The announcement was made Dec. 2 by Jeff Farris, president of the United States Collegiate Sports Council (USCSC), the organization that coordiuates the American participation in the games. Farris is the executive director of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in Kansas City. The city of Buffalo and the tri-<:ity area of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, N.C., both gave one-hour presentations to the USCSC Friday morning a! the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The U.S. selection will now join a process with other internationaJ cities vyin'g to be the si te of the 1993 World Universi ty Games.

"Both cities gave outstanding presentations and would have made good bid cites." Farris said . .. h was a case of A plus versus A. This is the first time that the United States has made a serious bid to host the Summer World Universi ty Games and I feel we will be an outstanding host if we arc named the winner in August. " Burt Aiclcingcr, chairman of the Buffalo local organizing committee, said "we arc honored to be selectcd by the USCSC to represent the USA in the competition for this major international event. We look forward to working With the USCSC and all the related national sports goveruing bodies in the preparation of this initial bid for th< 1993 Games." Dr. Ronald H. Stein, UB's vice presi- dent for University relations commented that the University is "'honored to be chosen as the host site for the United States' bid for the Games. We feel our the world site."

Cl) State's new ~thics Act requires financial disclosures • Policymakers and all employees earning more than $30,000 a year are required to file S1,000, except those from relatives. Also reponable is income of more than SI,OOO from honorariums, spcalcing engage ments, partnerships, consultant fees, real estate rent , dividends, trust income, and the sale of real property, among other !terns. By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Slatf nder th e State's new Ethics Act , policymakers and State employees who make more than S30,000 a year will be required to file an elaborate financial disclos ure statement for 1988. A new form must be filed annually. Research Foundation and U B Foundation employees will not be affected . The law goes into effect Jan. I, although the first financial disclosure form won' be due until May 15, 1989. According to Joseph Bress, executive director of the State Ethics Commission established as part of the law, the forms will go out in late March or early April. Thdaw is expected to affect between 50,000 and 60,000 employees State-wide, Bress said. Tfie commiSsion has a budget and will have the necessary R."rsonnel in place by April I, he said. At UB,thcre'are currently 1,666 Statefunded employees who earn more than $30,000 a year, said UB Associate Vice President for Human Resources Clifford B. Wilson. Bress said the law, enacted in 1987, had "a very broad range of support" from legislators from both parties. Also, Gov. Cuomo ~as very strong in supporting it," be said. In 1987, Cuomo had vetoed a much weaker ethics bill, Bress noted. The ethics scandals in New York City and elsewhere in the State led to the law's enactment in 1987, Bress said. Under the law, affected employees, their spouses, and unemancipated children will be required to list such items as income-producina property, stocks and bonds, corporate ofJ'JCersbips and interboard memberships in associations, partnerships, etc., and aifts of more tban'- U em, E mployecs will only have to list very broad categories of vaJue, empha~ sized Marti Ellermann, associate counsel · in the Office of the SUNY Counsel and Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs. For instance, a person owi ng $6,000 for a revolving charge account would list the name of the creditor, indicating only Category B ($5,000 to under $20,000). Also, certain items are excluded, Ellermann pointed ·out. These include "The first forms won't be due until May 15, 1989; employees will receive necessary papers by April." Ellermann said the statute authorizes the commission to i.ssue exemptions to the disclosure requirement; However, policymakers cannot under any circumstances receive an exemption. Also ineligible for an exemption arc those making over $30,000 who negotiate, authorize, or approve the following as part of their duties: • Contracts, leases, franchises ,' revocable consenu, concessions, variances, special permits, or licenses, as defined in Section ·73 of the Public Officers Law; • Purchase, sale, rental, or lease of real property, goods or services, or 8 contract; • Obtaining of grants of money or loans; • Adoption or repeal of any rule or regulation having the force and effect of law. Bress said that the commission will issue procedures for filing for an exemption later this month. H ow will the forms be distributed? Said - Ellermann: " I'm told the plan is for the Ethics Commission to distribute the form to agency payroll offices. I assume that each campus payroll and personnel office will then distribute them to employees. But the return of the form will be totally up to the individual." For his part, Clifford Wilson said that ownership of real property, as in a primary or secondary residence. As for liathe "'University is taking the perspeCtive bilities, these only have to be listed when that the whole busineu is between the commission and the individual." There they exceed S5,000 (as in revolving credit card charges, for example). are "workload issues and issues of confiDebts that are excluded includeed~cadentiality," Wilson said .

It is an honor for the University at "In addition to material related to ! A and regional issues, many of Kemp's speeches and other forms of testimony will also be preserved," says Finnegan. "Because Kemp developed a national following early in his congressional career, he consistently addressed a large national audience outside o[ hi district."

The transfer or such materials is facilitated by conferences that educate both congressmen and archivists_as to the selection and preservation of appropriate materials in a manner thilt enhances their usefulness to scholarly researchers.

No recommendation will be made regarding restri~tions on the availability of specific material until all documents are received and reviewed by the University. , Physical deterioration of the collection will be prevented by the use of standard archival preservation practices such as environmental controls and acid-free protective materials. The UB Archives also contain the papers of former Congressman Richard " Max" McCanhy, who held Kemp's congressional seat from 1964-70. Kemp was elected to the House of Representatives in the Jist congressional district in November 1970, and held the seat for 18 years. During this time he rose from freshman congressman to chairman of the House Republican Con· ference, the number three Republican leadership position in the House of Representatives. Early in his career, he became a national proponent of a conservative ~nomic policy. An advocate or supply-side economics, be became nationally prominent as the architect of two federal tax cuts during his congressional tenure. The controversial Kemp-Roth Bill of the late 1970s became the centerpiece of the 1981 tax reduction program adopted by congress and President Ronald Reagan. Kemp's ideas later contributed to sweeping changes in the nation's income tax laws in 1986, which drastically reduced the number and rates of federal income tax brackets. Kemp declined to run for re-<:lection to the congress this yllllt and has announced that he will serve as Distinguished Fellow with the Heritage Foundation. a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C., when he leaves office on January 2. CD Euth,nasia: is the right to life the right to death? By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD, Reporter StaN n elderly woman lies curled on her side, white sheets drawn up to her chin, a thin plastic tube leading from her nose to the intravenous feeding device at her bedside. Her eyes are open but unfocused, like the eyes or someone who is deep in thought. Or in pain. This image is from a film shown at a symposium on the pros and cons of active euthanasia held in Baldy Hall last Saturday. The symposium was organized by the Western New York Secular Humanists and the SUNY Buffalo Undergraduate Philosophy Club. Four of the featured speakers, Paul K:urtz -and Richard HulL of UB, Marvin Kohl of SUNY College at Fredonia, and Tad Clements of SUNY College at Brockppn, are philosophy professo~ . The ftfth Colleen Clements of the Umversity of Rochester, is a clinical professor in psychiatry. At issue during the symposium was the right of the woman, who had suffered two massive strokes and was no longer able to speak or communicate in any way, to die a quick and painless death. A dvocates of passive euthanasia., who oppose any ..active intervention" such as a lethal injection that would hasten death, would simply recommend that the intravenous tubes be removed. The woman would then die a "natural" death of dehydration or starvation within a week. · According to the film, before she 6ecame terminally ill, the woman bad expressed the wish, in a letter to her niece, to never have her life prolon&ed ~ .. heroic means." However, "'it's one thing to make such a decision while conscious and well," said Tad Clements. "It may be more painful to die {from dehydration and starvation) than she bad anticipated before she became ill." "Medically induced active intervention," said Paul Kunz and Marvin Kohl, would respect the right to die of patients like the woman in the ftlm and also spare them the prolonged suffering caused by the removal of artificial life supponing '-Systems. As proponents of active euthanasia, they believe that the terminally ill person who wishes to die but bas become incapable of committing suicide bas the right to be assisted in talcing his or her own life by "a medical doctor." A Thus rather than simply removing the intraveno115 tubes, the docto would respect the patient's right to dte by increasing the dosage of drugs or ad min· istering lethal injection. T he advocates of active cuthanasi·a . according to a statement distributed at the symposium that had been signed by both Kohl and Kunz, "suppon only voluntary euthanasia" The patient's wish to die must be documented in "a ·living will" and/ or "a power of attorney foi health care enabling another to act on his or her behalf." But ucording to Colleen Clements, "a living will is a dangerous document. If you have signed one, essentially you have signed a blank cheek for the state and other health care agencies to interpret as they wish." Clements said that modern medicine is motivated primarily by the desire to economize. Thus it is possible that in a terminalcase the "ambivalence" or the person who bas signed a livin& will, the unanlicipated desire of that pen;on to live a bit longer, might not be taken into account. "There are tremendous fon:es in medi- cine right now for scaling back costs," Clements stated . "And one way to scale back costs is to shorten the length or • treatment for terminally ill patients.~ Right now, even without legal active euthanasia, "there are all kinds or ways the medical system can pressure you," she went on. For example, a doctor might ask an elderly patient, "do you really think (in the advent or a stroke or a heart attack) that you want to be resuscitated? Do you want your skin to be burned, your ribs to be broken? And look how thin you are ... and your .osteoporosis. Do' you really think you can withstand it?" Another objection to active cuthana· sia, voiced by a doctor in the audience, is that physicians may not wish to assist their patients in taking their own lives. According to the statement signed by Kurtz and Kohl, however, advocates of active euthanasia .. respect the doctor's and the hospital's right to refuse to participate in administerin& such terminal medications." "All we want," said Kohl, "is to extend the right to control our own life, which is the right to control your own death." • �Decembers 1 Volume 20, 1 No. VieWQ~O~in~~~~S~ve-rsoino~f-rage-ap e-ared=- -;-d=:own~b.u~th~eyd=idn~ put- :a 'he Prl'nce and -Ag-ente-el • Educatton • PopuI1St / J By BILL SYLVESTER Enghsh Department W hat do Bob Ketter and Prince Charles have in common. outside of the fact that Bill Sylvester, English Department. has seen them both in England, Bob brieny by chance, and the Prince on TV attacking modern buildings? The once president of UB and head of the Earthquake Center, concerned with th~ ways huildirigs are haken down. the future King, speech-maker and media personality. co ncerned with the ways buildings are put up, seem to share a common assumption. namely: The building yo u see before you relates to the ea rth and its environment. One could argue that the differences are more interesting. the central one being that Bob Ketter knows wfiit..he is talking about and the prince doesn, , Or so professional architects claim. Prince Charles' recent speeches, particularl y a program on TV, have ch urned up an intensity of reaction that goes beyond the specific interest in architecture. The Prince has come out with presu mably radical ideas before. but without much response. Surely he go t to the root of a problem when he urged doctors to consider alternative medicine. The doctors formed a committee to consider th e matter. and that was the end of that. At another tim e the Prince has sa id th at he didn't want to be King over a country half poor and half rich. A few people frowned, and nothing happened. Now that he has attacked modern architecture. the comments are still being written; almost a month later. the letters are still coming in to the 1imes. the Guardian, the Independent, the Daily Telegraph. Almost all of the letters stan out by sayi ng that the Prince is wrong in one way or another, but in general he is absolutely right. No two people seem to agree on what is wrong ... he is out of touch with economic realities ... he is thinking of the rich ... he dreams of a reaction. a necrclassical style that is out 'of date. If you add up all the auacks. then there doesn \ seem to be much left, and maybe the professionals are right - he is si mply wrong. Why then the enthusiasm? S orne of the reasons for the response an: probably local and peculiarly Bntish, and may escape me. For example, his accent. He has, of course an aristocratic accent, but there is also a s uper accent which the Prince does not have. Mrs. Thatcher sounds as if she has more plums in her mouth than the Prince. (People here have agn:ed with me that the difference does exist, but they don~ agree with me that the difference has moved people in any way.) His is a preppy style, the disdainful sharp simile thatjlistances the subject: One building Jooks "like a word processor," a library like a place to "incinerate books," and on the BBC program ho-pointed out the horror of a BBC building, just as he auacks medicine to doctors, architecture at a meeting of architects. It's nice to hear a young man speak his mind without worrying about his career. He may be wrong in many ways. but he has tapped into a sou rce of real rage. Thc buildings he hates, arc truly hateful, and the buildings he likes look beuer. and give 11 beuer feeling, something that is .hard for us to experience in Buffalo where we have an extraordinary number of old fashioned and very comfortable houses. The Prince's views of America are a trifle fuuy. He apparently thinks that we never had a skyline to ruin , a nd anyway, in America tall buildings are presumably beautiful, ri si ng, as they do, straight " up from the plains of Texas." In England, however, the Prince was pictured looking at a model of a building and asking the architects, " Why does it have to be so TALL?" They had no answer. What he says about b~ ildings is less important than the underlying rage. ho-.-:-rnblt when the Prince tried to knock down a hateful building. He wo rked the lever on a machine that would drop the demolition ball. but he had to counteract the motio n just as th e ball hit. otherwise the steel cable would keep on spinn ing and go off the drum in a snarl. The Prince. straight up. a hard hat level o n his head . pulled the lever: the ball would go down , but -he coirected too soo n. and nothing would happen. After several tries he gave up. and kft. Suddenly. in what looked hkc building up in its place, the Prince said and added, "We did th at. . . " We did that. a genuinely impromptu response. he or ..deconstructionivists .. - v.hate\er turned and asked the wo rkman to show how it should be done. The demolition ball went up, dropped. and the entire noor of the building shook., threw up dust. broke in half. and pulled the rest of the structure down with it. A strangely satisfying moment.... I remember at Case Institute watching the demolition ball work on the wall of a building, and I remember saying to a professor of mathematics that it was strangely satisfyi ng. He agreed and then added, "But after a week , I'm beginning to run o~t of people to think about." The \lUftwaffe knocked buildings the difference may be - "kno"- and " we" don\. "They" have done it to "us." The resentment emerges u~er and over in the letters and the comments.

The Prince alluded to other complexities: the need for buildings to be cortJidered with respect to commercial interests. and - in an other context - to the education of the people who draw up the plans.

The universi ties ask: '' Where is the m·o ney and what do we do when we get it?" The answer, from many so urces: '' We're going to tell you how to use it."' When people are upset about society, they usually reach for a high school teacher and stan kicking first. Professors tend to be safer for a little while, but nevenheless my knee-jerk professorial response to the Prince's claim th at education should be changed is: .. Forget it! .. We don't want creationists in the geology department (although I might tolerate a course by Jimmy Swaggan on Advanced Photography). A ny public pressure to change education is us ually disastrous, but if I think of what confronts us. the familiar list of problems, the ozone layer, energy, loss of vegetation, the ocean, the growing volume of nuclear wastes and poisons for which no solution has been found , eanhquakes - all of these problems involve survival on a massive scale. To cope with these we will nee<;\ an educational, commercial. governmental, and technician nexus the like of which we have never seen. We will have to have some son of triage, and the consequences will be bitter. and possibly disastrous, too. The relationship between theo ry a nd application is in for some rude shakings, and the Prince's speeches are the first temblor. The purpose of research will have to becOme more publicly visible. We can' train people solely for the purely theoretical where the graduates will say in effect (as I remember from Stephen Gould): "I know what I'm doing, and you wouldn' understand even if I explained it, so just give me the money and let me alone." The general purpose and the economic conditions will have to be more clearly spelled out. On the other hand, the strictly applied won) work, where the degree is granted and printed on masking tape, so the graduate can peel it off and press it down on a job description ... technology changes too rapidly, so that masking tape won' stick. We have to redefine the relationshilJ between theoretical and applied, and yet we have no model. Unfonunately, the Prin'ee seemed unaware that our problems are fa r worse than they seem, and so he radiated sincerity. He is not afraid of the word "spiritual" and I can only hope that reality doesn' justify my pessimism. I would much rather have hi s peaceful sense of deep and what seems to be truly experienced faith .

He was not a commanding presence until he began to read. Stanley Kunitz, who has been called America's "'senior statesman of poetry'" by Kirkus Reviews, was hom in I905 in Worcester, Mass., where he spent most of his childhood. He graduated as vaiedictorian of his high school class and went on to graduate from Harvard University, summa cum laude. with an A.B. in English in I926. The followi ng year he earned a master's degree in English, also at Harvard . After graduation, a t 22, Kunit z published his first volume of poems, lntellecrual ~· Since then, he has published severaibooks of poems and essays, along with translations of the Russian poets Andrei Voznesensky and Anna Akhmatova. Kunitz's reputation as a writer is well~ founded. H is awards include the Pulitzer Prize in 1959, the Brandeis Medal of Achievement in 1965, the National E ndowment for the Arts Senior · Fellowship in 1984, and the Bollingen Prize in 1987. · ut to the poet himself. these accolades are of secondary impor· tance . .. 1 don't think one can measure a career by prizes;• Kun itz said in an interview . ..The great moments arc when you feel you've written something that partly satisfies your desire to capture a complex of thoughts and feelings , that stands for yourself and the meaning of your life." For Kunitz, this "capturing" usually takes place after midnight. "I'm a night person," he admitted. "The [writing] process is essentially to try to get rid of the day's clutter as much as possible. "It's an act of meditation, really," he continued . "Trying to dig down tbrough the layers of the self to the 1CCret place where all human 'Cnergies now from ." When exploring these deepest levels of the self, the innuence of one's childhood plays a major role in steering the direction of a poem, according to Kunitz. · "Right in the middle and the hean of your psyche sits that child . That is where poems spring from, and it doesn' grow old. The body ages, but the imagination is forever young. Or else it die5." B K unitz, at 83, has produced a body of writing that is very diverse in style. His poems range from rhyming rhythmic verse to free verse. In his most recent book, Nexr-ro-I.Asr Thing•. his style is freerthan before, and the use of humor is abundant. "It would be a silly enterprise to spend one's whole life writing the same poem or the same kind of poetry," Kunit z remarked . "There ought to be changes in the an· corresponding to the changes in the life. "Humor is one of the ways of expanding tbe nature of tbe an itself, but there is also an effon to grow more and mol'C human as we arow older, and to incorporate that sense or humanity into the an." For Kunitz, this sense of humanity is tied to a lineage of mythmaken and storytellers that includes " the tellers of tales aroun!l the C"'i!P fire all the way back to the beginning of the race." According to Kunitz, the fundamental philosophical questions asked by all men are at the root of both poetry and mythology: "Poetry has its roots in the great myths that people build about why they're here on this planet, where they come from, where they are going. These are the same questions that all mythology contends with." But Kunitz's influences are diverse. He also draws from modem science in his poems, in "Science of the Night," for example ... Science is an exercise for the imagination in a different field that corresponds to the major effon of the imagination in the ans," he said. He added: " I think the findings. the investigations of modern science, are as exciting. as magnificent u anything that happens in the ans. There are many diJCiplines. but only one imagination." T he modem poet, however, faces obstacles that tbe scientist does not. " A poet has to have a sense of belonging to a world that wants those poems and values them, " Kunitz explained. A "fellows hip of poets" is therefore necessary, accordinato Kunitz. "Wherever one travels, poets arc in a kl nd of brotherhood and sis terhood that transcends nationhood and transcends all of the political and social differences, even the lanauage barrier." he said . "Wherever one aces in the world, the poets constitute, one feels, the phalanx of humanity iliCif. One of the problems of American poetry is that there is no sense of community within our society." The poet's role is an indispensable one, be nid, aod a society without poetry would be "aterile aod doomed." He blamed the conformist nature of society for what he feels is a Jack of passion in modern poetry. "All the pressures of society are toward crushing the nonconformist, or e t least eliminating the nonconformer from what Presidentelect Bush would call the 'mainstream' of American life. "The anist , and the poet in particular among the anists, is the last vestige of the free and self-reliant human being. and is therefore on the periphery of our society, not in the center of it." K unitz is doing his share to help young poets. Each summer, he resides in Cape Cod, working with writers at the Fine Ans Work Cent~r in Provi ncetown. " When I was young, and staning to publish my poems. the climate for poets was very different than it is now," he recalled. "When I began writing, there was nobody to tum to, no older poet that could be of any help to me, or that I would even think of turnin& to for critical help or suppon of any kind . " I made a vow to myself th 6t if I ,.ere ever in a position to be of help to you nger poets. I would do so." he added. " I've tried in my own way to fulfill that vow as best I can." Kunitz continues to write. and plans to publish a new and collected volume of poems in I990. the year of his 8Sth binhday. He seems to live the role of poet , as a storyteller, as a philosopher, u an anist. And u a pe non who is si multaneously hi' touch with the univeraal rhythms of humanity yet fiercely ind ividual and alone. "The areat German poet (Paul) Celan said 'Poems are ICilltary and on their way,' " Kuniu concluded.

Freschi is leaving his I natiye British Columbia and a successful architectural practice to tak.e the reins of a school he finds promising, in a city he deems "powerful." Freschi, appointed last year to the Order of Canada for his outstanding , contributions to the field of architectural design, is the fourth dean of the school, and the second working architect to bold the position. He succeeds Judith Albino, interim dean since August, 1?87. In ma'>l.!!g the appointment, President Sample c'lliilmented: "The enthusiasm he brings to this position is exceptional. We are fonunate indeed to welcome Bruno Freschi to the University community. His presence here is certain to have a positive impact on both the future of the School of Architecture and Planning and redevelopment efforts in the City of Buffalo." n an interview the Rtporttr, I Freschi said he "had reached that with -.,. .

In fact, Fruchi had bee"n anociate professor in the University of British Columbia' School of Architecture from 1969-78, and actina head of its graduate program from 1969-1974.

Recently approved by the UGC's curriculum committee, the course now awaits approval by the general assembly. It is intended as a one-semester course to be taken by all students, probably at the sopho.!Dore level. Under the proposal, the course will be piloted in the fall of 1989, continuing each semester through the spring of 1991. The course is an outgrowth of the UGC's commitment "to an educational policy and curriculum that acknowledges the expanding presence of non-European ethnic minorities and women. nationally and regionally." But Thomas Barry of Classics has lambasted the course. 1 tating that it has "a political and ideological bias, with n Marxist overtones. paper submitted to the assembly, I nhea writes: - The last thing we need is come f;om the left.

Indeed, should the UGC not strive to provide our stu- dents with the skills to be able to resist the allure of every new social dogma which will surely come tripping down the pike at regular intervals? Of course!n But William Fischer, chair of the committee that designed the course, says it is needed in a society that is increasingly diverse. Fischer has cited st.atistics showing the increasing ethnic and cultur- al diversity of the U.S. by the year 2000, when, it is ~timated , one-third of all U.S. citizens will be non-white. The course is designed to ma.ke students more sensitive to the forces that create cultural disunity. Fischer's com- mittee has so far examined about 125 readings that are the basis of a preliminary .bibliography of about 20 items. This bibliography in tum would comprise 35 percent of the readings for each section. Most of the readings would be determined by the instructor, in line with the flexibility of the Course, to be taught by faculty from a number of disciplines. The preliminary bibliography is a mix of classic texts on scapegoating, prejudice, and stereotyping in Anoerican society, along with briefs from landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions on discrimination cases, and works by such writers as W.E.B. Du Bois, Alice Walker, and Richard Wright. A I ben ),.. Michaels of History told the uscmbly that he bas followed the debate clotCly, havina read both the propotal and Barry's euay. The usumptiont of the coune, said Michaels, ·"are unclear. We all know the _population is chanaina and that American busineu is tryina to be more responsive to thOIC changes. '"Still, are we wumina that our students are implicitly racist, unable to live in a multi-racial society?... It pains me to say this, but I feel that there is a hidden aaenda.

A professor has the respon sibility of educating his students in his or her area of knowledge, seeking not to indoctrinate them, but to enlighten them. • A professor should distinguish fact from opinion, liypothesis from cOnclusion, and present critically the varieties of scholarly opinion of which he or she is aware." Con~luded Meacham: "The corttent of the course on American plura!ism might be taught from any number of critical perspectives, including Marxist, psy- choanalytic, socio-biological, and Jeffersonian. And it would make me proud as a professor at this University to have this course required of all students." 8 ut Barry stuclr. to his contention that "Americab Pluralism ..... is an advo- cacy course." He commented: "If this body wants to promote it as such, then it should be honest enough to say so." Further, said Barry, the course is a "radical departure from what the Undergraduate College has taught already, since it is politicizing the subject matter." Scholars, he said "should be able to get outside of such orthodoxies. Two things are forgotten in t!Jis course: the il)divid- ual and the common good." Nicholas Kazarinoff of Mathematics countered that recent reports of racial discrimination in area bars bring home the contention that the course is necessary. "This isnl a leftist . or a rightist perspective. It involves human lieings and (it) gets them to see othera' points of view. A course that brings to young people such an issue is a very aood thing." Jeannette Ludwi& of Modem Lan&UIJCI also offered her endorsement. "The role of the Univenity is to spoDJor debate, intelliaent criticism, and thinlr.ini tbrouah arauments. I can see no better place than (this coune) to place the studentJ' values in context with some of the . 1reater thillltera of this lJid other c;enturies •.. to debate lJid to try to arnve at conclusions, bC they of the ri&bt or the lei\." Richard Ellis of· History said the course :S proposed didn l differ .much from a standard sociology course. Addi, tionally, he said, if the course "is based on the premise that 'America is a racist society,' then we ought to say it. We should make this vel')' explicit." • Robert Pope, als6 of History, said he has opposed the course from the stan. It is an ... American-bashing.. cffon and offers no point of comparison with 'lther countries, he said. But Fischer said he emphatically does not wish .. to pose the course as an advocacy course." Also. he said, the course cannot be made into "another global monolith," such as the world civilizall.on course, now under way. He added: "Our basic task is to shrink it into a manageable size, yet still main· tain a certain kind of depth. We canl aslr. everything of this course. l'm·aslr.ing for a sense of modesty and flexibility in ·bow the course is seen." Provost William Greiner said the subject matter is intleed important to UB students, and hopes "it will be taught from a multidisciplinary• perspective. I think we can pull it off." In Greiner's view, some Comparative material with other nations would be "useful." In any case, he said, "this is a grCat issue for contemporary Americans. If it becomes an advocacy or indoctrination course. it will fail because our stude"~ts will reject it." · F ud See of English offered this comment: ··we have to recognize that Ameiica-bashing can creep in. Let's not let that happen." In any event, he said, students must be presented with a healthy skepticism · about ideals. He agreed with Greiner "that our students will reject the course if we lr.eep it to a narro~ dogma." , Michaels admitted that "it is possible for any of us to teach the course, but who will teach it? The course is designed by the politically astute. Those who teach it will teach it from a political perspective. If the bulk of the people (teaching' American Pluralism1 have a political agenda, the course will divide tbe campus." Jonathan Reichert of Physics and Astronomy said he favors the course, though he is concerned about "pans of it." He then saluted the "wonderfl'l energy" tbat has gone into developing the UGC and its programs. As for the alleged political agenda, Reichert said he ..couldn' imagine this faculty going on a political diatribe to address this issue." The debate bad to be curtailed when a group that had reserved the room arrived at 5 p.m. Discussion of the course will resume at the I)CXt general assembly meeting, Dec. 15.

COIIIPETITIVE CIVIL SERVICE o K<Jboord Are our attention spans getting_shorter? ·ay J an anything be ' ore closely tied to learning than your auention span? Do attention spans change with age? Are they shorter today, even among the student-age population, than back in the good old days? No, yes, and probably not, seem to be the answers. Next queslion: why? ..There have been theories of attention in relation to the ability to learn." according io. Andrew. Siegel, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and a neuropsychologist. In the 1960s , he said, theories were advanced that related attention and learning. It was " postulated that there is an attcntional response to novel stimuli which is needed before learning. (It was) called the orienllng response." Siegel said that this orienting response is a prerequisite for learning. He described the response this way. "The organism turns its head and orients to the novel stimulus. At that moment you will see EEG (electroencephalogram) activation occur. There are activations of respiration and circulation. As soon as that stimulus is recognized as familiar, the orienting response dimiriishes." Only after that "snap to attention" is it possible to learn, Siegel said.

"I would not have raised that as an issue. I scream and make enough demands that in my class, students do OK.." DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Repo<ter Staff A I f learning is tied to attention, then observations that attention spans have declined could spel~ disaster. But Norman Solkoff, professor of psychiatry and director of the Office of Teaching Effectiveness, disagrees t hat attention spans have diminished in recent yean. "I don l think that our attention span · is 1~, it's just that we're more used to attending to different things. !think that we're used to being spoon-fed, particularly by TV." Solkoff said television hasnl changed the ability of people to pay attention; it's just that they now tend to pay attention to other thinas. "We're more used to the pictorial passive: You're sitting there and something's coming at you. While you read, however. you actively participate." Siegel agreed: "My penonal opinion, not based on any systematic research, is that children growing up today 'have their attention bombanled as passive learners and participants in passive recreation by TV, computers, walltmen, and obtrusive musi~. " ' Derek Sanders, professor of communicative disorders and sciences, agrees with Reichert that the reason students pay attention is because they are made to do so ... 1 think that a student's attention span is primarily a measure of a faculty member's ability to keep him or her interested . I do think that the size of the class is a factor as is student involvement. " None of the professors queried has seen any marked decrease in attention spans over the years. " If I compare how attention spans have changed or no! changed, I don't see any change," said Clyde Herr~i~ professor of biology. Herreid agreed with Sanders' statement about the size of the class: "In big classes, we always find there are more distractions." Orville Murphy, a specialist in prerevolutionary French history, said attention spans may change mo~ from one culture to another than from one time period to the next. "In general, most of the studies I've read suggest that attention spans drop within 15-20 minutes into a lecture." Murphy wondered whether attention span is dependent on the culture. That is, will the span change as the culture changes? Murphy said the Methods of Inquiry class now being taught on campus may help people extend their attention spans. f co~rse, attention· spans vary with age, Siegel said. "Attention spans increase through childhood. Also, there is the issue of learning to sit stiU while paying !lttention. A penon learns to gate or. shut out competiqg stimuli and maintain focus on the stimulus that is most important to pay attention to." This reporter tried to ieacb Associate Professor Charlet F ourtner, who cooductJ experiments on nerves in the. Biology Department, but he waanl able to talk. At 10:54 Lm., be apologized, · "my attention span is very limited because I have a lecture at eleven." Judging from that, maybe attention s pans are r.oletive, just like most everything in Einstein's universe. 0 ...CD . �o-tnber1,1SIU Volume 20, No. 14 · M By JEFFREY TREBB Reporter Staff ost of us are only remotely aware of Mikhail Gorbachev's attempted reforms in contemporary Russia. But we are probably no less unsure than the Russian people are about where these reforms will lead or even how long they will last. Emily Tall, associate professor of Russian at UB, recently returned from a twomonth visit to the Soviet Union sponsored by the US / USSR Cultural Exchange. She, too, is unable to answer thest questions definitively. But that there are indeed sharp, genuine changes in Russian society, largely the result of perntroika and glasnost, she feels is beyond contention. The Russians, she noted, .. want to return to world civilization." As an example of this return, Tall offers the highly symbolic serial publication of James Joyce's Ulysses kin current literary journals and an upcoming edition of the masterpiece in book form planned for 1990. Though portions of Ulysses had been translated and published in Russia during the 1930s, official opposition barred its completion. The work was then likened by Karl Radek, a Soviet publicist, to a "heap of dung, crawling with worms, photographed by a movie ·ussR is returninQ to world civilization Take the case of Joyce's 'Ulysses,' Emily Tall suggests after Soviet visit camera throug!l a microscope." T all suggests that the Soviets, lacking a religion, made one of animosity toward Joyce. "The work was called anti-humanistic, pessimistic about progress, and nihilistic. The prose was .con_demned as elitist and apt to destroy the 'Russian novel' at a time when there was a live struggle in Russia as to which course prose should take," she said . In the following balf century, Joyce became a legend among the Russian literary intelligentsia and the "20 or so" people who actually knew his work in the original through underground photocopies. But in the 1970s, this same portion of Russian society became aware of"the efforts of Tall's friend , Victor Khinkis, to translate Ulyssts. An alcoholic and ~c-<lepressive who worked on Ulyssts in his free time, KJ:!inkis supported himself by translating such ~pproved (though Joyce-influenced) books such as Faulkner's The Hamlet and The.:rown and Updike's The Centaur in his _healthier moments. Then Khinkis died tragically of heart failure in 19g1, Tall continues, believing Unlike the situation in America, Tall explains, translaton and translations are generally exalted in Russia because they are "bearen of another culture, windows on the outside world that interacts with and becomes a part of Russian culture. And in this case, the editors, scholars, publishers, and translators now felt a .special responsibility for Uly.ses, since so many works shaped by Joyce had already been officially published." Due to this intense scrutiny, but also because Khoruzhii was tess skilled in translation than Khinlcis, his work received several bad reviews, while "spoiled nerves al)d bad feelings" gave the ensuing controversy an· almost Westem character. "The opposition of high and low diction in the ' Penelope' episode, the appropriate rendering of slang into Russian, for example; all of this was now being debated in the public forum," Tall says, emphasizing the novelty of such a situation. Finally attempting to redeem the his- toric and literary injustices involved in the past suppression of his works, highranking cultural officials now refer to Joyce as "one of the great artists of the 20th century," and to Ulysses as "a golden treasure of world literature, a child of perestroika. " AI or is this an isolated incident within / PI the field of literature. Even such anti-totalitarian classics as the memoirs of Nadezbda Mandelstam and Orwell's Animal Farm will soon be published, though no on<!' knows how tong these trends will last. Even more significant is the slow movement toward religious tolerance. Tall speaks of a lectuse she attended in Moscow given by a prominent priest to benefit victims of Stalinjst oppression. Emily Tall: The Soviets. lacking a relig ion, made one ol an imosity toward Joyce (at left). that his work would never be published \ \ in Russia. In his last will and testament, he turned all manuscripts and finished work. over to his friend Sergei Khoruzhii (whom be had consulted on philosophical and theological aspects of Ulysses), with the hope that the translation would one day be completed, be available underground in Russia, and be published in ·the West. Shortly thereafter, in the centenary year of Joyce's birth , Khoruzhii began translating the epi- Vic tor Kh inkis translate d Ulysses into Russian. sodes of Ulysses left unattempted b y Khinkis. Later stilt, in 19g5, the shift in favor of cultural acceptance began with the arri val of Gorbachev. .T he work of Khink is was acknowledged by the orth odox establish. ment and hailed as "philologically \ \ ' i /\·, . \ .t · .· / superb," so that Khoruzh ii was given an official contract to translate the remainder of Ulysses, a task that took until 19g6 to complete . Tall points out that after excerpts of Khoruzhii's translation were published in 19g6, "events followed which ten years earlier would have been unimaginable." Rather than bemoaning the governmental control from above over unllublished li,terature, scholars instead began to argue among themselves about the quality and accuracy of Khoruzhii's translation. Ostensibly he was to talk of the Bible and this year's Christian millennium in Russia. He did. But he spoke subtly of contemporary affairs at the "Same time. Alluding to 19th century tsarist oppQsition to the Bible, a " republican book," he boldly asserted: "If you hide the word of God there will be a disaster." Tall again stresses that this would have been impossible a year ago. T • all continues by noting that these reforms challenge the repressive side of Soviet society known as .. 'mancurdization. •The word is taken from a story in which a tribe captured many prisoners. On the heads of the captured they placed the skins of freshl y killed animals, which by drying caused their heads to shrink. Many died immediately. Those that lived, the 'mancurds, ' both became good slaves and forgot their roots." Thus the dual tendency toward reform and nationalism. Great emphasis is placed on national and traditional values so that Joyce is rehabilitated as an · . .. Irish" writer rather than a "cosmopolitan" one. Rightly or wrongly, Tall says, " Joyce's use of myth (of which the Soviets disapprove) is associated with interest in Celtic legend (of which they do approve)." . Likewise, the roots of Russian culture are professed to lie in the Bible. But the movements are not necessarily or exclusively insular, she specifies. The Russians want to feet pride in their own buried culture, but they are interested in others as well. The invitation Tall received from a youth center in Moscow is surely a telling example of this desire to learn about the West. Though it is still being planned, the Russians wish to begin· a cultusal exchange with students from VB and are already prepared to send a delegation of six people. ln fact , they are even willing to pay the expenses of UB students, even those who doo-'1-know Russian. Interested students may contact Tall at636-2191. · CD �December 8,.1888 Volume 20, No. 14 By DAVID M. S NYDERMAN Reporter Stall tudent unrest and a rrest arrived early'-at U B. One episode is espeeoally worth remembering. II begah on Dec. 15, 1964, when the then Buffalo Evening News printed a short a nnou~cement of an impending state visi t to the Buffalo area. The brief was tilled : "Ruler Due He re From Marchant ia ... It was phoned into th e News. The sho n a rticle read : · Aveillugd Urubod, th e thatIus or ruling monarch ol the principalily ol Marchanlia, will arrive at Greater Bullalo International Airport at 1:48 tomorrow afternoon on a two -day visit to the Bullato area. The thallus was said 10 be fro m a principality a bo ut the size of Buffalo in th e southwestern section of the Arabi an Peninsul a. According to the News. the potent ate was o n a State Department lOUr o f the U.S. On Dec. 16, so mewhe re between 700 and 2,000 UB st ude nts were at the Greater Buffalo Interna tio nal Airport when the th a llus arri ved . in order to pro· test the arri va l of th is supposedly a nti Semitic ruler. A bUgler was there. coaxing the crowd to fo llow his musical ... directions a nd sit o r sta nd or walk bac kward . depending on which notes he played . His job was to teach the crowd the traditi onal, musical instruct io ns of Ma rchanti a. AI one point , the bugler played ''Charge. " The students d id . In the process. they apparently broke some as htrays and cracked a pane of glass. In addition. a snow fence was pushed over and a few nails were thrown into an escalator. Total damages were soon revised downward 10 S600 from the originally reponed $2,000. No students were ever charged or arrested for the damage done. Even the bugler 'disappeared into thin air. The next day , the News accused "1,000 Stale University of Buffalo students (of) ... wrecking fumitu~ . jostling innocent bystanders and generally turn ing the Greater Buffalo International Airport into a frightening mob scene." For all of the News'indignation, how.ever, none of the "jostled innocent bystanders" was reponed injured. S W hen the thallus stepped off of the American Airlines plane, Cheektowaga police offered to escort Rim away for his own protection. He stepped into a waiting patrol car and left for Cheektowaga Police Headquarters. Apparently, the protesters, who carried such signs as "Thallus Return 10 Your Palace," "No Malice Towards Thallus," and "Arab Go Home:," gave lhc police reason 10 fear for the head of slate's safety. When the thallus, along with his uniformed escort, arrived at lhe Cheektowaga poljce station, he gave his name as Arthur A . Schein , ool Aveillugd Urubod. Why? Because a thallus is a stem, not a ruler; marcbantia is a liverwort, not a country; AveiUugd Urubod was a figment, nol a sultan; and, Arthur Schein was _a. prankster, not .a thallus. And this ingenious, original hoax turned out to be a public relations disastCr, not a humorously treated incidcnL S chcio was charged with disorderly conduct and ftncd $50 by Cheektowaga Peace Justice Joseph E. Pysczynski on Jlln. 18, 196S. Richard Siggelkow, who was dean of students at the time, indefinitely suspended Schein but not before posting his bail and pulling him up for the night. No c ue, other than Schein, was arrested or even identified as laking pan in any wrongdoing. Later, even the penalty was dropped. "The lower couns found him guilty and we went up on appeal to the County Coun,~ said Paul Birz.on, Schein's attorney and an adjunct faculty member of the Law School. .. It was reversed on a technical ground. The specific provision on which he was charged was causing a crowd to gather. Our argument was that he himself did nothing to cause the crowd 10 gather. The crime required a form of intent which he: did not have." According 10 Binon, the scope pf the situation came as a complete surprise to Schein. "He had no idea how the thing had mushroomed in 24 hours." · The N•ws had egg on its face. As a result, the paper fell thai it was its responsibility 10 call for every punishment short of the death penalty lo be ~evicd against Schein. The paper was joined in its outrage by almost every other publication thai reponed the incident. Siggclkow, now Employee Assistance Program coordinator and a professor emeritus, explained in the National Association of Srudent Personnel Admin· isrrarors Journal of October 1965: "Possibly to cover their embarrassment over the hoax, the news- media were in no mood to check out lhc facts or verify all of the statements immediately forthcoming from the angry airport spokesmen." Binon agreed. "The Evming N•w's '- was very embarrassed by the fact thai they were tueo in by this ruse. They were angry. Consequenlly, they ca'!'e down bard on him (Schein)." Of course, the fact !hat the (now defunct) Couri.,-Exprrss didn't also gel snookered didn't stop that paper from engaging in some student bashing as well. In an editorial, the Courier termed the thallus prank "irresponsible outrageous conduct of an estimated 1,000 University of Buffalo students." The editorial went on to ask "whether there aren't a lot of young people in college who have no business being there. Those who participated in lhe senseless demonstration have given pretty substantial proof thai they 'are intellectually immature."' S iggelkow devotes most of a chapter in his soon-to-be-oublished book, Colleg• Stud•nt Un,.sr - Con /r Happ•n Again?, to the th allus story. In il , he explains thai he used $200 thai be bad been saving for Christmas gifts to bail Schein out. "I brought Mr. Schein home with me. Lois (Siggelkow's wife) had coffee and doughnuts for us, and two curious, young sons, who had never seen a thallus or ever stayed up as late befor~. " Siggelkow went on 10 say that a group of students came 10 his house after he had taken Schein home with him. Schein had already fiillen asleep. Siggelkow thought thai the gathering was a continuation of the prank. "My first impulse was 10 kill," he writes, "since I immediately concluded thai a delegation of UB students had arrived lo hear the thallus SI'Cak Arabic words of wisdom, or some such foolishness, from our front balcony in what had previously been considered a respectable neighborhood . I was wrong. "The little group assembled directly beneath our bedroom windows, sang soflly ... two Christmas carols." Siggelkow continu~d: "!learned later from one of the carolers that they were Artie's roommates, just expressing their appreciation for my havin& rescued him from an unpleasant ovemlpt stay in a cold jail cell." he final damages were pegged at T around S600. Not surprisingly, the student body as a whole ended up chipping in to raise the amount. The a irpon legal department has lost whatever records they had of the thallus incident and were unable to give an exact figure for the damages. If the Cheektowaga police ever had that information, they too have lost it. What was al 'the root (so 10 speak) of the prank? Apparently, several Biology I 19 students, presumably Schein was one of them, had been up too late studying for a final. One 'of the top ics that they had to f OYer .was a liverwon stem. In biological j argon, the name for the stem of a particular liverwort is " thallus of marchantia." The thallus of Marchanlia did not, in fact, rule anything larger than a plant stalk. When the students realized that thallus of marchantia sounded like something other than a liverwon stem, they decided to ha ve so me fun with the name. The co-conspirators then called the News and the Courier. reserved a room at the Lenox Hotel (that's where visiting YIPs stayed a t the lime), and organized the student protest. Schein took a night to Newark with a 40-minute stopover before lhe return trip and then stepped off the plane into the wait ing arms of the Cheektowaga police. Pan of the reason for the large amount d:f negative attention was the lack of understanding of students in general. "That was before the era of student protests. lt was a time when students were: more orderly and society was more orderly. Today people are more jaded in terms of responses, in terms of protests, in terms of what students can and what students do say," said Dennis Black, associate vice provost for student services. Siggelkow• also found the press ' response 10 be· overbearing. "II w.S somewhat disconcerting to observe firsthand bow the press influences public reactions. Incomplete rePI>rting of such events lo lhe detriment of college youth implies the possibility of similar carelessness in covering major and more complex situations ...

W Newcomer Behling enjoys his teaching By JEFFREY TREBB Reporter Staff fter 20 years of commended teaching at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Ill., the psychologist Charles Behling decided this fall to take a position as clinicaJ associate professor at UB. The reason? "It's simple," he says. ''The trials of a two-year commuting marriage proved to be a .. burden. I've ·' come to join my wife. Jennifer Crocker, who ·s also a professo r of psychology here." The specific basis of his decision to transfer may indeed have been "simple." But the decision process itself was "a nything but (simple)." Difficult, A wrenching, and agonizing are the descriptions Behling offers, adding that these "terribly mixed feelings" resulted from his intense involvement with several generations of students at Lake Forest. There, the former department chair was not only honored as the recipient of the school"s "Great Teacher" award and listed as the "favorite professor" in the Underground Guide to the College of Your Choice, but was also widely appreciated as a humanist active in a variety of larger community affairs. university and B ehling first became interested in psychology while working as a reporter. After earning his master's degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina, he set out to cover the growing civil rights movement in the South. Eventually, he came to view the different aspects of the movement ..essentially as communication," which led to further study in psychology. In 1968, just before rccc:iving his doctorate in psychology from Vanderbilt University, Behling joined the faculty at Lake Forest. Race, minority issues. and civil rights continued to be among his major interests because ~hey combine a number of viewpoints and ate valuerelated." While at Lalce Forest. Behling taught several seminars in race and diversity and worked to increase minority recruitment and retention. His long in minority concerns} yielded several conclusions. Behling is worried that the "hope and sense of purpose" that characterized the 1960s are being replaced by the "smaller dreams of the '80s." He adds: "It's particularly sad for me to see the change from the celebration of diversity in the '60s to fear of diversity in the '80s. We in the majority have lost the full sense of what the minority can bring to our Jives." The psychologist•s other interests range from the literature of adolescence to .. mass communication and the media - the question being how they influence arid reflect society"s behavior." Though he has researched and wriuen often on these subjects, Behling still sees himself Mprimarily as a teacher" and therefore an bile appreciating the work of other researchers as "excellent," Behling feels especially proud of his teaching awards and his attentiveness to undergraduate needs. What does he believe makes great teachers? "They should be true to tbe subject matter, true to their strengths, and true to their passions. And they should respect the students' diversity as individuals and not impose their opinions upon them." . Behling prefers the "richness of diffefent e,pinions and world views" and holds that it is important "for students to speak their minds, differ openly, struggle with questions. and relate their learning to the real world." In a special effort to bridge the gap that so metimes exists between students and teachers, Behling is developing a program in the Psychology Departme9t for teaching assistants who wish to become teachers. MThe seminar is an attempt to ease the transition between the two roles." he says of his project which is oriented toward teaching methods and teaching effectiveness. Aside from teaching, Behling also works as a clinical supervisor of students in the Psychology Department. D espite recurreni feelings of homesickness, Behling finds that his personal interests irt teaching and minority concerns have translated well to UB and the Buffalo area. For instance, he took part in the International Women Playwrights Conference. Behling also plans to teach his senior seminar on race next semester. ln this co urse, he focuses on the s·tereot y ~s of racism but aJso gives attention to seXism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of prejudice. He concludes: "My only hope for next se meste r is to have the same kind of interesting and lively students I was graced with this fall ." CD Brooklyn College's ~ore curriculum: a model or T By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporter Staff T he core curriculum of Brooklyn College has become "an exemplary model" for colleges and uni-versities across the country. Brooklyn College Provost and Vice President for Academic "'ffairs Ethyle Wolfe said here last week. Yet the process of revision and refine· ment will continue there. she said. "The Brooklyn College curriculum is a work-in-prog~." Wolfe's Dec. I lecture at 104 Knox Hall was part of UB's Undergraduate College Colloquium Series. The subject of the lecture was particularly timely since the University is currently developing its own core curriculum for undergraduates. The purpose of the core curriculum at Brooklyn College, Wolfe explained, "is to give the student a penpective, an overall view of a subject or branch of learning, and a substantial amount of essential information, which together with otber core courses, provide a solid background in the libc:ral arts and sciences." T he core curriculum was introduced at a time when the studenu' knowledge at Brooklyn College was becoming increasingly narrow and Jpecializecl, Wolfe explained. During the 1970s, the college bad been divided into seven schools; a division which, said Wolfe, lyn College core curriculum is that it lim· he core curriculum, Wolfe said, its the student"s intellectual freedom by "was built from scratch," instead of imposing a predetermined academic ' the traditional "Great Books model.

SNYDERMAN Reporter StaH he "UB Healthy" Campaign is sending a message that employees are at their best' when they are well and that UB is willing to help them become that way. "It's to raise the level of awareness about health, • said Rosalyn Wilkinson, manager of human resources development, who is coordinating the campaign. .. We want to assist supervisors in letting employees know what kinds of wellness programs are available on ca mpus." she said. Wil ki nson says her job is to "pull together groups that are doin g something related to wellness on campus, provide encouragement to them to do more, support them in the ways we can, and help publicize what they're doing. • Another function is to begin running health related programs directly. T coordinating their efforts, more topics can be covered instead of one subject being done repeatedly. The campaign is planning a gala health program smorgasbord in January. "The . kick-off is supposed to be a sam)llina of the proarams available. We11 be giving employees a taste - a snapshot a vignette" of various health-related lectures and activities on campus, Wilkinson said _ UB Healthy Week, as the kickoff event is being called, is planned for Jan: 17-21.

Th-ose noontime activities will take A t a recent organizationa1 meeting. representatives from many of the agencies involved discussed their goals for the campaign. These included University He'hltb Service, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the Professional Staff Senate, the Health and Safety Committee, the Smoking Committee, Life Workshops, and Public Safety, among others. "A lot of departments, indeed, do something,". Wilkinson explained. ~We don l want to minimizi what they are doing - just the opposite. We're trying to give them more publicity. • Much of that publicity will be provided by the EAP. Don Kreger, chairman of that program, said t hat plans are under way for paycheck inserts and calendtu#, among other items. "We have a prognunmin& and publicity committee within the EAP. Besides that, the !JB Healthy campaign will be soliciting ,fundin& to pay for parts of the program." Another &oal is to increase the efficiency of these propal!ll by eliminatina dupfi!:ation.

Wilkinson said the speaker · series would be a brown bag event, with the speaker making a presentation during lunchtime, primarily in the Human Resources Development Center, but also in o ther locations. The speakers, many of whom would likely come from within the University, would address a wide range of healthrelated concerns, Wilkinson said. John Grela, assistant director of Public Safety, expects the campaign to affect his department in two ways. The first bas to do with the health of Public Safety employees. "We want to get our personnel involved in a wellness proaram," be said. But he also expects Public Safety's educational proarams to benefit from the support the campaign will provide.

Daly said, "but they werc brave. They did what had to be done to save the world, and often what we need in life is a sense that what we are doing is worth the effort. " If you donl think that what you're doing is worthwhile, • Daly co ntinued, "then you just stop doina anything. There is barrenness, sterility, no passing on of culture from one generation to the next. • Once indifference sets in, be said, the human tendeney iS to become resigned to one's fate, to blindly follow rather than to question and investigate. S ee agreed, stating that in Th~ Lord oftM Rings, the root of all evil lies in a rin& which makes its bearer invisible and ultimately corrupts him the more he wears it. The wearer becomes subordinate to the ring's will. The message in _this metaphor, See said, is clear: "When you give over your own presence and yQur own identity and become invisible, that is when you are most vulnerable to any other will that wants to annex you and use you. You become co'nsumed . • And there is an appetite in th is life that wants to do that to you," See , continued, ..an appetite that wants to find you at your weakest and eat you up ... • Daly said that civilization and culture were fostered in Tolkien's novels not tbrou&h war, but throu&h "patient human inquiry and normal effort." The hobbits had values and held onto them, for example, and they had the cooperation of fellow Middle Earthers like elves and dwarfs, who shared those same values of Jlreserving their world. • T his value system is. worth studying in the materialistic '80s, Daly added, when many ptople are suffering the effects of anomie: the loss of norms and standards of behavior. "Tollrien showed us in these novels the process of the creation of culture (as seen in Middle Earth), and the idea that we're responsible for that culture, that life is much more worthwhile when there is somethina to be tried for," be said. Friendship is another force for good, See added. ·ne hobbit Frodo Baggins (nephew of Bilbo Baagins) is safest and strongest when be is h1mself and when he. bas t!lat bond with (fellow hobbit) Gatngee." \ 1Jltimately, the message of Tollrien's Middle Earth novels is in fact a wamina: one must be eteiliauy aware of danger and eternally committed to the preservation of life. •AlJ safety is limited in Tollrien's world," See said, •and that is what fmally aives these books their edge.

For Professon Fred See and Robert Daly, Tollden's novels arc the voice of his conscience of the worfd, and as • such arc worthy of carcf~l and involved study. • According·to See, Tollden was an immensely learned scholar "w)!o gathered so tr!UCh lore together that you coulll sort of TCView medieval and , English and Aoglo-Suon literature just by ~ing these novels. therefore, is Hitler, or an ancient Persian wizard gone bad, or any totalitarian dictator. The odious Ringwraiths are evil Wagnerian creatures, Nazi sto.rm troopen, or the Ku Klux Klan. . Sec, tben, believea that Tollden 's novels encomp&u uniwnal realities of war. He added that Tollden Viewed war as the frigbteninB prerade to wtwaoted cbabgc and lou. ·l:lis pq.e..molrinll. food-loving hobbits - in fac:t slauncb conservatives; they wisb to ...-rve the Shire and Middle l!arth tile as tbey know it. They fear 1M dcstruelion and radical transformatioatlaat Sauron seeks to instigate. Tbe hobbits, in fact, ;nircor Tolkien's own conservative leanings Sec said. · 1u a philologist and "Ct)=•loi:ist, added, Tolkien was by to the study of not future but past langu"• and culwre. That conservatism, Sec argues, "feeds into the .image of tbe Sbirc.~ - tbe .rustic country town that Bilbo BagiBS holds so dear in 1M Hobbil. Thus the fictitious Middle ~b .was not the only world thteate11ed, Sec noted. Tollr.ien Viewed £ogland itself as ·a fading realm, and the-ancient practice of storytelling and qooncction to one's past as practically dead; aly referred to To IIden 's 1M Silmari/H_or (begun in 1917 and C<Jmpleted in 1977) to illustrate this point. ln this novel, Tolkien writes of tbe ~alue cbaraclen plated on storytellinz, which as be put it, ~rekindle hearts 19 the valour or old in a world that grows chill." .r Daly added that Tolkien found comfort not only in bearing stones but in tdlin& them, fo, the 11Uthor's world bad indeed ~grown chill" 17Y tbe completion llf ~ rust two trilogy novels in 1954. Post. World War U Eagland lay in economic ruin, and P'e effect of war bad diiintegratesi nalional · ·pride and optimism. . This national sense of detachment wa mirrored in Tolkien's own condition, Daly continuid. Tollr.ien was an orphan and was not even born in England, tbe tand o( his ancestors, but in South Africa. • "Tolkien must have felt that be should have been born in England, tb~l be should have bad a mother and father to connect him to ~ome past, and lhat be should have )lad a cUlture way in which man represented the to appreciate," Daly said. "But be struggle between good and evil. His didn't, and so Ii& tales (Qf-tbe Shire novels are encyclopedic and synoptic." • and Middle Earth) were what CI!Jlobled Sec pointed out, as-one e><ample, · him. He could create his Pllll." T olkien 'a use of the ancient myth of War and destruction, unw&lliled King Arthur in the trilogy.

The fmd of !he JliltK$. Tollden's novels abo cod with lhJ bat then it tbe positive 1J11:1118C sense of loss. T1ie "Artliufian cycle,~ Tollden -ll)'iJI& to Sec said, is repeated "when tbe ~ heroes of the ~ withdraw into their communicate to l'llllllnt 8oCb spc;cial world and there is.a sense in pr<ifeaon aane4U. ebe nCMiaD which the light ~y does go out.

And how was 50mconc who w-..as t·omplctcl)' new to the area going to milke the needed changes ~ithout meeting the san~ f:uc as Savanorola, the archetypic.."ll "una nned prophd"? Fonunately, I w-.un't as much of a prophet as I thought I \\'aS. Many prople at the station. at thC' Uni,•ersity, and in the rommunity at large ~alized Lhat many of the changes needed to bt' made. Tl1ey offered t11eir suppon a nd a sistancc. So, in the past five months we havt' focusrd the st;u.ion's music and infom1ational programming. added progrnms which w~ feel will impro\'e WBFO's service to W underservrd audiences in this area. deleted some progro~m s. and bt-gan new fundraising initiati,·es. Along with hiring new staff members and nmning a successful fundmiscr. all of these changes made for a \'Cry turbulent final fi"e months of 1981! at WBFO. I can promise you thai. 1989 will not be as turbu lent. Changes and impro\'e{llenl will continue to be made. But the changes I fo resee are the "sweat the drtai1s" v-.uiet)', not the big changes v.oe made in the last ha lf of 1988. So. the changes that to ~ made now will be in the on· air presentation of music and information, with attention to pronunciation, delivery. and pacing. \ VBFO will improve the traruition from one program to anothc:r, so that they v.ill now c:ITonlessly from one to the other. At the same: time, l want to make bolh the station's mwsic and informational progr.~mming more compelling. All of these changes will be made to make · listening to WBFO a more e njoyal.rlc. informative, and rewarding. WBFO will also put marc dfon into its fundraising activities. Our funds from the state will be decreasing due to the budget crisis in Albany. Our funds from CPB will dther go down or remain the same, while our coslS for NPR program ~ I increa.K. So the station will have to r.:tisc more money on its ov.n. TI1is means more underwriting. morr corporate and foundation supon, and more oiT·air fundraising.

But a staff of fony or 50 paid and unpaid workers can only do so much. So. if 1989 is going to be the best in the station's history. WBFO will need the support of the Universiry and community more than cvc:r.

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

By ANN WHITCHER Reporter SlaH Reported clashes between residents of University Heights and UB fraternities have set some teeth on edge - and caused considerable embarrassment to the University. A member of the University Council has called the reports a "black eye" for UB. Most recently, Buffalo police arrested four UB students for illegally selling alcohol during a party at 123 Winspear. This was the second time in the last two months that Buffalo police have arrested UB students under State liquor laws. At 88 Minnesota, also the sub:. ject of neighbors' complaints, five students were charged about a month ago with violating the State alcohol beverage control laws , that is, with selling alcohol without a permit or a license in their home. ust how bad is the si tuation and what is U B's j urisdiction in the matter? Den ni s R . Bl ack. assoc iate vice provost for student se rvices, says offca mpus student life is "cont rolled by th e code of conduct and th e rules and regulations of the community. Any allegations of wrongdoing a re literally the business of that community... one of the .. norm al bodies" th at gove rn campus student conduct, he added. have jurisdiction off campus. Nevertheless. Black said ... the kinds of co nduct that have been a lleged ~ re the kinds of conduct that we wou ld not condone on or off campus ... As for complaints a bout 39 1 Highgate that were reported in the Buffalo N•ws. the Buffalo Police .. have not found cause to make any arrests, .. Black said. ·•Th i.'\ isn't to say that everything st udents a re J doing there a re th ings we 'rc pro ud of. But at this tim e there arc no violations of law (there) ... He added: .. The police have been called over 30 times (to 39 1 Highgate) and have fou nd no cause for arrest." In recent months, Black said. no a rrests have been made involvi ng the UB fraternit y houses. with the two exce ptio ns ci ted above. Black e mphasized that •<t here is no such th ing as a n officially sanctioned fraterni ty ho use in the University Heigh ts area. though clearly there are peo ple who are behaving as th ough there we re such."' Wh at is listed in the University Directory, he said , are merel y th e home addresses of Greek officers. Our photographer visited this .. quiet .. house party on Minnesota Ave. recently. lack explained that the so-called frate rnity houses involved only an agreemen t between a st udent or group of studen ts and the landlord. "They may be tell ing that property be used by their friends. who are members of the Gree k organizations. But the relationship is (still) a landlord-tenant one."

RUFF Aeponer Slafl D o fraternities and sororities serve as positive forces in the University as well as in the surrounding community? Or do these organizations harm more !han 1hcy help , violaling alcohol , noise, and ha z.i ng regulations, in addition to embarrassing the Univers it y? Th ese question s have been the focus of inten se d iscussion recently at UB, where a "dcbalc " was held las! monlh bel ween supporters and opponents of Greek o rgani zat ions before a standing-roomo nl y crowd o f more th an 800 at Woldman Theatre. Problems do exist within the G reek system at UB toda y. said alm ost all the fraternit y and sorority leaders. administrators. and s tudents who were inter- viewed by the Rep orler. ·-rm not here to say that Greeks are rah -rah wo nderful." commented Robert W . Henders o n, the Uni versity liaison for the Greek s. " I know that Greeks have pr o ble ms, and I want very much for· the Greeks to understand these pro blems a nd to work to impro ve them ... Mic hael f e rguso n o f Kappa Sigma addressed th ts 1ss uc in the debate. "We do n't need you (the anu-Greek s) to tell m what o ur pr o blems are .

Currentl y. approx imately 1.250 students are members of 3 1 chapl e" a1 UB. Henderson did not see this issue as pro blemalic. He no1ed !hal he has heard from only " one or two" individuals who wanted to join a Greek organization and were turned down . .. Almost all of the individua ls who wan t to become a part of Greek society can do so ... A more serious issue, Henderson opined, is the homogeneous nature of many fraternilies and sororities at UB. In some organizations, the members all come from simi lar ethnic, socioeconomic, and academic backgrounds. Many fraternities or sororities are entirely whi le or en1irely black, for example. "I know from some students that they don'- want to join a group because it is too representative of a very specific slice of people," Henderson said . "I lhink !hal leads to som e cri ticism of the Greek s. Eli t is m is a word that some people speak aboul. I don) know how !he Greeks can be 1o1ally free of !hal . "I make a very strong pi tch for them to be more broadly based . Their organizations will be stronger if t hey're more inclusive, .. Henderson added . SA Presidenl and Theta Chi member Bob Tahara disagreed wilh lhis assess· me nl. "If you look carefully, you11 find the groups a li ttle more diverse than you might a1 fir>l lhink." T he issue of hazing has also tarnished the reputation of Greek organiza... tions throughout the country. Several hazing deaths have occurred nationwide during the last several years, including one notable case at Rutgers last year. No! surprisingly, l!azing is illegal in New York and al UB. Neverthe less. some problems have occurred here , Henderson said. "One of !he real difficulties ... is th at Greeks and non-Greek s de fi ne hazing differently." Hazing , some have argued, is inhcren lly connecled wilh lhe syslem of p ledging. In pledging, the individual beGomes vu lnerable and prone to act in ways that he or she ordinarily would nol. "Hazing and some of the lhi ngs asso· cia ted with it have a function," Tahara said . "II ca n aclually make !he allegiance to an organization stronger." However, he added that m ost national fraternities have recognized that the dangers ou tweigh any benefils. One national fraternity has done away wilh !he pledge syslem emirely. Henderson noted. because it feels .. abuses d o creep in ... The University is prepared to take action should serious hazing violations occur, Henderson emphasized . Expulsion and withdrawing of recognit ion are possible penalties. A t the root of most of the current con troversy is alcohol, Henderso n insisted . Many of !he problems in !he Uni ve r- Opinions differed Widely and vociferously at the campus debate on the Greek system. At times the proceedings reminded one ol Morton Downey, Jr. "These questions have been the focus of intense discussion recently at UB, ere a 'debate' was held month between and opponents of reek organizations before a standing-room-only crewd of more than BOO at Woldman Thea tre.

These problems have made the front page of the Buffalo News. a nd were the lead story for local television news. ""There will be more (arrests) if the Greek s sponsor the same kind of par- ties." Henderso n said. .. It 's a time bomb waiting to go off. .. Maintaining that fratern ities were not solely responsible for these complaints. Tahara nevertheless emphasized the need for better commu nity relations . .. But let me ask th is: Arc (fraternity members) the only ones th at throw ho use panics? Isn't this scapc:goating?

Similarly, Henderso n comme nted that so me fraternities are ''changing their behavior." So me: panics have been cancelled while o thers have been moved to other locatio ns in an effort to improve communi ty relations. To Henderso n. the question is: Will these be permanent changes? While students have short memorie~. long-time University Heights residents do not. Henderso n said . "The things that Greeks do toda y will be remembered for ye.ars to come by their neighbors ,·· affecting students of the fut ure . t last month 's debate. one individual charged fraternit y members with committing a large number of campus rapes. According to sta tistics from the Anti-Rape Task Force. two-th ird s of all rapes o n campuses nationwide involve fraternity members. Currently. at U B. no rapes have been reponed this se!l'es ter , according to Public Safety. Alcohol contributes to th e alleged rape problem. said R. ac hacl Goldberg. a member of the Anti-Greek panel at the debate. "When yo u get 15 fraternity guys in a ho use with 'sisters.' it makes it a heck o f a lot easier for the guys to try to get away with doing someth ing , and especially when they're under the innuence of alcohol." Henderson acknowledged .t hat this problem exists. ..Yes, some women become intoxicated and, yes, the individdual who has drunk too much may be subject to such violence. .. When you use your li vi ng quarters as the site for a very lasgc pany, and you have men and women there and have great quantities of alcohol, you are putting a noose around your neck .. . and setting yourself up for tremendous risk. ... he warned. Especially dangerous arc the so-<:allcd .. little-sister.. programs. which some fraternities still have at U B. Said Henderson: .. We do not encourage the little sister program ... A reek panelists at the debate were quick to point ou t their positive activities. Terry Lindsay. of Phi Beta Sigma.

In addi tion. he ci ted Kappa Sig· rna's con tribut ion of the "Time Tracks" exhibit in the wa lkway between the SAC and Knox Lecture Hall. Funhcr. he said. so me _groups help at ncighbortmod libraries and community centers. Similarly. Hende rson ex tolled many of the Greeks" philanthropic and service activities. including the often-publicized Kids" Day news paper drive for Children 's Hospital. Yet. most s uch ac tivit ies are not publicized. "For the most part, they do not advenise for outsiders to come to the project. You don' do these projects in order to get a write-up. to get a gold star. You do these to help those who need it, .. said Henderson. There is criticism that fraternities perform these actions solely for public relation s appeal. But Henderson said such cri ticism is unjustified .... 1 see the Greeks doingQ:ttings that simil ar unorganized and umi!Tiliatcd groups of 20 to 30 don' see m to be doing ... reek organizations also impart man y social benefits to me mbers , said Tahara. " In a very large, major. almost top ten public research institution such as U 8 , the average person finds it very hard to have a place of his own." Small group identification, which Greek organizations provide, can greatly increase a perso n's sense of well-being, Tahara said . "It certainly opens a gateway to a social life." added Bill Slade. president of Tau Kappa Epsilon. In addition. small group iden tificati on aids in retention . Greeks are more likely to g radu ate than non-Greeks both at UB and else where . Tahara said. citing several studies. Both Tahara and Henderson stressed the leadersh ip development which Greek life can impart. Through work on committees fo r philanthropic and service projects, ind ividuals can assume leadership roles. He nderso n mentioned that so me studies showed that Greeks were more likel y to ass ume leadership roles in communities late r in life thun nonGreeks. G D espite the many complain ts against Greek life. the role of the University should be encouragement and education. according to some administrators. The granting and withdrawing of recognition is the o nl y other action that the University can take with fraternities. according to Robc:n Palmer, vice pro vost for student affairs. Henderson concurred . The University has no responsibility for what takes place off campus. des pite many perceptions to the"' contrary. But, said Palmer: .. 1 believe that we have responsibility to use whatever innuence and means we have at our disposal to rectify the situation .. .. We will continue to work with fraternities and sororities when incidents are brought to our attention ... To Tahara, cooperation and education seem to be the answers to solving so me of the problems in the Greek system. " I think they (the anti-Greets) arc bringing up points that have so mt validity, but their point that these problems justify the destruction of fraternities and so rorities is unwarranted ... Concluded Hend erso n: " I do se nse that the Greeks want to improve. It 's in the Greeks" hand s to improve and stay improved .'' CD Black maintained . however. that -no one ia denying that there is a problem ... For some time now. Black's office has been in viting members of the Buffalo Common Council and the University Heights Co mmunit y Associa tion. police office rs. students. and residents . to express their conce rns. This year , Black said . his office began a hoped-for se ries of meetings 1n a church basement in the University Heights district. also with councilmen. police, student s. and neighbors presen t . He explained: ''The leaders of the offcampus fraternities and so rorit ies were gathered together in a local church basement the night before classes began. to hear again of the Unive rsity's concerns with regard to neighborhood relations.·· The object here. Black said. was to alcn st udent s to the alcohol beverage co ntrol laws and to what Black calls ""the responsi bilities of good citizenship ... Similar mee tings ha ve taken place o n campus. a lso under the acsis of Black"s office. Additionally. Black and his team have met on three occasio ns with the Common Council's legislalion committee. during which time neig hbors. stud en ts. and police had a chance to ai r their views. Black said that when his office gets a complaint from a concerned resident. "we bring that (st udent) group in. ask them to respond. whether or not the law has been vio lated . It 's still a complaint. and it needs to be responded t o. .. This year"s program of Greek education. Black said, included a September sessio n on hazi ng. Upcoming sessions will deal with alcohol and substance abuse. and with discrimination. "Councilman Amos wants to establish better lines of communication between students and the neighbors." be it of a racial, sex ual. or religious ilk . Andy Moldovan. president of Sigma Phi Epsilon. three of whose members live at 391 Highga te. said the controversy "might pus h U B to build th e houses on Fraternity Row faster." Fraternity Row, a proposed development o n Sweet H o me Road for Greeks. is the ''only sol uti on" to the cu rrent problem, Moldovan stated . What Moldovan terms ap .. o ngoi ng war between University Heights students and residents" is due , in his view. to a clash between lifestyles . .. You have so me people who arc 80, compared to 20-ycarolds. This is a 60-ycar gap." Funher, he said, the panies have a ··reasonable cut-off (time)." and arc held much less frequently than some residents have charged ... We have panics on one night of the weekend, and it"s maybe every other weekend. Usually the pan y docsn' go past 2 a.m." The pattern. he said, is for students to frequent the fraternity house part y from 9 to 12 and then head to the bars from midnight to 4 a.m. M o ldova n said the reported brawl last month at 358 Minnesota " had nothing to do with the Greeks." He maintains that student s from an area high school were involved . Buffalo Police Officer Linda Manin is a liaison for commur;aity relati ons for the University Heights d b.trict. She emphasized that she does not answer calls, but rather fo ll ows up on specific neighborhood complaints. From Sept. I to Oct. 3 I. her resea rch revea ls that only one a rrest was made in University Heigh ts for this ki nd of disturba nce. It was a Halloween event. Martin said . Mo reover. "the officer didn't think it was a fraternity party. " In ge neral. Martin said. the fraternity panies generally were not loud. and if the y were . "officers were quickly able to quiet them down." A resident wh o has been the so urce of many of the complaints about 391 Highgate declined to be interviewed by telephone. Another re sident. who asked that her name not be used. lives across the street from o ne of the houses in question. According to this ind ividual, neighboring frat ernity members have volun teered to help elderly residents wit h thctr ya rd work . "They couldn't be more couneous o r helpful. I have nothing but the highest praise for th em ... Still. this resident could undersland that those living next door to fraternity houses might find "big parties .. a nuisance. Jose phine Patricola. 78. who lives next door to 88 Minneso ta , offered this view: .. As fa r as the boys who live next door. they arc good . really nice. boys. They have helped some of the elderly neighbors with cutting grass and washing the windows. They do a lot . This year. there were boys from ca mpu s who came to help. "A nd recentl y, a boy int rod uced himself from the fraternity and asked if there was anythi ng he co uld d o for me. He offered to clean th'e leaves in m' back ya rd . But I gave him the phon~ numbers of three (elderly) neighbors who needed so me "''ork done. Thev did a nice job."" . She added : "Of course. there arc the parttcs. They come by the hundreds. But if it's noisy. I call them. a nd they qu iet do wn ... The ig panics, she said. can cause a disturbance. "It's the big crowds tha t are bad fo r the neighborhood . ""The parties should end by II p.m .. and there should be street police (present). es pecia ll y o n Friday and Saturday nights ... Mrs. Patricola points to one ins tance where a neighbor's driveway was blocked during a fraternity party. There have been .. nasty" stud c..nt s in the past . she concluded. ''bu t I have a lot of res pect for th e boys who li ve next door (now)." or his part. Buffalo Councilman Archie Amos is trying to establish better communication among those affec ted. ""There's an ·us a nd they· sy ndro me , .. he said. "in which everyone is developing their own ste reotype ... In so me 20 of th ese cases Amos has dealt with during his three years in office. "all but two of them have met with resolution. We 've even gotten students involved in the block clubs. And. for the first time in years. we have more students help ing with the University Heights Community Center than ever before." Amos doesn't deny. though. that there asc "pro blem houses." where 200 or 300 students may s how up f?r a pany. "'As a former fireman, I can tell you that is a dangerous situation ... Meetings in which landlords have been apprised of fire a nd sanitation issues have usually been fruitful. he said. Amos plans to write to the SU Y Trustees aski ng them ...to get more involved." Hc"d like them to ex tend the Univcrsity's-jutisdiction, as much as is possi ble. perhaps by imposing academic sancti o ns where appropriate.

At-risk youth arc usually multiply at· W '"II skills as well as t~ the values so often associated with the ideals of a liberal education. We need independent. critical. and imaginative thinkers and doei'S to meet the challenges of tht 21st century. The ideals of a free and democratic people are given new urgency as one draws out the implications of the complicated and everchanging world into which we 3rt moving. Third. the tvolving world we arc seeing is an increasing1y technological world. It is a world dominattd by pacemakei'S and automated tcllen, by space shuttles and !asci'S, by computers and CAT-scans. In one sense the rapid advance of technology has cltarly resulted in the "dumbing down" of many occupations. Fast fond workers no longer need to know how to road or calculate. They just have to punch the appropriate picture on the a utomated cash register. ln another sense, the rapid rise of technology poses a mojor challenge to society, both in tcrrns of bow to undci'Slaod the uses and limits of technology and how to make certain that everyone benefits from the amazing power it brings.

Some have parole officers or are pan of the caseload of a social worker. Some need medical help and health and vocational counseling. All need to be known as whole persons rat he r than as isolated exa mples of different pathologies. Administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, health care professionals, will all have to work together in new and as yet uncharted ways within sc hools to address such problems . S choo ls must become computer a nd te chn ology nch environments if we arc to meet the cha llenges o f the 21st ce ntury. Teachers must be familiar with and co mmmcd to usmg a wide variet y o f tec hn o logi es. Such techno logies ca n a~~~~t 1n traditi onal instruction . and provide ''d istance learning'' for iso lated rural dastncts. and sim ulated laboratories and "real ilfc" experiences fo r th e yo uth nf to mo rrow. Such technologies may also pro vide entirel y new ways of thtnking ab out teaching as when comp uters can show the res ults of ~ci entific expe riments as th ey arc occurring. leading to a much deeper understanding o f the conce pts in vo lved . There are. however. maj o r questio ns as to whet her the power of technology in lcarntng will be equitabl y distribu ted and available to the poor as well as the rich . If it is not. we run the risk of widening the alread y substan tial class. race , and gender gaps we often find tn ed ucation . Standardized tests as currently used in education arc of limited valu~ . yet they arc ubiquit ous in their usc. The evide nce is absolutel y conclusive that the current crop of paper and pencil tests bears no rel ation to whether or not someone will be a good teac her. yet we usc them a ll the time. Fortunately, there arc indications of significant changes . The Educational Testing Service has just announced a major project to redesign its teacher testing program. moving away from paper and pencil exams and toward more interactive and performance-based assessment procedures. Even more importantly, the Carnegie Forum has established a Ocdgling National Board for Professio nal Teaching Standards. This Board is working on a system of vol untary certification for experienced teachers to identify the very best professionals in the field . The assessmen t procedures being developed by the board give promise of revolutionizing ou r ideas of how to determine what teachers know and are a ble to do. In a se nse, the new assessment must be made to work because the link between assessmen t and accountabili ty is likely to be strengthened. As teaching is professionalized and schools arc restructured, politicians and policy makers will cast a wary eye on whether the public is gelling the value it deserves for the autonomy and resources it grants. Hard 'questions will be asked regarding the outcomes of all this change. Thi: danger is that these questions will be answered with tests and assessment procedures inappropriate to the questions. If we are unable to develop the promiSed new assessments, we will be like doctors who can only test the health of our patients with so mething like a thermometer. We will not have the Xrays and blood tests and other assessment techniques we need for the job. ~nail~ . a~l of th is ac tivity has major tmphcauon s for those of us in graduate schoo ls of education in research universities. Not only must we reexamine and refonn our preparation programs for the teachers, administrators, counselors. and schools of the 21st century, we must also provide the research , development, and evaluation which will undergird these changes. As a major doctoral granting institution we will also be preparing the professors who will staff the colleges of education across the co •.mtry. Here at UB we are focusing our efforts on two areas - school reform and improvement and learning and technology. These broad foci are being addressed in a number of mo re specific ways. In the area of school reform and improvement we arc tryi ng to define the notion of a rencctive practitioner. Teachers. administ rators. counselors, sc hoo l psyc hologists, all must have a grasp of their field arSa::the motivation t o rcnect upon and improve it . More specifically. we are atte mpting to reach out in two direction s to help us give substance to the idea of rcncctive practice. First. we are strengthening our relation s with the Arts and Sciences. UB is a member of Project JO. a Carnegie-sponsored netwo rk of 30 insti tut ions across the country dedicated to reexamining and changing the role of the arts and sciences in teacher preparation . At Buffalo o ur core thru st is to constantly questi o n and reexamine the tradi ti onal ways in which we think about the disci plines and ho w we teach them. In this way we hope to inculcate the kind of inquiring mind which is characteristi c of the rcnective practitioner. . such environments during most of their _ lives. We hope to find out how to improve their capacities in this respect. Second, we will focus research and programmatic effons on the use of technology within more traditional instructional areas. We will be asking such questions as: To what extent can the compu ter imp rove the writing process? How ca n compu ter-based geometries (e.g .. LOGO) be used in elementary mathematics instruction? Can computer technology provide a mode of comm uni cation for severely handicapped youngsters? Can simulated laboratory instruction in science be provided through technology? Can computer netwo rks help break down the traditional isolation of classroom teachers and building administrators? These and si milar questions must b<" ad dressed if we are to meet the enormous chall enges to educati on in the 2 1st cen tury. Over the ne xt several years. we hope to bring these varying preparation and research programs togethe r around a com mo n vision of schools and education professionals working to ensure the learning of all children. The o ld bound aries between th e va rio us educatio nal professions will have to break down . Administrators must know more about instruction and renecti ve inqui ry. Tea~ hers must learn how to supervise and evaluate and set policy. Counselors and psyc hologists must understand and further the academic goals of schools. And all must reflect upon the ways in which schools fit into Second , we arc currently in th e process of involving practitioners with our new clinical faculty program . We F 1 e ('The schools must be willing to look at tf)e ways in which they fit into our society, our history, and our institutions. They must be able to change. will be ide ntifying up to eight ex pe rienced teachers in Buffalo and Williamsvi lle and asking them to join us as clinical faculty to help us think about and delive r our prepa ratio n programs. These clinical faculty will be involved in teaching as well as a va riety . of practical resea rch projects . The two cooperating districts are providing significant release time for these clinical faculty to complement the stipend they will recei ve from us. The function these experienced teachers will perform with us as clinical faculty is an initial exa mple of the new roles for teachers which are being de ve loped in the schools. I our society, our h is tory. and o ur n the area of learni ng and technology we will be pursuing at least two major goals. First. we hope to provide a computer-rich environment for prospective educational professio nal s during their pre paration programs. They will have to deal with 1 institutions. They must be willing a nd able to question and change when necessary the traditions of their profession. The challenges are great. The ri sks arc high. but the stakes are nothing less than the ability of our co untry to survive into the 21 st century . e The op1mons exp1essed 1n "VIewpoints' p1ecesarethose V lewQom[s _. :=. . . . : ~ollhe wn-tersand not-necessanty those of the Re porter We welcome yout comments Student periodicals: free press or fee press? UNY State guidelines require the Student Governme nt to put the issue of mandatory student fees to a vo te by the student bod y every four years in a referendum. The undergraduate referendum was conducted on this campus No v. 15-17. This referendum requirement presupposes a democratic envi ronment which permits a rigorous. unrestrained, unfettered excha nge of opposing views on the issue of mandatory student fees. This presumption is based on the notion that UNINFORMED consent is NO consent at all. S Viewpoints opposing the mandatory student fees were censored completely during the November referendum. This can be easily verified . Nowhere in the student funded press (Spectrum or Generation) is there a n 8£.1icle to be found which expresses oPposi tion to these fees. The Spectrum 's Nov . 14 issu:: devoted the entire front page (partially in red ink - at extra cost) to a plea for a yes vote on the issue. That issue also contained a lopsided inside story touting the need for mandatory student fees. The Nov. 14 issue also co ntained a staff editorial urging a yes vote. The Nov. 16 iss ue co nt ained another staff edi torial urging a yes vote·. Also on Nov. 9 and Nov. II. The Nov . 18 issue YES full page article urging a yes vo te to mandatory student fees. On the op posite page. as a substitute for the counterpoint. a full page article appeared opposing mandatory .. Athletic" student fees. This was in reference to the UB administration's attempt to collect fees se parately and independentl y apart from the Student Association. This is a se parate issue entire!)' th at is totall y irrelevant to the referendum that was being presented to the student body. On Nov. 8 the Generation ran a staff edito rial urging a yes vote for th e mandatory student fee . N contai ned a .. Student View" section which presented to three stude nts the question ... Are you in favor of the mandatory student fee?" This bogus surrogate for random sampling produced three yes responses. The Nov. 15 issue of the Generation contained a ot one single opposing view appeared in any of the st udent funded press publications. That is a determinate fact. As a representative of stud ents who oppose th e malfeasance of their mandatory fees. I submilled a leller to the Spectrum opposing the mandatory fee. for .publication in the Nov. 16 issue. Gerry Weiss, the editorin-chief. refused to print the article · because as he told me, he disagreed with the content of the ~ He said ·--..... �D-.nber 1,1988 Volume 20, No. 13 FREE PRESS? he was not obliged to print views he thought were miotaken. When I questioned the eth ics of his reasoning, he replied that he was not ethically obliged to point a loaded gun at his head and pull the trigger, i.e., he was not required to act against the interests of the newspaper (referring to its dependence on the student fees). He further argued that if he printed the article he seriously feared that Bob Tahara. the SA president. would take retributive action against the newspaper. Brent Strickland . the managing edilor who w~ present during this conversation. stated <>emphatically his belief th at my article SHO ULD be published . Weiss asked me to appn:ciatc the fact that he was being honest and straightforward with me. He pointed out that he co uld have :,imply refused to publish my anicle on the fictitious grounds that it was !!.Ubmi tt cd too late. or that there was no roo m left in the issue, but instead. he wan ted to hit th1 s issue head-on . truthfullv. Wclco;,c. to the FREE PRESS Sou th American style. Wei ss admitted to me that he knew of no article that was printed which expressed opposition to the mandatory stude nt fees . No one need s to ask why this is true. The hallmark of tyranny is its suffocation of free expression by contumacious editors who. oblivious to the ethical implications of contentscree ning. become imperious censors charged with the notion of sanit izing ideas by militating against .. incorrect" beliefs. Ironicall y, last spring the Speclrum editor engaged in a grandiloquent display with a pontificating diatribe about the vinues of free speech. as he criticized the UB Law School for a Faculty Statement which he admittedly NEVER read . The Spec1rum apparently has a very elastic notion of the concept of censorship. Disingenuous platitudes and hollow shibboleth s will never manifest themselves as vanguards of free speech. The student press on this campus has jeuisoned the ethical component of its responsibilities for the functional expediency of protecting its own perpetuity. Its Machiavellian convictions that the ends justify the means demonstrate that it is unworthy of the full faith and trust of this student body as recipients of mandatory student fees. I described this situation to K'iorl Weir, o ne of Tabara's henchmen and chair of the Elections and Credentials Committee. while he manned one of the referendum voting booths. His response was, "h"s HIS (Weiss) newspaper. H e can reject whatever he chooses. It's his discretion. " Cont rary to these cretin notions that the newspaper is the editor's personal property which he can manipulate as he sees lit, the Sputrum belongs to the student body of this school. It is funded in major pan by their mandatory student fees, as is evidenced by its overzealous effort to protect those fees .. The Supreme Court has been unequivocal in its repeated holdings that content-based saoctions of speech by the press violate the Equal Protection Clause and the Free Speech • Clause of our Constitution. The meretricious not.ioru harbored by Weiss and Weir represent flagrant , callous disregard for and indifference to the sanctity of those fundamental rights. I believe that the people we entrust with important political and journalistic decisions should be required to take a rudimentary course in Constituti onal law so they are not a this o blivious to the basic principles of human rights; so they are not so bereft of any ethical sensibilities about the value of these rights. They clearly need to realize that these rights are not expendable for so me expediency. no matter how worthy. Free Speech principles require the press to give free play to both sides of an iss ue.

"What we're asking is that people take into account the energy .d ilemma the University is faced with and dress appropriately: by putting on an extra sweater or coming to school dressed a little warmer, we feel that 68 can be conifonable," Simpson said. If the temperature in an office or classroom is consistently below 68, the Physical Plant should be notified , said Simpson. Those on the Amherst Campus sho uld call 636-2205. The numbers for Ridge Lea and the Main Street Campus ""'636-2025 and 831-3701, respectively. In most insta;;ces, the 55-<leS"'C weekend and nighttime level will probably not be ~"<'ached .

However, lnnus acknowledged that "d urin g Christm as vacation, on an extended weekend, and during a cold snap, it might get down to 55." lnnu s said that temperatures in s ma ller build ings. such as the a nnexes o n the Main Street Campus, would be m" re likely to d rop that low th an wou ld be the B ecause the University wishes to maintain the constant temperature, a general ban on s pace heaters is in effect.

In those ins tances where we cannot maintain 68 during the regular wo rking day, we will authorize the use of ponable heaters," lnnus said .

"They'~"<' all set up so is a warm-up cycle and they should be mol"<' or less at temperatuf<' by the time of class," Simpson explained. the~"<' R educing the temperat= in the winter is only one method that UB is employing to save on its energy bills, Simpso n said. "We've for years had an active energy conservation program. The primary thrust of the program has been to take building heating and lighting systems and make them more efficient. "The end f<'SUlt would be that we would save on utility costs, 'while the people using campus facilities would not detect any change in services provided ," Simpson said. "We did things be hind the scenes and with little impact on comfo rt .... He said these conservation measures will continue alongside the temperature cutbacks.

According t o Simpson, the University s hould make energy conservation features a priority in any new construction. " I'm generally concerned whether new buildings will be state-of-the-an energy , efficient. Perhaps, to invest a co uple of extra miHiornlpllars in the first cost of a building will s.We ten or twenty million dollars over the lifespan of the building.

Given budge t restrai nts, I can und ersta nd th e tight bind the Universi ty usually find s itself in when mak ing these decisions," he noted . But Simpson said that si nce the energy-saving eleme nts of the building pay fo r themselves, they should be incl uded. " It should be a given that the building will be maximally efficient," he said. I nnus said he didn't think those kinds of tradeoffs happen often but on occasion, they might occur. " I wo uldn' be surprised if from tlme to time, individual decisions were made based on a costbenefit analysis . .. One of the methods rhe Universily is using to cut down hea ting costs in new build ings is switchi ng fuels, lnnus noted. .. We are now in the planning stages of the Natural Sciences a nd Mathematics Complex. We are in the process of reviewi ng -what kinds of heat recove ry systems and what kinds of HVAC (heating, ventilation, air cond itioning) systems we might design and inco rporate ... Inn us said that most of the new build· ings will probably use gas, in place o f electricity, to run their heaters. At th is point, gas is less expensive than electricity. When the Amherst Campus was built, the des igne rs thought that electricity wou ld be the cheaper heating meth od . As a result , most of the buildings in Amherst are heated electrically. That assumption has been proved to be inco rrect, Innus said. Both lnnus and Simpson asked for cooperation in enforcing the policy. Commented Simpson : " We would appreciate it if people throughout the Universit y o n both campuses would help us implement the 68-<legree temperature policy by reporting instances of ove rheating a nd of co urse by refraining from using s pace heaters to ci rcumve nt the po licy." 0 Social Work receives full accreditation for seven years he School of Social Work has been a warded full accreditation for the next seve n years by the nat ional Council on Social Work Education.

By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporte r SIJJ II nee upon a time, a poor, not so young woman, sat facing a spinning wheel in a chamber filled with straw. There may have been a few strands of gold glimmering in the straw on the reel before her, although it was hard to tell in the dim light provided by the one ·small window set high up in the stone wall. One day, as she was sitting before her wheel, staring bleakly at the bales of straw stacked up to the ceiling, a knock sounde4:!!_t the· door: "Come in," she whispered in a voice grown weak from lack of use. J It was her father, the miller, much older and grayer since the last time she had seen him. With a stout cane upon which he leaned heavily in one hand and the classified section of the paper in the other hand, he spoke: • "I think it's time, daughter, that you started to think about a more practical career. The job market for spinning gold from straw just isn't that promising. "Besides," he added, "the king married somebody else five years ago. " h . , . ~. ing a Ph.D. is a bit easier than spinning gold fro m stra w. the: process also see ms to drive a rather large number of American graduate students to scann ing the classifieds. According to Peter Syverson of the Council o f Graduate S chool s in Washington. D.C., about 50 per cent of the students admitted to doctoral program s across the country each year eventually leave those programs without completing the requirements for a Ph.D. That figure, Syverson stipulated, .. of course varies drarnalically across institutions and departments." Wh)"do people fai l to finish? Syver.;on suggested three situations that may cause them to drop out. The first of these was that the student is intellectuaJiy or academically unprepared to do graduate work. The second is what he calls .. the bad fit. It 's the wrong program for the student or the wrong institution ... And the third is, of . course, " money prpblems ... f While the first situation occasionally occurs, Syverson said the second is more likely. An English student may switch to law because he or she finds the study of literature to be too esoteric or financially unrewarding. A law student decides to do what be or she wanted to do aU along - study history. Or perhaps the problem lies not in the subject matter being studied, but the faculty who teach it. //..~~ ~Anrlsome· times the student finds that he or she has inteiJectuaJ or creative needs that simply cannot be met in academia. Paul Hogan is a Buffalo poet who studied under the Gray Chair in UB's Graduate English Departmen.t before he. withdrew from the Dr. Orville Beachley: Only a fe w la il 10 linish in Che mislry. program in 1986. He left the program because his ..grip on the creative work was slipping. "I wasn 't willing to 're-prioritize,' to put the creative writing second. And it 's really difficult to maintain both creative and critical stances, to make the genuOections in both directions ... Another, more typical factor that influenced Hogan 's decision to leave the doctoral program was his lack of certainty that" the Ph.D was worth the effon. "It's bleak for English people," he said. .. Looking down the road , I saw myself applying to every school on eanh and then ending up with four sections of (English) composition. It takes maoy ~e~or a Ph.D. to pay off." In the humanities a nd socia l sciences, where the financial reward for completing a doctorate is not guaranteed and relatively low (compared to that which can be obtained in field s like engineering), money, as Syverson suggested , often becomes a problem. It is especiaUy a problem in the later years of graduate work as the student sinks furth er and further into debt, as the term of an assistantship or fellowship runs out, as bi bies are born and financial responsibilities are incurred. ..It becomes a question of whether it's worth it, .. said history graduate student and Graduate Student Association president Paul Rode!. ..

Senate debates ethics of free texts; courtesy cars By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Publications Staff thical issues surrounding the sale of complimentary copies of textbooks and the use of courtesy cars were discussed by the Faculty Senate.)ast wee)<. The group passed a resolution calling it unethical for faculty members to sell complimentary copies of textbook s supplied by publishers for evaluation. The vote was 27 for and 18 against, with nine abstentions. E Several faculty members asked what you or~ supposed to do with these books. Jerome B. Keister, associate professor of chemistry, said that his department eas· ily gets live freshman texts per faculty member every year, even when there are no plans to change the text. / Freshmen don't want a tex~s not used in class and the library·s slielves would,_ soon be full if the texts were donated, he noted. They could be sent back to the publisher if the publisher pays postage, bu1.Keister said he resents even having to pack up a book he didn "t ask fo r. "If I plan to adopt a text, I 11 wrile to them. ·· he said. William E. McGrath, associate professor of the School of Information and Library Studies, said not all copies are clearly identified as complimentary copies not intended for resale. Raymond Hunt, professor and chairman of Organization and Hum an Resources, said he heard that some book merchants want to petition the Faculty Senate for a hearing on the matter. T he iss ue of selling complimentary texts and the Athletics Department"s use of cars donated by dealerships are tied together, said George Hochfictd, professo r of English. Hoch!ield proposed a resolution that says that no faculty or staff should solicit or accept the usc of courtesy cars. There's a quid pro quo involved , Hochlield said. The dealer gets his name on the scoreboard and in the game pro- · gram and hopes that alumni might buy a car from him in the future. • Since U B started moving toward Division l athletics, "we've been told repeatedly that we11 follow the example of Ivy League schoOls," Hochfield said . But at Cornell, he explained . the athletic department leases cars and during the summer the individuals who use them pay th e leases themselves. Hoch!ield said he didn'l know if this was common practice at all Ivy League schools. The incentive for the dealer to donate the use of the cars is publicity, said Charles Stinger. professor of history. The dealer believes it will increase sales and the University is helping thai business. "I believe that"s sleazy, frankly," Stinger said. In medicine, there's a real ethical problem with drug companies that are trying to push a new drug, said Boris Albini, professor of microbiology. The company will organize a convocation for you and the pressure is on to ftnd this drug useful. "We're hen: to find the scholarly truth and we should try to liberate ourselves from the pressures that money and business bring," he said. "Pharmacy couldn l go on without donations from pharmaceutical companies."' said Frances Schneider, clinical associate professor of pharmacy. But the faculty members say up front that the donations wonl bias them. If not for th<se donations, UB would have to depend completely on State support, Schneider pointed out. Similar sentiments were expressed abou t dentistry and medicine. It seems foolish to single oul athletics for accepting donations when this practice goes on in other a reas of the Universi ty, noted one se nator. He pointed out that music sto res make donations to support concerts and get their names in programs, hoping to drum up business. The University should be more con· cerned about the appropriate use of donations, said Edward Jenkins, associate professor of learning and instruction. A vote on the Hochlield tcsolulion has been scheduled for Ihe next Senate meeting. Dec. 13. I n o'her business: • The Faculty Sena1e approved a document thai de1ails the way degree programs may be disbanded. spelling the end of a saga, noted John Boot , chairman of the Faculty Scnale. Thejl.d ocument details the kind of con· "Senators urged affirmative action gains be protected during fiscal crisis." sultation that must take place before a program is deactivated or discontinued and ensures that faculty, staff, and students will be heard throughout the decision-making process. Then: was tittle discussio n at the Faculty Senate meeting about the document. Its movers noted that the document has been discussed thoroughly in the Faculty Senate Executive Committ'e<: and in the provost's office. and said the document stands on its own. Boot, however, took the opportunity to speak against what he sees as a mistake that has been escalated into a lie. Boot is an outspoken critic of the administration "s handling of the deactivation of the Statistics Department a nd bas helped keep the controversy on center stage for nearly two years. Boot argued that guidelines did exist in March, 1987, when the deactivation of 1he Statistics Department began, but thatlhc administration disregarded these rules. When confronted, the administrati on claimed there were no rules, he said. "And so a mistake of not foll~wing proper procedure has become a clear-<:ut tic. a Iota! fantasy talc, belied by all the evidence at hand," Boot said. "And that is the ultimate mistake of this sorry talc: That one fears to make a mistake and engages in di shonesty to avoid having to admit to a mistake is the worst mistake of all." • The Faculty Senate urged the SUNY chancellor and UB president to ensure that affirmative action gains will be protected during the current fiscal challenge facing the State. • President Steven Samp!c announced that details an: being worked out on an experiment wherein the SUNY Research Foundation will give the UB Foundation more authority to adminisier granu and contracts on the campus level. UB wiU look more like a self«>ntained university with regard to grantS and contracts, be said . • The Faculty Senate approved academic calendars for 1989-90, 1990-91, and 1991 -92. 4D �December 1,1988 Volume 20, No. 13 I ,Meet The Senate Ch a1r Ed itor's Note: Ballots are now out for a successor to Faculty Senate Chair John Boot who will complete his two-year term June 30, 1989. Nominees for the post are Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics, Will iam Miller of Dentistry, and Marek Zaleski of Microbiology. "It's because I feel so ambivalent about the way that John Boot has conducted himself that I am running. He has unnecessarily antagonized administrators." Nicolas Goodman or icolas Goodman. associa te professor 3nd associa te chairman of Mathematics, the so mewhat controversial te nure of Faculty Senate Chair J o hn Boot has spu rred his own candidacy. "It 's because I feel so intensely ambivalent abo ut th e way th at John has conducted himself. th at I am running.·· Boot ''has been very effective in making the senate more visi ble. and in making people more enthusiastic about the senate," said Goodman. ''He has vigorously made many excellent points and has conducted stimulating meetings. "'But I feel th at he has unnecessarily antagonized the administration. .He has not been sufficie ntly careful to maintain that cooperative relationship between the se nate and the administration wi1houl which our deliberalions become mere post uring ... Goodman also criticized Boot for not paying ""proper attention to the effectiveness of the senate committee structure. forgetting that that is where most of the work of the senate ought to be done." Immediate Past Chair Claude Welch. said Goodman. "did a fine job as a liaison with the administ ration and kep t the committees running smoothly. But he was a little too unwilling to criticize th e· administration. I'd like to see someont: run the senate in an intermediate way." F But Goodman, a native of Berlin who holds Ph.D . and M.S. degrees from Stanford. has other reasons for seeking the job. In his view, UB has developed impressively over the last few years, but shows "certain unfortunate imbalances." He explained :" "We have a splendid honors program and @re de veloping a marvelous world civilization course. Many of our undergraduates, however, must take required courses in huge impersonal lectures graded on the basis of com put er-scored multiple choice examinations. "'Many must even t ake required cou rses at nigh t in Millard Fillmore <;:ollege with instructors, who, with some exceptions, are not as well qualified as our regul ar faculty." Also problematic, said Goodman, are graduate programs in dep art ments, "which, despite their strength, are unable to offer large enough assistantships to attract the best graduate students. We have or are building research centers of national and international visi bility, but we are doing almost irremediable damage to our · fun.damental scholarl y resource - the library." What is happening to the libraries, Goodman contended, "is a disaster. Damage is being done that will" be extremely dangerpw to the University." Steven Sample is, "on balance, a fine president," Goodman slated. "But while the libraries arc really starved, we've put a great deal of money - NICOLAS GOODMAN A "One. facet of our search for greatness which is suffering is the library system. We and our students need these books and journals for study and research." - into the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research , the Center for Superconductivity, etc. It is really not clear what they are doing for the overall quality of the University. " It may be that these two developmen ts are connected, in that monies that could be used to maintain essential journal subscriptiOns are instead being used to fund so me of the scientific centers." In Goodman's view, there haS been too much emphasis on the dollar amount of outside sponsorship "almost to the exclusion of all other measures of research excellence." The University is, in effect, telling junior faculty that in order to get tenure, "the bigger the grant the better." This, said Goodman, "is not a worthy goal to put in front of our young scholars. •• Goodman would like lo see "a more subtle and sophisticated evalualion" of scholarly excellence here. ;--...... WILLIAM A. MILLER 1 graduate stand ards will have on attrition and what effect such attrition will have on the financial health of the University. " We have discussed the leadership and organization of the Graduate School, but not how and by whom our graduate students will be taught to teach. We have cheered on the development of great interdisciplinary centers, but have not discussed enough what effect the diversion of resources from the depa rtments to these centers will have on the longterm strength of the University." In seeking the chairmanship, Goodman cites his many years of administrative experience in the Math Department and his time in the senate. A member of the UB faculty si nce 1969. be has served often as a senator and served on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee in 1987-88. Goodman's writings have appeared in Other issues: "We have discussed the ~h periodicals as Journal of Symbolic details of the organization and program Logic and Th~ Notre DtJme Journal of of the Undergraduate College at great Formal Logic;. He was the recipient last year of a NSF research grant entitled length, but have not discussed at equal length what effect the raising of under- . "Semantics of Mathematical Language." William A. Miller s U B continues to strive for nat ion.al recognition, the role of faculty will be of " prime importance," says William A. Miller. professor of stomatology in the School of Dental Medicine and a candidate for senate chair. The genial native of Croydon, England , noted that the University is receiving increasing amou nts of research dollars. even as the State faces a fiscal crisis. "One facet of o ur search for 'greatness,' which is suffering from this si tuation, is the University library system. I will not expound o n the right or wrong of any philoso phy o ther than to say that co mputer cataloging (and even usage at the presen t time ) is an adjunct to journals and books. not a su bstitute. .. However. faculty input must be paramount. We and our stud ents use these books and journals for stud y and research - not the admi nistration. It is our research that will suffer from an inlldeq uatc library system." When one visi ts a great university and sees its library, Miller said , "it is the book and journal collection which impresses.... " If we wish to be a lTPR U (top ten public research universit y), we must have in put from a lTPRU library system. Without it we fail." Miller has proposed a University-wide library committee· that would have faculty, staff, and stud ent members. as does the .Public Safety Committee, on which he now serves. "Another iss ue that I would like to see coming to closure i that of how the Uni: versity handles allegations of scientific fraud. Recommendations have been made via a se nate committee, but so far no public policy has been announced . T he NIH and the NSF as well as the U.S. Congress all s how recent concern that nothing is really happening in our universities. · " If there is no visible action. (a) process will be imposed from above. We are told 'old boy damage control" is no longer to be tolerated." Miller described himself as an "active and involved' faculty member, with a wide range of inte rests. " I have taught not only in the School of Dental Medi'cine, my 'home,• at professional and graduate levels, but also in the Department of Anthropology, as adjunct pro- . · fessor, and in the Department of Geology." A Miller has also been active in the Environmental Studies Center, and served on the Council of the Organization of Principal Investigators for six years. Currently, he is the principal investigator of a $2.5 million NIH contract. Miller believes that "as a faculty involved in teaching and research at a lTPRU, we should expect excellent lecture halls, good audiovisual equipment, and excellent graphic facilities. These · need further improvement and accessibility, certainly on the Main Street Campus. This concern I also · intend to pursue." Adpitionally, Miller · would like to determine more "precisely the relationship between the .G..,.uate School and the Faculty Senate, the ties between the Undergraduate.

He added: "John Boor is probably co rrect in his assessment of the Graduate School issue, (bur) ir is perceived as a perso nal hosrility roward Don Rennie and this has clouded an importam issue rhar sri II has ro be disc ussed." In short , Miller finds Boor's sryle overly confronrarional, !hough he has "greal respecl" for rhe oulgoing chair. His own sryle would be milder, wilh I he se nale servi ng as "the focus of faculty discussion and concerns:' Miller also welco mes the willingness of President Sample and Provosl William Greiner to frankly d iscuss their views wirh the fac ulry.

"Bur if !here are no ideals," said this professor of microbiology, "what's rhe purpose?" . Zaleski, a narive of Poland who has taught ar UB since 1969, believes tharthe Univer~ty is a democracy governed by its faculty. He explained : "The faculty wilh its reaching responsibililies, scholarly pursuits, scientific research, and creative activities is the essence of the University. ..The administration, with its organizarional skills and conlrol of financial resources, represents<the enabling factor that should serve the facuhy. Regretfully, this order more often than not is inverted by su bjective misperceptions and the deeds conditioned by them." In Zaleski's view, faculty "should have an independent existence, self-governance, and significant control over their enabling forces." He added: "The raison d'etre and the power of the administration should be determined by and derived from the needs of faculty and not vice versa. "Too often, the administration perceives its power as absolute and equates it with knowledge. As a consequence, the administration sWitches roles with faculty, and instead of serving as an enabliqg force for faculty, it assumes that it is faculty who should serve as an enabling force for the administration. A democratic system is changed to a corporate one." M "Too often administrators, instead of serving faculty, assume that it is the faculty who should serve as an enabling force for them .. ..

In Zaleski's view, the se nate should co ncent ra te on issues th at are of prime importance. "What is th e missio n of the University? How do we accomplish it?

Zaleski has never served on the se nate but was urged by colleagues to run for se nate chair. By way of qualifications, he cited his experience in running the Microbiology Departmenl's IFR account for four years. his administrative experience in Poland, and his service on the Faculty Council of the Medical Schoof.

The new rates will affec t both those cove red by HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans and the Empire Plan . Howeve r, the increase will appear grea ter to th ose covered by one .of the three HMO plans - Community Blue. Health Care Plan. and Independent Health Associa tion - available to UB employees. For example. the biweekly payroll deduction for a UB professor enrolled in the Independent Health Association Plan with ind ivid ual coverage will increase from S.OO to $3.77. With family coverage, the deduction will increase S.OO to S20.50. In contrast, the increase in the amount deducted from each paycheck for a professor en rolled in the Empire Plan will be much smaller: $.80 (from $5.39 to $6.19) for individual coverage and S3. 10 (from S23.49 to S26.59) for famil y coverage. However, as the preceding ligures also show. the base amount paid by the employee for insurance under the Empire Plan is higher to begin with than that paid under an HMO plan. R T he cost of the Empire Plan is hi gher because it pro vides the e mployee with mo re options . For instance, while a person enrolled in an HMO pla n must use the services of participating doctors and specialists to receive full coverage, th e Empire Plan allows the enro llee to choose his o r her own doctor. Previo usly. the State of New York contributed to HMO coverage for its employees up to the dollar amount it would have contributed for coverage ir. the Empire Plan. In effect. the State provided I00 per cent of H M 0 coverage. "Unfort un ately," said Jane Kubala, assistant manager of benefi ts in UB's Perso nn el Depa rtment , .. the State can no longer afford to pay 100 per cen t of hea lth insurance coverage for its employees." Under the new policy. the State will cover 90 per cent of the co!a of an individual HMO contrac t and ·75 per cent toward the cost of a family contract, the same percentage it covers for individual and family contracts under the Empire Plan. a lso stated that a number of factors have ' ncrcased the base cost of medical care and thus contributed to this escalation. Among these fact o rs are the risi ng cost of hospitalization and " new equipment and procedures that arc incredibly expensive. " In addition, doctors are performing more diagnostic tests than ever before out of the fear of being sued . NOTICE: HEALTH PLAN OPTION TRANSFER PERIOD EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15, 1988 A ccording to Lois Uttley, director of public information for the State Department of Civil Service, (which administers the State Health Program), private employers also are forcing employees to share a greater percentge of health care costs. Figures cited by Marcia La Bruna, se nior clerk in employee relations at Union Carbide, attest to this. Accordi ng to,___Lra Bruna, the cost to the Union drrliide employee for family coverage under Independent Health (an HMO plan) will increase from $20.19 to $53.36 per paycheck starting in January. The increase in cost for employees with family cove ra ge under the Union Carbide Comprehensive Plan will be lowe r - from $32.13 to $38.97 pe r paycheck, but "still significant:· Audrey Gowanlock, supervi sor of benefit s i n the compensation and benefits department of Fisher-Price. said the shifting of a greater percentage of the cost of health insurance to th e employee is a way of dealing with the escalating cost of medical insurance. She Another factor contributing to the inc re ased cost of medical insurance is out-patient care, a Program that was originally instituted to save hospitalization ·costs. The problem, said Gowanlock, is "that more people are going for surgery (and other procedures) than was ever anticipated now that they know they won' need to stay in .lhe hospital. " In addition to s'hifting a greater percentage of the burden of medical insurance costs to the employee, Gowanlock said employers are trying : to teach people to be better consumers of medical care.·· 0 ne didactic tool that will be used by the State of New York to instruct its employees .. to be better cons umers .. is the requirement of "copay ments . " Enrollees in the Empire Plan , for instance, will be required to pay S5 to S8 for each visit to the doctor's office. This will serve as .. a reminder, .. said Uttley, "for people to be wiser consumers and help us hold down costs. "We are calling upon employees as our partners ... she continued, "to keep down the expe nse of health care. When people are told they need •urgery, we would like them to ask, 'is this necessary?" and to get a second medical opinion before going ahead with the operation." Uttley said the rate increase for the Empire Plan ranged from 13 to 17 per cent. This is "significantly lower than the rate increase of 30 to 50 per cent announced by nationt~l insurance plans. "We're very pleased," she concluded, "to hold the rate increase of the Empire Plan to less than 20 per cent." H owever, according to Kathleen Berchou, president of. the Civil Service Employees Association at U B, Western New York employees are going to be more affected by the rate increase of HMO plans, an increase which is significantly higher than 20· per cent. "More of our population in this part of the State is using HMOs because they are less expensive. "People were surprised to hear that the HMO rates were goi ng to go up so much," Berchou continued. Yet, "we all know medical insurance rates are sky high." In view of this fact , she concluded that protesting the rate increase " would be like lighting City Hall."

"Take a few d~ep breaths before you get the exam, to relax , .. she con tinued. "Another good idea is to take a good look at the exam before you start, and get an idea of how you will allocate your time. For example, if the re are three parts and three hours , it can be divided into about an hour for each part." Time is of the essence when taking a final. " Don' waste too much time on one question.

Weekly Calendar Editor JEAN SHRADER Associate Art Director REBECCA FARNHAM �December 1, 1988 Volume 20, No. 13 US water quality good·, CDC researcher indic,tes UBriefs By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Nolan reappointed chair of Medicine Publications Staff H ow about some good news for a change? The .water we drink in this country generally is good, said Anita Highsmith, Ph.D. Highsmith, research microbiologist at · the Centers for Disease Control, was in town recently to address the Western New York Chapter of the American Society for Microbiology at a meeting in Goodyear Hall. " What I have found working on Lhe comm unit y, local, state, and federal levels is that our water quality is really govd," she said. We've established standards for safe water and are meeting, if not exceeding, th ose standards. Homes usi ng municipal water generally don~ need added filtration systems. You may even be beuer ofT without some that are on the market, Highsmith noted. Many systems that fit on the faucet use carbon, which actually provides a breeding ground for bacteria. I t's the job of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate .. drinking water while the CDC is interested in disease . Water-borne diseases arc on the decline, she said. When there is an outbreak of disease in a public swimming pool or whirlpool, it's usually due to poor maintenance. such as using too liule chlorine. Once there is a problem. it's up to Highsmi th's office to find o ut everything they can about the offending organism in case another outbreak occurs. For instance, they know that you're more likely to become ill from pseudomonas aeruginosa, a disease-causing organism that can grow in whir[pools, if you s~ay in longer Lhan 30 minutes. Women are at higher risk than men (possibly because women wear Lightly-filling bathing suits), and women who wear one-piece bathing suits are at higher risk than those who wear two-piece suits. They also know that pseudomonas aeruginosa likes the cool environment in and around ice makers, so on the flight to Buffalo, Highsmith declined to drink a beverage that was chilled with an ice cube. "I chose not to ingest water that probably wasn~ contaminated, but could be," she said. T bough lap water is clean enough for drinking, (\athing, and laundry, Wdler for some special purposes must be purer, Highsmith said. High-purit y water is required in some research labs and in some areas of hospitals, such as eritical..:are areas or dialysis units. How the water is used determines Lhe kinds of impuritie$, such as microorganisms· or minerals, that m~ removed. It's important to recognize Lhal water technology has advanced tremendously over the last five to seven years, she said. The type of treatment used to purify water. the materials used in that treatment, and our understanding of how to monitor water quality have all impro ved. There's new technology to measure impurities th at we we ren't able to measure a few years ago, and new equipmenc is coming out to remove those impurities. These advances are allowing national committees, such as th e National CommiHec for Clinical Laboratory Standards, to continually raise standards on water quality, Highsmith said . CD T~ree men spending 14 days in UB 'dry dive' By ARTHUR PAGE News Bureau StaH hree men are spending 14 days in a pressu ri zed chamber sim ulating condi tions found 50 feet underwater as part of a UB study aimed at developi ng guidelines to help diver> avoid decomJlression sickness, also known as "the bends." The three entered the chamber at the School of Medici ne and Biomedical Sciences Monday, Nov. 28, and will remain there until Monday, Dec. 12, as part of the second phase of a study funded by the New York Sea Grant Inst itute. Claes E.G. Lundgren, M.D., Ph.D., professor of physiology, who is directing the study, noted that three other researchers spent eight days in Lhe chamber in April during the school's first ...saturation dive," conducted as the initial phase of the project. The three taking part in the current 14-day "d ive" are Glen Nagasawa, M .D., postgraduate research fellow in physiology; Kevin Smith, and Michael Stinson. The dala gathered during the two weeks hopefully will . help develop guideli nes for faster, yet safe, decompression of d ivers who work or play deep below the water's surface, Lundgren explained. Decompression sickness occurs when divers surface too quickly, trapping in their bodies higber-than-normallevels of nitrogen that occur under increased pressure. Depending on the length and T depth of a dive, decompression may take from many hours to several days. Lundgren said bei ng able to cut the time it · takes for safe decompression would be particularly he lp ful for companies employing divers working in oil and gas fields at sea boUo m. The divers now must live under pressurized conditions for days on end because of the length of time it takes for safe decompression. The current procedure is ti me~onsuming and costly in terms of man·hours for the companies. The study participants are enjoying th e comforts of home during their time in the chamber, which is 20-feet long and 6as a seven-fool diameter. h is equipped with bunk beds and has a bath and toilet facilities . Meals are being delivered via air locks. A dozen "crew" members from the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences are monitoring the panicipants and the equipment around-the..:lock. Dan Anderson, M.D., postgraduate resea rch fellow in physiology who panicipated in the earlier ..dive," is coordinating the current project. The th ree. p ar ti cipants are also !'Onducting studies aimed at improvin~ understanding of the process that slows the loss of b<><!y water through the skin of divers at great depths. That work is being done in conjunction with a grant fro m the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to Suk-IG Hong, M.D., Ph. D., professo r of physiology. CD James P. Nolan. M.D., has been reappointed to a three-year term as chair of the Ocpanment of Medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Bruce Johnstone on Monday imposed a short-term hiring freeze and suspended all "personnel actions"_ (promotions, etc.) that have not alrea~y been committed. Also imposed is a freeze on all n~w purchases of equipment, signing ofleases, and securing of outs1de. contractual sernces. That is, one cannot now put a new contract m pi~. These measures will be in effect at least until Dec. I, the cbancellor has stated. Affected equipment would likely "be o~ so~e reaso~able dollar value," explained Vice President for Uruve{Sity Sernc;,es Roben Wagner. "We're not ~king about $9 hand calculators. . . Johnstone's action comes in response to the Cuomo adrrurustration's Nov. 11 freeze on State hiring, promotions, and purchases. This was done to address the State's revised estimate of its budget shonfall to $1.94 billion for the current fiScal year. (The Associated Press last week reponed that the State also faces a potential $2.3 billion budget gap for next year, on top ofthe $1.94 billion gap in the current budget.)

Unaffected by the chancellor's aclio n are monies from the Research Foundalion, the Universi1y al Buffalo Fu undatio n, Inc., and the FSA, since these are not State-controlled entities, Wagner explained. Additionally, no further classificatio ns o r promotions will be allowed al U B. until further notice. Promotions will be honored in cases where approvaJ came before Nov. 16. W agner elaborated : ...

He added: "Depend ing on the ex1en1 of red uc1ion. th e campus may nol be a ble to meet I he reduction thro ugh vacancies and projec1ed turnover." Further, he said, the one per cent OTPS reduclion will likely become permanent. Moreover. he foresees a further reduction in UB's PSR (Personal Services Regular) a ppropriation, less campus ne xibilit y 10 transfe r funds belween budget categories, and fewer resources to support new or expanded activitil;S.

Receives Eminent Scientist Award By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Slatf Reporter " I nstead of doing a three-dimensional problem . yo u ' re doing· a twodimensional problem , or instead of doing a two-dimensional problem . yo u do a o ne dimensional one. '"I get rid of a dimension when I go from a volume to a surface or an area to a line." said Richard P. Shaw. professor of civil engineering. He was explaining the method of computing integrals th at he has devi sed . Shaw was recently recogn ized with the ··co mputational Mechan ics Ins titut e Eminent Scientist Award" for his work in the field of boundary integral equati on method s. That British-based institute is o ne of the leading research-educati o nal centers m this and other areas of engt neering analysis. It is pan of a rargcr co mplex tncludi ng Comp ut ational Mechanics Publications an d an affiliated universi ty, the Wessex Institute of Technology.

Aboul ha lf of my papers arc in that field . ·· Prof. Sha\.1. \ angina l resea rch in the area of aco usuc shock loading o n struc ture!'~ fo rmed ht !l Ph.

Shaw cx pla1ned how his .. boundary in tegral cqu~uon method s .. save time in calculating certain integrals. What these methods do for mathematicians is the equivalent of allowi ng them to clean a ho use by washing the windows and painting the siding without having to also vacuum the rooms inside. H owever. I he house gets just as clean . An integral is a sum of an infinite number of terms that are almost zero. When so many of these next-to-nothing • numbers are added together. the result is a finite quantit,y. This may represe nt the area between two curves in a plane, the volume of an object in space, the length of an arc. or some other physical property. Integrals can be calculated in one of two primary ways. An anti-derivative can be found which will give an exact value fo r the integral of the function, or else mathematicians can approximate the~ ue of the function at a large number of points and add those values toge ther in a predetermined fashion . T he more points that the mathemat ician uses, in the second method , the more precise the approximation becomes. Given a certain level of precisio n, Shaw's method allows mathematicans. enginee rs. and ph ysicists to usc fewer points Ia achieve that amount of precision than would normally be necessary. "Think about a box ," Shaw said . ··Suppose I break it into a ten by ten grid. That means I have 100 points where I'm solving a differential equation for tempe rature o r st ress or some thin g. If I just count the points on the boundary. I have four sides with ten poi nts. I'm now only solving for 40. but it"s the sa me acc uracy,'' Shaw said. " When you take a 100 by 100 grid. that would have been 10.000 points (at which you would need to evaluate the equation) by area methods but only 40 by boundary methods. If I have a 50 by 50 (grid). on the boundary I have 200 points and in the interior I've got 2.500. Hey. 111 take 200 over 2.500 any day." Eve n though there are fewer points at which mathematitians need to calculate the values of the equation in an actual applicati on, th ere are still enough points to make the ca lculations too ungainly to be done by hand . As a result. most of these calculations are done on com puters. "This is a numerical technique that aJiows you to use the Compu ters more efficiently. lt "s cheaper and faster in many applications," Shaw said. Because of its applicability to computers. this method allows students to begin solving these equations earlier in their academic careers ... Whe,h I was a graduate student, we11idn't have digital computers. A problem that I can give a sop homore today. would have been beyond - not in thinking but in calculating power - a full professor when 1 waS a grad student. .. E ven though Shaw·s method does not require a math ematician to evaluate functions at the interior. once the function ha s been calculated. inside values can be determined . .. If I want interior values afterward, I can get them ... Shaw said . BUl. in man y cases, an engineer won 't need interior values. "Very often, yo u are o nl y interested in the s urface." Shaw said , '"usually what yo u arc interested in is what 's going in and what 's going out. In a lot of engineering pro blems. engineers are content just getting the soluti on on the surface because that's where what you're dealing with is. " Whether it's fluid mechanics, solid mechanics. electromagnetic theory, or heat conduction. th e interesting stuff is happening on the boundary.·· 8 ut like all other generali7..ations. this one docs not hold true in every case. Shaw said. ""There are a Jot of exceptions, int ernal so urces and things like that. " The method has many different applications. '' It's like arithmetic: you can use it for a wide variety of things. " Shaw said . ·· 1 was talking to someone who u..~cd this method to model the human ear as a nuid ; st ructure interaction problem. 1\·c u ~cd it I? model water waves interacti ng with an asland . Other people have used it for electromagnetic problem s. solid mechanics. a nd seis mo logy.·· Shaw said that he got interested in tsu na mi s. Japanese for what we call tidal wa ves . and realized that thi s method can be used to model these killer water n ows. "The tsunamis were something I got interested in when I was in Hawaii. 1 took a sa bbatica l to work at the joint tsunami resea rch effort. "I 've used th is method on water wa\'c problems but I've also done water w ave~ without this method ." Tsunamis are usually staned by an earthquake on the sea noor. As such. Shaw has done so me work with the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research. "The eanhquake center su pponed some of my work on sloshing liquids in tanks in the pas t. They're interested in ts unamis but the first couple years of th e cen ter were aimed at East Coast problems not (those of the) West Coast. ''Tsunamis are more of a Pacific problem than an Atlantic problem because the rim of the Pacific basin has more earthq uakes than the rim of the Atlantic. They happen (in the Atlantic). but the y're very rare." Shaw said the Navy is ano ther group which has shown interest in the boun dary integral element method because the method is useful in modeling many different types of wave, . .. The Novy-ill big on the method of boundary elements because it all relates to underwater sound." · Shaw joined the UB Division of Interdisci plinary Studies and Research in 1962 as an associa te professor. as part of a .group that came here from Pratt Institute under the chairmanship of Professor Irving H. Shames. He is author or editor of more t~an 90 publicatio ns and is .a member of a number of professional societies as well as a registered profes· sio nal engineer in New York State. The award he has received was p;cviously given to such researchers as Prof. Eric Reiss ner of MIT and UCSD. an internation ally known researcher and developer of the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. and Prof. Jerome Connor of MIT. an established researcher in several areas of numerical a nal ysis, among G m~L Feminist film celebration scheduled for December 2-7 film festival titled --screen Play: A Feminist Celebration of Women in Film" will be held Friday.

RUFF "I Aeponer StaH would come to a very pessimistic conclusion ... said Professor of Political Science Claude Welch about prospects for stability in Burundi. Last August, as many as 50.000 may have died in a surge of violence between the two major ethnic groups in Burundi, while in 1972, over I 00.000 may have been slall!lhtered there. according to experts. Welch spoke with Alison DesForges. an expert on Burundi and Rwanda, in a recent lecture sponsored by the Undergraduate History Council. A study of the peoples of these small landlocked countries of east central Africa is essential to any understanding of the political climate there. maintained Dcsforges, who spent several years in the region . Approximately 85 per cent of the people in both Rwanda and Burundi can be classified as Hutu , she noted . They tend to be muscular and average about 5 feet 10 inches in height. The minority of the inhabi tants can be classified as Tut si. These people. she emphasized. are known for their slenderness and their height. They arc often over 7 feet tall. Gradually migrating to cast cen tral Africa, the H utu and the T utsi created a rather complicated form of political organization. This arrangement allowed power to be shared between the two ethnic groups. "T hesc were sy mbiotically living grouJ:fs, ·· Des Forges commented . .. In this system, One group would predominate. ye t the other group c~ul~ rise to the top." Neven hcless, th1s arrangement has often been desc ribed as Tutsi domination. The resulting nations of Rwanda and Burundi were very strong from the 16th century onward, she said ... Slave raiders couldn't permeate this structure:· she noted. "They (the Hutus and the Tutsi) were able to defeat forces which were far superior in numbers as well. They had such highly developed military skills that they found fu:eanns slow and burdensome." Nothing gets Ali so n DesForges angrier than when people use the word . "tribe" to describe the Tutsi and the Hutu. These groups arc nations. not tribes, she emphasized. "When the press covers this (present connict). if at all. they invariably talk about tri~al warfare. I just sent a letter off to the N•w York Times trying to correct these masconccptions," she said. . "When (the press is) too .~zy or Illinformed to come out with the proper term, they use the word 'tribe.' They are not tribes; they share a nat10nalla~guage and they came in to the area at dtffercnt times." The colonial periud in these two nations extended over only 60 years. but its influenee was nonetheless powerful, she noted. The area came under German control in . I 890, although the first German resident did not arrive until 1906. The Belgians took over in 1916. Seven years later, the League of Nations made Burundi and Rwanda a Belgian mandate which at the time was called RuandaUrundi. After World War II, Belgium exercised a U . N. trusteeship Ruanda-Urundi. During the last year. the Burundi military announced the creation of a new cabine t. which contained 12 Hutus. 13 Tutsi, and a Hutu Prime Minister. These changes fostered much speculati on and hope for stability in Burundi . "T ~ W hen the Europeans first carne to this remote area. De sfo rges explained, they discovered that th e aristocracy (the Tutsi. for the most part) "The international community will take little interest in this. This area has little resources of interest to the U.S. or the U.S.S.R." rese mbl ed themselvc:~ in both ph ysica l features and in pol it ical orgamza ti on . The European~. OcsForges explained. hypothesized that the Tutsi came from no rthern Africa. In the European view. these two kingdoms were somehow mythical in nature. The Tutsi were like them se lves and therefore superior. '" It would all be funny except for tht co nseque nces, .. she said . .. Because of their own racist interpretations. they (the Germans and then the Belgians) saw that the only people fit to rule were the Tutsi males." In addition. the colonial rulers wanted to simplify the complicated political arrangement of these nations. ..What they did. in effect. was to cut down the number of customa r y positions of pow..-. The people headed out were Hutu s and women. groups that had previously enjoyed positions of power. The Europeans accentuated the se nse of Tutsi s uperi o rit y." Des Forges concluded. Moreover, the colonial rulers curtailed access to education for the Hutus . Consequently, the Hutus were denied access to the new positions of power in the bureaucracy in both Burundi and Rwanda. " By 1962, you had a si tuation where virtually all of the positions of power were held by the Tutsi."' DesForges commented. Directly following independence in 1962, the Hut us launched a revolut io n in Rwanda, thereby driving the Tutsi out of their entrenched positions of power. Between 100,000 and 150,000 were either killed or driven out of the country in this revolution, which was supported by imp ortant elements in the R oman Catholic Church. DesForges maintained . The sit uation in Burundi has been quite different, DesForges said. Unlilr.e their counterparts in Rwand a, the Tutsi in Burundi were able to maintain their power. King Mwambutsa was able to balance the in terests of the two groups for a short periud of time following the 1962 granting of independence. However, King Mwambutsa was deposed several years la.ter in a coup by the military. which is dominated by the Tutsi . Three s ucce ssive military regimes have been unable to successfully address the imbalance of power between the two groups. she added . The Hutu s tried to overthrow this Tu ts1 regime in 1965 and 1972. as well as m 1988. The reprisals by the governme nt and the army have been very bloud y. resulting in thousand s of people being killed. DesForges noted. Estimates from the 1972 uprisi ngs range from 100.00010 150.000 deaths. Sakharov receives Humanist Award Prol. Kurlz (lefl) wilh Andrei Sakharov he answer is th at the changes are cosmetic,· said Claude Welch. .. Hutu power is a realit y. So there i~ a to ntinuing desire: on the part of the Tutsi ' in Burundi to reinforce its posi tion where it counts - in the military." Under this new cabinet, the Tutsi minority will . nonetheless be "well protected," according to Welch . Said Welch: .. We will continue to sec periodic uprisings in Burundi because education cannot be confined to a small section of the population . ··over the long run. I think there will be a revolution in Burundi. It will be blo odier than the one in Rwanda . where the Catholic Church played a restraining role." The interna tional coverage of such a revolution would probably be minimal. "" If the bloudshed comes to pass," said Welch. ""I believe that the international com mun ity will take little interest in this, in part because of th e remotenes . "These nation s have little reso urces of interest to the Uni ted States o r the Soviet Union, he added. Welch predicted that although the Tutsi will try to maintain their power. the Hutus in Burundi will rise up . ""The government will topple. but it will take a lo ng time in coming." fD Sov1e1 human nghls aCilvlsl Andre1 Sakharov rece1ved lhe h1ghest award ol lhe lnternallonal Human1s1 and Elh1ca1 Un1on Thursday evenmg al a spec1al recepllon at lhe home ol Mrs Eslee Lauder 1n New York C1ly Paul Kum . co· cha~rman ol lhe organ,zallon and a professor ol philosophy at lhe Slale Un1verslly of Buflalo. presented the lnlernallonal Human1st Award 10 Sakharov who arnved 1n lhe Untied Siales lor the first llme Nov 6 The Jwo-week tnp. h1s f~rsl ou1s1de lhe Sov1e1 Un10n 1n 30 years. was arranged so Sakharov can undergo a senes of med1ca1 tests The award reads ""The IHEU beslows liS h1ghes1 honor 10 Andre' Sakharov 1n recogn1110n of h1s long-s1and1ng conlnbultons IO lhe cause ol human nghls.

There a rc dru gs on the market that control it very wel l. And so when we hear o f asthma deaths, we're very discon ce rted , .. Hindi-Alexander said . Because asthma is not a fatal disease. it should be possible to create a care a nd interven tion program that would prevent the se unn ecessa r y deaths. H indiAlexander. along with.

Hea lth ( BASAH) has a facult y grant award program that well expresses its interdisc iplin ary nature. Establ ished in the summe r of 1987. the grant program serves UB faculty and staff members at affiliated health care instituti o ns whose research interests are related to the behavioral a nd social aspects of health . The purpose of the program . according to Center Director James Blascovich, is to insp ire University facult y to seek exte rnal fundin g for int e rdi sciplinar y research in this area. In o rde r to encourage gra nt recipients to seek external fu ndin g. the S3.000 grants are awarded in three parts. The reci pient will receive S 1.000 upon being selected by the BASA H Faculty Grant Review Co mmittee and another I ,000 followin g h is o r her submi ssion of the proposal to an ex ternal funding source (such as the Nationa l Institutes of Health and the Natio nal Science Foundltion). The gra nt reci pient co llects the final portio n of the BASAH award only when h is or her proposal is funded by an external age ncy. B lascovich hopes the grants will no t o nly push people to obtain such cx.ternal funding but also give them an ince ntive to d o interd isci plinary research . '"The fact that the Unive rsity is structured in depanments makes it difficult fo r (fac ult y) to do things . . . across departments.

There are a number of holidays assoc iated with witchcraft . DiMinni said. The more po pular include Samhain, Oct. ) I , which celebrates the wi tches' new year. and Yule, Dec. 21. which celebrates the sy mbolic death and rebirth of I he moon goddess.

Tools that have masculine o r feminine attribution arc sy mbolicall y united in rituals. T 0 here also arc a number of tools used in the praclicc of witchcraft. DiMinni said . The circle is an integral part of the practice of witchcraft . and is used to draw down and contain power, and send it out.

DiMinni pointed out that ahhough it is a common mispcrcep tion. ritual sex is not a part of the Wiccan tradition. In part, this misconce ption stems from the Wiccan practice of working "skyclad . .. "They believe that working nude prevents people from pretending to be anything they're not. It's not a sexual thing at aij," DiMinni said . ther important tools and !!.ymbols include the pentacle, an upright five-sided star in a circle. that is the Wiccan symbol of life, and the Book of Shadow.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

WEBB News Bureau Staff A computer ..virus" was spread through a national electronic mail network. hitting UB's computers at about 6 p.m. last Thursday, but fast action by University computer technicians preve nted the vi rus from jamming computers. The virus plagued thousands of academic and military computers across the country after a Cornell University graduate student introduced it into an unclassified millitary computer network called Arpanet. UB's computers are hooked up to Arpanet through another computer network. fnternet. According to Hinrich Martens. associate vice president of com put ing servi- ces. the virus was cont ained and an y damage prevented by midnight. Computer technicians continued the cleanup on Friday morning. "If it continues to spread . we ure now protected against the viru s." he said . Murtens said University technicians had received i n s truction ~ on how to deal with the viru5, !IO they were able to "i nocuhnc" the computers fairly effectively. T he computers affected were two large VAX machines and about 40 Sun workstations in the Depanment of Computer Science. The vi rus affected computers with a Unix operating sy tern by infecting the " .. com pilers on the machine•. "C" is a programmin& language like PAS CAL. FORTRAN , BASIC, or COBOL. Workina on the viru• problem were Kenneth Smith , instructional suppon specialist , and Devon Bowen, senior proarammert analyst, from the Computer Science Depanment . The virus wu identified u a "worm." or a proaram that attaches itself to the utility and duplicates Itself u the utility is used . If it is able to duplicate iuelf enouah. computers coulcl be slowed and even stopped u computer memory is filled. ' Accord ina to Martens, the vlrua took adva ntaae of a security loophole In por· ticular Unix versions, which were dis· trlbuted by the University of California at Berkeley. "Theil<: Unix versions had a hole throuah which they became vulner. able to the bug. " he aid . The virus was ap~arently hidden in compiler code, maktng it difficult for ave rage usera to detect. Many computers are linked by telephone lines, providing a way for a virua to spread from computer to ·computer. The damaae to U8 computers was allaht, accord ina to Marten•. "We were aolna to do a abut-down that evenina anyway, • he iaid . Computers are periodIcally abut down for updatlna and revisinapro~. ' Computers have to be abut down and dlaconnec:ted from networks to allow techniclam to deal with the virua. Since the U8 computm were ac:bcduled for a •hut-down at the time the virua invaded the ay11em, the work wu made a little euier. The N.w York 1liM1 reponed that the vlrua wu 1prad by Roben T. Monil, a 23-year-old Harvard .,.eluate and the son of Roben T. Morris, Sr., a top computer security expen with the National Security Agency. The junior Morris said he did not intend the virus to be a destructive one. It was supposed to reside in the utililty, slowly reproducing itself and spreading to other compute rs, but the virus got out of hand when a programming error caused it to reproduce computer code much faster than he had planned. Morris' intention was to point out an error in the Unix operating system. A programmer apparently left the loophole in the system instead of closing it before distributing it in 1985. The loophole also was not corrected after distribu tion. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedl y opened an Investigation into criminal charges. Under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, unauthorized access to federal government computers is a crime. The vi rus invaded computers at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California. one of two laborato~ where · nuclear weapons are designed~ Force computers at NASA's Ames Research Center ill California; and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago. University computen affected by the viru were Unix-operated VAX and Sun machines at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Berkeley, Cornell Uni versity. Purdue Uni versity. the University of Wisconsin. Boston University, the University of Chicago. and the Unlveralty or Michigan. Others affected were at Harvard. Princeton .

The world hunger problem By KRISTA HUGHES and ALLAN CANFIELD World Hunger n an ave rage American household . a typical family might sit down to cdlnner at six o'clock in the evening, enjoy a pleasant meal, and be clearing away diny dishes within a half-hour's time. Within that span of time over 700 people on this earth will die of hunger. many of them children under the age of five . Over the course of a single day 40.000 people will die of hunger; in a week , over a quarter of a million . Some estimates indicate that as many as one billion people in the world arc cu....,ntly hungry, perhaps 20 million of them in the United States alone. Statistics like these an: staggering in their own right. However, it is even more disturbing to discover that the food which is currently produced worldwide ia enough to provide everyone in the waQILlolith about 3.000 calories a day - rouahly the average daily intake ·for an American - and sufncient protein to survive and nourish. The problem of world hunger. then, doea not hllv~ to cxlat, and yet thousand• are dyina in the Sudan riaht now becauoe they do not have enouah to eat. t lnfortunately. the solut ion to th e I state comes to be seen as normaJ, and the very gradual deterioration is not noticeable from one day to the next.

Babies are born to uodemourished motbers and rely on inadequate breast milk as their sole and how you can help It would be easy to say that in order to stop the hunger cycle's spinning, it is only necessary to control the population, the n:asoning being that the fewer people there are, the more everyone else will have to eat. However, overpopulation does not cause poverty and hunger. Poverty causes overpopulation. Large families make gOO<l economic sense in poor lowered birth rate docs not cause the standard or living to soar. In the above example, the requirement that each son work to put his brother through school results in men marrying later and having fewer children, but also having the ability to support a family of their own more adequately than the men of the previous generation. order to achieve this elevated Ito nargue that wealthier nations should standard of living, it would be simple "The effects of chronic hunger are noticeable from one generation to the next.

Brown, Swarthmo~. Colgate, Cornell, California Polyte<:hnic State University, Purdue. and scores of others have programs designed to educate youth, faculty , and staff about world hunger. Recently a conference at Colgate dealt with the issues behind International Food Security . At UB. in lhc summer of 1987, a small group of faculty, students, and staff members met to form the World Hunger Interest Group (WHIG). The goals of WHIG were to include the following: To help raise consciousness about the problem of world hunger; to conduct activities and promote understanding and solutions to the problem of hunger; to attempt to develop courses and programs of study to focus on world hunger. and . to network between colleges and universities where there are similar programs. WHIG is not a gloom and d oom group. Rather. we believe that positi ve steps can and should be taken to focus on understanding and alleviating the problems of world hunger. There are. after all, many success stories to be told . In WHIG we want these success stories to increase as futu.n: generations come to grips with a shrinking world , an interdependent global society, and a burgeoning population. The alternative, of course, is to become psychically numbed by the complexity of the problems behiod world hunger. At UB we have technical and cultural resources to be found in few universities. We need to focus more upon tbe critical problem of world hunger, to help find solutions, and to help launch a more enlightened generation of students, some of whom will be our next political leaders. The members of WHIG invite you to take part in our organization. If you are a faculty member, you might offer a workshop. teach a course, or present a talk. If you are a student, you might generate activities to raise consciousness and get a first·hand glimpse of hunger problems right in Buffalo. If you are a professional or suppo rt staff member, why not take pan by organizing activities and sharing your skills with us? Letters £3.a.ta.n.c_e_ .tacking? I!DITOR: On October 20. 1988.

When I ment ioned the example of the priest, it was not to suggest another category of discrimination. but to point out that all people, despite their basic goodwill. must confront the irratjonal fean that might ca~ them to act inappropriately in the instance of AIDS. I abo want to point out that when your reporter wrote ""1'be Roman Catholic Church wu init.ially not receptive to the idea, • be did not say eoouaJ> because be left the reader with the imprcuion that Lhil wu another example of discrimination on the part of the Church.

An audience gathers in front of a microphone in a spotl ight, and a few performers, so me friends , chat about new songs or old chords. OPEN Othe rs wait uneasi ly for the upcoming show, checking th eir voice or tuning their instruments. But they really have nothing to worry about. This is just open mike night. Everyone is here to have a good time. And they usually do. These UUABsponsored performances encourage a diverse range of students to come before their peers a nd get their " 15 minutes of fame," to use Andy Warhol's famous phrase. For Larry May, director of UUA B's coffeehouse committee, it is one of the high points of the week. "We had this going a oouple of years ago," May said. "And we had literally hundreds of people showing up. That was back when we were serving beer and wine, before the Governor changed the drinking age. "We only had two problems. First, we had problems keeping the building open later than usuaL Second, we started to get so me people who onlyClQ!_ew one chord, or something like that - real 'Gong Jihow' acts." MIKE T his season's open mikes have been going on for five weeks. ·~we NITE Any one can play at this weekly UUAB event dido\ have any advertising for tbe ftrst few nights," May said, "but we still got a full list of players and a decent crowd - about 25 to 30 people. "Last week we did get this one guy. Fred Thompso n. wh o called his band which consisted of him and his guitar 'Chances Are'. He really stank ... But chances usuaJiy a re that audiences will be satisfied with the show. In deed. the idea is not to be a critic. ''You come. hang out. relax, and hear some good music:· as Ma y puts it. A casual attitude permeates the atmosphere. When a whole band asked to perform, May asked if they had their ow n eq uipment and said "what the hell." The band. called "Turn It Down," did not turn it down. much to the chagrin of the folks y crowd. Their sets featured ver- ,.,... ( sio ns of "Talk D irty to Me" and " You Shook Me All Nigh t Long." Wh at inspired these individuals to ex press themselves in Ha rriman? "You want the truth?" asked Dan Smith. band member. " We were getting hassled about our old rehearsal space in the Goodyear TV lounge . I guess some people complained." He confessed that he loved playi ng for a crowd. "I wish there were more people there." he said . He also confided that he gets nervous. .. For the first song, I'm really nervous. but after three or four it gets better.aul Grayson, a guitarist, and Jessica Pask.ell, a vocalist, are familiar with open mikes. " 1 was a P regular al the old o ne."' Grayson said , before making his debut ac this new series. ""It was nice back then to come out of the dorms and play for two or three hundred people." .. I reckon I'm a little nervous ... said Paskell. who hadn' played at an open mike before. '' It's ironic, because I'm in charge of the open mike at Black Moun· tain College II. That 's every ot her Thursday in the Porter lounge in Ellicott." The crowd was very responsive . This duo was more on their level than ..Turn It Down." "City of New Orleans ... a n old Guthrie tune, was a big hit, along with Van Morrison 's "Moondance." By EO KIEGLE R'eponer Staff Gurtanst Paul Wallers. (Top) George Leibo'witz and AI GriHin do 'Elvis.' {Immediately above) Tim Bryant plays at Open Mike. here is also a touch of the unusual T al the open mike, H ow abo ul u rrombonist and a singer doing Elvis covers? George Leibowil£. the trombonist. and AI Griffin. the singer. caught the audience off guard . Remember the idea is not to be a critic. " We want people tp laugh a nd enjoy themselves:· said Leibowitz . .. We have a lot of fun doing th is. U B can make a person too uptight. " Were these Elvis interp reters nervOus? "When you art intendi_ng to make a bit of a fool of yo urself. there is no need to be nervous." said Griffin ...There is a n anistic satisfaction to singing the King's songs to a live crowd .... This duet may stretch the meaning of ••anistic," but the crowd was not put off. The gyrations we re missing but the spirit was there. "Where else could you see this?" asked Buddy Cregin, a frequent open mike audience member. ''I love this stuff. it's a perfect stud y break." Leibowitz and Griffin have no delusions. "We will probably never make it big," Griffin admitted. "But this is a great opportunity to perform in front of an unsuspecting crowd." Open mikes are not intended to make tomorrow's music sta rs . .. But it's good music from t ale nted performers... said May. "It's a great opportunity to come out and have a good time. " Times change, as UB archivist Shonnie Finnegan recalled . "You used to see student.s playing guitars everywhe re in th e summer, or stopping to - read poetry. Back then everyo ne together in onon Union." It '"s not the sixties any more. But people arc still the same. They enjoy performing or buffoorung in fro nt of their peers. That's where the open mike comes in. It may be passe to "Tune in, turn on, and drop out," as Tim l..t:ary instructed, but it is possible to come in, calm down, and hang out.

During a recent lecture here, P1rzada, a former Pakistani government minister, said that military rule in his country has traditionally engendered widespread violations of individual and collective human rights. The phrase "human rights" is in itself ironic, when applied to Pakistan, Pirzada said. " When we talk about human rights in a country or a society... where mili tary rule is the norm, it is a contradiction in terms." During its time in power, the military largely destroyed legislative institutions and reduced the judiciary to a mere "facade," said Pirzada. The milita ry, in turn, established military courts and tribunals, which have convicted more than 195,000 prisoners during an eightyear period . Not giving prisoners the benefit of a hearing, these courts can levy unlimited fines, confiscate all property, and sentence individuals to lengthy imprisonments. accide nt of history." For example, the defeat of the military in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) brought a civilian government under Bhutto into power. The death of General Zia last Augus1 can likewise be viewed as a mere devia· tion. " I would call this also an accident of history," Pirzada said. ince much of its top leadership died in the plane cr'ash, the army chose S not to reassume power, thus allowing a leader in the civilian regime A soverthrown by Zia in 1977, Pirzada about four years in prison, as well spe nt as fou r years in exile. "(Individual human rights) do not exist in Pakistan," he concluded. Violations of collective human rights have also been widespread in this pluralistic nation, said Pirzada. Culturally and ethnically diverse, Pakistan attempted to establish a federal system, drawing up a .. social contract" between the ethnic states and the national government. However, this fede~al system, designed to maintain many of the rights of the ethnic states, has not succeeded, Pirzada observed. "From the very word go in 1947, it is a history of broken promises, compounded and aggravated by military takeovers from time to time." The maintenance of one of the largest military forces in the world (a standing army of. 750,000 who consume between 10 and II per cent of the GNP) has rendered Pakistan incapable of financing education. and health and social services, Pirzada said. Pirzada commented that "all political participation which was ass ured to the nationalities and the ethnic groups in their h.istoric territory (has been) totally negated and denied. n T he result of this violation of collective rights has been conflict, which exists betwec.n the urban and rural sec· tors, the central government and the provinces, the "haves and the have-nets." and between different ethnic and religious group<, Pirzada contended. Since riots have broken out in several provinces, the military has been forced to restore order. The result, according to Pirzada, is that "the whole country is virtually under military siege. n Founded in t947, Pakistan has been ruled, for the most part, by the military. "We are talking about human rights in a country where civilian supremacy and democrat ic rule have become an aberration," he emphasized. "They are not the norm. In other words, the norm is military rule." In this climate of military rule, civilian rule is merely "a deviation caused by the "Various factors have compelled the chief of army staff to withhold a military takeover until he consolidates his position. . .. " - ABDUL HAFEEZ PIRZADA elections under the constitution to be held this November. "Demographic and ethnic factors in Pakistan society have compelled the per.10n who has assumed power as chief of army staff to withhold the action of military takeover until he has consolidated his position and that of his supporters," Pirzada maintained. "To say that the army has decided to quit is a false idea," he said. The solutions to these problems an: complex , Pirzada told his Park Hall aud ience. The civilian government must ultimately place limits on the military, he said. The military ex pansion has also jeopardized relations with India, which are currently at their lowest point in 15 to 20 years, he said. "The greater the pace of the military expansion, the greater the destabilization between the two countries." Relations with neighboring India and the Soviet Union must likewise be n<!rmalized, Pirzada said . Furthermore, a ... massive decentralization n is nt eded, whereby different ethnic communities could become the ""masters of their own resources. n This decentralization is necessary to combat a definite secessional and separatist threat, currently evident in the province of Sinn. "Only in this situation can the supremacy of the civilian rule and of the people's rule come about, which can help normalize relations," Pirzada concluded. CD �November 10, 1988 Volume 20, No. 11 By PATRICIA DONOVAN circ ulated throughout the co untry. Cleveland was decried from the pulpit as "Abso lom the Fast Young Man ." According to Cleveland's biographer, Allan Nevins, another minister made himself a national nuisance by posing as Buffa lo's ex ponent of decency and se nding letters in support of the worst fabrications to newspapers throughout the east. The street cry of Cleveland's oppo· nents became: News Bureau Staff P olitical mud-slinging like that characterizing the 1988 pn:siden· tial campaign took a heavy toll on former pn:sident Grover Cleveland more than 100 years ago, according to letters by the 22nd president that are now o n loan to the: University. Five of the ten personal letters from Cleveland to Buffalo News publisher, E. H. Butler, Sr. were written during the vitriolic pn:sidential campaign of 1884. They suppon the contention that, despite his public persona of dignified silence. Cleveland suffered tremendous personal \grief over allegations, widely published durin g the ca mpaign, that he was a dissolute drunkard , a debaucher of women, and a general cad . On July 30, 1884, he wrote to Butler on the question of keeping silent in the face of the charges: Mal Mal Where's my pa? ~,.o the White House, tm''ttal Ha! The story raised qu es tion s eve n amo n g Buffalo 's gent ry who had suppon ed Cleveland for the nominatio n wi th fireworks and celebratio n. This fact upset Cleveland tremendously and he was nc:ver again to feel at home in Buffalo. Cleveland refused to respond publicly to the charges excep t with his now famous dictuin to his part y co hons: "Tell the truth." The co urse of sile nce was difficult for Cleveland to maintain . however. In one of the newly discove red letters written to Butle r a few weeks after the story broke, Cleveland asks, I am certainly very much obliged to you for all you have done & are constanUy doing for my cause and think I have no cause for criticism thus far to make. AI present alienee I• the policy determined on. You hlllhe nail on the head when you speak of the difficulty of defending against such matters & explaining them .... Of course you know we can make a dreadful retaliation If we choose but I don't like to think of lhal The ten letters have been loaned to the University archives by Stanford Lipsey, president of the Buffalo N~ws and the newspaper's publisher, Warren Buffet, for research and display purposes. According to University archivist Shonnic Finnegan, the letters are not listed in the Library of Congress catalog. and so are assumed to be .. new finds ... C leveland, the former sheriff of Erie Co unty. rose from mayor of Buffalo to New York governor and sec ured the Democratic presidential nomination as reform candidate, staunchly opposed graft and the common, if corrupt, of patronage practiced by Tammany Hall politicians. His term as sheriff gave him the distinction of becoming the only U.S. pn:sident to have personally hanged a man for murder. Cleveland's opponent in the 1884 was James Gillespie Blaine, former speaker of the House, U.S. senator, and secretary of state under James G~eld . The substantive political issues of the day were tariff policy, the currency, and civil service reform, but the public heard little about them as the campaign took on the tone of a great moral crusade. Blaine had lo st the Republican pn:sidential nomination in 1876 because of charges that while speake r of the house he had used his office to advance his railroad interests. In 1884, he stood accused of having "wallowed in spoils like a rhinoceros in an African pool" while secretary of state. It was Blaine's failure to d isavow the anti-Mugwump outcry against "Rum, Roman ism, and Rebellion!," however, that caused a fury among immigrant Catholic voters in New York and may have cost him the election. · For his part, Cleveland, too, had been the victim of a whispering campaign even before the nomination, that alleged him to be anti-Catholic and anti-Irish. He was abo said to be a dissolute drunkard. One month after the nomination, on July 21 , 1884, the Evening T~l~graph. a Buffalo scandal sheet (later purchased by the Buffalo Evening N~ws), dropped the bombshell of the campaign. Campaign of 1884 outdid 1988 in terms of vitriol; slurs took heavy toll on Grover Cleveland How on earth could a boy with no friends but his Industry reach the place at the bar, among the people, be begged to accept the nomination for mayor, be elected by an Immense majority ragardleu of party, perform the dulles well, be nominated •nd elected governor, receive the pl•udlta of •II good ,..., of lhe Stale, •nd In all these things, work hard, and yet be a drunken debaucher? Some things are too ridiculous for belief; and II did seem to me that this was one of them. Cleveland the Democrat was "cleared " of charges of moral turpitude before the general election by a committee of 16 prominent Buffalo Republic!a ns, who stud ied and discredited the aHcgations. Major newspa pers across the co untry initi ated a res ponsible examination of the issue th at likewise exonerated Cleveland of irresponsible and dissolute In a story titled "A Terrible Tale," the paper elaborated with unctuous detail on the commonly known fact that Cleveland had acknowledged fathering the son of widow Maria Halprin in 1874. A lthough there had always been serious questions as to the child's paternity (he was named Oscar Folsom Cleveland after Cleveland and his law partner), Cleveland supported him and later saw to his adoption by a wealthy Buffalo famil y. The rest of the story involved the placement of the child in an orphan asylum, the temporary placement of Halprin in a mental ward for drunkenness and neglect of the boy, and her later unsuccessful attempts to kidnap the child from the asylum before his adoption. The paper also relayed tales of drunken revelry and affairs with Halprin by the bachelor Cleveland and his married cronies that had precipitated the entire episode. The Evening T~legraph story and even more notorious allegations were widely Wh ethe r Bl ai ne was perso nally re5ponsible for the attack is unce rt ai n. Cleveland himself had re fe rred to his "woman scrape .. in discussio ns with a number of his political allies. In any case, Cleveland refused to criticize Blaine in a similar tone and forbade any use of his opponent's tactics. Cleve land went so far as to burn physica l evidence turned over to him that supported a nasty and mendacious story regarding Blaine's marriage and other matters th at might have se riously damaged his opponent. Despite ouuageous scand al less than th ree months before the vo te, C le veland later won the election and another iO 1892 to beco me the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. He was the only president to se rve two nonconsecutive terms. On June 2, 1886, President Cleveland married Frances Folsom, 22, of Buffalo, the daughter of his law panner. The wedding took place in the White House and was followed by a 21-gun salute from the navy yard and the chiming of the city's church bells. The couple had ·•· four children. The presidential campaign of 1988, with li ts tone of sanctimony and revelations of questionable personal behavior on the pan of one-undidate after another, might have a familiar ring to Grover Cleveland and James GiUespie Blaine.

The new associate professors are Muhammad I. Kenyatta. J.D .. a 1984 Harvard Law School graduate. a blac k civil rights activist and an ordained Baptis t minister. and Peter Pitegoff, J . D., a 198 1 gradu ate of New Yo rk University. whose field of expertise ranges from trad itional econo mic development a nd business law to esta blishment o f worker~wned businesses. Both came to UB from New England . Dean David B. Filvaroff has noted that one of the fundamen tal goals of the law school ''is to be invo lved in the real world" through its emp hasis on public service law - .. giving somethi ng back to th e commu n ity . " The addition of Kcn ya tt a and Pitegoff. he observed . "fits thi s mold perfectly. '' U B law sc hool is a pio neer in providing legal education that emb ra ces human ri ghts. an interd iscipli nary program called " the Buffalo Model." The program offers law degrees based on sociul science s cudies as wc:JI as law. The school has won high praise for its innovative program as well as criticism several months ago from former U.S . Secretary of Education William J . Bennett for being " liberal. " Dean Filvaroff responded to Bennett's criticism by saying he would .. not back away from (U B) being called a liberal law school. " "Liberal," Filvaroff said at the time, .. implies freedom of exchange of ideas ... K enya tt a recalled th at he " heard the call" to preach the Gospel in 1956 as a 12-year-old residing in the "'West End " ghetto of then segregated Chester , Pa. Under the tutelage of the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Cheste r, Kenyatta related, he delivered his " trial sermon .. and was licensed to preach on March 22. 195.8, shortl y after his 14th birthday. It was many years later that Kenyaua , turned to a career of law. In 1960, Kenyatta attended Lincoln Universi t y, an hi sto r ically black ins titut io n in Pennsylvania, for a year. Lacking funds to continue, he joined the Air Force at 17 a nd. caught up by the civil rights movement . organized protests against racial discri mination at the Altus, Okla. , base of the Strategic Air Com· mand . In 1962, he and an Air Force friend, also a black, were arrested for sitting in the " white section .. of a restaurant in Altus. Kenyatta recalled bitterly that he and his friend were turned over to tbe Air Force. which confined them to quarters and put them on 16-hour daily work shifts for 14 days. The charge, be said, was '"failure to obey local customs." Through a congressional source, Xenyatta initiated an investigation of r'aciaJ discrimination in the Air Force. The probe, be added, resulted in an executive order by President John F. Kennedy against discrimination by the military. Another result, said Kenyatta, was that he won an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1962 at age 18. But the war wasn' won yet. I n 1966, Kenyatta went to Mississi ppi with his wife and one child. While working for the Youth Corps a nd attending Tougaloo College, he related, so meone reported that he was a drug peddler. From that time on, he and his wife were followed wherever they went by two men in an unmarked car. One day, while Kenyatta was sitting in his car, a gunshot smashed through the win· dow on the driver's side of his car and then through the window on the opposite side. Kenyatta left town. It wasn' until 1971, when FBI files were " liberated," that his experiences in the South " began to make sense," Kenyatta related. A group of unidentified persons broke into FBI -olfiCCS at Media. Pa, to "liberate" the agency's files. Kenyatta was shown to be one of 2,000 persons listed in FBI Director J . Edgar Hoover's "agi t ator index . .. The record s also showed , Kenyatta said, that there were 36 7 entries on him over a 365-<lay period, and that an FBI informant was present when three guns were passed out to people on the Tougaloo College Defense Committee. a grou p that sought to silence Kenyatta. In the end , after many yea'ti::Qf court lit igati on. a j ury in Jackson, Miss .• found also was em ployed in Oakland , Calif. , and in rural North Caroliofa as a civil rights proponent before he turned to law as a caree:r. Following his graduation from the NYU School of Law, Pitegoff served as attorney from 1981 to 1987 for the Indust rial Coo perati ve Association ( ICA) a t Somerville, Mass. In this ca pacity, he gave legal assis tance to worker groups in business acquisitions and in the start-up and ope ration of workcr-ownen::ompanies throughout the nation. Also, starting in 1986. he served as an adjunct assistant professor with the NYU Law School. In 1987, Pitegoff and two other attorneys opened a law practice in the Boston suburb of Somerville , specializing in economic development law and employee business ownership. The law firm also is general counsel to the ICA in Somerville. Pitegoff also has served as a guest instructor at Harvard Law School. In coming to UB , be relinquished his ties to the Massachusetts law firm . Pitegoff, recognized as an expert in democratic corporate structure . ha s written extensively on the subject. He also was a principal drafter of Chapter "While working in Mississippi, . Kenyatta was one of 2,000 persons tn J. Edgar Hoover's 'agitator index;' there were 367 entries on him in a year." in 1985 that there was no reason to take action against the FBI. I n 1973-74, Kenyatta attended Har· vard Divinity School as a Merrill Fellow, his first formal ministerial train ing . Between times, in 1966, he enrolled a t Will ia ms College, where he spent a year. After several years , he returned to Wil· Iiams and received his bachelor of arts degree in 1981. Then it was on to H arvard Law School. where he received hi s doctorate in 1984. In 1984-85, he was a Harvard Fellow in Public Interest Law. He also held positions with Haverford College, Wooster College, and Temple University. A member of the Massachusetts Bar Association, Kenyatt a served as director of community programs for the New England Re gion of the American Friends Service Committee before: coming to UB.

J-fowe ver, an a nxious crowd waited !.ear the Audubon Parkway in the rain' last Saturday for the landing of the Mercy Flight hel ico pter as part of a training exercise for the Baird Point Ambulance Corps. , Eric Stryker. of the Ambulance Corps, explained that they have not yet bad to make use of Mercy Flight, but it is important to be prepared. "The helicopter can get to the Erie County Medical Center in about five minutes,.. he said . .. It wbuld take an ambulance 17 minutes. ..Mercy Flight is effective in si tuation s where you have multiple trauma or several people injured ... or if there a re hazardous ma terials involved," Stryker co nt inued . Mercy Flight is a non-profit corpora· tion that was established in 1981 to pro· vide emergency trans portation from rural areas to urban hospitals, accord ing to Gary Morgan, administrative assistant. Clad "in fluorescent orange, Morgan addressed a crowd of Ambulance Corps members before the flight. He instructed the group on the necessary precautions and procedures invo lved in an emergency helicopter landing. "If Lhe pilot has been up in the air in the dark for an extended period of time, and if yo u use bright lights to illuminate the landing site, he will be blinded," he advised . "Any other color is fine - use the red flashers on the ambulance." "The whole procedure is common sense," he added . " We 've had 4,790 fligjlts without any major injury." There can be risks involved. "The helicopter has a powerful downwind , called 'rotor wash,' that fires debris into the air," Morgan said. "And the tail rotor spins at about 3,000 RPM - there is no reason ever to go near the rear of the helicopter." It takes abo ut $650,000 to keep Mercy Flight in the air. In addition to the Bell 206 helicopter and its pilot, the corporation employs nine paramedics and must pun;base equipment. "It all works out to roughly S 12 per minute of air time," said Brian Lonsbery, volunteer ~<'presentative for Mercy Flisht. The uaining session was arranged for UB Ambulance Corps members and enrollees of an Erie Community College course for emergency medical practitioners. "We are proud to be able to offer this kind of experience to our membca," Stryker concluded. "Hopefully, it will also aftract new volunteers." I CD �November 10,1988 Volume 20, No. 11 By CHRIS VIDAL In 1850, Herreid noted, Harvard Uni· versity's curriculum required students to take a science course or a mathematics course or both every semester. every year. Today, however. most colleges in the United States require only a couple of semesters of science or math. "Some require courses on how scientists think. but that's not scie nce. This occurs at the same time as so me of our Publications Staff I t is time for educators to take back control of the curriculum and provide a more well·rounded education for the students their institutions serve. Aptitude test scores are declining, and there is · a widespread ignorance of the educational basics. according to Clyde Herreid, academic director · of the University Honors Program and distinguished teaching professor of biological "We allowed students to democratize but we abrogated our responsibility for their educations." sciences, who presented his views at the ndergraduate College Colloquium held Nov. 3. "'Fi rst. I turn to the skeletons in our closet. .. . Our educational system is in trouble," said Herreid , who titled his prese ntation ''Friday the 13th, Part X: Educational Mayhem ." According to a survey conducted by NUiional G~ographic magazine, Herreid said. 15 per cent of Americans could not iden tify their ow n co untry on a world map. It is no t only our knowledge of geography that is deplorable. he added. Students in the Uni ted States rank at the bottom on science and math literacy tests when co mpared with students from 15 ot her world powers. SAT scores are declining. GRE sco res are falling, and on ly a minorit y of students feel they have a clear understanding of basic science principles such as what is a molecule. " If knowledge is power. then the U.S.A. is in deep trouble. " he said. greatest advances are occu rrin g.·· he said . " It seems incredible that we have a president who believes in astrology and believes that creati onism should be taught in the classroom ... Decreased science requirements arc co mpounded by the impression that .. scie ntists don't want to talk to th e ' unwashed .' and I'm here to tell you that it 's true." Herreid admitted. .. I can't bring the subject down to their level" is a common argument used by academiciara in the technical sciences. Unfortunately. he added, this attitude also sends a signal into the high schools that they should not bother with science or whh math. S o where does the problem come from? "The graduate schools blame the undergraduate schools, the undergraduate sc hools blame the high schoo ls, the high sc hools blame the elementary schools. the elementary schools blame the parents, and the parents blame society," he said. The finger-pointing goes on and on - socie ty blames the teachers. the teachers blame the administrati on. the administration blames the parents. ad infinitum. And the problem is compounded every step of the way. On the home front, he said ... we have developed a nation of small couch potatoes." No matter how committed or loving a teacher may be. elementary school also prese nts its own set of problems. It is the most troublesome students who receive the most attention, Herreid noted. There is a certain amount of obligatory passing students up to the next grade. And elementary schools tave become increasingly depersonalized. with teachers spe· cializing in specific curriculum 'areas. This specialization leads to another problem - time, said Herreid. "Over an hour a day is spent in the physical aspect of moving children from place to place," he complained . A peripheral issue, he mentioned, is the tendency to equate more money with better education. Thirty years ago, Herreid said, when salaries were poor, teachers and principals were predominantly women. However, as the pay scale ! . eased, more men entered the educati 1eld, and the employment picture was eha ged further by factors such as unionization and strikes. "Women have given up (control) of the educational system" Herreid said. "They've gained some things (such as higher salaries and better benefits), but there are significant losses. "Women develop more loving relationships than men. I know I'm skating on thin ice, but I think there is some merit there." And this has led to some of the depersonalization of education. .-/ H igh schools have p~ented their own set of challenges. "Jfwe sent a message Ihal high sch oo ls Educational mayhem It's time for educators to take back control of curriculum, Herreid urges " Drugs, alcohol, discipline problems. we know they exist," Herreid said. This is compounded by the sheer size of schools today. "Schools are larger and more impersonal. .. When he was a student, Herreid noted. a secondary school might have a total 500 or 600 students. Today, many high schools have 2.000 or 3,000 students. He added that today. 25 per cent of students drop out of high school for whatever reason . Also, high school curriculum requirements do not take four years to complete, and .. by the time yo u gel to the senior year, there is very little (school) work going on." 0 n the college level, one of the prob· lems the U.S. faces is what Herreid • called the "democratization of colleges. "There is a major change in the number of people going on to college." He noted that 30 years ago, about onethird of high school graduates went on to post-secondary education; today, that figure is 60 per cent. This has led \O a certain amount of lowering of academic standards and grade inflation. The size of universities also plays a role. Schools sU<:h as Ohio State and the University of Michigan, with their tens of thousands of students, have further depersonalized education. Another problem Herreid pointed to is " the development of vocationalism." Academic specialization has become a primary emphasis rather than a secondary goal of higher education. At least some of this occurred with the academic changes of the '60s and 70s when "we gave up our curriculum" through the loosening of academic requirements. "II is very clear that by giving up the curriculum we allowed students to democratize, but we abrogated our responsibility," he said . Now. faculty all over the country are trying to come to grips with the problems that have resulted from the democratizati on of college educations. T he academic requirements that most often have been removed are the tcc_hnical sciences and mathematics. sho uld require four yea rs of scie nce. four years of math . and four years of language. it would take some adjustments. but th ey would do it ... Herreid said. A nether problem with teachin g th e technical scie nces is th at the courses build o n each other: "The hierarch y of learning makes it tough to teach those courses to people wh o don 't have the backgrouad .... It's a problem and we're probably going to fail" if we try because most teac hers arc not good enough to work around it. Herreid said. University facult y have begun to work at reversi ng the trends of the last 20 or 30 years. Education does ha ve skeletons in its closet. but educators at all levels are working to min imi ze them. Herreid said. winding back to his " Friday the 13th" analogy. ··we must always be alen for monsters because they are never dead ,·· and educators never want to hear the ... Poltergeist" refrain of "they're back." he said. "Ladies and gentlemen, let 's nail the bastards to the wall."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

' The 1989-90 Budget que.st UB is seeking $210.3 million, up 7.9 per cent from this year 1989-90 REQUEST 52 10.335 :JtlO By ANN WHITCHER Stall Reponer UB has formally requested a budget of$210.3 million for 1989-90, a 7.9 per cent increase over last yea r's budget. In a report to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week President Steven Sample called his budget a "lean" one that deserve~ approval. In an interview wi th the Buffalo News, he added that " under th e circ um stances. .SUNY - Bu ffalo h as bee n fair ly well treated. We've gotten our share of system-wide resources." The $210.3 million for UB was part of last week's SUNY Trus tees action to formally req uest a bud get of $1.55 billion for the system fo r the 1989-90 fiscal year. This represents an 8.8 per cent increase over the curre nt SUNY budget - an increase th at Gov. Mario Cuomo pronounced himself qui te dissatisfied with in statements to the press las t week . It 's still too much of an increase, said the Governor, who again ruled out the possibility of a tu ition hike to provide more resources for SUNY. Vice President for . Unive rsity Services Robert J . Wagner said UB's request was prepared alo ng guidelines previously provided by SUNY . Most of the SUNY's requested increase - Sll6.9 million to be exact - is needed to meet inflation and negotiated fringe "Chancellor Johnstone says that most of SUNY's requested increase is needed to meet already negotiated salary and fringe benefit increases, but Gov. Cuomo is unreceptive. " benefit and salary increases. Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone said in Al bany. Johnstone said that Sl7 .9 million has been requested for SUNY program improvements and S2. 1 million for tuition waiver costs. He added that SUNY has reduced its budget base by SIO million th rough such actions as library services reduction and delays in academic equipment replacement. Wagner ex plai ned that the SUNY budget document will now move to the Division of the Budget (DO B). which will. through instructions from the governor's office, prepare the executive budget, likely to be issued in late January. During February and March, Wagner explained , the legislature wUI propose changes in the executive budget. "By the end of March, the legislature has usually passed , and the governor bas enacted, the budget," he said. S ample told the FSEC that all but SIO million of UB's increase ove r the current budget represents salary and fringe benefit raises and inflation. Because of the balloon payme nts required by the un ion con· t racts. he added, more th an o ne·third of the thrcc·year salary and benefit cos ts will be payable in 1989-90. Also. the University is requesti ng Sl.7 million to fund the thi rd yea r of t he Grad uate Research Initiative (GR I). Beca use of current budge~ constraints, President Sample said in his formal request, UB inte nds to concentr ate its GRI efforts during the next few years primarily in the following areas: • Biomedical Engineering and Blomalerlals - especially through a proposed Biomedical Engineering Institute (BME I), organized as a major research unit. • Biochemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Biotechnology - especially through the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Biological Sciences and the School of Pharm acy. • Cognitive and Neurosciences - especially through the National Center for Geographic lnforma tion.a nd Analysis and associated departments. the Computer Science Depart· ment, and the Ne uroscience Program in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. • Environmental and Structural Engineering - especially th rough the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research and the ew York State Center for Hazardous Waste Management, and associated departments. • Material• Science- especially through the New York State Institute on Superconductivity. the Center for Electro~ active and Electro-optic Materials, and the Laboratory for Re actio n and Ceramic Engineering. and associated departments. 5« lnatrvctlon & o.p.rtmentot R...•rch 5C Org•nlzed ReH•rch O.U Public Service 2C Orpnlzed ActiYiu..

George H ochfield of English again presented his resolution asking thc .University to discontinue the courtesy car program. According to the Hochfield resoluti on ... no member of the faculty or staff of SUNY should solicit o r accept gifts or services from private individuals or businesses which are not directly related to the educational need s o r mis· ~i o n of the Universit y... Provost William Greiner ~aid that ··as a general pro posi ti on. George's resolution has a lot of merit to it." However. Grei ner cautio ned that care mu st be taken m dealing w1th the matter since gift d o ll<t r~ are expected to become increastngl\ tmpo rtant to the Untvcrsit y. At.'t,:o rdtngly .

This results in ··a rather substa ntial transportation cost to be covered" by the Division of Ath letics, he said . Greiner said '"40 to 45 per cent" of his own auto travel is job-related. At some schools. he said. the athletics co mponent has a n ect of cars ; this is especia lly the case in rural areas. "We've avoided that ." said Greiner. who added that the reimbursement meth od is not favo red for athletics-related travel here. since the mileage rate is "inadequat e." Asked whether the divisio n 's request for a courtesy car had followed the usual procedures of the University. Greiner said the request was made with the help of the U B Foundation, the agency most experienced in soliciting gifts. Yet in Greiner's view, the proced ure and the implications of the courtesy car program were not ~ciently worked out. Greiner said he has asked Joseph Mansfield, presi dent of the UBF. to consult with University counsel to develop guideli nes for th e so licitation of gifts for the benefit of the University. The e. he said, sho uld meet the UBF requirements. satisfy the tax Jaws. and allow for the approval of all appropriate su pervisory officers. Dennis Malone said the Public Offiers Law stipulates that one must be careful not to solicit or accept gifts that would personally benefit the individual. or mnuencc o ne 's dects1ons on \'ariou matters. ill Breenc . the athletics d!\' t~io n's new development direct o r. said the one car from Muck Motors that is th e subject of th e cont roversy. t.·an be used by an y at hleti cs official with a need .

Breene said he didn"t know if a Jog of the car·s use was being kep t, but agreed with Greiner and Faculty Senate Chair John Boot that one ought to be maintained. Breene said that provision of the co urtesy cars holds benefits for donors th at are not available through other types of gifts, since it gives them visibility in the commun ity as supponers of UB. Hochfield asked Greiner why he d•dn i request a co urtesy car for himse lf, gi,·cn the heavy use of his auto for Uni ver!I H\ business. Greiner responded that it 1s nOt "the norm "' for University office r!~ to receive a courtesy car for off1c1aJ business.

Prepared by the Office of Equal O pportunity / Affirmative Action, the brochures state that sex ual harassme nt of employees a nd st udents is contrary to University po licy and violates federal and State regulations. Sexual harassmen t is dtfined as "any unwelcome sexual adVances. requests for sexual favors, and other verbal o r ph ys ical conduct of a sexual nature .... This occu rs when : • sub missio n to such conduct is made a term or condition of one's employment: • s ubmission o r rejection of sUch conduct is used as the basis for empl oy ment decisions ~ .. • such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreaso nabl y in terfering with o ne 's work performance or creating an in t imidating, h ostile, or offensive working e:nvironment. Harassment of men by women exists. the brochure points out. However, .. the ove rwhelming majority of workers who enco unt er sex-related threats , demand s, and h umiliari.ng behavior are women." The sex ual harasser, it adds , is usually a male who is in a posi tio n to affect the woman'sjob performance, to promote or transfer her, or recom mend her for vari ous train ing programs or caree r en hancements. However, the brochure states, the harasser could well be someone who has no authority to affect o ne 's employment status, .. but whose conduct h as the pu~pose or effec t of unre aso n ab ly in terfering with one's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile , or offensive working environment ... mployees are asked to consider the following questions : • Are commen ts being made about o ne's clothes. makeup. and bod y more than about one's work? • Is the employee being to ld int imate stories abou t marital problems and sexual escapades? • Does the harasser tell dirt y little jokes, or show lewd pictures th at see m to impl y th at sex with him or her is fun? • Are there attem pts to get sympathy with sad stories abo ut a failing love life? Does the harasser say things about his or her spouse: that cause one embarrassment? • Is the harasser curious about o ne's happiness , date s, o r sex u al a nd emotion al fulfi llment? • Is the employee invited in to another's office to talk abou t no thing? • Are there incidents of-accidentally~ bumping into another. or tryi ng to fc;tndle or kiss the other pe rso n? • Has the employee been told that he or she is the other's ..type?"' • Has the individual been whistled at in a suggestive manner? • Has it bee n suggested, implied, o r pl ai nl y stated that the status and cond iti ons of one's employment depend on granting sexual requests? W Does the harasse r make obsce ne gestures, or leer at one's body? • Did one's wo rking condi tions worse n after rejecting the harasser 's sexual advances? • Is any part of a person's work area decorated with centerfold-style posters or pictures, printed quotations having a sexual connotation, or other offensive objects or displays of a sex u• l n a! are? E he brochure urges harassed employees to stat e clearly that they don' like wh at was said or done and wish it to stop . .. There is a cha nce - a lbe it sm all - that the harasser did not know that the behavior was offe nsive to yo u. If you decide: to file a g rievance at a late:r date it is helpful , but not essential, to have objected to the behavior." Those who have been h arassed are told to discuss the matte r l\tth other women in the same work are a "You may fi nd they feel the same way you do. Find out if othe h ave been harassed b ~ the perso n." Finally, those afkcted are ad vtSed to kee p records, get a witness. and wnte a letter to the harasser, to be deli vered tn person or by cenified mail. •• Jn th e unlikely event the letter fails to stop th< harassme nt, .. the brochure states. "it can later be used to document retal iation or in support of a formal complaint or .. lawsuit." The brochure adds: " If the haras>< r persists in repeating verbal or phystcal acts of a sexual nature, or if the initial in cident is highly disturbin g o r humiliating, request a meeting with the approp riate department chair o r untt head .

INTRODUCTION In my State of the Uni versi ty Address last yea r I focused on the fact that 1987 marked the silver anniversary of the merger of the private Unive rsi ty of Buffalo with the State Unive rsity of New Yo rk System. On that occasio n I was particularly inte res ted in highligh ting the pectacular gains we have made ove r the past 25 years as we have grown from a med ium-sized pri va te university to a comprehensive public resea rch universit y the dramatic ex pansio n of o ur faculty and stud en t body. of ou r physical plant and ope rating budget . and of our degree program s and resea rc h effons. But 1 also ho ped at that tim e to draw attention to the special tasks imposed on us by the change to a l.~rger. more complex institution, to an institution more strongly oriented than ever before to graduate education and research , and more conscious of its role as an emerging nati onal center of academic excellence. In particul ar. I stressed at that time the need to reshape the academic environment for our undergraduates so as to place the tremendous intellectual and cu ltural wealth of the Universi ty more immediately and more manageably at their disposal. and I ci ted the first year's work of the Undergraduate College as a significa nt beginni ng of that task. This year I sho uld li ke once again to celebrate a special anniversary. and to expand so mewh at on las t yea r's them e. In d oin g so I shall depart fro m the aims and form at of State of the Uni vers ity Addresses in years past, all of which have been la rgely devoted to reporting o n the preceding year's acco mplishments. ~r this month I gave just such an accounting of the past year in the form of the President's Annua l Report to the Universit y Council. which was printed in the October 13 edition of the Reporter. Whence Come her & Wh zt Go the Liberal Arts & Sciences? e Thus today's address to the acade mic community will not be a report at all, but rather an attempt to raise some fundamemal questions about the liberal arts and sciences. both in the historical context of these disciplines here at UB. as well as in the la rger co nte xt of the American academy. An Address to the Academic Co mmunity of the State University of New York at Buffalo by Steven B. Sample President of the University October 31 , 1988 II. THE ARTS AND SCIENCES AND THE MAKING OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO This year marks the Diamond Jubilee of the founding of the Art s and Sciences at the University of Buffalo . Seventy-fa ve years ago this fall, in September of 1913 , so me 67 years after the founding of the University as a medical school, UB offered its first program of stud y in the liberal arts. Though the College of Arts and Sciences was not formally established until seve n years later. the offeri ng of the first arts and sciences courses in 1913 has traditionall y bee n celebrated as the birthdate of the College itself. One could not imagine a less spectacular beginning - in fact as well as in nam e - than the beginning of the Ans and Sciences at UB. Not only was the..new curriculum offered under the modest and cautious title of .. Co urses in Arts and Sciences." but the courses were taught entirely by racult y bo rrowed from UB's alread y existing Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy and from the local high schools. The high school teachers were paid the princely sum of two doll ars an hour for their time in the class room! Furthermore, these courses were taught only in the afternoon s, because that was when the borrowed facult y were free from their other duties, and when classroom space (another borrowed resource) happened to be available in the building of the . Medical and O.:ntal Schools. The first arts and sciences office likewise consisted of no more than two desks in the librarian's room of the medical building - borrowed furniture in yet another borrowed spaCe:. When the Buffalo Everring News marked the occasion by cheering, somewhat optimistically, for "small things rightly planted ," the "small things" were the indisputably factual part of that statement. Not only was this beginning small and makeshift, and in so me quite literal se nse marginal - which is to say , simply tucked in around the edges of everything which then constituted the University - it was also quite remarkably accidental. These first courses in English, history, languages, mathematics, biology. physics, and chemistry came into being not because the members of the Universit y communit y chose them, not because the City of Buffalo had finally voted or private citizens had finall y pledged fund s for a college of liberal arts, and not because the found ing vision of UB's first Chancellor, Millard Fillmore, had finall y prevailed. No, they came into being simply because, of all things, the Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association had recently issued new guidelines. According to the AMA 's new rules. if U8's medical school were to retain its Class A standing it would have to re~uirc at least one preliminary year of college stud y of all of its entering st ud en ts. Since such liberal arts st ud y v.•as not readil y avai lable to medical students in th e local area, and since the local area was the so urce of most of the medical school's stude nts at that time, it followed th at UB would have to provide its ow n liberal a rts co urses. For that reaso n, and non e ot her. were th e co urses in a rts a nd sciences begun : they were the ironic child of the very professions whose narrow ness it was th eir fu ncti o n a nd destin y to co rrect. In th is chan cy and provisio nal way the o rigi nal drea m of Millard Fillmore for the Universi ty of Buffalo was finally reali zed so me 67 years after its co ncepti on. For Fillmore's d rea m in 1846 was that the o riginal instituti on. chartered as a universi ty but o nly a medical school in fact. would q uickly add a d ivision of li be ral arts, another of the ology. and anot her of law, and thus become a real uni versi ty. By th is evolution the Uni ve rsi ty of Buffalo wo uld grow int o its nam e and its charter. For the entire 28 years of hi s Chancello rship. howeve r, Fillmore failed to bring about the establishment of the Arts and Sciences at U 8 , and the failure continued beyond his time. Schools of Law. Dentistry. and Pharmacy came int o being in the late ninetee nth ce ntury, but it seemed that a College of Arts and Sciences co uld come into ex istence only with its own endowment. si nce. unlike th e professio nal sc hools. it could not be supported by student fees a lone. Fund · appeal after fund appeal failed to produce such an endowment - that is. until afler the AMA fo rced the first liberal arts courses into ex istence. In spite of a ll th is history. it was in fact the establishment of the Arts and Sciences here that allowed UB to become a real universit y. That develo pment was completed over the seve n years follo~ing the offering of the first liberal arts co urses in 191 3.' A one-year program became a two-yea r program, then three, then four. The course offerings grew into a department, and the department grew into a Coll ege with depanments of its own. Tllc operation moved from borrowed space to a building of its own. and it acq uired the beginnings of a permanent endowment. The endowment. in turn , allowed for th e hiring of full-time faculty . In 1920 the seve n-year gestation period was completed, and the College of Arts a nd Sciences assumed full , distinct, and official existence, and was authorized to grant its own degrees. It was with th is event that U 8 became a true university, because it was the establishment of th e College of Arts and Scie nces that gave an academic a nd intellectual center . to what had been otherwise little more than a confederallon of professional sc hools. The names most closely associated with the founding of the College of Arts and Sciences arc hou se hold word s for us today. It was M~s- Grace Knox wh o in 1916 pledged a half College m mill ion dollars to establish an endowment for the 1 honor of her recently deceased husband , Seymo ur Knox. Sr. Seymour S r.'s son , Seymour ll. who was a member of the University Council from 1920 to 1969 and chairman from 1949 to 1969, guided UB through its merger with the SUNY System: he conti nues to se rve the University as Chairman Emeritus of the Council to this very day. Seymour Sr.'s grandso n, Nonhrup. now se rves as the nation al chairman _of UB 's first ca pital campaign as a public university. Just tha s past month the Kno x famil y pledged one million dolla rs to the campaign to endow programming in the University's new Fine Arts Center. The Arts and Sciences College's first building, in downtow n Buffalo. was the gift of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, and it bore the name of ~he Union 's founder. Mrs. Harriet Townsend . the present Townsend Hall on the South Campus continues her memory, just as the more recently qpencd Park Hall on the North Campus memorializes the remarkable fort y-year academic career of the College's first Dean, the historian Julian Park. Professo r Park was a member of the original arts and sciences faculty in 1913. and went on to lead the College through its first 34 years. In his later years he was the College's chronicler as well. Even to this day our best sense of the College's early and middle years comes from its history as Julian Park lovingly and devotedly wrote it. Nor should we forget those who shaped and made possible the development of the College of Arts and Sciences in the crucial years beginning in 1920. We arc especially indebted to the trio of Walter P. Cooke, A. Glcnni Bartholomew, and James H. McNulty, who organized the 1920 fund drive which raised live million dollars, thereby allowing UB to begin in earnest the development of an academic campus at Main Street and Bailey Avenue. We should also remember especially C hancellor Samuel Capen, who inspired a nd guided UB's development after 1922. As we approach the end of our own move to still another new campus following our entry into the SUNY System, we may lind an uncanny anticipation of ourselves in the comments of a cenain R . L. Duffus, who observed of the Main and Bailey Cllrfi pus in 1936: "The campus, with its new buildings, several miles �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 from the _c~ nte~ of the city, still had a pioneer air about it Ma ny of the arts and sciences disci plines see m determined to imitate the professions, cloaking themselves in their ow n special languages and methodo'!ogies as prete nses to selfsufficiency. But in thi s way they rl.Wl the risk of being relegated to the status of second-class com.petitors on the playing field defined by the professions. In a n in tellect ua l world in which knowledge is no t O ne. and in whic h the Emersonian ideal of the Who le Man has linle power to att ract o r eXci te. it is understandable that the liberal arts and scie nces should increasingly follow what see ms to be the most viable alternative mod el - that of the professio nal sc hools. But in so doing they forsake their catholic o rigins and perspective for the relative security of introspection and self-validation. Thus in our cenliJIY the professio ns have achieved a when I VIS_lle d 11 l~st year: and o ne though t rather of growth and expenme nt auon than of traditions." The College of Arts and Sciences affirmed the liberal arts as thc _core of the University and the agent of its coherence ali an ante! l ect~al enterprise. From th at point on the history of the Umversn y has been close ly intertwined wi th th at of the Arts a nd Sciences: the developme nt under Chancell or Cape n of a un iq ue undergraduate curricu lum th at became nationally recognized: growth in the number of liberal arts programs from ten ~n 1920 to sixteen in 1932; the creation of a Graduate Sc hool of Ans and Sciences in 1939· the forma ti on within Arts and Sciences in 1958 of a' Unive rsi ty ~allege for first and second-year students: a nd , not msignifican tl y. the ge neration of still mo re professional sc hools. now by a process of se paration from the academic core.

THE DIS-INTEGRATION OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES Su rely a Diamond Jubilee is an appropriate ~=.J<.->. " "' time for reviewing eve nts of the past and for placing the presen t in historical perspective. But for a li ving a nd vi tal institut io n like the Arts and Sciences. a seventy-fifth birthd ay celebrati o n is a lso an appropriate time for looking toward the future - for trying to divine precise!~ where we a re headed. where we wou ld like to go. and wh~ we might do to alt er ou r present course. if indeed any such alte ration be call ed for. Man y of us have been heavily involved these past three yea rs with planning and implemen ting the new Undergraduate College. and with shaping a curricu lum th at may form the common core of the educational experie nce of all our unde rgraduates . And yet we do so wi th great difficulty, in s pite of the work of Samuel Ca pen. Julian Park. and others before us at UB . and in spite of th e con temporary examples of other universities all ove r the country. For we do o ur thinking in a time when th e vcrv pos~ibility of int egra ted kn owledge and well-rounded • intellect see ms lO have hecn los t. when knowledge itself has become so fragmented that it is no lo nger wi th in the co mpass of any single human being to know eve ryt hing. or even to know a great deal within each of the major fields of knowledge. This period of intellectual dis-integration had al ready beg un when U 8 began to consolidate itself a ro und its a rts and scie nces co re. In the las t 75 years we have indeed lost no t only the possi bilit y of broad and integrated know ledge in the Arts a nd Sciences: we have lost even the myth of it. Few if any of us clai m to be broadly educated across the Arts and Sciences, and th e several disciplines therein tend to go their ow n ways with relativel y litt le concern fo r. or co nnection with their fellows . peculiar hegemony in the int ellectual life of our universities. They have certain ly do ne so a t the University at Bufa lo. in s pite of its fundamen tal restructurin g after 191 3. and in spite of the best efforts of Samuel Capen a nd othe rs of his ilk and stature. Indeed. in the 1960s the College of Arts and Sciences itself was a bando ned in fa vo r of three separate Faculties: Ar1s and Lette rs. Social Sciences. and Natura l Sciences and Mathematics.

Practically none of us are drive n by the hope of being sc hol ars of the Arts and -a Sciences as such. IV. A NEW VISION OF INTEGRATION "To find the heroes of this process of intellectual integration, we must look to the Great Straddlers: to Darwin in the nineteenth century ••• and to contemporaries like Norbert Wiener, the founder of the field of cybernetics, and. to lllya Prigogine whose Nobel prize-winning work in chemistry led him to explore even larger questions in literature and philosophy •••• " Of course one might argue. in the manner of Lcibniz. that the dis·intcgration of the Arts and Sciences in the twentieth century. and especially in the past four decades. has been both beneficial and inevitable. But I wou ld disagree. I believe the present .limes cry out for a rc-integr<ttion of the Art s and Sciences. and for a reestab lishment of the intellectual leadership of the liberal arts within the academy. Moreover. I believe that such a resurgence of th e: integrated Arts and Sciences wi th in American highe r education is well within the realm of possi bilit y. However. a!l- we purs ue the hope of a new integration of lea rn ing fo r o ursel\'eS and for our st udents. wc: need to remind ourse l es of the obstacles in our path and th e limits of our possi bili ties. We cannot know everything o urselves. and we ca nnot demand the acquisi tion of universal knowled ge by o ur stude nts. Neither they nor we can even know a great deal in most fie ld s. Indeed, there has probabl) not been anyone since Goethe who could plausibly lay claim to knowing everything there was to know at a particular time. And ye t. tn acc~_ing the impossibility of un iversal kn o wled ge in our~n day we must be ca reful not to dis m1~~ those who attempt to be genuinely broad and versa til e thinkers the decathlon athletes of contemporary tho ught b it poss1b le to conceive of such people as o ur inte ll ectual heroes . and not si mpl y as freaks? I think it i~ tmportam that "'"try. If the foundi ng o f the College of Art> and Science> at U B in 1913 affirmed the unity of the Universi ty in relau on to us liberal arts core . what needs to be affirmed and e nc o uraged no v. is the reunification of the parts of that core. am ong themselves. even within the rca hty of an explosive e.\pansiOn in knowledge . There must be an integration not o f the a rt s and the scie nces. but of the arts with the sc iences. :..o that the _wholc becomes synergistic and interconnected . In the nineteenth ce ntury Emerson offered a vision of human wholeness in which he repeated the fable of the o riginal One Man . divided by the gods into many men. wtth man y occupa tions ... that he might be more helpful to himself." The One Man was. in the Emerson ian vision. 1n net:.d of being gathered back into his single transcendent iden tit y. That fable suited an era in which. as Emerson believed. the divisio n of labor in society was the chief threat to the completeness and unity of the human spi rit . ln our time, the threat comes not so much fr om our specialized labors, as from the nature and extent of human knowledge itself. Thus o ur id.al might be. not th e Emersonian One Man who individually incorporates all human capacity and ali human knowing. but instead the person who works deeply and productivel y in two o r th ree disciplines which are not co ntiguou s tn the currenJ geography of thought 10 Englis h literature and ph ysics. for example. or in pure mathema ti cs and anthropology. or in political sc u:ncc and music .

Rather . o ur pnn c1pal ObJeCt should be the unpredi cta ble release of intellectual energy whic h occurs by co nnec ting within o ne mind two widely se parated field s of tho ught. To find the heroes of this process of intellectual ~ntcgrat~on, we must look to the Grea t S traddlers: to Darwm the mneteenth centu ry. who hrought Malthusian economic t~eory. to bear on the puule of evolutionary change in the btologtcal world; and to co ntemporaries like Norben Wiener! the founder_of the field of cybernetics, who worked deeply 10 mathemattcs and thermodynamics and co~mu?i~tion thea~; and _lllya Prigogine. whose Nobel Pnze-wmna~g w~rk t~ chemistry led him to exp lore even larger quest tons tn phtlosophy and literature. 10 At the boundaries, at the pomts of interconnection between separated field s of knowledge . anything can happen . And even where there is not the reward of major d 1 ~co\cr\ there is at least the promise of a daring and excit ing ·· encou nter as we seek in our minds and so ul s to oven..·hmc the distance and sustain the tension between di sparat e td t as and modes of thinking. It see ms to ~c th~re are three specific ways in whll·h tho:.t of us 1n the Umverstty can nunure and encourage thereintegration of the Ans and Sciences.

About five yea rs ago we were privileged to ha ve on th t!! campus a special exhibit of some of the works of Leonard o da Vinci . As all of yo u know, Leonardo lived and wo rk ed about 500 year s ago at a time when Western sOCICt)' wa!l 111 the mid st of an explosion of art, science. and 1ech~ ~log~ Ouring various parts of his life Leonardo was a m1.htar~ enginee r. He became familia r with mechanics. stud1cd o pur' ... and wrote treatises on descriptive geometry. He aho ~t udll"d ph ysio logy and anatomy, along with color. form . a nd balance . The genius of Leonardo was 1hat he w~ abk 11 ' mtcgratc the!-.c disciplines in a marvelously sensltt ve anJ tn:..1ghtful wa> . A ~ a consequence he is remembered tnd.l\ '1' u ne of the world's most important artists - not JUSt 11 ' ' 1nt· 1 who created beautiful things. but as an artistic pi onet'r "h' had a maJ Or influence on subsequent generatio ns of art 1' 1' for hundred s of years. I spe nt many enjoyable hours looking at the wo rh ''' Leo nardo in this exhibit. Again and again I was l"_lprc ,,~.:d by the breadth of his mind . His was not a superfictal breadth . Leonardo was not a superficial engineer .. no r :t superficial anatomist. He didn't possess a superficaal . 1 knowledge ofyigmentation and color. He certainly wa!-.n 1 ' superficial antst. On the contrary, he was able to com prehend a wide range of ideas in gn:at depth. and bnn g them together in a way that serves as a paradigm for th e Ans and Sciences to this day. We in our time would do well to take Leonardo as our model. We should of course: continue to value academiC specialization, and the special intellectual contribution!o. of the professional schools. But all of us in the academy. irr~spective of profession or discipline, must work . ass tduously for the re-integration of the Anrand Science!~ . and for the re~tablis hment of the liberal arts as the coherent intellectual core of the University. 4D �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 Major face-lift planned for Harriman Hall cafeteria • Total cost of the project will be $240,000 with FSA and the University each paying half for the upgrade n-· By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Reporter Stal1 A major face-lift is about to occur on the Main Street Campus. but no physician will be opera ting. Harr iman Hall's cafeteria is about to be remodeled. ""We looked at the Main Street Campus and determined that the greatest need was in Harriman since the Diefendorf Annex (food service facility) will be closing ... said Kevin Seitz. director of financial and auxiliary services and al so secretary of th e Faculty Student Association (FSA). The annex facilities are not expected to close until the end of next semester . .. We looked at Harriman to see what would be th e best way to use the facility with the understanding that, in the future, Theatre and Dance will be moving to Am Kerst. The thought is th at Harriman will become the 'Main Street Student Union .' .. Already, Harriman houses several student clubs. especially in the basement. Down there is a recreation room , the Off-Campus Housing Office, and offices for Generation, the student week ly magazine. These are just a few of the student organizations centered around Harriman. " It makes sense to put money into this now, " Seitz said ... It 's solving an immediate problem and planning for the future ."' D iefendorf Annex used to be a major food service facility bu t its size has been scaled back because of space demands. Space there has been reduced because of the needs of the University for academic space. And Harriman had not had work done on it for quite a while. "We're gomg ahead on a renovation as a joint project with the University, the result of which will be to cast a totally new look in Harriman." said Leonard Snyder:-associate vice president and controller and also treasurer of FSA. Usually, FSA fina nces renovations to existing food service facilities by itself, but Harriman is a different matter. "We're really remodeling an old facility but since we're being moved out of Diefendorf Annex~ it's a larger project I han we normally budget for," Seitz noted. Total cost of the project will be $240,000 with UB and FSA each paying halL 2222' Floor plan shows proposed renovations for Harriman Hall. I I r _j - :. je,c_, -- l:'-. '' '" v~ ,... V ' , · "' v....i:.,"+ -~~~"> .. - '" ~ ~HALL- RENOVATION The renovation is more than just shifting some tables ... We're going to redo the whole dining area," Seitz said - ''new floors, new fixtures, gene rally fix it up. We're going to take the current serving area and make it dining ... In the main dining area, the wall will be moved back in order to make room for a new serving area. In addition, "what is now a ticket office. an office, and a bathroom, will be opened up for more seating." Seitz said . P art of the impetus to redo Harriman comes from a need for more upscale dining facilities ... Two other reasons for doing something are student programming and, also, the fact that the health scie nces have catered events. and there is no facility to accommodate them on the Main Street Campus," Seitz said. Good· year X is too small to hold so me of the functions, he reported. TO ON...G I FOOD 5enV:C:: "When Theatre and Dance move to the Fine Arts Center at Amherst, Harriman will become the Main Street Student Union .. . ." After this phase of renovation, catered events will probably be centered in the new dining area to be constructed where the serving is done now. Once the Theatre and Dance Department is moved to the Fine Arts Center. Food Service will inherit that space also. ""The plan is that the theatre wing of Harriman will eventually be turned over to FSA and will be turned into the catering area on the Main Street Campus ... Seitz indicated. T he renovation process has already begun. "The bids have gone out ." said Valdemar lnnus, associate vice president for University services. Seitz said that a contract will probabl y be signed soon. ..The contractor has done work for us before: the Rathskell er and the Student Club," Seiu said. • "The contractor will like ly begin (work) during Christmas break,'" according to Snyder. The project will probably take several months ... We: would anticipate it being finished in the spring semester. " added Seitz.

'" _,.,.,,._ _.._ he attitudes of Enlightenment thinkers toward women contradicted their notions of equality, freedom, and autonomy, political theorist Ursula Vogel said in a recent lecture at UB. The Enlightenment can be defined as the age of reason, said Vogel, a professor of government atlhe University of Manchester, England. According to such thinkers as Rousseau, Vollaire, and Condorcet, man possesses a unique capacity for reasoo, a capacity lhat "cannot be denied." Reason is connected to freedom and denotes both a capacity and a right" to make decisions, said these: Enlightenment thinkers. According 10 Rousseau, freedom involves being independent of any other human being, and "obeying only those rules and authorities which we have made ourselves." Vogel added: 7Jo renounce freedom is to renounce being a man." In the Enlightenment view, reason is also linked wilh man's capacity for progress and learning. Shared by all Enlightenment philosphers, these concepts of progress and "perfectability" stand against all previous notions of hu man nature. she said . They are opposed to the Judeo-Christian notion of original sin, for example. inked with these cona:pu of freeL dom and progress, reason naturally contains a strong ..critical drive," Vogel said. Reason is "a weapon to question aU forms of authority .... We accept only what we see as just or useful." Kant, for example, believed that even a "ben<:volent tutelage is the worst possible despotism." A prime targel of these attacks was the Christian church. However, the attacks were primarily directed at the church as a social and political irutitution. Also, the concept of divine right rule of monarchs came under siege. _ Armed with this critical drive, the Enlightenment theorists sought to change common ways of thinking and to bring about change through reason. Vogel stressed that violent change was alien to their way of thinking. In their view, education and enlightenment. not revolution. would change the political and social environment of I8th century Europe. The res ult, Vogel commented, was a utop ian dimension to lheir thinking. To men such as Condon:et, the future would bring equality between and within nations. Science and technology would bring equality, autonomy, and freedom to men. hat about women? _,___'" allWEnlightenment Condoroet stood alo'l" among thinkers in declaring K.,.: IOpM 01t1y lo - ___--,._,. ,. . ,. -I<K---.... --·,·c.-.__ , .

" In Frana:, women failed to gain any righu for political participation. While most males gained what was termed "passive citizenship," women (and slaves) were deliberately · denied these righu. Likewise, they could not own their own property, and they "couldn't take up work in their own right." These discriminatory practices and philosophies soon became codified in the Jaw establis hed during the period between 1789 and 1815. The Code Napoleon. which Vogel described as a summary of Enlightenment ideas and a framework for the emerging bourgeois society, granted the right of contract. Abolishing feudalism, this code eliminated all fundamental distinctions based on birth and rank. The Code's section on marriage Jaw, however, contradieu all or these funda· mental ideals, Vogel asscned. The relationship between husband and wife was to be on<: of "dominance and subjection," sinee the "husband was to be the bead and master of !be marriage. She added: This law entitled the husband tel&<>mpletely have control over the wife's freedom of mo't"ment. The result, she affirmed, was the "incapacily of the wife to act as her own person in public." A rguments were raised to justify these: actions. The "a:nainty of paternity" argumenl maintained that "only if a woman is kept under control can the husband be sure that the children she bean will be his own. " Underlying these repressive actions was a belief in the imponaoa: of some traditional structures. Vogel summarized the view this way: ..It is1 •• , in a sense, fundamental to the public order that !be marriage is based on lhe husband 's power over the wife." Men feared the destructive effect on society that equal rights and freedoms - irrespective of gender - would bring. abe ldded. Similarly, this unfair treatment was molivated by a fear of women's sexuality. Rouueau, for example, said that women could destroy men because of their "iDJ&tiable sexual appetites." Con· sequently, men and women were punished differently for the crime of adultery. The wife's ldultery entailed higher penalties in ternu of both fines and imprisonment than !be husband's. Other Enlightenment philosophers attempted to jwtify these policies. Defining marriage as ~a contract for lhe mu· 1ual use of the other person's sexual organa," Kant argued lhat one person in the marriage relationship must have sov· ereignty in the marriage relalionship to maintain iu unity. Naturally, that one person was the man. The failure or the Enlightenme nt th inkers to seriously question this issue, Vogel said , contra· dieu tbeir "critical drive" and their attacks on institutions that failed to meel !be standards of reason. that libeny, equality, and fraternity applied equally to men and women. "AU of our problems make no sense unless we granl to women equal rights with men." The issue of these conlradictions in Enlightenment thinking was largely The other thinkers, however, presented ~rbleakerpicturetowomen.

Aepo<ter Staff r you were present during the early years of the Athenian lot, you would have chosen your councillors by dropping beans into containers. If you bad participated in the electoral assemblies of ancient Rome, you .would have indicated your choice of candidates by dropping ballots into urns. But if you were one of the 40 I voters in the Town of Lockport on April I 5, 1892, you would have elected a supervisor and a gamc-<:onstablc using the world's first voting machine, the prototype of the machines to be used in the presidential election on Tuesday. The Town of Lockport. just minutes r rom the U B campus. needed a special act of the State legislature in that year to '' provide for the usc of Myers' automatic ballot cabinet." Had the earliest voters known that Jacob H. Myers. the inventor of the machine. previously earned his livctihood planning burglar-proof safes for bank vaults. few would have been surprised . There was a chilling resemblance between the Myers' ballot machine and the escape-proof vaults he designed. The "ballot machine" was actually a ten-foot square wood and steel room, the interior of which was illuminated by an oil lamp. Upon entcring[with some trepidation. no doubt), the voter confronted rows of levers; these were across from cards bearing the candidates' names. For the sake of the illiterate (19th century America having many such voters) . each row of cards was a different color. yellow for the Democrats. blue for the Prohibitionists, and red for the Republicans. After having pressed the levers of his choice. the voter slammed the cxjt door with all his strength, locking the partition door behind him and registering his vote. The " booth" was then ready for the I next voter. W Howard Mann, UB emeritus • professor of law, said this first usc of the voting machine did well to "parallel the contemporary development of the Austratian ballot, which listed the names of the candidates rather than Vqting machines They were first used in this region those of the electors." This added speed and accuracy to the voting and to the tabulation of the votes. The Lockport Union hailed the Australian ballot as well as the speed of the U.S. machine, noting that some voters took only 12 seconds to choose their candidates. On that fateful day, between 8:30a.m. and 5:30 p.m., a total of 401 votes were cast, far above the average vote in the town at any but a presidential election. Many voters claimed to be attracted by the novelty of the voting machine. The accuracy of the machine was reOected not only in actual voting but also in tallying the final count. Because there was a tamper-proof mechanical counter on tbe other side of the box, the reelection of supervisor John G. Freeman was announced within a minute j 1 after the po)ls closed. Inside of ten minutes, the successful candidates for all other offices were known, a rather incredible happening in a day when the counting of paper ballots was tedious and took many hours. If the almost univenal praise of the press, ·-voters, officials, and election reformers is any indication, Myers succeeded in his plan "to mechanically protect the voter from rascaldom. and make the process of casting the ballot perfectly plain, simple and secret." he N~w York World sent reporters to cover the "new-fangled device." HarMr's Wukly added that elections had often been decided in favor of the "side that massed the rascals." In the opinion of the HarMr's editors, the machine brought "purity" to the elec- T toral process. Townsmen praised the machine as "one of the great inventions of the 19th century," adding that "no well infonmed town will continue the expensive ballot folding system." Town officials were even more out· spoken. "It 8lJ8!81llCCS to aU a free and untrammclcd ballot; it puts a quietus on repeating every fonm of fraudulent voting; it compels every man to cast a secret vote, whether he wishes to or not;. it dis· enfranchises no one, even the blind and illiterate can vote without assistance; it assures quick and unerring returns; the voter can cast a straight ballot by pressing a single knob, or he can sptit his ticket; even many aged men, also crippled men. turned out and voted." Not everyone was as vocal · in their praise, though. The 11/wrrattd American charged that ... in some instances the exit locks failed to work satisfactorily and held the voter in the booth too long." The publication also complained that often "tall men had to stoop and fat men tighten their belts to enter." S urprisingly, national adoption ofthe voting machine was a slow and difficult process. As Mann pointed out, "the choice of voting methods is the decision of ~t.e governments and many questioned tbc constitutionatity of tbe machine.· Mann added that "some states desired unifonm voting methods - often there wcren' enough machines for the entire state ." Gradually, though, the demand for voting machines began to be fiiJcd and more states interpreted the Constitu· tion liberally, deciding that "voting by voting machine is voting by ballot." The voting machine is now used in about three-fourths of the states, with some states requiring that it be used in all elections. Essentially, said Mann, election day voting methods are accepted on the basis on their utility, combined with the American system r self-policing. He concluded: "It's amuing bow well it works - especially compared to other countries." CD New group considers i~ues of conflict & cooperation By MARl' E. RUFF Reporter StaH a hen should person coopcrate and when should he or she be selfish? These questions of cooperation and conOict resolution are the focus of a newly formed "working group." in the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy. "If you are constantly .thinking pf W competition in terms of dominance and capitulation, then you miss out on a lot of possibilities to build some sort of integrative or cooperative arrangement that will support or sustain the interests of both parties," said Philosophy Professor Newton Garver, who is spearheading tbe &rOI!P· C onsequently, common interest on the part of tbe disputants is essential-to the success of these "integrative solutions," be noted. "This is a J1<811118tic view, • be emphasized. "It really isn' moral. If you take a moral stand, yo11 don' need all the rut of this. You simply do what tbe moral precepts command you to do. There is, instead of that kind of moralism, a certain perspective on human life; that penpective includes an awareness of bow deep and bow different the conOicts between groups are." The relationship between the buyer and the seller exemplifies these notions of conOict and cooperation. It is based on what Garver tenmed antagonistic and mutual interests. The buyer is going to want more than just a low price; he is going to want quality and reliability as well. Similarly, the seller "just docsn' want to make a killing," Garver commented, "but he is going to want a kind of relationship he can depend upon ." The analogy extends to intcroational politics as well. "It's in the interest of both the United States and the Soviet Union to reduce expenditures on both nuclear and other armaments," he emphasized. This type of thipking can be instrumental in curbing the arms .race, he added. However, the idea of cooperation is considerably more complicated, Garver maintained. "There is no cooperation which · is invulnerable," he uscrted. "Every time you cooperate, you leave yourself open. However, people who try to be altogether invulnerable end up not enjoying tbc benefits of cooperation." At ffie same time, pure dominance will ulti- mately be damaging, be said. T his complicated nature of coOperation and conOict resolution can take fonm in what Garver termed a "prisoner's dilemma ... which is a classical problem in game theory. According to this problem , two accomplices to a crime are arrested . If both cooperate and refuse to confess, they can be convicted only on a minor charge. If both confess. their co~fessions arc not as valuable. Either person , however. can defect by implicating the other. and receive a lighter sentence in return. A computer simulat ion of this problem was developed by political scientist and game theorist Robert Axelrod . If both players decide to cooperate in this game, each is awarded three points. If neither cooperates. each receives only one point. However, if one player decides to cooperate and the other chooses not to, the player who defects is awarded five points. The winner is the one with the most total points. In a recent tournament. the winner, Anatol Rapoport of the Univenity of Toronto, did not win a single match. Commented Garver. "The reason (be won) is that it's a strategy which elicits cooperation and docsn' seek domination, and by protecting itself from exploitation, it ·succeeds in the tourna- ment. "That just blows your mind when you're thinking of chess, baseball. and football," he quipped . A practical application of this abstract concept can be found in .what Garver dubbed the "tragedy of the commons. " In this situation, farmers had a right to allow their sheep to graze in the town commons. If a farmer i nc~ases the number ·or sheep in the commons, he initially will benefit. However. if other farmers do likewise, any benefit will be lost because the land will be depleted as a result of overgrazing. The answer to these dilemmas seems to be cooperation. However. the cooperation should not bring about a state of penmanent vulnerability. According to Axelrod in his book Tlr~ Evolution of CooMration, -"don' be too envious, don' be tbe first to defect, reciprocate both cooperation and defection, and don' be too clever." This advice is useful in tbe realm of international politics as . well. Rapoport will be speaking on this subject of "social traps" and prisonen' dilemmas at UB on November 9. Concluded Garver : "There's an awareness that people who nourish in our human world.-m ones who find integrative solutions or who create wider solutions of cooperation." · .4D �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 Kinser brings 30 years experience to art_faculty post In his more technical classes, students attempt to integrate writing and design.

There, at the age of 12, a neighbor asked him to paint a ...quarter horse and some lcucring on his van ... The effort turned out to be an unexpected success in which Kinser received SIO and found his destiny as a graphic designer. After attending the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles from 195S-59, the artist sought and found employment in Denver. Chicago. and then Atlanta. He has worked in vi rtua1ly every branch of graphic design includil_\i.6onsulting. advertisi ng management . direction. and illustra tio n. his students• interests in classics and literature as useful to their future careers.

It seems that images are best when they are treated as nouns, because images are so concrete. Images work as support for tbe words - at least in my work." These images can be typography, illustration, or "photographics" {photography as used by graphic designers). According to Kinser, "they serve the same purpose; that is. persuasion and explanation." Kinser recentJy examined this mixture of visual and verbal communication in his book, Th~ El~m~nts of W~st.rn Typographic Style.

These clients, he says, "must rely on inventiveness because they don1 have the room for the mistakes big business can afford . It keeps me flexible. It doesn1 permit me to fall into formula." Kinser also likes the smaller assignments because they allow him to better define his audienct:. He appreciates the direct impact of local, as opposed to national, TV advertising, citing' New York's "Crazy Eddie" commercials as superb examples of audience analysis. It doesn' matter if the work is obscure or absurd to a general audience, he says, be<:ause the references are directed only to a specific group. But unlike the "Crazy Eddie" ads, Kinser prefers "work that seduce< rather than shocks, that tends to be quiet rather than flamboyant ." For this commercial artist, these experiences in small business have very "personal applications . Kinser handles one design. promotion, advertising, and general business activities for and is also a partner in a small manufacturing rmn, "Forever Toys."

SNYDERMAN "V Reporter SlaH (;I ou can't estimate how much they used, when they used it , or how much they smoked.

A doctoral candidate in pharmacy, Lubowski noted the widespread allen· tion now being given to drug testing procedures. "You can' pick up a magazine or journaJ without hearing about it. This is because of the increase in drug use ... she said. "It is estimated that 15 per cent of Fortune 500 companies have now instituted drug testing," she noted. L ubowski said then: an: two levels of drug testing, screening and confirmational. Screening tests use antibodies that cling to the drugs or the metabolites of the drugs. The amount of drug present can be ascertained by measuring tbc amount of ancibody left after it has reacted with the drug. Confirmational tests usc gas chromatography to determine if and how much of a drug is present. Lubowski explained. Chromatography is an analysis that uses a moving gas to separate out the components of the sample. If a drug substance, is present, it will leave a telltale "fingerprint." "What docs the screening and confirmationaltest tell you about a person? It tells you that the person has or has not been exposed to the drug," Lubowski said , cautioning her audience that the tests an: not capable of pinpointing such variables as frequency of use. How long a given drug will test positive after it is taken was the subject of a table reprinted by Lubowski. She warned , however, that the figures "are is said that fifteen per cent of the Fortune - TEfi'ESA LUBOWSKI approximate.

"Two-thirds of the THC is excreted in the feces." Lubowski pointed to some tests that reported that people who have men:ly been exposed to marijuana smoke can test positive for marijuana use.

(Though budgeted, tbese positions were not filled because of the increase in U D's institutional savings assignment for 1988-89.) Additionally, the University is requesting that the 1988-89 student support services ·appropriation be supplemented in 1989-90 by an allocation of$174,500.

Heroin is rapidJy converted to morphine. Mor· phine itself is a metabol ite of both heroin and codeine. "If you find just morphine. the person was probably taking it illicitly. If you lind morph1ne and codeine. the person was probably taking a prescription drug." Since morphine is refined from poppies, then: has been concern that people who eat poppy seeds may be fingered as heroin abusers. She cited a test that found that after eating 25 grams of poppy seeds, all voluntceB tested positive for heroin after three hours. This raised some concern about baked goods containing poppy seeds. But she n:assun:d her audience. "Twenty-five grams could easily be in a third of a cup but the person would have to eat a whole poppy cake" to ingest that much. S everal sticky legal questions, in addition to false positives, surround drug testing, Lubowski said. "The first issue is that of witnessed collection. You have to weigh the right tel privacy versus the integrity of the tests. " Lubowski said it is possible to add substances to urine samples that will make them appear drug free in the tests. "Sodium chloride (table salt) was found to produce false negatives in tests. Common bathroom soap has also been indicated to cause false negatives." However, tbe chromatographic assays won' be fooled , even iftbe screening tests are. "Once you have the confirming tests, they would pick it (dtllg use) up" because these are more sensitive. ...The next issue is · making sure you know who handled tbe sample through every step," said Lubowski. She said this knowledge is crucial to make sun: nothing is added to the sample and that the urine doesn' get switched. As a result, each sample must be accompanied by a sheet, which everyone who touches the sample is required to sign. Sbe concluded that tbere is nor much risk of false positives.

T The cost can be another drawback . Prescriptions may run SIOO a month. And after a while, a single drug may be no longer effective and the doctor may turn to a combination of drugs. " But when you consider what th is costs, the patient may be taking S200 or $300 worth of drugs," Kohn noted. • If the patient also happens to have hypertension or something else, be has $200 more of that medication. The patient must be very rich indeed.

" Kobn says he hopes that new cholesterol drugs will spark enough competition among drug companies to bring the price down. •u the patient is concerned about the price of drugs, the only alternative we can offer them is diet and they will have to modify their behavior and stick to that diet the rest of their life," he noted.

" You know the risks, and you've got to be willing to accept them." When to prescri be drugs is a very indivi duali zed thing , Kohn said , and strongly recommended a rigid diet for the woman.

South African magazine was unique . I By ED KIEGLE Reponer Stall twas a unique scene to see in South Africa in the 1950s. A ne wspaper office where charismatic. spontaneous black wri ters mixed with their white co-workers despite the tightening of apartheid by the new government. Described by UB's Dorothy Woodson as " th e best black African newspaper I magazi ne in history," Drum served as a means of expression for writers in South Africa during some of the most turbulent years of its history. Woodson. an associate librarian at Lockwood tibrkry, has recently pul>ilhed a book entitled Drum: an Index to Africa's uading Magazine, /95/-1965. The project was a natural outgrowth of ber extensive work in African studies, which focuses on the speeches and writings of Alben J . Luthuli, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1960 and one-time president of the African National Conference. The years covered by the index were, in Woodson 's words, "an extremely important decade in coniemporary South African hiJtory." Following the election of the National Party in 1948, there was a dramatic increase in the amount and severity of apartheid legiJiation. "During tbe 'SOs, there was a tremendous blossoming of the opposition press in South Africa," she added. '"The writings of the time included more radical rhetoric Shan anything seen in the West about Africa. • One of Drum's diJtinctions was lbe fact that ill writioa staff consiJted solely of black authors. •Most of the authors grew up in the townships," said Woodson. ·It was very dangerous living in the townships, which YICn: black ghettos when: non-whites wen: fon:cd to live," she continued. ·11 gave tbe magazine a certain appeal, because the writers drew from township life." T he magazine sometimes included exposes that examined "official abuses" in South Africa. Henry Nxumalo was a notable expose writer whose report , •Mr. Drum Goes to Jail," caused the government considerable embarrassment by expoci111 conditions at Johannesburg Central Prison. "He was later killed in the course of biJ work," Woodson remarked. "It wasn\ a political magazine , ~r u," she said. Actually, it was originally intended to be a monthly, non-political forum for black writen. • Drum had a diJtinctive style and flavor due to ill lifted aod creative staff of writen," added Woodson. In the early yean of Drum, about 150 short stories wen: published, many of which dealt with township life or lbe effect on blacks of tbe increasing restrictions imposed by lbe govemmenL • A number of lbe fiction writers went on to areat success," Woodson sajd , The list includes Ezekiel Mpbahlele, Can Tbemba, Lewis Nkosi, Todd Matsltikiza, and Nat N akasL In 1964, Drum faced increasing pressure from the gove111ment, Woodson stated . • After the Rivonia trial of 1964, free and honest reponing became diffi· cult if not dangerous. In 1965, Drum ceased being independently published. • Drum does continue, she admitted . "But it's a different Drum, controlled by the governmenL Jim Bailey, who was editor, was fon:ed out of business. • During the three yean Woodson worked on the book, she found it challenging to track down copies of Drum. "The original copies 011 microfilm were less than perfect - much of it was unrudable, "she said of the copies in the Scbombers Collection at the New York Public Library. The problem was that these were the only holdings of Drum in the United States. '"Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for lbe Humanities, I was able to travel lplook atlbe paper copies at tbe Rhodes House in Oxford, lbe School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, aod tbe Royal Commonwealth Society Library in London," Woodson said. There was only one olber big problem: "Use of pseudonyms." Woodson explained ; "Drum was a pioneer in the use of exposes to boost aales and expose official abuses. Many authon - such u Henry Nxumalo - put their lives at stake. • Another reason ror pseudonyms was the variable quality oftbe fiction . •Some of it was awful," Woodson confided. D eciding what to put in the index was not a problem, accordina to the author. •1 included virtually everythina. With the exception of advice to the lovelorn aod gardening tips. for example." The book · will appeal primarily to those interested in South African history aod to South Africans themselves. It will also be of use to scholan in the United Kingdom, which bas well-developed African studies programs. In lbe futun:, Woodson sajd, she will continue to research tbe opposition preu of South-Africa, aod is applyina for anolber grant in order to talce advantase of lbe collections in Great Britain. 4D �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 UBriefs UB's own teaching hospital I_~ .~. ~..1~ .~?~. ~.~~ce Jen reappointed to M&T Chair A Buffalo NrwJ article: that hinted UB mi&ht get its own teaching hospital c:ruted interest on campus laJt week, but the upshot i.s that there is almost no chance of that happenina. according to Aodrew Rudnick, president of the Greatc:T Buffalo Dcvt:lopment Foundation and executive ~eeretary ofthe Western New York Health Sciences Co nsortium.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

They add that the University's long-term policy for the distribution of tuition scholarships must be revised in order to balance the budget. Last year, J.he value of tuition waivers awarded in conjunction with graduate assistantships at UB exceeded the tuition scholarship budget allocated by SUNY Central by more than $800,000. T While the University was able to obtain additional funding from SUNY Central to cover a portion of that sum, a SSOO,OOO deficit was carried over into this year's budget. The Office of the Provost predicts that at least another $800,000 will be added to the ellisting deficit in 1988-89, leaving UB well over a , million dollars in the red. wo different plans to balance the budget have been proposed. As an emergency measure, one of these became Ull's interim tuition scholarship policy last summer. It states that tuition scholarships offered after July 20, 1988, should not exceed the in-elate tuition rate for graduate students of $1,075 a semester. The cum:ot interim policy balanccs the budget. but it bas major drawbacb. Ooe of u- is t1111 it makes UB leu -.:tM to out-of-ctate IDd foreip lhldeats. ~ ~. uaociale dean T of Enaineerlna, and John Ho, auoclate dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, said that the policy, if il we~ to become permanent, would cause a severe recruitina problem. Said Kiser: "A graduate proaram in science is always a national/ International proaram. It's the very nature of the profession. People move' around to get other experiences . . .. No university is "The current interim policy makes UB less attractive to out-of-state and foreign students. If made permanent, it could seriously affect recruiting." going to survive on in-state students and therefore we need a tuition policy to attract out-of-state students." English graduate student Robin Appleby observed that the out-of-state student who is awarded a$10,000 fellowship would need to spend over $2,000 of that on tuition. "You're talking $8,000. - That 's not much of an incentive - it's about the same as a regular assistantship at other universities.'" A cademic departments could promise to cover the higher tuition of a prospective out-of-state student for one year with the stipulation tiW tbe student apply for New York State residency oo<:c established in Buffalo. However, critics do not think the rccruitin&Problem would be solved in tbil -y. ·s---..-2 �October 27, 1988 Volume 20, No. 9 TUITION WAIVERS "In limiting the number of courses, we will limit professional preparation." "Most other • universities offer full tuition waivers with no strings attached. " "The plan should reduce hardship to a minimum for a maximum of students." -JOHN HO - DONALD RENNIE - DAVID WILLBERN Fi"t of all, as Appleby pointed out, prospective students from out~f·state may be reluctant to become New York State residents . One reason they may not wish to apply is that "other expenses are accrued in becoming a resident. New York State car insurance rates, for example, are much higher than in many other II ales." According to Appleby, there is also a rights issue involved . "No one told you when you came here that you had to become a resident ." Appleby uid graduate studenll recently received letten in their mailboxes telling them to apply for residency and notices adve"lsina "residency oeminars." Said Appleby: "These are preuure tactics ... makins it seem like you have to do this." Fu"hermore, foreign students do not have the option to become New York State residents. Thus, the current tuition scholanhip policy, if it were to become permanent, would greatly limit the ability of the Univenity to attract such students. Ho and Kiser said th is aspect of the policy would cripple their proarams. Kiser elaborated : "The job market for engineers io very llrong and a B.A. (recipient) can ge t a aood salary. Why should an American-born otudenl go on to graduate school? And the fact is, they don\. So what should the engineering school do? Close its doors because it doesn't get enough American 11uden1s to run its program? And if it closes, where docs the country gel its ensineers7" Graduate School administrators have acknowledaed that the present interim policy will make UB less appealina to foreign and out-of-stale students. "Since we want to continue to altract (these) students, we would be doing ourselves a disservice if we adopted the policy per· manently," said Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Education Donald Rennie. Realizing this, Rennie worked out another plan early this fall. Rennie's proposal restricts tuition scholarships to the minimal number of credit hou" for each academic program, regardless of the resident tuition rate. The proposed policy is clearly kinder to out-of-state students and foreign stu· dents than the one now adhered to, since u Rennie stated, it ·s "based on the academic requirements for the program and · not upon the origin of the student. • Rennie devised his plan after looking at the minimum number of credit houn required by UB graduate programs. "It so happens that all graduate Ph.D. pro· grams require 72 credit houn while most M.A. proarams require 36. "The rule of thum~that doctoral requirements will be mel In eiahlsemes· u:n while muter's will be mel in four. A lillie simple division shows a tuition scholanhip could provide nine credit hours per semester, enough for a degree." Rennie added that the tuition scholarship budaet would balance, "whether the scholarohips were given out at either the in-stale or the out-of-stale rate." irsl· and second-year &raduale stU· denll , however, often need to take more than nine credit hours a semester, especially in those programs where councs are wo"h four credits instead of the usual three. According to Rennie, his plan would provide for "G I" students, (those in the lint two yean of their program), who may wish to reaiJter for 12 or more hours of credit . Their numbers would be offset by "G2" students, who have been admit· ted to candidacy and can thus register for far fewer credit hours. For example, the zealous !i"t·year student who wants to take 16 credit houn could actually do so under Rennie's plan, provided there was a third· or fou"h·year student signed up for one disse"ation credit hour whose schedule could be averaged with his or hen. Rennie hopes his plan would "reduce hardship to a minimum for a maximum F number of students while maintaining the strength and flexibilit y of the Univer· sity and its attractiveness as a place to do academic work ... o, Kiser, and Associate Dean of Arts and Letters David Will bern all conceded that Rennie's proposal is better than the interim policy now in force . Said Ho: "We're much happier than we were three weeks ago." Each of the three, however, also had reservations. Kiser wondered about the bookkeeping involved in Rennie's propo1al. Since not every .. 0 1.. student is going to aver· age out with a "G2," how does one tell this student yes (he or she can have the extra credits), and that student no? And on what buis?" Both Kiser and Ho wondered about how the policy would affect recruitment. Ho observed that "most schools aive full tuition waivers with no strinas attached ... Likewise, Kiser stated that "our offers to students cannot he different from other univenities if we expect to compete for 1tudents. "Right now," he added , "I can' imagine what our offer lettm 10 students will look like this year." Willbern feared that in the Engliah Depa"ment, Rennie'• proposal, "if it restricted Ph.D. students to 72 credits. would have programmatic effects." He added : "In limiting the number of courses atudentJ can take. it will limit their preparation for the profe.,ion. The professional job market (in English) encourages people lo have a broad background." Accord ing to Provo51 William Greiner. graduate departments could alleviate such "programmatic effects" by .. reassessing how many credit hours they assign to didactic instruction . A course is worth four credit hour1 in one department while a course in another department that requ ires the same amount of work is wo"h only three. Why is there this credit hour disparity?"

Principal investigator for the housing project stody is Gary C. Brice, usociate director of the multidiscipliDary center, and for the other study, Arthur G. Cryns, Ph.D., director of the center and a professor in the School of Social Work, the center's sponsor. The larger of the two 'grants, $149,619, comes from the Federal Administration on Aging. As principal invcst.iptor, Brice will cstabliab a ~~*Wide "de:monstra· tion project" to train managcn of T federally subsidized low-income housing occupied by elderly tenants. The curriculum caliJ for examination of trainee (manager) attitudes toward low-income and minority elder residents: the training of manage" in the principles of normal 'VI . discuc-related aging; the need for Mease managcment," and skill development ncceasary to link residents' needs with community resources. The 17-month stody calls for a total of 25 one-<lay workshops in various regions of the sate for the Wgeted housing managers. Thc workshops wiU feature lectures, role-playing, and intensive problem-solving exercises. Thc goal, Brice explained, is for trainees to increase tbeir awareness of the needs of low-income and minority elderly penons and to become competent in networking needed resoun:es that are available to such persons. Cryns observed in an interview that social workers have discovered a tendency by low-income and minority ·elderly individuals to "u nderutilize " benefits and services available to them. This, he added, can result from lack of information, a lack of trust in the system, or a sense of ...militant independence." T he other research project, with Cryns as pnnc1pal tnvestigator calls for a State-wide survey to as~ the health care and social service needs of African-American elders. Funding for the amount of the one-year project. $92,576, was authorized by the State Legislature through the efforts of Assemblyman A"hur Eve of Buffalo. The project, favored by the New York State African-American Institute iit Albany, calls for a minimum sample size of 2,200 subjects, 1,400 from the New York City metropolitan area and th< remaining 800 from Upstate. ThiS subdivision, Cryns explained, reflects th< geographic distribution of Afncan· American elden throughout the State "with reasonable accuracy." "Elders" arc defined as persons 65 ye.,.. or older.

Last May, the WHO Assembly passed a resolution calling on member nations 10 avoid discriminatory action against AIDS victims, promoting, instead, "a spirit of undentandinx and compusion for HIV-infected people and people with AIDS, through information, education and social support programs."

"The basic idea of human rights is that every human person, whatever his or her situation or status. has to be treated with dignity and respect," said Virginio Leary, professor and associa te dean of the .IJ B Law School. "You don' make distinctions an d dif· ferenlialions in the way thai we treat people on the basis of arbitrary distinc· tiona," she added .

Vincent Cros by, a Roman Catholic priest who also addreased the Park Hall audience. In founding Benedict House, a T Buffalo residence lor up to eight AIDS patients, Crosby mel opposition at almost every step of the way. "I think that I have experienced the fact of discrimination from the very beginninx of this project. I have fought discrimination at every level, often not knowing what it was. Even as a profes.. sional, one is still susceptible to basic human fean and passions." Benedict House originated when Crosby realized. that individuals with AIDS were not having their basic needs fulfilled, a realization that began when several Catholic prieau refused to administer communion to an AIDS patient. "(AIDS victims) have a basic need for housinx and a need to belong 10 a community," he said. "I know the impor- Law Professor Virginia Leary (at left) and Rev.

" I uked them what makes us different from anyone else who moves in to a house. They replied that A I OS is a deadly dis· cue. I uid, ' I know th at, but I presume th•t you're not gol na to be coming in here ha,vl na sex with our residents.' " Si milarly, the ne lahbors accused Crosby of deee ptlon, si nce he did not notify the nelahbon of his Intent ions. "We're not secret," he insisted . " If we pretend we have somo!th lna to hide, we just perpetuate false notions.'' Some nelahbon were concerned that their children might come into contact with objects, such u ruor blades and needle&. In the garbage and thus contract the deadly disease. Nevertheleu, discrimination a&ai nst AIDS victims has occurred. Leary said. Discrimination againlt AIDS victim1 and axai nll homosexuals who have not tested positive for AIDS takes place in areas ranging from houai nx and lnaur· a nce , to criminal puni shme nt and employment. In one instance documented by the World Health Orxaniution. an AIDS· stricken employee of a larxe corporation wa• placed on paid suspension for two weeks. He returned to work to find that his status had chanxed from a regular employee to an hourly worker. The company had also advertised his job. In other cues, prisoners who test positive for HIV Infection are denied parole. according to Adam Starchild, an inmate at the Federal Prison Camp in Danbury, Conn., as quoted in a WHO publication. Allhouxh the World Heali h Organiz.ation has taken a strong stance against such discrimination, Leary commented that the WHO position is pragmatic, not philosophical. Protecting the human rights of AIDS patients will encourage them 10 cooperate with heallh officials, tance of community, so I decided to respond 10 that." The Roman Catholic Church was initially not receptive 10 his idea, Crosby stated. He commented that if the Catholic Church had provided him with an available facility , "it could have made my life a lot easier. However, I wasn' told that I couldn' do it. They looked the other way; that's all I wanted at the time. I considered it a great gift." Some of Crosby's areatell difficulties arose when he purchased a house on Buf· falo 's Well Side. In this mollly Catholic neiahborhood, he aaid, irrational fean were widespread . "They came in to tell us that we weren' wanted," he said. Some individuals made veiled threau, aayi na that "we won' be res ponsible If the house burna down." "They arew anxrier and angrier, because we had answers to all of their araume nt a," he said. Cros by wu able to chanse many of these misconceptions. "We have since then experienced a great deal of support from the community there. So there'! hope. Discrimination is there; h'l someth ing we mull deal with." The Catholh: Church has likewise become much more supportive, he said. Currently, Benedict House is providinx livina quarten for two individuals. .. No one is that anx.iow to come to us; so It's understandable for people to put it ofT as lonx as they can . "We will continue just by example lo dispel some of the discrimination which continues to make life miserable for people with AIDS," he said . "The community needs to be healed of the disease it has, which is an unreasonable fear of people with AIDS. This is even more deadly than the AIDS virus itself.. 4D receive special awards from UB a process of nomination, in 12 categories. There were three winners in one category and two in another.

It happens in most class settings." Girls suffer from unequal treatment By CHRIS VIDAL PubHcations Stall iris are treated differenlly than boys In the clusroom, and their education suffel'l u a ""ult. But teacher awareness, combined with some trainina, can combat the problem. This is the meuaae relayed by David Sadker, profeuor of education at the American Univel'lity In Wuhinaton, D.C. Sadker spoke here Oct. 21 u pan of the Office or Teachin1 Effectiveness' fall conference, "Sexism in the Clus· room ... Gender blu In clusroom interaction• is an "invisible problem " that beain• In elemenllry school and contlnuu throuah all levels of post-~econdary education, Sadker uid . G T o prove his point, he set up a "clusroom" In the front. of the Katharine Cornell Theatre audience . " I'm going to demonstrate the research and I'm going to make it blatant," he sa id. •eat ing hi s four volunteer "lludents." Collecting an imaalnary homework auianment from the tirat of hla four "puplla," Sadkcr complimented "Rachel" on her line penmanship and the neatnesa of the uslanment. "Leah" wu told she answered two quellions Incorrectly and her usianment wu handed back. "Dan" wu told that he had three Incorrect answel'l and Sadker suaaelled where he could look for correct answel'l in future usianmenta, addina"l know you can do better." "Bob" said the doa ate his homework, and after a brid dilcussion, Sadker told "Bob"to sec him after clUJ. A hlatory leuon followed . "Did you notice any biu7" Sadker uked hil audience after about 10 minutes of role playina. he fll'lt comment cona:rned the way Rachel was treated - or i111ored. By complimenting Rachel on her handwritina, Sadker uid, and then ignonna her, "I wu creating a profile" of the female lludent ~bo il rewarded for her pel'lonal appearance and for the appearance of her work, but not for its content. These students teod to become silent, pUiive non-participants, Sadker said. Sadker noted that approximately 25 per cent of any elementary classroom can be ciUJilied as "silent." In the college classroom, that figure iJ closer tcf 45 per cent, and at any level these students are "twice as likely to be female." More importantly, because these students are docile and cooperative, teachers tend to feel that "I don't have to worry about them and I don't have to spend as much time with them," Sadker T said. Another member of the audience noted that In the role playlna, while the male "pupil s " received constructive criticism aJter answerina Incorrectly, female students were told simply that their answera were wrona. Sadker said that his research hu shown that not only do boys receive more feedback on how to avoid mistakes in the future, they alto receive more positive affirmation of their abilities. • 'I know you can do better' is · said more often to boys than to airls," Sadker said. "This leaves girls with the notion that they just can't get it riaht." Overall, he added, male lludenu receive more attention both positive and neaative, from their teachel'l than female studeniJ do, in pan because of the way clusrooms tend to set themselves up. alf of all elementary school clusrooms are "sex segregated," with boys sittina on one side of the room and girls on the other. "In most cases, the students do it themtelves." In fact, Sadker added, crou-race interaction iJ more prevalent than cross-gender interaction. H To compound the problem, teachers tend to gravitate toward the male side of the room, and consequently, male st udenu receive more attention. He added that at the college level,Abe ratio of sex segregated clusrooms iJ one out of three. "And we're not even talking about nursing, education, or engineering," disciplines that traditionally attract more students of one sex than the other. A not her panicipant in the conference told Sadker that be asked "Leah" more limited questions than those be posed to the male students, and suuested that he looked at his female students differently, too. "Patronldnaly," Sadker confirmed . There also Is the tendency in the elusroom to have male students validate answers made by female students . Sadker demon1trated this point In hls "clusroom" by maklna a statement, and ukina Leah whether she •arced with him. As soon as she aareed, he moved the discuulon back to the male students. Teachers tend not only to focus more on their male students, they also are more likely to help them to succeed by leadina them to the riaht answel'l. He demonstrated this tendency by promptina Bob, who bepn clus with a mwina homework Uli&nment, tO &ive I series of correct amwen. "In 10 minutes I can take him from 'bad boy'to the star of the clus. Imagine what a real teacher can do in 10 minutes," Sadker said. Sadker, who hu spent 15 years researchin1 gender biu in clusroom interaction, noted that these patterns bold true regard leu of the sex or race of the instructor. "If I were a black female EngliJh teacher, you would see the same pattern. If I were a white male math teacher, you would see the same pattern," he said. The problem iJ only complicated by the nature of classroom make-up. "There iJn't a class in the classroom. There are three classes," Sadker said. irst, there is the class of kids with green arms - tbe active panicipants whose bands are up in the air so frequently that gangrene begins to set in, Sadker quipped. "That's a few kids," perhaps live per cent of the class. At the next level are about 70 per cent of the students, the nominal group, who F a.re allahtly anxious when !hey answer a question, and breathe a visible slah of feller when the teacher moves on to the next student. "What's left?" Sadker uked . "The silent ones, the spectators.• And who do you think, he uked , by race and sex are the most active students in the clusroom7 White males, then black and minority males, white females, and black and minority females . "That 'I the salary and Income levels in our society. You may think It's some kind of coincidence, but I don't," Sadker said. "We know intrinsically that biu is evil and it'l' bad ... .We know all that about race, but we do it with sex." He noted tha while airls score more hi&hly on achievement tests in tint grade, 12 yean later they are a year behind boys in math and saenc:e. "No other group comes into school scoring ahead and leaves 12 or 16 years later scorina behind. Until recently, we haven't seen it, and to some it still iln't a problem." Sadker added that research bas shown that girls who attend single sex schools show leu of thil tendency than girls who attend co-educational schools; with boys it makes no difference. S o what iJ the answer'l To charge students according to bow much of the teacher's time each pupil takes up? ... You meter your water~ you meter your electricity. Why not meter your education?" Sadker asked. It iJ up to teachers to work to prevent gender bias in their classrooms. "Teachers don't want to be unfair. You have to be more pr<>-active," be said. "Teachers who don't let their students disappear are more effective and their st udents do better. CD Attempts at hang tag forgeries unsuccessful, Griffin reports ttempts by students to circumvent the new bang tag parking system have been unsuccessful, according to Publi& Safety Director Lee Griffin. RecenUy some students have tried to duplicate the white faculty/starr tags by photocopying the blue student tags. "We have already apprehended some people," said Griffin. "1bcy (the fraudulent hang tags) are A very easy to detect if you look closely," he said. "And we will take appropriate action." "The only other problem with tbe tags is tbattbe process turned out to be much more labor-intensive than expected," he continued. Apparently, many people mailed in their applications, which caused added difficulty. He blamed tbe majority o( the kinks in the system on human error. ..Some people forgot to puttbeir ZIP code down, or forgot to sign their checks, or forgot their license plate numbers," Griffin remarked.

Howell, usiltant profeuor of art, tbrouab a SS,OOO arant from the National Endowment for the Arts and a $1,000 arant from the Fuji Corporation. The four cities were choaen, she aays, because they represent different aeographic locations, u well as unique architecture, climate, ethnic lnlluencea, and lifestyles. In addition, Howell notes that they have not been alven the national auentlon of Jaraer cit let such u New York and Los Anaeles. Howell's project , which will be com pleted In Auaust, 1989, Involves co nsiderab le h is tori c, photoaraphlc, architectural, and environmental reaearoh in each urban site aelected. She hu received the t101lve support of architects, urban plannert, teachert, artllll, art critlct, edltort, and urban historians In all four of the cities to be featured . More than 40 of them hive aareed to aerve u consultanll for the project and ranae from urban plannert and historians to a specialist In the ldlosyncrulcs of each city .. vernacular architecture. Howell's project wu developed to encouraae the appreciation of city life In today's youth. She saysthatlt iJ Intended to expand children 'I vision of the environment and pertonallty of tbe American city and to help them become sensitive and active partlcl panu in future urban life. Howell, a self-<lesc:ribed "lover of cities." says, "Unlike their European counterparll, picture boob for American children frequently reinforce a neaative imaae of city life." The result, she says, iJ that children the future auardiaru of our cities- take them for aranted and fail to develop a sense of deliah!_ in the richness and divcrtity of urban livina. F S ince picture boob are one of the f1t1t means of •nallina a child's lntelllaence throuah hla lmaaJnatlon , Howell'l aeries will be deslaned to lmpreu the cblld at a very early aae. In each of the four boob, a youna child (each of a different ethnic backaround) will have a flctltloua adventure that will brina him or her Into contact with the rich mix of people, cultures, and architecture repreaentatlve of the character and quality of urban life. The cblld·adventurer will explore the parks, nelahborboods, mus trarult, cultural institutions, recreational re sources, a nd commercial center of the city in question. Reader lntemt wiU be enhanced by the use of imaalnatlve paae folds to offer the element of vilual surprise. Howell's illustrations wiU offer environmental observation from many eye level• and pertpectlvcs to create drama. Upon completion of the NEA project, Howell expccll to have the books publilhed by a trade publilher and distributed to librarians, book stores, and sc:hools acrou the United States. She also plans to extend the series beyond the lint four. "Most American picture books reinforce a negative image of cities, posing a threat to the future health of urban areas.... " Howell maintain s that American picture books have inadequately reflected themes and scenes of urban vitality a nd the commonweal of city life although man y European authors have done so in ..a dynamic and exciting manner. They successfully combine whimsical adventures with lovingly created details of real environments and everyday life.

RUFF Reporter Staff s pari of a bid to bring the 1993 World Univcnity Garnes to Western New York, local organiztn last Saturday hosted Nicholas Rodis, secretary-general of tbe U.S. Collegiate Sports Council, giving him a tour of the facilities avail.able at UB. Specifieally, local organizen provided Rodis with a tour of UB's athletic facilities u well as the Ellicott . Co.mplcx, which could provide housing for athletes in an "olympic viJ1ase." '"We have a lot of great tbinp which make our bid very strong," said Ronald H. Stein, vice president for University relations. "I think be (Rodis) bas been favorably A impressed so far," said Bun AiciUngcr, senior vice president for government relations at Scrivner Inc., who has been spearheading the local organizing committee. "I think we've got a real gond shot at it." At a press conference at Pilot Field, Rodis said that Buffalo is one of two or three U.S. cities in the running at. th is point. He said the Raleigh-Durham and the Minneapolis-St. Paul areas were expected to submit bids befon: the Nov. 15 deadline. By the middle of December, the U.S. CoUegiate Spans Council expects to b.ave reached a decision. The resulting city will tben vie internationally for a chance to host the games. Rodis declined to comment on Buffa. lo 's chances. Nevertheless, Ro<!is was very optimistic that tbe games will be held in the U.S. "I think that the people on the international body have wanted to come to the United States for yean," he said, noting that tbe g.ames have never been held in this country. If the g.ames were held in the United States, he said, the overall visibility of the games would increase sharply. "We feel that there's going to be a lot more press coverage and television coverage not only nationally, but internationally. " It 's really a pit y that in this country, with all the great athletes that we've had in the World University Games, that people don' really know what they're all about, and yet we've been involved since 1965." He added: "Next to the Olympic Games, this is the most important multispa n manifestation that I know about." Between 5,000 and 7,000 athletes from I 10 nations would compete in tbe games, whole over 400,000 spectaton could be expected to attend, according to Aickinger. Rodis said the size of the Buffalo area is "perfect." AiciUnger maintained that tbe games could have a significant impact on tbe Buffalo area. The games would belp local pride as well as regional growth and development, he said. T he 12-<lay spectacle would take place throughout Western New York, with most e_vcnts taking place at UB, Buffalo State College, Pilot Field, and the Aod . Opening and closing ceremonies would be held at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park. The events will include ten maJor spans, including swimming and div•ng. soccer, gymnastics, baseball, t':"ck and field, water polo, cycling, fcncong. bas· kctball, and volleyball. In addition, sev· eral minor sports will be featured . Local organizers created a panel last, August to bring tbe World Uruversll l Games to Buffalo. In addition to Aock· inger, local leaden include ~ric Count y Executive Dennis Gorski, Buffal o Mayor Jimmy Griffm. UB Presideno Steven B. Sample, and UB Director of Atbletiea Nelaon Townsend. "We are com.mitted, both publicly and privately to receiving tbe lint Unoted States d.;.ign.ation in tbe history of the World Univenity Games." said Gorskt.

One hundred yeara later, the Democratic candidate could once aaaln win the populor vote but loae In the Electoral Colleae . Rhodebeck aaid thla poulbllity " has seemed very much in the forefront thla election year. II may recede aaoin if Buah'a poll Ieoda continu• to lncr<ue over Dukokis, but 11 one point they were very dose. • It becomes an issue when elections are very close Rhodebeek continued, repreaent the founders' aucmpt to be fair to the smaller, leu populated atates. And, in fact, accord ina to History Profcu or Robert Pope, they do aive the small states "a slight advontage within the colleae." if not enough power to make those s tates strateaically important durina the campaign. "For example," said Pope, " Nevada, which has two congressmen, hu four Electoral College votes, while a state twice as large, with (our congressmen, might have only six. " Each presidential candidate has a slate of electors (nominated by his party during ill state convention) repr<senting him in any given state. During the popular election in November, the voters in that state arc essentially casting their ballots for the slate of electors who arc attached to one of the candidates. • The candidate who wins the popular vote in that state then bas the privilege of his electors being the ones who vote in the Electoral College in December. T he Electoral Collcae wu buill into the Constitution by the nation's foundera. II renecta"that original federal compromise of the intercsu of the large states with thoae of the small that we see in Congreu," said Rhodebeck. Each stale is automatically allowed a base number of two electoral votes, she explained, which reflects ill rep~nta­ tion in the Senate. In addition, tbe state may have aeveral more electoral votes, tbe pumber of which corresponds to that of the state's representatives in tbe House. The second group of electoral votes, like the number of representatives a state has in the House, refleell ill population. Thus a densely populated state likeCllifornia will have many more electoral votes and therefore more political clout than a not-so-densely populated state like South Dakota. Those two gratuitous electoral votes, .. I n the individual states, Rhodcbeck continued, "'it's a winner-take-all situation. Technically, a candidate has to win by only one popular vote In a state to act all the electoral votes In that state." It Is this "winner-take-all" system that enabled elected presldenu such u Harri· son in 1888 and Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876 to receive a greater peountagc of the electoral vote than of the popular vote. Accordina to Pope, "historically we haven\ always divided up the vote in blocks. Some states did from the very begin nina. others didn\. But by the middle of the 19th ccntury,thc"winncr-takeall' system was fairly firmly established. • The obvious advantage of the " winnertake-all" system, Pope added, " is that it makes the electoral vote of a state more powerful than it would be if it were divided up." In the Electoral College vote this December, said Rhodcbeck , a candidate must win a 27()-votc majority of the 538 electoral votes to become president. If the candidate should fail to gain a majority, then the election goes to the House of Representatives. 8 oth Rhode beck and Pope cited the election of 1824 as a peculiar case where the election ended up in the Hou ae . "Th e popular vo t e e lec ted Andre w Jackson . He also won In the Elec toral Colle@C. but not by a maj orit y. So it we nt to the House, and J o hn Qui ncy Adam• was elected preal dent , embltterlna Jockson forever,"aald Pope. Yet for the moat port , he continued . the Electoral Colleac syatcm "functions aurprl• lnaly well. Only rarely has the .Electoral Colleae vote not reflected the . popular vote. "How people feel about the Electoral Collcac aencrally depends on which side they're on, or whose ox iJ aculnaaored . If you are a Dulalduupporter, the Elcc· toral Colleae probably doc1n\ make you too happy thi• year." A ccordlng to Rhodcbeck , one reat on the Electoral College 1yatem ma y work to Buah'a advantaae in thia election is that "the power In the Electoral Collcac favors the 'sun belt 'state• bccauac of a population ahift. These ata tcs, which tend to support Bush, now have 54 or SS per cent of the Electoral College vote (because of the shifts). This may be a somewhat simplistic way to look at (the election), but it's a very real political factor. "Other factors," she added, "arc very important also, such as the declining propensity of white minority groups to vote Democratic. Some of the old coalitional su pport groups, blue collar workers and Catholics, for instance. arc not as reliable as they once were. "What Dukuis has to hope for in the coming election is the large population of voters who arc still undecided. I'm very uncertain about Texas at this point," Rhode beck said, "and I don\ know about California (either). And of course New York will be key for the Democrats. It's critical for Dukakis to keep that lead." G Price, ads unreliable in picking automatic toothbrush rice and advertising claims are not reliable consumer guidelines for selecting an effective automatic toothbrush, according to a study by researchers at the U B School of Dental Medicine. The study showed that when it comes to removing dental plaque, the Water Pik Automatic Toothbrush outperformed the Intcrplak automatic toothbrush, advertised in at least one major upscale mail-ordct catalog as the world's best toothbrush. The Water Pil< Automatic Toothbrush sells for about $42 retail, or one-third the price of the Intcrplak automatic toothbrush, which costs approximately Sl20 r<tail, according to Sebastian G. Ciancio chairman and professor of period ontid at the School of Dental Medicine. P "The resulll show that plaque can be removed from tooth surfaces effectively with a relatively inexpensive automatic toothbrush, namely the Water Pik Automatic Toothbrush," he added. Results of the study, funded by Teledyne Water Pik, manufacturer of the Water Pik Automatic Toothbrush, were p~nted Oct. II at the annual meeting of the American Dental Association I Federation Ocntaire International in Washington, D.C. The 30 participants in the study served as _their own controls, brushing their teeth manually for one week before using one of the two automatic toothbrushes for a one-week period. Fifteen used the Water Pik Automatic Toothbrush for one week and the remainder, the Intcrplak automatic toothbrush. Panicipants. who were instructed in usc of a standard manual toothbrush, used the automatic toothbrushes per the manufacturer's directions. Since the study was double-blinded, U B researchers did not know which automatic toothbrush subjects used. C iancio said rcsean:hcrs compared the rcsulll of manual brushing and use of each of the automatic toothbrushes on the basis of three indices to determine bow well they removed dental plaque. The bacteria contained in dental plaque have been implicated in the process that leads to dental decay. "The Water Pil< Automatic Tooth· brush was statistically better than manual brushi ng with all three in.diccs, while the lntcrplu toothbrush was better for · only one of them, • he added. Ciancio noted that "although the automatic toothbrush by Teledyne Water Pik resulted in slightly better' plaque removal scores versus the Interpin in all three indices, differences in performance between the two automatic · toothbrushes were not clinically or statistically significant." He stressed that results of the test should not be interpreted as a recommcodation that . all consumers switch from manual brushing to an automatic toothbrush. The · Iauer product, he added, may be appropriate in the case of individuals who have a problem with dexterity or motivation, as we I as the elderly or handicapped.

In this, the fint opportunity of this acope for women playwriahts to cxchanac idcu, many spoke of their own beginninp in writing. These beginninp - and the common uphill strugales for many ever since - often were rooted in reactions against social, political, historical, theatrical, or sexual traditions. T E xtcnding greetinp to the audience at the opening scssion in the Maori languaac of her mother, Renee of New Zealand talked about growing up with a theatre lraclition heavily influenced by Britain, where she learned sonp about uh groves she'd never seen and read plays where women all were "nap, hap, and bap," or spenllhcir time languishing in English drawing rooms. AllcmpiS to express in writing her own vision of reality came relatively late in life. "It seemed to me, as I looked at myself and my life, and my country and the dramas in it, that 50 would be a good lime to stan writing plays," Renee said. "They bad had SO yean to provide me with a taste of my own reality and they had failed . The next 50 yean would be mine." In such plays as her hit musical comedy, Born to Cl~an, the radical feminist play· wright aims ""to put women center--stage; to record women's lives."' "I write with a sense of uracncy," she said. "\here are so many women who wait impatiently fortbcirstoriesto be told, forthcir sense of fun to make us laugh, forthcir pain to move us to tears, for their lives to hold us spellbound as we selllc back in our seats in a darkened auditorium ... o Subasinghe, playwriting is a way to articulate the female point of view in a country overwhelmingly male-dominated. The average Sri Lankan woman is illiterate and unaware of the larger world, she said. ln her primary role as mother and homemaker, she traditionally remains behind the scenes - yet sbc can wield tremendous innucnce over the family and consequently over society at tarac. It is · essential that her voice be beard. A prominent stage and SCJ;CCn actress in Sri Lanka as weU as a writer and producer, Subasinghe also struggles against clements of her country's Buddhist-influenced way of thinking. "In my life, I've been used to taking everything as reality," she said, -and to relaxing and being compassionate when facing a problem. But in Sri Lanka. it is a reality of turmoil. I just cahnot relax anymore.ft Playwright and novelist Alice Childress recounted ber own history, telling stories about her great, great grandmother, released from slavery at aac 12 clothed only in a piece of black umbrella.

"This difference in opinion bas brought me very serious problems sina: I was very young. I thought I had to change my glasses so I could appreciate reality the way they wanted me to." Raznovich, wbo has been living in Spain for more than a decade, was fltSt exposed to humor in her physicianfather's waiting room. "J thought my father's waiting room was a very funny plaa:; everyone was always laughing making fun of Peron and his wife, Evita.

"You protest because: yo u must protes t." she said. "yet even at the moment of protest, you lack fai th because you als o Ji1criminate. As such, the temptation to back away from problems ilmong." Sharma said India's lilt of problems il endless. and includes 1 centrallycontrolled government with a strong army. pove rt y. and fanatical Fundamental ism. " Many social issues keep cropping up and so we keep running from one issue to the other." she said, adding that the confusion spills over even into art. That is. there is pressure from one side to stick to trad itional art forms and an equal demand for realistic theatre. Sharma argued that the artilt must give up the former and embrace the latter. Traditional art forms empbuiz.e fixed concepts that leave no room• for addressing the here and now, Sharma said. "The emphasil on form in Indian theatre doesn\ represent the people. Tbe argument for the traditional theatre il that it goes back to our roots. Yet in doing so," she maintained, "we are negating what il happening today .... We prevent the problems and issues from being presented." A politically and socially ellective play, according to Sharma, il one that forces audiences to be aware of the contradictions prevalent not just in their nation but in themselves, thereby provolcing deeper investigation. • Just raising questions iJ not enough," Sharma advised .

Our voice~ cannot be silenced ." T ....What to do? ~ Repo<1e< Slan In 1 Sunday morning panel, women playwrights were challenged to look beyond their immediate concerns to a wider world - one that faces crucial issues in politics, economics, and the environment. Even so, several speakers agreed, the female piaywright remains constrained by prejudice. Tess Onwueme of Nigeria said the female playwright OVJSI find a "regenerative spirit" just rli the planted seed flourishes when properly nourished and encoUJ'&8ed . Tbe woman dramatist must mal<e a... conscious effort to "shake ofT" factors that would discour&8" her art, including any propensity toward idleness. Often the woman playwri&bt is a victim of cultural values, including a ""pervui"" male dominance. Sbe added: "The point ;, whether women themaelves are aware of their great potentials and can - and do - actualize them." Onwucme said she il determined "'to sprout, to seed, to flower. I know I must win, because I'm woiiWL" In an address that was flavored with wry, often biting. humor, Sabina Berman of Mexico described her father's reaction wbcn be learned she was joining a tbeat~ company. "How did I fail you?• he uked, adding that the theatre was peopled with "elleminates and whores." This was the reality of dreaming about the theatre in a macho society, she explained. Breaking into tbeatre, Berman once played a _prostitute, wbo, when the curtain rose, was sitting on Paul Gauguin's lap in a whorehouse in M "We are ready for a female shift of sensibilities. Otherwise, the planet will be uninhabitable. We have -to take the planet back as ours." idia Falcon of Spain said the feminist theatre in her country "bas no way to develop itself. Tbere il no support from private sources nor from the government. " And so, female playwrights live a life "lilr.c those of the resistance heroines of the Spanish past." The first 20 years of post-war theatre in Spain, Falcon said, contained such stereotypical characters as "the dishonored young girl and 1 priest who would give advice on family life." Sbe added that the "fascist ideology permeated the arts in Spain. .. even in the arts wriuen by women. ...Today, they still dream of bein& male writers. This iJ a logical ambition, if you think that success il always m.asculine." Wbat can be done? Falenn and ber associates eventually determined !bat they bad to enter the political arena as weU. In 1979, Falcon, who is a lawyer. formed a women's political party that was legalited two yean later. In 1987, this party and the Oub Y'urdicacion F~muwra presented the fust international program of fem.inilt theatre in Madrid. L (1-r): Muriel Miguel, lisa Mayo, and Gloria Miguel. the Native American sistefS ol Spiderwoman Thealer. Bai Fengxi of China: "Why write a play if no one will oppose it." Since female playwri&hts are very few in number, communication among them can make all the difference, said Hollingsworth. She encouraged ber fellow playwrights to corTCSpond when they have thou&hts about each other's work, and to communicate with editors wben they disagree with a critic's assessment. Onwueme added that "we arc endowed with the natural gift of procreation. We are the essence of the world, the salt of the earth. ... We bave been chattering lilr.e loocly birds in the wilderness, (when) we have come to sing in a chorus.. __ .Let us not ao away feeling oppressed.. . because of gender." This brou&ht a retort from Falcon who said "'the best feminist theatre...is that which is improvised by poor women ... denouncina the lives that they know better than anyone dsl:. .. .lbat's where the salt of the earth lies." merican playwri&ht Gretchen Cryer spoke last, noting her. "srowing concern" for pa.-ary survival She described a dlllllism between the material work!and spiritual awareness that bas existed for 2,000 YQrS- To see the world 11 somethiD& that can be appropriated and used, is eaentially a male concept, she said. Women, as shown tbrou&h their ability to give birth, are connected to the "''iviQg process. • She commented: "I tltink we are ready for tbti female shift of iensibilitics. Otherwise, the plaoct will be uninhabitable. We have to take the plaoct back as A ours."

The paper, "Commercial Processing Efficiency: A Program Elaboration Model," was written by Kenneth R. Lord, assistant professor of marketing bere, and Roben E. Bumkranl, a faculty member at Ohio State University . The paper discusses bow viewers' involvement in a televisiotJ program affects their response to commercial messages. Lord and Burnkrant propose that program involvement interferes with viewers' ability to thoroughly process commercial information. Such interference may help or hurt an advertiser, depending on viewers' prior attitudes toward the advertised product, they say. • A commercial which is coruistent with the viewer's prior .beliefs and values may elicit positive thoughu which reinforce or strengthen an eXisliD& attitude," the paper slllel. "If program elaboration A - ongoing thinking about the program - were to interfere with the generation or such cl>mmercial-relevant thoughu, it might inhibit persuasion. • Alternatively, a counterattitudinal message may result in negative thoughts ... which are contrary to the advertiser's intercsu. The suppression of those thoughu may enhance persuasion." The autbon suggest iruening an attention-getting device at the beginning of a commercial as a means of overcoming undesirable program elaboration effects. A novel, dramatic or unexpected sound or visual image should tum viewers' thoughts away from the program and refocus them on the commercial message, they say. The paper was one of 125 presented at the AMA conference. A blue-ribbon panel of prominent marketing scholan selected it as the best of 23 papers dealing with coruumer behavior. Lord, who holds a doctorate in marketing from Ohio Slate, joined the UB faculty in 1986.

Called the Buffalo Research lnllilute on Education for Teachlna (BRIEn, the unit is a result of two years' deliberllion by the Holmes Study Group of FES. The goal of BREIT, accordinato the newslener article, is to develop a ~olle­ gium of faculty from FES, the arts and sdences, and the local schools, who will work together on research and teacher education program development. The current teacher education proaram is now part of the innitute&J both a laboratory and a model for the advancement of teacher education and teaching. According to FES Dean Hugh G. Petrie, "BRIET will put us in the vanguard of research and experimentation" in this field . Two initial BRIET activities are "especially noteworthy," the FES Newsletter n:ported. One is a clinical {!cuhy proaram which will bring outstanding, experienced teacbers from the Buffalo and Williamsville school districts to UB approximately I0 hours per week u coinstructors of teacher education courses A and action ~ carchen within BR IET. Tho aoal he~ Is to botll "provide chal· lcnalna profcsalonal development oppor· tunltles for clinical faculty and atlmulatc reform of UB'I teacher education pro· aram,• the newalcner article aaid . The econd activity Is collaborllive development of an FES-arta and scien· ces propoaalto create experimental con· tent pedaaoiY courses for prospective teachers., As proposed, these courses would pair arts and sciences faculty with FES faculty in jointly tauaht aeminars for prospective teachers that foster reflection on the teaching pr'bc<:ss itself and on decisiona usociated with effectively teachina the taraetaubject maner. Professor Catherine Comblelh has been appointed director of BRIET. Holding the M.A. and Ph.D. in curriculum and inatruction from the University of Texas, Combleth came to UB in 1986. Profesaor Richard Salzer, an usociate professor in the Department of Learning and Instruction, will serve u auociate BRIET director for proaram, and Professor Eleanor Farrar. author of Shopping Mall High School, and an associate professor in the Department of Educational Organization, Administration, and "Policy will be the usociate director for {Cjtartb .

It was thought immoral, incredible, and irreverent following its first performance in Vienna in I 790. Mozart's twC>-act opera, "Cosi fan tune" tells th e story of Fenando and Guglielmo, twO you ng officers who mm a bet with a cynical friend Don Alfonso that their fiancees, the sisters Dor.tbella and Fiordiligi. will be faithful in their abse nce. Mter a fake farewell, the officers return as wealth y "Albanians" and proceed to woo each other's lm·ers. II works. But the triumph ant Don Alfonso makes it all tum out right iil the .__ _ _____. end anyway. Nineteenth century productions of "Cosi fan tuue" saw the story adapted ("improved") and the libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte replaced with one supposedly more realistic.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Knox, national campaign chairman. Knox is chairman of the board of Marine Midland Bank. This $15.6 million achievement announced this week is almost double the $8 million in gifts and pledges made prior to the campaign's kickoff last Oct. 19, the day the stock market plunged over 500 points and sent financial markets into a near panic. "This was a most difficult time to launch a campaign of this magnitude, but we have more than surpassed our expectations and we are confident our goal will be attained," Knox said. "We also believe that awareness is growing in the private sector of the importance of the University to the economic development of Western New York." According to recent national surveys, gifts to colleges and universities have fallen off in 1987-88 for the first time in over a decade. However, the UB fundraising program is bucking the trend and is well ahead of all prior year achievements , in spite of the stock market plunge. " We applaud the generosity and dedication demonstrated by our loyal supporters thus far in this ' campaign," Steven B. Sample, UB president, stated. • See $1~ mUiion, page 2 �October 20, 1888 Volume 20, No. 7 $15 MILLION _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!::._ _ _ __ "The success of this campaign is very important to achieving our goal of becoming one of the nation's top ten public research universities by the end of the century." LARGE GIFTS REPORTED The S 15:6 million includes four endowed faculty chai rs of Sl million each, 15 graduate and postdoctoral fellow· ships totaling $1.8 million , 32 undergraduate scholar· s hips totaling S 1.8 million. a S I million endowment for fine ans programming. $410,000 for th e University Libraries' poetry and ra re books collectio n. $745,000 in unrestricted endowment, and $5.5 miiJion in gifts for other Universi ty needs. Several large. gifts from co mmunity leaders. corporatio ns, faculty. alumni, and friends have highlighted the first year of the cam paign. including several gifts of S I million. For example. a SJ million endowm ent to th e Fine Arts Center has been received from the Seymour H. Knox Foundation . Also , two an onymo us gifts of Sl million each and a Pharmacy !OOth anniversary celebration; a SI,IOO,OOO commitment by the Baird Foundation; two anonymous gifts of S I mill ion; aS I million gift from De aware Nonh Companies; an anonymous pledge of S500,000; and a si milar pledge by Dr. Mark Welch of Rochester, N.Y., the oldest living alumnus of the UB School of Medicine. A S300,000 gift from the Margaret L. Wendt Foundation provided critical money to help the University meet stan-up ca.ts of the campaign . QUIET PHASE "This is the quiet phase of the campaign when we are talki ng with selected leadership and major gift prospects, " according to Joseph 1. Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation. "Since January when the stock market settled down, we have almost doubled the amount of gifts and pledges, and have surpassed the fund-raising achie·1ements of any institutional campaign ever held i,, the history of Western New York." The priorities of this $52 million fund-raising cffon focus on programs and needs for which State funds are limited or not available. These needs include 25 endowed faculty chair.., eight endowed professorships, 30 graduate and postdoctoral fellowships, and 50 additional undergraduate scholarships. Funds also will be used to su ppon programming in the Fine Ans Center on which construction will begin in 1989 and to enhance the Libraries' special collections. In addition. unrestricted funds are sought for unusual sit uations and unexpected opponunities as they arise. ~ccording to President Sample, .. private gifts repreSC'rn the vital margin of excellence that distinguishes a great university from the ordinary. None of the ~reat public universities of this country such as Michigan, Illinois, Texas or California, have achieved their distinction with state fund s alone," he added. This year State suppon of UB is SI60 million, or approximately 53 per cent of the University's $300 million operating budget. TOP LEADERSHIP bequest of more than $900,000 from the estate of UB History Professor Milton Plesur have all provided early leaders hip to the University's fund-raising effons. Already more than $633.000 has been received from UB faculty and staff members. although active solicitation of the Universi t y family is not scheduled to begin until February 1989. Included amo ng advance gifts were pledges totaling more than S800.000 in connection with the School of Leadership for the campaign includes many prominent members of the community s.uch as Seymour H . Knox, Robert E. Rich , Sr., and Edwin F. Jaeckle, who are honorary chairmen; Jeremy M . Jacobs, M. Robert Koren , and Roben G. Wilmers, all of whom are cochairmen; Richard E. Heath, J o hn L.

' IIA.IOR ECONOMIC ~IIPACT The economic impact of the Univcr.lity in Western New York is massive, campaign organiurs emphasize. The University provides jobs for more than 13,000 full-time and part-time faculty and staff, and its payroU exceeds Sl25 million a year. The Univer.lity currently has 49 research centers and institutes on campus, and $70 million a year in funded research is conducted under th e auspices of faculty. With more than $800 miltion in construction spent since 1972, and considering the purchases of goods and services each year by the University, its employees, students and visitors, the University represents the largest single factor in the economic life of the entire Western New York region, campaign sources note. UB FOUNDATION The UB Foundation (UBF) was established in 1962 at the time of the merger of the private University of Buffalo with the State of New York university system as a not-for-profit corporation to solicit and administer gifts to the University. Today, the UB Foundation is involved in a broad range of activities in suppon of the University's academic mission. In addition to the Capital Campaign, these include: • Annual Fund Drive - Over and above the specifics of the campaign, UBF solicits and administers gifts to all the schools and faculties of the University from alumni and friends. raising slightly more than SJ million each year. • Baird Research Center - A planned 200,000 sq . ft. research park, the first building of which will be dedi cated Jhis fall, is a 40,000 sq. ft. high-technology incubator facility. Subseq uent additions to the center call for special institu tes which U 8 operates under grants from the State such as the Superconductivity Institute and the Center for H:turdous Waste Management. • Privott Rtsearcb Grants 1U1d Contracts - UBF is the primary contracting agent for research and development performed by University personnel on University propeny on behalf o( private sponsors. • Puce! B Dndopmtnt - A proposed commem.l complex to include a hotel. academic conference center. retail stores, and restaurants on a 16-acre parcel of land in the middle of UB's north campus. Ground to be broken in 1989. • Fraternity-Sorority Pork - Land adjacent to the campus to be developed in the ncar future for fraternity and so rority houses. • Pftiftr Thtolrt - a gift from the Pfeifer Trust in 1985 enabled the UBF to purchase and restore the Old Ce nter Theatre in the downtown theatre district to serve as a showcase for UB's Theatre and D ince Department. Since its founding, UBF has provided more than $107 million for University programs in teaching, student aid. continuing ed ucation , and public service. 4D Lilly Fellows plan eight teaching-centered projects inners of this year's Lilly fellowships come from depanments as' diverse as Engineering and English. Their awards will cover projects such as an apprenticeship program, a computer ga me. and videotapes. And every one of their projects aims to improve th e quality of undergraduate teaching. Eight projects. each carrying an $8,000 price tag, are being developed this year _ by selected UB faculty members. The funds, courtesy of the Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellows program, make it possible to develop new courses, modify exjsting ones. or develop new teaching skills and strategies. "The fellowships are designed for the non-tenured faculty member who wants to get a handle on teaching and needs financial support and time to do it," said Norma Henderson, assistant director of the Office of Teaching Effectiveness (OTE) which administers the program. A committee of faculty chose the fellows from a field of 31 applicants. The feUows receive released time and/or summer salaries so they can concentrate on their projects; their award money lS used for such things as travel to other universities with similar programs, purchase of computer software or audiovi- W sual materials, or as salaries for part-time instructors or graduate assistants. T his year 's winners and their projects are: • Raj S. Acharya, assistant professor; R. Sridhar, assistant professor; Shambhu J . Upadhyaya, visiting assistant professor. Electrical and Computer Engineering: Develop an interactive workstation laboratory facility to supplement the teaching of graphics and image processing and very large scale integr@-tion. Involves installing existing software packages and developing in-house special purpose packages; three new undergraduate courses will be developed. • Joseph F. Atkinson, assistant professo r, Civil Engineering: Develop a set of videotaped laboratory demonstrations to be used in a hydraulic engineering course. This is intended to provide broader exposure to the field of water resources and envir-onmental engineering, and also enliven the teaching and learning of the course. • Carl R. F. Lund, assistant professor, Chemical Engineering: Develop a computer game demonstrating methods of reactor design problem solving. The game, to be played by students outside the classroom, wiU supplement the course in kinetics and reactor design. • Jill Robbins. assistant professor, English: Develop two interdisciplinary undergraduate course s focusing on the relationship between ethics and literature ... Literature and Ethics .. will give a broad introduction to the issues, while "The Writ ing of the Holocaust" will focus on specific ethical questions and problems. • Trisha Sandberg, assistant professo r, Theatre and Dance: Develop a master-apprentice project in which a student apprentice works side by side with an actor-teacher-mentor on preparing a role which the mentor eventually performs on stage. • Kenneth J . Takeuchi, [ISSistant professor, Chemistry: Create a videotape series of "Living Treasures in Inorganic Chemistry," enabling students to identify with the human character of chemistry. Several chemists with unusual :perspective into the creative process in chemistry will be brought to I'" •o discuss their theories with studenu, the discussions will be recorded on video for use in fut ure chemistry classes. • Paul A. Toro, assistant professor, Psychology: "Bring to Life" the Rerearch Methods in Psychology course. Includes providing students with opportunities to participate in an ongoing research project at UB or in the community. • Margarita Vargas, assistant professor, Modern Languages and Litcratu~ : Develop a new interdisciplinary course on Spanish·American women playwrights, "The Female Voice in SpanishAmerican Drama and Society." F all and spring conferences organized by the Lilly Endowment Inc. enable all fellows to meet faculty from other universities who are also interested in teaching effectiveness. Fellows 'are also provided with opportunities to interact with new colleagues from other disciplines and with faculty identified as outstanding teachers, such as the CbanceUor Award recipients. In addition to UB, the following universities participate in the fellowship program, established in 1974: Univer.lity of Alabama, Uoivenity of Maryland, Univenity of Massachusetts at Amber.lt, Univcnity of Pennsylvania, Uoiver.lity of Pittsburgh, and State Univenity of New York at Stony Broolt. Johns Hopkins University is expected to join the program next year.

The i nflu enz<:~ virus wo uld invade the bod y. bur o nce inside. would be prevented fr om reprod ucing to any large extent.

A foundi ng chairman of the Mount Si nai School of Medicine. Kil· b o urne is a d istingui s hed professor there and is a me mber of the National Academy of Sciences. Ki lbourne ex.plained that co nventional vacci nes use an attenuated (weakened) or non-virulent vi rus. The weakened virus ca n repli cate a great deal in the body. but each individual virus panicle is changed so mehow so that it can't cause disease. In Kilbourne 's approach. a single. purified protein of the virus is used . This protein, called neuraminidase. forms a differenl kind of an tibody. Instead of tryi ng to kill off the innuenza virus as it anacks the bod y. lhese an libodies allow the virus in. but keep it from replica ting. Sludy by U B"s Pearay L.

"Bur i1 showed the ap proach is feasible . That's th e lesson I rook away.·· Using the single purified protein, which wasn't available when Ogra's sr ud y was done aboul 10 years ago. may help ove rco me so me of the drawbacks of the earlier vacci ne, the visiti ng scie ntist noted . All of Kilbou rne's work with the si ngle purified protein has been done in mice. The ne xt step is to begin studies in humans. It may be two , or more realisti cally, three years before a vaccine is on the market, he emphasized. " We've had encouraging preliminary results, but it's not for tomorrow's use in man ," he ca ut ioned . T hough people so merimes confuse the two, influenza is not the common cold . Influenza is a highly signific ant disease. Kilbourne explained , because it paves the way for pneumonia which can prove fata,l.

"Tho people somet1mes confuse the two, influenza ·is not the common cold; it is a highly significant disease because it can lead to pneumonia .. .. - EDWIN D.

Their reunification is a topic that most younger Germans don't discuss originally published in German and translated by him the day before . In it, he described the events leading up to the division of German y into two se parate states. "'The Cold War allowed only an either/ or decision to be made ... Klessmann said . "After the Marshall Plan (which stabilized the West German economy in I ~48), the division of Germany appeared unavoidable ... He listed several "points of deep upheaval" in Germany that led to the division in 1949. Among these were terri~ torial changes (Germany lost 23 per cent of its original area in 1945), economic interventions in theSoviet Zone , and the Allied program designed to eliminate the traces of the Nazi regime. Further tension re s ult ed from the isolation of East Germany that began in 1952 with the establishment of a three-mile wide strip of guarded land between the two countries and ended in 1961 with the constrtlction of the Berlin Wall. According to Klessmann, the 1960s saw a change in the West German view of East Germany. "There was a new discussion regarding the past," he said . "West Germans decided to give up ignoring the second German state. "In my opinion there can and should A GERMANY DMDED I be a possibility for coexistence and peaceful competition between the two countries." he added. "Hopeful signs of change can be noticed. That Germans from the East and West are in Buffalo discussing German history belongs to those hoper ul signs."

In the future, we must work from the assu mption th at there are two German states trying to clarify their relationship ... T urner spoke from a more theoretical angle, noting that there is a "quest for legitimacy" occurring in the minds of scholars in the .two countries. He said the problem was complicated by the fact that East Germans have access to West German television and radio stations: ..They can see the West in all of its material prosperity on TV every day." Lately, changes have occurred in East German society, according to Turner. He cited the increasing number of people allowed to travel to the West. "Pre- viously, westward travel was almosL always denied unless you were past age of retirement,... he said. "Lately there has been a di vision in West Germany ... the polar positions of which are those who believe that the primary task is reunification, and a growing sector of 'thoughtful West Germans,' who do not believe that will happen - who believe it is counterproductive to talk about reun ification," he stated. Whe~ asked which positi on is ~ost realistic, Turner responded that the latter one is. KJessmann commented that members of the older generation, "which bas a more intensive identification with the old Germany," are more likely to suggest reunification. He added that "most older people see that reunification is not acceptable for Germany or its European neighbors." • Meinicke remarked that the younger generation at his university does not discuss the issue of reunification. "The main discussion deals with ..recent changes in the Soviet Union - democratization," he said . ..There is much less discussion about reunification than about how the relationship between the two Germanies can be improved . I n the ensuing discussion, the speakers for the afternoon session, Jorn Rusen of West Germany and Wolfgang Kuttler, East Germany, voiced their opinions. Rusen remarked: " We shouldn't look at old conflicts instead of lookjng forward to new chances, although the new ways may involve risks." lggers concluded the discussion on a positive note ... We are at the point where there is an increasing community of minds," he said. "We should think not in terms of two different political camps. but in terms of people of a common culture."

Fo uryear engi neering degrees such as those o[[c red by UB are educational programs; th at is, stud ents of engin ee ring must stud y in the natural sciences and math em atics befo re they ca n enter the e ngi nee ring progra m. The two-year tec hno logy programs may be called train ing programs because they offer technology with out a breadth or educat ion in the basic sciences. Engineering techn ology program s fall somewhere betwee n the two and vary q uite a bit from school to school. At the heart o f an engineering edu cati o n is the creative ability to solve pro blems and a co nce rn fo r the develo pment of new o r imp roved analysis o r the design of processes and new products. T ypical engineering prod ucts are o ne-of-a-kind (a suspensio n bridge, a space veh icle. etc.) or ma"ny of the same kind (co mputers , cars. etc.). The edu cati o n of enginee rs emph asizes decisio n- making based , oftent imes, o n inco mplete info rmation. Enginee rs deal with nature, with safe ty co nsid eratio ns, with hum a n preferences, and with changi ng societal needs. Mo reover, engi neerin g decisio n-makin g o ften is subjected to constrai nts, for example. ti me. econo mics, and po litics. Enginee ring educati o n contains five basic co mpo nents: science. mathematics, humanities and social sciences, modeling a nd analysis, and design. En gineering design is perhaps most important. It is where the creative use of scientific knowledge is integrated with trade-off analyses and decisionmaking under constraints which include insufficient information. Design is the overall umbrella for processes and 1or end products, embracing the other [our components. While engineering analysis is a scientific process, engineering design is both-a scima: and an art. B ccause the U.S. is an industrialized nation, the continued demand for engineers bas been strong.

In the following paragraphs so me ideas are advanced as impo n ant agenda items fo r U B's Facult y or Engineering and Applied Sciences ( F EAS) to pu rsue [or the next several yea rs. Undergraduate Education B ecause o f the rapid expansion o f knowledge, undergraduate education has faced a maj or dilemma in recent years. Educato rs have had to decide what important 4nd relevant ingredient s a student mus t absorb in a program limited to four years. To address this problem, several universities have implemented five·year B.S. programs but most of such efforts have failed . In the next several years engineering educators will have to reth ink the contents or their four-year engineering curricula. Researchoriented universities most likely will deemphasize specific applications at the undergrad uate level, leaving them to m~ter-level engineering practioeonent~ programs in a ftfth ye~r. Laboratory instruction will be modified ~ mod~m information processing and s1mulatton techniques are developed . There will be massive use of computers and workstations, not only for .problem-solving, but also as an intrinsic part of the education process.

Our of engineering (M.E.) degree does this. It is quite probable that a doctor of enginee ri ng degree will be added to the practice track. The M.S. .and Ph.D . track has had a lo ng and successful trad ition in engineerin g education. However. because of a desperate"need for engineerin g [acuity in the U.S. - and indeed . wo rld-wide - the Ph .D . program must pay more attention to developing teachmg sk1lls (again, communication !). The new and exciting challe nge to graduate engineering educatio n at UB lies in the imaginative deve lopment of the M .E. programs. I put th is goal o n my agenda for the ne xt seve ral years. Basically, the M .E. is similar '" scope to the M.B.A. offered by the School of Management: the teaching engineering practice or the a pplication of knowledge is the primary objecti\'c. Because engineering practice invo lves solving interdisciplinary proble ms. curricula associated with the various cona:ntrations of study must be designtll to satisfy different industrial and even pedagogical needs. Some examples of cross-<lisciplinary already developed include software engineering, manufacturing system s engineering, production engineering management, and construction engineeiing management. Several ot her new ideas are under consideration either wholly within FEAS or as joint efforts with other faculties and schools at UB. The latter efforts are an illustration of how tbe FEAS can take advantage of UB's comprehensiveness to develop new and innovative programs for the education of future engineers, Another relatively ~w.coDCCpt in grldua~e ecl~qp fP.r·,\wr, ~ool to constder iJ .~ blleak '!~Y. Jrqll!l Ill!: S �October 20, 1988 Volume 20, No. 7 • traditional approach and accept graduate students with B.S. / B.A. degrees in fields other than engineering. In such new programs we would not seck accreditation, artd the graduates would not qualify for licensing. However. they could become pan of the workforce for society. For example, in the environmental engineering area we could admit students with biology or chemistry degrees to a new master's program with a concentration in the environmental sciences. The learning experience could include existing courses from engineering and natural sciences and newly-<levelopcd nonengineering, non-science-based courses tailored to the program. Another example: the globalization of industry requires that engineers be knowledgeable of the history, language, and culture of different pans of the world. FEAS could offer a master-level degree program addressing this industrial need . We must seck the assistance of the Faculties of ArtS and Letters and Social Sciences to develop such a "minor" for engineering students. We also must try to dev~ programs which provide technological understanding for the non-technically educated. This will be far more difficult to do, and there are few ideas on how it can be done. Life-Long Learning A !though undergraduate engineering education emphasizes the ability for self-learning, rapid changes in technology make it extremely difficult for most engineers to keep upd ated without some assistance. As a pan of a public university, the engineering sc hool has a responsibility to serve the needs of the engineering profession by providing courses (either for credit or credit-free) to practicing engineers. As dean, I strongly support the offering of workshops and short courses as well as graduate for<redit courses at industrial sites. Loolr.ing to the future, I believe we will have to devote a major effort to the development of videotaped courses coupled with tutoring effortS for practicing engineers. In fact, there is every reason to believe that future learning, even on campus. will rely more heavily on this approach. A small group of studen ts would review the t~pes, sto p them at criti cal momen~ for dtscussions among themselves or wuh a tutor: a more-or-less self-paced method of study. We are pleased that SUNY is establishing a satellite information system. Our engineering school plans to panicipate fully in televised courses aimed at individuals working in industry. Basic Research y all measures the faculty in this engineering school perform . exceptionally well in carrying out baste research. Their efforts compare well with those of faculty in engineering schools of major public un iversities. Many of our faculty serve as journal editors and/or associate editors. Collectively, they publish ft large number of refereed articles in . mainstream journals, and a very htgh ~tage of them ~ive grants from the National_ Science Foundation and other agencies which usc rigorous peer review processes. Five of ~ur young faculty have ~ived Prestdenllal Young Investigator Awar~s from the National Science Foundauon. All of these activities are most important because !bey contribute to the B advancement of eqgineering knowledge and are the basis for our Ph.D . education programs. I believe that ex:ccUence in basic, discipline~riented research is the platform for the development of significant interdisciplinary research. Applied Research I n..the last few years. FEAS has substantially increased research sponsored by federal and state agencies and industry . However. this effort needs further strength ening. Mi ssiono riented research often requires team efforts. The engineering school gradu ally is moving in the direction of a matrix-type o rganization containing traditional academic disciplines, departments o r academic programs, and team-oriented efforts and research laboratories o r centers which represent the second dimension . Expansion of the capaci ty"for applied research also is necessary if the engineering school is to offer significant service to the federal and state governments and to industry. In some areas of applied research the engineering school should team with other professional schools, such as Management. Law, and Health Related Professions to be more effective. An excellent example is the cooperation between the School of Management and our Department of Industrial Engineering to form The Center for Industrial Effectiveness. Compared with other engineering schools in major public research universities, UB's engineering scbooJ is rather small in size, one-quarter the size 9f the University of Illinois' engineering school. Although size is an im portant factor in striving for excellence (reputation and "numbers " arc interrelated), I am optimistic about ou r school's chance to achieve eminence among peers in a relatively sho rt time. We have a special characteristic that many other engineering schools lack: the attitude of our faculty . Because we do not have a long tradition, depanmental walls are not ..cast in concrete." Cooperation amo ng faculty in different disciplines is very high. Further. this engineering schoo l does not believe in measuring fac ulty success by a single criterion. By and large. faculty respect one another's contributions to the school , whether it he through excellence in teaching, fundamental or applied research. publication, or service. Faculty fun her recognize that the different talents of their colleagues contribute to the overall strength of the school. When the situation calls for it I can always count on the faculty to rise to the occasion and to deliver for the school. This special spirit is rare, but it is an important key to sua:ess. Educating engineers for the 21st century requires the imagination, cooperation, and dedication of the entire engineering faculty and staff. Recent successes (summer minority engineering programs, the National Center for Eartbqualr.e Engineering Research, the State Institute on Superconductivity, the State Center for Toxic Waste, the NASA award for hypersonic graduate education and research, summer programs for community college engineering facllllY members, the Power Institute, succ:cssful intc:rn1otional and national .c onferences, etc.) have shown that this engineering school can do it! The strategy for FEAS for the next several years may be summarized as follows: Within the school, targeted effortS will be directed to developing programs in aerospace engineering and computer communication and control engineering, where challenging and exciting opportunities are plent iful. Further, effortS will be mounted in minority student recFUitment and in the reexamination of our undergraduate curricula with a view to reducing the co ntent of specific applications and increasing f~ndamental principles and design~ emphasizing communications skills and relevant humanities and social science courses. We also wish to pursue joint effortS with the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. This will present a powerful combination to address human and public health issues that are definitely a high ~riority on the national agenda. In terms of a new, exciting area of materials science and engineering, FEAS already bas and will ·continue to strengthen its joint effort with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. For innovative educational programs, FEAS will team with faculty from the basic core of ArtS and Sciences. On pre-college educational effortS it is important to worlr. with the Faculty of Educational Studies so that high school teachers, counselors, and students understand careers and challenges in engineering. Furtber, FEAS will talr.e the lead in cooperating with Siate University colleges and community colleges in engineering education, particularly concerning minority education. CD �October 20, 11188 Volume 20, No. 7 Can the common potato be hazardous to your health? • Yes, says a visiting scientist; every food and drink is a poison if consumed in excess By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Repor1er Stall an a common potato be: hazardous to your health? Adrien Albert, visiting the School of Pharmacy last week. says it can, provided you ingest enough of the tubers. "The potato has bee n sho wn to have about 100 foreign chemi ca b in it. .. Albert , an Australian medi ci n a l chemist with 200 publications and five books to his c red it , recentl y co mpleted X(•nohwsu: Foods, Drugs and Poisons m rlw Human Bod~·. Alben looks b~ck to the work of Parace ls us. th e early 16th century Swiss ph ysic 1an alc hemi st who pondered : ''What IS not a po iso n?

Alber-t said th at eve n the most see min gly natural foo d s ffiust be processed by the bod y because they are foreign (x.eno) substances. For instance, a baby needs .. protein. fat s. and carbohydrates. Mother's milk contains all of these and yet although the mother prese nts the child with human fat s, human proteins, and hum an carbohy~ drates. he breaks all th is down to small fragments , small molecular fragments. by digestion . "So even food is !reated by the human body as being quite foreign ." The majority of food is never aCUlally in the body, Albert noted . The entire digestive system ...from the mouth right thc~ e ~a 1 d . through to the anus is exterior to the body, like a hole in the doughnut is exterior to the doughnut. When fragments of food pass the semipermeable, gastric membranes into the bloodstream and directly to the liver, only then have we got something in the body." If something is a food , more of it can be eaten than of something that is a poison. Humankind has been able to label some plants and animals as edible only through hit and miss, Albert said . " We should be grateful to early man who found out by trial and error what was safest to eat. .. , ____: · -Adrie n Albert: The Brisloi-Myers Leclurer al lhe School of Pharmacy. to one of Albert's displays. "What keeps people from overdosing on caffeine are the telltale sig ns of an overd o se . thumping hearts and shaking hands." It's easy to take too much of even more benign su bstances than ethanol and caffeine, Albert said. " Food is such delicious stuff that we feel we can never get too much of it." He said th at there are three primary malnutrition problems· too much food, too little, and the wrong mix. lbert put forward oxygen, alcohol, and caffeine as examples of substances that are used daily in the three different modes. .. Ox ygen is a food when taken in a dilution of one to five. It is a medicine at 80 per cent concentration, but one has to watch out for symptoms of ~ge n poiso ning and terminate the treatment if this happens. Widely used, oxygen ~ therapy has kept many people alive," ~ Albert said . He explained that oxygen in 0 high pressure doses has been known to ~ cause blindness. ~ - '--------' Alcohol is generally looked on as a recreational ingestible, but it too can take on all three qualities, Albert said . "Although ethanol is quite a calorific food . coming halfway between carbohydra tes and fats . it is not a very practical one. It was a very important medicine in th ose days before anaestheti cs. "Ethanol has disappeared from the pharmacopeia but it has not disap peared from the domestic medicine chest. It is mu ch in use as a nightcap. it is valuable as a n appet ize r. and it's a thing people ofte n take during a common cold so that they don't feel too bad . There is a gray area. somewhere between ethanol as a medicine and ethanol as a poiscn. and this is called social drinking." Albert e•plained that alcohol poisoning is one form of alcohol's toxic effects. Other ways in which a lcohol can be Albert said that the pattern of lethal are due more to its impairing the drinking coffee in the morning and ce ntral nervous system than actually throughout the day is an e<ample of a poiso ning people . .. The law takes an hard-to-break habit. "Insofar as about interest because a social drinker is not as two hours after taking the •caffeinacious' good a driver as he thinks he is," Albert beverage, they tire, most people take said . another cup of coffee. If they had not taken the coffee in the first place, they rink s containing caffeine _a! e would not be tired . Here, in miniature another example of Albert's tnad _ and in a most innoce nt way, we can see "What they really do is liberate energy how an addiction suppons itself." from its stores - energy, both mental and physical, to which we wouldn' However, caffeine can even be fatal, if normally have access." taken in large enough doses, according A U) "There are ·three major malnutrition problems: too much food, too little, and the wrong mix ... The wrong mix is caused by buying because of price rather than " quality. D T oo little food results in malnutrition from a lack of all necessary nutrients The wrong mix is often ca used by buyi ng food because of price rat her than q uality . Albert explained . ..Too much food oftca. ca u~cs obesi ty. w.hich is brought about by the wa y in which some people's bodies deal with food ," Albert said , notin g th at often obese people don' eat more than thm thinner friends . Obesity is a proble m because it causes a shortening of life span ard an early onslaught of problems associated with old age. The potato is not the only food "tth low levels of toxins present narura/1_\ . Albert said ... There is a who le hi.J tan •l·al family which bQngs a risk ot p01son mg to us. There is hardly an yo ne wh u doesn' eat a member of this famil y:· which includes such plants as cabbage. turnips, and mustard, all members of the cruciferae fam.ily. However, the poisons are not present in dangerous levels. Albert said that the human body itself produces toxic chemicals in minute doses to carry out different purposes. "We keep getting rid of our hematin by breaking it down regularly. Of the four bridging carbons, the fourth one comes out as carbon monoxide, so we are producing carbon monoxide day and night." Another poison we make ourselves is hydrogen cyanide, Albert said. In muc h the same way, plant poisons are usuall y the end pr~uct of a normal (for th e plant) metabolic pathway. Albert noted that, luckily for us, plant poisons were evolved to stave off insects. As a result, in the doses present in most plants, they are relatively benign to humans. "How is it that foods have so many poisons? I suppose it's because plants have no feet and couldn' run from their predators but had to stay and fight." 4D Books • NEW AND IMPORTANT STORIES IN AN ALMOST CLASSICAL MODE by Harold Brodkcy ( Knopf; $24.95).

Associate for Campus Services AI Ryszka said he is "dismayed" by stories of students who can' get to class in time because of parking. The shuttle service would solve their problems, he said. Ryszka said shuttle buses run on 12minute cycles and will let persons off at the building of their choice. Are buses ever too crowded?, wondered Senate Chair John Boot. Yes, said Ryszka, wbo added that his office may put on extra buses at peak hours or start the vans earlier in the day. Ryszka said his office has also installed radios in the vans to alert drivers to riders in need of service. David J . Banks of Anthropology complained about the parking crunch at Ellicott. Part of the problem, said one student , is that students prefer 10 park in Ellicott lots and then take a' Bluebird bus, rather than relying on the shuttle vans. The student argued "that if any kind of restriction is going to be made at Ellicott, it sho uld be to make reserved lots for students." Ryszka responded that this is part of a "long-range plan." One student noted that " people park illegally because they have to park somewhere." But Ryszka responded that .. no one will ever guarantee convenient parking. But we will guarantee safe parking," adding that UB is developing a " blue light" system for parking safety. D ., Muolc tlclrela moy l>e p u r e - I n - ot the JOBS• FSEC-student meeting focuses· on parking issues . Ed Harris is Walker,' in the UUAB Movie, Thursday and Friday. S cott Danford of Architecture and Planning said he comes to the Amherst Campus at "the worst times" and has "found the remote lots (co upled with the shuttle service) much more convenient than trying to lind a space on the spine." Studcpt representatives were con· cemed that faculty often park in wbal are perceived as traditional .. student" lots. Ryszka said the University ca nnot presently exclude faculty from st udent lots .. because of a clause in a union contract." Student Derek LaMarche wondered if the S47,000 cost of implementing the new car registration system could be financed from parking tickets. John Greta of Public Safety said that two different budgel entities are involved, and so it cannel be done. The money from regis· tration fees goes back to the parking program, he said. The cost of implementing the program was higher than estimated, Greta said, mainly because of the amounl of mailing involved. In succeeding years, people will have to pick up their updated sticker (to be applied to the tag) in person. "No mail-ins will be accepted," he said. Jeannette Ludwig of Modem Languages wondered where the revenues from parking tickets, estimated at $285,000 for fiScal year 1987-88, end up. Greta responded that these monies must be directed to administra!ive costs and paying those who issue tickets. In answer to a question, Greta said his office issues between 200 and 300 tickets a day. As for the new parking registration system, Grela said that as of Oct. 12, between 80 and 85 per cent of the bangtags bad been distributed. "Approximately 5,400 lap have been distributed to faculty and staff (the figure includes Research Foundation employees, volunteers, and emeritus faculty), and about 9,000 studen ... " Greta said Public Safety's goal was to have begun ticketing for hangtag violations on Oct. 18. T urning to the athletic requirement issue, Parker Calkin of Geology said be feels "veiy strongly that alhletics can be a strong part of one's intellectual "Physical education requirement a/so draws comment; some students express fear that if it's dropped, they will lose access to RAC facilities; others say classes tie-up the RA C." experience at a university."' For his pan. Senate Chair John Boot said that students should have aa:ess "to our first· rate" athletic facility, bul it is probably not advisable to keep it as a graduation requirement. Student Carl Weir said that a recent referendum found that about 60 per cent of students who responded wanted to do away with the requiremenl. "Those students w~o would like to keep it are those who would be likel~ to use the facilily anyway," he said. Boot said it's ~is impression that the Dovosooo of Athletocs doesn' partocularly like the requirement, but fears il might lose some resources without it. Richard Slaughter of Pharmacy said his school finds that students often can' get into an athletics course that would satisfy their requirement until the senior year. And then, they are often limiled to courses not of their choosing, such as "social dancing.· If students don' have access to the Recreation and Athletics Complex, can we consider expanding the facilities, wondered Calkin. Boot responded that "if we get the World Universily Garnes, then we'd get an even deeper widening of facilities." Still, he allowed, "the notion that our prime needs are in athletics, doesn' set well with me." Bob Tabara, SA president, said that "the present RARI set-up is cumberso me." Still, be is worried that without sufficient vigilance, the Recreation and Athletics Complex could eventually be given over to Division I athletics. "If you consider that they turned a student union iota a dental school, it's not a great conceptual leap to believe that something similar could happen with the areria. • Tabara said be favon making participation in intramural sports part of the athletic requirement. But othen countered that the question goes beyond lbe move to Division I. Derek LaMarche says be can' use tbe building between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. because of all the claues scheduled there.

We don't have a lot of meetings. We don' spend a lot of time gumming it and figuring it all out. We just do it." That's what Ron Talboys says about Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization which builds and renovates houses for the poor all over the world . Talboys is president of Habitat's Buffalo chapter, one of nearly 300 such chapters in this country . The organization , funded in part by SEFA/ United Way contributions, calls itself ao ecumenical Christian ministry and has the ambitious goal of climinat· ing poverty housing. Founded just over a decade ago by lawyer 1businessman Millard Fuller. Habitat now provides lowcost housing for about 2.000 families each year in the U.S. and in 25 foreign (Top nght) Ron Talboys. president of Habitat / BuNalo; co untries. How do they do it?

"Christian love goes into the building and rehabilitating of all of these homes, simple, decent houses for our fellow humans." Talboys first got involved with Habitat after he and his family spent a week's --vacation" on a similar home mission project in Tennessee. His oldest son subsequently volunteered at Habitat headquarters in Americus, Georgia, a town close to the home of the organization's most famous volunteers, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. After a couple more trips to Habitat projects in other cities, Talboys founded Habitat for Humanity/ Buffalo in 1985. Since then, his chapter has renovated five houses and has recently begun work on its first new property, which Habitat bought from the City of Buffalo for $1 per lot. Now little more than a field, the Monroe Street property will eventually boast six new houses. W hile the walls go up on the first . Monroe Street bouse, Habitat volunteers are interviewing applicants who wish to buy it. Families are selected on the basis of their housing need, income level, credit rating, employment situation, and family size. Thirty families are currently on the waiting list for Habitat houses. "These are people living in deplorable, despicable conditions, who are destined to live in poverty," Tal boys noted. "For those people who are selected, it's lil<e winning the lottery." Potential homeowners are requested to contribute 100 boui'S of work on a Habitat project; they then can choose the most appropriate bouse for their needs as soon as it becomes available. The family is issued a :ID-year mortgage and purchases the house at the same price it cost Habitat to build it. "If it costs us $15,000 to renovate a •-!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~p~ro~pert~~Y:·2w~e~eb~arge also required to put in 500 hours of what we call'sweat equity,' work on their own house or on another project." The Monroe Street bouse will be sold for a maximum of $35,000; Habitat / Buffalo renovations have run from $15,000 LO $23,000. The houses, which take anywhere from six to nine months to complete, typically have been purchased from the City or donated by individuals. Both parties benefit from the transaction, Talboys believes. "The bouse we've just renovated on Kingsley Street was purchased from the City for SI. We saved the City $4,000 in demolition costs, plus the bouse will soon be back on the tax rolls. A man donated a house in bad shape on Harmonia Street - it wouJdn't have been cost~ffective for him to hire a contractor to renovate it himself. "It's also a perk for the neighborhood," he added. At several Habitat sites, neighbors welcomed the rejuvenated bouse next door by improving their own homes and yards. 0 nee the site and family have been selected, Habitat volunteers must solicit materials along with some skilled labor. "We aren' bashful," Talboys said. "We ask people for lighting, carpeting, windows. On the new home, the digging of the bole was donated, the foundation was donated , concrete for the walls was sold at a price far below market value. You have to ask, but if people are made aware of the need, they're usually happy to help." , But Habitat doeso' survive on donations of materials alone; a support network of about 500 people finances the organization, according to Talboys. Individuals contribute 40 per cent of the total funds, churches contribute another 40 per cent, and the balance comes from United Way/ SEFA, grants from corporations and busine.sses, and fund-raisers . As an associate program of SEFA, Habitat/ Buffalo benefits only from contributions that are designated specifically for Habitat. "Our first year, we bid about eight people contribute about S I ,000 through SEFA payroll deduction," Talboys said. "Last year, we had 16-20 donors and we were up to $4,000 dollars. "Next year, we'd tike to build four to six new and rehabilitated houses - we're going to need about $150,000 to do that." Love in the Mortar Joints is one of the books by Habitat founder Millard Fuller. The title reflects a feeling about the organization that Talboys shares - a feeling that the "lottery winners" are not the only ones whose lives are often changed dramatically by Habitat. "As a volunteer, you think you have so tittle to give," be said. "But you eventually realize what you've given these families is so great. You don' come in and leave the same person." . Providing homes for the world's poor is unfortunately a job that may never be finished. That doeso\ diminish Talboys' dedication and optimism. "As Fui&Jays, 'once all people have a ---- interest," Talboys explained. '"Theyat are them $15,000, no clsc 10 do.' " then we'll ftnd! somethitt& ' decent bouse, �october 20, 1. .

This means !hat lacully and stall cannot conduct political activities on paid state time. In addition. state equipment. vehicles. and office space are to be used only lor official staterelated business and not lor any type of political activity.

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

State University of New York An Ambitious Goal UB aims to double research sponsorship in 5 years Other By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Sl:aff n five years. U B hopes to double the amount of its external sponsorship for research, Dale M . Landi, vice president for sponsored programs , told the UB Council last week . This goal was set by President Sample, Landi said, and is ''an ambitious one." To accomplish this, the University will have to widen its base of support , Landi stated. Spec ifically . it hopes to increase research support from private foundations and industrial concerns. to ten a nd eight per cent, respectively. of the total sponsors hip base . "These figure s are the averages at public research universities about our size." Total expenditures are up . to $87.5 million this year. 20 per cent from 1986-87. This figure includes research done by affiliated faculty at Roswell Park , affiliated hospitals , and research centers. These latter catego ries of expenditures are not reported through the SUN¥ Research Foundation. Landi added : "SpoQsorship from private foundations accounts for only a fraction of one per cent of our gross sponsorship. whereas the average for universities our size is ten per cent.. .. We can do much better by being a little more aggressive."

We can do a lot better and are taking so me initiatives to mcrease our spo nsors hip in this a rea ... cfore takin g his prese nt pos iti on in Dece mber . 1986. Landi said he .. no ticca th e re were many areas where the Universi ty had strong capabi lities. but there was no external sponsorship at aiL Yet th ere were external funds a\allable for ( th1 s kmd. of) resea rch ." Land1 also announced a pilot project to decentralize local ope r a t ion~ of the SUNY Research Fou ndati o n. These would mvolve app lica ti ons processing. accoun t estab lis hment and maintenance. billmgs. and con tract negotiation a nd awa rd acceptance, a mon g other items. B The project would also decentralize mos t techn ology tra nsfer functions. such as process in g 1n vc nti o n di sc losures. marketing inventions , filing patent decisi ons, and the like. (The University is now recruiting a technol ogy transfer officer, acco rding to Charles J . Kaars. assis tant vice president for program adm inistration.) The Research Foundation's cen tral opera t io ns are .. generall y effective.·· Landi said . However, they are overly ce ntral ized . rem ote (located in Albany), create redundancies in procedure. and add to the cost of U B operations. " We think that if more of the re sponsi bility is here on our campus. we can provide a better se rvice to our princi pal investigato rs -- o ur faculty and we can do it at a lowe r cost. " I •,.

This is one reason why UB will try to expand o perat io ns at Baird Resea rch Pa rk . "We ca n build a building on private land for a bo ut half the price. and in abou t one· third the tim e. than if we depend on th e Sta t e Un ive rsi t y Co nstructi on Fund.Perhaps the bigges t co nstraint, said Landi, is the University's difficulty in recovering its ove rhead cosls ... These are legi timate ove rhead costs incurred in any busi ness: the University is no exception. The federal government, as our main sponsor, reimburses us for our overhead costs. But the Stale of New York ends up co nfiscating most of it. We onJy get about 40 per cent of it back here. .. Almost all those costs are incurred here on campus. As our research establishment grows, our costs grow. Unless we're able to recover those costs, we're eventually going - to be very seriously constrained ... Still , it had only 27 per cent of th e U.S. patents issued to SUNY campuses. However, the Universi ty had 56 per cent of th e lice nses obtained in SUNY, which is a truer test of progress, Landi stated . Additionally, UB generated 49 per cent of the royalty income for all SUNY campuses. 8 uses these returned overhead funds .. as soc::._6.. money so that faculty can develop ~eas to the point where we can seek external sponsorship, .. Landi told the Cou ncil. When the overhead mone y is returned , the majority of il is used by de a ns, the provost, and others to suppon research development and also to sup pon some administrative and campus services. "lf we're not making that investment every year, we're mongaging the future ," said Landi . ... We won't be ab\e to see the grant and contract awards three a nd four years from now unless we're investing that ki nd of seed money ... Landi noted th at UB's two national ce nt e rs, Earthquake Engineering Resea rch. and Geographic Information and Analys is, staned out with seed money from wha t is called the resea rch development fund . Also, the eight '"preside nt iall y designated ce nters" were staned out by seed money provided by U B, he said. They are the Canada-United States Trade Ce nter , Center for Applied Molecular Biology a nd Immunology, Center for Electronic and Electro-Optic Materials, Ce nter for Integrated Process Systems Technology, Cen ter for Resea rch in Special Enviro nments. the Resea rch Ce nter for Children a nd Yo.;th , the Su rface Science Ce nter . a nd th e T ox.icology Research Ce nter, Also impeding resea rch sponso rship here, Landi continued. are uncert ai nti es about State funding , as well as cenain federal regulat io ns and disince nt ives that hun resea rch a nd developme nt effort s nat io nwid e.

I U Can UB mix scholarship and commercial interests? • Boot raises criticism that the University resembles an industry in its efforts to 'chase bucks:' others disagree By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Stalf an the Universi ty balance its quest fo r sc holarly purity with ties to commercial interests? This quest ion was posed by Faculty Senate Chair John Boot in Sept. 27 remarks to the full senate. Boot said he is troubled by several matters that pose dangers for the University, in his view. .. A number of iss ues have been communicated to me which, although se parate and distinct, yet have a comma~ denominator. There is. for example, a new feature magazine, Sci~ntia~. publis hed by the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, proudl y proclaiming on its maiden cover that 'Science is Business in Buffalo.' .. There are the seminars and computet literacy courses sponsored under the auspices of the School of Management. There is the newly in stit uted fringe benefit of leased cars for vice presidents as a routine compone nt of their co mpensation package, and th e constant upgrading of Ca pen fifth . "What do these have in comm on? That they mak.e the Un iversity resemble an industry , and ad min is trati on and fac ult y resemble management and labor. It is a dangerous developme nt. "The Bell Laboratories and the Wat· son laborato n es at ATI and IBM don't pndc themselves on doing business. they pride themselves on doing science. They don't win Nobel prizes because they sell telephones and typewriters. but because they hear the Big Bang and concoct s uperc o nduct ive co mp o unds .

I n the mid -1970s. the repo rt no tes. an elaborate sys tem of dean re view was put in place under then Vice President for Aca demic Affairs Ronald Bunn.

The provost would gather this informat ion at an annual meeting with facult y at which the dean would be present. The provost would also receive and co nsider confide ntial letters from faculty members, provided they were signed and submi tted by individuals, not groups.

FACULTY AND II STUDENT , AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS Several of our more distingu is hed facult y members were se lected as membe rs of the most prestigious na tio nal academies during the past academic year . Includ ed in thi s group a rc Roben Crcclcy, Professor of English and holder of the Gray Chair in Poetry and Letters. a nd Leslie Fiedler, Distinguished Professor of English and holder of the Samuel Clemens Chair in Literature, both of whom were elected as Fellows of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. With a membership of less than 300, this Academy is the most distinguished in the humanities. In addition, Dr. Roben Genco, Professor and Chairman of Oral Biology, was elected as a fellow of the National Instit ute of Medicine; Dr. Herben Hauptman, Nobel Laureate and Research Professor of Biophysical Sciences, was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences; and Dr. Wilson Greatbatch, Research Professor of Electrical Engineering, was As was the case last year, SU~ ) · Buffalo h as delivered an e x tra ord m.~ nl'. high return oh the in vestment of ) l il t ~· reso urces made b y the taxpaye rs ol New York State. For example. totdl revenue generated through sponso red programs awarded to o ur full-time .Jnd affiliated faculty increased by m01e than 20 per cent during the last fi .c<~ l year. Total sponso red program revenues for 1987-88 in this catcgo" reached nearly S88 m illion, up fr o m S73 million in 1986-87. Over th e pa>l five years our annual revenues in th i) category have 1ncreased by more th an 140 per cent. named to the National Academy of Engineering.

Herreid II was named Distinguished Tea~hing Professor in Biological Sciences in recognit io n of his remarkable talents as a teacher and scholar, and his unstint ing service to our academic community for the past two decades. Many of our junior faculty have also received prestigious awards in the ir respective fields. Dr. Bruce Nicholson of the Depanment of Biological Sciences was named o ne of 20 new Pew Scholars in the nation, and will receive $200,000 to suppon his research over the next four years. Three facult y members became Presidential Yo ung Investigators (PYI) under a program initiated four years ago by the National Science Foundation: Professor Carl Lund of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Professor Michalakis Constanlinou of the Department of Civil Engineering, and Professor C hu Ryang Wic of the Depanmcnt of Electrical and Co mputer Engineenng.

Each of these successes 1n o btaining external funding has stimulated within our faculty a rcncv. eJ ...o ptimism a nd enthusiasm , and has ge nerated a flood of new prop osal!! The number of propos als submitt ed this p ast year through the SUNY Research Foundation increased b y 2b per cent over last year, and the total dollar value of such proposals e xceed ' last year 's dollar value by 20 per cent Just this past month SUNY-Buffa h> . in cooperation with the Universit y of California at San ta Barbara and th< University of Miline at Orono. was awarded a major National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to cstabl tsh the National Center for Geographtc Information and Analysis (GIA). Th " is the second time within th e last two years that SUNY-Buffalo has been successful in competing for a maJ o r national research center. The competition for this most recent grant was extremely stiff. and in the final ro und the consortium of which SU~Y ­ Buffalo was a part was chosen over the Universi ty of Wisconsin. Credit for the success of this program goes to Professor Ross MacKinnon of th e Geography Depanment, who is principal investigator and also .[lc_an of the Faculty of Social Sciences. and to Professors Barbara Buttenficld and David Mark, the p~ject directo rS. �October 13, 1988 Volume 20, No. 7 During the next five years SUNYBuffalo will receive at least S 1.5 million of the total S5 .5 million in federal funds awarded to the Center. We expect this core funding to generate approximately S2 .5 milli o n in additional funds from other government sources and the private s~ tor as a result of Cen ter activity . Although no state matching funds were required for the GIA Center, a commitment of long-term support for GIA from our earned ·indirect cost recovery and Graduate Research Initiative (GRI) funds demonstrated to NSF our se riousness of purpose and greatly aided our obtaining this grant. In spi te of the smaller size of the GIA grant , its long-term potential is co mparable to that of the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Researc h (NCEER). The presence on this campus of both the NCEER and the GIA Center helps to reinforce our standing as a major prese nce in the earth sciences. Moreover , it is anticipated that substantial synergistic activity will develop between these two national centers . Sti ll another national center has been created by a five-year S3 million coope rative funding agreement between the U.S. Department of Education and SUNY-Buffalo's Sehool of Social Work and School of Medicine and BiomedicaJ Sciences. The purpose of · this center is to conduct research and develop training programs on issues related to rc~ntry into the commUnity of persons with traumatic brain injury CT BI). The SUNY -Buffalo Center is one of only two in New York State, and will help to identify the best types of support services which are cost~ effective alternatives to institution· alization of TBI persons. thus improving their quality of life and their mtegration into the community .

Our CAT is one of only three in New York State that have been able to leve rage state funds by attracting an NSF University Industry Center. Indirect cost reeovery and GRI funds have also been used to support the CAT, the Surface Science Center, the Bio-Surfaoe Science Center, and the related Biomaterials Program in the School of Dental Medicine.

U B ran ks very high among the nation's major public universities in the recruitment of women and members of underrepresented minorities to our the percentage of female faculty Veterans Administration Hospital, where twenty heart transplants have been performed over the past few years. Rutgers University comparing twenty major public universities, UB ranked sixth among all universities studied in members, sixth in the percentage of faculty members representing all racial or ethnic minorities. and second in the percentage of black faculty members. We are pleased to report that a large portion of the faculty hired this year are women or members of underrepresented minorit y groups. Since August of 1987. 10 per cent of recognized by the scholarly and artistic the full-time faculty whom we have hired are members of underrepresented minori ty groups. and 26 per cent arc women . Within the rank s of the communities, and in some instances professional staff. 15 per cent of our Several of our programs in the humanities have also been widely have attracted special financial support . For example, this fall SUNY-Buffalo is sponsoring the first International Women Playwrights Conference. Professor Anna Kay France of the Department of English has played a central role in organizing this event which is attracting world-wide attention and promises to be of historic significance in advancing the role of women in tbe theatre. This conference will bn"hg together, for the first time in the history of the ttM:atre, hundreds of notebooks, and manuscripts of twentieth-century English-language poets and authors, including those of James Joyce and William Butler Yeats. During the last six years the poetry collection alone ha.s received over SI million in gifts and grants, including grants from the U.S. Department of Ed ucation and the National (radioisotope camera) which wiU • perform real-time imaging of patients who have received small doses of radioisotopes. The initial uses of this new facility will be in the field of cardiovascular diagnostics, which is a key element of our heart transplant program. PET teehnology is truly at the cutting edge of medieal science, and is essential for any major health science meet the salary requirements of several first-dass scholars but also to provide the laboratory space and equipment involved the University's other five affiliated hospitals (including Roswell Park · I Institute), and that received strong on from the Western New Y r munity at large . A key factor in o taining approval for the center was our faculty's experience in heart transplantation at the Buffalo nation. radio-chemistry, nuclear medicine, and greatly aided by the availability of GRJ funds , which enabled us not only to faculty . In a 1988 study conducted by women playwrights. scholars, and critics from all over the world. The diagnostic imaging, The PET scanner system wiU eonsist of a eyelotron and associated ~~]oratories for the production--llf radioisotopes, and at promising junior faculty. Our recruitment efforts this past year were the Buffalo General Hospital (BGH), another of our major affiliated teaching hospitals, in establishing the State's 'Second heart transplant center. The establishment of this center at BG H was the result of an effort that also in terms of the amount of support for research awarded by tbe National Institute for Dental Research, recently received yet another major grant $3.3 million over the next five years to study the role of salivary constituents in the formation of dental plaque. This award went to Dr. Michael Levine, Professor of Periodontics. The ~rant , combined with tbe S8 million awarded last year to establish the National Center for Oral Biology at SUNYBuffalo, places the School in the very first ranks of all dental schools in the SUNY -Buffalo, in conj unction with the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital (which is one of our-major affiliated teaching hospitals), is now in the process of developing a plan to build and operate a Positron Emission Tomography (PEl) scanner. This new teehnology offers extraordinary opportunities for basic research in numbers of highly distinguished senior faculty members as well as very costs of this event are being covered in part by the University, in part by contributions from interested individuals,. and in part by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.

V FACULTY AND STAFF RECRUITMENT A number of major administrative positions were filled during the past year following national searches. Among those who have been named to our administrative ranks are Professor David B. Filvaroff, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence; Professor G. Alan Stull, Dean of the Sehool of Health Related Pwfessions; Mr. Nelson Townsend, Director of Athletics; Dr. J . Scott Aeming, Exeeutive Director of Alumni Relations; and Dr. Michael Sher, Direetor of Academic Computing. In addition, the sean:h for a new Dean of the Schooi of An:hiteeture and Planning was sucoessfully completed, and we expect to announce his appointment in the very near future . SUNY-Buffalo continues to be very sucoessful in attracting substantial newly ~ hired full-time personnel arc Blacks, Hispanics , and American Indians. ·I TRENDS ENROLLMENT AND V STUDENT PROFILES During the last decade the demand for admission to SUNY-Buffalo has risen steadily, as have the academic quaJifications of the s tudent s who applied . those who were accepted, and those who subsequently enrolled . The total number of freshman applications for fall of 1988 was over 17.000 for an en tering freshman class of :r.@. In addition, applications from transfer students reached a new high of 5.400. SUNY-Buffalo has clearly become one of the most academically competitive public research universities in the entire nation . Most of the regularly-<:nrolled students matriculating at SUNY-Buffalo in the fall of 1988 achieved composite SAT scores of over 1100, and placed within the top 12 per cent of their respective high school graduating classes. These numbers represent an improvement in the academic credentials of our incoming freshman class over those of last year's class. Despite the improvement of the credentials of out freshman class every year for the past several years. we continued again this year to set an even higher standard for admission . SUNY-Buffalo is continuing its aggressive efforts to increase minority enrollments, and to improve retention rates for minority students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Ove r 130 underrepresented minority freshmen will matriculate this fall at SUNY-Buffalo as a part of our regular admissions program . These students are in addition to our 200 minority students admitted through our Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). The number of regularlyenrolled minority students this year is 100 per a:nt larger than the number last year. In 1978..g8, with the assistance of state-funded Empire Scholarships and institutional matching funds, 34 highly talented minority undergraduates were enrolled at SUNY-Buffalo and provided with $3,000 scholarships. Eo<-1988-89 the number of minority students receiving • See " - " - - �October 13, 1988 Volume 20, No. 7 REPORT /FROM PAGE5 these special scholarships at the Buffalo Center has increased by 80 per ce nt. It is especially notewo rthy that four of last year's schol arship recipients were inducted into Who's Who Among Students in American Universities a nd College<. Both the retention and graduati on rates for EOP students at SUNYBuffalo have a lso shown a marked increase. In the spri ng of 1988 the EO P at SUNY-Buffalo graduated 110 t udents with baccaJa ureate degrees. wh ich was the largest such class in o ur history. Moreover, more EOP students are enro ll ed at SUNY-B uffalo than at any other camp us in the SUNY sys tem. Minority grad u ate e nroll ment a nd retenti o n have been gre atly enh anced due to the increased avai la bility of fina nc1al aid . For 1987-88, 91 superi or mmority grad uate students we re supported by special mmori ty fellowship s and related award s. O verall. sup pon for minorit y gradua te students has increased by nearl y 60 per cent in the past year. to recei ve approval to und ertake the planning, design, and construc~ioo of both phases simultaneously. Ga~en our accelerated timetable:. co nstruction on the building should begin in 1989. The new student union will greatly expand the range of recreational and o rganization al facilitie s available to students at UB. The decision made two years ago to upgrade o ur intercollegiate athlet ics program to Division I continues .to be: well-received by. students, alumna, a nd the local community. As part of th e plan to upgrade, so me key staff in athletics have been hired in the past Year, including a business manager and a development officer. In addition we have made several improve ments in the facilities that house o ur intercollegiate athlet ics eve nts. Both our men 's and women's basketball teams will play a full Division II schedule during the 19&8-89 academic year, and SUNYBuffalo will once agai n host the NCAA Division II Swimming and Di vi ng Champi ons hips. ECONOMIC I X DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY SUN Y-Buffa lo co nti ues to play a key role as a catal yst in the economic resurgence of Western New York . Fo r example, the Ce nter for Industrial Effectiveness o n our campus has provided technical assistance to more than 20 companies in the last year alo ne and was instrumental in prepa~ing the eco nomic plan which led to a decision to locate a new Dunlop Tire Corporation manufacturi ng facility in Wdtern New York . This is o ne example among man y th at demonstrates the direct bc: neficiaJ effects of University expenise in the manufact uri ng sector of the Western New York economy. This fall a newly-constructed high technology incubator bu ilding will be dedicated and opened for occupancy at the Baird Resea rch Park, a tract of land that was donated several years ago to the Unive rsity at Buffalo Foundatio n UNDER· V I I GRADUATE EDUCATION AND QUALITY OF STUDENT LIFE During the past four yea rs ou r facult y have worked di ligently to strengthen the qualit y or undergraduate education al S UNY-Buffalo . Their efforts have mcluded th e creauo n of a new Undergraduat e College and a <.·o mprehenswe assessment and redesign o f the general educa ti on curriculum. In its fi rst two yea rs ( 1986-88), I he College has focused on developing curnculum and. m particular. o n des1gning an 1m proved program 10 ge neral education. For exa mp k . it Im plemented a Freshman Se min ar Program in 1987-88 which offers at least one small class experie nce wit h a se nior facu lt y member to all entering freshmen who wish to panicipate . Eight y of these se minars were offered tn 19&7-88, and 80 mo re will be offered this year. Many senior fac ult y are enthusiastically participating in the Freshman Seminar Program. Provost William Greiner taught such a se minar last spring, and this fall I am coteaching a semipar with Professor Robert Daly entitled "Science, Literature, and Society." The Senior Members of the Undergraduate College have also developed an innovative and a mbitious course in World Civilization. This pilot course is being offered for the fi rst time during the fall 1988 semester to 750 students, and includes both lectures and smaJI group recitation sections. The unique academic opportunities and advisement system made available through the Undergraduate College, along with greater interaction between senior faculty and lower division undergraduates, have greatly enhanced the overall quality of student life on our campus. The quality of student life will also be greatly improved through the construction of a new Student Union that will triple the space currently available in the Student Activities Center. The local architectural firm of Stieglin, Stieglin, and Tries was selected to design Phases II and Ill of the new Student Union, and their schematic report bas now been approved. We had anticipated that Phase Ill of this project would be delayed until after the completion of Phase II, but fortunately we were able VIII CAPITAL CAMPAIGN On October 19, 1987 the University at Buffalo Foundation launched the largest and most challenging drive in the 142-year history of our University, and the first capital campaign in tbe history of the entire State University system. The " Pathwa ys to Greatness" campaign, which has a goal of raising S52 million by 1992, will help the University move toward the top ranb. of public research universities. The S52 million of increased endowment will be used to create a minimum of 25 additional endowed chairs, eight endowed professorships, 30 addit ional -graduate and postdoctoral fellowships. and 50 additional undergradu ate scholarships. These funds will also be · used to support programming in the new Fine Ans Center (construction of which will begin in 1989), and to enhance the: library's special colh:ctiom.. We are truly fortun ate to have as leaders of this effort such prominent members of our community as Seymour H . Knox, Robert E. Rich. Sr., and Edwin F. Jaeckle, who are servi ng as Honorary Chairmen; Northrup Knox, wh o is servi ng as Chairman of the campaign: and Robert Koren , Robert Wilmers, and Jeremy Jacobs, all of whom are Co-Chai rmen. The ftrsl phase of the cam paign is on target, and momentum is bu ilding. Specific achievements will be announced later this month on the first anniversary of the campaign 's kick-off. (UBF). The construction o f this incubator was coordinated by UBF, with funding fro m private donors , the New York State Urban Development Co rp orati o n, and the New York S tate Science an d Technology Fo und ation. Th is new facility is the seco nd htg htechnology inc ubator to be ini tia ted by SUNY-Buffal o wi th in lhe past four yea rs. It com prises 40,000 gross square feet of space. and will provide laboratory and office space for nedgling fi rms in the fields of electronics. com putin g. and manufactu ring technologies.

Efforts are currently under way to secure federal fundmg to co nstruct thc:st two buildi ngs. This co mple x will enable SUNY- Buffalo to provide needed space for : research init iatives in the areas of superconductivity and hazardous waste management; the Center for Industrial Effectiveness; and cooperative research activities with New York industries. The number of invention disclosures filed by our facult y during this past year more than doubled. SUNYBuffalo's faculty now account for 60 per cent of the total number of inventions d isc losed within the entire SUN Y system. Moreover, invention s made at SUNY-Buffalo accounted for nearly half of all the royal ty income gene rated during the past year with in the SUNY system. Annual royalty inco me attri buta ble: to inventions made by SUNY-Buffalo faculty has increased by more than 350 per ce nt over the la;1 two years alone. XsuDGET SUNY-Buffalo suffered a maj o r setb•ck thi s past summer when o ur bud get for FY 1988-89 was unexpectedly red uce d by S 1.2 million. Th is is the first midyear budgetary reduction imp osed on the University in more than a decad l· . and , as might be ex pected, it has caused se rious alarm thro ugh out our acade mic co mmunity.

Only in this way can the Univers it y maint a in the stabilit y o f its base bud ge t when the State itself faces severe budgetary co nstraints. In fisca l 1989-90 SUN Y- Buffa lo will be exa mining various mea ns of ge nera ting addit io naJ re venue thr o ug h special charges and fees. Th is add iti o nal inco me sho uld perm it o ur inst itut ion to rea ll oca te state fund ~ to mee t so me o f o ur mo re pressi ng budgetary needs. We ho pe that our cffo n s to help o urselves wi ll be met Wi th suppo rt fro m those offices a nd age ncies wh o c: approva l o f new fees and cha rges is requ ired. The State must also fos te r po licies and prog rams that help improve the leve l o f fund ing fo r spo nso red program s fro m ex tern al so urces. In partic ul a r. any and all fo rced con tribut io ns to state acco unt s fr o m 1 ndm~c t cost recovery out of the Resea rch Fo undati o n must be eliminated alt ogether. The current prac tice o f di verting campus-based research o verhead fund s to state purpose acco unts is completel y antithet ical to all o f our effo rts to increase sponso red program supp o rt o n th e ca mpuses. At a time o f extreme budgetary stringency it is impo rtant for th e State to follow fiscal policies that f osur effo rts to generate revenues fro m ex ternal sources. rather than those whic h inhib it such effo rts. Allowing each campus to keep and spend all o f the research ove rhead fund s which it ge nera tes wo uld serve as a majo r incent ive to facult y who have a lread y been successful in o btaining external s uppo rt , and wh o are eager to build upo n the ir ea rlier successes by seeking add it io nal funding fro m ex ternal so urces. indirect cost recovery can and should be used creatively by the campuses as a sti mulus for identifying and developing new funding opportunities, and fo r providing temporary support to ind ividual [acuity and organized research groups who wish to submit grant proposals. Most important , these funds must be used to cover the real costs of goods and services incurred on the campus at which a giv~n sponsored program is being conducted . By terminating the practice of diverting research overhead funds to state accounts, and by permitting these rund s to remain on the campuses on wh ich they originate, the State would signal to everyone in SUNY that it understands the importance or sponsored resear~h to the soda! and economic well-bemg of the c1t1zens of New York . The foregoing funding problems. which we share with our sister university centers. are compounded at the Buffalo Center by the lack of adequate space. Twenty-five yea':' after the merger with SUNY we are sllll . operating on three campuses. Strategic units are connected by telephone and bus but not by a common campus. The North Campus still lacks a basiC complement of buildings, and the South Campus needs extensove . rehabilitation and new constru~uon . We have faith that the State Will, eventually' correct this glaring inadequacy. In the meantime. funds are needed to renovate existing space and rent additional space to meet our ba.soc operating requirement~. . As indicated earlier an _thas statement, enrollment of and financial support for undergraduate minority students have been significantly increased. However. the fact remains that underrepresented mino rit y-group members still constitute only eight per cent of S UN Y-Buffalo 's total undergraduate po pulatio n. There are many talented a nd dese rving mino rit y undergraduat es to wh o m we are simpl y unable to offer sufficient fin ancial aid . Increas ed fund ing is needed in o rder to provid e add iti ona l sc holarships for o utstanding mino rity undergraduates. as well as finan cial support fo r o utstand ing minorit y so udents who have applied for graduate st ud y at SUNY-Buffalo, particularly in the professions and in disciplines in which minorities have been traditio na ll y underrepresented . XI SUN Y· BUFFALO'S TEACHING HOSPITALS S UNY-Buffalo operates the largest and most diverse health sciences center in th e State. including programs in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing. and Health Related Professions. These schools h~ sign ificant strengths in basic resea rch , and several programs within these units are ranked among the top five in their respective peer groups in the country. However, UB suffers from persistent underfunding of the clinical teaching and research programs conducted by our medical school in our affiliated teaching hospitals. This funding problem is a direct co nsequence of the complex system of clinical education that has evolved here in Buffalo. The other three med ical sch oo ls~ n the S UNY sys tem all o perate th eir o wn teach ing hos pitals, and all receive substanti al subsid ies fro m the State to co ver unavo idable deficits in the operation of these: clin ical teach ing and research facilities. By co ntrast. SUN YBuffalo does not o perate a te aching hospital. Instead, it conducts its programs of clinical teaching and research through si x major affiliated hospitals, ~one of which is owned or operated by State University. Universit y~wned teaching hos pitals have been integral to the development or other medical schools, both in New York and throughout the country, es peciall y in fostering the highest qualit y of clinical teach ing and research. SUNY-Buffalo's system of providing clinical medical education in affiliated teaching hospitals h'!S been devised over a long period or time as a substitute for the more conventio nal university--owned teaching hospita l. In o rder to assure quality in its clinical progra ms, SUNY- Buffalo has developed a number of innovative .cooperative programs with its affiliated hospitals, such as the Graduate Medical and Dental Education Consortium or Buffalo, and the more recently establis hed Western New York Health Sciences Consortium. These alternative means of offering high quality clinical education to our medical students cost money. The actual cost of operating major clinical pro vide rs, educators, researchers , and business leaders, is to provide excellent clinical care for the peo ple of this regio n. The Co nso rtium is also inte nd ed to strength en medical ed uca ti o n and research. and to help esta blis h o ur Schoo l of Medicine and Bio medica l Sciences as one of the to p 20 in the United States. The vario us hos pitals invo lved in th e Co nson ium a rc alread y wo rk ing toward the development of clinical co ncentrations that will form th e foundation for national centers of excellence in teaching, resea rch , and patient care. But if this promisi ng ve nture is to be full y rea lized . S UN YBuffalo must rece ive a pro per level of state fundin g to carry its fair sha re of the educational progra ms based in its hos pitals, and to expand its cl ini cd lybased research. Ca n Buffalo"s School of Med ici ne and Bio medical Sciences ac hieve its goal of ranking am ong the top 20 medi cal schools in the United States? We bCJ ieve the answer is clearly and unequ ivocall y .. Yes. with a mod est amount of additio nal s upp o rt fro m the: S tate !.. Most med ical scho ols currentl y ra nked within the top echelo n do in fact o wn and o perate their own teaching hospitals. But SUNY-Buffa lo has demonstrated that it can wo rk cooperatively with a rea hospitals to become a state and national leader in the development of new knowledge , in the transfer of such knowledge to medical practice and biomedical industries. and in the delivery of health care through new and more efficient systems , provided it receives its fair share of the state support necessary to develo p first-rate clinical facilities and prog rams . XII ''UB operates the larges_t and most diverse health sciences center in the state. The schools in the center have 'significant strength in basic research, and several programs rank among the top five in their peer groups.... " programs in geographically dispersed settings is, of course, much higher than would be the case if all such programs were concentrated in a single teaching hospital. In addition, each of the affiliated hospitals in Buffalo has a separote affiliation agreement with the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, thus requiring the Dean to exercise an extraordinary degree of administrative effort and skill. If SUNY-Buffalo's medical school is to be competitive with medical schools in the best public univer1ities in the country, the costs to SUNY of employing these alternative means must be fully recognized and adequately addressed . SUNY-Buffalo and its teaching hospitals in Western New York have already established an important mechanism for cooperative relationships - namely, the Western New York Health Sciences Consortium. The principal purpose of this Consortium, which is an unprecedented partnership among local health care CONCLUSION We at SU NY-Buffal o a re extremely pro ud of wh at we have been able to acco mpl is h during the preceding 12 months. It has been a year or remarkable success - a yea r during which we have realized greater progress toward becoming a premier public research university than in any pre vious year. Our accomplishments reOect . in part, our capacity to build upon the momentum we generated as a result of past achievements. We have no doubt that we have the talent and energy to sustain our momentum in the future . and to achieve new and even more challenging objectives. Our continuing success is compelling evidence of what can be achieved when the State University system and the state government are fully committed to wQrking toward common goals. We are grateful for the past support lMl SUNY-Buffalo has received from the University at Buffalo Council, the SUNY Central Administration, the SUNY Board of Trustees, the Legislature. and the Governor. We are also encouraged by the growing support and recognition we have received from the general population. both here in Western New York and throughout the State as a whole. It is becoming increasingly apparent that mure and more people understand the importance and advantages of having a pubUc research university of the highest quality in our State. This support, along with the investment of re ~atively modest increases in state fuods, will enable SUNY -Buffalo to reach new levels of excellence. and to continue to contribute to the cultural. social, andeconomic well-being of the people of New York for many generations to come.

Such plays have their place, uya Betoko. "but&R unlikely to offend anyone." And there liea the crux of Betsko'l araument.

Why is the position of the women playwrighu ao problematic? "We're the public voice of women. And it'a never nice for women to make rude noi.Jca in public.

Editor CD Art Di..ctor --- ANN WHITCHER IIDIECCA IIDINSTDI Weekly Calender Editor Associate Art Director REBECCA FARNtiAII JEAN SHRADER �October 13, 11188 Voh.ime 20, No. 7 Dr. George Hatem, public health r. George Hatem, the Buffaloborn physician who became a leader in public health in China, died in Beijing, Sunday, Oct. 2. Hatem, known in China as Ma Haide, was 78. He had fough t a long battle against inflammation of the pancreas and then succumbed to cancer and diabetes. He had spent more th a n half a century in China leading a campaign to rid that nati on of leprosy and venereal disease. According to the New York Times. Hatem had gone in 1936 "with the writer Edgar Snow to the Communist stronghold in Yenan, deep in northern China. For the next decade he served the medical needs of the Communists' Eighth Route Army. Then , as the Communists took control in 1949, he helped organize the country's public health effort. His contributions were hailed in the United States by a number of awards, including D in 1986, the prestigious Albert Lasker " Public Service Award. Before going to Yenan, Hatem had practiced medicine in Shanghai, mainly serving people with venereal disease. He became disillusioned, however, with the government's efforts to attack1be disease at its sociological roots, according to auth or Snow. Although he was not a Communist and spoke no Chinese at that time, he resolved to go to Yenan to see what those opposing the government were like. ... Hatem was awarded Chinese citizenship in the 1950s. Hatem too k a premedical course at the University of North Carolina, completed clinical training at the American University in Beirut, and earned a doctorate at the University of Geneva in Switzerland . UB President Steven B. Sample issued this statement on Hatem's death: "Few people in history can equal the medical successes of Dr. George Hatem, Hochfield asks end to sports courtesy car use Reporter Statf resolution to d isco ntinue the co urtesy car program in the Division of Athletics was offered last week by George Hochficld of English to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. The resol ulion , offered for the senate's considerati on. read : ''The Facully Senate believes that no member of the faculty or staff of SUNY should solicit or accept gifts or services from private individuals or businesses which are not directl y related to the educational needs or mission of the University. We recommend that t he president put an immediate halt to any such practices." To say that .. everyone docs it .. is .. morally queasy," Hochfield said. Provost William Greiner said the courtesy car program .. is up for discussio n in my office ... The ethical issues involved are ..very real," he said . ...Just because: others do it, isn't enough. Still, it doesn' mean that we sbouldn' do it." Those connected with Division I institutions, he said, ... may have notions .. .that may or may not be appropriate to this campus, or to SUNY ." Interviewed on Tuesday. Director of Athletics Nelson Townsend said the . courtesy car program now involves only one car from a local dealer. "The courtesy car program is designed here or at any other institution for the purpose of increasing the funding of the Athletic Department budget by reducing travel costs. Coaches and athletic administrators are required to recruit, tOo do public relatioru, to attend meetings, and to go to various and sundry places in support of the program and in representing the University." He added: "If these charges were assessed to the division's travel budget, in no way could the budget support these costs. The Athletic Department is simply operating by established procedures familiar to the field of intercoUegiate athletics. Howev~r. we are prepared to abide by any rule or regulation that the University might establish that's contrary to the program." A I n the case of out-of-town trips to sco ut players and conduct other business, travel expenses are reimbursed., said T ownsend. But UB coaches and athletic idministraton log a lot oC milca&e travel- dies in China who throughout his long and distinguished career bas played a leading role in the development of Chinese health care. Over the past half century, he led the fight agairut dreadful diseases like cholera, venereal disease and leprosy in China, and in the process saved the lives of many millions of Chinese. "We in Buffalo have been very proud that Dr. Hatem, the son of Lebanese immigrants, is also a native son of our city. In 1987, I bad the pl~asure of presenting to Dr. Hatem, in Beijing. an honorary doctor of science degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo. The presence of many of China's top leaders at that ceremony demonstrated the very high esteem in which Dr. Hatem is held in that country. "Dr. Hatem's Chinese name, Ma Haide, is translated as "virtue from overseas.• In this time of sorrow, we join with his family and aU of the people of China in remembering his great accomplishments, his love of humanity, and his devoted efforts to promote world peace. We at the University at Buffalo will always honor his memory." G Books • NEW AND IMPORT ANT <::::::..

"We do not generally get a mileage reimbursement, because it's generally understood that you go where you have to go." It is not unusual to have speaking engagements ... three or four times a week ... Townsend said .... In the academic arena, that is different. I don't know how many times a chemistry professor. for instance, goes on speaking engagements to recruit students. .. AI the same time. we're incurring costs and putting wear and tear on our cars. We're in an upgrade mode. we want to be more visi ble. We have to travel "Town send is proud of the program; it's a competitive edge. " more, we're going to be exposed more. We want this exposure, it's the only way to develop an athletic program." The nature of intercollegiate athletics is competitive, said Townsend. "If my competition is at point x~ and I'm not, then I'm not competing. It's not a question of doing something simply because someo ne else is doing it. But we have to maintlin a competitive edge. If you don' you're- not in this business very long. That's not the case for all the areas of any university ... He added: "Either we are going to increase our travel budget, or we find alternative ways. The courtesy car prcr gram is one such method. It is one dealer's way of contributing to the Univenity's athletic program, and his or her gift is the same as a $4,000 gift from any alumnus who says. •use it for coaches and administrative travel.' That's all it is." He added: "We will abide by the University's policy. If a decision is made not to travel, then we won' travel. If a decision is made to travel on one's own funds, then it will be left up to the individual coach or administrator whether or not to do so." He concluded: "If it is the University's decision that the courtesy car program is not in keeping with the University's standards and philosophy, then we will discontinue it. But we're very proud of the program, as it shows that we are attaining a competitive edge." 4D AREFUES by David Mom:U (Duuoa; St6.9S).

G �ctober 13, 11811 olume 20, No. 7 SEFA/UnitedWayReport Compass House aids runaways & throwaways By ANNA DeLEON Reporter Staff T he life experiences before adulthood are often beset with peer pressure, child-parent con· nicts, insecurity , and role confusion. For the young person who does not have a stable home environment and support network. who has run away or bee n thrown out of the home, growing up is even more painful and the dilemma more problematic. What avenues can that person talce? What choices can he or she make? Co mpass House, a Buffalo- based vol unteer agency supponed in pan by SEFA-U nited Way, acts as a crisis shelter for runaways and ...throwaways" <c hildren who have been thrOW!) out of thei r homes). It does not merely provide d tempo rary roof above a young person's head. It also acts as a support system and J sounding board . F ounded in 1972 by the Trinity Episcopal Church, Compass House IS funded by several social service agen' ies. including the United Way, Episcopal Charities, the New York State Division for Youth, and the Erie County Depanment of Youth Services. The agency's Linwood Avenue facility houses anywhere from 12 to IS youths at a time. These young people are served by a staff of paid employees as well as volunteers. They may remain in the shelter for as long as 30 days. .. Our primary function is to act as a shelter for kids aged from 12 to 17 years old ," said Tom Piniewski, Compass House's group life supervisor. "We deal with kids who have been physically and sexually abused , or who have been neg· lectc:d, .. he said. "The majority of these kids are throwaways rather than runaways. We give: them a place to sleep, food to eat, and spc:cial eactivities, but we also help them find the stable sit uations (they currently lack)." Counselors wort with the young people in helping them decide whether they wish to return home , live: with other relatives , or reside in foster care homes and group homes. " When it's possible and advisable, we work with the kid 's fam ily to see if the problem can be resolved ," Piniewski added . For situations where a reunion with the family would be ill-advised, as in cases of child abuse and sexual abuse, Compass House will refer the child to other agencies. S ylvia Nadler, the agency's public relations program director, stressed the vital difference between Compass House and other youth service agencies in Erie County. "We are the only emergency shelter for youth in Erie County," she said. "There are many effccti"" chikl care agencies in the county, but we are the only agency that does not require pla<:ement through a family court or some other type of referral." Nadler said this fact allows young people to arrive at Compass House's doorstep without first going through the usual red tape. "They can voluntarily arrive here, ·cannot be forced to remain, ! and they do not need the approval of their parents in order to stay," she said. However , the agency is required by law to inform the youth's parents of his or her whereabouts. The responsibilit y given youths at Compass House aptly illustrates the agency's philosophy, which is to encourage the young people to "take some responsibility for what is happen ing to them, .. Piniewski said . T hrough generous co ntributions by the United Way. Compass House expanded its services in 1986 to include a Resource Center. Located on Main Slrcct, the center is geared toward youths aged 16 and older who arc forced to live independently. There are increas- ing numbers of young people who are no longer being supponed by the family . yet who lack the skills and reSources needed to be self-sufficient , Piniewsk.i said . "One of the first questions I ask these kids is. ' How old are your parents?' " Nadler said. "Most of the time theyll say their parents are 30 or 31. What is happening is a cycle of children who are being brought up by c hildren. By the time the kid is IS or 16 and is going through problems, their parents aren' ready to handle it because they just gave up their own youth in rai sing the child . They did the best they could ." The Resource Center proVIdes case management services for up to a year, and refers youths to appropriate financial, vocational, and educational programs, Nadler said . In addition, a voluntary program teaches young people a variety of life skills, such as managing a budget and nutrition. The success of Compass House and tbe Resource Center depends in large part on volunteers, who contributed 1,400 volunteer hours last year, Nadler said. Volunteers work with group life counselors in preparing meals, providing recreational activities such as field trips, and just l~nding an ear. .. Volunteers are giving a strong message to our kids, many of whom have experienced various forms of rejection, .. Nadler said. "The message. is that people do care, that people are willing to give with an open hand ." Many vol unteers are UB students who either applied independently or were referred 10 Compass House lhrough the Co mmunity Action Corps or UB's Department of Communication. Yvonne Jaros, a graduate student in UB's Depanment of Counseling and Educational Psyc hology, volu nteered at Compass House in 1981 and is now president of the agency's board of directors. ..To be a volunteer means to be there [or the kids as well as serve as a role model," she said. Her experience as a volunteer made her understand the imponance of having a non-judgmental '"stance toward the young people. "You need to be understanding and ca nn ot pul yo ur values on these kids. "' Those who wish to volunteer at Compass House or the Resource Center must make a commitment for at least six months. All volunteers must panicipate in a nine-hour training session. Because of the popularity of the volunteer program, Compass House and the Resource Center are not currently seeking volunteers. "Unfonuna ely. I've had to turn down people," Nadler said. However, the agencies will begin recruiting new volunteers in November. ., �October 13, 1988 Volume 20, No. 7 ALL EST Pat Benatar really is the star of the show An est1mated 6.000 concer1goers entoyed headliner Pat Benatar at Saturdays dry Fallfesl 10 Alumm Arena Also on the bill: the local band.

Nicorette abuse? Inventor dismisses accusations by 'Newsweek· about his nocotine gum By ED KIEGLE Repofter Staf1 B Professor of Physiology Claes Lundgren calmly dismisses accusations that the nicotine-containing gum he helped invent is being widely abused . "The information I am aware of indicates that only a very small fraction of people get hooked on Nicorette," he said of an Aug. 22 article in Newsweek, which referred to the gum as having achieved "maximum hip ness." · U Since March of 1984, Americans have been using Nicorettc: gum to help in the difficult task of quitting smoking. The gum is based on the concept that, in Lundgren's words, "smoking is a drug addiction." To overcome the addiction, be conceived of a method of taking in nicoaine, the addictive agent, without the harmful tobacco smoke. And the idea for Nicorette was born. T he gum works by dispensing a small amount of nicotine into tbe bloodstream of the patient while it is chewed: The longer it is chewed, the more nicotine that is released, up to 2 mg. Used properly, it bas helped millions kick the smoking habit. '"There are a large number of aniclc:s publ is hed by now, and more arc appear ing reg ularly, the majority of which indicale th a t Nicorette definitely has an important role: in smoking cessation, .. Lundgren explained . .. And it is wonh noting that eve n though there may be some 'black. market ' as this (Newswuk) article s uggests. in all countries whe re Nicorene is sold , except one, it is d is pensed as a prescriptio n drug, .. he co ntinued. The o ne exception is Switzerland . where, Lund gren s:1ys, .. they have the att itude that it is less harmful than smoking, and if cigarettes are honprescription, Nicorette s hould also be nonprescription ... He emphasized that, in general. the g um's use is controlled . .. Even in lhe worst cas~. when a smo ker switches to Nicoretr& but does no t give up Nicorette, both he o r s he and the persons around are infinitely bener off." he added. "So I think the abuse o r non-authorized use is a mino r th ing, although the person who wro te the arti cle chose to emphasize that. .. M ost of Lundgren 's time is spent as a professor of physiology and as director of UB's Hyperbaric Researc h Laboratory, which studies physiological effects at extreme depths. He also co nsiders himself .. a spare-time inventor. .. Indeed, he is a spare-time im;entor with over 100 patents and numerous inventions, eight of which are related to underwater breathing apparatuses. He said the borderline between his work in diving physiology and his inventions is ... a maner of definition. .... am working on a large number of projects which , depending on your definition of "invention,· may or may not be patented when I find time to work on them," he continued. "One of the ideas has to do with a new type of building, another has to do with the conversion of salt water into fresh water ... W here docs his inventor's inspiration come from? According to Lund- gren. it's ..just suddenl y seeing things that need to be d o ne - it's very hard to ex plai n the process. It just happens that all the time o ne sto ps and wonders wh y a th ing is not done in a different way, o r why something has no t been done at alL .. To an ex tent , the sa me creative process is at wo rk in his scie nt ifi c research . " In scie nce. wh at yo u a rc loo king fo r is to un d e rs t a nd mec ha n is ms a nd t o ex plai n them," he ex plai ned . .. In venting has a no the r ele me nt to it, th a t is, to c reate so meth ing th a t did n't ex is t before." A nd Nicore tt c co ntmu es to serve as an a lm ost ideal exampl e of the positi ve result s of thi s creati ve process. The res ult s of a Da nis h st ud y, published in th e Jan. 7 New England Journal of Med icine, bo ls t e r cl aim s o f Ni co re ttc: 's effecti veness. " In addit io n to th e research that suppo rts it, there is a ve ry fo rceful statement by th e public. sho wn by th e increasing demand fo r it," Lundgren sa id . According to a repo rt in the Jan. I 8 issue of Business Week , Merrell Dow Pharmace uticals In c. sold S70 million worth of Ni co rettc last year. " I think nothing can s pea k mo re stro ngly of the effective ness of Nicorctte th an the fact th at sales are increasing worldwid e." said Lund- 8 ut he a lso warns that Nicorettc is not a panacea. " It has to be administr red m conjunction with counseling, careful ins truct ions about howJ.t should be used , and follow-up of the progress o f the patients ... he instructed . " What this g um docs not contain is a substitute fo r po or mo ti vat ion. When the gum is not effect ive. it can always be traced back to lack o f pro per guidance o f the patie nts - it is not a stand-al o ne. cure-all remed y for Sl]lOking cessation. .. All studies I am aware of where the gum is distributed in co nj unction with s uch s uppo rtive help sho w that it has far outperformed any other method that has been publis hed serio usly and tested scientilically, and th at runs lhe whole ga mut from Russian therapy, hypnosis, and acupuncture. to psychological treatments of various kind s. " While Lundgren sits in his office amid pools and pressure tanks, Nieorette continues to help people in 40 countries quit smoking.

These resulatioiU govcmina student behavior have bec:n formulated to be reasonable and realistic for all studcou . When a student has been apprehended for the violation of a law of the community, t he state, or nation, it is tbc University's position not to request or agree to special consideration for the studco1t because of his or her student natus. It should be understood that the UniYenity is not a law enforcement agency. At the-same time, the Univtrsity doe:s not conc::eivt of its.cU as a "sanctuary .. fo r law breakers. The Univtn:ity has always been and should continue to be: concerned that whenever students are involved in lcaaJ problems they be: adequately advised and represented by qualifaed counsel. StudcntJ wbo violate a local ordinance. or any law, risk the legal penalties prescribed by civil authorities. H owever, violation of law for which the student pays the penalty wiU not nec:cssarily involve a violation of Kadcmic standarcb or rules of the: Univenity. The Univtrtityeannot be: beld responsibk for off-am pus activities of its individuaiSiudcnts. Ho~ver , ineasesinvolvinaviolations of the law which occur on campus, the: Univt:nity may havt: to be: concerned with the aspccu, which by their nature advt:rsely. affcct the University educ:ationaJ mission. ck,, ny Univenity disciplinary procedure ODe: of the h.iahest prioritic:J or the U ~it y is the safeguard of a student 's Fourteenth Amendment ri&ht to due proceu. Due Process is not an evasive legal concept but rather simply requires the rudimentary clements of "fair play"' in an adversary proceedinc. To this cod, all · University disciplinary procedures will at least afford tbc:defc:ndant aclc:arstatcment of the charges aaainst him o r bcr, and the nature of tht evidence upon wbicb the charges arc based. Secondly. the: defendant shall be given a fair bearing, be allowed to confront and cross-examine witnascs, and present his or her own position, evidence: and explanation. Lastly, no disciplinary action will be taken unless the ch:atJes are substantiated by the evidence. The couns have indicated that if these m.in.imal elements of ..fair play"' arc fulfilled, the defendant will have been afforded due proees:s under tbc law. In summary, the: University expc:ct.s and asks for its membcn no greater or no as · freedom or b'"berty than exists for Ol.bcr persons in soc:iety. The Unr..tnity'l poaition, lhere:fore, is nol co request or agree to special coruidcratjon because of tbe student's status. The University will not interfere with law enforcement aDd other qencic:s.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Unlike an autoclave, which takes 15 to 20 minutes to sterilize objects using heat. Duthie's BUD Ul traviolet Device uses ultraviolet light to sterilize objects in mere seco nds. It is able to sterilize crev· ices that other ultraviolet devices can't reach. The device, using ultraviolet .. dynamic sterilization, .. is able to sterilize surgical instruments and titanium implants that secure maxillofacial prostheses used for dental and facial reconstruction . B urrently, BUD Industries is awaiting funding from the National Institutes of Health and is applying to the FDA for recommended clinical trials before manufacturing and marketing.

Brucx Johnstone said Sept. 28 he will ask 1he State for an 8.4 per cent increase in the SUNY budget for the new bud get year that btgins April I. The request includes no increases in tuition or fees for students who are State residents. But the seco nd stage of a nonresident tuition increase will raise costs for out-of-State students by S750. Johnstone desc ribed the req uest as a " hold·lhe· line"' budget , the Buffalo News reported . II would fund only th ose increases necessitated by the negotiated salary and wage hikes. as well as those due to inflationary costs and con tractu al expenses. "'They certainly won~ call it profligate," J ohnstone said of the proposed budget. "Nor wi ll th ey bt su rprised by it. .. C Bu t on Sept. 29. Gov. C uomo said the proposed budget. wh ile a step in the ri ght direction. doesn't match the efficiencY of ot her S tate agencies. the Buffalu Nt'ws reported Friday. .. I must tell you I like the direction ... C uomo said ... But requests that are multiples of the inflation rate by two or three are not necessarily the most helpful kinds of invitations to cooperate." Johnstone 's proposal, which must have the approval of the SUNY trustee s before it goes to Cuomo, calls for an increase of Sl l8.5 million . up 8.4 per cent this year. SUNY had asked for an I I per cent budget increase last year and an 11. 3 per cent increase th e year before . I n other business. Johnstone announced that fall enrollment at the 64 campuses is 380.008 stud ents. T hi s is up by more than 10.000 students from last year. the la rgest numerical increase since 1980. Nearl y 40 per cent of the I 988 New York State high sc hool graduates app lied for admission to a SUNY state-operated ca mpus. he said . The numbtr of applicants has been increasing each year since 1985. Put a no ther way , Johnstone said , the classroom population of SUNY now exceeds the com bined populations of Roch ~1.e r and Albany. At the 34 State campuses di rectly adminis tered b y SUNY. e nr ollment totaled 202,805 . an increase of 3.976 or two per cent - over last fall Undergrad uate enrollme nt to taled 165.671 . an increase of 2,828 . The graduate population reached 37.134. up 1. 148. At the 30 two-year community colleges that are part of SUNY , enroll· men! totaled I 77, 128. an inc rease of 6.708, or nearl y four per cent, over last fall"s enrollment of I 70.420. A s was the case last year. full-time enrollment at the community colleges was very strong. John stone said . It c limbtd to 89.940. an inc rease: of 9,310. This was offset somewhat by a decline of 2.596 in part· time students. J oh nsto ne said that whi le the enro llment totals were most encouraging, especially in a time when high school graduating classes are declining, they did not fully reflect what he termed "the incredible range of opport unity within the University ... He added: "' Last yea r. in addi tion to fu ll- and part-time studen ts, the re were 389,000 registra t ions in non-credit courses over a six-month period of classes.

The:: fact is that the system is dominated by the:: industria lized natio ns. The ideas, products, books, and journal s a nd the methodologies and orien tations of the:: industri alized nations dom inate the system. The publishers in the West issue the vast majority of the world's scientific literature. More than ninety per ce nt of the world 's R and D expenditures take place in the industrialized nati o ns. Englis h. a nd to a lesse r extent, French and Ru ssia n. se rve as the major internati o nally used scientific languages. The sys te m places countries on the periphery, and this includes all of the developing natio ns of the Third World as well as so me of the smaller European nations, at a considerable disadvantage. Foreign stud y is very much a pan of th is nexus of inequalit y. Too often, stru ctural inequalities are forgotten as people of good will try to implement programs and formulate policy. Foreign students, after all, stud y the curriculum of the host country. in the language of the host co un~ry . The . policies of th e host co un ~nes determ1nc the config urati on of forc 1gn stud y.

In a · se nse, foreign student s provide key services at low wages. Many foreign student s remain in the West and become pan of th e " brain drain ...

Typically, Third World students find it difficult to establish friendships with their Western compeers. The academic system is different. Language is often a handicap at first. Adjustment problems are serious and sometimes result in severe psychological dislocation . Most students survive and complete the ir degrees. But the problems encountered by foreign students, including overt racis m in many instances, should not be: underestimated . In part to assist foreign students and in part to handle the administrative details, a sub-profession has appeared Developmentally ·disabled have sexual ·needs, too By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporter StaH T he developmentally disabled ~u st learn about their sex ualIt y, even if society is skittish about the issue, a Universi ty of Hawai i professor said here Friday. " It ·s not what they llo. but what we th ink about what they do ," Harvey Gochros said during a Center for Tomorrow lecture sponsored by the School of Nursing's Continuing Education Program. And what people think about the sexual activi ties of the developmentall y disabled. said Gochros. is influenced by ideas about sex th2.t society has instilled . ochros' lecture was pan of an allday program on the legal. ethical . social. and se xual issues confro nting those who care for the developmentall y disabled . Gochros, wh o co nfessed to being "a card carrying member of the Na tional Association of Social Workers." added that "sex ualit y must be understo od within its social context. We can't look at sexuality even wi th in the famil y of a developmentall y di sabled person . with o ut asking how is that family influenced by social val ues?" G F urther, he said . the most common sex ual activity among the developmentally disabled , mastu rbation , does not lead to pregnancy. According to Gochros. " the further away (a sex ua l activity) is from such an end , the more undesirable it is. t he more we think we should intervene and that we should have policies against it ... Thus, masturbation "can't give yo u AIDS . (and yet) social workers and nurses feel uncomfort able about it. " He added: "The very word . masturbati on, reveaJs how we feel about it. It belongs with words like spinal meningiti s a nd mononucleosis and it was brought to you by the sa me people. the people who brought you words like diphtheria.

In the 1960s, he said, " the climate of o pinion" a bout sex was "if it feels go od. do it. Thai was 1hc era of Masters and Johnson where everyo ne was striving for bigger and better orgasms." st udent s are fully subsidized by the host co untry. The economic costs to the ~se nding- co untries can be considerable . For a nation like Malaysia. which has more students studying ou tside the cou ntry than in it. the costs of sending studen ts abroad are considerable, and must be paid in foreign exchange. Added to th e direct costs of sponso red students are the mdirrct costs of expenditures on the educatio n of students within Malaysia (ofte n through the bachelor's degree) who may not return. A broader issue is whether it is more cost effective to invest in building very costly academic institutions versus sending students abroad to st udy. Thus, the macroeconomics of foreign stud y is a highl y complex and controversial matter. T here has been very little attention given to the microeco nomics of foreign stud y - the impact on student s and their families. Financing stud y abroad is very difficult for Third World families. yet a majority of foreign students are not funded by government or university so urces. Most privatel y funded students come from well-to-d o urban families. Yet, there are often difficulties ~ith foreign exchange. problems with unanticipated expenses and the like. Students from Iran after the downfall of the Shah and from Nigeria after the collapse of oil prices faced seven: difficulties - and these two countries moved from among the largest .. sending" countries to a much more modest place. Related to economic problems are the inevitable problems of individual adjustment that foreign students have. The change is dramatic. Third World students typically leave a close fam1ly fo r the individualized role of a student in the West. Norms. values, and in the Uni ted States and other major host countries. Foreign student advisors. visa specialists, and evaluators of foreign academic credentials are now part of the staff of many large universi ties. In the U.S ., the National Association for Foreign Students Affairs has a membership of 20.000. An ancillary, and sometimes a bit shady. foreign study industry has appeared as well. Recruitment firms promise Asian st udents a place in an American university, sometimes not telling them that an unknown college in the wilds of Oklaho ma is not equivalen t to Harvard . Such recruiters help to fill the seats of struggling American colleges th atl:annot compete for domestic students. English language coaching sc hools are widespread and promise to help students pass the all-important TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) test. Indeed. the Educational Testing Service. which administers the TOEFL. earns a sig nificant income from the tests. Fo reign study has become a major international phenomenon. While the tremendous increase in the numbers of foreign students which characterized the 1970s has ended, the numbers of students from Asia going to the industrialized nations to study continues to grow. Foreign study is an important economic, po1itica1, and, of course. intellectual and academic matter. It behooves everyone co ncerned - policy makers in government and universities. the academic community and st udents and their families - to understand its full ramifications. Internationalism in higher education is here to stay. $ Ph1lip G . Altbach. a UB faculty member. 1s cu rrently a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution and visiting prolessor at Stanlord.

In thi s gloomy social climate. he added. the parents of the developmen· tally disabled . already "preoccupied with their children's vulnerability," become even less inclined to encourage them to be sexually active. But even in more clement times. parents and even sociaJ workers have been reluctant to encourage the sexual activity of the developmentally disabled . This is because. according to Gochros. one fun damental belief underlies all our changing attitudes about sex: th at all sexual activity should eve ntuall y lead to ··a socially approved pregnancy.·· Gochros called thi.s belief "the reproductive bias.·· enerally, sexual activit y among the develo'pmentally disabled d oes not lead to "socially approved pregnancy ." To be approved by society. pregnancy must be the result of intercourse between members of what Gochros called "the sexual elite:" those who are .. married . heterosexual. health y. able-bodied. intelligent, economicaJiy so und , and young.·· G TV and the movies. he con tinued, reflect this reproductive bias. Romantic relationships in these media almost always invo lve those who belong to the "sex ual elite ... We rarely see exceptions to this standard , GOchros said. even in a movie like Tim, .. where the answer to the burning question, 'can a white, intelligen t, attractive, and relatively young woman fall in love with and have sex with a retarded man?' is ' yes, if he's Mel Gibson.' " "These people have the right to know as much about sex as they can integrate at their level of intelligence . . .. - HARVEY GOCHROS another human being.·· These needs are demonstrated by the fact that the developmentally disabled "arc just as capable and just as frequently fall in love as other people." They also need sex simply as a so urce of st imulation in an often mon otonous existent(. And in the case of the seve re ly retarded , sexual aclivity such as masturbation provides not only stimulation, but a health y alternalive to " banging their heads against the wall" and other selfdestructive behavior. Gochros think s that the developmentally disabled have the right to know as much about sex .. as they can integrate at their level of intelligence," and should be provided with the "right to marry if they are capable of enjoying it." However, he is not, in most cases, advocating sexual intercourse for them. "There's a lot," he said, mod ifying the wo rd s of Gail Sheehy, "between intercourse and a handshake." Keeping this range of possibility in mind. nurses and social workers can "facilitate people enjoying wha t nature has given them." $ �October 6, 1988 Volume 20, No. 6 Ads for birth control prove effective • UB study finds that media campaign can lead young women to be more aware & change their attitudes By SUE WUETCHER IMUSIC THROUGHOUT) SONG : Longer than there' ve been fishes in the ocean, htgher than any bird ever flew, longer than .. pages. the sam ple.

In the case o f two peo ple who arc especially close, Frantz says, th is process of forgiving may "go straight to th e cathartic stage. You confront the person who has hun yo u. and yo u have a huge fight with a lot of yelling and screami ng."" he illustrates. "This is a necessary re lease before going on to forgive ." hat eve r me th od one chooses. Sherlick and Fran tz believe that forgiving is more beneficial to the forgiver than the perso n forgiven .. In fact , says Sherlic k. the offender m1ght not even know o r ca re that he or she has hun the other. It is irrelevant for true forgiving, which to her mind is "'.a rational decision to hel p yo urself. ... It s a coming back to the self. It"~ very freeing." If people can forgive , can they also forget? Sherlick offers this advice:" After we have forgiven so meo ne, we: a~e not obligated to li ke that person agam , or feel the same way." The benefits of forgiving, she says. "are the feelings of freedom and se lf-co mpa ssiO n that accompany it." In forgiving others, Frantz and Sherlick. concur, we return the powe r .to be happy to ourselves, and exorctse forever the ghost of old wounds.

By ED KIEGLE Reporte1 Stat! he Umversuy of Vienna was profoundly affected by the annexation of Austria by Hitler on March 12. 1938. Edith Sau rer, an associate professo r and social historfln there. was in Bu ffa lo Monday to desc ribe the extent of that effect on T the: fac ult y and student s at the untvc rslly. ''Professors dtd not resist the Nazis," Saurer expla1ncd to the crov.d crammed int o 532 Park Hal l. "On the da y of the annexation. the vice cha ncello r and representatives from the universi ty se nt their co ngratulati ons. On March 22. most Austrian professors swo re an oath of allegia nce to Hitler." Sa urer's research focuses on the social htst ory of Italy and Austria tn th e 18th and 19th cent unes. However. she IS also Interested in the hastory of women's reli · giOslly. Two years ago she considered start ing an mslltute of wome n's studies at the Unive rsity of Vienna. ''Then I became ante: rcsted m the hastory of the uni ve rsity . especially the tim e aro und the Ar~sc hlu ss (annexation).·· sa1d Saurer.

" Even before th e A nschluss. student s had anti-Se mitic demonstrations and showed support for the Socialists ... Saurer said . " By May 2, Jcwash students needed a special pass to e nt er the umversi ty. . .On Nov. II . they were no longer allowed to stud y. "Jewish fac ult y and other faculty consad ered ' politically unreliable ' received letters 1n April of 1938 ... she added . "The letters saad they were not allowed to teach . By Ap ril 10. a ll Jewish lec tur ers I ~ :; had been re moved ." In the medicaJ school, for example. 132 of the 197 facult y members left . according to Saurer. Some of the faculty were se nt to conce ntration camps. so me emigrated, but onl y eight returned after the Nazis had been defeat ed . " Postwar Austria made no effort to call therri back," said Saurer. T he removal of half of the facult y caught the atte ntion of the power hungry professors wh o remained . .. Suddenly. party membership and political co nnection s could determine an academic career ... Saurer said . She added : ''A nother consequence of lhe emigration was lhat Sociology and Social Medicine (departments) were replaced by an institute caJled ' racial biology·.-- ln fact , eleven new .. institutes" were established . Among these were the Institute for Drama, the Institute for J o urnalism, the Institute of Sport, the Institute of Women's Domestic Work , and the Institute of the History of the Postal Service. -The Institute of the History of the Postal Service was fo unded by the Ministry of the Paste.·· said Saurer. "The Edilh Saurer: On !he day of annexalion, !he vice chancellor sen! congralulations to the Germans. University of Vienna had never experienced such government control. It always used to have autonomy." ~ She continued : ..The Institute of Journali sm was moved to the Philosophy Depanment, but the negotiations had been worked out by the Ministry of Propaganda before the university was notified of the move." Saurer suggested that the institute could have been easily subjugated to produce Nazi propaganda. "The initiative for the institutes came from outside the university, and they all focused on the practical aspects of the subject, .. she said. Perhaps the most blatant example is the Institute of Women's Domes tic Work, which instructed women in how to teach cleaning, sewing, cooking, and child-raising at girls' schools. .. The University of Vienna's role as a link to Southern Europe was never realized by the Nazis primarily because financial constraints prevented the systematic development of the SociaJist programs," Saurer concluded . First. 1988 marks the 50th anniversary of the An.schlws. Second. Saurer noted, 1988 is the year of Austrian acceptance of the eve nt. "There was very little resistance to the Nazis in 1938, and Austrians canno t say 'the past is gone, we should not keep thinking, about it'." she said . Saurer's lecture was part of a series of discussions on · German history. On Tuesday. Ursula Vogel of the University of Manchester. England, spoke on the legaJ history and rights of ,women throughout 18th century Europe. On Oct. 10. there will be a day long colloquium on .. The Two Germanies Since 1945."

T Fast paced WALKtoberfest scheduled for October 23 By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reponer Staff U B faculty. staff and their families won 't need wings on their walking shoes to win at W A LKtoberfest '88 . on Oct. 23. To have a chance at pri~a nging from pizzas to speciaJ walking shoes, all the y have to do is pre-register by Oct. 7. If they miss preregistration, they can register on Oct. 23 before 9 a.m. Among the many events sc heduled in this "fast paced morning .... organized by exercise science seniors are 2K and SK "fun walks." These will be followed by a prize drawing. The program will also include "testing for back nexibility and blood pressure, n'u trition and stretching clinics, and fit ness screening," said Exercise Science Professor Diane DeBacy. WALKtoberfest '88 is being sponsored by the Division of Athletics and UB Healthy, in addition to the Program in Exercise Science. A fitness walking demonstration will precede the "funwalks," so participants .. need not be familiar with the spon," said DeBacy. Also, the walks that will follow .. are not races,'"' she emphasized, but rather offer a chance to try ou t "'the newly learned technique." D will eBacy hopes UB facult y and staff take advantage of this opportunity to .Qecome involved in what she considers .. one of the best possi ble fitness ac tivities. You can bum as man y calories per mile as yo u can running, for the most pan . It reduces ca rdiovasc ular risk factors and stress. and it's virtually injury free ... ·· Plus, ·· added exercise science major he lecture was especially timely for two reasons in the speaker's view. Deborah Murphy. "everyone can walk ... Murphy and fellow exercise science major Trish Zdep cited a figure attesting to the gene ral appeal of the spon : "There are 55 million walkers in America today and this number is growing .... The major walk course, said Zdep, will be o n the Amherst Campus ... starting at Alumni . Then it goes around the bookstore. around Ellicott. over by Gover- CD nors. to the spine a little bit, and then back to Alumni ... After the walks are over, Zdep continued, "'we're going to have prizes for our youngest and oldest participants and maybe some other categories. and then we're going to have a drawing," to distribute the rest of the prizes. Another pan of the W ALKtoberfest program is the clinic testing for back flexibility . ... Lower back pain is a major cause of absenteeism, .. and thus is .. one of the most costly disabilities to the work force," said Murphy. "Usually this is ca used by muscular weakness which we can screen for ." xercise science students have not only organized WALKtoberfest , they have "designed it, done the fundraising for it, and the leg work." said DeBacy. "Each event,.. she continued, .. is directly related to their curriculum ... Thus one of the purposes of the project is for students "to gain practical experience in the field,"'in addition to ...rendering an important service to the community." "I hope," concluded DeBacy, "that the faculty and staff will support Ibis event in a way equal to tbe students' enthusiasm for staging this event." E 4D �October 6, 1988 Volume 20, No. 6 By DAVID M.

I think most of the academic adm inistrators do teach and do like to teach ," Daly says. Perhaps it 's because teaching repre· sents a cha nge of pace from the day-today gri nd of run ning the University. It also gives them co nt act with the people whose lives their decisions shape. Or maybe administrat o rs just plain l.ike to teach.

We see Sample as an extraordi nari ly fine teacher. We did not choose a n administrat or just because we thought it would be fun . n Herreid said that having admi nistra· tors teach is an ideal situation. " It's go od fo r the stud en ts. It's also good because it means that the administrators a re in touch with stude nts ...

" It 's on ly the press ure of day- to-day wo rk that keeps me fro m teach ing eac h semes ter." he notes. Sample ackn o wledges that that is the case fo r man y admi nist rators. ··No administrator should teach if it's going to damage his effectiveness as an adminis· trator." However. he feels that '"the idea of senio r academic administrators at the Uni versit y having co ntact with stude nt s is imponant." Sam ple says viewpoints expressed by students in hi s class help to shape hi s opinio ns . .. I'm a human being. My ideas change and evo lve.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Fort he frrst time in its 142-year history, U B enrollment has topped the 28,000-student mark, according to figures released this week by Jeffrey E. Dutton, director of institutional studies. The precise enrollment is 28,005 and surpasses last fall's figure of 27,477 by 528 or 1.9 ~er ce~t. . · Dutton sa1d the mcrease IS due to several factors . These include growth in graduate and transfer student enroUments, increased retention of entering freshmen, and "highly successful" efforts to recruit minority student . e added that UB ~ived nearl y 17,200 application• to fill about 2,900 spaces in thi• year's freshman cla.<S. That is. only about one in six of the arplicants could be &ccommodated. he said. The higher demand for spots at UB can be attributed . Dutton said . to better recruitment efforts, positive prus about UB and its faculty, and the increasing cost differcn· tial between public and private schools. " We may also be benefiting from thr phrnomenon that suge IJ that the more selective one gets . the greater is the demand for the product." H still strong t/ Transfers up by 200 utton said the Univrrsity had originally planned for an ovrrall enrollment of 25,713. Howcvrr. in the late· pring of th is year, SUNY Central forwarded what has been called "revenur required enrollment tarxeu." These called for an additional 1,300 students at UB. •ilccausc of the ~n t unprecedented demand amonx prospective students." Dutton said . "UB met and su rpassed the increased expectations. We enrolled nearly 2,300 more students than called for in the orisinal plan, and nearly 1,000 more than were called for in th e D more recent revenue required request." he quality of the freshman class shows continued improvrment, Dutton added. For instance, the average combined SAT score of regular, non-foreign students is 1104, up nine points from 1987, and up 68 points since 1984. "For the second con.ec:utive year, the mean high school grade point average is 90, up from 87 in 1984. The mean high school rank for 1988 freshmen is the 86th percentile, up from 8S in 1~87, and 77 in 1984. " Ninety-four per cen t of this year's freshmen earned hish school averages of 85 or above, Dutton reported. Thirty-nine per cent of them placed in the top ten per cent of their graduating classes, compared to 36 percent in 1987 and 25 percent in 1984. A strong 60 per cent placed in the top 15 per cent of their graduating class, compared toSS per cent in 1987, and 37 per cent in 1984, he added . T By ANN WHITCHER erhaps the most encouraging aspect of the figures is the growth in minority enrollment, Dutton said. At the undergraduate level, the number of underrepresented minorities (blacks, Hispanics, and Ameri9!J1. Indian students) enrolled at U 8 increased by 8. 7 per cent over last fall. Of those for whom race is known, 8.9 per cent arc underrepresented minority P • See-~ page 2 �September 29, 1988 Volume 20, No. 5 ENROLLMENT . . . . . . . .~. . . . . . . students. ''More significantly," Dutton sa id . ··underrepresented minority students account for 12.7 per cent of the new first-time freshmen at UB this fall .. He added: "Tbe improving inSiiiUtional image and better articulation agreemeniS with SUNY 1wo-year schools are largely responsible for !his, despile dramatic declines in the number of stu~ dents attending two-year campuses during !he 1980s." Graduate enrollment remains strong as well. "Las! fall"s all-lime high record graduate enrollment has been nearly equalled !his year (8,727 in 1988 vs. 8. 763 in 1987)." In 1his respec1 . UB appears 10 be a national leader. Dunon said . According to an Aug. 10 article in the Chronicle of Higher £ducat ion, only one in four univers it ies and colleges has improved its enrollments of blacks, Hispa nics. and Asians. The Chronicle story on campus trends drew on a st udy conducted by the American Cou ncil on Education. Dutton sajd . B's transfer enrollment also corilinues 10 g row.

By this procedure, hemoglobin will be mod ified in an attempt to overcome two drawbacks in the propenies of the natu· ral protein. "The problem is that when you take hemoglob in outside of bood cells, it has a number of propenies that make it a poor oxygen trans porter." Noble noted. "The molecule dissociates into smaller uniu that pass through the kidneys and are lost in urine. It also has too high of an affinity for oxygen on its own, binding so tightly with oxygen that it will nol release it 10 the tiss ues in the body. " N oble, whose researc h has focused on hemoglobin for 24 years, said it is hoped that the appropriately a hered hemoglobin produced by him and his colleagues in the project can then. in turn , be manufactured in large quantilies in£. coli. "It's imponanl to s treu that applies· tions are a long way dt>wn the road.'" he added. " At the moment, we are trying to learn how to produce a molecule that would work ouuide red blood celiJ. But given such a molecule, one would have to learn how to manufacture it in large enough quantities. I'm sure that's solvable, bul that's not whal we're working on." Noble is chief of .t he Laboratory of Protein Chemistry at Veterans Admin istration Medical Center. Working with him on tbe project are two research chemists at the medical center, Laura Kwiatkowski, research assisl.ant professor of medicine at UB; and Alice Wile, research assistant instructor in medicine. CD �September 29, 1988 Volume 20, No. 5 SMOIIIG AT WORK Sample, unions sign guidelines • Starting Oct . 1, smoking will be prohibited in work areas unless all employees agreE)QtO allow it By MARK E. RUFF Aeponer Slall Culminating two years of union and management negotiations, President Steven B. Sample Monday signed a set of guidelines for smoking in the workplace. The guidelines, which go into effect, Mon<iay, Oct. 3, prohibit smoking in all bathrooms and locker rooms. Smoking is also prohibited in any regularly assigned work space - unless all of the employees agree to allow it, the guidelines state. Copies of the new policy will soon be distributed to all offices on campus. cuing thi s proccu 1n moti o n S Gove rnor's Orricc: of Employee was u memorandum from the Relaliona. iuucd a bout two years ogo. It urged all State agencies to develop these guidelines jointly with union officials . Consequen tl y, a.._Aommittce was formed at U 0 led by 18111ciate Vice President for Human Resources Clifford Wilson . The committee included management and union representatives. Wilson commented: " I think it i• important to note that labor and manaacmcnt agreed to this policy. This isn~ something the compus administrators arc ohovina down our throou. Politi· cally. this Is a criticol thing in thot un ion• helped cooperate ond really believe atronaly in what we've done." Sample alJo cmphuizcd the importance of thio joint effort. "I think this policy ~p~senll a aood step forwtird for the University in terms of havina a policy which will be a buis for molvina disputes ... the union leaders and the management leaders have worked together and reached a unallimous decision. I think if we take that approach more often. we11 all be a lillie bellcr off." T he new auidclinea arc intended to uphold the righu of both smokers and non-smoke,... According to Sample, the 8081 was to reach .. some sort of an accommodation." He added : "One of the thing• that I liked is that it dldn~ take sidcA. It rccogoiJCJ thAI p<!oplc have a right to u s mokc·free environment and thut people huvc the right to •mokc." Similarly. Harvey Axlcrod . the rcprc•cntativc or the lluffalo Center chapter of the United Unlvc,..lty Profession• tuliP). maintained that "'the trick wu• fi nding a balunce that both cou ld coexist with . .. We were definite that we were not going to be punitive toward smoking and we were not goina to ~ inac nsitivc toward non-smokero." Axlcrod stated . " ) think that this is the firll attempt to codIfy it ." Consequently, no amokl ng is allowed In any campus ~a that constitutes the regularly aulancd work space unless all of the employees usigoed to that space agree to allow amok ina. Similarly, smoking is pro!Ubited in conference and meet ina rooms unlcJJ all panics aarec that It should be otherwise. If a smoker, however, is usigncd tp a non-smokina a~a. he or she should~ allowed to leave the workplace for occac:cional breaks. Likewise. such "smoking llh:aks" a~ permiued durina meetings. Flexibility l1thc key word for this policy, Wilson said, st~ssina that employees and bosses should try to molvc any disputes on their own. "We're sUJU!Citing a representative of the CSEA. "ultimately. the non-smoker will p~vail in such a connict." Similarly. Wilso~ mentioned that the SUNY College at Ocncsco has adopted a policy or banning smoking altogether in the workplace. encath the controversy is a ~calt h iuuc, Wilson maintained. The Unithat smok.ina con tltutcs a serious health haurd. he said. "If smokers want to ru in their own lunp. it 's 8versity rccoaniz.cs "Flexibility is the key word. Bosses and employees should try to settle any disputes on their own. . " their own problem. If lhey want to ruin ulhcr pcoplc '!l lungs. thrn h'' a d iffe rent muller entirely. " Nrv-crthclcss. the prcdom1nont YICW was that of optimism . Accordin1 to way to do th h. but we 're saymg thut employees should work out the •ituation ... he said . "Some employee have been very creati ve. " I think there"• enough ncxibility there so that it (the guideline•) will fit every situation. I'm optimistic that people arc pretty much of aoodwill ... Wilson added . If the "aoodwill of the University community members"' is not sufficient to resolve all dlsputcs. then union• or the committee can be notified. he said . However, the rights of the non-smoker will prevail if the situation cannot be resolved . According to Kathy Bcrchou. Sample. the lengthy debate over the guidelines will sc-rvr as an auct. " In a Univcni ty. when yo u have a policy that wa• ac hieved through a lot of diJCUIIlon and in time people adop t that policy ... it becomes part of the majority policy." The policy •hould further help people to quit smoking. Berchou said . ""You can make It caller for them (to quit smoking) if you offer them the opponunity to do so in the work sclling." The majority of those allendina the signing ceremony then admitted to being ex-smokers themselves. Concl uded Wilson : " lm not so naive to think that we won~ have some problem•. but I think that when we do. wc11 be able to resolve them in a succeJSful manner... G Quit Clinic offers the chance to kick Jhe habit By MARK E. RUFF Stall Reporter Smoking traditionally conjures up images of vile air, lung cancer, and emphysema. Yet addressing individual behavior, thoughts, and feelings is most effective at weeding out the habit, said public health educator Jim Powers. Research by the American Cancer Society shows that this approach is the most successful one. commented Powers. who plana to lead a Life Workshop entitled "Fmh Stan - Smoker's Quit ., Clinic .. next month. . \J Consequently.

This set of procedures is designed to establish a welldefined but flexible structure including in its purview the issues unique to graduate edu'*'tion as well as academic areas common to all facultyfudent or administration-student relationships. The grievance procedures constitute a framework for the orderly and expeditious resolution of disputes. Effectiveness and efficiency, therefore. are key elements of such a framework . However. the concern of the G·raduate School goes well beyond an administrative interest in providing steps to be taken when one of its members haSJI quarrel with another. While recognizing and affirming the established principle that academic determinations are to be reached solely by academic professionals. it is the School's intention that to the mzximum extent feasible its procedures secure equitable treatment to every party to a dispute. To that end. those who oversee the grievance process are charged to pay heed not only to issues of procedural integrity but also to considerations of substantive fa irn ess. I Procedures 1. Definition and Jurladlctlon A. A grievance shall include but not be restricted to a complaint by a graduate student: 1 . that there had been to one's self a violation. misinterpretation or inequitable application of any of the regula!~ of the University, Graduate School; Faculty or Departmm.t. or 2. that there has been unfair or inequitable treatment by reason of any act or condition contrary to established policy or practice governing or affecting gradua!e students. B. A grievance must be tiled within one year from the date of the alleged olfense. This time limit may be extended by the Graduate Dean upon good cause. 11. Grievance Resolution Proc_. ad;';;i~~;;'a~Z/~~~1: The department or comparable 1. Informal discussion: Virtually all disputes originate at the department or comparable administrative unit and should. if feasi ble. be resol ved informally by the disputants. These part1es should attempt to resolve amicably the dispute rnvolved. It may be useful for the stud ent to seek the assistance first of h1s I her advisor and then of the department chairperson or director of graduate studies as a mediator to resolve the issue even-handedly. 2. Formal review: The student who feels the grievance is severe should request a hearing with the departmental gnevance committee. Th e chairperson shall rule on the case with1n 30 days of rece1ving the grievance or stipulate in writing the reason(s) why this is impossible. If the department chairperson is the party against whom the grievance is brought. either as a teaching faculty member or as chairperson. an associate charr or director of graduate studies shall convene and chair the gnevance committee. B Divisional Level . If the student wishes to appeal the departmental ruling. the written statement of the grievance shall be filed (within 30 days) with the Divisional Dean . If the Dean finds the statement of grievance prov1des reasonable grounds to grieve or raises doubt of prior appropriate review. he/ she; shall convene a Grievance Committee to review the dispute. The committee shall issue a written statement (within 60 days of its receipt of grievance) indicating 1ts findings . recommendations and the reason s for the recommendations to the pertinent parties to the dispute, the departmental chairperson. the Divisional Dean and the Office tor Graduate Education. 1. Composition of the Committee. The Divisional Grievance Commillee shall include a minimum of three faculty "members and one graduate student. but shall not include repre sentatives from the department involved in the grievance. . The Divisional Dean shall select the commntee members from the Divisional Panel which consists of at least one faculty and one student representative of each department. At the beginning of each new academic year. the composition of the Divisional Panel will be forwarded to the Office for Graduate Education. The process lor selecting Divisional Panel members will be determined by each Division. The members of these committees shall be selected so that no panel member is involved in a disproportionate number of grievances. Each principal to the dispute shall have the option of requesting, without stipulating the reason, the replacement of one member of the commillee hearing the grievance. If any principals find other members or replacements inappropriate. the party shall transmit. within ten days of the naming of the committee, a written statement of the grounds of this "challenge tor cause" to the Divisional Dean who shall rule on its merits and either retain or replace the committee member so challenged. Each panel member selected shall have the option of disqualifying himself or herself from the commillee by stipulating reason s why this panel member feels unable to deal unbiasedly on the grievance. 2. Operating Procedures The Divisional Dean shall give the Divisional Grievance Committee copies of the written grievance. all documentation and recommendat ions from the departmental proceedings, as well as a copy of the Grievance Procedures for Graduate Students. The principals shall also receive a copy of this tile. Each principal shall receive copies of all information presented to the committee. The committee shall convene review(s ) necessary to allow both principals the opportunity to present their positions and shall allow each principal the right to question the presentation (written or verbal) of those who contribute information to the committee. Each principal shall have the right to be present' and to have one or two advisors present at all reviews. In no case shall the advisor be an attorney unless he/she is a member of the faculty not acting in the capacity of a member of the bar. Such review shall be conducted in confidence. A record of each meeting of the committee shall be kept and transmitted to the principals. The committee shall issue a written statement (within 60 days of rece ipt of grievance) indicating its findings . recommendatrons and the reasons for the recommendation s to the pertinent part1es to the dispute. the departmental chairperson. the Divisional Dean and the Office for Graduate Education. Notice will be. by certified mail. The grievant will be allewed 30 days from receipt of notice to appeal. C.

The student grievant must submit three (3) copies of a written statement to the Graduate Dean describing the specific reason(s) tor the requested appeal. 2. The Dean of the division in question must certify that the student grievant has exhausted all procedures provided within the division and that the Dean's decision is a final decision at the division. In general. the Graduate Dean will consider only those appeals in which there is good cause to believe that prior proceedings have resulted in a decision contrary to law, the Policies of the Trustees. or policies of SUNY at Buffalo. In general. the Graduate Dean will not consider appeals which merely challenge the appropriateness of a judgment reached alter a full and fa ir review and disposition of a matter by th e department and the dea!' of the division. Procedure The initial appeal petition mus be submitted by the grievant within 30 days of receipt of the final decision at the division level. The Grad uate Dean (or a designee) will review the petition submitted by the grievant and make a preliminary deterrniRation regarding the jurisdiction of the Graduate Dean. If it is determined that the Graduate Dean should not exercise jurisdiction, the grievant will be so informed, and given leave to file an amended statement of grievance. Notice will be by certified mail, and the grievant will be allowed 30 days from receipt of the notice to fi le an amended statement. If no amended statement is filed , or if an amended statement 1S still judged deficient on jurisdictional grounds, the appeal will be dismissed. and notice of dismissal of the appeal will be sent to the grievant by certified mail. If it is determined that the Graduate Dean should exercise jurisdiction, the Graduate Dean or designee. within 30 days of rece ipt of the appeal petition, shall: 1. Forward a copy of the student's statement of grievance to the divisional Dean. 2. Give the Divisional Dean an opportunity to respond to the student's statement of grievance. · 3.

Such decision shall 'be ______.....,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ t,- �sent certified mail, return receipt requested. with a copy to the University Provost At any point in the proceedings the Grad'uate Dean may make a determination that jurisdiction was inappropriately taken, and may dismiss the petition on that ground. In such case. written notice of the jurisdictional determination, and the reasons thereof, w111 be prov1ded to the parties. If the Graduate Dean decides that further review is necessary, he will consult with whatever parties he deems appropriate and determine what additional review is necessary. Confldentl•lltv of Proceedings principals shall h e the obligation-to maintain the confidentiality of t roceed ings and of such materials or testimony presen d 1 review pr.oceedings. until a decision is formally reache If br ,ach o) confidentiality is formally brought to the attention f the· Graduate Dean, the Graduate Dean may choose to corsi~r this breach as a case of possible misconduct. Such consideration shall lake precedence over the pending grievance, and a misconduct review shall be transmitted in writing. to the principals and shall be placed in the file of the grievance proceedings. Such findings may then be considered in any subsequent review of the grievance. Once the Graduate Dean initiates a grievance review. Graduate School Policies On Academic Standards Good Academic Standing ood academic standing means that a student is making acceptable progress towards a graduate degree and is eligible to register and take academic coursework at this university for th~urrent semester. All graduate stud ents are expected to remain in Good Academic Standing throughOut the entire course of their study. G Minimum Ac.demlc Requirements for Good Aca demic Standing established by the Graduate School are as follows (individual divisions may establish additional academic -.......::_ stan dards): t . Exclusive of "S" grades. courses submitted for candidacy 1n a master's or doctoral program must average a " B" (3.00) grade point average or better. 2. An "S" grade will be awarded only in those instances where a student's letter grade would have been a "C" (2.00) grade point or better. Other Academic requirements than those imposed by the Graduate School are determined by the program faculty and approved by the appropriate Graduate School Divisional Committee. All graduate students are expected to demonstrate competence in tea c hing and research with respect to th elf educational needs and career objectives. Academic Review /Probation Any graduate student who receives a grade of "U," " F." or "D" in any course required for completion of a degree program·, who falls below the minimum academic requirements stated above, or who indicates a lack of ability as determined by th e program fac ulty, will receive an immediate academic review by h is or her graduate program faculty. Upon completion of the academic review, the graduate program laculty may place the student on academic probation. Such notice will be made in writing by the Department Cha11 or designee prior to th e end of the Add/Drop period of th e next semester and will ind1cate th e terms of the Probat1on and 1ts removal. ·e.g., seminar or research course, practicum, student teachmg course. mternship. fteld course or simifar appftcatton course or thests. '" Academic Dismissal and Transcripts Any graduate student not meeting th e written term s of his or her academic probation may be academically dismissed from the University by their departm ent/gra'cluate program. Such dismissals shall be done in a timely fashion but no later than three weeks after the completion of the semester final examinations. The Office for Graduate Education will be notified in writing of all such academic dismissals. , Graduate students who are dismissed for academic reasons from a graduate program will have a notation placed ori their graduate transcripts indicating that they were academically dismissed and the date of the dismissal. Reinstatement A graduate student who has been officially dismissed and who seeks reinstatement shall submit a format request for reinstatement along with a supportmg statement of explanation to the Chair of the academic department. The request shall be acted upon by the established procedure or rev1ew group within the partic ular graduate program. Only if such students are subsequently readmitted to the program from which they were dismissed will the dismissal notations be removed from their transcripts by written req uest to the Office for Graduate Education. Leave of Absence Policy raduate Students in good academic standing who cannot maintain continuous registration should apply for a leave of absence by the beginning of the S!lmester in which the leave is to begin.

Every graduate student is encouraged to participate. whether focally within his or her departmental club. working on one of the many special GSA projects and committees, or Participating in th e deliberation of the GSA Senate. Similar to other student governments, GSA administers the student activity fee and-serves as the representative of the graduate student population. It is the way in which these duties are handled, however, which gives GSA its unique and •esponsible character. GSA also provides a financial assistance program to those ,tudents nearing completion of their degree work but who are unable to secure the necessary research assistance through T departmental means. The Mark D1amond Research Fund program offe rs up to $300 for master's degree students and up to $500 for doctoral candidates. The GSA also provides students who feel th ey have a justifiable grievance against a faculty member or administrat or with a Graduate Student Advocate. The Advocate will assist and guide students through the grievance process, ensuring that all paperwork is properly filed and the proper procedures are followed. . GSA has led th e fight for improving graduate student life at UB. but in order to maintain their high level of activity.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

CHANCEllOR JOHNSTONE UNY Chancellor Bruce Johnstone appears to seek a new - and wiser - way of determining the SUNY budget, Provost William Greiner said Friday in an interview. Greiner added that if the present budget difficulties persist, it would be better to eliminate a unit or units, rather than to continue spreading cuts across the University. He also described a relatively new effort to gather faculty input on the budget. S rcincr ~hnstonc's cxpcncncc .., a SUNY college prestdent has allowed him to get a different vantage ' poi nt on how the SUNY budget ts formula ted . He adds: "I think it IS ht s WISh that ttte level of request we make be more finely attuned to a shared understanding of th e fiscal condition of the State . And that it be realistically tuned to SUNY's needs . That is , we (should) try to give as clear and honest a picture u we can of SUNY's real needs and where we would hope we would get some additional help. And then the th ing co uld be negotiated with the Division of the Budget (DOB) G the way other agencies' budgets arc . .. With more of a consensus with the DOB. Greiner explai ned , there would be leas need for a .. lana. drawn-out snsion with the lcaislacure" on mauen crucial to the SUNY system. He added : "I think Bruce's hope IS that the: spring would be: a much less rrenc:ll c penod than it hu been in the put. I think thi s ra~ to mutual c:xhauali o n o n or about April I IS simply some1hi ng that all or us round terribly debilitating. But we got locked into it . And there's no one to be blamed . . .And every once in a while so meone ha.s to come alo ng. and sa y. wait a mtnute . let 's cut the Gordian knot and try something dirrerent. .. Perhaps the best outcome one can expect . Greiner stated, would be: ... very narrow band .. or disagreement with the DOB. These mallen could then be decided by the legislature. "I think Bruce regrets. u I do . the te ndency to see the DOB as an adversary. The DOB wu a negative force . as fa r as SUNY was concerned. for a long time . There are people in the DOB who think there were' some excesses committed ove rly intrusive kinds or intervention tnl o the University. Privately they,l say that. "These are intelligent, dedicated public .ervants. They will look at the world dif· ferentl y than we. One would e<pecl that. • See lludgol. ~ 2 Greiner says J_ohnstone's experience as a SUNY college president has allowed him to get a different vantage point on how the SUNY budget is formulated: "I think it is his wish that the level of request we make be more finely· attuned to a shared understanding of the fiscal condition of the State. And that it be realistically tuned to SUNY's need: �v~22,1988 20, No.4 BUDGET Thcy'r< not villains. On the other hand , they do an awful lot of things to help us. "They are not opposed to the SUNY system . But they do have a job to try every year to take al l the incredible collective desi res of the people of the State. as they are expressed through thei r elected officials. and package them in such a way that also meets the much less, but still very gene ro us. expectations of the people of the State about how much they shou ld pay in taxes. And we as citizens want more services than we want to pay for as taxpayers. " Thert is a cenain )'in and yang"' quality to the relationsR'ip, Greiner pointed out. " I think Bruce recognizes th is aspecl. He 's got to challenge the DOB a nd they've go t to challenge him. But J think it can be done from a basts of mutual understaRding and respect .·· He added : "The DOB must not let the SUNY system bankrupt th e State of New York . And SUNY Central must not let DO B bankrupt th e SUNY · system . Ne 11her want s to do bankruptcy to the othe r And yel. m the past, I th ink eac h \1. ~ approachmg it as if that was what we had to prevent against. .. In any case, the present system needs review, the provost indicated. ..Last spring, given the (issue of fully funding the) Earthquake Center on this campus, plus all the problems the system had, we exhausted a lot of goodwill in the lcgisla· ture. The State executive branch and its foibles and the executive branch within SUNY exhausted the legislature last spring. I think the legis lature would be right to, at so me point, say, 'go away, '" both of you. A s for the effects of the budget on U B's acade m ic quality , Gre ine r said : ··we had a budget redu ction this year that was very severe. It has created some major problems in the ability of th is campus to get so me things done. On the other hand , we enter th e fall wi th more stud ents than we've ever had before . "Now the simplistic, unsophisticated analysis by a bureaucrat might be, 'hey, this is a great deal for the State. They cut their budget and took more students .' But I would say ou r capacity to con tinue to present a quality program for all these students has been severely r<duced ." He continued: ''It's not that the credit hours of instruction are less. There are probably roore of them in order to accommodate all the students. But in "Greiner welcomes the continuing involvement of a Senate committee." order to do that, we've had to do less of other things. Certainly in the r<Search enterprise, the progress has been slowed by this kind of thing. The maintenance of our essential infrastructure is also very badly affected by this. "The damnable tbing is that the impact on academic quality is not so mething you can sec immediately. It's a slow process of erosion. The real cost is the opponunities lost, the things that we might dl;::that we can't do . . . .The real effect of this year's reduction in terms of what's going to be permanently reduced is probably not going to be felt until next year." Greiner said the University took a budget reduction "of well over S2 million when you add it all up , in terms of reso urces that we can deploy. Collectively, the officers of the campus have to find $2 million wonh of activi ty that we stop doing. We can do it by spreading it out across the board. And that helps conceal the depth of the injury. Or, alternatively, we could go and nail some major activities that add up to ($2 million). .. Quite frankly , if we were to continue in that d irection that's where I would lean very strongly. For every Sl million worth of reduction that the State (man· dates), I feel we ought to go in and elimi- nate S I million worth of singular activ ies. "If we take another $2 million reduction, 1 will try and find a S2 million unit to cut back. The last thing we would end up closing, because of the pain (involved ) and the obligations we have to students. would be academic units. Yet we can't keep spreading it th inner and thinner all the time:." An alternative, he added, is to consider charging fees for materials or services that are now free . .. We've expanded our notion of gifts and contracts, but we haven' thought much a bout fees . The idea that the State will pay for everything is a pipe dream." G reiner added that he welcomes the continuing involvement of th e Faculty Senate 's budget priorities committee, chaired by Claude Welch of Pol· itical Science. Th is is a ..dedicated, experienced group," he said, who have taken the time to learn more about the yearlong budget process. "Budget making and budget execution is a 12 month-a-year process. with certain key times and key events where certain crucial decisions have to be made. ... think we 're far enough along in the game to be able to bring in the budget priorities committee at some of the key decision times, on the one hand to get guidance. and on the other hand to get a critique ... The committee helped the University grapple with the recent mid-year budget r<duction. Said Greiner: "1 think fr<· quent and regular interaction with the budget priorities committee on the whol& subject of budget formation and budget execution is going to be very beneficial to this campus." Others on the budget priorities committee, arc Stanley H. Cramer, Thomas Davis, Robert J . Genco, Thomas E. Headrick, Dennis P. Malone, George H . Nancollas, Charles V. Paganelli, William J . Rae , Powhatan J. Wooldridge, Anthony L. Campanelli, Rita G. Lipsitz.. and Sharon M. Schiffbauer. 4D FSEC looks once more at four-year-ahead calendar By ANN WHITCHER Reponer S!aH T he tricky iss ue of devisi ng a four- year-ahead academic calendar came under another review by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week . The calendar, prepared in consultation with a co mmiuee chaired by Mitchell Harwitz of Economics and the Provost 's Office, extends through 1993-1994. Following a discussion of seve ral technical problems with the proposed calendar, Senate Chair John Boot commented: .. There was a reason for the madness." There is little nexibility for the planners, he explained , because of the number of obligatory holidays and other days on which classes can' be held . As for integration with caJendars at other sc hools - Buffalo State College in panicular - Boot said that .. if we work fast. we ca n send it out and others can accommodate (their calendars) to us. We can't reaJly consult others, since there is no Oc>tibility." William Miller of Dentistry again sug· gcsted that the inclusion of religious holidays may violate the principle of separation of church and state. Why not have several penonal days that could be used as one wiJhed, he wondered. The iJsuc of teligiow holidays will become "more complex," he stated, "as the Uni· venity becomes more international ... He added : " Yes, Christmas holidays arc being accommodated , but I'm not asking that it be so." Dennis Malone of Engineering said the calendar problems began when the University decided to finish its fall semester before Christmas. .. We then began to have problems because we staned the se mester so early." Barbara Howell of Physiology wondered wh y Washington's Birthday is observed as a class holiday. The matter hadn' come up, said Boot, who asked the calendar committee to look into it. Claude Welch suggested th"t the calendar committee review calendars of other large New York State universities. T he senate also heard from new WBFO General Manager Bill Davis, who said he hopes to make the station more of a vehicle for the .. University's mission .. than has been the case in recent years. He then described budding projects involving UB faculty and promised that listeners will find changes in the sta· lion's line-up .. in the next three to four months." Davis also discussed new efforu to originate National Public Radio programming here. He added that two N PR programs arc sending correspondents to cover next month's International Women Playwrights Conference. "We need more national feeds," said Victor Doyno of English, who welcomed DaviJ ••to this intellectual community ... Boot noted that the station is .. an extrao rdinarily expensive program to run. Faculty support has ~n disa ppointing to some extent. We hope we can do better in the furore ... I n other business, the executive commince passed unanimousl y a resolu tion noting that the FSEC had reviewed the pro posal to reorgan ize the Sch_ool of Management , " think s it received appropriate review in the school, and has no objections to its implementation ... The senate also heard a repon from Eugene Martell, director of Career Plan· ning and Placement, and bricOy dis· cussed what some faculty feel is a "crisis" in the libraries' ability to order needed journals. Peter Nickerson of Pathology said facult y input is needed in these discussions. Boot and Raymond Hunt, both of Management, said faculty in their school have been adequately consulted on the matter. Associate Librarian Wilma Cipolla said the libraries are anxious to respond to these faculty concerns. CD Nuclear War Prevention group slates first meeting of the year onathan Reichen, director of UB's Nuclear War Prevention Studies graduate group, is inviting interested faculty and students to the group's first meeting of the year, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Reichert's home, 191 Darwin Drive, Snyder. Among the items for discussion: • An upcoming conference on "the moral and ethical dimensions of the arms race and their policy implications;" • A proposed undergraduate major and minor program in nuclear war prevention; and J • A hoped-for summer inllitute for high school teachers on nuclear war issues. The National Science: Foundation is inter<Sted in the project, h.e said. Reichert said the group iJ looking for new faculty, especially in aru and !etten and in the sciences. It iJ modeling many of its programs on those at other large universities, such as Berkeley, Cornell, Wisconsin. and Minnesota.

The file can be sent I a t is common to see cons picuous row of people in business suits are waiting for an inlerview that might lead them to a new. and often first . career. Now is the time for graduating stu· dent5 to start looking for a job and trunk· ing about those interviews, according to Eugene Martell, director of can:c:r plan· ning and placement. "This is when stu· dents should be building job search tactics, not May I if they graduate in May." Students graduating this year may have a bard time fioding jobs. In a presentation to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee Sept. 14, Martell warned: "Usually after an election year there is a slight economic downswing. If there is such a doWDJwing, job II<X!Uisition will be more difficult." Despite this grim prediction, Martell encourages student5 at all leveb to take advantage of the Career Planning and Placement Office. " It's almost a 'birth to death • time line. We provide programs were distributed last year," he added . A resume referra l service is aJso available. • A resume is placed o n file with permission from the student to se nd it to employers who request it." Martell explained . "About 5.700 were requested last year." he first step in ge tt ing a JOb is to have well-defined goals. This can be facilitated by talking with one of the T T he re a re inter views as well. "Employers in short suppl y of per· so nnet come to the campus. usually in the fields of science and engineering.Martell said. "Recently. there have been seven counselors in the office to learn how per:sonal interests can be translated into potential careers. ""The students who have the most trouble finding\ jobs are those. regardless of discipline. J.ho have more retail estabHs hments coming. interested in marketing and sales. There are no direction or goal in regard to their carttr," Martell said. "The uncertainty is usually due to the fact thai they haven\ explored the possi· bilities.· he added . To help in this respect, students can visit the Career Resource Library in 15 Capen. "The library contains information on possible carttrs as weU as self-help texu io aid in the job search," Martell said. Another option is to use the DIS· COVER II computer program, which helps to clarify a student's interest5 and values and point5 toward carttrs that renect them. Once career goals an: well-defined .

The Harriman Library clubhouse had a dining room w1th seati ng for 160. two large lounges. a card room, and a secrelary's officr. It abo had a bar available to members. and its own kitchen staff.

Thorn· as Burford. then president of the club. called the new location "at best. an acceptable interim." With the furniture in disrepair and a membenhip that had plummeted from 300 to 70. the loss of the Harriman facility damaged both the image and spmt of the club. In Oc1obcr or 1967, the administration inrormed the club (most or whose activi ties were ex_clusi,·e to members) that inchrde an expansion of the Tiffin Room. space in the Student Activities Center, and usc or a new building on Parcel B.

" We arc try ing to determine if mothe rs with pre ~nancy complications are likely to have babies that suffer fet al distress or birth asphyxia and then to determine if these babies are more likely to die of SIDS." SIDS was defined by the Second International Conferencx: on the Causes of SIDS to be "the sudden death of an y infant or 'young child which is unexpected by hiJtory and in which a thor· ough postmortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death." SIDS kil ls one out of every 350 children born in the U.S. It iJ characterized by the death of a seeminaJy healthy baby. Altbou&h the infant may have had a cold at the time, the condition is aenerally not a life threatening one. ln fact , there iJ notbioato indicate imminent death. Buek said that sbe iJ sean:hing for some son of pattern in these deaths. She said that "a lot of reaearchen have looked to see if there an: any environmental facton, and nothing bu shown up." So instead sbe iJ trying to look dCCP,ef into tbe baby's history to find a cause. "What I 'vc attempted to do is usume that the risk facton bepn durin& preanancy.

"She is trying to find possible indicators of S/OS as a preventive." smaller than ..normal in their weight, length , and head circumferencx:. This suggests that somehow these babiea are bei ng co mprom ised wh ile they 're growi na." Buck said that although there is nu known cause of death, the S IDS babies are not completely healthy. " When they do autopsies on theoc kida, some of the organa renect that they have had long ot and ing o xygen de privatio n be fore death ." She is loo ki ng to see if there arc uny indications that cen ain babies are more likely to become victims of SIDS. " We look to see if the mother had ·1.11)' prcg· nancy complication• or problems J uring labor, or whether at any time in the preanancy the babieo had auffered any fetal diJtreu." Fetal distreu is characterized by such conditions as an abnormal heart rate. be evidence for this usumption deals laraely with the physical condition of tbe baby at the times of both birth and death. "SIDS babies an: blood acid osis (acid ic condition!~. in the blood). anoxia/ hypoxia (oxygen dcpn· vation). and meco nium liqu or (prcma· tu re feca l emission). Buck said that there is al most defi nitely a relation between such distress and S IDS. " Infants with known fetal distress were almost six times more likel y to succumb to S IDS.

Stein, vice president for Univenily B relations. That's when the decision will be made on which U.S. city will vie inlernalion· ally for the honor. Since the games have never been held' in the United Stales, it's fairly certain lhal an American city will be chosen for 1993, Stein said. Buffalo 's prim fry competitor is Atlanta, he noted. Buffalo has acveral advantages over that and other cities: • The games will be held in Ju ne and our weather at lhaltime of year is betler than Atlanta's. • We have an Olympic Village. space for cultural aclivitiea. and fine othlet1c fac ilities. all located in one place. Stein n id . " ll's not only an athletic contest , but there's a substantial educational and cui· tural program lhat ace• alons with it." he noted. • The Ellicott Complex on UB's Amherst Campus can act u an Olympic Villose whe"' athletes arc housed and cultural activilea can be provided. ll even looks like an Olympic Village, he noted . Allanla would have lo house athletes al several univerailiea lhroushout the city. With athletes comins from Commu· nisi Bloc, Central 1merican, and Middle Eutcm countries, terrorism i.J an issue. The closer lhe venue. are located to each other, the euier il is 10 provide securit y. Eve ry time the at hlete s tro ve I on a bu1, tt increases the securit y problem . Stein .. pointed out . Also on the Amhent Campus will be a new conference site ond hotel on Parcel B near the bookstore, Stein nid . Some improvemenu would have to be made 10 UB's athletic facilities, but they arc impr>vemenla that are al,.,ady planned, such u addina locker rooms, lighu, and more acals to the UB Sl&· dium, Stein noted . • The Koeuler Center at Canisiua College and Rich Stadium in Orchard Park would also be used. "And since the country that hosu the games can pick an optional sport, we'd pick baseball," Stein said. "That would be a wonderful opponunily to ahowcasc Pilot Field ." • N•aaara FRIIs Ia o nRtural touriat attraction . To help prepare ita bid , Buffalo has hired a consu ltant who's had experience doing the World University Games. Stein said . The bid deadline is Nov. 15. In addition , Alf Savaae. now head or the NFT A, wu one or the principal• in lhe World University Games in Edmonton. The effort lO land lhe aamealn Buffalo ia spearheaded by Burt Flickinaer, the prominent businessman who il. head or the local commitlce lhal'l puuina the bid tosclhcr. Bacldna the effort are Dennis Gorski, Eric County executive; Bill Hart, president of the Convention and Viall ora Bureau; Jame. Griffin, mayor or Buf· falo; Sleven B.

Not surprisingly. use of the books has sharply declined. C ommonly thought to be confined to the South and the West, book banning incidents actually arc as frequent ir. the Nonheast and Midwest. The difference, said Shields, is that many Nonhern districts arc beuer at keeping such incidents from the press. "The schools an: getting better at hand I· ing parents' complaints about materials in the library," he concluded . Consequently. many books have been quielly removed from the ·shelves with little or no public awareness. Schools arc simply unwilling to jeopardize !heir budgeiS over these issues, he explained . Adding to the woes of librarians has been a large increase in book banning nationwide . The American library Association estimated that the number of such cases jumped by 184 per ce nl over the last 12 month>. The result. Shields explained, has bcco the intimidation of many librarianS who believe thai book banning is unethical. "Librarians often lose their jobs for defy. ing the removal of materials. Rather than jeopardizing their jobs in these economic times that are not good for school people ." they don~ fight it." At Jlake are First Amendment righu regarding freedom of speech and of the press. These freedoms, according to BaNNrd Books W•~k 1988. are continually challenged by groups and individuals who altempt to reJ trict what othera can see and n:ad . T The banning of books in public schools called one of today!s great challenges lr MARK IE . AUP'f RaJlC)f1er Slalf The banning of books in publi c schools is one of the greatest challenges facing librarians today, accord· ing to Gerald Shields, assist· ant dean and associate professor in the School of Information and Library Studies. This form of censorship denies the individual the right to choose and to express his or her opinion, rights fundamental to a free society, said Shields, who is observing Banned Books Week Sept. 24-0ct. I . Contrary to popular belief. attempu at book banning an: not limited to works with sex ual n:fen:nc:ea . • While man y complaints about books an:, in roct, con· cerned with sex, obscenity. and "objec· tlonable language," othen an: focused on drug u1e, and gender or racial 1ten:ot ypes. hields noted that "a lot of people equate censonhlp only with hard-con: pomoaraphy. It 'I amazing, though, what people see u beina pomoaraphic." B eiwetn May 1987 and May 1988, almost 200 boou wen: challenpl or banned in achoola thro~~&hout the nation, u n:porteil in tbe N~w•ku~r on '""lketiMII Fnft/om . Maay timilar incidents wen: undoubtedly not reported. Shields contended . The works or Judy Blume, a populor writer for youna adulll, have been a fn:· quent taraet for cllalleftltl. Concerned individuals ha ve recommended that Illume '• Fortvrr and ThtN AgaiN . MDJ•br I WoN '1 be n:movcd from chool library shelvu in at least thn:e ac hoob in Florida, Maine, and California. Other favorite targets or cen sor a ttack s ha ve been J .n . Salinger's Car<hrr IN rhr R}'f'. i nd Faulkner\ A.r I lAy DyiNg. The latter eontained "offensive ond obscene passage n:ferrina to abortion and u ed Ood'l name In vain." aecording to the Oravea achool district in Mayfield, Kentueky. Another Kentucky district banned Arthur Mlller'l 11tt Cru· dblt and l>Hrh of a S41tSma", because they wen: "junk." Stephen Kina novels, and textbooks that promote "the n:liaion or aecular humanism," have also lncurn:d the wrath of varioua aroups. Cumntly, boob pertalnlna to witches an: a favorite taraet for n:moval, Shields aald, noting that some achool dlatricta have eliminated Hallowetn cen:moniea altoaetber. Frequently, auch controvenlal boob an: pieced on lpedal merw, wben:by \, \ . o further co unter this preu ure , Shields promotea activities that increase public awareness or cen&orahlp. Shields also tries to lncn:ue librarians' awan:neu of their power to combat cen· sorahlp. In the past, the librarian often waa helpleu to succeufully fiaht censors. "The people who an: moat appalled by the bannlna an: the onea who aeem to have the leut ability to vocallte the out· rage ." he alated . A mainstay of Shields' fiaht aaalnat censonhlp Is the SILS coune on lntelle<:· tual freedom . Typically enrolling between 8 and IS people, thla coune investigates lite Idea or freedom and Its implication• for th e prore alo nal librarian . Unique to this co urse ia a weekend retn:at. " We 're goi ng to apend our time In a concentrated effort," sold John Ell I· son , an a11oclate profenor In Sl LS, who is teaching the coune this semester. Elllao n emphaalted the practi ca l natun: of the courae. "For example, we analyte the approach and the techniques used by cenaon and ahow atudents how to handle cenaonhlp situations or 'chal· lengea' u we call them , We uk, what do you do to pn:vent It and what Ia the bell approach?" Similarly, Shields atn:ued the lmpor· tance of teaehlna would·be librarians an awarenaa or their own n:aponalbllltlea. "We want them to dlacover thattbey an: the protecton or tbe people," be aald. •nrouah an education proaram like this, mon: and more profeulonal librarIans are pic kina thiJ up." Elllaon elaborated on tbb point, main· talnlna that librariana tbemtcl- have been known to oe1110r boob. "Wben I �~22,1118 Volumll 20, No. 4 ,. H·I·P U. · S. · A. came to this Univcnity (in the 1960s)," he said, "there was a nifty little collection (of books deemed inappropriate) that was in the old Lockwood Library vault. You wouldn' think that it was po~ible, but it can happen on a university cam pus." By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD nO uencing Shields in hi.j work was a . sa bbatical taken 18 months ago to study the effects of censorship on the professional librarian. Financing the trip en tirely on his own, he spent six months interviewing over 30 librarians -from California to New England. He concluded that censorship has an ·ewemely traumatic" effect on librariam. ·· tn interviewing librarians, some of them who were involved with censorship three to four years ago, I noticed that all of a sudden, in a couple of cases, they broke out in tears or expressed all of thr1r frustrated anger." So me librarians, Shields noted , rmMd harassing telephone calls late at ""ht Others were dismissed because th~ 1 re;isted the censorship effons while, fl)r 'nme. the job situation became so '""''" "ble that they .had to find a job I tl'-t\Lh:: n:.

Many people believe that restricting the circulation of ideas is as unhealthy as inhibitingthe flow of blood <:t:Q the brain. One of these people is UB English Professor Bruce Jackson, who speaks of "the chilling effect of censorship." A slightly different point of view, however, is expressed by Law Professor Lee Albert who believes that the free circulation of ideas, or freedom of speech, "while a valuable good, has its costs." · Both men. in recent interviews with the Reporr~r. expressed their opinio~ about book banning and also censorship in general. . . The American Library Assoc•auon hu declared Sept. 24 to Oct. I Banned Books Week. These seven days have been chosen to officially deplore the removal of certain books from the shelves of American libraries. J . ackaon talked about "the chilling effect" of censorship in the ans and a11o in the news media. In the ans, "the chllling effect of censorship works to inhibit creative activity.

Brief conversations with five faculty and students wen: sprinkled with the three D's: disgust, denigration, and disinterest in the en tin: process of picking the next president of the United States. Nevertheless, it 's impossible to ignore Bush and Dukakis. The media have spread their images across television screens much like one puts cream cheese on a bagel. Which candidate uses the media more effectivelyt:...According to those surveyed , the ans~ is George Bush. T "B 'There are a lot of things Bush has to answer for. but nobody is asking him to." ush is winning this race because he is playing on America's xenophobia." thinks Sociology Professor Ben Agger. " His campaign has ce ntered ar ound dc!ense spending, the pledge of allegiance , protectionism. 'Star Wars.' and other iss ues invoJvins a 'strong America. ' He has made these issues the center of the elections." Dukakis, on the other hand, is mainly in a .. reactive position: · said Agger. He added that the Democratic candidate has been too busy warding off the ~lows of Bush to set up an effective campaigo. Dukakis also has to operate from a indicated . shak y "Because he is a Democrat, Dukakis' must appeal to different constituents: the disenfranchised and the so-called Reagan Democrats. It's virtually impossible to present both a conservative and a liberal side .... Thdasl candidate to do that was John F. Kennedy and given the political climate today, I doubt that even Kennedy would win the election." E nglish Professor Roy Rousstl agn:cd that Dukakis is slipping. Bush is gaining momentum, he added, because of his relationship with the media. "News is a valuable commodity, and Dukakis does not seem to be aware of that," Roussel said . "Bush has produced a neatly packaged, easily digestible piece of news every day, and Dukakis has mainly been reacting to that package." In Roussel's view, Bush has virtually eliminated the "wimp factor" not only through his campaign speeches, but through his body language. "He must have a coach in body language, because I've noticed that he stands taller and straighter, much like Reagan did ." Roussel said . Appearances an: vitally important in the visual medium of television, he noted . But has Bush really been that much of a PR man? Roussel remarked that television clips of Bush almost always involve a set-up that is "just like Hollywood ." This meartJ low camera angles to make Bush appear gigantic, and the use of light to enhance his profile. T he emphas is on image rather than n:a.lity is further illustrated by wbal Women's Studies Chair Ana Hidalgo called Bush's "cosmetic approach." She explained : "Bush and Dan Quayle are selling their images just like Reagan did before them," Hidalgo said . "They are good-looking and they an: using the media to capitalize on their looks." Hidalgo noted , for instance, that Bush often raises both arms up in a manly salute, thus laking advantage of the low camera angle. On the other band, whenever she sees Dukakis on television, the camera angle is high, "making him appear small." Coincidence? "I don' think the media leave anything to chance, or that anything you see is accidental ," Hidalgo · argued . Dukakis, she contended, is not only in the shaky position described by Agger. He is also being "pitied against this ridiculous cosmetic aspect" as shown in Hidalgo's opinion about the camera angles. U ndcrgraduate management major Stephanie Marx bas little sympathy for Dukakis, and even less interest in the campaign, but she does agree that Busb has the upper hand. "Suddenly his speeches are so mucb better. He is actually gelling more emotional, stronger in his statements,"' she said. "Whether or not be really means what he says, . at least be is outlining his plans and g1vtng a more detailed account than Dukakis." Uke Agger, Marx believes that Bush's strength lies partly in the context of his operations. The Republican image has traditionally been the political "strong arm" and Bush's behavior accords with that image. Dulr.akis and the Democrats, Marx argued. are viewed as "the nice guys, the etilical guys, the guys who care about people, but the (political climate) emphasizes national security and a strong economy," both constants in Republican thinking. Sean O'Sullivan. an English and media studies major and editor of Gentration , argued that Dukakis has simply not used the media as much as Bush. "He just simply hun' been present as much .. He hasn' been on the campaign trail ." O'Sullivan said. D ukak is would appear lo be a lost cause, but even disinll;n:sl doean' prevent people from contributing their two cents. "Dulr.akis bas go11o come on harder in the debates," Rouuel said. "He's got to push Bush on tbe defertJive. There are a lot of things Bush bas to answer for. • Agger noted with disgust that the beat thing for Dukakis to do is to not only find a way to appeal to both liberals and conservatives in the Democratic party, but aho to reiterate the Republicans • patriotic themea in New Orleans namely the Oq, aod the pledge of alleJiance. "Those issues, however, an: •geared toward the Republicans," he said. "Either way, this is the most substanceJess campaign in my memory. Dulr.akis may be in the reactive position, but be is also reacting to non-issues such as the pledge of allegiance. • O'Sullivan recommended that Dubkis not be afraid of the "L• word: liberal "Dukakis should simply say, 'I am what I am • and then admit to his liberal side," O'Sullivan said. "I think America can deal with some liberal issues because he's a conservative Democrat. anyway." O'Sullivan added that since Bush is not a good debater, Dukakis might have a chance to win votes during the debates. In this way, he could tum the tables on Bush by bringing up the vice president's involvement in the Iran-Contra affair. The candid•tes • courting of the media and dependence on them to pmer votes may disgust people, but Roussel remarked, "Maybe the ability to be presentable is a really importan1Slilll for the next president. Maybe that's what be bas to do well, after all" 4D "Dukakis should not be afraid of the 'L' word; he should just say: 'I am what lam.' " / �.... .....,......, ......... . . . . .

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

There is mucb more to educaTion than a major." "T here is general ag reement that this is a world civilization course:, not merely a western civilization course," commented Fleron. Although faculty members were aware of the tremendous debate at Stanford University regarding the content of its western civilization program, intense debate on this subject did not occur. "We relatively easily concluded that the approach should be a world civilization approach,~ he added.

The text, A History oftM Human Community, was written by William H.

This global hiStory spans developments in both East and West and offers lively companiOn anicles that spotlight intc~ng events in history. The selection of McNeill's text was the culmination of a long search, according to Barry. "We looked through many. many texts before we could ftnally agree on this one."

"There have been large differences of opinion vociferously expressed." • Yet such disagreement is not necessarily bad. Barry said, "One of the good things about the course is a kind of tension in a vibrant manner." Sueh tension can be "healthy" for a university, be suggests. n addition to attending two lectures Iattend per week, students are required to one recitation session . weekly. aU Each professor is assigned five recitations, enrolling between 20 and 25 students each. The professor teaches one of the recitations, while two teaching assistants lead the remaining four. The quality of these teaching assistants is quite high, Flcron emphasized. "AU teaching assistants are hand -picked by the individual instructor and arc in their third or fourth year of graduate school." The Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory grading option is not open to students taking this course. Fleron commented that students do not work as seriously for a class where the S / U grade is used. Concurred Gracia. "It's a step in the right direction." D uring the spring, the second semester of World Civilization will be offered, along with one segment of the first course. World Civilization I covers the period from prehistory to 1500 A.D., while World Civilization II encompasses the period from 1500 A.D. to the present. While students are strongly encouraged to take both semesters of the course, they will be permitted to take the first semester without being required to complete the second. However, WCI is a prerequisite for WCII. so the reverse will not be permitted. . Various evaluation measures will be used for a project of this magnitude. One such device attempts to gauge the amount of learning accomplished by students through a 50-question objective examination. On the first day of class. all students in World Civilization sections were surveyed along with a control group of between 800 and 900 students. m courses including SociOlogy 101 , EngliSh 101, and Chemistry 101. A comparable study will be administered to both groups at the end of the spring semester. The questions on this survey relate to knowledge of world history ·and world civilization. According to Fleron. ,they do not relate to trivia, but rather to the larger questions of tre~ds_ and t_hcmes: Providing some log1sttcal d1fficulttes for the project has been the lack of large lecture space.

"We have been ca:ating an evolutionary general education program, piece by piece, starting with the freshman seminar, then the world civilization course, then the math and science proposal, and so on," says Thorpe. "Chairs in particular and others in general have been constantly pressing us as to what the final package is going to look like. "And so the college's curriculum commiuce really came to grips with this (factor) in June and began to see things take shape. It's very exciting for us ... Like other large public universities. U 8 is trying to achieve more coherence in its undergraduate offerings. This is the goal of the two pilot programs. now under way: the 45 freshman scmmars, and the wo rld civilization course, which ~ currently enrolls about 700 students in six lecture sections. ~ 0 eginning in 1987-88, UB has been offering a small class experience to all freshmen who wish to panicipate. These freshman seminars have been generally well-received but are ex_pensivc to mount because of the many mstructors involved . According to Thor~. some faculty have cited the logistical difficulties in making the seminars a requirement. The world civilization course, Thorpe adds, is designed as a core course. "If successful. we would probably propose that it would be required of all students. And we would expect them to take it in the freshman or sophomore year." Future courses could then build on this •common material, Thorpe adds. "That is, future courses would be able to assume world civ as a prerequisite and that every student bas that core of knowledge." B lso, the curriculum committee has approved "in principle" a plan to bolster the science education of nonscience majors at UB. This is not a set of rules for taking courses from an existing list, nor is it unrelated fare, a subcommittee report states. Instead, the plan is d_cscribcd as a sequence of courses, a sk1lls cx_am, and entrance requirements, that are mtended to meet the spe~ial needs of the nonscience major. " . .. The goal here is to develop . sc1~Ufic literacy" rather than to make sc1cnusts of non-majors. For instance, the plarmcrs envision non-science graduates who could read and understand a publication A • like Scientific Am.,ican. More impor: tantly, non-science majors would graduate from UB with the ability to take part in public debates on science, technology, and medicine. Und~r the plan, non-science students would be required to take and pass twosemester sequences in math and in a laboratory (physical or biological) science. Then., at the junior or senior levels, all swdents would have to take and pass both "Methods of Scientific Inquiry" and one of two "Great Discoveries"' courses. · Under the proposal, which will be further discussed in the months ahead, these courses will be offered by individual departments in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Th·e math and lab science courses may be taken either in sequence or concurrently, and are expected to be completed in the students' first two years. ambitious plans that included a "university college" into which all undergraduates would matriculate before choosing a major. · Before being accepted into their majors, Wyoming students would be required to complete a freshman seminar, one math course, two laboratoryscience courses , and one foreign language course. But faculty members rejected the plan. The reasons were several, but they included a budget squeeze that made volunteering to teach freshman seminars ill-advisable, and resistance from the professional schools. The University of Washington has been more successful in devising a plan for improved undcrgrad education. This year, entering freshmen may participate in a new "college studies" program "that groups courses together, rather than depending on the smorgasbord approach or loose distribution requirements,"' the Chronicle noted. ~ soon, most of the components of (the proposed college program) will be available. At that point, the general assembly of the college and the Faculty Senate will have the opportunity to review, discuss, and debate, this new curriculum. I think some pieces of it might come before the Faculty Senate this year." Thorpe says the debate in the curriculum committee will take place this fall, along with much discussion with departments and others at the University. "We will be seeking input from throughout the University." H ow will the new program differ from the current gcn ed? "The present program is essentially distribution courses from six knowledge areas," Thorpe explains. "This succeeds in giving students an introduction to a broad collection of dis- ' ciplincs. What it docsn' do is give them any depth of experience. There is no attempt to tie these courses together. So the process of integrating the knowledge that the student gets with these courses, is up to that student." Happily, the college now has an offi- "As he looks down the five-year plan for the college, Thorpe feels UB is on the cutting edge of undergrad education.

Now that we've officially entered Division II spons at UB, grants-in-aid have been offered in six spons. • Men's basketball - I0 grants totalling $60,000 • Women 's basketball - 10 grants totalling $60,000 • Men 's swimming - $1 8,500 to be divided by the coach • Women's swimming - $1 8,500 to be divided by the coach • Wrestling - $1 8,500 to be divided by the coach • Volleyball - $18,500 to be divided by the coach The coaches for women's basket ball and swimming were successful in signing up everybody they needed, Townsend said . For men's basketball it was harder. But UB was able to get Brian Goodman, a six-foot. nine-inch player from Michigan. "We haven' had anybody that size in a long time, .. Townsend commented. UB also got Robert Middlebrooks, a six-foot~ six-inch player from Binghamton. who, .. in sports jargon, is a ·real player'," Townsend said . T he UB teams face some tough contenders. In football, the Bulls will play three highly ranked Division Ill Championship contenders Ithaca, Hofstra. and Alfred - and two highly regarded National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics contenders - Findlay and Westminster. They will also play Division II Slippery Rock. In basketball, the men's team will play a full Division II schedule, including a road trip to California during the winter break.

T The budget we received isn't what we asked tor By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Reporter StaH be 1988-89 budget that UB got doesn' bear much resemblance to what we asked for, Robert J. Wagner, vice president for University Services, told the UB Council Thursday. Because the State is looking at a S I billion shortfall in its budget, UB suffered a S 1.2 million reduction in its base budget, Wagner explained. To deal with the cuts, Wagner said , people will find buildings colder this winter because U B faces an estimated $500,000 shortfall for utilities. ""- UB will review all purchases over S 10,000 to decide whether they're really necessary or if there's some way to save money. UB has also imposed a hiring freeze . T CD Johnst0ne fears very, very bad fiscal year lies ahead bough it probably won' come to that, it is possible that SUNY might have to close campuses and raise tUition next year to meet State budget cuts, Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone said Friday. Johnstone•s comments were made during an interview with public television's /nsid~ Albany and were picked up by the Associated Press. Johnstone is lect uring in England until next Monday and.couldn' be reached for further comment. Harry K. Spindler, Senior vice chancellor issued the following statement Monda;: "Just as in past years, our budget request (for next year) is under develo!" ment at this moment and the pr~~!' involve the usual consultatoon wtth tbl: campuses. There will be an initial discussion of the budget request by the (SUNY) trustees at their Sept. 28 meeting with formal action on the request not' slated until October." ~ BeCause the State is facing a S I billion deficit this yea.-; Governor Mario Cuomo asked all State agencies to keep their spending requests for the next fiscal year to this year's level. But because SUNY's costs will be higher next year (inflation and salaries are increasing), that wo uld mean a S90 million cut for SUNY. However, accordi ng to the AP story, a spokeswoman for the Division of Budget noted that the actual cuts recomme nded by C~ln January could be smaller. A SUNY spokesman pointed out that during the television intervie-w, Johnstone was asked to discuss the worst..:ase scenario and the chancellor emphasized that be doubted the situat ion would get that bad. But it d ocsn' look good. "Even the best scenario that I can envision is going to be a very bard budget year for the State University," Johnstone told AP. 4D ut people need to keep a couple of B Sample noted . Even with the cutbacks, points in mind, President Steven B. UB still will spend more tax dollars this year than iqlid last year. However, costs for things like wages (which are negotiated outside of SUNY) and equipment are going up while UB's . budget isn' keeping pace. This results in cuts to the base budget. The other point people must remember is th at UB wasn' prepared for these cuts. ... For the firs t time in my administration, we had a mid-year budget cut," Sample added. "That was a dramatic surprise. It had a very unsettling effect." In April, UB was given a budget which it started to spend. Then came a $2.4 million cut during the summer, Wagner explained. Half of the cut was restored by the State Legislature, which left aS 1.2 million cut to the base budget. "So next year our base budget will start with $1.2 million less," be pointed out. At least the flexibility legislation passed a few years ago gives UB the opponunity to make decisions for itself, Sample noted. "What we have here is a severe ch.iU, but not a hiring freeze, " he explained . "Under the old rules, there would have been a bureaucratic freeze and a bureaucrat in Albany would decide if we could "At least flexif?ility legislation gives UB the opportunity to make its own choice on how to cutback. " hire someone." Instead, UB itself now decides if It can afford to make an appointment. Each campus is now managing its own utilities budget, Wagner added. If UB can save money there, it can use that money for other things. (This was a son: spot for UB officials in the past. UB launched an energy-saving campaign in 1982 that saves tens of thousands of doll ars a year. But UB wasn' allowed to keep the money it saved and was saddled with a smaller utilit!;s budget to boot.) 0 n tb,e topic of construetion, Sample noted that UB is now "bursting at the seams" and has installed I0 trailers on• the .Amherst Campus to provide I 8,000 net square feet of research space. " But they're, temporary," UB Council Chairman M. Robert Koren noted, reminding Sample of his vow that the wheels wouldn' be removed from the trailers. "No, they took the wheels off," Sam. pie responded with apparent chagrin. 4D �- The opimons e'P<•SSI!d n "Viewpolflts" PieCes are those of the writers and nor necessartt those olthe Reponer We "elcome VieWQoints ,>. c"""""'-s. written with V.J.

Depanment had more than its share of radical students. Countless ill-tempered memos were circulated, and insults were exchanged at in ter min able meetings. Parry proved to have a nervous system perfectly adapted to the rigors of this academic climate. The more violent the academic storms, the more fair-minded he became. Some vessels perform best in light airs. Others excel in heavy weather. Parry was in the latter class. He was a democrat ic leader in a revolutionary period and conseq uentl y in a three-year term left a more permanent mark on the depanment than many chairmen who exercise dictatorial powers for 20 years .

In 1933 he joined the Communist Party and three years later became a founde r and first managing editor of Scienct and Society: A Marxian Quarterly.

By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Reporter Staff 0 n Friday, UB's Undergradu· ate Student Association (SA) launched an all-out effon to register college and university st udents from Western New York with the board of elections so that studen s can vote. "Our goal is to register 25,000 eligible voters on area campuses. including 10,000 on the UB campus alone," said Derek LaMarche, director of academic affairs for SA. LaMarche said th at only about onequaner of the undergraduate population is currently registered to vote. Moreover, many of these would be unable to vote 9 because of Jaws penaining to change of w!'.~ · residence. ··we estimate that about 3,000 stu· dents are registered. A lot of those are from other addresses and don\ know they have to reregi ster if they want to vote here.'" LaMarche explained that if students are registered in their home towns, they have to do one of three things in order to vote: They can go home to vote, they can vote by absentee ballot, or they can regis· ter again with a local address so that they can vote here. .. If they want to vote at home, they can fill out an absentee ballot form and we will mail it to their home county," LaMarche said. "Then the county board of elections will mail the ballot to the students." This program is being conducted by SA with the help of three student groups: the Black Student Union (BSU), the College Democrats (CDs), and the College Republicans (CRs). "Their role is to provide a source of manpnwer," LaMarche said. "They will assist in canvassing and table-manning." LaMarche said that in addition to manning tables and _grabbing passersby in order to register tfieln;-SA-will...have people going door-to-door .in the dorms and in the University Heights area. The goal wiU be to jegister '!5 many indi- ~ E li' ~ ~ i ~ :.t viduals as possible, including residents of the University Heights district who are not students. The group is also trying to coordjnate effons with United University Professions, which represents facu lty and professional staff. Rosene Henderson, BSU treasurer, said his organization is starting to gear up for the drive. Even now, "we will have anybndy who comes in the office fill out an application. " T he U B campaign is part of a larger effort on several college campuses in Erie County. Student organizations from Buffalo State, Canisius, Erie Community, D'Youville, and Daemen are among those panicipatiog. Because UB is the largest school with the most resources, SA and LaMarche are coordinating the event. "It's my job to see that if they. (the other schools) need help, they'll get it," LaMarche said . For instance, if other schools ran out of voter registration forms, LaMarche would drop off extras. LaMaiche credits SA's president with beginning the movenieot: ..The coaJition idea was initiated by Bob Tahara ... I n addition to voter registration, other election year SA activities include bringing speakers to campus. LaMarche said that an invi tation was extended to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis to come and speak when he was in town last week but that the Democratic nominee did not accept. Erie County Democratic pany headquaners said Dukakis had already made plans to meet workers at the Chevrolet pla,pt in Tonawanda. Other plans include inviting to campus the candidates who are competing for Jack Kemp's Congressional seat. Kemp, who vied unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination, has chosen not to run for re-election. Invitations will be extended to the candidates after the mid-Septe'!lber primary. "After the 15th, which is primary day, we will be actively negotiating to bring debates to campus," LaMarche said. LaMarche also said that in order to vote in that primary, students must have spe nt at least a month at their present address and be registered on either the Republican or Democra!ic pany lines. P an of the drive's emphasis is to reg... ister voters in a noo·partisan manner. LaMarche noted that in the past, some organizations conducting the registrations have "'lost" voter registration sheets when someone registered with a pany that the organization did no) agree with. ' This year, LaMarche said, the push is to conduct the registration in as eve n)>anded a manner as possible. "The leaders of both groups (the CRs and CDs) have been really straightforward as far as keeping it non·panisan." Greg Pajak, president of the CRs, pledged to help register voters no matter what their party affiliation. In their press release describing the drive , the CRs said: " We hold the democratic process in high regar~ and look forward to future non-partisan efforts by the Student Association in assisting the students of UB in exercising their constitutional rigbt to vote." , However, he did admit in eonversation that the CRs' job is, at least in part, to recruit for the "Grand Old Pany." .. Other than regis1ering studems. our role is regis1ering Republicans ... T he COs also echoedlhe imponance of the registration drive. "'We believe that such an effon is criticaJ for the democratic process to prosper.The registration drive will continue until the end of September, "The drive ends with a rally in Fpunders Plaza on the 27th," said LaMarche. "All voter 'reg' forms have to be back to us by the 13th of October." LaMarche said negotia tions are under way with the board of elections to allow students to vote on campus, hopefully in Ellicott, the Center for Tomorrow, and Clement Hall on the Main Street Campus. CD ·us dentists taking pa~ in major study of the elderly By MARY BETH SPINA News Bureau Staff ental researchers here are par~ ticipating in a national multicenter study to learn wh~ some elderly people escape the ravages of loose teeth and loss of gum attachment to teeth. This perindontal disease costs Ameri· cans S5 billion annually and is the great· est single cause of tooth loss in those over 35. While UB researchers were among the first to repon the imponance of certain bacteria as causative agents in the disease, it is clear many other factors are· involved. • An initial $200,000 contract awarded to UB researchers two and one-half years ago by the National Institute for Dental Research stands to mushroom to S2.4 million through 1990 for the project, according to William A. Miller, D .D .S. Miller is a professor in the Depanment of Stomatology and Interdisciplinary Sciences. . Similar levels of funding are bemg made to the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio to coo- D duct a parallel study. The contracts to both facilities, Miller says, represent the first multicenter, multidisciplinary study undertaken by NIE>R. Multicenter studies are more common among the other institutes which compose the National Institutes of Health. · Miller, principal investigator of the Buffalo-based study, has long held a scientific interest in problems of the aging population, especially those associated with oral health. For the past two years oft~ contract, UB and University of Texas researchers have concentrated on calibrating and standardizing clinical and laboratory methnds and t<$'hniques that will be used to examine a host of factors in more than 200 persons at each site. .._ A detailed clinical manual is completed with laboratory guidelines nearly finished , Miller says. This groundwork was essential because two sets of researchers, clinicians and examiners at two widely separated centers will be examining volunteers duri~ the•course of the study. Estab- lishment of valid, ' identical measurements must be insured so final results of the study are scientifically accurate. A prototype study, enlisting the aid of 30 volunteers at each location, will begin this year. The major study, involving 400 persons, will occur later. The latter will focus on two groups at each site: those who vinually no gingival (gum) pockets and bone loss attributable to perindontal disease and those with mnderate to severe pocketing and bone loss. The groups will be funher subdivide<!into the "young old" from 65-74 and the old, 75-85. " Researchers are interested in the fact that there are persons in these older age groups who would be expected to have so me measurable pocketing, tooth mobility, and bone loss from gum disease and yet do not," Miller says. It is re~ooable to assume that the increased emphasis on preventive dental techniques and regular, routine care over the past. two decades will result in a decrease in perindootal disease among' older adults in the future. But, Miller points out, these measures were not regularly practiced by those born sbonly after the tum of the century through the mid-1930s. Improvements in dental care, such as the high speed drill, better filling materials and local _.anesthetics, and use. of fluorides and dental sealants, came into use in the 1950s and later. But the advances were too late for those in the age brackets participating in the study. The multicenter study will be divided into three imponant components at each of the two sites: • Clinical studies which will involve measuring plaque indices, depth of perindootal pockets and the precise amount of bone attachment to teeth in tbCuvolunteers. • Psychosocial studies which will examine voluoteen' attitudes toward dental care as well as determine the extent to which families and-friends provide uansportation to the dentist or encourage their seeking dental care. • Laboratory studies. CD �FANS - AID IN BULLS WIN ••• By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Reporter Stall T he UB Bulls rewarded an enthusiastic· crowd with a win in Saturday's Athletic Hall of Fame game against the FindJay College Oilerll. Thanks to a fumble recovery by Bulls linebacker Dave Ruszala on the Findlay II yard line, UB was able to score a touchdown with two minutes to go in t~e firllt quarter. Those in the stands lauded Ruszala as well as halfback Dave Rath, who ran the ball in for the Bulls'firllttouchdown of the season. Sophomore Tom McLaughlin kicked tlie extra point for a 7~ lead with about two minutes remaining in the first quarter. The fans went wild, showing their delight with being ahead of this team which bad trounced the Bulls 39-13just last year. This early lead was narrowed by a late third quarter Find.l.y field goat However, lhc score rernajned at 7-3 throughout the "n ext 17 minutes, allowing the Bulls to pull off their first win of the season. Bulls Head Coach Bill Dando was especially pleased with the response of the fans to his team's performance. He said that the crowd 's enthusiasm had helped his playerll "very much. It was great, the kids realized that the fans were behind them and that gave them moral support." Were the fans disappointed at the lack of offense? To an extent. But the outstanding Bulls' defensive squad made up for the offense's impotence. "The best part of the game has to be the defen!C," said one student. In fact , bad it not been for the pressure which the Bulls' defense provided, there would have been little for the fans to applaud. Halftime festivities included a raffle of a football jerllty, entertainment from the U B Pep band, and an address by President Sample welcoming seven fo rmer athletes into the UB Athletic Hall of Fame. Sample congratulated the inductees, linkingltbeir selection with U B's goal to upgrade its athletic program to Division I status. He noted that for the first time in almost two decades, UB has granted athletic scholarships this year. These scbolarsbips have been awarded to studeftts in six sports. The crowd became in=asingly edgy in the second half, when it looked as if Findlay was witbin scoring distance. Findlay's last possession bod each UB fan sitting on tbe edge of bis seat. As the clock started to wiDd down, Findlay began to move downfield, bindered bu! not stopped by tbe Bulls' defensive squid. Ho-ver, time proved to be tbe critical factor. Tbe game cloct decided tbe matcb in favor of tbe Bulls. Tbis Saturday: Buffalo State, UB Stadium, I p.m. A cb&nce to go 2 and 0. G) �September 15, 1918 Vol. 20 No.3 Senate reviews plan for four-year~ahead calendar '. .;./ • Devising the plan was no. easy task since there are so many days on which classes can't be held A proposed four-year-ahead academic calendar was review- ed last week by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. The calendar, Senate Chair John Boot explained, was prepared in consultation with a committee chaired by Mitchell Harwiu of Economics, and the Provost's Office. In the calendar , which extend s through 1993-1994, each semester con· sists of a block of 17 weeks. " Each and every semester should have at least 14 of each of .the days of the week. necessitating an occasional Friday masqueradin g as Wednesday, or so on," Boot said . Devising the calendar has been no easy iask., Boot added , since there are so many holidays and other days on which classes can't be held. In the fall semester, for instance, provision must be made for exam week (one week), two reading days, three days for Thanksgiving Recess, Labor Day, and from two to four days for Jewish holidays. Dennis Malone of Engineering said be once bad a student who asked to be excused from an exam because it fell within the Moslem holiday of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. Malone's research revealed thai ""these hoJjdays do exist and are a valid reason for being excused from a final."The Campus Ministries Office, be said, maintains a list of these religious holidays. William Miller of Dentistry indicated that the inclusion of religious holidays may well violate the principle of separation of church and state. Boot agreed but said the matter has long since been settled. Provost William Greiner said "separation of church and state has always been an uneasy compromise in this country." He argued that the University must be ..consistent" in how it addresses the issue. If one objects to the Jewish holidays, one must also question the practice of insist- ing that the fall semester end in time for Christmas. Claude Welch of Political Science said the schedules of the health science schools and Law should be integrated with the academic calendar. William Miller said "there needs to be integration with the calendar of our sister campus at Buffalo State, since some people have · joint appointments there." The FSEC was set to take up the calendar issue yesterday. ·p committee, resident Sample addressed the noting that matricula· tion rates are up and that UB has proba· bly overshot its target enrollment. Thou· sands of qualified students had to be rejected , he said . Since shifts are ..occur- ''UB has probably overshot its enrollment target for this fall," Sample reported. ring in the State's educational marketplace, "this raises fundamental questions on what our growth patterns ought to be in the next five to ten yea"rs." Jn other business, the commiuee weleomed G. Alan Stull, dean of the School of Health Related Professions, who said he believes it quite possible that HRP departments .will be nationally recOJnized within five years. The executive committee also:~ • heard from Dean Joseph Alutto who discussed the proposed reorganization of the School of Management, • received a handout on the reorganization in the office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs, and • heard details from Provost Greiner on a document developed by the Big 10 schools and the University of Chicago on campus expectations of an accrediting agency.

Author wants to change our thinking about education By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD , _, .,.,. StaH any factors in addition to public schools shape Jhe national educational experience and that experience is much broader th an simply the white · ( \ pt: rie nce, Lawrence Cremin told a Haldy Hall audience of facuhy and tudc nJs Th ursday. Speaking about bis recently published Amt rican Education: The M~tropolitan £ <perienu and its implications for conte mporary education, tbe author noted that the current work is tbe final volume !n a tri logy on the origins, nature, and tnOuence of education in America Cremin, a professor at Teachers College of Columbia and a member of the Spencer Foundation, said he had in ~ind "much more thai! simply recountIng I be facts," while writing his book . A number of concerns shaped the study.' First of all, be bas tried to show that people are not just educated by elementary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities. "We are also educated by families, churches, synagogues, television stations, libraries, and museums." In addition, Cremin has tried to recount a history of the education of all Americans, not just that of the white middle class. "Too often," be said, "hislory books teU the story leaving out whai happened to American Indians and blacks. They tell a story of American education that leaves out private education, parochial education, and indepen~e nt schools." __ Finally, Cremin has tried to put his study in "a world context." It is important to know what American eC!ucation has borroWed, such as the lcindergarten from German and the vocational school rom Russia, before one can know what · indigenous to our system. M B y writing a history that is mo_re inclusive and relative in both tts defmition of American education and of the American student, Cremin hopes be bu created -a lamp to light th_e p~t. " For inltaDce, a view of education that ia not fOCUied aolely on the white middle class student as b "thin th . • e appears wt e u.uuanes of the classroom can help educators to understand why i..hc system bo--~ often fails with minorities Cremin cited 'h · t . e work of John Ogbu, an anthropol~ giSt at Berkeley ~~o has observed that •:n many black famihes, to go to school ts ..to make your peace with a system that is evil." Ogbu has called this phenomenon "oppositional education." Understanding that the child is educated by tbe family and other forces outside the schools, not only enables educators to see wby they fail with certain students, but also how they can succeed with them. Cremin described how Alonzo Crim, tbe former superintendent of school5 in Atlanta, was able to get black families involved in their children's education. Crim brought ministers in from the • community to spealc. They were asked not to proselytize but rather to discuss the importance of doing well in school. By bringing together church and school, the Atlanta superintendent gained the support of the families, thereby creating, Cremin said, "a constellation of believers · · m edw:auon." c remin also hopes his book will help educators to understand what the schools cannot do. One indigenous charac tc ristic of American education is what he c.a.Ued ..politicization." .. We have tried ," he said , .. to put our school5 in the service of various reforms that are very characteristically American. For example, Brown vs. lh~ Board of Education... was a ruling wbicb said that we are going to begin the process of desegregation in society in the schools. "But the society that thinks school5 can solve its social problems," Cremin continued, "is forever promising too much. The most recent example of this is the idea that schools can mate us competitive with tbe Japanese. There's no discussion of the dollar to tbe ye n, of industrial policy, trade policy, etc. We just have to get that algebra into their heads in the II th grade and we will become competitive with tbe Japanese." yean writing his study of American edu· H d 'bed " ~auon. e escn. h~w ?O yea.rs _ago 10 1968 • Col~bta Uruvcrst ty was tn a state of turmod a nd New York City was in a .s tare of turmoil.

Harlem is down there so Columbia looks down on it. People are leading terrible livls and you're writing a damn book. How can you justify that?" "And my answer was, I hope if my 'damn' book has any success that it will affect the way people think about education in a way that will mate the schools of Harlem better. "That's the pain that has led me to spend most of my professional life, 23 years, to produce a three volume history of American education."

Additionally, a special efion bas been made to involve students in this year's campaign. Student fund· raisers include a volleyball marathon the first week in October. Comments Stein: "There ~ absolute commitment by all segments of the Univenity to make it a highly su~ful drive." • Y13arly drive offers a chance to bring hope to the dispossessed and the disheartened By ANN WHITCHER "This Reporter Staff S isn't a ·campaign about organizations. It's not even a · campaign about universities. It's about essential services in our community." Ron Stein, vice president for University relations and chairman of the SEFA administrative group, finds in the yearly drive a chance to bring hope to the dis· possessed and the disheanened. The administrative group, be adds, has been meeting biweekly since January, determining ways to meet the University's goal and to alen the campus com· munity to SEFA 's imponance. "Our goal this year is to raise $462,500, an increase of 12.5 per cent over last year. This is the second highest dollar increase in the history of SEFA at UB. To reach it, we will have to get more people to increase their pledges from last year, and will also have to increase the number of people giving." The depanment average for giving to SEFA is about 66 per cent, Stein says. In some depanments, it is much higher. But the challenge this year will be to raise UB's goal when there are fewer people on the payroll than in 1987-88, because of the hiring freeze imposed in June. "We've bad a special request from the United Way to really stretch our contribution. There are agencies that are not getting their needs met. We aren 'l talking about fluff here, but about essential agencies that will not be served unless people dig a little deeper. I know people at the University will come forward. "SEFA is ~g kids, it's combating drug abuse and ho~lessness, it's helping troubled adolescents." (L-r) Robert Bennett, president of the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, Vice President Stein, and Dean Joseph Alu11o of Management, 1988 general Un~ed Way chairman. mission." He adds: "A lot of very imponant work is done here, in the medical school, in the ans, and in education, for instance, that helps people throughout ~ world. It is only appropriate that we try to also improve the lives of those who reside in our community." that it remaini strong and effective ui Western New Yorlc." Stein says that ~ retired faculty and olunteeu from thoouahout tbe University are now at work. A recent training session in Stein'l offiCe drew 100 penons who will conduct the campaign in their respective offoces. Stein says opponunities remain for those who wo.uld still like to voluflteer. "Since SEFA allows one t.o designate the agency or qencies, our goal is 100 per cent participation." . Stein-explains that the campaign goal was based "on interaction with the deans based on payroll and employment fig· ures provided by the Office of Human Resow=." In addition to Stein, memben of the SEFA administrative group are John G. K.arrer, Terry J . McGuire, Richard A. Jones; Clifford B. Wtbon, Barbara D. Mierzwa, Tbomu D. Flanapn, Arthur W. Burke, Michele Gulley, Joseph J . K.rakowiak, K.atbleen Bercbou, Roaer R . McGill, Robert R. R011bera, Jobn H. SheUum, John T. Tb~on, Robert L. Palmer, Jr., Stephen M.

We've made a special effon to work closely with the union leadership, who have responded I 00 per cent. • "We've built a coalition between the unions and the University itself to make this the best cam~gn ever." A Sept. I letter from Stein and the union leader.ship notes that SEFA suppons Qller 100 United Way agencies, 23 national health agencies, aJi!1 19 international service groups. "Traditionally, those in the labor movement have taken care of their own; in addition, we also take care of those in tbe community at large," the letter states. "We have a long and excellent record of tein announced that the corporation that operates F oijett Bookstore bas instituted a doUar-for-doUar matching campaign. "For each $1 their UB employees contribute to SEFA, the corporation will match it with another $-1 ." Adds Stein: "We're cenainly the driving force in SEFA locally. UB contributed more than $423,000 last year. So the University was responsible for more than half of the pledges made during the 198788 'SEFA of the Niagara Frontier' campaign." • School of Management Dean Joseph A. Alutto chairs this year's United Way drive, Stein nmes. This fact, along with the key roles played by othe£UB employees in the United Way and S A, shows the imponaoce of the Unive · in the annual campaign. "People in the community look to the University for leadership. The Univenrity is seen by the community as very impOrtant to the success of tbe campaign. ln fact, it is , pan of our public service generous contributions to SEFA.

Jacob A. Kramer, wbo continues to strive for academic achievement as be nears his 76th binhday, plans ta join with other veterans or the Spanish Civil War from various nations fo·r the dedication in Barcelona of a 25-foot tall monument honoring the International Brigades of that war. The dedication ceremony will take place on Oct. 28 to commemorate the 1938 farewell parade of tbe seven International Brigades in Barcelona. . Kramer, a fiery activist for much of his hfe, turned to formal education in his later years, attending classes at UB. He received his bachelor's degree in 1978 at the age of 6S by attending classes at night over a six-year period. He subsequently received two master's degrees, one in sociology in 1981 and the other in education in 1987. He currently is engaged in studies that could bring him either another muter's or a Ph.D. in American Studies.

Wifh the proper equipment, even per.;ons living abroad conceivably could access library information ftom UB via the new system. . Stephen M. RobertS, associate direc· tor of University Libraries, estimated in an interview that the system could become fully operational by January, L urrently, the firm of Blackwell North America is preparing the database for the new system, assessing current records and other materials supplied by members of the Libraries' staff. In particular, Roberts noted , duplicate records are eliminated as data· base material is assessed. The completed database is expected to l_le delivered by next May, which woula be a full year from the time the project began. Any per.;onal computer (PC), regard· less of brand name, can be used to access the NOTIS system providing the PC is equipped with a modem to hook up"with a telephone line and necessary communi· cation software, Roberts advised. Thus, such a terminal, anywhere in the world, conceivably could rec'eive requested information. UB's eight major libraries and four branch libraries contain book collections of about 2.3 million volumes. Addition· ally, there are about 24,000 serials }otimals, newspapers ~and magazines; extensive collections of U.S. state and Canadian government documents, and about 3 million audio /visual microforms. C 1990. As explained by RobertS, the system will give UB a si ngle "on-line public catalog" to replace the numerous card catalogs currently used to track down library information. Similar NOTIS systems, with software tailored to the needs of each, have been installed by several of the nation's large universities and major commercial .,.enterprises to achieve greater efficiency in the quest for information. The NOTIS software concept was developed at Northwestern Univer.;ity, as the ultimate in library cataloging. The UB system will consist of several modules, Roberts advised. with each devoted to a specific library function . Physically, there will be 175 "dedi· cated terminals" throughout the Univer· sity to obtain information from any of the university's dozen libraries. The sys· · tern itself will utilize the IBM mainframe at the Computer Center, a computer with a capacity to store miiUons of records. R oberts explained that all materials collected by the Univer.;ity libraries since 1981 will be listed in the database now being prepared. NOTIS SJIIItem through dial-up ports attached ' to the Univer.;ity's computer network. I ~ "A link between the catalog and other modules in the system will supply information on what's available, what's on order, a·nd whether whfJ.t you want is'... on loan .... " Univer.;lty's Computing Services so that the database can be viewed - and mod i· lied, if necessary. Other electronic devices, mainly PCs, will be installed in library collection development areas so that per.;onnel can begin handling requests through tbe Acquisitions Module, which will be one of the first components to go on line. Additional devices, mainly PCs, will be placed on reference desks or in reference departments when: public servia: librarians can begin using the system experimentally as soon as the database becomes available. Beyond the confines of tbe University at Buffalo 'itself, faculty member.; and other.; with PCs at home, or elsewhere, could obtain information from the n this same context, professor.; and graduate students from other colleges in the area could utilize the time-saving NOTIS system. Students and faculty · from surrounding colleges have "always used" UB library facilities, Roberts related, either by telephone or by making personal visits. "We may even have a NOTIS number listed in the telephone directory," Roberts added. Basically, the NOTIS system will make it much more convenient to use UB libraries. The on-line catalog will be linked to the acquisitions and circulation modules. Thus, the system will be able to supply information swiftly on what's available, what's on order, .and whether requested information is on loan. lf someone wants an item that 'already is on loan, the system will automatically advance the due date and print a notice that will be sent to the original borrower, advising that someone else is waiting for that articular item. In this manner, a her item on loan would - in returned to the library most cases in keeping with he new due date. Roberts believes the vast majority of library user.; will adhere to the rules. A separate module will be used to search locally mounted..j:Dmmercial dat· abases, such as MEDLINE for medical information, and ERJC for educational information. Roberts advised that the NOTIS sys· tern will contain about I~ miiUon records at the start of operations. How many more will be added, be said, is anybody's guess. The NOTlS project is a joint project involving University Computing Services and Univer.;ity Libraries.

Young.1:9mmissioner of the L S. F nd Drug Administration, rn a ~e pt. 9 lecture in Butler Auditorium . \ oung's address was the third in a sertt:) ol lectures on this question arranged b~ th' Com millee for Higher Education and the Greater Buffalo-Niagara Billy Gra ham Crusade. Young's lecture, entitled "The Claims of 1-anh on the Scholar," focused predommantly on the nature of scientific truth and the complementary role or fanh and moral commitment in his life as a ~1 en t is t. After defining scholarship as the "otderly search for truth, the capacity to del\c 10 depth for wbat is true," Young descnbed his search for medical truth. He em phasized the construction of hypotheses that can be ehallenged and tbe conSiruction of paradigms that "approximate the truth." As one of many possible illustrations of this ''scientific approximation of>the truth," Young cited the change in the scie ntific undentaDding of DNA from 1928. when the nucleic acid' was thought to be a structural component of the nucleus, to 1953 when Watson aod Crick defined its double bclix structure. Young culled this example of the scientific approximation of truth from his own specializ.ed background, in which. prior to joining the FDA, be SC:rved as the dean of mc:dicinc aod dentistry at the Univenity of Rochester aod wrote more than ISO lcientific papers on biotechnology and microbiology. These concern tbe fundamental genetics of pathogenetic .and non-pathogenetic bacteria. . "One constantly finds something n~ !nd builds a new paradigm, ft be wd. Speaking as a scientist, I can say that there is no objective trut4." Young said this approximation of truth has parallels in other ftelds. He descri bed a convenation be had with Supreme Court Justice Alitonin ~a Who claimed that the law dealt not With the truth, but with judJIIIICII!. Y oung then turned to theological "trutbft as revealed in scril!ture. Speaking from a Protestant penpective, he st~ the .-d for the individual to find his or"'Ie! -~ value" or the "irre- not be wonhwhile to live." To do less than this, be said, "is a fraudulent separation of personhood." Insisting that faith was an "integral part in my search for truth," Young spoke briefly of the conflict between what he knew as a young scientist concerning death, and the Gospel description of the Resurrection. this <JUestion was going to tum my life, .. he said. "'n The result was a n:ligious interpretation based on the religious significance of the event. The reason that preceded his faith also led him to it. "Science doesnl deal with purpose," he added . J-ltfound religious verification, unlike scientific · proof, to be m0115ured by the effect of faith in the life of the believer.

A young woman . pushes through the swing doors, nylon flight bag slung over her shoulder. She hesitates for a moment and then walks across the room. circling around clusters of people in leotards and sweats, to a brief blank space along the wall. She sets her bag down between a couple of knapsacks. After shimmying out of knee length pants that look like a gray garbage bag, she turns, dressed in a black • leotard and nesh pink tights, to look at the dance noor. In 15 minutes, the auditi o n for the Zodiaque Dance Company will begin. The Zodiaque, UB's resident dance co mpany. is holding its annual audition. I Mos1 of those auditioning are dance s tudents at UB, aJtbougb some come from Buffalo State and .u:ea high schools. Anyone from the community is welcome to try out. The only requirements are that he or she is at least 17 years old and dressed in dance clothes. he company was begun 15 years ago by Linda Swiniuch, who is also the head of the U B dance program. The Zodiaque presents two major concerts a year, one in the fall and the other in the spring. Usually ten to 12 pieces are performed during a concert. Each dancer will appear in )hree to four of these. Since the genre of the pieces varies, from ballet to modern to jau., it is important for Zodiaque dancers to be versatile. "We want," dance faculty member and choreographer Tom RaJabate says, "a dancer who can cross between differelll idioms of dance." The dance pieces in a Zodiaque con· cert are choreographed around 't; theme. Last year's was the "Seven Ages of Man." Dancers must not just dance, but perform these themes. Tressa Gorman, who teaches and choreographs modern dance, assertS: "To tie the concert together they really have to be pret:y good actors." In addition to versatility and theatricality, Zodiaque choreograplters look, according to Swiniuch, for "the usual qualities that make someone a good dancer - clean technique, good line, T "We look at how people apply themselves. Do they jump right in and attack, or hang out in the back?" · • strong attack, good focus , quick study, and that special something." The first two terms, "clean technique" and "good line" are usually the result of years of prior training. Without much training, however, a "natural type of dancer," Ralabate says, can posssess these qualities in potential. "They know where their legs belong, where their weight belongs." "Strong attack" refers to the way a dancer reacts when he or she encounters a new movement. "We look," Swiniuch says, "at how'Jl"'ple apply themselves do they jump right in, attack the problem, or pang out in the back?" By "p rOni means that "the' · and minds shouldn't be all ov.:r the p " while "quick study" refers to a daneer's bility to pick up a movement "very quickly." And finally, there's that ineffable "special something." Whatever it is, when a dancer auditions and has this quality, ·but not a lot of technique, they can stiU "be very good to have," Swiniuch says. Now it's 4 p.m. and the audition has begun. The first section is ballet. Sweats discarded, the dancers~· ~e.~selves on ,either side of e ~~':'. ~ have been lined up alon the sides and at the rear of the dance no r. Before them stands UB ballet instructor Eileen Lambert, while several feet behind her the rest ofthe dance faculty sit in chairs clus- in4!9/ teted along the edge of the floor as if it were a stage. Which it is, for today the audition is in essence a performance. l..amhert; a slender woman with posture so good that it could be considered a moral attribute, begins to give the dancers both visual and verbal ballet commands. The students follow Lambert, keeping their heads as straight and level as if tbey were balancing copies of the Bible, by watching her out of the comers of their eyes. About30 minutes later, the ballet section eods. The' bars are pushed to the sides and the music on the record player, described by Swiniuch as "standard classroom ballet music," is changed to John Williaml playing ViyaJdi. T be first half of the modem section of the audition is conducted by dance faculty member Tressa Gorman. She leads several students out onto the noor and puts them tbrou an adagio, an exercise which requires sustained, controlled movement. Some of the dancers begin to Oush. Damp wisps of hair escape from rubber bands and bobby pins and •omeone's combs y out of her chignon in mid-tum. After about 20 minutes, Gorman returns to the audience. "I think we lost a few on the adagio," she says, as she watches her coUeague Karen Georger conduct the rest of tbe modem section to Dave Brubeck's "Take 5." T I t! ~ I be final section of the audition, directed by Lynne KurdzielFormato, is jazz. The students briefly leave the noor to change from ballet slippers into jau. shoes. When they return, the music playing is Huey Lewis' '"Siammin." The dancers begin to move, some just to Kurdziel-Formato's instructions, others to both her instructions and the music.

APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE: SOFTWARE PACKAGES Newcomers to the University who need to do computer work are likely to be overwhelmed by the complexity of our computing environment. We have many different kinds of computers. several different operating systems. and serve students, faculty, and staff with widely varying requirements and levels of expertise. Our computer syslems are used to teach classes. conduct research, 11nalyze data. register students, provide office automation, as well as for a variety of other purposes. This guide will provide you with an overview of the different computing s~st~ms available to you that are supported by the University Computing Services (UCS). We hope that it will help you choose an appropriate computing environment for your needs from the often confusing alternatives. Library software is an important part of any computing system Software of general interest to the entire user community is purchased and maintained on the appropriate system by Academic Computing: Special interest packages may be purchased and maintained by individual departments. Examples of ACS supported software are: Hardware and Software ~· IMSL(CMS,VMS), UNPACK(CMS,VM SI UNDO(CMS), MACSYMA(Unix,VMS). MAPLE(CMS),SAS/Ofl(CMS) Computer systems consist of hardware and software. Hardware refers to the physical components such as the central processing unit (CPU), storage devices known as main memory and secondary memory, and devices used for communication with the computer. The speed of the CPU, the size or amount of main memory, the number and speed of disk drives and connecting ports or terminals, all set an upper limit on the kind of performance theoretically possible from the . BMDP(CMS,VMS),MINITAB(CMS,VMS). MULTIVARIANCE(CMS) SAS(CMS,VMS),SORITEC(CMS), SPSS-X(CMS,VMS) syslem.

Text '"'-Ins RUNOFF(VMS), SCRIPT(CMS), TeX(Unlx,VMS), troff(Unix) . f HARDWARE : : : : : : Our largest and fastest computer is an IBM 3081-GX j mainframe. We also have several DEC VAX computers (yf¥1( 11 1785's, VAX 8650's and a VAX 8700), often referred to as "superminicomputers," since their size, power, and performance place them between minicompUlers and mainframes. In addition, we have a Sperry 7000/40 minicomputer available to academic users; a Sperry 1191/SV mainframe available only to administrative users; and 12 Sun workstations, high-performance bit-mapped microcomputer systems oriented toward applications in·CAD (Computer-Aided Des!gn), CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing), graphics, eng1neenng, and software development Finally, we have a . vanety of microcomputers: IBM PC's, AT&T microcomputers DEC Rainbows, and-Apple microcompt.~ers (Apple tie's and ' Mac1ntoshes.) We can c~mpare hardware in several different ways. CPU speed IS a conyement re(erence point, since the time-a single stel? or lnstruct1on of a program takes provides a reasonable baSis of companson for two computers that will run the same kind ot programs. We_can also compare computers by the size or potential s1ze of pnmary memory. This can be important because some programs may require very large amounts of pnmary memory to run effectively or to run at all The IBM 3081 mainframe ~s 32 mflf!~bytes of memory. Its document~ operating speed IS 12.6 million Instructions per seco~d (MipS). The VAXctuster (VMS), consisting of two VAX 8650 s, a VAX 8700, and a VAX 11/785, has a total of 32 megabytes of memory. The documented operating speed ot the VAX 8700 and ~he 8650s is approximately 5 Mips. The Sperry 7000/40 ha~ 8 megabytes of memory, and a documented operating speed of 6 Mips. The vAX 11 /78!1, (Umx) h~s 16 megabytes of memory and an operating speed of 1.5 M1ps. w~ _considering the above information, however. ij is best to keep 1n mind that measurements such as comparisons of CPU speed, and memory SIZe are often too simple for large computers that will be shared by a number of users· system loads will have an extremely important effect on sysiem perfonmance.

SYSTEMS SOFTWARE PHOTOS: DOUG LEVERE Academic Computin!l provides a vareijy of operating systems 1n order to offer a wfde range of computing enrivonments These include VM/Cf,AS Release 5.0 for the IBM 3081 VMS 4.7 on the VAXclustar, and 4.3BSO Unix on the Sperry' WHICH SYSTEM IS THE BEST? • : ; : • Which system is the best for you may depend on many factors, Including where particular software packages are located, CPU speed, amount of memory, system loads and job turnaround t1me. Faculty, researchers, and staff new to our comput1ng enVIronment may want to ask staff consultants and oth;er faculty and staff members for advice in determining wh1ch system I.S best for their needs. Individual instructors usually determme the computing environment for classes. j Ac~essing thtLlar_ge___ . . ! Computer Systems : Having determined what kind of systems are available how • can you get access to a particular system? A computer account (usemame and password) is required to access each system. All registered students, faculty, and stSff can obtain a username (account) on the VAXcluster, where an on-Une use!'"ame ass1gnment program creates usemames based on soc1al secl!nty number (SSN) or student number for those students without a SSN. To facitute the creation of usemames at the start of each (when demand is the heaviest), we set aside one terminal at each of our Computing sites solely for th1s purpose. It is usually located close to the consultant's office; look for the signs marked VAX USERNAME~. The username program is interactive and easy to run. you Will be asked for your social security number (or student number). your name, and a password for your account. The computer will then displaff.our usemame (based on your SSN or student number) and Indicate when Y04JI account will become !lClive (usually the next day). If you find that you need a VAX accol!ntlater in the semester, when there is no longer a term~nat dedicated to running the username program at each Site, ask the consunant for instnrctions to accass the . usemame program.

ACCOUNT SECURITY AND · PASSWORDS Every computer account has ils own password which is determined by the "owner" of that account This is a secur~ measure to prevent unauthorized persons from logging on ~h your username and gaining access to your files. ObviQusly, if lh1s secunty system Is to be effective, you must protect the secrecy.of your password. You should change it occasionally and av01d wnllng 1t down or telling it to anyone else. (VAX and IBM passwords expire every gq ~ys forc1ng you to change your password.) You should also choose a password which is nol easy for someone else to guess: don't use your name or initials! If you Jorge! what your password is or if~ expires, you w111 have to come to Room 215 in the Computing Center to fill out a Password Change form. Only the "owner'' of1m account can reguest a password change, and proper identification must be provided when requesting the change. Under no c~rc umstances can we look up a previous password, or change a password via a phone call. You may not request a ch~ ng.e tor someone else. These policies have been · established for your own protection and are strictly adhered to by our staff. LOGGING ON Once your account has been established, you are ready to log on. Information about how to log on to our systems is provided in the introductory guides to the IBM/CMS, VAAIVMS, and Unix systems.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

GEORGE Dean. taculty of Natural Sclences and MathematiCS 1st-rate research helps assure quality teaching n keeping·with the University's mission as a major teaching and research institution, the Faculty of Natural.Sciences and Mathematics is committed to developing and maintaining first-rate research programs concomitantly with its teaching activities. Indeed, teaching at the gradu~ ate level and certain phases of the advanced undergraduate level is based not only on student preparing to carry out independent research, but also on students actually performing research which often leads to presentafions at conferences and / or · published articles. While it is possible to be an effe~ve teacher without having an ongoing program of creative endeavor and scholarship, we feel that our teach-·· ing effort is strongest and most exciting when the teachers themselves are stretching their minds to make contributions at the frontier of a . given di cipline .whether cientific or pedagogic. • Seo ........ - 12 RESEARCH IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES ly DAVID C.

Sulphur nucle i (with 32 nucleons)· were accelerated for the first time at 6.4 trillion electron vo lts (Te V). In the previous year. experi ments at CE R N had accele rated o~ygen nuclei (with 16 nucleons) at 3.2 TeV. In his published an icle Jain shows that tlie energy densi ty of particles after collisio n is 15 to 20 times higher than the expected energy densi ty of the nucleus. This hi gh energy densi ty·s2 lieved to be eviaence for the prese nce of uark-gluon · plasma. Jain also publishe he fi rst results of the earlier oxygen~i on experiment in Physical Review utters (November 30, 1987). showing that the energy density o f th ose particles after collrsion is S to 7 times higher than the expected energy densi ty of the nucleus. T he ph ys icis ts expe rime nt ing at CERN are on a search for evidence for two very small elements of matter quarks and gluons. An ,atom is composed of electrons. protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons. in turn, are thought to be composed of quarks and gluons. Quarks are believed to have mass apd no apparent stru clure. til For years, experimental physicists have attempted to knock a quark out of particles, but they have been unsuccessful . Physicists have proposed that quarks are free only when they are in the form of the quark-gluon plasma. A gluon is a bundle of energy similar to a photon - the bundle of energy in electromagnetic interactions. Gluons are the strong binding -energy of quarks and they interact with other quarks, holding them together like a magnet is held to a · piece of iron, but with much more force . In quark-gluon plasma, the energy density of that "soup" of quarks and gluons should be.. higher than the energy densit y of a normal nucleon. When quarks are close together, the energy level is low. Physicists have thus prc>posed that gluons are able to procluce more &luons when an attempt is made to separate quarks, creating a higher energy density. The latest CER e~periments enwl the acceleration o heavy ions at high ener&Y. The lar&er amounts of c:.nergy produced in heavy ion collisions may have enabled scientists to capture one of the most elemental forms of matter. "The quarks in a proton are hound with so much force that you can' tear them apan," ·Jain said. "The theoretical prediction was that if the ener&Y &OCS hiah enough and the temperature aoes hi&h enouah. then the quarks can be free for a short time from their conventional enviroriment in the nucleon." E ~periments to produce quark-gluon plasma have implications for understanding how t.he origin of the universe occurred . Physicists have proposed that a Big Bang occurred during the first few seconds of t.he ·origin of the universe. The Big ·Bang was an unimaginabl y huge ·e~plosion that set the universe in motion and created our solar system's Sun and planets. 'Distant stars are still speeding away from the center oft he Big Bang,' according to calculations made by astronomers. "During the Big Bang, the temperature was very high during a very shon time, measured in microseconds,"' Jain said. • All quarks and gluons were produced at that time in an expanded state. As they cooled, the quarks became 'frozen' into neutrons, prOtons, and other strongly interactive particles." In the particle accelerator, scientists are attempting to duplicate the conditions of the Big Bang. "In the e~periment , we hit the target material at a very high temperature. If the energy of tbe particle and tbe temperature were high enough, nucleons may have e~panded, freeing quarks into a quark-gluon plasma," Jain said . A mong the 400 physicists from around the world taking pan in the experiments, there were teams of specialists with their panicular instrumen ts atticki na from different perspectives. "These experiments have implications. for understanding the origin of the universe J1 The teams included high-<: nergy physicists. nuclear physicists, astrophysicists, and statistical physicists. All other groups of physicists work in large teams of 30 to 40 scientists, but Jain works with only two post-<loctoral research assistants. " We are the smallest group in the world, but we were able to publish first in Physical Rtvitw LLutrs." Jain said. Jain's panicular method of analysis is done by nuclear emulsion. His special photo-sensitive emulsion is mounted on glass. Panicles that travel through the emulsion leave tracks that can be analyzed after the elJlulsion is developed. According to Jain, nuclear emulsion has the highest space resolution of any detector. The tiniest distances (as small as one tenth of a micron) can be measured in this special emulsion. He purchases the emulsion from Japan and has it developed in Geneva or other . locations. Each panicle in a nuclear collision can · be analyzed according to its angle of deOection, the distance it traveiJ, and other facton . It takes up to eight hours to analyze one collision, which can have 400 to 500 panicles recorded in t.he emulsion. In addiljon, t.he emulsions have to be selected, so that only head-on collisions are analyzed. J ain calculated the energy density of up to 500 particles in eacb bead-on collision created by the heavy ion and recorded in the nuclear emulsion. He then concluded t.hat the higher energy density of the particles after coUision may be an indication of the new state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma. The only e~perimental panicle physicist at UB, Jain also has done e~peri­ ments at particle accelerators at Cornell Univenity, Stanford University, Brookhaven National Labbratofy, Fermi National Laboratory, and the La~ Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). Brook:\ haven has accelerated heavy ions at 14 billion electron volts (GeV), and LBL has accelerated heavy ions at 2 GeV .. Jn other bcavy·ion experiments , CERN expects to accelerate a lead nucleus in 1989 and Brookhaven expects to accelerate a gold nucleus. Jain served on the selection committee ·i hat developed a proposal for locating the projected national S11perconducting Supercollider (SSC) in New York State. The state government bas since decided to drop out of the race for the facility. Jain said that he can do his e~periments anywhere in the the is located. " But if this nation does not build the the will become second-rate," • he said. u.s. sse. sse u.s.

Fred Wood, UB's telecommunications manager, explains that Erie Counry adopted an enhanced 911 emergen£y response system in July. "We have had the 911 system for years in the City of Buffalo but not in the suburbs. The enhanced 91 I sys tem is new for everybody.'' . "Public Safety is the organizatjg_n that will ·respond,· so call them first."

If you are at a dorm phone, you need to dtal a 6 for an outside line before diali ng 911. With the new system, anyone on campus can summo n help by dialing 911 after first getting an ou tside line. But, Public Safety officers are urging anyone needing assistance on either campus to call them directly. Public Safety can be reached at 636-2222 on the Amherst Campus or 831-2222 at Main Street. From phones linked to the cam- . pus phone system, one need only dial 2222. " In the enhanced 911 system, the tele· phone company computer knows where rhe caJI is coming from and directs it to the answering point that covers the area where the phone is located," said Wood . For the Main Street Campus, all calls are directed to the downtown headquarters o of the Buffalo Police Department. All ~ Amherst Campus calls go the Amherst Police. a campus call. according to Steve Barry , technical specialist for Public he new 911 calls are routed to the Safety.

Low voter turnout for U.S. presidential elections may u.s..voter complacency ·called 'misguided' indicate indifference on the pan of Americans toward their political system. Three international scholars at U B say this apparent com- · placency is misguided. "When you vole, you vote not only l'br yourself, but for all the people in countries affected by U.S. policy. So vote, " urged Brazilian architect Marcelo Guimaraes. Guimaraes is visiting UB to study accessibility fqr the handicapped in American buildin gs .~ In Brazil, he related. adults are obligated to vote. He find s poor voter turnout in the U. S. a rather s trange: phenomenon. "' It shows that America ns are not very aw:!re of what 's happening outside this "When you vote, you vote for all the people in countries affected by the policies of the U.S." - MARCELO GUIMARAES CQilnlry ," Guimaraes said. In his view, it also demonstrates Americans' lack of knowledge of how U.S. foreign policy affects other countries. "But, being here, I understand why people don'! vote. We (Brazilians) are always afraid of what's going to happen International scholars decry low turnouts ~ to social and political affairs in Brazil, so we rush to get as much information as we: can. Here, you feel safe. You can trust in policemen and public officials. But we are just beginning our country's history. We cannot do that. Brazil lacks a tradition of bona fide democratic elections. Guimaraes said. Although Brazili'\fi and U.S. campaigns appear somewhat similar,. he said, there is a difference in the way Americans and Brazilians perceive: their politicians. In Brazil, he said , the people feel that· they are "customers" of tho local politicians. Brazil, in transition from a military regime to a civilian government, is currently trying to write a new constitu- tion. Hopefully, the new document will create a new political tradition, he said. "Now, they (politicians) are all cats in the same bag," Guimaraes said. "The people don'! feel that they are really representative of public ideas. That makes social and political changes diffi. cult to achieve." · In the U.S., people are more aware that the president is a public employee who is responsible ~o the citizens, said Guimaraes. "If people choose not to vote, that's freedom. It's beuer than what we have (in Brazil). But it would be bel· ter if all Americans voted. We are all citizens of the world . We have a responsibility to the world , and should all join in effons to deal with world events. • M inendra Rijal, an M.B.A. student from Nepal, explained American voter turnout differently. It 's not only how many Americans who vote that iss ues and political platforms. Cliches, -f'hetoric, and slogans seem to help increase understanding o f broad issues, Rijal said. Also, he commented, ~th< med ia cannot change the facts in favor of o ne candidate or ano ther. The adva n- tages outweigh the disadvantages of media participation ... P ak istani Saq• Jafarep..an'assistant professor of economics, said the media here does tend to blur the distinctio ns among the political views o.f president ial candidates. The focus in the media is often on personal character. matters, he said . The issues they're vot- " family relationships, and charisma. he ing on also count; he said. In Nepal, the said , rather than on issues. crown plays a great role in elections. This " Issues are not given the focus they role, combined with the unicameral legislature and the Jack of any legal pany affi. liations whatsoever. obscures issues, he said , and destroys the cred ibili1y of elections. When Americans don' vote, it ind i- cates that things are going well in the country, said Rijal. He feels it's one thing if voters stay away because they don' ca.re who the next president is. It's quite another if they stay away because their vote is meaningless, as is the case in many countries. · However, the political system in Nepal is slowly becoming more democratized, a change Rijal hopes will continue. He's pleased to be in the U.S. during an election year. "It (the democratic system) is the dream that I cherish, so I really enjoy watching this process," he said. But still, he noted, there are flaws in the system. The media here can greatly influence an election. Witness, for example, tbe end of Gary Han's presidential hopes. · But still, Rijal said, "If the media weren' there, it wouJd be worse ... Maha distills the issues for people. Not everyone is capable of analyzing -campaign sho uld be given. Campaigns are focused on the person who is going to be president rather than the pan y that 's goi ng to be in power... By concentrating on rhe superficial and sensational aspects of campaigns. and alternately playi ng off and shaping "Issues don't get the focus they deserve. Personal things get much more coverage." - SAOIB JAFAAEY public opinion, the media does a disxrvice to the electoral process, Jafarey said. He added: "If the level at which candidates are evaluated is superficial, that poses a potential threat to gelling a good outcome through the electoral pro- cess." $ Can't find .a parking space? Try the shuHie service ndividuals in desperate need of a parking space can be helped by the "Park and Ride" shunles, Q UB official said this week. According to AI Ryszka, associate for f&mpus services, three Park and Rid e shuttle services are available. They cover almost all locations on the Amherst Campus. Here are the details: • For ttiose arriving from the Webster or Coventry entrances from Millerspon Highway, the P8 (Alumni) Shuttle will travel to any location along Putnam Way. Th~ shunle returns to the Recreation and Athletics Complex lot approximately every I 0 minutes. • For those arriving from the 1-990, Skinnersville Road. or Audubon Parkway, the PI and P2 (EIIicon) Shuttle will travel to the Hamilton Loop every 10 I minutes. • For those arriving from the Flint or Rensch entrances from either Millerspen or Sweet Home Roads, the P9 and PIO Shuttles will travel to any location along Putnam Way. Traveling' from the Crofts Hall parking lot and the Center for Tomorrow lot respectively, these P9 and PIO shunles also travel to and from the spine every 10 minutes. • The Park and Ride shunles run on ·class days during the fall and spring S<:mesters from 9 a.m. to 5:45p.m. Those who plan to remain on campus after 5:45 p.m. are urged to use th~ Ellicon lots, since the Blue Bird Bus operates until midnight. . "We can stop at any building along Putnam Way," Ryszka emphasized. "We11 stop if you raise your hand . AU of this is being done to make this as conve- nient as possible for those who use this service ... Ryszka said an increased use of the shuules should eliminate much of the parking squeeze along the spine. For example, "the amount of space at the Crofts and the Center for Tomorrow lots is more than adequate at the peak time between 9 a.m. and 2 p. m., • he said. "If more people parked in those lots, it would edd the crunch. " T he recommendations for parking are based largely on a study of the Amherst Campus parking lots conducted by UB in association with tbe Depanment of Civil Engineering. The study analyzed !be use of each lot and determined that the peak hours along tbe spine are 9 Lm.to 2 p.m. These hours of maximum use vary, but only slightly. By contrast, no peak,hours occurred at either the Center for Tomorrow or Crofts Jots. "In the eight years that I've been here, I've never once seen those lots full," Ryszka commented. The only major problem lingering for planners is gening people to use the lots and ride the shuttles. Said Ryszka: "We have information booths over at the Center for Tomorrow, over at Public Safety, and tbe parking information center. The Public Safety Parking Rqu/Dtions Handbook has several pages devoted to tbe shuttle itself.· Public Safety expects to distribute the handbook by Oct. I. Still, the parking situation is not as severe as in previous ye&Q. "We're seeing more students on the shuttles this year than last year," Ryszka said. $ �Music plqns its usual full concert seasorY · c i"'lo.;-,, -' ~ o ~ '' \ ·i . I .'

The conference wi ll showcase the work of women ,playwrights fro m six continents, most of whom have bad little opportunity to meet and discuss thei r work. A series of workshops, staged readinss. theatre demot"U"tions, and d iscussions will comprisNhe "Playwfights' Sessions" to be held Oct. 18-20 at Amherst. Registration for these sessions is limited, and 200 to 300 playwrights are expected to attend. On Oct. 21 -23, "Public Sessions" will be held in the downtown Theatre District during which playwrishts will again stage readinss and explore the diversity of form and content in women's drama with schOlars. critics, and general aud iences through a series of panels. Among issues to be discussed a.re the question of whether women·s aesthetic sense d iffers from that defined by men: the use made of myth, folklore , and rituai; how women writers ""censor" themselves and why; the use of humor and comedy; whether lesbian writers speak with a ...different" vo ice; and how women perceive and articulate the use of power. Issues related to role definition by ge nder and family · dynamics, women UB is U Playwrig~ event Ieven of Buf lo's professional theatre companies will produce plays written by women which will run during the eveninss of Oct. 14-23 in co njunction with the conference. " Humanities Sessions" will be held in Buffalo's His panic, Black and P.olish communities, Oct. 18-20, from 8 to 10 p.m. These sessions are free and open to the public. Participants will explore plays by Polish, Hispanic, African and African-American women and examine how their cultural perceptions and se nsibilities inform their work. France-says the confe~Cnce was developed in respo:tse to a srowing interest in the work of women playwrishts among producers, critics, and the public and in response to requests by the playwright!; themselves. Today, in major English-speaking countries.. plays by women account for only about seven per cent of the professional theatre season. At the same time, however, nearly a third of the members of the Dramatists Guild are women. Women playwrights in the United States have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, hundreds of Obie and Dramatists Circle awards, .significant srants and other important honors, and France says that the invited playwrights from abroad have· all achieved comparable prominence in their countries. Participating playwrisbts will come from rhe U.S .. the Republic of China~ Argenti n~ New Zealand~ Sweden, Finland. M·exico, Norway, Japan, Pueno Rico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Sri Lanka, Poland, Israel, Australia, England, Nigeria, South Africa, and Jamaica. T he conference is multi-cultural, says France, "because we seek responses to basic questions from the diverse vantage points of women from various coun- ; tries, races, dasses, and cultural backgrounds. We expect the event to lead to new collaborations and theatrical experiments ... Members of the conference planning committee include: France, Kathleen Jletskn, New Yorlc City-based p.laywri'g ht and co-editor of lnttrviews wiih Con,.mporary Women Playwrights (W.

CD ·n dental institute funding 8 received more funding last year from the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR) than any other instituion in the nation, according to N IDR sources. The University received $5,586,228 last year from the agency for srants, awards, and research contracts. This figure represents a dramatic jump of 69.8 per cent, or $2.3 million, over monies received from NIDR in 1986. • The bulk of NIDR suppon went to faculty and staff involved in research in the School of Dental Medicine. Some . fundins was awarded to scientists and · educators elsewhere on the faculty who are conduct.ing dental-related research projects. William M. Feagans, D.D.S., Ph. D., dean of the School of Dental Medicine, said the substantial increase in fundins from NIDR is a milestone in the school's history. It is the first time UB has been first . nationally in total awards from NIDR for a one-year period, Feagans said. He - credits tbe accomplishment to team efforts of facUlty and staff and administrative support from President Steven B. S~ple and his associates. "Without this combination of support and bard work, we could not have been Number One, • Feasans emphasizes. Among areas of research on campus that benefitted from NIDR support last ear are- the microbiology and immunolIIY of oral diseases, hone metabolism nd connective tissue problems, etioloSY ~ and tre-atment of periodontal disease, salivary function and dysfunction, neuromechanics associated with dysfunction of the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, and stud ies foc using on oral health and disease in the geriatric population. ast September, NIDR funding estal>lished a nat ional Dental Research Institute in oral bioloiiY at· the School of Dental Medicine.

For this and other reasons, Simpso n and a number of UB students are · involved in· a new campus recycling group called the UB Recyclers. The group formed early last spring, a semester after Simpson had. at the urging of the UB Greens. resurrected a previous campus recycling program. ~ recycli ng o n campus had been abandoned about two years earlier for cconomk-teasons. But the Greens' co nce rn promp ~d Simpso n " to take another look ... For vanous reasons, cam pus recycling turned out to be economically more feasible than it had been two years earlier. ( Simpson first located a CanadiaA..fulo't called Domtar Fiber Produ.cts thar)l'ilys a fai r price for each ton of paper and also picks up frequently. Then he reestablished the recycling program at U B on limited scale in the Fall of 1987. Hopi ng to expand the p;ogram with student volunteerS, Simpson co ntacted the Student Associatio n early the following spring. T he Stud ent Association advertised in the Spectrum for volunteers for'the program and soon, according to Simpson, "The phone was ringing off the hoo k. We received 30 calls in three days." a The end result was that 20 people became, in Simpson 's words, ..quite committed." The newly formed group named themselves the "UB Recyclers." With their help Simpson was able to greatly expand tbe limited new recycling operation. ' In one semester, the UB Recyclers increued the number of paper pick-up sites on both campuses from two to 14 buildings. In addition, they helped to more than double the amount of paper collected - from 10'/z tons in the Fall of '87 to 24'/z tons in the Spring of 1988. Si.nce it takes about 17 u~s.to make one ton of paper, this means 41f'troes were saved last spring, compared to 178 '/z the preceding fall. T he program s ummer by Simpson and two st udents from the UB Recyclers, Scott Sackett and Glynnis Collins. They collected roughly two tons of paper a week, or abour20 tons over the course of three months. Since less paper waste is generated in the summer than during the school year, this number reflects bolh the dedication of the UB J!.ecyclers, who continued emptying the bins over the summer and the zeal of the maintet.ance crews and office workers who cont inued to fill them. This fall, the Recyclers hope to further ex pand the program by putting bins in more campus buildings. With more pickup sites, Simpson believes his group can increase the volume of B"per collected weekly from two tons 't6' three or four tons. To expand the program, the Recyclers will continue to need the support· of the UB community. Office workers, maintenance people, professors, and studenis can make the Recyclers' task easier by putting their different kinds of scrap paper in bags according to type before dropping the paper in the collection bins. The paper from the bins is normally sorted by the Recylers into seven different categories: regular computer printout, groundwood computer printout, newsprint , magazines, white ledger, colored ledger, and h«hh-white ledger (blank sheets of good qual ity white paper). Sorting allows the compani~ that buy the paper to manufacture more and better kinds of paper. · Randolph Marks named andolpb A. Marla, chairman of tbe board of American Brass Co., bas been named ~Niapra Frontier Executive of the Year" by the School · of Management. · The award will be pi'CICIIteil Wednesday, Sept. 28, at tbe 39ib annual School of Management Awards Banquet at the Hyatt Regency-Buffalo. The banquet begins at 6 p.m. Established in 1949, tbe award recos-llzes a resident of the Niapra Frontier ~ career bas been marked by "exec- R "The group wants 'to increase the amount of paper it collects, but would prefer to see less wasted in the first place. . . . " However, sort ing is also timeconsum ing and seems to be growing more so. As well-meaning people save more and more of their paper for recycling. the mixture of paper in the bins is becoming increasingly heterogeneous, while the task of sorting grows proportionately more difficult. Another way the U B community can help the Recyclers is by not not throwing garbage and other unacceptable material into the collection bins. In addition to food , food wrappers, styrofoam, and other plastics, the Recycleti have been ftnd.ing envelopes and paper with tape or non-water-wluble glue address labels, phone book•, catalogs, and other bound materials. The group hopes to eventually acquire a binding cutter. Until then, materials with . glue bindings remain unacceptable. B ut while the Recyclers hope to double the amount of paper collected each week, they would prefer to see ~WNY utivc success, a proven willingness to assume a leadership role in civic activities and demonstration of high personal integrity. ~ Tbe winner is chosen through balloting by officen and directors of the school's Alumni .\Mo<:iation, past winnen, the president of the University at Buffalo Foundauon, Inc., the UB president, and tbe dean of the School of Management. Put recipients include Robert E. Rich Sr., Henry Coords, Franz Stone, Paul L Snyder, Ross B. JC.enzie, Paul A. Wdlax, Robert E. Rich Jr., and Jeremy M. Jac- · less paper wasted in the first place. Group members Glynnis Collins and Paul Cocca describe recent finds in the bins. They included, says Collins, "tbousancb of unused student health insurance envelopes~ and "four or five boxes of extra promotion pamphlets for a speakers series ... " And it's very common," Coccli adds, holding thumb and index finger about an inch and a half apart, "to sec a computer printout this thick that looks like it wasn l even touched." Collins concludes: " We'd rather the~ it again op the otber sfde instead of giving it to us as scrap." This kind of needless waste of solid materials may be what disturbs the Recyclers more than anything else. The energy sq uandered and tbe air polluted by manufacturing more paper than society needs are not as visible as a twoinch-thick computer printout or d iscarded newspapers blowini across Founders Plaza. As Recycler Scott Sackett puts it: "For me, garbage is tangible - you can' see the effecu of energy wastefulness. I'd see garbage - glass, cans, paper - and wonder where does this all so? That's what really got me.~ . Those with questions about recycling or becoming a member of the UB Recyclers may call Simpson at 636-3636. New members are always appreciated and membership requires as little or as much time as tbey have to volunteer. CD Executive of the Year' obs.

After that , Galarneau still stayed on. helping the publication to take its present form . As for replacing the column itself, " we 're thinking or ma.ki ng the bac~ p~ge a rotating set or humor essays."

Bob Tahara, SA President, agrees with 'Sullivan in principle. When Tahara A not her \.erennial problem that student organizations have is fmding memben. In this respect, the Genualion is rather typical. O'Sullivan said he has been out, look· ing for new people interested in writing for the magazine'. "We aggressively recruited at orientation. We had a signup sheet and we will send out Oyen· to . everyone who signed up. I'm going to all or the English classes and I'm sending my photo editor to the photography classes." One or the methods or recruiting that the Gen<rarion hll.$ used is ads in the magazine. O'Sullivan said those are effective but that sometimes it takes more. "The ads never really had an impact on me even though I saw them all the time. It took an editorial at the end oft he year to make me say 'hey. I could be writing this!

O'Sullivan and the Generarion staff are upset about losing the SA ads for two reasons. One, because they were a reliable souree of funds . Two, because SA took office, there wasn\ enough money allocated in the SA budget for a contract that Md already been negotiated with the SpeC(;um, and none whatso.ever for any advertising in the Gtnl!ration. As a result, Tahara said, he and the Emergency Powen Council scrambled to find money for the Genuation.

Niagara By ERIC SANDS News Bureau Stat1 rchaeology at Old Fort Niagara recently went undc:rw~ter. The Old Fort Niagara Archaeology in Progress Project. which began land excavations nine years ago through the collaboration of .the Old Fort Niagara Association, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation. and Historic Preservation and UB's Anth ropology Department, has extended its digs inlo the w8tcr. Stuart D . Scott, Ph.D .. director of archaeology at the fort and associate professor of anthropology here. notes, .. This is a first attempt to extend land archaeology into the water in a systematic way. We are not going out there with divers and sporadically Starching the water. We are exerting some kind of control in the process ... The first couple of days of the ten-day underwater surveying expedition, which began August 26. was spent .. staking out .. a 100-foot grid square with cable. 1 he strong current and heavy grass in the wate r caused some problems in laying down the cable. The fenced-in area was systematically surveyed in 4-foot by 4-fool units with every box of the 100-foot grid drawn on a main archaeology map. According to Scott. "The underwater surveying was conducted as though the excavation were being done on land - with the same precision. caution. and exactness ... Because of the human tendency to throw things in the water. the underwater archaeology te am . headed by Wit- A liam Utley, had a lot of work to do. The team had to clear the area of modern junk before they could begin to comb for artifacts beneath the river muck with a gasoline powered suction sand lift. The fort. originally established as a French trading post in 1726, was taken by the British after the French and Indian War in 1758. The United .States, after the Revolution. took control of the fon from Britain. During the War of 1812, the Britis h maintained brief control of the fortificatipp , only to have it fall back into American hands. The United States used the fort as both a military and training estAblishment until finally relinquishing it as a historical site. Building 42, a deteriorated building by the mid-1980s. was. through the leader· Archaeologist Pat Scott a nd assistant plot excavat1on are a at historic fort D1vers are 1n the background. leadership of Brian Dunnigan. executive director of Old Fort Niagara. an!l Scott. restored and renovated to become the . main information and storage base for all the an:baeological projects at the fort . The Archaeology and Collections Care Center, the official name of the renovated building, presently s t and~ as one of the must spacious and best furnished research facilites in the state for historical archaeologieal research. The underwater ponion being surveyed was once used as a wharf and dock area by both the French and British from 1726 until around 1825 . .. However." states Scott , "we did not know that submergence would be present in the lake. even though we expected to find something." The <livers assisting Utley in the underwater excavation included John Chamberlain of England. who has a license to work on the 7().gun warship "Sterling Castle." wrecked on Goodwin Sands near the channel port of Dover in 1703: Kurt Knocrl of Cheektowaga and Roddrick Mather of Leeds.

The same is true for other universities in this country. The University provides a healthy. vigorous enviro nment cond ucive to inn ovative thinking and the advancement of new ideas, and it can provide seed money to help a new project blossom. However. the bulk of the resources for a firstclass research effon must come from outside sources. Th is is especially true. for programs requiring the purchase of equipment and supplies and / or the payment of salaries or stipends, which is usually the case in the physical sciences.

For both written and oral presentations of research results u well u proposals, the scientist must learn to ""advertise" hil/ her work .

The primary workina cell of the liver i called the hepatocyte. This cell, because It performs so many different liver-speelfic function , II very complex in both structure and in the blochemi· cal and metabolic reactions that It can perform. The pluma membrane is the limited membrane aurroundlna the hepatocyte; it separates the Interior of the hepatocyte from the external envlt· onment of the liver. Thla membrane of the hepatocyte Ia also complex. It Ia composed primarily of llpida, carbobydra:tea, and proteins. However, It II not uniform in compotitlon or atructure ~~ . every reaJon on the aurface of the cell. Rather, the pluma membr&M bu several distinct realons or domalru that an: involved.ln performlnathe diffem~t P functions or this complex cell. For example. one reaJon Ia involved in the secreuon of blood protclna that are ayntheaiud In the hepatocyte. Thla reaion ia also Involved In the uptake of nutrlcnll from the blood. The nutrlcnll are then dellven:d to the Imide of tbe hepatocyte "where they are further broken down. Another realon of the pluma membrane Ia lnvolwd in the transport of bile saltJ out or the cell. Thele bile aalu, actina like dekfltllll, are eventually delivered to the inteatine where they aid in the dl lion or fall and other foods after a meal. Other paru of the plasma membrane are hivolved In the tramport of alcohol and other drup to the In Ide of the cell where they are broken down or detoalf'ted. It is primarily the protciru that are preKnt In the pluma membrane of the hepatocyte that allow the diiTerent reaJom or dom ana or tbll membrane to .perform the different func:tlona that are char.ctcriltic of the liver. Hence the • dlfl'crent realona or do~na contain different protelm. For eumple, the realon Involved In the uptake of nu· trlenll rtom the blood contalna proteiru that recoanlze tbeae nutrienta, billlllna them and dellverina them·to the llllide of the hepatocyte.

Tl!iJ is · a very important function for two rea· sons: (I) cholesterol is necessary as a building .block for the lipids of the hepatocyte membrane, and (2) if cholesterol is not removed from the blood, it builds up and can cause atherosclerosis. The region or domain of the plasma mtmbrane involved in the transport of bile salts contains proteins that can carry these "cellular detergents" across the plasma membrane and out of the hepatocyte. These proteins are impor· tant because, if the bile salts are not bound to the plasma membrane protein, they can destroy the plasma mem· brane of the cell and the bile duets that carry the bile salts from tho. liver. In .fact, the primary cause of liver diseases tn children, such as primary biliary atresia and cirrhosis, is damage to the membrane domain of the liver involved in transpOrt of bile salts. The only treatment for this disease at present is liver transplantation. The research being done in the laboratory of Profeuor Doyle is con· corned with the identification, purilica· tion, and chl.riiCitrization of the proteins present in the different regions or domaiou of the plasma membrane of the liver hepatocyte. Its goal iJ to iden· tify and assign a specific function to as many domain-speciiiC proteins of the liver as pouible. He is using the devol· oping modern techniques in the areas of biochemistry, ceU bioloiY, ienetics, and molecular blolol)' to determine how the hepatocyte is able to place these different proteiou in the correct domain of its plasma membrane. For both rodents and humans he is studying the structure and regulation of the genes that eiiCOde these proteiou, and is also studyina the structure and · ita relatioouhip to tile funetion of these proteins in the liver· cell. Further, Profesaor Doy" is euminina the structure of both the domaln .. peciflc proteiou and the genes for these proteins in dileucs of the liver (particularly liver cancer and primary biliary atresia and cirrhosil) in the hope that he can pin· polnl the primary cause of each disease at the aenetlc/ biochemicalf molecular level.

Some of these are pattern recog· nition problems, e.g., recognizing printed and handwritten characters and distinguishing text blocks froin photographs. Pauern recognition problems are solved using mathematical models such as probability distributions and matrix algebra. Other tasks are utili· cial intelligence problems, such as how Jo recognize words of text using con· · textual knowledge and how to relate concepts in photographs and text. These tasks are solved using symbolic reasoning. Symbolic reaso ning is char· acterized by the use of heurist ics (rules of thumb usually represented as if·th<n· else statements) and knowledge representation formalistDJ . Professor Srihari also faces the sys· tem integration problems of how to coordinat< sol utions of d iffere nt subtasks to accomplish cenain goals.

"ancient" ice masses store a wealth of paleoenvironmental information on the history of the Earth. They provide an exciting and fascinating source of study for a variety of imponant scientific qui'Stions. Although of entirely d ifferent origins, at least three natural materials at or near the Earth's surface reveal much information about past climate, Earth h.istory, and the environment. They are tree-lings, sea-sediments, and glacier deposits.

The topic of fractal U IIU· died by Profeuor Nicholas KaarinoiT of the Department of Mathematia wa,, reviewed In the April 7, I~88 is ue of the Rrponu, where the concept of friiCial wu explained u belna "akin to the Idea of aeometric pattern continually repeatlna themselves In mathemati· cal equatlona, aeulna smaller and smaller Into a·secmlna inOnlty." •P- j lny s .mlconductor Structures P ro~ r 8rt10t D. McCo~be. · chair of the Depanment of Phyalct A Aat ronomy, and his Such materiaiJ wuaily take the form of thin layers of one semiconductor or severalsemiconducto~ (known u a heterostructure) repeated periodially to form what is known u a "superlanice." The thickneu of the individualliye~ can vary from a single atomic layer of about three Anptroms to several hundred layers {an Anptrom is 4 x 10-' inches). Since these tiny, micros.:oplc llructures vary in tbickneu from less than a nanometer ( 10-' meter) to about 100 nanomete~. they are referred to u "'nanostructurea .... These man-made eryttals have unique and sometimes remarkable properties not found in naturally-occurrina inaterials. Such propertia, which can be explained {and ~ properties predicted) by quantum pbyaica, are belna exploited in entirely new claua of electronic and optical devices with applications in computers and communicationa. In addition, new fundllliiCntal 1111es of matter have been discovered in these nanostructures, e.a .. the quantum Hall effect and the friiCIIonal quantum Hall effect. The ditcOvery of the quantum Hall effect resulted In tbe 1983 Nobel Priu for Klau von Kllttlna. and the effect is belna used by laboratoria around the world a a new resi lance st1.ndard . In this effect the resistance i quanti~ed (i .e .. hu a cotullnl value) over a certain ranae of an applied maanetic! field in integral multipla of h/ cl {h is Planck constant and e i the ehar~ of an electron) and i lndtprntknt of the Jlrength of the mqnetic Oeld or the aeometry of the nanostructure semi-' conductor. Accuracies to a few paru In ten million have been obse~ . incc the quantum Hall resistance is determined by a ratio of the fundllliiCntal cotUtanll h and e (~quared), It can aiJo be used u a rather aimple method of determinlna this ratio. This ia, in turn. beina used to test very fllndamcntal theories of elcctromaanetiam. • •~ unique propertla of thac nanostructum are beiog investigated at very low tell}peratura (near absolute zero, ~59" Fahrenheit) by IIUtl' techniques in the laboratories of Profeaso~ McCombe and Petrou. They are lludying the way in which laser light (rangina from the visible to the far infrared) is transmitted, scattered, and reflectt:d . from these structures. They are aiJo inspecting how absorbed light is reemilled at different discrete wavelengths in a process called pbototum•oescence. Their experiments are tcad!rpi the scientific community a gtell deal about electronic slltea and Janice vibrations of varia11.1 na~ lures. From this knowledge predictive theories can be developed permitting the design of other new materiaiJ with given desired proJICI:Iies. Thae new nanostructures can be used for further basic physical properties or to test the feasibility of panicular eleqronic or optical applications. Bayesl~n Statistics P rofessor AlbertY. Loin the Department of S!atistict lpccializes in Bayesian llatistia. Statistics is the science of makina decisions about an unknown value based on data collected througll an experiment. To ao about estimating the expected lifetime of an indilliduai afflicted with a terminal disease, for example. one would generally turn to one of two schools of llatisties: classical (i.e., frequentist) or Baye~ian. A clu ical statillician regard ' the expected lifetime u a lixed yet unknown quantity which can be estimated by, say, the averaae lifetime of such individuals. In contrut. a Bayesian opl:raiCI under the uaumplion that the expected lifetime is a random quantit y having its own probability d istribution . The as umption of a seemlnaJy lixed yet unknown value as beina random is not unusual. This i con i ll:nl with a view of the universe In which reality is not lixed, yet is inherently probabilistic. This probability distribution •wnmarizes a Bayesian 'a prior knowledp of the unknown value before co~ data and is called, appropriately, a prior diltribution. Such prior knowledae is abundant. For e.umple, It is "obviotU" that the expected lifetime of the infected Individual is much leu than tha~ of a healthy individual. When dala pour In, a Bayealan utU- ita a simple mathematical probability .theorem 1Bayea' theorem, named after the 18th-century cleric TbO!JIU Bayea - hence the tel]lt "llayeaiani 10 combine the infonriillo" from lhe aample data and the prior Information. The result is an updated veralon of tbe prior distribution, called a pcnterior dlalrlbution of the unknown value. Thl distribution allows one to specify not only the mott likely answer to the unknown value but al o the probability that It !lett In some interval of interest (aay the probability that tile tennlnallyo([bleued individual · expected to live more than four yean), · Profi or Lo'a reacarc:h In Bayesian llatlatlcl fOCUICI on 1huations wbeR the unknown value IIa in a ·space with larp dlmetulotu.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Calif. CD Radioactive waste storage plan raises concerns •Parker Hall facility poses no hazard. UB and State oHicials counter By JIM McMULLEN Reportet Slaff lan.s to compact and ston: UB't radioactive wutes in Parker Hall have ra ised concern' among so me build i ng employees. despite assurances from Univcrsily and Stale Health Departmenl officiab that no hazard ls involved . The entire Divjsion of Rad iation Proleclion Sc:r(iccs' will be: moved in1o I he 4.000-squarc-fool Bay #2. adjacenl 10 Parker Hall. said Robc:rt Hunt. director of Environmental Heahb and Safely. The area will house offices. labs. and a classroom in addition to storage space for waste materials. The facility is bc:ing moved from iu current location, the Howe Resean:h Laboratory, to make room for expansion of other labs housed in Howe. The materials to be stored in Parker an: of three types: dry. compactible trash (&loves. pipettes. paper. and needles), liquid materials (tracer fluids used in P animal experiments). and animal wute (carcuscs). said Radi ation Protection Manaaer Mark Pierro. The materials arc all low-levd· contaminant » that break down quickly, Pierro uid . .. The radioactivity from u lot or these matcriab could travel only a few reet if left out in open air," he said . HOthen require more care and arc shielded appropriately." In ract, all materials arc sealed in 55-gallon drums and Slored inside concrete tiunkcrs . They arc shipped to a disposal site in Washington State several times a year. "We don' keep more 1han 3~ drums on hand at one time ... said Pierro. although lhc facility is large enough 10 store many more. The low levels of radioactivity and frequent disposal cnsu"' thai 1be facility is safe, said Pierro. According 10 Clifford 8 . Wilson. assistant vice president for human resources, there iJ no rbk to employees anywbe"' in the building. S orne employees of Millard Fillmo"' College feel otberwise. Their office is located in a wing of Parker Hall next to the new storage facility . The two areas are separated by seve raJ feet of out- side air •pace. Thai distance:. alona with auurances of ufety from EnVironmental Health and Safely. is not enouah. uid Marilyn Rc nczc nski . MFC office manager. Ren.cte nski and Kveral other office workers have uked for help from lhc local Civil Service Employees Associalion (CSEA). "We do not want to be located four rcct away from nuclear material," said Reszczenski. "They can't demonstrate 1ha1 il"s safe . Acciden~ happen." She added : "'People in thai line of work (radioactive materiaLs handling) accepted it. We were not given a choice." Parker Hall employees we"' not nolified of lhc move until they uked aboul lhe construction under way in Bay #2. There is no secrecy, said Wilson ... In fact. it's no dif!c...,nl from any depart mental move, .. he said ...The University doesn' tell anybody who their new neighbor is going lobe. It isn' an issue that is normally dealt with." The facility hu been approved by the Stale Health Departmcnl and by Pierro, who is UB's expert in radiation protcc:tion. Pierro hopes those assurances will satisfy everyone when they sec the safe operation of the area. 'They're uki na aood quulions," !Bid Pie rro, who met with concerned employees in July and Auaust. "Quilc rcuonable (quellioru) for people nol familiar with radioactivity." His cxplan· ations 1atisfied so me of them, but others arc still concerned . Said Rcszczenski: " We want to be moved ou1 of I his complex." Local CSEA President Kathleen Bcrchou said I he union. 100. would like the M FC offlee• moved out of Parker Hall. Bcrchou said I he"' arc I 5 problema wilh the M FC offices not related to the radioactive waste iuue. These include poor heating and cooling systems, excessive noise levels. and the presence of exhaust fumes. Wilson said the Univerity is moving forward on construction of the Radia· tion Protection Services Facility, and he will continue to meet with concerned MFC staffers on the issue. The facility il projected lo open in late October or early November. He said the University is also laking a look allh< MFC workers" concerns that are unrelated to the new facil · lity. "They an: unhappy. and I understand ~·" he said. He added: "Communication is 1hc key to resolving this issue." f.D �September 1' 1988 Vol. 20 No.1 AUJOMOBILE REGISTR41101V \. . ~~~ ,~~ ~:. .~~~~.~~!. . ?..~!o~e:..:_,.,_'"'-·· TBhr:,:,,~~.~~~.?,~,~~~.~;t;,::: _fee. year vehtcle reg1strat10n It 15 des 1,gned to Improve enfOrcement Of regulatiOnS governing parkmg for faculty , staff, and s tudent s, says Clifford b .

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Ackley of the TOG. hree tenants are set to move into the new high technology incubator on Sweet Home Road around Sept. I.. The 40 ,000square-foot facility contains laboratory and office space for the nurturing of new electronic, engineering, computer, and biomedical firms. The Western New York Technology Development Center (TDC) is managing the incubator for the UB Foundation, which owns the land and building and functions as the landlord , said Stephen A. Ebsary, Jr. , the foundation's director of real estate and administration . Joseph J . Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation, commented : .. I'm looking forward to the official opening of the center and the establishment there of some solid co mpanies. Our hope is that the Western New York eco nomy will be strengthened as a result of the UB Foundation effort .Mark W . Ackley. technology transfer director for the TDC, is managing the incubator's day-to-day operations as it nears completion. Ackley hopes the three firms will be in by Sept. I. "We have to make sure that all the mechanisms a~ in order for their arrival .... Two of the firms - C.J. Brown Eng_inee r i na and E . B. Ass._ociates Laboratory Inc. - are moving from the University's inc ubator at 22 1 I Main Street, which the TDC manages. Here the emphasis will be biotechnology. in part because of the proximity to US's health sciences faculty, Aclc.ley said . A third firm, Bio Med Sciences Inc. is relocating to the Amherst incubator from the Philadelphia area. Its founder . 25-year-old Mark E. Dillon, says he looked in Philadelphia for similar space. but found .that the Amherst incubator offered beuer leasing term s and more direct e ntree to university know-how . D ilion is developing products in wound care tech nology as well as biomedical amplant material for use in reco nstructive surgery. He has two patents pending and another one issued . Though he i.s now the company's only full-time employee. he. wi.l\ hire another employee immediately upon his arrival. In lh.rec: years, Dfllon hopes ro ,.._. • sraff of ...cighr to ten ... He holds a B.S. in ceramic engineering fro m Alfred Universi ty-and has extensive knowledge of plastics. .. AU potential incubating firms must submit a business plan. " said Ackley. .. The TDC is primarily interested in technology-founded industries. which usually means manufacturing-oriented. or technical services-oriented, or technical product-o riented types of companies. .. In taking someone into the incubator. there 's a process, initiated after the first meeting, which is usuaHy directed toward building a business plan. This takes from two to three months ... He continued : "'The highest value we offer an ent repren eur, outside the initial counseling, is the network of people we are plugged into in the financial, accounting, legal, and technical communities and the credibility that goes along with it. We only take those (busiiness) plans that we reel have a good potential for success." The Amherst incubator, designed by local architect John W . Shaflucas and built by Frank L.

Comments Ackley: "There's a fairly significant operational cost for a high technology facility like this, which has a lot of laboratory space and a lot of mechanical systems. In order to provide incubation space at a reduced rent , there has to be so meone making up the difference. And that's the concept of anchor tenants." By paying market rents, the anchor firms will in effect subsidize much of the cost of the new companies' devel opment. as they seek to come up with T used in •.treating testicular and ovarian ca ncers . c said it's anticipated that both drugs will move into human trials late this year or early in 1989 . The animal testing is a prerequisite to the compounds being designated investigational new drugs by the U.S . Food and Drug Administration . Noting th at while his wo rk focusi ng o n the molecular design of drugs has "a ve r y idealistic goal." Anderson ca utio ned that " many an exciting drug has been la unched from the mou se and failed in man ." He explai ned : "From mouse to man is a big transi tion and it is difficult to predict based on mouse data which tumors in man are going to be affected by a new drug." If the respective pharmaceutical companies market th<e new drugs . royalt y payments will be made to the SUNY Research Foundation, with a portion goi ng to UB. The SUNY Research Foundation holds patents on the drugs in Anderson's name. Anderso n designed and sy nthesized them as one of rWo researchers in the country under contrac.i with the Nati~l Cancer Institute to develop new a1!'ti.cancer co mpounds by focusi ng on the molecular struct ure of existing drugs . H is most recent five-year contract with the institute totals nearl y Sl million . In addition . he and Ro bert A. Co burn. also professo r of medici nal H new products. Firms housed in the incubator will share a variety of facilities and services. including attract ive conference roo~s for mec:ting clients. use of office furmture and equipment , secretarial help, a FAX machine. a nd access to legal. libra ry, and small business assistance. They will also have access to UB 's computer system, including the hookup to the supercomputers at Cornell, Ackley said . UB's Telecommunications Office has already installed faster and more efficient data phone lines. Pipes will carry deionized water and instrument-grade compressed air, needed for many kinds of experiments, through the building. Because of the many technical requirements , a fulltime maintenance person will be: hired for the facility . ommented Ackley: .. This facility is set up to accommodate a research labora tory. A company that wished to isolate a group of employees and in ter- C chemistry at UB. are one of four resea rch groups in the U.S . working under co ntract with the National Ca ncer Institute on design of new drugs to treat AIDS . A nd erson described his computerassisted drug-design work as involving " molecular architec ture." H e added : "A molecule consists of individ ual atoms attached to one another. We change the way .the se act with UB researchers would ideal place here." He added : "We hope that after six months, we will have ha lf the anchor space filled and half of th e incubator space occupied . In one yea r, we hope to have all the anchors and 60 per cent of the incubating firms in place." TDC will recru it a permanent man· ager for the new incubator, the first time that a TDC staffer will be able to devote full time to such a project. UB's Main Street incubator is close to capacity and is limited in scope for co mpanies requiring large work areas. The TDC wtll relocate some of its Main Street offices to the new incubator. The Amherst incubato r was funded with S2.9 million from the New York State Urban Development Corp., the New York State Science and Technology Foundation, and the Western New York Economic Development Corp. The U B Foundation contributed $500,000, plus the land. Construction of the incubator is the first step in the development of the planned Manufacturing Technologies atoms are connected and add new ones. It 's like redesigning a house. a mousetrap or anythi ng else. .. We use data on existing chemical compou nd s and try to dissect them into those compo nents that make them active and those that acco unt for their toxicity. In the be:st case scenario, we improve on the active part of the mole· cule and reduce the toxic effects of the drug." Following molecular design of new co mpo und s. Anderson's laboratory syn· th esi1cs th e drugs tn sufficie nt quantt · ties to be used in prehminary animal testing. He noted that the design of the com· pounds is "polished" based on th e results of initial animal studies and more tests are co nducted as part of a cyclic process ultim ate ly resulting in a refined compound being selected fo r pre-clinical st udies. Usi ng info rm ation provided by Anderson. ot her laboratones under contract with the National Cancer Instit ute manufacture sufficie nt supplies of the new compo und s for advanced animal testing. While Anderso n's laboratory focuses on de sig n of new drugs and their chemical s:tnt hesis. animal and human trials arc cond ucted by researchers at the National Ca ncer Institute and else· where. " We have no animals in our labo ratory." he noted . Similarly, his and Coburn's work designing anti-AIDS drugs does not involve worki ng with the AIDS vi rus . 0 Research Complex in Baird Research Park . Under the plan, two additional 60,000-square-foot buildings will house the New York State Institute on Supercond uctivit y and the New York State Center for Hazardous Waste Manage· ment. T he H o use o f Representatives Commi ttee on Science, Space and Technology has approved a S2 million grant for the design work for the two additional buildings in the complex. The funds were included in a 1989 fed eral Department of Energy authorization bill. The legislation still must be approved by the full House and the Senate. The tot al estimated cos t of the complex is S20 million. Baird Research Park began 17 years ago when the Baird Foundation gave 17.3 ac res of land to the UB Foundation. In 1983 , the Baird Foundation contributed S 1.1 mill ion to establish an independent research center. The University will formally dedicate the new incu bator sometime during th e 1988-89 academic year. 0 �{r ' August 4, 1988 Summer No. 3 Budget picture Agreement restores funds but other issues remai n By ANN WH ITCHER he b udge t p1cture has bnghtened considerably. but B still is n 't out of ! he f1nancial woods .

Still It is impo nant. as well as irrepressi ble, to go through these iniriaJ gestures of departure, for they arc indi· ccs of one's hopes and desires. fears, and anxieties, at the moment of lea vetaking; and they teach us something about the self we're packing along with o ur clothing and possessions. These imaginings tell us abou t the self we have fixed for ourselves up to that point in our experience. As I look at the map in the dark. night of a reluctant traveler's slccp\cssne s ~ .

I saw fragments of my childhood memory stretched across the map from Burma to Singapore and the islands of the South Pacific. I realiud. with some embarassment, as I stepped into the . plane at Kennedy, headong for Japan (non-stop) and then, en route to Taiwan and Hong Kong and K.L.. that I was flying into a place of deep and protected reverie, a place of imagined : hildhood war heroics that had ellisted Jutside of time, impervious to change, just below consciousness for many decades. As tbe 747 banked west for my journey east, I knew that I wouldn't bave to watch tbe Economy Class double feature ("The End of the Line," a railroad movie, and "loner.; pace," a psycbological space fantasy) to amuse or, to put it more accurately, preoccupy myself. My own reels had been in the can for years. I just bad to Jean back, close my eyes, and watch them.

I have held these fantasies, along with a rag~tag set of other associations elustered around things Oriental, since the 1940s: my mother crying during the radio announcement of Pearl Harbor; my mother playing Mah Jong "with the girls:" having Sunday dinner at the House Of Chan on Broadway with more consistency and, perhaps. pleasure than any other event in my childhood; watchmg Charlie Chan movies. wondering if the:: restaurant was named after the sage detective. and being called "No. 2 son" by my fathe< with a mixture of pride and resentment. I treasured being called "Wings." the only true nickname I ever had, by my uncle Jack Arnold. in honor of alf those pilots, those "airmen" I idolized "A traveler is an old, if not closed, book who would like to bring out a new edition of himself. .. He learns through difference and contrast." I was worried about my father being drafted, though I sensed tbat it would be good discipline for him if be could serve and return, and I worried about my camp counselor.; in the summer.; of "43 and '44 wben every week or so someone else had to leave, and we bad a celebratory bonfire. I still see those flames with an admixture of awe and apprehension. These young men, hardly neatness. For these reasons, I gravitated towards the Chinese sections of Kuala Lumpur when I fir.;t arrived and felt relattvely safe eating Chinese food. I spent a good part of IQY first week in this part of the world trying to find the nearest Chinese merchants; and I was determined to have a small Buddha Jilte one my mother had always prized during my childhoOd. It's not bard ftoding a Chinese merchant in this country which is 40 per cent Chinese; and Buddhas are for sale everywhere. But I couldn't hide out in the Chinese world within Malaysia forever. One evening, an Indian gentleman, "Winny." whom I had met dll{ing a stroll one of my first evenings to my K.L. suburb (Petaling Jaya, P.J., "Happy Wood"). stopped by for a chat. He had something on his mind, and be felt he could talk with me freely. "These are dark days for my country." he said.

Humanists from around the world gathered to discuss and debate these and other issues at the UB-hosted Tenth Humanist World Congress, July 31-Aug. 4. Even Billy _Graham, crusading at ~alo's Pilot Field this week, couldn't quite steal the spotlight. Not with an all-star humanist guest list including feminist Betty Friedan, humorist Steve Allen, Canadian physician Henry Morgentaler, Nobel Laureate Herbert Hauptman , and prominent AIDS researcher Mathilde Krim. Not to mention the many other humanist scientists, philosophers, and delegates frorn the U . S., Soviet Union, Canada India and ot~er na~ions , plus an estimated I ,000 participants. Buildmg A World Community: Humanism in the . 21st Century" was the focus of the congress: sponsored by the International Humanist and Ethical Union ~IHEU). UB philosophy professor Paul Kurtz, co-president of IHEU and an internationally known humanist scholar, was an organizer of the event. The five-day congress, held at U B, the Buffalo Marriott Hotel, and the Sheraton Brock Hotel, included panel discussions, debates, workshops, and vignettes of famous humanists. In addition, the IHEU inducted candidates into the Humanist Hall of Fame and presented its 1988 International Humanist Prize to Andrei Sakharov (in absentia). Inside the Sheraton Brock Hotel Monday, Canadian physician Henry Morgentaler received the Distinguished Humanist Award for 1988 from his colleagues in the IHEU. Outside, protestors chanted "Stop the Killing" and carried aign5 that read "God Docs Not Make Rubbish, Give Life a Chance" and "Humanists Rewatd Baby Killers." The humanists honored Morgentaler for his 20-ycar battle for abonion rights for Canadian women, said IHEU Co-president Paul Kw1L. Morgentaler sees himself as a libctator of women, not as a baby k.iUer. Canadian humanist groups took a stand in 1967 in favor of women's access to safe medical abonions. Morgentaler found that women sought him out for abonions because of his involvement in humanist organizations. To protect women from "back-aUey, dangerous operations." Morgentaler provided the s<:rvioe. That led to training other physicians in safe abonion techmques and opening several clinics. He has been tried and acquitted four times for providing abonion servioes illegaUy, and be spent 10 months in jail when a higher coun ovenumed one of those acquittals. orgentaler achieved victory whenM the Canadian Supreme Coun struck down Canada's abortion law on ~an. 28 of th~ rear. The law required a woman to pelluon a three--member hospital board to end a pregnancy that threatened her physical or mental health. Other abonions were forbidden . The coun found the law to be a constitutional infringement, because it imposed arbitrary delar.s and inequalities on the availability of abonions, Morgentaler said. Although Canadian lawmakers are trying to draft a new law, there is no abonion law now. That's as it should be, Morgentalcr said. "Abonion should be a personal choioe between a woman and her doctor, baaed on personal conscience," be said.

Some physicians are not aware of new, safe abonion techniques and oppose the creation of clinics, Morgentalcr said .

"Feminists encou~i her to change the laws prohibittng tbe dispensing of birth control information through the slow legislative process, but she would have nothing of it." Instead, Sanger put out magazines and pamphlets, confronting the issue head on. She also chose to work for the underprivileged. "Trained as a nurse, Margaret decided to nurse only for the poor in New York City's Lower ~tSide." <::::::' 08 biology professor Clyae Herreid became Charles Darwin in a one-man show that delighted the audience of human ists.

God, religion. aod tbe Bible need not be rejected, according to humanists. But tbey must be redefined for tbe 21st century. "Religions of the Future" was the topic of a Monday session of tbe World Congrt5s. "Humanists should have no quarrel with religion, only with stifling belief structures," said Frank Miosi, professor of Egyptology at the University of Toronto and supervisor of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities . "We must stop attacking religions and start attacking intolerant, outdated belief systems." Miosi pointed to traditional monotheiStic belief in an all-good, allpowerful, omnipn:sent, and omniscient God who nonetheless does not pn:vent tragedies such as Hiroshima. If a human being had it in his powe r to stop famine or pain or natural d isasters and didnl, Miosi said, he would immediately be rejected by society. "Yet we have a God just like that one who does not measure up to our moral standards," Miosi said . "Monotheism d oes not need a de vil when it has such a God." · the future, according to Miosi, man will reject any system I ..nreligious man to a n wherein God holds ethica l standard which that very God is not also bound to follow. "Belief structures are the tools of expressions and of understand ing for religious faith, and, as tools, they can be discarded wben outdated or worn. without danscr to tbe 'faith.' " Miosi predicts betievers will become more tolerant of otbers' retigions and wm· also accept greater responsibilit y for tbe state of the world. "Humanistic value systems will become the norm for the well-lived religious life, and secular human ists will Scholars and believers alike must change their methods of approach to the Bible and other religious documents, several speakers argued. "The Bible is a collection of religious literature that is very much tbe product of real people," said Gerald Larue, chairman of tbe Center for Scientific Examination of Religion. "It is an outdated book - it does not conform to notions of freedom or justice. "It is a literary product that contains materials borrowed from otlier cultures," he added. The story of the flood, the lint book of Genesis, ahd Psalm 104, for example, all borrow materials from other culturt!. · "Humanists must claim the Bible as their book because it is a human document. The Bible is human because it reflects the work of human hands and minds. It is humanist when its writers rise above narrow parochialism and nationalism and focus on human rights and decency." T he Bible is a literary text that can be read with the same skills applied to any other literary text, said Randel Helms, professor of English at Arizon a State University. Helms focused on the Gospels, which he said the majority of serious Biblical scholars regard as mythical and legendary - at least to some extent. "Once the role of the Gospel critic ceased having to be that of protector and enforcer of tbe creed . once the Gospels could be recognized for wh at the y are. fictional narratives about Jesus, they could be seen as the legitimate objects or the interest or secular and humanistic students of literature ... J ohn Priest , profcs.so r of religion ar Florida State Universi ty, agreed that schola rs will increasingly employ new literary methods in interpreting the Bible." But what I think will be most important is the application or social scientific methods on Biblical and other documents," Priest said . "More attention will be paid to the total society,"' in recreating a social hi~ t ory of the Biblical community. In order to accept or rejcc1 someone's religious beliefs, we must first understand his world view. according to William Jones, director or the black studies program at Florida State University. ..Underneath every religious practice, there is a world view," Jones said . ... We need to re-focus our attention to world view, and sec if we can resolve the di/Terenccs (at that level)." Then, he added, the most effective method or criticism is internal. .., have to use your norms, your values, if I want to prove my point." Suppose one betieves homosexuality is wrong and homosexuals should not hold public office, Jones offered by way of example. Suppose, too, that one considers the Bible infaltible . .. On the same basis, we should raise questions about whetber RonaJd Reagan should be president. Jesus said nothing about homosexuality but he is very specific about divorce.

Our job would be easier if these recyclers kept their highly mixed pape r separate fro m the other paper i~ our recycling bins. Th is can be accomplished by putting this mixed paper in bags and th.en putting the bags in w the bins.. Another problem is the: increucd amount of garbage and other unacceptable materiaJ we are finding in the bins, for ex.amplc. envelopes and other paper with tape or non-water-soluble-glue: address labels; phone boob and catalOgs with glue bindings; carbon paper; food w~pen; food :. rubber bands, styrofoam a nd o ther plastics.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

SNYDERMAN L ong-term goals for IIQja: Nicholson include a better u'mlerstand- ing of cancer and helping people with irregular heartbeats. The short -term is more complex and involves the basic science research needed to understand the way a cell co mmunicates with its neighbors. For this research, the chemistry and molecular organization of ..gap junctio ns," Nicholson has been named a 1988 Pew Scholar by the Pew Charita- ble Trusts. An assistant professor of biology, Nicholson received his Ph.D. in cell biology from the California Institute of Technology. The prestigious Pew award , <·on- ferred on only junior faculty in the biomedical sciences, provides S50,000 for each of four years to its recipients. The goal of the award is "to support young investigators of outstanding promise in basic and clinical sciences relevant to the advancement of human health." The award is .. quite c.omprehcnsive, ... said Thomas George, dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. "I think it's quite an honor for him to be receiving the award. Any time one gets a fellowship or award of this type, it reflects on the University as a whole." "G which ap junctions are structures allow one cell to communicate with its neighbor, " said Nicholson. "There are a lot of things that allow cells to communicate with one another but what is unique about gap junctions is that they allow a direct communication." He explained: "Cells come into close apposition but not exact' contact. They stay separated by a small space. Hence the name gap junction, because there is a gap bet-n tbe cells. "These structures are found bet-n almost every cell of every organ in our bodies and they are also found in almost every multicellialar animal organism that has ever been studied," he said. Nicholson said that although the junctiom are very small, the channels in them are large enough to allow passage of molecules such as amino acids, nucleic acids, disaccharides aDd ions, among others. These are the "words" that one cell uses to communicate with anotber. Tbe gap junctions themselves are actually tunnels between the cells . These channels are lined by proteins and are fjlled with cytoplasm, the liquid inside the cell. They allow chemicals to pass back and forth between the cells. "I'm interested in examining the actual ,protein components of these gap junction structures," Nicholson stated. A I first , the junctions all seemed to those in healthy cells. However, the look and behave the same, Nicholgeneralization is that cancer cells don' son said. But upon closer inspection, he couple as well as normal cells. discovered "different proteim in the • Cancer is a disease that in many structures in the heart than are in the ways .resembles the rapid dividing of liver." Nicholson found that there were cells 10 an embryo, Nicholson noted. actually two different liver gap junction "The argument is this: if a cell is growproteins. ing, why does a liver, when it grows, Nicholson's job is to learn why there lcnow when to stop? It knows when to are different types of channels, what lltop because it contacts and couples causes the cbanncls to open and close, and what is passing back and forth between the cells. The channels can be either open, thereby letting messages pass through, or closed, in which case the cells are isolated from each other. One thing that the junctions studied so far have in common, said Nicholson, is that "all of these channels seem to close in conditions of acidic pH or calcium, both of which occur when the cells are very sick. ' "That malces sense, because if there are two cells connected to one another and one cell gets sick, you don' want • the other cell to stay connected, so a defense pbenomenon would be to close tbe channels down," Nicholson said. But the sif~>als to open or close a gap junction m healthy cells are P.robably based ·on "more subtle things; such as cbemical messengers regulating the . channel's functions. These might vary from one (organ) to another." he practical applications of gap junctions may not be realized for several decades, Nicholson emphasized . But it appears that they might have a role in two diseases: cancer and heart arrhythmia. "Gap junctions have been implicated in cancer. Typically, cancer cells couple less well than normal cells." Nicholson cxplaine<j that some types. of cancer cells have gap junctions that function as well and are as plentiful as T with its nc:iahbors and it hu a feel for its environment. "U you stop a cell from communicatirigrw~tb its neighbors, chances are that it's not going to know what its neighbors are doing and it might just continue to divide." That continued divisioo could be cancer. The exact relationship between gap junctions and cancer is still uncertain. Nicholson cautioned . "To be perfectly honest the chances of us answering that question in the next two or three decades are very minimal. • At this point, part of Nicholson's goal is to answer the question of whether or not tbe junctions play a role in cancer. If they are connected to cancer, Nicholson wants to determine if changing the junctions will help control the tumors. he other disease that miP>t have a T connection with· gap JUnctions, heart arrhythmia, is characterized by ·an irregular beartbeat. "If you put individual bean cells in a dish they will all beat but they will all beat differently. "If you push them together and form an aggregate, they will all synchronize. That is because they all couple to form gap junctions. The argumept is that a lot of arrhythmias may be caused by a poor blood supply to a region of the heart, in which case the cells get very sick... He continued : "If they get very sick, Bruce Nicholson examines experiment in progress. they are likely to uncouple from one another and the junctions lilcely to close. That might cause asynchrony of two regions of the heart. It is possible that some degree of solution or at least understanding of bow tbe uynchrony are oocurs in the first pJaoc mig.bc come about if we undersland what turns heart gap junctions on and off," be said. ·"Experiments on whole Qrganisms are a long way off," Nicholson said. " We are really doing basic science here. These are the long~term goals and the reason for doing the work, not that tomorrow I hope to solve arrhythmias or understand how cancer WDrks." icholson, who lives in Ambent N with his wife and two children, hails from Australia, where be did his undergraduate work at the University of Queensland. He came to the U.S. becauSe of what be felt were better research opponunitics in this country. Nicholson's resean:b is causing a lot of excitement, as evidenced by the Pew Award. For his gap junction research he is receiving additional funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. But the Pew is more flexible than the other gnuits. According to Nicholson, tbe Pew "allows (recipients) to concentrate on their research and essentially gives them a lot of creative freedom. You can basically chan~ the direction of your research." Thrs is in contrast to other grants, he said, which require the researcher to follow a specific line . of inquiry.. 0 Hauptman heads Superconductivity Institute board erbert A.

Minority students, he points out, an: not the sole responsibility of the minority faculty. Non-minority faculty and staff need to be made aware of the needs of minority students and faculty to help ease the load minority faculty traditionally carry. But some minority professors don\ want to delegate · the impact they mi$ht have imparting a sense of ethn1c pnde and identity in minority students. That can only be done by a minority scholar who shares the same perspective and experience, said Henry L. Taylor Jr., director of the Un iversi ty's Applied Public Affairs Program. Student-faculty rapport and trust, developed through mentorship , are essential for produei.Dg highly credentialed minority araduate st udents . "Non-minority faculty don't give the same kiDd of consideration to minority students as they do to other students because minonty students need the ki.Dd of consideration that is beyond the call cif duty, w said Taylor. What, then, is the responsibilit y minority faculty have to minority students? The one Taylor advocates is a far cry from what be perceives as the benign n~glect, hostility and tokenism paid t<' minority students at schools across the country. "Students know you love them when you demand excellence from them, ft be claims, fully a wan: of the time and dedication involved iD nurturing that distinction.

Thorpe . . The task of Thorpe's office is to help implement curricular reforms, F1eron said. A a pan of that task . Fleron is coordinatin g the University's new world civilization course. Beginning in the fall semester. the University will offer six sections of World Civilization I, which covers world . history through 1500 A.D. The sister course. World Civilization II . wilt be offered in the spri ng of 1989. The majority of seats in the courses will be reserved fo r freshmen . lf ~ program ii successful, the senio r iiembers of the college will consider making it part of a future mandatory core curriculum. Fleron is not new to the Und ergraduate College. A senior member of the college. he has served on its curriculum and governance committees. He also taught a freshman seminar last fall. Aeron views the development of the new college as an imponant and challenging task for the UB [acuity. .. The ge neral education program has been partially successful in enabling students to familiarize themselves with various disciplines," he said . .. But it is fragmented . The program lacks a coherent approach to undergraduate education." He continued: .. In considering curricular reforms. we~n: tryin,g to provide coherence in areas of generaJ educatjon as well as major areas. It '~ difficult to do that in a way that is meaningful to students. . .. Students have a tendency to view general education requirements as a nuisance, as something to get out of the way. But there is much more to education than just a major area." leron is not alone in th~t belief. Recent studies, including the Carnegie Commission repon, provide support for the efforts of the Univewty facult y to improve undergraduate educatiOn. "If I didn' think the college had suppon from the faculty, staff, administration, and students I wouldn't spe nd F my time a nd energy on it," he said. In fact, the facult y has been involved in the planning of the college si nce its inception. Provost Greiner and President Sample have been supponive of the college. but the impetus and the ideas for the new program bave come from the fac ult y. That's a good sign. · said Fieron. Another healthy sign is the d iscus· sio n and exchange of views on wltat ' Fr~ Fleron should be included in the new undergraduate curricuJum. At a universi ty with nearly 1400 faculty, there are bound to be differences of opinion. This is part of the exchange of. ideas which the Uruversity promotes, be said . Much of the planrung for the college is done by the SO senior members, who have taken the leading role in developing changes in the curriculum. Their work is reviewed by the facul t¥, staff, and student members of the college's general assembly. Along with curriculum development, the college is looking at advisement, evaluation, and other . aspects of the undergraduate experience here. Evaluation, like the other components of curricular reform , will take some time to complete. 0 Letters EDITOR: I wish to correct a statement attributed to me in the 9 June issue of the R~porler in a.a arti· cle on the May 17 mectin& of the faculty senate.

For hi s prowess in the classroom . He rreid has been named a Distin- guished Teaching Professor by the SUNY Trustees. The award recognizes "extraordinary achievements in teach - ing, as percetved by st uden ts, faculty , and ad m i ni stration campus ... at the h o me · For his pedagogical repertoire, He rreid, a magici a n and the so n of a vaudeville pianist, favors careful organiution, props, personal anecdotes, and good body language. The bearded biologist also draws on his own .. Ten • Commandments of Good Teaching. " F or starters, Herreid believes in a va r ia ti o n on the golden rule : ..Teach unt o others as you would have them teach unto you ... He explains: .. A professor should ask himself, would I understa nd this? If the answer is no, you'd better do something. There are many times that teachers do things that are unfair to students. .. For instance, there are many faculty who return papers by dumping them outside their office. But if they just spent a moment, and thought about how many people would fmd that offensive, I don l think they would do it that way." Another teac~ing commandment is "Just as the virtuoso pianist practices daily, so must the veteran teacher hone his classro.om skills." to be orpnized &DC! prep~ . "If you do that, chancea are that you wiU have dooe the sinaJe . moat important thing for a atudcnL EVCD if you have delivered it in a borin& fuhion, you have &iVCD the student aomethin& for God'& sake." Just u .the virtuoso p~ ,Practices daily, 10 JOust the ex~ _teacher hooe hiJ clauroom lkilla. Heaeid pra.:tices his lectures regularly. "I practice either out loud or just under my breath.. The pr.ctice lecture, Heneid states, is a dreu rebeanal for the real thing. "If I am aoiog to be &ivinl an hour tee- Distinguished teacher Prowess in the classroom earns Herreid SUNY's top recognition tun: . I give 1t an hour practice. I go through it as closely as I can to tbe way I'm going to present it. .. J may ha ve a lecture that J worked ou t ten years earlier and have modified over the years. So I presumably have a pretty good grasp of it. But I still practice the delivery." In this way, Hem:id explains, he can be confident that be's .. not going to be caught ~ntence , sayi ng so m et·hing th'u.:s-not quit e right." He adds: "My approach is to try to take my worst lecture and work. on it. I can turn that lecture around and make it my very best." For Herreid, delivery is no minor concern, but a vital part of the teacher's an . The droning voice is out, and the order of one's remarks must be carefuUy considered. .. If you come in with the wrong word , you may introduce complexities that are often not appropriate. On the other band, if you take the right steps, these won l seem to be complexities at all, but logical steps leading toward underslallding." surprisingly, Hem:id is "totally N otopposed to" the teacbinl! philosophy that says "winging it" ohy. IS "You can l just take your lecture notes that you've written a year ago and walk in and expect to give that lecture weU. "Spontaneity is not something that you rule out by being prep~. You can cenainly be spontaneous if a new idea occurs to you in class. But, in general, I think it's absolute lazioeas or something bas captured that teacb~r's time." Then there's the Hem:id commaodment about avoiding the somnolent. "Student& wi)l for&ive you for almost everything, except being borin&-" He adch: "You must convey enthusiaSm. You eaol be bored with your ·aubject matter or it comes through immediately. The student will dislike not only the material, but dislik:e you for it. Even thou&h such eothuaium may not oec:euarily mak:e you a great tcacb~r, at leut you will not have turned students off on the subject. They wiU enjoy the experience." . · ~ has a ready bag of H em:id techniques to keep things snappy. These include usi ng personal experience whenever appropriate. MStudents don't want to see you as some kind of a utomaton. They want to see you as a human being. ' They want to see if you have kids or not." Such an approach, says Hem:id , must exclude the selfindulgent or using the classroom as therapy. ... Also, you have to avoid reading written material . You are often cboos~ ing formal language when we donl speak that way. Some people actually read their notes, and it sounds like they're reading their notes. And that is dreadful. I work very hard to, make my lectures sound hke onc-ta-:bne conversation. " In general, Hem:id likes to bring some theatre. into the classroom. "The larger the group, the more theatre that is possible," he states. " When you're a tiny little figure before hundreds of people, you have to make your movements broider." Another Hem:id commandment is "thou shall not pace." He comments: " You should move with plllpOie &DC! grace. Basically, it's about body language - what places in the room one should move to, what ~lures one ought to consider." Herretd's own lifelong involvement with sleight of h&DCI has helped him learn "how to control an audience." Hem:id offers another dictum: "Thou shall use example, demonstration, &DC! analogy." He ex.plains: "You should use tb~ . after you 'lie given the general pnnctple. Sometimes you need all three to make a point. "The principle is often framed in general, vague terminology. Often the most bu.am: example - the ooe that grabs you - is the best. Something that makes your stomach reteb or you think: IS absurd. Thoac are the thtngs you ~member .

That is not true of everyone, however . Many need help in the classroom . . Enter the Office of Teaching Effecti ve ness. Located 10 the Ellicott Complex. it is intended ""to create a balance between teaching and research at the University, .. said Acting Director Norman Solkoff, a psycbolog;y professor in the Departm.ent of Psychtatry. Solkoff, Assoc1ate D1rector Norma Henderson, and two grad uate assistants staff the office . .. President Sam ple wants us to be amo ng th e top ten univers ities in the count ry. I applaud that, but it means more than jusr geuing gran ts success- fu ll y, " Solkoff remarked . However, the UB professor doesn) want to pit teach-' mg aga~ n st research . .. The Universi ty is big enough and sec ure eno ugh th at we can keep both the good teachers who aren't effective researchers a nd the good researchers wh o can't teach . But o ne activit y docs not make a profess or. We can start working on ...a few improvements in the teaching," he feels. Less time spe nt preparing fo r classes means more time for research . That time is especially valuab le to non- te nured faculty who have to "publish or perish," Solkoff said . Teachmg some· times takes a back seat. E stablished in 1985, the office produces a Aewsleuer and maintains a library of instructional mate· rials. In addition, it offers faculty seminars, workshops, and grants, all designed to enhance professorial effectiveness in class. For new faculty, there is a four-day faculty development seminar each August. The program includes teKhing workshops and an orientation to the University. For tenured faculty, the office conducts seminars on such topia as eum-writins and teaching meth<>!ls. Additionally, the office is writing a handbook for teaching assistants, Solkoff said. Each .fall, the office co-sponsors a teaching conference with the TeKbing Quality Commiltee of the Faculty Senate. This fall 's topic wiU be gender discrimination in the classroom. Next spring, the office wiU sponsor a SUNYwide conference on teaching issues. . The office also administers the Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellows Pro · gram. Through it, untenured facully members are awarded release time and up to $8,000 to work on a project that will improve their teaching. Faculty projects have included new courses in art, classics, and hazardous waste man· agement, as well as the redt:Sign of a sociology course. Tenured faculty may apply for course development mini-grants, nine of;. whicb were awarded in 1987~8 . The New York StatefUUP Quality of Working Life CoDliDlflee for Professional Development funds the proJr&lll. Faculty may also arrange to have the Educational Communications Center videotape tbeir lectures: Solkoff will review the tapes and belp instructors assess their strengths and weaknesses. He will observe classes of those who , don\ wish to be videotaped. "A fKulty member bas to request tbe service," Solkoff said. "A chauperson can\ have me observe someone and ·report back on his teaching. He can tions with instructors are confidential. The observations are for improve ment . not for evaluation. he stressed. Norman Solkoff heads Office of Teaching Effectiveness. T the ir services for five years in a row. suggest that the instructor come to us his yea r the office took part in the Teacher-Course Evaluation Project (TCEP), which is testing a new teacher and course evaluation form . Developed at Northeastern University, the form differs from the typical course evaluation in that it offers more useful results, Solkoff said . Typical course evaluations provide instructors only with numerical summaries of tbeir effectiveness. The TCEP form matcbes these summaries with specific instructional materials. This way, professors know where to find belp so they can make improvements based on the evaluation. UB's administration bas given fund· ing and encouragement, but the real key to the office's effectiveness is facult y involvement , Solkoff said . Seminars and workshops are all run by faculty, and no one has refused Sol· koiT's requests for help in these areas. for help, though. • SolkoiT's consulta· response was initially lukewarm, the office now receives up to 7S calls.a day from thooe interested in its resoun:a. "It would be hard to determine if and how tbe office has changed the way people teach," Solkoff said. "But if people are more sensitized to effective teaching, then we have performed an Some professors have even volunteered imponant service... "This is a faculty activity for faculty ," Solkoff remarked. "We don) want an 'educational bureaucracy' with a professional staff runn ing the pro· gram," he said. "We've done a lot since establishing the office," Solkoff assessed. But there is more to do. He would like to see the office become more integrated with the Undergraduate College. , ecause of the office , Solkoff 8morebelieves people now talk and think about teKbing.

Hina Jilani. women . arnett Rubin o f Yale Universi ty defined human rights as claims that individuals make against the state . This definition. said Rubin . sets up two categories for discussion: the individual and the state. The definition poses a problem, as the question of group rights is excluded from discussion . The problem. he continued . is that individuals are. by and large. subsu med in to larger ethnic and cultural groups. Ethnic boundaries do not necessarily match up with stat e or nationa l bou nd aries. This forces a number of different ethn ic groups to exist under one government, something ma ny are not willing to do . Rubin said . D.J . Ravindran of the Internatio nal Comm ission of Jurists explained the historical roo ts of the problem in South and Southeast Asia. When Britam de· co lo ni alized A~ ia. se parate government s and nations were fonncd . During th1 s nation-building pr oces~. eme rging gove rnments made no provision fo r the vas t numbe r of differen t ethnic and cu ltural groups living " 'llh1n their bou ndaries. When violations of group righ ts occ ur with in n a tions . intcrnallonal age ncies often define them as vio latio ns of ind ividuals" rights. As such. the agencies d o not intervene to stop the violatio ns. Ravindran said . B Panelists pointed to violent clashes in Sri Lanka, India. Malaysia. and other nations as evidence of th e mistake inherent in defining conflict in terms of individuals rather than groups. ""If this problem had been addressed eilrlier, there could be dialogue now instead of group clashes," Ravind ran said .

Paktstani cou rts have validated various regimes under a doctrine of necessity, legitimizing limita ti ons of human rights and the power of the courts as well as weakening the rule of law in Pakistan. The problem. as Jilani identified it. is that courts in various countries do not recognize international human rights acco rd s .

This inaction contribu tes to the current s tatu s quo o f relief efforts. said Forsythe. ··A dialect ic exis ts between nongovern ment relief o rganizatio ns and th e attitudes of the ruling elite" of va ri o u~ nations. he said . Age ncies a rc caught in a bind because the y have no international body to su pport them . They can help o nl y when and where individual gove rnments allow them to work . What is ultimately neede d . the panelists seemed to agree. is a binding anternational ag reement on human right s. They expressed little hope for suc h a cha rter in the near future, however. "Ultimately. no one is going to establish a society in which no human ·ghts arc ever violated ." -said Rubin. ... Permanent institutions of resistance to rights violations must be established." A step in that direction would be coo peration among human rights organizations and the development of a compre hensive. holistic philosophy to bind them togethe r, said Muzaffar . Together. organizations and na .i ons could develop a charter of duties of individ uals and na tions: One of these, the "Declaration of the Basic Duties of ASEAN Peoples and Governments." has been ado pted by the Regional Couocil o n Human Rights in Asia. The next step is to get gove rnments to ratify the declaration . That may not happen for so me time. said Muzaffar. He expressed hope for th e future . though. "As wiih music. in society there is a dominant melody and a subordinate melod y. We (rights activists) represent the subo rd inate melody in our time," Muzaffa.r said. ""And what wc"ve 0 accomplis hed is quite rema rkable ." Med School requires its residents to learn .CPR T be UB medical sc hool is requiring all of its residents to learn advanced cardiac life support, a requirement that 's virtually unheard of elsewhere in the country. said Glenda Donoghue. M .D .. director of continuing medical cduca· tion and professional development at UB. U B"s medical school bas offered advanced cardiac life support before. but this is the first time it will be req uired of all resident s in all progrants. Advanced cardiac life support goes beyond CPR and uses methods such as intubation. IVs, and medications to keep the body functioning for a prolonged period after heart failure . Some doctors don't even know how to do CPR. Donoghue noted . Some medical schools don\ teach it. "lt"s our perception. and the Statc"s. that residents should know not only basic. but advanced cardiac life support." she said . "No matter what your specialty is. you should be prepared." The State may soon require all schools to offer advanced training. she added. Cardiac life support was just one of the topics covered in the medical sc hool's new orientation program for residents held June 20·25 and June 25· 30. It was offered through the graduate medical education program , which operates under the auspices of the Graduate Medical-Dental Education Consortium. The program included: • Creating a cohesiveness among the residents. who work in several different hospitals. "Thcy"rc often confused about their relationship to the University," Donoghue explained. "They know intellectually they're in a University-related program, b11t they hardly ever sec anything of the University." The program also aims to help the residents get to know each other, which data suggests wiU help them work in teams from day one. she explained. • Teaching them to be teachers. In the past, residents went from being students to beinl! teachers overnight without any traimng. Now thcy11 get intensive training. • Making sure the residents arc aware of the regulatory climate in New York State. The Health Department regulations and credcntialing requirements may be much more stringent than in other states. sbe noted. o �July 7, 1988 Summer No. 2 Vl ·- [S ·e~Om· .

The o ther two counselors-are themselves alumni of the Summer Program and of o ur own department. Matt Dimakos came to the high school program seve n years ago and is a former varsi ty base ball player here - he coordinates all s umm er a thletic activi ties.

JM: What about the students? GOG: T he studen ts a lso look to be as talent ed as any we've had . a nd you will remember so me of the very best ones from earlier years. About 500 showed work in the 12 regio nal co mpetitions across the State. and the final 60 are the very best of that group . We had very few women students in the earlier year.;. but now they are a bout 35 per ce nt , which is a little better than the. average in college and un iversity med ia programs; that will co ntinue to mcrease. The women generally come in photography and video and now in d igital arts.

JM: What Is the sliuation In high school programs?

You remember that m y' colleagues at New York Uni versity, th e Annenberg School of Co mmunication at the University of Pennsylva nia, and elsewhere th o ught th at m y interest in high sc hool pedagogy was a n aberration of an otherwise " intell ige nt" sc ho lar. For the past three years. I have served on the State Educatio n Co mmissione r 's Advisory Committee on the An s. All 50 s tates have revised the arts curricula and I have studied how they refocused the art s. One of m y complaints is th at the heralded books on the high schools, Ernest Boyer's. John Goodlad's. Theod o re Sizer's, and most others are not very perceptive about the possibilities of the arts in the schools. and Morti mer Adler's Paidtia Proposal is worst of all. I think that the best books to read are Sara Lawrence Lightfoot's Th• Good High School: Portraits of Character and Culturt and Patrick Welsh's Talts Out of School. Wels h grew up just a few miles from Buffalo and is a graduate of Canisius. He reported on T .C . Williams School in Alexandria. Virginia, for Tht Washington Post.

SNYDERMAN etween 700 and 800 people from 25 countries are expected to auend the Tenth Hum a nist World Co n g re ss, Jul y 3 IAugust 4. Co nference sessio ns will take place at th e Amherst Campus a nd the nearby Marriou Hotel. Among those expected to auend are comedian Steve Alien, magician.James "The Amazing" Rand i, poet Robert Creeley, and Nobel Laureate Herbert Hauptman. UB P~ilosopby Professor Paul Kurtz is co-president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU ), sponsor of the event. Kurtz said the group formerl y met every four years but now meets biennially. Buffalo is the first U.S . cit y to host t be IHEU since 1970 when the organization met at MIT. This year's theme is " Building A World Community: Humanism In the Twenty-Fint Century." This conference will deal with "trying to build {'lanetary ethics," said Kurtz, wbo is cbatring this year's convention. "We comider the main ethical ve.Jue to be tbe preservation and realizat ion B of human good on the planet. The planet is d ivided into different nation sta tes, religions , ideologies, and econo mic blocks. We thinit. someone has to take a larger view of tbe world co mmunity," he said. " Human is m focuses upon the use of science and reason to understand the unive rse and so lve humanity 's problems. The m ain points of humanism are reason , science, a good life in the here and now, and a reject ion of dogmatism in theistic and ideological positions." .T be U niverst iy will be well represented in the conference. Nine faculty members . representing six departments will chair sessions or present ·papers. Clyde Herreid, professor of biology, will offer bis Charles Darwin impersonation that he performs for his evolutionary biology class. The routine , which some of Herreid 's students have called "the high-point of the class," involves playing Darwin in a one·man s how. Herreid said humanism is consistent with Darwin's views. "The humanist position is concerned with evaluating ideas in terms of evidence." This is pre- ciseiy what Darwin did when be broke with religious tradition, Herreid stated. "The first point I will be malting is that progress in scienc::c is not an issue of how we feel. Just because we donl like an idea does not mean that we can dismiss it. "Evol ution was a llacked becau se people didn l like tbe idea of being related to monkeys. Science must be judged by evidence and not by emotions," Herreid added . Herreid's · presentation is part of the Humanist Hall of Fame Ceremony on July 31. According to Kurtz, the hall of fame exists to "recall the roles of great humanists of history." Also on July ' 31 , Professor of Biophysical Sciences and Nobel Laureate Herbert Hauptman will be inducted into the Academy of Humanism. He will join tbe company of Isaac Asi mov , Francis Crick, Stephen Jay Gould , Carl Sagan, and Andre1 Sakharov. Another UB faculty member who will speak at tbe humanist convention is John Corcoran, professor of philosophy. H e will address the "Ethtcs of tbe Future" session on August I with a speech entitled "lnsepatabiiity of Logic and Eth ics." Corcoran said many people think ..there is some sort of opposition between logic and ethics. LoJic is thought to be cool and dispassionate while ethics is warm and compassionate. "That doesnl mean there is necessarily o pposition. My view is that in order to be compassionate, there must be logic. Logic serves compassion." C orcoran intends to argue that logic and ethics, instea d of being mutually exclusive, are actually inseparable. "The whole process o f being lo~ical involves following eth ical pnncipies.: Bonnie Bullough, dean of the Sebool of Nursing, will chair a session on " Sex and Gender in the 21st Century." She said her j ob is to "keep the session flowing and the conversation interesting." IHEU, umbrella organization with so me 65 affiliates, bas three and a half million members from 22 countries, Kurtz said .

Survival depends on building a subscri ption base. which the Daybreak Slaff is doing by mailing each new . issue to nearly 100,000 people from various lists. 0 f the hundreds of magazines that are launched every year, only a dozen or so survive. That's a scary prospect, said Mohawk. Daybr~alc is likely to survive because it's unique. It identifies an audience to which no one else is specifically speaking, he said. Because the magazine is published quarterly, though, the numbec of topics it can address is limited . The next step is to increase the frequency of publication. The staff hopes eventually to see Daybreak as a monthly. John Mohawk Daybr.ak is printed in C harlottesville, Virginia, where there is design space and a press. The prodoction staff, based mainly al UB, is linked to Virginia by a computer network. Along with Lyons and Mohawk, art director Richard Hill is a lecturer in Nativ< American Studies. Senior wrin:r Jost Barreiro is a graduate st udent in the department. "We've asked the University to be more subSiantially involved, and it would like lo be," said Mohawk. "Aru and Letters has been supportive of our fund·raising efforts. But the special type of production space thai a magazine needs isn' available here. "Magazine editors aod publishers an: generally idealistic people," be said. "We fall into that category. We're trying to present authentic Indian thought to the general public without exploiting or offending Indians, to present straight Indian cullure with dignity. If we keep working at it, we can make a difference... 0 75 area firms join in Libraries' (b-orrowing plan S eventy-five Western New Yor k companies are borrowing material from UB libraries as part of the University's Corporate Borrowers Program. The program, which has been in exis tence for nearly three years, is geared tO)IIard small companies that do not have in-bouse libraries or access to in ter-library networks such as the Western New York Library Resource Co uncil or the Library Access Program, KCOn' . , - to Stephen Roberts , ass ociate di. ector of University Libraries. Tbe idea is to foster better relations between the University and community, Roberts says. Corporate borrowers have access to anything that circulates in moSI libraries on campus, although the Undergraduate Library is exempt from the program, be says. Most participants usc the Lockwood, Science and Engineering, Health Sciences, and Law libraries to obtain research materials that arc not available through othe r local sources, he says. Approximately 600 people at 75 companies have eards thai allow them to come to campus and borrow up to I 0 items a month. There is no charge for these "in-person" borrowing privileges, in keeping with the "open-<loor stance of the (University) administra- tion," Roberts says. The borrowers are mostly from s mall scie nce- based companies . although .. quite a few" law firms also panicipate. he notes. Although large companies are not restricted from participating in the program, it is set up specifically for small companies that do not have their own libraries, be stressed. Victor Alter. a senior engineer at Comptek Research, Inc., says the Corporate Borrowers Program is a valuable service to his company. "The U B library is one of the largest in the area; with technical books there is no comparison," Alter says. "The program is extremely helpful to anybody who needs access to technical books." In addition to Comptek, some frequent users of the program are Andco Environmental Processes, Inc.; Frontier Technical Associates, Inc. ; and the law offices of Eugene C. Tenney. The University i.s considering expanding the program to provide delivery of information through facsimile machines. photocopies. and electronic ma.il , Roberts indicates. Any such system would be fee-based, with the money earned being used to.pay for the system and to provide extra jobs for students, he says. D �July 7, 1988 Summer No. 2 " .

" Despite the flaws, Ellis believes that national political conventio ns do allow some po pular say in the only election in which all Americans may participate. ..

By the 1820s. the country was changmg. The era of Jac ksonian democracy was dawning. and there was widespread mterc:st in gove rnme ntal po licy as the coun try faced economic hard times begmning around \ 824. - Also. there wa.'i a feeling that the congressio nal ca ucuses were eJi tisr. Why shouJd a gro up of co ngressmen decide who the nominees o ught to be?" burg. As an aside, Ellis reports that "90 per cent of the early conventions aJmost up to the Civil War were held in Baltimore." In 1836, the Democrats held another convention and nominated Ma.nin Van ..Buren, a co nsummate poHtician who was known as .. the little magician ... The_ ust how weak the caucus became is evident in the case of William H. JCrawfo rd of Georgia , who was a U.S. senator, min ister to France, and Whigs had no single candidate and so did not hold a convention. " Instead , they ran . three regional candidates ." Van Buren was the victor. But by 1840, secn~­ tary of war. "In 18 16. there was a bitter caucus struggle in which the Republican (the fi rst name used by Thomas Jefferson's party) caucus dec1ded by II vo te s t o give the nom ina tion to Monroe. the pattern for all future conventions ~. had been established . " National political conventions were held by both major parties." m s. "Crawford acce pted the decision of the caucus. He did n' go out and try to ~ run for the presidency. He ass umed he E importance of the caucuses. There were other people running, usually nominated by state legislatures and other groups. By far the most important of these was Andrew Jackson." J ackson was elected president in I828, after losing o ut to John Quincy Adams in 1824. lli s a dded : "These co nventions were generally conceived as a democratic advance.

" Throughout American history, said Ellis, there has been criticism of the political wheeling and dealing that goes on at the conventions. ...On the other hand, if you dido' ha ve this going on, who would broker between the different interests? When you go to a national convention today, what shows up is an incredible variety of people. I also think that if you didn' have the conventions, what you would probably lind is that the two-party system would begin to- disintegrate." The primaries were created to make conventions more democrat ic. but they do not provide ,for the writing of a platform and may prevent the emergence of a consensus candidate, Ellis concluded.

When he first came to U B, he taught a course in the history of sociological think.ing. Every day the students would come in and busily take notes from one end of the class to another , a nd never ask~d Yeracaris a single question. One day he asked a student how he liked the class. The· student, who happened to be Cantor's son , told him bluntly that he was teaching way above Yeracaris' research over the last four research in a smal l town in Greece whose economy base had changed from tobacco cultivation to strawberry culti ~ vation. He analyzed labor turnover in hospitals. And he studied life span in city versus suburb, finding that rich. white , suburban women are apt to li ve longest.

" My question is, how many of these developments have beco me counterpro- ductive, what kinds of major human tolls have been the result of these kinds of ideological develo pments? We have retirement years? As a result of majo r o perat ions in both eyes, Yeracari s hasn' played seriously since the early 70s. But, on the urging of his colleagues, he plans to take up the bow again. It's not likely the Sociology Department will forget Yeracaris. But even more importa nt, perhaps, is the impact he has had on 40 years worth of students. ..

Yeracari s with an embar- rassed laugh, after doing just that for more than an hour. Now 70 and retiring from the Sociology Department after nearly 40 years, Yeracaris has plenty to talk about. U:aning forward in his chair, he lowers his voice to recreate a conversation be bad last year. Moments later, his eyes burn with the memory of His role in the an event now half a century his hands as active as his WWII Greek old, words in its retelling.

His activities as a leader of the underground movement landed him in prison. where for two · months he was tortured and held in complete isolation. H e was th en moved to a concen- tr atio n camp ou tside Athens. Somehow Yeracaris managed to get permission to bring in a vio lin. Since laking up the instrument at age 12, he had been regarded as a prodigy, he said : by his mid-teens. he was performing with the Natio nal Orchestra in Athe ns. Playing the violin fo r his fellow political prisoners provided some relief from the co ncentrati on cam p routin e. "One evening I was playing the 'Ave Maria' by Schu bert ," Yeracaris reme m- bers . .. All of a sudden the door opens and the lieutenant in charge of the ca mp co mes in and orders every body o ut. " 'You stay here , · he said to me . And he locks the door. ' Yo u play tha t for me again .· "So I played . All of a sudde n this man, an o ld er man in his 40s. starts crying like a baby . .. 'Thank you very much,' he said. 'You've brought memories of my childhood and my upbringing in Austria. I have. not been 10 my hometown sinct before the war.' " The next morning the lieutenant told Yeracaris he would . be released on a certain day. Prisoners were often told that, then taken somewhere and shot, Yeracaris said , but the lieutenant assured him he need not worry. And when that day arrived, be was n:leased. usomeone somewhere had done something with my papers," Yeracaris said. MThat's all I ever knew." fter receiving a bachelor's degree and practicing law for two years, Yeracaris moved to the U.S. to study criminal law at the University of Chicago. Required to take courses in sociology, be became so involved with the new field that he abandoned criminology. He earned both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology from the University of Chicago. Then: he also met his wife, a doctoral student in psychology. Once again, the violin figured in his fate . In a job interview at UB in 1949 he discovered that Nathaniel Cantor: then-<:haJrman of the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. was also A a violinist.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"Comparing application activity in these categories in 1988 to last year, applications have increased 8.9 per cent , acceptances are up 65.5 per cent. and enrollments are expected to increase I00 per cent." Durkin said the increases would not have been possible without the recent action taken by UB's enrollment management committee. Its members are Assistant Provost Myron Thompson, Vice Provost John Thorpe, and Vice Provost Robert L. Palmer. u By JOE MARREN B is becoming the first choice for many minority students looking for a college. "I've heard it said that we've now become a. mecca for minority students because of the support systems that we have here," said Robert L. Palmer, Ph.D., vice provost for student affairs. Palmer said there is a 100 per cent increase in freshman minority student enrollment without benefit of special programs; a stable percentage· rate of minority undergraduate enrollment despite declining overall enrollment; and an increase in special programs graduates. There have also been increases in m·inority graduate enrollment and a doubling of minority students earning bachelor's degrees in the last decade. oSee-..ylfooh,page2 ' .-; ·•. ~ �June 9, 19aa Summer No. 1 FIRST CHOICE The figures. from the Office of Institutional Srudies. show a trend among local and regio nal minority students. That trend is si mply to make UB th e first choice when picking a coll ege, so mething that was n't true even less than a decade ago. ''Our sense was U 8 was an afterthought ," said Provost William R. G reiner . ..The SUNY sys tem has a pr o blem attractin~ minorit y stud ents. But one of the thmgs we: felt was that th is institution hadn't seemed as attractive to ce nain minorit y student s." So o ne of the remedies was to aggressively recruit those who. in the past, went elsewhere . The last seven ye ars it seems to have worked . For instance, preliminary figures from the Ofricc of Institutional Stu dies s how total undergraduate enrollment has been declining the last seven years. from 19 .304 in 1981-82 to 18.7 14 in '87-88 . "Yet minority undergraduate en rollment during the sa me period remained constant at slightl y mo re than seven per cent , up from 1.396 in '8 1-8 2 to 1,440 in '84-85 and bac k to 1.396 in '87-88. Ho wever. the real goal is not so much to ge t into college but to graduate. U 8 gra nted 77 bachelor's degrees. or 2.9 per ce nt of the 2,677 granted, to min o rity students in 78-79. In '86-87 th e number just about doubled to ) 40 degrees granted. o r 4.8 per ce nt of 2.868 . Bo th minorit y and total graduate en ro llme nt has also been increasing during the sa me period .

Durkin said. the e nr o ll me nt manag eme n t commi tt ee recommended that minori ty applicants with a ··T sco re"' of betwee n 40 a nd 50 be offered admission to the Uni ve rsi ty. This is the range in which students may curre ntly a~ply th rough the Special Talent Admassions Program. In regular adm issions, a T-score of SO is now requ ired . The T-score reflects UB's quantitative meas ures for determining re gu la r ad mission. Eq ual , weight is give n to ra nk in class, SAT or ACT sco re, and high school average. Durkin said UB developed a mino rity recruitment plan in 1984, by way of directive. The senate had caJled for effons to increase enro llment of .. regularly .ad milled . but underrep~ted mmonues over a four-year penod:"' App lications from minority students i nc reased in th e 1985 a nd 1986 admissio ns cycles, Durkin said . .. But reliance on purely quantitative admissio ns criteri a a nd the increasi ng selectivity of the Universit y caused the number of u nderrepre sen t ed minorit y stude nt s offe red acceptance, to decline ... As a result. said Durkin, there were indications that " we were den ying admission to minority applicants who were being offered admassion at peer institutions ... In 1987, U B added an "affirmative actio n component" to the Special Talent Admissions Program . T his ad d iti on was recomme nd ed by the vice provost for special program s a nd approved by the enrollment management co mm ittee . Afte r thi s ac tion , the number of applicants in the allowa ble increased slightly. However. Durkin said , minority enro llment remained a conce rn. By April 1987 , U B had appointed a coordi nato r of minority admissions and put in place a revised recru itment plan for minorities. The plan called for recruit ing minorities in areas .. where we had no t prev iously recruited . F o r instance , we t ried to go after those minority students who were in su bu rban dis tricts as well as those living in urban areas."

C Undergrad College, Senate reach compromise on bylaws By CONN IE OSWALD STOFKO T he Undergraduate College will be able to make amendments to its bylaws without the approval of the faculty se nate , but that right won' be invoked for the next three years. That's-the solution to a l<nolly rroblem concerning the bylaws o the Undergraduate College and the powers of the faculty senate. The members of tbe Undergraduate College wanted to be able to change their bylaws without getting an okay from the faculty senate. But many senate members objected, saying tbat it could erode the power of the senate, particularly io the area of curriculum. The groups reached a standoff. At its May 17 meeting, the faculty senate conceded the point so that the bylaws wouldn' be held up. However, John Boot, chairman of the "!'nate,' noted ·that the·senate's opinion should remain important. ... "This is the senior body, th is is the elected bod y," he said . " If there's a conflict (between the faculty se nate and Undergraduate College), it behooves the administration to pay attention to what we say." He added that John Thorpe, vice prov01t for undergraduate educatio n. bas qn:ed that there won' be any changes in tbe Undergraduate College's bylaws in the next three years unless tbe faculty senate approves. The administration lim ited that moratorium to three years, Thorpe explained, because the president and provoot may disagree wtlh the senate some time and wish to make changes. The president and provost arc willing to give up that option for three yea ... , but not folfeit it forever. In other faculty senate business : • When a faculty member brought up the ' prlllilem of cutback.s in the libraries, Boot ~plied that the provost got the ringing messase that the faculty senate feels cuts in library acq uisitions should be a last resort . '" I suggest you sc ream about it as as you ca n," added Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics. .. The idea that a lot of journals are not being adequately read ts false . The ~dea t_hat yo u can r~ad journ als thro ugh 1nterhbrary loan 1s JUSt ridiculous " Good man said . • ~ loud P anly as a res ult of very loud sustai ned complaining from th~ facult y, a lot of money from the Grad ~ate ~escarch Initiative went into the hbrar:zes,. but almost all went into computenzauon. Goodman co ntin\led. He can' unde,.,.tand why that 's described as a long-term solution. In his view it's more like a family that doesn' have enough to eat buying a color TV. "The mo ney is being spent for what the leader.; of the. library see as glitzy and fas htonable tnstead of what the facuh~ need," Goodman said . Judt.t h Hopkins of the Li braries took exception to that com ment, sayi ng that the co mputerization aJJows the staff to offe r necessary services. Staff has b<:<n cut from 215 people in 1977 to I'W now. " It 's not either/ or," Hopkins sard .. We need acquisitions and aut o m ~­ tio n." But she seconded Goodm an 5 sugg~stion .that faculty speak out about the hbrary cuts. ,, "The fat is long since gone," sh< satd .. What remains is muscle.

On May 24, the board approved g u i dc:f inr ~ for the establ is hment of interco llegiate a thlet ics boards a t SUNY"s 29 state-operated institutions. Along with tha t decis io n. the board au thorized a campus option to charge a n athletics fee in supp ort of intercolle giate progra ms. The board passed a resolution requ iring campuses to establish athletics boards made up of fac ult y and administrative representatives. The policies of these boards must be consistent with the policies of the National Collegiate Ath le tic Association or the NationaJ Junior College Athletic Association. These organizations will gove rn the intercollegiate partici patio n of SUNY teams. The resolution stemmed from recommendations of the Chancellor's Task Force on the Quality of Stud ent Life. The establishment of campus boards will ~s ure that the University's sta teoperated campuses are in NCAA compliance, said Frank G. Pogue , Jr. . vice chancellor for student affai rs and special programs. UB·s Intercollegia te Athletics Board alread y performs th is function . said Ne lso n Townsend. d irector of ath letics here. T he existence of the lAB places the Univers ity a step a head of its sister institutions. he said . .. An intercollegiate athlet ics board is a necessi ty in any un iversity. The boa rd ens ures th at the athletics program not only is run well, but ope rates within the academ ic missio n of the universi ty... Townsend noted . A n at hletics fee wo uld rep lace the curre nt funding system for intercollegiate athletics. Currently, programs are funded by student activity fees . Intercollegiate at hlet ics shares the fee with numerous st udent clubs, 8ctiVit ies, and organizati ons. as well as in tramuraJ and recrea tio nal sports programs. The new fee wo ul d enable campuses to fund athletics separately from oth er student programs. lntrainUrals and recreational spons would still be fu nded by studen t activity fees. The athletics fee would have a ca p of S30 per full-time stud ent per semester. The fee wou ld guarantee a consistent so urce of revenu e to help ensure a co nsistent, quality program. Initiation of the fcc would also remove the necessit y for raising the cap o n student aCtivity fees. That cap is currently S I 20 per year. an amount which several cam- puses have urged the trustees to raise . At th is point, no decision has been made regarding implementation of an athletics fee at UB, Townsend said. In fact, the fee has not been considered by the Unive rsity. Approval of the fee, though, is a .. progressive step'" taken by th e trustees, he said . It a ntic ipa tes the need for the type of funding th at a q ualit y athletics progra m requires and indicates SUN Y's desire to have such a program. .. Approval of the fee ensures - the fi nancial resources to ca rry out a uni versity's co mmitment to an athletics progriml:· Townsend said . .. It does not say to an athletics department, ·w e want a great program , now you go find the money to ope rate it.' .. In his view. the latter approach encourages the ki nds of .. creative funding .. th at often get colleges int o trouble. 0 $2 million for UB in House-approved DOE authorization he effon to obtain S2 millio n ift federal fund s to assist th e development of a Manufacturing Techn o log ies Re sea rch C omp lex in Bai rd Re search Pa rk moved another step forwa rd th is week as th e: H o use of Repr ese nt atives a pproved a FY '89 Dep a rtment of Energy auth orization bill.

Bruce Johnstone, president of Buffalo State College, will do a good job as the new chancellor, Sample said. adding that "it's a t o ugh job." Johnstone takes over Aug. I. One of our difficulties at UB is to familiarize SUNY officials with this campus, which is more complicated than other SUNY campuses, Sample noted. But Johnstooe "taught on this campus, supervised doctoral students here, and has an appreciation for UB," Sample said.

Roberta Gaick 's paper, ••Effects of Bioaugmentati o n Under St ud y and Non-Study State in Fluent Conditions, .. examines the dual nature or treating hazardous waste. In her paper Gaick says that so mctim~s. when trying to degrade hazardous waste, the bacteria selected to do the job arc not enough a nd a supplemeet is needed. Those supplement s arc usually other bacteria non-indigenous to the waste, said Scott Weber, UB assistant professor of civil engineering. By adding them to the waste, the process can., be speeded up. However, most of the literature on A th e to pic s hows th at suppleme nts tested under laboratory experiments have no effect o n degrading the wast e while field experiments show just the opposi te effect. Gaick's paper reinforces th at dua lit y. She says that experiments done under field conditions, which are everchanging, benefit from the supplement s. Controlled laboratory experiments. because of the constancy, show no benefit from the freeze-<lricd and commercially sold su pplements. Gaiek, a fir.;t-year graduate student in the Civil Engineering Department, is st udying for her M.S. degree with a concentration in environmental engineering.

It is diffi cult to bel ieve that someone teaching in an African-American Studies Department could write an anicle filled with so many factu al errors a nd diston ions. And it is even mo re difficult to believe t hat an Africa n livi ng am o ng Afri ca n-Americans fo r mo re th an ten years could harbo r so many misconce pti ons about black America ns . Mr .

In fact, every Afri can · American Studies and Black S tud ies program in the United States, includ ing the o ne. at UB. bases its curriculum o n this very not ton . masses are in trouble. In such a period . for someo ne to claim that the pro blems faci ng black peop le arc bein g solved and that the black middle-class has abandoned the masses is irresponsible. Finally, Mr. KaJu-Nwiwu 's view th at ..They (African · Americans) now want President Reagan to nuke Iran and Libya .. is ridiculo us. African· Americans are for peace not war. At every level they have fo ught against Reagan's aggressive military posture and have ad vocated policies of diplo macy over ..gunboat ~ tactics. Mo re theltCany o ther group in the United S tates blacks realize th at aggressive m ilitary policies lead to budget cuts in social programs a!'d that blacks die in d ispro portionate numbers in the U.S . military adventures overseas. As an African· American historian and a pioneer in the black studies movement. I find it difficult to believe that someone co uld live among blacks for more than ten years and kn ow so little a bout their history and everyd ay life and cultu re.

Further. most black scholars including Allen Counter, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Manning Marable, William J . Wilson. Molefi Kete Asante , Mary Berry, John Hope Franklin , and John Blassingame , have stressed the link between Africa and African·Americans and have argued that the liberation movements which took place in Africa played a central ro le in the succc:ss of the civil rights movement in th is country. The rise of independent African nations made the continuation of J im C row diplomat icall y impossible . nd for Mr .

As late as 1985, the median income of black families was onl y about $17,000. In that same year, thert wen: less than 5,000 blacks making over $15,000 a year, and only four per cent of the black population earned more than $50,000 a year, and almost a third still lived in poveny. Most signiflCantly, over the past eight years, blacks have actually lost income relative to whites. When these figures are studied in relation to the utremely high dropout rate among black high school students. the declining enrollment of black college students, the monumental structural changes in the economy, and the rise of a new , subtle but inaidious form of racism, it becomes clear A most tha'-the black middle..:lw and the black "' Mother Mallard returns to O'Brian-5 to raise family By MARY BETH SPIN A T he swallows that return each year to Capistrano may soon be vying for attention with a mallard duck who's staning an annual pattern of returning and setting up housekeeping at the U B law school. Last year, the duck flew over a two· stor y-high enclosed terrace at the: school to nest and raise a fami ly of II ducklings. She's back again this yea r with another II . It was a surprise in 1987 when Law Professor Alan Freeman and his wife and colleague Betty Mensch discovered the female mallard on the fifth Ooor terrace of O'Brian. They and other faculty and staff were even more surprised when she emeried from the thick ivy which covers the area, parading her family. Then: everyone p1tched in to make the guests feel at home . Joined by staff members Anne Mis· sert and Amy Hypnarowski and other faculty, Freeman and Mensch lugged colorful child-sized wading pools to the terrace so the little family could learn to swim. Feeding schedules and pool cleaning chores were divided so even on weekends and holidays. the ducks would be fed and could enjoy the clean swimming environment they learned to prefer. As May stretched into July last year, membe.-. of the "duck patrol" began "' worry that the II babies, which were growing rapidly, might not be able to Oy to freedom over the high walls. But in August, after apparently several weeks of practice, mother and youngsters left for greener pastures. bout six weeks ago this year. a female mallard was spotted wanA dering around on the fifth Ooor terrace. " But she new off, and we didnl see her again," said Missen, a secretary at the law school. On May 16, however, the duck wadd led from underneath the ivy with her latest family . Word spread quickly as the "duck patrol" mobilized for another summer of duty. Missert emphasizes that while there 's no way to know whether it's the same mallard mother, there's a good chance that it is. Or it might be one of the ducks hatched on the flfth-Ooor terrace last year. It's unlikely that the mallard mother knew t hat Freeman and Mensch, along with Barry Boyer, teach a course in the law school entitled "Nature, Ecology and the Law" which includes such issues as protecting endangered species. But she certainly came to the right place. 0 �June 9, 1988 Summer No.1 '- Commencement 1988 saw over 5,000 graduates join the ranks of Universi ty alumni in 13 separate ceremonies. Proud parents and spouses clogged aisles to snare glimpses of the1r graduates. Graduates carried signs or wore messages on their hats so th ey could be gl~mpsed by spec tat ors in Alumni Arena where many of the ceremonies were held before larg~ , no1sy audiences. Champagne corks popped; proud grads pumped their fists in the a1r m tnumph. hugged and kissed, and began to move on to the next stage 1n the1r lives. To gUide them on that passage , speakers exhorted them to choose life, to foster freedom, to champiOn fa1rne ss. to face truth , to work together for a better world for aiL Some student , already at work on th ose tasks . quiety leaneted commencement-goers with pamphlets protesting Star Wars-related research on campus .

GENERAL is name wasn't on the list of those _receiving degrees, but UB\ 142nd General Commencement was nonetheless Maria Cuomo's commencement. From the time he strode into Alumni Arena bareheaded amid a sea of mortarboard caps until he shook the hand of the I ,400th graduate, the Governor was the star o f the show, May 22. Cheers broke like a football .. wave" across the jammed arena as various pans of the audience spotted Cuomo in the o pening line of march. " Mario! Mario!" rang the shouts as graduates and parents waved and reached out to touch the man many believe will one day occupy H the White House . Graduates roared like basketball fans at the Final Four when Cuomo was introduced from the podium. shouted their assent as he crowdpleasingly lashed ou t against Star Wars in his Commencement address. and fi nally jumped to their feet as he concluded his patently inspirational ... We are the World " address. The C lass of 1988 "has all the choices to do or not to do, to try or not to try" to achieve a grand new world. he submitted . " I think I know what your choice will be ... he said with infectious feeling. Later, like some favorite uncle. the governor hugged , and mugged with , graduates as he personally congratulated everyone wh o received a diploma. Those who expected a polite, formal handshake got just that. Those inte rested in exuberant arm-pumping found Cuomo to be equally accommodating. High-rives were reciprocated. and huggers got hugged back . Every so ofteh the entire procession of graduates halted as an irrepressibly expansive student threw his arm around the go vernor's shoulder and waited for mo m or dad to rush up and snap a picture. Cuomo grinned as broadly as each of those st udents who one day will show the grandchildren that treas ured snapshot of .. me and Mario."

Kunstlcr cited these exa mples: • First ........, Princi pa ls ca n now censo r school newspape rs. preve nt their d istributio n o n sc hoo l gro und s, eve n e lim ina te the m COliTCly . . , . . . . . . . . . . tot Until rece ntl y, illegally seized evidence could no t be mtrod uced in co urt against a c riminal defendant . This is called th e excl usio na ry rul e? But now there ca n be a ..good fai th " exception to this rule. Kunstler di scussed a case th at involved a nea r-sighted po lice man wh o had a warran t to search o ne ho use. but mistakenly searched the house nex t door. There he fo und a small amount of ma rij uana. Alth o ugh the po lice man d id not have th e pro per warrant . the mariju ana was neve rtheless introduced as ev idence against the unfo rtunate occupa nt. who was co nvic ted a nd se nt to jail. .. Our Fourth Amendm ent, whi ch says there shall be no unreaso nab le sea rch and !tC itures. has been destroyed." Kunstlcr said . •l'ifttoa..o .. nt - lf a defendan t takes the sta nd , an illega lly extracted admission can be introduced against him. This weakens the Miranda rule, said Kunstler. ·Sbtlt· ··· - Jurors are anonymous in certain cases in the federal courts. and the practice is spreading to state courts. Another Sixth Amendment problem Kunstler pointed out " the forfeiture of legal fees . if paid with the proceeds of cnme. That is a "very, very dangerous step." said Kunstler, a denial of the right to counsel for defendants with money. Defendants without money must accept a lawyer that the state appoints. They cannot ask that a lawyer of choice be appointed, even if there are people ready. willing, and able to represent them for the low fees that are typically paid to court app oi nted att o rneys. So me co urt s arc yielding o n this now. but it i!' still no t the general rule. said Kunstle r. • litllltt .......tot - A preventi ve detention statut e. which became law on Oct. 12. 1984, allows po lice to keep peo ple in prison for length y period s of time with out a trial. Kunstler ci ted the case of a man who spent 32 mo nths in a Co nnecticut jai l and never went to co urt. "We're here fo r such a brief period of time. Just imagine the passage of 50 years. How many of us will be here? It is vital, I believe, that you le ave behind something more than the predictably unappreciative children who will share your wealth, and possibly fight over it. "You can advance the cause of human liberty," he said emphatically. "The choice is yours." EDUCATIONAL STUDIES "I n the end . .. the chOices we make for .ourselves are s urcly' the pnme movers in o ur successes and our fai lures," Harold Noah. UB professor of ed ucational studies, told graduate s of the Faculty of Educatio nal Studies May 21. "I strongly believe that for most of us. most of the time, luck is only a minor part of the story .. Our choices make our chances ... During the Slee Hall ceremony, 162 graduates received the master of education; nige. the master of arts; 14, the master of science; 20. the Ed .D .• and 69. the Ph.D. Provost William Greiner conferred degrees . ... We honor not simply the piece of paper that will testify to your credential, .. nor even the new knowledge, skills and ways of thinking that you .. have acquired during your studies. Basicall~. we honor the series of deltberate, personal choices that you have made and that has at last brought you to this happy day." As graduates, Noah advised, ..you must choose to be professional. It does not happen on its own. Choose to put your client's needs above your own .... Choose not to talce advantage of your specialized knowledge at the expense of those whom you would serve. And , above all. choose to work hard at keeping yourself up to date in a world where knowledge is changing fast.. .. In the political sphere. graduates face a .. mom~tous "' choice, Noah said ...That choice governs when and how we can coexist with the technoiogy of nuclear weapons." Before the bombing of Hiros hima. he . continued , "man's inhum anny to man . . . was startling in its destructi ve events. But the damage to people, institutions and things was relatively localized . Recovery in at most a generation or two was the no rm ... "(Now) unless we are exceedingly careful and wise to make the right choices, we may be the last ge nerat io n to inhabit the planet that we would recognize as our earth." Noah repeated the advice given him by his matern a l grandm other. who emigrated to England fro m the city of Odessa in the Ukraine. " Harold. the most important thing in life is to know how to choose between being patient and when to say. enough already." He concluded: "I believe we are long past the point when we human beings can continue being patient with the existence of nuclear weaponry. It is, in my grandmother's words, time to choose to say. enough alre ady. Nothing is perhaps more heartening to me at this moment. . . than the fact that the governments of the Soviet Uni o n and the United States are also making that choice and see m to be sayi ng , enough already."'

Cann was part of a research team which last year reponed that all mankind shares a common female ancestor who lived in Africa abo ut 200.000 years ago. E might mean that people will have their careers chosen for them "before they have completed grade school. • The U.S. government would likely control the use of such tests she said, but other countries' might abuse them.

The student, too, enlarges his or her repertoire and enjoys the break in the otherwise solitary regimen of practicing. All those who panicipate, including non-performing auditors, will gain extensive knowledge of the concerto repertoire, says Boldt. Two hours of undergraduate or graduate credit are available for festival panicipants. In preparation for the event, the young pianists have rigorously prepared their poeces and will play the concenos or concerto movements from memory. Composers represented include Bee· thoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, Rubinste in , Saint Saeils, Schumann, Shostakovich, and Tchaikovsky. Among the pianists who will play during the master classes are Lorraine Abbou, K,yeong Won Jin, Jennifer Dillmar, Paul Mastalinsld, Stephen Rcen, Maxine Berens Bommer, Joshua Got- .. ben, Michael Musial, Theresa Quinn, Stephen Benino, Yoko Hirota, Luli Smith, Mark Vona, and Barbara Borkowski. By ANN WHITCHER D uring the master class, young pianists mull over the nuances of the repenoire, as they play under the watchful eyes of seasoned pros. On July 5-17, UB music professor Frina Arschanska Boldt will bring her second summer piano festival to UB, complete with visiting faculty , master classes, and lectures. Again, the concerto , in which the instrument is set off against an orchestra, will be the focus for st udent performances and master classes. In addition, the festival's resident faculty will play solo piano works in a series of Slee Hall concerts. This year's festival is entitled ... Piano Conceno from Dillersdorf to Cage." In all, there will be five faculty concens and another two ..concerto concerts" in Slee. All but o ne are at 8 p.m. Baird Hall will be th e site of 19 m aster classes featuring about 20 concerto perfo rmances. In addition , a four- part lecture series on the art of the master class will be held in Baird Hall. Faculty membe rs include: Boldt, her pianist husba nd Kenwyn Boldt, who is a membe r or the Buffa lo State College music fac ult y, and Stephen Drury, faculty member at the New England Conservatory and nrst prize winner in the 1983 Co ncert Artists Guild lnternarional Compctitiron. Also. Tong- 11 H an. who has performed with rh e New York Philharmonic. Chicago Symphony, and other ensembles; Albeno Reyes , past pri>e· winner in the Lc:ventritt and Tchaikovsky competitions; Roben Jordan who has appeared at Lincoln Cen ter and the Kenned y Center,. and U B alum nus Randall Kramer, co-artistic director of the Island Park Summer Repenory Com pan y.

Also joining this year's faculty will be (:harles Peltz, music director of the UBuffalo Civic Symphony a nd conduc· tor of the Mozart Society Orchestra at Harvard . Peltz has performed a special chamber orchestra for the festival that will perform in one faculty concert and one master class. Faculty concerts will showcase piano works by Mozan, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Ravel, and Cage, among others. Randall Kramer will play Four Frina Arsch~nska Boldt Dances from leonard Bc;,.r nste in's .. West Side Story ... arranged ,.or piano solo by retired UB music prOfessor Leo Smit. "The festival is a wonderful opportunity for students to stud y with a very diverse faculty ," says Boldt. She adds that there are few opport unit ies for the young piano student to thorough ly delve into the repertoire , beyond the major conservatories or in the form of private lessons, all to the tune of thousands of dollars. " It 's a lonely professio n. You don\ really get the chance to socialize and exchange ideas. I think the master class is a wonderful way to exchange musical th oughts , even for young children." Boldt adds that the master class, increasingly popular in the United States, has long been a staple of the European method of advanced piano training. Through it. stude nts learn a great deal about various pedagogical approaches. Also, the master class helps a student learn other essentials of performance. L ocal piano teachers Sue Vasquez and Steven Bianchi are among those sending their students tc the festival. Vasquez will be present when her student, 11 -year-old Beth-Quimby, plays a Mozart piano concert during one of the master classes. Bianchi says many of his you nger students are auditing the course. " It's something I wouldn't want the'm to miss. This is a wondc:rf ul chance to hear a great deal of reper· toire over a two-week period." Boldt secured a grant from SUNY Conferences in the Disciplines to arrange the four lectures on the master class. One sessio n will look at how the conductor, so loi st and orchestra coo perate in performing a concerto. Others will discuss the master classes of such legendary teachers as Rosi na Lhevinne (whose pupils included Van Cliburn) and Isabella Van~erova. Those desirin~ credo! are asked to contact AdmissiOns and ask for a Summer Sessions student data form . A pass to all seven faculty concens is available at S 12. Admission to each individual concert is S4. One may attend the master classes and other non-concert events for S4 a day (nonstudents) or S3 a day (students). Tickets a nd additional information may be obtained by contacting the Music Depanment at 636-2765 or th e concen office at 636-292 I. 0 T D istinguished Alumni Awards went to Silver, Thorn, and Plesur .

As a result , she added, nominal fees are being charged fo r heretofore free publications. I book that tells how to obtain specific government information without losing your cool. Boring? Not at all, insists the author, Judith S. Robinson, an associate professor in UB's School of Information and Library Studies. "It was written to be readable," Robinson commented in an interview .

In a quick oral rundown, she mentioned some of them: librarians, students, researchers. teache rs. doctors and other professionals. members of the busi ness com munity, writers. inventors. ho bbyists, a rtists. dreamers - just abo ut any one. In a nuts hell, the book provides guidance in effective search techn iq ues as opposed to th e .. triaJ-and-error struggle" that could become a nightmarish experience. Besides providing guides to print resources and their microfiche offspring, Robinson said, the book points the way to government produced databases, electronic bulletin boards, audiovisual materials, archival collections, government experts, clearinghouses. and research laboratories. While federal resources are emphasized, Robinson said, guidance also is provided to simplify the quest for foreign, state, and local publications. "The adept seeker of government publications," the book advises, "bypasse.<, the card catalog, the Library of Congress classification system, and traditional indexes aod abstracts.

The people involved with this exceptional event make this a fitting mono. The athletes who take part in the Garnes are indeed something special. They display courage and enthusiasm as they master the skills in a sporting event, just as they call on those trails to master obstacles in life. Their parents watch with pride, knowing that they have provided the support and encouragement' that these Special Olympians need. The success of the New York Special Olympics is made possible by the love and dedication of vorunteers. The Games are organized by a local host sHe committee comprised of more than 250 dedicated volunteers who have worked diligently over the past 30 months to make the 1987 and 1988 Garnes a reaiHy. These volunteers are supported by a team of more than 3,000 Games volunteers devote time and energy as organizers, coaches. chaperones, guides, fund -raisers, publicists, parade marshals, entertainers, and sports offiCials. Donors are special people, too. Special Olympics is dependent on the generosHy of foundations, businesses, service and social organizations, municipal governments, educational institutions, and individuals. Special Olympics is unique because it provides competition for individuals with mentalretardation from age eight through their adun life at all levels of abiiHy by assign· ing them to divisions based on both age and performance capabilities. Special Olympics has become the largest program of physical fitness, sports training , and athletic competition for the mentally retarded in the world. It founded in 1968 by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, a non-profit, charitable organization.

The six-year-old, $30 million Recreation Athletics Complex (RAC) was designed to be exactly what rt is : a first-rate, Division I, "dream· facility for athletes and spectators alike. Located at the west end of the "academic spine· (the main row of buildings at the center of the campus) . the RAC is accessible to all visitors, including the handicapped . The RAC houses the five-story Alumni Arena (field house) . The Arena 's 48,000-square-loot floor provides space for a competrtion basket ball court (plus two addrtional basketball courts), and a competition volleyball court (plus three addrtional volleyball courts ). all at which are encircled by an eight-lane, 200meter nunning track considered to be one ot the finest indoor ovals in the eastern United States. Two divider curtains suspended from the roof beams can be used to partition the floor into three distinct areas (Alumni Are na Gyms A .B. and C) . Named for the more than 100,000 indiv1du· als who have graduated from UB since its founding in 1846, Alumni Arena was the fi rst section of the RAC to be opened for use and for this reason has its name on the front of the building . The RAC also oHers an eight-lane Olymp•c· size pool and natatorium , racquetball and squash courts, a weight room , and a total ot 200,000 square feet of floor space. Special Olympics participants will also compete in UB's three-year-old, $2.09 million University Stadium, which is located in an area bounded by Audubon Parllway, Augspurger Road, and Flint Entrance. This facility has a.synthetic playing field for football encircled by an eight-lane, 400-meter synthetic surface nunning track. There are accom · modations on the infield of the track for such field events as high jump, triple jump, long jump, and pole vault. Throwing events, such as discus and shot put, take place on adjacent grass fields outside the immediate stadium but within the same fenced-in com pound. The stadium lies northwest to southeast. with the field at ground level and 4,000 • spectator seats built into the benm or hill ol the bowl-shaped facility. • 4 Kennedy Shriver has been chainman of the board for the Special Olympics since its inception. The New York Special Olympics was organized in 1969 by Dorothy Buehring Phillips. Currently, more than 20,000 individuals with mental retardation have been involved in the New York Special Olympics. New Vorl< is divided into 37 areas, each headed by a volunteer area coordinator. Training and competrtion are offered at the local, area, sectional, and State levels in more than 20 sports year-round. Around the world, more than one million children and adults with mental retardation participated in Special Olympics programs. International Garnes are held every two years. The 1987 International Summer Garnes were held at Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana, with 5,500 competitors from the United States and 70 other countries participating. The 1989 International Special Olympics Wtnter Garnes will be held April 1-8 in Reno Nevada at ,!he site of the 1960 Olympics. N~. YOlk will send 34 athletes. • �us:·an exciting place to learn.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"There are no jokes or the 'why did the chicken cross the road" variety in Russia, .. he said, "perhaps because for the average Russian, it is hard to imagine that a much sought after food item would wander unattended."" humor It has a lot in common with ours ussian humor is heavily politicized because Russian life is heavily politicized, said Draitser. But this should not be taken to mean that the Soviet people desire to overthrow the regime. "Today as always," said Draitser, "Russian people tell state-unapproved jokes in the privacy or their own homes, but continue to be members of the communist party, to go to May Day parades, and to look up to new leaders who promise to improve their lives and to undo the wrongdoings or their predecessors." The popularity of joke-telling in the Soviet Union can perhaps be attributed R By ANTHONY CHASE W by did the Russian cross the road?. The average American will tell you that it couldn' possibly have been to tell a joke. A recent poll indicates that only three per cent of Americans think Russians are fun-loving, cheerful, or have a sense or humor. Yet, Emil Draitser argues, when it comes to humor, Americans have even more in common with the Russians to a shortage of entertainment, said than they do with the British. Here's an example. The joke is Russian, but the humor is easy for an Draitser. This might also explain the popularity of alcohol. Draitser explained that the Russian attitude toward the drunkard is more positive than the American attitude. This is reflected in countless jokes about drinking. Citing an American joke that Russians could certainly appreciate, Draitser remarked that "the success of a party is measured in inverse ptoponion to what you can remember about it the next day." Russians don' have any of those insulting Polish jokes. When Russians look at Poland, said Draitser, they see a country with a higher staodard of living than their own. 'Where open demonstrations are possible, and where literature is more innovative and daring than in Russia. Armenia takes the place of Poland as American to appreciate. Soviet Secretary General Gorba · chev decided to see for himself how ordinary people live in the Soviet Union. He knocked on the door of a Moscow dwelling . A lit· tie boy opened the door for him and asked . ··who are you . comrade?"" Gorbachev noticed that the rooml had polished imported furniture. lots of crystal. beautiful dishes. hand-made carpet. He said with pride. ""I am the one to whom you owe all" of the good : _Y.ou are enjoying here. little the boy's eyes widened and he called out with joy. ··1 can't believe iU Mother• Father' Look who ' s here .

"Yogurt:· the host responded. "" Before or after?"" asked the surpnsed caller. ""Instead ... Draitser worked as a humorist in his native Russia for ten years. His work: appeared in the Soviet humor magazme, Krokodil, and on Soviet television and radio, but today he's an assistant professor at Hunter College in New York City. f by did this Russian cross the road? It seems he published a satire on a play in Krokodil just as the playwright was promoted to a highranking editorship. Whoops. Draitser left for the United States in 1974. Far from being the cold and humorless robots depicted in James Bond W movies, Russians enjoy a long and lively tradition or folk-humor . said Draitser. Sometim::s Russian jokes suffer when transported to the American environment, he added. "To understand Russian jokes, takes exposure to repetitious propaganda ad nauseam," he said. Top this off with the fact that nobody can complain out loud, and then you can Emil Draitser Draitser observed that under Gorbachev, government is beginning to take begin to understand the Russian comic impulse, he said . "All this," opined Draitser. "makes Russians perhaps, if not the best creators, certainly the best consumers of humor in the world. ·Jokes are the means to compensate pride in Russian humor for the first time. It seems that Gorbachev, when launching a campaign against drunkenness, recommended that Russian citi~ zens drink mineral water instead. Later he remarked . "I'm aware that people are not calling me the Secretary General, but the Secretary Mineral." 0 Debate continues on Special Talent Admissions issue A dditional debate is expected on the Special Talents Admissions Program, under continu· The set of proposed University poli- full senate is expected to take up the matter on Tuesday.

Two issues emerged at the meellnj!: • The senate's current information is that enrollment or underrepresented minorities is now being counted in the special talents category.

Social Work 'connects' with SEFA and United Way drives T By JIM McMULLEN T here is a natural connection between UB's School of Social Work. and local human services agencies. The school works with these agencies to train students and conduct research. Man y of these agencies also benefit from the annual SEFA campaign, operated in conjunction with local division s of the United Way. A natural connection also exists between the School of Social Work arftl the division of the United Way of which it is part, which is the University itself. Fredrick Seidl, dean of the school, sits on the board of the UB division of the United Way. Other board members are University President Steven Sample and Joseph Alutto, dean of the Sehool of Management. The University is the only organization that can claim the distinction of being a separate division of the United Way, according to Seidl. As a unit unto itself, UB raised more than S400,000 through last year's SEFA campaign. Of that amount, a "tiny percenUlge" goes out of the county. The rest goes to local agencies. In recent years, the total UB donation has gone up an average of $40,000 annually. Included among the hundreds of assil;Ulnce programs represented by the United Way are drug and alcohol counseling, help with energy costs, and programs for the elderly and for the physically and mentally handicapped. Individual organizations receive small portions of the total, ,The money each agency recei'(es generally makes up only a small percentage of its operating budget, Seidl said. Funds are generally leveraged. This means the funds are provided as seed money for securing larger funding, usually from the government, for individual programs. That approach is highly successful, Seidl sai<l. bicause it's a lot easier to get government funding wben there is evidence of local commitment to...,......... ........ _. - ..__.,.. _._ his evidence is found in the strong support of the SEFA campaign by the University's faculty and staff. The amount of money raised annually reflects several kinds of UB commitment to the Western New York community, Seidl said . Among these are time, effort, and dollars . Among advances to be ann ounced are the results of animal stud ies condu cted by seve ral pharmaceutical companies o n new dru gs which show pro mise in treatment o f cance r. accordmg to UB professor of medicin a l chemi stry, Wayne K.

"These drugs are not yet avai lable to the public but are expected to under~o evaluation in human pauents wnhm t hree years because of the result s o f the animal stud ies," Anderson says. He emphasizes that with in Lbe past decade , even within th e past fi ve years. new ant\~ancer drugs have been entering the fight against dreaded malignancies each year. "There will probabl y never be a si n·gle 'cure' for cancer, but rather many drugs with different kinds of act io n> which will be used singly and - more often - in combination, to treat different types and stages of cancer," the U B scientist explains. Anderson, himself the developer of promising new anti~ancer agents now 10 the evaluation stage in animals, points out that design imd develo pment of the drugs are Jhe end product of a variety of scientific approaches.

However, they spend most of their time reviewing organiz.ations that have applied for United Way funding . "That way the individual contributor can be certain that the organization to which he is making a donation is a 'sound one," said Seidl. ~support for the SEFA campaign is a strong statement on the part of the faculty and staff here, that we care about the quality of life in the community and want to imprcv: that quality," Seidl alftrmed. We are saying that we are a part of the community, and that is part and parcel of what makes this a decent place to live. "Our response to the · annual campaign is a major symbol of the commitment of the University to Western New York. And it's interpreted that way by the community. We're around and we care about the place. Agencies and businesses are more likely to be helpful, knowing that we've made some investment in their future, and maybe they should make some in ours."

In fact. professors were sometimes hauled before committees and fired because of alleged associations, however tenuous, with communism and communist·froot organizations. In his new book, Cold War on Campus: A Study of the Politics of Organizational Control, UB sociologist Lionel S. Lewis argues that many college and university administrators bowed to what they perceived to be outside pressures. Too often, he states, public relations considerations took precedence over tbe desire to preserve genuine acadeniic freedom. In this sober and detailed analysis, Lewis looks· closely at controversies at 58 colleges and universities during tbe periOcl-'1947-1956. Political considerations may have determined who was intitially picked and labeled, but after that, such considerations had barely any role in how the matter was resolved on campus. Lewis writes: "Although nearly all academic administrators pursued the Cold War on campus, a number frankly stated that it bad never occurred to them that the political beliefs or behavior of any faculty member might be dangerous. In fact , oniV... small minority saw the spread of worldlcommunism as being a direct or major threat to the · integrity of academic programs on their campus." Over 60 per cent of the 126 cases in Lewis' book resulted from the individual having been called to testify before some governmental body about bis or ber knowledge, connections, or contributions to communist influence on education. Most often the ~rilling took place during formal heanngs of the House committee on Un-Amcrican Activities or one of iu sub-committees. smaller number of individuals were called before investigators from other Congressional committees, state legislative committees, commissions on A on-American activities, or state boards of education. Finally, Lewis writes, it didn' matter whether a person took the Ftfth Amendment to aven the danger of prosecution for perjury, or beca~ be or she believed such heanngs vtolated due process~ "The decision to ~fuse to answer these sorts of questtons . IS precisely what led to tbetr beconung (targets)." Others chose not to answer questions they thought irrelevant, although they did not seek the protection of the Fifth Amendment. "A few would n~ produce records; a half dozen were cited for contempt of - Congress. Some may have lied, some may have forgotten, some may have been too high-minded, some may have been frightened, some may have had something to hide. Very few were eager to discuss events often ten, fifteen, or twenty years in the past. All caught the attention of academ1c authorities." Faculty were frequently suspect, too, if they participated in the 1948 Progressive Party candidacy of Henry Wallace, or if they had refused to sign a loyalty oath. Only a handful of accused faculty were members of the communist party, Lewis writes. More often, they bad been associated with communist-front organizations, as defined by the Attorney General's office, or they were active in left-wing causes like the Wallace campaign. Of the few who were communist pany members, there is little to suggest that they were involved in conspiracy, sabotage, or other activities resulting in civil unrest. S ometimes, privat-e, simply being helpful; they • groveled before politicians and other government officials." In the early years of the Cold War, the Joint Legislative Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities in the State of Washington decided to prestigious investigate subversive activities at the schools were the most courageous in resisting the storm_.. Public universities often felt the pressures stemming from their ·obligation to the sensibilities of taxpayers, who were greatly concerned about the perceived communist threat. But there were too many exceptions to this general trend, says LeWIS, for there to be a pattern. "In large schools and small schools, in public institutions and private University of Washington. The hearings were based on one senator's claim that, in all likelihood, "not less than 150" faculty members were ..communists or sympathizers." The hearing was welcomed by both the university's administration and the board of regenu. Perhaps the most courageous example of resistance to outside pressure was set by Sarah Lawrence College, then facing institutions, in distinguished universities intense criticism from the American and provincial colleges, administrative responses were more often anticipatory than reactive. The habit of acquiescence appeared to be well developed among academic administrators .... Lewis' research reveals that once the charges were made, presidents and administrative boards were not aU that mterested in whether a professor had continue<!. to adequately discharge his Legion, tbe Hearst press, and the publication Counterattack. • Lewis explains: "The pressure on Sarah Lawrence was so intense that it was even asked by community leaders or her duties in research and teaching. answer to questions about communist Funhermore, in the cases outlined , pany members or sympathizers on the ftculty." Sarah Lawrence's president, Harold Taylor, responded this way: "Teachers who meet the test of candor, honesty, and scholarly integrity may pot be deprived of any rights they hold as cittzt:ns of this country, including the right to belong to any legal political organization of their choosing ... . " Reed College, on the other hand, dismissed philosophy professor Stanley Moore after be refwed to discuss with campus authorities questions concerning bis possible commynist associations or . communist party m-e-mbership. But the Reed College board did not dismiss two other faculty members who there was no evidence that a professor had tried to indoctrinate his students. .. Individuals were more commonly judged by what they were presumably thinking (or what they may have at one time thought) or by their associations than by their actions," writes Lewis. "It was common to bear a university president argue that it was possible to determine the quality of a faculty member's academic work examining it." writes authorities L ewis without that some academic ••went well beyond to justify its reaJ estate tax exemption. The commander of tbe local Legion post wrote the school and demanded, under threat of the 'fullest publicity,' that the president give an 'official' admiued past membership and denied present membership in the communist party .. The difference was that these Jndtvtduals fully cooperaied wtth authorities. I n general, Lewis states. professors who explained their past associations as youthful error and showed the requisite amount of contrition, were often forgiven by administrators. This caused a wide inconsistency in how cases were handled , even within the same school. Lewis states that Antioch College and MIT "were perhaps most successful , in withstanding a succession of charges from politicians, civic organizations, and the media. "It is obvious that it was not common sociological characteristics of the institutions that determined bow they responded - Antioc~ is smal!, rural, and midwestern, while MIT IS large, urban, and eastern. What was common to both, however, was an uncompromisin$ commitment on the part of adminiStrative authorities to JOstitutional autonomy." Academic freedom, Lewis concludes, means "that no faculty member may be dismissed for belonging to organizations or for holding opinions tint" are contrary to the orthodox, provided that he does not allow bis associations or opinions to distort what be teaches stuaents or how he conducts his research." • But, Lewis states, the cases in his book make clear "the limits of academic freedom in a time of national insecurity. Academic administrators may give lip service to academic freedom, but they are not always committed to maintaining the ideal." 0 Academic ·administr~tors may give lip service to academic .freedom, but thel @~_ngt_._,_w_(l_y_,_~mmiHeclv~to that ideal �May 12,1988 Volume 19, No. 28 Wisconsin allied health dean will head HRP Alan Stull , dean of the School of Allied Health Professions at the Univer• sity of Wisconsin-Madison, will become dean of UB's School of Health Related Professions, effective August 15, Provost William R. Greiner announced Tuesday on behalf of President Sample. Stull, 55, was identified in what Greiner described as "a superbly run search" headed by Dean Fredrick Seidl -of the School of Social Work. The se'!rch process began last spring. Prior to that, the H RP school underwent a year of evaluation during which the school itself and a visiting committee of faculty and community professionals looked at its future role and direction. The search panel, Greiner said , brought in "superb candidates" and Stull, who had been a member of the visiting committee, was endorsed by a consensus of all concerned. At both Wisconsin and at the University of Minnesota (where the deanelect served previously), Greiner said, officials gave Stull the strongest possible recommendations for his leadership, his judgement of faculty quality, and his skills as a ftrm, but diplomatic representative of the educational units which be headed on those campuses.

At comparable universities. the report notes , "modes of organization range from highly -centralized departments of staHltics that control and coordinate aU statistics offerings to associations of individuals from diverse departments who collectively practice and define the field of statistics. . . . . "It is not the organizational pattern that determines the quality of the program but, not surprisingly, the qualilicallons and personalities of the individuals." • To meet UB's future needs in statistics, enhanced and coordinated statistics research and consulting activities should be implemented . The report states : "The existing organizational pattern of statistics is not, in our opinton, adequate to meet current or future needs. ... "We recommend a series of changes that, whilst conservative of resources, are designed to strengthen simultaneously our statistics prqence and activities, to coordinate statistics offerings, to initiate a consulting service and to foster collaborative research. If these recommendations are accepted, in whole or in ·part, some erganizational changes will be neccssary. Such changes are on occasion neither easy to accept nor to implement." • Two reCently vacated lines in Statistics should be ftl.lecl Under the plan, policy de velo pmen t-implementation for four "Dean-elect has a reputation for leadership, judgement, and his skills as a diplomat. ...

This "should involve graduate students operating through a formally organized consulting course structured and supervised by the faculty." It would serve both Health Sciences and the campus at large. • "Mechanisms" should be developed to ensure greater coordination. cooperation, and visibility in the Statistics community. • An oversight committee should be formed to assist in the implementation of the plan. "Virtually without exception," the report states, "major universities have organized degree granting, research and consulting activities in statistics.~ Furthermore, statistics is ... crucial co~pponent of much interdisciplinary research which is conducted ioall of our faculties: ...

Stull is a life member of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance, a fellow of the American College of Spons Medicine. and a member of several other professional organizations which he has served in various capacities over the past 20 years. he report continues: "Funded research in clinical trials and epidemiological studief, to take but two examples, depends critically upon the availability of significant statistics . participation and consultation. . .Statistics plays obvious roles in data analysis in all fields from anthropology through linguistics to zoology." At present, the report notes, the University needs basic mstruction in statistical science at the undergraduate and graduate levels; "applications-oriented" courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels; consulting activities and services, and research collaboration and participation in grant proposals and "The existing organizational pattern is not adequate to meet current or future needs. .. " funded activities. The current set-up, in which these needs are met by the live-member Sta· tistics Department and statisticians in other departments, is inadequate, the report states. "Therr,._ is little or no coordination of activiues among these areas. On balance, this is not a satisfactory arrangement and both our survey and conversations with Deans and faculty reinforced this conclusion." · The committee said it dido' think it was advisable to create a new. Department of Statistics. "However, it is very clear that the existing Department cannot undertake the enhanced responsibilities that we recommend." The. plan would take "a modest infU- sion of new reso~aJ aome reorpniza- tion of resources that are already ded•· cated to statistics, some reassignment of responsibilities, and the initiation of a new program that has the promise of some resource generation .... The repon adds that the co~ulting service will "require both faculty time a~d resronsibility. High level collaboration o statJSUetans 1S needed 10 maJor research programs requirin~ extensive faculty time and effort. ThiS must be recognized in prOmotion and tenure decisions." he committee looked at the possiT ble relocation of the Stallstics Department in other than the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Their conclusion: "Presently, we lind no overwhelming advantages to other locations sufficient to recommend such change. However, we feel that the creation of the Health Sciences biostatistics unit as a discretely located but integral . component will assist materially in the perception of statistics as a pervasive discipline." As for the physical location, "it should be moved from its current Ellicott location as rapidly as possible and more centrally located space should be found for both the faculty and the consulting center."

The A Provost EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fina l article in a series describing the University's revised organizational structure that went into effect last fall . T be provost's job is much less of a nuts and bolts job than was the old Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs says Provost William R. Greiner as ~ describes the work of his office that encompasses the academic bean of the University. After all, says Greiner, this is a "more optimistic era," a day of budget stability, of "flexibility." Too often, the former VPAA's office (in which Gremer played a part as associate vice presadent) was required to do "crisis ~ft~~r=t~:~.he crisis being usually ~ere's still some of that to be sure, Greane~ acknowledged . And when you deal wttb a group of "individualistic, smart, ambitious, eccentric, oppoft unis- tic, very talented" people (such as those who make up a university community), there will "always be a certain amount of chaos and disorder." But "there's less of that noltadays," the provost feels. "We no longer have to agoni:u about bow to get people on the payroll, no longer have to apply one Band-Aid after the next, no longer have to 'supe<Yile' deans on a tight rein. Now the deans can be more creative and maneuverable." It's not perfect, but it"s a darned sight better. The provost, of course, wears several hats. He's the senior vice president as well as the chief academic officer. As the former, be spends a great deal of time working with and for the president on a variety of UB issues (sometimeS as the president's surrogate and sometimes on his own authority). His office ovenees everyday academic . both graduate and undergraduis also responsible for the rune nang of a ranae of services that affect the quality of life at the UDiversity inside and outside class including recreation and intercollegiate athletics. The provost runs something of a central bank and brokerage house for academic finances, deals with faculty promotion and tenure issues, determines s vice provost for research and graduate education, Donald W. Rennie heads both the UB Graduate School and the administrative unit that serves the graduate school, known as the Office of Graduate and Professional Education. The former is . a faculty body with its own governance structure and the latter carries out the policies set by that body. The Office also provides support for post-bacealaureate programs which are not part of the Graduate School. The Graduate S choo l, Greiner explains, "oversees Ph.D. and related master's programs" and "such other post-baocalaureate areas as choose to affil iate " with it. Not all - postbaccalaureate areas have elected to do so, however. For example, th~ Faculty of Educational Studies' Ph.D. and M .A . programs are part of the graduate school, but that faculty's separately accredited Ed.D. and M.Ed . programs are not. The Law faculty's J .D. program is independently reviewed b~ the Amer ican Bar Association . M.D. and D.D .S. programs are also outside graduate school jurisdiction on the academic front. In the realm of student academic affairs, however, the vice: provost has overall jurisd ittion for all post bacealaureate programs._If, for example, a student from the medacal school has a grievance and bas exhausted all processes there, he or she can tum to Rennie's office.

Ideally, says Greiner, the provost 's office should assist faculty, deans, and students to build for the future of the University. "And that's happening." This future orientation, the successor to ,crisis manage~J~Cnt, includes realistic assessments of strengths and weaknesses, 1111d an all-out effort to take advantage of and capitalize on those strellgths. The goal, as Greiner puts it, is fi nally to "develop that greatness which we have talked about for years and are on the verge of achieving." be table of organization of the provost's area is a wide one, embracing slots for a varie t y of administrators who share responsibility for the m1111ifold services the office is T charged to perform.

Rennie serves as an interface between the provost and Vice President for Sponsored Programs Dale M. L.andi in terms.pf brokering these major research programs. In a sense, Greiner notes, Rennie and Landi have split the duties of the former vice president for research, with Rennie holding responsibility for academic policies and concerns whi le Landi connects faculty with research sponsors. The vice provost's office is also developing · a new University-wide policy on ethics and honesty in research. J ohn A. Thorpe, vice provost for undergraduate education, is Rennie's undergraduate counterpart. But on this level, U B has no clear parallel to the graduate school structure. The Fac11lty Senate serves as the undergraduate curriculum committee in terms of graduation requirements, general education requirements, etc., but Thorpe is not an officer of tbe senate, Greiner points out. Nonetheless, Thorpe provides general oversight of undergraduate programs offers leadership o~valuation and accreditation issues, signs off on degrees. His office the locus of academic services such as advisement and also supervises the offerings of Millard Fillmore C ollege (evening and summer programs). ~ The undergraduate college is an emerging idea that promises to change the face of the baccalaureate experience here, and Thorpe serves as its dean. In add ition to its provision of a new core experience for all undergraduates, the college is expected to serve as a coordinating agency for the three arts and sciences faculties. Thorpe, working with the coordinating committee of the college and the Faculty Senate, is also the point man in that effort. T he third of Greiner's trio of vil(e provosts is Robert L.

Baier, research professor of bJOphystcal sciences at U B and a co-<hrector of the new center with Joseph A. Gardella , Jr. , associate professor of chemistry. A $25,000 planning grant from 1he National Science Foundation (NSF) to UB provided the impetus for the Biological Surface Science Center. The center officially will become an NSF University/I ndu stry Cooperative Research Center once the eight founding sponsor industries are confi rmed. Baie r ~zx says. m These sponso rs are major nat ional ~ compa nies. includin g firms specializing ~ in consumer products and chemicals. 0 says Edward M. Zablocki, coordinator ~ of industrial and external relations in the Office of the Vier President for Sponsored Programs. Participating industries will recei ve seats on the center's advisory board along with representati ves of key federal agencies. These industrial sponsors will also recei ve special rights to intellectual property. earlier access to grap duaring students, preseruations ar corporate sires. and timely reports of resean:h progress, Gardella says. "With fhe money they (the industries) put into the pot, they have the right as board members to review research proposals, malce suggestions, and set the direction of the center's research," Baier says. Suppon from the federal and New York State governments will ~nable companies to leverage their mvestments m the center by at least a 10:1 ratio, be says. ponsoring industries that choose to pursue individual research projS ects at UB may do so the Surtb~ough face Science Center and the HealthCare Instruments and Devices Institute (HlDl ). a New York State Center for Advanced Technology (CAn. "Both groups have proven track. r~cords carrying bul res4ai'Cb for i2 rndu..stry. Baier says. The center will be funded wi th annual grants of $75,000 from the NSF and about S200,000 from HIDI. "HIDI 's involvement recognizes the imponance of this program for the CA T's new focus on more fundamental research in biomaterials and surface science,.. says Baier, who also serves as director of HID!. In the past, HIDI has done most of its work helping prip vate firms develop -new bealth-<:are devices and testing products for companies. HIDI's portfolio of projects exceeded $2.9 million in its last fiscal year. Center researc h will focus on the interaction of biological materials with another m.ate:rial at the molecular level, the co-directols say. For exa mple, a den tal im pl a nt should stay securely in the jaw based on principles of adhesion between the jawbone and metallic materials. However, a company malcing chewing gum does not want to malce gum that sticks to teeth. Surface scieOce can determine why dental implants stick to gums, as well as why chewing gum will not stick to teeth. ...This is a true ·center' program, ... says Gardella, noting tha:t the program is Robert E. Baier of Biophysical Sciences (left) and Joseph A. Gardella of Chemistry. interdisciplinary and not managed h1 a single academic depanment. R e~t·a rch will be conducted by faculty m the School of Dental Medicine, School of Medicine and Biomedical Science>. and Faculties of Natural Science' and Mathematics and Engineering and Applied Sciences. Noting that the center wt ll be addressing some of the most cruc1al unsolved problems of biotechnology the interactions of living systems and synthetic material, Baier says a "significant" portion of the first year's budget will be dedicated to pursuing foundation patents for advisory board membm .D Program deals with 'where the rubber meets the road' "W By DAVID M . SNYDERMAN • bat we deal with is where the rubber meets the road. The fundamental question that the Biological Surface Science program .addresses is how man-made materials are compatible with nature's materials . •• said Roben Baier, co-director of the Universi ty's Biological Surface Science Program, currently a division of the Health-Care Instruments and Devices Institute but soon to be a separate center (see accompanying story). The program 's job is to "understand what goes on during the very firs t, in some cases few seconds, in some cases few days, of contact between a biological system and some synthetically engineered material," Baier explained. "What the whole Biological Surface Science (BSS) Program is all about is to develop a truly detailed understanding of the structure and function of biological interfaces," be said. The ultimate aim is to tum theory in the field into useful applications . According io Baier, the program's ~long-term g<f)l! is to have this (their research) tum to practical benefits." Hopefully, the current resean:h will eventually lead to ~better &rtificial bearu that don't clot the blood and cause strokes; better dental implants tbat don't wiggle out of pt.ce;_bctter intraocular lenses that frt inside your eye and don't &et clciudcd up by deposUs; and ~r po~ plants,_ship--bot- toms, air pl ane wings. and sewage treatment plants ... B ecause the researchers are finding certain universal similarities between · various biological surface reactions, eventually the center will be able "to de vel op the fundamental scientific background that will allow us to learn from cells and bacteria in culture the answers that we need and can only get today by doing animal research ." The result would be fewer an imal deaths and less pain and suffering for animals m research. The program will become a National Science Found ation Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center (I UCRC) on July l. These centers are funded partly by the NSF and panty by companies woth interests in the field of research that the center focuses on. . The BSS Program is "f9<=using attentoon on what occurs firs~. second and third when- spme synthetic material ·... is aU of a sudden in the vicinity of blood, saliva or erosion water," said ' Baier. _At the moment, however, "nobody knows the rules" governing such interactions.

This is the view of UB law professor Marjorie Ginh. She says that many pressing domestic issues affect women disproportionately. Take welfare reform, for example. ·welfare recipients really can l afford to move into the job marlr.et because they lose the benefits that make it possible for them to function, such as day care, medical care, and to some extent job· training. And they can l afford {these benefits) out of their own paychecks. This is predominantly a female problem." She adds: • Another issue affecting not only welfare recipients but all employed mothers of children up to age 15, is the absence of affordable, quality day care. ln many cases, husbands are either unemployed from heavy industry or re-cnployed at much lower wage levels than originally. So the wives must work and in fact their salaries may be the predominant salaries in the households." Also, the problems of the elderly turn out to be disproportionately those Girth believes Bush's statements portend a sharp contrast from the views of women's vote." W the Democratic nominee. "'How much of a contrast remains to he seen. This is because the deficit is a major problem. Since additjonal monies are not going to he made available in huge amounts, it will require shifting to new programming in these (domestic) areas." Girth thinks Jackson and Dukakis will reallocate monies for •some of the pressing domestic needs on tbe theory that the defense sector bas been built up in the last few years and would not need that kind of additional bolstering in the near future. "I would anticipate that the debate in the general election could get very specific. Especially if female voters force the issue. I think tbat may need to happen, because otherwise tbe fact that these issues disproportionately affect women gets lost in the: more: thematic approach." inh doubts there will be"' woman on the ticket. "My guess will be that both candidates will make that G chvice a very conservative: one. of women, says Girth, since women live longer. Education is another female issue, she maintains. Wome 's Issues •(f a single parent can l meet basic literacy standards, her chances of being employed drop precipitously. So to the extent that we have more families for whom English is a second language, and more families who, for whateYer reason in our educational 1ystem, emer'" without functional skills, the questton of remedial education becomes crucial." They don't figure· prominently yet, but the candidates will hear of them 'soon on bow he would solve these problems. ·oukakis offers what I'd characterize as more of an inteUectual version of here do the presidential candidates stand on these issues? W Girth commen!J; •Bush has the most the same theme. He talks like an implementer who knows these issues are complex. Yet he really doesnl say extensive position papers that are currently available. Not surprisingly, he takes the position that the federal government should create incentives. for other...f':ople to develop programrrung, rather jlhan take on the responsiblity itself. Bush, said Ginh, is also appealing to a conservative constituency ... For instance, he is against abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, and giving birth control advice to minors without their parents' consent •on the other hand, he's for decent, affordable housing which is another issue tbat affects women disproportionate!)'. And he considers child care a top pnority problem, but not one where the government should he a top provider." In Ginh's view, Jackson is a candidate who •identifies basic themes wbicb generate an emotional response," such as better education, dealing with AIDS, and saving the family farm. But, s~ys Girth, •so far he bas been less specific "/ anticipate that these issues could become important in the fat( election. They are of great concern to many." - MARJORIE GIRTH bow he11 get the money to do many of these things." In reviewing position pa{'Crs from the three candidates, Ginh S81d she was •,struck" by the fact that •everybody seems to be on the same themes reforming welfare, stopping drug use, improving education, etc. The approaches vary. But at least they're not talking about things which women would find irrelevant. " I anticipate that these issues could become important in the fall election. Candidates and their reprtsentatives will need to he visited by groups that represent women's concerns. And their attention has to he brought to hear on these topics and bow imponant they are to many female voters." s the media to blame for relative Ireally, inattention to women's issues? Not says Ginh. ·ne large fields that the were competing initially allowed' the candidates to he more general rather than specific. So far, we have really learned more about their personalities than we have about their positions on substantive issues. "Jackson's and Dukakis' position papers have been created so far in the context of a primary, where the differences among the candidates are not so great. It looks to me as if Bush's papers were prepared for the general election. "My expectations wo~ld be that once there is a Democratic candidate, that candidate would become more specific In other words, I expect the vice presidential candidate to be a white middleaged male. She elaborates: "This race is predicted to he close. And they won l know at the time the selection is made whether that prediction is correct or not. So I assume that they will he operating on that assumption, and therefore will be less inclined to take a chance with the identity of the vice president." Ginh ex~ that orpnizal women's groups will be lobbyina bard for women's issues as the camp~ beats up. The National Orgaruzat10n for Women (NOW) holds its national convention in Bu.ftaJo late: next month .... , am sure tbey11 take advantage of the timing (just before the Democratic and Republican Conventions)." She adds: ·1 think the president has a difficult assignment in terms of translating goals into programs. I'd like to see someone who does not respond in a kind of automatic fashion to the desires of his constituency. •This is a very diverse country. I think that a president who respects the rights of all people to make choices about the ways their families function, would bave a healing effect on the nation's divisions." In .the final analysis, says, Ginh, "it is cruc1al that women vote. If they haven l registered, they should do so immediately. It's easy to say that tbe problems are so large that other people control the solutions and therefore one's vote doesnl matter. But that is very shortsighted." Ginb is a specialist in bankruptcy and consumer tssucs and also teaches courses in non~mpl.oyment genderbased discrimination. She and her students are currently reviewing a range of issues including health care, teen pregnancy, and •strategies" to create coalitions that advance wom,.sg:.s_ concerns. 0 Books in& in MOICOw's intciSeetual and anistk center, the Arbat.

Palmer is charged with assuring the quality of ext racurricular student life . Rep orting to him are admissions, a cluster of student services (the student judiciary, health services. international education services, career planning and placement, housing and residence life, student life, student activities centers. and counseling), and special programs for helping minorities and the disadvantaged cope with the University environment ( the Educational Opportunity Center, the Center for Academic Development Services, the Office for University Preparatory Programs, Cora P. Maloney College, and the Center for Applied Public Affairs Studies). Together, Greiner says, the three vice provosts form a triumvirate for academic programs and student involvement in them . The three are charged to see to it that the University is looking out for the best interests of students: and !hey provide coordinated support for deans and facult y who must formulate , deliver. and continually improve on academic offerings. What's new here . the provost emphasizes. is that for the first time all these areas are under one administrative ro of . Gone with the most recent University reorganizati o n, he says. are the so-called turf issues that so metimes get in the way of progress. Also related to student life as well as to University-communit y relations is the Division of Athletics, once a low priority activity, now infused with a mandate to provide upgraded recreat io n and intercollegiate programs. Greiner hopes that with new Athlet ic Director Nelson Townsend (who reports directl y ·to him) and greater support from the Buffalo community "we will have a world class recreation program to match our facilities and .a responsible. solid major University athletic program." he provost's executive officer and T deputy is Kenneth J. Levy, a psychology professor and seasoned . administrator, who holds the title of associate provost. A generalist within the office, he fills a coordinating function with the three: vice provosts, serves as a source of advice and counsel for the deans. and acts as the provost's faculty personnel officer in terms of promotions and appointments. Because the provost has direct line responsibility for two-thirds of the University 's financial resources , budget and budget planning command a large share of the attention of the assistant "In keeping with Greiner's philosophy on facing the future, emphasis is being given to developing a strategic planning function . .. to help UB prepare for the 21st century. . . . " provost , Myron A ... Mick" Thompson . The deans. of course, have their own accounts. but they borrow and lend both among themselves and with the provost's o ffice . with the provost 's office serving as the central bank . Thompson is the broker for these transactions and also keeps a tmger on the pulse of all academic budgets. Also o n the as s istant provos t ·s agenda are matters relating to appoin tment, promotion . and tenure of classified and non -teaching professional staff, computer development, and academic facilities concerns. In the realm of computers, Thompson and his staff work closely with units on developing new capacities for management and budgetary functions. For example, the Law School and , the provost's office are engaged in a pilot effort to usc computers to provide management systems to ease administrative burdens and to facilitate research and teaching. Thompson's staff also interacts with University Services personnel in setting priorities and brokering arr.tngements for both new conslruction ano rehabilitation and reassignment of >pace for academic units. These -crucial in:"rastructure issues," as the provost calls them, also involve developing special laboratory arrangements for unique faculty needs, especially for prospects the University wants to recruit. n keeping with Greiner's philosophy on facing the future, emphasis is being given to developing a strategic planning function . Here, the provost says, "we can help the deans and have the deans help us to minimize problems and maximize opportunities" in preparation for the 21st century. How do we deal with the large wave of faculty retirements that can be expected within the next decade? How do we take maximum advantage of budget Oexibility in developing not only annual spending plans but long range ones as well? For advict, Greiner looks to the services of the Office of Institutional Studies, another new addition to the provost's office, which performs not only analyses of this universit y but also "e nvironmental scanning" of the academic com mun ity at large . " This campus ha s to get more aggressive in dealing with the future , must become more future-oriented:· Greiner emphasizes. ..Now that the (budget) bleeding has stopped , we have more maneuverability both long and short-term, .. he says. .. But in a sense. having opportunities to do many things- is more nervewracking and more frightening than having to make do with less. _ " With so many possibilities, we all have to be careful to assure that we make the best choices for the Univer· sity." 0 I canization ( R~poru r.

For one to compare America's freedom to Africa's enslavement need only to read the history books of our children. For black Americans have been mentally enslaved. Written American hislory has largely denied blacks a place. Many of the commenu expressed in Dr. KaJu-Nwiwu's article are the type of com· ments that cause people to draw rainbows where storms of struggle continue to rage. Black Americans can not be swayed just because more blacks a.re driving BMW's. Black Americans should not be satisfied with an occasional Eddie Murphy until more blacks are nominated for and win the coveted Oscar. Blacks arc evolving into a mood of Americanization. but it cannot be completed until we evolve into ounclves and learn our own history. In light of this, it must be clear that our mood doesn' reflect pCople who snub their African past and our mood is not representative of the number of blacks moving into the suburbs. Our Americani.z.ation is one of a dedicated strugge to make this country what it ultimately should be. - KENDRA SMALL 2222 Public Safety's weekly Report Tho following Incidents..,. ~od to tho Dopartrnont ol Public Sototy bo-..

Enter June in Buffalo, the composer's seminar, June J such composers' seminars in this co un try; it is also considered the most important. acco rd in g to Felder. An average of 50-80 young composers send in audition tapes and applicatio ns to the seminar each year. Those accerted pay S450 in tuition; this year, 10 o t he participants will get a S200 break , thanks to the local Paterson Trust. I Besides sharing poveny status . Felder said with a laugh, composer-participants arc most often students finishing mas- ter's or doctoraJ programs and about to 5-12. embark on professional music careers.

Felder came to UB in 1986 from CaJifo rni a State University where he had o rgan ized two com poser's semi ~ nars. Jun e in Buffalo. founded in 1975 under the direction of the late Morton Feldman, had been disso lved in 1981 when funding fell through. Felder promptly brought it back to life.

There may be more resources now. but these resources are being greedily consumed by an o ligarch y o f senior composers. We need to take speciaJ pains to give younge r people the exposure they need at critical stages in the ir ca reers. "It 's a very difficult thing for yo ung com posers to hear their mu sic per~ formed in public under such op timum co nditions," he added. "Their work is usually relegated to uncommitted. if not hostile , student musicia ns. So this is a great service. " Last year's crop of young composers included two who went on to win Gug~ ge nheims and one who was awarded the prestigious Rome prize, according to Felder.

During the confe rence, ent itled ''The Problem of Development: Exploring Economic Develop ment Through Free Enterprise.'" participants will be seeking a new paradigm that addresses the sharp diversity among developing and developed economies in the ir attained levels and rates of growth of relevant meas ures of economic welfare, says Isaac Ehrlich, leading professor of eco· nomics at UB a nd director of the T cient ly to help them attain and maintain the income levels of industrialized co untries, .. Ehrlich says. • The relationship between economic growth and po pul at io n growth. M ost analyses of eco nomic growth do not treat population growth as endogenous to the economy, although such treat· ment may be c rucial in understand ing the rol e ol other factors generall y linked to growth, and explaining the actual growth in deve loping countries . he says. Eleven econo m is ts w:ll present pa~rs on these themes. Erhlich says the Journal of Political Economy. one of the two major journaJs in economics. is interested in publishing the co nference proceedings as a special iss ue. "Fro m a n academic point of view. this is the highest honor we could get : that the J P£ has expressed interest at thi s time based on an o utline (of the confe rence program)," he says . The conference is the fi rst major undertaking of the institute. whic h was establ ished last yea r with a S I mill ion . five-yea r grant from th e U.S. Agency for International Dc:velopment. 0 major themes: • The rate of productivity growth and tec hn o logical progress is influe nced by the domestic economy. Give n that technological change is the chief source of long-term improvements in labor productivity and o utput per capita, effective studies of growth a nd de vel· o pment would have to treat technological c hange and productivity growth as endogenous, not just external. to the eco nomy, Ehrlich says. "We bring together stud ies th at explo re an explanation of the diversity of growth rates between low- and highincome countries as a result of facto rs and ci rcumstances under which induced te c hn ical in nov ation , in either its embodied or disembod ied form , may be encou raged," he says. • The relation ship between the level and rate of productivity growth in lowincome countries and government policies co ncern ing international trade, fore.isn private investment. tax policies. cent ral planning, regulation of business, and property right s. .. Our interes t is in ide nt ifying policies that can raise real long-run growth rates in developing countries suffi- institute .

Altho ugh econo mic development is one of the o ldest topics in economics. it is now beco ming a "hot" topic, he says. noting that despite ye ars of research into the sources of developmen t. there is little unde rstandi ng of why some count ries experience tremend o us growth and others stagnate. and why there is little empirical evidence for the co nvergence of growt h rates between developing an d developed nations. ..

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Albert Dekin. Jr., act- mg director of libraries at SUNY Binghamton. mirrored von Wahlde's sentiments in a letter to that university's rresident. .. With all due respect to the role of SUNY Central Administration and the executive branch, the formulaic approach to budgeting for library acquisitions bas failed to keep pace with the changing market for library materials." "The problem," he said, "is that at the spec1alized units. Libraries receive a higher proportion of non-U.S. materials. The problem arises with the de.clining U.S. dollar. As the dollar declines, so does its pun: basing power. • Like most research libraries, said von Wabide, U B Libraries must use 60 per cent of their acquisitions budget on foreign publications.

D oughen y's metaphor is apt. As in the energy crisis. the price of th is val ued commodit y is going up at a rat e much faster than the rate of inflat ion fo r other goods. Also, as in the energy crisis. the increases seem to be. in part . under the delib.;rate control of a small group of o verseas businesse s. Last month the Michigan library newslener, Update. reponed the results of a study that revealed that a small group of European publishers was respons ible fo r a huge percentage of the increase in the library's serials budget. It seems that Elsevier of the Netherlands had upped prices by 8 1.6 per cent over five years. Springer-Verlag of West Germany had increased prices by 79 .2 per cent. Two Bntish publishers, Pergamon Press, and Gordon and Breach, had each increased prices by over 50 per cent. .. Factonng in local inflation and currency exchange rates for the five-year period, we might have expected increases on the German and Dutch titles in the neighborhood of 40 per cent, and for the Britis h between 12 and 15 per ce nt ." reponed Update. Elsevier was found to account for 10 pe r ce nt of the Michigan libruy's to ta l serials budget, even thQugh it acco unted for only o ne per cent of the tit lt:S. In response to these findings, the libra.ry elected to target the fo ur pub lis hers fo r a 20 per cent cut back in purchases. Identical co nclusions have been drawn from sim ilar stud ies at universi ties around the co untry fro m Idah o to Kent State. Acco rding to Ubrar}' Issues fo r instance. Elsevier.

The new system will give us better control of our parking lots. Beller enforcement (of existing regulations) is in everyone's interest. .. Under the present system, parking stickers are not mandatory. In 1987-88, only about 4,000 students applied for them . "Faculty and staff tend to use them , .. said Wilson, .. because the stickers allow them to enter lots designated exclusively for their use ... The SJ fee will cover the cost of producing a hang tag that each registrant will receive and the cost of administering the new program, said Wilson. The color~ed tag will be suspended from the automobile's rear-view mirror and will be clearly visible from the front and side of the vehicle. Each year, the registrant will receive a color sticker to be applied lo the hang tag, indicating that he or she has paid that year's registration fee.

Goodman responded that .mamtenance of the computer systefn: will ~i m · ilarl y require continuous fma~c 1 .n g . albeit at a cost lower than penod•cal acquisitions . V n the face of the budget crisis, Uni· versity Libraries are currently .won dering what bas happened to the mf raslructure money they were prom tsed from the University's research overhead funds. To date, neither the compuung center, nor the physical plant has seen any of their promised money, etlher. It had been rumo~hal the Uni ve rsity was stalling on the money pendm~ the outcome of the budget banle m Albany over the State's matching funds for the Earthquake Center. Roben Wagner, vice president fo r University services, expiatDed that th< infrastructure money tS simply bemg recomputed. He is certain that when this is done the Libraries will gel some of the mo~y. Asked how the University will cope with the current crisis in the Libraries. Wagner said that the University has three options. Ftnt, to ~-allocate fund s within the University. Second, to go back to SUNY Central and suggest that they -could p.r ovide additional funds. And finally, go back to the legislature. No decision bas-yet been made. ~The four SUNY centers will get together at the end of May," said Wagner. He expects that libraries wtll be on the agenda. D I �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Sit In Group protests SDI research policy By ANN WHITCHER F allowing an hour-long meeting on Monday with Vice President for Sponsored Programs Dale M. Landi , about 35 students staged a "Star Wars" sit-in protest on the fifth floor of Capen Hall. About 18 of the students remained until 11:15 p.m. when the protest broke up peacefully. Public Safety officers were present throughout the demonstration but no arrests were made. The students were protesting the University's response to five of their demands having to do with Professor Walter J. Sarjeant"s research project on power conditioning, research that applies to Strategic Defense Initiative (or .. Star Wars} Systems . The students told Landi that "signed , spo nsored research contracts and agreements should be made openly and readily available to the public." They also demanded a September public hearing here on the SDI issue to be allended by Landi, President Sample, SUNY Chancellor-designate Bruce Johnstone, and John Buckhoff, executive director of the Research Foundation. In the protestors' view, the Research Foundation should bold hearings on any pending or existing research upon the request of 100 petitioning SUNY facuJty, students, or staff. ~ ~ § _ ~ o ~ Landi added that "we are committed to academic freedom. We accept a contract on bebaiJ of the faculty member. We make sure that it doesn' violate SUNY policies. Beyond that we believe a faculty member should be free to choose what research be or she wishes to do, without intimidation. No freedom is total. But to violate it, there must be a very compelling reason ... The s-tudents also conrended rhar the B violate the freedom of inquiry that contract on .. SDI Power Conditioning'" is in violation of Section 42 of the exists at a university. Landi said that SUNY guidelines . In their view . once his office ascertains that a contract is legal and in compliance with the policies of the SUNY Board of Trustees, it is up to the faculty member and the granting agency whether or not to discuss it publicly. -clauses on pages five and six of the contract allow for Pentagon prepublication review of any information related to the research . The co ntract ut Landi said such a hearing would also allows the Defense Department to classify any of the research results. The Aaron Lercher describes his apprehensions about research on campus. SUNY guidelines state that all research must be fully unrestricted." Landi said that counsel has determined that the contract is not a violation of the SUNY guidelines. Moreover , as the s1udents agreed, the govem~nt can classify the research if it s-o chooses . However , Landi disagreed with student Eric Goldhagen that the w o rding s hows the gOvernment's attempt .. to generate classified results ." andi said the power conditioning research was ongoing before the L contract was awarded in May. 1985. and has non-military applications. So far nothing has been classified. If th' government were to classify th~ research , the University would regard i1 as a violation of the contract. When the meeting ended , the stu· dents began to chant .. runaround runaround." Speaking with reporters after tb meeting, Landi said ""we were not in position to accept the student~ demands. Ir was a good exchan$e ... We don't believe there is any violation. · Students felt otherwise. To the strains of a '60s Janis Joplin tune. the} sang: "Oh, Lord, won' you build me a laser defense. .Let 's do som' research and hide the evidence." The students said they had gathered about 1050 names on a petition calling for the public hearing. 0 Baccalaureate Service slated for May 20 at Ellicott By JIM McMULLEN S tudents and their families are invited to participate in UB's third annual Baccalaureate Prayer Service on Friday, May 20. The ecumenical service will be held at 2 p.m. in the Jane Keeler Room in the Ellicott Complex. The brief ceremony will be sponsored by the Campus Ministries Association, a coaJition of 16 ministries represented at the University. The ceremony will precede a number of other awards and honors ceremonies that day. The non-denominational service will include music, prayer, scripture read- ings, and a brief address from the Rev. Karen Lipinczyk of the· Campus / Church Coalition. "The message will take the form of a commission "to the graduating seniors. They have been in the Universit y world and now they are going out into another one. What they do in that world is less important than how the y do it," said Lipinczyk. " As members of a global village, we must all .be as conscious as we can about how our actions affect our neighbors. Our ethics and values are a part .o f all other aspects of our lives, and we must work hard to bring values and ethics into our worlds." she said . "We want to greet students and parents and begin the weekend with a service that is both meaningful and symbolic of the role of the ministries at the University, to bring a blessing upon all those who are graduating," said the Rev. John Zeitler, convener of the Campus Ministries Association. Schmidt signs with Detroit Lions B wide receiver Mark Schmidt signed a two-year free agent contract with the Detroit Lions of the National Football I.:ea"'e last Thursday and reported to the Lions' training camp at Pontiac, Michigan, on Monday.

Untl Rev. James Lesch of the United Methodist Campus Ministry. The Baccalaureate Service, along with services dur- ing September Welcom< and at the start of the spring semester, serves that role. Religious faith is strong in many students, but many don't connect their faith to their college experience, he added . The ministries have designed the prayer service to make that connection . .. Appreciating education and intellect is not new to the Jewish people," said the past few years there has been n< ecumenical service to wrap up students experiences on campus , though . .. Some other cam puses have ceremonies of this nature, so we ap proached the administration and offered our own service," said Zeitler.

The service offers students a time to meet friends of their own and other faiths. It's also a time for the ministries .. The service in the last two years ha! been well done, with music, prayer and a time for one of the campus ministen to reflect on the year," said Lesch. It's a time also to reflect on th' growth, faith, and sharing thai the churches have been able to offer stu· dents during their time here, he said. "The bi~t challenge for studenll will come m· the days following tb' to recognize the tremendous invest- weekend ceremonies, though , .. said Rabbi Shay Mintz of the Hillel Foundation.

I was intrigued by the fact that many of my black American friend s and colleagues did not consider themselves Americans. Their alienation was clear. But ~ina: then. that alienation has given way to a fresh Americaniz.ation. Their alienation then came from a state of powerlessness, militancy, and se paratism. This aJienation did not affect blacks at large but was confined to the "Buppie" gene ration . This group considered themselves Africans who were forced to live in the United States. I remember vividly a black American friend challenging the popular folklore that the United States is the only country in the world sett led by people neeing terror and seeking freedom. "Well, how did blacks get "here' .. he asked . The bitter truth is that the black American did not see the Statue of Libeny on arrival in what is now called the Uni ted States. Indeed. as poignantl y portrayed in Alex Haley's Roots. the black American left the freedom of Africa for the terror and slavery of the Americas. The legacy of ancestral enslavement and forced transportation to foreign shores has. in large measure, underscored the alienation of the black America n in the United States. However, living in the United States since 1975 has led me to the conclusion that, increasingly, a significant number of black Americans now identify with their American heritage. The economic and academic achievements of the "Buppie generation" reduced the sense of alienation. Without a doubt , seven years of Reaganomics have consigned many black Americans to destitution. But for the growing number of middleclass black Americans, it is clear that the history of the black man in the United States is now being rewritten . For the middle<lass blacks. Africa is no longer the land of freedom . and the United States is no longer the land of terror and slavery. On the contrary. Africa is now the land of famine. of starving women and children, of tin· pot military dictatorships. And the U oiled States is now the land of freedom and opportunity. of black m"ansio ns in suburbia, of black political muscle. It is a sobering t hought that many middle-<:lass black Americans. saddened by the portraits of famine victims in Ethiopia, Sudan, Mozambique, and the former Biafra., are now glad that their ancestors were forcibly evacuated from Africa and brought to the United States. These middle-dass blacks are now as American as any American. They now believe in motherhood and apple pie. They now extol the virtues of free enterprise and the market economy. They now impress on a foreigner the danger of communism and the need for vigorous defense of the "free" world. They now want President Reagan to "nuke" Iran and Libya. W A T he black American has become so American th at . in 1984. a black man, Jesse Jackson, decided to run for the presidency and is running again for the same post. ever mind that he lost. the fact is that he dared to run. and that he gave his opponen ts a run for their money. Jackson's .. audacity .. is indicative of the fact that blacks are more inclined today to make demands of the American system, j ust like any other American. Recently, the y were successful in their campaign for the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr .. to be a nat ional holiday. making him the only other American after George Washington to be so honored . In the cele brated traditions of the Jews. black Americans are also taking greater interest in foreign policy, as is evident in recent demonstrations against Reagan 's policy of ··construct ive engage ment .. in South Africa. All this is a health y development. es pecially because the black American is. in actual fact. more American than most Americans. Most white Americans are second and third generation Americans, descendants of those who arrived in the United States at the turn of the 20th ce"ntury. Most black Americans, on the other hand , due to the nature of the historical reco rds. cannot trace their ancestry in the United States back the full 200-odd years of the co untry's existence, although thei r a ncestors were cenainly here th en. T he ten-to-one ratio between whit e and black population in the United States is esse.ntially biased against black immigration. Preference is give n to would-be immigrants who ha ve relatives already living in the country, either as residents or as naturalized Americans. Since the black American finds it difficult to trace his roots back to Africa, few blacks can come into the United States as relatives of black Americans. Nevertheless. popular American culture today is ve ry strongly black ; white Americans now mimic black speech patterns and expressions. Every football player now asks his teammate to ..gimme five .. after a touchdown. It used to be that black music was onl y accepted by white America if performed by white artists. Elvis Presley made a fortune performing songs of black artists such as Chuck Berry. The Jackson Five were cloned by a white famil y called the Osmonds. Stevie Wonder was constrained to play second fiddle as a supporting act to the Rolling Stones in concert, in the bid to bring some music to white rock fans . All these have changed . Blacks are now among the biggest selling actors in the American music industry. The biggest selling album of the time, "Thriller." featured Michael Jackson, a black artist, playing vi nt age rock , to the delight of blacks and whi tes. Stevie Wonder's latest album " ln Square Circle" is quintessentially rock 'n' roll. So also is "Private Dancer." the chartbursting album of the new "acid-<jueen" of black pop music. Tina Turner. On the big screen, new black idols like Eddie Murphy are laughing all the way to the bank starring in movies with white back-ups. Eddie Murphy has attained ac-ross -t he-board acceptance. His recent movies, .. Beverly Hills Cop I and 2." have grossed as much as S250 mill io r.. acco rd ing to the latest coun t. T his acceptance of black artists is also apparent on televis ion. In the past three years, a black situation comedy entitled "The Cosby Show"" has been consistently rated as the most po pular show on American television . What is remarkable about this is that the show is not cut in the oRl traditi o n of "Good Times" or "Sanford and So n... sitcoms in which blacks are portra yed negatively as poverty-ridden . Even the well-to-do black si tcom families of old , such as "The Jeffersons," were pathetic in their mimicry of white middle<lass values. Then t here was the "The Cosby show is remarkable because it is not cut in the old tradition in which blacks are portrayed as povertyridden . ... " even more deplorable category, typified by .. Different Strokes," which featured the adoption of black "midgets" by white mid dle<lass families . "The Cosby Show." on the other hand. is a welcome break from this negative typecasting of blacks o n American television. It depicts a middle<lass black American family having "normal" everyday problems and triumphs. It projects a black American family which is purposeful, successful, and loving. And. significantly. it captu res the imagination of not only black, but also predominantly white. American audiences. The Americanization of the black American is a process whose time has come. Ce rtainly, the escapist era of the .. Back-to-Africa" movement is now long gone, if not forgotten. Even the Alex Haley approach of tracing the African roots of black Americans was designed only to instill in them a sense of history. Today, the black American has no other country but the United States. It is, therefore. only proper for htm to st.a.lce his claim on the country whose wealth has been the direct product of his labor. 0 Azublke Kalu-Nwlwu, Ph.D., Ia a l.eturer In Afrlcan-Amerlcan Studlea. Letters She likes Jackson? EDITOR: After Lhe 1984 Democratic Conventon. Jesse Jackson campaigned long and hard for the Mondale-Ferraro ticket. He presented -them as an able team and Ms. Ferraro as a worthy running mate, well-qualified for the Office of Vice President of the United States. Ms. Ferraro has no obligation to regard Mr. Jackson in similar fashion and in her speech at UB last April 13. she made it abundantly dear that she does not. She looks at the complexion of every United States president, all current rpembers of the senate, over 90 pc:r cent of the members of the House of Representatives, all SO governors and, with a straight face, tells an intelligent audience that being black. is all one needs to outdistance former governors, senators, congressmen, etc., when seeking nomination for the highest political office in this country. And that is astounding. She looks at all the proposals in Jackson's cam· paign, lumps them together, and calls them radical, sans definition of the term. While the late President Kenned y once wrote that the best preparation fonnula for president has yet to be determined, she of the .. sharp tongue" specified that M;.Jackson ought to run for the senate from South Carolina like ..everyone else."' Somehow, Ms. Ferraro reasoned, that would 'lllake him an expert in foreign affairs and therefore wonhy to seek the nomination for president of the United States. Then, after having sliced her former supporter into insignificant little pieces on the eve of the New York Democratic Primary, she tells the audience she likes Jesse Jackson. Strange. - EDWARD S.

PALMER 0 n March 15. The Buffalo News carried a front page story regarding the SUNY BuiTalo Special Talent Admissions Program . The article made much of the fact that some applicants admilled through that program are student-athletes. The News report intimated that this might be unusual or inappropriate since, according to the article, the Special Talent Admissions Program "was designed 10 help artistically talented students with low grades enter ... " UB. A second article, on March 24, questioned the appropriateness of the number and percentage of athletes ad milled to U B under the program. The characterizations and some of the commentary regarding the program and its n:cent outcomes deserve further examination. In the late liOs and early 70s, when UB was rapidly expanding enrollment, admissions decisions were made primarily on the basis of quantitative measures of academic achievement and potential, such as grade-point averages and standardized Lest scores. This was especially true with respect to undergraduate admissions, where the volume of applicants was very high and admissions were administered through a central office. For admission to departmental majors, however, other factors were co nsidered, particularly in such fields as art, mustc, theatre. and physial and health education. In 1970-71, faculty, particularly from the sciences and engineering, asked the Faculty Senate to consider using a special-talent measure for granting admission to tbe University proper. They noted that some applicants who were extremely talented in mathematics did less well on verbal aptitude tests and in languages and literature, and were being denied admission when their overall grade averages and verbal lest scores did not meet then current standards. The senate agreed to an experimental program for these exceptional students, and the precursor to our current Special Talent program came into being. S oon thereafter, in 1974. the Faculty Senate Admissions Commiuee recommended that up to I 0 per cent of each entering undergraduate class be admitted on the basis of "a wider range of allributes" than the standard quantitative indicators of achievement and aptitude. The senate adopted that proposal, and a committee on individualized admissions was named to implement it. In 1975, the Commillee on Individualized Admissions issued its first report to the senate. The committee reported that in the specialtalent segment of the individualized admissions program, the Departments of Art, Music, and Theatre and the School of Health Education (a precursor to what is now our Division of Athletics) participated in the review process, and that students with special athletic talent were admitted on the recommendation of the school. In 1983, the program was retitled the Special Talent Admissions Program, and in 1987 its mandate was broadened to include the admission of specially qualified minorit y students. From its inception, tbe special talent / individualized admissions program has done much more than admit .. artistically talented students." Providing individualized admissions opportunities fo r gifted student athletes has always been part of its broad mandate. This is also common practice ar other public insritutions. ccording to a 1986 survey o f undergraduate admissions prOC(dures, over 90 per cent of four-year public institutions report special recruitment efforts for specially talented students, including athletes. In thi~ state, at tier university centers, such as SUioiY Albany, SUNY Binghamton and SUNY Stony Brook have individualized admissions programs, and both student-athletes and other specially talented students are admitted . The special talent / individual admissions program at SUNY Buffalo is a A part of our normal process, esta blished under a directive of the Faculty Senate that up to 10 per cent of each entering class be admitted on the basis of factors other than solely quantitative predictors of academic potential and achievement. This approach is used very extensively and effectively in graduate and graduate professio nal admissions, as in our schools of Law and Medicine and Biomedical Sciences were highly individualized admission processes are used . At the undergraduate level we probably have been too cautious in our use of individualized admissions. Although we could admit up to 10 per cent of each ent~ring class through that process, our acceptances through the Special Talent program amounted to less than 3 per cent for fall 1987, and less than 6 per cent of the class which actu· ally matriculated in fall 1987 was admitted through the Special Talent program. T he March 24 News story reported that st udent-athletes constituted approximately 50 per cent o f the matriculants who applied through the Special Talent program. That outcome si mply reflects the makeup of the pool of appl icants fo r special-talent admissions. For fall 1987, abo ut 45 per cent of the applications for Special Talent admission came from student-athletes. Since the academic interests of student -aLhJeres range across th e fuJI spectrum of o ur unde rgraduate program. we might expect such students to constitute a very substant ial ponion of the total applicaht pool. in co mpariso n to students whose academic mterests are more highl y focused . ., For fall 1987. stud ent-athletes had a -success rate in the Special Admissions co mm ittee about equal to all other applicants to the program . That is to say. about 40 per cent of all applicants offered admission and about 40 per cent of the student-athletes who applied through that program for fall 1987 were also offered admission. The fall 1987 data also suggest that stud ent-athletes matriculate at a so mewhat higher rate than others offered Special Talent admission, possibly due to the individualized attention paid to them by coaches and staff in the Divisio n of Athletics. There is nothing unt oward or surprisi ng about this outcome. U B should be proud of its efforts to individualtze admissions, and we pro babl y should do more, rather than less, in this regard , to expand the pool of applicants to include a much higher proportion of students who have speciaJ talent in endeavors other than athletics. But we should not lightly accept criticism of those who administer the program for having found me~rit in the applications of many studentathletes who applied through this program in recent years. The Faculty Senate is now reviewing the policy of special-talent admissions and procedures of the committee. This study was motivated in part by recommendations from the UB Intercollegiate Athletics Board , which asked that close auention be paid to special-talent admissions, noting that faculty had, to a considerable extent, turned the process ove r to admissions professionals and other staff. The Faculty Senate is not conducting an investigation of the special talent / individualized admissions process because of any fmding that it is nawed. Those who have observed or participated in the special talent / individualized admissions process over the years are quire confident that il has brought laJented and meritorious students to the campus, and that they have performed well, both academically and in extracurricular activities. For exa mple. a preliminary survey conducted in support of the Faculty Senate review indicates that students admitted through special talent / individualized admissions have retention and graduation rates equal to or beller than the overall student population.

Panel asks 30°/o cap on any one type of special admits By ANN WHITCHER faculty senate commiuee has recommended limiting the registration "of any identifiable group" in the special admissions program to a maximum of 30 per cent. The report from the so-<:alled "Kiser Commiuee," was reviewed yesterday by the senate's executive committee. The Faculty Senate Commillee on Admissions and Retention (FSCAR), chaired by Kenneth M. Kiser of Chemical Engineering, also recommends that the senate "continue to support the policy of admitting freshmen through the Special Talents Program· pending a study of the full admissions program." This study should be developed by the FSCAR in conjunction with Institutional Studies and Admissions, the report states. After the study is completed, "the Faculty Senate should reconsider continuance of the program." The commitee "was unable to develop any evidence that the Special Talents program works ~ither to the good or to the detriment of the University. We do not know, for example, bow the students admiued through the Special Talents program perform relative to those that would have been admitted if there had been no Special Talent, program and tbe noor (T-score) A "Students are, in fact, admitted under this program for a variety of reasons ranging from talents in .the arts to athletics to perso'!al problems.

Metz of Telecommunica· tions International , Inc .. the University's consultant, and James 0 . Whit· lock, UB 's manager of network systems and the project director. The figure includes S3.5 million for service to dormitories. According to the repon . ''the project will affect every employee and resident student. . .and will have major influences on the institution for at least the next seven years ... The repon lists problems with the current system. For one thing. UB has never competitively procured telephone service. Also, the current split campus service makes it difficult to .. realize cost savings possible from the use of private and public long distance networks . ''In addition , because the system (analog Ce ntrex) and the eq uipment that we use with it (primarily rotarydial sets) are archaic, there are few useful time and cost savi ng features available and access to them is cumbersome enough to discourage the average user. .. Also. the current system .. offers virtually no high performance data carry· ing capabilities. .There are no electronic video distribution systems. satellite based interconnections. or teleconferencing facilities to serve the University. " In addition. while demand among resident students is extremely high. there is no provision for adequate reception of even local commercial television channels in the dormitories - let alone for reception of supplemental edu· cational programming ... he repon says a cohesive plan is T needed to address UB's present and future communication needs . These include modern telephone services, high speed data communications networks, fire alarm and energy management signaling systems, and sophisticated video communications with other parts of the world . As the demands have grown in all areas of telecommunications, the technologies available to meet them have advanced dramatically. Analog tech· nologies for transmission and switching of voice telephony are being replaced by disJtal techniques. "Dtgital .e lectronic Private Branch Exchanges (P BXs) and modem digital cent ral office systems economically provide myriad features, functions, and services virtually unknown a decade ago. It is now possible to transmit data over twisted pairs of copper wire at speeds far in excess of what was only rece ntl y thought to be the practical limit of this med ium. "Applications of fiber-optic techno!· ogy permit the transmissiOn of huge amounts of information through tiny strands of glass at speeds thought to be imP.ossible only a (ew years ago. The ability to transmit voice, data, and video signals simultaneously over the same medium is becoming commonplace." he report states that the "telecom· T munications revolution bas made a significant impact on higher education throughout tbe country. Major telecommunications assessll!efit and improvement projects have been undenaken at many of the. University's peer and target peer institutions." The three other SUNY centers, the ' 1ocument , notes, have. apqt¥re<~ digital PBXs and are planning to provide voice. data, and or vide o se rvices to dorm residents. In addition . the SUNY system is planning SUNYNET. "a terrestrial integrated voice , data. and video network ." SUNY is also installing SUNY· SAT. a satellite-based video distribu· tion network . L ast July. the University hired Tele· communications, Inc. of Boulder as a cons ultant on the revamping project. The firm is a leader in ed ucational telecommunications. Overseeing the project are the Te!t · com munications Users Advisory Co mmittee, chaired by Hinrich R. Manens. associate vice president for computing and information technology. and the Telecommunications Technical Planning Committ ee, chaired by Frederick S. Wood , manager of UB 's telecom· munications office. The report recommends ... a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure" consisting of a uniform wiring plan capable of supponing voice and data communications to all campuS' locations; a high speed fiber-optic telecommunications ... backbone" network linking all campus facilities, and an inter--campus. high ,speed fiber-optic or microwave link . The report also recommends a network of high speed links between the Medical School and the affiliated hospitals. .. In th e long term, electronic video distribution facilities will be provided to selected media equipped classrooms at strategic locations on both campuses. Satellite up and down links will enable teleconferencing and transmission of educa ti onal programs and campus "A revolution in telecommunications has led to major assessment and improvement projects at our peer and target peer institutions." events to locations throughout the world . ... At minimum, dormitory students will all ~ provided with improved telephone service, clear reception of local commercial television channels, and likely connection to high performance U niversity data networks . If the initially installed prototypes ~ successful, high speed voice, data, and video links will connect the School of Medicine with all the affiliated hospitals." 'T he repon adds : "The project is not intended to finance all future communications requirements for the next ten years. However. an allowance has been included. .in the model for the addition of new facilities over time. "In the dormitory section of tbe model, this could mclude additional equipment to add pay TV channels as an option for students and increase tbe number of data connections for dormitory rooms as tbe need develops.". 0 .I �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 American Express cards available for UB travelers F ree American Express cards will be available to employees of the University under an agreement signed April 29 by UB and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. Payment for goods and services will remain the responsibility of the card· holder, but the card is seen as an alter- native l? . travel advance paperwork . Those ehgtble for the cards include all employees who expect to take two or more business trips in the next year, or to spend SSOO or more on travel. tion request. Procedures for processing According to Pamela D. Lojacono of Accounting Services and Records, the other travel-related paperwork, includ- intent is to eliminate the use of transportatio n requests and travel advances. By September, individuals who travel on State funds will be expected to use their cards whenever possible. However, em pl oyees traveling on State funds who purchase airl ine tickets at least 30 days in advance may opt to use their card or a transpon a- ing authorizations for travel and travel vouchers, remain the same. In most instances, the card will allow employees to buy their ticke ts in advance, add these and their other American Express business receipts for ho tel s and meals to their travel vo ucher, and receive reim bursement by the ti.mc th e American Ex press paymen t 1s due. Application packets we re recen tl y distributed to faculty and staff who meet the eligibility criteria based on their travel history. Tbe packet includes a one-page application for those who wish to order Lbe card. Individuals requesting cards should receive them within a few weeks after the completed application is submitted to the travel services office. Those who meet the eligi bilit y requirements but did not receive an application, are asked to call Travel Services at 636-2657. 0 Teachers are the key to school reform, Hechinger says By JIM McMULLEN S chool reform is not a new concept , but the current impetus for school reform is, according to Fred Heclbinger, president of Lhe New York Times Company Foundallan. Hechinger, who writes the week.ly New York Times column • About Education," spoke in O'Brian Hall last week in the Educational Forum series, sponsored by the Faculty of Educational Studies. Hechinger said past school reform movements were based on efforts by federal and state education agencies to upgrade the whole educational system. These efforts failed to Lake into account the importance of the individual teacher, he said. The current school reform movement emphasizes the empowerment of teachers. Key to that empowerment is the notion that teaching is a profession, not just a job. School environments and teacher ed ucation must change. Also , teachers must be allowed to advance in their profession, Hechinger said. Many teachers are "locked into a box " from the moment they enter their first classroom, Hechinger contended . They lack the opportunity to interact with their collea~ues to develop meaningful changes 10 their teachmg and curricula. Hechinger proposed creation of a "teacher-intern.. program that would allow new teachers to work together with veteran, mentor teachers in devel- capacities of the professionals and the students in that school. Teachers, as the individuals most instructi on in schoo ls. are the most qual ified to make judgments and develop changes in education. Hechinge r argued . The job of admi nis trators should be to set broad goals and allow the schools to work gradually toward them. "Inevitably , teacher empowerment means a shift ing of power, so that school boards and superintendents stay out of the way of day-Lo-da y inst ruction in the schools. "I'm willing to predict that unless this adjustment is made. unless the hierarchical arrangement of power in schools changes, there is verv little hope for the future of school reform ... Hechinger said . long with that change. he went on, schools must be more willing to study modeJs that are successful and put these models imo practice in their o wn area. .. When and if the profession focuses on the 'islands of excellence' that exist. the reform movement will be in much A better shape," he said . Many of the successful models adupt a holistic approach to individual discipli nes. linkmg the humanities with the social and natural sciences. In order to adopt those models successfull y, teachers must be well prepared , not on ly in their own fields , but in general knowledge and planning. oping teaching style and professio nal- Colleges and universities must respond ism. Mentors. or "lead teachers.·· would provide the new teacher's link to a net- oro us work of colleagues. R estructuring of schoo ls is another key ingredient of school reform, he said. This restructuring should not follow a "master plan" for creating a new system. Rather, each school should be allowed to adapt Lo the needs and Fred Hechinger d irectl y invo lved with day-to -day to this demand by providing more rigte ac her-traini ng program s, Hechinger stated . .. T he publ ic is ready for these changes now, Hechinger said. The greatest amount of hostility toward the current reform movemen t, he co ncluded. has come from admi nistrators. who are comfortable with the control the current system offers them . 0 Phi Beta Kappa will induct 92 in ceremony on May 20 inety-two students will become members of Phi Beta Kappa at the scholastic honor society's annual induetion ceremony Friday, May 20, at 3 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre, Ellicott.

The fact that these ad vancements arc accelerating so quickly, and will have such a significant im pact on professional practice, is a direct consequence of the emerging role of professional schools in major uni versi ties as centers of research and specialty training. This School of Dental Medicine has been a pathfinder in the evolution of the profession and is now internationally recognized as one of the leaders in research , in clinical excellence. and in the integration of many university disciplines into the academic training of highly-<jualified dental practit ioners and clinical scholars. Unlike most schools of dentistry in the country which began as private and often .. for-profit" institutions with no university affiliation, the School in Buffalo has had a unique relationship with the University from the very beginning. While compiling the histo ry of the School for our forthcoming Centennial Celebration in 1992. Dr. Richard A. Powell, associate dean (retired), found these critically important notes: "O n May 3, 1892 at the annual meeting of the Council of the University, ... Dr. Roswell Park moved that a Dental Department be established upon the same terms and conditions that apply to other departments of the University." The motion was carried ...The depanment will belong to the University and every dollar contributed to its equipment will be vested in the Council - hence there will be no private proprietorship. nor can the policy of the school be so controlled by the Dental Faculty as to put it out of harmony with the other depanments of the Uni versity ... So from the very beginning, th is School was establ ished as a department of the University .. upon the same tenns and conditions that apply to other departments of the University." To comply with this charge has not been an easy task for the facult y of the School since the organization and appropriation of funds has not followed the typical University departmental structure. The early clinical teachings were pro vided by a dedicated cadre of regional practitioners who shared freely of their time and knowledge. In the early years, there was no full-time faculty. It was through the efforts of Dr. Daniel H. Squire, the third dean and one of the fust graduates of the School, that there came about a major reformation of the educational • program. Dean Squire insisted that dental st udents needed a strong background in the basic medical sciences and "failure to provide this foundation would be a dereliction." Gradually, the School began to teach its st udents on a more scientific leveL By the middle 20s, students were required to take two baccalaureate years before admission to the School. The first two years of the professional program consisted of .. medicine .. and the last years. of "'dentistry." The dental faculty , Dean Squire, and othe r members of the administration were still part-time academicians. According to the Gies Report ""this School in 1924 became the second in the United States to base its curriculum on two years of study in an a~ademic college. the Columbia Sch ool having been the first. "1 Dean Squire's vis io n of the School was so ins trumental in selling the standards for dental education that the new building dedicated 1n September 1986 was named Daniel H. Squire Hall to honor his memory . he merger of the Umvc rSH) of Buffalo with the State Universitv of Ne" York in 1962 brought new · resources and challe nges to all departments of the University. At that time. the School of Dental Medicine w as fonunate to have a dean who bro ught a new dimension and vision to T the programs of the School. During his tenure. 1960-70. Dr. James A. English deve loped a facult y to whom the challenge of scientific research was balanced against the need for continued clinical excellence. and it was through his leadership that preventive dentistry became the focus of this faculty . The first key to prevention is understanding the disease process: 1n oth er words, research . In 1962. Dr. Solon A. Ellison was appointed the first chairman of the newly-developed Department af Oral Biology which was destined to have a major impact on this School and the profeosion. Originally. this department was to serve as a research bridge between the strong basic medical scie nces in the School of Medicine and the School of Dentist ry. The advancements generated by research and the focus on prevention could never have reached their fullest potential without education in the · broadest sense at all levels from the professional practitioner to the family. "It was necessary to chanjle human behavioral patterns relat1ve to dental caries and periodontal diseases. Students had to be taught to cope with patients' apathy, long standing habits, and lack of knowledge in preventing the prevalent diseases of the oral cavit y. In 1965, Dean English appointed Dr. Grant T. Phipps as chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences to address this critical component. hese two new concepts were just the begin ning of the vision of tomorrow in dental education. The establishment of oral biology and behavioral sciences as academic disciplines within dentistry obviously required graduate programs which would educate academic clinicians with majors in these new fields. Several years ago. the faculty in the Department of Oral Biology celebrated their ~Oth yea r by having the ir Ph .D . graduates return for a two-day scientific program. There were 20 graduates in attendance and all were members of a university or a scientific ins titute staff in major o ral health initlltz tions worldwide. l u lhe late 60s, the faculty made dramatic changes in the educational program for the professional student. One of the major objectives of the program was to coordinate the basic medical sciences. behavioral sciences, and oral biology with the on-going programs. stressi ng clinical excellence . The D .D .S. program was designed to provide a mastery of clinical skills with emphasis on preventive dentistry. It was also expected that the student would develop behavioral patterns which would encourage critical analysis T "With all the advancements in health care in the last 25 years, no other field has changed more dramatically than dentistry. It has truly become 'dental medicine.' " and problem-solving based on proven scientific merit. As the professional educational program broadened its horizons. so did the expectations of the graduates. Upon graduation, the new dental professionals so ught o ut specialty programs and advanced 8,eneral residencies. Approximately 60 per cent of each graduating class entered programs for additional dental training for periods of from one to three years. With renewed e mph asis on the development of research, graduate opport un ities were created for an M.S. degree with majors in dental matenals. oral sciences or orthodontics, and a Ph.D. with a major in oral biology. The Ph .D. program is the first graduat; program sponsored by any umversuy 10 No rth America and has a gene ral o bjective of educating and training individua~ in-the "biological and molecu lar processes of the oral cavity. The particular goal being to provide the dental academic community with well-trained investigators in biomedical research ... his investment in building a strong T research component has paid handsome dividends. During the 70s and '80s, funding for the faculty grew steadily. One of the first clinical research programs was the NIDRfunded Periodoatal D isease Clinical Research Center under the directorship of Dr. Robert Genco. By !986, the School achieved the seventh position in the nation in total funds distributed by the National Institute of Dental �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Research th rough grants, awards, and research contracts. Then came the biggest breakthrough of all. In 1987, Dr. Michael Levine and his colleagues in the Depanment of Oral Biology received the "dental re~earch institute" award . Recei pt of th iS grant places our School in the number one position nationally in the rank order of institutions receiving extramural funds from the National Institute of Dental Research. This award is a great tribute to Dr. Levine and his research associates and brings a ne':"" dlsUnctlon to our University as we stnve to become one of the top public research universities in the country. This major research effon represents the successful multidisciplinary ant~rac~oos of many members of the Umvers1ty community. I in t~e various armed o r publ ic health serv1ces. The performance of o ur st udents on the National Board of Dental Examinations is usually in the upper quint ile. As new treat ment modali ties and technologies emerge. it is incumbent that our. School pro vide well-planned co urses 10 conunumg dental educatio n for area practitioners. During the past year, over 30 co urses were offered for dentists in Western New York . M ost dental schools now offer advanced dental education prog_rams in the vario us specialti es of denustry. Our faculty provide advanced clinical training in endodontics. oral and maxillofacial -surgery, o nhod o ntics, pedtatnc denustry, penodontics, and prosthodontics. In recent years. the thrust of man y of these cen ificate programs has been to prepa re future t is obvious that the strength of any umversuy umt IS dependent primarily on the quality of the faculty . This School has a rich tradition of providi ng outstanding clinical leaching and academicians in the va rio us specialties by providing expos ure to research service to its students and patients. There are over 50,000 patient visits to was a~arded a train ing grant for couphng the cenificate training in our clinics each year. The strong commitment of our faculty to clinical excellence comes at a nigh price heeause of their heavily scheduled teaching load , which is approximatel y 20 hours/week for an academic year. The concern of our clinical faculty for the teaching programs can best be summed up by statements made by outside reviewers: ...The committee was impressed with the facult y's commitment, the pride in doing a ~ood jOb of teaching, dedication, enthustasm, mterest, and responsiveness to fulfilling tbe educational needs of students. Many clinical science faculty must be commended for their sincere dedication to teaching which, in many instances , bas been achieved at the expense of individual aCademic achievement. In fact , a number of faculty extend themselves beyond that which is generally expected of full-time faculty members by any measure." 2 We are fonunate also to have 2 diverse faculty, many of whom received their training in other schools and some with training in Europe, the Middle East, and Far East who bring added depth and dimension to our academic programs. entral to every facet of the School's program is the recognition that the primary mission is the education and training of the professional dentiSt. Students apply to this Scliool heeause of its reputation and / or its favorable tuition. In the mid 70s, there were over 2000 applicants for an entering class size of 87 students. The entering class proflle during these years indicated a GPA range of 3.03 to 3.34, a science GPA range of 2.97 to 3.30, and OATs of 6 and 6. For the entering class of 1988, there were over 400 applicants for an entering class of 80 students. The entering class profile for the class of '88 is a G PA of 3.0, a science GPA of 2.81 , and OATs of 5 and 5. In recent years, there has been a significant drop nationally in the number of baocalaureate graduates applying for admission to all of the bealth professional schools heeause of the extremely high cost of these pro~, the long time required to attam a degree, and fears of an oversupply of health professionals. Fortunately, our applicant status is somewhat better than· that occurring at the national level. After receiving the D. D.S . degree, about 40 per cent of our tr"aduates go immediately into private practice, most -in association with established practitioners in New York State. The remainder receive advanced dental education, either in specialty areas, in general practice residency p~ogra'!15, or C methodology. In the early 70s. Dr. Roben Genco periodontics with a Ph. D. program in oral biology. Eight years ago, Dr. Norman Mohl. oral medicine. received a training grant for .. Ne urom uscu lar Research in Cli nical Dentistry" which carnes su pend suppon for graduate stude nts pursuing an M.S. degree in oral sciences. More recently, Dr. Genco rect ived an ins titut ional award fo r the education of dent ist / scient ists. This gra nt suppon s joint Ph.D. and specialty trai ning. Specialty students in endodontics, fi xed prosthodontics, removable prosthodontics, oral and maxiJiofaci.al surgery are suppo rted by the institut ionaJ dentist / scientist award or by their own physician j scientist awards. In addition to the specialty ccnificate programs. many of our faculty have reside ncy training programs in affiliated hospitals. These include pediatric dentistry chaired by Dr. Joseph Bernat at The Children 's Hospital, general practice residencies by Dr. Alan Drinnan at The Buffalo General Hospital, Erie County Medical Center, Dr. Stuan Fischman, director, and maxillofacial prosthodontics at Roswell Park Memorial Institute headed by Dr. Norman Schaaf. not her pioneering program developed in Buffalo has proved to be an impon ant step in bwlding the School's tnternational reputatio n. By the early 1960s, many highly qualified dentists had fled their native lands in A response to various forms of economic, religious or governmental oppression and relocated in the United States. Because they were not graduates of a Nonh American dental school, they found no opponunities to practice. Dr. Ernest Hausmann formulated a plan for admitting qualified foreign graduates after completing a stringen t evaluat ion process that included passing Pan I of the National Board of Dental Examiners. This program. now administered by Dr. Sait Seyrek , continues to provide many dentists with the opponumty for a fresh stan in the country of their choice. Funher enhancin11the School's traditi on of international cooperation are the "sister school ... relationships we maintain with several foreign institutions for the purpose· of exchanging facult y, students, and knowledge of dental education and research. These schools include the School of Dentistry, Asahi University, Japan; The Institute of Stomatology in Warsaw, Poland ; The School of Dental Medicine, Tel-Aviv, Israel; The Faculties of Dentistry, Universities of Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile: The School of Dentistry, Panama, ll)ld the School. of Dentistry, P!'raguay. A . Each year the School of Dental Med icine receives millions of dollars in externally sponsored research funding, representing multidisciplinary interactions of many members of the University community. stand ing committee of the School, the Cultural Exchange Committee, chaired by Dr. Paul Mashimo, monitors our involvement with these and other instituti o ns. specialty treatment modalities and for treatment of patients with special conditions, chronic illnesses, and highly conta~ous diseases." The goals of this Jrut!aUve are to: ..establis h a site fo r qualified regio nal practitioners to provide th eir patients with more advanced treatment proced ures at substantially lower cost compared to hos pital ambulatory care centers; provide realistic clinical learning experiences fo r pre- and postdoctoral st udents by observing and assisting private practitioners in the tertiary dental care centers~ train practitioners in non~specialty areas, and provide a regional site to treat patients with With ahe move in t o the new Squirr hi&hl~ ~o nta.sious dise&.SeS. e .g. HaJJ in 1986. the School has sla te-of- the-an facili ties offering a centralized instrument sterilization operation. new radiologic imaging systems, and a center for laser utiJization. In spacious operatories designed to closely <luplicate the equipment of a modem den tal office, our founh year st udents are taught in a practice simulation environment . 0 nee the move into Squire H aJJ was completed, faculty attention turned to th e key academic issues evolving from the advancements in o ral health care. The "Strategic Planning and Policy Committee" of the School reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of the School and developed a strategic plan for future changes.> After lengthy discussions with every department, the faculty agreed to proceed with a threetrack program that will und oubtedly bri ng major changes in dental education . The first ini tiative will be l he Special Major Option (SMO), creating an eight-year predoctoral program combining B.S. and D.D.S. degrees with the added benefit of a year of advanced general den tistry experience. This program is designed to identify and recruit students ear ly and to provide trai nin~ in a well ~balan ced program of baste and clinicaJ research and practice. The D.D.S. degree will be conferred upon the completion ·or the advanced general dentistry program. The second initiative of the strategic plan will "establ ish a program fo r fac ult y and student enrichment wi th a strong emphasis on plinical research and technology transfer." The · objectives of this i ~t ia tive are to herpes. hepauus and AIDS ."' These proposals recognize that the fut ure need for more broadly competent practitio ners and a cadre of clinician-scientists will require a more focused, multidimensional educational experience than current dental curricula provide. While allowing for a high degree of flexibility, all three initiatives complement each other effectively to achieve our School's staled mission of educating broad-based practitioners and clinician-scientists who will be at the leading edge of our profession. Many of these initiatives will also involve members of other schools and depanments within the University, just as the Council planned it in 1892. A s the University moves ahead with its plan to be one of the top public research universities, the faculty of the School of Dental Medicine is ready to play its role. The faculty's ability to attract significant funding for major research projects will, in tum, bring new opponunities for all of us in the University and .the community. With a long tnd distinguished history as a pioneer inJ iental education, the School of Dental Medicine is IH!iquely positioned to set new standards of excellence in academic, clinical, and rese~ch programs that will anticipate til!: needs of the next century. AU of the ingredients of excellence are in place: a dedicated faculty and staff of recognized quality, high caliber students, an ade<juate patient pool, outstanding facilities, supponive alumni, and the total commitment of the University administration to helping the School be, qwte simply, the best. o "expose predoctoral students to resear_ch and train ing in the scientific method and use of computer information systems; increase sponsored research funding for clinical research st udies, and increase the number of D.D.S./ Ph.D. graduates with clin ical research expenise .:'~ The third initiative will "create an adjunct regional oral healtll care center for continuing de.nlal education in non - 'G~es.

Shechneris'hooked'on author Isaac Rosenfeld By ANTHONY CHASE ooking at thevdust jacket for An Age of Enormity, Mark Shechner considers a picture of a man with a face at once mischievously bo yis h, a nd severe ly intellectual. With a cigarette in one hand and a pen in the other, the yo u~g man strike s a casual pose . Th1s, observes Shechner, is dcoeptive, for there was nothing casual about Isaac Rosenfeld . Rosenfeld died in 1956 at the age of 38. He was one of the leading writers in the heyday of the Par1isan Review. New Republic. The N01 ion. Commen· tary. and Midstream . Still, lor all this, Shec hner 'obse r ves that Rose nfeld 's career was, by most standards, a minor one. "H e published little fiction . . one novel and a clutch of stories, fo ur of them . as tonishingly. in Yiddish . He is best remembered now as a reviewer of books that. fo r the most part, dropped from sight moments after publication." Shechner. a leading authority on American J ewish Literature, 20th century literature , and a professor in the Department of English, is an important player in Rosenfeld's re-<:mergen~ . He has published essays on the wnter. and contributed an introduction to a new edition of Rosenfeld 's only novel. Pas· sage from Home. Perhaps Shechner 's most important contribution is a new an thology of Rosenfeld's essays, reviews, stories. and journal ent ries called Preserving the L . leagues. and family. . . '"' I got letters, remtmscences, t1ps on obscure publications. and offers of unpublished material." writes Shechner. Rosenfeld's so n even offered a look at his father's journals. Shechner write s that Rosenfeld's essays and reviews '"'were persuasiv_e demonstrations of how psychoanalysts . . . might be employed as a general criticism of life." The stones, he says, "are cold tableaux of isolation and failure, peopled by passionate and lonei.y characters who are cut off from tbe1r energies and denied , by circumstan~ or will, the comforts of human comparuonship." Rosenfeld himself was a man with a terrible yearning, says Shechner. The legacy of that yearning may be small, he continues. but in the memory of h.ts Hunger . contemporaries a labor of love, says Shechner. Twelve years ago when he first I 1 was read "Adam and Eve on Delan~y Stre<:t," Shechner could not know that he was beginning a major involvement with the work of its author. " I was beside myself with wo nder at the brash mixture ol analysis .;u>d clowning in the piece and the sheer intellectual moxie," writes Shcchner ... I was hooked ." From this •·feve r of discovery," Shechner went · on to write an essay on Rosenfeld in 1976. He was amazed by the enthusiastic res ponse the piece re~ived fro m Rosenfeld 's fans , col- . emerges as an impo rtant presence in tbe eastern intellectual establishment. "Then: is no bener moment than now," writes Shechner, "when Isaac's generation of New York intellectuals is rapidl y passing into the ambiguous twilight of the memoir and chronicle . . that we need reminding of how rich a legacy of literature, criticism, and sociaJ commentary they left behind them." Shechner doesn' want Rosenfeld to become another souvenir of his age. Pr.serving 1he Hunger is an effort to keep us in touch with Rosenfeld's "gifts of vision, his charged voice, and disquieting wisdom." 0 SPECIAL A D M I S S I O N S - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Commine<: (IAq. "Students are, in fact, admitted under this program for a variety of reasons ranging from artistic talents to athletics to personal problems .. ..It is not clear when or why the name was changed and lAC seems to be more descriptive of the actual process." he report states that UB's "admissions policy is not a single policy T constructed of ' regular admits' (by rank order) and 'special talent ' admits (by individual revtew), but a series of policies aimed at different populations with admissions based on a wide variety of criteria." In fact, the Kiser report states, U B admits betwe<:n 600 and 700 " nonregular" applicants a year. The 100-150 students admitted through special talents "are only a small part of the non-regulars." For example, the University offers the EOP program where eligibility standards are set, in part, by federal statutes that "specify academic standards in relation to general institutional standards 'as well as income and other requirements." However, '"'the committee had no time to review the total admissions process and barely enougtl time to try t o understand the Special Tatents Admissions program." According to the report, there is limited information "to show how students ad mined through the S~ial , Talents program (or an y other program, for that matter) have performed relative to students admitted through the 'regular' rank·<>rdered program. "In a limited study of its own, the commine<: found that the per~ntage of "The p ercentage of gradua tion for th e Special Talent group is not very different from regular admits." the Special Talent group graduating after four or five years is not very different from the per~ntage of the 'regular' admits." urrently. the re pon states, special talents admits can be no more C than ten per cent· of the total enrolled freshman class. "There are, however, no restrictions on the number of freshmen who can be admitted in any one category under Special Talent. To date the largest single ·group of fresbmeo admit- ted through the Special Talents program has been at hletes. " In the Fall of 1987, for example, out of 135 students entering under this program 68 (o r 50%) were identified as athletes. "While the Faculty Senate created the Special Talent admissions process without making clear what it meant by special talent, it clearly did not intend that the program become an open window for any one group. "If this recommendation (of a 30 per cent maximum) is accepted , a control will be placed on the special talent admissions process that will prevent potential runaway problems." n November, the senate's executive committee passed a motion "that the Icharge, organization, orration, and continued e>tistence" o the Special Talent Admissions Committee be reviewed by the FSCAR, which then met almost biwe<:kly until April. The commin..: gathered and reviewed what documents it could locate on the subject. It also interviewed chairs of the departments of Music and Art, past chairs of the Faculty Senate, the directors of admission and athletics, staff from the provost's om~. including Vice Provost for Student Affairs Robert L. Palmer, members· of the Intercollegiate Athletics Board, and a former chair of the FSCAR. ' Additionally, the report states that "bener communication is needed~ on this issue. "The FSCAR has recommended at least several times since 1974 that critical studies be made of the performance of students admitted to the University, especially those admitted through the Special Talents program. The committe<: was unable to find much information and assumes that no studies were made except those identified in the Appendix.... " In past years tbe FSCAR-(or its equivalent) has called for studies of admissions and retention but left it to others to do the work. The result is thllt n othing was done. We believe the studies will be carried out only if the FSCAR assumes responsibility .... " Finally, the committee recommends that the Special Talent Admissions Committe<: should report annually to the FSCAR "as initially proposed in 1974." Members of the Kiser Committee are Myles Slatin (Department of English); Arlene R. Bergwall (School of Management); Jeffrey E. Dutton (Institutional ~tudies); Dorotliy E. Wynne (Undctgraduate Academic Services) ; Florence Fradin ·(Faculty of Educational Studies); Merle lioyte (Educational Opportunity Program); Anne F. Payne (Department of English), and students Vtcld Callen and Derek LaMarche. 0 �May 5,1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Semiotics grad group studies all manner of signs By JIM McMULLEN H uman life is ftlled with signs.

Each committee member has published anicles or books in the fteld, Garvin said. There are also studem committees art. advenising, politics. sports - every- and a student semiotics club that holds monthly meetings and seminars. Students also present their research papers. thing from road signs to formal language, said Paul Garvin, professor o f linguistics and coordinator of U B's Grad uate Group in Semiotics. The group sponsors lectures, graduate courses. and dissertations in the field , and will host the annual meeting of the Semiotics Society of America in 1989. This will be t he second time Buffalo has served as host city for the c\ I!Ot, which was a ..great success " hen: '" 1982. Garvin said. 1 he number of "self-confessed active l..tc ulty members'" in the group is J prroxi mately 25. from suc.h diverse dl" partments as corpputer sc1cnce and 1 ng lish . Five of that number. along A nd what do the y study? People's interaction, for one thing - their verbal as well as their body language. For that reason, semiotics is involved in tvery area of life . It is something like communication. but it encompasses far more . Garvin said . -se miotics covers a multitude of si ns." he said . .. It's more than just mass media and rh eto ric. It also involves literary systems and codes of understanding. In fact , there arc four subdivisions of tht field : theoretical and philosophical semiot K:s. lltcrar)' semiotics. visual semiotics. 3Hd behavioral semiotics. "We represent a field of learning, rather than a program. institute, or center ... There are research centers in semiotics at Indiana, Brown, and the University of Colorado, but UB only has a graduate group in this fteld. Semiotics is far from being a new field , said Garvin . Even St. Augustine had a "theory of the sign." H is interest is carried on today through the work of such modem philosophers as Jacqu es Derrida and through the graduate group here. Members' research is financed mainly through individual Guggenheim fellowships and individual grants, rather than through group research projects. Garvin said. In the humanities, he explai ned . individual research is more common than group research . In addition, funding for humanities research is usually "hard to come by." When money is available, semiotics research yields some interesting results. For example . Garvin recently did a st udy on "Language as an Identity Symbol." People throughout the world identify strongly with their national language. he said. French-speaking Canadians, he found, are no exception. They identify themselves with the French language and culture. Yet in interviews with residents of St Catherines and Buffalo, Garvin determined that Americans and Englishspeaking Canadians don\ view English as a symbol of their identity. This has important implications for advertisers, politicians, and others concerned with appealing to a se nse of national identity. n addition to discu ssing the research of individual members, the g roup spo n sors student exchanges . Last summer. the group sent four st ud en ts to the International Semiotics Insti tute in Toronto. where they had a chance to meet Derrida and • other prominent semioticians. 0 I Ashok Patel chosen for NASA life sciences program By FRANK BAKER s hok Patel, a sophomore enrolled in ..'I.JB's honors program will have the opponunity of a lifetime this summer.

It was less than two year.; ago that Weiss walked into then-Spectrum editor Brad Pick's office and asked for a job as a reporter. It was less than a year ago that Weiss was named assistant sports editor. And it was less than six months ago that he became the SpectrumS sports editor. Now the native of Manhattan has come full circle and is the editor of the thrice-weekly, student-run newspaper. Forget the fact that Weiss. a sophomore, is the youngest to ever reach the position or that he has only had one full year of writing . and editing experience. The bollom bne IS that WeiSS IS a confident, mature. and enthusiastic person who is looiUng forward to his new duties. - U eiss, who is working on a special W major in ·journalism, said be has always loved to write. But he never got e chance to do so in high school "All four years that I was in high school I pushed for a student ne,...._ paper ... recalled Weiss. who was also president of his high school student body. ... Then, the year after'" l left. tbey gor one." His first year at UB was not tbe most productive one in Spectrum history . "I wrote about 12 articles last year." laughed Weiss. But it was the impetus he needed to get more involved with the paper. . .. Last semester alone I wrote at least 30 articles." he said. "That really helped me learn a lot of things about both writing and editing." Weiss readily admits that he may not have all the experience necessary for taking on his new job. But he said he has a few intangibles that should help the transition. " I know it's going to be a huge jump." he said. "But I'm ready for iL "There are a lot of good people here . a lot of committed people here. 111 have to work closely with them and, together. we will get the job done." nother plus for Weiss is that The Spectrum has rebouoded from its financial and internal problems of a few years ago and has regained much A of its tamisbr:d reputation. "The paper has ba:n on tbe upswing for tbe past two yr:ars." said Weiss.

Hundreds participated . �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 13 UB professors have something extra very day, thirteen UB professors carry around an extra adjective. Not everyone knows those adjectives exist. Some do, but cannot explain what they mean. And no one seems to understand how they got there in the first place. The adjective is "distinguished," and it's awarded by SUNY in recognition of outstanding faculty contributions in various fields. The distinguished professorship is the highest rank which can be given to a professor in the SUNY system. E Ruclrenateln There are three categories of the disinguished designations: D istinguished Professor, Distinguis hed Teaching Professor, and Distingu ished Service Professor. The designations are a promotion in rank and may be accompanied by an increase in salary funded by the nominating campus. At UB, an addi· tiona! SI,OOO per year stipend for travel and resea rch is provided by the President. That's it for simi lari ties among the three \lesignatio ns. The differences are otulined in th e accompanying chart .

Every human being wants to have recognition," said F<lix M ilgrom, who was awarded the SUNY designation in 1981. Chairman of the Department of Microbiology from 1967-1985, Milgrom last year won West Germany's prestigious Paul Ehrlich Prize for scientific achievement in immunology and chemotherapy; he also holds the Alfred Jurzykowski Award. and five honorary doctorates. .. All have meant a great deaJ to me. and certainl y the distinguished profess<;>rship has," he said . "For me , it's a capsto ne to my teaching career," said Gerald Rising, a distinguished teaching professor in the Department of Learning and lnstruc- A Award, the UB Foundation's Outslanding Faculty Award, and the UB Student Association's Distinguished Teacher Award. !though only a small number of A guished," it is not an award that should facu lt y are desig nat ed .. distin- be considered impossible to attain. ...

"This is the sort of thing that any faculty member cou ld asp ire to , .. Rising added . The award is a great honor. the professors a~reed , but it"s no! the kind that changes hves. "It helps the ego, but does not help me in doing my research, ... Ruckenstein said . "Still I work. And at 62 I don) work less than at 32." A member of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences since 1973, Ruckenstein has also been the recipient of a Kendall Award in colloid or surface c hem ist ry from the American Chemical Societ y, a creativity award from the Natio nal Science Foundation, and the Semor Hu mboldt Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. " I was very pleased - although I don~ know whether I deserved it," said Geo rg lggers. a distinguished professor of history since 1978. and a faculty member for more than 20 years. "But the fact that we're distinguished professo rs doesn't give us any special privi leges. It hasn~ changed my ro le in the University. I do prelly much what I'd done before." A specialist in European intellectual history. lggers was recently awarded the E r as mu s-Ki ul er Medal of th e Technical U ni ve rsi ty of Darmstadt (Ge rman Federal Republic), th e highest honor bestowed by that universi ty. orne professors suggested .ways to improve the award s. S"The award co uld be made to mean lggen Lon. Mit's particularly important to me because I work in educallon. To receive a Leaching award says, I guess, I'm doing some things right." A highly respected authority ilt the field of mathematics education, Rising said he received the 1986 distinguished teaching award probably because of his extra efforts in working with student$ outside the classroom. He hu also been the recipient of the I)UNY OwlceUor's a little more, in terms of discussions on a scholarly level, and in somewhat greater support of research ," lggers said. Distinguished faculty could have more input into the administration of the Universit y, for example. "There is very little contact here between faculty and ·administration," he pointed out. " I think this is true of most American universities, which distinguishes them from West German universities where faculty play much more of a role in decision-making. Mit would be nice if there Wl're some more research money," lggers added. Ml find the $1,000 useful but limited . I use it for some of my foreign travel, or add it to the departmental money for speakers. But there's only a very little I can do." not her area that could stand A improvment is the nomination of U B faculty to the professorships, said Rising, who is chair of th e SUNY Chancellor's advisory co mm illee for the select io n of distinguished teach ing professors. "For far too long we have simply not taken the responsibility to put forward these outstanding faculty members," he said . .. Bingham ton, o ne of o ur sister campuses, made a big point of saying they have more of these awards than any ot ber SUNY campus . I think that kind of claim comes from th e number of nominations the y put forward rather than th at they have more outstanding fac ult y." Some campuses are more diligent in their nominations , Rising said, even to the point wbere theyll subm it a nomination for the same professor year after year in the hopes th at the professor will even tu ally be named to a distinguished professorship. ... We turned down a nominati on last year that was the fourth from o ne department at a college and it was clearly an "it's your tum ' kind of nomination," he said. "The message is that these things are being awarded to the people who put fort b the nominations." Risi ng said (..,t year bis committee received about 10 nominations for the distinguisbed teaching professorships; abo ut half were chosen for the award. He also took issue with the SUNY stipulation that potential distinguished teaching professors spend at least half of their time teaching undergraduates. Teachong, os teachmg, he said, whether the faculty member teaches graduates o r undergraduates. T Mllgrom Kelter here are visiblity problems with the awards as well , Rising added which may stem in part from the fact that winners announoed often after scbool lets out for the summer. "There are a great mtU.y faculty who _ never bear about the awards. I had a • little feeling that they waited until everybody was gone, then sneaked it in " Rising said, joking about his ow'n award. o are Rlalng �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Three divers emerge from 8-day test Distinguished Professor ~ 1n recognize ~·tn: m m the achievement of fame and field as a result of origin"'! co nt ributions.

Agee returned to promote his latest book, On the Run, which chronicles his life si nce leaving the C IA. Agee, who raised the ire of many C IA people with his first book Inside the Agency: CIA Diary ( 1974), detailing his personal participa ti o n in CIA o per atio ns in Ecuador , sa id those words from Bush must mean he is d oi ng so meth ing right. uring his two hour-pius lecture and question-and-answer period. Agee, who served as an agent from 19571969, described his career in the CIA, the agency's history, and its methods of undermining foreign governments. He a lso talked about his problems gelling back int o the Uni ted States. " I stayed away from here because I thought there was a secret indictment against me," said Agee. ··sut no action has been take n so far ... That's not to say it's been easy for him to come back to the S tates, though . Agee was forced to get a passport from his .. fri end s in the Nicaraguan government" and then en ter the coun try through Canada in order to sidestep American restrictions on his travel here. That aside, Agee began chronicling "We've all heard Reagan say how he wan ts to restore democracy in Nicaragua," he said . "W hat democracy does he want to restore? The o ne with the military dictatorship of (Anastasio) Somo<a? Or t he o ne when U .S. Marines controlled the country'? " I say God save Nicaraguc from restoration of democracy by the Uni ted States." Agee then said that si nce the C IA is not r~ally involved in restoring democracy, it must conduct covert activities in order to maintain the U.S. Constitution - a document Agee claims discriminates agai nst 90 per cen t of the population. , .. The Consti tution wrote out over 90 per cent of the population,- claimed Agee. "It excluded women, non-land own ing men, Nat ive A mericans. blacks - o nl y those who owned the country were allowed to participate in the political process . " I tbink th e govern men t is still controlled by t he eli tists who wrote the Constituti on 200 years ago, " he added . "It st ill protects the interests of th ose who own the country. The CIA serves those interests. I think C IA operations wi:J be arou nd as long a.s the Co nstitution remains the same ... A her telling of t<~ expe riences. Agee gave the audience some background on how the CIA ca rries ou t its assignments. , .. There were t hings we were engaged in that were called special activit ies ... he said . "That 's Washington Ja rgon for covert action. "Some of these covert actions incl uded paramilitary activities, which is what is g~ing on right now with the Con t ra.s in Nicaragua.... said Agee . .. Others were called liaison activities ... Liaison activities are when the C IA sets up ano ther country 's intelligence agency and then uses it to get the information that the CIA needs. .. We've done this sort of thing in a number of places, like Iran, South Korea, and Greece," said Agee. "'I'm sure the CIA has been wor king wi th (EI Salvador's President) Duarte's security forces - which are the sa me th ing, and have the sa me members. as the death sq uads. The CIA has probably trained and eq uipped them." He added that he feels the liaison activities are the .. nastiest" ones th e C IA employs as they involve assassinations. A D political murders. and tortures . ... So, we have to ask ourselves, 'Why does the U.S . do this?,'" said Agee. both his history in and the overall development of the CIA. "The C IA was formed because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor," said Agee. "The government .needed . an agency which could gat her mformatton so the possibility of another sneak attack co uld be avoided. "The U.S. needs a professio nal inte lligence gat hering agency," added the Notre Dame graduate . "But 11 should be used to kee p peace, not launch terrorist wars like it has done under the Reagan Administration ... As he told about his years in the Agency, Agee described how widespread CIA activities were in Central America. whe re he was based . .. We had presidents and sena t o rs from Latin Ame ri ca on the payroll." he ~a id . .. We even fanned whole political panics and established and controlled trade unions ... Agee added that journalists _in foreign co untri es were also substd1zed by the CIA, as well as \ario us. TV and radio stations and their employees. "Money makes it all work." he said. .. Our job was to maint ain stabili~y in those countries so that trans national American companies could come in... Once stability was bro ught to an area, th e C IA would then compile an ...enemies list" of leading op position members to the government. Agee charged. The list , which was constant ly updated . p rovided the agency with information such as home addresses. famil y data, phone numbers, and places the person co uld be found at certain times. so the governmen t 's intelligence agenc y could keep tabs o n its opposiuon . ~ gee then lit into the Reagan Adm iniStration for purposely not correcting the drug problem . "Do Reagan and Bush really want to stop the drug problem'" he asked. "For every gheuo kid wh o gets addicted to heroin or cocai ne. that's o ne less politi cal activist who co uld help rewrite the Consti tut io n .... In other areas of his lecture. Agee said he suppons the Russian occ upation of Afghan istan beca use without the Russians there would be a terrible "blood-leu ing" a mong rival rebel factions. When asked why he thinks the A merican public, as a whole, doesn) support Soviet actions in Afghanistan. Agee res ponded, "The United States is ta ught to like a nyo ne who kills a Russian ... He also said he believes the recent flak surrou nding Panamanian stro ngman Manuel Noriega revolves not arou nd drugs - as has been claimed in the med ia - but aro und the U.S.'s a!lempts to get the Panama Canal Treaty revoked before it goes into effect in 1999. " If the Republicans a re able to do that, it will be the worst thing to happen to our Ce ntral American po licy this century," predicted Agee. Agee is the author of fi ve books and currentl y lives in Madrid. His lecture was sponsored by the Co mmillee on Latin America. 0 Philip Agee, whom George ·.Bush calls 'despicable,' tells all about the agency's darki side � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The University had requested a total of $6.5 million for the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research, President Sample told the University Council Thursday. "We were seeking matching funds for year two and year three of the contract. Four million dollars would come from the deficiency budget for 1987-88. Another $2.5 million would come from the 1988-89 executive budget." U At this point, Sample said, it looks as if "we will gel $1.5 million from the deficiency budget and $2.5 million from the executive budget." Sample is "optimistic" that the $2.5 million shortfall will be restored . He ts also pleased that the $2.5 million already provided is apparently bemg included in the Science and Technology budget, rather than being lumped together with SUNY monies. The Umversity had lobbied hard for lhts inclusion. • Though he is "deeply concerned" about the center's future, Sample wd ..everyone in the State underst~s that this is not a SUNY -Buffalo project. It is a State of New York project. Certainly, we've had a lot of encouragement that we will get the (extra) $2.5 million either in this budget, when the full numbers are revealed . or as part of a supplemental budget that ma y be adopted in June. I'm just saying that somewhere along the line . we. have to get that S2.5 million. "It would be a terrible, terrible mistake for the State to back away from this project. This is the State's only big win in big science"' in recent years. Sample said. The budget provides no funding for teaching hospital support, something U B had identified as its second biggest goal in the recent lobbying effort . According to SUNY, there were million in needed funds that were not addressed by the Governor's original executive budget proposal. This figure included a S6 million restoration for personal services (PSR) fund~36 . 5 ing. It also included monies for OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) , general equipment replacement. a technology mostly computer upgrade, and utilities. Utilities, said Sample, are SUNY's " black hole." Requested were $2.5 million for 1987-88 utilities and $14 million for the 1988-89 budget. The legislature provided only S8 million of the $36 million left out of the governor's initial proposal. "If that whole S8 million goes into utilities, then we have a big problem," said Sample.

W~tern New York would enjoy expanded export markets and sales and increased stabilit y, divenity, and economic health, the director of the trade center says. James E. McConnell, UB professor of geography, says the development of the: corridor would be significamJy enhanced if !he free lrade ag reemen t signed by President Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Mulrone y is enacted by lawmakers in both countries _ The corridor runs from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus coun ties in the Southern Tier through Erie and Niagara counties, and extends through St. Catharlnes, Hamilton. and Toronto the industrial heartland of Canada. Expansion of the corridor, McConnell says, could include expand ing the existing expon base of Western New York manufacturing firms; increasing the number of foreign direct investments made in Western New York by Canadian companies; increasing the number of American and Canadian companies conducting business in and through the area's foreign trade tones; and forming a partne"hip between American and Canadian universities and private-sector and government agencies to promote research, legislation , and other cooperative ventures for the long-term development of the corridor. F T he Canada-U.S. Trade Center will assist i n this development by advancing basic and applied research on the economic interactions and related issues between the two countries and their other international trade and investment partners. McConnell says. Special emphasis has been placed on the movement of commodities, sc:rvices. technology, people and capital investments, and the policy issues associated with these movements . The center will provide ...start-up funds" to UB faculty and students to research Canadian-U.S. trade issues. One of the most important potential benefits of the Canada-U .S . trade agreement is the creation of new jobs, McConnell says. In addition to the immediate impact on employment in expo rt-producing industries . exports have a ripple effect on other industries nol direct.!Y involved in 1he1r production. Using figures updated from a study he initially conducted in the 1970s, McConnell estimates 18 ,000 to 20.000 new jobs both directly and indirectl y related to exporting could be created in Erie and Niagara counties over the: long term if the potential for new export sales is realized in tbe two counties. Increased employment also is lik•l y if the free trade agreement leads to an increase in the two-way flow of new direct capital investments, he says . If enacted, the free trade agreement would increase the Gross National Product from 3 per cent to 9 p.::; cent in Canada and a small fraction of I per cent a.n the U mted States, estimates Paul Wonnacott of the Wash ingtonbased lnslltute for International Economics. Although the gain in the GNP would be less for the United States than for Canada, the agreement wouJd increase the size of the Canadian market for U.S. industry by about 7 per cent. U.S. firms already located in Western New York and those that locate here from other parts of the country would have an advantage in marketing their products and services to Canada while retaining ownership and mana&ement of their operations, McConnell adds. T he trade center will further trade development by providing business services to governmenl agenc1cs and private-sector companies 10 the Unued States, Canada and posstbl) ot her foreign countries. he says. These services include generating a computerized data bank on Ca nad ianU.S. economic interactions and characteristics of the border eco no mies of southern Ontano and Wesu:rn New York; dispensing informatton gathered during center-sponsored resea rch projects; organizing seminar~ and workshops on issues related 10 CanadianU.S. -trade and investment activities: "New UB center hopes to encourage development of jobs related both to exporting and to free trade. p~eparing marketing studaes and provtdmg other trade-development assist~nee to business executives: and provid~ng contacts, consultants, translators. mterpreters, and ot her needed services to businesses on political. economic, cultural and trade ma..Lters . Another function of the center is to encourage policy makers to maintain open and stable trade between the two countnes. McConnell says. " T he main reason Canada entered mto these trade negotiations was because_ of the uncertainty of what's happcnmg ~ 0 the trade environment in the U.S: Wtth respect to foreign countnes trytng to do busi ness in the U S " he says, noting that many U.S. ia~!Dak.ers are ~dv~atmg more protectionast trade legaslataon.

The place must look like a zoo." Volunteers crowd every available seat and sofa as they slap address labels onto WBFO program guides. Back ~n the studios, construction is obviously m progress. Bruoe Allen, interim general manager of WBFO, continues his tour of the station, racing at breakneck speed. ~This is Jim Nowicki , our new operattons manager ." All e n introduces anyone who walks by. "Have you ever been here before?" asks Nowicki. "Does it look any different?" It looks a lot different. :n what used to be an office a new studio takes shape . Radio equipment has been moved in, ana sound panels are being installed . In the middle of it all a reporter sits clacking away at a manual typewriter. "Meet Mike McKay," says Allen. Everybody is startlingly hospitable, perhaps the result of working with volunteers. "Do you want some cqffee?" offers Nowicki. "How about some pizza?" T he staff is in the middle of a fund- raising drive that has them working seven days a week and living on coffee and the pizza and subs they send out for. They'll endure ten da ys of this before it's over. "I feel fat," says Nowicki, who, despite his complaint, looks fit. "I shouldn' eat that junk." Nowicki explains that he's just come to WBFO after 16 years in commercial radio. "Public radio was new to me ," he admits. "I dido' know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the equipment and by its condition." WBFO is a non-eommercial public radio station operated by the University. A good deal of its money is raised by pitching for support from listeners just the way they do it on public TV - except on public radio their voices are much less annoying. In fact, everyone in the plaoe seems to have a beautiful voioe. "You have to work at that," intones Nowicki. "When we get up in the morning, we sound like Mickey Mouse." WBFO exists to serve UB and its community, but it's by no means a "college radio station," explains Allen. "That's the old image we're trying to shake. We're not just a college station. "We're trying to be as competitive as possible. WBFO is in the process right now of professionalizing the entire staff and tr8lning the volunteers who worlr. with us. · "We've brought in a whole lot of new people. Scott Thomas (associate news director) , Carol Anne Strippel and Mike McKay (reporters), Jim Nowicki. Wilma Bertling (ad ministrative assistant) - this is just the newest wave of people we've hired to make the station so und as profess ional as possible." began about wo years ago when T Linda Graoe-Kobas stepped in as inte- he process of professionaJization 1 rim general manager . Grace-K.obas is now the University's director of news and broadcast services. and Allen has continued the project she began . The effort has begun to pay off in a big way. " We've upped our rat ings." boasts Allen . " And our fund-raisers! We've almost doubled the amount of money raised per year. "This is almost like taking a car that wouldn' run and putting a new engine in it. Now all of a sudden it's starting to chug along, and as we go we're starting to pick up speed. " Allen and Nowicki agree that man y ingredients go into making a successful radio station. " First we had to make sure that we all sounded lilr.e we were working at the same station, ... says AUen. other steps have been taken M" Intoanyourimprove the quality of WBFO . news department they've created an entirely new program called 'The Fifth Coast,' " says Allen. "It's going to be competing.for professional aWards for the ftrst time in the station's history, rather than the college category awards. We're going for as many professionaJ awards as we can in all categories .... .. The Fifth Coast" is a newscast designed for Western New Yorlr. and Southern Ontario. , "It's a half hour that we think matches the network as far as quality goes," says Allen . .. We're one of the few stati ons in the area that covers Canadian news. We do it because Canad ian listeners support us, .. explains Alle n . ... CommerciaJ sta· tions don't do it because the Canad ia n market doesn't co unt in the ratings services."' A decision like that highlights the unique nature of public radio . They are answerable to their li steners directly. If an audience doesn\ lilr.e so mething, they won't send in any money to pay for it. The station is very interested in cultivating good relations with its listening benefactors, and in finding out what's on their minds. Currently, there are about 5000 members of WBFO - listeners who have contributed money, and who WBFO Manager Bruce Allen. receive the monthly program guide. A regular feature of the program guide is a listener questionnaire . This month, for example , the "Fifth Coast Issues Ballot"' asks listeners to · respond to questions about public transportation in Western New York. Their answers will be used to crea te a news story. In ventive use of Jislc:nc:r question· naires has gotten the stat ion some nat ionaJ attention . "Newsweek and the BBC called. interested in doing their own, ,., says A llen ... This is unusual for a station of our size ... In addition to the public ser· vice broadcasting, o ne of the stat io n's goals is to imp rove service to the Unive rsi ty. Some ideas in the works include shows run by UB professors. a UB Law program. a UB health tip of the day to be arranged with cooperation fro m the Erie County Medical Center, and a half-hour interview show with live call-ins on University topics. At the moment WBFO i's applying fo r grant support for a nationally syndicated half hour science program that will be put on satellite and beamed to stations across the country. Allen hopes the program will serve the public, and at the same time help promote research at the University. "It's a double~ged sword," says Allen. "We want to build the station to serve the community, and the University as well." 0 Lebenthal honored for work in nutrition E manuel Lcbeothal, professor of pediatrics at UB, was honored recently for his work in infant nutrition and gastrointestinal disease. The honor was bestowed at a program commemorating the Holocaust called "The Jewish Physician's Commitment to Future Generations: Lessons from the Holocaust." It was sponsored by Cbabad House of Buffalo. Lcbenthal is director of the International Institute for Infant Nutrition and Gastrointestinal Disease and . chief of the Division of Gli!!troenterology and Nutrition at Children's Hospital. His commitment to the problem of hunger and the world's children h~ made itself felt all over the globe. Hts research contributions have enabled Third World nations to stem the specter of infant malnutrition, chroojc diar- rhea, and infant mortality. In 1984, he received the International Prize of Modern Nutrition for his outstanding contributions on the impact of gastrointestinal development on infant nutrition . .He bas published 132 original research works. The program helped to commemqrate the Jewish community 's observance of Yom Hashoab, the Day of the Holocaust. Myron W~ n international ex~rt on nutrition who is the R. R. Wtlliams Professor of Nutrition and professor of pediatrics at Columbia University, was- the featured keynote speaker. His address was · on "Hunger Disease - Studies by the Jewish Physicians in the Warsaw Ghetto." He discussed the medical contributions made by Jewish pbysi~ans who were themselves interned in the Warsaw'Ghetto in the pre-war and World War II years. _ Most of the doctors did not survive their imprisonment , but their research on the deteriorating conditions all around them survived to enable mod- ern medical ~archers lilr.e Lcbenthal and Winick to malr.e breakthroughs in hunger disease. Chairing the scientific commillee for the evening's program was Herbert Hauptman of the Buffalo Medical Foundation who is a Nobel laureate and a research professor in the Department of Biophysical Sciences ~~ U B. Also serving on that commillee were Leon Farbi, chairman of the Department of Physiology at U B; Robert Warner, professor- emeritus of the Robert Warner Rehabilitation Center of Children's Hospital, and Milton Weiser, director of the Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition at UB. 0 Dr. Lebenthal --------------- �Aprtl 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 1,570 attend Buffalo EPA By CLARE O'SHEA The Buffalo Convention· Center was packed last weekend.

And that was just the lobby. Inside were more than 700 lectures. sy mposia . papers. exhibits, and posters - all part of the Eastern Psychological Association's 59th a nnual meeting. Co-sponsored by UB, the four-day conference showcased the work of 1,400 researchers and drew 1,570 participants from the U.S. and severa l fo rei gn co untries. Intense 12-hour days included symposia on sleep and on crying; 20-minute talks on alcohol behavior, boredom , depression, and adherence to conventional morality, and more than 200 poster presentations on topics ranging fr o m unpl an ned pregnancy to test a n xiet y to narcissism in bodybuilders.

IHIIfl$1 his is a persC!nal stateme~t. made solely m my capac11y as a member of the 8 La" T School facuhy . No other member of the facultv was asked or permitted tO join m the statement. and no other person is responsible fo r its con tent s or opinions. I did not seek the permission of anyone to distribute it. Recent newspaper items about a ''Statement" by the UB Law School faculty have not been long on facts. Facts. of course. would only hamper some of those who have been issuing "condemnations- of the faculty Statement. And headlines and editorials are hampered if a situation calls for more than two or three catchy sentences. But fhe disrortions, deliberate and other- wise, can be identified only by setting forth the details of events occurring sin~ January of 1987. Summary statements. referrring to .. ugly incidents ... sanitize matters too much and permit those who desire to distort to create whole cloth from patches ripped from the whole. During February through April 1987 , anonymous , written note" were placed in the mailboxes of at least four female law students. Such notes were reported to have bec:n placed in several other female student mailboxes, but I had no verification in the form of copies of the statements. (I was dean of the Law School at the time. but have not been sin~ De~mber 3/ , 1987.) There are more than 700 open boxes on a wall. in an unsecured room. which serves as student mailboxes. A list of st udents is on the wall by the boxes, with each student's box identified by a numtxr. One such anonymous note began (capitals, spelling and underlining as in the note): "you're voted, and U B's choi~ for FRUIT of the Month ," "it's official," and included further slurs, saying, for example, the person .. is an absolute 'sucker' for blond wrestlers (cum clean, what were you two really doing that night)," the person "looks like Charles Laughton m drag," and much more similar slime. Another of the notes stated that a woman's place is .. work.in' for her man," and that .. Feminists cannot accept this reality because they have not been able to achieve it yet feminism is a sou r grapes attitude, or more likely a crutch for not being able to achieve th is reality." And another statement included the observation that .. if's about time feminists ove rcome their hangups and accept it, .. i.e., that their place is .. under" a man . Another add ressed the target as "bitch" and advised her to stop talking in class. Keep in mind that these were not anonymous bandbiUs, stating general "principles," handed out in the hallways; these were not anonymous statements posted on a wall. They were not anonymous slingers stuffed in all open boxes. They were anonymous, wntten notes placed in less than a halfdozen mailboxes of more than 700 o pen mailboxes. and directed to the specific students. By mid-April one of the female students fou nd such a written, anonymous note in her mailbox. along with a small teddy bear. approximately 7 inches long, with the head ripped ofT and red nail polish dabbed in the nee~ area of the toy. At this point I authorized a request that Universi ty security offi~rs be called in to investigate the matter. Security was unable to get any fingerprints or discover any other leads as to the identity of the perpetrator. Also. in mid-April, one of the female students found one of the written anonnymous notes in her mailbox. along with pieces of dog excre ment wrapped in foil. That was not the first appearance of such a statement in that student 's mailbox . Indeed, since that time. that same female student has had the tire on her car slashed in a school parking lot. That, too. was reported to Public Safety. eep in mind the facts: these anonymous, written notes were placed K in the open mailboxes of less than a half-<lozen of more than 700 students. Most of the female students receiving these "communications"' were in the first-year class. Toward the end of the spring /987 semester, after we had notified Public Safety, I went before a meeting of the three first-year sections. in a classroom, and was very specific in describing what had been happening; and I stated, in no uncertain terms. that it was unacceptable cond uct and investigation was under way. I did not hesitate to say tbat if I could successfully iden tify any student responsible for such cond uct , I would see that the character committee of whatever bar they sought admission to would be informed. Shortly after that, I was informed of graffiti on a toilet stall in the men's toilet, on the second floor of O'Brian. This example of "free speec h" had been scrawled : .. To many niggers in the law school." It was appropriate that the word "too" was misspelled by the ignorant dolt who ..communicated"' the .. message ... I immediately notified maintenance so that the slur could be removed . During that spring semester of 1987 , si milar racially derogatory statements were written on the desk area and rolldown movie screen hanging from the ~iling in classroom 107. When informed, I immediately requested mamtenance to remove the graffiti from the desk and render the scree n inoperable. Later, wo rd s attributing lesbian tendencies to a named female student were written on the wall, next to a pay telephone in the Law School bookstore area in O'Brian. The wot'ds were painted over. The next day , the words were written again, in the same spot. Again. the words were painted over There was a regular. monthly facult} meeting of the Law School facult v on May I 5, 1987 . The Minutes of thill meeting state: Tht> Dean reponed on a number of incidents of anti-gay and anti-feminist harassm~nt which haw occurred since January and of his atensi\Je effons to investigate these anonymous acts. as well as to discourage their recurrence. A recommendation was then made from tM floor tluzt t~ firstyear orientation committu s~cif­ ica/ly focus on this is.na. A committ« of volunteers• • •was then formed to draft a faculty statement c:ondrmnin& tbis harassment and the attitudes givto it. and making clear LoKI School's intention to purs~ all appropriate sanctions against studencs found to be responsible for such acts in the fwure. I have ad ded the emphasis in the above quotation from the Minutes . in'c rise the A t the beginning of the fall semester 1988, at a faculty meeting, the faculty die adopt a "Faculty Statemen t Regardi ng Intellectual Freedom, Toleran~. and Prohibited Harassment. " There are five paragraphs in the Statement, consisting of more than 50 lines. It was not a short, punchy, glib statement, readily adaptable to headlines and one-liner throw-aways. The first paragraph of that statement observes: "Every intellectual communlly worthy of the name thrives on sha rp "Media reports on a Statement by the Law faculty,tlave not been long on facts. Facts, of course, would only hamper some of these critics . ... " and heated controversy - on the free and full expression of opposing ideas and values; on impassioned arguments for, and equally passionate argument5 against." The fourth paragraph of that Statement begins: "We <Jote wtth dtsmay recent acts ofluuassmtnt, intimidation. and assault against persons of color and other groups wbicb have taken �April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 The op1n10ns expressed 1n "Vtewpotnts " p1eces are those of the writers and not necessarily those of the Reporter We welcome your comments. 1 place on campuses around the country, National Lawyers Guild and of the Federalists (Mr. Jipping·s organization. representing his political views). Both share offices with other student o rganiz.ations. The range of organizations includes a legal fraternity and a group of law students as Parents. Indeed . last yea r, when, because of the space crunch, it was necessary to reduce the number of offices allocated to student organiz.ations and further consolidate them, I had a meeting with representatives from all of the organizations and offered my suggestions for new pairing. includi ng the possibilit y that the National La\lorytrs G uild and the Federalists might share an office. Neither group appreciated my h11moc. and opted for other co-tenant:a. Professor Michaels decries that ·~there is not one conservative on the Law School faculty." My. my. does he really believe in .. quotas"'? He should and which have often gone far beyond the bounds of constitutionally protected speech .... It continues: Concern regarding such inappropriate and often outrageous behavior compels the faculty to add a clear and specific warning concerninx any such acts 1hat may occur in this school. It is the pol· iC}• of this LAw School t' rake strong and immediatt steps . against any and all such "!ha\11or. 1he means of doing so wr/1 always be informed by the facul· tyS strong commitment to the requi"ments of d~ procen but will not be limited solely to the use of ordinary UniYusity disciplinary procedures. There follows immediately, a reference to character and fitness committees which stand as a bar to admission to practice. I have added the emphasis in the above quotes. It war in th~ pr~ceding paragraph, the third paragraph. before the reference to "acts" and sanctions, that one finds the statement about .. remarks .. and the faculty readiness to "openly condemn n ... racist , sexist. homophobic and anti-lesbian, ageist and ethnically derogatory statements, as well as other remarks based on prejudice and groups stereotype." Following the adoption of that Statement by the facult y. it was posted at the Law School and circulated to the Law School community. Shortly after· wards, I was interviewed by the · tw student newspaper, The Opinion. and emphasized that the specter of "sane· tions" was directed to acts of the type which had been widely publicized tn the Law School community since the spring of 1987. No one in the Law School community could have been reasonably unaware of the type of incidents which had occurred during the spring. and which I specifically described to the first-year class in a general meeting held for that purpose. I stress that the faculty of the Law School did not issue a two-sente nce statement of abstract policy, a manifesto for distribution generally to th e world. The Statement of the faculty was part and parcel of specific developments within the Law School community: it was a message to the members of that community, all of whom should . have been aware of the incidents; and 11 was a message directed specifically to those specific developments. That is the conrext of the adoptton by the Law School faculty of a "Statement Regardtng Intellectual Freedom, Tolerance. and Prohibited Harassment." '· N ow comes Thomas L. Jipping and his campaign to save the Ftnt .Amendment from Law School destruc· tion. Mr. J ipping was a student in the Law School during the time of these events. He is too smart a lawyer not to know better, but he rips parts of the faculty Statement out of context and submits an extended argument cast in terms of "content" regulation and "chill· ingn of exP.ression. But I will not dignify Mr. Jipping's extended argument with analysis and response, because I do not believe it is made in good faith as a First Amendment concern. Mr. Jipping's agenda is mon: accurately suggested, 1 believe, in the quote attributed to him by the Buf· falo News. 4 11 7/ 88. page 81 : "While I've been here [i.e .. the Law School]. I've encountered a number of things called racist and sexist that normal people would nol have labeled as rac1 st or sexist."' There you have it. Who are "normal" people? Why, people who agree with Mr. Jipping. This was apparent when he came to my office to raise the issue. early in December of 1987, and talked of bemg ··chilled·· tn his expression while a student. I submit that the appearance of the Statement did not increase Mr. lip· ping's imagined oppressior:t. ~nd ~ts deletion would not dent h1s 1mag1ned .. chill ... Debating the Statement as a First Amendment issue is a smoke screen. Mr. Jipping appears to resent the fact that his political views were not shared by a majority of students or faculty at the Law School. Now he wants to create the impression that persons with his political views risk being -chilled "' into not expressing such views, or being punished in grades for a course because of expressing such views. Mr. Jipping·s agenda has been made clear in the follow-up on his argument by hi s cohorts in later issues of 1he Opinion. . . . It is no accident that Mr. J1ppmg 1s quickly joined in his assa ult by Profes· sor Michaels. The Buffalo News. 4/ 19/ 88, presents us with Professor Michaels giving his vin tage perfor· mance as the hovering ghost of the late Senator J oe McCarthy. He is referred to as a professor of .. hi~tory. and communications" at the Umverslty. More accurately, that should be .. miscommunications ... In his best McCarthyite style, he refers to "an office of the National Lawyers Gutld at the UB Law School." which "taxpayers should know .. about . He doesn't know if it is a .. Communist front, .. but .. some say that it is ... Facts are not Professor Michaels' strong suit. (And it is not likely anyone would mistake him for a professor of ethics.) ore than a dozen law student organizations in the Law School share several offices, two or three to an office, mostly three. Two of those student organizations are chapters of the M "It is mindless sophistry to suggest that the anonymous letters were not intended to intimidate ... intended to harass ... intended to do harm. clear that \lollh Mr l1pping. lest he not be ··normal."

Secretary 8ennell. as he ha!l repeatedly demonstrated, Simply has a big mouth and small regard for truth. It is a bald-fac:td . outright lie to characterize t his law faculty as a mon olithic. politicized group. As I empha· sized in several statements to alumni, when I was dean. this law faculty is a diverse group. representing a range of vi ewpoints both in their political views and their views about legal education . But the point of all this is that the so-called protest about violation of First Amendment principles is only a cove r for a desire to attack and suppress the political views some Jaw faculty a nd some law SlUdents may have expressed. and which Mr. lipping, Mr. Michaels. and Secretary Bennett strongly disagree with. gs: B ut . then, putting aside the lippingMichaels-Be nnett attacks designed to promote politicaJ viewpoints. what of David Jay. who is quoted by the Spectrum, 4/ 15 / 88. page 8. as sayi ng "I speak on behalf of the NYCLU." and quoted in The Buffalo News, 4/ 17 / 88 , page 81, as saying: "The faculty of the Law School went overboard. Anyone has a right to be a fool and be nasty, sexist, or racist. Free speech means we have to put up with these things."" Simple-minded sophistry. I repeat, simple-minded sophistry. Anonymous notes directed to specific individuals. and placed in less than a half~oz.en student mailboxes out of more than 700? Dog excrement'? Is it that. after aJI, dog excrement, at least when neatly wrapped in foil , is j ust a form of symbolic speech. like armbands and the like? It is mindless sophistry to suggest that the anonymous letters which triggered the faculty Statement were not intended to intimidate .. .intended to harass .. .intended to do harm . As I have stated, these were not anonymous statements of perspectives. however vile, in handbills or posters directed to all the world . This was no discourse. And it docs not take much knowledge of First Amendment law to know that context is critical in judging whether there is ··contc.~nt·· regulation. David Jay asserts the law faculty .. went overboard." as quoted above, and in the Spectrum he IS quoted as saying: .. 'swift condemnation' to my mind means academic sancti on." He was not unaware of the contex t, he had the entire statement for examinati on; a nd in drawing that conclusion - in spite of the next paragraph of the statement which is explicity directed to sanctions - David Jay "'went overboard "' with his knee-jerk reaction. My dictionary provides two options for ...condemn": to express strong disapproval of.- and .. to pronounce guilty . to convict." But, of course. Mr. Jay needed the second o ption. in disregard of the context of the Statement and the structure of the paragraphs, in order to bolster his knee-jerk reaction . M r. Jay may "speak for the: ' ' YCI l ·.··but he does not speak for me.· ( l h•n·e been teachmg constJ IUIJona/ Ia " fur 35 \ears). and I will not be dcpri\Cd of m~ First Amendment•nght.. 10 .. i.:undcmn·· ("exprcs~ ~t r ong dJsap· pro \ aJ of"") 1he 1gnorant and 'de graf· fill ··To(o J many m~r~ 1n the Ia" ~chou!.·· C\'en when it ·~ ··po<ited'" in the todct. for all the world to sec as a pan of Mr Ja\ \ F1 rst Amendment .. discour~c .. (Change that to approximately fift) per cent oi the world: the toilet is not a unasex toilet.) Alongside David Jay, stands Nat Hen toff. who has pronounced for the nation. in The Washington Post . 4 9 88. page A25 . that "The First Amendment has been suspended by .. the UB Law School faculty. When Mr. Hent off spoke to me on the telephone, I referred him to the current administrati o n for comme nts, excep t that I was willing 10 describe for him, the eve nts of the spring of 1987 which triggered the faculty Statement. His response? He cou ld see no difference between the parade in Skokie and the several anonymous notes. directed specifically to several female students, and placed on ly in those several mailboxes: I emphasize. again, this was not an instance of a pamphlet being put in all open boxes. or even randomly in some. Any person who cannot see the difference in First Amendment law between those two things, is simply not competent to make a judgment about -whether the First Amendment has been suspended. Finally, I rnight add that by the fall of 1987, there was no repetition of the events of the spri ng of 1987. I will not be so bold as to assert that there was a causal connection between my action as dean and the faculty Statement. However. I am confident that it will now be more likely that such despicable events will occur again , given the encouragement from the cheering section of . Jipping-Michaels·Jay-Hentoff. I do not include Mr. Bennett in the cheering section, because he will be long gone, down the road a .piece. sha.king his pom-poms at his next .. discovered .. fictional threat to the safety of our society. 0 �April 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 THURSDAY. 28 NEUROLOGY PROFESSOR ROUNDStl • Dent L•brarv.

The reason it has gone on so long is that the Reagan Administration wants to make an example of Randall , he insisted. According to Cole, no INS official gave any meaningful attention to the writings. The writings. according to Randall , express opinions that are "contrary to those of the administration, but shared by thousands of Americans." They include criticism of sexism and racism in the United States. and a belief that women in Cuba are better off under Fidel Castro. than they were under Ful gencio Batista. ""Many people state these views in much stronger language," she said . .. There are a number of issues in question here , among them certain primary questions: Can there be freedom of expression in this country? Can one have an opinion dissenting from that of the administration?" I By JIM McMULLEN he wants to remai n in the United States. but native-born Margaret Randall, feminist poet, author. photographer. teacher and o ut s poken critic of U.S . foreign and domestic policy. hasn~ had an easy time doing that. Si nce 1984. the Imm igrati on and aturalization Service (I S) has been attempting to deport Randall . she contends. based on the content of her writings. Randall was joined in speaking here thi s week by David Cole. her attorney from the Center for Co nstitutional Rights in New York City. At the present time. s he appears to have won her bailie. Randall rel inqui shed her American citizenship in 1967 in favor of Mexican citizen!'hip. ··1 was not making a political sta nd . I was si mpl y making the best deci sion I could as a mother. ·· said Randall. She explained th at . living in Mexico City. her economic situ3tion fo rced her to find a bel!cr job to support herself and her small children. Thts requi red Mexi- T can citizenship . At the time, she was not fully aware of the consequences of her decision . Randall then spent I I years in Cuba and four in Nicaragua . In 1984. she returned to th e United States and applied for permanent residency. That application was denied by the INS. a deci sio n Randall has been fighting for the past four years. The INS bases its argument for Randall's exclusiOn o n the provisions of the McCarran-Walter Act , which states that entry to the United States may be denied to anyone whose writings .. advocate the doctrines of world communism, .. said RandalJ. Represenrarives of rhe INS ha ve presented three conflicting views concerning Randall"s writings, said Cole . The official who first rejected her application stated that her writings did not exactly fit under the provisions of the act. But this official said the writings went .. way beyond mere dissent·· from U.S . policy. Hence. she could not be accepted as a permanent resident. ~ _ ~ ffi if o ~ The seco nd official, a judge who presided over Randall"s appeal. had a different view. In his view, Randall s hould be allowed lO remain here , based on her community involvement and family ties. But her writings, the j udge said. clearly fit under the McCarran-Waher Act. so he denied her petition . The judge"s decision. said Cole . co ntained virtually no analysis of how Randall's writings ''ad vocated the doc- Margaret Randall trines of world comm unism ... The third argument against Randall was made by the INS allorney who handled her appeal to the nati onal INS headquarters . That attorney argued that Randall must be deponed in order to make a statement against suc h criticism o f U S . policy . he McCarran-Walter Act was adop ted in 1952 in res ponse to Cold War hysteria about the threat of communism. said Cole. It has been used to bar such li terary giants as Nobel Prize win ne rs Gabriel GarciaMarquez and Pablo Neruda from the United Stat... "It is fundamentally wrong." said Randall. "The law is reall y an offense to all of you American citizens. who have a right to hear divergent opinions, to hear. wo rk with. or argue against people with those opinio ns. "My case is important only because it is a pan of this much larger picture. " Her case appears to have a happ y ending. Congress has suspended. for one year , the provtsto~ of the McCarran-Walter Act that ts relevant to Randall"s case. As a result, the INS announced that Randall would not be denied permanent residency. Still, the INS has not produced residency documents for her. The Center for Constitutional Rights is continuing its effort to have the McCarran-Walter Act declared unco nstitutionaJ . 0 CALENDAR Undu Multiplt---OOK Capacity-Umittd Elimination Kinetics.

Right wing blamed for stigmatizing AIDS victims "H By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN ow a disease is used metaphoricall y can imply a moral or social judgment about the individual with lh at disease," said UB Professor Norman Solkoff in a talk Tuesday. ~The AIDS patient is said to be suffenng from the wages of sin and moral pollution." Such statements can have detr imental effect on the patient's morale and self~teem , Solkoff said . . Solkoff, a psychologist who teaches •n the Depanment of Psychiatry. was prese nting a lecture on "AIDS as Metaphor. .. He applied concepts originally developed by Susan Sontag in her book Illness as M~laphor. Sontag examined the effect of stereotypes of cancer and tuberculosis on the course of the diseases. According to Sontag. society places a sug ma on victims of certain diseaseS, such as cancer. In her view, society places a burden of guilt on the patient by making disease a metaphor for evil. Solkoff said certain stigmas associated with AIDS are due to alti tudes loward the two groups most likely lo co ntact it: homosexual male s and in travenous drug users. According to a definit io n Solkoff uses, a stigma is a " bodil y si n destgncd lo expose something unusual and . bad about the moral status of an mdtv•d-' ual. ·· Solkoff sees th e right wing as pro p aga t ing th is stig ma i n AIDS patients, its focus being "s in or 1mmorality. ·· He continued : "The si n of the homosexual (is) a stale of being, the si nfulness o f hom osexual behavior, the immorality of sexual overindulgence or promiscuity, or the sin of one's inability to control addictive beha viors . .. Because of the anti-gay nature of the "straight" societ y, aggravated by the A IDS epidemic. said Solkoff. man y gay people choose to pass as heterosexuals. "It may very well be a stratel!y for survival ," Solkoff sa1d , noting antihomosex ual actio ns in recent years. Sometimes these actions are cloaked in such a way as to appear medicall y or politically valid. as in the refusal of hospitals to treat AI OS patients by claiming a lack of hospital beds. Solkoff also pointed to the eviction from their apartments of homosexuals and ph ysicians who treat AIDS . All of these are claimed to be means of preventing disease infection, but to 'r.he homosexual community they are .. homophobic" attempts at persecuting gay people. he stig mas that AI OS patients experience hinder the treatment of the disease . Solkoff said he agreed "with Sontag's concern with the unfair- .. ness to a person already burdened by T the ph ysical sufferi ng of a disease to have t he added load o f the socie ty's myths, fears, and delu sio ns abo ut the d isease .... Also . the diseas( is no lo nger mere ly a malle r of health .

"Because A IDS has become so politi cized. it may very well be that it took us a longer time to recognize the S(riousness of the disease, ... ..said Solkoff. He compared the ignorance of the general public about AIDS with the ignorance that once surrounded sy philis. In short. the fact that AIDS is a political issue has impeded the treatment of and research int o the d isease. The st igmas, stereotypes, and images associated with AIDS als o end up huning the victims' morale. .. Escalation in the use of unsavory imagery has been reinforced by the anitude s of Christian fundamentalists . conservative Catholics, and onhodox Je ws toward the high risk groups, especially homosexuals who are viewed by the assemblages as engaging in unnaturaL si nful activities ... uberculosis is a diseast: that was T often glorified in the literature, poetry. a nd social outlooks of the last century. according to Sontag. Tuberculosis is a disease of the lungs, whereas cancer can be anywhere in the body. Even so. "lung cancer is fell to be less shameful than rectal cancer, " in Sontag 's view. Likewise with AIDS. said Solkoff. Because of the way it is con t racted and its association with other sexually lransmil!ed diseases, AIDS is a disease that people are ashamed to have, he stated . The lack of co ncern for AIDS victims disheanens Solkoff. He said: "The AI OS epidemic is telling us some im portant things about ourselves. (O ur) co mp assion is reserved for those who are stgnificantly like we are and not for those who have become pan of the margins of society." 0 �April 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 Political issues may block NIH funding, Knox says By CONNIE OSWAL D STOFKO T he National Heal!h ( l IH ) m o nev in Institutes of ne ed more "to take advaniage of the new op poro rder tunities that mcdJcal scie nce is making po ssi bl e ." but iss ues such as fetal resea rc h may beco me stumbling blocks for getting that funding. said Franklyn G.

''The use of fetal tissue has so me ve rv important researc h and therapeut iC im pl ica tions at th is poi nt in time.

"Certain controls are important. but a complete ban o n fetal research is not in the public's interes t.

"h's vital to con tinue the toxicologic studies for the health of future generations."' he said . Fetal tissue can also be used therapeutically. he noted . For example . fetal tissue imp lanted into people suffer ing from Parkinson's disease seems to be more effective than mature ti ss ue in treating that illness. Another poli tical 1ssue involves the very few but highl y publicized incidents of fraud in biomedical researc h. Kn ox said . ..

Ketter , director of the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research and leading professor of engi· neering and applied sc iences , is expected to be named a Distinguished Service Professor by the SUNY Trustees. The honor recognizes "disti nguished service to the calftpus, SUNY , the community, the State of New York or the nation." A member of U B's faculty for the past 30 yean, Keuer was the University's president from 1970-1982. In 1985, he was named director of the Earth· quake Engineering a nd Systems Dynamics Laboratory here, with the facility later receiving SIOO,OOO a yea r for three years to become one of the University's self-suppo rting research centers. In 1986, he was named director of the S50 million National Center for Earthquake Engineering Re se arch , which ts located here and s ponsored by the National Science Foundation with matching funds from New York State and other sources. Before his tenure as president, Keuer was chairman of the Civil Engineering Department and dean of the graduate school. In 1967, he was named U B's first vice president for facilities plan· ning. In this position. he was responsi~ ble for much of the planning, design and cons truct io n of the Amherst Campus. In 1987, the University dedicated Robert L, Ketter Hall, the S4 million home of the Struct ures an~ Geotechni· cal Divisions of the Department of Civil Engineering. In 19 86, Ketter was named an honorary professor of engineering at Beijing Polytechnic University and also an honorary fellow of the China Academy of Building Research. He is a member of numerous international and national honorary. scientific, and pro~ fessional societies and organizations. He is a prolific writer on technical and educational topics. Ketter received his bachelor's degree in civil engineering· in 1950 from the Univers ity of Missouri at Columbia, and his master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees in 1952 and 1956 from Lehigh University. 0 �April 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 Kirk Brundage ing music in the conservatories there,., said Williams.

They are keys to a deeper under.aanding of self, and th e gateway to the rich interpretation systems of other cultures. Ted lock , who joined the UB faculty in September as associate professor, says dreams, dream sharing, and dream interpretation have been neglected by anthropologists until quite recently. As a cognitive symbolic anthropo_logtst, she didn't have much interest m dreams until she did field research among the Quiche Maya of Guatemala. There she and her husband, Dennis, UB"s McNult y Professo r of English, were .. initia ted" as ..daykeepcrs ... the first stage in a nine-level sys tem that trains official dream interpreters and healers. Because of their training, the couple can interpret illnesses. omens. and dreams, according to the Quiche Mlya system . They also know about QuichC astronomy, caJendrical matters. and herbal treatments for various ills. Barbara Tedlock . who has also studied att itudes toward dreaming of the Zuni of New Mexico, says the .. QuicheS share their dreams informaJiy among family members and formaJJy in sociaJ groups ... n.eirs is an inli!fia~e setting in which dreams are enlhustasllcally comingled with daily existence and looked to for direction and meaning. In her new book, Dreaming: Anthropological and Psychological lnterprelalion.s (Cambridge University Press), Tedlock writes: "In sharp contrast with Zuni practice, daily sharing or reponing of all dreams, whether evaluated by the dreamer as 'good ' or ' bad." is the cultural ideal .... Quichc!s insist that everyone dreams every night~ children who have no dream report after a night"s sleep may be told that the y did indeed dream and that they should try 'to catch the dream, ' si nce dreams are lucky. "All dreams, whether 'good" or ' bad," even including small dream fragments , are shared im mediately in public and private discourse ... with relatives and friends; important dreams involving the gods are ...discussed at length with initiated daykeepers, who are the official dream interpreters." In shon, the Quicbc!s see these nocturnal happenings as richly metaphorical messages from their ancestors. In the world of the Quichc!s, as in other nonWestern cultures, there is not the gulf between the mind and the body as there is in the West, says Tedlock . nterviewed for "Bodywatch," a WGBH-TV (Boston) production, Tedlocli: says that for the Quiche Maya, the only way to know the self is through the dream. "You need to find out what the message is." While dreams do not have the same importance to the Westerner, "there is something to learn from the QuichCs," she says. "Dreams don' have to be forgotten." They can be used for greater self-li:nowledge. Tedlocli: points out that the Quiche system has parallels in modern scientific knowledge. • Barbara Tedlock's research blends the anthropological & psychological Pan of the system is that the daykeeper, if asked to interpret a dream. must respond on the spot. This reponer can barely resist trotting out last week "s litany of diffuse dream "messages." Asked if she would have to interpret on the spot at a faculty cocktail pan y or waiting for the bus, the answer is yes~ t the dreamy Tedlock is also the cady scholar and accomplished researcher. Her book on dreaming is an outgrowth of a seminar she con.vened in 1982 at the School of Amen· can Research in Santa Fe . She writes: .. By the time 1 convened the seminar. . .I felt that I had found a serious working group of scholars. who, while they were happy to present their own research and theore tical orientations. were also willing to listen to other ..participants who represented other, even traditionally opposed. positions. ""In our week-long meetings, we tried to find new avenues by whic h to bring the st ud y of dreams. dream sharing. and dream interpretation o ut of its marginaJ position (in anthropology) .·· As news of her dream research travels through academic circles. others are eager to hear about it. Ted lock has given presentations before a Jungian group in Santa Fe and a group of psychoanalysts in New York City. "They found a number of things that were similar" among the interpretation sys' terns, states Tedlock. Tedlock is interested in all ""indigenous systems of curing" whether in the mind or the body. She is fascinated by the Quic hes ' close connection between curing the spirit and healing the body. Tedlock"s next level of immersion in QuichC culture calls for training in midwifery. At the same time, Tedlock emphasizes, she is interested in med icaJ anthropology and also loolts at things from a decidedly Western viewpoint. This summer, she and two graduate students, Deborah L Crooks and Laura J. McClusky, will journey to Guatemala where they will study health care and nutritional stress among the Highland Maya, the result of a Biomedical Research Suppon Grant. "The overall goal of this research is to identify and measure the current nature and future outcome of nutritional stress, especially among women and children, in order to be at\je to offer. .. international healthplanners,... poss1ble btomed1cal and social solutiOns to the serious problem of malnutrition there." I "AU healthy adults experience four to five REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep periods, or dreams. of between 10 and 40 minutes' duration each 90 to 100 minutes during seven hours of sleep," Ted lock points out. So dreams are both universal and frequent, and therefore make ideal subject matter for the anthropologist. As a daykeeper, Tedlock takes very seriously her role as a dream interpreter. . Tedlotl(lias been invited to join the Graduate Group in Cognitive Science here. Additionally, she has received a Conferences in the Disciplines Grant to organize a 1988-89 lecture series on "Symbolism and Cognition in the Human Sciences."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

By ANN WHITCHER • See Freshmen, Page 2 ,- �April 21, 1988 Volume 19, No. 25 Senate discusses abolition of phys ed requirement S By ANN WHITCHER hould the phys ed graduation requirement be dropped? The requirement came under the scrutiny of the faculty senate at Tuesday's meeting. Last year, two senate committees .. argued against doing away with the two-credit physical education requirement."' Their feeling, said Senate Chair John Boot, was that resources should be .. boosted .. t o meet the demand created by the twocredit requirement. However, he said, members of the senate's executive committee are now in favor of keeping the requirement .. pure and simple,.. with no reference to the availability of resources. Director of Athletics Nelson Townsend told the FSEC that resources fo r the requirement are available. In one year, he said, only about 12 students requested a waiver of the requirement. Boot says he doesn't view it as an academic requiremenL But Ed Michael of Athletics said the requirement is a way of equipping students with "at least one lifetime sport activit y... Jacob Bergsland of Surgery agreed, citing evidence that such a requirement contributes to a st uden t's all-around education and helps him o r her perform bettef academically. Walter Kunz, administrative dean, Di visi on of Undergraduate Academic Services, said the requirement may fall into the University's supc:rnumer~ry credit hours: The State Education Department, he said, mandates 120 hours. "We have 128."" But Charles Ebert of Geography said .. we are just kidding ourselves if we think .. that the requirement has an y real effect. Those who deSi re fitness. he argued, will pursue it on their own. Still, he joked , he'd like to see a graduation requirement that all st udents "do one push-up and jump two feet.How is the phys ed requirement far· ing at other uni\l'ersities, wondered Edward Hovorka of Psychology. Boot said .. th e trend is to do away with it. often for the same reasons given here." Provost William Greiner voiced his opposi tion 10 the requirement , termif!g it ··silly .. when part of the academ1c menu . Moreover, he said , .. by the time a kid graduates from high sc~ ool in New York State, he or she ftas been exposed over and over to many lifetime sports ...

Boot said the Sarjeant proposal might allow the matter to be solved before .. it gets right into the Uni versity's formal bureaucracy and structure ... Michael Metzger of Modem Languages suggested that an individual ac:cused of misconduct ought to be so tnformed earlier than the present document calls fo r. If the person isn' adequately informed at a sufficiently early date. he said, this could leave the University open to a grievance procedure later on.George Hochfield of English thought the Sarjeant proposal was "a good one" but wondered if the posi tt on described wasn't analogous to a s~ctal prosecutor. In any cast, Ezra Zubrow of Anthropology said, the proceduno outlined .. must be as expllcu as possi ble."

This study is sponsored by the American Council on Education (ACE) and UCLA's Graduate School of Education . Surprisingly, interest in engineering and technology continues to decline nationally. The 1987 study shows that freshman interest in engineering has fallen by more than a fourth since 1982, while preference fo r computing careers has declined by more thao twothirds during the same period . This is one of the few areas where U B differs widely from the national norm s : Twenty-nine per cent of UB freshmen will likely choose engineering as a career. compared with 13.3 per cxnt at all public universities. Business, say the stud y authors. continues to attract more students . ..The risi ng popularity of business among college freshmen is in part attributable to the growing number of women wh o plan to pursue business careers: this year 22.0 per cent of freshman women plan to enter business careers .... lndeed, women now outnumber men in some business fields : for e xample mor e freshman women than men plan to enter accounting ... The 1987 national survey is based on questionnaires completed by 289,875 freshmen entering 562 two- and fouryear institutions. Survey officials used 209,627 of the questionnaires from 390 institutions to compute the 1987 freshmen norms. At UB, 1829 entering students participated. The CIRP stud y also compares UB with other public unive rsities and with so-called "high select" public universities, such as the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the University of Illinois. In the latter category, the mean combined SAT score for entering fresh men was above 1100. Questions on the survey involve a wide variety of student opinion on social and personal issues, in addition to purely educational concerns. US's Office of Institutional Studies administered the survey last summer during freshman orientation. UB was able to attach eigbt questions on topics of local concern. The CIRP survey found that teacbing is of growing interest to American freshmen, up by more than two-thirds as a career choice since 1982. "The rising interest reflects the overall climate in education; the public is ooce again interested in education, salaries are up, the jobs are there, and the demographics point to cootinuiog stroag demand," the report DOtes. The same caonot be said for interest in the bcalth care professions. For instance, the proport>oo of freslunao womeo interested m oursin& careen bas fallen by more than half since 1983. Also, interest in medical careen amoag all freshmen bas dropped to 3.S per ceot in 1987, down from 3.7 per cent last year and the peak of 4.0 per cent in 1984. • The study also lbows that more women woulcl prefer to become dcx:tors than nurxa. Additioully, the 1987 survey reveal~ that "Dearry equl proportions of men and womeD hope to become physici.us. In tm, the fJ3W1'1 A record number of freshme n nation ally (75.6 per cent) identify "being very well off financially " as a top goal. Also amportant are .. being an auth ority in my chosen field " (77.2 per cent). For 71.3 per cent of freshmen, "to make more money" was a key reason for attending college. By contrast, less than two-ftfths of this year's freshmen identify "developmg a mearungful phtlosophy of life" as ao essential or very importaot life goal dowo from 40.6 per cent in 1986 and 82.9 per cent in 1967. Just under ooe-ftfth of freshmen oatiooally described themselves as politically conservative in 1987 (18.3 per cent actually, dowo from 18.7 per cent last year and 19.6 io 1981.) The study authors add: -rhe proportion of those ideotif;ri;ng tbemselves as liberal bas . beeo riling slowly in recent years, up to 22.2 per ceot of the 1987 freshmen . .. However, the proportion of 'liberal' freshmen is "llill weU below the peak of 3S.3 per cent posted in 1971." The political category of "middle of the road" bas experienced the most I!I"QWI.h in recent ye&J:S, O<:COuolinB for S6 per cent in 1987. This year's crop of freshmen endorses several traditionally liberal positions.

More than 20 companies and universities provided exhibits for the conference. Argonne National Laboratory displayed a superconducting motor that dramatically demonstrated the levitating power of superconductors. UB provided a display from the laboratory of Hoi-Sing Kwok , Ph.D., professor of electrical engineering, to show participants the latest development in thin film technology. By DAVID C. WEBB his week's conference on superconductivity opened with an announcement by Assemblyman William B. Hoyt that his goal is that the New York State Institute on Superconductivity will be funded with a total of S9 to SIO million from the State. Chairman of the Assembly Standing Committee on Energy, Hoyt is one of the primary sponsors for the biU that will provide S5 million in funding to launch the institute, headquanered at UB. Held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Buffalo April 18 to 20, the three-day Confenonce on Superconductivity and Applications brought together about 300 scientists, engineers, and • others to discuss the possibilities of high-temperature ceramic superconductors which were discovered last year. "I don~ think theno is anything in Albany that I am prouder of than the establishment of UB's Institute on Superconductivity," Hoyt said. Also. he said that the Western New York delegation is concerned about the funding for the National Earthquake Engineering Center, headquartered T A here. National Science Foundation officials indicated last week that if matching funds are not provided for the eai'thquake grant, the center will be in trouble. Hoyt said that he shares the UB administration's goal to make the University one of the great resear.ch centers in the United States. he seco nd opening speaker, Lt. Gov. Stan Lundine said that the United States has a tremendous advantage over other countries in the global competition for ideas and economic development, especially in supe rconductivity, because .. we are a melting pot.... Lundine also mentioned that he was delighted that UB announced a new development in the manufactuno of superconducting thin film ~(see accompanying story). "We here in New York are at the frontier of science," he said. Institute Director David T. Shaw, Ph.D., professor of electrical and computer engineering, also announced the start of a new monthly journal, Super- T n aide to Senator Daniel P. MoyniIOln, Andrew Samet, spoke to participants about a bill which Moynihan is sponsoring in Congress to restan a project to build a prototype of a magnetic levitation (maglev) train. "New York State has the potential to become the maglev center of the country , if not the world.'' Samet said, adding that sevefaJ institutions in the state are working on superconductor research. including Brookhaven National Laboratory and UB's State-wide Institute on Superconductivity. In the 1970s. funding for a United States project to study maglev trains was stoP.ped. In the meantime, Japanese and West German researchers continued their projects. Full-Scale prototypes have already been tested in those countries. Scientists who worked on the U.S. ma~ev train project presented ~apers dunng the conference. In addiuon~ a representative of Technova., Inc., in Japan prl'Stnted tbe latest developments in the Japanese maglev project in a keynote speech. Robert Giese of Brookhaven said that the new high temperature superconduc tors may mean lower material costs. lower refrigeration costs. lighter methods of shield ing passengers from the high magnetic fields. and greater nex ibility in design. if they can be applied to maglev trains. The German prototype does not use superconducting materials, but it relies on conventional high-powered electromagnets, while the Japanese prototype uses conventional superconductor materials refrigerated with liquid helium.

WEBB dentists at the New York State Institute on Superconductivity announced Friday the development of a single-step ~rocess which a llows the incorporatton of superconducting materials into semiconducting devices. The UB scientists have demonstrated that superconducting materials can be deposited in thin films at 400° Celsius (752° Fahnonheit), a lower temperatuno than ever demonstrated before, ensuring a high quality superconducting film. A demonstration of low temperature processing of ceramic superconducting thin mms was performed at a pnoss briefing liy doctoral student Sarath Witanachchi under the supervision of David T. Shaw, Ph.D., professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the institute, and Hoi Sing Kwok, Ph.D., professor of electrical and computer engineering. Apf?lication for a patent on the process ts being made. ~ · With this new process, thin mms can be developed in a single step without tnoating the ceramic superconductor at a high temperatuno with oxygen. In pnovious methods, the thin fi!m was given an oxygen tnoatment whtle being beated at temperatures of 700" to S Celsius (1 .292° to 1.652° Fahrenheit). This tnoatment normally lasts over half an hour. Incorporation of the supercond uctor into semiconductor devices is virtually impossible with the previous methods. because of an upper temperature limit for base materials at abou t 450" Celsius (842° Fahnonheit). "This has been a major bottleneck for superconducting material processing and fabrication of semiconductor devices," Shaw said. The new process can deposit thin films at a temperature of 400° Celsius, lower than any other process developed . "We were able to eliminate the high temperatuno annealing process by the application of an oxygen plasma to assist the di=t formauon of the superconducting phase," Shaw said. In UB laboratories, a yttrium, barium-<:opper oxide thin film was deposited on silicon and was shown to superconduct, or _lose all =istance, at 73 Kelvin (-328" Fahnonheit). Critical cumnts weno also shown to be strong (100,000 amperl'S per square centimeter). A superconductinl! ·material was depositcil on strontium lltanate as well. "With the low deposition temperatuno, we are noady to make multi-layer structures for fabricating electrical devices,~ Shaw said. 9()()0 The process uses an excim~r ultra violet laser to vaporize the material and deposit it on another material in an ionized oxygen atmospbeno.

Under the direction of Physiology Professor Claes Lundgren, Dan Anderson, a physician, Jerald George, a technician, and Dominic Del Rosso, an engineering student, are being continuously confined in the 20-foot-long, seven-foot-in~iameter chamber, locaLCd in Sherman Hall. Lundgren said divers are often exposed to atmospheric pressu res on the body far greater than those found at sea level. The chamber being used, he said, has the widest pressure capacity of any in the Western world . It is capable of not only simula ting pressures to 5700 feet under water but also to 100.000 feet in altitude. T his is the first s uch "d ry·· dive to be conducted a t rhe UB facility which has been upgraded by funds from the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the Facult y of Engineering and Applied Sciences . .. Pressure exened on the body at sea level is 14. 7 pounds per square inch (psi)." said Lundgren . But as one goes deep under water. the press ure increases in relation to the depth of the dive. The participating di vers are being subjected to pressure some two and one-half times that found at sea le vel. These greater pressures cause an increased amount of nitrogen to be taken up in blood and tissues - a co ndition that musl be gradually reversed before the divers can safely come "topside." If this gas exchange or decompression is not performed properly and the divers surface: too quiclcly, they are apt to fall victim to a condition called decompression sickness or .. the bends ... ..The diver who experiences this medical condition complains of severe: pain in the joints and other organs caused by the nitrogen bubbles which remain in the tissues," Lundgren explained. The presence of nitrogen bubbles in the blood may lead to emboli which can be life-threatening. Although guidelines CUfl'ently exist for determining the oxygen pressure and time in the chamber for safe decompression of divers, the procedure is a time<onsuming one that is costly in renns of man-hours for companies within the diving industry. "Depending upon the length and depth of the dive, decompression may take from many hours to several d ays." Lundgren said. T he UB experiment will be im portant in determining the o ptimal oxygen press ure required for gas washout fro m blood and tiss ues by examining a variety of press ures over the seven-day period.

Sponsorship of athletic events by tobacco companies is common, complains Alan Blum, M.D. There's the Marlboro Recreational Slr.i Challenge and Camel Ski Days. And the Camel GT Auto Race 1111d Camel Ptofessional Motorcycle Race. Check out the Skoal insignia on the backs of the pit crew as they furiously labor over a repair. It "s hard to miss the huge Marlboro logo displayed during baseball games at Shea Stadium, even if you're watching the game on television. ESPN and TNN, national sports networks, show virtually continuous tobacco-sponsored sporting events all weekend, he noted. But in what Blum calls a "real breakthrough," one U.S. team is going to an international competition, not under the name of a tobacco company. but under a pro-health banner. The U.S. Boomerang team rejected an offer by the Philip Morris company to sponsor the team to the tune of $15,000, Blum said . Now the team hopes to raise S12,000 before it competes in an international tournament in Australia May 6-15. The team includes Barnaby Rube, who was featured in a Rtporttr article about boomerangs on Aug. 29, 1985. The team is tiny. but Blum hopes that if such a small team can stand up to powerful tobacco companies, it will give others the courage to do the same. lum, who is in family medicine at Baylor University School of Medicine, is founder and chairman of DOC (Doctors Ought to Care), an antt· tobacco group. Speaking at UB last week, he called for a ban on tobacco advertising. Tobacco is the number one preventable cause of death and disease in our society, says Blum. who is the former editor of the New York State Journal of Medicine. About 3 million Americans have died since 1981 due to smoking, notes Blum. That's a lot more than the 18 000 to 25,000 deaths due to AIDS in the $arne period. "Yd tbere's not one single U.S. senator supporting a ban on tobacco adve~­ tisin$," he said. "It's the Mane Antotnette attitude - let them eat smoke." It could be "argued that by now people should know better than to smoke and should merely ignore cis~tte ldvertising. But tobacco ldvertwng, , especially at ~porting event&, pandcn to the very people ·who don' know better B ~ Dr. Alan Blum wants to change the U.S.'s 'Marie Antoinette' attitude toward smoking kids and the poor, says Blum. Advertising undermines the understand ing of the risks involved with smoking. Blum said he's worried that the Philip Morris Company will be successful in its attempt to sponsor the World Soccer Federation championships in 1994 and make the company's name "synonymous with the fastest growing lr.ids" sport in the country." The famous soccer star Pele advertises Tang in children's comic books and magazines, he noted . Kids also see him wearing a Marlboro T-shirt. Both products are made by Philip Morris companies, Blum said . K tds aren \ just buying cigarette$. they're buying brand names. Blum said . and they're wearing T-shirts emblazoned with cigarette logos. "Every lr.id knows the Marlboro cowboy , " Blum said . "'If cigarette advertising is aimed at adults, lind me one guy who started smoking in his twenties because he saw a cowboy on a billboard." r· o combat tobacco a~sing, DOC is paying for counteradvertising. That's a big difference between DOC and other groups, Blum noted - DOC buys ads. .. Tobacco companies know how to get kids, but we don\ do as weU," Blum said. "Public service messages don\ do a thing." "Dippy" slogans like "We're li!!hting for your hfe" don\ get out the message that smoking is bad , it just conjures up images of asking for money for test tubes, he noted.

The people who have less education and less money smoke the most, Blum said. and an argument could be made that there would be a market for cigarettes there without advertising. But tobacco companies increase that market through advertising, he said . T he tobacco companies also donate money to black and Hispanic organizations. The companies pretend to do it through a sense of civic responsibility, but it's just a payoff to keep their market. Blum charged. People within the minority commun~ ity, such as black publishers t fie accomplices, be added. "I call it suigenocide," Blum said. "I think black publishers have sold out the black public, and they know iL" Blum plays no favorites. "I attaclc. blaclc., Spanish, and • Jewish orpnizations equally.. he said. _ He lays ew;n more · blame o n the mass media than be does oa tobacco com- ~~~~~~~~~=~~ panies since the media "know right from wrong." NewspaPfrs will run editorials against smoking or a series encouraging people to quit smoking, then tum around and take money to advertise cigarettes. The irony came through on Blum's slides: one showed the front cover of Tune magazine with an article on med~ ical costs; the back cover is a cigarette ad. In Canada, the I 0 largest newspapers forgo cigarette advertising, and there's a bill pending called C-51 that would prohibtt it. But most papers in the U.S. don\ even report on the Canadian bill, much less follow suit, be complained. Some American newspapers say it•s a First Amendment issue and they feel they must taJc.e the ads. WbjJe they1J take a stand against smoking, tQey're careful to never say a nasty word about the powerful tobacco companies, Blum said. e noted that these diverse corpora~ lions also manufacture food and other goods, and "nobody is willing to take on RJR Nabisco or Philip Morris ... He pointed out that the ad agency for Nabisco cookies was recently fired because it created an ad for Northwest Airlines that cheered the prohibition of smoki ng on the airline's flights. Nabisco and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Inc. are both subsidiaries of RJR Nabisco. "The real key on this to remember is that they aren\ dive~ifying to get out of the tobacco business, but diversifying to insulate the tobacco companies, .. says Blum. "Virtually all of thetr profit comes from tobacco ... Blum also had harsh words for university faculty members who press for divestment of faculty pension funds from companies that operate in South Africa, but won\ divest from lucrative tobacco companies. "South Africa" bas become a buzzword, he said. "'We care about buzzwords , not issues," Blum said. ~If we did, we would care about the millions of people dying, and not Sj!)C- that's what they deserve." He also criticized faculty members who take research money from tobacco companies to study topics like nutrition. "It's really hush money so they won\ talk about thinKS like smoking and heart disease," Blum claimed. A tobaceo company that studies nutrition is like a person who builds an orphanage, but burned down the village 10 the first place, be said.

But, when I asked where I could get these cotton items (I could only think of Fruit of the Loom), they co uld only suggest stores in Toronto and New York, boutiq ues and shops that were bound to be too pricey for my budget.

My mother didn't let me down: silk jackets and Thai painter's pants arrived in the nick of time. Clearly, my mother had been an avid fan of "Love Boat.

Ordinary cotton will do for just abo ut everythi ng here and a few batik shins, inexpe nsively made here, will carry one through almost any fo rmal occasion, even a state dinner or diplomatic hobnob (in false expectations of which, I brought a black bowtie with me. one of my greatest vanities). The Tweeds and I would agree that non-synthetic fabrics are most comfortable in this part of the world, where it is crucial that the body must breathe. I would add that non-syothetic fabrics (one of the few remaining class indices in America) are important because they allow the body and ooe's consciousness to register the slightest variations in the temperature, humidity, and degree, as well as direction, of wind; and these small variations and one's awareness of them constitute, I have discovered, part of tbe pleasure, as well as the displeasure, of living in the equatorial tropics. 8 efqre I went to Turkey a few years llj!O, my ftnt long leave-taking of Amenca sina: my adolescence, a good Buffalo friend and I agreed that one of the keys to meaningful travel was difference , a set of cultural contrasts through which one would learn something about the world and one 's own country.

Nationally synd icated columnist Nat Hentoff claJmed in the April 9 issue of The Washington Post that the "Facult y Statement Regatding Intellectual Freedom , Tolerance, and Prohibited Harassment violates First Amendment guarantees of the free speech of law students here. Hentofl's claim, said Law School Dean David Filvatoff, is incorrect. Neither he nor Associate Dean Lee Albert thinks th at the sta tement . endorsed by the Student Bat Association , is unconstitutional. "The conflict is n' that large," said Lee. "The issue has really grown in importance because of the attention it has gotten in the media" .. Tf students are concerned and read into it somethin·g that was never intended, then in that sense we have a "Fools have a right to be fools and bad ideas will die of their own exposure," objectors to faculty statement argue. ment authorities. There is general agreement on the point that the acts cited have no place m the school. The current controversy centers on a section of the statement regarding student speech. The statement•s third paragraph explains that racist or sexist remark$ "will be ill-received" and that such statements . .. as well as other remarks based on prejudice and group stereotype. will generate critical responses and swift, open condemnation by the faculty , wherever and however they occur." What that means is that faculty will re.~pond to inappropriate comments with verbal condemnation. not formal sanction, said Filvaroff, who took over as dean of the school after the statement's adoption. "I expect that in the process of settling this issue it will be made clear that we never intended more than that. .. F ilvaroff is cenain that the FS RB will make a recommendation for faculty action that will .. eliminate what seem unwarranted concerns ... .. Rewording the statement is a possible solution, but not the only possible solution," said Alben. He did not rule out the possibilit y of eliminating the third paragraph from the statement. He added that the nature of the objections is well understood by the faculty. Those objections are most clearly stated by Thomas Jipping, a 1987 graduate of the Law School. Jipping was among 12 students who expressed opposition to the statement at a meeting of the FSRB on Friday. problem, ... said Filvaroff. To address Jipping's concern with the statemenl that issue, he has asked the school's Faculty-Student Relations Board (FSRB) to look into the matter. The FSRB will make its recommendation to the faculty sometime in the coming week, according to chairman Nils Olsen. is twofold . He feels that the faculty are proscribing speech solely on the basis of content , in violation of the Constitution, and that the labels given lO speech, subject to such sanctions. are overly broad and political. Jipping contends that the paragraph would remain unconstit utional even if the language were more spec ific . because .. open condemnation" of speech is in itself a sanction against such speech. he statement was adopted on Oct. in response to a series of harassing, in timidating events directed at women, blacks, and homosexuals in the Law School during the 1986-87 school yeat. Anonymous. threatening letters were sent to students, animal feces and beheaded female dolls were found in mailboxes , and racist graffiti was scrawled on walls, according to Alben. The statement warns of sanctions for .. acts of harassment, intimidation, and assault against persons of color and other groups" that might occur here. The sanctions include notifying the character and fitness committee of .. any bar to which the student applies, " as well as state and federal law enforce- T2 ondemnat ion coming from an authority figure such as a professor will have a "chilling effect" on speech in Jipping 's view. It will make st udents unwilling to freely express themselves verbally. he said. The fact that University professors are S1ate representatives makes this a Constitutional matter, he stated . Buffalo attorney Davi d Ja y. a represen tative of the New York Civil Liber- C ties Union, agrees. "You couldn' find a clearer example of an anti-free speech statement, " said Jay. He added : "Fools have a right to be fools and bad ideas will die of their own exposure. Content-based prohibitions on the expression of those ideas should not be tolerated." "The oven intention of the faculty is to chill undesirable speech. They have created a mechanism whereby they can eliminate that speech altogether." Jipping said. Filvaroff said the faculty does not want to produce a chilling effect on pure speech. At the same time, the school bas an obligation to ensure that it is hospitable toward people with the broadest ran$< of ideas and also to all groups, he saJd. The faculty statement was intended to ensure that those groups are not discriminated against by word or deed . he said. Jipping funher contended that the statement reads as if the labels given to prohibited speech have self-evident definitions. These definitions are political and subject to interpretation, he said. "The faculty justify this statement on the grounds th at it promotes- justice and equality. I want to know whose version of equaJity and justice I now have to promote. The language is very political. " T he solution. according to Jipping, is to remove the third paragraph from the statement. That would leave a strong policy statement dealing with harassing conduct, stated in clear and uncenain terms, he said. He added that he can' understand why the faculty feels it must address the issue of speech. "When you supp ress speech. you suppress debate, " said Jipping. Filvaroff said there was never any desire to stifle the expression of ideas in or out of the classroom . "The free expression of ideas and open. vigorous argument is what educa0 tion is all about , .. Filvaroff said. Bennett says UB Law is 'leftist haven' - like Berkeley & Harvard B officials were not in the least dismayed Monday in the wake of Secretary of Education William Bennett's criticism tha the law school here is a haven for liberals. .. As far as I'm concerned, this is flattering," Vice President for University Relations Ronald H . Stein told the U tion. Filvaroff had neither seen nor read what the secretary had lo say. Bennett has never visited the UB law school as far as Vice President Stein knows. Filvaroff, too, was at a loss to explain wby the secretary had singled out UB . Robert W. Keller, a pattner in the firm of Hodgson , Russ . Andrews. .. The secrerary is paying Woods and Goodyear and presidenr of attention to leading U.S. universities. " Bennett had lumped UB with Berkeley, Harvard Law, Danmouth , Smith College. the University of Massachusetts. Colby and Stanford as being a mong the worst offenders for what he termed "left wi ng intolerance to conservati ve viewpoints."' At Stanford aitd on othe r campuses. Bennett said. liberals are far too ready to use charges of racism and sexism as "'trump cards to stop the debate'' on important issues. U B Law Dean David B. Fil varoff told th e News. "l would not back away from being called a liberal law school at all. •Liberar implies freedom of exchange of ideas. which is what education is all about. .. Filvaroff said that in juxtaposing UB with Harvard and Berkeley. Bennett had done nothing to upset him. " I think we should be nattered:· the dean told the News by way of an initial reac- the Law Alumni. told the NeK'S, he is not aware of any basis whatsoever for any claim of any stilling of conservative views at the law school. A law school policy on " Intellectual Freedom. Tolerance. and Prohibited Harassment , .. however, has come under recent criticism (see accompanying sto ry). Bennett made his remarks at a New Orleans confe rence of the National Writers Association on Sunday. ..The thing that worries me most, .. Bennett said of his perception of the si tuation at the schools he mentioned, .. is not the explicit shouting down .. but a rather a more subtle, quiet kind of intolerance that suggests that all so phisticated and intelligent people are of one view. That•s a left view, and if yo u're not of that view you're sort of out of the party, you're son of out of sync Such attitudes. Bennett said, have no place in the university. 0 Buffalo N~ws .

'88 Next president will have to heed call of ·Latin America By ANN WHITCHER atin America probably won\ play a bij! role an the presidential electiOn, but the nation's next leader should heed the call of this important neighbor. This is the view o( Gary Hoskin, UB associate professor of political science L and an expert on Latin American poli tics. .. Traditionally Americans have not bee n interested in Latin America, e'<ct pt for crisis situations, .. said Hos''" - This attitude, be said, is reflected '" the candidates' lack of emphasis on Latin America in their campaigning. Still. Hoskin hetieves that the cand idate~· positions on latin America will ha' c some impact in states with large H1spanic populations, such as Califorma. Florida, Texas, Arizona; and New \1cxico. r ,e n the Iran-Contra affair is "fadtm! as an election issue," Hoskin b<lJcves. " If the Sandinistas are still there when Reagan is ready to exit, and ,r l '. S. diplomacy fails to to)'ple the Sand mistas, there is the possibtlity of a I \ invasio n, but I view that as un li .cly... Ht: co ntinued: the sit uation in \ tt·aragua changes to the point that it (Jn be dubbed a new addition to the '"'' ll' t-Cu ban block. this is a different m..t ll t'r But that's not going to happen b ~ t'ln.:uo n time ... regard to our Latin American policy than they have differed. I think that's reflected in the (presidential) candidates as well." For instance, Democratic Sen. Albert Gore supported the Contra movement in Nicaragua and also the invasion of Grenada, Hoskin said. "Duk.alr.is is more liberal toward Latin America in the Kennedy variety. Gore is more in the Johnson mold." Dukak.is is a strong supporter of the Arias Peace Plan and bas met with President Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica on several occasions. In 1986, Dukakis refused to send National Guardsmen from his state to Honduras. He is characterized as being "antiContra" and speaks Spanish fluently. Jackson, said Hoskin, falls outside the consensus with respect to U.S. pol- icy toward Latin America. ··He's much more supportive of popular mo·v emeots and Third World, revolutionary processes than any of the other candidates." But a President Jackson would be more centrist. ...That's inevitable, .. Hoskin stated. I n Hoskin's view ... the Democrats, since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, have enjoyed better relations with Latin American countries. There was the Good Neighbor Policy of FOR and the Alliance for Progress of John F. Kenned y. But Johnson sort of abandoned the Alliance for Progress and supported military gover nments in Latin America. "Formally, the Democrats rely to a much greater extent than the Republicans on the formal institutions of the inter-American system, such as the OAS. "My general feeling is that the United States is at a rather crucial point in its relations with Latin America." The new president, says Hoskin, must realize that "the U.S. doesn \ pay enough atte ntion to Latin Amenca. Because of this, there are staunch alties that we are not cultivating, such as Brazi l, Colo mb ia, Argentina, and Mexico.- Hoskin holds his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and his M.A. from Johns Hopkins. In 1986-87, be held a fellowshtp from the National Endowment for Democracy to study democracy in Colombia.

From Moscow State to UB V ladimir Titov , professor of philosophy at Moscow State University, is a specialist in Marxist philosophy . Sergei Egorov, associate professo r of molecular biology at Moscow State. is a biochemist who studies protein secretion in yeast. Both are at U B this semester thr o ugh the SUNY -Moscow State exchange program. Titov. who is assistant to the dean of his facuhy in Moscow, teaches courses about Marxism in the Uni ted States and Latin America. "I wanted to speak with my studen ts about what direction Marxist studies are going in the United States," Titov said . The best way to prepare was to come here. .. 1 wanted to come to the Uni ted States. and Moscow State has an exchange program only with the SUNY system." Titov bad a choice of Albany, Buffalo, or New York . He chose UB because he'd met U B Philosophy Professor James Lawler when Lawler was at Moscow State. E research gorov is here primarily to stud y new laboratory method s and techniques and to do some library research. He 's also interested in meeting noted American researchers in his field. Titov's research is coming along nieely, he noted . That's the result of eight to 10 hours spent in the library each day. He described the conditions for his research as ""very favorable:" UB's library facilities are good , and library hours are long. It's easier to work in the library here than at Moscow, Egorov said. In the biological sciences , at least, U B's Two exchange professors· are working here libra rie s are superior in term s of materials and conve ni ence. "I like to work when I have materials available to me ." he said . He 's had to wait more than a year for some journals in Moscow. At UB, be's found that library holdings are greater and the process of orde ring materials is quicker. Both Egorov and Titov have found other UB faculty extre mely helpful. Titov gives special credit to Lawler for helping him make adjust ments to life here and with his research. Egorov likewise credits biologist Margaret Diamond for her help in his stud y of labo ratory technique s. " I am satisfied with my work here. It seems to me that when I return home I will have a publicatio n based o n my research , ... Titov said. When he leaves in June, he11 also take home seminar and lecture techniques em plo yed b y UB faculty . In the meantime, Ti tov hopes to give some lect ures about Soviet philosophy and condi tion s in the Sovie t Union, particularly Gla.mosr. e would also like to tra·;:J to some other cities, s uch as Chicago , Berkeley and New York, and to H participate in conventions there . "I don't know exactly where, but we (Lawle r and Titov) have been thinking about thi s." Those plans depend on the availability of funding from the chair of the exchange program. ... Egorov's plans to meet with prominent researcheiS a lso depends on such funding. "The SUNY administration will decide whether or not I can visit other professors in the United States" during this, hi.s second visit to this cou ntry. Egorov said. Titov, who speaks Spanish Ouently, has traveled to Peru and Cuba, where he studied and lectured on Marxist philosophy. He said this is his first time in the United States. "I hope that it is not my last, though. I hope that I shall return." By then , he hopes to speak English well enough to give lectures in English . H is English ma y improve by virtue of h is livin g accommodations. Both he and Egorov are sta,Ying in the reside nce halls. Asked about his first experience with dormitory life. Egorov sh rugged .

M ost nurses are women , the re is a limited number of hospitals in to wn, and the hospital management has been able to contro l nursing wages at a level lower than those of other rrofessionals with comparable levels o skill. This malces it cheaper to use nurses to fiU in here and there than to hire other workers. For example, if a large number of patients need physical therapy, a thera· pist is hired. If only a few need therapy, an order is written for the nurses to do the therapy. Sometimes the physical therapist works during the week and the nurses ftll in on Sunday.

Consequently. the current ho~p!lal nursmg role is like a sponge wh1ch h~ absorbed b1ts and pieces of so many olher hospital roles .

While 11 IS truethat hospJtal s arc expenencing a sho rt· agc now . 1t IS a shortage of nurses who arf" fill ing an expanded sp o nge role f the nursmg shortage becomes mo re real. nurses will cost more and th.: nursmg work role will be pared down to focus o n patien t care tasks that requm: the expertise of a nurse . It will be che aper for hospitals to h ire more ward clerks or buy computers to lessen the mountain of paper work . More practical nurses and ajdes will be h1red . I Hos pitals will be willing to pa y Sunday rates to physical t herapists and nigh t rates to pharmacists rathe r than use nurses . They will find a way to dispatch Janitors to areas where a clean~up is needed . It is clear that this has not yet hap~ pened . I n spi te of all the publicity about the sho rt age, nursing sala r ies iner<:ased only fo ur pe r cent in 1986 and five per cent in 1987 . When a real short age develops, the wage in creases w~ll outstrip the cost of living increases. There may, however, be a real s h o rt ~ age develo ping. Data gathered by the American Associati o n of Co ll eges of ursing indicates a 28 per cent dro p in enrollments in baccalaureate nu rsi n g programs in the last iive ' years. In the 1983-84 acade mic year. there were 68,000 nursi ng students enrolled in baccalaureate nursing p rogr ams; in the 198 7-1!8 academic year, there are 49,000. This decline cannot be attributed to the overall decline in collegeage st ud e nts . Rather , wome n are selecting careers from a broader me nu o f choices, including all of the fields th at were once stereotypically male. The lost women students have not yet been replaced by men. Only 6 per cent of the current st udent body are men. The salaries in nursing will need to come up to a more reasonable level befon: men can be counted on to replace tbe lost cadre of women. I antictpate th is will happen within five years. The nursing role will be pared down to t he tasks that need tbe expertise of a nurse; the salaries will increase to the level of other professions requiring comparable skills, and the nursi"8 student body will become more integrated with a larger con~nt of men students.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Follett defends its quality as some profs complain "'H By ANN WHITCHER ow good is the Fol- . lett Bookstore? The answer depends on whom you're talking to. At last week's faculty senate meeting, several senators complained about the quality of the general (or trade book) section. But there was disagreement on how well the bookstore is handling textbook orders. Follett officials defended the quality of their stock, saying they "are willing to bend . over backwards" to satisfy faculty .demands. The discussion was prompted by a letter to Senate Chair John Boot from Karen Miller-Allen, associate health sciences librarian . who finds the bookstore "appalling" in quality. She said "a university bookstore should be a bibliophile's delight, a place for the mind. Academics love to browse in bookstores. Hardly. anyone I know browses at the University Bookstore. "It may be that although there are good managers in tbe bookstore, that such people are not necessarily aware of the scope of books academics would purchase if such books were made available." Exemplary in her view are bookstores at the University of Minnesota, McMaster University in Hamilton, and the Harvard Co-op. "Here one could go in looking for seemingly esoteric books and find them." She added that when out-of-town scholars visit her and express a desire to see t&e bookstore, she lies . "I tell them it's being renova~ because I'm too embarrassed to take them there." Edmond Strainchamps of Mus ic called the selection "pathetic." He especially admires bool<stores at Cornell and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Recently, be tried to order a linguistics volume and found "that it . would take the University Bookstore six to eight weeks to order it. "Then, in Madison, I walked into the university bool<store and found not only the linguistics book I was looking for, but also three others by the same author.'" For his part, Thomas Headrick of Law called it "an appalling collection, and I think we .ought to do s~ething about it." William Miller •of ntal Medicine was especially critical :..We satellite operation in Diefendorf.

Perhaps some co mprom ise can be made in which books that arc not fast-m oving are kept on hand. I don't think that stro ng · bookstores lose money... He concluded : " I wouldn) say it's a pathetic bookstore, but it is by no means an excellent one. A top-ranked uni versi ty should have a top-ranked bookstore." Wooldridge and seve ral othe rs said they are generally satisfied with the bookstore's hand li ng of text b ook orders, though th ey d on 't go there to browse.

"We have to watch inventory levels. \Ve can't orqer every book from every university press:· Although th e store keeps classics on hand , a book that doesn't sell in a year usually has to be returned. Klein stressed that .. we are open to any kind of suggestion from faculty. We 're very cooperative. I think the basic problem may be a lack of commu nication." Kevin R.

Few questions of the "could you elaborate" type were asked . Questions of the " I beg to differ" va riet y were more the order ~of the day. Lasch responded to each challenge directly.

''So me people would argue that the world has bee n made safe because we ha ve not fo ugh t a maj or world war. But can we go on as a world with this arsenal and with this policy? Is there another way to assure peace. a nd are th e re steps we sho uld begin to approach to c ha nge th e balance of " We can live with nuclear weapons by using controls & limits, by doing away with the reasons for war. nuclear terror?.. Reic hert posed these opening questions at a weekend campus conferenCe on ... Alternatives to the Nuclear Balance of Terror." Three views were presented at F riday's keynote plenary: We must Jearn to live with nuclear arms while reducing their number to a min imum. We must eliminate nuclear arms entirely. We must work toward arms reduction in tandem with accurate verification procedures and SDI research. P au! Warnke, former chief arms negotiator under President Carter for the SALT II treaty, asserted that there is no alternative to the nuclear balance of terror. "Nuclear weapons are with us to stay," be said. The question now is how to live with them. But that question is clouded by two fallacies, he said : One is that nuclear weapons can be eradicated and the other ts that governments can find some sensible or practical military or political use for them. Eradication is impossible because too many countries have nuclear capability, he said. If the United "states and the Soviet Union were to eliminate nuclear stockpiles, they would do so at the cost of militaty advantage over smaller, less stable countries. We can live with nuclear weapons by placing controls and limitations on them and by eliminating the reasons for any . nation to start a nuclear war Warnke continued. That means elimi~ nating the reasons for fear and desperation on the part of nations with nuclear capability. If either of the major powers has first-strike capability, nuclear war is more likely to occur, he said. To eliminate that capability, we must eliminate weapons most adaptable to first-strike use. Those include intermediate range nuclear weapons housed in bunke rs in Western · Europe . The Intermediat e Range Nuclear Arms Treaty currently before Congress addresses those weapons, seeking their eventual elimination , Warnke stated. The INF treaty is definitely a step in the right direction, Warnke maintained . This should be followed by the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START), which be described as a "breaking out of reason." These tallr.s have as their goal the elimination of all nuclear, weap- Inset: Igor Khripunov (top) and Will iam ons, exce pt .those abs?l.utel y necessary for . the conunued sta bthty of th e internati onal balance of power.

These are weapons of genocide. he said , and their production is a ve ry costly business. Since 1962, for cxarn6 pie, the United States has spent Sl. billion to conduct tests on improvtng the performance of its nuclear stock· pile, said Khripunov. What the Sovtcts have spent, he did not reveal. . In addition , he noted , accide nts occur, costing lives and mone y, and the two nations· set a poo r example for others by stoclr.piling nuclear and con· ventional arms. By threatenin g each other we do not assure world secuntY: instead, we assure· mutual insecurit y. New approaches to tbe question of ar ms reduction and elimination arc required, Khripunov suggested approaches based on four pnnc1ple> agreed on at the Reagan-Gorbachcv summit in 1987. They are: nuclear war �t April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 do? should not be waged; there can be no winner in such a war; both sides should be determined to prevent th is or a con~ ventional war. and neither side should try to seek superiori1y. he said. The Soviets. he said. have decided there is no alternative to a nuclear·free world. Their response to these princi~ pies has been to draft a program whose goal is such a world without nuclear weapons. he noted . "There is a saying which goes: You cannot be slightly pregnant," Khri· punov said. "This applies to nuclear weapons. Either you are with them or you are withopt them." No matter how few nuclear weapons exist. said the vis~ iting speaker. all the current dangers posed by them will be the same. !(e pointed to the recent Chernobyl disas· ter as an example of the dangers of the nuclear age. Arms reduction. both nuclear and conventional, is the key to making the world a safer place. he said. Along with that reduction should be a focus on worldwide economic secu rity. humanitarian considerations. and environmental issues. "We are open-minded and we are inviting all other states to come together at the United Nations and think together of.... ways of ensuring security in our world,"' he concluded . W illiam Shepard , congressional director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. had no argument with the idea of arms reduction. However. he stressed the need for accurate ve rification procedures. The Jack of sophisticated verification technology was among reasons for failure of the SALT II talks of the Carter Administration. Shepard said. The cu rren t INF treat y proposal out· lines intrusive verification measures "Arms reduction, both nuclear and conventional, is the key to a safer world. A long with that reduction should come economic security and humanistic considerations. That makes it a much more serious proposal for arms control than the earlier SALT II talks. he said. Shepard lost favor with the audience when he added that the Strategic Defense In itiative is essential to the possibility of moving away from the prospec t of MAD. In Shepard"s view, the system would allow us to move beyond MAD to the possibility for defense. Even if it didn't work with 100 per cent efficiency . he said. the knowledge that a first stike is useless would deter any nation from engaging in such a strike. But Warnke and Khripunov labeled .. Star Wars·· a destablizing factor in arms negotiations. A debate ensued during the question· and-answer period . A few minor battles of wit and Ideology broke out among the speakers as each vied for clari.fica· .tion of his point. prompltng moderator Claude Welch to note that he was glad to be between Shepard and Warnke. The conference was orga nized by the Nuclear War Prevention Studies Grad· uate Group, which Reichert directs. 0 Nuclear weapons in Europe termed 'wrong' By DAVID M SNYDERMAN uclear arms are wrong for even We st ern Europe from a military point of view. Lieutenant Colonel John Buchannan. retired from the United States Marine Corp s and presemly working in the Center for Defense Informati on. said at the Saturday morning session of the conference on nuclear alternatives. Our current political and military si tuation in Western Europe stems from Western European fears of a Soviet invasion after World War II. the 22· year veteran of the Marines said. The European allies desired a "coupling" of the futures of Europe and the United States - a guarantee that any Soviet aggression would lead to a response by the U.S. The coupling concept also implied .. extended deterrence. " Just as the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction has been the basis for deterrence in the past four decades. the European allies wished for a similar concept of nuclear retaliation in the event of a Soviet invasion. The U.S. solution. Buchannan said. was a policy of .. flexible response" under which ··we would gradually escalate the war step-by-step·by· step. always being one nuclear bomb ahead of the Soviets.·· The Russians knew that if they launched a conventional war to conquer Western Europe. they would end up being destroyed in a nuclear connict. Buchannan, however. doesn't think the Soviet Union is really posing any kind of threat to Europe. Despite press reports of a 2.5 to I tank rat io in favor of the Warsaw Pact, he contends that NATO conventional forces are stro nger than Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces in Europe. This is because NATO has more combat helicopters and war planes. More importantly, he noted, NATO ha s the advantage in "such non· quantitative factors as weapon technology. troo·p quality. and weapon reliabili ty. ••Judging by how much the alliance spends each year on milita ry· forces. it would be surprising if NATO did not feel its conventional forces are at least as strong as those of !he Warsaw Pact ... Buchannan said. According to the Pentagon's own reports, he claimed , NATO has always outspe nt the Warsaw Pact - by a sum total of about N S!.7 trillion in the past 20 years. Also. Buchannan thinks that if there were a war. it would not be limited to Europe - the Soviets would have to fight on many fronts. including Chma. Japan. Kore a. and Australia. War ~a\\ Pact and U.S .S . R . forces would ha'e to be spread ou 1. rc~u/11ng in even more of a NATO ad' ant age 1n the European thea ter. o whv does the U S . keep its large nucle3r arsenal if 11 is not needed to defend Western Europe. as is always claimed by this nation? Minl.(nal deterrence. the threat of nuclear weapons to discourage a conventional war. would require substantially fewer weapons than are currently in our nuclear arsenal. according to Victor TtlUryoni. Thuryoni. a member of the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence and one of the panel responding to Buchannan. said that if the purpose of American nuclear weapons is really minimal deterrence. we can well afford to do away with tactical. first·strike weapons in Europe . We could also cease testing new nuclear weapons because our current supply is more than adequate for that purpose. In fact. Thuryoni noted. "we could reduce our nuclear force. not by 50 per cent. but at least by 95 per cent or more and still have that survivable force that will _serve as a very important deterrent to any country contemplating use of nuclear weapons." S Igor Khripunov. first secreta ry of the Soviet Embassy in charge of arms control negotiations. believes "we arc becoming prisoners of our own technology. because we hear statements that these weapons cannot be eliminated, that these weapons cannot be reduced, because it is not verifia ble ... {tleaning that a treaty would be difficult to enforce. He blames the attitude that treaties are .. not verifiable" on a general • sense of mis trust between America and the Soviet Union. He faults for this lack of trust a stereot ype in the U.S. that portrays the Russians as ..cheaters." II three speakers agreed that nuclear war must be avoided . The INF trea ty is seen as a step in that direction, but more effons along these lines arc required, th ey cpncurred. Concern over the po ssi bility of a conventional war was also sounded. A Buchannan doubted that a nuclear war would be started intcntionall v. Instead. he feels that a conventional \\ ar would escalate as soon as a field commande r saw h1 s men dying and decided t o use nuclear battlefield weapons. such as artillery shells. short range /and-based rn1 s~ lles and a1rcraft delivered bombs. to tn to save them. All these weapons arc. left untoochcd by the 1:-IF treat y currently being debated in Congress. "We could reduce our nuclear force not by 50 per cent, but by 95 per cent or more and still have a survivable force to serve as a deterrent to any country thinking of attacking us. " Thuryoni agreed : ""Ultimately, it is the avoidance of any threat of conventional war which is the best way of reducing the threat of nuclear war. .. In a conventional war. he fears, "somehow or other. nuclea capons may get launched through panic." Buchannan suggested that in order to s\jlve.. off nuclear war, a firebreak sho uld be created in Central Europe. ··A pullback on each side of the German border of 100 or 120 kilometers" would allow for a reduction of tensions in the area. This would help keep even a conventional war from breaking out in Europe. Although correct first steps have been made in treat ies such as INF, there is much yet to .be taken care of in reducing the nuclear threat, the panelists agreed . Both sides also have to be willing tO trust each other. for withouf trust , even verifica tion will not offer mutual reassurance. Much time and negotiations are needed before we are no longer in this "'insane race" (as Buchan nan put it) for nuclear supremacy. 0 �• Aprtl 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 , I . lA ~._>lit• (~~-~) • ~·-~ II SIA CAIPAIGII '88 Barbara Mierzwa: one of the best SEFA volunteers I like knowing that people in need ma y be getting assistance ... ~aid MJcriwa.

A ° d Associate EdHor ANN WHITOlEJ! ~~~~:BERNSTEIN fit~~~~~~~~ Editor Assistant Art Director REBECCA FARNHAM �April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 Robert Creeley His life has seen I,llany JOurneys By ANN WHITCHER R obert Creeley has spent most of his 61 years making journeys , both artistic and geographic. He has driven an ambulance in India and Burma for the American Field Service, taught grade school in Guatemala. and lived in France, in Spain, and on a poult ry farm in New Hampshire. In August , he leaves for a year in Finland. where he will hold the Bicentennial Chair in American Studies at the University of Helsi nki , the result of a Distingui shed Fulbright Award . Greeley has s pent a good pan of the last 22 years at U B, where he now holds the David Gray Chair of Poetry and Letters. On April 20. he will give a public reading at 7:30 p.m. in Baird Recital Hall. This will be followed by a reception given in his honor by Presi• dent and Mrs. Sample . F or almost 30 years, Greeley has been a force to reckon with in American literature. In a letter to Creeley dated January 18, 1960, William Carlos Williams told him, "You have the subtlest feeling for the measure that I encounter anywtiere except in th e verses of Ez.ra Pound whom I cannot equal." Crc:eley continues to ha ve man y admirers. Jed Rasula. writing in Tne American Book Review in 1984, said : "The more you read of Creeley the more personal the space becomes, till you're no longer reading poems but handling bright personal tmplements generously loaned for the occasion ." His Collected Poems. the same reviewer said . .. is a statement of awesome integrity, a sign of that ten sile strength inherent in the poems that has held the work together as a whole." The 640-page collect ion was also the subject of a full-page review in the New York Times Book Review. There is a scene in the recent Bruce Jackson / Diane Christian documentary on Creeley. in which the poet is see n autographing books for students at Harvard, from which he dropped out in the last semester of his senior year. He has received the 1987 Robert Frost Medal from the Poetry Societ y of America. Also in 1987, he was elected to the American Academy and Insti tute of Arts and Letters. But Creeley wears his fame lightly. a point that is made in the intimate Jackson / Christian documentary that premiered April 5 at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Greeley has a restramed warmth and confidence that belies the personal struggles alluded to in his poetry. Creeley remains devoted to the poetry of Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, and Robert Duncan, all associated with the famous Black Mountain College in North Carolina in the 1950s. It was here that Creeley taught and edited the innovative liter. ary journal, Black Mountam Rev~ew. , C reeley is famous for poetry of great compression; sometimes these poems are minimalist in nature. More recently, say critics, his wor":s have assumed· an even greater accesstbilitJ lll)d frequently convey the sadness of growing old . Born in Arlington, Massachusetts, Creeley has a clear connection with the fabled New England reticence. _New Englanders, he said, "have a su~ptcton -of anY kind of drama." As a wnter, he is .. immensely aware of not saying too much ... Not surprisingly, he feels a connection to the poetry of Emily Dickinson. another famous New Englander who compressed her poetic expression. Wh ile his poems have great heart. they are rarely - if ever - sentimental. The critic Linda W . Wagner put it th is way in 1965: "It is impossible to know Robert Creeley and his work without being convinced that he is one of the most ho nest men alive. and one of the most inte nse. Both qualities are evident in his scrupulous exactness: no effort is too great for his work. and for its acknowledged purpose. to please others as well as himself." , She added: "His writing is noble for its painstaking - and sometimes painful - clarit y and accuracy . .. Creeley thrives on the process of coming to terms. on definition. " He is. says UB Poetry Curator Robert Bertholf. "a major American poet. .. The author of more than two do1.cn vol umes of poetry. essays. and fiction. Creeley has see n his work translated into all the world's maj o r languages . Additionally, his work is pan of all major ant hologies of mid-century American literature. The Um versity of Robert Greeley Califo rnia Press publis hed bo th his Co/leered Poems ( 1982) and Co/leered Prose ( 1984 ). Essays of Roberc Creeley was published this year and a new book of poetry is due o ut in the spring. He is also editing a selection of Rabe n Burns' poetry for Ecco Press in New York . I n an interview, Crceley said he finds time to write in the "gaps" of a busy life with his wife. Penelope, and their two you ng children , William Gabriel. 7. and Hannah Highton. 4. "We get up early and we go to bed early. I've also been getting int o the office early because of the parking problem and so metimes write there ... At first "shy" about calling himself poet . Cree ley found inspiration in the poetic works of D . H . Lawrence. Herman Melville and Thomas Hard y, all of whom were known primarily as prose writers . Teaching. too. is an important part of hi s life. Greeley is now teaching a grad uate course on the early works of William Carlos Williams. He also teaches an undergraduate literature course. in which he is focusing on works by such thought-provoking conlemporary writers as Grace Pal ey and C harles Bernstein. As for creative writing. ..1 have taught workshops over the years. But I find it best when it's done as an independent study. " Domestic concerns often play a part in Greeley's poetry. He has six other children from his two previous marriages and has five grandchild ren. In 1984, he ostablisbed a home in Waldoboro, Maine, behind his sister Helen's house.... Here I have a sense of coming home" he says in the film Creeley. Also nearby are other family members. C reeley has long been associated with· the Abstract Expressionists and with jazz. In fact , his style of reading has an almost syncopated quality . In 1980, the record , "Home," featuring music by Steve Swallow set to Greeley's poetry, was released by ECM. The recording was third in that year's Downbea.r poU. In "Home," Sheila Jordan sings a memorable version of one Creeley poem, which is a section from "The Finger." "She was young, she was old, / she • was smaii./She was tall with/ extraordinary grace. Her face / was all distance, her eyes / the depth of all one bad thought of, / again and again and again." D �For Becker, t)le most important feature of the Cambodian RevolutiOn was its fanatically nationalist brand of . communism. Its model was the Ctunese Cultural Revolution: It was no accident that the Khmer Rouge chost the most radical of communist models a_nd tried to revolutionize Cambodza overnight to prove the countrr S superiority. They were the ht trs of the worst in Cambodia~ past. (pp. 16-17) ly 0111US L .U. ruth and propaganda converged in 1979 when Vietnam said, "I n Cambodia no one smiles today. Now the land is soaked with blood and tears. Cambodia is bell on earth ... In succession. Cambodia' has experienced the following: ( I) five years of Civil War ( 1970- 1975), concurrent with intense American bombing. (2) Destruction of Cambodian society at the hands of the Khmer Rouge (19751979). (3) Occupation by the Vietnamese (1979-1988). The most probable death count during the Cambodian Revolution , fifteen to twenty·five per cent of the population. done to Khmers by Khme rs, introduces a new concept of mass death-autogenocide.' Adolph Hitler asked his staff, "Who, after all, spealcs today of the Armenians?"' The Khmer Rouge are a fresh reminder that in the 20th Century, prior moral restraints against mass death have been trespassed. When the Khmer Rouge perpetrated_ this great destruction Amenca was tn the throes of a collective amnesia about Southeast Asia_ Also, in the aftermath of Vietnam it was difficult for the Amencan left io accept the atrocity stories told by Cambodian refugees. Not until FaU 1979, when hundreds of thousands of starving, dying people ~ to stream out of CambodiA, unpnoUng an unforgettable, and undeniable, i~age of horror on the western world, d1d the accuracy of these survivor stories gain general-<n<l.ibility.' Elizabeth Becker, in her valuable revisionist history, bas expanded ~e causal framework for the Cambodian revolution, from an extemalist focus on America's support for Lon Nol and the bombing campaign' to an interpre_tation that integrates these events Wtth internal Cambodian causes: While the United Stales and V~etnam do sluue.responsibility for much of CanrbodiD's so"ows, ultimaU!y, Cllmbodillns are the vil:tims of their own leadu~ and their own rradilions and hislpry ... it cof1111ry wilh 11 d«p sense of wouruled pride, a fear of racial a~inctian and a corollary belitif in iJs cUbural if not =il!l ~­ iarity. CanrbodiD. . .Is a country with a tradillon of vloknce.• Cam bodia's revolution was grounded in a history of resistance to Vie~nam 's drive for regional hegemony. V1etnam had sought since 1930 to merge th~ . interests of Cambod1a and Laos Wlthm Vietnamese goals. Laos succumbed easily in 1977. The Khmer Rouge resisted fiercely, and the issue was not settled until Vietnam occupied Cambod1a m 1979. . . The very titles of the survtvor stones reviewed here, 1'11~ Ston~s Cry Out, To Destroy You is No' Loss, Stay Alive My Son, etch an indelible message of grief, pain, and loss, death 1m~ that beggar the imaginatio n. The survtvor aceounts are group portraits tllat tell about whole families and commurulles as well as individuals. They speak to us in graphic experiential detail. As the first wave of popularly published, book length testaments, ther are the first voice to speak, With d1gn1ty and co urage, in honor of the dead for tllose whose stories are yet :o be told . They relegate to the dust bin of history any skep ticism about t he mhumamty of th e Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge glorified the future. They sought to wrench a new nation from the past in one monstrous spasm . The Cambodian revolution was led by brothers-in-law, Pol Pot and Leng Sary, their wives, and a handful of intellectuals tramed m Europe. TillS tiny center, too impatient and cynical to try to win popular support, ruled through zone leaders down to tbe local structures. The people knew only Angka, "organization." Omniscient, mysterious, indifferent to human nc:cd. unaccountable to the people, Angka demanded absolute fealty. "Give your whole life to Angka. Make no demands on society." Angka, it was said, had "eyes like a pineapple." Angka was nowhere yet everywhere, no one and every one. he survivor stories make. the nature of the Cambodian Revolution con-crete. Here is the essence of the expression "Going to see Angka~: A girl 'friend of ten-year-old Nanne Chan Lay complained of hard work. She was dragged behind a row of trees. Narine heard screams, then silence. Sida Kong, an I 1-year-old human skeleton could not work the 21-bour shifts' that were her lot. "Anglca says," she was told, Mif you donl worlc, you can l live among the people." Anglca was gut-twisting terror. • Dehumanization followed depersonalization. Angka's policy precipitated widespread starvatJon which substantially alters human appearance. ~o~ restraints are-lowered when the VICtun This victim of Khmer Rouge brutality was beaten and then crucified for allegedly stealing food. is a starving, walking, disease_-ridden skeleton who "hardly see ms hke a human being worth saving ..., The Khmer Rouge preferred ax handles or parachute cords as instruments of exe· cution. They were less costly than bullets. Stripped of the11 human1ty. the people were easily mad e mto dls~osa­ ble units of labor w1th no mtnns1c human value. This diminution of human life is the most striking aspect of the Cambodian Revolution. Pin Yathay heard a Khmer Rouge officer say, "'One million is all we need 10 con· Uhue tile revolution. We don' need the n:st. ({'. 148).Indiv_iduals we'!' hkened to grams of .nee, wath no mtnns1c value or as in another analogy, apples to be 'discarded from an overturned basket, so that only the best ones could be retrieved. "To keep you IS no benefit," the elderly were told. "To destroy you is no loss. " The new ~bo­ ma was likened to a speedmg tram: Nothing you can do will stop it. If you try to st~p clOwn or stop the rushing train you will b~ crush~d untkr its powerful wheels. (Criddl~ and Mom, pp. 101-104) The evacuation of cities foretold what was ahead. Phnom Pent., swollen to more than two million during the Civil War, was emptied by the Kilmer Rouge, beginning April 17 , 1975, within three days. Some 400,000 people died during this evacuation. Life in the killing fields is at the lleart of the survivo r stories. Professionals were executed if detected . Narine Chan Lay's sister was executed becaose she was a pharmacist. H;Ung Ngor, a gynecologist, disguised himself as a taxi driver. He was forced to stand by helplessly while a Khmer Rouge cadre 1ojected a lethal dose of coconut juice into a cllild. His pregnant wife died in his arms and he was helpless to save her, (Ngor, I I 5, 328-337). Pin Yathay, an engineer forced to disguise his identitY. for similar reasons, watched silently while a Mercedes Benz was hammered into rubber sandals and plowshares (Yathay, pp. ~I). Having driven professionals under cover, and themselves yoked to a golden rule of self-sufficiency, the Khmer Rouge were reduced to the absurdity of peasants in black uniforms supervising the back-breaking labor of physicians, lawyers, and teachers. Enormous and destructive waste resulted: All our labour was going to waste. No one had survey~d the sit~. ther~ w~r~ no plans and no one k~pr ruords. Th~ Khmer Roug~ sum~d to think that revolutionary f~rvour could replac~ the laws of physics. (Yathay, p. 63) 5 ucb scenes reveal an anti-modern disposition toward tecbnolo~ by a center bereft of din:ction after 1deologi- �Aprtl14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 roo opinions expressed in "Viewpoints"' pieces are those of the writers and not necessarily those of the Aeporler. We welcome your comments. cal slogans were exhausted. Mam writes that there was an implicit distrust of the people, an unforgivable "propensity for veiled threats, brutality and murder, .. rather than persuasion (Criddle and Mam, p. 84). Sometb May wrote that "The weird thing about this peasant revolution was that none of the accumulated wisdom of~ peasants went into iL" (pp. 186-187). By simple seeding. Cambodia's natural fecundity would bave fed the nation's population abuildantly. But Angka forbade private crop production and demanded that all food gathered from the countryside be given over to the community. Angka decreed three rice crops per year, a mad-batter idea tbat violated nature. Zones failed to meet harvest quotas. "Enemies" were blamed, not policy. Enemies meant executions, en~ng ever-widening waves of indiVIduals. families, communities, zooes. July became synonymous with "1be K.illing Season." (Criddle and Mam, p. 147, Bec.k.er, pp. 248-250). Angka tighteacd tbe screws. tree and left for ants to swarm over him. Ngor saw Khmer Rouge guards suffocate, disembowel, and dismember a pregnant woman, ripping the fetus OUt of her and nailing II to a tree. The guards sliced up her breasts and ate them, while joking about her genitals, which had been gouged with a bayonet {Ngor, pp. 216, 247-248)'. Haing Ngor survived three such imprisonments and torture and later won an academy award for bis role as Dith Pran in "The Killing Fields." Embittered Cambodians, forbidden to mourn their dead, saw the corpses of tbeir kin tossed aside like so much meat, buried in shaUow graves, stuffed down empty wells, cast into ponds and streams, left for wolves to devour. The horrifying scene in "The Killing Fields" when Dith Pran stumbles into a .grisly pit 'of corpses was not atypical. Cambodian executions were graphic, immediate, and casuaUy public. Szymusiak recounts ~.big bizarre scene: 1M yotl!tlT took m~ with her to tM ana w/u,r~ th~y tkcapitated ~pk. "Dehumanization followed official depersonalization. Sjck, starving, brutalized people became disposable units of labor with no intrinsic value." Food rations were reduced, work increased to an inhuman level. Overworked and malnourished, the population became vulnerable to disease. Oedema, a bloating of the limbs from malnutrition, became a common disease. The cure was adequate diet, but food was witbbeld by policy. Another disease resulting from malnutrition was night-blindness. When Szymusiak developed night-blindness, the Khmer Rouge abandoned her in a graveyard, to test wbetber she was shirking. After being foroed to acknowledge that she was in fact sick. the K.bmer Rouge led Seymusiak by the hand to a work site where she was set to coUecting dirt in baskets. (Szymusiak, pp. 152-153). Epidemics were widespread tbe fmt year, 1975, including malaria &Del typhoid fever. Lacking staple food,- tbe ~ forapl .for wild food.

R~ports flash~d back and forth across th~ land, whis~r~d over the human telegraph sysr~m: genocide. (p. 149) H ' ow did the people respond to this terror? Depression was widespread but suicide was generally eschewed because it led to reprisals against survivor.>. Szymusiak's mother longed for a mass death of Cambodia, not by suicide but by tbe atomic bomb (p. 94). There was little organized resistance. The Moslem Chams resisted and were slaughtered. A peaceful food protest in Yathay's district led to the execution of the five leader.; (pp. 100-101). There were touchingly heroic acts of individual defiance that led to certain death. A woman whose husband bad been executed got revenge by seducing three Khmer Rouge officer.;, known to Yatbay as "brutes, torturers, perpetrator.; of numerous crimes." Tbc woman confessed, aU four were executed, &Del she became a heroine (pp. 172-173). In Sometb May's camp, a 17-year-old boy, Chbitb, challenged tbc village chief to explain •Wbat is tbe meaning of equality?" May was foroed to dig a grave, thinking it was bis own. Instead tbe Khmer Rouge threw Chbith's body into tbc grave (pp. 195-197, 204). These people chose a hero's death, defiant, unoompro~ victory on their terms. The SUTVIVOn chose life with aU its banh compromises &Del moral ambiguities. Their stories testify not to mere survival but to a desire to live humanly and with meaning. Survivor.; lived at two levels. Pin Yathay summed it up in this advice to bis son: Follow t/u, ortkr of Angkll. Do what th~y ask you to do, without grousing. without protesting. Above all te careful what you say and do. Don't voice opinions. Be suspicious, pretend 10 bt! ignorant, tka[. mut~. It's rhe only way of surviving. (p. 157) Such behavior constituted the requisite external display for the system. Inwardly, survivor.; resisted in small, incremental acts that helped them to stay alive. Tccda Butt Mam writes, "We had to hide our humanity, but we refused to surrender it to Angka." Teeda's father trained her not to volunteer, and never to go lir.;t. Consequently, when a Trie ndly viUagc chief, by a nonverbal gesture, cautioned her not to join a "relocation," Teed a held back. Later sbe learned that everyone who had volunteered, including ·ber fiance, had been executed. (Criddle and Mam, pp. 32, 85, 141-142.) Survivor.; continuously resisted two of the dehumanizing tenets of the Khmer Rouge, the breaking down of per.;onal identity and family loyalty. Angka taught the people to forget the endearments of the past. Mr., Sir., aunt, were replaced by "Met" (comrade). The use of the words "sorry" and "thanks" were forbidden. Haing Ngor was instructed to call his wife ...comrade woman" rather than "sweet." Thus in public, Houy became """c omrade woman."" ln the tenderness of the night she was stiU ..,sweet." The Khmer Rouge attacked family life ferociously. Externally, the people obeyed the dictates of Angka, and sometimes were foroed to make the most awful "Sophie's Choice," such as Yathay's decision to leave his son behind when he and his wife escaped. Naive children were taught to chaUenge and inform on their parents (child spies were called cblops). Matriage was reduced to the mechanical function of procreation. Secretly, the people loved and protected family members as best they could, grieved their dead, and, when possible buried them decently. The accounts of Mam, Ngor, and Yathay belie any corrosion of marital love. Children still respected their parents and the elderly. Mam refused to be separated from her mother. Adults who could not trust their children spoke in whispers at night but did not turn against them. Gutsy Iitle Mohm Pbat, the girl adopted by Gail Sheehy, threatened cblops that they would be eaten by ghosts if they spied on her and the • See 1(-.g Floldo. page 1S �April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 of West Germany. 19 Cleme-ns. 3:30 p .m.

While s he was doing this , another volunteer from the audience held a calendar up for all to see. Then, while he did this. another person turned the pages of the calendar. Much to the delight of the audience. the page turner couldn) even keep up wi t h Devi. Many in the audience believed that Devi had some kind of system for doing all of her work.

Devi. from India. took questions from her standing room only audience in O'Brian Hall's Moot Court and answered them all correctly. much to the chagrin of many of the questioners who had hoped to stump her. Beginning with some "easy" problems. such as the cube root of 19.815.528 (the answe r is 583), Devi gradually worked her way up to more difficult problems - ones that took her a little over five seconds to calculate. six," she said withOut hesitation ... Is that correct?" With a sligh tl y bafned loo k and nod of approval. the sheepish questioner acknowledged that her an swer was right. What Devi did in O'Bnan Hall mav have astonished her audi ence. but i"t was slim picki ngs compared to a few of the o ther things she has done. For example. she has gained wo rld- wide auenti on by beating a Uni\'aC computer in a calculat ions race. She can also determine the 23rd root o f a 20 I digit number in less than 50 seco nd s. D cvi answered all her UB quest io ne rs by first stating the numbers in her an s wer. minus comma s. and t hen ha\'ing a volunteer fro m the audience write lhe numbers o n a blackboard so all could see. After astounding th ose asse mbled with her mathematical wizardry. Devi challenged anyone in the auditonum to give her a year. month. and day. She would then tell them what da y of the week it was.

Teeda's and Leng's families were among the 45 000 refugees who experienced this c'ruelest of all acts. Thai soldiers forced terrifi ed C~m~odi ans d own steep, mine-laden c liffs mt o the land of death fro m which th ey had just esca ped: I 1hough1 1he nigh1mare I had lived lhrough for years and 1he 1rauma of our escape had exposed me 10 all/he suffering and horrors 1his world had 10 offer.

(Criddle and Mam. pp. 246260. esp. 255) The first waves, mostly Chams. became human mine detonat ors, strewn· esc, supported by the U.S.S.R., and the Khmer resistance forces, of which .t he la rgest and best equipped are the Khmer Rouge. The resistance is supported by ASEAN , China, and the U.S. Some 200.000 Cambodians have settled in the West. An estimated 350,000 live in the interstices of the Ca mbodja-Thai border, among the opposing armies, wit h little hope of resettlement . Among the survivor accounts reviewed here , Ngor's and Sheehy's story of Mohm Phat contain the best accounts of adjustment to life in America. Survivo rs such as Leng and Dihni and the students at UB live today with their own emotional conOicts, physical di sabilities, and practical problems. One is education. As a recent Buffalo News arttcle (March 30, 1988) pointed out, the 4-6 years of lost time in Cambodia (there was no real educa\io n under the Khmer Rouge) and Thailand have left many with educatio nal deficits that are difficult if not impossi ble to surmount. Perhaps the most difficult emotional issue for survivors is ... why did I survi ve while others did not?" Some choose to deal with the question by " psychic numbing, " a kmd of emotional sabotage. One freezes out the sorrow of irretrievable loss in order to get on with one's life _II Like the authors of the survivo r stories reviewed here, most of the Cambodians I have spo ken with. rat her than wanting to bury their past , wish to bear witness to it. By choosing life , th ese survivors have avenged those who died , because they have lived to tell the story of Ca mb odia on their own term~ . Pin Yath ay writes: I had to slay alive. not only for Na .....ath/ the son Bl indfolded skulls, rema ins from mass grave, 1981. "Perhaps these eloquent memoirs will help us not to forg et the trauma." T he people corrupted Khm er Rouge _ soldiers, who coveted statu s symbols hke ball point pens and automatic watches a nd were willing to trade rice rauons for them. In Yalhay's vi llage, dea th rates were consistently underreported . The rice surplus was used by the Khmer Rouge to b(\rter with the . people, little luxury items for rice. A co rrupted system was more malleable, establishing a margin of difference for so me to eke through. _ After the Vietnamese invasion, disarmed Khmer Rouge soldiers were hunted down by the people. The murderous rage that had grown in the hearts of the people during their captivIty, led to frenzied soenes of slaughter. Ca ptured Khmer Rouge were beheaded and tom apan, limb from limb (Ngor, 354-355, 362-363). . In the confosion that followed the Vietnamese invasion, Teeda Butt Ma~'s family escaped to Thailand, arnvmg June 1979, about the same . t1me as Leng and Dihni Ung, with their daughter Leap. y tben, hundreds of thousands had poured into Thailand , to the alarm of Thai officials who beca me increasingly frustrated by the Inattention or the west to its new refugee problems. Thaiiaild took drastic action. On June 8 Thai soldiers carrie to the camps and began loading frightened Cambodians onto buses. The in the path of those that followed . Leng calculates it took a day to inch down the cliffs and another week to cross the mine field . Leng felt a terrible fear that the Vietnamese would kill his family for having escaped from Cambodia. Instead, Leng was met at the end of the mine field by friendl y Vietnamese guards wh o gave him fo od rations.' 0 Western reporters wit nessed Preah Vihear and soon th e world knew about the plight of Cambodian refugees. Refugee relief for post Khmer Rouge Cambodia is the subject of William Shawcross' masterful treatise, The Quali1y of Mere~. Shawcross shows a tragic delay of a1d whtle reitef agenc1es like the Red Cross a nd UN ICEF struggled to reach a modus vivendi between the dictates of the respect ive governments, their officially apolitical missions and the multitudes of suffering starving Cambodians. In order to maintain a facade of neutrality, Thailand insisted upon aid for Khmer Rouge strongholds, a demand that relief agencies could not ignore, because many innocent civilians were . mingled among the Khmer Rouge. Atd to the Cambodian interior was extremely difficult because the Vietnamese first denied there was any need for aid. Later, the Vietnamese reversed themselves, claiming as many as two million would die if unprecedented famine relief v;ere not immediately forthcoming. The famine threat turned out to be a hoax, foisted by the Vietnamese western relief agencies who feared to err on the side of caution. Cambodian relief in 1979-1980 was a story of good intentions that failed . uPbn T oday, the war for-Cambodia continues, fought between ~he Vietnam- h~ left behind/ . bw also for rhose who died - for my parenrs. for A ny/ his wife h·ho disappeared in 1he jungles during I heir escape/ . fo r 1i1e olher children. Only through m r survival would their lives ha\;e continued meaning. (p. 216) Thus, the survivor stories and those yet untold. on o ne leve l are personall y therapeutic, enabling the survivors to bring o rder and reaso n into the mad· ness of their own past. At a level that will last far beyond their own lives, they have brought a valuabl e and permanent testament to the historical record. The y have enriched the lives of all of us. Our attention was swiftl y diverted fro m Cambodia by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iran hostage crisis. Cambodia has remained an epi· sodic blip in our collective mem ory. Perhaps these eloquen t mem oirs will help us remember. Ho pefully, for as Arch Puddington writes, the Khmer Rouge model appeals to third world revolutionary movements li.ke the New People's Arm y in the Philippines and the Sendero Luminoso of Peru .'' Wh at future dictator will rise before hi s lieu tenants and shrug away their anxiety, "Who after ail speaks today of the annihilation of the Cambodians?" 0 Charlts Bland claims no special expertise in Southeast Asian politics or his· tory. He confesses that his interest in Camboida is a matter of heart over head.

It's not because what they do interests only a small number of people. And it's not because they haven't tried to publicize their activities. Rather, it is a combination of a lack of publicity and a misinterpretation, on the part of UB students, of what they , . are all about. The group, formed last semester, ts called the Wilderness Family. "The first thing people think of when they hear Wilderness Family is 'Save tho Whales,' " lamented co-founder Robin Michelson. "We're not that at all. We're people who are interested in outdoor activities. "We have trouble Jelling people know who and what we are,"' she continued. "We don' take a hard line on environmental issues. we·re just a group who enjoys the outdoors and outdoor activities." The group's activities over the last few months have ,i ncluded hiking, cross-<:ountry skiing, and ice skating. In addition, they have planned a trip to the Toronto Zoo for April 23. On April 30, they will go white water rafting. The Wilderness Family also organizes activities for members when school isn't in session. "During winter break some of us got together in New York City and went ice skating,'' noted Michelson. A Outdoors That's where the campus' 'Wilderness Family' likes to spend its free time ing, we expected only about ten people to show up. Instead we got 45." .. It was encouraging to see so much interest," added Robinson. Besides being co-founders, Michelson and Robinson have something else in common. They are the undergraduate coordinators for Rachel Carson College ( RCC). an academic program devoted to the study of the environment. Unfortunatel y for the 40 or so students enrolled in RCC, the College's future is on hold . However, the Wilderness Family has given RCC students an avenue to continue their study of the environment. That fact did not go unnoticed by the founders. The Wilderness Family was formed because "we wanted something to take the place of R CC, • said Robinson. The group offers a wide variety of activities and is easy to join. "Our only requirements are that each member have an interest in the outdoors, come to two meetings, and take part in one activity." said Michelson . T he Wilderness Family doesn' have a regular schedule for meetings. They simply have one when it is deemed necessary. "We've had a lot of them lately," said Michelson. "But that was so we could straighten out the organization and elect new officers." One problem the group faces is fund ing. Although the Wilderness Family received a token $100 from the Student Association last semester, it is in dire need of cash. " I would like to have a big fundraiser with a lot of people involved," said Michelson. "That way we can let people know who we are and what we do, while raising money for other activities ... The group also needs publicity. '"We've tried to advertise. ·· said Michelson. "But the campus papers either don' run the ads or they change them around so they aren' understandable. That's why we need a fund-raiser." In the future, Robinson would like to see more members who ~ aren't afraid to participate an•1 who will take the initiative ... Michelson hopes to see "a larger. more dedicated core group who can influence the fringe members." P ~rsons interested in joining the group or in taking part in one of the 0 outings should call 636-5575. hough the size of the "family" A Michelson and co-founder Amy RobinIt varies lrom month to month . son are both happy with the amount of inter• st shown by members. "We have a list of about 100 people who have attended at least one meeting," said Michelson.

Leahy, Jr., Terry Pennington, and Mike Mooney Health Sciences Library forges links with China By MILT CARLIN T he University, through its Health Sciences Library (HSL), is in the process of forging still another link with the People's Republic of China. The new link calls for establishment of a cooperative relat io nship between the HSL and China's national medical library, part of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) .and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) in Beijing. The CAMS-PUMC medical library is China's "No. I medical library" with a collection of 400,000 volumes. Establishment of an agreement was proposed by Dr. Gu Fangzhou, president of CAMS and PUMC, as an outgrowth of his contacts with C. K. Huang, director of HSL. Huang, director of HSL since 1970, views the developing agreement as part of U B's growing involvement in Asian academic programs starting in 1980. In that year, Frank C. ,..n, Ph.D., a School of Management professor, 'Delped establish China's National Center for Industrial Science and Technology Management Development at Dalian as one of eight "founding professors" from the U.S. • In 198·1, one of the first U.S.-Chinese educational exchange programs was established between UB and the Beijing Union University System, the largest network of higher education in China. Shortly thereafter, the Intensive English Language Institute (lEU) established China's first American-operated language center at Beijing to provide English language instruction for U.S. bound Chinese scholars. The School of Management itself established a "Young Executive Program" at Dalian in 1984, a three-year course leading to an M.B.A. (Master of Business Administration) degree. The lEU set up a second center, this time at Dalian, to support the M.B.A. program, among others, at the National Center. In 1986, the university launched its Malaysian Cooperative Educational Program, which provides for two years of study in Malaysia to qualify for an associate degree. Graduates would then be accepted here or at other schools in the U.S. to study for bachelor's degrees. Co-directors of this program are George C. Lee, Ph.D., dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Stephen C. Dunnell, Ph.D., lEU director. As a supplement to the Chinese M.B.A. program, the School of Management also has established a China Trade Center to assist in establishing commercial ventures involving Chinese 'and American business interests. Hu~. a~ment s seen by the proposed A medical library would become a continuation of this growing involvement in Sino-American coopera- tion. .. Medical info rmation is uni ve rsal,·· said Huang in explaining the logic of the planned agreement. "There are no boundaries." Implementation of an exchange program, he added, would provide opportunities to supply information involving both Chinese and American medical discoveries. Such exchanges , he added, also "The relationship will be with their top medical library." could include access in the U.S. to information on "traditional Chinese medicine,"' such as acupuncture. Exch'ange of staff members by the two libraries also is a possibility. In this regard, Huang noted that about one-third of the staff members of the Chinese medical library are physicians, and, therefore, are more k.nowled~able about medicine than about hbrary .. management. Nancy Fabrizio, assQCiate director of HSL, visited the Chinese library last _ fall as a guest lecturer and discussed with Gu the possibility of establishing an agreement. She pointed out tltat CAMS. as China's leading national medical research institute, is comparable to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) '" th is country. PUMC, founded in 1917 by the Rockefeller Foundation, is rated one of the top medical schools in China. he relationship between the two T libraries began in 1981 when HSL Director Huang, the author of a pioneer medical library management textbook, served as a World Health Organization consultant in the developmenr of a CAMS-sponsored national biomedical information center network. Dr. He Oaxun, the director of the CAMS-PtlMC Library, assumed that post in 1983 after spending several montbs here, where be received library management training at HSL. It was during this period that Dr. He and Huang developed a friendly relationship. . . . Huang pointed out that China ts hardly a newcomer in the area of medical libraries, referring to a study made by Dr. He and others. The study notes that the collecting of medical boolcs is believed to have started during' the Yi Zhou Dynasty " (1066-771 _B.C.). The account also notes that Emperor Wu pf the Han Dynasty (140-86 B.C.) ~ up a building for storing boolcs, With a collection amounting to more than 33,000 volumes, including 868 relating to medicine. 0 �Apri114, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 UBriefs Special Olympics helpers are neede_ d .o_n. ca!"pus David Maas' design for · UN poster on disarmament has been entered in international competition. )ht• , 11 mmcr. the U niv~rsity will again host the ' '"' \ .t, l State: Spttial Olymp•c Summer Games .,.h .. :t v.tll b( held June 16-- 19.

Volume 11, No. 24 • • • • • the • • • • • CONTEMPORARY eology is a lot more than just rocks. It's plate tectonics and the study of other planets. It's fossils and dinosa urs. ICs the study of ground water and its contaminants. Pat Costanzo of the Geology faculty says that many applications of geology maght he surprising to the uninitiated . They range from the study of acid rain to the effects of the depletion of the ozone layer. ... We have one sr udent who wants to go into military intelligence. A geologist can use infrared photography to describe terrain." Geology can provide important info.rmation to nutritionists, said Costanzo. For example, the soil is largely depleted of selenium, an important mineral. Even with a balanced diet, it's not possible to get enough. Then there's the issue of radon accumulation. "Radon has always been with us," said Costanzo. "It's a natural product of the deterioration of uranium." It's also a geological issue. G T he image of the contemporary geologist is diffacult to pin down. Is it tbe technocrat at a computer terminal, or is it tbe rugged outdoorsman with a pick and a knapsack? Costanzo recalls a student whom she descriJ>ed as "a sweet young thing. " In a slide sbow put together by the Geology Department, this fragile nower can be seen packing a pistol at ber hip. While out doing field research sbe had to shoot a rattlesnake in self-defense. Then she cooked it, and ate iL No, geology iso' always what you'd expect. John King, professor of geology, observed that many students are attracted to geology bY ihe opportunity to work outdoors. · "Many of them will end up working in other ways," be said, "but initially it's a cbancc to commune with nature." ~tanzo adding that wherever be or she works, a geologist looks at geology. "Just driving around in the car I ask myself, 'was that cut by a rivet'!' or 'why did they put this U!liversity on a marsh?'" a.aees. • eology is the study of the earth. It G involyes all aspects of the earth, from rocks to glacial deposits, to the earth's interior. It includes the study of fossils. :s:: :~: >: :~:: :r: ::~ ::~::~:: ~: :: :~::8::~:: :~: :~ Still, despite its myriad and diverse applications, at the moment fewer people are going into geology than used to be the case. "Just five years ago," said Charles Clemency, professor of geology, "we had a class with 70 majors. Now, just five years later, there are only I 2 or 13." What's changed? The bottom fell out of the oil industry. Five years ago, undergraduates eager to land high paying jobs were attracted by the guarantee of JObS as petroleum geologists, exelained Clemency. When the price of oil went down, companies Jet these people go, and enrollments declined . Clemency added that these things go in cycles. In a few yean, he said, when there is another inevitable oil shortage, companies will ooee again be banging on the doors of geology departments trying to snatch up senior majors. When that happens, there won' be enough petroleum geologists to go around. T o add to the woes of the Geology Department, it's the last department remaining on the Ridge Lea Campus. • ~we're the only department that people can' just wander through on their way to someplace else,~ laments Costanzo. ~ we don' have a cafeteria or even a lounge for our students. We even get people to come to our open houses. " Costanzo says that one student pub, licatioo even goes so far as to warn students not to major in geology unless they own cars. Tbe problem is not quite that severe. Tbe department does offer its introductory courses and large courses on the Amherst Campus. There is also bus service.to Ridge Lea The department is su)lf>OSed to m:ove in five years, but Costanzo says that they were promised the same thing five ·d.,..-,~ P-• earlier. can' T oday, with petroleum geology momentarily put aide, there's a big push in "bydrolol)'," or llie study of groWid water, observed Costanzo and Oemency: Many communities are concerned witb.the contamination of drinking water.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Durkin was responding to recent criticism that the program is unfairly slanted, toward ath'letes. Edward J . Hovorka, associate professor of psychology, has said that the special admissions option, which he designed 15 years ago, was never intended as a way of admitting athletes. George Hocbfield, professor of English, called the present program a version of the origin at idea of ualized admissions. • Yet, in Durkin's view, athlctic ·talent bas always been a consideration in special admissions. He denied that the policy 1oward athletes has changed substantially over the years.

This renects a higher-level of recruitment on the pan of coaches and the publicity the new athk:tic facilities have received. ''I'm especially bothered by the assumption that we're dealing wj~ / dumb jocks. These students have q~ ties that would admit them to a lot of universities. I have a feelin& that their credentials are as strolll! as tb_ose speciaJ admissions studenu in lbe other categories," Durkin noted . Taken as a whole, students accepted into the special admissions program · in 1987 bad a high school average of 82.5, compared with 90 for regular freshmen. Their combined SAT scores were 952.8 compared with 1114 for regular freshmen. However, their percentile rank in class was only 59.9, compared with 86 for regularly acoepted freshmen. But Hocbf~eld countered that the original program was intended to admit students with relatively low grades who showed literary, musical, or artistic talent. "Almost immediately it was corrupted and it remains corrupted,"' in his view. �April 7, 1988 Volume 19, No. 23 Chemistry prof has $340,000 superconductivity grant arvey said the UB Institute on Superconductivity is essential to G his research. " Without the institute, my By DAVID C. WEBB technique for making hij!h· temperature superconductmg thin films is being investigated by Assistant Professor of Chemistry James F. .Garvey. With a $340,000 three-year grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Garvey is studying the use of a technique of depositing a single beam of superconducttng material on another material. Garvey calls (he technique laserassisted molecular beam epitaxy (LAMBE). The superconducting material will actually be produced in the molecular beam, elinunating the need for further processing. The technique involves the use of a powerful laser that vaporizes a rod of metals at an extremely high temperature (up to 27 ,ooo• Fahrenheit). The rod will be made of materials that can produce a high-temperature superconductor. The metal vapor is then forced with a gas in a single stream of molecules to be deposited on another material. A revious methods of making thin films of superconductors have entailed depositing separate streams of pure metal, 'Using molecular beam epi· taxy. The layers of material must be processed by heating and cooling (annealed) after being deposited to produce the film. "With this technique, we hope to generate the thin film of superconducting material without doing the anneal- . ing," Garvey said. "The beam would be lil\e a paint spray that can deposit the ,_gm on any substrate.'" Garvey says the technique enables lbe scientist to change the chemistry of the material by adjustinj! the amount of laser light, or by pushtng the rod of material farther into the laser beam. The rod would be a specially made group of materials that make up the high-temperature superconductor, such as yttrium, barium, and copper for producing yttrium-barium-ropper oxide. research could not take place," be said. Researchers associated with the institute will test the thin films on special equipment for superconducting properties. Established with a $5 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the statewide institute is sponsoring workshops and awarding grants in superconductivity.

The institute is sponsoring a workshop from April 18 to 20 at the Hyatt Hotel. Superconductivity is the ability of cc rtam materials to carry current wnh- gle atoms or small groups of atoms. The grouping property of the laserassisted molecular beam enabled Garvey to observe the exotic molecule H1 and may enable him to produce superconducting thin films in one step. The high-temperature ceramic superconductors are frequently produced by grinding the metals , then heating and cooling them to specific temperatures. Using this "shake and bake" technique, almost anyone with the proper equipment can produce a pellet of the material. James F. Garvey One advantage to this technique may be that various formulas of superconductors will be produced relatively quickly, enabling scientists to investigate new materials in the form of thin films. Most semiconductor devices are pro- duced with thin film techniques, so reliable thin film production is important for producing semiconductors out of superconducting materials. out resistance. Before 1986, scientim believed that superconductivity could not be reached above 23 Kelvin (-41&• Farenheit). In that year; the Nobel laureates Karl A. Muller and Johannes G. Bednorz published the discovery of a copper oxide superconductor mad e with lanthanum and barium that lost all resistance to electrical current at 35 Kelvin. That work was followed in 1987 b) a discovery by Paul C. W. Cbu of the University of Houston, who subsututed yttrium for lanthanum and produced superconductivity at 93 Kelvm (-292° Farenheit). Thin films, tapes, filaments or fibe rs. dense monoliths, composites, and sin· gle crystals have all been formed from the new high temperature superconductors. Researchers at the University of Arkansas recently discoveretl a material that superconducts at -27~ Farenheit. more than 20 degrees hotter than the last discovery. 0 Senate reviews_changes in policies of .the PRB By ANN WHITCHER banges in the policies of the President's ' Review Board made since 1982 were reviewed recently by the Faculty Senate.

A highly successful pledge campaign encouraged over 140 individuals within the University to make personal cOntributions toward an endowment fund for eventual creation of a centCr for nuclear war prevention studies. According to Reichert, the group, which bas been sponsoring monthly seminars and publishing a newsletter and working papers, plans to expand its horizons. Alread y, it has developed a catalog that serves as a guide to nuclear War prevention studies at the University. , ln futu re years. co nferences such as the one this weekend will be regular events, Reichert said: " We are planning to work with secondary school teachers to introduce nuclear war alternatives into their classrooms. In addition, we plan to establish an interdisciplinary major and minor program at the Universit y so students cin obtain academic degrees in this area of study. "Our long range plans are to establis h a Center for scholarly investigation of these studies, and the facilities to serve as an information clearinghouse. n 0 able to apply qualitative measures.

In most cases, Durkin explained, the students in the program had formally applied to the University through the regular admissions process. When it looked as if they would be denied admission, they were invited to re-apply under the special admissions rubric. Of 502 applications to special admissions in 1987, 190 were accepted. A group of rotating faculty members carfully reviews each special talent application, Durkin stated ., "These faculty members aa: appointed by the senate so that tbe faculty is directly involved.

G -WIIIillm Wordsworth rowing up in rural Holland, New York, Mark Montgomery would dig his bands into the soil and consider the minerals, the crops, and the rocky formations of nature. Despite this passion, serious study of geology seemed IJ!llikely. Blind since age two, Montgomery faced obvious difficulties in doing university lab work. Now a junior political science/ philosophy major, he is taking Charl~s Clemency's Geology 103 course. I always liked earth science and when .1 saw geology listed m the schedule, 1t immediately piqued my interest." ~He came in the first day and asked if There would be any problem in his taking the course," said Clemency. ~There sure would be, I told him. " Clemency was concerned that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the 21-year-old Montgomery to surmount the problems with the lab. ~Then I thought that since blind people have very sensitive touch, he would be helped by such things as relief maps made of plasric in which moun~ tains and other structures stick up in the air.~ But there were other obstacles. For instance, Montgomery couldn\ differentiate minerals by color. ~1 thought that he would be able to feel the different striations on the surface of the minerals, but he couldn\. So I sat down with him and drew up a list of things he could experiment with if he was willing to take a chance. I would get someone to tutor him ... he tutor and lab instructor turned out to be Patricia Costanzo, T research assistant professor of geology, who now meets with Mark three hours a week. Says Costanzo: ~Mark can identify many minerals and rocks. He can feel things quite easily like rock cleavages and fractures. He can even do a streak test." She explains: ~A lot of minerals look very much alike. To_ tell them apart, you streak them across a tiny unglazed porcelain plate, as if you had a piece of chalk in your band. If minerals are of a certain hardness, they won\ leave a mark. If they're soft, \hey will leave .a mark, wbkh is another clue to thetr "M own," ark is certainly holding his said Clemency. He got a identification." ~Graphite will leave a mark, while quartz will not," Montgomery pomts out. This demands an extraordinarily sensitive touch, Costanzo says ... It's like going up to the blackboard and saying ' I feel that something is written here.' ~some things are pretty difficult for Mark. Dr. Clemency teaches to a large group in a large classroom, and a lot of things are on overheads ... Montgomery comments: "Dr. Clemency takes special lengths to expiain things very clearly, and if I have any questions, I go down and talk to him after the lecture about the panicular overhead I didn\ understanjl." Clemency gives extensive verbal accompaniment to each overhead projection, citing corresponding material in the text as he goes along. ~still, it's trick y," says Costanzo. ~There are a lot of graphs, drawings, and illustrations. • Montgomery continues to make extensive use of his braille periodic table. In addition, models of various molecular structures have helped him to advance. For instance, as his hands move over a.model, he learns about the tetrahedral shape of the molecule that is the basic building block of all the silicate minerals. Says Costanzo: ~Mark can take the isolated tetrahedron molecule and stan putting these together to mah a real oving his bands over the model, Montgomery discusses a single M chain of molecules and then a double chain, describing the points of convergence where an oxyP."n atom is shared. Finally, he can 1dentify a "sheet structure." Models also help Mark discern the structures of certain crystals. Crystallography involves minerals, says Costanzo, ~but here we are talking about geometric relationships." Sometimes Montgomery uses his body to understand a natural structure. For instance be uses his forearm to demonstrate 'bow sandstone pillars in the mesa were left standing because of differential erosion. His arm, pointed upright, becomes the pillar. Comments Costanzo: ~AU the sandstone around the pillar has been eroded. You see these interesting, artistic formations out west. They look like tabletops. ~ A mesa will eventually weather down to just a pillar. This is because the top strata of rock is more resistant to a weathering than the lower strata. The lower strata will become very narrow and the top strata will become this tabletop." Another lab exercise helps Montgomery understand weathering. Through Costanzo's help, he can understand how strong the hydrogen bonding is in water. He puts two glass slides in water and then plaq;s them together. It seems impossible to pull them apart. C on the mid-term and ~ould probably have gotten a B or. maybe an A• · things weren\ so difficult. ~rf you kne Dr. Clemency's tests," says Costanzo, ~ou'd know that a C was a prelly good mark. • The highest mid-term mark was in the 70's, she said. In Clemency's class, Mark, who liv in the dorms, takes notes on a Ve':Sa braille portable word processor, With keys similar to those on ~ braillewnter. Then he stores htS notes 10 the computer and can also get a bard copy printed in braille. While a reader recites the textbook chapters, Montgomery takes notes on whatever he deems pertinent. ~The first time we met," says Costanzo, ~r really dido\ bring anythmg with me. So we used a book off the Library shelf. We were able to talk about the book having three axes to describe its orientation in 3-D space." Montgomery Is also doing well in his other courses and particularly enJoys studying modem political systems .. He plans to be a lawyer and may ~o tnt.o environmental law, thereby usmg hts Flogy training.

If they cannot commit, we would have to scale down the office building from the present 200,000 gross square feet to 100,000 gross square feeL" The project will proceed even if SUNY doesn \ come through, Barberg indicated . Barberg & Associates bas secured the necessary bonds, he added. Robert .L Wagner, vice president for University services, said "'the University is interested in leasing 80,000 net square feet of space at Parcel B. We are currently in discussions with SUNY officials on this issue." · C onstruction of the hotel is first on the agenda, but aU parts of the projecU are expected to be completed at the same time near the end of 1989, Joseph Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation, told the Buffalo News. It is anticipated that more than 1,100 people will worlr. in the hotel, offices, and stores if the project is built as planned. .

The ten-story hotel, in the style of an Embassy Suites Hotel, will have a .. tropical atrium ," 290 two-bedroom suites, and another nine meeting rooms. Each meeting room will overlook Lake LaSalle. Each suite will have a living room, a bar, refrigerator, sink, and microwave oven. Guests can bring their own food and beverages "without the usual restrictions." Each suite will sleep six people. . There will be a restaurant and lounge , a 65-foot swi mming p ool, jacuzzi, sauna. steam room , game room, exercise room, free ""cook to order" breakfasts, and a complimentary, two-hour cocktail hour each evening . AdditionaJJy, the hotel will feature a two-story ..elegant ballroom" that will open to an outdoor terrace with a stairway going down to the lakeshore. Inside the ballroo m there will be a .. pre-function" area, with another stairway ieading from the ballroom down to the hotel atrium. center will have T he27,800conference gross square feet and nine meeting rooms, each measuring 32' x 32'. These rooms will have Jqovable interior walls in order to malr.e a banquet facility seating 1200 people. Each meeting room in the conference center will have separate heat4t$ and lighting controls and aU events mside the center will be monitored by closedcircuit video. Also, conference organizers will be able to videotape talks and lectures through equipment installed at the center. As for the 12-story office building, Barberg says be hopes to lease a little over half of it to the UnivefSity. "The rest would be leased to regular commercial tenants." be retail space will consist of T 72,900 gross square feet. Inside the mall, there will be a food court where ethnic and fast food will be served. Barberg expects the retail outlets to be a combination of convenience stores and speciality shops. "Already we've bad lots of interest (from ' prospective tenants)." Barberg expects the hotel and conference center to attract conferences from all over the world. "We really won't be geared to the normal business trade. Typically, guests will be coming for two to four days." Mansfield has said the academic conference center will "showcase the University for visitors nationally and internationally." Barbcrg already has developed a similar mixed-use project in Green Bay with Regency Center, a development composed of the Embassy Suites Hotel, Regency Convention Center and Regency Office Center; and with the 307 S. Barstow Street Office and Retail Building in Eau Claire. Other Barberg projects include the State Theatre Rehabilitation Project, J. C. Penney Retail Building, and Park Tower Apartments for the Elderly, all in Eau Claire . The University has been trying to develop Parcel B for more than ten years. UB will lease the J>arcel to the UB Foundation, which will sublease it to Barberg & AssoCiates. 0 �April 7, 1988 Volume 19, No. 23 (Top) Greek Council reps gather for meeting; (immediately above) The sisters of Alpha Epsilon Phi, the sorority that sold the most papers on Kids' Day; (right) Kappa Sigma members hawking papers; they sold the most overall. Greeks By JIM McMULLEN embership in a fraternity or sor.trity brings with it more than just a social opportunity. The Greek experience offers recreational, service, and philanthropic opportunities, too, said Robert M Henderson, associate director for the Student Activities Center. Henderson, tbe administrative liaison for Greek organizations at UB, mentioned the arinual Kids' Day newspaper sale to benefit Children's Hospital, the Community Action Corps' annual "Pride in Buffalo~ cleanup campaign, and the playground construction project at the Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC). Those activities are major events for the Greeks, said Russell Dir~, presi• dent of the Inter-Greek Council (IGC). Greeks arc also active in a host of smaller events. Those· include Red Cross blood drives, local telethons, Heart Association benefits, and more. ~We get involved in .almost evcrythmg people ask for," said Diragi. vNot everything is on as large a scale as Kids' Day, so th'ere arcn' 1,000 Greeks at every activity, but there's usually some involvement."' That involvement provides a boost for these activities. This year, the IGC was the second-biggest contributor to Kids' Day. UB Greeks raised over S15,000 during the event, placing just after Mc!tT Bank in the amount of funds raised. That amount, added to the money raised during Greek Week and other events, will bring UB Greeks' total contributions to charity to almost $30,000 thiS year. Money isn' the only contribution Greeks make to the community, bowever. IGC docs not require community service, but a lot of it gets done by fra- ternities and sororities nonetheless Diragi said. ' ~ addition to tbe E!=R!= playground proJCCl, several orgaruzat10ns have set up vsafe houses" in the University Hei~ts area in conjunction with the Ann-Rape Task Force. These groups have also provided free ride and escortservices for night-time travelers in the area. All of these activities contribute to the quality of campus ' life, Henderson said. Yet a lot of this activiry takes place quietly. For example, there weren' thousands· of stingers oo campus adve"~ lt.ids' Day. That's the · norm with many commUDity servi<:c and dwitable activities the Greeu are Membership means more than social opportunity, leaders say involved in. "You don' have to advertise to reach your own members,"' Henderson said . bat contrasts with the heavy adverT tising of fraternity parties, which arc: the most obvious contributions of Greeks to campus life. Those parties and events related to them are also what brings these groups the most nak. "Some of the less conscientious fraternity members think a good program is an acre of clear land with a keg of beer in the middle," Henderson said. vsome members don' rcalizc bow negative their actions are. We hope that the good student voices will be beard, and that mcssqes and events with difficult emotional baggase will be curtailed within each cilapteT. "These problems are oot limited to fraternity members, thouglL There is a strong message in America that equates being an American man with drinking. American society basn' faced up to the problem. MSome of the more mature Greeks arc struggling with the idea of programs that arcn' alcobol..:cotered. Unfortunately it's often difficult to impose on others what you think a good non-alcoholic program would be," be said. A 11ood number of campus social activiues arc Greek_,;poosored_ Those include parties, intramural sports, and dance marathons. Without Greek in'tolvemeot, social life here would be ~ore boring," Diragi said. "People focus on our social aspect because that's what they · see," said Scott M_iranda, president of Alpha Delta Phi. What people don' notice is the ~?reck ~ a pl:Un jacket doing commuruty ICI'VICC work~ "We don' wear letters everywhere we go. We don' have to do that to pro>te a point, .but we arc out lhcrc and involved in community and student life promotion," Miranda said. vwe work bard and we also play _bard. Uofortuoately most people doo' notice tbe work," said Dou&W Barth, president of Alpha Cbi Rho. . ... What we need to work on now IS encojlraging Greek spirit at the Univer-sity , ~ he noted. "Sometimes the only things encouraged arc the differences and rivalries between fraternities. That's unfortunate, because the groups have a lot of similarities. Nearly I ,000 Greeks working together can produce some really positive results." Tbe projected construction of Greek Row next to the Amherst Campus sboold help bring that about, Barth said. Greek Row, still in tbe planning stages, will be open for occupancy in August of 1989, according to Associate Vice Provost Dennis Black. At .present, eight groups are fmnly comrrutted to the project, which involves construction of stx 44-persoo dwellings. The number of groups Will have to come down to six before plans arc fonalized. vWe're still working out questions about · fonanciog, governance, and the tenns and conditions of University and organization participation in project," said Black. The design of shell for the buildings has been upon, as has the site on Road, but not the specifics of design. "Greek Row won' be a panacea the naws that Greek have, but policies and goals and worked oo to correct Henderson said. The IGC will also promote Greek lif~ during Greek Week, scbeduled for Apr:il 28-May I. That week, Greeks will participate in a series of competitions, fund-raisers and parties to celebrate Greek life, said Greek Week-coordinator Bret Gelber. P romotion of Greek life means promotion of student life in general, said Henderso11. Fraternities and sororities provide a small social group students can feel accepted in. Group commitment in tum can lead to a satisfying and productive experience at the Uruvcrsity. vMembenhip (in Ajpba Epsilon P.hiJ bas been one of my major lcamiDJ! experiences at UB," said chapter president Marla Cbcsnoff.

By ANN WHITCHER P olitical polling reverb. crates throughout_the campaign. Who {l.t'C these unseen interlocutors? Gerald Goldhaber, UB procssor of communication and a profes;ional pollster, says there's a difference >etween private and public polling. "Private polls are commissioned by :he candidate, a political party, a PAC, >r a private group such as a chamber >f commerce. Candidates use this pri<ately held data to help them plan and !Xecute a race. For obvious strategic reasons, -the results of the poll are not usually released to the public. "Some candidates release their privately commissioned polls if they think they can gain more than they would lose. Some candidates or their advison; :lo this because they think the poll results will help them raise money or :reate a perceived bandwagon effect." He continues: "It used to be that a ::andidate could commission an extensive private poll and then release only a pan of it, the pan that made him look the best. Now there's a New York law that says that if you release a ponion o~ a pnvate poll, you have 48 houl1 to release the whole polL" Goldhaber knows of no other state with such a law. ational that poll for RepubN licans include Robert Teeter's Market Opinion Research in Detroit Firms :George Bush), the Wirttllin Group :Reagan and Dole), Lance Tarrance of Houston (Jack Kemp), and Arthur Finkelstein, who works for "mostly right wing conservatives." The major pollsten; for Democrats .,.. Peter Han (Walter Mondale), Paul Maslin (Paul Simon), Pat CaddeJI :Jimmy Carter) and David Garth :Aibert·Gore). "I don' think any of the big name Democratic pollsten; are working for Dulcalcis or Jackson," Goldhaber said. Goldhaber's firm polls for both Democrats and Republicans. He says it's important for a pollster "not to beeome too ideologically aligned to the ::andidate. If a pollster gets too close to the candidate, this tends to reinforce the candidate's positions and points of view. It raises serious questions about objectivity." · H ow accurate is polling? Very, says Goldhaber. "Polling has grown tremendously. We've learned an awful lot about sampling and how to ask questions so that we get the informalJon we want from the people we want to interview.~ Still, it's bard to poll for a primary, Goldhaber maintains, because relatively few n:gjsten:d voten; will tum out. Of the eight million registered voten; in New York, only about one-founb will likely show up for the April 19 primary, he states. "How do I make sure that I'm reaching that one-founh?" Goldhaber believes the Republican turnout for the New York primary will be ·~inuscule , " now that Bush is assured of the nomination. "If you get a half million who show up, it will be a big number, but who cares. Why would you vote in the Republican primary, when there 's no election? ublic polls, Goldhaber explains, P usually commissioned by news organizations. "Usually they're interested are in knowing one thing: who's ahead. Public polls are usually cheaper to do than private polling, smce only a few questions are asked and they don' take as long to do. And, of coun;e, the data are released." On occasion public polling is done by non-media organizations. such as Goldhaber Research Associates. "We pay for it ou....lves for the publicity it gives us." Goldhaber finds that only a tiny portion of his work is political in nature. "It (the political work) is very high- p.-ofile. But actually it accounts for less than five per cent of our work. We'n: a full-service market and opinion research firm. This is the same with any of them - Bob Teeter, the Wirtblin Group, etc. Primarily they work .with commercial ' corporations." Well-known polling companies like Gallup and Harris usually restrict their political work to public polling, supplementing it with a wtremendous amount" of non-political market research, said Goldhaber. Many of "It's hard· to poll for. a primary," says Goldhaber, because· relatively few will turn out to vote; "How do I make sure I'm reaching those who will. . . ?" 1bese firms are linked in the public mind with specific news organizations. "Now you see news organizations doing it themselves . For example, then: an: polls conducted jointly by the Los Ang~l~s T'unes and Cable News Network, and CBS and the Ntw York Timts. What happens is that these media organizations get so involved with polling, they bin: their own per- "If Jackson does well in New York and Pennsylvania, then you pave to consider him a candidate who will be a thn:at to be nominated, and he should be nominated if he's the leader in delegates." He adds: "In national polling, the majority of voten; don' believe trust or like Jackson. At the same time, he's got a message that'~ being communicated, and be's doing it in an exciting way. That's a perfect example of the ability of the medium to communicate beyond the message or the messenger." New York Daily News poll on March 24, says Goldhaber, shows A Dulcalcis at 45 per cent in New York State, Jackson at 29 and Gore at five . ·•But when Cuomo was included it was Cuomo, 57 per cent, Jackson, 16 per cent and Dukakis, 13. So if Cuomo comes in, Dukakis' campaign (in New York State) eventually evaporates." Cuomo, says Goldhllber, bas "excitement, stature, and a message. He probably would be the strongest Democratic candidate. I think his running is mon: and mon: a possibility. He bas failed to endorse a candidate, which is . a -clear signal of his availability and interest. I think he's waiting for the (Democratic) field to self-destruct and it is." 0 Symposium on 'radical poetries' will run April11-14 By PATRICIA DONOVAN ike tbe abstract anists with whom they an: frequently compared, "radical poets" pose difficult, if intriguing problems for the reader. One, for instance, calls birn.elf a "PCOET" because, regardless of what he writes, what you "C" determines wb&t you get. Also "CO" implies a joint effort by writer and reader and he probably works on a "PC". ln an attempt to .assess the position of the "radical" poetries, the PoetryI Rare Book Collection and Department of English will offer a symposium on "Radical Poetries/Critical Address," April 11-14 on the Amben;t Campus. . Radical poets frequently deconstruct laJiiuage, explore it, restructure it, and so, re-present not only the frame, but the -eontenl and meaning of the "picture" we have come to see in a limned way. ·Tbe effect · ~y be ~tartling,. st~­ ning, profoundly diSturbt~g, but tt Will al-ys involw the reader 10 tbe p~ocess as something other than s1mple observer. For the language poet, tbe experience · brought to the poem by the reader is considered to alter the poem in ways the poet is unable to predict. These poets do not seek to· "structure" the reader's experience of the material, but (o offer access to a new means of perception that changes the reader's sense L of the world. The radical or "posHtructuralist" poetry has no consistent mode of expression, may appear to have no rules, and seems to deliberately frustrate comprehension. With its peculiar syntax (or lack thereof), love of pun and refusal to sit still on the page like good little poetry, it defies analysis while luring the n:ader into another linguistic dimension. The early "radicals" include Genrude Stein, Laura Riding, Louis Zulcofslcy and Charles Olson, with a genuflection in the direction of William C.irlos Williams. Their ranks also include contemporary language poets like Ron Silliman, Don Byrd, Charles Bernstein and Susan Howe, who both admin: and depan from the . work of writen; like Wallace Stevens, Jack Kerouac, Ted Berrigan and Robert Creeley. They have nearly all tended to work outside academia and even to distrust it. · these poets may successfully resist interpretation. But most of them would insist that their work is accessible to the reader who fends off the urge to seek "deeper metni11g" anc! who enjoys the play of the iangua8e. mong the panieipants who will diacusa various aspects of the development of radical poetries an: Matjorie Perloff, well known critic from Stanford (Pottiu o_f lnd~t~r- A minacy); poet and critic Charles Bernstein (Content 's [}rea~. L=A=N=G= U=A=G=E), and poet, painter and critic Susan Howe (Dtftntslration of Pragw, Articulation of Sound Poems. My Emily Dick~nson). Literary scholars from UB, Temple Univen;ity, SUNY-Albany and Rutgen; Univen;ity' will complete the roster of panelists. They include Bruce Comens, professor of English at Temple; UB faculty Henry Sussman, Jack Clarice, Joseph Conte and Stacy Hubbard, and UB graduate student Linda Reinfeld. Other panelists an: poet Rosemary Waldrop (Rtproduction of Proftlt), who is also the publisher of Bunting Deck Pn:ss · and a highly respected Fn:nch/ English translator; Stein critic Marianne O.Koven of Rutgen; University, and poet Don Byrd, professor of English, SUNY-Albany. , Perloff will open the symposium with a lecture on "Artifice. Once More: PostStructuralism in the Age of Donahue" (April II, 3 p.m., 112 O'Brian Hall). use of repetitive statements, presents an uninterrupted series of instantaneous visions in an attempt to give the reader a moment in what she called "the complete actual present." ike Stein, Charles Olson, whose L work also will be addressed by the symposium (Apn1 12, 2 p.m., 608 Cle- mens), exalted the pal!" - itself as a "place to enact a liVIDg moment." Through various means, says Bernstein, Olson breaks down cas)' distinctions between saga, chronicle, JOurnal, essay, myth, narrative and other modes of address. ...-, A fourth panel (April 13, 2 p.m., 608 Clemens) Will consider I~ poetry in the context of its assum.r.llons and essentially discuss what it is abOut."

"That's why one year one thing gets done one way, and the next year it gets done another way. I want things to be consistent." Next on his agenda is to change stu· dents' attitudes. The new president realizes be may be fighting an uphill battle on this issue. But be believes he has found the way to make a change. Instead or'just promising to interact more with students and then simply waiting for the ~ses to come to his Talben Hall offi~ as previous administrations have done Tahara .plans to take his case to his constituency. "I plan on setting up outreach stations around campus where we can go to the students and talk to them and then get their questions and comments on various issues," he said. "It will be a convenient way for students to express their views." Tahara said his outreach stations will be located in student centers, such as the dorms, so that all a student has to do is walk ~own the hall to air a complaint. "I want to emphasize personal contact," he said. If all goes well, three outreach stations will be set up this semester, one each in the Governors, Ellicott, and Main Street dormitories. By FRANK BAKER ewly-<:lected Student Association President Bob Tahara knows that an impressive student government · re s ume doesn' necessarily mean an impressive year in office. In fact, given the last few student administrations at UB, it could mean a turmoil-filled year in which not much is accomplished"/ Not this time, insisted Tahara. "I've been here a few yea rs, and I've seen people who believed in different th ings become president and then not follow through on their promises" for a variety of reasons. including politics, he said. " I'm not a political person. I don' deal with pettiness and I don' play politics." Indeed; Tahara, a member of th e victorious Phoenix Pany - which also captured the vice president (Sheryl Groden) and treasurer (J oe Manella) offices, has shown a history of stayi ng away from politics while in the student asse mbly and senate. " I've always avoided politics and go ne wit h things that were best for the stud ents." said Tahara. "It he lps that I'm a moderate and have views which are the same as man y different organizations, both liberal and conservative."' N ahar~ a junior honors st udenl with T a 3.8 grade point average, has been involved in UB student government fro m day one of his college career. As a freshman, Tahara. a psychology major and pre-med student , was a member of the st ud ent assembly. By year's end, he was speaker of the assembly. Last year he served fi rst as a dorm se nator ·and then as senate chair, a position he held unt il his election to the presidency. "This is my last year and I want to do something good fo r the Universi ty," stated Tahara. "This is a d isjointed University with no rcaJ traditions other than the spring and fall fests . I'd like to stan some." Although Tahara admitted this won' be a cinch to accomplish, he said it is a necessity if UB is to finally shed its label as an "apathetic" university. " It 's not an easy thing to do. I think tlfe student union will help eventually, but we need something to be done soon." ahara said he is not in awe of his _ job, nor is he overwhelmed by the size of his responsibility. He said it just takes a little balancing of time. "I know the job, and I know what's going on," he said. " I just have to budget my time well or 111 die. "I haven\ died yet," be added. "1 realize that I'm ·one person and that I can\ do it all," he satd. " I know my limitations. I know that if it becomes too much of a chore to d o both academics and this job, that I should bail out. "I was elected because I promised to do a good job for the students. If I can\, then it's not fair for me to stay." Tahara quickly added that be <l.oesn\ foresee any such problems occurring. "There's a Jot of stress now, but as long as you realize that you're only one person and you don' overextend yourself, you're fine." He concluded: "I think I can benefit the students. I don\ want to look back a year from now and say I squandered my time in office. "I want to make a difference." 0 T Whatever that something turns out to be, Tahara said iL will definitel y be so mething " th at will benefit the students." n the meantime, Tahara said his list of things to do includes three very prominent issues. " I want to make sure the fests run smoothly. I also want to tum around I Bob Tahara ... students' attitudes about student government, and I want to re-write the (Student Association) constitution." Tahara said there are too many ambiguities in the SA Constitution. These have caused difficulties in how student government works from year to year.

UB plans to field team for Bike Trek '88 fund-raiser P lans are under way to field a University team for " Bike Trek '88," a fund-raiser for the American Lung Association of Westem •New York. Diane DeBacy, associate professor of exercise science, says Bike Trek '88 will take place August 5-7 and August 1214. It is up to the UB group which weekend they will choose. The fmt weekend will take riders to Letchworth State Park and the west~ portion of the Finge·r Lakes region. On both nights, panicipants will stay at Geneseo State College. During lhe second weekend, riders will bike through the Amish country and camp outside Randolph High School. They will also spend a night at Camp Chautauqua located about three miles from ~ _Cb~tauqua Institution. Those pan1apatmg will b1ke SO miles a day. U B, like other institutional teams, has a target of $3,000 in pledges. Bikers are responsible for signing up their own pledges. However, the American · Lung Association will take care of the billing for...all pledges of at least $10. There is a minimum of $250 in pledges for each biker. ' Entry is open to all those in good health who have at least a three-5peed bike. Family members and friends may also sign up for the UB team, assuming they obtain pledges. Those under 17 must be accompanied by an adult. ti~ be Lung Association will give T on bo to get sponsors and will also co uct six training rides beginning in late May or early June. The association bas a goal of 20 teams and would like to have 400 panicipants over tbe two weekends, said spokeswoman Joanne Johnson. Last year, the association raised $100,000 through the Bike Trek. The average qc of participants is 3 I, though many older individuals typically take pan." The Lung Association will pay for meals and accommodations. Those electing the camping weekend in Chautauqua must have a tent aDd sleeping bag. The associaton will also provide mC{Iical personnel along the route. A bicycle repair . vehicle will travel with the group on both weekends. Helmets are mandatory. OeBacy will help with conditioning where required. In order to ftnalize plans, she needs to hear from interested persons by April IS .

In other words , a mathematical hypothesis showing how the vo rtices move. rr he concept of f~tals was first proposed by Benoit B. Mandelbrot of Yale University and the International Business Machines Corp. He coined the term when contemplating natural complicated geometric shapes like snowflakes. Kazarinoff, recently elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancemtnt of Science for his teaching and writing, spent parts of last May and June researching his fractal work on the NCSA supercomputer. Researchers studying liquid flow. Kazarinoff said, were taking a very ordinary equation and finding strange patterns emerging after graphing it. Then. when Enrico Bombieri of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University came to 1.:18 as a visiting professor three years ago, be showed Kazarinoff, who is also interested in liquid flow. the work . . Taking an equation, they worked out its answer and then kept carrying the process on - finding the answer of the answer of the answer - unt il they had a self-symmetrical graph of spirals . .... We couldn"t see any order to it, but already you could see that the more and more terms you added ro it was giving it chaotic behavior,"' Kazarinoff T W hen Nicholas Kazarinoff is pressed to explain fr~tals he points to a segment of a poem he used . to mtroduce a recent paper on the topic. The lines go: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Th1ngs fall apart; the centre cannot hold .... " The UB mathematics professor, who has been doing research on fractals the past three years, doesn't mention that the very next line of the William Butler Yeats poem, "The Second Coming," is, "Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." The sense of mathematical chaos and anarchy that is the stuff of fractals is disconcerting to the less mathematically astute among us. Kazarinoff, though, revels in it. Chaol_? Fractals? Just what is this witch's brew K.azarinbff is working on? S ensing c:Onfusion on the subject in . this reporter, Kazarinoff, eyes peerJOg over the rims of his glasses, goes to the blackboard on one office wall. "Well, repetition is the mother of education," be says as be erases the eq uations already on the board. "Think of a point on a plane," he says, drawing a graph on the board. "Say we want to get the function of that point, 'P. • Then we want to get the fu n.ction of the function of that point, wh1ch places us off in another area. Next we want to get the function of the function of the function of that point 'P,' and so on into infinity." Each time the equation · goes to the next step, the answer - the function of "P"- moves to a differentl'lace on or off the graph. Fractals are al<in to the idea of geometric patterns continually repeating themselves in mathematical equations, getting smaller and smaller into a seeming infinity. ;!Pink of the butter company ad that shows the Native American woman on its carton holding a carton of the butter that, in turn, also bas her {'icture on it holding the carton. The p1cture keeps getting smaller and we see her within a picture <lf her holding a carton of the butter within another picture of her holding a carton of the butter, repeated into ever decreasing pictures. "Well, that's a primitive way of understanding it," Kazarinoff said. T he idea of self-symmetry, that the decreasing or enlarged part of the figure completely resembles the whole, lies at the heart of fractals. Each successive step along the path resembles the previqus. Along with self-symmetry, then, goes the idea of fractional dimension. Since each successive enlargement of ·a smaller area looks like the previous larger area or C$juation, n'otions of scale disappear. .. Every domain is symmetric,"' said Kazarinoff, now leaning in close to . explain and show his graphics. "But we l. see a finite limib in nature. The notion of infinity is mainly in our heads. Mathematics -can go on, it can carry on an eq uatio n until you describe it. ... Taking a basic building block, like a sum of sines and cosines, KazarinofT can put the equation on a graphics com puter to get the pattern and analyze it, prilving thai what happens on a large scale is continually repeating itself. For example, .take the equation to get the function of " P" in the graph, "f(P)." Continually plugging the answer into the equation and graphing it leads to an intricate portrait of the equation. When done on the Cray supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications {NCSA) at the University of Illinois, ChampaignUrbana, the enhanced geometric image's appear in seconds rather than hours and can be colored in. The result is a picture of the equation that looks like a series of spirals, or a continuing set of musical notes, or any other set pattern. A seeming order arises out of seeming chaos. W ith all the pictures of equations with interwo.Yen colors ·there is a question hovering in the background, ready to spring out at the mathematician as he explains his research ....

It's a vadeo monitor that responds to your touch, connected to a microcomputer full of information.

D Meeting looks at Great Lakes environmental issues By JIM McMULLEN F rom the birth of industry un.til mid-way through this century, business made all its own decisions regarding the environment and industrial impact on the environment. The past few decades, however, have seen a growth in public input and influence in environmental decisions and constraints on industry, said Errol Meidinger,, UB law professor. Meidinger's remarks came during the close of a weekend conference, "Environmental Dispute Resolution in the Great Lakes Region : A Critical Appraisal," March 19. UB Law Professor Virginia Leary addressed international concerns during a panel discussion. In some international environmental disputes, said Leary, politics ulces precedence over science, to the detriment of any timely resolution. For this reason, environmental issues of an international nature, such as the cur- rent dispute over toxics in the Niagara River, ought to be studied by an international agency, she said. However, she noted, the International Joint Commission, the agency which deals with water boundaries, has been dropped from the list of groups involved in solving that problem. Instead, individual agencies of the Canadian and American governments have worked toward a solution. The result has been much talk but no action, she indicated. The key to resolving environmental conflicts is an approach free from political influences, Leary said. An international body, "somewhat above the political arena," could look at the "whole picture." This way: an environmental problem could be approached and resolved from a technical and philosophical approach. rather than a political one. when dealing Similar coni:erns with local environmental problems. arne The dispute over the Love Canal area in Niagara Falls, for example, has also been bound up in political considerations, according to Adeline Levine, UB professor of sociology. The Love Canal area was declared a disaster area in the late 1970s because of the presence of hazardous chemicals in the soil, water, and atmosphere. The major concern has been whether the area is habitable or can be restored to a habitable condition. "A lot of forces wanted to declare the area safe after the original buyout of homes (by the State)," she said. n 1982, Environmental Protection Iarea•Agency study determined that the was habitable. That study received an a great deal of criticism. In the view of some critics, the report included falsified or poorly done research and m15taken or premature conclusions, Levine said. -A technical r£vi~w committee has since been established to ensure that study of the area is done is a scientifically credible manner and to supervise cleanup of the site, she said. That comJDittee has had to take into account its iesponsibility to the citizens .of the area, who demanded a say about the makeup of the committee. It also had to consider its accountability for the scientific expertise of its members, something the EPA study failed to do. A lesson, said Lcvinet is that scientists must take seriously tbe social and politi~ context in which they worll. Scienfuts and politicians must get used to "working in a f11bbowl," said Russell Stone, prof.,.or arid chair of Sociology. These groups must learn to work together with the public and to be accountable to the public in resolving envi onmental conflicts, said StaDt. bat's important is the process of involving sovcrnment, science, and interested citizens in open decisionmak.ing.ft 0 Greatbatch elected to National· Engineering ~cademy ilson Greatbatch, an adjunct UB professor and president of Greatbatcb Gen-Aid Ltd ,, bas been elected a member of the prestigious National Academy of En11ineering (NAE) for inventing the fmt tmplantable human heart pacemaker.

The tension in Butler Auditorium was almost palpable. Even casual observers were biting their nails. This was. the day when the senior med ical students found out where they would spend tbcir ·hospital residencies. Students bad listed their choices and were matched throush computer with programs acrou the country. The students waited nervously for thei r names to be called. To mak.e the anticipation more c:rue1, the envelopes wtren\ in alpbabetical order. A group of atudeots toward the front of the auditorium opened a bottle of cbampagoe eva~ belore • their names wtre called, pedlaps out of confidence that they were there to celebrate.

Then came soUDda of rippias paper, ~allowed by squeals and abouts; hUJBIDg ~d clappins, horvh!uokea and baclc-c~ptng. In a few cases, there was disappointed silence. "We're within a percentage point of last year, which was a particularly good match year," noted Denrus Nadler, M.D. assistant dean of student aiTatrs in the' School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Of the 131 participants, about 60 per cent got their first choice. About 14 per cent were matched with their second choice and about 8 per cent, with their third . Only about 7 per cent w_ere matched below their fourth chOice, according to Nadler. , Cameras flashed and champagne corks popped like fll'tcrockers on the Fourth of July. The Jrilup near th~ front of the auditonum opened a second bottle. There was an announcement about a party to be held that evening at Paddy O's. Then the shouts subsided and the noise fell to an excited babble as students compared notes with friends on the pros and cons of the~r destinations.

From these movements they created crude calendars to keep track of the proper times to hold religious ceremonies. The practice of marking the passage of time was widespread. The Druids had observation points such as Stonehenge, and the anctent Chinese, Aztecs, and Mayas were well known for their abilities in this field. "Very simply put, about as long ago as we have any archaeological evidence, man has been taking account of time," said Clifton Ycarley, professor of history at UB. Then in llth-<:entury Europe an invention was created that was .. as much a technological breakthrougll as the launching of Sputnik or getting • man on the moon," Yearley not~d. The invention was the clock - and time as Westerners know it today. ~~An important thing 10 remember is that while philosophers have debated about time for a thousand years, and have asked 'Did God make time?,' in point of fact , man really invented time." said Yearley. .. It was one of the most imponant inventions, and it is an invention just as surely as the laser is an invention ... And what man invents, man will change. In the wee hours of last Sunday morning, 2 o'clock arbitrarily beeame 3 o'clock as we followed the daylight saving time ritual of "spring forward , fall back." This year the change fell on Easter. making many more churchgvers late for services and throwing holiday dinner plans into confusion: .. I know we were supposed to be there at 4. but the baby thinks it 's 3, and he's still napping!" The idea behind daylight saving time is efficiency - to get as many daylight hours as you can for work, Yearley explained . .. 1 think it's a nuisance,'" he opined . "I don\ sec that it makes for greater efficiency or savings . .. aylight saving time staned in Britain in World War 1. he explained. The U.S. entered the war, and in 1917 Congress set up daylight saving time here. It remained in effect until the end of the war. The idea was revived in the 1930s, and put into effect by federal action shortly after the bombin~ of Pearl Harbor. It was deactivated as a national system at the end of World War II. Federal daylight savi ng time was reinstated in 1967 because of an energy crisis, and remained in effect a year or two. When a worse energy crisis occurred in 1973, it was again resur· reeled by the feds. It was supposed to expire in 1975, but was extended with the proviso that it's up to the states to decide when it sho uld be in effect. All of this flip-flopping in timekeeping wouldn\ be possible without the clock, the invention that brought about what historians call the "time revolution" and distinguished Western civilization from the rest of the world, Year ley said . D raditionally, time-keeping was a reLigious function - religious leaders had to know when to celebrate holy days. The development of more precise time-keeping came in a religious setting - monasteries - but there were practical reasons for its developmenL The monks warued to withdraw from the world to a degree and devote their lives to prayer. Their monasteries had T to be self-sufficient, so the monks had to divide their day between prayer and work or they would starve. To make maximum use of their time, they began to measure time more precisely, Yearley said. "This led to the development of "The idea behind daylight saving time is efficiency - to get as many daylight hours as you can for work; it's a nuisance." clocks," he said. "They were engineering Teats, feats of craftsmanship." Clocks did more than teU time. They also had religious and philosophical significance, he explained . The mechanism replicated the movements of the sun. planets, and universe: as they were understood then. If want an image of how impor. tant the clock was, . .. .~~Ito. Yearley says, look at a 13th century town in Europe such as Cologne or Zurich. The clock was so important it formed the centerpiece of the town. he clock made it possible to . organu.c man's effons and make societies more productive. That was significant for most European communities that, as late as the 19th century, lived on the edge of famine and economic disaster, he said. When Europe began to industrialize. people had to get used to the new nouon of malting their labors obedient to time. Before, a farmer would get up whenever be wanted and eat whenever he could, Yearley explained. But factory owners dido\ appreciate a peasant strolling to for work at 10 or II in the morning instead of 8. "The industrial world demanded an accounting of time just as it demanded _an accounting of money," Yearlcy said. People bee;ime more regulated by time than by seasons or the natural T environment. "By the 17th and 18th centuries, time was divested of i.t s cosmological, tt:ligious significance," he said. "It gave way to the imperat ives of commercial. industrial, and societal pressure - time is money.'" be precision of time-keeping was refined even more to help navigation, he noted. For sailors, charting latitude was no problem. Using an astrolabe, they could determine latitude by the altitude of the stars. · Bot for longitude, they relied on dead reckoning. Longitude could be measured using time, but that requ ired a clock accurate to the second.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

As for areas needing improvement, Filvaroff says ~ do not have the .resources to meet fully the demands of a law school of this size and quality. We also lack the advantages of time and money to support faculty research." He expl81DS that some disciplines are better suited to seeking outside grants, dean Filvaroff's agenda is created for him By ANN WHITCHER D avid Filvaroff settles into his O"Brian office and draws on a cigarette. The new dean of the law school bas been on the job for less than three months. He freely admits it's a big change from teaching law to administering SUNY's only law school. The 56-year-old Filvaroff came here from the University of Texas at Austin, where be taught for 15 years. ~Essentially, my agenda is created for me. There is the responding to crises and problems and the day-to-day flow of business. The pace is different. There is less time to reflect, read, and spend time talking to students and faculty. " The new dean expects this to change as he beeomes more familiar with the school's operation. Filvaroff says he's especially concerned about the threatened loss of State University Supplemental Tuition Assistance (SUSTA) to about 200 law students. ~Governor Cuomo's proposed budget would eliminate funding for SUSTA and work compensatory adjustments in the TAP (Tuition Assistance Program). Both TAP and SUSTA are needs-based programs." He continued : "The total amount of money involved currently about $325,000 - is small in terms of the overall Stale and SUNY budgets, but it is a substantial and crucial part of the law school's financial aid resources." Filvaroff says more than 20 per cent of the law students who are receiving SUSTA are economically disadvantaged black and Hispanic individuals. They have overcome "formidable barriers" in order to study law at SUNY. WeU over a third of the students, be says, are women. Four are handicapped, and 26 per cent are over 30. The latter .represent "the growing number of people who seek a career in law while raising a family and coping with other responsibilities." c "UB is considered special among law schools; Filvaroff will foster that." Fllvaroff is also busy recrwtmg an unspecified number of new faculty for the faU of 1988. "We're very attractive to prospective faculty. We're fortunate in having such an unusually rich group of candidates." F ilvaroff finds the UB law school "a very exciting place." He comments: "The faculty here are especially diverse . They represent a broad range of legal philosophies and include an unusuall y large number of individuals who do interdisciplinary work. Among them are a sizable group who hold graduate degrees iq other field s. There is a richness here, and th is is a justifiable source of envy by other law schools, including some of the most prominent in the country." Fllvaroff IS also pleased with the diversity and commitment of students. "I am pleased that so many come here with the purpose of engaging in public interest law and public service, including government. We seek to not only teach students how to do law, but to teach them about the law. That is, the extent to wliicb legal form and substance represent political and value choices." This, says Filvaroff, is what is called "the Buffalo Model," the law school's undergirding of its curriculum with a strong philosophical base. "We are .recognized for our continuing reevaluation of the curriculum and our rethinking of legal education." Such a broader understanding of the law, Filvaroff says, "will make our graduates better practitioners no matter what field of law they choose to go into. Sometimes it is sussested that focusing on broader aspects is irrelevant or not practical. ~ But this is not the case. It helps make an effective lawyer. Whether our students go on to represent commercial interests, or the government or the disadvantaged , the y must be able to understand , anticipate, and help shape the changes occurring in the legal system." also finds U B advanced in its creation of non-litigating clinics.

Along with the overwhelming sense of inadequacy that characterizes individuals, Ginsberg added, is a general distrust and an isolation of individuals from each other and from society. The first step in overcoming this condition is recognition of it, he said, rather than blindly assuming "that God's in His heaven, all is well, a'!d democracy is as it was when we were m grammar school." hat 's where poetry came in.

"'But they were there because their !rids were into coke or were smashing up cars or commiuing suicide.

Rumors circulated that Silverman had been obliged to request safety pins for the notable shoulder pads of her dress. " It's authentic 1940s. They didn't have velcro, ~ she explained.

Kaja Silverman, noted fLim theorist and semiotician, tbinlcs not. Silverman came to UB last week to present two lectures. In the first she took a psychoanalytic look at Hollywood moVIes of the late 1940s, focusing on William Wyler's post-World War II classic, "Best Years of Our Lives." In the other she gave a bold analysis of the Statue of Liberty. Miss Liberty's missing female anatomy was a deliberate choice on the part of the French sculptor Fn!dc!ricAuguste Bartboldi, said Silverman . The anist departed from his original conception of t.he statue, as well as from traditional French depictions of Liberty which showed her bare-bosomed and passionate, to create a kind of colossus without sexual parts. Both of Silverman's lectures focused on the search for an American identity, sex roles, and missing body parts. "Best Years of Our Lives~ provided her with fuel for an analysis of America after World War 11. Here we find a character who returns from the war without arms, played by an actor who bad himself lost his arms in the war. He interacts with a crowd of characters who, for various reasons, have sulTered a kind of loss of self. "Best Years of Our Lives," Silverman observed, does not, like Miss Liberty, try to present a view of America triumphant, but a post-war America plagued by missing limbs, flimsy marriages, and unemployment. Taken separately or together, Silverman's lectures added up to some surprising insights into American culture. iven tbe semiotic treatment, Liberty took on a whole new meaning . (or meanings). In a lecture, entitled "Liberty, Maternity, and Commodification," Silverman' examined the relationship of the American public to Lady Liberty, taking tbe opportunity to pose the 9uestion, is the Lady a tramp? Given her sexless quality, prostitution and our Miss Liberty hardly seem to go in band. It is argued that Baitboldi either used a whore or his mother as a model for the statue, said G x ~ "' ~ ~ ~ t Silverman, but this anecdote is only a minor part of the history of Lady Liberty as a commodity for exchange. Besides, Americans were never aware of the French debate over the statue's passion or lack of iL In France, where representations of Liberty had a long history, whether or not Liberty would have bared breasts meant a great deal. What did the Americans think of it? .. , would go so far as to s uggest that Bartholdi's statue failed at first to signify much of anything to the American public," Silverman said. This presented a problem to the statue's sponsors, she noted. If Americans were expected to cough up the money to erect the statue, someone would have to make them care about her. Enter Joseph Pulitzer of newspaper fame, and thus begins the "commodification" of Liberty. Silvermlll) was quick to point out that the statue's very history is one of casb exchanges, .. commodification," and one might infer, a kind of symbolic prostitution. In just five months, Pulitzer managed to inspire the American public, raise the money necessary to erect the statue, and dramaticaiJy increase sales of his newspaper, the World, to boot, said Silverman. Whether or not the statue's "original~ was for sale, Liberty herself has Kaja Silverman always been an expensive companion. Unlike other gifts this one was mixed up in what Silverman termed "an onerous fmancial obligation.~ She cost the American public $400,000 to install. S ilverman noted that Pulitzer printed the names of •contributors in his paper along with letters from these immigrants, children, widows, and pensioners - letters that may have been fakes, designed to get publicity. "The American public,~ she argued, . "was sold the image of the United States in which 'they dreamed of seeing themselves,~ an America that speaks to the common people, and which welcomes "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." We have continued to pay for that dream ever since, observed Silverman, "underwriting in the process countless subsidiary products and political schemes, from World War I bonds to Sure deodorant (which used Liberty to promote their product) .~ The statue represents such a valuable commodity, s&Jd Silverman, precisely because she provides the image through which America recognizes itself as a society. "It is thus our national identity which is being traded upon," she concluded. Known as a collector of antique cloth- tures, "Make Believe: Hollywood , World War II, and Male Subjectivity.~ As in her discussion of the Statue of Liberty, here Silverman was also concerned with America's self-image. Rather than the idealized Liberty which serves to reinforce the American ideal here Silverman discussed the Americ;u; ideal in trouble. An abundance of Hollywood films in the late '40s, Sltverman said, featured what she described, in psychoanalytic terms, as "castrated male subjectivity.~ Films like "Spellbound ," "Gilda,~ and "It's a Wonderful Life~ feature men who, unlike the typical Hollywood hero, are weak, unstable, or incapable. Silverman wondered how it could happen that Hollywood would produce so many films of this type, and so suddenly. Hollywood bas always been an important supplier of the paternal images through which we all learn the pro{'CT roles in our culture, she noted. Silverman argued that the motivation for the cultural turn away from this pattern was the trauma of war. These filin.s mark the divide l:etween pre- and post-war Americ&, she said. "We all invest in the dominant fiction of our cuJture," she said - an investment which, as sbe observed in her other lecture, inspired Americans to donate money for Lady Liberty's recent centennial. This fiction of America would include the notion of total egalitarianism - an idea that Silverman noted was hedged by the keynote speaker at the Statue of Liberty's centennial celebration. We don't really want the wretched refuse of anyone's teeming shore do we? Other parts of the mytb of America would include the rules of the patriarchy complete with \ he infallibility of men and the sanctity of our family institutions. Such fantasies, Silverman noted , are never quite true. And history, she said , is the mechanism able to expose that fact. Silverman is the author of The Subjtcl of Semiorics and the recently published The Acousric Mirror. Her next book, Mak Subjtcriviry at the Mar~ns. isforthcomin~ 0 - Montague to read here as UB adds archive of his work By PATRICIA DONOVAN ohn Montague, one of the most distinguished Irish poets of his generation, will read from h.is work on March 30, at 8 p.m. m tbe Poetry/ Rare Book Room, 420 Capen. . Tbe reading is in conjunciion with Montague's residency with the UB Poetry Collection, March 22-April 6, and the acquisition of a John Montague archive by the collection. Montague, a native of Brooklyn, '":as raised in Ireland and carne to matunty as a poet in the period that followed the grand lyric expression and mytbologi~ intensity of William Butler Yeats. With Richard M'!!J'hy, Seamus Heaney, and Thomas Kinsella, Montague forQled a aroup of poets wbo bad experienced the economic depression of the 1930& and the trauma of Worid War II. deB!oJied their ~ture poetic J voices in the 1950s. During the past 20 years, Montague has written, ed1ted, or translated more th·an 24 books of Irish poetry. He has distinguished himself as a modem Irish poet who deals with painfully rediscovered Irish traditions including the Celtic myth (A Slow Dance, 1975); the conflict between the m(/dern literary voice and th~ obligations of ancient tradition (Forms of Exile, 1958; Rough Fttld, 1972); and the failure of love relationships as an analogue to the failed relationshlp between inflamed religious factions in the North and South of Ireland (The Grear CIOQ/c, 1978). In his latest major work, The Dead Kingdom (1984), Montague works out a correspondence between the greaf black bog of Ireland, the country's rugged and beautiful landscapes, his stron11 feelings of love, and his fearful inheritance his Irish past. In a series of rich lyric ~. be a~ as a con- ·or temporary prophet of the Irish condition. T anhe Poetry Collection has acquired archive of MontagUe's work that consists of notebooks containing drafts and early versions of poems and stories, and corrected typescripts of all of his ~ublished work, except for Fprms o Exik. In ad ilion, the archive conta.lns origina! illustrations by Barrie Cooke for Montague's book All UgouJ.ary Obstacles; proof copies; correspondence with editon and publishers for each of Mootague's books; journals; diaries; and letters to Montague. According to ~obert Bertholf, curator of the Poetry/ Rare Books Collection, the archive ~provides a record in letters of Montague's relationships to British, American and Freoch poets. . . . (It is) a record of the development of a generation of poets who matured between the wars." Montague is a graduate of Univenity College, Dublin, where he received a B.A. (1949) and an M.A. (1952). He was a Fulbright Scholar at Yale University and earned a master's of fine arts degree from the Poetry Workshop at the 't.Jniversity of Iowa in 1955. He has taught at the University of California, Berkeley; University College, Dublin; the Experimental University of Vincennes and is currently on the faculty of University College, Cork. The Poetry Collccton owns what is considered the finest manuscrip collection of James Joyce materials in the world as well as books by "all the principallrisb writers, including Yeats: Tbe· Mon~e archive extends the Irish manuscnpt collection into con· temporary literature and, according to Bertholf, "brings literary and cultural docUments into tbe Poetry Collection that permit a penetrating view into the heart and soul of one writer who personifies the turmoil and terrible beauty of the country of Ireland." · 0 �rffUHP/J/ rf~~ ~~ b Melissa Banta & Gscar Silverman ed1t a p By ylvia Beach made no bones about it. "I worshipped James Joyce," she proclaimed , and while it is clear that Joyce, like most gods, did not return her love, a new book of his correspondence underscores the reliance of o ne of the century's preeminent writers on the woman who launched, sustained, and protected h1s career for more than a decade. James Joyce's Letters to Sylvia &ach, 192/-1940, edited by Melissa Sylvill Beach andJamn Joyuat Shahspeare and Comp411y, 1922. Behind Joyce an twopostus from London annoiUicinf the WritMip of Ulysses in Sporting Times ll1td Arnold Bornett's article in Outlook. Banta and Oscar A. Silverman (Indiana University Press, December 1987) is a selection of the author's letters, excerpted from the outstanding Joyce Collection at UB. It is called by Banta a "sparse, unbeautiful message .. . between two people whose understanding was implicit and perhaps privote as well." Howev~r banal the subject matter of his notes to her, however terse and decidedly unpoetic the language, the material included clarifies the ·remarkable relationship between Beach and her "Melancholy Jesus." It contributes to the assertion that without her, his major worl< would not exist as we know it and puts to rest , along the way, a few controversies regarding the affiliation between novelist and publisher. The two met in 1920, at the home pf French poet Andre Spire. The next day, Beach spied Joyce "drooping in a corner" of her bookstore, Shakes~are and Company, in Paris' Rue de I'Odeon. "Is this the great James Joyce?" she asked. "James Joyce," he replied. An inauspicious beginning, but within a few months, tbe young bookseUer, with absolutely no publishing experience, · offered to publish Ulyssu, Joyce's satirically brilliant epic, in spite of an intemaliooal furor over obscenity issues. • Their correspoodeoce begins in 1921 with a note on Jo.)oe's caDing card in which be blames the current flare-up of his chronic eye disease on the Greek soroereu, Circe, whom be sugests is punishing bim for havin& wriucn Mber" section .of UlyueJ. It ends in 1940 when the German occupation of faris precipitated Joyce's flight to Zurich, where be died in 1941. In keeping with Joyce's d.e sire to maintain a public image as a degage genius, Beach served for 12 years as his public persona, working fiercely to peddle his controversial masterpiece, while Joyce plotted each move from backstage. Says her biographer, Noel Riley Fitch, "They were the most successful clandestine promotional team in the history of high art." material ·b f James yu 's Leuers, which among other things verifies be extent of this team work, was meticulously preserved by Beach for more than 30 years. It includes scores of !etten; related specificaUy to the publication ofUlysses and, according to Robert Bertholf, curator of tbe UB Poetry1Rare Book CoUection, Mis particularly valuable in substantiating the mclhod by which J oyoe wrote and edited Finnegan's Wah, "considered his most arcane work. For this reason, Bertholf says that its publication will be of special interest to Joyce scholars. He notes as well that the correspondence verifies the extent to which Beach was responsible for the production of Ulysses in its final form. " His continual and extensive corrections and additions to the typeset proofs increased the book's length by mor< than one-third," Bertholf says. "If it wasn' for Beach's constant intervention on his behalf with the , printer, her willingness to incur debt and sustain considerable pressure in order to comply with his editorial demands, we would not have the Ulysses we know. " Joyce 's propensity for Jl.rofoundly alterine typeproofs (be added 10,000 words tn his ofteo indecipherable handwriting) was nearly the bane of Beach-the-publisher. In transcribing .his letters, Banta says she confronted the same stoney silence from printers when The UB·-Sylvia ' he relationship between the materials coUected in James Joyu's Leiters to Sylvill &ach, 1921-1940, edited by Melissa Banta aod Oscas A. Silverman (Indiana Univcnity Press, 1987 , and UB began nearly 40 yean ago and was can:fully nwtured by the University, the edt1,0rs, and literary patrons in the Western New York community. _ . _. . Melissa Banta, Ph.D., bas been the assJSt&nt curator of the 1----,.---!- University's Poetry/ Rare Boo!< Collection aod for a number of years served as assistant to the director of the Univenity Libraries. . . The late Dr. Silvermin was chairmaa of the English Department at the Umve r>IIY of Buffalo, 1956-1963 and, foUowing tbe University's IJlelliCr with the State . University system, served as director of libraries, 1960-1968. It bu beeD noted that m the period before UB became a state univenity, Silverman wu one of the main reasons for its national reputation. . It was largely throuah Silverman's efforts that the University obWoed its ~oyce , ·holdings. In 19SO, be negotiat.ed the pwdlue of a luBe collection of JIOIII:UlODS leot ..--behind b)' Joyce wbeo bc.fled Paris that bad beeD assembled by Joyce'l: friends, Paul Leon aDd ~ Jo&a It included the writer'i penonal library of 461 bQob, u well • periodicals. magazines, aDd P8IIIPblets: his eyea~assea all( ~ stick; pboCol of friends ana family aDd famify pcirtraib (noW tfll()layed in tbe U~y'l Poea!/llare ~k Room) t6at be bad carried with bim from Dublin to Trieste lQ Zurii:b to Paris.

As it is, an ~authoritative" edition of the book that corrected more than 6,000 errors involving punctuation, mistranscription. and omission wal no\ produced until June, 1984. The correspondence in the BantaSilverman book addresses some of the corrections as well as some outrageous requests by Joyce for intervention on his behalf with publishers, editors, printers, and friends. The book is unique in that the vast majority of the 200 letters, telegrams, and postcaids included'bere have not been previously published. The correspondence in the UB 'coUection bas been available only • to Richard Ellmann, Joyce's ,. biographer, and to 11 verj few scholl!h since lbe book was begun in 1972Accordine to Irish critic Danis Rose, the volume IS ~a superb piece of work. It contains page after page of new primary information; even the footnotes are most useful. This ·is undoubtedly the best way to P¥blish Joyce's letters." The correspondence is arranged in five sections by date and eac~ section is preceded by a lucid introduction explaining the context in wllich the letters were composed. Sections are followed by extensive notl!s that explain obscure references and differences in readings of specific words and passages by variou,s scholars. Included bere are a foreword-by Ioyce scholar A. Walton Litz and 21 photos culled largely from the UB collection. ~new" volume also provides ferences to many ditional as of Joyce's ork from l~o 1932, the year be ended his publishing affiliation with Beach, and illuminates the ~each Connecfion - purchase of her personal collection of Joycean correspondence and memorabilia. The collection was presented to the University by Walter F. and Constance Stafford, after many visits to Beach in Paris to discuss its acquisition. ~she was really quite the character," the late Walter Stafford said. ~nee you got to lmow her, she was a delightful person." During their many visits to Beach. the Staffords were shown a wide variety of rare memorabilia, including a,nude photo of Hemingway in his standard sportsman's pose, holding a large fiSh alofL Beach was concerned at the time about the piracy of some of Joyce's unpublished manuscripts and wanted lbe material in lbe best hands. Having gained both her 1 trust and affection, lbe Staffords were able to negotiate lbe sale of the Beach collection to UB for $55,510, less than Md been o!Te~ by both Harvard and the n University of Texas. · The trustl:slablisbed between Beacb -and lbe Ulli\lersity was so strong that sbe came to UB in 1959 to recei\le an JIODOruy doctorate and ~tanned to edit lbe com:spoodeocc publilhecl iD ./Jmtn Joyat's tm.n. . .with il\leml&D, a . collaboratioll prweatecl by bcr •·•~ death in 1962. , Followiai lllr Matb, the rcsidllll laoldiDp were made available to the. uru-.ny 8Jid aoquirecl u a f'rOID the Sl8ffocds, Mn.

My God, she did everything for him . .. eave him money for food, found bo..,.ng for the Joyce family, published,this work, introduced him to mfluential friends .. . .She even got him theatre tickets. No request was too smaU or too large for him to make, or for ber to fulfill. ~At the same time," notes Bertholf, "there is very little indication that Joyce fully appreciated the sacrifices she made on his behalf. He treated her the way be treated other women, including his wife, which was not very well." In an unmailed letter included here and dated April 12, 1927, Beach, seriously in debt and fending off creditors, writes: ""' afraj{i I and my /itt/~ shop will not M obi~ to stand tk struggl~ to kNp you and your fd171ily going from now until JUM, and to fUUina ' th~ trip of Mrs. Joyce arufyourself to London 'with mon~)' jingling in your pocket.

UB choir will take its gift of music on tour.in Europe Har1iet Simons leads the Europebound choir in rehearsal. They'll be leaving on May 23 for a two-week tour. By JIM McMULLEN B's nationally renowned choir will take its gift of music. t~ Europe this spring. On May 23, the choir will set off on a two-week tour of England, Scotland, and Wales. The group will perform in cathedrals, abbeys, museums, and small concert halls. Stops include the Canterbury Cathedral. St. Gile 's Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland, and halls in London , Liverpool, and York, said Harriet Simons, director of choruses at UB. The concerts will blend 20th century American pieces by Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson with standard choral pieces by Brahms and Gibbons. Audiences will be treated to "a standard mix choral program ," which includes American pop tunes as well as sacred music, she said. U his, the choir's fiJSt trip abroad, bas been a long time conung. TAfter a "wonderful showing" at the State Music Convention in the fall- of 1986, choir president Diana tJerman and others" approached Simons with the idea of a tour. They convinced her a tour was a good idea, but were surprised when she mentioned Europe, Herman said. The group hasn' toured before, and the members hadn' even thought about a tour abroad. "It was . a long shot at the time, but now we're ready to pack our bags," Herman said. Simons sees the tour as a means to gain recognition for the group as well as build morale. She also wanted to "do sometbinl! difTereni" after 15 years at tbe University. "It's a chance for the choir to sing for people who haven' beard us," Simons said. It's also a chance for choir members, some of whom bave never been on a plane, to do some sightseeing. he group's major concerts will be in smaller towns where the auditoriums will be pack~ rather tlian in big cathedrals where tlie audience wil likely be only a few tourists. "We'd much rather sing in a small bul packed auditorium," · Simons said. It will be a thrill to slog in the cathed- T rals, but the group geedn' go fai for the kind of acoustical quality those facilities provide. The acoustics in Slee Hall are such that the choir does most of its concerts there. Herman adds camaraderie to the list of pluses the trip has generated. "We're no longer just a choir. Now we're a group striving toward one goal. That makes this year very different from every other year for the choir," she said. To foster that spirit, the group went on a weekend retreat back in the fall. "We needed something like that to make the group more like a family. It puUed together the best everyone could offer," and that spirit has grown through the year, Herman said. It had to if the group was going to be able to f10ance the trip: Although costs are ~ kept to a minimum by stays witb '{amilies and in low~ bedand-brealcfast inns, each member of the 32-voice choir has to come up with $1,400. To raise thai kind of money, memben have been fund-r~ing since last spring. "We're two-thirds of the way there now," Simons said. "I had some doubts (about financ:es) before, but now I know we're going to pull it off. . "Some students jusl wrote checks for lhe full amount so they wouldn' have to fund-raise," she said. Most , though, are less well-off. Those folks have sold baked goods. pizzas, donuts, M&M's, and raffie tickets, among other things, to finance the trip, Herman said . tber funding has come from donaiions from appearances at Buffalo Sabres and Bisons games and donations from faculty, staff, and community businesses, Herman said. In addition, the 100-voice University Chorus bas offered the choir all the proceeds froni the patron pages of the groups' shared wmter ·and spring concert programs: "The chorus bas been extremely supportive," Herman said. That group also gave the choir the proceeds from an 0 offering taken at its December performance of Handel's "Messillb." Proceeds from the Music Graduate Student Association 's "Evening of Swing" dinner~ance on ApJ;il-1 5 wiU also help. The annual fund-raiser, held at Samuel's Grand Manor in WiUiamsville, will feature the UB Jaz.z. Ensemble. The European trip comes just after the choir's performance at the Eastern Division Convention of the American Choral DirectoJS Association in Philadelphia. One of only four New York State ensembles invited lo perform at the convention, the choir had a superb showing and made a name for UB in the eastern part of the country, Simons said. "We're hoping for the same kind of impact .in Europe," she said. Friendship Ambassadors Foundation, a national· non-profil cultural exchange organization, iJo arranging the ttip. FriendshiJ?

"It may not be a ·good thing, but it's necessary." The curriculum is designed to answer complaints that students don' have the necessary background in history , explained Heller, who will teach one of the courses. The one-year courses will start in the fall . Information on the world civilization curriculum was presented to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee by Heller and Richard E. Ellis, who was acting chairman of the Undergrad- T Is it really new? When tt couple of faculty recalled taking world history in college, Ellis surmised it was probably only western history with no Indian or Chinese content. uate College's world civilization course subcommince. The common cort of the . interdisciplinary curriculum will be the textbook, 1' History of the Human Community, written by William H. McNeill, a distinguished historian, said Ellis. The text will probably be put on reserve in the library so that faculty members can examine it. The book isn' written with as much sprightliness as he would like, Ellis said, but it is thougbtful and knowledgeable and doesn't inundate the reader with trivia. It will give the students a good, general overview. The text will be the basis for about 25 per cent of the course and there will presented to a number of committees. But Hochfield replied that what's needed is for the Undergraduate College to invite the faculty to an open meeting and present its plans. "lf this isn' thought of by the whole University as a University undertaking, it wiU fail ," he warned. "We could still have fac ulty-wide discussions," Heller said. .. It's not too late." be a common short-answer exam . Beyond that, each instructor is free to develop themes, such as on the history of ideas. It's important to give faculty members this freedom because senior faculty arc used to incredible autonomy in the classroom, Ellis said. Trying to create a centrally planned course would result in "a mushy compromise at best" and the loss of the senior faculty. The instructors will prepare essay exams dealing with the themes they are developing. Also, a number of short papers will be assigned . No student will be allowed to take the course pass/ fail. matters aired by the execuI •n other UB will participate in a national tive comm1ttee: survey conducted by the federal Department of Education on the quality of life of college faculty. In addition, UB is planning a survey of faculty T he idea of teaching world history is rather new, Ellis said . When a couple of faculty members protested that they had taken world history in college, Ellis pointed out that the courses didn't dwell much on India or China and probably were more like western civi lization courses. John Boot, chairman of ttie Faculty Senate, argued that all of world history geared specifically to this University, said Jeffrey Dutton, director of Institutional Studies. Victor Doyno of English and Lester Milbrath of the Research Program in Environment and Society had conducted such a study a few years ago. • One faculty member expressed concern over a rumor that $30,000 of Graduate and Research Initiative money had been spent on the refurbishing of the reception area for the president's office. A spokesman for the president said that no GRI money was used. The money in general came out of the State budget, with exceptions such as a painting that is on loan, she said. No figure on the refurbishing was available. 0 is much too expansive for one course. A better approach, he said , is that of Thomas C. Barry of Classics. In his course, Barry win focus on two areas: the Protestant reformation of the 16th century and Greece in the fifth century B.C., and compare the two areas to similar experiences in other cultures. Heller said that he leans toward the comprehensive survey, though it may turn out that Boot is right and surveying five or six fields is betttT. ;1 This is a pilot program. The feeling ~ in the Undergraduate College is that _ world civilization should become a ~ required course eventually, Ellis said. o Some courses will be team-taught; ~ other courses will be taught by one professor the ftrst semester and his Philip Klass listening to his audience. partner the second, and still other courses will be taught by a single promanded. tions by space creatures. fessor, he said.

"Aside from the problems of the Japanese piracies, difficulties with (the German publisher) Rhein-Verlag, and endless queries about publication offers," writes Banta, "there were 'seances' and banquets to arrange, bills from Establet for Joyce's favorite Chateau-Neuf-<lu-Pape to attend to, and details for Harold Nicolson's onagain-<Jff-again radio broadcast to record." Beach apparently complied . with each request efficiently, for little post-behest grumbling is heard from Joyce. bile agreeing that Joyce id not return Beach's consideration in !rind, Banta ys that her intention and that of the late Dr. Silverman, was to produce an edition of the correspondence that offers no judgment regarding the, relationship between J OJII:C and Beach. "We decided at the outset to let the boo.!~ take its own form and make its · own statement," she says. "Silverman was a judicious and intelligent man who would never have allowed his personal opinion of Joyce's 'treatment' of anyone to color what is essentially a scholarly work. " I think that the book as edited provides a new vantage point from which to view a number of issues that have been addressed in print by Richard Ellmann, Noel Fitch, and Beach herself. Nothing is understood completely when viewed from only one angle,". she says, "and while the book clarifies a number of issues by providing new factual material, it was never intended to offer a definitive assesssment of their relationship." Having said that, Banta offers her personal perspective on some of the tssues alluded to in the letlers: "I doubt that Sylvia Beach fully realized what she was getting into when she offered to publish Ulyssa. There were tremendous difficultits, toga.! and personal, not the least of which were the consequence of Joyce's extreme self-centeredness." · According to Banta, "it would be wrong to paint beT simply as a victim, however....She was certainly not obse<Juious. Beach was a very . intelligent, enormously courageous, and strong woman who lived a full and • fascinating life among some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. "It's clear that her attitude toward Joyce changed over the years," says Banta, "and the letters document the differences that began to color their relationship at the time of Harriet Weaver's publication of the first English edition of Ulyssu. I think, though, that onee she realized what she was involved in, she chose to continue despite the problems she encountered. ' She was offered an opportunity to play a gre~t role and she played it magmficently. "It's important to remember that Joyce had !10 easy time of it, either," Banta contmues, "and aiJilough be is clearly very exacting of Beach's time and attention, and seldom returns it, it's also evident that he suffered greatly as a result of many life problems. His eye condition, for instance tortured him all his life. He often spoke of his near bhn~ness, frequent surgeries, consultations with specialists all over Europe. .. even of having leeches applied to his eyes. "He w.orri«! constantly about his daughter•. Luaa, who was seriously mentally ill. It was a terrible u-.gedy for them. . .aod be confronted incredible difficulties in having his work transcribed correctly. There were the_ o~f!!ty trials, the confiJC8tion of enure edtllons of Ulysses, and then the book was pirated, which, of course, outraged him. He was sometimes very bitter and, of course, the Joyces never really had enough money. ·The consternation and anxiety that caused is evident in his correspondence." n the face of all of this, Banta emphasizes that Joyce, like Beach, had enormous determination and courage . .stR! says, "He was sometimes only sustained by a firm belief in his own genius. HowevtT demanding he was of his friendship with Sylvia Beach, she shared that belief aod it sustained ber as weU." · In assiduously avoiding editorial comment regarding the motives and attitudes of the correspondents, the editors of James Joyce's Leuers to Sylvia &tlch. 1911-19-10, have produced a scholarly analysis that illuminates, but refuses to interpret, a cryptic epistolary map. The letters speak for themse ves of the Joyce literary arcanum, transoceanic publishinll battles, apartmentletting, and above all, of Joyce's confidence in Beach, not only as his publisher aod public defender, but as the 6mnipraent friend to whom he obsessively communicated reports of his existence for more than a decade . 0 �~Ifl11 UBriefs . ,.. . -. . . . --.oe-..... - .............. ----Til<-----. ---··--. . . ----... __ ....... ..,......, _ _ p _ _ TIIe-': .... ........................ .............

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

While driving home from work, your car skids on a patch of ice and crashes into a pole. Your head smashes into the windshield . You awake. Three months have passed. You've been in a coma. As a result of the violent impact, your brain has swelled, causing severe damage to the frontal lobe. You can no longer think quite right. You can' remember what street you live on or who th ose people arc who keep visiting yo u. Planning events and activities is no longer possi ble. I T hese are among the typical problems faced by persons with Traumatic Brain Injury (T BI), said Barry Willer, UB professor of psychiatry. Because of these and other losses. persons with TBI face a nUIJ!ber of difficulties in re-integrating into the community, their families, and their jobs. said Willer. Willer and John Noble, professor of social work and rehabilitative medicine, are directors of the newly announced National Rehabilitation Research Center (RRTC) at UB. The center will provide training and research to help persons with TBI. These are typically young males who have suffered serious head injury from auto accidents. Others are victims of falls and assaults. Some often Jack the ability to control their impulses. "You or I might be sitting at a meet· ing, bored, and have thoughts about doing something odd," Willer illustrated. "We have the ability to think about it first and refrain frqp1 acting.' The "person with TBI often docs it first, then thinks about it." Such behavior is often considered an emotional problem, he said, when it really isn \. The person understands that the behavior tS wrong, but lacks the ability to control it. Many with TBI are no longer able to make good decisions . Nor are they able to return to a job that requires a lot of me_mory use. That doesn't leave them many options. 0 ptions for these formerl y inde· pendent persons include psychiatric or nursing facilities . These are ··restrictive facilities, .. said Willer. However. the majority of those with TBI go directly home. There. disabled and dependent. they are a financial and emoti o nal burden on their famlilies. They also require constant supervision .' .. Not much is a"ailable in term s of monetary support other than minimal su bsis ten ce fund in g."' Willer added . That does little to offset the enorm o us cost of mo nths of hospital care and permanent in·home care. Some o f th ose with TBI have been helped by se rvices fo r th e mentall y ill or the developmentally disabled. he said. But these services are inappropriate for their condition . Another national center at UB ~ national to collllhd ,racarcb and ~ training pi'OifUIIS iaucs Jdaled to the ~ of penons with tranmalic: brain iJVary {TBI) baa beea ~ "bcR wtder a S3 million fiveyear cooperame ftmdiDc ~ with tbe U.S. Department of Education. • Tile A 011 Wh y is care for TBI patients so inadequate? For one thing, said Willer, the problem is relatively new. Not long ago. most of them would have died from their injuries. For that reason. there are no accurate statistics on the number or condition of those with TBI. Of those with TBI. not all are seve rely impaired. But even those discharged with mild TBI may have residual im pairments in speech. language, social and motor skills, memory. and judgment, said Willer. Medical advances have made it possible for these individuals to survive. but the new technologies have not yet dealt with the quality of their lives. Those with TBI need a new approach to their care and treatment, Willer said . Through training, they may acquire the skills needed to become productive family and community members. The National Head Injured Foundation, the cw York State and Ontario Head Injured Associations and other advocacy groups will provide that care nd training. The R R TC will provide training and technical assistance to the advocacy groups ""3?1d other service organizations dealing with TBI persons, Willer said. The R R TC will be one of only five centers for TBI research nationally. Of that number, it will be the only one dealing with community aspects of the problem. The others deal strictly with in-patient care. For Willer and Noble. the goal is to , establish UB as a national leader in research on training people wi th disabilities. The University will provid"e the computer equipment for the research and funding for a visiting professor internationally acclaimed in neuropsychology. Thert is a shortage in that field, said Willer, because training hasn' kept up with the current demand . Another goal is to see U B provide that kind of training. D �March 17, 1988 Volume 19, No. 21 You think it was flu? You're probably right By ANTHONY CHASE Y Principals at press conference: (seated, 1-r) Wilier, Bums, Noble, Switzer, Rempel (at mike), Provost Greiner, Naughton, Seidl. Standing near. banner: President Sample. BRAIN INJURY--.:. ._ _ _. . Co-di rector Noble said it is estimated by the National Head Injury Foundation that from 177 to 295 persons per 100,000 population annually s uffer from TBI. Of th is number, approximately 4.3 per cent are left with residual deficits which make community reentry after hospitalization difficult. " Funding of the RRTC," he noted, "is a response to the 1986 amendments to the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which recognized that many disabled persons could not be gainfully employed without benefit of intensive, ongoing suppon services." These amendments, he sai~ funher recognized there were various supportive employment opti ons which could help a substantial number of persons with severe disabilities. These persons had not previously been considered eligible for tr aditional time-limited vocatio nal services that could help them gain employment. ...This project on community integralion of persons with TBI is critical for several reasons," said Fredrick Seidl. Ph.D., dean of the School of Social Work . He emphasized that the scope of the national problem concerning TBl continues to increase at a breathtaking pace . About half the persons affected are between a(leS 15 and 24 . .. Because thas is a relatively new problem, very little appropriate service i~ provided ; there are great gaps in needed services confounding the problems faced by these people and their families." Seidl said the project, which involves many people, agencies, and services in the U.S. and Canada, represents a major effon to bring science, reason, and scholarship to bear on the problem of TBI. .. We are excited to have the center here because we know in the hands of this fine grouP. of faculty, results will emerge that Will help guide government and private sector policy decisions for years to come," Seidl said. J ohn Naughton, M.D ., dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said his school is very pleased with the successful outcome of Noble's and Willer's effons. Over the past 12 years, Naughton noted, U B bas recruited an outstanding faculty in rehabilitation mediCine whose 1effons toward developing an environment that could suppon and nunure such a program as the RRTC have obviously been fruitful. "This new program is the first multi• disciplinary program developed between the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the School of Social Work and complements the effons of the Western New York Health Science Consonium. The latter agency includes an acute head injury unit at Erie Country Medical Center and has supponed Our Lady of Victory Hospital's cenificate of need for a 26-bed chronic head injury treatment unit," be said. Naugbton said the program's emphasis-on community care and suppon ser- vices represents an innovative and timely approach to dealing with this imponant public health problem . Having the RRTC located in New York State is a milestone in providing better services for those with traumatic brain injury, said Richard Switzer, deputy commissioner of the New York State Education Depanment's Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. Switzer said a large number of persons w1th TBI have been ·injured in automobile accidents. Primar ily, he noted, these victims are young people who can be rehabilitated to re-<:nter their community as productive members of society. "The overall goal is for each person who has TBI to reach his or her potentia! in the community, .. Switzer added . He emphasized that the project is a cost effective one, for ... whatever we spenll toward rchabilitaling any person who is disabled , there is a great return." Pamela Burns, founder and executive director of the New York State Head Injury Association, said that community integration and community services for persons with head injuries and their families are the most needed components of the rehabilitative system . Burns, who is also vice president of state association affairs for the National Head Injury Foundation. said 85 per cent of those admitted to hospitals w1th diagnosis of head injury are da~charged to home and community wathout specific head injury resources to serve them. ou •ay you had a fever. chills. you ached all ove r, and you felt too weak to get out of bed?

In the Depanment of Enalish, too , secretaries reported that a han dful of faculty had been ou t sick. anJ "a lot of students ... "We've been seeing a lot of Ou-like symptoms." confirmed Sarah Bihr of University Hea lth Services. ··but so far the Health Department has not announced any kind of epide mic.·· till. people are calling it the Ou: there's even a rumor that it's called "Shanghai·· Ou . some th ing nobody will confirm.

"This year it ~a; a little late. It usually comes m February." This year's popular symptoms included some pretty high fevers , said McDonald . "Some people had fevers that peaked at about 104 degrees," she reponed . "But that usually lasted for less than a day. "Of course." she added , " we got them on T~.lenol to redu ce the fever right away. At the infirmary, patient s were also given an ~ntibiotie to safegua rd aga imt pneumoma. "We saw a couple of cases of pneumonia, but they walked in with u:· McDonald said . Some patients also suffered from sore throats and coughing. "For the most pan," said McDonald. "people only felt ill for three da iS ... In her experience that's not a long ti-me. McDonald recalled that the H;;ng Kong Ou of a few years ago left its victims Sick for five full davs. and that after that , many suffered relapses. This yea r's c?ld and nu seaso n was tame by companso n. Bes t of all. McD onald and Bihr agree that the worst is probably Oft~ 0 R ay Rempel. of St. Cat har i ne s Ontario , who is co-fou nd er and executive director of the Ontario Head Injury Association, said that "the Ontario Minister of Health indicates that every day, 44 Ontario residents are admitted to hospitals with sc:vere complications associated with TBI and sub~uently incur some type of permanent IDJUry. "Their lives will have been saved but a lifeti~e of ~justment will have· just begun, he pomted out. Rempel, who is also treasurer of the relatively young Head Injury Association of Canada said the info rmation and research gathered through the RRTC will mark one of t~t; first concrete steps in giving commumues across the U.S. and Canada t~he i~formation and opportunity to provtde tmproved programs and services for those with TBI once they return home. Co-direftor Willer also cited the fact that government interest in individual s with TBI has also been spurred by intensive effons of advocacy groups. Most notable of these is the National Head Injury Foundation and their affiliates, primarily composed of family, fnends and care providers for those withTBI. . "An important concept in dealing with disabled persons is to remember that they are ~opk first," Willer emphasized. This concept, be added, is ingrained in the underlying philosophy or the RRTC and all its associated projects. 0 Cuo·mo will speak at commencement G ov. Mario M .

The findings stem from a recent study that, according to otolaryngologist Sanford R . Hoffman, M.D .. 1s the first to demonstrate the health benefits that patients perceive they derive from this ty~ of surgery. Hoffman, who directed the stud y, is clinical associate professor of otolaryngolog_y and affiliated with the Buffalo Otological Group (BOG). "Studies like this one," says Hoffman, .. are becoming increasingly important in medicine as a means of assessing potential. he_a lth benefits in light of efforts to contam costs to pauents and third-pany payers." Study results also provide physiciai\S with information that helps them assess the potenlla l benefits to patients prior to surgery. he study, conducted by faculty in the Depanments of Ot9/aryngology and Social and Preventive Medicine, was based on retros~ctive repons from 114 patients treated surgically for sinus problems in 1984-5 by members of the BOG. . Hoffman said 88 ~r cent of the patients reported they had benefited from the surgery . . When asked to be T more specific, 90 per cent claimed it had alleviated breathing problems they had prior to surgery: 88 per cent noted that nasal congestion had improved. Eighty-five per cent also reported noticeable improvement in sinus-related head or face pain. Eighty-three per cent of the patients reported a decrease in sin us infections while 80 per cent said th·e surgery lessened pesky post-nasal drip. Only 12 per cent claimed to have noticed no benefits. Hoffman said high marks given the surgery by the majority of patients were clearly tied to improved diagnostic and surgical techniques. The researchers also found that repons concerning overall health benefits were influenced neither by whether patients had undergone previous sinus surgery nor by whether they had postoperative complications. enefits were fewer for those ~ho had additional disorders such as nasal trauma, asthma or allergic rhinitis, which suggests these candidates for the procedure might be advised to ex~ct less dramatic results. In addition, the more medications a patient received for sinus problems prior to su rgery, the less the ~rceived benefits after surgery. "Moderate to severe sinus disease occurs," Hoffman explains, "when the mucous membranes lining the hollo,w ~inus cavities in the face secrete fluids B which don't drain properly ... Improper drainage allows fluids to stagnat e. creating a breeding ground for infection or pressu re which can also lead to facial or head pain. "Anatomical deformitv is usuallv implicated in sinus problerits, alt ho ugh injuries to the area may be to blame:· Hoff man states. Various surgical procedures rilay be required to str ategically cut ··wind ows" "Eighty-five per cent of patients reported noticeable reduction in sinus-related h,ead or face pain. Ninety per cent said the surgery helped breathing problems. " in bone adjacent. to the affected sinus cavity to assist pro~r drainage. _ Sinus disease when combined with nasal disorders is the most common cause of meningitis, infection of the meninges or lining of the brain, a condit ion which can be life-threatening. Although people who have infrequent. mild bouts with minor sinus symptoms may get reli ef from over-thecounter medications. those who have recurrent problems sho uld consult a physician. Hoffman indicates. H offman notes that the 114 patients in the study were treated without use of sinus endoscopy. which was not in common use in the U.S. at the time the su rgeries were performed. Endoscopy. which utilizes a..,..metal tub e co ntaining fiber-optic rods that provide improved lighting and magnificatio n of the surgical area, allows even morf" Precise surgery to be performed with less damage to surrounding tissue. " We could therefore ex~ct that when the surgery is performed with use of endoscopy, patients' perceptions of health benefits would be even greater," Hoffman says. Even though there have 'been technological advances in diagnosis and treatment through CT scanning and endoscopy, physicians should continue to emphasize historical signs and clinical findings as primary considerations for the surgery, he believes. On the research ~eam in additon to Hoffman were Raffi Dersark.issian, a UB med ical student; Steven H. Buck, M.D. , and Gerald Stinziano, M.D., - · · clinical assistant professors of otolaryngology; and Germaine Buck, Ph.D., an epidemiologist in the De.Panment of Social and Preventive Med1cine. 0 �March 17, 1988 Volume 19, No. 21 Vie:wp~om~·~lts:.._____ _ __ Academic Freedom in the Third World: Singapore & Taiwan the United States.

ALTBACH cademic freedom is a many splendored, and often illdefined , thing. For the purposes of this essay, academic freedom means the freedom to do research and publication in the area of one's speciality and to speak and write publicl y on broader subjects that are related to one's scholarly expertise without fea r of job loss, legal problems, o r admiilis trativc harassment. This is a rather traditional definition that stems from the emergence of the research-based university in 19th century Germany and is somewhat less broad than th e currently held Anglo-American notions of academic freedom. Our co nce rn here is with academic freedom in th e Third World, a nd specifically with th e si tuation in the highly successful newly industrializing nations of Singapore A of creating a political and social culture out of a historical tradition of coiOniaJism, ethnic connict. and other divisions. These tensions often have a profound impact on the universitie . whi~~ are necessarily at the center of pohucal and social development. AcademiC .. institutions are expected to pan1c1pate in development by providing skilled personnel and research that will The Current Situation There are constraints on academ tc freedom in both countries. h ~~ u~l'ful to illustrate the situation and then 111 see k to distuss both causes and conseq uences.

But faculty member_., arc free to pursue their research as t he~ '-' l!ah and Taiwan. These observations are not based on analytic research but rather on observation a nd informal interviews with academics in those countries. It has often been said that universities cannot nourish with out academic freedom and that top-<juality research requires an atmosphere of academic freedom . This generalization seems to be only partly true. Soviet science, for ex.ample, has done well without traditionally defined academic freedom, although social science in the Soviet Union is generally recognized ro have suffered because of reSLrictions on freedom of inquiry and publication. Even in the Western industrial ized nations. academic freedom is not total. In the United States and West Germany. ideological views have occasionally entered into professorial appoin tments or decisions on tenure (permane nt appointment). In the United Kingdom, one of the traditional bulwarks in the protection of academic freedom, the tenure system, is soo n to be abolished for new a ppoint ments. The impact of this radical change in the nature of academic appoi ntments cannot yet be assessed. Several American states require loyalt y oaths for professors in the state unive rsities. West Gennany requires a loyalty statement for all c1vil servants including teachers and univers'ity faculty. Yet, in Western nations, norms of academic freedom are widely accepted and violated only rarely. Such violations are often publicly criticized and the academic institutions subjected to opprobrium. It is widely accepted by government authorities, the public and by the academic community that academic freedom is a cornerstorc of the university. The facult y expect that they will have the freedom to do research on topics of their choosing, to publish the results of their research without restriction, to speak out on issues relating to their expenise and , for that matter, on virtually all topics, without limitation. They expect that, after the award of tenure, they will have a virtual guarantee of lifetime employment in the university. In general, the higher the presttge of the university, the greater protection there is of academic freedom. . The situation in the developing nations of the Third World is considerably more complel<. It is necessary to provide some background befall' moving to a discussion of the situallon of Taiwan and Singapore. Virtually all of the world's univenities are patterned on Western. models. Thus, universities in Zimbabwe, Thailand, and Brazil resemble their countei-parts in.Britain, Germany, or was British. That of Taiwan was J apanese with a substantial recent influence of the United States. Manv se nior academics in both countries ~err trained. a broad, notably in Britam and the Umted States. And both countries have been marked by several decades of political stability, although both ~ om about the longtcrm political future · ~ ~g 2 ~ ~ ~ / .... / ;g ~ promotion are. pan of all academic systems. Third Wo rld uni versit ies are also tied to the industri alized nations by an international knowledge network that includes journals , publishers, reliance on English (or French or Russian) as languages of communication and other factors. In sum, universities function in an international environment that is dominated by Western norms, institutional structures, and values. Although Third World un iversities have Western roots, they are also part of their own societies. They are also new and often rapidl y expanding institutions. In short, they are faced wit\! great challenges tnd problems as they look to foreign models for their academic values and at domestic realities and pressures for 'everyday existence. The realities of Third World nations are often harsh. There is great pressure to expand higher education in order to meet the needs of societies that .require skilled personnel and to meet the aspirations of the rising middle classes. There is seldom sufficient money to permit both expansion and the maintenance of quality. Many Third World societies are in the process / ~ontribute to the economy and, just as 1mponant , to help with the development of a national culture and 1den~u_y. Frequently, govern ments are ~nwi.II~ n.g _ to let universities play a role m cn tlctzmg the established order because they perceive that the society is too we~~ to Wi thstand criticism. The auth !l ~t1es want universities to be mob1hzed !or national devei_Q{'ment. The trad1t1onal role of th ( un 1versity as an mdependent actor IS not recognized and _t~e re are often tensions between tradittonal academic vaJ ues and exter~al pressures on higher education. ~aawan and Singapore are not typical of the deve lo ping countries of th e Th~rd Wo rld . They have among the h1gh est rates of economic growth in the world and, after Japan, have the highest per capita wcomes in Asia. They have h1gh rates of literacy. They have recogmzed that higher education IS a key factor in their economiC progress and have devoted considerable fu~ds to h1gher education. These umversJtJes !'ave a strong commitment to researclr and publication. Both countnes emerged from colonialism and t~e1r universities were created coloma! powers. The Singapore model by In Taiwan, the National Sctcnct Cou ncil, through which most government money for research 1~ channeled , seems willing to fund research on a variety of topics and ba~es its decisi o ns on the merits of specific proposals. Some s_cientists are concerned th at the amounts of money avai lable for panicular projects are not sufficie nt for large-scale research. but most agree that there i~ relatively ~as~ access to research fundtng .

Current debate in Taiwan about a revision of the University Law has included J'fllllosals for creating a tenurt arrangement, but the outcome of such arguments may not yield success. Taiwan, in a sense, has the worst of both appointment systems. Its de fo cru tenure system permits virtually .. everyone with an academtc_poSitiOn to retain it until retirement w1thout a serious evaluation of perfonnance. At the same time, it does not pr~vi de any guarantee of continuing appmntment. thus· causing considerable war~ about their jobs among faculty wtth d1ssenung · views. In Singapore, there is a tenure system for most academics, although the majority of expatriate staff (who constitute about half of the faculty at the National Univenity of Singapore. the country's only university) are on renewable term appointments.

Some academics found the constraints sufficiently unpleasant that they took positions tn neighboring Malaysia or in other countries. Problems arise almost exclusively in the social sciences. In both Singapore and Taiwan, there are topics which are generally considered off-limits for academic ,research and writing. In Taiwan, issues relating to mainland China and to questions of independence for Taiwan (as distinct from the government's goal of reunification with the mainland) are very sensitive. Indeed , advocating Taiwan independence is a crime. There seems to be relatively little research concerning Taiwan history. while most efforts are directed at Chinese topics. R~arch on specific Taiwan-related soeiaJ issues must be handled carefully by scholars. Using Marxist or nco-Marxist methodological approaches (as distinct from advocating Marxism) is restricted . Marxist books are not generally available. Some Western scholars who use some Marxist paradigms are permitted, but it is fair to say that Taiwan scholars are quite careful about employing any son of Marxist ideas in their work. Books from mainland China are not generally available in Taiwan, and academic contacts are not permitted. The situation has significantly changed in the past year. There has been a marked liberalization in all aspects of Taiwan political and intellectual life. and this has bad an effect on the universities. The four-decade-long "state of emergency" was ended, thereby permitting wider freedom of expression. For the furst time, family contacts with the mainland are now officialiy sanctioned, although civil servants (including university professors) are not yet permitted to visit mainland China. Demonstrations are now commonplace events at the legislative Yuan (parliament). Social issues are now taken to the streets. Recently, for example, there were demonstrations highlighting the plight of Taiwan's 350,000 aborigines. No one was arrested. A year ago, it would have been unlikely that such an event would have taken place - and if it did, the police might have broken it up. With the death in January of President Chiang C)ling-kuo, the future of the Taiwan "glasnost" is somewhat unclear, although many Taiwan intellectuals feel that the pattern of liberalization will be difficult to break . The situation in Singapore is somewhat more complex_ There is no oven censorship of academics or their writings. Yet, it is widely understood that some topics are simply off-limits for research and commentary. Ethnic issues, for example, are off-limits. Singapore authorities are fearful of arousing ethnic rivalries, never far from the surface in multiethnic Southeast Asia, or of stimulating concern in neighboring countries. Scholars seldom tum their attention to one of the most imponant questions facint~the region. Even the most innocent dtscussion, for example of the cultural situation of the local Indian community, may be seen as inappropriate by the authorities. In such cases, acadelflic authors may be called in by their administrative superiors for a dressing~own. In general, academics must be careful in how they .treat sQ~:ial issues relating to Singapore. Iris possible to deal, for example," with the government's highly successful housing scheme in research but the interpretation of data must be done in a way that does not express public criticism of Singapore's social arrangements. Academics are warned that if they have something negative to say, they should do so privately in a memo to the appropriate authority rather than in public print or in a scholarly article. A year ago, for example, two expatriate academics in the School of Management published an article in a European journal making some critical comments on Singapore•s trade unions. When government authorities found out about the anicle, they strongly criticized the professors for misinterpreting facts, and the issue became a public controversy. A year later, neither of the offending arJ!.c:lemics was still teaching at the Unive+si . In both countries, self-<:ensorshtp is a more potent force than overt govern ment restriction. It is clear to the academic community that there arc certain issues, certain modes of inquiry, and certain interpretations that are off- • limits or likely to result in criticism or problems. Most academics are, as a result, extraordinarily careful not to deal with sensitive matters or to pub- "A few test the limits of official tolerance in order to press their research agenda, but most are fairly content to work wfthin the parameters of what's sanctioned. " !ish controversial results. It may well be that the academics are over-cautious in their avoidance of potential controversy. But they function in an atmosphere of subtle restrictions and subrosa pressure. In other words, there is official commitment to Western norms of academic freedom, but the reality for those in the social sciences is such that there is a constant concern over what those in authority, either within the universities or in government, will think. c.u... and Consequences In Third World nations, including Singapore and Taiwan, academics play a more significant role in public life than is common in the West. They frequently write in newspapers and appear on television. They help to shape public attitudes in significant ways. They also have very high social status and prestige in the society which in these two countries is heightened by the traditional Chinese respect for the scholar. Thus, the opinions of professors may have an impact on public opinion. It is ther;<:fore not so surprising that those in authority worry about what the academic community is saying and writing. Many Third World societies are still in the process of development - not only in terms of economic growth but also in terms of developing a stable polity which bas wide suppon among the population. Many Third World nattons are divided by religious, ethnic, -tribal, or other forces. Governments worry about creating a stable soci'!' order. They frequently see the academic community as an important contributor, for good or ill. to debates about culture and politics. And in the Third World, culture and religion are frequently as imponant as ideology and politics in shaping the nation. University campuses have frequently been centers of intellectual, and sometimes political, ferment. Student activism is an especially powenul force in the Third World (although neither Singapore nor Taiwan has seen major student demonstrations in recent years). It is sometimes forgotten that ' professorial activism is perhaps more powerful as an intellectual force. Professors seldom participate in demonstrations, but they influence both st udents and the wider public through their teach\ng and writing. In the Third World, the academic community is the "' primary intellectual force . There are few competitors, as there are in the West, for the attention of the public. Through their communications skills , their prestige, and their command of key social issues, the professoriate is perceived as quite imponant. Govern- · ments are very concerned with keeping the loyalty of the academic profession and with ensuring that dissent is not _ rampant in the universities. It is clear that there are limitations on academic freedom in the two countries considered here. These two nations. despite the problems, provide more latitude than many Third World countries for their academics. Restrictions, for example, are considerably more severe in China than in Singa- Free research?

Can lhe professoriate tion review c lauses that violale the SUNY function effectively with these restrictions? Is research affected in terms of quantity or quality? Definitive answers to these questions would be difficult to provide, but so me general observations are possible. In the sciences and in technolo~cal fields , one has the impression that academics are unaffected by, and even often unaware of, any limits on research or publication. Not only are these fields distanced from the '"sensitive"' areas of concern but they are favored by government in terms of research funding and staff. The situation in the social sciences is more difficult. Scholars are aware of restrictions , or lack of access to some materials in the library and the. like. A few test the limits of governmental tolerance in order to press their research agenda, but most are fairly content to work within the parameters of sanctioned research topics. Most are aware that their work will sometimes be scrutinized for reasons other than scholarly excellence. Many are careful about the tone of their analyses and are especially•cautious when writing for newspapers or popular magazines. A few find the situation intolerable and take jobs in other countries in order to be free of constraints on writing or teaching. There is an awareness th3t access to research funds will be difficult or perhaps impossible for scholars who ask unpopular ques-tions or pursue unpopular research topics. The universities function effectively, and research and teaching goes on. The atmosphere is not dramatically different from that in a Western university. Most academics seem committed to the profession, to their students, and to the development oflheir countries. Yet, there is a vague feeling of unease among these scholars who might wish to take a critical stance - and such scholars are often among the most creative and original minds. 0 standard of unrestricted o penness of research.

Rega rdless of whether the Defense Nuclear Agency ever actually classifies this research, the contract ,yields to the agency control over release of information about the research .

Academic freedom forbid s any interference with the rights of academic researchers to stud y whatever they want, to conduct their research according ro their o .,..'J'I stan· dards. and 10 ~ure assista nce and suppon for their research however they can. Therefore , some may argue that political dis· . agreement with the aims of the Strategic Defense Initiative cannot be a justifiable basis for opposition to any academic research. Yet. according to Samuel P. Ca~n. a past Ch ancellor of th(: University of Buffalo. academic free60m also means that academic researchers must be free to discuss their research with anyone they want. Professor Sarjeant's contract for research s upport by the Defense Nuclear Agency conflicts with this Iauer aspect of academic freedom.

The purpose of this essay is not only to give a brief survey of the development of education for librarianship but also to present an overview of the rapid growth of libraries and their current status in our society. Few people outside the library profession are fully aware of the wide 1mpaq of libraries or of the challenges faced by those of us involved in educating professionals for this field . F rst, a ~uick historical survey of libraries. Libraries are almost 5,000 years old , having been traced to 28002700 B.C. in ancient Mesopotamia. There is much historical literature which records their growth and development through ancient Egypt, into classical Greece and Rome, through the dark period of the Middle Ages, into the great intellectual awakening during the Renaissance, and throuP' the modern period wben libranes bave had their greatest expansion. Throughout this long period libraries have survived fires, floods, tyrants, vandals, inquisitions,_ revolutions, wars, book-burnings, and budget cnses. At the same time it should be noted that the information formats in library collections have constantly changed from clay tablets, to wood, papyrus seroUs, leather, parchment, silk, printed books on paper (beginning in the 15th century), journals, newspapers, and, in recent times, photographs, film, microform, audio recordings on disk or cassette, videotape, videocassette, and, of course, computer-generated information formats . Indeed, the creation of so many new information formats in the last 100 years has been astounding. Future historians will probably look back on this period similarly to the way we look back on the invention of pnnting and its wide impact. 1 L ibrary locations have also changed over the last 5,000 years. At first, libraries were located in temples, churches, and then monasteries. It was not until after the Renaissance that libraries began to be found in their own buildings to any large extent. The last 100 YCIIJS have seen the proliferation of thousands of library buildings in the United States. The role of the librarian bas also changed and evolved over centuries from high priest, slave librarian, civic official, scholar librarian to . professionally trained librarian. Up to the eod of the 19th century most librarians ltamed their work through on-the-job training or entered tbe field from other professions (journalism, law, aDd the ministry being the most frequent sources). The lut 100 years, aod particularly the last 40 years, have seen a tremendous inCQPK in number aod variety of libraries as well as in collection sizes. :rbere bas also been a concomitant incruse in the number of librarians an4 other information professionals. tlie The first true, tax-supported public library was established in Boston in 1848. By 1896 there were 970 public libraries in the U.S. Their number then jumped to 3,873 in 1925 and to 8,865 (plus 6,350 branches) in 1987. There were barely 450 academic libraries some 100 years ago. Now there are 3,400. There were practically no school libraries (in elementary, junior, and senior high schools) 100 years ago. Now there are almost 93,000 school library media centers in both public and private schools. At most there were a few do~n special libraries serving business, scientific, and other .,encies I00 years ago. Now there are at least 12,000 and perhaps as many as 18,000 special libranes located at museums, research institutes, banks, advertising and marketing agencies, newspapers, hospitals, government offices, law firms. cotporations, etc. • Indeed, this rapid growth of libraries bas been concentrated in the last 40 years during which the total number of libraries in the U.S. has grown from some 31,000 in 1947 to about 120,000 in 1987. Our own University Libraries are a good ~xample of the rapid growth of coUecuon SIZC. Thirty years ago they contained about 250,000 volumes and subscribed to 2,400 journals. Last year, our libraries contained over 2.4 million volumes and subscribed to almost 12,000 journals. The number of librarians has grown equall y rapidl y. U.S. census data show 52,000 in 1950; 85,000 in 1960; 124,000 in 1970; and 187,000 in 1980. Th1s 1s the second m a seues of papers by the Umversity's academ1c robe pub!rshed penodiCally during !he academic year. Each dean 1nwted to dtscuss issues of concern for his 01 her school undergraduate major in library science. We accept undergraduate degrees from almost any field . In this sense we are. like law medicine or the M.B.A. which do not ;.quire undergraduate majors. But the M.L.S. is usually a one-year, 36-<:redit-hour program. Within the M.L.S. we must not only proVIde introductory survey courses which provide a core of basic knowledge, but also advanced elective courses for specialization by type of library or type of work in a library. Curricula refl ect the wid e va riety of tas ks and responsi bilities perfo rmed by librarians. First, it should be noted that librarians do not check out books. We have a serious image problem because library users cannot identify who is a librarian and who is support staff. In most larger libraries a small proportion of the staff is made up of professional librarians. In any case. as managers of information resources, librarians are specialists in: identifying information needs; knowing where and how to find various types of information; collecting, T E ducation for librariansbip has also grown and developed sioce the establishment of the first school at Columbia. Other schools were quickl y founded, though it was not until 1924 that the American Library Association established a national accreditation agency to brini order out of the confusion of a wide variety of education programs that were being offered. In 1926 the Camegi_e Corporation provided funds for the establishment of the first Ph.D. program at the University of Chicago. Most of the library profession looked at this with suspicion, because the great majorii y of hbranans at that time had at best a bachelor's degree in library science, and there were no master's programs. But the Chicago doctorate had a positive 1mpact on the beginning of research in the profession and in the preparation of facult y .members for schools of libra ry sctence. Shortly after World War II the master of library science ~e the standard professional degree, and undergraduate programs began to be phased out in favor of a liberal arts background. There are now over 100 institutions offering M.L.S. degrees, but only 54 are accredited. It was not until 1948 that the second Ph.D. program was established at the University of Illinois. This was quickly followed by tbe establishment of doctoral pro~ at other' leading universities, mcluding Michigan, Columbia, _Wisconsin, Berkeley, UCLA, Texas, Indiana, and Olapel Hill. There are now 20 doctoral programs in library aDd information science in the U.S. At UB, SILS is in tbe process of establishin& a doctoral program with the !;all of 1989 as tbe target for first enrollments. Education for librarianship has some uniq~ features which are not common to most gradu~ programs. There is no have inco~rated the name as well as the discipline in their titles and curricula.. Most schools of library SCience have become schools of library and information science. SILS was established in 1966 as the Graduate School of Library Science but by 1968 was one of the first to encompass a broader approach when its name was changed to the School of Informatio n and Library Studies. Information scie~ce pla.ccs a great emphasis on the apphcall?n of modem technologies to Information storage and retrieval. It also concerns. itself with the stud y of the charactenstacs of mform ation. espe· £!.ally how it is transferred a nd handled. The information explosio n wh ich began after World War II res ulted n01 o nl y in the growth and creation ol many libraries, but also in the establishment of many other information agencies arrd information handling positions. Schools of librarv and information science began to also prepare graduates for these inform ation management positions outside of th e library environment. And so, we n oV~ find master's graduates who are obtaining positions with titles as 1 a ned as information analyst, informati on specialist, information counselor. information resource manager. database manager, indexer, sys(em; analyst, etc., in business and government fields. A few have gone into business for themselves as "information brokers."

We now provide rap1d co!"puter searches in almost all subject literatures. Libraries are becomint~ increasingly linked in coopera!Jve systems and networks for the sbanng of resources. Schools of hbrary and information science have added new courses to reflect these changes. Another important development ill the last ~ _ye_an has been the growth of . a ~ew diSClplme caJIOd information SCience which some think is separate and parallel to library science while oth~rs feel ~a.t it is related and a pan of hbrary SCience. Almost all schools he advent of the computer and other new technologies bas brought recent predictions from some that we will soon be in a paperless society and that both books and libraries will disappear. Books and other media formats are read for inspirational purposes, for escapist reason s. for educational needs, for carttr reasons. as well as for information. A large percentage of many public library collections is fiction. People us<: books and libraries for enjoyment, relaxation. and recreation and not just information. The predictors of doom for books aod libraries write as 1f oil published literature were found in scientific and technical journal an icles which indeed can be stored electronically aod accessed by com pUler. The book seems to be very much alive and growing. The number of . books being publishd has been n smg steadily as have tiM: number of book outlets aod book sales. Computer desk top publishiol! is actually increasing book producttvity. The hisiory of libraries is filled with predictions of their end. Similar predictions occurred with the advent of radio, tbe mass market paperback, television, aod tbe very ftrst a.ppearanct of computers in the 1950s. Instead, libraries have grown in number and size_and are continuing to increase. No doubt, libraries will change and adapt as they have throughout history, but they will conti_oue-io grow and develop as they have for the past 5,000 years. Indeed, job opponunities are . improving and there are shortages '" certain geographic areas and . specializatidns.

Ironic, yes, but that"s precisely the case with the College Democrats and College Republicans. According to Don Miller, head of the Republican group, the goal for his organization is to " push the Republican platform and follow conservative . Republican ideals." In the same vein, it is the goal of the Democrats to follow " the Democ ratic platform and get students involved in politics," said Adam Hoffman. the Democrats' leader. With that kind of a difference in ideology, it's obvious that the groups are in conflict over who will win th is November's presidential election. Just as Miller is confident that a Republican will be in the White House come 1989, Hoffman is adamant in his belief that the Democrats will control the nation 's highest office. Last spring, UB's Republicans -who "We were affiliated with the College Young Democrats but we wanted are "more conservative" than most Republicans, according to Miller endorsed the very conservative Congressman Jack Kemp. However, with their chosen candidate's demise, Miller said his group will now throw its support behind whichever candidate the Republicans choose. Miller suspects that Vice President George Bush will be the party's choice and that Kemp will be a good bet to be his running mate. Hoffman, on the other band , said his group - which is very liberal - is split in its support for Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. "Dukakis has experience with balancing a budget , which wi ll be a top priority for any candidate who is elected," said Hoffman. "Jackson is influencing the platform by his support of social issues.,.. Hoffman believes Jackson 's campaign is important because of its ability to change the party platform, which the UB Democrat beheves has become too moderate. "It's almost like a Republican platform," he said. "Jackson 'is stressing social issues, which have been largely ignored by all the other candidates.~ eyond basic differences in beliefs, which are to be expected , the two B groups are actually v,ery similar. First of all, the size of the organizations is nearly identical. Miller and Hoffman both claim between 20 and 30 hard-<:ore members and a fringe membership of roughly 200 who tum out for major speakers and events. Next is a similarity in their goals. Both leaders feel that the main thrust of their efforts is to get other students involved in politics. "We want to get as many people inv.olved in campaigns, locally, Statewide and nationally, as possible," is the .J,ay MiUer put it. "We want to revive student political freedom to set our own policies." - ADAM HOFFMAN "l'ile U B campus itself is very liberal," said Miller. " But, I think the st udents themselves are more moderate ... " It goes in cycles," Hoffman added. .. It won't ever be like the '60s again. , but it will improve" even more. Although the two men see the campus in the same light, the y do not !ee activism at UB," concurred Hoffn 1. "We want to inform students ab t political races and get them involved . Both groups also have a similar h ~>­ tory in that they were born out of the 1984 Student Association elections. · "We were started in .be late '60s," said the Republicans' Miller, " but were burned out of our office, which we shared with ROTC, during the student demonstrations and couldn't get back on campus until after th e 1984 elections." Similarly, Hoffman said his group has undergone some changes, although nothing as radical as the Republicans' bum-out. "We were affiliated with the College Youn(! Democrats, which is a national orgamzation," he said . "But we wanted more freedom, and we didn't agree with their policy. "We al~o didn't like the name 'Young,'" he joked. side from the sameness of organization, the two leaders share the belief that UB bas become a more politically aware campus in recent years. A the role of their groups as being similar. They also agree that they are polar opposites when it comes to ideology. " We believe in God, and home, and country. and we know what we believe in is right ," said MiJJer. ..The CoJJcge Republicans are very pro ud of our co untry and we are offended by th ose who go against it. .. Rather than · espousing his group's philosophy, Hoffma n chose to outli ne his o rganization's immediate plans as a means of illustrating the ideology. "We are planning to go to the (Democratic) convention in Atlanta in July," he said. "We want to get in contact with other student groups there so we can get a united student front and show that students do have the power to change the Democratic platform." 0 2222 Public Safety:S Weekly Report The tollowtng lnddenb were reported to the Oeportmont ol Public Sofoty between Fob. 26 and ~arch 4: • A cab dri~r reported Feb. 28 that after he drove t wo women to the Ellicott Complex, they ran ofT without pa~i ng the S6 fare . • Public Safety repo rted Feb. 28 t hat an exit sign was removed fr om the ceiling in Hayes Hall. causing S20 d amagt". • Public Safety char~ one man with criminal mischief and anot her with obstrud ing govern· mental administration and loitering Feb. 26 in conntttion with a broken window in Macdonald Hall.

Soon we are served piping hot tea in silver filigree holders and glass mugs. We are now warm and cozy, so it seems reasona ble to retire early. We speed along smoothly through the black night, but sleep eludes us. At one point, our compartment door flies open. From my top bunk, I see a uniformed and "Soviet Crested" male peer in. I never do find out the purpose of his unannounced intrusion. S oon we are in Leningrad . Here we see many shopkeepers and residents sweeping away the light overnight snowfall and litter with their twig brooms. The streets and walkways arl7all pristinely clean compared to Moscow. Our new quarters, "The Prybaltiskaya," offer a marvelous view of lhe Baltic Sea. Nearby is a large "Beriozka" (foreign currency) shop. This is abundantly stocked with the merchandise most desired by foq:ign visitors. It is not normally open to Soviet nationals. We are told that it is a punishable crime for any Russian citizen to possess the equivalent of S30 or more in American currency. So we firmly decline offers to change our currency for rubles, although we receive offers far in excess of the going exchange rate.

First, they say, correctly, that the research is not classified. BuL this reply ignores the issue of control over distribution of information from research, Which section 042 of the SUNY Guidelines was certainrf intended to address. Campus researcher is laser show wizard By ANTHONY CHASE W hen the laser show at Winterfest II went on in downtown Buffalo last January. nobody in the audience could know that the elevators in City Hall had wreaked havoc with the system. Nobody could know that the laser was being run at half power, and that windy conditions had been blowing equipment out of place. When show time came, everything went like clockwork, and the laser spec- tacular was a hit. Only Bob Zawada and his colleagues at Montage Inc. knew what a cho re it had been to mount the show. or course, nothing out of the ordinary really happened. The 'minutes leading up to a laser show are always tense, related Zawada. What can go wrong? "Only about 10 trillion things," he said. Was he satisfied with the show? With Zawada that's difficult to say. " I thought it must have been pretty good when I realized that lhe crowd was still standing there when it was over," he said. "Half an hour in the bitter cold wind is a long time. They must have liked it." In show business that's all that counts. itting in his office on the Main Street Campus, Zawada wears a different hat. Here he is not the wizard of laser entertainment. Instead , he is a member of the laser research team of Paras Prasad, professor of chemistry. Zawada assists Prasad in his work on laser applications for optical Computers. Light, it seems, is faster than electricity. They hope to contribute to technology that will make computers faster and more flexible than is now possible. • Academia allows you to stay on the edge of new developments in a field that is consta.n tly changing," said Zawada. In the compt4itive laser entertainment field , every advantage counts. · He told of a company that did a job for less than cost just .to get a contract. A company could really take a beating. ln the laser business it costs thousands S of doJiaJ'S just to drive the truck up. explained Zawada. At the moment there are only a few laser companies around, but new ones are popping up all the time. " It's mostly people who used to work for other laser companies," said Zawada. awada himself comes out of the optical equipment industry. Today, his Montage Inc. employs about a dozen people. In addition to projects like the recent downtown laser show, Montage takes on permanent installations. "One company wanted a theatrical Z presentation to show their customers. Occasionally it's updated," sai d Zawada. Although his clients usually have a general idea of what they want, they usually leave the specifics up to Montage. "'There was one guy who wanted to know if we could do a show with black light to be shown during the daytime," he said. Many people don' understand lasers at all. onta$e was M convmced the company that City Hall that the pro- Second, they say that if the research did become classified, SUNY Guidelines would require the project. to cease. But what does this mean? The task of the ...SDI Power Conditioning" project is, accordi ng to the contract, ..to develop high-energy density, radiation-hard capacitors to meet SOl energy discharge and power conversion objectives, .. in other words. to develop small. low-mass batteries suited to supply energy to Dirttted Energy Weapons or Kinetic Energy Weapons and designed to withstand the disruption LO elearonics that can be produced by radiation from nuclear explosions. a rTequently cited I?OSSible fonn of anack on SDI satellites. If Professor Sar· jeant makes any signiftean t breakthrough in the problem. his research would have to be classified, and then SUNY, to conform with section 042 of tht: Guildeiines, would have to discontinue the project. If the research is too successful, it will be classified. This is as if researchers looking for a cure for a disease would be required to stop their research if they got too close to finding a cure. One can only conclude thtu, by a llowing this research to be cond ucted under the prepublication review clause in the contract, SUNY is encouraging research that must remain mediocre, if it is not to be shut down. Section 042 of the SUNY Guidelines also allows the SUNY Board of Trustees to grant exceptions. At the Board of Trustees' November II, 1987 o~n hearing, the Student As.soci.ation of the Sc2te University and the Universiry of Buffalo Greens brought this violation of SUNY Guidelines to their auention. As of this date, the Board of Trustees has not: ruled that extenuating circumstances justify this violation of the 0 SUNY Guidelines. __ - AARON LERCHER (,_,_........,_ .. ...

The next hour and a half was lost in J anarchy. · Local anarchists may have gathered at Slee Hall to hear some wild, late afternoon lecture from a musician who's been sending shock waves around the world for more than half a eentury. Actually, it was a calm, prepared lecture on Anarchy, a piece of writing meant to be read aloud , and one of more than I00 books by Cage. That 's only part of his prolific -output. The New Grove Dictionary of Music considers Cage to have had more impact on world music than any other American composer of this cen- tury. Famous for his experiments with ..chance" music, Cage is mventor of the prepared piano, a piano transformed mto a percuss1on mstrument by the insertion of objectS between the strings. While at Black Mountain College in the early '50s, he created a visual and aural theatrical piece considered the li! first "Happening." He has also com- ::; posed for magnetic tape, and is the ~ long-time musical advisor for the "' M~rce Cunningham Darice Company. He is the winner of numerous awards, i 0 including a Guggenheim and an award ~ from the National Academy of Arts and Leners for having extended the boundaries of music. Cage was in town for the North American New Music Festival, which included another lecture by the composer, and a concert of his music at the Burchfield Art Center in celebration of his 75th birthday. Among his ideas on Anarchy, often expressed in non-sentences, scrambled word groupings without familiar begin- an acceptance of poverty as a way of life; poverty must exist without depending on government; politicians are useless; air, water, energy, food, shelter, communication, and transportat io n are all we need to Jive.

Law honors the late Manly Fleischmann T he Law School's celcbralion of its firsl century continued Salurday, March 5, at a Centennial Law Convocation held in the Center for Tomorrow. Following lunch , President . Steven B. Sample presented the School's 1988 Edwin F. J accklc Award posttwmously to Manly Fleischmann. Fleisc3mann was a renowned law graduate of lhc Class of 1933 who passed away lasl March af1er a distinguished career ·in legal service and education. "The man whom we honor here today symbolized the tradition of excellence which has characterized legal education and}he legal profession here in Buffalo," :Sample srud . " While we recognize the enormous contribution which Mr. Fleischmann has made to State. national, and in ternational law and relations, we also recall his close association wilh lhc University and the importanl influence he had on its early development. " Sample recalled lhal Fleischmann once taughl on ·thc law facully and was one of lhc original trustees of the UB Foundation. In 1965, Gov. Rockefeller appointed him to the SUNY Board of Trustees, a position he held until 1979. "Fortunalcly, Manly Fleischmann had the satisfaction of seeing many of his ideas transformed into realities, said Sample, noting that the late attorney had participaled in the important dcci· sions to merge UB inlo the SUNY system, and to build the campus in Amherst. Professor Albert R. Mugcl, who has taugh!iii the Law School for almost 50 years, also spoke movingly .of his laic friend and partner in the Buffalo law finn of Jaccldc, Fleischmann, and Mugcl. Also participating in the program was Dean DaVId B. Filvaroff and Law Alumni Association Prcsidenl Robert W. Keller. II was the first time thai the Jaecldc award - the highest honor the Law School can bestow - was givJ:rt posthumously since it was established in 1976. Felischmann had previously received the Chancellor Charles P. Norlon Medal, which is UB's hi~cst honor, and the SUNY Distin~gutshed "Citizen Award. Flciscbmti.nn's widow, Lois etsehmann, accepted the Jaeclde Award and said: "If Manly were here today, I am siue he would wish all the attorneys in the audience enticing ·vistas of endless litigation."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"He bad a high school average of 89 and was about 14th in his class. But he bad poor SAT sco~. His application was denied. The tragic thing is that UB was the only school be bad applied to. He assumed that he would be accepted here." Dur"kin takes no pleasure in teUing the story. But be IS proud of UB's improving freshman profile. The mean high school average for the entering freshman this fall is expected to be about 91. The average new freshman is 12th in his or her class and has combined SAT sco~ of 1126. Durkin compares this to 1985, when the average entering student was 17th in his class and had a high school average of 89. The mean combined SAT score that year was 1088. Durkin adds that 59 ,per cent of the accepted students for the fall have a high school_average of 90 or A Combined mean SAT scores have ·increased from 1088 to 11 26 since 1985. In the same span, applications are up 23 per cent. better; 47 per cent are in the top 10 per cent of their class, and 58 per cent have combined SAT sco~ over 1100. The University received 13,395 applications for the 1988 freshman class. This represents a 23 per cent increase in applications since 1985. These figures do not apply to students admitted as transfen, or through EO~illard Fillmore College or the Special\ Talent Admissions Program. Nor do they include foreign student admissions. "J n the past three to four years," says Durkin, ... we have tried to increase the number and the quality of the applications we're receiving. We are trying to become the institution of first choice in students' minds. We don 'l believe it does anyone any good if students are not qualified or if this is their fourth or fifth choice." ' Arts and Sciences, he says, have had a 29 per cent increase in applications since 1985. Applications to Arts and Letters have gone up a whopping 83.7 per cent si nce 1985. Durkin attributes the increases to .. a recruitment plan that s t = the centrality of the arts and sciences.- Engineering and the health sciences continue to do well. Applica- tions in these areas have gone up only about two per cent since 1985. Helpful to recruitment , Durkin believes, is the publicity surrounding Herbert Hauptman's wmning of the Nobel Prize, the establishment of the Earthquake Center, and the Empire State Games, held here two years tn a ~ row. "This kind of publicity is directly reflected in the lcinds of applicants we're attracting." Durkin's staff also spends many lloun on the road recruiting students throughout the State. They are often · accompanied ~ leading facully, and this helps the recruitment effort considerably. Durkin "can' remember a time" when be was turned down after asking a faculty member to take part. H e adds: ·The Graduate and Research Initiative bas had an interesting influence by causing graduate enrollment to expand. This allows undergraduate enrollment to decrease." He explains that this makes UB more competitive because there are fewer undergraduate spots available.

"Based on the analysis, the levels are low enough that there is no immediate pro blem ," said Leonard Borzynski. industrial hygienist with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. The air tests placed the a moun t of as bestos in the air at less than .02 per cub ic ce nt imeter. The federal standard is .2 per cu bic centimeter. Borzynski added th at th e check of air quality stem med from a water leak that displaced the asbestos and caused the · concern for safety. T stud y conducted for the UniVersi ty two years ago by Haii- Kimbrell Environmental Services showed that three floors in O 'Bria n contained areas where there was asbestos. The report indicated there is asbestos in several of the ceilings," said Borzynski. " But it is just on the fifth , sixth. and seventh floors. " Asbestos has been li nked to ca nce r. However, .. there'S no problem with the material if it stays intact." according to A Borzynski. " If its condition changes, tbougli, it can become a problem." The Haii-Kimbrell study examined the entire University and pinpointed areas where asbestos was prevalent. The University then " priorit ized'" these areas, from o ne, for most hazard ous, to "The overall goal is to remove all of the asbestos from both campuses within seven years." seven. for least dangerous, in an effort to iden tify. remove. and replace t he asbestos where it is most heavily conce ntrated. "The overall goal i~ to rem ove all asbestos from both campuses.·· noted Borzynski.

Borzynski said that although ;orne areas may current ly be classified as lo11 priority conce rns. that classification can change depend ing on a number of van· abies. He urged the University com· munity to help UB get rid of asbestos.

By ANN WHITCHER T he Universi ty's Special Talent Admission s program came und e r the scrutin y of the Faculty Senate last week during a joint meeting with th e Student Association government. The program allo ws un successful applicants to apply for admission to the University by virtue of a "special talent," whi ch ought to be called "special consideration ... said Faculty Senate Chair J o hn Boot. The considerallon migh t be th at the studen t has a certain athletic or artistic talent. Or it could em brace such areas as the st udent's record of community service. A st udent , too. might be given special consideratio n because of personal circumstan ces, such as a parent's divorce. "The problem arose when some felt that a ce rt ain at hletic prowess was being given more importan ce than what was origi nall y intended ," said Boot. A com mittee will shortly issue a report on the special talents iss ue, he said . It is Boot"s view that a majority of the commi ttee members ··don't share the fear that the special talent admission is unduly slanted tOward athletics." One senator said it .. doesn't make any sense to ad mit someone who has only that talent. No one is served by til at." Adam Bader. president of SA , won dered if athletics had a ny place in the special talent admissions program at all. After all, he said , a st ude nt with a special talent on the vio lin could auda tion a nd graduate with a degree io music . .. But an athlete brought in as part of the special talent ad missio ns program can' get a degree in football ." Students in the special admissions program may have displaced those in the next block of applicants who would have been admitted otherwise, Edmond Strainchamps suggested . It is a .. disservice, .. he said , to admit studen ts who cannot do the work . Thomas Kalman of Pharmacy remarked: "A large number of st udents come with excellent special tale nts but because they have excellent grad es as well, they are not tagged with the special talent label." Special talent admissions mu st be watched "very carefully. But it is not an tithetical to a universit y of quahty ," Edward Jenkins of Learning and Instruction said. D iscussion then turned to admission policies in general. Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics noted that .. there is plent y of room for doubt that the present criteria (high school average, SAT scores, rank in class) are really selecti ng those most likely to succeed academically." "The criteria we normally use don't mean a lot," Dennis Malone of Engi· neering agreed ... but we don't have a beller way of doing it." For his pan , Nichol as Kaz.arinoff wo uld like each a pplicant t o be required to submit a writing samp_le_as part of the application. He'd be w1lllng to read 200 samples a year and asked other faculty to do the same. '"You would then have 2,000 different stan· dards, " countered Jenk ins. Said Kazari· noff: "From teaching freshman calcu· Ius I know that the third of the class th~t does well can write a sentence and a paragraph. The third of the class that does poorly can' write, and they can' do anthmetic either . ., In the Medical · School, said Peter Nickerson of Pathology, at least two faculty members read each appllcauon. "We can predict the first two years. But we can' predict what kind of phys1· cians they11 make. " 0 _Center for Industrial Effectiveness lives up to its name T he Center for Industrial Effectaveness has lived up to its name, William J . Donahue, Jr., president of th e Western New York Economic Development Corp. , told th e UB Council last week. Donahue said the ce nter has retained 5,665 jobs and created 600 additional positions in the Buffalo area. The agency, he explained , was established last April by UB and the WNYEDC. Its purpo se is to help companies become more competitive. AssiStance can cover every aspect of a company"s operations, from production and quality control to purchasing, financial planning, and industrial relations. Donahue described several success stories the center has bad helping companies like Dunlop Tire Corporation and Cambridge Instruments. "Dunlop Tire announced to us that they were going to move a good share of their operations out of Buffalo. . . .Colin Drury ( UB professor and the ce.nter's dtrCCtor) took a team • f people onto · the floor at Dunlop Tire. "Their ability to do an assessment of the si tuation allowed us at the WNYEDC to work with labor and management to offer a new contracL That contract saved the company some- thi ng like S8 million, and is the basis for the company's decision to ptil a S20 mi11ion investment into the plant. We 're now competing for a medium truck radial tire plant at Dunlo p. We would not have had an opportunity to compete for this if we bad not had the program."' At Cambridge Instruments, the center's team was so successful that it was invited to panicipatC in the company's consolidation team. Donohue said . Most of the area!s large co mpan ies have asked for assistance, Donohue told the Council. "Almost all of the companies that we're involved in are now in the midst of expansion programs. " I think the biggest net effect of the program is that we've had early entry mto the company's decision-making process, something that we've never had before. Companies once simply announced that they were closing. Now we have company announcements of leveraged buyouts, closing of operations, new management buyouts, consolidations, etc. "We've been sitting in the middle of all those discussions through the Center for Industrial Effectiveness." The center now has a bacldoR of about 30 ,com- panies that would · like help, Donohue added . " It is difficult to publicize the ce nter," he said . "What we're doing is of such a confidential nature. We are ~examining "Almost all of the companies the unit has been involved with are now expanding." .,_ strategic plans of these companies. We 're getting into the midst of the problems that any organization will have. But clearly a business organization does not want these problems publicized." T A.rethwa, he Council also heard a report on the internationally recognized classics journal headquartered at UB and edited by John J . Peradotto, Raymond Professor of Classics. Pe~- dotto said the journal is 21 years old and has 500 subscribers worldwide. Most of the subscribers are libraries in th e world's major institutions of highe.r learning. There are Artthusa readers in Japan, Eastern and Western Europe. South Africa, and South America. The journal is funded t~ugh an income reimbursable arrangement. The s ub sc ription is SIO a year for in· dividuals. ~ P.ublished twice a year, the journal collected most of its early material from scholars at UB. Soon, however, it was attracting articles and essays from a wide range of contacts. "Now it is truly international, with contributions from the best scbolan throughout the world," said Peradotto. In 1972, Peradotto said, the journal "made a crucial decision . to move to theme-<:entered issues as often as possible." The journal also has an interdisci· ptinary focus . This distinguishes it from most other classics journals, Peradotto stated. The Council also wekomed J . Scoll Aeming, tbe University's new executive director of alumni relations. He was formerly associate executive director .or the alumni association at the Universtty of Michigan. 0 �March 10, 1988 Volume 19, No. 20 what took place in the exam ar.d what his criteria are. "On the other band , if the professor is saying, 'I'm not evaluating this piece of worlr. at face value. I am deCiding that you, the student, have cheated and, therefore, I'm ~oing to penalize you,' I don' thinlr. this is a professorial prerogative without due process. "So I thinlr. there ought to he more due process in tbe sense of aU such cases going to the honor court. But I do think that once the court bas made a decision, the procedure beyond that court should he very much constrained." About cheating It needs attention, faculty, students agree By ANN WHITCHER beating is an issue that deserves attention from stu· dents and faculty alike. This was the consensus following a joint meeting of the Faculty Senate and the Student Association March 2. Use and reuse of the same testing materials by teachers drew lire from both groups. "Tests are often _given in a way that encourages cheating," noted Ken Gage, SA's director of student affairs. The use of the same tests from year to year is especially bothersome, be said. Lisa Kasuga, chair of SA's academic council, agreed. "It's frustrating. Some students are getting higher marks, not because they studied but because they have material unfairly in their possession." Faculty Senate Chair John Boot sided with the two students. Giving the same exam each year, he observed, .. is uncalled for and promotes cheating. I think that when we hear about that, we OtJBht to certainly alert the professor to our disagreement with him or her." Several senators noted the distinction between giving the same exam and using old tests as a teaching aid. Commented Thomas Kalman of Pharmacy: "There is some legitimacy in C heating is often due to class size, several senators said. StrainC champs recently had to schedule an exam for 200 in a room that was designed for 180. "There are no individual chairs, only long banquettes. Many of the students sit or lie on the floor. They are so close together that there is practically a fusion of their flesh. "Not only that, but the room is sloped so that all those who sit in the , back rows can loolr. down easily on the rows in front. I tried to get proctors. I was able to coerce a couple of graduate students. If the Student Association could establish a team of proctors, then we could call on them in such a situation.?! Straincbamps wil.l bold his next big exam in Slee Concert HaU, which seats 670. In the case of large classes, said Dennis Malone, "If you could spread students out so they couldn't: possibly loolr. at each other's papers, tb1lt would be line. But in large courses, the avail· ability of classrooms is such that you can' do that." everal said helps a professor clearly states his or her views on S cheating at the beginning of the course. it a studenCs looking at old exams, for form and content, and to see the way questions are aslr.ed and the way the exam is put together." Edmond Strainchamps of Music said giving the same exam is "slipshod on the professor's "part and extraordinary good luck from the student's point of view." He brought up what he views as another problem area: I U am one of those who bas had the experience of being startled at plagiarism, which is theft, after aU. When I wanted to do something about it, I was discouraged at aU the levels abovt my department. I was made to understand that I was some lr.ind of out and was causing a lot of embarrassment for everybody. Cnuldn' I just forget it? Couldn' the student just do another paper? "Ultimately, I was told that it was aU my own busmess. There was -no set of guidelines, no authority, nobody to tum baclr. to. I was discouraged from trying to get a severe punishment. "I think that students would do well to propose a regular syste!D for dealing with aU phases of dishonesty, whether it's _piclr.iog up papers in class or cribbing from books, or turning in variations on a central theme paper that's being passed houses." around the fraternity everal faculty described the difficulties of pursuing a cheating case. Dennis Malone of Engineering said "most faculty care very much. But the problem of pursuing it beyond the very elementary stage is a horrendous process that most faculty tend to give up on. One of the reasons is that if you keep on pushing aU the way through , by the time you get to the last level of appeals, by and large, nothing much happens as a result. "So an awful lot of faculty say, 'hey, why should I bother. Because I won' · ultimately be supported by the institution.' So if your response is to give an - F on an exam, you can probably do that. But if you really want to push it to the point of getting the student out of the University .. .most faculty simply become discouraged." John Boot concurred. " First you go to the departmental level and they think it's serious. They have a penalty that is this bigb. And the student keeps protesting. A lot of time later, and a lot of committees later, you have the S dean's level. And the student can move it still higher. By the time you finish , it is one and a haJJ years later, and 2,000 man or woman hours later, and still , there is no real penalty. By this time, the student has graduated . " If the evidence is there and it is supported at the departmental level, then the rest of the appeals ought to go very fast ." Rights should be protected , Boot said, but there "should not he more leniency added as the process goes on.ft if Said Malone : ··1 make it clear that I will do my <lamnedest to get them out of the course. out of the (engineering) school, out of the University, out of the co unt ry. As far as I know, stud ents don' cheat very much in my class." Strainchamps also lays down the law. " I suspect that it cuts cheating down, but it doesn' stop it. " Robert Kliclr. of Medical Technology said students in his department must sign a statement indicating their lr.nowledge of cheating penalties and procedures before they can be admitted as majors. P owhatao J . Wooldridge of Nursing proposed that the student/ faculty honor court adjudicate cheating cases. "Perhaps what should be happening is that the importance of this committee in the appeals procedure - and in setting up guidelines for what is approp· riate and inappropriate behaviOr should he increased . This is a joint (student-faculty) committee, which is exactly where I think the proplem belongs." He added: "I think it is the professor's own prerogative to do exactly what be wi$es in imposing a penalty, strictly on the objective grounds of Boot contended that students mu5t assume some of the responsibility for the cheating problem. "In aU my years here, I've never bad a student who was willing to go on the line and say I want to help lr.eep the system honest. It seems to be a student ethic that you cannot testify against your peers." Malone agreed: "Students need to remember that a faculty member can· not be everywhere all the time. They simply cannot see (cheating) all the time. "I think that it's a problem that both students and faculty have to work on." ,-----0 UB's athletic facilities in the national spotlight By JOE MARREN B's athletic facilities are moving from the backseat of national prominence to the driver's seat.

Among others: • Errigo, one of the tournament's favorites at his weight class. lost 6-5 in his quarterfinal match after leading for most of the contest . "Joe sustained a gash over his eye with about 45 seconds to go in the match," explained Michael. "He was winning at the time. but the match had to be stopped so we could stop the bleeding. I think that affected his composure because he was taken down twice in the last 45 seco nd s and lost." • Irving, an All-American last year, lost in the semifinals after leading his Ithaca opponent late in the match: " Steve was winning by two with four seconds to go when he was taken down and put on his back," recalled Michael. "He ended up losing by two." • Capone. wresliing in his first championships, probably suffered the toughest setback of any wrestler, from any team, in the tournament. "Jim tied his man 3-3 in regulation and then I- I in the overtime period," explained Michael. "lf a match is tied after overtime, then it goes to criteria" which is akin 10 a tie-breaker system. After the referee determined that the first five criteria of the two wresliers were even, be awarded the match to Capone's op_p onent on the sixth criteria relations he has had with pia yers at Division Ill won 't change as he begins choosing who gets aid .. . ." grounds that there was a discrepancy in the time keeping. The protest was overruled and Capone had to settle fo r third . His opponent won the weig ht class. " If it had gone to the next criteria , Jim would have won," said an exaspe rated Michael. • Finally, to add insult to inju ry Bailey, who had had an up and d ow~ year and a disappointing tournament discovered his leather jacket had bee ~ stolen. "These types of things happen in all tournaments,". said Michael , " In order for you to won , though , they have to hap~en to the other guys.

However, that doesn' mean just Protestant Christianity, Hobbs said, adding that public school children ought 10 have full exposure to all religions: Would that ruffle some feathers? Well, yes, but it would create an open forum for all systems of belief. Hobbs said there is a world of difference between teaching students about religion and leading them in its practice. Hobbs' comments came during a talk titled " Putting Religion Back in Public Schools - Textbooks and Prayer," sponsored by campus religious organizations. Hobbs, a professor of educational organization, administration, and policy at UB, presented what he called a mixture of sociological and legal ~n.­ siderations, plus personal judgment. 'There's a world of difference between teaching students about religion and leading them into it." ny discussion of religion in public A schools presupposes several points, he remarked . These are: • Religion was in public schools in the_pasl. • Religion has been excluded from public schools. • There are two aspects of educational life in which this exclusion is most detectable: textbooks and prayer. • This exclusion is grounded, among other things, in constitutional considerations. As for the first point, there is no doubt, according to Hobbs, that the rdigion of Protestant Christianity was once in public schools. Early on in the American educational system. the Bible itself was often the prime element for study. The classic primer McGuffey"s Reader, proclaimed its purpose was "to instill religious and moral values" along with civic responsibilities. in students. "Religion generally was not tolerated in public schools, however," Hobbs said. Protestant Christianity was the onlyo view given a hearing. Roman Catholicism, for example, was clearly out. That condition no longer exists, Hobbs explained. Protestant Ch~tian­ ity is no longer the only, or even necessarily the preferred religion that has an influence on public schooling. This does not mean thai religion has been excluded from the schools, however. The most obvious evidence of this is the phrase "One nation under God" in ' the pledge students daily recite 10 the American flag. Additionally, winter and spring "Should one sect take umbrage at that, they11 have to get used 10 it," be noted. In his view. there are fewer .. risks" in exposing children to many systems of belief than there are in aJlowing one view to dominate in a democratic society. Such a forum has not developed in many locations because writers, publishers, and school authorities, fearing legal action, now fail to put any religion in textbooks. "(These groups) ha~e bent over backwards so many times, they have no backbone at all," Hobbs affirmed. "Now they decline to tell the story at all," even though academic integrity, in his view, demands its inclusion. breaks are centered on the traditional Christian holidays of Christmas and Easter. Schools also may not schedule examinations on days of religious observance. H obbs noted , too, that the Bible is studied as literature in many schools. In fact , no school may prohibit a teacher from displaying a Bible or other religious .. symbol .. on or immediately near his or her desk . The teacher cannot impose his benefs on students, but he may freely respond to any questions these symbols evoke. Students may not be indoctrinated , even indirectly, in a particular religious belief. They may, however, be exposed to comparative religious studies. What has transpired , rather than the elimination of religion from schools, has been a widening of opportunities for all religions lo promote their point of view, Hobbs said . In this way, those who hold a particular view as truth must contend for their beliefs in an open forum. This is very desirable in a pluralist democracy. he added . H obbs argued that schools ought not to encourage praying, however, citing the Supreme Co4rt's statement that "prayer is the quintessential practice of all religions." "There is a world of difference between teaching students about religion and leading them into it," he explained . Exposure to religion is one thing. Practice is quite another. and it's not up to the schools to decide. As far as the Constitution is concerned. the cxdusion of religion from public schools is "for the most part fiction," Hobbs added . The Constitutional standard which must be met in these cases is that of "accommod at ing neutrality." What lhat means is that Jaws must have a secular purpose, a primarily secular impact. and cannot involve the government in excessive entanglement with religion, be explained. According to Ibis standard, religious exp ression is neither to be coerced nor hindered by the government or by government agencies. ln other words, laws .cannot be _pas~ excluding the teachmg of rehg10ns m schools. This certainly sets the stage for an open forum for religion in public schools, he offered. Hobbs' lecture, sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ, was pan of the "U.S. Constitution and Religion" lecture series organized by UB's Campus Ministry Association. 0 Books • NEW AND IMPORTANT DONNIE BRASCO by Joseph D.

That's how the space on the south side. of Baldy Hall looks today. All that will change on April 20-24. Those arc the dates sched uled for the construction of a new playground at UB's Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC). The new Cbristine Cataldo Memorial Play Area won't look hke the average playground. according to James Hoot. director of the ECRC. The planned new play area, . a "creative play space." IS des•gned with children's development in mind . The des ign stems from research indicating that children's cognitive development is linked directlv to their play, Hoot explained . He adds that the first eight years are especially imponant tn thts development. Most playgrounds emphasile building bodies. Hoot said . But a creati ve play space also emphasiles building mind s. It docs zhal by offering choices for children, explained Ernie Bayles. a representative of Robert S. Leathers and Associates. the architectural firm that designs such cu•tom-made play areas. ''Traditional playground activities are geared toward specific stimulations. such as spinning. moving. and sliding," Bayles said. "They offer only one choice at each station. The concept of a creative play space is to enco urage a wide variety of activities." Lumber, ti res , and slides are fashioned into an interconnected series of spaceships, castles, turrets, ships, bridges, or whatever children want them to be as they spend their play time. "The focus is on the child as decision-maker," he said . In fact, children had a say in the design of the space. Leathers and his associates met with children from the center last spring to determine what they wanted in their play space. T he play area will be built through a concerted effort of parents, staff, Playground by the same designers at Windemere Elementary School. tools and other equie,ment. plus an enormous amount of fund-raising and planning effort on the part of those involved . students, and a host of others. On construction weekend. a group will descend on the area and put the pieces together, he said. This assumes that enough help shows up. More voJunrecrs a~ welcome. "Th is i not one of the b1ggest creative play areas we've built . but it has been one of the more difficult ones." Bayles added . M . Attempting to co nstruct a communtty· built playground on State-owned land is tricky ," he said. first because pe op le perceive it as not available to the communit y at large. and second because the perception outside the Unive rsity is th at UB has plenty of money, so they should be able to foo t the bill . · "'We've met with greater success than I would 've guessed" on that score. Bayles said . . . That's partly because the Umvem ty did pick up some of the expense. The new play space would cost nearly $75,000 if it were built by an outSide firm , acco rding to Chris Bogan, administrative assistant at the ECRC. Instead the total cost will be approximately s'2o,ooo, which is the cost. of materials plus the architect's consultmg costs. The difference is made up by the free labor of parents, students, and staff, donations of money and loans of Those efforts have included candybar sa les. a bake sa le. a buy-a-board campaign (big boards cost S8. little ones S3), and the collection of cash regISter receipts and returnable cans and bouJes ar the cent er. II this has raised a co ns iderable amount of support for the project. The center is still approx imately S4.000 A short of its goal, however.

Cutbacks would mean settling for a second-rate structure and the original rationale fo r the old play area, Hoot said. Why the upgraded space? The previous playground was dangerous , wi th an asphalt surface and large, cumbersome chunks of precariously stacked wood .

Faculty and administrators were on band, but most of the group were volunteers from the Alumni Association. "They're giving up a day of work to be here," said Vice President for University Relations Ronald H. Stein. also a member of the Bluebird bus entourage. The group was participating in "SUNY Day in Albany," at which representatives of many SUNY campuses made presentations to State senators and assemblymen. For the UB group, most of the discussion focused on the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research . There were other points to be made as well. These included UB's req uest for S2 million to develop centers of excellence at live of the affiliated hospitals: and $3.9 million more (SUN Y-wide) for the Graduate and Research Initiative. UB receives about 40 per cent of the GRI funds. The alumni group included a retired auditor, an Albany-based lobbyist for the Sierra Club, and a Buffalo attorney. They also asked for S4 million more, SUNY -wide, for OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) fund s; and a S6 million addition, SUNY -wide, to the (Above) Capital looms in background as the group begins to make its rounds .

However. there were brief visits with Sen. Walter J . Floss, Jr., and Assemblyman William B. Hoyt. The delegation moved swiftly from appointment to appointment, contend- ing with a hectic pace and crowded elevators. The halls were filled with members of such diverse groups as the New York State ubrary Association and New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedom. It was also "Arts Day," and Kitty Carlisle Hart was among those advocating specific legislation affecting the arts. In meeting after meeting, UB alumni insisted that the Earthquake Center be made a separate line item in the Science and Technology Foundation section of the budget. Specifically, UB is asking the legislature to provide S4 million as a separate line item for the center in the 1987-88 deficiency budget, and $2.5 million as a separate line item in the 1988-89 executive budget. This would ensure, said Ron Stein, that the center would not have to compete with "heat at Fredonia or pencils at Broclr.port." It would also prevent other SUNY units from resenung UB because a portion of their G Rl funds are being used for the Earthquake Center, said Kathy Bercbou, president of C.S.E.A. J .P.

According to Walcholder, SUNY thinks it can save S 15 million by a planned refinancing arrangemcm. If the measure is approved by the State, SUNY wants to make sure that the SIS million in sa vings will be used for expenditures for SUNY and not dumped into the 'State's general coffers. She added: "if thi s (measure) is approved. it could go a long way toward address mg such issues as {the funding of) GRI." B is "the one shining star," Phyllis Kelly, past president of the alumni U associatio n, told Sen. Floss. "It has tremendous potential for bringing back our area." Richard Lennon, a member Some "will swallow hard but in the final analysis they will fund this thing." There were other assurances from legislative aides. Stephanie Walcholder, legislative assistant to William Hoyt, said it was "insane" to take money for the Earthquake Center out of the State's total GRI funding. "The University does not have a stronger advocate than medical technology. of the Engineering Alumni Association Many alumni expressed puzzlement board and a retired corporate auditor at the governor's actions. "Where is his consistency?" wondered alumnus Diane McMahon, a Buffalo allomey. Said Stephanie Walcholder: "The governor is not happy with SUNY this year.

The Earthqualr.e Center is actually a consortium of institutions headed by UB, they said. It includes Columbia, Cornell and Re11sselaer Polytechnic Institute. Each member of the consortium receives substantial research funding through the center. Additionally, Clarkson University, City College of New York, and Polytechnic University of New York are conducting research funded by the Earthqualr.e Center. Such centers as the Cardiac Transplant Center and the planned Genetics Center at Children's Hospital "are aU hospital based," said Ron Stein. "They are a direct benefit to the area," agreed Robert Klick, UB associate professor of Komisar's statement that he couldn't eginning Monday, March 14, I.D. will be checked at the Alumni Arena front and rear doors.

At the same time, Town· send hopes area youth and community groups can occasiOnally use the building, in the form of "organized and supervised" activities. There are no 0 concrete plans as yet, be said. �Even after a person has been at UB for several months, or even years, there are bound to be things about the place that remain puzzling. In fact, the confusion may increase as the years go by. At the very beginning, the major puzzlement involves geHing lost. Students who have classes in Clemens show up at Clement. Visitors enter the EllicoH Complex and come out days later, disoriented and incoherent. After people learn their way around, puzzlements of a more subtle nature remain. Many report that they are embarrassed to ask questions about things that seem to be obvious to everyone else. To help diminish this problem, the Reporter offers answers to the ten _j questions most commonly asked by newcomers to UB. II What does "provost" mean? ,-. -.., Freshme n arc especially confused by this one. The idea of a dean is difficult eno ugh. but at least people have seen a dean o r two in films like Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds , and Bock to School. None of these movies featured a provost. Not only do we have a provost, there's an associate provost, an assistant provost, assistants to the provost, vice provosts, associate vice provosts, and assistant vice provosts. The list grows, changes, and goes on and on. So what does it mean? You tell us. Is a provost: A) the chief dignitary of a cathedral chapter? B) the chief magistrate of a Scottish burgh? · C) the keeper of a prison? D) a high-ranking university administrative officer? Actually all four choices are correct definitions of tbe word. In the case of UB, we would like to suggest "D" as tbe most appropriate. • .t .. r.1 1 ••,.. • • ,. , ·, • fl What is signage? How do you know when you have enough of it - or even if you've got the right kind? Does it have anything to do with signs? ls signage to signs as coverage is to cover, or frontage is to front? Or is it more like beverage or the space-age - or deskage and chairagc? How is the deskage and chairage situation at UB anyway? No dictionary defines signage, but it has definitely become a word that is getting increasing usage. II What is spinality? The UG L has it. So have the law school and the Baldy walkway. The new undergraduate college wanted it, but the UGL wouldn' give up any of theirs. It's spinality :proximity to the spine. And With the space crunch on, everybody is scrambling for iL II Why is there no 3rd floor in Capen Hall? Engineering Libr.,Y is inside tbe UGL. To keep tbe books from walking ofT, people can only pass between the. libraries and tbe rest of tbe building Ride the Capen elevator some time. through the UGL's one main entrance. The numbers go from two to four. To~ in or out of lbe Science and Why? . EngmeeriQg LibiJlfY, one must go . That's easy. You see, tbe librartes in tbrough the UGL. Since SEL occup1es Capen are not actually housed in a tbe entire third floor of Capen Hall, building separate from Capen Hall. there is no reason for the building's ThirK of it as a box inside a boJL The main elevator to stop there. Get it? UGL is inside Capeo. The Science and There's more to this little joke, .. ,. "' ' ' ' ' ,. ~·' ' . ' ... ' ' ... ' ... ,. ,. ,.•.,. ,..... . . .,.,... . ,........ . .... �March 10, 1988 Volume 19, No. 20 Horace would say, "s..quipedalia verba. "(Loosely translated , "Ain' that a mouthful!") II What is the Chilled Water Plant? Everyone who passes the Chilled Water Plant wonders what it's for. Actually, just as you would expeet, this is where the water for all the campus drinking fountains is chilled. At night, cold water is obtained by melting snow brought down from the Adirondacks. This water is then bottled and carried by pony can to the various buildings around campus. Kidding aside, the Chilled Water Plant is an immense operation that oversees various aspectS of the physical plant including air-<:~c1rtioning, plumbing, and the natatt>ri um. (See accompanying story.) II What is the "Space Crunch"? That's when your depanment is in Clemens but your classes are in Baldv. Or when your department is in Baldy but your classes are in Ellicon or in the Alumni Arena. That"s when there are 28,000 people at a university and room for only 27.999. II Don't medical students need to know what time it i$? though. Suppose you have a meeting in 434 Capen Hall. The fourth floor is divided between the Libraries and the main building, and yo u can,, of course. pass from one side to the other. Is your meetmg m the libraries or in the - main building? Unless you've been there before. you can only be sure after you go up to the fourth floor by elevator. If you've made a mistake, you then have to get back on the elevator, $0 down to the first floor, go mto the other part of the building, and back on the other elevator. lsn' that easy? Perhaps this situation could be improved with beller signage. II Have you ever noticed that no two ) clocks in Cary tell the same time and that half of them aren' even working - and haven' been for a couple of years? No explanation was available at press time. II What does "proactive" mean? Oh yes. This one is very important. Perhaps it's confusing because proactive used to be an educational term meaning interference between old learning and new learning. Not any more. According to legend, before the 1980s people never thought ahead. We were reactive - responding to events after they happened and just trying to make the best of it. Then •somebody came up with the clever idea of anticipating events and preparing for inevitability and contingency through prior needs assessment, prioritizing, feasibility studies, and lots of interfacing among the concerned parties. This is being proacti~, and it's guaranteed to . optimize your chances of facilitating the eventuation of a copacetic scenario. What is a natatorium? Accon:ling to informational signage, there's a Dll8torium 'kept in the Alumru Aii:na. Many have gone in to the .creature only to find a swtmmmg pool. Actually, as disappointing as it may seem, t~at swimming pool is the natatonum. If you say it in Latin it becomes much (ancier. . Th~ natatorium is very !lear the wrecuonal signage for the egress. As =. What is a "kiva" and why do we have a special room for it? A lc.iva is a Pueblo Indian ceremonial structure that .is characteristically round and partly tlnderground. So's the room in Baldy by tbe same name. lf you don' believe us, look it up. 0 �March 10, 1988 Volume 19, No. 20 10:30 Lm.

Exposure to wide-ranging ideas and systems of thought is important because it helps students to take a wellbalanced, ethical approach to knowledge in their field. Such exposure should be provided by teachers, Boyer said . Many colleges today emphasize specialized resea rch and the professor's loyalty to his profession . Scholars, though, must honor teaching along with research, he suggested . In his view, a scholar is someone who discovers knowledge, integrates it with that of other fields , applies it, and presents it to the next generation. "Teaching is an affirmation of scholarship at its best." By JIM McMULLEN hat should be taught in an undergraduate program? How can it be taught? How can we evaluate the results? What is the context in which all this is W carried out? .. If those issues are discussed and continue to be discussed that's a sign, in my judgment, of a vibrant community of learning," Ernest Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, said here last week . Boyer, the author of College: The Undergraduate Experience in America. was speaking on "College: Making the Connections." A former U.S. commissioner of education, Boyer wa s chancellor of SUNY from 1970-1977. B undergraduate education . These oyer identified five priorities in are: • language proficiency, both written and spoken; • a core curriculum educat ion; of general • a blending of the liberal arts and sciences: • the centrality of teaching; and • strengthening the qualit y of campus life. Boye r first urged his audience to consider the imponance of language proficiency for students. A Carnegie Foundation survey revealed that 60 per cent of college professors think students are generally unprepared to read with comprehension and wri te with clarity or precision . This, he said, is unacce ptable. Clear writing leads to clear thinking, and writing should be stressed throughout the undergradu ate curriculum so that st udents " language skills are en~ouraged and strengthened , Boyer sa1d. Ernest Boyer To develop that integrity, Boyer said , students should be encouraged to see individual disciplines within an economic, political, and historical context. This should happen within a general education framework . Unconnected courses and knowledge prepare students only for a vast game of trivial pursuit. "Knowledge without a context is the worst kind of pedantry," he said. That context is as important for the Ph.D. ca ndidate as it is for the college · The use of language, he said, is a sacred trust. That trust depends on words themselves and the quality and honesty of the communication. As George Orwell put it, "Flawed language feeds upon itself. " For this reason, personal integrity, along with clarity, is the key to language proficiency, and the two should be developed together at the university," Boyer noted. --I-nterdisciplinary connections must be I made outside the classroom, too, Boyer said. An emphasis on interconnectedness in campus activities, research, and conversation will build a community loyal to the university and to learning . ... 1'm not romanticizing this issue," he remarked . "I 'm saying a campus community should be held together by more than plumbing and a common grievance over parking." Boyer praised UB's commitment to the new Undergraduate College and its freshman seminars as a step in the right direction: ... Increasing fragmentation in society beyond college makes the notion of a community more than just a romantic notion; it makes it a cultural imperative. "The fact that something has been called the Undergraduate College has started a new dialogue," one which stresses alternative app roaches t o knowledge and it s acquisition . he commented. The development of such alternatives, Boyer said, makes this the most interesting period of academic rebuilding in 30 years. 0 NCAA swimming-diving championships under way T he NCAA Division II Men's and Women 's Swimming and Diving Champion ships continue through Saturday (March 12) at the Recreation and Athletics Center natatorium. .

" But in the long run it should save a bundle." The facility saves !be University money on more than just thermostats. Almost no work is contracted out. Fixing things on campus allows the work to be done faster and more cheaply, explained Halstead. In addition to !be vandalism problem, Halstead lamented !bat people are not safety-conscious. "There are m volts in a beater," he warned. "People will sticlt a screwdriver down in there - they don't lcnow what they're monkeying around witb. I've seen a screwdriver burned off in one of !bose. "A light has 277 volts running through it !1f<1 if the box happens to have two circuits, that's 480 volts. That will charbroil you real fast." be Chilled Water Plant itself has an T outstanding safety teeOrd. · lmoughout the tbere are ~uilding railings; and potentially dangerous equipment is chained down. The building is isolated from the rest of the campus. U somebody wants a doughnut, he has to wait for !be coffee truck. The shuttle bus doesn't go tbere.

The program includes the latest equipment and techmquc:s, she said. There is laser surgery: mammography, an examination of the: breast: ultrasound, which can pick up abnormalities in the uterus and other organs, and a densitometer. .,.,hich can asKss bones for osteoporosis. The hospital will also offer infenility services. Sulewski noted. Legislation passed in December linally allows not just the veteran, but 1M . veteran's spouse, to be tested for infcnility at the VA. (The fertility evaluation isn' complete without t he wife's evaluation, she explained .) Any veteran can get treatment at the VA Medical Center. she said. And it's inexpensive.

T he exhibit is a collection of some of the pieces he has received si nce the early 70s. As its name implies, mail an is in essence a postal art gallery, staffed by a world-wide network of artists who circulate th eir works. tho ughts, ideas. and social co mmentaries through th e mail. Its roots arc in the post-World War I Dadaist moveme nt , which utilized form. word. and shock val ue to im part its message. Usi ng the printed word in a varie ty of media, these artists chose humor. parody, and outright no nsense as a means of criticizing bourgeois attitudes, war, and the negative aspects of lcchnological profiteering. Likewise, mail art, which began lo develop as a form of expression in the late '50s and early "!iOs. carries on th is genre of visual metapho r, provid ing social comment by taking a traditional veh icle - co rrespondence - and looking at it from a different point of view. chalski became involved in the rt network as a st udent at U B a visiting professor of sculpture introduced him to the medium. ·· 1 just sort of started writing to peo- ple and il took off from there," he said .

Since he has been involved in the mail art network , Puchalski said, 1hc medium "has changed a lol. It 's slarled repeating itself." Much of !hal change occurred in the 70s when mai l art began lo appear in periodicals such as File. "A lot was lost when the an for m became 'legilimale,' " he said .

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Manens , associate vice president for computing and information technolog y, told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week. · Last summer, UB became pan of a "regional high-speed" network that gives it access to six supercomputer facilities across the country. Supercomputers can process data at a rate of hundreds of millions of calculations per second, comp3fed with dozens of millions for the next range of machines. Not surprisingly, they are the fastest available general-purpose scientific computers. The power of these supercomputers "will likely grow one hundred-fold in the next three years, .. said Martens. " They are just phenomenal. " The supercomputers have become so impor~ tant to UB that Manens has assigned two staff members to their coordination. They are Geraldine Sonoesso and Dr. Jay A. Leavitt, formerly the director of academic computing. There are UB researchers, he said, "who are very sophisticated users of the supercomputer. There are some whose livelihood depends on the supercomputer." The University also has about 55 devices are Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, and ComP.uler Science. Manens also descnbed the University's networking service, which currently suppons an electronic mail system . He said the Computing Center hoj>es to put the University phone book in a data base that all could access. He hopes this will take place next year. Through the network, he continued , faculty and administrators can now transmit files from a microcomputer to a larger computer, and vice versa. eanwhile, miol <lCOmputing itself "is growing by leaps and bounds." There are now about 2800 microcomputers on campus that the ·university owns. As a general goal, Manens said, the University hopes to have a terminal in every faculty member's office within the next two years. Many depanmeots are now completely outfitted. These include Management, Engineering, and Computer Science. As for the other depanments, the range is anywhere "from ten to 70 per cent." The IBM system and the VAX cluster are ""in good shape." However, :? annual adjustments are needed to keep ~ up with the expanded software avail- ~ able. It is Martens' view that ""the same ~"> type and quality of software should be ~ available on both (VAX and IBM) systems." Manens also said the Computing M higher performance microcompurers in Cenler .. is supporting a limited number use. "These are fantastic devices, marvels of technology," Mancos said. They can process I0 million instructions per second and are panicularly useful in computer-aided design, desktop publishing, and other "graphically intense" activities. Among the depanments making use of ~hese "amazmgly powerful" of software packages ," thereby saving the University money by avoiding unnecessary prolife ration. The center also has a purchasing checkpoint so that faculty and administrators don' buy "oddball" equipment "that we can' suppon." Martens said the center is searching for a new director of academic computing. "We hope to have some kind of resolution by the end of March." Finally, Manens reported that the Computing Center bas a new FAX machine that f~ty and administrators may use by calling 636-3081. 0 By FRANK BAKER omputers. They're everywhere. In the home, at the office, and in just about any business that de;Us with numbers over ten. Even this story was written with the aid, albeit small, of a computer. In shon , computers are a part of all C our lives. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here to stay. So, if we're all forced to interact with the confounded machines. why not make it the most pleasa nt experience that it can be? That's exactly what Martin Helander, an associate professor of indust rial engineering at UB. th ought when he became chairman of the United States Technical Advisory Group to the International Standards Organization (lSO). B esides having a mouthful of a title, Helander's position is one in which he, and colleagues from across the country, can come up with standardizations for any of a number of things. Included in that generic term "things" is a design for the computer workplace that is most beneficial to the employee. According to Helander, his group's study is the first in which "human factor eogineerio!!" - his specialty - has been t'lkeo mto consideration with • regard to computers ·o the workplace. Thd means his panel looked at what factors made a computer work area the most uncomfortable for employees and least productive for management and zeroed in on ways to make things better for both groups. They did so by compiling data on computer workplaces that they received from hundreds of different companies from across the nation. What they found was so interesting that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has adapted the group's policy .as a guideline that may be vol~ntanly followed by any state in the uruon. W Among other things - enough to fill. a 100 page repon - Helander's hat were the group's revelations? gtoup looked at different designs forchairs to belp posture, at image quality for various video display terminals (the dreaded von. at bow much noise in the office is. conducive to good produc.tivity, and at ~ow keyboards can be designed to limit errora. · ~The study is very detailed and took four yean to compile," said Helander. "We studied many things" among which was bow "VDT image quality affects productivity." For instance, whether or not the screen is easy to read will either enhance or deerease productivity for the worker. "Studies have shown that productivity is bun by a poor screen quality," noted Helander. grol!i"- also studied the use of T color d!Jplay on . tenoi'!als and came up With some toteresuog coobe elusions . For example, Helander said comput- l)B is linked to Cornell University's computer center and to five other superconductors throughout the nation through two networks. er companies should not make software that uses blue characters on a dark background because that color doesn' show up well. He also discovered that graphics can be greatly emphasized by using different colors to illustrate specific points. However, there is a Jimit to tbe use of colors, he said. "Seven different colors are the most that should be used for a color display," said Helander. "More than seven and the points cannot be emphasized as well." These findio~s wii L now be sent to the ISO where It .will ~oted on to see if, indeed, the whole world should standardize · computer workplaces in lbe ways elander's group found were most agreeable. Besides helping the beleaguered worker who must sit in front of a VDT for eight hours a day, Helander's study can also prove beneficial to manufacturers. "Manufacturers will also be helped because they can look at the standards and say !bat their product fits the ANSI guidelines,~ said Helander. elander noted that his grolij), made up of 20 experts from across the H U.S .. works on many different areas of resear<:b and then sends its findings to the ISO in Geneva. · If the people in Geneva deem Helan!!er's current study to be the one which all countries should voluntarily follow, UB will have a small pan in making the world a better place for all office workers.

Nat ural radiation exposure in Denver, Colorado. is seven times greater than that in New York City, said Gale. The lowest dose of radiation con tamination at Chernobyl was equal to the natural dose in New York Citv. The worst evacuee at Chernotiyl received less radiation than Denver residents do in a lifetime, he explained. Gale also put mortalit y rates from nuclear accidents into a unique perspec-tive. The highest antici pated number of deaths from the Chernobyl acciden t is 25,000. This compares to 70,000 people who are expected to die from medical radiation and the 350,000 who will die from natural radiation exposure over the next 70 years. In the same period , one million fossil fuel industry employees are expected to die in the U.S.S.R. Some four million Soviets will die in automobile accidents. and 10 mi llion will die from smoking to bacco. he said . Gale said he was not trivializing nuclear accident deaths.

" P cering into the fu ture. UB President Steven Sample had an opUm!Stlc prognosas: Buffalo has an edge ove r cities of co mparable size. Also, the University and other research insti tuti ons will have an important role in the city's future . Sample spoke last week at the Albright-Knox An Gallery as pan of ""Buffalo 2000: Visions of the Future." a lecture series sponsored by the gallery and the Friends of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design. F n a different note. Gale demonst rat ed th e stag gering heal t h impact of nuclear war. Today. one nuclear missile is equal to all the fi re power exchanged during Wo rld War II . said Gale. A limited exchange of nuclear a rm s would create 3.000 times the fi re power of both World War II atomic bombs th at killed 193.000 and injured I 55,000. A full exchange would be 18 million times as powerful. 0 A cartoon caption, -My docwr told :ne to cu t down on guns ... not butter," tllustrated Gale's key point: Physicians are the only ones _who fully understand th e health impact of nuclear war. He later told re poners that to be defenseless is not the sol ution . However, "we need fewer weapons:· Nuclear energy and nuclear arms are amo ng many complex technologies that do not have ..1..ero risk ," said Gale. His patients are proof of what medical scie nce can and cannot do in the wake of nuclear accident: • ·An 11-year-old Braz.ilian boy was exposed to radioactive cesium 137 after he played with a discarded radiotherapy machine in a razed clinic. Uneml'loyed townspeople stripped its protecuve lead encasement to sell for scrap metal. This yo ung patient is alive. But because he is highly radioactive, he is isolated from society. • In the same accident, another little girl w)lo died had to be entombed like a reactor. Her remains will be radioactive for 300 years, said Gale . • One of the 250 affected Brazilians received an experimental recombinant growth stimulating factor, granulocyte (GM-CSF). It -boosted bone marrow regeneration, and Gale's patient survived. He escaped infection and suffered no side effects from the innovative therapy. • This Christmas a Chemobyl victim sent Gale a family photo. The once pale, bald patient now sports a full head of hatr, looks robust , and has returned to a normal life. He signed the greeting, "Thanking Americans for their help." The human elements and statistical data of Gale's talk stunned more than one in the audience of 300.

Sample said, "there bas been an almost explosive growth in the interactions between the academy and industry , especially in the last decade. " In this respect , th e U. S. differs from ma ny other nationr, w.rhere research is often centered in ilatio nal research institu tes, not necessarily connected with a ny universi1y. " Sample described various economic develo pment agencies or programs U 8 has started or is planning. These include the Western New York Technology Development Center on Main Street. The agency has spawned 20 new companies. most of them still q uite small . The University's goal. he said. is to bring about 100 new companies by the year 2000 as a result of the Main Street cente r and a new high fechnology incubator set to open in June on land near the Amherst Campus.

HIDI is funded in part by the State as one of its nine centers of advanced technology. " In the case of HIDI , we get almost $3 million a year in private contracts to match the $1 million a year from the State. The interesting thing about HIDI is that it represents an avowed attempt by the State to bring abou t the closer marriage between academic research ce nters and private industry. That represe nts quite a reversal from past policies of the State government." ample also described the Cen ter for Indu strial Effec t iveness. a joint project with the Western New York Economic Development Corporation . "This is aimed at existing companies, particularly companies of lower technology ... which may fi nd themselves in shrinking markets or faced with increasi ngl y stiff competition. So far this center, with the help of the WNYEDC, can be fairly credited wi th saving several thousand JObs. " UB"s China Trade Ce nte r will also help the local economy, Sample maintained . " We operate very strong and extensive programs in the People's Republic of China. The School of Management said, let's see how we can ex ploit that relationship to benefit not only Western New York ind ustry, but also the State's industry in ge neral. "Through our programs in Beijing and Dalian. we can perhaps provide acce~s fo_r Am~rican ~om panies to key offictals tn Chma.

"The money is important to the economy. It creates both primary and secondary jobs . But I think this research money is even more important, because it attracts some of the best graduate students , researchers, and faculty members from a round the country to this area... He added: " In the area of ea nhquake engineering research, we're becoming t he world center. I thin k that over the years to 'come other countries will constantly be co ming to Buffalo, as they are now, to participate in th is research ce nter. Also, other companies from around the world wi ll want to have projects carried out here. We hope they eventually locate small research groups here. which might lead to spin-off industries of considerable employment." The Western New York Health Sciences Consortium, he said , "allows S us to achieve in our minds what geography has not dict ated already, wh ich is to thin k of that array of teaching hospitals and research hospitals with its attendant medical school, as though it were a medical center such as that in Cleveland , Pittsburgh. Indiana po lis, or Cincinnati." Sample a lso pointed to the State "s centers for superconductivity research and hazardous waste management , both located at UB; the Sidney B. Pfeifer Theatre ("an anchor piece in the theatre di strict'"), and the Fi ne A rts Center, sc heduled for complet io n in 1992. S ample said Buffalo has several points in its favor. These include the State's rich ness ("there is a lot of money in the public sector"); the waterfron t, skiing, housing ... a st rong cultu ~ raJ infrastruct ure," Niagara Falls. the prese nce of hydro-electric power. clean air, and proximity to Canada. The Canadiarf connection may be our biggest selling point, he insisted . "Canada and the U.S. have the biggest bilateral trading relationship that's ever existed between two nations. We're not the southern anchor but we have the poten tial to be." He co nt inued: " We have good transponatton and by far the best inner city school system compared with those of any other city in the United States. Also. most cities our size don't have a researc~ university. In addition, R oswell Park Memorial Institute has the potential for becoming the premier center for its field.

Like Csillag, Weibel comes to geography by way of the humanities. Originally he'd planned to study history and German literature. "It seems as if everyone in geography comes from some other field," · Wetbel observed . "They come from civil engineering, or from anywhere." That's because geo_Braphy is not taught in high schools, and people don' really know what it is, he said. Weibel grew up in Hallau, a small Swiss town near the Rhine Falls.

The presidential candidates are lined up fo r "Su per Tuesday, " an electoral extravaganza that promises much but could deliver little. Indeed, t he results of the 2G-state balloting are likely to be muddled, says Laurie Anne Rhodebeck , assistant pro, fessor of political science . . Super Tuesday, she explains, was mvented by southern legislators who wished to counter the influence of the early primaries. She elaborates: " The so uth felt that its infl uence in the electoral process had been declininj\ for some time, as the New Hampshtre primary and the Iowa caucuses became more promi nent in the media. Before this election year, the primaries in the south were spread out for something like a six-week period." Actuall y, the term "Super Tuesday" was used in the 1984 presiden tial election . " But it wasn't a super day in the sense tha t one regio n explicitly planned to have all its primaries held on the same day." il recently, says Rhodebeck , the U ntDemocrats viewed Super Tuesday as an opportunity to pick a frontrunner. "The Democrats stand a good chance to win in November, just because the country gets tired of having the same party in office. Still the Democratic Party is quite aware that one of its weaknesses is not being able to unite behind a candidate in a decisive way. So they have viewed Super Tuesday as a way of countering that. But it doesn't look as if this will happen." On Su~er Tuesday, there will be DemocratiC primaries or caucuses in 20 states. Republican contests will take place in 17 states. In all, there will be races in 14 southern or border states. The Democrats will also hold a caucus in American Samoa To be elected are 1.307 Democratic delegates and 7 12 Republican delegates. This is about onethird of the delegates for both parties. March 8th W ill there ..be a clear winner for either party? Rhodebeck hedges: " I think in pan it will depend on whether you look at the outcome as if it were a block of states voting, or whether you inte~ret the results on a state-by-state basiS. Th is is because some candidates have clear st rengths in a particular state. For example, J esse Jackson is very strong in Louisiana, and perhaps in Alabama. But Jackson won't be the top candidate if you consider all 20 states as a whole." Cross-ove r voting is a fac tor in less th an half the contests, Rhodebeck says. .. Most of the discussio n of cross-over voting focuses on how it might help Pat Robertson. There are a number of evangelicals and fundame ntalists in 1he sourh who a,.c Dcmocra1 s. ·· Even among evangelical Christians. howev-er, " Robertson certainly does not have the kinds of numbers that would carry him into victory ... Saturd ay's Republican primar y in South Carolina is likely to be ''a litmus test" for Robertson, who has put great importance on the outcome . " If Robertson wins. I don't think it's particularly detrimental to Bush. But if he loses, I think it 's probably pretty decisive for him. "Robertson himself has said this is where his support co mes from. If the suppon doesn't translate into votes. then I think the media would probably play this up as a v~ry big decisive loss. And coming so closely before Super Tuesday, I think it could probably hun him quite a bit. "' P erhaps the most inte resting th ing to watch on Super Tuesday, Rhodebeck continues, will be the battle Large US crowd enjoys 'Philharmonic _Night' B y all accounts, "UB Night at the Buffalo Philharmonic" on Feb. 20 was a rousing success. About 300 people attended a post-concert reception. Those present included some members of the orchestra and many UB faculty, staff, and students. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Dean Thomas F. George entertained at the piano. President and Mrs. Steven B. Sample received all the reception ~ests. Anastasia Johnson, assistant to the chairman of Sociology, was the inspirational fon:e behind the evening. She believes "a lot of people bought tickets who wouldn' have otherwise been there. This was a welcome fii'St effort. It makes the University visible as a supporter of cultural activities'. " She adds: "The idea was to show that tbe University supports tbe Philharmonic, that we can get people out to a concert. It was not to somehow. pour money into the orcbest.rL" cautiously." Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, Rhod ebeck says is, "j ust out of it. But I think he11 still get some little range of support from diehard loyalists. I don't know bow much energy he was able to put into garnering places on the ballot because he (reentered) the race quite late. I assume he missed some filing deadlines. And I don't know if be even had tbe organization to get him on the ballot where he was still able to do so. I suppose he has nothing to lose by not formally dropping out." The reception was paid for by the President's office. The office of Judy Zuckerman, director of conferences and special events, paid for the attractive promotional poster. Marilou T . Jarvis, associate vice president for University relations, called the evening "a wonderful opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to come together ofT campus. We hope it can be repeated ." Linda Schineller, director of market. ing and pu\>lic relations for the orchestra, termed the everung "a great success." She added : "The involvement of people at UB with our orchestra is something we would like to continue to develop. We have so much to offer each other." Concertgoers heard - a program of _ John Adams, Bela Bartok, and Sif Edward Elgar, conducted by David Zinman, music director of the Baltijllore Symphony Orchestra. 0 Laurie Anne Rhodebeck between Sen. Albert Gore and Rep. Richard Gephardt fo r support among southern Democrats. "Most consultants didn't anticipate Gepbardt's stre ngth. He 's from son of a bord er state, be's begun to adopt this son of populist line - if people don't see through it. So it co uld easily be that Gore's strategy (of bypassing New Hampshi re and Iowa) won't be as surefire as he originally thought. "Personally speaking, I have to say it's a little annoying that Gore so carefully defi ned himself ou t of the first two so-ealled major tests - major in the se nse .that they're important to the media, not in terms of voters. He wou ldn' have done well there even if he had put more resou rces into those states. But by saying that they wereh' important to the strategy, he prevente any kind of strong negat ive interpretations bei ng placed o n hi s low percentages."' Rhodebecr calls Sen. Paul Simon's withdrawal from Super Tuesday ••an interesting strategy." She comments: "He simply doesn' have the resources to do well, yet he's under strong pressure from the party faithful in Illinois to stay in. The Illinois primary is tbe week after. So I suppose that's -a wise strategy. It makes more sense than jumping out totally." As for Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, Rbodtbecl< doesn't think "be's going to do overwhelmingly well. I think tbere's , just going to be this solid middle-range of support. I think the real question is whether Gore or Gepbanlt will get the southern support. And Gore could be burt if he doesn' have an overwhelming victory in a number of areas. Gel!hanlt seems to be couching his predictions a little more A mong th e Republicans, ''Kemp ___ft would probably be the likely candidate to have to bow ou t (after Tuesday). Kemp doesn't have the financial resources, and he doesn' have a really st rong o rga niza ti ona l basis in the south. In some accounts that I've read , the media just forget to talk about him in the same way they're not tal king about (Pete) DuPont. " Vice President George Bush bas the ..enormous advantage... of a very strong organization in the south. " Of all the Republicans, Bush is by far the best organized. And he has this huge war chest of campaign finances to back him up. I think this would probably offset any disgruntlement southern voters might have"' over the Iran-contra affair. ln Rhodebeck's view, Sen. Robert Dole probably hasn' been hurt by his recent sni pe CTell him to stop lying about m y record') at Bush through Tom Bro kaw of NBC. " Before Dole's nas ty comment, the whole issue of Dole's mean streak and his snappishness had been kind of put aside. As soon as he made the remark , it brou~ht back all those ghosts from his past, hke his performances in the 1976 v1ce presidential debates. " It was too bad because Dole has self-co nsciously tried to t one down that ·meanness.' I think it's the ki nd of factor that will pop up on short notice. I don' think it's one the public or the media will focus on for any extended period of time." She adds: " I think Dole bas put together a respectable record in the Senate. He stands well in opinion polls among Democrats." A,-, for the Bush "wimp" factor, Rhodebeck says she hasn' "seen much of that lately." he adds: "Bush bas little public rouUlles that be does to try to dispel the notion that he's a wimp. And some of the things be does publicly are precisely the things that Dole gets criticized for. Rbodebeck's research centers on American politiGal science and media coverage, voters • perceptions of candidates, extremist political movements, and clcction law.

The photos give a glimpse of the Larlcin Company during its paternal-istic heyday. Writes Quinan: ~Pic­ nics, weekly concerts, educational incentives , and profit-sharing schemes were some of the benefits that made the Larkin Company, in the words of a former secretary, 'a class place to work in Buffalo . . . .

He also tallr.ed with Evelyn Heath Jacobsen of Buffalo, who is the daughter of William Heath, the office manager and later vice president of the Larkin Company. Mrs. Jacobsen had grown up in a bouse designed by WrighL She also remembered the famous architect's visits dwin& periods of his bitter personal problems. She worked in the Larkin Administration Building for about a year. Mrs. Jacobsen, said Quinao, was not big on Wright's personal style. Even so, she expressed wonder at the contoun of the buil~Witb its famous •kylit court. -sbe (Mn:. Jacobsen) never understood bow so many people could be working in the space. She is very articulate and was my best find." Other wttoesses recalled the quiet bum as some I ,SOO persons worked in the huge open space. Writes Quinao: "Floors, desk-tops, and cabinet-tops were covered with magnesite for sound absorption .... For the floors magnesite was mixed with excelsior and poured over a layer of felt to impart resiliency." Another former employee, Mary Burke, bad been a sea-etary at the company in 1916. "She tiJ,Iped me off to the company's Oll!:aruzational system." In 1903, the company was receiving S,OOO lettcn in six separate deliveries daily ineluding Saturdays. Mail was sorted into "state groups," a system the company had devised in the 1890s. 1be book's ftnal chapter centers on events leading to the 19SO demolition. The company had been losing money steadily since the 1920s and 1930s, when Buffalo began to decline as a Great Lakes port and railroad center. These were also hard times for mail-order catalog companies. In I 939, the Larkin Company, in order to avoid hankruntcv. formed new corooratioos and sold off properties to pay off its debts. In l94S, the City of Buffalo took over the building in a $104,616 tax foreclosure proceeding. This was followed bf a brief but spirited - campaJgn ,to save the building. 1be effort failed, and the building continued to decay. According to one newspaper account, "everything. removable has been stripped by vandals. Lighting fixtures, door knobs, -plumbing, and ·even part of the copper roof have been tom away systematically by thieves." Still, Qv.inan reports, there ~ offen to buy the building. But lheae ......, turned down beeauae the -.eel value of the property -llliiCb biaber than the amounts beiDa teQdered.. In a last-ditch effort, Council- man Joseph F. Dudzick proposed that the building be used in the city's program of civic improvements. He wrote: "1be Building could be altered to house a baskethall and tennis court, gymnasium equipment, and facilities for var- · ious other types of recreation.... " 1be resolution was defeated. Meanwhile the &iffGJO Evming Nno~s decried the pending demolition in an editorial entitled "A Sliame of Our•City." The paper recalled another sugestion that had failed. This would have converted the building into the "Buffalo Conservatory of Music." Because of the unusual nature of WrigbCs constructi011 , , uinan writes, the wrecking company of Morris & Reimann had to dismantle the building almost by hand. In l9SO, Wright was 83. According to Quinan, when the architect learned of the demolition, "he reportedly said that the building had ser.-ed its purpose and deserved a decent burial. He had long been aware of the unfortunate alterations to whicb bis building ' had been sub~.· In Quinan's view, Wright bad the last word. "He could take solace in the fact that bis building occupied a special 2,lace in that more enduring reaJJb he cbott to call 'the th~t of the world.'

Fo ur months later, the season is completed and Bazzani can give a sigh of relief, and perhaps even gloat a little, as he talks tp the same reponer who predicted his team would firush 7-20. That's because, even though they didn) set the world on fire, Bazzani's neve r-say-<!ie quintet finished the seaso n with a three-game winning streak and a 14-13 record . Add in the two ga mes the Bulls lost in ovenime and the three games they lost by less than six points and UB could easily have been 19-8. "I'm very proud of this team," said a relaxed Bazzani. "This ball club made sig nificant progress throughout the vear. · "I hated to see the season end." the beginning of the year, A Bazzani hated to see the season stan. 1 " 1 can still remember the Buffalo State coach (Dick: Bihr) telling me what a suicide schedule we had ," recalled Bazzani. "We played two tournaments away and had to play in one of the toughest (Division 11) conferences in the nation." As it turned out, UB finished ~ in the Mideast Conference, which would have been good enough for founh if UB's conference games had counted in the standings. "If we were in the conference playoffs right now, I'd love to take my chances W>th this team," said Bazzani. "With the way we're playing, 1 think: we woul d cause any team some anxious moments. 4 " I can still remember what the Philadelp hia Textile athletic director said to me when we played them down there," he co ntinued. "He asked me if we were ~ligible for the conference playoffs and when 1 said 'no,' he said, 'Thank: God.'" A little over li month ago, after a Bulls ' loss to little University of Pinsburgh-Bradford, that same AD may have said "Thank you" if his team had been scheduled to play UB in any tournament. "That game and the loss (92-58) to Dowling (College) were the low points of the season,M said Baz.zani. ""But this team never quit." Instead of packing it in after the PinBradford game, the Bulls won six of their last ten to finish over .500. azzani said he thought the reason B his team was able to pull itself up by its boot straps was the addition of fres hman Rick: Coleman for the second semester. "When Coleman became eligible, it changed the make-up of the team," said Bazzani. "We played better defense and that gave us the ability to run a little bit more. "Coleman had to guard the best offensive player on almost every team and lie did a gieat job on them." Coleman's stellar defense, coupled with a more subtle change by Bazzani :- to a more simplified offense featurIng a three-guard look - allowed U B to get .more production from its role players. " It (the simplified offense) ena~l~ .us to get some guys to contribute from off bench who weren't con tri buting before," noted Bazz.ani. The Bulls' mentor singled ou t Ed Jones, 5.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, as an example of a role player who gave the team a lift when it needed one. Role players aside, however, there's no doubt who carried the bulk of the team's offense and defense all year: Darryl Hall, a junior college transfer. In order to grasp just bow big an impact Hall ( 16. 3 pts., 9.3 rebs., and 54 blocks) bad on UB's program, imagine the Boston Celtics minus Larry Bird or the Los Angeles Lakers without Magic Johnson. He meant that much. For example, in the Bulls' 27 games, Hall led the team in either rebounding or scoring 23 times . He led the team in both categories on six occasions. He accounted for over 25 per cent of UB's point total and beller than 20 per cent of the team's total rebounds. " Hall did an awful lot for us," Bazzani said as a smile crept across his face. "He made tremendous progress over the course of the year." Another player who ended up having a solid year, after a shaky stan, was sophomore co-<:aptain Bill Smith (9.6 pts. 'and 6.2 rebs.). . "Billy got beller offens1ve_!Y- as the year went along," said Bazzani. "He spent so much time rehabilitating his knee in the off-season that I think: be forgot to practice shooting," Coleman chipped in with 10.7 pts. and 5.4 rebs:, Brace Lowe added 12.8 pts. and 3.5 . rebs., and ~a-captain Michael Wasbmgton, <who d1d a httle bit of everything, contributed 11 piS., 7.3 assists, 4.3 rebs., and three steals per game. Bazzani had special praise for Mike Cross, a seldom-used guard. "Cross is a player that you wouldn) think: of as improving because he didn) play much," said Bazzani. "But, I remember Ed Jones saying to me one day in practice that if we had to give a most improved player award , Mike should get it. He's right. "If desire bas anything to do with it, he_1! ~..b.~.c_k. n<>'\! . Y.ear, ~ , ... . , ... , the !though Bazzani said this team bas A probably improved in one more seaso n than any other team he has coached at UB, there still were some disappointing aspects to the year. Without naming names, Bazzani said he thought there were a couple of players who "never really worked hard enough to implove." And then, of course, there's the record - over .500, but far from perfect. Bazzani is the first to admit that, while he's happy overall, improvements can be made. "I'm never happy going 14-13," he said. "We had some trouble with teams that slowed the ball down and we were "We can become the basketball program in the Buffalo area in the next few years .... " get (grants·in) aid."' he sa.id_ ...Th ey must attend s rudy table three times a week. maintain a 2.0 average, and go to classes. They aren' allowed more than two cuts. After that, I've let the professo rs and the players know, tbere11 be no aid ." ssuming that academics don't turn A out to be a problem, Bazzani is highly optimistic about the Bulls' chances next year. "I wouldn). be surprised if we were picked to win it (the Mideast Conference title) next year," he said confidentl y. "I really like our chances if we get a couple of impact players and our nucleus back. "I think we1l have some very good news on recruits this year," he added. Looking even funber down the road, Bazzani sees some big things in store for UB basketball. "We're right on track now," he said. "We've proven we can play at this level." Bazzani added that he thinks U B will grow as a basketball powerhouse in Western New York:. "I think: we will be the basketball program in the Buffalo area in the next few years," he said. "I was just in Pittsburgh las~k:end recruating, and I had an o1d friend of mine, who's a coach at a top 20 Division I school now, come up to me and say that be thought we would be the team 1:n the area because of our facilities" and the fact that Niagara's and Canisius' programs have gone down a bit. Whether that occurs or not remains to be seen. UB must lake things one step at a time. The biggest step right now will be a continued improvement in the program, which could be difficult because of the funher upgrade tn scheduling planned for next year. Gone will be the so-called "gimme" games against the likes of Daemen College. All that will be on UB's schedule ' are Division II teams, and possibly arch-rival Buffalo State. Baizani ·even hinted at an early season game against a noted Division I school in the not-too-<listant future. Whatever happens, rest assured that a poor shooting team, but, under the circumstances, I'm pleased." But, not pleased enough that changes won) be made next year. "We're looking to bring in. five or six players," said Bazzani. "We need a center who can rebound and is a physical force in the middle. We need a consistent three-point shooter, and we need a back: up point-guard for Michael." Bazzani said he also needs to get back: the nucleus from this year's team. The Bulls are due to lose only two players and none of their stances. But, as has been the case in the past, it may not be what the players • do on the court but what they do in the classroom that determines whether or not they will return. In years 1.1ast: Bauani has had a tough time k:eepmg his teams together because they fail to keep up in . school. This year will be different, though, promised a determined Bazzani.

This computer picks up on si mple and also subtle linguistic cues to determine the basics of the texl wtiere and when events are occurring, to whom they are happening, and from whose perspective the s1ory is being told . Impossible? At any rate, it sounds like a fascinating and sophisucated piece of equipment. That "machine~ already exists. The computer described is the human mind, as il is sludied by members of uB·s Graduate Group in Cognitive Science. Cognitive science is "an app roach to studyi ng the nature of intelligence minds, thinking, cognition in general ,ft said William Rapaport, who C<H!irects the group with Gail Bruder of the Psychology Department. · "Some would add thal the science takes a particular view of the nature of the mind - that it works like a computer," he added . Since language is somehow a " window into the mind," all disciplines involved with language or the mind have a stake in cognitive science. These include such diverse fields as computer science, linguistics , communicative d isorders, psychology, philosophy, English, and geography, saJd Rapaport, a member of the UB Departmenl of Computer Science. Individual researchers need to look into the resean:b of others, thereby taking a unified · approach, lo n:ally determine what's occurring in the mi.nd, be remarked. The group sponsors an annual colloquium· senes, offers an annual team-taught graduate course, "Introduction to Cognitive Science," maintains a library for the use of group members, and supports several graduate assistants. The group also hopes to help support the June annual meeting of lhe Association foil Computational Linguistics · here.

I thought they'd work me until I dropped. They didn) do that, either. Actually, the fitness assessment was interesting, and even kind of fun. I .. We're not advocating running marathons when we talk about health-related fitness ," said Baker . .. That's a big misconception. You say fitness, and everybody thinks of athletics." Many people worry about the second portion of the evaluation - measurements of blood pressure, height. weight , and the dreaded skinfolds. No problem. Baker and his staff of three T he evaluation is divided into th ree parts. Fim, Jack Baker, director of the program, asked me questions about my health and life-style. "Have you ever been told you have high blood pressure?" "Do you smoke?" "How often do you eat red meat?" "How much stress are you under on a daily basis?" "How much exercise do you get?" He also had me sign a consent forrn . I \\'as given time to read the forrn, and Baker explained it. Throughout the evaluation, Baker was patient, and answered all my questions. He even joked. "Do you get much exercise? I know, you push the elevator buttons every chance you get," he quipped . I was interested that Baker considered an activity like walking my dog to be significant physical activity. Jack Baker measures skin- fold on Tony Chase's arm. interns never made me feel awkward, or as if I were a laboratory animal. The women left the room while Baker measured skinfolds on my arms, back, and stomach, to determine percentage of body fat. . The staff was panicularly ·encouraging durmg the last pan of the evaluation. t this point, I was required to cycle for • nine minutes while the staff recorded heart rate and blood pressure at regular intervals. The resistance was increased depending on these readings. Although the exercise was strenuous, I was not taxed to the limit. Baker called it "submaximal"' exercise. . Finally, I was tested for nexibility with the Sit-and-reach test. Sitting on the noor with my feet nush against a small step, I stretched my arms out toward my feet as given three tnes - only the best of the three counted. After the evaluation was over, Baker discussed the results with me. Had the assessment revealed an unknown medical problem I would have been referred to the medical director, and then to my family phyS1c1an. . As I anticipated, Baker told me I would benefit from "to use the jargon~" as Baker would sa~, an aerobic program of walking and then JOggmg. I was fine in areas of body fat, nexibility, , and at-rest heart function. However as is characteristic. of a sedentary person: I would benefit from mcreased exercise. I. left the evaluation with a better understanding of physical fitness and with a more positive attituiie toward ex~rcise. The Health-Related Fitness Initiative is open to all faculty and staff.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Bernadette Braun. 21, of Richmond· ville, N.Y., was pronounced dead on arrival at Erie County Medical Center. Braun had attended UB for three and a half yea rs before transferring to D'Youville College at the beginning of the semester to pursue her bachelor's . . . and master's degrees in physical therapy. She had planned to graduate in 1991. Norma Shatz, librarian at the University Learning Center, remembers Braun, who worked for her as a student assistant a few years ago. "She was a ve.ry capable and competent person," Shatz recalled. "She was not a frivolous person. This was a gal who had worked hard, and who took her studies seriously. We enjoyed her ~e'::foaJ{. o?:Jr .•much.

She was listed in serious condition when admit- led to ECMC on Saturday. By Monday her condition had been upgraded to fair. Langer plans to graduale in May. 1989. A third housemate, Joan Strancey, was not injured . Apparently the women walked into the path of an oncoming car, reponed Lt. Dubiel of the Buffalo Police Department Accident Investigation Bureau. he driver, Michael Smith, 19, of T 327 Westmoreland Road in Amherst, was charged with three minor traffic "T. violations: failure to wear a seat belt, a corrective lens violation, and a license violation. Dubiel was not immediately able to determine the precise nature of the license v.iolation because of an apparent typographical error on the report . However, he suggested that Smith might not have been able to produce his license at the scene. Smith was tested for blood alcohol content, but no charges were filed on that count. Dubiel stated that no further charges would be leveled against the driver, unless the district attorney decides that an investigation is warranted . Information would then be passed on to a grand jury. Such a scenario is unlikely, he said. In December 1986 a similar accident left a UB studeqt with permanent brain injury. That accident also happened on a rainy night when the student tried to beat the traffic, that time in front of the University Plaza. S uch tragedies prompt discussion on campus. Among students, stories of near misses and minor bumps while crossing traffic on Main Street and Bailey Avenue abound. "Just this fall I saw a girl get hil by a car outside Third Base," reported a senior humanities major. "She just went nying - we thought she was killed. That's a bad area if it's snowy or rainy - and all the drivers are speeding up to try to beat lights." " People just wander into the stree1 as if traffic doesn't exist," another senior Mated ... It's as if there were a direct pipeline between the parking lot at Ponderosa, and the beer at Mickey Rats." (Police had no evidence that the women involved in Saturd ay's accident had been drinking.) "I know I've taken some preuy stupid chances," admitted another student. "People are generally impatient, I think. They hate waiting. The traffic lights aren't well synchronized, so sometimes people just race across with cars coming in both directions." Some students, following the safety in numbers theory, report that they are more likely to take a risk while in a group . ... don't know, sometimes it seems like fun (racing across the street with friends) - you don' even think about the danger," said one student. " I know "A person hit by a car could be killed even if the car is traveling at less than 10 miles per hour . . . . You just don 't think it can happen to you.

"I've also seen people get halfway across and then stand waiting on the double yellow line in the middle of the street." Given the road design and heavy traffic around the campus, neither of these would seem to be a wise practice . "(Drivers) race up Main Street and pass on the left or on the shoulder in order to be first at the ri~ht band turn onto the Bailey access road. They go so ans there is primary impact in which injuries like broken limbs ordinarily occur.

He expects to have a very intensive and full agenda with little unstructured time, ,but he does expect to be able to make side trips for such musHio sites as the Great Wall. T inhe addition medical exchange agreement is to the present systemic agreement that UB has with the Beijing Municipal System .of Higher Educall?n, noted Joseph F. Williams, director of international educatipn S!'rvioes at UB. About 100 ,students and faculty have traveled between the two countries over the )last seven years, studying such diverse fields as qmsic, education, engineering, physiology, social scienoes, and history. -us is the only university in the U.S. to have an agreement with the entire Beijing Municipal System of Higher Education (which is somewbat analogous to the City University of New York), Williams noted. Other U.S. universities have exchange agreements with only one coUege in the system. . Ne11otiations for the medical agree- ment started tbree or four years ago when the late Lee Guang-Bi, who was then president of the Capital Institute of Medicine of Beijing, visited BuffalO", Ostrow said . The following year, Naughton visited Beijing. In 1987, Ostrow traveled to Beijing with a Buffalo contingent. Its members were Edward Wenzlce, executive vice president of Millard Fj)lmore Hospital (MFH); Bernard Slcerlcer, secretary ol the · board of MFH; John Nasca, ch!innan of Vitalliance Corporation; tlfe parent of MFH; Tom Feldman, government relations officer at M{'H, and Louis Lazar, clinical associate p'Nb fessor of family medicine at UB. 0 �February 25, 1988 Volume 19, No. 1B Remember the "It g~r l'?

In Ethiopia , for example, a !lr~at percen!age of the nation 's 14 mtllton people ts faced wtth the threat of starvatton. Federal governments , the United Nations and other orgamzauons make some atiempt to relieve these situations, but can only temporarily alleviate the problem. At the same ume, there are press reports of grain rotting in warehouses and crops being plowed under to create artifictal shortages in wealthy nations. ' The problem, as UB student Mike Ondruselr. sees it, is not . with the quantity of foodstuffs available throughout the world, b!Jt in the way governments and private food suppliers distribute the food . · Ondrusek was discussing "Why Half the World Goes Hungry" at a recent meeting of UB's chapter of the lnterna- tiona! Socialist Organization. His message? People in Third World nations are not starving because there isn't enough food to go, around . Th ey are starving because they are poor. That is, they can\ afford to purchase food supplies in the profit-onented capttahst world marlr.et, Ondruselr. claimed. Because of that profit orientation, food s upplies are wasted in storage as suppliers hold onto their spcpluses in hopes of higher prices. " You don't go giving things away" in a capitalist system, Ondruselr. aid. he solution to tbe world 's hunger problem lies with the citizens - not the governments - of wealthy nations, he professed. "Notlring comes out of charity unless it comes from you and me," he claimed, citing the success of private fund-raisen; such as Live Aid and Farm Aid in the United States. These efforts, be said , " prove" that individuals aren\ greedy. T Yet a discouraging outcome of those events was that most of the money did not go toward feeding the world's hungry , Ondrusek said. Instead. much of the mo ne y was taken by banks to whom needy nations are indebted. Why are these nations so ind ebted1. The eco n?mies of man y o( these stncken. nations w~re originally based on subsastence farmmg, Ondrusek said. economies changed over B lime.theseFarmers turned from the ~t (lroduction of foods tuffs to the production of cash crops for expo rt. With the money from crops, these nations began to tm(lOrt food while developing an tndustnal economy, he explained . When the world market went into a slu'."p, so dtd the economies of these nattons. As export revenues dropped. so did production, and as plants closed' workers were laid off. ' 'These nation s _no longer could afford to purchase' necessary imports of food and equipment. As a result , they were forced to borrow money, hoping that their economies could someho" be regenerated, Ondrusek theorized . . But t h at r~ eration ha sn t happened. · . Instead, severe droughts in cenam geographical regions, compounded by cont inui ng difficulties in the world economic marlr.et have led to the cur- rent famine in th~ areas, he said. These countries are unable to help themselves because they can\ afford to. said Ondruselr.. Moreover, he satd , wealthy nations and other major food supplien; are unwilling to provtde the help that's needed. The fault lies not so much with these governments as it does with the syste m of capitalism itself, Ond~k professed . In biJ view, any long-term solution to the problem lies ,in a major sh tft toward worldwide socialism. Ondruselr. and his organization don \ see that scenario happening soon. In tile meantime, tbey're convinced that the answer lies with individual generosity in the form · of more grassroots programs such as Live Aid. 0 �February 25, 1988 Volume 19, No. 18 Dick Gregory The one thing he's not, is dull By FRANK BAKER D ick Gregory is a leader who's eloquent, outspoken , and intelligent.

Gregory spoke for over two hours on everything from Jimmy Swaggan to g ~;?h~~~~ro",;~oi;~~;'~~t~u~oa~y~~~~~~ ~ ter, and cheers. Gregory hit the stage smoki ng. After first thanking everyone who made it possible for him to speak here, Gregory launched int<Wl tirade against the CIA, who, he says, is the reason Jimmy Swaggan fell from grace. "I knew Jimmy Swaggan was in trouble a long time before any of yo u did," said Gregory as be clutched a copy of one of last week's issues of the Atlanta Constitution. "Right here on the front page is a story about good old Jimmy. "You know what it says?" he asked. .. It says here that Jimmy Swaggart said 'God bless Daniel Onega.' " Swaggan wasn' brought down by his sexual liaison with a prostitute, said Gregory; it was because of his connections with Nicaragua. Gregory then moved right into an auack against the media. "The press in this country is not a free one," be said. "Who owns NBC? General Electric does. Who's the number one defense supplier to the U.S. government? GE is. "The media is owned by those in P.OWer," insisted Gregory. "Money is n' Power, information is. You've got to use yo ur God-given intelligence to figure out what goes down. Don' he fooled so easily." fter that tirade, Gregory spoke about the dangers of the C IA . "When they (CIA) can take him (fo rmer CIA head William Casey) out of his car and cut his head open to get the secrets out about Contra-aid , none of us is safe," said Gregory. "Casey died the day the Contra-aid debate staned. · "Doesn' that bother you?'' he asked. "You've got to stan listening," he continued. ''There are two governments here. The one you know about. and the one not too many folks know about. "Did you know that four weeks ago the CIA admitted that the Russians knew they had made a mistake when they shot down (Korean Airliner) 007? "Did you know Dick Nixon was on that plane when it took off from Kennedy Airpon and that they (CIA) got him off in Anchorage? "They didn't take Congressman McDonald off the plane because they wanted to kill him." Gregory added that with a name like 007, how could the plane be safe? Once he finished with the C IA , Gregory took issue with the U.S. inva- A ~ 0 2 < sion of Grenada. "We invaded an island that doesn' even have Girl Scouts," said Gregory. "And it still took us two weeks of fighting to get it. "Did you know that we bombed a mental institution and killed 117 people? We were doing the same type of mind testing there as the Nazis did." insisted Gregory. Next on the Gregory hit list was the United States' system of higher education. ..This is a white racist institution, .. Gregory told the predominantly black audience. "As long as you black folks sit here in this institution, something's wrong. ..The highest suicide rate in the country is among blacks who were educated at white institutions," said Gregory. "Doesn' that bother you?" he asked. T hen, he got back to his lambasting of American society from Jimmy "the Greek" Snyder to AIDS, frequently interspersing his own humorous experiences with the sobering statistics and facts he quoted. • For instance, Gregory on AIDS: "Aids is nothing but CIA germ war- fare ..

This is another in a series of debafes-in-print on the controversial issue of the ethics of Bllima/ experimentation, prepared by Philosophy undergrad Gary Ketcham and Dr. BOfl'!i Albini, professor of Microbiology. These~· as was the case m the init1at exchange between the two, are reasoned, delibef4te arguments of opposing vievtlpciints lhal move away from the shrill and the confrontational. Ethical aspects of "animal research ... and involvement of animals in teaching of biology, medicine, and psychology caught the attention of t!te general public me years ago: many of the issues and solutions proposed _ however, remain controversial and are far from being settled. Unknown areas of yet unexplored continen~s on old maps used to be covered w1th represe ntations of fabulous beings; thus it is not surprising that in the current discussion on our topic, monsters lurking menacingly behind the thick foliage of a jungle of emotions and vested interests roam through th e picture. Introduced by Dr. R ichard Hull. Mr. Gary Ketcham and I had ven tured last May into this sometimes frig htful landscape . It seems to me that education is the increasing recogn ition of our ignorance. Such a conclusion must be frustrating to those who always know what the right decision to make is - possibly even without knowing about what they are making the decision . With my weak and limited abilities to understand and to convince myself that I am in possession of absolute truths, I am happy when able to formulate meaningful questi ons and to pursue answers laboriously. possibly not as concerned for expediency as for honesty. This is why I feel encouraged to continue this joint exploration. In his essay published in May 1987. in the Reponer, Mr. Ketcham pomts out that we indeed know that a dog can experience pain and that we should not be bothered by our lack of understanding of how pain and suffering in animals compares to those in humans. He points out that our experience suggests that a dog yelping after being. hit has pain as we do, and that the leg1t1· mate and overruling response is that of compassion an~ prever:tion o.f this pain. Compasston obvtausly ts a noble and essentially human experience. However, I see some problems with letting compassion, as an emotiOn, rule supreme. Experience and observation have to be scrutinized using our reason; as known to everybody, experience can easily deceive us. A monkey can tum the pages of a book; he may seem to . read just like us. But we know that h1s use of the book is different from that of a literate human. This conclusion in which reason plays some role does not exclude analogies between human and monkey intelligence; but the reasoned conclusion based on the experience seems more reliable than the experience by itself. It seems obvious that it is advisable to know more about a d og's pain before making conclusions and decisions depend!n~ Qn such conclusi~f!S· When comm~tung ourselves to mmtmizc pain in sentient beings, we should better know as much as possible about pain and about sentience. Taking shortcuts may lead to the achievement of the opposite of our first tntenuon. A glaring example of a well-meant but unsuccessful attempt to affirm animal rights was the passmg of pound laws prohibiting the use of uncllum~ stray animals for research. Whereas m the past, several thousand. dogs - ou.t of 15 million "termmated each year m pounds - had been used in research, after passing of restnct1ve pound laws, several thousand dogs are bred every year specially for use in research.--: to perish in addition to the 15 mllhon collected in pounds. The net result thus is an increase of animals .. tenninated"' each year obtained in exchange for the purely e~otional satisfaction that "my" pet can never end up to research. hat is it that usually raises compassion? It seems that the emotions and thoughts that feed into compassion crystallize around three concepts: death , pain, and suffering. Pain usuall y is defined as a sensation that ph ysiologically alerts the organism of harm done and danger approaching: pain makes us retract the hand from hot water. By itself, it has positive val ue for survival but seems neutral in the context of ethics; and obviously it does provide a basis for much torture W "Few would suggest permitting a b'a by to die of pneumonia to prevent the mass murder ot millions of pneumococ ci.... " and distress. The latter, however, more properly belongs to suffering. Suffering can be described as anticipation and reflection of pain and death. It is char· acteriz.ed by anxiety, alarm, terror , insecurity, paralysis. On the other hand, suffering - but never causing suffering - has been viewed as possibly a benefit. Sometimes a cathartic effect is attributed to suffering. We may perceive the biblical story of Job to express such or similar notions, as do many of the initiation rites studied by anthropology. Very much simplified, pain may be considered as a reflex mechanism made conscious, and suffering as the inttgrated conscious experience of pain. Death, as the unavoidable companion of life (at least in the biological sense of life), is familiar to us all. Still, recent debates on death in relation to organ transplantation have underlined the problems inherent in its definition. It seems quite acceptable to consider death occuring without pain or suffering in the dyin!l: for e>;ample, death under anesthesia. Death obviously always means the termination of "biological" life, and inflicting death , the shortening of the life span. "Nature" seems to depe nd more or less on elaborateTood chains, on the predator-prey relationship, on life being destroyed for life's sake. Diminishing pain and suffering and prolonging life seem generally accepted as goals for ethical human conduct. Understanding "life" as subsuming all living forms immediately shows the problems in acceptin!l this statement as an absolute prescriptiOn. Even vegetar· ians depend on living organisms to feed upon; and we will have confrontational and competitive relationships with animals. A child may be attacked a nd mutilated b~og; rats infest houses and cities and transmit diseases poten· tially fatal to whole populations; and microbes infect human beings and k•ll them. Few would suggest permitting a baby to die of pneumonia to prevent the mass-murder of millions of pneumococci. Thus, again, we need some acceptable modus of grading life forms as to their .rights fo r exemption from pain, suffering, and death; and we can subscribe to the first sentence of this paragraph as the ideal for which we strive even though we know that we will never be able to RIIICh it "in his life." The Ethics of Ani �February 25, 1988 Volume 19, No. 18 The opinions expressed m " Vrewpomts " pieCeS are those of the wnters and not necessarily those of the Reporter We welcome your comments of reason which has lost its frame of reference. In its autonomous vacu um it sifts and sons through the imperatives of compassion, selecting those th ings that compon comfortably with its own par?Chial designs. When compassion is stramed through the rationalistic sieve -ALBERT EINSTEIN Dr. Albini has asked : if compassion is not an emotion and is not an aspect of reason, what is it? In answer to this question I shall refer to a statement made by Supreme Coun Jus~~~~~~~IM tice Potter Stewan when he was con· I task of CSlaDIISnmg pornography. In case of v. Ohio his response was: "I can' tell you what it is, but I know it when I see it, and .t his is not it." Poets, pundits. possible to accept the death l oft .seems an animal that is associated with no or minimal pain, reasoning from- the ~natural" way of life of animals. If mdeed we primarily attempt to free ammals from ... unnaturaln intrusions in to their lives by humans, then we have to consider that animals in the wild usually have rather shon and usually violently terminated lives, and that many animals violently terminate other life. Thus, the intrusion of man into animals' lives in the framework of the use of animals in science does not seem appreciably to diminish animal life; on balance, it seems likely that the majorIty of animals used in science expenence less pain or suffering than ani!"als in tbe wild; it would indeed be of mterest to determine the average life spans of wild animals and of those used in research. The question of sentience in animals, or of the vari9us forms and degrees of sentience in various animal species, • See Pro, Page 13 . . and phtlosophers have, at bes1, managed only a hazy silhouette in trying to lay bare the nature of compassion. Although it is linguistically unapproachable and indeterminate, in the field of human experience it is neither of these. It is linguisticaJJy inaccessible precisely because it is not an aspect of reason. 11. is not an emotion precisely because it is not reasoned or self-centric. I believe Dr. Albini would agree with this statemen" that with the vast amount of scientific knowledge we have, it is quite often not capable of telling us what a "thing" is, but only how it behaves. Thus the predicament is not only a familiar one, but it is a functionally valid one as well. Let us see how it behaves. The question before us now is whether compas· sion should compon with tho dictates of rationality, or whether rationality should conform to the imperatives of compassion. when the two offer connicting accounts of how we should proceed. One "animal rights" position is that reason must be anchored in compassion, and further, that compassion is the steward of rationality when all is in situ (in its proper place). This is necessarily so because it is the only reliable, fixed reference point there is, just as navigation relies on the fixed reference point of a star. With this understanding, compassion establishes the parameters within which rationality is fJ;CC to operate. Animal experimentation tr3l!Sgresses these parameters because our understanding of compassion's preeminence is invened. This results in the truancy - ammal experimentation is a horrendous luted, highly inflected caricature of the pristine original. This we call ethics or morality. It represents compassion in its compromised, modified form . Remnants of the original. We have a copious menu of ethical/ moral schemes that represent the variegated degrees of compromise that compassion has been subjected to. The Nazi regime is an example of an utterly complete, total subordination of compassion to rationality, with no compromise whatsoever. The current U.S. mallei is what could be called a "selec- but necessary practice. It requires an anagogic cognizance. These are purloined benefits. Compassion does not lend itself to the ranking scheme of hierarchies of signification. It is all em bracing. Hungry children are hungry children wherever they may be, whosever they may be. Pain is pain regardless of who lS experiencing it. It does not cease to be pain just because it is someone •lse's. This is the equanimity of compassion. But we imp ugn the legitimacy of compass.1on by m1sc~ara~terizing it as an emotion, by labehng 11 as spurious, by suppressmg 11 as mferior, by a flimnam JUXtaposing of its preeminence, by mductmg II and subord inating•it to the tive acquiescence" ethical system in which compass ion's preeminence is ~omply in this manner, we are left with a di- A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in lime and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a t.Jnd of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. can be achieved by repugnant means. We would do well to remember this the next time we find ourselves saying that acknowledged on a "pick-and-<:hoose" basis. achiavelli is credited with popularM izing the idea that the end may justify the means if the end entails a significant benefit. We shall call this the "means doctrine." Hit le r took it all the way, no holds barred . We have chosen the .. selective" route. Compassion serves a sextant function . It gives us our bearings. It is anamorphic. The "sad eyes" of humans and animals which Dr. Albini refers to are apprehended through compassion (not as pity, but .as love). But for animals it is nuionaHstically suppressed pursuant to the .. means doctrine" and ..selective acquiescence ... The selectivity becomes species distinction. I have said that when we ask the question: ... Why is human experimentation proscribed?," the answer we get is: "Because of the pain and suffering it would entail." Obviously, if no 'f>ain or suffering were involved, we wouldn' have a problem. This dismantles the species distinction categorY as irrelevant, and puts animals in the same sphere of protection and concern as humans. since they. too, experience //Pain is pain regardless of who is experiencing it.

The 1dea that reason 1s 1ts own regulator is a bit like the notion of the fox guardmg the hen house. It is an invitation to self-predication. The eye ball cannot see itself, and the tongue cannot detect what the ears were meant to hear. It is compassion that tells us that animal experimentation is something NOT to do. D r. Albini refers to two competing principles: a) animal rights, and b) human rights. neither of which, he says, can be absolute. Wbile this may express h1s personal v1ew, 11 does not describe the practices that are employed now. The human right to autonomy is consid- ered absolute. Academic research does not exist in isolation. The context of its genesis is a social environment that harvests anim als as a commodity for mere convenience. Society consumes cosmetics, fmgernail polish, white-out, fur coats, leather jackets, down-filled clothes, and ponerhouse steaks. There is a litany of other products and practices whtch are all predicated on the assu mption that animals are an expend- ab~ commodity for even the most trivial reasons . Where is the compelling social i~perative here? We are not even oper- ating on the concept that the ends must justify the means which, itself, is already an eviscerated moral compromise. The ends need not be a t all meritorious in order to justify this carnage, accordmg to society's prevailing values. This is the social context within which academic research is conducted. It would be ludicrous to suggest that this impoverished set of social values does not infest the academic research institution. To the contrary. these institutions are considered the melt ing-pot for these social values. Consider several academic examples• : pai tl"'a nd suffering.

It is the execution of the argumen t for animal experimentation that compas- sion proscribes, and 9uite frankly, the reasoning must be gnevously contoned in ord~r to tender such a disfigured argument. .

By CLARE O'SHEA on't Move or 1"11 Blow You Away." Two women held at gunpoint. a couple of dark P aintings abo ut game shows or about a Star Trek conve nti on are easier to take than much of Coe's work. Because Coe doesn) spoon-feed reality to us: she wants us to confront it and act. "(She) is one of the few anists who gen uinely believe in the possibility of creating an an that speaks to the figures looming over them , and those words in giant red letters splattered across th e canvas. Anist Sue Coe isn) into prelly pict ures. Then . il's hard to paint a preuy picture of the time yo u were mu gged at gu npoi nt at 3 a.m. in your own apartment. A "social-protest" anist, Coe has ·worked as an illustrator fo r the Ne»· York Times. exhibited in the Museum of Modern An. and contributed to numerous publications incl uding the Times of Lo ndon, Mother Jones, and Discover. She ta lked about her work du ring a recent visit to Be thune Gallery. "S ue Coe draws us into her work to look at those th ings from which we would rather turn away," writes critic Mari lyn A. Zeitlin. "(She) reminds us that we condone when we look away." "The Mugging" drawing was created the day after it happened . After the muggers were caught. After Coe and her roommate and the muggers were transponed t o the hospital in the same amb ul ance. And after she returned to lind the apanmen t completely cleaned out - except for her anwork - by "neighbors with a che mical addiction." London-born Coe has based other works on personal experience. Like the time she and her sister took their mo ther on a "mystery holiday" to Berlin and walked right into an antiReagan demonstration in hon or of the President's visit. 'We got out on the street and there's a billion pOlice. and regular German people with gas masks on. an d we're just looki ng for an ethnic German restau rant and we get tear gassed." says Coe. "And I'm just looking for the restaurant and this guy drags me away ·and my mum comes charging after him, shouting 'we're here to spend tourist d ollars.' And she says to me, 'This serves you right for dressing like an international terrorist.· That was our mystery holiday, the holiday of our dreams." B ut Coe's work reaches far beyond the limits of her own experience. Although she doesn't like to be labeled a political anist, she rather likes the term "propaganda" since she wants her work to "propagate" ideas. The subjects of her paintings, drawings , and mi xed media collages are ofte n inescapably " political," however. They include M alcol m X, Steve Biko, President "Raygun," Margaret Thatcher, and Chilean d ictator Augusto Pinochet. Politicians are turned into smiling cartoon heads on spider legs, skeletons, or mo nstrous socially oppressed and outcast, the dis. enfranchised , and miserable," writes critic Donald Kuspit. "Coe wants to · create a confrontational, revolutionary an. She is the greatest livi ng practitioner of such an art. " .. Although Coe has had her work sh.own in galleries and museums, she prefers the wider audiences of the popular press. Not su rprisingly, her an is sometimes too controversial for mai nstream publisher.s. Time magazine, for example, once asked her to do a cover illustration. " They wanted me to do something o n AIDS that didn' show what it is and that wasn't too negative," she notes. "I couldn) think of anything. So I did a yo ung man with a needle lyi ng in the gutter on the steps of Congress. They didn ) use it." ~ ~ ~ .,., o ~ bats. She paints an all-female demonstration at Greenham Common, a U.S . cruise missile installation in England . " When the demonstration staned, we were called strident," Coe recounts. " As the months went on, we were strident lesbians, then screaming strident lesbian communists." She instructs us on the procedure to follow in a nuclear war: "Wet a tablecloth afld put it on a table; ~et batteries, toilet paper, and children s toys; get under the table and wait until the fallout sire n goes off. Then come o ut. " And forces us to look at what d isturbs or offends. Like homeless women huddled in the bathroom at Penn Station, the rape of a woman by six men while 20 look on , and the plight of laboratory animals. C oe moved to New York in 1972 at the age of 21; she immediately got a job as an illustrator for the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. She also hung a ro und Times Square a lot, "where you either join the army or get picked up to be an a udience for a game show.h · A se ries on American game shows like "Beat th e Clock" and "$1 0,000 Pyramid " were amo ng her first works in t his country. "You have to be called Tom, R ita, or Walt , or you have to be a fiance, or from East Rutherford , New Jersey," notes Coe ... There are these women on the sho ws who are obvio usly very advanc~d in a feminist sense very advanced Marxists - but they have to =ouflage it. It's very deceiving. " You grab as many dollar.s as you T here's no money in illustration, Coe add s; the most she ever made in a year as an illustrator was $7,800. Of course, there's always advertising. "A drug company once called me up from Switzerland and said I ~could do a cover on ..anything I wanted. I said O .K. and did the cover. So they paid me S2,000 and sent me the magazine. It said, 'If you have anxiety about the world, take valium.' I haven' done advenising since." . Coe recreates reality. It is often as painful and disturb ing to the artist as it is to those who view her work . But Coe believes it is essential. "A n an ist's energy has to be focused on reality; when you go into delusion, you're in trouble," she notes. " If we all lived in reality, we could change things." 0 ,-- CALENDAR • Univerdly Libraries do not offer tas: adritt. pictures of works and unwual medicinal products and de5Criptions of the claims made for them.

Life-scientists and especially healthrelated professionals are interested in obtaining bette.r insight into this question, not the least because their lives primarily are dedicated to alleviating pain, mitigating suffering, and increas~ ing the quality of all life. In his earlier essay, Mr. Ketcham addressed the relation of rationality and compassion. The statement was made that compassion is not an e"1_otion, but apparently, as presented in the essay. it also is not rationality; what. then, is it? Compassion could mean an emotion tested by reason and weighed against other emotions: defining compassion as not being purely emotional must a)low some panicipation of rationality. In addition, Mr. Ketcham speaiCs of "unbridled rationality." To me, this seems a contradictio in adjectis. Reasoning by itself is a bridle, its own bridle. "Unbridled rationality" can be conceived only as devoid of all relation with emotion and reality; as one track of reasoning uncoupled from the integrity of our personality, memory. and outlook. Reasoning never can reject a priori any statement or judgment; it is against the nature of reason to limit available Input into reasoning; "(only) when reason sleeps, monsters awake ... Goya wrote on one of his etchings. WithouJ contradicting itself, rationality cannot be authoritarian or unconcerned. Only truncated rationality, applied to one train of thought , but not to others, leads to inflexible ideological .._ systems. "Unbridled rationality" is cold. inhumane; it does not arise from too much reasoning. but from the prostitution of reasoning to greed for power or money, to misunderstood miss1onary zeal, to defense of one's own unreasonable position . True rationality is qot the enemy of emotion, but of those who use emotions to achieve their selfish goals; rationality is emotion's sublimer and educator. r. Ketcham also has explored the concepts of .. vertical .. versus .. latM eral" differentiation. He agrees that life forms differ from each other, and I concur with him that such differentiation should not include generalizing value judgments. Such generalizing value judgments indeed have poisoned much of our past and , I am afraid , will continue to poison our future. On the other hand , there is nothing wrong in grading apple trees according to their productivity, or designating temperatures as high or low, as long as we clarify the specific and restricted aspect in which grading is attempted. Jbus, if there is a variety of degrees of sentience among living beings, a gradation can be legitimately proposed - obviously, a gradation as to sentience and not overall value. Mr. Ketcham, in his earlier essay, cites me as writing that "animals do not have the one right 'not to suffer';" bat he does not cite the full statement. What I had suggested in my statement was that animals perhaps did not have one right, but more than one: namely the rigbt not to suffer and the right to improve the quality of their lives. Since these rights sometimes clash - as, for example, in medieally oriented animal research - neither can reign aboolute. Our judgments pertaining to these two rights have to be made in the force field of which they represent the poles. Thus, decisions about animal experimentation have to be made withm this field of opposite forces, and decisions have to be made for each individual case on the basis of reasonably flexible guidelines that do justice to both principles. Some animaL rights activists still condemn medical research as useless: "Run, eat carrots, avoid s'!ll. and cho- Iestero!, and you don't need medicine." Unfortunately, reality does not attest to the truth of such statements. Obviously, a "healthy lifestyle" has more to offer than to rally people into some "accepted~ way of social belonging and fashion ; it is of utmost importance. Past records and our quite incomplete knowledge of life processes and health and disease suggest, however, only a limited value for preventive medicine; and even progress in preventive medicine depends to a large extent on scientific experimentation. often including animals. We need medicine and the other life-sciences; and animal experiments have been shown to contribute essentiaJJy to the improvement of health care and life quality. Donald Barnes stated a year ago that animal experiments are useless: he knows it. he " The sad eyes of dogs, monkeys, and rabbits looking at us from behind the bars of their cages in our laboratories must not make us forget the sad and imploring eyes of patients in our hospitals . . . . " said. from his own experience. Mr. Barnes had done experiments on rats for years, and h~ now feels that these experiments were completely senseless. I cannot contradict Mr. Barnes' assessment of his experiments. However, individual failure cannot justify generalized statements about animal . experimentation. W ell being of animals and minimizing pain and suffering are widespread concerns among physicians, psychologists, and scientists interested in medicine. Indeed , the fir.;t guidelines for a humane treatment of animals came from an asSociation of scientists in Great Britain as early as the 19th century. Current regulations of animal use in research and teaching are stringent. In our Univer.;ity, all use of animals in teaching and research is reviewed by a rather large committee including non-scientists. and community representatives. Funhermore, all applififions for research use of animals that pass the scrutiny of this committee are re~wed by the grantin$ agencies. Finally, all research proJectS active at our Universit~ that involve animals are monitored regularly with respect to animal welfare by the institutional committee (Laboratory Animal Care Committee). On the other hand, advances in medicine and public health as well as veterinary mediCine and ecology easily can be inhibited by overregulation. This could lead, in the nearest future, to deterioration of the life quality of our nation. As I have suggested already a year ago, tbe 'sad eyes of dogs, 1nonkeys, and rabbits looking at us from behind lhC: bar.; of their cages in our laboratory facilities must no~ make us forget tbe sad and imploring eyes of the patients in our hospitals. The debate with Gary bas been a most rewarding experience for me; l have confirmed my old conviction that a real friend is the one with whom it is a pleasure to disagree. 0 �February 25, 1988 Volume 19, No. 18 Shouts, • s1gns( ana • The Student Association livened. things up at Saturday's 65-64 UB Cage victory over PaC!3 by _sponsoring a sign contest and an open hoop shoot at halftime. . which a couple Cit cheel1eaders teamed up for, going literally one-on-one. The pep band added to the genend craziness. survived were to be killed . Massivr_protests nationwide, including objections from Dr. Henry Heimlich, halted the experiment. Heimlich characterized the research as "a needless experiment that must be classified as cruelty. n 3) Also halted by that protest was a proposed research project that was to study the effects of weightlessness on bone growth. In this experiment cats were to be placed in body casts and suspended with their hindquarters off the floor. Some of them would remain on their front paws for 90 days. Necessity is not the "mother" of these inventions. At the heart of this k.ind of research is the absolutist argument that man has an "absolute n right to acquire any kind of k.nowledge, by any means, and at any costs where animals are concerned. At the very least, any circumscribing principle is too dim to be perceived. There seems to be little point in discussing "degrees of sentience" and purported uncertainty about the "comparability" of a dog's pain and suffering when these values ultimately are whittled away by some rationalistic scalpel that presupposes the absolute right of human autonomy with regard to animals. he U.S. Supreme court has · established a litmus test which it T uses to proscribe invidious discrimination against blacks. While this model, as applied to animal experimentation, •Would fall short of the stand~ embraced by some animal rights activists, it would at least be far . superior -to the standard being employed now, which is something less than stringenL This Supreme Court Model is a workable substitute that can at least be used to establish minimum criteria for animal research. All animal research would be subject to a .. strict scrutiny" inquiry that presents a four- pronged standard that must be met: I) All experiments that cannot be conducted humanely, in terms of pain and suffering inflicted , must be precluded ; 2) The research must be addressing an issue that reflects a grave and compelling social imperative for such inquiry; 3) All possible alternatives for such research must have been demonstrabl y exhausted ; 4) It must be demonstrated that the research has a significant possibility of producin!l a substant ial impact on the problem 11 claims to be addressing. No smgle standard can fairly claim to represent every "animal rights" posttton.. There is diversity in the amma_l r:~~hts community just as there is dtversuy m the research community. However, if this standard was established as a minimum standard a vast amount of animal cxperiment~tion would be precluded or curtailed. Most if not all, animal experimentation in the private corporate sector would be proscri~ by this standard. It is here, m the pfivate sector, where some of the most flagrant, repugnant violations occur with nothing more than the profit motive as a justification. Many of these practices are anachronisms that grew from an impertinent set of circumstances, from a less conscious period in human history. If we cannot manufacture and market nail polish without exacting these tremendous costs from animals in product testing research, then we are obliged to relinquish our claim to that product. It fails all four requisites of this standard. What claim can it make to necessity? The research profession is a coterie that shares responsiblity for its . practices. It is an amalgam of scientists who learned their trade in the academic institutional cauldron that inculcates these values in the scientific community, and subsequently in society. By curtailing the viable options of antmal research, we can bring a force to bear on the scientific community to accept its obligation to explore other alternatives in a wholesale, expedient, and _exigent manner. Rtght now there ts no sufficient impetus for prodding researchers into abandoning their dtlatory tendencies and inertia in advancing toward the goal of eliminating reliance on animal expe~~ntation. It remains a low pnonty ~sue that is sitting on a back burner wllh a low beat settin!l.

He hung out \ol.rith people like future BealS Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs., annoyed the authorities at Coll!mbia Universiry with his anarchist activities, and rrav· eled around the world meeting other poets and reading from his work at coffeehouses and colleges. Howl is what many people think of when they hear the n ame Ginsberg. The 1956 epic poem, Ginsberg's first published work,. is perhaps one of the most widely read poems of the century. h dwells on the destruction by insanity of the "best minds of (his). generation." Now a distinguished professor at Brooklyn College, Ginsberg has recently traveled and taught in several cou ntries including Yugoslavia, where in 1986 he received the Struga Poetry Festival's, "Go lden Wreath."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

President Steven B. Sample told the University Council Feb. 11. Stating that he wished to address the question of the University's "accountability" and "stewardship." Sample denied his remarks had any direct connection with Governor Cuomo's recent criticism of SUNY. According to Sample, with fewer faculty, the University is teaching about ten per cent more graduate students than it did in 1975. Also, he said , money brought in by UB research faculty through the SUNY Research Foundation has increased almost fourfold since 1976. During this same period, he continued, U B has created 48 new degree programs, including eight doctoral programs, and has "substantially expanded " its schools of law; architecture and management. "We've got a closed pot here," Sample told the council. "We have fewer people and yet we have all these programs that didn't exist in 1975. I'm not looking for applause. All 1'm saying is we have done a substantial amount of reallocation." He added that the University is "aggressively pursuing outside funding through the UB Foundation." I ' n other business . John aughton . dean of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, described how U B and the Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center are working with the Western New York He alth Sciences Consortium to get a grant to establish a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanner imaging center. The PET scanner provides three-<limensional images of physiological and chemical processes as they are happening in the bod y. It also allows clinicians and researchers to follow a biologically active chemical, such as a drug or a naturally occurring molecule, as it moves through a living person or animal. The PET scanner would be the second such scanner in New York State. The other is located in Hornell. Naughton said a similar PET scanner at the University of Pennsylvania brought in S 15 million a year in outside funding. "We hope to have a good chance of getting one here ... he council also heard a report from Kevin Durkin, U B director of admissions. Durkin said 6,419 prospective freshmen will receive acceptance letters this week . These are from a field of 14,406 applications for freshmen spots. "'There has been a si~ni~cant increase in the number of apphcauons. plus a significant increase in academic quali ty," Durkin said. "Now the work is to convince the accented students that this is the schooi to attend. " Roughly one of every three accepted stud en ts decides to come here, the admissions director stated. The Univer- _..,.,. sity has a target enrollment of 2,750 freshmen for the fall of 1988. To spu r a decision in favor of U B. Durkin said the University will hold receptions next month in Albany, New York City, and Long Island . It will also hold an open house on April 16, and there will be a mail and telephone follow-up , includi ng a letter from Preside nt Sample, a congratulatory letter to parents, and materials from academic departments and the alumni office. Durkin said the projected freshman profile for the fall of 1988 calls for a 90.7 mean high school average and an 1123 mean SAT composite score . Accord ing to the projections. the future freshmen will have ranked in the top 12 per cent of their high school classes. T he council also welcomed David B. Filvaroff, the new dean of Law and Jurisprudence who joined the faculty Jan. I. Filvaroff, who came to UB from the University of Texas at Au stin. .. did not aspire to a deanship," bu t wa s "flattered with the inquiries" from UB . He found "the student bod y, facult y, and su pportive administrative structure irredeemably seductive," he said. He added: "You should know the extent to which the law school at SUNY-Buffalo is one of r.ational prominence. It is highly regarded within legal academic circles." Overall, Filvaroff said, the U B law school is "underappreciated." He called his new job "a very exciting opportunity to participate in the course- which Steve has set in pushing for excellence." T Dean Filvaroff of Law he council al so heard from Geography Professor James McConnell, who is trying to establish a Canada-U nited States Trade Center at the Uni versity. McConnell said UB is in a good position for such an activity. both from the standpoint of its location and its academic preparation . The center's essential mission , he said, would be to conduct basic and applied research on the economic interactions between the U.S . and Canada. Already, he said, his office has been "besieged by calls" from area firms and individuals as to the likely consequences of the hi storic trade agreement. T TELECOMMUNICATIONS .. For example, a researcher working at the superconductivity center may need to transfer high resolution graphics that require massive amounts of information. Or- the system of supercomputers at Cornell might have to communicate with the computers at Baird Research Park. "There are localized capabilities for this kind of high level transfer of information on campus," Wh itlock said. However, there is no comprehensive plan for the future. "This is very difficult to accomplish," he explained, "because the technology is advancing so rapidly that it's hard to predict what the needs might be five years from now." he telephone plan, said Wood, "will T most likely require extensive rewiring of portions of both campuses in order to make the (uturistic things possible." Awarding of the bid will be part of the seco nd phase of the project. .The bid could be awarded to a public ,.tility with a specialized service, such as ·New York Telephone, or it could go to a privately held firm. . The University's present- phqne system is Centrex, a service for large 'CUStomen; provided by New York Telephone. "Though adequate for basic voice communications, it's lacking in a lot of the more sophisticated technological features that are available in the marketplace tod ay, " Wood comments. Eventually, every disci pline will be affected, says Whitloc k. "It's not just the engineers and the computer scientisu. A medieval history professor, for example, is going to need access to high speed , high qualit y data communications. There are also the practical "We wilt be even with our peers if , not in the forefront." "Within the umbrella of the plan," adds Wood , "we're trying to add ress a lot o[ these technological issues, that is, prov1de the backbone and facilities so these kinds of things can be implemented at some futu re date." He continues: "The Universi ty is fast becoming its own telephone company. At the present time, we do all our own repair and our own moving and changing of equipment. In 1990, we hope to do all the maintenance and repair of the new system." Whitlock adds: "In order to achieve the· University's goal of becoming one of the top ten public research universities, and to fulfill our other goals as well, we have to make sure there is a first·class telecommunications infra· structure in place." needs of our geo$faphically far-flung medical school, whtch has clinical facil- · The University is late in upgrading ities in eight affiliated hospitals." its phone system.

Vice Pro vost for Undergraduate Education John Thorpe, who is the dean of the unit , said he hoped "the senate would cast its blessing on the new college ... He said the bylaws have been recast several times over the past four months. Michael Cowen of Mathematics argued that "'it was too drastic a step to establish an und ergraduate college after only one reading of the bylaws. What we're really doing is establishing a new academic unit. •• But Senator Thomas Headrick of Law coun tered that recent changes in the bylaws are the direct res ult of previous comments f rom senators. Cowen's mo ve to table a vote on the bylaws was defeated, after Ken Gage. the senate's non-voting student member, described the burgeoning opposition as .. an unintentionaJ filibuster." N called ick Goodman of Mathematics the newest versio n of the bylaws an "improvement... Still. he said , important groups are unrepre sented on the college·s executive committee. Goodman proposed an amendment that would establish "under· graduate cou ncils" to advise the college "on all matters affecting the programs of students majoring in that faculty ." The cou nci ls would be from Arts and Letters, atural Sciences and Mathematics. a nd Social Sciences. In addition, Goodman's amendment would have expanded the number of non-voti ng members of the college's executive committee. According to the amendment, the committee would include a representat ive ... elected by and fro m t he Faculty Senate Executi ve Co mmittee and one repre sen tati ve elected by and from the ( Professional) Staff Senate Executive Commillee. " Co ntinuing the debate. Cowen of Spirited debate over representation and how to elect members ends in 33-:f vote Math said the Undergraduate College need s more representation from .. facult y who have broad, practical grounding in undergraduate education.'"

E. (Division of Undergraduate Education). The debate reminded him. he said. of an interior decorator who offers an inspired plan for redecoration but .. won't move the furniture .... For God 's sa ke. let's pass it." an academic unit. We want this institution to be pa n of the Universi ty. We don't want it to be a committee. but an institution. If not, it will. like all co mmittees, disappear." In the view of Thomas Kalman of Pharmacy. ..the sense of the college is that it is an academic unit.'' But Michael Cowen of Math argued that the college ought to ··earn its place. rather than bei ng established by fiat." George Hochfield of English commented. ''let's preserve the byl aws 1lS written ... Yet there is a reason for the "suspicion:· said Hochfield ... Thi; is pa rtl y the fault of the Unde rgraduate College. wh ich did not adequately inform the faculty of its plans. therefore enhancing this feeling of suspicion. For instance. di sc ussion of the new world civilization course took place in the college and there was no public airing of the issue.·· But He ad ri ck said the se nate has been adequa tely informed by the college. The senate and other gro ups. he stated. were cons ult ed on plans for the college's freshman se minars and other enterprises. oodman 's motion to expand the membership of the execu t ive committee was defeated. The mathematics professor then made a motion to change the language of the preamble. Goodman argued , as he had durin6 the senate's executive co mmittee meeting Feb. 10, that .. an academic unit is a department. The coiJege is not a depanment. Why vote to make it one1 ..

Said Goodman: .. , would like to eli m inate their power to appoint the ir own successors.·· But Cha rles Ebert insisted that "this is not a fiendish organization trying to ra'1se a supe r race. I can't see the danger ... Michael Metzger worried about the .. locus of missing authority .. in the college. But Claude Welch said the purpose of the college is simply " to develop a cadre of senior faculty members who would show a commitment to undergraduate education above and beyo nd the ir normal duties." The vote was taken and the bylaws were approved by a vote of 33 to 7. I n other busi ness. the se nate heard President Sample's presentation on the University's successful track record of efficiently realloca t ing re so urces si nce 1975 . The se nate also voted to approve th e lntercollegiale Athlet ics Board statement on the rights of student athletes. Senate Chai rman John Boot explained that the NCAA constitution require s that each sc hool establish a policy on classes or exams that athletes miss because of their athletic panicipation . He said the senate's executive committee had adopted the statement, following much discussion and cons ult ation with the lAB. The statement says stud ents panicipating in a thlet ic contests s h d uld receive consideratio n "similar to that given students taking pan in other intercollegiate Universi t y-sponsored activities ... Class attendance and makeup policy is determined by the instructor. ~Reasonable allowa nces" should be made for th e circumstances involved .

Rise, Maintenance, and Destruction of Peaceable Societies .. duri11g a session on "The Ethnology and Ethnography of Aggression and Nonaggression in Primates," last Friday at the annual meeting of the American Associat ion ·for the Advancement of Science in Boston. Dentan has studied and lived with the Semai people in Malaysia for man y years. According to Dentan, the Semai have similarities to other peaceful societies, such as the bushmen of Africa and the various Menn o nite gro ups in America, including the Hutterites and the A mish. Dentan also compares these gro ups to the me mbers of Alcoholics An o nymo us, wh ich co uld be called an other peaceful society. The Semai are no mad ic homtt rs , who use blowgun s to hunt fo r small game, and gatherers of wild roots and fruits. •"M ost peaceful societies have a refuge area in an ecological sense," · Dentan said . The refuge area is the place where the society lives, hunts, and gathers.

Associate Editor ANN WHITCHER ~~~~:~ERN STEIN Weekly Calendar Editor JEAN SHRAOER Assistant Art Director REBECCA FARNHAII �February 18, 1988 Volume 19, No. 17 Death &dying How does the physician cope? "There are two By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO T parts o physicians. sickness is the enemy and the archenemy is death. But doctors must realize that when a patient is dying. the nature of their work changes, contends Rev. Lewis Bigler, a senior chaplain at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Instead of trying to cure the patient, doctors should try to make the patient comfortable and help him or her experience a high quality of life. Bigler. a minister at J onh Presbyterian Church in Amherst. worked with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the author of On Dtarh and Dying, early in her ca reer. He recently talked to UB medical students about -Pre paring for Your Patient's Death." There are two parts to the Hippocratic oath. he reminded the students. The first says that you shouldn~ withhold helpful treatment from you r patients. But the second, which is often overlooked , says that you shouldn't prolong death. You have to remember both pans to be an ethical physician, he said. to the medical oath: . patient 's actions will often let you A know that he has begun to integrate the idea that he's dying, Bigler "I think a lot of prolonging of dying is done in our culture,~ Bigler stated. -That's inappropriate." Death is a process in our culture, he explained. It starts when a pe11ion isn~ feeling well. He eventually goes to the doctor, gets a diagno sis, is treated , and at some point a prognosis is made that he is terminally ill. It's at that point that physicians should change the type of care they provide, he said. Medical treatments that cause patients pain, make them miss work , and keep them from social events are justifiable only when the patient will get well in the long-term. If the patient has been identified as terminal, -you're fooling yourself if yo u think you're giving (the treatments) for a cure," he said. Instead , physicians should be working to find ways to make the patient comfortable and promote the quality of life. "You have to recognize that there's a point where the good work you're doing changes from curative to caring, ... Bigler said. Learning how to talk to a dying patient is crucial. Bigler emphasized . It starts when the physician has to break the bad news. "You can~ drop the bomb and run ," he said. Don't co nfront the denial because it won~ work, he advised. It's like trying to tell an alcoholic or drug addict that he has a problem. The patient he"" only what he wants to hear. Denying his imminent death may be the patient 's way to fight the illness, one student noted. You don' want the patient to be comfortable with the idea of death if it means giving up the will to live. A balance has to be found, Bigler agreed. A patient may say, " I'm going to fight this thing and win , Oy around the wo rld , and marry again ... You want that fight there if the patient wants it. You don~ have to tell the patient he's wrong to believe he can actually accomplish all of that. But at the same time, don~ play the denial game with the patien t - don' buy ai rl ine tickets and make plans to travel with him. You ca~ gently bring him back to reality, Bigler said . Ask him what he would have to do to accomplish his goals. First he'd have to get well, and in order to do that he might have to follow a certain regimen. You'll be busy physicians. Bigler told the students, but you must take time to talk things through with your patient. That's the secret to any good physicianpatient relationship. but it 's especiall y important when you 're delivering emotionally charged news like -You have cancer" or "You have AIDS" or "You're going to die." It takes a while for the news to sink in . An hour later it may really hit the patient that this means the end is really co ming. · t first. patients will often deny that they're dying. Denial is healthy and appropriate, Bigler said. It becomes a problem o nl y if it gets th e patient in to A a medical crisis because he turn s to a quack -method or wo n't come in for treatment. Denial may be subtle. The patient ma y look at death in a childlike way as if he 's falling asleep. Or the denial can be as strong as th at experienced by a mentally ill person. Bigler gave th e example of a schizophrenic who thought she was dead. which is a fairly common delusion. A resident physician was convinced he could prove to her that s he was alive. Since she said that dead people don' bleed. the resident pricked her finger. She stared in amaze ment at the red drop forming on her fingertip. "My God. dead people do bleed! " she exclaimed . sai~ . Fo~ instance. he may begin to wrue a w11l. When speaking with d ying patients. Bigler advocates the use of metaphors. Using anecdotes, the physician can communicate in a way that the patient understands. Bigler said he probably has 200 or 300 metaphors that he has ga th ered over 15 years of hospital work , and he's always adding more. A metaphor could be something as simple as telling about another patient who just happens to be experiencing a similar problem. He used this technique with one woman and "for her. it spo ke." Bigler said . Rhymes work well for children and co ntemporary mu sic co mmunicates well with ad o lescents. "I also see well-planned prayers as metaphors." he added . The prayers are said for the patient and to them as well. Another metaphor he uses comes from escapist science fiction he read as a boy . . In the mystic east was the Room of a Thousand Dragons. used to test the mettle of those who aspired to be like the great Dalai Lama. The aspirants would enter the pitch-black room and hear the door lock behind them. To escape, they had to find their way to a · door on the other side of the room . Blocking the way were a thousand snarling dragons - the dangers. thoughts, and fears of their lives. The Dalai Lama offe red the aspirants only o ne clue on how to pass the test: once inside, keep your feet moving. "That's a beautiful metaphor," Bigler said, noting that life can be filled with pain and horror. -I've had patients on their death beds grasp my hand and say, ' I kept my feet moving.'" 0 Law School convQcation to focus on hiring-& firing urrent issues in employment relations will be the focal point of the Centennial Law Convocation being presented on Saturday, March 5, by the Law School·and its Alumni Association .

Within China this concern is seen in the attention devoted to this issue during the 13th National Party Congress and articles appearing in the China Daily ex toll ing the positive consequences of creative management in Chinese enterprises. As might be expected, examination of this one aspect 1>f modernization or refo rm reveals underlying strains as well as areas of considerable progress . Complicating general understanding of these issues in the U.S. an: the sometimes ambivalent feelin-gs of many Americans about China, occasional misperccptions about Chinese industry and politics, and some misunderstandings about China's transitional state. ln light of all this it might be helpful to step back and summarize current issues of concern in China related to the use of managerial talent. My own perspectives. have been affected by instit ut io nal involve ment in the joint Sino-U.S. training of managers since 1980 and , since 1984. by providing direction to a special M.B.A. program recognized in the 1984 Protocol on Science and Technology between both countries. The M.B.A. program involved is actually sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the State Economic Commission (SEC) of the Peoples' Republic of China. Program participants are Chinese managers, selected on the basis of national competition and supported by their employing enterprises, who enroll in a two and one-half year program taught by teams of Chinese and American faculty. Instruction occurs in English at the National Center for Science and Technology Management Development located at Dalian, China, and at the campus of the Stale University of New York at Buffalo. While in the U.S ., Chinese managers also participate in internships with U.S. corporations. On completion of their internships and stud1es, participants return to China and their sponsoring work units with an M. B.A. degree imred by SUNY at Buffalo. The experiences of the first two graduating classes, along with the repons received from over 2,000 nondegree training program graduates, make it possible to identify some emerging issues in the modernization of China's managerial resources. In summary form, the opportunities and problems confronting Chinese managers returning to enterprises with the intent of fully using newly acquired managerial skills are reflective of the societal dilemma posed by a common desire to ensure that China makes effective use of available human capital without overly disrupting existing, though in many ways transitional, economic and political systems. course, this issue of avoiding incomplete use of human pblential is not a new problem nor one"tliat bas emerged in unexpected fashion. ln terms of the special China M .B.A. Program, the topic bas been discussed • for a number of years by now Acting Premier Li Peng, senior officials of tbe SEC and DOC, U.S. and Chinese executives serving on a Bilateral" Advisory Board to the M.B.A. Program, as well as by participants and or their sponsoring enterprises. Everyone recognized that the re-introduction to China and their old work units of newly train ed M. B.A.s would provide major opport unit ies for rapid advance ments in operational · effectiveness but would also be a del icate process affected by some factors unique to China as well as by those common to all industrialized nations. units. These separate enterprises have a tradition of hoarding resource~ un~er the assumption that. at so.me ~1me m the future , in order to mamt am selfsufficiency. underutilized resources. hum an as well as physical, might well prove val uable. To now argue that underutil i2ed M.B.A . program graduates and ot her managers Sh()uld . if necessary be reass1gned by BeiJing officials to ~ore productive work is to advocate a degree of centralized national policy implemen.tati on that has not been traditional and IS co ntrary to the economic decentralizat ion th at is the heart of current reforms. It would be far better to allow T o begin wi th , it should be noted that tiJ<: EC, DOC and SUNY at Buffalo have bee n in close, continuous contact with the graduat.es of the M.B.A. program and all other joint Sino-U .S. training efforts, maintaining up-to-date informat io n on job assignments as well as reactions of graduates and their employers. We have active correspondence with most graduates and periodically conduct alumn i reunions, including the first M.B.A. class reunion this past summer, and alumni update training. In terms of the first two graduating M.B.A. classes there are some reports of underutilization of skills, and independent assessme nts support a number of these observations. But it is also the case that most of our Chinese M.B.A.s have return ed to or been placed in positions leading to exactly the type of work envisioned when the program was first designed . These would include individuals such as: Chen Xue-zhong, vice director of the Jia Mu Si Paper Mill and recently noted by The Economist for negotiation of innovative trading agreements; Hu Xiao-gong, chief of the Machinery Research Institute and leader of a joint venture stud y team in England; L1 Jue-fei, manager for the Petrochemical Import and Export Corporation in the Shen Zhen Development Zone; Ni Zhen. sales manager for the China National Electronics Import and Export Company, recently in the U.S. as part of a trade delegation seeking opportu nities for joint venture activities; Wang Chuan-shan. currenlly on assignment by the Machinery Industry to a rapidly growing enterprise to head up its new business development operations; Wang Heng, production manager, China National Tobacco Corporation, recently returned to China after extended assignment with R.J . Reynold s; and Chen Xianxing, who was originally with the Dalian Heavy Machinery Plant but has now transferred to a newly cr:eated U.S.-Sino joint venture operation in the Dalian Economic Zone. N evertheless, assessments by Chinese and American program directo rs have uncovered areas of concern among some graduates and these reactions provide clues about general problems and tensions that must be seen within the unique context of China. Although we in America tend to think of China as being highly centralized and in need of greater decentralization', the difficulties being experienced by some of our M.B.A. program graduates are symptomatic of a reality that is very differ.e nt. In China policy lS centrally developed and pronounced . However, policy implementation is usually highly decentralized. The irony i; that while Cbina now has a central policy that encourages managers to find tht most productive outlets for their talents, in reality this (>Oiicy is imJ!lemented through mdividual work enterprises to bid for the services ~f underutilized labor by facilitating overall worker mobility, and that is precisely.. the direction of nati onal policy articulated during the recently completed 13th Part y Congress. It is also of interest to note that such between-enterprise recruitment efforts are now under way, and several of our M.B.A. program graduates have. in fact. changed employing organizations as a result of such negotiated transfers. Job mobility within Chi na does need to be facilitated, and supportive policies are either in place or being developed . At least in the case of trained managers, there is some evidence of active implementation. B ut even Chinese managers in ~ositions consistent with newly acquired managerial skills tend to express some reservations about their current jobs. However. these co!"plai nts focus on the absence of compensation levels that reflect the greater relative contributions of managers to enterprise effectiveness much less the levels of personal and' professional risk-taking expected of and by M.B.A,s and other goal directed managers an ever)lda y work . This is a yery real ~otivational-problem but not JUSt for tramed managers. All Chinese workers are affected by the mformal legacy of an extreme ..egalitarianism" mentality. This is the reason that national policy has been altered to encourage differenti al compensation levels as well as the development of incentive or performance-based compensation ~yste ms. Until such reforms are trul y Implemented at all levels in Chinese work umts, these complaints will conunu7 to _surface. It is-encouraging tha~ Chma ts now experimenting with a va~ety of means to institutionalize vaned reward structures in order to truly-ben~fit from differential ability levels. This IS particularly critical in areas, such as management, where creativity and effectiveness rtqu ire individuals capable of both assessing problems and takmg appropnate risks. Pending generalized resolution of this problem, compensation structures will likely co ntinue to be a significant so urce of dissatisfaction for manv Chi nese workers, including man agers. It has also often been ob~rved that on returning to their jobs newl v tramed Chinese managers believe that ihm superiors are not as supporti ve as the\' would wish . As discussed in the · popular and academic press. th is ~~ not an uncommon reaction among nt:v.l\' graduated American M.B.A.s. · Furthermore, in a society where se ni orit y has traditionally been more im portant than a bility in determ mmg status, this lack of immediate and active encouragement is an expected source of dissatisfaction. In fact . m th1s respect. the reactions of Chinese M.B.A.s appear to closely mirror the frustrations expressed by Japane c managers, who receive M .B.A. degrees and then return to Japanese corporatio ns. These managers report that at home their newly acquired ;l1lls are often at least temporaril y ignored . and they are told to, 10 effect, ""au their turn." Since Chinese M.B.A.1 are highly co mpetent, aggressive. and ded icated managers, negative react11.JnS to work place allocations of responsibility based on tenure rath er than ability are predictable. Nevertheless, all of us involved 1n 1he M.B.A. program as well as other advanced traini ng efforts, Chinese a~ well as American, have cautioned returning managers that their future success will not be determined simp!~ by the development of fancy new technical skills. Mana!lement in any culture is a highly pohtical proce>S '" which. over time, the use of interpersonal skills must lead to th e establishment of an influence base th,u will ensure the effectiveness of cha nge Receiving a degree or special certificate does not automatically create such a base. This is an important, though perhaps always painful, lesson in an1 co rporate environment. I t is also appropriate to recogni1c thi!t the very process of managemcnl '" Chinese enterprises is undergoing a major revoluuon in functional empha~1~ as well as decision-making style. Virtual.ly all senior Chinese man agm have been trained as technical or engi neering specialists with little formal knowledge of markets, distribut ion systems, human resource management. etc. With such highly focused techmcal training, the managerial emphasis has naturally been on creating as much stability in production output as possible, regardless of consumer demand. In China, such attitudes were. of course, reinforced by past government practices that served t.o shield firms from direct contact wah clients or consumers through the use of thirjl...party bureaus or agencies. It has taken companies in the U.S . and elsewhere far too long to realize that such an overemphasis on productiOn stability at the cost of ignoring . customer preferences is not viable '" th e long run. In light of this history, it should not be surprising to discover that Chmese senior managers are somewhat . perplexed about bow to effectively {J.C .• with least disruption) use manage rs with a desire to respond rapidly to market realities. When Ofle recogn1zes that senior Chinese managers are responsible for providing employment for workers as weU as housing, education, health care, etc. for . . employees and their families , it 1s easl<r • to unden;tand that they would be cautious about embracing any new management ideas, methods of philosophy that might endanger the ability of a fttm to serve as the pnmary �February 18, 1988 Volume 19, No. 17 Th15 IS the f11st in a senes of papers by the Umvers1ty's academiC deans to be publtshed penodtcally du~~ng the academiC yeat. Each dean has been InVIted to dtscuss 1ssues of concern tor his or her school or fa culty. so urce of social as well as economic suppon for major segments of local communities. This is a dilemma that is curren tl y common in Chi na. However. manageme nt development training for senior man agers at locations such as the ational Center (Dalian), consistent national policies supportive of market-oriented en terprise management. and highly vis ible reports of the successes of ou r M.B.A. graduates as well as graduates from other ational Center program s are making it easier for se nior managers to be supponi ve of well reasoned risk-taking. But th e time required to make these ne w approaches a common pan of the management cult ure found in all Chinese enterprises will be lengthy. R ecognizing that those Chinese managers most often sent for special training .are relatively yo ung, the impatience of youth and the culturally determined shorter time frames used in Western management decision-ma king appear to make it difficult for some graduates of ad vanced train ing programs to avoid impatience with the lack of progress they see in so me Chinese enterprises. But it is also clear that these future economic leaders of ' China have the confidence and long term commitment to China to publicly voice these concerns as a means of highlighting a series of related problems that affect all Chinese workers. There have been an almost incredible scope and scale to the changes that have occ urred in Chinese society over the past ten years, and the speed of these transitions has been truly im pressi ve. Nevertheless, for China there is a fine line between encouraging experimentation and incurring major disruptions that can endanger the social and political progress being experienced "The objective is to ·have these M.B.A. grads act as change agents & facilitators of Sino-US. trade." by over a billion people. Those of us involved in cooperative Sino-U .S. management training believe there is reason to remain very optimistic that the probferns encountered by more enlightened Chinese managers will form a basis for significant positive change. The personal interest in the experiences of returning M.B.A.s taken by Acting Premier Li Peng, as well as senior SEC officials, bodes well for an active continuing examination of these issues. Similarly. the creative responses of Chinese companies such as Sinopec, National Automobile Corporation, China Construction Company, Bank of China, and Anshan Steel Corporation indicate a true willingness to use talented Chinese managers in positions where skills and work responstbilities can lead to greater corporate . effectiveness. Funhermore, the clear commitment to China's future, as well as an increasingly active participation in international economic cooperation project.s, by M .B.A. and otlier pro11ram j!raduates, is being evidenced even· m mstances where current job responsibili~es do not appear to _be consistent wtlh mcreased capabthues. For example, although having little oppatrtunity to· do so in current work assl&llments, recent M.B.A.s such as Zhong Zbao-ai (~ntral l_~titute of Finance and Banking, Betjtog) and Guo Qi (SitT Information Institute of the Textile Ministry) have voluntanly worked on a number of joint venture feasibilit y st udies si mply as a means of exe rcising and enhancing their analytical and judgmental abilities. This is a pattern observed in almost all cases of temporarily underutilized M.B.A. graduates. The desire to continuall y develop and use skills for the best interests of C hina, and as a means of facilitating trade and joint ven tures with U.S. co mpanies will provide a breathing space during which implementation of Chi nese government policy can be guided to best utilize the advanced skills possessed by M. B.A. and other management program graduates. The current interest being expressed for wi thin - lirm clusteri ng of t he training of Chinese managers at the Sino-U .S . sponsored ati onal Center (Dalian) program (e.g., through the use of non-<legree seminars and workshops in co njunction with the M.B.A program) should lead to si tuations in which M.B.A. program graduates will lind themselves working under senior enterprise managers who fully rialize how these new management skills can be effectively deployed. This will, in effect, develop a n internal co rporate network so essential to any successful changes in ove rall o perating culture. Similarly. the increasing requests of American co rporat io ns for access to such trai ned pe.-.onnel through th eir Chi nese joint venture counterpans is serving to clarify the value of such sk ills to many Chinese managers. n short, th e experiences of our first I classes of Chinese M .B.A.s as well as thbse of more se nior managers trai ned in joint Sino-U.S. programs should be seen within the co nte xt of a pioneeri ng effon supponive of self-<letermined but clearly revolutionary economic and political changes within. China. The objective is to have newly trained managers serve as change agents and facilitators of commercial cooperation between China and the U.S. Ind ependent evidence suggests that the internal climate of China is increasingly supponive. These newl y developed managers are accomplishing their primary objectives. Nevenhe less as agents of change, a number of managers, panicularly th ose graduating from the M.B.A. program , are incurring some unusual personal costs for playing such a role. Those of us involved in the bilateral training of managers are convinced that China perceives these and fu ture ge nerations of managers as a major national resource that the country can ill-afford to see misallocated or lost through a fail ure to continually upgrade. Indeed, we see ourselves engaged if! an aspect of technology transfer that can beeome self-renewing and self-improving, resulting in the best form of technology tra.nsfer for th e long-term. By now it slu>uld be clear to even the casual observer that China's co nlinuing priorities include improving the standard of livi ng for the general population, remaining open to and actively supponing economic and cultural interaction with the West, and increasi ng the use of technocrats rather than ideologists as managers of enterprises. These objectives are seen as serving China's best tnterests but t hey are also consistent with U.S . economic and political interests. The introduction of trained managers, whether through M.B.A. pro~rams or in other forms, is seen as one tnstrument of change for China. Within this larger context of radical yet peaceful social change, as evidenced by the experiences· of Chinese M.B.A.s, we in the West should expect China's process of assimilating new management technologies to be characterized by different rates of progress as points of resistance are encountered and new strategies identified for accommodating to Cbina's unique -realities. 0 German graduate group has growing reputation By FRANK BAKER D avid Ri chards believes good things come in small packages. US's Graduate Gro up in Modern German Studies , which he direct s, bears out this philosophy. Al t hough there are only abo ut a · dozen students actively participating in th e program, those who are current ly in, or have recen tly left. the gro up have fo und it to be a most worthwhile endeavor. According to Richards, who is also the chairman o( the Modern Languages and Literatures Depanment, ma ny of the group's students teceive fellowships an d study ab road aft e r their U B experience. "'We give at least one. and so metimes tw o, fell o wship s each year to an advanced graduate student with an in terdiscipl inary background," he said . "A number of former fellowsh ip holders are now working on their d isse rtat ions , either in German y o r elsewhere ... Still others have been reco mmended for vario us summer seminar gran ts at different un iversities. Richards added that th e UB fellowship is open to th ose students pursuing interdisciplinary stud ies leading to a Ph.D. in history, philosophy. or German li terature. The award carries a S7 ,000 stipend for the academic year and includes a waiver of tu ition fees . "The fellowship is designed t o enco urage interdisciplinary studies in political, social . intellectual, and cultural aspects of German y," he said. adding that the group itself could be described in the same manner. R. ichards' gro up was one of US 's ori$inal graduate groups and was started to 1974 when he and fellow professor Peter Heller received a gran t to create German culture courses. "The cou rses were a nd are very diverse and are taught in a number of ways," said Ric hard s. " For instance, some courses are "team taught· (more than one instructor) by faculty from different depanments." Each course explores a differe nt area of German culture, explained Richards, and may vary from German expressionism to the Holocaust. "We try_ to give the students a broader perspective on German culture," he noted . "Dr. Heller and I work very closely with the History Depan- ment. as well as other depanments, to d evelop interesting and st imu lating courses ... Currentl y. there are 17 UB facult y members whose expertise the group dTaws on. Howeve r, Ric hards noted that ''colleagues from other un iversi ti es are also invited to help teach. " Last fall se mester. we offered to pies in German intellectual and literary history ," said Richard s, who taught a course titled .. Li terature and Ans in the Weimar Republic:· "The whole goal of the prog ram is to give the stud ents a better overall view of their chosen lield , whether it is German. history, philoso ph y, or anything else," he said . " It 's really an eye-opener to students. It introduces them to many things they wouldn\ ordinarily see. " 0 ne inte resting aspect of the group is its stud y group for Richard s' co u.-.e. Begun two years ago. the stud y group meets every other week to consider topics .. which aren't covered in class. The catch is th at the group meets on a volun tary basis, witho ut credit. Interestingly enough, each meeting has a quorum. " It is trul y enrichment wi th o ut cred it," said Richards proudly. Des pite its small size. R ic hards noted , the group has drawn national attention for its work in the lield of German culture. That reputation was recently enhanced when the group was awarded an additional fe llowshi p from the German Academic Exchange Service - a unit of the West German governme;u.- The award will be open to any stud ent in the University. "The fellowship will be awarded for the lirst time this year," said Richards, adding that by receiving the award, UB .. has attracted .. much attention natio nwide." In the fu ture, Richards hopes to be able to bring in a visiting professor fro m Germany to teach here. The lirst step in reaching that goal has already occurred, he said. . .. We have a commitment from the German Exchange to pay p~ of the bill," said Richards. "Now all we need is a commitment from UB." Whether or not that aspect o( the program comes to fruition, Richards plans to keep the group successful and to expand what it has to offer.

Performing-creative arts scholarships being· offered By ANN WHITCHER new scholarship program in the performing and creative arts has been established as part of UB's successful honors program, in operation since 1981. Ten students in the arts will be ad mitted as part of the program in the fall of 1988. They will receive unrestricted scholarships of S2,000 a year, renewable for four years of undergrad· uate study. According to Josephine Capuima, administrative director of the honors program, the arts scholarships are an attempt to attract students with out· standmg ability in art, theatre, dance, music,otand medi'a studies. Winners of the scholarships will be University honors scholars and will receive all benefits awarded to members of the regular honors program. In addition to the unrestricted schol- A arships, these "perks" include early reg· istration, guaranteed housing in Governors 'Residence Hall, faculty mentors, special honors seminar courses, and participation in the .. Evening With Faculty" programs. Admission criteria for the performing and creative arts program differ slightly from those used for the regular honors program, says Capuana. Students must have a high school average of 90 or beller, and combined .SAT scores of 1150 or better. Additionally, they must show evi· dence of exceptional talent. They must also be seriously committed to a field , says Capuana. Students applying for the scholarship must submll a portfo· lio, a film, video work, or digital arts composition, or must audition, depending on their intended field of study. C apuana says the University's h1ghly-regarded programs in engineering and. science at(ract many of the Unive rsity's honors students. The new arts program, she says, is an atte mpt to fos ter a broader image of UB. "Stu· dents who have outstanding promise in the performing and creative arts are ofte.n encouraged by tllei? guidance counselors to go elsewhere, when we can offer similar programs of very high quality." Clyde F. Herreid; professor of biological sciences and a member of the honors program council, comments: "Once in place, we expect the arts honors program to attract fine fine studen~ in large numbers. In a' very short llme, we ·sl!ottld' have one of the most outstanding groups of students in • the arts in the country." Richard Mennen, chairman of the Department of Theatre and Dance, calls the ne.w scholarships "a terrific idea." He 1ldds: " It comes at a time when we• are developing an outstanding faculty in acting. It will enable us, especially within New York State, to identify t ~e nted performance students one should have when developing a ~re-professional program. In short, it he1ghtens the overall visi tiility of our program ." ylvia Dimiziani, associate professor of music, adds: "The establishment S of an honors scholarship in the performing arts will have a strong impact on the Music Department, · placing us in the position to recruit top students. Competition among conservatories and universities . to recruit top performing students is very keen, indeed, and UB is usually at a di•advantage due to the lack of scholarship support for the . truly gifted performer." A~ ptance letters for the arts scholarships will be mailed on April I. Additional information on the arts honors ~rogram may be obtained by tele phomng Capuano at 636-3020. 0 �February 18, 1988 Volume 19, No. 17 Harold Noah He looks and acts like a teacher I By FRANK BAKER W hen Harold Noah enters the room , you know you're going to get an education. He looks like a teacher. Maybe it's the glasses . Or the distinguished-looking beard. Perhaps it's his British accent. However, more than likely, it's Noah's demeanor. He not only looks like a teacher, he acts like one. Noah uses words that flow and strategic movements of his hands to add an embellishment wherever he deems one necessary. So, who is this Harold Noah? or starters, he is a professor of economics of education and a new addition to -UB's comparative education program, having just arrived last September from Columbia University where he held the prestigious Gardner Cowles Professorship at Teachers College. He also is the recent recipient of a $350,000-plus grant from the Chicagobased Spencer Foundation to be used to investigate national systems of secondary school examinations in China , England , West Germany, France, Japan, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and the U.S. Working with Noah on the study will be Max Eckstein, who holds appointments at the Columbia Institute for Philosophy and Politics of Education and the City University of New York. The countries chosen for the study were picked bc;cause "each exemplifies a particular aspect of secondary education examinations, ... noted Noah. F H e added that he hopes to be "able to say something sensible about three things" once the three-year study ends. First, Noah wants to see if, in fact, nations are becoming more similar in their approach to educational examinations. "I think we11 find that things are, indeed, becoming convergent," he said. Second, do the exam systems contribute to the inertia of education? "I believe that exams are powerful obstacles to change," noted Noah. "I think we11 find that to be true of all the nations we look at." Finally, Noah would like to find out what employers and admissions officers think about the usefulness of exams. Are they helpful in predicting fiow a person will tum out, or are they simply a measure of one aspect of a person's aptitude? R egardless of what he finds out about other systems, Noah will still probably hold his strong views on edu- "I think we've gone overboard in the use of multiple choice, quickie tests. We need to restore a balance." cation at home. To begin with, Noah feels lhe U.S. gives its students opportunities to further their education in a way that other countries do not. Take Great Britain, for example. .. The British are more restrictive and seleCtive about their education,.. said Noah. "Secondary schooling is not the mass enterprise m England that it is here. In the U.S. there is a good mix of uniformity and diversity in education." .However, just because he feels there are more educational opportunities in the U.S., don' get the idea that Noah believes the U.S. has a perfect system. He feels some definite improvements are in order. " 1 do think that we have gone overboard in the use of multiple choice, quickie tests," be said. "We need to restore a balance. 1' think a good test would include some multiple choice questions, but also a substantial fracllon of essays and problems where the student must show his work." oah used the Soviet Union as an example of how other countries emphasize different aspects of testing. "The Soviets place a tremendous emphasis on oral testing," he said. "For instance, a chemistry exam in the Soviet U ni9n consists of questions on a group of cards placed face down on a table. The student then chooses three or four cards and retires to another room. "After contemplating the questions for a certain amount of time, he is brought back into the other room_ and is asked to tell his answer to the instructor. Nothing is ever written." N !though that example clearly illustrates a major divergence from our system of education, NOab insisted there are actually . many similarities in education in all countries. For instance, ... all nations want to expand the role of women in education and to expand compulsory education itself." He added: ".All nations also want to use their schools for the promotion of good citizens and citizenship ... Because of these similarities, Noah said, all "schools are starting to look the same. To paraphase Gertrude Stein, 'a school is a school is a school. • " Noah was born in England and eame to the Uni ted States in 1958 on a Fulbright Scholarship. He received a B.Sc. in economics from the London School of Economics and Politieal Science, an academic diploma in education from King's College, University of London, and a doctorate in comparative cduca· tion / econ~ts of education from Columbia in 1964. The author of eight books, he is a research associate in Columbia's Harriman Institute. He hopes to write a book on the 0 findings of his current study. A Multi-faceted Susan Howe is a visiting prof in English P ainter, poet, and writer Susan Howe, (!:Cognized for her work on Emily Dickinson, has lieen named a visiting professor of English here for the spring semester. Howe revolutionized the study of Emily Dickinson with her book /dy Emily 11Dickinson, a critieal look at the 20th century American poet that concentrates on the untitled Ninth Poem in Fascicle 34, which begins, "My Life has stood-a Loaded Gun." "It makes arguments for Dickinson that rescue her from the typical view of a retiring virgin ,.. said' Neil Schmitz, Ph.D., professor of English. Instead, he said, it shows her as an ambitious, bright, and powerful poet. Howe has recently participated in a series of workshops and readings on Emily Dickinson m Vancouver, B.C., as a guest artist of the Canadian government. Last summer she participated in a Robert Louis Stevenson po-" etry festival in Saranac Lake.

There are Furnas' eye glasses and his baby ring. There's a Christmas card from the Eisenhower> (Furnas was an assistant secretary of defense in Ike's administration). There are his grandmother's Bible and thimble, and a rose quartz chip from his parents' headstone. There are his pipes and a collection of lighters. There are the athletic medals that Furnas, an able athlete who once ran in the Olympics, won during the 1920•, A1 well as his cameras, and his sporting equipment. But there is also a lasting testimony to Furnas' visions of the future. By ANTHONY CHASE t's a bit surprising for a room designed as a memorial, but visitors to the Furnas Memorial Conference Room are as likely to leave with thoughts of the future as of the past. Clifford Cook Furnas was UB's last chancellor, from 1954 until 1%2 when the university ~went State." He then served as its first president until his retirement in 1966. Shortly after his death in 1%9, his widow, Sparlcle Moore Furnas, began the exhaustive task of organizing Furnas' papers· and belongings. The result of her efforts is the Furnas Collection which is on permanent display in the Furnas Memorial Conference Room on the ftfth Ooor of Capen Hall. I I n her biography of her late husband. Sparkle Furnas writes, He was constantly looking at the world through a wide-angled telescopic lens and forecasting the future. He said. 'It is dangerous to speculate to o far, but it is foolish not to speculate at all.' " The titles of some of the books he wrote, such as America's TomorrOK' ( 1932) and The Next Hundred Years (1936) indicate his visionary nature. Little details in the Furnas room prove that Furnas was never one to live in the past. He was apparently a collector - not of quaint Victorian bric-a~brac, or of anti~ue coins. but of artifacts of modern hfe. He had a large collection of swizzle sticks. He had a collection of models of rockets and jetplanes. A collection of pens includes moder n multi-<:olored ball points. A collection of ashtays features brightly colored plastic trays that look like someth ing out of "The Jetsons." Photographs of him at work during the '50s and '60s show him standing not among antique furnishings , but among the modern lines and designs of those decades. The old world dignity of Virginia Cuthbert Elliott's oil painting of Furnas that dom inates the room is offset by several humorous depictions of him in various modem cartoons. Furnas evidently had a sense of humor about himself. "He was always looking at the world through a wide angle telescopic lens and forecasting the future. . . " Souvenirs of his career include reminders of his involvement in technology at the Curt iss- Wright Aeronautical Laboratory (later Cornell Aeronautical'i...aboratory), which he directed, and at the Pentagon where he served as assistant sec retary of defense for research and deve lopment from Dec. 1955 to Feb. 1957. S park.le Furnas collected a list of her husband 's most impressive predictions for the future which date back to as early as 1930. • He predicted that man would land on the moon before the end of the century. • lfe anticipated the need to cope with the problem of overpo pulation, wasning that "The cold fi nger of Malthus is still in the background." - • He anticipated the energy crunch 40 years in advance. writing that "'We have sponged off the fossil energy of past ages and this can\ go on forever." " In his last dictation, April 5, 1969," wrote his widow ... he indicated his concern that the world might be headed toward a second 'Dark Age' unless the human race made concerted effort to solve some of the problems which he had been trying to alert them to for the past 30 yea rs. such as energy shoitage, depleted natural resources, air and water pollution. population explosio n, and race hatreds.,.. Clifford Furnas' records and memorabilia can be viewed Mondays through Fridays in the Furnas room, on the fifth Ooor of Capen Hall . 0 Furnas has a way of accomplishing her goals In 1954, Furnas became the chancellor of UB. As UB's first lady from 1954 to 1966 , Sparkle Furnas demonstrated tireless dedication to the promotion of the University, and to her husband's career. She followed a schedule that allowed her to stay home only three or four evenings a month, ranking her among the most active president's wives in UB's history. Mrs. Furnas is an accomplished woman in her own right. She holds a master of science degree from the Uni- By ANTHONY CHASE parkle Moore was named after the heroine of a novel authored by her mother's obsfetrician in Zionsville, Indiana. ~The book was called The Knock at the Gate of Hell, and the heroine could resist all temptation," she once told -the Buffalo Evening News. Always straightforward, Sparkle has never bothered triOing with temptation. She's always had a bold way of accomplishing exactly what she wants. The Clifford Cook Furnas Memorial Conference Room is only one example. Even in co~rtship she demonstrated that quality. Sparkle was attending a church picnic in Happy Hollow Park in West l:.afayette, Indiana, when she spotted a handsome young man. He turned out to be Clifford C. Furnas, a Purdue University undergrad who would one day be the chancellor of the University of Buffalo. Furnas bad just returned from _ the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Belg~um, where be had competed in track and field events. Fascinated by the stranger, Sparlcle ignored the crowd of admirers that surrounded him, and zeroed in to engage Furnas in conversation. The fascination turned out to be mutual. ~we both came to the picnic with other people," she recalled, "but' he took me home. I don' know what became of our original dates."

"I'm really quite proud of the biography," admits Mrs. Furnas. She adds that she's run out of copies of the genealogy, and that she's had "many, many" requesrs for it.

"It will be called the Moore Family Room," she said, and will be housed in the museum in Zionsville, Indiana, the town in which she was born, and in which her brother lived. Despite all this activity, she thinks the Colorado altitude may have slowed her do,wn a bit.

They spent more than a year among the half million speakers or the Quiche language. That's where daykeeping came in. Tedlock had visited the sacred places and listened to prayers and chants. He'd learned the rhythms of ~he Mayan calendar, and he'd asked a lot or questions. But he was running into problems trying to get answers. Then, the daykccper who had guided him through the shrines of the town or Momostenango offered to take him on as an apprentice. Four and a half months later, Tedlock was a trained day keeper and could start answering some of his own questions. It's not unusual for Tedlock to start out studying one aspect or a culture and find himse lf doing extensive. research in quite another area in order to understand what he started out to study. · "To understand one single story, you might have to learn something about astronomy or zoology or botany or look up some historical documents, • he said. "One wl!ole section of the Popol Vuh, for example, gives the mythology behind a part or the .hieroglyphic book that deals with the planet Venus. So in An illustration by filmmaker Patricia Amlin for her animaled film based on Popol Vuh. ... getting input from those who understand the language and history or the culture, certain passages o r even words that had always escaped translators would, iqeally, be elucidated. "No one ever realized that there were any hum orous aspects of the Popol Vuh ... for examp.le , Tedlock said . "There are plenty of them. You 11 be read ing through a passage with a Quiche, and he11 suddenly start lau~h­ . ing. So, he11 explain to you why tt's funny, and the passage might turn out to be an allegory. • 0 ne of Tedlock's primary inte rests is in narrative storytelling, especially in non-literate or oral cultures like that of the American Indian . . His translations" reflect that interest. They are not like traditional literal render- . ings which may focus on such things as getting the correct spelling or words; or writin$ in complete sentences. The extensive commentaries included in his translation of Popol Vuh, for example, give attention to what The Vii/Dge Voice calls "the cadenct'S of living speech underlying its ceremonial utterance." When he goes into the field , Tedloek makes sound recordings or contemporary · narratives, prayers, s peeches. chants, and songs. But these are also recordings of the voices that communicated those stories. "If alphabetic writing could speak aloud it would sound like a voice on a video 11ame, a computer voice stnpped of all 1ts musical d1mensions," Tedlock -said. " When I study narratives, I study them as performances. 1 try to make translations that are performable scripts. So when you read them aloud according to the instructions, you are giving the same kinds. or emphases, nuances: tones of voice, and pacing of I e original performers - all of which contribuJe to the meaning of a story and all o( which used to be ignored. "What storytelling is quintessentially all abolll-'fs creating mentlll pictures ·in people," be said. "Storyt.ellers are not so much trying to remember the words ru; describing the story as they see it. If it works, the membC:rs of their audience will be staring into space or closing their eyes or knitting just as ~ople used to do when they listened to radio dramas. It's basica lly a process ·or visualization." T he Zuni Ind ian·. of New Mexico, another society Tedlock has studied extensively, even ea1 a cc:rtain k..ind of nut similar to popco rn when they listen to stories. But th l ·e probably aren' many more s t o rytelling si milarities between New World and Western cultures. " In this society, we generally don' allow somebody even a five minute narrative," Ted lock said. "If I measured this society on a world comparative scale, we'd be at the extreme.,. end of shutting people down, of- not allowing them to tell stories. • Tedlock pointed to the development · of the joke. Our society's jokes have gotten shorter and s.horte r . Long shaggy dog stories were once popular, Tedlock noted, but that was 25 yean; ago. Jokes now typically take only about three or four sentences to tell ~Mayans don' have jokes," he said. • See~.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

State University of New York AI TES11NG: ·• ~ The Surgeon General would like to have one large urban university test all its students. It's just an idea, but might UB or SUNY be interested in "I pursuing it? ow H many American college students are infected with the AIDS virus? That"s what U.S . Surgeon General C. Everell Koop would like to know . Recently Koop suggested a program through which every student at a yet to be determined urban university with an enrollment of over 25,000 would be tested for AIDS. Urban university? Over 25,000 stu- dents? Does that sound like any place you know? There's no way of knowing if the su rgeon general might be considering UB. or even ho w thoroughly the idea has been worked out. In fact. it seems likely that the plan has not been wo rked out at aJL t 's my understanding that the remark was made off the top of hi s head in casual conversation, and that it"s really been played up in the press."' said Anne Sims, public affairs officer at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The IXnters track the progress of infectious diseases in tbe United States. Sims said that reaction to the idea has been very mixed . Some think it sh o uld be done immediatel y. Others think that testing a si ngle universit y would prove very little. Of course. she were calculated . ·· tn the ne xt few weeks I expect that we11 see a formal proposal." Haffner speculated . added . the point is academic. because T no such pro posal has eve r been made except in the surgeon general's off-t-hecuff comments. This information was co nfirmed by Lynn Trible of the U.S . Public Health Service. who. speaki ng on behalf of Koop . said that although the surgeon general did express an interest in a vo luntary and anonymous A IDS testing project at a large urban uni versity. no formal plan exists . " At this point it 's still just an idea:· said Trible. who added that the surgeon general has no plan or guidelines fo r the selection of a university. and no geographical preferenl% either. There are those who doubt that Koop's rcmark.s were as spontaneous as they appeared . Alden Haffner. SUNY vice chancellor for research. graduate study . and professio nal programs . expects that Koop knew that tlte spotlight was on him , and that the remarks here are those who have wondered h ow a decision to go ahead with an AIDS testing program would be handled if it were offered to UB. Provost William Greiner indicated that there would have to be an enormous amount of University involvement in the decision . and that Robert Palmer. as vice provost for student affairs, would be a key playe r in the process . .. We always consult with a broad range of constjtuencies, including students.·· Palmer confirmed . '"Numerous groups Wduld have to be involved in a . very elaborate decisio n-making process. both in Buffalo and at the State level," he said . Reaction to Koop 's idea among peopleat UB is cautious and varied. ... I'm not s ure it's necessary to test an entire campus population, .. said Dennis Black. associate dean in the Division of o See AIDS TESnNG. page 2 �February 11 , 1988 Volume 19, No. 16 Truce declared in Statistics controversy By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO admitted to the master's program.

The survey. whtch asks for people's views about smoking on campus. will be used by the commi ttee to help formula.c: compre~e ns!ve guidelines for smoking by Untverstty personneL ..The idea of the survey was to get a feel for what we should be implementing" with o ur guidelines, said Harvey Axlerod, head of United University ~rofessions' Buffalo Cen te r Chapter. We want to get mput from the: Uni versity community ... . The results of th e survey, which was d_1stnbuted rand o ml y to a rep resentative sample of various groups on campus, an: expected to be read y fo r public release m a couple of weeks. "As long as peop le get them in soon. we. can haye th e res ults quickl y," said Chfford W1lson, assist a nt vice president for human resources and co,hair. with Axlerod , of the committee. UB's . committee o n smoking was fo rmed m voluntary cooperation with a directive from the Gove rnor 's Office of Employee Relations (GOER) aimed at limiting s mo king on the job for State workers. - originally the directive was an order from GOER," said Wilson. But, - now they're just asking us to come up with a plan for our employees." The reason for the change in the State's plans was that the original legislative proposal ordering State agencies to come up with a comprehensive policy that would largely eliminate ·smoking on the job - . okayed last summer - has since been overturned by the courts. -So, now instead of ordering agencies to comply with the legislation, GOER is asking them to go along with it. That's where UB 's committee comes in . The eight-member committee, made up of three representatives from UB's administration and one each from the State employees' five unions on cai:o- . pus, was assigned the task of coming up with a policy lor smo kmg on U B campu ses. :· ~c are · wo r k1ng m a cooperative spmt to come up with gu ideli ne s that will make the campuses as smoke free as possible without infringing on people's rights, " said Ax lerod . .. We don't want to trample ove r smokers.- added Wilso n. -out we do wa nt to respect the right s of non-smokers ... . Axlerod noted th at even though outhnmg gutdehnes for smoking in the workplace is optio nal fo r all SUNY camp uses, U B is determined to come up with a fair and equitable plan . -Not all ca mpuses are doing it," he said . " But we are committed to working on it." W hil e they con tinu e to develop the gu1del1nes, the committee will look at ce rt ain aspects of mak ing them a rea hty, such as Implementat io n a nd enforce ment . "We are c urr e ntl y looking a t enfo rcement ," re marked Wilso n .... We ~ant to co":le up with reasonable guidelines that wtll work for people.E~e n . tho ugh the committee is ea rly o n m 1ts wo rk , both men think th e group has made so me headway. They both al so stressed that the fac t the comm.Ittet bas not been forced to adhere to a strict timetable has enabl ed them to think out e,ach step of the process. .. The . com mittet: work.s on a co nsensus basts, ~ot a vote," said Ax.Jerod ... If someone 1s adamantl y against so mething ~hen there is no consensus. However,_ tf there are only mild objection s to different thmgs, then we consider it a consensus. "We want to get it well thought out he added . "We don\ want to be rash-' Wilson concurred , saying, -we h~ve the ttm_e to do it right , and that's comfortmg." Both men said th'cy thought a proposal could be ready as early as the om1 of the spring. If that's the case the committee's plan must then be app;oved by both the unions and the adrrunistration before implementation can occur.D ins urm o unt able problem. George said : this kind of th ing has been done before. Several of the faculty members tn th e department al ready a~e interested tn biostatisti cs, George satd .

Regarding the seco nd part of the resolution , George acknowledged that he might have violated p roced ures. If he were to do it over, -procedurally, I would do it differently," he said. He would have brought the matter to the Fac ult y Senate and Graduat e AIDS TESTING Student Affairs. -George Gallup has made a lot of mo ney quest ioni ng 300 people ar a rime to determine American opi nion ...

The study by Maril yn L. Reeves, Ph .

It discourages effons to attract tourists from other pans of the cou ntry. noting that .. This market is not only small, but it also is the most difficult to please . .. While tho se developing tourism fig ht to ca pture it ( th e national market), the readily accessible regio nal market ' that enjoys the activities available or potentially availa ble in th e region is largely ignored." Data on travel behavior indicate travel is predominantly in traregional. with travel to adjacent regions seco nd in imponance. the stud y says. The only significant interregional travel is to the Southeast and Far West. This travel trend benefits Western New York, since 51 per cent of the total population of the United States and Ca nada lives within 750 miles of the region , the repons says. And with more people taking shon holidays throughout the year. rather than th e t radition al, single block of time in the summer, the regi o n could inc rease tourism significantly by promoting "minivacations,"" it says. "Given market data and travel patterns, the obvious tourist markets for Western New York are Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ontario , a nd New York: State," th e study says, addi ng that potential new markets are adjacent areas i n the No rt heast , the MidAtlantic states. and Michigan.

Regional recreation should be developed simultaneously with tourism . "both as a build ing block for tourism and as a means of retaining recreation dollars in the region ," the stud y add s.

The ce n te r . expected t o become operational in May, ultimately aims to provide evaluation and services to persons who have Al~heimer's Disease and other forms of irreversible dementia. Six cent ers were funded across New York State. John Edwards, M.D., director of the ce nter and a U II ph ysician, says a nother important aim of the ce nter is to provide educational services for the co mmunit y as well as families, health cart workers. and others who deliver care to patients with these types of neurologic disorders. Diagnostic services will be provided at facilit ies a t Erie Co unty Medical Center while the center's administrative offices will be located at the Deaconess Center of the Buffalo General, Edwards says. Edwards, who is with UB's Depanments of Medicine and Family Med icine, notes the grant will help provide for assistance to a patient population for whom widespread, comprehensive services have not , been generally available. U bile many of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and other irreversible dementias are usually elderly, these conditions may also to a lesser degree be found among those who are middle-llged. .Edwards says the dison!ers appear to be more prevalent today SliDply because W people a re living longer. healthier lives. Also, he notes, the greater availabili ty of health services leads to more people being diagnosed. "Although irreversible dementias . such as Alzheimer's. are not a normal consequence of getting older, they do occur more frequently , among the elderly," he points out. He cau t io ns, however. that some patients may appear to have irreversible dementias which. in fact, ~ re treatable. Simply becoming forgetful in and of itself is not necessarily a sign of Alzheimer's Disease. "Certain medications or dosages. for insta nce, may be responsible for some symptoms which can be associa ted with irreversible dementi a, but," he explains, ~these symptoms disappear if the drug is discontinued or d osages altered ." There is no quick and easy way to diagnose Alzheimer's Disease o r some of the other progressive forms of dementia which cannot be reversed . "Definitive diagnosis is possible o nly at autopsy or through brain biopsy. Al~heimer's Disease is really a diagnosis by exclusion - elimination of all other possible reasons for the clinical picture prese nted b y the pat ient ," Edwards notes. W hile many ·diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementing illnesses of a neurologic nature are cared for at home by relatives, most may eventually require skilled nursing home care as the condition progresses to include physical deterioration as well. Ultimate aims of the center are to provide state-of-tbe-an diagnostic and assessment. services for all forms of · demetttia, including Alzheimer's Dis- ea.se: assure comprehensive deli\"erv of services including those provided patients and their families by community-based ocial and health care se rvice agencies: and help educate families, health providers. and the communit y about the dementias. In addition, evaluation will be con- "Alzheimer's Disease is really a diagnosis by exclusion - you must eliminate all other possible reasons for the clinical picture a patient presents.

The diagnost ic se rvi ces, Edwards explains, will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

D �February 11, 1988 Volume 19, No. 16 FSA, Sub-Board differ on control of land sale proceeds By JIM McMULLEN here's a dispute between the Faculty Student Association and Sub-Board I over $580,000 which came from FSA 's sale of a 489-acre parcel of land in October. A 1972 FSA resolution said th ose proceed< should go to Sub-Board. but Sub-Board was a division of FSA at the time. FSA contends that since it has maintained the land and made all decisions regarding the land in the past, including the decision to sell it, the proceeds belong to FSA. Additionally. the money FSA has paid in property tax. lost interest, and indirect costs is at least equal to the net proceeds from the sale, according to FSA board member T Kevin Seitz.. Both corporations want to use the money for st ud ent programming. but have different proposals regarding its investment and administration . SA proposes to invest the money in F stocks and bonds. ThaJ would pro· vide growth and stability, producing a stable interest income. Seitz explained . That interest income would be used ·for st udent programming, and adminis· tered by FSA 's own programming committee. Sub-Board would like to put the mone y in a trust fund and use the annual interest for two purposes : to adjust for inflation by addmg a percentage to the principal, and to finance student programming, said Barbara Nadrowski. Sub-Board treasurer. The interest would be governed by a board of directors comprised of SubBoard and FSA representatives, she added. The principal would no longer be under the complete control of FSA. The controversy stems from the fact that Sub-Board dido' exist when the land was purchased in 1964. At that time. FSA was responsible for the collection and distribution of student fees. according to Seitz. .. Back then :· Seitz 11otcd, ''t he organiza ti on of st·udents w~s not as rx:tensive as today. Students wereni allowed to control their money.·· Parking fees and fines By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO N ow that the University is making so much money on parking, how is the money being spent? And who decides how to spend it? Those questions were brought up at the Faculty Senate Executive Commit tee meeting, Feb. 3. There are two separate pools of money - one from parking lines and one from parking fees. he money from parking fines has to be spent on things related to traffic and parking lots, said Lee Griffin. director of Public Safety. The money is used for items such as pay for student aides. wages for the attorneys who hear parking cases, and patrol cars. The cars are no longer provided by SUNY, he noted . Other projects being considered include buying emergency telephones fo r th e parking lots. Or the money T For that reason, no records indicating the amount of student dollars used to purchase the land exist. Since then, Sub-Board has taken on the role of student fee comptroller, first as a division of FSA and later as a separate corporation. In 1972, the FSA board of directors passed a resolution mandating that proceeds from any sale of the land would pass into Sub-Board's control, which was still a division of FSA. Based on that resolution, Sub-Board now claims it should have control of the money. The resolution. however, can be changed by the current board of directors, Seitz noted . SA has two major reservations Sub-Board's proposal. FTheabout firs t is that $580,000 represents a substantial asset for FSA. By maintaining control of the funds , FSA maintains an important safeguard against financial disaster. Seitz explained. The land. originally slated for development as a golf course, has been held in reserve for emergency mortgage. The money would only be used in such an event, and any use of the principal would be on a loan basis, he added. The second reason is that FSA wants the interest income to be used as seed money for new projects. Sub-Board might use the income to fill in budget gaps for ongoing student programs, Settz noted . eitz is hopeful that compromise will bring a quick resolution of the conflict. S "I think we (FSA and Sub-Board) can come up with an agreement on where the interest will go each year and who will administer it, ... he said. "The goal of both organizations is the same, .. he noted ... We want to use the money as a base for generating funds for student programming." With that goal in mind. Sub-Board will meet o n Friday to discuss the issue . Seitz hopes the \wo groups can come up with a resolution for consideration 0 at FSA "s next meeting on Feb. 29. who's spending that money? might be used to bu y Cushman vehicles - small cars that would provide transponation for ticket writers in inclement weather and enable Public Safety to drive to lots and help motorists with minor problems such as dead batteries. There might also be a radio transmitter that would tell people where the y can find an empty parking space. "We ·hope someday to have UB running like Disneyworld ," Griffin said . One facully member noted that since Griffin's department benefits from the proceeds of ticketing, it could be a conflict of interest for him to control how the money is spent. It could also act as an incrntive for him to ticket more stringently. the professo r suggested. Griffin agreed that it could be • connict of interest. but he has control over day-to-day expenditures only. he said. Robert J . Wagner, vice president for University se rvices. must approve any large expenditures. Recommendations for projects come from the Personal Safety Committee, composed of faculty. staff. and stud ents. "We're not talking major dollars here ," Griffin added. Once expenses are taken care of, only about S60,000 or $70,000 will be left over for other projects, he predicted . (UB is still in its first year of collecting ticket fines .) While that's a significant amount of money to Griffin, it's not in the league with ot her costly University items such as a VAX or mainframe computer. he noted . separate account is kept for parking fees, said AI Ryszka. associate for campus services. The money is intended for projects to benefit the whole University. using recommendation~ from the President 's Task Force on Parking as guidelines. Up to this point . decisions have been made primarily in the Office of Finance and Management. he said. The money can be used for parking enforcement, parking administration, shuttles to distant parking lots. and vis- A itor information booths, he explained. For the fall semester, paid parking on the Amherst Campus brought in $41,700, Ryszka said, and so far this spring it has made $5,900. However. there's a one·time expense of about $45,000 for things such as the cash register. gates, and rails for the paid-parking lot. Once that expense is met, the money that's collected can be used for other projects. One project und er way now is a stud y of how many cars actually use the ca mpus. he said. The parking task force had strongly recommended such a stud y so that the actual problem, rather tha n the perceived problem. coulcr be addressed. Ryszka also mentioned that the bluelight emergency phone system and the "Disneyworld" approach to directing visi tors are being considered . Ryszka is now taking ove r the paid· lot for visitors on the Main Street Campus. Up to now. it was handled by the School of Dental Medicine , he said. 0 UB dentists conduct pioneering laser research By MARY BETH SPINA P ioneering dental research at UB shows that soft tissue lesions in the mouth can be successfully biopsied or removed on an outpatient basis using a pulsing carbon dioxide laser beam. Although the laser "tight knife" has been used to treat a variety of medical problems, its use in the oral cavity has up to now been largely limited to experimental surgery under general anesthetic. Charles Liebow, D.M .D., Ph.D ., told the Society of Optical and Quantum Electronics in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Dec. II that a UB team has successfully used the laser to treat 15 patients. Four had fibrotic outgrowths or "callouses;" four others bad hemangiomas; two were diagnosed with the potentially precancerous lesion leukoplakia; and five bad papillary byperplasta. The pulsing rather than continuous laser beam bas distinct advantages in the oral cavity, said Liebow, ·an 'issociate professor of oral surgery here. The continuous beam can produce inflllllllJiation in "bcalthy tissue adjacent to tbe lesion being removed . "Patients who underwent treatment with . the pulsing laser experienced no post-operative bleeding and little, if any, diS!'Omfort compared to what would be expected using traditional .su rgical procedures," he emphasized. Since the laser energy source, which literally boils and vaporizes tissue, can deliver a pulsing beam in 1/ IOO,OOOth of a second in an area as small as onetenth of a millimeter, small amounts of tissue can be treated. ..Microscopic capabilities combined with the laser give the oral surgeon a great deal of control in a precise manner which may not always be possible with traditional surgery methods," Liebow adds . Deep lesions can be lased in layers; intact btopsy samples can be removed · by using the laser to cut around and under tissue in a pieshaped wedge. "While the carbon dioxide laser has proved itself successful as a surgeon's tool in the oral cavity, I don' anticipate every oral surgeon will use it," Liebow said. He believes cases which can benefit most from the laser will be referred to tertiary dental centers where clinicians specially trained in its use will perform the procedure. Laser treatment does not appear applicable for oral surgery involving bone nor may it be recommended for certain other procedures in the mouth, Liebow said. The UB team has, bowever, used the carbon dioxide laser to . treat one case of periodontal disease with good results. Liebow said the researchers in U B's Department of Oral Surgery are involved in othe r ongoing rese ..... . l that may expand applications of laser technology in the oral cavity in the near future.

"Although for many abortion is strictly a moral issue, Major's research is designed to look at it as a scientific issue. Expectations affect reactions to abortion By SUE WUETCHER om~n who expect to cope well before having an abonion repon significantly fewer psychological and . phystcal problems after having one than women who expect to cope poorly, a UB psychologist says. Research conducted by Brenda Major, Ph.D. , associate professor of psychology. and two former UB colleagues also indicates that counseling before an abonion can affect a woman's ability to cope with the procedure. Major, a member of the faculty here since 1978, recently presented her research during a meeting with staff members of U.S . Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. Koop has been directed by President Reagan to write a repon. to be issued this summer, on the psychologtcal effects of abon10n. Leonard D. Goodstein, Ph.D .. executive vice president and chief executive officer of the American Psychological Assoc1at1on, the group that asked Major to testify, notes that her research "stands out as the best theoretically based and methodologically sound research in the field." W A It hough for many abortion is stnctly a_ mor~l issue, Major says her res_ear~h 1~ des1gned to approach it as a sc•enufic tssue . .. My primary interest in this research has been theoretical; specifically, what are the psychological factors that predict how people will cope with a variety of negative life events." she says. "Uninten ded pregnancy resulting in abortion is, for many women, a negative life event. I'm trying to predict which women might be at risk, which m1ght have troubles (coping with an abonion)." In two studies co nducted at the Erie Medical Center in Buffalo, Major and Pallas Mueller, a former UB graduate student and counselor at the Medical Center, who is now a clinical psychologist at the Salem Veterans Centers in Salem Oregon, interviewed more than women before and immediately after they underwent abortions. The researchers also questioned 179 women who returned to the clinic three weeks later for a checkup. A third UB psychologist, Katherine Hildebrandt, a former assistant professor of psychology who is now on the faculty at West Virginia University, was a co-investigator with Major and Mueller in the first of the two studies. 600 this initial study, conducted in Ithen1983 and published in 1985, researcbers examined the role of several theoretical factors in coping with abortion, including blame for the pregnancy - particularly self-blame and expectations for coping. The women who agreed to participate in the study were given questionnaires to fill out before undergoing their abortions . Tbe questionnaires assessed attributions - whether they blamed their pregnancies on some aspect of their character (an aspect of themselves that cannot . be changed), behavior (an aspect that can be changed), chance, •· the situstiotf · lbey found themselves in, or someone else; expectations for . tbe abortion; intentionalit:f' of the pregnancy; and demographic factors such as age and religion. During a recovery period of several hours . after the abortion, the participants were asked to complete a second questionnaire that assessed physical complaints: mood ; anticipated conse· quences of the abonion - the degree to which the women anticipated bad things would happen in the future; and depression. It was clear from the study that the majority of the participants were coping well with their abortions. Major says. · hile a few women reponed physical complaints. relief was the overwhelming emotional state, she says. About 15 per cent of the women reported moderate to severe depressio n, which Major says is a fairly low rate. comparable to that found in the general population of women, and lower than the typical postpartum depression rate. Women who returned to the clinic for a follow-up checkup three weeks after their abortions again were questioned about their mood. anticipation of negative consequences, and depression. Researchers found the women were coping even better three weeks after the procedure, Major says. The study, she says, verified the researchers' initial predictions: That women who blamed their pregnancies on an aspect of their character were coping significantly worse immediately after their abortions, and that women who expected to cope well, in fact , did. In the three-week follow-up, the expectation data held up, but the blame data did not predict lon11-term effects, Major says. The beneficial aspects of high coping expectations persisted, but women who blamed thpir characters coped only somewhat less well than women who blamed their behavior. "The effects of attributions (blame) are more short-term, in a sense, .. she says. W T be aim of the second study, con·ducted in 1985, was to determine if women could learn through counseling to raise ·their expectations and not blame their characters, Major says. Participants were divided into three counseling gi'ou~s . before undergoing their abonions. The first group heard a seven-minute talk aimed at getting th e women to raise their coping expectations. the second heard a seven-minute talk o n the imponance of not blaming their characters fOr their pregnancies, and the third heard a standard talk about the clinic. binh control. and abonion. The y also completed questionnaires that made the sa me basic assessments as those used in the first study. Major says the results of the second stud y mimic those of the first: Women who expected to cope well did, and women who blamed their pregnancies on their character coped worse. But counseling also made a difference. she adds. "Can yo u affect coping by treatment? The answer is yes.'' The group that heard the expectations talk fared the best, she says. These women were significantly less depressed , anticipaled fewer negative consequences. reponed fewer physical complaints, and we;s..,in a somewhat better moo<l--tlttnnnembers of the control group that heard the standard binh co ntrol talk, she says. The self<haracter group fell between the two other groups, with members faring better than the control group but not as well as the expectation group, she says. However, the data indicated that three weeks later: treatment no longer mattered in coping, she says, citing the much reduced sample as a possible reason for the results. Th~ research did show that "having pos1Uve expectauons matters, and that a little seven-minute talk makes a difference (in coping), at least in the short-run," Major says. She also found that demographic factors were -relatively unimporumt in determining women's ability to cope. "People who try to induce guilt (over abortions), who use techniques strategically aimed at getting people to believe they woo 't cope, are undermining women's ability to cope," she says. M ajor co ntinues to research orher abortion-related issues. including how social support - whom women tell about their abonions - predicts coptng. She_IS also developing comparative studtes on other options to abortions. There is no documented research comparing the psychological effects of abonion to the psychological effects of keeping the baby or putting it up for adopuon. she says. And while much has been written on the psychological effects of abonion. little of that i nformati on is methodologically sound and regarded as useful by scientists. she notes. Some of this research includes ministers sharing Jeuers they received from women who had bad abortion experience s and information culled from newspaper ads seeking women who have had negative expenences. Few psychologists in the United States are researching the issue, and information from European studies is not particularly relevant in this country because of the different culture. "How you cop<! '(with abortion) in pan is shaped by how your culture views it," J;M says. "Responses of women in Europe are not particularly germane in the United States."

New club wants to revive fencing here L! By JIM McMULLEN E ver have d1tydreams of dueling like Errol Flynn? How abo ut Zarro? You can lea rn how as a member of the UB Fencing Club. The new Student Association club will have its first regular meeting of the se mester at 7 tonight in 355 Fillmore. Membership is open to all UB st udents. fac ulty, and staff. The clu b's first practice is schedu led for 6 to 8 p.m. Friday in t he Recreation and Athletics Co mplex. But don't look for the fen cers in a regular room. They11 be practicing in the hallway. outside the gymn astics rooms. Sound a little unorthodox? Well, at first glance, the club might seem a little unusual, too. "Probab ly 80 per ce nt of ou r members have no experience in fcnc· ing," said club president Jon Evans. That figure is n't so unu sual when you consider that there are only two local fencing organizations, the Amherst Fencers and Les Amis. Some of the U B club members who have ex perience, including club vice preside nt Andrew Van Etten, got it with those clubs. Those members will act as coaches fo r some 40 novice members of the club, a t least until the team is ab le to get a regular coach . Evans and fellow club members hope that happens soo n. The even tu al goal of the club, to achieve varsity spans status and take p'art in NCAA competitions, will require rigorous training and a great deal of expert guidance. or now. the plan is to start wi th F o ne weapon, the foil (a long, thin blade), and eventually train with th e sabre (Errol Flynn's weapon of choice) and the epee (similar to the fa mil iar foil). ' The club curre ntl y has protective jackets and masks. but its growth will requ ire add itional equipment. Club officers are negotiating with Fredonia State College for a gift of leftover equipment from that school's nowdefu nct fencing team. Evans and Van Etten related. That deal is at an impasse right now, however, due to Fredonia's concerns over recognizing a student organizati on as responsible for the gea r. Hopefully. th ose problems will be overcome soon through the imervcn· ti on of Dennis Bl ack, associate provost for student affairs, club ad visor Devon Bowen. and others. The club's present equipment once belonged to the original UB varsity fencing team, which existed until the mid-1 970s. The team was organized' in the mid-1930s by Philip Wels, now a clinical professor of surgery here and a me mber of the UB Council. Wels, who captained the team in 1935 and 1936. was an expert in three weapons, a .. very rare feat ." acco rding to Van Etten. Wels was ranked eighth UB Night at the Philharmonic scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20 "N ever before has there been such a joint ven.tur4? wh~re the UB commumty ts gomg to Kleinh ans for a Buffalo Philharmonic concert ," said Judy Zuckerman, director of the Office of Confe rences and Special Events.

Evans remarked. Schwartz' death in the ea rl y 1970s. along with a general decline of interest in fencing in the New England states. led to the demise of the fenci ng team interest to the Division of Athletics.

HAMRIC Trade Book Manager, University Bookstore �V1e~~ o_ ·m_ G_________ Get out into the world, urges a student who took a working tour of Korea By WILLIAM G. SANDLER In the spring semester of 1983, I took an undergraduate history class here at UB with Professor Michael Frisch, the title: "U.S. Cities." Dr. Frisch required all his stud ents to keep a "journal" of things we observed here in Buffalo, as well as other cities. In my journal, I focused on immigrants in U.S. cities, especially Koreans in New York City. I had become very impressed with the rate at which many Korean families come to the U.S .. with limited language skills, and often little money, and, notwithstanding major cultural barriers, become successful. I wrote my semester paper on the phenomenon of the Koreans dominat ing the operation of New York's fruit and grocery shops. Throughout the remainder of my college education, the Pacific Rim countries received tremendous media attention. Japan. Hong Kong. Taiwan, Singapore, and Korea. among others, were being hailed for their tremendous productivity, low crime rates, top-flight education, and domestic cooperation . At the same time, many of these countries were, and continue to be, blamed for economic - panicularly, labor - problems here at home. During my second year of law school, I began studying the Korean language ( Hangul, with Mrs. Cho) with a view toward visiting that nation and other parts of Asia. and living and working th ere. At the time. it seemed that landing a job in Korea. or anywhere else in Asia, was a long shot at best. To enhance my chances I offered, in my cover letters, to pay for my own transportation costs to and from ' Asia, and for my living arrangements and costs while in. Korea. I demanded nothing but an opportunity in return. This was the "you have nothing to lose by hiring me" approach. Much to my pleasure and surprise, a large and very reputable Korean law firm welcomed me to come to work in their offices in Seoul. The finn handles a wide- array_ ~f W?rk including inlemational joint ventures, licensing agreements, banking, secunt1es, msurance~related work, patents, copyrights, and trademarks, among scores of other types of legal and business transactions. Working in that office broadened honzons, on a personal level and also in terms of my forthcoming career in As1an law and trade. I have returned to prepare for the bar examinations to come. but hope to return to work in Asia in the future . The purpose of this artide is twofold . First, to persuade students at this University to t~e advantage of the w1de range of opponunities that exist in many places outstde the U.S.A. And second, to tell the UB community a little bit about Korea. the Korean people, and living in Seoul. mx I Overview of Recent Political History When I arrived in Seoul last May, the president of Korea was Chun Doo H wan. Chun, a general in the Korean military for many years, took power from former President Park by military ' force. ln the course of doing so, he killed many students (the numbers are disputed to this day) who were protesting the military in Kwangju, a city so uth of Seoul. For years, the young people of Korea have harbored a hatred for Chun, a hatred which has been heightened recently by his use of a powerful civilian police force . ln 1979, Chun agreed to open negotiations for constitutional revision with This woman is smg;ng and clapping about lhe high quality (questionable). and the low price (delinflely), of l>ef goods. the goal of holding fair and open elections for Korea's next president in 1987. He promised to voluntarily step down at that time to make way for a democratieally elected leader. But a lack of details about how the elections would be administered, wide disagree~ ment over constitutional reform , a state controlled press, the arrest and detention of the politieal opposition, and the lack of an election date motivated South Korea's young people into a wave of violent demonstrations last summer. That is precisely when I arrived in Seoul. One week after my arrival, Chun announced that the constitutional revi· sion negotiations, and hence the elections, would be tabled until after the Olympic Games are staged in Seoul in 1988 . Upon hearing that, the Korean people, not just the radical students A view from the 1Olh Iloot of a building above Chongro as people wete running from the rial ·police .with their clubs and tear gas. now, felt that the Olympic Games were being used as a convenient tool of the government to deprive them of the long-awaited elections. Immediately, the people took to the streets in protest. They began peacefully, wavtng signs and chanting, but it soon turned to violence. Chun responded to the peaceful protests consistent with his military past; he placed thousands of armed police all over the streets of Seoul, and began an offensive tear gas campaign. In my first week , one student had his neck broken over a bathtub by police who were interrogating/ torturing him. and seve ral others were blinded by "Pepper Gas." I had to leave the campus of Yonsei University where I was studying Korean because of the constan t riots there. Later in the summer. a Yonsei student was killed when fragments of a tear gas shell went through his skull and into his brain. I, too, was once hit in the leg with some shell particles, but was not injured. President Ch un and the Korean people were not working well together. The Korean economy began to suffer. The otherwise: politically inactive middle class began to sympathize with the radieal st udents who planned and staged the riots. In the middle pf th is past summer, Ch un appointed a close associate of his from the military, Roh Tae Woo. to the presidency, and told the Korean people that he had been "elected " by the R.D. P. (R uling Democratic Party). The government's "celebration" of this sham victory was viewed as arrogant by the people, and lhe rioting worsened. Altho~gh Roh tried to distance himself from Chun, the Korean people were fed up. Something had to break, and it did . Either Chun was going to institute mar· tial Jaw with strict curfew requirements. or he was going to have to ""give in" to the opposition (which, by now, was most of the country). Had he cho!i<n the former option, the 1988 Olympic Games probably would have been moved to another country, Korea's treme ndous economic growth would ' have . been put in serious jeopardy, and the nots would have contmued, per~ haps getting worse still. Chun had Rob Tae Woo announce broad-based reforms. These included revision of the constitution allowing for open elections in December, 1987; revised press laws affording greater freedom of expression; reduced use of tear gas and ctvitian police forces ; the release of potitieal pnsoners, and a host of other concessions. He promised to sit down and talk with the opposition (instead of exiling them) and to help Korean politics catch up with the great economic advances of the past two decades. On the evenil)g of that announcement. American reporters and photographers visited the bars at Shinchon, the area around Yonsei Universit y, looking for celebrations. Instead, th" found some people bitter about tho · death of their classmate. and othe rs deeply suspicio us about whether tho announcements for reform would become reality. I Then Widespread Labor Strikes Hit Most Korean Industries The Korean people were learning th ai rioting and taking to the streets get results. This was quite exciting for me si nce in America, political change seems to be the product of the lobb ytn~ ~!Torts of politieal action committees '" Washington. It was the tough stance ol Korean labor, coupled with discontem over stagnant wages in the face of dou · ble digit growth and profits, that set ofl a great wave of strikes and labor related riots. All the political problem s of the day were' blceding into each other without clear beginnings or ends to any of them. Hyundai, Goldstar, Daewoo, Samsung, as well as banks and insurance companies, were crippled by striking workers. Many of these strikes turned to violence when riot police were ealled in, and there were many injuries. fires . even deaths. As a recent student of U.S. labor law, I watched these event > and noticed striking similarities to the development of labor un ions in Amer~ ica late in the 19th, and early in this ce ntury. In Korea, there seemed to be fewer individual "heroes" such as Eugene Debs or Ralph Nader. Instead there was more solidarity and concerted action. Often you co uld hear thousand' of people chanting slogans in the streL" I' of Seoul as if they had practiced together for weeks. If learning a ne" language and culture, negotiating th e subways and buses, and finding my next meal were not adventure enough for me, the political tumult certainly was. Much Change I Too At Once? Concurrent with the labor disputes, there were social and cultural disagreements within Korean society. Many traditions and values were being eroded by the Westernization ·or a very Eastern culture. Many Korean elders resented the demonstration of disrespect by the young who chose not to use the honorific form of their language. Traditional Korean weddings were being given up for "Western style" weddings, and arranged marriages, long the accepted standard, were being met by growmg dissatisfaction among Korean youth.

J had to �February 11, 1988 Volume 19, No. 16 The opinions exptessed m "Vrewpoints" Pteees are those of the writers and not necessarily those of the Reporter. We welcome your comments I Korea Had Its First Open Democratic Elections in 17 Years Rob Tae Woo won the Presidency this past December in the first openl y held democratic elections since 1971. While Rob was not the most popular candidate because of his mihtary ties to Chun, the opposition leaders could not agree on a smgle candidate, and their vo te was fragmented. Rob won the election with just 35 per cent of the popular vote. But the riots have quieted , and Seoul will be a wonderful host for the 1988 Olympic Games. I The Olympic Facilities Are Mind-Blowing The Korean government and people ali ke are determined to stage the mos1 tmpressive Olympiad in the h.istory of the Games, and tt loo ks like they will do so. The Olympic Stadium is not o nly massive, but its architecture and the use of colors are brilliant. The running tracks are all being fresh ly cut alongside the Han River, and the Veladrome (with its banked walls for bicycling) is brand new and beautiful. In readiness for Olympic visitors, most of the subways in Seoul have color coded stickers that correspond wi th particular events and clear diagrams differentiating boxing from tennis, track & field, etc. The tax i drivers (Korean cab drivers are more reckless than New York City cabbies, but not as mad a:s cabbies in Bangkok) listen to English language tapes and will try to get some practice in with you as you ride. The average cab fare is equal to about S I U.S. There is generally no . tipping in Korea. Exactly one year before the openmg of the games, the traffic circle in front of Seoul's City Hall was closed to pedestrian traffic for a great celebration. There were huncireds--of dancers and singers, and a Tae K won Do (Korean martial art) demonstration performed by scores of children who we re each about six years old. The Korean people are psyched for the upcomi ng Olympics, and there will be plenty of hotel space. The People of Seoul Are Most Often Friendly I o be honest, I must say that I found the people and pace of Seoul to be the most aggressive l have ever seen, by far. This includes Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taipei, New York, Los Angeles, Newark, etc. If the average pe rson in Seoul decides he is going to board the bus or subway before you, th at is exactly what will happen. If it takes physically moving you out of the A butcherin Kowloon (Bcljacent to Hong Kong) 1 S bringing his QOOdS into a smol<ing house. It 'na y 1101/ook appetizlnQ, but the slleets smelt 1000 - excellent food is being preparBCI. way, so be it. The city of Seoul is so full of buses that it seems like some kind of experiment; at any given time . you can see 60 or 70 buses. The buses are numbered , and the numbers begin at one. I have seen up to number 757. Each of these numbers represents a coute, of course, which was breathtaking in October at the height of its autumn colors. For novice climbers like me, there is a cable car which pulls people up the mountain top. It feels like the top of the world . Since Korea is over 5,000 years old, there are scores of museums, and folk and on each route there are I 0 or 12 villages around the country and in cities other than Seoul. Off the southern buses. The buses never seem to come to a complete stop. You arc: either runn ing tip of the nation lies a tropical island to catch one, or jumping off one. It is a pretty intense experience, but not up to the level of th e Tokyo Subway where it is so crowded that professional pushers have to squeeze you into the trains. One time whe n I was in Tokyo, the subway car was so crowded that breathing itself was an exercise:. Even thougb To kyo's public transit system is more crowded , it somehow seems more organized and efficient than in Seoul. The Japanese wait for people to exit the train at each stop before boarding, whereas boarding a busy train in Seoul is more like a football scrimmage. Actually, Seoul's public transit system is well developed and seems to run quite efficiently. It is very inexpensive to get around Seoul, or even out to the beautiful countryside. For instance, a magnificent swimming and suriing beach called Tae Chun is about two hours out of the city by train. The roundtrip fare is about $6 U.S. The beach itself, of course, is free. Being physically close to others does not seem to bother the people of Seoul. I have had strangers walk under my umbrella to keep themselves out of th e rai n, and very many people, women and men alike, hold hands .as they walk down the street. In almost aJJ nontransit situations, Korean strangers will offer you a cigarette. or if in a bar. to buy you a drink. Soju, the most famous liquor in Korea tastes like vodka and is as strong, but costs about 50 cents a bottle. Men, especially young ones, get together all the time and drink it in a ceremonial fashion in shot glasses. After a person takes a shot, . he passes the shot glass to the person snting to his left; they fill each other's glasses and then do it again. It is considered rude in Korea to fill your ow\\ glass when you are drinlc.ing with another person. I had some of my best times with buued people in Seoul because they were less scared to make mistakes when speaking English and really let it rip. I guess the same was true with me and my Korean. called Chedu Do. Some parts of the island are sharp and volcanic-like, and yet other parts have fine white sand along crystal clear beaches. The people in Chedu Do seemed even fnendher than Koreans from the mainland . The local people spoke a little different dialect, and even looked different than the mainlan<tt:rs. The men were taller, and the women more buxom . Chedu Do was wonderful , somewhat reminiscent of Hawaii . Korean People Are Competitive I Very On almost every street corner in Seoul there is a machine in which you place a 100 won coin (abo ut eight cents) and then punch a padded arm. The harder you punch it, the higher the score that is registered on its lights. Whenever the noise from that punching machine starts to ring, an instant crowd of Korean men gather, read y to challenge the user. To earn (or lose) a quick buck, all l had to do was to put myself in arm wrestling position at one of the open markets. In minutes, there would be chun won " (a bout S2.50). Very many young Koreans play "takoo," or table tennis. They hold the table tenms paddle upside down and arc horrifically spinning balls at one ~nother.

Hofer has had to use all her skills just to ge t the same resu lts of earlier years. That's because UB's women , just like the men, are now playing a Division II, rat her th a n Ill . schedule.

Record setter Hofer has chance at several more By FRANK BAKER hen Ca roline Hofer came to U B fou r yea rs ago, she had no idea that she would go on to set school records for women's basketball. After all, she was just a gangly freshman who had not been recruited and had only two years of basketball experience. What a difference a few yea rs can make. Now. as a senior. Hofer has become o nly the second woman in UB's history to record be tt er than 1.000 career points. That mileslOne came last Sunday in the Royals' 70-67 overtime loss to Queens College in which Hofer had 14 points and 19 rebounds. · With her 7-point tally in Monday's 59· 52 loss to Ca nisius, Hofer needs to score just 11 5 points in the next eigh t games to become UB's all-time leading women's scorer. If she does so. she will pass Janet Lilley's ca reer standard of 1.127 points set from 1977·81. Hofer established a U B record for career blocked shots - 101 - with the two rejections she recorded Monday. In addition to that. the 6'1" center has a chance to set career records in five other areas including career field goals and W "Caroline is the captain of the team and the nucleus of its inside game." However, after a dismal 1-8 start. the team has come back to win four of its last seven games and has improved its record to 5·1 I. ofer is one of th e main reasons for the improvement. .. Caroline is the · captain of the team and the nucleus of our inside game. " said Harvey. "As she goes. so goes the team. On nights when she's played well. we'Ve played well. and vice-versa." Hofer admi ts that at times this year. it 's been bard fo r her to get psyched about playi ng. "It's hard to get motivated to play when yo u know you ca n ' go on to the post-seaso n," she said . (The R oyals are ineligib le for post· season play because of the ath letic upgrade.) Desp ite that d isappoi nt ment, Hofer still h as so me definite goals she wo uld like tbe team to reach befo re she end s her career. "I would like us to con t inue ou r c urre nt wi nning streak and to h ave a wi nning re~ord in th e (M ideast) Confer· e nce, •• she said. Regardl ess of th e fac t th a t none of th e teams she has played on at UB have been better th an .500, Hofe r said she 's h a ppy with her decision to co me here. " I'm h a ppy wit h the way th at thi ngs have worked o ut," she said . " If I were on a 25.{) tea m it would probably mean a lot more running and work. " I like t o have fun." UB fans a re glad she decided to have her fun here. 0 H games p l ayed. S h e already has her name etched in th e record books for most poi nts in a season (395) and most field ~ goals in a season ( 169). Both records were " set last year. 0 i espite the accolades that have co me her way, Hofer seems both oblivious to t he records and modest about her accomplishments. "I had no idea this co uld happen to me when I firs t came here, .. she admitted . " I really did n' think I wou ld get to play much." That's because she was told by her coach, Ed Muto, that he didn' expect to use her all that much her freshman year. As it turned out , Hofe r staned that year. And she has never looked back . "Caro line was n 't a t op rec r uit." recalled present head coach Nan H arvey, who was an assistant coach when H ofer en tered U B. "' But she has imp roved a grea t deal. "Knowing he r limi ted experience in D Caroline Hofer sinks one against Queens. high school and what she has accomplished he re - really shows how much potential she had," Harvey says. Hofer agrees wi t h her coach's evaluation. " I knew I'd have to develop more if I wanted to play a lot." she said. ""But I really haven't put in that much ext ra work. Everything I have done (in bas· ke tball) has just come natu rally." Last year. all her natural talent came together as Hofer was named the State University of New York Athletic Con· ference (SUNY A C) Player of the Year and was selected t o the AII·New York State Team f~r the Upstate Region. ust a few years ago, whe n she was a stude nt at James E. S pe rry High JSchool in He nriett a, N.Y., Hofe r was a far c ry fro m bei ng one of t he prem ie r woman p layers in the St a te. As a m a tter of fact, she recalls not being anythi ng more t han a sho t blocke r on her high school team. " I was the t allest girl in school, so they asked me to play," she reme m· be red. "I couldn' d ribb le or d o a ny of the other thi ngs the smaller gi rls. did ." Hofer's record -setting st in t at UB ill us· trates the fact that she has p rogressed greatly si nce her high school d ays. Harvey 's comm ents on Ho fer's style of play reinforce t he notion that any trace of an awkward adolescent is gone from her st ar player's ga me.

The student, charged with falsely reporting an incident in the third degree, is now receiving counseli ng. She told Public Safety Inspector Daniel Jay and Senior Investigator Frank Panek that shortly before 12: 15 a.m. Feb.

Upon questioning, the student admit· ted she fabricated the story but not before some 15 police had been called ' and scoured the area into which fhe young man had allegedly fled . Public Safety Director Lee Griffin said the student indicated she was having family problems and was directed to receive counseling. Sbe is set to appear later this month in Amherst Town Court.

In addition, those who tie up police time with such incidents are taking officers away on a wild-j!oose chase when they may be delayed to answering a real call.

Or. they'd tmpon em pt y bonles from Europe and r.nth<m themselves. '-'~111cc there was a high illiteracy rate , p<oplc recognized the shape of bonles a_, more than they recognized the wording of labels. Godfrey's Cordial was known by its long, thin bonles. Bateman 's Drops carne in a bonle shaped like an invened cone. The bottle for Turlington 's Balsam of Life was expensive to produce. It had a complicated and irregular shape in an ancmpt 10 protect against forgery. Unfortuna tel y . Harr is said. glassblowers could get away with slop'pv imitat io ns. If a bottle had irregula·r sides, people assumed it was Turlington's. I t wasn 't until the C ivil War that Americans fully broke away from European manufacturers. At the sa me time. American preparatio ns. wh ic h had been regi o nal products up to that time. were able to expand their sales territories. Transponation had been slow and expensive. With the adve nt of the rail road, transportation became fast and cheap. Faster presses made the printing of ads, brochures, and posters cheaper, too. Some manufacturers staned spending a small fonune on ads. Harris said. Some went so far as to bUy the newspaper company so they could run their ads free and make sure there were no articles that might damage their product. And so ldiers coming home fro m the war brought preparations that had worked for them. There were possi bl y as many as 100.000 or 200,000 patent medicines in the U.S . at the end of the 19th century, Harris noted . "Anybody co uld make and se ll a patent medicine. " he emphas1zed . Y ~lll didn' need federal approval or studtes to see if it was safe or effecuve. although so me early manufacturers were very ethical and tri ed to get feedback on deleterious effects. It was a way to make a living - if yo u got hurt -on the railroad or your business failed. you could always sell patent medicines. T he traveling salesmen often prepared the medicines in their hotel rooms . They'd buy the ingredients from the local pharmacist and use a dresser drawer to coat the pills to prevent them from sticking together. In the 19th century , there was no clear dividing line between patent medici ne and prescription medicine, Harris said . A prescription was merely a conve nience between the ph ysician and pharmacist . In the 19th century, anybody could order mo rphine. he explained. They just had to sign the poiso n register book which listed who bought the item and th e reason for the purchase. Some would list reasons such as diarrhea. but o thers would M: ho nest and write "habit." Drug abuse -was a problem of the 19th century, Harris noted . He told of a family in Delaware who recently remodeled their house and found 3,000 bollles buried in the basement. A previous owner probably was affiicted with an alcohol or opium habit over a period of SO years, Harris said. Paten medicines often con tai n ed ingredien we consider shocking roday. Cocaine was used against tuberculosis because it relieved the pain, he said . Mother Hunt's Baby Syrup contained opium. It would relieve colic and teething pain by pulli ng the baby to sleep. "The trouble was that it would put the baby to slee p permanently when used in excess." Harris noted . pium was popular because people didn' have drugs such as aspirin then , he explained. Morphine became favored over o pium around the time of -the Civil War. Then it was disc ove red that morph ine is just as addicting as opiu m . Then heroin. an even more potem opiate, became popula r at the end of the 19th century. Harris said. h was used in cough sy rups and was conside red a beuer. safer opiate . By the 20th century . it was realized th at anythi ng in that chemical family would be addictive. "We still think we can have drugs without si de effects," H a rr is commented . " We want to believe it and it's being pro mo ted by the manu fac turers." 0 P atent medicines also were often high in alcohol. Perry Davis Pain Killer. on display in UB's Pharmacy Museum. claimed to relieve cram ps. colic ... diarrhoea ," chills. colds. muscle strains and sprains, insect stings and minor injuries. lt contained 5 I per cent alcohol - that's 102 proof!

And th e s ho tgun approach to medication was po pular. he said . Whether it was patent med ic ine or prescripti<?n. th e medication was probably a co mbm at ion of the five o r ten ingredients most likel y 10 wo rk . . This approach dates back to prehiStoric s hamans and herb women. he explained . The rationale is that a more compl icated preparation must be more beneficial than a single ingredient. The patent medicine manufacturers liked the approach, too, because the mo re ingredien ts a medicine contai ned , the more it cost, and the mo re profit they'd make, he noted . The way medicines are sold today is similar to what was done 100 years ago, Harris said. "They're sull selli ng a product with out regard to its true conten t,~ he said. "They're selli ng a particular brand ." Go into a drugstore and look at the rows and rows of different cold remedies. There are many different brand names. but only abou t four different ingredients in all of those boHies. Yet pe'!J'Ie will swear that one brand is bater.

Currently. he's the chairman of the Communicative Disorders and Sciences Depanment at UB. Although the mild-mannered Henderson is as much at ease talking about his days playing football at Western Washington State College as he is talking about his expenise in the field of hearing-Joss study. it is the latter that has earned him more than a dozen grants and awards and brought him to this University. "Dr. Henderson is an international leader in the field of audiology." said Ross MacKinnon , dean of Social Sciences .... He has given the depanment international recognition . For starters, Henderson. along wi th his p_anner. Richard Salvi, Ph . D. , has received a grant from the Centers for Disease Control to continue their research on the effects of impulse noise on the auditory system. The funding. worth over S 160 ,000. will enable Henderson to continue the work he Henderson is a "real catch for UB," the dean of Social Sciences submits. ... He was looking to come home and we were eager to have him. staned with Salvi in 1970. The stud y explores the interaction of noise and certain drugs, such as aspirin. and their effect on hearing. "We already know that large doses of aspirin can lead to a ringing in the ears and some hearing loss:· said Hend erson . .. We want to see if there's more loss when noise is combined with the drug." Henderson and Salvi have been working on the drug experiment for two years and plan to continue it for "ano ther couple of years... said Henderson . In addition to that grant. Henderson has four others - two each from the federal government and the private sec- opment," said the graduate of the University of Texas-Austin.

Good fonune played an imponant role in that decision, Dean MacKinnon said. Hender- W son, who grew up in nearby Hamilton, Ont.. was ready for a return to his home area. and the University was eager to further develop its communicallve disorders program . .. He's a rhal catch for the Umversity,- MacKinnoL added . The Universi ty agreed to upgrade some laboratory facilities on the Main Street Campus for Henderson's research projects and to allow Henderson to bring along Salvi, two research associates, and four graduate students. In return. U B acquired a depanment head . and Henderson brought his entire lab up from Dallas. This un iq ue mo ve. which included bringing up an acous- tics lab - soundproof booths. speak- ers. and sound projection machines . among o ther things - as well as a hearing Jab, physiology Jab, and anatomy Jab. was made possi ble because of the grants , said Henderson. ''The labs were put together in Texas through the grants."' he noted . "All we had to do was transfer the grants up here." The University did such a fine job with improvements to the Parker Hall facilities that. as Hende rson puis it. U B now "has one of the best physical facili- ties in the nation .. in .this field. "I liked the idea of coming back to the area, ... said Henderson, who now lives in Clarence. As a matter of fact. " I almost came to UB as an undergraduate to play football."

Japan was the most expensive country I traveled thro~. A simple lunch in Tolcyo cost over $25 -and a 12ounce can of beer was over $5.

U B has afforded Henderson the opportunity to do what he does best : study hearing loss. "We need to make people aware of the hazards of noise on the auditory system," said Henderson. One way he bas done this is through a study he and his colleagues did for the Army on the effects of gunfire on hearing . Among other th ings, the scientists found that shon bursts of gunfire can be more hazardous to hear- about crime. Amazing .

For the future. Henderson said that. "I also want to expand the research base here." added Henderson. I n addition to those goals, Henderson said he is working on a center for augmentative communication at the University. "Many people who have had an accident or have cerebral palsy have the intellectual capability to comm unicate. but just can't get the output," he said. By establishing a center for research into that problem not only would UB be able to help many Western New Yorkers. but it could also become "a national leader in the area." predicted Henderson . A more current plan of Henderson's is 10 work with UB .tudents who suffer from this disorder. " I would like to see us establish a clinic."' he said. "There's already a proposal into the State to work with 10 students so we can try to develop improved ways for them to communicate."' • Finally. in an attempt to attract some of Western New York's top high school students to UB. Henderson would like to develop an internship program · for them on campus.

"She was happily married, and thought that everyone else should be, too. "She also knew a .lot of single Greek men, all of whom that "The course of true love never did run smooth." Sad but true. The Reporter recently asked members of the UB community to "tell the story of the worst date you've ever been on. " Just about everybody we asked - without hesitation - had a story to tell. SAlIT VAUn.'SDAY ~~--Anybody who's been out on more than three dates has probably been dumped - at least twtce. One fellow recalls that the blow came on Valentine's Day. He arrived at his girlfriend's apartment to take her out as planned. Her roommate greeted him at the door and told him that his beloved had gone out with another guy. Happy Valentine's Day! were }orgeous - in his teeth since 7 o'clock? But how much could go wrong in one evening? One participant in our survey recalls the night be took a date to Niagara Falls. They'd been there for five minutes when the heel of her shoe broke off. That wasn't enough to spoil the evening. Next, they spotted a furry little animal crawling around the observation deck. Just as his date was calling "Here kitty, kitty," they realized that the cute little critter was a huge rat. Soon the rat was joined by another - then more. As he ran, and she bobbled to the car, a half mile away, it began to rain. Still, they were having a good time. So they decided to go out for dinner. Eating in front of a woman you want to impress is always an awkward affair. Our hero rose to the challenge by catapulting his soup onto her lap. Was that embarrassing?

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Normally, the Un.M:rsify gives the . architect a lengthy descri~;>tiott-4 .what a building should be like, and the architect designs it from scratch. To speed up the process, UB offiCials are suggesting a particular building t)'{"'. They've also set out some guiding pnnciples for construCtion: • • Then: should be a central service corridor "aDd exterior spaces to provide room for ppes, ducts, and wiring. • Tbere should be miuimal finishes to provide flexibility. . • Tbe building should be designed to aUow any S_P.a<C to be converted into wet lab space if needed. Officials want to hurry the project along because there's a growiug need for research space in the Medical Schoo( · Tbe University ·bad planned a major renovation of Cary-Fatber-Sberman, but tbe complex docsn' lend itself to the type of renovation requiJecl. tonus said. For example, there isn' enough • See~. - 2 �f'ellr'*Y ... 1 v.-11,No.15 CONSTRUCTION•IIIil·----· room between the ceiling and floor for all of tbc pipes for electricity, gas, water, sewage, beating, cooling, a~d ventilation. Wet labs, which use spa:tal fume hoods and sinks, need more pipes than office buildings do. The 150,000 net-square-foot research building will be big - about 50 per cent larger than the Cary-FarberSherman addition. lt11 be almost as large as the Recreation and Athletics Complex. It must connect to the Cary-FarberSherman addition a nd that poses some problems on where to locate it. There's it up to 234,000 net square feet. That significant increase IS needed to address the needs of the academiC departments and to house externallyfunded research, lnnus said. Research has grown dramatically in the last several years. The complex should be done toward the end of 1992 or beginning of 1993. This complex will be located between Cooke-Hochstttter and Fronczak. That's not a lot of room for such a almo~t "The FNSM Complex will now be 44,000 net square feet larger than was first planned. Total cost will be just under $60 million." no vacant land nearby. UB is recommending that the research building be placed somewhere to the south of the present Med School complex. Tha r's where Sherman Lot, Diefendorf Lot.

An additional SIO million has been approved by the executive budget to allow this building to be constructed as envisioned , lnnus said. As cost details were worked out, it became clear that a wtaJ of S40 million would be needed. If the money hadn' been approved, UB might have been forced into a -dramatic downsizing- of the building. - or into a significant review of the infrastructure, or both. he explained. The· building should be done toward the end of 1991. 1111 be located between Slee Chamber Hall and the Recreation and Athletics Complex. The two-story structure will be the size of two football M fields plttoed side by side and wiU con- tain 138.000 net square feet. • Natural Sciences !and Mathematics Building CompiJx. This complex will be "44,000 net square feet larger than originally planned, bringing large strudure. and the space will affect how it's designed . It will cost about S59 mil~on. • Architecture Building. Plans are still on hold until the school finds a neW dean, Innus said. That way t~e new dean can '"decide what he wants m the building. Before the delay, the building was expected to be done at the end of 1990 and was expected to cost Sl4 million. At 60.000 sqlfllre feet, ,it's only a quarter of 1he siz~f the Natural Sciences Complex. • ~ The buildi~g will be located west of the Fine Arts Center, north of Slee and Clemens. and south of Parcel B. • Student Activities Center. Construction may stan in late 1989 or 1990 Innus said. Ratber than build tbe addition in two phases as was originally planned it was decided it would be cheapec' and more elrocient to do tbe entire addition at ona:. 1be archJlCClUral firm of Stieglitz, Stieglitz, Tries of Buffalo is designing tbe addition. The entire addition will cost $18.2 million. • Baird Research Partt. Construction should be completed in late June on an incubator to house fledgling businesses and UB researchers, the first project in the Baird Research Park. The park is located on land owned by the UB Foundation at Sweet · ~orne and Chestnut Ridge roads, just northwest of the Governors Residence Halls. The first floor of the two-story. 40,000-square-foot build!ng will be leased by the University as research space. The second floor will be used as incubato( space for fledghng busrnesses. The UB Foundation has contracted with the Western New York Technology Development• Center. which manages the University•s incubator at 2211 Main St.. to also manage the Amherst incubator space. said Joseph J . Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation. The buildiog itself will be managed by UB Foundation Incubator. Inc., Mansfield said. The S3.4 million facility is being funded with S2.9 million from the New York State Urban Development Corp., the New York Stale Science and Technology Foundation, and the Western New York Economic Devtlo.pmc:nt Corp. The UB !;oundation contributed -:. . . : : -. . . - $500,000, plus tbe Land. Plans for two more buildingo in the rcsearcb park ..,., on liold, M~Jeld said . The U Diversity has expressed interest in using one of tbe proposed buildingo for rcsearcb aod otrJCC space, but has not yet made a commitment, he said. • Parcel B. The developer of a hotel and conference center on Parcel B (where the bookstore is located) has proposed doubling tbe size of a planned adjoining office building if the University agrees to become·tbe major te~eL Univcrsity·s interest in renti!lg office space prompted Barberg &. Associates to recommend doubling the size of the building from 80,000 square feet to 160,000 squan: feet, said Mansfield . adding that the developer also has proposed building a lw<Hieck. parking ramp if the office space lS mcrc:ased These additions would bring the tora l cost of the project to $43 million. Mansfield said a decision on incrca~­ ing the office space is likely by spring. when ground will be broken on the 10story, 300-"J"oom Embassy Suites Horrl and !5,500-square-foot ·conferen ce center. The entire project, including the office building and a 50,000-squan:-fom retail center. is expected to be cpm pleted by late 1989. • Trailers.

The resolution also reaffirmed that it's up to the instruCtor to decide if he will make allowances, such as giving a make-up exam. h stated that athletes shouldn' be given special treatment. The resolution reflects what is already the practice at UB, but codifies it in order to meet NCAA requirements. It's a long-standing practice here that no intercollegiate athletic contests are scheduled during final exams, the resolution notes. Sometimes. however. championships, for instance in tennis, fall during exams, explained James C. Hansen, chainnan of the Intercollegiate Athletics Board (lAB). The lAB had offered a dqlft resolution that simply said faculty members may offer a rqake-up exam or set other conditions so the athlete could aueru! the game. The executive committee strengthened the wording to read that faculty are encouraged to set up such conditions. "I never anticipated that tbe Faculty Senate Executive Committee would come out more strongly than the lAB.~ said George Hochfield of English, an outspoken opponet>t of tbe upgrading of Athletics to Division I. MTbe lAB was created by jocks, for jocks." . I W illiam Miller of Stomatology objected to that statement, saying that many athletes are also academi- cally talented . Edward Jenkins of Learning and Instruction was opposed to letting each faculty member decide whether he will excuse an athlete from an exani. ... It opens the door to inconsistency and different treatment of different students from class to class," Jenkins said. The alternative to this policy would be an attendance policy for the whole University, said Walter Kunz. adminis: trative dean of undergraduate academic services. That would be very different from what is done now. As a result of Wednesday's resolution, faculty will be divided into two groups, predicted Hochfield: those who arc known to make al.lowanccs and those who won' make allowances. The Athletic Department afford not to know which is which. can' Nelson Townsend, director of athletics, noted that befon: coming to UB he dealt with a professor who would purposely schedule exams on the day the football team was leaving for an away-game. "I hope we're not leading to something l!ke-tiJ!s." Townsend said. "Not even I will schedule exams rctrospectiY!'IY," J{ochf~eld stated. ' • A n' ...,.,.,. nother portion of the resolution, presented by Hocbfield, makes it clear that athletes can refuse to partici pate in a game if it conflicts with their jiCademic responsibilities. He said he fear=d that athletes who reeeive grantsin-aid ~ghl ~ pressured to play when, though It's lDiprobable, they'd rather study. · Whole tel!JDS, such as Holy Cross, have refused to go to bowl games, Townsend replied. Sometimes students will choose three days of st ud y over three days of travel. But Townsend indicated that peer pressure has a role in students ' decisions. "Usually an individual's respect for his teammates supersedes .. other considerations. Townsend said. The star quarterback is not going to tell the others he's staying home from the big game. Athletic participation at UB is voluntary and a scholarship won~ be endangered if a student doesn' play. he said. The University won't pressure studenh to choose a game over an exam. ... But that doesn' mean an e' em won' be scheduled on a day thai \ inconvenient," Townsend added. -I've tried very hard to get m~ ><ll excited about this," Edmood Stramchamps blandly told his colleagues. -1 leach in the Music Department and every semester we have students on band trips and choir trips and gomg out for jobs and practice teach ing.

In an interview with the Reporter, Richard Stucker, director of arts services, described plans for the $40.6 million center with its four theatres, two art galleries, video production and sound studios, screening room, and two dance studios. ' According to the timetable, groundbreaking will take place in the fall of 1989 and construction will begin later that yea r. The grand opening is set for the fall of 1992. although the Departments of Art, Theatre and Dance, and Media Study will begin to occupy the bulding several months earlier. Also, an annual giving and member· shi p program will begin late in 1989. Volunteer groups and friends organizations will be formed in 1990. Long-term planning for the center's programming begins next year. The office of ArtS Services is now centralizing marketing, ticket arrangements. and the calendar for all University arts. A collections policy for the · new. gallery is being developed, and plannin* for the center's opening year celebratton will begin in 1990. The· office is also determining the center's staffing needs. Additional persons will be hired to handle publicity, marketing, box office, fu nd raising , building management, and tec~nical concerns. Also, a gallery director at.d a small gallery support staff will be hired about a year before the opening. ccording to Stucker. the Fine Arts Center will be "a primary cultural resource for Western New York . In general, we hope to increase awareness of artS and culture in the region, thereby strengthening all area cultural organizations." This is also the intention of President Sample's Arts Advisory Council which will "ensure that the programs produced at the Center will be o ptimally coordinated "(ith the activities of other arts organizations in Buffalo and throughout Western New York ." The council statement continues : "Through cooperation between the various groups on campus and in the local region, the Universtty at Buffalo Arts Advisory Council will seek to promote and support artistic programs, performances, productions, exhibitions, and events that help to develop an artistic and cultural environment of the highest quality for the faculty, students, and A "The Arts Services Office is now centralizing marketing, ticket arrangements, and the calendar for all UB arts.

According to the Office of Art$; Services. the Fine Arts Center will be " the visual focal point of the Amherst Campus. drawing together the music activities in Slee and Baird with acti vities at Alumni Arena and Lake LaSalle." The building si te is located at the north edge of Covent ry Circle and extends to Lake LaSalle. The si te to the east of the ce nter has been pro· posed for fu ture parking. The Art Department and gallery will be at the west side of the atrium. while Theatre and Dance and Media Studies will be to the east. According to the site description. ..the building is cut into the side of a slope and as a result the facade at Covent ry Circle is similar in height to the adjacent buildings (Slee and Alumni Arena)."

Blinken, chairman of the SUNY Board of Trustees, said ' he's confident that there wil\ be a new chancellor on board by the beginning of the 1988-89 academic year. The search committee is down to a relatively short list of candidates , B),inken told the Reporter, but he won' comment on who any of them might be. According to some reportS, Governor Mario Cuomo is trying to reassert con· trot over SUNY by having one of his top aides Henrik Dullea, named chancellor. D~llea was assistant to former D UB President Martin Meyerson from 1968 to 1969. Cuomo denied that he made recommendations for a new chancellor, according to an article in the Buffalo News. But the governor added : "I hope they do not use against Dullea the fact that 1 am presently unhappy with the way they are managing the operation." That unhappiness stemmed from Cuomo's request to agency beads to find places 'where they could cut back spending. The governor publicly chastosed Acting Chancellor Jerome B. Komisar for answering that a decrease in funds would mean a decrease in quality. hen asked if the gov.ernor's backing of a certain candidate W would affect the search committee's decision, Blinken replied, "No," but added, "We've always welcomed advice and recommendations." U!st year the committee wrole to the governor and to senators Daniel P.. Moynihan and Alfonse .D'Amato for their opinions, Blinkeri said. The search has taken longer than the University would have liked , but is in an active phase and considerable pro- gress has been made, he said. . Blinken pointed out that at the beginning of the search he stated that the search committee would take as long as necessary - and tllat's still his only timetable. The search was put on hold for a time beeause the salary of $89,250 was far less thin that of top officers at other major universities. and the search committ.ee feared it wouldn' be able to aitract top candidates. The governor agreed with that salary assessment and, late in July 1987, legislation was approved to let SUNY set the level of the chancellor's salary. 0 �February 4, 1988 Volume 19, No. 15 Rocket engineer _tells 'how · dumb' he's been ..

When she was given the task of expanding U B's recreation program, she knew that the Recreation a nd Athletics Complex (RA C) is so big that to pack th e building that tightly wou ld be quite a trick. But she knew she could do it. "UB is like a small city," she observed ... We have the building, we have the personnel - we should have the services. " It was obvious from the start that we'd have to do more than just leave the doors of the building open," said D immick. "We needed more organized programs." Dimmick collected as many recreation brochures from other universities as she could get her hand s on. She borrowed the best aspects of programs at oth er un iversities and pooled UB's own resou rces. As a result of her efforts, UB is now offering an exte nsive Structured Recreation Program for the first time. " I've produeed something healthy and beneficial for people on campus," said Dimmick. . Some of the programs incorporate exis~ing activities, like the . aerobics classes. Some programs target faculty and staff, like the fitness program. Part of one program, tbe Century Club, encourages exercise among wheelchair users. All 9f the programs are designed T he activi ties are divided into five areas: • The Fitness Program. This program provides medical scrt:ening, lifestyle assessment, fitness assessment, and supervised exercise sessions. • Instructional Activities. These activities include aerobics classes for participants at all levels from beginner on up: .. Hyd ro Robics ... a ve rsion of aerobics in t he water for both swimme rs and non -swi mmers : and ..

(The Friends of Eddie Coyle is the only one of his novels that's made it so far; it was a 1973 Paramount production starring Robert Mitchum.) It's also often assumed that Higgins would be a natural scriptwriter. Not so, he says. He was once asked to write dialogue for a movie. The director told Higgins he would never learn to write a screenplay until he could write five pages in which no character speaks more than 20 words. "You can imagine how hard that is for me," Higgins said. "I have learned how to do it but it's just excruciating labor. The reason is, we d on't listen to movies, we · watch them; it's aU visual. not auditory. f have these lo ng soliloquies and great arias of obscenity and they won't play on the screen.

G eorge V. Higgins is visiting professor of English at U B this semester for more than a co uple of reaso ns. It ·s a type of job he's ne'ver had before. The n, he's not the type of guy who sticks with any o ne job for too long. A Higgins is a novelist , s hort story writer, a nd colum nist, a former trial law- ye r and rep orter. He smokes cigarettes one after the other, d istrusts tape recorders. And loves to tell stories. " 'I'm a storyteller. Listen to me.' It's an act of considerable hubris to stand up and say that," Higgins noted in an interview in his new Clemens office. "You wouldn't d o it unle ss yo u expected to make yo urself the center of attention. I get satisfacti on ou t of addressing an audience ... And audiences he's had plenty of. A criminal lawyer, Higgins was assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1967-70 and assistant United States attorney fo r Massachusetts in 19?0-73. He represen.ted such clients as EJdridge Cleaver and G. Gordon Liddy while in private practice from 1973-83. He 's written more than a dozen ficti on and nonficti on books, inclu ding The Friends of Eddie Coyle, selected by the Britis h Book Marketing Council in 1985 as one of th e 20 best nove ls bv Americans published in England since World War II. He's been a reporter. He's contributed to numero us magazi nes and peri- odicals, and covered Watergate for The Atlantic Monthly. And he's been a co lumnist for Boston Magazine, the Boston Phoenix, the Washington Star, the Boston Herald-American , the Bos· ton Globe, the Wall Street Journal, and Newsday. Higgins has even lectured on creative writing before. But this is the first time he's ever taught J t. "And I'm not a bit persuaded that my pre-existing notion is inco rrect - th at you can't teach creative writing." he said. "People tried to teach it to me and they were plai nly unsuccessful. How do you teach im provisation? You don,. The people who play the best jazz saxophone do so because they st ud ied Mingus and ' Bird ' and all the rest of them. You can learn it. So maybe I can help someone else here learn how to do it." Higgins' approach involves read aloud - from P arthavingof students Jheir own work as well as from books be recommends. Like listening to great jazz music, reading and listening to Joyce and Faulkner and Hemmgway may help st udents improve their own wo rk. Hi~ns can push active reading and Jisterung, but it's up to the students w get the experience they need to wrote realistically. ..There's a .tendency never to get out sidi! the academic world , which has to narrow the breadth of expertise," said Higgins, a graduate of Boston College and Stanford University. "I suppose 1f you want to write histo rical romance, there· wouldn' be an y particular point in talcing a job as a long-distance truck driver. But if you want to wrote a realistic novel in which one of. the charac- ters is a long-haul truck d river, it would be: help ful to ha ve some infor- George V. Higgins Tha t ·s not to say. however. that rr-ad- mation about what his life consists of.·· Higgins' books have included cops and criminals. lawyers and Mafia figures. corrupt poli ticians and hoodl ums. Does he find it necessary to hang out in seedy bars and sleazy restaurants in order to write "realistically?" " It 's a defini te advantage, put it that way." he said ... I was a prosecutor. Not only rhat, I started out as a newspa per reporter for the Providence Journal, and it's prett y hard to work in Rhode Island wi th out picking up some details about the mob. Then I worked for the Associated Press in Springfield where I covered a whole summer of mobrelated tri als. So I saw all the lawyers d ressed alike in silver suits wi th blue shirtS, black ties and shiny black loafers wi th tassels . "I don't know if I would have thought about wri ting about how the lawyers looked if I hadn' seen them. And I don ' know if I could have written effectively about a courtroom scene if I'd never been in one. It's a definite advantage that I've not only been in them but I've been in a lot of them. The patterns of d iction and behavior of cops and lawyers and witnesses used in my books I have gotten from cops and lawyers and witnesses .... ike many writers, Higgins scoo ps pieces of characters and incidents from real life for use in many of his books. Boston , for instance, where Higgins liv.es, shows up sooner or later in al l of his books ("that way I don' have to go and make sure I've .got the street map correct"). · " You steal all the flaws, all the characteristics or real people when you start inventing fiction, " Htggins said ... It's a murky glass that you 're holding up to reality, but the sediment in it comes fro m real life." He doesn' include himself in that . murky glass. " If I hadn' had enormous luck, my life and attit ude would probably rese mble in many respects that of Jerry Kennedy," of Kennedy for the Defense and Penance for Jerry Kennedy, Higgins said. " He's as close to an alter ego as I have in my . books. And yet, we're L th ird ahumption man y readers make is that dialogue-heavy novels will be easier to read than those with a lot of narration or description. But you can' exactly whip through a Higgins novel as you might the latest Spider· Man comic book. "There's no question but that my books are fairly demanding. I mean them to be," Higgins said ... , write for adults. If you buy a copy of Outlaws (published in 1987) today, you11 be $18.95 poorer without the sales tax than yo u were yesterday. It seems to me that you ought to get some kind of exercise out of it yourself. That's what I want when I buy a book. "It's more enjoyable for the reader to participate in 1the sport than it is for the reader merely to be an onlooker. I don't think that reading is a spectator sport." so far apart that I doubt if he suddenly walked in that door you'd mistake either one of us for the other. " I identify with all of my characters, the most rePrehensible along wi th the most admirable," he added. " I enjoy the ir com pany. Of course, I'm in no danger from them . I can write about a guy wielding a 12-gauge shotgun without any fear that he's going to put a hole in me wi th it. .. f Higgins has a trademark , it's his use of dialogue. Dialogue that is ··so authentic it spits,.. accord ing to a Newsweek crit ic. Dialogue that, says New York Times critic Christopher Lehmann-Haupt. "eats at one's nerve endings." Higgins had 14 unpublished (and "not ve ry good") books under his belt before The Friends of Eddie Coyle came along in 1972. Eddie Coyle was written almost entirely in dialogue; it's the storytelling method he is most comfortable with . That's due in part to his experie nce as a reporter and as a tri al lawye r. .. In the newspaper business, you learn that quotes make the story. So you listen very carefully to what people say," Higgins noted. "Ans!)t's the same th ing in tryi ng a case. What the witness says and doesn' say and what you would have expected the witness to say - this is th e linchpin of yo ur case. I've been used to getti ng their remarks and putting them down rather than j ust describing events myself. " It's easy for him to write dialogue, Higgins said. It's also proved a most economical way to tell a story. "You get three effects for the price of one: you get a preUll..f~ir portrayal of what ki nd of person thecharacter is by the choice of d iction he or she uses; you get what the characte r claims to· think about something that has happened, aod you get what happens. Then you get to see, as the story unfolds, the degree of his verisimil itude. ~ Because of the large concentrations of. dialogue, people assume that Higgins' work would translate very easily I ing should be expected to be all work and no play. "One of the th ings that's sedulously lefl unmentioned when we studv litera· ture is the fact that first of all It's sup· posed to be fun ," Higgins said. ... It 's su pposed to be entertaining. It 's supposed to be enjoyable, diverting, escapast . or course. some of the literature we've grown up reading. such as Silas Marner or 7he Mill on the Floss. doesn't really deliver much in the entertai nment departme nt. So there's this ancillary notion th at it shou ld be 'good for yo u;' it should make vo u a better person. And I thin ~ that's wrong, too." For Higgins, th e act of writing is enJoya ble as well. " I really like to do it ... he said. "I don' envy the people who have to nog themselves and exercise great selfdiscip line in order to get their writi ng done. I'm not tearing myself away from anything when I sit down at the keyboard - it's quite the opposite. "A nd when I'm wri ting a bo ok, I'm in it. 111 get up at three or fo ur o'clock in the morning with a line of dialogue or a situation and go into the stud y and wrile- it down. I gel thoroughly involved in the story; I want to see how it comes out." iggins expects to finish by May "a memoir about my fat her <tnd my grandfather and the only mean thing they ever d id to me: they made me a Red Sox fan. So· it's also about the Red Sox." He has another novel coming out in September. Any chance his semester at UB will have some influence ori his writing? Even make it into the next nQvel? Higgins doesn' rule it out. "111 never tell you what kind of novel working QD because I'll never write the novel. But I have every reason to believe there are a couple of academics in J he next story. If you're lucky in your life, there's a great deal of crossfertilization ~mong the occupations and professions. It's when it's all just one thing that you're like a chameleon on a khaki backgTOund - you don\ have anything to do." 0 H rm �fB)r<S'i ~ February 4, 1988 Volume 19, No. 15 6 Il.ffi.\..Q]JD<D:Y!1 u.®If R Statistics just 'on hold,' Provost Greiner says H as deactivation of the UB Statistics Department already taken. place?

Cuomo has recommended that S I mill io n in State fund s be allocated to the Cen ter for Management of Toxic Substa nces and Hazardous Wastes at UB. The recommendation is subject to approval liy the New York State Legislature. · President Steven B. Sample said the ce nter is pooling tbe Stale's resources to investigate methods of reducing the hazardous .effects of toxic waste. "The research center represents the first time that scientists in the State have collaborated on research to clean up toxic waste. The center is bringing together the tremendous resources of the State's univ.c rsities. research inStitutes, and industries to address that critical problem;" Sample said. Last year, Governor Cuomo urged the formation of the center in his "State of the State" 'address. Leadership for tbe bill was provided by Assemblyman Joseph T . PiUittere and Senator John B. Daly, whose districtS are in Niagara County. In last year's DEC budget, the i:enter was aUocated S I million as "seed money" to start the research program. According to· the governor's recommendation, $890,000 in unspent funds G from that yea r will be reall oca ted to th e center. That commitment is expected to attract additional grants from the federal government and industry , acco rding to Dale M . Landi, UB vice president for sponsored programs. Ralph Rumer, Ph.D. , director of the center and professor of civil engineering, said that the long term research and development efforts of the center include: • Developing cosH:ffective technologies for neutral izi ng, recycling, or otherwise securely containing hazardous substances. • Developing new technologies to minimize the production of hazardous wastes or to produce sucp wastes safely. • Devel'oping improved methods of safely storing and transporting toxic substances. "The- center will pursue these objectiVes*oii'"U -inkdlisciplinary basis with the participation of Roswell Park Memorial Institute, the Great Lakes Laboratory, Arvin/Calspan Corporation, and the State's universities and industries," Rumer said, - adding that industries will be allle to . increase the effectiveness of research in waste management . by pooling · their efforts with UB and other universities. 0 exc hange in research and educaiion. t first, the interchange will involve A faculty visiting neighboring institutions to work on joint research, according to Naughton . Later, th e exchange could involve the exchange of senior reside nts and special fellows from the two medical schools. It is proposed in the consortium agreement that a joint program for bone marrow transplantation be established at Roswell Park and Strong M~morial Hospital of the Universi ty of Rochester Med ical Center, enabling phySICians to perfo rm allogeneic (donated) bone marrow transplants for pauents suffenng from leukemia aplastic anemia, and related diseases.

The same is true of autos a~d auto pans, metals and alloys, electromcs, a nd soft goods which pass between the two nations. That may change in the next decade. On Jan. 2, U.S. President Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney, attempting to create a free market between the world's two largest trading partners, s igned the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement. For New York, particularly Western New York, free trade could bring great financial benefits, according to James McConneU, chairman of the Department of Geography, coordinator of the International Trade Concentration at UB, and director-<lesignate of a pro· posed U B agency which would stud y the problems of trade between the two nations. McConnell testified in favor of the free trade accord at a recent join1 hearing of the New York State Senate an d Assembly in Buffalo. U nder the agreement, both tariff barriers and other restrictions on most goods and services exchanged between the two nations will be phased out. The change is scheduled to occur during the period from Jan. I, 1989, through Jan . I, 1998. That's if the agreement is sanctioned by Congress and by the Canadian Parliament. Those governmental bodies have a couple more months to deliberate on the accord before voting for or against its implementatio n. For the United States and Canada, McConnell says. the agreement could mean an increase of an estimated half million jobs on each side of the border, as national exports increase by as mu ch as Sl7 billion each way. Ca nad ian industry would benefit through open access to a marke t nine times the sizl! of its own, while th e ma rket for U.S. industry would expand by seven per cent. Approval of the free trade agreement will provide world economic leadershtp, McConnell asserted, by establishing .. harmonious regulations and procedures" for an open and secure bilateral market within a "global economtc environment that is becoming increas- ingly characterized by protectionis m, confrontation, and retaliation ... New York stands to gain a large share of the accord's benefits, according to McConnell . The State's current share of two-way trade is nearl y 14 per cent. Ten per cent of Canadian impons originate in New York.. and 17 per cent of Canadian exports are destined for New York . If th at le vel is maintained . the number of jobs and the amount of dollars in increased revenues here could be expected to increase proponionally. Weste rn New York and Buffalo stand to gai n su bstantially from the agreement. ProKimity to the Canadian border and the accompanying easy access both to and from Canada should make this area attractive to companies looking to build new branch plants o r sa tell ite sa les offices. according to McCo nnell. Location here would pe rmit access to major Ca nadian markets and maj or trade ro utes without necessitating investment o utside the count ry. f co urse, the a~reement is not without so me n sks, McConnell noted . These include: · • th e possible loss of so me manufac- 0 turing jobs in certain geographic areas as fewer. but larger and more competitive plants a(( opened~ • new competition from certain Canadian agricultural exports; • Weste rn New York becoming a pass-through -but-don 't-sto p point along m~or ~:ir:!~t~~:ti~~ r~~e:~i:~d in veslments in se rvice and production facilities from Western New York to new locations within Canada. Currentlv. Canadian firms may invest in factoriCs here to enable them to sell to Americans without paying tariffs. Thos~ negative effects can be forestalled. however. What that requ ires is ca refu l planning: McConnell noted. To convince businesses that invest ment in this area is a smart move. he said. Western New York must develop the sort of support sys tems those companies req uire. This includes "appropriate financial and legal services. suitable labor pools and other human resource needs, educational and technical training facilities, industrial parks that can provide joint government-private sec tor financing James McConnell, chair of Geography. packages for ~it e development and construction, and an efficient and comprehensive transportation and warehousing system," McConnell noted . gra~ :~ ~~J;'~:~t8 t,:~ed;~ ··~;~: vi ding management training and indus· trial development se r vices to the Western New York community ...

Women playwrights will hold international event here omen pla ywrig ht s from throughout the world will gather in Buffalo next fall for the First International Women Playwrights Conference, sponsored by UB. According to Anna Kay France. project director and associate professo r of theatre and dance, the conference will showcase the work of women playwrights, many of whom have had little chance to meet and dtscuss thetr plays. About 1,500 persons are expected to participate. Also, several thousand wtll attend performances of plays by women presented by local professional theatre companies - the Studio Arena, the Kavmoky the Ujima, the Alleyway, UB's Sid~ey B. Pfeifer Theatre, and others. Participating playwrights will include Alice Childress and Megan Terry (U.S.), Micbelene Wandor (Great Britain), Sharon Pollock and Pol Pelleuer (Canada), Griselda Garobaro (ArJ!entina), Bai Fengxt (Chma), and Fatima Dike (South Africa). . A group of prominent critics and scholars will also take pan m the public sessions. Most of the panel discus- W " sio ns will include short readings or performances by the playwrights or other actors, or brief videotapes of staged productions. France notes a growing interest in the work of women playwrights. "Yet, "We seek responses to basic questions from the diverse vantage points of women from a variety of races, classes, cultures and countries." women playwrights often work in isolation, with meager production resources and . little critical support.

(The abov~ is a hypothetiral scenari. of what might occur in almost any eastern U.S. city subjected to a moderate size earthquake. Such an event will occur, if most of the scient isiS are correct. within our lifetimes.

I , 1987, an event of this type and size did occur in Whtttier, California. The following is a quick overvie" of what actually happened. (It is to be understood that this is an extremely abbreviated, preliminary overview. A number of reports have already been written, and others are in the planning stage. The National Science Foundation anticipates the preparation of a comprehensive document detailing the lessons to be learned.) The Whitter Earthquake - or as it is now being called, the Whittier-Narrow s Earthquake - struck at 7;42 a.m. (P.T.), OcL I , 1987. It measured 6.1 on the Richter Scale. Based on Cal Tech measurements and measurements of otber seismological stations, the epicenter was located between San Gabriel and Rosemead Blvds., and between Pomona and San Bernardino Freeways, near tbe Whittier Narrows recreation area. It was followed by several aftershocks, tbe strongest measuring 5.5, whicb occurred at 3;00 a.m. (P.l t.) on Sunday, Oct. 4.

The maximum intensity of the earthquake has been estimated at VIII (on the Modified Mercalli Scale). which means "steering of ca"' affected , falling of some stucco and masonry walls, twisting and falling of some chimneys, factory stacks, monuments, elevated tanks. and the breaking of branches and limbs of trees." It covered a small area of about four square miles. A larger area of slightly less than 200 sq uare miles, which included all or pan of 16 municipalities and the eastern portion of Los Angeles. experienced varying degrees of lesser damage. The total number of buildings in this larger affected area approximate one-half million with about 10 per cent being non-residential. The total replacement cost would be in the neighborhood of SSO-S70 billion. This earthquake, which lasted only about I0 seconds. affected a large provided sufficient information for Gov. Oeukmejian to declare a disaster in the affected area on Oct. 2. The President did the same on Oct. 7. It ts est•mated that about 12,000 family and individual households. or approximately 30,000 people. were made homeless due to thi earthquake. As of November II . direct damage to structures was estimated at S358 million. As costs associated with interruption of business operation. practice before 1971 also sustained heavy damage. Many masonry foundations failed. anticipated that the total losses associated with the Whittier-Narrows Earthquake will exceed one-half billion dollars. In California. only about IS per cent of the homes are insu red against The various jurisdictions responded needs , without relying on mutual aid. However, actual losses surpassed the long-term recovery capability of affected communities. The Governor's and Presidential declarations of disaster paved the way for establishing federal and state mechanisms for assistance in recovery and reconstruction. (This section was based on a confidential report of rhe Narional Cenrer for &lrthquake Engineering Research tilled "The Whillier- Narro ws &lrthquake of October, 1987. "J The major causes for losses , however, transportation, and commumcauons - 100.000-square-mile area experienced an Intensity of VIII or greater. (In the Whiuie r-Narrows Earthquake. four square miles had an Intensity of VI II ). Within an 800.000-square-mile area. the earth shaking was felt by all, and many were frightened and ran outdoors. Another large eastern earthquake occurred in 1886 in Charleston. South Carolina. It had a magnitude of 7.7 and caused structural damage as far away as Kentucky, Indiana. Illin o is. and Misso uri.

The probability of recurrence of a magnitude 8 or greater \11 the Cent ra l Mississippi valley is in the order of I to 2 per cent. B seismic hazard , and, in fact, the probability of a major earthquake T he prospect of a large earthquake striking a major metropolitan area of the country is a frightening thought. But as was clearly demonstrated in the preceding section, certain areas, and certain cities are beuer prepared than others to respond to such events. While not as large as the one which occurred on Oct. I, 1987, Whiuier has had earthquakes before ( 1812, 1878, 1903, 1907, 1927, 1933, 1952, and 1971 ). Whittier knows what to expect. It had a disaster plan in place, had an organizational structure that was prepared to take charge. It had carried out mock drills. Not to be minimized is the fact that Whittier is located in California which, on the average, experiences a significant earthquake about once every eight to ten years. The causes for these western type events is more or less relatively well unde,.tood. F'liSt attempts at prediction · are under way. ln short, earthquake preparedness is part of the normal day- Coping with an earthquake threat requires an atypical degree of interjurisdictional and interagency coordination of effort. All levels of governments have roles and responsibilities to exe rcise. preferably not totally independently. Rather than limiting earthquake emergency management to preparedness and recovery, mitigat io n of the effects of an earthquake is a vigila nt action . Mit igati o n is acco mplished through c ~ n s truction of earthquake-safe facilities . Earthquakes destroy buildings. parts of buildings. highwa y structures, o th er transportation systems. dams. water and sewer lines. electrica l lines. environme ntal co ntrol facilities. recreational facilities. and o ther system s.

By improving the qualit y o f co nstructed facilities. it is possibl e to reduce th e lo of life . to reduce injuries. and to red uce property loss. Construction is co ntrolled by regulations. codes. zoning ordinances, siting evaluati ons. and design practice. Earthqu ake mitigation must be accomplished through all of these r:o ntrols . In addition to mitigatio n thro ugh improved construction. th e destruct ive o f earthquakes ca n be reduced by locating structures in low risk area~ . effec t ~ Earthquakes generally impact la rge areas. and the ir effects ca nn ot be entirely avoided. Even so. proper si ting of structures can result in fewer pro blems. and can significantly reduce earthquake losses. To reduce the risk of earthquake ecause no large earthquakes ha ve occurred in the east in the memory of its present inhabitants, the general occurring is quite low . But moderate to severe quakes have occurred in the past and will certainly recur in the future . chimneys and concrete towers were performed well with only minor damage. Concerning emergency response: 90 fires were reported. AU of these were local incidents, and were soon contained. Traffic was interrupted on one interchange because of structural damage to a support column, and in some affected areas of uptown Whiitier, because of building debris, or because of danger of further collapse. Many high-rise buildings were on that fault system during that sa me period of time. Eighteen of these were felt as far away as Was hington. D.C. A public thinks of the region as free from were due to non-structural damage. In many instances the building "survived" but the contents were "lost." Masonry severely damaged, parapets and facades collapsed, suspended architectural ceilings, lighting fixtures, and heating and air conditioning duets fell. Sprinkling systems broke, resulting in excessive water damage. Improperly anchored mechanical equipment broke loose causing major damage. Fortunately, most of the buildings which had nonstructural damage were not occupied at the time of the main shock or the aftershock. Many injuries were avoided. In general, the lifeline systems water supply, electrical power, . occurred not -in California but in so uthern Missouri on the Mississi ppi moderate-to-large earthquakes occurred weU to the post-earthquake emergency constructed according to engineering imagination.

But when they occur, they can be destructive beyond River at New Madrid in 1811 -1 8 12. Three very large quakes occurred (8.6, 8.4 and 8.8). More than 200 additional early estimate was that about 10,000 dwellings were damaged, as well as many commercial and industrial facihties. As would be expected, the conditions, and whether or not seismic occur much more often and are better displacement, and potential loss of earthquake damage, and approximately 20-25 per cent of the small businesses .

An to-day vocabulary of the average Californian. Earthquakes of major size occur only infrequently in tbe eastern part of the United States. Other natural hazards (e.g. hurricanes, floods, fires, etc.) The problem is compounded by a high population densit y, many old buildmgs, a high degree of modern industriaJization , and a lack of concern in the current building codes and zoning ordinances. The potentiaJ threat to people and property is sufficientl y high that it cannot be ignored - in spite of its low frequency of occurrence. With the exception of California. the state and local governments of the United States rarely set specific public policy aimed at earthquake hazard mitigation. State and local policymakers are unconvinced of the need for earthquake codes. • Government, the private sector, and other elements of society must deal with an earthquake threat with beuer preparedness planning than has been the case in the past. Those plans should include engaging in nonstructural hazard mitigation activities, by preparing and practicing coordinated emergency responses by various entities, and 'pfe'":planning the recovery and reconstruction phase which will follow the actual emergency response. losses in the future. imple mentatio n of mitigation measures and activities must take place. Most decision makers in the public and private sectors. however, are reluctant to involve build ing regulation reform , without some incentive for doing so. One set of primary incentives for sti mulating action invol ves information rewards and penalties: I ) insurance requirements based on informed actuarial rate making, 2) liabilities which may result from not taking/ or inappropriately taking certain mitigation measures, and 3) regulations on what and how to invpke certain mitigating activities. But the major need for earthquake hazard reduction is education. When each participant in each activity affecting seismic safety unde,.tands the problem and how it should be treated, seismic safety can achie,..·ed . Seismic safety rarely is the sole, or even the major concern of the person to be ed ucated, whether it be the public administrator, manager, professionaJ., laborer, homeowner, or housewife. Thus, for it to be effective, knowledge of seismic safety must be integrated with the main education source for each audience, and placed in that audience's frame of reference. It is this knowledge that will become the vehicle which will move government, industry, and emergency management agencies "· toward protecting the people of the 0 United States_and their interests. �February 4, 1988 Volume 19, No. 15 Group in Ma rxist Studies will be held in 4700 Park Hall at 4 p.m. UUAB GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL • • Brok-en Juc.

"The vote in the House and Senate won 11 be as decisive as people are saying it will be ,~ said Tracy. " There will be funds for the Contras even if President Reagan's proposal of S36 million for the Contras is voted down." Tracy said that if Reagan's funding - which incl ud es $3.5 million in military aid - does not pass. there will still be aid going to the resistance movement in Nicaragua, but it will not include any funding for weapons and ammunition. ...The Democratic proposal has no military aid in it." he said. ''But there will still be funding (for the Contras) either way." C T racy, a Latin American specialist, spoke on U.S. policy toward Nicaragua at UB last week before a very vocal and predominantly anti-Contra aid crowd. The retired colonel, who now owns a consulting firm , was the developer of the now infamous Oliver onh slide presentation on U.S. policy toward Nicaragua that was shown. among other plact:s, at the Iran-Contra hearings. Jn fac~ he was even called by the Republicans in the House to see if he was involved in any way with the diversion of aid to the Contras. He was not. "I wasn1 involved with that in any way," said Tracy. " I never testified at the hearings, but I do have a letter in the (Towe r) Co mmission's report." In his talk, Tracy gave a recap of Nicaragua's recent political turmoil from the overthrow of dictator Anastasio Samoza in the late 1970s to the rise in power of current president Daniel Ortega. During the speech, Tracy showed a remarkable mem ory for names and events. Along with giving his views on past last 2 3 4 § 5 ..,. 2 ~ racy said that he thought the T reason the Sandinistas hav e recently been willing to come to the bargaining table is because of the improvement in the military training of the Contras. .. The Contras have improved their fighting technique immensely," he said. "They have grounded the Sandinista air force and made many strategic gains ... Although he was a member, and is still a suppo rter, of the Reagan admin- "Revolutionary" Nicaraguan Juan Fernando Ramirez added his voice to the campus debate on his homeland on Mor\ai!y of this week. Speaking to a sharply .divided audience of pro- and anti-C~n tras, Ramirez said: "I am a nationalist .... I don't like foreigners telling me what to do. and -what to say and how to think. And that's what the Cubans and the Soviets are doing in Nicaragua." Having the Americans intervene. is okay by him, however.

Tracy kept the audience entertained with so me humorous remarks about his college days - when he was a supporter of Fidel Castro and some sobering comments about the seriousness of the Nicaraguan situation. ··Even the strongest dissenter to Contra aid. Senator Christopher Dodd , says that the alternative to the Contras in Nicaragua is U.S. troops," said Tracy. "Senator Dodd said on 'Niglitline · one evening that he believes we must first give peace a chance and then use the military option. You young men in this audie!lc:e are that option.'' He added that he would rather see the U.S. support the Contras than se nd down our own military perso nnel . w..u Week on Uat A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AMERICA (CoUins: 55 SJ9.95) Colonel Lawrence Tracy istration, Tracy said the "Great Communicator~ has done a poor job in publiciring the Contras' situatiOn. "It is o ne of the great ironies of the situation that the greatest communicator who has ever been in the White House hasn' done a good job of telling his policy to the American people," he said. On the other hand, "t he Soviet< have been brilliant with their policy there." said TraCy ... The Soviets want to make us switcll our emphasis from Europe to Cenrral America. "They have given the Sandinistas ten times as much aid as we have given the Contras. but it will be worth it if they can get us to switch our emphasis:· Tracy added that ··our government doesn't stress tfte fact enough that icaragu a is no threat to us per se. It is th e Soviet backing of the Sandinist as that is the threat.·· I n the extremely vocal and heart-felt question-and-answer period that followed his talk. Tracy was asked about everyt hing from ""lrangate... to Contra aid and from the U.S. support of the ruthless Chilean dictator Pinochet to the dea th squads in El Salvador. Perh aps the question that bes t expressed the views of the anti-Contra aid delegation came from a woman who asked what right the U.S. Government has to be involved in another country's affairs. Tracy answered her by saying that the U.S. has no right to tell a foreign government how to run its internal affai rs, but it does have a right to stop a government from interfe rin g in another nation's affairs and to come to the aid of a nation which asks for our support. In Tracy's view, we are rightly helping the Contras because they asked for our help in defeating the Sovietbacked Nicaraguan govemmel!k As for the second part of the q uestion, Tracy said that he believes the U.S. is in support of the Contras because they have the popular backing of th e Nicaraguan people. He added that in the years since Ortega came to power in Nicaragua, nearly one-sixth of the nation's population has left. "I talked to one man in a refugee camp recently who was an opponent of the Samoza government and a supporter of the Sandinistas when they took over,~ said Tracy. "He wouldn1 even call Samoza by his name, he referred to him as ' the other m an. • But, even this man admitted that und er Samoza not as many peop]~ left the cou ntry and the econ.OI!IY was in better shape." Tracy's appearance at UB was cosponsored by the College R epublicans and Buffalo Free Speech. 0 • NEW AND IMPORTANT AIDS- THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (Macmillan; SJ7 .95) .

However, even with this proud past, not one of Coach Ed Mtchael's teams has enjoyed as high a national ranking during the season as this year's Bulls. This i' 'vl ichael's 18th season here and he ha; compiled a 235-88-4 record. At last check, Michael's 1988 matmen were number one nationally in Dl\i>io n Ill. · I he team now stands at 7-2 in dual mccb after last weekend's sweep of the llulls' double dual meet with Cortland and RIT. UB easily defeated the two opponents 27-8 and 36-5, respectively. Michael's grapplers were led by junior Steve Irving's {134 lbs.) technical lall win against Cortland and by co,·ap tain Dean Salvaggio's {142 lbs.) pin and freshman Bill Stanbro 's { 177 lbs.) technical fall win against RIT.

Edinboro. nfonunately, even last weekend's lopsided wins couldn' erase the disap pointment of narrowly losing to the mighlJI Syracuse University Orangemen at Alumni Arena last week, 19-17. The loss snapped the Bulls' nine-match U winning streak. "Never before have the Bulls been ranked so high in the polls." Ironically, the last time UB lost a Jual meet was to Syracuse, exactly one '·" to the day ot last week 's defeat. .. We haven' had a big win yet this car ... lamented Michael.

"I expect us to finish as well as last year," he said. "We need some more refinement and we need to peak at the right. time to accomplish that." !though the results will hopefully A be .as .good as last season's, the road to a successful finish for the Bulls will take a little different route this year as UB will be forced to qualify for the Division III national tournament ·&! the regional level rather than through an automatic conference bid. .This scenario wiU occur because, unlike, in the past when UB was a member of SUNY AC and would receive a bid through the conference, (Top) Crowd watches as UB's Paul Bailey takes on Mark Kerr of Syracuse.

" It will be a little different for us this year," admitted Michael. "We don't really know what to expect at the regionals." One thing UB will have to expect is good depth at each of its weight classes. Without it, Michael said, a good finish will be tough to achieve. "We have adequate depth now, but we need quality depth," he said . "We' have some tough teanls ahead and will need. to get good performances from everyone in order to win." l( the team jells, and 'Michael gets his dipth, the sky may be the limit for this year's Bulls.

But the discussion of how important it is for more Americans to study foreign languages really spoke to him. Based on what he heard that day, Marra decided to spe nd his junior year at the International Christian University in Tokyo. That experience has served Marra well. In addition to learning the Japanese language, he was able to write an article which appeared in the International Economics Research Journal -a Japanese language publication, and to travel throughout the Orient. While he was in Tokyo, Marra also met students who were winners of the Rotary In ternational Grad uate (R.I.G .) Scholarship. This s'larted another idea cooking in his head . With all that undergraduate experience abroad , Marra was able to put a strong resume together, and has now won an R.I.G. Scholarship himself. The award is generous . It will pay all of his expenses includi ng tuition, living expenses, and a travel stipend - to go anywhere in the world . So Marra, a senior economics major, will become a globetroue r once again. Given a choice of anywhere in the world. he had at !irst chosen England , but other scholars had already filled the Rotary's England quota. Marr~ has elected instead to return to Japan. This time he will attend Keio University. noted for its program in economics. The scholarship · is awarded on the basis of academic achievemen t, extracurricular activities, and p ublic service. The program is designed, in part, to promote better international understan di ng, re lated Ma rra. "The p hrase they (R otarians) use is 'Ambassad or of Good Will ,' '" said Marra. he selection co mmittee had been particularly interested· in Marra's apparent enthusiasm for promoting study abroad. In addition to publishing an anicle about his travels in the Report~r. he has spoken before groups in the Albany area as part of the UB Honors Program's promotional .. road show." Indeed, Marra admits that if he could send one message to other UB students, it would be that they should T take advantage of the opportunities to st udy abroad that are avaJlable through various University programs. Last time Marra was in the Orient, he traveled to Hong Kong. China, Tibet, Nepal, and India. This time he is contemplating a possible trip to Australia. He also admt!S that he has not seen as much of Japan as he would like. He's been to the far south and to the far north of Japan, but has missed a "lot in between, including the ancient capital, Kyoto. David Marra: he urges other UB stu dents to see the world . "l can get by in Ja panese," said Marra, but during this trip he hopes to gain greater fluency. Marra had planned to anend graduate school in the United States. This opportunity should bring him closer to exactly what he wants to do - earn a dual degree in international aiTairs and 0 business administration. DUBOIS make sure the errors of the past weren't extended. .. As a humanitarian, he was always pushing human rights,'" Davis said. " At the core is the idea that human equality is necessary to wipe away the notion that a whole section of humanit y is depraved and inherently unequal. " Du Bois struggled with the "twoness" of being black and being an American. Docs an observance such as Black His tory Month only increase segregatj on'! "The dual ity of spirit to which Du Bois referred is inescaR~ble. ·· Davis said. "It's not peculiar tb black Americans." Others think of themselves as Italian- "Black Americans must be both black & American. To be just one or the other does not capture the full sense of _ being." Americans or G~man-American s. Each of us has a variety of roles - we're · male or fQmale; so.ns or daughters, and brothers or sisters. We think of ourselves in terms of religious affiliation. "So in part, Du Bois was saying that black Americans must see the mselves as black and American. To see themselves only as black or only as A.nerican does not capture the full sense of being." By selling aside a Black History Month, we're emphasizing. but not se parating or excluding. Davis explained . It's pan of our social pattern to give special emphasis to things at particular umes of the year. At Christmas time. we talk about glad tidings and joy. .. We emphasize a cenain spirit in the hopes that it will enlighten us through the year," Davis said. Du Bois died in 1963, the day before the famous March on Washington where Martin Luther King delivered his stirrin!f"l Have a Dream" speech . Du Bois was eulogized by Kin g. D u Bois" life story did not have a rosy ending. He was embiuered by his treatment in the United States and disappointed with the too meager progress in eradicating oppression in America, Davis said. Du Bois spent his !inal years in Ghana. He was 80 years old when he was denied a passport by the country to which he had given great service, Davis pointed out. He had been taken to court and been tried for being un-American. · And Du Bois was a cdlimmmate idealist. " When one has high ideals, it's difficult to be satisfied" with one's gains, Davis said. · "D.u Bois was a man of many parts. While the idealist may not have been satisifed with the creation of a world that recognized human eq uali ty, t he organizer and t~e scholar had great Guests at the opening reception for the W.E.B.

Du Bola Edward Burghardt , : u Bois, a civil rights eadt:r and one of the • foremost black intellcctu· : als of the 20th century, 9S ~ and ·.·,: scarcely wastedlived a moment~ A ny o ne of us would gladly take any three YClifS of Du Bois' iJJi, aDd call it , a job weU done, commented T J. Davis; : professor of African-American Studies : at UB and a historian. • Born in 1868, Du Bois was a pioneer : of the civil rights movement. He was a : : founder of the Niagara Movement, an organization which pressed for equality : for black Americans. Begun 1n 1905, it : .talces its name from Niagara Falls. : Can~ a, where it 1irst m et. : Du Bois was also a co-founder of the : National Association for the Advance- : ment orColored People (NAACP). He • : established"'tn:si.-. the group's official publication. : As a leader of the Pan-African • Movement, Du Bois addressed the problem of race not only in America but in Africa as well. Writing was a slcill he acquired at an early age. When be was in high school, Du Bois was a correspondent for New York oewspaJ)ers. .He later edited the magazines Moon and Horizon, and Browniu Book, a monthly publication for children. In his 95 years, he wrote scores of books and thousands of articles, Davis said. Among his man)' role$, Du Bois was a scholar. He. receiVed two B.A.s ooe from rJSt Unive111ity in Nashville, Tenn., and the .other, cum lllutk, from Harvard. He won a scholanbip and studied economics and history in Ger- : many for two years. • · He ilid his graduale worlt at Harvard aJiil in 1895 became fint IIIKk in U, S. to~ alloclonlle in Iristory. His~ 1Jie~on :: i A. Silverman Undergraduate Library, continues through Feb. 12. It is on loan from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. For many of the people who visit the exhibit, this will be an Introduction to Du Bois. Though he has a lengthy list of accomplishments, tbey may never have even beard of him. very ignorant of a lot "AU of us of things," Davis satd philosophically. " As individuals, we can all survive with a modicum of knowledge. But there are persons and ideas that enhance our lives. •Du Bois is one of those persons." The ideas he foun4ed or fostered are still pertinent to us today, Davis said. For instance, Du Bois insisted that the world's development and the development of industrialized nations must not be at the expense of less developed nations. This is a powerful concept today as we reckon with the Third World and Third World debt, Davis noted. Domestically, Du Bois preached that one group should not succeed economically, politically, or socially at the expense of others. He was a staunch advocate of women's rights, Davis said. Particularly later in life, Du Bois became a staunch pacifist. In 1950, he led a campaign to ban the atomic . bomb. ~He was a staunch betiever that the horror of World War II could not be repeated if mankind was to survive," Davis said . • are E0 reason B~is ne that Du might not be well known today is beCause of his Communist connections~ i ~:fu~.~v~~~ f:'ai~~tten,.:: the the 19SO of lire....,._ sr- JhMt-trifM Urif.. : tUI'ned a do i caused by unbridled individWilism. : Though be admitlcd 1hele.,.were : ' : In 196 I, be joined tbe Communist Party.

Davis claims that some of his students donl eVCR lcnow who Martin Luther King, Jr. Was. You have to remember, he adds, that these students were born after lting was assassinated. • And they donl lcnow who John or Roben Kenpedy were, either. •History is something Americans ~~~ paid little atiention to," Davis one The American cultuJe is that looks forward, not ltotclt, be ex,pWned.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"It's not as tight as some budgets were when I first carne here," such as 1982 and 1983, be told the UB Council last week. "But it's tighter than last year. I hate to see us lose the momentum of the last three years." Each year, SUNY and other State agencies send their budget requests to the governor. The governor then comes out with a proposed budget, which is usually mo9ified by the legislature before it is passed. "Every year I've been here, the budget generally ends up higher than · it started," Sample noted. "But where it started is pretty important - this year it started pretty low." There bas been speculation that Governor Mario Cuomo fashioned a fiscally conservative budget to improve . his chances of being drafted ·- -' ......... Spending tops $72 million . in '86-87 By SUE WUETCHER S ponsoi-ed program expenditures at UB grew by $11.6 million during fiscal 1986-87. Faculty spent $72.7 million in funds pro· vided through grants for research and teaching during the latest fiscal year, according to figures released this week by the University's Office of Sponsored Programs Administration. That figure rep~nts an increase of about 18 per cent over the 1985-86 total of $61.1 million. It represents the amount of money spent from externally funded grants, rather than the amount actually awarded. Annual spending is the standard measure used since many grants are awarded over several years. The $72.7 million includes $45.2 million spent by faculty in campusbased departtnents and funnelled through the ,Research Foundation of ·State University of New .York and $21.6 million expended by members of the graduate faculty at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. About $2.7 million was spent by ·---pa~2 �January 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 14 RESEARCH faculty affi li ated with Children's and Buffalo General hospi tals; $876,005 by those affiliated with Millard Fillmore Hospital and the Veterans Administration Medical Center; $884,750 through the Research Institute on Alcoholism; 5779.227 through the Calspan-UB Research Center (CUBRC); and $273,634 through the University at Buffalo Foundation, Inc. Of the $45.2 million channeled through the Research Foundation, $32.9 million or 72 per cent , came from the federal government and $2.7 million or 5 per cent, from the State of New York . Funding also included $1.3 mil- lion from other universities and nonprofit organizations, $470,000 from private corporations and other commercial entities, and $443,000 from private foundation-s. Information on funding ~ sou rces for the money not channeled through the Research Foundation was unavailable. reas tallying the highest percentage A growth in spendi ng from the previous year include .the Faculty of Educa tionaJ Studies, whose expenditures more than quadrupled over the previous year, from $535,763 to $2,483,682; the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, whose spending grew trom $5,288,658 to $8,897,883; the School of Health Related Professions, whose expenditures jumped from $44.807 to $279,136; the School of Management, which nearly doubled its spending from $273,54 1 to $531,991 ; and the School of Social Work, where spending rose from $79,970 to $3 16,257. The School of Medicine continued to attract and spend more grant money than any other discipline 1 with a total expend iture of S 19.4 million , an increase of s~.5 million over last year's figure. Elsewhere in the health sciences, the School of Dental Medicine spent $4 million, the School of Nursing spe nt $906,710, and the School of Pharmacy recorded nearly S I. 9 million in SPONSORED PROGRA; .; EXFE·,c,f- ..Jt--ES expenditures. Charles Kaars, interim director of Sponsored Programs Administration , attributed the increase in spending in Engineering to the S2.6 million spent by the University's Research Center for Earthqu ake Engineering and Systems Dynamics and the National Center for Ea rth quake Engineering Research, which )¥liS established with a five-year, S25 million grant from the National Science Found ation (NSF). Last year was the firs t year money from the NSF grant was recorded. Kaars also cited faculty recruitment by Dean George Lee.

Cawley recent ly received grants from the U.S. Office of Special Education for studies of the mathematics performances of the learning disabled and mildly retarded. Noble was awarded separate grants from the New York State Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Erie County Department of Social Services to study supported employment programs. Kaars notes that the Graduate and Research Initiative , a five-year plan to upgrade graduate education and research within the SUNY system, also helped U 8 attract maj or researchers to the faculty. · ...Some of the money is being used to equip laboratories," he said. " It's acting as a bit of a catalyst ; we're being able to attract some senioi people, get them established and going (on research) preuy quickly." 0 Co-inventor of talking computer to be honored uffalo native Louis J. Gerstman, Ph.D ., whose research a t Bell Telephone Laboratories produced the first t alking com puter, has been selected by t he State University of New York Board of Trustees to receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree at U B's General Commencement, May 22. Gerstman is a 1949 UB graduate who --:as named to Pbi Beta Kappa during has undergraduate career. He earned the A.M. in psychology at Harvard where he studied with S.S. Stevens, a sensory psychophysiologist, and noted linguist Roman Jakobsen. At New York University, where Gerstman earned the Ph.D. degree in experimen t al psychology, his mentor was Hans-Lukas Teuber. In 1961 , as director of the co mputer simulation of speech project at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, N.J ., Gerstman applied his combined k.nowledge of speech, psychology, and linguistics to an IBM 7090 computer. Self-taught on the relatively new device, he and Bell's John Kelly invented the ftrst talking computer by teaching it to respond vocally to typewritten phonetic information. ' A subsequent program he developed for IBM was originally set to "play" the role of HAL, the schizophrenic computer featured in the movie, "200 I: A Space Odyssey." W.ben IBM aod the film company later could not reach an agreement, HAL's lines were spoken in ·the movie by a human actor - something wbich became an ironic " inside" joke, Gerstman says. --- =::, $97,500 OFRCE OF THE PROYOST C urrently, Gerstman heads the basic and applied neurocognition program at City University of New York's City College and is a well-known pioneer in neuropsychology, the discipline which serves as a bridge between clinical neurology and experimental psychology. His research has served to clarify the nature of several types of memory dysfunctions as well as disorders of eye and speech, aiding assessment and retraimng of patients who have congenital anomalies, neurologic disease or inj ury that has affected their' communicative abiljties. Other important research with which he is associated demonstrated the phenomenon of stages of processing information over time by the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Much of his basic research has emphasized the process of communicatiOn, verbal and non-verbal. He is a Fellow in the New Yo r k Academy of Sciences and is listed in American Men of Sc~nce and Whos Who in IM &st. An exP."rt witness on ' the scientific inadmissibility of "voiceprints," Gerstman maintains a " Buffalo connection" by serving on UB's subcommittee on neuropsychologic assessment and the cogmtive rehabilitation task force on traumatic brain injury. During a visit to Buffalo last year, Gerstman told the Buffalo News that be greatly valued the education be received in 811ffalo - at Lafayette High School and UB. . "Living in Buffalo, I got the best I education that was available anywhere," he said. 0 ......... OkeofhONn Sl""' 17.516 $9,114 S9271 SI9.D36 . . . .1)53 $232 $ 1.705 ....,. M&M~ ......,.._ .........

In what the NeK'S desc ribed as a preemptive attack on critics who will charge that the governor's budget shortchanges SUNY , Cuomo pubhcly chastised Jerome B. Komisar, SU Y's acting chancellor. The gover· nor had asked agency heads to find places to economize. Komisar answered that for SUNY reductions in resources will lead to reductions in quality. Cuomo said that a refusal to cut e,ven a penny is irresponsible. Komisar"s prepared statement didn't address Cuomo's criticisms, but it did call the_ proposed budget "tight and demand mg." It will take time to analyze the budget , but it's ''clear that the University will have to postpone programs it was hoping to implement during this next ftseal year,"' Komisar said. The governor, who has been accused by some of tryi ng to re-establish his cont rol ove r ~UNY th rough the budget process, has a 30-day amendment period during which he can change his bud get proposal. .. We are making ou r needs known." said Valdemar Innus. associate vice president for resource planning ... We are hopeful that the amendment period will be used to address our need s.Meanwhile. people at UB are still trying to decipher the proposal. This is the analysis so far: • Total Budget: UB asked for S202.6 million and would receive SI87 mill ion under the governor's proposal. • Tu ition : Tuiti on rates wo uld remain the same. Cuomo al so suggested that tui tion eventually be eliminated. though it wouldn~ happen during his tenure as governor, according to the Buffalo News. • • Dorm Rates: The proposal is to raise dorm rates an average of $77 per bed for the yea r at U B. according to Dennis Black . associate vice provos t for student services. (Dorm rates are part of a different. self-supporting budget for the residence halls.) • GR I: SUNY would get o nl y partial funding for the Graduate and Research Initiative under the governor's budget, and not all of that is new money, UB officials argue. SUNY asked for $13.9 million and would get $10 million under the gover· nor's plan. However, $7 million of that isn't new money, but is the ..fruit" of GRI activities, said Innus. The S7 mil· lion would come from raising the research "tithe- from $8.4 million to Sl5.5 million. (The tithe is money the State takes from research grants to cover the costs of doing research on campuses - costs such as heat and light.) After collecting an additional S7 mil· lion from the campuses. th e State would then rea ppropriate the money back to SUNY for the GR.l budget. "Certa inly from our poi nt of view. this is not new funding," lnnus noted . • Undergraduate Initiative: The governor included no funding at all for this plan. SUNY had asked for $13.2 million. ProPosed as a complementary program to the GRI , the aim of the Undergraduate Initiative is to help SUNY educate and . ~",~;_-educate people to meet the demand s of our changmg ~~~ Elrthquake C enter: There's no specific funding in Cuomo's budget for the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research.

Under a provision of the approval, UB will have to remain at Division II for three years, before moving ahead with plans to compete in Division I in most -spans. In announcing the formal approval of the upgrade. Athletic Director Nelson E. Townsend noted that football would remain at Division Ill until 1991 "when the University will position it in the app ropriate classification to achieve the goals set tor the intercollegiate athletic program." T O.n Tuesday, Jan . 12. the Division If deleg~tes to the NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tenn .. approved U B's request for a waiver of the second year in compliance with all Division II regulations. (Two years of such compliance are ordinarily required prior lO any upgrade.) The NCAA Council , comprised of 44 men and women v.•ho act as the governing body of the NCAA. voted on th e recommendation on Thursday, Jan. 14. The Buffalo News reported on Jan . 16 that th e vote had been favorable . but that news was unofficial. Universitv administrators were advi ed that the\' Would receive official notification of \he Councirs decision from the national offices at Mission. Kansas . within one to two weeks of the meeting. That word came Tuesday. eclassification from Di visio n Ill. R the Universi ty's current level of athletic competition. to Division II will allow UB to offer grants-in-aid. sometimes referred to as ··scholarships.- to student-athletes based on athletic ability. It is also the first official step in UB's plan to eve ntu ally return to Division I sta tus. UB had applied for reclassification to Division II for 1987-88, but the petition was denied by the NCAA because the University's athletics program was not in compli ance wi th all Division It regulations at th at tim e. Specifically, UB had not met the Di visio n II one-year tt!::.>idency requirement for student-athletes who had transferred from anothe r four-year institution duri ng the previous two years. UB administrators had been aware of the Division II residency requirement and had hoped for an immediate waiver of the rule by the NCAA because of an accelerated plan to upgrade the athletics program. The University has been in compliance with all other Division II regulations since 1985-86 and is currently in com pliance wi th all regulations, including the reside ncy rule. UB received approval for awarding athletic grants-in-aid from the SUNY Board of Trustees in February, 1987, in response to a request by President Steven B. Sample and at the recommendation of Dr. Clifton R. Wharton. then SUNY chancellor. A fi~e- to seven-year plan to upgrade the intercollegiate ath letics program from Division Ill through the Division II level to Division I was developed by the Universi ty's Intercollegiate Athletics Board ( JAB) at the direction of Dr. Sample. he plan recommends that six programs - men's and women 's basketball, men 's and women's swimming & diving, women's volley ball, and men 's wrestling - receive immediate funding, including grants-in-aid, for development to the Division II level. T Eight other current programs men's and women's cross country. men's and women's socce r, men's and women's te n nis. and men's a nd women's track & field - will be developed as the funding becomes available . Football, because of the greater financial su pport required at the Divisio n II level, will remain in Dh·ision Ill pending the 1991 decision mentioned by Townsend . The JAB recommended that football should eventually be upgraded to the . CAA Division f-AA level. which includes the Ivy -League institutions and other public universities and colleges in the 'orthcast whose athletic and academic philosophies are similar to U B's. UB will be required to remain at the NCAA Divisio n II level in all sports for a minimum of three years before being eligible to petition for Division 1 membership. If basketball is reclassi fied into Divis!on I, all o ther spans, " nh the exception of football , must also be elevated to that level of competition. In anticipation of the NCA A\ approval, the University began its tran. sition from Division Ill to Division 11 this year by upgrading some of the sports teams' schedules. Both the men \ and women's basketball teams are cu r rently competing as conditional mem ber< of the Division II Mideast Collegi at Conference; other program s ha1 en tered conference championships, and three Division I opponents were add ed to the wrestl ing team's schedule. Men's basketball, in particular, ha achreved some success at its upgrad ed level. The Bulls, I0-9 overall, have a 6 record against Division II foe> to date and have won three of six ga mt•, against Mideast Conference teams. C\ en though the results do not count in the league' standings.

Provost William Greiner looked for somc'? ne with a fresh perspective on athletics. He asked Judith Albino former associate provost, if she would accept the task. Her init ial reaction? "That's the craz.iest thing I ever heard!" exclaimed Albino. who "probably knew as little about intercollegiate athletics as anyone" at the time. The provost's request came at a crucial time, when the University's bid to upgrade its athletics program from DivlSion Ill to D ivision I spans was in the early planning stages. Albino decided to accept the challenge. That meant having to learn abo ut coJiegiate sports in general and to make tough decisions about the futures and budgets of certain sports here. Until the recent arrival of Nelson Townsend , UB's new athletic director Albino served both as overseer of tru; ath letics program and as a non-voting member of UB's Intercollegiate Athletics Board (l AB). That board has been responsihle for planning the University's upgrade. W ve n with Towns end 's ar rival, however, Albino didn\ immediately put aside her commitment to UB's upgraded spons program. On Jan. 12, she helped present the University's req uest for accelerated upgrading to the Division II level of play in front of the Division II assembly of the NCAA. That request was almost unani mously approved by the assembly and passed along to the NCAA Council which approved it also. This means that varsity teams (excluding football , E which is scheduled to remain at Divi~ sion Ill for now) will play at the Division II level for the next three years. whtch tS nght on track with the lAB's plan. she said. The exact time frame for the next move, to Division I spons, will depend largely on the outcome of fund-raising efforts, which will really test the potential for the football program here. Albino noted. Albino is quick to point out that her job did not involve directing the athletics program. It was, rather. to provide administrative oversight for the program, a critical role over the past few years. Of course. it meant learning a lot about many different sports, Albino explains. One of the benefits of that spilled over to her home life with her football-enthusiast husband and sons. "We haven 't missed a Bulls home game in two seasons, and they e\·en got me out to see the Bills a few times.·· she noted. "Of course, it was the JAB who did all the groundwork, who developed the info rmation on which to base decisions," she noted, "but at so me point we had to balance the fairly idealistic plan the lAB had drawn up with the harsh 'realities of what I could determine to be realistic budget projections. ·· Those projections are, of course. limited to UB's potential for develop ing lbino found that the administration . of ath letics IS a very com plicated busmess.

"We do n~ have a good enough record," he said . "We have to be realistic. We're not going to go 17-10 the rest of the way and a 15-12 or 14-13 record just won~ make it." Despite the difficulty of the remaining schedule - games away at Gannon and Philadelphia Textile and home dates wi th LeMoyne and Pace - Bazzanl still feels the team can reach its goal of a .500 season. They're consistently inconsistent By FRANK BAKER I A s he looks toward next year, _Bazzani seems enthusiastic, yet cauttous. On the positive side, Bazzani will finally be able to offer scholarships to his recruits, will lose only one player to grad uatio n. and has a nucleus of three or four returning players who know his system and can contribute heavily. Unfortu nately, every silver cloud has a gray lining. The Bulls' mentor also knows he needs help in three specific areas: a trut center who can ease the team's troubles with rebounding. a quick. outside·shooting forward . and a guard who can shoot the three-point shot consistently. "We haven~ had a true center all year," lamented Bazzani . "Billy (Smith} and Darryl (Hall) have played there. but they aren~ real centers. Also, "we haven't had an vone shoot the three point shot consistently," he satd . .. Those are our two biggest weak· nesses ... As a result of the team's doughnut look - nothing in the middle - Bazz.ani has now $Witched to a three guard offense. The addition of the sharpshooting Coleman this semester. who joins Brace Lowe and \Vashington in the backcourt. made the move possible. may be a contradiction in terms, but the best way to describe the UB Bulls' ( 10-9) basketball season thus far is to say that it"s been cont sistently inconsistent. For example, take last wee1c 's 91 -85 loss to little University of PittsburghBradford . "That loss was the toughest one to swallow this year," said Head Coach Dan Bazzani. "We should have won. We had better talent. but we showed no effort on defense. " We took them too lightly," he added . " We aren~ good enough to take anyone lightly." That frustrating loss came less than two weeks after what could possibly be called UB's biggest win in years. a 7570 defeat of Potsdam College on their home 'Court . The win snapped the Bears· 53-game home court winning streak and was only their second loss of the seaso n. C urrentl y, Potsdam is ranked ninth nationally in Division Ill. "This team has teased me. " noted Bazzani. "We've played well in spots, but then come right back down to earth the next night. It's been a real rolle r coaster ride, but that's typical of a yollng team." A s he lo ok s bac k o n rhe y ear. B az· T an up and down performance by his young cagers, one needs only to o ill ustrat e Bazz.a ni's contention of look at the stat sheet. On one hand , the Bulls boast foor of five starters with scoring averages in double figures - a sure sign of good balance, patient offense, and, yes, consistency. But, on the other hand , only one of the first nine players on the team is shooting better than 50 per cent from the field - a mark of poor shot selection, hurried shooting, and, yes. inconsistency. Despite those two polar opposites, the Bulls have managed to string together some impressive outings, for instance their four out of five wins from January 3-12. However, just when the team seems ready to shed its mediocrity, another losing streak comes alo ng, such as the three in _a row from January 13-2 I. H owever. with the ir two victories . both on the road, in the Bulls most rece nt outings, perhaps the team has finally turned the corner and is on its way to respectability. In last Saturday's meeting with Pace University in New Yo rk City, the Bulls gave a gutsy performance to come back from an eight-point halftime deficit and defeat the highly touted home team, 71-{)9. The Bulls, who were led by forward Darryl Hall's 21 points and 16 rebounds, used a pressing man-to-man defense to hold Pace ( JO-{l) to a dismal 30 per cent shooting percentage in the second half. Freshman Ricky Coleman added II points and co-captain Michae l Washington II assists for the Bulls. who continued their poor shooting from the field ; this time averaging just 40 per cent for the game. On the following night, the Bulls once again turned their play up a notch in the second . half and went on to defeat Adelphi University 81-{)9. UB was led by Ed Jones' strong play off the bench and Michael Washington's complete performance at point guard. Jones · finished with 8 points, while Washington added 17 .points and 7 assists. and Hall chipped 111 with 13 points and I I rebounds. The Bulls' victory not only put them over .500 for the season, but also evened their record in the Mideastern Conference at 3-3. urprisingly. Bazzani said that it was the Bulls' good start at the beginS ning of the season that has led to the team's overall inconsistency. "When we scored 120 points against St. Anselm (a 125-120 overtime loss in the opening round of the Keene State Classic) and then blew out Queens College the next night, we thought we were an offensive team," he said . "The truth is, we don~ shoot the ball very well. " The team 's overall average of 45 per cent from the fie ld seems to bear out Bauani's assess ment. Even with ~theinconsistency. Bau.ani remains opti is c about his team and the future of s basketball program. "All in all. I th ink we're about where I ex pected us to be." said Bazzani. " I don't thin k anyo ne really expected us to win this year. The truth is, we're a zani said he could see both positives and negatives. " We had hoped for a few more wins," he said . " But , we did steal a couple games which we had no right winning. "The effort has been there all year ... he continued . " It's been a great team to work with."' The Bulls return to Alumni Arena February 2 for a game with LeMoyne College. 0 good. no. an outstanding Division Ill team that is playing a Division II schedule.

UB's Department of Public Safety, worlcing in conjunction with other members of the Crime Prevention Association of Western New York., is sponsoring the event. The lecture is an effort to help educate both students and residents of the ' area surrouoding the campus about ways to help prevent, and report, rape. Most students· or ~idenu living on or arouod the Main Street Campus are well aware that there bu been a string of .related, u yet unsolved, sexual assaults that have plaped the area in recent montbl. 1lle llpCOIIIiq worbhop is ah attempt by Public Safety to cue the tension that bu been buiJdins over the case and to auwa- q.-ioas people may have repnliDa tbe situmioa.. Acconlin& to 1aspector Daniel Jay of Public Safety, IIOivin& this particular series of rapes i~ i;" _the forefront of the department's acllVlttes. "This case is on everybody's number one priority list," he said. ~we're working closely with three other departments (Buffalo Police and the towns of Tonawanda and Amherst Police) and have many leads and tips to follow up on." Jay added that each department is in daily contact with the others in an effort to keep all information on the case up-to-date. Currently, nine rapes in the University Heights diStrict of Buffalo are being investigated by Buffalo Police. ln addition, there are six reported attacks under scrutiny by the Amherst, Tona·wanda, and Public Safety depart- menta. · 1lle latest incidents occurred last weekend on Lisbon Ave. in Buffalo and near University Plaza.

Still sturdy, they been ravaged by 100 winters and ten years of bitter neglect. Designed in · 1870 by the famous American architect H.H. Richardson seven empty buildings of the asytuni are now managed by the State's Office of General Services and are considered surplus. However, Richardson's original :<dmini~tration buil_dinR, with its impos•118 tWin towers, a- U used by the modero.<Jay Buffalo ~chiatric Center. Lynda Scbneekloth and Marcia Feuerstein, professors of architecture at UB, have received a $30,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to. study the "adaptive reuse~ of the Richardson buildings and similar structures across the countty. Scbneeklotb says the Richardson buildings, like other large institutional structures built in the I!hb century, have outlived their original purpose. "These buildings once housed important institutional functions, such as the housing of the mentally ill, tuberculosis ·patients, the elderly, etc. Others housed tmportant civic functions such as governmental office$, police stations, jails, etc. . "But these buildings aren't used anymore because society has decided to care for these individuals in a different manner. Also, more strin~nt safety codes have made the buildtngs unsuitable for their original purposes." Adds Feuerstein: ~Another problem is that, althou~ usually structurally sound, these buildings often aren't flexible in terms of their ~ten!ial reuse. Also, the costs are so high that a regular developer can't just walk in and take over." F cuerstein continues: uTheie are jurisdictional issues as well, since the State is often the owner. Another difficulty is that many of the buildings are historic structures. So there are many regulations governing their rehabilitation. Still, many of these buildings are quite beautiful apd can be reborn if appropriate reuses ~ be found." The $30,000 NEA grant has been matched by $15,000 each from the Office of General Services and the Office of Mental Health, both State agencies. The grant is beinl! used to support last fall's lecture senes on the Richardson Buildings, as well as a natiopal symposium on "Adaptive Reuse of Historically Significant Institutional Buildings and Grounds,~ April 21-23 in the Burchfield Art Center. -... The grant will also fund a report on results •of the lecture series and the s~'posium, as they might affect potenual reuse of the Buffalo Psychiatric Center and its grounds. (lbe Office of General Services recently began a feasibility study to determine bow the vacant buildings should be used.) The grant will also pay for the publication of the symposium papers. For Sebneeldoth and Feuerstein, the Richardson Buildings are a perfect focal point for their research. Desi~~­ nated a National Historic Landmark m 1986, the Richardson complex has been vacant for more than 10 years, with the exception of the central administration building. The empty buildings are rapidly decaying, although the State recently appropriated $1.6 million to "stabilize" them. The U B researchers believe there is a lesson in the sucoessful rehabilitation of old railroad stations and movie palaces around the countty. In their view, any redevelopment scheme for the Richardson buildings ought to p~rve the original appearance, with redesigned • interiors serving new uses. Both favor a "mixed use~ of the 400,000 square-foot Richardson complex. Th1s might include community, educational, and cultural centers. Rich.ardson designed the buildings as he was forging a new and distinctive style, one that came to be known as "Richardson Rom&DOSque." Tbe bui14inp were sited and landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the foremost landscape architects of their time. In 1870, the asylum's 203 acres were directly west of Olmsted and Vaux's MTbe Park,~ now Delaware Park. A report prepared by Foit-Albert k Associates notes that "the solidity of the stone, its rough surface, and its dark color served to unify the center of the (Richardson) complex, and created a distinctive silhouette against the greenery of the foliage surrounding it and the azure of the sky above." The report continues: "Richardson designed the steeply gabled roofs with crisp lines and angles, free of superfluous details. "The eye easily travels across the tops of the buildings, from one end to the other, unobstructed by elaborations." T he Richardson buildings are also important in the history of medicine, especially in tbe treatment of the mentally ill. Richardson designed the hospital along the · lines of the Kirkbride ~tern. named after Dr. Thomas K.irkbnde, a l!hb century Philadelphia pbysicia~o was one of the first to treat i~ as an illness. Kirkbride favored a rambling _Plan that would provide plenty of sunlight and fresh air. Before Kirkbride, the mentally ill were usually relegated to unsavory poorhouses". -In Richardson's design, the separate, free-5tanding pavilions also allowed for the classificauon of patients acc:ording By ANN WHITCHER to the nature of their disturbance, also part of the Kirkbride plan. In Olmsted's original design, there was (annland behind the buildings, extending to Scajaquada Creek. The idea was that patients would work the land as a therapeutic measure. The original Olmsted landscaping plan also called for "airing courts for excitable patients~ and "pastured pleasure grounds." An enclosed area around the buildings would "protect the patients from the gaze and impertinent curiosity of visitors and from the ~xcitement occasioned by their P..resence 10 the grou nds." T be Richardson complex consisted of five pavilions stretching from either side of the central administration building, plus a series of unconnected buildings. The first patients were admitted in 1880, but the entire complex was not completed until 1895, nine years after Richardson's death. In 1969, the three easternmost ward buildings were demolished. Speakers at the A~ symposium will include Giorgio Caviglien, a New York City preservation an::h.itcct who designed the reuse of Jefferson Market Courthouse and the Shakespeare Festival Theatre, both in Greenwich Village. Also speaking will be Anthony D. King, SUNY-Binghamton social historian whose books include ColoniDI Urban /Xv,.lopment and Buildmgs and Society. and William Berg of Trafalgar Capital Associates in Boston. Presenting case studies will be representatives of the Old Idaho State Penitentiary in Boise, a 12-building structure on 500 acres that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; the Old Police Headquarters in Manhattan, a one-block structure that has been converted, into luxury condominiums, and Building J on the Oregon State Hospital campus, a building that has roughly the same plan and organization as the Richardson complex. Co.<Jirector of the April symposium is Barbara Caml'agoa. director of the Landmark Soc1ety of the Niagara Frontier and a preservation architect.

Last year Time magazine named her one of the nation's 20 best college 11 ude nts. She was recently one of two fi nalists nominated by New York State lor the Rhodes Scholarship. :-low she's done it again. Daphne Bascom has become the first SUNY ,tuden t ever to be awarded the presti"ous Marshall Scholarship. The award pays full tuition for two or three years at any British university she chooses an d includes a stipend for living c\penses. The Marshall Scholarships were e,tablished by the British government m 1953 to honor the late U.S. Secretary of State, George C . Marshall, "hose " Marshall Plan" helped rebuild furo pe after World War H. Although she was obviously a gl>od contender, Bascom did not expect to "m the prize. She had narrowly missed "mning the Rhodes Scholarship, and had actually entered both contests, ..JUSt to see what would happen," she S said. Winning the Marshall Scholarship has taken a lot of pressure off Bascom. She is a biology major, and until the prize was announced, she had been planning to go straight to medical school. For the moment, she can forget about those stressful medical school interviews. What has she been doing instead? " Recl!perating," she sighed. She's been spend_ing time with her famil y wht.eh at Urnes, she said, has taken a back seat to her studies. She's been reading, or going to the library, which she loves. And she's been playing with her computer. B Daphne Bascom: headed for Britain. ascom 's successes have brought her a great deal of celebrity. How does she feel about that? "YUK!" exclaimed Bascom. She is ve ry modest about her ~mplishments, and prefers to stress the~r tmponance to the UB Honors Program and to future students. An important benefit of having won the scholarship, said Bascom, is that it proves SUNY students can compete for the most prestigious awards. For Bascom herself, the award means postponement _of her plans to attend medical school, and the chance to travel abroad for the first time. · " Medical school will always be there for me," said Bascom. The award will also enable Bascom to do something that many students in the sciences miss out on enurely - study the humanities. It's not definite, but Bascom is thinking about studying the classics while in Britain. She is an avid reader, has enjoyed undergraduate cotirses in the humanities, and would lilr.e to learn more about issues in literature, history, and art. Bascom never has been the stereotypical nerd whose only joy in life is a good report card. In high school she ran track as a short- to middle-<listance runner, and went to both the State championships and the Empire State Games.

But that repon doesn't alarm UB researchers because they don't work with the live A IDS vi rus, explains Marie-Louise Hammarskjold, M .D., Ph.D., assistant profe sor of microbiology. Even hospital workers shouldn't be alarmed by the report, she noted. The mfccted lab worker bandied solutions that we re 1,000 times more concentrated than the bll>od or semen of a person who bas AIDS. Hammarskjold emphasized that the co ncentration of the solution makes a big difference. People working with co ncentrated solutions get exposed to a higher number of virus parttcles more ofte n. The re hasn't been a single case of a la b worker contracting the illness from carefully handling only dilute solutions of Vtrus, she noted. T he recent report of the infected lab worker is believed to be the fmt instance in which a researcher was infected · by the AIDS virus he was working with, d.Spite having followed all recommended safety precautions. The incident was reported m the journal Sc~nce. A research team made the discovery in the course of a two-year srudy of I 5 labs in six nates. Of the 99 workers studied who handled highly concentrated virus, only one was infected , Hammarskjold pomted out. "So the risk is very low," she said . Researchers at UB don' have to be fearful of a similar occurrence here because "as far as I know, nobod y at the University works with live virus," Hammarskjold said. She is one of . the UB researchers working under a number of AIDS grants, including a $4 million; threeyear grant from the National lnstitutc:s of H~alth . The research uses recombinant DNA technology and doesn' need the live AIDS virus.

Any garbage leaving the lab would go through an autoclave - that's a device like a steam pressure cooker that sterilizes material. · Although Hammarskjold doesn't know all of the .details in the case of the infected worker, she noted tbal many· laboratory accidents happen when people don' follow the written safety procedures. And if you work with a dangerous material for a long time and nothing bad happens, it's human nature to get sloppy, she noted. H ammarskjold added that this isn' a new problem; scientists have been working with dangerous viruses since the days of smallpox research. The infected worker reported that the concentrated solution containing the virus had occasionally leaked from laboratory equipment, but be wore gloves, a mask, and :. gowo when cleaning up spills. The research team concluded that lbe individual's gloved hand probably came into contact with the AIDS virus with unapparent and undetected exposun: ro the skin. People working with such concentrated .solutions shouldn' even touch the liquid containing the virus with the ir gloved hands , Hammarskjold explained. But gloves can be effective for nurses and other hospital employees because they don' come into contact with such large amounts of the virus, she noted. Researchers working with concentrated AlDS solutions must take other precautions as well, such as avoiding glass equipment which could break, she said. They should also use ventilation hoods when working with open containers of '(irus.

That message comes from Getald R. Shields, assistant dean of the UB School of Information and Library Studies (SILS).

But in their present day role as custodians of information, they are apt to say loudly, ~Get a court order! ..

As editor of a newsletter, Pressure Point, published quarterly by the Intellectual Freedom Round Table of the New York Library Association, Shields commented in a recent issue that the U B incident ~may be the catalyst that will move the research libraries to develop a universal system to protect the confidentiality of those clients using automated databases." The incident also raises the question, Shields observed, as to how th e FBI discovered that the student in question did, in fact, conduct one or more database searches. It should be clear, he wrote, that "secure and c<:tnfidential record keeping is essential to a research library's mission." Shields is certain of one thing. Librarians, he insisted, must never be called upon by the FBI or any other agency to ~spy" on library clients. ~FBI agents are the experts when it comes to spying and should perform the job they arc paid 10 do," he commented .

Shields, president ·of the New York Library Associatio,n in 1982-83, is deeply concerned by the pressure put on individual librarians in efforts by some persons to ban books and other information items in public libraries. Such objections could be tied to religious or political beliefs, moral issues, or any tssue that attracts differing viewpoints. Those who object to certain information in a public library arc advised by Shields to t;lke their complaints to court rather than try to force librarians to become censors. The availability to the public of all information in a public library ~is tbc price we have to pay for dem.ocracy,w Shields commented . In totalitarian countries, he added, ~only 'certain people arc allowed tb use librarics.w ln setting up his trip to interview librarians regarding their personal Shields received responses from 4S librarians who related incidents that had not surfaced publicly before.

Those he interviewed had respondeil to a notice he placed in various library publications, outlining his intentions.

"Just about anyone can get a subpoena," he noted, ~but to get a court order, the applicant must show cause." Incidents of privacy intrusions in libraries arc relatively rare, Shields observed, but librarians must be on the alert for such intrusions at all times. Besides the incident here, Shields said be knew of only two other recent incidents in New York State - at Columbia and New York University. from Iraq.

CSEA and the two units of UUP objected to the plan, which also calls for premium rates to be charged in the most convenient lots. But there have been other charges in the parking situation: T MAIN STREET CAMPUS • Michael Lot The rate for visitors in the Michael Lot today jumps to S3 a day if you arrive before I p.m. The rate was 50 cents. If you arrive between I and 3 p.m., the rate is $1.50. It's free after that. The reason for the increase is to make the policies on bllth campuses identical, said AI Ryszka, associate for campus services. However, year·long or semester-long parking permits aren' available at Main Street. The change takes effect today so it wouldn' surprise people the day they returned from break, he added. AMHERST CAMPUS • Fronczak Lot: For the Fronczak paid-parking lot (P 5E and F), permits for the spring semester only are available for S50. Last semester, only SIOO annual permits were sold. Anyone, even people who aren't faculty, staff, or students, cao buy permits, Ryszka noted. If you don' buy a permit. the daily rate rn tbe Fronczak Lot is SJ if you arrive before I p.m., $1.50 if you arrive between I and 3 p.m. and free after that. (The rate had been S3 if you arrived before 2 p.m., $1.50 if yo u arrived between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. , and free after 7 p.m.) Those who pay the daily rate may n w get a pass which allows them to leave and return the .same day without having to pay again. Daily patrons had asked for a system that would allow them to leave for lunch and not be penalized, Ryszka explained. The driver must get tb"- re-entry pass from the booth before leaving and must come back with the same car. D rivers who want to avoid the parking crunch at the Spine can park in one of the outlying lots and take a parking shuttle. • Ryszka is experimenting with the Alumni Arena (PB) shuttle to try to make it more convenient. It will run along Putnam Way, l>ut instead of exiting at Governors R'esid,tnce Hall, it will continue on Putnam along the north side of the Spine. • The shuttle will stop anywhere along the route - just nag down the driver, he said. People working in the Computing Center requested the change, Ryszka explained. The route will take longer, so he will count the number of riders to see if it's worth keeping the new route. The three parking shuttles run from 9 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Here are the other routes: • From Crofts (P9) and Center for Tomorrow (P10) through Putnam Way to Capen Hall. 1111 sto p anywhere from Lockwood to CookeHochstetter -just nag down the driver. Ryszka said he encourages visitors to park: at the Center for Tomorrow. which is easy to find, and tak.e the shuttle to the. Spine. The driver can let them off at or very near their buildings. It's convenient and they won't get lost. • From Ellicott lots P1 and P2 to Hamilton Loop.

Books that have - been targeted for banning in various libraries include many well-known titles by such authors as Dante, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Mark Twain, whose The Adventuus of Huckkbe"y Finn bas been viewed as racist by some. Shields is""''':Tin in his belie( that access to libruy materials, under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, must be available to all ·Americans, including minors. He holds to tbe American Libruy Association's stance that, in tbe cue of minors, only parents cao restrict• ihcir children - and only their own children - from access to tibrary materials. He says it's not up to librarians to monitor what children see or read. · Shields reminded that the contents of a school or pubtic tibrary usually are determined by an administrator or administrative body, such as' a school board, that authorizes acquisition of books, videotapes, newspapers, magazines, and other informatJonal items. Legislative...bodies, be continued, set the moral and ethical standards, and courts, when called upon, determine whether tibraries are adhering to the standards. Nowhere in this process, Shields asserted, should librarians be called upon to "censor, ban or classify" a library's informational resources. In reference to classifying information, Shields recalled· the stocy, many years ago, of a youth who described in a scholastic paper how to construct a hydrogen bomb. The Y!'Uth ~osed at the time that tbe information be needed to create such a bomb all came from unclassified libruy materials. The Atomic -Energy Commission . tried, IIJIIUCCCSSfully, to censor the youth 'I ;paper. "lt aefinitely wasn't up to a librarian to mooitor this or any other penon's activity," Shields commented. "It would be an endless wk." 0 �January 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 14 ....--- Dr. Kornel Terplan, noted pathologist, dead at age 93 D r. Kamel Ludwig Terplan, 93, former chairman of the Pathology Depanment in the School of Medicine, died Nov. 21 at his new home in Sonnma, Calif. He taught two generations of medical students and was renowned for his studies of children's brain development. He had lived in Buffalo from 1930 to last June and had continued his brain research and pan-time teaching until a little more than a year before his death. Dr. Terplan was attracted to UB in 1930 by Dr. Carl Cori (then a young UB faculty member; later a Nobel Prize laureate). He, in tum, recruited several of the medical luminaries who led the University to prominence in bacteriol· ogy and microbiology. He attracted, for example, Ernest Witebsky and Erwin Neter to Buffalo, and that put UB "on the map" in those fields. This distinguished tradition that Dr. Terplan helped establish has continued. Until well into his 90s, Dr. Terplan continued to contribute his talents to the medical community. He remained the director of the Brain Pathology Lab at Children's Hospital and was consultant pathologist to several hospitals. In the Brain Lab, which be operated for 55 years, he spent his later yean; establishing a Pathology Museum for Children's Hospital and UB, working to catalog a collection of 120,000 slides.· Born in 1894 in Austria-Hungary, Terplan earned his bachelor's (summa cum laude) in 1912 from the. Humanistic Lutheran Gymnasium in Transylvania. He received his M.D. from the German University of Prague in 1919, one year before Carl Cori graduated from the school. He stayed there to become associate professor of pathology. "My first II years in the worldfamous pathology depanmeht were in relative isolation doing research," he used to say. One of his leisure activities then was mountain climbing and skiing in the Austrian Dolomites. In 1930, he recei>ed two invitations, one from Buffalo and another from "a very good university in Germany." "I was interested in the German position and they liked me, too." But the German chainnan, interestingly, recommended tbo.t the young Terplan go to the U.S. " B'ad times are coming soon," he told Dr. Terplan. That was enough to change his mind , "and so Terplan accepted UB's invitation. "I wouldn\ have lasted long in Germany because of Hitler. I would have left anyway. Besides, I felt much more at home teaching in Buffalo than in Prague." erplan first became known for his T research on TB, initiated in Prague. Among his several dozen TB anicles, autOimmunization. He also did much of the histological work for Witel!sJ<y as well as for another luminary, John Talben. Among his other achievements, be was: the most imponant work followed his bout and recovery from the disease in 1938, after which he gained international attention by being the first to determine and analyze the pathogenesis of recurrent TB in children. Terplan pioneered not only in TB, but also in Hodgkin's disease and thyroiditis. His dozen or so articles on Hodgkin's disease are widely quoted. He was proud .of being coresearcher with Witebsky on chronic thyroiditis and • discoverer of the detrimental effect on the intestinal tract of antibioticresistant staphylococci, caused by overuse of antibiotics, • first to describe exactly how brain damage in children with congenital hean disease can result f rQm catheteriation and su,rgery, • widely quoted for original work on genetic abnormalities trisomies 13, 17, and 18, • one of the first to describe fatal hypoglycemia in children due to insullin shock., • one of the first to describe the effects of laetrile intoxication on the brain, and • founder of the Buffalo Society of Pathologists. In addition to his research, Dr. Terplan 's leadership had a great effect on pathology in Buffalo. He was chairman of UB's Pathology Depanment for 26 years (1934-1960) and chief pathologist for Children's and Buffalo General hospitals for 30 years. During those decades he promoted the idea of full-time Medical School appointments ... so professors could devote time to teaching and research.... 0 94 from UB named to 'Who's Who Among Students' he 1988 edition of Whos Who Among Studmts in Am~rican Univ~rsit~s and CoUeges will include the names of 94 students from UB who have been selected "" natio nal campus leaders.

A new servia:. launched by the: Offitt of Teaching Effectiveness and the: Educational Communic&lions Center, aims to improve teaching effectiveness by videotaping teac.hers in the classroom. Once a class session is o n videotape. faculty can examine their styles, behaviors, a nd skills: pinpoint the' problc:ms. and begin to make changes to improve their ~hing. Videotaping can also be usc:d 10 practice a new teaching technique and, later, evaluate iu effectiveness in the classroom. Before providing the video equipment and a student operator, ECC and the: Office of Teaching Effectiveness meet with faculty to review the: overal l process, discuss the microtcaching rating scale and set up tbc: taping session. Once the videotape has been made, ECC or OTE staff bdp faculty identify the problems aDd determine the ste-ps to take to improve- lhctr teaching.

Through an unusual and courageous writing program, MOSAIC, we learn how the school system helps this generation of students deo~l more effectively with this rema rkable challenge both among themselves and within their communities. 2:6 " Neighborhoods." To each his own front door and his own front door key," says a character in a story by Doris Lessing. The arcliitectural facades and silent doorfronts of our neighborhoods create an aura of exterior anonymity and s.ameness. The real character of a neighborhood lies concealed m)'\· teriously withi n the interiors beyond the front doors . On a tour of his neighborhood in Salt lake City, Scott C.urier diK:overs that .beneath a bland exterior is an array of eccentric people with widely and irrc-:'l~Jcib bly different lifestyles.

Two weeks of fra-:"~tic phone ails a nd meetings we re set up to save the award-winning program . the on ly radio sh o w for children . Despite public outcry, Kids America is no longer offered on the nalioNI American Public Radio network .

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

State University of New York P8ge4 �December 10, 1987 Volume 19, No. 13 Trailers to provide extra research space at Amherst By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO U B is planning to move house trailers onto the Amherst Campus to answer its critical shon-term need for research spaee, President Steven Sample told the Faculty Senate Tuesday. ...There ~s such a crisis on some projeets, .this was seen as the only shortterm solution," he said. As part of a long-term solution, the University may also look for funding to construct a wet lab building on the Amherst Campus. It would be. almost as big as the Reereation and Athletics Complex. The University is getting more money for research, but it's running out of spaee, Sample explained. Because he vowed to himself when he left the University of Illinois never to build a temporary building, "the bureaucratic rule is that the wheels have to stay on the house trailers, .. Sample quipped. The proposal calls for the trailers to arrive this summer, said Valdemar lnnus, associate vice presiden t for resource planning. Though one faculty member com· plained that the 20-year-old temporary annexes on the Main Street Campus are ugly, Sample replied that they're functional and there are no prospects to tear them down. Sample said he considered cladding them in brick, but was told it was not a good idea While the short·term situation is tough. the long-tenn prospects for research spaee look good, Sample said . B may be able to press its case for a capital component to the Graduate and Research Initiative (G RI). It could then build a 150,000 sq uare-foot wet lab on the Amherst Campus and fully rehabilitate another 150 ,000 sq uare feet in Parker and Acheson on the Main Street Campus. That would be in addition to the already proposed 150,000 square feet of wet lab spaee that would connect to the Cary-Farber-Sherman Complex on the Main Street Campus. A light rehabilitation of Cary-Far ber-Sherman is also planned . The developers of Parcel B (site of the bookstore on the Amherst Campus) are considering construction of a 10- U story offiee building. The University is negotiating to get so me dry research spaee and student offices there, the president said . The offiee building would be in addi· tion to the planned hotel and confer· ence center. This summer, the bigh·tech incubator will open in Baird Research Park, the 16 acres on Sweet Home Road , Sample said. The University has an option to use half of the incubator space for research. In addition, the University may erect another building in the park. The buildings already on the drawing board or under construction won't solve the need for research space. Sample said . 0 More faculty involvement with minorities is urged By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ainstream faculty need to understand the culture of minority students in order to teach them more elfeetively and to im~rove their academic expe· rienee, W1lliam Fischer of English contends. He proposed this new approach to _. affirmative action at last week's Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. The senate's Affirmative Action Committee has been restaffed after being defunct for a year. Fischer's vision for the committee is to get mainstream faculty more naturally· involved with minority students and make those students more a part of the University. The facuJt)' often leave it up to special programs to take care of aiTmnative action. The result is that minority students stay special and distinct, he explained to the Reporter. Fischer wants the minority students to become part of the mainstream without losing their distinctive culture. Workshops for faculty might be used, but Fischer doesn' have a concrete plan. He's looking for discussion on the issue. Supporting the idea are Norman Solkoff, acting director of the Office of Teachin$ Effectiveness ; John A . Thorpe, vtee provost for undergraduate education; Malcolm Agostini, UB's affirmative action offieer, and Kay Martin, director of the Edueational Opportunity Program, FISCher said. When asked what be saw as the academic problems that minority students have, Fischer pointed to writi~g. But M be's not look in g for a remedial program. Instead , he said he wants faculty members to get to know the speeial experience of minority students and help them without making the students feel special or putting them into a remed1al status. The special programs just reinforee that feehng of sepa rateness. ... want to lessen the appa nt aca· demic differenees," be said . He also wants to make sure the newly revived Affirmative Action Committee doesn' worry about minority recruitment or spend its time count· ing how many minority students are here - there are plenty of groups doing that. Fischer also noted that there must be ineentives for faculty members who work for affirmative action. Affirmative action is a thankless task; there are no professional rewards, said Fischer, who has been involved with it during his 21 years at UB. One suggestion is to have work for affirmative action count toward promo· tion. Or, as has been done in the Undergraduate College, facult y members could be given money or course relief. ut nobody works for the Undergraduate College because of the extra money, said Dennis Malone of Eleetrical and Computer Engineering. The basic question faculty members should be looking at, Malone said, is what do they do with any student who's doing poorly in a course. Several faculty members said that if 8 help is offered to one group of students having trouble in the classroom, it sho uld be offered to all students who are having difficulties. But there is a racial dimension that exis ts in the classroom , countered Edward S. Jenkins of Learning and Instruction. Faculty members should go beyond the normal th ings they do for any student in order to help the minority student . Jenkins said he feels comfortable at U B, " but I know that some of the things that happen to me happen to me because I'm black," he stated. Students sometimes say they feel uncomfortable becau se of faculty members' statements, jokes, or insensi· live comments, he added. Minority students also complain of slights by white classmates, Jenkins noted. The white students will pass them in the hallway and not mention that they have found out their class bas been caneelled, for example. Or the students will meet in small groups and not ask the minority students to join them. .. To deny the'le's a racial dimension is to deny reality," Jenkins said. J enkins also said that he was disturbed by the diSCUSSIOn because 1t seemed that all mmonty students were portrayed as disadvantaged students. "Not every black s!udent .is a poor, downtrodden student, he pomted out. Fischer said be would include Native Americans, Asian Americans, women, and the culturally diSadvantaged, as well as blacks, when he's talking about mmonttes. Malone noted 'that women in engineering don't have problems with writing; they faee different problems. "The young ladies in eleetrical engi· neering don ' t have any proble ms. Period ," said Walter Sarjeant of Elec· trical a nd Computer Engineering. The problem is at its shrillest with black males, said John Boot , chairman of the Faculty Senate. It's not a fiction that some black males and others as a group perform at the low end of the scale. Don' play ostrich and say it's women or Asians, he told his col· leagues. We create some of the problems our· selves because of the somewhat mort elastic requirements for acceptance of minority students, Boot said. The question is what is expected o( faculty, not what they do because they're good guys, be said. Boot noted that be is helping one minority student outside of class and feels somewhat guilty over the asymme· try that creates. He probably wouldn' give the student so much help if the student weren' a minority individual, Boot noted. There's a problem with coodeseen· sion toward minorities that's b·uilt into ' - our social structure, Fischer said. It comes out even when there's a well· intentioned discussion of minorit y issues. Attitudes are very important when it comes to teaching elfeetiveness, be noted. lf the condeseeosion can be oeu· tralized 'by making the faculty familiar with the reality of minority students, it will go a long way toward improving the academic atmosphere. 0 Study -by Mohan to _ lead to comprehensive parking plan By FRANK BAKER harilr.s to a parking study that was conducted - and is now being analyzed - by Satish Mohan, associate professor of civil engineering, a comprehensive plan geared to aceommodate student, staff, and faculty cars on the Amherst Campus may be near at band. According to Frank Bartscheck , di~or of frnanee and man""'meot systems development, the admm.i straliOD is using Mohan's excellence in the field of transportation to combat parking woes. He solved a similar parking problem while at the University of Central Aorida by devisi~ a plan to provide park-and-ride servtees to students. Mohan added that he bas even worked on parking problems in Saudi Arabia T If the complexity of his study is any indication, lbeq Mohan sbould bave members of the campus community wollderiog what a parking ticket looks like within a year. The study was collducted only on the Amherst Campus becaule •parkins at Main Street is not a problem anymore," said Bartscheck. I n order to get a grasp on the number of cars that use the Amherst parking lots, how long they stay in each spaee, and when the highest use of spaees occurs each day, Mohan employed a kind of two-pronged study. During the week of Nov. 16-20, he installed nine cordon counters (the little rubber hoses that count the number of cars that drive over tbem) at all 15 entrances to the campus. The counters were used between 6 am. and 10 p.m. to measure the number of cars eoming on and leaving. Then, Mohan undertook an even bigger study. Qn Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 17 and 18, be and 52 students in the Department of Civil Engineering counted cars in aU spaees in all t~ lots on the i\mheat Campus every hour. That 'I nearly "The studeats each spaee e¥ery hour from 7 Lm. to 10 p.m., • . noted Mohan. "They noted the number of eacb car's liceue plate so when they clleck.ed the sp·aee· the_ ilext •bour they ..:C:.da<:es. could see if the same car was still iising it." Onee th fs part of the study is analyzed, Mohan will be able to tell bow often cars stay in one space and what lots have the most, or least, turnover every hour. One finding has already emerged, the times when the number of cars exceeds the number of spaees available are approximately1;etween 8 a.m. and noon and from 5 to 7 p.m. A notber part of Mohan's study that Will take plaee soon is the distribution of mail-in questionnaires to commuters. Pamphlets will be placed on parked cars' windshields asking each dnver a variety of questions about his or her parking habits on campus. Mohan said be plans to analyze all of his colleeted data over the semester break so he can give results to the University in January. • • After . I have studied the problem, then I will be able to suggest different directions tbe. University can tate to deal with it," aaid Mohan. ~ Some 'possible' ·opiioru· Mobu clb' see resulting from the study are increased van serviees between lots, more parking meters, more parking lots, and possibly smaller parking spa· ees for small veh1cles. Regardl~f the study's results, Bartscheek said he thinks the University will definitely ~expand paid par~· ing to other high use lots• and w1ll "restrict prime spaee use in the future" - something that will no doubt meet with widespread dissent. "We're trying to look at the problem in ati intelligent way; he added. ~we don' want to try 'to solve it in a buckshot way by trying lots of different options and then seeing which ones work. We want t o know what will work." "Bartscbeck doesn't foresee each meml!,er of tbC faculty, staff ~ ~~u· dent body having to pay a reptrat1on fee to part on campus - at least not ·for this coming semester. •Wbtthet to require ~tion or not ia still being debated, he said. :1 don' el<Ded. it will be required thiS Ji.iatwj. ir~ ! -J • ... , I • •' 0 �o-rtlber 10, 1987 Volume 19, No. 13 Cuban relations Inmate at Oakdale, La, federal detention center wraps himself in the American flag.

Gracia was referring to the agreemen'! by the two nations to have a swap of unwanted baggage. 'The U.S. will send back those Cubans who are now being held in detention centers across the country in exchange for the Cuban promise to allow 25,000 persons to emigrate to the U.S. yearly. Currently, about 9,500 Cubans who came tO'the U.S. during tbe Marie! boat lift of 1980 are being held in U.S. jails. These are the only Cubans who would go back to their homeland under the agreement. "The agreement will benefit both governments, ... said Gracia. .. It costs ~ U.S. a lot to keep the Cubans locked up." On the other hand, ~(Fidel) Castro wants to get rid of those who aren' racia added that of the 125,000 immigrants who came to America during tbe boat lift, only a "small number" (9,500) are now imprisoned in u.s. jails. " Most of those wbo came during the boat lift had friends or relatives here and have now settled in the country," he said. Unfortunately, it is that small number who have had problems with the law that are the most visible to Americans. Last week's hostage situation compoUDded the &enerally negative feeling many Americans hold toward the Cuban "boat people." The reason the whole hostage situation arose, said Gracia, was because some of those who were being held in the penitentiaries thought they were about to be released on parole or for relocation in the U.S. and then found out they were about to be sent back to Cuba. ~orne of tbc: inmates had never been ar=ted in tbe U.S.," said Gracia. "They were just kept in the holding centers because they either had no tries want to get rid of some irritation. .. A similar agreement had been worked out by the 1wo nations in 1984, but fell through when the U.S. began broadcasting ''inflammatoryu antiCastro messages to the Cuban people. Although many Americans feel such an exchange could bring more "undesirable" Cubans into the U.S. - and eventually bring a repeat of tbe recent hostage ordeals that occurred in Oakdale, La. and Atlanta - Gracia argued that will not be the case. "Each of the immigrants will be taken on a case-by-case: basis," be said. been criminals in Cuba, or had mental problems." Still others had at one time served time in the U.S. but were in the holding centers awaiting a move to another part of tbe U.S., be added . .. As I understand it now, each inmate's case will be reviewed by tbe government and then a decision will be made whether to let him stay here or go back to Cuba.- said Gracia.

Especially now, at exam time, cheating seems to be on a lot of people's minds. Apparently, no formal study has been done on just bow rare or widespread cbeati~g is at UB - at least ~ot recently. Still, there are those like Dori. a U8 sophomore, who believe that cheating is common enough that "'in a large class you can assume that people will cheat. and they11 usually &et away with it." ~oh sure," said another student, ~A lot of times a whole group will sit around one smart kid, and just copy answers." Often the techniques are more sophisticated. Barbara Sherman, a lecturer in Engineering and Applied Sciences, found out about cheating the hard way. She caught a "ringer" taking one of her exams. A ringer takes . an exam for someone else either as a favor or for cash.

Failure, said Foster, is usually the only punishment. ... There is effectively nothing you can ·do beyond faj ling the student," said Foster. Students undoubtedly cheat because they are already failing, he notes, so Umversity policy makes cheating worth a try.

Why do you not check - even onl y a lillie checking would do - to find out whether everything in yo ur recollection of a conversation with a supporter of the college is correct? Had you done so you would not need to be threatened by or fearful of those bogeymen. A committee of the Faculty of Natu ral Sciences and Mathematics not the college, as in your anicle - has worked on proposals for courses in the sciences and mathematics for students who would not necessarily be expected or req uired to take additional courses in the sciences and mathematics. The Curriculum Committee of the College has not yet received their report and recommendation ~ . but the preliminary indication that I had received (thus it is not so me tightly guarded secret that wou ld have been kept from you) is that there would be two math co urses. above and beyond competency ( requirements. designed by math emat icia ns to be max imall beneficial to students wh o e x-p~ct to take no more math th an that. Wh o kn ows, they might include a curriculum broad enough to go also int o mat hemat ics other th an calculus. I would ho pe so. Wh at review might such pro posal s be expected to ex perie nce? How can we kn ow'? We ca n. at least. educate a guess by ta king the exa mple of the proposed course called Wo rld Civilization. A committee of fac ulty who might be ex pected to teach the course prepared the concept of the course and explained its rational e a nd developed detailed versions of the course syllabus (a ll in a nice and widel y ci rculated lOb-page repon). This was discussed with and approved by the College Curriculum Co mmittee. It was brought before the College General Assembly. It is then to be brought to the Faculty Senate. In other word s, we all know that all road s lead to the Faculty Senate; there's no escape, nor even an y desire to avoid the Faculty Senate. So why should you dream that other curriculum pro posals that the College sees as a pan of its effons to establish improved undergraduate ed ucation on this campus would seek to avoid the Senate? Did you not ice th at word "establish" in the preceding se ntence?' So, don' rush to fright , Nic. Check to find out if your recollections of conversations accord with what is happening.

REITAN Department of Geology s_one who never formall y progressed beyond high school mathematics, I take issue with Dr. Goodman's assertion th at there is no need nor reason fo r an Undergraduate College course in mathematics for non-maj ors. Even if inability to learn mathematics is because one is unable to use formal rigor and Quantitative precision, I do not believe this deficiency is a bar to understanding the concepts in volved in applying formal rigor to analysis of a particular sit uation. As a dental clinician and scientist I have found t hat if one understand s how mat he matician s th ink one is able to consult with colleagues in that discipline. to see whether the ir ex pertise ca n help o ne solve clinical pro blems.

It is my understand ing. furth erm ore. that during 1986-87 ab out 2,1 00 students registered for the first semester of calc ulus and about 1,500 students registered fo r the seco nd semester of calculus. My point is that many stud ent s (th ough not enough ) take college math at th is Universit y. I applaud th at. ( Math is a sine qua non of an educated perso n.) The math the y take may not in all instances be calculu s but it is math . That is not to say that we sho uld not continue to improve the quaht y of the . discip line as it is taught. There are some mathematicians (far more co mpetent and better ve rsed th an I) who say that there should be a balance in college math betwee n the traditional calculus material and discrete math. They do not su bscribe (nor-do I) to wasting ..scarce resources on teaching pablum, .. but their view appears to be different from yours (and perhaps mine). They may be of the mind that not all math revolves around ca lculus. They deserve to be heard . I a m prepared to learn.

I find it sad that Professor Goodman espouses the opinion that some students, ot herwise wonhy of a colkgc educatio n, just can"t pass a cou r:sc m_ college mathematics. I don"t believe tt. What may be true is that, given the parlous state of high school mathematics education, some, eve n many students arrive here unable to pass a college mathematics course without prior remedial (and , I wo uld hope, non-<:redit) courses.

"Although that may not have been evident in the final product. that was a process I had to go through myself to find the inspiration or the look that interested me and that I could work into the already-<levelopcd idea of the director or playwright.- ben Donna Massimo needed inspiration a few weeks ago, she turned to the Chinese gods. But the real inspiration came when she fourid some Mongolian monks. As faculty costume designer at UB, Massimo can control the look of an entire stage production with a single color, a few extra horizontal lines, a certain piece of fabric. And no matter when or where or how the play takes place, there are always new and interesting ways to come up with ideas and to create. Iake , for example, tbe current : production at the PCeifer Theatre: "The Good Woman of Setzuan," by Be'rtolt BrecbL Massimo was faced with 20 white actors for a play set in prewar China. MJ!DY of the actors played characters ~out names and were also part of a gcaeral mass. Many bad to make quiclo-1:6stume changes. Some costumes w~ to be simple, others would oecd to staDd out in the crowd. And everything bad to be compatible with the gcocral look agreed upon by the director, the costume desi gner, and the lid~"The characlerS raar:e from prostitutes to the equivalent of middle class housewives," Massimo said. "I grouped people into different ueas and made some of their costumes alike - the prostitutes wan:filililarly-<:Ut dresses, for ·exarnple. We also Deeded a vehicle to separate the mass from the rest of ' \ the characters, so we used a basic uniform-lilce costume and a mask for each actor. They don' all have names; they have a look instead." True to the inttntioos of Brecht, Massimo added, that look is an abstraction (in this case derived from traditional and modem Oriental clothing) and presentational; it is not spectfic to any ethnic group. Creating an appropriate image for the play's three Chinese gods was another story. As with many other sbo..,., coming up with design ideas started with library research. "The lr.ind of rescan:b you do for a show varies each time; sometimes it's just loolr.ing throu&h periodicals and history books,• Maaimo explained. "This time I looked at a lot of statues. Anything from Cltinese art to travelogues was relevant. "It would have 'been easy to put the gods in traditional Cltinese robes, but tbar was so~ I knew I didn ~ want to do," sbe said. "Three white guys in Chinese robes would just look foolish. Then I fouod a simple line drawing of Mongolian monks. I absolutely loved it. The look was very simple and abstract. And it bad that edge of weirdness to it that the director (Kazimierz Braun) also liked very much. It added a dimension ,o f strangeness that I think rea!IY worlced." , In addition. tbe three gods wear masks painted with tbe same graphic. That design is repealed on tbe masks of three puppet gods, giant frames draped in black, who watdl over tbe play's proceedings from tbe bacqround. I / DONIA 1 She 'dresses up' UB productions By what pulled off the whole show was how the costumes and scenery wor-ked together," Massimo pointed out. To .. help the audience remember the many female characters, Massimo assigned to each a specific .. chroma."' ...There was the woman in yellow, the woman in magenta, the woman in kelly green," she said . "For the producer, this larger-than-life kind of character, I I a,e "The Good WOIIWl of SetJolm <>--'1 "Ridl and Famous," a 1986 UB prodadion, bad a huge cast of ~ smce most of the cbaracten elida\ 1-' loD& on stage, there was a riot di8l tbe audieDce would forge:! .....,.. ....... a wbile.

Wbea she stood in front of that, she just vibrated.~ Besides consulting with tbe director aod tbe sa:ne designer, Massimo con- ,/ ) \ nee the ideas have been shared and the overall loolr. has been agreed upo~ Massimo and a student assistant take off by car or plane for a couple of days. Wbat follow• is some hard-<:are shopping, often in New York City. when tbe show requires unusual or large quantities of fabric and accessories. '"This summer, I bad three and a half weeks to get 15 or 16 costumes togethtt for 'AU's Well That Ends Well' (a Shakespeare in Delaware Parlr. production)." Massimo said. "So a student and I got on a plane for New Yorlr. and shopped for two and a half days. We bought about 200 pounds of fabric - four buge duffel bags full of fabric, costume jewelry, stoclr.ings, tights, headpieces. beads, feathers, shoes, ready-to-wear stuff. A relative of mine had to help us get on the bus at Port Authority." AU that shopping requires a keen eye, botb on 'the bolts of fabric and on the budget. Last year's budgets. much of which are box office-generated. ranged from S200 to S2500, Massimo said. Altbougb the Theatre Department has a fairly large stock of clothing and Kx::c:ssories. it would be a rare case that the materials for a certain show would all be found in the basement of Harriman Hall. Nor can everything always be found secondhand . Shoes. for example:. are one of the most important pieces of costume but can also be budget-eaters. So , when Massimo stumbled upon 20 pairs of dirt-cheap generic boots which can he dyed or cut down, she didn' hesitate to buy '" bulk. Her shopping sense, and a great deal else, Masstmo credits to the late Esther Kling, costume designer at UB for 25 __. years. Kliitg hired Massimo as costume shop supervisor in 1983.

Porter: research professor of pharmacology at UB, bad a r=nt run-in with some space junk. It seems part of a "foreign spaa:craft" (N~A gaYe it that label) struck Porter's former home in the spring. Porter bas since moved foT unrelated reasons. One spring night. Porter reports, something struck the bouse, shaking the entire structure. The nex1 day, be found an 8N x 8N x IN plastic structure blue and charred, in his gutter. Ha.,: pily, the item struck the chimney. only dislodging brick and loosening .ome. mortar. Otherwise, i~ probably would baYe gonc through the roof. • Porter knew the object had come from the sky, so he called the Federal Aviation AdDiinistrllion. They dido\ a know what it was, but they c:aJJed NASA. which later called Porter. He scot them one pit:a: of the item for study, intending to keep the rest for a souvenir, but NASA later called him and requested the other part: In August NASA informed Porter 11 was part of a "foreign spacecraft." NASA was reluctant to elaborate, but Porter notes that the .incident OCCillTed about the same time a Russian satellite was destroyed in orbit. This is one of the few instance$ of space junk surviving rc<ntl'y and striking a house, according to NASA. but Porter thinks it point.s out a potential problem of the future. MTbey say it's unlikely that any will hit earth, • Porter said, Mbut this one hit earth. The more they put up there, the 1110re likely it is to occur.

In fact, he almost didn' stick with football. "After my first football game." recalls Wojo with a hint of melancholy, " I quit and left the field crying. My father said he'd never coach me again. So, the next year I went out alone, just to prove to him that I could play." Wojo was ten years old at the time and already had the defiant attitude which would become his trademark in later years. "Once I played awhile, my father got back into coaching," he chuckles. Call him · 'Wojo' Or call him All-American By FRANK BAKER P rior to the end of this year's record~breaJdng year - 61 unassisted tackles, 81 assisted tackles, and 142 total tackles - or not , Wojo has nonetheless rewritten much of UB's record book. The burly backer would like to think his attitude at least contributed to his outstanding year. 'Tm an individual, always have been, always will be," admits Wojo. "I wouldn't want anybody to be like me, and I don't want to be like anyone else." may be so, but when a football T hat player is 6' 1• and 235 lbs., has a slightly punk, blond haircut, wears number 44, as well as an earring, is outspoken, and plays linebacker, there's bound to be comparisons to rookie linebacker Brian Bosworth of the NFL Seattle Seahawks. Woio laughs at this. fter a standout career at Bishop Timon High School, Wojo declined what he called a few "big time" football offers and headed north. Not to Canada and !he CFL, but to little, Division Ill football powerhouse St. Lawrence. ... went to St. Lawrence for a year, but I didn \ like it," he says. "So I came back to Buffalo to be closer to home." Once he returned to the Queen City, Wojo decided he wanted to play foot· ball for the hom,town fans . But at Canisius, not UB. "I was going to play there because a good friend of mine played linebacker for them," be says now. But a UB coach convinced him to come here. Looking back on his decision, Wojo feels mixed emotions. "I'm glad I played here, but I wish I had gone to a Division I school out of high 5ehool," he says. Even so, "I don\ regret the decision .... Neither does Dando, who saw great improvement in Wojo this last year. "He was much quicker and stronger." says the Bulls' mentor. "He used to run like he was on skatesn - Wojo played hockey throughout high school - "but this year he found the ball carrier and ran through blockers instead of around them." Interestingly enough, in this age of autilus and high tech training, Wojo says he gained his speed and quickness from an unlikely source. "I refereed noor hockey in a city league," he says. "I guess all the run· ning around gave me some of my speed back." A grid campaign, UB linebacker Steve Wojciechowski (pronounced Wo-jo-kow-ski) set a goal for himself. He wanted to be an All-American. Last week he realized that dream and was selected to the 1987 Kodak All-America Football Team for College Division II by the American Football Coaches Association. The 24-man College Division II squad is comprised of players from NCAA Division Ill and NAJA DiviSion II colleges and universities. Wojciechowski, called Wojo by his teammates - for obvious reasons - was the senior co-<:aptain of this year's edition of the football Bulls and did his share of head-turning over the season. And not just because of his impressive numbers, although when a player aver· ages 14 tackles per game, people start to talk. Rather. the neck..craning was caused by Wojo's off-the-field cockiness and individuality. These, coupled with what his coach called a "tenacious"' auitude on the field, formed a personality that UB sports' fans hadn' seen in quite some time. Whether that personality led to his school, and I wanted to have it for my last year ... Even if it was an accident. Wojo doesn' mind being compared to the Boz. "He likes to stand out, and so do I," he says. According to Wojo's coach, Bill Dando, as long as he played well on Saturdays, Wojo could be whoever he wanted to be. "Yes, he does have the Boz image ," admits Dando. "But as long as he showed up and played hard, I didn't care what he did off the !ield." ..The Boz image is an accident, .. he insists . ... When I got my hair cut, it was nd show up he did. Despite the disappointing nature of th1s year's A campaign, Wojo stood out both on and supposed to be like (Chicago Bears' qu·arterback) Jim McMahon's. And the reason I wore number 44 this year is because I had always worn it in high off the field . "He assumed a leadership role," says Dando. "He was intense, into the game. a hard hitter, and averaged between 12 "The Boz image is an_accident; my haircut is supposed to be like Jim McMahon's . . .. " - STEVE WOJCIECHOWSKI and 14 tackles per game. I couldn't ask any more from a linebacker."' While the coach was happy with his star linebacker's play, Wojo wasn't pleased at all with the team's 3·7 performance. "I'm very disappointed ," says Wojo. " After we just missed making the playoffs last year, I thought this would be our year." ince he's already reached his first goal as an All-American, Wojo S now can set his sights on another rather important goal coming up in the not-too~1stant future; he's going to be married . His fiance's father, incidentally, just so happens to be none other than AI Bemiller, the Buffalo Bills' center from 1960-69. As he looks back on his storied past at UB, Wojo has definite ideas on how he would like to be remembered . "I want to be remembered as a good player and a hard hitter, n he says. "But I also want people to remember me as a player and as a friend . I don' want to be forgotten. n With a name like Wojciechowski; who could forget him? 0 Social Work School plans conference for April14-15 provided by a SUNY Research Founbe School of Social Work has dation ..

" I had a I. 7 grade point average and was on double probation. I wanted to major in occupational therapy, but they told me there was no way with my grades. I took this course as -a joke, but I'm proof positive that it works." Betensky now has a grade point average of 2.7 and plans to teach special education. His instructor in this pilot version of "Methods of Inquiry" was Roben G. Pope, a history profes· sor who had been trained in the "Learning to Learn" (LTL) program developed by Marcia Heiman of Boston College and Joshua Slomianko of Learning Associates. Inc. Since Betensky and his classmates finished the course last spring, UB has received a grant of nearly $250,000 from cthe u.s. Department of Education to test LTL ·on the general undergraduate population. Previously, LTL has been used only with small groups of students who were academically at risk. eginning this spring, the University B will offer six, three-<:redit classes of Learning to Learn, three of them large lecture classes funded by the grant. These will be aimed at students who simply want to do better and get more out of their studies. The other classes will be small group seminars for students who are havmg difficulty. These will be funded by the Uni versity through its Learning Center. Pope and two other seasoned professors. Jeannette M . Ludwig of Modern Languages and Literatures, and Richard T. Hull of Philosophy, have also received training in LTL. They will teach the lecture classes and will be assisted by a coterie of graduate assistants and aides, since LTL calls for 30 minutes -a week of one-to-one help for each enrolled student, in addition to the' lectures. Students in the small group sessions will also receive individualized help in addition to their class work. The LTL experiment fits nicely into recently announced UB plans to imp rove undergraduate education, said Peter S . Gold , assistant vice provost for undergraduate education. ..If we can build critical thinking, we can help students become academically successful." The program has received high marks from adminjstrators at other colleges and universities. who point to dramatic improvements in grade point averages and retention rates among students who've taken the cO\Irse. This claim, adds Project Director Susan R. Schapiro, is supponed by a 1983 investigation by the Joint Dissemination Review Panel of the U. S. Depanment of Education, which validated data on the program •s effectiveness. "This is the first time Learning to Learn will have been tested on a large undergraduate population," says Scha· piro. • About 1500 of our students will have gone through it by the end of the three-year study." She adds : " Through our threepronged approach of using small classes, large classes and faculty laboratories in Learning to Learn, we aim to improve the educational experience of all students. At the same time, we hope to influence the way the faculty introduce and reinfonoe critical inquiry in their classrooms." "It's ~ way of reversing the passivity students often show in large lectures," says Gold. "This is a way to get them engaged." • ow does the program work? H "There is definitely nothing magi- cal about it; there's no mystique," says Ludwig. Students will have to do the "It's definitely not a cure-all, but I'm convinced that for students who do the work, it can make all the difference in the world .. . " naturally, we teach the average student Richard Betensky to do." And unlike remedial programs, she says, "it builds on the strengths of students by teaching them how to use what they know. That's what gifted well, it's for two reasons. One is. they simply don\ put in the time. Or if they do spend the time they don\ spend slUdents do . They (the gifled s tudents ) have good associa tive powers.·· LTL also encourages students to forget about neatness in taking notes. and to instead concentrate on the content of those notes. In lectures, students are told to take as many notes as pos- sible on the right two-thirds of the page in a law school-style n o~ebook. This -ROBERT G.

More precisely, they are prodded into asking a cure-all , but I'm convinced that for students who do the work , it can the questions implicit in their readings and notes. When students put in the elTon, the "results can be startling.

Ludwig adds: " If students don' do enough time interacting with the material. This programs makes a~ student in teract with the subject matter. ... She adds: "It can help students create their own insights , and se ts up the pos- sibility of them becoming more intelligent consumers of their studies. It also helps them to th ink about the discipline in a way that's more congruent to the way the professor is thinking about the field ." In three years. Gold and Schapiro "hope to have hard data as well as some impressions that the progress of students through school has improved. The claim is that what happens in the classroom changes so dramatically that the teacher can't miss what's going on." For his part , Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education John A. Thorpe anticipates "that if the program is wonderfully successful, the faculty will want to include a comparable program in the curriculum . ., general duce questions from his lecture notes. At the beginning of the course, the questions were literal and definitionaJ: "What is a mid ocean ridge? What is a trench? What is the speed of continental drift?" Soon, however, the same student was asking more renective questions: .. Con- trast water hitting hard rock with waves rolling up on a beach of sand. Contrast the difference between waves which hit a beach straight on and those which hit at a particular angle." Slowly, students begin to probe, analyze and stretch their intellects. They also begin to anticipate the questions that the discipline is asking and will ask in the future, say LTL proponents. The program is not akin to tutoring, which does not have the long~term "regenerative" power LTL claims to have for motivated students. This is because it builds a self-<:onfidence tha:t lasts, say LTL officials.

When studied within the contexts in which they were written, these tales can reveal a great deal about the life and times of ordinary people. athleen C. Howell, assistant proK fessor of art, is spending a whole year looking at pictures in children's books and in magazines. It's part of the research she's doing for /mag~ and Text. an interdisciplinary course sbe11 be teaching next fall. The course will explore the meaning, impact, and interrelationship of image and text. Howell's project is one of eight made possible by the Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellows Program. The $8,000 fellowships are awarded to tenure-track faculty to develop new courses, modify existing ones, or develop new teaching skills and strategies. UB's Office of Teaching Effectiveness administers the program, now in its first year here. A project taking on the whole history of illustration would take a lot more than a single grant and a few months of extra time. That's why Howell decided to focus on children's books and magazines, both of which are mainstream vehicles of illustration that became popular in the late nineteenth century. "Children's books and magazines will be examined from various points of view, decade by decade, in tbe context of what was going on sociologically and historieally - it's like being a voyeur," Howell said. "I'm trying to make linkages beween illustration and the real world. What the roles of the illustrator, writer, and editor were. for example, what people were thinking wriuen for the education rather than entertainment of chiklren. Then came Walter Crane, a British illustrator of the late 1800s. He was really the founder of children's books, Howell said. "Crane was convinced that the eye was the chief organ for the reception of ideas." Crane thought the best way to design books for children was to allow "the imagination and fancy to be let loose to roam freely," Howell added. "blp until then, no one thought that the imagination was important. Everything was dictatorial. A full range of books for children wasn\ permissible. Now the importance of the imagination is an accepted fact." Even in the developing years of picture books and magazines, illustrations could have enormous impact on society, Howell pointed out. "Illustration could lead fashion or social reform,.. she said. "'"Pictures related to and sometimes changed people's livt:s." Take, for eumple, the illustrations of Kate Greenaway, a well-known Brit· ish ilustrator and contemporary of Crane's. Greenaway's illustrations were copied on plates, handkerchiefs, and vases. One shoe company even wanted to name a children's shoe after Greenaway, according to Illus trators of Childr~ns Books (17#-1945}, by Mahony, Latimer, aod Folmsbee. .. To her amazement," 11/uslralors continues, "the style of costume she bad adopted in her illustration, just because it appealed to her as quaint and charming, was beginning to be the rage, and more than a few small boys and girls suffered by being arrayed a Ia Greenaway wben it didn \ suit their style." "It's not just pretty pictures w( re t.a.lking about here; it's art as communication," Howell stressed. "Even in Victorian Englaod, the artist could get away with a satiric image in order to make a point." Howell's course will also explore psycbologieal aspects of image and text. "We,l be dealing with the role of symbolism, both in pictures and in language," Howell explained. "There's a whole study of how people understand images - how much visual information a person needs to complete a picture, bow much be bas to imply, how many pictures a person has in his vocabulary." Howell has been able I<> access the work of other popular illustrators of tbe period such as Britain's Randolph Caldecott and the American, Howard Pyle. Some books have been reprinted and are still read today; others are stored in special library collections. Magazines, however are another story. "Magazines are more difficult to get my bands on than children's books," Howell said. "The one I have a good visual reference to is Vogue, from the early 1900s on." Other early magazines she is examining are Coll~rs, Fortune, Saturday Evtning Post. Vanity Fair, and libuty, a magazine of the 1920s, 30s and early 40s with the slogan "a weekly for everybody." Besides looking at picture books and magazines and adding to the thousands of slides she has available to show in class, Howell has been digging through libraries and antiquarian and art bookstores here and in New York City. She's also paid visits to other universities with relevant programs, including the School of Visual Arts, which has a program in visual journalism, and Syracuse University, which has a program on the history of illustration. As head of the illustration program at UB, Howell plans to bring in speakers from a variety of disciplines; their lectures will he videotaped for use in next year's 1 class. In April, Steven Heller, N~w York Times art editor and author of the book Innovators of American lllwtration. will lecture here on the use of satire in illustration. Also tentatively scheduled for lectures next semester are Fred Woodward, art director of RoUing Stone, the illustrator, Sue Coe, and the former director of the New York Public Library's children's department. T here are currently about 30 illustration students at UB. "Image and Text," however, is not being designed j ust for them; it's intended to be of general interest. Howell hopes it will be designated an honors seminar. "It's something everyone can relate to," she said. "We were all brought up on children's books, for example, and all brought up in the context of one society, but we don\ know a lot about other societies. I think it will be very interesting. ... Students in the cours e will bi: assigned readings and research projects_ and will be involved in illustrating and/or writing a magazine piece or book with a partner. It was her own illustration work, not her research, that first brought Howell to children's books. Sbe quit her Job as an art director at Hoffman Printmg so she could illustrate children's books fuU time. In fact, she had her first contract for the illustration of a children's book in hand when she was appointed to ber current position at UB. But the opportunity to develop an illustration program from scratch was too good. Since then, she has found time to illustrate five children's books and is now writing and iUustrating her own 0 picture book. Image and Text Lilly grant helps Howell develop new course.

Sure, when we were children we were all taught that it's better to give than to receive, but let's face it - experience is the best teacher. It 's not surprising, then, that when a group of UB students was asked (in a most haphazard and unscientific survey) what they wanted for Christmas, most went for the big gifts - cars, cash, and jewelry. This presents a problem for those old-fashioned types who want some practical suggestions other than socks and underwear. So lend your ear this way - with your stingy budget in mind, we've compiled some suggestions. SOCKS?

Compact disc players would be welcome gifts this holiday season, says Frank Suglia who would also appreciate a Porsche 911 Turbo. Remember, too, compact discs make excellent stoclcibg stuffers, and at less than $20 apiece, they're a much better bargain than a Porsche. For a student who already has a car, Penelope Prozny suggests jumper cables and rubber floor mats. S orne students desire things & that mo ney can't buy. Right in the holiday spirit, Todd Saffron wo uld like to hit Lott o 48 and disown everyone. When one graduate student (who shall remain nameless) wished that money could buy her a completed dissertation for Christmas , Wend y Scott, also a grad student, quipped , " What makes you so sure it can't." Charles Thrailkill, an engineering major, would like to be able to make any surface truly frictionless and thus do away with physics lectures. Failing that , he would like to be able to divide by zero and actually get a result so that calculus would be easier. Other engineering students want similar occupational frustrations assuaged for the holidays. Citing the shortage of women in engineering, several guys requested girl friends as gifts. With that approach, we wish them luck. Eric Allen thinks optional final exams would be a nice holiday gesture. Grady Davis suggests that a week be adlled to winter brealc. Some have modest requests . Chuck Imm would like plants for his room that won't die. Todd Weiss would like a case of Budweiser and a Zeppelin album. Bernie Ryan would like Santa to pay his phone bill. If you're still stuck for ideas, a watch or a 35mm camera would be lovely. Then, of course, if you really want to be a Scrooge, everybody can use new socks and underwear. 0 ~ ~ ~ ~~----------------------------------------~~--~----------------~ �Allen Hall Srare Unive rsit y o f New York ar Buffalo Buffalo, N.

COL S �<.liDI • \1 -\ ll t '-1 \fU':!II\ .\1 Hl •ff ,\10 Sunday Weekend Edition has turned into a weekly ritual I S ince Nalional Public Radio's Weekend Edition on Sundays premiered one year ago , spending Sunday mornings with Susan Stamberg has become a wee kly ritual. Public radio listeners across the count ry now join Starn· berg in a weekly exploration of the arts, politics and news, sharing in her discoveries about all kinds of people, ideas and events. On January 18, NPR 's Weeke nd Edition on Sundays , hosted by Susan Stamberg, celebrates its first anni· versary. "I think we go1 more accomp· lished in a yea r than lots of people do in a lifelime," says Stamberg . " We wrote a novel , organized a major exhibilion of the work o f one of America's best-known artists, drove every paved highWay in the slatE- of Texas, composed a song and gave ira name, to boot" In the very first program, Weft:end Edition staned on a novel. Chapter: by chapter, a "chain novel" was created, with prominenl American authors such as George Plimplon, Gloria Naylor, Stanley Elkin , Max Apple and Scott Spe ncer contribut· ing each installme nt. Weekend Edi· lion listeners concluded the rela y srory in August, wirh a final chapter by Chris Sa ricks of Chicago selected from among 400 enlries. Month by mo nth, listeners followed the making of a major art exhibirion - the Georgia O 'Keeffe exhibition at the National Gallery of An in Washington, D.C. Weft:end Edition took listeners behind the scenes, find ing our step by step what • was involved how exhibition organizers selected paintings, kept track olthe whereabouts of each pic· ture, put the catalogue together, packed up the pa intings. set them up for display, and coordinated the opening . During the year, Weekend Edition listeners also roamed into the realms of imagination, listening pianist Stef Scaggiari aod at o ne point helping him name o ne of h iscompo· sitio ns. The song, which Scaggia ti composed in stages on the air, was finally named " Windswept High ." a variation on a title suggested by lis· tener Joh n Austin of San Carlos. Cali fornia. Suson 5ambetw listeners roamed all over the state of Texas with Dick Reavis, senior editor of Tens Monthly magazine, who set off on a one-year journey in January. Reavis talked every month to Starn· berg about his travels which covered as much distance as a journey twice around the world . wwo h a non<OmmerNl publjc mio sation, I~ to .enoe 8uffaio and W-J!Iew~·--&..,lhe~U-IYof .....

" /like to think of Weekend Edition on Sundays as the program that provides the advance word on major events in the world of the arts. " So, it was here that people learned that Arthur Miller was work· ing on an autobiography. In April , the noted playwright described for We-ekend Edition how he was organizing his manuscripl. and said he would deal for the first time in print with his marriage to the late Marilyn Monroe. " Miller'l book came out in late October. Similarly, in Much, playwright David Mamet let Weekend Edition into the studio where he was mixing sound for the first film he ever directed -from his o riginal screen· play, "House of Games." The film came ou t in early November, and was reviewed on Weekend Edition by film critic Jules Feiffer. Says Stamberg, " This is the pro· gram on which linda Ro'hstadt described the album she hoped to do with her father - a collection of Mexican cowboy songs. That album has yet to come out. This is the pro· gram on which writer Joan Didion read excerpts from her new book, Mi.a.mi, before it arrived in stores. And on Weekend Edition Richard Ford read a s1ory from his collection Rod; Sprinp- before that book was published. "The idea , from the beginning , was to make Weekend Edition o n Sundays the radio equivalent of the arts and leisu re iection of a Su nda y paper. I think we 've fulfilled that goal ... in spades ... in our first year on the air. And th e wonderful response from fistene rs shows they like whal they're hearing ."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Congress, on the other hand , with its constantly shifting coalitions, is unable to make non-partisan, long-term policies. Political expediency most often determines Congressional votes on foreign policy . ... You can't present a coherent policy unless you speak with one voice, .. he noted. " When the U.S. speaks externally, it must be through the president. "Congress is not a monolith, .. Tower observed. "It has no mandate from all of the people of the United States." The president, since he is elected by all the people, does have that mandate. That is how the will of the people assens itself. .. 1 am not arguing against Congressional checks on executive power. but against the illegitimate use of th ose checks .. to restrict presidential power. he explained. If Congress plans to dabble in foreign affairs. it had better institutionalize itself. so that it will make responsible decisions. he suggested. Congress has to distance itself from part y and local concerns when dealing with foreign affairs. ower questions Congress's ability to depoliticize its highly charged atmosphere. Additionally, he believes the press ought to take a more responsible stance in holding Congress accountable for its decisio ns. Tower quoted newsman Eric Sevareid on constraining presidential power: .. Goodness wlthout power is impotent, and power itself is impotent withou r the willingness 10 use it if necessary ... Congressional intervention and unwillingness to act makes the U.S. impotent in global affairs, Tower argued. True, without constraints there exists no way for the public to be shielded from presidential error, but the margin for error is much smaller within the T execUtive branch than it is within the who le of Co ngress, with its short-term perspective. and panisan views. Tower emphasized . Congress and the press ha ve to understand that, he stressed. In addition, problems with foreign policy are aggravated , he feels, by a press which seizes on sensationalism and distorts issues. ..1 don't think a ny of us wants to see the undermining of the institution of the presidency," Tower said . "If that happens. the U.S. will not be competent to fulfill our leadership responsibility and to continue initiating a strategic policy aimed at creating a climate in this world in which all peoples" can aSpire to self-determination. "If the president had followed the guidelines that he himself laid down for the national security process , he wouldn 't have gotten in trouble. " Tower noted . Congress should keop that in mind when deciding whether there are enough constraints on presidential power. . .. , 1hmk that presidents should and must be criticized ." he added . The institution of the presidency should remain unchanged . however.

"It's enabled us to have a consistency you can l get witb ofiicers because they're constantly being interrupted with calls," Griffm said. This is tbe fust time in the 17 years Grifiin bas been at UB tbat the Diefendorf lot bas been ticketed consistently, he pointed ouL Faculty and staff used to complain. tbat tbey couldn l park after lunch because students took the spaces. Officers would ticket in the morning, but were spread so thin tbat they couldnl get to it again in tbe afternoon. In addition, each shift of ofiiccrs bad its own quirks or style of patrolling, be noted. One shift might tag when E at nude models. Griffin said. Another problem in that building is that a lot of art students work by themselves in the evening, he noted . The building is also routinely patrolled by officers. Student aides also patrol the Health Sciences Library, which is huge and has a number of entrances, Griffin explained . The aides are paid by the library and trained by Public Safety. The Recreation and Athletics Complex is patrolled by students as well because local high school students and people from the city use the facilities, depriving students, Grifiin said . A number of locker break-ins have also occurred there. Grifiin plans to expand the student patrols to Cary-Farber-S)Ierman and to the rest of the Spine. _ Paid student aides also do work such as data entry for the parking program. There are 60 paid students, though the number of hours they work varies. Grifiin noted . Student volunteers also work in the dorms. he use of student aides by Public Safety has been the topic of much T discussion lately. Five or six years ago, students wrote parking tickets at UB. It's become an lSSUt now because the union that represents the officers bas taken a stand against it, Grifiin explained. The union fears tbat employing students for ticketing will mean job cuts, but just the opposite is true, Grifiin asserted. Officers bave been added since. a related grievance was fa.Jod more than another didn't. People would get spoiled and tbink tbey bad a right to park illegally. But tbe shifts changed every three months, and people were surprised when they got a llcket for something they bad been getting away with. . With students, illegaUy parked cars will now assuredly get tickets, so people should not take chances, Griffin explained. rifiin is looking to expand the services provided by students. 'These would include courtesies such. as helping someone who bas locked his k~ m his office, escorting people from buildings to the parking lots at night, and possibly even providing booster batterIes. There arc technical problems witb the tatter, though. The stu~ents would have to be trained, and dnvers would have to sign some kind of a waiver so tbe department wouldn l be sued if anything went wrong, be said. . Some of tbe revenue tbat the Umversity collects from parlcing tickets will go to buy uniform blazers for these student aides Griffm said. People feel more comfortable working with someone who I!>Oks professional, he noted. Paid student aides now patrol several buildings, and Griffm would lik~ to expand tbeir work to otber locabons. They're just "eyes and ears" for Public Safety, he said a~ut these patrols. They donl cbaUeoge, confront, or apprehend anyone; tbey simply report suspicious activity to Pubhc Safety. Students now patrol in Betbune HaU, the art bl!ilding, which ~ located about a mile soutb· of tbe Mam Street Campus. There's a high school next door, and teens sometimes eome over to peek G a year ago. It's a waste of highly trained people to have officers handmg out parkmg tickets, a job they don' rcaUy enjoy, he said . Students tag cars at other campuses in the country, he said, and do a good job. Students have been writing parking tickets at SUNY at Albany for seven or eight years. In the City of Buffalo, 90 per cent of parking tickets arc issued by the Parkmg Violations Bureau, not the pohce. The same thing is done in New York City, be said. Students handing out parking tickets have made some mistakes because they were given conflicting instructions , Grifiin said, but it seems to have worked out. There was one incident where a driver backed into a student who was giving him a ticket, but the student wasn l burt, Grifiin reported. Griffin had even planned to use students to watch parking lots through binoculars because there bad been a series of car break-ins. He had to back off from that idea, but insists that be still thinks it's an appropriate use of students. In his view, it's similar to neighborhood crime watches set up by municipal police in residential areas. 0 �December 3, 198.

The fact that cigarettes became known to be a health hazard presented a t~emendous problem to a societ y dedtcated to consumerism. explai ned Brandt. "Should tht government regulate the ciga relte industry? Should it tak e advertising off? How should it label cigarettes? Should it cont1nue to provide subsidies for the growing of tobacco when on the other hand it's spe nding mone y trying to encourage people to quit uisng it?"' asked Brandt. Anti-smoking crusade isn't new "I By ANTHONY CHASE 've never met criminal T he su rgeon general's repo n ra ised many questions about government's respo nsibilit y and what Brandt observed we ha ve come to define as a category vol untary health risks which he noted is problematic. "When so mebody is dying of lung cancer, everybody's first question is 'Did he smoke?' If the answer is 'Yes. he was a heavy smoke r: he tried to quit but he cou ldn 't." the respo nse you get is a shrug,·· observed Brandt. Brandt is particularly interested in thi s new self-<:onsciousness about individua l respo nsibility for health and disease that has led to a revolution in how we perceive the smoker - ... from being th e Marlboro cowboy to being a weak addicLed individ ual: from being a liberated woman like Bette Davis o r Lauren BacaJI, to being a woman who can't stop smoki ng, .. said Brandt. who doesn't smoke," said Henry Ford. the famed indus· trialist. Ford feared th at ciga rette smoking wo uld make his workers sicker, dirtier, and less disciplined. according to Allan M. Brandt of the departments of the H1story of Science and Social Medi ci ne at Harva rd . Brandt disc ussed the socio-medical hist ory of cigarette smoking in the United States with U B's Department of History on Nov. 20. Ford's view of the cigarette was not unique. Brandt pointed out. nor (as many mi ght th ink) is a nega tive attitude toward smoking a recent develo pment. In fact, the anti-<:igarene campaign of 80 years ago makes toda y's effons to ban smoking on planes and .in restaurants look prett y feeble. Before 1930, 13 states had laws for· bidding cigarette smoking in public places, and numerous medical tracts against cigarettes had been written. said Brandt. In an America where littlt distinction was made betwetn htahh and morali ty. many put cigarette smoking on a par with prostituti o n. dancing , and (heaven for bid ) jazz. he explained. " By the early 1950s. the dangers of cigarette smoking wtre known."' said Brandt. The su rgeon gcncraJ's annou ncement in 1964 that cigarelte smoking was dangerous co nta ined no new information. At that time. however. the complexity of this important social behavior was not realized. Brandt o bserved. The med ical community fully ex pected that just saying no would be enough to make Americans stop smokir.g. "A lot of people juS! Slopped, and six months later they started smoking again,·· re lated Brandt. "It's a beha vior driven by powerful social and cultural forces not always in the immediate control of the individual. .. T ht social significance of smoking continues to change. One participant in the discussion observed that just 10 years ago the seminar room in which Brandt spoke would have been filled with smoke, and ashtrays would · have been provided . Cigarette companies are also aware of changes in smoking behavior. Brandl n o ted . Before we can effectively eliminate ciga rette smoking. he satd. we real!~ need to understand its hi story.

The cigarette as we know it 1s less than 100 years old. he related. and "' rise in popularit) is co ncurrent with what he ca lled "one of the fundamental transformations in our culture and in ou1 economy." the rise of the consumer oriented culture . "In certain wav~ the rise of th e cigare tte IS the epitome of our consumer culture." satd Brandt "Here was a non-utilit\ nem, \'erv hard to dtsttnguish .ind yet we crCatcd a variety of brands. and a vanet~ of companies sold them to the American public.

Paul Getty Museum pa ssed an important test Thursday morning . As a 6.1 earthqua ke rumbled through Los Angeles throwing objects to the ground throughout the area . the museum ' s valuable artworks remained in place and were protected from damage." The practice of securing histone a rchi tecture and museum collections from natural hazard s such as canhquakes. Roberts said. is in itself an art one that is still in its infancy. Very few museums have taken preca utio ns to secu re their collecti ons from seismic damage. she noted. For that reason. her work and the efforts of those who assist her at the Getty Museum might be conside red pioneer. - Daryl H. Miller '·Earthquake Safety for Art ·s Sake·· Los Angeles Daily News Saturday. October 3. 1987 Many th ings ca n happen to an artwork during an earthquake. R oberts said. It can break as it falls from a wall o r a shelf, and it can fall onto other o bjects. breaking them and co mpounding the dama~e . Systems to protect these expensave articles must be designed and implemented in advance. just as buildings must be designed and co nstructed to withstand the severity of seis mic shaking. she noted. Photog raphic slides of the museum's work in this area showed various protective means employed to date. And based on damage report s from the Oct. I tremor that hit in nearb y Whittier and shook the Getty, Ms. Robert s' efforts have met with success. While other nearby muse ums suffered dam age. the Getty collection escaped unscathed . he protection of fine objects of art, you might think, would be among the last things that anyone is concerned with when an earthquake strikes. But for Barbara Roberts, the preservation of priceless treasures under such destructive circumstances is a consuming passion. Roberts is conservator of decorative arts and sc ulpture at the J . Paul Getty MuseurD in Santa Monica. California. On Monday, Nov. 16, she spoke here to both art lovers and members of the engi neering community as part of th_e National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research's monthly ~eminar series. Her topic: "Art Collections: A Discussion On Earthquake Mitigation ." T S everal of the protective systems employed at • the Getty Muse um "are quite si mple ." Robens said ... such as tightl y anchoring a vase or chalice to a shelf with fishing line. or suspending painring~ from cables hooked into grooved-tracks hidden m moldings at "Systems must be designed and implemented in advance if these treasures are to withstand severe seismic shaking. the tops of walls . .. Others are far more in trica tel y challenging, requiring the expe rtise of a ski lled tngineer. One such example involves a 6-foot-9-inch statue of a naked male that dat es back 10 530 B.C. Greee< . The statue sits on a platform that houses a detai led system of ball bearings and shock absorbing pads. As the museum 's noor shakes during an eart hquake, the platform isolates tht statue from most shock. stress, and mo ve ment. Additional slides of the museum·~ collection depicted other similarly "difficult" si tuation s that have yet to be resolved. These include several taJI. Free-Slanding clocks. Roberts ex plained that a staff of 28 people devotes days to fi nd ing better ways to anchor and protect the museum's sizable works of an: a very time-consuming process. And ahhou&h many of the protective measures taken to date are quite detailed. no one among the museum's staff claims to be an engineer. That's why the Getty Museum and the Getty Constrva tion Institute are working with tbe Civil Engineering Department at the University of Southern California to determine if the museum 's present eanhquake mt!lllSures are adequate and to make recommendation s on how to improve them . The o nl y ot her protective alternative to what is currtntly being done , Robert s suggested. is to keep the fragile treasures in storage. Perhaps the greatest need right now , she said. is the need to heighten awareness of this problem among museum boards ar1d administrators, not onJy in Southern California, but around the world. With limited museum funding available, she noted , it often comes down 10 "not buying that $15,000 painting, and using that money to finance preservation projects... 0 �December 3, 1987 Volume 19, No . 12 Anthropology receives $264,000 for grad program By SUE WUI:: TCHER T he Depanment of Anthropol ogy has received a $264,000 federa l gra nt to implement a unique ap proach in the teach ing of graduat e st ud en ts that stresses research t raining and field wo rk during the first two vear~ of studv .

Should we support "Star Wars?" In the event of nuclear war. how widespread will the rad iation be? The chances are we have all asked ourselves th ose questions at least o nce. The chances are also prett y good that we didn't know the answers. That's where Jonathan Reichert comes in. Reichert, an associate professor of physics, is head of UB's Graduate Group for the Study o! Prevention of Nuclear War - the Universit y's newest graduate group. The group has been in existence for just a year and is still "straighten ing out its administrat ion," said Retchen . However, despite its youth, it bas set, and attained, many goals. Reichert said the group was organiud for three reasons: "Most of the other major public universities in the country - like Berkeley and Wisconsin - offer a Ph.D. in the area. We felt that our students should at least be exposed to information about nuclear war and its consequences. After all, it is the number one social issue today. "We wan ted , too." Reichen continued ... to establish li nk s among the facu lt y th at will lead to resea rch and publication. T he problem ( nuclear war) is an in te rdisciplinary one. a nd o ur gro up clearl y recognizes that. .. F inall y, Rei c hert said . becau s e nuclear war affects everyo ne , the group is intended to serve as an education ce nter for Western New Yo rk . "The Universit y and Buffalo need a place to address this issue . .. Because of that need a nd the serio usness of its subject , Re ichert feels his group is unl ike any other graduate group at UB. "N<> other group has the threedimensional look that we do," he said . " We do n' fit any model." n addition to thi s unique look. Reichert said, the group has accompIlis hed something in its brief histo ry that, to his knowledge, has not been attained by an y other program on campus. "We wanted to establish a perman~nt endowment fund," he noted . "Since we weren' getting many funds from anywhere else, we decided to raise the money ourselves through donat1ons from facultv a nd staff. "So fa~ we have 140 pledges of SIOO or more . The gro up decided to ask fo r pledges of at least SIOO, he said, 10 make sure donors wer e serious a bo ut the ir com mitment. " Most people would give S20 just to get rid of somebody. When they give S I00, they generall y care about the issue ... Reichert also noted that all solicitation was done by word of mouth - not through mass mailings - which ma kes the results even more impressive. " O f the people I have talked to, onl y about I0 per cent have said they wouldn' donate. I think 200 pledges by the end of the year is a realistic goal ." Despite the group's rather small size - it has 15 faculty members and a ::;:t~lvi~?~~~~f:~c~i~~tudents - it is The group ·sponsors a seminar series on nuclear war prevention, will have a catalog out next semester listing all U B courses related to the nuclear issue, and has a conference scheduled for April 8 and 9. "We're especially looking forward to the confe rence ... said Reichen ... There will be major perso nalit ies there like Paul Warnke. the rhief SALT II (Strategic Arms Limita ion Talks) negoti ato r." among othe rs. n the futu re, Re ichert said , the group Iin would like first to establish a minor peace studies, then possibly a special maj o r, and then reach its ultimate goal of a graduate program. . ..Our mission is education," he said. "We're just a gro up now because we were told that was the place to· start in becoming a program . .. We want a program and we're going to get one ... While brimming wi th confidence, Reic hert acknowledges that his group still faces do ubters in the U nive~it y community. "Many people have the wrong idea" and don' th ink the group is worthy of permanent program status, stated Reichert. "We're not all the same type of people with the same ideas. We have great fights at our seminars. "But, what we do all agree on, is that there is an ignorance about the subject (nuclear war) in our society. We want to change that.· 0 �Here's an update on what's happened to the surviving living-learning units , here is confusion abroad ove r T what has happened t o the coUeges.

Still others have no idea of what th e colleges were or arc. The colleges were formed in 1966 as an opportunity to integrate lcarnmg into daily living.

To add to the confusion. in the fall of last year. then-Vice Provost James Bunn proposed that the programs all remove the word ... college" from their names in order to keep them distinct from the new Undergraduate College. Clifford Furnas College became the Clifford Furnas Center for Leadership (a title that still awaits approval): Black Mountain College II became the Black Mountain Program; the College of Mathematical Sciences became the Collegium of Mathematical Sciences.

As the college system has disbanded some have rhapsodized about neighborhood residents picketing College A when it opened in a store-front on Main Street. The '60s were a time of pickets, however, and, according to Sta'ey, the colleges were not really the looming threat to the community that many of us romantically imagine. "I believe that the community was apprehensive because at that time, the colJege student movement was just starting," says Staley. . "When you have college students out there informing high school kids about civ1! nghts. about th e war. about th e co unter-cul tur e. that concerned the comm unit y." It IS a mastake.

Noble Jr. . Ph .D .. who served as an expert in a recent federal court case challenging the quality of care for mentally retarded members of soc1ct y. believes that the da ys of mental institutions arc numbered . A professor of social work and reha- bilitation medicine at U B. Noble vie ws the traditional mental institution as a place where patients are ··given a bed" and are stripped of their right to function as members of society. "Mentally retarded children arc placed in such institution~.·· Noble observed in an interview. "and arc all but forgotten as the y reach adulthood. still without hope or help ." Noble went so fa r as to observe that every mental institution recl!iving federal financial supp ort is a ··sitting duck" for forced closure if "j udged by the letter of federaJ law and regulations . .. A former assistant commissio·ner of the Department of Mental Health a nd Mental Retardation in Virginia, in charge of policy and research. Noble joined the School of Social Work here as a faculty member in 1985. It was in this capacity th at he served recently in Tulsa. Oklahoma, as a court-appointed expert in a federal case known as Homewa rd Bound vs. the Hi ssom Memorial Ce nte r. In a ruling July 24. Judge James 0 . Ellison of the U.S. District Court fo r the Northern Dist rict of Oklahoma ruled that all 450 resident s of the Hissom Center. near Tulsa, must be removed from that mental institution over a four-year period and be relocated in the comm uni ty, with the state providing specific programs of support . T he sta te is appealing the decision . T he Ellison d ecision specifies that 75 of the residents be rele ased from Hissom the fi"t year and 125 in each of the s ucceeding three yea rs. The deci sion also calls upon the state to provid e needed services for an estimated 1,500 fo rmer Hi sso m resident s living in nursing homes , private ho mes, and elsewhere. Noble was o ne of four experts who provided co nsu ltati o n to the court over a two-week period.

" th e Hissom o pera ti on. and a group of paren ts opposed to the closing of Hissom. All three panies agreed with the se lection of Noble to serve as the financiaJ expert in the case. The Hissom verdict was announced by Judge Ellison following the twoweek period of consultation involving himself and the fo ur experts. The co nsultation period climaxed the trial itself. and, earlier, months of joust ing in the co urtroom. In announcing his verdict. Ellison said he was "very pleased" with the process o f consultation with the experts. .. The experts ... the judge commented. .. were non-partisan in the expression of their opinons and often spoke of issues in a manner that did not reflect their clients' views . They were totall y honest with me." The Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia (PILCOP}, which assisted the plaintiff in the case. noted that the judge's findings o n conditions at the Hissom Center ""recite a litany familiar to all of us." Cited were human regressio n and deterioration; denial of adequate food. clothing and medical care; lack of necessary habilitativc programs; dangerous feeding practices: lack of adeq uate sanita tion; injury and abuse. and what was termed the pervasive harm of segregation. T he remedial pl an, as developed by the court, calls upon the state to provide supportive programs in carrying out these goals: • H issom children will li ve with natural or adoptive families or. if necessary. with a foster family. • Adults who are incapable of Jiving by themselves will live in group homes con taining no more than six resident s with mental disabilities . • All child ren will be educated in public schoo ls and aU adults will be trained for employment. no matter how severe their handicaps. S tat e su pport mandated by the court includes payment for: • Aides who work in the home to help care for persons with mental retardati o n. • Training and cou nse lin g for parents. • Specialized baby-sitting services to allow parents or other caretakers time off. • Provision of wheelchai" and other adaptive equipment needed by persons with mental retardation who also have physical disabilities. • .. Reasonable" architectural re novation of family homes to accommodate wheel chairs and o t her s pecial equipment. • Physical therapy. speeial educatiOn. and ~ any other therapy or training for a person with mental retardatio n who needs such assistance to li ve as independent ly as possible. • Transportation to school. work. and recreational faCilities. • Assignment of case managers with no more than 10 assigned cases each. • A sys tem of checks to insure that there is nO abuse. s the designated financial expert in the Hissom case. Noble advised the court that the 'recommended state assistance program would cost less in the long run than the cost of ope rating the Hissom Center. More specifically. Noble presen ted figures showing that the cha ngeo ve r - closing H issom and esta blis hmg state assistance programs - would cost the state an additio nal $2 million in each of the first two years. but would save S2 millio n each yea r thereafter. As for any dangers to socie ty in a non·insti tmional setting. Noble pointed o ut in response to an inte r view question that person s classified as mentally retarded. or developmentall y di sabled. pose no more risk to society than persons who might be rated as "normal. .. Such individua ls. he added. "'sometimes just can't look after themsel ves socially unless they receive the proper assistance ... On the other hand, he further explained. persons with mental illness. as opposed to retardation, may develop "dist urbed thinking" which could put them .. o ut of touch with reality ." Schizophrenics and manic-depressives are in this category. Noble pointed o ut. and such individuals require somewhat different .kinds of treatment and care than persOns wi th mental retardation . Care for mentally ill persons. he explained, must be determined on an individual basis. with short -term hospitalization offering relief in times of acute crisis. The Hi ssom case . Noble emphasized. is geared solely to the plight of institutionalized persons with mental retardation . Judge Ellison's detailed coun order cal ls for all members of the .. Hisso m class .. to be cared for in the .. least restrictive enviro nm ent possible ." Even with an appeal having been filed, oble pointed o ut . the co urt's mandate must be carried out until such time as the State of Oklahoma and parents opposed to the closing of the H issom Center obtain a stay order to halt the procedure. 0 A Calendar From page l I U:n1er for Tomorrow Entnled ~what I Dad on My Summc• Vacahon.~ the exhih1t WT\1 run through Jan. 8.

Vergennes developed a notio n of Europe as a sys tem of governments , with France playing a \ pecial role in that system . Ve rgennes became an advocate fo r mutual understanding and respect for the interests of Eu ro pean power s amo ng the European co mmunit y. \1 urphy noted . Ve rgennes' policies were instrumental tn establishing some balance of power amo ng European nations during the 1770s and 1780s. Murphy explained . H IS policies were also responsi ble for the substantial aid which France gave the American colonies in their q ues t for mde pendence from Britain . I n 1778, the American colonies were in the midst of the Revolutionary War; they needed military assistance and engineers. The Continental Cong=s decided to as k France for aid because of her welld?Cumented, long-standing hostili ties wah the British nation. . The congress sent stateman and tnye ntor Benjamin Franklin to Ver· sa11les. where he met with Vergennes to strike an alliance and commercial treat y with France. In striking that alliance. Vergennes and the French government recognized the independence of the American colames. Alon~ with that was an tmphclt denial of Bntain 's relationship wit~ her COUNT of VERGENNES He helped Ben Franklin woo the French By JIM McMULLEN colo nies, Murph y noted . The British government could not tolerate such a slap in the face . Soon after the French / American alliance was formed. a British naval vessel attacked a French commercial ship. Vergennes knew that by forming the alliance he was orchestrating just such a connict with En$1and . " His aristocrattc and ~rofessional background provided the JUSlification for war: it was an honorable and a necessary mediator of human affairs, .. Murphy added. Although war was never officially decla red , the Briti s h action drew France into direct military conflict with the British in Europe and America, when: the French lent naval support and an expeditionary force to the cause of the colonists, Murphy explained. Later. Vergennes was instrumentaJ in se ttling a peace treat y between the warring nations. Historians agree that the colonies could not have defeated the British without the aid of the French, Murphy noted . Vergennes was well aware of that fact , and he expected certain paybacks as a result of his policies.

War brought higher taxes. inflation, and destruction: the victims of these plagues were never rewarded with estates, titles, prestige, and grandeur. "Vergennes had little understanding of the social co nsequences of his diplomatic decisions. His vision was limited by the blinders of class, rank, and professional traditions . Ordinary French men and women, by the millions, had crying needs that could not be satisfied by diplomatic victories and international p=tige.

France 's uncea si ng struggle for power. rank , and prestige, pushed to its final limits, led to a self-<lestroying mverston: a collapse of power. and then chaos.

While Halbreich has not found any convi ncing clinical differences between these two subgroups, they a re diffe rent in their treatment response. The choice of treatment for those with low MHPG le ve ls should be different from those with high levels. " Hi gh MHPG levels. however. might be more difficult to treat, .. the Israeliborn scientist remark s. "We are looking for an appropriate treatment." The third variab le is diurnal rhythm. Halbreich found that depressives often have M H PG peaks offset from normals. either coming on earlier or later. Normal peak s occur in the early afternoon. He suspects that abnormal diurnal rhythm of noradrenalin might be as important as abnormal quantities of that neurotransmitter. This is another factor that will be tested i11 The brain Test for depression 1s a 'window' into it "A By BRUCE S KERSHNER window into the brain ... is how a U B psychiatrist refen to the biochemical tests for depression that he is developing. Uriel Halbreich. M.D .. says the safe and reliable blood tes t represents significant progress toward diagnosing this widespread psychiatric ailment. Not only is the test r e lativel y accurate. but it promisrs to be one of the first tests that is essentially noninvasive. safe. and inexpensive for dlff=rcnt kinds of depressions. It is alS() convenient for the patient since blood drawings take place only during the afternoon, require no hospitalization . i and permit th e patient to move freely a1 during the procedure ... It is clearly an ~ u~~~~~th c~~me~~~~ant t echniq ue," The professor of psychiatry performs the test by measuring certain chemicals in blood sa mples of patients. One of th e primary chemicals he analyzes is M H PG, a metabolite of the brain neurotransmitter noradrenalin. MHPG levels renect c hange s in noradrenalin activity of the brain, which is closely associated with depression. If MHPG levels are abnormally high or low for the age of the patient, thi~ reflects various abnormalities of the brain . Levels of another hormone. cortisol (regulated by noradrenalin), have also been found to be elevated in some depressive patients. Along with clinical interviews. measurement of MHPG and cortisol in the blood are now valuable tools in diagnosing depression. Halbreich states. Halb rcich believes that the biological tests that are developed from his findings are likely to become an essential part of diagnostic procedures in psychiatry. His approach will lead to a psychiatric diagnosis t hat will be based on a comb1nation of clinical symptomology, pathophysiology, genetics. and treatment response . "This test is safe and reliable and represents major progress in diagnosing this widespread ailment." ~ z ~ Q i :;; ~ ---"-"=--Halbreich discovered that just a single plasma drawing from one to fo ur o'clock. in the afternoon could accurately represent levels of cortisol and M H PG over an entire 24-hour period. His research turns the afternoon con tin uous test for cortisol and M H PG from an experimental procedure to a clinically reliable and replicable one. .. This is now a blood teM that is simple. inexpensive . and practical . Previous methods. for example. requ ired 24-hour blood samplings. cumbersome sam plings. and less accurate urine or riskier spinal fluid taps ... Halbrcich began his work to devise tests fo r depression in 1982. In the late 1970s. the dexamethasone suppression test was claimed as the first specific test for depression. It became widely used until experience led to disillusionment. Physicians discovered that the test was not helpful and too general since it often showed positive not only for depression but also for weight loss. alcoholism, schizoeffective disorders or even unspecified stress. Use of the test is being disbanded with no substitute. H albreich "s test is part of a battery of relia ble and practical tests that are currently being developed. H albreich a nd others have identified three variab les that are manifested m the afternoon con tinu ous test and must be accounted for in any test for depression. First. M H PG levels inc rease with age. Halbreich adjusts plasma M H PG levels for this variable. Second. depressives don' just differ from normals by havi ng abnormal levels of M Hl'G : they have either abnormall y high (60 per cent) or abnormally low (25 per cent) levels for future research . Halbreich just comple ted testing of 340 patients to identify other correlations. He is seeking to find out if different depressive sta t es across diagnoses share similar physiological conditio ns that relate to cortisol and MHPG . He is also correlating abnonnal· ities of cortisol and M H PG with severi t y of cenain psychological symptoms. For example. does low guilt fee ling correlate with low levels ot cort isol and high guilt feeling with high leve ls of cortisol? Is the diurnal variation of mood associated witb elevated levels of cortisol? These and other psychological factors are being quantified from in-dep th structured clinical interviews. Before corning to UB in 1985 Halbreich was a faculty member at Albert Einstein College of Medicine for five years, a nd previo us to that , on faculty at the medical schools of Columbia University in New York City and Hebrew University in Israel.

Kreger added that Public Safety officers will be allowed to have moustaches as long as they go no farther than the corner of the mouth. Also, those officers who have beards for med· ical reasons will be allowed to keep them. Although Kreger said his union will co mpl y with the directive now, he ad ded that he could foresee the entire "hai ry" incident goi ng to arbitration eve ntuall y.

Regardless of which course of action the union takes, Kreger doesn' want to see a lot of hair-splitting over the policy. In fact, he has come up with his own solution to the problem.

Other so urces of lc:ad include industrial emissions and burning at city dumps. A couple of so urces are on the decrease. Leaded gasoline has l>een banned for newer cars. In the four years si nce the ban, blood lead levels ha ve decreased 30 per ce nt. Lin-Fu is co nvinced the ban should get t he credit.

In 1986, only 28 per cent did . Lead poisoning is still a problem, even though we've known since early in this ce ntury that it's preventable, LinFu pointed out. " He re we are 70 years later talking about it," she remarked . 0 Research Center plans lead study • . .. he Research Center for Children and Youth wants to find out how lead is affecting local children. It's impossible to extrapolate the extent of the local problem from national statistics, eAplained Anthony M. Graziano, co-director of the center. The numbers vary from city to city. The numbers also vary from year to year because researchers have changed their minds on how mueb lead in the blood is acceptable. Far less lead is considered aeceptable now than in 19JO. The first part of the Research Center for Children and Youth's project is already under way, Graziano said. The researchers are getting some measurements of blood lead levels. · The second part is to get a federal grant to take a long-term look at the relationshiP.• of lead levels to different characteristics of local children. such as cognitive development, socio-economic class and home environment, and physical characteristics. They plan to submit a proposal in tbe spring. Working on the project are Rol>ert Guthrie of Pediatrics and David Shucard of Neurology, botb in tbe School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. 0 T �December 3, 1987 Volume 19, No. 12 fac t when they tried to define .. normal" lead levels.

The elevated lead levels of most children aren' caused by eating paint chips, as was once thought.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The only concern of the University, Alden N. Haffner, vice chanccUor for ~arch , graduate studies and profes· sional programs, said, is to determine whether student victims are capable of learning and if faculty or staff victims can perform their work . Nor , he said, sho uld victims be arbitrarily barred from dormitories; "t here is no danger from casual contact," he noted. What the University should do, Haffner urged, is to "teach people to change their lifestyles ." Universities, he charged, "have fostered an environment in which this deadly virus nourish es and lti1ls our young, those in the flower of their lives." Haffner said the gravest question before our society is how we bala.oce the need for victim confidentiality against the responsibility of protcdiog the health of individuals who miAbt innocently become infected . !Jle luncheon speaker at a recent all- day symposium sponsored by the Continuing Nurse Education Program at UB, Haffner called the question "one of the great dilemmas facing us all.

Rather. it's in what Food Service Associate Director Donald Bozek calls "a holding pattern .· In other words. don't try to get a beer at the Rat on a Friday until after Thanksgiving break . That's because the Faculty Student Associa ti on, Food Service's parent organization. has run into problems involving the sale of alcohol. .. It's a technicality, .. noted Bozek . .. FSA was making money at an event where alcohol was being served - even though FSA wasn\ the one selling the beer." FSA thought they had legal problems far behind them when they started the Friday afternoon "happy hour" at the Rat Oct. 2. Earlier, they had created an entire co rporation in an attempt to get around the red tape associated with obtain ing an insurance policy to cover sale of alcohol. Instead of FSA selling alcohol. and not being able t o obtain enough insUTance to cover its assets, the association decided to form a separate non-profit organization, the Center for Tomorrow Corp. (CFT), with limited assets that could be covered. Unfortunately, that's where the technicality comes into play. It seems that although FSA in no way handled the sale of alcohol in the Rat , they did make money , albeit a small amount. off the happy hour. The law says that smce FSA was doing the advertising for and sellin,~: food at an event at which alcohol was being served. then they were indirectly making money off the sale of alcohol. said Bozek - a technical violation. However, there is good news for beer drinkers . Bozek said FSA has 'lound yet another way to get around the red ta~ involved in selling beer. .. lf we can get an organization to sponsor the happy hou r each week, then we can continue to serve alcohol,"' said Bozek . ..

But , what the hell ," remarked illustrator Alan E. Cober in a reunt public lecture in Baird Recital Hall. Cober. an internationally renowned illustrator, is currently visiting profes- sor of ilJustration ar UB. Cober cited Pablo Picasso. ToulouseLautrec, and George Grosz, among others, as influ ential in th e development of his style. " I was once described as 'a little sketch artist- joked Cober. whose illustrations have appeared in Life, Newsweek. Time. Sports Illustrated. and Rolling Stone magazines. His most recent assignment was covering the Pope's tour of America for Rolling Stone. Nearly 300 othe r traveling writers, photographers. and illustrators also followed the Pope. In Los Angeles there were over 2.000 members of the press. Cober didn\ do many sketches there. "I'm getting too old for that stuff," he quipped. His talk was illustrated with numerous slides of his work. The slides displayed an incredible diversity of styles in Caber's work. His trademark, however, is a unique style that sets him apan from other illustrators. "When I sketch a person. it's like I'm from Mars and have never seen a person before. I stan with the head. and then the head gets too big. so I stan pushing up from the feet in order to fit the whole body in." After one politician saw Cobe r's drawing of him, he said ''You can't use that. The public's going to think I'm a midget. Now. I know ir isn'r true, and y ou know it, but they don't know it. .. Asked whether he tries to present a panicular message with his illustrations, Cober replied, .. Not always ... "What is the message supposed to be. anyway? How is it defined?"' he asked . .. 1 consider myself a visual journalist. but , hey. I'm drawing. You do ideas very often. and, yes. at times you do have to convey a message. "I do art when I can do an . Tht rest of the time I make a living. Sometimes you have to do shit for the shitskies. Lots of times you have constraints placed on you by your clients, but it happens less and less to me nowadays . "A lot of illustration is done from the heart . That's how I approach it," he added. Asked what his future plans are, Cober replied, "I used to set goals for myself, but lately I've become complacent. I guess 111 have to set myself a project and work o n it one of these days." 0 2222 Public Safety5 Weekly Report The following Incidents..,. reported to the o.p.rtment of Public Safety botwHn Ocl 30 end Hoot. 6: • A woman reponed that while stK was on the third floor of Lockwood Library Oct. 3 I. a man exposed himself. • Two bap, containing clolhing, cash. credit cards, and personaJ papers, wt=re reponed mW:ing Oct. 30 from AJumni Arena.

" Bozek said that in order for a group to sponsor an event, they must pay fo r a S35 alcohol catering permit and do all the advertising. .. Any time we have a sponsor. well hold the event," Bozek said. ... We've basically been covering costs so far," he said ... We never intended it lO be a big money-maker ... just a break..:ven type of thing. Despite that rather bleak history. beer at the Rat did show some signs of life on the one recent Friday when a group did sponsor the event. In the future , Bozek said that Friday beer sales at the Rat will depan a bit from its previous form . For instance . instead of selling beer only from 4-{, p.m,, CFT will leave it up to \he organJz.atton sponson ng the eve nt to set the timetable. .. We don't want to have anything that will get o ut of hand ," noted Bozek . "Beer may be back after Thanksgiving, if sponsors for happy hour can be found. .. But we're perfectly willing to provide the service anytime after 3 o'clock. and go unt il whenever the organization wants us to ... Bozek added that FSA 's policy of providing groups with alcohol and food at other sponsored events. such as Talbert bullpen concerts and wine and cheese parties, will continue to exist in its same form . Any groups interested in hiring either FSA or CFf to cater their next event should co ntact Bill Regan at CFT, Dawn Brannan at the Rath skeller, or Bozek . 0 AIDS from page I termed , .. The most serious questions any university - SUNY and its sister campuses across the nation - must address" and offered his answers. Haffner said the Universit y's role in dealing with the AIDS epidemic should not be limited to interaction with students. .. We are dealing with a world-wide crisis of unparalleled proportions that defies even the best of eptdemiologicaJ projections, .. he warned . . ...Therefore, ~n addition to emphasizmg the necesstty for chan~ed lifestyles among its st udents, the Umversity must reach out to all and underscore tho need for compassion and tolerance to ~hose who have been stricken, because. m the final analysis, a lack of compasston and lack of tolerance may be as dangerous to society as the AIDS virus itself." Other points raised by Haffner: • On the metter or students and faculty who teat "aero-positive," or who actually have AIDS: "If students are capable of being educated, o ur obligation is to teach. If a faculty or staff member can perform his or her work, that should be our only concern. This is not a disease that is transmitted by casual contact. Nor is it airborne. As a matter .of practicality, a .person who is seriously ill is not ~otng to be at college. Therefore, there as no need to bar persons who are seropositive or who have AIDS." • On dormitory accommodations: .. The student may elect to have a separate room or live: off campus as an individual decision , but the Universit y shou ld not attempt to separate him or her arbitrarily because there is no danger from casual contact." • On the University's being proactively Involved In testing lor AIDS: "'"Except at University hospitals, the University should not be involved in pro-active testing for AIDS. The reason is that existing testing stations are quite competent and are sensitive to the need for counseling before testing and after the tests are received and communicated to the individual." • On the reason AIDS II so lundamentally different from other aerlousd~Man: "Because it attacks young adults, beeause it kills everyone it attacks, and because we know bow to prevent it but we don't k.now how to cure it ... Haffner concluded, ... there is a need for university leadership across the country to speak. out on this great isiue. Universities always have had a role in helping to define what great societies should do and how they should behave. "When this period of history is written, wben this crisis has ended, this society will be jud$ed in pan by what tlS leadership and tts intelligentsia had advised it to do." 0 �November 19, 1987 Volume 19, No. 11 Senate asked to tackle phys ed issue again Edward Fine of Neurology suggested that C PR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) be a required part of physical education. Michael noted that 20 years ago. first aid was part of a health requirement that has si nce been abolished. He said he su pports the idea of req uiring first aid instruction. By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he Facully Senate should tackle the issue of the physical education requirement one more time, said John Boot. chairman of the senate. At Tuesday's meeting. Boot called on the senate to pass some sort of a resolution next semeste r on whether the physical education requirement should be abolished. He leans toward doing away with the requirement, he said. which is what sister instit utions are doing. He will invite Nelson Townsend. the new athletic director. to discuss the issue with the Faculty Senate. Boot said. Last year, the provost suggested that the requirement be dropped since UB no longer has an undergraduate physical education degree program. There is a high demand for courses and l n inadequate number of staff. If the req uirement were dropped, the teachin g staff could be reallocated to coaching. intramural, and recreation supervision. Instead , two Faculty Senate committees recommended that the University keep the requirement and add extra resources, specifically four more job "lines," Boot said. However, th e Faculty Senate as a who le was unwilling to support either adding more resources or abolishing th e requirement, and left the situation as it was. Boot explained . T listed _many problems with the H• ecurrent sttuauon: Students often get into phys· can~ ical ed ucation co urses until they're seniors, which defeats the purpose of the requirement. PhysicaJ educa tion is supposed to whet st udents' ap~tites for recreational skills th at they can carry through life. so mething that is better done in the earlier years of college. Boot noted . • When students can get into classes. they take whatever is open, which may not be the course they want. • If students know the ropes and get hold of a good advisor, the requirement is waived . .. Since available places in ph ysical education classes are at a premium, such waivers are often in the interest of the ins titution as well." Boot said ... T o be sure. waivers are not automatic. but the y can be obtained rat her more easily than annulments from the Catholic I Senate Chair John Boot (left) and Ed Michael (above) of Athletics at Tu esday's Senate meetin g .

In one case, a car parked legally was given a ticket. It 's costly to fig ht a ticket, he noted .

Boot argues that there was no real harm to t raffic mobilit y. and the visitor s h o uldn~ ha ve been ticketed . It's hard to get visitors to th is forbidding campus in the first place. he said . .. The ultimate aim of ti cketing is not that no one ever parks in violation. but tha t socie ty moves smoothl y:· he said .

Undergrad college headed for failure, Goodman feels he Undergraduate College is viewed as si mply a reincarn ation of the old general education commi ttee and it will fail for the same reaso ns general education failed. Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics feels . His statements were prompted by a discussion of the proposed bylaws of the Unde rgraduate College at last week's Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. The Undergraduate College has very little support in Natural Sciences, he said. The college creates an .. in-group" or clique of people who feel that they're more co ncerned about undergraduate education than the rest of the University is, Goodman said. The senior members of the college choose their own successors. There's nothing in the bylaws that says the senior members must consult with the rest of the University, he said. Whatever programs th e senior members attempt will be seen as an imposition, Goodman predicted . People will feel as if they have no sa y, even thqugh the y c.ould become senio r members if they chose to. "The departments are really funda· mental to the Unive rsity," Goodman said. "Something that goes around the departmen tal st ructure won't succeed ... T He gave th e example of the freshm an seminars. It 's an excellent idea. but need s the cooperat io n of the chairmen . Since they c,w eren't directl y involved in the plan. they had to be "bought , .. he said . If a depanment offers one of these small-group classes , it gets OTPS (othe r than personal services) money. Departments that alrea dy de vo te their resources to teaching freshmen in reasonable size classes don't have the resources to free up to get the payment. he argues. "There is, by golly, a perceived ineq· uity .... Goodman said ... Those who are devoting less to fres hmen education are getti ng the goods. It promotes resentment." This happens because the plan didn' come o ut of the depanmental st ructure. Goodman insisted. " You11 get participation if it comes orga nically out of the grass roots, and that means tbe departments." he said . The flaw in Goodman's argume nt is that departments are not the grass roots, said George Hochfield of Eng· lish, though he isn't sure what is. The structure of the Undergrad uate College may produce friction, but that's not necessarily bad. he added . . " I'm dismayed th at you speak for the Facult y of Natural Sciences," Edmond Strainchamps of Music told Goodman. St ra inc hamps. who is a se ni o r member of the college. noted that they need people from Natural Sciences and suggested that Goodman join . Dennis Malone of Engineering noted that Goodman's points are operational. not philosophical.

Retention of these students is a conce rn voiced at both the Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting last week and Tuesday's Faculty Senate meeting. Edward H ovorka of Psychology noted that when the Special Talents Admission Committee was started in 1973, the faculty asked for studies of how the.se students fared. No studies were ever done, he said. The evidence is somewhat anecdotal, and if it slants either way, it slants to the poor side, said John Boot. chairman of the Faculty Senate.

I guess that 8 per oent made all the difference in the world . You've got to admit it was a brilliant idea.

Forget the population that moved out into the suburbs. They are gone, and it's pretty tough to depopulate a subu rb in favor of a city. Constd er the following instead. A college town in downtown Buffalo - an area to rival AUentown and the Elmwood Strip in its ebaracter and popularity, and surpass them in population. This city bas at least eight colleges in the vicinity. Take a section of Buffalo, say tbe Chippewa St. area, the old "red light" district that has fallen somewhat to the wayside in the name of progress. With an open mind and a walk through that neighborhood, you will observe the truly unique architecture tbat is waiting to be polished, lit, and inhabited once again as it was in iu heyday. What better population to breathe life into the utterly lifeless than the collelle student at the prime of his / her life when all things are possible . At a price comparable to what a stu· dent would pay to share a house or apartment or even a dorm room, he or 1be could rent an efficiency in a newl y renovated classic structure - the next logieal and much needed step between collegiate life and post-<:allegiate life. A graduate presently has no incentive to stay in Buffalo. The college experience in Buffalo promotes no sense of interaction between student and community. Now imagine for the mo ment the following scenario: generated by the college town was worth running the subway and buses well after mjdnight. Hey. it really d idn ' cost them that much extra. As the d owntown workers were filling the subw ay a nd buses int o town i ~ th e mornin g. college town was filling what used to be empt y subways and buses on thei r way out, and vice versa in the evening.

Juvenile Offender Law ineffective in curbing crime By MILT CARLIN ew York State's Ju ve nile Offender Law has been less successful in curbing crime by yo uth s th an its creators envisioned. That assess ment comes from Simo n I. Singer, Ph .D .. a UB sociologist, who took a long, ha rd look at the law with a fellow resea rcher and found th at it has fa iled to do what it was supp osed to do - serve as a deterrent to juveni le cri me. Besides. Singer observed in an intervi ew. the law, under any ci rcumstances, is fa r too harsh. Assessment of the law as a crime deterrent is based on an 18-month study conducted by Singer a nd David McDowall, Ph.D., a faculty member tn the School of Criminal Just ice at SUNY -Alban y. A grant for the st ud y was provided by the Natio nal Inst itute of Justice, an extension of th e U.S. Justice Depanment. N r ior t o imp lementation of t~e State 's Juvenile Offender Law tn 1978, all accused juvenUe offenders under the age of 'i 6 were sent to Famtly Coun. . .. Singer related that pubhc optn1on at that time questioned the effecttveness of the Family Coun system's dependence on "treatment• rather than .. punishment." The JO Law, it was believed at the time, would effectively put the P brakes on j uve nile crime by ex posing accused offenders to adult-type pun ishment. Noting that 45 other states and the District of Columbia also allow some juveniles to be t ried as adu lts. the researc h repon o bserved : .. New York's law is th e first n o1 to reqoire an ini tial hearing in juvenile co urt." Singer and McD owall al so observed in their repon that New York's JO Law provides "among the most severe penalties for juveniles in the Uni ted States. a nd specifies that all se ntences be served in secure facilities ." The law lowers the age of criminal responsibility to 13 for murder and 14 fo r such cri mes as assault . arson. burglary, kidnapping , and rape. Before the law was enacted. crimi nal res ponsibil ity began at age 16. If co nvicted under the JO Law, the research repon points out, a juVenile offend er is subject to penalties si milar to those for adults . For example. a juvenile convicted of murder faces a minimum sentence of nine years and a maximum of life impriso nment. Under Family Court j urisdiction, the same juvenile could be committed to State eustody for up to only five years maximum. The repon also assesses the .. waiver process" under the Juvenile Offender Law. Although the law provides that accused juvenile offenders can be waived to Family Cou~ Singer and McDowall o bserved. "the ci rcumstan ces in which th is is permitted are very narrow. "The waiver process invo lves a complicated set of cri teria which emphasize public protection. and it leaves the waiver dec is ion with the c rimin al coun judge. "Oth er states a llow serio us juve nile offenders to be 'waived ' upward from the juvenile to the criminal court. In co ntr ast, th e JO Law require s a 'do wnwa rd' waiver, creati ng a heavy p re sumptio n that accused juvenile offenders sho uld be tried as ad ult s ... o assess the effectiveness of th e JO Law in dete rrin g crime, Singer and McDowall analyzed juvenile arrests on a monthl y basis for the 12-year period from January, 1974 , to Decem be r, 1985. Because they fou nd that the law was invo ked to a much greater extent in New York City than in the rest of the State, the researchers pointed out that thei r evaluation of the law stresses its impact on New York City crime. While the study analyzed crime patterns in the entire State, the researchers made clear that less weight was placed upon the upstate data tban on tbe New York City material. · To keep the study from falling victim to any undue surges in crime patterns, arrest records of two control groups T were wove n ant o the final New York Ci ty analysis. The contro l informat ion co nsi sted of arrest records of juveniles 10 Philadelphia and the arrest reco rd s of youths 16 to 19 years of age in ew York City. S 1nger was asked whether New York State shou ld retu rn to a fullfledged Family Court sys tem, with em phasis on '"t reatment" rat her than .. punishment " for juvenile crime. Not necessaril y. h'f said. But he stro n~l y believes that the State's Ju venile Offender Law needs changi ng. For one thing. Singer would reverse th e waive r system. He favors a system, practiced in ot her states. whereby aU JUvenile offender cases begin in Family Co un. Singer conceded t hat j uve nile coun "may be inappro pria te for some teens, .. pan_icularly in cases involving homicide a nd other serio us crimes, but even in such cases he rules o ut any need for maximum securi ty. Terming the JO Law "too harsh" and .. too bureaucratic... he favors revision _ of the stat~.te to allow " discretionary pl a cement of young offe nders in prison. He funher l!elieves that a young offender sho uld have the benefit of "'constant evaluation" while receiving assistance through vocational trainin&. recreatiOnal programs, and other rehabilitation programs. 0 �November 19, 198 Volume 19, No. 11 Who:S on first?

He 's also dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. When he's wearing his vice presidential hat, he reports to President Steven Sample. In his role of dean , he reports to Provost William Greiner. "Often I report to both together because you can 't separate the roles out," Naughton noted . As dean of the medical school, he takes care of the school's academic needs. As vice president, his job is to work with the loca l hospital system. tinical education is different in Buffalo than it is in other places because UB uses a syste m of affiliated hos pitals ins tead of a single teaching hospital . .. To make the sys tem work in Buffalo. we need the cooperation of the hospitals and the school," Naughton said. "To develop the system was the job of the vice president for clinical affairs. To keep it going is the dean's job." Since about 1983. his duties as vice president have remained stable, he indicated. " M y job is to be the University's representative and officer to the teachine hospital s in Buffalo," Naughton sa1d. ll's his job 10 represe nl nol only the medical school, but the other schools and departments thai have programs in the local hospitals.

Naughton also A sovevice rsees lease agreements with the By FRANK BAKER e may not be superstit io us, but Edward Koenig, director of UB's Inte rd isci plinar y Graduate Group in Ne uroscience, su re hopes 13 is his luck y number. That's because this is the 13th year of the group's existence and may just be: the year that a plan is formalized tL have the University offer a Ph.D . in neuroscience. Neuroscience is defined as any of the branches of science dealing with the embryology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, etc., of the nervous system. H "I'm hopeful that this year will be the one that a framework is formulated for a Ph.D . program that is acceptable both locally and to the State," srud Koenig. "The graduate group adds ao enrichment to each studeoCs program, but there is still the need for a formaliud program." Since its inception, tbe group has afforded a number of graduate students, who have an interest in neuroscience, the opportunity to work in the field with professional neuroscience fa jiulty while still pursuing their intended departmental majors. The group's professors are drawn from the faculties of health, natural, aod social sciences. Members serve as faculty-at - large, representing diverse Edward Koenig interests and expertise in many areas of neuroscience research.

For instance. he has been wo rking on the attempt to get a he an f lung transplant center in Buffalo. That is. in large pan . a patient care lated the graduate group concept. The following year. the Interdisciplinary Graduate Group in Neuroscience received group status. " We were o ne of the original groups." said Koenig. "The idea was to make it easier for students to cross departmental boundaries so they could do thesis work in neuroscience . •• Presently thc_re are three principal ~ethods by whach stude nt s participate tn the group. They take formal courses in !leurobi!llogy, participate in a semmar senes entitled "Horizons in Ne~robiol.ogy ," and partici pate in proJec t -onen ted labora tor y tutorials and / or thesis guidance arranged on the basis of individual neeQ. The se minar series affords the students a special option, noted Koenig. :'Th rough the se minars, which meet twtce a month, students are introduced to le~ders in the field of neuroscience, .. he srud. A uniqu e aspect of the series is that the st udents, as a group, are able to take each speaker out to lunch. No fac~lty accompanies the group, so it is a ttme when students, in a relaxed at~os phere, can be with a leader in thetr field and ask pertinent · questions ab?ut relevant problems they are facmg.

"My feeling is that we are now in the midst of a fast-running melodrama," S81d Blum, who declared that the story has two possible endings. The first outcome would be a world government that could check global militarY power. The second end to the story would be a catastrophic nudear war. B lum made his remarks at a seminar entitled "Public Delusion and Nuclear Risk , " sponsored by the Nuclear War Prevention Graduate · Group on Nov. 10. There are many indicators that the danger of nuclear disaster is real, said Blum. Among these he included the destruct ive potential of existing nuclear weapons, the development of mini- nukes, and the increasing number of countries with nuclear capability. "The risk is higher than we like to believe," said Blum, "and the United States of America is the leading country taking us into iL "Yes, we're in tbe process of being destroyed , but things are normal at the same time... People therefore assume that the risk is not really so great. "The deep inner sense that everything is normal should not be relied on at all, • said Blum. Blum contended that in the United States we tend to look at ourselves as good, and at the Soviet Union as bad . We are therefore inclined to believe, Blum reasoned, that increased American strength is always a good thing even when it means a nuclear build-up that could eliminate all human life. ur government is inclined to play a game of escalation dominance, said Blum. If the Soviet Union builds a weapon, the United States says, "We11 do that and raise you two." We believe, maintained Blum, that by having nuclear superiority we can force the Soviet Union to back down whenever we want them to. Blum argued that the uncrit ical American acceptance of the philosophy 0 that right justifies might is dangerous . He told a story to dramatize his point . pu~e~&!~~e ~Pa,:t~ t!c~ ~:r:t:r <!!~; "War by accident know all this and still .do nothing?" Blum asked . This, he feels, is the is increasingly ··we (bin.lc we arc more god-like than we are, ... said Blum. .. We see ourselves as rati onal utility maximizers ...

" ..Oh, honey , .. she says, .. you showed hours fo r missiles to reach their targets. strength. You showed resolve. At last the honor of our family is secuR."

The time has been reduced to minutes, stand the arms race. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Blum claimed , "for a fairly symbo lic point, Kennedy pushed right to the edge of at least the east coast cities being destroyed." Kennedy's popularity soared . The problem with th is sort of reasoning, said Blum. is that technology has advanced to the point where the weapons are more and more on a hair- trigger. Originall y it would have taken and in some cases to second s. paradox of "H co nt~mporary Jife. uman beings are a certain kind of ape with a larger data chip in the brain," offered Blum. Just like animals in the laboratory. Blum argued , human beings aR subject to operant conditioning - to rewards and pun ishments. Our society is set up to deter anti-m ilitari stic individuals and to sti mul ate military beha vior , he asserted. Blum stressed that to change the high The possi bility of war by accident or premium Americans place on values by miscalculation is therefore inqeas ing, reasoned Blum. Only Ronald Reagan still believes yo u can call the weapo ns back, he joked. Blum referred to presen t nuclear risk as the "alarming reality," as opposed to the "paradoxical reality. " "What is it that ena bles people to like power and military strength would requtre radical societal change. As apes res ponsive to rewards and punishments, we must learn to view the fight against the nuclear risk as pleas urable, Blum reasoned, adding that such a development is a difficult but possible goal. 0 FSEC approves procedure for deactivating programs T gro up s, incl udin g facult y, stud e nt s, commi ttees in the facult y or school, resume? Can a person send your res ume or curriculum vita to a third officials are Carole Smith Petro, executive assistant to the president; Charlie imprimatur to proposed proce- and other de ans. He must seek to build dures on the deactivation o r a consensus for his actions in party without yo ur knowledge?"There are deans who do it, Malone said . Judith Hop kins of the Uni versi ty Kaars, assistant vice president for sponsored programs, and Cliff Wilson, be Faculty Senate Execut ive Committee last week gave its discontinuance of academic programs. The procedures ace contained in a report from the Faculty Senate's Academic Planning Committee. The report will be a starting point from which representatives of the Faculty Senate and representatives of the provost's office can form a set of official procedures, said John Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate. The report comes in the wake of the controversy centering around whether programs in tbe Statistics Department should be discontinued and who has the authority to make such decisions. Under the Faculty Senate's proposed procedures: • The dean startS the deactivation or discontinuance process, but must get the advice or approval of a myriad of the affected department. • The recommendation to end a program then goes to the vice provost and provost, who also must consult with various groups. • It finally goes to the president who would .send the recommendation to Albany. • The Faculty Senate would verify that the proper procedures have been followed. Also, the president should get an advisory vote from tbe Faculty Senate Executive Com.mittee and the Faculty Senate that should form part of the documentation the president conveys to Albany. nother topic was brought up by Dennis Malone of Electrical and Computer Engineering: who owns a A Lib1=aries said her resume was included with a grant proposal without her knowledge, and she didn' like it. It implied that she would participate in t~ e grant, but she knew nothing about it. Joan Sulewski of the Sehool of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences said that when she was testifying in a case for another physician, her curriculum vita was sent to the lawyers involved. She believes it bad to have come from the University. The inCident was brought up to the president and tbe only result was a memo to chairs to keep personnel ftles private, Sulewski said. • Three UB offtcials said tbey don' know of any policy on tbe matter. The assistant vice resources. president for human Kaars noted that it wo uld be unethical to submit someone else's resume without aslc.ing. Wilson pointed out that the Personnel Department doesn' release any information from its files on employees. However, tbe resumes of people looking for jobs are circulated at their request. The ~e is not who owns a resume, but what the procedure regarding resumes should be, K.aars and Wilson agreed. In otber business: • Claude Welch of Political Science asked for suggestioos on information that should be included in an updated version of the Faculty/ Staff Handbook. 0 �TOUGH YEAR AWAITS 1 Division Ill team faces a Division II schedule; modest results expected By FRANK BAKER A t this time last year, UB men's basketball coach Dan Bau.ani (55-46, 5th season) was in an enviable posttion. He knew be bad tbe talent to compete with the best Division Ill teams in the State; all he had to do was mold the talent into a team. He was, to some extent, able to do that, and the Bulls finished 15-10. This year he again finds himself in the same predicament. He knows he can beat almost any Division Ill school., but unfortunatel y, the Bulls are going to play an almost exclusively Division II schedule. " l don 't want to dwell on the negative, ~ said the Bulls' mentor, "but this is the toughest schedu le I've had in my five years here. I just hope we11 be competitive." Those are not the words Bull-backers want to hear, but they are the grim reality. UB faces a schedule which includes Gannon, the second-ranked Division II team in the nation last year, 1986 Division III national champion Potsdam, St. Anselm, 25-5 last year, and, of coun;e, arch-rival Buffalo State. With that kind of a schedule, what can the Bulls' faithJul expect? Read on.

It wasn, _ As was the case with all of U B's sports teams, Bazzani and his staff were caught in the decision to upgrade on hold for a year. Originally, said given the go-ahead middle when the ath letics was put Bazzani. he was to offer scholar- ships. When that privilege was taken away, he was left in a predicament. How could he play a Division II schedule without scholarship players? .. Recruiting could have been a disas- d.icu:d 8azz;uoi.. ·ue.. a great talent."

Up front, UB will be considerably lackins in tbree areas: siu, strength , and expc::rimcc. However, Bazz.ani does have four n:cruits on hand who will lO fin tbc occds.

"(Assistant) Coach (Rich) Jacob did a good job under the circumstances, and we did get two or three pretty good transfen." In the future, Bazzani said be would tike to get away from junior coJJcge transfers as the main thrust of his recruiting because "they have trouble academically and tbc)."n: only here two years. We want to build with freshmen. • Topping the tist of this year's freshmen is 6'2• guard Rick Coleman from Binghamton. Coleman teamed in tbc backcourt at Bingham)on High School with King Rice, now tbe potential starting point guard at North Carolina. "Rick is a good jumper, quick, and u..-......ty f..- tbc Bulls, there an: oaty two .--...., Jcttermen, both r.- J.a ,ear.

Heading tbe list of returnees is a beefier Bill Smith, a 67• sophomore who averaged 6.9 points per game (ppg) and 4.4 rebounds per game (rpg) last season. Smith, who bad knee SIJI&CI'Y in the off-season and bas been ~ampercd by soreness in his koees during the preseason, should start at one forward slpt. •Bill has worked harder in the offseason than any player I've ever bad,• commented Bazzani. "He's been tifting weights and bas put on 35 pounds of muscle. If anyone deserves to have a great, injury-free year, it's Billy." Bazzani added that he- expects Smith to be the team's "horse" under tbc basket. "Bill bas been going strong to the basket in practice and bas made some of his teammates mad because be gets so physical," laughed BazzanL "He's a .vcry good player with a great attitude who's just going to get better and better.• Another player wbo Bauani sa;r.; bas a great attitude and who will be counted on heavily is 57•, junior point �No tw 11, 11187 v--.1t,No.11 THE .BULLS A--- then transferred," recalled Bazzani. " He can play forward or guard and is a great shooter. How mudt be plays will depend on the situation." The Bulls also wdcome back Kun Jute, a 6', sopboDJCJR: guard who averaged 1.3 ppg and 1.3 rpg last year. KEY LOSSES As has been the .,_ in recent years, the Bulls are ap,ain farad to rebuild because of the los. of key ~- This year, because c i the ball in the upgrade, the problem is evm mon: xute. " We were boor:st with the guys last year," said Bazzani. "I bad each one come into my office, anoll 1 old them that they were wdcome to try out for the team, but that it would be hard fof them to stay ben: and play with the upgrade. "'Some of the guys aren' playing because of grad<s." admitted the coach, "but most tramlan:d because of the upgrade. We wen: awan:: that many of the players would leave for vario us reasons.· The Bulls have lost three staners fro m last year, four olhcr players who saw considerable or spGit action, and their captain, Derek SumiDtirs. Gone are starti.o& forward Anthony Miller (14.6 ppg and 8. 1 rpg), first-team guard Kyle Givem (9.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg), and starting guard-forward Nick O'Neil (8.5 ppg and 3.3 rpg). Also depal1cd -Joe Etonio (9.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg). Jaazie F.ic:bd d .6 ppg and 1.3 rpg), Alex Scpi (2.8 ppg and 2.0 rpg), Chris Mathews (2.8 ppg and 4. 7 rpg), Guilio Co~aDFo (2.1 ppg and 2.5 rpg), and SWIUIICIS (3.7 ppg and 1.6 rpg). Division II), most of o ur ga mes arc away. T hat"s only going to make it tougher fo r us." And the games that are ho me aren't much easier, conceded Bazz.ani. " Us uall y you can look down a schedule and see a few games th at you..-know you11 win big at home," he said . .. There aren't any this year." "The best thi ng we can do is play well at home. be competitive on the road , and get to the second semester when we can use Coleman ."' If UB is to be successful. they wi ll have to get off to a good st art. T heir first game, tomorrow in the opening to urn a ment, could give the young Bulls the co nfidence tbey will need when they face G a nnon in the home opener ·on Nov. 27. On the oth er band, two blow-ou ts on the road before the Gannon game co uld spell disaster. O ne thing that is on the Bulls' side goi ng into this campaign is the team's attit ude. Acco rding to Bazzani, they're one of the most likable and hard working teams he has ever coached. They also get along well individually, be said. How long that friendsh ip lasts when the losses start piling up is an yone's round of rhe Keene Sta te Classic is against St. Anse lm. A good showing g uess. there, and in the next round of th e Our Prediction: 7-2t 0 OUTLOOK is an excellent leader," said Bazzani. ~He runs the show out there and knows exactly what I want from him. He's very exCiting to watch." According to Bazzani, the sometimes out-of-control Washington is also a much improved player this year. . ~ Mike has much better range on his Jump shot," noted the coacb. ~, bave confidence in him taking three-point shots this year." One plus for both Bazzani and Washington is the team's added speed. ~we dido' have anyone who could stay with Mike on the (fast) break last year," lamented Bazzani. ~This year we do." Gene Glenn, a 6Y guard-forward who .sat out last year because of academic problems, should also see time off the bench this season. ~Gene is the best defensive player on the team and will be ou~ defensive specialist," said Erik Berg, a 6'4", sharp-5hooting guard, is the . team's only senior and returns to the Bulls after a two-year s-am. absence. ~ Erik played here as a freshman but With the loss of virtually all of their scoring and rebow>ding tale nt , thi s yea r's hoop team could be in fo r a very long winter. Because the Bulls were caught in the shuffle when the upgrade was put on bold - and thus could not recruit the type of !alent needed to compete effeCtively at this~ - there are some players on the team who should not be playing at Division II and are just filling praclice space. The Bulls will have to make d o wi t h a team that lacts the size to co mpe te night-in and ni&ht-<>ut with teams in the Mideast Confen:uce (the co nference UB will compete in on the D ivisio n II level). Bazzani acknowicd&<s the pro ble m. ~ we:re not physical and we 're not experienced. It's tough to win with freshmen." In order to win, or at ~t be competitive, this year, be said ~ Bulls will have to run and pra:sun: more. They will also have to bit the three point shot in order to opcu thing:s up underneath for their hi& mm. ~we should baYC a balanced scoring attack," said Bazzani, adding that players like Wasbin&to~>. Hall, Jones, Smith, Lowe, and 11crz will have to contribute on a ID&hdJ basis in order for the Bulls to lllay cloee.

The Eskimo sculpture, a black soap· stone carving of an adult carrying a chi ld piggyback, will be formally dedi· ca ted during a ceremony at II a.m. Monday, Nov. 30 in the gallery on the fifth noor of Capen Hall. President Steven B. Sample and Charles F. Rog· e rs. Canadian consul gene ral , will deliver remarks. The sculpture was carved by inuit artist Ltvi Qumaluk, 70, of Povungni tuk , Quebec, a community on the shores of Hudson Bay, just below the A rctic Circle . As a yo ung man , Qumaluk hunted often to support his fa mily. but his chief occupation now is the carving of soapstone. Qumaluk's sculptures s how the st ruggle for survival in a frigid land , and man y of his works are based on muit legends and folklore, 2ccording to La Federation des Cooperatives du ~ o u v eau-Quebec, the Montreal office fo r the II inuit cooperati ve busi nesses m Arctic Quebec. He is considered to be one of the most innovative and creati\C artists in Povuognituk, the federation says.

"We carve the animals because they are important to us as food . We carve inuit figures because in that way we can show ourselves to the world as we were in the past and as we now are. That is why we carve men hunting and building igloos and women making something that they will use, maybe sewing kamiks (boots) or clothing or using an ulu (knife). No matter what activity the carved figure is engaged in. something about it will be true. That is because we carve to show what we have done as people. There is nothing man·elous about it. It is the re for everyone to see. It is just the truth." fter the dedication, the UB sculpture will be permanently displayed in the Canadian resource area in the basement of the Lockwood Library. The resource area features Canadian publications. government document s and some pamphlets.

The Canadian-American Studies Program at UB is an interdisciplinary effort directed by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. says Marilyn B. Hoskin, associate dean of Social Sciences. The dean's office is conducting a search for a prof~sor of Canadian Studies to head the program. The program, which Hoskin says has been supported by the Canadian government since 1981 . currently is sponsoring a lecture series featuring prominent schol.a.n discussing topics such as Canadian trade relations , immigration policy and human rights. Several academic departments also are working to develop a Canadian Trade Ccnrer, similar to the China Trade Center in the School of Manage ment. 0 Hoskin says.

Hi• lecture ~as >ponsored by the Graduate -Group on Human Rights Law and Policy. rhc Canadian Charter was "born of a natio nal crisis, not one that was near lv as wonderful and sign~1caht as the America n Revolution no AS··bor· nhlc and pathetic as the Seco · world War." but a Canadian type ;or crisis tha t was "polite and democratii:i' tind ulttma tely not that interesting, ~.i900rd· mg. to Pentney. ·-... I ~ Prio r to passage of the Ch~ r in 1982. the wntten protection of .ng~ts tn Canada was very limited , he explarned . In 1947, a Provincial Bill of Rights was .drafted in Sasl<atcbewan; it was fol· lowed in 1967 by the Canadian Bill of Rtghts. But a crisis began to evolve in the late 70s and early '80s, which was brough t about by Quebec's desire for a cha nge in the basic constitutionaJ order th at wo uld recognize the uniqueness of that provi nce as well as by other regio nal challe~ges to the constitutional order. he said. The crisis came to a head as a result of the threat that Quebec would separate ftom the coun· try and form a semi-autonomous stale. ''That was the trigge ring point th at reall y led to th e enactment of the Char· ter ... Pentne y said . "I n order to defeat the forces of the Quebec government. the federal government and others engaged in a campaign that was b~ed on the promise of renewed federahsm . They prom· ised to make fundamental changes to accommodate the strong desires of Quebecers for a new place within Canada." When it came time to move from this general commitment to a new federalism to thinking about what we would do. Pentncy said, we ~new from the outset that o ne of the thmgs would be to write down a list of rights in the true pQst-war tradition . P.art ca me from the Canadian Bill of Rtghts. part from so me unique Canadian nc:eds, and th e remainder from the Amencaa and international systems. .tThc examples that were draw~..upon were both positive and negat~ he noted . · ··some specific procedural gua.i\ntees are there only because o~ the A~~rican ex perience." Pentney satd . For "txample. the Canadian Charter drew bn the U.S. Bill of Rights regardmg the nght to counsel and to be: informed of that right. However, U.S . precedents related to exclusion o f evidence were percetved as being too wide-reaching and were modified . The Canadian Charter offers "the usual guarantees yo u 'd expect in. terms of fundamental political ri_g hts," mclud· ing freedoms of expression! rehg~on. assembly, association, _and tn3;1 protections, Pentney notci:l .. Al!d . t.n many instances, the language ts stmtlar to the American equivalents. . But the document also offers pr~tec­ tions that are ."~q_ue!Y. . -~ld~," suc h as freedom of th o ught, belief, o p ini o n, and expressi o n. including freed om of the press and freedom for other media of communication . "(The U. S.) Bill of Rights tends to be shoner. but the doctrines that it protects parallel the guarantees we have quite closely," Pentney said. " We have guarantees of collective ri gh ts that are unique as well, .. such as protections surrounding bilingualism . and th e rights of minorities to have "The government has been given an opt-out clause; it can revok§__rights." education. for the ir children in the ~an­ guage of their choice. he Canadian Charter, Pentney said , guarant~s citizens of that count ry four kinds of equality: equality before and under the law, a nd equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. But, he noted, the Charter takes non~iscrimination a step further than the American standard. MWithout discrimination based on race. eth nicity ..or national origin, color. religion. sex, age, or mental or physical disability - it is something that goes far beyond anything you contemplated in the 14th Am~ndment," Pentney said. The Canadian Charter also includes an equal rights amendment that says that "rights and freedoms are guaran· teed equal to male and female persons." Another important difference between T th e Ca nadian Charter and the U.S. Const itut ion is "we have an o pt-out provision ... Pentney said. nder Section 33 of the Canadian Chaner, the government can raise a Charter challenge, and revoke any rights that it deems necessary. For example. striking government workers in Saskatchewan were ordered back on the job, despite the fact that such an order violated the workers' equal rights and right to freedom of assembly. "This law can apply notwithstanding the Charter. That kind of declaration can be made by a legislature with an ordinary majority and will survive for five yean .... lt is a profoundly dangerous section, l think, because it seems to me we need these rights most when they are least likely to be protected by a majority. And Section 33 is most likely to be used by an innamed majority to take away fundamental rights just when the minority most needs them." U.S. legal cases have had a "lre· mendous, almost impossible to overestimate" influence on interpretation of the Canadian Charter, according to Pentney. "l did a rough count of the first 15 cases that I had in my office on Supreme Court of Canada rulings on the Chaner. International sources were cited six times, U.S. cases were cited in II of those 15 cases, and a total of 50 U.S. cases were cited. Many of them were cited as illustrating a broad doctrine." These numbers point to a ..dramatic reversal" in the previous view of international sources, particularly American sources, which are now being taken more into consideration in Canadian Supreme Court rulings. And that tendency, Pentney says, is both "a boon and a burden." 0 U �November 19, 1987 Volume 19, No. 11 Milton Plesur: One of our favorite own being." He pursued this interest through more than 90 interviews and encounters with stars and moguls of Hollywood ( man y of whom were his friends), collecting data for a projected book o n the attitudes and opinions of movie-makers of the era between 1920 and 1940.

As one colleague put it, he "made history come alive. " As he once told a columnist from Newsday, "I'll do anything short of a naked softshoe routine if they'll get involved ." M Over the yea rs.

He chaired sessio ns and I or read papers at various confere nces and professional meetings. including those of the Organization of American Histo rians. the American Historical Association, the American Jewish Historical Society, and the Popular Culture Association. He was president of the Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Buffalo, chairman of the Institute for Jewish Studies, and had been a member of the board of trustees of Medaille College. Always accessible , he enjoyed his students. enjoyed being with them . He could be shocking sometimes; so bering at ot hers. Sometimes he might rail at them for their collective naivete. the ir apparent di sinterest in su bjects he considered important. But there was always an avuncular cast to those admonishments, an underlying warmth and concern that won for him the distinction of being the one professor that most alumni of th e last three and o ne half decades would immediatel y recall when thinking about UB. " How's Milton Plesur?" the y would invariabl y ask. Tom Bauerle. a radio personality at WGR and a recent graduate. is typical of those who remember Plesur for his generosity to students. .. When you went to speak ro Milton. generally you couldn't expect to get out in less than an hour. And there was usuall y a line of students {waiting to talk to him." He saw them all. When Plesur was a guest on Bauerle's nighttime talk show once. many calls came in from people who had taken courses from him 10 and 20 years ago, Bauerle remembered . ""He was very much loved. I will remember him as a very generous man, a great teacher, a great coun selor. and a very warm and loving friend . And I wiH miss him immeasurably," Bauerle said , speaking for many.

He could be outspoken and pointed when the occasion warranted . Prof. Gerhard Falk . a Buffalo State sociologist and a close friend . noted that '" He spoke th e truth without embellishment and ne ve r feared to step on the toes of th e a rrogant and the powerful." Nor did he suffer gladl y the slings and arrows of petty irritations . He had been known to pick up the phone to scold Wend y's for not having an adequate menu selecti on for overweight people. Or he might call the AAA to register a blistering complaint about their service on a sto rm y, winter day. He could be especially testy about that. Plesur would also call the Reporter regularly with his critiques on what was in the news and what wasn) but ought to be. One of his major concerns was that, in his view, this Universi ty doesn't place a lot of stock in teaching the way 11 used -to - the way it sho uld - the way it did in the era of Will Pratt, Jolon Horton, and Selig Adler, those almost mythic megateachers who figure so prominently in the lore of the old UB. The way Pratt and Julian Park and Capen used to run the University, the way John Holton would always tip his hat, the way Adler would imitate Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill, or a German U-boat commander - Plesur reveled in those tales and •.··.• I •l He is listed in several international directories, belonged to a score of professional organizations and societies. a nd wrote six books and a shelf-full of articles and essays .

Plesur earned an M.A . in history at UB in 1949, then took his Ph.D . at the University of Rochester in I 954. His formal professio nal association with UB began in 1955. He was actin~ director of the old Division of General and Technical Studies from 1956-59 , then served as assistant dean of University College (the undergraduate college of its day) from 1959-1966. In 1965, he was acting dean of that unit. Those positions, which brought him in close, daily contact with students Universi ty ~wide, were his favorite assignments at tbe University. Later, ·from 1968 to 1975, he was director of the Master in Social Sciences program. Throughout these years, he remained close to the classroom as well. ven o n your first visit with Plesur. another former student recaUed . ··you could get to know a lot more about him than would be possible with most other professors - just by listening to him talking about some movie he just saw. or abou t why he 'd never go back to Wendy's. or about the way the University used to be." If Plesur himself wasn) there. all you had 10 do was look around : " Walls and bullet in boards were crammed with dozens of black and white photos of friends and actors. o f presidents and of old movie stars, many of whom he'd interviewed for his book . Every square inch of space was taken up with the stuff Plesur thought about, talked about , and shared."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Page 6 State University of New York a officer : 112 is many,' Katrina Guest who's~ done it." Resident Katrina Guest races through hospital corridor as part of her usual long work week . I f a proposed change in the State hospital code is approved . UB interns and residents along with others throughout New York would be limited to workin g no more than 80 hours a week. That might seem an obvious answer to ease the burden of what appears to be: a superh uman workload on the part of these individuals. who arc also referred to as house officc:rs. But the proposal raises man y questions bearing on Medical School pol icies and procedures: • Will the education of the house officers suffer? • Will New York S~te's medical education be seen as inferior to that in other states? • Will patient care suffer if the houn of bouse officers are cut? • Does patient care now suffer wben bouse officers an: allowed to work 36bour shifts? · "'These are perplexing questions," said John Naughton, dean of the UB Medical School and vice president for ctinical affairs. He admits he doesn' Ending the 80-hour week Reasonable-sounding State mandate poses perplexing challenges for medical education have answe~ . These questions affect both the hospitals and medical schools in the State because of the dual roles of interns and residents, Naughton noted . These house officcn are in the hospitals primarily to receive an education, but they also work for the hospital. 1bc proposal would eliminate the 36bour shift that some house officers work and limit them to work.ing no more than 16 hours per _shift. A compromise being discusse'd would allow 24-hour shifts, Naughton said . (Those working in emerp,. - ·· •1,11 •uld be limited to 12 ~hou r shifts. but that's what's normally done already, Naughton noted .) Following a recent series of public hearings, the proposal is being modified . A draft for public scrutiny may be available in December, with a final versio n in the spring, Naughton said . The plans call for the proposal to be in _ effect in 1989. · here's no do.ubt there will be a change in the code, the dean said. but there is still time to influence: what it looks like. T House officers may now work 90 hours a week or even mort:. Naughton said . They usually have a 36-hour shift every third day. Sometimes they can nap during those long shifts. he noted. Yet the workload has actually decreased since 1960. Naughton said. House officers used to put in a 36-hour shift every other night. There aren't as many patients per resident as there were then. but the intensity of care has mcrcasc:d, he said . They work harder per case. T he emphasis should be on rcductton of workload, not hours, said Katrina Guest, M.D.. a resident in internal medicine and a member of the House Staff Commillce of the UB Medical / Dental Educational Conso rtium. Guest rotates among the Veterans Administratio_n Medical Center, Erie Co unty Medical Center, and Buffalo G_eneral Hospital. "['lhink that the workload of most primary cart: interns and residents cou ld ~ reduced_ in order to improve the qualtty of patoent care," Guest said . • See House Slat!, page 2 �House Staff "but I stress the word 'worldoad' and not necessarily hours .... More ancillary care is needed 24 hours a day, she said. This would include X-ray technicians, people to draw blood samples, and people to take EKG tests. These are tasks residents often perform at night, she explained. Providing more ancillary care would, in tum, make a difference in the number of hours residents would have to work, she said. The number of hours residents work varies greatly. Those in psychiatry or dermatology basically work 9 to 5, she said and can take calls at home. Those in s~rgery are on call at the hospital every other night. Snap decisions aren l made well when people keep these long hours, she said. "I certainly wouldnl want som~body who'd been up all night to operate on me," Guest saJd. From Page I gram attractive to ~edi~ students, Guest said. However, 1t r3.lses the question of whether afterwards you could get a residency at a prestigious program like Harvard or Johns Hopkins without the rigorous training. she pointed out. If the hours of bouse officers are cut, it's important that ancillary services be added , she emphasized . Otherwise , patients will suffer. "There need to be changes so the house staff doesnl feel like they're cheating the patient if they get to go home," she SaJd. aughton agrees on the importance of adding ancillary care, espeetally for public hospitals in tbe New York City area. Patient care could suffer as this proposal is phased in, Nau~ton said because no plan bas been devised yet ~n bow hospitals will shore up their manpower. Another problem with limiting the number of hours bouse officers can work is that it could interrupt the C?n· ow many hours shouJd a bouse i tinuity of care, Naughton SaJd. If a s1ck patient is admitted at night and an officer work? "I know 112 is too many," Guest said I totem or resident leaves at 8 a.m., tbe firmly.

Could a system of compensatory time-off be suq::essful? House officen could follow a case to a logical conclusion, even if it meant working overtime, aod take extra time ofT later. " In tbe real world, lbe answer is probably yes," Naughton said. •&t it would take a lot o( bookkeeping, aod rbt's something we're not used to." f other states don' move in this direction, it could burt recruitment and put New York State's medical education program at a disadvantage, Naughton said. Students don' want to be in a program wbere they may not learn. Naughton also resents having tbe State dictate tbe structure of tbe education program. "What I'd really like to sec is tbe development of structure left to tbe institution," he said. "The l..egislature can mandate what programs to have, but it shouldn' tell us how to do tbe programs.

Tbe Faculty Senate Executive Committee was to vote on the proposal for review yesterday. The _Speeial Talent Admission Committee started out as tbe Individualized Admissions Committee in 1974 when be was chairman of the Faculty Senate, Hqchfteld said. The intent of that committee was to consider students who were talented in art or music, but didnl meet tbe standard admissions criteria. He said that athletic talent wasnl to be considered a special talent. He conceded, though, that athletes were admitted through tbe committee in its ftnt year. MBut I donl believe that because we ba-..e s1nned for 10 yean we should continue sinning,MHocb!ield said. e also noted that the University was having trouble filling its cluses at tbe time, aDd tbe committee seemed l.ike a good idea. But now the number of athletes H being screened has shot up and constitutes one-third of the cases, be said. "That' a lot, Mhe noted. Hochfield criticized the special treatment athletes get. Coaches give preceded application forms to athletes they want to recruit. lf the athlete isn l accepted through regular . admissions, the encoded application signals the admissions office to suppress the rejection letter and forward the application to the committee. "The Athletic Department simply has a different end from thf;J rest of the University-success _ on the field." -GEORGE HOCHFIELD Any other student would receive a letter denying him or her admission and instructing him that be may apply again through the committee. Tbe admissions office implemented the procedures to enhance recruitment of athletes, said -Durkin. That's something the Faculty Senate supported in its vote for upgrading intercollegiate athletics. Students with special talents are re- crttited in other areas, such as engineering and music, Durkin said, but there are no special programs for them. MWe're not moving to Division I in music, Mhe explained. Mit's the context within which the arrangements are being made. " It's the desire on the part of the University at Buffalo to enhance our attractiveness to student athletes who are, I'd like to think, academically talented ." ocb!ield criticized a policy document on admissions procedures that carne from the office of Robert J . Wagner, vice president for University services. Hocb!ield said be dido' think there bad been any faculty consultation on the document. That document also created two committees instead of one - one was to have been made up of faculty and the other of professional staff. Durkin said be wrote the document, dated May 18. But the Faculty Senate Executive Committee tho!lght the two committee idea inappropriate and the policy has since been changed, be said. The document is the result of correspondence among Durkin's office and the provost, the lntercQUegiate Athletics Board , and the Faculty Senate, Durkin said. Mwe donl make policyM in the admissions office, Durkin said. Ml feel we're implementing the desires of the Faculty Senate. We get our marching orders from the Faculty Senate." H rocedures for of athletes are different than for nonatbP letes, but once a comes to the Sperecroitment case cial Talent Admission Committee, it's treated on its own merits, Durkin said. As the members of the committee examine the credentials of an applicant, they arenl thinking about the future of athletics at UB, Durkin said. They're deciding whether this real-life student has the potential to make the grade at UB. "The debate isn l usually about the talent, but whether the student can withstand the academic rigor, MDurkin indicated . Hocb!ield said his call for a review of the committee isn l an attempt to undo the Faculty Senate's vote in support of upgrading intercollegiate athletics, though he would undo that vote if be could. MSince I can' undo it, I'd l.ike to keep it honest, Mhe said ~ In order to do that, the faculty must take extreme care and establish clear academic guidelines. Last semester, faculty members were once again named to the Special Talent Admission Committee after years of neglect by the faculty. The faculty always forget about these programs and let them fall into the bands of the professionals and erode, Hocb!ield said. MThe athletic department simply bas a different end from the rest of the University - to succeed on the athletic field, M Hocb!ield charged. MTbeir protestations are for public consumption. The truth is that they always want to win." 0 UB joins ·in nationai Geog-r aphy Awareness Week to people who wis h to sharpen their skills in intemationaJ trade.

D �November12,1987 Volume 19, No. 10 VVho's on first? The VP for Sponsored Programs By ANTHONY CHASE " W e don\ want our research fa.culty to have to tak_e time away from tbe1r research to do administrative work ft says Dale M. Landi, vice president fo; sponsored programs. " lCs the goal of this office to take ~he ad~•· nistrative burden off the mvestlgator. To better accomplish this, all areas relating to grants and contracts now report to Landi as a part of U.e new administrative organization. Cutting red tape is not the office's only function. "We have a five-year goal to double the real dollar volume of sponsored research at the University," states Landi. The current volume IS $72 ~~t~f this must come from federal soun:es, ft the only source capable of such large-scale research sponsorsh•p, he says. . . . Landi joined the U01vers1ty 10 March, and took charge of grant applications, or the pre-award area. In June, responsibility for the post-award area shifted to his office as well. "We are one of the few universities to have all those separate functions administered out of one office," notes Landi. "It's because research is · a high Spon5oroo-c Proc:ra·T s priority, ... be says . ..In a leSs streamlined system, if you oecdcd a rheos~at, or an electron microscope, you m1ght find yourself waiting in line. You will get better service under the new organization. ft Landi explains that the first role of the office is to track down sourees of research money. These funds generally come from four soun:es: the federal government (through such programs as the National Science Foundation and NASA), State agencies (such as the Department of Environmental Conservation), pnvate foundations, and private industry. Tbe other function of the office is to serve the economic development of Western New York. ln this capacity, the office is becoming involved with local industry. Possibilities for interaction between UB and industry include cooperative 'rtsean:h and commercial a_Pplication of laboratory research. Projeets linking UB to Bell Aerospace and Moog are among those already under"Way. Two other projects . involve local compar;aies that are attempting to diversify into medical products. One involves indepepdent-transfer technology for tbe handicapped. This equipment would enable handicapped people to move from place to place, say from the bed to a chair or from the toilet to a wheelchair, without assistance. Another company is working with UB to develop a "tele-tendon-tap, ft a neurological device designed to measure muscle activity. o accomplish offoa:'s goals . of T increaaed fuodins and interaction with local industry, Landi explains that tbe its newly oeotraliz.ed actiVJiies •have been divided into three main areu. • Progr-. ~ the ftnt of these areu, deals with all post-award services. After an application for funding bas been filed and an award ha!: been granted , Landi's a re.a . adn:tinisters contract and grant admtmstratwn. purchasing, payroll, and personnel including personnel policies. These activities include making sure that the University is in compliance with all the terms of a grant, w1th financial reporting requirements, and with adminiStrative reporting regula· lions. . • Program Admlnlatrauon, the second division under Landi's jurisdiction, involves contract negotiation and compliance. The office helps faculty and staff comply with SUNY policy and with tj). . policy of the sponsors . "If, for example, NASA makes an award to the University, this office n~otiates the terms of tbe award to _the satiSfaction of the SUNY Board of Trustees, the sponsor, and tbe Researeb Foundation, ft Landi explains. The Research Foundation is a private non-profit corporation that administers the funds for externally 1p01110red .-arch progrm~~ tbrougboirt tbe SUNY system. Researchers do not receive funds directly from the sponsor. The money goes to the Research Foundation, which then pays out the money, says Landi. ' •• • The Office of the Vke President for Spon sored Programs is the main representative of UB to the Research Foundation. To ensure smooth operation, the office assists researchers in the making of a budget. Land i st resses that use of the Research Foundation has the ad vantage of keeping a constant flow of money available. If a sponsor is slow with an award, the Research Foundation is able to ad vance funds, and research can prooeed. • Program Development is the other third of Landi's concerns. This component of Sponsored Programs oversees all pre- a wa rd serviCes to . faculty and staff. As pan of Program Development, the office identifies sponsors of research around the world , and matches their needs to UB's capabilities and interests, says Landi . " It works the other way as well, ft he add s. " The office helps potential "We don't want our research faculty to take timf)..lo do administrative work; we want to carry that burden." ::f''tr'ftriters understand the capabilities To accomplish this process of matching, tbe offoa: uses a computerized inventory of faculty interests. ~Wben a potential sponsor asks if UB is capable of taking Qn a particular project, we cbcct, through the complll(:r," Executive Editor, Universrty Publications ROBERT T. MARLETT Vice President Dale M. Land i in the Center for Electronic and Electro-Optics Materials. one of UB's new organized research centers. Behind him . a liquid phase epitaxy syste m for growth of high quality semi-conductor layers. Landi explains. The office either mak<> links between faculty researc'hers and sponsors, or refers the sponsor to other universities that may be capable of handling a project outside of UB·, interests. For example, if a sponsor . w ~n t s work done in printing and pubhshmg. there might be instances in wh•ch RIT would be a more likely candidate. "Some large-scale projeets require multi-year, multi-<lisciplinary involve· ment," says Landi . "The Nauonal Earthquake Center is a good example of this. ft Landi relates that arrang. ng this project required ~ many, many people." The Office of the V1c< President for Sponsored Programs got the necessary people together. "Very often the sponsor requires matching funds, ft Land• continued. "We arrange for University commitment. "If a faculty member has an idea, but needs seed money to do a good proposal, the office will arrange for that.ft he office takes on any number. of tasks to make the administration T and funding of rcsean:h more efficient. Aniong these, Landi notes that the office informs faculty of fund~ng opportunities, it assists in tbe preparauon of grant proposals, and it will even leod a hand in typing. . . . The office is involved .Pnmanl~ '" ~behind tbe scenes" activiues - ~gs ' that faculty and staff often don\ thiDk about. This, says Landi, is the whole 0 idea.

Pfe1fer Theatre, 681 Main Street. The play is a production of the Theatre and Daooe Department. Performanoes of "The Good Woman" will continue at 8 p.m., Thu!Jd@ySaturday; and 3 p.m. on Sunday, through December 13. There will no performances, however, on November 26-29 bocause of the Thanksgiving holiday. Directing the production will be Kazimicrz Braun, head of the UB acting program. Braun last directed a production of "The Good Woman of Sctzuan" 20 years ago in Torun, Poland. He also saw productions of Brecht directed by the playwright in Poland and at the Berliner Ensemble, Brecht's famous theatre company of the 1950s. Written in 1943 while Brecht was at the beigbt of his powers, "The Good Woman of Setzuan" is a parable play ~~ in pre-war China. In Braun's view, 11 IS a masterwork by "one of the greatest artists of the 20th oentury. • The play centers on Shen Te.- a pen- "The work is Brecht's way of telling us that it is often difficult . 'De-gooa, niless prostitute who is visited by three gods who are looking for a truly virtuous person. They reward her with money, but she is exploited by a band of parasitic relatives. Shen Te escapes their demands by disguising herself as a man - her ruthless and imaginary cou- . sin Shui Ta. After much travail, Shen Te tells the .gods that their insistence that she be good while living in a harsh world, "was a thunderbolt. It has tom me in two." The play, says Braun, is Brecht's way of telling us that "it ·is often extremely difficult to be good given the harsh circumstances of life." Like the medieval morality play, he adds, "The Good Woman" is conoemed with "the fight within each of us between good and evil." tauo says the play is a good of Brecht's desire to create B example effect for the audience. a ~distancing" In this way, comments critic Peter Jelavich, Brecht positioned th~ " 'magic' and emotionalism of the traditional theatre," against "the clarity, simplicity, and objectivity of a didactic stage." In this work, as· in so many other Brecht works, the playwright "is not trying to recreate life," says Braun, "but rather to create an artistic structure that is. based on his theories of how theatre should work." Braun says it is important for American audieooes and UB student actors to be exposed to Brecht. For this reason, he has included lectures on Brecht's theories during the rehearsals. "It is such a great opportunity for them to work with Brecht." It is not always advisable for acti"ng students ,' says Braun, ~to be stuck w1thm _the framework of (the usual) psycholog•cal realism that dominates the American theatre." Despite the didactic impulse, the play bas "enormous hUman potential," says the director. "It is a warm, attrac~ive and touching work.

One good review, and you've just been handed a due bill for Success, redeemable upon receipt. 0 Not so, says Will Crutchfield , music critic for the Tunes. "The power of a critic is largely a myth," he said during a recent t.a!k at Baird Hall on "What Critics Dlo. • "The most the critic can do is slow dow n one career for one season or speed it up when it perhaps sbouldn) be speeded up." hat doesn' stop people from believing in the power of the word, especially when that word happens to be published in the 7imes. Smce Crutchfield began reviewing music for the 7imes four years ago, he's been getting five to 10 pieces of mail a day ("90 per cent of it is positive," he says). He's r=ived a death threat. He was almost sued when his story on vocal bumout in opera was published , complete with names and photos. And then there's the typical everyday kind of work. Each week, Crutchfield reviews at least six concens and attends a few more just for interest, he reports on hard news such as an accident at the Met, he writes features and puff pieces T and settles commas with his editors, he studies musical scores, reads biographies, and goes to rehearsals. He even has a private life. Crutchfield is relatively new to the field. After graduation from Northwestern University with a degree in political science, he worked with singers and opera companies as a vocal coach and rehearsal ptanist. In 1980, he began writing music criticism - first for the Norfolk Ledger-Star, then for the New Haven Register. He has written book chapters and articles for many music publications, and is at work on a book about early recorded sound. In his opinion, the good music critic ideally meets certain qualifications . Perception, judgment, taste, knowledge of technical and theoretical aspects and of music history, ability to think straight and write clearly, an integrated philosophy of life - all of which have been mentioned as important by former music critics - should be included on the list, Crutchfield acknowledged . ~ And , I wouldn) entirely trust a critic who cou ldn't in one way or another make some music of his own," he added . E ven if all of these qualifications exi s ted in one supercritic, the resulting reviews still could not be con~ sidered as simply true or false : A recent . production of Bizet's opera, Carmen, Crutchfield said for example, left one reviewer overwhelmingly rhapsodic and left another in giggles. He pointed to an opc:ra star who received an unfavor· able review early in her career, and to a now-obscure singer who once got frontpage acclaim _ And a critic can be .. wrong,... but that doesn' mean that whar he says ~ is not stimulati_ng or worthwhile. Critics are used to readers' comments such as: "I can't believe we were at the same concert," or "How could you be the only one of 50,000 people who didn't like that performance?" Crutch· fieJd said. But a critic's review is not straight opinion, as "good" or "bad" as the opimon of any other audience member. "It's the duty and province of a critic to say what ·good' is," Crutchfield said. "He's received a death threat. He was almost sued when he named names in a story on vocal burnout." "Ultimately, a critic's worth is in what he brings to the work. "(We are) affected by our prejudices, our persCinal bandwagons. by what we think of Beverly Sills as a person," he added . " But that is not a calamitous situation. Criticism is not analogous to the judicial (process). We're not so powerful. The only power we have is persuasion through argument." ritics do influence. And they face certain responsibilities as a result, Crutchfield pointed out. The critic owes it to the performer or composer under review to give some concrete facts about the event aQd an assessment of where the performer fits, in terms of style, for example. ln addition, the n:view should be writt'en with a sense of proportion and context. A performer, for example, should not be C made a whipping boy or the target of a soapbox crusade, Crutchfield said. The critic must also be responsible to the general readership. At the Times, be said, that can be a point of contention. Some editors think music criticism should be intelligible to a reader coming to a New York Philharmonic review from the highlights of a Yankees' game. The review should be frank, clear, and stimulating, and it should explain certain technical points. In addition, criticism in Wabash, Indian a, won' be tbe same as criticism in New York City, wbere there are many major institutions, more than a couple of highly regarded critics, and a larger, more sophisticated readership. The critic has to be conscious of his market. "If you're the only critic and they're the major institution, you can "t square off." riticism has become the scholar's domain, Crutchfield added . C"Music is dominated by people who think. criticize, and research it, more than by people who perform it." Although both performers and critics have complained about the implications of writing criticism under deadline pressure, Crutchfield finds it gives him great empathy for the performer. "Deadlines bridge tbe gap between the critic and !be performer," he said. Both the musician and the critic perform under pressure. Both are responsible not only to tbemselves but oftCJJ to an institution. They must produce immediately and without erTor. Music itself does not need criticism in words, Crutchfield said in conclu· sion . .. We as rational beings need to artie~ ulate and rationa.li.ze our responses to experience. It's to that need that criticism (is addressed)." 0 Geology marks 60th anniversary with pledge to 'DIG' · By LiNDA GRACE-KOBAS . T be Department of Geology is · celebrating its 60th anniversary this year with a pledge to "DIG" - develop, improve, grow. The new slogan, which is proclaimed on department T -shirts, buuons, and banners, exemplifies the spirit that Department Chair Chester Langway hopes will push Geology's new fund drive and alumni program to success. well as alumni. More than l20 people attended . One alumnus, who owns his own water resources consulting firm . even interviewed several students and made two job offers. Langway sees the picnic as one way of building tradition for the department, which has suffered low undergraduate enrollment r=ntly because of employment problems and the department's location at Ridge Lea. "I don) see tradition among the department and alumni yet," he said. "We wanted to do something to celobrate the anniversary, and since geologists tend to be cordial people, who like to go out in the field and drink beer together, we thought we'd have a social occasion.

Environmental geology is now the biggest area of employment for graduates, as waste eology has grown in size and focus since 1927, wben its ftrst chairman G Reginald Pegrum - who was also its only faculty member for many years began its development as a department. Langway came to UB in 1975 from the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, Ne w Hampshire , bringing whb him an extensive and active research program iiwolving studies of ice cores from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. ln 1976, Pegrum died at the age of management he 60 Years Beller Campaign Fund T Drive has already ,begun to grow, Langway said . lt will be linked to the Alumni Coordinator Doris Millholland with anniversary T-shirt.

That son of dedication is not exactly typical of st udents in any course. But Comparative Primate Anatomy is not exactly run-<>f-tbe-mill either. " A comparative primate course wbere a student comes in and dissects a monkey bas tbe .opponuoity to compare that with !I" actual human cadaver is not geoerall• offered at the undergraduate !eve~" sa.id Joyce E. Sirianni, chair of tbe Aothropofogy Department and tbe course's instructor. "If it is offered at other universities, it's to no more than five or 10 students. We offer it to 200 a year. "It's probably tbe biggest course of its kind not only in the country but, I would gamble, in tbe world," sbe added. "Well over l,SOO students have Passe<! through the course over tbe last several years." Those stuaents include occupational and physical tberapy majors and premed and pre-denr students, along with anthropology majors. The course can be of value to students in a variety of de~nts, Sirianni emphasized. & As satellite courses to Comparative Primate Anatomy, Sirianni teaches Supervised Undergraduate Teaching and Undergraduate Supervised Research. Tbe first involves a five-person teaching staff: Sirianni, a graduate student and tbr.,e undergraduate stUdents. Teaching undergraduates bow to teach monkey dissection can benefit students in a couple of ways, Sirianni · noted. "It's imponant for ~graduates to learn bow to. commurucate, to express their ideas clearly," she sa.id. "Plus, this is a 1 chance for them to . ~y ~ anatomy. They "S tudents come to UB (and tbiok) that they bave to take (only) chemistry and biology to get into medical school," for example, she said. "We say, we have a series of courses in anthropology which will maximize your training toward that goal. It gives them a big lej! up." ' Medtcal anthropology, osteology, anatomy, and heredity and society, which considers bow cultures handle genetic disease, are among sucb courses, she pointed out. Sirianni, a !?hysical anthropologist who specializes 10 primate morpbolo~ , joined the UB faculty in 1972. A seruor member of tbe Undergraduate ColleRe, she received tbe Cbancdlor's A'l"ard ror ExceUence in Teaching in 1978. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees from UB and a doctorate from the University of Washington iri Seattle. ~y 'The Anthropology Department is a rarity among the Social Sciences with its laboratory orientation _. . . ." - JOYCE SIRIANNI want to Jearn anatomy and there just isn' anything like this in the country. I tell my colleagues (at other universities) about using undergraduates as TA 's and they're just bowi<Od over." The students are heavily superVised, Sirianni added, and are trained in teaching techniques. Only tbe graduate students, however, )ive lectures. Undergraduate Supervised R=arcb is a small, intensive course in wbicb students learn the basics of doing a research project. "I work with tbem individually and as a class," Sirianni sa.id. "They have to come up with a research project, collect and analyze the data, and present it, with slides, as if they were at a scientific convention." Because tbe course has proven so useful, it may be expanded to include graduate students. Graduate training, than either cultural anthror.ology 0 1 archaeology. One of Sirianru's jobs as chair of tbe depanment since fall '86 has been to keep aU three subfir.lds unified. "I think one of the problems Anthropology bas is that it is so varied," she said.

Her department, located in the Ellicott Complex, bas a lot of gond teaching space and a large collection of specimens. Several cold storage spaces, an inheritance from tbe old Spaulding cafeteria, are now occupied by monkey parts seai<Od in plastic bags. "We have incredibly good facilities in physical anthropology," ~be said. "They rank rigbl up there with (those at) the top 10 universities." Physical anthropology is by no means tbe main focus of tbe department; it is in fact a smaller subfield at UB who a r e human biologists. It's a wide range within one depanment and it takes some effon to keep those people integrated and to provide an integrated training program. , "We're very actively trying to make sure that a student who specializes in physical, for example, knows cultural and arcbaeulogy," Sirianni continued, "that that person is well-balanced intellectually and can incorporate skills of other subfields." The depanment, unique among tbe social sciences in its laboratory orientation, sbe added, is not only concerned with internal integration. .. We're very enthusiastic about making research links with other departments; we're a depanment that is seeking to make connections. And I'm looking to facilitate that as much as possible."

"Usually an American company does many different kinds of business. In China, one facto"· specializes in one area." · Although factories are focused on By SUE WUETCHER bang Xu-<:llao, a student in UB's China M.B.A. program, quoted English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton when asked to compare U.S . and Chinese business practices: "I am not a great man; I just stand on the shoulders of a great man." "All the world should realize this idea; everyone should introduce new ideas," said Zban!l, 30, who worked for the Chinese Mirustry of Coal Mining before enrolling in the UB program nearly three years ago. "If we (China) close the door (to new technology and ideas), we will be left behind. The different (economic) systems Jearn from each other." Zhang and fellow M.B.A. students Zhao Jia-fang and Zhao Ermin aU pointed to the opening of China to foreign business and technology in I 978 - a move they caU the beginning of the "open.<Joor policy" as the catalyst for an economic )'item that they say is slowly closing the gap with the U.S. The students are among 46 Chinese in Buffalo completing the fmal semester of the three-year M.B.A. program. They are taking management courses and spending two days a week as interns at local companies. Zhang, Zhao and Zhao, who are particularly interested in human resources issues, noted some similarities between Chinese and American businesses in motivating workers. Z M otivation of workers is considered an important aspect of Chinese economic reform. said Zhao, 40, the vice director of research and development for a Chinese electroniC$ comp-.ny who is an intern at Standard Oil Engineered Materials Co. here. In Chinese factories, where the head of the factory is also considered an employee, workers are told they should work harder because they are working for themselves, said Zhao, 38, the personnel manager of an air separator equipment company and an intern at Gibraltar Steel Corp. "In America, they tell the workers the same thing; they must work together or the factory will close. We're getting closer," he said . "We're using the same psychology to only one production area, productivi tv is lower than in the U.S., Zhao said adding that that is due to a lack of technology and managers. " Managers a.q; scarce," said Zhao an engi neer who had no manage~ent experience when he was promoted to personnel manager. "One of the most difftcult things is to m~nage people; it's easy to manage matenals and capnal " he observed, noting managers have lo hire workers. orient them 10 company procedures, train them. position them within the company , and pro vide incentives. ~ Most of the Chinese M.B.A. stu· dents, including Zhao, Zhao and Zhang, are engineers by training. the students said.

In fact , the concept of employee participation in a company, which in the U.S . often develops as profitsharing, came to the U.S: from Japan. said Zhang, who is an intern at Graphic Controls Corp . But the Japanese learned the concept from the Chinese, be added . The students noted that before they started the M.B.A. program, they had assumed there was frequent turnover in "We're getting closer (to the same business ideals)," Zhao repeated. "After all, we're all human beings," Zhang added . oney is just one factor that can be used to motivate workers. Zhao said, recalling ~a conversation he had with an Americau salesman. The salesman told him be had taken his job because he had the personality for sales and he liked the freedom of traveling and the cbaUenge of meeting his sales goals, Zhao said. Chall_-,g work and recognition for a job well done are also important in motivating workers, the students said. "ln China, sometimes we emphasize one side (money)," Zhao said. "We should learn bow to combine the two sides to meet the psychological needs of people." The students cited productivity and M rhe Amcrica1i .work force, with employ- ers constantly firing and haring workers. Thai is not the case, they discovered. In China, where employees had enjoyed life-long employment , the government now has given managers the right to hire and fire, said Zhang.

( Biomembranes Group may spawn formal program By FRANK BAKER T he stud y of biomembranes is a field that has grow n tremendo usly in the last 20 years and it may just be a matter of time before it becomes its own program at UB, says Philip Yeagle. head of UB's Biomembrane Grad uate Group. The group itself st udies vario us as pects of cell membranes, which are the basic structures of cells and carry all cell functions, notes Yeagle. .. Membranes control the co mpar1me ntalization fu ncti6n of cells and are the basis of all cell energy-making" among ot her thin gs. he says. "Many d iseases are membrane-oriented . such as Muscular Dystrophy and vi ral infections such as the nu ... Yeagle says that the group studies ways to help cure and / or prevent these diseases. .. We do research here to fi nd ou t how Jh ings d o and don) work in membranes." Yeagle suggests that because of its size and the ex tent ~f its research, t he biomembrane graduate group co ul d so meday be an A~eade m ic program. "The group is highy interdisciplinary and is one of the larger gr ad uate grou ps on cam pus. We have about 100 st ud en ts a nd fac u lty fro m seve r al institu tions." The gro up. wh ieh draws its panicipants from areas such as biochemistry. micro biology, pharmacology, medicine, and biophysics, utilizes ·not only UB fac ulty, but also professionals fro m Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Institute a nd Can ada ·s Mc M as ter a nd Brock univers ities. , " We have a very wide variety of peo- · pie and d isciplines." · adds Yeagle. " I believe that has to d o with the history a nd re putat ion of b lo me mbr an esrelated. work at UB.'" That history began in the 60's with Jall'es Danielli. " Dr. Danielli was a giant in t he field before biomembranes even became a field ," says Yeagle. "Our graduate group is a direct descendent from bis work. ··The field really took • off a bout 1970. • says Yeagle. "UB had its graduate group in place only a few years later. .. eagle. an associate professor of biochemistry. has been head of the group for Jhree years. He notes that st udents take courses and indepe nde nt studies fro m the group·s fac ult y, but, more impor1antly, that everyone in the group meets once or twice a year for an all-day seminar on biomembranes. .. We can provide a year's worth of semi nars in o ne day," says Yeagle . .. The workshop focuses on o ne to pic and we11 have six or eight speakers come in and discuss it. " The speakers. adds Yeagle. come from all over the world and gi ve students an opportu nity 10 ex pand their knowled ge beyond the expertise available in the Buffalo area. " Everyone invo lved gains valuable knowledge." says Yeagle. " We have very informative discussio n periods and interaction between participants. This is very valuable to research because many ideas fo r projects co me fro m the discussions and meetings ... The group's first seminar this acade mic year - " Biology of Membrane Lipids" - will be held Feb. 22. Aside from co ntinuing the bigbly successful one-<lay meetings, Yeagle bas some definite plans fo r the group 's fu tu re. First of all, he "wants to keep the grou p the same size. .. The gro up exists to se r ve it s membe rs and showcase their expertise." he says. " If it gets any bigger. we won't be able to d o that as well. " Yeagle adds that his pri mary goal is to help build UB's reputation nationally in the area of biomembranes. "The grou p is very pragmatic, it benefits many people," he says. "Those looking fo r grants have a better chance of gett ing them because u o ·s reputation is so good. The seminars imp rove that reputation and, consequently, as that reputation· gets even better, the chances for grants will also improve." 0 Y �November 12, 1987 Volume 19, No. 10 Curriculum Center is unusual resource for educators Kathy Kerner (left) and Kathy Gross look over curriculum materials. By ANTHONY CHASE idden in the basement of Bald y Hall , there is an unusual resource for educators and education students. Let's say, for instance, that you're a teacher who yearns for some of those flashy classroom materials that really get kids excited about school - posters of foreign countries , calendars with facts about dinosaurs, · activities to complement a science class on insects. Without any budget, yo u might be forced to reach into your own pocket, or to do without. There is an alternative. More and more area teachers come to the Curri culum Center, a resource available through the Department of Learning and Instruction m the Faculty of Educational Studies. The Center, housed in Baldy 17, boasts a large collection which includes elemeotory and secondary school textbook's, posters, ma~;a­ zines, newsletters from area school_dlstricts, and activity books. .. One woman came to look for elementary economics ideas and for fifth grade social studies textbooks," says Norma Shatz, library coordinator of the Curriculum Center. "It was easier for her to come to the center than it would have been to call many publishers - one-stop shopping rather than going to six different stores. .. There's a teacher who lives in Greece, New York , who comes here every Saturday to get stuff for the next week of teaching," says Shatz. "She doesn't have a curriculum center like this. She comes looking for teaching ideas, and for ideas for classroom activities .... H eggs," and "activity ideas for Patriots' Day." Shatz adds that since AIDS has been introduced into the New York State curriculum it has become a hot issue for the Curriculum Center. Certain materials would be very difficult to find anywhere but at the Curriculum Center. A curriculum coordinator carne looking for activities about bears to go with a sto ry he planned to read to a group of first-graders on the next day. Shatz relates that he was quite nervous. "These are first-graders," he said . "lf I bomb out now 111 have to face them for the next five years! ... The curriculum center was able to supply him with a file of bear activities. K athleen Kerner, one of two graduate assistants who works under Shau, observes that it's not just a curriculum coordinator who might be nervous about his teaching. ... A new teacher would come to us before he or she would go up to the department chair and say. ' I can't think of something to teach my class.· " she says. Many inner<ity teachers use the Curriculum Center, as do people with an interest in keeping up with changes in curriculum. Thrift is an important ingredient in the center's growth. Shatz and her staff are always on the lookout for freebies. Old publications are scanned for free offers. They are then cut up, and ideas are put into activity books. Shatz goes to publishers' exhibits to convince sales representatives to give her complimentary co pi~ of their texts. "A few years ago when I first started. it was very hard." says Shatz. "Publishers did not want !o give me all th ose free copies. This year it has begun to pay off." Recently Shatz attended a book exhibit where a sales rep walked up to her and said, "Thank you." "For what?" queried Shatz. "You helped me out," he said. A teacher had called him looking for one of his books. He dido' have a copy handy but was able to send her to the Curriculum Center. She adopted the book for her class. · To a large degree, the center has been promoted by word of mouth. ·As people who are familiar with this resource graduate and become teachers themselves, they return to use it, .. explains Shatz. 0 Classroom activiries are easy ro find at the center which bas a good collection of ... activity books, ... or fiJes containing activity ideas for use in the classroom on subjects ranging from astronomy to Zaire. A6 n open house to be held at the center on Wednesday. Nov: 18. from 3 to p.m. is designed to generate greater in terest. The annual open house will feature Ellen Mack Schultz, who wi ll offer a presentation called "The Living Biography of Beatrix Potter." Schultz, a Kenmore resident, is a member of the Beatrix Potter Society. She has traveled to England and Scotland to participate in conferences about the noted iUustrator and author of children's books . ln the living biography she will impersonate Potter, relating details of the author's career and severe yictorian upbringing. Schultz's presentation has been arranged by the Curriculum Center in recognition of Children's Book Week . lthough the center is attracting A increasing numbers of area educators, the majority of its users are the Teacher Education people here at the University. The center can offer them something that other libraries can'· explains Shall. ... Curriculum people are more interested in theory," she said. "The center is geared toward practice." An education student might be faced ""itb the task of putting together a math test. Not knowing bow to go about making up the test, or not being familiar with what is appropriate for a particular grade level, the student might be stuck. The curriculum center could provide informatiop on making tests, as weU as math books for any grac!c level. A teacher who wants to do a classroom unit on pets could easilr. find materials on pel> in a public bbrary, but would probably have to search hard fpr activities on them, says Shatz. The center can save teacben a lot of time. "We don't hesitate to refer peo.rle to other sources nf information, she adds. " Lockwood Library, for instance . has professional materials things more in the th eory or philosophy of how to teaeh. Lockwood does that very well. Buffalo State is an excellent so urce of children's literature."' ecent issues the center has helped patron s with include "helping children cope with death ," "how to plan curriculum, ... .. materials to teach about Africa," "how to hatch chicken R "One curriculum coordinator oame looking for material on bears. He found just the thing." Letters Not the whole ·story EDITOR: As the October 29 edition of the RLpo.rt~r reponed , there is no public safety crisis at YB:"1"he disappearance of a student did appear to provide a ripe opponunity for the under-graduate Student Association to make a pitch for a safer campus, though. One point I would like to clarify ;. your reponing of Pubtic Safety's week.ly reports. Although the front P"J" told people to look at page 2 for a typtcal week of Public Safety reports, pag< 2 only gave us a descriptio.n of 7 incidents. Although I agttt that hstiog all of the crime reports received by Public Safety in a given week might prove to be boring and take up valuable space, the way in which tbe column is writ- ten may give people somewhat of a false · impression about what is actualJy occurring pn campus. Jllll to clarify for you and the readers, durizta that week reported, October 9th throop the 16tli, Public Safety responded to a total of 327 calls for ~ervi­ ces. Included in that wm: reporu of 4 bur- gJaries, I bomb threat, 2 possessions of stolen propeny, 16 rcpons of suspicious persons, 37 intru.imralarms, 2 harassments, 2 trespassing, 10 criminal mischiefs, 23 petit larcenies, 2 ~rand larcenies, 12 false fire alarms, 3 cnminaJ tamperings, 2 motor vehicle hit and runs, I loitering, 2 stolen vehicla, I pubtic lewdness, I assault, and 3 thefts of services. Also, 8 people were arrested on criminal charges. While this may or may not be a typical week, as y·ou can sec, a tittle bit more happened than you had originally reponed. 0 - DONALD S.

These programs include Upward Bound , the Science and Technology Enrichment Program (STEP), and Talent Search. "We have learned that one of th e keys to students remaining in college and being successful is that they must be adequately prepared," said Walker. " We are trying to offer an early start. so students will have less of a need for tutoring and counseling at the college level." Another of the programs under Walker's direction provides professional education for people involved in urban community~based organizations. Walker comes to the job after many years in the mental health field, where she served as a deputy commissioner for the Erie County Department of Mental Health . She •ees "people devel· opment" as the conlinuous theme of her career. 1 director of the Cen ter for Applied H Public Affairs Studies. comes to UB enry In the forefront of dealing with minority issues Special Programs divides former Urban Affairs Center into two distinct, growing units (Left above) Applied Public Affairs Director Dr. Henry Taylor. (Right) Preparatory Programs Director Mary ,A.nn Walker. "y By ANTHONY CHASE ou will not find another institution within SUNY that has the breadth of university prep programs that we have here ... according to Robert Palmer. vice provost for student affairs . "They are extensive enough to warrant creating . a separate office. In many ways we are m the forefront of dealing with minority and special population issues ... The idea to create a separate office to handle all University preparatory programs was the result of a search for a director for the Center for Urban Affairs. Accordmg to Palmer, as th e search was tnlttated , "two outstandtng candi..dates emerged." This development presented an opportunity to enhance not only the pre-university programs, sai~ Palm~r. but the center's graduate, mtemshtp , and research programs as welL . ''The administration seized thts opportunity and we hired both individuals," he noted . · The impressive candidates who inspired thtS action are Henry Taylor, formerly of the University of Ohio, and Mary Ann Walker, former director of the urban revitalization task force for t.t>e New York State Assembly. . "What emerged under restructurtng was the Center for Applied Public Affairs Studies, and the Office of University Preparatory Programs," said Palmer. Both are units within Special Programs, a pan of the Diviston of Student Affairs. "We have broad and expansive special programs designed to attrad and maintain minority and economically · disadvantaged students. That's the common thread," said Palmer, "to provide unique and special opportunity for these students here at the University." ;Jylor. wh o was named after seven years at the University of Ohio where he held joint appoi ntments in the departments of history and black studies. Explaining the purpose of the center. Taylor says. ""A big goal is to build a "Development of people, urban research are the major themes." true urban st udies and public policy institute by combining two existing programs - the internship program and the graduate program in applied these public affairs studies, and to together with a very solid research ,-effort. ''This center sees as its mission the development of a knowledge base upon wh.icb public policies dealing with the probl6bs of special population groups can be studied and analyzed," Taylor continued. Taylor described special population groups as "any groups outside the centers of power in our country." Among these he listed African Americans, ruse Native Americans, Hispanics, the elderly, women, tbe homeless, and the handicapped. "For example, one study that we will be initiating this year will deal with the black housing and neighborhood problem," said- Taylor. In their exploration of this issue, researchers will adtlress several questions, be indicated : "What have American leaders at the local and national levels done by way of policy in terms of addressing the problem? How have they defined the question? What have they perceived as causality, and what kinds of specific solutions have they put forward as part of public policy? And to what extent have those policies actually addressed or solved the problem? "On the basis of that kind of study and analysis we will fonnulate our own policy position and statement. .. Another mission for the center is to create an interdisciplinary focal point for sc holars across the campus who are interested in doing research or in developing various cultural programs that deal with s pecial populat io n groups." said Taylor. One effort to launch the center in this direction will be a Buffalo and Western New York Studies Group to be started sometime next year. Through the group those interested in various studies of special population groups in the area would meet on a regular basis. Eventually, Taylor hopes, ideas for collective research or other projects wiH come out of this. Highlighting the imporra ncc of the cen fer 's research compo nent, Palmer interjected that as part of the Graduate and Research Init iative. the Un iversi ty has a specific special populations category. "We hope that Henry and his center will be able to co nlribute ro that effort," said Palmer. T he cente r's interdisciplinary graduate program in applied public affairs studies is housed in the Faculty of Social Sciences. Essentially, said Taylor. "we are attempting to prepare students for careers in administration and management both in government and in nongovernmental institutions that do business with government. "Our students pursue a fairly rigorous curriculum with courses in research and statistics, economics and public policy. They receive a master of science ' degree through Social Sciences' Office of Interdisciplinary Studies," be said. There is an internship program attached to the graduate program. Students are required to Lake four semesters of this type of experience wh.icb enables them to apply classroom knowledge to a real work situation. "That program bas been in operation for close to ten years, and has been very successful," said Taylor. Students have worked in various social or human service agencies, and with local legislators such as James Pitts of the Buffalo City Council. In addition to his duties as director of the center, Taylor holds an appointment as an associate professor in the Department of American Studies. His field of interest is American urban history with a focus on American urbl.!l development in tbe 19th and 20th centuries. Palmer observed that Taylor's associate professorship "is not an accident. It's pan of the overall thrust and focus. We wanted a true academician, a bona fide tenured faculty member to bead tbe center with an afftliation with a standing department. • American Studies," be added, "by its design and structure bu an interest in special populations and minorities." 0 �November 12, 1987 Volume 19, No. 10 UBriefs Sciences. has been named to the National Head Injury Foundation's Professio nal Council.

Juan decided to i.mmigate, illeplly to tbe United Stal.es. Here be qwcldy found a faclory job, and soon was making weU over S6 per hour. He traveled back and forth several times to visit his family in Mexico. After being caught and deported on his third trip back to the U.S., Juan decided the travel was too risky. He moved his entire family to the United States. Today Juan owns and operates a successful repair shop in Gary, Indiana. He employs several other mecbanics, also ~exicans. 1be men pay no social secunty or other taxes because Juan pays them in cash. Louisa no longer needs to work to help support tbe family. Business is risky, Juan reports, but the economic benefits of staying in America illegaJJy far outweigh the risks of deportation. The two figure that they will be able to return to Mexico in another 10 years. In tbe meantime, they are paying a subsW1tial portion of Juan's profits to an immigration lawyer who bas promised them immigration papers, so far wtthout results. T hough Juan's le$al status is dubious, his story IS undoubtedly a tale of success. "Immigrants are usually viewed by Americans as poor, uneducated persons, driven by political, social, and economic hardships to seek refuge here. The reality is sometimes quite different, " explains immigration authority Alejandro Portes. Pones, professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University, recently dehvered a lecture here titled "Making it m America: 1be Occupational and Economic Achievement Process of Contemporary hiunigrant G(oups." Tbere are today in America ftrst· generation millionaires wbo speak broken English; there are foreign-boll) mayors in some U.S . cities. There aie also great numbers of fac· tory and migrant farm-workers who speak little or no English. P~rtes hopes to develop a compre· hcnstve and predictive theory of immigrant success, ooe that takes "human capital" into account and also incorporates . an understanding of where and how tmmigrants are incorporated into u .s . society. The lack of a single assimilation proU.S. immigrants goes a long way toward establishing a theory of wby and bow different immigrant groups are successful to varying degrees here, be said. · . Tbe human capital of contemparary ommigrant groups the education, moltvation, and ability that they bring woth . them - does play an important role tn their JUOOCSS. Howeve.-, tt is by no I1IUDS the 'only nor occeaarily the most important faoctor in determining an imJ:nigrant's success, Portes noted. Tbe material, moral, and morale res!'urca provided by ethnic aroups, employers, and the JOw:rnmctlt play a most important role m detenoining that SU<:ocea, to Portes. cess for aU ac:cordiita "The ethnic and social conditions they are met with often predetermine occupational and economic success" ers is illustrated by a tacit acceptance of illegal aliens in southern slates to work in fields and factories, he noted . These examples illustrate the complexit y of factors which determine the success of contemporary immigrant groups. Portes noted . "Afterwards, people will ascribe cultural factors behind the success or failure of certain immigrant groups," be satd. "lbe facts, however, give lie:" to this sort of reasoning, be asserted. Cultural theorists explain that "such and s uch a group succeeds because of C ertain examples illustrate Portes' tbenry. Some immigrant groups seem to fare quite well in the United States. Changes in immigration laws in 1965 may provide some explanation for thaL These changes opened tbe doors to immigrants from Asia and Africa. groups that previously had been disallowed entry into the U.S . Tbe 1965 immi$f&tion act allowed entry for those to certain essential occupations (professionals, scientists, etc.) and for those who were previously separated from family members (grand· children of earlier immigrant Chinese, etc.), Portes said. This bas led to the "brain drain " of certain countries that lack economic and occupational opportunities for tbe well-educated . The sueeess of these immigrants may be related to tbe conditions they are met with on arrival in this country. In many instances these immi~rants are weleomed into the scientific and intellectual community of America, be explained . In other cases, faced with discrimination in employment, immigrants are motivated to provide self-<:mployment. Cuban immigrant groups fall into a similar categQry. They are often wei· corned into a thriving, successful business community developed by other Cuban immigrants in southern Florida. Their success may be related t!' the social and job oppprtunities made available to them in their new community, Portes noted. Other immigrant groups,_seem to fare less well A great proportton of some groups, although their members are of equal intelligence to members of succCssful groups, are limited to menial labor. any immigrants from Latin Aroer· for example, are more often than not absorbed tnto communities of farm laboten in southern ltal.es. Tbe ethnic and soeial conditions they are M ica, met with ofte~ predetermine any occupational or economic success they may be capable of. Individuals may be discouraged from seeking self-<:mployment by pressures to conform to the standards of the community of 'which the y arc a part. Portes human capitaJ" - inherent hard wort. dedication, motivatio n. ability, ere .. Portes noted . But these theories arc descriptive rather than predictive. "Cui rural and ethnic groups often view their own success this way, and the media i.s usuall y quick to pic k up on that and make it a popular view," he explained . Portes' lecture was sponsored by the Departments of Political Science and Sociology and the Graduate In itiative in Social Adaptation to Spectal Populations. 0 Seduction From page 16 Libyan leader M uarnmar Gadaffi. That was the week the U.S . bombed his camp. Several of the lines etched int o the painting formed the words "sex" and "kill, " according to Key. The pur· pose was to portray Gadaffi as a murderer. "Whether T/ M £ did it on its own greedy rru>tives or whether the White House called, it doesn' matter, " Key said. "They were manipulating public opinion at a time when we were attacking a foreign power. " That attack was never justified, Key argued . "We should not be doing this. There should be . a lot of people angry at having this done to them. " - - T bese techniques are found in art, too, Key claimed. He gave an example of Picasso's "The Dream. " One member of the audience saw a baby on tbe woman's breast. But Key saw a penis on tbe woman's fact, and within tbe . fact, a profile looking up at tbe peniS. "She bas, literally, male genitals on ber miod," Key said . And purple is used for that portion of the painting, the color ad agencies call the genital color, be added. Art critics describe ber hands as resting in ber lap. But Key notes that each haod bas sirfongers, implying motion. "So if she's moving ber fongers down there, and sbe's got this on ber miod, (Picasso is) making a provocative comment,~ Key noted. I f you can' sec the images as Key poi nts them out, he said, just relax. Being tense makes them harder to sec. .. This is an art of concealment, not exposition," Key said several times. The artists don' want you to sec these images on a cognitive level. " I don' think anything that can con· seio usly be perceived can harm you , " he said . "It can be dealt with. But this stuff does God knows what." Key said he will be an expert witness in a case lorought against CBS Records by the parents of a boy who attempted to kill himself after listening to songs by heavy-metal rocker Judas Priest for hours on end. The boy's friend succeeded in killing himself. The album uses su bliminals to extol the joys of suicide - people generally understand the lyrics, Key said. In the background is a chant of "do it, do it, do it." Key said he's confident that tbe family will be able to prove incitement, which is necessary to win the case. "This family will probably eod up owning CBS: be predicted. So what's to be done about sublimi· nal advertising? ·Key was asked. "ln a practical sense, probably very little,:- be said. But he did have this advice: "Don' take anything at face value. Question everything. Philosophers have been saying that for thousands of years. It's pretty good advice.~ D can' �Nowenlber 12, 1987 V~19,No.10 T uses hypnosis frequently in his studies. People arc sensitive to the ideas of love and death. "I'm mumbling this; I'm not explaining anything," he said. hough these ima11es don 't regiSter on a cogrutave level, our brains P.,n:eive them and they affect our behavior, he argues - sometimes to boots of deri· sion, sometimes to the agreeing nods of believers. Key is the author of the best-sellers Subliminal Seduc· tion, Media Sexploitatio n, and The Clam Plate Orgy. Last week at U B, he gave a talk ealled "The Subliminal Dimension." It was sponsored by the undergraduate Student Association and attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd · in 170 Fillmore. Key began by warning the audience that they might fmd the slides be was about to show to be salacious. There was no reaction until he explained that .. salaciousn means "pornographic" or "obscene." A portion of the audience responded with appleuse. He obviou·sJy had their at~lion: K ey didn' disappoint them. He showed slides of a Betty Crocker cake ad in which be sees female genitalia sculpted in the chocolate frosting. Key claims he took the ad to a medieal school and was told that the depiction was so accurate, it could be used in a text book. He showed several examples of what be claimed were pictures embedded in the shadows of icc cubes in liquor ads, mostly pictures of penises and scream· ing faces. One of the more detailed scenes was in an ad for Chivas Regal. Key described it as a woman perform· ing fellatio on a bishop or pope, with Jesus Christ looking on from an adja· cen t side of the cube _ An entire orgy is contained in a Howard Johnson ·s advertisement for its clam dinner, Key contends. The clams on the plate form the picture of eight people and a donkey. Or at least that's what he sees. That discovery gave him the title for one of his books. These ,subliminal images arcn' con· fined to ads, Key said. For the people who stayed after the initial two hours of his talk, he pointed out what be claimed is the word "sex" in Lincoln's beard on the S5 bill. Key's contention is that these pictures arc there and that you perceive them in a split second even though you may not consciously recognize all of them. "Perception tends to be instantaneous and total," be said. But there seeins to be some sort of editing process that lets only bits and pieces be perceived at the cognitive level. "That was already in your head the moment you looked at the picture," Key said after one example. "I just brought it up to the cognitive level." hat you don' know can W you, Key argued. "It's changing the way you t's plausible to believe that sexually titillating images might entice someone to buy a product, but why use offensive images, members of the audience asked. For instance, Key claims that Clairol put a depiction of child molestation in a hair coloring ad. The ad might look like a mother tickling her seven-year-old daughter, but Key sees the mother lifting the girl's dress with one hand, and doing whoknows-what with the other, while the ad asks, "Does she or docsn' she? She · still docs!" And what about those skulls and screaming faces be says arc so prevalent in liquor ads? Why would images of death make anyone buy a product? We can measure buying behavior, and these subliminal messages do induce people to buy, Key retorted. But we don' know why because we don' know how the brain works, be said by '!'ay of an out. It could be that we have a death wish, an idea expressed by philosophers Thomas Hobbes and Erich Fromm, be said. Or it could be that these images make the products more taboo. Repro- I duction and death arc: two common denominators among people: who are: under a hypnotic trance, said Key, who Picasso's 'The Dream ': salacious? hurt perceive the world ," be said. "S 103 billion worth of this stuff was pumped into your brain last year. It registers in your brain and stays in your brain for a lifetime. M(Advertisers) know a good deal more about why you drink and smoke than you do. Maybe you should catch up." Couldn' it be that these images arc placed in ads by bored artists who arc tired of the painstaking process of painung cake crumbs one by one? No, Key answered, you rarely fmd symbols of death in food ads, but they arc found in ads for tobacco, alcohol, and motoreycles. Tbcrc's a pattern; it's bot done indiscriminatcly. Couldo' it be that it's simply a matter of interpretation, like seeing pictures in OuiTy clouds? "As far as I know, Madison Avenue iso' working up there," said Key in the beginning ofa r;ambliog answer. MTbose ~!early not clams," be contended, referring to the ad where he saw an orgy. MCiarns don' look like thaL And if you sec icc cubes (in liquor ads), you're making them up. ...We have: an actor in the White Rouse. He's a master of deception." Anybody who looks that honest has got to be a liar, he implied. hen Key advised students to think about what i.s nor discussed in tbeir classes because it's often far more interesting than what is discussed . Key's books, be said, arc often not discussed because they're not mainstream enough. "Socrates got hemlocked for questioning religious symbolism in his time, Key concluded in answer to the clouds question. Key bad shown an ad for gold that was out of focus , featured two figures of unclear gender, and pictured something that could have been a necklace or belt, but wasn' clear. But if you turn the ad upside down Key said, its meaning becomes appar: ent. It could JMrhaps have been a view of part of a nud<;. female figure. "Explain," someone in the audience called out, but Key perhaps did not hear and simply moved on to the next slide. These subliminal techniques arc not confined to ads, Key says. He showed a slide of an April, 1986, cover of TIME magazine featuring a painting of T 7'1 •See-.poge15 lurking within seemingly innocent advertisements for chocolate cake and icy drinks are subversive images of child molestation,,genitalia, skulls, and screaming faces, claims ._Wilson Bryan Key.

Ms HollySeeger ol the he 6000 member Graduate Student Association. second largest student constituency on campus. represents a potent political force dedicated to the role of advocacy in maners pertaining to graduate students. Every graduate student is encouraged to participate. whether locally within his or her departmental club. worl<ing on one of the many special GSA projects and committees, or participating in the deliberations of the GSA Senate. Similar to other student governments. GSA administers the student activrty lee and serves as the representat ive of the graduate student population. It is the way in which these duties are handled, however. which g ives GSA ~s unique and responsible character. While every graduate student is a GSA member by virt ue of enrollment. the powers ol the GSA are vested in a collective body of departmental representatives known as the Sena e . ] hese representat ives are elected by local cfepa rtmental elections - the number of representatives are based on departmental enrollment. The Senate. in turn. elects a lour-member Executive Comminee consisting ol the President. the Vice President for Internal Affa irs. the Vice President lor External Affairs. and the Treasurer. The Senate has almost complete control over all GSA affairs, although tradrtionally the Senate has had an excellent rapport with the Executive Committee and routinely allows the Executive Committee to act on its own volition. Thus. wh1le remaining fully accountable to the Senate. the Executive Committee can concent rate on the dayto -day affairs and issues affecling graduate student lite without hindrance from internal poli~cs. Historically, the Senate meets at least once a month dunng the academ1c year. usually on Wednesday even.ngs. In spec181 cases. the Senate wlll also convene dunng !he summer sess1ons A typ1cal meeting lasts approx•mately two hours ....,..a•• The broad range of academ1c disciplines from which the Senate is drawn generates a political perspective distinct to the GSA. In contrast to many of the other student governments. GSA addresses 1ssues such as the arms ra ce. foreign policy, and human rights. Such actions acknowledge the ram~ications the real pol ~ical world can have on an education as well as the responsibilrty that GSA. as a body of thinking, caring humans. has to help make this world a bener place. Among resolutions the GSA Senate has passed in recent academic years include: a demand that SUNY divest of any holdings with interests in South Africa; a condemnation of discriminatory acts by area nightclubs. bars, and restaurants; and a demand that President Sample reluse to accept any grants or contributions of money or equipment earmarl<ed for "Star Wars" research. ...... rt GSA is only as effective as graduate students are involved - happily, however. a diverse organization sucl)...as GSA offers opportunrties tor a broad range ol interests. Undoubtedly, the easiest participatory route is via the Senate - all meetings are open and all graduate students enjoy privileges of the floor. Every department has at least one voting Senator and two aHemates, so that opportunities exist within each department lor students to run for voting positions. Serving on the Executive Cornminee requires only a dedication to long hours spent advocating graduate student rights and transmitting the best interests ol graduate students to the Universrty administration. Outside of the formal aeliberative branch, GSA initiates committees to investigate special issues. These committees are chaired by a member of the Executive Comminee and are open to any graduate student In order to better serve the needs of tradrtionally underrepresented students, three Student Coordinator positions have been established The Continued on neld- ._a �tnternatronal Student Co-ord~na t or .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

D program �NOYember 5, 1987 Volume 19, No. 9 Students, faculty air views on campus issues By CLARE O'SHEA hould students be metcrmaids and metcrmen? The proposal to hire st udents to hand out parking tickets on ca mpus was among iss ues discussed lasl week at the first annual JOin l tudent-faculty government meettng hosted by the: Faculty Senate Executive CommJtttt Other ISSues covered dunng the meet mg mcludcd SC ATF. the Undcrgradu· ate l nillative . the physacal education requirement . and the Undergraduate College. Hiring st uden ts to wnte llcket.!i fo r parking infractions, now a fuqchon of Public Safety officers, could be a pO>J· rive learning experience. said Walter Sarjeant of Electrical and Computer Engineering. ... Tbere's no ed uca tional com ponent to handing out tickets, sai~ Ken Gage . the non-voti ng student member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. "I behcvc there's a big diiTcrcncc in work stud y (jobs) and giving out tickets." .. There's an educational component in any job," said Edward W. Doty, vice president for finance and management. These students would not be hired wtlh work study funds . however. he stres~ : they would be empl oyees o f th< University . .. This is a n educatio nal in5titutl0n and one of ou r functions is to presen t as much employment o pponunily as possible for as many students." Dot y said . "If students don' want to be employed, they don' have to." Granting a law enforcement power to a student can be potentially dangerous. several students and faculty noted. "I think it's absolutel y outrageous." said Bob Chato v of Management. .. The not ion th at so meo ne would delegate a police duty to students is absurd." "We have to consider the safety fac· tor," Gage sajd . ..There have been inci· dents of Public Safety officers being hit. If a st udent sees anot her student writing a ticket, some people may lake advantage of the situation.Hiring st udents lo perform a Pubhc Safely officer function but paying them leu for the job takes advantage of students, several faculty and st ud ents satd . It's cheap labor. There are many students on campus working alongside union employees and gelling paid less than the ir counter· parts, one faculty member pointed out . Doty noted there are nol enough Public Safely officers and thai training students lo take over lbc ticket-writing would not be depriving union members of jobs. And the money saved by hiring a student would be used in pan lo increase evening pa trols of Pub lic Safety officers. "If you employ students during the day, il frees up Public Safety officers for the evening," Dol y said . S CATE, the student -run system of teacher and course evaluation. was also discussed . Th is year. funding for SCA TE was not included in th< under· graduate Student Association budget. said Amy Hcnnisc h. SA treas urer. because S CA TE was determined ineffective. SA is now attempting to fi nd ways lo make SCA TE mo re va lua ble to students in choosi ng courses a nd to faculty in improving their teaching. Gage noted . SCATE suffers a lack of credi bilitv. several facult y members agreed . In o~c course he taught, Dennis Malone of Electrical and Computer Engineering said, st udents filling oul lhc SCA TE form concluded that the course's lab was not ver y well-equ ipped . That course bad no lab, Malone said. Another faculty member pointed to one SCATE evaluation in which students gave conflicting replies to the question: " Did the teacher hand out a course syllabus at the beginning of the semester?" S Oswaldo Mestre of SA makes point at Faculty Senate session .

Dorm rates here may increase even more than 4 per ~nt because U B is one of several campuses that gets a special subsidy which may be eliminated, said William H. Anslow. vice chancellor for finan~ and business and direcJ. o r of budgets. Campuses have n't. set their rates yet, he noted . For rehabi litation of the dormitories. the trustees asked the State for an increase of S3 mill ion, to a total of S8 million. T An alternat ive plan would be to raise S60 million in bond money and pay it back over 10 years, Anslow explained . However. that plan was rejected because it would increase room rates by S200 per bed . (The average rate now is about S I, 760 for a standard double.) "That would be a very high rate co mpared to what students pay at ot her un iversi ties ... he noted. n general. SUNY d ormitories are striving for self-sufficie ncy to charge students exactly what it costs to maintain the room . That includes th ings like utilities, salaries for cust odians and resident a3Sistants. and a percentage of the costs of the Public Safety DepanmenL But the room fees also includ e pa yme nt s for ''debt I service ... Anslow said SUNY doesn' wan! additional debt service fees from the dorm rehabilitation to be tacked onto the bills of current students. There was alread y a backlog of needed repairs when the University moved to the selfsufficie ncy syste m, Anslow said , and st udents in the next few years sho uldn't pay all of the cost. Th< dorms are being preserved for the long hau l and the State has the responsibility 10 maintain them in good cond it ion. he noted he trustees asked for a total budget of about S 1.4 billion, an increase of T 11 .4 per ce nt. U B would recetve the la rgest portion of that. about $202 .6 million . which ts an increase of 12 per et:nt.

SAMPLE State University of New York at Buffalo October 29, 1987 T his fall the University of Buffalo celebrates its 25th anniversary as part of the State University of New York system. It is a propitious time for us to reflect on the changes that have occurred at this University ,over the past quarter century, and to take stock of our future. What are the basic differences between the medium-sized private university UB used to be, and the' comprehensive public research university it is today? Let me begin this sixth State of the University address by reviewing a few comparative statistics. In the fall of 1962 UB had just over 600 full-time faculty members; this fall there ace over 1,500 - two and a half times as many. During this same period the number of undergraduate students has increased by nearly 50%. from just under 13,000 to just under 19,000; and the number of graduate students bas almost tripled, from roughly 3,000 to neacly 9,000. That's an 80% increase in the total number of students enrolled, and a fundamental change in the composition of the student body - from one in which graduate students made up Jess than one-futb of the whole, to one in which they make up aJm.ost one-third. Twenty-live years ago UB awacded under 900 bachelor's degrees; this past year we awacded neacly 3,000 - well over a threefold increase. The rate at which we awacd Ph.D. degrees has increased over sevenfold - from 37 in 1962.{;3, to 247 last yeac. Over the past 25 years UB has added 60 new degree programs and ~eated entirely new faculties or schools 10 Infonnauon and Library Studies, Health Related Professions . and Architecture and Environmental Design. Faculty salaries at UB have improved dramatically in constant-dollar terms over the past 25 yeacs. Thanks to enormous acnounts of state support, the University today boasts an entirely new campus with 85 new buildings. The number of volumes in the universit y libraries has grown more than fivefold - from less than half a miUion in 1962 to almost two and a half million today; and the number of subscriptions to scientific journals and other periodicals bas increased by a factor of ten. The dramatic increase in the size and comprehensiveness of UB has been accompanied by an equally dramallc increase in the resources necessary to support that growth. UB's state operating budl!et in 1962 was slightly over S20 million, including grants and student aid; this year our state purpose budget alone is over S200 million. Individually these ligures tell us of enormous growth in 25 years; but taken together, they suggest that the difference between a medium-sized private university and a large public research university is not just one of size, or quantity, but rather it is one of species. UB today is a fundamenlally different kind of university from what it was a quacter century ago. This difference is underscored when we review some of our more notable achievements of the past year. - 0 ne of the goals I identifted in my fu-st stale of the univenity addraa wu to ltfeD&lhen botb the reality and the perception of SUNY-Buffalo as a major research un iversity of national repute. As you well know, I ha; e placed significant emphasis on increasmg the level of external funds for sponsored programs as one measure of our standing among major research universities. I am pleased to report that expenditures for externallyfunded organized research and sponsored progracns conducted under the auspices of our full-time and affiliated faculty reached a total of mon: than $72 million in 1986-87 - a record for SUNY-Buffalo, and a dramatic increase of neacly 20% over the preceding year. Although this record still leaves us with a great deal of unrealized potential. and much more work to do. it is a clear indication that we a~ beginning to join the ranks of America's leading universities in the area of sponsored research. Most encouraging among the awarcls received last yeac was the $25 million National Science Foundation grant for the establishment of the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research at SUNY-Buffalo. This award, which U B won in direct competition with a consortium of west coast universities headed by Cal Berkeley, will be matched by still another $25 million from the State and other sources. Another major grant, funded by the National Institute of Dental Research, will l'rovide S8 million toward the estabh•hment of a Denlal Research Institute in Oral Biology in the School of Dental Medicine. The State of New York bas given UB $5 million for the creation of an Institute on Superconductivity and another Sl miUion to establish a statewide Center for Ha.zardous Waste Management. Finally, to mention just one more example, a National Institutes of Health grant of S4.7 million will suppon research on AIDS in the Center for Applied Molecular Biology and Immunology located in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. These are just the highlights of last year's activit y in sponsored programs. What they make clear is that our earlier efforts to increase substantially the level of external funding are bearing fruit. S6me of the organized research centers created from internal reso urces during the 1984-85 academic yeac are produci ng interdisciplinary research pro posals which are attracting very substantial outside funding. Funbermore, new su pport arrangements - i!l particular, the administrative reorganization which created the Office of S ponsored Programs - are making all aspects of the grant-seeking process easier and more effective for o ur faculty. In this last connection, it gi-.es me very creat pleasure to note the appointment of Dr. Dale Landi u Vice PraicleDt for Sponsored Propams. Dr. Land i comes to us from the Rand Corporation. where he was a Vice President. He has wide experience irt dealing with federal granting agencies, and in securing and administering grants and contracts. He succeeds Dr. Ronald Stein. who did yeoman service as Interim Vice President for Sponsored Programs in successfully launching the new Offi<X of Sponsored Programs, and who is now st:rving in yet another new office as Vice President for Univenity Relations. We are most fonunate to have both Dr. Landi and Dr. Stein in these imponant positions. On top of being a record year for eXIemal funding, 1986-87 also saw the beg.nning of the SUNY-wide Graduate Research Initiative (GRl). Early results tend to confirm the high hopes which most of us had for the GRI when it was first conceived. As all of you are aware. the GRI calls for the add ition of S84 million to SUNY's base budget over the next five years to strengthen graduate education and research throughout the System. Some $29 million of this amount IS targeted for SUNY-Buffalo to suppon additional faculty, staff, graduate assistants. and research equipment . By the end of the spring legislative session, the Governor and Legislature bad provided more than 80% of our ftrst-yeac's request for GRI funding. Even though these funds were not officially committed until the last month of the academic yeac. they enabled us to make eleven new senior faculty appointments. What was critical in recruiting many of these outstandmg new faculty , some of whom came with hundreds of thousands of dollars of grants in hand , was our ability to oullit and rehabilitate space for the establishment of their reseacch laboratones . We were able to put $350,000 of G Rl money into yet another chronically underfunded area - the libtanes . Another S340 ,000 of GRI funds enabled us to make a leveraged purchase of computer-aided design equipment worth S700,000 - equipment which will benefit programs in engineering, architecture, and the acts. Assuming that the Governor and the Legislature provide the next four rounds of GRJ funding, we can expect to do even more to improve our programs in research and graduate education in the years ahead . While the GRI has given us the means to appoint established scholars to senior faculty positions, existing resources have enabled us to make several other very distinguished appointments. In paruculac, we have this yeac fllled two endowed chairs - the Carmichael Chair in Lbe School of Management and the McNulty Chair in the + "/ am pleased to report that expenditures for externallyfunded research and sponsored programs under the auspices of full-ti~ and affiliated faculty reached a total of more than $72 million in 1986-87.

Moreover, in December we will welcome to our ranks, Professor David Filvaroff in bis new role as Dean of our Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence. Jlrofessor Filvaroff will sucx:eed Professor Wade Newhouse, who has done an outstanding job as Dean of Law these past two years. - C ''We have created a more hospitable environment for minority students and a richer educational environment for all students by increasing the number ttf minority faculty and staff " losely linked to research is another goal I identified in 1982 - the expansion of our public service role in Western New York, especially with respect to revitalization of the economy of the area. Hen: again it is a pleasure to point out the achievements of the year just past. If the old University of Buffalo was pan of a great center of heavy industry and ship ping. the UB of the present and the future mus1 serve a post-industrial economy in which prosperity will depend on high technology, information processing, and the delivery of expert services based on new discoveries and new knowledge. To that end , U B has established several organizalions over the past few years aimed at giving area busmesses ae«ss to Universily research, encouraging technology transfer. and promoting joint research ventures. For example, the high technology inc ubator at 2211 Main Street, which is a coopt:rative venture between our University and the Western New York Technology Development Center, and which is now in its founb year'""of operation, has helped launch 18 new firms which together employ more than 100 people. We are nuw constructing a new incubator across the street from tbe North Campus on Sweet Home Road which will be four times as large as tb~ original incubator on Main Street. It is hoped that this new £acility will be completed and open by September of next year. I can n:pon similar progress in the Calspan-UB Research Center wbere total revenues more tba~ doubled between 1986 and 1987, and in the Health Can: Instruments and Devices Institute, which attracted more than $3 million this past year in industrial contracts and state matching funds . UB's extremely successful SEFA campaign last year, and our bostin& of tbe New York State Special Olympics in tbe •I!D'D'Cr, demonstrate that our public service role can take many forms, and that -the economic partnership between the University and the region is complex and many~ided . An exciting new dimension of that pannership was unveiled las'. week in the kickoff of UB's first capttal campaign since enteringthe SUNY syste"!. Chaired by a promtnent Buffalo bustness leader, Mr. onhrup R. Knox. the campaign aims to raise S52 million of endowment funds from alumni, local businesses, foundations, and friends of our University over the next five years. As the campaign case statement makes clear, endowment funds provide the margin of excellence that enables great universities to fiounsh . Perma~ nent endovmu~nts from prevtous years are already helping UB in imponant ways - witness the recent recruitment of outstanding scholars to two endowed chairs, as I noted earlier. Besides endowing faculty chairs. income from our present endowments is used to suppon graduate assistantships, operate the University Honors Program. fund research . anitiate ne\1, programs, and acquire additions to the library's rare book collections and the Un1versll) 's fledgling an collections. The S52 milhon which we hope "''II be generated by the capital campaign will provide extra<trdinary opportuni· ties to expand these efforts. For example, we hope to add at least 25 endowed chairs. at least 30 endowed graduate and postdoctoral fellowships . at least 50 undergraduate scholarships. and at least eight endowed professorshi ps in the undergraduate college. We also expect to add $3.5 million to suppon programming and special purchases for our new Fine Ans Center. which is due to open in 1992; S2 million for acquisitions and endowment for the poetry / ran: books collections in the l}B Libr.acy; and finally, m1lhon of. unrestricted . wment funds the mcome from which would allow us to take advantage of unexpected acaderruc opponunities. The challenge ts enormous, but so also lS the opponunity to help put UB tiJDOnj! the best public research universtiJ.es tn the country, and to continue to budd the econonuc pannersbip between UB and the Western New York communny. Tbts lS a campaign that I sun:. you will bear much about in ~ commg months. - A s we tum now to the other goals I set in 1982 - th goals of improving student recruitment" enhanctn)ltbe quality of undergraduat~ student life, and reaffirming the central- it)' of the arts and sciences to the University - we can once again call attrn. tion to some marked successe~o especially in student recruitment. How: ever, we can and must ackno .... ledge serious problems in these areas _ problems which can only be solved through the dedicaled and concened efforts of the entire faculty and staff of the Univenity. To the best of my knowled ge . there is no great research university wh1ch 15 not also known for excellence in '" undergraduate programs. Thus. as 1 tum to the subject of undergrad uat< life and undergraduate education.

Of tbe S 1.7 milhon allocated by SUNY to fund the Mtnvr· ity Graduate Fellowship Program. l'B bas rtteived over 25% of the total These funds have enabled us to grana 38 graduate fellowships to outstanding underrepresented manority gradual< students in all fields o f study. In add ition, UB rtteived $45,000 - nearl) 30% of the total - from the S UI\\" Empire State Minority Honors . cho· larshi p Program , which we hal< matched dollar for dollar from our ov.n resources. These funds have helped "' to recruit some of Lbe most acad tm l· cally-talented minority undergradu ate' in tbe State. Both of these new pro· grams an: important additio ns to our other weU<stablisbed and highly effective minority recruitment programs. We have also created a more hosp itable environment for minority students. and a richer educational environmenl for all students, by increasing the number of minority f..:uhy and staff at UB. This past year we added twelv< new tenured or tenure-track faculty memben, and made two major adm inistrative appointments, from underrepresented minority sroups. . To spea.k of efforts to recruit minonties is to be reminded of still another factor that dislinpishes SUNY-Buffalo from the UB of 25 yean ago. For ·~ addition to being l.arJ!er, more competitive, and more visibly prominent as a researeb center UB is also a less homogeneous and 'a less local institution than before. Substantial numbers of UB students oow co.m e not only from outside tbe Western New York an:a. but from outside tbe state and outside the coun!Jy.

The largeness and heterogeneity of U B, along with the vast array of availa ble ac ademic prog rams and cocurricular activi ties, present to us as faculty and administrators a formidable educational challenge. An undergraduate student, especially a new undergraduate student, may very well find this institution more difficult to adjust to than the old UB - m.9re difficult to understand and to feel at home in. This is why in 1982 we identified, as major goals. improving the quality of undergrad uate student life, and givi ng greater intellectual cohesion to the undergraduate curriculum by re<stablishi ng the arts and sciences as the core of the academic enterprise. I saw these two goals. and I see them still. as our best means for helping undergraduate stude nts to take advantage of the enormous intellectual and cultural weal th that we have to offer. - A n important factor in determining the quality of student life is the campus physical plant. During this past year the State University Construction Fund has given its full support to completing the essential complement of build ings on both the north and south campuses of SUNYBuffalo. We are now moving at full speed to plan, design, and construct the fi ne arts center and the natural sciences build ing on the north campus, and a new med ical research faci lity on the south campus. What is perhaps most exciting of all from an undergraduate point of view is the fact that we now have approval to move forward with the construction of both Phase II and Phase Ill of our student union building. The const ruction of a full-service student union on the new campus of S UNY-Buffalo has been a long tame in coming. It is fair to say that the a pproval of this building by the State is a direct result of cooperative effon s by the adminis tration. the students, the Council, and the Al umn i of this University. I believe last year's approval of our plan to upgrade our .•ntercollegtate athletics program to DIVISIOn I wtll prove, in time, to have been a maJor step in improvi ng undergraduate student life on th is campus. I am de lighted that we have been able to attract the athletic director of Florida A.lM University, Mr. elson Townsend , to guide the development of our athlettc program here at U B. It is also a very great pleasure to note the recent reorgan ization of the Division of Student Affairs, its relocation under the Office of the Provost. and the naming of Dr. Robert Palmer, who has been director of Special Programs for many years, as the new Vice Provost for Student Affa irs. Th is adm inistrative reo rga nizat ion affirms that academ ic affa irs and stud ent affairs are necessarily and inextricably linked· that improving the quality of undergraduate student Jif~ and improving the inteUectual cohestveness of the academic experience are parallel and mutually-supporting enterprises. All of these are important steps toward the broad goal of tmproving the overall undergraduate expenence at UB. Of all our acc omplishments , though surely the most important to date is 'the establishment of the Undergraduate CoUege and the resu.lts of t~e CoUege's first year of operation. It. IS here I believe that the most pressmg issu~ of unde;graduate life and undergraduate education are bemg addressed; it is here that the entire undergraduate experience can be thought of as a whole; it is here that large nu.mbers <?f dedicated faculty are accepung then rightful responsibility for determtmng the shape and substance of the undergraduate experience at UB. And II IS here, above all. that the undergradua.te curriculum is be1ng d1sc ussed m genuinely philosophical te~. and that the arts and sciences are bemg restored to their rightful place at the center of our undergraduate curriculum. • I was reading a book of Emerson's essays the other day on the plane. and I came across a passage in Th• American Scholar which seems particularly apropos to the subject at hand .

The emphasis of a coherent undergTaduate curriculum must surt:ly be on developing whole human beings. Even though our research programs produce basic knowledge for the benefit of everyone. and our economic development efforts help create jobs and wealth for Western ew York. and our graduate and professional degree programs furnish specialists and researchers to the world , it is through our undergraduate programs that we ha~ the greatest and most important effect on the de velopment of people. It is here thai fundamental human competencies. val~e~. and awarenesses are learned . And It 1s these competencies and values that our nearly th ree thousand baccalaureate gradu ates each year carry with . them into their homes and commumues. If we arc to do our jobs well. we must consider it a sacred trust to address o urselves to developing our undergraduates as whole human beings and nurturi ng their ind ividual talents. I am therefore particularly pleased that the senior members of the Underpa<~uate College chose to begin reformmg the undergraduate curriculum by introducing fres hman seminars, and that the interest of fac ulty me mbers fro m a ro und the Universi ty in teaching these seminars has been so great. More over, the senior me mbers of the College have begun to develop an underlying concept of the cum culum that encompasses a broad range of human competencies of the highest value: the ability to write and speak well, and read critically important works of literature and SCience, and to discuss these worlr.s intelligently; the abilit y to approach ideas not only skeptically and crit ically, but also 10 a manner that is imaginative and ir..tegra· tive; the ability to find relevar.t :nformation that improves one's unc' ·rstand ing of an iss ue ; a sensi t i =ty ~o questions of value, an~ a f~c , ty 10 dealing with them; an mquiS tll .: and open-minded intellectual style, ·'• d a sense of self and self<steem th < enables a student to take on genuine J.ltellectual challenges. No freshman seminar. and no set of core courses, can, in and of themselves. instill these competencies in our students. -But certainly the development of the whole person is a fwe tdeal for wh ich to strive when constructing the curriculum. And in my judgment it is good for the University that we are beginning to develop courses which are conceived in terms of this ideal . It is, I believe, enormously valuable for freshman students to have contact with senior faculty in small group settings, in which the professor is personally accessible and the class is based on close, intense exchanges of ideas. I can imagine no better way to give new undergraduates a feel for what higher learning is all about. I am also very excited by the planning now going on for new common experience courses, especially the proposed courses in World Civilization . Such courses will bring undergraduates from a variety of disciplines together to study a wide range of topics of im portance to all educated people. In so doing. these courses will constitute a significant innovation in the education of undergraduates in a research univer· sity. Students in the arts and sciences, engioeerin~ architecture . management , and nursing will all part ici pate in the ~veral parts of a common curriculum. This is a very exciting concept, and , if implemented successfully , ma y well serve as a model for other {•search universities around t~ country. There is an exhilarating boldness to what we are doing. While undergraduate education is being discussed everywher( in this country, the University at Buffalo is taking positive steps toward reformation . We have good reason to be optimistic, for in addition to the curricular developments alread y achieved and in progress, we have in the under· graduate college itself an excellent organization for proposing and carry· ing out further changes in the undergraduate curriculum and undergraduate services. To provide leadership for these efforts, we recently appointed a new Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Dr. John Thorpe , who comes to us from lhc Mathematics Department at Stony Brook and from 1he Educational Programs Offi~ of the NatJonal cience F ounda tio n . Dr Thorpe bnngs with him the energy and enthusias m of an outstandmg semor fac ult y member who has chosen to join us becau~ he is excited about what we are doing. He succeeds Dr. James Bunn . who provided three years of tmagmative. pioneering leadership for undergraduate education on this campus. and who has returned to full-t ime teachmg and research in the English Department. - T here are still other re~ons for us to fee l optimistic about the prospects of undergraduate education at UB. Last year, for example. we received a major grant from the Lilly En< .. wme nt which has enabled us to staff r.n Office of Teaching Effectiveness and to support a set of fac ulty development projects. As a result. etght junior faculty members are now developing new courses or course modtfi~­ tio ns wi th gran t support from thts source. There may be an even mo re substantial reso urce for improvilla .undergrad uate education in the of!Jng - namely, the SUNY-wide Undergraduate Initiative, which, if it recei ves the full support of the Governor and the Legisla' ture, will add $ 1.7 million to UB's 1988-89 budget for undergraduate programs. This new Initiative will fund not only further curriculum development , but also a variety of critical imp rovements in· ad visi ng and co unseling. Like the Graduate Research Initiative, the Undergraduate Initiative is intended to add funds incrementally to the University's base budget over a peri od of five years, and will therefo re constitute a permanent improvement in the resources available fo r undergraduate programs. M o re.over, by mak ing t he improvement of undergraduate education a matte r of state-wide policy and co ncern , the S UNY Undergraduate .. "Of all our accomplishments, surely the most important is the establishment of the new Undergraduate College and the results of the Colleges first year of operations. H ere, the most pressing issues of undergraduate life and undergraduate education are being addressed. " �Nowember 5, 1117 vcm-tt,No.t Sample's speech · From page 7 Initiative will provic:k imponant moral and political support for our efforts. It is a moment, then, to continue to muster our energies and our vision. If we have been bold so far, I hope we will continue to be even more bold as we proceed. We must continue with our planning for a World Civilization course, for it is within the humanities that we have our best opportunity to develop curriculum for all students. However. we must plan with equal urgency for the scientific education of every one of our undergraduate students. An education simply in the humanities is as narrow as an education simply in science or technology. I am especially pleased that some of our science facully members are now hard at work devising required science courses for non-majors. It is not the same kind of work as planning a common curriculum ia 1he humanities, beeause scientific knowledge is more hierarchical and therefore less accessible to non-specialists. Thus. the science planning group may encounter special difficullies whtcb will have to be confronted wi1h patience: and imagination. We must also continue to be bold in defining what we take to be: the cen1er and essentf! of an undergraduate educa~ lion . I believe there are two indisl\ensable components of that center: English and mathematics. with English by far the most imponant of the two. In my opinion, no American is truly educated who is not a fluent writer and speaker of English, and a critical reader of English literature. It is through our native tongue and literature that we have primary access to history, culture, and the world of ideas. Similarly, I believe that no one living in the last part of the 20th century can be considered truly educated who does not understand mathematics at least to the level of basic continuous and discrete calculus. The world divides between those who are literate in calculus and those who are not, and most of science and technology is simply inacx:essible to people in the latter category. I wonder if we are bold enough to say that every one of our students should attain literacy in both English and mathematics during an undergraduate career at SUNY-Buffalo. I wonder, too, if we are bold enough to confront the appalling provincialism of American society with respect to foreign languages. We are, I believe, the only major nation in the world in which a person can be considered welleducated without being reasonably competent in at least one foreign language. Even within my own profession of engineering, this is the case: foreigneducated engineers aJmosl invariably know at least one language in addi1ion to their native tongue. and American engineers almost as invariably are conversant with no language other than English . Do we have the courage to confront this shor1coming across the board, and require foreign language competency of our students t~~tve of their major7 And are we willing to consider the possibility that the three foreign languages of primary interest to Americans in the 21st century may well be Spanish. Chinese. and Japanese. • I n the final analysis. undergraduate educalton is . not primarily professional or vocatiOnal training, but rather the •ducation of students whose primary need is to develop their many-Uiedness as human beings. Such an education is also. I believe. the best preparation for professional training. Most of us as faculty can readily understand and accept this basic point. But it is incumbent on us to do a much better job of conveying this idea to our studenu and to their parents. The students who come here are extraordinarily able - intelligent. talented. ambitious. and willing to work hard at gaining an education. We have a primary obligation to encourage them to complete their baccalaureate degrees here. Ut!fortunately. a large number of our students arrive with very narrow professional goals; and many of these drop out when thcir original enthusiasm for a panicular profession begins to wane. We must reassure these students, and th6r parents, that it is perfectly normal for undergraduates to change their major once or twice during their college careers: and that the most imponant goal of any undergraduate program is tbe attainment of a broad liberal educ.ttion. not the successful completion of a given professional curriculum. As we proceed to revamp and refine our undergraduate program, we must always keep in mind the fa<:t that we are, first and foremost, a large compre. heosive research univenity. We cannot and should not try to emulate undergraduate programs found in small pnvate colleges, or in the SU Y arts and scienca colleges. We need to develop an undergraduate program that takes advantage of the enormous intellectual resoui'ces available on this campus. and that places those resources within the grasp of every undergraduate student. This University has madc great demands on its fiiCUlty in the last fe" years, and the faculty have responded with extraordinary energy and enthUSI· asm. We have moved ahead aggressively in scbolanhip and research. 10 sponsored programs , in econom 1c development, in student recruument. and in the creation of an outstand 1ng undergraduate honors program. \ o" we face the challenge of developtng. 10 the context of a research universlt~ , dn exciting. stimulating, and intellectual!\ coherent educational program for all "' our !8,000 undergraduates.

Soccer Royals end season in style, are snubbed by ECAC D By FRANK BAKER espite winning eight of their last 10 games, UB's women 's soccer team was given the bad news on Mondav. Their dream of receiving an a1-largi bid 10 this year's Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) tournament has been denied. \ However. Coach Ron Case was nol overly surprised by the decision and took it with resW.ation. "I knew we had only a slight chance of making it." he said. "We've done very well this year considering our schedule was much harder than last year's." The reason for the added difficulty of this season's schedule was that the University's upgrade of athletics was put on hold. As was the story with most of UB's teams, the soccer Royals found themselves in a pinch because of the halt. Instead of being classified as a Division l t team th is year - as was to have been the case - the Royals stayed ln Divisio n Ill. but were not allowed to participate in the State Universi ty of New York Athletic Conference (SUNY AC). That, coupled with a schedule which had been made for the team prior to the halt in upgrading and included many difficult opponents . could have spelled disaster for the team It didn, . R ather, much to the liking of Case, the team has come together and played its best soccer during the closing weeks of tbe season. In fact , it finished 10-5-3 for the season and 8-l-l over the last ten games of the year. The two non-vi.ctories were at the hands of Division I Colgate (a l~ loss) and Division II LeMoyne (a l-1 tie). "We're really beginning to play well now," noted Case. " In the last three games (victories over St. John Fisher. Buffalo State, and iagara) we came together as a team and played very '\ well." Those victories have Case opttmJsuc about the future. .. , thmk the team IS about "'here we: want to be .. in terms of gcnmg read y for the upgrade. he satd. "We want to increase the program to the point where we can meet o ur goal of being a consistently good team ... Surprisingly enough. Case satd he felt the team took a major step in that direction not in v~tory, but in their 3-0 loss to the University of Rochester. "Even though we lost. that was probably our best g•me ... he satd .. Rochester is a former national champion and is JUS! a great program . They have All-Americans sitting on the1r bench. We lost. but they had to earn their goals and we played a great allaround game." I n that game, as well as in almost every other contest, Case said the team displayed the asset which has been the key to their success· defense Over the course of an 18:game schedule, it is not unusual for a team to give up 40 or 50 goals and still be successful. This year's Royals surrendered a grand total of 18. .. That's pretty good ... Case said matter-of-factly. Those numbers become even more impressive when one considers that the team gave ~p four goals in one game and three m 1wo others. So. in the other 15 games, the Royals allowed just etght goals. Who's responsible for that fantastic statistic? ; The whole team. said Case. H owever, whtn pressed, the coach satd the stand o uts included CCK:aptains Lynne Fernandes and Anne Metzger, full backs Dawn Phiups, Usa Siegel, Sue JS•efer, Shelly Lauco, and Linda Pod btelskt; s topp er Sheri Okun; sweeper Coco O'Do nnell, and freshman goalkeeper Beckey Harvey. ase singled out Metzger, O'DonC nell, and Harvey for special praise. "Anne (Metzger) has played very well since she moved from sweeper to midfield ," he said . "Her play has really helped the team. ... Coco has also done a very good JOb since taking over for Anne at sweeper ... Case added . "She 's just a freshman. so she11 be solid back there for a while." And then comes Harvey. who. as a freshman . has not only earned herself the startmg posiuon in goal. but bas also set a UB record for shutouts in a season with seven . "Beckey is very talented and has come through quite well for us." said Case. But , he stressed . "she had a very strong defense around her, so she wasn' tested too much ... However. when she was. Ha~y -made some outstanding saves.- !though this year's team didn't A . fare as well as last year's SU YAC Western Division .cba mr 14-'-~ •n team, Case nevenbeless sees a bnl!h1 future for his youthful hooters 1f the• ftnd a scoring threat. 1 ...

Above: An overall view of the merriment HSL introduces computerized bibliographic service By CLARE O 'SHEA A s of today, accessi ng health scie nce infonnation has become a whole lot easier. The Health Sciences Library ( HSL) has put into operation a computerized system that makes up-to-date bibliographic information on biomedical journals and periodicals just a password away. MiniMEDLINE is "the first online end-user bibl iog raph ic information retrieval system availa ble for faculty and students at this Unive rsity," according to C.K . Huang, direct or of the HSL. That means users can now conduct their own searches, without the help of a librarian, on a subset of the MEDLINE database of the National Library of Medici ne ( LM ). This subset consists of citations for about 500 HSLowned journals selected by UB Health Sciences faculty as the most frequentl y used references in their fields. The system accesses information that has been published in the current and th ree preced ing years. The~ are seven terminals set up on the first n oo r of HSL and one in the Science and Engineering Library. In addition, dial-up access is available at the US-affiliated teaching hospitals via the DCA network of University Com- puling Services. With a PC, modem, and communications software, plus the proper password. users can even conduel searches from the ir own homes or offices. MiniMEDLINE is available to UB students, faculty. and staff with current J.D. and a password, which can be obtai ned through the ind ivi d~l Health Sciences depanments . The system ts free of charge and it's easy to learn. "We are going to give some bnef orientat ions,- said Huang. .. but mintM EDLINE is a high ly user-friendly system. You 11 be able to use it in ten to 15 minutes.An orientat ion to mmiMEDLI E will be held today at 2 p.m.: su bsequent orientations are sc heduled for Tuesdays at 2 p.m. and Fridays at 10 a.m. Paper user guides to miniMEDLINE. along with a list of journal titles included in the system, are provided at each terminal. HSL staff will also be available to help, if necessary. Health Sciences faculty and studen ts are probabl y already familiar with miniMEDLI 'E's parent. MEDLIN E. the largest and most frequently used database of the NLM's computerized informat ion retrieval scr\'ices. MEDLINE. which accesses 3,000 U.S. and foreign journal s. co nta ins approximately 800,000 references to biomedical journa l article published over the past three years. (Cove rage of previous periods, back to 1966. is provided by backfiles searchable online that total more than three and a half million references.) If the anicJe incl udes an EngJish abstract , the abstract is often available on computer as well. B efore mtmMEDLINE h11 UB. a pre-med S1Udent faced with an assignment to come up with .SO citations for a term papc:r on the latest A IDS research had to make an ap poin tment with a librarian to conduct a search. He also co uld expect to invest a few dollars in the vOJturc , smce there is a charge for the usc of MEDLINE for more than 25 citations. Now, he c.an si t down at a terminal. without an appointment and without help, and in a matter of minutes have a whole bibliograrhy blink ing before him. Such a list o references can be butlt by using autho r. tnle word. journ al. or subject o pt ions . When the subjrct opt ion is used. the chosen te rm ts generally one of 14.000 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH ). an LM listing of medical terminology incl uded in its database. Paper co pies of the MeSH list are incl uded at all library terminals. Once an o pt ion is chosen. the list of references and abstracts is automatically listed tn alphabetical order by JOUrnal title. If a more comprehensive search is for instance. if the. student wanu to cbecl< references on AIDS research from four ytars ago. or needs tht nam~ of a journal nor included among the 500 selected by UB M ED Ll N E is still accessible through a librarian. According to Huang, however. miniMEDLINE should taie care of 80 per cent of all search needs. MiniMEDLINE was developed by Georgetown Universi ty's Medical Library and has been installed at 20 si tes across the cou ntry. To get miniM.EDLI:-JE rolling, UB bought a minicomputer. an o~ rat ing sys tem, Georg~town­ developed software, and a monthly su bscri pt ion to the NLM subset tapes. which con tain all the MEDLI E citations. Each month , HSL stall load the latest subset tapes into the computer, which reads the tapes and throws o ut those citations not incl uded on UB's 500 journal list. Installation of miniMEDLI E cost B about S 130.000; another $30,000 will be required to run the system each year. Huang estimated. " If you consider the thousands of people who will use this each year, the cost is minimal,- he added . "With the older service ( MEDLINE). we had about 8.000 searches conducted per year. I think we11 now have 40.000 to So.OOO searches per year.0 needed - Richard J.

First known as the High School Football News, the paper was established for the purpose of rec- ognirio g the achievements of studentathletes participating in interscholastic football and to provide additional exposure for the players and schools they represent. The success of the publication spread and plans are to include all hlgh school sports in its coverage. Despite a full schedule of sports serviec to tbe area, Gallagher fmds time to re)>Ort to his real profession, that of executive director of Alcoholism Services of Erie County, Joe. He earned the M.S.W. degree at UB in 1969. Reservations and ticket details are available at the Chamber offices, Amherst, 632.()()95, and Clarence, 6313888, as well as at the University, 6363414. Brunch , game, and package tickets are offered. 0 �Reflections On Southern Afric~ e hopped a jitney in the center of town and slowly made our way to the border post. Another Sunday in Maseru, Lesotho, and scores of people were making their weekly pilgrimage back into South Africa to work the mines, fields, and other trades that contribute to the backbone of the South African economy. Along the way the taxi would stop and people would pile in, like sardines in a can: Wrapped up in blankets, these people, mostly men, huddled together to protect themselves against another winter's night in June. Music, with its striking a cappeUa harmonieS, rang out over tinny speakers and the words of Sosotho flowed together, which for us were most difficult to pronounce. At the border, the trickle began that would eventuaUy swell into thousand s of people; with working papers and passports in hand , they proceeded in their highly routinized paces. One by one, in a matter-of-fact way, they would leave one country and enter another, some about to embark on long mining contracts that would take them far away from their families for a year or longer. Across the single-laned Maseru Bridge, one that carried human, beast, automobile, and diesel locomotive, each laborer would slowly disappear from sight. Our cameras clicked away to capture this event before the day's light faded . Lesotho, once a British protectorate and now a kingdom under military rule, gained its independence in 1966. One of the few countries in the world completely encompassed by a larger and more powerful nation - South Africa - Lesotho is highly dependent and influenced by the South African economy and its political situation. This dependency increases significantly when considering Lesotho's subsistence and self-sufficiency in terms of climate and topo!Vaphy. While the country is breathtaking for its stark beauty and sharp features, particularly the Maluti Mountain range., its soils provide little arable land for farming. Moreover, a strong seasonal temperate climate lends to hot summers and cold winters. Precipitation, most of it in the form of rain, falls during a shon period during the summer months; however. it is not unusual for snow to fall during the winter in the highlands. These conditions, along with a six-year drough t and heavy livestock overgrazing, have led to leached soil and to a 50 per cent reduction in crop production for the last seven years. What were the motives of this journey and why Lesotho? First, there was the invitation from a friend, former UB student and Mosotho (citizen of Leso- Outt pullUit • skd fuD of rod:s tJw wiD b. a..J f<N MOUitsml. tho) Michael Matsumunyane who, on a number of occasions over bec:r and wings in Buffalo, had extolled the graciousness of his people. Further, he believed that in order to truly gain some insight into the problems of the southern African region one must expe- rience it for him or herself. Secondly, for two anthropology graduate students who intended to do fieldwork, this would be a wonderful opportunity to experience a very different cultural atmosphere. Finally, this trip was to serve as a feasibility study for a possible dissertation topic concerning seasonal variations of food resources, disease load , and work activ- ity and their impact on the nutrition and health of women and their children in a developing country. brtildDtz • """ dUlrdt ill Ott ~~~of Lesotho, like other developing countries, is plagued by problems of ensuring a safe, quality food supply that is plentiful enough to provide nutritional adequacy for all its people. Furthermore, limited medical care and inadequate sanitation place the people at an increased risk of poor health. To compound these problems, a large contingency of the adult male population is away, working as migrant laborers. This places an additional burden on those who remain at home~ particularly on the women who must bear the brunt of tending the fields and maintaining the household . On the other haod, compared to other developing countries, Lesotho's nutritional problems are not as sev . Also, with tbe advent of a major construction project, "The Ylrw-ff---.I ...........

Anyway, with a lot of luck and some more grey hairs we finally_arrived at MokhoUong. That ntght we tndulged in strong South African beer and mutton and pappa (boiled com meal). The next day we hired a driver and made our way through some very rugged terrain to the village of M otsitseng. As we approached, the whine of the cng·ine aroused auention, and out of the doorways of thatched huts ran kids from all over the village. By the time we reached our destination the jeep was c?mJ?Ietely . surrounded by wide<yed, gtggltng chtldren. Their curiosity was everprescnt and wt wert to remain a novelty for most, if not all. of our time there. A chill began to set in as the sun disappeared behind the mountain peaks and the winds grew. Down from a prominence came Kokit.a Matsum unyane and his son Paulo. With the customary greeting of " lume//Q matt" (good-<lay sir; literally father), they welcomed us to their home. Our Scsoth_o was non<xistent, but we got by wtth Paulo acting as interpreter. The three of us spent the first night together hu~dled around . the dung fire sipping whiSkey and trymg Co understand one another. A cultural chasm existed between us. but as time went on the commonalities came through and our dtfferences became learntng experiences _ That night, the complete absence of light, excluding that of the Milky Way, and the sounds of distant chanting reminded us just how far away from home we were. T he ncxl morning we awoke lO the sound. of nearby bellows from cat- Highlands Water Scheme Project," and the htgh value placed on education (lesotho has one of the highest literacy ra tes in Africa), subsistence self· sufficiency is not an unrealistic goal for ttl< not too distant future. Through the years, a number of nutn 10n intervention programs have been put in place in Lesotho. These serve to provide both nutrition supplemen~3:hon and the dissemination of DU i ntlo~ education for women and thetr chtldren; the goal is to bring the populauon up to an adequate level of health for . self-sufficiency. However, wh tle nutnuon-related problems are not •••:ere, the success of these programs has_ been mmtmal; in fa~ in some rtgtons, maJnutrit..ion is on the rise. Our goal, then, was to set out and fi~d • . place where people are at-risk of nutntlonal deficiencies, to reside there I ;:mrl nAVIn TIIQI<'()N for a period of time, and to get to ltnow the people and some of their traditions. From all our talks with public health officials and other concerned individuals, it became clear that the mountains were the place to go. This was very opportune because Mike's family resided in the mountain region of Mokhotlong, in the village of Mot- sitseng, and we had intended to visit them. o , it was off to Mokhotlong along the Roof of Afnca Road which , by the way, was mort of a dirt path with steep inclines and no guard·rails. We were fortunate to get a ride with two people from the World Food Program . Ophelia, originally from the Philippines, was going up to make the rounds between villages with nutritionaJ guidance presentations. Joe- S tle bemg Jed down to their winter grazing pastures. The herd boys followed . whips in hand. ready to strike an y animal that should go astray. These animals are an essential pan of Basotho life. especially for men wh o~ wealth may be measured by the numbers and quality of their cattle_ Cattle permeate all aspects of life from the payment of "bride-price" to the early education of yo ung boys in the sctence of proper herding techmques. If a man is fortunate enough to avoid the life of a migrant laborer or if the mines don' eat him up, he may look forward to the day when his livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats) provide a large measure of his subsistcne%. There are two schools in Motsitseng and another across the dry river bed in the village of Halebopo, about 30 minutes away by foot along the sides of cliffs and passes, wbere tho~ who are not sure-footed ought not to venture. Each school has between 150 and 200 children and between I and 4 teachers. Despite this enormous student-toteacher ratio and the lack of supplies, it appears that the ltids acquire not only book knowledge, but also respect for one another and pride in their cultural heritage. At first, at least in our eyes, the lives of the people of Motsitsen& seemed filled with . a constant ba,ue of scraping out an CXlStenc:e on land that wu not that feni.le, extremely dry, and diflkult to get about on. Everyday life was filled with preparing food , pti~c!ing dung for hcallng and cooking fuel, herding animals, and searching out water. These activities could taltc the better part of a day, and required both phySical strength and critical thinking. For example, on a weekly basis, the Matsumunyancs would harness four oxen to a wood sled with a S~allnn drum, and go fetch water from a spring some 30 minutes away. Out of this tiny muddy water hole came all the drinking water for the ent ire vi llage, so each household had to conserve for everyone to surv1ve. ...Bc$pite these time~onsuming duties, the _lwes of these people are steeped in a ncb cultural tradition . and we were fortunate enough to be involved in one: of these events. Toward the end of our stay we were presented with a sheep by Paulo on behalf of his father. This animal was slaughtered, quite a visual event for two city boys, and distributed among the famil y. Little did we know that every part of the animal is eaten and that cenain parts, such as the head, are delicacies reserved for particular groups ( based on age and sex). Ln an attempt to play it safe, when asked about the part of the animal that we craved, we chose the ribs. Needless to say, with all our anthropological wisdom , we chose tbat part that ~ normally eaten by women and symbolic of nurturing (breast milk). Howcvcr, ·n o one ...,med very concerned. We relis hed in these ribs that were cooked in a dung fire and looked like something we would ea1 at home. But later. upon our return to Maseru , we were confro nted with the infam ous sheep's head . and, at least for a few moments. had to close o ur eyes . take a bite . and go native . We Oew f rom Mokhot lo ng to Maseru along with 10 miners and two sheep. After two long weeks of culturc shock, no showers. smokey dung fires, and too much mutton , we were: looking forward to the modem conveniences of the big city. It was only after a few minutes into the flight , as we descended through 'the mounta in passes, that we realized what we had accomplished. Althou$h we bad spent relatively little time wllb these people, we had transcended numerous cultural barriers, not without pitfalls, and established friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. ' I ack in Maseru, we began clearing up our business with the various ministries and started thinlting about what to do with our remaining two weeks.

"We made it with I00.4 per cent of our goal," said Bonnie Bullougb, dean of Nursing and chair of this year's drive. " I'm pleased that we did this well, "The last minute efforts this year resulted from the inaction of 'absentminded' profs who don't get to their mail real fast. Upcoming student event will up total." and I'm really pleased with the ongomg organization we have. We have de, elo ped a large group of people who ~now how to run a campaign and do it Y.el l. " i.J B has exceeded its goal of S4 10.000, which benefits primarily the l nited Way of Buffalo and Erie County. And that total is expeeted to be still higher following UB's " Play for the United Way: An All-Night Basket· ball/ Volleyball Marathon," to be held from 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in Alumni Arena. Sponsored by the Office of Student Life's Clifford Furnas Center for Leadership, the all-night event is open to UB students, faculty, and staff. Because this is the first year that st udents have held activities to benefit UB's SEFA cam paign, Bullough noted campaign orga nizers are pleased with the marathon's support . MWe're cou nt i ng on the all-night tourn a ment to raise our total even higher." she said . The: last minute efforts that were required to meet this year's SEFA goal, Bullough said. resulted from the inaction of the stereotypical absent-minded professors "who don' get to their mail real fast." As a result, the 1987 campaign was so mewhat of a last-ditch effort, with the success of the drive relying at least in part on those final contributions. "The stragglers reall y helped put us ove r the top," she said . The eleventh-hour effort also may be pointing to the face: of things to come. Wh ile over the past live years UB has been able to project - and exceed sizeable incrc:ases in its annual co ntribution to the United Way, Bullough said , that tendency ma y have topped .liiii'i ........ ................... ·~·· •u• ·-.......... .. ..... 1.- ·~--TOTAL ....... t4-- 688.00 UIG.T7 33 • 55.83051 642 6.338.44 eo t411.aa22 ,_ 1U It! ... n .t M.l ..... 17.7 11.7 Ul.2 110.4 ·A PfCJ!eCfiO() rather than a goal out. "I think th e day of our rapid rises is ov~r. and now we have to look at smaller. steady increases," she predicted . U B again was one of the recipients of the United Way's McFarland Cup, altho ugh this year in a more indirect role. The honor, awarded to the division that exceeds its renewable card value by the greatest percentage, was awarded to the Buffalo-area SEFA contributors, who also include institutions such as Buffalo State College. Gowanda Psychiatric Center, and Buffalo Psychiatric Center. UB's 1987 SEFA total stands at S411,899 .22, with 64 .9 per cent of em ployees - a total of 3,42& - contributing to the an nual d.rive. 0 Undergraduate education From Page 1 The Undergraduate Initiative will provide resources not only for further curriculum development, the President said, but also for critical improvements m counseling and advisement. Pending construction of a full service student union, the planned upgrading of the intercoUe$iate athletics program, an d the reorgaruzation of the D ivision of Student Affai.nl will contribute too to enriching undergraduate life, he added. But . he reiterated , the most im portant stride has been "establish· ment of the Undergraduate College and the r.esults of the College's first year of operations. • It is here, Sample said , '"that the most pressing issues of undergrad uate life and undergraduate educati On are being addres5ed ; it is here that I he entire undergraduate experience can be thought of as a whole; it is here that large numbers of dedicated faculty are accepting their rightful responsi bility for determining the shape and substance of the undergraduate expenence at U B. And it is here, above all, that the undergraduate curriculum is being discussed in genuinely philosophical terms, and that the arts and sc;tences are being restored to their rightful place at the center of our undergraduate cur· ric ulum." Improvements in the quality of stu· dent life and the return of arts and sciences to a central role in the Universi ty were among Sample's top prioriti.. when be took office here in 1982: In his speech, Sam,Pie looked, too, at pro~ in other pnority areas be enunaated for his administration. In termJ of streilgtbeniog research, he reported that "expenditures for externally-funded oraanized research and . 1po010red proarams co_nducted under the auspices of. our full-tune and affiliated faculty reached a total of more than $72 million in 19~7, " a 20 • per cent Ulcreue over tbe.. previous year. 1bc year also saw the ftnt •wave of funding from SUNY's Graduate and Research Initiative, he noted . ( For more on this, see accompanying story on the GRI report Sample presented to the Board of Trustees last week .) In the area of increased public ser· vices, the President pointed to the beginning of construction on the new mcubator facility across from the Amherst Campus, to progress .at the Calspan-UB research center, and to a S3 rrulbon bike in fundi ng for th e Health Care Instrumen ts and Devices Institute . Eig h teen new firms that toget he r employ more than 100 people have been spawned by the present tncubator ce nter at 2211 Main Street, Sample said. The Capital Campaign, the _President continued, represents .. an exc1tmg new dimension" in this econo mic partnershi p of the University and the region. The President also pointed to improvements in student recruitment in terms of both overall st udent quality and an increase in minority representation. At the graduate level, he noted, a major State program has resulted to over $400,000 for minority fellowships . "We have also created a more hospitable environment for minority stu- dents and a richer educationaJ environment for aJJ studenLS, by increasing the number of minority facult y and staff at UB, Sample said. In his speech, the President _also summarized the growth of the UnJVersity during its first decade as a member of the State Un iversity of New York systerr. The difference between the U B of touay and the institution of 1962 is "one of speeies" not just of size, the President noted. "UB today is a fundamentally different kind of universi ty," he said - "a comprehensive public research university" rather than a r.tedium-sized private one. 0 This c;omparison has been prepared by the Benems Administration Section of the Personnel Depattment.

Unexpectedly, and much to our del igh t, one of them told us we were welcome to use his VW beetle to go there. We gratefully a=pted. and began making plans. We invi ted Mike Matsumun yane to travel with us. He did not have to th ink twice before accepting. Mike was particularly excited abo ut the trip because we would be going through Durban. S.A., and he was sure he could fi nd a good used four-wheel-drive p ickup truck there. Mike had been looking fo r such a truck for over a year. They are a necessity in Lesotho for anyone who needs to travel outside the main towns. As noted earlier, the majority of the country is mountainous, and even main roads tend to be windinj:, poorly mainrained, and at times steep. Secondary roads can only be described as tracks. The net result is that four-wheel-<lri ve vehicles are highly sought after and seldom come up for sale. Traveling through South Africa with Mike turned out to be revealing. Mike, being all too familiar with the apartheid mind set and form of government, was very ill-at-<:ase about th is leg of the trip. Whenever we stopped (o r fuel or a snack it was clear he was very apprehensive about dealing with "the Boers .... His usual response upon stopping in a town would be to comment to the effect, "Well, let's see how apartheid is doing in this town ... As t ime went on, we began to see why. There is a myth perpetrated by Pretoria that blacks and whites may freely intermingle in restaurants, hotels, and the like. While this may be true in policy, in practice the situation is quite different. In fact, in the smaller towns and villages open segregation is unabashedly practiced at many levels. In the Orange Free State (the bastion of apartheid), most business establishments have two sets of rest rooms - one labeled simply men and women, the other labeled "nieblank" (non-white) men and Mnieblank" women. Incidentally, the non-white category includes people of Indian descent, as well as those of mixed ethnic origin. And, in the Orange Free State, Indians are prohibited from takin~ up residence, worlcing. or traveling wtthout a penrut. Mike to use the non-white facilities. Fortunately, we were in the Onulge Fn:e State only briefly, and never were contested on Mike's insistence on Oquality.· At one point, however, IC\'et1ll colored gas station attendants broke into laughter and applauded wbca be atorm.Cd into a .. men's" room . No Boers were present to witness his act of rebellion. mused W e arrived in Durban around ~ o'clock in the afternoon. Our ftnt order of busi ness was to find a place to spend the evenin~. Mike immediately took charge of thts task. He had us stop the car at an intersection where a black policeman was standing. He asked the officer where, in Durban, might he be able to secure lodging. We were directed to a short strip one block from the Indian Ocean. The hotels along this stri p were small and non-pretentious. We stopped at several, and Mike always ins1sted on goi ng in as we tried .to register. He did this, he said, to avoid any problems that might arise should we register and then show up with a black man. The hotels we stopped at were all full, and ~.!like once again took charge of the situation. He •topped a black woman who was wearing what appeared to be a maid's uniform, and asked her where we might get a room. She informed us that there was only one place in the area we might try, and so we did. The hotel was old, dirty, run down, and frequented by prostitutes. Several of the staff members were very drunk, and the "restaurant" served only alcohol. We registered and then set about our nex t order of business, getting dinner. We started to feel angry toward Mike as he rejected one restaurant after another. Typically, we would approach an es ta blishment and then look in the wi ndow only to see nothing but whi te diners. Mike kept insisting that we not go in. We. on the ot her hand. could not understand why. After all. we had been to ld that Durban was perhaps the most integrated and progressive of t he major South Afri can cities. Mike. however. insisted that he would most likely not be served in these restaurants. We ate a t a Wimpy's hamburger stand that night. This frustrated us Nf.EBLANK NONWHI .Tt "Mike refused to use the non-white or 'nieblank' rest rooms. Fortunately, we were never contested on his insistence on equality." mers, while greeting the whites with a smile and courteous servtcc. Further, when a black and a white both ordered the same item from the menu, the wh1te got a decidedly larger portion - so much so that. the storekeeper actually ke pt two d lflerc.Qt size con tainers 10 order to accomfu~ate. and perhaps make obvious, the preferred status of his white patro ns. Mike was quick to point all this out to us. Even though black s made up the majority of the clientele. he noted . they nonetheless were treated in a second class way. We could not he lp but s:nse his rage and frustration . .Back m the Mountain Kingdom, " whoch he spoke of with ever growing pride a nd longong, · Mike was a n equal among all men. In South Africa, by virtue of the color of his skin, he was a non-perso_n. a seco nd ·dass citizen who was remmded of it at every tum. These situations ace what Mike was avoiding in Durban. For while we may indeed have been served in many of the restaurants we considered enteri ng, we would not have been served as equals. And while we no doubt co uld have found a better hotel to stay in, the prospect of going through the humiliation of rejection, or bavtng to put up with insults and rude behavior, prompted him to work from the bottom up. Mike has never known us as anything but equals, and the hum iliation and pain he suffered in these situations we c~n not begin to imagine. T he humiliation blacks must live with in South Africa is in no way limited to their economic d ealings. In an earlier passing th rough the Orange Free State, we had stopped for gas and a bite to eat. In the parking lot were several older black men working und er the hood of a pickup truck. As a group of white school children on their way home p assed, severaJ of them began to taunt these men with insults. The men humbly ignored their verbal furt her becau.- we had been on the attackers, only to become the benefiroad all d ay, and were looking forward ciaries of a series of shin-kicks.

"But students don't want to bear it," perhaps because they feel immortal or don' think it's a threat to them. The low turnout at the symposium confirmed her remarks. ...There • eXist two epidemics," said Nicole Williams, a representative of the Western New York AIDS Program. The first is the spread of the Hrv virus itself, and the second is the spread of panic and ignoranee regarding AIDS. " People don't want to know or won' face the facts ," Williams noted . "Groups like gays and LV. drug users are marginalized - the mainstream comm un ity traditionally doesn't mind what ha ppens to them."

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He also announced the appointment of Margaret Daly, SA's 4lirec!9~ of women's affairs, to the Presidelif's Task Force on Personal Safety. Bader added that the Student Association of the State University (SASU) has made safety its priority for the year. There have been a series of attacks on students at Oswego and Stony Brook, he said. obert L. Palmer, vice provost for student affairs, said he wasn't sure why a press conference had been called. While he lauded students for their concern over safety, he noted that many of the issues brought up by Bader are already being addressed by the administration. There don' seem to be any l'ressing, critical safety iss ues. The creation of a new safety committee "is not newsworthy," Palmer said . "It's not a camera-rolling type of issue." R B ader said that he wants to be .. proactive" and work with the administration before a serious problem occurs. He acknowledged that in the case of Sohn, the missing student, it's possible,. that there hasn' been foul play. Public Safety Inspector Daniel Jay confirmed that she disappeared from New York City once before and .was found a few weeks later in Korea. But maybe she didn' leave on her own, Bader said. He said he had heard rumors that she was last seen at night in a laundry room of the Ellicott Complex, which is a secluded area. Her laundry was still in the washer, he added. "-- . "That's absolutely false," said Jay. ...She was last seen in her dorm room." Bader said that he's not trying to foster an attitude of fear or paranoia. "We're not saying that there's some~ body lurking behind every bush," Bader said, "but there could be. So be a little careful." S pecifically, lljtder wants a blue lighl ~hone system, locked dorms, and fundmg for the volunteer Public Safety Aides and the Anti-Rape Task Force. Now that the money from parking fines is going to the University instead of the Town of Amherst and City of Buffalo, UB has revenue to work on items like the blue light phone system, Palmer said . Bader acknowled!!ed that the University is already workmg toward getting a blue light system. These phones, designated by bright blue lights, would be Police sift through bank records to get line on Lisa Jung Sohn U B Public Safety officials are investigating telephone and bank records of a freshman missing since OcL 17 in efforts to determine her whereabouts. Lisa Jung Sobn, 20, was last seen by her roommate in their third floor W'tlkeson dorm room nearly two weeks ago. Sohn, who is from the New York City area, is 5' 1•, 120 pounds with brown eyes and shoulder length black hair. Last Friday, Public Safety officers, aided by Niagara County sheriff depu- ties and their tracking dog, scoured the North Campus. Overhead, a State Police helicopter searched the same area for signs of the missing coed. Inspector Daniel Jay said that after a thorough search such as the one that has been conducted since the student was reported missing, it is unlikely that she is an ~ where on the Amherst Carnpll!;. Anyone having information as to the whereabouts of Sohn should contact Public Safety at 636-2222. 0 placed ih strategic areas .around campus. When the phone is picked up, .it registers a blip on a screen at Pubhc Safety headquarters so they know where the trouble is. SUNY at Binghamton has such a system and it works well, Bader sa1d. In a recent incident, a woman was being chased and didn' have time to stop at any of the phones. But she knocked them off the )look as she ra~. signalling to Binghamton 's Pubhc Safety where she was. They were able to prevent an attack, Bader said. Other universities have locked dorms and a registration desk so that only residents and their guests go into the building, Bader said. He said he didn' know how residents would react, but if be lived in Ellicott, he'd think it was a great way to protect safety and possessions. UB has three locked dorms and is looking at locking parts of other · dorms, but not Ellicott, said Dennis Black, associate dean of student affairs. Since Ellicott has libraries and food service areas used by non-residents, locking that 'complex isn' an answer. Bader said that the volunteer Public Safety aides should get funding from the administration for things like Tshirts to show that they 're members of the group. The Anti-Rape Task Force also should get funding for seminars and for a van that's accessible to hand icapped people, be said. Funding for. student groups should come through funding channels that exist for student groups., Vice Provost Palmer said. C hris Larcadc, usistant executive director for the Anti-Rape Task Force, charged that the task force was asked duri~g open· house in April to take down 1ts s1gns about prevention of date rape or acquaintance rape. They were told the signs portrayed a poor image to incoming students. Brack said that be badn' heard of the incident. But what might have happened was that the students were asked to t~e down the signs because they weren' posted on a bulletm board in an area designated for posters. That would have been done because of location, not content. "It's not a University policy to put up only happy signs when there's a large University event," he said. The administration says it cares about safety, "but 111 believe it when 1 see it," Larcade said. "I'll be happy and amazed, and 111 work with them in whatever way possible." That the administration hinders public safety "is absolutely not true.Palmer said. " We're not in a blockmg mode at all." He added that he has met with stu· dent leaders on the issue and his door is always open. " Public safety will always be a con· cern, but we don' have to be overly concerned," Palmer said. "We don\ 0 have a public safety crisis here." 2222 Pltic safetyS ,weekly Report n.o-.-... _... .... . . _ _,_Od.l ~ 4ftd11: • A woman reported a man wu in tbe womcn'sloeter room in Alumni Arena Oct. 9.

The pieces, which number between 60 and 70,_ were handcarved by the Olmec, a tnbe of people who lived in ~he jungles south of Vera Cruz, MexICO, between I ,SOO and 600 B.C. MWe ~ very fonunate to have acquired ThiS collection," said Margaret Nelson, director of the Anthropology Research Museum at UB, where the collection is being catalogued and will be housed. MMost countries now have stringent laws regarding the removal· of antiquities." .Nebon noted that Larson's donation came. from his own private collection of Mesoamerican artifacts and will enhance UB's anthropolor·cal reputati6JL MHe is a collector o artifacts.

N elson added that the people who will benefit from the gift won l just be researchers. .. We have courses in Mesoamerican archaeology here," she said. MTbese artifacts will serve as a very useful teaching tool in those classes." Larson's donation included celts, which ~ . similar to axes but were probably Used for other purposes such as planing wood, said Nebon. "The items are all highly polished stoDC and look almost Pmamental rather than practical," she said. " In fact, some of the pieces are very small and probably w~r~ ornamental and not such things as cutting down :::!.!or Two bark-beaters of a lateJ P.rind ~ also a part of the collcc:tion. These artifacts wne most likely used to manufacture paper and could date back to as early as 600 A.D., meaning that the art of writing on paper could have · been mastered at least that early in Nonh America. The collection also includes a mano, an implement that is used with a llilt grinding stone for processing maize paints, and other materials that DCed t~ be ground. MContemporary Mayan people still use the rdano for grinding com," Nelson said. "Those wbo donl live in tbe cities live a subsistence lifestyle.

The committee, composed of people from the school and the hospital, is ex~ to issue a repon sometime this fall, accordinl! to John Naughton, dean of the Med1cal School and vice president for clinical affairs at UB. The panel ~as formed as an outgrowth of this incident and the recognition that not everything that should have been complied with was complied with," Naughton said.

They n:portedly were performed on gay 1111:n to see whether repeated anal sex is barmfw to rectal ' functions . . he State Department of Health bas cited Buffalo General Hospital for failure to conform with portions of the T State hospital cnde. The health department found that the hospital failed to ensure that the research protocol was presented to the hospital's institutional n:view board. (That board is supposed to review and approve research projects involving human subjects.) The hospital also failed to ensure that the appropriate "Unauthorized, painful studies of gays led to move." format was followed in obtaining informed consent from tbe subj.Cts, the health department said. Buffalo General Hospital agreed with the health department's fmdings. However, it noted that while written documentation of consent wasnl obtained, there were indications that adequate explanations of the procedures had been given to the subjects. An internal recommendation regard- disciplinary action was made, said M1ke Shaw, d1rector of public relations at Buffalo General, but be declined to give details. · The hospital is taking steps to make sure that researchers get the proper approvals, Shaw added. he new committee is not investigating this incident specifically , Naughton said. Instead, it is invC5tigating the whole process of conducting research. The committee will ask whether-the staff is informed of the procedures for conducting human research and animal research, he said. Ip general terms, no human or animal investigation showd 110 on in any university wjtbout followmg all of the current guidelines, he said. There should be a well-<lefined protocol, and the experiment should be approved by all of the prope~ committees. MMy guess is that's where the. committee will come out," Naughton said. The committee will also recommend corrective action where needed. he noted. T The incident is not really a UB incident since nothing was ever broupt to the University for approval and 11 was not conducted at UB, Naughton said. Tbe person who conducted the research bas a voluntary (unpaid) University appointment, but that's by virtue nf his af.pointment to the staff of one of UB s teaching hospitals , Naughton said. (In order to be on the staff at any of six major local hospitals, including Buffalo General, a pbysicixn must atcept a faculty appointment at UB, the dean explained.) H owever, resident physicians from UB app~ntly participated in the incident. The committee will look at whether the program directors of the residents, or the program director of surgery at Buffalo General, were involved. "My feeling, and this is only a feeling, is that they weren l involved," Naughton said. The committee will not censure anyone; that's up to tbe health department, Naughton noted. The committee is simply trying to make sure everybody is doing everything correclly. 0 UUP says it seeks 'excellence' in its next contract Scheuerm.... was at UB recently as embers of UUP are commitpan of a plan to visit all 32 UUPted to excellence, though represented campuses, he said.

" we were talking about setting pieces of S hake s peare to music." said Sanford, "and we hap· pened upon th e 42nd so nnet. ·· "Our relati o n to the son net is co m· plex," not'ed Brown.

The Black Mountain Review, a publication for which Brown served as editor for two years and for which Sanford wrote. dealt with the issues of writing and sexuality. As an outgrowth of this experience, the two collaborated on a text about pornography. "Thinling about the link between writing and sexuality got us into our first song, 'Read Me (Like a Book)." " said Sanford. You open me an I shut your eyes You feel your secret slip inside I'd like to help but my hands are tied I'm just along to be your ride. (from kad M~ (Ub a Book). lyrics by Beverly Sanford) "People use the word "reading' very casually." Brown said. "We tall about reading a bool by its cover. The phrase is used facilely. We're maling it more difficult. "" "And in particular." added Sanford, "the voice of the song is a rather sultry one. It sounds. sort of like a come-on, but in fact, it"s not necessarily a person speaking. As BiU said, this complicates the issue. Who is speaki ng? Sanford at first offered th e suggestio n, ··a text?" Then she to6 k back her answer, "I refuse to be determining ... anford and Brown enjoy ambiguity. This is reflected in several of their so ngs. Sanford's song, "In-Between ," for instance. refers to fluctuations in gender. S When he found out that I like women, he dropped me like I gave him the clap. When she found out that I like men. she dropped me like /"d laid her a 1rap. This theme of gender reversal refers back. to Shakespeare's sonnet in which the male speaker hu loved a young man, who 1s now in love with a dark. lady. The songs also revolve around issues in literary theory. " Big Daddy 0" is about French psychoanalytic theorist , Jacques Lacan. "We joke about Lacan, and about taking him as a critical giant, thinking what would it be like if he were a literal giant."" said Sanford . "A nd . moreover, what would it be like to wake up in bed one morning next to a 90-foot tall psychiatrist named Jacques Lacan." This song, which has a traditional rock and roll beat, went over particularly well with the crowd at the Essex Street Pub. Several of their other songs also have a strong theoretical bent. " A Short Phil· osophical Dialogue" uses words from Derrida, and uY oung Writers, Or The Fort / Da Song." refers to Freud. One song which Sanford and Brown identify as bringing together everything they do is ""Six Months Ago I Couldn' Even Spell 'Monkey• & Now I R I. " ...The music is what is called Garage Punk - like the Stooges, a "60s band heavy on rhythm and noise, and what"s read over it is very sophisticated literary theory," said Brown. "The text is actually a cut-up," added Sanford . "It"s a conglomerate of a pas· sage from Irigaray, one from Bataille, one from Sade, one from Heidegger. one from Derrida.

The '60s were a time before the record industry really knew how to manage the field . Since the '60s the record companies and talent agents and managers have really learned how to fum music into a business. "The "60s were the last moment of freedom when a person could come out of nowhere and be at the top of the charts," concluded Brown.

In six weeks or less, I would fmd out whether my test scores placed me in the 98th percentile of the general population. If so, I would be eligible to join Mensa. an international organiza- tion made up of thousands of people united solely by the ir top two per cent intelligence stat us, as determined by a standardized test. I could call myself a ' Mensan and enjoy all the accompanying honor and privi leges of the openly intelligent just as long as my S33 dues are sent in each year. American Mensa, Ltd ., has been collecting smart people for more than 25 years. The whole idea of. fo"!'ing an organizatio n of people wath h1gh IQs was dreamed up in 1945 by a group of British law ye rs . The gro~p was intended to function as a bratn trust, something which the government could tap in times . of . need. But 1t IS as a social orgamzauon th at Mens~ has developed and prospered, accordmg to Carlie Nikolai, pubhc•ty officer for Mensa's Western New York chapter. To become a member, you need only prove that you have a high .enough IQ. This is usually done by takmg any one or two of a number of standardtu:d intelligence tests. For exampl~, the California Test of Mental Matunty and the Cattell Test are administered by Mensa-«rtilied proctors and are regularly offered at UB. On these as on any IQ test, questions are not intended to measure your knowledge of Third World Geography, of trigonometry, or of Civil War bat- . ties. Rather, you are tested on such things as listenin~ comprehension, the ability to make VISUal and verbal analogies, your proficiency in working out word problems such as: 1. If it were two hours later, it ' would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later. What time is it now? 2. Pear is to apple as potato is to? a. banana b. radish c. strawberry d . peach e. lettuce 3. Continue the following numbe r series with the group of numbers below which best continues the series. 1 10 3 9 5 8 7 7 9 6 - •. 11 , 5 b. 10, 5 c. 10, 4 d. 11 , 6 (see below lor answers) Y ou can also qualify for membership if your SAT scores place you in the top two per cent, Nikolai pointed out. According to Mensa standards, one of every 50 people is eligible to join the organization. There are approximately 60,000 current members, Nikolai said, more than three-quarters of whom are American. If you consider Mensa's requirements, that membership number represents only a very small percentage of the world's would-be Mensans. And with its measly 250 Mensans, Western New York would seem to be made up largely of boneheads. So where are all the smart people? Hobnobbing with the likes of Mensans Isaac Asimov or the former president of Ford Motor Company isn' exactly keeping bad company. Nikolai thinks the problem is partly due to image. "We do have an 'egghead' image," she said. "But most Mensans look and act just like ordinary people - because that's what they are. They just have one thing in common : the ab1lity to score high on a standardized IQ test. And let's face it, you do have to have a certain degree of intelligence to score in the 98th percentile. "As far as the image goes, " Nikolai continued, " Meilsans prefer to think of themselves as mental gymnasts wh o enjoy exercising their bram muscles, .. a practice hard to come by outside the university environment. Several of the recent test-takers at UB pointed out the prestige connected with membership in Mensa; others just liked the challenge of trying to score high enough on an lQ lest to be invited to join an elite group. But no one reOJJy seemed to believe that being a member of Mensa makes you genius material. Both Wishner and Nikolai . pointed out the social appeal . of Mensa. An annual convention draws thousands of members for contests and games, workshops, and guest speakers. There is a huge network of special interest groups, which appeal to interests ranging from nuclear physics to ballroom dancing to the occult. Mensa also maintains an education and research foundation , focusing on the sponsorship of gifted children, and a newsletter which informs members of upcoming activities. Members of the Western New York chapter receive a monthly newsletter, Mensana, which includes a calendar of local events, and a cat column by Wishner. Once a month, dozens of local Mensans meet at a restaurant for dinner and a guest speaker; others meet regularly for drinks, or movies, or games. There is also a local scholarship fund for gifted children. A re~ional convention of Buffalo and N1agara Falls area Mensans is being planned for this spring. ccording chapter A diverse. to Wishner, the local is young, active , and "We have quite a range, and nobody agrees with anybody else," Wishner said. ~Bur t·u tell you why I'm so involved: tbey understand and laugh at aJJ my jokes ...

"There has been a tendency in the past for the problems associated with PMS to be minimized or simply dismissed by some physicians.

"The y shouldn l be tortured; they should have the right to a trial, and they should be allowed to be a member of a family for instance.

International human rights policies are based on such things as the International BiU of Rights and the lnternallonal Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," says Welch. "Since those policies were forged fairly recently ( 1948 and 1966 respectively), the interest in human rights is stiU growi ng." The graduate group, founded in the fall of 1985, is a reflection of that. " We started out as a small number of faculty who were not aware of their common interest, ... notes Welch . .. Now we've become a cohesive, interdisciplinary faculty and graduate student group that has held three successful conferences on human rights." As is the case with other graduate groups, the human rights program allows ita students to take independent study with its faculty, who are drawn mainly from the social sciences and law facolt1es. Students may also take classes with group faculty and write their dissertations on various aspects of human rights. Besides enhancing the students' chosen graduate study program, Welch 'The .

Street lamps, misty islands of light, burned above the roadways in that curious evening almost a century and a half ago. At the Phelps House, a hotel across from a downtown Buffalo park, three well-dressed men were seated iit a semicircle on elegant new chairs, across from two ,IDngle :women seated on a sofa. All three men coldly stared at the women's legs, then in turn each laid his hands on the women's knees. The women showed no signs of alarm. The year was 1851. A nineteenth cent ury brothel? Hardly. It was the scene of o ne o f history's earl iest scientifi c investigations of paranormal phenome na, conducted by three of the founders of UB and its Medical School. The twO women on the sofa were Mrs. Leah Fish and her younger sister. Margaret Fox. Kate, the yo ungest of the Fox sisters, was absent that night. If you have never heard of the Fox sisters, they are the founders of " modern spirituahsm." Spiritualism. the concept that there is a world "beyond," includes the belief that certain individuals, or "med iums," can communicate with th is afterworld. Around since ancient tim~s. the belief waned over the centuries until the Fox sisters breathed new life into an old idea and reintroduced the concept into .. modern spiritualism." Through them, thousands of 19th century Americans were o nce again able to " hear" spirits, and occasionally even "'see" the supernatural in action. For those of yo u not so comfortable with these notions, take heart , for there were people back then who felt u you do. Among them were three of Buffalo's most highly respected physicians of the time: Austin Flint, Charles B. Coventry, and Charles A. Lee. The three UB docton were the ones examining tbe women's knees on February 19, 1851, and to say the least, they believed that the sisters were clever but fraudulent "Foxes." T he story really began not in Buffalo , but in the village of Hydesville, 30 miles east of Rochester. On the evening of March 31, 1848, the house of John and Margaret Fox , in the quaint village, became filled with noises. The Foxes had just recently moved into their rather modest home. :John Fox was a refonned alcoholic, and by all accounts, both he and his wife were faithful Methodists with no interest whatsoever in the occult. But that night the walls, the doo..S, the floor were all knocking loudly, and the family huddled together. Their two daughters - Margaret, 15, and Kate, II - were apparently just as frightened as their parents. In the following days, more than a dozen neighbors dropped by to see what the stir was all about. On and off, the rappings continued. With neighbors present, an incredible thing happened. Someone developed a system through which communication was established with the source of the knockings. A set number of raps was undentood to mean either yes or no, and through a more tedious process, the alphabet was recited continually, while the knockings thus spelled out messages. Everyone was dumbfounded. The knockings not only correctly guessed the ages of several people, but answered more personal questions as well. Then the mysterious rappings identified their source as the spu;tt of a peddler, Char!es 8 . Roena, who had been murdered to the house some four or five yean earlier. AccordinJ to the knockings, he had been buned in the cellar. Within days, earnest digging ensued, but without success because the hole continuou sly filled with water. The previous owner of the house, living in a nearby town, meanwhile goi word of what was going on and promptly collected signatures attesting to his good character. No charges were ever plaoed, hilt news of the strange rapping at the Fox bouse spread across the countryside. A few days passed before people realized the knockings occurred only in the presence of the sisters, Margaret and Kate. Rather than accuse them of trickery, people assumed that the sisters were gifted channels for the supernatural . It was not long before Margaret and Kate were off to Rochester to live with their eldest sister, Leah Fish, a divorced music teacher. There, the rapping continued in full fo~ . R~hester aw_o!e t'1JY.call. • -~. - ~rous inveJtisation~coo .. dbciOd by members of the~mmllllify. - doctors, lawyen, politicians. Tile sisters repeatedly undressed before female committees, to affum that no concealed devices were present. Nothing was ever found. As word spread, Leah realized there was profit to be made. People from hundreds of miles around would come to hear the "Rochester Rappings." Among them were such noted figures as James Fenimore Cooper and Horace Greele y. Leah beoame the business. leader of her two .. psychic" sisters . She began charging prices of S 1.00 a head for public seances and $5.00 for private ones, which were hefty fees back the n . Leah seances and $5.00 for private ones, which were hefty fees back then. Leah later explained that the fees had been " prescribed for us," presumably by the spirit world. Few people were disappointed . On several occasions, hundreds of people claimed to have seen moving tables and chairs, and at least at one seance, a playing guitar was said to have floated about the room. W.H. McDonald, a prominent journalist from New York City, reported that the raps varied "from a light clear metallic sound to a muffled one" and occurred .. now on the table before us and again on the floor and in various distant parts of the room. " Many cynics left these seances as believen. Soon, the Fox sisters were on the road . Their "act" was a raving success and regularly attracted overflow crowds. After the sisters traveled to Albany, New York City, and everywhere in between, they finally came to Buffalo in 1851. Dr1. Austin Flint, Cbarlca Lee, and Charles Coventry were waiting for them. A 1851 , few days prior to February 19, the three doctors bad attended one of the sisters' public seances "from motives of curiosity," as they reported in the Buffalo Medical Journal. The three were impressed. "We were surprised and puzzled by the loudness of the sounds, the apparent evidences of non-instrumentality on the part of the females, and the different directions from which tbey seemed to 1 SUPERN emanate." But lest we forget, they were men of science, men of reason. Their y ears of education had taught them, almost to the point of instinct, to have an inherent rrustrust of any such claim with which they were not familiar. Austin Flint's ancestry had "M.D." slam~ all over it. His' grandfather, Austin Flint, had been a n:spc:cted surgeon in the American Army of the Revolution. The younger Austin Flint earned . his desree in 1833 at Harvard Medical School and came to Buffalo in 1836. Dr. Flint was well known for his medical writings. Dr. Charles Lee, who had once studied for the ministry, was per.b'\P.s best ltnown;l{pr , beins a , n~~"'"ter on -._ ~ and scientific subjecu. His many publicatioDJ on alco~ ("intemperance," in those days) and on the manasement of institutions for the insane reflected not only his scientific but his humanitarian concerns as well. And there was Charles Coventry, UB's first professor of physiolof!Y and D)edical juns- · prudence. T he three docto~ must haw: felt their whole belief system threatened by the claims of the Fox s1sters. Through a process of exclus ion , they first put any supernatural explanations on the back burner. Then, with the understanding that the sisters had been repeatedly examined by committees of women , and that rooms had been searched as """· they eliminated the possibility of artificial "lr.nocking" devices: Quring the public seance, it became apparent to the docton that oftly Margaret was capable of producina the sounds, and that it required quite an effort of will on her part. "It was plain," - �October 29, 11117 Volume 19, No. 8 IGNG [E ~ they said, "that it could not be continued very long without fatigue." They came to the conclusion that the source of the knockings was not spiritual at all, but wholly anatomical! The hard evidence they were looking for was, indeed, bard enough to knock on: knees. Margaret Fox, it turned out, had simulated umessages from the other side" simply by snapping her joinu. Many of us can ••crack" .our ,klluckles, few- er can snap toes · or knees. But some rare individuals can loudly dislocate certain joints with uncanny slcill. During the initial stages of their investigation, the UB doctors came across a "'respec~able lady of this city," whom they identified in the lluffa/o M~dico/ JourfUll only as "Mrs . P ." She was able to produce sounds remarltably similar to tbe "Rochester llappings,. claimed the doctors, just by dislocatIng her knee jQints. And she eouJd do this without any obvious movement of her legs. That, reasoned Flint, Coventry, and Lee, was exactly the 1DSWCr to the Rochester Rappings : tbe Fex sisters were merely accomplished "joint snappe rs." On February 17, the doctors published their allegations in the pages of the Buffolo Commercial Advertiser. By the followin g day, uah and Marsaret had placed a short but clear retort in the same :;:~f:::;~rrt As we do fttl willing to rut llnlkr the imputatio, of ftOt being impostw~ are ~rs. very willing to undergo ap~rand dtcrnJ exam- Uultion. pro-vided we can selut three male and three female friends who shall in pre. sent on the occasion. Little time was wasted. The next day, a meeting was held at the Phelps. House. A detailed report of the investigation appeared in the March 1851 issue of the Buffalo Medical Journal: After a short delay, · the two Rochester females being seated on a sofa, the knockings commenced, and were continued for some time in loud ton~s and rapid succ~s­ sion. The ..spirits" were then asked, "whether they would manifest themselves during the sitting and r~sponJ to interrogatori~s. " A series of raps followed, which w~r~ interpreted into a reply in the affirmative. The two [~males w~re then seat~d upon two chairs placed Mar together. their heels resting on cushions, t~ir lower limbs extended, with the toes elevated and the feet separated from each other. .. We were pr.uy well satisj'U!d that the displacement of the bones requisite for tlte sounds could not In effected unless " fulcrum were obtained by resting one foot upon the other, or on some resisting body. Then; was no knocking. The spirits refused to cooperate. When the SISters resumed their former positions, the knockings resumed. At this point, the sisters consented to a request by the doctors to have their knees held . Were the knee joints truly the source of the "For thq most part, the explanation of the three doctors fell on deaf ears."' knockings, at least some bone movement would be perceptible to the holder. The experiment was only a minimal success. There was plenty of knocking whenever the knees were not being held, but only once otherwise, when Dr. Lee relaxed his grip for a moment, were two or three faJnt raps heard . ue promptly affirmed that "the motion of the bone was plainly perceptible to him. " fter the doctors published their findings, they were contacted by several people who could produce knocking sounds not only wtth their knees, but with toes, fingers, hips, and in one case, a shoulder. In their amazement,.. the doctors pronounced that a door had been opened to "a new and c uriou s field of ph ysiolo gical inquiry." With regard to the Fox sisters, howeve r, the docto rs were convinced that Margaret's knees were the primary source of the knockings. The evening session of February 19 came to a standstill when the two parties could not come to an agreement over a proposal by the doctors to bandage the SISters' knees, so as to minimize the amount of bone movement. Tension had been high throughout the meeting, and at one point, Margaret is said to have broken into tears. It had been a gruelins investisation, with periods of utter silence as Ions as 40 minutes. Nevertheless, the doctors were confident they had substantiated their allesations, that this would likely be the end of the Rpcbester Rappings. Not so. Many people, particularly the "non-medical" public, found it difficult to believe that the knockings were joint-produced. As the doctors themselves frankly admitted for many "it required almost as much stretch of the imagination to believe that such sounds could be produced in the joints, as that thev involved a suoematural a~~encv." A Several questions remaintd. At seances, while participants would remain in place, knockings would come now from the wall, now frQm the door, then from the floor. How could the sisters have carried off this illusion? Simple, the doctors said. Variations in the supposed distance of the sounds simply reflected variat-ions in the intensity of the sounds. As a ventriloquist .. throws" his voice:, the Fox sisters could ...throw their knocks." But probably the hardest idea for people to accept, especially those who had been to the seances, was that anyone could produce sounds of such intensity - reportedly loud enough to have caused vibrations on doors and tables - without making themselves obvious. To this, the doctors simply responded that of all the joints in the body, the knee joint was the one "most favorable for the production of loud sounds. • These three UB doctors were the ftrSt to present a solid theory <ia the Rochester knockings, and they were f oUowed In the years to come by a number of other investipton, many ol whom presenled vasiatioDJ on the joint theory. For the m~t part, however, their explanation feU on deaf ears. The faithful, of whom there were many, ignored the expose. After the doctors had published their reports, the knockings became a secondary attractioQ. Instead, the "spirits" focused their enersies on kickmg tables and chairs, ringing bells and ·gongs, and playing the banjo~ Marsaret Fox and uab Fish abruptly left Buffalo on February 25, 1851. The Fox sisters became lesends in the spiritualist world. In the following years, they continued to draw huge audiences, communicating to the faithful various messages from the world beyond. Later, they stirred spiritualist sentiments all over England. But in the 1870s, Kate Fox - who bad been absent during the Buffalo investigation - declared spiritualism a fraud : Every so called manifestation produced through me in London or anywhere ~l.s~ was a fraud. Many a time I have wept. becowe, when I was young and innocent, I was led into such a life. In 1888, Margaret followed suit, admitting that the primary source of the knockings had been their toes. Thus, it seems the Buffalo physicians had been correct in principle, though slightly off target. The sto ry does not end here. In an iro nic twist, Dr. Charles U. later became a conven to the doctrine of the spiritual rappings, and felt indignant toward his uncompromising friends ! (No ex planation of th is could be found .) Another bizarre event occurred when a skeleton was found in the basement of the original Fox house in Hydesville near the tum of the century. Spiritualists claimed it was that of the murdered peddler, Charles Roena, but this was never substantialed. Back to the present. Dr. Paul Kurtz of the Philosophy Department at UB heads the Commmee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paran- · ormal (CSICOP), continuins a tradition started ben: 136 years ago by the three Buffalo doctors. Like his predecesson, Dr. Kuru and his team go around "knocking" psychics and "rapping • beliefs in the paranormal. 0 E,., 1M.......,,. •,.,...,...._.--a ,..., Heron In 01c11owr 1t • ua . . - - ......., of We~ - ·ollie. ,., or1gt1a1 ,_rr:h by Vem 8ullouph. -._ Hahn/ & Social S"""Buftalo ~· ......., , -, School ol Nursing.

The Sacrtnce It's OK to adm~ lhat you may balk at lhe idea of seeing yet another film about nuclear war. But "The Sacrifice." one of lhis weekend's UUAB films . is not just another one of those films. Called • a stunningly beautrtul film." by The New York Time s, "The Sacrifice" was directed by IHe Soviet expatriate Andrei Tarl<ovsky. It was filmed in Sweden by cinematographer Sven Nykvist and stars Ertand Josephson. The film focuses neither on burning Uesh nor on' political issues nOI' on the mundane details involved in surviving a disasler. Rather. it follows one man's confrontation with the threat of the most destructive disaster mankind can imagine, and his desperate anempt to block its occurrence. Unlike any other film , The Sacrifice actually makes palpable the fear of nuclear war. And it does a lot more than that. According to the Times. the film " concerns man's spiritual failures in the nuclear age." After ~s screening at last month's New Vorl< Film Feslival, the Village Voice wrote: '1he film .. . is a story of death and resuttection , in which the horror of personal mortalily blazes into a vision of universal destruction. then subsides, no less affectingly, back into itse!f." The Voice points out lhat "The Sacrifice" is Tarkovsky's most accessible f~m. It is also Tarl<ovsky's final wort<; he died of lung cancer in December t986. Over the period of aboul 25 years. T arl<ovsky produced just eighl films. including "Andrei Roublev" (t966), and " Nostalgh ia" ( t983) . which was made in Italy. " Bul this handful of completed worl<s," wr~es the Voice, "is individually of such weight and vision that each one of them alone mighl have secured him a place in filn\ history. A commentator on our modem conditton. an icon pa inter in film and a man of profound belief, ~ was Tarl<ovsky's aim to bring the inward. spiritual world into a state of harmony with the outward. material world."

Unlike previously used evaluation tools, which sum up student reaction to for years have not had any effect on teaching effectiveness. Not the way tliey've been used anyway. That's the conclusion of Maryellen Gleason Weimer, head of the Instruc- courses in a manner that Weimer reasons few instructors know how to use, tional Development Program at Penn- sylvania State Univer.;ity. · TCEP can match the results of teacher I According to Weimer, most of those ass ociated with higher educatio n look at uni versi ty-level teaching as a kind of no n-entity. " We're not trained to teach," she asserted . course evaluation with information about resourceS needed by instructors to improve th~r teaching. TCEP will soon be introduced at UB through a pilot program .

Research indicates that this is a false a~~ urnption , Wei mer sai d , as s he The program will be wid_ely available in the fall of 1988. addressed the annual fall teaching confere nce sponsored by the Teaching Qua lit y Co mmittee of the Faculty tion at Northeastern Unive rsity, where ennifer Lesley Franklin, an instructional designer for the Office of JInstructional Develo pment and EvaluaTCEP was developed , outlined the project for the conference. According to Franklin, "the heart of Se nate in cooperation with the Office of Teachi ng Effectiveness. the project .. is that instructors receive not only a list of number.;, but also messages listing ;elf-instructional materials that are available on particular topi<:a, and ideas for suppon services on tbe campus. Tbese mes&aies are aenerated u specifiC responses to areas of weakness revealed by the survey reaulu. ... For some instructors, it is nat· suffi- cient to get a message saying that you should go looking .. . in some journal that may or may not be on the shelf in the library," Franklin added. "These instructors need direct personal consultat ion." Such consultation would be made available through TCEP, and might o f the instructors' social sec ur ity numbers. This might have been a co nvenient tool for the promotion process, but was undoubt~ly psychologically devastating to poorly ranked teacher.;, and did nothing to improve their performance, reasoned Weimer. In a formative model, the evaluations would not be used primarily for promotion and tenure purposes, but to help interested instructors improve their teaching. Such tactics as the command o raids in the classroom in which peer observe rs a rrive unannounced, have no place in such an evaluation process, said Weimer. take such forms as co nferences with trained staff membe r.; in the Office of Teaching Evaluation, and for those who are not squeamish, videotaping of classroom sessions. In the jargon of the conference, the TCEP program is formative, and not summalive. Accord ing to Weimer, most evaluation is designed with institutional conve nience in mind - a way to sum up and pass judgement on what has alread y happened. She described a situation in which the evaluations of 60 professors in an W ei mer stated that a major obstacle to successful formative eval uation is facult y resistance which stems from so me tenacious misconceptions about evaluation. She exploded these myths one by one, declaring that it is false that nobody knows what good teaching is. It is false that the backgrounds of students have more impact on evaluations than does teaching effectiveness. And it is false that stude nts use evaluations as unnamed department at an unnamed university were ranked from best to a type of popularity contest, rat ing highly the instructor.; they like.

Finally, practically all the awardees a nd small classrooms st udents are enco uraged to interact with their professors. Contexis for student-faculty dia logue are created through such strategies as responding to pre-arran~ed questions and commenting on pomts made during a lecture. tbeoe techniques are believed to reduce student apathy and passivity, two especially acute problems in large lectures, as well as. to make it clear to students that leammg is enhanced in a non-authoritarian climate where an active partner.;hip between student and teacher exists. In addition post-class conferences are scheduled to address subcultural and academic differences among students that cannot be addressed tn a large lecture setting. These teachers sef explicit, realistic, and suffiCiently flexible student achievement standards through which they attempt to accommodate the intellectual needs and learning styles of a heterogeneous student population. In the words of one awardee: "We need to stretch our students." These teachers also indicated that they have low but motivating levels of performance anxiety prior to each class, and never appear for a. lecture or seminar without preparation. Although no one personality t~pe was believed to char11cterize ouutandtng teachers, many interviewees compared teachin4 to acting, with the ~lassroom a proscentum.

To a per.;on they_ expressed then willin$ness to talk wtth students about such 1ssues as time management ~d study skills. One master teacher sa~d : "The teacher should become a coach and an inspiration to his/ her students." Both real and artificial barriers between students and teacher.; were recognized . The real barraers wer.e presumed to be related to the teachers role as an evaluator a~d to the differences in age, expenence, and knowledge between the two . groups.

That's because, for the ftrst time ever the University has integrated an intr~mura l -ty p e competition into a recognized University sports team's tournament. The result of the pairing is the UB Classic women's volleyball tournament (the varsity team event) and the UB Challenge Volleyball Tournament for students, faculty, and staff to be held at Alumni Arena tomorroW and Saturday. Challenge tournament teams must be co-ed and have at least ten members. First round matches will be at 9 p.m., Friday. Second round and semi-final matches will be held Saturday morni~g with the final scheduled to be played at 2 p.m. The champion of the tournament will receive two party pizzas and a bucket of chicken wings from Santora 's. D T his is the first year for the Classic tournament and Bob Maxwell , coach of the volleyball Royals, hopes that the fust time is a charm. .. h will be a good tournament ," he said . .. ,, expect ir to come down lo us and Edinboro (University of Pennsylvania) for the championship." Teams from Canisi us College and LeMoyne College will also be at the Classic, whose format is round-robin with best-of-five-games matches. "I don't expect LeMoyne to give us any trouble," added Maxwell. "Canisius is up and down. If they're on, they could be a problem." · So far this year, as in the past few years, UB's Royals have had little problem with most of their opponents. In fact, including this year's record of 16-6 to date, Maxwell's teams have gone I I J-24 over the past three seasons. "I expected us to go about 30-20 this year," said Maxwell . " But now I'm hoping to win. at least 34." Led by senior tri-captains Maria Perry, Barb Tinus, and Beth Mattfeld, the team has both surprised and disappointed Maxwell. "I've been disappointed by the play of some of the players who I thought would come into their own this year." he said. " But I've also been pleasantly surprised by some of the younger players. " his ye ar 's team, which Maxwell said is playing a much tougher schedule than last year's, will have a hard time equaling the 1986-87 squad's accomplishments. To start with , last year's team finished second in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC), had a 52~ record, and was ranked among the top 20 Division Ill women's volley ball teams in the country. Despite those impressive statistics and the reputation this year's Royals have been forced to try to live up to, Maxwell is pleased with his team's progress. "I was a little nervous before the season started because we had lost three starters with I I years of starting experience among them," said Maxwell . " But the younger players, especially sophomores Kelly Brennan, Karren Goetz, and Cheryl Giese, have done a good job and filled the void that was T left by the three who are gone." M axwell knew that this year 's schedule would be much tougher than last year's. "We were supposed to be a Division II team this year," explained Maxwell. "So we scheduled almost all of our matches against Division II teams ... As we all know now, the University 's plans to upgrade athletics were put on hold and the women's volleyball team is stuck in a catch-22 situation. They have a Division II schedule, but are classified as a Division Ill school, have no scholarship players, and are no longer a member of the SUNY AC. Maxwell said the team has responded well to the situation. "We're pla ying pretty well right now," he said . "If we had played the same schedule as we did last year, we'd be undefeated ." Maxwell's bold statement does not seem to be too far from the truth, given the high caliber of competition the team has played and will play. For example, the Royals have beaten Division II powerhouse Gannon two out of three times this year and still must play the likes of Ithaca College and Albany State. Right now , U B is ranked sixth in the The Royals are ranked 6th in the northeast in women's volleyball. Northeastern U.S. region. The ftrst fou r teams in \h~ region are ranked in the top 20 nationally. "We play the teams that are ahead of us, ... said Maxwell, .. so we can move up if we win." ven though the team is out of the SUNY AC, they could still compete E for the Division Ill national title by receiving an at-large bid to the national tournament. "Because we finished secood in the conference last year, - received an atlarge bid," said Maxwell. "We'll get the same bid this year." MaxweU, in his seventh . year as the Royals' coach, loolcs forward to the day when UB makes the move to Division II. . "We've been getting good recruits the Jut few years and have shown that we can play at that level," he said. Ull's first match in the Classic will be on Friday at 7 p.m. apinst LeMoyne. Tbe Royals will then meet Edinboro on Saturday at noon and will conclude the tournament against Canisius at 3 p.m. 0 UB's Mad Turtles place second in rugby·ch,mpionships By JIM McMULLEN B's Mad Turtles rugby club is a determined group of guys. They're successful, too, fimsh. ing second in the Upstate Rugby Union championships last weekend at Delaware Park. The team 's Oct. 17 victory over Buff State clinched this season's Western Division title (the team's second in three years) and propelled them to the Upstate champio nship games Oct. 24 a nd 25. There they secured the second place title by defeating Cortland 18-10 on Saturday, but missed ftnt place, losing 14-6 to Plattsburgh on Suoday. Rugby, for the uninitiated, is a sport which combines elements from American football and soccer. The game is played with a ball that looks suspiciously like · a squi.shed egg (from a monster-sized chicken). The idea is to move the ball from one end of the field to score a "try" at the other. Some of you may have heard that rugby is a pretty vtolent sport. Well, you heard right. Cuualties from the U weekend games include o ne broken jaw and lots of bruises. Actually, the team loses more players to sickness (rugby is an all-weather sport) than to inju ry, according to Frank Baker, president of the Mad Turtles. What makes rugby different from many other sports at U B is that the team is an SA club, rather than a University-sponsored athletic team. That means a lot in terms of organization, administration, and team spirit, Baker said . Practice goes on every day, with a weekly scrimmage on Wednesday, but to play in the weekend game, players only have to make two days. "Most guys show up four or five days a week anyway," Baker remarked. Practices are run by team captains Doug Flynn and Steve Molloy, because the team bas no official coach. " But we're about as successful as ·other teams with high-powered coaches, and more successful than many," Baker noted. "Playing the game as a club sport means there's a Jot Jess p~;CSSure on individual team members than with n:gular sports teams," he added, "but we play the game just as hard as anybody e lse." Team members don't have to devote all of their spare time and part of their work time to the game. That makes for a good atmosphere and excellent team spirit, all of which have added up to an impressive record in recent years. This year's Mad Turtles have had an 8-2 season, competing both within the Upstate Union of college clubs and in a tournament with other men 's clubs. The team captured the Upstate Uni on ftrst place tttle in 1984. R ugb y clubs are organized and integrated int~ unions throughout the United States. Division schedules are centrally organized within those unions, but beyond that, teams can decide where and with whom they want to play. The team can basically go wherever they want, Baker said.

The Universit y has also recently granted the team access to training facilities in Alumni Arena. "Rugby at UB has really grown in the last five years," Baker said. The rugby club is "very secure" and is starting to get accepted into the University circle. Part of the team's popularity is owing to its composition. "Participants come from a variety of ethnic, geographic, and diacipUnary areu in the Univenity, • Balter noted. "There's team spirit, but ·the group is also like a fraternity - very clote-Icnit.

II is universally agreed that the muffins are terrific, and that at 32 cents apiece, they're a great deal. The bran muffins in particular are being singled out by more and more people. If yo u don't like bran, yo u pro bably think they're disgusting. Let's face it, they're coarse and they're ugly. To bran lovers, on th e other hand , they have a unique beauty. '"'They're the o nl y thing 1 eat here ... says Karen Kni1.ak , a UB junior . ''The y're tc xturcy, and have a lot of raisi ns Which are no t dry or s hrivelly . .. "The blueberry muffins are good, too," says Knizak , but they 're made with whit e nour. Bran is better heahhier. I eat several a wee k." The blueberry muffins are, in fact , more popular than the bran. but the blueberry fan s lack the dedication and enthusiasm of the bran muffin crowd. The conse nsus see ms to be that a blueberry muffin is a blueberry muffin. but U B's bran muffins are beyond co mpare. "I good," think the muffins here are really says Mimi Ellerbee, a UB fresh man. "Compared to other thmgs out of food service. they don' last.! like they're made here ... Je nn ifer Burkhard, a UB freshman , agrees with gusto, adding that the bran muffi'ns go particul arly well with the fruit plate, a regular feature at Red Jacket dining room where she frequently dines. Martha Hurley, a recent UB graduate, and several of her friends never fail to stop at UB for bran inu[fins when they're in the Buffalo area. Someone should tell the Chamber of Commerce abo ut this . .. A bran muffin a day is more important than an apple a day," says Hurley, referring to the healthy fiber content of bran. Hurley states anot her advantage. "They're like eating rocks," she says, .. they slt in your stomach most of the day." The observation is meant as a com pliment, and roughly translates to mean that the muffi ns are filling. UB's bran muffins are actually gaining a national reputation. Barbara von Wahlde, director of University Libraries, often travels, taking with her as many as two dozen bran muffins at a time, at the request of her colleagues at distant universities. Von Wahlde at first took the muffins o n the road for her own breakfast. After sharing them with friends she . soon had regular takers at the University of Pittsburgh, the Smithsonian Library, aod the University of Michigan. Thanks to von Wahlde, the muffins have also been eaten at UCLA, Brown, Washington and Lee in Virginia, and Northwestern - reportedly to rave revtews. "These muffins have also been consumed abroad," reports von Wabide who has taken UB bran muffins with her to England. They're easy to carry in the band luggage, and present no problem at customs, she relates. ho is the culinary ge nius behind W this bull market in bran muffins? Dave Rosati. bakery foreman at the Statler Commissary. .. Muffins are getti ng to be a big th ing ... co nfirm s Rosa ti, who has wo rked for the bakery for 19 years. .. Yo u see shops now that sell nothing but muffins." All of the baked goods at UB are baked to order on a daily basis, Rosati explains. There are never any leftovers. Check it out. By noon there is seldom a bran muffin to be fo und on campus. The bakers start at 8 at night and the bakery closes down at I0:30 the next morning. "While you people are sleeping, we're working," says Rosat i. What is it that makes people go crazy for Rosati's bran muffins? The theme that the muffin eaters return to again and again is that the bran muffins are moist - not dry or tasteless like other bran muffins they've had. Rosati reveals th at the secret· ingre- dienl is (believe it or not) crushed pineapple! 0 ne senses that the other secret ingredient is Rosati's consid e rab~e baking talent, for as he describes htS popular recipe, it becomes clear that he seldom makes the bran muffins the same way twice:. ..Today, for instance, instead of pineapple I threw in mandarin oranges, peaches, and some apples. I like the variation of different fruits. That's my style," says Rosati. How docs Rosati feel about his muffins? "They're good," he says, but personally he prefers his marble-rye bread. Mulftn connoisseurs should note that three varieties of muffins are offered at UB on a daily basis - blueberry, bran, aod tbe miscellaneous muffin. Popular muffiol in the third category include apple-cinnamon, pumpkin, banana, aod the re<:cntly introduced hit - choco0 late-walnut. �Allen Hall State University o f New York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 (716) 831 -2555 Non-Profit Org.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The effort, which has the · theme, "Pathways to Greatness," will be spread over the next several years. Introduced at a press conference and puhlic reception for prospective donors, this first University capital campaign in more than a quarter century is designed to raise additional endowment funds for enrichment of faculty resources, scholarships and fellowships, arts programs, and other ventures on campus. "State budgetary lines cannot meet all of the University's needs, nor can they provide the flexibility that is absolutely essential for the University to thrive," said UB President Steven B. Sample. "Joining private support with State dollars will permit the ,University at Buffalo to achieve its goal of becoming one of the nation's top 10 public research universities by the end of the century." for'Ihe Unwersity A atB~o Thno In , . _ , ' �October 22, 1987 .Volume 19, No. 7 Q Capital Drive From Page I The campaign would allocate: • S25 millio n to establish 25 end owed facu lt y chairs, • $7.5 million for graduate fellowships and research assistantships, • S5 million for undergrad uate scholars hips, and • $4 million fo r endowed professo rships in the new underg radu ate college. It also would provide : • $3 .5 million for programming fo r the soo n-to-be-b uilt Fine Arts Center, • S2 millio n for acquisitions for the University's art collectio n a nd 20th Century poetry collection. ~nd • $5 million fo r unrestncted endowment . mo ng the contributions so far ar~ a $1.1 mi llion gift fro m the Ba1rd A Fo undation. two anonymo us gifts of Sl million each. $800.000 collected during the School of Pharmacy 's IOOth Anni- ~ ve rsary fu nd -raising campaign last year, ~ and $500,000 each from alumni Mark ~ W. Welch and Jasmine Mulca hey. "' The Baird Foundation gift, made in ~ 1984 and designated fo r th e develop- t ment of a research park adjacent to the Amherst Ca mpus, was the .. ins pi rat i~ n fo r the cam paign," Mansfield ~ s~td . Although not related to the cam pa1gn per sc, the gift was the direct result of the camp aign's feasibility st ud y that ye ar , he added . The pharmacy school fund-raising effort is co nsidered the initial phase of the campai gn. University officials said . The first 18 months of the drive are aimed at on ly those donors capable of giving at least $25,000, cam~aign orga nizers said. About 2,000 md1v1dua ls will be solicited in that category. After that, ot her individuals will be asked for a minimum of S5 ,000 over the ne xt five years. UB's campaige goal of S52 million is relatively modest when compared with those of other major universities currently conducting capital campaigns, including Stanford at S 1.1 billion , Columbia at S500 million, Ohio State at S350 million, Notre Dame at S300 million , and Penn State at S200 million. However, there are several reasons why UB's goal is not larger, Joseph J . Mansfield, .!'resident of the UB Foundation (UB~). said : • As a public university, UB has never had a major fund -raising campaign; the last campaign was in the late 1950s and early 1960s, prior to the University's merger with SUNY . • U B does not have the long tradition of alumni involvement of other universities such as Michigan, Illinois, and Stanford. • UB does not have a strong spons program that attracts suppon from alumn i and others. " It's a matter of image and pride ," Philip J . Brunskill, director of development for the UBF, said . "The fact is, (a higher goal) would never be sustained by our supporters; at th1~t it would ove rwhelm them. A S$2~ mil' lion campaign is do-able with considerable effort on everybody's part. One hundred million dollars is not." Brunskill noted that Penn State includea in its S200 million goal the S30 million it raises each year through the Annual Fund. The UB goal is "over and above" what the University raises each year, he indicated. Further Penn State includes 22 campuses ' statewide, so its campaign would be comparable to the SUNY system conducting a campaign, he said. " It's hard to make .campus to campus, university to umvers1ty compansons," he said. T he U B campaign involves major community figures . It will be headed by National Campaign Chairman Northrup R . Knox , · president of the Buffalo Sabres and a member of the UBF board. Edwin F. Jaeckle, Seymour H. Knox , Sr., and Robert E. Rich, Sr., will serve as honorary chairmen. Jeremy M . Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer or Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UBF; M. Robert Koren, a local attorney and chairman of the University Council; and Robert G . Wilmers, chairman and CEO of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, will serve as co-chairmen. Ross B. Kenzie, chairman and CEO of Goldome, will chair the major gifts division. National chairman Knox noted th at the drive is important because the future of the Buffalo community is " inexorably intertwined with the future of UB. That's it in a nutshell ." Knox noted that private investment in the 1820s supplemented State funds and allowed the Erie Canal to come to Buffalo. "We are now faced with a similar opportunity t o help Bu ffalo through this campaign, a once-in-alifetime opportunity to help create a great university right here in our own backyard." The kickoff of the campaign Monday , the same day the stock market dived 508 points, recalled the university's second fund-raising drive in 1929. That campaign ended the day the stock market crashed, and many pledges were never fulfilled. However. Mansfield does noi foresee the same fate for this campaign. While there may be a temp~rary reacti o n by potentaal donors " th1s week. or th is month," he said he. doesn' see the cur- rent stock market situation having a long-term effect on the campaign. "This is a five-year campaign," he said . "The immediate impact of the fluctuation of the stock market is not apparent in historic fund raising. In the past 50 years, philanthropy bas had steady growth a nd has not been affeeted by wars. depressions or any President Sample (top) with campaign banner at Slee Hall. National chairman Northrup R.

It 's better to ha ve the backing of a big corporati on that can bet half a millio n dollars on litigation - and afford to lose. During UB 's In ve nt ors Week .

That shows that the patent examiner was aware of those patents, but issued the new patent in spite of them. This is critical because a patent can be overtu rned if it can be proved that the invention had existed previously, or is so close to something that already existed that it would be obvious, Sampie explained . If a certain prior art is listed on a ·pate nt, however, it's harder to use that prior art to ovenurn the patent in coun. The search of the prior C:elied on a ve ry archaic system at hat time, Sample noted. Patents we stored in what looked like shoe boxes. Each box represented a different category, such as timers, d is hwashers, and ovens. The patent examiner would thumb through • the boxes and keep a record or which ones he looked at. s the primary in,.ve nt o r of an elecA tronic d igi tal control syste m used in home appliances. he made possi ble those complicated coo king cycles fo und on microwave ovens. The device makes possible the to uch pads that control cooking, time delays that .allow yo u to defrost in the morning and cook in the evening, even sensors that know when food is done. The invention was conceived in 1967 when Sample was an assistant professo r in electrical engineering at Purdue University. Design and Man ufacturing Corporation (D&.M), a large manufacturer or dishwashers, offered him the "kingly" rate or $20 an hour to find a way to replaa the mqchanical switches that controlled the ..water valves and motor. The compan,y wanted something that w«_>uld cut ~own on arcing, Sample Sa.Jd, and w~eaning toward using liquid switches. Instead, Sample came up with something very, very different - an electronic digital control system. To understand the significance, you have to put yourse lf in a 1960s' mind-set, he told his aud ience - this was before the days or hand-held calculators and digital watches. The first model the researchers built measured about a foot square. .. Obviously, this device was very impractical," Sample said. It was a complicated device contai ning about 1,000 components, and the whole thing was hand-wired . It cost about SIO,OOO. But the researchers had faith that they would someday be able to get rid or the hand wiring and develop integrated circuits that contained 1,000 components and cost only SIO. (An integrated circuit is a tiny complex or electronic components and· thetr connections that is produced on a small piea: of material .) The state or the art is well beyond that today, Sample noted. Now yo u can get 10 times that many components on an integrated circuit that costs less than a dollar. "That was beyo nd our wildest • ~ dreams," Sample said . 3 ft er four years or effort , the researchers came up with a working model of thei r device that could fit ~ into a dishwasher. It included the touch t pads to select the cycle and turn the machine on or orr. After receiving the Sample patent, The researchers then applied for a D&M started a licensing program patent.

In its defense, Amana said That its device was not a custom-made circuit for appliance control like the Sample · device, but a computer. D&M saw it differently. The device that Amana used was called a microcomputer chip by the s'!eplier, Sample • said, because the final manufactunng step could crease something to be used in a personal computer. But what the manufacturer did for Amana in that final step was to create a dedicated, single purpose integrated circuit for a microwave oven. Aild that's what the Sample patent protected. Amana tried to show that a 1969 patent called tbe Arksey patent reodered Sample's . invention obvious . Amana had an advantage, Sample said , because they were making their case at a time when technology bad advanced. "By 1983, everything in the Sample ~ The congressman who invented this process didol think it through very well, Sample opined. It allows someone to challenge the patent on the basis or prior art not considered by the first patent examiner. The challenge goes before a second patent examiner. This examiner is often a younger person who doesn \ know what the state of the art was in 1971 , Sample said . To this examiner, the invention seems obvious. The -process is also unfair, he said, because the challenger is allowed to file documents in the beginning, but the patent holder is not. The examiner then issues an initial decision. By then, he is . completely biased, Sample said ; he's not a j udge trained to deal with adversarial situations. It was unprecedented that a case that had been heard in co urt would be opened for re-e x aminat io n, Sample added. O&M wanted the matter to be brought to trial before a j ury instead . It thought it would do better there because the jury would see the situation as a Japanese firm beating up o n a little Indiana firm, he said. The trial was rescheduled and postponed severa:I times. Meanwhi!e, the patent exammer came out wtth an initial op:oion in favor of Sharp. He was going to issue his final order on Aug. 10, 1986. B ut ihe trial started Aug. 4 and the re-exammat10n was put on hold, Sample noted. • "It's extraordinary in the U.S. to have a full-blown trial a second time on a patent," he commented. In the trial, Sharp contended that an earlier patent called the Brad win patent made the SB1pple patent invalid. The D&M team brought out a model of the Bradwin de~ice that would work in a steel mill, Sample said. It was huge. Sharp brought out a model that was small enough to fit into a microwave. But they had to admit that not everything listed in the Bradwin patent was contained in their model, he saJd. The model was tailored to help their case . Another point that helped Sample's side was that the patent was a commercial success. The couns have taken a turn for patent protection, he explained. The reasoning is that if it's been out there a long time, and people are paying money for licenses, how can you say the technolog y was obvious? The Sample patent was again victorious. D&M didnl want to collect a royalty from Sharp, though; it wanted to shut Sharp down, Sample said . Sharp wouldnl be able to sell microwave ovens or even rePlacement parts, if D&M had its way. " We felt we owed it to the people who bought licenses in good faith," Sample said . When that injunction came up. Sharp decided to negotiate and a hefty settlement was agreed upon , he reported. ven ' though no part or those E royalties belongs to Sample, he doesnl feel misused . He said he was Sample's patented invention makes possible touch pads that control cooking . Litigation over its use went on for a decade. patent was obvious," he pointed out. But D&.M was able to prove its case to the jury, and th~ company received half a million dollars and some properties, he said . fte r the> trial, D&M started ao awessive licensing program and up many companies that make n11crowave ovens. But one, Sharp, decided to invoke a new process called re-«:umination. A si~ paid generously for the time he devoted to defending the patent. He is now a director or the firm and gets a director's fee . However, all tbat doeso' ap proach even a small percentage or the royalties. " But the company takes all the risks," Sample said . " I was paid for every hour I put in." For inventors in SUNY, the situation is much better. The inventor gets 40 per cent or the gross royalties. Sample, who is pursuing two more inventions within SUNY, is very pleased with that. Being an inventor is very satisfying, Sample said. It's nice to lr.now that technology you devised has been incorporated into people's everyday lives. "As I walk tbrough a store, I know that I've changed tbe way hundreds of thousands, or millions, of people live," he said. 0 �a October 22, 1117 Volume 19, No. 7 oints A University biologist replies to both Mr. Rifkin & Mr. Chase!

Of course you don'· because neither the gentleman who introduced him, nor Mr. Chase in his article, took the time to tell us Mr .. Rifkin's background, so that we m1ght judge his credentials. . Mr. Rifkin graduated from. the University of Pennsylvama wtth a degree in economics in 1967. He further has a master's degree in international affairs from Tufts university. He has established a lobbying group called the Foundation on Economic Trends, an~ his job was reported in 1986 to pay h1m $45,000 per year.

As a man trained in honest presentation of the facts coupled with open inquiry from the scientific community, I am appalled by these types of despicable actS. This brings me to the next question. Does Mr. Riflc.in really encourage open inquiry? As Mr. Chase quoted Rifkin, "we must be able to question." Yet, as not only I but at least two others at only God (and only their God, to be that first seminar pointed out, Mr. sure) can rightfully create new life. Mr. Rifkin often doesn' answer questions. Riflc.in certainly appean to be a very Almost routinely questions etther must religious person.

Do we have any values?' he asks By JIM McMULLEN hat is the secret of life? When someone asked Ak:xandtt Haig that question, be decided it was marketing - creatin1 and selling a product to the public. Seems tbat's what bas kept Ronald Reagan's image un!Mnishcd, even amid the numerous scandals of his administration , accord ing to Tom Toles. Toles, UB alumnus and nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist for tbc Buffalo N~ws, spoke to a capacity crowd in UB's Moot Court on Oct. 16. His talk, illustrated with slides of his work, was titled '"The Secret of life." "The title was one of the biuest mistakes of my life," Toles joked, noting "There won' be any faith healings here tonight." Toles offered his views on a number of issues, most notably the question of morality in America today. "Values seems to be the inexpensive tam for morality," Toles oaid. '"The question today is whether we have any values left to teach kids." American values today include an abuodana: of short-term thinkin1 (economically and socially), materialism ("We're consumers now, not citizmsj, and corporate values (which demean and devalue the iodividual), be explained. Once you take away the values that aren' Wllu4bk, Toles remarked, you're left teaching children about honesty, fairness, and freedom . "Those are fine values," be noted, "but you can only have tbem until you go to work somewhere." The two values Americans can take witb tbem into adulthood today are television and sboppinJ!. That's marketinJ!, Toles said, and tbat 's tbe secret of life in America today, an era be characterized as "the last gasp of the United States' postWorld War II high-Dying materialist based value system." That era is coding, though.

John A. Thorpe, vice pro~ost for undergraduate education, said that he's found it helpful to have students on committees. Committees rarely have to take a vok; they usually reach a consensus. Ken Gage, the non-voting student member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, stated tbat it's rid iculous not to include students because they're the ones most affected by curriculum. They're not the maJonty on the committee and their input can be very helpful " I'm just trying to gain back ground we lost around 1969 when everybody voted on everything," Hochfield said. turning toward Gage. "You came her< to teain, and we came ben: ~o teach. Of course we have to consult wtth you, but we decide." " We're here to learn together, .. Thorpe said . " I'm constantly learning from students." 0 0 laude Welch, professoi"of po~tical science, suggested that the highly distinguished candidates aren't the problem. The cases of people who make lateral moves from peer anst.J.tutions can be post-audited. But if the appointment means an increase in raul<, or if the person isn' from a department considered above. or a peer to UB's, the PRB should reVJew it ahead of time. "Claude, you know that every candidate is (considered) the top candidllk," Masling replied. He noted that every item Welch mentioned is a subject for litigation.

But some universities don't , keep C UB spends $828,000 on,professional reclassification By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO B has spent all of the $828,000 it received for reclassification of professional employees, said OifT Wilson, assistant vioe president for human U res~!~be.Jth 1cieoces oenten twncd back $100,000 each, be noted. The reclassiftcation is a SUNY-wide atkmpt to creak a sensible series of job titles, Wilson said. No one's salary was decreased under tbe plan. or 556 professional employees at UB, 376 received increases, Wilson indicated . The plan calls for six "PR" ranks iastead of four. As people were moved into new ranks, many were given raises to bring them up to the new minimum salary in their ranks. At UB, 60 per cent of the money went for this purpose, Wilson said. The other 40 per cent of lbe money went to address inequities created by the process of shifting people, he explamed. . if an employee who F orhas example, been ben: only a short time received an increase brings him to that the same salary as a longtime employee with the same rank and title, the second employee could get a raise. Anyone: can appeal any part of his or her new classiftcation. But at a meeting last week, some people were concerned that appealing their salary would be futile if UB has already spent all of its money. There are soun:es of money to cover increases in salaries that result from appeals, Wilson said. One sowa: is through attrition, be indicated. n.e salary increases are retroactive until July, but won't be paid until December. People who le&Ye tbe UniYenity before December wonl get any money. That frees money up for people wbo stay. SUNY has also set aside $160,000 for the whole system to cover apPeals. Also, the money that the otber campuses turned back may be used, be said. Another . souree of funding is tbe Interdisciplinary approach would ~nefit By MARY BETH SPINA !though there's no cure for multiple sclerosis, the number one neurologic crippler of young adults, the quality of these patients' lives can be improved through an inkrdisciplinary approach, to treatment, says an offiCial of tbe National Multiple Sclerosis Society. S peaking to a pproxmiately 200 bcalth professionals at a seminar ScpL 16 at the Sheraton Airport Inn, Robert J . Slater, M.D., empluisized that tbe physician has tbe responsibility to establish the framewo rk within wbic:b memben of the bcalth team can assist tbele paticnll. In addition to physical symptoms which c:haracleriz.e the disease, Slater says that diffollties with spouses, and fear of rejection or abando nment can lead to further trouble. A patient may withdraw from participation in life and ultimately deYelop feelings of worthless- A ness. Professional. advice and care from nurses, physic:al and oa:upatiooal therapists, social workers and otben are o(tell --=-ary iJ1 onler for tbe patient to maintain a "wdbbess" rather than a "sickness" outlook, said Slater, consultant on service programs for the National Society. While it is still unclear how the mind specificially influences the body, negaltve attitudes and emotions have been shown to lead to psychological and physical illnesses, Slater noted. Certainly tbe patient with a chronic or progressive d isorder who feels overwhelmed by problems at home. at work, and in daily life can easily feel tbere are no options and giYe in to a feeling of loss of control. On the other band, many patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis are able to lead productiYe, uoeful, quality lives beeause tbey have worked at maintaining u positive an attitude as possible while also being realistic. awrence D. Jacobs, M.D., chief of L research at tbe Dent Neurologic lnstituk at Millard Fillmore Hospital and a UB .faculty member, told tbe · audience of encouraging n:sulll from his pionee~ studies with inkneron. He has used tnterferon in studies with patienll who baYe tbe exacerbatingremitting form of multiple ocleroois. An operating budget, Wi~n said. person can appeal his salary on grounds that it's not equitable. But several asked how they can do that. since tbey aren't sure what othen in th< same position make. Wilson sY.,pathized, but said that he won't post a list of everyone's salaries. The union has a copy of everything that was done, be added, lobbing the ball into tbe court of United University Professions. "If there's any doubt, appeal," said Albert Ermanovics, vice president/ professionals for UUP's Buffalo Center Chapter. Appeals can be submitted until the 0 end of tbe month, Wilson said. A MS patients even larger. multicenter study . is planned in tbe near future which will involve trials in which Beta interferon wiU be injected into these patients intravenously as weU as inltathecally (via lbe lumbar spine). His earlier studies, which involved introducing interferon, .a natural substance produced by c:db wben tbey are invaded by viruses, directly into spinal fluid reduced tbe number of flare-ups of the disease in many patients. But, be reported, tbere is aew evideoce that intravenous injections may be similarly eiJectiYe. In addition to Beta interferon, other drugs are CWTellUy being examiDed u pokntial treatmeDIS for multiple ~ roois, said Robei- M. Herndon, M.D., a neurologist with the Univenity of Rocbestcr Medical Center. Among these, ~ said, are Cytoun, lmuran and cyclosporin - all ol wbic:b have been shown to supprea tbe body's immune system, ACTH, a steroid, and syathetic stcroicfs such • pnxlnisone, which have long been used in treatment of acute attacb of M.S.

The one-year-old group plans to do that by cutting across depanmental bo undaries. urging all interested students and faculty to become involved in the forum the group provides. There's a lo t of feminist research being done at the University, and tbe · gro up .offers a structure to formaJjze the networking of scholars in the field '11 Raissiguier added. ' I? Toward that end, tbe group publishes ~ a dtrcctory of scholars doing feminist "' o research ben:. Under the auspices of the group ~ scholars can hold organized discussions of tbeir work. They can also find suppon for research that is hard to do tn mainstream academia.. where sometimes tben: an: "hidden agendas" whiCh discourage feminist scholarship, Raissiguier said. The group is also trying hard not to become "established," in tbe sense of becoming an academie spccialtl with the same form and character o otber disciplines, said Ellen DuBois, associa\C professor of history and American Studies and co-director of tbe group. n important tenet of the group is that it retain flexibility in research A and interests. Students organize activities. colloquia. and seminars in an attempt to avoid an "established wisdom" of elder scholars that would inhibit creativity in research. Instead, the group encourages scholars hip which broadens the frontiers of femin ist theory, such as analyzi ng the history of the women's movement and theory building in relation to the movement. As evidence of that attitude, the group will invite four new scholarsnew Ph .D.s or those just finishing their graduate work - to speak at its coofen:na: on new feminist scholanhip in tbe sprin&, railer than big name speakers whose views an: well-known. The idea is to search for high quality research among tbe tb=bold group of scholan, to create a balance between student and fiiCUity involvement, and to give recognition to those: working on tbe •cut!inJ edge" of feminist scholarship, Rllisstguier said. uHi. This is Judy , .. the recent women 's festival, was also organized and run mainly by graduate students in tbe group. ..The idea was to generate enthusiasm among st udents and present something which was related to feminist academic concerns, but was also fun llJld exd ting and really connected with the outside world - the community, entertainment, and pop culture - something really up," said Raissiguier. The group is also in contact with students and faculty at other local colleges. This is an attempt to get a now of information that extends beyond UB, to include the whole Buffalo area aca- Th~y all said their name ·is Judy - (standing 1-r) Ke.rr.

You cannot look at feminism in tbe University as just a discipline, which I think is a strength as weD as a weakness. It's more than that, because it's also linked to the women ·s movement. ... hich is not to say that men are W excluded. On the contrary, men arc invited and encouraged to panicipate, as an: students of the bard sciences. areas traditionally weak in both female representation an d femini st scholarship. ..There IS a definite need for feminist study at the University. We have a very high registration rate for courses in feminist. study. There is a real desire among graduate students • UB to undentaod and get some' training in femiaist theory," said Raiaiguier. That i..-, coapkcl with strong community interest, will belp grea11y in the aroup"s desire ro cstablisb a center for adva.oced feminist research at UB. "I'm confident that we can f'md permanent suppon for a center. "Group research will probably get a focus with tbe establishment of a center, but it will still cut across a broad interdisciplinary swath," said DuBois. The group has some d istance to go in esta blishing a format for dialogue on feminist sc holarship , but DuBois doesn' see that as a problem. "We're young, but we are tall<ing about malting the activity of the Univers it y more rel eva nt to half the population . "There's real ly little else that could bring so many people together." she added. 0 Computer thief tried for a prize, but won a fine By FRANK BAKER or the money be's paying in fines now, an unnamed, former UB s tudent probably could have bought himself enough towels to fill a locker room. That's because he's payi ng $1 ,006 wonh of restitution fines for illegally using a University computer. So where do the towels come in? To answer that question, some backtracking has to be done. To begin with, the ex-student in question, we11 call him X, used to have a computer account at the University. However, he failed to maintain a sufficient grade point avera~ during his career ben: and was dismtssed from UB last May. But, rather than completely severing ties with tbe school, X decided to maintain a computer account. "He created an account after he bad nunked out," said Frank Rens, manager of academic: computing. That's against the rules. F be next step in this strange scenario occurred in September wben tbe T Univenity sponsored a computer treasure bunt to get students, especially freshmen, oriented to campus computen and computi111 facilities. The way the treas ure hunt worked, said Rcns. was that students "'would 3nswer questions through the computer and win various prizes. They would then be sent a message, through the compt..tcr, telling them where to go to get the prize." That's when X got bold . Instead of just using the com puter accou nt for himself, X decided to enter the treasure hunt. He did so by answering a question correctly through another person's account. Using that person's name, be sent a message say· in(! his friend , X, would pick up the pnze. " When we received a message saying the winner would be unable to pic:k up the prize but would send a friend over to get it, we knew something was f'11hy," n:caUed Rens. "Why would somebody not pick up a prize on tbeir own?... illegally used it ," said Rens. " He's, now paying us S I00 a month." If the case bad gone to co urt. he co uld have been charged with unauthorized use of a computer - a class ·A· misdemeanor - and ~n sent to jail for a year," noted Public: Safety Supervising Officer David Frank. Even so, Rens noted the penalty for X was much more severe than it would be for a registered University student. " If a st udent hen: did it, he or she would probably be restricted from using the terminal for a week or so." 2222 n.-....------.. u.-- .. _ _, _ _ 2 -t: • A--""""' llocpoid porbtalot r<pe>nod ..

I( ..sense of tbe Ji>ccti.n&" vote at TIICiday's Faculty SenaJe meeting indic:aled tbat tbe answer is yes. Tbe issue arose because tbe proposed bylaws of the UDdergraduate college would allow profesSional staff and students to be voting members of tbe ~ lege's curriculum committee. · This committee is only advisory to tbe governing bodies of tbe college, but . those bodies alsQ have students and professional slafT as voting members. 1bese non-facully arenl in tbe majority. Ken Gage, the non-voting student member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, argued lbat students don l want 10 serve on committees if S lbcy c:aDl vote because lbcy feel lbat tbey have no voice. If students arenl Biven a vote, it's like sayia& lbat faculty wool pay Wntion if lbcy doul like what tbe students say, commented Charles Mitchell, assistant profeuor in geology. If one or two students Fl the filht to vote, it won l cban&e tbe fact lbat faculty make curriculum. It's a pbilosophical question, argucd Dennis Malone, pr-ofaao< of doctrical and computer en&inecring.

As Samuel Butler once said, "God cannot alter the past, but historians can." As the story was passed along over time bY word-<>f-mouth, certain aspects may have be<:n embellished, dates may have been altered , and persons who J"CR: not actually involved may have become associated with the event, Ebert explained. Ebert is trying to establish a time period for the final collapse of Thera which could be many years closer to the traditional date of the Exodus. The close_r the two times are, the more probable his theory. By establishing a sufficient time delay between the last big ash eruption of the volcano (traditionally dated between 1500 and 1400 B.C.) and the fmal col· lapse (which he theorizes may have occurred sometime between 1450 and 1296 B.C.), Ebert will htlp stn:ngtbeo a theory that \he " parting of the Red Sea" was in fact a natural phenomenon. is specific research involves dating the thin d arlc layer of ejecta (tephra) on top of 1bera to determine the span of time bet'"""n the last eruption of Thera and the dale of the vol· cano's final coUapse, Ebert said. That layer is composed of dark, coarse, basaltic material, unlike the much thicker deposition of light pwnil:e underneath that derived from the ash eruption circa I SOO B.C. Ebert h9pes to scientifically establish that the dark ejecta was de_POOilcd durin& a much smaller erupbon, a areat number of yean after that Jut Ilia uh eruption, duriq the lut life yean of the volcano. His methoda inclode the use or X-ray analysis (carried out by UB's Geology Department) and paleo-pedoloaical techniques, one oC Ebert's spccialtiea. 1be difficult research is bcin& carried on by many iodividuals from IIWIY different disciplines, Ebert noted. His own contribution to the study stems from personal interest and trainin& in soil science. 1be entire study involves the investiaation of several possibilities, without nccessarily comin& up with a dcfmiti..., answer, he added. "I am willin& to li..., with the diacrepancies in datin& and rccordin&.

Ebert said. · A scientific explan'ation for the phenomenon does not, however, discount the possibility of divine interveation, Ebert strcued. · · • A . miracle is an e...,nt that we cannot explain," be added.

Orthodox believeES date M oses' Exodus at 1296 B.C. Ebert won't argue with that d ate . He speculates, however, that the night of the Israelites out of Egypt took place over a great span of years . mostly before and possibl y after the traditional date , and that a number of se parate groups were involved . If the Exodus too k place over a g reat number o f yea rs. one or mo re groups cou ld ha ve been migrating at th e time of the final collapse of Th era . Ebert also theorizes that the path of their night did not bring them in co ntact with th e Red Sea. R esearchers speculate three possi ble routes for th e Exodus. One route wo uld bring the Israe lites in to direct co ntact with the headwaters of the Red Sea a nd the Sinai desert. This route is co nsidered by so me to be the least probable because of the difficulty of the travel and a lack of availab le water on that path. l The two other routes, more li kely than the first , wou ld bring the trave lers along the northern Egyptian coastline on the via maris (the way of the sea), an established trade :oute on the coast o f the Mediterranean. Here they would come into contact with many reed covered marshes where the Bitter Lake and Lake Timsah exist today. "These lakes offered shelter and some 'bitter' but usable water for travelers,.. Eben said . The incorrect translation of the Hebrew words Yam Suph. which have been taken to mean "Red Sea ... has ca used the confusion. The words literally tra nslate as "'sea of reed s, .. he said .

T he waters may have receded in anticipation of a ts unami caused by the colla pse o f a vo lcano in the Aegean Sea , Ebert theorizes. A ts unami , o r seis mic sea wave (often mi stak e nl y called a tidai wave). tra vels in the o pen sea at speed.s o f 300 to 400 m ile.:' pe r h o ijr.

A tsunami wave. traveling with tremendous speed (about 400 mph) and energy, will cau se a great d eal of water to move away from the s horeline. and for an ex tended period of time - perhaps for as lo ng as 20 minute1. Once the wave- reaches the 'shore. its force must be dissipated so meh ow. In th e case of a tsunami , a wall of water with average heights of 30 to 40 feet (they occasionally reach upward s of 100 feet) crashes down o nt o the s hore, nooding the coast and neighboring in la nd areas, Ebert said . B ut what wo uld have caused such a seis m ic di s turb ance during the Exodus? The final co llapse o f Thera might have. Ebert believes. Thera was once an impressive and quite act ive volcan o. The remai ns of this volcano comp ri se the present-day Aegean Sea isla nd group known as Santorini . A violent crater eruption o f the volcano wouldn't have been enough to cause a tsu nami because the bulk of the force would be directed upward . not outward , Ebert theorizes. However, the final collapse of Thera's volcanic chamber would cause a tsunami. As cool sea water rushed into the collapsing chamber, it would come into contact with the molten rock at the volcano's core, Ebert speculates. The explosion associated with the collapse would have set up an enormou s shock-wave, creating a powerful tsuna mi , he said . The tsunami, traveling from the Aegean to the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean, would reach the area of the Bardawil peninsula within two and a half hou rs. The trough created by the recession of the waters from the shore would have given a gr~up of fleeing Israelites o See Rod Soa, page 15 (Top of page) Path ways of destruction radiate out from Thera in the Aegean Sea. One possibility is that tsunamis resulting from the Minoan eruptions may have given rise to the biblical parting of the Red Sea.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Thorpe, vice provost for undergraduate education. The Undergraduate Initiative is a SUNY-w1de budget enhancement of $15 million. Like the Graduate and Research Initiative, it is to be a five-year plan. UB is ask. _ ing for $1.7 million for 1988-89. In particular, UB's request keys m on the va n ous aspects of the undergraduate college: freshman semmars, a new program that began this fall ; a new approach to general education, including world civi lization courses that may start next year, and an interdisciplinary scie nct course for non-majors, he said.

"The timing of the Undergraduate Initiative couldn~ be better," Thorpe said, because it supplies some of these badly needed funds . There are other pressing needs, and it is hoped that they can be addressed in later years of the mitiative, he no~ed. U B is targeting things that are already in the planning stages beca~ there's a strong case for more fundrng in those areas. But the time factor also played a role.

D Don't underestimate alcoholism's power, scientist urges By JIM McMULLEN hose· of us who are not addicted underes timate the power of alcoholism, Enoch Gordis, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in Washington, said here last week. Alcohol dependency dominates the addict's thoughts,- .feelings, and actions, Gordis pointed out. Gordis' Oct. 9 lecture, "National Perspectives on Alcohol Research," was presented by UB's Center for Research on Alcoholism and Alcohol Use. Accordi'\8 to Gordis, the dysphoria, or dis-ease, which alcoholics feel in the absence of alcohol is quite real to them. What causes that dysphoria, he said, is the current subject of major alcoholism research. T T hat research is turnina more and" more to the field of genetics. More specifically, studies of ·p opulation genetics sugest an inherited susceptibility to alcoholism. TbiJ discovery has led scientists to turn to studies of molecular tiiolo.r in an attempt· to find ·'-¥ genetic.locauon for Alcoholism. This research is aimilar to that bein& p11rsued in other areas of behavioral medicine, such as with depression disease in the Amish. Alcoholism research is hampered, however, by the fact that no one is quite sure what they're looking for. In sickle cell anemia research, for example, Gordis said, scientists can more easily locate the gene responsible for bodily dysfunction because they know what the gene's function is. ... In our area it isn't so easy, because alcoholism is an illness or behavioral disorder defined by a cluster of symptoms which people don' agree on." The defmition problem has importance for everyone in the scholarly community working on alcohol research. Once the fuzzy description of alcoholism is cleared up, providing a more WJ>rkable definition of the responsible gene's purpose, scientists will more cas· ily be able to focus on finding that gene. Gordis believes the gene's purpose is to cause a dysfunction uniting the emo-· tiona! and appetitive factors in alcoholseelcing behavior. In the absence of a chemical test for alcoholism, though, his belief remains a gamble, be noted. Neuro.scientists are d~awn into alcoholism research in seeking the nature of the dysfunction. Since the brain functions by a complex networking of interlocking neurons, it is likely that the gene scientists are searchinll for is something which affects not a stngle neurotransmitter, but entire networks of them. ther factors may also play an 0 important role in alcohol addit>tion, Gordis said. Among those are perhaps human language and culture. Another may be some psychological or physiological step, as yet undiscovered, between the initial use of alcohol with an initial reward for its use and the state of addiction. These and other factors play a k~y role tn determining addiction and the extent of addiction. These conceniS in turn involve the nature and extent of treatment for the alcoholic. The complexity of interaction of these factors make it dilfiCult to devise a scale of severity for alcoholism. Most notably, "the. scale should question hc;~w much you Dl1SS alcohol when you don' have it," Gordis said. • . Knowing the answer to that question could play a key ' role in determinin -. treatment. ordis noted that treatment of bac· terial infections depends on three factors: isolating the type of infection. determining the individual's sensiuvlly. and matching the patient with the proper antibiotic. In alcoholism treatment, all three steps are in q11estion . A proper evalua· tion of the individual's sensitivity and dependency, however, combined with a determination of the nature and loca· tion of the gene which causes the dys· function, should help to make treat· ment more successful. . Research is further complicated by the fact that in alcoholism, many ran· dom historical events in tbe individual's li(e play an important role in. the devel· opment of dependency, OordiS said .. That in tum draws mo~ dtsctphnes into the study, treatment, and preven· tion of alcoholism. Tbe study is truly interdisciplinary. "What's nice about Buffalo's center, in ita RUCefll form, is that you have the opportunit~ to stan thinking about questiona .like u- becaule you've got the talent in 10 many areas and the col· lcgial relationallip1 arc already deve- G loned."

The time-out bas been called for the doctoral program only. Master's students have been admitted, he said. But Albany defines the beginning of deactivation as the ftnt date that students are no longer accepted into a program, said John Boot, chairman of that the Faculty Senate. There are must be followed, including sending a letter to Albany. That's a formal deactivation, said Associate Provost Kenneth · Levy . There's also a local, less formal deactivation that has unclear J?rocedures. Last year, Levy was mterim dean of the School of Health Related Professions when the Department of Health Behavioral Sciences dwindled down to three faculty members ~ At that time, be asked what the p r ; ! was for suspending admissions u til the department could be rebuilt. "I didn' get very cle advice," Levy said. There doesn' seem to be a specified process, be said, ad!linJI tb~t George dido' get very much adVIce, e1tber. "The Council of Deans as a group seemed unclear on what the process should be," Levy said. rules n a very controversial move, last semester George halted all graduate admisaions in Statistics for fall. Master's students were later admitted. EverybOdy agrees tba! the attempt to bait programs in the Department of Statistics 'hould have been done differently, Levy · said. He indicated that &~tempts are being made to rect1fy the lltt!&llon. I The problem was that the old governance structure in the faculty was slipshod, Levy sail! . New bylaws have been drafted and a new governance structure is being Set up. "The way scientists operate, they seem less interested in governance than others are ," George said. Bylaws existed, but there were certain parts that were obsolete and no one followed, the dean said. And the bylaws included nothing on deactivation or putting a program on bold. Tbe new governin& body, the FNSM Council, is composed of the"' faculty senators from . Natural Sciences and Mathematics. It's a formalization of a group that already existed, tbe dean said. George said be decided to establish this group because he noticed that the faculty members who agreed to serve on the Faculty S;enate were very good people. And smce scientists don' want to be bothered with governance, this plan is advantageous because it relies on people who have already been elected. This new governance body wiU examine the issues that relate to Statistics as a department, Levy said. Tbe blue ribbon panel or ad hoc committee set up by the provost will examine only the issues that relate to statistics as a dtseipline. n terms of the department, there have been few changes, George said. Here's where it stands: • Admisaions to the Ph.D. program have been halted. • John T. Ho of Physics and Astronomy is the interim chair of the department and is director of research and graduate studies in the dean's · office. • George said be bad asked the faculty in Statistics if they wanted a spokesman or ombudsman, but they haven' come forth with anyone. (Ho bad advocated deactivation while the I facultl, members opposed it. The idea ~J all:~:% if.!es~~ ~h": ~~.~:: 8 didn' represent the faculty .) In response to a question on why the dean wanted to halt programs in the first place, George explained that the issue is the f~~~:ulty members' research. Their training of undergraduates is good, he noted. "But the real issue is that we're a research university," George said, "not Buff State." U the faculty members are not at .the forefront of their discipline, they have no blisiness training graduate students, he said. You can point to people in the University who are not as good as the people in StatistiCs, George admitted. But those people can hide behind the stars in their departments. In Stattstics, the areas of research, publishing, giving talks, and applying for grants are mediocre, he said. here is a certain amount of sul>T jectivity in that judJ!!Ilent, George granted, but very few people in his faculty have told him that they vehemently oppose what be is doing. There IS no strong nucleus of faculty members in the Statistics Department, the dean said. He did try to recruit a new cliairman, making a very good offer to a strong candidate, but was unsuccessful. "That was a turning point for me," George said . . Were there enough efforts in hiring faculty, George asked out loud. "Probably not," he .,..wered. The departlnent probably needs 10 people and has only seven, he said. The faculty members offer their courses on a rotating basis. Apd the administrative work., ·such as filling out the "blue and whites," is shared by only a few faculty members. Tbey'lc far from lazy, Geo"" said, but this is a racarcb univers1ty and they should be doing more research. Not everyone does research at the cutting edge, Boot countered. But those people aren' located aU in one place as is the case in Statistics, George responded. Some redirection of effort might give them more time, but they want to stay involved in teaching the lower division courses, Levy said. George was asked why the teaching load couldn' be reduced. "No one is teaching more than two courses a semester," George replied. "Tbey have plenty of time to do research." There is a chance that the department can be rebuilt, the dean said. "I don' see this as a one-way street," George commented. He noted that a certain faculty member, for .the first time in eight years, submitted a proposal for a grant. That's good , but not enough, he indicated . "I would like to see people in the Statistics Department become more active, to get excited about their discipline," he said. "I don' see that yet. • Boot also asked again about the return of application fees. Since admissions were suspended to tbe doetoral program, people who applied to that program should get their money back, h~ argued. George noted that the subject bad never been brought up to him before and agreed that the money should be refuoded. fter George bad left, one faculty member asked whether the rules say that a dean can decide to put a temporary halt to admissions. MJt was done to us covenly,,.. stated a f~~~:ulty member from another discipline who aslu.,. not to be identified.

In general, he continued, .. these critics dismissed science fiction as adolescent escapism ... After the ridicule came a period of .. confusion,; especially when the technologies discussed in science fiction became realities. For awhile, the focus was on the seemingly predictive power of science fiction. But, said Jonas, .. science fictio n has little to do with technological crystal ball gazing ... Rather, he said , science fiction is a way to ask why, to pose questions about our own limited perspective on the world . and is - much more, said Jonas. The first science fiction buffs were exceedingly loyal and read voraciously, as is the case today. They were not necessarily knowledgeable about science, but they did not fear science, Jonas added . They were mostly young and male, and their preoccupations with rocket building and other arcane pursuits were often ridiculed by unsympathetic neighbors. Among the early science fiction readers were sev- eral who would muter the genre. They included Isaac Asimov , Arthur C . Clarke, and Frederik Pohl.

And while science fiction was populated with computer-like beings, they were usually huge calculating machines that existed thousands of yean in the future, or they were "waJk.ing ~ech:rni­ cal men" who functioned as s1dek1cks to the hero. " Basically, they (the early science fiction writers) missed the idea of miniaturization ( in computers), " Jonas said.

In short, said Jonas, science fict ion borrows "the outlook of science to do a certain lUnd of storytelling." It benefits from the "shared authority" of science. just as the cosmology of the period gave Dante and Milton a believable context f.o r their writings. "To take these flights of imagination and make them into literature, write rs and their readers need this authority. which can be science. Science does not determine the purpose. You can ha ve science fiction based on science as an authority, which is comic book stuff, such as 'Star Wan.' You can also have a fine literary product or best-seller material, all based on an authority that is science.

University Services EDITOR'S NOTE: Even if you once knew what each vice president s j ob was, the recent University reorganization has probably left you thoroughly muddled. This article is the first in a series that will explain the responsibilities of each vice president and the provost. By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO T he key th ing to ..:member about Robert J. Wagner, vice president for Universi ty services, is that he's now UB's chief business officer. Most of th e student services that used to report to him, such as admissions and student affai", have been transferred to the provost. Wagner does continue to oversee student finances and records. but that's because two of that office's three functions have to d o with money, he ex plai ned . While Wag ner has reli nquished some duties, he has taken on more in other areas. Triuered by the intention of Vice Pr.:s1dent Edward W. Doty to retire, several of the business functions have already been transferred from finance a nd manageme nt to Universit y services. Eventually, the ot her areas under finance and manageme nt will be transferred to Wagner. Another change in Wagner's area is that informatio n technology - a term that encompas se s eve r ything from co mputers to high-tech telephone sys· terns - is now grouped together. There's also a growing .connection between information techn olo~ and the libraries, Wagner noted , so 1t's use· ful to have them both ..:porting to the same vice president. Wagner noted that he wants the people who report to him to exercise a lot of independence in decision-making. Here 's what University services now encompasses: • Financial and Campus Services Leonard F . ·Snyder is associate vice president and controller. He oversees the busi ness offt.ces: payroll, accounts payable, travel, accounting, and tbe Faculty-Student Association. Student finances and records, which used to ..:port directl y to Wagner, now also ..:ports to Snyder.

Another change is that a portion of the campus services unit now reports to Snyder, and a portion remains in fi nance and management.

The new &{Ouping reflects what is happening at ot her large uni versities. Wagner said. Because of the co mple x technology now being used wi th telephone systems. telecommunications is bein~ grouped with co mput ing instead of w1th the business office.

They're ..:placing the equipment Ma Bell used to provide with sophisticated equipment that will carry not only voice, but compl.rter data and sometimes video. U B has hi..:d a telecommunications specialist to help plan for a coove,.ion to new equipment that will probably begin in 1990, Wagner said . Office telephones would have both voice and data capabilities and classrooms would be able. to receive video. • Libraries The only thing tha t 's c hanged in ihis area is Barbara vo n Wahlde's title.

Work on the site at Sweet Home and Chestnut Ridge roads, which is being done by Ciminelli Development Company, is expected to be completed by June 1988. The two-story, S3.4 million incubator, similar to o ne in Buffalo managed for the Universi ty by the Western New York Technology Development Center (TDC), will offer fledgling companies low-rent research , development and manufacturing space, plus technical assistance. It also will provide space at or near market rates for more mature companies that want to locate near the University , and for University research activities. The TDC incubator , located in two small. university-owned buildings at 2211 Main Street, Buffalo, is close to capacity and is limited in scope for incubator would be geared toward companies aligned with the disciplines located at Amherst, including engineerco mpanies requiring large work areas. ing and pharmacy.

Donahue explained that the WNYEDC has launched a program of tec hnical assistance which makes available at low cost to se lected industries the experti se available at various New York State uni ve rsities and private cons ult ing firm s. The goal is to provide a process that will enable Western New York companies to identify, analyze and implement im provements to a broad range of business operations and help them to com- pete effectively in the world market. UB's Center for Industrial Effectiveness (TCIE), Buffalo State College, and , Niagara County Community College are among the participating institutions. Addressing a meeting of the local chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers on Oct. 8, Donahue ex pressed the philosophy that gave rise to the program. " Manufacturing created all the wealth of this country," he said. " Unless you can produce and sell, you have no wealth to spread." Donahue argued that manufacturing is "the greatest social development program that any nation, state, or people has ever created." Until receptly, the technical assistance program has been in its experimental / developmental stage, Donahue said. Thursday's meeting marks the frrst time WNYEDC has been able to bnng the plan before the r_nanufacturing , community as a read1l y ava1lable resource, said Donahue. rof. Colin Drury, executive director of TCIE at UB, was on hand to describe in detail the kind of service his center. is able to provide. "Our objective \s really to be a.gat~­ way into UB for the commun1ty, satd Drury. "We are here to match the needs of manufacturers wifh the skills that are available." Drury explained that TCIE draws on the resources of the schools of Engineering and Management. Th~ departments of industrial, mecljanical, and electrical engineering are concerned with manufacturing issues ranging from the development of robot technology to · the introduction of computer technology into industry. The manageme)lt school can pro:vide expertise in such areas as strategic planning, market analysis, labor relations, and management information systetll5.

For the same reason , however, the services are not available to every company on demand . ••Local and state government do not want to put money and time and resources into a Company that isn't going to last the year out anyway, " explained Drury. "They want to target companies where a fairly small amount of outside ex~rtise is going to make a significant difference to the competitiveness , and the effectiveness of that company in the world market." he first stage of TCIE involvement T operations. In Western New York, in a company is an analysis of its Drury sees a fairly typical pattern. ""You see the same scenario over and over. again," said Drury. "A company bas been manufacturing a product for a long time - it's a mature product. Something which is available from other manufacturer'S . . .. Suddenly a . small company that nobody's ever.heard of in South Korea comes in with a better quality product at 40 per cent of the price. And this comes as a real surprise." According to Drury, many companies in Western New .York produce socalled "mature products." Part of the TCIE process is to assist a company to forestall trouble before it's too late. "If the cm:npany had a few million dollars lying around they'd be able to modernize," said Drury.

It is for precise ly this . rea so n t~~~ Barb3:ra C hri s t y, presi dent, C1v tl Servace Employees Local 602, is encouraging members to d onate to this year's drive. "The co ntribution t h e University mak es to SEFA / United Way can help to make a difference in th e quality of life of ot hers who might need hel p at so me tim e, fo r so me reaso n. during this co min g year," she said . ' " In addition, generous giving by our empl oyees can help th e' Uni versi ty set a sta ndard to be match ed hopefully by o th er instituti ons and industries in the a rea Last year, U B ranked seve nlh among 57 large un iversi ti es in terms of the amount of money raised to supp ort th e Unit ed Wa y.

Information about SEFA wi ll be available in each employee's department through o ut the campaign , which ends tomorrow. 0 Drive is in home stretch, leaders are optimistic ith one week remaining in the 1987 SEFA campaign, organizers of the annual fund-raiser, which benefits the United Way, last Friday were pleased with the results and op timistic that the University will reach its goal. .. l think it's going very well. We're on the home stretch," said Bonnie Bul· loug_h , dean of nursing and coordinator of this year's drive. " We have a group of dedicated volunteers who are making sure that everyone turns in a card, and that's helping tremendously." She noted that organizers are especially pleased with efforts that have been made to seek contributions from people who previously have not contributed to SEFA. " We've really broadened our University family ." Bullough noted that one of the goals of the 1987 campaign was to re ach o ut to people who work on campu s but aren't employees of the University. " We're getting good response from the bookstore," she said, .. and we're very excited about the student campaign," which includes two fund-raisers, to be held this fall, co-sponsored by the Office of Student Life. The . first will be a chicken wingeating contest, the United Way Wingathon, to be held at noon on Friday, Oct. 23 in Capen Lobby. "We're trying to lay the groundwork for a traditiOn," said Ed Brodka, Student Life Program assistant. "'We're doing this so that fund-raisers will be continued in the future." W C <Hponsoied by the undergraduate Student· ' Association, the United Way Wingatbon will ask participants to solicit pledges for the number of wings they are able to eat during the contest time limit. Local restaurants will be contributing chicken wings for the contest, Brodka said. Wingathon sign-up tables will be set up in Capen Lobby beginning Monday, Oct. 19. A donation box will be available during the fund-raiser for addi· tional contributions. • " We want to emphasize that the Wingathon is less of a competition than a fund-raiser in which the community and students are contributing to the good of the United Way and all the agencies it supports," Brodk.a said. The second event will be a marathon basketball a nd vo lleyball tournament, co-sponso red by Clifford Furnas Col· lege, which will be held from 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 to 3 p.m. Sunday. Nov. 8 in Alumni Arena. Teams, comprised of students, faculty, and staff, will play 15 minute games once each hour throughout the night. The entry fee for each team is a minimum of $75 for both events or $50 for one eve nt, and proceeds will benefit the United Way. Registration forms are avai lable at 452 Fargo Quadrangle and all Help Center locations . Prizes will be awarded. "This type of fund-raiser to benefit the United Way is being done at a number of schools in the country," said Joe Kralcowiak, director, Office of Stu· dent Life. "Other schools have a youth division. It's important to get something started this year at UB." He added that fund raisers to benefit the United Way will be held on an annual basis in the future. . 0 ......- R1987 SEFA ...-.- 11117 ·~ ·--·• I •u. •• ...

The building. formerly known as Engineering East, is now called Gregory B. Jarvis Hall in honor of the UB al umnu s ~ho wa s killed a board the space shuttle Challenger on Jan. 28, 1986. During Monday's ceremony, Jarvis' widow, Marcia. returned the UB flag which Jarvis had carried with him aboard the ill-fated space venture. She a lso gave the University a plaque from NASA. The flag, as well as a bronze bust of Jarvis, presented to UB by the Senior Class of 1987, will be displayed in the newly dedicated hall. At the ceremony, University President Steven Sample recalled Jarvis' 1985 visit to UB in which he delivered the co mmencement address to engineerIng students. " We were touched by his request for the flag," remembered Sample. "After the tragedy, we felt a stronger bond toward him and received numerous s uggestions for honoring him .. before finally settling on this one. After Sample's remarks. Paul Richie, a c hildhood friend of Jarvi s's and a classmate of his at U B, and Mrs. Jarvis reflected on their associations with Jarvis. Both remembered him as a happy, go- luck y, ye t fiercely competitive and hard working individual. .. 1 remember during our senior year '" high school we were both in the sc hool play," said Richie. " Greg only had a few lines, so he would always change them a little, just so we would stay on our toes. "Greg was also a competitor," he co ntinued . " He probably wei(\hed 160 pou nds soaki ng wet, but he sttll played bot h offensive and defensive guard on the high school football team. Our coach said it took intestinaJ fortitude to do that. Greg certainly proved him right. " Richie concluded his remarks by saying, "Of all the memorieJhave of Greg, the fondest is of h ing a good friend ." M rs. Jarvis, a 1968 UB g aduate, recalled Jarvis as a prankster, but a lso as a dedicated and hard working person. "Many times people in the public eye are remembered as being perfect," she said . "Greg was not a perfect person. " He was a hard worker, but was seld o m formal at work," Mrs. Jarvis said . For instance, .. he would se nd 'Greg-o' grams' instead of memorandums. " He was also very caring," she said. " Greg always took time out to help the younger engineers if they had a problem. When he was working on a project, it wasn '1. his project, it was the group's. "Greg was very proud to represent UB, and it meant more than anyone will ever know for him to give that co mmencement address." Born in Detroit on Aug. 24, 1944, Jarvis grew up in the Central New York town of Mohawk. After graduating from Mohawk High School be entered UB, receiving a bachelor of scie nce degree in electricaJ engineering in 1967. After cotppleting his master's degree at Northeastern University , Jar vis joined the Air Force's Space Division. Then, after his four-year stint in the service, he landed a job with the Hughes Aircraft Co.'s Space and Communications Group in 1973. " He lilted his job at Hughes very much," said Mrs. Jarvis. . Because of his interest in space, Jarvis decided to apply for one of the two payload specialist slots available to Hughes employees on upcoming shuttle flights : He was chosen out of a pool of over 600 applicants. . Originally assigned to a March, 1985, flight, Jarvis was bumped off the roster. He was rescheduled for August of that year, then for Christmas, only to be bumped again. He then was aSsigned a mission aboard the Challenger, which was o riginally sched uled to fl y Jan. 22, 1986. Before the aborted mission, which would cause his and his six fellow crew-members' deaths, Jarvis reflected on life at U B and his chance to become one of the privileged few who have flown in space. " I th o ug ht it (U B) wa s a great school." he told an inte.rviewer. "It was academically challenging and rewarding. This (taking the UB flag into space) is a small tolten I can perform for the way they unlocked my future. " I can't possibly fathom what being in space will be like," Jarvis added . .. It 's a chance of a lifetime - an adventure which few today can experience. " h ile Jarvi s never reali zed h is W dream of fl ying in space. that Marcia Jarvis (right) and President Sample display the UB flag Greg Jarvis carried on board the space shuttle Challenger. doesn't mean anotber UB alumnus won't. Thanks to funds from the UB Foundation , the first ever Jarvis Memorial Scholarship was awarded by George C, l!ee, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, at Monday's ceremony. The award, worth $1000, was given to Bryan Hahmann, a senior in aerospace engineering. ..The winner was chosen," Lee said, according "to his potential to, as Greg Jarvis once said, ' reach for the stars'." Jarvis Hall is a two-story, 42,000sq uare-foot, brick structure that was built in 1981. It houses the Departm~nt of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the Hydraulics and Coastal Engineering Laboratory, a Wind Tunnel and Turbulence Research Laboratories, the Center for Management of Toxic Substances and Hazardous Wastes, and undergraduat e laboratories involved in the study of flu id and thermal sciences, aerodynamics, and microcomputers. 0 UB will collect parking fines starting on Monday standard SIO fine by mai l or in perso n By SUE WUETCHER at the Office of Student Accounts at Hayes Annex B on the Main Street B will collect fines from Cam pus and 232 Capen Hall on the parking tickets issued on Amherst Campus, said Wayne Robincampus beginning Monday son, assistant director of public safety. under a new systein that U niPayment should be made by certified versity officials say will increase check, money order, cash, or personaJ revenue and ensure equal enforcement checks, Ro binson said, adding that of parking regulations on the two cash should not be used when paying campuses. by mail.

By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he Graduate Student Employees Unio n (GSEU) plans to appeal a decision that ruled that graduate and teaching "'I don' think you can separate them that easily," McGreevy said. • In the beginning of the document. PERB describes how the jobs are releva nt to the degree programs. In the ass istants are primarily students, not deci sio n, however, McGreevy said , employees. The decision by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) stymies the GAs in SUNY in their attempt to PERB rules that whether the 'job and degree programs relate is subjective and should be disregarded. organize a labor union. wllether a job benefits a student academically, McGreevy argues. Students aren' allowed to take the same class twice, but they are allowed to do the same job twice. A student may learn from a job the first semester, but after T 1 The students don' know what to expect from an appeal "because we expected to win this one," said Timothy McGreevy, former vice president of the GSEU who was a teaching assistant at U B for three and a half years. The graduate students had hoped that precedents in other states would sway the decision in their favor. Graduate students have unions at the univers ities of Michigan , Wisconsin , Oregon, and Florida, as well as at Rutgers, CUNY, and the University of Toronto, he said . GAs ·and TAs at the University of California at Berkeley recently achieved the first legal step to ward forming a union. The case comes down to giving graduate assistants the rights they deserve as workers1 McGreevy argues. "When you have a job, you should have some rights ," he said . "T he employers shouldn' hold the entire deck of cards." Graduate students who hold jobs outside the University at places like Burger King ha~e rights, he noted. " It shouldn' be a disadvantage to work for SUNY," he went on. cGreevy sees the PERB decision as political. "(Govenior) Cuomo, who is ultimately responsible, thinks we're more expendable than the groups or agencies that oppose us," the graduate student said. "He doesn' care if we get mad - we're not that effective. We can' vote· him out of office." There are several problems with the decision, according to McGreevy: • - The beginning of the d®ument describes bow the GA /TA system runs and acknowledges that graduate assistants have a dual role: as students and as employees. Yet in tbe decision, PERB statca that one role, the stuc!ent M There are indeed ways to measure four, five, or six semesters in a row, he's "just performing chores." • PERB didn' want to do a cost analysis of who benefits more from the GA system, tbe graduale assistant or the University, because it depends on whom you ask. "But it"s quite quantifiable in dollars and cents," McGreevy contends. He added that he "s critical of the system, not of individual deans or departments. "If you can hire someone at a quarter of the price, that's what you"re going to do," he said. P ERB ruled that graduate assistants are primarily students because: I . assistantships are awarded only to students in good academic standing; 2. academic failure results in loss of the assistantship no matter how good a job the student is doing, and 3. t!le amount the student is paid doesn' depend on how well be or she does the work. "It's Shocking to- me that we dldn' get the minimum - recognition as employees of the State. doing a job for SUNY," McGreevy said. The money GA~ receive is for work they do; it"s not a gift, he added. McGreevy noted that it took almost three years for PERB to reach a decision in this case. The original petition was submitted at the end of 1984. he said. · The idea of a union for graduate students has been kicking around since the early 1970s.

The members of the bus tour began to split up after a few days of rest, but before that happened we all got together for a few nights of partying.

"We .are entering. the bio-technical way of life," according to Rifkin who contends that genetic engineerjng has ethical and environmental dimensions that have -hardly begun to be examined. Rifkin, an internationally known environmentalist, social activist, and opponent of ~netic engineering, spoke at three semmars on campus Oct. 7. His visit was sponsored by the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Associations at UB. "Come on Jeremy, lighten up! You'd have been opposed to the wbeel," Rifkin joked of himself. "Haven' we been breedin$ and domesticating animals for a long lime? lsn' this th< arne thing?" Answering his own qual ion with an emphatic "No!," RifKin went on to desen be ~xperiments takirlg place thrpughout the country, .far different from those undertaken in t.he name of any earlier technology. t the University of Pennsylvania for example, be reported, the gene for human growth hormone has been added to the genetic material of mice reaulting in "super-mice" which reach sexual maturity twice as fast as normal, and grow to be twice the usual size. "Just think, • oaid Rifkin, i( the genes of a cow are put into a salmon, "no.,., you can r~ally catch tbe big one! "Sure we could always crou a donkey and a bone to get' a mule, but before now we coUld . never croa a hone and a dandelion to·get anything," ' said Rifkin. Genetic eftliueering makes this pouiblc, be cbarged. As a reault of recent regulation, it is - aJao now· pouiblc to patent a living A tltina. . "Any animalge~ enfi~ ,is considered a human mvent~on, laid RifkiD. "Alter one gene o.f_ a pi& and you can patent tbe whole animal. oo0qe replatory stroke, .DO public diacuJiion, and we've rcdaced the animal kinadom to ~ CCIIDIIIeldlol com- modity - like a toaster, like a tennis ball. Our children will grow up thinking of living things as patented products. Is that the !rind of world you want our kids to grow up in?" Rifkin asked. It's definitely not the kind of world Rifkin wants to leave for future generations. He emphasized that if this future is to ~ ivoided we must be willing to queshon some of our most basic values. B esides its being ethiclllly questionable, .RifKin asserted that genetic engineering is downright dangerous: "I believe that . your children and your children's children will decide the life or death of this species. It will be decided by our willingness to adopt a new world view." . Rifkin explained that what he calls our "world view" is a set of values and assumptions that has been shaped in part by such scholars as Bacon, Descartes, Darwin, Locke, and Newton. "They shook the world. They remade nature~ They changed consciousness," said Rifkin, adding, "but they were only human beings. They ·ate. They drank. They ·took a shit. We can respectfully cballcnge them." In the 17th century, Bacon wrote that knowledje is power. Rif)cin pointed out that until the atomic age, people generally felt that the more power you could amass, the more teCUrC you were. "We've amaued a lot of power since Bacon. How many of you feel safer because we've harnessed tbe atom in nuclear power plants?" Riflrin. uked. ifkiD _ . Fnetic eJIIineering u the · llep in a 400-year effort to lord power over IUilurc. R Those involved in ihe development of this technology point to the amazing benefits it can provide. "Shall we turn a deal ear to a technology that would enable us to feed the hungry? That would create new forms of energy when we run dry? A technology that would cure diseases that have long plagued man?" Rifkin asked. Given tbe pgtential consequences, he sees these obvious advantages as a dangerous lure. The technology is "low probability, high risk," said Rifkin. It's unlikely that anythinj! would go wrong in an individual tnstance of genetic engineering, but if it did, be argued, the consequences could be apocalyptical. "Something "that is alive i& unpredictable. It can reproduce. It can mutate. It can migrate off site," noted Rifkin. You can't make a living organism come back when it gets too pesky, be "I'm not talking about killer tomatoes advancing on Buffalo, although that's what my critics say I'm talking about . . . ." pointed out. It has a will of its own. "l"m not talking about killer tomatoes advancing !l" Buffalo - although that's what my critics say I'm talking about," Rifkin said. To give a clearer idea of possible dangers, Rifkin used the analogy of exotic o~ganisms, plants and animals foreign to tbe continent that have caused tremendous damage. Nobody knew tbiJ seemingly harmless plants and animals would cause so much • trouble, he pointed out. "Anyone from the south? Does the word ·Kudzu warm your heart?"

According to Rifkin, as in the case of exotic organisms, nobody will know what the coDitq- of · such actions could be until tbcy occur. Rifkin observed ·-that on top of tbe environmental threat then: are also social risks. If, for example, - become able to eliminate certain geaclic !nits and to favor othen, "who abould be trusted with reaponsillility over tbe human gene pool? "Would you trust the President?

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

B's p.-.,liminary fall semester enrollment total of 27,477 is the largest in the history of the University, figu= ...,_ leased this week by Jeff.-.,y Dutton, Ph.D., di.-.,ctor of institutional st ud ies, ind icate. But it's not the total that's the most significant aspect of the fall enrollment picture, Dutton pointed out. The real news, he feels, is how the inc.-.,ase of 506 students (or 1.9 per cent) over last fall came about even as the University consciously attempted to reduce first-time f=hmen and overall undergraduate numbers. Factors responsible for the increase, Dutton noted, are an unprecedented growth in graduate c:nrollmenu, increased retention of both undergraduate and graduate students (because of ~the .-.,cent .-.,cruitment of proportionally g.-.,ater numbers of highly qualified studentsj, and highly successful minority and transfer student recruitment efforts.

These changes are to be accompanied b)l increased (acuity resources . and significant qualitative improvements at both levels of education.

Since Fall 1984, in fact, Dutton reported, ·graduate enrollments have increaSed by more than II per cent, from 7878 to 8763. · In the general academic program areas, the growth has been even more dramatic - a I 5 per cent rise, from 60!9 to 6933. New graduate enrollments over the same four-year span have moved from 2201 in 1984 to 2551 in this year's preliminary count. The increases have come primarily in . several areas, Dutton •said. Arts and Sciences, Education, Engineering, Management, Social Work, and Medicine have achieved the greatest expansion. but all academic $faduate pr:ograms have grown dunng the freshmen who mrolled bere 'in the Fall of 1984." That's signiflCIIIlt, the institutional studies director suuested , because in any Biven year, the "average academic: performance scores of enrolling freshmen normally exceed .the aver.agc of the total applicat II'OUp." To have the quality o( all today's applicants outstrip the quality of those enrolting just three years 110 represents unprecedented srowth in' quality, Dutton' laid.

Welch's book examines 'back to barrackS' movements in Africa, South America "M By JIM opinion and social movements. M cM UL~EN ilitary involvement in politics is the normal pattern for most co untries, although in the West we tend to think t~e milita ry should be subordinate to civilian government ," said Claude Welch. professo r of political scie nce at U B. Welch 's new book, No Farew-ell to A rms?, examines the relationship of the military and politics, focusing on a study of military disengagement from politics (redemocra t izatio n throu~h "back to the barracks" movements) m Africa and Latin America. Specilicafly, Welch notes that Latin American states seem to have had more success with disengagement in recent years than African states, and discusses the lessons which can be gleaned from a comparison of the two areas. el ch noted that the modern Western conception of the- role W of the military stems from Clau witz, · director of curriculum at the Pruss Witr Academy in the early 19th century and founder of modern military professionalism. ., " War is 'politics by other means," observed Clausewitz. He saw the task of the statesman as primary, and thought of war as a secondary means to a political end , not ·as an end in itse\f. The American conception of the r o le of the military is similar to that of Clausewitz. The primary responsibility of our military is to defend against external pressure or invasion, said Welch. That means the coercive might of our military is directed largely overseas, rather than internally. "The United States is m the unusual position of being an affluent country with leadership that's $"nerally •upportive of what the military thinks ~ needed," Welch added. Here, "they are able to satisfy their perceived professional needs .... In less affluent countries, the military sometimes feels it must obtain its perceived needs through force. In addition, the U.S. tradition of a civilian commander-in-<:hief helps prevent mililary involvement in politics. "This knowledge of the United States may mislead us in looking at other countries," Welch noted . "I'd like to shift this understanding ....:. tiy to put our knowledse within the context of those societies: their history, social make-up , economic conditions, and so forth." · "In Latin America, independence came as a result of military revolts, and it's fair to say there were various ragtag armies which contested for power. From those inausP.~cious beginnings Latin American mthtanes have con- tinued to be among the prime contenders for domestic power," Welch added. That tradition makes the military coup d'etat almost natural in these areas and can work against efforts at succe;sful redemocratization. elch pointed out that a reversal of factors leading to coups d'etat does not ' necessarily promote military disengagement. He notes in No Farewell _to Arms?, however, that "Sf>lits W "The US. is in the . unusual r)osition of being affluent, with leadership that generally supports what the military thinks it needs. In some places, the mtlitary feels it has to obtain those needs-through force." among governing [military] officers and demoralization as a result of policy failures are extremely powerful tnc:cntives fo returns to the barracks." He cautions, though, that if there are no serious efforts to create effective political institutions or to legitimize the new civilian governments, disengage- ment of the arrned forces from politics will likely be temporary. Welch also stresacd the importance of political coalitions in successor civilian governments as a condition for successful long-term redcmocratization. New governments must also· institute certain policies so tbey don't make the same mtstakes as their predecessors, he pointed out. Important, too, is the- occurrence of long-!crm economic improvement, which helps to entrench redemocratization. "Most Third World countries have several levels of military participation in politics," Welch said. The spectrum of that involvement ranges from influencinjl major sovernment decisions to vetomg them. Some armed forces have the power to m!lke and unmake sovernments, be added. While a CODJteUation of P'?litical and socioeconomic faaon (aoctal frapoentation, UDJtable or poor economies, etc.) is reapoDJible for that invol\lement, lllOit important amons them 11 a loq tiadition of internal involvement on the part of tbe military in cotmtrics of certain sJobal rqions, Welc:h said. · In many African natioDJ, for cumpie, military wa-c developed . to establilh and maintain colonial rule and llled to rep.- inlenlal political perhaps ron:a W elch, a fellow of the InterUniversity Seminar on Armed Forces and Society, has recently been named editor of the journal Armed Fore~ and SocittY: He has also presented lectures on these topics at the National War CoUesc.

At the workshop, it was evident. that all the applications for such high temperature superconductors, although many have been co nce ived before, have not yet been discovered.

But since taking this course, they say they suddenly feel lilr.e chauvinists. The idea that cbmmuni~tion spolr.en language, body..-language, jolr.ing, behavior, use of the media differs between the sexes probably was new to most students in the class. And what may have proved even more star· tling are the meanings 'a ttached to those language differences. 04 lt's easy to say ·women are kicked around linguistically," says Jeannette Ludwig, associate professor of modem languages and literatures, who taught the course in the srring with Claude Welch, professor o political science. " What's news is how that's haP.pened - by what channels is it manifested? How do we visualize women and inen in ads, in terms of jokes and literature? What force do cult images have on thinlr.in(l aod assumptions? We are examinmg the roots of stereotypes and prejudices, how they're enforced, ho~ they brealr. down." "One can't understand reality without understaoding that it is being shaped by words," Welch says. Researchers have determined some interesting. differences in the ways men aod women use the language, Welch aod Ludwig say. Some of those studies indicate that: • Men are three times more lilr.ely to interrupt a coo-.eriatioo· than women. "lt'l a means of doios power, of showins how little they thilik of a person.

When a man swears and apologizes, it's embarrassing to women,"' Ludwig says, not ing it is an act of power that excludes women. The f i rst Women 's and Men 's . Language class Ludwig taught was an upper-level' course composed of mostly women. In this class, a seneral education honors class, J 9 of the 22 freshman students were men. Most were engiDeering majors. "(The students) came into lhe course languase-neutral," says Welch, notins that they hadn't considered that meanings and feeli.ngs are attached to language or "reco~ -how culturally determined these. things are." "Some of the students probably felt as thousb we had an ax to &rind." Ludwig says. "Most of the teadings were contrary to what tbey'd thought, but there is reality behind tbe research. They are probably willin' to aclr.nowledse there are d1fferences between men's and women's language, and are probably su'l'rised to see how marlr.ed the differences are. "In the be&innins, some had traditional ideas about women. If we are not changing attitudes, at least they (the students) have been challcn&ed aod examined. • Several class members ~ the course promoted new 1deas about language as it pertains to men and women and stid it bad altered their attitudes to some extent.

Last summer when the Medical School decided to run a summer undergraduate research program, Nina Kaars sought National Science Foundation funds, but was denied. Rather than drop the project, the school scrounged funds from anywhere they could, including their dean and' -the resources of faculty researchers who were dedicated to undergraduatc.participation. David DeLapp relates that the MiniRaja project is fortunate to have fundina from Fisher-Price, National Fuel, Calspan, Dunlop, and the Buffalo section of the American Society of Mechaoical Eft&inecn. Jbere are aeveral ongoin& efforts to alleviate tbe funding problems. At least two aroupo in UB'l Medical School have applied for National Science Foundation gs&Dll.

It certainly isn't zero because that's j ust what happened to last Thursday's annual mcetmg of the scientifi~ ad vi sory committee of the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) held at UB. Instead of meeting to discuss earthquakes in the abstract and to give advice to the earthquake center, the board hastily called a 4 p.m. news conference to talk about Thursday morning's Los Angeles earthquake and its possible consequences. " We learned of the qu'!ke during the meeting and were in contact with people in California all day," said Frank McClure, senior structural engineer for the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory at the University of Catifornia-Berkeley. "Thankfully it occurred in the early morn ing when there aren't as many people out o r it would have been worse." The original quake, which registered 6. 1 o n the Richter Scale and took six li ves, was centered just east of Los Angeles and '"will continue to produce afte rshock s," said Thomas Hank s branch chief of engineering for th~ seismo logy and geology unit of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Triggle, dean of the School of Pharmacy and chair of the committee, said this week. The Faculty Senate and Graduate Faculty, prompted b;y a controversy ove r whether programs in the Department of Statistics should be eliminated and who has the power to make such a decision, last year had urged that such · a committee be established. The committee will not, however, reeval uate or second-guess decisions made by Thomas George, dean of Na. ural Sciences a·nd Mathematics, Triggle said. Instead , he indicated , it will examine where, how, and why the discipline of statistics is taught on this campus. The committee is looking for a model of statistics that fits its service, researph·, and teaching functions. At one extreme, all of those functions might be placed in the Department of Statistics . At the other extreme, none would be there. S The commitee will report to Provost William Greiner. No deadline for a report has been. set, but the committee will try to be timely, Triggle said. The members were appointed through the provost's- office from a list compiled through direct solicitation from the deans. . " It'S fairly representative of the research community and of the several disciplines in which statistics Is involved," Triggle said. There are no representatives from the Statistics Department on the ad hoc co-mmittee, nor are there representatives of the dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Triggle said he feels it's better to have representatives of those areas come to the committee and talk · as "freely as they wish. " If we're deciding something· campuswide, it should be decided by a _campus-wide committee," he ~d . enti~es. here are distinguished statisticians on the ad hoc committee, however, asserts its chainnan. One of them is Saxon Graham of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. · . " No one would disagree with Saxon tatistics is found in many places in this University, ' Triggle said. It's a vital part of health, physical, behavioral, and social sciences. A variety of health sciences, such as dentistry, medicine, and pharmacology, essentially run their own statistics programs, he noted. Personal computers, which allow people to run powerU! I statistics programs without usin~ a large computer, have {llayed a role to this scattenng of statisttcs throughout the University, the Pharmacy dean commented. uGo to any university an<! you11 find a plethora of courses, inside and outside of a statistics department," he noted. · The committee will gather d~ta on how other institutions organize their pro~rams. Some universities have no . statistics department per se, T riggle said . There is no sinl!l~ modeL The committee wdl also talk to professional groups and other outside nternally, the committee will look at where statistics is taught, who are statisticians, and who needs statistics. It will consult with any interested pllJlies, he noted. I T Graham's knowiedge " and his .use of statistics in epidemiology, Triggle said. • Then there's Robert C. Nichols of the Department of Co unseling and Educational Psychology. His department runs major statistics courses £or a large number of people, Triggle noted. "They certainly qualify as in-house experts," he said. John Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate, had criticized rhe administra" tion for not including ,experts on the committee. BUI at a recent Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting, he conceded the point. The othor members of the committee are: • Rossman F. Giese, Department of Geological Sciences. . . • Daniel A.

By ANN WHITCHER o r Ri chard · Stucker, the move fro m idyllic Dartmo uth to the· bustle of U B is a clear step forward in ma nagi ng and nurturing the arts. The new di rec to r of 'art s se rvices co mes to UB after 12 years as associate d irecto r of t he Ho pki ns (Arts) Center at Dartmouth College. This is "one of the nation 's premier fine arts cente rs housed on an academic campus," says Arts and Lene rs Dean J on Whitmore, Stucker's boss. ' Commented Wh itmo re: " A central part of Richard Stucker's role as .director of arts services will be to help facili· tate and coo rdinate the eventual bringing together of all the arts at UB, includ ing aspects of the creative writing program and cultural and intellectual act ivi t ies fr o m s uch a re as as th e Depa rtme n ts 'Of En11li s h, Ame ri.can Studies, African-Amen can Stud ies, and Modern Languages." In his new post, Stucker will help plan for the new S40 million Fine Arts Center, sched uled for completion in 1991. With Stu cker's assistance, Whitmore and the chairs of departments using the build ing (Art, Media Study, Music, and Theatre and Danoe)" w11l develo p policies and an o rganizational structure fo r scheduling, marketing, and produci ng the arts. Stucker said tlis fi rst thoughts about UB were favora bl y bo rne out after taking the job. "The opportunities are here to build and help program a fine arts center. 1t's the most exciting op.portun\ty so meone like me - who does what F I do - C co uld hope to h ave. We have a commit ment by the SUNY system to spend $40 miJiion on the Fine Arts Center." The 260,000-sq.-ft . Fine Arts Center is an ambitious undertaking, one that will require a great deal of planning, a prime reason for Stucker's hiring. The re will be a large, 1800-seat aud itori um, a ~seat d rama theatre, two rehea rsal theatres, two dance studios, t wo art galleries, studios for drawing , · pa inting, communication design, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, plus a 200-seat cinema. xplaining that the schematic design E for the building is completed , Stucker said: "My assignment for the next year will be to work out the details for the spaces within the building, to do the fine-tuning that's r~uired . It is also my job to help the departments make .the tllliiSition to the new center. These are departments that, for mostly scoaraphic reasons, have not seen much of each other." Stucker emphasizes that his is a unifyi . rol9t He oees himself as "cr:eating envaronments in which others can thrive.", His task "will not be to take rights away from departments, but rather, to work with them, to coordinate and strengthen their activities for the common good. " Stucker will develop plans for staff. ing and programming the new center. But be freely admits that it will take time before, as he puts it, "I fully know what the differenoea are between what I brouJbt to this plaoe in terms of my background, and what this place · needs."

"Our hope is to oot wait for the Fine · Arts Center to open, but to do some pulling together in the meantime." Possible measures include cooperat ive ticketing planS" for arts departments, a comprehensive cale"ndar of arts events, and a marketina stud y of existing and potential markets for University- arts. Stucker would also like to improve the quality of some of the promotional matenal for UB arts events. Stucker will likely work with student arts organizations, ·so that studentproduced arts events are not ignored. He also may coordinate seheduling of some events with the Division of Athletics so that "we don't have a parking crisis." As associate di=tor at the Hopkins Center, Stucker was responsible for internal operations, includmg staff and office personnel, a S4 million budget. facilities management, and supervision of operatina departments and auxiliary services. From 1980-82, he also served as acting director of the Hood Museum at Dartmouth. Before joining tbe Hopkins Center, Stucker was business manager and bead of administration at the Indianapolis Museum of Art ( 1973-7S); business manager of tbe Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford; Connecticut, the oldest t>dblic art museum in the country ( 197C>-73); and business manager of the Museum- of Contemporary Arts in Ctlicago (1969-70). The new arts services director studied at the Institute in Arts Administration at Harvard University under a fellowship from the National Eodowment for the Arts. He holds a B.S. in business administration from the University of lllinoi~. and d id advanced study in the Graduate School of Business at Northwestern University. Stucker, his wife Melinda, an English and sOcial studies teacher, and their ten-year-old son David are making their home in Ambers!. D "the network ing among SUNY arts people offers tremendous benefits. Also the market here is better i n terms of students and the public." Stucker says there are some similarities between the two schools and their arts programs. The Hopkins Center also houses three academic departments, and is primarily a building for education. This is Stucker's understand· ing, too, about the purpose of tbe UB Fine Arts Center. "The Fine .Arts Center will first and foremost be a place for learning, rather than entertainment." and planning a URiversity B uilding arts center in an urban center presents special challenges and calls for certain responsibilities, Stucker adds. "AU of us connected with this project have to be very sensitive to what else is happening culturall:y in tbe community. We wan1 to work w1th the otber arts organizations, so that w.: can maximize !be opportunities for cooperative program·ming and scheduling. We have to care what is aoirig on at the new Rockwell Hall (at Buffalo State College) or at the Albright-Knpx Art Gallery, for instance." Indeed, a bia part of Stucker's job will be' to help Whitmore build "alliances" within the community. "I didn'I have this .co111idcration at Dartmouth, • -uya Stucker.

V~t,No.S NASA Fellows Three grad students work on space preject . . F By ANTHONY CHASE o~ Dexter Johnson, working wtlh NASA was a childhood dream. Ephrahim Garcia and Greselda Stry agree that working with the space center would be an exciting prospeCt for practically any engmeer. For these three UB graduate students, the dream has become a reality. They hold NASA fellowships, and are dmng research under the supervision of Professor Daniel J. Inman in the• Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Eacb of the three is working on trusses that will be used in the construction of a structure iit space. They are interested in the dynamic behavior of these flexible structures, and therefore in how to control their movement. . "U p until a very few years ago, we d tdnl have to worry about controlling the movement of structures in space " Garcia explains. "Satellites were sm~ll and· of more limited use. Now, if you plan to build a space .s tation as a stepping stone for,exploring the inner solar system, it not only has to be able to house research and experiments iti space, it will also serve as a platform from which to launch the colonization of the moon or of Mars." arcia explains that the trusses cannot take up much room. They need to be very ligbtweight, and must be transported in compact form for assembly in space. "You don l n.e.J a lot of strength in space, but you do need structures of a certain size," says Garcia. "Wberr- you reduce structural mass, he explains, "physics. tells you • that you're going to increase the flexibility of the structure." To demonstrate just bow light and flexible · these structures are, Garcia relates . that a solar ray which was n:cently flown in a space shuttle mission wu one-hundred meters long, and only six tenths of a millimeter thick'. Clearly, the need to move such a structure creates tremendous problems. "You can' just apply a force, hope for the best; and have the thing vibrate and V.ake apart. You have to know tlie behavior of the structure," says Garcia. G , Indeed, at a cost of thousands of dollars per kilo for space cargo, NASA ·is not amused by surpnses. That is what the three scholars are working to prevent. G th is program he became one in a selected gro11p · of high school students to take freshman level engineering courses here. As undergraduates , John \ On and Garcia were. active in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Garcia served as its vice presi<ll:nt during his aenior year. Johnloll wu also acti"" m the National Society of Black Ensinec:T>. Johnson observes that interaction · with graduate students through his partitipation in these clubs gave him a clear idea of what graduate school would be like. arcia is the senior member of the group. He earned his bachelor's · degree at UB,' and joined the p~ two yean_qQ throuab NASA .. uate ~ Student Resea.rcllen Proaram. H completed his muter's in the spring.

Johnson is undecided about his future direction. preferring ro concentrate on tbe project which he has jUS( begun. " I did three internships when I was an undergraduate, and fully expected ,to be in industry after the bachelor's degree. Then this fellowship came along," says Johnson. He adds that if the fellowship bad been from any organization other than NASA, he 111igbt have thought twice, but under the circumstances he jumped at the chance. Garcia, too, has not yet made a firm decision about his future. He is glad about his participation in the NASA project, observing that an undergraduate degree in any branch of engineering is so broad that someone who goes into industry immediately after graduation will be trained by a company to do what it wants. "Going to graduate school Jives you more control over those dectsions for yourself," he says.

Ho was determined to learn the truth about Africa. Foner said, and to dispe l the encyclopedic. mythic view of Afnca as ..a continent with no history and no culture - a view which opened the doo r for unchecked colonialism and imperialism. Robeson studied and became fluent in 45 African languages, and produced scholarly articles on African culture and linguistics. hrough film, he allempted " to tell the truth about Africa" - to alter T the Western conception. He gave it "Racial oppression and exploitation have a universal pattern. Whether they occur in South Africa, Mississippi, or New Jersey, they must be exposed and fought as part of a world-wide system of oppression, the fountainhead of which is today among the reactionary and fascist-minded ruling classes of white America." _ . .-, _ _ol _Peul __ -1952 Rol - ... , -_ ..,-. ~- a-. - - ·- •"T hat was Paul Robeson, .. hi storian Philip Foner added , "and that was the principle which he refused to part with until the day he died ." Foner, a pioneer in the documentation of the labor movement and black history, spoke here last Thursday on "Paul Robeson and the Anti-Apartheid Struggle ... Foner is a retired professor of history from Lincoln University, the fir.a black college in the United States. Although Paul Robeson was among the firs_t fighters in the war against South African apartheid , he for years was virtually unknown in this country, even among blacks, because the United States government launched a campaign in the 1950s to make him into a .. non-person, .. said Foner. Robeson, who grew up in the midst of the black working class in Princeton, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Rutgers. He earned 12 vars11y leiters and was named an All-American in football in 1917 and 1918. From Rutgers, he went on to graduate from Columbia University Law School. He took a position as a lawyer for a Wall Street firm, but quit because they wouldn't allow him, as a black man , to no any important work. "He didn' want to be just a nobod y, working for a white firm that didn\ appreciate his talents," Fo!lcr . said. Instead, Robeson became act1ve m the theatre, debuting in Eugene O'Neill's "All God 's Chillun Got Wings," about the relationship of an interracial couple. The KKK threatened to raid the theatre on opening night because in the play a white actress kissed the hand of Robeson 's lead character. · He went on to become a well-known figure, performing in Emperor Jon.s and The Hairy Ape, among other plays. He also helped to revive Negro spirituals in public performances in the United States and in Europe. In the 1930s. Robeson moved to England, where he received rave reviews playing Shakespeare's OtheUo, something which social conditions in America prevented . · In England, Robeson began meeting with African leaders, people active in the struggle against imperialism and colonialism in their nations. n 1934 , on a trip to the Soviet Union, Robeson passed through Berlin, where he and his wife were· insulted by the Nazis. "In Robeson there grew a great hatred of fascism. of what the Nazis stood for," said Foner. This hatred was instrumental in motivating Robeson politicaUy. because he noted the simIlarities between Nazi racism and the racism and hatred he found in the United States and in Europe. In the S.oviet Union, Robeson noted, " For the ftrsl lime, l feel like a free man." He arranged to have his son educated there. Foner noted, so that he might avoid the pangs of racism. In 1938 Robeson devoted himself to helping republican Spain in its struggle against the fascist forces of Franco, singing for republican forces. ..There I saw that it was the working men and women of Spain who were heroically giving their last measure of full devotion to the cause of democracy in that country. There it was that tbe upper class would unloose the fascist 1beast against their own people," Robeson said. From what he witnessed in Spain, Robeson concluded that "The artist must take sides. He must elect to f~ght for freedom or slavery. l have ·made my-choice. l had no alternative." Robeson became involved with the labor movement in Great Britain , I up, Foner said, because the projects he was involved in ..were used to demean the African people." Instead Robeson returned to the United States, co-founding with W.E.B. DuBois the Council on African Affairs. Tbe council was "the only voice of truth about Africa" from 1937 until the 1950s. Politics in the United States forced it out of existence during the McCarthy era. said Foner. The council hosted. among other things, a conference on post- World War II liberation and advancemen t of Afric8n nations. There Robeso n encouraged American ac~i vis m on behalf of Africa. He called 11 "the one continent where und isguised colonial slavery is still practiced ." The council contributed greatly to the freedom of African nations. On February 2, 1952, Paul Robeson and tbe Council on African Affam called for a boycoll of all American investments in South Africa. Robeson firmly believed that the struggle for black equality in America could not be separated from the struggle against apartheid and inequality in Africa, and that one would not come without the other, Foner said. His persecution by the American government and p-:ess ~ as _a duect consequence of his pohUcal rnvolvement Foner added. In 1950, Secretary of Siate Dean Acheson bad revoked Robeson's passpo~. deeming his travel abroad "contrary to the best rnterests of the United States." nvestigation revealed that Acheson :s decision was based on Robeson s Iadmission of political involvement . on behalf of the colonial peoples of Afnca, Foner revealed. So effective was the campaign against Robeson that his income dropped in a one-year period from $175,000 to S5,000, as he found that no theatn:s concert balls, or radto stauoos would iet him in or broadcast his music. "h requires courage to stand up for principles, whether the time is ripe or not " Robeson bad said to President T ru'man. Robeson was to remaiD true to his principles, Fooer added, in his stance against lyncbiJ18S in the Soi!th, in his slrugle for blaclt representabon in professional sports. in hiS batn:d of oppression and fascism of any kind, and in his ftgbt for freedom of his people in Africa and in the United States. "Robeson bad said, 'l am only a folk singer,' " Fooer related, "but be sang and spoke for all peoples. "America should be proud to have bad a Paul Robeson," Fooer added. "Today the non-person bas become a person." Fooer's lecture, presented by the · Gray Panthers, was C<Hponsooed by a number o~ local and UB SfOUpo. 0 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The S4 million NIH grant will have seven leaders: Rekosh; Hammarskjold; Michael · Apicella, M.D., professor of medicine aod microbiology at UB; Grayson Snyder, Ph.D. ; associate professor of biological sciences at UB; Jeremy Bruenn, Ph.D., professor of biological sciences at U B; Sybille Muller, Ph . D., of Roswell Park Memorial Institute, and Norbert Roberts, M. D., of the University of Rochester. Rekosh emphasized the collaborative nature of the work. In addition to the institutions already named, he said he expects to begin working with the Buffalo Medical Foundation. The research at UB will be done under the auspices of the Center -for Applied M61ecular Biology and Immunology (CAMBI), said Rekos!t, a codirector of that center. (Apicella is the other co-<lirector. He also leads the existing AIDS Treatment and Evaluation Unit at the Erie County Medical Center. It evaluates clinical treatments for AIDS.) CAMBI was formed two years ago under a grant from the UB president's office . ..The center brings together expertise in immunology, molecular biology, and protein chemistry. and this was clearly recognized by the agencies making these awards," Rek.osh said . .. As scien0 :~.n~~r:Jo~ 1~:~~Jn:~• ~ t!~,i~r~l work, he said . Scientists from NIH will help the local researchers coUabo~te with a network of other researchers m the nation. . The UB researchers will try to understand how the AIDS-<:ausing virus operates, Rekosh explained. Most of the research will focus on a single component of the virus called the envelope protein. . . . This envelope protein 1s essential for the virus to get in and out of cells. The researchers want to pin down what it looks like and bow it works. Rekosh believes that UB was chosen for this major grant becai!SC CAMIJI has developed a unique process to produce this protein. The SJ>CCial technology developed by Harruiwskjold and Rekosh produces large quantiucs of the protein. • The researchers take a gene, which has the information for making the envelope protein, from the AIDS virus and place it into tissue culture cells. Rekosh said. These cells then produce the envelope protein in the same' way that cells in the human body produce it when infected with the virus. Since only part of the virus will be used, there's no risk of infection to researchers, Rekosh said. lfe_cpmpared it to a car: remove the tires and engine and you can be pretty sure it's not going anywhere.

D Undergrad .Initiative seeks to improve State's work force ·" I By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO f New York can't have quantity in its work force, it bas to have quality,"SUNY Provost Joseph C. Burke said this week in ,.xplaining the reasoninl! behind the new Undergraduate Initiative. The Initiative, a five-year effort to enrich undergraduate education and beef up advisement and counseling wograms, has been proposed by SUNY in its 1988-89 received $4.26 million this year, is also a five-year program. Funding for the second year of the GRI is being sought. "They go baod in band; they're romplementary," he said of the two trubabves. "If you don't have the proper preparation on tbe undergraduate level, you can't go. on to the graduate level," he added. :'n'Utr:~ ::'~~~!i.~i:i~v~ked for Sl.7 New York State is facing a new kind of economy and its work force is not growing. "We're going to have to educate people over and over and over again, .. Burke said. "That's going to make tremendous demands on our campuses." The numl>er .of people in the State's work force will remain nearly static until the year 2000, lagging behind the national work force which will grow five times fast..-, he said. Minorities will allo become an increasing portion of the work force, but minonties have benefitted least from higher education and education at every level, Burke said. Compounding the problem is the forecast that SO per cent of the new _ jobs created until the year 2000 will require one or more years of coUe$0, he noted. Thirty per cent will reqwre four or more years. In addition, young people can expect to change jobs aix or aeven ti.mes. in their lifetimes, and ch4nle occupations three times.

Your remark noted above is certainly not correct and bas ill served the Department or Electrical and 1Computer Engineering (ECE) lili (particularly our j unior colleagues}.,...tbe Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences (FEAS), and this University. Your statement is far out of line with your well known sense of fairness and propriety. Surely, John, you know that "deniaJ of tenure .. implies that ( I ) the process for continui ng appointment was initiated , (2) at some stage in the process, a negative recommendation was put forward'" and (3) the negative reco mmendatio n was sustained thro ugh the remainder (or, at least. at the end) of the process.

The conference, held l¥t Wednesday through Saturday at . UB's Center fo r Tomorrow, "'serves as an umbrella for all Latin American associations and coordinates Latin American studies," said conference cbai.rmail Jorge Gracia, a UB philosophy professor. ~It's really a very important mceting and it's a pity the local media dido\ cover it." . Gracia noted that, among others, there were journalisu from Mexico and· Colombia sending daily n:poru back to· their countries about the meeting that attracted over ISO educators from 18 nations. One unique aspect of this year's conference, s&ld Gracia, was that it was the fmt time the problems of Hispanics in the U.S . had been addressed by the congress. This was essential, he said, because the U.S . serves as a melting pot for all Hispanics and faces problems of ·integration and government policy that other countries don\ have. ~~~ ofTen us an opportunity to look at ounelvcs," he said. Academically, the reason the conference was so important was that ~plans for future initiatives wire made, an examination of the state of various academic disciplines in Latin American countries was made, and notes were compared as to the effcetivencss of various academic programs ,~ explained Gracia. . He added that prior to the ftnt congress 10 years llj!O. there was no coordination. of disctpli~s in Latin Am~ri­ can studocs and duplicallon of programs occurred with regularity. · . While serving as a check point for Latin American academic programs is essential, Gracia added that " being able to meet different important people" from all over tbe world was also a very important as~ of the conference for del~gates.

' Weekly Calendar Ed itor JIAN-R �October 1, 1117 VohHM I, No. 4 Things your dentist ne·ver told you By ANTHONY CHASE , I f you were to sip lightly -sugared coffee all momina, and you} neighbor were to wolf down an entire b&J of M&:Ms, beUeve it or' not, it's you who would run the areater risk of • tooth decay. · Your dentist probably never·told you that. You might have been "told to drink milk to make your teeth' strong, or to avoid candy to prevent decay. Unfortunately, that's often as far as a dentist goes when counseUng patients , on diet and nutrition. At the UB Preventive Dentistry Cllg_ic, however . pat ients ieccive thorough diet assessment - and advisement. but would have absolutelY no effect dl:nlally, Palmer explained. · Another milconceptioil, Palmer said, i( tllit .,_ of the dry mouth in ll4ults. · WJllere are over 2SO drugs commonly u,ed by lldults and elderly lldults which cauoe a dry mouth," she said. ~In the old days, they uaed io say that you sur, fered a loss of saliva as a natural p&rt of a&inJ, AlthoiJib it's true that a 10.. of saliva often accompanies aging, it's not cauaed by the qina pro.:es$." Tb!s means 'that a normal diet, which · might not be decay-promoting in a person who hu normal saliva, wiU be decay promoting in one who doesn \ ; Pa1mer explained . Saliva ordinarily flows through the mouth anbe rate of ""'ut a liter per day. When it is not praent to buffer ciCcay-<:ausin& acids, the acids build up and voilD - tooth decay. P sychCHocial foctors also affect oral and FDeral bealtb. An elderly or infirm person mipt be unable to prepare proper meals. or. tieCause people tend to be creatures of habit, a patien mipt resist c!W.Jes in diet recommended by a nutrillonist. ~Diet and nutrition are very personal," Palmer apees, "but it would be a mistake to say that people ~on\ c'han~~t, because we know that they will - otherwise there would be no television lldvertisina." n an effort to evaluate and improve the program at UB, Carole Palmer, noted diet counselor from Tufts University, recently spent three days at the I preventive clinic. Palmer contends that dentists must become more aware of nutrition as it affects oral and general health because they see people more often than any other health care provider. Dentists must begin to sec themselves as the first line of defense against potential nutritio nal and dietary problems, she submits. Because they sec people so regularly, dentists pave taken on the task of measuring blood pressure. They're often the first to detect cases of hypertension. Because they take medical histories, they are sometimes the first to warn of possible diabetes. Dieticians are interested because both conditions require careful diet control. D inWe is one example. For instance, tt's not the t1111ount of sugar in the diet that creates dental problems, Palmer said, but the freq11cncy of its introduction into the mouth. Bacteria, not sugar itself decay the teeth. That explains the cxa~ple of the coffee and the M&:Ms. The constant wash of sugar in the coffee provides the bacteria with a steady diet . The old advioc to ·cut down on sugar, therefore, turns out to be almost uscless. T.,.cut down from three teaspoo~s to only one-half teaspoon of sugar_ m the coffee would rcduoc the caloncs, almer warns, b.owever, that when~ ever people become interested in a new area of nutrition, they can go off the deep end. At present there is a whole spectrum, fro m dentists who never mention the word nutrition to their patients, to those who say ..don' cat candy." Then there arc those who arc selling vitamins from their"llffi<:cr-- P and doine what Palmer terms, ~some pretty bizatTe things. " .. Part of tbe prohlem," Palmer continued, ~ that we have not carefuJiy bridp:a to dentistry. ometimes the detection of a dietrelated dental problem involves the S undoing of a misconocption. su,ar Indeed, advertisers have ·lately keyo:d into a number Qf nutritional isauea, from fiber in breakfast cereal, to oran110 juice with ·added calcium, to i ~half-tbe-addcd-.uprs" in peanut butter - which would, remember,- bave no · effect dentally. A!though~t peop are unaware of it, diet c.ounselina would not~only help patients avoid the drill, it coufd also save them . enormous amoilllts of money. The techniques can easily . be learned by any dentist or' dental b)'lieftist, require no spccial equipment, and can be performed ri&ht in the office. "Most people aren't aware of it, but diet counseling would not only help them avoid the drill, it could also · save them enormous amounts af money." Problems can be picked up in a few seconds by a dentist who knows what to look for. He can simply ask, "What do you cat in a normal day?" However, dentists do not generally know what to look for, Palmer said. Although dieticians have worked closely with medical doctors for many yean, they have yet to build adequate entists should be interested in•dict because nutrition is especially important in the oral cavity, Pall'f\Cr said. . "The soft tissue of the mouth is replaced every few days," she observed. "It's a vicious cycle in terms of reststancc and tissue repair. " The patient's ability to heal and to resist infection is affected by nutrition. A denttst should be aware, too, of numerous other diet-related oral conditions. Root decay, for inslllnce, has become recogo~ more and more as a serious problem in adults,- especially the elderly, and is an area in which dietary factors can also .play a role. • It is' not un111"" for an elderly patient who hi§, a new dent!"", _or for someone with sore .teeth and periodontal disease, to be unable to chew, Palmer continued. Such a person is likely to switch to a soft diet. If it's a soft nutritious diet this presents no problem - for a while this is even desirable. Too often, however, it's just a soft, mushy, empty-caloric diet. abouteat_!tlg The ·Mouth is the Window to the Body By ANTHONY CHASE be eyes may be the window to the soul, but according to Chester DeLuca of UB's Preventive Dentistry Clinic, ~c mouth is the window to the body." The condition of the teeth and tissues of the mouth betrays vast information which . DeLuca says every dentist should be able to read. "The oral cavity is a filthy place," he observes. "It's like a microcosm. All the dramas of the world are enacted in your mouth, from war, to colonization. to natural selection." Because of these dynamic interactions, some dental microbiologists have begun to refer to their field as oral ccolol!Y. Indeed , although over 200 orgarusms living in the oral cavity have been named to date, it is likely that over / ,()(}()species commonly exist. The natural progression in the mouth which DeLuca describes has been characterized by some as resembling the, development of flora and fauna on a previously uninhabited island. 'l!Wty- ' thing occurs in an orderly manner. \ Colonizing bacteria attach themselves to a tooth. This is followed by what DeLuca terms subsequent "waves" of bacteria. The mature community is what we are ·all familiar with -as the sticky substanoc, plaque. Although plaque was among the first substances to be examined by microscope, researchers have only recently T aspired to an exhaustive understanding of the world inside your mouth. This study opens up remarkable possibilities for preventive dentistry. delineated what the area of responsibility should be for the dental team .~ 'In the beginning, the effort was to involve dentists in the application of nutrition to their dental practiocs, aflllto provide them with the methods to do it. Today it's more a question of determining which patients dentists should be treating, and which patients should be referred. · Palmer summarizes the dentist's involvement as .. the screening of patients for diet and nutritional problems." He or'She should ",provide counseling and ~danae in the offioc on those areas tn the diet directly related to oral condition, and that do not have an underlyin& medical problem. " Dentists should not," she adds, "try to be nutritionists, which they~ not. A dentist would not treat an obese patient, a hypertensive, or a diabetic. They should refer such' patients to a1 dietician." :In addition to bein& a registered di-1 ctician, Palmer is an associate profeaaor· and division C<Khair in nutrition and . preventive dentistry at Tufts University, and a lecturer at the famous Fonyth Dental Center in Boston .

In rejecting certain forms of the totalizing impulse through relativism (our version of Existentialism, I suppose), we were also rejecting what we might have called "vulgar realism" (literary and social forms that rest upon some agreement that the world really is a cenain way, does really have a certain shape). We didn't realize that we might be rejecting all forms of l'QJism as we were rejecting vulgar realism (including the vulgarity of Fascist Europe); we ilidn't l'QJize that we were opening the door of radical subjectivism, even nihilism, tbet bas haunted my generetion, at least in its literary and inteUectual faces. for the past 20 yean.

Instead, they must plan for swarms of volunteers who wiU converge on the area - too many, almost. That's tbc finding of his studies foUowing the Mexico City earthquake of 1985. Scholars from across the country last week met at UB to discuss their research on the aftermath of tbat devastating earthquake, wbicli k.illcd an estimated 5,000 people and left 100,000 homeless. The seminar was sponsored by the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research. Other speakers looked at how n:scue operations were organized and carried out and at how Mexico City has gone about replcoish·ing its severely depleted housing stock. Wenger, a social scientist, studied voluntccrism af~r the quake. He concluded that the "mass assault" of volunteers on a disaster site that is tyPical in the United States is found tn other places as wcU. When people draw up disaster emergency plans, they oft,en envision a site with no one aroiJDll. But planners must take into account this mass assault of helping hands, Wenker warned.

Local tests are also under way for another device developed by engineer Robert Duthie, Jr., which uses ultraviolet light to sterilize human body implants and medical/ dental tools. Duthie, bead of BUD Industries Inc believes the BUD hone anchoring fi~: tures, 3.5 millimeters long and made of A co-;nm~rcially pure titanium, may revo- luhomze the prosthetics industry. Fea· tunng _a umque thread design, the fix· ture IS compatible with hone and requires. a minim~ amount of support to rem&J.n securely 10 P.lace. Norma.n G. Schaar, D.D.S., notes that preliminary testing suggests the fixture may be a breaktbrough in the field of dental implants. Schaaf, UB pr~fessor of maxillofacial prosthetics, is chtef of the Department of Dentistry and Maxtllofactal Prosthetics at Ros1 well Park. "Most ad ults who lose teeth from A ~ periodontal (gum) disease may still be~ S able to have successful implants using _ the BUD fixture ," Schaaf points out. ~ The fixture utilizes tiny areas of bone ~ still available in many patients who g have suffered tooth loss associated with .2 the advanced bone destruction of peri- t odontal disease. The BUD fixture could be used in two ways to provide a stable base in bone for tooth replacement. When a single tooth is to be replaced, a ppsl • onto which an artificial tooth has been cemented could be inserted into tbe fiXture which baa been implanted into hone. Such posts could also serve as auppo<:U upon which dentures could be plao:ed.

"Duthie's fixture has already been successfully implanted into bea&ll:s, whose jaw struCture is similar to that of humans," Schaaf explains.

The device, which uses ultraviolet light, is roughly the size of a small television set and is easily transported to operating and treatment rooms. "Currently, techniques uoed to sterilize iOJtrumeots involv.e a combination of high tieat and pressure which not only kills bacteria and viruses but has the disadvantage of wearing down surfaces of surgical tools over time," Duthie explains. Hia machine, which is currently patent pending, destroys surface microor-. ganisms in eipt seconds, considerably slasJiing· the hme required for sterilization and reducing residual damage to the iostrumenta. The machine may also be used to sterilize and produce a super..:leiti'surface for ,implants used in the human body sueh .. tboae used in the hip, heart, and ortl cavity.

Michael Meenaghan, D.D.S., Ph.D., director of the center, notes that many companies like Duthie's can benefit from tbe .expertise of UB scientists wbo have studied the interface of various materials with human tissue. Although the center is located in the UB School of Dental Medicine, its associated scientists provide a multialSciplioilry approach to the research. They already have established a track reco~ in innovative research ranging from dental implants to surfaces of the artificial human heart.

Just because a material iso\ toxic in the human body doesn' mean it's been shown, over time and through a variety of rigorous tests, to be totally biocompatible with the tissue into which it 'tvill be placed," says Meeoagban. At a recent gatberina held at the Surface Science Center, resean:ben met with industrial representatives from around the nation to discuaa ways in which basic resean:b could be conducted at UB to aid desip ind evaluation of new materials and devicea. · "Duthie is a prime example of an inventor who wanll to be certain his devices are well tested - through b.ic science, animal, and human clinical ( studies - before they are offered for routine use," Meeoagban notes.

Hate to give speeches? Toastmasters can help you By JIM McMULLEN emember crinpng in front of your junior htgh class, giving an awful oral presentation on carbuncles while sweat poured down your back? J!emembcf-the powerful urge to wet your pants? Remember feeling the same way whtn you bad to give tbe toast at your brother's wedding? The UB Toasunastenl know bow to overcome that feeling. "Toastmasten n:all~ c~anges people's lives," said Rosalyn Wilkmson, prestdent of the UB Toastmastenl Club. Toastmasters belps people develop effective commjlllication and leadenlhip skills. The group functions as an ongoing professional development seminar for faculty and staff, explained Wilkinson, who ts manager of human resources developmiiDI and benefits administration at UB. "These are people who are interested primarily._ in penlonal and professiOnal development; they're concerned. about public speaking not as a vocation, but mon: as a tool," Willcinson said. That penlonal development will cer' tainly benefit UB, which is why the Univenlity sponso"' the newly chanered chapter. The· members use their h:ncbtime for balf of lhe two-hour meeting; the Univenity allows them to use work time for the other balf. The University also provides meeting space. Membenl bave the choice of pn:par- R ing a speech for each meeting or taking part in ~able Topics.;' a round-ro~in session in which each extemporizes on a pre-determined topic. "Memben learn that, whether they know the subject or not, they can' just fall apart up then:. It n:ally forces organized thinking on your feet." e've all cringed on bearing speakers "ab," •um," and "ob" during a lectun:, so the Toastmaste1-s try to eliminate that babit, too. One member serves as tbe .. ah counter at r,Mh meeting. The "ali" counter's func-. lion is to count all llibvocalizations a speaker makq,d~ paUICS &Dd point them out at t1ie end,.or the presentation. ' Toutmutqs' seeec:bea .are always timed, too, to eDCO!lflll" members to learn bow to end a presentation - finished or not - when their audience loses interest. · "Knowing when to wrap it~ up is a n:al sJcill," Wilkinson said. "If you're giving a presenU:tion at a staff meeting and everyone ia looking out the window and yawnin~ it's time to summarize and get 90 wtth things. You've lost the audience anyway, and it's important to be able to recognize that." These skilla help Toasunaste"' ·in their day-to-<lay activities: organizing abd ninning staff meetings, delivering information to their colleagues, or just interacting witb othen on a penlonal basis. Since memben come from varied backgrounds &Dd differing. levels of ex~rience, they use their new-found abilities in many diffen:nt ways.

"People wbo could hai-dly stand up and say my name have pr<:pared wonderfUl weeches." Seminlonthly meetings also provide members with a long-term opportunity to practice the skills the club promotes, unlike isolated. day-long workshops and seminars, WilkinsoQ- said.

I piracy: the problem js growing By FRANK BAKER ow to catch a criminal that can't be seen (lr heard, leaves no finger prints, and knows the chances of being caught are almost nil? That's the problem facing many colleges and universities, including UB, when it comes to trying to stop computer theft of copyrigbted software . Known more commonly as computer piracy, computer theft is a growing pro blem at many colleges and universities across the country. However, those 10 the know at UB insist the problem here is marginal. " I have some knowledge of (coml.'uter theft) here," acknowledged Hinnch Martens, associate vice president of computing and informational technology. But, "Most of it is individual and goes on behind closed doors. We're enforcing as rigidly as we can ... H duplication of copyrighted ~· "People know they're doing. somethiJ18 wrong, but do it anyway," said Martens. The chances of being caught are so small that they know they can get away with it." "It's really a moral issue," added Vullo. "The fact is· mpst people don't think they're doing anything wrong." I fit's so easy to get away with, what is the University, as well as software companies , doing to combat the problem? "We don't ordinarily permit the student or a faculty member to take out software and bring it back," said Mattens. "If a student does take out software, be must sign ·a statement promising not to copy it. That pla<:a a legal 0 thers agree with Martens' evaluation of UB's computer theft pro blem. " I see a little, " said Ronald Vullo, assis tant director of the Center for Learning and Technology. "We discourage it stronJiy in the labs." Richard Lesmak, manager of University micro systems for University Comput ina; Services, sees a problem and doesn't just use words to discourage computer theft. " If I see a student I believe is trying to co py a diSk , " he said, "first 111 tell ht m or her to stop, then 111 shut off the term inal. If they continue to try to copy, then 111 call Public Safety. I've only had to do that once." '" I haven't come across a case of it !computer piracy) yet," said Walter K unz, dean of undergraduate academic \C rvices. "If l did , l think it would be mo re of a criminal than an academic pro blem so l would turn the case right over to Public Safety." burden on tbe student." Anotber way the . companies have Martens added that the Uoivenity is belped their own cause is by including in the process of putting in a networka manual only with original copies .of ing system whereby _only temporary disks.

Lesniak concurred with Vullo's hypothesis. .. Some software you can copy, some you can't," he said. "The general use of copy protected disks is abating. Tbere were too many complaints from people who couldn't make legal copies to use as backups to the origipal." T he men added that the reasons behind illegal copying are as varied as the possible soluti ons to the problem. "I've found that people who copy a lot don't even use the programs," said Vullo. "They just copy for tl;e -sake of copying." . "Some (II:Ople are 'shoppen,' " added Lesnial<! "Tbey j!JSI go around picking out the programs they want and copy as many pro.,-ms as they can. " Still others, ~ tbe two men, copy just to see if t6ey can break the company's protection on the disk:. "It's an ongoing process ,'' said Martens. "In the .reports and newspaper articles I've seen, almost half of all software programs are illegal. Making copies of books is the same principle. Both co'mputer software and books are protected by copyright laws. "I'm convinced the copying will continue until software is made non.copyable or the laws are toughened," he lthough computer theft is a criminal offense, many students don't real ize the chance they are taking when they decide to copy a protected program. In some cases, they could actually l!O. to jail on char~ of copyright infringement, theft, ot illegal A S&ld. Boot' administration· differ on Statistics By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO J <ihn Boot, chairman of the Faculty Senate; doesn't see eye to eye with tbe UB adm~n­ istratton 's decisions concerrung the Statistics Departma~t. Since February, the department bas been the subject of controversy centering around whether programs in the department should be discontinued and who has the power to make such decisions. Reading at tbe September 16 meeting of the Faculty Senate from a single-spaced document tbat is more than three pages lon1, Boot said be disagrees with the choice of a chairman for tbe department . . T.he faculty in the department wanted Kenneth Maaill, an ex-.chair of Mathematics, Boot said. (At one point, the administration h·ad considered merging part of Statistics witb M~t~ matics.) Instead, Jobn Ho, a physiCISt, · is to be appointed. Ho hu "taken a stans:e favoring tbe fastest demise of the Department of Statistics," Boot stated. "Even the administration ..:knowledges that Dr. Ho cannot be an effc;?tive spokesman for the degartment, . and auggesu tbat a spokesman for the departmen( also be appointe?, Boot l&ld. ' . The way the blue ribbon panel studying the .d~parUnent 's si~uation ()as been oet 'up Alio draws Boot's ire. The administration violates its own motion 'by not including statistics experts on the panel, be said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

" After much hard work by.the sea rch and review committee •. chaJred by Vice President for Univel"1ilty Rela· tions Ronald Stem, we have selected a . top candidate for the position."

At the same time, Delaware State's men's and women's track teams excelled in the East with victories against Villanova , Princeton, Penn State, and others. Townsend will begin serving in his UB post in December, I987. Edwin D . Muto is servmg as mtenm athlettc director. "You could have made a different choice, .. Townsend told University officials at the press conference, " but 1 personally think you could not have made a better choice, because I want to be here. " Asked why he left Tallahassee after such a short stint there, Townsend j:laborated, " I've had dreams of work ing at a Univenity like Buffalo. In co ming here, I'm fulfilling a goal and a dream." He added, " last Saturday night, my team defeated Georgia Southern Col- lege, a two-time national chan~. pion , in the Gator Bowl in Jackso nvi lle. For me that 's an indication that 1t's all right to leave (Tallahassee) now. The program is on firm ground... . . Townse nd introduced " the UmversJty"s newest fa n and my biggest supporter, .. his wife Diane, who was tn .the a udience. The couple have four children, ranging in age from 21 to 12. .

"One is led to believe,"" he contin~~ · "that in o rder to have a co.mpet1t1ve athletic program you must• he, cheat, steal. forge t~an s~ripts. But th at 's not true. The Unavers1ty need not be con: tro lled by zealots. For every . SMU, there are hund reds of academic mstlt~­ tions that have not sacrificed thear integrity for a few cheap th ri lls on the at hletic field ." . Townsend added, .. Winn ing .•s. c_o ntagious. We will develop a D1v1ston I program, but not let the tall wag the dog." Asked whether there will be a new strategy for recruiting student athletes, Townsend replied , "You can use the same criteria the University uses for admiuion for all other students and vision I status, Nelson Townsend's leadel"lihip will be the critical f~or m developing a lirst·<:lass ath letic program," Sample srud at the press conference, held in a conferen~ room at the Recreat ion and Athletics Complex .

We are determined that the academic needs of all athletes will be met, and that athletic opportunities for all students will be increased ." .. Mr. Townsend is a s ~udent-o riented athletic d irector," Albm o remarked. " He understands what his athletes need as students. He will be a major asset to the University." "For every SMU we read about, there are hundreds of institutions that have not sacrificed their integrity for a few cheap thrills on the athletic field." -NELSON ~:~:~~~bea\~=~~~y~~~b~ you must have some special process, but that •s not true. "To build a program of the type the Univel"liity has plans for will take time," he added. "It might not be done even in three ye81"1i. There must be careful planning and stick.ing to the mission or the University rather than trymg a quick fix that will bring a blac k. eye to the University. "The NCAA says that the athlete sho uld not be treated differently than ' any other student, so we 're ·goin$. to have to be academically co mpet1t1 ve. The athletic program must stand for what the Umvel"liity stands for. This so und s hard, but only because we read the wronl! stories of what ha ppens at other institutions ... he said . Townsend did remark that an effort would be made to recruit a nd enroll top athletes from Western New York. "That's what everyobe wants to do," he said , smiling. " Keep the best at hletes at home."

Townsend had commented 10 an interview before th e press conference. He calls the a thletic facilities at U 8 "some of the best I've see n on the east coast. " We exist for the purpose of serving students." he added. " In cor&idering this posi tio n, I was most impressed with the fact that there was as much talk on the pan of the University administration about the development of intramural and recreational programs as there was in building the program to Division I. We must begin any program upgrade with the students th at is the place to stan. You must have the students on yo ur side, which yo u can do only by developing compreheqsive and up-to-<late mtramural " We canl do much on the athletic level unless the studen t body is inspired. because with.out that, you can l inspire the alumni and the community," he added. . .... Townsend said h1s first actiVIties when he begins his new position in December will revolve around upgrad ing individual athletic programs in ti~rs leading to higher NCA A status, while at the same time 1mprov1ng recreauonal and intramural programs for th~tu · dent budy. • " I've met very fine people work ing within the Department of Recreation. Athletics and Related Instruction wh o are eager to begin new things," he said. He emph-asized that his main goal. however, was to ..develop an academ1c side to athletics." A native of Horntown.

Every day that number climbs by about 10. Only 250 will be sold. More than half of the passes - 126 - were purchased by students, Ryszka said. Faculty and staff bought 90.

Students are also predominantly female, although Caucasian and male populations are growing due to media and word-ofmouth publicity. The center has also recently begun a special outreach prog"ram to the local Hispanic community. UB's sponsorship gives the downtown - center a distinct advantage over the nine other EOCs in New York. Each EOC has a coUege sponsor, but Buffalo's is the only one connected to a University C'e[lter. The local EOC can offer the students more opportunities, expertise, and personnel than those connected to smaller institutions, Moore said. Counselors from UB's EOP, for example, work with the EOC on a regular basis.

The purpose of the SUNY-wide initiative is to address problems caused by fiscal constraints of the mid- to late70s and early '80s, said ' Valdemar lnnus, associate vice president for resource planning. UB is in line to receive the largest share of this initiative because UB has the most undergraduates, he no(ed. SUNY is requesting a total of $15. million for this undersraduate upgrad1ng. This prosram is different from the graduate and research initiative (G~I), A lnnus said. The purpose of the GRI i! to take us to a new plateau of excellence, while the new effort is aimed at restoring the baseline of undergraduate offerin(!S. UB IS asking for a total budget of $202.6 million for 1988-89, a more than $20 million increase from this year·s $180.4 million, lnnus said. Another new program included in the request is $2 million ' lbr teaching hospital suppon. This would be the first year of a multi-year prosram. Other SUNY medical schoo'" receive funds for program development. These funds come through subsidies for operating their teaching hospitals. UB, which works with alTtliated hospitals instead of operating its own, doesnl receive compvable funding for program development, lnnus said "We·re asking for that missing piece," he indicated. The money would be targeted to develop centers of excellence. he noted . This program is different from the Medical School equity appropriation that UB received for three years. The medical equity question was a staffing issue, lnnus explained. UB received $756,000 i~ 1987-88 to fund 24' pOSlliOnS. ther highlights of additional funding bein' sought indlude: • $1.1 millton for inflation. • $2.2 million for base level improve- 0 ment. • $2.S million for the National Center for Earthquake Enaincerina Research. This is separate from the base budget. • $5.9 million in second-year funding for the GRI, which would include 65 FfEs. • $273,000 for temporary services. • Five positions for information technology. ·uB's budget request is just one step in an involved process. The request next goes· to SUNY where it must be approved by V>e trustees, lnnus said. SUNY's combined request then goes to the State Division of tbe Budget (DOB).

When retroviral AIDS DNA mfects a cell , the virus can't be destroyed without destroying the enure cell. "That's why there's never been any cure or vaccine for any retrovirUs, a_nd AIDS is one of them," Greatbatch satd. His current project involves the use of "designer genes," .manufacture.d by a gene machine (a ptece of eqUipment which makes DNA). These genes are introduced into healthy cells to block the entrance si te of AIDS RNA st rands. The procedure IS known as hybridization interference. The specific process Greatbatch uses is called electroporation. It inv~l~es passing 20 ,000 volts of ele~trtc•tY through cells, thus "poratmg them (riddling them wtth holes). When the procedure is carried out at zero degrees centigrade, the freezing point of water, the holes stay open for nearly one-half hour, allowtng manufactured DNA time to infiltrate the cell membrane and enter the chromosom~s.

If all g~ well, Simpson would like to expand the program to Central Duplicating on the Main Street Campus and to the Chilled Water Plant at Amherst (reams of computer printouts are spewed from the energy maintenance computer there). It could be ex.panded to other sites as well. Initially , the money collected through recycling will go into tbe ph~ tcal plant budget because it will have to assume the start-up costs, Simpson satd. He hopes that one or more parttime people will be hired. The program takes a lot of coordination - paper Jtnce to office workers and cleaning staff," Si mpson said. . From there the recycling program wtll be expanded on both campuses Simpson said . ' R ecycling is not new to UB. About I 0 years ago, at the urging of NYPIRG and the Communit y Action Corps, the University started a recy· chng program. Even after the student groups lost interest, the physical plant ~epartment s on both campuses con- tinued the program, Simpson noted. Then it was scaled back. On the Amherst Campus, only computer cards overflow~n1 and printouts were collected. h was good quality paper, the University could get a decent price for it, and it could easily be collected in one place, Simpson explained. On the Main Street Campus, papers from the print shop were collected . There were also bins behind the Clement dorm where students and neighbor- hood residents dropped off their old newspapers. But computer cards became obsolete and the price for paper dropped , he said. The death blow came when the truck that was used to collect the paper could no longer be repaired. The program was considered economically marginal and there was no way to jus- tify buying a new truck. The recycling programs on both campuses finally shut down a couple of years ago, he said.

"The pro- gram was marginal, but both supervisors, Lee Lemke and Chuck Sontag, were quite proud of what they were doing from an environmental stand- point.

Hopefu lly on recycled paper. •• weekend of tbe month. They also met with UB officials to try to start a recycling program at the University. Several changes have occurred since it was tried last. and Simpson is confident it will work this time. First, OB has found a company that will pay a decent price, will pick up frequently, and doesn~ require the Universi ty to sort the paper by quality. Two years ago, th~ price was so low and so much effort was required to deliver the paper, recycling seemed im possible, Simpson said. Now the University is working with Domtar Fiber Products, a Canadian firm located in Depew. Domtar will pay the University S50 for each ton of unsorted paper it collects - anything fro m high-quality computer paper to low-grade newsprint, Simpson said. The Universtty is really S65 in the black on the deal, he noted . Throwing paper away isn ~ free; U B has to pay S15 a ton to dump it in a landfill. "In the future, it's only going to become more costly," Simr.son predicted. The garbage barge rom New York City that Ooated seemingly around the world with no place to dock is symbolic of tbe problem, he pointed out. A nother incentive to recycling is a bill signed by the governor in July that directs State agencies to recycle more waste materials and to buy recycled products, Simpson said. Between this legislation and the "outrageous" prices being charged by landfills, recycling is the wave of the future, predicted Faith Willett. pro- Simpson added. f the program turns a profit, it's an I ope n question how the extra money will be used, he noted . To be successful, the program needs the cooperation of people at U B, Simpson aqd Colema n say.

' The paper is recycled into more paper - toilet paper, facial tissues, and lesser-quality school pads. It 's also recycled into drywall and roofing materials. Buffalo State College also has a plan to deliver paper to Domtar from its computer center and admissions department, she said. The company has bility," he said. Some people have suggested that there be incentives for the people who collect paper, such as returning some of the money to them. But at S50 a ton, it would be a pittance, Simpson said . Besides, there are enough people who want to participate, be argues, simply because it gives them personal satisfaction to do something to help ecology. And it won' be hard. " I'm firmly convinced it can be relatively painless for everyone," Simpson 0 said. 40 researchers to aHend superconductivity workshop 0 the country will make pre- made at 8:45 a.m. Researchers will make 20-minute presentations begin- sentations on research in ning at 9 a.m., with sessions finishing ver 40 scientists from across high-temperature superconductivity during a technical workshop to be held all day Monday, September 28, and Tuesday, September 29, at the Buffllo Hilton on Church Street.

A devastat ing critique of -big-time college spo rts was del ivered by Chancellor Ira Heyman of the University of California at Berkeley to an audience that received 11 (accordi ng to the! Nrw Yo rk Timrs .. in silence ... (Be rkeley is. if I'm not mistaken , o ne of the top ten public resea rch universities 10 the country?)

We have seen tutors who dKect athletes mto meaningless courses and worthless degree programs. athletiC directors who schedule games around the country to get thelf teams on pnme-11me telev1ston, without thmkmg about the classes the players will m1ss, trustees who sanct1on Illegal payments to star players, and pres1dents ~ who turn a bl1nd eye to all of th1s A pretty picture .

Chancellor Heym•n •oa on to IUk wh• r the rool cau.es of chese scandals are. He identifies one of overriding importance. 81g ·t1me sports has become commercialtied. Somehow, we have committed our selves to staging huge television extrava ganzas. We can no longer lUSt compete against each other. We have to put on a show for the nation. Being in the entertainment business is expensive. It is expensive in terms of Ume. The time we spend in putting on these shows is time we cannot spend doing other things more closely related to education. Staging these events is also expensive in terms of money. Many of us have to raise large amounts of money to stay competitive and keep the show going. We all know this and we know the pressure to keep the money coming in is what leads to overemphasis .and often to abuse anc:J corruption. What is involved in stayi ng ..competitive., In order to win (Chancellor Heyman says). we hlfe coaches who will raise the skill level of our teams to near professional standards. We seek out the very best ath· letes regardless of their academic qualifi· cat1ons. We pay substantial sums lor recruiting trips and for subscriptions to national evaluation services. We invest large amounts in equipmem, weight rooms, travel. hotel accommodations. . .We spend more and more on the most lavish sports arenas and practice facilities - including indoor. winter football practice fields. We hire numerous assistant coaches and other support staff and we spend a fortune in full-expense grants for athletes regardless of their individual financial need. .. We get caught in a spiral. We win in order to cover costs. But we have to spend more in order to win. Then. to cover these added costs. we have to find a way to get an edge over tha competition so we increase the scale and intensity of our programs. We recruit harder, extract more from our athletes and build bigger and bet- When we act accordmg to the values, not of h1gher educatiOn, but of show busmess, we hurt our msmutJOns and our students. At the co nclusion of his speech Chancellor Heyman sugges1ed the kind of refo nns he thinks would return intercollegiate athle1ics 10 health. Some of them are: elimination of grants-in-aid to alhletes, elimination of freshman eligibility for varsity competit ion, and ('."the unthinkablej abolition of bowl games and pon-scason basketball tournaments. No wonder the NCA')\ audience listened in silence! The promoters of Division I spons on our campus will say that these concerns are not oun. We are much more modest. We are a .. major public research univenity" " intending to behave like an Ivy League school. But we are only at tbe beginning of our career. President Sample will soon be gone and his pious avowals will be forgotten . The urge to be in the bi& time, once stimulated, is not easily curbed. Why shouldn't we too try to be number one? Then we will discover that Buffalo is not so different from Georgia after all. Can we not use the in1erval granted us by the rejection of our application for advancement to Division II to reconsider? It's not too late to .. change our minds. 0 - GEORGE HOCHFIELD Professor ol English Beware the Soviets •DfTOII: We'Ve heard a great deaJ in the press about the new Sovie1 policy of Glasnost : Some call it ..openness"' but my Russian dictionary calls it .. publicity .. - and 111 stick. with the latter. -We\te all heard of the great and wonderful things goin& on in the Soviet Union, 1he .. democratization."'

Williams added the screen. "Murder in the Stacks" is a 15-minute video produced by the Columbia University Library's preservation committee. Books at UB . and at libraries throughout the world, face an uncertain future . In the words of Lisa Fox, director of the preservation program for SOLINET (Southeastern Library Network), "One out of three volumes in research collections may be too brillle to use; eight out of ten may be acidic and destined to embrillle." The "Our Memory At Risk" report from the New York Document Conservation Advisory Council put it this way: " ... most of our research material will eventually disappear." According to a recent article by Eric the best option since the microfilm wiU ast March. a Congressional subcommittee heard testimony on the the hearing to "consider the problem that has been characterized as a· national emergency." Describing fedthat ''there is clearly more to be done . . . it is our nation's very memory that iS at risk ... U.S. N•ws & World R•port added close as possible to the original book ' image. In the case of the photocopied volume. Serafin is able to make a " new book." since the photocopied pages are carefully enclosed in a new binding. At present, the center only repairs and maintains books. The University, about 80 per cent .of the however, expects to take part in a nation 's books and artifacts on paper tion. •• There are now many efforts cooperative microfilmin$ project organized by the Research Ltbraries Group, of which UB is a member. Rare books under way to stem the bailie. though are enclosed that " . (are) threatened by aging and deteriorasome books have been lost forever. Director Serafin says most of the books in UB's Center for Book Preservation are not rare, nor necessarily old . As U.S. N•ws & World R•port put it. "Books once lasted for centuries, but many printed in the past few decades are crumbling." The reason is that a manufacturing method in use since 1850 employs wood pulp and alum in the paper base. Alum produces sulfuric acid when moisture is present in the air in special acid-free wrappers. This month the center staff is launch-, ing a campaign to alert students - and , faculty - to the need for careful use of. library materials. "A lot of the damage that we see is caused by poor handling," says Serafin. Posters and book marks will contain lips on how to photocopy properly, and describe habits (eating in the library, using paper clips or rubber bands on pages, etc.) that damage books. 0 Political Science sponsoring colloquium series colloquium series on "Indivi- actions by governments or otber dual Decision and Social Choice Theory•• is being pre· sented this fall by the Depart· menl of Political Science.

September 17, 1987 Volume 18, N6. 3 .Jim Walier: national rugby star ----~By~F~R~AN~K~B~A~KE~R~--- s UB continues its quest to be recognized nationally as a great university, one of its own stude nts has quietl y gained national promin('ncc in the sport he plays. Normally, such an honor would be a public relation s dream . However , unfortunately for the University - and its public relations and athletic departments - the player in question isn't a football or basketball player. As a matter of fact. he doesn't even play a recognized collegiate sport. But for Jim Walier, a senior engineering student, being recognized as the best under-25-year-old outside center in the U.S. in the relatively unkn own - in thi s country - sport of rugby, is quite enough. "To be honest, I was really surprised I made the team . .. said the modest Walier. The team he speaks of is the Jun ior Eagles. a group of men, all under 25, who will represent the Un ited States in various games and tournaments against other squads from ove rseas. An over-25 team. called simply the Eagles, is considered to be the national rugby team. While rugby is one of the national sport s of Great Britai n, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia, among others, it has never gained wid e appeal - outside of colleges - in the U.S. That is surprising, because at last count there were approximately 60d.ooo rugby players nati onally. This lack of public ra:ognition, however, has done nothing to deter Walier, who Erst played rugby as a member of UB's own Mad Turt\es rugby dub . " 1 ha ve no regrets about not playing A a more popular spol1, liJcc foorbaJI or basketball," said Walier, a star football player in high sc hoo l. " Rugby's a fun game; there 's not as much politics involved .·· I n order to achieve his number-one national ranking at outside center on the Junior Eagles, a position akin to running back in football , Walier had to go through what he called "the whole so ng and dance ... He had to make no fewer than four different teams. beginning with U B's. After leading the Mad Turtles to a third-place finish in New York State's Upstate Rugby Union (URU), and after making the URU's select side team, Walier was picked to play on an allstar team composed of players from all over the Northeast. His impressive showing there resulted in the opportunity to play on the East- tournament in New Orleans last winter. The next hurdle for the 21-year-old native of Hamburg was to have a good outing at the Inter-Territorial Tournament (ITI) held just outside Albany in late May. Success there, he knew , would mean a chance at making the Junior Eagles. " I didn' really think I played that well a the ITis, so I didn' know how good a chance I had," recalled Walier. " But I did play well at a camp in Baltimore (before tbe ITis) where we played a team from Tunisia. I also think my coach from the Eastern team helped me get picked." ern Rugby Union's team at a S urprised or not, Walier made the team and will hold onto his number-one ranking and spot on the Junior Eagles until next rc:ar's ITis. "I thought my age m1gbt hinder me some," he said, "but I auess the coaches decided to go with a younger guy rather than having a 25-year-old who could play on the team only for one year." Being a member of the Junior Eagles also makes it financiall,Y easier for Walier to pursue the sportmg life. Up to this po int, he has had to pick up one-third of his expenses, one-third has been paid for by his team, and the remainder, by the particular rugby union, or league, that his team played in. Now the Eagles will pa y for everything. "That will help a lot," said Walier. Especially next fall, w~n his te'¥" will head to New Zealand for a tour. As for now, Walier plans to finish at U B by the spring . and will continue to play rugby for the Buffalo Old Boys, the lOcal men 's team. By playing for the Old Boys; he will be: able to continue to improve. and someday, he said, will give bis knowledge to other players . " 111 probably end up coaching," said Walier. "But I have no desire to go to Europe, or anywhere else, to try to make a living at it. My goal now IS to make the Eagles." With all he has accqmplished in rugby, Walier remembers his humble beginnings in the sport. "Playing and being captain at UB helped me a lot," he said . " By being a club sport that we had to run ourselves, UB's rugby team helped me to learn administration and other things that will aid me in the future ."

The first play in the series. Ufting Weights. was wr llten by Molly Heller-Wagner, a stu den t 10 UB 's Master of Humanities progra m. and will be directed by I am my Ryan. an alumna of UB's I kpa rtment of Ti)<atre and Dance . lla rlee n Pickering Hummert. pub~ity d1 recto r and asststant to the chairman ol the Department of Theatre and Da nce, will act in the performance. The play concerns a woman traumatiled by the ordeal of a full-term stillll"th . a nd the resultant growth of her mar riage . Playwright Heller-Wagner re marks that the play is about fragmen ta tion of the mind and body, and abou t the process of healing. The · staged reading series was conceived by Ryan, who, with the support ol 1he artistic co-directors of the Caba ret . Erica Wohl and Robert Dow ning. plans to produce the plays at d ra te of one every other month. All of the plays are origi nal works, written by v.o men from Western New York. The readings will be performed script tn ha nd . with minimal props and scenrr~ According to Ryan, who is mounr'"F Lifting Weights in jl relatively short tvdl· week rehearsal period, at times the . . cn pt itse lf can become a prop.

Molly H<-ller-Wagner wrote Ufting Wtt!fhts whtle enrolled tn a playwriting semma.r at U 8 , under the tutelage of !'nna Kay France, associate professor tn the Departments of Theatre and English. Previous to Ufting Weights. she had wntten a play called Sis•erly Love. Johnson hopes to make Native American women less 'invisible' By FRANK BAKER 10 Heller- Wagner particularly val ues the opportuntty to have her play produced as an mformal staged reading. She observes that the chance to bear the play spoken by actors will undoubtedly lead to revisions. "A play is never finished," she says. This project also renects an important aspect of her Master of Arts in Humanities degree, which will combine the sludies of Eng~ lish and theatre arts. Heller-Wa-ner, who already holds a Master of Divmity degree from Harvard , sees the M.A. H. as a way to work " in a more creative way." T he reading at the Cabaret provides her with a valuable step toward that goal. 0 N ancy Johnson's goal is to make the Native American woman less "invisible'." Thanks to Governor Mario Cuomo she is getting a chance to make thai goal a reality. _C uomo's role in helping Johnson, a thud-year graduate student in Native American studies at UB. was to name her to the New York State Council for the Human ities a non - profit government agency that gives grants to hu1_11anities projects such as documentanes. conferences, and symposiums. "Native Americans are about the most invisible people that ex.ist in this country," explained Johnson . For example, "on any government form, there are .spaces to fill in if you are black, whtte, or Hispanic. We have to fill in the box marked 'other.' " It's that type of non-classification that has led Johnson, a member of the Onondaga n~tion, to fig ht for recogniho~ of NatlYe Americans through a senes _of ~ectures to various groups and orgamz.auons and at other colleges. It was through her lecture series that a Cuomo aide heard about Johnson and suggesled her appointmeni to the councll . The governor made the appointment on July 21. "I was~\ picked because of my ex_pert1se 10 Native American studies," satd a modest Johnson. "I Waf picked , because I am a' Native American who happens to 6e from upstate. Thex needed more people on the coun.c1P' from upstate .... ow that she's on the State board, Johnson said her goal is to work with Native Ame rican women, one of the groups that has suffered the most from di sc rimination in American society.

"Portrait of Buffalo II," at Bethune Gallery through October 6, is the outgrowth of a project conceived by CEPA Gallery, and co-sponsored by UB and CEPA, with funds provided by the office of Robert L. Palmer, UB vice provost for student affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Curator is Gail Nicholson, assistant director of CEPA . In organizing "Portrait of Buffalo," four accomplished artists were invited to photograph, or otherwise document. aspects of minority life in Buffalo. Last April, they each spent week-long residencies here, after being put in touch with their subjects, who ranged from celebrities to the poor and indigent. Black New York City photographer and graphic artist Fern Logan was already well-known for her portraits of successful black artists, writers and personalities, figures tike famed choreographer Alvin Ailey. She attended Pratt Institute in New York, and later studied photography with Paul Camponigro at the Apeiron Workshop. For the Buffalo project , Logan dectded to photograph successful black Buffalo.niaru, relaying to the viewer sometbang of the1r environment and lifestyle. She sees her subjects as role models for young blacks and hopes to one day publish a book of such photos. Carefully setting up each shot, Logan photographed former WGRZTV newscaster Darrell Dennard between two large TV cameras.

SEFA is a charitable contribution plan that benefits more than J00 non profit local, national, and international organizations and charities, many of them through the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. This year's campaign will run from Sept. 18 to Oct. 16. UB's 1987 goal is $410,000, up a lmost II per cent from last year. And SEFA campaign volunteers are confident that the goal will be met , Buttough sa id , " because the United Way helps so many UB people." Hundreds of UB employees and their families receive assistance through United Way-supported agencies such as C hild and Family Services, Compass House, Neighborhood Legal Serv1ces, the Jewish Center of Greater Buffalo Inc. , YM C A, YWCA, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Campfin: Counc1l, and the Community Music School. "The real reason they give, however, is diffen:nt," Bullough noted. " We have a growing number of people who really care about the United Way, who are really turned on to helping." UB's response to tbe SEFA ~rive . is consistently strong, w1th the UmversttY ranking seventh among 57 large umyersities in the amount of money ratsed last year, she added, ·citing a survey by the United Way of Buffalo and Ene County. By comparison, UB ranked 30th by enrollment and 31st by ~um~r of employees among the umvers111es tn the survey. • we have one of the best records in the country and it is going up," Bullough said .

EFA allows people to choose the method of Jiving - either through payroll dtduction, pledge, or a general ""'' ' one-time contribution - as well as the specific agency or a.r:ncies that ~ll receive their contributions. The U ntted Way also may be specified as the recipient of SEFA funds, allowma those contributions to be made in areas when: the need is the areatest. · The rcsponsc to the need for volunteers also has been ouUtandin&, Bullouab said.

Wild e felt that when it came to lying, even politicians, lawyers, and journalists had become incompetent. .. They never rise beyond the level of misre prese ntation , and actually condescend to prqve, to discuss, to argue, .. Wilde said . .. How different from the temper of the true liar, wit h his frank , fearless statements, his superb irrespc nsi bility, his health y, natural disdain of proof of any kind! After all. what is a fine lie? Simply that whi ch is its o wn evidence. If a man is suffic ien tl y unimaginati ve tO prod uce evidence in support of a lie. he might as well spea k the truth at o nce." Today, as we a pproach th e end of th e 20th century. Wilde wo uld be pleased . Not o nl y has the art of lying surv ived, but the demands o f modern bureaucracy have mtsdc 11 a n esscl\ tial pa rt of dail y li vi ng.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Pointed . Frank . Even blunt. That's the style of John Boot, the new chairman of the Fa_culty Senate, and he m>kcs no apolog~es . " I call the shots the way I sec them," says the professor of management "and preferably with the people j comment about present. · " I have nothmg to hide. (When 1 make a statement), I think I can liack 1t up." And he takes the Oak. "They_get back at me; they tell me 1 antagomze people and irritate people. ~omet_i~es it's by design, but somelimes 11 tsn\," he said matter-of-factly. He likes putting things in his own words and prefers a Vi~wpoinu essay over an article that is predigested by a reporter. With that in mind, here are Boot 's co mments on issues that will come up in the next two years: P arking, arm ing, and athletics were big issues last year, but none were of primary importance to the facult y, Boot satd. However, the issue of deactivation of p~ograms. in the Statistics Department ~111 contmue to be an issue, he predicted . It's a self-inOicted wound and is ve ry annoying . .. It does more to our prestige with the outside world than arming or athletics could ever do," ._he said. A few weeks after . the issue came up, one faculty .member said he heard it being discussed at a conference in France. Boot said lie has had a couple of ~equests from faculty to look at certain ISSUCS . One is cheating: how faculty ca.n belter avoid it, cope with it, and punish it in their classes. This falls in line with an issue that wlll return from last year - honesty in research. This includes using fraudulent data or putting your name on a paper when you were only tangentially involved. It would be nice to have rules and regulations before an incident comes up , Boot said . "We'd better be ahead of the game• before something happens," he suggested. He said he favors a rule employed by a certain economics journal. It says that if somebody wants to duplicate your study, you have to supply your raw data. "Sometimes I'm far more ashamed of the faculty." Some hand in grades late, miss class or arrive late, or aren' prepared, be said. "Before the f8C)Ihy bave ., ri&ht to com~n about millor'-·tttihgs that go wrong, they should be more selfcritical," he asserted. The routine delivery of educational services is where most improvements can be made, he added. For instance, there is no program supervising teaching assistants; ifs a shambles, he said . When it comes to maJfeasance when faculty don't deliver services or do it very sloppily - ·students are slow to complain. But when they do complain, faculty are treated with velvet gloves, Boot contended. One place where the University is doing a fine job, he feels, is in acclimatizing new faculty in the four-<lay summer program run by the Office of Teaching Effectiveness. however, is skeptical of the not her issue is the review of deans. University's push for excellence. B"I'moot, There's an administrative review, A perhaps more cynical about legbut no review by the faculty, he explained . To make sure they carry no onus, such reviews should be periodic and routine. The University i~ many respects is well run, Boot says. There's salt on the streets, chalk is iri place at the blackboards, paychecks are accurate, the people in the libraries are cool'<:rative, . and the Reporter comes out on ume. Boot came on campus one snowy Saturday morning and the campus streets were plowed. " I'm quite impressed by that," he said . S~ial ~ been obvious that the letters were written in a hurry, but administrators tak e one sentence out of context and let it make or break a case. Another related problem is promotion and tenure. In Electrical Engineering, nine assistant professors in a row were denied tenure, he said. Either the University has to be more critical in choosing professors at the assistant professor level, or the standards at the associate professor level arc too high. he suggested . ''We have to real ize we can't be Harvard overnight - we can't be Harvard at all," Boot said . '"We don't have the top students or the top faculty. But there's always a place for a good runner-up. " Nothing is -gained by playing the game of 'we are number one· or 'number three ' or whatever. I'd rather have an all-around. solid, and respected institution. rather than be clamoring to be number one or number two. " Education · is "value added," Boot said. In this country, second-rate student s can go to second-rate institutions and be better for it, he said, adding, "I think thafs our function ."' As a State University, UB should aim for the middle of tbe performance curve because that"s where most people are, he said. We should serve aU of the people of the State, not just the top fi ve per cent. e said he docsn ~ begrudge the president si nging the praises of the University and sett ing high standards. But there are only one or two UB facult y in the Nalional Academy of Sciences. U B has only one Nobel laureate . a nd he 's "barely a faculty member," Boot said .. (The Nobel laureate has a part-time appointment.) However, the president is on the right track in trying to build tics with industry, Boot conceded. The University should be a catalyst. In the past year, critics of the Faculty Senate have called it weak. They have a point, Boot acknowledged. "The Faculty Senate has no real power," he said . "It's too diffused, uninformed, and unfocused and it shoots too much from the hip," Boot said . He implied that part of that is because it seeks to make suggestions in areas in which faculty don l have the expertise. The entire ftfth Ooor of Capen, with some spillover onto the fourth, is occupied by full-time, professional administrators, he pointed out. Compared to them, the faculty arc rank amateurs . And it's not the faculty's job to run the University, be added. " But if I say something, not on arming or parking, but on something interesting, I hope they listen," he said. 0 H Work receives grant ·for minority help project he School of Social Work at UB haS received a grant of $84,902 for a project designed to upgrade assistance for minority families of the mentally retarded and developmentally disabled.

In one of a number of references to the Statistics Department, Boot said the administration "missed the boat" in chopping off what they decided was not excellent.

By the year 1995, Ph.D.s are going to be the people who have the jobs and make the money, according to Colin Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch, a junior in the English Department at U8, made this assess- B ment while working at the Career Planning and Placement Office. His study, titled "Jobs Outlook," was a final project for a unique new program called the Minority Undergraduate Higher Education Management Development Program. The program, according to Cliff Wilson, director of personnel, was designed to help attract minority students to higher education management positions. "The University is very interested in hiring affir matively ," sa id Wilson . "We 've had a great deal of trouble attractmg minorities to certain position s and th ose that are out..there are in great demand . So what we wanted to do was inte rest mo re minorities in higher educatio n as a field ." The program is designed to give outstanding minority students a chance to see how various non-teaching professionals work at the universit y level. Malcolm Agostini, UB's affirmative action officer. noted that m1norities often apply for the positions, but may be missmg ample experience. The program is designed to provide role models for the students. It also provides each of these students with a chance to interact on a professional level and to find out what their strengths and weaknesses are as an employee. Students wh o participate in the program receive a stipend of S 1,400 a semester, which comes from a temporary services line. They are placed in an office that matches their interests and are assigned to a mentor. Cumberbatch, for example,. expressed an interest in career planning, was assigned to the Career Planning and Placement Office, and placed under the guidance of Eugene Martell, the director of that office. "Students are assigned to .a department for 15 hours a week," said Wilson. "The idea. is to give them something to do on a more professional level, something that gets done in that office every day." Colin Cumberbatch Personnel. Student Affairs. Accounting, Purchasing, Special Prog rams . the School of Management, and the School of Dental Medicine. Students are selected by academic ability, an interest in higher education as a field , and an interview process. For fall , Wilson said, the undergraduate program has been expanded to 15 students and a grad uate version of the program also has been started by the committee, which consists of Wilson; Agostini; and Robert Palmer, vice provost for student affairs. , The graduate program is different because students will be offered paid full-time University positions with benefits and a tuition waiver. Their responsibilities will be split between academic responsib.ilitics and work with an administrative office that fits their interest area. The students in this program must also be interested in receiving a master's degree in either the School of Management or the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology. • higher education as a field. D oes it sound like a lot of work? Well, it is, according to . ~lson. Students must undergo constant evaluation by a mentor both ~ their academic department and on thetr job. " We're expecting that it will take a student between two to three years to complete the program," said Wilson. "They're expected to .be able to do well in both the work envtronment and keep up with their academic responsibilities." Students will also be given ample chance to attend special trainin$ programs. If they decide to stay m the program past the first year, they can choose to work in different offices. ThiS will hopefully give them a feel for the University as a whole.

All arc untcnured faculty mcmbc!ll and all are assistant professors, with the exception of deTurck, an associate professor. Their award m9ney may be used for such things as travel to other universities with similar programs, purchase of computer software or audiovisual materials . or as salaries for part-time instructors or graduate assistants. The Office of Teaching Effectiveness, headed by Psychiatry Professor Norman Solkoff, was created in 1985•by President Sample to help UB faculty mcmbc!ll improve their teaching skills. In administering the LiUr Fellows program, the office solicits propoals, awards the grants, and evaluates the resul~. Fellows are also provided with oppot'tunities to interact with !leW colleagues from other disciplines and with faculty identified as outstanding teachers, such as the Chancellor's Award recipients. Fall and spring conferences organ--ized by the Lilly Endowment Inc. enable all fellows to meet faculty from other universities who are also interested in teaching effectiveness. Universities currently participating in the fellowship program, established in 1974, are: Yale Univel'llity, SUNY at Stony Brook, the Unive!llity of Georgia, the Univcl'llity of Massachusetts at Amherst, and the Univenity of Pittsbur&h. Next year, Ohio State Univcl'llity, the Univc!llity of Alabama, and the Univc!llity of Pennsylvania will join the list. Other programs of the Office of Teaching Effectiveness include a summer Faculty Development Program, held Aug. 17-20 this year, designed for new and recently hired UB faculty. The program presents information on teaching effectiveness .techniques and provides an orientation to UB. n addition, the office will administer Igram the Teacher..COunc Evaluation (TCEP) bqinning this fall The Pro- program, designed by Northeastern University scholan, ts a computerbased system which produces individllal evaluat1ons based on questionnaires completed by students and their teacben.

Thorpe,. the new vice provost for undergraduate education at UB. But through his administrative experiences while a mathematics professor at SUNY at Stony Brook and his administrative posts with the National Science Foundation, Thorpe discovered that it's something he enjoys. .. This job is the right combination of administration and direct involvement with undergraduate education," Thorpe said of the vice provost post. .. It's tailor-made to my tastes ... Thorpe spen t 16 years at SUNY at Stony Brook . For about a half dozen of those years, he was director of the undergraduate program in mathematics. For three years he was director of the graduate program in mathematics. Three years ago, he was invited to go to the National Science Foundation . Federal emphasis on education was being started back up in 1984, after it was earlier phased out by President Reagan, he explained . Thorpe took a l~ave from Stony Brook. Thorpe was program director for a unit that developed instructional materials for pre-college classes in science and mathematics. He had planned to go back to Stony Brook after two . years. but remained a third year to serve as deputy divisio n director. Before he got back to Stony Brook, the vice provost position at U 8 came up. There were several reasons he wanted the position. • .. The whole place is on the move, .. Thorpe remarked of UB. "The undergraduate college idea is C". great idea. It's more than just an idea; it's beginning to operate. " But we're still at the beginning. There's an excitement about something being created; a challenge to take the concept and . working with the faculty, make something really significant. "The faculty is a real strength of the Universit y. The ones I've talked to so far I'm really impressed with, and it seems a core is really interested in undergraduate education ... At a research university, you1i usually find a few individuals here and there with an interest in undergraduate education . But UB is different because there·s a grou p that has come together, Thorpe explai ned. John Thorpe New vice provost looks forward to challenge of helping create undergrad college For that, Thorpe looks to the faculty. "An administrator doesn't dictate programs." Thorpe said . "There's no way an individual could create a really good program. '" My job is to bring people together and do whatever I can to su pport them. ·•rm convinced exci ting ideas don't come from the top; they co me from the grass roots. We need a su pportive environment where those ideas can grow." His first few weeks will be spent just meeting people. he said. He plans to work closely with Robert L. Palmer. the new vice- provost for student affairs. A student"s academic life and campus life are very closely intertwined and probably should be even mote intertwined . Thorpe remarked. Thorpe likes what he"s seen at U B so far. He finds the Honors Prollram very exciting. The Office for Teachong Effectiveness is a great idea - you don "l find them on a lot of campuses. The freshman seminar program seems off to a good start. The difficulty will be in sustaining it. but Thorpe said he has high hopes for it. Eventually Thorpe will teach now and tben, but in the beginning, there•s a lot to learn. he said . " l"m here to help the faculty and University move forward in these areas." he said . James Bunn, the first vice provost for • undergraduate education, wiU go on sabbatical this year, then return to his duties as professor of English. Dunn was vice provost for three years. It was to be a two-year assignment, but he agreed to serve an extra year to help set up the new undergraduate college. T horpe '"comes superbly recommended after a period of distinguished service at the NSF," said Provost William_ Greiner. ~He also gave superb serv1ce at Stony Brook, where he is very highly regarded in his department and by the administration." Greiner added that Thorpe has fine experience in undergraduate education. espcciaUy in mathematics. Thorpe "has a balance of experience. aptitude, and interest." Greiner said. and since he's from outside UB. "he11 bring a different penpective to this campus." Thorpe received his S.B. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1958. From Columbia University, he received his M.A. in 1959 and his Ph.D . in 1963. In addition to Stony Brook. he has taught at Columbia. M . I.T., and Haverford College. 0 H e sees a lot of challenges ahead. The biggest is putting in place a coherent general education program. UB archaeologist has new workplace at old fort By DAVID C. WEBB fter more than five years of labor, a sto rage· building at Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown has become an office and work place for the archaeology staff, including Stuart D. Scott. Ph.D., who is director of archaeology at the fort and associate professor of anthropology at U B. Known as "Build ing 42" from its previous military use, the building is officially called the Old Fort Niagara Archaeology and Collections Center. With all the renovation completed, Seott said confiden tly, "We now have the best ~h faciltty in the State for doing this type- of thina." The building was opened on June 19 during the annual dinner and meeting of tbe Old Fort Niagara Association. "Out of a dire need for space, we thought the buildina would be ideal and scrambled around for the resources to tear out the building." Seott said. "It was down to a brick shell, then the • board members started a fund-raising A campaign.ft About $160,000 was donaud toward the renovation . lncludiag volunteer labor and donated materiall, the total in donations comes to S2SO,OOO, accord- ing to Scott. Early in the campaign, which started two years ago, the Gannett Foundation donated $50,000. In appreciation for the donation, the association named the conference room in the building the Gan nett Conference Room. The foundation also will donate $6,000 for the purchase of a board table and chairs for the room. Scott said the building has a large basement that could be used for future expansion - possibly for working on artifacts to be gathered from underwater archaeology in the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. "We haven't done any significant marine archaeology, but we hope to make a beginning on it this fall." Scott said. The main thrust of the underwater archaeology will be a survey of the shoreline around the park area, wbere there may be evidence of old breakwalls or other artifacts. Seott indicated that there are at least 14 sbipwnoc:b in Lake Ontario that . could be explored and excavated. An:baeolofical activities at the fort attract a wide variety of volunteers from Niagara and Erie Counties, includi~ people from .the Univenity commumty. ······ ..... ... .. . D uring the last diggina season, the archaeology team made an exciting discovery - buried wood structures that were from an old gun deck of Old Fort Niagara. Scott said that they were excavating the area because the administraton of the fort wanted to do some remedial work on the breaker walls along the shoreline. Before the walls could be repaired, the area had to be excavated for archaeological evidence that might be destroyed in the remediation process. The find enabled the group to understand exactly how the gun deck was constructed by the United States in the 19th century. with a perfect view across Lake Ontario to Mwissaugua, where the Canadians had their fort. Many of the fortifications at Fort Nia(!ara, including the gun deck, were built in the 1800s, during border disputes between the U.S. and Canada. Acc<trding to Patricia Scott, assistant director of the fort and Stuart's wife, the archaeology team uncovered timbers that were 12 by 12 inches and seven vertical posts, along with a cache · of leather goods, such as shoes and a , .fatigue cap. During a sabbatical leave in 1986, the Seotts went to Tumania (an island .. . .... ..... ....... . . . ., .................. .. south of Australia) to trace New York residents who were exiled there after a failed attempt to invade Canada. "That makes a fascinating and littleknown part of New York history." said Stuart Scott. The Scotts will both talk about the Tasmanian connection to Buffalo and the invasion of Canada during a lecture at Old Fort Niagara in the faU. According to Brian Dunnigan, director of the fort, Buildinjl 42 had several different uses prior to 1ts adaptation as an archaeological work space. "In 1897, the U.S. Army used the building as a forage warehouse for animal feed," Dunnigan said. In the 1920s, the building may have been a school holllt:, but Dunnigan said he was not certain that it was used that way. The building became a post engineer's office until 1963, when it became a park police station. For about seven years before the recent renovation, it was abandoned. <:rhe floor bad deteriorated to the point that 1 put my foot throuah it." Dunnigan said. M( thouabt the rest of me wu JOin& to follow. ft With the renovation finished, the once-abandoned buiJdin& is now a real to the fort lite. 0 .. .. ·~ · '· .... ~ . . . . . . . . . 1~ .... \ • ' • ••.• �~ber 10, 1187 Volume 19, No. 2 _ Kurtz panel debunks rePort of UFO crash By FRANK BAKER T hanks to the work of a very umque committee chaired by a UB _professor. documents purportmg to tell of a secret unit set up b~ President Harry S. Truman to mvestogate the crash of a flying saucer have been proven to be false. The falsified documents i~dicated that a federal panel. with t e code name Majestic 12 or just MJ- 2, had been set up by Truman in 1947 to stud y the crash of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico. The doomed saucer allegedly contained the bodies of four alien beings, a piece of gossip that has been rampant in "'flying saucer" clrdes for years. The documents, if they had been real, would have finally transformed that story from folklore to fact . "If this hadn' been a hoax, it would have been the biggest news in man's history," chuckled Paul Kurtz, a UB philosophy professor and chairman of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) - a nonprofit scientific and educational group that "encourages the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe science claims .... However, "'the evidence clearly shows that these are hoax documents .... he added . They are "one of the most deliberate acts of deception ever perpetrated against the news media and the public." The false documents were made J\Ub· lie in May by William L. Moore, a researcher on UFOs. Moore said then that his research team had found a key White House repon in the National Archives dated July 14, 1954. It appeared to have been prepared for the Air Force by Robert Culler, a White House aide, and mentioned a change in plans for an MJ-12 briefing for President Eise nhower. ccording to Moore, photos of MJ12 documents were found on an undeveloped roll of 35mm film received by Jamie Shandera, an associate UFO researcher for Moore. from an unknown source in December, 19&4. Moore claims that he, Shandera, and anotber associate, Stanton T. Friedman, spent more than two years trying to autbenticate the MJ-12 documents before recently deciding to make them public. Kurtz's committee report, prepared by Philip J. Klass, the Washington editor of Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine, said Moore's documents were sus picio us for several reasons. A First, Moore's papers don' bear the required top secret registration number and are marked "Top Secret Restricted Information" - a designation that was not used until the Nixon administra- tion. Second, according to Klass, Cutler could not possibly have written a July 14th memo in 1954 because he had departed Washington' II days earlier on an extended trip to visit military facilities in Europe and North Africa and did not return to Washington until July 15. Furthermore, another key document of Moore's - which appears to be a September 24, 1947, letter from President Truman to DefeRse Secretary James Forrestal instructing him on the formation of MJ-12 - seems to be a fake because it does not jibe with other Truman documents of the same era. For example, authentic Truman letters to Cabinet members began: "My Dear Secretary . . ., "with the full name and address of the intended .recipient typed in at the lower left comer of the page. However, in Truman's S)lpposed September 24, 1947, letter to Fom:stal, the counterfeitor forgot to type Forresta.J's name, title and address at lower left and used "Dear Secretary Fonestal" rather than Truman 's normaJ ... My Dear Secretary." unz said he feels there are many other reasons why the documents would have to be false . " First of all, with our media, things of this magnitude cannot be kept secret," he said . "Just look at Watergate ... Kurtz also said the government would have had no motive to keep such a finding secret. "Why would the government keep it a secret?" asked Kurtz. "It wasn' a matter of defense so there really was no motive for secrecy .... A member of the editorial board of The Skeptical- lnfiuirer. a quarterly K ~~~s!idp~ f!\s ~he ~c~"i~~:!:e '\n interfln about UFOs led to the surfacing of the documents. The papers ...came from UFO believers who think the government is hold ing back information on UFOs because it would be harmful for the public to know," said Kurtz. "I hope those behind the document s are found and prosecuted .... Kurtz's CSICOP group, which bas a UFO suiH:ommittee, was founded in 1976 at U B. Since that time, 45 similar groups have sprung up throughout the world . The committee's magazine has a circulation of 35,000 and its investigations , into the paranormal are conducted by a pool of over 700 scientists, scholars, and philosophers. Kurtz noted that his committee has worked on such other notable cases as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Amityville Horror story. None of them passed muster with the toughminded professor and his associates. 0 Letters End the monopoly!

Sample, president, UB It's fair to sa y that the merge r with SUNY was th e seco nd mosl important event in th e history of the Universi ty, next on ly to the founding. It radicall y c hanged the c haracter of the inslitution . On balance, those changes have been very. very positi ve. not only for UB. but for Western New York, the State , and the co nstituencies that the Univer- sity se rves. A s we look at history prior to th e merger, t_he U ni ~ersity _ w~ _a good , mcdium-stzcd regtonal tnstuuu on. and 11 had been that for some time . Now it is a large, com prehensive, national uni versi t y with a growing international reputation for excellence. The key factor in th b dramatic gro wth in size, complexit y. and aca- demic excellence has been rc:-.o u_rccs. From its inception as a pn va tc umvc rsit y in 1846, U.B was Slarved for resources - not just in absolu tc . tcrms (because no universit y has all the resources it needs to do the JOb], but also in relative terms - relati ve to other pri vate uni versi ties a sso~ia ted with a particular city - Columb1a. ~he Universily of Chicago. Johns Hopkms in Ba lt imore. even relative to the Univers ity of Roc hester. The history of the priva te University was noble and there was a traditio n of quality and service. but the reso urce base was ne ver comparable . Merger with SUNY in 1962 dramaticall y changed that one critical facl. I would be the last to say that being part of SUNY has been a bed of roses ; it hasr.'t been. It's meant traumatic changes for the University. It has even set back th e development of the institution in cenain ways. But, overall, being part of the State University system in New York has made it possible for UB to flourish in a way that was s1mply iml~~~b~~ ~~o~~~ord: 90 new buildings have been built over the last 25 years at a cost of S600 miHion. Several more curren tl y under way or in th~ planning stages. The constructaon the new campus and renovation of old has been the largest single building program in the history U.S. Of coorse, we don' have all the facilities that we need. we don' yet have eV.n the · plement of facilities that every university should have. But the that, in general, we enjoy the . modern physical plant of any maJor university in the country. The same development can be seen faculty-staff salaries, especially salaries. The academic salary at UB at the time of major problem that bad cellor Capen through thn:e had continued to plague Furnas through the 50s. faculty salaries, while perhaps quate in certain areas,. rank., on age, with the very best m the country. A similar kind of analysis can be made with respect to our. scientific equipment base and our hbrary resources today, vis~a-vis what they were in 1962. The Universi ty's transitio n from private to public status was mad~ more difficult because New York dod not enjoy the century-old tradition of excellence in public higher educat1on that existed in most other states. In fact , one of the most important things . t~at SUNY did to build such a tradotoon was to bring U B into the system. ~ot until UB came in, could SUNY poont to a campus that "tad the range of graduate and p:ofes~i? n~J programs of ·major public umversaues m ot her states. So while being part of SUNY has had a dramatic effect o n UB. the reverse IS also true. The move from the old to th e new campus was very trau matic and co~­ tinues to affect the development of t~ 1s institution. T ryi ng to lea rn to hve within the almost suffocating bureaucratic enviro nment of New York State. especially as it existed in ~he 60s, was very difficult and traumatiC for everyone at the Univerliity. But not ooly h'!5 U B learned to exist and compete _m that milieu, we were one of t.he maJOr fo rces that led to changong that envi ro nment in 1985. As a result . today not o nl y UB but the entire SUNY syste m enj oys grea ter flcx1 bilaty and freed o m fro m interference from State bureaucracy than most public universities in other states. We arc well on our way to becoming one of th e very best public research un iversities in America. and SUNY well on its way to becoming one of the . premier systems of the natio n. I'd say 25 years later that the verdoct is pretty clear: the merger was a good thing for UB, for SUNY , for Buffalo, for Western New York, and for all the people of this State. Irving H. Shames, distinguished teaching professor; Faculty professor. Faculty of Engineermg and Applied Sciences. Jrvi~g Sh~mes joined UB as a profess.or and chairman of the now-defunct Dtvision of Interdisciplinary Studies, an inno v ative program that brought together several distinct areas of engineering. "At the time I came here, I I could bav~ gone, that th is was going to be one of the top universities in the East," Shames saad . .zwe were starting up a campus completely from sc ratch. We felt we were really going places - we expected to go to 40,000 students. There was a lot of money at that time that woul~ have given us the finest campus 10 the country." . . The rapid growth of the Unoversoty and the new dependence on a much larger sys tem brought some unwelcome changes, though, Shames pointed oul. "One of the things that · amazed me when I came here was that every secretary knew every other secretary on a firsb-namc basis. Now I 'don't even know people from my own building. "Everything was done so smoothly, everything was done with a minimum of difficulty," when the University was still private, he added. "When the State took over, they put glue into the system. Albany was impossible in the early years and, for an administra~or, it was very difficult to get anythmg done. That has changed a lot - ' it could still be improved, but it bas changed ." Althougll some of the grand plans for the new public University have been scrapped over the years, Shames noted , the mood of the early years of the merger seems to have come back. . "The euphoria is staning up agam but now with some teeth in it. Every school says it wants to be in the top I0 but, by God, it's happening here - t~is is the first place I've seen that, and _I ve been teaching 35 years. I can see II on our graduate students. The measure of the quality of a school has been whether it could attract top American graduate studertts. We're domg that. " I really think this place is on the move - before it was JUSt talk ~ now I think it's hap'!"ning. I wish I were 20 Milton Plesur, professor of history. Faculty of Social Sciences. "At the time of the merger, I was in favor of it as I am now, even though man y people were worried that we would be mired down in the bureau." cracy of the State," said Ples~r. wh o was assistant dean of U mvers1ty College (the then undergraduate college) in 1962. " And at tomes we are mored down. The faculty does have to do more, and it can almost be 'big broth· erish.' There's an, awful lot of (red tape) that you have to go through now like filling out forms in triplicate - a lot of rigama.role. But I think it's been good overall, and the University does stand and nourish here because of the merger." One of the things that worried th e faculty 25 years ago, Plesur rem embered, was the threat of I05ing academic freedom. "Academic freedom had been part of the mortar that Chancellor Capen brought to this University when he came in I 923. Capen gave the impres· sion of faculty independence, and he was a great defender of academic freedom . There were a lot of people' wh o wondered if this could be continued . And it has been, although there was a giving up of autonomy that came with the territory. "'When the University was private, it was a good , small, high-<juality institution, but it was poor.

But I'm not sure we've remembered the faculty who stayed with the University through the hard times. "When we got the new union building (Squire Hall, now the School of Dental Medicine) , we brought in renowned speakers, our food facilities were much better, the movie series was enlarged; we had ga,me rooms, a browsing library, a music room. All those kinds of activities help students learn. " We used to take a traffic count at the end of the year. Around 1970, there were about 28,000 stud,ents coming in each day. We were servi ng the Universi ty community ... Despite reservations about the present lack of a student union, Haas is enthusiastic about the overall changes in the University since it joined SUNY. " It's wonderful to be an alum of U8, a University that now stands for community help, state help, and worldwide help." Eugene L. Galer, professor, coun seling and educational psychology, Faculty of Educational Studies. were uprooted from a friendly, sheltered setting in an urban surrounding and dropped in the middle of a dour, isolated tundra dotted with warehouselike buildings that serve - at best - as daily reminders of the tyranny of architects who were unaware of the importance of classroom interaction and the significance of a University as a built environment. Rather than becoming the nucleus of a new University, the new campus seemed to isolate and further segment the expanding University. "As the University enters its academic adolescence, a number of recurrio~ . unresolved problems remain: How to Integrate the undergraduate students into University life? How to reduce campus fragmentation? How to improve the quality of teaching? What roles should the liberal arts play at a Univers ity with major commitments to marketplace appeal? How to make the campus user friendly? No doubt, the search ing for parking will continue to remain sal ient even in a setting that has acres upon acres of open space. And, this year. alas, in adolescent fashion, a new concern has been added: How to attract gladiators of sport assuming, perhaps, that prowess on the field will enhance the kind of academic reputation being sought 25 years after Statehood." .. For a small, private University with a modest endowment, the -arrival of State· hood suddenly presented opponunities for an educational epiphany rarely offered to an entire Universi ty com· munity," sa id Gaier. who has been at U 8 si nce 1960. "Sanguine in the belief that large budgets and plans for massive expansion could be convened into bold and adventurous schemes that would attract instant recognition, the University embarked on a reorganizat;on that Dorothy Haas, former director of the student union, the person for whom the famed former Haas Lounge in Squire Hall, was named. Dorothy Haas joined U 8 in 1934 as secretary to the director of the student union . From 1945 until her retirement 21 year later, she served as director of the student union. In many ways, Haas recalls the changes in the University in te rms of how they affected students. Joining the State system was Mwonderful," Haas said. wwe needed finances to expand and to pay and attract dif- and tone of the University. The place was literally exciting. " It was a substantially more collegial place though (before the merger). People knew people ~ panty because there was a faculty club. Now, the University ~ is more departmentalizcd,#more compartmentalizicd. "There was a more intellectual environment," before the merger, Hunt added. The students, too, were more intellectual, less career-oriented. ·"Now, the University is more concerned with the world' out there." The physical appearance of the Uni· versity was more appealing then than it is now, Hunt added. Philip G. Miles, professor, biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. brou8bt many desirable changes: the development of new and creative prol!rams, the concept of the Colleges, Imaginative hiring, an increase in a student body that was both less regjonal and less parochial, new research facilities, greatly expanded library holdings. These were accomplished rather early through a mixture of daring, serendipity, and State mandate, and set in place within the social pressures that overwhelmed the campus during the late 1960s. • "After more than a decade of planning and promise, even the least senti· mental member of the University community was not prepared fo< the move from the real <:ampus. Suddenly, people 18,Mo. 2 Raymond G. Hunt, professor, Scl]gol of Management; adjunct professor I psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences. " At that time (after the merger), the place was brimming with enthusiasm." said Hunt, who first came to UB as a student in 1949. "There was a great deal of optimism. I liked the quality Philip Miles, who came to U8 in 1956, called the merger .. a necessary evil" when asked for his comments in 1967, five scant years after the big change. Undergratluate students have suffered, he said then. And he called for "less talk about greatness" and more attention to settling down and doing the job we are capable of doing. He also pronounced himself "unimp<essed with the new faculty appointments in general. There are more of them, but I don l feel that the percentage of top notch scholars is any higher - we JUSt pay them more!" Today, Miles isnl sure he'd still call the change in status a necessary evil. " We had some great students as a private university," he says, "and we have some _great students now. Frankly, I donl think there's much difference in the caliber of students today as some people may think . Educationally, things are not that different than they were 25 years ago. " We acquired a Ia'¥" faculty after the merger, and the missiOn of that faculty was directed toward graduate studies. They were brought in primarily to set up graduate programs. They had little interest in undergraduate teaching. so we didn't have a proportionately increased interest in undergraduate students. " Undergraduate students are still suffering from this change but for a different reason. Teaching takes a lot of time and effort. - In matters of tenure and promotion, teaching is not a high priority. Even in making appointments, the question is whether the potential employee will be able to attract resean:h support, not whether be can provide good instruction in an area that needs it. [When we were a private university, if a person couldnl make a contribution to the undergraduate program, he wasnl hired.] "This is probably how it has to be in a research center. But it is correct that in most cases a graduate center has to ..... _25,.....,poge10 �Continued from Page 9 be based on a strong undergraduate program . There are relatively few strong graduate centers that do not have respectable undergraduate schools. "From the standpoint of new faculty members. the situation is better for their ad vancemenl than it was then (because they have more oppo rtuniJy to co nduct their own research ). " From the standpoint of facilities [but I don' think you can equate bricks and mortar with educational opportunities]. the campus now is certainly outstanding. On Main Street, we were in old structures and we were crowded; this was not conducive either to teaching or to research . The unfortunate aspects (of the move) were that we had to sacrifice a whole generation of students who were caught up in the transition. They had to spend so many hours of their time on buses back and forth betwec.n vario us campuses - and that 's an unfortunate aspect that continues. ..Things are better and a re improving for both the students and the facult y. S urely we ca n co me up with a proper recognition of ho w mu ch energy and resources sho uld go into t he various und ergradu a te a nd graduat e programs. W e have facilit ies to achieve excellence wh1ch wo uld not ha ve bee n av a ilab le to u s~ a private uni ve rsi ty;· Robert S. Flak, former professor and dean, School of Education (n ow the Faculty of Educational Studies), and first director of the Office of Equal Opportunity. Early on, Fisk endorsed the merger "as completely consistent with the wellbeing of the region and of higher education generally." Today, he feels much the same, addmg that "the lacge proportion of my knowledge of what's been happening with the University has been gamed through . what I read in the R•porter and in the public press and in the significant respect for the University which I have observed among colleagues and former colleagues both in this country and in a number of foreign countnes. "Otherwise, I believe my assessment of 1967 is one that I have no reason to alter. We seem to have gained some elements of autonomy in the budget' making process which is certainly to be ' desired and suggests that the various ; forces in Albany are increasingly aware of what it takes to maintain a great } University. , . "Probably the only reservation I have · relates to the University's apparent commitment to a major sports endeavor which I cannot help but feel wiD complicate some aspects of the academac proceu even though it may engender loyalties among .students and alumni and within the community. It does not seem to me as yet that the Univenity required that. "The Univcnity bas contiDued to enjoy strong leadership and the prospects for that in the future appear to be good . Whether we will be able to continue to renew our faculty is a challenge faced by all universities, but I see no greater problem here than is faced elsewhere. "I still feel that the U B tradition of academic freedom which goes back to tbe days of Capen and was strengthened by McConnell and Furnas seems basically to have endured . Npthing is more imponant to the integrity with which the University flij:ulty has proceeded than this phenomenon, often in the face of hostile elements witbiniiiPe community. There appears to be nothing to prevent its cOntinuation. "I personally have been proud to carry the aura of the University into a number o f domesti c and foreign settings and would expect a lways to feel that way." Lester Anderson came to UB in 1951. He held administrative positions and was a professor of higher education until 1969. "One day (Chancellor) Furn.S said to me, •Lester, how are we ever going to pay our bills and give the city the University it deserves?' And I said there's only one way - we must have tax money. "The merger seemed right to everybod y. It was so obvious, so clear, so right, that there was never any real opposition to the whole issue. There was a liule grumbling here and there, and there were issues to be decided . There were entanglements at times. But there was never any real thought in anyone's mind that it was a mistake. ... It was a time of tremendous ferment. Everybody was expec!ing great things - new schools, new staff. "The University before its merger could never have been the University that the city and Western New York needed. It was an action that was so right fo r the city, so right for the State, so right for the students who waot to auend a first-rate University. And it's my opinion that the merger has been a major success." ·· oespite annual disclaimers, our a ppro,priate primary mission as a graduate c::cnter, perhaps inevitably, overshadowed the importance of undergradUate instruction. "If ahything, the faculty has distanced itself even further from students over the past 20 years. They still seck to have as little personal contact with them OJ possible, anduding any form of undergraduate academic advisement: • As related research has revealed for some time, faculty must become more sinc::crely interested in students if we still hope to realize the total significance of the educational experience.

Feldman was also responsible for many of the University's ''J un e in · Buffalo" festivals that featured such stellar resident composers as Elliott Caner, lannis Xenak.is, Geo rge Crumb. and Feldman's longtime associate, John Cage. Feldman was famous for his breathlessly quiet and at times. nearly inaudible, creations.

That consistency giVes his lTJUSic its recogni7ability and at the sa me time its M spare, quiet objecl't9ity."

"But throu&b an international assistance group a student or individual can go to this family's village and teach them the necessary technology to grow their own corn. Then that person can go home knowing that the entire village will have food to eat for years to come. Obviously not everyone is able to make this k1nd of commitment and one of WHIG's stated desires is, according to Mierzwa, "to look at the problem globally and then work on it locally." World hunger UB group wants to combat starvation By SHAWN CAREY N oon is when America eafs T lunch . At noon on Aug. 5, however , a handful of individuals in the UB community gathered not for lunch, but to talk abo ut world hunger. In the future these indi vid uals plan to do more than just talk . The World Hunger Interest Group (WHIG) is offe ring itself as a so urce of reference and g uidance to any student or faculty gro up that would like to join in the effort to co mbat l:narvation. ·· we would like to ~'act as a pipeline fo r information to pass o n to the Uni versi ty community, .. sa id gro up convener Allan Canfield , a se ni o r academ ic advisor in U B's Office o f Academic Ad vising. ·· 1 feel that other than the threat of nuc lear war, .world hunger and pove rty po~e the greatest threa ts to human !.OC itt y . " But the most encouraging thiRg abo ut the problem of hunger is that there is a solution to it. Kne wing that we ca n stop starvation and suffering prov•dcs us with even more incentive to wan t to try." 1\ccordmg to Canfield , WHIG is also 1ry mg to come up with a list of courses taug ht here at UB that deal with the problems of world hunger and poverty. Making up the remainder of the WHIG steering committee are: Robert Henderso n, associate director of the S tud ent Activities Center; Barbara Mierzwa, assistant to the chairman of Bioc hemistry; Father John Zietler of U B's Catholic Campus Ministry, and Claude Welch, a professor of politlcal sctence at UB. C ontrary to popular opinion, the problem of world hunger was not solved by such major public events as .. Hands Across AmericaH and the record-setting sales of the "We Are the World" album. Spurred by the participation of numerous celebrities (from the rock music industry, Hollywood, and the national government), these two projects, and others like them, seemed to pierce the nation's collective conscience while garnering millions of dollars that, ostensibly, were to be used to aid the world's hungry. But if these projects proved anything, it was that it will take more than j ust gigantic monetary contributions to solve the problem. ''I don't think 'Hands Across America' even broke even," said Welch ... At any rate, even if $50 million dollars is raised, there are 190 million starving people in the African nations alone." Somple arithmetic indic'ates that $50 million translates into only about 26 cents per person. Hardly a long-term solution, it's more like giving a bandaid to a man who has been run over by a bus . More important, Welch said, is to forge a long-term strategy against hunger. This strategy should be based on increased knowledge and awareness of why there is a problem and should incorporate this knowledge into any proposed sol utions. ..The situation brin$s to mind something I once read," saod Henderson. "It went something like: 'Give a man a fish 2222 Public Safety'S Weekly Repoo The-,.-·_, ...,...,ed to • A 10-speed bqcle, nlucd at SISO, was lho~ol-_,_ July 25 .....

A big date for WHIG is Oct. 16, World Food Day. The group will be one of the local co-sponsors for the fourth annual World Food Day Teleconterence to be broadcast from Washington, D.C. The teleconfen:nce will include a panel discussion on " Poverty, Hunger and Interdependence," with the pa'ltelists fielding questions from sites all over the nation. Swift Auditorium of Buffalo General Hospital will be the ~i te in the Buffalo area. WHIG sees itself as one of many arms of a national and international movement to increase awareness and knowledge of the world hunger problem. "This 11roup must work to raise public consciOusness on the Univenity and local level," said Zeitler. According to him, the Campus Ministries can put individuals or groups in touch with Dave BakeF, who heads' a program \11hich works to mainstream Ethiopian ' refugees into the Buffalo cominunity. These refugees have come to America by way of Russia and then Germany. "I think this group's greatest value will be in providing real direction to those individuals who have an interest in the cause but don't know how or where to go to apply it," Zietler said. "We need to let them know that this locomotive is ready to move and that they can join the train." Those ho want to join can contact Canfield at IIO Norton Hall or call 636-2450. 0 Second Chinese M.B.A. class arrives for 14 weeks of study The School of Management also has dropped the thesis requirement for the Chinese students.

Accord ing to Lockwood librarian Manuel D . Lopez, req uirements for 'loan of the exhibit were stringe nt. Pieces were fastidiously packed in bubble packs a nd wooden crates before being shipped by the Galleries Association of New York. After the exhibit arrived at UB, Lopez and Gra,;e Kellmer, a graduate assistant in the Master of Arts in Humanities program studying art history and classics, s pent about six hours carefully unpack ing the pieces, wearing white cotton gloves , of course. The artifacts were stored in the Poet ry and Rare Books Collection vault until it was time to set up the exhibit. old artifacts - it is. a part '/ of life as it used to be , the tangible remains of o ur history. The exhibit, located in the foyer of Lockwood Libra ry, contains about two dozen pieces dating from as ea rly as 2000 B.C. Ow ned by the Depanment of Antiq uities and Museums in Jerusalem and on loan from the J ewish Muse um in New York City, the di spla y IS spo nso red locally by the Foundation of Jewis h Philanthropies (Buffalo), the Unive rsity Libraries. and the Dean of the Facu lt y of An s and Leners. Acco rdin g to Sam uel Paley, chai r of C las s ics a nd curator of " Among Ancient Empi res," the exhibit "fills _in th e in tricacies that the textual matenal does not tell you . These are the physical remains, not someone's written impressions. They ar the represe nt ation of a moment in istory. " P ieces 10 the ib it have come from digs un aken between 1980 and 1984 at Emeq Hefer, located in Israel's lower Alexander River Valle y, about 30 miles north of Te l Aviv. Paley se rves as the project directo r of th e Emeq Hefer Archaeological Research Project, which enco mpasses more than 50 different sites. He noted that .trtifacts o n ex hibit a re only a smattering of what has been found at the various Emeq Hefer si tes, and so me are fairly rare. Pieces represe nt culture ranging from the Middle Bronze IIA Period (2000-1750 BC) to the Graeco- Roman period (332BCAD 324). " It is difficult to get d own to (t he Middle Bronze IIA ) level ," P a le y noted. " We lucked out. " Age is not the onJy factor that makes so me of the pieces urwsual. Conn'ecti o ns, in a very literal sense, also are an important p~rt of the exhibit, Paley said . " One of the ideas is to show people what archaeologists do - they tak.e bits and pieces and put them back together," Paley said . Bits and pieces of jars and vases are joined with vatican stone , a very fine plaster used to put pottery back together. Likewise. bits and pieces of ancient culture can be pieced back together with modern techniques such as neu tron activat ion analysis, which allows archaeologists to pinpoint the origi n of clay used to form the pieces, he said. " We want to know what the connecti ons between ou r area of the world and other areas of the world were," Paley explained. He cited an Egyptian jar with false spouts, a type of jar that had not been found outside of Egypt before. The significance of finding one at Emeq Hefer is the co nnection the vessel may have had to trade or other facto rs that would have led to the mingling of ancient cultures. S etting up th is fleeting glance at who we were 4,000 years ago was a The exhibit came with its own " furniture," or display materials designed specifically for " Am o ng Ancient Empires" to show o ff each artifact to its best advantage. Before the exhibit was set up, each piece of furniture was minutely gone over, lint picked, and sprinkled with corn starch to enhance its whiteness. As each anifact was prepared to be placed in its display case, tt was carefully brushed . "We don ' want them clean, that's not the point," Paley ex plained . " We want the cases clean."' Cleanlin~ss was not the only cons1"deralion. Each piece was scrutinized as it was positioned . Angles were checked, and rechecked. Lighting was pondered . In all, Paley and Kellmer spent about eight hours on July 30 settmg up the artifacts in three single cases and one double case that were loaned to Lockwood Library by the Buffalo Museum . of Science. Paley will discuss "Among Ancient Empi res" in the Kiva as part of a reception to be held Sunday, Sept. 20. Among those being invited to the program are members of the Buffalo Biblical Scholars Symposium, the Biblical Archaeology Soctety, the American Archaeology Association , and the Foundation of Jewish Philanthropies.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Development of the institute is entirely consistent with our efforts to build on our existing strengths as a major public research university," he said. Michael J . Levine, D.D .S. Ph.D ., professor of oral biology and periodontics. is the principal investigator and director of the new research institute. William M. Feagans, D.D .S ., Ph.D., dean of the School of Dental Medicine, noted that the Department of Oral Biology's track record in re~ earch endeavors, particularly over the pasi decade, was instrumental in the selection of UB for the national institute. uThe research component i s an increasingly important one at ins~itu­ tions responsible for educating future dentists and dental scientists," he .emphasized, adding that dental schools that have a strong research component will be the sites of many of the innova- evi ne will d irect research which will conce ntrate on the protective role of molecules which compose saliva. Earlier studies here suggest th at saliva contains substances, which under normal conditions, successfull y modulate events which help to halt destructive action of bacteria in the oral cavity. Analysis of salivary molecules may allow for design and synthesis of molecular components which co uld be given patients to enhance their natural ability to fight bacteria that promote periodontal (gum) disease and dental caries (decay). These diseases are the most conimon infectious oral diseases in the ropulation and are the leading cause o tooth loss. The research may also lead to development of natural saliva substitutes for patients whose salivary now or quality IS reduced by medications. This problem is co nsiderably more common among the growing numbers of elderly, who use more medications to improve q uality of life. "Saliva not only protects the oral ti ssues , but also aids in breakdown of food during chewing. It probably also • plays a role in minimizing abrasion to tooth surfaces as well," Levine noted . In conjunction with W. H. Douglas, D. D.S ., professor of bio!llaterials at the University of Minnesota, who has developed the "artificial mouth ," a device which duplioates forces present in the oral cavity, UB scientists will test saliva's lubrication qualities. A portion of this research , which will utilize the Scrvohydraulic "mouth," will allow evaluation of saliva's role in reducing abrasion on materials, such as resins and amalgams, now used in dental restorations~ 1 Identification of salivary molecules which allow virulent strains of bacteria Micro_99!1isms, not 'toothworms' -are·ttie culprits in dental disease uring the Middle Ages, it was suggested and indeed generally accepted that tooth decay '<Uid other dent at destruct io n was ca used by a mysterious. elusive creatur.e called the .. toothworm. •• The advent of the microscope and expanding scientific knowledge over the years proved the .. toothworm .. to be non-existent.

The UB Department of Oral Biology was crea,ted 10 1962 wtth a solitary facility member and headed by Solon A. Ellison, D.D.S . . Since the Ph .D. in oral biology was first offored 10 1965, more than 20 persons hive graduated . Some have remained here to . C<?ntinue their ~ientific .research;_. othe rs have gone elsewhere to contribute to ex1sttng programs 10 oral btology or establish new ones. . Scientists working with UB's Department of Oral Biology have made many Significant co ntributions to research in the past decade. Among those have been identification of certain bacteria instrumental in both periodontal dise~ and de_ntal caries. Further research here has led to enhanced treatment of penodontal diSease wh ich affects some 75 per cent of tltc adult population. . Studies at U B that targeted specific bacteria that cause the under!ymg bone dest ruction leading to tooth loss also demonstrated that ·anti-bactenal. therapy notably oral tetracycline - is a useful adjunctive treatment to root plamog and scaling. The UB scientists also found that, contrary to popular belie~, periodon!al disease does not follow a steady, downhill course, but is charactenzed by penods of exacerbations or " flare-ups , •• during which active bone destruction occurs. An increasing emphas1s O!l immunology over the past decade has led the UB sc1ent1sts to add to the growing body of knowledge, showing that ydongsters w1th juvenile periodontitis and patients with diabetes exhibit neutrophils (a component of the body's defense) which are " lazy" and fail in their role as a protector against microorganisms in the oral cavity. · The quality of the research conducted by the UB Department of Oral Biology researchers and their colleagues in other dental and medical departments have led to a steadily increasing amount of funding during the past decade. In 1977, for example, the department garnered some $1.7 million in research funds - notably through the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR). ---Including partial funding which the new institute grant carries, beginning on September I, 1987, the year's total research funding in the department is $4 million. , In 1977, the scientists' efforts in the area of research led to UB being named one of the three National Periodontal Disease Clinical Research Centers funded by the NIDR . Two years ago, a Salivary Dysfunction Center was created at UB, supported in part' by industry. Robert J. Genco, D. D.S., Ph. D., director of the Periodontal Disease Clinical Research Center and an internationally-known dental researcher, noted that the interdisciplinary expertise of the faculty within the department and other departments in the school bas led lo.the locally expanded research efforts. "We are fortunate to have faculty such as Dr. Micb..,l Levine and others wh!' not only work well together, but are able: to design and impic:ment innovative research projects as a group," Genco said. Serving on the institute's Scientific Review Board are Levine, Genco, Rosemary Dziak, Ph.D.; Alexander Brownie, D.Sc., Ph.D., chair of UB's Department of Biochemistry; Mi~hael Apicella, · M.D., professor of microbiology; and Leon Farhi, M.D ., chair of the Department of Physiology.

"I have had numerous telephone ails from people advising me that they're waiting for pay day (to pur' chase their parking passes}," Ryszka 'said. "Seventy-five per ·cent of the people who have called have been very much in favor (of the paid parking lot), and have complimenred the system and said they wish it had been in effect long ago." At $100 per year, the paid parking fee is ~~ bargain to many who have opted fO purchase tbe pass, Ryszlca · noted. • As many students have remarked, they paid more than that in parlcing fines last year," he said. "Most of the students who have been purchasing the 11asses tbiolc it's an exc;eptionally good t.\ea .... As one j!UY said to me yesterday, •J have to be m class in five minutes and I don l have to sweat where I'm going to park my car.' " Ryszka added that be. expects all 250 passes to be sold by early next week. The new lot, with more than. 500 spaces, is reallr. two lots, dubbed P5E and F, said Chff Wilson, assistant vice president for human resources. (Wilson is involved with parking because t least parts of the parking plan must be negottated with the unions.) Faculty, staff, and students can buy a pass for the new lot for $100 a year. Only 250 passes will be sold . People can buy passes from the auendant at the lot or at the Helm Building from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. People can also park in the new lot for $3 a day. After 2 p.m., the charge is $1.50. There will be an at~ndant in the lot from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. There's no charge when the attendant isn't there, but overnight parking won't be allowed. ' The paid parking is just for the academic year, Wilson said. Since there isn \ a parking problem in tbe summer, all lots would be open then. T he .admin istration contends that it can charge to park in P5E and P5F because it's a new lot, but several unions disagree. That issue is also being decided through the grievance process. Another already enacted chang< in the parking situatton is that holders of "A Permits," which used to be free, must now pay $150 a year. These are held by deans, vice presidents, and the president. · The free reserved faculty I staff lots at Amherst, still considered an experiment The paid parking lot had few customers early Monday, but later busin_ess was reported . • picking up.

However. the administration's longterm plan could make things very different in the spring. But t\le plan m'ust be approved by the unions, and they've come out against it. The plan would be the same on both campuses: • To park in the most desirable spaces, drivers would have to buy a $100 per year permit or pay $3 a day. Facttlty, staff and students could buy permits. • To park in faculty / staff lots, drivers would have to pay $25 a year. These lots wouldn't be open to st_udents. • A $10 registration fee would be required for a)l drivers, except visitors. The permit would be registered to the (lriver, not to the car. If someone has two cars, the pinnit, which is suspended from the rear-view mirror, could be moved between the Volunteer faculty and staff would not be charged the regtstraton fee. cars.

The idea of the long-term plan is to take the approximately 500 paid parking spaces now available in Fronczalc and spread them around both campuses, Wilson explained. All but 175 of the paid spaces in the Fronczak lot wou~"traded" for currently free spot at b h Amherst and Main Street. The, parking and registration fees would be used for additional enforcement of the reserved lots, Wilson explained. More people would have to be hired to tickettbe lots.

"Very few people can go downtown and park for less than $5 a day," be noted. ...There's hardly a major university in the country that doesn l charge for parking," Wilson added. It's not new to SUNY, either; Albany and Stony Brook both charge. UB dnesnl have as much of a parking problem as it has a problem with convenient spaces, Wilson pointed out. There are enough spaces, there just aren' enough convenient spaces. Special parkill& for faculty and staff at Amherst was started a year and onehalf ago because people, especially faculty, complained that they couldnl get to 10 a.m. classes on time because parking was so tight, Wilson noted. I n addition to the proposed regulations for both campuses, here are the specific proposals for each campus: Amhe,.t • The faculty / staff lots, with the $25 annual fee, would be P5A, P6C, and P7A. • The preferred parking, with the $100 annual fee, would be for lots P4C, P7F, and 175 spaces of the new Fron· czak lot. • The north end of the Center for Tomorrow lot (PI 0) would be designated a visitors' lot.

No specific salary has been set, but the new chancellor would probably earn ·more than the governor's salary of $130,000. Also under the plan, UB President Steven Sample· would earn $115,000, up from the current $89,145. President Sample said he is pleased that the Legislature and governor adopted this new legislation to fix .the saJarics of top administrators. "Obviously, I have a self-interest in the matter stnce it allowed them to fix my salary," be said. "But far more important is !be question of the chancellor's ·salary." It was a good idea to put the search forll chancellor on bold, the president said. If it had proceeded, the trustees might have been very disappointed in the caodidates. It was also a good idea not to ftx a chancellor's salary while the search is on, he added. That way, there arc no hidden constraints. If they ftnd someone !bey really want, they can deal with him 'or her. they had announoed a new salary level in advance, it would have narrowed the range of candidates they could negotiate with," Sample said.

On Aug. 18 the tnsstees accepted the plan to set the chana>llor's salary at a level sufficient "to attract the most eminent and highly qualified individual and to reflect the unique duties of the office." The SUNY chancellor's salary, currently set at $93,713, is half that paid to the ~;>resident of the University of Califorrua, according to the repon of the trustees' committee on the issue, chaired by D . Clinton Dominick. "In fact, a l'ecent national survey of 30 public universities Qlowed that the salary of the SONY Chancellor ralllr.ed 24th," the repon stated . "Yet with 64 campuses, 370,000 students and a $2 billion annual bullget, the SUNY job is by any measure the biggest and most demanding in the country." As a result of the severe disparity between the existinf salary and those offered by other institutions that SUNY ..-u must compete with, the trustees · concluded it would be impossible to bring the search for a new chancellor to · a . ~satisfactory conclusion" until a more competitive salary could be set, the repon explained . he plan also rea>mmeads raises for 32 other positions, including thepresidents of the university centers. The changes are: • The executive vi!;e chancellor's salary will be SI~OM , up from $89,964. Thil"is the permanent post of Jerome Komisar, who is currently acting chancellor. • The posts of senior vice chancellor, held by Harry Spindler, and provost, held by Joseph Burlr.e, will be raised to $115,000, from $89,1,45.' • Presidents of the university centers will malr.e $115,000, up from $89,145. The heads of the university centers currently malr.e about three-founhs as much as theiu counterparts at peer T institutions, according to the trustees' repon. • Presidents of the health ~ience centers will malr.e $135,000, up from the current salary of $106,685. • Presidents of the arts and sciences colleges, including the College of Technology at Utica / Rome, will ma ke $90,000, up from the current average of $83,913 .• • Presidents of the agriculture and ' technology colleges will malr.e 180,000, up from the cur.r ent average of $76,5 12. • Presidents of the specialized col· leges will malr.e $90,000, up from the ~urrent average of $80,882. D onald M. Blinlr.en, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said the cost of the salary adjustments (not including the chancellor's increase) will be $380,296 and won't entail any addi· tiona! budget appropriations. The money will come from funds set aside for administrative salary increases over the last three years. . The plan will correct a "serious administrative salary disparity" that·has existed over the lut decade and which was noted in the ddiberations of the Independent Commission on the Future of SUNY, Blilllr.en said. He pointed out thai the action was made possible by legislation enacted this year that delqates salary-sening authority to the trustees. 0 Summer at UB was anything. but slow t was hot and hazy for months i,._ Buffalo, but the lazy days of summer never reached UB.

The pesky Donaldson, Ronald Reagan 's primary press nemesis and author of the controversial, Hold On, Mr. Prtsident, has rubbed elbows with the nat ion's leaders since ABC sent him to the White House in Janua~ 1977. He has covered the daily activities of both Jim_my <;arter and .Reagan, amply prepanng htm to elaborate on the lecture series' theme for this year, "'Power and the Presidency." · · The 1987-88 series will also include former T exas Senator John Tower who led the 1986 high level study of th~ activities of the National Security Council, scheduled for Nov. 19, and the natiol\'S first female candidate for the vice presidency, Geraldine Ferraro, who has been booked for April 12. Tickell' for each lecture in the series will be on sale for general admission; $6 for l!B facJilty, staff, alumni and senior cttw:n!; and $3 for students. Tickeu are available at Capen Ticket Counter and Slee Hall. According to-"ts. Judy Zuckerman director of the University's newly f?rrned Office of Conferences and Spectal Events, the annual lecture series will be a ma~ thrust of her office's - activities. Zuckerman plans to• promote this year's theme with deans. and departments whom she hopes to encourage 'to sponsor seminan, workshops and other speal<en on the topic: of presidential power. That focus, she feels, is especially timely in light 11f DCJ<t year's !'residential elections IIDd the long pnmary season that will precede them. Zuckerman is also at work already on her second· series - for 1988-89. The theme for the second year will be "The State of the Nation: Business, Government, and the Media." Likely speakers include former President Carter, author Tom Peters of In Search of Excel/encr, and CBS newsperson ' Leslie Stahl. attending the Third Conference of the International Federation of Latin Am<;rican and Caribbean Studies. In March, approximately ·500 persons are expected to attend a conference on the Social and Political Consequences of Stereotyping, l>eing sponspred by the Office of the bean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Other events already booked for campus include a symposium on the prevention of nuclear war being set up. for March by the UB Graduate Group on the Prevention of Nuclear War; tbe June 1988 National Conference of the Association of Com- · putational Linguistics (a 500-<lelegate event that has been held in other years at such locations as Berkeley and Stanford), and a meeting of the International Humanist Society and Ethical Union, a live-day conference expected to draw between 700 and 1,000 persons in August of 1988. In addition, the conferences office is working with the host UB Psychology Department on arI'IIIIIICIIICillS for a National Conference on Designing Integrated Mental Health Service Systems, slated for June 2~. 1988, at the Hyatt hotel downtown. Zuckerman's conferenc:-related activities are two pronged, she notes: I. to attract non-UB related events to campus, and 2. to work with campus units to set up arrangements for events they would like to stage on campus or in the community. ·ss I n addition to the lecture series, Ms. Zuckerman's office is charged with working with both campus and community constituencies to bring presti- n the sports world, University Itheplanners have their eyes on briniing 1999 Pan Am Games io Buffalo.

A longer range goal relates to establishing the University as the amateur sports capital of the east. More than 30 conferences have already been lined up and bids .are out for several more, Zuckerman notes.

'A major swimming meet may be in the offing as early next · spring, for example, if all negotiations go well. Zuckerman provides this capsule description of the rationale underlying all 'the diverse actiVities that her office oversees: .. making the University visible as a site for major public events... · Sam Donaldson is just the begin0 ning. as FES plans four-part 'Educationa_ l Forum' series he Faculty of Educational Studies will sponsor "The Educational Forum," a four-part Thursday_lecture series during 1987-88.

Our Porter fo\ir-seater float plane was loaded down with four passengers and a pilot, six oversized packs, two equipment boxes, fishing gear, camera equipment, personal packs, and two canoes tied to the pontoons. From sitting in the water to being airborne, it took less than seven seconds; a miracle! I We were ·the lint baff of our group of eight to fly in to Horton Lake, 1,100 miles northeast of Edmonton, 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle and some 300 miles south of the Arctic Ocean - territory very rarely visited by humans. Our pilot dido' consult the compass. Our proximity to the magnetic North Pole cawed severe compass aberrations. Forty-five degrees was too. much bother. Besides, be could determine where we were by looking out of the window and cbeckina the map on his lap. A forest fore re(jUired some inspection and reportaJO, if not action, so we flew a bit out of our way to see how it was doina. We notioed some ice still floating on Great Bear Lake. Our canoe trip to the polar sea was to start at Horton ·Lake, 370 river-miles and 200 air-miles away from the ocean. The second aroup of four landed the next day. My aroup bad Blready settt6r into a campina routine; we set up- the tents, caught several lake trout, and were attem{'ting to ~;~~ate our peace with the millions of bugs of various species which swarmed everywhere. We field-tested our repellent-impregnated bug jackets. They actually worked; a second miracle! A large White wolf crossed the river and sat down on the other side, watching us. We wondered what conclusions he drew. t took two days to get organized and ·acclimated. , With 24 hours of daylight, we learned to pay attention to our watches so we would get adequate sleep. We had to patch the holes in our second-band canoes. Paddling and tent partners bad to be determined and equipment cbeQ;ed. We held seminars on "birds to look for" and "where these rocks come from." We wanted most to find the nearly- Fxtinct (if not already extinct) eskimo burlew, and everybody memorized the desc;ription and studied · the pictures. It was obvious from tbe beginning that Bill· Hoyt, tbe el<pedition"' oraanizer, had thouJbt of just about everything. He was the most veteran o! the arour, of eisbt , havin& previously padd ed over 2,000 miles in the arctic I watershed. Filling-Out the aroup were Bill Fleming, a Buffalo physician and UB Medical School clinical faculty member; Peter Raymont, a Toronto filmmaker; Jim Magavem, a Buffalo attorney and UB Law. School lecturer; Steve Lundsford, a Vancouver (B.C.) rare book dealer; Eri~ Pogaenpbol, phetographer, and Roger Vaughan, writer. Poggenphol and Vaughan were on assignment from the Wultl11g1on Posl to cover the. trip for the paper's Sunday magazine. Our T -shirts read EBSOA for "Erie Basin Sons of Ahab." The first stretch of river was not actually the Horton, but an unnamed connecting_ stream between the lake .00 the river. ~We promptly named it the EBSOA River. (Hoyt is in the process of seeking official recognition.) This was our fint encounter with what became 200 miles of shallow water and its inevitable resultin& condition - wet feet. The major task was to find water deep enough to float a loaded canoe. Failure was punished by havina to step into 40-dearee water to pull the canoes over aravel beds. . Then there were times when we had a tail wind, and we could tie the four canoes together and "sail" with the aid of a cutdown spinnaker. We were much favored by warm breezes out of tbe south. Our bird list grew rapidly. UB aeo-. grapber and expert birder David Mark had ~old me to expect tona-tailed jqen, meraansen,: blact ducks, scooters, yellow-leg sand j hawks, gyrfalcon peregrines.

This prompted Vaughan, the writer, to say, "I had expected to cover a canoe trip, but this is mucb more like a board meeting at the Ford Foundation.

As we moved down the river, .we ran into several exampl~ of geology in · process. Lorraine Oak, another U B geographer, had told me .about thermokarsts, huae cuts into the bank of the river produced by warm river water melting away the permafrost. In one huae thermokarst the process of erosion was so rapid that loud noises were continually bemg produced by chunks of mud dropping on other mud or in the river. We were dwarfed by the enormity of the undercut bank. For a time. the river seemed less interesting thart before. We sang songs, like this one, written by a friend : Never eat/eft-over lizard, • For it does not keep well at all. It'll rot in a matter of hOUrs, And lead to your aecline and /pll. Now rattlesnake lasJs quite~ / ' time I ' And even roadrunner's o.k., But never eat leftover lizard, You 'll be signing your future away. We soon came to Coal Creek where is was said the cabin of Vilbjalmur Stefansson, great arctic anthropoloaill and explorer, stood. Hoyt had lcanii:d that Stefansson was the first non-native to explore the Horton in 1910-12 and that he had wintered on Coal Creek. It took only a little searching and there it was, the double-walled cabin's foundation, with a solitary living space of only S"by II feet . We mtend to submit a report to Dartmouth Colleae where Stefansson's works liave)>een archived. We left our names and lbe date in a film can tied to the nearest tree. Who knows how many years it will be before anyone comes this way again? We held a brief "funeral" for my guitar. It had fallen victim to too many dunkings, leaks, and rainings-upon. It had collapsed and was deemed trreparable. It became part of the campfire one night, so we said a few words and sang songs for it (and tipped a few). .As we moved north on the H•rton, canoeing became tougher and the days became lonaer. But with only four paddlers, we became more efficient. Our averaae mileage moved from 20 to 26 miles per day. In the end, we fell short of Franklin Bay by a few miles, but did manage to paddle more than miles on one of Canada's areal Arctic rivers. I am often asked why I did it. "Why . would anyone actually pay to be cold · and wet for so long a time?" is amona the more polite forms of the question. Having done some climbina, I think I undemand the answer that 11101111tain climben give, • 'because it-. there·." Would I do it opin?

THE MEO.ICA.L EDITOR AS G.UINEA PIG I By BRUCE S. KERSHNER s the University's medical editor, I spend most of .my time as t~e outSider looking i_n at others' researrh expen ~ ments. But in one case, the situation was reverse~: I· was the insider looking out during one recent experiment when I served as a volunteer subject. The experiment for which I volunteered was the double blind testing of a ragweed nasal extract spray conducted by UB allergist Robert Reisman, clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics, based at Buffalo General Hospital. (See accompany~ article detailing his A ~ research. ) - 1 promptly responded to his public request for volunteers, curious to find out if he WjlS really onto something that could relieve the lifetime of sneezing and mucosal misery I had endured . h was also satisfying to know 1 could contribute in a small ay to medical science. My other strong tivaton was th e curiosity of seeing an from a subject 's view, albeit on would ultimately be relegated to anonymous statistic in a technical journal article. By the end of the first day, my arms .looked like they had been worked over by an inexperienced tattoo anist or an over-zealous 1960s body painter. Both my arms were injected up and down in neat little rows with varioUs allergy extracts, close to three dozen in aU. Each injection ·created its own "body art ,.,. a series of pink wheals with unique shapes and sizes, but all sharing was given a small squeeze ~e and told to spray it in my nose twice a day, starting at tw.o sprays per nostril and increasing gradually to five sprays each. Detailed records of effects had to be written Oil multiple forms. Every two weeks, I was given a brief physical and a new bottle containing a progressively stronger solution. Keeping in line with experimental protocol, neiltter I nor the reSearch fellow knew if I had the control substance or the real polymerized ragweed pollen extract. The twice daily sprays throughout the spring and early summer months resulted in a number of sneezes and blows that always ended ten or I 5 minutes later. The reaction from the earlier sprays was mild but the concentrated sol utions taken only weeks before the ragweed allergy season began felt no different than snorting a pollen-laden ragweed flower. After 20 sneezes in rapid succession, I was repeating :to myself, "Remember, you're doing it for scterice, you're doing it for all those.!eiJow allergy sufferers out there." Fortunately , even these intense react ie ns ended within the first ten minut~ . The experimental spraying coded ten days before the ragweed allergy season was to commence. I waited in suspense for the ftrst day to arrive. On August 12, I experienced my first very mild reaction, a slight watery discharge, and recorded lt on the detailed survey form I had to maintain. Ten days elapsed and I still had only mild, very tolerable reactions, an occasional sneez~ a blow here and there. "•Must be a really mild year:" I thought, "or maybe the expertment is working?" By the time September arrived, I was certain f·bad been given the experimental extract and that it had indeed immunized nie to most of the ragweed reaction. September passed, followed by the ftrst frost of the season, effectively ending my 23rd active ragweed season. Two weeks later, my conclusion · was confirmed when the medical secretary informed me I · bad indeed been given the active ingredient. The nearly symptom-free season made my effort worthwhile. Hopefully, D r. Reisman's ragweed allergy treatment will be marketable in a few years. Now I only have to worry about my grass allergy, my mold allergy, and my tree pollen allergy. 0 the same intense itch . ..Looks like you•re going to be a perfect subject, .. the assisting researcher remarked. With a black marker pen, he highlighted the "art work" by outlining each bulging wheal with an inner and an outer circle. Then he labeled each one with a number and a -letter. By the time he was finished, my arms displayed a curious sequence of black-<Odged, pinkcentej ed concentric circles in rows extendin!! from my wrist to my elbow. . The chmax of the experiment's first day was the nasal mucus sample procedure. ••Just spray this in your nose so we can be sure to get enough mucus for the lab testing," I was t!)ltl. Eager .to donate my best mucus sample, I compressed the spray bottle into my nostrils as vigorously as I could . What followed was an eruption or mucus so great that it instantaneously fllled up my sinus and nasal passages and could hardly be contained in the dozen tissues I grabbed, o ne after another. "You only needed to spray a little bit," the assistant told me. "That was quite a squirt of histamine yo u J!aVe yourself." "Oh, is that what Was m the bottle," I deadpanned. "Well, it certainly looks like you got enough of my sample." While my bead reeled, I reminded myself that this brief "initiation, rite" into the -realm of the research experi- Hal( of nurses surveyed··are afraid of AIDS patients By MILT CARLIN ospital nurses appear to be equally divided on the question of w.hethe'r ihey are afraid of contracting AIDS in their work environment. A study conducted by two UB Nursing School faculty members shows that 50 per cent of the nurses questioned admitted they were fearful of becoming contaminated. The research study, which involved sendirig questionnaires to 1,100 nurses in Erie County, was conducted by Brenda P. Haughey, Ph.D., and Yvonne K. Scherer, Ed .D. Haughey and Scherer also asked questions relating to nurses' attitudes toward caring for b"omosexuals and the terminally ill. A total of 581 nurses responded to the random sampling, the researchers reported. The 1, 100 who received questionnaires .npr.:sent 10 per cent of the 11,000 nurses in Erie County. The questionnaire, in one section, contained 29 questions pertaining to nurses' knowledge about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, more . familiarly known as AJDS. The answers, the two researchers ·related, sbow that nurses, in general, lack sufficient knowledge regarding the H medical aspects of AIDS and related matters, particularly the possible risks involved in providmg nursing care to AIDS victims. Both Haughey and Scherer suggest that the lack of knowledge may be a key factor in the high rate of fear. This information gap is further seen by both as a signal to nursing educators to develop programs of instruction, based on existing knowledge. Regarding nurses" attitudes toward homosexuals , who have b.,n pinpointed as carriers of the AIDS v1rus, the survey - surprisingly in view of the expressed fears of contagion - showed that more . than 59 per cent of the respondents could accept homosexuality as a lifestyle that exists. About 23 per cent were undecided about that. Likewise, even though AIDS sufferers are counted among the terminally ill, there was hardly any attitudinal reluctance shown by the nurses in cari~g for terminally ill patients.uo., , hould health care agencies have the right to refuse care to inwviduals suffering from AIDS? "No," replied a total of 17 per cent of the respondents. Of the remainder, only 9 per cent agreed that health care agenciea should have the riaht to refuse care, while 14 per cent were undecided. Then came this one-s>o-ooe statement S '~ total of 47 per cent of respondents feel they personally have the right to refuse ·care ' to an individual with AIDS." . for individual nurses: "I feel that I have the right to refuse care to an individual with AJDS." A total of 47 per cent agreed with that statement. Thus, more than three-fourths of the respondents would deny health agencies the right tolrefuse care, but almost half said that, individually, they felt they had the right ID do so. At the same time, 61 per cent of the nu~ ·agreed that nurses should be asstgned to AIDS cases on a voluntary basis. . The research by HauJhey and Scherer was supported ftnaocially by the State University of New York (SUNY) Research Development Fund. Realizing there's another side to the coin, the two researchers hope to conduct further studies to determine attitudes of AIDS patients and others closely linked to these patients regarding the quality of nu~ng care in AIDS cases. F.ew empirical studies on this subject have been done, the pair point · out. Only s~ulative newspaper and magazine articles have been attempted. In pursuit of this challenge, Haughey and Scherer have applied for a study grant from the Nattonal Center for Nursing Research, a branch of the National Institutes of Health: ; In addition to using the survey results in developing nurse education programs at UB, the researchers plan to tell nurses from throughout the world about tbeir findings . Both will attend the 2nd International Primary Hetllth Care Conference ' September 21-23 in Loodon, where Scherer will deliver a paper based on their study on nurses' attitudes on AIDS. Haushey received a Ph.D. from UB in 1912 with a major in soc:io)ogy. Scherer received a UB Doctor of Ed~tio.n degree this year, with a maJor 1n health and behavioral science. . 0 �Selltember 3, 1117 Volume 18, No. 1 ometimes it is the little things in life that bother you. It's also the little things that can push a P.erson over the edge, cause major problems, and generally make life unbearable. S An example of one of those big little th ings comes from a wild plant known as the ragweed. When it releases its pollen in mid·August, it affects miUion of people with a reaction called ragweed allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hayfever. Hayfever victims usually suffer from the middle of August until the first frost. The symptoms are familiar: runny nose, congestion, watery eyes; they're shown during every TV commercial for antihistamines. Robert Reisman, M.D., UB clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics, and co-director of the Allergy Researc!i Laboratory of Buffalo General Hospital, has been researching altemauve treatments for the estimated 18 million hayfever victims in the U.S. Besides hoping for a frost by Labor Day, one obvious ti'eatment is avoid- "Hayfever victims usually suffer from the middle of August t.J.ntil the first frost.

Another possibility is use of steroids either as a nasal inhaler, in tablet form, or by injection. While these methods usually work well over the short term, they relieve only symrtoms; they do not attack the cause o hayfever. lmmunizatiOJ\, through the injection of pollen extract, is considered the most effective method of combatting hayfever. It tackles the causes, aod works like a vaccine. The basic concept of immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis has not changed ip any substantial way since it was first introdueed in 1911. But Reisman is trying to bring immunotherapy into the secoqd half of the 20th century. · During the last eight years, Reisman's research has concentrated on the secretory immune system. The (He is now the director of Roswell Park.) This system is usually associated with the production in the nasal pas-· sages of antibodi.es that fight viral infection• such as polio and the Tomasi when he was a UB researcher. influenzas. Reisman's st udies revolve around the use or a nasal inhalant to vaccinate the body against the eff~ of the ragweed pollen. Reisman aod his co-investigators are-the only ones in the country cum:ntly using a nasal inhalant to deliver immunizioa doses of ragweed extract. They are also the first to use polymerized extract in this manner. t the 1986 March meeting of the American Academy of Allergy and A Immunology, Reisman outlined the latest results of his re5earch. For. several years, he has extensively tested local intranasal immunotherapy for use against ragweed allergic rhinitis. "The nasal spray is analogous to giving shots, except we're squirting it into the nose, .. Reisman said. Research was done using the double blind control method. The control group was given a placebo, while the test ~roup was giyen a ragweed extract. In dtfferent tests, Reisman altered the dosing . schedules and the extract sOlutions. From the resull$, Reisman.concluiled 1h41 "the best response came from' large doSes of pollen· solution. And the best solution ·•Was a polymerized extract, in contrast to an aqueous extract. We found that the aqueous extract caused significant side effects in some patients." The advantage of the polymerized extract is that it slowly releases the r.agwecd solution into the system, as · opposed 10 a water solution which releases the extract much too quicltly. This quick release can actually cause stimulation with the response of the people who get the treatment. In other words, some people have a low anti- ' body response and they still get better. and. there are others with a high antibody response who donl get better." The possibility of a greater public availability of the intranasal spray as immunotherapy against hayfever is excitirig. The spray is inexpensive, simple, and it causes no significant side effects. According to Reisman, "it definitely should be considered for more widespread use because of those advantages." Reisman also _commented that he "has no idea when the nasal spray will be available for the general public. It depends when a company would do the marketing studies." In this instance, the company would be Key Pbarmaeeutical, which has bel~ support Reisman's nasal spray studies aod holds the patent on the polymerized extract. The implicatioM ()(~ <Basal spray are staggering. Chronic bayfever sufferers who opt for parenteral immunotherapy typtcally receive injections once a week for three, four, or five months. Injections then continue once a month for an indelinito period. If Reisman's nasal mist is manufactured for consumer use, it will greatly ~mplify bayfever treatment. 0 �==:-3,1117 11, No.1 v. Good. and bad-news More register early, but lines still long By SHAWN CAREY ccording to UB Registrar Sue Eck, there was some gootl news and some bad news about UB's drop / add registration lines this year.

What went wrong'? ·•This year we were using a brand new regtstration program with our computers, and we found this program to be noticeably slower at the drop/ add registration process than the computer program we had used in previous years," Eck said. But, Eck said the registration office had anticipated long lines early in the process even before the problem with the new program presented itself. "Any time students are offered a chance to pick up classes before the majority of students ~ave returned ~nd before the semester actually begmj. there are going to be long lines.

D �welcome the opportunity in · this special Reporter supplement to herald the beginning of a new academic year. As in other years, University Computing Services has attempted to be well prepared to accommodate the service .requirements expected by the University's computing community. During the past year 'J{e have carefully tracked the changing load, which is growing along many existing, and some new directions. We have formulated plans that will deal with anticipated growth as effectively as possible. UCS stands ready to open its cafeteria of computer services with a rich menu of choices. In entering this new year UCS is stronger and better prepared than ever before. For the first time in years, we have added some professional staff to boost our ranks. More staff are required, to be sure, to support our growing user community. • The University now has full access to NYSERNet, which enables 56Kbps da,ta communications access to all national supercomputer facilities . In addition, academic computing service is beginning to develop on SUNY's internal data network. I We are adding a .powerful new VAX 8700 into the VAXcluster. This will, we hope, be upgraded to a VAX 8800 next year, thereby doubling the compute power of the VAXcluster. Data communications are continually being enhanced. There is more DCA acces~ available, and at much higher speeds than ever before. Our ETHERNet backbone is growing; we have a commitment to extend ETHERNet access to any department or research group that has justified need. · The IBM mainframe has received a new release of the operating system which has greaily improved the ~stability of our environment. Two modern laser printers are in active production; a Xerox 8700 for high volume general printing, and a DEC P?ntServer 40 for specialized printing. The University is presently benefitting from an exciting new capability: networked workstations. Last year we bought three clusters of ·six stations each, located in Engineering, Architecture and the Compuling Gen. ter. Providing "high resolution graphics, and substantial computing power, these workstations serve as excellent platforms for graphics intensive computing, such as computer aided llesign. I can report on many other important and interesting developments: desktop publishing, expert systems software, and DECNet service for oncampus users with access to off-campus sites. All · of these developments are being carried out to substantially advance the technology state and the quality and quanlity of computing for UB. The advances in computing service ·are made available through the tireless and enthusiastic efforts of the Computing Center's highly competent professional staff. As a group we continue to pledge our interest and support to provide excellent computing service to the campus computing community. We are interested in hearing from students, faculty, and staff on how we can improve or expand our services, and, in particular, on how ~e can assist individuals with specific needs. - HIIIRICH MARTENS "superminicomputers," since their size, power, and performance place them between minicomputers and mainframes. In addition we have a Sperry 7000/40 minicomputer av;~ ilable to academic users: a Sperry 1191 /SV mainframe available only to administrative users: a Floating Point Systems • (FPS) 164/MAX array processor for scientific computations (vector and matrix operations): and 6 Sun workstations, high -performance bit-mapped microcomputer systems oriented toward applications in CAD (ComputerAided Design), CAM (~puter•Aided Manufacturing), graphics. engineering, and software development. Finally, we have a variety of microcomputers: IBM PCs , AT&T microcomputers, DEC Rainbows, and Apple microcomputers (Apple lie's, and Macintoshes). We can compare hardware in several different ways. CPU speed is a convenient reference point, since the time a single step or instruction of a program takes provides a reasonable basis of comparison for two computers that · will run the · same kind of programs.

We will look first at the systems soflware. • SYSTEMS SOFTWARE AcaComputer Systems consist of . hardware and software. Hardware refers .to the physical components such as the central processing unit (CPU), storage devices known as main memory and secondary memory, and devices used for communication with the computer. The speed of the CPU, the . size or amount of main memory, the number and speed of disk drives and connect-. ing ports or terminals, all set an upper limit on the kind of performance theoretically possible from the system. The software determines how the system looks and performs in day-to-day practice from the user's perspective. PHOTOS: Douglas Levere HARDWARE Our largest and fa~test computer is an IBM 308t -GX mainframe. We also ha~e several DEC VAX computers (VAX 11 /875s, VAX 8650s and a VAX 870Q), ·often referred to as demic Computing provides a variety of operating systems in order to offer a wide range of computing environ· ments. These include VM/CMS Release 4.2 for the IBM 3081 , both VMS 4.5 and 4.3BSD UNIX on the VAX computers, and 4.3BSD UNIX on the Sperry 7000/40. The microcomputers supported by ACS also provide experience with many systems including CP/M, MS/DOS, Apple DOS, the Macintosh Operating System, and the P-system. • APPLICATIONS 'SOFTWARE: LANGUAGE PROCESSORS Although there are a variety of operating systems that create different computing environments, the language processors are similar across the machines. Pascal and FORTRAN-77 are available on all configurations. Additionally, the VM I CMS system provides Assembler, BASIC, COBOL, LISP, and PL/t; VMS . �provides C, LISP, MACA0-11, and MODULA-2; and UN)X provides APL. C, FORTH, USP, and MODULA-2. A complete list of microcomputer languages is available from the Microcomputer Support staft. Pascal and FORTRAN-77, as well as BASIC, are available for all micros. • APPLfCATIONS SOFTWARE: SOFTWARE PACKAGES Library software is an important part of any . computing system. · Software of general interest to the entire user community is purchased and maintained on the appropriate system by Academic Computing. Special interest packages may be purchased and maintained by individual departments. Examples of ACS supported software are: you may depend on many factors. ' including where particular software packages are located, CPU speed, amount of memory, system loads, and job turnaround time. Faculty, researchers, and staft new to our computing environment may want to ask staft consultants and other faculty and staft members for advice in determining which system is best for their needs. Individual irtstructors usually determine the computing environment for classes. ACCESSING THE LARGE COMPUTER SYSTEr'v1S •WHICH SYSTEM ·1s THE BEST? Which system is the bast for Having determined what kind of systems are available, how can you get access to a particular system? All registered students, faculty, and staft can obtain a username (account) on the VAXcluster, where an on-line username assignment program creates usernames based on social security number (SSN) or student number for those students without aSSN. To facilitate the creation of usernames at the start of each semester (when demand is tt'ie heaviest), we set aside one terminpl at each of our · computing sites solely for this purpose. It is usually located close to the consultant's office; look for the sig'ls rnatked VAX/VMS l.JSERNAMES. The username program is interactive and easy to run: you will be asked for your social security number (or student number), your name , and a password for your account. The computer will then display your username (based on your SSN or student number) and indicate when your account will become active (usually the next day). II you find that you need a VAX/VMS account later in the semester, when there is no longer a terminal dedicated to running the username · program at the sites, just ask the consultant Jar instructions to access the username program. Once you obtain a VAX/VMS account, it will . remain active as long as you are reg istered or employed at SUNY /Buftalo. Application forms for UNIX accounts are also available from the User Liaison office. WHAT ABOUT USAGE AND BILLING? Unless you are a faculty member with a billable account set up for a grant, you will not receive a bill for computer usage. Hqwever, all usage is accounted for and monitored. Computer abuse or misuse os not tolerated. II an account has an extraordinary amount of usage, or if we become aware of abuse or misuse, the computer account will be "locked" and the owner will be required to explain or justify his/her actions. This could result in the loss of computing II you decide to use the IBM main- • privileges.

Student accounts on the IBM are deleted at the end of each semester. ' Faculty, staft, and graduate students may obtain IBM account application forms from the User Liaison Office, 2t5 Computing Center. Faculty/staft accounts require the department chairperson's signature; graduate students' accounts require the signature of their departm~IBI advisor. These accounts remain valid unless they show no activity for a six -month period. At that time they will be deleted from the S\(.Siem. ACCOUNT SECURITY AND PASSWORDS Every computer account has its .own password wh.ich is determined by the "owner" of that account This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized persons from togging on with your user-name and gaining access to your files. Obviously, if tt)is security system is to be eftective, you must protect the secrecy of your password. �You should change it occasionally (VAX passwords expire every 90 days), and avoid writing it down or telling it to anyone else. You should also choose a password which is not easy lor someone else to guess: don't use your name Or initials! II you forget what yoor password Is or if it expires, you will have to come to Room 215 in the Computing Center to fill out a Password Change form. Only the "owner" of an account can request a password change, and proper identification must be provid ed wh en requesting the change. Under no circumstances can we look up a previous password, or change a password via a phone call. You may not request a change for a fr iend. Th ese policies have bee n eslflblished for your own protection. LOGGING ON Once your account has been established, you are ready to log on. Information about how to log on to our systems is provided in the introductory guides to the IBM / CMS, VAX/ VMS, and UN IX systems. Stop by one of the public computing sites, and pick up a guide for the appropriate system. Sellpaced. computer-based courses on IBM / CMS, VAX/VMS, and UNIX computing concepts are available. Guides to accessing these courses are also available in the information racks at · the public computing sites. ing system (DCA' which allows many terminals and microcomputers on our campuses to access virtually all of the University's computing resources. Users can access not only the Universily's local computers, but also computers and networks that span the world. With appropriate knowledge and permissions, a user on the DCA network in Buffalo could communicate with a VAX at SUNY Binghamton, the supercomputer at Cornell, and also send some electronic mail or a small file to a colleague at a university in England.

Its speed of communication approaches that of telephone communication. However, in contrast to the telephone, the sender and recipient need not be ' available at the same time. There are no busy signals or unanswered calls; a message waits in the recipient's mailbox. E-mail's utility goes beyond the "mere transmission of messages. Below are some of the benefits that can be realized through the use of e-mail. • Reduces the cost of communic;t· lion. The· cost of sending an average business letter via electronic mail is much less than the cost of sending the same business letter through the post office. • Centralizes and unifies operations. Individuals or offices that are widel)i separaied become less remote and' more accessible to each other. • Increases communications between all levels of a department or office. Information is more easily distrib· uted and feedback more quickly returned. The decision-making process is sped up and teS(Tiwork is en hanced. • • Provides a permanent record of communication between the sender and the recipient. • Allows quick and easy· involvement with a project or problem from many groups or individuals. Results are easily shared. • Eases collaboration on multipleauthor documents. One author may write a draft and send rt to a second author lor additions and revisions. The second author revises the draft and sends it back to the first author. This process continws tPit the document is compfel· ed. • Makes messages accessible anywhere a terminal is located. This may be on campus or through dialups at home or on the road. E-mail is changing the way organizations communicate internally and with other organizations. User Services hopes that users at SUNY /Buffalo will enjoy similar benefits from the use of e-mail. We offer credit-free short courses on using e-mail on our mainframe and minicomputers, and provide introductory guides to the use of email on these systems. We'll be happy to introduce you to e-mail.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The idea is to c harge so me sort of an annual fee fo r fac ulty, staff, and slu dents who wish to park there, said T F1 ·nk Bartscheck. director of finance and management systems deve lopment at UB. The fee would be the same for everybody. but it lrasn' been determined how much the fee will be. Permit holden would be allowed to park in the lot. but wouldn' be guaranteed a spot. There would also be a daily rate for visiton. Converting an existing lot to a paid· parking lot would have to be approved by the unions at UB because it would be a change in workina conditions. But this is a new lot and doesn 'l constitute a change in working conditions, Banscheck said. There's no prohibition against charging fees for parking in a lot built with State money. he wd. Other SUNY campuses charge for parking. The mstitu t1on of park10g fee~ o n th1s lot 1s the firs t Jtep 10 puttmg m place the reco mmendati o ns of the Pres· ide nt's Ta."'k Force o n f-»arkl ng. he ex pl ai ned . The umom have been notified that th e reco mmend ati o ns a re bemg p ut mt o place, he added Is there more pai d park 10g down the ro ad '! " I would expect that if you loo k at the parking proposal. it definitely sug· gests that." Bartscheck said . Other recommendations included setting aside a desirable lot for ca.rpoolers; co nsolidating under one administrator everything that has to do with parking; allowing dorm residents to park only near their dorms; setting up infonnation booths or a radio system to tell people when lots are full; building a covered parking'Tamp on the Amherst Campus; publicizing alternate methods of transportation. and oetting aside a lot for smaU cars. The lot north of Fronczak is on schedule and should be ready by the beginning of the fall semester, accord· ing to Harbans Grover, director of architectural services. The lot cost $626,000.

However, to avoid " When you have a large number of volunta7 faculty as we do. they tel)d to run of by themselves , I think ,"" Naughton said . "They don' recognize that they have the same responsibilities as everyone else. I can see how it happened . .. But it's not to be condoned ... There are no spec ific plans to censure Boeh mke , but the matter is being discussed , Flint said . It may be a matter ""of si mpl y telling him not to d o this again , whi c h other colleagues appan:ntly have done, be added .

The Faculty Senate had recom· mended that guns be made available at all times for use in violent situations. then put away when not needed . Sample clearly wove th is suggestion into his pla n. The senate also recommended that o fficers not routinely carry firearms. Even though Sample dido' mcorporatc: that into his plan. "I think he listened to our positi on very well ," Boot commented. Ninety per cent of the people who work during the day won' notice any difference. Boot predicted. and tbe gu ns won"''. be used more than once every ten years.

B Reflects professional l8l staff's vote Arthur Burke , chairperson of t he Professional Staff Senate. noted that his "oup voted in 1985 to support Pubhc Safety"s request that officers be selectively armed. However, be personal!¥ doesn' favor arminjl. Burke said that he realiz.es there ts potential for violent crime and that public safety officers are putting their bodies on the line. " But it"s a difficulty I have admitting all o' this in my own head," he said . ..To agree with it is to admit we\te cOme to this ... He added that he hasn' seen an incident that would have been handled better if officers had guns.

" How thrilled I was. after working on it so long. to finall y be able to teach so meone wh o was paralyzed and unable to speak clearly to operate a telev1~ i o n se t or th e light on the bed sid e tabl e:," he said with a smile.

Davis' system is paradoxical. It has both a broad window and a minimum of falsing. Since the patent is pendi ng for the system's software. which carries the sec ret , he is obvious ly unwilling to tell how it works.

Another may be in inventory control or vinually any job or task which would benefit from control by speech. s.uch as openi ng a door. "'Several Or the largest toy manufacturers have investigated my system and are inte rested in how it could bt ap plied to toys and games." Davis adds. Although the system's software is a sec ret, the tfardware used with it can be purchased now at most comp ut er equipment and electronic· stores fo r arou nd $700. -1 understand that, [rom a marketing point of view, industry and business will probably be the most interested in the system - they can visualize the sales potential O[ products which would incorporate my design ," he says. But eve~ more important to Davis. as the system's Qeveloper. is the device 's ability to give paralyzed persons, even those who have impaired speech, a measure or co ntr ol over ord inary objects in their environmen . increasing their independence. 0 avis ' develop ment of the system is a story si milar to that of man y inventors .

They're tbe tbinp tbat give lemons their astringent taste and make orange peel bitter. The colors of autumn leaves and spring flowers are caused by flavonoids. Their primary purpose seems to be to protect the plant. But scientists in a myriad of fields are excited about flavonoids for their other potential uses. They may be useful as food sweeteners and herbicides. Flavonoids appear to be the active ingredient in many centuriCH>Id fol_k medicines and may be useful as .anhinflammatory, antiallergic, and antiviral a11ents.

The otber organizers of the symposium an: Alain Bcretz of Strasbourg, France and Jeffrey Harbome of Reading England. Harborne is the world's leading authority on flavonoids, Middleton said. The purpose of the symposium _is to bring together scientists from cberms· try, biology, pharmacology, and chnocal medicine who an: working with -flavonoids.

The ftrst cooference drew people from 18 countries· and 30 states. They were clinicians , bioloaists , immunologists, chemists, plant chemiJu, pbarmacol.o gisu, and people who studied bcrbicides. "These an: people who donl usuaUy meet eacJ\ other," Cody noted. She 'was afraid they might be so different from each other that they 'd mix as well as oil and water. But by the end of the meeting, the crowd was a homogeneous solution, she said. M na- iddleton got interested in vonoids through bis work with allergies. He wanted to find out how allergic react ions can be modified so people are less sick with things like asthma, hay fever, or eczema. Cody is a crystallographer whose primary work has been in thyroid endocnnology and anti-cancer drug design. • She has been looking at why flavonoids work in treating thyroid conditions when the flavonoid structures donl resemble the structure of a hormone, which woul~ normally be used . That led to work _wtth ~ drug company in Europe that ~ tryln!j . to make a . medicine for thyrotd condthons. ore M been tban 3 ;000 . flavonoids have idcntiftcd, and more an: bcina discovered every day, Cody aaid.

Amazingly, some flavonotds completely protect against that in laboratory animals, Middleton said. . If we eat flavonoids every day, why an:n l we completely healthy?

The next step tn research is to find active forms so that the body can absorb them. 0 ore than 200 educators, authors and specialists on Latin America from some 20 nat i ons world-wide will attend the Third Congress of the Internat ional Federation of Latin America and Cari bbean Studies ScptembCr 2326 at UB's Qnter for Tomorrow. Jorge J .E.

Robert Allendoerfe r proved this theory to be a myth. myse lf having to sell my subject to students who would probably never take another chem istry course. " I try 10 make gener~l chemistry relevant to their lives. About once a week I give them so me practical application of th e material that's being covered . For instance, show them why wh at they do at Occidental Chemical has the effects that they do. " If I can make st udents understand the practical value that general chemistry has in the 'real' world, I feel I have been su=ssful." Acoording to Joseph T ufariello, chairman o f the Chemistry Department and the person who nominated Allendoerfe r for the Chancellor's Award, Allend oerfer nourished under his new responsibilities. "Dr. Allendoerfer h as rece ived ex tremely positive reviews for his recent involve ment with the general chemistrylevel courses," Tufariello said. "And he scores extremely high on the student evaluation forms banded out at the end of each semester. " Dr. Allendoerfer has also pioneered the introduction of the computer as a learning . tool in freshman-level chemistry." and teaching assistants in the School of Management. In the classroom itself, Perry has established so me guidelines which have made him successfu(there. " A big thing with me is organiza· tion," P~rry said. "Before I even set foot into a class I make sure that everything from . the syllabus to the lecture notes and the examples I will use in class are all planned out. "Once I'm in the class I try to esrablish a learning climate in which people will feel comfortable learning and ask ing questions. Attitude is very important •n being: sua:asful here. "If someone asks a question, you can't say 'Geez, what a dumb question.' No one will ever ask a question again because they'll be afraid of being embarraued. "The third thing I try to do is strive for complete fairness in testing and grade evaluation. You can~ tough. but as long as you're fai r--and up front about it students will accept that and work toward those sandards." Perry find s teaching extremel y rewarding but wants to, and has made. significant contributions in other areas. Perry is currdlfly working with colleagues James Hartigan and Sreenivas Kamma on the trio's second research , paper on "protectionism" in the capital -PERRY market.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Muller and his research team discovered a barium, lanthanum, and co pper oxide com· pound that supercond ucted at )5° K. Scientists were skeptical at first, but minds began to c hange when the experiments were reproduced in other labs . At Bell Labs. a research team was able to develop a new co mpound that superconducted at 38' K. Another researcher found an even higher temperature superco nducto r in One reason why that discovery is imJ>9rtant is that the material could he cooled with liQuid nitrogen (with a boiling point of 77". K), rather than the mucb more expensive liquid belium. Since that discovery, scientists ha"" been rushing to produce even hi&J>cr temperature superconductors.

According to Larry Steele. sports information director at UB. the cause for the delay is an NCAA regulation governing the eligibility of transfer student-athletes. ~ The NCAA residency requirement stipulates that student -athletes wh o transfer from one four-year institution to another must sit out a year before resumi_ng competition in a Division II or higher program. This rule doesn 't exist in Division III , but institutions that wanl to move up to Division II must observe the regulations for two years before receiving reclassification. UB , in Division Ill last year and not having made at that point a firm decision to seck an upgrade for this year, permitted transfers to play without sittmg out. Steele said that the UB administra· tion and the provost's office were aware that U 8 was in violation of the transfer-student regulation and filed a petition for a waiver of tbe residency requirement in addition to the request for an upgrade to Division II. .. A year ago we had no way of knowing that we'd bC applying for Division II stat us in 1987-88," Steele said. "It was hoped that because of our situation (an accelerated time-frame for upgrad· ing), the NCAA would overlook the residency req_uirement." However, tt was decided that UB had to demonstrate one year of compliance with the regulation before it could file a petition to have the second year waived. UB will thus remain at. Division Ill in 1987-88 in order to meet the one· year residency requirement. Two students were in violation. "For now we were only ble to submit our Division II appli lion," Steele said. ..The petition for waiving the residency requirement cannot be filed until January. • At that time we will ahow that we have been in compliance with their regulation for one year." When all regulations have been met, it is expected that the NCAA will 1:1.pprove UB's application for Division II status. Because the NCAA still must approve the waiver petition, there is a possibility that the 1988-89 season could also he played out at the Division Ill level but, more probably, the season will he UB's first at Division II . .. It has been a rather routine procedure for the NCAA tp grant a waiver of the second year residency requirc'ment to schools in the same situation as ourselves if they have demonstrated the one year of compliance that is necessary," Steele explained. According to Steele, the delay by the NCAA shouldn' be viewed as a big setback . "The whole upgrad ing plan was projected to take between five and seven years, and this one year won't change that," be said. "It represents only one year in a long process. "The only problem this presents is that we will not be able to provide grants-in-aid this year." Steele said that it has not been determined whether the status of any recruits, will he affected by this beeause U 8 coaches are currently in the process of contacting all of their student-athletes. Although UB will not be able to award any grants-in-aid based solely on athletic ability this year. '-rants according to need wiiJ be avadable for the first time in a few years . ·Although in theorr, and according to NCAA guidelines, we've been able to grant these types of need awards in the past, in actuality we've been unalile to do so because of insufficient funds," UB's Division II bid Steele said.

More details are available; budget picture appears mixed By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO U 8 didn' get everything it wantal in the 1987-88 budget, according to Voldemar lnnus, associate vice president for resouroe planning. . There are three th ings in particular that we 're going to have to deal with. he noted : • There's a n inc rea sed s avings factor. The savings factor (also called frictional savings} forces UB to keep pos itions open for a while before a replacement is hired . This savings fac· tor is bigger tha£1 it was last year. However. no vacancy targets will be assigned within UB. It is hoped th:h some of the sav ings can be generated by new positions that UB is getting thro ugh the Graduate and Research Initiative and in the clinical medicine area.

SUNY's .minori·ty enrol·_......nt higher than m~st By SHAWN CAREY inority student enrollment in the colleges of America has been declining in recent years. Despite this alarming trend , SUNY has actually increased its enrollment of minorily students over' tbe past ten years. "The State University of New York is not showing a decline in enrollment of minority students, although this has been the experience in other areas ~f the nation, .. said Frank Po~ue Jr., v1cc chancellor for student affrurs and special programs. ..Minority enrollment has actually increased by 15.422 since 1976." He spoke during a presentation on minorit y student recruitment and retention in SUNY at the Board of Trustees· June 24 meeting. Broken down into racial / ethnic groups, the prese nt ati o n showed that in 1986: • Black non-Hispanic enrollment was up to 20.96 I . from 15 .236 in 1976. • Hispa nic e nro llm ent was up 9.665 from 4.955 in I 976. • Enrollment o f As1an and Pacific Islanders was up to 7,774 from 2,280 in 19 76 • Ame ri c an lnd1an or Alaskan Native enr ollment was down from 1.437 '" 1976 to 1.200 10 1986. th e onl y mm ont y grou p to decline 1n SUNY enr ollment •H nce 1976 Despite overall gam~ . 11 was emphasIZed that SUNY can not stand back and admtre ll!t accomphshments because: thi ~ success has been relative onl y to the lack of succe ss cx.penc nced by other institutions. · " When thts accomplishment IS co m- M ~~~~~iri::ir;:t ~~! Y!~kJ C.~~n~~! ognize we an: srill q uite a distance from our goals, .. Pogue said . In 1986. minority enrollment represented I 1.5 per cent of total enrollment, up from 7.7 per cent in 1976. But this figure is still quite low considering that min orities make up 20.5 percent of the New York State population. he bigger picture 9f this problem T illustrates that a large percentage of aH minorities does not receive a college ~ducation. degree, and consequent tncreased opponunity. According to Pogue, much of SUNY's success in increasing minori ty -enroHment ·can be attributed to the system's effons during the past few years to recruit, retain , and graduate minor- ity students. To deal with this bigger problem, ;m increase in the recruitment efforts, especially in the areas of retention and graduation of st udents, is necessary. "We recognize that it i•n' enough to simply recruit minority students to our campuses," Pogue said . "Once they are here, we need to make certain that the academic and support activities so necessary to a successful educati,pnal experience are provided. "We are concerned about all phases of this effort, beginning with recruitment and continuing on through retention, graduation. employment, and the alumni years ... Also at the meeting, the board authorized the chancellor to establish guidelines for the State University's Underrepresented Minority Fellowship Program, part of the Graduate and Research Initiat ive . According to Pogue, the progra~ '!. of Minority Popu'-tlon would provide additional incentive for minority students to pursue graduate ed ucation . Pogue also said the University will soon open a special office in New York City specif\cally geared to recruiting students from schools in New York Ci ty where the graduating classes now are comprised primarily of minorities. This office, to be staffed by a director, newly appointed Edward Bell, and three full -time recruiters, win cover all five boroughs of the city and also provide a base for recruiters from other SUNY campuses. SUNY-w1de, a new position of director of SUNY minority access services has been filled by Jacqueline Davis. Davis will coordinate the dfons of existing minority student recruitment and retention officers at each of the 30 State campuses. minority graduate recruitment l?rogram at U B has made. Currently hiS office serves 4,000 students each year. These students can work through 16 programs which arc specifically targeted for minority and disadvantaged. students. Acco rd ing to Palmer, hiS office has been actively pursuing fundtng avatlable through the Federal Graduate and Professio nal Study Fellowship Program . The result of these efforts has been an increase from S84,000 tn 198485 to Sl85 .500 in 1986-87 . Palmer does not focus his overall plan on minority students at the graduate or even undergraduate level. .. Education is a co ntinuous process that begins in elementary school and culminates at graduate sc hool," said Palrqer in his report. _ .. Any realistic attempt to recrult and retain minorities must mclude programs which address the academic deficiencies in elementary and high school preparation. the lack of viable social networks, and the career stereotyping which many minorities experience ... Pogue added that, "we are well aware of the minority drop--out rate in the elementary grades ~n,t--that we simply must begin reac ~g students earher than we arc now. "We have an outreach ~ to fulfill in helping create an iq.terest in higher education among mihority students long before they reach high school." The most disturbin& _ figures were presented by Sherman Iverson, -assistant vice chancellor for policy analysis. According to Iverson, even !bough lbe number of high school age minoril~ is increasing, the number of minority students enrolled in grade 12 in New York State has been steadily declining since 1980. By racial/ethnic breakdown, ihe largest decline bas been within the black and Hispanic. populations. wh1ch make up the maJonty of he total minority population. Only the num ber of Asian and Pacific Island students '" gr~e 12 has· increased since 1980. Palmer suggested lbat SUNY's abd11' to increase its minority enrollme n.t would be enhanced by successful prOgrams to reach elementary and h1gh school age students. ThiS idea gf reaching minont y ~ t u ­ dents as early as possible was endorsed by Darnell Cole, vice president for ara demic affairs at lbe College of l cch nology at Delhi, and Emeterio Ouc"' assistant director of admissi On\ d; Monroe Community College . Cole explained lbat his job at Dclh , was to bring an improved brand ul raciaJ heterogeneity to a small. ru rd college which had previously been nearly all-white. Cole said that he ha ' been ~uccessful at Delhi and that h'' success can be repeated at other s1m dur SUNY campuses. He urged other universities to - t<th some risks" and not to .. hide bt:h md· the rationalization that min ont) ~tu dents will not want to come to thnr respective univenities. Arnold Gardner, a board mcm n..·, from Buffalo, proposed that the board should consider holding those: campu"(' which do not make an effort t1 • enhance minority enrollment account able for those actlons, or lack of act1nn' When advised that substanual ob><l · vation or' the Problem at ind 1v1dud! universi6es would be in SUNY "s be" interests, GardDer said that rather th <tn just "sh oveling smoke:· th e board should attempt to ..rut so me teeth 1nto our stated desire o farther mcrc:<l!t tng minority enrollment and n:lentt on" within the SUN-Y system.

Whitmore said . In 1984. lhc system of colleges that had existed was esse nt iall y disbanded , Whitmore ex plained . Each college was required to become affiliated with a department or facult y.

" Black Mountain was created al a time when there were a whole bunch of collej!CS," he said. "There were philosopblcal al)d administrative reasons for them to exist. But all of those arc gone." The mission of Black Mountain is to se rve the arts interests of non-majors, Whitmore said . He- has decided that dcpanmcnts, rather than a separate college. would better serve those stud.cnts. (He noted that although people have cont inued to usc the word ...college ... lhal name was dropped last year. The Undergraduate Ccftlcgc is now lhc only college al U B.) A department would serve nonmajors better because it has more resources and a broader range of fac uhy, Whitmore said . " If given the responsibility to meet the needs of non-majors. the faculty can and are eager to do it ... he said. Whitmore noted that the academic departments already do offer courses and performance opport unities for nonmajors, but the proposal would give the departments a more all-enco mp ass ing responsibility in th-at area. lack Mp untain will cont inue to offe r its co urses this faiL In the spring. the co urses wo uld be offered by the Arts and Letters departments.

"Three years from · now will the curriculum be exactly the same? .. he wondered aloud. "Who knows? "Curriculum ·changes all the lime. And it should. "But that's up to the faculty to decide.

Students can cam points by doing things like working· backstage durin)! a Black Mouf\lain concen. T?csc pomts earn special privHeges, such as a single room. From this work and other outings and meetings, there's a sense of camaraderie. There were 85 registered .students in 1984. down from · ·a figure in the hundreds, he said. This decline was another reaso n for the proposed administrative change. But the students made it clear that they wanted to keep the residential program.

The Music Department alone offers 2SO events a year. The arts management courses, which gave studenu hands~n experience in things like publici ty and book~ccping. will still be available. In fact . students worlUng in these backstage areas will be ne,cded desperately, he pointed out. Whttmore said that he docsn' expect this administrative change to. affect the experimental. flavor of Black Mountain. The departments of Theatre and Dance. Media Studies.

The comments come in the wake of last week's release of a General Accounting Office (GAO) report that found there was no bias in the award- ing of the grant for the Natio nal Eart hquake Engineering Research Center to a consorti um of universities headed by UB. Howe ve r. the report also found serio us problems 10 the National Science Foundation's (NSF) management of the award process. According to the report, NSF officials' Jack of firm d irection over the process as well as their poor documentaton "'made th e NSF dec1sion appear suspect. " .. It's not New York's fault th e process is flawed ," said Alan Cranston, the Californi a se nator who d oes not want the competition reopened. He said that the New York co nsortium submitted a good proposal in good faith . Reopening the competit io n would create a political issue "that makes the present controversy pale by compari son," Cranston said. Cranston and the other California senator, Pete Wilson, had requested that the GAO investigate last year's · award to the UB grnup. The senators !bought the award should have gone to a group of California universities headed by Bctkel.ey. W1lson believes that there were "serious enough mistakes made that the .. t~~aati~~~s~~~u~~P~Y ~~n~;e::~ fo r Wilson. Will he be able to accomplish that? "He's going to try," Ro)"ter replied. Roben Ketter, · leading professor of engineering at UB and director of the national center, docsn' expect that Wilson's attempt to reopen the competition will cause problems. "Wilson is picking a political boise to ride," Ketter said . "The repon confirms what everybod y else has said- there was no favoritism in awarding the grant and the choice was the right choice." Ketter noted that the GAO sent tbe technical sections of the California and New York proposals 10 four indepe nd· Portion of totem pole is lifted upright .in Ellicott T he to tem pole 10 U B's Marian Wh1tc Anthropo logy Museum is standing a bit ta ller toda y.

For the- pas t seve n years. the totem pole has been undergoing restoration under the careful hand of Jonah D. Marguli s. a re1i red Buffalo Public Schools psychologist and administrator who is now a ~earcher for the Anthropology Department. The raising of the pole is quite an acco mplishmen t considering the obsta~ cles: the age of the pole (about 100 years old) and the lack of grant money, Margulis noted . Volunteers made the whole thing possible. " We had people from all walks of life - students , professors, senior citizens, and industry," he explained in his rapid-fire method of speaking. "They were all heo:e just out of the desire to do it." He· has been aided in the restoration work by Frank J. Dinan, a professor of chemistry at Canisius College, and Sumner C. Nunley, a retired science teacher wilh the Buffalo Public School•. The actual raising of the pole was made possible by Nils Lu!ldgre'n and Ron Worczak of Higgins Erectors and Haulers- who did the work for free Margulis said . And he credited Mead Supply Inc. for their help with the scaffolds. Margulis also said that he is grateful to the Anthropology Ocpanment for allowing him to do the work.

"Some days we ol\ly work IS prinutes, tbcn go home," Margulis \._explained. " We didn't mind 'at first. but now parking is beginning to gel hard ," he quipped . The pole was carved abo ut 1885 by Alaskan Indians, Margulis surmises. Friends of Mau Larkin, the inventor of a juke-box-like machine tliat predated Edison's phonograph, decided it would be the perfect gift for a man who had everything. In 1904, they substituted five oversized replicas of the beads of Larkin· and four friends , apparently in place of five small 1otcms such as frogs or rabbits.

M eanwhile, it's business as usUal at the earthquake center , Stein pointed out. ~ we 've had the center for almost a year and it's been engaged in very lmponant«seareh," he said . In explaining why he docsn' want the corrlpctition reopened, Cranston noted that the New York consonium already has invested in expensive equipment and is plannning a major conference in the fall. HoweVer, Cranston does want some steps taken. There should be a peer review of the center's first 18 months of work (prior to gelling third-year funding), he says. In view of the • dures, he also wants the grant to come from other funds, freeing this money up for other scientific work. He also wanu action taken to restore the integrity of the peer review process. Wilson also bas proposed steps to make the award process clearer. He contends that ~e ~SF didn~ cJ.early establish the objectives or cnlerta in this case. "California, New York, and universities in other stllld which competed for the ·grant have all' been the victim of poor judgement and mismanagemenl by the National Science Foundation .· Wilson said. He acknowledges that the GAO found no evidence of preselection or favoritism, but argues lhat the award must be challenged because the process was flawed . If the process was flawed , Steon pointed .

According to the stu~y conducted by Ge rmaine Buck. Ph.D .. babies who die of SlDS typically. at birth. weigh less than five pounds and five ounces. measure less than 20 inches long, and are delivered earlier than 37 weeks gestation. Buck "s findin$5 were presented June 19 at the meetmg of the Society for Epidemiologic Research in Amherst , Mass. The study, conducted by Buck as a doctoral candidate in UB"s Depart· ment of Social and Preventive Medi• cine, also woo the Society's prestigious Abraham Lilienfeld Award for best student resean:h. She is currently a clinical assistant professor in the depart· ment. SIDS, which swiftly and without warning k.ills, usually within the first six months after birth, has no known cause. SIDS babies are typically nor· mal, healthy infants who are found dead, wually in their cribs. This killer of infanta gives no signs, no s.rmptoms. and it strikes rich and poor alike. "Diaanosis of SIDS at autopsy is N always a diagnosis of exclusioit, it re mains as the likeliest cause of death when all other diseases and disorde rs have been excluded.· says Buck . The UB research«. says reducti on in birth weight and binh length. called proponional growth retardation, which the SlDS infants share. lllay be related to insults which occur to the fetus early in the pre11nancy. These ansults include the mother's consumption of aJcohol: consumption of drugs - ille~al, prescription. or ove r-the-counter~ madequate nutrition. and exposure to chemicals or other substances in the environment which can affect fetal growth. These may be particularly critical in the earliest weeks and months of pregnancy . Buck believes. "We know, for instance, the fetus achieves about 75 per cent of ita birth length by the end of the eecond trimester of pregnancy," abe points out. Then:fon:, it may be during this time that insults which would slow the growth involving length could occur. n general, risk of SIDS decreases I SIDS, with increase in infant size. which was formally recognized during the early 1960s, occurs in two to three live births per thousand in the population of developed nations around the. world, a rate which remains unchanged toda y. It is extremely difficult . says Buck . to estimate the figures ror S IDS m developing nations because infa nts there are likely 10 die within the first year of life from a variety of diseases and problems co nnected with nutriti on and environment. B}.lck 's stud y examined barth weight. birth length. head circu mference and length of time in utero for aJI babies born in New York State in 1974, excluding New York C it y. She then examined ide nticaJ factors for infant deaths in New York State for 1974 and 1975. A total of 148 autopsies con· firmed cases of SIDS, 114 infant deaths from all other causes including trauma and 355 living infants who had reached their first birthday were compared in the stud y. .. Even when I examined factors such as education levels and occupations of the parents of the babies in the three groups, none of these data .. ~u~,te4. socicreconomic, educational or ·· Faeallii status of the parents affected the SIDS risk," Buck points out. The only facto"· she says, which the SIDS babtes bad in common wen: birth weight of less than live pounds five ounces, birth length of less than 20 inches and a gestation period of less than 37 weeks. "This is not to. say that all babies which fit th is pattern will d ie of SIDS." she. emphasizes, .. it only suggests that these factors which are the result of delayed development which occurs in pregnancy ~ puts them at higher risk . than average ... B ased on the results of her st udy , Buck says it would appear that the earlier the mother·to-be receives prenatal co unse lin~ and examination. the better for the mfant. ·· Man y women may believe that it's not important to check in with the doctor or clinic until they ·show' weight gain. Others may not believe they an: pregnant in the first two months. especially if they have a history of irregular menstrual periods," Buck points out. And some physicians have suggested women not schedule their rtrSt prenatal visit until after they've missed two periods. .. The study suggests, however. that the earlier the mother-to-be gets adequate nutrition, abstains from alcohol and tobacco and other chemicals including illegal drugs as well as medi· cations, the less likely she may be to run the risk of the baby dying later from SIDS," Buck surmises. Buck's study was conducted with grant ' monies from the National SIDS Foundation and assistance> from the Ne.w York State Health Department. 0 �July. I, 1117 Sum....,.

Roswell Park is one of the UB Medical School's teaching hospitals. Doctoral candidates obtain their Ph.D.s through a joint program, the UB Roswell Park Graduate Division. The Long Range Strategic Plan for Roswell Park was announced by State Health Co mmissioner David Axelrod , M.D . and Thomas Tomasi. M.D .. the institute director. The long-awaited plan recommend s removing the institute from the jurisdic- tion of the State Health Department and establishing it as a public benefit corporation. The Health Department now· oversees iu operation, but the new plan would 1et up a new board of trustees and give the inStitute director greater executive po,..,n. The report also recommends that RosMH Park strengthen its relationship with the UB School of Medicine by sig ning an agreement tbat would expand and reinforce its affiliation as a teaching hospital. Tomasi wants UB to be more involved in Roswell Park's doctoral, posHioctoral and residency programs. The closer relationship wiU also be renected in changes in the institute's infrastructure; for example, heads of Roswell Park uniu will also 1erve as heads of the same UB uniu, for example, radiation or oncolo~ . Salary enhancement tS another part of the plan that involves UB. Tomasi said that pbysiciaru' salaries at Roswell Park have nol been competitive with other academic institutions, including UB. A stronger affiliation agreement with UB would help remedy the recruiting problems, an d also benefit joint UB / RosweU programs. The plan would develop a faculty practice plan (UB established one in 1984) to correct wage scale deficiencies. Curn:nUy, Roswell Park and UB representatives serve on search committees to ftll key positions at the institute. Those named to fill the positions will have joint U B Jppointmcnts. That joint appointment, Tomasi added, will help supplement salaries. Other major features or the plan al_'e to: ) :.Construct a new clinical facil_ity by • Establish a magnetic resonance imaging center lo meet regional needs and strengthen its radiation medicine program. • Establish a scientific advisory hoard to help maintain quality of research and provide directions for ne" research . • Increase marketing efforts l o retain and attract more cancer patients. 0 �Julyt,1117 ~No.2 Awards he hestlaw stude nt> in trial tcchni<JUC . th ~ yea( , biggest ach1ever in urhan planning. and the num be r one c ho ice of the American Academ y of (;o ld Fo il Operator- were among 1ho'e honored by van ou' U B de· panmenl' 10 May .

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The JAB rank-ordered the vo Ueyball, and football . Exoept for foo tball, these sports will all be able to provide grants-in-aid to prospective recruits.

To make the process even more com plex . Di visio n II grant-in-aid money can be split up between tnore than one student. Thus 12 grants-in-aid at the Division 11 level could be used to provide partial scholarships for more than 12 players. At the Division I level, no partial scholarships are allowed, so one grantin-aid mea ns one st udent athlete. lthough U B officials say they have no reason to believe the NCAA A will den y the University's application, until it is approved UB coaches will continue to be slightly over a barrel in their recruiting effons. According to Larry Steele, sports information director at UB, coaches in the Tier One spons have in some cases been unable to sign prospective recruits without bein~ able to officially offer them a grant-m-aid. Ed · Muto, interim sports director at UB, is hopeful that the NCAA will all.eviate this problem , with the approv· al of UB's application, by mid-to-late June. AccordJng to Muto, the wajt for a decision has also made the scheduling of games and meets more difficult than in past years. Scheduling should become easier since it has been announced that UB will join the Mideast Collegiate Confer· ence for the 1987-88 season. This will prove a big help, particularly in bas· ketball where, according to NCAA rules, it is necessary for UB to play at least 50 pe r cent of its games against Division II teams. UB will join Ganqon University, Mercyhurst, Lemol"e• Mansfield State, Philadelphia Textile, Poa: University, and Adelphi College in their new con· ferenoe. UB bad previously been a member of the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Confer· enoe).

But UB aluinnus Tanri , Abeng, president director of PT Multi Bintang, Indonesia's largest beer brevicry, shies away from the comparison. .. You can't compare us; lacocca is a businessman in a b1g cou ntry. ~aybe (you can compare us) in terms of what I'm doing in a small place," Abeng says. " I share his management philosophy - basically, business is people. Bustness is organization and organization is peo~le. " Like Chrysler chief lacocca, Abeng, 45, is an infl uential business leader whose expertise in the area of man· · agement extend s far beyond his company. In fact, Abeng. who was at UB last mohth to speak at the School of Management 's co mmencement, estimates he spends about half of his 12-hour workdays on Multi Bintang business and half on his ..extracurricular .. activities. He is president of the Indonesian Management Association: a member of the ad visory board of the Indonesian Institute of Management Development, a lllllllagement school that grants an MBA degree; chairman of the Environmenlal Depanmept of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce; a permanent member ot a government committee on business, manaaement and economic iuuea, and founder, fmt ;resident and cunent board member o the lndone..sian Finaucial Executive Institute. An · avid tennis player, Abeng is chairman of the Indonesian Lawn Tennis Association, and serves as a member of the International Council of the New Yorkbased Asia Society. e also is involved in several personal ventures, including a plantation and a management consulting firm. Although he says he did not have the capilal f(lr these ventures, be was asUd to participate because of his business expertise. .. Particularly in Indonesia and other developing countries, someone with a reasonable educational background and experience always wiU be in tremendous demand ," Abeng says . "I ' m involved in almost every new management activity in the country. It's hard to escape from that; you are in demand. .. It's not nice to say 'no'. I can say •no' in business, but when it comes to penonal favon , I have a. problem saymg ' no ' ... Abeng was one of several prominent businessmen nominated by the GOL- H fo~Rth~r l~d~~!i!',art~arllam~id:,~ Consultative Assembly. The party, which won 75 per cent of the voting tn the January election, bas yet to select those who will actually serve in the government. Abeng . says he would accept a post in the assembly. wpjch is more of an honorary body than tht, parliament. "If N ifficult for business people to . takf both (positions)," be says. "Parliament is a full-time political JOb; that is not my intention. (As a busiDCSSman) I have to have an interest in politics, but I don't want to be a politician. But if an assembly ~st becomes available;, I will welcome 11. • Neither buiiness nor politics were among Abeng's early . interesu; as a youth, be wanled to be a teacher. "While in elementary school ·J thought the most respectful occupation was teaching, • be says, not.ina that teaching •as an occupation where one •could be somebody, be respectful and do 5<1mething for somebody else. • However, a year spent in the United States during the 1960s' as part of the Amer.ican Fteld Service (AFS) program changed his penpective. "I learned about industry, the business sector and the U.S. fmc enterprise system, which appreciates that one Clln contribute to sOCiety and to himself as a private citizen, • be says. pon returning to lndooc:sia, be earned a bachelor of business administration degree from Hasanuddin Univenity while working part time as an administrator at a local company. He returned to Western New York he had attended Clarence Central Higb School while in the AFs program earning his MBA degree from UB in 1968 . .. It w~ratber natural for me to concentrate on business," he says. "I found it to be very dynamic; if anything, business is probably one o( the most dynamic professions. There's always a challenge. You've got to survive, and you're always under pressure to sutvive and perform (financially)," unlike working for the government, which has almost unlimited resources. Three days after graduation, Abeng began work as a management trainee for Union Carbide Corp. He held several positions with Union Carbide's Indonesian and Singapore d ivisions before landing his current positio n with Multi Bintang. When Abeng took over as head of tbe beer company in 1980, it was owned solely by Heineken Internat io nal, the Dutch brewer. Under Abeng's leaden hip, it has gone public, with Heineken owning about 76 per cent of the shares. U H e also has changed the col1'pany's direction. In a cpuntry that IS predominantly Moslem - Moslems are not sup~ to, dilink ak:ohol - a company dlat aelll' ~only beer would serve a very small market, says Abeng, who .penuaded his superion to change the company's name from Bir Bintang to PT Multi Bintang. .. We recog nize the fact that beer continues to be limited in terms of volume, ... he says . .. We're maintaining beer as one of our main products, but arc diversifying to non-beer beverages. We have to minimize the vulnerability of the com pan y ; the com pan y is vulnerable if there is only one product, particularly if that product is beer. • The company has launched two new products, Frezzy Malta, a drink with a malt base hut no alcohol, and Green Sands Shandy, a blend of apple and lime concentrates and beer. Since the drink has less. than I per cent alcoho l content, it is considered a soft drink. Multi Bin tang . is one of the best structured companies in lodonesia in terms of management systems and tbe professionalism of the stall. Abeng says. " In Indonesia, what we call management is still very young," he says. Chief executives usually are directly involved in the day-to-day operations of their companies and normally are unable to ilelegate tbeoc duties, he says. " Managing a business in Indonesia is not as easy as managing in welldeveloped countries, such as the United ~tales, where. everything is structured," Abeng noted. "In Indonesia, the (business) environment changes so rapidly you don't ftnd easily profes.oional managen who have the capabilities _to work individually. They need a lot of highlevel involvement to keep the company functioning. • T be management characteristics that work well for American companie! on Amencan IIIII ba.e haibjlered American multinational comparues operating in developing countries such as Indonesia, Abeng says. Aliterican multinationals held 80 ~r cent ohbe total foreign investment m Indonesia in 1968; that ftpre today has plunged to only 8 per cent, be says. Abeng cites five "weiliesses • of American multinationals that have pre- TanrlAbMg vented the co mpanies from capitalizing on the investment opportunit ies in developing countries : • Bureaucracy, or a lack of speedy decision-mak ing. ..In developing countries, changes take place rapidly. You can 't afford not to h ave speed y decision-making, .. he says. • Managing businesses in foreign countries as if they were American. "I call it the cook book approach to management," Abeng says, noting manage n have to consider the special circumstances of foreign co untne5, such as the culture., • Frequent shifting of employees within the company. " Multinatio nals have a tendency to shift people around so quickly. People perform (in one position) for a short period of time and tn the process (managen) very often sacrUIQC the long·tCflll J nterests of the company," be says, calling~e companies .. bottom-line oriented ... • Fear of risk-taking. "There is a tendency by multinational managen to avoid risk-taking. They want to protect their own interests and in the process lose their entrepreneurial spirit, which is needed, particularly in developing countries."' • Difficulty adapting to chan$•· " Multinationals have a problem wtth tiying to adapt to changes, • Abeng says, adding that the management sys'tems are very rigid. "They have difficulty responding to new things; they have to remember that local COJDpanies and.........ultinationals are competing agailllt tbem. ~What has got to be recognized by the multinationals is that unless tbey can be more 'flexible and recogni%e and ada~t to changes, and be less bureaucrattc, they will continue to find it difficult to take advantage of opportunities in the developing countnes," he says. o Abeng knew they must sell more than beer in a Moslem countryMoslems can't drink.

' he National Ce nter for Earthquake E ngineering Research (NCEER) sponsored a semin ar May 12 at U B on two recent earthquakes - o ne in Ecuador and one in New Zealand . The ce nter sent a team of engineers from Co rnell Un iversity to Ecuador. after the March 5 earthquake there. The NCEER team was the first group dispatched from the U.S . to gather information on the effects of this earthquake. The earthquake has major signifi- T cance for earthquake engineering , acrording to Estaban C=po. a graduate student at Cornell , and Thomas D. O'Rourke, Ph.D., associate professor of civil ens!ocering at Cornell It's significant because of the damage it caused to the Traos-Ecuadorian piJ»Iine and to other structures. Crespo reported that the damage to the piJ»Iine re~rescnts the largest single loss of a pipehne in history. • Two tremors were recorded on March 5 in the Napo Province, one at 8:55 a.m. measuring 6. 1 on the Richter scale and another at I I: II a .m. measuring 6.9. The quakes triggered mudslides aod rock avalanches ncar the active vol- . cano, El Reventador. The mudslides,. in tum , caused rivers to swcU with mud and debris. The mudslides and fl oodi ng caused the death of up to 2,000 people in th e rural area th at was dotted wi th villages. J"he eart hqu ake damaged the 26-inch lfans-Ecuad o rian pipeli ne which car ries o il 260 miles from the Ecuad o rian oil fields eas t of the Andes Mountains to the pa n of Es meraJd as on t he Pacific Ocean. In a ll locations of dam age , the pipeli ne was constructed above groun d , supponed by concrete pedestals or double pipe piles with cross beams. About 6.5 mtles of the pipeline was. com pletely dest royed along the north bank of the Coca River, east of its connuencc with the Salado River. according to Crespo. An additional 10 miles of the pipeline ieast of the Malo River was damagea by mud Oows, se ve ring the pipeline in at least eight places. Othe r sections were defonned with significant distonion and displacement of ~hove­ ground pipetine supports. The Salado Pump Station at th e confluence of the Salado and Coca Rivers was severely damaged. A landslide toppled the main storage tank , spilling 4,500 barrels of crude oil. Other damage was caused by seismic motions. A tank that stored water for fighting fires buck.led and separated from connecting lines, rendering it inoperabk. An eight-inch natural gas ~ipeline. known as the Poliducto Pipeltne. fo iJows the same route as the TransEcuadorian Pipeline, and both were destroyed in the same locations. T he New Zealand earthquake occurred a few days eartier, on March 2. Peter I. Ymev of EQE Incorporated in San Francisco presented some of the dramatic damage cauoed by th.t quake. · His visit was supported by the Eleciric Power Ro;scarcb Institute of Palo Alto, The - z- .,.,..maCN1f1P1et1 - . .n ot018fl" t.nh at • ~plant California. Registering 6.5 on the Richter scale, the earthquake was located i ~ the vicinity "of the town of Whakatane QD the coast of the Bay of Plenty, about 220 ki lo meters southeast of Auckland. Severe deformation s occurred in railways in the town of Edgecumbe. Yanev estim ated that the ground accelerati on wo uld have had to be from 0.5 to I g to cause such deformations. The acce lerations caused a stationary diesel engi ne to tip over at the Edgecumbe train statio n~ and a stationary logging truck was ovenumed oearby. The only known strong motion record was taken at the Matabina Dam and Power Station. The peak horizontal acceleration is recorded at- about 0.33 g.

Circuitous logic EDITOR: The May 7 issue of the Rt!po rii!r carried a debate on animaJ experimentation between Gary Ketchum and Dr. Boris Albini. Mr. Ket-chum took issue with Dr. Albini simply drawing. rather than justifyibg or establishing, the distinction between h umans and animals. Such 1 distinction, ofter all, helps support Dr. Albini's po.ition. Ioterc::stingly, though, Mr. Ketchum employed preci.scJy the same approach. Sounding very much like a student of philosophy, Mr. Ketchum uaened that the species distinction wu irrelevanL Rather. he pr<:fened to fOCUI on 1 hi&her te.el of geoerality (I brooder eon<:<ntric circle) of sentieocc - something anima.lJ apd humans share. • Did he establisb or jUJtify, rather thao simply usert, this new focus?

No - it merely supported Mr. Ketchum's previous position on this issue. Tbe circularity is obvious. He focuses on sentience because it ~uppons h1s position against animal upcri.mentation, which is the neccasary conclusion from the focus on sentieoce, which supports the position aaainst animal uperirneutation.

Baldus. The study, which examined more than 2,000 murder cases in Georgia, shows that defendants convicted of killing white penons received tbe deatb sentence in II per cent of the cases, but per1j>ns convicted of killing blacks received the death penalty in only I per cent of the cases. The Baldus study also found that tbe death penalty was invoked in 22 per cent of cases inv61ving black defendants and white victims; 8 per cent of cases involving white-<lcfendanu and white victims; I per cent of, cases involving black defendan\S ana black victims, and 3 per cent of tbe cases involving white defendants and black victims. Howe suggested that, based on the Baldus Study, · McCleskey more tban likely would have escaped the deatb penalty had his victim been black. As an associate profeuor of sociology at UB and tbe holder of a law degree, Howe has conducted considerable research into the emerging pattern of judicial acceptance of social science evidence as an ingredient in the legal process. A study by Howe and Murray Levine, Ph.D . , a UB psychology pr<1esso~, on "The Penetration ,pf Soctal Sc1ence mto Lc:gal Culture," was published in 1985 in Law cl Policy, a legal journal. The study cites two court decisions as benchmarks representio~ tbe time span involved in the chaogmg Pllttem of judicial thinking. Cited are Muller vs. Oregon, a U.S. Supreme Court decision iuued in 1908, and Hovey vs. Superior Court, a 1980 He wouldn't have' been executed if his victim was black, study suggests. The study, by Charles Winick., a professor of sociology at City Uoivenity of New York, and Alexander B. Smith, professor emerit us of sociology at CUNY, delves into the practice of sequestering a jury following a trial The two researchers examined the outcome of jury trials in New Yoik and Kings Counties. over a two-year period. lDe data demonstrated that there il a 16 per cent greater chance of a guilty verdict by a sequester~ jury than by a non-sequestered jury. Aside from the "fair trial" question, Howe pointed out, the findings seem to contradict a prevailing belief among lawyers that "the longer a jury deliberates, the better the charu:e for acquittal .~ A sequestered jury, she explained, il viewed as a jury that will deliberate over a relatively long period of time. Howe concedes that the "final verdict" on the effects of sequestering a jury will depend upon further resean:h. Howe and Lc:vine wrote in their 1985 resean:h report: .. We can have some confidence that members of the legal profession will learn more about social science and iU methods in the foreseeable future, and, as..U.ey l~am more, there will be more, ralli'er than less, reliance on social science. "The futu re," the report concluded, "will depend both upon the ability of social' scientists to continue to develop systematic bodies of knowledge tbat are penuasive in their own terms, and upon the ability · of members of the legal profession to come to understand the social sciences intimately. • . o : . .. ....Ja.•__ , ________ .. ____ ,.___ __ :_____ ---'- ___._ . .. ��..... 11; 1117 s.-N0.1 Roll 'em Students produce plays written at UB By CLARE 0 SHEA "Roll , roll , roll , roll, rol f.' ...

At the same ti~me. Barsadeh was studying English literature and mass communications full time at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Then he staned writing scripts. One of these, written while Barsadeh was .working for JerusaJem Co mmunicaJ tion s, wa s s ubmitted to England 's C hannel 4 as a possi ble co-production. "All of a sudden I realized that this scri pt was ~oing to be din;cted and hacked to p•eces !" Barsadeh said. "I'm a n auteur at heart - I didn't want so meont else screwing up these scripts.

The studio wasn' ideal - for s ahers, it was about a third of the size t hat Barsadeh would need for a pro~­ sional production.

UB has more training than any other police force in our area." Public Safety officers learn the ropes By FRANK BAKER ith one session cOmpleted and another one well under Office rs. W way, the SUNY Training Acaaemy for Public Safety once looked upon with sus picion. is now receiving glowing vo tes of confidence . The academy. located at the State Pohce Academ y ' " Albany, trains new Public Safety officers during a n mtcnsified 11 -wcek period . C urrentl y three U B officers James Ca puti . John Venditti, and Peter Sabio - are en rolled , and one, J1m Smith. is a training associate, a job that involves the co unseling of other officers. Two other U B Pubhc Safety officers ~.:o mpleted their training last summer . ··1 was suspicious of it at first." admitted Lee Griffin, dtrector of Public Safe ty at U B. ''bu t now I'm very pleased with it." Donald Kreger , unit chairman of Untversity Police Local 1792. agreed w1th Griffin. " I do su pport It now because it IS a )!tJOd academy," h.e said . " I was np po>ed because SUNY has had a bad lr <u.: ~ record with training and becaute ot one o f the reasons given for having the: academy. We (the uni on) were told the reason for having the academy was tn stop officers from transferring to other po lice departments. That's not ng ht." Acco rding to Bruce Mc Bride. the director of Umversity Public Safety who runs th e academy. the 25 or so officers in each class undergo 405 ho urs uf "very IOtl·nse "' training. ''The officers a re tra1ned 1n such aspects of law enforcement as patrol ope rat1 ons. inves tigati o ns. campus Situations . law, crime preventio n. and cns ts interven tion," he noted . Prior to the formation of the academy, UB's Public Safety oflicers were trained at the CentraJ Police Training Academy which serves the Buffa.Jo and surrounding area 's police departments. "This academy is much more demanding because it is 24 hours a day," said Griffin. "One of the officers who completed the training last summer, and whom we lost to the Amherst Police Department. said he thought this training facility was much harder than the local one." "M ost officers don 't like to go to Albany," observed Kreger. "It's eight hours of classroom work per day and I I weeks away from home. While it 's not as physically demanding as the State Police Academy, mentall y it is tougher." (It s hould be noted that while SUNY's train ing academy lS located on the sa me grounds as the State Police Academy, they are separate entities.) Added Griffin: "SUNY requires 60 hours of college credit for their officers. Only the Suffolk a nd Wes tchester Police Departments have the same requirements. The local departments only require a GED (High School Graduation Equivalency Degree) for their officers and they even have openbook tests on the use of deadly physical force . That I can~ believe." Griffin emphasized that "UB has more training than any other police force in the area ... "QUF 19fficers also train becween se~ter{ in water safety, first aid, and the usc of deadly physical force ," said Griffin! Since man y Pubhc Safety officers move on t o various local police departments and still others retire, the demand for new officers is copistentl y high. That , coupled with th<.fact that each new recruit must, by law. attend the academy, means a large back.log of candidates lOr the facility_ - ·.. The training academ y in Albany was originally formed to provide better traini ng for Public Safety officers and to get rid of the backlog of officers who needed ·' training," explained McBride. 0 fficer s mu s t be se nt to the academy within their first year on the job, said Griffin. "They arc on probation for that year and can't work alone Uiltil their training has been co mpleted . Once their academy training has concluded. the y must be field trained by an officer for an additional six weeks," Griffin stated. He also added that if a n officer fails either pan of the training, he or she is subject to a severe penaJty. "They will be terminated if tl.ey fail t o co mplete either part of their training," said Griffin . .. But we haven't had to do that as often in the last few years because we have had a bigger and better crop of officers to choose .'rom. The applicants are more qualified now ... McBride. w.ho has hts doctorate if1 cri minal justice and was a police officer himself, believes the academy is ht aded in the right direction. · .. All of our trainers were impr~sed with the first group of gradua tes. Once we get rid of the backlo~ we have. we will have just one sessto n per year. That will make it much easier for everyone." ... like the academy because ic is headed in the right direct io n," said Kreger. .. The training is better than we e.pccted . There are State Police and Public Safety instructors, as well as miscellaneous personnel such as lawyers. "It's a good operation . We have to make it the best possi ble acade my that it can be." he concluded . D School toasts its anniversary with 'Management Wine' By SUE WUETCHER T he idea was to develop "a bit of gimmickry" for the School of Management'S 60th anniversary, says John H. Shellum, assistant dean for external affairs. And what better way than to join forces with one of New York State's most offbeat entrepreneurs, Walter S. Taylor, owner of Bully Hill Vineyards. The collaboration between the school a'l.d the vintner who developed such lighthearted libations as " Space Shuttle" red , white, and rose wines, and "Love My Goat" red wine has produced the equally memorable "School of Management ~Oth anniversary" . white and red wines. These bottles of regular-vintage Bully Hill table wine bear special labels designed in honor of the school's 60th Anniversary. The wine was unveiled at the school's anniversary · dinner April II. · " I've never seen people leave an event before with empty bottles ·of "'ine as souvenirs," says Shellum, noting that the wines attracted much atteoti,oo. .. ::Jil J Even UB President Steven B. Sample, who offered the University's welcome at the dinner, jokingly congratulated the "individual who had tbe perspective 60 years ago to bottle this fine wine." Shellum says the groundwork for the annivenary wine was laid by Burton Notarius, a member of the board of directors of the School of Management Alumni Association and owner of Premier Center liquors. who contacted Taylor .about bottling a private label wine for th e school's anniversary . Although Tulor. an accomplished anist, designs most of the private labels himself, he declined to design the School of Management label due to personal commitments. However, he offered to bottle the wine if the school provided tbe labels, Shellum says. The labels were Sterling c_ Sommer Inc., of the school's off<ampus printing. and feature artwork by Eggertsville artist Patricia Schneider. The front label highlights a reproduction of a watercolor of Jacobs Management Ce nter. and the back label includes a smaller black-and-white reproduction of a watercolor of Crosby Hail, home of the school until 1985. Both watercolors originally had been commissione4 from Schneider by the School of Management and presented as gifts to Dean Joseph A. Aluuo, Sbellum says. n addition to the watercolor, the top half of the back label includes background information on the School of Management. But the bottom half of the label is uniq uel y Bully Hill. The internationally known red circle-andslash symbol tops a sketch of an oldtime roadster, a wine glass and a bottle. The graphic is accompanied by the warning that "even though wine has been used by humans for over 4,253 years, irresponsible use of this product could be harmful." The label also refers to Taylor's welldocumented legal problems with the Coca-Cola Co., noting that "the anwork on our labels is the work of the owner of Bully Hill who cannot legibly use his name or heritage on these designs because of a U.S. Federal Court action." Coca-Cola bought the family-owned Taylor Wine Co.' in 1977 and has prevented Walter Taylor from using the Taylor name in connection with Bully Hill. The private-label agreement with Bully Hill required the School of Management to -order a minimum of 70 cases of each type of wine, Sbellum says. The school bas been selling the wine to its faculty and staff. "We think: it's a nice thing for people associated with the school to have," be says, aJtliou~ State liquor laws prevent school offiCials .from scllin•.tbe. wine to outaide parties, ini:lud · i'loiiunni.

We took him home from the hospital to love and care for as one additional member of a family that-already numbered six: four children; my husband, also named Bob, and myseH. . Our new son would leam to take his lumps along with the rest of the brood! We all soon found that he was much more capable than we had been led to expect. Special Olympics has played a major role in Bob's development. He has competed since 1980. He has teamed <l spirit of healthy compet~ion and the reward of knowing he did his best. even though his best may not have meant first place. Our family has watched with pride and a feeling of accomplishment as h& collected his treasured mementos. In this article, 1 hope to capture the feelings of other Buffalo families with a Special Olympian who has been involved in the Games for some time . The first person I asked to cOmment was our son.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The UB Stadium. an outdoor track and field complex located in the area surrounded by Audubon Pky., Augspurger Rd., and Flint Entrance, is hosting its second Empire State Games competition. The stadium design utilizes the "bowl and berm" technique of scooping out the center .of an existing plateau of earth. The synthetic playing field is encircled by an eight-lane, 440-meter synthetic surface running track. The 4,000 spectator seats are built into the berm of the bowl-shaped structure, with expansion possibilities of up to 40,000 seats. The track's infield will be usea for events such as high jump; triple jump, long jump, and pole vault. Throwing events such as discus. javelin, shot put, and hammer throw will be held on adjacent grass fields outside the immediate stadium but within the same fenced-in compound. THE RECREATION AND ATHLETIC:> COMPLEX (RAG). featuring more than 200.000 square feet of floor space and housing facilities thai 1nclude an Olympic"-size pool and an 1mpressive assortment of playing courts, will host events ranging from water polo, swimming and diving, to judo. The massive facility, built in two stages. is located at the eastern end of the Amherst Campus's "Academic Spine" and ranks among the finest of its kind on any university campus. DeSigned for physical recreation, relaxation, and physical development, the RAG serves the combined needs of infercollegiate and other amateur sporting events as wen-as intramural, club. and Individual sports. Construct1on of Phase I of the E4 RAG, the south wing, was completed in March, 1982. This part of the facility is \lesigned primarilyior court sports and indoor track, and includes locker roqms, training rooms, offices. equipment" checkout facilities, and six . handball a:i'idiiicquetball courts. w•"k on Phase II, the-north wing, was completed in April 1985. It . houses the natatorium, gymnastics faCilities, a dance studio and wrestling room, as well as academic space for the University's intramural and recreation programs and · required physical education cours_:s. ALUMN I ARENA, THE FIVE-STORY field house th at is' the focal point of the south wing, is named in honor the more than 100,000 men and women who have graduated from the University since it was founded in 1846. Jn rec09nizes their contributions both to the University and to society. The 48,000-square-foot arena floor offers a competition volleyball court supplemented by three additional volleyball courts. three basketball courts 1ncluding a competition court. and eight badminton courts. All are surrounded by an eight-lane. 200meter running track considered to be one of the finest indoor ovals in this part of the country. The arena's modern design features a hardwood playing surface that is the largest "free-floating" wooden floor in the world.

"For 95 per el9nt of the participants, this is the biggest sporting event they'll ever go to." Abernethy noted. Because the Empire State Games are tailored to the Olympic format, they can act as a stepping stone tor many athletes. " If we do our jo.l> well, the U.S. Olympic Committee will acquire some very good athletes from us." Abernethy said. Wrestler Jeff Blatnick and baske)ball player Chris Mul-lin both struck gold at the -1984 Olympics aher participating in five of the previous Empire State Games. Nearly 25 per cent of the 1984 men's Olyfl)pic canoe /kayak team was composed of former Empire State Games participants. Further testimony to the gualfty of the athletes can be found : fwo of this year's National Basketball Assoc iation first-round draM p ic ks~o, ' Pearl Washington and Walter BerrY\ were participants in th e t 985 Games; and heavyweight boxing sensation Mike Tyson won the gold medal at lhe t984 Games.

"They altributed the success of the ... Canadian team to the network of · amateur athletic competitions held throughout Canada." Wolfe recalled. "So I thOught to myself, if they can do it in Canada. why can't we do it here in New York State?" And the concept of the Empire State Games was born. The New York State Com m issio~ on Sports and Winter Olympics, a standmg committee whose primary obtective at that trme·was to plan the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, also was asked by then-Governor Hugh Carey to look mto the feasrbility of mountmg the Emlme State Games. Commrssron members met rn Febouary, 1977, to discuss the Games concepl at the house of the president of Plattsburgh College. Margaret Grossberger. a commrssron member. 1eca11s that brarnstormrng session: "II was a cold. wmtry day rn February of 1977 when we gal logelher 10 drscuss the formrng of the games. Some of the people presenl were at first a little skeptrcal about the whole th ing. But. as the meeting proceeded. it seemed to be more and more possible. The rdea fUSI took off that night. It's a mght I'll never forget. " Dr Ernest Rangazas, director of athletics at the State University · College at Plaltsburgh, was instrumental in selling up the games. Rangazas was the one who suggested the event be called the "Empire State Games." The name was well received and it stuck. The concept gained momentum when Carey took a strong interest in the games. he first Empire State Games were finally held in August of 1978 in Syracuse, also the site bf the next six games. . .. ''The games were originally set up . to move to a different venue each year, but no oQe had the kind ot facilities and accommodations that Syracuse had to house and feed so many athletes at one time," said Mike Abernethy, qxecutive director of the Empire State Games. "Syracuse didn't want to lose them once they got them. The Games did a lot for Syracuse." This year's games, as well as last year's. are based at the State University at Buffa lo and other locations in Western New York. "The idea of moving the games to Buffalo started in 198 f. A lot of planning was involved," said Abernethy. Aside from the inllux of dollars and commerce that the games will generate. Abernethy belerves the games will have a great rm pact on UB by making it the exclusive focus of State-wide attention for the week. "The people of Western New York have had the opportun ity to witness the events fi rsthand, something that they had never done before," said Abernethy. The games themselves have changed in their brief, eight-year history. For instance, the first games in 1978 featured an Open Division· and T a Scholastic Division only. In 1981 , a Masters Division was added to enable older participants to compete against their peers. About 10 events have been added to the Scholastic Division since the first games in 1978 and five have been ac;tded to the Open Division. Though they 've changed through the years. the Games have survived. In fact , the event has been emulated by 21 other slates. Abernethy noted. "Many people 1nought the whole · idea of the Games would fall through, bu1 ~ didn't," he noted. " We 're very proud of how well the Games have done. The Games are very good for o the people of New Yark State." UB's Team Steering committee worked for months F or the second consecutive year, UB's Empire State Games Steering Committee has applied a "total team effort" to preparing for th e summer's events.

Wagner ·applauded committee members and their entire staffs, · noting, "this was clearly a Universitywide effort." The steering committee operated on two levels: first . each member 'was in charge of one aspect of the preparation: and th~n the group as a whole met with Wagner and Schmitt to c oordinate interaction of all groups. This system worked so well for the committee at last summer's 1985 Games that Empire State Games E:xecutive Director Micha~l Abernethy called them ·:the best Games ever." For the last two summers, Buffalo and the University have benefitted greatly as hosts to the Empire State Games. and it is hoped they will return here after a two-year term in Syracuse.

Western New York can measure its gain by an economic boost for businesses which figu res to reach $4.5 million during the five days the games are here. o respond to other UB locations. EMTs on duty at a location will have a trauma box and an oxygen unit. Trauma boxes are the "general _store" of emergency medical care they contain material that aids in treating an injury, even the most serious, until the ambulance arrives. If a medical problem needs attention from a physician, corps members will transport patients to the UniversitY Health Sefvice office located fn Porter Quadrangle of the Ellicott Complex where doctors and nurses,are on duty.

"The only thing that's normal about weather is its high variability," commented Donald Wuerch, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service at ttie Buffalo International Airport. In other words, the only thing that is consistent about weather is its inconsistency. Predicting weather conditions. according to 'wuerch, is an iffy and nebulous proposition. For the we~k of the games. Wuerch said, " It's generally a warm part of the August month. Based on past records, precipitation during the period usually comes in the form of scattered showers and thunderstorms at the rate of one out of every three days. "This amounts to a probability of about 30 to 35 per cent ol precopotation every day. We also have a good deal of -sunshine. It's safe to poont out. loa," Wuerch continued. "that the Buffalo area is air conditioned in the afternoon by the Great Lakes' sea breezes and that makes it cooler than surrounding . areas away from the Great Lakes." he meterologist said the average high for Games week is 79 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low. 60 .degrees Fahrenheit. The days consist of 59 per cent sunshine on average with an average wind of 9.9 miles per hour prevailing out of the southwest. he points out. · The record high temperature for lhe week is 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which occurred on Aug. 9, t 9t 4. On the other hand, the record low for the period was a chilly 4 7 degrees Fahrenheit on Aug. 7. 1948. Generally, the weather conditions should be good for the Games. The temperature woll probably range between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a 30 to 35 per cent chance of rain each day throughout the entire week of competition. One thing is certain about predicting weather: you can't predict the u.npredictable. o T �What a week . it Was! The 1985 ·Games were memorable he· 1985 Empire State Games. What a week that was! From the opening ceremonies when the Governor greeted 16,000 cheering individuals in the pristine sfadium; to the 6,000 exuberant athletes kick -dancing to the State's unofficial anthem, "New York. New York;" to the hordes of expectant fans streaming into parking lots and event sites;· to the hustled observers filling the ble.achers in the pool/diving chamber to watch the · graceful practiced falls of lithe bodies off a 10-meter platform; \O IRe grim determination of runners, shiny with sweat, rounding thr; curves of the stadium; to the general aura of celebration and camaraderie with which the campus overflowed - a thousand images reflected the dreams of glory that drove the athletes on. The Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce estimated that the Gafni'S attracted more than 40,000 out-of/ town visitors and injected about $1 million a day j nto the Western New York economy. TM Chamber estimated that more than 100,000 people saw the games. doubling Syracuse's best attendance of 50,000 in 1984. The Western New York weather cooperated by providing clear skies every day and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. The sunny, intense heat prompted some outdoor spectators to employ Jawn chairs, beach umbrellas, thermos bottles. and other weekend outing paraphernalia. Many spectators, looking more like picnickers, were sprinkled across the . grassy hills around the new stadium. Herb Mots. head coach of the Western Team, summed up his impressions by saying, "The city and UB have responded well to the challenge. The Games themselves were the culmination of a dream that I've had for Buffalo .. " I am completely satisfied with the caliber of competition that we h.ad here," he said. "These athletes are top-notch and the best in the State and some will go to be Olympians." The coach made a long-term projection for the future: "The fact that the Games were so successful here is a strong indication of how well we can handle a major, amateur, athletic competition," he said. "I believe we can host any event up to and including the National Sports Fesli~a l' and the PanAmerican Games." Mary Seiler. winner of a bronze medal in judo. spoke for many of the athletes.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

D. , associate professor in biochemistry at UB. While on sabbatical at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, Rekosh studied how the proteins on the outer shell or "envelope" of the AIDS virus operate. He worked on the project with his wife, MarieLouise Hammarskjold, M.D., Ph.D .. who is now ass1 stant professor of microbiology here. The coup le is applying for a grant to continue the work at UB. The two studied the envelope protein of the AIDS virus and the way it binds to white blood cells (lymphocytes). If that process is understood, it may be possible to develop a vaccine that prevents that binding, they said . " If the vi ru s can't attach to the cell. it can't get into the cell. and you w_on't get the infec tion . •• Hammarskjold explained. The envelope protein on the outside of the virus will recognize and bind with o nly cenain proteins. Recently it has been found. that the virus can invade brain cells and cause symptoms, but generally. it's the T -4 lymphocytes that are attacked. Rekosh said. The T -4 lymphocytes arc th e cells of the immune system that help other cells. called 8-cells. make antibodies . When the T -4 lymphocytes are invaded. the body can't make enough antibodies. wcakenmg the body's defenses against o ther infections. The AIDS patient develops "op portunistic" infections that prove fatal. In thei r work. Rck os h and Hammarskjold have taken a gene out of thl' AIDS virus and put it into an "expression vector." An exp ression vector allows foreign proteins to be made where they normally would not be made. The researchers introduce their ex.p(tssion vector into animal cells rather than into bacteria. · "You use the cell as a factory to Da•ld Rekom and Marle-Loul•e Hammarskjold produce the protein you want , .. Hammarskjold explained . I "If the virus can't attach to the cell, it can't get into it, and you won't get the infection." - HAMMARSKJOLD nstead of manufacturing a whole virus, the cell merely manufactures a protein from the virus. There are many advantages to this. First , researchers can wor~ mo re easily because there's no infectious virus around. Hammarskjold said that people working with the virus must take precautions even though it probat:Hy would take an injc:ction. not just an. open cut, to become infected with it. The manufacture of envelope protein has been accomplished by most other groups in bacteria rather than in animal cells. But envelope protein made in bacteria doesil '1. behave nor- • See AIDS, page 2 �July 31 , 1886 Summer No. 3 AIDS From page 1 mally, Rek osh not ed, and it is not useful for many types of studies. '' We've been able to produce a lot of protein. a nd we 've been able to show that it's extremel y similar, if no t identical. to the protei n mad e by th e actual vi ral infectio n," Rekos h sa id . " It loo ks th e sa me. and in a co upl e of diffe rent tests. it acts th e sa me." In Sweden. resea rchers are testing to see if th e protein bi nds to th e T -4 ce ll.

The two researchers will be able to continue t heir work unfunded· for a short time, but in the long run, they need money. Hammarskjold said . They're applying for .a grant which they hope will come through in November. ..The research we're doing, tlie questions we're asking, and the technology we're using are as good as is being done anywhere, " Rek.osh said ... We're at the forefront. ul've never had any trouble getting grants for research I thought was important,· so rm optimistic we11 get funded." IDS is important because of its impact on our society, he said. It A encompasses mOral , soc1al, political, and educationaJ iss ues. Sexuality in our society ~ changed a great deal by herpes , and 'that condition .isn't even lethaJ. he noted . "AIDS is the best th ing that could have happened as far as the fundamentalists are concerned ," .he said. "'If the disease had cp me into pregnant.women instead of homosexuals, society would have seen it as a threat and done something ~bout it. The gay community is very embittered about that."

Using the who le envelope p rotei n, enhc r in a vacc inia v1 ru s or by llse lf, is a naive app roach to vaccine deve lopment , Rckosh said . Pa n s of a protem . rather tha n a whole pro tein. will p robab ly be needed, he argues. and scientists must understand which parts to use. It's going to take sc1ence. not JUSt technol o gy. to deve lop an AIDS vaccine . "For a good vacci ne. you ha ve to understa nd how the en\lelope protein he lps the virus get into the cell that 's the basis of the sc1ence we want to look at." he explained . "Y o u ca n make a beuer vacc ine if yo u know how the vir us interacts with its host cell." Hammarskjo ld agreed . "Even if a vaccine was developed to morrow. the sc ientific question of how the protein work s would still be there." Rekos h added . "Not only is it a medical problem . but it 's a scientific problem . and it's as inte resting as any other. " Rekosh, who is co-di rec tor of UB's Ce nter for Applied Mo lec ular Biology and Immunology (CAM BI ). hopes to be able to link hi s basic research to eli meal researc h starting at CAM 81. AIDS, or to quarantine even people who are "antibody positive." · A person with antibodies may or may not ever get the disease, and, in a couple of cases, people seem to have cured themselves, Rekosh said. And even if a person has the disease, there's clear evidence that he's not infectious through· normal , casual contact, even with close famil y members. " I'm against usin~ the AIDS antibody test to discriminate against pco!l ple." he stated . Because it touches on topics such as drug addiction and seX the AIDS issue " hits western society-at.! its weak spots," Rekosh said. "It makes us deal with things we don' want to face . Since it has spread to prostitutes, we're going to have nice, ord inary middle-<:lass men bringing it home to their wives. But nobody wants to admit this goes on ... · · He emphasized that one of the keys to battling AIDS is education.

"I think everybQ.dy agrees wnh that.• 0 While the Swedes are " a hundred light-years ahead " of Americans when it comes to dealing with AIDS in a strai~htforward manner, even they have political problems, Rekosh said . An example is the way AIDS is spread a mong drug addicts. The prob· lem is much worse in Stockholm than it is 500 miles away iu the city of Mal mo. People in Stockholm can' purchase syringes legally, but those in Malmo can cross the channel and buy th em legally in nearby Denmark. Government official s d o n 't want to make it legal to purchase syringes fo r fear it will p ro mote drug addiction , Ham marskjold poi nted out, and right now d rug ad d ict ion is a bigger pro blem than A IDS. O ther diseases arou nd the worl d affect more people th a n A IDS does. Rekos h ad mits. Schis tosom iasis, which he is also doing wo rk on, affects 500 million people, mostly in Africa and So uth America. The ram ine in Eth io pia is ki ll ing mo re peop le than A IDS is. " Bu t peop le in the western wo rld are not used to people dyi ng next door. left and right.'' he said . . Rekosh cited statistics p resented at an A IDS co nfe rence in Paris by J . W. Curran, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control. If there is no change in social habits or treatments that are aVailable, by 1991 there will be 174 .000 peopl e in the U.S . with AIDS requiring care. In adduion. 179.000 will have already d1ed . Rek os h related a prediction from Wigzell of Sweden: .. If our resea rch efforts ca use a vaccine to be found one day sooner, it will save at least 500 lives." 0 Hypersonics course to attract engineers from around U.S. fou r-da y short co urse o n the fundamentals of hypersonic aeronauti ca l engineering, ","ill be o ffered at U B starung August 19 .

In what was looked on as an event of sign111cant Importance. the Iroquois Nationals regained their status as international competitors after a 100-yeel exile. The Nationals. founded ·in 1983 by Olen Lyons Jr.. Riel< HIR. and Wesl Patterson. played the Ausllalian. U.S.. and English national teams. The 08'M8 _., Intensely competitive and were highfighted by a dazzling array of shots, ""'-passing, and thunderous body checf<s. The national prid8 of all four teams was evident throughout, but When the dust had settled, good sportsmanship and mutual admiration prJ~Ied. a crosse: More thari just a game for the Iroquois ,, By SIIAWI CAlEY t would be appropriate to say that the Iro· quois Nationals lacrosse team lost the batUcs but finally won the war. The battles took place on June 14, IS, and 16 at UB's Rotary F~eld . The Australian, U.S., and English national teams all walked away with hard-fought victories over the Iroquois. But for tbc Iroquois, winning or losing was not the major issue; the games gave the Iroquois a chance to reclaim a sport they had given to the world over two centuries ago. The 11amcs marked a return to sanctioned international competition by the Iroquois - 100 yean after being exiled for alleged "profession· alism." This exhibition series coincided with the World Championship in field lacrosse held in Toronto this summer. The Iroquois Nationals had hoped t \ y in those Toronto games, but their appli· I cation to the International Lacrosse Federation was not accepted. So the Iroquois decided to host their own games. Buffalo was selected as a site because lacrosse is growing in this area, and it is central to the Iroquois players. . Lacrosse was introduced by Native Americans to European explorers in the 17th century. Three hundred yean later, however, the game has come to be associated with affluent white men and women who take it from prep school to college to amateur club. Conversely, during the last SO years, the Iroquois - a centuries-old confederacy of the Onondaga, Mobawalc, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora Nations, most of whose people live on reservations in upstate New Y.ork and southeastern Canada - have been relegated to playing a scaled-<lown version called box lacrosse. In botb games the object is to catch and carry the five-ounce ball in a woven basket at the end of a stick and then burl it into the goal. When Oren Lyons, Jr., a faithkeeper of the Onondaga Nation and a member of the Turtle Clan, as well as an associate professor in the American Studies department at UB, speaks of lacrosse, it becomes clear that to the Iroquois lacrosse is much more than a game to be played . "Lacrosse is our leg"9'. It is a part of our cui· ture. Every summer stnce time tmmemorial our people have played lacrosse," Lyons said. ·Lyons, chairman of thC Nationals, speaks on .the system that hu made the sport somewhat �inaccessible to the peol'le who love it the most. "Tbis team (the NatiOnals) is so important because it's a place where we can prove ourselves without all those rules being ja.nuned at us." Lyons continues, ~When they say you've got to be an American college boy to be an AUAmerican at lacr~. that's a subtle way of controllin~ and directing us." Lyons should know. He llimself was an All-American goalie at Syracuse University. · It was Lyons, who in 1983, with the help of Rick Hill, an instructor in the same department at UB, and Wes Patterson, a Tuscarora lacrosse stick maker, created the Iroquois Nationals. For the Iroquois people, lacrosse is something they can rAlly bellind, and it is something that can give them hope for the future. ~It is a tremendous unifying force. Everyone on the reservation is behind the team," Lyons stated. Lyons feels lacrosse can raise the level of public coDS<;iousness of the Iroquois as a people. But, most importantly, he hopes lacrosse can teach lrbquois youngsters bow to lead a good life. ~Lacrosse is life. It is a stick and a ball, but most importantly, an athlete competing and doing the best be can do. Tlie bnly losers are the ones who llllow inside that they dido l give it everything they bad." Lyons notes "The problems of drugs bas not spared the yo~ng Indians. Lacrpsse could help these youths go back to our traditions of clean living .~ It is the importance of lacrosse to the Iroquois that ba cnmled the Nationals to overcome many obstacles in fielding a team that can be competitive with other world lacrosse. powers. They are UDable to practice as often as other national teams because the Iroquois athletes are scattered, aod getting them together for a weeknight pract.ice is difficuJt. Some are ironworkers who often have ·to drive from a construction site in New York City. And, invariably, there is the problem of funds. ~Money bas always been a problem. We've managed by almost superhuman efforts to gather funds from a variety of sources, but always priv:ate soun:cs,"·Lyons said. t w~ controversy o~er money that originally led to the Iroquois being banned from the ICanadian cba1npionships, which they had been winning, and soon afterward from all international competititon. They were judged, in 1880, to be professionals because they allegedly took money to play. The allegations were misleading. Any money accepted by the IroquoiS was used to pay for trips to tournaments, something which was unnecessary for the wealthy white teams. ot Lyons feels the games in Buffalo have assured a revival of the Iroquois as international competitors. The Australians have promised the Iroquois a in the in.temational Lacrosse Fed- tterth eration Tournament in 1990. The tournament, which is held every four years, will be hosted by the Australians. From now until then, Lyons and the Iroquois plan to keep working, entering as many toumamen.ts as they can in order to be as sharp as possible for the big one in 1990. Lyons feels it is important for the Iroquois to continue to promote the sport itself. "The Federation does not understand that lacrosse is an integral part of our communities; that we livw:, breathe, and die with lacrosse in the Six Nations. They don_\ understand so we're educa1ing them and we!re promoting the game. We believe the game should be played in the world Olympics and in many foreign countries. It's our game, it"s our gift to humanity; and we should promote iL"' Lacrosse's popularity is on the rise; last May's . National Collegiate Athletic Association cb~ pionship game drew a crowd of 35,000 and in addition to the traditional lacrosse powerhouses like Wales, Scotland, England, Canada, Australia "and the United States, Czechoslovakia, Japan. and France have shown increased interest. Rick Hill cited these facts and added that, "I believe lacrosse will be the next major sport." One thing is certain; no matter what the futu~ has in store for lacrosse, the sport will alwa ; ~ hold a magical grasp on the Iroquoi s. Lyons say> it best: ..If everyone else laid down their sticks· and forgot about~sse, we would continue ro play." 0 �July 31, 11186 Sum- No.3 tenure· denial Sharon Leder of Women's Studies By RITA A. HILGENDOAFF haron Leder is an assistant S professor in Women's .Studi.es; she is alsq_ grad uate studies director for the program. She has a future book to her credit and has been nominated for the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, yet she has been· denied tenure and is curre ntly undergoin g a seve nth-ye ar review. " I believe that I am being denied tenure because of lack of knowledge about Women's Studies as a scholarl y field." said Leder. Leder also is questionin~ the proce~s for reco nsiderati on. Currently her own case has stopped at the provost's office, which she claims is contrary to normal procedure for a seventh-year review. She also claims that criteria for tenure are being .. applied more rigidly'' in her case than in others. Originally, Leder was denied te nure during her siXth-year review ..due to a lack of scholarly publications," by a vote by the President's Review Board of two in favor of tenu re. four against, and two abstentions. The a bstentions, Leder claims, .. were because two members of the PRB felt that they didn't have enough knowledge about Women's Studies as a scholarly field ." According to Leder, .Provost William R. Greiner counted those abstentions as negative votes. and therefore L~der did not receive promotion or tenure. "If the Provost had . looked at the abstentions positively, he would have had a strong case for granting tenure," said Leder. As a result, she has ftled a grievance with her union about th at· actio n. According to Qennis Malone, professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departmen\ and fo rmer chair of the Faculty Senate .... there are no set rules in Robert's Rules of Order for counting abstentions." S oon after that decision was passed, Leder received a contract with Greenwood Press for the book Lan- guage of Exclusion:· The Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Christina Rosselli, which made her eligible for reconsideration. She Is going through the process with the support of her students, her dean, and cha1r. The PRB has again denied tenure, this time because " the PRB feels ~hat Greenwood Press is not scholarly enough," said Leder. The Provost has decided not to forwa rd her case to UB President Steven B. Sample, who would have the authority to ovenurn the decision. Outside these. channels, . Leder js appealing her case to the president via letters from studen ts, faculty, and herself. Michael Frisch, chai r of the American Studies Depanment, has written a letter to prove that Gree nwo od Press is scholarly and credible. He states: .. Greenwood is a respected press, though not a major one. across the full range of publishing. It is, however, a . very major press in our field of Ameri- can Studies, a fact that the P RB could not be expected to have known. It was one of the ftnt to publish a monosraph series focused o n in te rd isci p linary American Studies, at a time . when major university presses rarely recognized such work." Leder..feels that there bas been "more stringent" criteria applied to her case. "There have been professors who have been granted tenure with much fewer publit;ations than I have," she said. "In a new field , there are ways of proving scholarly ability other than publications. For instance, building a field professionally, building a field on campus, and making innovations in currtculum development. l n my case I have demonstrated outstanding abilities in those areas and have been punished." Judith E. Albino, assoeiate provost, maintains that "While there are general criteria that apply to all cases, naturally there. are differ~oces in the achievements considered in each . case. We need to ev&!uate their work in their disciplines, as well as scholarship according to the more general standards." · Aside from q"liestioning the PRB's lack of knowledge Of her field and the criteria they used in judging it, Leder also questions the provosCs ability to stop a reconsideratton. She asked the . president in a recent leiter: " Does the provost have the right to suspend a seventh-year review before the dossier reaches yoll for a final recommendation?" A l bino said there are no set procedures for reco nsiderations. u Reco nsid e ra t io n is an exc~ p tional process. It's rare enough t~ say that there is no one way procedurally to handle thcin. They are very ind ividual." She added "reconsideration can be stopped at any point in the process. In this case, it stopped with the provost." • Leder said she disagrees that there is no proced ure 1for reconsi deration. "Th.ere is .a l<ll!Jihistory on this campus for a seventh-ye.a r rC:view. This is the fint tiine, to my k.nowledge, that it has stopped at the provost's office. Why· is this procedure stopped in the case of a Women's Studies professor'! I know the provost will maintain that it's up to him to recommend reconsideration, but by stopping it at his level, he's stopping it midstream. " Aceordiog to Albino, sli~ recalls there have been no more than three· applications for reconsideration in' the' past three years. In one particular case, the process stopped with the dean of that penon's faculty. tkTh~~~~n~n om::.m~~~or~~r~ appeal. The case has been advanced to the Chancellor's "R:eview Board . If tenure is denied at this level, Leder's contract will ellp~ on August 31. " We believe that it's important that any candidate for promotion receive a f~nd fair review and that reconsideration at any level is one evidence th at this university is willing to do that," commented Albino. 0 Faculty-industry projects attract $181,000 in grants By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he receipt of five grants total· T ing S 181,000 "speaks to the growing relationship between the University facult y and local industry," according to Edward M . Zablocki, coordinator of external and industrial relations in the Office of the Vice President for Sponsored Programs. U 8 researchers received the grants from the New York State Science and Technology Foundation's Research and Development Grants Program. A New York State business with a commercial interest in the research must apply as co-sponsor. · The company has to contribute some sort of in-kind services such as materials or time. "This is not a freebie on the compaoy's part," Zabloeki pointed out. "But we still got five companies that were willing to participate because 'the research has value to them . There's some application to their product."' The five businesses, all local companies. range from well-established corporate giants to start-up companies, he said. The grants are: • $43,000 to Vladimir Hlavacek, .. professor of chemical engineering at UB. The sponsor ~ompany is Advanced Refractory Technolog1es, which manufactures ultrafine ceramic powders. The project is called "Synthesis of Nitride, Boronitride and Carbonitride Materials by Filtration Combustion Technology." Hlavacek's .. filtration combustion•• method can be used to create superhard ceramics faster and more efficiently, resulting in a purer product. • $40.000 to Ed mund A.

The sponsor company is ONY, Inc., located in UB's business .. incubator" which is managed by the Western New York Technology Development Corp. (TDC). The project is called "Clinical Testing of Extracted Cow Lung Lipid: An Effective 'Prevention for Newborn Hyaline Membrane Disease." The research will attempt to determine whether there are any toxic effects from a drug used to prevent hyaline membrane disease. The disease results in respiratory failure in premature infants. The drug, an extract from cows' lungs, replaces the lung surfactant which is mtssiog from the lining of the premature infants' lungs. The toxicity testing is needed to fulftll FDA requirements. • $36,000 to Harry K. . Slocum, assistant . professor of pharmacology with the Roswell Park Division of the UB Graduate School: The sponsor company is Buffalo Biotech. The project title is "Feature Specific Assessment of Cellular Proliferation for Prediction of Chemotherapeutic Responsiveness of Human Tumors." The ultimate goal of the resarch is to produce a test that will identify which chemotherapy agents are most likely to work for an individual patient before those drugs are administered . • $34,000 to A. Scott Weber, assistant professor of civil engineering at UB. The sponsor company is Occidental Chemical Corp. The project is called "Enhanced Biodegradation of Chlorinated Organics." The purpose of the research· is to assess whether bacterial strairis that were isolated at Occidental Chemical's Hyde Park Landfill can be used as supplemental cultures lO break down chlorinated organisms at hazardous waste sites. • $28,000 to W.A.

As a resultuf that pro· ject, the Falconer plant was able to reduce its repair aod scrap rate by 25 per cent. . Scheduled to start up in July, the manufacturing cell involves a major chimge in the layout of the plant. UB researchers are assisting the company in finding the best way to relocate the machinery for maximum productivity. "This is a company-wide kind of productivity improvement . " Kleiner said . "In an assembly line, the ·com pany would have different machines in a line. geared toward producing large quantities of parts: But in a manufacturing cell. the company will have the nexibility to produce small quantities of r.ans as efficiently as large quantities. •• Sharpe also said that "a vital part of the cell's s u ~s is training." 8 engineers are assisting '"the co any in training machine aperato to use more than qne machine to · ovide the flexibility needed to a mmodate varying demands for ball arings. The UB productivity team is assisting com pany management with developing instructions and guides for each machine in an attempt to improve the efficiency, even wi th quick changeov,trs. "The Universi ty at Buffalo research team, by standardizing our practices and procedures and then workang with us on training. is provi ding the assista nce we need to make certain the cell meets our g·oals. ··said S harpe. Western New York Economic Corporation (WNYT heDevelopment EDC) identified TRW as one of 35 mature industries in the area that need help in order to compete against foreign companies. The progr~m at tqe Jamestown plant began. tn November 1985 jlDder ~ twoyear grant from various sources. Coor-· dinated through Jamestown Community College, the grant to UB is $200,000 and is funded by WNYEDC, the City of Jamestown, aod tbe Chautauqua County Industrial Delelopment .Agency. Bearings manufacturing is a mature industry. Basic techniq ues were developed in the late 19th century for bicycle manufacture and have been refined over the years without major revolu• tions in technology. TRW Bearings has a stable, highly skilled workforce and a Adrian ~del,.n (left), TR W'a ,.,_ger of tralnlllfl, "with UB grad atudent Tim . Wllfle. • good knowledge of customer requir~ ments. \ Like many U.S. companies, T RW has felt a prqfit squeeze from foreign competition, which is producing many qualuy products at reasonable prices. The Falconer plant produces very high quality beanngs for the aircraft engi ne industry. The Jamestown plant produces low-volume lines of bel~Dirgs, mosliy for trucks, and the first stages of bearings for the Falconer plant. TRW recently transferred the highvo lume automotive bearing lines to other plants. "With the loss of the high volume line and increased foreign competition. both on price ·and quality, a classic profitability squeeze · is being felt." Drury said . "Lower profits lead to a reduct ion in indi rect expe nd itu res, which means less time and money available for the process improvements which would increase profitability." Other companies m Western New York with these problems have closed / plants or moved their operations out of the area, but the goal of this project is to maintain TR W"s eompetiti..,ness and thereby enable the company to remain in the community. TRW has p4rchased some new equipment, but a complete c hangeover to new machinery is out of the question. "The challenge is to increase profitability through increases in productivity without requiring large capital investment," Drury said. · As a result of a task analysis performed before approval of the grant, TRW had begun to investigate the manufacturing tell concept. With tbe grant, UB engineers are assisting In tbe implementation. · Using modern theories of er,onomics, UB researchers are analyzmg the way workers do certain tasks with t}le · idea of improving productivity. " What is being performed is the redesign of the human-machine system to reduce _the mismatch between operator and system," Drury said. Drury believes that ergonomics, engineering, and . management conc:epts could be applied to improving productivity of other industries in the area and throughout the State. "The current project is seen as a pilot project to use available mechanical technology with the latest advances in ergonomics to produce not just increased productivity m the Jamestown plant, but a methodology for revi ving existing industriC$ 0 State-wide." he said. Women in music Clara Schumann had to defy her father c By RITA A . HILGENDORFF l;ua Schumann was trying nothing less than to take step one on the long road to women's rights - namely freeing herself from the power grip of her own father." Erika Mi:tzger, a professor in the Mod- . ern Languages Department. made this observation during the women's music symposium held here July 11 -13. Maria Runfola, chair of UB's Music Department. also spoke to the audience of nationally renowned female musicians. Meuger's lecture was titled "Clara Schumann and her Escape From her Father" and dealt with tlie "typical problems of women artists in the 19th century.· She compared Clara's connict with her father to a typical conflict between any modern middle--class father and daughter. Clara defied her father. Friedrich Wieck, a well-known pian o teacher, by marrying a young student of his, Robert Schumann. Sch umann had · moved into the Wieck trome when Clara was II years old Despite the fact that Schumann v. ., ~ a fa vored pupil of Wieck's, Wieck greatly disapproved of the marriage between the two young lovers. .. One of his •. argumc 'i was that Schumann, in spite of a. inheritance, could not provide Clara with the lifestyle she was accustonu..d to,·· ~ aid Metzger. Clara and her father w ·re fairl y well off, Clara being a famou "' . .: oncert pianist and her father attra<,.ng hundreds of students to his stud io. Schumann, on ,!he other hand, was relatively poor and carne frorv. a poor family. He was u Erika Metzgw (lelf) lelia about the lltbula- of Clara Scllu,_,n (abo ..). Scllu,.nn ., eetfy b-.mrner--. also emotionally unstable, often suffering from severe bouts of depression. Wieck showed his disapproval by withholding money Clara had maqe performing, as well as publicly denying Schumann his permission to marry Clara. Eventually, the· Schumanns had to take Wieck to cou rt for both the money and marriage approva l. .In 19th century Germany wome n could not marry without a fath er's permission or without a do wry. Wi eck had made sure th at Clara bad neither. Metzger related that "Clara confeo,cd to her diary, "I was hardly able to sta nd the fact th at my father bad to be humiliated in such a way. This day has separated us forever.' .. Metzger described Clara at this time at her life as an inde pendc:nt individual who wanted to search for, the answers to her existence on her f)Wn ... . " 06 Although Schumann did not approve of his wife working, Clara eventually found it necessary, as Sc hurrt'ann needed to work on his compositions. "She wanted Robert 's life completely dedicated to art while she was taking over this, at the time, curious, double burden of breadwinner and mother," commented Metzger. Schumann was uncomfortable with the situation, but seemed . to deem it necessary and commented on it this way: ""Clara's devel opment of technique - for that she has no time. The fault is mine, yet there is nothing to be done about it. Clara realizes that I must make full use of my power... Well, so it must be when artists marry .... " Clara never complained about the added burden of raising childrt:n and making a Hving, ..she only experienced profound embarrassment every time she had to ask for money,· at!'ording to Metzger. Despite the difficulties in her marriage that were caused by Schumann's continual bouts of depression and worsening health, the care that her seven children needed, and her performance duties, Clara managed to fmd time to compose. Although her works are re spected , and are still ~erformed today, Metzger stated that they are often compared unfairly to those of her husband. .. I have seen critics who meant it as a compliment when they said that Clara's compositions are good enough that they can pass for those of Robert Schumann," said Meuger. "In my opinion, feminism might have to ehan$0 some of- our perceptions regardmg women's roles m music," she concluded. 0 �July31 , 11M s- ~Ifl 9 No. 3 UB athletes await 'THE Games' W By SHAWN CAREY bile tbe entire Univcnity community eqmy awaits the cxcitemcat of tbe 1986 Empire State Gamea, a number of UB atudenta .&rc expreuin& their own brand of cntblllium u compctiton. Four of tbcac atudcnta bopina to aJwe in !h• Empire State Games' a~t include Mary Jo Bojanowski, a majoring in English; Dave HickSon, a senio_r majoring in finance/ marlcctiUJ; Steven Sawin, ~ junior majoring ·tn psychology; and Martin Mahoney, a graduate student in epidemiology at the UB program at Roswell Park I nstitute. -.or t first sight. weightlifti ng is the last spon one would expect Mary J o A Bojanowski to be competing in." At five-feet five-inches and 107 po unds, Bqjanowski looks more li.ke a runner or a swimmer. The truth is she was both at one time or another. But now at 26, she has turned her attention to wcightlifting. Although Bojanowski has been lifting weights off and on for a few years. she began serioUs training in January. The payoff came on June 2. when she qualified for the Games in the women's 52 kg. Open Division. • As to how she thinks she11 do at the Games. Mary Jo is noncommital. but her coach" Wayne Hunter. is co nfident of Bojanowski's chances . .. She11 take either a gold or si lver," predicted Hunter, adding that .. in two years. if she keeps training. she11 be in the top five in the country... Bojanowski admils tha t winn ing the gold this year would be ··a lot of incentive to continue weightlifting ... For now, though, she is just happy to get a chance to participate . .. Just to be a part of it is exciting" she said . Bojanowski. a native of Buffalo, finds an added meaning in participating in her hometown. "Qf course the fact that ' the Games are in Buffalo means a lot to me," she said, pointing to her ''We're Talking Proud" T-shin. ave Hickson. another Buffalonian. is better able to appreciate how lucky he is to compete before a hometown crowd because of a disappointment at last year's Games, which were · also held in Western New York. Hickso n, a 1985 All-American and a big gun for the UB wrestling team for the past three years, had, prior to last yea r, competed in five Em pire: State Games. all of which were ~eld in Syracuse. During the qualifiers last year, Hickson was in Mexico City co mpeting in th e Augustine Vaiseno Internatio nal · To urnament where he took home two gold medals. Once at home he found out that his dreams of winni ng at the Em pire State Games in Buffalo would be delayed another year. " I had comP< ted in all the o1her Games in Syracuse and then they finally co me to Buffa lo and I co uldn~ co mpete because of a technica lity. We tri ed to petition it , bu1 the best they co uld do was allow me to be an official. It was pretty disa ppoi nting." Hickso n is back with added incentive this yejlr and says he's going to savor the opportunity. For one thing, he doesn't have to worry about making weight as he has had to in the past. " I'm going to go 163-pounds instead of 149. Football season starts about a week after the Games and I'd like to go in as heavy as I can. Right now I'm abo ~t 158 pounds and I hope to put on about another five before the Games." Hickson, who has won two golds and a bronze at the Games . a Iready. will wrestle both freestyle and GrecoRoman this year. In freestyle,. he should be able to parlay his speed and technique into a medal with a solid chance for a gold; in Greco-Roman, where there is more emphasis on upper-body atrc~ tbe road wiU be toupcr. While Hicbon is fit and musc:ular, be will be loin& apinat niiUlrally bca~ opponcnta. , · "'Jbcre are guya wbo are sucking weight down from 190 pounds.

II -:-- DAVE HICKSON ,;Just to be_part S teven Sawin enrolled at U 8 for the fall after havi ng ' t ransfe rred frorn Canisius, where, at last year's S tate diving' championsh"ip, he took first in the one-meter and third in the three-meter. Sawin eagerly anticipates his first Empire State Games. "'I've never been of it is exciting. II D to the Games before a nd it's especially thrill ing to co mpete in your hometown." Wit h a busy work sched ule, Sawin said he regrets not havi ng a lot of time to practice his diving. "I had my best year last year at Cani· sius, but it takes only a few days off to lose your tim ing and in diving, timing is everything." With very little tiJll e to practice, Sawin still managed to qualify in both th e one- and three-meter events. For th e Games, he hopes to be much sharper and should be in th e running for a medal. Sawin is quick to give the Western team· a strong vote of confidence: "'The Western team is going to clean up." "It's time for a medal in water polo ... _ II - MARTIN MAHONEY or Martin Mahoney, th e last five years have seen many accomplishments, but winning a medal in Water Polo at the Empire State Games is not one of them. This year could change that. .. For the first time in five years every· one on the [Western] team has played water polo before, in addition l? being F strong swimmers. This could make a big difference for us this year," he said . Mahoney, who holds a ·master's degree in natural sciences and is work ing toward his doctorate in epidemiol- ogy, has a strong swimming background. He com.peted as a swimmer at the Games in 1979. Mahoney is encouraged by an increase in attention to water polo, si nce the U.S. men's team 's victory at the 1984 Olympics. Enjoyment of the game is what's kept him playing despite five years of Games competition where the Western team has .. pretty much been battli ng for the basement in 1he standings." But Mahoney, originally from Rochester, attended McQuaid J esuit High School, an institution with a grand tradition of· wi.nning, and he readily admits, "I hate to lose." Mahoney would be very pleased if :~~c ~":~~ i.,a'f{ur/'.':~ b~~a~oco~ 0 what the Games are doing for Buffalo and UB.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Im ages of loved p nes ;uc sup posed to be used to increase auraction. He said that voodoo , which uses these practices, is still prevalent in Hait i and other pans of the world. "Of course, there i no evidence that homeopathic magic works . " Kurtz aid . "S urely there is no und erlying causal relationship between the spell a nd inca ntations of the sorcerer and what they perfo r m at the targeted individual." He said that there may be some psychological effect on the targeted individual. if the person believes m. the magic incantations. The person m ay believe so strongly in the magic that the desired result actually happens. "A sisistsmilartoday form or magic t hat peris faith healing, .. Kurtz said. As chairman of the Commiuee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. he has conducted investigations of the claims of faith healers. including televis ion evangelists. Kuru said that it is a popular belief that diseases can be cured by . faith and prayer. There is a difference between phySt- ca l illnesses and psychosomatic illnesses. " It is the case that in rnany cases pco, pie with psychosomat ic ill nesses are indeed he lped by intense prayer sessions. I'm -not disputing that point." Kurtz said. Referring to the two studies of faith healing done in England and the United S tates. Kurtz said. "They cou ld find no clear evidence that an overt . organic. physiologic illness had been cured by faith healing ... He added that his committee has confirmed that fact. urt1 said that belief in the paranormal has grown in the last 20 o r 30 years. "A>tro logy is one of the oldest systems o f belief in the world .

A study last year showed that up to 55 per ce nt of teenagers in the U.S. believed in astrology. An ea rlie r study showed th a t 25 per ce nt of adults believed in astrology. he said . . Kurt£ said that these studies indicate that astrology'may be ··one of the most popular syste.ms of magical su persti tion that persists in our culture." One sc ienti st put an advertise ment in a scien tific journ a l for people who would have th eir ho roscope!<. cast and tell him if those horosco pes were accurate. Kurtz said that most of th e people who responded said that the horoscopes were very accurate. The trouble was·. the horoscopes were all the same arid happened to be the horosco pe for a bluebcard murderer! Kurtz a lso pointed out that a recent Gallup poll showed that 56 per cent of the population believes that unidenti fied n Ying objects have an extraterrestrial origin. However. the re is no clear evidence that any UFOs actually came from another planet. .. As I view it, there see ms to be a powerful "transcendental temptation' a te ndency in la rge sectors of people to look for and to believe in and to defin e hidden , mys te rious causes. relationships and associations." Kurt z said. "This is a kind of magical thinking. a kind of magic where yo u arc surprised at the magician. but yo u don't know how he did it.

Sponsored by U B's Ernest Witebsky Center for ImmUnology, the convocati o n is held alternate years and focuses upon different aspects of immunology. Past themes have included antibodies , regulations of the imm u ne response , human blood groups. immuno pathology. and cellular interactions in the immune response.

Other research to be presented includes reports on anti-i d iotype vaccines in parasitic diseases, development of a h~man malaria vacci ne, and mycobacterial antigens and vaccines. A highlight of the convocation is the Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecture, which will be presented by the noted immunologist Jonathan W. Uhr. professor and chairman of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dalllls. His address will be ''lmmunotoxins: New Pharmacologic Agen ts for the Treatment of Cancer and Immune Dysfunction." According to James F . Mohn , M.D. , ~ director of the Ernest Witebsky Center at UB, the convocation will be the first comprehensive, international program to focus upon vaccine~ . " In the 190 years si nce Edward Jenner introduced the concept of preventing infectious diseases by immunization with the attenuated or inactivated agent of those diseases, many illnesses have been prevented· by vaccination," Mohn said . While polio, typhoid fever, and a host of other life-threatening illnesses have been reduced in most parts of the world by immunizing against them, there are still others for which vaccines remain to be deve loped . 0 �VIeyyPoints An education paradox: despite some gains in 'male' fields, women are increasingly over-represented in 'female ' areas. By LOIS WEIS ince the 1960s pressure h3s been put on colleges and uni~ ~ersities to opep up opportunities to women. As a result. proportionately more women haVe received degrees in traditionaUy ma le fields. Yet, paraddxically, proport ionately more women have received degrees in traditionally female fields as well. Many more women enter institutions of higher education and g radua te from thtse institutio ns than CVc.r....b.clore. In 1981 , 50 per cent of bachelor's degrees and 51 per cen t of master's degrees were awarded to wome n. Over I0.000 doctorates were co nferre" upon wo men· as compared to 5.273 ten yea rs earlier. - women arc making Progress. An analysis of data reveals. however. that women remain severely underreprese nted in cenain traditionally male areas and that women are even more overrepresented in traditionally female areas than they were ten years ago. Generally spea king. th e situati o n at (he bachelo r's leve l ha s impr oved for " o men. b ne half o f all deg ree s grant ed 1n th e co unt ry arc nO\\ grant ed to "o men. an d th ere· wa.-. so mewh at less g.e nde r !<.egrcga tion by fie ld in 198 1 than tlh.:rc \l. tt!~lll 197 1.

Computer / info rmati o n sciences g ra nt 65 per cent to men: engineering. 89 per cent: ph ysical sciences. 74 per ce nt ; and agriculture. 69 per cent. Conversely, education in 1981 granted 76 per cent of its degrees to women: foreign languages, 76 per cent ; health pr.ofessio ns. 84 per cent; home economics. 94 per cent; and library science, 86 per cent. Thus we have an interesting pattern at the bachelor'~ level. Most maledominated a reel$ "ha:ve become less so · . but female domin ated areas ha9'e become slightly more so. Even though women have made so me progress in obtai ning degrees in male-dominated a reas, patterns of gender seg regat ion were still very clea r in 1981. Since segregation within higher educati o n tran~lates into tabor market seg regation and, ultim ately. into depressed wages ·for women. the unev~n distribution of women from field-to-field remains a matter for concern. These same trends are apparent at the master's level. Predomin cintly male areas tend to be less so, and predominantly female areas tend to be more so. Women are venturing into nontraditional fi elds at the same time they are ·' expanding their hold in traditional fields. At the master's level , 75 per cent of all degrees in agriculture are granted to men; 67 per ce-nt in architecture to me n; 72 per cent in business management; 73 per cent in computer/ information sciences; 91 per cent in enginee ring: 67 per cent in math ematics (this remains virtually unchanged from 1971); 78 per cent in physical sciences: and 65 per cent in theo logy. Although women received a highe r proportion of master's degrees in nontraditional fields in 1981 than 1971, they made fewer gains at the mast~r 's than at the bachelo r's level. At the same time, women have further entrenched themselves in traditional areas ·such as education and hea lth-related professions, n 1971-72, women earned 16 per cent of doctor's degrees: in 198 1-82they earned 32 per cent of such degrees. The number of female doctorates doubled during the ten-year period. The number of male doctorates went dow n. Again: in which areas did _women receive degrees'! In nontraditional fields, women obtained a higher proportion of doctorates in 198 1-82 than in 197 1-72. In agriculture. 14 per cent of 198 1 degreeS were conferred upo~men as co mpared with 3 per cent tc~s earlie r :.1 T we nt y-se ven per ce nt were earned by wo men in architecture in 1 9 ~ I as co mpared with 14 per cent in 1971. Eighteen per cent went to women in business management in 198 1. compared wit)! 2 per ce nt in 1971 . Cle arl y. wo men I "In such maledominated fields as engineering and physics, late starts are difficult; one is unlikely to prowse around in them." obtai ned a higher proportion of s uch degrees in the ea rly 1980s than in the early 1970s. The proportion of doctorates received by women in nontraditional areas is, fdr the most part. lower than that obtliined at the bachelor's or master's level. In comp uter and information sciences. 8 per cent of doctorates in 1981 we re granted to women . Twent yseven per cent and 35 per cent of mas ter's and bachelor's degrees, respectively, were granted to woinen during this same year. There arc s till seve ra l areas which exhibit extreme di sparit y by gen~er at the docto ral leve l. Onl y 8 per cent of all doctor's deg rees in co mputer and information sciences were granted to women in 198 1: 5 per ce nt in engineering; 9 per ce nt in Jaw: 14 per cent in mathematics: 14 per ce nt in physical sciences: and 8 pe r ce nt in theol ogy. This is not tp say th a t there has been no progress for wo men si nce 1971 , but rather to point o ut that ce rtain field s a re still heavil y do min ated by men. ~n traditionally female areas (ccfuca. tion , foreign languages. health related professions. horne economics, library science women once again .o btained a higher pro po rt io n of degrees than at a n earlier point in time. In eduCatio n. 49 per cent of all doctora tes were granted to women in 1981 as compared with 24 per cent in 1971. Eightee n per cent · of doctor's degrees in healt h-related pro·fessions~e ea rned by wo men in 1971 as compared wi th 46 pe r ce nt in 1981. Fony-four per cent were obtained by women in library science in 1971 as compared with 63 per cent in 1981. This is potentially an important trend in terms of the labo r market. Women appear to be ex panding their position in traditi onall y female fields. The higher proportion o f ad v-.nced degrees . earned by wo men may mean that mo re women arc o n thei r way to o btaining leading pos itio n!-. in th e!-.c areas positi o ns fo rme rl y held d i!-.pto po rti o natel y by men. In educati o n. for exa mple. thC schoo l system pl<.~ ces ma les in pos itions of auth o rit y and wo men in subo rdinat e role . In the earl y 1970,. out of 14,379 distri ct s up e rint e nd e nt ~. 90 were wo men. Less th a n 16 per ce nt o f all principab o r assistant principa ls arc women despit e th e fact that cl o~ c to 6g per cent of teachers are wo men. The high proportio n of wo men o btaining degrees in these traditionally femaledominated areas docs no t necessarily mean that women will be hired in positions of authorit y (and indeed , if they are hired, it ma y mean a decl ine in salaries). but it does mean that women will at least have irlcreased oppo rtunity to obtain· such positions. W omen have made strides in obtai ning professional degrees. Fifteen per cent of dentistry degrees were obtained by women in 1981, as compa red with I per cent in 1971. 'Thirty-three per cent of law degrees were obtained by women in 1981 , as compa red with 7 per cent in 1971. Parity is not yet achieved . however. Seventy-five per cent of medical degrees were conferreH upon men in 1981. Generally speaking. there is less parity in first professional dttgrees gra nted than at any .othcr point in the system . Twenty-eight per cent of first professional degrees were conferred upon women in 1981. This co mpa res with 32 per ce nt o f doct o r's, 51 per cent or master's. and 50 per ce nt of bachelor's. . While wo men have mad e gains in ce rt a in are a~ of high er education, much mo re needs to be do ne . Th ere are still are as o f ex treme male do minance, and oppo rtunities mu st be opened for wo men. In potenti ally lucrati ve areas such as engmeering, architecture. compute r/ information .. scicnccs. agriculture, business management, biological sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics. acti ve steps mu st be taken to recruit a nd to maintain female enrollment. A j ump from I per cent to II per cent in bachelo r's degrees conferred upon women in engineering represents progress, but 89 per cent of all undergrad- uate degrees in engineering are still obtained by men. The sa me holds true for other areas of traditional male dominance in higher education . Parity ha.' yet to be achieved . · While many of these programs rfsult from the anirudes of parents and coun ~ elors at the precollege: level. cenain steps could be taken at the postsecondary level to mitigate these effectS. Those male-dominated fields in which there ha~ been .relatively little o r no g rowth in the number of wo men s t u~ dent s at any degree level (particularl y at th e upper degree level) see m to share a ce rta in ch aracte risti c. In order to become a n engineer. physiciM . o r co mputer scientist. o ne must virtually arri ve on campus ex pecting to majo r in that field . This is true because the curriculum is tightl y organized , making late starts difficult. It is also true because o ne is unlikely to .. browse" in J?hY ics o r engineering courses and dec1dc upon the field as a major as one might in o th er disciplines. Many computer science courses are essentially closed to nonmajors because of overcrowding. Other such areas do not, for a variety of reasons. allow non-majors to take courses. Similarly, at the gradu ate level, women have fared better in M.B.A. and law programs, where students can ofte n en roll with vinually any undergraduate major. Womeit have had greater difficulty in such predominantly male fields as the physical sciences, cOm puter sciences, or engineering, where one usually cannot enroll witho ut a strong undergraduate background in the field . The apparent premium on early choice: in male-dominated fields has two policy implications. At the high school level. bette r counseling is needed . Mo re awareness on the pan of te3chers, stu~ dent s, counselors, an·d parents is esse ntial. In higher education, the opport unity to browse in traditionall y male fields mus/ be provided to potential maJors. and women mu st be e ncouraged to take it. An outreach effort invo lving facult y and peer co un seling sho uld be made by th e ph ysica l scie nces a nd engineering departments. A little ext ra attetiti o n might o pe n up new· opportuni.ties to women in fi elds still. heavily dominated by men.

UB. Alexa nder Vilenkin, Ph.D ., a professor of phys ics at Tufts University (Medford . Mass.), said that the so urce of gravity may be a ..cosmic stri ng" a one-dimensio n•[ mass of matter left over from the ongtn of the umverse. Vilenkin is one of a group of scie ntists who originated the theory of cosmic strings as prim6rdial matter that extend s in one dimensio n - length without end . Physicists began discussing the mysterious gravity so urce afte r astronomers from Princet on Universi ty discovered a twin image of a si ngle quasar in which the two images are 20 times farther apart th an a ny other known twin. Tl)e twin images are believed to be caused by bending of light that occurs when light encounters a gravity force. A sin· could thus cause the twinning effect. ""A number of tests would have t o be made before it is shown that it is a string," Vilenkin commentrd. " One test would be to look for other double images nearby. Another would be to look at the background rad iation." · Other explanations for the twinning effect include black holes - remnants of stars that have burned out and collapsed - and a group o f galaxies that cannot be see n between our solar systern and the quasar. Vilenkin SJ?Oke to the American Physical Soc1ety at its mee ting in Washington about his theory concerning the discovery. as did many other scientists. He also appeared on CBS news and was quoted in the New York Times on May 6.

B. erore th.at, she says, "the rriost famous black woman I knew was Miss Candy Quick who danced in the carnival when it came to town. I thought that it wou ld be a great · way [or me to get out of the Delta. so I begged Candy Quick to teach me how to dance. I wanted to hear the men chant my name the way they did for her."' After persistent coax.ing. tfolland convinced the dancer to teach her the tricks of the trade, eventually learning to blow smoke rings ou t of her vagi na better than Miss Ca nd y Quick. "The men were ycllmg 'P hcl ia. ·~he- . lia! and I just kept blowing smoke rings until I started to look like a chimney." Holland continued with anecdotes of her mother, the "Second Doctor Lady."

" I knew she was goin ', " she said, "she always did with an RC Cola unde r one arm and her medical bag under another." S he also told the story of " the yea r I ' became a woman."

"The bull threw me. I was a grown woman now and I didn\ want to play wi th Rebecca Ann no more," she sa1 d.

The ea rly druggists made their own pills and nostrums, something that the modern pharmacist rarely does. Reiss intend& to assemble the historical materials into new exhibits for the centennial, along with some early druggists' instruments from the School of Medicine's archives, Some of the materials may have formed historical exhi bits in Foster Hall in , the past. Among the materials is the first annual announcemen t of the newly- opened College of Pharmac)l, the second division of the University of Buffalo. This 1886 announcement introd uced the new sc hool, formed by five doctors from the medical school, and located in the medical building, wh ich then was located at Main and Virginia Streets. Perhaps in keeping with the emphasis on herbal medicines at the time, the first dean or pharmacy was a botanist , David S. Kellicoll, Ph.D. Eighteen students, including two women, were ' graduated from the new c~llege in 1888 with two-year Graduate in Pharmacy degrees. · ' As a result of the find at 2211 Main Street, the school now bas a complete &et of annual announcements from 1886 to the present. Reiss said the archives of the school were very incomplete until the "discovery." ccording to the 1886 announoement, tuition was $50 a year for 20 weeks of instruction, and for $100 in advance a "perpetual ticket" was available, entitling the student to as many classes as he or she wished to take at any time, Over the . past 100 years, . the A ,.,,. ~-pu~ are offered in four departments: ones at Buffajo General and Cllild· pharmacy. pharmaceuttcs, bio-- · ren 's hospitals.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The proposal also received affi rmation from the Faculty Senate and the Faculty Senate Executiv-e Committee. The concept of opening the d oor to an upgraded sports program, if that is the ultimate campus decision, "raced its first legislative test before the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, and received a unanimous recommendation May 7 that the issue be brought befo re the full Facult y Senate at its fin al meeting of the year. The reso lution, proposed by Dennis Malone, sup ported the principle of campus autonomy for academic and programmatic matters, and recommended that UB be give n the right to decide fo r itself whether to award athletic grants-in-aid. During discussion of the draft before ........., issH ,"lhe to . . . . . . . . .. CN• ·----. selves." them, members of the co mmittee questio ned the effects grants-in-aid co ul d t.ave on academic eligi bility, Title IX, funding, and staffing. UB President Stev<n B. Sample and James C. Hansen, chai rm an of the Intercollegiate Athletics Board, were present to answer quesjions. According to Hansen, UB's general standards for admission are above the ~AA mi~im u m which will go into effect th1s summer: even the standards of US's Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), which Js designed to aid economically and educationally disadva ntaged students, are above the minim um required. for NCAA eligibility. Funding over and above what is b~dgeted for competition in Division Ill will have to come from outside sources. Sample noted four so urces of funding for an upgraded athletic program: monies already supplied by the State budget, gate receipts. private support from the Unive rsity at Buffalo Found.ation Inc. and other business and private donors. and student fees. Hansen assured members of the committee that job lines and departmental fu nds would not be taken away from academic sources in order to provide new coaches. ''To me State suppon is not one of the needs of our athletic program. There will be · no diversion on this campus from the academic budget, .. the president assured committee members. "This is not a program where you add up the needs and then say ' let 's tak ~ the money out of the budget. ' If the S\)urces aren't there. then the program gets cut.., Coaching lines, too, Sample added, will be supported "only if the funds are there. State-supported coaching jobs will remain consistent with the number of lines that already exist in the Division 1H program. "The Chancellor (Ciifton ·R. Wharton Jr.) has made it very clear that he is in favor of having the (SUNY) Board of Trustees delegate th is change in status. with some stipulations," Sample told the executive committee. However, recent controversy in the local media over the campaign to upgrade UB's athletic program has left him in an uncomfortable position, he noted. "I've been caught out on a limb. I went through what I though t was a very lengthy consultation pfocess (to determine campus support of the plan) .... I've made recommendations in good faith." After a resolution calling for postponement of the issue was defeated, the Executive Committee unanimously recdinmended the measure for adoption by the Faculty Senate at its final meetiqg of the academic year, held May 14. assing by a margin of 46-1 with three abstentions, full Senate approval of the • measure did not come without the anticipated arguments. Supporters and opponents offered numerous comments, ques- P lions, and solutions during the debate. Malone ojlened discussion on whether the University should be llllowed to decide · for itself whether to provide athletic grants-in-aid. \O l think the issue is broader than that," be told senators and other campus representatives anending the meeting in Slee Hall. Of .course, the issue of upgrad ing .athletics concerns this issue. But it also concerns the ability To make that decision . for and by ourselves. " Malone note'd that academic standards would not be compromised by awarding athletic grants-in-aid becaUse "it is the (faculty) Senate that sets adm issions sfandards and requirements for graduation." It also is not an issue that the Faculty Senate will lose input on after the resolutio'n is voted on, Malone assured members. "This is not something that we will debate once. It is something we will debate several times. The Senate will continue to be involved with the i5sue of w$ther we should upgrade athletics." Geprge Hochfield, professor o E nglish and o ne of the most vocal op ponents on campus of upgraded ath letics, encou'f.iged members of the Senate to postpone acting on the meas ure, which he called "a motherhood resolution .., ·o7~:~~~n~ ~g.ainst autonomy?~ asked. 0 "The issue is not really autonomy; it is athletics." -GEORGE HOCHRELD "'11e fact •IS, . .• . athletic propams mean enormous publicity." -WIWAM GEORGE _ ' Instead , Hochfield offered what he called the "appropriate context .. of the issue. "This is a resolution that the president wants," he said. 'The point of all this is we come in at the tail end of a very professional and wide-reaching operation. A very well organized campaign has been underway for a very long ume to get the Board of Trustees to do what the president wants it to do." Hochfield added he is perturbed that at the .. last minute" the resolution was presented to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and to the Faculty Senate, "which pretends to us that the campus is going to decide this issue." But, he noted. the issue is not really autonomy. but athletics. "This has been a full scale campaign to achieve the changing of the athletic program on campus. Why now? Why has it turned up at the last meeting of the Senate? It seems to me the president just needs some sign of faculty support," Hochfield said. · ..There's an embarrassment in this. The president just needs something to show the Board of Trustees. This meeting comes just.. in the nick of time." . Hochfield encouraged the Faculty Senate nht to vote on the resolution. .. If you don't vote on the resolution, you lose nothing. There is no need to vote against it either. You don't have to vote yes or no. Just table it," Hochfield said . "Why make you rself useful?" illiam K. George Jr., professor of m~banicaJ and aerospace engineering, argued that an upgrad ed athletic program would bring UB to a level that would "conform with the standards and practices of other major universities... Upgrading UB's athle tic program .would not degrade the University's academic standards, George contended; in fact, it would benefit the institution by increasing UB's visibility, which in turn would help attract students, alumni support, and industrial dollars. . .. The fact is that universities with major athletic programs receive an enormous amount of free publicity, especially during the evening news on television and in the newspapers. One need only observe the attention focused by the media on Canisius during the basketball season, or count the sports pages in the newspaper devoted to college athletics," Geor$e said. UB has built academ •c programs th at are respected by the scholarl y community. Likewise. he added, we have gained the attention and respect of Western New Yor~ W and the State (or the role of the Universify is playing in local economic revival. Despite these successes, UB has noJ achieved the national name recogrution it deserves. "The question before us offers .us a choice," George said. "Shall we continue to stand firm in protest against society'• criteria, knowmg that we will d.o so 'in relative obscurity? Or will we capitulate to society's judgments so that we may be recognized as the great University we are?" Newton Garver, pr ofessor of philosophy, proposed that the resolution be divided mto two parts, the first dealing with campus aut onomy and the second pertaining to athletic grants-in-aid . " It is impossible to oppose autonomy no matter what one thinks of the other issue," he said, noting th at the Faculty had not . been asked yet to debate the issue of an upgraded athletics program. After a short dtseussion, the motton was defeated in a close vote. Edward J . Hovorka, associate professot of psychology, asked that the resofution be amended so that the clause reading "Such programs shall be subject to periodic . review by the Faculty Senate, incl ud ing any steps towar!l possi ble membership of NCAA Division I" be amended to read "'review by the Faculty Senate prior 10 adoption," and deleting the word "'periodic . ., The amendment was passed unanimously. Ronald Hauser, associate professor of German, requested that a final sentence be added to the resolution, stating clearly that the proposal does not necessarily $upport awardi ng grants-in-aid ~o student athletes. Edward S. Jenkins, associate professor of learning and instruction, recommended that the amendment also include the phrase .. or reject" in its language. The amendment was passed , and the resolution was adopted without furthe{ discussion. D UBplan due infa/1 Ftom Page 1 The program would pit U B athletes against Ivy League and ew England teams, he repeated . Admitting that the proposal to award · athletic grants-in-aid and upgrade UB's athletic program has met with some dissent , Sample noted that "with 26,000 studen ts, 3,000 faculty. and 6,000 staff, it's pretty hard to get every si ngle person to suppon any single issue ... However. the move to Division I athletics will rely on the suppo rt of the University, its alumni, and Western ew York. "Quite frankly, if there isn't a lot of support from alumni and the community. then no. we won't go ahead and run the program on a shoestring." Sample noted that UB students already have indicated their support of an upgraded athletic program by voting to increase mandatory fees to provide financial backing for the plan . Financial support from UB alumni and others throughout Western New York will be needed for the move to Division I, bul at this point pinning an exact figure on the upgradmg process is not possible, according to Hansen. "We don~ know of anyone in the last couple years who has taken a program from Division Ill to Division II to Division 1," Hansen said. "We have. no realistic figure (on what the move would cost)." Nor has the Intercollegiate Athletic Board specified yet which of UB's teams will be included in the plan. "'We have not made any determination of sports. Football and basketball get the most attention from people," Hansen noted. "We're looking at moving the women's programs as well." 0 �"'-S.1- ~1 3 s-No.1 Lobbying to vote in these communities and to have a say in the lrind of services that they receive there. Right now, studenu don't have a riatu to vote in the districts they help to ereate." After the briefing session, UB students visited Senator Dale Volker, hoP" ing to convince him to vote for the bill Students seek voting rights Volker expressed two major concerns about the legislation. First, students By RITA A. HILGENDORFF rarely vote in elections, be said, noting ., eo UB students traveled to Albany May 28 to take part in Student Suffrilge Day. Sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), the event's purpose was to give stu· dents across the State a chance to lobby their local representatives for the right to vote in the town ·where tlley attend coll~ge. The UB ~ontingent also was there to attend the Board of Trustees meeting, where Trustees were briefed on a 42-page study on the quality of student life. The report, which took three years to compile,' includd · studies from various SUNY campuses and lists both what students have found to be beneficial within the system and what they consider to be its pitfalls. Professor Thomas M. Barrington from the State University College at Potsdam and chairrnan of lhe task, force, said the ll':oup found "three main areas of dissattsfaction: fond, registration, and advisement." The task force the low percentage of college age regis• tered voters. Michael Rogers, SA director of academic Mfairs, 1poiotcd out that the reason may be "students have T aJso discovered that .. involvement of the siudents is important; students need to first registe·r to vote in their home- study are indicative of the problems they (ace every d ay, but the ad ministration is only interesteCI in the qualityo of student life because of system-wide drops in student retention and enrollment. Two million dollars has been aUocate.d by. the Boar.d_ of Trustees for the betterment of student life; although it has no(~n spent yet. The money will be used ~o\increase retention, counselin~ services. and security, and for mmority affairs, according to Barring- the opportunity for input. " The task force received student input ton. through its student members. However, fter the . Trustees meeting, the UB student delegation met with SASU Legislative Director Justin Hickson to discuss lobbying strategies for a bill that would allow students to vote in the town where they attend college. According to Paul Verdolino, president SASU President and Trustee Jane MpAievey said she felt the "task fqrce may have had gond in tentions, but st udents resigned because they felt that they wcren'i serving any purpose and the task force was a farce." McAievey added she i.sn' sure the repon really addresses the needs of all students. Although none of the UB students questioned the need for the report, they did echo McAievey's feelings . " Does he (Barrington) really think that the board cares?" asked one student who requested anonymity. Students at the meeting said they felt the points noted in the A of the undergraduate Student Associa- tion, New York and Alask:a are the only two states in the country that do not allow students to vote where they attend college . Verdolino called it "completely backwards that students aren' allowed to vote in the district that they are living in for nine to 10 months. People in college communiti- .,_lion - UB Volker. towns, file for an absentee ballot, and then mail it back to the county it originated from before a certain deadline. A lot _of student~ either can' be bothered with the added paper work or else they don' understand the procedure." Verdolino added that the absentee ballot wasn' created ·for people who 111111 S- IDT OM w~re living in another COIJlmunity nine months each year, but is intended for · people who are going to be out of town on election day. ties are concerned that students are going to ·come in for three or four years 11nd turn their Community upside d~n by voting the .' wrong way.' All students really Wilnt tb do is to be able · to participate in the ' community they are living ·in. They want to be able to vote on things that affect their university." · The discrepancy lies with current reUIII:ncy laws that allow each county to~cide whether students can register by setting its own definition of a place of residence. The bill now before legislators would define a place of residence to include a place one lives •~temporar­ ily." A ccording to Hickson, the real prob- lem is that students aren'- allowed to vote in the counties that collect their tax dollars. "Students are being taxed through the services that they purchase there. Students also create jobs for the community by becoming frequent customers of local businesses. Community people hold jobs inside the university." He added, "Students deserve the right · "It's ridiculo"' 't o expect a procedure that .was designed to lit that kind of need to be able to ftll the peeds of students. living away from hOme/' he said. Volker's second point was that students have a_tendency to register twice: once in their hometown and again in their college community. This, he said, is voter fraud. "Students want the privilege of voting in their college commun- ity, but are hesitant to give up the right to vote in their hometowns. Voter registration almost never checks to see if some.one has registered twice. With computers it is easier to keep track of things like that, but it is still a problem," said Volker. Verdnlino and Rogers .:Ssured the senator that students would be willing to make sure that procedures were followed correctly, addihg UB took special measures last election day to insure against voter fraud . Volker told the student constituency that he would vote for the bilL "I was never really against it anyway. I just want to make sure that there is .no more voter fraud ." 0 US still intends to reach for s~ars, NASA, rep asserts By SHAWN CAREY I f the lecture given here recently by Mlnot H. Parker, a representative of NASA's Godard Space Flight Center, is any indicator, the U.S. intends to continue "reaching for the stars."" · · . Parker,.s lecture~emonstration was part of this year's Science Exploration Day attended by mo•e th an 1,000 area high school st udents. The event, titled "Turn o n to Science," was held May 20 at Amherst. Sponsors were U B, the Niagara Frontier Science Supervisors Association, and the Science Teachers Association of New York-Western Division. Before discussing NASA's plans for the future, Parker touched brieOy on the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion by confirming popular speculation on the cause of the mishap. " It was too cold , and the seals on the rocket boosters did not work properly," he said. He also · urged listeners to follQw the developments of President Reagan's committee on the shuttle tragedy. · The co mmittee was due to present its report to the families of the ast ronauts on June 4, and to President Reagan on June 6. "Because of the Challenger incident," Parker continued, "NASA is in a redesign position . This position requires a set back of about 15 months." From that point on, be said,_ the shuttle project will take off agam stronger than ever, with four shuttle launches scheduled inside of one year - the first for July 7, 1987. Three of these launches will original~ from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and the fourth from the Vandenburg Air Force Center in California. The West Coast launch differs from the other three in that it will travel north to south instead of east to west and will therefore travel directly over the Soviet Union . "Of course, that had nothing to do with why it was planned," Parker quipped. nother big date on NASA's calendar is still about two years away. This is the projected space A launch of a giant telescope. Other milestones which NASA has in store for the immediate future are send· ing an unmanned satellite into orbit around Jupiter in 1989, and putting a space statton in orbit by 1994, thus keeping up with the Soviet Union. Parker advised those students interested in a career with NASA to keep in mind "that what we're looking for are people with a 3.8 GPA and preferably a master's degree." He reported a ~~ number of openings for qualified tndividuals and . tndicated that the field of science stud ied and th e school attended for undergraduate study are of secondary importance. For those students staying close to home for college, Parker praised UB. "I've got my own rating system. There are many gond schools, and UB is definitely one of them." With strong visual aids in the forro of a dozen model simulations of NASA airc raft and a filmstrip depicting people livi ng in space, Parker provided strong rei nforcement for anyone considering a career as an astronaut. 0 �THE ATHI;E IICS QUESTION Trustees open door for sports upgrades People should be allowed to help in legitimate ways, Holloman .noted. "If this Univenity is going to survive, it needs boosters .. in the best sense of the term, he suggested . From Page 1 Trusfees Victor Marrero and Rosemary C. Salomi>ne on t he boosters issue; by T rustees Salomone and McAJevc:y in purSuing the non-discriminatJOO point; and ... by Trustee Edward ·V. Mete in inq uiring about provisions for the maintehance of academic ~ standards. The debat~ , in addition to culminating in approval of the basic measui-e, led to a series of associated actions. Trustee Chairman Donald M. Blinken called on Chancellor Wharton and his staff to develop a draft of a bill to be presented to the Legislature dealing with illegal and imprr1per acts by boosters; the Trustee.; voted to amend the authorization resolution to preclude use of endowmen t income for grants-in aid; Chairman Blinken called on the SUNY staff to "make every effort'' to secure for the Board's June rri'Ceting a campus-bycampus breakdown of current budgets for men 's and women's athletics; and the Chancellor asked that the minutes of the May meeting indicate that safeguard s concerning the upho lding of cu rrent admissions policies and academic c:Jigibility regu latio ns must be pan of any camp us' five-year plan to upgrade. hile the Chancellor's staff W will draft legislation impos-ing penalties fo r improper booster practices. Trustee Edgar A. Sandman was not in the least sa nguine concerning such a bill's prospects in the Legislature. Such a bill would also affect private institutions within the State which have had big time spans programs for a number of years (the Co rnells, Syracuses, and Colgates. etc.). These institutions and their supporters might be expected to oppose any measure which might encourage the State's interference in th ei r athletic affairs, he suggested. Trustees Marrero, Moyers and Silamone nonetheless championed some sort of legal sanctions, with one suggesting that major college coaches around th e nation would welcome such legislation in their states on the heels of recent, blatant incidences of under-thetable booster payments to at hletes. Both Mayers and Chancellor Wharton decried the present disparity in the severity of punishments impl>Sed under !IICAA r.ogulations. tThe athletes involved suffer most,'·wilh the institutions themselves aiSO Jfacing sanctions. The offending boosters are in the clear, however, they noted. Other Board members offeri ng opinions ques.tioned Whether the threat of legal penalties wou ld have. any real effect. Trustee Arnold B. Gardner championed rJOiying on camp us pr~sident s to impose sanctions and disciplines -that might be harsher than legislation. T rustee Mete agreed . Trustee John L.S. Holloman, however. thought the entire discussion took a too harsh view of ~boosters .. ass uming that .. they're all at odds with the University." .........·CWr Trwt- ............... "We expect tile ..... Presidewt ...... A s originally proposed, Item 4 of the resolution before the • Board stipulated that "grantsin-aid ... will be supported exclusively from non-tax funds, which may include endowmeni income and gate receipts.~ CpiJld this not lead to taking money · away from educational uses? Trustee Mete asked . Current restricted .endowment could not be diverted, Sanford· H. Levine: Univenity counsel offered. Nonrestricted endowment is no! very great in any case, Wharto,n said, and can be expended only with approval of the Trustees. That woul\1 give the Board the opportunity to rule on the question ·every year; the Chancellor said, . but "you may if you wish decide in advance never to permit the use of endowment .. for athletics. · Trustee Marrero thought such a prohibition was a good idea. On some future day, he ventured, a campus preside nt, having "subjected the Board to a carefully organized campaign," might well come in with a plea to use endowment. Buffalo-area Trustees. George L.

"Again, we should use the five-year period to look very closely at this. We should graduate more than IS per cent of our athletes. We should graduate all of them." · The hancellor proposed a statement in the minutes of the meeting - rather than some specific regulation - as the best way to emphasize the Trustees' concerns. Let it be indicated, he directed, that as part of the .review of any campus five-year plan, the campus president will report on his or her consu ltation w1th that unit's intercollegiate athletics board on the matter of a~ademi~ standards.

These so-called ..critical languages .. are the domain of the 20-year-old UB Center for Critical Languages, directed by Peter M . Boyd-Bowman, professor of Spanish language and litera ture. Throughout the academic year, about 250 students struggle with a group of languages that reads like a line-up for a U.N . translators convention: Danish, modern Greek, Haitian-Creole, Hindi 1 Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, and Turkish. As of September 1985, Japanese had the largest enrollment, followed by modern Greek, ~orean, a~d Hungarian. _', A native of Matsue, Japan, BoydBowman pioneered what has become a national program of supervised selfinstruction aiming for a high level of language proficiency. Langua11es taught, at least on a periOdic basis, mclude all of the major languages of Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East, in addition to the minor European languages already mentioned. Each student works for about 12 hours a wee~. using texts and taped course materials. He or she mus( then review current work 1wice a week in small grou_e tutorials conducted by highly qualified tutors, many of whom are recruited from among UB's more than 1,200 foreign students. All tutors, Boyd-Bowman emphasizes, "are educated native;.speakers." Grade determination is left up to the program's outside examiners, all qualified, professional language teachers, often from prestigious colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. They alone are responsible for determining student grades, Boyd-Bowman reports, and often do so through an extended • pre-arranged telephone examination. Evaluator!' test for a range of language I skills, including fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation. idiomatic expression , and elementary reading ability. Outside examiners include J . W . Smith (Dutch), holder of Columbia's Queen Wilhelmina Chair of Dutch; Steven Dandolos (modem Greek), UB graduate student in English and comparative literature and official Greek translator/ interpreter for area courts; Robert Austerbtz (Hungarian), professor of linguistics at Columbia; Sek-Yen Cho (Korean), wife of Professor KahKyung Cho of UB' s Department of Philosophy and the holder of a U B doctorate in speech communication; Yael Paley (modem Hebrew), Israeli wife of Sam11el Paley, head of UB's program in Judaic Studies, and Roger' Savory (Persian), frofessor of Persian at the University o Toronto. T he UB program began with instruction only in Jal1"nese and Chinese, ... and bas been growmg ever si nce, .. says Boyd-Bowman. Students past and present include professors preparing for extensive study abroad; spouses of native speakirs; missionaries; business people needing to learn another language; former exchange students or "Army brats,,. and researchers in the social sciences and humanities learning a critical language for reasons of scholarship. Critical Larlguages does not offer courses already offered in the Department of Modem Languages and Literatures, nor does it offer a major. "We are a service program,,. BoydBowman explains. The program "is chronically underfunded" and operates with only a tiny staff, says the director, who isn' paid for his efforts. Nor does be receive release time from his other duties. "The Center for Critical Languages," he states, .. is one of the most costefficient programs in SUNY." All students take the center's courses for academic credit; some .Ire able to pursue their study for "siX or seven consecutive jects. "This is one of the serious challenges to our· democracy.

The program lacks funds to track alumni progress, but there are: some known success stories. For instance, Danish eval uator Doris Sorensen, wife of Soren Sorensen. U B professor of dental surgery, has successfully prepared several UB students for competitive scholarships offered by the Danish government for advanced study in that country. Dabblers having no real aim are not encouraged to enroll, nor are students who are merely trying to fulfill a onesemester language requirement. ... We don't care what the motivatiOn is as long as there is ·one," says Boyd-Bowman. All students seeking admission to the program must come in for a personal mterview with Boyd-Bowman or his graduate assistant. "The purpose is to establish eligibility, determme stiong motivation and ensure that each student understands his or her responsibilities in a selfinstructional program of this nature." F or .. obvious reasons," says BoydBowman , the Center for Critical Languages doesn't allow fo reign students to work in their own language although there is nothing to prevent them from doing advanced work in, say, the literature of their native land. Interestingly, Boyd-Bowman reports , ... we have Chinese and Korean students taking Japanese, Arabic speakers studying Perstan, Hausa speakers taking Yoruba, and the ~ke .. . ... We always quesiion students very carefully abo.ul their linguistic and educatio nal backgrounds in order to prevent auempls to gain college credit for speaking one's own native language. But we do admit students who are the children of immigrants who were either born in this country or arrived here very young, lacking any formal school- . ing in their language. Many of these individuals are highly motivated io explore their ethnic heritage." Two years before beilll invited to UB to launch a doctoral program in Hispanic linguistics, Boyd-Bowman developed a pilot program of supervised self-instruction m less commonly taught languages at Kalamazoo College in Michigan. Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education, the program was intended to show that crit1callanguages could be taught at small colleges and universities, where enrollment figures could never justify faculty appointments . Under Boyd-Bowman's general direction. participating Kalamuoo students were successfully tested by outside examiners in Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Swahili, Persian, and Brazilian Ponugucse. "T heUniversity specialists of invited from the Michij~an. Michillan State, and Wisconstn were so 1mpressed by the students' performances that when I came to Buffalo, I was invited by the New York State Education Department to be the consultant and general coordinator of a five-year Stale program funded by the Carnegie Corporation and totaling $167,500," he said. Under terms of the grant, BoydBowman helped launch self-instructional language programs at about 20 New York colleges and universities, including UB. . When the five-year project was phased out, Boyd-Bowman became the general consultant aod coordinator for a national program m'odeled after his programs at Kalamazoo and UB. Today, Boyd-Bowman and his team remain active in the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs, headquarters of which were located at UB and are now at Temple University in Philadelphia. "NASILP now has member inslilutions all over the country, each autonomous but aU modeled generally upon the principles first developed at UB, which still has one of the largest programs in the country, both in number of students and number of languages offered," he said. 0 �June5,1MCI Summer No.1 Helping hands Aiding others is ~.· the Muliers' goal By WENDY ARNDT HUNT T wo summers ago , while his wife carried their first child through th e last trimester , Eugene Muller tended to sick refugees hid ing out in Nong Samet, a border camp lyi ng between Cambodia and Thailand .

S_e~en of the undergraduate degree recJptents were the first graduates of the UB School of Nursing's Registered Nurse Satelhte Program at Fredonia. The School of Management conferred 840 degrees at its 59th Annual Commencement. Of those gradu_ahng, 594 received B.S. degrees in business administration; 235, Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degce.es, and II, Ph.D. degrees. The commencement speaker was Paul L. Snyder, ~hairman of the board of Snyder Corporation. · Senator Moynihan was the \feaker~ at the 97th annual Law Schoo commencement. Of 225 candidates for law degrees, about 40 per cent were women. Jaunty in a European style academic hat, Moynihan s4ggested that the 19th cenlury had left the world blatantly unprepared for th e gory Statesponsored terrorism of today. But the very different ·m oods and modes of that era are exactly what offer hope for a better tomorrow, he observed: "I would suggest - and ~would particularly suggest to a graduate class of law students - that little if anything will be done (about the current wave of terrorism) unle ss we recover the memory of the 19th century as a period of sharply superior civilization to that of our own.

Provost William R. Greiner con- · ferred 82 degrees to graduates of the School of Dental Medicine. Richard Powell, D.D.S., professo r emeritus and former associate dean for student and clinical affairs at the School, delivered the commencement address. ~oting that the 1986 class will ~the last to complete their dental educataons entirely in the School's Farber Hall location, Powell pointed out that at the turn of the ce ntu ry in the earliest days of dental education at UB, the School had o·nly a dozen operatories. When the Squire Hall facility opens as the base of operations for the School later this year, it will have some 396 operations for students. "Much is owed to the foresight of Chancellor Samuel Paul Capen and the School's third dean, Daniel Squire, D.D.S., who reversed then-established concepts nationally iil dental education, Powell said. It was under the guidance of 'these two educators that increased education in the basic sciences was ·included as part of the UB dental curriculum - a trend which spread to dental sctiools across the nation and laid the groundwork for dental e~uca­ tion today. For the first time, 10 graduates were hooded by their fathers , all of whom are alumni of the School. • See Commencement, page 14 �This Month THURSDAY•S ORTHOPAEDICS FRACTURE CONFERENCE, • EC MCOhh Floor Confere nce Room. 8 a.m. Abo June 12. 19. and 26, sa me time a nd place .

The evenl will fealure unusual cqmbinations of various keyboard instruments, including the harpsi chord . clavichord, fortepiano, virginal, celesta. modern piano, and organ. The sheer appeal of sound Is likely 10 be a drawing card. as audiences will be treated to sounds largely unknown to the modern ear. Consider the clavichord. ancestor of the modern pia no, for instance. It had man.y disadvantages. said Newsweek music critic Annatyn Swap in her essay for The Lives of the Piano. But, she added, ''lis voice was wonderfully soft and sweet. making_a tender whisper of melody to beguile a sensitive musician's ears; if the player moved his or her finger on the key while it was depressed. a soft vibrato would steal forth lo add a further tremolo of emotion to the performance.'' Comments"Oavid ·Fuller, UB keyboard artist and organizer of the event: "The clavichord is enormously sensitive and would be a popular instrument still if it could be heard lor more than a few yards . .. Nuns used to practice on it in convents. But it is virtually useless in en~embles. as anything louder than a six:year-old girl tota lly dr.>wns it out.'' " Keyboards ConJending" will also explore the differences belween lhe harpsichord sound of different nations: further differences between the genuine antique and the m'od ern copy; lhe various types ollortepiano (merely a name lor Jhe early piano). and the virginal, a kind of liny harpsichord . Fuller adds: ··s o "dilferenl Irom all of lhese as 10 inhabit dilferenl worlds are lhe celesla - usually an orc hestra l instrument played by hammers on metal bars - the positive organ (a lillie one). and lhe monsler Sleinway. which given ils head would gobble all lhe others op in a gulp." Colin Tilney. Engli sh keyboa rd artisl now on Jhe lacully ol ToronJo's Royal Conserva tory of Music, will give two solo recitals, including one on an Italian harpsichord, ca. 1730.

LaMer Pril'c of the American C hemical Soc1cty ( ACS), Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry. Dr. Man.oj K. Chaudhury received his l)h. D. in 1984, working with Professor Robert J . Good . The title of his thesis was . .. Shon-Rangc and Lo ng-Range Forces in Colloidal and Macroscopic Systems ... Five papers ha\~ been published so far on his work . One Or his disco\cncs has been a condi tion in which a film of hydrocarbon several thousand angstroms thick can exist as a stable film bet.,.,·ccn a drop of water and a sheet of•Teflon . He gave a quantitative theoretical explanation fo r this effect, ·in the socalled Lifs hitz theory of forces across an interface: it had not been knnwn before that this theory evc~rcdictcd the ex istence of stable. thick liq~id films . Chaudhury has also found some new interpretations of the type of force that is known as the hydrogen bond, whel) it acts across an interface. These= results are important in biological systems. such as the interaction of proteins with each other a nd with solid surfaces. Some differences between the behavior of DNA and of RNA arc believed to be. due to the asymmetry w}lich Chaudhury h~ discovered in hydrogen bonds.

If victims view the reporting of a crime to University aiuhornies as ineffective, they might decide to take matters into their own hands. Retaliation could lead to more serio us acts of .vjo lence . Consequently, what were initially relatively minor acts of victimization may escalate to more se rious forms of violence so that individuals who were at first the victims become and are labeled as offenders." The best way to deal with the complexities of crime on campus, according to the report. is to initiate projects that would decrease the frequency of violent incidents between persons who are acquainted , while at the same time increasing the probability that such acts would be reported when they do occur. "I n si tuations where serious violence is viewed as a legitimate threal, the potential victim would have to To Your Benefit Question: How m any tuition assistance programs are there for State J _oss• Calendar From page 16 believe tha t the most efficacious first and last resort would be to call police. It is obvious that if the police viewed as ineffective, then it is less likely that they would be called, and mo re likely that there would be a "violent response to any threat of physical injury."' And once police are called to inter· vene in a situati o n, response time is perceived as more imponant than thf punitive actions that may result from a n incident. ''From the students ' point of view, how severely the criminal justice system generally deals with offenders may be less important than the speed with . which the police respond to a call for help," according to the report. "The perception of how promptly campus police respond to situations marked by potential violence would probabl y affect whether it is considered appropriate and effective to contact them."

"This 'limitation is important as the nature of violence on and orr campus mainly involves simple forms of assault .... the report not~ . During the three-year period studied, 46 violent index offenses were reponed , with 24 of these ca ses involving robbery. " As expected. the majority (14 or 22) or the reported violent offenses. not including robbery, were commilled by non-strangers. In three. of the 14 aggravated assaults. the victim and offe nder were roommates. In [al . . . homicide, the victim was involved because he was a frie'nd of the roommate." According to Lewis and Singer. 64 per cent of these crimes, therefore. were committed by perso ns lnown by the victi ms. Howeve r, according to victim-s urvey data compiled by the Departm'Cnt of Justice, in the general population, on ly 42 per cent or violent offenses arc committed by persons known by the victims. Because of the nature of crime on campus. it is suspected that the number of reports does not reflect th e actual rate of incidents. ~tr a significant proportion of violence on a residential campus occurs between perso ns who are acquainted with each other, then it would be expected that the rate or officially reported crime would be substantially lower.

Between 1982-85, the rate or violence at UB was .2 per 1,000 total st udents enrolled at the University, and 1:2 per 1,000 resident ial students enrolled . he rate of reported violence Qn th e UB campuses is eight times lower than that of the City of Buffalo and approximately half the number of simi lar incidents reported in the Town of Amherst. according to a report compiled bY two Sociology Department. However. the rate of property offenses is five times higher than Amherst's and one and o ne-half times higher than Buffalo's, according to Vio- lence on a Residential Campus and the Learning uf Nonviolent First and lAst Resorts. written by Simon I. Singer and .Lionel S . Lewis, and presented before the SUNY Symposium .on Personal Safety held April 29 in Albany. The report studies violent crimes that were reported on the UB campuses between 1982 and 1985. and looks at victim-offender rc13tionships on and off campus. as well as at the concept of violence as a first and last resort. The venue of crime is differe nt on a residential ca mpus than . in a typical community. in part . because of a school's isolation from outside recreational and residential facilities. according to the report . "(F)or · a segme nt of its population. re sidential student s, the ·university nearly exists as a total institution. [Erving] Goffman {author of Asy lums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental PatienJs and Other Inmates] defines a total institution 'as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals, cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period or time, together lead an enclosed. formally administered round of life.' " If a university shares some of the characteristics of a "total institution,·· then , the behavior of its students would be similar to the behaviors of those in other total institutions such CJ5 prisons. menial hospitals, or military, bases, the report contmues. .. From research carried out "in other Ictal institutions, it could be assumed that violence on a residential campus · would occur mainly between persons · who bave had some prior interaction. . . . We suspect that victims of violence 0 During the sar{te period , the rate ~r violent crime was 9.9 per 1,000 for residents of Buffalo. and 2.0 per 1,000 for residents of Amherst. The rate of property offenses such as burglary, larceny, and automobile thefts, on the other hand , was substantially higher than the surrounding communities - five times higher than Amherst and 1.5 times higher than Burfalo. "The small pr11portion or officially recorded incidents of violence on campus is in line with our suspicion that a significant proportion of VIOlence is not reported to police or ·unlversity officials. . . . The lower rate of violent crime . . . is particularly striking i.n light or the fact that unlike the residential campus composed of persons I31J!C'Iy between 18 and 21 (the segmen t or the population with the highest rates or violent offenses), the population or Amherst consists of a large proportion or persons who are beyond the crimeprone years of violence [yet has a higher rate of violent cnme]," the report concludes. In fact, according to Lewis and Singer. because it occurs in a "total institution." violence on campus is mainly hidden from officials. T hi s pattern of minimal reporting of violence between persons who know each other resembles domestic violence. the report notes, where because victims are in close proximity to their orrenders, they are unlikely to report an incident. " In a sense. the IUnds of spouse and child abuse that is found in the general population has an analogue on the residential campus,., the report says. "Besides the simple availability of suitable targets within a residential campus, pcr~ons who use violence as a first resort [rather than as a lasl resort. or self defense] must be impelled to commit their offenses. The frustrations and strains of academic life are an obvious source of campus violence. Instead of auacking the direct source or their frustrations, students displace their aggression.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Lee, Ph. D. , dean of UB's Faculty of Engineering and App: lied Sciences, recently returned from a trip to Malaysia to sign the preliminary agreement with the Mara Institute. Lee and tephen C. Dunnett, Ph.D., associate professOr and director of the lntensi~e English Language lnsJitute, are the directors of the program. Malaysiar students will be eligible for associ?.tc degrees from SUNY in either enginccriitg science or management and economics. Both degree programs are offered through Millard Fillmore College and include instruction · in technical and non-technical subjects. In the IntensiVe English Language Institute portion of th e program. Malaysian students will study English, American culture 3:nd society, and orientation to academic life in Arn'trican school" Dunnett feels Malaysian students need to stud y both tht language and the cul,ure of America in order to prepare for srudy in the United tates. "Teaching and learning are very different in the United States, .. he saad. "The Asian student is used .to passive learning. while A.mericans are used to active learning. For instance. the Asian students rarely ask questions of a professor. That is one reason why Asian students have a hard time participating in classes with American students who are used to asking questions... According to Dunnett. Asian students are accustomed to role learning from the professor and a textbook thal suppons what the professor is saying. However. man y American p(Ofessors offe r differing points of view, and the student must choose among them. G he Malaysian education program includes general education subjects such as ccon.omics. psychology, sociology. languages. history, health sciences, mathematics, physics, and chemisuy. Engineering subjects include general T engineering science, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. Managemeiu , economics, and computer languages will ·be taught to the business majors. Most of the graduates of the prp. gram will be expected to apply to American colleges to complete bachelor's and master's degrees. According to Lee. there is no requirement that the graduates apply to UB or even a campus of the SUNY system. After they complete their training, students will be expected to work in their own count ry. Lee said the Malaysian people are .. most interested in training in engineering. "Two-thi rds of the st udents in our program will study engineering, and the remaining third will study business and social sciences," he said. The U B prog(am is part of a national effort of the Malaysian government. The government hopes to prepare 20,000 students for upperdivision overseas studies through .the help of American universities. Three universities (Indiana University. University of Maryland and the University of Texas) have begun instructional programs in the country. The SUNY system, with UB as the leading institution, represents the fourth university to begin teaching in Malaysia. UB faculty will be teaching about 400 students a year for four years on their own campus. located near the campus of the Mara Institute. The Malaysian government is paying the Wagner briefs the - FSEC 8 Vice President for University Services Robert J . Wagner presented the .Faculty Senate Executive Committee with a rundown on the status of about a half dozen programs affectin~ the University at the group's Apnl 30 meeting. Preliminary details on · the Empire State Game>. to be held at UB and · other sites throughout Western New York Aug. 6- 10. are being firmed up, Wagner told the FSEC, and "this year, much earlier. we know what we're doing." He noted tlnll efforts are being . made to minimize scheduling connicts between University programs and the games, especially during opening night ceremonies. The University also will be recruiting about 400 volunteers, about twice as many as last year, Wagner said. noting .. the. volunteers last year made all the difierence." and contrib· uted .. tens of thousands of man hours .... The vice president said he also hopes to have completed by September a list of recommendalions to be given to the Provost's office regarding the future of the Educational Communications Cen.ter. Wagner has received several reports on the opera1ion. "The reports are Oot all in ~reement on all issues. U but I $Uess I would have been surprised tf they had been," he told the FSEC. On the issue of " I" grades. Wagner told the committee that some system of informing students that taking an "'Incomplete" in a course may jeopardize their financial aid, needs to be worked out. The University also plans to expand Welcome Week activities for Fall 1986, "'to provide students return ing in the fall wi th introductory and welcome back activities." A variery of acti vities will be held for dorm students who a re in .. a state of flux" between arriving on campus on Saturday and th e start pf classes on Tuesday. The expanded program will be especially benefi~ial to new students, Wagner said, adding "the first eight weeks of the year are especially.important in retention."' A survey of faculty, staff, and students will be conducted through the end of the semester to gather information on opinions regarding safety at UB and the issue of arming Public Safety officers. according to Wagner. The random telephone survey will contact 2,000 individuals and is being conducted by a professional su{Vey service, ~~ded . . 0 fulf cost of the teachers' salaries, faculty housing, students' room and board , local transportation, a~ any other expenses. Lee said that the governmen t has been se nd ing thousands of studen ts to the United States and other countries to study. '"The attrition rates have been high for students coming to the U.S.," he said ... lristructing the stude~ in ."Two thirds of those in the program will study engineering; the rest, business and social sciences." Malaysia may be the solu tion to the problem of high attrition rates." unnett said that one of the unique aspects of the UB pro~ram is the involvement of the IntenSive English Language Institute. hNo other university is offering . a program like this one," he said. "The real test will be whether Malaysian st udents will be able to complete their studies in the United States. We want to insure the successful transfer of as many students as we can." D benefits of the program will be the development of a curriculum that could be used in training students at UB. "Once we bring tlje curricu lum back. we can use it here.:• Dunnell said. . Malaysia has ..emerged from its status as a developing country, partly because of its ability to extract its rich natural resources. The country now produces 35· per cent of the world outp ut of tin a11d 35 per cent of the world o utput of rubb er. Crud e oil production has . reached 440,000 barrels a day. The country also has a very stable democratic government. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammed is particularly interested in educating the Malays and in . imp...rovi ng the country's economy. He yriginated the idea of orienting young Malaysians to American universities by bringing professors to the country in 1982. T he Mara Instit ute has become a major center of crosscultural educational programs. Malaysia has increased its prod.uction of manufactured goods over the years. Light industry includes electronics and textile products, and heavy industry includes steel, cement. pulp and paper, and cars. · T he people of Malaysia are composed of many ethntc groups. The largest group (about 50 per cent) is Malayan, originating from the Malay Peninsula (bordering Thailand). The national language is Bahasa Malaysia. Most Malays arc adherents of the Moslem faith . The largest minority is Chinese (36 per cent). In addition to peninsular Malaya, the political boundaries of Malaysia include two regions on the Island of Borneo: Sabah and Sarawak. U B has developed several programs that encou rage international exchange, including the Intensive English Language Institute for teaching English to foreign students. a program to teach American-style management in C::hina. and a SUNY-Beijing exchange program for professors. D UB grad invited to USSR tQ aid i"n aftermath of Chernobyl disaster R obert Peter Gale , a 1970 graduate of UB's Medical School who has an international reputation as a leukemia researcher and pioneer in bone marrow transplantation techniques. was invited to the Soviet Union to aid in the aftermath of the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl. Gale left for Ru ssia May I at the invitation of the Soviets. He is ch3irman of the International Bone Marrow Registry which offered its aid. One effect of radiation is that it can kill the cells in bone marrow. Gale will assess the situation, idel)tify persons who may need bone marrow transplants, try to find available donors. and locate where the operations can be performed. Gale is an associate professor of medicine. Division of Hematology and Oncology, at the University of California at Los Angeles. A spokesman there said Gale believes the effects of radiation arc potentially treatable if the dis· ease can be identified and donors found . A fellow 1970 Medical School graduate, Jan Novak, associate professor of medicine at UB and director of the Gl unit at the Erie County Medical Cenler, noted that Gale is very bright and did well here. " He's probably one of th e most prominent graduates in the last 20 years," Novak Silid, addi ng that Gale has written extensively on bone marrow techniq ues. '"He's had an impressive career - he's a superstar. He's somebody UB can be proud of. "The Soviets are going to need his expertise." ovak noted . One of the influenc~s on the Class of 1970 was the outstanding group of immunologists that was gathered here by Ernest Witebsky, said ano ther graduate. Steven V. Grabiec. clinical associate professo r at UB. Witebsky has been called "the Father of Immunopathology" in this country. Probably about 10 of the approximately 100 students in the class went into immunology or allergy specialties. Grabiec said . Gale received his B.A. from Hobart College in 1966. After medical school at .UB. he attended UCLA and in 1978 received his Ph.D. in immunology and microbiology. 0 �...,.,1.

At the same time, they have vastly • increased their exposure and gained nat ional recognition through both their academic and athletic pu rsuits. S urely. these bastion of academic excellence do not view athletic scholarships as ..stupid and wasteful.- nor do they perceive Divi· sion I athletics as crearing an .. atmosphere of pl11y and childishness on campus," as Dr. Hochfield so absurdly claims. The good Doctor's claim that athletics is "utterly irre le\'ant'' to what the university s hould be co ncerned with. is also unfounded . as these othe r Uf'!iversities have proven ..

All of these groups are extremely proud of this Universi ty in vinually every way possi ble - except in athletics.

Birx said. t was during the Miocene era. which occurred 15 to 20 million year. ago. that the break began t<l occur, he said.

"Toolmaking came after bipcdality probably several million years later. We used objec ts, but the making of stone implements came much later." The third factor was modern crania l capacity . .. For whatever reason. the human brain began to expand rapidly." Bir."< -said. According to. Birx. there were four species of hominids - or erect walkers.

The views of Mrs. Langs, especia ll y. came to dominat e and decidedly inO uenced the directi on of her so n's budding career. This rather possessi-ve. and domineering woman, says Bianchi, forced her son 10 qui1 music and s1 udy law. He did so, ·gra· duat,ing from the UB Law School in 1908. I he yeaF-of MacDowell's dealh. For .the next 12 years, Langs prac· 1iced law in Niagara Falls. Though he reserved his greatest passion for music, "he liked being a lawyer," says Bianchi. Hi> father died in 1916, hi> molhe r in 1920. Only lhen did Langs marry May Louise Metcalf, a yo ung woman who in effect, had been "lried out'' as a suitable spouse for Langs, while stayi ng with the family before 'Mrs. Langs' death. Comments Bianchi: " He mus1 not have fell free 10 marry while his mother was alive. " The couple had no .children. Also, "the second his mother d ied ," says Bia nchi. Langs quit lhe law, and embarked on a career of exte nsive travel a nd musical activitY, made possible by a sizeable in herilance. Langs' !rave ls look him 10 Europe, Egy pt, Syria. C hin a a nd Central America. During a 1922 lrip to France and Spain, he purchased dozens of recently published works . by 1he mod ern composers of the day, including Debussy, Rave l, Granados, and Albemz. After examining this beg uiling new world of harm onic inve ntion and lush so und ~ngs'. own ha rinonjc vocabulary, say~ Brancht, began to cha nge dramatically. But his base .rem~ i ned Niagara Falls, spectfrcally ht s fat her 's enchan tin g home "right on I he gorge," Jaier demo I· ished to ma ke room for the Robert Moses Parkwa y. The couple 1hen moved to a nother hou se close by. In 1924, Langs met Harold Bradley ( 1906· 1984), l he Canad ian pianist and com· pose r who ta ught Bianchi and to whom the co ncert is dedicated . Theirs was an especially fruitfu l and long-lived friend· ship. "They played two-pia no works togelher twice a week for 45 years," notes Bianchi. "'And there was a tenyear period when the two of them played to gel her on WH LD every Sunday for 30 minutes." to his work with I Bradaddition ley. Langs conlinued 10 hold' n monthly "musicnles." These wore informal recitals much in the style of 19,1h ceniUry salon ~usic. The musical · quality varied, says Bianchi . For instance, recordings from Some of the musicales show 1hat Langs, .ever tbe ~ccomplished pianist, apparently was contenl to play wilh much lesse r play· . Crs from his socially p-rominent circle. . Busy adminislering hi s family's income... producing property, Langs continued 10 take pan in many other regu· lar musict~l activiti es. includ ing hol idaylime church choral cond uc;i.ng a nd playing regularly wilh a violist. How does Langs measu re up as a composer? The question is difficull to answer. .. He co uld have been more concise in spots, so metimes there is a paucity of 1deas," says Bianchi. " but hal'lnoni,.•lly he was very inleresting." The music has ••a cenam flavor th at takes getting used to." Bianchi is esP.e· cially fond of character pieces like Inland Water Suite for T~·o Pianos and Chinese Suite; both are on Satur· day's progra m. Langs gave the movements of these works suc h 1ypically expressive titles as "The Flu1e al Twi· light," "Tunes from the Mongolian Borde r," "Raindrops Fall o n Pl acid Wa1ers" and "Turbul enl River." The Jas1 move men t, final secl ion of Inland Warer Suite, will conclude SaiUrday's program. perhaps a fitting tribule 10 lhe river which so inlluenced Langs' life. Adds Bianchi: "MacDowell's inOuence is found in many of 1he slow movements of his late sonatas for piano solo and piano and violin. A large portion of Langs' laler works are character pieces that possess lush har· monies. The frequent nature themes also reflect MacDowell 's inOuence." An occasionally amateurish qualily in Langs· music can be anrib01ed to his isolati on from serious criticism and to a seeming lack of confidence in his · ability as composer and performer, Bianc hi believes. One can on ly specu· late wha1 kind of musical career Langs might have e nj oyed had his mother encouraged a professional career in music for her son. But did he want such a life? The evidence poinls 10 a certain self-satisfac tion on Langs' pan; he clearly reli>htid his life as coumry squire and talenled non-professional. Also on lhe program are Violin and Piano Sonara in C Minor. Waltz in E. Waltz in C Minor, Waltz in C, the second movement of the Piano Sonata in A Minor. Wayside Suite.

There is more in- valved than just going to class'. learning ·a routine. and performing it. His training for last year's competition involved not only taking classes at U B. but also taking classe of all forms outside of the Univer it y. These included -ballet to strengthen hi s legs and deve lop a better technique. To prepare for las t year's competition. Zera also trained at the Village Glen Tennis and Fitness Club.

"You spend a lo t of time in the s tudio if you 1,want to be a good dancer." Another rea son for th e dancers' lack of free time is he phy;ically demanding worklmtd they must co ntend with.

"She thinks you arc more mentally and physically prepared that way. which makes you a beuer dancer." Gonz.alc7 believes that if he had accepted the offer and done well. he probably could have advanced to one of Joffrey's re~iden t dance companies. The future looks bright for thi s talented group of yo ung professio nals. Sutter. who performed in l·larh,quinadt; with the New York City Ballet Company at Linco ln Center. hopes to dan ce in a regional ballet com pany. In additi on to her full-time studies here. she teac hes ballet at Terri George's Dance Work shop in Kenmore. Following what s he hop~ will be 3 succes~fu l career a!) a professional ballet dancer. Sutter plans to resu m teaching. Zera hopes to dance professionally i~ a co mpany that draws on all dance forms " because that's what we learned the most throug h the Zodiaque Dance Company." He also plans to audition for Broadway s hows.

With 50 years experience in national and international reportrng, Schorr doubles as the Washington corre- · spondent" _for Weekend Edition, NPR's new Saturday morning news magazine, an<t as news analyst for All Th!ngs Considered, NPR's awardwinning daily news program. D Based in Washington since 1966, when he wound up a 2()-.year stint as a foreign correspondent, Schorr slill 'travels widety for flrst~hand observation. Within a three-mcmth period, he reported lor NPR from Ber1in , from the Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Geneva, and from Israel. Schorr started his career as a foreign correspondent after World War II, writ ing from Western Europe tor 1he Christian Sc(ence Monitor and Th8 New York Times. His coverage of the 1953 flood that broke the dikos tn Helfand brought him to the attention of Edward R Murrow. which led to an offer to join Murrow's team of CBS ne;ws corre-spondents as diplomatic corre-spondent in Washington. In 1955, he went to Moscow to open the CBS bureau. Hia assign· ment in the Soviet capital waa climaxed by the historic "Face lhe Nation" Interview In 1957 with Soviet Chief Nlkita Khrushchev in his Kremlin office that made ~nner headlines around the world. Schorr was excluded by the Russians at the end of ·that ·same year f•r defyin·9" their censorship regulations. After serving in Washington and at lhe United Natlbna, Schorr returned to Europe In 1960 as CBS bureau chief for Germany and Eastern Europe. In the following six years. he covered the Berlin and Soviet harassment of Allied access to the divided city, and ranged widely to Poland, Czechoslovakia. Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Reassigned to Washington In 1966, Schorr bought a house, married {the former Lisbeth Bamberger) and settled down to "become re-Amerlcanized." as he puts it, by plung ing Into coverage of civil rlgAts, urban and environmental problems, health and economics. wan break-in at the Democratic headquarters In 1972 created a new assignment which, in the next two years, developed into the role of CBS chief Watergate correspondent His coverage earned him three Emmy awards. He found himself unexpectedly a part of his own story as the Watergate fnvesti· gatlon turned up a Nixon "enemies list" with his name on It and evl· denca that the Pres ident had ordered him investigated by the FBI. Nixon then tried to cover up that Investigation by stating that it was lor a fictitious White House A pos ition. That "abuse of a federal agency'' became one of the Impeachment charges aga inst Nixon. After Preslctent Nixon's resigna· Uon i n 1974, Schorr moved 10 the spreading Investigation of CIA and FBI scandals- " the son of Watergate," as he called it. That was climaxed by his publication at a leaked copy of the final report of the House Intelligence Committee in . defiance of a House resolution, adopted under pressure by the CIA and the Ford administration, to suppress the report. The House Ethics Committee, ordered to investigate the leak, eventually summoned Schorr in September 1976 to demand that he identify his source. Risking a jail sentence for contempt, he refused with a statement that has become a journalism school classic : " To betray a sourctt would mean to dry up many future sources for many future reporters.. .. It would mean to betray myself, my career and my life.· Showeied with clvll 'fiberties awards lor his historic defense of the First Amendment . Schorr resigned from CBS. accepted an appointment as Regents Professor of Journalism at the University of california In Berkeley, and wrote Clearing the Air, his account of a stormy period spent investigating government scandals for a television network subjected to gove,rnment pressurp:s. In 1980, .Schorr agreed to help Ted Turner create the Cable News Ne.t work, serving as its senior correspondent until1985. He filmed an unprecedented hour-long interview with Justice Harry Blackmon in his Supreme Court chambers . an exclusive interview with President carter, and traveled widely with · Presidents Carter and Reagan for summit meetings. Schorr became noted for. h.is ad lib commentary during crises such as the shooting of President Reaganl and for responding spontaneously to phoned-In questions from viewers of a program he devised called ."Ask CNN." SchQrr had started broadcasting commentarie~ for NPA's All Things Con.aldered in 1978, and insisted bn continuing them all during his em,plo,yment with CNN. When he his role with NPR was and formalized with a dragged from tbe siQelines into the arena, but always. I believe, in defense of doing my JOb as a reporter. I mean, if President Nixon decides to have the. FBI investigate me, and then that becomes an issue, or if my name turns up in a Watergate hearing on the Nixon "enemies list," that's not something I did, but something ttJatsomebody else did because I was pursuing my journalistic job. I've always loved the idea of being not a mover. shaker, maker of events , but the one who describes them to others.. Schorr reflects on his career v1ith Scott Simon Weekend Edition ho!l Scott Simon pulled NPR Nttlonal Affaira Corre$pondfmt Daniel Scho" Into one of NPR's studios to talk with him about his career and his observations ebout news aslt Is reported In print, on television, and on the radio, especlai!Y ~~ N PR. w-4 SIMON: How do you define wMI you do on Edition .. being dl:fferenl from other thlnp you'W done In your cai"MM? SCHORR: It is one of the times when I can sit back and look at the events of a sometimes chaotic and tumultuous and compll~ied week, and look at it not from the point of view of the news junkie who says, "What happened today?" but with a longer view- "'What happened this week and what place may that have taken In history?.. SIMON: You 1tarted In the business 50 years ego, as I Understand It? SCHORR: I knQw, you look lncredu· lous about this, but I w;ube 70years old this year. l was18 when I started In the news business, and so it is something more than SO years ago that I started writing news. SIMON: WeU, can I hetr the beginnlnga? SCHORR: I guess the real beglr>nlng of my joumellstie career was when I was13yearsold,livlng !nan apartment house on the groun~ floor in the Bronx. f heard a big "plop" outside the window, looked out, and saw a dead body lying there i n front of me, somebody who had jumped off the roof. I coolly waited for the pollee to arrive, found out his name. a few other things, and called the local newspaper. which was called the Bronx Home News. and dictated a story for which I got live dollars - the first money I ever earned in journalism. SIMON: When you I - bKk at the time when you were 13, and you hnrdtheplop,haftyou-rul<ad yournlt what impeltad you to Kt that way? SCHORR: A lot. And in fact, when I wrote my book Clearing The Air in 1976, I tried to define the attitude of the journalist, what it is that made me at that early age not be shocked or even saddened, but to look with a totally dispassionate view of, "Here is an event, a story. something that must be covered." I guess it is an attitude. Being a reporter is not only a profession for me, It is a way or life; It Is Indeed an attitude towards life. I am the observer. What it means is that I don't sign petitions, i don't make political contributions. ! don't get my name on various letterheads. I don't get Involved. Some people call that a cop.-out. Maybe it is a cop.-out, but I am ·the quintessential person on the sidelines. Now, some people etll that funny because I have a way of being SIMON: You were there et the llirlual beginnings of broa-t ioumallam. do you that r.pol'ting .... c:hanilad . . . rnuh ot that lnduttry? SCHORR: In the early days, a newspaper was a rather small enterprise In which one person might V!rltea story, set the type and go out and distribute the newspapers. Then the press grew and became rather big. But. as long as it was the printed press. its main tunctron was purveying Information. As news got into broadcasting, :~~~~~i~it:~:e;:· f~~!:~:f~~: the information purveying side became a sideline to a vast entertainment enterprise. The result was that people in charge no longer saw news as their principal function, but as a secondary function, and quile frequently, as a rather irntating function because it interfered w1th the rest. As Ed· MurroW observed, his hard-hitting program "See It Now" presented a problem. What he was doing got in the way of profitmaking. Hera were these people involved with millions - and later billions - of dollars of investment riding on advertising dollars, riding on ratings, riding on entertainment They had togo on doing these news · things partly tor prestige, and partly because of traditiOn, but they could never really function the way newspapers do - a's though news was their principal purpose. And so, for example, i n one of the more traumatic experiences of my life, when in 19761 came into possession of a report of a Congressional Committee Investigating the CIA. which the House of Representatives voted to suppress, 1 regarded myself as being in the position comparable to that of the New York Times when tt was giveo the "Pentagon Papers." That is to say, I had an obligation to iee that it was made available to the public.. But I didn't work for the New York Times. I worked for CBS. And CBS with its affiliates and the pressures of Congress and the awareness of the FCC, didn't react the way a newspaper would react.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Backpage State University of New York UB house named 'national landmark' • By ANN WHITCHER U B's Darwin D. Martin House, 'designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1904, has been named a National Historic Landmark by U.S. Interior Secretary Donald P. Hodel. ~Tbe purpose of landmark designation is to identify and recognize oat<onally aiJ!nlficant sites and to encourage tbetr o~ers to preserve them," laid Edwin C Bearss, chief historian fQr the N~ Park Service. Landmarks ~ chosen after careful study by tbc Pm Service\ architectural bistoriaD. CaroiJD Pitts. They are then~ lit' an ad'risory board. Actual ~o COme$ from the Secretall' Of · laterior in accordance with tbc Hiltoric Sites Act of 1935 and 1he National flisloric Preservation Act of 1966. "We are delighted with Secretary Hodel's decision to recognize the archi- tectural distinction of this wonderful building," said UB President Steven B. Sample. "The Martin House has long been reco~nizcd as an enduring trea- sure and nchly deserves the additional attention it will now receive . ., Added Michael P. Brooks, de~n of the School of Architecture and. Environmental Design, which administers the building: "The Martin House is a fantastic teaching resource for the school, and our advisory .board for the house has been working diligently toward its full restoration. The house is already acclaimed as one of Wright's ftllest Prairie School creations. Its designation as a Na!ional Historic Landmark will produce even more visibility - and hopefully financial resources." Deputy New York State commissiOner for historic preservation Julia S. Stokes, who helped secure the designation. said: "We were very pleased to be able to forward the designation to Washington. The Manin Ho.usc is an incredible piece of architecture. It's a beautiful building." The University will hold a community celebration of the designation sometime this fall. uilt for Darwin D. Manin between 1900 and 1904, the house is considered one of the finest of the sprawling prairie residences of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period. Martin was a Lark:in Company executive who commissioned Wright to build a house for him after seeing the house Wright had built for his bro~ber, W.E. Martin. in Oak: Park, Illinois. It was acquired by UB in 1967. According to Wright, who died in 1959 at the age of 91, "a house ... can be a noble consort to man and the trees." He debunked the notion that a house mu t necessarily be a "box." And he stated that a building's colors 8 • See . . . . . - . page 2 • �a..,1,1118 Volume 17, No. 29 wi th lo ng sequences o f wind o ws, unheard of a t the time.

The main fireplace was two-sided and covered with an exceptionally handsome mosaic wisteria pattern. After reducing the number of rooms to a bare minimum. Wright brought the ceilings down and designed intc- ~~bert rio rs so th at .ceilings and walls Oowed toget her as one la rge e nclosure of space. The then-standard 12-foot ceilings were lowered to today's level of 7!11 feet. In line with Wright's belief in "organic archite<;ture, .. in which architecture wasn't ·divorced from the natural envi ronment, all materials shOuld' Interior- ollhe llletlln Houn be natu ral, he stated. Also, plaster was -not to be tin ted wit h eanh tones; rhe brick was not to be covered with stucco or painted. The house's pier and cantllever construction allo~·ed Wright to do away wuh walls enurely.

Letters Sharpen your commands on tests DEAR COLLEAGUES: As examination time approaches, it may be useful to share some thoughts about wriuen exams and term papers. Thc:R ideas are based on sessions with ·studentS who have known 1he course material but -performed badly":' on the exafl)s. · A high percentage of the weak performances can be \raced back to vague or misleading command verbs on the exams. The following clear command verbs arc in an order of increasing intellectual complexity: idtmtify .stat~ the signifirom:e or imponon('(' of . . norrotr or for ... desrriht> ff'( 'ft'OII! and be surprised to learn that the exammer really wished an analysis of the causes and effects. Obviowly the beginnmg command verbs arc more appropriate for timed, closedbook exam.~. while the later co mmand verbs may ccnainl.y be used productively in open· book or take-home finals. It is often a good idea to require that students hand in all drafts of take-home exams and term papers. Such a requirement decreases the likerihood of plagiarism and increases the chances for a productive conference about the prob1ematic essay.

But upon completion of the most comprehensive modern .psychiat ric profile of arsonists to date .. he realized that his initial impression was no more than a false stereotype. For example, the conclusions of h1s study reveal that most arsonists have no particular fascination with fires and do not get any sexual stimulation from them. Dr. Molnar, who j~ also clinical director of psychiatry at Erie County Med ical Ce nt er, is well known for his primary area of resea rch into psychopharmacology and mood d iso rders. Just as the co nclu sions of this st ud y prompted th~ revision of his own idea of the arsonist. he hopes the results will serve to guide and educate the police and the courts to the fact' that arsonists arc not always hard...core criminals, as they arc often depicted and treated. Thi> is panly related to the fact that arson is perhaps the easiest crime to commit. ''O ther violen t· crimes require nerve and perh a ps the use of u gun or · a knife ... explains Dr. Molnar.

B uffalo has had its fair share of problems with the crime of arson. In the late 70s when there were a large number of empty industrial properties and abandoned buildings in Buffalo. particularly in the downtown sectiqn. the growing incidence of arson toget her with the depressed economy posed a severe threat to many formerly thriving neighborhoods. The rate of arson reached such epidemic proportions in Buffalo. New York, Philadelphia, and o ther cities that in 1978 Congress enacted legislation which requi red national reporting of arson by the F.B. I. Arson was at its peak in 1978 when socio-economic conditions in many cities fostered incidents of insurance fraud . and vandalism which commonly used arson as a tool. Since 1981 the frequency has declined . Between 1982 and 1984, for instance. incidents of arson in Erie County decreased from 874 to 662. a 24 per cent reduction. However. today it still remains at a level responsible for the senseless loss of perhaps hundreds or thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars every year across the nation. The profile emerging from this study differs greatly from the popular image of the pyromaniac and instead presents the largest group of aasonists as a group of socially inadequate indi•iduals whose actions are often given impetus by their mental problems. "Most of the arsonists whom I encountered were not o therwise threatening but more often unhappy and depressed individuals," says Dr. Molnar. It is his hope that the conclusions of the study will be useful to those persons who inv~:.Sti­ gate arson and will better enable them to understand the criminal and. thus, the crime. 0 (Mr. Taylor is a sophomore pr~-med, chemistr.... major at UB.

Gale said she hasn't seen any. cases where a student has become physically oolent, but if it does occur, he'd recommend calling Public Safety.

But help can come from friends, family. a resident advisor. or a cler~man. Suicidal behaviOrs, in general. have brief duration, she said. They may be precipitated by a break-up wi th a boyfriend or girlfriend or by failing a crucial exam. The intensity can last a day or two or perhaps a week. During that time arrangemen~ could be made to have the student >tay with friends or go home for the weekend, Gale suggested. The clergymen from Campus Ministries are terrific, she added. Gale told of one facu lty member .. who took an upset student to dinner one night so the student wouldn' be alone.

The Outstanding Service Award is presented by the University at Buffalo Foundation Inc . The two annual winners of the award each receive S1,000 cash and a personal certificate of recognition. "Frequently, members of the professional staff go beyond the normal · scope of thei ,...responsibilities to make T outstanding educational or civic con~ tributions which benefit the University and the community," Dingeldey added.

He talks movingly about the pace of life on his CheyenneArapaho reservation in Geary, OkJahoma. where a yearly dance salutes the beauty of the sun. · · N Such reverence for nature. he says, would never allow a Love Canal to happen. For the ative American, the pervasive symbol of the circ)e implies an inescapable responsibility for one's actions. "The people who made Love Canal were linear thinkers, with no concern for the future.·· Continuing the Love Canal analo~y, he notes that the chiefs of his tnbe , before eating together in the tepee, take some of the food and bury it in the ground outside. "In their perception. they couldn' take something that is harmful to themselves or the land and put it in the eanh." A native of Wichita. Kansas, Heap of Birds moved to the reservation after earning his M. F.A. degree from the Tyler School of An at Temple University in Philadelphia. He had also studied ~ainting at the Royal College of An m Logdon. Though he had never before lived on a reservation, his par· ents. who continue to live in Kansas. welcomed his decision. "I'm really a believer in going where you want to be, andtlearning about things firsthand. I had a commitment to discuss native issues, so I had to know what I was talking about. That is ~ why I returned." · His cd'mpatriots on the reservation see him participating in each summer's sun dance. thus fulfilling his promise to do so for four years : So, he says, there is liltle, if any. resentment, toward Heap of Birds' frequent trips to New York. Paris, London. and Stockholm in pursuit of an ..active an career. In any case. he told the Reporter. the notion that lndian' artists don 1t participate in "the wider culture" is nothing more than a relentless stereotype. W hilt in . Oklahoma, Heap of Birds ·gladly iinparts news of the Ne"'' York-Paris-London an scene to other anists living &n the reserva1ion. And hC also lectures on Native American an everywhere he goes. In 1984, he was curator of •• o Beads o Trinkets, .. a large show of Indian an that originated in Seattle before traveling to the United Nations' Palais de Nations in Geneva. He also took pan in the recent "We Always Come Back on Purpose" show at SU Yf Westbury, in which a group of Native American artists displayed art with decidedly political overtones. Despite the many differences among tribes, Heap of Birds adds "a certain pan-lndianism~· - with common slang anp dances - is emerging across the country. Heap of Birds speaks passionately about the political rights of Indians, especially the land rights accorded them by various treaties. For instance, Indian commerce on the reservation can not be regulated by the government, he says, nor are any non-federal law enforcement officials allowed on the reservation. Yet, he maintains, the threat if not actual violation of these laws and regulations , hangs like a heavy thundercloud over Indian life on most American reservations. "Indian people in the United States have a real special c"ndition compared to everyone else in the country, includ- ing other minorities. This stems to some extent from our world view but primarily it is due to our land rights. which ought to be respected . .. . Most Americans are living on former Indian terri tory. At 1he \'try least, they should know more about their hosts." . But political messages are only a part of Heap of Birds' art. Some of his free-form abs tract paintings. displayed earlier this mont h at Bethune Gallery, reminded Philadelphia Inquirer cri'iic Edward J. Sozanski of tlfe words of Clyfford Still. who added: "Each painting consists of a number of irregular patches of color interlocked like a giant puzzle in which all the pieces look like Czechoslovakia .. .. This is vibrant. Sensual painting that plays tricks on one's depth perception and sense of proportion." The artist . who is in his early 30s, is also fascinated by language. His recent CEPA display included many working sheets for his " language art, •· which plays not only on the literal meaning of words . but also revels in their "abstract•• properties. cspeciaily sound and appearance. Some of the groupings were overtly political: "Native is Pain and You're Part?" and "Oh! Those South African Home Lands You Impose U. S . Indian Re servations.'' Others were lyrical statements about the pathos of love: "Risk Finding Passion." Color. frequently with strong references to traditional Indian lore. is used throughout. Says Heap of Birds: "I want to paint language." The CEPA show also contained photos and a videotaped rendition of "ln Our Language." Here, phrases in which the Cheyenne-Arapaho people were allowed to acerbically comment on their relationship with the White Man •. or "Vehoe" in the Cheyenne language. which also means .. spider," were flashed above Times Square for about 50 seconds every 20 minutes during a two-week show with other artists in 1982. T he American Indian is often seen as the representative of the exotic. a state of affairs that precludes real understanding of native life. Heap of Birds was frank ly "appalled" by local ignorance concerning both Indian culture and the presence of the Turtle Museum in Niagara Falls. which he regards as one of the best reP.ositories of knowledge abou t Indian hfe in the world. He also laments the presence throughout the country of non-Indians •·masquerading as Indians," and also of anthropologists and other scholars who. he says. often prevent the Indian himself from participating in the gathering of Indian scholarship. They do so, he alleges. either through fear of being proved wrong in their factsgathering or perhaps due to an odd form of ego-tnpping. The best solution. he states, would be to allow Indian graduate students to teach more extensively in universities, and thereby participate in the wider dissemination of knowledge about Indian cuhure. He praised UB's Department of American Studies for allowmg such progress. He sums the issue up in this way: "The white man shall always project himself into our lives using information that is provided by learning institutions and the electronac and print media. Through these experiences the nonIndian will decide to accept or reject that native Americans are a unique and separate people with the mandate to maintain and strengthen indigenous rights and beliefs. Therefore we find that the survival of our people is based upon our use of -expressive forms of modern communication. The insu~gent messages within these forms must serve as our present day combative tactics ... D �THURSDAY•1 PIANO STUDENT RECITAL • • Baird Recital Hall. 12 noon.

No. his line wasn't cut by the budget. And he didn't retire suddenly, or die. He just disappeared. So who is this fat guy. you as k. who T no longer workt,. at the University? He's a- figurative pcrsonna. the combined weight losses of 19 men and one woman who entered a fat oghting con'test in January. Eleven weeks later, they all weighed in - a total of 411 pounds lighter - and the fat man was gone. llack at the beginning of the semester, each of the then-fleshier group of 20 tossed S 100 into a pot. divided up into two teams, set their weight loss goals, and embarked on the path of deprivation, One had 14 pounds to lose, another, 20, and the rest vowed to finish the semester 22 pounds lighter. The members of the team with the most goal-reachers, it was agreed , would be. allowed to draw for first, second, and third prizes. To help them meet their goals, the fat fighters consulted with Darwin Dennison, p"rofessor in health behavipral sciences, anti Lynne A. Groeger, a registered dietitian who ass ists Denniw a ·total son with the nutnuon and behavior course he teaches at UB. She is also an employee of Dl E Systems, a microcomputerized nutrient analysis and diet improvement system devised by Dennison. Interim weigh-ins were held to discourage crash dieting. And on Thursw day, April 10, 1986. at the stroke of noon, the moment of truth ariived. Of the 20 participants in the contest, 14 reached their target weights. according to Walter Kunz, dean of Undergraduate Academic Services. and the initiator of the contest. '"Of th~ six who didn't reach their room , along with two other members of his team whose job it was to drag him out before he passed out. Eleventh hour sweating. and lightweight garments aside. he still was ·a pound and a half over. • The '" precision "' award for the contestant who arrived at the weigh-in at exat·tly 12 o'clock. and who lost exactly 22 pounds. including that critical ounce that was lost by taking off his glasses. • The "'citrus growers" award. presented to the contestant who lost 14 pounds in two and one-half days by consuming only grapefruit. targets. two almost did , and everyone Kunz lost at least half of his or her target,'" he said . · received a box of Godiva chocolates for developing the idea of the contesl . ''but 1 made sure everyone ate it before we left the place." he said . · ·And they began to discuss their next challenge - keeping it off. o celebrate their successes and T award prizes. on April 15 the group had dinner at the Brookoeld Country Club, where '"some people had the largest Sleak possible . .. and no one ordered the diet plate," Kunz said. In addition to the orst. second. and third place cash awards. those achieving unique distinctions were awarded special prizes - chocolate trophies from Antoinette's. These included: • The "last ditch effort" award for the contestant who spent the morning before the final weigh-in in a local of 41_1 pounds ·lighter steam N ~ ow, we're not talking about a sim- ple weight maintenance program. We're talking survivors who. having won the Battle of the Bulge, intend to win the war. This newest contest, slated to begin in May, 1986. and end in May, 1987 (that's right, they have to keep the weight off for a year), is open to all those interested in setting a stable weight goal, backed, of course, by cash incentives. All participants will put S50 into the kitty at the beginning of the competition. · "You set a goal v.eight for yourself, which can't be five pounds more than the weight you achteved as of April lOth.'" Kun7 said. "'Anybody can get into this thing. During May we will establish a target wei~ht (for new contestants) and they wtll be allowed to establish that goal."' Participants will weigh in once a month. '"If you weigh more than your maintenance goal. you will be disqualir.ed. However, you can remain eligible by paying a fine of $10 per pound over your goal weight, up to $25." A year I rom now. those still at their maintenance goal will draw for one of four prizes - 40 per cent, 30 per cent, 20 per cent, or 10 per cent of the pot that has accumulated during the year. Kunz recommended that people joining the contest might want to participate in the DINE system; information ts available by contacting Dennison. The main 11dvantage to the weight control system, and to the contest itself, is the "consciousness raising" that both provide. Kunz said. · '"It teaches you how to eat." he said. " You really think before you put that food in your mouth." 0 �May 1, 1986 Volume 17, No. 29 Last chance FES dean pushes for education reform "T By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO his is the last chance we have to reform our educational system," warned Hugh G. Petrie, dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies at UB. " If we don, , in 10 or 20 years the rising tide of mediocrity will have engulfed us." As a member of the executive board of the Holmes Group, Petrie is pushing for some radical reforms of teacher education and the enhancement of teaching as a profession. The Holmes Group is a loosely configured organization of deans from many of America's foremost education schools. The gro up has invited more than 100 research universities from across the country, including UB, to participate in a research consortium to upgrad e the ed ucation and work of America's teachers. The proposed reforms of the Holmes Group include: • · • • Phase out the undergraduate education major and institute a master'slevel progr~ that would include a year-long paid internship in addition to .student teaching. • Link up universities with school districts to establish hprofessional development schools" that are analoj!OUS to thi: medical prof~ion's teachmg_ hospitals. • Develop a career ladder that would allow teachers to advance with· out being promoted out of !.caching. • Develop a program to test people when entering the teacher training program, when leaving, while in the field. and perhaps at other points as. well. • ~ake a significant commitment to increasing the number of minorities in teacher education programs. ctrie said that the universities must work closely with the school districts, state-level policy-makers. certifi- P grams, but U B has only a certification program or teacher education minor for undergraduates.) The next step in teacher training would be a master's-level program. It woukf include an internship to provide a wide range of experiences for the new teacher, he said. The interns would have rotations in different areas with di(Terent experienced teachers. asting a year, the internship would be longer than student teaching. which usually lasts only eight to 15 weeks, he noted . The internship would be paid, although the intern wouldn' be teaching full-time . Student teaching probably would be retained to help people get their feet wet in teaching, he said. but an internship would be more like the real first year on the job. "One of the things research tells us is thai the first year of teaching is absolutely critical," Petrie said. If a 1eacher happens to get in a good chool where he or she is taken under the wing of an experienced teacher, he may do very well. If the new teacher isn't that lucky, he may not do well. As in a hospital internship. these teaching interns would be supervised L '-'If we don't radically reform the system now, . and enhance the ~rr..;-cg~~a~h:~~~~~ ~~~i'cts~ould, be Petrie pointed out. teaching profession, butThisNewcostYorkmoney, State has already made money available for such a program. the rising tide of One of the promising signs is that across the country money is being mediocrity will made available for similar ventures. "There's a chance the policy makers engulf us . ... " see the desirability of these kinds of cation bodies, and teachers' unions. "It will do us absolutely no good to give teachers these ski lls, then send them out to a workplace where conditions are as poor as they are," he said. "Teachers need to be able to do more th iln close the classroom door and do the same thing on the last day they taught as they did on the first day. Colleges of education are saying they can't do this by themselves." The proposed reforms would fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. the dean ex plaiped . "First, a would-be teacher would get an undergraduate del!ree with a liberal arts major in somethang that he would teach in school, for example, math. The ondergraduatc major in teaching would be phased out. (This ste p wouldn' be as radical a change_for U B as it would be for Big Ten schools. Petrie noted . The Big Ten hav<"large undergraduate teaching pro- reforms," Petrie satd. The internship would take place in a "profes.-ional development scho'<ll," similar to a medical teaching hospital. These would be real sohools, not universit y laboratories. Petrie said. Research universities would hook up with interested schoo l districts to rorm working partnerships. W ork ing within this framework would be different levels of teachers. A ··career professional teacher'" would be capable of assuming r<:sponsibility not only within the classroom but also at the school level. Candidates for this level wo uld be those who had been teaching for a number of years and had demonstrated their competence, Petrie said. The univers-ities would provide advanced studies, roughly at the doctoral level. These people~could become mentor teachers and supervise interns. They could become depart~! chairs or do peer coaching and help teachers tmprove their instruccional techniques. At a second level would be the "professional teacher," one who had completed the master's-level training. He or she would be a fully autonomous professional in the classroom. An ''instructor" would be prepared to deliver instruction under the supervision of a career professional teacher. Another reform suggested by the Holmes Group is to develop an extensive performance testing program. "This wouldn) be the multiple choice kind of test you're hearing about now," Petrie said. " It would be based much more on performance. We'll try to work with experts across the country to develop suitable kinds of evaluations." he Holmes Group is also looking at curriculum development for teach'er training. Over the last 10 or 20 years, a significant body of research, some of which is even counter-intuitive. has been compiled on what makes good teaching, Petrie said. · "We want to pull it together in a rigorous and i nt e~rated way anQ make sure that that kmd 9f knowledge is taught to would-be teachers," he said. "The latest research should really be incorporated into teacher training programs." The liberal arts faculties of universities also need to get their houses in order, according to a critical report issued by the group. The liberal arts major often presen ts merely a set of techniques to undergraduates or offers preparation for graduate stud y, he ex plained, rather than focusing on deep fundamental ideas. There is nothing to help the undergraduate sec how specialized disciplines come together, which · is especially important for elementafy-level teachers. The report calls for liberal arts faculties to develop approaches to help teachers put it all together. T t's important to note that the chief academic officers of institutions, not just deans of education, are being asked to jointly commit their institution s to the research consortium, Petrie said, because th e reforms involve the whole insti tuti on. The decision at UB is up to Petrie and Provost William Greiner. Petrie said he anticipates the provost will agree to join. The invitation to UB to join the ~on­ sortium does not mean this University is en tering an adversarial relattonship with other local teachers colleges, such I Dean Hugh Petrie as Buffalo State or Canisius, Petrie sa id . U B was invited because it offers doctoral-level research while the others just do teacher training, be explained. The universities that were invited produce only 20 per cent of the teachers in the nation, he added . Once the research is co mpleted, there's no mandate lhat ot\er colleges must adopt the findings. Petrie said. But if somethin g is found that works , other colleges may choose to usc it. Petrie said the response he has received from virtually every fa.c uhy member, teacher, and school board member he has discussed the proposed reforms with is that they sound great, but will. they work? After all. they've never been tried before. "Well, let's do it then," Petrie said enthusiastically. " If everybody's con- "One proposal is to phase out the current undergrad major in education and replace it with a master's program with a year -long paid internship. " vinced it's a good idea, and that it will radically improve teaching, then just because we've never done it before is no reason not to try. " mea n a very ambitioUs, longItial.ttermwill effort, but it's absolutely essenhe said. Up until 10 years ago, the school system could be run "on the cheap" by exploiting bright women and minorities. "But demographics don' allow us to staff the way we did in the past," he said. While there are good social reasons for that, it's going to damage the educational system if we try to just put warm bodies in the classroom rather than make teaching more attractive. Without refo(tns, Petrie sees the dropout rate worsening and the whole system falling apart. Even though reforms -can be expensive, we can't afford to jusl muddle through. What it comes down to. he says, is ...yo can pay me now or you can pay me later." 0 �Three researchers, including himself, interviewed retired Air Force personnel UFOs independently and were told the same thing: in 1967 ·and 1975.

Hastings claims that retired military personnel have offered sworn affidavits that they were involved in similar recovery operations. He also referred to Victor Marchetti's book The CIA and rhe Cull of Intelligence. According to Hastings, · Marchetti stated in 1979 that while he was an assisf~nt under CIA Director Richard Helms, the CIA was involved in recovering the wreckage of ships that contained non-human bodies. However. the Reporrer could find no reference to such incidents in Marchetti's 1974 book . Has tings also recommended the book Clear Intent by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J .

This COB provision preven ts duplicate payments and over_P.ayments by insurance plans: payments wall never exceed 100% of a charge. For uample, if you or your dependents are covered by an additional group health insurance program, your State Health Insurance Plan will coordinate benefit payments with that other program. One program will pay its full benefit as the primary insurer of the patient and the other program will pay secondary benefits. if and when needed . Question: How would I know who the primary insurer Is tor myself and my dependents? Answer. The primary insurance carrier for you would be the plan that you carry through UB. Your spquse's phin would be your )eCOndary insurer. Your deetndent children's primary insurance earner would be the plan that the father carries (unless the father has individual covcra~e), with the mother~ plan as the secondary msurer. Question: What Is the major purpose of the Coordination of Benefits provision? Answer. Coordinating benefits helps to contain the cost of health care while saving you some out-of-pocket expenses when balances remain after one carrier has made its claim payment. Both the State and the employee benefit trom such manl'gement.

I .t's been referred 'cosmic to as Watergate' a and I tliink that's a highly appropriate analogy,'' Robert Hastings told the audience of about 100 people gathered in Knox J.,ecture Hall. April 22. In a speech sponsored by the undergraduate Student Association, Hastings declared that unidentified nying objects do exist and th at the highest levels of mili1ary and intelligence agencies have been conce rned about them for years. However. these groups have waged a campaign of secrecy about the sightings to av.oid public panic, Hastings asserts. •· Persons at very high levels are being faced with significan t information and deciding th at you and I should be kep t in th e dark about it ."' he said . While not condemning aRy particular agency fo r secrecy, he called the policy "shortsighted." As 'l,n " Air Force brat" in 1967 . Hastings said he was at the air traffic control tower at Malmstrom Air Force Ba.\,C in M ontana when he was involved in a sighting that remains confidential to this day. He ·and the military personnel there saw five objects that 'were clocked at 4.800 miles per ho ur far faster than any U. S. or Soviet aircraft. Hastings said. ·The objects hovered and a..~ ccndcd in u n i ~ on . While being tracked. they maneuvered o ver nuclear silos ncar the base. The incident made qu ite an impresstqn on Hastings. In 1973. he started interviewing retired military personnel and researching the subject of UFOs a~ a very serious hobby. Since 1981. he's been doing research and speaking on the to pic full time. · A media specialist and photographer by profession. Hastings worked at Northern Illinois University from 1973 to 1981. A supervisor in the film library there told the Reporter that Hastings was an everyday type of person who started his UFO work while in Illinois. · I' By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO orate practical joke. I assure yo u it's none of those things." Hastings said his information came fro m declassified government documents. from documents obtained through lawsuit. and from mililary personnel. In 1969, the government and military ·declared that they had no further in terest in the phenomenon of U FOs. But A astings claims that, instead, the information hOb been secret!)' dircl:ted to the CIA, the White House. and the National Security Agency, an agency -so secret that even its charter is classified. • According to the documents, Hastings said. the CIA has conducted a campaign to convince the public that U FOs arc ordinary objects that were misidentified. It 's an effort to minimize. public concern. and possible panic. The documents also revealed that there were sightings around military bases. research and development areas. and atomic energy facilities. he said. "There are enough nuclear-related cases to ind icate (the U FOs) are highly interested in .our weapons capabilities, .. he said . "for what reason they're interested . I don 't know," n the slide presentation Hastings IHistory" produced. he outlined 'The Hidden of UFOs. · . The first wave of sightings came in 1947 when people in every state but Georgia and West Virginta reported seeing UFOs. The objects were disk.shaped. hovered. and moved at incredible speeds. They were seen by the pub- ~~~db~i'e ~~~~~('ffci~ti~n~~;C:tro~ii~ sites. Th<lloflicial word was that they were just natural phenomena. such as solar renections from clouds. But in a rililitary letter wdtten in 1947 and finally decl assified 20 years later. they were ~i~~~~.... real .. an~t visionary or ficti.F.

A n:port written in 1948 concluded th~t UFOs are interplanetary space- W with authority during a well-organized ell-groomed and ·dressed in a . dark suit and tie. Hastings spoke presentation at UB. Even if his claims seem outrageous, as a person he appears quile rational not the crackpot one might expect. ··r•m presenting this on a take-it-orleave-it basis.'' Hasti ngs told the UB audience. ""rm not a missionary: I'm not seeking converts or believers ... He prefaced his slide presentation this way: "What you're about to sec and hear you might think is science fiction, paranoid delusion , or perhaps an elab- ships for investigation of our world for some unknown rea o n. Hastings said. It was di:cidcd that the matter should be kept a secret and a ~ hort time later a press release was is ued saying that UFOs are a h"oax. he charged. . . In 1953, the CIA took over the matter of U FOs. A group. called the Robe.rtson panel wanted a secret campaign .on th e debunking. of UfOs to reduce public interest. The Air Foree &et up formal procedures to report UFO and fo rbade, release of the informa tion to the press. he said. An order called "JANA P.).46" e>tablished a top-sec'ret cha niief foi all military pilots to report on U FOs while they were still in the air. rather than wait until they landed . The Pentagon also decided to impose the order on commercial l?ilots. The pilots protested. but the airhnes agreed · to the order. Under espionage law. violation carries se'erc penalties. n the 1950s. many incidents of , alleged contact with UFO occupants were reported. but were concluded to be hoaxes. However. one incident from the fall of 1961 is regarded by many researchers to be: genuine. H&ting said , Two people named Betty and Barney Ho ll were driving tn rural New Hampshire when they sav. a FO and heard a beeping sound . The ne" thing the~ kncv. , they were mile~ dov. n the road and couldn't account for two hours of time. Through time-regression hypnosis. the couple reconstructed the mb~ing time. Thev ;aid th ey were taken aboard a spaceship by alien being:.. given medical exams. and shown a map of the aliens' home b:lse and other solar systems. The Hills satd they were told by th e aliens that they would not remember their experience. A radar report said that a UFO was spotted at the time and place claimed by the Hills. Hastings said . The largest wave of sigh tings took place in 1965 and included a ew York State incident, he said. U FOs were reported over New York City, a Niagara Falls power plant, and a Syracuse power relay station. · At the time of the Syracuse sighting, a massive power failure occurred which was blamed on a broken relay in a Canadian power plant. But Hastings a~serts that a later inves tigation revealed that the relay was not broken: it had been tripped by a power surge. The only paper that tried to follow up on the story was reprimanded by the CIA.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"He'd go down in history as one of the world's greatest peacemakers." Bowman claims the President was sold on SOl by a group of "civilian ideologues," not by people fmm the aerospace industry or from the military. These sam'e people are telling him to " hang tough" o n "Star Wars" at all costs. he said. · ~I Advocating that the American people should stop' SDI by convincing Congress to top funding C1f the testing of · these weapons, Bowman said that would give "some future president th~ ·opportunity to end the arms race. "And. by the way, I'm confident that one day sire will," he added. Star Wars Bowman claims it's an offensive ploy :,s By DAVID C. WEBB tar Wars" critic Robert M . Bowman believes that the proposed Strategic· Defense In itiative is not a defensive shirtd at all, but a group of offensive weapons disg~ised a a defense. Advocates of SOl have presented the space weapons system as a peace· shield thot will protect the United States in I the event of n nuclear first strike from the Soviet U n_ion. President Reagan said that the shield will render nuclear weapons ''impo~nt and obsolete." .Speaking to an audience of about 200 people in US's Knox Hall on April 18. Bowman said that high-energy laser be - u~ed to destroy cities. "Recent Department of Defense weapons might studies h<HC shown that . before a laser battle >tat ion is good enough to be really useful against bttllisuc missilc!s. it will be: powerful enou9h to incinerate cities in minutes. causmg the kind of firestorms that consumed Dresden and Hamburg and Tokyo in World War II." he said·. Kinetic energy weapons (s0 phistjcatcd "rock throwers ') cou ld also be turned against the surface of the earth with dcvast~ting effect. "The Air Force ha.!. done stud ies that show that a few pounds of metal - no explosi"e~ at all. just a few pounds of metal properly shaped fired at the earth (P.crhaps with an electromagnelic rail gun) would be able to impact, causing a crater lilo.e a meteor. with the destructive potential of a hydrogen bomb. and that such sys tem~ can be accura&c enough ilnd powerful enough to de· stroy hardened military targets," Bowman s:.~id . A former director of the Air Force's Advanced Space Program Development , Bowman was the first speaker 1n a series of talks and panel discussions that continu.ed through April 19 on the topic of "Star Wars, the Arms Race and the Universi ty." The conference was sponsored by the National Coali· tion for Universities in the Public Interest and others. The conference focused on criticism of the SD I program that was introduced by President Reagan in 1983.

After 23 years here, th e las t six as chair of UB's well-regarded Psychology Depanment, Katkin will poll up stak.es and head fo r the rolling hills of rural Long Island. T here, he will anempt to "rebuild " Stony Brook's dep.anmenl with a team of new researchers that he will recruit. ' Stony Brook hired him. specifically fo r !hal purpose, he relayed, and promised him that he wo uld .get the necessary funds to attract top level·senio r and j un io r fac ulty - people who could eventua lly propel ~he depan menl into the nationa.l academic arena. As for his replacement at Buffalo, Katkin advised that a number of in- S house candida tes have been scouted, but no official decision has been announced. Katkin, recently promoted to leading professor here and a nationally prominent researcher in the fields of btofeedback and psychophysiology, will gel a heft y raise in salary from Stony Brook. But money wasn't the main attraction, he said. Rather a "combination of factors" led him to accept the offer, not the least of which is Stony Brook's .. commitment to the social sciences" which its administ ration is prepared to back" " ith funding . Says Katkin :. " What I've recei~ed from the admi nistra tion at Buffplo is \cry ih.!.pirational rhetoric about the centrality of the arts and sciences. but not a nickel to hack it up. The fact is that over the 23 yea rs I've been here, the Social Sc1cnces Faculty has become stronger and stronger but has gotten smaller and smaller, receiving limited resources and very shabby treatmenL ·· allows T heKatkinjob toat stayStonywithinBrookthe SUNY system , but most importantlY., it enables his wife, Wendy, to make a significant career mO\'e. Currently she is assistant to the vice provost for research and graduate education here; at Stony Brook , she will move up to assistant vice provost , and like her husband , will receive a sizable pay boost. Last but not least, their relocation down~tale will bring the Katkins geographically closer to their two collegeage children who attend Princeton and Yale. Before commining lo Stony Brook, Katkin turned down a job offer as dean a t a private, well respected research university and an offer from a large public research institution in. the southwest. In interviewing for these positions, he realized he dido\ want to forsake his research and student co ntacts for administrative duties. He subsequently concluded th at being a depanme nt chair is as high up the adniiJ1islrative ladder as he cares to 'go. that his absence is bound 10 hurt the unit 's national visibility. He maintains that any hole he leaves will be adequately filled by the additi on of a ··v~ ry distinguished seniJ'r scholar" wh·ose contract is still being negotiated.

Pulling it succinctly, None of these appointments has been jeopardized by hts leaving, Kat kin says. The reason is th at "the department is solid .. and its national reputation is strong, panic ul arly in clinical, cognit ive, and social psychology. · Tho fac t that UB can attract this caliber of professionals speaks highly for his department, K at ki~oints out , as d oes the fact that an increasing ·number of graduate students are securing highly competitive tenure track posi tion~ at some of the nation·s most prestigious institutions. During the past fo ur ye~rs, fo r example, two graduates i n clinical psyc hology - Debbie Kraeme r and J ack Tebe~ have la nded jobs at Yale. Two others, Dan Klei n and Marie Morell, were hired. ·respect ively, by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and UCLA. "Our clinical program is strongly · committed to' turning out leadership people, not just practitioners, so we can influence the field," Katkin noted. Other psychology grad uate stud~ n ts have fou nd jobs in business and industry, including, such blue chip companies as General Electric and IBM . K "It won 't be a picnic, but the potential is there. The administration is committed to social sciences." the unit is "huning for leadership," Katkin remarks, addi ng that his move there is viewed by some as the department's "last best hope." "I'm not walki ng into a picnic," he acknowledges, .. but my impression is that the department has the potential to be truly outstandin$. Most importantly,· there's an admmistrative com- ... mitment to support the social sciences. which I don\ see here." K atkin denies that his departure will have any adverse effect on the UB department, though others would argue hough Psyc holog y at U B has be proud of, so me T much are necessary, in Katkin's view. 10 chan~es if it ts ev!r to reach its goal of becoming a .. major laborator y science depanment." First, Katkin believes the depanment must be "relie~ed of the burden of tarrying the Social .Sciences with regard to enrollments." He explained that when en rollments in the Faculty were shrinking, Psychology was arm-twisted into launching a large-scale master's degree program. although the department was " phillisophically opposed" 10 t)le notion because it "didn't fit with any logical. or coherent educational goal .. of the unit. Simultaneously, the department accepted larger classes of clinical students than it could adequately suppon. .. But we did it," Katkin said. "and it is costly to u in energy, time, and facilities. we·re doing it in order to keep the Faculty of Social Sciences solvent. My concern · is why; why can' the campus administration allocate their resources differently?" Psychology has lo ng been a drawing . card for graduate students, he ex plained, and is strong enQugh to attract . them without giving financial stipends. The increase in these graduate students bas put a "tremend ous burden" on a · unit whose faculty numbe rs have been severely depleted. Each clinical st ud ent must submi t three researc h papers wh ich are tantamount to .. mini-theses, .. Katki n noted, indica t ing t ha t t he requirement involves a considerable amount of fac ulty ti me and energy. nd Albany can't be blamed for ·the · workload situation, he emphasized. The decis ion·s which created the problem and can rec1ify it - are campus-level decisiOns. · "My impression over the years has been that Albany is always !lie villain when sOmething goes wrong. and nev~r the hero when things go well." It wasn't Albany that decided to "reallocate 13 lines from Psycl)91og_ .. ltver the past decade. Katkin said. And w~ile he recognizes that there were reasons for the reallocations, he can't help but think "there are many weaker departments at the niversity that could have been donors ... So ijow is it that Stony Brook can afford to beef up its Psychology Department. and UB can't? Katkin can only offer an "educated guess:" Stony Brook has no school of manag,ment, law or architecture and only a small program in engineering heavily impacted areas. here that have received additional lines to meet student demand . ; Another barrier that must be overcome for tta e UB department to enhance its national image is lack of floor space, Katkin noted. The space alloned to PsychoiO$Y in its future home. Park Hall, IS "disgracefully inadequate,~· he said. The unit needs twice its allotment, Katkin advises, and predicts that within five years the administration will have either to .. split the department" or remove others from Park to make room for it. Katkin officially relinquishes his job here at the ' end of the semester, but plans to return as an adjunct professor once a month for at l east~ the next year to confer with his fo ur advanced graduate students. Though he is excited about his new challenge at Stony Brook (and his new home located on a nearby harbor), Katkin admits that his departure has bittersweet elements. He leaves behind a host of friends and respected colleagues and even more good memories . He may even come to miss .. the Ridge." 0 A Guide.lines set for complaints about administrators uidelines on handling complaints against administrative officers have been developed by !he provost in con!ultation with the deans and Faculty Senate chairman. · This policy will fill in the gaps left by two other policies. explained Claude Welch, chairman of the Facnlty Senate. The first policy, the Un ited University Professions (UU P) grievance procedure, covers contract disputes, he said. Th·e second , the Faculty Senate's standing orders. covers complaints of one faculty member against ano ther. excluding contract disputes. The new policy covers dispu tes that • faculty . staff, or students may have with a dt~ n or chairm:m, 'iaid Provost G William Greiner. The procedures might be used if a faculty member didn't like something that was put in his personnel file, the provost explained. Or; a student might tum to these procedures if he or she didn\ like the way he was treated by a faculty member and gained no satisfaction through the dean. These procedures would not be invoked in judgment matters, Greiner said . For instance, disagreement between a faculty member and chairman over which piece of equipment to buy is not the basis for usmg these procedures.

The provost shall provide for the review and resolution of complaints against deans and members of the provost's staff. No party may reson to a higher level of review without fitst exhausting remedies available at all prior levels of review.

Or are they? Ability tests SATs. ACTs, GREs, LSATs. MSATs. MATs. and a host of • oth ers - are facing increasi ng debate as critics question the validity of the results a nd what they are supposed to measure. The consensus at UB is that the problem with a bili ty tests is not posed by the tests themselves as much as it is by the way the resul ts of these tests are interpreted . "The tests are not limited . It's how they OjfC used." according to Lawrence K. Kojaku , assistant vice University Services. Standardized . ability testing originated in France in the late 1800s with the Binet -Simon scale of in telligence more commonly known as the IQ test. The theory behind the test was si mple: ability could be measured by testing a sa mple of the ability. .Wjdespread use of stand a rdi zed tests began in this country after World War I. ";hen educators, faced with increasing numbers of students continuing and completing their educations. discovered a need for an "objective .. means of evaluation. Standardized testing increased funher to meet the needs of the pbstWorld War II baby boom . And today. nearly a century after their ince ption, the average stud ent will face standardized ability tests anywhere from six to 12 times before he or she graduates from high school: a child who falls outside what is considered to be the norm in terms of school performance. ~oc ioeconomic status. mother tongue, or who has a handicapping condi- According to the National Research Council report. no.

Tests can provide reasonably good ind ications of whether an individual can read and comprehend ce rta in materials or whether he or she can solve certain types of mathetnatical, mechanical, or other problems.

Coaching is a more co ntroversial fac· tor. Many argue th at coaching is effective only fo r reducing test anxiet y or increasing test-wise ness. Others claim that th eir techniques can raise scores on . for example, the Scholastic Ab il ity Teso (SAT) by as much as 200 points. but say little or nothing abo ut enhanc· ing the abilitic the tests are meant to measure. And. according to the report , ··coac hing effects that inc rease test scores but not the abilitie~ they arc intended to measure .. . affect the validity of a test." Bias is another common cri ticism leveled again~t sta nd ardized tests. The most ardent op pone nts complain th at ability tests are slan ted toward the white male middle clas~ portion of our po pu la tion . ma~ing it impossible for anyo ne ou tside that group to co mpete. Others argue that while differences in tc t scores arc noticeable. the a lso are negligible. · . "' Wh~n ability tests. are oaken by differe nt groups 1n ' the population (e.g .• men, women, children of parents with diffe rent socioeco no mi c statu s. blacks.

In addition, the si1c of the differe nces between group averages is usually s mall compared to the variability among individuals wit hin a si ngle g roup." according to the RC re po rt. S orne of the mo re notable differences cited in the report include: sodoecnomk staws. with children of ONS: ISKI mance on the job as the tests they were intended to' replace, with group differences found to be of a magnitude similar to the commonly-used standardized tests. "The simple existence of group dif· ferences in avera_ge performance on tests is often taken to imply that tests are biased. It is assumed that one group is not inherently les able than the other and that ti\_C tests are su p· r.osed to measure inherent ability. Even tf the first of these assumptions is correct , the seco nd certainly is not. .. . A test can only measure developed ability ar· a given point in time; and the level of de ve lopment depend s on a combina· tion of factor • including heredity and expe rience," says the RC repo11 .

" Wh at is th e (SAT) test for? The test. is to predict perfo rmance in college." said K<>jaku. ''The tes t score says a person's abilities fall into a ce nain range ... "That can be a mixed blessi ng in tl1e earliest testing sit uations. those th at occur in eleme nt ary and . secondary >chool, and mold a child's future academic experiences. "Education has come to be treated . .. as-a measurable. quantitative product. with tests the (avored ins trument of measurcmeru of the product." accoi-d ing to the NRC' repo11 . Ofte n, th e expectat ions placed on the education process, as a result of the ideals of testing. arc: unrealistic. "As a ma tte r of govern men tal policy and public expectation. the Uni ted S tates expects ed ucati on to be a major instrume nt of social change. placing on sc hoo ls. :idministrawrs. teachers, and pupils the task .of reversing t he effects of poverty, disadvantage. and discrimination ," the re port ays. This can place an unfair burde n on the limitatio ns of ability testing, at the worst ex treme. However, these idealistic expectations can. and sometim es do , perfo rm the way socie ty wo uld like them to. "The teacher is as likely to usc cues such as dress, language. and other classroom-linked information as (he or she is to use) test data. Testing see ms to innuencc placeme nt decisions when a score ind icates hig her abili ty oh an the teacher anticipated . Thus, when used fo r grouping. tests occasionally provi de a n 'extra cha nce' for some children." · the RC report indicated. Likewise, the importance of standardized tests as they apply to college students also may be misleading. " Realistically, test scores (and GI'As) are likel y to be a barrier only to th at small group of applicants who want to attend the most selective colleges and universi ties; few students with a high school diploma fail to find an inst itution to accept t·hem. In that sense, public perce ption of the importance of high sco res on the SAT or ACT is mislea~ing: most ap plicants are admitted to the college or university of their choice." according to the report. Here at UB. standardized test scores are only one of a three-part select-ion process. according to Kojaku. SAT scores are given equal importance in comparison with high school grade point average and class rank in determining whether a student will be admitted to the Universiiy. . "The combination of those three is the best predicto r," he said. " I guess the stro ngest is ra nk in class. b.ut th at is somew hat con troversial. too ...

C," contest by margins of 22~ and 4'3 respectively. 0 UB's 'Turtles' ready for upstate tourney By FRANK BAKER T he UB Mad Turtles Rugby Club, the University's most successful team over the past five years and winners of last spring's Upstate Rugby' Tournament (com par~ble to the state championship), returned to their winning ways Saturday in an 18-4 drubbing of the visi ting Rochester l'nstitute of Technology Roaches. The RIT match, played on the Amherst Campus behind the Engineering buildings. started out on a sour note, as lhe visitors marched down field and scored a try, similar to a touchdown in football , to take an early ~lead. However, the Mad Turtles stormed back and evened the score at 4-4 when Sal Savrese bulled his way into the try zorre. U B continued to dominate the tlrst half. but was unable to score. Versatile Scott l..cfko-.~u. a so phomore eightman (a very important position which require th at he step over the ball when it ,co mes out of the pack while still pushing for all he's worth), and senior Doug "Macho Man" Eberle. playing opposi te S"avrcse at prop (a sort of offen sive lineman type of job). controlled the serum tltroughout the half. Jeff Umland, the UB hooker, whose job is to toe the ·ball out of the pack, wa~ able to win most hooks. leading to the Turtles' domination in the half. RIT mounted one threat , but was thwarted when sophomore fullback Tim Burns made a try-s aving tackle. From the outset of the second half. Buffalo was able to· control the now of play. thanks to the crisp passing of sen ior co-captain Sean Perrin at serum· half (a linebacker-like posit ion) to sophomore sensation Steve Molloy at Oy-half (a position re<juiring running. passing, and kicking abtlity). The hardhitting of George "the Animal" $weikert and Mark Wachtel, playing the wing forward positions, where strength is a must, also helped the Turtles put . the game out of reach early in the second half. The two speedy centers combined on On the rugby field, the play Is hard and so's the parlylng. U B's next score. Outside center Steve Juda took a pass from inside cemer and co-captain Jim Walier, made two nifty cuts, and scampered into the try zone. The two-point extra point was missed again, and U B held an 8-4. advantage. Next to score was \Valier, who ran right through the porous RIT backtleld , dodged two would-be tacklers, and touched the ball down. Savresc was good on this extra point attempt , and the score stood at 14-4. FSEC okays appeals system for professional students' complaints he Faculty Senate Executive Committee recently endorsed .new appeals procedures for professio nal sc hool tudcnt grievances. Robert Daly. a»ociatc dean of the Graduate School. explained that an attempt was made to keep the process si mple and direct. .. We tried to streamline th r. process rath er than provide for every possible . co ntingency:· h~ said. According to the preamble of the procedUres. the appeals process is fo.r the rare occasions when all establ ished procedures within a professional school have been exhausted.lt may be ap propriate for the vice provost for research and grad uate education to consider a fi nal University appea l on behalf of the provost. In general. the vice provost will consider appea ls based on a question of the way the process was hand led. rather than on a disagreement over the actual decision that was reached. "This leaves the vice provost out of having to pass on every 'F' and 'D'," Daly explained. "Pebple would appeal them all the way up ... T Lawyers arc not allowed in the process because ''it's against our tradi tion to turn it in to an adversarial situation rig ht at the beginning," he said. It also slowJ; down the process. A bo ut five .or six case!:. have progre.!lsed and ·arc now in the law suit stage, he noted. "'These cases hang around a long time:· Dalv said . "One student has been grieviOg for three years and it lpoks like it11 be good for a decade." An example of the issues disputed is Student who griev~d a grade and won. but was later dismissed from school and feels th ere'!:. a cause and effect relationship. Most of the cases come up in the law and medical schools. he said in answer to a question . Those students feel the stakes are much higher and they sue for what they mig ht have earned. "If we dismiss someone from English. We increase his chances of earni ng a good li vi ng," q~ipped Daly, who is also an associate professor in English . In other Faculty Senate business.

Final score: UB 18RIT 4. The team -agreed that o_ne of the reasons for UB's ability to control the game was that they were able to win many more hooks and li ne-outs than in the previous ,game against the Rochester Aardvarks. Sophomore Doug Flynn, a former Roach turned Turtle. and Ken Bankow, the two second-row players, contributed heavily to UB's winning of the line-outs. U B made it a clea n swee p of R IT by winning both the .. 8 ,.,. or second team n the previo us Saturday, UB travelled to Rochester where they were treated rathe r harth ly .by the host Aard varks, as all th ree UB teams were beaten. The Aard va rks, a highly ranked men's team fresh off a· European to ur, got all they could ha ndle in the "A" game "gainst the T urtJes, but were able to withstand the onslaught and win 13-10. • . A combination of good running, good kicking, and hard 11 itti nt; got the Rochester tea m o ut to a 1 0~ lead, but then the Turtles stormed bacic. Led by senior club president Keh Rocke 's · score, Buffalo cut the lead. to 10-4.Roehester ,addecl a tleld goal to take a 13-4 lead , but •·1as not to get close to another score for tbe rest of the day. UB trimmed the 'lead to 13-8 when Molloy took a beautiful pass f~om • sophomore Matt McCarthy, and rumbled into the try zone. Savrese added the extra points and the score. stood at 13-10. The game then went back and forth with neither team able to grab ' an advantage until Walier broke loose from the Rochester 22-meter line and headed for the try ZQ~nfortunat ely, in a freak plaf, UB's hopes ot victory we re dashed when Walier was hit from behind , thrown into the goal posts. the ball knocked loose, and recovered by Rochester. The final minutes were furious and hard-hitting, but neither team was able to score. Rochester escaped with a hard-fought 13- 10 victory. In o ne of the hardest-hitt ing games of the year that · saw five Rochester players leave t~e field with varioes mjuries. UB's " B" team was defeated 19-14. Rochester's "C" team was also . victorious, winning by a 10-4 count. As is the custom, aJtcr both games the host team threw a party for the visitors, complete with food, beer, singing and general raucous activity. The Rochester party was a bit prudish by rugby standards, but UB's bash for RIT more than made up for it. RIT and UB sang old favorites such as "Chicago," "Swing Low," and "The S&M Man" while downing five kegs of frosty brew. Need less to say. a good ti me was had by all. The Mad Turtles' season comes to a close this coming Saturday and Sunday, whev the "A" a.~d "B" side teams travel to Albany, seeded sixth of 24 teams, to defend their upstate title. According to Sweikert and Eberle, UB is ready. "Turtle-mania will prevail," they chorused. 0 Tests ·From page 9 "Within I0 to 15 years. there is going to be an increase in the number of minority students, and they may not have equal opportunit y in terms of high school preparation," he add ed. o what is a society that advocated Horatio Alger principles to S..Americans. have. on whole, do'! the expected too much of tests and converse ly. have blamed too much on tests. People ha ve wa nted tests to provide social justice. to be •fair' in some absolute sense. And. when disappointed in the results of the testing process. people have charged them with being 'unfair.' wi th producing inequality." lnsteaH , the Nattonal Research Council says. "when people stop thinking of tests as panaceas or using them as scapegoats, when they understand that t estin~ is a useful, but limited. means of es timating one of the characteristics of interest in selecting or asses ing people, i.e., ability or talent, then a good part of the tonnict _about testing will be alleviated." Conven tional ability ·testing requ ires a style that does not show some people and some groups to thei r best advantage. and neglects some skills such as performing cooperative tasks. ahhough the abilit y to work well with others is highly val ued . The shortcomings of ability teSting probably arc not as significant as the problems that are caused by inappropriate test use ...The distance between la boratory conditions and everyday use may sometimes be so great that test users are buying peace of mind rather than scientific selection." the NRC report contends. -Ability test results, unl ike other data, have lim ited depen· d abi lity and significance, yet those who use test results do not always keep the limitations in mind . .. . People who rely on test data as sufficient in themselves often oversimplify eyen more drastically by reducing test info rmati on to a label. " One means of limiting this problem was suggested in an early report by th e College Board, compilers of the SAT. Their rule of thumb recommended that ..test &cores are more certain indi~ of ability than disability. A high score in the test is significant. A low score may or may not be significant.., 0 �April 24, 1986 Volume 17, No. 28 ~ Moynihan will address Law S~hool graduation U.S. Senator Damcl P.

"The audience is wider; it's massive and invisible,'' he says. ''Aad10 is tnstantaneous, 11 doesn't take years to get 'discovered' as it does in print. It's also dtfficult to translate the words I hear in my head and to present them on the radio. A lot has to do with the quality of the sounds which 1s different when I speak them . You have to have a perception of how your voice translates for others." He also recognizes the power of radio as the medium to reach everyone because it cuts across age and special interest boundaries. Twitchell 's commentaries take listeners on a journey Jhrough Buffalo, from chain restaurants to shopping malls, to observing.llfe in the country. Twitchell himself enjoys breaking away from the life of reading ~nd thinking necessary in his role as a professor. and invites listeners to discover a quieter, simpler worid through his words. �ALL THINGS CONSIDERED • Anniversary Chain ·letter ctor/comedian Gene Wilder is kicking off a national chain letter to celebrate th8 tSth anniversary of National Public Radio's award-winning daily newsmagazine All Th ing s Considered. The program is heard on WBFO/FM88 weekdays at 5 p.m. Wilder is an avid All Thi ngs Con- side red fan and a regula ! listener. The chain letter, which takes advant(lge of the old maxim that word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind. marks the program·sanniversary while drawing listeners into the public radio system's campaign to expand its audience. Listeners are asked to send copies of the letter, which describes the prog ram, to ten of their friends, who are asked to send copies of the letter to ten of their friends, and so on . The hallmark of "ATC," as it is called by insiders, is its presentation of in-depth news and analysis, mixed with commentary, interviews, arts features, human interest stories, wit, and humor. " If you already listen to ATC, you're Probably hooked on it," says the leuer •.which is signed by Wilder. "If you don't,'' the letter continues , " you don't know what you' re miss- i ng, and this letter has found its way to the· right person.'' Says Wilder, " I've long been an AU Things Con&Jdered fan and I'm delighted to hel p kick off this national chain letter. All Things Conlldered does a wonderful job of covering the news, but it's also a lot of fun. and this letter is consistent with the spirit of the program."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Chodrow contend~ that people in 1 Y PI RG and SA arc sttll m1ffcd by the fact that the Republicans went mer SA'!<~ head to the StudentWide Judiciar) (SWJ) to have the proposition placed o n the ballot for the March election~. According to Chodro". th e SA Senate and A.scmbly resisted putting t h e anti~NYP J RG proposal on the ba ll ot even though those opposing NYP I RG funding secu red the req uired !)ignat ures of 10 per cent of the student body. Chodrow said SA accused . the Committee Against Studen t Exploitation a nd the College Republicans of "deceitful tactics" in obtaining those signatures. SWJ decided otherwise. nstead of barring the Republicans at this point. Verdolino s uggested that the Se nate should more appropriately put the group " on hold" and then investigate them before arriving at a decision on their status.

There has never been real evidence against us. It is just a matter of interpretation of the election rules.

We welcome your comments. President responds to faculty letters about athletics EDITOR'S NOTE: The following let· fer was sent by President Sample in response to two •!elfers he rece1ved from faculty members about the pro· · posed upgrading of the mtercoflegiate athletiC progrf!m. We thought 11 would be of mterest to the Umvers1ty co!'lmumty. hank you for yo ur recent letters rega rding the reco mmendalions !>Y lhe ln1ercollegia1e Alhlehc Board 10 upgrade lhe athletic program at our University. Let me assure you in th e stro ngest po~~iblc terms that I would not tolerate a ny com promise of thi s Universi ty's standard:, of admission. nor wou ld I support any reco mm endation. from any !tOurcc.:. that would undermine tlJc qual ity of o~r undergraduate student body. l-am exlremcly proud of SU Y· Buffalo's reputation rut a leading rc~e arch untversity. and 'the academi~ qualifications of o ur students are an C!<>!<!ential element in tha t rcputatiQ.n. It j, abo a fact that virtually all the firstranked public research uni\'crsi tic ~ in th" countr~ have maJor ~ports prog ram !~ , and ~ nrn not aw;uc of any qud) showing that th e pre!'lencc of \Ul·h program~ impede~ the att:.tinmc:nt of the highc't t.~uality in acadcmi performance. Moreover. almnst all the lv\ League unl\er!<!itles have Dt\'ision I • sport' programs. It is abo \1cry important for rne to clarify the role that faculty representative~ have played in deve lo ping the rc:commcrtdation to upgrade our athletic program. Like you, I a m very proud to'be: an active member of the teaching faculty here at U B. I am also very interes ted in the con tribution that stud ent athlete~ would make to ou r classroom experience. and so I made sure that fac ulty perspl"Ctivcs were promi nently represented on the lntcrcollcgialc A1hle1ic Board . Of I he fifleen member~ of the Board. six are tenured faculty , along with four students. four administrators and one representative of our alumni. The chairman of the board is a tenured professor. as is the Universi ty representative to the NCAA. I >hould also lake I his oppor1uni1y to anform yo u of the status of the lmercollegialc Athlclic Roard reporl and the further consultative actions that I plan to take. The curren t situation is that the Board has delivered their report and made a series· of recommendations. o action has been talcn on tho~e recommctldations. What I have done is to pursue the questio n· of grants-i n-aid. without · which any upgrade 10 Division I would he impossible. Again. I rnuSI no1e 1ha1 all the major public research universities in the cou ntry do offer such grant sin-aid. The funds we·would use to su ppori lhcse scholarships would- he raised by !he Universil y al Buffalo Foundation. and do not represent a diversion of resources that would o therwise suppori non-alhlclic scholarships. Some of !he apprehension yo u indi· ca1e in yo ur leners appears 10 be based upo n a misreading of !he Board's recommendations. The report indicated a lon~·lerm goal of membership in DivisiOn I. wilh our fo01ball 1eam elas· sified IAA. Thus. there b no suggestion whatsoever of a football team that - co mpe1 es in !he Big Ten. In facl. com· pe1i11on a1 Division IA A foo lball would be wi1h various Ivy League Schools. There muSI be a greal deal more dis· cussion and consultation before a.ny actions arc taken to upgrade our alhlelic program. I am sure the Facuhy Sena1e will provide an impor1an1 fo rum for debale and adv1ce, and I would urge you to raise you r concerns wilh your colleagues in the Senate. I am a lso very interested in the views of the other groups in our acadel)lic community. In their recent referendum. the unde rgraduate students have indiculed mong supporl for 11je recommendation to upgrade. There is also evidence of.considerable su pport among alumni and within ·the local co mmunity. All of these constituencies will be. fully consulted before we make a final co mmitmert. D T - STEVEN B. SAMPLE President he says that universi ty athletics is childlike and irrelevant. It is prec isely this reason why athletics belongs in a university. If one is interested only in serious endeavors, then let him leave the un iversity and enter the real world of earning a living on the outside.

The program consisted of lectu res by Cornell facully and former siUd eniS on cu rrent topics in science ranging from the latest m Genetic Engineering to advances in Theoretical Physics. During a half-hour break Saturday aflernoon. I wandered the hundred or so yards to Cornell's stadium where the Cornell-Syracuse Lacrosse game was in progress. As I wa1ched 1he siUdeniS · enJoying a ralher one-sided game. iny mmd called up recollections of my own s1Uden1 days al the J ohns Hopkins Universi1y in Baltimore. The hard work of learning always seemed easier in the s pringtime when the magnolias were · blooming and the Laarossc team was on 1he field . I was struck as I returned 10 1he mee1ing by 1he si milarily of pur· pose of both groups, lhe o ne al mY - meeting and the one at the stadium. Bolh were groups of people involved in getting an ed ucatio n and advancing the s1a1e of our knowledge. Bo1h were al that moment involved in something delighlfully irrelevanl 10 1hcir immediate objectives. And. more imporlanlly, bolh groups were bener pre· pared to carry on as a result of the experience. My colleague from !he Englis h , department is correct when ~e says that ed uca tion is serio us busil}ess. and when endeavo rs. I have long been an advocate for a first-rate athletic program on this cam~ pus (and for firsl-rale anylhing else, for· thai maller) and I strongly suppor1 ·1he present anempl by Presidenl Sample to bring it a bout. I recognize that th is vieW is .not unanimous, and an ticip ate the day when this university can determine its destiny in full and open deba1e. I slrongly rese01. however, lhc efforls of Professor Hochfield and his Gang of 125 10 foreSiall I hal de bat<> by trying to prevent the Trustees from aii<!Wing i1. One could only imagine I he 04tcry which would arise if the Trustees tried to impose a Division I athletics program on us. Just as we do not ask them to do so, neither should we encourage them to forbid it. Whelher it be alhlelics or English. music or engineering. the responsibility for decisions affecting academic life belong> wi1h us. I have never been a member of a varsity team, nor have I ever been an alhlele. Thus, I can speak on ly as a perso n interested in th e impact of athletics on this campus, arUmpact t believe will be overwhelmingly favorable. I will be happy 10 debalc l'rofesso r H ochfield or anyone else on the merits of an enhanced athletics program. if !he op1ion of an a1blc1ics pro· gram is presented to us by a Trustees' decision to permit grants-in-aid to athletes so that the debate is more than just an acade mic exercise.

This situation calls to mind as well the necessity of a University environment iA which teaching is allowed to go on unaffected by similar techniques of intimidation.

T.hcy face trials beginning Aprll 16. We members of the faculty wish to · tx press suppon for these Students who have acted in the worthy tradition of American dissen t agai nst militarism. They follow in the foots teps of Henry Thoreau , who went to jail in I846 for his opposition to the war against Mexico; of the writers and thinkers who opposed the war against $ pain and the taking of colonies at the turn of the cc:n· tu'iy; of the socialists such as Eugene Debs who opposed World War I; of the clergy, student. and oth'C: r act ivists in the I 960s, who o pposed American intervention in Vietnam . During such times in our past a mino~t y of brave dissenters, confronted with ·milita· ris m and mindless bloodshed , elected frequ"e ntly to go to jail in obedience to the dictates of their consciences. Having evaluated the case presented by President Reagan for arming the Contras - o ur proxies in the war against Nicaragua - we are convinced that these st udents, and the others in Buffalo and elsewhere in Nonh America who have also becn·arrested in similar· protests, are correct in their acts ·of opposition. The President's case has fallen apan · when evaluated in the light of evidence by reputable sources, so me of them in the Reagan Administration itself. For instance, our own State Depanment admits that Brazil is not, as Reagan alleged, the target of terrorism from Nicaragua. The President's charge that the Nicaraguan government engages in drug running is disputed by U.S. drug enforcement agencies. The American J ewish Committee rebukes his allegation that icaraguan Jews are being ~rsecu t ed . The public o pinion poll that · Reagan em pl oyed 10 show that Cent ral Amencan:t support his armi ng the Con tras is. according to a re:o.CCHchcr from Costa Rica, a poll taken only among the privileged classes; i1 was a poll 1hat did not seek, nor does il represtnl, the views of ordinary people. So it is not surprising that all ou r sister Latin America n democracies oppose Reagan·s arming the Contras when they see, as we d o, as destabilizing counterrevo lut ionaries Who are merely fro nts fo r American intervention. These same - govern ments ca ll fo r negotiations rather I han for violence and counter-revoluti o n. We agree. The fact that our President has had to resort to bla1ant lies which have been so immediately-refuted suggesiS to us .r.hat he has no case - no persuasive case based upon the truth . Co nsequently, the House of Representat ives has refused his request to arm the Contras. As teachers a nd scholars, we also Wish to address ourselves to the Reagan AdministratiOn's u~ of the charg~ of d isloyalty :t)o!'atnst i~ o pponents in Congress and dmong the American people.

I often answer- " no,"" trying to . gloss over such things as wrestlemania, roller derby , beer chugging contests. mud· or jello wrestling. and toga parties. But after I played splatball last . Friday night at Tona· wanda. 111 have to admit it the next time I go home to Belgium: Americans do sometimes behave like overgrown children. Imagine a dark , 26,000-square-foot warehouse. formerly a steel weldi ng plant , in which 8-foot-high palisadeS' form a complicated maze. Imagine two teams of 20 grown-up men and women. the blue a nd the green. try) ng 10 proceed through the maze in search of the other team's fla_g.

The sport was played in a 20-acre forest a nd the players were dressed in full cam ouflage clothing. The name splatba ll refers to the noise the paint ball makes as it strikes an opponent. Vinnie McCarthy. manager of the recently opened 'Tonawanda Splatshot Center, says splatball is here to stay. " It's like racquetball," he observed. .. It 's starting with a bang, then it will probably stead y down the line." McCarthy pointed out that Buffalo is home 10 the only two splatball cen· ters in the United States. One is located o n Elmwood ; the other (his). at 595 Fillmore Avenue, in Tonawanda, about 10 minutes from UB. A Buffalo State graduate, McCarth y said people appreciate the newl y opened facilities because the maze is movea ble (and can be adjusted fo'r various us.es) and because outdoor splatballer~ can use it to stay in shape dur· ing bad weather.

The opportunity 10 relax after a fruslraling workday is one of the reasons cited by McCarthy 10 explain the sport's anraction ... For students, it's a good way 10 forget about classes," he added. He acknowledsed, too, that the "Rambo-Terminator" craze is pan of it. In fact . a poster of ""Rambo" covers a wall in the equipment room. And the " Miami Vice .. soundtrack serves as background music during "combat." . "People also come to experience the thrill of close combat." added McCarthy. who is also one of three judges looking over the maze and officiating the battles. "One day, when I showed the facili ties to a guy, he started shak~ ing aJI over and couldn't wait to start playing," he recalled . " S plat ball is a sport." insisted McCarthy. "h's a good workout . and although it 's 40° in here, people sweat a lot. But the sport also appeals to people's mental abilities. You never know who's behind the next comer. It also develops reflexes," he added. Because it is a sport, McCarthy noted , some people are bener splatball players than others. "A good player has a good shot, he can hit someone on the move, he unde rstands the maze. he knOW$ when IO Sil back and when to attack." The splatshot center manager said many different people frequent his amusement center. ""We get older peo.. pie who work in offices and want 10 relax ......But most of the center's clientele is made up of U B students, he said.

The participation fee is S 15 which is good fo r three hours of playing. 20 paint balls. and the rental of pistols and face and body shields. Every additional tube of 10 balls sells for $2 each. and on a normal night, an average individual will hoot about 60 balls. Added to that is a S2 charge for each C02 capsule for the pistol. Splatball is not a cheap sport. "But racquetball also is expensive." countered Marabella. In addition to money. prospective players should .consider bringi ng along two pairs of pants. two pullovers, and gloves. The tree-marking guns used by the splatshot center hit their targets as far as 50 feel away and the impact of the bullets on the body is enough 10 cause purple bruises.

Manv of these firms, however, have not been calling on what could be one of their biggest •·customers'' for a variety of reasons, Bacon adds. "Because existing lists of minority and women-owned businesses may be out-of-date by the time they 're printed , it 's difficult for State agencies 10 identify these firms .

T he ad' ant age of the symp osium is that the sales representatives can effectively "call" on more than 30 agencies in one day. Purchasing agents from the agencies will staff booths at the event in order to make themselves easily accessible to the salespersons. Bacon admits that in . the past many small businesses. typical of minorit y and women-owned businesses, . were reluctant to do business with the State because they oft en were not paid promptly.

Yo u ca n dress up. but a tie isn't mand atory. Tickets will cost somew here around S5 and m:ry include all you ca n drink. Wu t7 noted that the Un iversity's lack of liquor liability in's ur ancc and the State's rai~ing of the drinking age to 21 T hi s ·yea r's eve nt is different because it will be si mply a daricc with no plans for dinner. That has u co uple o f advantages: the event will be held no matter how man y - or how few ticke ts arc so ld . Lutz said. and the ticket price will be much lower. · Funding from the Student Alumni Association has already been set aside. so the group doesn~ have to raise a certain amount in ticket reven.ue in order to hold the dance. he ex plained. Whether three students or 500 bu y tickets. Jhe group has a commitment to those students, he added. Another difference between Senior Dance '86 and last year's attempt is ttic location. Last year's event was to be held in a downtown hotel. .. Our location is better, .. Lutz said. " We're on campus. Why have a celebration for seniors held downtown? It's just not the same atmosphere . .. Even though it has a campus atmosphere. the Center for Tomorrow is still a new selling beca use most students don~ go then: often. Lutz no te<j . The dan ce is also a chance to familia rize the new graduates with the Alumni Office. located in the building. . Originall y scheduled for the Student Activities Center, the dance was moved to the Center for Tomorrow because it can acco mmodate more people. Lutz said that with th e courtyard. it can hold 5Q9 to 700 P,COple. This yea r's event also has the advantage of having the structur~· of an establ ished group. the Student Alumn i Association, behind it. The three-yearold group has worked with st udents and parents and has a good reputation on campus, Lutz noted . The Student Alumni Association is • also getting help with the planning and promotion of the event from the Communications Undt!rgraduatc Stu· dent AssOciation, Women in Management. ·Women in Communication. the Engineering Student Association. the School of Pharmacy Student Association , and the undergraduate Student Association. "Well charge a reasonable price and the dance will be o n cam pus." · Lutz. said . " I think well amact a good group of people. " Lutz hopes th e event will expand in future years .. He predicts this year's eve nt is just the beginning of a lon g tradition. -we're setting a trend." he said.

The research wh1ch ~he d1d turned quickl y into a project consi!<lting of observation . interviews. field studies. and attendance at different meetings on the topic. From that project. the idea for a book was spawned . and Levine wrote her hi ghl y acclaimed publication. . "The book shows the way a communit y res ponded to a toxic was te problem:· said Levine. " It deals with how the problem occurred, the people involved, and the gover nment agencies, as well as how socie ty as a whole deals with lhe problem." she added . "The residents living around the waste site were relocated a nd their hom es bought by ' ew York State. The canal itself was covered and remedial measures taken to try to clean up the si te in order to event ually have residents move back io their ho mes," she noted. What's happening now with regard agcncic:~. n~mc a to· the Love Canal situation'! The State of New York, in its infinite wisdom, is contemplating whether or not to move p~opl e back in t o the area . Accordiilg to Levine. a ·panel of scientists is deciding whether or not safety factors will allow such a move. Levine. who keeps in close contact with the si tuation. says that residents of the 453 evacuated homes have mixed emotions about whether they s hould move back to their o ld neighborhood . Some feel it is unsafe and will not move back. while ot hers, so mewhat s urprisingly, say they would co me back beca use that area was ne ver prove n unsafe. T. he State itself has hired an ad hoc ag~ncy to. maintain th e houses so that someday the people can, if they so choose, return . Unfortun a te ly. the harsh Western New York weather a nd a lack of funds have caused maintenance to be far from co mplet e. An article run by the Buffalo News in February add ressed this problem. According to the story. :·Local Love Canal A~ Revitalization Agency officials ar< feud ing with Dr. David Axelrod, state health commi sioner, over diven ing existing home buyout funds to heat and repair \acam homes.

As for the book, it has "d one well," says Levine, and is in it!:. eighth printing. She also no ted that it is unusual for a scie ntific book of this sort to be so successful , which is even more pleasing to her. The book has been rcv1ewed very favorably by everyt hing from engineeri ng to philosophy journals, she added . Besides the book, Levine has completed a slide show presentation about Love Canal that is available in the Educational Communications Center to any professor for his or her class. As fo r chances of a follow-up book about Love Canal. Levine would not rule it out. "The last book started out as a research project , so who knows, ·· she concluded . 0 ·Summer program offers opportunities to top high school students s ummer progn1m for t!J.Iented visi tin g lecturer. seconda ry school students is There is no intention to duplicate being sponso red by UB. what goes on in the high schools.

Bul lhere also are diffi· cull choices 10 be made. For Lee Gu1kind. 1hc realily of o rgan transplants is omnipresent. A n associate professor of English at the Universi ty of Pittsburgh. he has been · researching the effec ts the: transplant procedur~ ha o'n recipien ts. their families and the many others who are involved. and is comp ilin g a book on hi~ research . Gul~ind di>cu.sed "The Transplan1 Ordeal: The Agoni1ing Wail". April 8 in The Kiva. Baldy Hall. Since May. 1984. Gu1kind has been deeply involved with patients and their families awa iting organ transplants in Pinsburgh's Presbylerian and Child· reo's hospi tals. " I am not a medical person," he acknow ledged. noling 1ha1 his· olher books have included s ubjects suc h as his cross~ountry expenences on a mo torcycle a nd his travels with a g roup of Na1iona l League baseba ll umpires. .. , just though t it was time that· !.omeone went up there and saw what palients are going lhroug h ... Presbylerian and C hildren's hospil~ls are amo ng the mqst active centers of organ trans plants, in the wo rld . Gut ~ · kind no1ed. Transplan l procedures being performed - a1 a pace 1ha1 m akes th em relatively routine - inc lud e heart. heart·lung, kidney. and liver. .. Surgeons at Presbyterian are probably doing five liver 1ransplan1S a "eck.~' In addi ti on, he said. Pitts- burgh's medical community also is performing lh e large 1 number of hearl transpla nts in the world, averaging two per week . as well as the " ......--. ·rhe Waiting he concept of an organ trans- greatest numbe r of heart-lung transplants, a procedure 1ha1 has been performed .o n ly 100 limes 1hroughou1 1he world.

They discover 1hey are cri1ically ill and 1hey are go ing 10 die-." he said. "Another thing they have in common is 1ha1 lhey have had one hell of a lime getting anyone to recommend transplantation to them ... Not everyone who ~ccks organ transplan tat ion can be accepted into the program. The eval uation procedure alone com aboul $10,000. and lakes anyw here from IS minu tes to 10 days. depending on how many records the patient b rings and how sick he or she 1s. Gu1kind said. "Then I he doctors decide." Mone y also is a consideration . Presby1erian and C hildren 's hos pi lals will no1 accep1 palieniS as candidales in !heir 1ransplan1 programs unle s 1hey have adequate insu rance covera~e, ''or worse yet. without a cash depos at of at ' least SIOO.OOO,'' he suid . " A lo t of peer pie are co min g from o ther cou ntries. Now I don'l 1h ink 1hey have Blue Cross / Blue Shield in Po land . So 1hese people have to be coming in with money.·· The ra1ionalt behind lhe cash· upfronl policy is. not a matt er of co ld·hearted business practice. but ra ther. o ne of su rvival for lhese hospilals. The average transplant costs S228.000.

A si ngle donor ca n improve - or save - the li ves of as many as six. peop le. For example , Gulkind noted . o n May 2. 1985. a procuremen1 . 1ca m bro ug hl back 10 1he hospilal a liver that was trans p lanted into a woman in her '20s. The d o no r's heart and lungs were implanted in a 42·year·o ld woman. The fol- . lowing day. a 23·year·old man and a 12-year· o ld boy each received a kid· ney . And 1he donor's co rneas were used t o restore the sight of tw o m o re people. E leven mon1hs later, all of lh ese people still arc alive. ''I'm hooked." Gu1kind admit· "" ted. ..1 believe in the transplant process ... But who are lhese people? "The patients go through similar types of experiences initially. They discover they are critically ill and that they are . doing to die. " lion doll ars or more. according 10 Gu1kind. Even when all other criteria for admission to the program are satisfied. success cannot be guar· an teed. First a sui table donor organ must be found. ''Twenty per ce nt., of those on th e transpla nt atio n list die while waiti ng for an organ," Gut ki nd said . Once a d onor is found . time is criti· cal. As a r~su ll, Pinsburgh's hospitals have pioneered a system whereby they se nd one surgical crew to "harvest " a ll th"c o rgans nvailab le from a donor, Gutk ind said . It takes two su rgeons. so metimes thre~ . to go to wherever 1he organs are. perform 1he >urgery, ·and bring lhem back. And lhis mus1 be accomplished in a niatter of a couple of hours. The transplants arc then performed si multaneously in adjoining operating rooms. Four surgeons are required to perform each transplant; compli cations that length en the duration of the opcr· ation mean additional surgical teams will be broughl in 10 spell 1hc lirs1 group of surgeons. A ~inglc tran~plant takes an average of six hours. and ·T\'e seen surgeries go as long as 20 hours," Gu1kind said. w ~~ residen~ was diagnosed in 1983 as suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension. or PPH , and her doctors esti m ated she had two years to live. "She didn 'l gel 10 Pinsbu rgh un1 il August, 1984," Gutkind said. and after an eval uation was accepted as a heart·lung transplant candidate. Gu1kind no1ed 1he risks of heart·lung transp lan tatictn . After a year. th e survi· val rate for recipients is 50 per cent. In other words. one year after receiving a new hean and lungs. half of those patients arc dead. The longest survivor of this type of surgery is the first survi· vor the operation, who received her organs four years ago. PPH patients have been the most succes)ful recip· ients hcart·lung transplan ts; patients suffering from emphy cma. however. .. ha\c been quite unsuccessful." he said. or or Unde1errcd by lhose facos. "Winkle" \\35 put on the li~t of paticnb waiting for a new heart and lungs ... There arc at this time more than 100 people on the list." according to Gu~kind . In November. 1984. she received a call 1ha1 a possi ble donor bad Dcen fQund . An hour and a half laler she was in a jel bo und for Pinsburgh. Bu1 while " Winkle" was being prepped- for surgery, doctors d etermined that the d onor's lungs weren ,t in good enough . shape for a t ra nsplant : they a lso were too _ large for her chest cavity. So .. W ink le .. was se nt back home to wait Another patient. "' Kay."' lived in Aorida. A yo ung womun. her need for a liver transplant was co mpl ica ted by her un comm o n blood 1ype - B. which is shared by only fi ve pe r cenl of lhe population. Because the chance for s uccessful transplantation is greater wilh a n organ of lh e sa me blood 1ype, lhe already limiled pool of polenlial donors was narrowed funher. Almost miraculously, a s uitable d o nor organ was found. However , surgeons were faced with a new problem. ..Eva," another Florida woman, had liver ca ncer. and her condition s ud d en ly had d eleriorated 10 a crisis Slagc. She. loo, had lype B blood . and wilh· out a liver trans plant wou ld die within hours. "Kay ... although ill, was in Sla· ble condili o n. So "Eva" was e lec1ed for the transplant. Late r, after seve ra l mon ths o f wait· ing , a nd as her own co ndi tion wor· se ned; " Kay" co mmented on her frus· 1ra1ion. " I know I'm being se lfish." she told Gulkind.

Aside from se nsational interests that are inspi red by an exhi bit on predic ~ ti ons. the P.rimary purpose of this and other exhtbits that are displayed in Lockwood is to encourage use of the library·s collection. .. In pulling this together, I used a lot of so urces I wouldn't ordinarily touch, .. Hartman said . Non-traditional resources were an importa nt part of pulling together the exhibit. he added . Because of a lack of subject headin gs dealing with predic· tions. word of mouth was vital to his bibliogra ph ic search. B~t after spend ing nearly six months co mpiling predictions and vi~ suals to acco mpany the display, he said •. "the most difficult thing was decidi ng what to put in and, what not to put in ... he exhibit also left him with some T questions aboUl -o ur abi lities to see the fu ture. The most eerie fore~ prcdic~ tion he ran across in his search was an accou nt in J oe Fischer's Predictions rega rd ing an author named Morgan Roberlson. who crafted a premonition of disaster into a novel. "He sat down , possessed by a powerful image of a n 800-foot-long luxury liner speeding through the fog that hung over the iceberg-strewn North From page 16 Atlantic. then typed out these words: " 'She was the l.argest craft aOoat and the greatest of the works of man . . spacious cabi ns . . . decks like promenades ... unsi nkable, indestruc· tible. she carried as few lifeboats as would satisfy the laws . ... •· 'Seventy-five thousand tons - . deadweight - rushed through the fog at the rate of 55 feet per seco nd . . . hurled itself at an iceberg . . . nearly 3,000 human voices, raised in agonized screams .... • .. Robertson called his book The Wreck of the Titan. Thirteen years later, the ' unsinkable· luxury liner Titanic was buill and on April 10. 1912, the pride of the English shipyards sai led from South am pton on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. At 11 :59 p.m. on Monday, April 15, the Titanic ground into an iceberg and sunk at a steep angle, drowning 1,493 of the 2,207 passe ngers a nd crew. So many a re th e si mil a rities between Robertso n's novel and the real-life tragedy that coincidence has to be ruled out. Co mmon to both were the name of the ship, the Atlant ic, the ice· berg, the fog, the liner·s myth of unsi nk.abil ity. the length and tonnage, the number of passengers, the speed of impa.ct, the null)ber of lifeboats and proJl.OIIers, and the unprecedented loss of hfe." · ..

Unknown and seemingly unforeseeable, it represents an amazing frontier. a territory that is vast and unconquerable. Likewise, seers, sages, soothsayers, and other predictors of the invisible, intangible future are awarded a unique respect, the kind of reverence saved for' those with the mysterious ability to tell us what is going to happen before it happens. The magnitude of our belief in · those who portend the future is accented by human nature, that portion of our psyche that forgets the thousands of predictions that are made but never come to pass. "Predictions: True, False, and ?" is the title of an exhibit on display in Lockwood Memorial Library through the end of May. ComP.i)ed by Don Hartman. assistant librarian. the exhibit is a collection of predictions made through the ages, some of them true., some of them false, and some that have yet to be proven or disproven. Lest anyone thirlk we have a clairvoyant in our midst who doubles as a mild-mannered librarian during working hours, rest assured. The exhibit is'" the result of an advertisement that cauglit his eye and tickled his fancy, Hartman said. "I don' have <tny feelings (about predictions) one way or another, .. he said. "The subject really just piqued my interest. .. No wonder. Regardless of their veracity, Predictions have a certain thrill factor. Those that are correct have the capacity to raise the hair on the napes of our collective necks. Those that are incorrect invoke a universal, self-righteous scorn. Regardless, they catch our attention. Not all of what we consider predictions a.re intended to be a peek into the · future. Many are simple statements, or misstatements, Hartman noted , that are afforded mystical status when they come true or elicit ridicule when they don't. Some are separated from us by distance and time. Others are very timely and uncomfortably close. ts.clsi.ev Mad£ reference to 10foot-tal/ robots 30 years ago. 0 a..teshel Sata in 1899 that everything that can be invented has been invented. ne that touched close to home but was not included in the exhibit was 0 published in the January 28, 1986, Exhibit focuses on the true & the false By CHRIS VIDAL issue of the Genera1ion. Hartman said. An article titled "Euture Shock" by Johit Kunz opened with the prediction th at " in the year 1987, the Space Shuttle will crash into a Japanese satellite, killing seven astronauts and eliminating Japanese television for a week ." Coincidentally,· this tongue-in-check prediction appeared on the day the Challenger exploded. Err"oileous predictions that are included in the exhibit can more accura<ely be i:alled misstatements. Hart.; man says. ''Isaac Asimov says that if You say something isn '1 going to happen, you most definitely will be wrong." he noted. For example, Thomas Edison once said he saw no real use for lightbulbs. according to Hartman . Charles Duell, director of the U.S. Patent Office, urged President McKinley to abolish the office in 1899, because "eve rything that can be invented has been invented ... Oxford University Professor Erasmus Wilson predicted in 1878 that electrical lighting would never compete with gas. Harry M. Warner, of Warner Bros. Pictures fame, ex~ressed his doubts about -~allting" motion pictures in 1927 when he queried "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" And the Reverend Billy Graham pooh-poohed a group that revolutionized music when he said in 1964 "The Beatles are just a passing phase. They are just a sign of the times." One of the reasons there is such delight in these bold statements that are glaringly wrong when seen in the light of 20-20 hindsight , Hartman said, is that "people like to hear other people being wrong." It is because of sirilar human nature that the first portion of the exhib!t deals with people who pred1cted thm own deaths. Hartman said. be chose that genre as a lead-in "because people are.. morbid, so (the subject) catches your eye." Perhaps the most bizarre example of mortal prediction W";S made by .Robe.rt Morris, Hartman sa~d, and wnuen m Prediclions by Joe Fischer. "Tobacco planter Robert Morris, Sr. - the father of the financier of the American revolution - dreamed IJF'd be killed by the firing of a cannon from a ship be was about to visit. He tried to avoid boarding the vessel, but his fears appeared so unfounded that Predicted lzis life he finally yielded to the captain's would end witli the entreaties, once he'd been assured no comet's next guns would be fired until he'd left. At · d the end of the visit, the captain told - appear.ance- an was. Morris the salutin$ shot would be fired right. only when Morns' party had safely reached the shore. He told !tis $Unners not to fire the salute until he raiSed his hand. But the boat carrying Morris to shore was still within range when. the cartain raised his hand ro brush a fly of his nose. This was interpreted .as the signal to fire, and the gun Was discharged; a fragment hit Robert Morris, wounding him fatally." Harry M. Warner Expressed doubts about t.alking pictures. &rover Oevelancl Noted that 'sensible & responsible women do not want to vote. ' thers have not known how, but when. David WaUencbinsky's The Book of Predictions recalls the demise of Davtd Fabricius. . .. The astronomer and Protestant minister who discovered the variable c;:;star Mira C<ti predicted his death would occur on May 7, 1617. On that gloomy day, he was afraid to go outdoors or see anyone and didn' leave his room. At I 0 o'clock that night, be laid aside his fear in order to get some fresh air. Once outside , he was attacked and killed by a member of his church whom Fabricius had intended to expose as a truer." Similarly, Mark Twain, who was born during an appearance by Halley's Comet, predicted his life would end with the comet's next appearance and was right. Abraham Lincoln dreamed he would be assassinated a few days before he was shot by John Wilkes Booth while attending a play at Ford's Theatre. And Joan of Arc spoke often of the limited amount of time she had to save France from Br itish domination. or course, predictions may have more power than just acting as a forewarning, Hartman said. "Predictions make the future, too. Predictions tend to be self-fulfilling prophecies." For example, he noted, the "technologies'! of science fiction lead to .a "what-if" mentality, and a belief that the technology should · be • possible. Of course when assessing these predictions it is important to keep in mind the technologies of the times from which the predictions come. For example. Hartman said, Isaac Asimov made reference to robots that were 10-feet tall. but that was 30 years ago when vacuum -rubes were high tech, and microchips were just a gleam in a scientist's eye. UB has its own legacy in this collecti on of predictions - Clifford C. Furnas. who in 1954 became the ninth chancellor of the University of Buffalo, and who was the first president of the State University of New York at · Buffalo. "Furnas was quite an optimist with his view of the future," Hartman noted. According to the April 30, 1969, edition of the New York Times. "he created something of a stir in 1941 at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. He predicted the sun's rays would be harnessed to provide industrial power. He cautioned against postponing the necessary research untiJ petroleum resources were entirely depleted. Adequate power facilities , he said. could solve many international prob-lems ...

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Hi s . rcse<l rch established a significant amount of what has been brought to li ght about the subject. This includes the apparent links between ca rotene. other retinoids (associated with Vitamin A) and fiber and a protective effect against certain cancers. The recent studie~ by Graham and hi s coresearcher~ have al!-.o correlated excessive alcohol. tobacco. meat and fat consumption. as well as obesity, with higher risks for s pe ci fic types of cancer.

Q: If one out of every ten warheads g'ets through, what good is a 90 per cen t defense. Couldn't one warhead destroy an entire city? A: If o ne in ten warheads gets through it !-.till can destroy a ci ty lik e New Yo rk or Washing to n. But in o rd er to do th at. knowing that nine out of ten warheads are going to be knocked down. th e Soviets would have to target th eir who le Mratcgic arse nal against the ci t ic~ of A merica.

Four people arrayed against dozens of tOp· level officials and thou sands of scientists and erfgineers working at the nuts and bolts as~t or this program. Q: It seems as though the most cruoiaf element of this spaoO:.based defenst is the sattllitt. If this is true, donl you tbink that the Soviets will attempt to sjmpfy knock it down? I have read t"e SovietS' have killer llll~llites that un render all of our satellites vulntnoble. A : Those killer satellites aie only useful against completely unhardened, unprotected satellites ·much as we have in space right now. We have not spen t · the money or the effort on harde nmg our satellttes becallst h'b o ne's been shooting at them yet. But before "-C put up our defensive satell ite. screen we will have worked out techniques to make these atellites essentia lly invulnera ble. and .it turns ou t that for a satellite that 's a perfectly straightfor• ward problem. because ate ll ites in space arc weigh tless. You ca n slap u~ much armor and s hielding o n them as yo u "ish at a cos t of ~o much per pound· for getti ng it up there. You cart also put guns on them. and su rro und them with !\pace destroyers. which also · have armaments to shoot down anything th at ap proaches th at seems to be a threat. So we will not put them up until we can protect them. and we arc confident tha t we will be able to do that. Incidentally. yo u can't protect n mi~­ sile, because 1f yo u put one inch of ; hielding on a missile (say the skin of an SS- 18) to give it a litt le protection again~t o ur laser!!, that one inch of 'hielding take> four tons off of the pa) load of the mis!:.ile which wipes o ut i t~ entire abilil y to carry any wa rheads in space. So you make it literally impotent a nd obsole te. You annat pro tect mi s~ ilc~. you ca n protect sa telli tc!l.. and that'~ a consequence or the laws ol gravity. Q: l s n~ it trut that S.D.I. is only effective against ICBMs? And if so. what about the cruise missiles? A: ot o nl y is the S. D . I. effective agai nst cruise m i~ iles. in fact anything that can handle the ICBM threat find• cruise mi ss iles to be a soft snap. but it's a lso effective again st s ubm3rinelaunehed missi les a nd against the SS20s and SS-22> that· threaten Eu rope. The reason is that th e cru i!-.e missile travels through space at the speed of a co mmercial air liner. and a system that i~ si1cd to handle warhead~ trave ling at 10.000 miles an hour ca n knock off a crui!-.c missil e or 'Aarhcad lumbering along at 500 miles an hour very easily.

Sept. 1985). "Such an evaluation," he states. ''can be b,ased o n elementary principles nf phy;ic< and geometry. It seems similar to the problem of judging a perpetual motion r_nachine:· This letter cannot restate atf-\he technical arguments the overwhelming majority of scientists and engineers agree show the president's speech was an illusion. but we can list a few. · • t\11 SOl weapons arc exceedingly complex and complicated. • These weapons ·are fragile and delicate, susceptible. to damage and brea kdown . • T,he SOl system could never be tested under realistic conditions {unless we are prepared to start a nuclear war). • The SOl weapons are tllemselves vuln~rable to attack. . • Counter-measures are 11ow readily available. they are cheap. the technology ex ists. and they would , be extremely effective in neutralizi ng the SOl "defense." • • We would be pulling our~ securit y in the hands of co mput ers. whose software could never be 'realistically tested . 1 Ma.ny compute r scientists believe the software ca nn.Jt be developed . 11!1 The system would be extremely expensive to ·build and service. . • The "shield" docs not protect us fro m midraqge mi siles (SS-IC,.SS-4. 5. 12, -16). submar ine based missi les. cr uise missiles. etc. There are mo re than technical reaso ns for o pposi ng .. Star Wars .. on un iversity ca mpuses. We will now raise five proble ms we see SOl as 'pOsi ng for the un ive rsi ty community. We believe the faculty must cOnsider them se riouoly b<:fore supporting SO l. J'hcse problems are: I) Concentration of iesearch monies. Concentration of funds for academic research in the Department of Defense (DoD) generally. and in SDI. specifica ll y. poses real pro blems fo r the un iversity. Since 1980. DoD funding for. university researc h has grow n fro m . $495 million to S930 million. a n 89 per cen t increase. If DoD fund ing to offcampus affiliates like Berke ley's Live rmore Labs and MIT's Linco ln Labs~ take(l into acco unt. DoD now spends more than the Nationa l Science Foundation on university research. In 1985. SO l. in its first yea r as an academic program. received o nly $28 million . However, it is projected w reach $300 million by I ~K8. This co ncent ration of resea rch in a single agency means that the stability of un iversit y research programs is linked to the po litical fortu nes of o ne organilation. While Do D presently see ms ve ry powerful. "ihe university has suffered in the ' past from being tied too tightl y to this ~gcncy. During the Vietnam war. DoD supplied more than a quarter ol all federal dollars for academic scie nce. When so phisticated research did not aid in decisive military victorie~. Presidents J ohnson and Nixon became cri tical of Pentagon spending o n academic research. When the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam. Congress wi thd rew support from DoD and uni,•crsi ty research. The ''S ta r Wars .. program is as unli kely to co me to a successful conclusion as was the Vietnam war. Aside from its technical problems, o ther hazards abound . The adminis tration might change, agreeme nt with the Soviets o n a rm s control cou ld be reached. a nd accide nt - like th e C hallenger or worse - is possible. Any of these cou ld sharply reduce fundi ng, cutt ing unive rsi ty resea rch ca pabi lit y. as was the case following th e Vietnam war. Instead. uni ve rsities should sec k a diversified research develop ment strategy. 2) What happens when the national science agenda is set by the militnry? A number of prob lems a rc likely to ell)erge when. as in the case of SOl. . military o bj cc ti \~~ dl!tcrm ine the national scic! n~e agenda. "Star Wars" has quite specific' technical objectives which. whether they are possi ble to reach or not. direct scientists - physicists. mathematicians. ~ ngin eers of all varie ti es - toward concrete problems which ma y or may not be enco mpassed by current theo retical pers pectives. If -technical demands are beyohd theo retical reach, "Star Wars., may serious~y distort developing pa radigms. with unforeseea ble consequences for the several scie nces. Concentrating nat iona l resources for the un iversity on SOl creates other · problef9S. Scientists· arc unable to · address a host of other problems - for example. development of malaria or · AIDS vacci nes. or safe and reliable contraceptives. A science agenda set by tfie .military turns reseatch away from the problems faced by the ciiizenry. Eve ntually. this could mean a lack of popula ·su pport for uni versit y resea rch funding. Defenders of ''S tar Wars" ' resea rc h oftert arg\le that the citize nry benefits • from the spin-offs~f military research. especially in terms f high technology economic growth. hilc s pin-offs do occ ur, the ir efficie ncy is increasingly called in~u estio n . Japa n and West German y, it i$ argued. are often a ble to out-design and out-engineer us because they are not building products to wi thstand nuclear blasts o r deep s pace. As a res ult . .they ca n build cheaper. more Oexible anp efficient high technology products than the U.S. a nd co mpete more successfully in glo bal markets. 3) Political Implications of Accepting, "'Star Wars., Monies. 'Many scientists say that they can accept SO l mo ney without accepting "1here en more than technical reaSons for apposing 'Sa Wen' an the cmnpuses." SD I. Some a rgue that SO l will not work, so th ey should take the money a nd pursue their own research objectives. Others argue that fu nding agencies we.rc providing money for the components of "Star Wars .. long befo re there was a progra m. These compo. nent s - lasers. super comp uters. energy stOf'agc. :-.emico nductors wou ld be developed with or without SD I. so why should scientists hesitate because of the "Star Wars" label? These arguments arc somewhat i~en u o u s. When scientists accept •·star Wars" money th ey. at the very least. formally endorse "Star Wars." The Innovative Science and Technolo~ Pfogram, which runs the research co mponent of SO lO. is well aware of this. Indeed , SOlO and the administration sec un iversity participation as crucial to "Star Wars' ·· success. University partici pation legi timates SDI for the wider society. Universi ty scientists. o nce co mmitted to SOl. are likely to become a for mid a ble )obby fo r co nt inual increases. as are the defense contracto,..., "ho ~uppon more monic~ fo r the weapons s~stems they a re developing. 4) S<erecy and Classification. T.p date. Dr. James A. lonson. directo r of the Innovative· science and Technology PrQgram, ha:. stressed that S Ol contracts are not classified . However. unclassified status has little meaning in light of Execut ive Order 12356 (April 1982) and the Preside ntial Direc- · ·tivc o n Safe-guarding Nat i~ nal Security lnfo rmauon (March 1983). In the words of the AAUP. these allow research wh ich is .. bo rn free .. to ..die classified ... Und er these o rd ers_. eXecutive branch agencies are able to halt the presentation. publication or mere sc holarly exchange of papers not classified. nor drawn from any classified so urces. Given these sweeping, powers. ' it is 'highl y un like ly- that researc h as . cent ral to national defeq!)e. aS SD I will re ma in unclassified lo ng after in itial contracts are let. The sec recy that comes wi th clasSified research poses a number of se riOus prob lems for univel'§ity ,,cho lars. O n many ca mpuses. classified research is pro hibit ed. Wh at happen when a contract is classified o n a campus wilh such regulati ons'! Classifica ti on and secrecy di srupt peer review. C lassification makes criticism a nd know l edge~ a ble di sc ussio n of cont r over~ia l prog rams such as ''Star Wars" almost impossib le. Fina lly. the abilit y of the executi ve t6 engage in ell! fac·w classification withou t an y clear criteria ma ke::-. all academic Work- precario us. Scholarly meetings dealing with unclassified work have bee n cance lled in areas . ranging from photo-optic instrumenta tion to bubble memo ry. Publication of unclassified research dealing with crypto logy problems has been prevented. Until the university is able to se parate its interests clearly and publicly from an eve r more broadl y construed concept of nati o nal security, all technical research is s ubject to d e faciO classification . and academic freedom becomes impossi ble. 5) Shifting Resources and Rewards within the University. The large amuunts of mone~ likely to be involved in SD I mean some fields, departments, and schools will have a· great deal more fu nding than others. Those areas most li kely to hcncfit a re the physical scie nces and e ngineeri ng, which are heavil y staffed by .middle a nd upper middle class white males. Whil e these field s have increasing number of fo reign students. it is unlikely that they will be allowed to r.articipate in SO l research. especial!) 1f they are from cou ntries not on the best of terms wit h the U.S. So long a> SO l is o ne of the central research programs in the universit y, those most like ly to have an abunda nce of research reso urces are those who have tradit ionally benefitted from advanced degrees . The groups that struggled so hard to gai n access to higher education in the 1960s and 1970s - blacks, women. minorities. and the poor - are unl ikely to s hare in this largess. For all these reasons we ask o ur colleagues on the fac ult y and ir\ the administ ration to consider their participation in the SOl program carefull y. Do we want o ur univers ity to be as o~ ciated with this program? Is SO l money a ppropriate for the uni ersity'! What are the long and short term con· seq uences to our institution when we acce pt these fund s? These are all issues we cannot take lightly. - JONATHAN REICHERT, Assoc,ate Professor of Physics - SHEILA SLAUGHTER, Assoctate Professor of Educalton.

Karrer, director of Student Finances and Records, has asked the Facult y Senate to c hange UB's policy to conform with the State's. The Faculty Senate Executi ve Committ ee appoi nted a co mmittee to stud y the iss ue, lncludi'ng the possibility of innuencing the State to cha nge i1s poli.cy. The controversy centers around the amount of time a stud ent is all owed to finis~ an incomplete or " I" grade. UB allows students 15 mon th s. For TAP, the S ta te mandates that the ·· J" be finished the se mester afte r it :was incurred. The . problem comes in whe n taki ng an " I" grade causes a stud ent to fall below full-time status or to fall short of the State':, rules on satisfactory progress. ·A student mu>t be full-time (comple ting at least 12 credit hours) to qualify for TAP. Karrer said. In addi-. tion, he or !)he must accumulate a ce rtain amount of oredits. depending on his Incl. each semester. (This affects juniors to a· greater degree because more ,is expected of junior~ than of fre~hmcn and S(lphomorcs.) Taking an 'T' grade 1s not considered cumplcung a course. If a student take~ an "I'' in the fall ~cmc~tcr and it tip~ h1m bc\ow full tima. he or she has unti·J the end or the spring semester, according to State tulcs. tO make up the work. Karrer said. Ouring the ~pring scmeMcr. that student's I A P award is put in to <1 "pending" categor). I( the student completes the work. he or she 1s awarded th e money for the spring semcMtr. If the student doesn't complete the· work. Karrer said. the ~ tudcnt owes th e 'U ni ve rsity the amount he was to get from T t\ P fo r s pring . A "check-stop .. is put o n the student's accou nt. If he or she tries to preregister for the nCxt fall. the registmtion v. ill be reJected because money is owed. Compounding the dilemma is the absence of a procedure to inform the student. Karrer said . The st udent may not knov. until he or she retu rn s the next fall that he owes moncv and isn't registered for classes. · The Universitv tries to collect the amount of TAl; money Ol'ed by the student. If it j!, unable to collect. the ath1rney general's offic~ ~ueo; the student. All th i~ may take the student by surpri;c becau;e he thinks he has 15 month., to make up the 1ncornplete. .. Thc~c ~rc all he a\ y con!,cquenccs not understood by Mudcnts." Karrer sa1d ... PeoPle who do the counseling are nut aware of the monsters the y create by tclhng a Mudent to ta~c an incomplete. h sounds so easy. "The student gets caught in the middle of this misunderstanding of how the grades affect him." Karrer noted that getting an "F" is considered completing a course. However, the State rules on satisfactory progress require a student to maintain a 2.0 average and the ·F· may also jeopardize financial aid. U B's policy setting a 15-month limit was established in i 984. Before that, an " I" grade could exist indefinitely. . TAP's policy on inco mpletcs is not new, Karrer said . but for years it wo.!!.n't e nfoFced . He said he expects federal financial aid agencies to follow su it with tighter controls. Walter Kunz, dean of und ergraduate academic · services. noted that pre~ . viously, students were certified three or four weeks into the !,emester as carrying a full load . A stud ent cou ld· drop below full time later thal semester without financial aid penalty. Npw audito rs are checki ng stud ents at the cnd,..of th e semester. The purpose ·of the State's rules o n smisfactbry progress arc to assure that insti tuti ons don't allow st udents to lin- ger while the sc hool uses their financial aid money. Kun z wants to assure the State that U B does have standards in place and students must -make progress - they can't hang around here .forever. During the dlscusslo n at a recent Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. members questioned whether this is an administrative issue or an academic issue. Who s hould make decisions on the pol icy? ' I (!on' want to ba5e a pedagQgica l decision on a financia l policy," said Dennis Malone. professor of electrical and computer engineering. He argued that as long as s tudents are informed of the potential proble ms. they have a choire. They can choqse to make up the work in om: .semester rather than tak e the 15 month s allowed by-U B. " I don' see how changi ng our academic policy would d o an ything besides being a bit of com munication." agreed Ronald Hause r: associate profe sso r of mod e rn languages and literatures. . · · A change in.. the policy would force all students, nb t j ust th ose receiving firtancial aid, to complete "I" grades in a shorter time, he pointed o ut. $20,000 in aid questj.,oned M ore than 20.000 in Tuition As~istaOl'C PrOgra m (I A I>) payments credited to st u~ dent accounh at lJ R arc being !teriou~ l y questioned by fteld audi""' from !he Office of the State Cumptrollcr. according tn William H .

If it i~ decided that UB was incorrect in making payments to the students, the l·hghcr Education Services Co rp or~ tt ti on. which administe r!!. 1 AP. could ask UR to retu rn the fund~ . This would mean that . in rctro~pcct. the student was ineligible for the aid and could be billed for the amoun t he received. Baumer ex plained. "1 he party at ris~ is the student ." he ~aid. .

The University doc>n't record a student ·~ intended major: it only notes when he or she is actually accepted into a depa rt ment. However. recording intended majors may be sufficient for TAP requirements. although that's no t clear. Baumer said.

Baumer .,aid. 0 "The Faculty Senate has a concern, which is reasonable. that administrative policies shouldn1 override ac;ulemic j1olicy," Karrer noted. "Unfortunately, de facto, the State policy governs." If the Faculty Senhte agrees that in ordinary cases an ··1· must be made up by the following semester, then docu mented e,_.ptions to the policy. such as when the instruc_tor is away on sabbatical that following 'Sem~ter. can be defended. he said. What can' be defended is if the Universi ty blithely ignores the State's policy. he _added. A I the meeting, faculty senators offered a nqmber of alternatives . to changing UB's policy. Kun z contends that technically, OB doesn' have "l's" at all. If the student co mpletes the work, he or she gets a fi nal grad'e. If he docsn' complete the work. l'le gets a default grade which is . also final. , · C harles Petrie. associate professor in com rTl\lnicatio n. suggested that instead of givi ng an " I" followed by a default grade. such as l/ F. the · sequence be reversed t o F { l to a ppease jhe apditors. Karrer said his guess is Yhat if that is seen as an auempt to circum'Vent the State's rule. it would be thrown out. Other uggestions concerned fanc y bookkcepi n~;~. For instance. an "I" could turn mto a default ~rad e at the end of six months . but a dafferent final · grade could be substituted if the work is completed at the end of 15 months. Karrer noted that some of theM: sol utions can't be accommodated on the co mput er now. · "The system could be redesigned. but that's a major piece of work," he said. Petrie saad that trying to co mplete an .. , -in one !temester. on top of carrying a full load, is Joo much wor~. Barbara Bono. assistant profe~so r of English. ;uggested that th~re are sound academic reasoris to go 10 the onese mester limit. A student making up an " I" shouldn't be overloaded because he is supposed to be making up o nly o ne piece of work. such as a paper or test, n~ redoing all coursework. She added. however. that UB students. who are expected to co mplete an average of 5 I J3 credits per semester. are asked to take too many credits to graduate. Karrer said he is trying to work out a co mp romise on the mauer of .. 1". grades with the ew York State Higher Education Services Corporat ion which administers· TAP. "However. the indication is .that they're not the least bit in terested," he said. Their atti tude sccm!l to be that these are the rules that UB must follow if it wam~ aid for its students. "The contention is that everybody else in the sys tem is doing it.'' Karrer said, adding that UB has been accu ed of having a' certain amount of inde· pendencc and arrogance.

By GERALD O 'GRADY 0 n Wednesd_ay evening. April 9. English and Art teachers from alf of the public and private high schools and colleges in the Western ew York region were invited to ~ special Buffalo premiere sc reening of "The Adventures of Mark Twain ... the first feature-length film produced by the new technique of Claymation. The hosts were Dr. Leslie Fiedler, the Samuel L Clemens Professor of Literature, and myself, and we were joined in, a post-screening discussion by Dr. Victor Doyno, a Twain. scholar from the Department of Eng-· Jish. Paul Sharits. the Media Study filmmaker, and Hugh Kennedy Tirrell, a Buffalo native and the Execuiive Producer of the film. Claymation is an entirely new' technique invented by Bob Gardiner and Will Vinton, the film's producer. After a story is scripted, designed and storyboarded with dialogue , a black and white Jive-action 16-millimeter film is shot in which the actors. wh o will provide · the voices for the clay figures. actually appear, having re hearsed their roles as in an ordinary play. Vinton chooses actors trained for the stage rather than film . because they emote better and more dynamicall y project facial expression.s and bod y gestures. This film i> known as the reference film. Once this so und-synch film is shot. a complete musical track. with _many s pecial effects, is created so that on the next phase of production, the singleframe photography of th e claymated figures thei r movements can be orc hestrated 'to the beat. What is entirely unusual about the film is that each of the clay characters, which is now manipulated in accord wtth th~ previo usly recorded voice and _muM, , has 1ts own claymator, one of Vmton s spe- · 11 t ··• ~ed designers , who has served Cia y I a • . · . • :n "the preCISIOn ~n apprenucesh•p "; , - •• , clay mcrements of movement. tH"'" ............... r :c ohnut 12 to 14 inches tall 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' is the first feature of its kind and constructed on a special steel frame with joints in its arms, legs. neck and torso to allow for nexible and variable moveme nt s in three dime nsions. Each claymator alters the facial expression and I or the head and bod y of his character for every frame, that is 24 frames a seco nd or 130.000 times for the 90-minute film . Given the number of characters in any one scene. · and the variations of the set. there are SO to 60 changes mad e befo re each frame is shot. sequence. When all claymation scenes arc shot. the film is given a final editorial ti¥htening and voices are so metimes substituted or added to transiti ons. The film was en!irely shot in a 5000square-foo t studio in Portland, Oregon, although the Mark Twain portio n of the live-action reference film. which features Buffalo actor James Whitmore , who earlier had played two other Missouri cha racters, Harry Truman and Will Roger , was done in Houston. he claymaJion technique is espeT cially suitable for fantasy produc'T like he set is three-dimensional and lit tions. A tear running down a check can a live-action locatiOn, radically separating it from the usual animation film production seen in Satu rday morning cartoons on television. These cartoons, while created in the United States, are executed in the orient where all of the drawing, painting and other processes are done at lower cost. In contrast. each of tbe claymators handcrafts and individualizes his creation. is responsible for· developing the walk and distincti ve features of his character. Six to ten seco nd s is the maximum amount of film s hot in any given day - there are wee klies rather than dai· lies. according to Vinton and a claymator works eight hou rs a day for 18 months before the camera, continually consulting the facial gestures of the refe rence film and rehearsing the movements of his figure before a mirror. The clay characters wear out in the process of production. More th a n 100 Mark Twains had to be built in order to finish the film. The clay is mixed like paint , allowing for hundreds of possi ble colors and tex tures. a nd it never completely hardens. As a ~ l ayma­ tion sce ne is s hot , it j:, substituted for the live-action portion of the reference film and a checkerboard combination of clay 111nd live-action sections gradu=~~Y develops, ru; the film is not shot in change into an icicle. and then into a popsicle and a lollypop as it reaches the mouth. An apple can evo lve into Albert Einstein. A character's colors can change according to mood . A character ca n grow or s hrink at the director's will. Nothing is stable, all is nuid : clay thou art and into clay thou shall return. An animal can play side-by-side with a human , a ro bot. and a combination of all three. In "The Adventures of Mark Twa in," Daniel Webste r. Ho mer the Frog. Injun· Joe. Mark Twain.

In his essay, "How to Tell a Story,". Twain said : "To string incon~ gruiti es a nd absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way .. . is th e basis of the American art.·· The form of claymation is a veritable " myth issi ppi." S usan Shadburn's script took one of Twain's lesser known works, .. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Abroad ," in which a mad professQr has designed a Jules Verne-type balloon to Oy ·around. the world. and is accompanied by Tom Sawyer. Huck Finn. and J im. She has s ubstituted Beck\ Thatcher for Jim and Mark Twain for the mad professo r. He is not off on u plea~urt: trip but to intersect with Halley's comet. Twain was born in the year of Hall e)·~ comet, 1835. and died dunng it; a ppearance in 1910. He i>.:u the hel m of a fantastic rivcrballoon. a eros betwee n a dirigible and a galleon. and the real purpose of his journey is to reunite himself with his dead wife Livia. He stops occasionally to regale hi s young fictional creations with some: of his other fictions. The claymation characters are so realized 'that Adam and Eve are close a na logues for Twain and Livia .and in 1urn resemble Tom / Huck and Becky Thatcher as the swift currents of motion resolve themselves int o patterns of myth. The firs t image of .the film is a river running from a book and flooding the planet; later, Niagara Falls makes a dynamic appearance in the Garden of Eden: and in the final sce ne, river, s ky and the tai l of Halley's comet all merge into one su rging force. as Twain. now immortal. is transformed into an Egyptian Sphinx who blows the s hip along like Aeolus and propels it ahead on a river of eternal laughter issuing from his mouth. It i~ at this point that Tom Sawyer anno un ces that he will publish the film. ~T he Adventures of Mark Twain." as a book. but the authorial signature which appear on the scree n is that of Hu ck Finn. This is remin iscen t of the holograph (handwritten manuscript) o f " Huckl eberry Finn " in the Buffalo a nd Erie County Library which reads: "The End . Yours Truly, Huck Finn." Before claymation, Samuel Clemens had in- · vented n world in which his fictitious character could author the works written by his pen name. The film opens at the H oliday and University theaters tomorrow. 0 Dr. Gerald O'Grady Ia director of the fducal/onat Commun/catlona Center and the Center lor llfed,.

R. But doesnl S.D.I. include nuclear weappns that would serve only to increase proliferation! A: There is o nly o ne varia nt on the S.D. I. tec hnology that involves a nu~lear exp losio n, and that is the socalled X- Ray lase r. Gen . Abrahamson . has stated in testim o ny that we a rc not pursuing that line .exce pt as a hed ge agaimt Sovic;t efforts in thi~ field, "'here they have an acti ve progiam of X-Ray laser antisa tc ll itc weapons. It's definite ly on the back burner a nd not at the forefront of our effort. which ihvo lves smart bullets. lasers. and particle beams. all of which arc non-nuclear. Q: What role will nuclear weapons. such as the intercontinental ballistic missile. play o nce the S tr. tegic Defense lniliative i~ put in o rbit? A: The President has made .it plain that it i:-. hi~ \.o tcnt thill. before we put anything in10 orhit we will sit down wi th the Russians and negotiate th~.: simultaneous deployment s.o 'both sides will have it. They're working so hard on tlu:ir own defense there's no ·chance of t.hcm noi ha ving this techpol.ogy ;rvadablc when we do. So when both sides. have a defense that can s hoo t dov.n nine out of ten of the other guy':-a warhce~ds th en eac h one will find it vcr~ expensive indeed to keep that kind nf a r~cna l in place. When we had a goud air dcfcn~e agai nst Soviet bombers. the So.viets 'topped building bombers in the "60s and in the 70s. When we scutt led our aiPdcfen~c~ in tt'-c late 70s. t he Soviets started building hombcrs again. When we hoth have a defense that makes the other side·~ missile~ mort! o r less ineffective then we will bOLh put those mi~sile~ <.~way. as th~ Preside nt said. and the Russians (will). if they want to pursue these lines of nuclear intimidation. turn to other wavs. But th e ICBM. wliich is th e great threat. will be a thing of the past. Q: Listening to yo u speak about pro· tl!ct ion against nuclear weapons, keeping the potential conflict in space and rendering nuclear weapons obsolete. it wou ld seem that the peace movements of Western Europe and the United S tates would be in fa vor of this project. Why a ren "t they? A: As far as I can tell th cv've been mis led by Soviet propaga nd~ which talks in vague gcnc!ralitics. about barring weapons .from space. although the Soviets have developed ASATs whith arc weapons. and have exploded them in s pace. They have taken the lead in introducing weapons to s pace. But their propaganda doesn"t say that because then they would have to admi t that they have exp loded these wea pons in space. and that they have ASATs. We have actually seen them doing this on radar and have abundant evidence that they have, in fact. run these tests about 20 times in the las t 20 years. The European public does not know· this. and they believe the Soviet propaganda appareQtly. and that's why they"re riled up. They also do not know that the Soviets are pursuing their own .. Star Wars"' at maximum pace. In the late years of th is century, if we do not get cracking on our own S.D. I. with full funding, we wi ll have a situation where the Soviets have a massive first strike arsenal, a full defense to blunt our retaliatory attack. and we will have neith<J ... a nd that will be a very From page 4 dangerous situation for the U.S. and Europe. In fact, that will mean the end of the free world. Q: And where do our "NATO alii.,. stand on this project? A:. They were sJow in coming .around because they are laboring und er the false illusion that th e ABM Treaty has sto pped the growth of the Soviet offensive arsenal. The facts indicate that that arsena l has grown to approximatel y five times its size when the Soviets signed the ABM Treaty. The British and the French thin k th at if we have a missile defense the Soviets will have one too and that will inakc thei r force de frappe useless. wtiich is a misguid ed view because the Soviets are work i n~ on their defense as hard as they can with o r withou.t our ow n effo rt. and the French and British nuclea r fo rces a rc o n their way to becoming useless anyway. This rega rdless of any actio n the U.S. takes. Mrs. Tha tcher said a while ago that they were not go ing to give up the idea of Mutual Ass ured Destruction ·very easily because. ;:tfter all .. .nucl ~a r weap- . ons had kept the peace in Europe fo~ 40 year>. In other words. they like nuclea r weapons. They feel -they've kep Europe out of war and they don't wan t to see the U.S. and th e U.S.S.R. erect defenses that make tbem uSeless because that would only open Europe up to the pressu r~ of Soviet conventional arms. The bottom line on that . the unspoken sen timent. is they don't want to spend that extra per cent or two a year of their GNP that would give Western Europe its convent ional · defense agai nst Soviet weapons. They also believe mistakenly that o ur nuclear umbrell a is a dete rren t to the .Sovicts attacking Europe, although it is clear that if the Sovie ts marched on Europe we would not fire nuclear weapons on Moscow to protect Paris and Bonn since. in turn . the Sovieb would fire nuclear weapons at New York and W a~hi ngton . No American President would ever tnidc Paris for ew York . Q: Can S DI defend Western Europe? , A: The technology that SDI is working on. if put into place to protect the United States from the Soviet ICBM threat , would be ab le to handle SS-20> and 22s (which a re aimed at Europe) very easily beca use these short-range missiles' travel slowe r. which makes it easier to track and destroy them. They spend a la rger part of their trajectories in thC dense air of lower atmosphere, which enab les us to discrimi nate decoy; from warheads because of thf.: air drag acti ng on them. They arc small . mis.s.iles. which means that thCy only carry a few warheads and decoys which tremendously simplifies the defense problem. In every respect th ey arc a much cm,ier th reat to handle and a soft snap once we get our syMem into place. Q: Does S DI violate th e ARM lreaty? A: Not at all. The ABM treaty spe· cifically allows for research. Q: What if S,D .I., like all previous strateg•c nuclear weapons systems, spurred a new and costly round in the arms race? A: A h. b\Jt S.D.!. is not a" strategic nuclear wcilpons system. It is firs t of all non-nuclear and second. it does not involve weapons of destruction . It invo lves on ly defensive weapons which lie Lhere unused unless and until the Soviets unmistakably mount an attack on the United States designed to destroy this country. Only then docs it swing into action. If you talk about a defensive arms race in space I say all the better. If both sides race towards pulling a defen sive sys1em into place. and BOTH SIDES ac hieve tHat defen· sive system, the end result is to mak e nuclear tipped missiles ineffective and end the nuclear nightmare. That is very much the Presid ent"s hope. 0 State finds UB environment C9mplex T he mos t important thing Lhat came out of a recen t S tate Co mpt ro ll er\ audit of SUNY cli nical practice plans is that "the a udit ors have a be\ter understanding of the co mplicated environment here'" at U B. accordin g to Donald Larson. associate vice pre.1i"ident in the Office of Cli nical Affacrs. · The audit .was ge nerally favo rable to both the dental a nd medical schools. at UB. but questioned some a;pects of the medical schools plan. SU Y and U B adm inistrators say those! questions arise ~cause UB is qifferent from the o ther'SUNY centers in that it depend s on a net work of affiliated h o~pi tals rather than owning a teaching hospi tal. The o ri gi n al pra~ice plan was dc.•ig ncd for the three SUNY cen ter> that own · h.ospitals. Larson explained. But UB's faculty arc spread out at a number of affiliated inst1tutinns. "bur implcmenuulon of the plan has been difficult because we're so decen· tra.lizcd:' he s-aid. ··wc·v~Jwd to in terpret the spirit of the piSifat time~.·· The audit rccognites that UB"s plan is different than the others, but the plan is well underway and will continue to move forward. he noted. "Our implementation of the plan has been difficult because we are so decentralized; at times, we 've· had to interpret the spirit of the plan. " "'Even if it nitpicked a little. the audit recognizes how far we've... pro~ gre sed," Larson said. The plans pu t a ceiling on the amount of money that can be earned by medical and dental facultv. Accord· ing to State Comptroller Edward V. Regan. the purpose of the plan i!, to ensure that primary attention is given to teaching duties. "Thi~ is the fifth audit we've done on thb 1md finally - our voice ha~ been heard.'" Regan said. "'All our earlier audits found that SUNY adminis· tr::uors had ignored the policies of the Board of Tru;tees. The boa rd wanted plans in place to assure that SUNY" doctors would be teachers ·first - and making their private pfactice money second ... It was. a good audit and "we're pretty pleased.'" noted Edward Doty. vice president fo r finance and management. By and large. the audit shows that UB is adhering to the clinical practice plan and making the progress it should be making. he sai~. R egan ou1lined several policy provisions which he said require clarifications from SUNY Central. One involves accounting systems. The audit points out that the plans are required to have central accoun ti ng systems. but UB's Medical School has a decentralized system broken down by department. ··The imposition of a central ized accoun ting procedure cove ring the mul· tiplieity of affiliated hospital; and ' the • even greater multiplicity of pract ice sites within the hospilal sys tem would be impr;tctical." re ponded Ha rry K. Spi ndler. se ni o r vice cha ncellor in SU y.·, Office of i\dmin istra ti ve Affairs. · .. The ~a._n calls fo r cen tralization.·· added · La~. "That ·s difficult fo r us to achieve. .. · · UB"s .dental school docsn"t share this problem. Doty noted. because il has a clinic which acts as its own teaching hospital. -. • Anothe r clarificiation concerm the legal sta tus of the clinical practice plan>. Regan noted in the audit that none of the plans is incorporated or · otherwise formally o rgani}ed. pindl,er said he believes th~l status.. as well as othe r issues.~ part of the bar$aining process between ni1ed UniverMty Profe.sions (U Pl and the State. L ar~on noted that officiab arc wailing to sec if the new UUP agreement modifies any pan of the.'ie policies. A third clarification concerns membership. Policies are unclear regarding exemptions from the plans. Regan said. . Doctors whose pnmary job is not with SU Y and who have only a limited connection with Y may be exempted. he said. Ho"cvcr. SU Y has not adequately defined "'primary e mployment ... o r "limited connection ... leaving campuses .to use differing interprclations. S pindler e.plained that at B. faculty members who hold the M.D. and are considered academically full -time. regardless of method of com· pensation. have been included in the practice plan. This includes physicians with full· time or part·time State sala ries. physicians with only hospital salarie . and tho e geographical full-time physicians jointly recruited a nd appointed to a Universi ty department and to an affil. iated hospital .fee-for- ervice pos-ition. The inclusion of geographical fulltime facu lt y members has followed negotiations wilh . the chief executive officers of the major affiliated hospitals and represents hospital endorsement of the practice plan, Spindler wrote. True part-time and volunteer faculty have been exempted from the plan. A final clarification concerns clinical practice income. Clinical practice income is defmed as income from fees for professio nal services rendered in connectiOn with clinical pracrice, incl uding salaries paid by affihate institutions and excluding certain income earned during vacation or following completion of an employee's professional obligation to U Y, according to the audit report. Clinical practice income is supposed to be deposited with the plan rat)ler than be paid directly to the practi· !loner. The audit found that policies governing practitioner salaries paid by affiliated institut ions are not clear or uniformly applied by al l practice plans. Spindler replied that the Trustees' policies assume faculty members are fully salaried wi thin a Universityowned hospital and that affiliated hos· pitals are paying salaries for clinical services. This is not the case at UB"s Medical School. Although the State doesnl fully understand it, SUNY . recognizes that hospital salaries, paid to U B Medical School faculty members are base incomes, not fees-for-service or practice plan incomes. Larson said. 0 �April 10, 1986 Volume 17, No. 26 I II I RIGHIS By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Richard Hull Waller Simpson: animals aren't tor man. "I t's clear to me that most organis ms can feel pa in ," said Deborah Kohl of th e Depart· men t of Psychology at Buffalo State College. '' But pain and s uffering do n't necessarily go hand in hand.'' !( o hl was one of the speakers at a n interdisciplinary sym posi um on animal ... suffering held at Canisus College rcccmly. l'a in and s uffering are psychologically and physiologically separable , Kohl said: humans can have one with· o ut the other.

Kohl reported . l'eoplc "ho ,uffer frontal lobe lcsmm, after a stroke can have ~urfcring "ithout pain . s he s aid.

She indicated th a t the fact they feel pain h. enough withnut debating whether th ey suffer. M ichael Noona n of the Departmen t of Psychology at Canlsous tried to pin down animal suffe ring by outlining six cri teria for recognizing animal suffc rong. The cri teria were presented by Marion Stamp Dawkin~ in her book Animal Suffering. S he had been asked to determine whether chicke ns kept in crowded fac tory farms in England suffered. oonan ex plained . The firs t cri teri on is injury. It is reasonab le' to assume. Dawkins says. that injury ca uses pain and pain is connec ted to suffering. She i~ aware. however, that in humans '\Uf.fering c<Jn occur without pain. Sign~ of stress i~ the !>Ccond criterio n. When an animal suffers stress. it~ bodv -exhibi t ~ an ··endocrine storm" with high level> of 11drenalin. A blood sample can be taken from the animal and it> level of adrcna lin compared to average amoun t ~ fo und in ammals of that species to see if n 's sufftring stress, Noonan said. T~ere are a couple of problems. he poi lfted out. The very act of taking blood can cause stress. If a researcher wants to determine whether living in captivity causes stress to an animal. he may have no average data to use for compa ri son if all of the ani mal s studied are in captivity or recently captured. When animals are under stress. their reproductive cycles ge nerai!y stop, he .. said . So the. high egg production at the fac t ory farm probably means th e chickens are not under stress. A third point to look at is beltavioral stress. This might be something as . obv ious as an animal wri th ing on the gro und. oonan sa id. But it's. hard to ' interpret ani mal behavior. What m6st people interpret as a-grin in a chimpanzee ts actually a fear grimace. he pointed out. Ano th er criterion is making a compariso n wi th nature. Taking away what the animal had . in nature may cause frustration or boredom. For instance. Noonan said. a killer whale who is used to swim-ming very fast in a straight line might be frustrated if Co nfined in a s mall tank. But is a whale fr ustrated .if it is fed rather than havi ng to hunt on its own? It is not clear what causes frustration . he said. The animal's free choice is a powe rful tool to fi nd ou t what causes it suffering, Noona n said. T he animal will avoid what. it doc~ n 't like and go to what it likes. In the ca.-.c of th e facto ry farm. Da\\ kins put a chicken between th e factory farm cage and the field . Surprising!~. the chicken took the Cage. The chicken had lived its whole life in the factory farm and pro babl y found the field frig hte ning. Noonan no ted. T he animal may have learned helplessness. The fina l criterion i~ to put yourself in the animal 's place. Noo nan said. T hi s doesn't mean we !<.hould co mpare anima ls to humans. only that we sho uld trv to thin k as the animal wo uld. • A human , fo r instance. might not like to live in a cave. But it's fine for a bat. ' Someone steeped in the behavior of th at species, the way Jane Go_odall is with chimps. is needed to determine when the an imal is suffering. he said . B e la Babus. d irector of the Aquarium of iag~ Falls. assured the audience that "Tm a real nice g uy. l love animals: I \ 1C spent most of my life around animals." But at the aquarium, he puts animals · in to captivi ty where th ey won't li ve normal lives. He does it. he said. to learn more about the animals and to teach people abou tCI#c'm. The more we know about the ani mals. the more we can avoid ca usi ng them s uffering. he said. The captive anima l ~ are an educatio nal tool to enlighten peo ple about animals and the need to protect their enviro nment. For inslltnce. seve ral dolphins were kept in ca pt ivi ty to film the se ries "Flipper." h made people more aware of the animals a nd th e threat to them from the tuna indu stry. The animals who were filmed as Flipper "gave their live~ in a noble ge ture if they aved thousands of their brethren," Babus said. The idea of cruelty was discussed by Richard Hu ll. a~ociatc professor in philosophy and assistant professor in medicine at U B. A person doc) not have to take pleasure in causing pain in order to be cruel. he said. To be cruel. a person mu~t ~im pl y be indifferent. If you believe a minn ow ~ uffe rs when yo u put it on the hook a~ bait. and you're ind ifferent to th at s uffering beca use your goa l is to catch a larger fish. then yo u're crue l. Hull said . But Noonan. who also actCd as th e moderator, noted that when parents innict sufferin g o n a child by not lt tting him stay ou t jill nig ht . the parent is not considered cr uel. A dog may be · sca red and s uffering if he goes_ to .the veterina ri ao. but we don.'t co nsider the owner cruel: there is a greater good. But as a ques ti oner from th e audience pointed out. is this greater good for the victi m or perpeto:atafl If • dog ~ uffers during housebreaking. it's fo.r the owner's good. not the dog's. A cost / benefi t a nalysis must take place, oo nan said. h must be asked whether the benefit gained by people or the animal ou tweighs potential suffering. nimal s were placed o n canh as tools for man's end s. said Matth ew Smith. director of the ln• titu te of Faith and Ju !J.ticc at Canisiu~. This is the Judc o-C hristian perspective that has shaped o ur cu lt ure. value~. gove rnment . and philoso phy. he said. Smith gave a number o f examples from western philosop hers and the Bible, dating back to the creation story o f Genesis. In that story. God creates the universe and seu, up a hierarchy with man above animal~. But Walter Simp>on. president of the Animal Rights Advocates of WeMcrn New Yo rk . rebulled the idea that animab arc ·h ere for man's usc. "Animals a re sentient creatu re~ who can ~uffcr. They're not here as reso urces fo r humans." said Simpson, who is also an energy officer at U B...., hey're here fo r th c m se lv e~. or th ey're just here." The animal rights movement "challenges human arrogance t hat o ur superiori ty justifies o ur exploitation o f animals." he said . Peo ple have rather selective mo rality whe n it co mes to anima ls. he said. Simpson advocates vege tarianism which makes even people in his own grou p uncomfortable, he admiued. He talked about an expcri menl he was faced with in college in which a frog had to be killed. That experiment could have been don e once and filmed. saving hundreds or thousands of frogs. Simpson said. " Wh at are we tenching, life sciences or death l\cienccs'!" he asked . The anima l righb movement tries to sc n!-.i ti t.c people who have been subjected to "psychic numb ing.'' he said. Describing it as one of th e most. pathetic th ing; he had seen in ~is life. Simp~on related an incident where a yo ung girl cau~ht a fi>h . After it had been Oopping about on land for several minutes. she sc reamed at it. ..Why don) you dieT' "Animal rights groups tend to be militant because they want a fund amental change in society.·· Simpson sa id . His group is affiliated with a national group that has engaged in civil disobedience. Other groups have gone as far as break-ins . and while he doesn' endorse t hat , he said he can understand it. "Animal ri)lhts is more than just an appeal for compassion· it's a fight for justice," he concluded. 0 A �Apr1110, 1986 Volume 17, No. 26 \ Letters 'Spectrum' editor sets· us straight EDITOR: Your article on the Gell(•fation on 3/ 27 thoroughly justifies the Repor1er 's popular nickname the Distorter.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Ethical issues forum considers pay equity topics By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO · P ay equit y and comparable worth were two of the topics discussed at las t week's program ·on ''Ethical Dilemmas and Legal Iss ues: Employment in Higher Epucation." Patrici a A. Hollander, an adjunct associate professor in social sciences at UB and a practicing l:twyer, spoke on the legal issues. Thomas M. Mannix, SUNY associate vice chancellor for employee relations and personnel, spoke on ethical dilemmas. When ·there's a dispute concerni ng pay equity, the jobs in question must be shown to be "substantially eq ual" to those that get higher pay, Hollander said, although they don't have to be exactly th'e same. She gave the exa mple of a case whe re a number of female . faculty was discovered that salary was really awarded on an ad hoc basis. The moral is that if your institution says it awards raises on merit , make sure a merit system really ex ists , Hol - lander said. "Market factor.s" had been cited in one case as a reason .. for pay inequity. The argument was that market condition s are such that they permit th e existence of .. men's jobs" and .. women's jobs," Hollander ex plained. But · the judge ruled against th at argument , saying the very reason the Equal P~y Act was passed was to elim- inate that kind of discrimination. The idea of comparable worth ~ reviewing jobs and setting up new classifications and salaries for jobs - is not new. she pointed out. But it hasn't been done regularly. Therefore, jobs traditionally held by women are slipping further and further behind. It's a big . task to review jobs, she members brought a suit agai nst Geor- said, and the government sector seems gia Southwestern College. The women to be leading the way. The private sector is looking at the results and realizing that pay equity · were successfUl in showing that their teaching was substantially the same as -the teaching done by males, but the ma:Jes were pa id more, Hollander said.

Comparing teaching jobs across disci plines, for example, in Eng- will cost companies a Jot of money. ~ women are saying, ·ves, that's what we had in mind '," Hollander noted . "While it's a just thing to do, it requires a lot of financial planning. It's not a min~ event." lish and sociology, might be appropriate. Women do nor have to be paid as much as men if the differences are based on seniority, merit, productiv ity, or any system other than sex, she said . In the Georgia case, the college said its ~s tem was based on merit. But when the evidence came out in cou rt . it M anni x noted that the UUP's Young study on comparable worth in professional ranks in SUNY should be out later this spring or in early summer. Pending the ratification of the UU P contract , there will be $9 million available to implemeQt the study . By the time the union negotiations roll around again in 1988, there should be a redesigned salary program. " My guess is that by 1990, you won't recognize what we had in 1982, if it's done right," Mannix said . Mannix also discussed the ethics concerning rati ng an employee's wo rk . .. If deficiencies become known in an employee's work, does the employee know about them?" he asked. Too often a person goes blissfully through his probation period because he has pieces of paper telling him his work is fine , even if ·the supervisor thinks it's not, Mannix said. The s upervi so r is n't doing the employee a favor since the employee has no chance to improve, he said . Also, at the end of his probationary period, those things not written down are nonetheless remembered by the s upe.rviso~ and the employee isn't given continuatiOn. Mannix noted that there are times when people at a campus insist an employee has to go, but the person's file describes him as a cross between Einstein and Schweitzer. In his opinion, the campus can just suffer with the bad employee "because you created the file ," Manni x said. One evaluation de sc ribed an employee as ··very, very satisfactory." bin~ ork for was W discussed by Hollander. For in tance. if a faculty another topic membe r develops a new comp.uter program, who owns it? It ·s cons1dered a literar\ work and is su bject to copyright . she noted. Traditionally, a book written by a faculty member belongs to that person . she said . Cynics would say that's onl y because traditionally there hasn't been much money to be made on faculty's books. But computer programs might be highly commerciaL If a faculty member gets a reduced teaching load in order to produce a computer program and the arrange- ment is clearly understood through a letter or some kind of document , then the situation is very different, she said. Problems arise when people don1 th ink ahead to clearly outline expectations before a successful product is made. If a student produces a computer program in the classroom or as part of his graduate work, the consensus is that he owns it, Hollander said. That's true even if the student used university equipment, but the university may charge a student to use the equipment on his own time, she noted . If the student is an employee who was hired to create a computer pro- ''I'm still trying to figu re out what gram, the court will look ~t how much the school is paying him.

False on both counts, accordin'g to )ohn E. Carroll, Ph .D . . an international environmental issues expert who has been active in acid rain concerns since 191J:.. . T he term "acid ra in'' was coined more than 100 yea rs ago, When a Brit· ish pollution.. inspector noted Jhe presc_ncc of sulfuric aci.d in the precipita· lion that fell over Manches ter, a highly-developed industrial area that burned coal as fuel. So much for recent and the Great ·Lakes. But the observation made in 1862 has c~calatcd into a se rious concern, both in Europe and North America, .said Carroll. a professo r of environ· mental conse rvation at th e Unive rsity of New Hampshire. His discussion on acid rain was s ponsored here las t week by U B's Great Lakes Program and the Law School's Project on CanadianAmerican Legal Iss ues. with suppon from the Sea Grant Law Program and the Envi ronm ental Law Society. Acid rain. Carroll said. is a public policy and international relations issue that has reached critical proportions in Wes t Germany, Sweden. Norway, and Great Britain as well as in Ca nada and the Uni ted States. A ce ntury after the problem first was observed ,. the ravages of acid rain are 50 se rious that only about 15 yea rs remain before West Germany's Black. Forest will be "decimated.'' Ca rroll estimated . And the forests and waters of the US and Canada are equally threa tened . The West Germans, who also have a region of heavy industry that uses coal for power and produces· large quantitic s of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants , he said, initially did not put much stock in the threat of acid rain. "But when they realized what those emissions were doing to the Black Fores t. they did a 180-degree turnaround in a period of 30 or 60 days." A cid rain' is produced when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides common pollutants ~ enter the atmosphere and return as rain , sleet, snow, any other type of precipitation, or even as what Carroll called ·"dry deposition.'' The results are forests of dymg foliage a nd waters that cannot support life. Coal-burning industry is not the only Culprit. atural causes, including volcanic eruptions and forest tires, are responsi ble for 10 per cent of the pollutants that become · acid rain , Carroll said . Human causes, such as industrial and automobile emissions, are responl;ible for the remaining 90 per cent. ""Here in North America. we have had si nce 1978 an increasingly bilateral problem ... between emitting areas and receiving areas, .. he said. According to Carroll, between 50 and 55 per cent of the acidity in ·rain that falls over Canada comes from so urces in the United States, a fact that the US government is willing to admit. And Canada is aware of its own emissions; but even if Canada manufactured no pollutants that contribute to acid rai~, the country still would ~e faced wtth the effects of substantl31 emissions from the US. On the other hand, "we also receive emissions from Canada - at best 18 per cen t of our problem, and most of that falls in the Adirondacks," Carroll said. Quantity of the emissions is compounded by the comparative geographical vulnerability of the two countries. "'The vast majority of Canada is not geographically and chemically well buffered." Carroll added that the vast majority of the US, on the other hand , is well protected from the effects of acid rain , "or perceives itself to be." The majority of Canada's population and its woodlands lie in the path of atmospheric patterns that bring pollutants from industrial areas including those in the US. ' " In the US, for the most part, where the people are and where the votes are, are well protected ," Carroll contrasted. "Its ravages are so severe that West Germany's Black Forest is doomed. " He added that in some geographica l areas. the natural buffering may be .enhanced· by an alkaline soil that counteracts acid rain. "But buffering capacity doesn) last forever. In some places it could be a couple of centuries before the buffering capacity is worn away." In other areas, there may be only a couple of years' grace. Another factor in the problem of acid rain is a population 's awareness of the problem and of how far-reaching its effects can be. "Ca nada first became aware (of acid rain) when it burst onto the scene in 1978," Carroll said. By 1980, threequarters of that country's population was aware of it. " In 1980, only 15 per cent of Americans had tlic foggiest notion of what acid rain .was about ," and that minimal awareness was concentrated in New England, the Adirondacks ~ and the Minneapolis-St. Paul regions - areas that already had begun to feel the devastation. Today, with about 90 per cent of the Canadian population aware of the effects of acid raih, consciousness has climbed to about 50 per cent in, this country. awareness will continue t o climb," Carroll predicted . ··us I n the meantime, however, the issfle has created diplomatic tension between the two countries. Canadia ns, Carroll explained , are a forest-oriented society, with paper and wood products composing an impor· tant part of their industry. .. We cannot prove acid rain is destroying the forests . . . (but) to make beheve the issue is not a problem is grossly incorrectl" he said. .. We have a whole generation of Canadians growing up with additional reasons to dislike the United States, and we are a~tively feeding that.'' US policies regarding the acid rain issue, Carroll said, have fai led to address the problem in any direct way. .. Frankly, the Reagan administration ·s position has been very consistent," he said. ·:Jt stands foursquare opposed" to doing anything. Last week 's meeting between Ron.ald Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was the first time the president has acknowledged that su lfur dioxide and other pollutants emitted by coal burning can result in acid precipitation that pillages forests and water· ways. Previously, the administration had called for more studies to determine the causes of acid rain and measures to alleviate its destructive effects. However, as a result of the MulroneyReagan discussio ns, the president was expected to go alon~ with recommendations mad e in a jotnt ·report released last January by special envoys Drew Lewis. former secretary of the Department of Transportation. and former Ontario Pr~ mi e r William Davis. The report calls for the US to spend $2.5 billion over the next five years for a clean-coal demonstration program to test technologies th at would reduce sui- here are several means of substa.o\iaiTy reducing the emissions that believed to cause ac id rain, atcording to Carroll. · · .. Wet sulfur scrubbers are . a proven technology. They are good on 90 to 95 per. cent of sulfur dioxide emissions. but they. ha.v.e no effect on nitrogen oxides." He a!lded that a major prob_. lem with the technology is cost. Equipping industrial operations with wet s ulfur scrubbers increases the costs of building plants and producing energy by about 75 per cent. For a coal-burning electrical plant, a common source of energy in the Midwest, this would increase costs to consumers - ......- homeowners.. businesses. and industry alike ~ by abQttt 10 per cent. And while homeown e rs probably t ould absorb a 10 per cent hike in utilities costs, th e effects on industries that consume large amOunts of energy would be felt nationwide, and could be the final blow to the manufacturers themselves. · Carroll noted that the most hard hit would be the automotive and steel manufacturers in the_'"industrial heartland ... of states s uch as Ohio. Indiana, and Michigan. Saddling these plants with th e expense of wet sulfur scrubbers in order to reduce their emissions cou\d be crippling or fatal to industries that are vi taJ to rh e nation. 0 1 ro:~ :~~~d ~r: %o ~~i:! ~o~c~f~~!~ su res that would reduce emissions," Carroll said. · For example, he said, coal pre- · washing wou ld result in a 15 per cent reduction in sulfur dioxide: emissions. Switching the orientation of utilities from least cost dispatching techniques of production now being practiced, to least emission dispatching also would lead to a 15 per cent reduction. Carroll noted this would require a cha nge in federal policies that require utilities to provide their product at the lowest possible cosf to consumers, a regulation that does not take into consideration the social and environmental costs of producing energy as cheaply as possible. Another measure Carroll recommended w~s using a mix of low sulfur and high sulfur coal in coal-burning electrical plants. Most energy at thi< point is produced by high sulfur coal; however, the fuel also produces a higher quantity of su lfur dioxide. He recommended a mix of the two fuels rather than sole reliance on low s ulfur coal in order to avoid different envi. ronmental hazards that would be caused by mining the fuel , found almost exclusively in the western U nited States. Mining low sulfur coal cou ld cause a shortage of water in the West, he said. .. As . YOU know we also could s"wit'ch to nuclear (energy) and have environ men· tal problems of a different type - but nuclear power doesn't contribute to acid rain." But even these measures would not entirely solve the problem of manmade emissions and acid rain , he noted. The real solution lies in a more pervasive social issue. "The real problem relates to. reduc- · tion in demand ," he said. .. Acid rain is p art of a much larger whole . . . and tfiere are many, many more activities than coal burning that are cofitributing to the problem.... It's a broader air pollution problem." ·11 all has to do with tho old saying that what goes up must come down . 0 �v..._ 17, No. 25 lbn:h27,1111 Paid parkin·g at Amherst?

W omen who are unhappy in their jobs are more likely to usc shopping as a form of escape, and women having problems at home , particularly in power relations with their _htUbands, often use shopping to beat the blues, to recapture a sense of power and , at times, as a way to retal iate a&ai_n st tht:ir~ mates. I ntcrestingly, Allesi observed, twothird s of the sample reported knowing at least one woman whom they conside red an "addictive shopper," though nollF of-the women questioned · felt they fit th is category. When ' asked why they thought . th ese women shopped excessively, the respondents attributed ~he behavior to two . main • Those arc the · conc1Us1ons of an exploratory st udy cond ucted by UB. doctoral candidate Bonnie J. Allcsi which involved 93 women from a small upstate city in ew York . As the social class of her ~e· spondcnts rose. Allcsi alSo found that they tended to view shopping as a mQrc pleas urable experien ce. H owcve r . as social class- declined. women were . more likely to think of shopping as a necessary evil, ping fo r ora.om<auc..... reasons fill a family or a . personal need , and for only as long as · it took them to find the best buys. No( su rpri singly these women also experience much more appn;hension about matching availab le products to their specific needs. Working class respondents also s hop primarily for instrumen t al rca- sons. she notes. but are more likely .. to find their social needs filled" through shopping and to find the ac t ivity .. relaxing."" "This makes sense if one considers the limited o pportunities for social recreation that the work schedules and paychecks of work' ing women typically provide," explain s Allesi. a ~rad uate s tudent 1n U B's Department of Sociology whose disse rtation focuses on th e economic, p syc ho social and political implications of women 's sho ppin g behavior. Social class was measured by using an adaptation of Hollingshead 's I.S. P . Index, which quantified the ed ucational leve l a nd occ upational status of respondents and, if they were married. their husbands. The su rvey used mail questio nnaires, with half the respondents subsc;quently interviewed for qualitative data. The sa mple co ntained only women ·who had at least one child in their househOld who was no olde r than 18 years of'agc. sco red by Allesi's findings that more than half of the women in the sfudy confirmed that s hopping gives them a sense of achievemen\ , provides a .. wCIcome change from daily routines, .. " helps them. feel beuer emotionally," and "gives them the satisfactio~ of getting what they want to get." A large perce ntage also admiued that shopping helps the,m "forget' everything else for awhi le," get over d e pression and ' experience furi and · a sense of creativity. Although the majority of the sa mple found s hopping pleasurable , Allesi emphasized that a more._complex picture emc;rged when s he probed the respondents as to what they considered the Qs5t and worst aspec1s of shopping. More than three-fourths of the women .. readily identified aspects of shopping th at need to be changed ," she said , with !heir biggest gripe being ins.uffici e nt numbers of sales personnel to assist with purchases. In . an effort to economize. stores are forcing customers to serve themselves. which doesn 't sit well with women consumers. Allesi advises, regardless of their economic background or why they shop. 0 reasons: a lack of other leisure-time activities and in terests and a strong desire to look attractive, the latter forcing women to s hop frequently for complementary makeup. clothes. and accessories. The younger the respondent. thC more likely this was seen as the cause for com pulsive shopping, Allesi relates. The fact that women turn to co nsu mpti on as a type of tonic is under- lh j< l\ <I 1\1 < II'< l\1 '-I' I ther irritating aspectS of shopping pinpointed by the respondents were misleading or dishonest advertising. pus hy sales people on co mmission , inadequate stocking of stores and poor ' store o rganization, billing ana credit procedures. " I found a dichotomization of the shopping experience, in which its best aspects relate to the fulfi lling or psyc hosocia l and expressive need s not met in th e work or home environment, and its worst aspects relate to the frustration s hoppers experience in trying to meet their economicinstrumental needs ," Allesi explained. Since most of the women in the sample fell between the ages of 18 to 40. Allesi did not expect them to raise such strong objections over the growin g self-serv ice principle in s tore s. thinking that they would be willing to forego the service for cheaper prices. • See Women who shop, page 12 . and Shol?-and Shop and Shop �Men:h 27, 11186 Volume 17, No. 25 'Generation' mag_ azine 'It's the best,' its editors say By JOSE LAMBIET A s shown by the deep financial pro blems at The Spectrum; the lives of campus student publica tions arc .fragi le.

Tammy Baker of The Praise The Lord Club endorses a similar line. • There arc volumes on "Christian weight loss" and "Christian money management." And now there are sex manuals writ· ten by and for evangeliCals. Lewis and Brisseu, who earlier did a content analysis of secular sex manuals which detected a shift in emphasis from sex as work in the 1950s to sex as play in the 1970s, have used the iame technique on 13 "evangelical sex manuals. • Their findings, reponed on in an anicle eniitled "Sex as God's Work, • illustrate · the extent -to which the evangelical movement bas accommodated to the ~ larger society in regud to sexual mat· ten.

A single .common theme is that religion is good for sex and that sex is good for religion; some of the authors invoke Adam and Eve, reporting that the first couple "made love before sin entered the garden." Lovemaking is thus deemed a natural clement in God's plan for the human race. How~vu. Christian sex has to be more than biology. Physical gratification apart from a spiritual content is said to characterize the sexual lives of only the unenlightened . Sex can never be free nor ever totally personal. It is a spiritual relationship between persons and God, one which Lewis B. Smedes in Sex for Christians suggests may con· linue into the hereafter: "If sexuality is what God gave us to reflect bis own note that: • The lr8dJtlon8l IIOijctn ~ .. lelilperecl AI _ . . onlY lo • Hmltecl degree. A husband and wife both have a right to each other's bodies, but this seems more true for the former than the latter. the sociologists point out. What is emphasized most ts a division of labor: a different and unequal model of sexuality. In this regard, one manual informs. " lmpas· sioned love comes naturally to a man because of his stronger sex drive. Most women have IQ cultivate the appetite for passionate loving, but be sure of this - they have the capacity to learn." The divtsion of sexual labor is most accentuated .in discussions of male leadership and female submission, Lewis and Brissett repon. Most manuals concur that male dominance is the natural or<ier of things. In Ducowring th~ lntidulte Marriage, R.C. Sproul 'offel'l a biblical exhonation: "What Christian woman would find it difficult to be submissive if she wen: married to Christ? But that's the •problem no husband is exiiCtly lite Christ.. ...

"The Special Major degree is one that is unique, interdiscipli nary. and involves a large amount of independent study work ," according to Dr. Allan Canfield, chairman of the Special Major Committee. The program gives students the opportunity to plan their own curriculum. choose the courses they would like to take, and preuy much determine their own destiny while at college somethi ng no other major can do. In order to be accepted into the program, the prospective st udent . who shou ld be at least a second-semester . sophomore. must meet certain requirements. First , a minimum grade point average of 2.5 is expected, and mu st be maintained throughout the duration of the program. Next, the student should meet with his or her advisor to discuss a possible title for the major. Some examples ·of majors now in process include everything from journalism to Japanese area studies, music management to neurobiology. sports administration to poe try and technology. a nd everything in between . Canfield empHasized that uniqueness is important because any proposal that'" is not so undl y academic or can be done within a major already offered at UB will be turned down. ·•we will reject proposals if they are not soundly academic," s~·d Canfield. "We don't want students o major in ' How to Get a Job, · for· in a nee . ., After comi ng up with an appropriate topic. the student then should draft a sta tem ent of intent and purpose.

What resulted is a rc'lationship where everyone wins. accOrding to 'Richard Dollinger, associate professor of electrical cngineerlng.Dollinger contacted Michael Dupre, elec trical substation su pervisor, when he needed some help constructing a shield room that WJS needed ior some experime nts. A shield room is like a thertnosfor elect ricity: ii encloses large surges of hot efectricity wiJhin its walls but keeps the cold co mputers outside froni being damaged. The main frame 'tlf the room was purchased and erected by an outside contracto r bL&t the electrical wiring. grounding, and shielding had to be done to complete the job. The sol ution was si mple and cost effectiv~ have UB electricians install the wiring and have Dollinger d~ ~rounding and shielding . .. The electrical shop has a strict electtical code and can do the wiring," Dollinger said. "I'm trained to do grounding and shielding. The combination was perfect." He estimates the University saved anywhere from SIOO,OOO to S250,000 by cont racting within UB for the wiring. .. Building th e room would have been impossible if we didn' have the help of the ele~t~ical shop." Dollinger noted. ElecKicians Steven Brochu and Michael Garguiolo have worked with Dollinger and Dupre. and graduate student s John Shea and Michael Belling for the last yea r assembling and testing the shield room in Bonner Hall. "We were capable of doing the wiring. but because of regulations (the electrical >hop) had to do it," Belling said ... They have been very helpful to us. They have wo rk ed around our sc hed ule whenever possible." Belling. who plans a career in power engineering. said learning about and u~ing shield rooms was important to hi s educa tion. - L-R: EleclrlchJna RlcMrd Smllh, Paul Gomey end MlchHI Gergulolo; grad lfudenla MlcMel Belling end John Shea. ~I think shield rooms will become more important as we deal more and more with computers," he said.

The room. encased in finr. copper mesh. is designed to allow th e 100,000 volts th e experiment requires to be ·generated without disturbing computer analysis being done just a few feet from the room . Shea had done some work on a shield room at the Ridge Lea Campus and has been involved with the construction of the Bonner Hall facility from th e onset. He aid the electrical work was "very professional." The room is capable of a 300,oo0 volt impulse," he said. " If you are anywhere near it you could be ki lled." For.that reason, safety interlocks were installed by the electricians to warn anyone who tries to enter the room while it is being used. l;he electrical .. noise" generated from the experiment, including power pulses, could harm the computers or high speed oscilloscopes being used to collect data. The room was necessary for this kind of operation. .. It would be a shame to have the computer or oscilloscope read the wrong data or need to get repaired ," Dollinger said. He demonstrated the room's effectiveness by ca rrying a radio into it. As he approached the room, the signal weakened; it disappeared as he entered the room. The room did not allow electrical noise into it and will not let noise out. "(Electrical Engineering) would come up with an idea and we'd come up with a circuit," Dupre said. '' It was a challenge. It is ve ry involved control-wise."

And while these unemployed persons may be grateful for th e sup po rt they receive from family and fri~nds , it fails to buffer them from the pSychological pangs associated n•ith their job loss. • The study, co nducted by Robert W. Rice, Ph .D .. Mark A . Bonacci. M.S. W. and Barbara B. Bunk e r. Ph .D., invo lved 48 men and women who were receivi ng counseling and financial and job assistance from a program for th e unemployed in Western New York. All subjects had been without work for a prolonged period. The purpose of the study was to examine if prior job involvement had any bc<~rings on perceived quality of life during a period of uncmp l oxm~nt. Job invo lvement was seen as dasunct from work involvement in that th e former concerns how closely o ne psychologically identifies with a specific job, while the latter refers to the per- :,on~tl importance one may place on ''ork in general. · " We assumed that people hig hl y involved in their jobs would have more to Jose from unemployment than would people with little :,cnse · of job invol\'emcnt," explains Rice, a social psyc hologist in the Department of Psychology and Schoo l of Management. .. Besides the economic and social cost of unemployment experienced by eve ryone during period> of unemployment , highly job involved people are lik ely to suffer a se riou s psychological loss as we ll si nce unemployment can leave them without thi s major so urce of selfesteem and self-definition ... Compared to th e pattern of responses drawn from national probability sa mples. the researchers found that their respondents ··descri bed themselves less positively in their feelings regarding their life accomplishment~, their selves. their lives as a whole, and with regard to respect they receive from o thers." They also described themselves as being "less happy." ontrary to what the team had theorized based on social support studies conducted by othcrs , they C foJ.Jnd that social s upport neither protected the respo ndents from the stressinducing effects of high job involvement and job loss nor helped them cope better with high stress. They originally had believed that the stronger the social su pport network. the less likely people were to experience "'deleterious personal outcomes." .. Agencies scekiOg to serve th e unemployed cannot assume that gene ral emo ti onal support from informa l social networks will provide a iluffer or coping mechanism that limits adverse effects of job los~ ... Rice advises. Because of this finding, t he resea rch team be lieves that the unemployed may better profit from other forms of support, s uch as concrete advice and trainmg in such areas as job sea rch skills and job availability. Moreover, pract.itioners should be aware that they may face a type of dilemma pr "Catch-22" situation when counselin g the unemployed , Rice cautions.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"It Wa$ the fir t of its kind ," Dirk Smith. vice president and co-founder of the club, said of the program. "It's good. It's not'just cheap effects. "It's more of a thinking show. It 's not like the later Buck Rogers series where they just go out and shoot." .. You watch it the first time and it's entertaining," agreed Andrew Schwartz. president and co-founder. I . t was "But as you watch it over and over you get a feeling for the characters and the subtleties of the plot." He· pointed to Spock. the logical one: Dr, McCoy, the emo tional one, and Kirk. the leader. The threesome is a classic combination that works in literature. he said. "All the people who watch the show can rela te to the characters in some way," Schwartz Stiid. "They're people yo u'd:like to get to know. That 's why the show works." Chuck Fried. research coordinator for the club. concurred. "They're like rea l people." Fried said . ''It's no t like 'S tar Wars' where yo u don~ care what Luke kywalker was like when he was a baby. ''You know who Ki rk is and who Spock is. You know that Scotty eats, brea thes, and sleeps the ship." T he activities of the club offer members a chance to get to know the characters even better. Every week episodes are shown for free to '"'Star Trek"-starvcd fans . A showing is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. today in Capen 31. Getting a chance to watc h the show is the basic reason the club was . formed, Schwanz said. Back home in Long Island , he watched it every night. In Buffalo. unless you have cable. it can only be seen Saturdays on a Canadian station , Channel 5. While the free showings help attract members, the club is trying to see if it can get permission from Paramount to charge admission as a fund-raiser. The Club is also looking in to showing the .. Star irek"' movies. The 38 members can engage in roleplaying games. structured much like "Dungeons and Dragons." Smith said. Each person chooses a character to play. Following a thick se t of basic rules which cost about SIS, they et out on a mission. The actual missions or adventures are purchased separately and cost another S6 to S 10. Not to be outdone by the Enterprise's computers, the .. Star Trek" Club has UB's mainframe tied into "Trekker,'' an information network, Schwartz said . ''There's ·o much itiformat ion you can't read it all,'' he noted . The network supplies such tidbits as tlie rumor that Paramou nt. which will probably release the mo vie "Star Trek IV" next summer. asked director Leona rd Nimoy (who also plays Spock) to usc comedian Eddie Murphy in the film . The answer was no, Schwartz said. He co mp ared th e proposed ro le for Murphy to Richard Pryor's role in th e Superman movie. " It would have ruined it." Schwartz said. l.j JJ 's group is also trying to build a loose fede ration with other clubs. Talks are alread y underway with iatrek, the Niagara Falls "Star Trek" club. Schwartz said. And UB membe rs are looking for information on the national dub. B's club has connections with a U new group at Buffalo State. Adam Alsilp. who wa. a member here. transferred to that school and is starting a club the re. Schwanz added that Alsop is working on a .. Star Trek'' novel and a "Star Trek " trivia book . . Perhaps next year. u·B's club plans to organize an event along the lines of the "Star Trek" weekend held here two years ago. before the club was formed . The event featured Walt~r Koenig, who plays Mr. Chekov, and George Takc1, who plays Mr .. Sulu. With the impetus of the club behind him. Schwart7 envisions scheduling a grander eve nt . even a convention. with imoy or Willia m Shatner (who pla ys Captain Kirk) attending. ·· In about a month, the club plans to hold a trivia contest. But w:itch out these.lrrekkies are tougher than a Horta moving through rock when it comes to detail. When they unwrapped some new costume shins. the members were aghast to lind that the emblem for the blue shirt had been sewn on the red shirt by mistake. To anyone but a Trekk ie. th e emblems appear almost identical. Where d o the y gel all of this information? The re are plenty of reference materials available, Fried said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A By th e end of the third year of the cont rac! ( 1987-MS). all professionals. librarians. and faculty will be making at least SIM.OOO. sa1d Maria Rudden . assistant director of the Go\·ernor's Office of Employee Relati o ns (OER). All those represented by UUP are to receive five per cent increases in each year of the three-year contract. The first year's increase will be retroactive to Sept. 12 , 1985, for calendar year appointments. and to ov. 7, 1985. for academic appointments, amounting to the equivalent of a four per cent retroactive increase. The raises will work like this: In the first year. everyone will get what amounts to the four per cent retroactive incre:ase. Then if professio nals or librarians ~till have salaries that arc below the minimum se t for faculty · at \arious co rre spon ding ranks . thos e sala ries will be brought up to the minimums for facully. lnMead of having three different sca les for professionals. librarians. and faculty, those three scaleS' will be collapsed into one, Rudden explained. Librarians and professionals some times felt like second-clas~ citizens because they operated on different wage scales. In the second yea r (effective July I, 1986) c\erybody gets a five per cent increase. In the third year (effective July I, 1987) everybody first gets the five per cent increase. The minimum salary for the lowest level of professionals, libararians. and faculty, which would have been $17,622 at that t i \ will be Th e new Emptre Health Plan w1ll be ava1lable Protection for long -term pari-lime employees IS mcluded D increased to 518.000. Rudden said. Those with academic-year appointment s will get a proportionate increase. "Pro rata" part-timers will be eligible fo r this increase in minimum salary also. she said. Most pan-timers arc paid per course. llul "pro rata" parttimers. those who arc harcd to perform a portion of the professional obligation in addition to teaching. would be eligible. · "It still doesn't ma~e us equivalent to what some cw York State teachers in K through 12 without a Ph.D. get, but it's a step in the rig ht direction." said Roy SlaunwHite. president of the Buffalo Health Sciences Chapter of UU P. lso included in the agreement b a A new health plan called the Empire Plan. The State has folded the old Group Health Incorporated (G HI) and the Plan into the new Empire Plan. exp lained Carol Schlageter, spokeswoman for OER . Stat~-wide The core plan involves a list of more than 19,000 health care providers State-wide, she said. Hospitalization , routine checkUps. illness, injury. accidents. and blood test arc covered in full when seeing a participating provider, she said . When an employee sees a provider not participating in the plan, Empire will pay 80 per cent of covered costs and the union member would pay th e other 20 per cent. Routine checkups would not be covered in this event. Schlageter said. Specific enhancements for UU P are still being worked out, she noted . Union members may choose a health maintenance Organization instead of the Empire -Plan. Other as pects of the UUP agreement arc: • A one-time S500 performance award will be paid to professionals who have permanent appointment status now as well as those who achieve that status within the life of the con- tract, Schlageter said. Slat,~nwhite called this award "earnest money." For 12 years. the union has been asking the State to implemen t a career ladder for professionals. Although it was promised in the last contract, the State reneged. he said. This money was intended to convince the union that the StaJ_e is really serious this time. • Protection for long-term part-time employees will be provided. According to Schlageter, part-time employees are now hired as temporary employees and may be terminated at any time. Under the new agreement. a temporary employee can be eljgiblc for a term appointment of not more than three years. Then the employee mu~t be given 45 days notice at the end of that term if he or she is not going to be renewed. If the employee is being ta'minated because cou~ enroll.me.nt is inadequa1e. the 45-day notice· is not required, she said. To be eligible for this term employment, an employee must serve four of eight semesters, not be cotasidere~ a ''casual employee... then serve eagh t more semesters. not counting summer. Schlageter said. • In each of the three years of the • contract, $50,000 will be put into a labor-management committee to work toward correction of affirmative action inequities. Slaunwhite said. • One per cent of the unit payroll will be paid at the discretion of the SUNY Trustees in the form of merit raises. • One per ce nt of lhe payroll in each of the second and third years, a total of S II million. will be se t aside to i~plement the promoti o~ and classi~­ cation study for professaorials that as still underway. • S I million in the seco nd year and S2 million in the third year will be set aside for salary disparity adjustments for academic and proressional starr. The disparity committee of the 1982-85 contract, which had a good track record, ~ill be reco nvened, said Rudden. The committee's first charge will be to look at people who have I0 years or more service and arc below average salary for their rank. • UUP members are not lpsing • See UUP Agreement, page 2 �Merdl13, 11118 Volume 17, No. 23 T he gradu ate School of Social Work , once scheduled for "elimination." has embarked on a rebuilding. program to bring it into line with peer programs at Berkeley, Maryland , Michigan, and Wisconsi n.

Dinner and a ·show with John and Bertell By JOSE LAMBIET ohn LeBoutillicr looks like what the president of Accuracy in Academia should look like. He is tall and skinn~. his short brown hair is- well combed. and his face IS that of an intelligent and StOiC man. His classy grey suit is like James Bond's after a stunt: never wrinkled . To summari1e. he is verv much the con~ervativc Ivy leaguer. · Berte I Oilman looks like "hat a Marxist professor at New York University should look like. He is shoner and stocky. his curly hair is long at the back although absent in front: his face is covered with a greyish beard and adorned wilh thick. round glasses. His tic and the lir~t button of hi .!lhirt are undone; he wears a corduroy suit and a gold miner's hat bought . he said. in Cripple Creek. Colorado. To summari7c, he is very much the liberal Marxist philoso pher. LcBoutillicr, who at 27 was tl>e youngest congressman elected in 1980, v.as formerly the Republican representative for assau and Queens counties. The prc>ident of AlA graduated from Hanard with a master's in hiMory. He b also known for his book. Han•ard /la/e; Amrrica. He was paid S2.500 to appear at the debate. Oilman earned a Ph .D. in politics at Oxford University, England. ''It will be Oxford vs. Harvard." he said about the debate. He currently teaches a class called .. Marxism" at New York University and ha1; written a half dozen books. Left Academy among others. Oilman's fee to debate at U B was $1,500. . "Both have been very reasonable about their fees," commented the SA Speaker's Bureau's Bill Kachioff. SA sponsored the exchange between LeBoutillier and Oilman at the Katharine Cornell Thea{re, March 5. The two men are antagonists in almost everything .. But before and after 1he debate they were as civil to each other as one can be, calling each other "John" and "Berte!." They had nown together from cw York City the day of the debate and their room at a Holiday Inn were next to each other. At the pre-debate din.ner held by SA at Daffodil's, LcBoutlihcr and Oilman . argued as long-time friend> would: Talking about the format of the debate. Oilman jokingly requested a J two-hour opening statement. "It's better than the eight-hour manifesto you and Fidel were working OQ," replied LcBoutillier. And as these diaiQgues were taking place. heads at the table swun g alternately from the left. where Oilman sat. to the right. LcBoutillier's place. During dinner. topics ranged from Star Wars to Bernhard Goet7.. with stops at Ronald Reagan and America's farmers. . About Reagan, LcBoutillier said "he is a man like any other man." The AlA official also told anecdotes from behind ihe scene on Capitol Hill. "Congressional humor is like locker-room humor: dirt y sex joles.• he said. successful politician. LcBoutillier A pleased himself to give a few campaigning tips to the student leaders at dinner Bob Heary. David Grubler. and Kachioff. "It is always helpful to quote Kenned y or Roo sevelt ," he advised Grubler. But LeBoutillier also talked about hi~ pre ent work. "I have been devoting my entire life to POW's in Vietnam and Laos." he mused. "I predict that the problem will cause a big scandal in American politics before the end of the year. Some people in the government ha\e been covering up the fact that there orr POW's left in these countries. and they are not even trying to bring them back," he added. He cited Henry Kissin!er and Vice President George Bush among the main culprits. To Oilman's question as Lo what LeBoutilliu's role in the affair is. he replied si mply: ''I'm very involved." When he had to talk about AlA. LeBoutillier was just as noncommittal. At many times during dinner or at the debate, he appeared to have only vague ties with the Washington-based organization. ''I'm a spokesman for AlA. I represent them ," he said. LeBoutillier. who said he does not know if any material from UB has been submitted to AlA , said that he was asked a few mo'nths ago to become president of the organization.

I. At the heart of the intellectual endeav.ors of the university arc openness in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge and openneSs of discussion and criticism. Hence all fortf!S of covert evaluation of expression undermine the basic spirit of the university community. 2. For academ•c fr~edom to be real, the university must be protected from C;l(ttmal pressures' by self-appointed groups upon the process of evalu ation of its faculty and st aff. The univenity has its Own Jongstandin~. multi-leveled, and multiplyaccountable system of evaluation mechanisms. 3. Professors welcome intellectual challenge and dissent in their classrooms: mdeed. they customarily work hard to evoke it. It i5 pan of the profe.~ional responsibility of the sc ~- teacher to supply a wide range of interpretations and v1ews. to insist that the quest for knowledge will never produce conclusions totally above dispute. and to demand only that the terms of discussion must adhere to the norm~. of reason and logic. Further. the univcrsaty provides many other platforms and manifold opportunities. outside the classroom. for open debate and for the pr~ntation of all idea~. popular or no1. The exchange of ideas in a cri tical spiri t is fundamenta l to the acadc-mic ethos. 4. Given these facts, we reject any a11empt by ~elf-selected. unaccountable, nr Ideologically motivated groups of whatever pcnuasion to interfere in the exercise of academic freedom within the university. We note that such attempts cannot be for academic ends smcc they undercut the essence of the academic prol·ess, bting attuned to s;oa ls that are foreign to the basic purpose of the univcnity. 5. In the pa.u the administrative leaders of SUNY 1Buffalo have steadfastly upheld academic freedom and have indicated that thty will not be swayed from this course by , external forces. We expect this proud tradition to continue. Additionally we, tQ.e faculty and staff of SUNY I Buffalo. "" represented through Uftited University Professions, reiterate our determination to protect academic freedom wherever it is challenged. To the extent that intimidation may be auempted, we stand ready to defend any affected individual through our formal grievance procedure. through legal r.ffons, and through the democratic political process. 6. We conunue to st ress that the tenure ~y~tem •., essential to msurr academic freedom and we will oppose any attempt to v.eaken it. We insist that the entire process of peer evaluation for appointment. promo· tion. and review must be upheld. !tO that ·academ•c freedom and professional stan· dards will continue. 7. Lest there occur any "chilling effect .. on the expression of ideas, we draw particular attention to the provisions in our legally binding contract that insure academic freedom (Article 9) and that prohibit any evaluative use of anonymous and unsolicited statements regarding an individual - or even their placement in personnel files (Article 31.1). These guarantees are also part of the .. Policies of the Board of Trustees"' of our 'university. 8. The university must consistently guard not only academic freedom. but our Constitution's First Amendment right to free expression.

NORMAN SOLKOFF Professor. Dept. of Psychratry MFCSA wants divestment in USSR also EDITOR: Millard Fillmore College Student Association abhors apartheid. In conjunction with Sub Board I. Inc .. we support divestment but feel that divestment from South Africa is not enough. Many other nations are oppressed and suffering in the hands of totalitarian governments. Our Association urges the st udents of UB to give their support not only to divestment, hut also to withd rawing their funds from the institutions that support the liS-USSR Trade and Economic Council. The US-USSR Trade and EConOmic Council and its members lobby to separate human rights from trade policy in America's dealings Wtth the USSR. This is not surprising. since the US members of the Council (such as Archer Daniels' Dwayne 0. Andreas and Pepsico's Donald Kendall) head multinationals which will benefit· from trade deals with the Politburo. It is even less surprising when one notes that the Soviet members are the heads of Soviet trade and industry ministries. i.e. , government officials and members of the Party. The Sakharovs have suffered at the hands of the Soviet r'egime - illegally si nce their 1974 press conference when they urged Western reporters to relay their support for the then-pending Jackson-Vanik Ainendmem. Detente, said Andrei Sakharov, must serve to open up the repressive society of the USSR; without strings, he warned, the West would regret its relaxed policy toward the Kremlin. It is precisely such a relaxed policy that has been consistently promoted by the Trade Council; were such a policy advocated towards South Africa, the public outcry would be deservedly great. In the spirit of' linking human rights and economic activity, we urge the other student governments at UB to join with MFCSA in divesting not only from South Africa's apanheid system, but from the trade group that proposes profits over human rights in Eastern Europe. -·BARBARA L.

"We are here to promore academic freedom and freedom of speech,'' he started, after being cheered by kalf the audience of 150. The AlA official said his group is trying to prevent the political biases of professors from being reflected . in .t'he. grades of their students. He cited the example of some ~classes he attended at Harvard in which students who agreed .with the professor received higher grades than those who didn 't. "Some professors are trying to penalize their students' fr.eedom of ex pres-· sian," he char~ed. ·He also inststed that , although lie is' a Republican, ·he - opposes all types of biases in class. •• we are for fair g rad - :~ ing. Indoctrination is the role of polit ical parties, not 1eachers. The classroom should not be mis used to preach politics." LeBoutillier claimed AlA is not doing anything woi'SC\ than what 60 Minutes does every week. "Some campus groups and publications grade teachers anyway, so why not AlA?' he asked. tHe pronounced himself .. amazed" at the reaction to the country's university professors who .. reacted so violently that they enhanced our stature."

Hi s conclusion was grectCd ·Qy wil<i applause. B oth speakers were th en allowed, by moderator Bob Heary. a tO-minute recapitulation. LeBoutillier called Oilman "a hypocri te."

The chimps preferred 1\elle -as the leader because she would share most generously, and Rock was least preferred , Menzel said. However, Rock was by far the dominant animal. Therefore, the researchers set up a competition to see who would get the bigge r following, he explained. One pile of food was show n to Be)le and another to Rock . Belle always got the bigger follPwiog. Rock, being too timid to go out on his own, would follow Belle, then chase her away from the pile of food. Belle tried a number of taclies. First, she would sit on ·the pile until Rock left. Eventu ally, he caught on and would. shove her aside. Then s he tried simply si tting nea r the food. But as Rock g_a't · close r to the food , s he got restles s. And though she would sit looking , away from the p il ~. her body woukl face- it. Rock would pick up on the se clues. M enzel indica ted. So Belle tried goi ng in the o pposite d irection. When Rock ran ahead, she'd double back and get the food. The researchers then showed· Belle a large pile of food and 'a small pile. Before. Belle w"uld go directly to the large pile firs t. But' when Rbck wa~ there. she led him directly to the s mtl l pile and even uncov!red it for him. ' then zi pped off to the large pile. The anima ls were prett y good at remembering where things were hidden. even if there were seve ral caches. "They could find a Life Saver anywhe..,_ in that field." Menzel noted . They'd also remember what was hidden and communicate th at to the others. If the cac he was a model sna.ke rather than food. they'd move more cauti o usly, thei r hair would stand on end, and they'd throw sticks rather than investigate the spot with their hands, he said. From these and similar experiments. Menzel said, our attitudes have cha nged. Monkey science Do chimps have 'intelligence'? "0 By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ur assessment of animal intelligence has ch anged greatly over the years," according to Emil Menzel, professor of psychology at SUNY at S~ony Brook. uwhen it comes to communication skills and percep tion, we're just beginning to learn about ani mals: We're finding that wasps and bees are doing more complicated things than psychologists 50 ytars ago thought monkeys were capab!e of..:' Mc::n7cl recently gave a speec h here as part of the "U niquely Hu man" series s pon sored by UB's Anthropology Research Museur.n. MenLcl has conducted primate research at Yerkes Laboratories. now located at Atlanta. and the Delta Primate Center in Louisiana. Hi s early interest in monkeys began in India where he was born and lived until the age of 12. Trained as an experimental psychologist. Menzel said he is interested in animals in g roup situa tions, rather than individually. "Are chimps intelligent'" he asked. "In my own experience. some times the thing that's most persuasive is not the formal experimen t, but the cases you didn't expect." ..r To illustrate, he showed slides of things the chimpanzees at the Delta Primate Center cooked up themselves. In their fenced-in enc losure, the chimps would find a branch on the ground. balance it' upright. and climb on it until it fell over. Thn. seemed to be the same type of beh.-·ior the psyc hologi>t Wolfgang Ko hler had observed in monkeys durmg World War I. Menzel said. But what Kohler's monkeys did as a means to get food. Menzel's did for the sport of it. One day, the chimps had broken into the compound building adjacent to their enclosure. "The toilet was jammed. lab jackets were scattered, and one c himp confronted me with a machete ... Menzel quipped. The researchers discovered that the chimps got in by bracing a branch against th e building and climbing up. The chimps had made the tran si tion between using th~ branch as a climbing " pole and using it as a ladder. About 10 days after the chimps had broken into the house , they found their way into the trees. This was surprising since electric shock wires had been placed on the trunks to prevent the chimps from climbing the trc;es and doing damage. They had· accomplished it by using communica tion to set up their branch " ladders ." ne ch1mp called Rock would glance down at a branch on the ground. then at the top of the tree. He 'd then climb onto the long, narrow platform that was built ne~r th~ trees. taking the 10-foot branch With h1m. When Gigi. a chimp whom he had been raised with , walked over, Rock tapped her on the arm. He held the bottom of the branch with his feet while she ~et the top against the tree trunk, past the wires. Another tap was the signal to start climbing. In three weeks , seven of the eight chimps could perform Rock's fea"' They go t so good, the director o rdered all of the branches the chimps used for 0 climbing removed from the enclosure to give the trees a chance to recover. Kohler had a rgued that the type of behavior exhibited by these chimps was a variation of an intelligence test , Menze l explained."'The animals were able to figure out a way around an obstacle. But later studies had questioned that theory. arguing that chimps just have certain manipulative traits, Menzel said. (It was once thought th at toolusing was primarily a human trait , but it has eve n been found in birds and insects. he added.) "My feeling from the way in which the chimps kept expanding on what they knew before is that it's more intelligence than not , .. he said. "What they did. how they acquired it, and how it passed from one individual to another forms a somewhat diffc:reot picture." H intelligence was not involved, they might have figured out one thing. but not adapted it to new situations. This was not a behavior the researchers had trained them to do, but somethi ng the chimpanzees developed on their own. Menzel added. The behavior spread from one animal to the others and the chimps later passed it on to their children . a s nake or alligator. in· the grass. After showing it to o ne chimp, they wanted to see if th at ani mal could lead the others to it. Since the chimps were juveniles, they woUldn 't travel alone, Menzel explained . T he most dramatic signals came at the beginning of the study when the others wou ldn ) follow. The chimp would tap the others on the arm, then n formal experiments. Menzel wan ted to learn about the nature of chimp soc ietal organization , what animals cont rolled the movement of the group. and what determined chimps' spatial relations. The researchers would hide something appealjng, like food or toys, o r so mething frightening, like a model of look back . If the others weren't following. he 'd pull them by the ear, whimper, and grab them by the leg. Eventually the chimps caught on that this hide-and-seek game was done ever) day at the same time. They'd e\1en race ahead of the leader to get to the food first. No leader would keep all the food I "Even after working with chimpanzees for fifty years, one would never run out of interesting things to discover. " ~ " There is more a bility to communica te in non-human primates than we suspected before.'' hc ·said. It was once though t that animals could communicate emotion. but couldn't com municate about their environment, he noted. The zoologist Karl Von Frisch's experiments with bees. which indicated that the insects could communicate about their environment. were viewed as an exception. "Animal comm un ication patterns are a good bit more complicated and so phisticated than we thought some time ago," Menzel said. A set of ex~iments at Yerkes dealt with monkeys trying to reach an object through a hole in the wall. They couldn't see the object directly. but could see its image, and thC: image of .. their hand grop ing for the object, on a television monitor. Sometimes the resea rchers would Oop the image from right to left or turn it upsidedown. The chimps would tend to stan where the object looked as if it should be, but would correct themselves quickly. Working with mirror images is difficult, Menzel po inted out. "They had to learn to correct their actions in mid-course," he said. "It so und s sim ple. but it's much · more comp liCated ." Rhesus monkeys could find an object when looking through clear glass. "But if they could o nly see it in a. mirror, they were at a total loss," he said. "Other tests suggest that they can't recognize themselves in a mirror." Humans, chimps, orangutans, and gori ll as are probably the only animals that can p~rfo rm these mirror irpage tasks, he sa1d. Menzel noted he feels the same way abou t primates a! Von Frisch felt about bees- even after working with them for 50 years, one would never run out of things to discover. "I guess it just depends what beast you become Imprinted on," he concluded. 0 �A chronic Soviet Finding Solzhenitsyn took 15 years t took him 15 years to fully discover his elusi~e .Prey - the. - enigmatic ~lexander · Solzhenitsyn, subject of devilish rumor and ·enduring mystery. His goal was to write a biography of the s 'oviet writet. who had .once dismissed similar. attempts to describe his life as "ill.:.mannered ~nd immoral. " I In tile end, Michael Scammell was successful. finally producing a 1,000page acclaimed biography of the writer of Cancer Ward, The First Circle, and Tire Gulag Arc/ripe/ago. The British author and translator, a visiting fellow at Washingto's Ken.!lAIJ,. Institute for Advanced Russian ~ udies. lectured here March 5 on his detective-like search for th e "real" Solzhcnitsyn. From the start, the sea rch was loaded with difficulty, detours and frus tration . Also , said Scammell ... there arc problems that arise when one is working with material that emanates from a society Hke the Soviet Union which IS closely controlled and manipu¥ lated and which is 1·erv difficult to penetrate and obtain the t-ruth about. .. In 1969, Scammell's editor suggested a Solzhenitsyn biography after noticing parallels between A1y Testimony, a book by Soviet di ss ident Anatoly Marchenko which Scammell had translated. and several of Solzhenitsyn's works. especially A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisoviclr. Marchenko's book. Scammell explained , -was the first book which revealed to the world the size and existancc and nature of a Gulag after Stalin." But, Scammell said, the initial idea was only to produce a ·•quick summary" of Solzhenitsyn's li fe an d work. ~ince a full biography was impossible at the time. In 1969. Scammell explained 4 "Solzhenitsyn was a much more mysteriou s figure than he is today. In 1962, he had burst upon the world scene with the publication of A Day in tire Life of lwm Denisovich. No one had heard of him before. He had no track record and no known past. Over the subsequent years, it became known that he had been A political prisoner, for which reasons were not quite clear. Where he had served in camps wasn't clear, how he came to be released wasn't clear, what sort of life he led. what sort of person he was even. what his marriage situation was , whether he had children. none of this was known. Nonetheless, interest in him was very great." The biography set · in motion. Scammell began to gather material. Despite his knowledge of Soviet polities and Solzhenitsyn's work, however, Solzhenitsyn himself remained impervious to biographic .scrutiny. By this time , Scammell said, Cancer Ward and The First Circle had both circulated in samizdat, defined as Soviet government-suppressed writings that have been clandestinely printed and distributed. Also, The First Circle had been published in the West. "Although here was such a mystery man, such an enigma, I decided very naively that I would be the one to track him down. \ get him to spill tbe beans and give me the scoop that I wan t ed.~ S o Scammell set off for Moscow in 1970, hot on Solzhenitsyn ·s trail, or so he thought. A meeting with Solzhenitsyn never materialized. but he did meet with the writer'$ good friend and fellow dissident, Lev Kopelev. Scammell told Kopelev about the biography and aslced him to intercede on his behalf. plahned biography On' to Solzhenitsyn. Also Kopelev did correspond with :>Scammell when the latter returned home, answering a serie$ of questions with brief, untelling responses. But the letter included a note certain to dash all hope. -Kopelev went on to ex.plain the million reasons w1ay Solzhen1tsyn could not cooperate with a biographer. certainly not with me. "Nevertheless. I decided that I "ould •· make an attempt to write it. an amus· i~ notion as I look back." Scammell's attempt to sequester hil11lielf in a cot· tage, away from wife and children. was a "fiasco.,.. The resulting 50,000 words proved to be of little value. For on thing, what interested Scammell the most "was precisel y the man and this was precisely the area in which I had the least amount of information . ~ N ow it was 1972 and Scammell threw his auentions elseespecially his new magazine Index on Ctn.sorship which examined literary censorship, among other issues. •In 1973. the British writer again traveled to Moscow. th is lime representing his maga1ine and meeting ··with juM about every know Sov1ct literary dis~ident ai the time.

I had not realized quite the danger and delicacy of Solzhenhsyn's situation at this time. It was just two years since he had released his open letter to the Soviet Writers' Union in which he had attacked the Soviet government and the Soviet authorities for the first time. It was less than a year since he 'd been expelled from the Writers' Union, And he had, in fact, gone into hiding. "Also, what I didn ~ realize at the time was that his first marriage to Natalia Reshetovskaya had virtually broken down, that he w.. engaged in acrimonious divorce proceedings and , in fact, was already .involved with his present wife, Natalia Svetlova, who was already expecting their first child. · in other words, I couldn ~ have come at a worse time .~ Still, Kopelev did pass news of tbe • By ANN WHITCHER • The airport incident, though clearly unpleasant, did bring favorable results. Solzbenit.yn, who had learned· of Scammell's air~ort detention through · Kopelev, descpbed it in his autobiographical memoir, The Oak and the Calf. Said Scammell: "Unintentionally, I had come in to his consciousness, I'd even bee n some use to him. This was to prove of some assistance very shortly." Fall and winter of 1973 were "very tense times" for the Russian writer. revealed his biographer.

The conference was sponsored by the Depanments of Modern Languages and Literatures, History, and the Faculty of Ans and Letters. ,4 "'Significant infonnatiQn is squcez.ed between insignificant announcements,., said' Anna Sypula. a native of Kiev, who tived with ncr husband in Poland during mania) law, escaping to the United States with her daughter two years ago.

''What is on the level of world importance they have to publish. but they want to undermine it," she explained . By contrast, information on the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger probably was run on the front page of Pravda. the official Soviet newspaper , and used to point out shortcomings of the US space program, its defense programs. and other US policies th at affect the Soviet Union, she speculated. By and large, information ~s !-.carce in the Soviet Union, not only mformation about the world, but informatiOn about the country. its politics. and its people. Information that we take for granted in the West does not exist in the Soviet Union, and there are no openlv contrasting opinions. '' ln. the Soviet Union, there is only one (source of) information and no po:,sibility to get o ther opinion:..." said Sypula. By contrast, when she moved to Poland with her husband. she discovered that not only were politics openly discu:,sed, they were argued. "I never remembered people in my neighborhood (in Kiev) discussing politic; as they did in Poland." she mdicated. Sypula also became aware of lapses in the teaching of history in the Soviet Union. For example, she noted, even many years after his death. Stalin's atrocities were not public knowledge in the Soviet Unio n, as they were in Poland. Even information on ·current evenb i.s not geherally known·. " " While I was in tbe Soviet Union, I fo und it very difficult to fmd information on the war in Afghanistan. " she said. No information was available on how many Soviet soldiers we re fighting in that coun t ry , or how many troops had been lost. ~ . This deanh of information includes personal knowledge that in this country IS considered a right. not a privilege. "Soviet reluclance to provide infOImatioa extends to hospitals," Sypula said. "Soviet doctors won't tell their patien ts the truth about their diseases." L ack of information on the opportunities availa.ble to women in other parts of the world also keeps Soviet women at a disadvantage. "The sOviet government does nothing for Soviet women," she said. "Only when l got to Poland did I realize how far behind Soviet women are, even compared to their Polish counterparts." These inequalities begin in the home and extend to the labor market. In the Soviet }Jnion, she noted , women perform "'dirty manual labor," such as laying roadways. Appliances Anna Sypula: news Is censored. that a Western woman could not live without are not even available. For example, Sypula said, while in the Soviet Union. she did laundry in a wringer washer; however~ after moving to Poland. she found that women in that count ry had been using automalic washing machines for a decaOc. Even appliances such as automatic dishwashers were available. Basic consumer goods also are not available to Soviet women. '"Non-existent are sanitary napkins. maternity clothes, baby formula, and diapers," she said. "In the Soviet Umon, the only alternative to having a child is having an abortion . . . .

"U'nbeknown st to me or anyone else, the manuscript had been in the US for five years and had been worked on. But it turned out that the translation was still in draft form ~ still very much unready. It needed revisio n. And I was asked to come to New York and undertake that revision. 1 was in New York working on that book when Solzheni!syn was expelled in January, 1974. · . "Interestingly enoughr I spoke with him the .day after his expulsion. He said Something whirh he repeated later in a press confer .:nee and which is worth recalling. Solzhenitsyn was convinced that had the American edition of The Gulag Archipelago· appeared before he was expelled, his exp ulsion wou ld not have taken place.·: 'At the time, Scammell · explained, t~ere .was a great deal of disillusionment with detente in the West. "The statements of Solzhenitsyn and Sak- . .harov were appearing in the ~ tern press on an almost daily basis. The activitits of the Savitt aUlhorities in trying to crush the other dissidents were receiving great publicity. And Solzheni!syn fell that if this book could have appeared in the West, particularly in America, th'a t world public opinion would have prevented hiS expulsio ~ personally doubt that this was the case. But there 's no question that he ferve ntly believes it." fter his expulsion. Solzhenitsyn A and his family went to Zurich. The 6iography remained 'only a slim possibility. There were formidable obstacles, cxpecial\y Soh.henitsyn's previous repudiation of a biography by David Burg and George Feifer, p'ublished in 1972. Announced the Soviet writer: "I understand that certai n biographies of me are due to appear shortl y in the West. including some that will cont ai n information of a mainly non-litera ry cha racter. This information is being co Uected by the authors without my knowledge o r my agreement, often in dark and roundabout ways by inter~ view ing people who knew me at one time o r another, ·but who are often not info rmed at all. Material collected in this manner is supplemented with imaginary facts and motivations which have to. be invented since the true circumstances and motives of my work cannot be known to anyone. " And then , said Scammell, came the "clincher." Said Solzhenitsyn: "The collection of inform8tio n in this wiy i~ no differ nt from police spying. I regard the publication of such biographies during an author's lifetime as illmannered and immoral."' But the project still had ijfe. That yea r, Solzhenitsyn's Swiss attorn~y. Dr. Fritz Heeb, invited Scammell to Zurich for "several discussions," including a review of the memoirs that had been published by Solzhenitsyn's ex-wife. These, Scammell says in his book , had bee n " heavily cut and tendentiously edited. •· In Zurich, Scammell wrote a "detailed analysis" of the typescript of these memoirs, finding that " they had been obviously tampered with, presumably by the K.GB. " The Russian author pronounced himself impressed with Scammell's command of the facts of his life and career. "He showed me and allawed me to make notes on a copy of his ex-wife's typescript on which he himself had made notes. At the time, thf: idea was that l would write a review of the memoirs in so mething like the Times Uterary Supplement or the New York Review of Books, in which l would point out these discrepancies and distortions." There were problems with thi s approach, though. "One was that to wnte about the book at length would also serve to draw attention to it. There was a question whether it was worth dignifying with that amount of attention." Surely, Scammell told the Nobel Prize·winning Writer, .. it would be much better t o confront the memoirs not with a refutation but with an alternative, much more authoritative version of his life, produced by none other than myself with his coope ration." The somewhat fickle Solzhenitsyn finally gave the okay, but only under ce rt'!-in conditions. "When I inquired what these .conditions were, they were that I, or any biographer, should not distort his positions, should not misrep. resent hjs actio~ or his views, etc. I said this was acce ptable but that any writer of a book had to have the last word. In ot her words , he or she could not hand over final judgment to an6ther person. even the su bject of the book." I here was another impediment to Seamniell's quest. After the Moscow ai rport incident, Scammell ·Was unable to obtain a visa to return to the USSR, thus precluding first-hand , onthecspot interviews with Solzhenitsyn 's friends -and assoCiates. He also had to sort through the mass of biographical 1 data that became available while writing the boo k. · T Fifteen years in the making. the biography was published in 1984. It has since been hailed as an objective treatment of Solzhenitsyn's life. John Gross of the New York Tin,tes found it "enthralling," Wrote V.S. Pritchett in The New Yorker: " His excellent book is objective a~ scholarly." The verdict from the Solzhenitsyn camp, however, is apparently' thumbs down. When the book came out, Scammell sent the writer. a copy. No S caritmell left Zurich with matters unresolved. Correspondence foUowed but Solzhenitsyn would still "hesitate and prevaricate. One day he would be hot, the other day cold. I had AO sense ·that he would cooperate in such a venture." ...... Then came an unexpected break: through in the British Museum. While studying British military maps of the area of the' North Caucasus Mountains where Solzhenitsyn 's• paternal ancestors . had lived , 'Scammell found the markings for his grandfather's fa! m which Solzhenitsyn had visited only once. Here. Solzhenitsyn's father had grown up. This was the father who had died in a hunting accident six months before Solzhenitsyn's birth. Not allowed to photocopy the map. Scammell made a tracing ·and sent it off to Solzhenitsyn. There was no immediate reply save for a "friendly note" from the author's . wife. But m June 1977, Scammell was invited to Cavendish, Vermont, where the Solzhenitsyns had. re~ntly moved . The purpose: to interview the famou s writer for purposes of the long-planned biography. There followed a week of extensive interviewing, outdoOrs in the warm summer evenings and often accompan· ied by a glass of beer. Scammell asked Mrs. Solzhenitsyn what could possibly have caused her huSband to change his mind. "She said it was the discovery of his grandfather's farm on the map." Touched by tbe discovery, he reportedly told his wife, "This man is serious. let him come." After Vermont, Solzhenitsyn continu ed to answer Sca mmell's questions by letter. Eventually, however, )le indicated that reviewing his past interfered wi.th his present work. Scammell and Solz.l!enitsyn stopped corresponding in 1979. , Scammell then discussed even more complex obstacles. to his sleuthing. There were the official distortions, for one thing. Writes Scammell in his book: " ln printing the bare facts of his biography, the (Soviet) newspapers emphasized h is distinguished war record and played down the facts of his imprisonment and exile. pointing out that he had suffered from 'groundless political accusations' from which he had since been excu lpated. A year later he was nominated for the Soviet Union's mo st pres tigiou s literar y award , the Lenin Prize, and only nar· rowly missed winning it. When the attitude of the authorities began to change, so did 'history.' Solzhenit syn became •a mediocre writer with an exaggerated view of his own importance,' who had 'abandoned his conscience' and was socially dangerous." Publications in the USSR and elsewhere often took "kernels of truth" and embellished them, so that truth became difficult, if not impossible, to discern , said the visiting lecturer. To make matters worse, Solzhenitsyn himself had indulged in " biographical manipulation," a fact which he admitted to ScammeU during the Zurich meeting. "He would release only a few facts in a certain order. And in tbe interviews he gave to Western correspondents foUowinj! his expulsion, he again released certam facts but suppressed others.

Engineering opens a new facility a ' T I By DAVID C. WEBB he Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences has opened a f~'Fe~~~ ~~F.h.ics laboratory Th~ Computer Aided · Design and Computer Aided Engineering (CAD_CAE) Laboratory has two Prime computers that. can be a.ccessed by 19 termmals dcs1gned for gcaphics applica, tto.ns. The compu~ers also can be accessed _by personal computer through the University"s network . . Estimiued cost of tbe equipment in· the CAD-CAE lab is $600,000, and the laboratory is available to aca~mic as well as industrial researchers investigating computer applications in eAgi- tiecring. -. . ' The computers usc several engineermg software programs, inclUding the l'nme MEDUSA two- and threedimensional drafting and solid . modeling program and Prime Computer's SAMMIE human modeling program. Other software is jlVailable. mcluding the DADS dynamic analysis program, the A SYS finite element analysis ' pac kage. the IMSL mathematics hbrarx. and the Tektronix IGL graphic!<~ Ulllity. . ' B researchers have an ''attractive grant package .. from Prime Computer. Inc., to study its SAMMIE software. according to Charles T . Brunskill. coordinator of engineering computer services. In addition, other granting agencies arc supporting research on other graphics software. he principal computer is Prime's 9750. which has an 8 megabyte memory capacity! and has the potential to be accessed 'by I 00 ports. For now, 32 portS arc being used. Coupled to th iS computer is Prime' 550, which has 4 megabytes of random-access memory. It ~ major function is to provide computer power for special complex programs. so it has minlffial access for users. "The two computers act almost as one entity." Brunskill remarked . The hard <tisk system for the laboratory has a total capacity of 1.2 gigabytes in four units 1300 megabytes each) . The large memory capacity in the disk system and computers is necessary 10 support the relatively complicated programs uoed for graph· ics applications. Connected to the computers are four Tektronix 4109 graphics terminals with digitized pads, wh1ch provide quality ~raphics entry and display. Other graphICS terminals in the laboratory include 'five Prime PT200 business color graphics terminals and ten DEC VT241 graphics terminals. According to Brunskill, the labora. tt?ry is run by. graduate assistants under :;. h1s direction and used by students to complete course \;\'Ork ... Graduate and 'Undergraduate students gain exposure to the facility through the many departmentally offered CAD and computer graphics courses." he indicated . Graduate students in the Manufacturing Systems Engineering program can integrate t e "' D soft ware with software designed for rticular manufacturers. Brunskill said. The computer design facility has applications ir all engineering areas. For instance, electrical engineering student!\ can design electrical circuits. Mechanical engineering students can integMte mechanical systems with the DADS software. Industrial engineering T . he National Science F.i1undation T and Harrison Radiator in Buffalo have also awarded research grants to Neel ·· students can dtsign consumer products or work environments with the SAMMIE software. Local indust ry may also take advantage of this resource. Brunskill said short courses in computer aided design for the working engineer are being planned. ''Companies planning to enter or expand their own CAD-CAE activities are inviied to visit the facihy and to discu s possible cooperative endeavors." he said. The industrial liaison for the laboratory is Charles G. DeWald, Ph.D., adjunct professor of electrical and computer engineering. Coordinating academic instruction and research is Andres Soom. Ph.D .. associate professor of mechanical• and ae rospace engineeriog. ;'This laboratory is competitive with any CAD lab in a major university," Brunskill said. rime's SAMM IE software can be used for designing many different human environments, including ki tchens, automobiles, airplane cockpits, or work places. A model of a human being is drawn in the environment which is to be designed. Programs can be designed to calculate whether the model can reach all the knobs on a control console, for instance. An added feature of the software is tlja! the drawing can be projected as if the operator is looking through the eyes of the human model. The designer can also place a mirror in the model's field of view and see the mirror view from the model's viewpOint. Adjustable parts of the equipment can be made to move, so the desi$ner can check all possible pOSlltOnS. Under a grant from Prime Compu: ter, Samuel G. Schiro, Ph.D., assistant. professor of industrial engineering, and Brunskill are studying ways to add new features to the SAMMIE program. The program can size its human model to represent different statures and body sizes in addition to representing the average human shape.' The program develops the model from data bases of information on arm length, leg length, Prof. Samuel G. Schiro demonstrates new equipment lor Charles Crawford from Cable News Network. overall height, and so on. Schiro is investigatiog the possibi lity of adding different data bases to the model which would be appropriate for different populations that a designer might wish to accommodate. .. Many companies must demonstrate that their products will be usable by mixed male and female operators," Sch~ro said . " By adding this feature to SAMMIE, data on different human dime~sions can be incorporated into the des1gn process much more quickly." Schiro is also studying the addition K. Mani, Ph. D., assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. to investigate applications of fhe DADS (!?fsign and Ana,lysis of Dyna mic Systems) software marketed by CADSI in Oakdale, Iowa. This program assists the designer in building computer models of mechanical systems, which can be made to move. Mani is investigating new methods of doing the simulations... I am look.ing at ways to make the program more practical for normal use,"' he said. One aspect of his researCh_is to per· form ·•design sensitive analysis ... For instance, if an automobile has a suspension that is too rough, the designer will be able to locate factors that . would make the ride smoother. The DADS software can be applied ~o ma!ly differ~nt mechanical systems. 1ncludmg machme tools, manufacturing systems, and ho~ appliances. Under an NSF grant. the engineerin g· school has ordered an Evans and Southerland PS340 terminal, which will improve the animation capabilities of the lab. The terminal has a 3-megabyte memory of its own for· making objects move and rotate in real time without clea_r~ng the screen and redrawing each pOSitiOn. 0 Engineers honor Dr. Soong research for his projects is done on UB's earthquake simulator in the Earthquake Engineering and Systems Technology Center.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

P11Qe 11 / s~te University of New York lAB punts athletics decision to Trustees U B' athletic future lies squarely in the hands of the SUNY Trustees, following last week's recommendation for upgraded intercollegiate competitiOn made by the presidentially-appointed Intercollegiate Athletic Board (IAB) The Board beli_eves membership in Division l (with the football team classified lAA) is an appropriate long-term goal for the program ~a goal thaf could be realized within five years- IF: I) The SUNY Trustees make it possible for U B to offer athletic grants-inaid· and · i) A significantly increased level of funding is forthGoming from the State, the alumni, students, and the community. Without both of these, the report counsels, Division I status will be impossible, despite the "benefits" it would bring to the University. Among these pluses, the report writers listed, would be enhanced student life, strengthened alumni-university relations, and further improvement of relationships with the community. While the Trustees can open the door, so to speak, large scale institutional and pri\l.ate support will be necessary to keep it open. · • See lAB, page 2 �Men:htl,1818 Volume 17, No. 22 lAB From page I At a press conference last Friday, ., President Steven B. Sample endorsed the report's findings , calling UB's Div· ision III program an .. anomaly" among 1 -!JIC\ior public institutions. But, si nce Division I co mpetition requires grants-in-aid, Sample said , this raises the question with the SUNY Trustees. The Trustees outlawed such gra nts o n the part of the Univers~ty in 1973 and , in· 1975, an administrative decision on the part of SUNY Central Ad ministration extended the prohibition to incl ude suc h Universityaffiliated · agencieS" as campus-related.. fo undat io ns, FSAs, etc. · In Sep tember 1984, the Trustees fail«! to adopt a-pf!l'posal to removt t.he ban on a sys teffi-wide basis. Butl said Sample. several Trustees told him that that action was not meant to in hibit plans that airy cam pus might \\ish ~o make for ,upgrading ath letic programs, e\'en if such plans call for offering g rants-in-aid. Sample said he 'had forwarded the report of the lAB (which was chaired by Prof. James C. Hansen of Co unselmg and Educational Psychology and involved three other faculty, four studerits. three administrators and an a lumnu;) to SU Y C han cellor C lifton R. Wharton. Jr .. asking Wharton to wod. "··itlubc Trustees to make it pos:.lble for l111s campus to offer grants-inaid. "The ball is no" in SUNY's court,·· Sample said. " In transmitting this proposal to Chancellor Wh:uton. we arc reques ting that the present administrative imc rpretatton of the SUNY policy on athletic grants be changed . or that the policy ilself be changed. to permit u~ to proceed with the recommendation to upgrade to Division I status." Sample elaborated . The Prc;ident said Wharton had been "rccepti\e .. in conversations about the repo rt . but would obviously wa nt to talk with his staff or members of the Trustee.:, before offici!Hy reacting. Two local Trustees seemed somewh:it optimistic about the proposal'!t chances. Dr. George L. Collins said he hadn'l seen the report yet on Monday, "but I know that the Trustees will seriously consider the proposal." Arnold Gardner of Buffalo noted that .. , voted in favor of Division I sports at UB last year. ThiS time. if a svstem can be devised so that no State nioney has to be spent. I will also be in favor. The program,should be funded by the community. the alumni. and it should ';trictly follow CAA rules. President Sample already assured us that the program will be in absolu te compliance with the NCAA. It is a big job, but it is worth it. and it will be good for the campus ... lAB chair Hanse n noted that h1s panel i!t prepa red - following a decision on grants-in-aid and a commilment from University officials to find the necessar} financial resources - to lay out a· five-year staging plan to move through Division II to D ivision I athletic sta tus. Hansen reiterate-d his earlier statement rhat an upgtading o nly 'to Division II, in the Board's opi nion. ·•would not accomplish any significant change in quality of campus life. aJumni relations. or community support." Hansen said that the committee had found that other univer~ities stud ied by his panel provided four to 10 times more financial s upport for intercollegiate athletics than t~$68 1.000 from all sources now spent annually by UB. Co mparable institutions also have significant ly more full-time coaChes and support personnel, Hansen indicated. This leads to two important questions beyond grants-in-aid. he noted: I) Can the institution provide the number of positions required to support the development of a Division I program? and 2) Cali long-te rm support be obtai ned from key co nstituents, t.e., faculty, st udenLS. a lumn i, and th e Western New York community? In 1971 , even before SU Y ou tlawed grants-in-aid, the University W<l!) forced to drop its then Divisio n I football program because of a deficit of approximately $400,000 which four yea rs of administrative and alumni efforts had failed to make a dent in. Bob Heary, presidenl_ of the undergraduate Student Association. a member of the lAB, agreed that University students would benefit from an upgraded sports program. "'S pirit and pride will increase dramatically." he noted . In response to media questions, Hansen said the intention is to raise fund ; for athletic schplars hi ps through the Univers ity at Buffalo Foundation. Inc ., and that the upgrad ed programs would apply equally to men and women. The money would be disbursed through the Intercollegiate AJhletics Board and the Provost. The board and Going to Division I could mean a substantial improvement in student life. agrees Provost William R. Greiner. He emphasized that resources will not be taken from intra.rilurals and given to intercollegiate athletics ; Insiead. both programs should be ·upgraded . In no way will academics suffer. he ]greed with Sample and the board. "As chief academic officer, I'm not · going to divert resources from the 1lcademic programs,"' Greiner stated.

B.J. KOEKKOEK Professot of German Gardner applauds Sample's stand on freedom EDITOR: I read with great interest the February 20 issue of the Reporter on the subject of Academic Freedom. In reaffirming principles expressed years ago by Chancellor Capen, President Sample has distinguished both himself and the State University. A university which fails to .. tolerate among its members any views on any subject and ,thC free expression of them" disavows the very reason for its existence. Occasional threats to academic freedom have a perverse vai'ue in Lhat they remind us of first principles. It is not surprising, but no netheless ru.ssuring to see that the State University is still true to that faith . officers. not police officers. Although SUNY Peace Officers possess some po\liers of police officers. such as the powCr to serve search and a~st warrants. for the most part. they are hampered. as peace officeo;, in _performing their duties. Where police officers, regardless of whether inside Lheir geographical area of jurisdiction Or not. retain their authority, Siate University Peace Officers. beCause of their status as peace officers. and restriCtions conlained in the Education Law, automatically lose .their'· peace officer status an<t firfd themstlves acting as citizens in most cases while perfo·rming" routine au'-it! off tlte campus. Although the range of duties performed · by officers and investigators off campus ._ : varies from campus to campU$. Lhey range from "routine medical transports and follow· up investigations to crime scene sea rches and arrests. Naturall)', , the larger urban campuses. such as US. because of their more severe crime problems. would need to act off campus m o ~e often. Rural campuses ~~ face th.eir .own unique problems because of • the lim ~ted number Of police working in those • eas. · For the officers on the street. they find themsehes. when orr campus. based on a recent SUNY legal opinion. acting. many times not only as citi7ens. but also iHegally. While lliligently making attempts to provide services. protect the campus community and its property. and apprehend criminals. they are. as SUNY Central should be. worried about lawsuits and indemnification and workers compensation protection. They know they lack the authority and ceni!in protections. such as -probable cause," necessary for them to properly perform the job expected of them by the public and their superiors. The average person may have a e ifficult time undtn-tanding the need to Perform many of these duties or the need to retain their police powers. Much of this is fostered by a Jack of knowledge about the Jaw or their misconception of the complexities of a functioning campus police depanment . Contrary to many people's beliefs. the change in law would not expand the duties or Public Safety Officers nor would it create an added burden. Officers would not interfere with duties of off campus police, but would gain the potential for gleater cooperation. The ultimate end ~ould be greater protection for the officer performing his job. and, by allowing him more flexibility in tracking down and apprehending criminals. a safer campus. The Bpard of Trustees h3s a decision to make: give SUNY Peace Officers the authorit y ·they need , or not act and cripple the law enforcement effon needed to make our campuses a safer place to live and work . 0 - DONALD S.

Take heart. A they say in physics. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That reaction was apparent at a recent S tud ent Association Assembly meeting. when the UB Greens vo iced op position to a proposal that calls upon the Univefsi ty to publish incourse handbooks informatiol'l that UB student s can cross-register for R0TC cou rses held at Canlsius College. and would provide office space here for dissemi natio n of ROTC information.

The occupants are "not going to have an easy life once this starts." according to Donald Larson. associate vice president in the Office of Clinical Affairs. The sequence of moves ~ill begin later thi s spring when th e CaryFarber-Sherman addition is acce pted by the University and a few departments begin to move in. The moves will end. if everything goes according to plan, so mewhere in the neighborhood of 1994-1995. ··once we get the Cary-Far berSherman ~ddition ope ned up and the Dental s;chool into Squire Hall. there will be a sequence of moving out and turning over older portions of the complex to the construction company. so they can gut and ren ovate them." ,Lar.on said. '"Then we will refill those portions. make sure the next space IS empty, and start to move a~ain." Larson pointed out that &rcat care is being taken to ensu re that offices make the fewest moves possible, and that all moves are as convenient as possible. but he said that some groups may have to move twice. Because of expensive and cumbersome equipment. Physiology and (to a lesstr extent) Biophysics will have to relocate twice during the process. A circular submergenc.e pool. similar to a sw~mming pool used for underwater experiments. and a human centrifuge shifts will continue until 1994 which are housed in herman Hall cannot be moved . Therefore. Physiology must leave during the renovation s and rewrn when the work is completed. ""lt"s not like takin&. baggage from one dorm room to arlbther.'' Larson said. " It is not like the people at Ridge .' "It's not like moving baggage from one dorm room to another, it's not like moving out of Ridge Lea. " Lea who arc moving into a new building" and can do so in one move. arson. who has been working with AI Ryszka, assistant for campu~ purchasing. and Albert Dahlberg. director of facilities management. outlined the projected series of moves. noting that the details "arc ::!11 a matter of L civil rights for people throughout the world. ··we have re'!l radical ideas like war is a bad thing and people shouldn't be hungry," Fisher said facetiously. , " I think in 200 years they will look back Qn (our society) and say, 'wow. barbarism. People dying from lack of he at? Peo ple d yi ng from lack of fol>d?' "Grajeda said . " lt"s like the joke, "Mr. Gandhi, what· do vo u th in~ of Western civilization?' ·oh: I think it"s a good idea,' " Cox' quipped. · Tbe Gree ns· firm· belief in civil right> leads them to oppose ma ny US governme nt policies . Activities are • l being held to emphasize their support for people of oth~r nations who·"the> feel arc being' tre~ted ~ nfairly. The Greens were among the sponsors of the fecent Rally for Democracy in the Philippines here. and Monday"s Pledge of Resistance. held at the Federal Building and aimed at protesting any escalation of the war in Central America. U pcomiqg programs iti~lude a slide · show to discuss the situation in Nicaragua. a rally conce rn.ing icaragua to .be held in C.ape.n Hall, and an anticensorship film festival. An informa-. tionaJ m~ing also. is being pfanned: detail will be availab le in tbe calendar section of the R~porler. "" All our programs are •!med at ge ll ing information out there,.. Fisher sa id . Their programs also strive to emphasin the ways that issues are connected . ··we "ant to get tho>e kinds of ideas into the medta so people can think about ho" they can change their world " by changing their lives," Cox said. The Green~ arc acuve supporters of the Naiive American co nsciOusness. Grajeda empha ized. a feeling of being ··one with the land. A part of na~re instead of being apart from nature. Working with the land instead of concentrating on dominating the land ... For more information on the Green~. call Fisher at 838-3536 or GraJeda at 838-2860. 0 if~· and maybes." • When the Cary-Farber-Sherman addition is completed. sometime this spring. many . teaching programs will begin to mo\'e in o"~Aer the s ummer. Programs in Anatomy. Microbiology, Pathology. Pharmacology. and others will move into the new addition. At the same time. the School.of Dental Medicine will begin to move into the reno\•ated Squire Hall . Except for the office of the dean and vice prc~idcnt for clinical affatrs. ttfls move wtll be made en ma)se. The Dean Vl'"s Office wtll be moved temporarily into another building." ''Moves can't stan until the equi pment i~ in place." Larson said ... Some cages and equipment for the animal unit have to be designed and there arc varying delivery dates." Unti l student lockers and all the equipment are in plocC. there is no reaSon to. lllQVC. he said. ''Any delay in the process. a delay m letting a cont ract, would add to the .. ttme it takes · to move everybody.'' he noted . • After the groups havi: moved into · the addition. a major portion of the origtnal Farber Hall will be emptied and renovated. This is scheduled to take unttl 1989. When that is finished. "people in Anatom y will move back in. a certain amount of Biochemistry" and other groups and equipment will also be moved. Larso n said. • .The rest of Farber •will hen be gutted and renovated . as will pans of Caryfnand Sherman. This brings the proc s up to 1992. "So c people will make one mO\·e. some two. There is an extremely rare possibility that somebody will have to move three times ... Larson said. • Final "ork on the bulk of Cal) Hall. which will be done in two sections. is scheduled for comp1etion around 1994-1995. ""When everybody moves tnto Cal) , (the process) wiU be totally finished."" and everyone will be in their final building, he said . If all goes according to plan . researchers can expect their projects to be interrupted for -no more than a week or two... Larson pointed out. however. that ~ delay in any part of the process will push back the completion date. '" People will be reclusttred and the spatial limit on research will be cleared. We can expect more productive and efficient research,- Larson said. P lans are also being developed to provtde for more efficient removal and transport of office equipment. La.rson said that carts may be made available to allow researchers to break down and transport their machine~ in the manner they think will be eastest. Equipment that is under a service contract will have to be moved by the companies involved, however. The constructiori and renovation will benefit the occupants greatly once all the moves are complete and people can ge t back to a (egular work schedu le. Larson said. Uttli ty shUt-offs and power surges from .the construction being done _o_n the addition have hampered the actiVIties of some occupants of Cary-,FarberSherman for months. Larson sa1d. Increased lab spa~e. a new faculty and staff lounge. and warmer offices are just some of the beni:lits of the renovation , he said. 0 (? �M•n:h 6, 1986 Volume 17, No. 22 THURSDAY•& LECTURE• • S hirlt)' WOO'i, Henan University, Kaifong, China, "China's Developing" Democracy," 213 Old Main March 21.

"To Your Benefit" 15 a biweekly column pre'{:~~d by the Beneftts AdmmisUattOn sectiOn ol '\ersonnel Department. �March 6, 1986 Volume 17, No. 22 - ~ CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO S FTEs everal models for apportioning FfEs in the undergraduate col· lege were discussed • this week ' by the Faculty Senate's Edu- cational Programs and Policy Committee and Jarries Bunn, vice provost for undergraduate education. For undergraduate courses, FTEs (full-time equivalent student workload) are calculated by dividing the nu?nber of student credit-hours by 15. It's widely perceived that FfEs are critical in deciding how resources shoulc( be allocated. noted Thomas Headrick , chairman of the Educational Programs and Policy Committee and a professor of law. Therefore. a department would be reluctant to have one of its facult y members teach in the undergraduate college if that res ulted in the department losing FfEs. In o ne model for the college, the department Would simply get the credit as it dGes now. In a second model. the numbe r of FfE> wou ld be calculated for the col- · lege. as a unit. Headrick .explained: That figure "would be divided by the number of .. senior members .. or faculty in the college. resulting in an average FfE. r\o matter what the ~i1e of his or her course. each faculty member would rccei"c the same average FrE cred it The FfE; >till "ould be orcdited to th e _department. An advantage of thi!<~ ~ystem is that it v.ould gi\'c the college more flexibility, Headrick explained. Instructors wouldn't have to worry as mJ,Jch about teaching smaller classes because they would get the same amount of FTE credit no mauer how smaJI the class. Hov.cvcr. if this average turns o ut to be much !:>mallcr than the number of FrE~ the instructor would have generated in Iu s or her department. the department could be unhappy . third model would treat the college A a department and allot the FTE!:> v.hcre the course!> arc taught. Formula needed for apportioning tbem between departments & new college I three-q uarters, to the dtpartment. That would preserve the department, unless the- department loses a big I"TE generator ....__ someone who teaches a large course, Headrick noted. A fourth model. proposed by Charles H.V. Ebert, pmfessor of geography,. would sp lit the FfEs for each course. There arc two Kinds of cour~es to be taught in the college: existing i•se~ict: " cOurses and new· ..common e)lperience" courses to be developed especially for the college. For e>:.i~ttng service courses, ·the department would get the larger percentage of the FfEs generated by that course. say 75 per cent, while the college would get the remaining 25 per cent. · For new "common experie-;,ce .. · courses. the situation would be reversed. Tlie college would get the la rger percentage of the'O FfEs. and the department wou ld get the remainirig · amount. The advantage of this system, Ebert pointed out, would be a better distribution of the FTEs without having to choose between the department and the ~ ge. Hcadnck noted that part of the problem with FTEs is the pcrcci\cd use of the,m. If these and related figures are only some of the factors used in reso urce decisions. then what the othe r factor~ are and how decisions are made should be explained more clearly so there isn't a misconception of the importance of Fl'Es. he suggested.

Although Spera'> playing career ha,) ended. his coaching career may have just begun because. while no" a dcnt~l student at UB. he is also the men's junior varsity basketbnll coach. Spera had wanted to come to UB C\1Cn before attending Syracuse. but found himself unable to turn down a chance to play basketball at one of the nation's premier basketball schools. "I had been interested in UB before, but I really wanted to play," said Spera. And who could blame him? It's not every 18-year-old who gets to play in front of 30,000 fans and agains( the best competition in the nation ... 1 liked it a lot," noted Spera, "and I tried to enjoy it as much as I could because I knew it would be over a lot sooner than I thought. " Syracuse is a basketball-crazed cit~·. and it is difficult for most players to adjust to ih winning-is--everything attitude and to being looked at as heroes by many people. But thi~ wasn't so for Spera. "The adjustment from high :,chool wasn't too bad for me. Some guys have a lot harder time than other:,. Some just can't do it," he said. And what about being looked on a> hcroc~? "You orr put on a pedestal." Spera admitted. But, there is also a down side to being a Division I basketball player at Syracuse. "It works both ways ," noted Spera. '"there's rescnunent and jealousy by some )tudents and faculty. ot every· body likes you ." -As first year coach of the UB j.v. team , Spera did not have to worry about any jealousy as the team was able to muster only two victories. Nevertheless. he enjoyed the experience. "Coaching and playing are opposites. and I can feel for the players and what they're going through because I was there." he says. ·•11 was hard the first game, going from seeing Division I players to j.v. ones. I even wanted to lace-up the )neakers and go out and bury the other team myself. But. by the second game, I was over that feeling and I just wanted to coach a~d·help the players improve." oo king at the overall athletic prog ram at UB, Spera sees both similarities and differences with Syracuse. "There are study tables, tutoring, and other things for players at both schools," he said. "But the support at OB just isn't there. We have excellent coaching, and the talent gap bet ween Division I and Ill is a lot closer than people think. A lot of Division Ill playe" could play Division I... he added. " People need to think bigger here and to support th e team. People want to sec a winner, but to get a winner you have to build a foundation and that '> wha)'s happening no"," he concluded. Spera also added he think > UB is headed in the right direction with regard to upgrading the athletic program. but that the students and L "At Syracuse, it's what you wear and what you drive that's important.'.' communit) have to show their support for the decision, too. In comparing the two universities, Spera drew sharp comparisons. "At SU. aesthetic:, are a lot more impor- tant . It's what you wear and drive that's imponant whereas here that · doesn \ matter as much." He also added that Syracuse is much more social than U B and thar athletics have much to do with that. "Students here need a common binding. At Syracuse that binding was basketball. Everyone went to the games; it was the thing to do. Here that just ~n\ happen." Despite UB'> shortcomings: pera said he prefe" it to Syracuse, not just because of the academics, but because of the people and the university itself. "The people here are a lot more open." he concluded. As for coaching next year. Spera had a short. enthusiastic answer , "111 be back ....

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Physio logost leon Farbi thinks "'e have no right to ri>k lives in space if the subjects don 'I k!JoW what they're ~niversi~ of New York he SU Y Trustees at their recent meeting asked for more . information on a proposal that would give the powers of peace officers .to Pub.Lic Safety officers when they pursue tfi!f duties off campus. The officers may now act as peace officers .only while on campus or on roads bordering the campus. said J . Norman Hostetter, associate SUNY vice chancellor for educational services (whose duties include security). He emphasized that it would be up to each president to decide whether to T extend the geographiccl jurisdiction of the omctrs at that campus. The idea is aimed primarily at campuses in rural areas and small towns, . Hostetter explained. But Lee Griffin. director of Public Safety at UB, said he would like to see such a policy adopted here. Hostetter said the idea was brought to his attcnlion by several camP.US presidents and public safety officers. The rural campuses favor the idea beCause their local · police forces may not have the manpower or expertise to conduct investigations off campus of crimes that were committed on campus, he explained . The pohcy would also allow campus forces to help with things like crowd control at what are primarily campus events in town, Hostel1et said. Griffin favors the policy because UB officers routinel y have to conduct investigations orr campus, but have no authority. he said. In addition, UB officers often face situations where the public expects them to act. but again. the officers have no authority. Other law enforcement officers are empowered to act outside their jurisdictions when necessary. but no officer docs it routinely, Griffin said. Griffin, a State Trooper for 10 years. noted that he never exercised his authority in cities or towns that had their own forces. "But it was good to ltnow I could," he added. "There would be no abuses." s much a• 50 per cent of UB's crime is commined by persons from off campus. Griffin said. >:The campus does not operate in a vacu um," he noted. Public Safety routinely must work in the community.. "I think we should have authoruy commensurate with that responsibility, .. he said. Griffin gave the example of an offi'cer investigating the theft of a television from the University. The officer tracks down the suspect and goes to his house in Amherst. When the suspect answers the door, the officer sees the stolen TV in the living room. But he . can'l arrest the suspect.

The "local police officer might a>k th e UB patrol to stay 41nd direct traffic while he takes care of the injured. "We don~ really have the authority to direct traffic. but. we do because it"s the right thing to do." Griffin said. U B can ask the local potice for help. "but we can~ help them," he added.

The Trustees asked for more information on the subject, primarily on what the guidelines from the Chancellors Office would look like. Ho"eller said. The guidelines would have to fit all the campuses. not just the rural campuses. . This propos'~!, has nothing to do with the arming issue, he emphasized.

Chances are, according to Public Safety officials, that you11 leave all your stuff there. Unfortunately, chances also are that your wallet, or your notes, or books, or coat won't still be there when you get back. "You can' be lulled into a false sense of security, •• says Public Safety Investigator Dan Jay. "Don~ leave things unattended . " A recent rash ol thefts has led Public Safety officials to urge students to keep a close eye on their belon~ngs while using any of the University hbraries. On a recent trip through Lockwood Library, Investigator Frank Panek said, one Public Safety officer observed 48 una11cnded study si\eS and 22 people watching the insides of their eyelids instead of their belongings. "It's a pain to have to pick everything ufl""''t:fore you go look for a · book. or go through the card ftle, or whatever," Panek said. "But I don' · know how else to do it.'" Since the beginning of the semester. Public Safety has received 17 reJ>Or!S of thefts from the Univcrsi~y Ltbraries. Books, wallets. and bac.kpaclcs that have been left unattended also have been reported missing from classrooms and offices on both campuses. Missing books aren' likely to renect a fetish of some knowledge-hungry thief. Most wind up on the used book racks of local and University bookstores. "If books are stolen, we automatically notify the bookstore. " Panek said. "We have received good cooperation from the University bookstores and from Laco." "Where we have caught people, we have been able to prosecute," added Jay. He suggested that students make all their books identifiable by writing their name or Social Security number on a specific page inside each book to help identify it if. it is stolen and an anempt is made to resell it. "Something so they can say absolutely, 'that is my book."" P.anek said . "We"ve been catching quite a few (sus· pects) since we began the program in spring, 1985."" Investigator Kurt Herrmann initiated the program and acts as liaison with the bookstores. Panek also urged students to purchase a good l>icycle lock before warm .w eather breaks, and to have an identi· fication number engraved on the bike. "You are responsible for your own well-being because if you give someone an opportunity, they are going to take advantage of it," he said . 0 Booknapper nabbed on bus P ubtic: S•l<ty ha' charged a 34-year·old BufY•Io mao wnh cntDinal pouasion of "0.kD prapert.y in connection with I be theft of a wallel from the UndcrJrilduate libraJY Monday eYCnta&.

But the two men committed human right~ abuses under Marcos. and she wonders whether Aquino can control them or whether they will in fact be running the show. Popular concern over human rights abusC> may also help keep a lid on the !1-ituation. Leary said. In 1984. Leary was part of a mission from the International Commission of Jurists that issued a report on human right~ viola tions in the Philippines. Leary had expected Marcos to comment on the report. .. As far as I know. he neve r did give 8 specific response to this report.'" she said . .. He was beginning to get critici7ed extensively by human rights organizations." There were a number of reports in the last two years, all saying th.e same things. she noted. which had an effect on the actions of the US government and others. "The way tbc US acted this past week may cause further .su~from Filipinos) for ihe ;he said. "But many still identify the US with the s:· M areas regime. "It's never easy to undo history. The US is going to have to live with the fact that it suppo rted Marco< for 20 years." · S orne offenses by Marcos that were targeted in Leary's report may be changed by Aquino. she predicted. For instance, Marcos had given sugar and pineapple monopolies to his friends. Leary said she expects Aquino will do away with this "crony capitalism.·· Aquino may be able to emphasi1c more social development rather than luxury development in the economy. the law professor said. Instead of build· ing five-star hotels. s he could initiate projects for the people. But the economy in general would be a major problem for anyone who would take over. Leary >aid. The sugar market has collapsed. and prices arc low all over the world. Aquino has said that s he won) inter· fere with US bases in the Philippines until the lease runs out, Leary noted . The us. biiSCs arc a major concern of the Leary opposed US •upport of Mar· cos. but caut..ioned that th is country ~houldn't try to place an Americanpicked leader in power. The leader would not be recognized as legitimate. Also. the Filipinos should decide themselve~ who their leaders are, she asserted. " I believe very strongly that the US sho uld support whomever the Philip· pine people have chosen." she said. "A nd they see m to have chosen Aquino." C harito Planas, -who spoke at an anti-Marcos rally at UB last week , told the Reporter Tuesday that she is j'ubilant over Aquino's rise to power. "llut I'm saddened because the two partners in crime are now part of the government," she ~aid. referring to Enrile and Ramos. "It was the people', power that brought Cory Aqumo into power. Hopefull y. she won) forget that." Planas had run with the late Benigno Aquino. in the 1978 National Assembly elections and subsequently was imprisoned by Marcos.

The program. she adds. helps Zodiaque dancers become better actors. since acting skill is required throughout. The Broadway show Dr~culo is the theatrical inspiration for Lynne Kurdziei-Forrnato's "A Town Without Pity," a tongue-in-cheek portrait of the Dracula legend . On hand are characters from the original Bram Stoker novel, along with stock figures from trad itional Dracula lore. "A Town Without Pity" refers both to the havoc created by the vampires in an unnamed Tran· sylva nian town, and the bloody excesses employed by the townspeople in their quest for revenge.

"My individual guess is that it will be three to six. months before they decide to ny again . " Farhi said. "Then the whole schedule will have to be readjusted.·· He noted that some experiments that were scheduled before his. such as those on Halley·s Comet. will be. dropped. With this in mind. he hopes to have his experiment up within a year. In his expcrimcnt 1 Farh i uses a breathing device to measure the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the atmosphere. The rate at which these gases are exchanged gives an excellent idea of how well the heart is functioning. he said. When we breathe. we take in needed oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. In the project . the subject breathes in and out of a closed bag, Farhi said. Since the unit i!. a closed system. the amount of oxygen in the system decreases while the amount of carbon dioxide increases. . The amount of carbon dioxide in the bag is measured by an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Looking at the rate of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide , we can get an idea of how much carbon dioxide is being eliminate-d by the lungs to the bag. This in turn tells us how much blood goes th rough the lungs. "Since all the blood in the body goes thro ugh the lungs. what wc·rc really measuring is how much blood the heart h pumping," Farhi said . The heart pumps blood out to all parts of the body. But under norm~! conditions the blood faces an uphtll fig ht ~~gainst gravity to no" back to the heart.

C a~c According to information from the vice provost"s omce. graduate groups arc intended to foster inttrdisciplinary research. education, and / or public ser~ vice involving faculty and students. The Executive Committee of the . Gra~uate chool confers recognititm on the group~ (or one calendar year (July 1-June 30). either with or without Graduate School support. Graduate chool support b given for a maxi· mum of five years. Applications for rccognrtion should include a de:,.criptio n of the interdisciplinar) :1rca .on "hich the group v.ill focu~ : a clear. conci~e. scientific statement of objectives (both immediate and long-range): a de•cription of the schol· arty or creative activrues to be .underLakcn: a description of anticipated out~ comes: name s of participants nod criteria for their selection: identification of available rc;Qurces: and a budget reque>ting Graduate School support (where nece sary). A Graduate Groups Advisory Committee evaluates the ap~lications for potential; past success: ev1dence of past and continuing accompli hments in the area by faculty participants: evidence of graduate student interest; and nidence of sufficient resources. Recognition will be recommended for groups rated either excellent or satisf tory by this panel. The 1985·86 graduate groups are Biomembranes. Cell Motility. Cognitive Sc1ences. Genetics, Human Rights. Marxist Studies. Modern German Stud· ie~. ephrology, curoscience, Semiotics. and •Structural Control. 0 �"I f xou can believe there's no sk:tll iovolved, then you can't do anything. But if you believe teaching is a skill that can be learned, you can do something." said orman Solkoff. interim director of UB's Office of Teaching Effectiveness. ''I believe the latter." The purpose of the ne.w Office for Teaching Effectiveness is to set up a service for faculty members who feel they have a problem in teaching. said Solkoff, who is also a professor of psychology in the ·Department of Psychiatry. The concept of the office was endorsed by the Faculty Senate in May and the establishment of the office was announced by the president in the fall. But the unit still doesn't have any office space, Solkoff noted. " It's still a concept - a concept that can be turned into something meaningful," he said. Since it has no secretary of its own, the office's work is being done by secretaries in the offices of the vice provost for undergraduate education or the dean of undergraduate academic services. As interim director, Solkoff is not salaried or being given release time. "But this is important to me," he said. "A lot of people want this help and they have no place to go. That's unfair tO. them and to the student. • he slant of the office is on people and teaching rather than on curricuT lum, Solkoff said. Not everybody who enters a classroom is a.natural teacher, but one can do a credible job if be or she takes the time to develop the techniques. He gave an example of learning when to break during a long lecture. Rather than break at an arbitrary time, watch the facial expressions of the students to see when they need a break. "These lillie techniques go a long way to improve teaching effectiveness." he said. . Solkoff likes tQ use "microteaching," a technique where a teacher gives a sample Teachin teachers to teacli class presentation while being videotaped. The tape might show that the teacher has-annoying tics, avoids looking at the class, or uses language the class doesn't understand. "He doesn't know he's doing it until he looks at himself. • Solkoff •aid. Microteaching was used in the August workshops for new~ the panicipants found it most helpful, he reported. Another project of the office will be to set up a cadre of experienced teachers to serve as consultants. In the next couple of weeks, Solkoff said, he is planning to meet with recipients of Chancellor's Awards to ask them for suggestions on faculty development. As consultants, they might go over a course outline with a faculty member or sit in on a class. They might also give advice in their specialty. For instance, if a physics instructor needed help getting equations across to his class. the office could find a Chancellor's Award winner in a sit~ilar area to offer ~ome tips. oil want to involve as many prestigious faculty members as possible." Solkoff said. "That tells people it's a wonhy enterprise. ·• · Another group Solkoff will work with is the Faculty Senate's Teaching Quality Coml)littee, which he also chairs. Solkoff and the committee have already teamed up with James Anderson of the Educational Communications Center to put together a proposal for an October faculty conference called "Technology: Tool or Tyrant?" The workshop will focus on effective uses of media, such as videotaping. in education. n another project, Claude Welch, chairman of the Faculty Senate; IFrank Schimpfhauser, secretary of the senate. and Solkoff are working on a proposal to the Lilly Endowmenl for a grant to train tenured faculry. In each year of the three-year proposal. eight tenured faculty me_!!lbers, for a total By CONNIE OSWALD STO~KO of 24, would be involved. They could develop new counes... reviM: courses~ develop interdisciplinary courses. or examine nc\\ imarurnents lo evaluate courses. A proposal is also ready for the third faculty development workshop to be held for new faculty in AugusL UUP\ Quality of Life Commitlee and the President's Office have funded the workshop in the past, but it hasn' been decided how it will be funded this year. Solkoff said. Another proposal in the works is one to the Foundation for the Improvement of Post-secondary Education outlining a project to improve undergraduate education. Solkoff is also trying to build a ;maU library of reference materials on teaching for the office. He is visiting other univer..ities to see what kind of faculty development offices . they have .. Harvard, switchin~ from a lecture to a a seminar approuch, IS retrainin~ all of its teachers. Another interesting tw1st is that Harvard also teaches students how to. interact with professors - interaction isn' a one-way street. Solkoff noted. At Syracuse University. Solkoff found a heavily funded program that. he said was a bureaucratic nightmare. He has also visited Buffalo State College and will visit Stanford University. University of the Pacific. University of California at Davis, and perhaps others. Jn addition to gleaning information from other universities, Sqlkoff h.a~ his own experience to fall back on. " I've taught every conceivable kind o( class," he said. T.hrough the Office of Teaching Effectiveness, Solkoff said he h.o pes to develop "a pervasive feeling throughout tbe Umversity that teaching is important to us. It's as imponant as research -you can't negle~ one( for the other. "Some of the best teachers are researchers. They can relate their work to their students. To say, 'I did this' is enormously engaging to students." D �Februuy 27, 1111 Volume 17, No. 21 UBriefs BuiTalo. !\. Y..~l4221.

Instead. the five new positions will be filled b)' one electrical technician and four civilian dispatchers. ~ According to Lee E. Griffin. director of Public Safety. the hiring of civilians to fill the dispatcher's jobs is being done elsewhere and should be an improvement over the officers who now fill those slots. ·"II will be beuer because people hired for a (dispatch) job will be more enthusiastic than an officer who gets it by default." Griffin said. Other police departments. such as Cheektowaga's, must give officers incentives. such as sergeant's pay, to get them to take dispatch jobs. For this reason. many departments now hire civilians 10 tak.c the duties of dispatcher, he noted . The dispatch job itself is "gcuing more complex.·· according to Griffin. Each shift has one dispatcher responsible for three computer syStems and six comp la int phones. The dispatcher also is responsible for sending officers to any one of the 470 zones into which the <:ampus is divided , and for responding to Cach one of the ten contact are~s (consisting of phones. alarms. etc.) 111 each zone. . Griffin said that with the addition of the new dis patchers. four officers couiP be added to patrols on campus. P D onald Kreger. president of University Police Local 1792. Council 82. AFSCM E, agFCcs with Griffin that the dispatch job is complex, but differs with him on the hiring of civilians. "The dispatch job is the most stressful job on the force, .. said Kreger, "and would be bener filled by officers." According to Kreger. many officers not only like the dispatching job, but request it. He believes that officers would be bellcr suited to fill the jobs because '"an 9fficer knows what another officer expects from him in that position ... Kreger also said lhal the hiring of new, you ng officers would help the overall complexion of the force. .. As it stands now. the average age of Public Safety officers is over 40 and we could use so me younger people," he said. Even with the added patrolmen. don1 look for a marked increase in Public Safety visibility. Kreger said. "Officers will still have to dispatch; it's just a maHer of scheduling," he noted. "The one or two extra men on patrol won1 mak~ thai much of a diff- ereOce ... One thing that both men could agree on was the fact that they could use more than five new positions. "We've lost about 15 jobs in the last few years;· said Kreger. Added Griffin. "We could use more, but cuts have hurt everyone. Getting all the personnel . I want would be like asking to win the lonery. We just h~ve to do more with less.'' 0 \ SURVIVAL IN AUSCHWITZ AND THE ~EN I NG by Primo Levi (Simon & Schuster. $19.95).

I walk fast." Judelsohn certainly moves quickly between his career as a pediatrician, his family commitm ents, and his role as a jazz host. His medical and musical interests fused duriAg a trip he took to Europe on a summer fellowship program his third year at US's School of Medrcine. He had the chance to hear abroad his favorite kind of music - modern jazz. "It was an exciting opportunity to ~:c~~~~~d~~~h~ ·~~~::~~ about 1966, andtheywerestill playing straight-ahead modern jazz there. At the time, jazz was changing drastically Into a period somelimes called 'new music' or 'free muSic' and a lot of the temlliar approache~ and structures that many of us liked so much in the 40s and 50s were abandoned. There was no real re·ason for me to continue an interest in jazz radio," something he had enjoyed as a college undergraduate. It was In the spring of 1976 that former FM 88 Program Director Marcia Alvar interviewed him about immunizations and childhood diseases. After, he toured the station and talked about his college radio experience. T'he 1963 Unioh College (Schenectady) graduate recalled, "One of the most Important student activities was the radio station. 1 became a )au disc jockey during my freshman year and as the tour years passed , I became involved in other aspects of the staUon, rising eventuaJiy to become statlon manager. It was a nice opportunity to share music with listeners." Alvar mentioned to Judelsohn that WBFO would start a )auspecialty se~ies In July, 1976, and asked him if he'd like to audition. The offer rek indled his Interest so he went home, did a lot of homework, practiced, and performed a live audition for Music Di rector John Hunt. Judelsohn said , " I got the Monday night slot playing music which 1 felt comfortable with and enjoyed. I' ve been doing it ever since," J udelsohn f irst tfecame Interested In jazz at Bennett High In Buffalo when he and his friends formed a band in which hB played saxophone. At the time record labels such as Blue Note, Contemporary , Prestige, and Pacific Jazz were pressing hot releasesArt Blakey's "Moanin'," Richard carpenter's 'Walkl n'," and Horace ple. Judetsohn's band featured theSe hits. "We couldn't play the songs nearly as well as the original artists," he said, " but sometimes we could get the melody out and we'd even take a rudimentary stab at a solo. 'olfcali the band experience and the exposure to jazz that caught my interest." Since he started at WBFO, Judelsohn has seen the station's cOllection 8xpand tram about 3,000 records to almost 10,000. His own collection includes about 400 albums, mostly originals from the modern jazz era, 1940-1965. Naturally. this entire collection has cuts from the greats as well as from not- a so-well-known anlsts. " Because of my responsibility as a broadcaster, I've come to spend a lot of time ta lking about major ligures," Judelsohn commented . "so 1 say that my favorite art1sts include Charlie Parker. Oiuy Gillespie, Miles Dav•s. Bud Powell, and The-lonius Monk. But also because of my broadcasting interests and the fact that I have to fill 52 hours a year, I've come to apprec•ate less well· known art1sts like p1an lst Sonny Clark. and sax players Uke Cliff Jor· dan and Lou Donaldson. 'rhere'sso much good music that I can't really say I have any part icular favorites." The Flral Twenty Years of Modern Jazz is more than a showcase of musi c. Judelsohn attempts to enlighten listeners by lea rning about musicians, the background of particular recording sessions, or events related to what he Plays.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Susan Hamlen, associate professor of management, said that ln the past, notes · for large-section classes were sold at the bookstore. Robert Cooper, associate professor of pharmacy, added that when he was an undergraduate student at Berkeley in the 1950s, independent businessmen sent notetakers into class. They copyrighted the notes and sold them. Heary said that one student suggo;sted that SA ask faculty members for their notes and sell them. There are no plans to do that, though, and Heary said he dido\ know of anyone selling notes on campus now. _ Walter Kunz, dean of Undergraduate Academic Services, questioned whether a faculty member, in order to copyright his own lect=. wouldn l have to determine how much of the lecture is orisiftal work.

University Professors (AAUP) if their attorneys have looked at the question. Dennis Malone, professor of electrical and computer engineeri.ng, said that lecture material can be copyrighted if it's videotaped, but not if it's just tape recorded .

However, the graduate fee increase is contingent upon the adop tion of a dollar· a-semester increase in the Undergraduate Student Association mandatory fee. Undergraduates will vote in a referendum March 12, 13. and 14. The two studen t governments cannot individually provide the funds needed to meet The Spectrum's deb". so both organizations must -approve the increase or neither will increase its fees. The p.lin, which calls for the reorganization of The Spet·lrum's financial operations. is expected to last three years. The situation will then be evaluated.

Jan Goodwm, the editor of the LAdies Home Journal. and Torially Khanjar, an Afghan paramedic / freedom fighter. offered a picture of Soviet beastiality so graphic that it left the mell of burning flesh in the theatre. The hides of such media cows as the New York Times and C were tanned as well. adding to the lingering stench. In an epilogue. David Scanlon of the Young Conservatives Foundation in Washing· ton. D.C., offered a prescription for an .air freshener: put press ure on the SUNY Trustees to divest their stock in compa· nies doing business in the USSR. Otherwise. he warned the 100-or·so in atten· dance. "we, too. havt blood on our .. hands!" Anyone who consider) the Soviet - ... Union a non·threatening state beset by a lackluster ideology and economic stagnation. Prof. Michaels submitted, is either "naive or pre-meditatedly self-servi ng." Those who whine about more for the poor and less for the U.S. military, he warned. had better realize that the Soviets and their East German and Cuban puppets are active throughout the ·world, "bent on destroying competing economic and socia1 systems." The USS R, Michaels charged, is del iberately creating starvation in Afghanistan by destroying food crOP.S: "They want to do there what their puppets did in Ethiopia." Napalm, poison gas, and booby-trapped toys are all part of the arsenal the Russians are using on the defenseless. Fifty thousand Afghan children have been ~natched from their homes and sent to eastern bloc nations for " indoctrination;" one-third of the population have beendispl~ced or killed. Where are the campus actlvtsts who are so concerned about injustices in the world?" Michaels demanded. "Afghanistan shows their hypocrisy; their silence is deafening." "You might well ask what the Ladies /lome Journal is doing in Afghanistan," began Edi tor Goodwin who, before taking over the helm of that women's literary ~nstitutio~, was an investigative reporter. a foretgn corres·· Torlally KhiHI}ar (fell) and Jan Goodwin (holding bulferlly bomb). pondent in Israel and Greece, and a BBC radio reporter. In the course of her career, she noted. she has covered wars in the Middle East, El Salvador, Cambodia and Afghanistan, having just vi ited 10 provinces in the latter during a three· month tour with freedom fighters there. This woman, clearly. isn~ edi)ing the same Journal mother used to read. The Soviets in Afghanistan, she accused, behave like the Nazis of World War ll . rounding up little children and shipping them off for lessons in .. correct thinking." Children are also targets of bombs. she assened, holding up a lethal " butterfly" mine which the Soviets have dumped over Afghanistan by the tens of thousands. " If you touch it, orstep on it," Goodwin said, "it takes off an arm or a leg." Other bombs come in the equally innocent shapes of dolls, green parrots, and balls. "Never have I seen so many child amputees,"she said. Children have been thrown out of flying helicopters and set afire in front of their parents, Goodwin reported. Five hundred people were burned alive in an irrigation canal in another incident. She was tliei'e'when a beautiful, fertile valley was laid waste by three days of constant, 24-hour-a-day bombing: " I know now what the IIIIIOlcar winter will look like," she mused. The American press is burying the story, Goodwin charged. It 's a difficult war to cover, she acknowltdJled- thc nation i the size of Texas with 1mpas able, mountainous ter· rain, broken here and there by valleys. And the Soviets have threatened to kill any foreign journalists they find inside. That threat was carried out to the letter on an American journalist from the ArizO liO Republic. But, said Goodwin, we dido~ read about that here. The U.S. media is more worked up about being barred from anti-apartheid rallies in South Africa than illS about genocide in Kabul. Take The New York Times. In a recent issue, Goodwin said, that media giant found only 6 lines about the Russian aggression in Afghanistan fit to print, while devpting four full columns to a feature on Afghans in the fast food business in New York. Much of the media coverage that has come through, she charged, has been romanticized. Dan Rather, for example, became "Gunga Dan" during his on-the-scene coverage. The Afghan people ask why the U.S. has forgotten them, she noted. K hanjar, who has come to America to help gai)l humanitarian suppon for his people, told of suffering and de~th among young and old. of starvation. and of shortages of medical supplies for the sick and the wounded among the resistance fighters, known as the Mujahadin. He described how one young soldier calmly removed the remaining fragments of his ll)aimed right band by stq,ping on the ravaged flesh and ripping the hanging remnants from his wrist. Those who flee the terror by crossing to Pakistan find only cholera, typhoid, malaria, dysentery. and> boredom, he said. There have even been bombings of the refugee camps. Comfortable Americans cry for the seven victims of the space shuttle, he observed. but "nobody here cries for or helps millions of children and freedom fighters in my country. "A nation 'is dying and the world is sleeping," he lamented . No, his people don 1t want American armed intervention, Khanjar said in answer to an audience question. "We can fight for ourselves with a little outside aid,'.' he replied. Vietnam showed that a small nation can startd down a super· power with a little hefp, Goodwin said. And, as Prof. Michaels chimed in, Af- ghanistan was the only nation 'o repel both Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great. One way to offer help, the Young Conservatives' Scanlon suggested, 3fter the principals had left fQr a radio broadcast. IS to pu! pressure on the nation's colleges and uniycrSities to rid themselves of their stocks in companies doing business in the USSR. U.S. companies doing business with the Russians fuel human·rights vio· tru.ions and underwrite the Soviet arms build-up. They bring in the consumer goods, so the KremHn can concentrate on arms ... We have to raise such a stink that they11 stop," he said. "Stopping that trade with tyrants," Scanlon proposed, "has to become the burning issue on college campuses today." Karl Marx prophesied that when the las capitalist was hung, he'd sell his hangman the r.ope, Scanlon recalled. "We need to take that rope and leash 0 the Russian bear." SUNY won't harm others to push UB, Stony_Bro.ok raduateeducation and research at UB and Stony Brook will not be developed at the expense of the other campuses. Chancellor Clifton Wharton said at a recent meeting of the SU Y-wide Faculty Senate. The 1985 report of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University proposed that the two cam· puses become flagships of research. No allocation of funds will be made at the expense of the other campuses, Wharton reassured the senators. The chancellor did not say where the reso urces would come from, noted Walter Kunz, a SUNY senator and dean of Undergraduate Aca· demic Services at UB. Wharton added that he expects research to be conducted at the other campuses as well, according to Kunz. Kunz also reported these events at the meeting: . • The Faculty Senate called upon Senato r Daniel P. Moynihan and Senator Alfonse D'Amato to help defeat legislation passed by the House of Representatives in December that would take away the tax-exempt status of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association and the College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA / CREF). According to the resolution, the legislation would seriously and adversely affect pension status and retirement sav· G ings plans by imposine unnecessary pension plan rules destgned for profitmaking organizations o~ TIAA / CREF, by reducing limits and flexibilities for tax-def'erred annuities and 403(b) supplemental retirement accounts. and by removing the .tax exempt status. • UB's amendment was accepted for a resolution on transfers. The SU Y senate endorsed the concept that students graduating from parallel programs in two-year schools should be able to follow a program that would allow them to ~rad­ uate from four·year units in an additional two years. The_~;esolution also promotes increased aniculation between tWO· and four·year institutions. • The senators passed a resolution recommending that the chancellor create a Council on Women's Studies to replace the Chancellors Advisory Committee on Women's Studies. The new group would be more active and able to initiate action to a greater degree. • The Faculty Senate .requested that the chancellor send copies of quarterly flexibility legislation reports to local campus groups. This measure tries to el\eure !hat campus groups are notified if there have been reallocations made within the new flexibility legislation. • The SUNY Trustees present dismissed the idea of naming a faculty member to the Board of Trustees. There is a student on the board. 0 �February 20, 1916 Volume 17, No. 19 oints Sample endorseS!, Capen's views on freecfom in the classroom (Editor's Note: Mylea Stalin, professor of Engll•h at t,JS, recently wrote to Sle•en Sampla asking the presldanl lo reaffirm fanner US Chancellor Samuel Capen's statement on the right of faculty to express !heir •lew., lrre-eec· ll•e of unpopularity or prejudlcea.

I am glad to have this opportunity to s hare mv views about academic freedom · with voli. but I offer them as a colleague· and fellow professerr~ot as a policy ~ta tcment. The proper fofum for a debate about academic policy is the Facully Senate. which is, I believe, presently working ~o n a. number of the issues you have raised. It is very important that such fundamenta l principles as academic freedom and responsibility be debated by the Faculty Senate. a!' we\\ as by other groups o n campus that can cont ribulc to our understanding of these issues, prior to any formal pronouncement of policy.

It i!'l importan,t , however, to continue beyo nd that portion of Capen's !'ltatcment quoted in the University's Student Rules and Regulations. and recall ;orne ad ditional points he made when addressing the question of acadCmic freedom in a speech to a Confere nce of Trustees of Colleges and Universities in April, 1935: " Acceptance by an institution of the principle of academic freedom implies that teachers in that institution are free to investigate any subject, no matter how much n may be hedged about by taboos;. that they are free to make lrnown the: results of their investigation,..... and their renection by word of moudl or in writing, before their classes or elsewhere: that ttiey arc frtt to diffe.r wlth their colleagues and to present the grounds of their differenCe in their · classes or elsewhere: that they are free as citiz.cns to take pan in any public controversy outside the institution; tbat. no repreSsive measures. di~ or indirect. will be applied to them no mat· ter how unpopular they may become through opposing powerful interests or jostling establ is hed prejudices. and no maner •how mistaken they may appear to be in the eyes of members and friends of.lhe institution; that their continuance in office will be in aH instances governed by. the prtvailin}, rules of tenure and that th.eir academic advancement will be dependent on their scientific c;ompctencc and will be in no wise affc:Cte<J by the popularity or . unpopularity of their opinions or utterances: that stud ents in the institution are free, in so f:ir as the requirements of the several cu'rrit:ula permit. to mquirc mto any subject that inter· ests them. to organize discussion ~roups o r study clubs for the consideration of any subject. and to invite to address them any speaker they may choose; that censorship of student publications shall be based on preci~Jy the same grounds and shall extend no further than that exercised by the United Stales Postal au th orities. ..

And aespite the fact that Social Sciences has more than 1.800 majors and i~ a significant contributor to pre~ profes!tional programs, general educa· tion. and electives for undergraduates across the University. it has been allowed to recoup only four of the 50 tenured faculty lines it has lot since 1977. and that was done in the last academic year. Social Sciences Dean Ross MacKinnon offered these ligures to the UB Council last week partially. he indicated, to correct any misconceptions regarding workload in his Faculty and also to underscore the problems of an adminis· tratorwho seeks to foster excellence in an area, yet doesn ~ have the resources to do the job the way he'd like. The cuts experienced by, _the Social Sciences have left some .. senous work· load problems" and "programmatic holes" in a number of units, the dean relayed . Communi~ation. for example, has 350 majors yet only seven fao:ulty, while in Linguistics. a s(llall but sohd department, each faculty member must manage two to three doctoral candidatts. At the present time, he continued, there is no faculty member to teach 20th centUI) American history or medieval history; no sociologist to teach the sociology or organizations - a staple in any respectable sociology department - and no formal theorist in Political Science, again a necessity in any "serious" political science unit, MacKinnon told the Reporler. Because he has had to contend with diminished resources and still strive for enhanced quality, MacKinnon said he has· adopted the strategy of "building on quality," meaning that he plans to further increase the strength of his units that are already nationally ranked: Psychology and Geography. while also attempting to "fill in the holes" of the others. The dean noted .with more than a trace of aggravation that sometimeS it appears the "cards ... are stacked" against him. Stony Brook. he noted , whose psychology department "doesn't come close" to the quality ofUB's, will be allowed to hire ten to 12 new faculty to build tfie unit. By contrast, U B·seems to get shortchanged, he lamented. To try to fill the programmatic holes. MacKinnon said he has established a "shared resources plan," in which facult y from one unit teach in another. Cur· rently. faculty from eight units in the Social Sciences are teaching and advising in Communi·c ation and two geographers arc teaching in EconQmics. 0 We'll have a union, but when and how big ....? he issue is not if U B should have a centralized student union. President Sample told U B Council members at a February 13 meeting, but "how big and where" it should be. Sample said he supports the id.e a of turning the current Student Activities Center (SAC) into a bona fide student union by building onto the current facility in phases, with the last phase of construction to be completed no later than the early 1990s. Phase one consists of what is now in place, a 40,000-square-foot center. Phase two, which he hopes to build "as quickly as possible.'' would, consist of an addi- T tional 40,000 square feet. Finally. phase three would bnng the entire facihty to approximately 120.000 square feet. Sample said he doesn't know of any other major public institution without a student union . Almost everybody he speaks to regarding the subject - including officials in Albany and SUNY Central - agree that a union is needed on the North Campus, he indicated. Though the President conceded -that there are .. pros and cons" to the idea of expanding the current SAC, he believes that a "reasonable consensus" has now been reached to do so. At this time, Sample said he can neither"subscribe to nor reject .. the repon received from the Univer5ity House Council regarding how big the proposed student union should be. He did note. however, that the repon called for construction of more than 40,000 square feet during phase two of the build-out. The report still needs to be: discussed with other University groups, he said. SA Pj<:Sid~nt Bob Heary told the Council that h e has no particular objection to the build-out occurring in phases, as long as construction doesn~ stop after phase tWO. "Let's just build the damn thing and put it all be~ind us," he asserted. 0 �Februry 20, 11111 Volume 17, No. 11 Flexible --.. Soong is working on structures-that will . change with lhe wind If By DAVID C. WEBB hat is the s hape of buildings to corrft? · Buildings ·may take on novel shapes that change with differing environmental conditions, according to Tsu-Teh Soong, Ph.D. W The civil ensinecring professor is in·ves~ tigating what IS called ..active" structures that may bend, stretch. or change their posture, like human. beings who bend mto a strong wind or tfex theinnuscles to perform a task . The stf uctures would be designed to with"stil,nd adverse conditions'with their flexible shape~. according to Soong. -In order to stud y these structures. Soong was awarded a o ne-year grant for $30,000 from the· Natign~l Science ..Founda tio n. The grant is one Oft he first a";:irds by NSF under the Expedited Av.ards for •ovel Research program begun in ovcmber. ··Active structures represent a new strain of s tructures which will be fundamentally different from traditional ones in all aspects: shape. volume, weighJ.;lnd utilization of material," Soong"""'""said. "Since a struciUre must withstand ever• changing environmental conditions and varying usage over its useful life, it should be adaptable and responsive to these changes. " The active structu re concept would be particularly important for high-rise buildings, nuclear power plants. deepwater offshore drilling 'rigs. rad io telescopes. and aerospace structures. A building might change its shape in a strong wind to prevent swaying that could damage the building or its content•. These active buildings might bend in response to shaking from earthquakes. Active bridges might bend under heavy loads. such as trucks or freight trains, preventing structural damage. For the past 10 years, Soo ng has been Someday buildings may bend and stretch. studying structures with active control, which are very different from -active structures ... He explai ned that active control can be added to an existing design to help the structure withstand environmenta l stress such as wind or earthq uakes. but active structures a recreated with controls built into their designs. esulting in completely different shapes that may cha n~e. depending on environmental condttions. F or example. Soong has tested a wing-like device that could be added to a high-rise building to prevent swaying caused by wind. This active control device turns by signals from sensors like a flap on an airplane wing. reducing the sway. However. an active sl{ucture would be able to change its shape with retractable flaps that emerge from the outside walls of the building. Other imQginative, changing shapes are possible. Soong has tested a tendon system that reinforces a building to prevent damage during earthquakes. Testmg of this active co ntrol was done on UB's earthquake simulator in the Earthquake Engineering and System• Dynamics Laboratory. In an active tructure. the tendon svstem might actually change the posture of the structure to keep its balance during an earthqua~e . The ne" 'l F grant was created to encourage investigators with highly original, timely. and innovative research ideas to· submit ,proposals. which can be funded without the usual ix- to ninemonth delal. . -This grant was awarded With incredtble speed · only two weeks from proposal ubmtSsion to award,Soong said . The civil engineering professor i! in olvcd in five other research grants at much higher fu nding levels. butt his one he likes the best. "A grant of this type allows one to explore and pursue highrisk research ideas," h~ said. -Also. the fact that one receives nn award on th~ basis says a lot about his or her research credibilny." The -t:rant proposal do not undergo ex ten he peer review in order to expedite the approvals and only two t}pe"rillen pa~es are required for the technical dcscnption. 0 Campaign planning tJjghlights UBF year P reparation for a major capital campaign orga nizatio n of a Sl million c3 t 1paign in honor of the School of Pharmacy's IOOth Anniversary. the drawing of plans for a $900,000 Amherst Camp us observatory, a~d acquisition of land for a UB "Greek Row" highlighted ano th er recordbreaking year for the UB Foundation. Inc. rUB F). its chairman Jeremy M. Jacobs said this week. Total income for 1985, Jacobs said. rcochcd $9.345,439 which excoeded the record stt the previous year by $1.026.979. or 12.3 per cent. Current fund income (income other than endowment or investment revenues) amounted to 57,554,768 of the total, up 15.7 percent from 1984. Endowment gifts totaled $681 , 774 and i nvcsiment revenues. $1.108,897. Most gifts were for restricted purposes, Jacobs said . Perhaps the most satisfying gain. he noted. was a record-setting number of 15.298 donors. 6.2 per cent above the 1984 fi~ure (which was also a record). Alumnt donors totaled 11 ,560; nonalumni, 3,099: corporations, 483; and foundations and organizations, 156. The on-going Telefund campaign accounted for 12,159ofthosedonorsand resulted in $681,150 in income. an average gift of$56.02. The Telefund yield was up $107.21 I or 18.7 per cent. Over 500 student callers were employed throughout the year on the project. Among other details of the year, Chairman Jacobs listed: • Capital Campaign Planning. A formal timetable for a'l:'~iversit,Y capital campaign was approveo~ong wtth a pre- lim inary Case Statement of Univer>ity priority needs as developed by Provost William Greiner. In addi tion. Ja~s 'liaid, a series of initial Leadership Gift solicita tions were carried out by President Sample. "Although these potential sources of leadership support are still open." he said . "the procc;s it•df was most gratifying... The University also completed plans to implement an Alumni Development Information ystem which the Foundation considers a top priority toward becoming -campaign-ready ... Finally in th1s area. procedures were implemented that will allow the Foundation's Board of Trustees to be expanded to accommodate the overall requirements of a campaign. Jacobs noted . • Inauguration of a corporate relations commiHee. Under the chairmanship of Robert E. Rich, Jr., this new support group will foc~s on the mutual goals of the Western ew York business community and the University in addition to its financial development role. • Property acql!lslllon lor a Greek Row. Acquisition of 3.83 acres of property along Sweet Home Road, its subsequent rezoning by the T.own of Amherst. and development of a complete site plan, Jacobs reported, will allow the University to pursue a potential six~ house , 240-student-capacity project on the site in 1986. • Establishment of a campaign lor Pharmacy's 100th Anniversary. A $1 million campaign to establish an · endowed chair and leetureship in honor of the School of Pharmacy's IOOth Anni- versary on September 20. 1986, was organtzed. Its leaders are Mr. Wilfred J.

Jacob said . • Planning lor a campus observatory . .Jn the wake of a gift in the form ola $75,000 telescope from Mr. Miro Catipovic. O\l.ncr o l Tonawanda· Limb & Brace. Inc .. Jacobs indicated . final plan · were drawn for a $900.000 observatory to be located on the Amherst Campus. The facility will be used in the educational programs of the University and will be open to all area educational institutions. scientific organizations, and the public. Potential support sources are currently under consideration. he noted. • SUNY/UBj: - UBF/RF Agreements. After two years of discussion and negotiations. Jacobs said, "a~treements were signed with the State Untversity of New York and The Research Foundation of State University of ew York that will greatly assist the University at Buffalo toward its stated goal of expanded research funding." The agreement define appropriate JTICChanisms and procedures for handling sponsored programs at U B and provide nexibility in the research process not currently available elsewhere iri the State University system, he said. • Incubator Facility. Based on a $700,000 grant from the State of ew . York and the Urban Development Corporation and as 1.3 milhon loan from the , e" York State cience and Teehnolo_gy Foundation, Jacobs reponed. inittal plans for this proposed 40.000 quarefoot facility were developed. The Saratoga Associates of BuiTalo and Economic Research Associates of Boston were employro 1 , , develop a marketing and implementation strategy. and conMruction is expected to begin ·in mid-1986. • • Center lor Tomorrow Expansion. Construction of 2.000 additional square feet of UBF office space was begun. This space will allow the Foundation to centralize its fund-raising sta'ff. streamline financial services. and provide additional space required foraddttional staff and for the requirements of the capital campaign. The architect is Cannon Design, Inc .. and the John W. Cowper Company was selected as the general contractor. Completion is expected by April I, 1986 . • A gaJt! of 560,000 In support of students. One of the most important roles the Foundation plays in support of the University, Jacobs satd, is in the area of direct student aid. During the year, 925 students received varying typos of ft.nancial s upport totaling $836,567. up S57,323 ot 7 per cent.. 0 �Fetwu.ry 20 1986 Vol- 17, No. 19 ton. 11 :30 p.m. Ge(lfral admiuion S3.00: studentS a. m.

Personality problems shouldn\ play a role ideally, but in fact, they do." While Schimpfhauser found certain disciplines, notably psychia1ry, to be quite stable, retainjog most of the students who chose i1 originally, he found that other fields both lost and gained stu· . dents. Certain discipli nes, however, were consistently on the losing end. In 38 ptr cent oft he changes, for example, the dis· cipline r<:jected was family medicine. While this field was a common early choice for students entering medical school, 76 per cent of these student.• rejected 1hat initial choice and selected ano1her specialty. The field auraeted only one student who hadn\ selected it as an mitial choice. By contrast. most of the students who ultimate ly chose internal mcd icine , s urgery. surgical specialties. and medtcal specialties had initially selected a different field. Internal medicine. for ex.ample, received 48 p~r cent of hs students by conversion from another specialty. Schimpfhauser and his associates maintain that for medical educators and those concerned with student career selection, understanding the process of change in. career choice may provide a basis for strategies to influence or support career decisions. If Lhtr<: is a desire to mcrease the proportion of students entering family medicine, for example, recruitmenl efforts would likely be most profitable if directed to the group of stu· dents initially expr~ing a pr<:fer<:nce for that field with carefully designed fol· lowup and retention efforts. 0 �.T HE Game The Bulls blow it The screaming, ·lhe ahoutlng, lhe name calling, and lhe shoving are orer.

Vol- 17, No. 11 ·Maternal behavior Primate research probes social aspects primarily responsible for maintaining contact and proximity . .Over time, how· ever, ff' reversal took place: the infant assumed greater responsibility for maintaining contact apd the mother more frequently rejected it. This finding w4s similar to that of animal behaviDralist Robert Hii\ilc- and his co-workers. who studied captive animals. " In both groups, changes in motherinfant relationshlpS over time were due primarily to Qecreases in the: mothers', rather than the infants•, propensities to seek contact anQfproximity," Berman notes. ,. \ ;, While similarities were great ... small but consistent differences" between colonies were found in the studies. The freeranging mothers had slightly less contact and f'l'?Ximity with their young, and their infants assumed slightly more responsibility for maintaining proximity in all age · groups but one. child has a profound and lasting effect on its initial and later social interactions. T·mothers' cue on social iqteractions he fact that offspring follow their probably is due to Lhe mother's close monitoring of her child during infancy. where she "actively and selectively Lhwarts auempts" by unwanted others tp com~ in contact with hef infant, and vice versa. In other words, only th ose who interact with the rJothcr during the child's early infancy 11et to inletact Wi th1r. But even after the infant has reached 30 weeks of age and is considerably more independent, Berman found its realm of interactions continued to copy its mOther's. · A man's closest ~the monkey. h is there, on Cayo Santiago, where U B anthropologist Carol M. Berman, Ph.D .. collects detailed observational data on free~rangi ng rhesus monkeys, with the goal of developing principles, hypotheses and methods relevant to the study of human behavior. Berman's trips to the island in 1974, 1975 and 1979 produced behavioral data on 39 primates and their infa nts in one social group. She is now engaged in a four-year follow-up investigation th at will render rare longit ud inal data on the effects of maternal age on _maternal behavior, infant survival and infant social development. The stud y is being funded by a Sl47,000 grant from the ational Institute of Mental Health and with funds from the University. The infant macaques Berman stud ied in the 1970's are now mothers themselves and 'their progenitors are older mothers, many of whom are still reproducing. This makes it possible for her to examine the extent to which a monkey's maternal style is adopted by her daughter and affects the way she rears her young, and whether a macaque's style of mothering changes as she gets oldel, The resu lts, explains Berma~ "will contribute to an understanding of whether age, per se. influences mothering or whether social circumstances surrounding older mothers are more important. .. :The study has particular relevance today, she adds, when a growing number of women are choosing not to have children until their 30's, and many grandmothers are rearing offspring of teenage mothers. Her preliminary data indicate that age itself does not directly innuence macaque behavior, bur rather that the circumstances these older mothers find themselves in - such as having other offspring to look after - make demands on them that cause behavioral variations. n Berman's fil5t study in 1980 on social development of infant rhesus monkeys. she compared the social interactions of free-ranging mothers and infants observed at Cayo with captive monkeys she observed at the Madin~ley colony in Cambridge, England. Madmgley had six pens of animalst each contain.ing one ad ult male, two to fo ur females and their offspring. Berman found that in both the captive and free-ranging groups, the motherinfant relationships were "remarkably similar ... both qualitatively and quantitatively." In both colonies, mothers and infants were in almost constant direct frontal contact, with the mother being I A fter examining a number of possi ble explanations fpr the differences, Berman theorizes that they relate to the kinship structures of both groups. The Cayo monkeys, she ex plains, "live in large, naturally formed , species-typical social groups composed of a large core of adult females, the1r immediate offs pring and a number of transient males." Males leave their natal homes after birth to join other groups, while the fema les remain with their natal groups until death and maintain close association with their . maternal kin and offspring. T he gro up of animals Berman studied on Cayo had three lineages that totaled between 53 and 77 monkeys during the course of her study, and included members spanning four generations. Five other social groups also exist on tbe island . By contrast, the captive Madingley ani mals, many of whom were born and reared to adulthood at the colony, did nol have a well-developed kinship structure. " I was left with the hypothesis that free-rangi ng mothers may have been more relaxed with their infants because they were able to raise them among their kin," she says, which probably accounts for their tendency to be more rejecting and encoura,l\ii'ilfbf independence. As infant macaques mature, Berman found, their social network mirrors that of their mothers~ed her to conclude that a- mother's early innue nce on her erman and her assistant were able to recogniu eacft monkey by a number an(! letter tattoo on its chest and '6y special ear markings made by colony staff which distinguished members of each lineage. Interestingly, the tattoos provided only initial assistance to researchers. In time, each monkey became an individual. identifiable by different facial characteristics and traits. E\'Cn Berman·s graduate st udents, who at fir t showed a great deal of sk~pticism about being able to recognize individual animals, were able to do so by the end of their summer o n Cayo. As the animal residents of Cayo becanl'C more familiar with Berman, she was able to observe their action~ unobtrusively from as c_lose H! five feet away. • While there are some limitations to usin-g Cayo as a research tool. Berman feels that its advantages far outweigh any negative features . For instance. because they are given food and have no natural predators on the island, the monkeys'lineages are more elaborate than those typically found in the wild, and may have some impact on their kin-related behavior. Cayo provides a natural sen_ing where detailed information can be collected more easily on a grealer number of ani mals, enabling researchers to better study the natural inclinations of animals wit h respect to kinship or other aspects of grou p structure. In tbis regard, Berman sees Cayo as a "bridge" between wild and captive 0 studies. 8 By JO'YCE BUCHNOWSKI • lush 39-acre island off the east coast of Puerto Rico houses a Primate research center wheie · behavioral scientists hav(.come for decades to stud y the interactions of Berman's data also indicate that lineage has a direct bearinj! on the number of aggressive and defensove social interactions the monkeys experience during infancy, and may serve as a mechanism -through which they acquire rank. Infa nts of high-ranking mothers, she found, tend to be threatened less fre'quently by other group members than infants of lower-ranking mothers, and are also less likely to be threatened by unrelated or unfamiliar group members. Moreover, by the Lime these infants reach 27 to 30 weeks of age, they are more likely to receive proteci'ion from their mothers or close female relatives (CFR 's) when a threatening situation occurs. "In this sense. infants of high-ra'nking · mathers are prgtected roo~~ successfull y and perhaps presented with beuer models to copy," Berman concludes. Her data analyses also show Lbat a mother's rank has a direct bearing on the number of CFR 's that serve as caretakers, she advises. Further, the greater social cohesiveness exhibited .,by highrankin~ lineages allows infants to spend -mort ttme riear their relat ives. Kln1hlp 1tructure alfecta the bonding between primate mother and lnt.Dl "This implies a number of things," she advises. "F1rst, infants appear to function as mell}bers of the ir own lineages virtually from the beginning. Second, the mother's early innuence on the infant's associations does indeed appear to have long-term effects on the structure of the infant's spcial network. Finally, the component relationships making up. the tnfant's network develop through a rrocess resembling d ifferenliation ou t o the mother's relationships.,. �February 20, 1886 Volurne·17, No. 19 The secrets of Uranus UB senior assists in receiving them _J ' -/~----B~~~D~A ~V~IO~C. W~EB~B~---- "It wasn't until Voyager got on tQp of Uranus that it. released all of its secrets." said Paul Steckt a senior in geology at UB. Hewasfonunate enough to he a wit.ness to the ~xci(ement at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pas- . adena, Calif. , as Voyager 2 broadcast pictures of Uranus and its moons to Eanh.

He was asked tb return to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory last rhonth to assist with receiving the data from the ·prohe as it sped by Uranu at 42,000 miles per hour. The !ummer·s work was to reprogram the computers ~ard Voyager to improve the transmission ~f photos frQJll 2 billjon milesl'"'•Y· As the data were transmitted , the student, intern assisted in lindinll needed data and providing it to th~ prmcip!ll investigators. hat was it tike tp rub elbows with W prominent scicrffiSts, including Carl Sagan of Cornell? "They did have solne <jisagreements on methods," Steck said. "It was fun to hear them discuss it." Cheers and cries of amazemen t greeted thelirst picture~ of tho moon Ariel, one of the moons'discovered by William Lassell in 1851. This moon has some mysterio~s pallerns that may have been caused by an unknown fluid that poured down a val- ley, into a canyOn and then into the noors of adjacent valleys. This lcind of detail was not revealed until tbe automated spacecraft photographed it. When this information came in, scientists tended to forget all formalities and scramble for a screen to view it, Steck said. · Because he I'(Orked with the imaging team when the pictures of the moon Miranda were being . broadcasl, Steck was able to bring home some copies of the photographs. " I was pulling pictures out of the oomputer and check.ing the exposure times," Steck said. .-Miranda, the innermost moon of Uranus discovered in ' 1948 by American astronomer Gerard P. Kniper; is ••a hybrid of the most bizarre geologic forms in the solar system," according to NASA. NASA scientists believe' that the features of this rrioon are even more bizarre than the valleys and nows of the planet Mars. the compression faults of the · · planet Mercury, and the grooved tefrain of Jupiter's satellite Ganymede. A large triangular,"chevron "that some scientists dubbed "Circus Maximus " .Jl; one of Miranda's features, something that scientists cannot explain. The close~ ups reveal an extensive network of faults and enormous canyons. A part of Miranda has a huge \Wirhng pallern that was called the "Racefraek" because of its resemblance to an auto racetrack. Other parts of the moon are marked with numerous craters like the ones on Earth's moon. V Paul Steck, UB senior, has his eyes on the stars. and planets. oyager 2 has revealed 10 new moons around Uranus, plus some smaller asteroids that orbit the planet. "11'ost track after 10, ··Steck said. "Some of the objects orbiting the planet are tO O small to be called moons. They are more like asteroids that got caught up in the orbit of Uran us. They .are not over 50 miles across and are cratered and irregular_in size.'' Some of the satellites seem to confirm a theory that they "shepherd" planetary rings. The shepherd satellites orbit the planet in the same orbit as the rings and keep a ring in place by gravitational force. The e·psilon, or outermost, ring on Uranus is believed to be kept'in a thin line by these shepherding objects. Launched in 1977, Voyager has surprised many scientists because· it was designed to explore only the planets up to Saturn, but it may even he able to broadcast pictures of Neptune, the pe><t planet after Uranus. "This is probably the best program that NASA has put together," Steck said. The success of Voyager in photographing so many planets is partly due to a unique alignment of the planets. Voyager . was able to be catapulted by the gravitational forces surrounding the planets as it passed fairly close to them. "This is a once m a lifetimeexperience,"Steck said. "The planets line up only once every 175 years. Without the alignmen t, it would take over 30 years to get to Uranus." · Steck wa_s so inspired by this experience that he would like more. "I would like to get back for Neptune," he said. The stay in California was marred by the explosion of the sp~ce shuule Challenger. in which seven crew members were killed . "When we heard the news. we all ran down to the third floor and watched the broadcast on a large projection screen." Steck said. "'No one said anything fo r a long time.

Schimpfhauser and his specializa~ i~~~~~ry~ed··~~j~~~g~".':~~i A associates compared the method by which students decide on a discipline to that by which a scientific hypothesis is generated and tested . "Initially a choice is made, similar to any hypothesis. The choice is then presumed to be tested by experience, the acquisition of new information. and the evaluation of any new data regarding the choice. If the choice is found to be wanting, it is rejected and a new hypothesis is then generated ." Factors that .contributc to this process can be.seen in some of the responses given by the students in Schimpniause'r's stud y. I n cha nging career choices stude nts also took into account the na ture of the patients encountered in the practice of ·a field. " I cha nged my mind from internal medicine to surgery at the end of my third yea r, just after finishing 12 week o f med icine," remembers one student. .. I found med icine frustrating because of the many chronic problems ~ou have to deal with. It al so seemed as of most of the patients were well advanced in years. The rounds _every day seemed endless at times.'" a ~!tc~r~u: ration in future years dealing with chronic illnesses and poor patient .compliance," agreed another student who switched into surgery from internal medicine. On the · other hand , patient condition was a positive factor for some students who ultimate!~ chose family medicane, pediatrics. and obstetrics/ gynecology. Some mentioned that one positive aspect of these fields is that their contact i usually with generally healthy peOJ>Ie . . IdealiSm and philosophical motives entered into the choice process of some students. Several entered cenain specialties in order to serve specific segments of the population . Love of children and a wish to h~lp them led to some careers in pediatrics, while the desire to upgrade the health of women led others to the fields of gynecology and obstetrics. The wish to help a particular group led to the choice of other careers as well. One black student, for example, responded. •• As a black member or society, I wanted 10 choose a division of medicine in which I could be of particular service. I found there were very few blat:k dermatologists; black ~atients prefer a black dermatologiSt. The dermatological problem in different populations often require ·different or modified treatment from another population, requiring special knowledge or skill."' More practical concerns played a pa rt in the choice of career as well. "How does one lead a family life when involved in family medicine?" asked one student realistically. Indeed, the desire for more stable work hours often led students away from such disciplines as fa. mily medicine and obstetrics and into hospital-based and surgical specialties.

" Said a radiology student, "RadiO'Iogy affords one a more •normal' lifestyle. I have other interests which I wish to pursue and I hould be able to do so as a • radiologist." One of the stronger factors influencing student career changes. however, was the nature of the contact that the tudents had with professionals within their chosen _field. Schimpfhauser found that faculty members provided positive influences if they presented interesting courses, acted in a way that studens perceived as professional and displayed concern for patients. Students also reacted both posatively and· negatively to professionals and institutions in various fields I hat they came into contact with. M any students who chose pediatrics. for example, cited the ~ositive influence that their experiences wnh Buffalo 's Children"s Hospital had on their career choices. Said one student, "I found pediatrics to stand alone in meeting my concept of medicine. The excellent pedi- · alric care that Buffalo offers no doubt influenced me greatly. It was finall)' possi ble for me to be a hurnanitanan., a scientist, and a patient advocate all at one ' time. If I had trained elsewhere.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Maybe, just maybe, the year marks , the start of a decline in high tech mania among the nation's college students, an end to rampant what's-in-itfor-me-ism, a return to humanistic and altruistic pursuits, .a move away from waffling on or ignoring political issues. Maybe. 1 Trends from the annual survey of college fr~shmen . conducted by the American Council on Education and UCLA cenainly point in those directions. According to responses gleaned from su<veys ftlled out by 192,453 students entering college last Jail (a little more than one per cent of tbe total freshman clas> of 1.66 million), interest in "engioeenng and computers, tl- " curricular wunderkinds of the past decade or so. is ~~.

Not quite, accordmg to Scott Danford, assistant vice president for University Services. He satd there will be just barely enough room: •Ifenrollment for the fall of 1993 is about the same as it was ii!Jhe fall of 1985, and ' •rfclasses are distributed pr~tty evenly between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. , and • If office space on the second floors of Talbert.

There's no !Ieason ·to 1anticipatt excep- . tiona! grOwth of the University, sornr<)llment will probably stay about th< same, he said. Even though big, new·buildings will be ·constructed, the situation'willlw ti:tht. he sajjj,. ~ore departments will be located on the Spine, but very little centrally . scheduled space will be added. Park Hall, the Social Sciences building which is scheduied to open ino~he fall , will add only two classrooms. One will seat about 40 and the other, 55. Most of the space in the Fine Ary_ Building, scheduled for complet Rf!l sometime around 1990, will be used by the departments housed there. The huge Natural Sciences and t>tathematics Building, to be completed in the early 1990s, will be twice the size of Baldy Hall , Danford said. Yet only lOper cent of the space, or 21 ,000 sq uare feet . wi ll be used for classrooms. That building will have five large classrooms holding 90 peo ple each: two small lecture halls holding 100 each: a !50capacity lectu re hall; a 250-capacity lecture hall. and a 385-capacity lecture hall. Constructing a larger at ural Sciences and Mathematics Build ing is not an option, he added. anford said he is hoping to convert offices in Talbert, Norton. D Capen back to classroom ·space. T.hese an~ are now occupied by the Educational Opportunity Program, Career Planning, Special Programs, st udent offices, and Undergraduate Academic Services (the old DUE). Classroom space. Completion of Amherst buildout won't assure plenty of room When the expansion of the SAC is · done, these student offices..,uld find a home there. Until then, there'w no place for them to go, he said. The Woldman Theatre also could be converted to classroom space and no longer be used as a theatre, Danford said. It's used for both now. . One faculty member complained that it's a shabby •heatre and a disgrace to use for pubUc events. lt's ·also a disaster as a lecture hall, Danford added , and only used as a last resort. Students have' to their laps because balance notebooks there are no tablet arms on the chaifs. The lighting is also too dim for classes. If Woldman Theatre is to be used as a lecture hall, those things need to be fixed : Edward W. Doty. vice president for finance and management, is looking into it, Danford said. ...,__The expansion of the SAC would provide a theatre that could be used for public events, ·he went on. Another p'ossibility suggested by the Quality of lnstrueuonal Space Task Force IS to design the theatre ln the Fine Arts Building with tablet arms and adequate lighting so it can double as a lecture hall, he said. qn he real space crunch will come next T fall on the Amherst Campus, Danford said. He11 know by the end ofthis month whether a plan to evenly distribute classes between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. will alleviate; the problem. The problem is that when Park Hall opens with its two small claSsrooms. there will be 180 more class sections on the Amhe rst Campus. Theoretically.there is enough Space on the campus to seat. all these sections, Danford said. The problem is that most instructors want to schedule classes in the middle of the day. If classes were spaced more evenly, there'd be enough room. To lower the peak demand time at the middle of the day, depa.rtments were asked to distribute classes more evenly between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Classes were broken down by size: less than 30 people. between 30 and 60 people. and more than 60 people, Danford explained. For every class of less than 30 that a department scheduled in a highdemand ume. it was expected to schedule a class that siZe in a low-demand time. This is not unbearable, he commented, noting that even the period from 9 to 10 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is now considered a~emand period. o put ~th into the p.rocedures, departments that did not atttmpt to evenly distribute clas es were seated dca_d last. even after departments that got thetr forms in late. The order of seating at Amherst was: • Course$ that carry five ·or six credithours. (These were seated first because they're difficult to seat, he said). • Standard three-hour courses at standard times. ·a Courses that can be blocked together and scheduled as if they're one course. For example, one course that meets from 2 to 4 :~ p.m. on Tuesday can be blocked with anotherthat meets at the same time on Thufsday . .~ ..,..on-standard courses and nonstandard times. • Departments that handed their forms in late. • Departments that didn \ distribute their courses. In each category, departments tha\ · have offices on the Amherst Campus were seated before those who have offices on Main St .. he said. Evef)'one was ~o seared of not getting the rooms they wanted thai only one department was late. Since it was a small depanment, its impact is insignificant, Danford said. Only one department dido) d istribute its schedule. That was English. n fairly large department. he said. " It's going to pose a big problem." Danford said. "It will impact not just on the faculty, but o n a large number of freshmen and sophomores because they11 have their classes !oeheduled in less desirable pla•: es."

"It was their decision not to distribute their courses." eating the department in less dcsira- T - ble spaces isn \"a punishmeni, it's a decision that the department made," he said. '' one of this was a secret or a surprise to anyone." The provost reviewed the procedures with the deans and scheduling coordinators, he said. " But if they want to make an effort to redistribute courses. we1tmake an effort to help them," Danford offered. "But it still won' be as good as ifthey bad done it on time." ' Since most· departments were very cooperative in distributing Amherst courses, it helped the situation, Danford said: He11 know by the end oft his month if the plan worked. , "If not, we11 have to back up and punt,'' he said. "There's no reason to be pessimistic." I 0 nMain St., space will i>e.tight, but it will be nothing compa.-e;( to the situation at Amherst, Danford said. This . procedure for seating classes does not apply to the Main St. Campus. • In Parker Hall. all the centrally scheduled clas rooms are off-line and oniy being used as an emergency back-up, be said.

'In related maners: • A computer database is being developed to assist. in the assignment of rooms, Danford said. ow. a cumber· some and awkward sy tern with index cards and a filing cabinet is used.

WEBB he Western ew York Economic Development Corporation has earmarked up to $5 miUion to support a proposed proJeCt to establish a national eanhquake research center here. The funding represenLS one year in matching funds for a $50 million project that is contingent on the approval of a grant of S25 million from the ational Science Foundation (NSF). The S5 million pledge represents a dollar-for-dollar matching grant for the S5 million a year from NSF. According to NSF, the project is for establishing the country's first federally funded earthquake engmeering research center to help minimize loss of life and property due to such natural disasters. William Donohue, director of the Western ew York Development Corporation, confirmed that the State agency is committed to supporting the research center here. The University is competing with several universities across the country for the project, and announcement of the award should be made this summer, bet~een T July I and October I. The local proposal is the joint effort of a consortium of institutions consisting of Cornell. Columbia, the University of Missouri. the Lamont-Doherty Geolojlical Observatory in Palasades ( . Y.). Cny College of New York. Lehigh University, and Princeton University in addition to UB. "The research unit would be centered in Buffalo, but researchers from all over the country would carry out projects;· said Robert L. Ketter, Ph.D., leading professor of engineering and applied sciences and director of the Earthquake Engineering and Systems Dynamics Research Center here. "The new center would deal with the problems of lifelines, including communications lines, power lines, and trans~ portation lines, and the problems of the structural behavior of buildings," Ketter noted . " We've already brought in a number of people to work on earthquake research," he said. The University has aS 1.5 million earthquake simulatpr. The simulator is used to imitate the actions of earthquakes for research by members of the earthquake engineering research · center. an inte~nally-funded research facility, and it is available to other researchers both academic and industrial. · T he NSF-funded center also would deal with research into other types of destruction. including firestorms, torna does, hurricanes. and explosions. "State & NSF would co-fund major earthquake facility if we are successful II The economic bc!nefits to the area would be very great, Ketter said . "Most companies would be looking for S I million a year for expansion. but here we are seeking $10 million a year," he said. As with other national research centers in other parts <>f the country, the earthquake center could result in the creation of "spin-off" enterprises, including creation of new businesses and expansion of existing ones. An example would be businesses that would make earthquakeresistant products. These businesses would be able to test products on U B's shaking table and have researchers and technicians available to them from the University. Support for establishing the center at UB has come from a number of researchers, including those at Clemson University (S.C.), Rice University. Re~­ selaer Polytechnic Institute, and the Uruversity of Alaska. · According to Ketter, earthquakes in the eastern part of the United States are different from earthquakes in the West. They are not as common in the East, but they can be destructive over a wider area. Examples are the 1886 Charleston, S.C., earthquake and the 1811 New Madrid earthqua • w~ich caused very extenstve damage over wide areas in the East. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1971 San Fernando earthquake caused damage in much smaller areas.

The federal government expects U8 tr, lo,an about $2 million. from collec.tioos. onner ~ he wasn't familiar with a fede ral proposal to create a new, college-run program of unsubsidized loans with repayments contingent on a student's future income. · The plan calls for undergraduates to be able •to borrow between $2,500 and S4,500. Graduate students would be allowed up to S 10,000 year. No one would have to pay back niore than.l5 per cent of his or her annual inconle in later years, but each individual eventually. would have to retire his or her whole debt, no matter how long that tllces. In his opinion, Coriner said, the p[an seems very loose.·While it might be possible to speculate on a graduate student's future im:ome, that would. be difficult to do with a freshman. He questioned what would happen .if the student dropped out of schoot'or did not graduate. Conner encouraged students to watch the newspapers for developments on !be financial ai<L issue and tQ write to their congressmen voicing their support for financial ·aid. 0 C a oother program targeted for cuts is the College Work-Study Program. Conner hopes Congress will override !bose cuts. "Tb.e congressmen have always favored the Work-Study Program," he said. "I foresee a fight to maintain it." Conner pointed out that many congmsmen held a work-study job while they were undergraduate or graduate students. They lmow it's not a giveaway program and that it affords students work' experience.. At U 8 , about 1,300 students out of the 25,000 total have work-~tudy jobs. That A IRS to join State in denying refunds to loan defaulters he federal government, following New York State's lead, will withhold tax refunds from peo-ple who have defaulted on their student loans, said Cheryl Kishbaugh, coordinator of Guaranteed Student Loans at U8. Though not publiGized much, New . York State's program has been going on for a year, she said. In this day and age wtien more and more financial aid is being taken away, Ki~bbaugh said she is glad for the crackdown. Legislators often point to the high default rate in the loan programs as a reason to cut them. If payment is enforced, the~e ·~iJI ;ontinue to be a future for finaoctalrud, she predicted. In the New York State program, when a person hasn' made payments on his or her Guaranteed Student Loan or contacted the bank that loaned the money in T a year, the bank contacts the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation. That corporation monitors the pro-gram in this State, she explained, The loans are guaranteed by the federal government. The corporation tries to make sure the bank has done everytbing.it can to let the borrower know he or she-is in danger of default. Then the corporation buys the loan from the bank. Obtaining payment from the borrower becomes a matter between the corpo ra~ lion and the borrower, Kishbaugh said. The University is involved only because it ftlls out a form that says the student is no longer in school. (Payment on the loans does not stan until after the student has left school.) The corporation ·then releases to the State the names of people considered to l!e in default. Until the loan .is paid, the State will keep withholding a person's tax refund each year, she said. However, if some sort of ~tisfactory arrangements for payment are made, the tax ·refund will not be withheld, she noted . New York State is one of the few states . that withholds tax refund s. he State started its program because T until the federal government comes through with its guaranteed payment on a defaulted loan, the State, in the forrn of the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, bears the brunt., Kishbaugh said. It also looks bad for a stale to have a high default rate. In the federal program, !be Education Department bas referred the names of 657,894 student loan defaulters from across !be country to the I.R.S., according to an article in Tht Chronicle of Higher £ducat ion. Letters were sent to 790,000 defaulters in August, warning them that if they failed to begin repayments in 60 days the I.R.S. would withhold any federal tax refunds they are due t!lis year. About 20,900 responded, sending a total of S7.8 million . Those who failed to respond owe a total of S1.3 biltion on National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) and Guaranteed Student Loans. The Education Depanment expects the I.R .S. tb withhold SIOO million this year. About60 percent of the defaulters whose names were turned over to the I.R.S. received tax refunds in 1984. Collecting money owed on !be NDSL will hclp.U8 <lireclly, Kishbaugh noted. As former U8'studeots repay their loans the money is loaned to other U 8 students: The more that is collected, the more U8 can lend. 0 . �,._,11,1, . . . . 17, No. 11 FES dean questions reported failure rate By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO he25 percent failure rateofUB graduates reported on the Buf'falo Public Schools' teacher's examination 64is quite simply . Oatly contradicted" by the' University's more compte\e measures on recent teacher education minors, said Hugh G. Petrie, dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies. On a similar, even slightly more difficult test, 95 per cent of recent ,U B gradu.. ates passed . "That's much higher than the 75 per cent who passed the Buffalo test," he noted. "The numbers.iust don' matc)l." Buffalo uses the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPsn. a literacy aptitude, not achievement. test. Last year, UB graduates were required for the fi..St time to take the National . Teacher Exam (NTE), published by the • Educational Testing Service which-also produces the PPST. . · · The communications skills and mathem;llics sections of the NTE repeat the lcinds. of mat~als contained in the PPST, he said.1 11u ~ince this is a test for those finishing, rather than beginning, • teacher education, the material in the NTE is presumably at a higher level than that in the PPST. ...The major anomaly in this whole issue is that the first batch of U B graduates to take the NTE passed at the 95 per cent rate, rather than the ~r cent rate of passing the PPST on the Buffalo exam," Petrie wrote in a memo to the president and provost. T The figures are "quite at odds with the Buffalo test results, especially in light of the fact that the NTE i•, if anything. slightly more advanced than the PPST, but covers the same ground," Petrie oaid. He also pointed out that a 20 to 25 per cent failure rate on the PPS'r is right at the nation~verage. The PPST i!l only part of the Buffalo exam. Buffalo also requires an interview and a subject matter test, and an applicant may bave failed any one of the three parts, Petrie said. A nother problem, he said, is that he has little information on those claiming to be UB graduates who took the' Buffalo lest. These people may never have gone through UB's teacher training miDDr , program (an education undergraduate degree hasn' been offered here since 1975}. . A person can get State teaching certifiqotion by graduating from an approved program, suZb as UB's minor program, Petrie explained. Or a student can be certified through a transcript evaluation that shows the student bas taken the minimally required courses, not necessarily 0 at a single institution. "Currently, about 50 percent of ceniflcalions arc via the t.ra.nscript evaluation route," he wrote. "Thus, 50 per cent (or more) of .the 'UB grads' who took the Buffalo test may never have been in our · teacher education m.i nor program. and thus not subject to any UB teacher quality control at all.

In addition. the number of UB graduates who took the test far exceeds the number who have gooe through the teacher program in the last five years, Petrie noted. There were 376 UB graduates reported to have taken the test, but only l06 UB graduates have been recommended for certification through UB's · teacher education minor since 1979-80.

Sociology texts mirror this allitude by ·gazing at the world through the lens of 'science," presenting reality as a " photogra phic image of what now exists." forgetting to pro be for future possi bilities. the associate professor of sociology affi rms. Take. for instance, the age-OIQ argument about the inevitability of ineq uality in a society. Because there is no \.. ~mpiricaJ evidence tQ show that a society has yet existed withov.t inequaJity, are · sociologists justified in assuming that one never could. or in creati ng a P.icture of rea lity that excludes that posstbility? Agger has given considerable thought to such issues and. in fact, is so concerned about the way his d iscipli ne is evolving th ~ has examined more than 20 introductory sociology te< tbooks in an effort to expose what he calls "false assumptions .. in the field that dislort the views of o;_;tudcnts and academicians alike. peaking from the perspective of a man who has taught introductory ;ociology off and on lor almost ten years. Agger believes that the texts arc .. fundamentally continuous" with rcM:arch published in the ficld"sjournals, research , he contends. that concentrates on objectively describing the world but fails to take the description "one step further by asking what could be." Because the texts subscribe to the false assumption that sociology is a sciencein the way. for example, that physics is considered a science - they contain .. no moral or philosophical pronouncements ... preferring to leave such valueladen mailers to philosophers or theologians. Agger, for one. heartily disagrees with this stance and argues that by trying to transform the discipline into a science that validates.oonly what can be proved. sociologists lose sight of their role in helping people to better understand the worl<j in which they live. " You can' understand the present without understanding the possible conneclions. evolutions or revolut io ns between the present and the future," he maintains . .. How can students understand what to hope for if they think no other possibilities exist?" Treating sociology as a science reinforces fatalism. he contin ues. tions and to think eritic:ally iDStead of jUSI adaptiD& is especially important now. says Ag:r, durill~ the pnsent conservative trail! in American history where the achicvmoent of yuppie status is the driving force in maoy youog lives. He also conteods that people woufdn' feel so powerlesa or turned-off to politics-in the broad sc:nse of the word-if they thoughtehange was possible ortbat other possibilities exist. Agger, co-author of S«illl Problmu Through Conflict llnd O.dn- and author of Wrmm MarxUm: An /mroduction. feels tl\lv in this regard.

Yes. submits a UB sociologist. As sociologists uy to infuse their discipline with the objective rigor of the natu~ ral scie nces, ·a nd as they follow the na tio n's more conservative swing away from matters of social concern and criticism, they increasi~y portray the .,..arid and its inhabitants m static terms. They ignore the fact that while the universe may be g<>verned l>Ynatural laws. no such forces control the i maginations ~or wills of men and women. Prof. Ben Agger pro- S A C:other false assumption guiding American sociologists is based on the A~ian theory of "truth in balance." Wliit follows from this is the problematic notion that .. reasonable or rcaJistic people are not extreme or extremist, but are more relativistic and understand that all philosophical religious and political teachings are partly true and partly false." This middle-of-the-road stance concerns Agger because he believes it reinforces temperance while disqualifying what might be considered radical thought. Believing that· truth is somewhere on middle ground is safe, he points out, because "you .don' offend." But the downside of this stance is rhat. inadvertently or not. sociologists " perpetuate what exists_ "Students walk out of introductory sociology thinking that you hope for too much; you try to n:form some smalltrungs piece by piece, but you can' ask the deeper questions: Is tbis really ~.~!'we should be doing'! Is this all there can' Urging students to ask the hard ques- till another questipnable ~rea in the.• discipline is' its pnsentation or a "subtext"whicli advoCates a middle class concept of the' family with the man as its head. From Agger's perspeetive, t.he tei'l& • ".preach an old-fashioned ""'rality aboUt the J ntegrity of the traditional partriarchal family." But the problem is that many peopled on' trt U> this mold, choosing, for one reason or a.nolher. an alternate lifestyle. he it single parenthood or . homosexuality. · Writing new texts is not the way to correet lhue false assumptiolls, he assertS. Instead. sociologists mllit begin to "re-think-all kinds aod forms of our intellectual dally lives." If sociology must be treated as a ·scien~ tben Aucr wants it to·be a more: in terdisciplinary-oriented and critical science, not only ca pable of showing reality as it now is. but "figuring out how we might move from what is today t o what might he tomorrow.

Also; in this conscrvatiW: era, Agger notes that it is easier for the universities and pani<:ularly the social sciences to "abdicate their responsibility to ask the hard philosoprucal and political questions" because it's believed "the timt isn' righL" . Though he sees this as a "deadly crippling issue." which puts a shroud of ntegitimacy over social criticism, Agzcr sees no other choice but to forge ahead and , take the ris". ..To takC a deviant critical position now involves risk. but it we don't. we contribute to the passivity and false consciousness of our students, .. he contends. 0 S Bunn invites faculty· to join new college By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO nvitations are going out to all faculty members to become senior members of the developing undergraduate college, according to James Bunn, vice provost for undergraduate education. The plan is to have 30 or 40 senior members chosen during the spring semester. Their Lask is to design , plan and teach the new curriculum of the undergraduate college, Bunn said. About 30 will be chosen from the ArtS and Sciences and 10 will come from the rest of the University. "Normally we're lool<ing at ten ured professors," Buon said. "But assistant pr!'fessors arc invited to apply if they feel I they have a special committmc:nt to or talent for undergraduate education." Tenured faculty are sought because they have the experience to make them .. senior members, .. he noted . Also, he wants to separate the appoimmcnts from the complications of the tenure process. Those who would like to be senior members must have demon strated their talents in undergraduate education in the past and have an interest in the future, he said . They should al o be active in research, not just teaching. Bunn said he hopes to ha..., the group of senior members assembled by the first week in April so it can start planning over the summer. Senior members are asked to sign up for a three-year term. After the group of about 40 is selected this year. 10 to 15 members will be selected next year and a similar number the year after, he . explained . That means that after three yoars. the college will have a steady group of about 60 senior members with staggered terms. T his semester, the senior members will he chosen by the executive council of the college, whlth is/also the Administrative Council of the Arts and Sciences (ACAS). It is composed of Bunn, the three deans of the Arts and Sciences, and the vice provost for grad uate education. Suca:eding groups will be selected by the senior members themsel...,.. In another development, Bunn said it is hoped tbat three endowed professorshi~ will be in' place by April I. The positions would be. funded by a presidential endowment.. . The three people chosen for these positions would be selected from the group of . senior members, he said. Their task will be to lead the design of the common experience courses (for example, a history of idea.< sequence). • The University is also trying to provide some sort of scholarly . incentives for other senior members, Bunn said . These might he things such as travel expenses to scholarly conferences. 0 �February 13, 11118 Volume 17, No. 19 _...

She 'brought three lemons to the "Anyone Can Juggle" workshop be<:ause she could not find any tenni~. Tom and Sharon Sheeliiii'iWere there because they had always wanted to learn to juggle, and a studcnt-mallicoan wanted to pick up a few more tricks for hiS act. " Most of the people come here because it is something they always wanted to learn how to do," according to Sam Wildofsky 1 the Life Workshop instructor. "I have wanted to learn since I was a kid." Tom Sheehan said . "I just never got around to it." Sharon Sheehan had never juggled either, but they were going to sew up sorne bean bags and practice at home. Chuck Corby, a freshman English major, had a different reason to learn. "I learned to use it in my act, • he said. ~ Corby is a magician who ca ers to children and charities, performing at area ospitals and doing panics. · "It's a good part of the act. When I do a trick with balls I like to show them that the balls are real," Corby said. "Juggling the balls seems to convince them." Wildofsky has tau$ht the workshop before and said that most partietpanu just want to learn the basic three-ball or bag "cascade." But the people at this workshop were more worried about collecting the balls or bean bag sacks after they missed a catch. · "Bags are much easier because they don' roll away or break anything when you mess up," be j said. "I saw a juggler on television aod wanted to learn, so I taught myself," Wildofsky said. A member of the UB Juggling Oub, he has juggled eggs, bowling balls, tennis rackeu, and even machetes. The UB Juggling Club is funded by the Student AssociatiOn and provides free entertainment for clubs and organi1 ations that request it. They also do six to 12 workshops a year in the dormitories. . Wildofsky can also juggle clubs, which are similar to bowling pim in shape but much lighter and specifically dcs1gned for juggling. He bas tennis balls. bean bags, juggling balls (wh1ch glow in the dark), and clubs for those who are interested. "Clubs are more versatile than balls or bags," he said. Bags arc easier to catch, though, because they conJorm to your hand, Wildofsky noted. AU jugglers, first-rimers and expert, arc encoutaged to attend the workshop. Wildofsky is prepared to teach beginners or help out the JUgglers who just want to learn a few trickr, such as juggling behind the back or between tbe legs. He taught. Corby 'how to •pass" balls wilb a partner. Wildofsky, wbo will conduct juggling workshops on Feb. 19 and 26 in Alumni Arena, helped the participants through the hardest part. "The toughest part for beginners is getting down the coordination and concentration." he said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

D.D.S., M.P.H .. dean of U B's School of Healtli Related Professions. has an nounced that he intends to resign some time this summer from the administrative position he has held for more than six years. .. 1 saw <.tn opportunity fo bring my experience to the School." Sultz said, explaining why he took on the duties of dean in 1979. " I had been working in the UB Schodl of Medicine for 16. 17 years. primarily in the planning and evaluation of health care systems. I was impressed with the increasing role of the allied health disciplines in health care. As dean. I felt I could ~road'Cn the in'v olvement by HRP faculty and students in US's Health Sciences Ce nter. and improve the status of tt\e School by increasing its graduate research acti vity ." . He believe:- he ha s accomptisl~d some of his goals. But he also believes that after several years a dean begins to lose his ' effectiveness. Dean Sul!z.said I¥ has had t~ say no to too many peonJe'R>o many times. ·He is resigning. he said. because·· ... a fresh ncw"dean who can excite the faculty and build on the Qudget stability that now exists will move the School farther ahead than I could if I carried on." Dean Sultzsaid that H R Pis one of the most difficult schools to g,overn because it comprises diver.Se departments with their own disCiplines and "a faculty that Jacks the overriding sense of a common mission. · "After seven years. there are sti ll faculty here that cling to the idea that the dean is an administrative convenience to a set .of autOnomous departments."" P rovost Wiiliam Greini'r said-that the HRP facu lt y, along with others not Yet appointed to a committee. will draft a miss ion s tatement for the School before he selects a search committee for a new dean . Greiner said now is an exce llent opportunity for H RP to examine its past, present. and -future. Recalling that HRP celebrated its 20th anniversary this past fall, he comm~nted that HR P is a relafively yo ung school at UB and that allied health is only now maturing as a field. Surprised at Sultz's intentiOn to resign. ' the Provost c redited the dean with a great sense of humor, which Greiner said an administrator needs. and with setting a high set of standards for the School. Dean Sultz was graduated in 1947 from the UB School of Dentistry. He practU:ed , dentistry befor~ co mpleting requirement.s in 1962 for his master·s degree in public health at Colum bia University. That same year. the Buffalo native ·became a professor here. . A respected epidemiologj~. Sultz has received over $4.5 milliOn in research grants.

The council\ plan request s 34,000 ~quare feet total. but th e $5 million earmarked for the cxpam.ion would cover ' o n!) 25.000 ~quare feet. There\ no guar antee the add1tional 9.000 square feet will be funded . The council recommended that 20.000 ~ quare feet. rather than II ,OOOsquarc feet a~ had been origmall y planned. be u:,ed for a student organitat10 nal activities complex. with1n the extensiOn. Membl.'r ~ fcarl.'d that the original expansion proposal \\ ould be ··relatively inadequate .·· Rill Kachio fr. council chair. ~ <.tid that tht:rc I' "n u way we could fit all the sen ll'e" \\ C nl.'t:d 111 11.000 feet." The cnum.:d \ plan will be revieWed by Jame ~ Gruber. director of student union s. and ~uhmmcd to Dean of Stu· dent Affair~ Anthony Loremetti. Gruber !<laid he had "no idea''how the plan would he recei ved or when the administration would ;:1et on the reco mmendation. The expansion is part of President Ste ven S:.~mple'~ minimal build-out T progr~m . l:,Pe proposal includes a multi-purpose room. a conference theatre. the activities complex and three or more reservation room s. "We arc going to ·go for it' and see what develops." Gruber said . The council expects to get planning approval this year and hopes the project will be complete by 1989. The studen t complex is expected to hou~c the studen t governments and many oth er .student organi1ations- including Suh Board I, Inc., University UniOn Activities Board. publications, and other club~ and services. The council believes that this repre~ents the best current option for the development of a "centralited" ~tudent union . A change in the bus loop, making SAC a drop-off and picli-up location for buses to and from the Ellicott Complex. would shift the majority of students to the area and create a new meeting place. members believe. ..To complement the plan it would be necessary to make a change in the loop." Kachioff admitted . "Students can't be running around all over the Univers ity to get dinner and sec a movie." Locating the student clubs and organi7Ations in the same building ··constitutes the identity, unity , and core of studentbased activities and programs:· Gruber stated . The planned multi-purpose room at 5.~00 square feet is s lightly largerthan the old Fillmore Room in Squire Hall. Squire Hall on the Main Street Campus served as the student union until 1982. Partitions will enable the room to be used in sections and provide for flexible usage . "The atmosphere of the room should be warm, not like a gymnasium," according to Gruber. "It should have high ceilings, functiof!al facilities. and be versatile for large and small meetings. •· The existing multi-purpose room could be turned overto FSA and easily~ converted into a food service facility with a Rathskeller and serve as an overflow eating and dining area, the proposal states. A fully functional conference theatre, which could seat 400 people and accommodate movies. plays. concerts, and lectures. was also included in the recommendation. "The location of this facility in SAC is integral to both the availability and the delivery of programs centralized in the center. .. G ruber said . Members pointed out that this would not be a duplication of Wold man Theatre because Woldman·s acoustics are .. terrible"and because Woldmancpuld be utilized better as classroom space. The conference rooms are planned. members said , because most of the student organizations will be located there and the need for conference space. will increase. Cl.J,w:tent Association President Bob J fleary pushed for the additional 9.000 square feet in the student organizational activities complex and is still worried about "moving just some of the clubs. "If they arc calling this a minimal build-out. ·1 think 20,000 square feet is necessary; it is the minimum·." Hc<'lry said. " It doesn' even include all the clubs in Harriman Hall, and the clubs over there belong here." '"Once we move we have to put all our chips in one basket, " Kac)lioff agreed. fleary also suggested that the existing lobby in the s.eco nd Ooor of SAC be studied to determine if alternate uses are available and called for a "receiving lobby" near the bus loop if that is a feasible option. Kachioff said that the council position is to "take what we can get and push for more." He said that there was a feeling among the council members that if they didn't act quickly and utilize the S5 million the money would trickle down to another :Jtc:a. "We can safely assume that (students) will be giving up Talbert," Kacbioff said. "This plan will consolidate and unify s~udents. " . The proposed Parcel B mall. which may be located between the University Bookstore and Clemens Hall, may have future implications regarding the proposal for SAC expansion. Early plans for the mall have suggested cinemas, stores. and public restaurants be constTucted. I" o ther council action. WRUB, the student operated radio station. was allocated space in SAC to operate. because expenstve phone lines forced the station to discontinue operations in Harriman Hall. The move is temporary and a relocation to the Ellicott Comple,x is being studied. 0 William Borodacz, Polish Collection curator, killed on Thruway r.

Dando has already traveled all over New York State and is plannmg to add Cleveland and Detroit to hb li~t. Dando added I hal he does nol believe there will be more pressure to win now than there was before. "When one takes a coaching job anywhere. there are. always pressures. Nol only from the school. bul also from oneself. I want to be a winner. and I wam as much as a nyone else to have a successful program here." He also cited next season's schedule which in~udes Division II powerhouse Towson State of Maryland as one oft he factors which will help make U B football "t he Oagship of New York ." Baskc1ball Coach Bauani said his recruiting will also benefit from the change in his duties. "Right now, we are much further along in our recruiting than ever before.'' he reported. In basketball. not only will 1he head coach be able to devote all of his lime lo his team. but one full-time assistant coach has also been hired . "Coach Rich Jacob will help this program tremendously." said Bazzani. Bau.ani also agreect with Dando ttiat the pressures will come not so much from the administration as from himself. However, Bazzani commented that .. it is not just because t do not have to teach classes that we will win m ore games. "This move wi ll defin itely help us. lt is a s1ep toward s bcner at hleticnt U B. It is also the fu lfillme nt of a promise I was made when I was pircd." he added.

But no b1g-city paper ever had campus editors who worked crazy hours and lived on submarine sandwic hes and wrote all the headlines for a S400 stipend . We felt we were ca rrying the banner of I he edilors who founded the paper in 1950. chronicling the cultural erup1ions of I he 1960s and I he sludcnt riots of 1970. When we gradualed. our volumes of ye llowed clippings took their place in the paper's morgue. Now, however. the Spectrum is $ 100.000 in debt . fending off credilors and borrowing from future receipts just 10 pay off old prin1ing bills. And when I tried to find out why. some of the editors dodged my phone calls. Richard Gunn, the paper's business manager. finally 1old me I he depressing tale. One of his predecessors somt;,how forgo! to bill the papers deblors. (The paper lost more than S IOO.OOO in 1981 and 1982.) Another former slaffcr raised his own salary by S 120 a week and left town after this was discovered. And emergency bailouts by I he siUdent government had failed to put the paper in the black .

The most recc:nt holder of the editor-in-chicrs job. the coveted office to which I was once elected was forced to resign after local authorites brought drug charges against him. Of course, chaos is routine at a stuc:;;!tcnt newspaper. where each year a new class comes in and tries to figure out how to run the show. But I still had trouble underslanding the SfNclrum S financial plight. In my day, with nearly 20.000 copies given away on campus, it was a marketing gold mine for what was then the pre- Yuppie market. packed with ads for stereos and ski eq uipmen t. t turns out. though, that the i.iscal collapse has its roots in my era. It was then that I he paper. seeking more editorial freed o m , changed from a subsidized venture to an independent corporation. We didn't want to be financially dependent on the college administration or the student governmen!. both of which we frequently criticized. Since advertising couldn't cover all our bills. we agreed to contract with the student government to provide a certain number of issues. But the next generation of editors, seeki ng sti ll more fr<edom. dro pped this s ubscript ion fee without figunng out how to replace the S30.000 it provided . Such problems may be endemic 10 college journalism. At the Michigan Dai~r. 1he respected University of Michigan paper that s pawned such activists as Tom Hayden, circulation has plunged and the editor.; now face the seco nd highest deficit in recent years. I may be blinded by nostalgia. but I think a paper like the Spectrum is important no1 only to lhe 15.000 undergraduates on campus. but to I tants if not for the S{Wrtrum. The uni· versity has no journalism program. so .lolunteering for the paper was the only way to find out whether one could actually make a living at this sort of thing. For me, working on the paper came at a time when I was 'moving from an exclusive preoccupation wilh . bas_kelball and girls to oocas1onaly consadenng other matters, sl,I.Ch as nuclear war.

So was Jarvis. He and his ... crew mates were the first to prove that the exploration of space. as with the exploration of all other frontlers before it. is a high risk venture. As an engineer. who understood perhaps better than most the complexity of the me-=hanical system in which he was riding, Jarvis most certainly would have known the risk . Yet in the interest of adventure and advancing science. he did it anyway. His specific mission: to test ways to improve the space transport system itself so that others might more easily follow.

This new center joins se.ve n others named in the fall . Each receives between S60.000 and $100,000 anntlall~ overthree years to allow it to become self-sufficient; then each is expected to bring in several times as much funding. The latest center emerged from two similar proposals which had been submitted . Rather than fund two competing units. th,r proposals were merged mto this one center. said Donald W.

Participants in the Center for Electronic and Electro-optiC Materials come from the fields of physics. chemical engin~ering, and electrical and computer engineering, as well as chemistry . .Most centers of this nature don't have chellists. 4 he said. "It gives a broader perspective on an overall topic." George said. The formal structure of a research center forces an · assemblage of people that might not happen naturally at this University where Chemistry is located on the Main Street Campus and the other participant ar-e at Amherst~ he noted. "It gives us m6tivauon, .. Anderson. added . T ne funding i> another· advantage. Anderso n aid. It provides money for travel to contact sponsors and money to pay students needed to gather preliminary data needed to develop support fr~m outside. It enables reseachers to bring in speakers and consultants from different fields. The structur< also provides outside recognition and suppon - it gives the center a competitive edge. George said. For instance, It may help in getting grants for expensive ettuipment. Right now. about 30 per cent of. the budget goes for equipment , he pointed out. That's being used as seed money to get lar~er equipment. Equ1pment includes high-vacuum systems for metallo-organic chem~cal vapor deposition and liquid pha.;e epitaxy. There's also sophisticated equipment for various types of electrical and optical measurements, Ander'son explained.

"This new degree is de>i$ned to bridge the gap between enginecnng and theoretical physic~. giving the graduate more ph ysics than can be obtained from an engineering degree," nccording to James H. Bunn. vice provost for undergraduate ed ucation : The joint degre-e program emphasizes elec tronics and is offered through both the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Faculty of a1ural Sciences and Mathematics. Faculty coordinators arc Jonathan F. Reichert. Ph.D., associate professor of physics and astronomy, and Dennis Malone. Ph.D .. professo r of electrical and computer engineering. Studenl> will be prepared for careers in applied physics. physical electronics, solid state electromcs. electrical metrology (the stud y of measurements). laser physics. and related fields. The program gives a combination oft he studyo( ph ysical principles of modern .electronics and training in app lied electrical measure- A ments, electrical design and instrumentation. and electronics. According to Reichert, the two fields of electrical engineering and physics are related. so the combination of the two fields of study is harmonious. "The student may be interested in both fields. He or she may have real knowledge and intereJ,t in electrical engineering. but may be imerested in the way the components work based on the fundamentals of physics." he said. "'Of course. the student of engineering physics has to give up something a1 each end. He or she may have less experience with applied electronics and less statistics and thermodynamics in physics. But the student gains on each end as well. The gradua te in the engineering physics area will have the knowledge of electrical circuit design ana the thcorctjcal basis for how the circuit work s. Most electrical engineers don't know quantum mechanics:· Reich ert indicated. The student may want to explore th e composition of microchips, for inslancc, and the theoretical basis for how they work found in quantum physics . In certain areas. the engineering physics major may have more options such as applted physics and physical electronics. accordmg to Reichert. The engineering physics major could work on developing processes for improving microchips. Reichert said ~me physics graduate is already working on failure rates in microchips ... This graduate is studying diffusion effects in microchips as well as other subtle problems," he said. adding that an engineering physics student would also be prepared for that ~ind of job. • he degree will be suitable Cit her for the student who wants to earn a master's or for someone who will be seeking a job on graduation ... The engineering physics degree will give the student a different set of tools than an electrical engineering degree, preparing him or her for a number of engineering jobs in materials develo pment. clcctricaJ optical systems~ circuit development. materials science. or anything thai a corporation would hire a physics major for," Reichert added. ... It may be easier for the stude nt in this field to gel a job than a student with a standard physics degree, which tends to be a startingdcgrecfor graduate work . In physics. we provide the basic tools that can be applied to systems," he said. T ~on the other hand. in elec1rical engineering. a semiconductor is simply pulled out of a hat. The student is more concerned with the design principles than the physics problems." he said. The engineering physics program would enable the Mudent to combine the two. Four semesters are required in techn ical areas ouLSide elcctncal engineering and physical elcctron.ics. The courses are in thermal and sta t istical physics , mechanical engineering, applied mcchanicst and fluid mechanics. There is also room for technical electives in addition to . required non-technical electives. The graduate could thus be prepared ' for graduate-level study in Ouid mechanics or mechanical engineering in addition to electrical engineering, depending on his or her interest. according tO" Reichert. A few graduates hav.. studied the same basic courses under the special major progr3lll, b•t the engineering physics program w:ls approved as a formal degree program thi fall . "It is a demandingst<luence," Reichert said.

He ex plained the nebulous ierm of .. frictional savings .., .. Frictional savings" are caused bel:ause not every position at U B is fille~ all the time, he said . If SO!llebody resigns. there are elaborate and time-consUming procedu res th at must be followed before the position ca n ·be refilled. . ,. While the positions are vaCant,. the University is saving money on the salaries; these savi nt\S are called "frictional savings." In anticipation of su~h vacan~ies, the State Division of Budget (DOB) has bu ilt a savi ngs factor into.the budget. UB ask"l! for so111e relief from this "frictio nal savings"· factor, so it could have more mo ney to spend. but the gover- nor's budget makes it worse. Greiner siid. · . The problem is that in order to meet the amo unt the DOB has' recbmmended -that U B save, the U niversity will have to . keep lines idle that norma lly wou ld be filled. . " DOB ca n purport to be funding us at o ne level when they're really fund ing us a t another . ~ · G reiner said. "The DOB reports the gross a mount they're givi ng us to the press, but they're riot s~bl ic about reporting this savings factor. "They put it in the top drawer and take it out of the bottom.~ Another sore point in this budget conce rns UB 's strulql!e for equity with other SUNY health sc1ence centers. Unlike the other three ce nters. U B does not run its own teaching hospi tals. It receives lease income to help the arfiliat~d hospitals, and clinical teachers arc usually sup ported by the hospitals. Greiner said. U B wants funding for its program in proportion to what the other cen ters get. But the DOB can' see the difference between funding t~aching and funding health care, he said, and won' provi~e the money. "So we11 go to the fegislature every year until we no longer'*have to make a · case for equitable treatment," he said . If the budget proposed by the governor becomes the final budget, a major proqlem will occur with personal services, Greiner said. The DOB has cut personal service-regular funds bel:ause, based on what was spent last year, it says Ull doesn' need as much . But the rwon UB spent less was because of the large nu mber 'of early retirements, he said. This additional cut ' in funding could mean a reduction of another 20 to 40 lines. In addition,. there 's still another JOUmber loom ing in the background: 228 lines that are to be cut syste m-wid e in .. addition to the UB e<~ts. t.he pro vost noted , . But SUNY hasn't been singled out. All accounts (except perso nal services) for all agenties were chopped, h.e no ted. Last yea r, th~ D.OB f UI temporary services . " It's our belief tbat this i si mply DOD's attempt to fit requests with revenues," Greiner said . S o if the DOB is just going to slash every budget request, why not just pad what you as k for? UB is given targets by SUNY a nd this campus must work within that framewo rk , Greiner explained. In turn. SUNY works within a set of deals it has made with the DOB. A nother reason for not asking for unrealistic amounts is that it will demoralize DOB. he said. "We may not love them. but they are employees. and they expect us to play within the rules.~ he said. Not everything can be blamed on the DOB. For instance. UB has been Biven more for ut ilities in the past than 1t has spent bel:ause the campus has s~v¢ money. Lhrough energy conserval10f4 Greiner ·ex plained. But that utility account will now be cut back. ."We're upset they took it out ," Greiner said. "Perhaps good management isn' rewarded .~ ., But it was SUNY that told UB to budgtJ., for a decrease ia that area. lie noted. . . This version of the budget, prepared by the DOB for the governor, still must be app roved by the State Legislature. So on the matter of fric tional savings, "clearly there will be a SUNY appeal to the Legislat ure, ~Greiner said.·"The DOB knows thk"' . He theorized that some of the cuts by the DOB may be caused by their loss of day-to-<lay control over spending due to the recent flexibility legiolatidn. In the ~ast . the DOB coufd start with a $155 million appropriati.on for . UB. knowing that through its con trols over spe nding, it t:ould limit spendi ng to only $146 million: Greiner said . ~ " I was told very frankly last yoar by a DOB exa miner. ' We can't nickel and diine you during the year [anymore]. so we11 get you up front,' " the provoS1 stated . But there's no ra ncor with the DOB. ·:The people at DOB know th is .n ot a good budget," he said. "They're apologetic. They probably won' be upset if most of this is restored." G reiner said what is rea lly needed is a stable SUNY budget for five years. T hat way. the Unlversitycould use its new flexibility and make so me significant reallocation choices. if 0 n 3nother topic. the provost and facult y seemed to reach consensus on the issue of sabbatical leave. The procedural change of having (o now include a vita _with the applicatjon is what got the issue started. according to Barbara Bono, assistant professor of English aod a 11)cmber of tlie Senate's · Committee on Faculty Tenure and Privileges that examined the issue. Sabbatical should be used for faculty de"l'loplll':nt, not as a reward for pre,vio~ work. she said. Greiner said if the vita revealed a facu lty member hadn' done much for ~vera I years, but the dean recommended the request be approved becau~e it would be a good way to reawaken the mstructor, the provost would approve the request. He noted that sabbaticals in'Ust be seen in the context o f the person applying for them. A lawyer shouldn' be granted a bogus sabbatical to do rcse¥ch in highenergy physics. And sabbaticals sbouldn' be thought . of as automatic after 12 semesters. Greiner explained that he .has the power to approve a sabbatical but only the president can deny sabbatical The prolll'saiS" are screened. by the chairme n a na deans beforl!' comi ng tO the prQVOSl. In the past two years. only one request • was n91 suppqrted by the provost:- , Greine~>ai<!. His j6b IS really ju t to . doul)le-<:heck what the deans have decided. T his system was .)Norked out because the deans said they needed guidance. If a req uest comes through tltat shows the faculty member has bee n carrying only a bare minimum workload in the department, it's reasonable to ask the dean why the teacher should be granted leave when he or she hasn ' been making a full contributio n. Greiner said. Then the deitn can reply that nothing shows on the vita because there's a book in pr..ogress and the ~ave ~ to '4rite the >eq uel. or that the faculty member final!~ has some enthusiasm and should be given the leave. 0 Continuing Ed is MFC once more; DUE gets -new name he Division of Continuing Education has been renamed Millard Fillmore College ( M FC) and the former Divjsion of Undergraduate Education is now the Division of Undergraduate Academic Services, Provost William Greiner a nnounced this Week.

Student retention effort reaches out ByAL BRUNO caching out and helping troubled student s is the mission of the Student Retention Program at UB. The program is an outreach effon designed to help those who are having problems - financial , academic. sociaL psychological, and others. There are two locations: 265 Capen on the Spine and 452 ~"tirgo Quadrangle in Ellicott. "Program staff sit down with a student. discuss the problem and .devisc a. mutually agreed upon effon for resolvang the difficulty," said H. William Coles, Ill. Ph. D .. coordinator of the Student Retention Program. Run primarily by trained graduate stud ents. the program aims to help fresh men who are having difficulty fitting into the large university system. This is done through informal talks. telephone calls, or by direct intervention _if R necessary. . According_to Janet Mather, a graduate tntern, staff of the program have alread y telephoned all freshmen commuters and .many freshmen in the dormitories to determine their perception~. of the Univers ny and to help them wuh any problems they might have. Although a bit tedious for the interns. panicularly at the beginning 9f the sc hool year. this is the best way to reach fres hmen and let them know about the se rvices and programs on cam pus designed to assist them. Coles said . "We have offered brochures. had advcniscmc nt s in 71t~ Sp~rtrum, and have put up posters all over both campuses.

""You're either in one of two positions in a break-u p. You're either the person getting the 'Dear John / Jane' letter or you're the person writing the ' Dear John /· Jane' letter. "Coles said. "The per.;on getting the letter feels very frustrated and experiences a feeling of wonhlessness." What do staff in the Student Retention Program do for students experiencing a rough break-up? "We try to let them know that there is life after separa tion. and that there are mal!)' potential relationships out there. So one girl (1\UY) dumj>ed you. it doesn' mean you fa1led. It's lake taking a 1.000question test - if yo u miss one. do yoU nunk? We also want to make sure that t hey accept the separation as a learning experience and that they are not afraid to love again," said Coles. He advises students U> be aware of the ..rebou nd relationship" because iCs not what it seems to be. • "There arc a lot of you ng people who go into relationships with expectations that are too high. I've talked with young people who go with him (her) for two weeks and already have names picked out for the first three kids."

KERSHNER . he 30 per cent mortality rate for severe multiple trauma patients could be almost eliminated .jf neW procedures for treating these palients were insti tuted in emergency rooms. a UB study has revealed. John R. Border, M.D., UB professor of su rgc{y who is acknowledged as one of' the fathers of modern trauma surgery, has pioneered . and" developtd ground-. breukmg new treatment methods that dramatically improve (he survival of patients wh<tsuffer from severe multiple trauma, often a result of traffic· accidents. tratnn.l\_ These advances in the care pat.ien ts-re .described by Border in an October 1985 Annals of Surgery article: he will r.ublish u book titled Total Care of Se~•erc y Injured Man (Marcel Dekker, :-1 . Y.T Bordtr also spoke about the su bJect in two dozen invited lectures in 1984 and 1985. Although his successful new techniques have been available to the medical community for at least three to four years. physicians in only a few American cities other than Buffalo have adopted · them .. Sinct the techniques consistently reduce the mortality rate of severe multiple trauma patients from 30 percent to 3 per ~nt or less, an estimated five to 10,000 lives per year could be saved if all hospitals employed Border's procedures. In addition, many hundred s of thousands more cou ld lead more ~productive, nor· niallives if Border's treatment were used. In researching reasons for the mortality of trauma patients. Border discovered unexpectedly that .. monalit y rates are more affected by the type of treatment than by the magnitude of the injury ... Except for brain injury, he learned that the mairr factor determining mortality rates was the way the trauma patient is managed on the night of entry to a hospital. Compared .to Borders approach. current treatment of fracture trauma in moderately injured patients results in periods of hospital stays and time on the ventilator which are two to four times longer, a 74-fold increase of bacteria in blood (infection), four times more pul. monary emboli and two to three ti.mes more pain mCdication use. Border has yet to lose a fracture trauma patient to the multiple system organ failure th~t results from traditional fracture management, he reports. Border's approach includ es six basic techniques: I) Aggressive treatment to prevent failure of heart a nd lungs. 2) Aggressive. immediate surgery for all injuries, including bone fractures, rather than the traditional ..conservative" repair of bone fractures several days later. 3) Massive protei.n nutritional support to prevent protein malnutrition, includ· ing oral feed in~~ as soo n as possi ble. High glucose admimstration is to be avoided. 4) Ventilation of the patient after surgery until proven it is no fonger needed. 5) The patient is sitting up on the day after surgery and no traction or casts are used. 6) Removal of all necrotic tissue around wounds and fractures during surgery on the first day. T of B order confidently states that if his approach is used, .. , expect that in the absence of severe brain. mjuries and pre~xist ing. organ failures, the patient will reliably surYive, that he will be on the ventilator two to four days, out of bed ~d si tting up in one to three days, eating in three to seven days. out oft he intensive care unit by seven days, out of the hospital by 21 days. and back to work by four to six months, and that he will have no significant permanent disability." Border developed his new approach because of the unfortunate pattern typical for many accident victims with maJOr multiple injuries. Although they may surVive the original trauma, many die days or weeks later of multiple system organ failure. The Harvard Medical School graduate learned tfiat this organ failure results from a com bination of pro· tcin malnutrition, sepsis, and cardiopul· monary problems. Stgnifieantly, the traditional method of treating trauma patients is what usually leads to these often lethal conditions. The .. secret" of the success of aggressi'vefracture surgery is that, "after you've been severely injured, you donl get better with time, you get worse,'' Border emphasizes. The patient's systen\ is stro ngest immediately after the accident, not days later when traditional surgery on fractures first t·akcs place. " I canl overemphasize the importance of aggressiv.e fracture surgery. Conservative treatment also prolongs the late septic state." Border declares, poinling out that it results in an infection rate 74 times higher and a fracture complication rate two to four times higher than that of aggressive surgery. "On night of admission, there is no suppression of the immune system. the least chance for introduction of virulent hospital bacteria, and there is much less bleeding in the operative wound. The combined changes reduce the risk of wound infection." Border comments. Rather than stemming from external sources of infection, the late sepsis of irauma patients that leads to death, Border dascovered, resu lts from internal sources ... Retained necrotic tissue (crushed muscle, blood , and bone tissue) leads to decreased antibacterial activity. The same changes lead to entry of bacteria from the intestinal contents. By the time conservative surgery removes the dead iissue, sepsis has already begun, .. Border expla1ns. " When immediate surgery is performed, a thorough cleaning of all necrotic tissue is absolutely necessa ry'' to maintain the system's anti· bacterial activity and to prevent entry of bacteria from the gut. T he second source of infection asso· ciated with the traditional apprqaeh is related to inadequate nutrition. Withoul sufficient protein support, the body will draw upon 1ts own.resources of stored nutrients, especially mus.cle pro~ tein. This muscle breakdown leads to malnutrition in the gastrointestinal mucosa which in turn leads to entry of toxins and bacteria. With the gut unable t9 confi ne the intestinal bacteria, they spread to the rest of the body and cause sepsis. Bormr explains th at the problem is worsened by the fact that "when an accident occurs, the intestine stops working. leaving the bowel full of bacteria and toxins which accumulate.·· Furthermore. since the intestinal cells are not being "fed" by oral ingestion of food,_the nor- "Up to 10,000 lives each year could be saved if hospitals used· Border's · procedures. " mally efficient barrier of the gut-liver complex is grossly reduced . This is one reason why Border stresses the importance of immediate to very early ingestion of food. , Independent from tbe prevention of sepsis, massive protein support is an essential part of Border's protocol because the injured body ·needs it to repair its tissue. lt provides four to six times more protein and 25-50 per cent more calories (with glucose) than healthy people require. However, Border cautions that glucose must not be given at levels of 100 per cent.<Jr more in excess of normal requtrements. Excessive glucose will lead to development of fat in the liver. causing th is vital organ to break down. esides sepsis and malnutrition. the third reason for the demise of trauma patients has been cardiopulmo· nary failure. Pl aci ng trauma patients on ven tilators for a§.long as needed preven ts cardiopulmona ry failure (due to fa t emboli). Immediate resection of 'all necrotic tissue is very important in reducing the duration of lung failu re. Border found th a t conservative surgery, which calls fo r traction requiring a supine position,.prevents the lungs from breathing deeply. This causes retention of secretions and leads to pulmonary edema and pneumonia. Aggressive surge ry. on the other hand, permits the patient to sit upright, breathe deeply and cough up secretions. further minimizing cardio· pulmonary difficulties. Also aiding the patients' recovery is the reduction of prolonged pain and anxiety normally ass.ociated with delayed repair of fractures, fears Of successive operations , and inability to talk because of intubation. 'Prolonged pain and anxiety. Border emphasizes, complicate recovery because of their harmful effects on the· central nervous system and upon ingestion of food and protein metabolism. Border hopes his approach will become standard not only for the sake df patients but also for its beneficial effect on society. "We could cut hospital stays and usc of hospital resources in half," he states. Patients are also much more likely to recover sooner and to return to productive lives. B W hy is his approach not more wide- spread? Border speculates that new understandings of old problems are always slow to be adopted:" He also believes that there is inadequate commuriication between orthopaedic and general surgery depanments in the U.S., so that fractures are treated by both disciplines as though there were no other injuries (rather than by using the "total patient" approach). Border thinks tiis approach will be adopted only where hospitals include neurosurgeoos, orthopaedists, surgeons, anesthesiologists; radiologists and rehabilitation specialists as pan of the front line team, working closely together. He sees his titinin~ of surgical resi. dents and medical students as a hopeful sign. Two of his trainees haveestabhshed the approach in Dallas and H'ouston, for e~ample. But despite all his effons, adoption of the technique in other hospitals has been slow. 0 �Februery 8, 11118 Volume 17, No. 18 . e Ie n · [ !ower class black male streetcorner behavior has spread I~ almost every aspect of Amen· can life," according to He~ben L li~~~e~;PUO~ess~~:;f~~~;~.g~~~i~~\~~f; · ' . · ' · n · · • teachers. have to learn to understand it.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

UB will hold a memorial service in Jarvis' honor at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. ~ in Slee Hall. "He was such a great man," Lee said of .Jarvis, who received his B.S. in electrical engineering from UB in 1967. " He deserves to be remembered and honored. "He's the kind of person our sLUdents hould look to and follow. He was a good role model· for the young."

Lee said he was going to. write a letter to Jarvis inviting him to time his visit to coincide with an Apri l open house. . "I never got to write to him," Lee said sadly. It wasn 'tjust the astronaut's connection to UB that brings on a sense of loss, Lee noted. "He was such a SUJ?er fellow- intelligent and out~oing," Lee said "He had all the important characteristi<;s of a human being. It was just the loss of a good human being and a good role model for the young." . In hi address he!·e at the M,ay 18 Engineering commencement, Jan~s exhorted graduates to "r·each [{)r the stars."

Hughes Aircraft Company. •was assigned two payload specialist 5lots on the ASA mission. Jarvis was selected from a field of 600 applicants. Ironically. Jarvis ·had a long wait for his first space night. He was bumped off' the roster in March. 1985. by Sen. J ake Garn. R-Utah. Jarvis was rescheduled for August of that year. then for Christmas Day. and bumped off the roster by Rep. Bill Nelson. D-Fia. He was rescheduled for Jan. 22. Despite the delays.

Because of weather and mechanical problems. the Jan. 22 night . was rescheduled for Jan .-25, then 26. then 27. and fipally was launched Jan . 28. Jarvis never seemed scared to go into space. according to Mary Beth Spina of the UB News Bureau . "He told me, 'I'm really looking forward to it so much . I never really had any fear about it,· .. Spina related. "I think !he overwhelming magnitude of getting tO do it nullified what ':"Ould normally be a fearful situation ... Still. he knew dangt:rs were involved. she sa'id · " I guess he died doing what he wanted to do," she added. Jarvis was an extrovert, Spina said. the kind of man you feel you've known all your life after talking to him only for a feWminutes. And even though he was one of a handfu l selected to go into space, there didn' SCC!" to be a lot .of clamor around him as a celebrity. "He seemed kind of touched that we M'ted him to speak at commencement ... Spina said. And it was his own idea to carry a U B nag wit~ him on the shuttle. "He said that the University had given him a great deal and he wan"d to make this a unique gift ... she. said. On the shuttle night, Jarvis was to test the effects of weightlessness on nuid in r-anks. It was hoped his .experiments would give engineers new information on the design of liquid-fueled rockets. There has been much speculation ar. to how the 'explosion of Challenger will affect future missions. The program has been temporarily halted until investigators find the cause of the accident. While }he explosion was obviou>ly unfortunate, Dean Lee sees these risks as a necessary evil in seeking knowledge. And everl if Jarvis knew the outcome oi this night, he would have been in favor of continuing the program, Lee speculated. "I hope (the accident) doesn' hurt the effon toward the noble goal of seeking knowledge," Lee said. . 1 J arvis was born Aug. 24, 1944, in Detroit. He grew up in Mohawk, N.Y .. near Utica. After receiving his B.S. from UB. he earned his master's degree in electrical engineering from ortheastern University in Boston in 1969. He also completed courSework for a master 1S in management science at the West Coast UniVersity of Los Angeles. He served as a satellite engineer in the Air Force and achieved the rank of cap.tain before resigning to become a Hughes engineer.

Along with seven other UB student . they are to attend a conservative convention which w1s sc heduled to be highlighted by a dinner with President Reagan . 0 Should faculty debate or not debate AlA? he q·uestion of whether a faculty member should debate the national director of Accuracy in · Academia prompted a debate of its own at last wee~.'s Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. Claude Welch, professor of political science and chairman of th e Faculty . Senate, said he would be willing to participate in such a debate planned by the Student Association for February or March. (Accuracy in Academia is a Washington, D.C.-based organi zation th at sea rches for feftist bi ases in professors.) Charles Petrie, associate professor of communication. questi oned whether debating the group is dignifying it more than it deserves. He sugge>ted that laughing it out of existence might be better. Mar)' Bisson . assistant profes:,or in biological sciences. disagreed. noting that T biologists have had the same sort of problem with creationists for a long time. The biologists found thai by ignoring it, the lssue was taken seriously, she said. If the faculty debate this group, " we're creating a forum for them. " Petrie argued ... It reminds me of the press cover~ ing hijackings.'' Barbara Bono. assistant professor of English. questioned the form of the debate and whether arguing against a group called " Accuracy in Academia " put one in th e position of arguing for inau uracy in academia. ·•Are you worried about being used? .. she asked Welch . While debating the group rna~ overdignify ih academic freedom must have its strong defenders, he answered . Willi•m K. George, profe.sor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, noted lhat just :.'s it would be a tactical error to choose an atheist biologist to debate a creationist , it might be a mistake to choose a liberal to represent the facult y in the debate. The conservatives in the audience would find conservative faculty member more credible than a liberal one. he suggested. a A lso at the meeting. the Faculty Senate Executive Committee voted to suppo rt the concept of a SUNY-wide transfer policy, but only for parallel programs. The concept is outlined in a proposed joint resolution of the SUNY Faculty Senate and the Faculty Council of Communuy Colleges. The resolution says that there ought to be a ~ys tem where students can transfer ca~ily between S NY two~year and four~ year schools. and get a bachelor'>degree 10 four ye::trs. said Walter Kun1, acting dean of undergraduate academic services and SUNY senator. · UB's transfer policy agrees with the particulars of the resolution, he noted. However. the associate of applied science or A.A.S. degree is included along with other associate's degrees in the plan. The A.A.S. is a terminal degree. not intended for transfer. Kunz said. Therefore. the Faculty Senate Executive Committee vo ted that this polic) should pertain only to parallel programs that are essentia lly the same 3S what a student would take here. One facuhy member commented that it's \·ery difficult to figu re out from the Undergraduate Bulletin which of a transfer student's courses v.ould be accepted . Kun7 noted that articulation :.tgrccments arc worked out with several two-year colleges and th o>e >ho uld probably be included in the next printing of the bulletin. 0 Public Safety issues assailant's composite P ubhc Safety investigators have issued a new composite photo of a man involved in a series of a!!.sault!!! on female students in th e Ellicoll Com plex, after receiving a description from a witness who said he saw the man shortly before he a:,saultcd a 19-vea r-old student in Red Jackel Saturday night. ln>ptctor Dan Jay reported that a male ~tude nt !taw a man ·an:,wei-ing the general descri ption of the assailant shortly before --- .. - ... ~ the attack , which occurred at about 11 :45 p.m. Saturday.

Good news: the higher education depression is over Higher Education and the American Resurgence by Frank Newman Carneg1e Foundat1on for lhe Advancement of Teachrng.ISBN 0-931050-28-6 The Future of Graduate Education edrled by Bruce L R Sm~h. T.he Brookrngs lnslllulron, ISBN 0-8157-7995-X T .o judge from these informative volumes. the ..depression .. in American highcli. education is over. and those responsible !or decision-making are looking toward a somewhQ.t more optimistic future. Many imponderables continue, of cqurse. including Jhe government's fiscal situation and the long-term' \ future of·Hte economy. but for the short 'run , higher educatiOn seems' in relatively good health. The states. which provide the largest share of. funding for the publ ic sector of American higher- education. have been fairly ge nero us in the past few years. The enrollment declines which were predicted have not occurred despite a decrease in the si1e of the rele vant age group. and publ ic confide nce in higher education see ms to be relatively high. Of co n.siderable impo rtance. the current ..excellc:nee .. movement in education has had some impact on h\&hcr education and it has strengthened those, such as t~e authors of these two volumes, who are concerned with the overall improvement of post--secondary education, with research, and with advanced degree work in the un iversi ties. Hixht r £duration and tht Amt'rican RtJurg~n ct and 71rt Stolt of Graduate £duration are products of the "Establishment" and have blue-ribbon sponsorship. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is . responsible for Frank Newman's report. while the prestigious Brookings Institution. a Washington think-tank of a relatively liberal bent. s ponsored the co nference which resulted in Bruce L. R. Smith's collection of essays. Both volumes Provide very useful overviews of the current status of American higher education, and also make a range ~suggestions for future policy. :!t; They will both be important in current debates about policy and about the future of American higher education. Frank Newman. former president of the University of Rhode lsland a!'d now head of the influential Education Commission of the States, has written the more complete- and also the more influential of the two volumes. H igher EdU(·ation Dnd the Amerkan R~lurgen'ce is a full blown discussion of the role of post-secondary education in contemporary American society. II attempts to make future predictions and suggest policies to meet future challenges. The main thrust is to link current and future societal and \ economic trends to higher education and to ensure that the universities (there is hardly any mention of the large two-year community college sector) are able to participate fully in these societal and economic changes. The challenges are not surprising- an increased dependence on foreign trade, the new technologies and the computer revolution, the necessity to retain American leadership in research. and the improvement of standards in higher educauon. The solutions are also not particularly su rprimng or innovative. although their implementation would certainly make a difference 1n higher education. There is no detailed analysis of undergraduate education- the focus of some other recent innuential reports, although Newman proposes that the idea of service to soc1ety be stressed and opportunities for community and social service be included as part of the undergraduate experience. This volume is much more concerJled with the provision of high-level technical personnel, with researcb and development, and with linking !Jle universities with industry. There are a range of specific su~estions embedded in this overall analySi s of trends and issues. T he Futurfl of Gracluatt Eclu£·atiun is a collection of essays by establishment figures. Not surprisingly. three out of nine chapters deal · specifically with engineering and computer science graduate education. A few years ago. not so much stress would have been placed in these areas. Despite severe problems i'h American graduate- education during the past decade. the authors of these essay• find it in relatively good shape. There are new challenges. to be ~ure, but the overall situation i ~ not a disaster although careful planning must now take place so graduate education may . respond lo future trends. There has been a dramatk change in the academic labor market in the United States. Graduate enrollmerus have dropped in a number of fieldsincluding even engineering. but 'most "" dramatically in the humanities and social sciences. The number of teaching jobs in higher education has been very limited. although there a re now signs of change- and the possibility is that • there will not be a sufficient number of doctoral graduates to fill these positions. F..Jil:lher. in a field like engineering. more than half of the doctorates are now going -to foreigners, with inevitable coosequences for the " future of teachi1'1g and research in this · field . · There is also a problem of the . maintenance of facilities for research and graduate teaching. University building) and laboratories are now out of date and poorly maintained. During the cutbacks of the 1970s, "deferred maintenance'' was a means of saving money. and little equipment Was purchased. Now, these false economies must be paid for 'with increased bu\\ding. A chapter on minority students in graduate education indicates that. for the most part . minorities. particularly blacks and Hispanics, continue to be underrepresented in virtually all fields. and thetr proportions have not dramatically increased. Only AsianAmericans have increased. and they are now overrepresented. particularly in the sciences. These two books are. in a sense. handbooks for future developments in American higher education. They have the imprimatur of key agencies and both are informative, well documented. and carefully argued. They will be particularly useful for charting how the advanced levels of American higher education will respond to the challenges of the next few years. 0 - PHILIP G.

MARLETT REBECCA BERNSTEIN ALAN J. KEGLER �Jouary 30, 11188 Volume 17, No. 17 Inventions New procedure encourages 'disClosu,res' By CONifiE OSWALD STOFKO larger slice of royalty payments is just one of the incentives that · now exist to encourage researchers to file .. invention disclosures ... said EdW'ard M. Zablocki. coordinator for industrial and external relations in U B's . Office of the Vice President for Sponsored Programs. U8 researchers are supposed to go through the inven tion di'Sclosure process when they discover something that may be patentable or licensable. he explained . (In licensing. a company pays for the right '" use a technology for a limited time.) The researcher submits a form to U B which ls then sent on to the State University Research Foundation's Office of 'Technology Transfer.· .:fhat SUNY office handles the determination · of patentability . .then tries to market the idea to industry. • If the discovery is suCcessfully patented and licensed , the researcher. d1rectly and indirectly. receives most of the royalties generated. Zablocki said. The researcher personally receives 40 per cent of the gross royalties - "a fairly liberal figure." Zablocki commented. The big recenr change is that the bulk of the remaining 60 per cent now comes back to UB to benefiuhe researcher. Zab· locki noted, Under a prior policy, the State University Research Foundation retained 60 per cent of the nel. ow. it keeps only a bout 12 percent of t he net for administrative cosas. The remaining chunk is now ~ pl i t almost equally between the rescarcher"s laboratory, his department. and an account used for research development funds . Zablocki said . A Kung's new drug went through the patent process fa researcher really wants to sec his technology get used in the market· place. he11 take the time to go through the invention disclosure process. said Hank Kun g. Ph .D .• who di ~cove rc:d a drug that has been patented I through the University. Kung. an associate profc:s~o r in the Department of Nuclear Medicine. deve ~ lo ped a drug th at will allow safer. less costly, and often more accurate diagnosis illld management of stroke and other brain disea e~. One of the · rllajor co nsideration~ !'8r Kung .in his decisio n-to pursue the invention d1sclo!<.urc procedure is the tremend- ous cost involved in getting a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The studies required before a drug is approved can cost between $5 million and S 10 million. he sa1d. · A drug conipany \loould not wan t to >pend that kind of money developing a drug if it didn't have patent protection. Otherwise. another com pany could come along and take adva ntage of the work, he expla ined. "So in order to see something applied in the marketplace. it"s the process you have to go through." Kung said. Before tho/State University Resea rch Foundation Office of Technology Transfer was set up, there were federal agencies that could help, but the process was very cumbersome, he said. " ow the State finally realizes there are benefi ts for both the State and the companies." W he n the foundation's Office of Technology Transfer receives an application, it has to make choices. Patent lawyers' fees can cost from S2.000 to $10,000, so the office doesn't want to spend money unles~ it can ex pect that some company will pay for technology once it's patented. Kung said. " We were lucky,"hc said. "Even before we filed for the patent, we were approached by a drug com pany. So the Office of Technology Transfer knew ihey'd recover their money ... The researcher has to take some time to explain to the lawyers, who may not be 1amiliar with the researcHers' field or his terminology. what a new technology invohes. Kung admitted that there were moments when it seemed to be taking time away from his researeh~·ork. ~ But it'~ still wonh it to him: panty because he feels an obligation. and part!) because of th e benefit> of obtaining a patcn1. " A ~ a faculty member workmg for S NY. I feel it's part of my job to go through the effon so th e technolog) can be used." he >aid. There are monetary ad\antages 40 per cent of the royalties are divided between the inventors. ( Kung and Monte Blau. formerly of the UB faculty. "ere named on the patent, he said.) A rc~earc h er may also find that the invention can attract industrial re~earch support. Kung said he wa<. able to get another n:scarch grant because or the patent. A commercial advantage is being able to stake a claim in a particular area. he noted. Kung added a tip for resea rche rs: Be a~are oft he timing when making a public d1sclosure: that is, when publishing a paper or submitting rli<iterial to a national meeting. In the United States, a researcher has one year from th e time of public disclo· su re to file fo r a patent. In Europe. a researcher loses the right'lo file for a pat· ent as oon as he makes the public disclosure, Kung said.. 0 n the 1984-85 fiscal year. UB led the Iinvention SU Y system in both the number of disclosures made and in the amount of royalty inco me generated . he noted . About 52 per cen t of total receipt s, or about Sl23.350 out of $24,9,170. related to UB licenses, royalties. and other related so urces, Zablocki said. U B submi tted 26 of the 66total invention disclosures, or almost 40 per cent. Stony Brook, by comparison. >u bmitted only 13, he reported. While UB is leadi ng the SUNY pack. t~e U~iver. i_ ty is not doi ng as we lin~ pubhe UOIVCrSiliCS or Comparable ~i1e in the Midwest . he said. noting that 16 of UB 's 26 invention disclosures \locre submined by only three faculty membe!">. Ronald. ,SWn, iotpim vice 11ff,1id<JV for spon~o·recTprograms. and hisSlaff are makong an effort to help facu lty realize the potential benefits both to them perso nally and to the public in filing invenuon d1!tclosures. Zablocki said. It is important that r~earchen. file imention di~closuresso a tcchnologv has a chance to sene the public goad:enabling a com pany to use a technology and help the econom). he said. A company u sual)~ needs some kind of protection of its rights to a technology before it will invest money to develop it. Without the protections afforded through the invention disclosure process. the technology isn) usable. F acuity members may shun the inven•tion disclosure process because they are unaware of it or they misunderstand it, Zablocki said. R ese~rche rs may think the process is time-consuming and '~;'ill pull them away from theiT research. Or, they may have heard from ~olleagues that things were not handled very e!Tfctively on the past. That may have bien true around 1981 he admitted. when SU Y was changing from havin~ a private company handle onveniJon doo;closures to handling them itself. But n!'w the 'Office 9fTechnology Transfe r. WJlh four full-tome people, is bet~e.-:s taffed and bentr prepared to assiSt tn the process of patenting and licensi ng S U Y technology. Also, .UB will continue to asslst researche~ in preparing inventiQn disclosure forms. Zablocki said . This is now handled through the Office <If the Vice President for Sponsored Programs and throughlheWestern ewYorkTechnol· ogy Development Center (TDC). (The TDC IS a pnvate. non-profit corporation formed to aid technology transfer on Western ew York.) · Cha nges at the niversity will benefit ind ustry a ' well. Zablocki pred icted . A proposed new patent policy will make licensable tec hnology from Y signif-' tt'"dntl),.more an racttve to corporations. "The former policy was very negati>~t in tone,·· Za blocki explained. "It almost said that patents were an unfortunate byproduct of research that had to be dealt with." If approved .the policy would allow the Office of Technology Transfer to enter in to long-term exclusive relationship~ with compa nie~ more: easily. Those are the kinds of re lationships companies prefer. he added . . ocal companies can benefit from still another recent development. The L TDC has a n agreement with th e SU Y Research Foundation to market inventions from UB t o Western e" York. com panies. . - A technological development can stay sn the area to benefit local companies," Zablocki noted. · Local companies will ge t an e.\ciUSI\C one-month lead time on licensable technol ogies.

In o rde r to read Japanese o r Chinese. th e U B language ex pe rt no ted . one must be able . in either case. to recognize' about 3.000 lingui stic characters . This compare' with the 26-leuer Roman alphabet that makes up the English \an$uage. Another advantage of Enghsh. Dunnett explained. is a syntax form that "all ows for direct expression" - to tell it like it is. D unneu al so extolled the nexibility of English in its role of a "living langu age.·· It allows for borrowing words fr o m otticr languages. he explained. creating new word s and dropping outmoded on es. While English i' the world's mo ·t widely accepted languttge 'for communicating in matter~ of business and technol ogy. Dunnett pointed out. other languages al so tend to lind specialized role~. Fre nCh. for instance, is de~cribed by Dunnett as •·great for diplomacy but too cumberso me for science and business ... He views German a~ ··good for science ... UB 's Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) was founded in 1971. with Dunnett at the helm. to meet the needs of foreign student s who were enrolling here at u growing rate. Tflrough subsequent re ci procal agreement s. I ELl soon · became an English lcci(ning mecca for repre ~e ntatives of foreign governments. compan ies doing business on a global scale and worldwide organizations and agencies. including the United Nations.

F or \i.ngui.sti.c experts. such. as Dun· nell. worldwide use of English comes in two basic packages - native and adopted. A~ a native Language, English reigns supreme in England, Ireland. Scotland. the United States. Australia. and New Zealand'. In other parts of the world - such as India. Malaysia. South Africa. Singapore. and Hong Kong - English is a .. lingua franca ... or .. bridging over"' language. But usage varies. In Japan. for example. it is estimated that 120 million persons have learned to speak English but tend to speak Japanese in their homeland and English while abroad. Dunnell calls I his pallern "English for instrumental purposes" as oppo:.cd Jo "English for integrative purposes." Jn nations where the study of a second language is required, Dunnell observed. "English invanably is the first choice." German and French. he added. are the most popular second choices. particu· larly in European nations. It has been determined. Dunnell related. that one in every seven persons throughout the world has "some knowledge" of the English language. A naturalized American born in London . England. Dunnell joined the U B faeuhv and became director of I ELl after serving as a professor of English at Uni· versitede Montpellier in France. While in France. he also taught English at the IBM-France Education Center i n Montpellier. His educational bac kground includ es >tud y at U B. where he earned both his bac helo r of art ' and Ph.

By investigating the effects of cultural adaptation on second-lailguage acquisition and academic achievement. he strives to improve the total educational environmen t of foreign' students in I ELl progra~s. . Students enrolled an I ELI courses are exposed t o liberal doses of American culture at UB and surrounding areas. hina's emergence as a "waking giant .. in its pursuit of economic advancement also is of s~ial interest to Dunnell as I ELI brings English profi, ciency to the vanguard of Chines~ i~du~­ trial managers and educators e.ntolled 10 UB's recently established Master of .

The relative >implicit y of English is viewed by Dunnett as particularly well suited to computer programming, a vital function ilf"processing business information. What if China emerge as a leader in · global commerce? Dunnett suggested that the Chinese language could vie for some recognition in made-to-order situations.

This is a long awaited move. 4250 Ridge Lea, I he formef' address of UCS, has been the home of the professional staff and all mainframes since 1968. That 's when the Interim Campus was built to last for five years! The 4250 Ridge Lea building had become woefully unreliable, facilities had become worn out, and the machine room floor space was no longer sufficient to keep pace with the growing demand for new computer equipment. Furthermore, the remote location - even though it was jus.t across the Youngmann Expressway - posed an ever increasing problem for data communication delivery to the Amherst Campus and the Main Street Campus. Substantially enhanced computer services will be available from the new Computing Center with far reaching and dramatic changes for every student, faculty, and staff member who uses computers. A large number of electricians, telephone technicians, computer equipment installers, and commun ications specialists have prepared our new headquarters, filling its attractive machine floor room wall to wall with brand new computer equipment leased and / or purchased from many different vendors. BY HINRICH M ARTENS �Located as an attached structure on the west end of Ffonczak Hall. the 36,000-square-foot facility will be the home of. the central computing systems. tfle Offices of the Associate Vice President for Computing and Information Technology, Academic Computing, Administrative Computing, and Operations. The move will be carried out in several steps: 11 began January 13 and ends March 3, 1986. Academic Computing. ucs·administrative offices. and a 'portion ol Operations are already relocated, while Administrative Computing will be moved last. An impressive array of new computing. equipment has been installed in the new center as a result of planning which started several . years ago .. Th.e combined value of all new equipment.-if purchasEjd at curren t list prices, is approximately $12.1 million. The computer · syste~s with the 1)1ost significaflf benefit are the la~ge IBM system and the DEC VAX Cluster. For the first time m the University's history of <' computer development we enjoy full access to the two· cemputel\environments which predominate in"U.&. colleges and universities. Their presence removes barriers which in. the . past have prevented us from using many software packages available elsewhere. There IS about a 99.9 per cent probability that software which is of interest to our University community will run on either the IBM system under VM/CMS. or th e· VA~ster under VMS, or the UNIX computers. T he Changing Role of the Computing Center Four years ago when we knew that we could not build a comprehensive Computing Center we aftempted to read the future of computer development. so that we could make logical priority selections on what functions should be housed in the center. Historically, we were at the tail end of batch computing dominated by large mainframes. The switch to interactive, timesharing computing was just beginning to have an impact on our University, greatly increasing the need for remote access and distributed resource sharing. We concluded that interactive computing would be a major force shaping the future of computing at UB, and thus proceeded to shift computer access from the central facilities entirely to remote sites. This direction has been pursued vigorously in the last three years leading to the esta blishment of many remote sites to support instructional computing needs. To underscore this effort two new computing sites have been opened in the Science and Engineering library. One is equipped with microcomputers to support the new computing m1nor. The other is being filled with DEC VT220 terminals. These terminals will provide access to all the features of tre VAX machines, many of which are inaccessible from other terminals. On the Main Street Campus another microcomputing facility has been opened in Crosby Hall. This facility will serve Architecture. Chemistry, and Mathematics. Today the University is in the midst of another major shift in campus computing - the personal computer revolution. This development fortunately comes as a natural extension of the shift toward interactive terminal access. and all .of our planning assumptions of four years ago regarding remote access remain valid The computer facilities housed m the Computing Center. in addition to providing computer power and access to software libraries. will more and more assume the roles of the campos network hub for personal computer traffic and the provider of information from large centrally maintained file systems T he New Computing Center The build1ng was constructeq over a - p e riod of about 26 months by the Balling Constr.uction Company Bazemore Associates. Inc., was the architect. The interior layout is compact and efficient; however. it provides space only for centralized. and special services. The budget approval for the building took place four yea it ago when the State went through a S'@!vere fiscal squeeze. As a result, frugality was one of the themes guiding the des1gn. Constrained by a limited budget, we were forced to virtually eliminate all student oriented computer support functiOI'Is from the building. and develop remote computer sites instead, to be derived from existing University space. The first floor of our new building has a large machine room and offices for the Operations staff. The machine room will house a new Sperry 1100/91 for Administrative Computing. an IBM 3081/GX for both Academic and Administrative Computing, and a Di9ilal Equipr.-~ent VAX Cluster for Academ1c Computing In addition, two-new state-of-the-art additions will also occupy the machine roor:n, a i<ER0X 8700 laser printe1 and a Floailng ..Point Systems FPS-164 array processor. The second floor has been assigned to the UCS-wide Core Systems Staff and ttle Academic Computing, staff: represen ting User Services and the Microservices group. There will also be a high resolution graphics facility, a microcomputer demonstration area, a consulting room, and an Input/Output (1/0) room. Both impact and laser printing output will be distributed from the second floor 1/0 room. The. third floor will be home for Administrative Computing and the Office of the Associate Vice President for Computing and Information Technology. There will also be a UCS training facility equipped with terminals and advanced audio-visual equipment. S pecial Physical Facilities The utilities servicing the Computing Center are also impressive. Designed with efficiency, bacl<-up capabilities, and long-term reliability in mind, a sophisticated engineermg support system has been assembled Because we painfully learned from our woefully inadequate facilities on the Ridge Lea Carnpus. all foreseeable provisions and precautions have been considered and included. Air conditioning 1s prov1ded by five. 20-fon Liebert units which discharge Chilled a1r under the recessed floor of the 6,000-square-foot machine room. The five units are controlled by a central panel automatically regulating temperature and humidity so they are uniform throughout the room. Two of the mainframes. the IBM 3081/GX and the Sperry 1100/ 91 , require chilled water for cooling. This is provided by two chillers located in an adjacent utility room. One chiller acts as the primary unit, while the other is a back-up and supplementary unit. The heat energy extracted from the machine room air and the mainframes is absorbed by the University"s chilled water system. Dunng the months when the chilled water plant IS not in . ope:ration, the chillers will take over the chilling function through internal refrigeration. and the Computing Center's own pumps will circulate the underground chilled water system which will act as a giant reservoir of cooling water. T-he same cooling concept IS employed in the operation of the air, conditioning units The machine room is equipped with a variety of sensors to detect trouble conditions such as water under the floor. smoke in the air, excessive temperatures or humidity. Various systems will provide appropriate remedies. The most exciting is the Halon fire extinguishing system, which when triggered will d1scharge a gaseous mixture designed to rob the air in the mach1ne room of all oxygen. The Halon system is totally effective within 10 seconds after discharge, ext1nguishing all fire w1th no secondary damage to the computer equipment. The disch11rge of the Halon system is accompanied by an ear deafening noise; naturally, all operating personnel will have prior · warn1ng to leave the area before thiS occurs. E.lectrical power to the Computer Center is Hlnrich Martens. associate vice president-for cpmputlng & information technology (left(. and Dennis Henneman. director of openlions, Uni· versity Computing Center.

In the.case of a power failure there w1ll be a controlled shutdown of all systems. assuring always a troublefree recovery. This will protect both equipment and data stored on the mass storage devices ·N ew Developments in Data Communications The data communications networks that are being installed and maintained are specialized collect1ons of electronic hardware. software. and transmission facilities that make rt poss1ble for terminals, microcomputers. and larger computers to communicate w1th each other 1n an eff1c1ent and 'relatively 1nexpens1ve manAer Ten y~ars ago. there were less than 100 termirtlfs ill UB and most computer users were content with dial-up access to computers at transm1ssion rates of 1 t 0 or 300 bits per second (BPS). equivalent to approximately 10 to �!----....._---------UNIVERSITY COMPUTING SERVICES link to the Engineering Buildings LANs. The coJ]lplete ETHERnet LAN structure will support intercommunication for all VAX computers and · the Sperry 7000 UNIX machine. In addition, all· faculty offices and 80 student terminals and microcomputers in Engineering will have access. Computer Science will have its own departmental ETHERnet. With the growing activities in data communications in the University and hundreds of devices on the two campuses needing access, one might expect substantial and expensive data Unkage requirements between the campuses. This is indeed the case. One of the most exciting network developments today involves the planned installation of a Universityowned and operated microwave radio link between the Main Street and Amherst campuses. The system is a fully redundant digital microwave system that ca n support up to 6 MBPS of data ·or digitized voice tr.affic in bot~ directions at very low costs compared to leased telephone facilities. The microwave ]ink will enable substantially improved netw51'k support on the Main Street Campus. and high speed data access to the Computing Center facilitleso on the Amherst Campus. Installation is expecled to occur in the spring of ttiis year. Intercampus communications requirements extend beyond the UB campuses, and the University will soon b!;l installing the first links of a large network that ~II tie all of the SUNY campuses together by the summer of 1986. Initially, access to the State-wide network will be supported through the new 18M system and its n~work. Eventually all of the UB networks will be interconnected. These facilities will · supplement existing access to BITNET, the international university network for mail and small file transfer, as well as accesS"to NYSERNET, a projected high speed S,tate-wide network with access to the National Supercomputer Centers. 30 characters per second Over the intervening years. however, skyrocketin!,l telephone costs and requirements for ever h1gher transmiSSIOn rates provided compelling reasons for the University to deploy and operate its own data commumcations networks. These networks, now valued at about $2 million, support over 1,000 attached devices with transmission rates ranging from 1200-2400 BPS (120 to 240 characters per second) for terminal-like devices to 10,000,000 BPS (lO MBPS, or mega bits per second) for high performance microcomputer workstations and larger computers. The largest and best known UB network is the DCA network. DCA stands for Digital ·communications Associates. the designer and manufacturer of the-multiplexing and switching systems that are the network building blocks. The DCA network IS designed primarily to support communications between terminals or m1crocomputers emulating terminals and large mainlrame computers. In particular, the network is designed for lhe relatively_low transmission rates and relatively short bursts of trafhc that are characteristic of human operators at typ1cal Interactive terminals. Today, the DCA network has over 1500 ports scattered over the three UB campuses and enables communications . between any connected office or de~ice and any of the University's major computing resources. These include seven DEC VAX's, two Prime computers. two large Con!r()l Data mainlrames and the Sperry admm1Sirat1ve . system. Two major nodes have been a9ded 1n the Computing Center to make the IBM/3081 system.and the VAX Cluster accessible on the DCA network Further into the luture. we expect to be able to support general access to such services as an on-line library card catalog We are also now working on plans to increase transmission rates from the 1200-2400 BPS supported today to at least 4800 BPS and possibly" 9600 BPS. W1th the arnval of the IBM system an entirely new mode of synchronous communication will be introdoced to the University, the so-catted 3270 protocol. This is the primary mode of communication access to an IBM system. Over the next 12 months this mode will be installed in all principaf administrative offices on both campuses. The means of communications consist of a 3044 channel extender fiber optics link attached to 3274 communications controllers and/or 7171 protocol converters. (If you didn't know yet, IBM specializes in four digit numbers to identify its equipment products.) The latter will allow ASCII type terminals to communicate with the IBM system in full screen mode. This mode of comm~nication will also be used·to facilitate access of the growing number of IBM PC's and XT's to the IBM system . In cases like these, the computer vendor provides standard multiplexors and communications processors that form the network building blocks and the University provides the data transmission facilities between the devices. For the most part, these facilities are conventional twisted-pair or coaxial cables that are installed and maintained by the University. Since the DCA network and all of the devices attached to it also need interconnecting cables. the size of the University owned cable network is rapidly grow1ng. II included welt over 50 miles of cable at last count and we plan to install at least another 25 miles over the nrxt six to 12 months. Next to the DCA network the University is also developing several ETHERnet local area networks (LANs) ETHERnet is based on a multiple access protocol running at a speed of 10 MBPS. II connects both computers and VT 100 compatible terminals through terminal servers and facilitates high speed multiple user access to all computers. The ETHERnet IS the principal communications access to the VAX computers. At present two ETHERnets are in place. one in Bell Hall and one in Furnas Hall. Both are linked via .a fiber optiCS repeater system. The Computing Center will bouse the third ETHERnet which will be joi,ned via a fiber optic C hanges in Academic Computing · Instructional computing and research computing wil~undergo many changes in the next few months. The main issues will be the conversion from the two CDC Cyber computers to the IBM and VAX Cluster, and the associated user orientation and training in a large range of new software, laser printing, and· high performance scientific computing. The lease on our two Control· Data Corporation CYBERs will terminate in July, and the lease on our Ridge Lea headquarters expires soon after. There should be no expectation on the part of anyone that th& CYBER lease can be extended. All the funds ·which currently go toward that lease are committed to pay for the new equipment. Furthermore, there is no space left in the new machine room to house the CYBERs. There is a small benefit in not moving the CYBERs to the Computing Center: there will be no interruption in service for the remainder of the CYBER's lifetime. User conversion to the IBM or VAX machines must take place in two phases: first, preparation of data so that it is transportable; second, installation of the data on the new system. Everyone should be preparing his or her data for transportation now. This is the most difficult and time-consuming part of the conversion. We witt be offering many workshops to assist users with their binary and other internally formatted data. Users with SPSS Save Files and tapes with CDC internally coded data should be most concerned. We have developed a number of tools to simplify the process of moving text files to either of the two machines. For those who plan to. compute on the VAXs, the lransfE)r of data to the new machines is possible now. The IBM system will be available for campus access by March 1. For those who plan to be away during the summer and also move to the IBM �~--------UNIVERSITY COMPUTING S-ERVICES Cluster appears to operate like one large system, the window of time will be very short, computer with many processors which can just three months. . . operate concurrently.

Following this strategy a general plan of action has been formulated for the three-)tear . transition. All existing development projects will be completed between April and July 1986. These were started about two years ago with the aim .of implementing clearly structured systems in data base technology. ~!though the major administrative systems..will contim~e to run on tbe Sperry until earJy 1988, staff effprt will t?e restricted to maintenance and criycal need •changes only. Training in the new IBM MVS operating system and ADA database products will be carried out in the March to May 1986 timeframe and involve UCS staff only. Training in end user tools (i.e. inquil)1 report generator capabilties, and microcomputer data downloading) will follow in Spring 1986. Beginning July 1986, 16 members of the Administrative Computing Staff will be assigned to transition activit1es while five others will be assigned to mandated maintenance. The review and reimplementation of all applications will be completed-by December 1988. To achieve this, user task groups will be formed; they will review. update, and approve functions and features; they will also define data elements and recommend the order to be followed in implementation to the Admimstrallve Computing Advisory Commtllee. The advisory comm1ttee will in turn present llheir recommendations to Vice President Robert J Wagner The replacement of Student Service systems Will beg1h in Spring 1987 with Pre-AdmiSSions. followed in order by Admissions, Student Demographics, Registration, Student Permanent Records, Financial Aid, Student Billings, and Housing. the last to be completed by December 1988. Financial systems will be provided as common applications by SUNY Central The first is expected to be Personnel. followed by Payroll , Budget. and Accounting. The target start of installation is not spec1fied yet; however, all of them must be completed by December t 988 as well. All new applications will be developed using data management mellhodology and on-line full screen capability; together these will provide the University with many benefits Data Management will ensure minimal data . redundancy, eliminate data inconsistency, provide better data Integrity, improve applications integration, reduce program maintenance efforts, 1mprove data security, and permit easier report generation. On-line full screen access to data will provide timely access to consistent information, eliminate lhe large volume of batch reports that are presently needed , invest cohtrol of day-to -day operations in !he departments, and eliminate duplication of data collection. The other planned benefits of the transition · include: (1) the creation of local and State-wide computer networks, (2) the ability to upload and/ or download data between all nodes 1n the network whether local or elsewhere in the State. and (3} access to special services such as laser printing and typesetting, word processing, ·and electronic mail. o This article was pre_pared with contributions from Dennis Henneman Director of Operations James Whitlock,Manager of Data Communications Jay Leavitt Director of Academic Computing Charles Molt, Director of Administrative Computing �the Classics Rock .

US's Department Of Theatre and Danae, Niagara University , O'Youville, and Studio Arena Theatre. People are knock· ing themselves out to supply quality theatre, film. and v1deo in this area ; we have a wealth of talented actors, singers, and dancers What we can do is focus on the performmg arts and 1n effect be a public service to people Interested in those arts. be it tllm , theatre. or v•deo.'' B lossom Cohan from the StudiO Arena Theatre comments, " I think WBFO does a fine JOb and • I think Sound&tage is a good program . Bob is p'robably one of the beSt Interviewers I have ever come across because he's always knowledgeable and aware of whom he's Interviewing and who they are. I bring people mvolved in O\Jr productions to SOundstage to give them exposure and build Interest on the part of the audience."' Listeners may wonder how an aural medium like radio can be successful in presenting._ visual performing arts such as Broadway product•ons and films.

The purpose of his· teachings. says Hendricks. is to "acquaint those who don't know jazz; to enlighten those who know something; and to deepen the interest of those who want to know."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The executive budget proposal for 1986-87 pr~sented to the Legislature last Wednesday by Governor Mario M. Cuomo not only ignores UB's request for 103 new academic positions, but also cuts last year's level of funding for salaries by over $700.000 and imposes a h1gher savings factor. both of which would restrict the number of jobs that can be filled. Vice President E.W. Doty told the UB Council Thursday that these proposals. if im plemented by the Legislature, would mean that UB would have to operate with -45 to 50 fewer filled positions than we have righ t now. ~ even after 34 new positions approved in maintenance are factored in. rhe current vacancy rate runs between 45 and 50. meaning a total of 90-100 jobs would have to be left vacant. UB has 3,831 "authorized" positions under the budget.plan. SU Y Central. in addition, will have to cut 177 faculty and 51 support positions sys tem-wide if the Governor's proposal becomes law. It remai ns to be setn whether UB will be given any sha re of these. Finally, Doty said. there is a 52.5 mil· lion system-wide reduction to be distributed to the campuses based on early retirements. ··our share of th i~ is probably S300,000 again in salary dollars and again means more vacant posuion . ·· Cuomo's 1986-87 budget propo~al adds ve little, cuts UB's base While UB's h1ghest priority for 1986-87 wa. additional faculty and staff for programs in engineering and medical education, the Governor drafted his fiScal plan wi~h other priorilies in mind. Doty poanted out. Cuomo identified these in the antroduction to SU Y's portion of the executive budget: I. To augment private sector support for programs thdt directly contribute to shared public and pnvate goals: 2. To identify steps that can be taken to reduce costs or enhance revenues for both regular and hospital operations: 3. To provide staff and support necessary to operate facilities scheduled to open during the year: and 4. To improve the securit y of students and State employees on University campuses. Since the priorities didn't match. the fundi ng didn't either. On the positive s-ide\ Doty reponed to the Council. there is Sl million in unrestricted suppon for basic engineering equi pment U Y-wide: UB's share will probably be S250.()ll0-S300.000. "There is $1.5 mi llion for what is called a research and engineering equipment challenge grant program," Dotycon tinued. Details haven't been spelled out yet but , he said, "the ~eneral idea is that for every 52 of contnbution we get from the outside for engineering or research equipment, $1 UB will have to operate with 45 to 50 fewer filled positions. -E.W. DOTY will be supplied from this fund on a I to 2 matching basis."Tbere is also a full $5.7 million in support for the first-yellr increment of a comprehensive upgrade of SUNY's computer systems. "We at Buffalo have a reasonable share of th at fund .'' the vice president indicated. On the capital side, Doty ou tlined, continued equipment funding is recomm~nded for our various construction pro• jectS. "pretty much as needed and hoped for." including S28.7 million for the fine arts building. "This adds to the S3.3 mil· lion already allocated as plannin$ fund· ing and lrrings the total to $32 million." he no ted. Planning for that building is we ll underway wit h Gwa t~m ey-Siegal of New York City and Scaffidi and Moore of Buffalo having been selected as the architects, he said. Despite its omissions. Do1y said. the State budget is a very large one with ·•a very large commitment to public higher ed ucation by the taxpayers of the State." T he total proposed U B budget of S 156.33 1.500 represents an increase of overS 1.59 million 1985-86, but i;some 56.8 million under the $163. 1 million sought for this campus in the . U:-.IY budget request. Overall. t 1 Governor asked for a 7.5 per cent hike ove r last yea r's State budget to a total S41.3 billion. Here's how the University's requesrs were trimmeO: Where U B had requested S4.4 million in personal service satar) adjustments. it received 52.531 million (thi is the area in which the increased savings come into play). For price increases. UB asked for $783,000 and received · S509.500. Increases >ought fo r supplies and equipment, telephones. and postage were cut sharply. SSO.OOO was similar!! slashed from a SIOO.OOO requested increase for busing services: Only a req uested increase ol $211,800 for library acq uisitions was allowed in full. The physical plant received only about hall of $167.300 requtl.ted for operation of ne" facilities. It was in the area of .. program changes ... however. that UB was most significantly cut. In addition to denying all 103 new academic positions that had been requested and trimming last year's pcrsonal services budget by $714.000. Cuomo's budget plan includes o nly 29 of 46 positions requested for maintenance and operation of new facilities. Five addit<onal positio~s sought in Public afety were included. however. The only other increase in program funding requested by the Governor is an additional$125.000 in operating monies for new facili ties. UB had also sought additional operating funds for: several other areas. • See Budget. page 2 A little money for the region 's fXXXUTlt growth would be .helpful. The budget seems to undermine chances for SUNY to ·be more 'flexible.' -STEVEN SAMPLE -WIUIAM GREINER �.l-r21.1- v--. 11, No. 11 Budget From page 1 W hile Doty sees the si.tuation as limiting .hiring, Provost William Greiner told the Council he views the budget document as freezing out any chance SUNY might have for fiscal'nexibility in its first year Of operations under legislation designed to prOvide more freedom of OJl:C'ration. The tight budget ·•undermines flexibility. ·• Greiner said. · President· S teven B. Sample. while acknowledging that the bud get plan is not as bad as some ot hers of recent memory,''llgreed that it . does spell ~t­ tightenmg here. He hopes U B 1; spared any part of the addi tio nal system-wide reductions since these are supposedly. for .... campuses not ·meeting their enrollment· targets. "We have been stable in enrollments,"the President saitl. Although the "new budget calls for~ reduClion or enrollment in the health sciences here. he indicated, there should be no additiolial cuts in that area because UB has been tradi" -\ . tionally understaffed there. ln fact, Sample expressed concern that Phase II of a three-year plan to achieve stalling parity in the health sciences had been ignored in the Governor's budget propo~al. Twenty-six clinical medical faculty and 23 medical staff had been requested this year toward thai end. Last year, Phase I of the parity effort was not ineluded in the Governqr's plan. either, but lobbying by the Western New York legislative delegation helped secure the necessary funding in the final budget. A si milar legislative program is planned this yea r, Sample said in response to a question from Council Chairman Robe rt Koren . This year, however, top priorit y will110 to restorin~ the redu~tion in base. ·the President'.... said. Clinical medicine, engi nee ring, and research group funding will be the nex t priority, he added. Jn add ilion to the increaseS for clinical medicine, UB had sought four engineering faculty and 20 cngi neeriJ!8 staff (including. some for organized r~search). . The President had alsQ requested stan-up fundiqg for leveraged research groups, expected to become sclf-suppoltin"g o~er ' the nex I several years. Sample called the exclusion or th is funding especially "disappointing." "We have undertaken to .be a part of the rebuilding of this area, .. he said. " We had our heart set on increased support for both engineering and these research development groups which ·offer such. great promise, but no support i_s offered. As a State, we put lots of money into welfare and Medicare, and that's importa nt, but a liule money in eco nomi c development would be appropriaJe." In a move indirectly related to UB, the Governor elsewhere in his budget pro· posed a doubling or fundil\g for the Western New' York Economic Development Corporation. citing the Universitfs relationship to the business community as o ne of the promising elements for rc-co very in the region. S t\•eral Council members suggestedthat UB had been "done-in" budgetarily to the benefit of Stony Brook·. but both Sample and Dot y cautioned against this son of "u -them" approach .to the situation.

The University did not initiate the idea: it simply ·responded. President Steven B. ample said this week. "That doesn't mean we're not enthusiastic abou t the idea; we arc enthusiastic about working with all the local school districts.'' Sample told the UB Council. The President's clarification of U B's role in the matter came in response to recent articles and leiters from civil rights and teachers groups. Opponents of the plan have suggested that the University_ is orchestrating the effort to develop two specialized high schools on campus- one for science and anotheremphasrz:ing crit. ical and analytical thinking. Opponents con tend such schools arc elitist and would siphon money and nonminority students away from existing schools, leaving the traditional schools monetarily -.yeakened and more anfl more black. " We don't tell sc hool districts how to run i.heir sc hools, .. the President went on. "Wesupl?ort their initiatives to help them solve their problems .

By JOSE LAMBIET T he presence at UB of students who secretly moni tor soQte of their professo~ for leftist biases and send th'etr findmgs to a Washington D .C.-based organization called Accuracy in Academia (AlA) has caused a controversy on and ~ff campus si nce last November. · •· AlA is an .organization aimed at · insuring students that they receive accurate and fair information in the Classroom, " declared Its natiOnal president John Lc Boutillier. "The type of teacher we have problems"with is the ooe whQ deviates from the coUrse description, or the one who preaches a certain political ... point of view. Other teachers reward students who agree wit h them and punish studenu who disagree wit~hem. That is ..what we ar~ against. ' added Le Boutillier. " If a profess<?r talks about the greatness of Marxism, he should also mention that Marxism is a corrtplete economic failure , We do not pressure anybody.

Of course. we verify the information and we make sure that the students are telling the truth. Then, we get in touch with the professor in question.

GS·A President Rick Mooney said that the resolution was written before the semester. noted that "'"the only thing that would bother me as a professor is the idea that secret tapes or notes arc being made.

" What is really the problem is thi secrecy garbage. Be open. If one has a problem with a professor, then one should bring it up and have an open discussion about it, n he added. The Student Association assembly passed a similar resolution one month later, after an article in the Buffalo Nell's on December 8, 1985, mentioning the presence of AlA on campus.

Reporter: Do you think that AlA is the answer to the probl<m? JOHN: Newsletters such as the ones AlA puts ·out should help students know what they are getting into. AlA does not want to intim.id"tc people, but to i~form students. Reporter: What do you think about the reaction to AlA?

His argument rehashes the enrichment expo~re to ideas, then about personal usual cliches"a nd sinks to depths of ~t lcctual vulgarity uncommon even from ovcrnment officials. Despite his good intentions. the end-result of Bennett's advocacy of the art s is a ' further weak ening of the appeal o f the humanities to our young students. Therein lie!~ an impouant moral. Most educators don't find jt difficult to ex plain to undergradufiirs why Shakespeare's tragedie s arc worthy objecb o f study. This is how our Secretary of Education chooses to make the case: If you ....·am w hr a corporate ruc wh•t>, how can ycm lt'am ahow nut missing tlu.· ri~ht oppurtuniti~s?

Thus Secretary Bennett fulfills the responsibilities entrusted to his leadership. Perhaps he did not read KinK Lear C!lrefully enough. My initial response to this son of vandalism was to extend Bennett's method of analysis to the rest of the world's great literature. Want to learn about the hazards of sea travel? Read Moby Dick. Want to experience the possible career set-bacb of military service? Read War and Peace. or c;vei'l better. The Iliad. Want to learn how to trash a great poet? Read ..The Lure of Learning." But my contempt for Bennett's reduction of great art to the category of cautionary tales for the young executive soOn gave way to troubled questions abou t the plight of the arts in today's educational institutions. Have we actually reached the ·point wherel'f.he humanities must be offered to our students in this degrading manner'! If so. wouldn\ it be better for them to perish outright than to serve such a debased purpose? Or, is it possible the humanities are suffering because of pseud<Hiefende(s like Mr. Bennett? I believe the latter is the case. N ow more than ever the humanities need capable defenders. Bad news arrives almost every day, it seems. describing the deteriorating state of the arts in our schools. A commissioned study appears in Chronicle of Higher Education which reveals that the number of English majors (never very high) has decli ned nearly three· fold in only 15 years. The same repon nr. lliEiiill'~ :~~~~~~,M·······~~··-~ shows an even sharper drop in majors in.Joreign languages. ~nd implies the im ~inenl extinction of such programs in all but the most prestigious schools.

Here at "Buff Tee h.·· of course. the number of entering freshmen planning to major in the literary arts is almost too infinilesimal to measure. Something must be done. ' We cannot, however. afford to leave the defense of the ans tO State functionaries and institutional officials. for that is only ro worsen the problem. Secretary Bennett's patronizing attitude damns Shakespeare with the faintest possible praise and insures his neglect. What young student is going to bother with Macbeth if all he or she can expect is a warning about "the dangers of overweeni ng ambition'! A bureaucrat's first obligation is to the &tate. and so he will limit his defense of the human ities to their supposed . usefulness within a given social context. He will subordinate the arts to some utilitarian function. such as st rengthening -a citizen's patriotism or polishing an engineer's conve~ation . What he won't do is to present the arts as what they so obviously are - a potent and unpredictable force for change in the world, an exploratory power arising from the human spirit that acknowledges no final allegiance to institutions. authorities, or dogmas. T he trouble with artists (from the official viewpoint) is that they· don't always appear to be very good citizens. They have an irritating way of saying unflattering things about ourselves. our institutions, and our aspirations. They tend to be sceptical of the myths we project to stabilize our societies and validate our behavior. It's no surprise that the most advanced states have found it expedie nt to take action against their greatest poets: Jerusalem against Jeremiah, Athens against Socrates, Rome against Ovid. Florence against Dante. Paris against Voltaire, and Moscow against Solzhenitsyn. James Joyce's reward for showing hos fellow Dubliners their spiritual condition was a lifetime of exile. This perennial conflict between artist and state is quite understandable: for it is in the nature of states (o promote stability, cultivate consensus. and insist on a measure of compliance from their Artists. on the other ·hand, are prone to raise embarrassing questions. cause division of opinion. and generally SJir things up. Writers, in particular. possess a power frightful to\lhe state. Bca·umarchais writes 77Jt Marriage of Fi11aro and helps spark the French Revolution. Harriet Beecher towe "rites Unci~ Tom :r Cahin and galvauizes a nation in opposition to slavery. A wary and susp1cious accommodation is probably tbe best working relationship artists and statesmen can hope to sustain. An Important factor in the decline of the humanities in our educational institutions. then. is the faint· heanedness of some would-be defende111. Our students deserve to know the full range and power of the humanities. the ex tent to which the arts have made us what we are and will make u what we are to become. Our young people are ill-served by apolo~tsts such as ~illiam Bennett who, an their pursuit of relevance. emasculate that power and enslave it to some trivial purpose. They need to be told the truth: that the humanities have the capacity to change them in fundamental ways- and not necessarily· into contented and productive careerists. citizen!~ . thty hope to aitract. Bennett' adulterated version of Shakespearean tragedy insult a great anist and (more imponantly) belittles our tu'dents. Reading Shakespeare or Do toev ky or Kafka "ill not make them more uccessful around the office. Reading the Book of Job or Montaogne's Es arJ "'-ill cenainly not. transform them into better citi1en or busines partners. And. anyone who takes up a novel by Tol>toy or Faulkner in the expectation of "enriching" his or her social i111agc is in for disappointment. In fact. the ans may make them more volaule. less predictable. more ill-at-ease wilh reeeived ideas and dogmas - indeed, may cause a measure of alienation or estrangement. Students may suddenly find their energies re-<lirected and their priorities re-arranged. So be it. Our hunger for art is too deeply· engrained to be eelipsed. The humanities will reestablish thm centrality in our educational systems when we free them from the demeaning roles forced upon them by their instiiutional defenders. And students will be receptive when they are told trutltfully what art is. Those of u.s involved directly in the advancement of the humanities have an obligation to make sure that message is delivered correctly and forcibly .

However, U B · faculty are more satisfied with their salar· ies and teaching loads than were their colleagues across the co unt ry . . Those are s<rme of the conclusioos of UB leaders who !'Ompared the Carnegie · survey with thtir estimations of feelin&£1 on this campus. · • . · . · The Carnegie report fou'nd that there's a pervasive uneasiness among faculty members over the state of academe -and the state or their ta~;EeJs. according to an article in the Dec. 18. 1985 issue of The Chronicle of Higher. £dw·ation. The U B Quality of Campus Life Survey . was conducted by Ytctor Doyno. associate professor of English. and Lester W. Milbrath. director of the Environmental Studies Center and a professor of political science. · ~ In the U B study. "We d!tected a kind of listlessness o r malaise," Milbrath ex plained. "Malaise ·is a good word. Apparently it's not just characteristic of this campus, but is nation-wide. I don' understand it fully, but it's there. "Clearly, many- if not a majority, then a significant minority- feel disenchanted with hig,her education and their ro le in it... · The faculty are disappointed because the universities don't hvc up to their expectations, he said. Milbrath noted that about half of the faculty across the country reported being apprehens-ive about the country's future:. "That says something," he stated. "It's not just a disenchantment with our own institution. or higher education. but with society as a whole. " T he data in the Carnegie ~urvey constitut ed worri somr evidence of dissatisfaction over an apparent lack of ·•community'' at the institutions surveyed. noted Ernest L Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation and former SUNY chancellor. "That's strongly apparent here." M<l· brath agreed. "That was one of our major findings." There are .. mini~ommunities" in the professional schools, but the faculty in the "core" campus really miss the feeling of community, he said . A related question on personal faculty relations would find even a higher percentage of UB faculty disSatisfied than was true nation-wide, in his opinion. Milbrath also agreed that most facu lty members feel they don't have an innuence on their institution's policies. Boyer suggested that institution need to invest in the .. human capital" on cam~ pus, spending more money on things such as classroom in no at ion and professional traveL ·"These were strong points here." Mil ~ brath sfi id. "There's not sufficient oppor· Iunity ror rrofessio nal development. .. Lack o secretarial help and travel money were prominent concerns at UB. Faculty feel they arc hampered by lillie frustrations that accumulate into an overwhelming package. Milbrath foun~ . About half of the faculty surveyed tn the Carnegie study said their institution has serious financial problems, and faculty here would agree with that. Milbrath said . When the U B survey was sent out in early 1984, financial problems here were severe he noted . There was much disenchant~ent as well as severe anger with the SUlte Division of Budget. "It has improwed since then , but l~t's not kid ourselves, " he said. "We don) have the help we need." Milbrath referred again to secretarial suppon and travel money. University travel money doesn '1 even cover a quarter of what is needed if a faculty member wants to be professionally active, he maintains. It can be done on a grant, but in some areas, it's nearly impossible to get a grant. B faculty would also agree with faculty U on the state or their libraries, said Claude Welch, chair· oation~wide man of the Faculty Senate. In the Carne· gie survey, about 38 per cent of faculty at research universities say their libraries are the same as they wer~ five years ago. and 26 per cent say they're worse. The library situation was bad here five years ago because of State funding for· mulas. ow, faculty would say it's no bener or is worse because parts of the ·libraries. such as subscriptions to journals that were canceled, have been lost. Welch said. One area where U B opi nion would differ from that nation-wide is in the area of salaries, Milbrath said. About 56 per cent of fat:ulty at research universities rated their salaries fair br poor. "We had few complaints about salary here." Milbrath said. " It's beller here than nation-wide. " Teaching load was also perceived as beuer here than as renected in the Carnegie study, he noted.

Most false alarms are trig~ gered at the pull boxes. However, the Amherst fire alarm office: which dispatches the various volunteer fire companies in the area. will act immeidately to any repon of a fire .it receives over t,he telephone. Until recently, the fire al8rm system on the Am her t Camp us had been connected directly to the Amherst fire alarm office. If the office received an alarm from a pull box. it first would notify UB's Public Safety. Public Safety would then deter- mine if there was. a real fire and. in tufn, notify the alarm office. Now, the delay will be handled at UB, Hunt said. The alarm office asked that the pull boxes be connected directly to Public Safety. The UB officers will check out an alarm, then notify the Amherst alarm office. Without the delay, Getzvilie. the volunteer fire company that covers the Amherst Campus, would be answer-ing more than 100 calls a year if it responded to everv false alarm. Hunt said.

This is the first time in a generation that the shorts have been available in 35nun, allowing Chaplin's comic genius to be rediscovered in a way impossible until now. Film Historian Kevin Brownlow says: "To call this the Coup of the Century r:nay, even in filmcollecting terms, sound an unpardonable exaggeration. But what can compare with it? ... Collectors had hailed the discovery of the occasional lost Keysto ne comedy in which Chaplin played, but nobody had the slightest idea that somewhere in England, somewhere in France, and somewhere in the United States lay three separate treasure troves of silent film that would. for the fU"st time, reveal the working methods of the greatest si ngle figure of the cinema. '" This retrospective was mounted by Kino International Corporation, and was launched on June 10, 1984 at Landmark's NuAn Theatre in Los Angeles and on July 3, 1984 in New York as a nine-week attraction at Joseph Papp's Public Theatre. In addition to Los Angeles and New York , the Chaplin retrospective has played at the Castro TheaHe in San Francisco, the Neptune in Seattle, the Brattle in Cambridge, the Walker An Center in Minneapolis, and 20 other cities during the fall and winter of 1984-1985. q 0 ~· .

The April 5 ce remony will honor Wil· lard A. Genrich. cha ncellor emeritus of the State Board of Regents and a mef'(lber of the board (the guiding agency for the State"s Ed.ucation Department) for 12 yea rs. For II years prior to that. Genrich was an unsalaried director of the Ne\\ York State Higher Education Assistance Corporation. among other public service activities. Genrich is being honored for his "'devotion to excellence ... [which] has had a profound impact on stude nts at all levels of education in this State and even beyond .'" Under his di rection, New York State took a leadershi p role in addressing second ary school deficiencies which have plagued the nation and were the su bject of an explosion of reports earlier in the 1980s. In the wake of the result ing Regents• Action Plan of 1984. the State has begun workirig toward raisiog the sta nda rds of st ud ent competency, improving teac her effe•ctive ness. and strengthening stud ent testing. The plan is considered the most comprehensive one for the improve ment of elementary and seco ndary education in the nation. Equally far reaching improvements have been realized for New York's post-secondary education during Genrich 's tenure, according to the nominatio n for his honorary degree. Among these strides are increased access to college for studenb with limited financial capacities. financial aid for part-time t udents. improved doctoral program~ as a result of a State-wide review of such programs. and an ex t'ensivc investigation of illegal medical practice related to fraudu iCnt credentials. A special pro· gram has also been implemented to pro· vide financial incentives to qualified students who enroll in teacher education curricuht and agree to t.each in the State after completing their educations- this ~a:~~e~~~\~ ~e~~~~:~~ ~:e ~:~~ece and A lawyer by training. Mr. Genrich received both hjs Paccala urcate and law degrees at the private Univers.ity of Buffalo. Being honored at May commencements here are: · Dr: Brian MacMahon (Doctor of Science). considered to be the founder of epidemiology. His resea rch led to metho· dological ad vances in the study of many di sease<. including Hodgkin's Disease and breast cancer, and has set the course of ·expansion of the entire field. Dr. MacMahon is Prof$uo r of Epidemiol· · ogy at Harvard. Dr. John Brooks Slaughter (Doctor of Science), chancellor of the University of Maryland at !=ollege Park. Before accepting the Maryland . post in 1982, Dr. Slaughter was director of the National Science Foundation, where he regulated and upheld standards for scientific research and education. He is committed to expanding minority participation in the sciences. D Back to the books -to-___ Sludentaln drop· lldd .....

JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI he describes herself as "consultative" by instinct; a perso n who wants "'in put" and likes to know the "possi bilit ics" before making a decision. S he is also a firm believer in 1he " Pygmalion effect," meaning th at she feels if you let people know that you ljelieve· in their a bility to do a good job. they often perform according to your expectations. The University Libraries have changed guard . In troducing Barbarli' Von Wahlde, formerly .acting associate direc- • S tor for public services' and 4l$sociate direc. tor for tet hn ical·services at the University · of Michigan. now director of the UB Libraries. Von Wahlde. who arrived in Buffalo during· a deep freeze earlier thi~ mon\h \ but is willing tp_''take it on faith .. that the area has more to offe r than falling temperatures. seems well equipped profe>Sionally and experientially for her new post. Besides her five-year tenure at Michigan. during the past 20 years she has worked at Yale as staff development coordinato r and sr.ecial assistant to its acting university hbrarian; as associate director f..or technical processes at the niversity of West Florida: as head of the Catalog Depanment at the University of Southern Mississippi. and as a bibliographic con trot consultant at the Universi ty of Maine. She also has been an assistant documents librarian at Indiana Universi ty. where She received her undergraduate degree (majoring in education; history and English) and her M.A. in library ~ciencc:, and was a reference librarian in a public library in Bloomington. By her own admission . her expertise and career adva ncem ent have not been the exclusive result of natural talent; staff development prOgrams and mcntoring have played impo nant roles in her progression in a profession, that, ironically, is dominated by females. but where most senior level positions are typically .occupied by males. , The development programs (to which she applied) that have had the mos t significant impact on her career include a 1974-75 management intern program sponsored by the Library Resources Cou ncil in which she worked at the U niversity of Tennessee at Knoxville; a 198384 program sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries/ Office of Man- agement Studies Cons ultant Training. and a Senior Fellow Program held at UCLA last summer. 11te programs were · designed to "train people ' who have admi nist rative talent and give them a closer understandin~ of. admi nistration through working wuh a director or a group of associa\e directors," s he explains. ~ on Wahlde was one of the lirst live participants in the UCLA program. which essen tially studied issues of concern to library administrators, enabling panicipants to be better groomed, so to speak. for higher level duties. B ecause Von Wahlde has been mentored formally and informally by both men and women, she feels uncomfonable with the notion that she- the lirst female director of the University Libraries- should focus on mentoring other women. altho ugh she knows that there are at least two groups of female library administrators who feel strongly about this issue. 14 1 have a divided opi ni on on il," she admits. '' I've known some fema les who are terrific at supJ.>otling and encoura(ting women and givmg them insights mto what it means to be an administrator. And that's helpful: I like that and I th ink it's good. But I'm not sure that it should be so exclusive." As she pursues lhe goals which she has already formulated . Von Wahlde says her administrative style will be "open." " I truly believe that people have good id eas. and tbe more you can learn from others the better. A person is often limited by his or her own experiences and perspectives. Therefore, ~think there's a real value to get comments from others. Thal will be my style in the Libraries. working both internall y and externally. " Von Wah lde guesses th at s he will eventually . gather a small group of special advisors composed of four to ten people from whom she plans to solici t opinions regularly. A willingness to communicate with others has "always been my style." she notes, one that was fostered by previous employers. From a pragmatic perspective. she finds it work.s. .. It's easier for peopl; to understand what is going on in terms of directions and decisions. They may not like what's happening, but they can't say they don' know why they are doing a particular thing. I lind people work better with more knowledge about what you are trying to achieve. That's why it is important to have well articulated and communicated goals." t was not difficult for UB's newest directo r to formulate at least initial goa ls. The intcrvie~ process she experienced here gave her a clear understanding abou t what was expected from her f.y the campus community in general and the Libraries staff in particular. One thing is certain: She will move wi th alacrity to "reaffirm " the Libraries' place and role on campus, at the sa me time making sure that users know the Libraries are there to serve t hei r needs. Michigan's libraries. she relates, are " highly regarded" and are "viewed as cenlral to the role of faculty and students I along with teaching and research. ~ Faculty and students expect a certain . level of quality there and are disappointed if you do not meet their needs. They are often demanding and look for services that other libraries arc only beginning to think about offering." The suppon given to Michigan's libraries was not merely 'lip service, however, but was b~ ed by funding. "It wasnTalways necessarily easy to get money. because there were other competitors for reso urces." (Sound familiar?) .. But there was a tr.ue respect and acknowledgeme.nt of the libraries from the whole uni versity. Consequently. you did not have to do a great deal of selli ng to administration there ... s he notes. This leads to Von Wahld e's tw~ other aniculated goals: to lind out if"resource~ are adequate for the Libraries to su ppori the University in the manner faculty and students de ire." and to ensu re that the Libraries are "moving in a timely. and appropriate fashio n with rega rd to the goals of the entire University." Parallel goals are necessary. she insists, si nce both the University and the Libcaries can profit from the "synergy" that can be developed. In attempt ing""l'd achieve her seCo nd goal, the new director plans to meet with ... librarians who work ciQSely with facu lty ,:.. • a nd students. " We don't have to have eve ry book ever published in th is building,"she elab- .. o rates, " but we must guarantee that users · have at least easy access through groups w\ have reciprocal relationships with ,·· sucft as the Research Libraries Group, Inc. ( RLG ). udging from her background 'and work experience, Vqn Wa hlde1seems ready to tackle her new job. In her former position. for insta nce, she is credited with helping to implement an innovative cataloging program; supervisi ng the installation of an au tomated acq uisitions system~ administering and s uppo rting a new preservations program: reorganizing the libraries' technical services area to use RLIN 11. an automated informat ion retrieval system used by RLG , a nd establishing a locator service. a .. public service" point in technical services to help users locate in-process materials. to name a few accom plish ment s. Von Wahlde also knows the pressures involved in working at a nationally recognized research institution. one considered the "premier" university oft he state syste m in Michigan and o ne touted by the business and financial comm unity for its posi tive im pact on the state. Michigan. in short , is where U8 wan IS to be in the next decade o r two. UB's new director of University Libraries stands waiting to help us get there. 0 J Spectrum seeks fiscal aid from student government By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO ht Spectrum. the UB student T newspaper that has prided itself on its mdependence from student governments, is planning to give up its financial independence in return for fiscal help from the Undergraduate Student Association (SA). the Graduate Student Association (GSA), and Sub-Board I.

The parties involved have come up with a three-year plan. SA and GSA have indicated they will support an increase in the mandatory tu~ent fee ofSI per person each semester for a minimum of three years to help the paper. SA will send the question to a referendu·m on March 12. 13. and 14.

" Who knows? Maybe lhen it can be the paper it should be," he said. If anyone has questions about the agreement or referendum. he added, The Spectrum staff would like to answer them. T he Offices of Student Affairs and Finance and Management are invol ved in the agreement because representatives of those offices meet about twice a year with organizations that have financial operations on campus. such as The Spectrum, IRCB. and the Schussmeisters Ski Club. Black said. The two offices try to keep track of these organizations since they use State facilities. B It has been the University's stand that this is a student organization problem, not a University problem, Black said. It was left up to the !ijude'lS to work out a plan. The office replesentatives will simply help monitor it. Whetherthe plan materialize$ depends on a number of factors, including Lhe outcome of the referendum, he added. 0 �.1.-y2J,1Volullle 17, No.11 this tbe socially powwlels group in 19dlcentury IOCiely.lllteme areas. body natching was so prewlent that many peupen and str.ea were acutely awwe that burial in potter's fields (paupen' graveyards) was a mockery whenever anatomy eluscs were in session at nearby medical schools.

But body snatching, as it was called, was indeed engaged in from time to time by both medical tudents and physicians in those days. The early days of medicine in Buffalo are no exception. Contrasting stark.ly with today's orderly and respectful methods of methods of embalming did not increase anatomical knowledge because "mutilation" of the dead was forbidden.

Wh11e today's medical schools rely on body donation (the willing of one's body after death) and . the use of unclaimed bodies from public morgues, yesteryear's methods ranged from the use of bodies of executed criminals and Black slaves, to the once-thriving business of grave- and continued into the modem period.

The students added further pressure by publicly accusing their professors of inactivity or par.;imony when supplies were low. So physicians met their demand for specimens by grave-robbing. At first, the physicians and their apprentices themselves robbed 1he lt would be impossible to imagine medicine being taught today without medical students learning human anatomy through dissection or cadavers. Dissection is a basic discipline nf medicine, and the earliest to which a medical student is exposed. Nevertheless, untill846,the medical schools at Yale. Jeffer.an. Columbia. and the University of Pennsylvania conferred degrees without anatomy courses. In the misty ages before recorded body snatchers, ~urrectionist .sack'em-up men, and bogey men. Clever gangs could resurrect up to 400 corpses a year, bringing in 1500 guineas or S26,000 (in 1985 dollar.;) a year at a rateof$69 a body. Since more was paid for unburied bodies. grave robbers always carefully watched siCk, penniless, and homeless people unm they died . They also joined up with unscrupulous undertakers, who substituted heavy objects in the caskets, and split the fee. even set traps and spring guns. Demand became so great the resur~ rectionist gangs organized into unlicensed guilds that roamed the countryside on dark nigh!$. When the full moon shone, they either stayed home or drastk themselves into a stupor in the taverns. Some guilds even had monopolies on cenain cemeteries. This led to quarrels and even gang wars, including desecration of coffins. vandalizing of physicians' laboratories. violence, and police investigations. By Bruce S.

Dr. Hunter's servant niet the "body" guards in the ale house and fmally convinced them to switch stone for the body for the exorbitant {in 1783) price of $2,500. Thus the mortal remains of Charles O'Brien were conveyed to the doctor's home in the middle or the night for dissection.

With the relatives in an inebriated stupor. the loyal medical students lifted the giant's coffin onto a detached door and triumphantly marched out before the enraged relatives discovered the act.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The Senate also requested that the vice provost for undergr..tduate education. currently James Bunn, report regularly to the cnate's Educati onal Programs and Policy Committee on the progress of the college. The vice provost is to pay special attention to a list ot questions and con· cerns submitted by that committee. Now that the Faculty Senate has endorsed the plan, it will go to the President and provo!!.t. Bunn said. tmplemcn· tat ion will start in the fall of 1986. but, because of the complexity of the plan. different parts v. ill be implemented at diffcrcnt time~ . Thoma.) E. Head rieL . chai rma11 of the Educational l'rogram;, and Policy Committce that •tudied the proposal for the undergraduate college. outlined ho'' h~: think• the college "ill develop. Headrick said he sees the VIce provost for undergraduate ed.ucatio~ and the three deans of the Arts and Sctencc. taking the lead for developing the new entity. After that. senior faculty member~ would be enlisted to build a new curriculum. It will be a year before the fruits of that are seen, Headrick predicted. By the full of 1987. there should be a freshman class who will be enjoying a changed curriculum. Whether space can be found for a ccntral location for the college or whether something nc" would haYe to be built can be looked at in the next year or s.c. Headrick said. Another aspect of ' the college that co uld be stud1ed simultaneously would T be the problem of undergraduat e advisement. Headrick noted that since there are only about 13 advisors for about IJ.OOO students now, a solution will require some budgetary input. • H eadrick's committee summarized the plans for the college and outlined some areas of concern that the vice provost for undergraduate education has been asked to pay special attention to. These are: • What specific steps are planned to ~~u~ve;;;;e purpose of the college_ to the • What plans exist to find a central location for the college? • What changes arc planned in advisement? • What mech~tnisms wiU ensure that majors and minors programs won't be sacrificed for non-major programs? • How will college fellows, the core facult~ of the collcget be attracted and recruited" • What plans exis t to develop mot ivation and faculty commitment to the college? • A fund of $2 SO.OOO per year of ~·wa lking around money" will be crucial ~ct~~:;:~Y1 ~~:;~~n~~~~~~i\j ;;:~rf:;~~~ come from? • What kind of academic accounting ~ys tem is planned? How can the college a\ oid gett1ng ca.ught up in th e red Jape of I ·1.E.s? • How will the divided respo~sibilitics of faculty affect discretionary increases, reco mmendations for sabbatical leaves, - accCsj to secretarial support, and other similar matters? · D uring the discussion at the Faculty Senate meeting, one sena tor asked how this college could work while it seems general education has failed. Although the general education committee worked hard , the problem was that they were told to descnbe a curriculum. but weren't the faculty who would deliver it. answered Provost William Greiner. In the undergraduate college, a core . faculty -would not only develop the idea for a new curricull!m. but would develop the actual courses and teach them. he said. The core faculty is one of the key group• for the undergradua te college, he sa id . The others are the Council of Deans and the Faculty Senate with its Educational Programs and Policy Committee. "If the egroups don't buy into the idea, the college won't ny." Greiner said. Cah in Ritchie. professor of chemistry, argued that the draft proposal for the college is so sketchy that . there ·was nothing for the se nate to vote on. The administration could simply appoint a group of faculty members to work on a curriculum without approval from the Faculty Senate. What d oo med general education was that faculty members co.uldn't agree on what co nstitutes a ~>whole person" or what was needed for a liberal education, Ritchie said. "I don) think you've addressed the ba~ic problem, .. he said. . Hunn agreed that tht!re are few details in the draft since it is merely an enabling document. Appointing a committee to work on curriculum woUldn't solve the problems of undergraduate education because it is only. one aspect of undergraduate educa- tion. he said. There should be unity in undergraduate education. · For example. finding a location isn't merely a matter of finding a big con,tainer - for the college, Bunn said. It's finding a central location where there can be unified su pport services so students sec a seamless web of servlc.es. Presiden t Steven Sample commcntdd that while he personall~ would have preferred an arts and sciences college, he accepted· the facul ty's decision not to go that route. But he said h~ would be disappointed. even worried, if there was no undergraduate college. It's important for U B as a research university to have a stron'g program in "liberal, integral ) 'whole person' education," Sample noted. In other business: • The Facu lt y Senate Executive Committee sen t to the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee the I!!SUe of who. other than rcgi~1.ercd students. is allowed to attend classes. The committee is to have a report by the first week in February. · Dennis Malone, professor of electrical . and computer engineering. noted that there is a rule that instructors may eject a diSruptive person. . But the real question is what right an instructor has to know who is attending his class. he said . And a broader issue is whct!>er ab administrator ha>the right to attend a class unannounced . Malone said he can't find guidelines on th ose issues. It was reported recently that some student~ here have been secretly taw recording professors and reporting to Accuracy in Academia, a national group that looks for liberal bias. 0 �December 12, 11185 Volume 17, No. 15 Dry chri_ stmas?

Langway; Nature is always erratic By JILL-MARIE ANOIA A vo lcanic eruption and deadly mudslide in Colombi:r. earthquakes in Mexico, hurricanes battering the east coast of the U.S. and appearing out of season, a rccord~breaking amount of rainfall in ovember here - these natural even ts and other> have claimed headlines in tbe news lately. . That may give you the impression that Molher ature is getting increasingly hostile and subjecting the earth to one brutal di;aster after another,'but that's just not so, according to Chestu Langway, c'1lairman of B's Department of Geo/ogicul Sciences. · "It's just fortuitous. The cahh is puis... ing, and we can predict climate only on the basis of hinorical averages.'' Langway explained ... But eve~verage is the sum of all deviations frorri titat average." ·- It may seem that you:re hearing a lot about volcanoes. hurricanes and earthquake lately. bUt these events arc not indicators of any abnormality. Accord· ing to Langway. they are wuhin an expected range of deviation from global average and are not indicat~of any 1hrcatening change. ..

Since that time. climate has llecn ~ warming globally. However. Lan11way adds. in the la.~t 100 years the earth ha' been in a period of global coo.ling. "But again. we're talking a\·eragc!; that doesn't mean it won~ be hot as hell in Lo~ Angeles next S1.Jmmcr," he noted . ' Langway predicts a slight decrease in tsP)pcrature world-wide over the next 20 to 25 year. and then, near the year2050. a gradual increase. "T!Jis·is the tren,d indicate<f by ice core ~,;,ludi!S . but that doesn't mean that there won't be volcanoes. canhquakel'l . mud>lides. and the like betw~n now and then:· Langway added.

Approximately 30 inches of loose snow that had accumu· /ated on top of frozen Lake Erie was whipped uwny by heavy winds. cau>ing heavy accumulation· and drifting in the city . .. It was a combination of several unusual thmg:. that happened at onc-e." Langwav offered. Langway also insi~ted that the storm was not as unusuul as many believe. Two years later there was a worse storm in Bo>ton. he notes, leaving 15 feet of snow • at Logan Airport. "Here's what I see happening - every 'new~ station in the country takes note of weather item> when they happen.in Buffalo ," Langway said. "Everywhere in the country Buffalo seems to represent a 200to JOO-mile radius - no one knows Tonawanda or Alden. but thev all know Buffalo." He also offered a per>pecthc on a more cmrrent event - the mudslidc in Colom· bia. He notes that the natives must have known of past mudslides in the area and have had warning that the nearby volcano was entering a period of ~ctivity. 8 Dr. Perry gives UB his Shakespeare and music collections .

But part of my t rai n ing as an histo ri an invo lved reading official d ocume nts of the Royal Prussian bureaucracy and this enab les me to understa nd most of the S tate's ''clarification·· document. As a se rvice. the refor-e, I p.£W)ose to tra nslate the State's "claritrcation" into English . .IL is too lengthy to tran!'l late all of it, so I will trans late three examples and the reader can then U!:oe the same technique for the rest of the document. 1 TENURE. The State's • "clarification" says: "Even in its initial dem::mds the S tate never sought the .abolition of tenu re or renewable tenu re. The S tate did seek to·c>tablish periodic peer evaluatio n for tenured facu lty. In this rega rd, tenured faculty arc the only group of employees in the S tate servi_ce who are not already eva lua ted o n a system wide basis . . .. [we! dropped this demand months ago. Translator 's Note: In tra nslating this, the key thing to u ndersta nd is tha t the State wanted u~ to retain the word "tenu re." But it also wanted to be abi\, to fir£• faculty .members. even after they had achie,ed tenure status. To quote from the State's initial written demand (a pho tocopy or the original is available from UU P's Albany office. upon request). what the State wanted was that .. a system of monitoring and periodic peer and superYiisory evaluation of performance of those faculty and staff with con tinuing or permanent appointment must be adopted. A procedure for the rtmo\'al or those mem be"' of the faculty and Stafr who are consistently found to be performing wMatisfm1orily shou ld be included as an in tegral part of the process" (emphasis supplied}. From thi s h is evident they mean ··until you arc fired because a supervisor thinks vou are unsatisfactorv. •• • O\\>, the translmiOn of th is pan of the State 's ..clarification": .. We never C\er wanted to destroy ten ure. People can still have tenure and all we want is to be able to remm•e them if we don't like them. That happe ns in other State agencies [like the highw8)' maintenance crews) so why shouldn't 11 happen to pro fessors? Besides. we .save up thi!'l 1dea [we just didn't tell you about it]." Slwrt translation: .. \ Ve never attacked 'tenure' and now we've >topped." SALARY MINIMUMS. Tfie • "clarification"' says: ..... . For the first time the State has offered to raise the calendar year alary minimums of the professional ranks and librarian~ to 2 the calendar yeq,5- minimums of the facult y.. .(<:alendar year minimums will be reduced by- 16.7% for academic year pro fessional obligations)." Trans/a/or S Nore: We need to kn ow • w~iit. 'he current minimum (usually "starting") sa laries are in SUNY, for which we turn to article 20.2. subs~ction (e. I) of our contract. For a n · assi stant professor it is S 13,625; · or a PR-J or an assistant libr rian i is $11 .445. To put. this i t ivc, the mQst recent survey of startmg sglaries for newly gre:duated college · Students sho ws that they average · approximately $21 ,000 with a BA , $26.000 with an MA , and $30.000 wilh a Ph.

( I d id not incl ude t he part a bo ut how the new minimum starting salary for everybody in SUN Y would then be 1/ 3 lower than the average starti ng sa laries of newly gtad uated stud ent s wit h a bachelor's degree, beca use that was my point and was not me nt io ned in the State's "clarification. '1 " The State isn 't against tenure; it just wants to get rid of professors-like it removes highway workers. RETRENCHMENT. The State'> • "'clarification" says: ~·The S tutc has offered to notify the union in advance of retrenchment units below the level of depa rtment or program and to review at central administration and OE R the app ropriateness or the uniL" The opinrons expressed m ..Vtewpoints" p1eces are those of lhe Wfllers and not necessanty those of the Reponer. We welcome your comments. is fired ." Perhaps better: "anyo~e we want to fire, tenured or not " (see above, #I). Now the 1ranslarion: "!When we fire individuals under our new ' retrenchment' concept (i.e., that an· 'individual' constitutes a 'program1. we w.ill give you a litt.le more advanced warning and if you object, theii ·a higher -level of our bureaucracy will decide whether you or we are right in doing Lhis." When the technique illustrated by these th ree examples is applied to the rest of the State's "clarification" even the rankest amateur should be able to understand everything perfectly clearly. These examples als o show how hard it is for academics to negotiate with the State. ince their use of language is so different from otrrs.

"The Early Assurance Program allowed me to complete the application process at a time when I had a lighter course load than my friends who are just now applying to medical schools," Robenson said. ',' I would hate to have to do what I see my friends going through now... :· For this reason and others. the UB Medical School established the EAP in 1983. To be eligible, students must have at least a 3.5 average and also must have been students at UB from the beginning ·of their college educations. Robertson and two others were the first group of accepted. "The program is a way of expanding our opportunities to undergrads,'' said Peter Nickerson, chair of the dean's committee for the Early Assurance Program and director of pathology. "It's also a way of attracting to the University excellent and outstanding undergrads and developing them in the Medical School program." Peter Ostrow, associate dean for curriculum and academic affairs of the School of Medicine, is responsible for developing and facil itating the EAP. He envisions three goals. The first is related to the students who enroll. The}lAP "enables a student who wants to commit to medicine and is of high quality to gain admission to avoid the negatjve aspects of the pre-med syndrome -grade grubbing, extreme competitiveness~ and so forth. He or she can have a broader undergraduate experience and avoid the hassle and expense of applying to multiple medical schools," he sa ad. The second goal is to benefit the Medical School itself. "We hope to attract the best UB under- ~t udent s ~~~~·rf~~~~~';.'~i~~:~;~~~ ~~~~":~~~?;~ involv'io assisJing a Medical School faculty member on a research project. L Students are paid for this su mmeni me work. Du ring the year prior to beginning medical studies, stude nts in the program become involved in a clinical preceptorship program. For one afternoon every other week, they wo rk with a d octor in the com munity. This semester the students are obs.ervl.ng the work of a genera\ surgeon, an expe rie nce Robertson has enjoyed. "One of the best parts is that I had the opponunity to be at a surgery.! scrubbed and the whole bit: I was right there next to the doctor," he recalls. " It was a hiatal hernia O{Jtration and it was a greatopportunity to sec some of the anatomy. t> The Early Assurance Comtllittee is now developing an advisor sys tem to assist students in making undcr~raduate course choices. "It will be a cross-campus advisory system consisting of a group of interested faculty who will interact wi th stud ents and offer guidance," Ostrow explained. "The program encourages pre-med students to take a wide variety of courses and have a broad range o( study at the undergraduate level." T he program has innuenced the courses RobertSon has selected since his acceptance. ~This semester for an elective I probably would have chosen a science course if I hadn't been accepted to med school, but instead I decided to take a political science course .... Next semester I plan to take two classes outside the sciences, .. he noted. ... Coursewise I'm not as focused on math and science as my friends. I've been taiUng other things that arc also important in. being a doctor, courses that will help me to relate to patients as people." Kathleen Bethin, one of seven UB undergrads accepted into the prograiJI in May, agrees tbat EAP iu positive innuence on her undergraduate course selections. . " In the past I chose courses with the thought 'this would look good to get into medical school.' Now I'm taking courses that interest me ,"' she noted. ~Nex t semester I'd like to take German and maybe even computer science .... Ostrow has not been able to specifically measure the advantages and d isadvantages wruch may be associated with the program because it has such • slion history. But he is able to predict what some of those might be. On the positive side, he notes that lbese students will have a "head sta n ." "On th e day they .enter the school they Wil l have already had a clinical preceptorship which will acquaint them with sqme of the faculi y, they will know [he campus, and they will have had a cou~le of relatively streS$-(ree years," he srud. As for negative as~ts, O~t row cautions th at the administrators of EAP must be careful to ensure tbat enrolling students are nOt prematurely closing out their o ptions. There are ma ny choices avai!able to an undergrad other tban • med1cal school- he notes. The balance. however, is extremely positive, Ostrow said. "'I think the instances where a siUdent in the program will miss out on becomin~ a rock and roll si nger or an a nthropologast or somet hi ng else will be rare ... Will ea rly admissio n prom~t accepted students to slack off in the ar pre-med studies? Bethin notes that the program has si mply substituted her reason fo r performing well. "Being in the program has not a ffected my perfo rm ance in school, .. she said. "Before I got in I was t rying to keep up my grades to get into medical school. Now I try hard because I have a purpose." The deadline for applications to the next round of acceptances to the Early Assurance Program (for September 1987 Medical School entrance) is Feb. I. Applications are available in the Medical School Admission Office, 138 Farber, and in the Undergraduate Academic Advising office, 106 Nonon. For students interested in o ptometry. a new program has been established in cooperation with the SUNY College of Optometry in New York City. Interested freshmen a nd inco m ing stud ents accep ted into this acce lerated program can at tend three years of school at UB to meet undergraduate require ments and then attend SUNY Optometry to complete the seven-year program. Students can choose a variety of undergraduate majors, includirig the special major option.

He hosted a var· tety of JBU programs for the next four years and in February 1981 suggested to FM88 Program Director David Benders that the station add a Reggae program . One hadn't existed in Buffalo since around 1974. " At the tJme 1 came to WBFO , there were no Reggae programs in Bullalo; the only Reggae commg over the ai rwaves was from Toronto Jamaica and Canada are both part of the United Ktngdom . so It was easier for Jama1cans to travel to other U.K. countries to settle down. England and Toronto both have a good-sized Caribbean population.'' Paul expl8ins. He started to build a collection of his own albums that he'd play for Reggae listeners. He remembers: " It was sort of WBIJd - I dtdn't have an extensive hbrary as I should have, so at first it was ki nd of shoe-string . I started buying as many Reggae albums as I could afford. and broad· ened my collection. I tried to keep a high level of listenership so I played a variety of artists." H e currently plays from a collection that Includes over 700 albums, mostly his own. with the remamder from WBFO's library. The collection ranges from Bob Marley to the Heptones, and it mcludes artists from the roots of Reggae. MONDAYS AT NOON Paul Dean brings special touch to this area's premi_er Reggae program . "The rOots are pretty strong," Paul says. "English Rhythm and Blues (R&B) artists picked up on Jamaican Ska (a jazz/R&B evolved style). They did some strange tunes, including a theme tor a 1965 James Bond movie. The style began toevolvewtth a pretty strong beat and some good Iynes. and was called Rock Steady. Then Reggae evolved from Rock Steady and Ska •· Ska developed when Jamaican mustc1ans heard Ame.can (R&B from Miami radio and stat1ons 10 New Orleans At the sameume Elv1s Presley emerged on the Amencan scene in 1956, Jamaicans began lis· tenlng to Ska.

Rock Stead~ evQived when James Brown distinguiShed a style 'll •th an upbeat tempo w1th electric bass and guitar wh-ich superseded the "chug-a-lug" horn sound of Ska. In 1966, Alton Ellis set the pattern with his release. "Rock Steady." By then, Bob Marley and the Wailers had scored their first hits with "Judge Not" (1961) and ..Simmer Down" (1964) . "Simmer Oown" wa!l released on Chris Blackwell's Island label, a record1ng companv that would brmg Reggae to the Amencan public " The Island label deftn1tely helped 1o "bnng Reggae to the attentiOn of America. Other labels that were mfluenttal were Studio One and Tro1an Records," .recalls Paul "ArtiSts like Bob Marley, Burnmg Spear. and Toots and the Maytals were on the Island label. Alter the Wailers broke up, Peter Tosh went to Columbia. But basically, it was the Island label that got Reggae Into American markets." Paul comments. T he term Reggae was presumably fi(St heard in 1968on a disc by the Maytals, " Do tM Reggay." Then Ska's shuffle became syncopated. and the electric bass and guitar remamed promment as on Rock Steady style releases .

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Jr. Now ho nored as ont of - 1f not the- greatest civil rights advocates in American his tory. as well as a noted clergyman and orator, he has even been commemorated in the Amer~can calendar, his birthday being celebrated as arc those of our most revered presidents. WashinglOn and Lincoln. · This official stamp of approval helps to numb the memory of the reality of Kmg's . struggle for justice: the hatred activated in res poW to his civil rights demo nstrations; h-iS'IP'rests, and his dark: days in the Birmingham J3~ is march for equal housing in the streets of Chicago. where he was stoned and spat upon: the death threats against him and his family; the FBI's investigation of his personal life and J. Edgar Hoover's relentless attempts to discredit him: his struggle to maintain the ,strategy of nonviole nce, especially in the late r yea rs when more -rad ical"' activists scorned it: t he heated op position to his stand on the Vietnam War. and, of f~~~~e. his assassination in Memphis in In the course of his career. during which he was called everything from a communist to the most unprintable of racist epithets. King maintained his vision of justice and stuck by his nonviolent strategy, even when he contended with violence in its ugliest forms: the nonrational hatred of mobs and the insidious racism of those sworn to uphold the law. What sustains a man through such ordeals? What gives his actions and speech a consistency that defies the overwhelming variety of challenges to his efforts? B erkley B. Eddins, Ph.D., sees in King's wr itings and .. actions a foundation rooted in the tenets of natural law and critical liberalism. A full professor of philosophy at UB since 1971. Eddins has specialized in studies on natural law and moral philosophy and has -published articles on the Black American experience and Afro-American philosophy. His most recent presentation was made at Emory University in March at the twelfth annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP) for a special symposium on "Martin Luther Ki ng J r. as Philosopher: Theory and Practice" sponsored by Emory and Martin Lu the r King Jr. Ce nter for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. Eddi ns was one of three members of a panel for which Coretta Scott King served as commentator. The other presenters were Walter G. Mueld er, dean emeritus of the School of Theology at Boston University, and William R. Jones, professor of religion and director of Black Studies at Florida State University. Eddins' paper. titled "Natural Law in the Philosophy of Martin Luther King and Its Implications for Social Action, was meant to, in his words, ...examine and expose Dr. King's doctrine of natural law and compare it with the classical exposition of natural law coming out of St. Thomas and my own interpretation based on the theory of John Wild. Wh ill: much is known abou l King's civil rights activi ties, there has not been 00 00 ~A RTIN L UTHER KING JR , ' :.:J an emphasis on his philosop~ical beliefs. and the way in which those beliefs led to - and justified - his social action. The Emory symposium was one of the first to look at King primarily as a philosopher. "Most debate (about King's activities) centers on the relevance of his social policy and the wisdom of his doctrine of nonviolence as che main strategy for black people.~ Eddins explained . "What I hope to do is to establish the unitrof Dr. King's philosophy so that he is to be thought of as a social philosopher in the mainstream of American philosophy. ~ E ddins ponrays King as a man who thought deeply about the justification for his actions. and not simply as a tactician. although. Eddins concedes, .. Dr. King was a great tactician ... "Most people who 'do' social philosophy do it piecemeal, Ed dins com- . mcnted. "They talk about rights. justice, and all that, but they do not concern themselves with fou ndations: dither, they concern themselves with arranging things so that people can hold each other at bay. We don't see that in Dr. Kin~. He takes very seriously certain questions about human nature. human destiny. and natural law. He takes seriously the question that society is for something. He makes a distinction between the good life and the moral life. 00 00 In reading King's autobiography. Eddins said. he was impressed with the way King would take certain philosophers. such as Hegel. Marx. Nietzche, or Schopenhauer, and .. work on them for two or ~hree weeks. or months. at a time. take thtm very seriously, and give them what creqit he thought they should have, then cull from them what he thought he could use in his own philosophy. · "The scope of his perceptions and the seriousne(s with which he considered these quite diverse philosophies shows he was a profound thmker," he added. In this search for unity in King's philosophy. Eddins is engaging in more than a . mere academic exercise. With t.he liberal programs and goals of the 1960s and l970s now under attack by a. conservative fundamentalist movement sancti~ned by the Reagan administration, there 1~ a need to strengthen the liberal positiOn. As author of a paper titled "Philosophical Foundations of Liberalism . " which will be published by the Journal of the New York Socierr for th• Study of Black Philosophy. Eddms takes the current status - or. more precisetv. non· status - of liberalis~ very serioUsly. He has made. as he puts It, a "lifelong consideration" of the topic . .. I 'm trying to give liberalism some philosophical foundations SQ we won't have to fall'ba~k on the shallow do-gooder emphaSis, he explamed. ''I'm trying to show there are philosoP.hical foundations m natural law which Will support a liberal outlook and programs.. rm strengthened by th e work of Dr. King. I find in Dr. King a valuable ally." E ddins, who is the only black full professor of philosophy in any major Amencan research university, feels that many of the gains made by blacks in the wake of King's efforts have been lost. "The climate for black advancement is definitely on the low end of the social b~rometer, " he commented , adding that some of the setbacks are the fault <If thel black liberal leadership. " l think the net' effect of the War on Poverty was to ad~ance certaan blac.k.s and recognize the1r talents. We have failed to educate the American people to remind them about what the Constitution says. The officral leadership failed to put certain things such as affirmative action in the proper context ... A pessimistic Eddins said, "lt is a rough time forsocial philosophers. intellectuals. and liberals today." He decrie the .. callousness and meanness .. that seems to permeate the Reagan administration. " I think Dr. King would find difficulty in making his 'I Have a Dream' speech in the context of the kno,.·nothin$ness of the Reagan administration,.. Eddtns said. ·•There are two ways to look at society: one. in whifh we say what we do 10 society is to arrange our institutions to hold people at bay and get on as best we can. and two. in which we suggest that we have a common task to work out. to come to a greater understanding and ask questions about what values society should · have. "h appears that Reagan is the fi.rst American president to lack axrand vision of what our society should be," he added. The only public figure who comes close to King's oratorical vision , in Eddins ' view. is New York Governor Mario Cuomo. "who remind us of our mor31 decency." Next semester Eddins will offer for the third time: , a seminar on liberalism. focussing on how it may J:>e strengthened and how it can "serve on~ mr re as a program guide." · B ut why try to tie Manin Luther Kjn$'5 social activism to something asesotenc as the principle of natural Ia". which seems to interest only philosophers these days? Simply to show that what he was fighting for was right and just, and that his nonviolence was more than just a strategy. but rather a reasoned outcome of his belief in the natura order, and the King, page 11. �December 5, 1985 Volume 17, No. 14 WBFO Raises record $46,500, builds new tower By JOSE LAMBIET T his November will be a Novembtr to · remember for WBFO.

"Nov. . we will cover both Niagara and Eric counties:· Sikorski said. "People who are closer to the transmitter will receive a much improved signal." At deadline time. WBFO had just returned to the air and was broadcasting from the new transmitter location: "We had about 1,000 calls from people asking what happened to us. The 'Gosh. we miss yo u' calls are especially flattering," said Sikorski. The station was off 1he air for more than a week waiting for the OK from the Federal Communications Commission to resume broadcasting." The new transmi ssion system used by the U B stati on involves a ~ophisticatcd microwave dish on top or' the Allen Hall studios which sends signals to the new tower. The tower is then used as a relay and broadcasts these signals to Western New Yo"rk radio sets. According to Sikorski , there should be no problem for residents in the vicinity of the new antenna ... Some people whose TV tuners are deficient might have recep· tion problems. But if they <;ome to the station. we will gladly offer them a special filter to eliminate any dif0culty, .. said Si~or s ki. Campus is dry as FSA officials study the . By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO hat the new 2 1-ycar-old drinking age didn 1t do, an insurance drought ha s . accomplished U B ha s become a dry campus. The Faculty Student Association. the: only group authorized to sell liquor at U B. is no longer serving it because the group can't get adequate liquor liability insurance, explained Leonard Snyder. assistant vice president for finance: and management and executive director of W F A. Th~ Wilkeson Pub. Tiffin Room. Cen· ter for Tomorro\\ , lOth floor of Goodyear- anywhere that the F A sold or sened liquor - nrc affected. Snyder said. In the past, FSA carried ba~ic coverage of $500.000 with excess coverage of S5 million for liquor. Thb insurance pro· tectc:d the agency in ca~e a third part¥ was injured, for example, an an. auto accadent by a minor or drunJ.. dnver who was served alcohol by FSA. he said . That insurance: expired Nov. 25. Now. instead of S500.000. FSA can get on ly. SIOO.OOO worth of erotewon. and the excess insurance is sampl)' unavaal- ab le. Snyder said. "One hundred thousand dollars is not adequate unless claims top off at $ 100.000.'' he said. "But th ey're in the millions." FSA. a not-for-profit corporation that handles food. recreati on. vending. and related kinds of activities for U B. has a couple of million dollars in assets to pro- " ~hat drinking laws couldn 't do, the insurance companies did. teet. Snyder pointed out. The FSA tried unsuccc,;fullv to get liquor insurance elsewhere, he said. It i!-1 experient:ing what is a Statc·wide and nation-wide problem in im~urance. This insurance drought is notable in the areas of liquor. medical malpractice. and municipality coverage. :·Many . s.~a!ler taverns and _liquor stores are running into the same prob· km."' Snyder said. T he FSA is stil l examining alternatives to a dry ca mpus. With its attorneys and insurance agents. it i~ looking at ways that alcohol could be served without UB's FSA playing a direct role. One idea is to subcontract the liquor operation to the FSA at Buffalo State College. Snyder said. Buffalo State's insurance was renewed last year before getting the insurance became a problem. That move would hopefully be temporary· just until the insura nce !iituation is resolved, he said. "I wouldn't expect anything in the 30. to 60-day range. but so metime into the s pring. knock. on wood.- he said. The priority in the State Legislature is clea rl y with the malpractice insurance. Snyder said. but he added that the legislators are also aware of the problems with liquor liability insurance and int,urarycc for municipalities. It is still too early to know how the situa tion will affect plans to remodel a portion of the eating area in Norton Hall for a Rathskeller, he said . That will be discussed at an meeting today. , :sA New tower (abon) Ia located ,.., North FoiNI. (AI left) Wortman lnalll/1 the •ntenn•. As for radios near the tower, they should not be affected either. .. A lowe• version of our signal will be heard in the gaps on the FM band, but that i> it."' Sikorski added. In fact. WBFO's old tower at Kimball Tower was in the middle of a highly populated area and problems were rare. he said.. 0 alt~rnatives The inabi lit y to sell liquor on campus may cause FSA to lose some money , but "it's not a crisis by any stretch of the imagination," Snyder said. Alcohol is only a small part of the busi· ness, he noted . While FSA docs about S7 million a year in· food, it does only a couple of thousand dollars in liquor. In addition. while FSA didn\expectto cease sales of liquor, it did expect them to drop when the drinking age was raised to 21 on Dec.- I. he said. Snyder pointed out that FSA 's insurance sit uat ion does not prevent alcohol from being present on campus: it onl) prevents FSA from selling it. 11 is his impression that alcohol could still be served at small office parties and other gatherings as long as the guidelines , of UB's Alcohol Review board are fol· lowed. he said.

On Nov. 27, OER as'ked the Public Employment Relation s Board (PE RB) to appoint a fact-finding panel. This process is the stage beyond mediati o n, Tarwater explained. Much like a trial , each side presents its position in the form of a legal brief. The preparation a lone could take seve ral months, he said. The fact finders can make recommendations. but their decisions are not binding. The rcqueg to go to fact-finding is usually pro forma, Tarwater noted. and a resolution of a contract. stated Thomas "U UP rem ained reluctant to let us know exactly what they needed to settle a contract.

He is a third-year graduate student in linguistics here. McGreevy came under fire for a statement made in the Oct. 24 issue of the Reporter in which he maintained that ' UUP is intervening in the GSEU action . witb the Public Employment Relations Boa rd ( PERB) and attempting t o "accrele .. GAs and TAs into their bargaining unit. He added that this was being done in co ntradiction to a vote of UU P's l own delegate .Ssembly. His allegatio n prompted a statement in a recent UU P newsletter which denies any such action. · "UU P has done nothing since the delegate assembly action. It is still an interested party, an observer, but has taken no positive action ... the newsletter reported. McGreevy maintains that although legalistically the word .. accretion~· may have been improper in his original statement, UUP is still involved as more than an observer. Instead of a .. party pursuing accretion, .. they are more properly called an .. interested party pursuing intervention ... he said . ~ According to McGreevy. intervention and accretion actions are identical in intent but are used in different situations. Both apply to the absorption of a group of people into the constituency of an existing union . "Accretion would be the initiation of a group in to an existing unit before movements to organize a union are made by that group .... This doesn 't apply to GAs and TAs since the GSEU has already been formed," he explained. Bo th accretion and intervention can take place without the 30 per cent show of inte rest required to establish a new union such as the GSEU.' McGreevy outlined the actions which have led to the current difference in interpretation of U UP's involvement. On Jan. 23, New York State United Teachers (NYsun filed a motion of intervention with PERB. YSUT is the parent union of UUP. On Jan. 31 Communication Workers of America (CW .\), the parent union of the GSEU , filed an objection to the intervention motion. Despite this move, NYSUT's intervention motion was accepted by PER B. "They (NYsun arc now panicipants and are invired to all hearings where they .can cross.examine. gain access to evidence. present evidence. and gain access to information on the dealings of PERB and the GSEU," McGreevy said. 0 n Feb. 9, the UUP delegate assembly passed a resolution intended to halt UUP's intervention. ltstates: ~Where­ as an accretion intervention is a legalistic and undemocratic fo rm of acquiring members for a union unlike organizing for a 30 per cen t show of interest. therefore be it resolved that the delegate assembly of UUP instruct its executive board not to intervene by accretion intervention with PER B in the dispute betwee n UUP and CWA concerning union representation for the graduate st udent employees for the State University of New York. " Paul Diesing. president of the UUP Buffalo Cente r Chapter. spoke against the accretion move and promoted the passage of thi s resolution at the UUP delegate assembly. ''Accretion is asking PERB to rule that these people belong in your union regardless of whe1her they wan t to be or not. The executive board has decided that U UP should not do that and we have nbt acted against that ruling .... We would like the GSEU to join us but only bytbeir ~ choice ... he said. " YS UT is another kettle of fish entirely. I can't account for what they're doing .... It may be that they have intervened to pad the rolls and get mon: dues." McGreevy does not accept the distinction between UUP's and NYSUT's actions made by Diesing. "From our point of view, NYSUT and UUP are one and the same.... NYSUT lawyers act on UUP's behalf just as CWA "We feel that UUP isn't concerned with a democratic process: it just wants what's good for them bur.eaucra tically." lawyers act on our (GSEU) behalf." McGreevy said. McGreevy also challe nges the U UP assertion that they have nof acted in contradiction to the delegate assembly resolution . He notes that no paperwork has been filed since th en but also that there has been no need to do so since all necessary documents for an intervention had already been submitted. McGreevy maintains, however. that since YSUThas aa:ess to all information which passes between the GSEU and PER Band is a panicipant in all meetings. UUP is an active participant. "The delegate assembly didn\ instruct UUP to keep silent, just not to make accretion movemen ts ... Diesing offered. B ·oth the GSEU ani!-UUP are asking -to n:preseni GAs and TAs on the basis of being the best, to represent the interest of these groups of people. UllP hold that they are in ari advantageow. position since they have already established a bargaining n:lationship wnh SU Y and GAs and TAs do the same work as their curn:nt constituency. "UU P memben an: our supervisors; they hin: and fin: us," McGreevy said in opp9sition to the UUP positton. He added that the fact that GAnnd TAs arc students and employees at the same time makes their positions unique from others on campus. '"'We want to ensure a democratic process for ourselves - the GAs have organ- • ized, established the 30 per cent sho" ol interest, and petitioned PERB." McGreevy said . " We feel that UUP isn\ co~ed with a democrat ic process: 11 just wants what's good for them bureaucratically. .. All of the argumenu of both sides be heard and a representative chosen at public hearings scheduled for Jan. 1,4 and 15. At these hearings. PERB w1ll make two decisions . First it will be decided whether graduate students and teachinjl assistants are actually employ~:~'> with nghts to collective bargaining. Second, it will determine the mo) t appropriate bargaining unit. McGreevy noted that the GSEU would like UUP to withdraw the intervention motion before the hearings and foster a good relat.ionship bel ween the two Unlb " We really don' want to criticize UUP We'n: behind what they'n: doing as a union but we'd like the executive board and la¥r)'ers to withdraw the intervention ... he said.

Stein when he assumes the new position of interim vice president for spOnsored programs. Stein told th e Faculty Senate Executive committee of a recent competition with Johns Hopkins and other prestigious institutions for a research grant. UB submitted a proposal that was every bit as good as the others. but there was an erroneous perception that the other institutions themselves were better. Stein explained. ..

" ( want to spread the good word about SU Y Buffalo so we don't Jose when We tie." · First and foremost, the new vice presidency is an external marketing operation.· M \ he said. His job will be to ge t funding information a nd bring it bad: to the deans.

"This is happening because we haven't developed a network : we don't have a prominent Washington presence ... Stein said.

Other sta tes rely heavily on their public universities, but that doesn't happen here. Stein said he was told that one State agency actually prefers to go to New Jersey to have its testing done. .

Th e importance of students to many campus organizations is apparenlly one of the reaso ns behind a Sl million increase in expenditures for the student payroll at UB in 1984-85. In 1983-84 , 1hose expenditures were S 11.3 million; in 1984-85, they totalled more. than Sl2.3 million. Marlett, who hires two student ytriters. twp student photographers, and freela nee student artists every semester, declared that students are very important to the R•porter. "Not only do they help us s1ay in touch with campus life, but they also tend to be creative and bring added vitalit y to our publication.- he noted . ··Because students have been so good. there has been a stud ent budget increase here." he said . "I thmk s1uden1S get more than just money when !hey work here. They gain practical experience and get their work published." >aid Rebecca Berns1ein. the Reporter art director. The R~porll'r was just o ne of a large nutnber of campus organi7ation> which spen t a 1otal of$1.6 million on undergraduate "student assistance" in 1984-85. The Cri tt ca l Languages program which uses .seven st udents is anothtr example. Dr. Peter Boyd-Bowman, its director, cmphasi1ed that although the students get "shamefully little money" for their work. the en tire program depends on student s' availability ... We can teach II different languages because there are UB foreign students who tut or thetr fellow student s twice a week ,... said Boyd- Bowman. "The problem is that we do not ha ve any faculty . But with little money, studentS help us realize a lot. We offer co urses in Dutch , TUrk1sh, Damsh, anP Yiddish. nrrlong others. "he added. Many students work not just for the money. Boyd-Bowman stressed. "The workload is not that heavy, and most of them enjoy it.'" Recreation and Intramural Services employ approximately 50 students. "We need football , basketball, soccer, hockey. and softball referees." said Vivian Brooks. the intramurals coordinator. According to graphics consultant Marc Katchay, another 40 students are employed by the computer facility in Bell HalL Katchay, a se nior in computer science. said his job includes "solving the problems faculty and students might run mto using the facilities ." The College Work Study Program is probably the program from which most students benefit. "We help more than 1.000 srads and undergrads, ''said Financial Atd Coordinator Hugh Ganser. The program offers students a work package of up to 20 hours per week that should help them meet their financial needs. "We try to match up the job to the student's interc~~ts as much as possible," Ganser said. "We have people working for public safety, others at the libraries. or some even doing research . Their responsibilities include anything from filing papers to answering phone calls ... Dr. Milton Plesur, History, finds the Work Study Program "a marvelous help for both !he professor and the student." Plesur, to whom two students are assigned, said they save him a lot of time.

It was a thrill to hear that you had been selected for an honor as important as the Nobel Prize. How have things changed for you since then? A. As for changing my career or my job, it's hard to imagi ne picking up and movi ng on at my age (of 68). The prize has certainly changed things, though I hope only temporarily. I'm much busier now and it's hard to get a ny work done. I have so many invita~ tions to speak, I am nearly booked all the way thro ugh June 1986. I_ was wa rned this would happen. This is the co mmon complai nt of all Nobel Laureates- that it takes a year out of your life, in a good way_. One change that I hope it wtll produce is to pro mote the importa nce of pure sc ientific research. which is not sufficiently appreciated by the general public or by com mun ity leaders. Basic research is so important because of its valuable - and often unpredictable benefits to mankind. We need ihe support of tltc enlightened public if we arc to be allowed to · continue such important work using public and private funding. If my research had not been publicly funded. it may ne\ler have been · comple ted and the revolutionary atvance to all hu.mans may not have been rea)ized. Q . I know one mvllal/on you won 't turn down 1s the one.m Stockholm December 10 A. Yes, that's when I go to accept the Nobel Pri7.e in Chemistry. I a lso will speak about my technique in a Icc~ .. Direct Methods and Anomalous Dispersion ... a. That's not familiar to most people outside your field. Can you,_explain to the readl3r what your basic technique is about? A. The mathematical m<thod I \I eve loped with Jerome Karl~ in the 1950s is called the Direct Methods. It is used to determine the three-dimensional crystaJ structures of biologically important molecules such as hormones. vitamins, and antibiotics. To identify the structure. an X-ray beam is projected on a crystal. That beam is scattered in thousands of directions which forms a pattern on photographic film . The pattern appears as arrays of thousands of spots of differing brightness. By analyzing the intensity of the dots, the Direct Method approach calcu lates the angles from which the beams were rcflc~tcd. Using this information. the formula allows us to put together an accurate picture of the molecular st ruclUre. Q . This helps us to understand the technique but what 1s /he reason why the Dlfect Methods 1s considered such a revoltJiionary advance? A. Before the Direct Methods, we could only usc the pattern to guess at possible structures indirectly. The technique is now the primary method to identify the structures of molecules so th8t they car1 be synthesized or manipulated to produce new. drugs and chemicals useful to industry and medicine. I guess that 40 to 50 thousand structures have been found using the tcchntques 90% of all new structures. 5000 nc:w chemicals or drugs each year. Every pharmaceutical and chemical company must apply the Direct Methods to solve the structures they later develop. 0 . Does that mean that all the new drugs that have been developed in recent years to treat disease depended upon your lormuta to be developed? That must mean thousands if nor mil/Ions ot people have benefllled because of the techmque. A. Yes. The contribuiiOn ol your techmque has also made a great d1fference. then, m the development of all the new chemicals thai mdustry relies on tor 1/s technology, not tust in the f1eld ol med•cme Your methOd ha s. mdeed. had a tun~aQ. What about your family's reaction? A. My dau.hter, a research psychologist in WashtnJ.~on ~ D .C., was very happy. The famtl y never expected it. Some of my relatives sent me beautiful letters describing how proud they were. One niece sent me a f5-foot-long computer printout "card" that ~aid "CONGRATULATIONS UNCLE H E RB." Another wonderful letter ca me fro m a relative I've never seen who told me the dee p effect it had on her twin 11-year-<>ld daughters. Q. An Interview wiih Buffalo's Newest V.I.P. ast month. Snyder resident Herbert HauAtman; Ph. D., L received the highest professional honor when he was aw,arded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now one of the rnbst famourr-people in Western New York., be brings great prestige to his Medacal.Foundation of Buffalo, Inc., to U8, and to th~ entire Buffalo-area community because of his accomplishments. Dr. Hauptman is medical and research director for the Medical Foundation of Buffalo, lnc. He bas been with the independent resellrch group since 1970, the same year he joined the UB Medical School as research professor of biophysical sciences. The .following is an interview with Dr. Ha11ptman following the news on October 16, 1985, of his prize, shared with his former co-researcher Jerome Karle of the Naval Research Lab in Washingtt1n D.C. The interview especially illuminates for· the lay reader the tremendous significance of his technique and its beneficial effects on industry, medicine, science, and society. lt also describes the background that led up to his breakthrough research. as well as interesting incidents that followed announcement of his award. Q. What was the reaction from your cotleagties outside~! Buffalo? A. An absol utely terrific response 400-plus ecsta tic letters and phone calls. My fellow crystallographer> were especially proud because this -was the fi rst time in six decades that a Nobel Prize had directly recognized the field of crystallography. I am also the first mathematician tv~r to receive a Nobel Priz.e. w~~~~~~il~'~r· t~;~r~~~~~~~ !~~~~o~~i1f-. ized my technique. My fellow Nobel Laureate, Jerome Karle (whO heard the news oVert he iOtercom while in a jet 30,000 feet up), told me later. "h topk a l~mg time for this to be recogntzed." a. 1understand that in the early days, your fellow sctentists weren't SO quick IO recognize the contribution. A. Yes, Jerome and I got quite a hostile reaction in the 1950s when we tried to• show we had solved the "phase problem" [which had been the barrier to directly solving chemical structures]. Many dido' believe it could be done or thought it was •only a minor improvement, One wellknown told me that if he • See Nobel page 11 menial eflect even when it comes down 10 people 's everyday fives. Can you g1ve us some examples ol drugs developed out ol the technique? . A. I haven) really kept a list in my mind. One that comes up in digoxin, one of the major drugs used to treat heart disease. It was derived from digitalis which was lhe original heart medicine. However. digitalis' therapeutic dose is just below the toxic dose. So the method was used to design a safer variation called digoxin. Also developed out of the technique are artificial steroids useful in treating breast ca ncer. and enkcphalin, a natural pain~ontrol substance rn the brain that may lead to new pain-killing drugs. Others are vitamins, hypertension drugs, antibiotics. and hormones. In the fu ture we hope the technique will be used to determine variations in the structures of D A molecules (the basic molecules that are the basis of genetics). a. Wasn't there another reason why your method was so revolutionary? A. Yes. Twenty years ago, it took two years to determine the structure of even a simple molecule with only 15 atoms. Today. it takes only one or two days to determine structures of 50-atom molecules. With computers. it may soon become possible to do it in minutes. The delay, however. now is in the process of m'akin~ the crystal (a prerequisite to identifying Its structure). That can still take a week or a month. Q , We heard about your reacllon of surprise and disbelief upon hearing about your l!onor. What was your wife's reaction? A. She heard it when I called her during classes at the elementary school where she teaches. 1 said .. Honey, I won the Nobel Prize." She responded "I can) believe it!" and then accidentally hung up. Then she dashed into the hall and shouted the news to anyone who would listen. When I called her back again, ~he realized she had hung up by accident. "We got quite a hostile reaction when our work was first done." �A Tale of s·even Researc ou can't tell a book by its cover, and you can't always tell an 1 Organize<;! Resea rch Center by its title.

Providing the equipment and spcciali!cd personnel needed for re~earch in unusual physical environments is the purpose of this center. explained its director, Claes Lundgren. aho·a professor of physiology. Spccaali1ed equipment. housed in the Hermann Rahn Laboratory in Sherman Annex. includes the human centrifuge and a doughnut-shaped immer~ion pool. The centrifuge can generate a high gravity load while immersion in the pool can ~imulate lower than normal gravity, Lundgren explained. Other special environments examined at the center include C;(trcme~ in temperature. air pressure. and gas density. This research is applied to a wide range of interests including circulatory and lung disease in newborns. space ti--avcl. deep ~ca diving. and the functioning of a d1esel engine. The interaction of people from different disciplines at the center ha~ encouraged new work. better ideas. and more effective instrumentation. Lundgren said. Engineering faculty. physiologists. and clinicians are all involved. Also Important to the center arc pccialized and highly trained personnel such as a diving team and other people who handle dangerous. l)igh.pres!jtlrC equipment. ··Even if I had the money. I collldn"t gn out and buy the trained personnel. .. Lundgren said. Without the center, it might take five or ten years to arrange the necessary specialized equipment and personnel to conduct a single two-month experiment. Lundgren pointed out. The center provides continuity that solves that problem. �December 5, 1985 Volume 17, No. 14 Stamp Show to be held in -Chicago this May. Members will also discuss their rnaterials.

Senate asking that it stop publishi ng the col-lected prayers of the Se nate 's chaplains. T he prayer book. stamped with a gold cross on the cover. is pri nted at taxpayers' expense and is given out free. Publishi ng the prayers violates the constit utiona l ba n on . establishing an > oOicial religion, Kurtz conte nds. ' Kurtz had take n his com plaint to fed eral court. The jud ge in the case, Louis Oberdorfe;·. encou raged Kurtz a nd the Senate"s :awyers to see how the Senate might vote befo re asking the court to rule on the constitutional issues invo lved. If the Senate d oes not act o n the peti· l. King lion. the case will go back to-federal collrt for a ruling. Kurtz said. . "We will appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary." he said . In his pe tition to the Senate, Kurtz. also had the backing of Senator Charles M. Mat hias. R-Md .. chairman of the Senate Roles and AdminislratiQII Committee. Mat hias agreed 10 consider the pe titio n and stated t hat he personally op posed the printi ng of the prayer book at pu blic cost. · In a si multaneous lawsuit, Kurtz has ~ asked the co urt to allow him to offer non· theist remarks in place of prayers offered by chaplains at the begi nmng of Congressional sessions. Thai case is still being conside red and a decision probably won't be ready for a few months. he said. 0 ../. From page 2 unit y of the unive rse. Ma ny people have eo'm pa red the activit ies of K i n~ to those of Mahatm a Gandhi. Eddons will elaborate o n 1hat to pic in a presenta tion in Dece mber. He has been in vited to present a· paper o n the topic by the Ga ndh i- King Societr. whic h is hold ing a meeting in conjuncti on with the Eastern Divisio n meetings of the America q_ Philosophical Association in Was hing(on. D .C. .. Ce rtai nly Dr. King was innue'nced by Ga ndhi 's notion of satyagrah a. bu t th ere was also the Ga ndhi an perspective o n no nvio lence as a tactic. when to use it . o n who m.' a nd in what conte xt." Edd ins ex plained . ··Ga ndh i used no nvio lence to appeal to Christi anize d Britai n. King a lso used no nvi olence in th e co ntext of a Christianized America and an America with quite a reve rence fo r its Co nstitution." In her remarks in res ponse to Eddins' pa per at the At lanta conference. Mrs. King (whose remarks we re "'very graeiou;."" Eddins reported) said that she believed that her late husba nd would have used nonviolence even in t he current crisi~ in South Africa. "We could not challenge her on that."" Eddins said. remembering his own ··unsettling·· experiences in Pretoria two years ago. " Wha t I see there is what one migh t ca ll 1he philoso~hy of co nve nience."' he added . " If it gets ino ur way • .«oe wi ll side· step it o r bludgeo n o ur way through. I lh ink Dr. King co uld count on th at response." Comparing So uth Africa 's .. philoso phy of co nve nie nce .. wilh that of Ihe Reagan adinin istrat io n. Edd ins noted. "There is an al mos t genetic - a congen ital - as pect of res peel fo r what the law is. whic h is o ne of th e savi ng graces of America n socie ty. T hat was the importance of the 1954 Bro wn S upre me Co urt 'dec isio n. wh ich established a legal umb rell a under wh ich o ne eo uld engage in civil di so bedie nce. Even th o ugh the _slemonstrators met with all ki nd s of vio lence. they were always a ble to point to provisions in the Co nstitut io n. Even tho ugh they were put in wit ho ut blacks in mind . we were always able to press fo r eq uality o n I he basis of already es tablis hed co nslitu tio nal provisions. such as the Prea mbl e. lhe 131 h. 14th, a nd 15th amendments."" Ed d ins added. .. Reagan underestimates both the basic decency of the American people and the rega rd in which they hold the Co nsti t utio n. a nd its spin· off val ues of fairness., and individual dignity and wort h." Eddins will continue his studies of King's philosophy by examining the civil rig hts leader's pa pers held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Ce nier for Nonviolent Social Change. Inc .. in Atlanta. 0 Nobel could solve a ce rt ai n co mpl ex structure wi th o ur form ul as, the n he would be convinced. And it did hap pen. But it took 15 years after repeated solving of struclures, before t he fi nal skepti· cism about the me thod was removed. a. Drd you get any unexpected calls from people out of your past? A. Yes. 1 heard from re latives, classmates. and co ll eagues I have n't heard from in yea rs or even decades. One oft he most touc hing was a phone call from my old high school math teacher, now retired in Florida. He waited weeks to call me until he was sure I was the same Herb Hauptman he taug ht at Townsend Harris High School in Manhattan. He told me how proud he was that now ~e has ··a_ thi rd notable person among h1s former students.'" He told me th at he had taught both Jonas Salk (discoverer of the polio vaccine) and a Nubel winner in economics. · a. How do you feel about gettmg all these calls and suddenly bemg in demand now for all kinds of appearances? A. I just acce pl it as part of what just happens. I would be more selecti ve. From page l tho ugh. if it were to beco me a permane nt thi ng. I do really enjoy the nice thi ngs that happen. such as the Oliver Wendell Holmes eleme ntary school st udent who told me how he loves crystals. se nt me a picture of a crystal that he d rew. and asked me for my photo in return. I sent a photo 10 him and lhen learned of the great morale boost I had given the boy . who had had problems at ho me. a. When diet you get interested m math? A. I remember I was a bout 5 or 6 while living in the Bronx. I beca me inter· ested in numbers at the same time I was learn ing to read. a. What kmd of elfect do you thmk thiS will have on the Medical Foundatron of Bulla/a? A. I thi nk it will certainly help us in our research funding and our preStige and visibility both locally :lhd natio naUy. a. Do you have anythmg else you 'd lrke to add? A. Yes. All this that has been happening can be sum med up simply by saying. "This is just GREAT!"' 0 �o-mber 5, 1185 Volume 17, No. 14 Srihari is teaching computers to read better By DAVID C ..

The grant was an awarded as a follow-up to earlier study' v.•hich Srihari and his research assistants completed on identifyi ng the best Possi-, ble electronic sys tem for au tomatic reading of addresses. ~ "The latest project is based on a spe- . cific problem th at came up in the other on character recognition. "Sri hari said . As a result of the preliminary stud y, Srihari ctnd his assistant found that computerized sys tems have a problem d~stin­ guishing the address from the .. noise .. on a let ter or o th er pieces of mail . including magazines ('•flats" in Postal Service parla nce) and packages.

But usi ng lot1iion as a single facto r in address recognition is not a lways accurate. In order to improve the accuracy of the automated systems, Sri hari proposes that the expert system investigate the entire letter with an o pt ica l scanner and analyze all bits or information. then co nclud e which is the address. based on the probability that it is the address. Such factors as the shininess of a window that may cover the address. the texture of the type. the color and location will be co nside red. and a probability number will be assigned to each block on the letter. These assignment s are called "knowledge rules .. in artificial intelligence systems. The computer will then analy1e the block with the highest probability . of being the address. Srihari and his ~project resea rch assistants are also investigating how to improve the computer's abilitylo read the address once it is located: A ri ex p!rt on document image analysis by comp uter. Srihari proposes to use artificial intelligence methods of teaching com puters to read names and addresses without stori ng all cities on the map. for inuance. His researc h assista nt Jonath an J .

Srihari said. "Fifty per cent of this mail is sorted automatically and 85 per cent of it is machine ty ped. That means that 35 per cent of the prepared mail could not be sorted automatiCally ......

Doyno . a member of the English faculty here since 1966. received the award from Governor Cuomo October 21 in Albany. Eight other employees from across the S tate also received 1985 productivity awards. This is the first year of the awards program. which is sponsored by the gover· nor's Office of Management and Produc· tivity. The in ten t is to recognize outstanding S tate em ployees "who have con tribuled in an exceptional way to the State's productivity efforts," said a governor's spokes man ... During the first yea r of the program," the spokesman ad ded, "nominees for the awards produced more than S6 million in savin$S and avoided costs fort he taxpayer, wh•le ot hers found new ways to improve government services and the way in which the State is managed.~ A notice enclosed with all State pay~ c heck s June 12 encouraged State employees to submit nominations for the awards. Doyno was recognized for conducting, with Prof. Lester W. Milbrath of political science, the recent ...Quality of Campus Life" s urvey. Doyno and Milbrath polled faculty members during the winter of 1983-84, and an interim report was prqduced last year. Proposals have been advanced to co ndu ct such a survey every three ye~rs.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

CLASSROOM CRUNCH Tighter scheduling means more classes at 8 and 4 By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO hile there 11·i// be enough classroom space in the fall of 1986, the opening of Park Hall. the Social Sciences building, will mean tighter scheduling, accord.ing to Robert .1 . Wagner. vice president for University services. Mar< classes will be scheduled during low utilization periods, notably at 8 a.m4 and 4 p.m., he said . Theopeningof Park Hall will mean the addition of 13 percent more class periods to the Amherst Campus, butt he addition of only two classrooms, neither of which is a large lecture hall, he explained. "That's a relatively modest addition of class periods," Wagner said. "On the other hand, we have quite high utilization of classroom space already. We're shrinking our ncxibtlity." Both Park Hall and the recently W opened Jacobs Management Center were designed with the assumption that centrally scheduled classroom space would be available elsewhere on the Amherst Campus. he said . When the problem was analy1cd, it was fo\md that there ~~-indeed more than enough vacant class'l\riods in the fall of 1985toseatthe aditional load expected in the fall of 1986, he said. There are about I ,600 class periods available. (Class periods, not to be confused with class sections, are the chunks of time during the week that classes · meet.) This semester, about I ,300 class periods were used on the Amherst Cam- pus. Wagner said. Next fall, about 1,470 class periods will be needed. That still leaves 130 vacant class periods that can be used for required changes in time or location. ''I'm sure there is going to be less of a choice of times and room locations to change to because more claSses will have . been seated in the existing classrooms," Wagner said. "But it's certainly 'doable'." Wthe provost on the plan, said he will agner, who has been working with also work with the academic units to make sure the scheduling process does not harm the integrity of the academic program. "It's not a major overhaul. just a minor improvement in distribution, .. he said. The space vacated in Ridge Lea and Ellicott by Social Sciences departments doesn'Lfigure into the plan because those moves probably won't f~ee any classroom ·space. Wagner said hi s guess is that . the University wil simply·let its tease run out on the space rented at Ridge Lea. In Ellicott. much of the space used by the Social Sciences is residential space The tighter scheduling plan "allows us to keep support services here (on the ~rr}~~~~ ':'i';~fr'i~~:~~· ;no;.~!~ ~v~:i:~~ which will be returned to bed space in the times of day.

In the move toward self·sufficiency as One alternative would have been to move student support offices, such as housing subsidies are removed , the addi- tional beds would be beneficial because they would produce revenue, he noted. There is also administrative space in Ellicott that will be vacated when Social Sciences units move out. Wagner said discussions are still in the early stages on how best to use that space. This rescheduling plan will work until the Natural Sciences and Mathematics building opens around 1990. he predicted. That building will have enough classroOms to take care of a good 'portion of that Faculty's needs, but there will be some spillover. T Career Planning and EOP, out of the classroom space they occupy along the Spine. The problem is there's no place along the Spine to which to move them, Wagn,er said : Moving the offices to Ellicott would be a possibility, but that would be a significant move that takes time to think through, he said. Without high quality transportation and the right constellation of services. s uch a shift could harm the quality of student life. Because of the logistics involved in moving all of those units to and from Ellicott during one summer, it would · probably be unrealistic to think it could be done, and done well, Wagner said . he Fine Arts Building is expected to If other options present th'emselves, open before then. but much of its space will be assigned by the departments Concerned, so it won't have much effect on centrally scheduled classroom space. they'll be studied, he said.

Sample, in response to recommendation s from the Facult y Senate and the Professional Staff Senate, has authorized the University at Buffalo Foundation (UBF) to conduct a feasibility study concerning a proposed expansion of the Tiffin Room that would allow the facility to be used as a University Club. The study, according to Joseph J. Mansfield, UBF vice president for university development, is intended to test faculty and staff interest in and willingness to support such a facility . The project is being conducted by Ketchum Inc., a New York City-based firm that is contacting abo ut 100 faculty and staff members for face-to-face interviews . Particip ants • chosen fort he stud y, which began Nov. 6, represent ''a good cross-section of potential users," Mansfield said, including faculty and staff who do not sup port the plan. · "If the feasibilit y study says there is . widespread interest on the part of faculty ii nd staff, and '8. willingness to con tribut e to a nd support the project, then plans will proceed," he said. "Once they build it, they have to use it." Th"e proposed hpansion project would add 2,150 square f~et and double th e present seating capacity of the 1.815 sq uare-foot Tiffin Roorri facility, acco rding to Kevin R. Seitz, presiden t, FacultyStudent Association . . Plans call for a two-story glass wall facing th e existi ng inner courtyard on the prese nt Tiffin Room's north wall and use of space immediately above the prese nt A UB club? Feasibility study is under way room. There would be fireplaces on the ground level and first floor, and a bar 811 the first floor. The ground level would be equipped with moveable partitions to allow the Tiffin Room to be divided intq, private roorns__wjth capacities ranging' from 25 to 35 people. Total cost of the proposed expansion has been esti mated at S400,000, Seitz said. FSA would provide $70,000 for the project, and the remainder would have to . come from faculty and staff contributions. Faculty and staff both have shown .a "great deal 'of interest" in the availability of University Club facilities, according to Dr. Claude E. Welch, Jr. . president. Faculty Senate, and Arthur W. Burke. president. Professional Staff Senate. "The Tiffin Roo m is heavily used at :. ·... '. "400,000 would be n"eededto enlarge-&, transform ·the Tiffin " Room tunc~. but bas no facilities for other than dining," Welch said. "The l'roposed location is exceedingly convemr.:nt. There are of course detractors, but I expect the feasibility study will help determine Whether a (fund-raising) campaign is warranted." " I have been approached by a number of people about the desirability of a center where professional staff and faculty can meet," Burke said. "The study will help determine the breadth and depth of that commitment really." Expansion of the Tiffin Room to allow it to be used as a University Club would be~ positive influ~nce on morale, accord ing to Sara M . Cicart:Ui, president , Facult/Ciub. " PI:ople feel somet hing is missing. We should be moving io. a more unified direction,.. she said . · Faculty Club facilities that now exist . on the lOth floor of Goodyear Hall and at 250 Wins pear Avenue are inadequate and inconvement for faculty and st_aff who work at the Amherst Campus, she said . "The people I have spoken with have· been supportive and have indicated a desire for a University CIJb, "sh~ said . " It would improve the spirit of collegiality, and Provide an opponunity to meet w!tch, ~ peak with, and socialize, with -people of other disciplines. It would .make them more aware of what· is going on at th e University... ;.. The feasibility study is expected to end by Thanksgiving, Seitz said, and Universi ty officials expect to know by Januarr.1986, whether the expansion project wtll proceed.

C hodrow, the Young Republican leader. is realistic enough to no1e that implementation of the first of tfte four parts of his proposed resolution would be a lot easier than restoring a f uii-Oedgcd military science department. There are at least 110 schools across the natioil ahead of UB on a waiting list for ROTC progral\lS (which are fully funded by the federal government), Chodrow points out. Many of them like UB are institutions which literally drove the military off their premises during the high-tide of left wing activism in the late 60s and early 70s. restore ROTC by .. some so rt of administrative fiat." · T he Air Force ROTC program which formerly existed at UB was officially abolished on Commencement Day 1971 by then President Robert L. Ketter. While personally not opposed to ROTC, Ketter made the decision in line with campus sentiment which predated his appointment to the presidency in the summer of 1'170. That sentiment had been expressed through a Faculty Senate vote of229-92 (in line with recommendations of a special ad hoc committee on ROTC chaired by the late law professor, David A. Kochcry, - and composed of Prof. Charles H .V. Ebert of Geography, Prof. Carmelo A. Privitera of Biology, and student Andrew Steele). A student referendum on April 15 and 16, 1970. backed abolition of .the program by a somewhat narrower vote. At the time. the UB Council vowed to retain ROTC despite any faculty / student referendums , claiming that the jurisdiction was theirs and not that of radicals "inn uenc ~d by Mao and Castro. •· In the course of general campus hullabaloo in 1he late 1960s, militant leftists had sacked the ROTC office in Clark Hall and burned its files in a display of contempt for the organi7ation and to dramatize its move to have the program removed from campu~. Chodrow speculates that the latter schools are certainly nor among the Defense Department's top priorities for reinstatement. He doubts that Defense would catapult UB to the top of the list just because an official decision is made to ask for reinstatement here. In any event. he no tes. University protocol see ms to indicate that any move for n::instatement would have to go from the Student Ahsociation to the Faculty Senate [which voted to abolish ROTC in 1he first place in March of 1970]. · If he had his way, however, Chodrow would just as soon bypass the Senate which he feels might be a tinge unresponsive on the issue. He would appeal · diPC>Otly to PrcsidentSteven ·B. Sample to C laude Welch. chairman of the Faculty Senate. said this week 'that ROTC was based on a contract between the Department of Defense (Air Force) and SUNY. The contract probably w., ini tially signed when UB was a private institution and it may have simply been carried forward when UB merged with SUNY . He said he believes SUNY had to sign off the contract when ROTC left campus. .. The Faculty Senate vote (in 1970) was close to the final nail in the coffin," he said. ROTC had been challenged by stu· dents and facu lt y and faced declini~g enrollments, he recalled. The power to reinstate ROTC would rest with th e President or possibly with the Cha ncellor and Trustees, Welch said. It's more than a curriculum matter. he explai ned ; it i'nvolves contractual matters such as payment of salaries. as well as en tering into a contract with an offcampus group. Welch said di,cussion of ROTC has been a student initiative up lO this point. No plans hav;_beey made by the Faculty Senate lo study the' issue yet, but nothing precludes discussion. He also noted that ROTC is a program of invitation by a branch o(the military; a university's request for a program doesn't, mean ROTC will be started at that campus. 0 �November 21 , 1985 Volume 17, No. 13 oints State clarifies what it calls 'misinformation ' on contract issues EDITOR'S NOTE: The lollowmg state· ment on the "status of negotiations" _ between the State and Umted Universlly ProfeSSIOns. the collect1ve bargaimng agent lor SUNY faculty and prolessronal stall. was ISSued to SUNY campus presi· dents Nov. 15 by Thomas Mannix, asso, Clate v1ce chancellor, employee relations and personnel.

SAI.,ARY DISPAR ITY In the lasl round of ne&otiations, monies appropriated to correct salary disparities were expended pursuaQt to a plan jointly .developed by SUNY and UUP. Thus ~re is a positive track . record with regard to selling aside. and spending funds targeted towards recog· nized disparities. For this round , the State bas offerell to ex pand upon those cooperative efforts by con tinu ing a salary disparity comm ittee with unex- pended funds remaining from the promotio n stud y. In i1s literature. UUP has claimed that the State is ignoring demonstrated salary disparities. The application of a maximum of several million dollars toward the rectification of demonstrated dispariti~s belies this msutuuonal cruelty meted out to the SO\IC:t refu~nih ilnd d1.~~ldent' whos.e onh -en me ..

Ubelaker"s specially is bones - he gets involved when there's no soft tissue left to examine. ne of only 35 cer1ified forensic anthropologists in the country, Ubelaker is called into a case if no one is available locally. The FBI sends evidence to him in brown cardboard cartons. ""These are a lo1 like Chrislm as presents,'' he told the large audience. "You never know what you're going to find inside." One recent box contained small bits of human bone- al11ha1 was lefl after an oil rig exploded. Anolher packa~eco01ained a mummified hand wilh red hquid oozing from il. The liquid IUrned ou11o be nail polish, and 1he hand was probably broughl up from Peru by lourisls, he said. The parcel had been mailed as someone's idea of a joke. The first queslion usually asked when a bone is found is whether it's human. Up to 15 per cent of Ihe lime il"s nol , Ubela_ker said. Whallooked hke a human hand m a jar of formaldehyde was really a beaver pa~. Bear paws, lefl behind by hunlers. ·are often m1staken for human hands once 0 W Douglaa Ubelaker: forenalc anthropolOgist the claws have fallen off. A not her question investigators ask is how old the person was at the time of death . One method of determining this is looking at the epiphyses or caps on the ends of the bones. These caps unite with I he bone iiSe lf as I he body grows older. The different caps unite with the bones at different rates. These rates arc known by studying baselinecolleclions such as I he Terry Colleclion, Ubelaker explained. The Terry Collection. assembled in 1he early 1900s in SL Louis, co01ains I ,700 skeletons of people, each accom~anied by information on the age at death. sex, medical history, and measurements. Hair samples and even some death masks (casts of the face) are also included. Another method of determining age is to X-ray the mouth and examine the s1age of developmenl of 1he Ieeth. This method is very exact in children, he no1ed. A mel hod Ubelaker likes is 10 examine a piece of bone under the m_icroscope. As the bone grows in width, it has rings like those seen in a cross-section of a tree. But as the person ages. tunnels are bored lhrough 1hese rings and filled in. By age 60. I he bone is riddled wilh 1hese lunnels . The tunnels can be counted to determine age. he said. In determining sex, the best area to look a1 is lhe pubis, lhe an1hropologis1 said. The angle of lhe bone is much greater in females. Race is a trickier characteristic to determine because it is not simply a biological phenomenon, Ubelaker said. In general, whites have narrow noses, juuin$ chins, and receding cheekbones, he sa1d. Blacks have wider noses and intermediate faces. Eskimos and Asians have very forward cheekbones and intermediate noses. Long bones are differenl also. Blacks have straight long bones; Asians, curved long bones, and whites, intermediate long bones. · Height is one of the charcicteristics that can be calculated with relative precisioo, Ubelaker said. There are differen1 formula used for the different races and sexes. N ot so easy to determine is the time elapsed since death. One torso (thought to be the yictim of a chainsaw murderer since head , arms. legs, and genital were removed) was found in a cave in Id aho. h was delermined 1ha1 il had been there for four or five years. but in the wet , isolated environment of the cave. the tissue was remarkably well preserved, Ubelaker explained. "A man reported a horse had kicked his wife to death, but Ubelaker found other evidence. . . ." The clima1e, I he acidity of1he soil, and whelher 1he body was exposed 10 scavengers all affect decomposition, he noted . For example. I ,000-year-old bones found in the arid climate of Peru still had soma soft tissue remaining. But in. the tropical rain forest exposed to scavengers, a body can be reduced to bones in two weeks, he indicated. When it comes to identifying a particular individual, signs of previous m~dical treatment can be helpful. For instance, surgical devices placed in bones can be traced to the manufacturer and physician. That was attempted in the case of a six-inch bone found in Anchorage, Alaska. The resl of1he skelelon had been devoured by carnivores. but the animals couldn) ea1 lhrough a melal plate 1ha1 had been placed in this bone lo repair a fracture. .Try as lhey mighl, !hough, the investigators in I his case couldn) 1race the physician lhrough this plate. The reason, Ubelakerdiscovered, was because a veter- hat investigators hope for in a case is somtthing unique that will enable them to identify an individuaL In examining the skull of one woman who had been in a car crash, he found a small wire in the woman's nose. A detective was sent back to the scene of the wreck and came up with what the wire had indicated- the woman's glass eye. Anbther distinguishing feature was that the bones showed the r~ghl side of the woman's face to have been lower than the lefl. " Jf !nybody was going lobe identified, you'd lhink this would be i1," Ubelaker said . .. But it's been three years and this piclure slill hasn 'l been idenlified." Another method of identification is X'rays of the frontal si nus in the skull. This proved helpful in a case of some ew England prostitutes who were inyo lved in Satanism.jle explained. One prostitute who had tilt:ed to the police was s1oned 10 deai!J,by I he olhers. They disposed of the bo<lr, excrp1 for I he skull from the nose up. Before 1he case could go 10 coun, I he skull had 10 be iden1i£ied as 1ha1 of 1he missing woman. As it turned out, a couple of monlhs before she died , she had been 1roubled by a sinus headache and had gone 10 a clinic where X-rays had been taken. The sinuses, as well as otherskull fealures on lhe X-ray, matched those of lhe skull fragmenl and led 10 a murder conviction. Examination of a skeleton sometimes produces different findings I han had been expec1ed. A recen1 case in New England concerned I he skelelon of an 18-year-old white female who had been missing for two years. She had been in some trouble, and il was 1hough1 she died of a drug overdose. "The body was iden1ified, in pari, by a 1oo1h I hat had been chipped and a mark over her eye where a rock had hit her· when she was a tot. The exami nation also revealed a sufprise-several stab marks on her face. There were 23 over her entire body, Ubelaker said. "'It wasn't a drug overdose, b'ut a murder," he noted. ' Investigators went back to the scene and turned up a weapon that was a com· binalion of brass knuckles and knife, which was probably the murder weapon, he said. Ubelaker pointed oul lhe inscriplion ~~i:::d:;;;;~~":!:ci:cr.r on.. of some of the grimmer aspects of forensic anthropology,'' he concluded.

The delegation of increased campus responsibility for financial management follows last month's Board deciSion to · recommend a 1986-87 dormitory operations budget which will require $5.4 million in added income from room rate increases. · • · As a result, the typical average rate for a standard double room for the 1986-87 academic year will be S1,650, compared. to the current UniYcrsityMwide charge of SI.5SO.

A majo r factor cont ributing to room rate variations is utility costs, which range widely ac ross the State and can cause room rates at given locations to vary upward by over S per cent of the average. . Guidelines promulgated under the plan for local management of dorms provide for a system-wide su bsidy to be utilized as necessary to ensure that utility costs, or otner unusual costs or condiM tio ns, will not require any fluctuation iO the average room rate beyond 5 per cent. Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton. Jr .• said that increased management ai the local level "can be expected to offer a variety of residence life educational programs in a · safe and well maintained environment while meeting the requirement to minimize State support of the residence hall program ... The Chancellor pointed .out that if absolute central control of ·rates and bud$elS were continued, "it would contradtct the w.hole trust tqward flexibility and the atJempt to enable campuses to respond quickly and eiJcctively to diverse needs and circumstances." Wharton said that the management plan is designed to insure that all legal commitments with the Dormitory Authority ior bonded indebtedness are met. There will be continued interaction with the campuses and an opportunity for consultation with resident stUdents in setting room rates, he noted. f Overall, the local management guide- · lines are designed to insure that room rates for similar facilities will show only moderate variation amongtamp\JSCS'and not .affect student access or choice, and that differentiation of room rates at a given campus will be permitted only in• accordance with campus plans to avoid student housing assignments on the basis of income. T he Trustees also submitted their capilal co'nstruction budget request . which included a 500,car parking lot, "- S+ I million for health sciences equip\q)j:nt, and planning money for landscaping and flood control at UB . Many large projects at UB, such as the Fine Arts center, aren't listed in this budge t request because money was \ apt? roved in previ?us y~ars, explained-.#'. \rvtng Freedman, vtcechancctlor for capitaJ facilities. The trustees approved $875,000 for rhe 50<T..:ar parking lot to be built near Fronczak Hal l. The $5.1 million item reflects j ust some of the equip ment needed for Squire Hall and Carey-Farber-Sherman, Freedman said . Planning money fo r a lakeshore protectio n project at Lake LaSalle was set at S227,000. Freedman said the project would eventu ally cost abo ut $2 million. The total amou nt of planning, construction and equipment money sought fort he Main Street Campus is $8.87 million, with $2.6 inillion requested fo r Amherst. he said. · Now that the Trustees have made thei r request, the Division of Budget will review it and make recommendations to the governor.

There he learned more aliiiii'fthe SAMS program and MS .and was give n an organizatio nal outline to facilitate setting up the UB SAMS chapter. Smce then, he has selected people to cha1 r the various committees which will help SAMS attain its goal. '' My role is to oversee and make sure things are go ing smoothly," he said. An estimated 35 UB studentS arc now ac tive in SAMS and more are getting mvolved every day. Goldberg reports.

AMS has already s pon~ored several C\'Cnts to begin to meet this ambigoal. Two special nights have been held at local bars and the group worked ~ llh Com muter Affairs to hold a breakla\t. A "David Letterman Night" was rece ntly s taged at Wilkeso n Pub. SAMS .tl\o received 50 cents for each thre e~ d<JII ar bottomless cup of beer sold at Wingfcst. Wasserman reports. Also. the grou p has been th e beneficiary of two spCCJal nights of comedy at Yuk Yuk's. fhrce events planned by SAMS arc manda ted by the national orga nization. One is a "Rock·A-Like" contest, a lip !lynch competition slated for March I . To 4ualify, entrants must pay a S25 fee which · ~ the stan of a S400 sum that each con- S liOU3 ant your MTV? Just help SAMS fight MS testant is required to raise before the night of the event. Contestants are encouraged to enlist a campaign manager to help rai se funds, and most are repre~ se ntatives of a campus group which also helps them raise the necessary amount. '' Already many groups are working to raise money. . . From now until the contest the whole campus will be packed with fund~raising events.... Goldberg comm en ted. On the night of the contest the Univcr~ si ty commu nit y will be invited ..to cast their votes. A S2 admission fee will be charged and two one dollar vote cards issued. ..The contestant with the most money raised, including vote card s, will win, .. Wasserman said. Although they are not yet specifically determined. he reports that big prizes will be awarded for first , second, and third plaees and that all entrants should receive a gift. UB's winner will then compete in a regional lip synch cpntest. There are 22 schools competing in this region, includ~ ing Buffalo State College and the University of Rochester. The winner of that con~ test will be decided on the basis of talent. Finally, winners from the eight regions of the US will compete for an MTV summer internship .. A second event mandated nationally is a February I "Kick-Off• party. This will be the lip synch contestants' first official oUting in costume. Again, an admission fee will be charged' and people will be asked to cast vote cards for their favorite contestant. "We'd a lso like to have President Sample speak and have other important figures at the party but nt>thing is confirmed. ye t," Wasserman added. On February 14 , another event requested by SAMS national will be held. .. The Heart of Rock and Roll."' a simulated giant heart, will be erected for peo~ pic to fill with quarters. " Ideally we'd like to put the heart in Bouleva rd Mall for the day and then bring it onto campus for some type of event that ni ght, .. Wasserman said. Other plans of the organization include a December 6 comedy night in Talbert Bullpen. featuring comedians from Yuk Yuk's. "This was planned as a good alternative to drinking since th e drinking age will have c_h anged by then ... Goldberg noted. Camino Real. both vis~a-vis their problematic position in the " real" world and their necessa rily ephemeral quality. For example, stage left will vaguely suggest the dreamy South American hotel where events more or less take place. Audiences, however, will be able to s~e the building supports as in a Hollywood set, thus rein~ forcing the illusory nature of Williams' creation. In designing Camino Real, Perry says he has been especiall y influenced by the work of Giorgio de Chirico. the 20th century artist whose powerful. disturbing paintings use steep perspec~ tive, mannequin f\gures, empty space, ·and forms used out of context, to foster a sense of mystery and lonel\~es~. Perry i~ also lighting desig ner for th e production. Costume de signer Esther Kling has scoured the New York Costume Collection and other locales looking for mate~ rials needed to construct the many cos~ tumcs needed for the 29 players. She also went to ·an antique clothing store in New York where she ''found the greatest high hee led shoes yo u've ever seen.'' Other items, such as a period pearl necklace. were purchased from New York street vendors. Actors playing the·historical f literary figures have been encouraged to read specific text s or to consult other sou rces in order to come up with a look which meshes with the director's interpre· tat!on, Klio_g said.

A raffle and o ther added attractions are planned. An event which would involve President Sample is also in the works. Wasserman would like to hold a pie auction in Capen Lobby and allow the highest biqder to throw 1he pie at Sample or other administrators, faculty, and stu~ dent leaders. A button~selling campaign.is currently underway. Buttons reading "I helped UB bust MS" are on sale by SAMS ,..vo\unteers. . SAMS would like to expand beyond campus events and get the business community involved. Wasserman is trying for co~sponsored events, donations, product rebates and other things. Another essential element in the campaign is education. The goal is to make people aware of the disease. SAM ·s educational committee has mounted an ad campaign and a lecture series fo r medical and other stude nts. Recently, ads have appeared in The Spectrum which offer facts about MS. "MS affects people ages 18-35. the sa me age as the majority of people at the University so it's important that we get concerned," Goldberg said. "200 people a_re diagnosed with it every week. ''MS is a disease of the central nervous system that inhibits nerve impulses which command everyday functioning. Symptoms vary and no o ne knows the caUse or the cure." · Wasserman asserts that education and raising money to sponsor research are the important goals of SAM S and that the MTV concert prize is only an incentive to excel in those efforts. " Having the MTV concert here would be great, but the important pat=t is raising money for MS to find the cure and the ca use." he maintained . 0 Camino Reai From page 12 doq uen t and rhythmic as a piece of music." Ju st how will audiences react to all thi!!? Elkin says he isn't sure. Older a_udicnces familiar with the heady theat~ neal experimentation of the 1950s and 1960s "may feel a little nostalgic." Younger, college~age, crowds, however, will likely discover a theatre .. which is ava nt-garde all over again, ·• owing to the ge neral dearth of experimental theater in the U.S. today, states the director. .

Lake Wobegon has become a kind of hometown in the hearts of thousands of listeners." Led bywriter/ noweUstlautoharpist Gan:laon Keillor, owr two million people take a fanciful journey to the nctitious town of Lake Wobegon. the " liHietown that time forgot, that the decades cannot Improve, where all the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average," during weekly broadcast& of A Pratrte ltc>fM C-Ion. The program can be heard on FM88 on Saturdays at 6 p.m. and Is rebro1dcast Sund1ys at noon. Opening the show, the &-foot 4inch Keillor sings the Hank Snow song ..Hello Love" in his lofty baritone. What follows Ia two hours of music. comedy, and entertainment, with an eclectic mix of musical styles including folk, gospel, bluegrass, blues. jazz, country, and honky-tonk plano . Regular performers the Butch Thompson Trio are joined by guests such as a Scandinavian folk group performing songs In their native tongue. or people who play mus1c using only their mouths. Jncluded In every edition is a visit to the Imaginary small town via a monologue which Keillor begins apologetically with "Well, it's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon , my hometown," signalli ng to seasoned listeners that It's been far from dull there, as he presents the latest perils and deeds of the citizenry. Although Keillor has worked sometimes three days on these monolog ues, he does r:-ot carry notes on stage, nor does he memorize what he has written. He is a natural storyteller and believes that "'In telling a story, a person Is supposed to be carried away." His gilt for spinning tall tales seem·s to have been acquired from his great uncle Lew Powell , who died in 1983at the ageof93. Powell was a salesman who enjoyed just talking to people, and the young Gary Keillor, hiding in the shadows of a darkened room, would watch as the elder tale teller would seem to go Into a trance. His stories took place "about ten years on either side of the turn of the century." Uncle Lew's assemblpge of stories wasn't as numerous as Keillor's is today, but the young;l:y never tired of hearing them, e n though heh~ardsometales up ten.time~. · ~~alin~ wl!~ family and the life of the earty 1900's,· these stories helped devetop 1 sense of plica tor the young novelist. 8 orn in 1942 in Anoka, Keillor Is an· authentic Minnesot'n (as it Is properly pronounced i n Minna-- sota).

They were a very religious family, attending church twice on Sundays. Radio was allowed, however, so it played an important part in young Gary's life.

The distinct musical styles of the city's Christian, Jew· ish, Jslamic, and African peoples emerge individually. thf¥1 blerfd into a complex sound tapestry In which 15 languages are heard. Fragments of traditional songs, and fuxt8posing rhythms and scales are woven throug ~ut the oratorio, wh ich is set to the English poems of the. distinguished Israeli author Yehuda Amichai. The result Is a moving celebration of the ancient religious roots of humankind, as they are deeply felt in a city where so much belief is packed into a small area. ''Jerusalem, " w~ has been staged in Rome, Israel. and New York , was inspired by a trip Ms. Swados took several years ago to the Holy Land . during which Mr. Am ichai acted as her guide. Ust~ ing to the diverging and convefging music all around her, Ms. Swadol decided " Jerusalem is a sound city. I set out nor to depict a naturaltstic, realistic . state ment about lhe Mideast today, or to present a linear dramatic piece. I wanted to create a dream, a musical tour.'' She subsequently developed her idea with a grant from the Ford Foundation. Last year, in a review of a produc~ lion at La Mama Experimentat Theatre in New York, the New York Time5 called " Jerusalem " "an uplifting musical concordance.. performed with "the fervor of a street festival ." "Jerusalem" follows a succession of theatrical triumphs for Eliz.abefh who, at 34. has already created ·a body of work that establishes her as a major artistic force in American musical theater.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

China's biggest environmental .headache is deteriorating ai r and water quality, particularly in urban areas. The Chinese. he riotes , use high sulphur coal for cooking, and for in,dustrial power.

It's UB's entry in the 1985 International Human Powered Vehicle Associa· tion's contest which was held at Indian apolis Speedway in Indiana in September. One of many designs of a new kind of vehicle that is a modified bicycle, except that this design has three wheels. the vehicle designed and built by students of UB'; Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering averaged 34.35 miles per hour in the 200-meter race. The fastest vehicle reached speeds of 59 miles per hour. Even though this ve hicle; placed only 37th in the speed contest. similar vehicles with linear drives have not been able to exceed 39 miles per hour. The UB vehicle was the fastest linear drive ve hicle entered in the Ind ianapolis· race . Three other linear drive vehicles were entered. Asserting that the vehicle could break the record for a linear drive vehicle, Michael Sobolewski, a UB engineering student, said, "This vehicle cou ld go 4045 miles per hour.·· All whee ls arc 24-inch bicycle tires modified with special bladed spokes. The small wheels have less rolling resistance than standard 27-inch bicycle tires. . "When you are pedaling a standard bicycle. 90 per cent of your effort is to res1st the wind pressure," said Sam T . Wildofsk;t. the engineering student. who drove the vehicle in Indianapolis. The vehicle has a housing that was designed by the current class of engineering students. The linear drive mechanism allows the housing to have a small frontal area. thus reducing the aerod)'namic drag. Other drive systems have a large gear in the front , requiring a taller housing. Designed in airfoil shape with a small spoiler on the bottom. the housing is made from fiberglass with a foaltj plastic underside. The spoi ler reduces underflow· of air and any undesired lift which might pull the ve hicle off the ground. Ronald M . Reit z. one of the UB engi·neeri ng students who worked on the project , has speculated that solid wheels might reduce the drag caused by the wheels. Reitz's paper on the vehicle won secq nd prize in an American ·I nstitute of Aeronautics a nd Astronautics contest for student papers. 0 T ne of the advantages of th e linear drive is that the pedal stroke length is adjustable to any driver.

By PATRICIA M. COSTANZO " W e _have a fellow here fro_m L1ege. He has dev~loped · a method of adding iron nitrate to clays and this seems to result in sqme interesting catalytic properties. Would you and your grad students be interested in coming over to the Chemistry Department to hear this sc;minar?" This simple telephone call from Bob Kurland , professor of chemistry at' UB, to my advisor. Dr. R.F. Gjcso. was the beginning of my adventures irr Europe. Dr. Giese. a clay mint;ralogist in the Geology Department of SUNYBuffalo, along with his graduate st udents (including myself) went to hear'what Professor Pierre Laszlo. from the lnstitut de Chimie of the Universite de Liige au Sart-Tilman in Liege. Belgium, had to say. The things that Dr. Laszlo was doing with clays interested us very much. Because our questions interested Dr. Laszlo we continued our conversation right through dinner. Before dinner had ended Dr. Laszlo inviteO me to come to Belgium to work in his organic chemistry laboratory, but from the clay mineralogist's point of view. On September I. 1984 my daughter Rebecca and I left Buffalo to live in Liege for six month~. While Rebecca. who was 15 at the time. would complete her stud ies via a mail correspondence course and attend a French-speaking "lycee" to make friends and to learn the culture. I was to work. full-time in the labs at the new university, which, because it is located in the little village of Sart-Tilman. is referred to as Sart-Tilman to differentiate it from the old university which is located in ttie city of Liege. The buildings of Sart-Tilman are located on top of a small. elongate, forested ridge that is part of the foothills of the Ardenne Mountains. The academic system in Europe is. in many ways, quite different from that in the United States. The students in the university are called university students. while those in high school are referred to as cQIIege students. University pr:ofs arc required to give mid-term and final oral e ~am inations. and may or may not give written exams. A group of professors. collectively. passes judgement on each student in turn. Performance on the oral exam is the factor that determines if the student passes or fails. The oral finals at Liege are grueling; they may take up to three days per class. The students are not scheduled for their exams, so t.hat all must report each day until their name is.oflfndomly called. The exams start at 8 a.m. and continue until 10 p.m. each day. The cafeterias close at the end of the semester, so for finals each student must provide his own lunch. All of the classes in the Colleges, and many in the university, "'are conducted without textbooks. The stUdents have only their notes to stud y from. The university, which is a liule richer than ·the colleges, is able to provide its students with ladies' and men's restrooms (or simply toilets in Europe). The college my daughter attended provides only one toilet room for all, males and females, teachers and students alike, and fully expects that espite the asthetic appeal of the setting, the buildings are often D phr.sically They are all u~comfortable. bu1lt of reinforced concrete. This gives ~~:u~:tiil~~~~o~~J~~~~r~~~n~:;~ t~o noor, and the rooms are as damp and as cold as those in a castle built from stone. Wood is scarce in Europe, anrl therefore expensive to use for building purposes. The availabilit.y of lumber is not the only consideration when choosing building materials in northern Europe. If wood were available. the extreme humidity would rot it in just a few years. Modern private homes usc steel beams and poured concrete even for upper story noors. Besides a scarcit y of wood in Europe, there is an extreme shonage of money. Supporting research is difficult. Until recently. Lie~e was one of the leaders of Belgian mdustry. Its ~~:t~~~ ~ffs~to~h:~ff~~~o;; :~~~ and depressed coal and steel market, and of the growth of high technology in the north (there is fierce rivalry betwen the Flemish-speaking northerners and the French-speakin~ Walloonese of the so uth), the Belg1an government gave generously to build and stock the new university at Sart-Tilman in hopes of creating a new. self-sustaining economy. Unfortunately, this was a one-time investment and that money is now nearly gone.

Of course this high level of - productivity might be aided by the fact that many of the scientists and technioians have salaries tota)ly funded by grant money, and that in Europe a great deal of obedience and respect is commanded by those who bear the title of Professor. Only <the head of a department is ever a Professor. all the other scientists are referred to as a doctor or simply as a scientisr.. There is a complex hierarchy that must be . strictly followed. Wben ~he . Profess!"< IS in the department there IS httle sOCial contact within the group; everyone works and works in silence. Even the technicians are expected to contribute to the scientific end of things and are expected to do research and publish jus\ as the scientists do_. In Laszlo's lab everyone, including his head secretary, was required to write a twcrthree-page work rtport every two w~ks. Oh! How especially at the 4 p.m. coffee break; a daily ritual attended by all. At this level. there are no class or cultural · barriers. M I grew to know and to love these people I learned many things I had fgrgotten, or had never known, . living in our fast paced America. so distant from Europe. . To add to our discomfort, we soon lear'ned that Americans are not necessarily well thbught of. Most Europeans really do carry an image of the "ugly Amencan." It W8$ always assumed that we were rich- "Aren' all 1\merieans?" Their prototype for the average American citizen comes from television shows such as "Dallas" and "Dynasty," which Are both aired in Europe. I was often asked if all American women are spoiled, selfish, stupid. and concerned only with makeup, hairstyles, fashion. and sex, just as they arc on the American soaps. • Capitalism continues to be thought of as an evil that makes all Americans materialistic. One of the Europeam' deepest concerns is about our aui!ude toward them and our missile bases. Especially the yowrg people think that •He think or the continent and her people as expendable satellites. They feel that the presence of our missiles makes them the prime and principal target for Russian missiles, aod that we, so far away, are nearly immune to nuclear auack. They were genuinely surprised when I explained that not any of the Americans I know share these feelings, and that the American public is very much concerned about the possibilitY. of missiles falling on American so1l. The need for " communication between the peoples of Europe and us is too apparent to me, In France I was given a compliment!'at the expense of my country. a woman said to me .. You are nice, you are not like an American ... W neither .a telephone, automobile or ith over 3,000 miles of otean between us and home and having "The new university in the foothills of the Ardennes is built of concrete; it has a heaviness." we all hated this time consuming chore. but never once did we not hand in ·our reports. In fact . many of 4S would stay glued to an Apple until late at night. The fear of not handing in "The Report " on time was so great that some of the scientists would work until the last bus into the city left. and they had no choice but to sleep on tbinly carpeted cement floors, or take the one and one-half hour walk to their homes in the city. When Laszlo was not in the lab. everyone relaxed by several degrees. One reason for this is that the "Professor" has complete control over their present jobs. and by way of letters of recommendation. over their future employments. One seldom jokes with "the boss." There arc. of course. bright sides to research in Liege. One of the most important is the ability of the researchers to continuously produce results. in spite or difficulties or shortages. Another is the quickl y made. deep warm friend ships among all the workers in the lab. at lunch and Director of PubUc 'Atfairs HARRY JACKSON Executive Ectitor, University Publ ications .ROBI!m•'f!

The weather was no comfon , it was generally unpleasant, cool, grey, and extremely humid, typical of the northern European countries ovor which the Westerlies carry moist air from the Channel. It rains more than 200 days a year in Belgium. and when it isn' raining it is almost always cloudy. Our apartment. built of brick and stone, had windows that faced north and so received only a few moments of sun each day, assuming it wasn't ntining. Because of this. and the fact the Europeans are a much hardier foil. than we and believe that there is no necessity to heat the home (or school or industry) between the end of April and sometime after September. the humidity inside our apartment. frequently, reached the saturation point.' My hand-washed stockingSneeded a minimum of four days to dry. and the only way to prevent my collection of salt crystals from dissolving was to put them into a dessicator in the lab. When the humidity turned to precipitation we learned that our kitchen skylight had no less than six leaks, a nd we had only three buckets.

Volume ,7, No. 12 day for most of us, I would trade my labcoat for a raincoat, arm myself with my umbrella, and walk to the bus stop. On the way there was a large thermometer on the ouiSide wall of the house of the concierge. Most often it would either read a degree or two warmer than the thermometer in the· lab or be the s•me as the interior temperature. This made getting warm a real challenge. , Because of the gracious lifestyle of the people in Europe , you can always find flower shops, bakeries , (boulangeries}, and a few wine and tobacco stores open on Sunday. Alth~ugh we were relatively segregated from the day-to-day social life of Liege, the people's custom of never visiting without bringing Oowe"' or pastries to · their -hosts was soon made viSible to us as we traveled the city's buses. The majority of the citizens of Liege nill do their local traveling by bus and riding buses can give a foreigner .a good picture of the country's life. On Saturdays, Sondays, and the religious holid.ays, people- of all ages would board the buses armed with bouqueiS qf flowers or prettil~ wrapped packages of worl<! famous Belgian pastry to visit . their friends and relatives. 8 ~ausc \ Belgium, qpecially Liege, is predominantly Catholic, it .was honored by a_visit ,from Pope Paul. The Pope, during his visit, had real reservations about the devotion of his Belgian lambs, and the Belgians had ~~~~u~~,e~::~o~~nac~~~~~~ ~::~ much the visit would cost them. To host a per on of the Pope's rank costs a lot of money. A visit such as this demands linancial consideration not only. M the social aspects but also of a high level of securi ty. Many people (church-goers and non-<:hurch-goers) • were upset about their hard earned tax dollars being spe nt in this manner. Some people did benefit from the Pope's visit to Liege - the garbage collectors. A week before the Holy Father was to be in Liege the garbage men went on strike. In liege. it is a law that all garbage must be put out at the curb neatly confined in brown plastic garbage bags. Usually two or three bags a week would suffice an '3verage family. This amount of ga rbage at the curb doesn' sound too threatening unless you realize that .the most popular types of housing in Belgium is high rise apartments. With tens of families at each address the situatiOn soon took on alarming proportions with literally mountains of garbage lining the sidewalks. Although the number of hot, humid-days in Liege that summer were few, three of those days blessed the city just before the Pope's visit. To walk the streets in nasar comfort required conslant adjustment to avoid any breeze that blew from the mountains of garbage that were becoming moie ripe each day. The day before Pope Paul arrived , the city agreed to the union demands and an intensive garbage co11ection was launched. but only along the Pontifical route. Those of us who lived in areas of the city not blessed by His Holiness·s presence spent as much time a~ possible indoors .... One of our favorite pastimes was to frequent some of the thousands of pubs that were found on practically every street in Liege. The amount of beer consumed in Belgium is second only to that of Germany. a much larger country. The Belgians boast of over 500 different kind s of beer: There is light, medium, and dark beer. There is beer made with fruit - cherry. lemon and lime, for example. There. are so me that are referred to as Trapp1st. These beer-like drinks are made by monks in abbeys located throughout Belgium. I was not able to visit any of these · abbeys because, although they are open to the public, women are not all_owed to enter. even to attend the servaces. Each Trappist brew is unique. and they are so powerful thai their alcoholi~ content (up to 12%) is marked on tbe cap so 1hat one can tell what kind of experienCe to ei.pect. This is notable in a country that bas no law requiring content labeling. What I enjoyed most, besides the warm friendliness of the people, was to sip a Belgian coffee (the best in the world) served with a piece of Belgian chocolate. The really elepnt cafes would serve a truffe - a soft milk chocolate in a hard cllocolale shell which is rolled in bitter cocoa - along with coffee. Even Coca-Col~ts royal treatment in Belgium. A small glass bottle (the kind you never see here anymore) of "Coca" and a tall, narrow glass filled with ice cubes and garnished with a slice of lemon was delivered to your table on a tray by a waiter who would pour half of the bottle in the glass for you before setti ng them both on the table in front of you. What elegance! The pa"se that refreshes will never be the same. All in -all, my stay in. Liege" was a rewarding and productive experience. During my visi t I was the co-organizer of the Annual Meeting of the Belgian Clay Contact Group .. Bec~use Liege is the crossroads of Europe we had speakers and guests from England, France, Wales, and Germany; as well as from all parts of Belgium and even from the United States. My research resulted in a paper now in preparation 1 on the Effect of Prebiotic Organic Molecules on the Evolution of Cl~ like Minerals. and in the submissio of a patent. which concerns some of th work I did with clay films. I have learned that there is a large world ou t there populated by wonderful warm people who think , act. and have a philosophy different from mine. Their way seem to work well for them. They are healthy and relaxed and know how to enjoy all parts of . life. I don' know if I could successfully live in their society on a long term basis. but I do know that they have enriched my conce ption of the meaning of life and friendship.

Michel, who was chosen to replace editor-in-chief Chris Shaw at the end of last month, has taken the lead of the editorial board with enthusiasm and a desire to make the paper a prominent influence in the University commu!lity. "The purpose of the paper should be to ex pres$ an opinion, the student opinion," she said. • Michel developed this vi ion of What U B's student paper sho uld become during the two-a nd-one-half years that she has been associated with T/Ie Spectrum ''I'm not here to upset things, but I'm not here to please either ... . I won't compromise editorial policy for advertisers or for fear .that it may upset the administration .. The Spectrum is an important part of US and should keep students informed: .. ." as a writu and minorit¥ affairs editor. Despite this familiarity w1tb the workings of the paper and the desire to make some changes, however, Michel was reluctant to submit her name for consideration for the editor-in-chief position. "Part of me wanted the job but another part of me said that I mar not get it and that it may interfere With my school work," she recalls. • Her ambitions for t.he paper out- weighed her reservations, and one minute before deadline she submitted a statement of purpose which put her in the running for the non-paid position. She subsequently was elected by a vote of the editonal board. Michel is the third woman who has served as editor-in-chief and, a native of Haiti, she is the first black to hold the position. The button she wears which reads " Respect and protect the black woman" testifies to the fact that she is proud of both of these statistics. Michel pointed to her backgro und working for The Spectrum and The Buffalo New• as factors which will influence her performance in the editor's slot. Call· ing The Spectrum her "first love on campus," she has been involved with the stu· dent paper since transferring to U B's Communication Department from Queens College. She first served as a staff writer ana then moved through the ranks to serve as thCfirst minority affairs editor, a position that she proposed be created as part of the editorial board . "Being involved with The Spec/rum has been a great opportunity to have inp ut at UB," she noted . Last summer Michel interned at The Buffalo News. serving as a writer for the "Lifestyles" section. Also during that time she was awarded a S I,000 scholarship from the Buffalo Black Media Coali- tion for "achievement in· collegiate journalism and high potential for professiOnal · jour~illil'lll( she_ add.ell,. ichel ha's several obstacles to overcome before she can begin to bol· ster the paper's prestige. Although she has a full·sized edi torial' staff of 20, there are M office. She commented that past editors have kept a closed door belween them- selves and the writing staff, creating an Another difficulty facing Michel is overcoming a large debt accumulated during past years of misin811agement by the paper's business staff. Michel noted atmosphere of '5uperiority and sub. ordination. " I have an open door policy . .. and try to keep the hierarchy as unstruc,ured as possible," she said. *Like a machine, all of our parts need \0 work together well." Also lO facilitate a cooyerative atmosphere, Michel calls meeungs open to all staff wheneveran editorial decis1on needs to be made. Michel's open door policy is extended to all U B students. The paper is run by stu<lents for students. she maintains, and she wants more people to become · involved. "I want all students to know that The Spectrum is opeD to them - we welcome st udent input and want all students to be involved,,. she said. . Adding that writing for the paper is a good opportunity for professional experience for students of all majors, especially English. Michel said her entire staff is ready to welcome newcomers and show them the ropes. • Michel plans to maintain 't he traditional make-up of the paper, with some modifications. She hopes to eventually decrease the amount of advert ising as the debt becomes more manageable and incre~ the number of "op-ed" and "feedbac1<" pa~es. ' "This is a cucle though," she noted . ..Students have to hand in more for this to happen." She also expects to print more photo essays, like recent backpage photos of Capen lobby traffic and Wingfest. "Students like to see themselves in their paper," she commented, The most apparent contribution that Michel will make, however, will be found in her editorials. This is an enjoyable pan of her new poshion, an opponunity to voice student concerns, which she haS done,.in the past by organizing campus protests on issues like the SUNY change m billing policy. While expressing The '(i{Mctrum stand on an issue in her editorials, she hopes to stir controversy and elicit faculty and student response. "I'm not here to upset things but I'm not here to please either," Michel said. " I won\ compromise editorial policy for our advertisers or for fear that 1t may upset the administration .... The Spectrum is an important part of UB and should keep studeats informed." Among the cumnt student issues she plans to address is a recent change in the age of financial independence. Before a recent resolut(.on was passed, students oould claim independence from their parents at the age of 22; now that minimum age has been raised to 24. Students should also be concerned about impending financial aid cuts propo5l'd by President Reagan, she added. that the business manager is accountable only to the editor-in-chief, who most often has no background in accounting, economies, and financial management. " In 1983 the business manager doubled n her shon tenure as editor-in-chief, Michel has already become aware of · Imany negative and positive as pee oft he few staff writers and reporters working for the paper this semester, making it necessary for editors to contribute articles regularly. Much of the staff shortage can be ·attributed to a change in the requirements of a special s~ction of English 202, an advanced writing class. •The class used to be set up so that the 12 to 20 students enrolled would have to write ei$ht to 12 articles f6r us to pass the· class. Smce then, the instructor has left and tbe new instructor doesn't re~uire that his students write for us." MIChel explained. This change affects the present and the, future of the paper, she added, since most of the editors and staf( reporters tradi· tionally &rl' students wh9 ~gan working for the paper while taking thaf class. The majoritr of Michel's current editorial board, meluding herself, took the journalism class, and the change in class procedures threatens to break this continuity. his salary and we didn't know about it until the end of the year audit was done by the University . ... Last year•s business manager kept reporting that we were getting out of debt but now we're more in the hole than we were lastyear, .. she said ... We have to do something to make the business manager more honest and true to The Spectrum." Currently the business staff is working with Michel to revise the business manager position to prevent the de bt ~ from growing. They are also trying to manage th e deficit. The paper, operated as an independent corporation housed on University property. is funded only through advertising revenue and has no other income from student or other organizations. "In the past we've had to ask for loans from SA and S ub-Board; this year we've just been asl<ing them to pay for their advertising up front and increasing the amount of advertising in the paper in order to get the revenue to publish, .. Michel explained. ichel's first effort as editor-in-chief bas been to create a friendly, cooperative ~.IIJoO~pl_le!" ,in Tht Spectrum ;r M position. On the negative side, her work at the paper has taken away from the time she spends on the work required for the classes she's taking this semester. She is carryin$ a 16-credit course load and gets no credit for her work on The Spectrum. Her position also has detracted from her social life. "Once you become editor-in-chief you're no longer free, you're married to the paper," she said. On a more positive note. the position has given her an excellent opportunity to explore career options. She came to UB with a general interest in the media, but her work with The Spectrum has helped her define a focus. " ow I know that I'm definitely interested in print journalism. After UBI plan to go to.J!rad school for journalism and to law sc6ool. After that I'd like to be a polit' al "\Porter," Michel explained. Despite the temporary stalling of her social and academic life, Michel maintains that the positive aspects of her new job make it worthwhile. "I enjoy what I'm doing so that balances ev~~qi~ pu! 1 ~ sl)e co)lpludq;j; 0 �HAROLD "DMIIE" LATOUR Pesitielt: CJess: THE lorward SP.OIOf Age: 21 lleitlot 6'4 ..... sdoeel: OeW•H Chnton Tbe Bronx.

Friedenberg said in one of a series of lectures he gave · here last · · week. Friedenberg is the feisty, outspoken 1960s youth gu ru whose books \The Vanishing Adolescent and Coming of Age in Anierica were considered "must reading" 15 years ago when he taught here. P Friedenberg left UB in 1970'<fiti'ing the height of campus turmoil over U.S. tnvolvcment in Vietnam for a position at Dalhou~ic University in ova Scotia.

Like American youths. young Canadian!'~ feel that achieving adult status is at lca!l.t partially based on the financial mdcpcndcncc that comes with securing a permanent jo ''This leaves the youth category openended in Can a . "he said. '' Its members arc not nccessa · v youn¥: they'rt; more like the 'corner s' m William F. Whyte's classic Street Corner Society of a half century ago. A youth culture can not form under s uch conditions because there is not enough sense of separateness from ad ult s. and no sense whatever of enjoying a moratorium. You're just put on hold indefinitely. and sometimes under conditions of such privation that there can really be no sense of community.'' hicdcnberg observed. ' What one finds in Canada instead of a you th culture. says Friedenberg, is a plethora of"'issue-orieotcd semi-subcultures" conce rned with suc h issues as the environme nt . women's reproductive rights, gay libera tion. and a host of other causes. In fact. one can find most every kind of special interest group except the "grossly neoconservative celebrants of personal privilege that have established themselves so conspicuously in the environs of Dartmouth College. .. And may God continue to spare us"that. he interjected With a snicker. "To Canadian students. flaunting your conservatism and pride of privilege would be like bragging about being white. It 's not only in bad taste and possi~ bly a viqla tion hf Canada's still rather sq ueak y human-rights legislation, but it suggests yo u fear people wouldn' know what you arc unless you told them." Absence of fi revolutionary spirit also works against development' of a youth culture, he sa id . This doesn't mean that Canadians arc passive, Friedenberg explained. just that rebellion is not part of the Canadian psyche. "A youth cuhure can only develop:· Friedenberg believes, among young people "who share a common, albeit ephemeral, belief in their moral right to assert and, indeed, dramatize their difference from their elders and their elders' culture. anadian youth, in Freidenberg's opinion. do not face the intergeneraC tional hostility that encourages development of a youth culture in the U.S. In fact, he contends that Americans are the onlr social group which Canadians feel free 10 show hostility towards. which only goes to show, he says, .. how hung up on being nice" they really arc. .. Where a hostile American adult would attack the young - sometimes fatally - an equally hostile Canadian would be more likely to patronize. This is harder to deal with. but easier to live with. This is not to say, however. that the level of general hostility is lower in Canada than in t-he U.S. , Friedenberg notes. To the contrary, the celebrated author and educator maintains. it is higher. But Canadians. he elaborates. don't expcrietJCC "peaks of rage and violence that disfigure - and so metimes also ornament - the American way of life. " Where American society tends to be infuriating." he continues, .. Canadian society tends to be depressing. Where Amenca'n society tends to be joyful and passionate. Canadian society tends to be cautious. which also gets to be depressing ... What " oppressive for Canadian youth, Friedenberg says. is not the overt hostility such as American youths face from their elders. but rather the .. caution .. which seems inherent in the Canadian culture, plus the elders· "lack of trust in the future and their consequent lack of hopeful vision... f According to Friedenberg, these traits seem paradoxical in a country so rich in natural and human resources. onetheless it is a .. common conditi on," one he believes is tied io Canada 's "'prolonged and p~deful a~ptance of its colonial status. \ Friedenberg a ·cused the media in Canada and the U.S. of'oflen .. reinforcing and va lidating" images of ado lescents which are • ublly if not blatantly hostile; images. he says, which often portray them as "irresponsible, as vanda ls, and as drug abusers." He thinks it iror 1C that adults criticize adolescents for r <hi biting many of the same skills. rol.:s. and attitudes they would lind app·.aling in other aduhs. yet hold adolesccrts "personally responsible for their defir.1encics and delinquencies. "There is a kind of perverse hypocrisy at work h1..re ... Friedenberg thinks. " We .ignore r"'.! ways in which members of a particul.tr social group arc entrapped by the circumstances of their lives. except insofar as these circumstances mold their characters and personalities. Then we try to improve their characters by education, therapy. and judicial sanction while leaving unchanged and largely unexamined the social forces that have trapped them" to begin with. hat's e ncour aging. Friedenberg finds, is the emergence of a new genre of criti cally acclaimed films. popular in both Canada and the United S tates. that treat you th respectfully; films such as .. The Breakfast Clu b;· .. Vision Quest .. and .. I ~ Candles:· .. The young people in these films arc not patroni7.ed. ridiculed, wept over, or treated as psychological or social problems." Rather. he continued. they are •·preSented just as older characters aJ:e: as persons. constrained by circumstance to live as best they can wi th in the limits set by their social roles ... Anot her hopeful sign. Friedenberg notes. is that these film s suggest that Canadian and American cultu res are experiencing "'a dcdine in the val ue of machismo." Young male protagonists featured in them arc allowed to show their fee lings more readily and "to claim nurturancc and affection from people of either gender when they need it. -Though ·with women the break in tradition is less obv ious. Friedenberg rejoices that there arc "no pom-pom girls" among the female protagonists. Young female leads .. often portray characters that are ··a$&res_sive and correspondingly less bitchyhostile - and more competent." W To what does Friedenberg credit this soc ial awakening? On a basic level. he simply feels that youth are being shown in a more positive light because "they're sick of paying 10 be insuhed.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

L The Greeks By JILL-MARIE ANOIA ike a phoenix rising from the ashes. fraternities and sOrorities are enjoying new life at U B, a rebirth that follows more than a decade of ba nishment from !he SUNY system . Greek traditions at UB began before the turn oft he century, were stalltd.for 14 years in the '60s and 70s. and now enjoy·a steadily increasingly popularity. More than mere social clubs. soro rities and fraternities offer their members camaraderie. academic encouragement, and an opportunity for community service. The greeks were a real in(luencc on cam pus in the 1950s. and could be again. according to Dr. Richard Siggelkow. professor emeritus of counseling and educational psychology who came here in the late 50s. He estimates that greeks were about 10 per cen1 of the student population then. but took· turns in c'o ntrolling most of the activities - lhe yearbook. The Spectrum. the Student Association. "The· greeks were responsible for a great deal oC student service. They had study and exam services and provided friendship and support," Siggelkow noted ...They made it no_t so easy to get lost in the crowd here .... He feh the system was weak. however, primarily because the organizations. lacked housing. There was no "greek row .. lined with columned houses that the brothers lind sisters could call home. The University fccognite<t that shortcoming and made plans to remedy it. "We actually had blueprints fora series of houses facing Main Street, to be located where the subway station now sta nd s," Siggelkow recalls: "They were going to be for a mix of greek and indep'e-R.dent students. every other house or so mething." The decision 10' become a state university interfered, however. and "the whole idea was junked.~ This was only a minor stumbling block for the greeks compared to the SUNY~Idc ban. on fraternities and so rorities. Imposed m the late '60s. Apparently the work of a cha ncellor who disliked fraternities, the ban prohibited any socia l fraternity or so rority with a national affiliation from operating on SUNY campuses. "II really wasn't fair." says Siggelkpw .. . A long legal battle ensued. Fraternity and so rorit)'members argued in court for th e right to continue as before. but the . They're enjoying new life at UB final ruling upheld the legali!Y of the ban·. Siggelkow suggests the students might have had more success in court if they had argued ins tead for their right to association. · The ban forc;:ed most chapters to resign th~ir national charters: only one UB soronty was abl e tQ thrive off carripus. The C~i Qmega sisters purchased a house .on Ntagara Falls Boulevard and retained th eir o ri ginal charter. For the most part. however. the greeks were gone. Their departure left a void in student le adership. Siggelkow recalls. ''Some stud~n\ s did emerge as campus leaders but organization was missing and there was no continuity any more." . In 1977. almost as mysteriou sly a!\ it ~ad been initially imposed. the ban was lifted. "With a stroke of the pen the Trustees decided greeks were to be allowed back. No one really knows why," Siggelkow said. "but that year they finally paid attenuon to students }who were rallying for the return ... T oday more than 20 grcCk organiza- tions are represented here. The specific number is hard to determine, because the numbers seem to change daily. noted Larry Alperin, president of the Inter Greek Council (IGC). ·:My chart of the active groups is outdated the day it's made." he. addc;d.

All hough the g reek system is growing. no clear agreement on th e cau~e for the increase seems to exist. Siggelkow attributes the growth to' a natural and perpetual cycle in student lifestyles and interests. "Things come a nd. go. the unrest will come back too: it has been obser\'cd that every quarter of a ccn- ···--- --- tury a new movement arises." he observes. Ira Hart, president of Kappa Alpha PS"i, sees the rise of the greeks as the outgrowth of a national trend toward ...conservatism. "People these days are moving back to basics. getting away from the '60s and · 10s feeling that.rou should do yo ur own thmg. : .. Fraternities mean togetherness. good umes. connec;tions. so mething good to put on you r resume, and a chance to be ~ a part of things," he offered. Others view the curroot growth as having more to do with natural momentum on the campus than with any national trend s. .

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Sample also announced his three '- major objectives for the coming year: • Securing a "firm and. irreversible commitment" to completing a minimal build-out of the two U B campuses by 1989. • Attaining a "much higher" level of externally-sponsored support for research and other academic programs.

Indeed it is only wothin the past few years that the general public have begun to realize what a great asset it i for ew York to have one publicly-supported campu that offers a full range of academic and professional programs. A a conse· quence, more , ew Yorken come from all over the State to tudy at UB at every-level - baccalaurellte, mllSier's,' profesional, doctoralllnd postdoctoral - than come to ""Y other campus in the Sy tern. , S , Y- Buffalo offers nearly 300 registered <Iegree program , of ,.b.ich 3 are at the doctoralle>·el Some 93 of our undergraduate and graduate pTOgram offered onl,o at the Buffalo Center v.uhin the S NY S) In fact there are more of these one-of-a-kind programs oflered at the Buffalo Center than at all of the other nate-op<rated campuses combined. or are these unoque programs concentrated in obscure or esoteric an:as.. For example, this os tht only campu in State Unh-ersity where a otudent CILD. study chemical or ci\·il tnganctrinJ~ or earn a professaonal degree in law, archite<:ture. or pharmacy, or otud)' for a doctoratr in management or hnguisucs or oral b1ology or geography. ) At the doctoral levclthe unique role of the Buf~nter within SU Y i especially pronounced. Buffalo offers more doctoral-le•-el progrants, and grants more doctoral-kvel degrees, than the other three uni>'CI'Sity centers combined. And while SU Y-Buffalo bas the largest undergraduate enrollment in State Unh"ersity, it bas the largest graduate and profewonal enrollment 111'011. Indeed, this campus enrolls a higher p<rcentage of iu otudenu at tbe graduate level, and grants a higher p<rcentage of iu degrees at the doctoral level, thllD any other campus in the System. Post-doctoral programs, while not registered degree programs on the formal sense, are becommg an increasing)} omportant pan of the total pectrum of American higher education.

It should be noted that only thret unive~ities in New York - Cornell, Columbia and S Y-Buffalo - stand among the top 20 onsututoon> nationally in terms of post-doctoral enrollments. h is cntouraging to note that our applicatiens and enrollments at all levels continue to be '-ery strong. Thi fall we exceeded our targeted enrollments for both undergraduate freshmen and beginning graduate tudenu . I was esp<eially pleased that our enrollment at the graduate level increased by nearly 200 students. T he Repon of the Independent Commission was also timely and imponan\ l.ll another respect, in that it emphasized the vital contribution that the SU Y S) tern can and must male to tht economic development of ew York State. The Commtssion empnatically stated that the economic intcre ts of thl~ State arc inextricably tied to SU; Y's graduate education and research mi sions. It challenged ·y and the tate to develop aggressively the immense potenual of the State University in these t\lro domaons, esp<eially at the major doctoral centers. From the perspective of SUNY-Buffalo, regional economic re\iltali1:ation is both a challenge and an exceptional opportunity. UB is now sten throughout Western New Vorl as a leader and key player on the communi ty·widc team that is cooperating to enhance the economic viability of thi area of the State. In fact, in the minds of many political and business leaders, SUNY-Buffalo is thr essential catalyst for the economic rcvita1iz.ation of this region. Several major endeavors now under way iridicate the central role U B is beginning to play in economic developmenL The first high-technology incubator in the SUNY System was established on our campus 18 ~~nth.s ago. This incubator, wh1eh IS op<rated on cooperation wtth the Western New York Technology Development Center (TDC), has spawned 13 ne~ firms in _the past yea~ alone, and is now the most successful mcubator m the State 1n terms of the development of new companies. Because of this remarkable achievement, the New York tate Urban challenge put forth by the lndep<ndent Commis ion. The Unwt'.rsuy at .Buffalo is also collaborating with other orgamzauons in the community to enhancx the general qualit) of hfe in thiS region. Special mention needs to be made of a songular event that was held on our campus thos past summer - the 1985 Em~ire State Games. The largest amateur athletic compeution m the United States. the Games provided a up<rb opportunity for coop<ration among all segment of the local community. The sharing of our magnificent athletic facilnies with Citizens fro around Lbe State, as well as the statewide reco~tion the niversity received, have contnbuted ubuanually to the grpwing feelings of pnde that people have in this camp~ Another acuvity m this same \.'ein is our continuing dose coop<rauon "'ith the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. I am especially pleased that the orchestra's brilhant new conductor. Semyon B}-chko . has accepted an appointment as adjunct Professor of \.tusic at SUNY-Buffalo. This year has also seen th~ ini tiation of a new mini~sc.rics of Buffalo Philharmonic concertS on our campus. A funher demonstration of our commitment to the loca.l community is our upport of the SEFA , United Way Campaign. During the three-year perood from 1981 to 1984, SU Y-Buffalo increased its contributions from SJ35,000 to S274,000 - an oncrease of more than I , and the largest three-year oncrease registered by any major employer on the Niagal'a Frontier. I am very pleased to announce today that SU Y-Buffalo is rapidly approaching its goal of contributing $320.000 toward the 1985 SEFA nited Way Camplllgn, "hoch will represent an'i ncreasc: of more than 135<!T; O\"Or four years. It should be noted on passing that the annual contribuuons from UB exceed by two~hundred perttnt tht combm~d annual contribution of the other three unt\'CJ"\ity ccnttrs. Finally, we have been "orking closely with the Buffalo Public hools durong the past year to explore the possobolity ot establ~hing one or t\\.o new magnet high schools on our south campus. It no" app<ars likely that two such schools, operated b}' the Buffalo Board of Education. will op<n in P~rker Hall in the fall of 1986. Both school will be oriented toward prepar1ng tudents to enter colleges and universities. and both ,.;u draw upon our own faculty for the development of curricu1um and enrichment of inStruction. One of these new schools, tentatively named in honor of Leonardo da Vinci, will place heavy emphasis on integrative 1 instruction in the Lraditional liberal arts and the developmel'\1 of critical 'lhinking. The other school will serve the needs of the city for an honors high school sp<eializing in the science . It is anticipated that this second school will be develop<d in close coop<ration with the faculty of Buffalo State College. I CllD also report progress in the development of the athletics program here at UB. The SUNY Board of Trustees adopted a new policy last year calling for each campus to appoint an athletics board of control in compliance with the rules and regulations of the ational Collegiate Athletic "The passage of the 1985-86 budget was a clear sign of the State's growing recognition of the importance .of public higher education." • "It appears likely that two magnet high schools to be operated by the Buffalo Board of Education will open in Parker Hall in the fall of 1986." �Oc:lobef 31 ' 1M$ VCIMM 17, No. 10 "We must ensure that the last brick will be laid and the last piece of sod will be put in place by the end of 1989 for both North and South Campus b~jilding projects." from the faculty, nafT. and our alumni association. AJ iu first ordC1" of business the Board is formulating a five-year plan for the development a.nd strengthening of our intercollegiate athletics program. Of great interest to all of us usociated with the University is the eKtraordinary succcs.s we have had in attracting new leadership of the highest caliber to lr.ey positio.os. In recent months we have announced the appointmt'ntl. of lhn::e new deans and a new dim:tor of libraries. Each of these academic leaders was tdentified through an aggress.-e national search, and eaeh was the candidate of first ehol<lC. I am delighted to olficially welcome Dr. Thomas F.

M . Barbara Von Wahlde. our new Director or University Libraries. Will be JOining us in January. Our accomplishment in the 19844!5 academic year ha'"' carried u to new heights in our quesffor excc:Ucncc. We arc clearly a university on the: mo..vc. However. to continue: this forward momentum ""' must now look to the future, and to the three objectives I mentioned at the ouuet of this add res . ne major objective in 19 6 is to work actively toward securing a firm commi raut from the Stale for completing. by t end of this decade. a minimal build-out of our north anti south campuses. The acadtmic damage that 0 "This year we anticipate that the total volume of research and sponsored programs will ex<;eed $60 million, but even at that level we are well below comparable campuses around the coun~ has been done by delaying the completion of our two campuses is incalculable. Moreover. it seems iron1c that the SU , Y institution with the largest enrollment and the most comprehensive mission has languished unfinj hed for nearly a quarter of a century. while so many other campuses serving ~o many fewer students have been completed. ow is tbt: time for all of us - students. faculty. administrators, alumni . Council members, Trustees, L..cgislators, and the Governor to pull together and get the job done. A significant step toward realizing this objective was taken bv the . U Y Board of TruSlees in October of 1984. The B·oard at that time adopted a resolution reserving SIJI.6 million of first-sequence funding from within the existing S Y construction cap for the completion of SUNYBuffalo. This amount will not be sufficient to complete the construction of the north and south campuses in acco'rdancc with the 1965 plan. or in accordance with the reduced 1971 plan. or even in accordance with the sull further reducc;d 1975 plan. H owever. this amount is sufficient to complete a mndified, minimal. no-frills build-out of both campu~ in accordance with the following academic prioritirs: I) provide adeqoate facilities on the south campus for all of the health sciences e><cept pharmacy: 2) provide adequate facilities on the nonh campus for all other academic programs of the University. including the rine ans. chemistry, geology. the mathematical sciertccs. architecture. and social work; 3) build an addition to the existing :swdent activities building to conven it into a student union; and 4) provide adequate sitework and ilti1ities to ensure the basic workability of both the north and south campuses. A minimal build-out of SUNY-Buffalo will at long last provide the people of New York with a comprehensive university center that is physically work4bk (which the present arrangement at SUNY-Buffalo clearly is not). More important, tl!is minimal bwld-out can ~ implementod oo within the $131.6 million allocatod by the Trus._ from t~ eJUsting construction eap, and at the Iowen possible COli to t~UCO of ew York State. The critical element is~ ensure that a!lihe Timds-roftliiSbiliJCJ.-ourare rCieaociil during the.JJI86.4!7 fiscal year. iO that the lui brick will he laid and the last piett of .00 will be put 10 pl- by the end of 1989.

After extensive promote excellence in our undergraduate program is to di6CUssion with faculty leaderll, deans, and ihe vice create a University College. This action, which will have presidents, 1 decided it would be best to move all of the great binorical sigpificance, derives from the 1:1:pon two academic aspects of research administration under the Y""" ago by a faculty task force charged to examine our an Provost, and to move all other functions of the Offtee of and 6Cicnces undergraduate programs. 1 am perllonally very Research under a new Olftce of Sponsored Programs. excited by this concept, and believe it 1:1:prtStnts a gre;t I am vety pleased that Dr. Rennie has agreed to serve in opportunity for us to build on our stren8tJ!! as a the ncwly· augmented position of Vice Provost for Research comprehensive univerllity that already boasts exceptional and Graduate Studieo.

Now in the final stages of ~ala anaty;is. he has uncovered some interesting insights. Primarily. Niagara. Erie. Orleans. Gene~ see. Wyoming, Allegany.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The statement , written b_y a committee formed by acting depanment chairman John Dings and consisting of Barbara Bono, George Hochficld, laire Kahane. and Roben S. ewman, all faculty in English. maintains that the memorandum rep~nts a change in Uni>ersity policy regarding the granting of sabbatical lea>es. by making past ~tformance a criterion for awarding sabbatical . ..In doing so, the meaning of sabbatical leave· is changed from an opportunity to a reward/' the statement contends.

Y.easel word!~.~ and mcaning.les language," those problems do not apply to s ·s Faculty Staff Handbook. publi hed in August, 1985. according to Dr. Dennis P. Malone. former Faculty Senate chairman who was instrum~ntal m compiling the publication. An article appearing in the Oct. 2 issue of The Chronic/• of Higher Education contends that colleges and universities are running into rough waters in couns of law throughout the United States because faculty handbooks that include information on policies. rules, and procedures are being ruled legal docu- . ments or conlracu. In reality, the article continues. these handbooks were intended only to be a convenient way ~or the institution to provide employees wtth a source of information. "When you publish a faculty handbook like that, then the things in it do have the force of law, .. Malone said. " It is exactly the reason the administration here "as reluctant to pnnt one of these things." According to Th~ Chro11id~. " In today'!~. increasmgly litigiou& !I.OCiety. academics \\ ho have viewed the hand· book 3) ·an innocuoJ,~s informational directory· are finding out sometimes the hard wa~ - that under certain circumslances It is a legal contract and the courts will enforce it as such.'" US's publication howe\•er. was· compiled speciftcally to avoid such a connotation. Th< handbook was designed to fill in and serve onlY. as a supplement to cracks in the United University Professions (UUP) contract and SU Y's Policies of the Board of Trusrees. Malone said, by including "many things that neither of those two publications addresses ... For example, the precise process of evaluation for promotion and tenure is outlined. The handbook also includes information such as faculty bylaws. the Faculty Senate charter, grading po~cies. com menu on academic policies, al\d information on the President's Review Board and how it functions. "We wanted th is lo be one maJor source to \\hlch the faculty ~oulc:J go if they ~anted tO know \\hat the polic1e~ are." Malone aid. In order to accomplish thiS goal. the Faculty Senate appointed a comminee composed of Malone. Dr. Ed,.ard Jenkins. associate professor or learning and instruction~ and Dr. Roben Jennings. professor of educational organization, admini tration. and policy. The handbook took three years to corppile. "I've had one facult)· member call to say this is the single most important publication to come out oft he University in a decade," Malone said. "Some members . or the faculty have called me since this thing carne out to say they didn' know, for example, that they were supposed to have a yearly review with their chairman." P ulli11g together the handbook, which is required by the SU Y Board of Trustees. was not a simple project. ot only had U B never published a formal faculty staff handbook before. but imilar publicauon~ that the commlltet: "auld be able to use as a tantng point "ere rare. UNY at tony Brook·s faculty handbook was the closest to v..hat UB needed, Malone said. but there """ .. no oot publication we could findlhat we thought was an adequate model. • Even after three years of work. UB' Faculty/ Staff Handbook hould not be considered an unalter~ble bibl< of nivorsity policy. Malone said. In fact. it was designed to be updated as necessary. "We llnew there would be things that would lead people to say 'hey, why don' you include .. . . 'And obviou ly, one of the thing> that will change from tim< to time is the grading policy." Malone added the section on grades now found io the handbook will become obsolete next fall when the plus-minus grade system goes into effect. .. It is important that everyone realize that these things have to be updated. You don,just print the>e thing> and say, -..-ell that's done for a decade.'

That \If as one U!lllestion made by L. Pearce Williams during the recent c.ampus conference on 1each1ng quality called "Th<: Making .of a Teacher ... William .the John Stambaugh Professor of tht: History of Sc1ence at Cornell Unh·ers.ity and a master teacher. was. one of two guest speakers at the conference. He received the Clark Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1971. The other spe.aker was Wilben J . McKeachie, author of TeacMng Tips: A Guidebook for 1be Beginning Collegt Teacher. Williams made the su8$eslion about acting becauseh~ gTCW up m a theatrical family. This background provided a natural way to get students~ attention. "'There was no reality in my home, .. he quipped . "Timing, anecdotes, humor, and th.e one-liner were all pan of my tife. When I staned teaching, it all came rather naturaUv. "I would suggest that part of teacher trajnlng should be actor training - get together with the theatre arts depanment. .. Williams religiously collects anecdotes. He admitted that his stuff is corny. .. but you11 never lose money underesti~ mating students• tastes ... When he uses anecdotes, i1's to ge·t Students• anen1ion and make a point, not just to get laughs. Another recommendation was that large introductory courses should never. or only rarely, be entrusted to the younger members of a department. " But that's usually exactly what happens," he noted. The older. more experienced members who still retain enthusiasm should handle these courses. As the instructor learns more and more. -he should be able tD addre5s larger audiences and better handle the vast amount of material involved, WiUiams oxplained. He said be doesn' believe older teachers are necessarilv the victims of burnout. He has beeO teaching since 1952. . "And if I'm anv more enthusiastic, I'll have a heart atiack..'"' he commented. "Thiny years ago I knew exactly 50 minutes of the subject, hut now I can really teach il ... A W illiams outlined several requirements for good teaching.

"Students are looking desperately for · values they can cling to," he noteil. "Teachers ought to be beller people and quietly set standards students can emulate with some pride ... This means contact outside the classroom. too. he noted. How does one know if he's teaching well? Williams SU!lllested using evaluarions from other faculty as well as those from tudents.

In addition to learnipg problemsolving techniques. stu~ must have a base of knowledge. A great problemsolving chemist would not be able to do well in polities if he didn't have the knowledge bas<., he said. The teacher's task is to help students make sense out of infonnation. To do that, Mc.Keachie said. teachers must not only present material, but mu t also learn what structure is already m the students" heads. "They're not tabula rasa." he pointed out. For that reason, he objected to Williams' suggesllon that older people teach mtroductory courses.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Med students back blood drive RED CROSS "w BLOOD DIM ASISUI'S By BRUCE KERSHNER e figured that we, as medical students, would demonstrate to tbe com· munity that there is no rea· son to be afraid to donate blood." Eddie Phillips, second year medical student aod president of UB's chapter of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), said. "There's been a serious drop in blood supplies because people think they might get AIDS by donating. That's just false." So he and UB's chapter of the AMSA organized to contribute to the Red Cross' latest campus blood drive between Oct.. 7 and 9 in Harriman and Cement halls. Panicipation rates were at an unusual40 ~nt. After students with colds. high OJ OM--pres ure, and other problems were screened out, 211 units orblood WCfC contributed campus-wide, with 70 of those units fr9m medical students. Because of the explosion of publicity aod fear about AID , the public has unfonunately reduced its contribution of the blood that area hospitals so desperately depend upon. This situation especially worsened with the disclosure that AIDS-contaminated donated blood had transmitted the virus to unsuspecting people. While it i1 true that poorly screened blood donors with AIDS virus can transmit the lethal disease. the reverse is not true. DONORS of blood "Our young people oeed IDOfe than ""ords aod tdeas." be eoatinued.

This, according to Red Cross coo~dinator Paul Kocbmanski, is because all needles arc sterile and discarded after each usc. That is the only instrument that comes into contact with the donor. "A donation is totally safe and no diseases (of any kind} can he passed on,- he emphasizes. Even the fear of a hospitali1.ed pe,-.on receiving AIDS-contaminated blood from donated suprlies will almost certainly be a thing o "the past. Testing for the AIDS antibody in donated blood is expec1ed to eliminate the po ibility of contracting AIDS from that source. Donated blood is one of the most valuable personal contributions an individual can make. UB med students emphasize. It co ts ~mhing except one's Lime, and the donation suppons the lives of thousands who are injured in accidents and afflicted with disease.

While this mcrease IS less than the recent SU Y average, it is higher than the figUre projected for the contract agreement for the next three years, which, of course, has yet to be settled (see separate story). In fact. reponed AAUP, the sharp increase m overall salary levels, from 4. 7 per cent a year ago to 6.6 per cent this year, is auributable almost entirely to UUP calls meetings on stalled contract oth tbe Buffalo Center Chapter of United Ulliv.:rsity ProfessioM (UUP) and UB's Health Sciences Chapter have 5Cheduled open meetings to dilcu.s the cur- B rent impasse in negotiations between that union lll\d the State's Office of Employee Relations. UUP is the bargaining unit that represents faculty and most professional taff on campu. and throughout the SUNY Sf5tem. The Buffalo Center Chapter - which basically reprcsenu individuals working in the academic core - has scheduled a meeting for 4 p.m., October 30, !n the Kiva, Baldy Hall. The Health Sctences Chapter will meet at 4 p.m .• October 22, in G-26 Farber. Both Paul Diesing, Ph.D., and Roy Slaunwhite, Ph.D .. presidents oftbe Buffalo Center Chapter and the Health Sciences Chapter, respectively, hav.: deseribed the State's refusal to discuss certain contract lssues as uncharacteristic. particularly at this late date. Employees represented by the union have been wor:Jting without a contract since July I. Both chapter presidents agreed that negotiators u.ual~y co~e to some son of meeting of the 1111nds m or around September, after they have had time enough to feel eal:h other out, so to speak. and to set a haodle on what issues are particularly ignificaot to each side. According to Di..ing, the State has indicated that the following items are non-negotiable. • Tenure hould be reviewed every five yean, though the State failed to be specific about how the review process would be conducted. • o required promotional procedure "The impasse is uncharacteristic, the union says, particularly at this late date. . II for professional staff, though three years ago under terms of the last contrad the State agreed to appropriate $100,000 for a committee to study this issue. • Required reporting of outside employment. rCreation of a new health plan that would involve at least some fmancial •uppon f~om employees. 0 thtr I.SSUes under conte-ntion include the State's refusal to give employment protection to part-time employees; the right to institute parking fees; elimination of tuition assistance~ a reduced time frame for notice of non-rentwal,lll\d introduction of centralized biUing in clinical practice plans. Salary is also an issue. The State, according to Diesing and Slaunwhite, bas offered U UP the lowest increase in salary of any bargaining unit, including CSEA, which represenu classified staff. In the past, negotiated salary increases forthose represented by UU P have often come Very near to what is given by the state to CSEA. CSEA's current three-year contract, which staned April I, call$ for salary incrcmenu of S per cent, S.S per cent and 6 per cent ov.:r the three years. The fim year's increment, howev.:r, did not stan April I, so it actually c<!JIIli out to lt5s than S per cent, noted Barbara Christy, president of the local chapter of CSEA. Asked why the State is rcfu.ing to discuss cenain items, Diesing speculated that it might be a question of playing hardball because there is a new bead of OER. appointed since the last contract, who wanu to make his presence felt; that the State may believ.: it's "give-back time" for benefits already 'negotiated, or possibly tbat the State wanu to cut SUNY expenses. 0 on.ethelell, AAUP reporu, the gain in the past year was more than mOll observen would have anticipated 12 months ago. Two factoro are at play. low innauon and stron& economic srowth. ln a comparison of faculty lalaries nationwide with fede61 and private ICCtor lalaries for comparable levels of education and tJtpertise, AAUP found the news not quite so good.

Levine, an internationally-known foren ic dentist. assisted in the identification of Mengele's remains earlier thi year at the reque I of the U.S. Department of Justicx. He spoke at the Greater iacara Frontier Dental Meeting. Oct. 12, cosponsored by the ·u B School of Dental Medicine aod that school's alumni. Levine, who bas pro>ided his expertise in famous cases such as the authentication of X-rays taken during the late President J ohn Kenned y's autopsy. has testifted as an expert witness 10 lesser lcnown ones as well. While in Buffalo, be was a WltDe$S in the case of the man accu.ed of being the so-<:alled West Side rapist. The famous "dental detectiVe" told tho.e attending his presentation at the Hyatt Hotel that be was initially skeptical that the remains e><humed in Brazil and which were purported to he Mengele's were, in fact, those of the notorious W physician. Mengel<, after •"· had ~n sought by a.zi hunters sinee the end of World War II.

" But in the end after all the evidence had been examined - and there was a considerable amount of it including Mengele's medical and dental records from 1938-it was unanimous among those on the investigative team that the rem.Uns were ~ ~ Levine reported. Pr.Using the work done by the Brazil- ians who headed much of the elTon, Levine emphasiz.ed that 11 was a joint investigali\-'e: project requiring the expertise of a great many people . .. The conclusiOn wa based on anthropological fmdings, dental and med1cal htstones. and handwriting. 10 addnion to 1nforma11on prov1ded by the Stammers and othcrs who had kno" n MenJ<le after World War II m South menca. • the "'ew York dental expert noted A >fort he dentalev•dence, Le11ne a•d that ..dental restorations known to have been performed on Mengele pnorto 1938 "ere evident in those teeth which "'"'~stilltntact: a noticeable gap bet ween hi front teeth as evidenced in wartime photos and tho.e taken later in South America also matched the e1~dence e><bumed." Mengele's knowa height in 1938 medical records and the fact that one leg was shorter than the other also matched the exhumed remams of the man alleged to be the Nazi physician. But perhaps even more remarkable, the reconstructed skull of the man purported to be Mengele - perfectl y matched ... when early and more recent photos of the Nazi were superimposed over iL -The investigation, conducted by Brazilian, West German and U. . scicnW.u, was done in a painstaking manner. and in such a way that no evidence was ignored 10 arriving at our conclusion, ... Levine said emphatically. And in all the evidence studied throughout the investigation, he said, there is nothing to suppon rumors that the U.S. governmcnt ever bad Men· gele in custody, ever knew definitely of his whereabo uts at a l!iven tim<. or ever p~ovided him with assiStance to keep him htdden.

Born in Vilna, Lithuania, Schneider received hi.-musical training at the Leipzig Conservatory and the Ecole • ormale de Mu ique in Paris. In 1930, he Joined the Budapest String Quartet as its cellist. The ensemble had been founded aroulld 1917 in Budapest by four member> oftbe Budape t Opera Orchestra: Emil Hauser, lmre Poganyi, I tvan lpolyi and Harry Son.

Wrote Joseph Wechsberg in a 1959 profile for Tht Ntw Yorlctr: The Budapest "could easily play to a full house every night of the year. and as it i , its performances are almost always sold out long in ad\ a nee. Chamber-music audiences are ordinarily small, a thousand being considered a largt crowd, but in 1956 the Budapest performed for thirty-fi,e hundred people. at the Tcatro Colon. in Buenos Aires."

Tbe Budapest is never satisfied merely to perform music witb 1 weU-potisbed urface; the four men do not just play music. they make it, which is a different thing altogether.

Marl ro FesuuJ, MIJ'Iboro, \ermont 05344 0 Squire Haskin, UB organist, found dead at his home T qui.re Haskin, organist and choirmaster at First Presbyterian Church for SO years before his recent tragi.c death, also made rich contributions to the musical life of the Univen;ity. A member of the UB music faculty from 1953 until his retirement in 1980. Haskin headed the organ department here for approximately 2S years. S Haskin, 75, was found dead in his Allentown home October 10. An autopsy revealed that the organist, due to retire from his First Presbyterian post on December 31, died of trauma apparently caused by severe blows to tbe head. according to a Buffalo Homicide Bureau ~ublisbed in the Buffalo N~s. Investigaton; have theorized that Haskin may have surprised a burglar. At Reporur deadline on Tuesday, no arrest had been made in the case. Educated in the public schools in his hometown of Theresa, New York, Haskin went on to the Eastman School of Music where be was the first student to pursue a dual performance major. Following graduation in 1931 , he served brieOy as organist for the First Presbyterian Ch11rch in Watertown. and then moved to Rochester where he was appointed organist of First Church of Christ Scientist. He was also staff pianist for radio station WHAM. In November, 1935, when Clara Foss Wallace, organist at Buffalo's First Presbyterian Church, drowned in the iagara River, Haskin was chosen as her successor. Here be remained until his death, except for time spent in the U.S. Army as a fmt lieutenant in an antiaircraft battery during World War II. In an article proftling the organist published just four days befqre the tragedy, Buffalo News mustc critic Herman Trotter wrote: "Nothing. however, is quite so Squl reHftkln closely identified with Squire Haskin as the four-manual, 76-rank oebren organ in Fin;t Presbyterian Church. He was ... part father and part mid-wife to the onstrument, bel pin!! the famous Kenmoreborn organist/ builder Robert Noehren design and install it in 1969 and being its constant comp~ · on and nurse ever since."

He told the ~"• be planned to "become a church nomad. • visttmg other churches to ... what their orgarusu, ministers, and choir dorectors were up to. He also planned a return tnp to France, along with poss1ble journeys to the Soviet Union and the People' Republtc of China. He tntended, too, to continue his hiking and regular workouts at the Buffalo Athletic Oub. In addition to his acttvotoes II First Presbyterian and at the University, Haskin was the oiTtcial pianist fort be BulJalo Philharmonic Orchestra for 20 years. He was chairman of tbe Buffalo Chamber Music Society music commlltee at the ume of his death. And he was one of six founding members oftbe Buffalo Society ofQgJOphilists, said to be the city's oldest associauon of wine lovers. Later this fall, Ftrst Presbyterian Church will issue a record and cassette of Haskin playing some of his Tavorites works by Walther, Bach, Couperin, DuruOe, and Demessieux - on his beloved Noehren organ. A public memorial service will be held Monday (October 21) at 4:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, located at One Symphony Circle. Memorials may be made to the Music Ministry Fund of the First Presbyterian Church. Haskin is survived by nieces, nephews, and a sister-in-law. 0 �October 17, 1MS Volume 17, No. II Catter; Saum11ys, S:OO p.m.: Sunda~ 9:1S and lOJO Calendar From page 9 N OTICES• AIIBIICAN PHYS/Ol OGl' SOCIETY •EEnNGS • N.asara Falls Convention Ce:tttc.r.

By DAVID C. WEBB S pcaki114to a crowd of about 300 people to the Kiva of Baldy Hall at U 8 on October II. Umberto Eco. professor or semiotics at the U~ty of Bologna, focused on a topic whidl bas interested him for many yean- the interpretation of the meaning or a symbol or alqory. Eco baa developed an international reputatl0t1 for his illligbuul contributions to tbc lludy of signs, the theoretical dilciplille wllicb claims to cover aU celtural pbenomeaa that MsignifyM sometbin&, includina art, an:bitecture, and literature. Semiotica is ..,.,aficaJly related to liDJUisttcs, but it obviously touches upon practically allldlolarly endeavor. Eco trxed tbc history of the meaning of the S)'lllbol from the Middle A~ to the Renaiuanct through various tnterpretation by authors living in those times. All a student of philosophy at the Umversity of Turin. Eco studied medieval literature and in 19S6 completed b' thei on MTbe Aeslbetie Problem in St. Thomas Aquinas. "In 1972, be published a lengthy analysis or the commentary or Beatus or Uebana, an~ ·gbth-century satnt, on the Book of Re tion and the eleventh-century illuminati ns that illustrated tbal commentary. HIS 30 years or study on medieval literature and pbil<>sophy led to the writins or the bestselling book of fiCtion, 1M N- of tltt Rou. His trip to New York was to visit SL Bonaventure University to discuss William of Occam. a medieval Franc:isc:&n empiricilt and contemporary of Roger Bacon. Both William and Bacon were mentioned ia Eco ._ bestseller, because the ftctiooal Franciscan detcctive William of Bulterville was a friend to both. Thus, Eco brings ' an impressive amount of medieval scholarship t.o contribute to a brief discussion of one semiotic problem. He defined a symbol as a Mprecise convention." Once a symbol has been defined , it cannot as ume other meanings in the same context. be said, citing a passage from Goethe that says a symbol is a Mtransfer or ideas"tlttough an image. T be Greeks defined a symbol as half of a token. The symbol was explained "by reealling the absent half with which it could be reconnected, • Eco said. Under this deftnition, a symbol was something imprecioe in wbieh, unless completed, ~no one can •t>tU out what one bas understood," be Slld. Eco said that the symbol was something that was unknowable like ~the divine source of all being. • wlto was deftned with many ~live attributes the One with no weight, no location. 110 5ou.l. no mind. no time. and so on. Tbusl the symbol was somtthill( wbicb appears to be something and nothtng at the same time, or truth and falsehood 11 the same time, he said. However, the medieval sdlolastic pbiiosol'ber, Thomas Aquinas argued that MittS true that the One is absolutely transoendent and infinitely far from us," but He is not contrary to us, Eco said. Gnd is totally unimaginable for the medieval tl:eologian, but He is symbiotic with us, be said. Thus, the meaning of a symbol for Aquinas was not a network of inconceivable attributes but a link in the •great chain or being." Eco said the medieval quest for a code extended to tbe creation or great encyclopedias of bestiaries. The medieval pe<r pie "assigned a symbolic meanins to every piece of natural phennmenL" .Depending on the textual interpretation, a lion is a figure of Christ ora figure of the deviL A jewel, a rose, or a daisy can usume manydifftrelll meanings, be said. In the Rcnaiuance, ~ meaning of the word 'symbol' unclerto<:nt a profound change,- Eco said. The-medieval people were strons in their belief of the transcendence of God, the One wltois not only nltnown but unknowable. Th.e medieval thinker made a sharp distinction between extremes. However, the hermeneutic approach to the Bible introduced in the Renaissance was "based on similitude," be said. Thus, symbols an: defined in terms of similarity,and in theScripturesonelhingis sec:n as similar to another. .. A. giVt.1J text ,s symbols an: anchored in the context," Eco said. T be modern notion of symbols, he said, is very diffiCUlt to define. an: as many senses of symbols as there are authors,· be indicated. According to Eco, the "open" or modern thinker s-ays, "'There is no definite truth ill the world, " while the Renais· sance thinker says, "There is no definable meanins in the text with which to elab<r ~There rate about the world. • Eco ._ idea about the "opea" worlt modem writers are aummed up ill Opua apn-14, bi> fii'Sl book on a c:ootemporary subject. published in 1962.

The open work that r=ives the greatest" attention in his book is James Joyce's Finnqani Wakt, in which the "rules. or languase are deliberately broken to convey anarchy. Eco also introduces the ideas of semiotics. including many symbolic representations, in The Nttm~ of tlr~ Rox. After solving the murder mystery partly by accident, a sad Brother William, s~­ ing to bis "Watson." the Benedtctine monk Adso, says, "I have never doubte,d the truth or signs.

Though the last whaling .asc:l embarked from Proviooetown in 1916, wbales are still hunted and slaughtered, primarily by Japan, the Soviet Union and orway in spate of international protests and movements to bait all whalin&. ess than a century ago, America was still a wbaliq nation. The animals were seen as jll5t another God-gi>en resource meant to he exploited by humans for their oil. the maJOr fuel for · home ligbtins in the 19th century, and their baleen, the ftltrous plates atta<:hed to the upper jaws of certain whales used for ftltering food from the sea. Baleen was known as ..,.halebone~ and used for the critical purpose of &ivin~ fashionable 19th century women their ~hourglass fi~­ ures~ by providing rigidity to the11 corsets. Today, Japan argues that whale meat is an important food source; orway and other countries sell the meat to Japan. The oviets hunt sperm whales pnmarily for a high grade lubricant processed from their oil. Cosmetics are also manufactured with whale oils. America is now a wbalewatching nation~ ha,·ing terminated all whaling operations in 1972 with the exception of special permits issued to Eskimos who hunt bowhead whales in Alaskan waten and to !i hermen fort he incidental taking of marine mammals during fishing operations. Enterprises that carry land Iubben out on the ocean for the express purpose of only seeing these mystenou creatures nourish on both coasts. The ownen of the Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown claim to have launched the !irst whalewatch on the east coast in April, 1975. The fleet's boats are made available to researchers. who are on board for every wbalewatch to gather information about the animals4 These researchers name individual whales according to their characteristics. Though the researchers from the Cetacean R..earcb Program log data on all species of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) fouod in Massachuset ts Bay, the primaryfocusoftheirresearch is the humpback whale (M•gapura novoeanglio~). wb1ch is known for its eerie ~song.~ Only !i>e per cent- 15,000 humpbacks - of their original number are left in a world where early peoples worshipped whales as supernatural beings, guardians oft be sea's unutterable mysteries. That sense of loss was pervasive as tbe Dolphin VI headed out to open sea on a bright, chill morning. The passengers were bundled up in parkas and caps, many foni!ied against seasickness with dramamine. The sleek white boat has a heated cabin where passengers can buy food and bot coffee and sit if the weather is too cold. The number of P" cngers is limited to 145 pertriptoallm .veryonea spot at the railings oftbe upper or lower decks. As the boat left the harbor and began its ~mile voyage into open waters, Phillip J . Oapbam, assistant director of the ~an R..earcb Program, gave passenge)os.a brie!ins. , .. Provincetown is one of the few places where we can see up to four different species of whales within miles ofland, ~he explained. "This is because of the wide abundance of food. The ftn whale is the most common. The humpback whale is the one we are most studying; we can identify individual whales. We are using ~e identi!ication ofindividual~to study a population."' The mark.ings on the underside of the whales' tails are as unique to each whale as fingerprints are to humans. Clapham uid. Over the past 10 years researchers u. identified 300 individual humpbacks. L T be right whale, the rarest of all mammals on Earth because it has been most relentlessly hunted, i• some.times seen in these waters. Sigbtin& one of these would he "the ight or. lifetime..

"Another problem," be added , "as that humans tend to lool for comparisons \trilh humans. rc very conceited to as ume that the Wa} humans manifest tbeir intelligence i the only way. Cetaceans are clearly bagb up in order of intelligence in mammals, but """don' k.now if whales are as sopbinicated as dolphins. But no one has ever demonstrated that any cetaceans have a clearly deli ned language. Cetaceans communicate on a highqr level of complexity than, say, dogslo-but we don' know what their communication level is... One of the passen-gers on this whalewatch was Seldon Spencer, a faculty member of SU Y- ew Paltt who was spending his sabbatical collecting data on whales. In his classes on endangered species, be said, "my whole approach is that the andividual species are amponant. but they are basically barometers to what we are doing to the environment. The basic issue is that must protect the enviroPment and establish preserves and habitats so that these species can exist." As the boat continued on. the anxious wbalewatchers hung over the railmgs, eyes scanning the waters. Finally e cry went up: a spout on the horizon! Peop&e ran to one side of the boat; photograr.hers aimed their cameras. We waited unul another spout was seen; we ere closer and could distinguish on the surface of the water the black glossy backs of two Iinback whales (Balamoptrraphysalus). so named because the small !ins on the humps of their backs are the only pan of Ihem human generally get to see. As the boat got t\>en closer to the -whales, one of the crew announced over the loudspeaker that the scitnlists aboard estimated the length of one of them to he about 65 feet, one of the largest whales ever sighted in that area. Fin whales average about 50 feet in length. Now our excitement rose. We had seen- although at a distance-whales! We felt a sense of accomplishment. But there was more to come. Suddenly someone shouted and ev"eryone raced to "c. one sade of tbe boat A humpback •hale known u Reginald bad noiselessly &lJCied Jusl below the urface of tbe water and almOSI skimmed tbe uodenide of tbe Dolphin VI.

The genesi of the coldheanednes that led to tbe wholesale slaughter of the whale - fear that evolved into hatred and greed- became less inexplicable. But the tide turned for the whales. The} have the da advantage now, and their tragic vulnerabnity should make us protective. Ours was a lucky voyage. We sighted nine to 13 andividual humpbacks who came close to our boat. Indeed, before the trip was half over we were ex peru at predicting the appearance at the urface of a humpback.

The phasing technique solves the structures by comparing two or more diffraction pattcros obtained by varying the number and position of atoms not properly belonging to the structure, but mtentionally added to produce small changes in the diffraction intensities. During and before the 19SOs, solving the moleculor tructure or chemicals with as few as 10 atoms was a difficult challenge. Most organic moleculc:s, because or their complex.ity, were not solvable.

Together. audience and panel explored a range of questions and theories about today's political comedy. P .. Political humor in Ame.rica is just about dead ," Carroll noted. · Lewis agreed and added that the type or political material used in modem comedy seems to have the effect of helping the audience know and love their leaders. "The popular comedians today don' auack our leaders, they help us to get to know them. It makes people say 'they're o damn cute'.... It's sickening,• Lewis said. One member ofthe audience SU!l$CSled that television ha5 played a role on the apparent demise of political humor. Cat. roll suggested the two are not necessarily related. ~Monty Python, worlcs that arc literally created in the editing room, are some or the best humor we have today,. he asserted. Comedy clubs, not television, are a major force in the shape or comedy tnday, Lewi> pointed out. He suggested that the recent increase in the number of comedy clubs provides an opportunity · for greater numbers or budding comedians to exercise their craft. "Maybe it doe. give more schl~ps work but there is also a greater chance for good comedians to find work and gain popularity," Lewis observed. Another audience member stated Lbat .the lack of substantive political comedy today is one aspect or an apparent cultur- . al lethargy and a general lack of risk-taking. r Schmiu noted that the ¢mic impulse originates from the famiyYexperience and that this may be tbc reason most modern comedy focuses on tbe family situation and not politics. "The Cosby Show• was offered 85 an example. Lewis concurred. "Like the mow 'Father Knows Best.' comedy today seems to provide a giant breast for America to suck on."'

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Sample termed the restructuring of the University's research program .. an experiment." 0 HRP warned against 'commercialism' By CHRIS VtOAl he ptvolal role of U D's Sctiool of Health Related Profess1ons in the development of a national social policy of hum.a n services was praised last week by SUNY't vice charocellor for research. graduate studies, and professional programs. Dr. Alden N. Haffner also warned agaimt incru.sing commercialism in health care in a speech at the School's 20th anniversary dliUlCr held October 4 at the Marriott Hotel. Haffner is concerned about two national trends tbat affect the health related professions. The first involves a national5tudy that recommended keeping the health related professions ..static'" until the nation·s excess supply of doctors is dealt with. ... In the two centuries of our national life, the United States has nevrr had a manpower surplus in medicine, and we are not yet fully cognizant of the enormous impact and consequences that that surplus will make," be argued. "Each of the health related professions T has unique and important contributions to make to the well-being of people who are served by them. Their education and training affords them nanding and competence in the public eye. And the recognition of their standing by the public is an important ~asure of their accepta.nc:e. That their cost effective utility to the healthcaresy5tem has been fully justified needs qo elaboration. The (stud y's) recommendation . . . should not be allowed to restrain the development of l. the health related di.SCipli.,.,.." Haffner is also womed about the effects of "corporate and business concerru (on) the &overllat>Ce of health care debvery. "The free use of advcrttSin&by the professions u well as "44'tfocant entrepreneurship tn an mcreas•nalY market phlce envuonment have aU combined to tmpact upon our traditional concepts of professtonalism," he "Saad. Professional behaVIOr and perfor· mance of those mvolved m human ser>'ICCS are tncompauble With the commcrcl&l environment. MlCOrchn& to Haffner. "I contend that we have t-..o s<U of radically inconsi tent forces when the intruston of the Iauer 1mposes tU &oals upon the former . The markeung of health care by corporate and business interests has the potentuil to introduce a market place atmosphere, to substitute busi.,.,.s goals for professional concerns and, finally , to substitute for profess1onal ethtcs those of the 10orld of co11lllltQ% and busiOC55." The risks of compromi in' health care with too strong a bustneSs onentatton are compounded by the chance that public image of the profes tons might suffer as well. "Health professions." he said, "(could) come to be perceived by the public in a business mold, and ultimately, they may not be accorded the same dignity,~ and understandmg as they have bad 10 the past," Haffner said . " In effect, I fear that the decl~ of professionalism may result tn a dechne .o f ~pect and standing accorded to a dtsapltne as a profession . .. T'heK honored and endurincly honorable pnnaples of prol'essionai1S111 are cntocal to the well«ma of the public and the professions alit.e. • T urntn& to HRP's . ana .. enary , Haffner told alumru, faculty and staff attenclin the dt..- tbal.

College student retention was the topic of a conferentt held October 2 in tbe Center for Tomorrow. Ernest T. Pucarella,Ph D.,oftheUnivemtyoflllinoiChicago was the keynote spe.a!<er at tbe program sponsored by Student lnforTnation Services. Student attrition, accordilll! to Pascarella, is a "luge sale problem" for colleges and universities across country; furtherTnore, it i a problttn that is only compounded by the brinkilll! pool of college-age students. "The average institution loses about40 per cent of eacb cl to attrition," he .aid . "These attrition rates have stayed fairly constant for tbout 100 yean .... Tbe only exception was after World War II. when the Gls returned to schoo " For example. at a "selective pri ate univemty,"be noted, bet,.een 90 and 9S per cent of students return after completrng their lim year, with 8010 &S per cent ultimately receiving a baccalaureate degree from that institution. At a "selective public university, "the retention rate is 80-85 per cent after the first year, with 70-75 per cent r=iving a four-year degree. The oumboors continue to fall , with a "typical state .uni>-ersity" retaining 60-70 per cent of each freshman class and awudingdegrees to~ per cent, and a late college retaining 40-50 per cent and graduating 30-40 per oent. Of sludtnts who attend a two-year junior or community college. only 10 to IS percent will persist, continuing at another institution and receivin~ a baoealaureate degree. M W Tbe rtiSt, based on a lludy conducted at tbe University o! Missouri-Kansas City, provided oupplementuy instruction for students who wanted help with "hi&b risk" courses, such as engineering or chemistry, where expectations are high and students who feel they cannot keep uparelikelytodrop out. Asimilargroup of 5ludents who did not r=ive supplementuy instruction also were followed as a control group. At the end of the fall~emester, the retention rate for nudents who participated in the supplementary instruction program wu 77.4 per cent, as opposed to 67.3 per cent for those in the control group. At the end of the spring semester, tbe retention rate wu 73.2 percent for tbe supplementuy instruction group, and 60 per oent for tbecontrol group. Those participating in the supplementary instruction group also had signifacantly higher grades. The study wu not without shortcomings, Pascarella noted. lt was conducted on a volunteer basis, leadilll! to the gatberinJ of a group of students who were mouvated to stay in school The supplementary instruction program also wu of the greatest benefit to students with tbe least academic preparation. Despite these drawbacks, be said tbe intervention program did show significant results in retairling students who otberwiJe mighl drop out. bat this means is that, coupled with declining numboors of I g.. to 22year-oldJ, attrition ultimately ~uld be the demise of a number of smaller tMilutions in this country. Turning the tide of these students who drop out, however, is a task com.parable to the puling of the Red Sea, boocause, Pascarella admitted, "70 per cent of what causes attrition is unknown." The problems of student retention are as complex as ~bing a conclusion on the definition of attrition. "It's very ·aifficult to come ~P wi!)> a definition .... Someone on-ce sa.d, 1t lSn' total attrition until a person dies," Pascarella noted. Dropping out of a particular institution may not mean leaving bigber education altogether. A student may leave college to attend another institution. 10 join the armed forces,. 10 work be sec'ond model involved a "campus and save enough money to conunue purcluster program" implemented at suing an education., or for a multitude of California- State University-Northridge. other reasons.

Two semesters after entering the university, 1S per oent of the cluster group remained enrolled, compared to 68 per cent of the. nonduster stUdents. However, Pascarella noted, "u soon as tbey took tbe cluster group away, the dropout rate became tbe same."' Orielltttion as an e!Tect on persistence/ withdrawal was the focus of a study conducted at Syracuse University, wberet"'o and three-day intensive orientation programs revolvmg around social and intellectual activities were organized. "'rientation had no dwct significant effect on persistence," Pascarella observed. Tbe study did show, however, that people who are likely to attend orientation acti.Wes are more likely to ~rsist in their coDege careers - a signifx:ant indirect effect, be noted. "Not all variables that are going to have an important indket:t effect are going to have an important direcreffect," be concluded. The Hnal model involved a livinglearning residence hall at Syracuse. A wide variety of students were grouped together with faculty, and classes, advisors, and discussion sessions were offeud as part of the program. Participation wu voluntary, and the living-leuning resi- dence ball students were closcl matched with a control group. Pascarella said t be study showed tbe living-leunilll! students bad a ~sipifi­ antly 'realer persistence level" than tbe non-livtng-leuning students. As a resuJ be concluded, "you CtUI structure resid'ence balls in ways that influence student persistence." Regardless of the results of the models, Pascarella said, college and uniousity officials ,should rememboor that even a seemingly suceessful experiment won' work all the time in all places_ "lt is extremely diff'acult to repltcate lindinp aaoss mstitutions, • he said_ " Persistence /wit hdrawal fa<:tors vary by institution.,. Any institution th.a t hopes to s~ fully 1imi:t attrition, according to PascareUa, needs to •organize for retentioo, • by forming a tu~rce to look at the problem. · "You have to oollectively use all tbe expertise and resources on campus.... lt's a student affairs problem tmd an academic problem," he said. Above all else, Pascarella said , remember that all withdrawal is not an institutional failure. D 7 new centers funded U B Presidenl Steven B. Sample this week announced fo.r· mation of seven Organized Research Centers, designed to provide sow.port for faculty-initiated, multi-disciplinary pro..&!JIIns. . Each Organized Research Center will receive from $60,000 to $100,000 annually over a three-year period to allow it to become estabhshed as self-sufficient unitJ. Each is expected to bring in several times as much external funding as the University provides for core support. The seven centers were selected from among 18 proposals, based on the recommendations of Provost William R. Greiner and Vice President for Research Donald W. Rennie. · During July and August a select facuhy review team chaired by Vice President Rennie evaluated each proposal and submitted sealed ratings and comments on each. The ratings and the summary of comments were the primary basis for making the rrnal awards. "We are extraordinarily grateful to all who participated in this 11rocess," said Greiner. "As a result of(thetr)dTorts, our capacity to generate external support for research and graduate study bu been _significantly advanced. In particular, we hope to be able to draw on the results of this effort to develop a strong case for State support for the concept of uveraged Reseucb Groups. • That funding concept, included in tbe •SeeCenton, - 4 �Octllller 10. , voe.-11,No.?

Healey will coordinate information on the major national competitions. and a guide that will list both UB's in-house awards and the national awards wiU be published. "There has been an absolute lack of coordination or information on this cam~ fellowship opportunities for undergrao~es." she said. Tbe chancellor has made it a special point to try to get a Rhodes Scholar from SUNY, she noted. Tbere has never been one in the history of the system. Yet Michigan State alone - not that State's university system, just Michigan State had three last year, she pointed out. SUNY and UB students have the talent, Healey asserted. What they lack is tbe information that these awards are available. or the major national competitions, Healey will coordinate the informaF tion. Students can get applications. rules. and regulations from her office. For each scholarship. a faculty member will be as igned as an advisor to help students through the apP.Iic.ation process. The advisors will idenufy qualified siudents at an early stage and encourage them to apply, Healey said. They will also keep track of bow many from UB apply. "How many students applied for National Science Foundation grants last _ year?" she asked rhetorically. "I hav• no tdea. A student may have happened to see( a brochure and applied. It's so ad hoc." Some of the major grants and their academic liaisons lOr this academic year are: • Fulbright grants - Howard Wolf of English. These I!J1IniS are for study for one year in a foretgn country. Tbe student must have completed his bachelor's before he begins study, but seniors should apply now. • Luce Scholarships Laurence Schneider of History.

One Fo T e By BRUCE S. KERSHNER J heworld'ssmallest thermometer and the world 's smallest heater may soon be entered in the Guinness World Book of Records. The minuscule devices were invented during the last several months in the laboratory of UB biophysicist Frederick Sachs, Pb. D., to measure temperature changes in single cells as part of 1 biomedical research project. The ultra·microthermometcr and ultra-microheater, as Dr. Sachs refen to tbe instruments, are part of hand-held devices that ta~r into a tip that is invisible to the unaided eye. "The sensing tip and the heating element are both approximately one micron in diamcter the associate professor of biophysical sciences relates. For comparison, a single strand of hair is over 50 microns thick (there are approximately 25.000 microns to an inch). Dr. Sachs bas recently submitted a . ~application for the devices. In addition, his article describing tbem will be published this faU in the journal, M.,hods in Enzymology. "The thermometer is a double barrelled glass micropipette with a bole between the two barrels near the tip. It is filled with an ionic solution. The pipette is attached to an amplifier that measures the electrical resistance of the .solution," Dr. Sachs explains. When the pipette is insenod in or touched to a single cell {or any other microscopic object) tbe attached instrument can rtleasure the temperature because the resistance of the pipette solution varies with temperature. The uhra-micro thermometer is capable of detecting temperature differences of T 9" one ten-millionth of 1 degree C, making it one of the most sensitive thermometers ever invented . Dr. Sachs beli<:ves it may also be the fastest thermometer in that tl can measure changes in te.mperature in as little as 100 microseconds. The diminutive heating element is also a tiny glass pipette. It is filled with a bismuth-tin alloy and coated on the outside with gold. Where tbe outside and inside metal layen join at the tip i the heating element. Heat is generated because the ultra-microheater is attached to an electrical current source. The gold layers that produce the heating element are only 100 angstroms. or 50 molecules of ~old thick. Heat can be produced and varied to within one-tenth of a ·degree (centigrade). Up until now, the smallest thermometers were a thermistor, a type of semiconductor used to measure the . heat of chemical reactions, and a thermocouple, composed of two dissimilar metals that generate a temperature dependent voltage. The two devtces are, respectively, 100 times aod 20 times larger than Dr. Sachs' ultra- microthermometer. Although smaUer heaters can be produced by using integrated circuit tccbnology, they are not, for aU practical purposes, useful as general purpose beating elements because -they cannot be easily manipulated or moved from one object of study to another. Dr. Sachs did not invent the minuscule devices to seek a world record. "I just needed a way to measure the temperature of the cells we were ex.perimenting with," he points out. .. No existing instrument was small enough to measure the temperature, so one had to be invented ... It wasn\ until the devices were perfected ecord that 11 occurred to him the~ were the smallest such inst.rumenu in ex1.5teocc Similarly, it never occurred to Dr. Sachs to submit the record to the Guinneu Book of World Record until a •hon while ago. "Yes, it"s a good idea to document the record for them. And. besides my son will really get a kick out of it,"~ adds. T he devices were developed for Dr. Sachs' mvestigauon into ion channels, which are special molecules on cell membranes. They are the smallest units of biol.ogical ~·ci~1bility becaust they transmtt electncallmpulscs. when stimu1~ by touch or .chemical • that are percetved as sensaJton by the brain. Dr. Sach• recenUy d iscovered the first mechanically..ensitive ion channel that may explain th~ fundamental mechanism for the senses of hearing, touch. and body awareness. Dr. Sachs personally invented the ultra-microthermomeler, and had assistance for the ultra-microheater from Research Assistant Professor Tony Auerbach and research technicians Rich McGarrigle and J im t il. His research is currenUy funded by a Nationallnstitutes of Health grant. Sachs is working with the Health-Related Instruments and Device Institute (HID!) and tbe Western ew Yorlc Technology Development Center, two UB-sp1wned high-tccb businesses. They !"" looking to develop manufacturers tn Western New York that wtU produce Sachs_' and othen' devi,ee>. fo~ specific applicauon•.

Co-editors are Ronald H. Stein, Ph.D., executive assistant to the president and Andrew W. Holt, Ph.D., assislant to the vice president for reoearch. The Journal for Higher Education Management, which premiered with the Suml!ler/ Falll985 is ue, is pubU.hed by the American Association of University Administrators. Two issues are planned each year. According to Stein, the journal will A serve as a forum forcurreot ... lSSues. prob-- lems, and challenges facing hi&her ed ~ca­ tion administrators." Refereed artacles will cover original scholarship and ~prac~ tical perspectives" on administration. Book revaews and notices of AAUA activities will also be included. The opening issue offers. compu!er software tips for htgher educataon ad_manistrators many of whom now rouunely use computers on the job. The journal .~- "<C"• H1J.) < l4•;.. '.'-'· • ~~>(..t. will review appropriate software on a regular basis, Stein adds. Also in the farsl iss~ , Ronald M. Brown, vice preoidenl for student affairs 11 the University of Texas at Austin, describes his university's successful recruitment of national merit scholars via a special ~honors colloquium" for prospeetive students, carefully chosen student adVisors, and faculty mentors. n soliciting articles, Stein ·and Holt Icommunity, "not only look to the higher education we also look to the private secto~." Stein notes, for instance, thatthe premaere journal issue also contains an article on coUeae and university marketing techniques by Fred Geo/Ung, president of a New Haml'sbire public relauons farm which specialtzes in higher education. Gebrung urges colleges and universities to plan their marketing campaigns carefully, focusing tightly on a clear, unambiguous message. Also included in the farst issue is an article on "The Marketing Revolution and the New World of University Advtin• istrators" by Georae Keller, senior '\oice resident of the Barton-Gillet Company, f. , • tJ ~·""""'\ ••·~of ~,. .. , r~ • ~ltfol a Baltimore planning. marketing, and communications firm. The author of a widely used book on higher education manaaement, Keller is a former proftS50r and dean at Columbia University. Stein adds th~t colleges and universities across the country now draw heavily on the patterns of successful U.S. corporations. "The thing that's exciting about this journal is the recognition of the importance of management skills for today's colleges and universities," be said. "If they're going,to not only survive, but also move towllfil excellence, it will take special management skills not unlike those oft he successful corporations. This is not to say that all the values of corporations are the same values or institutions of higher education. But it is to say that institutions of higher education can learn a lot from these corporations . ~ The journal is enhanced, Stein adds, by the presence of a distinguished editorial board. Members iBclude Ernest L. Boyer, president oft he Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching; John B. Ervin, vice president of the Danforth Foundation; Darline Cluk Hine, vice (~'-KOHl' !HI ........ ~f· A 4~H II -4• provO$! of Purdue University; Roben M. eil, president of the Universiry of Wisconsm sy tem; and Robert M.

Patricia Cross, chair of Administration, Planning and Social Policy 11 the Harvard yraduate School of Education; Barbara W. ewell, chancellor of the State University System of Florida; and William Toombs, director of Pennsylvania State University's Center for Study of Higher Education. In a refereed journal such as this. Stein explains, the board, in effect, "serves as the guarantor of quality." Underwriting the premiere iss~ is the ational Center for Higher Education Management Systems, whose president, Ben Lawrence, as also an editorial board member.

He lived with a Syracuse family while attending hi&b · school. Since the n he bu remained in the U.S., attendin& collqe and plannina hiJ future in A ~ With an understandinJoftbe advan tases and di.sadvantases ofhvin& lll either has natn.-ecou nuy o r here, Lambiet bas deVIsed a plan wblCb should enable him to enjoy tbe best aspecU of both. "I'd lilte to stay here and worlt, and then retu rn to Belgium when I'm 50 , to tea<:h English there- that 'I roy dream.• he said. He explained that this wtU enable him tOenJO} advantqesoftbe . . where"if you'R ..illing to work, you can make money; in Europe if you don\ have family or other conncctJon , you can\ ." Then, after having spent the majority of his working d ays here, be would return to socialistic Bel&~um where "they take care of you ... old people are not ~II treated here (in the U.. )." Lambtet is a senior and expecU to com{'lete degrees in English and communtcation by the end of the spring semester. He traDSferred to U B after a )-ear at t. Bonaventure University. " I got a scholanhit> to play soccer for St. Bo naventure, but 11 was too small and in the middle of nowhere," be explained. "I decided to transfer to UB because I could afford it. • He enjoys attendinaan American university; ll's quite different from the educational system in his native counlly: "The ed ucational system in Belgium iJ too hard: to d o w-eD you must study all the LJme ... : Here there is room for S{'Orts, tnternshtps, and other extriCUmcular activities which iJ geat- that's all pan of education, too.· A "He's an intern on the campus and a stringer for a Belgian paper. " L ambiet takes advanl&Je of this time for outside activities tn 1 variety of ways. Amonatbem, be bu been a !ticker &nil punter for the Bulls football team for t.,l> years. Football, a pon rarely played lJI Europe, i1 very new to Lambiet, b be bas enJoyed playing the game ever since be was introduced to it in Syra<:ose. "I wanted to play 1oocer, but they didn' have 1 team. They told me to kick for the football team,· be explained. He found the spon attracti\-e in several wayy. lnhighschool,anyone inafootball uniform was special and envted, plus, beiq on the team was a great way to attract the girls. Even though at UB "the uniforms don\ seem to be any big deal. and the girls don\ seem to care, • he still enjoys the game. "I tike the spon because it gives you the chance to act as pan of a team and as an individual at the same time," Lambiet said. Although be'$ bad an "on-and-<>ff" career as a member of the Bulls squad, Lambiet finds being pan of the group rewarding. He has also involved himself in a variety of internships to gain experience with the American media. • All the radio and TV stations in Belgium are government-<>wned, and they i<:ally don' know bow to run them wen." be noted. He has completed an internship at WKBW-TV. Channel7,and bas contributed articles to several campuo publications. This semester be is an intern for the Univeroity ews Bureau and a contributing writer for lA M~w~. a Belgian newspaper. "I don' compete with AP or UPI or anytbJRg, but I send them stories about things that I fJRd amazing like Sylvester Stallone and bow much money the movie Rambo made. stories about President Reagan , what concerts or movies are new and bot, what happened on o,·nasty or Dallas .... mostlyentenainment-related things because they are all pan of trends that will reach Europe eventually,· Lambiet said . Related to biJ general interest in spons, Lambiet also acts as an agent for American basketball players who wish to join a professional team in Europe. "College basketball players who grldlllle and are not selected by the pros have the option of going to Europe to play. and I try to find a team in Belgium for them," be explained. A• for the immediate future, Lambiet is considering gad uate school but is unsure of the degce be would lilte to pursue or what institution be will attend. He is leaninJ toward 1 master's degree program in JOUrnalism and law school, where be would lilte to specialize in spnns and entenainment law. Allhou&b not sure of the program or location, be irsure be would like to play football wbile attending graduate school. When he return to Belgium for vllCItion, be is able to explore even more of his interests. He hosts the only bi-w.:ekly American-style radio progam in the country. "Two days a ...,.k for two houro I spin American records and imitate the American OJ style," Lambiet said. He impons his own material, exposing Belgium to the latest American roclt and roll bits.· "The audience loves it - to them I really sound American. They <!J>n \ underotand half of what I say;- be remarked. "It's really funny to get bi&b school kids calling in to make a request using their high school English." This' summer he was also a spons newscaster intern which enabled him to attend a number of major sponing events. One bighli&bt from this was a visit from Jermaine Jackson. "There was a 24-hour car race that he (Jackson) had a car racing in. He came for the weekend and I was with him almost all the time because I was the only one around who ltnew English, • Lambie! recaU . "I got to do several tntervie"" with him.· Most Belgians seem to have the same questions for Lambiet. They want to ltnow ho much money be's malting, what ktnd of jobs are available and if Amencans still drive around "tn those crazy btg cars." Lambiet ,maintains that many aspects of America are ~II reapected in Europe; it iJ only "'hen America is linked to .,.,.pons and aggression that the European' enchantment with the U.S. ends. "Europe doesn\ wan; to deal with American impenalism, but there is respect for its education system and media," Lambiet noted. " Despite a 20 per cent unemployment rate I could Jltl a JOb easily because my American schoohna is respected." · is family is supponive of has decision to stay in the U.S., althouJb his mother does not sba,re the enthusiasm of his father on the subject of establishiqg roots here. "My dad tbinlts it's coot that I'm here. He visited and said he'd stay. tOO, if be was younser.... My mother likes Belgium better because the family ties are ti&bt there,. he said. The only potential obsta<:les to Lambiet's desire to remain in the U.S. are the Customs and lmmigrauon Depanments. He bas been surprised by the paperwork and hassles involved each ume be enters the COUntrY. ~This is supposed to be a land for immigrants, but every time I return from Belgium I have problems coming into ew Yorlt, ~ be maintaiiU. He is required to present several doc- H ~=~~·~:!~~~~~~'i!!ur:: allow him to enter. Lambiet added that this process has made bim late for several connecting Oi&bts to Buffalo. "Ellis Island still exists, now it's JUSt at JFK, • he has observed. Lambiet added that the process of entering the countrY oever t~ as long in Canada or Belgium.

Always active, be intends to continue many projecu that he has already begun. Strauss will work pan-time on one of his favorite professional activities - helping to build an active alumni assoctation for the engineerinc school. "T here was the spirit and enthusiasm of being part of a new elTon, a spirit of 'can-<lo' amonc the faculty," Strauss said, commentinc on the engineering school in the late 40s. "But the university was not wealthy. Administrators wer:: reluctant to commit resources for engineering at the expense of other programs," be said. The enpneering school was supponed by local tndustry which benefited from both the school's graduateS and its research. Buffalo was stronc in manufacturing and basic steel industries at the time. " High technology," as it iJ now called, made few inroads here in the 40s, he noted. Early graduates were mostly from Western New York, Strauss said. "Many wanted to remain here. Today, if we keep 20 per cent in Western New York, that would be high. Lt may be as low as 10 per cent." ExpanSJon of opponunities on engi. neering elsewhere has led_to ~exodus of talent from the area, be tndtcated. Accordin& to Strauss, engineering eduo:,ation has not changed fundamentally) But the fundamental courses have . expanded, or added the UJC of comp "Computers have allowed us to solve problenu we were not allowed to solve, • Strauss said. The UB engineering school iJ amons the top lO in the country out of about 250, be said. Getti~ to this position was not easy. "Up unul about 1962, we dido\ have the resources of other schools. In 2.S years, we've moved from unrated to the top 30." trauss iJ one of many (acuity who have seen the chante at UB fro111.a much •mailer private university to the exganded state univershy center of today. Farfromwilhingtoaoback totbc "&ood old days," Strauss looks forward to the "good old days" that are yet to come. "'The University iJ entering its best days now. I've seen it grow from umallliberal arlS school to a great univtrsity nationally and internationally. To be a part of that is very exciting. It iJ also excitins to be around to watch as it continues to grow and expand." S Tbc cbanf to a state university was good for U , Strauss said. "We gained more than we lost. I don\ believe you can build an instant university. To build the campus in the time allowed was a tough job," be noted. The engineering professor said be is optimistic that the University will continue to expand. With the establishment of the engineering school, some staff were coneerned that too much emphasis would be put on technical education at ibc e"P.Cnse of the liberal ans. However, he satd, the engi- neering school manaced to weather the criticism and conunues to offer balanced educational progams that include the liberal ana. Very popular amonc students, Strauss is a founder of the enpneerins school'5 alumni association and has been its faculty advisor for many years. He iJ active in professional cnpneering societies, such as the Engineering Society of Buffalo, for which be continues to teach refresher courses. He also was an inslruc· tor in the Naval Reserve, retiring with the rank of commander. As associate dean of educational services, he was heavily involved with advisement. He bclped many when they were ready to gi"" up on their careers. Strauss somet.i.mes was a friend when needed, or a "father confessor" to students. • "I've tried my best to treat each student as an individual or treat individual problems or find unique ways of handling problems," Strauss said. He also assisted transfers coming from community colleges and other progams. " We have a pretty cood reputation" in that area, Strauss indicated. "'ne oft be greatest satisfactions of my job has been a gradual~ expressing the fact that 'you were tbctt when I was down,' or 'you pve me the push and incentive to continue'," be recalled. orne of his students have become part oftop management of large corpora loons such as General Electric, Yolk wagen of America, or Linde-Union Carbide. Strauss bas also been advisor to many evening students, who tend to be working engineers who want to keep up to date with changing technology. S orne of the successful programs that Strauss has helped to develop are the Master of Engineering program and the "three-two" dual degree offering. The Master of Engineenng is for those "'ho wish to earn a terminal master's to prepare for a job as an engineer. Tbc decree emphasizes the practice of enaineerin& as opposed to research. The "three-two" progam enables students to cam two degrees - one bachelor's degree in a basic: science and one in enJineenn' - by attending two colleJt:eL St"uss said this progarn enables Ullto "d~op stroDS ties with other state schools such as F"donia, Brockpon. Geoeteo, Conland, and Buffalo State Cofle&e." Dean of the Faculty of Encineerins i.nd Applied Sciences George C . Lee is obviously impreued with Straua' work. " He iJ very fair and firm," Lee said. "Some people may find him inflexible at times, but he has always tried to stick to policy while trying to be fair to everyone. It will be difficult to find a substtlute for him.Lee commented that be strongly supponed Strauss· appointment to associate dean in 1978, sbonly after his own appotnlmentas dean. trauss was named assistant dean in the enpneering school in 1966 and a few montlu later served as actinJ dean for a year. He earned a master's '" mechanical engineerin~ at UB in 1954 while be was teaching. Hts promotion to full professor came in 1971. Strauss was involved in research into hi gh-stren&th carbon mitenals that enabled the development of light and resilient graphite fibers used in tennis ra<:qucts and airplanes, amon& other things. HiJ research provided the experimental and theoretical basil for the manufacture of t.bcse materials.

The revisions notwithstanding, it would be incorrect to assume that Graves wrote laboriously, says B•nboi(. "This is simply how the Muse works for ,·;m."

Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). This is in addiLion to his work as ediLor and translaLOr of Latin, Greek., French, and Spanish sources. ln a 1966 interview in the N- York TinuoJ Magazin~. Graves said he really didn't I< now how many prose works he had written or pubU>hed. "I am a compulsive writer." he told the New York Tin~s. "I can work with children cryin.gjo the bouse, with people Lalking. with masons hammering. dogs barking. The only thing Lhat disturbs me is music. .1 mentally recite my stuff aloud, even my prose, as I write. Music puts me off complelely." In Good-bye to All Thar, his 1929 autobiographical classic of World War l, Graves acknowledged his penchant for heavy revision, recalling an unpleasant encounlh wiLh the headmaster at Charterhouse, "thal most Philistine schooL • "My last memory is the Headmaster's paning shot: 'Well, good-bye, Graves, and remember that your best friend is the waste-paper basl<et.' This has proved good advice, though not perhaps in the sense be intended : few writers seem to send their work Lhrough as many drafLS as l do." Yean later, be added: ~what else can I say, except that my best friend iutilltbe waste-paper basket?" Even with bis vast prose output, Gr:aves considers himse1fprimarilya poet. In 1965 be described his poetic pbiiOIopby Lhis way: "Whenever a poem reads memorably, this is almost always because a living Muse bas directed its need and, however individual Lbe poet's cbo.ioe of words and rhythms, impressed her secret image on them .... My main theme was always the practical impossibility, transcended only by a belief in miracle, of absolute love continuing between man and woman." In general, critics say, Graves' poetry is marked by tension between emolional intensity and a pull toward clarity and order. Remarks Seymour-Smith: "Graves' lalest poems provide, in Lheir explorations oft he possibilities of a world purged of whal he ealls 'the blond ~ports of desire, • and of the agonies of alienation from such a world, a fitting sequclLo those of his earlier yean.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The executive committee should be chaired by the provost, with the vice provost for undergraduate education as viee chairman. (lbe vice provost for graduate education will be an ex-officio member, explained Bunn. The acronym ACAS, which stands for the Administrative Council for Arts and Sciences, will be dropped because it Planning of college is underway is confusing, he added. ACAS is com· poled of the tbree Arts and Scicnceo deans..) Tbe vice chairman woukl p!Uide over most meetings, but the provost shoukl bold !be~~ chairoftbat body for both symbolic and pr~ reason&. The prlll:tical reason is that the three deaD$, who will be held responsible for the success of the college, report to the provost, and tbrouah him must be liOCOuntable to Jbe president and tbe Univenity for the proper discharge of their 1pecial responsibilities regarding undergraduate educa- tion.. a The college's academic program and policy struCI.we must involve faculry primarily, but not exclusively, from the Arts and Science&. The p.....,nt Under· lflduate Couocil is one model for a faculty goVCTJWH:e and policy body for the colle!!•· but otltcn may be suggested which will prove more appropriate. ONhing is clu(: the college must have strong fac:ulty sovemance structure, a faculty dedicated to developing and eli vee'.ng exciting undergradu· ate programs. As a first order of business for tbe vioe provost and the three deans, Greiner has charged them to suggest possible fac:ulry governance structures for tbe college. Enough preliminary worl. onplanshas been done that Greiner said be thought be ought to make a state~ on where he stands. "This isn' a final statement, • the provOSt said. "I'm trying to tell people where I stand now. h5 a debatable and open issue~ " s the result of a 1983 report from the A Planning Task Group on the Arts and Sciences, Greiner is to decide in March whether to recommeod to ihe president that he {s>rm a Univcnity-wide College of Arts and Scienoes. Greiner noted that this undergraduate college is not a way to ge1 a College of Arts and Sciences by the back door. "The faculty of this University said they don' want to take that approaclt."

The fund is earmarked to be used particularly, b11t without limitation. to support special teaching and research pro· Jects in William J. Mogavero's field of property law.

Thus. manv of the busing programs of the past.two decades which have been aimed at ensuring a racial balance in the schools are, in the views of the contributors. misguided and ultimately unsuccessful. Most of the authors stress an academically rigorous curriculum that· places emphasis on the traditional sciences, hterature. mathematics, and history. Vocat.ional education and other "frills~ are considered inappropriate for tbe most part. As tbe curriculum bas been compromised, so, too, have buic educational standards so that a degree from a secondary school no longer counts for much. Much is made of the decline in SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) sco~ of college-bound freshmen over the past decade. The scores have declined, it is argued, because ihe quality of instruction has declined and the integrity of the curriculum in primary and secondary edu~ation bas been compromised. Even at the level of the colleges and universities, the willingness of academic institutions to provide remedial courses debases higher education. While the~ are many common themes in these two books, the~ are some important differences.

"Thi library" is the Charles Abboll HaU, home of the Health Sciences Library, which opened Tuesday following more than two years of reoovat_ions and c struction. Formerly known astbe Lockw od Memorial Library, tbe fourstory edifice located in the center of the UB Main Street Campus originally was built in a classic Georgian style, and bas been complemented and enl rged by an adjoining modern wing. The new Health Scien= Library is a paradoxical blend of the old and new. The new wing, designed by Philip R. Scaffidi of Scaffidi and Moore, architects, is a .sharp contrast to the original. which was designed by Edward B. Green, who also built the Albright-Knox An Gallery, and completed in 1935; -despite the 50-year architectural gap, Abbou Hall is not only beautiful, but its new layout makes the library more functional and easier to use, according to Huang. ..

The Media Resource Center ofTen students in the health related professions some of the most current library resource technology available, and the Roben L. Brown History of Medicine Collection, is "one of tbe major rare book medical science coUections in the country" containing volumes dating baclt as far as 1568. Both are located in the basement. The focal point of tbe library and its $5.5 million building project bas been the renovation of the main reading room, designed as a replica of a room built for tbe Earls of Salisbury in the early 17th centu,Y. The ~by-75-foot room's magnificent Englis~ oak paneling is rumored to have been Cf'.!"ed by Kittinger, a company known for its fine wood furniture. The chandeliers that bang from the 20-foot ceilings once graced the Albright mansion, and the buge fireplace features a carved mantel that duplicates one found in Canonbury ToWer m 1468. Although contemporary fumiturt: will continue to be used temporarily, the room eventually will be furnished with matching oak chairs and tables. hile the main reading room is architecturally outstanding, the Media Resource Center represents an equaUy remarkable advance in study opportunities for students at UB.

Another resource "ailable is a tape player that can be speeded up to allow a student to listen to a lecture recording in a shoner lenath of time. Providing informational resources for UB students and f.acuhy is only one facet of lbe Health Sciences Library'• respon•ibilities. According to Huans. community service is equally important. "This library is different because we serve u a biomedical communica.tions center for (bealth related) professionals throughout Western New York, • Huang said. "This is the best University(community service there is, actually.• Among the community-oriented programs offered through the Health Sciences Library is its Information Dissemination Serv~ which provides "information to more than 100 hospitals and institutions in Western New York." Huang said. Other programs include the Interlibrary Loan Service, which receives more than 20,000 requests each year; MEDLINE, which recorded nearly7,000 requests for information searches last year; the Media Resource Center, which was used by nearly 20,000 health care professionals last year; the Regional Medical Library Program,servit~~ nearly half of New York State; and the Local Medical Library Resource Sharing Network. ..-J' "A major rare book medical science collection, the Robert L.

Bloch, 59, is expected to brins stability to a fedctal agency that has seen fout directors come and so in four years. He also brinp a new perspective as the fJTSI du-ector to come directly from industry. After his araduation from UB, which be attended at nisht school while he held a full-time job at Allied O!emical and Dye Compa11y, Bloch joined IBM, where be stiyed until his NSF appointment was approved by Congress after .P residential recommendati.o n. He rose through the ranb at IBM. He was engineerins manascr of its STRETCH supercomputer system; bead of devdopment oftbe Solid Logic T~hnoloay Proaram, which provided microcl~nic t~hnoloay for tbe ystem/ 360 computer (last February, he received a National Medal ofT~noloay for his contributions); vice president of the Data Systems Division and general manager of the East Fishkill facility, which is responsible for the development and manufacture of semiconductor components. In 1981, Bloch became vice president for t~hnical personnd development in White Plains, NY, and served as a member of IBM's Education Relations Board, responsible for the company's contributioru to academic institutioru. He held these positions at the time of his NSF appointment. He also chaired the Semiconductor Research Cooperative, an indusuy group that funds advanced rcsellcl! in universities. A native of Salzbutg, Germany, he became a U.S. citizen in 1953. Asked in an interview during a rccent visit to Buffalo if be found the transition from industry technocrat to federal bureaucrat formidable, Bloch replied, '"'The transition was not as dramatic as people think. The problems arc similar, people arc similar; and 24 hours a day is still 24 hours a day." Bloch appears to take a philosophical approach to the monumental task of determininj! funding priorities for his agency, pnorities that reflect both real · need and po!i~ realities. Earlier this a Erich Bloch He's charting new directions at NSF ye&f, he testified in ConaressionaJ hear- inp to defend a requested S67 million increase in the SF bud~. an incrc~ bedoesnlexpect toaeeappro'-ed because of a budld "freett mentality" be observes in Conaress.

We're i.lldependent and I "'ant to keep it that way. Ho~'i'fcr, we arc part oftbe administration and its poliCies apply to us; we anpport them. Our dealinp with Conaress ~ more objecu..,." Chief among Bloch's oe"' priorities is a his push for enginecting, hiabligbted by the new, "Utre.mly important" Engineering Research Ce~ers pro,ram , funded at $10 million in 19 5, With an additional $1 S million expected . Tbe five uni..,rsities desianated this year represent a ~new tool" in research, Bloch says. a multidisciplinary approach that bas not been utilized fully in the past. Ultimately, the program calls for 25 such centers funded at $100 million. UB is, of course, in the competition with its own proposal for inclusion in the pro~ Other priority areas Cited by Bloch arc biot~noloay and "super computer centers." "We should fut ctnpbasis on the emerging areas o science," he said ... but not neaJect established areas. We can' single out t~ or fout areas to concentrate our efforts in. The world is ootthat narrow a place. "We have a lot of worl< to do in tbe education area," he added. An emphasis on pre..:ollel!" education programs "will help the SOCial structure of the country." "We have to lay the foundations for the next few years, .. be said, ...we must ltve.raae dollars, develop biorc cooperative efforts. We have to looj( at and prioritize proarams in the right .tay. We're in for a new balancing job. We must consolidate programs." _ S ome researchcn have expressed the concern that with · Bloch's obvious support of engineerina and universityindustry COOJ."'ration, the social and behavioral sc1ences will lose funding. Bloch. denies that the "softer" sciences will be downplayed. "In the 1986 budget, that area got probably one of the biggest increases in funding," besaid. "NSFbasaroletoplay in the social and behavioral sciences, but that is so broad a field, wecanl do everything. We must be selective, and look at those problems in research areas that link to other parts of Foundation projects, particularly in quanti!Itive aspccu." Bloch is awan: that many uoiva.itics throughout the country, especially those that - like U B - arc in areas undergoin& economic transition, ~ playinJ critically vital roles in aiding econotruc rcdevelopmenL He is a strooa advocate of university-indusuy cooperation, but sees NSF as indir=l¥ involved in actions for economic revitalization. • The Foundation is playing a prime role in layina the foundation for ~ nomic development in stimidatina and fund ina raearch that can lead to it," Bloch remarked. "Our role is to sponsor basic resellcl! and educate people in basic research so i ividuals can take advantap of iu results." Of umversity-iodustry cooperation, he said, ..That's s;omething that's always soing on, but not to the extent that it should. We wantto do everything we can to make it happen. We're in isting in many of our programs on an industry involvement ... ?~e should place on e~phasis emergmg areas: for example, biotechnology and super computer centers.' Does, be attach any sianificance to his own appointment, as a representative of industry, to the NSF dircctorshipL} He hedacd a bit. "It's a stage in this time period," be remarked. "It's important to have someone in NSF who understands that (university-indusuy) participation, so that NSF sets the beneftt of people who come from different ~as." With the general belt-tightening and increasing numbers of researchers scrambling after available dollara, Bloch advised, "It's important (for universities) to have pr~ms where they can leverage those ( S~) funds, combine them with those from indusuy and other funding agencies. Universities have to do that on their own, though we can help. • With fed~ govem!DIOnl fundin& of research at a 46-4 7 per cent ~I eutrcotly, com_P"!cd with 52-53 per cent five yeara ago, Industry bas a greater role to play in supponing uni•'efSity research, Bloch noted.

"We're essentially providtn& a diffttmt atmosphere for research and equipment badly lackina in the U.S. today. We're bnnging enaiocerins into tbe modem era and linki!IJ industry with tbe education process. This is pointins a way to a different approach to mgineering and engineerina education." Bloch doesnl feel that SF should work directly with industry, however. The Foundation worts through efforts such as the Small Business Innovation Research prosram and the Presidential Scholar program to support individual pro~ and n:searcbers that have linb to Industry, but euentially, "indusuy should find its own way," he advises. Bloch does welcome tbe IJCW universityindustry cooperation he observes in this country, noung that not too long ago there was a mistrusting, almost adversarial, relationship between universities and indusuy in gen~. In tbe late 1960's, many universities, under political pressure from students and faculty members, established policies under which they would undertake no classified or secret resean:h projects. Industries, especially those under contract to the Department of Defense, found themselves the larJ!et.s of protests by college students and were reluctant to es!Iblish ties with institutions where faculty and student senates debated the moral worth of projects in which the companies were investing money.

By the early 1980s, hov.-ever, the "system" had lost momentum. Funds were drymg up, and some of the units that had lasted for more than a decade were dying from both lack of funds and waning interest. In 1983, a Colleges Task Force mittee, chaired by Harold Cohen, professor of d 1 studies, recommended that each survivor find a new administrative home, Gold explained. The colleges agreed 11 was time for a change. Cohen was supported by Robert Rossberg, then vice president for academic affairs. Provo t William Greiner continued the reorganiu.tion proces .

The new affiliations are: Black Mountain College II , Faculty of Arts and Letters; Clifford Furnas College, Division of Student Affairs; College H, Facully o( Social Sciences; College of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of atural Sciences and · Mathematics; Cora P.

Racbel Carson College. with its enVIronmental focus, was on faculty. Rachel Carson Colle&e employs several people from tbe State Depanmeot of Environmental Conservation, i.t>cluding the regional director. ready. Numbers show the interest io the colleges' coui"SCS. "Drawin« for non-majors must be one of the most popular courses on eamr.us, • said Jeanne- oel Mahoney, dim:tor of B IC Mountain IJ. The colle&e offers three sections, each with 25 5tudents. but 180 often apply, he said. It' not unusuatto get • 300 additional requests, she noted. The number of eourses varies from eolle&e to collese. Colle&e H offers 20 eourseo and the Colleae of Ml1bematieal Sciences, only one. Clifford Furnas ColleJC also is offering only one course this semester, said H. William Coles Ill, administrator of tbat unit. But there are 100 5tudents in that • Ascent of Man • cl . Enrollment i bigb beeause it's a @CtlCfal edueation eourae, he noted. Usually. Oifford Fumas College has about 50 students per.semcster. Gold pointed out that college eourses, by design, have low to moderate enrollment, which brings facujty and 5tudents closer. Tk colleges often employ faculty wbo are professionals in West_em ew York. "We'Ve always bad a strong commitment from the eommunity fac:ulty," explained Qryden of College H. "lbey're dedicated. They eome baclc year after year. They teach well constructed, well evaluated courses for very modest eompensation. They're here because they love thcir fields." . These faculty also create a linlc bei ween the Uoivenity and outside eommunity. he onted. For iMta.nce. College H employs professionals in the health and human services. Blaclc Mountain II has a variety of artists including those working in cerami<:s, jewelry, weaving. and drawing. as well as an editor. music critic, vocalist. pianist, and guitarist T be residential program does not duplicate wbl1 tbe Housing Office does, but enriches student life along the theme of each eolleJC, Gold noted. One of the purposes is to create a "sense of being• in Ellicott, said John Staley, direc:tor of Cora P. Maloney. The ~idential programs offer special facilities, academic activities, ~ social activities. For instance, Cora P. Maloney College. geared to inner city citize111 and minorities, has purchased some personal computen to expand the limited time studenu ~ave on such machines. The College of Mathem¥ical Sciences bas not only a eomputer lab, but an electronics lab as well. CoUcge H supplies weight liftina equipment foT fitness. Many of tbe colleges offer activities similar to Cora P. MaTooey undergraduate •ympoojums. They all offer soa.al programs such as dinnen, trips, spons, movies, and parties. Academic and •ocial activiti<:s frequently overlap. as in Rachel Canon Colle&e's Sunday suppers with speakers. The residential paces are usuo.lly near the colleges' offiCeS and the college serves as a focal point for iu tudents. For instance, in Blaclc Mountain Colle(!!' II, the •tudcnts share an interest in the ans. Tberr rooms surround the olfu:es and the college art gallery wblcb have become a meeting aiea. T be colleges provide an informal k.oud of contact with faculty members that is different from the relationship in the clas room. Gold said. Dryden of Colle&e H sees that as an imponant but dwindling asset. Faculty are retreating from student life. he maintains. They don't want to be assigned to teach in Ellicott classrooms far from tbe Spine, and the Social Scienocs offiCeS will soon be moving to their new bwlding along the central corridor. "The faculty of the University have a responsibility to m11ntain a presence in tbe dorms,· Dryden said. "I remain committed to tbe notion that tudenc benefit from informal and formal contac't with faculty over topi<:s of mutual interest. Therefore. the eolleges are an important pan of the University progratO. • He sees the residential programs as a -y to combat the feelmas of alienauon experienc:od by s.tuden sometimes manifested in alcohol abuse and vandaliim. Housmg points are an imponaot part of the col~· residential programs. A certain number of r~ are set ide for each college. de~odinl on its s· Students get poin for their participation with llle colleges. Those with the most points get lim pick of rooms in a lottery run wtside of the &~"neral housing lottery. Most 5tudenu get their lim choice of rooms, said Keith Cunachio, the ~coordinator for tbe CoU.ae of Mllbematieal Scie . Colle&e me.mbers can easily get a single room i their sophomore year, but tudent in the geneTallot!ery find that nearly tmpossible until they're junion or seniors. he said. ·A large percentage of the S1udenu are here for the fuU four years," said Mahoney of Black Mountain II. "That"s rare in tbe <lorms. • Recruitment and retention are other fruits of the colleges, accordina to Gold. In recruiting, it's attractive to students to know tbe program i5 here. It belps retain students by pro,idin& pathways for those who are changing majon. "I tlunk every university needs orne mall flexible equivalent of wbat we know as the colleges, • Gold said. 0 I College of Mathematical Sciences College H LEE DRYDE , master.

The exes: differen approaches to conflic Men favor force and use Females play key role · of arms; so elect more ~ resolving disputes between partners women to office? M en are mol:<' likely than women to favor spending money on nuclear weapons. to upport testing the Cl"lilic Missile and to believe that cold war rather than unilateral disarmament is a deterrent to intema.ltonal conflict. a =nt study bas concluded . Do.Wd S. Kumka, Ph. D., a sociologist at UB. and Jane M. Sil><rman. oflhc lnnitute for Social and Economic Research in Manitoba, Canada, found that.. in lhc aggregate, men arc not only more "pro-foru" than women but they view military defense issues in more "simplistic terms. • Women. in the aggregate, consider the same issues from a complex, "'holistic"' penpecti\'C that includes a ... human dimension ... The results were drawn from a system· atic random sample: telephone survey conducted in Manitoba 10 o,·ember. 1983. Because the vast maJority of Cana· dians live within 100 miles of the United States, and the border between the two nations represents more a geopolitical than ideologieal separation, the •urvey results can apply to the American population as weJ.I, the researcher& believe. The dininct gender differences concerning attitudes about nuclear wu and disarmament may be attributed to the way both sexes are socialiud, Kumb theorizes. Most men, he notes, are brou&ht up according to a "male myth" standard that encourages strength and independence and frowns upon peroonal weakness and self doubt. By contrast. women are reared to be more ...otheroriented," usually develop a network of relationships wilb others and are more apt to consider how their decisions wiU affect other&. While men as a group were found to be more pro-force, women tended to be more pacifistic in orientation. displaying more negative attitudes on military buildup and subscribing to the belief that no one wins or survives a nuclear war. I ntercstingly. the research team found that when men and women were asked their opinions on military and defense issues, they responded from two funda· mentally different orien.tations. 'When we looked to see if males and females could be ebuacteriud by their own set of separate concepts, we found that men and women deflrutely organitt their thoughts differenlly. If nothinJelse, males bad a much lim pier perspcettve on lbtngs and tended to see issues in black and white terms. For instance, they viewed militarism to be just the flip ide of anti-militarism." Kumka said. Women, on the other hand, saw shades of grey. Their support for spend1ng money on developing nuclear weapons was tempered by a feu that the weapons may provok:e a nuclear conflict and was shared with lbe additional concern tbat countries should work toward nuclear disarmament to reduce lhc ebances of confrontation. The K.umka/ Silvermanstudy also confirmed wbat previous social scientists bad lbeoriz.ed: that older people bold mon: conservative political attitudes than younger people. In their study, older men were more militaristic than younger men, though both groups were decidedly more pro-(orce lban women. In the aggregate, older respondents tended to favor an increase in defense pending and a buildup of the nuclear usenal and were lc:ss concerned with civil defense. This is not to.say lbat politieal conservatism is an effect of the aging l'roccss, Kumka advised, but only that allttudinal differences ex.ist between younger and· older individ u~. Given lbat Ltie politieal and military structure of the United States is dominated by older males, K.umka speculates that a de-escalation of military buildup does not look promising. "It's frightening to see that the people in control ue lbose most predisposed to increasing and testing nuclear arms," be remarked. Kumka suggests an antidote for those who may not apprOYe of current U.S. military I defense posture: consider voting for a woman. An increased female presence in the Senate and House chambers, he maintains. could significantly alter the politieal climate of the eountry. "As the theories of gender development. suggest, our survival may depend on greater openness to the •female voice,' .. he concl udes. 0 onfiict in a couple' involved iri an intimate relationsh•p is natural. But how pan nero deal wuh lhcir problems. and particularly what strategies women usc to resolve a con i.c t, may be the ke) to a succcs ful relationship, a UB researcher bas found . Helena Syna, Ph.D., who is doi ng postdoctoral research in social psychology at UB, concluded that while a ...,.oman's perception of a successful rda· tionship appears to be reOected in bcr problem-solvin& bebavior during conffict situation , a man's behavior is not necessarily consistent with his overall evaluation of the relationship." These findings came from a rtudy of 40 heterosexual coupk:s who ...... either Dlllrried or co-habttating. Synatheoriud from investigations of olhcT researchers lbat couples who perceived themselves as "undistressed" or relatively hapey and adjusted would use a more concthatory problem-solvins or avoidanoe trategy to resolve their dtffereoccs. On the other hand, "she speculated, dissatisfied couples would gravitate toward a more competitive win-lose Strategy, with each pointing a linger of blame at lhc other. Positive problem-solving behaviors include assuming some rcspoJUibility for difficulties, using actions or words lbat indicate support foT the other, explaining one's concerns and making attempts at reconcilia'tion. By contrast, more nega· tive win-lose behaviors include verbal at~ks , hostile questioning. coercive tactics and denial of accusations. Syna further theorized that satisfied couples wbo use problem~ng techniques would not tend toexperienc:econ· Oict spirals, or esealation, and would be more able to restore intimacy after lbe disagreement. · The study used both self repon and observation. melbndologies which previously had not been used in a previous study to investigate intimate relation· ships. SpecifieaUy, the self repon section of the study included six questionnaires individually administered which, among other things, gauged the couples' relationship adjustment. or levels of stress, and assessed their peruptions regarding C thetr style of coping with conOict and that of thetr mate. In the obser>ational oecuon of the >tudy. couples were asked to role-play two conflict situat ions which the y belje,.'td to be peroonally rek:vant and whic!, occurred with frequency in tbetr own relationships. ' A conllict resolution coding scheme was then used to measure the LTategies e.xhibtled in the videotaped interacuons. The codin sebemc included three DIOJOr classes of conflict IUOiution stratezjes: prohk:m-solvtng. win-lose and a\loida.ncc. Syna noted that previous studies on intimate couples bad relied on verb reports about potentially embarnssing subJCCU and thus could be "prone to selfpresentation di tortions." Such methodolog>, she adds, also "'ignores lhc styles, of conflict resolution as potential means for dassif)'Utg couples as distressed or non-<lislressed ." As he had hypothesized, Syna found that distressed coupk:s were lc:ss capable of dealin11 with connict situations in a comtructwe manner, and, in fact, recip-rocated one another's win-looe behavior, which led to conflict cscalalion and a diminished capacity to restore intimacy after a disagreement. The opposite was found true for welladjusted couples who tended to use problem-solving techniques. Interestingly and unexpcetedly the results also showed that "problemsolving for women was predictive of positive adjustment. or low distress. as reponed by both men and women." while problem-solving for men was "unrelated to the adjustment of either partner.• In other words, if a woman viewed ber relationship as successful, she tended to use problem-solving behavior and take more blame for the problem. If she viewed her relationship as unsuccessful. she blamed her partner for lbe difficulties. Men. however. did not ex.hibit Ibis degree of consistency. One interpretation of lhc finding, •ays Syna, is lbat women are "conflict resolution spccialists"in intimate relationships.

She described an altemattve interpretation: "The indicators of a successful relationship for women are not necessarily equivalent with the Ont5 for men.

These women were also the partners who made tbe first overtures to res-tore intimacy in the ielatioruhip. The tendency by these women to assume relatively more responsibility for problems al o seems to have an effect on lheir mates' behavior, prompting reciprocal conciliation by them, Syna reports. Their mates were "unlikely to employ win-lose behaviors such as using coercive tactics. and they tended to take responsibility for problems and ask the other for information about feelings, needs and From page 13 priorities.• she notes.

"After the partners understand the impact of biased perceptioru on connict resolution styles and conflict outcomes and the significance of reconciliation acts, they can be taught the skills and tactics leading to corutructive termination of conllict." she concludes. ,_ 0 I-" �ac:w.ra, , .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Thefund will permit the school to recruit a prominent scientist who will add a new dame.nsion to research effons. Triggle said. In adduion.the school has de•eloped a ctntenmal logo. The school is in the process of instituting a new computerized graphia facility to e nable faculty to map molecular structures in three dimensoons, he said. An important facility for molecular visuafiza. tion and drug design, it will be operated jointly by the school and the Medical Foundo.Uon of Buffalo. Tri83le mentioned that the School of Pharmacy will be expanding research in D seoetic eJgineering to develop drugs. Genetie·based techniques have been used in the production of hormones and the receptors with wbich hormones and drugs interact. Scientists are able to make a more direct analysis of drug-receptor interactions by osin& FOCtic techniques, aooording to Triggle. "We wish to build bridges with the community, especially alumni," he said, adding that the school will be offerina continuingeducationtbisfallfortbeftrst time in a few years.

Heroic action by engineering student on Brown aided Public Safety officers in apprehending a robbery suspect on Saturday. According to Senior Investigator Frank Panek.

President Steven B. Sample announced this week. The increased appropriation would cover an additional IS6 full-time positions - a major personnc:l expansion. Tbe budget also embodies what Sample referred 10 as "a bold and innovative agenda to move both SUNY and the University Center at Buffalo forward as national leaders in higher education." Even with that, however. almost twothirds of the requested fundingincrease i earmarked for inflation and on-going programs. UB now has the potential to enter the rank of the finest public universities in the country, the President noted - something the recent report of the Independent Commission on the Future of SUNY also emphasized. But, ample said, "the full potential of this campus will ntW!r be rcaltzcd without the wholehearted support of the (SU Y) Trustees and the he greatest•iogle oeed at U B.

A parasite lives on a nother creature. takmg all 1t nouri hment from that creature. The truth as that much of )our life you have been taught to he dependent on people.

It can he very hard for some oung people to learn this. and 1f it i hard for you, there will be counselors, fac ulty membcn. and other students for you to talk to about it in your college or university. One caution: being independent does not mean being alone. It means •baring. And that leads to self-trap two. • Self-Trap Two: The Putdown Trap. Thinl ing that nobod y really cares what you do. mclud ing your parent~ y, ho are miles av.ay. There are. some students who hide from the v.orld even in coli•$•· and yet college life can be very excittng. Why do they hide? Maybe it is more comfortable that way. Maybe they are very shy. or maybe they are afraid . The trouble with this ~If-trap is that the head gets educated but the emotions lag behind. Taking pan in the college or un iversity world means getting yo ur emotions bumped around a bit. but it also means opening up new worlds for you. Makt your~lf take part, maybe not al-..ays. but sometimes. Work at it! You will be surpdsed how the "who me?" thing disappears when you say .... Here I am!" to others. • Self-Trap Three: The Ostrich Trap. Falling to head orr problems before they grow too big.

Warren Perry the ring his father had bequeathed to bim, because he believed that the foundins dean of UB's School of Health Related Profession (HRP) bad · given him the chance to become the university administrator be is today. Yes. Perry acknowledged, he bas molded some of today's allied health leaders. " I thinl:. the most eJtciting thing a person in administrat ion bas the opportunity of doing is to identify people who you know damn well in many wa are much stronger tban you, and you do everything you can to bring out that leadership potential,· Perry said. ~Besides," hesaid , "I always found that the stronger the person was that I found to work for me and with me, well, they made me look so good ." • Perry, who resigned as dean in 1977 to devote his time to teaching. believes that recognizing and cultivating the leaders of tomonow is one of his talents and accomplishments. He pointed out that HRP bas always bcco considered a leadership center. In 1970, while he was dean, the W.IC Kellogg Foundation awarded him1:500,497 to establish the Health Scieni:eo Education and Evaluation Center to prepare faculty and administtalors for allied health programs. At that time, it was the largest individual grant f.rom a private fonndation ever r=ived by UB. P erry, a pioneer in allled health, came to UB in 1966 because he wanted to lead the University'$ effort to he the first in New York State to educate allied health professionals within a school of allied health. "We were the ones who originated the rec:oanizec1 Ilia.

When UB decided to create the School of Health Related Professions, only 12 such schooll existed in the United States. The first was established in 1929 by SL Louis University. Up until then, allied health professionals bad been trained in hospttals. From 1954 until 1966, when HRP wu established here, occupational therapists, physieal therapists, and medical technolo~ts were educated by the School of Medicine. LBJ 's promise of the Great Society ~ated the need for more health workers in .the '60s and the federal government searched for a way to fulfill this . Perry was one of four dean• invited to Washington D.C. to talk tO a Co11gresional committee about the national IT•· lation that eventually beeame the Allied Health Profeuion Training Act of 1966. Before he came to UB, hewu with the Offia: of Vocational Rehabilitation in the U.S. Department of Healtb, Education, and Welfare. He knew that federal legislation concerniR& allied health was in the making. And be was in the mood to move. A good friend of his, Mary Swittcr, whom be called the grand dame of rehabilitation. said to him one day. "Warren. if you're goiR& to stay any longer in Washington, you're goiR& to baw: to decide that it's a federal job f o = . Is that what you wantr "I said, 'Hell, no. I want out. I want to be more creative,· " Perry remembered. He said that Swittcr told him that at the time the most innovative r~ld was allied health. She said to him.

He intends to donate his Shakespeare and music collection to UB someday. He's not sure what to do with the collectio n ofwctoden toys that were once his grandfather's. There are no heirs. There is ccnainly a PelT) legacy, however. From page 6 Joseph Hamburg, M.D., dean of the CoUeac of Allied Health Profeuions at the University of Kentucky, wrote in 1977, "I don' believe the scholarly community of SUNY Buffalo are as fully aware as they might be of the importance of Dr. Perry's contributions to healtll education and services of this nation . .. of the respect and admiration with which he is held in all circles .... of the reflected glory which Buffalo has attained because he was one or them."

A amhro museum in the course of a campus trivia quiz. That's about the extent of most people's knowledge of the Marian White Research Museum of Anthropology, a growing U B resource that serves both campus and community. Located on the second levelofMFAC. the museum has as its purpose ..to curate in perpetuity the material that we hold and to make it aooe ibk f<K any \..met. or learning experience- research, teaching. and / or ind1vidual. The orientation is on learning," explained Dr. Margaret Nelson~ museum director. Although the museum wasn't formally established until 1979, the facility hu roots which extend back to the 1960s when the late Dr. Marian White, a "'ellknown archaeologist in New York State, was a profes or here. "She(White) felt 11 was imponantthat a research institution have a museum so she began acquiring materials," Nelson said. elson never had the opponunity to meet White, but has learned much about her from those who did know her and from the museum itself. "She was such a strong figure that it's almost"" ifsbc'sstill here," Nelson commented. "The place really needs to have a ponrait of her hanging on the wall, she's such an imponant pan of it." The museum now houses all the materials collected by White as well 85 several other resources used by students, researchers, and faculty. The anthropology library is a popular and growing aspect 11f the museum. The majority of the 5,000 volume collection came from two donations - from the White estate and the Dr. Richard Patch estate. elson was instrumental in securing the Patch donation. "The estate had been up in the air for years. I just stepped in at the right time and asked for the collection." she explained. Patch, an economic anthropologist s~ng in Latin America, taught at UB fro~J968 to 1983. Additional books and materials have been added to the tibrary by faculty and students who regularly donate extra and unneeded texts, Nelson noted. Library materials are available for reference use only and are not loaned out to anyone except graduate students, on a limited bMis. "That way everything is here when you need it," elson said.

"Whatever' here will be cared for forever. • While many of the materials were collected and preserved by White, additions have come from other sources, including some donations from amateur collectors. "There are many people who have been collecting anifacts since they were kids and in their older years they want to see t tbings perpetuated, so they give them to the museum." elson said. M an) materials also come from another entity begun by White, a "contract" program based across the ball from the museum. Through that program archaeologists are contracted to investigate areas slated for construction work usina state or federal funding, elson explained. By law, such areas must have an archaeological clearance before they can be disturbed. "Contract archaeologists conduct shovel tests to see if there are any sites in the area: if they find any (sites), they collect the material from the testS and make recommendations as to the signi!IC81la: of the site and the procedures that should be followed," she explained. Among options available are full excavatiqn or protection, she added. "Archaeological sites are a nonrenewable resource - once destroyed tbey will never come back. That's why we collect this material: it's all that's left to record a site,.. elson commented. For each job done by lbese archaeologists and others who wish to have their work recorded at the museum. an entire record of work done in an area is curated incl uding: all anifacts, fteld notes, "Not an open collection, the facility holds its material in boxes with a concern for preservation."

Although he has already invested •a year of contemplation, a year of observation, and rears of work," Margulis estimates 11 Will be another two to three years before be finishes tbeconservationefTon. During the year of observation, Marguli researched the history of the pole. Ht now surmises il was can.·ed in approx· ornately 1885 by Alaskan Indians. "II has been said that it was over 70 feet high, but I have measured it over and over again and the nearest I can come to that is 45 feet," Margulis noted. In 1900. the pole WM brou ' down through Canada and across the Un11ed tates to Albany. It was to he a sift to Matt Larkin. an inventor who made his fortune from a juke-box-like mochine tbat predated &ltson 'l phon"'J"ltph. His friends, who were frequent guest at Camp Gleason, an exclusive lodge established by Lorkon outside Albany on Burden Lake, thought it was the perfect sift for a man who seemingly bad everythins. But before the t()(cm was erected in I~ in front of Larkin'• Burden Lake house, "it was bastardized," accordi!IJ to Margulis. Five carved, oversized r;11hcas of the heads of Larkin and four friends were attached to the pole, apparently in place of five small totems. (A totem is a symbol, usually representing a clan or some social organization.) "Ori&inally there must have been five small totems - frogs, rabbits aod the like - where the heads 10cre put on," Margulis said. Similarly, a larger rabbit totem being held by the ears was removed and a dedication plaque carved in its p~ . It is believed that at the same time a skeleton, outfitted w a top hat and trumpet .. as · added to the top. "It has been said that there was o story at the camp that if a vtrglD walked by. the hom would blow ... and ot never did ," Margulis related. T he pole stood at the camp on its I"C'V1SCd state untit a seve:re torm blew it doWD ill the late 1950s. David Scboenholt, then owner oft be camp, cut the remains oftbe pole into six pieces and stored it on the grounds. Several years later, Schoen holt's daughter, Laura, bocame on anthropol~ ogy tudent here and offered the polt to the department. In 1978,shebro~~gbt it to the Univeroity and it was plated in the museum. The hi tory of the pole esubhsbed, Margulis embarked on a year of contemplation in which he determined bow to proceed with its restoration. He formed a committee to help him make all the necessary decisions. It was determined that be should attempt to restore the pole with materials like those most likely used in its creation - sharkskin (for sandpaper), fish oil, and northwest Pacific Coast red cedar. Making this deci ion was not nearly as difficult as finding the materials, however. Margulis' search for the wood provideo a typical example: .. I wrote to an Alaskan senator and the After several years of worl,the process toll occupies the majonty of bo tune.

Hunt's dedication broU~~>t taos,ible results that clearly benefited Buffalo's quest for civic revitalilation. Simon said Hunt was "one Q{ the major ficures in the Buffalo jau revival, if not major figure in it ... the city ow him an enormous debt."

He made it his point that all forms of music from traditional to tbe most modem were to be jointly presented." Hunt never forgot local jan anist5 or specifically local concel-ns.

The TrusteeS directed that divestiture of University funds in U.S. companies operating in South Africa be"achieved as soon as prudently possible consistent with the fiduciary responsibilities of the Board." but no later than one year from the date of their action. Further, the Trustees said that in oi-der to assure fulfillment of their fiduciary responsibilities, they would continue to review the University's policy on endowment fund investments and, to the extent there may be meanin&ful change in the racial laws and policies ofthe South African government. consider modification or rescinding of the policy statement in the future. The Trustees also directed Chancellor Clifton ·R. Wharton, Jr.• to explore the possibility of developing additionpl educational programs beyond thoS<'-already inexistepccwi.I.IJ4!SU Y,orincooperation wit'h other Universities or institutions, to benefit students who are disadvantaged or unserved by South Africa's higher education system. Tuesday's action, which was passed by a vote of9to 4, followed a meeting ofthe Board's Investment Committee, along with other interested Trustees on Monday where positions for and a&ainst divestiture were discussed at length. Following the discussion, the Trustees recommended a resolution for t he full Board's action to divest current securities holdings of the endowment funds of the Universi ty in U.S. companies operating in South Africa. The T rustccs' decision follows a resolution adopted on April24, 1985, at which time the Board votced its condemnation of the South African practice of apar- tbcid and approved a policy of selective divestment of holdings tn U-.S. companies doing business in South Africa which failed to comply with tbc expanded Sullivan principles. However, the Board noted that since its ApriJ action. conditions in Sollth Africa have grown more grave with intensified violence and without significant reform measu~ T he Trustees said that in the face of a deteriorating economic and political situation, holdings in companies doing business in South Africa may be susceptible to greater risk and downward pressure on their value. The Board proposed, therefore, that effective immediately there shall be ho further acquisition from monies compris· ing the endowment funds of SU Y of any South African-related assets. The assets would include debt or equity securities issued by firms or corporations doing business in South Africa, securities \ issued by tbc government of South Africa, and securities or financial instruments issued by banks or otbcr financial insti tutions extending credit to t~ government of South Africa.· The Trustees also directed tbose firms whose securities are affected by their action be informed it does not constitute a judgment on the inte&fity of any such individual firm, but rather "represents tbc policy of the University determined on the basis of prudent investment criteria and an overriding concern with human values and the negation of such values by the present racial laws and poticics of the South African government." At the present time tbc University·s endowment fund owns stocks or securities in 13 corporations operating in South Africa which have a combined market value of SII ,SI2,994. Overall, the fund 's investment portfolio totals $90 miltion, the vast majority of which is UB endowment. o • / �·=-·117, No. 5 y HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR early evel)one v.ho hves away from home: whole goong to school has at lea t ont "borrtble roomm.a te" tory to tell uke the creep v.bo never washed.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

By CHRIS VIDAL T here: w a time not too long ago when women were considered quite literally the "weaker sex." when "well-rounded" was a compliment of a woman's figure instead of her penonality, and when muscles and athletic pro,.ess were the territory of a mon, not his "better half." No longer Unbke women tennis playen who 50 yean ago competed against their calflength skirts as much as they did against the playen on the other ide of the net. today female athleies compete against each other's strength and determination to win. More than the standards of garb have changed . Women are no longer stymied by attitudes that restricted their athletic opponu'nities as recently as a decade ago. Women arc not onty compeling as atb~ letes - their athletic ambitions and goals are being taken seriously. And met. t 8 , the number of -.omenathletic program• has doubled tn the past 10 yean. according to Belly Dimmick . whohassel'\~ "'omen· athleuc director throughout that decade. "What really plca~es me is the change tn atutude about women m spons. fhe acceptance, and the recognition that w~ need thiS." she sa1d . ~our program definitely ha Improved O\er the A years.~ Ten yean ago. the Univenll} offered women's vanity teams in lield hockey. volleyball, lenni . basketball, and swimming. Since then, the program has grown, a.nd now also encompa.sses soccer. cross country, softball, and track and lield. The most recentaddition to the women ,s slate - indoor tract - is scbe· duled to begin this winter. The increase in the number of women's athletic programs is due, at least in part, to a Title IX interpretation that requires colleges aod univenn!CS to offer "comparable opponunmcs .. 10 men' or women' srons program In other '\\Ords, if an in lttuuon offers fhe men· athletiC programs, th<y also must offer fi~ for "·omen Comparable opponurut}.

The amount of funding that each program receives is decided by the Student As~ociation's Athletic Go\ernance Board. The women's athletic programs are funded at S64.000 this year.

In the televised announcement on March 23. 1983. Reagan said, "I call upon the ~ntifu: community in our c.ountry~ those who ga\'e us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents nOW tO the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear ..-capons impotent and obsolete.• The scientific community, of cou-, includes university professors, many of whom hurried to sigo up the research grants offered bj' tbe D<:panment .of O.fense.

The -..-.a_pons would be used against missiles to mc:apacitate them before they could do serious barm. These weapons, called rail guns, could be developed easily because 1he technology already exists to build them. according to Graham. Testifying before Lbe Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, in 1983, Graham uid, "If you worry that this(a kinetic energy weapon) is not technically feasible, I would like to call your attention and the attention of your staff to a document re«ntly declassified by the O.pa.r tment of Defense which was Project Defender.

Rennie, vice president for research and graduate education at UB. A unique concept for research reactors at universities. the ,a rrangement calls for the nuclear rea<>tor to be managed and operated as a subsidiary of tbe Maryland company, while UB retains ownership and licensing of the physical plant. Marshal Greenblatt, Ph.D .. president of Materials Engineerin11 Associates (MEA), said that the subs1diary will ..., aggressively promoting the reaCtor's services to professors at other State Un1versity of New York centers, to industrial researchers in the Western New York area, and to [{)reign governments cooperating in the U.S. government's bilateral exchange programs. • Under tbe terms of the contraCt.

"fhe University's Rad1alion Proteclton Depanment will rontinue to handle d.isposal of nuclear wastes. In addition, the new high technology company w1U manage the facility as a teaching and research institution consistent wllh the goals of the State University of New York. A be nuclear reactor will co'ntinue ta do research on materials and equipment· exposed to radiat,ion for government and T industry. The research includes the study of the effects of radiati o n on material;. neutron acti ilation analvsis of trace element for envjronmentafand exploratory studie , and electron beam and gamma irradiation of marerials for chemical studies. One of the reactor's most important funCtions is tosupplyshort-lhed radioisotopes for research , medicine and industry. l.,.ouis Henry, director of the facilit}• sina 1983, said tbat be will continue to work in the same job, but he will become an employee of tbe new subsidiary. "We wiU be able to operate more effectively under this new arrangement," Henry said, addingthal the facility will be abt. to compe\e for short-terrn nesearch projects under the oew management and have the Ouibility of a private company in purchasing and marketing. Engineering students will continue to work at the facility to gain job sldUs in operating a nuclear reactor. Because of dwindling demand, the University suspended adm"issions to its nuclear engineering degree program in 1980. Present demand is grea(est for engineers who specialize in one area - such as electrical engineering - and have some kqowledge of nuclear engineering. Ope~ed in 1961 , the experimental nuclear reactor operates on low·grade six-pec-«nt-enriched nuclear fuel contained in zirconium tubes. Unlike power reactors, us~s reactor is capable of producing only 2 million watts of power. Power reactors prnduce around 2,000 million walls. reac~ major customer of the nuclear A tor's services. Materials Engineering Associates was founded four years ago by scientists formerly with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Wasbinj:ton, D.C.

The UB anist is one of three whose work has been integrated into this station. Following a campaign to publicize the project in the sprinjt of 1981. slides and biographical matcnal were sent to the N FT A by over 500 artists.

Webster died Friday, September I:., and with her went one of the few remaining lin to the old Univtnity ~ Capen's univenity. She knew Samuel Capen well, used to sit at his side during the drawnout, tedious ceremony of 'goinJ the psbns in sheepskins. They bad uaf tho)SC days and each w personally igned and the signatures carefully dried and blotted. Capen "'rote with a bold nouri h while MISS Web ter applied her name more timidly, bn behalf of the Council. · Christopher .Baldy, John Lord O'Brian, the Crosb . George Crofts, the Schoelllopfs, old Judge Babcock , an· cellor onon, Walter P. Cooke, C aries McCormick Mitchell the Goodyears, she "'orled with them all and could tell tales about most-fascinatmg lottie tidbils of institutional tore. She became a UB institution herself: • A summa rum Jaud• graduate in liberal an . Class of 1923 (also class poet), heexpeneoced the move tot he Main St. Campus when the County's poor house was till located in what is now Hayes · Hall. • She w3Soneofthefust women in the nation to become an assistant tf'Q.Surerof a major university. The first woman ever elected by the Alumni to the Council of the University of Buffalo, and the ftrst female to receive the prestigious Samuel P. Capen Award, the hi~t honor an alumnus could then reoe.vt. • She also helped establish the old Alumnae Association and iu scholarship loan fund. TJu: list of accomplishments is long. So were the yean, from her entry u a freshman in 1919 until her retirement August 31 , 1972 and beyond. Throughout that entire span she lavished lovt and loyalty, all her best efTons. on her University, defending it 10 time of need, relishing its triumphs, above all, carrying on its work. Cabbages were growing on the lawn when Emily Webster first came to the Main Street Campus. She had been attending classes in the original home of the ans conege, Townsend Hall on iagara Square in downtown Buffalo. when there wu a lire which forced classes temporarily to the Main Street site. She was nne of 15liberalans graduates in 1923, tbe "largest" class in the history of the University's arts and sciei)CCS program up to that point. When she failed to lind a job as a Latin teacher, 'her major professor. Philip Becker Goe~di her to a "temporary" job with G rge D . Crofts, then Umversity . UB was then in the process of collecting SS million in pledges from its preeedtnt-setting endowment campaign ol'l920. The next year a Latin teaching job did open up, but against the advice of her mother and Prof. Goetz. she opted to stay on campus. She'd been "captivated by .the world of investments and promised a promotion," she told the Buffalo N~ws years later. During her early years in the Treasurer's office, she made a report or deciS-ions on all money invested or spent by lhe University. She wrote a repon on every security purchased for the endowment fund . For decades, before stafT• of pur· Emily H. Webster ::Y chuins agents were hired, he was in close touch with evtry e peoditure. from white mice for the labs to contracts for new buildings. She wu the first labor relations officer, dealing finnly but afTec· tionately with the "deioi ladocs union" on behalf of the m¥Crsity. The ladies idolized her. In 1930, her title .,..as changed from tStant istant to the treasurer to treasurer. The terminology was changed in 19S I to assistant vice chancellor for busines afTairs and amstanl treasurer. In 1962, shew g;vtn responsibility for the Office of Cont...as Administration and from 1969 to her retirement w as•ociate director of the B Foundation. be watched , dealt with and was pan of change. She watched the old fol movt ofT the Main Street Campus. and tbe com and cabbaJe patches give way to lawn which, in tum, wu upplanted by new buildings and parkin& lots. She saw UB grow, at first tentatively and then in S ings and papen, bound in Moroccan leather, were proudly d1 pia~ out to her belo'-ed hakespearecollectton in ber East urora home. At various points in hercarcerwa!Jo performed the funcuo of secretar) (though the utle · tan!) to the U8 Foundation. the Faculty· tudent Association, and the Western ew Yor uclear Researeh Center. M· Webster wu vice president of the Eastern Auociation or Colkfe and niversny B Officera and wrote a history for that oraan11.1.tion on 1ts SOlb anntversary. She and Hortentc Friedman of the University of CbtCIJO were the first two women to become assistant treasurers of major uruvemu.s: ne1ther, however, becamerlwtreasurer because of their gender, M1 Webster noted occas1onally.

Ways of Erie and iagara Counucs and panicipating agencies, lcided off yestOTday. RobertJ . Wagner, vice president for University serviceo, il chairman of UB's 1985 SEFA drive. "We an: a public Universit , dependent on public help and support. SEFA is the most visible way we can show our support to that community," he said. The slogan for this year' drive. ve YourWay,Support EFA,"ismore n a catchword. It is a realistic view of how the campaign works. SEFA is a convenient, dependable, and effiCient emplorce.<Jircctcd procedure for contribuung to non-profit health, service, and recreational ag<n<ies through_payroll d<ductioos, pledges, or one-time donatioos. UB OTDployees can choose specafic recipients or contribute to ) a gen<ral fund, with allocation of the latter made at the discretion of the SEFA commillee. The SEFA committee, which reviews agency prograros and budgets and allocates funds according to where it feels need t greatest, is composed of six State employees empowered with a total of 12 vola. and ~presenlallves of 1hc charitable federations. who are entitl<d to 10 votes. More than 100 agencies: ranging from local concerns to nat io nal and international health and human n;ce agencies, aro anclud<d an the nlled Wa}· partici· pating f«<rrations.

"We hope all U B employee~ "'ill participate in SEFA thas )car because they can up port thtirfa\·orite a.gcncies that way~" he add«! . The United ay gives direct help each year to one in three Western • rw Yorkers through assistance programs that include alcoholism and drug counseling; help for bauered children and spouses through agenc1es such as Haven Houst and Parents Anonymous; help with energy costs; family counseling through organizations such as Child and Family Services, Cen· ter for Young Parents, and Compass House; blood programs such as the Red Cross and Association for Sickle Cell Disease Inc.; special health programs; emergency relief; programs for the physically and mentally handicapped including the iagara Frontier Vocational Rehabilitation Center, Buffalo Goodwill Industries Rehabilitation Center, the Salvation Army, and a variety of other agencies; services for the elderly, in<'"·1ing a number of neighborhood e< and children's recreation pro&ram.. as Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, <.uri Scouts, Camp Fire, and YMCA. ther federations participating in SEF A include 23 health·relat<d agencies that offer community services. public health education, and professional education and research, and 19 international service agencies that pro,;de food , medicine, education. and tools for long· range self-help development programs and emergency survival needs for more than 38 million people overseas. Supporting SEFA is more than contributing to charity -it is a means of insuring programs will be available when they are needed. That need extends beyond the unemploy<d, the dasadvantagcd and the unfortunate; last year. more than S,OOO tate employees in Erie and i•· gara Countaes were served by a~noes supported by EFA .

The three-year plan, organized by EOC Director Muriel Moore and Leonard Holton. head of the center's data entry faculty, is based on a $180,000 computer system designed to gi~~e students and faculty &like bands-on computer experience. The backbone of the program is a Systems 36 mainframe minicomputer that, in addition to expanding data entry opportunities, will streamline a variety of EOC functions, including clerieal and secretarial capabilities, and access to records and information by management, faculty, and staff. "We're uyiog to take a holistic approach so the equipment isn 'l just there for education but for faculty use and student use," Dr. Moore said. The mainframe computer will connect with IBM-PC and Apple computer terminals to be used both in the classroom and by the staff, with software capabilities that include fully automated records and admissions, and a budget system. "The system will allow us to put terminals in all the counselors' offices so they will be able to key into the file," Moore said. . • Because of the increasing role the computer system will play in the center's functions, faculty has been instructed on its use by Holton, who also was responsible for designing it. Members of the current faculty have been trained to teach in the data entry program, also in response to Three-year plan EOC aims for computer literacy for all the increasing role computers will play. "Most of the faculty volunteered time this summer to learn to use the a>mputers," said Holton, who in addition to teaching at the center, attends classes at U B. worts as a computer consultant, and is a computer operator at Brainworks, formerly Automated Systems Design. The computer system that be hu recommended for the center is designed "so that all our students will ba~~e the opportunity to become computer literate," Holton said . "Our goal is to provide every student who comes in some type of computer keyboard experience." Muriel /lloo"' end Leonerd Holton. T he three-year plan will benefit all students atthei::OC. rather than just those enrolled in the data entry prop-am, Holton said. For example, the IBM-PC terminals will ha~~e color monitors to allow the addition of computer graphics to the graphics communications program. Students in vocational programs such as dental assisting will be exposed to tl!t"1nssics of computer use to prepare them for a job market where many denlists' offices already are equipped with word processors and other computer capabilities. And the secretarial science program will reorient and merge with the data entry prop-am. The brunt of m~ students' computer e><perience at the EOC will be limited to the basics of general use. Holton said. aUhough some computer programming maybe studied. Thecenteralsoi~txplor­ ing the possibility of adding a computer repair program that could serve a dual purpose: pro•ide education in a growing area of the high teeh job market. as well u an in-bouse means of dealing with tune-ups and repairs of the system. According to Moore, the computer terminals chosen for student and faculty use were selected on the buis of an already pro~~en track reeorc1. "We chose the IBM-PC's because that is what is mainly being used out in private industry,~shesaid . "And the Apples have excellent business education software." The EOC actually has nearly completed the first third of its three-year program, Dr. Moore said, with the finalization of plans, tbe development of the system design, and securing the majority of the eq uipmenl. The second stage of the plan now is beginning, she noted , with the training of the faculty and utilization oftbe system in the EOC's data entry programs. The final year of the plan will be develed to "more expansion," she said, when tbe "equipment will be able to provide instructional support for all our systems." The primary objective of the EOC is to provide education-related services to persons whose educational and economic situations have limited their access to learning and job s.kill opportunities. Funded by the State and sponsored by UB, the EOC offers programs in basic education, college preparation including high school equivalency, and preparation for vocational and tecbnieal occupations. AU programs are tuitioo-free. - 0 �vs::-r1t.1• 17, No. 4 12 1~ elephant the dedic:atioo fc:suvttiea and pOICIII for a pbotoaraph.

During the mid-nineteenth century, long before the mass media explosion, advertising was limited to newspapers, signboards. business cards, and other printed material. This deartli of advertising outlets in tandem with a booming Civil War economy sent local businessmen and entrepreneurs scrambling for new and unusual ways to attract potential customer&, notes Marie Hewett. author of the article on Elephant Joe and director of education at Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester. Lucky for everyone concerned. presenting the ordinary with flair was second nature to Elephant Joe. His own shop, which ev'<!'tually moved to 46 Exchange Street, tyfified his promotional benL From roo to basement. the facade of the building was covered with removable panels boasting samples of his work, transforming it inlo .. one gigantic sign . ~ His self-portrait hung at the peak, over which Joe managed to prop a cut-out of an elephant.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

GSEU continues to work while it waits for PERB By JILL·MARIE ANOIA !though still a"'aitinll action on its petition for cerufication as the exclusive bargaining repre· sentati\'t of graduate assistants (GAs) and teaching assimnt (TAs), the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) has a full agenda p180ned for this A (all. The group hopes to "create an awareness" of the benefits a union can bring, according to Tim McGreevy, Buffalo representative to the GSEU State Eaecutive Committee and a third-year graduate students in linguistics here. To date, tbeGSEU bas an active mem· bership and iu own constitution but bas yet to be recognized by the State of ew York as a SU Y-wide bargaining ageqt. The group submitted a petition for that authority to the Publoc Employment Relations Board (PERB) in January but approval is pending while the bolUd ascertains that the signat,ues represent at least30peroentoftbeGAartdTA~ ll1ency, McGreevy explained . ,..; He added that once the signatures are verified and the proper show ol interest in unionizing established, PERB can take two courses of action. The Board could oenify the GS i U as an official bargain· ing representative or it could sponsor a cenification election: If the election option is chosen, the ballot would include the GSEU and any other union interested in representing the GA/ TA interest; also included on the ballot would be a "no representation" choice for those opposed to the union idea. "If the petition is approved, the GSEU will cover all SUNY university centers and coll<:ges," McGreevy added . Whik awalling PERB' decisoon, the GSEU i concerning itSelf with orgaoizational matters. A "steward system" bas been established; each depanment no has a GSEU teward. or representative. for graduate students to contact. "We get the reaction of people from each department through the toward; McGree•1 said. "We're a grass-roots organizauon - we get our ideas from what peopl<: say." Several issues already been brought to the GSEU",-'all of which will guide the workiogs of the group this f . Through a newsl<:tter, advertisong. nyers, and regularly scheduled meetings, the GSEU will attempt to "show what's going on and the reasons to have a union,'"' M'cGreevy noted. h• . ne is$<11: at GSEU has already addressed this semester is "payless payday, • a result of the current payroll system that affects aU State employees. Paychecks are is ued bi-weekly, wub a one pay-perind delay so tbat the check received os actually for work do"" three and four weeks before payment arri\-es. "We'd rather have pay on time instead or gelling an enracheck after classes end in June, • McGreevy said. Payless payday, Sept. 4, was the subject of a GSEU Mwsletter and was also brought to the attention of President Steven Sample through a letter-writing campaign, McGreevy noted . ...The current system is really inconvenient - rent. utilities, books, and transponation expenses aU come at the beginningoftbesemester,"hesaid .

Citon& the current $4,800 {per academoc year) minimum salary for T Ast GAs as too low, McGren-y not01 that hiring a graduate 5tudent hill-time only m.a.kes conditions worse. " We just don' think ($4.800 per )'Cat) is livable, and to plitthat in bill is reaUy not livabl<:." he Slid. "It forces you to get another job so you can have enouab money to live on, yet you're supposed to be a student; too ... McGreevy is aware of systems used at other universities for dcttrminiog the pay and duties of ~aduate studentS, some of "'bicb determone pay by rating the duties done by an indivodual on an e tablisbed university-wide scale. -~~5 schools, lik.e the niversity of Mi~ at Ann Arbor. have fractional appointments - tbe,Y give you a percentage of a line dependtn& on the amount of work you do," McGreevy noted . "We want something lilte that here at UB. something less artibrary. There should be a standardized evaluation of work done." M cGreevy urged that the basic GA / TA salary be increased to $8,000 per academic year. "The disparity between salaries of professors and T As is disproponionate.

Return deadlines also wit be extended to bclp cue the transition. "We are extending due dates so books being checked out now will be due no earlier than the ftrSt of November; Lyonl said . The extensions are intended to diminish the number of books brought to tbe library during the movin& period.

Abbott Hall, originally built in 1935, has been undergoing renovations since March, 1983, and the $5.5 million project includes a 5 l,()()(kquare-foot addition. While there are no plans to enlarge tbe Health Sciences Library's 236,000 volume collection, tbe added space will allow library offiCials to bring back materials that have been in storage, including the pre-1940 journal collection.

Library officials originally had hoJ.>O<I to move the bealtb sciences collecuon from Kimball to Abbott before the stan of lbe School of Medicine's semester on Aug. 19.

Roswell Park iJ already pan of the UB Medical School's teaching hospitals system. "I would like to increase' the inter· change helween the two institutions among the graduate programs," he comments. Roswell Park has a large post· graduate and doctoral program operated by the Roswell Park Graduate Di•ision of UB. All institute scientists in this di- vision are UBresearch faculty members as well Two other areas where Dr. Wright plans to strengthen Roswell Park/ UB ties are in faculty recruitment and residency programs for physicians. He would like Umversity department chairmen and depanments to have greater input in recruitment for new institu~emic otaff, panicularly in the cltntcal areas. A large proportion of the institute's clinicians also have faculty appointments with U D's School of Medicine. "In particular, I would like to develop residency programs (for physicians-intraining) at Roswell that would be pan of UB's system of residency l?rograms," be explains, adding that "tb1s would also apply to post-graduate training programs."

For a while, everyone seemed to ignore the odor of lhcir presence and tbe honktnl at all hours and enjoyed the acesc. but lhcn naiUK got confuted. ln January the geese too lhc roles of nestina mdtller and protecti•-e males. With a round of honkinc and a ettarse for the kncccap, lhc geese would scod any Intruder runninJ. The aecse were not only confused about the season, they also seemed bewildered about choosmg one nesting ite. They left egg in IC\eral places, unprotected from the freczina tempe~a-· tures.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Then men stl!fled crying in public, the dollar became as laughable as the peso, and the U.S. lost a war. Teachers brought their A's to the registrar's office in wheelbarrows; there was one for everybody. It was onfy polite. · Now come Rambo, Reagan and their fellow travelers, impolitely restoring "standards." Central America is bearing tough talk: from Washington. Educators are being bushwhacked with indignant reports on how they've botched things. The dollar is trong, and, according to national reports, an A is becoming an A again. PrinCeton is cracking down. Penn State is stabilDcing. · · And what of UB? Are any excesses being squeezed out of the grading ystem here? I he wcr to that, according to T fKUity members and administrators questioned by tbe is easy. Yes. an R~porlq, aa:onling to tnformation supplied by tbe OIT'K:e of lnstitutiOIII] Studieo (sec ...;ompanyingchut), U B is following the nation-wide tn:nd. Fewer bi&h grades and more lo &ndcs have been pven in n:«nt yean. But tbe second part to th.a t question is much banter: Why? Reasons offen:d by one person wen: quietly n:jected b the next. There was a COD.Knsus on a few points. however. Those interviewed said then: probably is no single reason for tbe tn:nd. The data availa.ble an: insufficient to suppon or disprove any of the theories. An intricate study would be needed to lind an answer, and even that might not uneovertbecomplex causes, they reason. A n:«nt anicle in 1M Chronick of Hixh~r EdtKation n:poned a stabilization of grades not only in tbe Ivy l..eaguc and in the Nittany Mountains but also at the Univcnity of Michigan, and Califor· nia State Untversity. C. James Quann. n:gistrar at Washington State. cOnducted a nation-widt study of grading. Grade poin1 averages (GPAs) have fallen at every institution be queried, acconliftg to the Chronick article. 7'h~ Chrbnick attributes~ trend b diverprimarily to reforms mstitu sities since the mid-1970. whe en: was substantial inflation of grades. Grade inflation seems to have ~n tamed by a combination of .stricter evaluations by professors, cutbacks in options sucb as pass/fail grading. and incn:ascd attention to bow student performance i assessed. Is that the story at UB? It depends on whom you tall< to. arbara Howell, professor of physiol· ogy, has held several positions with the Faculty Scnate·and chain:d its grading committee. She drew out several gtapbs based on Institutional Studies data to get a better pictun: of the situation bcrc. B One of the graphs showed that grade dcllation occurn:d in the Faculttes of A ns and ters and Social Sciences as wdl as in atural Sciences and Mathematics. o smgle ftcld seem to be grlldmg banter. "It's a ben! phenomenon," Howell mused. "But wh.a t started the bent in that direction?" She theorized that the math and writin& sldlls ncquin:-nts of tbe General Education program may have pulled grades do'l"'l. Students who would bave avoided math in the past now must face up to it. They may be fmding, too, that how they cxpn:ss their thoughts in writing is considered as imponant as what those thoughts an:. To get 1 wider angle on the subject, Howell n:fern:d to a self~dy done in 1972 at UB. Grades rose from 1965 to 1970, and the present deflation hasn\ yet brought &ndes back down to the 1965 level, she found . Between 1965 and 1970, the trend sumed to be toward taking S f U courses, she said. By 1976. grades A through ~ oonrututcd ollly about 60 per cent of all gradeopven to undergraduates. AltboUJb the number of grades A through F is nsing. it still bas not returned to the 1965 level, she noted. "Maybe one of the reasons the number of A's and B's was lower 10 1965 was because c\lerybody bad to take 1 grade, • she su£J!C$ted. Many people she bas talked to have also suggested that tbcqualityofstudcnts has aooe up. "It may not be 'quality,' bo~r. that can be meuun:d, but attitude, "sbe ~ "1bc studen want mon: despcratelyio · learn." But no &rJU!Ilent for the inen:asc or dec,......aseia tbcquality ofsrudcntscao be made from tbe data available, $be pointed out.

Baier, Ph.D., P.E., an internationally-known biomedical eDJincer scientist, bas been appointed director of the Health~ Instrument and Devices lnstotute (HIDI) at UB. HID I. an advanced technoiO!)' center, was funded iniually in 1984 to develop and evaluate health tnstruments and devices in cooperation with industry. While more than SSOO,OOO in industry· related .-arch bas resulted since HIDI's inception, efforts wiU be intemiflcd to meet the full opponunities available throughout Western ew York and else· where. University pokespersons say. Original funding and subsequent matching funds for HIDI wen: provided through the New York Department of Commerce's ~.cience and Technology Foundation. • Dr. Baier's credentials and past experieoet in the fields of engineering as well as surface cbemistry will pr e rene,.cd impetus in fostering a relatinnsllip between local and University scientists and industry which can result in improvements in lbe Western New York economy," says President Steven Sample. · Baier, a registered professional chemical engineer and a nationally oenified environmental engineer, holds eight patents and is founder of Baier, Joe., a st&ltup company located at lbe Western New York Technological Development Center at 22 II Main SL Other investors, according 10 Baier. are assuming control of that company as he takes directorship of HIDI . A faculty member in UB's Depanments of Biophysical Sciences and Oral Pathology •ince 1970. Baier was a taff scientist at An in / Calspl\n Advanced Technology Center pnor to jo1ning B full-time. His achievements, which lll 1983 earned him the prestig~ousCiemson Award from the oc1etyofBiomaterial .include ,.ork on the interior surface of the anifiCial human bean and developmeot of lbe umbilical cord vein grafts. His research on determining propentes of the urface wn of dolphins, conducted at lbe Aquarium of iagano Falls, were to be featured t · month on NBC's "Today" program. With more than 200 ruean:h publications to his eredtt., ineludiogjoumal anicles, books, tellt chaptas and oudio ousettes, Baier h al o iCVed on the editonal board of the Jount~~l of Bio,.,d•clll MaJmals RUHTC~t for more than a decade. • He has been 1 consultant for American C'-Janamid, Meadox Mcdicals, Cordis Corp., Baxter Travenoi,Science Applications, W.L.

A similar surface, be adds, once existed in the dining room, living room, and library. In his research, O'Hern makes frequent references to tbe often wry, orten poignant correspondence of Wright and Martin, as contained in 250 letters writlen between-the two men from 1902to 1935. These lettas, a gift to UB from the Friends oftbe Darwin D. Martin House, an: housc:l in tbe University Archives. Also available are the letters of contract, letters orifering materials for tbe bouse, blueprints and taped interviews with tbe two Martin children, all of which materials the ,University owns. BeforQO'Hem and his team go about rippinJ! 0111 an; walls, they have "a pretty good tdda" o what they will flnd, by vinue oE-'their research. Recently, for example, O'Hem and his associates "did a lot of .research about what was supposed IQ.bappen in tbe lobby area, befo~ we tore .!Jut a wall. WeU, we tore it out, and~Gnd we found what we ex to fllld, wbicbislbe base oflbe wooden n which used to hide lbe stairs." . · every case, "full documentation of bOth construction and appearance . is req~ before any changes can be made," pndates lbe advisory board statemeDI. Fur-nUhiop, too, add a great deal to the restotation effort. Nearly all furniture in the bouse consists of onginal Wright pieces, if ncit original to lbe house. Tbe original dining room table was apparenlly thrown out, but Martin family photos show a rouncj table (later found in the basement) present in the dining room. SAED student Stephen Koy, who is also completing blueprints of the or.iginal Baier is a membtt of nllmtrous prof an addiuonal SIO million. A majority of theie efforts, Baier potnts out, have involved health/ medtcal related devioces, a cate,ory wb.i.cb, aa:ordin& to federal page 7 fireplace, is restoring that table, along with other furnitun: . In addition 10 ~be few ~Tree of l.ile" windows th6t do remain in situ, two doors from the demolished conservatory are on extended loan. "These are obviously wonderful to have beeause there\ no more conservatory, 70 says O'Hem. He bas obtained bid> to rebuild lbe original windows in one room of lbe bouse. These bids are based on tbe manufacture of tbe windows in the original materials. Tbe information gleaned will be used to apply for add.itional renoration grants.

Benjamin Townsend and his .,.,re Jeanette Townsend, gove the Manm House 1wo 18th century Japanese prints from tbe series "The M1rror of tbe Beauties of lbe Green House" by Hanarubo. Two prints from the same series w;,re among those selected by Wright for the Martin House, O'Rem explains. Tbe C1llator believes such gifts point to an incn:ased public confidence in the University's reotoration effort. O'Hern and the advisory board are also studying the room which once served as M anin 's study as a pouible site for a gift shop. isitors continue to view this imponant piece of American architecture. O'Hern estimates that 25 per cent of Martin Howe visitors are from out of state; many come to Buffalo rpecifteally to see the bouse. Recent tours have been arranged for visitors from the Cleveland Museum of An, !Uinois Institute of TechnoiO!)', and the University of Toronto. "We've bad b!Woads of lcids from Ohio and other states, architecture students, city planners from Toronto and elsewhere, an students and interior designers." Two regular tours are held eacb week of the year and inte~ persons may also telephone O~ern at 716831-3485 to arrange tours at other times. As pan of the renoration effort, O:Hern will travel to Wright's Willits House in Highland Park, lUinois, the famed architect's first "prairie" bouse, built in 1902. This bouse, says O'Hern. "is being tolally restored with adequate amounts of money. I'm going out there to check on their techniques, etc." In addition, be will lecture on Manin House restoration at Wright's Hollyhock House in ~ Angeles, another ~right-designed buJ)d•n& open to the public.

Practice yoga to help develop a body full of health and vigor, and a mind that is sharp; sharp, sharp, but quiet when necessary." Yogi Ram is a testament of whu he preaches. He is; an active. vigorous. healthy, happy man - who incidentally is 12-years-old. A native of India and a retired deputy-superintendent of police. he has practiced yoga for 50 years, and a1 an age when many peof>le are physically infirm. he has the Oexibility of a baby, the energy of a hoy. He has exceeded the average life span of hos countrymen by about 20 years. Ho can bend his body into posl'llros that most college students would find torturous tf not downright impossible, and has such complete control of his abdominal muscles that ho is able to extend his stomach to the right or the left, or to ..churn., it from side to s;ide. These stomach lifts, he says. massage the digestive tract to make it function more efrlcient.ly and to remove impurities that collect there and lead to disease, but learning the technique ...takes time · and determina-tion. "Other p<>Jtures, Yogi Ram says, are Simpler, "but vory effective." V oga is good for the body, the mind and the spirit. It tones the mukles •nd sharpens the intellect. It is more than just a series of postures that limber and stretch tho body. Yoga is a holistic approach to a better life, he says. "Things tate the shape that tho generation gives it.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Arts and Sciences pre-major advising program new Arts and ~oes premajor advising program is n<>w underway, saiil Josie Capuana. acting assistant dean of Undergraduate Academic Se.rvices. The new program will not replace. but will enhance the current general Univrrily ad•~sement program. she.explain<d. A pilot project. tbe new program will run this fall a:nd spring, Capuano said . It will use faculty, rather than professional staff. as advisors. "We see it as a bridge between general University advisement and deJl!lnmental ' advisement," sbt said. The office is locat<d in 106 Norton. Advisement will be offer<d on 11 drop-in basis. but it is preferred thai students make an appointment with the recepllonig~ 10 Norton. Or, students may call 636-24 . The ew program is a joint effort of raduate Academic_.Services (formerly known as DUE) • .the Faculties of Arts and Sciences. It came out of discussions concerning UB's a ttrition prob- lem that were held between Richard Jarvis, associate dean of Social Sciences, Barbara Howe. associate dean of Social Sciences; and' Capuana. . .

During general advisement, the professional staff can give information on major requirements. tell students bow to 1 sequence courses, and iive suggestions to undecided students on possible majors.. There is so much available to students it can be mind-boggling, Capuana sai8. There are joint majors, double majors, major may say he or sbe wants 10 work with people, but not in health care, Cap\Jana said. The professional staff advisor may eliminate Health Related Prof..siom and steer tbe student toward Social Sciences. A faculty advisor might then discuss the different aspectS and nuances of that field with tbe student. Or, someone who ba decid<d to be a math major may wish to talk 10 a facult)' advisor about which of the different tracks offer<d in that·depanmenfwould suit the student best. Then lbe stUdent could meet with a prof~sional staff8dvisor and d&:uss requir<d COW'SeS. Some stuilents may be doing poorJy or feel in limbo bec;ause they've been dropped by a department. Faculty ad~;­ sors can counsel tbese students on other options in the Univrrsity so l.bey don't feel their only choice is to transfer, Captiana said .

"U nder my ad ministration, there wool be a dramatic change" in FNSM, he said. wo of George's primary goals arc to work on undergraduate advisement and to increase spo nsored scientific T research actiYlty in hi faculty. "One of the changes I'm conctroed about i to increase awarcnes of undergraduate education," George wd. "I'd like to increase the exa:lleoce of teaching and advisement of undergraduates."

"The potential is here, but the visibihty is not as high as it should be."

Hatchell and Rube were arno the panicipants in e\llOnts sponsored ntl by the Buffa~{) Museum of Scial<:e to coincide with the aonual exhibit of its boomerang collection. Hatchett gave a workshop that coveml the d~ign , construction and testthrowini of boomerangs. A ~ oomerang' competition was also held. He also exhibited his technique at a throwing demonstration.

People who l~row boomerangs, or "boomerangcrs." are "not as flaky as some of the frisbee types," he added. He noted that frisbees are uniform disks mass-produced by a company, but most boomerangcrs make (heir own. " Boomerangs can be e\llOry single possible shape imaginable." Ruhe noted. • A person ~s imagination can rur. berserk." Boomerangs used in competition can have just two .. wings," taking the simple bent shape people are most familiar witiL But they can have three, four, five or more wings. • The wings act as aiTfoils; they're like the wings of an air(>lane, Hatchett explained. The basic pnnciple that governs boomerangs is gyroscopk; action, such as that of a gyroscope or a spinning top. The speed oft he spin,Jorward thrust and changing of air pressure. co r¥ined, with the air foiJs and gyroscopic action~ make the boomerang go forward and come back. • Many boomerangs are made of wood or plastic, but Hatchell is experimenting with metal "It's a field that intrigues me because I'm a metal sculptor," he said. At the throwing demonstrataon. many of the boomerangs had a solid coat of neon orange paint, making the!ll__easy to spot. But they come in all colo~ and many are decorated with stripes and innovative designs. Some people purchase the fancier ones as an pieces rathtr than as sportS equipment. .. Function is by far the most imponant - the w~y you throw it and catch." Hatchett argued . "Aesthetics are secondary. " Boomerangs combine art and sport, explained Ruhf as he dashed aroup.d the 17, No.1 museum fteld, leaping to catcb his boomerang.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The case was originally brought to the court by Barbara · Nadrowski, M FCSA director of academic affai rs, and Barbara Kaczmarek, M FCSA director of in!emal affairs, in opposition to President Chuk Mmegwa's interpretation of an MFCSA constitutional amendment.

The l"'!O SWJ justices who heard the case ruled Mmegwa's i nt~rpretation incorrect, thus affmning the voting rights of . Kaczmarek and Nadrowski. "The problem is that the wording of their (MFCSA's) co nstitutio n is wea k and has to be inte rpreted ," Lo reryzett i noted . . An M FCSA internal conflict concerning who is entitled to be a voting member of its executive committee has left all decisions made by that body since the elections last April in question.

PARCEL B y UBF Corj}oration planS shopping mall ·on Amherst Campus "~~ T By t HRIS VIDAL he Unive rsity·at Buffalo Foundation Corp. has unveiled plans to build on the Amherst ·:. { ~... Campus a mini-mall designed to meet the needs of students, faculty, staff and nearby residents. The plan, pr_oposed by Dl Des_ign and Development of Baltimore, Maryland, will be located on the 13.3 acre plot of land known as Parcel B, overlooking Lake LaSalle and adjacent to the John James Audubon Parkway. Follell's Unive rsity Bookstore, which presently occupies 20,000 square feet of the site, will serve as an anchor for t~>,e mini-mall. The main objective~e development. according to UBF Corp. President ~oh~. Caner Jr .. is 10 provide a range of shopping opportunities for people who work at. live on and visit the Amherst Campus. "Foll~tt's University Bookstore is trying to fill this major void, (but) one organization can't be everything to everybody ... he said. "And Folletl'scertainly is doing its best. The bookstore is respondi ng to the needs ot students to the best of its ability... Obviously, though , there are limitations, Caner sa id . For example. a bookstore cannot fill a prescription . "We've got to make the mall sensitive to the market." he said. Of the 10 developers origi nally app roached. five submi lled by the mid-July deadline preliminary paperwork indicating they will compete for the contract to develop the Parcel B mini-mall. The dead line for the · final pro posals is August 16, and a decision on who will develop the land is expected by October I.

The second annual Faculty Development Workshop will be conducted by Dr. Claude E. Welch, professor of political science, and Dr. Frank T . Schimpfhauser, assistant dean, School of Medicine, who co--chaired the Faculty Senate Comminee on Teaching Quality which initiated the program. "'The workshop was begun (last year) because of a sense that we have a fair number of new facult y each year who have primarily research backgrounds,.. said Welch. "'We are helping them _develop hands-on skills in teaching, testing and research." Topics to be covered in the four-<lay workshop in Baldy Hall include: student and University expectatio ns of faculty. components of effecl ive teaching, assessments of teach ing and student performance. and faculty services that are available through the University. Two half-<lay sessions also have been sched uled in the fall to disc uss faculty research and requirements. Participants wiil have an opportunity to present a condensed version of the ir opening class plan during the workshop's small group sessions, which also will be used for mini~seminars on topics such as writing good test items and evaluating the results of testing, writing and grading good essay questions, and assessing stu· dents in clinocal settings. Speakers and group leaders are "distinguished members of the University community," said Welch, and were chosen to participate in the program on the basis of the quality of their teach ing skills and availability. . _ About 50 faculty members who have been' hired by the University since January 1985, areexpected IO participate in the Faculty Development Workshop, . which ;s sopported by a $30,000 grant I from the United University Professions (UUP) Commiuee on Professio nal Development and the Quality of Working Life, Office of the President and Office of the Provost.

Immunization could prevent liver cancer, lecturer says By MARY BETH SPINA rimary cancer of the liver could be vinually eradicated by early and widespread immunization against the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) which research has linked to development of the malignancy. says Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg, M.D., Ph.D ., associate director for clinical research at Philadelphia"s Fox Chase Cancer Center. Blumberg. who delivered the 15th Ann·ual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lec- -'ture in the s pring at UB's Center for Tomorrow. first identified H BV as the agent of Hepatitis Band . with colleagues, subsiquently developed an effective vaccine against · the infectious agent. The agents wh ich cause Hepatitis A and Hepatitis · on "A/ Non B have not yet been identified. Since a persist en t, chronic H BV infeclion appears necessary for developm ent of primary capcer of the li ver, those who expedence an acute bout of Hepati_tis B and recover do no t have increased risk for · the cancer. While primary cancer of the liver is r-elatively rare in the U.S .. h is more widespread in other parts of the world, notably Taiwan, mainland China and pans of Africa. in Taiwan, for instance, it 1s the second most _common cause of · death in "men. P · "'There is a high prevalence of carriers of HBV in areas where primary liver cancer is common," says Blumberg. Further evidence shows the surface antigen is found in the cancer as. well as its surrounding cells: While not every person who is identified as an HBV carrier will develop primary cancer of the liver. the odds are 40 per cent or higher in carriers among cenai,!l populations _studied. While males are more likely than females to be H BV carriers and develop the disease ... it is important that children born to mothers identified as ca rriers be p.rotect~d from the virus immediately after binh with the H BV vacci ne which is now being manufactured around the world," Blumberg told th e aud ie nce. As more countries begin producing the vaccine. its cost will dec rease, he .adds. Vaccine production is underway in mai nland China. fo r instance', where primary liver cancer is more prevalent. and all newborns now rece ive the vacci ne. Inthe U.S., those who appear most at risk fo r developing Hepatitis B infections are those in the health field. such as nurses. ·physicia ns and dentists. who contract it through handling blood and other body Ouids of patients. Also at risk are drug abu sers Who share common needles. Unfonunately. many of those in these high-risk categories have not availed themselves oft he vaccine, says Blumberg. Preceding Blumberg's lecture, Felix Milgrom, M.D., chairman of the UB Department of Microbiology, presented the annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Award s for Proficiency in Microbiology to medical student _DavidS.

Students learn in their creekbank of a classroom By JILL-MARIE AND IA ' w elcome to Anthropology 338, where the classroom is a creekbank and you really have . to dig · to learn so meth ing. Here along the banks of Tonawanda Creek in Pe mbroke from May 28 to July 5, eight graduate and UQdergraduate st u· dents from a variety of majors gathered for a thance to uncover some of Western New York's history and gain. hands-on experience in archaeology. The course, A\f haeology Field Researc h, ls an annu ummer offering of the Anthropology artment that has been responsible for se raJ =ava. tions in Western New York. The Pembrol>s- site was selected by instructors Margaret Nelson. She had several areas to select from while determining the location-of this year's "classroom" but cl!ose the creekside for several rtasonS. . The first was the apparent abundance of material located there. "The whole area is full of artifacts," Nelson noted. "'There arc even some on the surface." Another factor that drew her to the site involves the dynamics of t he area,. which has been disturbed by man and nature. .. The site is in the creek's flood plain there is constant overwashing and flooding in the spring - and people have walked here, .. Nelson said ... It giVes even more importapce to the work we do here since the site may be gone in a few years. •• he class began work in the area by tak ing 140 .. shovel tests.·· a series of small , foot-deep holes that are dug and the content of th e exhu med soil examined. "For each (shovel test) we examined the conten t and density of artifacts ... Areas were grouped together by what was found and we came up with six categories." Nelson explained . With these six categories in mind, class members broke off into pairs and began excavating ••units ... These approximately five-foot sq uare areas were each chosen to represent a different category. Determining the method for proceeding with the excavation of each unit is pan of the educational expe rience. "There's no one set way to proceed ," elso n noted. Despite obstacles of roots and stones. eac h unit was excava ted to a de pth of a foot or more. The stud ents mapped the locati on of th ei r units and the co ntours of the land . "Each pair is res ponsible fo r taking notes on what they find a nd mapping their square,., elson said. Work on a unit was o nly co mpleted when roots got too large or no artifacts T were discovered at the deeper levels. Each group was able to complete at least two units during the.time period of the course. he amateur a.rchaeologists also worked at mapping the entire site using a surveyor's instrument. .. The surveyor's instrument is a technical tool that takes time to teach the students how to use ... Nelson said . "'The course offers the opportunity for each one to take a turn and stay with it until they feel that they can use lhe equipment with a cenain degree of skill." More than 1,000 anifacts were found in this first excavation of the area. Each day's discoveries were brought to UB's an thropology laboratory. where they were washed and described in detail. After this stage. they were c urated in th e ~hropology Museum . Nelson explained. Based on the findings. Nelson da tes the Pembroke site as 1000-2500 B.C. She ex plai ned that the method used during different periods of history to form arrowheads and other pointed instruments ,sives them a uniqu e shape. This makes tt possible to approx_imate the age of the site based on the shape of the points found there. Many of the anifacts found are nakes - pieces of stone that have been c~ipped away fro m a large r stone during a toolmak ing process. Also among the artifacts arc many utilized nakes." " Prehistorically. often they would hit a rock and use the flake as a tool to slice or . scrape," Nelson said. " It is still considered a flake beca use it hasn't been shaped." Unifaccs. stones shaPed o n o ne face, and points arc also amo ng th e fi nd s. T light-colored soil. A. few bits of charred wood fo und within the darker eanh confirmeCJ the fact that it was used as a hean h. The other"featu re"fou nd was the trace Qf a hole which once supp oned a beam or pole for an undetermined purpose. Based on these findings , Nelson has concluded that t~e area was used prehistorically as a site for hunting, fishing. and tool making. "'They could come down here. where there is a limest one so urce, fashion their tools and then fish or wait for the deer to •come down from the woods to ge t water.·· \she said . . She poi nted out that the area is still rich in the resou rces that must have attracted prehistoric man. It f<ills a long the Onondaga Escarpment. a huge ridge of limestone which ex tends from Buffalo he group also d iscovered two "features: .. remnants of the past th at are T immobile . One un it co nta ined the remains of a hearth , a semi~i rcular area of dark soil surrounded by the natural eas tward toward Le Roy. Embedded in this limestone are nodules of che n . "Chen was the stone used for tools because it's easy to n ake a nd shape, .. Nelso n said . • The area a lso has many creeks and a marshy area to att ract waterfowl. Nelson said she is su re that the creeks were loaded with fish for these hunting a nd gathering peoples. elso n hopes to cO nt in ue to bring N summer field course students to the site for at least two more years. TAs Lee Hunt and Kim Banolotta agree that the excavation in Pembroke was an excellen t ex perience for all involved. "This ite is excellent for teaching • techniqu e and finding material." H.un t said. The st ud ents fro m the class a lso agreed that the crcekbank is a good place for .gai ning a very ed ucational ex perience. " It is a great way to decide if this type of thing is for me - I've enjoyed it so far and I think th is is the kind of wo rk I want to d o," said Sue Vi llaco rt a.

Shakespeare's specacula,- and subtle play about revenge and reconciliation, will e staged at 8 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays through ·Aug. I I behind the Rose Ga,-den of Delaware Pa,-k . · The Tempest is the concluding production in the tenth annual season of frC:e ''Shakespeare in DelaWare Park" presented by the UB Department of Theatre and Dance. It will be directed by Peter Clough, formerly with the Royal Shakespeare Company an now with Britain's Guildhall School of usic and Drama. The Tempest is con ·de red Shakespeare's·last play and also o of hinhortest and most finely-crafted orks. It is the story of Prospyo . the banished duke of Milan, whose absorption in books had allowed his scheming brother to seize power in his home city. As The Tempest opens, Prospera is in control of a magical isle, where the play takes place. Serving Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, are the delicate spirit Ariel and Caliban, the monstrous son of the witch Sycorax. By magically raising a tempest, Prospero succeeds in wrecking, on tbe shore of the island, a ship carrying his old enemies, including his brother. A1 first, Prospero is tempted to seek revenge. Eventually he uses magic to effect a match between his beloved daughter and Ferdinand , the son of one of his enemies. T; ecause of its many themes and stirring complexity, The Tempest often elicits awe from audience, actors and directors alike. Yet it must be remembered. says Clough, that The Tempest"is also a very good adventure story. a very good yarn," loaded with opportunities or dramatic conflict. .Though the play is filled with magic, Clough's production will acknowledge he play's factual basis: A series of pamhlets published in 1610 d iscussed the ecmingly miraculous survival in 1609 of shipwrecked pany on its way to Virgiia that escaped to an uninhabited island n the Bermudas. An original recorded core by Ray Leslee will convey the magic nd lush so unds of Shakespeare's island, here individuals from the .. sophistiated world of coun society" suddenly md themselves "in th e most obscure: natraJ surroundings," said Clough. Adds the Britis h directo r: "The themes f the play are common to much ofShakepeare's writing: power struggle, usurped uthority, revenge, violence a nd mad- B ness. But, like the other late plays, it is also about reconciliation. 17re Tempest concerns parents and children, ume, journeys to ~the . sea, loss and recovery. Ultimately, the play deals with nature and art, magic. ritual and the theater itself. It is a leave-taking, both by Prospero and Shakespeare." Directing his firSt open:.air production, Clough said he befieves "the audience in Buffalo is more like the audience Shakespeare would have been used to, than we are used to in the modem theater. In Delaware Park, we're doing the play in circumstances so much more like the context Shakespeare intended his plays to be· performed in_" Like Shakespeare . Clough said he must rel y on the reso urces of his actors rather than on technical stage wizardry to conveY the fantastic events in the play, ils when an entire banquet disappears in the third act. he stage designed by Gvozden M. Kopani is marvelously well-suited to T The Tempest. says Clough. "It conveys the formalit y of an Elizabethan theater. It also resembles both a ship and a village dwelling in a tropi cal rain fo rest. •• Playing the magical Prospero is Saul Elkin.

On display will be works in film , video, photography, creative sound, computer arts and holography - the products or programs offered by the New York State Summer Schopl of the Media Arts, held annually here at UB. Holography is a new program of the school, begun this year be use or the interest of one student, Pamel Wenck of Beaver Dams, New York. "She (Wenck) may be the first igh school woman to pursue holograph ·n her curTiculum, as there are very re opport un ities," nllled·..Or. Gerald O'Grady, artistic director. Over the course oft he s ummer, Wenck has received expert advice from R. Scott Lloyd, director of the Educational Services Department at the Museum of Holography in New York City. Lloyd, author of Introduction to Holography for the Classroom, was responsible for incorporating the holography program into the summer school. Holography, the most sophisticated form of 3-0 imaging known to man and the only imagin~ techni9ue to earn a Nobel ·Prize, is m its .. p1oneer stage, n according to Lloyd. A hologram is a reco rd o f all the reflected light from an object bathed in laser light. Tbe laser light used in mak ing a hologram of an object creates a situation where all the views of an o bject are recorded, Lloyd ex plained . .. The hologram turns int o a window that ¥C~ u look through," Lloyd noted . For her work with th is imaging technique, Wenck built a ..vibration isolation table." Constructed from layers of brick. steel, carpeting, plywood and motorcycle tire tubes, this unique table is designed to · keep any vibrations from Lhe surroundings away from the table surface where the optics used for creating the hologram are placed.

Dr. David WiUbero, 40, a us· faculty inember in the English Depanment , also will be taking pan in the games.

I'm in better shape and I th ink I can do better," said Slade. . · T he UB runner said he has been training vigo rously fo r the games since the beginning of May. His training has co~~; sisted of distance work. run.ning eight to 10 miles four days a week , and s ~eed work, consisting of quan.er-mile sp n fi tS, during the rest of the week . Slade said he feels he's ready for the cOmpetition alfd has a definite strategy in ~ mind. "Last year I sat in the back of th e pack too long a nd) could n't catch up to tHe front runners because they were too far in the front. This year I will concentrate on being in the middle of the pack and within striking d istance of the leaders. I've lc;a rned from my experience last year.·· -s'aid Slade. Ho lding the games a t UB only increases his desire to win , he said. "I "want to do the best as I can for myself, my parents, and for UB, considering that we're compe ting at U Band I am a UB student." He said he would like to even tu ally get involved with collegiate spons afte r graduation and p lans on doing graduate work in exerciSe physiology. T or UB wrestler Shawn Kelly participating in the games is the direct progression of a project he started at age 15. " I started wrestling at Sweet Ho me High School when I was a freshm an. I can see the progress that 1\•e made and that's a really sa tisfying feeling," said Kelly. He said he is determ ined to do well in the games competi tion. "Anytime I go into so mething like this I go to win. You've got to go into it with a positiVe attitude." Kelly will .compete in the 180-pou nd Greco-Roman Open category although his natural weight class is 167 pounds. The higher weight class, he said , won't be a problem. · · · "At 180 pounds, I have to concentrate on. my qUick aggressiveness a nd techniques to compensate fo r the lack of strength, because I've been 180 pounds for only a little over a mont h now," he . said . "The competition is going tQ be big and that .II)eans I have ro be aggressive and not hold back . l'm going to tire them oiit so they WJestle my style." Hosting the games at UB is an added incentive; Kell y said. "Given the fact the games will be held at UB will give me that little ~o methingextra in myeffon . I reall y hal'e to do well."

L �August 1985 Summer No. 3 he Society of the Sigma Xi, a profe-ssional research society, chose a topic for its spring banqhet that you could really sink your teeth into - cannibalism. W. Arcos, a professor of anthropology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, spoke in U B's' Center for Tomorrow about his book, The Man- . T eating My th. · In the book, ·Arens dismisses the )llidespread notion that cannibalism is practiced routinely by some societies ~ little more than ethnocentric slander. Even surviv~ ~nni~alism, where pe?ple eat dead h ans tn order to avmd starvation, is rare, e said. ~ In all parts of the o rld , w.ost people will starve rathe r than t huma n flesh," he said ... The baseli ne of ulture is to not ·eat human ·llesh." Cannibalism is a neat label given to societies that other people feel lack a culture or are suO-human, he ·indicated. .Arens gave an exa mple set in the 16th century Caribbean involving Christopher Columbus and an indigenous people called the Caribs. Through a Spantsh mispronunciation of their name, we our word ..cannibal." • Columbus got his "info rm ation the Caribs were man-eaters neighboring group. the who told him so. Pfivately. Columbus dismissed idea as the notion of a silly group people. Arens said. But publicly, explorer played it up. Columbus had been loo king for riches which he didn ,t find . Arens said, but saw the possibility of gaining wealth by usi ng slaves for agriculture and mining. The idea that the people were man-eaters and that a man-eater was something less than human played well in to this plan. A royal decree was issued that said that the Caribs (o r Cannibals, as the Spanish called them) could be enslaved . Other natives, like the Arawaks. could be convened to Christiani ty. "The expected sc rambl e for the profi t to be made in human bondage followed immediately,•· Arens writes in his book. "Islands once thought to be inhabited by Arawak upon closer inves tigation turned out in reality to be overrun by hostil e cannibals. Slowly but surely greater areas were recognized as Carib a nd thei r enslavement legalized." ..There's no evidence that the people whose. name we use for man-eating had anyth ing to do with it," Arens said . hen there's the case of the Aztecs. Two Spanish .friars, who despised Aztec cuhure and were writing 50 years after the conquest by the SPaniards. gave · us the primary source for tal~s of Az.tec ca nn ibalism, he said. Nei th er friar witnessed ca nnibali m. nor were th ey th ere during the period when it was supposed to have happened. the anthropologist added. ''The basic assumption of-missio naries is that the culture they encounter is inferior to the culture they bring," Are ns said. .. What 's curious is that if two cultures meet, and one-is supposed to be canni bal and the other peace-loving, the cannibals disappear. "Where are the Caribs? Where are the Aztecs? Where is Spa_in? "Where is Christianity? Where is the Aztec religion?" . The notion of cannThalism is always some how intertwined with the established institutions. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the idea was intertwined with T - the est~btished religion, Christianity, he said. The established religion 'of the 20th cc:nt.ucy - science :-- is the institution that has resurrected the idea of eannibal·ism, he saict: Science should be objective, but its practioners have not been, A~ens charges. He gave the exa mple of t he Fore (pronounced for-ray) in the highlands of New Guinea. (It's most myste ri ous how canniba ls get farth er away in time and space, he noted). A fat a l d ise~ffered by the Fore was supposedly transrrutted by canni balism. D . Carleton Gajdusek, an M.D., ("not 'Father' nOw, but ' Doer or'"), received a :-·~~ .• J=-~ *\~T. -.. . ~ ! Nobel Pri ze for his research on · the disease. When Arens began researching his book, he was told by colleagues th at "cannibalism in the highlands of New Guinea is.a proven scientific fact because it was reported by an M.D .. so you ean betieve it," he said. Arens learned from the enormous amount of information availa ble on the· di sease, called kuru , that it was found to btc} used by a slow virus. Yet, after readg the reports of the Nobe l laureate, ~A rens could never find a conclusion that th e di sease iS lransmiu-ed thr ough Cannibalism. "·Yet in every sing!~ article, he said he worked with cannibalS,,. Arens said. Text from an article by Gajdusek said th at children participated in the butchery and handling of human fl~sh . It also described the unhygenic practices of th e people. Two photos were included with the article: the top shows a woman who died of kuru. The bottom shows people eating. . The text a~d photos are transmitting two ideas at once, Arens Contended; that one, kuru is transmitted througl]. cannibalism? and two, that kuru is transmitted by not washjng, then touching the eyes, n o~ and other parts of the body. He dashed off a letter to Gajduse k asking if the people in the bottom picture were eating the woman in the top. " It. seems a reasonable assumpti on," Arens said , showing the juxtapos1tion of t he photos-to his audience. "I -also concluded that he'd photographed cannibalism and had been there and seen it." B ut tha t's not th e case. Arens said he received a perso nal lette r from Gaj- . du sek saying th a t he was so rry if Arens o r other read ers were misled, but th e people in..the bottom photo were eating pork . Gajdusek wrote th at he had no photos of ca nni ba lism because it rare ly if ever took place, Arens said . . Arens added th at laboratory chimpanzees wh o had bee n fed infec ted flesh for years d id not co ntract kuru . They did . howeve r? co ntract it through direcl in noculation .. .. It see-ms the only way yo u cannot get kuru is by eating it," _Arens saiq. " If you sho uld co me across a slow virus. do not put yo ur finger in yo ur nose, your eyes. your ears Or in a n open cut, but immediately swallow it (th e vi rus)," he said to the a museme nt of his audience. Gajd.use k is an honest and nice m3.n who "actually admitted that he had the public," Arens said . " He it because he was a charlatan, he fi rmly believes these were cannibals. It's part a nd parcel way we're bro ug ht up. It works its way into o u.r vision of the world ." We tend to view people as cannibals " until th ey receive the blessings of the Western world," he said. " We should not be debating the issue of why orne people are cannibals, bu t why so many people, including anthropologists and scientists, think other people are goi ng to eat the m." Part of the reason is that o ur society and others are attracted 10 the notion of the society that breaks all the rules, he said . We have no meaningful existence without a society that breaks ou r basic rules. · Et hnocen t rism is another reason for the cannibal stories. "An an t hropologist is a representative of the civilized world who presents acco unts oft he uncivilized world." Arens said . .. That's hot a textbook definition, b'ut th a t's what happens." The anthropologist acts to reinforce the difference.. between civilized a!t$f savage behavior . · .. It ti.,. a perversion of our own mandate," !he anthropologist said . " Instead of being equal, we look on the rest of the wo rld as o ur cultural inferiors.,. This assertion has split anthropol ogists, but there has b6Cft some positive reaction. Some aptllropologists say th at ' ca nnibalism is overreperted and it is not ou r job to feed the myth, Arens said. • See Cannlball•m, page 10 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

SUNY will be able to reallocate funds among campuses as circumstances require, and campus presidents will have much greater flexibility to move funds within their campuses, said Dr. Clifton R. Wharton Jr., SUNY chancellor. "This will permit much f ster responses, as well as more efficient of funds," Wharton said. . Provost William Greiner noted that the legislation puts the governor, legisla·ture and Division of Budget (DOB) in the role of appropriating money, tb~ performing an annual review at budget time. It's more of a post-audit, rather than preaudit, system. The trustees, chancellor and campus presidents and siaffs ·will have more authority to execute the budget, he said. "There will be a lot less secondguessing durin~ the course of the year by external agenCies," Greiner noted. ·The legislation significantly reduces the number of approvals that have to be obtained from the DOB for financial and personnel matters, said William H. Baumer, assistant vice president and controller. "It expands purchasing flexibility and should make it possible to run the University mo.re effectively," Baumer noted. Under the new system, which is to go into effect in April, 1986, the DOB sets the initial allocations for the flScal year, - be explained. All subsequent modifications arc Staote.lUniversity actions, meaning they neeo approval from SUNY Central. For example, rnpst personnel actions will require only SUNY Central approval; not approval from the DOB or Civil Service, Baumer said. However, that doesn' lake away any rights from classified elnplllyees. "There are no changes whatever in the protections that people in the classified A · Flexibility · New legislation promises to give more -control over purchasing, personnel to campuses service enjoy," be emphasized . here will be more purchasing authority at the campus level, Baumer explamed. Under the new system, most items costing up to $20,000 can be purchased without approval from anyone outside the campus. This is an· increase from a limit of about $10,000. Each campus can now request bids, evaluate bids and write purchase orders itself. Exceptions to the $20,000 limit without outside approval are petty cash, printing and computers. The limit for petty cash has been raised to $250 from $100. The limit on printing has been raised to $5,000, up from $2,500. The longstanding limit of $25,000 for computers remains unchanged, he said. The oP.,ration of the departments remains unchanged, Baumer noted . Departments still will have to fill out the same forms and get the same approvals. However, the legislation dc;creases the number of approvals the business offices must ot>tain. "It will permit the business offices to be more responsive to the academic departments," be said. According to Baumer, the legislarion also: • Changes terms of SUNY trustees to 7 years from 10 years. It also changes the terms of UB Council members to 7 years from 9 years. • Restates the University's mission in more detail. • Prohibits charging tuition based on income level, as had been suggested. • Prohibits changing the amount charged for tuition before the State budget is adopted l;te legislature. • Sets the salary scales fort he diff~rent grades of professiOnal staff and faculty. subject to union con(ract negotiations. he new legislation is lauded by UB officials for the benefits it will bring T to this institution. "As the largest, most comprehensive campus w!thin the State UniverSity, UB will especially benefit from the management flexibility legislation;" said UB President Steven Sample. "The legislation represents a milestone in the history of State U.niversity and will help rec!ify the overregulation that has hampered the system since its inception." It doesn't make SUNY a public benefit corporation, but it's a g~od comproffi.lse between that and the present system. - PROVOST GREINER This overreJ!ulation was discussed in the report of the Independent .Commission on the F·u tureofthe State Universi ty that was released in January. "The legislation responds to the principal theme of the Commission's report and the new flexibility it creates will allow the system and its campuses to respond to the other major recommendaJions," Sample said, "particularly those which encouraged an improved role in gradua~e education, research and economic development. " _, The report had recom!Dended restructuring SUNY as a public benefit corporation, rather tharr allow it to remain a st3te agency, in an effort to rid it of overregulation. ..This legislation is not in any way the full agenda recommended by the commission, but it's a very imponant step in that direction," Greiner said. He noted that it is a step welcomed by the administrative officers at UB as well as at other SUNY campuses. ·The legislationis a good compromise between the more far-reaching recommendations of the commission and the recent system." he said. Chancellor Wharton called the new legislation ~·a very heartening response to problems that have seriously hampered SUNY for many years." When the issue of the public benefit corporation was being discussed, the question arose of whether giving the Univers it y more authority might be nothing more than trading a State bureaucracy fo r a SUNY Central bureaucracy. Before this new legislation was passed, the SUNY Board of Trustees vowed in a resolution to delegate power to the campuses. "... it is the intention of tbe Board of Trustees to decentralize.to the campuses the management nexibility proposed in (the legislative bill) to the maximum extent determined to be consistent with the Trustees· overall responsibility for stewardship·of the University," the resolution stated. Sample gave the chancellor high marks for providing strong leadership in working to implement the recommendations of the Independent Commission. "The governor and the Senate and Assembly leaders, as well as their staffs, also are 19 be congratulated for taking the steps necessary to make SUNY a more efficient and effective system," Sample said . "The Western New York delegation, in particular, was extremely helpful and supportive in the passage of this legisla0 tion." �July 1985 Summer No.2 ·UB won't go 'dry,' ~ays Lorenzetti By CHRIS VIDA!B will face some unique problems as a result of the ne"' State law that raises the drinking age from 19 to 21 effective Dec. I, according to Dr. Anthony F. Lorenzetti, dean of the Division of Student Affairs. Noting that "We certainly will comply to the letter of the law and m8.ke tvery effort to continue to encourage resl'onsible ust of alcohol," Lorenzetti swd· the University will face difficulties that are · different from those experienced by other segments of ociety because "there are so . many people 1 .a _c oncentraled area that · will be affected. . Because the n aw is going to apply to the majorit of dergraduate students, the University "is oing t<o.bave to work harder to provide . on-alcoholic activities, " without bannin drinking on campus altogemer, be said. "When we talk about 21, we're talking about the undergraduate pol'ulation, "be said. "We could ban alcohol m the dorms, · but that would be negative for the older students and the gradl!&te students." Alcoholliu been legal on the UB campuses for in ore than 20 yean, and in that time, Lorenzetti said, the University has not experie~ anr el'~raordinary p~ob­ lems assoctated With tts consumpllon. The new drinking age, howe>:er, could present the University with a different series of problems. "There is no law against drinlcing," Lorenzetti said. "The law is against serving and selling. (Students under age 21) can go to Canada and buy alcohol, which some of tbi:m probably will do." While the new law is expected to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities asSociated with young people who drink and drive, the measure also could U open .up different types of problems, becaust instead of drinking in what Lorenzetti called the "public domain,"students will be drinking privately. "I am concerned that the drinking problem will go more underground, and our own intervention devices won'\ work as well," he said. "The new law could be accentuating the negative aspects." now makes it even more diffocult to intervene at an appropriate time." He explained that because most substance abust referrals come from friends of students with drinking or drug problems, peers may be less inclined to voice their concerns regarding a problem drinker who is under age 21 . "In the zeal for dealing with the prob- . Iem, you create another," Lorenzetti said. "We simply don' have students here long enough to intervene appropriately." be u"niversity is t~gto prevent this problem by provtding special training for resident advisors (RAs) to alert T them to the potential problems the new · king a$" may present. The State also organiztng a program, "Goals and Objectives for Colleges and Universities for the Year 1985-86" through the New York State Division of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abust. While some colleges and universities probably will prohibit alcohol on their campuses after the change in the drinking age, UB has no plans at this time to become "dry," Lorenzetti said. "A lot of people use alcohol very responsibly," he said. "Some institutions are going to go dry and will have problems with that because for some students it is part of their cultural pattern." Changes will have to be made in University policies and programs that deal with alcohol consumption, including activities that range from departmental p~ies to outdoor concerts at Baird Pomt. "The Pub, for example, will have to re-<:valuate its policies," Lorenzetti said. lS "This ,also could be the demist of Springfest, Fallfest and other alcoholrelated activities." While the new law will require more careful proofmg at functions where alcohol is served, it will not, however,lead to banning alcohol on the campus at tbis point. "I can' see the University going dry," Lorenzetti said. "A dry campus would have to be a more gradual, well thoughtout change than can be made in a short time. The University also does not plan to segregate residence halls by age and make alcohollegal only for students age 21 and over. "There is no gray area here. We either go all the way or not at all," he noted. UB's Alcohol Review Board will meet this month to discuss how the new law will affect University policy regarding" alcohol on campus.

The day camp will be offered on both campuses from July 15 to August 2. During the same three-week period. a Computer Arts Daycamp, a program of the Center for the past two years, will also be offe•ed. Both day camps will meet Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m .-12:30 p.m. All equipment and supplies are mcluded in the S159 fee for 45 hours of instruction. The Media Arts Daycamp is composed of four workshops that will expose stu. dents to subjects that are noi taught in traditional schools, noted Dr. Gerald O'Grady, director of the Center for Media Study. He added that the workshops parallel the subjects offered each year when the Center hosts the New York State Summer School for the Media Arts, a program for talented 15- to 18-year-old students from throughout New York State. "We decided to offer students the opportunity to get a sense of these fields early on," O'Grady said. . . O'Grady noted thai the topics covered in the workshops are becoming important aspects of American life. "The combination of technology and T .Iffi®l_P)®Iflr®IT ___ ..,__. the arts happens more and more as the media become an increasingly im ponant part of our culture," he said . According 19 the US Information Agency, the number of film and !elevision productions first exceeded the number of print.ed materials in 1976. O'Grady points to this as a trend that is likely to continue, with the use of film and videotape increasing at a far greater pace than the use of print media. The workshops can provide the first steps in becoming "me<hate" in the sense that earlier Amer¥::-ans were literate, according to O'Grady. The students who are "mediate"' will be able to use new technologies to improve o ur culture, and to pursue a variety of careers in New York State which is itself the preeminent "Center for Media Study" in the woold . .

MARLETT Art Director REBECCA BERNSTEIN ~~~~fi"i:~~~ Editor �July 1985 Summer No.2 Grubler Brooklyn student seeks board seat in Town of"Amherst . D By JILL-MARIE ANOIA · ave Grubler, a UB junior majoring in political science, jokes about hanging a huge sign which reads "Campaign Headquarters" on h.is dorm room door in Porter Quad in the fall. W.hether he's serious about the sign or not, Grubler•s room is sure to become the hub of activ.ity during his campaign to become Amherst town councilman. Grubler, SA vice president, will be runnin~ on the Democratic and Liberal tickets m the Amherst town elections this November. Between now antt then he plans to show res' .ents and student voters that "a stude on the (Amherst Town) Board will bring ew ideas and a lot of innovation."' For November's election, ubler will join f<>rces with D~mocrats Frank Wroczynski and Mary Dimock to compete for the seats held by Republican incumbents William Kindel, Lynn Millane and Harold Collier. "In addition to his duties as SA. vice president, Grubler currently serves as chair of the Speaker's Bureau, recreational coordinator for Black Mountain College and president of the Political Science Club. Despite these commitments, he maintains that he has the iime and desire to serve on the board."111 have more time for community work than those with full-time jobs," Grubler said. Grubler cites his political science background as one reason for wanting to become more . involved with serving the Amherst community. "I've taken a lot of courses that will · help me out," he said. Grubler is originally from Brooklyn but considers himself qualified to handle the duties of Amherst councilman. " I've lived here for two years and my work with SA has brought me an aware· ness," Grubler explained. "Politics all over are basically the same." As last year's SA director of student affairs, Grubler was responsible for creating the "We Care" bus program which provides free bus transportation on week~ ends for students traveling to and from popular bars on Hertel and Elmwood avenues. Re was also involved with the final stages of installing a bus shelter on Bailey Avenue across from the Boulevard Mall. Grubler describes himself as "one of the main student leaders on campus"and is ready to use his enthusiasm to "bring life into the community." He decided to run for councilman at the suggestion of forrner SA president Jane McAlevey. After contacting the campus chapter of College Young Democrats of America, he was· able to get an interview with the Democratic party of Amherst. " I had all sons of statistics and plans to present fo them," Grubler recalled ... 1 think sometimes I come off as too much o( an intellectual for the people in this town.. " Grubler's presentation has resulted in endorsements by the Democratic and Liberal parties. He plans to gather the signatures necessary for securing the Independent slot as well. " For the Independent nomination I have to do a lot of legwork to get signa· tures but many students are registered as Independent so I want to do that," Grubler said . . a candidate, Grubler intends to the perspective of the UmA srepresent versity and· students. "The University is good for Amherst both eultuully· -.od· economically," Dare Grubler Grubler explained. "We should have some say in area politics." Grubler cited the relationship between the University and the Getzville Fire Department as an example of working together toward mutual benefit. "The Getzville Fire Department has agreed to protect the Amherst Campus ... A result of that has been a grant which allowed them to buy a new ladder something they never wou ld ha ve received if it weren't for the University," Grubler related. . Grubler makes it clear that his candidacy stems from the desire to promote this type of"good neighbor" relationship. "Students need to let residents know that we're a force irl the community but we're not trying to take over the town," he said. He added that students are a valuable resource that Amherst should seek to retain. " Many people assume "that students come and leave thC area in five years," Grubler noted . "We're not necessarily leaving - Amherst has some things people will stay for." He emphasized this point by adding that Amherst can wdtk successfull y to achieve the same student retention rate experienced by the Boston community. There, 50 per cent of students not originally from the area decide to settle in or near Boston after graduation. Grubler .plans to work for votes within the University and in the community. He is confident in his abilities to sway both sets of voters and maintains that he has a very good chance for being elected in November. · Grubler is confidenc. that his view· points and style will help him gain community support . "My views are moderate," Grubler said. "I don't want to change everything - just be a part of the community." He plans to do an extensive amount of telephone and d oo r-t<Hloor campaign· in g. He will not approach residents as the vice president of t he Student Association who is also running for co uncilman - ''I will go to them as Dave Grubler, candidate." · To rally student support, Grubler p)ans to bold many of the events of the campaign on campus, starting with a push to get all eligible students registered to vote. The registration dri ve will be the first stage in Grubler:'s work to get students intereSted in the election. -·with polling places on campus, students won 't have a reason not to vote," he observed; s the campaign progresses, Grubler will encourage candidates to speak on campus. He also announced plans for "come-and-vote events" but did not dis close the details. Grubler will also recruit campaign A wo.rkers on campus. The more workers th etter, as far as be's concerned . e rkers are the most important asset of a campaign," Grubler said . "They can make or break the election for· me." Grubler said he has limited funds to cover Campaign costs. He expects that having a large number of stud ent helpers will minimize expenses but intends to hold a number of fund-raisers . "I 'm hoping fp r a lot of free publicity sinCe I am a stutlent," he added. One issue Grub ler plans to explore in his campaign is the need for a flood plan in Amherst. With or without federal aid, · a plan must be developed, according to Grubler. • "Something has to be done soon, " he said. "We (Amherst) have to work to solve our own problems'." Grubler indicated that he would seek the help of University resoucces to devise and implement such a plan. He pointed out that although the Amherst campus is in the middle of the flood plain area, it has not experienced any flooding. · "U B is a huge untapped resource that can be used to help Amherst," Grubler noted. Grubler will also address taxes in his campaign. He will tell voters of the nee~ for a councilman who is willing to work with other state.officials in opposition to President Reagan's new tax plan. The plan calls for the elimination of deductions for state and local taxes on the federal tax ·return. · "This area will be hard hit if Reagan's proposal is approved," Gruble~ said . Grubler saad he. is also in favor of the Metro Rail extension into Anlherst. He supports the idea but only on the condition that construction costs be paid by federal transport.etion aid and not by Amherst. tax revenue. . Grubler has many ideas for the fu tun: development of Amherst. He envisio ns the town developing into a technology center~ with UB as its core. "Amherst has great potential and hasn' reached its peak of development," he said. Moderate cost student housing is another item on Grubler's agenda. This would provide another outlet for students and residents to work together, he noted . Grubler is aware of the overwhelming number of Republican politicians that bold 6ffice in Amherst. During the campaign and especially if elected he promIses to ... be a voice to cjuestion things."' 0 ,Dorm voters could lose privilege he A.mherst voting population may be smaller than Town Board candidate Dave Grubler is counting on if a recent ruling by the US Second Circuit Court · of Appeals affects Erie County. If so, the ruling could even affect Grubler's power to vote in his own election. The court ruled that a provision of the election law that allows counties to require extraordinary proofs'Of residency for "transients" is constitutional, thus overturnmg a ruling of a lower court. However, the rufing also held that discrimination in the practice of voter registration is taking place on the county level. Confused? The Board of Elections and the Studeru Association of the State University (SASU) are both deciding how to interpret the decision and what it means fort he future for students who wish to vote in their college towns. . According to an official at the Board of Elections, the ruling may affect new students and those who have moved since registering last year. According to SASU President Jane r;icAievey, the ruling should not affect students in Erie County or any oth_ereounty where students had secured the right to vote prior to the ruling. • ••The assumption is that counties willing to settle out of court prior to having to (settle by court order) are less likely to go back and change their stance," McAievey said. McAlevey is currently working to have the case reheard or clarified . "If a student lives in an area 30 days and pays sales taxes be or she should be able to vote," she said. · McAlevey maintains that countieS cannot simply return to the policy of rejecting all voter registration applicati ons from students. "They can 't say that just because you're a .student you can' vote," she said. "The Board of Electaons must call and investigate each person before they reject their application." T . ccording to Vicki Scott, assistant deputy commissioner of the Erie County Board of Elections, the ruling has th e potential to affect any student who has moved since registering to vote last year or wl)o is new to the area, if a "challenge" is made. This could affect the eligibility of Grubler who will move into a new dorm room this fall. "A challenge comes from ar, outside sou rce like a registered voter or a politiCal constituency,., Scott explained ~ . If a challenge were made, the Board of Elections would have to check each application before approval. "Students may register in the fall ifthey can prove that they have legal residence in the county, "Scott said. The three main method~ of proof that we us~-:tre that it is their legal mailing address, they file their income tax from that address and get the return there, and it is the address on their driver's licenS(." She noted that last ·year all voter registration applications were approved without question but that next fall there could be a challenge from "the citizens in Amherst. .. Scott also explained that Grubler remains eligible to run even if his voter registration applicatio"n is rejec~~d . Howeve r, if elected, he must become a registered voter ;_ before taking the office. . ~ Grubler said he would be"verydisapp_ointed ~' if a challenge were pursued in the fall. The agreement that SA worked out wath· Erie County last year should also allow students to register this fall, he noted. · "If they reject any appliCations we1ltake them to court," Grubler said. He noted. that the voting issue will add to the importance of his candidacy. :_If I win this thin' i! will show that stu~ents should be able t_o vote in their college towns, .. he saad.

Excellence Six receive Chancellor's Awards / B is certainly a large school, but that fact doesn't necessarily make it a good school. It's the people who work here that make UB one ot the finest schools in New York State. .Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. has recognized six individuals from UB for excellence in the performance of their duties·. These individuals are among 55 people Statewide who have received the 1985 Chancellor's Award. Cited for excellence in teaching are Dr. James Brady, associate professor of Philosophy, Dr. Michael Frisch, chair of American Studies and professor of History, and Dr. Joseph C. Mollendorf, professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Honored for excellence in librarianship -are Judith Hopkins technical services research and analysis officer, and Dr. William McPheron, humanities bibliographer. Awarded for excellence in professional service is June Licence, program coordinator of American Studies . . U Teaching The primary criterIOn for the Chancellor·s Awarils for Excellence in Teaching is demonstrated s!UII in teaching, although serious consideration is aJso given to sound scholarship and service to the University. Nominations were gener· ated by st udents, faculty and administrato,n nd backed by a support file created by a. selection committee on campus. All nominations were reviewed by President Sample and forwarded to a Chancellor's Advisory committee. In his letter of suppo rt for all the teaching award nominees, Sample noted, .. the scree ning commit tee has applied rigorous standards in teaching excellence in selecting ou~ nominees for this prestigious . award. Dr. Joseph Mollendorf The idea to nominate Dr. Joseph Mollendorffor the teaching award came from the students working on an ultralight plane project under hi s supervi sio n. Mollend orf has guided the work on the project si nce April of 1983 when a group of engineering student s approached him with the idea. Mollendorfhas also recveived positive evaluations from the-students in his more traditional classes. ··t teach a heat transfer class that goes very well;· Mollendorf commented . .. 1 ge t so me very favorable comments · from th e students in that class."" tion he worked. at Western Electric Research Center for three years. . "I worked at Bell and Western Electric by plan. I wanted to learn how to be an engineer myself so I could talk from . experience in the classroom," Mollendorf said. Mollendorf's experience in industry has allowed him to tell students how the theories and formulas taught in th e classroom are applied in the workpl acet " I like to teach practical things - show students what elements are used and how, " he added. Dr. James Brady The Philosophy Department has deve loped_i ts own extensive evaluation process which was used to generate nominees for the Chancellor·s .award. Dr. Jam es Brady o utlined an en ti re process of student and administrative evaluation of his work in the classroom as the roots of his no mination.

'Sing-In' to feature Bach Mass I Experienced choral singers who wish to stfetch their vasal chords during the summer doldrums are invited to a "sing -in" of the J.S. Bach masterwork. the Mass tn B Mtnor, at 8 p.m. . Thursday. July 1B. in (the atr-condilioned) Slee Concert Hall. Th~ sing-in. says organtzer Dr. Harne! Simons. associate professor of Music, 1s modeled on successful "sing-ins" held in many cities. The New York (City) Choral Society. for example. annually invites choral music devotees to read through many of the great choral works. AI the University ol Rochester. there a're summer-long sing -ins ol works by composers as different from one another as Brahms and Roy Harris.. The sing -in, Simoo s explains. brings together choral singers who briefly rehearse and read through a masterwork , all in one ev~ning . To add to the enjoyment, Simons t}as engaged four well -known vocal soloists and an orchestra. As a resull. the Mass in 8 Minor, "probably lhe most difficull of the major choral works," will be perlormed in its entirety. ' . Dr. Joseph Wincenc. well -known Buffalo area conductor. has assembled the volunle<;r community orchestra of experienced players, drawn for the most part from the UB Philharmonia, the Amherst Symphony and the Orc hard-· Park Symphony.

Cryns, Ph.D., bas been:al'poinled di~ector; qf the Muludtsctphnary Center for · lhe Study of Aging at the State University at Buffalo. · The center was re<:enlly put under the aegis of the School of Social Work, with hopes that it would contribute to the school's visibility and research potential. Cryns, a professor in the school, who previously served as co.<Jirector of the Western New York Geriatric Education Center at UB, seeks to tum the center into . a leading res~arch institute specializing in the behavioral management of frail and other elders at risk. Since May I Cryns reported that the center has applied for six grants totaling almost $338,000. According to Cryns and Fredrick Seidl, Ph.D., dean of the School of Social Work, the cenler will be evaluated in one year to determine if it has met its proje<:ted short-term goals and if it should continue as a unit of the University. Negotiations are now underway to transfer irn.plementation of the center•s popular CARERS Program to the Western New York Human Services Consortium. The program offers public workshops that aid families in caring for the elderly. If the transfer is completed, however, the center would continue to evaluate the program, which has been used as a model nationwide for heahh care of the A elderly. Gary C. Brice, M.S.W., and Carol A. Nowak, Ph. D., co.<Jirectors of CA"RERS, will retain their positions at the center, both continuing to serve as associate directors. The center's five-year-old Senior Volunteers in the Schools Program, another successful venture directed by Doris B. Hammond, Ph.D. , is now based in the Division of Social Sciences at D'Youville College. Cryns notes that he would like the center to maintain a good mix of research and community service programs, but that the latter would have to be valuable programs which yield precise measures of 1m pact. Because of his association with the Geriatric Edu.cation Center, Cryns anticipates that the two cente rs will be able to work su<XlCSSfully to complement each other S educational and research missions. Ccyns, a member of the UB faculty since 1969, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Nymegen, the Netherlands. He is ·a consulting psychologist who has published extensively in the field of gempsychology with particular emphasis on geriatric health care and social needs assessment. 0 9 Construction of stadium to finish one week ahead of schedule onstructi on of the new track and field stadium is expected to be finished by the end of next week, about one week ahead of !he original targeted completion date of July 26. According to Harbans Grover, director of the Office of Architectural Services at UB, construction of ihe $2. I million stadium is "going very well" and is expected to be wrapped up by July 17 or 18. That will allow the · university adequate time to complete preparations for the Empire State Games, which will be held in Western New York from Aug. 7to I I. Track and field events in the Open and Scholastic divisions will be held in the new facility. Spectator seating for 4,000, constructed in preformed scetions of steel beams with a concrete base and aluminum benches on the south side of the stadium, is about 95 per cent completed, he said, and the \)ase for the facility's artificial turf has been laid out. Remaining work includes applying the final coating of the artificial surface and completing the fences and walkways that will surround the sta'dium. · · The stadium will use -a relatively new synthetic field surface called Omniturf, a sand-filled polypropylene fiber system that . is ~d to provide beuer dr~age C than other artificial turfs and reduce the risk of injury with its cushioning effect. Developed by OmoiSport International of St. Catharines, Ontario,.and Wichita, Kansas, the ~urface requires only periodic brushing for maintenance. The system has been used for several years on soccer fields and tennis co.urts around the world , · but UB's stadium marks only the second installation of the system in this country. In addition to the Omniturf field, the stadium will feature a 400-meter, eightlane "Royal l\thletic. T rack Surface," a combination of rubber and polyethylene dc:Ydpped by Royal Industries Inc., and will include a !()().meter straightaway and a removable insert for the steeplechase water hazard. Areas for track and field jumping and tbrowin~ events will be located outside the stlldium. Site ,l:ontractors of Orchard Park completed $300,000 in site work earlier this year, and, according to Grover, good weat.ber has allowed Sevens'on Contractors of Niagara FaUsto keep construction ahead of, schedule. The current contract includes an irrigation system, electrical system, landscaping and a fence around · the site. Additional landscaping will be completed between the end of the Empire State Games and Dec. 15, the expiration date of~ !"'nlfact. r.>- �~19 July 11185 Summer No. 2 S_hakespeare in Par~ gets historical slant By ANN WHITCHER ayor James Griffin was on band to salute tbe participants as Saul Elkin, founder and artistic director, foodly surveyed the crowd quickly gat he~ on · the hill. The' occasion was opening night for the IG-year-old Shakespeare in Delaware Pl!Ik Festival, proudly sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dana: since The Winter's Tak first graced a tiny park stage in 1976. This year's festival bas a slightly inore traditional slant as Elkin is em phasizing. many of the playing traditions of Elizahc.. than En~and. He bas also engaged two British duectors, both of whom have had a great deal of experience in staging Shakespeare s plays in England. By way of stressing these 16th-<:enlwy playing t~aditions in, Romep and Ju/~t. the openmg prnduct10n, dl ector Evan Parry1Jas asked his players t hat witb the audience before tbe play be · s. The idea is thatthe UB company is toun tbeprovin'ces out of New York, as did Lord Chamberlain-'s Players out of London in the summers before tbe Globe Theatre was built in 1599. From about 1594 onward, Shakespeare was an importan t member oftbe Lord Chamberlain's Company of ·players, later called tbe · King's Men. Parry says the Elizabethan stage was ~ essentially three-dimensional, akin to a 0 pageant or a procession. The modem ~ stage, on the other band, is twodimensional, more like a picture. Also, actors spoke their lines more d irectly to the aud1ence than they do in the present era. · "The Elizabethan stage fo rced the actors to face out on three sides. As a result, they couldn' always face each other when speaking to each other," he M explains. "We're having the characters speak directly to the audience whenever possi- ble. Normally. the approach to a soliloqux)s that the character simply talks out loud , and the audience is privy to that character ... Of cowrse, the Elizabethan theatre was far more declamatory than is the modem theatre. Emphasizes Parry, "The intent is to do the play realistically with no histrionics, in a way that the play is still very accessible to the modern audience. That's extremely important to me. Were we to merely put a museum piece on stage, I think the play would be less approach· able." Outstanding in the UB production of Romeo and Juliet are the Italian Renais· sance costumes designed by Donna Massimo. She has done extensive period research, having looked carefully at reproductions of works by Carpaccio, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci. She also traveled to the Metropolitan -Museum of Art in New York City to view the museum's Italian Renaissance holdings. A recorded score by Composer/ Musical Director Ray Leslee is essentially modern, though it strongly evokes the music of the Renaissance. Stage Designer Gvozden M. Kopani bas fashioned a stage that recallnhe Elizabethan tht!lltre. we/fth Night, the touring production in this year's festival, is being directed by Percy Steven, U B visiting lec- T turer in theatre and pri'n cipallecturer at Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in Sid cup, Kent. In order to bring the touring production to a · wider audience, festival planners hav.c included four Delaware Park performances on this year's touring schedule. Twelfth · Night, an engaging, slightly bittersweet work, is the last of Shakespeare's great comedies. Says Steven: "In the ·play, the very serious and the ludicrous occur simultaneously." Present in the play, he adds, is a sense of the imper·manence of love and the double~gcd quality of human existence. In fact, Steven comments, Twelfth Night CoD· tams ~be-developm;; ~;..m- some-of tbe Tweltth Night, abo•e, Is the touring production In this year's season of Shakespeare In lire Parle: great tragic themes in Shakespeare's later work. "In a sense, Twelfth Night is a bridge from the comedies to the tragedies." Set in the ethereal lll yria . where festi- val, license and _escape prevail, Tw•lfth Night presen ts an intricate series of illusions, often magically tied . to the deft comic touch es of characters like Viola and Feste I he clown. Viola, disguised as a man named Cesario, falls in lOve with Orsino, the Duke of lllytia. He. in turn. has dispatched Cesario to make romantic overtures on his behalf to Olivia, a rich countess in mourning for her lost brother. Viola, too. mourns her lost twin brother, Sebastian, who, in fact, has survived a shipwreck, and will later be mis- taken for Cesari o. Olivia falls in love with Cesario (Viola), and will eventually marry Sebastian thinking he is Cesario! Steven's production stresses the world of 18-a:ntury Italian commedia deii'Arte. the improvisatory thealre I hat nourished throughout Europe from the 16th to th e 18th centuries. Steven has chosen an 18th-<:entu ry brand of the commedia because of the realism and occasional ruthlessness of that era. 1 There is a direct lin e between Twe/flh Night and th e trad ition of commedia deii'Arte, says Steven. "We know that Shakespeare saw the commedia." The touring commedia played before diverse audiences, with no set to speak of. rely- ing instead on the use of gesture to shape the space and costumes to characterize a director at Britain's Guildhall School of Mu~ic & Drama and a former director with Britain's famed Royal Shakespeare Company. As an actor. Clough appeared with the RSC in II productions in Stratford. Newcastle and London. and also with ·several other Briti s h theatre companies. The Tempest represents Clou~h's first direction of a play in the qpen atr. He is .. quite excited .. by the opportunit y. commenting: "the audience in Buffalo is more lik e the audience Shakespeare would ha ve been used to , than we arc used 10 in the (modern day) 1heatre. It has to be said that were doing the play in circumstances so much more like th e con- texl Shakespeare intended his plays to be performed in." nre Tempes1 is Shakespeare's most finely crafted play. and i1s many themes of reconciliation . revenge, and purification. to name only three. often elicit awe from audience. actors and direclOrs alike. Yet it must be remembered , says Clough. that The Tempes1 is also ··a very good adventure story. a very good yarn." . loaded with opportunities for dramat ic connict. Because Th e Tempes1 was only in the early rehearsal stages at the time of this writing. it remains to be seen what themes will predominate in Clough's production. Perhaps no one theme can hold firm dramatic sway. As Mark Van Doren once wrote: "The trouble is that the meanings arc not self-evident. One interpretation of The Tempest does not agree with another. And there is a deeper trouble in · the truth lhat any in~crpretation, even the wi ldest. is more or less plausible ... Any set of symbols. moved close to the play. lights up as in an clecaric field ." Iough says his production will acknowledge the play's factual underpin· ning. A series of pamphlets published in 1610 discussed the seemingly miraculous survival of a shipwrecked party which had been on ils way to Virginia. At the · same time, Clough's production will pay tribute to the play's many magical overtones and modern resonances, though it will nonetheless remain firmly situated in one time and place. The play is a complex work "so full of things to explore," says Clough. "That is the test of a good play, that there is always something new to discover. It is not uncommon for major actors to play Prospera four or five times in their careers ... Shakespeare in Delaware !'ark con· cludts Aug. II.

The Sweet l'lap of Daughterhood. Many women, upon recognizing the patterns that lead to violence. will resign themselves to the inevitability of the beating and may hasten its occurrence so t~at the battering cycle can re ach 1ts conclusion.. "Tension building" will be followed by the second stage, caJJed an "acute battering incident" by Child Abuse and Domes, tic Violence. This will be followed by a ..calm, loving respite;... which some experts feel may contribute to a battered wife's tolerance of her abuse. During the · literal lull between storms, it is the wife who has control Qf the situation, and the husband who is abject and apologetic. This third stage continues until the "ten· sion building" again begins, aCCO[!ling to the publication, and "characte · ically, the beatings increase in severity d . freq uency." Probably the most frequently ask question is why _d o these women stay in an abusiVe marn'age? · ·/ "There are so many factors that go into keeping her there," Bixby said. "A lot of women don\ realize they are being abused. They think it is pan of a relationship." ..... ··As they begin to dale, these girls become victims of physical violence from their boy· friends, perhaps seeing such behavior as inevitable, or even as an indication of · love.·· - Battered Women and their Fami· lies: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs. Unfonunately, ···~· many victims of abuse tend to feel isolated, a syndrome that feeds upon itself and is ·complicated by women's belief that no one can help them. .. It is important for women to know that this happens to other women," Bixby said. "The theory that the woman wants to be abused, that's malarky. n There_also is a tendency toward a "learned helplessness, n a lowered selfesteem. and an inability or unwillingness of police, clergy and other social agencies to properly address the situatio n, she said. "Now, the first response to this story, which I myself think of, will be 'why didn't you seek help?'/ did. Early in our marriage I wentlo a clergyman, who aller a few visits, told me /hal my husband meant no real harm, that he was just confused and felt insecure. I was encouraged to be more tolerant and understanding. Mosl important, I was told to forgive him the beating jus/ as Chris/ had forgiven me /rom lhe Cross. I did· that, too ... I did go to two ... doctors. One asked me what/ had done to provoke my husband. The other asked if we had made up yel. I called the police one lime. They not only did not respond 10 the call, they called several hours later to ask tf things had 'sellled down.' I could have been dead by /hen!" - Ballered Women, Donna Moore. editor. According to Bixby, one of the reasons police agencies may be reluctant to respond to a domestic call is the personal danger it preseQts to the officer. She noted that more police officers are killed while responding to domestic calls than in any other line of duty. Police are instructed to play the role of the mediator when answering a domestic call, to S!llOOth over anger, and restore a semblance of tran9uility. In one case, documented in the collection, police told a husband to take a walk around the block to cool off. When he returned, he murjlered his wife. Pressing assault charges also is disco uraged, in pan, because of low prosecu tion and conviction rates. Aooording to Diffu~ncu in · R~lativ~ Resourus, Familial Power and Spouse Abus~ by William J. Hauser, "Judges are reluctant to impose penalties for usau!~ ~~ . ~~- bands because if incarcerated, there is little or no financial compensation for the wife." Society in general, Bixby said, does not know how to respond 'IPpropriately to the plil)ht of battered women. The problems woth police providing the same protection from an abusive husband that would be provided in an assault by a stranger are compounded by a legal system that may unjustly penalize a woman who has left her home for her own safety, as well as inadequate or inappropriate psychological services. She said that she recommends added counseling instruction.Jor police, clergy, social workers and others who deal with battered women. ••••• "... The traditional female vocatiol')al role of homemaker gives women little control over their own lives. Instead, their welfare and succeSs depend on marrying a successful ma~ ... The more traditionally oriented women who believe strongly in marriage and homemaking have a much IT:ltder time escaping from a battering relationship. Instead of believing themselves capable of finding a good life outside an abusive marriage, /hey struggle endlessly to make the marriage work." - The Hitting Hab~ : Anger Control for Battering Couples. ..... by Jeanne P. Dreschner. Reactions to her literary collection, Bixby said, have been few. She admits sbe had expected "some type of violence" in response to the subject she chose, but so far has received no negative feedback. "One woman came up to me who was very enthusiastic about tt . I see some men go by, and they look like they'r~ studying (the collection), but they never say anything. ..Then again, it's not the kind of thing people adm it to." · . ..... "Marital violence may be kept secret from the neighbors. bur chances are the children know. One mother grimly admits /hal her six-year-old tried to overrule her arrempls to put him to bed by threatening to 'call Daddy lo hit you.· " - Judith Gin- · gold in Ms. magazi~;~ •• Children also suffer in an abusive marriage. If they are not abused along with t hei r mother, they may be a bused by their mother, as an ou tlet for her hurt, anger and frustration . Even children who are not themselves battered are e motionally scarred by the violence of their parents. According to &11ered Women and cheir Families: Intervention Strategies and Treatment Programs, as cliitdren mature into teenagers, ihey have a tendency to iden tify with one of their parents. • Adolescents frequently will take sides during violent arguments, those siding with the father often behaving violently toward the mother. " 1 As they mature into adulthood, they also have a tendency to follow the abuse patterns of their parents. ..... " I wem to th~rmy chap/am one time. hie told me to try lo work it out.

She advises women who see themselves in her exhibit to ... talk to someone abou t the situat ion. Get some other people's perspectives on the situation. Don' feel isolated.

From 8 a.m. until wrap-up at 5:15p.m., approximately two dozen memberS of the Ripley's crew taped and re-taped a two and one-half minute segmen:) on the accomplishments of world renowned author JamesJoy.ce which will air on the series next fall .

"Every week they do a segment on how a great man or woman overcame great physical difficulties in pursu ·· of their life's work," explained Robert rtholf, curator of the Poetry I Rare oks collection. The segment, narrated by Osmon focuses on Joy.ce's abilitr. ,9Dd desire to write, despite declining VlSlon as a testament to the power of human motivation.

Joyce wal; able to overcome the problems ofpooreycsigbt ~oduced ·writ­ ings whach include Uly<s~s. a novel which the segment 'cites as "a masterpiece of world Uterature." During her discussion, Osmond compares the "tight, scribbled notes" of Ulyssu to t~ ·!'ages of the notebooks Joyce ftlled while composing his later novel Finnqtm :r Wab where only a few words fill each page. This provides visual testament to the decline of the author's ability to see the page before llim. Jed Rasul, head of the research department for the Ripley's series, decided that Joyce would he a good subject for the show and<:ontacted his friend Bertholf about using the UB Joyce collection as the backdrop. · "JedCalled me in January and we dis. cussed his idea, then a scout came to look and previe the coUcction in March," L Bertholf explained. he collection, considered one of the most distinguished in any library, contains a range of items including portraits, personal items such as his eye. glasses, and an array of notes and manuscripts. . In the interests o( pr=rvation, the majority of the Joyce materials are not left out for public display. Items are available for viewing upon request. "Anyone with a legitimate purpose established in advance can see the manuscripts," Bertholf said . The Joyce collection is the product of acquisitions made by the University. In 1948, the initial portion of the c,ollection was ~urchased from the Librairie La Hune m Paris. This icquisition brought portraits of Joyce and his family, T notebooks, manuscripts 'and other items of memorabilia to UB. The purchase was financed by the donation made by Margaretta Wickser in memory of her husband, Philip J. Wiclcser. The second installment came in 1959 through the purchase of Joyce materials from Sylvia Beach, the publisher of the first edition of Ulysses. This purchase was made possible by a gift from Constance and Walter Stafford. The third installment was given in 1951 and 1959 by B. W. Huebsch. publisher · and associat.e of Joyce. The final acquisition was made possible after the death of Sylvia Beach in l96i.

As he walked past Hayes Hall, the residents of the county almshouse (poorhouse) scrambled for the cigarette butt he discarded. On June 19, 1985, McGrath arrived at UB and found himself in the midst of a campus sprung up out of the fields of Amherst. After wandering around for 30 minutes, he was able to fi~d the Center for Tomorrow where he addressed the Class of 1935 on the oc:casion of their 50-year reunion. "You and I ·owe a great deal to this University," said McGrath, who had served as assistant to Chancellor Samuel P. Capen and dean of administration. The 37 members of the graduating class of 1935 were joined by approximately· 40 .graduates from preceding . years. Events of the day included the takJng of class portraits, a luncheon. bus tours of both campuses and several spealcers. £dward W. Braunlich, 1935 graduate and Unitarian chaplain, gave the invocation. He noted that it was a dar "for sharing coinpanio~ship and aljecuon ." The class was welcomed by Benard A. Verrico, president of the General Alumni Board; and Donald Lutz, vice presi~ent of the Student Alumni Association. Dr. Judith Albino, associ11te lfi'O oSI; - ' alsQ addressed the class, acting as stand- W in for President Steven Sample who was in Colorado. She explained that Sample was attending a conference on the importance of the liberal arts in undergraduate education and asked for further contribution on the su bject. "You can share yo ur wisdom . .. what you valued in your education," Albino said . "Tell us what we should he doing that has perhaps dropped by the wayside." Albino also presented the class with a diploma in commemoration ofthe class•s 50th reunion and continued support as alumni. Charles M. Fogel, chairman of the event, presented Albino with a check for $6,500 on behalf of the class. Fogel, a retired UB professor now active in the Emeritus Center, then spoke of many memories of his days as an undergrad. Tuition was $187.50 · per semester. One of the most popular places on campus was the "mixed lounge." "Students today don' know what that means - everything is mixed," he quipped. ogel also revealed a 50-year-<>ld secret. The radi<H:ontrolled car that he and classmates entered in the "Moving Up Day Parade" was actually an elaborate hoax. Fogel pretended to manipulate a series of levers in the car behind the "radio"? car? but it was actually being directed by a classmate in the driver's seat, sunk down below eye level.

" We've (the University) lost· a few things and gained a few but we've only had gond years," he said . University archivist Shonnie Finnegan was able to locate films made by Class of '35 graduate Walter Chappelle, Jr. The black and white footage provided a look at the University of Buffalo from land and air.

"Unfortunately, once a beatmg has occurred. there probably wilt be further battering. Apparently the first mc1dent has the effect of 'breaking the ice.'

Shattered Lives by Kathleen H. Hotelier. Circumstances that lead to wife battering are complex. AcCI)rding to Child Abuse and Domestic ViOlence, edited by Jeanne E. Matusinka, there are ident ifi~ able traits that lead to violence. The pre-battering stage "begins when the couple meets and can last for a few days or several years. During this period some men are violent to inanimate objects. Wh~ they get angry they may • throw or breh lamps, chairs. dishes or tables. In some cases, a man may evl!n ~ake out his hostility on family pets. Although a husba nd may be verbally abusive to his wife, this 'emotional battering' is usually not as intensive or malicious as in later stages." Once ttie battering cycle has begun, it tends to follow a distinct three-stage paltem. · The first stage, tension building, may.be prompted by anything from an accused mfidelity to dissatisfaction with a meal. ''0/fictal tolerance of wtfe beattng has 1ts roots in tradWon and law. Legal historians trace the expression 'rule of thumb' to the ancient right of the husband to chastise his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb, and the hoary notion that a wife ts the property of her husband still entrenched in many areas of law affecting the rights of married women." is - Judith Gingold.

According to Bixby, the severity of the problems of violence against women first came to .her attention in 1980 during a stint as a VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) worker. A recent .graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia with a degree in sociology and English, she found employment with a wome·n 's crisis hotline in Dunkirk. "I became aware of how prevalent the problem is," said'Bixby. "Statistics show that one out of every three to five women are banered, and the effects are farreaching. This problem should be mo.re openly discussed and people made aware of the problem." After a changing economic climate made employment in the field of sociology look less than permanent, 'she enrolled in the School of Information ·and Li!>rary Studi~s (S ILS).

"It's a very popular topic these days among psychologists, sociologists and social workers," Bix by said . " I guess I just felt it was a tjmely topic." , She added that she felt an ex hibit concerning violence against women was a pertinent Subject. " I felt (my collection) was going to be very relevant to most of those people who walk through the doors," Bixby said. "Everyone is involved in some type of relationship with another person." Abuse of spouses is not limited by gender, acco rding to Bixby. Men also are abused by their wives, she said , and for them the stigma is even greater. " I don' want to neglect that there are hus bands who are abused. One ou t of 14 ' men are emotionaJiy or ph ysically battered, and for men , it is even harder to seek help," s he said .

Six of 13 members of the task force eligible to vote approved · the arming recommendation, four cast negative votes, two abstained, and one did not vote. Before making a· decision on whether to arm Public Safety officers, UB President Steven B. Sample emphasized that he wants to get opinions from all \ groups in the campus community. While the Task Force's limited endorsement is not enough impetus for him to change UB's policy of unarmed officers at this time, the issue is still open, he noted Members in favor of the recommenaarion cited such rea- · sons as "potential danger to members of the CaQlpu~ community'' and Pub.lic Safety officers, the existence of controls on armed officers, the qualifications of campus officers to carry arms and "potential delays in the timely arrival of armed representatives of the Amherst or Buffalo police." Members voti.ng not to arm cited these reasons: the iss,ue- of arming has become "political" at this time; armed officers do not "prevent .or deter others from bearing or using arms;" stricLUtes involving bearing or use of arms during "political confrontalions" have not b6en defined, . and "selective arming would be preferable to arming all offic.ers." · Other recommendations made · by the task force involve increased campus awareness and use of existin~ crime prev~ lion prograr¥S bke the AntiRape T~k Force Van and Public Safety Cnme Awareness Programs; improvements in bus availability, especially during evening hours, and lighting on campus; installation of locks on the inside of all dormitory bathroom doors; schedulin~ all evening classe s in a centralized location; the hiring of more female public safety officers; better signage on the South Gampus; establishment of a permanent Women's Safety Committee, and a review of measures designed to improve dormitory security. "The task force is to be commendea for having done a careful and thorough study," said UB President Steven ,B:-Silmple. He also stated that-he w.ould be discussing the report with University officers and various governance 9rganizarions.pcior ~ , to inaking decisions about spe- cific recommendations. The Task Force on Women 's Safety was established by Sample in August, 1984, "to advise the President on issues related'"to the personal safety and security of all members of the academic community .. . with particular emphasis on the personal safety of women." Th e group was chaired by Diane Gale, Ph.D., director of the University. Counseling Service. The task force reviewed crim e reports on campus and noted th at the 1984 calendar year saw an 8.4 per cent drop in crime from the 1983 rate, a drop similar to that reported by surrounding communities. The· rate of crimes per person is reported· as 1/30 on both UB campuses, compared to II 13 for' the City of Buffalo and 1/42 for the Town of Amherst, and 1116 for Buffalo State College. UB has the lowest crime/ student rate of the SUNY university centers; Albany and Binghamton have a 1125 rate and Stony Brook is at 1/14. The task force.report cites a need to educate the campus community -on the actual rate of crime on campus, as opposed to a perceived rate. The report notes that South Campus crimes tend to involve theft, while those on the North Campus tend to be ~sault ·::ndT..iJC ~ports. Another need cited by the report is education about th e stereotypes of rape, and the potential of acquaintance/ date rape. The report emphasizes the concept of campus community watch, in which aware ness of safety issues for oneself and others is practiced actively on a large scale. It also recomme nds more visibility for the campus court system, which deals with student offenders. Dormitory security received special attention, with recommendations for a "dormitory watch" program. In reviewing problem areas, the task force concluded, "Locking outside dorm doors will help but not eliminate crimes. Students must take an a~rive role in protecting themselves and others." The task force recommended yearly training l>rograms for dormitory head and assistant residents in safety and rape awareness. The follo~g is the report of the Task Force on Women 's Safety. Two awendixes were omitted for spac<:_ reasons. One is an article from the Dec. 5, 1984 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education called " 'Date Rape': a Serious Campus Problem that Few "(;tlk About" The other is the brochure on "date/ acquaintance rape that was prepared by the Task Force. 4 l �Women's Safety _Report II Appendix A _ ------__---_.... _ --- Members of the Task Force DL raw.: CW1, Dllwdor ...... tN-..... 0...1 -.unrr IIC CUME" 1*. w&.UAit C:CifiMOY _.......,.....,. ~·....-.~ . iaL&t..GMI"'''ffl,onc.. .,_ ,...._.,,.,..,~ -.lliowlu. &DAIIIIIONU ,_._ --...., IU.TZOWITt. .... ~-....lAf-1 - .

For example, the rate of crimes per person for Amherst is 1142; for Buffalo (city) 1113; for the University at Buffalo (all campuses) 1/ 30 (see Appendix C). The 1984 calendar year crime rate for the University W... down-8.4 cent from the 198!1 riue, a drop simtlar to that reponed by •urrounding oommuniti.es. r.e•· The figures for the University as compared with the other.urtivers•ty center campuses in the SUNY system and with other large urtiversilies nationally are similar (see Appendix D); the University at Bulialo falls about in the middle of available figures reporting crime rates. The number of rapes reponed at the University also is similar to sur-· rounding communities (see Appendix E) and other large, semi-urban.universities (see Appendix F). ln making recommendations to improve perspnal sa[ety on the cam- · pus, a number of thmgs became. clear. there is a definite need for education of the campus community on several issues. One. the ac:wal rate of crime, and that the South Campus tends to have crimes involving theft, while the North Campus is more likely to have assault and rape reports, is 1mponant information that needs to be disse.mi- fna/~!ti;~~r~,~:~c:~~ur campus is very impossible. difficul~ if not There is no one newspaper or place where information can be provided with a reasonable expectation that all will receive iL For that reaso , specific recommendations which fotlow have lried to include as many differen~ and at times o-"rlapping, ways 'of reaching faculty, slaff, and students, as possible. _ Another educational need is related to stereotypes of rape. The rapist is portrayed as a stranger lurking behindbushes who suddenly lunges at an unsuspecting coed Most rapes reponed on this and other campuses fall into the category of acquaintance or date rape. Two people who already know each other are involved, whether an ex-boyfriend, a classmate, or a new acquaintance. ' This means that women must be alert and protective of themselve.s in additional ways than they might have considered in dealing with rhe ster~ typic rapist. Also, men and women need to be aware of sex role attitudes which conlribute toward rape. Acquaintance/ date rape is often connected with alcohol/ drug abuse on the pan of either or both parties, and this information too needs to be publicized Nor is rape usually a sex crime, but rather a crime of power and dominance. And recently male victims a.re beginning to repon rapes. - Yet another educational area is the concept of campus commurlity watch, the notion that one is responsible not only for oneself but for others. Reporting suspicious looltin~ people in classrooms or donnitory bu1ldings, reporting all crimes, and swift prosecution of them is very important in mak· ing criminals aware that the University community will not tolerate crime and will tale an active stance in prevention. In implementing an effective campus community watch, prompt response on the pan of Public Safety, along with swift and fair proserution, is essential. For this reason, the campus coun sys· tern needs to be much more visible. Agai"n, the difficulty of efficient campus--wide communication is high!!ghted Ailimplicit assumption on the pan of many, that we are a community of scholars and, therefore, somehow none of us would hun. ste.al from, or attack another, must be made explicit and examined as the fallacy that it is. Public Safety apprehended twice the number of student offenders as it did non-student offenders in 1984. Although the figure for non-student apprehensions might be down some from previous years because of slaff cuts, much crime is commined by students. ·In general, there are many fine effons already being made to educate the campus commurtity about personal safety concerns. Again, the need for wider dissemination of the information and the communication difficulties were clear. The specific recommendations are as follows: The Anti-Rape Task Force Van is 1• an excellent service. lt provides educational programs and both walk and van escort services. Its use should be even more widely encouraged The Anti-Rape Task Force should 2 • have a van with an automated lif· ter to enable it to provide escon ser· vice to wheelchair-bound students. . This is especially a problem for the South Campus where there is handicapped-accessible housing within one mile of the campus. The AntiRape Task Force currently shares a val) with Community Action Corps, which has indicated that they do not share this need. lf the Anti-Rape Task Force ever has its o~ van, the 3utomated lifter should be pan of its design. . Provide a bus stop at the. loop in 3 • front of AJumni Arena so that building and pan of the campus is more readily and safely accessible at night and on weekends. This wo~ld, hopefully, be done as soon as possible to enable more students-and slaff to make use of that area of campus safely. The shuttle buses now stop by • Clement Hall on the Main Street Campus only after 5-6 p.m. Making this a regular stl>p by all Main Street buses would enhance the safety of those who 4 live in the donns or require access to them. An addilional stop by Michael Hall, perhaps by request only, would be helpful for students who are sick and gn to the University Health Service for treatment. At present, students must walk across campus through construction sites to reach the infirmary. The buses need to operate on • schedule, or as close to schedule as possible. There are numerous hor· ror stories of buses being up to an hour late; several coming at once, 5 arriving (whether on time or late) full, so that students must wai~ perhaps alone at nigh~ for the next bus; buses not arriving at all, etc. The bus stop at Ridge Lea is often cited by students in their concerns. The bus stop has-no shelter and is at a relatively isolated end of the campus, so students tend to huddle in the recessed doorway of the nearest-building, perhaps 30 feet away, or even inside the building when possible (4266 Ridge Lea). Often buses do not come to a full stop, but merely slow down, see no one irhmediately, and drive on. By the time students in the building or its doorway see the bus . and scurry to get i~ the bus is pulling away. " The Task Force suggests that the bus stop be moved toward the Ridge Lea Road end of Ridge Lea, which is more heavily trafficked,. and that a bus shelter be ereaed at the exact location of the stop; or if the stop remains where it is now, the bus driver blow the horn as the bus pulls up, and tliat the buses be required to Come to a complete st.op and wait one full -minute, giving stu· dents a chance to get to the bus from the building. Another trouble SP.Ol is Sherman Road at the Bailey Avenue intersection on South Campus, which isn't wide enough for unresuicted travel, espe· cially during snow season. There is already a "Stop Here" sign, to encourage cars to stop many feet back from the interseaion to e.ase the congestion and the "tum from Bailey onto Sherman,'but many cars fail to heed the sign and thus make the tum imppssible for buses. Th"' Task Force recommends widening Sherman Road. Perhaps this could be incl\l'ded ~ pan of the current construction project. Another bus-related recommendation is to have driVers check boarding passengers for valid University at Buffalo identification. This would help decrease the number of non-students who use the buses to gain access to the North Campus. The Task Force also endorses major bus_~~U~tl_&:!O minimize students walking alone at nighL The recom- �Women's ·Safety Report Ill Appendix D . ~ 'I'IQ.Mf , . . . . , .

This should be a yearly event A date/ acquaintance tape • flyer was prepared and dis• tributed by the Task Force at the Annual Health/ Safety Awareness Week rece9~y. Additional copies should be made available at Information Desk$ around the '?'ffipus. During campus Health / Sllfety • Week, faculty could be encouraged to discuss safety in their classes, invite appropriate speakers, read and discuss safety related anicles etc., and anicles should appear regu- ' larly in all campus publications, flyers be distributed, etc., so that the entire campus ·is regul;trly reminded of the need to be aware and alert to personal safety issues. · In educational effons tQ • increase the University community's awareness of the needs to be • careful, <f positive apl'roach would be h;etter than a list of • don 'ts."

"Safety is everybody's business." We are not automatically safe because we are on a university campus. Each of us needs to act in accordance with the safety suggestions which have been made (walking in twOS or threes at nigh~ locking dorm or office doors during non-busy hours, etc.). And people ·need to cooperate and help others. A dorm watch, as a special pan of the campus community · watch, should be developed in the dormitories, and a general attitude o f taking responsibilil)! for oneself and others encouraaed Locking outside dorm doors wilT help but NOT eliminate crimes. Students must take an active role in protecting the.mse.lves and others. Perceived versus actual crime • is often very different, with errors occurring in both directions, that is, some see the campus as a very safe place and do not take appropriate precautions, while others see u as more dangerous than it actually is, and perhaps stress themselves unduly. There is a great need for accurate information dissemination to the entire campus community about the actual crime rate and appropriate safety precautions. Some of the suggested effons to provide this include a regular column called " Police Blotter" in the &pomr and 77oe Spedrum, the two larger newspapers on campus, which would list incidents from Public Safety records; wee.kly dorm bulletins distril>uteil to resident assistants for posting on hall bulletin boards, etc. Ufe ~orkshops and the Anti• Rape Task Force offer selfdefense l~s. These need to be advenised re. ucation and awareness of • alcohol/drug abuse issues is encouraged ·as alcohol and drugs are . often involved in acquainlance/ date rape. Rape. sexual assaul~ and • harassment awareness training for Public Safety officers, head residents, and resi<knt assistants will make reponing of these incidents easier for. victims, and eventually encourage still more reponing. ln addition, the campus community should be continuously encouraged to repon incidents of actual and attempted rape and assault with swift, appropriate penalties im~sed "": campus couns and com. muruty pofice. Campus community watch will • work if there is a dc~.ar, accurate 5ense that students, faculty, and staff are alert, are paying anention to potential crime, and th~ ar~ calling - appropriate authon es in case something or someone look;' suspicious. 12 13 1.4 ,... ___ .. ____ ....__ .. , ., , E.::.:-.:S=:s.::::.-=--~mendation is that the current shuttles (Ellicou-Hamilton, Main Street-F1int, etc.) continUe. Other buses could circle each campus. On the South Campus, for e.xample, the buses would stop at Clement Hall; the Main-Bailey parking lot across from the Windermere loop (for students who use Metro bus to get to South Campus, then Bluebirds to get. from South to North Campus or Ridge Lea); take Hayes Road to a stop at Townsend (to pick up students who live in North Buffalo within walking distance of the South Campus); agam by Parker; and then th~ current stop at Deifendort: On the No'rth Campus, the bus would circle Putnam Way and stop by Lockwood, F1int Loop, Fronczak, and Bell. Send a letter to all instructors of • ~enin~ cl~ and supervisors of staff working night shifts listing safety su~stions such as not walking alone at mght, but in a group; making certain each one anives at the car/bus safely, etc. Advenise the Public Safety • number, exL 2222, as a resource to repon safety-related maintenance concerns, such as lights out in parking lots. As pan of an Environmental Design class, a sticker with this and other imponant infom:~ation is being designed for classrooms. A rer'Jar check of campus • lighung, especially in parking . lots, with promp1 correction of pro!>, lems already occurs. Once a month the Physical Plant and the Anti-Rape Task Force e>.c h check the campuses. The two groups work independen~y. so there are twO checks every month. This practice has proven valuable and should be continued. It, too, needs to . . be publicized. To the extrnt possible, lighting • problems which came to the atten uon of the Task Force were cor. rected. Ughting circuitry is buried underground and digging is impossible during cold winter mqnths. Also, extremely wet ground may pres.;nt an electrical hazard and result in further delo to 'repair work. Additional advenising of the • availability of Pubtic Safety's Crime Prevention Progr'ims is needed so that even more people are made more aware of the problems and how they can increase their personal safety. These programs include Self-Defense, Rape Awareness, and General Crime Prevention~ .

Campus representatives, Public Safety and muniopal police must communicate and exchange infonnation regularly. Again, court action and sanaions must occur swiftly for maximum effea. Public Safety does an excellent . • job of presenting Crime Awareness Programs. Since acquai-:ttance/ date rape (between two people who already know each other) is so frequent on campuses, the need for makin~ males and females aware of the atutudes and behaviors which conDibme to such incidents is great The Counseling Service 3J.1d the Sexuality Education Center are working together to design a program to be presented · during Freshmen Orientation, Freshmen Colloquia, (perhaps mandatory) donn meetings, etc. ln addition, student government officials, I mer-Greek Council members, student club officers, and other studem leaders should also take part in such programs since these students interact with so many others. ;md help make others more aware. Public Safety h as just com• pleted Rape Crisis Training, as well as formulating a new policy and procedure for rape and sexu.al assauiL victims. Such training should take place at least once a year so that all staff are as effective as possible in working with victims. In addition, Housing and .the • Student Association have just completed a very successful training progrdm for resident assistants. TI1e program covered materials on sexual assault, harassmen~ aQd rape. both educating and increasing the awareness of the panicipants around these · issues. Again, this should be c;lone at least once every year. preferably during August resident assistants' lraim ng, or early io the school year. Student Association members • are also working on a safety awaniness program designed to · increase the awareness of donnitory students about such issues as locking their room doors at all times, especially before going to sleep, locking the bathroom door when taking a shower during times when feW people are about, using the Anti-Rape Task Force van or walk escon service rather than walking alone at nigh~ W..lking in pairs o r small groups at nigh~ locking car . doors, parking in well-lit areas when at all possible, not studying alone in empty classrooms, not stealing ligh1 bulbs from the hallways, etc. Again, this kind of presentation 21 22 23 24 to,answer their doors at all hours of the night The peepholes would provide them protection against opening their doors to unknown people and would be desirable for all doors. Speci6cally, Within Housing, • there is a need to improve the infonnation dissemination following major incidents such as sexual assaults, rapes, weapon assaults, etc. Pan of the difficulty is in the sensitive nature of the material to be released Perhaps.a · joint decision made by Housing, Public ·Safety, and legal counsel could result ·in releases circulated to area coordinators, head residents, and resident assistants for posting. Floor meetings could be scheduled for discussion of the event--and reminders of. safety pre- . cautio ns which might forestall fuwre similar events. 26 While it is suggested that first• floor donnitory windows be ./ equipped with locks which discourage outside entry, Public Safety points out that there have been no reponed window entries; students leave their doors unlocked and thus provide easy and safe access to the.i r rooms for criminals to take ~dvantage of. Stickers remincfinJ! students to lock their doors are bemg made up for each dormitory room door. 27 There is a need for locks on • th e inside of all dom1itory bathroom doors. Some bathrooms in Govemors Hall already h ave such locks. People taking showert very late at night, early in the morning. or other times when there are nqt many others awake or in the area are very vulnerable to someone ente ring the bathroom and harassing or assa ulting them. Housing/ Public Safety have incidem reporu of such occurrences. In addi· tion, students need to be reminded and encouraged to use the bathroom locks, and to lock their own room doors as well, while they arc: in th e bathroom. 28 29.

Student Wode Judiciary (SWJ) has implemented a variety of methods designed to promote greater etticiency in the adjudication of cases. The major changes locus on the process1ng of mcfdents within the dormitories. • Previousty. cases which originated within the dormitories were randomty assigned to SWJ IUS!tces and prosecutors. In order to a11a1n continuity, currentty justices and prosecutors are specaf1calty asslgned to hear dormitory cases throughout the year. This procedural change · allows the JUSttees and prosecUlors to become more cognizant of the problems and issues facmg students Within the dormitory sening • The methods for service of process upon a student reqUire re·examination.

Court calendars become backk>gged and S!QnlfiCantttme delays allow the student to drag out court cases over thfi semester.· One posstble vehtcle to prevent thts SttuatiOn would be tile htnng of a pan· time student process server Once the student tS served. and a Group Legal Serv~ces (GLS) delense atlorney ts appomted, tt would be the burden of the defense anomey to nouty his client of any funher coi!!Yproceed1ngs. At thts ttme Housing allows the AA's to serve process upon the defendant student Thts, however. could exacerbate a Situation. as the RA is usually the ong1nal complainant. Perhaps a Vtable alternative would be to have our dorm patrol serve ~ process after oth~r r.easona~e allempts have been made. By not streamlining the court system. it permits probfem students to remain in the dormttones and on campus This can resuh m the reoccurrence of the dysfunctional behavior and posstble 1njury to other Sludents. Also, tnordinate delays 1n JUstice usually result m the final adJudiCation havng lttUe or no meaning to Jhe offender. A continuing complaint by some depanments who frequently deal with the SWJ is the Court's unnecessary preoccupation With complex legal1ssues both in procedure and evidence. The use of over2ealous law students. at times, can tntimidate the justices. Since the SWJ is ne1ther a cnmtnal nor civU coun of law. bUl more along the lines of an admtntstrahve hearing, more del1nite rules should be drafted concerning the scope of legal arguments. Also. the justices, prosecutors. and defense anorneys must be fully trained to aVOid becom1ng too wound up In legalese. By limiting this. it allows the court more lreedom to · examtne an the aspects of a case Without adherence to the stnct rules of evidence·and procedure. whtch will facilitate full disclosure of all the tssues tnvO!ved. To anract a larger pool of justtces. some form of remuneration must be available The ChiE!f Justtee now IS the onty patd JUstice. If it is not feasible to offer monetary tncentives col · lege credrts should be offered to the justices for 011e semester. By offering college credtts for thetr servtCes. the Universrty and students in return would receive a more knowledgeable and effictent court system akmg w1th a more serious time commitment from the justtees The electiOn of all the JUStices should be held in the spring. This procedure would result in a full court be1ng immed1ately available to hear cases within the f1rst few weeks of the fall semester. Any vacancies would be hUed either tn the general fall election or by appointment Also, the just1ces WOUkJ have a m•n•mum of one year of the Universjty experience. This knowledge and expeuence of campus life wou'd offer the court system invaluable insight into campus issues and prob'ems. wtuch •s lacking with some of the JUstices. To assure greatm expentse and etficteney, a bifurcation of the SWJ is recommended. Ql'\e court should be only concerned with the issues and probtems arising out of the dorm~ories. as this IS where the most voluminous case load appears. All other maners, sttch as off. campus problems occumng on campus (flOC the dormitories), ~ion vio(ations, academic problems. etc. should be handled by the other court. Finally. a concern voiced by many was the ability ol the SWJ 10 impose and recommend '· sancttons The court has the ability to reconimend everything from expulsiOn to ·probation. Whal ts ladung is a midd~ ground. Previousty. campus communjty work programs were utilized as a viable sane1100. Oifftcullies arose concerning the supervision of the defendant student It is recommended that these types of pt'Oglams be reassessed in light of the gap in possibte sentences. In conclusion, i1 is fimlly believed that these recommendatoos. if impkHnentecl, wiU resuh tn a swifter and more logical app<oacflto the hearing of cases befa<e the SWJ, without sacriftcing-the rights and privileges of the accused or the victim. ·aa There is a definite, strong • need for additional Public Officers, especially women.

The caJ!Ipus generally has • good access for handicapped, persons and is relatively safe, although the visually impaired are encouraged to have guide dogs whenever possible to thwan auac!<ers. There is a need for speedy • enforcement of campus rules and regulations. Currently, the University's court system is not weiLknown. lt needs more publicity so that people are aware that there are sanctions for misconduct and that those sanctions will be swiftly imposed. · Sanctions for ntisconduct will act as a dete.r rent to students and nonstudents alike and the campus "unfriendly" to crimit1als. Publishin.g names of offenders, especially students (as opposed to non-students) in the Police Blotter column of the campus newspapers, would also show that the campus community will not tolerate criminals or make it easy for them to continue their activities, at least on campus. Appendix J is a repon on suggestions for improving the Student Wide Judiciary, one of three couns on campus. AJI three couns need to act more swiftly and publicly than they currently do. A Women's Safety Committee, 37 38 39 40 41 • consisting of about six representative students, facuhy, and staff, should be appointed to continue the effons stan:ed by the current Task Force. The campus needs a central, designated group to whom to suggest funher improvements as they become::: indicaled, and lo coordinaLe theahro~~fi~~~rature, speakers, eLC., ready The Computing Center sate]• lite on the South Campus is currently located in the baseme nt of Crosby Hall and is totally isolated from the rest of the campus now that the buildin(! has been vacated of all other offices m preparatiory for renovation. The unit needs speti.al auention from Public Safety because of its isolation. It is recommended that when the Computing Center satellite is relocated that the new locatioh be in a highly trafficked area, since users, operators, and consult.ams are in lhe salellhe until it doses at midnight Bethune Hall needs its secur... • ity alarm system reconnected to the South Campus Public Safety Office. The alarm has not functioned since Thanksgiving. Additional Public Safety Aides could be used here too. 42 43 Abbott Library now closes at 9 • p.m. Students who are accustomed to studying late in that library sometimes now use classrooms which are often desened and isolated, a very unsafe P.ractice. Signs should be posted by the library staff in Abbott remmding students that the Health Sciences Library in Kimball Hall is still open until II p.m. and that studying in a vacant classroom is unsafe and unwise. This should be done promptly. The South Campus needs • more and better signage to guide people through the construction sites. Re.flective signs would enable people to thread their way through the fences and around holes more safely at night The Task force recommends that maintenance inlplement this as soon as possible. . The ~de nt Public Safety _ • Aides are doing a fine job of · being "eyes and ears" for Public Safety. .,.. St~nl volunteer aic!e. gt<>Ups recently 44 45 46 reponed in South Campus dorms, highlight the need for more trained and supervised Student Public Safety Aides. Housing is already working on a plan to provide a single room or priorIty in the lottery for rooms for the following year to volunteers who wish to be aides. The Task fot;ee re<ommends continuing this practice so thal volunteers are screened. properly trained and supervised. Students should not be performing professional peace officers duties; they should be patrolling dormitories to deler crime, noticing people who do not belonl! in the area, or who are behaving susp1ciously, and calling Public Safety when action is indicated. · A ratio of one aide per building per quad in Elli_cott is suggested with a similar ratio for Governors and the South Cargpus dorms. Alumni Arena has already • been reviewed with personal safety in mind. There are no outside door handles except fo r the fron ~ entrance doors. There is controiTed access from 3 p.m. until 'closing. Paid studenl aides check for identification at the front desk. Public Safety Aides patrol the halls and will ask unauthorized people to leave, calling PUblic Safety for backup when needed. Both gyms and locker rooms are patrolled. Nevenhel_ess, some students have requested'lrdditional aides to p,atrol the locker rooms, especially duri ng periods of low use. Perhaps a woman could be on dury at all times in the women's locker room, as one was at Clark Gym. It is recommended that resi• dent ~istanrs not have pornographic or sexist materials displayed in the1r rooms so that students will be · more comfonable in reporting, rape. sexual assault, or harassme nt to them. Every effon to select resident assistants who are sensitive to issues of ~rsonal safety should be made, in addition to the trai ning already mentioned being provided to enhance the awareness. Dormitory locks on South • Campus residence halls which already have them should be conven ed to the dead-bolt-kind.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Na ught on points out. The misunderstandi ng of the public, Naught on emp hasizes, is based on a perception that skyrocketing malpracJice premiums si mpl y reduce the already high mcomes of physicians but do not affect any other part of society. The reality, the 51-year-<>ld cardiologist asserts. is th at premiums ultimately get passed on to the co nsumer. Possibly even worse is the danger that needed health care services may be reduced, depriving citizens of the full range an d quality of many of the medical -se rvices they now expect and depend on. Spiraling costs threaten bo~h MDs & the public "T By BRUCE S. KERSHNER he malpract ice insurance controversy is not just a doctor's .problem, but an iss ue t~t affects the average citizen - in the pock.e tbook and in the quality of health care that he or she may need," maintains John Naughton, dea n of UB's Medical School. · The. problem, however, he states, .. is that the average citizen doesn't realize this. If the community-at-large does n ~ perceive the skyrqcketing costs of malpractiCe insurance as their problem, too, then both the average citizen and the physician will share in payi ng for the . ) t consequences ... ThiS is how a ught on, who is also the University's vice president fo r clinical affairs, res ponds to the ongoing Statewide controversy that cul minated in both a n intensive lobbying effort May 21 by local med ical societies in Albany and a protest by 5,000 physicians at the State Ca pitol in late April.

The nearly 100 per ce nt increase in one year led to direct action by area medical societies in Western ew York and throughout the State. Probably over half of th e Erie he UB School of Med icine has been conferred continui ng full accreditation for a period of four years by the Liaison Committee on Medical EducaLion (LCME). This committee is the nationally recognized agency for accreditation. of medical schools. Reaccreditation is a vital process that has fundamental effects on a school's standing and reputation and its ability to ma intai n theq ualityof both its programs and its faculty. •;The reaccreditation report represents a significant improvement over the last visit in 1980," Vice President John , aughton. dean of the Medical School. commented . The 19 0 reaccreditation was conferred for o'nly two_year~ . "At their 1980 'isit. the team raised a number of ques tion~ .

Of the $600-700 million in insurance p~emiums for 1985, aggrieved patie nts are likely to receive less than 20 per ce nt . with ins urance companies rcceivtng most of the rest , UB Med School so urces indicate. Current malpractice premiums translate to $36,000 to $44,000 per year in Weste rn New York and $80,000 to S 100,000 annually in Long Island for the three specjalties with the highest rates: neurosurgery, orthopaedics and gyne- • cology.

Said simply. in Naugh ton's view. the malpractice sy ndrome contributes to spiraling inflation. • Hospitals arc sued for malpractice just as frequently as doctors, and these institutions typically pay $100.000 o r ~ o re an nuall y in malpractice premiums. Their payments are increasing also, another so urce of increased overhead that must be absorbed. • A se rious cu tback in health services • See Malprec:tlc::e, page 2 identified 24 strengths and nine concerns it wants addressed by th e next eval ua tio n in 1988-89. · The most important concern was related to the "fragile financial status of the maj qr teaching hospitals" which th.e accredi tors view· as posing a threat to residency programs and to the -potential fu ture resources for the School."

Decreases in the quality of health care are also possible for other reasons. For instance. the practice of ••defensive .. medici ne by phy 1cians in high risk ~pe- . cialties is a distinct possibili1y. This means that some doctors will choose to be more selective in the practice of surgery or medical treatment, avoiding bot h the highest risk operations as well as elective surgery. Another reason. D r. Leo · Hopkins, clinical associate· professor o( neurosu rgery, explai ns, is that " ew York State, a nd Western New York in p articu. lar, will be losi ng val ua ble health care providers, especially ¥Oung physicians starti ng out and older physicians contemplating e = y reti rement, because' of the ma lpracti risis.

For instance, a o.ne per cent decrease in hospjtal revenue caused by a drop in patient admissions can translate to an annual loss of almost $1 ,000,000. When a hospi.tal's financial solvency is affected, such losses can then translate into job layoffs of nurses and other hospital staff.

The -school's clinical practice plan directs five per cent of faculty / physicians' income earned through private practice back to the Medical School to be used for education and other needs. "It could also seriously affect the training of new doctors through o~r residency programs and may have indirect effects on the University's nursing and other health care training efforts," he remarks. The two bills before t he legislature are good first steps, believes D r. Naughton because they will partly relieve th~ dilemma. They could slightly reduce the rate of increase in premiums, set limits on settlements for some types of damages, amortize awards instead of the present practice of paying in lump sums, and put a cap on attorneys' fees. But more is needed to resolve the problem beyond 1985. The crisis will continue. Naughton points out , unless additional legislation limits both the size of other types of awards and increases in premiunis: He ur~es members of the Universit y community to let legis lators know their feelings on this issue and to support the pending malpractice legislation. . "Better s~lf-policing of the medical pr ofession is a lso impo rtant," he remarks. "Peer review, setting of more effective standards and better · enforcement ofthqse standards by hospitals and ph.ysicians would be effective selfpolicing methods." The remaining approach to solving th e dilemma is the most difficult. Much has been written about .. the American trad ition of litigation" and all its negat ive impacts on society. Whateverit. he merits of these complaints on other pans of society, aughton is clear that h1gh rates of malpractice litigation are hurting society as a whole. "What it really comes down to is that everybody else is paying for the large malpractice settlements of a few. ... .. However it works out, the current malpractice syndrome is undesirable for all aspects of society - the physician, the patient, the public, the hospital industry, and the economy," he concludes. 0 Changes would ease transferring here K T wo proposed changes in policies may make life easier for students transferring to UB.

They will be worked out bet ween a depa rtment at the community college and the correspond ing department at UB. The agreements will spell o ut what a student need s to take at the communit y college and what average is required to be admitted to a certain depanment here. It could work like a dual admission, Kunz said, with the student spending the first two years at th'e co mmunity college and the lasr two at UB. If the student meets the requirements at the communit y co llege set out in the agreement. he would be guaran1eed adm issio n int o h is depanmcnt here. Kunz said .

Siggelkow added to this thought by observing that an estimated 10-15 per ce nt of the work force nationally has problems affecting job performance. Siggelkow earned a Ph.D. in counseling and hasserved more than 26 years as a faculty member and administrator. He became involved with the EAP for a variety of reasons. On the humanitarian side, he sees the program "as one way to help people maintain self-esteem, employment, and health."

She stressed that she will have no con· tact with the record s of anyon e who seeks the help of a coordinator but will merely work to assist in establishing t\es with helping agencies. Mather became invo lved with the EAP at the request of Siggelkow but has personal interest in th e concept. "I worked as a secretary for the Psychology Department and was a member of the CSEA . . . . I think it's a good program that will be very helpful," she said . She added "a lot of people know they have problems but they don 't know where to turn - they're sort of flounder· ing on their own.

Now that the EAP committee has selected the three' coordinators they will begi.n training sessions for administrat ors and supervisory personnel.

Any employee who has a personal problem, whether it be alcoholism, drug abuse, a physical disability, or an emo· . tiona! difficulty, can seek out the services offered by this program.

But others had . high praise for her apparent selflessness and tenderness toward an those suffering and politically oppressed. Despite her docile tones, however, she refused to sh rink before the rigors of her revolut ionary ethic. In fact, she fervently preached revolutionary themes throughout her life, firmly rejecting the cause of parliamentary reform, favoring instead sensatio nal acts of violence in which only a few, rather th an many, would be sacrificed.

Her experie nce in the Commune, in which 20,000 "communards" were killed in the fighting or executed on the spot. left her bitterly anti-clerical and anti-religious.

Hooley ·is optimistic that the controversy will be sell led this week. The election difficulties have been brought to the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) for a ruling. . " I'm hoping that the SWJ will come out with a ruling befole the next board meeting," Hooley said . r he action of the Division nf Student Affairs is the result of student leuers which voiced concern about S ub-Board's problems, Lorenzelli noted. He added that although he recognizes that Sub· Board must solve its own problems, it would be unfair for his office to recognize the signature of Hooley or Wanner as official. ··we're saying that we feel it would be irresponsible for us to recognize anyone whose legitimacy is in question," Lorenzetti said. Although Sub-Board is a corporation, it is funded by studen t governments. Lorenzetti explained th3t the body is recognized as a d isbursing a~ency for the~e groups prov1dmg that II operates m accordance with guidelines established with the University. "The arrangement. has worked well so far," he noted . .. But now we have toques· tion whether or not they are acting appropriately." According to Pearles, Sub-Board is not functioning properly. Pearles added that the controversy sur= rounding the treasury is only pan of the problem. Other divtsive issues include proposals for restructuring th e corporation and the powers of th e student governmem presidents. "It's all related to politics and the desire of some board members to make decisions without having to comprom ise with other points of view, .. Pearles noted . Un til Sub-Board addresses these and other problems, they will not be serving the st udents, Pearles maintains. Cornish agrees with this assessment. He noted that the board of directors has not functioned properly for two months. "They've been acting irresponsibly since it was formed ,.. he said. Cornish added that freezing"the funds allocated to Sub-Board is in tended to serve as a warning. "We want to let the board know that we are extremely unhappy with its con-duct." 0 Students propose shifting traffic from Capen. to SAC . A By CON IE OSWALD STOFKO shift of traffic away fro m Capen and toward the underused Student Activities Center (SAC)' is just one theme in a complex set of proposals for improving life at UB developed by students in the Environmental Design 460 class and unveiled in mid-May. . . . The proposals were the result of a proJect that studied the quality of studen t life as tJ relates to recruitment and retention. Physical, academic, and social aspects of Umverstty life were studied. The students were directed by their ipstructor, Dr. Scot! Danford. A number of physical changes were recommended to draw students to the AC. One proposal was to replace Ha milton .!,.QO.PJ located near Engineering West, _wlfh a parking lot. Lee Road , wh ich runs al ong the Cast side of the SAC and! he west side of the Boo kstore, would then be wid ened and the Lee Loop enl arged . Lee Rd . would come to a full intersection wit h John .James Audubon Pk y., continue across Audubon, and then connect with the Ell icon Tunnel. The area formed by the SAC, Bell and Knox would be developed into a " Fountain Square" for outdoor gatherings. It should include a central fountain~nch seating and more trees, the students recomm.encfed. The SAC itself should be expanded by addition of a glass atrium, the students suggested. The student space now located in Capen an8 Norton would b.e takef! over, as recommended by the plan, by student services such as adm issions. reg.: i~ati on , ttcademic a~v!sing, and stu~ent .accounts, thus centrahZJ ng those servaces. ays to " human ize" the Spine in an allerppl to provide an id ~ ntit y and to reduce vandalism were suggested . They include allowing students to personalize their departmen1al areas and installing a "graffiti wall" in the tunnel between Knox and the SAC. Another suggestion Was to install a clock tower to provide a foc us for the Spine, provide. a sourc~ of. orientation, break up the monotony of the predominantly horizontal architee:ture, and serve as a symbol of the campus in the way that Hayes Hall tower serves the Main Street Campus. . Other proposals concern the development of Parcel B and Lake LaSalle. The students recommend that a retail mall be built on Parcel B that would aurae! shoppers f rqm the surrounding co mmunity. It could include theaters, a night club,· restaurants st'fViifg ethnic W ·rood s, a bank , post office, and ski and skate rentals. Lake LaSalle would ' be an ideal locati on for a park that could be used by both the University and out,side community, the st ud ents said . The..park, near the site of the planned fine ans building, could have a theme similar to Artpark's. One proposal in the academic area is to enhance teaching effectiveness by making rewar.ds for good Leaching equal to those for research. To aid the social as"'cts of stu.dentlife, i~ was recommendtd that an Attiletic Club be created to plan social events centered around athletic events, such as pep rallies and victory parties, helping to spread school spin!. · 1 be class was a~ked to undenake this project by Dr. Lawrence Kojaku , T . • See Capen, page 15 . �June 1985 Summer No.1 II 1.

Graduates were happy, too-glad to be done w~th the grind, glad to get on with the rest of their lives. Some gradujltes of yesterday were equally happy to come back: among them were 1952 Engineering Grad Erich Bloch (now head of the ational Science Foundation) who received an honorary Doctor of Science degree and a 1967 grad from the same faculty, Gregory Jarvis, who 's scheduled to be on an. August Space Shuttle flight. Jarvis picked up a UB flag to take on that mission and gave the Engineering Commencement address. " Reach for the Stars," he urged. Other commencement speakers included Brooklyn D.A . Elizabeth Holtzman, Buffalo baseball luminary, Robert Rich, Jr., who invoked Luke Skywalker of "Star Wars," and the president-elect ofthe American Dental Association. Here is a round-up report: he C hancello r Charles P.

He has a true spirit of compassion·, sacrifice. and endurance." Hon orary Doctor of Science degrees were conferred on Erich Bloch. director of the National Science Foundation. and Pierre Dcjours. internationally respected French researcher in th e field of respiratory physiology. An honorary Doctor of Laws degree was awarded to Ec!win F. Jaeckle. distinguished area lawyer. Conferring the honorary degrees were SUNY Trustees Judith L. Duken, John L.S.

President Sample conferred bachelor's degrees on 2,716 graduates. ll)asl~r's degrees on 873, a,.d Ph.D.'s on 246. _ In his address to graduates and their families, Sample noted that UB's commencement w.as pan of a S U Y-wide celebration of its one millionth graduate. fi e also1hanked the Class of 1985 for its "generous Senior Challenge Gift:' dri ve, - ;:.;;;;:;;~~~.- in_which more thim ~0,000 was pledged by class membe ~, a continuation-of a practioe.initialed .by tbe .aass of J984. • A 1920 graduate of the UB Law School, Desmond was the first person to hold the position of C hief Judge in the state. Amo ng his many awards, he has received a State Bar Association Meda l for distinguished service to his profes· sion, the Brotherhood Award of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. and the Buffalo Club Medal for civic service. Bloch, wlio was appointed to his post as director of NSF by President Reagan in 1983, is a UB grad uate in electrical engineering. Before assuming the SF post, he held the position of vice president fqrtechnical personnel development at IBM Corp. His ci tation for the hon orary degree read: "The impact of your scien tific innovation and foresight in the ' area of se miconductor circuitry has con~ tributed significantly to the development. refinement, and present status of computer technology. [You have demonstrated] a co mmitment to academic research and to science and engineering education which is renected .t oday in the vigorous new leadership you have given to the NSF."

Martin said, bcca.u e it is' more easily accessed. it is easier to update, and it provides more specific information gn a wider range of areas. Although it was developed for industry. UB faculty may find the database helpful in locatmgother faculty with similar and allied re earch interests. M anin pointed out. That's been theca cat institutions with imilar systems. ..S tanford and Michigan found that although it was intended for industry, it was most used by faculty looking for other faculty, •• he said. he com puter program was developed T by Advanced Autom1tion Concepts. Inc., a company which acted as a consultant to the TDC, Manin said. The company is headed by James Blascovich, associate professor in health behavioral sciences at UB. An advantage of the system is that it can co nduct a ..string search"' to pinpoint information wanted . Each faculty member listed submits a detailed description of his or her work, explained Beth Wurl, word processing and database manager at TDC. Key words can be sought from those descnptions, making it possible to find noi only researchers in such vague categories as cellul ar biology or immunology, but also tliose who work specifically on monoclonal antibodies. Wurl gave a demonstration using the word "behavior." The name of anyone who used the word ·•behavior" in the description of his pr. her work was soo n printed on the screen. There were about 40 names in fields such as mechaniC.! and aerospace engineering, physiology, nursing, periodontics, orthodontics, chemistry~ physics and astronomy, and psychology. . If a researcher iopsycho[ogical be haylOr had been sough t, just those names ~ould have !>ten called up. If psychologIcal behav1or, · but not its chemical aspects, w ouglit, any of the psychologists with the word "chemical" m their work description could be excl uded, explained .Jacob W.

Another possibility "would be to New delobate will bring UB reaourcea on-line. he equipment requ ired for retrieving information is simple. Martin said . All a bu~iness client or facu lty member needs is an IBM- PC and telephone modem or hookup. When he visi ts clients, Martin carries a briefcase in one hand and a portable microcomputer in the oth er. With th e portable computer, searches can be made even if the cltent doesn't own th e necesary equipment. · Whether using the portable equipment or his own, the client can view the material simultaneously with the TDC staff. The specific informa tion wanted can then be sent to the client by electronic mail: Manin explained . It has not yet been decided what the charges for the service will be or wh o will be charged. he said . There are about 800 facult y fro m fi ve i nstitutions in the databa~e now a nd Martin hopes eventually to have about 2.000. Faculty in technical areas such as engineering and medicine arc alread y included. and faculty from U B's School of Management may be added . The research capabilities of about 80 Western ew York companies are listed. but Man in said he hopes to increase that number to 500. The goal for listings of grjllltrand contracts is 5,000. There are about 2,000 listed now. Martin said. Only grants and contracts from UB and Roswell Park are · currently listed. The database has no restrictions on how information can be: organized, Wurl said ; the combinations are limirless. Faculty are kept straight by their Social Security numbers because so many names are similar. But no Social Security numbers show up on any printou t, WUrl said. · The TDC has receiVed · permission from each per on listed to use his or her name. The agency had the blessing of the University and the support of deans to solicit faculty membtrs, Manin said. Faculty were allowed to double-check inforl!lation for accuracy. T a an in is interested in the possibility of establishing a State-wide network with the database. Research in areas that ca n~ be pursued industrially here co uld be shared with other areas . .

T-he TDC is looking for someth ing th at has an application to local industry that no one else has cared to develop. he said. .. There would be an arm's-le ngth relationship between the TDC and its for-profit affiliate." Martin explained. The UB Medical School this month is turn ing over an additional6.000 square feet of space to the TDC. Martin said . The TDC uses space in the Medical School"s bu ildings at 2211 Main St.. Buffalo. near Sisters Hospital. With the new space. TDC will have a total of24.000 square feel. Martin said. Of that . 12.000 square feel will be act~al lab space.

Trudeau's CJoonesbury. Is the I . Puliua- Prize- . . often replaced with glib, facile buffoonery which bas no bndy and, narratively speaking, no song whatsOever. The truth of the matter is that, despite the best effons of bigljly artistic individuals over the past 20 yean, the overall product which sac;bcs today's mass audience is extremely shabby, and bas often placed the future of the idiom in question. · ' Looting at the history of comics, one must wonder· why this need be so. With 'an idiom· that bas produced the diverse likes of McGay's liu/e Nemo, Foster's Prince Valiant, Eisner's Spirit, Asterix by Goscinny and Uderzo, and Breathed's Bloom County, it is obvious that the comic page bas produced quite an impressive array of work over the decades. and is capable of nunuring much more. It's also obvious, as long as the need to provoke is stymied by the desire to maintain, that the comics - ~tallyacomic~b bappeils to editorial~ or an editorial which bas crossed the liDe from the "serious• section to .the "funny pap"? What is the streJIIth which bas seen Doonesbury through 15 yean of changing societal temperament, and enabled its author to suspend the daily series for 20 months, only to return more .creative thlln ever? To answer these q plctcly as p<>Kible, it fi omes necessary to eschew any po Jar opiaillns currently held con=n e validity of the comic p&&e; in p nicular, the loJ11-5tanditl'g notion that comics are fit only as a hotbed for gimmicky action, quic;t thrills, bogus JDflN£,/IHAT ~ 'rOll 7RYIN6 10 0/1..

Where current events and timeless issues are concerned, its honesty bas frequently offended varied factions of the popUlace and, in doing so, it bas struct a chord of responsible insight. In daring to be. truthful enough to risk offense, yet playful enough to narratively entenain ourthoughts at all times, Doonesbury bas become a pivotal marriage of journalism and follctale; telling a story which chronicles, personifies, and distills changing times, shifting attitudes, and prevailing emotional constants. This bas been lii:complisbed by Trudeau without the luxury of masking the issues within funny animals (e.g. Walt Kelly's classic Pogo), or cloalcing them within the dubious safety of typecasts (e.g. Capp's li? AbJU!r). Telling his tale through people who ,- for all their distinctiveness - are very hard to pigeonhole, T rudeau has-1:hosen a route which is · our they had vowed to uphold. By the 1980s, it was clear that ideals alone were not, and had never been, enough. Doonesbury bas always conveyed the point that ideals without common sense will invariably place us in line to commit the same basic mistakes, and compound upon the blealr.est trafCdies common to all our preecdang g<!nerations. Whatever the race, creed, religion, gender, sexual preference, or profession. Trudeau has made it clear that "DO one is immune to ignorance. Nor, as we · continue to see, arc: we alwB:YS invulnerable against the threat of intelligence. ..In the vital analysis, Trudeau's Doonesbury must be recognized as a literary masterwork; a 15 year flow of novelistic immensity which bas surmounted the media of print, screen, and stage to become a cultural institution all its own.

The fact that this view bu been upheld by uninformed media and the selfproclaimed intellectuals of today'J "pop" culture scene bas helped to keep the overall idiom of comics light in imp3!'1, safe to swallow, and easy to take for granted. Yet it's also true that much of the comics industry has left itself open for such misconception due to poor assessment of public taste, and .a basic na ivete where the ;ntelligence of its own readership is concerned. Aiming for the new breed of one-shot collectors, honing sharply for mass sensationialism. and i~oring the longrange damage thiS produces within the market, we see results like Secrel Wars, 71le Smurfs, Qr the Superman f S u{X'rgirl films. Here, provocative . caricature, drama, and wit are too in the manner of any other ~reative idiom - will continue to face enormous struggles, wasting preCious time and energy sim ply to prove the integrity of !ts O!"n best endeav ors. H ow, then, does Doonesbury surmount this dilemma? The answer is that Trudeau has boldly chosen to bypass th is maze altogether. Where many authors blindly cater to public whim, or stoically fall into a frustrated rut of the .. look-see-we-are-serious-and-relevant" variety, Trudeau makes the wise choice of letting his work speak its own piece. No preachiness will be found in Doonesbury's message, nor is dangerous because it requires a rare balance of the brusque, the ~loquent. and the plain to make it work. That it not only works but has grown and continuously develops, even now, is' a stark testimony to Trudeau's investigative diligence, speculative shrewdness, and playwnght's eye fu r knowmg how to channel cbaracterizational tension and release, to say nothing of a master cartoonist's ab iht y to juxtapose whimsy and pathos.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

PH OTOS JIM S IJ I 'f. RJ COUJGH01\. MARC I..EEOS • PHYLLIS C HJUSTOPHFR �How the Games Be.gan The idea came from the Canad ians lattsburgh attorney Lou Wolle was driving in his car one hot, summer day in 1976 when he heard a rad io report describing the success of the Canadians during the Olympic Games in Montreal. "They· attributed the success of the Canadian team to the network of am~­ teur athletic competitions hel_d throughout Canada," Wolfe reca lled. "So I thought to myself. if they can d o it in Canada, why can't we ·do it here in New Yort< State?" And the concept of the Empire -State Games was born. The New York State mmission on Spbrts and Winter Olympi a stand ing committee whose prima objective at that fime was to plan th 198(}' Winter.Oiympics at Lake Placid, as also asked by then-Gevernor Hugh Carey to look into the feasibility of mounting the Empire State Games. Commission members met in February of 1977 to discuss the ga mes concept at the house of the president · of Plat1 sburgh College. P Margaret Grossberger, a commission member. recalls that brainstorming session: "It was a cold, wintry day rn February of 1977 when we got together to discuss the forming of the games. Some of the people present were at first a lit11e skeptical about the whole thing. But. as the meeting proceeded, it seemed to be more and more possible. The idea just took off that night. It's a night I'll never fo rget." Dr. Ernest Rangazas, director of athletics at the State University College at Pla t1sburgh. was instrumental in setting up the games. Rangazas was the one who suggested the event be called the "Empire State Games." The name was well rece ived and it stuck.• The concept gained momentum when Governor Carey took a strong interest in the games. T he first Empire State Games were finally held in August of 1978 in Syracuse and the next six games were also held there. "The games were originally set up to move to a diffe rent venue each year. but no on6 had !he kind of facili. ties and accommodations that Syracuse had to' house and feed so ' . many athletes at one tim.e." said Mike Abernethy, executive director of the ErT)pire State GameS. "Syracuse didn't want to lose them once they got them. The ~am es did a lot for,Syrac use." This year's games as well as next year's will be based at the Stale University at Buffalo and elsewhere in the Western New York area. "The rdea of moving the games to Buffalo started in 1981. A lot of planning was involved."' said Abernethy. Aside from the influx of dollars and commerce that the games will generate, Abernethy believes the. games will have a great rmpacl on UB by making rt the exclusive focus of State-wrde at1ention for the week. "The people of Western New York will also have the opportunity to witness the events firsthand - something that they've never witnessed before," said Abernettiy. The games themselves have changed in their briel , seven-year history. For instance. the first games in 1978 f!lalured an Open Divrsion and a Scholastic Division only. In t98t . a Masters Divrsron wa s added to enable older participants to compete against1helr peers. About nine events have beeh added to the Scholastic Division since th e first games in 1978 and three have been added to the Open Drvrsion. Though they've changed through the years. the games have survrved. In Iact. the event has been emulated by 21 other states, Abernethy noted. " Many people thought the whole I rdea of the games would fall through. but· rt didn't," he noted "We're yery proud of how well th e games have done. The games are very good for the people bf New York State " D The .Beginning is an End Events culminate a year of campus planning he begrnning of the Emp~re .

T he Slate has budgeted $600,000 for the University to use to offset direct costs of th e Empire State Games. Costs to the University will be kept low by utilizing volunteers, Wagner said. " The Empire State Games are costing the University o~ly the time and energy of !Jeople," he noted. "We .don't see any significant added cost to the University. Frankly, the people involved are very enthused." About 700 volunteers will offer their services throughout Western New York. with 200 of them to be located at UB. Volunteers will be used to staff a campus information booth system. assist at activity sites and help prqv•de leisure. recreatiOna l and educational activit1es lor the athletes. Dennis A. Black is serving as Empire State Games volunteer coordinator. Th1s is the first year that the games have been held outside Syracuse. Wagner said, with credit tor the change of venue belong1ng to the Chamber ot Commerce, which "on behalf of Western New York. made the proposal to the Governor." Western New York also Will host the !)vent next year betore the games return to · Syracuse in t 987 . The advantages to holding the games locally are two-told, Wagner said. F~rst . the games will bring large numtiers of people to the area and represent a tremendous economic boost for businesses throughout Western New York. About 200,000 people are expected to spend UniverSity coordinator. between $4 and $5 million from Aug. to 11. Secondly. the event will "showcase UB for 6.000 athletes, their parents and spectators, particularly because the C?mpus is new and lots of people haven't seen 11 yet." Wagner said. o Watch out for that sup! If your day at the games hl!S turned out to be a hot and sunny one, you'll need to protect yourself from possible heat exhaustion. Members of the Baird· Point Ambu lance Corps recommend drinking plenty of fluids and shading yourself from direct sunlight. If you feel nauseous or dizzy, get out of the sun immediately! o The Weather Nothing is certain, but the outlook is good N Louis J. Schmitt: assistant me; treating an injury, even the serious. until the ambulance arrives. The two ambulances used by the corps are also fully stocked with the most modern equipment. One ambulance is a brand new addition to the corps' equipment, picked up from the manufacturer only a few weeks ago. II was custom-made for th e Baird Point volunteers .. If a· medical problem needs attention from a physician, corps members will transport patients to the University Health Service office · · located in Porter Quadrangle ol the Ellicott Complex where doctors and nurses are on duty. If the JJniversity Health Service ~taff feels a problem is severe. ambulance volunteers are responsible for transporting patients to local hospitals.

Lightning •s the only thing that may •ntertere. In that case. outdoor events w111 be postponed and probably made up on Sunday, Aug. t t . Weather forecasters have ruled out the possibility of a llood. earthquake. or tornado imped1ng the games. but nothing is one hundred per cent reliable. "The only th~ng that's normal about weather IS its h1gh variability." commented Donald Wuerch. chief meteorologist for the National Weather Serv1ce at the Buffalo International . Airport. In other words, the only thing that is consistent about weather IS its Inconsistency Predicting weather conditions, according to Wuerch, is an iffy and nebulous proposition. For the week of the games. Wue;ch said, "It's generally a warm pan of the August month. Based on pas) records, precipitation during the period usually comes 1n the form of scattered showers and thun'derstorms at the rate of" ·one out of every three days. "Thi$ amounts to a probability of about 30 to 35 per cent of prec1pita- . lion every day. We also have a good deal of sunshine. It's safe to point out. too," Wuerch continued. " that the Butfalo area is air conditioned in the afternoons by the Great Lakes' sea breezes and that makes it cooler than surrounding areas away from the Great Lakes." The meteorologist said ihe average high for games week is 79 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low. 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The days consist of 59 per cent sunshine on average with an average wind of 9.9 miles per hour prevailing out of the southwest. he points out. · The record high temperature for the week is 95 degrees Fahrenheit. whiCh occurred on Aug. 9, 1914. On the other hanll. the record low for the period was a chilly 47 degrees Fahrenheit on Aug. 1, 1948. Generally, the weather conditions should be good for the games. The temperature will probably range between 60 and 80 degrees F.alt'enheit with a 30 to 35 per cent chance of·rain each day throughout the entire week of competition. One thing is certain about predicting weather: you can't predict the unpredictable. IJ • 1 �T-shirts?

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The Faculty Senate Tenure and Privileges Committee has recommended in its report that faculty members who<lo not receive a salary from the University should not be included in the University's clinical practice plan. "' It is Faculty's contention that an i ndi~ vidual recruited to engage in research and education in a clinical settin$ should be provided the support amentties (space and personnel) by the School of Med1cine to discharge the responsibilities for which he/ she was hired," said the Committee on Privileges and Tenure in its report. "In addition, an individual should be entitled to the usual provisions of the policies of the Board of Trustees, namely, tenure, sabbatical leave, and a minimum guaranteed salary support. "A member of the clinical faculty working under these conditi~n~ may be expected to live up to the-pohc•es orthe -:- A Board ofT rustees and to devote most if not all of his / her time and energy to an academic career... The committee made four re co m~ mendat ions: • At the time of initial appointment, the responsibilities \ rights and privileges of a'faculty member should be discussed and recorded . An individual should not be appointed to an I!.J)qualified title unles~ there is at least a minimum salary for rank from State University. • Unless a faculty member receives at least a minimum salary for rank from State University, he{she will not be eligible for appointment to tenure. (Cu rrently , so me tenured faculty receive no salary.) • To the extent that certain faculty are not in the professio nal services negotiating unit , membership in a plan for regulation of clinical practice shall11ot be mandat ory unless · that faculty member receives at least a minimum salary for rank from State University. • The Faculty Council oft he School of Medicine i~ requested to re view appointments in the School ~f' Medicine With a"proviso that a minimum number of contact hours with students per year shall be required to maintain yearly appointmentm qualified rank. Those faculty not fulfilling the qualification shall be given adjunct status. au11hton told the Faculty Senate Execut1ve Committee that SUNY is financially obligated only to those clini· cal facult y members it pays directl y. However. geographical full-time faculty who are paid by a hospital come under the clinical practice plan. he said . (See Reporter, 4/ 25{85). t is expected that at the Full Senate Isented meeting, a resolution will be preby Claude Welch, chairman-<:lect, that would ask that the third and fourth recommendations of the roport be considered separately. It would also ask the administration and the Tenu/e and Privileges Committee to clarify matters presented in the report. Questions had been raised on whether or not the third recommendation is an em pll>yment issue better left o United . Umversit y Professio ns (UU P) and the Office of Employee Relations. Anot er ~ argument- was t·hal"fhe reporf lerr~m-e questions unanswered. such as whether. by definition, people employed by the State have to be part of bargaining units. Ross Markello, a professor of anesthesiology and a member of the Tenure and Privilege Committee, argued that those who are charged with the responsibility in the matter are also unclear on the point and that passage oft he committee's recommendations wo uld help resolve the · ambiguity. . The founh recommendation was questioned because it puts the Universit ywide Faculty Senate in the position of giving directions specifioally to the School of Medicine on a matter that so me arg~ed should be handled on a more "local" level. n other Faculty Senate business. the Ireport Executive Committcct, discussed a from the General Education Commiuee. ..

These areas have a good deal of overlap, Bunn pointed out. Having a cen tralized location along the Spine would give st udent s an opport unity to get good. overla pping advice. he said. The proposal is ..designed to improve the qualit y of student life," he said. "There's been a good deal of slippage between the academic advising system of the firs t two years and the faculty adviseme nt in the major program. We want to make it more integrated so there's a con tinuum for the stud ent. "Furthermore, there should be a continuum of different kinds of adviseme nt." Bunn said th e caseload could be lightened by appointing a few more adv isors. Also, more facu lt y involvement could be sought. A Bunn: he has a report for the faculty. Undergrad college Faculty are being asked .to stud y and comment on plans over the summer Arts and Sciences. The vice provost fo r undergraduate educati on would unite the two as pects of th e college. He or she would be the head of the college as well as head of its governing bod y and advisory committee, Bunn said. As vice provost, he or she would have University-wide responsibility for undergraduate education, while as head of the college, he or she would provide leadershi p to the constituency of the college. The vice provost is c)lair of the Administrative Council of the Arts and Sci- he administration of the proposed college is tied in to the college's twoT fold missfon: to direct a coherent lower divisio n program for all U B freshmen and so phomores and coherent upperdivision programs for all students in the ences Dean (ACAS), which would be the governing board of the college. ACAS is composed of the three Arts and Scienc~s deans: Arts and Letters\ Social Sciences and Natural Sciences and MathCJTl atics. The three: deans w.o uld co ntinu e to report individu a lly to th e provost , but through ACAS, they would coordinate budgetary and personnel actions that affect the college.

I have been encouraged to correct this information for fear that studCnts taking our elementary geology coursCs will be misled. Opposed to statements in the article, continental jce sheets take at least a few thousands of years to form; tens of thousands of years io remain as massive ice bOOies; and additional th ousand s of years to retreat, to say noihing of disappearing. The present extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a lingering re~nant of a larger ice bod y which covered the northern hemisphere and has existed fo r at least 1,000,000 years. or more. In addition , geological evidence has shown ttiat the Antarctic ice sheet has been in existence: for the past 3 to 5 million years. The formula· tion of time fram es from decades to hundred s of years for the formation , existence and final disappearance of an ice sheet is in error by many orders of magnitude.

The international affairs coordinator for SttideOt Association, a pos\ traditionally held by an international student, is being filled riext year by a white American male (Brian Hahn). (The first American to hold the post was a · black woman, Debbie Daniels , in 1983-84.) These art but two indications of how far UB students have come in bridging rhe gap between American cind international under&rads since Seyed Mirmiran, an Iranian stud en~ came up with the idea · of havi ng the predominantly American ethnic-interest clubs (U krainian, Polish, German ~ etc.) join the international stu. dent or:gailizations on SA's Internatio nal Affai-rs Council Thaf Council. in turn, . ,.., elects the coOrdinator. More than one student visiting the U.S. has complained of the "separateness" inherent in the foreign student situation as the major drawback of stud ying herel so the recent UB experience might be vieweO as one small step in· the direction of international undcrstan·ding. V. Bede Agocha, 22, a UBjunior from Nigeria,· the outgoiitg SA international affairs coordinator, hopes so. T One of the higli points of his year in the job, he says, was the fact that 1984-85 saw the Israelis and the Organization of Arab Students display a willingness to sit down and talk together ... in a productive manner." . The loneliness and isolation interna:.. tional students experience over breaks wheg they are rooted out of regular campus housing and herded into Red Jacket also commanded the attention of the International Affrurs Council this year. Special Tha:nlr.sgiving, Christmas, and New Yeats meals were arranged (and offered to thos~ Americans also not able to leave campus) and a CAC van was rushed into service to fill the transportation gap left by the Bluebird Bus vacation. There was also a symposium on prejudices ex perienced by international students. The year saw, too, expansion of the traditionaJ International Fiesta int o a three-da y weekend o f international ·eve nts, blending the socio-politica l (a mock UN Assembly on world hunger presided over by former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim), l he academic (symposia on such subjects as tec.hnology transfer and culture shock, one "of the perils ofjetting between nations to pursue educational programs), and the cultural (" Lingmnania.~ a language festival. and the annual dinner and talent show). A major undertaking. to be sure, and one that Agocha admits taught organize rs a major Jesso n for next year: so much in one weekend is too much! 9 successful were the year's activities that initial recommendations for SA funding for 1985-86 included the highest levels of appropriations ever for interna- . tiona! activities - S48,000 fort he funded clubs and $29,000 for the coordinator's budget. The 1984-85 appropriations were , $30,298 for ~3 funded clubs and $19,000 fo r the coordinator. S The increases, alas, fell victim .to the gene ral budget bludgeoning occasioned by the SA deficit. But at least the inten t was there, Mr. t.gocha smiles. Agocha ex plains that the international coordinator's duties are multi-faceted . First, he o r she does precisely what the title says; he coordinates the activit ies pf 30 recognized, au tonom ous clubs (each with a piece of the total club budget and each with its own agenda) a nd he/ she is in charge of the a nnual cross-<:ultural even ts which involve all the clubs. The clubs range in size from a top of perhaps a t housand or more for the Chmese Student Association to Ihose with abo ut 25 active members, Agocha notes. Some of the other larger groups include the Korean Student Association, the Organizatio n of Arab Students, and the Africa n SA. Mr. Agocha does n~ say so in describing his ro le, but the work obviously requires large measures of tact. dipl omacy. and statesmanship in order to JUggle an~ balance such a rich variety of interests extending from th e Middle East to the Mid West. Typical of the growing ethnic-interest clubs populated mai nl y by Americans is the Uk rain ian Club headed by Oskaria R. S towb un e n ko, a first ge ner a t ion Ukrai nian-American who is in terested and active in the entire range of international student concerns. Other Americans have much t o gain from participation in international activities and exposu re to foreign nati onals. Agocha stresses - particufarly th ose who can~ afford to o r do n't yet have any interest in traveling abroad . They are free to join any intern ational cl ubs which attracl them. As coord inator. Mr. Agocha a lso sat on the President's Cou ncil on Intern ati onal Programm ing, now an official committee of the Division of Stud ent Affairs. This panel also incl udes the GSA international coordinatQ.r a nd representatives oft he Intensive English Language Institute (lEU), Housing, the Office of International Educati on and Scholar Services, and the Stud ent Affairs programming office. Thei r function is to address issues that affect the University- ' wide academic communitv. Mary Brown. who represents Student Affairs on 1he panel, is, according to Agocha. pro bably the person on campus most accessible and helpful to foreign students. So famou s IS she for her help, he says, that it udents ofte n come here from abroad knowing only two words about UB: Mary Bro wn! the official go-between for . eing Americans and international stuB dents was a natural assignment fo r Bede V.

Inn Ova ti ve. Ea rth y. These are th e adjectives people usc most commonly when describing Tammy Ryan. Those who know Rya n can\ say enough posi· tive th ings about her, both as an actress C and a writer. The praise for her work is mounting. and dese r"'tdly so. · The 24-year-<Jid und ergrad who transferred from Queens College to UB's Depattment of Theatre and Dance th ree years ' ago has since proven -herself a serious talent. receiving acclai~ for performances in such productions as "Tro~ j an Wo men. '' Waiting for Lefty."' and most recently, "Getting Out." It is Ryan's skill as a playwright , however, th9t has dramatically come into its own. " Flyi ng Pigeons" and .. Connections," her first fully developell plays, have been greeted with nthusiasm by t he Buffalo com munity. University has given her two major hon s: The 1984 Samuel P.. Capen Award fo " P igCQAS," and the Outstanding Senior Ac · evement Awar<J for 'T)leatre th is yea r. Additionally, "Connectioitt' bro ught her an honorable mention from the Earth 's Daughte rs Playwrights Competition. " A yi ng Pigeons," Ryan's first dram3"tic effon. takes a non-tradi tional approach to th~ exploration of a fa ttierso n rdationship. It is a tense. masculine play that streiches beyond conventional story telling. Looking at Tammy R y~n. one must wonder where the harshne s of the play co mes from .

A 'Ryan that in order to dis tance ~ays herself from the work. he made the child a son in the play. Ryan adds that "the fa t her in 'Pigeons' is my father. except he's not as fatalistic as the man up on th e stage. My dad worked in a o n::,~ ruction compa ny. and I gues. his jo b kept him from trying some things that he would have liked to do.

It wasn\ until last semester that she reached her pinnacle performance in Marsha No rman 's "Getting Out. " Ryan acted o ut th e character Arlie, the tortured alter-ego of a woman attempting to live a normal life fo ll owing eight years in prison. " I saw a productio n of'Gett ing Out ' in Peonsylya nia and I knew I wanted to play Arlie," Ryan says. "She signifies everyt hing l,ve always wanted to experience as an act ress.

Meltzer enjoyed work with Senator Bradley rider bills that may or may no I have anything to do with lhe issue at hand . "lt"s hard to deal with because in lhe besl of all worlds it shouldn' happen. But it"s not a matter of should or shouldn,, it's the reality. The idea is lhen 10 make sure the provisions of the riders don 't derogate or gut the original inlent of the legislation. " Meltzer likened his experience as a legislative advisor to I hal of a filmmaker who finds the section of I he film he liked best on the cutting room floor. " Sometimes the things that you mosl care abbut in your sec1ion (of a bill) are left oul through I he process of polilical compromise .., In an attempt lo combal lhe "paral ysis" which frequenlly overtakes the Senate in its quest to satisfy the concerns and compl ai~ts ..9f its members, a blue ribbon panel was formed 10 study 1he feasibility of cenlralizing more of ils ·operations. But like everything else on Capitol Hill, Meltzer said, lhere"s a tradeoff here as well between an open, decentralized system that is prone to ine rtia as opposed to a more closed , cen1ralized but decisive operation. ' Two pieces of research have resulted from Meltzer's sabba1 ical in Washinglon. One is a paper he presenled·at I he lnlernatio nal Studies Association conference on I he General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (G ATT) which direc1ly drew from Bradley"s work with GAIT reform. The .second is a paper he wi ll deliver this summer at the Internation al Political Science Association conference in Paris on I he trade·preference bill for developing nations. Did " Potomac Fever" claim another victim? Not quite, Meltzer responds. " II gets intense in Washington and people bum oul qu ickly. The nice thing aboul coming back 10 academia is thOU I can slep back and see lhe bigger picture." o By JOYCE BUCHNOWSKI cademics. whose work involves abstract principles, concepts and theones, often fail to make a comfortable transition to the more p!'agmatic world of the practitioner. Bu1 this presented no problem for UB Polilical Sci~ntist Ronald I. Meltzer, Ph.D., who spenl six months in 1984 on Capitol Hill. Meltzer, who specializes in international trade polU::y. was a congressional fellow in the office of Senator Bill Bradley (D., N.J .), a member oi the Senate Finance Committee and its sub-committee th at deals with international· trade. "It was a good fit ,"" reports Meltzer. Good for I he senator because he was able to capitalize on Meltzer's expertise in the area, and good for Meltzer because his ex perience on the Hill has give n him a better underslanding of the give·and-tal<e nature of polilics and public policy making and has enriched his leaching and research. e olher members of Bradley"s staff with legislative authority, Meltzer spent lo ng days attending committee; hearings, meefing with representatives of special interest groups, and fielding questions, concerns and complaints .from constituents. · His role was not to recommend what position the senator should take on proposed legislalion. per se. but rather 10 make Bradley aware of I he "spectrum of viewpoi nts" on an issue held by business, labor, consumer. gove rnmental and other groups. He also inforrried the sena~ lor aboullhe potenlial problems or questions surrounding a bill so he could address them in committee and have an impact on the reco mmended legislation. ""When yo u write or teach, you deal wilh concepts and frameworks of analysis. It was very enjoya ble for me to use .whal I knew and bring illo bear in very specific contexts," he relayed . While Meltzer believes that legislation should be constructed with the " maximum public in terest" in niind, the prob-lem, he ad mits, is defining j ust what the maximum public in terest is. It can mean 1wo enlirely differenl thi ngs 10 two differen! people or groups. For instance, labor may th ink that the maximum public interest is best served if lhe U.S. limits lhe number of Japanese . cars entering the co untry. That would save jobs, keep plants i n operation, and help maintain a growing economy, in the unions· view. Others may feel the maximum public interest is served byeliminat· ing import restrictions altogether since such restrictions su bstantially increase the cost of autos to consumers. The trick. says Meltzer, is to extract "a fine lhread of public policy" from the warp and woof of numerous and contrasting opinions. A During his six months in Washington, Meltzer worked on domes1ic content legislation, which was an attempt by the United Auto Workers Union to ensure lhal imported cars are produced with a certain amount of American content, whether th ose Ame rican parts be tires or fenders, etc.; reciprocily legislation that mandated I he U.S. get recipro.cal benefits when entering a trade agreement with anolher coun1ry. and lhe Uniled StatesIsraeli free trade agreemen t. In addilion. he also drew fro m his research on trade in developing nations and his experience as a National Association of Schools of Public Affairs (NASPA) Fellow in the Commerce Department 10 advise Bradley on a bill, up for renewal. lh.al would continue to provide slaiUiory authorily for granting trade preference to Third World countries.

Ill ust rat io n makes up a significant perce ntage of the vis ual images wh ic h contribute to the cultural environment , Howell notes. In print. film, and electronic imaging .... illustrators have a strong influence on the lives of most of us .~ That new program, in tum-, has enriched the department with lectures, workshops, and demonstrations by some . of the nation 's top working illustrators, including Mall Mah urin whose arresting works have graced the cover of Time and appeared in Mother Jones, among other na tional publ ication s. ti ha s also auracted large numbers of• students. Where once there was the option of o'nly one in troduct9ry course in illustration; now there are four courses, and just this Tuesday, the program was approved as a majo"r option m the department. Students report that the classes are .enjoyable, informative, rigoro and helpful, that they " benefit the w le department" in the sense that illus tion embraces drawin$, pain~n~, phot rap~ y~culp­ tu re - any artiStic concen uon. Children learn with the help of visual aids created by illustrato rs - in quality te xtbooks. or in th e co mics. The field , in fact , ex tends all the way back to cave paintin gs, ye t is,as modern as co mputer graphics. Illustrat ion is not so mething yo u come to cold .. however.

Howell herself is a profesSional illustrator (o ne recCn't work being an illustrated children's book, Colin 's Fantastic Video Adventure by Ken neth Oppel). A native of Syracuse, .Y., she holds an M.F.A. in gra phic communicati oo and painting, and a B. F.A .. in ill ustration from RIT. She has taught at the University of Vermont and worked as an an director and illustrator for a major prin ting firm. Howell received the Gold Award for illustration from the An Directors/ Commu nicators of Buffalo, and her work ap pears in the 1984 Prin t Regional Design Annu al as well as the 63rd ew York An Directors Annu al. She is one of a new breed of grap hic artists fret:<f by "express mail'' to live anywhere in the country and still do work in San Francisco. New York - wherever the illust rat ion action is. Another of the sa me breed is Philip Burke of Buffalo. a painter and caricaturist whose works have been featured in Vanity Fair. He is anot her of the professionals Howell has enlisted to present info rmation sessions for students: still othe rs whd have come to Bethune include Bob C unn ingham, winner of the prestigious Hamilton King Award (the highest award from one's peers in ill ustration) and papermaker Nancy Mulik. All these successful people, Howell notes, have taken time to interact serio usly wit h students, to share their work and thoughts, and to drive home Ihe message that success and hard work go hand-in-hand . Mahurin, Howell notes. enjoyed a special rapport with students , because he is so yo ung a nd co uld talk on their level. ..

Illustrators are open and receptive, a friendly and welcoming group . " There is lillie resent~en t of illustrator by illustrator, "and "the field is capa ble of a bsorbing any number of movements:· T perhaps is not as " rigid in t hat respect'" as .some ot her branches of th e an world .

Over one million adolescents an d teenagers in this cou ntry alon·e mu st take daily insu lin injections to help their bodtes do what they can not do on their own - convert food to ene rgy. But like diabetic adults, these teens must still pay close attention also to diet and exercise to pre\'ent blood sugar levels from climbing too high or dropping too low. The Iauer ~an lead to episodes of dizziness or faintmg while chronically high elevations can have a deleterious effect on she cardiovascular and nervous-systems. W level. however. is not all that ca~y. espc· cially for teenagers .whose lifestyle~ may not be conducive to moderation or healthful foods . Other factors, such as psychological stress. are also thought to e)evate blood suga r levels, making con-trol even harder. It's no wonderthat of all ·a ge groups, teenage d iabeti cs are more likely to experience metabolic control problems. Deborah L. Kraemer, a d octoral candid ate in UB's Psyc hology Department, has received a Sl4,000 grant from the We ndt Foundation to study what it is like, on a day·to-<lay basis, to be a teen ager with diabetes, and what types o stress these teens experience.

By PAULA DeMICHELE oes the Unil ed States need a nuclear weapons defense system? Approximately 50 people auended a tudenl debate last Thursday 10 hear opposing arguments as to the validi ty oft he nuclear weapons defense system known as the Slralegic Defense Initiati ve (SO l) or .. Star Wars ... The debale, sponsored by the undergraduate Student Association . and the Political Science Club. feaiUred David Chodrow, chairperson of US's Young College Republicans. and Kevin J ones. leader of the newly-formed Coalition lo Question the Strategic Defense lnitfative. Chodrol" defended the SO l: Jones assumed the anti-SO l stance. Very brieOy, SOl is a proposed weapons systems. These ·i lude long-range missi les. manned born rs a nd sub mawould be designed to ne ralizc Soviet nuclear warheads. Both the S. and the Soviet nlon have several offen · vc w'Capons sytems. These include lo g-range missiles. manned {)embers and submarines. SOl would focus on long-range lnt ercon l inental Ballistic Missiles (IC BM "s). ICBM ' are ground-based missiles which carry a designated number of nuclear warheads. D I would include an elaborate ground-and air-ba cd satellite system designed to do one of two things: Des1royeither1he ICBM missiles. ~or destroy the warheads they carry. whne they are in the outer atmosphere. SOl would also include devices to locate shon D and medium range missiles, bombers and submarines. ' Chodrow argued that t he U.S. should be prepared for a possible Soviet fi rst • strike. He believes the Soviets will ha ve this capabi lity by 1995. •. "The Soviet are spending billions on a full-scale defense program 10 gel people out oft heir ci ties in the event of a nuclear auack ." he said. " We have dismantled ours because we realizClthat a nuclear war cannot realistically be fought - why spend money on something th at cannot work? ... The Soviets. on the other hand . . obviously believe that nuclear war is winnable.·· • Citing a second reason for the building of an . SOl .sY,slem, Chodrow said the U.S. offen sive nucleartriad iS vulnerable to attack. That triati consists of minutem ~n missiles.(land based ICB M's), B-52 bombers, and submarines, which make up the core of th e U.S. nuclear arsenal. According to Chodrow. in the event of a fir 1 strike. ICBM"s, which are housed in silos, would be most vulnera ble. .. In a first strike scenario." he said , ··eight thousand ou t of 12 thousand Soviet warheads would be launched at our silos. The megaton power of a Soviet ICBM is grea ter than that of a U.S. ICBM. even though their direct-hit capability is not as accurate ... The third reason for the development of SOl. said Chodrow, is that the concept of Mutually Assu red Destruction (MAD) - the theory that the U.S. and the Soviets have an equal number of nuclear warheads with which to destroy each other ~ is .. immoral and insane.,; "The Pentagon repons that by 1995, we cannot be assured of an eq uilibrium in MAD,•• Chod'row repo n ed . •• Assuming a first launch, th e Sov1ets will be attacking our silos and our weapons. In a seco nd retaliatory strike against the Soviets, President Reagan will have no choice but to launch weapOns against their cities because of the assu mpt ion that all their weapons will be gone." , n countering Chodrow's argument, IdemSOl o pponen t Kevin Jones first anded thai his challenger "not subscribe to Star Wa rs without first saying how it will work." Reading from a recent bipartisan Congressional report , Jones sa1d that the prospect for an effecti ve SOl system is "so remote . .. that it sho uld not serve as national policy. The United States wants its peo ple to acce pt a nuclear weapons defense system without even telling them what it is. I can not accept that. -s""b a defense shield being proposed would have lobe 100 per cent effective," Jones eplphasized . "'Even if SOl· were 99.2 per cent effective, 80 Soviet bombs would still reach American cities ... Citing . what he fell were specific inadequacies in SD I. Jones said the system ··addresses nothing more th an the problem of Soviet ICBM"s. The Soviets also have cruise m1ssiles, bombers and subs ... Also •. nuclear weapons can be made small enough to fit into a briefcase. How are we sup posed to prevent them from being smuggled into the country? "One of th e biggest problems with SOl." Jones claimed. "is that it has 10,000 information codes which scientistS say would take more than 20 years to de-bug. We can't afford 10 play with the accuracy of such a system ... According lo Chodrow. the U.S. "would only need 90 space satellites to take care of Soviet missiles. Jones disagreed with this figure. however. " We would actually need 2400 satellites to begin to effectively neutralize Soviet weaponry." he said . "S tarrace."WarssaidwillJonescreate a new · arms ... Once we stan working on such a system. the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty will be broken. What is 10 slop the Syviels from pulling offensive weapons in space if we put defensive weapons in space?'. However. Chodrow said, a Strategic Defense Init iative is necessary for deterrence. " How can we expect the Soviets to honor any type of treaty when we cannot verify th eir weapons? They can re-targe1., their weapons systems at any time without us even knQwing about it. ·· Chodrow and Jones have vastly different views as to whether or not SDI could serve as a viable deterrent to a nuclear attack . Theirs has not been the first dispute over the subject. nor will it be the last. However. they did manage to agree on one point: uclear war cannot be won. and cannot be fought. 0 History teachers' progra·m will focus on global studies By JOYCE BUCH OWSKI eaching' the relevance of Confucian philosophy or Taoism to high schoolers who think of Boston as .. an eastern culture .. presents a challenge to even the best of ducators. There is an .. an .. to teaching what is now popularly referred to as '"global studies'' or non-western cultures. submits UB historian Laurence A. Schneider an an he hopes lo share with 25 Buffalo and suburban teachers this summer at a month-long History Teacher Institute. The first of its kind 10 be held at the University, the Institute is funded by a $42,000 gran t from the State Council for the Humanities. allowing it to offer a S 1,000 stipend to each teacher-participant. Schneider. an expen in Chinese history, notes th at many local teachers attended college at a time when American and European history took cen ter stage. Consequent~N . some have never had formal course work in non-western cultures. let alone training on how to effect ively teach about these cultures. But teach they must. According to a recent mandate of the Board of Regents. T nimh and tenth graders arc required to ta.ke global studies courses. This revision of the social studies curriculum was containe<f in rhe 1984 Regents Action Plan. To ensure that the Institute satisfies both in tellectu al and practical needs of area teachers, Schneider enlisted the suppon and advice of Samuel J .•Aiessi. Jr.. acting assistant su~rintendent in the Buffalo Public Schools; Raymond J . Fahey. J r .• director of Buffalo's social st ud ies programs. and Anne G. Reagan. chair oft he Social Stud ies Department at City Honors who also doubles as the Institute's teacher coordinator. The Institute's graduate credit-beari ng sessions - which begin July I - will feature morning lectures by' prominent scholars from UB. the University of Rochester. the Universit y of Pennsylvania. and the State University College at Brockport. Afternoons will be devoted 10 workshops where teachers will work in teams to translate the lecture material to model Jesson plans and classroom materials that will be shared. I Teachers will be assigned to one of five topic areas which they can explore in small group settings: religi on and ethical systems of East Asia; social history. including research on the family. education. and everyday activities; language, lite.rature and the arts; East-West contacts and connicts. and 19th-20th century continuity, change. and revolution. To facililatc the panicipan!s'work, UB is giving them free and open access to its Libraries and audio-vi.suaJ aids. hose who enjoy experiential learning will be happy to find thai field trips are part of the Institute's agenda. Panicipanls will be in1rod uced to lh"e East Asian collection at the Royal Ontario Museum and to the firs t-nae Chinese an ifacts collection al l he Buffalo Museum of Science. A special luncheon is also being arranged at a Chinese eatery, where teachers will -hear Chinese chefs discuss the nature of Chinese cuisine. its regional variations. and the social role of cooking and eating. Schneider hopes 10 establish a permanent resoorce center at UB to help local social studies teachers continue to grow in interest and knowledge of nonwestern nations. such as China. Japan, India. and th ose in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. He also hopes to publish T a directo ry of U B faculty willing to guest lecture in high school classes. and to whom local teachers could go fo r assistance if questions on lecture material should anse. · A major reason U B was selected as one of three universities to host an Institut e this year, Schneider advised. is that .. we have a wealth of expertise in non-western cultures and are located next to a large urban center whose teachers could have easy access to the campus.... The others selected are Colgate and the City University of New York Graduate Center. UB stands ready, willing and able 10 assist the Institute, says Schneider, who has received suppon all the way from his depanmen1 chair up 10 the office of the University president. In fact , President Steven B. Sample will officially express his suppon at a reception he is hosting for Institute participants at his home. Schneider sees the Regents directive to expand coverage of non-western cultures as a logical and positive move: "h's a myth 10 think that we can have a se nSe of what makes us the way we are unless we can understand others... 0 US should better utilize foreign students universities.·· Another impressio n of his is that in ternational students are often looked upon as an alien element who might take cenain good things away from American students or compete with them for potential jobs in the future. with research ex periences as a .. think foree.... foi- seminars. forums, or wo rkshops on important topics. • Sponso rship by stud.e m groups of mQre internatio nal activi ties parties. dinners. an shows. theatre to promote a better understand ing of world culture : hou suggests a number o f steps to special columns in student papers for .. foster a more active part icipation of internatio nal report s by fore ign students. foreign students in the education and cui• Publicati on of books which collect tural activities on campus and in the local well-written art icles by foreign st udents community .. in order to reach more o n such topics a " How 1View th e A merAmericans.

And , at least before Herbert's ' death, it i~ likely that sex ual relations were seldom, if ever, involved either, though we have no direct evidence for this. Indirect evidence indicates that Elsie treasu red close friend ships with men that _ did not involve sex. Though so me may find it inconceivable, it would have been entirely in character for Elsie to be capable of long, exciting - but quite platonic · trips with men... But Parsons'famil y was still protective of her reputation. Eldest son John, who aided in the search of the family hom e hat finally yielded a metal box co ntaining more than 3,000 letters which are the primary resource for the book. stipulated that Hare could not write arucles in advance of prod ucing a full-length biography. ·· Herbert., Elsie's second son, was clearly not happy with my book and if I . hadn) been a member of the family, would have vetoed it, I'm sure, ·• Hare commented. "Too, he was an old friend of my fa ther s· - they were classmates at Yale - and he felt he couldn) very well veto a project by the so n of an old friend, even though he didn) like it o ne bit." Elsie's youngest son, Mcil vai ne (Mac). was Hare'sstrongest supponer within the fami ly, but Hare still had to negotiate his way through touchy issues. For instance, Hare originally wrote an elaborate series of excerpts from a " racy" novel of Roben Herrick 's which supposedly describes his relationship with Elsie. This series was shortened, with ·no excerpts. in the final book . Hare believes John would have denied use of the paper> if Hare had even mentioned Herrick, but he died before the book was finished, leaving control of tht papers to his wife, who was more liberal minded . Hare was also thwarted in getting access to family photos now held by one of Parso n~· grandsons who is the president of Chase Manhattan Bank. " When I called him," Hare relates, "he was ve ry cranky about the whole thing. Said he had heard conflicting reports about my project and insisted that I sub· mu my manuscript to him before he would allow use of the photos. Well, I'd be damned if I'd submit my manuscript to a banker! " He had to settle for photos held by o!M_r~ily memb= ,.., "I felt Mead had it in for Elsie, that she might torpedo my book . . . ." "That's a very touchy subject." l)e ex plai ned. ··t had corres ponde nce with Mead before she died , to. see if she would give me any information about her relationshipjNith Elsie. I got word from her secretary that I should se nd my draft. I didn) - I thought it dangerou s to do so. I felt Mead had it in for Elsie. that she might torpedo my book with her own publications. I didn't want to mess wi th Jt. I wanted to avoid discipline gossip ... Uh-oh. Did Hare uncover evidence that these two prominent female anthropologists d id not get along? That "fema!s" jealousy reared its ugl y head? Unfortunately. yes, according to Hare. " In her works. Mead always talks as if the first prominent woman anthropologist was Ruth Benedict, when she knew perfectly well that wasn) true," Hare said . "I speculate th at Mead for va rious reason s resented Elsie. Elsie ne ver financially supponed Mead, as she did Benedict and other women anthropologists ... Hare found a letter Parsons wrote to Boas in which she said that Mead 's Coming of Age was a "potboiler. a popular book, not important," in Hare's words. "1 strongly suspect Mead got the clear impression Elsie didn't think too well of her." Hare co nt in ued. "Also. I th inlt Mead was jealous of Elsie. Mead had to scro unge to get pennies to take liefd trips. Elsie could do anything she pleased. I could understand if Mead- was jealous-r .

Hare speculated . At one time Parsons was his literary executor. While Mead. and presumably others. may have considered Parsons· advantages unfair. Hare says th ey in no way detratt from her accomplishments. "She had independent wealth and social position. but we can't attribute her productivi ty to that. She had to be extremely bright and hard working," he commented. "Boas clearly respected her abili ty. That 's pan of what interested me what was the constellation of co nd iti ns that made her possible?" . Hare describes his ponrayal of Parsons as having a .. 19th century flavor," in that it relies on personal correspondence and ..good old common sense" and d oes not delve int o psychoanalys is or a detailed account of the social milieu. "J hedislike psy.c hobiography intensely... said. "I regard these psychoa nalyt ic descriptions as co mp lete ly illegitimate. ··r tried to keep an informal spirit in the book.·: he continued . .. My object was to prese nt as clearly as possi ble-a personal ity, but didn't want to think of the concept of perso nalit y in a nar row se nse. I have a minimum of sc hola rly trappingS in th e book. I didn't want to give a detailed account of the mil ieu people developed in. The idea that this is needed to understa nd a pe rso n is not really valid. I th ink one ca n best understand a perso n's character in the old-fashioned way. with common se nse psychology. Get letters. reco rd s. etc., so chat the reader can co me away with an und erstanding of what makes this perso n tick ... Hare noted that his research on Parsons and her time relates to his own work in philosophy. One of~is main specialties is late 19th and early 20th century Am erican philosoplly. · " A lot of peopk in American intellec- tual· history overlapped with Elsie." he said . " My interest on philosophy jibes rather well with her · a nthropological interests. In that period. people didn't thinlt of the differences between di sciplines as sharply as they do today." Hare said he has received mix ed reactions to the book . Some people ha v~;: told him his portrayal of Parso ns is unfavorable. othe rs say it is not. One femin ist said it was sexist; another said she did not think it was. Oth ers ha e said he focused too much on Parsons' relationship with her husband, but Hare defends this because he feels it was integral to her life and professional work . Hare admits his is not the defini tive work on Elsie Clews Parsons. "The biography is del iberately selective," he said. " I had a lot of information I didn't use." Some of this includes Parsons' .. f~ci nating " correspondence with Alfred Kroeber, who wrote "charming letters which he illustrated himselr'( Ha re thinks their relationship could have been sex ual), C larence Day, and Mabel Dodge Luhan. He also found correspondence with Arthur Fawcett , the first black professio nal anth ropologist whose field trips Parso ns financed . .. Ha re believes a great deal of scholarly work remains untapped in these leue rs. With the permission of J ohn's widow. he turned over all the Parsons correspondence. including any co rrespondence he had during the co urse of his research for the book, to the America n Ph ilosophical Society in Philadelphia, where they are now accessi ble to ot her scholars. Hare's po rtrait of Parsons reveals that while she did have advantages that minimi zed many d ifficulties other female scientist of her time faced . the fact of her gender - a nd the added demands of wife and mother it added to her role as scientist. in spite of her obstinate refusal to yield to them - placed psychic burdens on her. Wh ile ~are 's surface portrait indicates that Parso ns did not suffer many of the slings and arrows of outrageous sexism that hit her. female colleagues, a more in-depth pict-ure may revea l that she. too. in spik: of wealth and privilege. was not immune. 0 Senate F10m page 3 of the co ~miuee.

For most of us, it means New Orleans, and we envision warm nights, walking down cobblestone streets sur- ~, rounded by peach- and cream -colored bu i ldings with wrought -i ron rail ings. Around us, jazz music wails from open-doorea cafes, and minstrels play on the street, their instrument cases open for passersby to leave coins in. Riverboats cru ise the great Mississippi in the sultry summer night. A But the !ruth of the matter is that no one really knows where Dixieland mus1c really began. According to Ted Howes. host of the " Dixieland " program on Lunch Hour Music, Fr~days at Ooon , " The rea son New Orleans is credited with fhe stan of th1s mus1c is because most of the famous players came ou t o f there - Louis Armstrong , King Oliver. and Buddy Boll. There were a lot of other cihes that had tazz at the same 11me:· Other cities known for theu brassy, upbeat 1au were Ch•cago. New York . and Kansas C1ty "The New Orleans style is a marchi ng style music," explams Howes. " II has a two-beat rhythm and not many solos The Chicago style has a four-beat rhythm, sou nds more like swmg , and features solos. It's easy to identlfy those two JUSt by listening." The development of Dixieland music 1S hard to trace. An evol ution and mergtng of musical styles 'p receded it. Some music historians believe 1!S roots are the work songs of Slaves in the South in the early 1800's. From 1870to 1900, ragtime, brass marching bartds. and minstrels were popular, and thelf rhythm is also-cited as an influence on 'Dixieland. " Some think that brass bands came out of the pa tnotism of the Cw1l War," Howes points our. " We do know that in the late 1800's, mus1c out of Kansas City and the South was fast approaching the st yle we commonly call Dixieland." The term Oix1e Music was applied at the turn of the century to wb;lt we refer 10 today as New Orlea ns Jau. Th~ change in name fro m Dixie to Jazz occur1ed in 191G- 15, when the Original D1x1eland Jau Band (the first band to make a record of jau) appeared. The ODJB was an all white band, like others found in New Orleans, and because -iixieland ,appeared In thei r n-ame, ~s more general meaning was forgot ten as it came to be appl ied to 'W h•te Jazz..

NPR was cited for reporter Gjelten's series, " Population Issues in Mexico: Family Planning and Rapid Urbanization," which aired in September 1984 on the criticallyacclaimed daily newsmagazine All Things Considered. The firSfr.part of the awardwinning program, produced by Patty Neigh mond and senior editor John McChesney, focused on Mexico's commitment to lowering the country's birth rate through education and birth control programs. Gjelten examined the Mexican government's attempts to resolve economic and social prob1ems caused by the snarp increase in population, and the implications of Mexico'S'work on population issues for other Third World countries. The second segment provided an in-depth view of rapid population growth in Mexico City, now the largest Third World urban center with 17 million people. It was highlighted by on-site interviews with Mexico 's government officials , urban planning and environmental experts, and city residents.

One teacher who taught in El Salvador for 25 years shares with listeners her i nsights about the adjustments Salvadoran Child ren must make in a more structmed educational env1ronment. During the program she says. " Children in rural areas don't have notebooks, pencils. furnitu(e, and sometimes chalk . In the countryside, teachers are not allowed to travel through war zones, so children go without classes." • Adds Taft - Morales , " Many schools are closed because of the Salvado'ran c ivil war and 1n some cases by the army. when soldiers come to recru it boys wh ile attendIng classes. But even when schools are opened , classes are overcrowded, and children of many ages and grades are crammed into one classroom.

His jazz-flavored scores for " Mr. Lucky" and the pop- ' ular " Peter Gunn" series brought a new sound to television and films . Although he has ollen been asso· elated with fine jazz players, sitting at two pianos with Marian McPartland was a new~ nd pleasant experience. The team improvises with easy empathy on Mancini favorites like "The Pink Panther," " Days of Wine and Roses," and " Baby Elephant Walk ."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A hotly debated one. however .. .. .J Eleven years ago, the New York State ursing Association ( YSNA) suggesteri that all regi tered nurses enter their profession with a bachelor of science degree. The state nursing organjzation also arranged that an .. associate" nurse (which would be com parable to today's licensed practical nurse) could begin employment with an associate's degree. That suggestion. which YS;o.!A hoped would be implemented by law by 1985, has been countered with criticism and complaints from many sources. The issue. here, is personal and political. The oft-quoted argument is that the diploma nurse. the one prepared with three years of hospital train ing_, has more skills. and is a better bed side nurse. It's also said that these R. . 's are more reali stic, because they are well aware of the everyday dealings of their work environment. The baccalaureate nurse, however, is credited with having more knowledge of theory. Also. the different schools do not want to give up their right to educate the registered nurse. As it stands now in ewYork State, a nursing student can sit for the licensing examination after having completed a two-year associate's degree program, a three-yea r diploma program, or a four-year bachelor's degree program. The American Nursing Association. which will meet this J uly in Kansas City ... is scheduled to address the 1985 proposal also. · I he primary re~son YSNA advocates the 1985 proposal. said Martha Kemsley. UB clinical assi tant professor of nursing. who was president of Dist rict #I YS . A in 1980{81, is to standardize nursing education.

R. ., Ph.D .. associate dean of graduate nurse educati on at UB. Nursing. predominantly a woman 's profession. ha!!o always been considered good tra ining for a wife and mother. \Vomcn could work a~ nurses before they married and after they rai!l>ed their children . But now. she ~aid . students view nursi ng as a career. "More than any ot her profcs~ ion." Castiglia said , .. nursing ch:arly rcflccl.!l> what 's happening to women in society." She said her !'l tudcnt s want more autono my. more ability to advance;. more money, and more respect. "Students I deal with want to ad vance themselves. but also their profes~ion. " Castiglia said. During the last 15 years, she said. there • has been a push to develop a theoretical bcise for nursing. Nurses rcali1.c that to develop theory, they must conduct research. And to conduct research. they must pursue: a higher degree. Since 1969. UB's chool of Nursing has been preparing to offer a doctor of nursing science degree. If all goes well. UB should be granted the right to do this in 1986. The first nurse known to have earned a doctoral degree did so in 1927, but her doctorate was in psychology and counseling. It wasn't until 1959 that a doctoral program was offered by nursing schools. By 1983 , there were 27 such programs. T NURSING: The question is: how much education? R.-N.'s to hold a baccalaureate degree until the year 2035. Kemsley said . Because of their numbers - there are over 1.6 million R.N .'s in the United States - nurses have a tremendous potential impact on health care. Kemsley said . ..

In 1873, there were three hospital schools. By 1900, there were 432. BGH's nursing school, which has been open for over 100 years. will close in 1986, unless a court decisio n interferes. The Buffalo News has published stories stating that the school· is closing because of financial'losses, but. some R. N.'s say it's also because of the trC::nd in nursing toward higher education. In Buffalo, only Sisters of Charity Hospital and Millard Fillmore Hospital will offer diploma programs. Many UB nursing professors e nte red nursing as diploma graduates them·~e lves.

Several UB nursing professo rs were trained by Buffalo's hospital schools. Patricia Burns. R.N., M.S., director of the adult nurse practitioner program and project directo r of a $435.451 grant from the ational Institute on Aging to research urina ry stress incontinence. was graduated from the now defunct E.J . Meyer Memo ria l Hospital School of Nursing. Donna Juenker. coordinator of the R.N. track and project director of liB's satellite nursing program. was graduated with her diploma in 1956 from S isters of Charity Hospital School of Nursing. She received her master's degree in nursing education in 1965 from Columbia University. Juenker, like her students, saw the need for more education. She said the R. .'s who are returning to UB classrooms for the B.S. are doing so because they want to move up into better jobs, obtain their graduate degrees or develop their skills and increase their knowledge. Marlene Werner, R.N., Ed.D. , who was coordinator of the R.N. track from 1980-84, said many of the older R.N.'s saw that the qualifications for their jobs had changed ove r the years and that they now need a bachelor's degree to give the best of nursing care. Some. who have -sons and daughters in college, felt they, too, should have the opportunity to receive more education. And others, Werner said, divorced and forced to consider finances, turned to th e B.S. to get a better-paying position. By JILL-MA RIE ANOIA he Association of Council Membe rs and College Trustees of the State Uni versity of New York (ACMCT) announced strong support for the findings of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University in a press conference here last Friday. ''This report describes SUNY. th e nafion's largest public university, as one whose potential is largely unfulfilled one unable to provide ew Yorkers with 'ttie sa me benefits which other states derive fcom their premier public universities, .. said Rose Scoriiers, president of ACMCT. Sconiers also announced the changi ng of the ACMCT acronym to ..

The State Unive rsity Board of Trustees · has proposed legislation to restructure SUNY as a public benefit corporation. According to Sco niers, ACT supports this legislation and is committed to working for its adoption by the Legislature and its ultimate approval by Governor Mario Cuom o. The associat ion's campaign includes distribution of buttons imprinted wi th " ACT on the future ofSUNY." Sconiers T pinn~ o_ne of rhe first of rhese bull o ns on SA Prestdent Bob Heary.

She emphasized that UB, a campus that was singled out in the commission's report as o ne with great unrealized potential, should take the lead in d iscussing the commission's findings and generating support for them. .. Loca l legislators feel we have a good chance for passing so me legislation but no one is willing to co.mmit themselves to the idea of a public benefit corporation they arc afraid of just what such an animal is ... Sconiers said.

Sconiers said. Sconiers stressed the need to get the legislation passed during the current legislative session which will end in June. She maintained that if the commission's findiQgs a re not acted upon immediately. the movement for a restructuring of SUNY will become a lost cause. "Take this campaign a priorit y item, .. she urged. ''Action must be taken now."' 0 as Wang donation underwrites new center sheetfeeder.

We Americans have a tro ng An Open Let.ter: a disturbing cut in Women's Studies __; DEAR PROVOST GREINER AND PRESIDENT SAMPLE, We the undersigned facult y at SUNY / Buf· falo arc disturbed by Acting Dean Henry Sussman's refusal to maintain a full-time faculty position in Third World Women's Studies. Especially at a time when Albany has not cut the University's budget. we feel strongly that the level of suppon for Women's Studies should not be red uced. Acting Dean Sussman's downgrad ing of the present full-time position to half-time disrupts the development of the Third World Women 's St udies component - a vital new dimension of research and teachin_g on Jhis campus. h directl y contradicts the University's publicly announced co mmitment to Affirmative Action and the recruitment of minoritiC:s in facult y and staff hiring. Finally, a part-time position weakens the entire Women's Studies program when it will be initiating a new B.A. In recent years we have been·encouraged by the University's decision to build a q uality Women's Studies program at the graduate a nd undergraduate levels whi ch will have a significa nt impact on the entire _ UniversitY. Women' Stud ies now offers a B.A.. a nd M.A. thrOugh American St udies. and awaits approval of the American Studies Ph.D. from Albany. Yet aU th is growth in Women 's Studies ~as been planned without the allocation of additional resourcts. Moreover, ne,;;t year one of the program 's senior facult y will be away supported by a NEH f.:ellows hip, and anot~er expects to take a sabbatical in the spring. Th'erefore the proposed downgrading of the Third World Women's Studies position comes at a·critiCal time. We are concerned that Women's Studies' loss of 50 per cent of - t heir regular (~cull) ·lhrea tens the- progr:un 's survi,•al. A full-time f<tcu lt ,, in Third World \VomCn's St\ldi~ is. not si mply needed to meet the teaching and research require· ments of a graduate and undergraduate progra m. A rh ird Wo rld Women's Studies professor also pla ys a very speciQc role within the program that can not be a bsorbed by existing facUlty. Th is person develops and coordinates the Third World Women's Sturl'ies com ponent. a se ries of courses on minori ty Women in the U. S. and women internationally. These courses have steady and strong enr-ollments a nd have earned our ca mpus national recognitio n as a pio neer in this new intellectual field . Having a Third World Women's Stud ies com· ponent ensures that we exami ne wome n and ge nder from the vanLage point of different racial and cultural groups. In addi· tion. si nce the re are so few mi nority wo men faculty on th is cam pus (perhaps five in all of Academic Affairs). this Third World Women's Stud ies professor makes an enorm ous co ntritiution to t'l~e University's goal or recru itment and rete.•tion of ma'nority student s. We know from our e,;;pe r ien c~ that having a professor from a minority group acts as a role model fo r min ority women students pursu ing intellectual achievement a nd actively contributes to their academic 'advise ment. She also devcl· ops and mainta ins ties between the Universit y' and thl" minority communities in Bu ffalo. We view this position a.~ in valua ble to Women's Studies and to l.be Uni ve rsit y as a whole:.. We ex pect that in a research universit)• such as o ur own. which is striving for excellence. that it wou ld be retai ned as a full-time position. During this year Chancellor Wh arto n. President Sample and members of the Pro vosl's Office have publicly stated their commitment to Affirmative Act ion and the rec ruitment a nd. retention of minority facu lty. staff and students. It is hard to und erstand how this policy is being impleme nted by t he decision not to fully ·repl ace this Third World Women's Studies facult y A campus community newspaper published each Thursday by the Division of Public • Aff•lrs, State Unlnrslly of New York at Buf- f•lo.

A fu ll-time positi on in Third· World Women 's St udies involves no new reso urces or lines. merely a conti nu ation of existin g support. The gap between stated ·u ni vCrsity policy and actio n fosters cynicism throughout the enti re University and increases frus trati on in o ur minority communities.

Tirnpane. former director of 1he National Institute of Education. was the keynote . speaker at President Steven T Sample's invitational conference on enhancing the professional natUre of teaching. Western New York school superintendents and secondary school pnncipals allended . ...There's nothing worse .than being ignored," Tim pane said. For the past 10 or 15 yeari;, education has suffered just that fate at the hands of state and federal governments - it just couldn't get on the public's agenda, he said . . While a variety of reports d a "whole shelf" full of books that have c e out in the pasttwo·year.; may have see ed !itt just-another round of criticism, the have had the salutary effe,91 of shifting the agenda and putting the focus on education, be noted. Opinion polls in this country reOeet the deehne in the popularity of education from 1974 io 1983, with the popularity. slipping every yeaF, Timpane said . about every state gave new money to education this year. amounting to S l 2 billion across the nation. he noted . . "For once. the Stars arc in the right position for us ... he said. " We'Ve garne red financial dividends from the repons ... Some have said that educators have only 18 months to take advantage of the popularity of the issue. Timpane. however. doesn't expect it to subside. "Th~ window of opportunity will not slam shut." The demographic a nd labor trends contributing to the recent renewed attenti~n are long-term. he master's degree preferred, to serve 150 clients a day, preparing five products a day. Typing, social work, a nd law enforcement skills arc needed . The job is 47 hours a week, with no lunch or coffee breaks. The pay starts at $12.000. with a potential ot $27,000 after only 14 year.;. What the mythical ad points out, he said, is that the teaching job has become more difficult. the constraints are becoming greater. and incentive is lacking. Women and minorities • have been allracted by other fields, meaning that ed ucation "" has lost its shehcred market "But we have made the job unattractive just when we need more and better teachers." ut during 1983-84, the slippage of that entire decade was regained. even B though nothing had changed in the schools. About 280 education commissions, almost six per state, have been set up in the past two years, he said . Almost all of the ..state oft he sta te" messages in the nation for 1984 mentioned education in the fir.;t page or even the first paragraph. .. 1 would have defied you1o find even a mention of education in them two years ago." Tim pane stated. All this attention is coming at an opport une time - at the end of a recessjp n. Money can again be given to educaliOn without having to rai se taxes. Just - MICHAEL TIMPANE noted . Because of the age ot teachers, many wiJI be reliring. A current s honage of math and science teachers may turn into a general teacher shonage. impane discussed the plight of the teacher today using a fictional want ad. The ad asked for a college graduate. T Phi Beta Kappa taps 70 he local Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has elected 70 undergraduate students to membership in Phi Beta Kappa this year.

Edu- e offered .. an array of policies for an array of problems." One is higher pay for teachers. The present situation is onr of low pay with a slow rate of increase. Only by leaving the. classroom for jobs in administration or elsewhere can teachers make more.. Timpane suggested a plan involvi ng both financial and professional incentives that allow teachers to expand their roles. Areas of specialization, such . as ''teacher-men tor, •• "master teacher •., .. teacher-researche r. "' or .. teacher- curriculum developer." can be added to · tCachers' options. This way. an individual wouldn 't have to stop being a teacher to pursue other goals or ..be more highly paid. Another idea ~s to improve pre-service and in-service training... It 's clearly an overlooked and necc ary reform," he said. There's also an emerging sq ueeze on principals and administrators. Timpane told his audience. ... ) regret to r:eport that you're already at risk ... he said . H Cutting back on administrators is far ' and away the most popular choice on the part of the public When it comes to savi ng money in sc hools. tie noted . Combined with trends such as the growing autonomy of the sc hool building and the burgeoning and expanding role of teachers. pressure is lik,ely to increase on local administrators. An-other trend is the new model of mana~ement that's emerging from the Amencan busi ness community. The topdown , self-co ntained manageme nt practices of 20 years ago arc disappearing in favor of deccntraliz.ed authority with calion has 10 compc le wi rh lhe Jabor more market at-large and has the additional di sadva ntage that teachers· salarias are well below th ose of other jobs where a college degree is required . ..

There's more opportunity to place the profession of education on new and higher footing than has been the case in the last 15 or 20 years." Timpane summ~~ 0 dele8aling.

Grants-i n-aid are "pursuant to Congress' broad discretion to spend for the general welfare and co mmon defense.··as stipulated by Article I. Section 8 of the Constitution, Alben reminded , but - he added - legal challenges are beco ming more numerous dUe to restrictive conditions set forth in grant programs. "As a consequence."

"and federal monies under them ~o n stitute about one-quarter ofthe annual ex penditures of both state and local governments." Notwithstanding d iscussion of less directive federal grants. such as revenue shari ng and block grants. most aid programs remain categorical. with narrowly defined undertakings and detailed conditions. It is th e proliferation of categorical grants si nce 1960. Albert observed, "that · has rendered them the principal instru- · ment of federal influence over social services and urban affairs." For many years. tbe UB law professor pointed out. inter-governmental grant relationships were "understood to ba administrative. cooperative , profes ~ sio nal. and donative ... "Consequently." he added, "federal judges declined.to intervene in grievances founded on grant programs. This aloof-. ness markedly changed with the advent of anti-poverty litigation in the late 60s, • when courts acknowledged that private beneficiaries of public welfare programs were ·entitled to relief against state ·and local laws and practices inconsistent with federal grant conditions.- L he resUlting judicial ilecisions, T " wh ile providing a novel and potent injunctive re medy." broadly uphold federal goals and co nditio ns, Albert pointed out .

Congress has further reduced the differe nce between grants and regu lations through the use of new grant-in-aid directives. For instance. he explained, states may be required to su pplement welfare payments in order to remain eligible for Medicaid grants. Similarly: he added, Congress has tied the availability of federally insured mortgages to state participation in flood control programs and has tied highway grants to state adoption of a federal minimum drinking age and to state enforcement of the federal 55 m.p.h. highway speed limit. ..

A s America prepares to observe the U.S. Constitution's bicentennial in 1987, two UB faculty members find themselves ·involved in a project design to serve as a lasting tribute to this natio 's blueprint for dt mocratic government. Richard E. Ellis, Ph.D .. a pro sor of Americao history. and Lee A. A rt, J .D .• A law professor, are among or more scholars, nationwide. invited to contribute mat<rial for what will be known as "The Encyclopedia of the American Constitution." The encyclopedia project is the brainchild of Leonard Levy, a Pulitzc:r Prizewinning historian. Levy, chairman of the History Department of Claremont Graduate School in California, is compiling the four-volume encyclopedia for publication in 1987 by MacMillan. Assisting Levy as editors are Kenneth L. Karst, University of California-School · of Law, and Dennis J . Mahoney of the Claremont Political Science Department. B ~s Ellis related in an interview that his contribution will consist of brief biographies of nine of the nation's earliest Supreme Court justices. including ·both ... important and Insignificant ... jurists. Albert. on the other hand. is delving into federal grants-in-aid as they affect cons!)tutional rights. Meanwhile. in an unrelated development. plans are in the mak.ing for a twoday conference in Buffalo. October 2526, on "Concepts of the Constitution: A Bicentennial Dialogue." U B is one of several sponsors. Ellis makes it clean hat he cherishes the U.S. Constitution as one of the greatest governing documents ever written. But he's equally convinced that the Constitution, as it approaches its 200th birthday, must be rev1sed in some areas to keep pace with 20th Century social changes. Since being submitted to the original 13 states for ratification in 1787, the Constitution has been amended 26 times. The first 10 amendments were attached to the document as America's Bill of Rights for the protection of iodividuals. The newest ratified ameodment, the 26th, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. It was ratified in 1971. A pending 27th amendment, adopted by Congress in 1972 as the Equal Rights Amendment, still lacks the apl;'roval by three-founhs of the ratification. · . While laud in& the Constitution for iu •central set of values," Ellis maintained that constitutional la.w lacks clarity in defining the powers of the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, hesuggested, "the courts tend ' to arrogate more and more power•ut~~ey take it upon themselves to "run tltiop," based on Supreme Court decisions.

He was · impeached in 1805, but never was convicted. · On the "insignificant" side of the coin: Duval is described by historian Ellis as a person suffering from deafness who "sat silently on the bench for 25 years with no impact."

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

In Europe and the United States, there are enormous surpluses of food Waldhe~m said: Some. but at eno'ugh, is sh1pped to th e developin 'countries. But State University of.N ewYork Too hot? Wait ~nother 1,000 years · By tO NIE OSWALD STOFKO f you think the Blizzard of 77 was bad (or '85, for that matter), just wait another one or two thousand years. We'redue for another ice age. Ice ages and a possible method of preventing them are interests of Michael Ram , associate professor of physics and astronomy at UB. He talked about them recently as part of a lecture series on physics in the '80s for high schoo l juniors and seniors sponsored by the Department of Physics and Astronomy. In an ice age, a_sheet of ice grows during a period of 10 or 20 years and remains in place for thousands of years. Then, in another relative ly quick period of a decade or two, the sheet disappears. Knowing that the eanh gets its heat from the sun, the question arises: what could turn the solar heat ing on and off so · quickly? Well, some argue th at a change in the orbit of the eanh could produce such an effect. But Ram rej ects that because it would take much longer th an 10 yea r~.fo r the earth's orbit to change. . Instead, he favors a theory by Sir Fred Hoyle. a famous astronomer and astrophysicist who was a distinguished lecturer at UB in 1969. This relatively unknown theory involves a subs1ance wi th the intriguing name of "diamond dust." . To get an idea of how this whole th ing works. picture a cloud chamber filled wi th water vapor in a laboratory. Ram said. If you shine a light into the chamber, the droplets are dark. If you cool the chamber below the freezing point of water. the droplets don' f reel.e because there is no dust in the chambe'r ar·ound which· ice pan.icles can form. he sai d . The droplets a re su percooled. Lower the tem perat ure all the way to lights up. he said. The crystals arc called "diamond dust'' because they reflect light so brilliantly. ow suppose a very th in layer of dia.mond dust formed in the upper atmosphere. Any sunlight shining o n the eanh would be reflected away from the eanh and the canh would cool. But how co uld such diamond dust be generated? I minus40.degr~c:s<:en t ig"!!)ea~p-\l>~~ lets suddenly freeze and the chamber iamond dust occurs naturaHy Over the poles, Ram noted. Other places don 't get cold enough because of latent heat from the formation of clouds. After water is evaporated from the oceans. it condenses and fo rms clouds. In condensatio n·, heat is given off, helping to warm the atmos)Jhtre. So to create diamond dust . evaporation from the oceans would have to be restricted. Hoyle has calculated that there · is enough heat in the ocean to keep evapOration going for ten years, Ram explained. " If yo u cou ld somehow produce a cooling of the ocean for 10 y~ars. there'd be no l'atent heal from cloud format ion in the upper atmosphere. and . just like that: diamond dust would form." Ram said . .. The idea is simple. Just coo~ the ocean. But hov.1 would nalUrc do that1" Dust that gets into the upper atnlOSphere rcflcci~ light and cools the earth and iu oceans. Volcanic eruptions produce dus t, bul not enough. Ram ~aid . According to Hoyle. it would takr an asteroid that b more than-1300 meten. (about (.000 feet) in diameter tQkick up enough dust. This is a reasonable explanation. Ram contends. Although it doesn't happen often. asteroi d ~ this size have. indeed, hit the earth.

As an example of how politics gets mixed up with hunger, he cited El~iopia . . A relief operation was already gomg .on when it was noticed that the government had reservations about the U and privat.e agencies, The...dispute was on how people should be fed . The government had wanted to move the people to the provinces where th e agricu lture was better, butt he people wanted to stay. Waldheim said .

From page 1 But once an ice age starts, how does' it end? With another asteroid. according to _) Hoyle. This time a metallic asteroid, not a rock asteroid. is needed . Again, the dust would be lofted up into the• atmosphere. But this met allic du st would tend to absorb heat from th e sun and reOect linle. The. atmosphere would heat up, melting the diamond dust. Radiation from th e sun could penetrate and stan heating the oceans. In about 10 years, the ice age would disappear. s there any brilliant idea for preventing an ice age? Looki ng at th e frequency of ice ages, we're due ro r another one in about 2,000 years. Ram poin ts out. Asteroids are dark bod ies that we can't see unt il they hit us , he said. So prevention of asteroid collisions is not et viable I ~ olution . The s olution proposed )>y Hoyle is to slowl y, over a period of abou t 1,000 years, heat up th e oceans. · The top 500 meters (abou t I ,650 fee t) of the oceans have enough heat for ten years of evaporation, Ram -said . Below that, the ocean is cold . If the cold water i brought up to .the surface. the sun could heat it. It would have to be d one slowly because cold surface water courd create havoc with the air cUrrents. he said. Hoyle has calculated that warming a radius of 2 kilometers (about IV. miles) a year, for a period .of I ,000 years, would give the oceans an extra 10-yearsuppl y of heat. This extra su pply of heat in the oceans wou ld allow evaporation to ·take place even when the sun is-blocked by the asteroid dust. Cloud formation would occur, giving off heat, warming the atmosphere, and preventing the formation of diamond dust. To bring the cold water to the surface using a pump powered by oil or electricity would not be pral:tical, especially since there's no rush - we've got 1,000 years. There are. however. machines that can operate on a difference in temperature: wh~.b.~ of cou~s.t, .2£i:urs in the ocean.

Ram said . · Hoyle has calculated that 50 million yea rs ago, there was a 30-year supply of heat in the ocean, Ram said, and that did not disturb the Antarctic ice sheet. So, if we created an extra 20-year suppl y of heat , the Arctic ice might di sa ppear, but it wouldn 't disturb the Antarctic. he said. am highlighted this icc age theory for the high school students because of its simplicity and be(!a use it's easy to understand . l;xplariatiOns of theories on other climate issues such as .. nuc lear winter" are punctuated by words like .. might be, " "could be" and "maybe." R In general, the scenarios pred ict th at fires following a nuclear explosion would send up a plume of sm~e of uniform th ick ness to cover the area from a bout 30 degrees onh latitude to 70 degrees North latitude. Ram said. It would block out the sun in that area. "But will this really happen th is way?" he questioned . " Is this the way the smoke wiU behave? Or will it be ·patchy? If it is patchy, the eanh will get some sunlight." Going back to the ice age theory, Ram pointed o ut that as t-he d ia mond dust blocks out the.sun. the eanh cools more rapidly than the oceans. The diffe rence in temperatures causes a great deal of turbulence and thunderstorms. Some people llrink th is kind of turbulence would work to drive away the smoke in the nuclear winter scenario, he said . He pointed o utthatthe Blizzard of 77 was caused basically by a warm patch of water off the coast of California. These are the kinds of details that are too small to be included in these scenarios, he said. Ram noted that someone stri~ing a match in a dry forest is a small thing, but it can have far-reaching consequences. Or, as Edward N. Lorenz, a meterologist from MIT once mused , is it possible that a butterfly Oappin~ its wings in Peru can cause a hurricaoe .m the Midwest? "None of these things arc simple," Ram summariz.ed. _ "! to his downfall. " Don't expect an immediate change. It will take at least a year before Gorbachev can establish himself as leader of the cOuntry." ·. The Geneva talks afe not an immediate solution to the arms control problems. Waldheim said. The opinions on each side are too fa~ apan. "The US ha decided to go with th e space i niti ~ tive. " Waldheim said . ..The Russia ns are scared . They want to use the talks to avoid the Star Wa rs idea bei ng implemented ." Waldheim said he talked to a scientist who told him that the system co uldn~ be ready fo r 20 or 30 years.

The big powers use their vetoes to para· Jyze actions, while smaller countries often use the · UN to their advantage-, then ignore its resolutions, he contends.

"We should co nt in ue to supp ort the U because there is no b'ettCr alterna0 tive," he advised. Trustees will dispose of holdings in certain companies operating in South Africa Under a new policy adopted Wednesday by the Board of Trustees, the State University of New York will move to dispose of its fmancial holdings in several firms doing business in South Africa that fail to meet acceptable standards of social conduct. At the same time; the Trustees urged the United States Governmen~ to consider imposing economic sanctions on South Africa or to take other actiOns that would clearly demonstrate this country's abhouence of apartheid. The new policy adopted by the Board requires that investments in only those companies receiving the highest ratings in complying with the MSullivan Principles~ be retained in the University's investment portfolio. Companies that do not achieve these ratings would be advised that SUNY intends to divest its holdings. The Sullivan Principles arc a set of gUidelines U.S. companies in South Africa are requested to voluntarily adopt to ensure that wage and employment prac.tices for their black employees are equal to that for white workers, regardless of the severe~trictures of apartheid that apply to that nation's black population as a whole. Signatories to the Princijlles arc evaluated each year on their performance by an independent finn. . MCompanies in compliance should be vigorously encouraged to contmue promotion of racial equality and to enhance coq>orate efforts to oppose all provisions of South African apartbeid policies,~ uid the policy statement reconunend.ed to the-Board by its Committee on Budget, Investment and Capital Program. · Non-signatories, and those firms that fail to show demonstrable progress, should not be continued in the portfolio after receiving due warning, according to the policy, which was adopted by the Board. A review of the University's investment portfolio discloses holdings in 17 U.S. fllltls in South Africa, worth approximately$ I 4,000,000. Under the Board's new policy, University officials s111d 4 companies, involving investments worth $3,100,000, apparently would not meet the new criteqa of progressive com. pliance with the Sullivan Principles. After appropriate notice, they said, SUNY would move to disinvest in the firms unless they have shown that the evaluauon of their cooduct was iti error. The Committee statement went on: Mlbe Committee reiterates the puamountimponance of prudence in making investment decisions. It nonetheless recognizes that investments in compantes doing business in South Africa raise ul)ique concerns becausc.of the substantial influence corporate activities in that country can·have on social co.nditions. The Commi~ee believes the University must act as a responsible investor ~~, .in all appropnate ways, demonstrate heightened concern for corporate actmnes as they affect social conditions in South Africa. -• Mlbe task before us was not to judge the South African government,~ the Trustees report concluded. Mlbat already bas been done emphatically by_ free peoples everywhere.

For every book sold, one dollar will be !liven to th e Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation. By PAULA DE MICHELE here can you get a feeling of warmth, of family, of history, and a lot of great rec1pes in one place? ¥ou11 find them all in Recipes Old And New, a personalized cookbook compiled by -members of U B's Purchasing DepanmenL The idea of producing a cookbook evolved over an extended period; it was a labor of love for department personnel, who have been friends for years_ Rec(pes editor Sandi Russo explained that the cookbook was a well thought-out idea whose ti me had come. "The women in this dep artment are all very close." she says. " We would go to W each other's birthday parties, shqwersthings like that, and everyOne would bring along her favori t ' ish. We'd ta lked about doing a cook boo for years. and now we\'e finally done it. The bob k itself is an eclecll comjiilatron of 198 old-fashioned delicac· s. from appe tiZ:ers and maj.A di shes to desserts and beverages. Russo articulates the pride she and her co-workers s hare in the book . "'\Ve're o bviously not in thecategcry of a Juli a Childs, "she says. "But I th ink th at what makes thi s book s pecial is the fact that we all know each other: the book represe nts an extension of ourselves. Th e recipes have been pas ed around among us for yea rs. and some of them are very old. We thoug ht it would be nice 10 share them with o thers.·· ecipes is not just a cookbook. a it R possesses a s pec ial charm. part of which is represented in the slightly offbeat way the · dishes have been nam~d .

" But we just couldn\ think of anything beuer 10 call it." Anolher unu sually dubbed recipe was passed along by Oklahoma native Vcrgie Oettin~er . It is the mysterious-Aunt Bill's Brown Candy" - I he mys<ery being jus< who Aunt Bill is. " I honestly d o n'! know," s he s hrugs. "My mother jus< always called it Aunl Bllrs Brown Cand y. and a s fa r as I kn o w, ~hat's what everyo ne in Oklahoma ca lls it.She went on to explain that the food editors of the Ladies Hom e Journal. who published the recipe in th is yea r's C hris<. mas issue, were al so at a loss to iden tify the elusive Aunt.

N 'Dry mouth' is the concern of a new clinical effort n some primitive co untries. th e person accused of a crime who exhibits a dry mouth duri.tg interrogation is declared guilty. While more civilized countries don't resort to this crude .. lie detector, "chronic dry mouth or xerostom ia is a common, annoying problem of the oral cavity, says Dr. Ahmed Uthman. · Professor of oral medicine. Dr. Uthman is co-director of the Salivary Dys' function Clinic which has Qpencd.at the School of Dental Medicine to aid diagnosis and treatment of dry mouth. Frequently associated with radiation of head and neck, dry mouth is also a symptom accompanying diabetes mellitus, aging, and an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren "s Disease. Dry mouth can also be an unpleasant side effect of medications used to treat cancer, high blood p~essure, allergies, and Parkinson 's I DtSCase,. "Saliva which is inadequate asacleansing agent because of its quality or quantity can lead to dental decay, gum inflammation. and gingivitis by altering the bacterial population of the mouth." says Dr. Uthman. Differential diagnosi s of the co ndition is especially important so treatment will address the underlying cause and not just the ~ymptom. Patients with dry mouth, no matter what the cause. are encouraged to sip on water or sugar-free, ca~bonated, decaffeinated beverages, and to suck sugarless mints, lemon rind, or cherry. pits . ..The sucki ng action can aid saliva production in those who have a less severecase."says Dr. Uthman. Patients are also instructed to brush theirtccth11t least twice daily , and to usc dental Ooss and a toothpaste containing Ouoridc. ReJ:ul ar visits to the dentist are encouraged . n artificial saliva may also be used by patients to alleviate dry mouth, say~ UB oral biologist Dr. Michael Levine. But. he notes. these products, purchased over-the-counter. are less than ·satisfactory. .. Since saliva's complex co mposi ti on has preven ted researchers from duplicat ing it in the laboratory, substitutes currently on the market hear little resemblance to the real thing," Dr. Levine points out. ~ The tdeal anificial saliva, he notes. should have a protective and cleansing ·function, be long-lasting and affordable, have a pleasant taste. and act locally in · the mouth. · . "There's at least one experimental drug develo~cd for other medical problems which lias the side effect ofinen:ased salivation," he adds.

Tin Han. who serves as associate chief cancer research clinician at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, recently discovered the new condition. He calls it benign monoclonal 8-cell lymphocytosis, or BMBL for sho n . His descri ption of the condition appeared in the July issue of Blood (Vol. 64, No. 1). Of all first diagnoses of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 25 per cent. or approximately 1,700 per year, are identified as having the early stage (Stage 0) of the usually lethal disease. Dr. Tin Han found that roughly half of such patients that he tested actually bad BMBL. This ... ,_, ,,- -~ 22 found in true leukemia , but do not possess any o ther signs of leukemia, such as counts . Physicians do not normally treat patients at this stage. While BMBLresembles the early stage of true CLL, Tin Han has identified certain tendencies associated with BMBL patients, besides the optimistic prognosis. one of the tested BMBLpatients bad abnormalities, while one third of Stage 0 CLL patients whose disease advanced to later stages did .

Serum immunoglobulin levels in BM BL patients were normal or slightly depressed in all but o ne patient (who had slightl y elevated levels).ln contrast, CLL patients tended-to have much lower levels of this su bstance. "To avoid giving a misleading diagnosis, doctors should order a cytogenetic stud y with all StageO ~atient s,"Tin Han states ... If the chromosomes are normal , chances are favorable the condition will have a ben ign course; if abnormalities are found, a poor prognosis and diagnosis of early stage CLL can be given."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Accordingly, Kalay is also examining the CAD ossue from the stand· point of geometric modeling, a mathem- atical specialty and the focus of his Ph.D. work at Carnegie-Mellon. He ex plains: ..This is an area in which we try to model real-world artifacts in the co mputer, thro ugh the use of mathemati- cal symbols.

V1evvpoints Academic novels Will no author. every portray profs as they really are? . B By PHILIP ritish and America noveTists have long been wrin g about professo;:s. Saul Bellow, Kingsley Amis. Mary Mcurthy, Vladimir Nabokov and many others have looked at homo academicus. usually wi)h a rather jaundiced eye. In the 1970s. Alison Lune. who teaches 6nglish at Cornell, wrote a series of novels about professors. including o ne rnre War Between the Tates) that was made into a rather unsuccessful motion pitlure. In general. academics have not come off well in these n O\~ ets. They are portrayed as bumblers. spending most of their time thinking non-academic th oughts or. heaven forbid, jumping into bed with students, coHeagues, or the spouses of colleagues. Administrators. when· they appear in fictional form. are similarly dopey and are frequently seen as Philistines as well as bunglers. One wonders why so many novelists have so many bad things -to say about the professoriate. Why are there more novels about professors than abou t plumbers, auto mechanics or corporate executives, although it way well be that advertising executives and corporate officers are catching up! At present, the best fiction about academics comes from the pen of Britis h novelist (and professor of modem English literature at the University of Birmingham in England) David Lodge. His books are amusing, extraordinarily well written, and catch the nuances of aspects of academic life, even if they are portrayed in caricature. Lodge's newest novel. Small Worlds. deals with the stratosphere of international academic conferences - an unlikely topic for a novel. Lodge peoples his conferences with every type of academic jet setter who ever existed , and probably a few who don't exist. Everyone is either lusting after the UNESCO Chair of Literary Criticism (which pays a huge sum for doing absolutely nothing) or after fellow academies of the oppo ite sex (or in a few cases the same -sex). The book startS out at a dreary litera ry conference at one of Britain's more unpleasant new provincial uni\'ersi ties. It ts populated by the usual academic zoo of conference goers - hOlie r-thantho u big name professo rs. sleC py provi ncial acad emics. a few attracti\'c fe m:t.le graduate students. a nd an array of oth ers. The main protagonists are there: Professor"Morris Zapp, a prototypical American jet-set academic from Euphoric State University (Berkeley). Dr. Philip Swallow, a self-effacing and not -too-productive British profes~or and Mr. Persse McGarrigle. a totally innocent young Irish lecturer who engages in a world-wide search for a beautiful American graduate student from conference to conference for the rest of the book . The other conferences are more classy - but similarly amusing. Morris Zapp is always giving papers on "the end of criticism'" and other topics. Philip Swallow goes on :r lecture tour in Turkey, where knowledge of English literature is rather limi ted but enthusiasm seems to be great. Our heroas. perhaps they should more appropriately be called anti-heroes. encoun ter virtually e~ery beast in the academic zoo while jetting around the world . avid Lodge ·s earlier. book about academics. Changin!f Places. features the same two protagonists, Morris Zapp and Philip Swallow. who are involved in an exchange professorship between Euphoric State. where Swallow lands in the midst of the student turbulence of the 1960s and the University of Rummidge in England, where Morris Zapp discovers a comatose English department and proceeds to be offered its headship. Both of our heroes have affairs with each other's wives during the course of their visi tin1 professorships. They also encounter a full array of the academic lunacy of both Britian and the United States. In both of these books. David Lodgt uses slightly_exaggerated aspects of academic life to paint very amusing portraits of academicsljn two coun tri es He plays no favorites - his comments are JUSt as biting about British university life as about American. English un iversities are portrayed as sleepy places where salaries arc low and no one does much of an ything. American highe r education. in contrast. is frenetic. direct ionic s. and the acad emi cs arc in volved in publishing o r perishing. Not only a rc these boo ks amusing. ni<:ely ·writtc.n. and richly nuanced . they also provide some insights into academic life on both sides ofllf'c.~ t lanti c. We can recognize all too many of the -characters we encounter regularly in our uni versities. Their characteristics are exaggerated , but that makes them all the more sill y. Unlike in man y academic novels. the students are not spared .

Confrontations with st ud ent radicals on both sides of the ·ocean ·are more abs urd than serious. In Britain the ' encounters are more civilized and involve s maller numbers. In America. mass demonstrations are the norm. Lodge·s typical British academic is so l~id-back and part of the system that virtually nothing seems to happen. There is little scholarship being done and Lodge ponrays the much praised .. tut orial .. system as nothing more than . a glorified bull-session. Somehow, Oxford and umbridge professors have more status. but do not seem to do much more. American professors seem to be a more productive lo t. but there i~ also a good deal of craziness in the American universities. Zapp is your jetsetting academic. writing a book a year and tossing off articles while o n airplane nights. There are also the usual sta~le of worried assistant profesSors trymg to get tenu're, and of, co urse. a good deal of wife-swapping, etc. For example. Morris Zapp's wife comes out of seclusion to write a feminist bestselling novel. divorce her husband. and join the .. movement." In contrast. Philip Swallow's British wife remains relatively faithful. N?yels _about profcsso~s have a long tradtlaon m Anglo-Amencan fictio n. These are two of th e best, at least in terms of providing a humorous account of Anglo-Ame rican academics. The contrast between Britain and the Unit· ed States adds to the attraction of the books and provides some interesting comparative perspectives. David Lodge is definitely a master of the genre. Hi' portraits are sti nging and his writing .. style amusing. Although the plots aT< slightly fantastic, even by the standard' of modern university life, one is pulled along by the constant humorous si tuations. Perhaps we sho uld reconcile our· selves that ·n o novelist will eve r port ra~ professors as we really are: hard work· mg. serious, sober individuals devoted to the schola rly life and research and totally uninvolved with academic polities or hanky-panky. We need to leave a realistic portrait to the researche rs of htgher education - the}. certainly, can be counted on to treat us as we deserve to be treated - with respect, honor and j ustice. Unfortunately, no one will read their work. 0 David Lodge, Small Worlds. New York: Mac millan. 1984. 339 pp. $15 95 David Lodge, Changing Places.

One is the 'long c:Onfiiu(ment of the infamo us Marquis de Sade to the lunatic asylu m of Charenton, where he staged plays. The other is Charlotte Corday's 1793 lcilling of French revolutionist Jean- Paul Marat. Maratl Sade is not historical drama. but rathe r, as o ne writer puts it, .. total theatre." It is "philosophically problemat ic, visually terrifying, it engages- the eye, the ear and the mond with every imaginable dramatic device, technique and stage picture, even including song and dance." The meeting of Sade and Marat is entirely imaginary. Writes Weiss: " What in terests me in bringing together Sade and Marat is the confli~ between individualism carried to ex treme le ngths and the idea of a political a nd social upheaval. Even Sade knew the Revolution to be necessary: his works are one si ngle attack on a corrupt ruling class. He flinched however from the violent methods of the progressives and, like the modern advocate of a third approach, fell between two stools .... Director Evan Parry says the set and lighting design of Gvozden M. Kopa ni will convey the se nse of a .. uni versal institutio nal environment." In many ways, the patients of Charenton arc "caged animals," subject to being paraded, circus-like, before curious visi tors to the asylum. During the late I 8th cen tu ry. Parry adds, .. insane people were considered animals. In fact , the play within a play in Mara/ I Sade is very representative of events that would take place at that time:· Coulmier, a character in Weiss' play_ and the actual director of the asylum. "was well known for inviting members of the beau monde to 'soirees· at Charenton." As for the play's political overtones, Parry ~ays that Weiss. a Marxist, ... is writing a play about revolution in which the patients clearly represent an oppressed cla:ss. And , to some extent, the play does advocate revolution ... Ye1 , emphasizes Parry, Weiss has also included another poi nt of view. that of the jaded Sade, a libertine and author of licentious novels. who lived fro m 1740 to 1814. Charged with numero us sexual offenses. he spent a total of27 yCarS of confinement in several institutions, including the Bastille, the dungeon at Vincennes, and at Charenton. The re- are hopeful notes in the play, including the umon of previously isolated individuals in raw a nd fre nz.ied community. -More importantly, "for every . character in the play, the re IS a journey of discovery,"says Parry. "This is especially true for the patients ... However, the pessimism of the play is pervasiVe, supporting Weiss· apparent co ntention that "'unless we are led by people of extremely high ideals. the revolution can go very bad , "'in Parry's word s. Marat, one of the ablest and yet most vilified of the Montagnard deputies. was such a figure, says the UB director. a o ensure that the audience docs not lose its concentration, Parry is including only a five-minu te break between the two acts. The set will literally cage the acto rs, and will mirror the horrible enclosure of 20th cen tury concen tration camps. along with some reference to Charenton as a n 18th cen tury locale. Parry hopes to foster the illusion that audiences are actually witnessi ng theatri cs directed by Sade, and not by him. The so ngs in Mara/ I Sade have been set to mu sic by William G,~nta for this producti on. His brother, Thomas Gonta of California, has com- . posed Muzak-like incidental music, in keeping wi th the stark instituli onal setung.

The interest of Charles Garverick, I Ph.D., psychologist in the School of . Dental Medicine, whose son Bryan was injured several years ago, led to the group's first meeting which attracted more than a dozen UB scientists. Represented in the group which met . March 19 were researchers from anatomical sciences; physiology; electrical and computer and industrial engineerin~; pharmacology and therapeutics; rehabilitation medicine; orthopaedic surgery, and physica l therapy and exercise science. Frank Mendel, Ph.D .; who chaired the meeting, says the group welcomes virtually anyone in the academic and industrial communities who has an in terest in fwtbering research in paralytic disorders - whatever the cause. "Few of us actually had had contact with each other prior to the meeting," he says, "but there's obviously a great deal of interest in exploring the possi bility of col- laborative research." · Prospective goals ol the group, says Mendel, an associate prOfessor of anatomical sciences, are to f.cilitate commun ication and resource sharing, and to serve as a forum for development of research ideas and informatio n on fu~d­ i ng sources. The researchers represent .a, wide variety of interests and expertise, Mendel points out. SOme are interested in biochemical, cell u lar or physiological aspects of the nervous system or its components; others are interested in develo pment of electrical or other devices or medications which would stimulate paru oft he nervous system; some may be more concerned with the psychological aspects of the paralyzed patient or therapeutic measures which could be used in treatment of various forms ciJ paralysis. "The list is endless of the-various and separate scientific interests which would be needed, for instance, to plan a largescale mult idisciplinary gra nt , .. says Mendel.

Fox, Willbern run in Boston Marathon John Fox. assistant for University Financial AnaJysis. and David Willbern. associate c:ssor of English. both ran in the Boston Marat hon. Monday. April 15. It was the first run in Boston for both but each had d ifTerrnt moth•atioll'for tntering the 2()..mile. 385-yard race. Fox had three goals: a realistic one based On past experience. a medium goal based on good performance. and a dream goal. The 60-dcgree weather forced him to revise his expectat io ns and ' after seven miles he reponed that ""all proj«ted goals ~rr right out the window.- The crowd s cheered him o n to a 3-hour/ 40-minute finishing time. For Fox. running th~ marathon was the culminat ion of a training program which h~ began in December; His self-designed fitness routine included three stages to build endurance. strength . and speed . Prior t O the marathon, Fo x ran 10..15 mi:es dail)' and 18·23 miles o nce a ·week. Willbern pan icipated in Monday's maratho n to " run through it not to race it ... He was not physically prepared to run the long d istance but he counted on the "'o v.rds to draw him tb the fin ish line. His desire ""'as simply to pan icipate in a big cit)' marathon; he was not concerned about his finishing time. Running is- more about long range timt for Willbern. " While in the race yo u try to run a good time but overall you 're running against the time you have left in your life.- he t~plained . For Willbern the intrigue in running stems fro m a fight with the inev!table; it allows him to attempt to fight the slowing of bodily functions that comes with aging. 0 Phi Beta Kappa asks awards nominations Omicron Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is seeking nominations for iu two annual prizes, each of which carries a cash award of $50.

Although it has had several outstanding individual competilors in the past. Kong feels this years club is ~J:tteras a whole. "Badminton is not as lime-consuming as olhersports; il doesn' connicl as much with school work," Kong said. He added that badminto-n enjoys a popularity in Southeasl Asia similar to that of basketball in the US. The sport is gaining popularity here, he assesses, but . has far to go.

Wh ile varsity teams are often in the news, thesr.. "other" teams would be grateful to be noticed at all. They're the club sports - teams sponsored by SA which are run as clubs with no coaching and no membership restrictions. And minimal fan and monetary Support. Several of these "unknowns." including the Ski, Rugby, Badminton and Lacrosse clubs, compete intercollegiately with success. This year, for example. Ski Club slalom racer Bjorn Olsen was ranked #I in slalom and #2 in the grand slalom and. slalom combined by the ational Collegiate .Ski . Association (NCS A); and the Rugby Club won the Upstate Rugby Union championship. Yet, as Rugby Club spokesman Matthew McCarthy puts it:" ot only do we · have to beat our opponents. we have to beat the system. We have no fans . no press cover.age and nO administrative · su pport." Why? Club sports lea rs fault th e system. T A funds all varsity. club and recreaiiona11!'thletics on campus. Any students who wish to form a team that doesn't alre~dy exist can organize and become a club sport, according to SA Athletic Affairs Director Ed Heim. SA allocates the less than princely sum of $5,000 for all club sports - a total currently d ivided II ways. "A men's team has to be a club for five years and a womcn 's team for wo, before they can petition for varsity status ... Heim said. The system -was set up fOr several reasons. It gives st udents the opportunity to organize and allows time to determine if there is interest to keep the sport active, Heim explained. It also provides an oppOrtumty fors,tudents to participate in a sport' without rigorous requirements for auendance or effort, he added. When a team has met the time requirements. its members may choose to petition for varsity status or can remain a club indefin itely. Gaining varsity status, however. is not as simple as asking. Both budgetary and Title IX considerations come into play. explained Larry Steele, sports information director. "Title IX mandates a balance between the number of women's and men's teams," Steele said . " We've had to drop some successfut programs such as fencing and women 's bowling and we've picked up women's softball, women's track and field , and women's socctr... All varsity sports are funded by the Athletic Department budget which is provided by SA. "We've been on a four-year set budget the Lacrosse Club, the Ski Club has higher ambitions. L"Weike looked into varsity status a few SPORTS S (Abo•e) Ski tum (1-r): John Wile, Bjom Olae.n, Kurt Stoe•er, Oa•e Spillman, Krla flullerburg. (Below) Rugby team In serum. with SA," Steele said. "Costs are rising and we're not in a position to add more varsity sports ... N onetheliss, teams like the Lacrosse Club continue to have varsity status as their goal. Steve Focardi, president of that club, says money is an important reason. . Last year the team's schedule was limited to six games - all it could afford. "This year we have $1000 from SA; that is n't much when you consider that it coSts $120 per referee for . home games." Focardi said. For that reason only five of this -yea r's 14 sched uled games will be played here. To supplement the budget provided by SA, team members have sold bumper stickers and ~ad one fund-raising party each semester at a local tavern. Focardi said. Another reason behind the club's desire for varsi ty recognition stems from membership considerations. ''Since we're a club anyone can join ... at last count we had 52 players!" Focardi said . Only 10 can play at one time. The cumbersome numbe rs combined with a years ago and were told th ere wasn't enough money," said Dave Enck, captain of the skiers. His club competes in the northern divisio n of the NCSA 's Mid-Eastern conference. Enck is not optimistic about additional SA support in the near future so he and club !JlCmbers are seeking sponsorship from local companies. "We're hoping to develop a good program ourselves," he noted. The team co mpleted its season in Febru ary; they placed fifth in regular season competiti on and fourth i11 regional comj!Etition. One member, Bjorn Olsen , qualIfied for th·e national compet:tion in Idaho on March 9 - the only one chosen in the Mid-East to go. · Olsen. a pative of Norway. is a firstyear graduate student in Management. He com peted in six slalom races this season. winning five . He earned a silver medal in the slalom and placed 22nd in the grand slalom at the nationals. As a resu'h of these records. he achieved his top national ranki ngs. , Olse n's achievement at the nationals came at his own expense. " SA said they would sponsor me. but th at didn 't go through before I had ' to leave." Olsen said. " I had to use money from my stu dent loan .... "I was probably the only one there who had to pay fo r himself," he said. Most of the competitors were on full scholarships. "I came to UB and I didn't expect to ski at all. so it 's not too bad ," Olsen said although he wouldn 't mind being reim bursed for the trip. Over.all. Enck notes. stud en t interest in the ski team has increased . •• ex t year we're going to do even better," he predicted. though the bad miOton team meets all the eligibility requirements. E it has no interest in varsity status. The ven reason is simple: badminton is not recognized as a collegiate sport. "There is a movement to establish collegiate teams; and it might happen next yea r, "said Kong Ming Chiang, president of the club. The Badminton Club has existed for at least 15 years, according to Kong. It currently has a $1200 budget. • See Sports, page 11 �PUBLIC RADIO FROM THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO "Alton Hall · State University of Now York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 (716) 831-2555 Non-Profit Org. u.s.

Produced by the FM88 News Department. the Report includes local, national and international news summaries, featu re reports. commentaries , and ttl at day's National Preas Club address. The program is meant to be complementary to All Things Consklered, and we are confident that if you have enjoyed ATC, you will appreciatethe4 P.M. Report. Now, for t he first time, this station will feature informational programming during the entire morn ing and afternoon " drive-time" periods . for your convenience .• John Hunt's Jazz 88 afternoon program now begins earlier, at 1 p.m .. so jau fans will no longer have to wait jlntil the afternoon is half over lor thei r jau. As noted above . the National Press Club broadcasts, prev iously aired sporadically at 1 p.m. now are an important part of the 4 P.M. Report. Ttte station has long had a series of popular specialty music programs: however, because of therr t prev ious broadcast at 1 p.m .. they w ere oft en preempted by the National Press Club addresses. We have heard complaints on the preempt ions from many listeners. Now, the programs will be featured as Lunch Hour Music, weekdays at noon ; i n the i r new timeslot , preempt ions will seldom occur and many listeners should find the noontime timing much more convenient . Please noteth8t a new program on dixieland mu sic . hosted by Ted Howes, is being added to the schedule on Fridays. FM88's midday news effort now begins earlier, at 11 a.m., as the 11 A.M. Report. The 11 A.M . Report now teatures a daily, expanded NPR news and business summary. with local and BBC news plus oth e ~ "i ngred ients" previously heard on Midday. The new 11 A.M. Report also includes such fare as Governor Mario Cuomo's weekly rad io program, the Amerte~~n Debate, Fresh Air, and dramatic presentations previously a part of the Soundstage drama series . We do hope that you will enjoy our new weekday schedule, and we would appreciate hearing your comments on it.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

' yielded both tax breaks for the public and relatively good news for U B. The bottom line for the campus is that the University (and SUNY} fared somewhat better than it (and they) did in the proposed executive budget unveiled in January. UB, fo r mstance, received additional money for Medical School faculty. SUNY~ widc, a major restoratiOn in temporary service funding was included; more money was appropriated for research equipment; and additional fac ulty positions were provided for Engineering. Not everything. however, was rosy. On the debit side, the "tithe" which SUNY units with research programs must offer .. up to the Research FoundatiOn was increased to the figure originally projected by the Governor, and only a fraction of the hoped-for appropriation was made availa ble for the busi ness ~incubator" fecihty proposed for development adjacent to the campus. The new spehding plan was adopted following what veteran Albany-watchers described as one of the most hectic and ephemeral negotiati ng scssiont in recent memory .... One day you had an agreement for a million d oUa rs: the next ·day nobody remembered it," one s urce related . T · hat was finally pinned dow n, Edward W.

The omissi <II! of any additional funding for this purpose in the original Cuomo budget proposal was cited by UB observers last January as that documen t's major failing.

First, a number of full-time lines originally cut at four-year SUNY units which failed to meet enrollment quotas will be restored; t·he balance will then be applied to the temporary service cut, he indicated . We do know, Doty said, that the restorations will be enough to fully fund Millard Fillmore College and Summer Sessions programs (operated largely on Temp Service monies).

The group is a no t-for-profit o rganizat1on advocating shared custody and creative co-parenting after divorce. In co-parenting or joint custody, both p3.rents retain the responsibility a nd· authority for care an d control of the children. When .Doug was divo rced almost five years ago, he wanted to remain i'n active father to Lisa, now 6. But there were no programs on co-paren · ng, said SusanMa rie Carpente r. Doug wife and Lisa's stepmother. So Doug and Susan, who i sistallLtO th.e director of public affairs at B, went out and searc hed for the informal on they · ·/ • needed . They talked wit h family attorneys, psychologists, sociolo~ists, nuclear families, separated and divorced parents. and parents with and without custody. The more they talked with people, the more they saw a need for a program. They held a Life Workshop in October to share their information a nd 30 people from that workshop formed the nucle'Us of the group. "'The group was under de velop me~lt in our minds for a couple of years," Doug s~id..:- .. We saw a clear and present need for it. People were real glad we did . .. We've invested o ur time and some of our money - the group isn't paying for itself yet." · Doug said that he isn't advocating divorce. .. Divorce is not a pleasant experience for anyone," he understated . "But do you know that saying about what yo u should ....Jdo when life hands you lemons? For me personally, I'm making lemonade." M arent hood is Forever has four prinof co- parenting: P• ciples P3rents can not di vo rce. or be divorced from. their children. • Parenting can be removed from personal differences between spouses or ex-spouses. • Each parent is en titled to respect for his or her privacy and individual paren ting style. • Each paren t and child have the right to call themselves .. family.·· no matter how their time is shared or how their · family is structured . .. You have to separate ·family" from ·marriage' and 'parent' from 's pouse,' " Susan noted. The group tries to d.evelop a background for positive, progressive ways of dealing with custody. "A big part of our workshops focuses on 13nguage to get people tO not icC how many negatives sneak in there," Susan said. · There's a philosophy communicated by words, Doug sa1d , so they. choose words that put things in the most positive light. "I don't have an ex-wife," he stated. "My daughter has a mother." They don't talk about "marriages failing " but "marriages ending." There are~'t .. broken homes, .. just "'homes." Children don't "visit" parents,- but "live" with tfiem, even if it's only for one day. During workshops, concrete strategies are given to help divorced parents deal with one another, Susan saJd . If meetmg at home is too difficult, try a neutral(lace like a restaurant, she suggests. I you can't talk to your child's other parent in person; use the telephone .. If you can't talk long without getting 1nto a~ argument , limit your contact to 30 f!110Utes. . Lisa is conversant on ·the top1c of coparenting and explains it to all of her· friends , Susan said . "She's matter-of-fact about it," Doug said ... It doesn't bother her; this is her life." • Susan and Doug carpenter will! six-year- ut how does Lisa cope with being The next meet ing will be held May 14. B shuttled back and forth between her parents? ' 'Right away you assume she's shuttled. " 'Susan pointed out. That conjures up images of a waif in tattered garments clutching a tauered little suitcase or a paper bag full of clothes, she noted . .. That image is false, .. S1.,1san stated natly. . Every child adapts to changes in his or her routine all day long - first he's at home. then he's at school, then he might be off to gymnastics lessons or to a babysitter's house or Grandma's. Susan ex plained. In Lisa's case. it means that she spends the day in a kindergarten class for gifted students. Susan continued . During the beginning of t he week, she gets off the bus at her mother's house; Thursday. Friday and Saturday arc at her father's. .. Stability co mes from knowing what you can count on, .. Doug said. " No child should be put in the position to ask why o ne parent gave him or her up,'' Susan added . What about those cou4Jies who went their separate ways on less than cordial terms? .. Us ually, the reaction we get right away is 'it's impossible - I can't stand him, I hate his guts,'" Susan said . That's the initial reaction even ofthose who later are happy about sharing custody. ''Th1s is not a disclaimer. but an acknowledgement of reality," Doug said . "Sharing custody is no.tioreveryone. We are .. not · evangelists saying everybody should do it. "But if you want better than you've got, you can have better than you've got," he emphasized. That's one of the three recurring themes of co-parenting. nother theme is that it's possible to share without losing. A"You're not giving anything up by sharing," Doug said . "You're giving something. to your child. The input of each parent is very.unique. The third principle is simply that it doesn't have to be so hard. Parenthood is Forever holds meetings from 7to9 p.m. on the second Tuesday of 1he month an the community room oft he Sample Shop, 1631 Hertel Ave., Buffalo. old u.a. A support group meets every month and a speaker is featured every other mon th . In addition, Doug and Susa n have begun informal suppon meetings in members' homes where people ..ca n curl up on the couch, kick offtheirshoes. and · get 'hings off their chest," Susan said . Those meetings will be held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. The next is sc heduled for April 23. . Social activities include a famil y picnic scheduled for June 30. "The members get to know each other and they want to know each others' kid s." Susan said . It's also a way divorced parents can get togCth er without being very personal. Doug added . It 's a first step for divorced parents to be able to blend together. Several other projects are.on the draw- ing.boan:f. Susan wea rs a large pink button that says "'I'm Lisa's .stepmom and ·proud of it." She'd like to have personalized buttons made for others. Then there's t he 1986 Paren thood is Forever "make tim e" calendar. Each month would be marked with a different chaJJenge. for instattee, to improve yo ur language. Doug said. Another idea i~fflr a family tree board game that could bel>)aycd by traditional. di vorced, foster. or adoptive families. Doug said. . Doug and Susan count among their successes one couple wh o had been Jiving under a sole custody arrangement and decided to turn it into a shared custodv si tuat io n for the good of their dowghtcr. The parents arc pleased with the new arrangement. " If we stopped doing this today. l could rest easy. knowing that I made a difference in that little girl"s life." S usan said .

Thomas E. Headrick. dean of the law school. is chairman of the committee. One recom mendation made in the report is that a departm ent . not the . General Education Committee, should decide which of its cou~ses meet the criteria. Over the years. the committee has wrestled with seve ral criteria incJuding requi rements that a course must : • use methods of investigation and proof appropriate to the material. • relate subject matter to other fields of knowledge. • foster critical thinking ... and independent investigation. • encourage recognitioq of any moral or social problem ... and develop the capacity for informed choi~. While these criteria oUtliric noble aspirations, the committee fo und it impossible to apply them in any sensible way, the report stated. The committee members found that any course can be fit within them. Very f~w courses were in fact turned down on the basis of these criteria. The committee wants to shift responsibility for apP.Iying the criteria to the A departments "whosej udgmenl is far better informed on 1hese mattefs,"according to the repon. ..The committee believes that departments will exercise this responsibility with ca re and concern for the Program as a whole and not use it as a license to add cou rses for the eprollment that they might ge nerate or courses that do not meet the General Education objec1ives implici t in the former criteria." evcrsing a long-standing position of the committee is a new rule that · allows a General Education course to have a ·prerequisi te. In an effon to ensure that all General Education courses would be accessible to all students, the previous.,.-ule slated that no co.urse withm the program could have a prerequjsi te, unless the prerequisite was also a General Education course. Problems cropped up because departments wanted approval for introductory courses so upper level courses could then qualify, the reportexpl~ined . But some of the introductory course sections were so large that the writing requirement could not be implemented. Or, the sections were taught by teaching assistants. thus failing to qualify for Gen Ed credit.

And, in the gent le sport of fishing. she yie lded to no one when it came to snaring the prize small mouth black bass, year after year, at her summer retreat on Unit y Pond, Maine. By the rarest of combinations, she had two other qualities which seemed to transcend all these others- a sensi tive nature, quick in its insight in to the feelings of others. and an understanding heart, ready to reach out and deal with the p'roblems of others as though they were her own.

The influence of her years as registrar is hard to measure. Hu ndreds of yo ung men and women, who sought her advice and guidancey had their lives quickened by the gentle encou nte r with her fine, clear mind, encouraged by the warm , human q ualities of the woman who was never too occupied to listen to problems. and endlessly enriched by the experiences of her friend ship.

Dennis Mal one. chairman of the Senate. not ed th at the president will make the final deci)io n on th e issue. but he is interested in the opinion of the group. Lee Griffin . director of Public Safety. along with three of hi s officers. presented a slide sho w on the i~su e . Griffin repea tedl y stated he was n't suggesting that arm ing would affect the crime rate. It wo uld. however. he said. give the officers th e co nfide nce need ed to handle dange rous calls. In the early 1970s. the officers won the right to not respond to potentially dangerous calls because they're not armed. Griffin explained . When such a call is received. th e Amherst or Buffalo policeare called . It lakes time for those police to get to campus. They. frequently don) know their way around campus, Griffin said. It took 24 minutes for the Amherst Police to respond to last semester's homicide in Governors, he said, because they couldn) find' the building. · " We shouldn) pamper officers inJo not being confident because they're not armed," countered ewton Garver, pro. fessor of philosophy. Arming gives a "false and illusory" sense of well being. He said he deplo res the fact that guns are brought·illegally on campus, but to bring in more arms would simply ma.kc the situation more dangerou . William K. George. Jr .. professo r of engineering, noted that he has worked at other universities and the thing that impressed him most about U B's Public Safety officers is th eir non -<:o nfront atio nal attitude. "Why chan ge success?"' he questioned . Griffin replied that th e non-confro ntati o nal atmosphere is determined not by armi ng. but by the level of performance to which the officer is held. That wouldn't change. . George 5. ugge~ted that if man power is a problem. as Griffi n had indicated brlier. that problem should he addressed directly b) adding more people. A not her o pt ion would be to assemble a SWAT team of highly tra ined officers w~o could be called in on short not ice. George said. The problem with th at suggesti on. Griffin said , is that a n offteer never knows when. he will nc~d a gu n. If it were up to him. Griffin said . he would arm the patrol officers. the lieutenants and the investigators. Dispatchers. ·officers ~iving out traffic tickets, and those ghung presentations in the dorms would not be armed . Tony Conrad, assistant professor in the Center for Media Siudies. called Griffin's presentation ··emotional " and "'strident .. and questio ned the stati sti cs in it. One suggestion Conrad made· was to invi te the Amherst police in to get to know the campus. · Both the undergraduate and graduate student assemblies have voted against allowing Public Safety to be armed.

April 14 , at 8 p.m. a1 th e UB Center Thea1re Cabaret. 68 1 Main S1ree1 . Buffa lo. The show is both wrillen and perfo l1llt:d by Robinson . an undergraduate theatre major at UB. and will primarily feature severa l character sketcheS. both dram atic and co mic. "' People who know me know that I tend toward comedy," says Robinso n. ''I'd say most of the studies arc comic. all hough tht.[C arc some dramatic ones. While all arc tied in witb each' other in some way. there is no overall theme in all the segmen ts - they basically involve the audience getting to know these characters. •• Although Robinson plays all of the characters, each one is different from the o thers. They range from Charlene Lumis. a temporary secretary who talks - more than she types - to a rather demented strawberry shortcake doll who in turn gives children advice on what to do with unpermissive parents. Robinson says, howe ver. that his favorite character is Jimmy. a 14-ycar-old with 1hc mentality of an eight or nine-year old. ··1 developed Jimmy for one of my classes ... he remembers ... Hc·s probably my favorite because he's sincere and kind but if someone only passed him on the street, they'd assUme he was retarded and so not bother with him at all.·· Robinso n's attitude toward Jimm y poi nts o ut best' his message in lmimale Outpatiems. " I guess my message is that people aren't always what they seem to be.'' he says. "You have to take time and you'll rcali1c this with everybody. Instead of audience members going out on the street and meeting these people, I am ~aving ~hem the trouble by bringing the characters in to mccl them." Robinso n's upcom'ing show is pro bably the first one-man show to be put on by an undergraduate student in UB theatre. The 21-year-old se nior co nside rs himself luck y to get such a chance. "My main aspiration is to become a comic actor," he comments. " I am also fascinated with charact er work . I wanted here to create characters that ~rcn't in plays." Rob inso n has appeared on the !t1agc of the Cente r Theatre several tim es previously nnd has acted in several "S hakespeare m Delaware J>ark" productions. He is the directoi;, as well as a writer and a performer for. the UB comedy lroupc "Oral Hyjinx."

I didn' even know that Ankara had become the capita l after the revolution of 1923. I had ass umed that Istanbul was the seat of goverit- I ment. J even may have thought that there were two cities - Istanbul and Constantinople - on the Bos phorus, I didn' know that the Bosphorus. connecting the Black and Marmara Seas, divided Turkey into two land masses: one small, lying to the West. Thrace; the other. larger. to the East, Anatolia. l didn't know that this meeting place of West and East at the confluence of the Golden Hom. Bosphorus. and Marmara Sea represented one of the crucibles and crossroads of global history. 1 didn't know that Turkey was a Moslem country th at looked. by and large. to the West. rather than to Islam. for its cultural identity: that Ataturk ("father of the Turks-) was a figure ~ revered. among schoolchildren. as George Washi ngt on: or th at the hands on the ornate clocks in Dolmabache Palace (the last palace of th e Ottoman Sultans and Ataturk's residence in Istanbul} would stay fixed at the moment of his death in 1938. I didn 't know th at Ataturk. virtually single-ha nded. had banned the Fez. torn off the veil. substituted the Latin alphabet for Arabic. and catapulted Turkey into 1he modern world after driving the Greeks into the sea at Smyrna (now lzmir). I had trace memories about the Young Turks. and I had heard of "'(urkish Delight," but probably assumed it was a close encountCr of a perverse sex ual nature. So. I was tgnorant. and, in some sense. open to new arrangements of time and space. history and geography. · With a received faith in the "broadening values" of travel and beneficial effects of differen ce, with few preco nceptions. man y a pprehensions. too much luggage and less cool. I left Buffalo in September, 1983. I won't recite here my somewhat Thurbcr-likc journey to Ankara, except to say that I discOvered in Paris. racing to make the connection for Istanbul, that the Turkish Airlines co unt er had been blown up by Armenian terro ri sts a month before. and that it was now moved every day . ..

Yq.u. never know where and when you will see life and yourself somewhat diffe rently. I soon discovered that Turkey was part of the same ancient Aegean world that had nurtu red the now better known .. classical'' Greeks (a so re point for contemporary Turks). Troy and Ephesus, to name two of a hundred major si tes, lay on Turkish soil; Herodours was born in Bodrum (then Halicarnassus). an Aegean coastal resort now called -Bed-room" by the Turkish jet-setters and disco set. Turkey was _so old t~at its Byzanti ne capitol , Constantinople, had been sacked by Turkish invaders in 1453, half a century before the discovery of America by European voyage rs. This was old . older th an my Russian grandfather. so I prepared myself imaginatively for teaching in a hoary university like Oxford or Coimbra. I wondered if I would teach in a robe \ pe rhaps one with feathers or fur. and stroll across tiled courtyards with yo ung scholar~ who would , glancing at gilt-edged. illuminated books. ask wise questions. I was looking. after all. for tradition. civili7_ation. the Jamesian sense of accrued tim e. memorable place. I learned on rily fir t day in the Faculty of Language. History. and Geography. Dil Tarih Cografya (our Arts and Le tters. more or less) that my Faculty had been organized and buill in the 1930's. I was as o ld as the Faculty. When l told a colleague that my undergraduate alma mater had been founded in 182 1 and that I had earned another degree from a universit y established in 1754. he asked ,'"What is it like to go to ve nerable instituti ons?" I was speechless; l had come after all as a rep resentative of the New World, loqking for antique ways. Byzantine desi~n . and glimpses of Allie Aegean architecture. I felt this doubleness throughout my teaching experience in Turkey.·! represented an older society, with respect to the organization of higher ed.ucation, the checks and balances of liberal democracy, and the application of science and technology to everyd ay living. Colleagues would often say. if l were critical of sta tic bureaucracy, imperious treatment of stude nts; obsolete Caliphatic pallerns of hierarchy separating junior fro m se nio r faculty, "Give us time. you've been doing this kind of thing longer than we have." Everyone ass umed , nonetheless, that I expected to have the latest .state of th e art technologies as an aid to teaching: video and audi o tapes. electric typewri ter, xe rox machine, personal compute'r, etc. Students. always selfeffacing in Turkey, apologized for the lack of heat in the building, poor lighting, scored blackboard . soot-filled air that wafted in from the railroad track s outside our classroom window.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

But, accprding to a recent report from the Office of Institutional Studies (O IS), these gains have not come exclusively a t the expense of the arts and sciences. although percentages of students interested in many of th ose fields have ebbed. It's the health professions that have suffered (percentage-wise) the greatest loss in interest, Jeffrey E. Dutton. OIS director pointed out. Indi viduals with intended majors in health fields have plummeted from 20.2 per cent of all accepted UB applicants in 1979 to just 8,9 in 1984. The percen tages of those interested in fine and applied arts declined from 2.8 per cent of accepted freshmen in 1979 to 1.9 per cent in 1984, but those in tendin g to major in letters increased minutely ·- B efforts in these fields .

Engineering is currentl y the field in which U B's accepted applicants most exceed national and state norms among college-bound high school seniors. Last yea r, 26.6 of those accepted here ind icated Engineering as their major choice; amo ng all ew York State college-bound se niors, however. th e figure was o nly 10.6 ph cent. .

Jeremy Blachman, academic affairs director of the undergraduate Student Association, and a graduate representative , Manjeet Singh, the Graduate Student Association's international student coordinator. specific measures to take. The plan was suggested by Dr. Donald W. Renn ie, vice provost for graduate and professional education. Provost Will iam Greiner said the plan seems to be appropriate and has sent it to the deans. He noted that detailed procedures still have to be worked out. Essentially, the plan embodies implementation of three resolut ions passed at a recent meeting oft he Executive Commitlee of the Graduate School: · • Beginning with the fall 1985 semester, all entering non-native speakers who are to be assigned teaching. graduate or research assistantships are. required to take the Spoken Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK Test). The Intensive English Language Institute "!ill adminiSter the test. • The lEU will surve)' peer institutions to find out what thear requiremen ts are. • The UniversitY should determ ine how many current rlon-English speaking graduate student assistants with instructional duties have not met the English language requirements (a Test of English as a Foreign Language{TOEFL] score of 550 and a SPEAK score of 250). The provost should charge the vice provost · for graduate and professional education with developing appropriate and effective procedures to monitor eich department's compliance with the-requirements. A Language Policy Action Committee is to be established to propose specific procedures and any changes in requ ireme.nts or in remedial programs that might be necessary. It would be chaired by Rennie. Members are to include Dr. James Bunn, vice provost for Undergrad uate Educatio n; a dean , probabl y John Ho, ·- interim- dea~f ~atural Sciences and unnett of I Ell said he is pleased with the plan . He has already D started to poll peer institutions. "Everybody is grappling with the same problem." he found . ' Some use the SPEAK Test, he said. Others use the Test of Spoken English (TSE) which is given in the student 's home country. However, the Iauer costs $40 and Dunnett feels it would be a burden to the international TA 's. Still other institutions use videotaped interviews which are reviewed by a panel of judges, Dunnett said. The University of Maryland, which serves as kind of a model in Dunnett 's view, requires all of its graduate stude nts to come two weeks early for testing and a training session. Those deficient in English skills aren't allowed to teach the first semester. but are given a I0-hour per week course in communication and teaching. "Nine;y-nine per cent go on to teach in the spring with no difficulty.'' Dunnett said . The University of Maryland reports it now bas students with higher TOEFL scores coming in and is getting a better student overall, Dunnett said. None of the institutions he polled reported any drop in enrollment when requirements were tightened, he said. Once the students are tested, it's important to have a sufficient remedial program in place for them, he said. .. We've received some assurances froi:n the provost that he would provide the necessary resources for an effective program," Dunnett said. He added that the T A shouldn \be chatged fort he testing or program. · Dunnett would like to revamp the cu rrent ~nglis h program for· international ~ains TA's . . .. We never had the resources in the past," he said. "We knew that what we were doing wasn't enough, but we co uldn \ do more." He added that he hopes to get input from the departments in working out a new program. On testin~ . Dunnett said he would like to co nduct Interviews in addition to the SPEAK Tests. Proficiency ratings would be given after the intervaew, then compared with the SPEAK results to see how the two sco res correlate. On the recom mendation · regarding· surveying the departments for stud ents' TOEFL scores, Dunnett pointed ou t that it is not to be a punitive measure. It'sjust a m~ans to collect missi ng data. Knowing how many TA 's there are who have not met the requirements will help in scheduling for next year, he said . Iachman of the undergraduate Student Association said the plan is B good , but he has concerns about how quickly th e committ~ can act. By May. Blachman would like to see definite. conc rete criteria se t up on S P EAK and TOEFL requirement s. His goal is to bar in ternati onal TA's from teach ing until they meet whatever proficiency requirements are finally set up. "I won\ be happy until there's not bne TA, RA or GA an a reci tati on or lab or lecture section who hasn't met the requirements ... Blachman said . The IELI should be given money to monitor these teaching assistants. he said . In addition. he urged that TA ·s not be required to payforthe remedial course themselves. Tightening ofTOEFL waivers must be accomplished also. he added . .' The graduate school has to get over its attitude that stiffer ""JUirements will decrease its pool of applica nts. Blachman added. If UB is competing with other major research institut ions for tecruits, tbose recruits must be capable of meeting the stiff requirements of t he other institutions, he suggested . • Undergraduate ~ have suffered for some time beca use requirements were too support lax, he con tended . If he has to get more doc umentation of the problem, he will, Blach man said. But more data are not nCeded , he asserted. .. It 's time for actio n, not discu ssion,"' he argued . ingh of the Graduate Student Associati on said the plan is good for undergraduates as well as T A's. The first step now is to gather acccurate data , Singh said. · Decisions on who would have to take a remedial course and what criteria would be used would be made next year, he indicated. "The departments should be involved," he said . "That's whe re the problem will be solved . The department should • be accountable for the TA and provide information. The departments should make sure the international TA is qualified, but not put the international TA 'sin a bind ." Singh said he will talk to students in the lEU's remedial classes and attend some classes to see how they're co nducted. At a recent meeting of the Graduate School Executi.ve Co mmittee, Dunneu ·played tapes demonstrating SPEAK Tests. He played examples of those who did poorly and th ose who did well on the test, Singh said. "Maybe he should have played tapes of average ones. " ingh suggested. Singh is interested in those who scored in the 200 to 250 range because those are the ones: he asserts, who can have instructio nal duties and take a remedial CO urse at the same time. Si ngh ment ioned that a couple of suggestions were made at a meeting last week of international club officers. One comment was that TA 's required to talce a remedial course should be ready to teach by the end of the course. ort\te course is of no uSe. Another suggestion was that, rather than take a spoken test administered by the l EU, the test should be sent back to the Educatio nal Testing Service in New • • Jersey for grading. ·· But the th ree recomme ndations arc pretty good,"Singh concluded . "I think it will solve Lhe problem in the future." 0 S �March 28, 1985 16, No. 24 ~olume These complicated dlrecllons (counlerclockwlae fro_m right of page) 'explain ' lha way to clau In Room C- 127A. lecterns with remote controls for audiovisual equipment and lights should be installed by the end of this semester. "We're doing exactly what the students recommended," Danford indicated. He got quick action on that recommendation because, in addition to his role as assistant vice president of university services. he is head of the Quality of Instructional Space Task Force. He functioned as the class's client. passing along Information to the task force. The task force is considering the students' other recommendations. along with information from still other sources. and will have a report by the end of April, Danford said.

The class has already put in about 9.000 man-hours on it. Danford said . ''That's more than any task force could put in." he noted. They've gotten more mileage out of those hours. too. because pow they've got the experience of one project under their bells and are more productive. The current project aims to see how services affect students coming to - or leaving - UB and how to make the University more attractive, he explained. Subjects include housing. social life, athletics and scheduling. The proje<t inclu3es an update of the master plan. The students may even recommend organizational changes in · D ser·based design is something we teach a lot of in this University, but it doesn't happen in fact" as far as Univer~ity construction is concerned. remarked Scott Danford . assistant vice president for university services. \Vhen it comes to selecting a hitectural firms to design buildings he the criteria do not include asking desig s · whether they think architecture should giant sculptJJre or whether user-based -~:i~~n is amporta.nt to ~hem_,_.....Danford When the user is forgotten. problems can result . For instance, there are classrooms on the Amherst Campus where the sight lines are such that students can't see the blackboard from certain parts of the room : In other instance,,..:the cause of a problem may not be the room itself, but the mis-seating of a certain class in that room . For example, round rooms such as the Kiva in Baldy may be used for large · classes because they hold many people. but the instr·uctorstands in the center and always has his back to someone. These rooms also pose problems for the.instructor who has to write on the blackboard (although one instructor who found him self in that predicament claims he was offered a round blackboard). elutions to 1hese problems may be on the w..ay. An Environmental Design 450· class recently put user-based design theory into practice here. Last semester, the 37 student> looked at the quality of instructional space on the Amherst and Main St. campuses. Under the direction of Dr. Marilyn Reeves, assistant professor in environmental design and planning, the group asked about 2,000 other students, faculty and staff what problems they had encountered because of design. They visited 77 commonly used classrooms, lecture halls, and other instructional spaces, spending about 7,000 to 8,000 man-hours on the project. Danford said. The student s tried to look at a broad scope of needs, Reeves said. While many different campus offices handle pans of the problem, nobody had ever before looked at the big picture. ""For the first time. there was manpower enough to complete an analysis of instruclional space .... Reeves pointed out. The project was divided into several parts: small classrooms, large classrooms. and lecture halls on each campus; the Fillmore classrooms at Amherst. and specialty or multi-purpose rooms on the North Campus. Danford compiled a 29-page report from the students' eight separate studies. "They went into great detail, "he noted . One of the things pointed out is the growing disparity between where instructional space is located and where demand is. There is excess space at Main Street, while demand is high at Amherst. Since the UB master plan is outdated and no longer followed, students decided to assume that the trend to move to the Amherst Campus, with the exception of the Health Sciences. wiU continue, Danford said.

Though my relationship to higher education in thts state A is now relatively remote in time and space, I hoped that a sympathetic perspective from afarmigpt still be useful. Let me identify several roles which the record · Jllay not fully reveal. In the late 1960s, I was Executive Assistant to the President and a law pr!.lfessor at the State Unive·r-· sity of New York at Buffalo. Since that time( have served in faculty and ad'ministrati~posts in several other state un iversity s stems- the University of California, In ·~ ·a Universi ty, and currently the Universit f WiS£llnsin System where I am Preside of a 2kampus statewide complex, sm ler in scale but in other ~ys not unlike the State University of New York. Since mY. academic field is constitutional Jaw, I have also followed legal developments affecting public higher education with a special interest. Finally, I spen t live years as the first chairman of a Committee on Institutional SelfRegulation of the American Council on Education. From these several perspectives. I have what yO'I) may appreciate to be a special interest in the subject before you . extensively regulat~nd constrained than our colleagues i her states like Michigan and Californ· . S tructures of ·State universi ty governance vary enormously from state to state. Since the merger of the two pre• viously separate state university systems in 1971, Wisconsin has 1\lld a single governing board which serves also as its highereducationcoordinating body. Our Board of Regents reports d irectly to the Gover.nor and the Legislature. When it approves (o r disapproves) degree programs, lhat is the end of the matter - save for the unlikely possi bility that the Legislature might second guess the Regents through budgetary actions and that is something that has been done, even indirectly, on only two occasions I can recall since nierger. Thus when the Governor ·appoints and the Senate conflrm s Regents fo r seven-year tenns, th ey_ are vested wi th the whole management res poru.ibility for the Universi ty System within broad statutory guidehnes. The absence of any external body to review programs. personnel and other judgments is a relatively unusual feature "Trust autonomy & flexibility are key issues." which has undoubtedly inhibited the real- · ization of that potential. All of us in American higher education recogni ze the rece ncy of SU Y's creation. We al so appreciate what extrao rdinary strides New York has made in less than 40 years in shaping a public universit y system. In fact, most states have followed precisely the opposite path - first creating a single campus state university and much later moving toward statew1de systems along with coordination through a commission or council in the executive branch of state government. New York. of course, moved in a very different way - having created its coordinaling agency 200 years ago, much later creating universities and S ccond . I would identify the matter of state budgetary appropriations as o ne of marked contrast. Each biennium the Board of Regen ts receives from the Legislature a lump-sum budget for all purposes save capital co ns truction. which is the s ubject of eparate act ion through a State Building Co mmi ssion and eventual legis lative approval. The operatin~ budget does contain a few earm.a rked Ite ms - for example. separate state s uppon for agricultural research or for the Laboratory of Hygiene which the universit y manages - but is for the most part undifferentiated by campus and is target ed for function o r activn y on ly in the broadcast respects. It is then for the Regents to determine, upon our reco mmendation, how much sho uld go to finally bringing them together as but one· which campus and for what purpose. If, of many educational activities for which for example. we wish to spare one campus the conseq uences of a short-term enrollm ent decline or to encourage another campus to reduce enrollments voluntarily, we are largely free to do so the Board of Regents has ult imate responsibility. For most of us, coordination through statewide boards came almost as an afterthought in the wake of dramatic expansion , growth and 1ensions during the 1960s. within th e single, consolidated budget. Our flexibilit y extends also to student fee income. which is essen tially pooled fol- P erhaps it would be most useful if I lowing its collection each semester and is reallocated to campuses on criteria which include but are by no means limited to its place of origi n. It is therefore,' the ability sin (with which I am most familiar). to manage the whole ge neral fund s budget ~ the aggregate of state appro- could not.e briefly six particular areas in which New York condit ions contrast significantly with I hose of WisconIndeed, when Wisconsin colleaSues complain of intrusion or s urveillance by state agencies , I often rem ind them of what our priations and s tudent fees - which really gives .the Regen ts that essential measure colleagues in of Oe>tibility which New York lacks. ew York face by contrast and how much better off we are in the midwest. The particular areas I would identify for com parison are ~truct ure; budget; auditing; inter-fund - transfers; purchasing and pr<Jfessional personnel policies. In each area , the comparison marked by the Independent Commission is dramaucally illustratcx1 by Wisconsin's experience - and eve1 we are more brought within its oversight.) Of course, we d o extensive internal post-auditing and try to keep our own house in sufficient ly good order that external scrutiny of o ur fiscal prac t ices is seldom necessary. Fourih, and fo r much the same reasons, we have brOad latitude regarding inter-fund transfers. Many reallocations during a fiscal year require the approval of the Board of Regents. We must seek a pproval of the Legislature's J<>i nt Committee on Finance if a net increase to approved budget levels is involved - for example, as a result of unexpected student fee income brought about by higher th an planned enrollments. We cannot, of course, transfer funds out of lines that cover utilities, fringe benefitS or certain other earmarked purposes; ability to rebudget. Fifth, in the area of purchasing we have bee n quite successfu l recently in obtaining delegation of authority for all but the most unusual and costly items. F inally, it is the area of personnel which I recall from my SUNY days as being most painfully restrictive. While Wisco nsin does maintain rather tight which we s hare with North Carolina, Oregon. a nd one or two other states. This autonomy carries over also to auditing. - the third area in which my own New York and Wisco nsin experiences reveal marked contrast. ot only are we effectively free of external pre-audit for any purpose; post-auditing is quite selective and is undertaken by the Legislative Audit Bureau only in response to a legislative conce rn or a discovered need. Ralston s idea raises afar worse spectre range of transactions than were in fact control -of the total University System between a partially tapped potent ial for grea t eminence on the one hand and o n the o ther hand excessive regu lation testimony how great a degree of trust we enjoy from an Audit Bureau which has legal authority to monitor a ' far larger allocate is, however, the rule rather than the exception within our general fund The report of the Independent Commission came to me as no s urprise. From my own experience in New Yo rk . 1 recognized the same tension which rhe Commission o carefully defined ~ (By curious coincidence, my first appearance in live years before the Legislature's Joint Committee on Audit took place on Tuesday of this week; I stressed in my position cOunt , we are left quite free to apportion positions to individual campuses and o f course among disciplines or functio ns within the unclassified staff. We do need state approval to increase the total posi tion count - when , for example, an une xpected federal resea rch grant comes during the fiscal year and requires the hiring of additional research staff. Within the unclassified service. however, we are constrained only by the position total s, by state and fed eral laws covering affi rmative action and similar matters. and of course, by the Board of Regents' own rather detailed personnel policies. My reco llection of the ew York expe- rience is dramatically different, with constraints I remember as burdensome and discouraging to what could become an extreme degree. Against this bac~ground and contrast, I h_ope it is clear that I am not suggesti ng New York should be exactly like Wisconsin. Moreover, as I noted earlier, Wisconsin lacks the degree of autonomy that exists in other states like Michigan and California where the stat e university enjoys constitutional Stat us as we do not. Yet it is clear to me that the University of Wi sconsin would not have become the international research university it is without _t~ ~ degree of t~s t , au tonomy and Oextbthty I havedescnbed and which we share with o ther major research un iversities. I do sense in the creative recommendations of the Independ ent Co mmission and the implementing legis~ lation a timely response to an anomalous situation . They offe r the hope of tapping much more full y that extraordinary potent ial which ' New York's State University hold s. If there is any helpful role for th ose of us outside ew York who have such high regard forthe state and its universities, I would be more than happy to help in any way I could. And for such time as yo ur agenda permits this morn- ing, I would be most hai?PYto answer any q uestiOn! or prov1de mformation that might be ~elpful to the Committee.

Surel y if the concept ~ valid that one should only do research of which one's colleagues may appro\'e, such a cOncept should apply eq~ll y well to teaching activities. publ ica· tion and service functions . After all , do we not often expound oo the truly diverse nature of ou r res ponsibilities in the ac'5Ciemy and say that ~ have essentially equal concern with research , as well as instruction, as well as service, etc?

And why hould the acceptabili ty concep t be so nar· rowly restricted to grant or co ntract supported research? We well know th at \'alid research is done within the Unive rsity even if not directly funded by external agencies. but those faculty clearly utilize tax-funded facilities 'to help produce their journal publications, books, works of poetry. an , and philosophy. Clearly such products may ha\•e socie1al implications wh ich desenc examination and approval by such · committees.

Alas, since these poor souls have not availed themselves of th is opport un ity. we need to cease embarrassing them by requiring them to exen such judgment, and instead C·reate that bastion of academic excelleqce and perspicacit y ... a committee! In my opinion, the essence pf a University is its l o la/, co mple1~ rejectioQ. of any limitations placed upon its faculty with respect to teachi ng, scho larly work, research or service, subject only to requirements of law and tenns and co nd itions of employment. with free and open access to risearch results.

MALONE �March 28, 1985 Volume 16, No. 24 Engineers build all-terrain vehi_cles for _B aja contest By WENDY ARNDT HUNT t 's difficult enough to deal with the Pfe§SUre for good gra des from a parent, but when a professor expects a student to perform well ... well, then the heat"s on. And the II ' mechanical engineering seniors who 11 enter the ir aU~terrain vehicle- in the Mini Baja East competition on May 10 and II at McGill University in Montreal sure do feel that they had better do their best: their advisor, Andres Soom, Ph.D., U.B I associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, received his bachelor of engineering degree in 1967 from McGill. . • Soom, defending himself, declared, ··we are out to do as well as we can, but not necessarily to win. The primary purpose," the professor postulated, " is for the student to learn how to design something." · He co · fessed, howe ver, " One )<ear, I told them at everyone would get an •A' if they pi in the top 25 per cent. • Mini Baja c petlt..ens were organized around the . unU)' about 10 years ago under the ausp1ces of the Society of Auto'rrl'otive jj,ngineers. This will be UB's sixth year in t~e Mini Baja East competition and .its second in the Midwest B~ja . Last year, UB placed 4th in the midwestern competitiop and .31 st in the eastern, said So om, wh o has been the ad viso r fo r all the compet itions University stu dents have entered. Those rankin gs. he said, are U B's best and \\'l>rst. Abiding by the rules of the competition, they were to build the vehicle with: an 8 horsepower engine manufactured by co-sponsor Briggs arid Stratton; at least three wheels; a roll cage capable of withstanding impact if dropped from a height of four feet ; a fire wall that reaches the base of the driver's helmett guards to protect the driver from chains and belts; an<J room to accommodate a 6'3.. driver. They were to construct their vehicle so it would cost no more than $1 ,500 if mass produced. During the two~ay competition. the vehicles will t>e tested to see how much they can pull, how well they ca n acceler· ate, brake. climb uphill, and maneuver turns, how fast they can t-ravel a fi ve-mile as phalt trnck, aod hpw long they can endure a three-to-five hour trek into and out of water and mud, over hills, a nd throu,gh forests. They will also be judged for aesthetics. Schoonmaker and Kay said the team designed theirvetticle with the endurance test in mind. figuring that if it performed well in this test, it would do so in all others. They designed it witlo a dual.bra~·. system so it can handle sharp turns, a rudder placed in the front and turbine blades on the inside oft he wheel walls so it can maneuver in water, a front streamlined like a boat so it can enter the wat er without losing too much speed, a nd a . cus tom-built heav y-dut y ra c K a nd pinion. They .a ss ume it will travel25 to 30 mph on land and 5 to 7 in water. The Mini Baja East entry must be able to· travel both on land a nd in water: the Midwest Baja entry. only on land. The former vehicle is fund ed by . Nat io nal Ca r Renta l and the America n Society of Mechanical Engineers: th e la tter by the Student Association. he midwestern tea m, which has seve n. members, is ca ptained by Roben Judd. His team will co mpete June I a nd 2 in 'Milwaukee. About 50 engi neering schools vic fo r the Numbe r I spot in the Mini Baja East competition: about 30 in the Midwest Baj a.

They hope to test it on la nd by the end of March and in the wat ers of Lake l!aSalle in mid- April. " W e are engineers," Kay said , claiming his future title. " We have designed the vehicle to go through mud. wa.ter a nd wh atever else gets in the way." They set out to design an d build a vehicle th at is lightweight a nd stro ng, which wi ll flo at, wh ich will not o nly maneuve r but also acce lerate in water, a nd which will ha nd le sharp tu rns.

By MURIEL HEBERT WOLF he opportunity to educate the artist as a total person makes professional arts training in the university vnique. challenging. and at times. problematic. Professio nal tra ining in the performl rfg arts has as its specific purpose to prepare arti sts; that is. to equip them with skills. knowledge and altitudes required in the· pursuit of caree rs with professional orga nizations. Further. in each field of perforinance the training systems .differ and opCrate under various types of institutional and private .. frameworks ... T when a studcnt·s n c n· o w~ system i::. geared to a major perfo rm ance commitmcnr. demanding long hours of practice and psyc hophysical involvcmenk which is not support ive of t he franic of mind rc4uircd for specific kind s of academic assignment s. The lack of communication between academic and professional areas is one of th e basic problems in developing effective. efficient and viable traimng. In so me institutions specializing in performance programs. scheduling of academic and performance activities is designed to accommoda te such a co nni ct. If this does not exist . the studio instructor sho uld work wi th the student in selfmanagement as related to the requirements of preparation for professional and educational goals. The training/ education phase should lead. if possi ble. to some career level activi ty or advanced stud y, which would eventually co ntribute to the candidate's eligibility to joi11 the mainstream of the profession. Even in this final orientation the studio teacher often plays an important role in providing co un sel a nd professional contacts. not to mention psychological support in career crises. As the singing artist Judith Raskin summarized simply, "Career preparatio n is basically preparing an artist. And preparing an ar.tist stans with identifying talent fi rst. giving the gifted person everything that person need s. by teachers who are well trained themselves ... and know how to teach ." 0 Within the framework of a University sys tem it is also most im portant to include more general educational and avocatio nal objectives . In spite of these differences. regardless of category, it is agreed that quality teach· ing and the highest standard s for preparation are needed. More interdisci plinary relationships, cross--disciplinary train ing and exposure to other subject areas are to ~ be encouraged.

Wiliiam Ryan, Ph.D., a Columbia geology professor who has led three seardl missions, including two in which Farre participated, questioned whether residue from the 1929 avalanche would have been massive enough to bury the wreckage if, in. fact, the Ti\anic settled upon the ocean floor near the Grand · Banks.

Columbia University is conducting the research on behalf of the Bedford Institute of Oceanology at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

The scanner covers a path five kilometers wide, with half that d istance on either side of the slowmoving research vessel. The soundings are translated into diagrams, to show what the ocean floor looks like. As Jacobi put it, the 1929 tid al wave was "the one and only historically recorded tidal wave in that area," but, he added, there have been extremely minor earthquakes in the area since then. According to wrinen accounts, the 1929 tidal wave claimed numerous lives ·as it tossed ships ashore like toys, caused unestimable damage to docks and other shoreline structure$ as far south as Nova Scotia · and severed submerged transatlantic telephone and telegraph Cables.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Those being considered for teaching would be required to have a minimum 550 on the TOEFL (taken in their home country). Upon arrival at UB, they would be given the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) Test and would have to score at least 250, Dunnett said. ' TOEFL measures listening comprehension, reading, writing, and grammar. The SPEAK Test t11easures spoken English, he explained. ' A score of 250 to 300 on the SPEAK indicates the student is completely com-· prehensible iri ~rmal speech, with occasional gramma ·cal or pronunciation errors in very co quial phrases. The Educational Testin Service considers the 250 score t he acce able Standard as do at least 25 colleges d universities. . Althouglrthere is some general correlation between TOEFL and SPEAK scores, in many cases there is a large discrepancy between them, Dunnett explained. Because a student level or p'roficiency in passive language skills, as measured by the TOEFL. may be very different from his skill in speaking, it is esse.,ntial that testing for speaking proficiency con tinu e irrespective of TOEFL scores, he added. Another recommendation is that departments assigning ins tru ctional duties to international graduate students must inform the vice president for graduate and professional education and refer these ~tudents to the lEU , he said. :s here are several problems with the present system; Dunnett said. Too many waivers are given on the TOEFL only41 per cent orroreign TAs presented TOEFL scores this semester, he said. It's sort of an unofficial requirement now that the international T A ·s take the SPEAK Test when they get here, Dunnett said. But the lEU can\ compel the students to take the SPEAK , and the students have incentives to avoid taking it. If they do poorly, they may be asked to take one or two remedial courses which may result in course conflicts or delay completion of their programs, he explamed. No one is checking to make su re students who are required to take tile remedial courses are actually taking them, Dunnett said. · "Some don 1t take the test," he indicated. "Some don't take the remedial course. But frankly. the course can\ do that much. It's only three hours a week. That's not enough. It's kind or a Band-Aid." Besides providing more time, the sixweek course could prove helpful ifit contained a cultural component, he said. "It isn\ always a language problem," Dunnett said. "It could be cultural." T A few years ago, he and some colleagues sat1n on some classes taught by international TA's. One Japanese s.t udent, who spoke English well, taught in a Japanese style. The TA was very rigid and had no interaction with the class. Undergraduates complained that they couldn \ cnderstand him, Dunnett said. .. It wasn't for linguistic reasons; it was a pure eultural barrier," he noted. In another class, a TA with less proficiency in English taught in a Latino style. He used "street English," chatted with students and "worked the crowd," Dunnett said. The undergraduates felt they understood him even though his English was poor. A third part of the summer program could bC teacher training, Dunnen said. Every department is supposed to have a program to guide T A's on how to teach. "Every department will tell you they do," Dunnett said . "But the number of departmentS that are really serious is low .'~ Most i~ sponsoring agencies send . SU-pPO~ed~ nts to summer language programs in advance of their entering graduate school. UB's lEU is a trairling center fOr Fulbright scholars. .. Essentially, we provide training for Berkeley, Stanford, and Harvard, but not for our own University students,~ he said. "I feel very sorry for TA's who have a problem. They know they have a problem, but they can't afford to quit and come full-time for intensive language courses. They reel nobody is helping • them." The present system is unfair both to the TA 'sand to the undergraduates, he said , adding that the whole University has to come together to address this issue. The new requirements would not discourage interna t ional students, but would encourage them to apply here, Dunnett maintains. After the TOEFL requirement was raised from 500 to 550, UB got more and better international studen_ts. In a kind of snowball effect, the ·new . requirements would attract quality students to UB because this University would,be seen as having high standards, he said. anjeet Singh, the Graduate Student Association's international student coordinator, disagreed on that point. If students have to wait out a semester to take En$1ish courses before they begin their teachmg, it puts the department in a bind, he pointed out. The depa.rtments will end u~ short-handed and will there' fore avo1d international TA 's, he explained . . Other universities don't require a semester-long wait, he added. He feels strongly that 550 on ihe TOEFL is an adequate measure of' English proficiency. If a TA gets above 550 on the TOEFL but doesn\ do wdl on the SPEAK, the TA should be allowed to take a remedial course while teaching, Singh suggested . If a TA scores below 550 on the TOEFL, he should be required to take a summer course, he said . Singh also pointed out that a new policy shouldn\ be a financial burden to the M TA 's. In the present system, intensive . remedial Enghsli language courses are not co.vered by tuition waiver and stu~ dents have to pay for them out or their own pocket. "lfthe departments pay for the course, that's one way out," Singh said. " But it would be better to allow theTA 's to take · , the language and communication course while they're teaching." Any probkins that come up whi.le teaching co uld , then, be brought out '" the course, he said. "The University has to address this issue; both TAs and undergrads suffer." Another point concerns references to acculturation, he noted. Wording should c;arefully avoid sounding like the international T A's are to be made like Americans, instead the message should be that theTA's are to be made aware or the culture, Singh said . . He objected to letters in The Spectrum from unde~;"graduates complaining about not being 3ble to understand international T A's, "They're dealing with the problem the wrong way," he said. "They should bring it up with their individual TA's and departments ... There might be a small percentage of international TA 's with a problem, but not a majority, Singh contended . eremy Blachman, academic affairs director of the undergraduate Student Association, told the Reporter he was planning to take a particular complaint to Vice President Rennie. · Several studeins in a freshman-level introductory course said they had to drop the course because they couldn"t understand the international TA and couldn"t get into another section, Blachman related. "If they're not being taught at the foundation , it's bad," Blachman said. He said he has received 25 to 35 sj>ecific complaints concerning international T A's. Blachman also noti:d Ule letters in The Spectrufll. When students get to the point of writing a letter, the situ ation is serious. he suggested . He mentioned a University of Pittsburgh case where students successfully grieved for a tuition refund because theY couldn' understand their TA. ·us can' afford a similar incident. he said. "Something has to be done immediately," Blachman said . He said that he would hate to see the issue relegated to a time<onsuming task force. J said ADCAS and the executive committee of the Graduate R ennie School will probably come up with recommendatiOns to be considered by the president and council or deans. One would be very simple, he said: "No teaching assistant could stand up in front or a class without a certifiable command or the English language." The 250 score on the SPEAK Test has been suggested as a measure . "The burden or proof is on Dunnen that the SPEAK score should be 250," Renn ie said. "We have to be very careful we know what we're talking about. It's like advocating a car you haven't dri ven or a book yo u have n't read.'' Dunnett feels that the ETS guidelines and the experience of other institutions constitute compelling evidence. Rennie said he assumes the chairs would be asked to enforce th e new requirements. There might be some objections. he noted, but reasonable change seems in order. Some step~ere taken in the last two or three years, he said. The TOEFL requirement was stiffened, but TA 's were allowed to teach while taking intensive remedial English. Since there were no tuition waivers for such courses, st udents had to pay themselves. "It wasn\ implemented in a gr'lceful or realistic way,,. Rennie said . "It's not supposed to be a penalty for the foreign student, but a remedy for the problem with undergraduate students. · .. We want foreign students here, but we want them to speak passable English, and I'm sure they want to, also.,. he scope or the problem was quesby seve.ral .people. . T-"'I'mtioned not so sure we have a foreagn TA problem; we may have a problem with some foreign TA 's," said Dr. Joseph F. Williams, director of the Office of International Ed ucation Services. Individual assessment by the appropriate faculty supervisor is needed. he said . .. Brian Levin-Stankevich , assistant director for admissions, suggested that some or the complaints about people who can\ speak English well may actually be about permanent residents who are recent immigrants. The system now operates not on ~he basis of native language, but on v1sa category, he said. Although some departments require a TOEFL score or interview if a student wasn't educated entirely in the U.S., it's not a Universitywide rule, he said. Oscar Bartochowslci, president or the Graduate Student Association, poses that part or the problem may stem from the arrogance of the American students. "Is it that they don\ understand, or is it that they don\ take the time to listen to a slightly different accent?" he questioned . The issue has been the number o ne complaint or undergraduates for at least. the last five years, according to Lawrence Kojaku, assistant vice president for University Services. Kojaku, who is responsible for enrollment management, said the situ ation is undoubtedly reflected in the fact that we have a higher freshman attrition rate than 0 many of our peer institutions. ·SUNY A seeking new carrier for its malpractice insurance new insurance carrier is being but with the sa me carrier, may also be sought for SUNY's malprac-. affected, said Lawrence Drake, associate tice policy now that the current dean in administration in the School of earner has announced it won' Dental Medicine. renew, but there are no indications from His understand ing is that there'sa very s!:ght possibility the company will give Albany of any long-rim$< problems in getting new coverage. sa1d Kevin Seitz. the chnical practice plan a renewal. assistant vice president for finance and Drake said. management at UB.

Indirectly the visit s rked -ehina 's new outward looking licy, which brought to an _e.!J:<I the traditional Maoist policy of autarky. This change subsequently precipitated. among other things. a flood of international students from China co ming to study here in the U.S. Their numbers today, rovghly 7000. while in no way approaching the magnitudes characteristic of students from couritries such as Iran. Taiwan, and Nigeria. nevertheless mar.k a historic departure from the norm for international student populations in the U.S. And it is interesting to_note that a U.S. law barring visi ts by communists (which has often been used to prevent socialist and marxist intellectuals from Europe and elsewhere from visiting the U.S.) has not been applied against the Chjnesc - which must surely strike some as a major act of hypocrisy on th e part of an Administration that · . prides itself on being staunchly anticommunist.

Arriving here in 1980. he spent roughly two years studying at the Uni versity of Chicago. Two Years in the Melting Pot is an account of some of his experiences during that period. The book , simply but well written, reveals Liu Zo ngren as a person wh o is deeply sensitive. intelligent. and imme n ~ely perceptive. His insatiable hunger to learn as much abou t Americans and their country as possible led him to overcome his natural Oriental A What funds should we accept and what not?EDITOR: . ccording to Dean George Lee, as quoted in the Reporter of 7 March, the recent grant to the UniVersity from the Department of Defense (DO D) to work on the SDI ("Star Wars') system is "just lik.e any other DOD grant. • Well, not quite. Any grant from DOD has, in the standard parlance, a mission-oriented Oavor about it. But some branches of DOD, most notably the Office of Naval Research. have a long and estimable history of supporting basic research independent of particular weapons systems. This is very different from research aimed at producing science or technology' directly applica)>le to a specific military system like th e Star Wars · system . Should the University community be A aspects and are.as .o f American society - sometimes nskmg senous personal injury in the process. For like many other visitors to the U.S. Zongren discovered that violence here is as. Ameri.can as apple p1e - not revoluttonary violence of course, but criminal violence, ranging from meaningless slaughter of random victims by ·•serial" murderers to the sexual and physical abuse of children and everything else in between: rapes, robberies, mugging, .. · etc. But the book is not only about the ·u.s. It also provides glimpses of China (a nation that is as much alien to Americans as the U.S . .is to the Chinese), as the author makes comparisons. Thus at one point he comments: "Western li.fe is very appealing to many yo ung Chinese today, who think that a better life can be achieved by adopting western life-styles .... Let them try they will soon learn." (p. 127) - ric distinct element about Zongren ·s experiences that international student$ from other pans of the world studying here will find no trouble relating to is that concerning adaptation problems. Problems such as homesicknes ; long bouts of physical and mental loneliness; the generally cold and indifferent attitude of most Americans, often masking a raw animosity that wells out of a misguided sense of racial su perio rit y; and feelings of inferiority (us ually in those moments ·when there is a breakdown of intellectual discipline as responses that should be cerebr31 give way to the visceral). It may be parenthetically noted that man y of these types of experiences chat Zongrcn went through ha ve been vindicated by research. See, for example, Foreign Swdentf in the Un;led S101es of America by W. Frank Hull. Jr. (New Yoik : Praeger, 1978). In Zongren's book. international students will also find many an echo of their own observations of U.S. society. For as discussions with international st udents often reveal. an · important motif in their observations (as in Zongren's) is the replacement of the initial awe at the wealth and ni.aterial prosperity enjoyed by most Americans with .a perception of deep contradictions characteristic of U.S. society. 0 concerned about the prove nance of th is particular g'i"nt? I think so. But not because I have doubts about the value of th e research that will be d one qua research. I assume that my faculty colleagues in the School of Engineering have proposed and will do research appropriate for a universit y setti£lg. And I am su re that there are no prohibitions on ffee dissemination of the results of this research. But that is not enough to make it appropriate to acce pt funds for such research. I am sure each of my faculty colleagues could name organizations from which ·it would not be appropriate to accep t funds because to do so would associate th e university with causes or motivations antithetical to th e intellectual missio n of a uni.versity. The opinions expressed in "Viewpoints" pieces are those of the wri· ters and not necessa-rily those of the Reporter. We welcome your comments. "The cold and indifferent attitudes ·of most Americans mask a raw animosity ) arising from feelings of superiority." ltimately, Zon&ren's book is a testimony, on one hand , to the hollowness of the claims to moral superiority that undergird U.S. behavior vis a vis the rest of the world - especially the Soviets and their a11i es; and on the other to an adage that must be coined for the occasion: "absolute wealth 'breeds absolute arrogance and absolute arrogance breeds absolute ignorance." While international students from China and elsewhere will find this book obviously in teresting, it should also be read by Americans in general, and students and teachers in particular. They will find in it examples o[ views and ex periences of people they see eve ry day in classrooms, etc., but witb whom they usually do not interact socially. At the very least they should read it not because they will find it edifying, but because it may help assuage the curiosity that Americans generally betray as to what others really think of them itself symptomatic of a deep sense of insecurity that pervades the national psyche. 0 U logical extension of anthropopathism. It is disturbing to find that in a society where communications technology has ad vanced to th e highest levels imaginable. and where a high premium is placed on open access to information, a great majority of th e people display profound ignorance of affairs national and in ternational. Moreover, the media with the greatest educative and edificatory potential: prime-time television is burdened with programs that are, more often than not , incredibly banal, vulgar, and cerebrally soporific. Meanwhile the only television channel valiantly trying to actualize - Y. G-M. LULAT Mr. Lulat Is a doctoral student from Zambia. benefit from an attempt tb develop this system. You have probably guessed that I am o n the other side. This does not lead me to argue now that this grant sho uld not have been accepted. But it does ca use me to worry that there are no procedures in place at this university which would result in any significant consideration being given to the proprie ty of accepting funds when there may be· va lid objections from a significant proportion of the community to the underlyin~ purposes for which the funds are intended. When a university is hell-bent to improve its position in league tables of academic qualit y, such as the o ne which records the number of research dollars which now through the sys tem, It 1s not hkely th;u administrative officials will giv'e sufficient weight to the orne would no doubt argue that consideration~ I have raised here. And all funds from the Department of it is with no intent to be cri ti cal of any Befe.nse are in th is category. I do not. specific faculty member when I sugsest But neither do I believe that DOD that the rewa rds which now from obtaining such grants m3ke an unbifund s Tor any project whatsoever should necessaril y be acce pted . Th~ rc is ased judgment pn these issues unlikel y cu rrently considerable controversy by anyone applying for a grant. What about whether Star Wars is technologiis needed is a facult y committee to cally feasible, economically defensi ble advise the administration on whether o r politically wise. potentially co ntroversial gran ts should _ ~_s__g_ught or accc~ted ! ~herP. ~dvise·· Most of i.t~ defe_nders ! cern to be from the mohfaty- mdustnal1 s'hotlltfbc read as tmplyong that' rarely would such advice not be taken ). governmental co mmunities wh o would S this potential is shamefully forced to go out to the public with a begging-bowl in hand, to underwrite its survival. But perhaps among the most disturbing contradictions of U.S. society, that must produce a chilling alarm in the minds of those who perceive it is this fact: The relatively unparalleled and unprecedented materia! wealth and economic well-being enjoyed by the majority of Americans (all the more . remarkable considering that their roots are no more than two centuries deep in a land pilfered from tbe Native Americans) resylt from the activities of a massive, capitalistically voracious military-industrial complex that is unjustifiably fueled by nearly half of the world's key resources, and at the heart of which is the relentless profit driven production of weapons of cataclysmic global destruction beyond the comprehension of the human mind (and the by-production of irreversible environmental damage in realms ranging from the genetic to no,a and fauna) . Contradictions, as Zongren found, that are sometimes amusing. sometimes disturbing, and sometimes alarmingly chilling. Thus, for, examgle it is amusing to find th3t a person will invest some 100 dollars or more in a metal detector to look for pennies. The huge population of cats and dogs, and other pets, (probably the largest in the world) points to another am using contradiction: the' pervilsive anthr.opopathism of a people who pride themselves in being scientific and modem. Even that, however, is funher contradicted by a general aversion to vegetarianism - a At one time it could have bef: n anticipated that the student bod y would push the administration in th is direction. But now it appears that a large majority of the students are more interested in the •• reward s'" alluded to . above than in moral issues. Which . leaves only the faculty to push for such a committee. How many of you, whether you agree with me or not about Star Wars, believe that universities need to guard their intellect ual honesty by attending to the question of what funds to accept, what not? 0 - ANTHONY RALSTON Professor of Computer Science -· and Mathematics 0 Her good will is evaporating EDITOR: Re headline: ..Structure does count: undergrad educa tion here has been run by MEN of good will. etc. .. .

Reducing energy loss by one or two per cent can save tens of millions of dollars. . That"s why the Department of Energy awarded a $325,000 grant to William J. Rae. Ph.D .. fo rmerly with th e Aerod ynamic Research Department ~~ Ca.lspan 0 and now a research professor in mechanical and aerospate engineering here. After two years of testing at Calspan 's Tire Research Facility, the project recently shifted into a concluding analytical stage at UB. Rae and his colleague, Dale B. Taulbee, Ph. D .• have found that tire interiors are virtual laboratories for the study of several fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems. Heat transfer - the buildup and migrationofthermal energy - is the heart of a rolling tire's energy budget. "Cavity air is highly turbulent."' reports Rae. It s loshes, loops, lags, and sp urts as the tire turns. The net effect of the washing and churning is that heat is drawn into the cavity: The tempest cools the tire. Ultimately, says Rae , ti re design is governed by operating ~osts. Though a hot, flexible tire wears rapidly. it reduces the amount of fuel needed to overcome rolling resistance: And for the moment, it's cheaper to burn rubber than to burn gas. Their work represents only a first step toward understanding the unexpectedly complex air fl ow patterns inside a rolling 0 tire, says Rae. Cornell ~eeks· ·independence for .the statutory colleges; .

This can only be achieved. he con tended . "if Cornell has the right of direct access to the Governor and the Legislature regarding ou r annual budget proposals." Cornell operates the "State Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Veterinary Medicine, Industrial and Labor Relations, and Human Ecology. At pre en t, Rhodessaid , and for a century past, these colleges have been defined by law as ··col)eg.. furnishing. higher education operated by private institutions on behalf of the State..... "'Since 1948, though. these contract colleges bav.e come under ...the 'general suPervision .. oft he State University trustees. he recalled. Prior to that. the Commissioners of Education who oversaw these operations confined State involvement to financial and fiscal matters. With th e State University trustees. however. ··financial and fiscal issues cannot be sepa rated from educat ional priorities and purpo cs." Rhodes observed. ·•The present ·ambiguous and complicated relationship must be revised and si mplified."" he said. Cornell accepts the overseer role of the State of New York in relation to the statutory or contract colleges. It can continue to accept the "general supervision" of the State University trustees. "However. in order to protect the excellence of these colleges:· Rhodes went on. "we believe, mostfcrventl y. that the contract should be mod ified by statute to recognize and co nfirm the right and duty of Cornell to present our academic and research priorities and our budget for these colleges to th e Governor and th en ' o explain and defend that budget in the Legislature."' The prese nt arrangement. R hades said. " is not calculated to recognize the unique role 6f Cornell as the land grant institution of the State of ew York . It is not designed to foclJs upon research and graduate programs of exceptional quality. It cannot. It is our experience t hat the internal constraints and pressures of the SU Y syste m. with the best will in the world. effectively exclude that possibility."" Cornell will. he said. ""develop a legislati ve pro posal which extends to Cornell th e necessary freedom of access to the elected represe ntati':CS of the people.- the concept cif recreating SU ' Y as a public benefit corporation. While he welco mes the Governor's recent initiatives toward additio nal fle xibilit y. he said . these initiatives do not " appear to achieve all of the goals reco mmended by the ·commf sian a nd embraced within the University's proposed legislatio n ... yson more ve hement , offering D litany of pe rceived abuses which. in his view. the trustees have meddlesomely "The rationale for the Commission's decision to focus this one recommendation out of29 on specifically named campuses should be obvious to anyone .who reads that recommendation within the co ntext of the repon." Blinken said . " It simply reflects the inescapable fact that gradua te educati on and research activities (except for the health sciences) at SUNY's State-operated campuses just do not match up well when compared to th ose sa me activities at other prominent state universities around the country."':, was a inflicted on Cornell - "scandalous" budget cuts in agri~Jtura l resea rch. "shortchanging·· of the College of Veterinary Med ici ne. and pay scales at the statutory colleges below those at the SU ' Y centers. The SU Y bureaucracy. he said. see ks ··control not quality. They plead for freedom for themselve . but refuse the same freedom which is needed for the very same reaso ns at Cornell. They even promise you th at they will deliver excellence when their own record has been one tnat refused to recogni ze it in their own midst much less to value. protect . and · enhance it. .. This is nm to say," Dyson continued. • ••that Cornell's constituent groups would in any way wish to harm S 1 Y or to delay the achievement of excellence there. It is 10 say that we do not believe that freedom alone will do the trick . SUNY will also need courage to make choices and tenacity in the face of troubles if it is to create ex.cellence anywhere within iis systefT! ... S UNY Chairman Blinken noJed that the trustees support none of thC: alternatives which have been advanced to To~he question of whether sUNY as a public corporation would si mply substitute an internal bureaucracy for an external one. Blinken answered no. He had no .. perfect .. answers to questions of which specific activities should be retained in Albany and which should be delegated to the campuses. But to try to do that now. he said. woUld be futile. "It" si mpl y is impossible to an ticipate each eventuality that may arise." Further. any a11emptto address such specifics thro ugh legislation ··might sim pl y recreate the same so rt of inflexibilities we now arc seckihg to correct. .. He called for a middl e ground between blind faith in the trustees and delegation o( aut hority by statute. · The Commission's recommendation ""to bolster SUNY 's research and graduate education capabilities by energetically developing the University cen ters at Buffalo and Stony Brook. ""lllinken said. has "triggered uncenainty and ske pticism nearl y everywhere within the SUNY system except at Stony Brook and Buffalo! Correction!." he added. "even in Western New York the perception in downtown s ·uffalo may not be quite the same as that in Amherst! " . But, Blinken assured, creating "mega ce nters"" at Buffalo and S"tony Bropk does not mean ..slas!Jing flesh and bone elsewhere." The differential treatment among the four university centers. the Trustee Chairman said. ··also reflects a process of logic if one accepts. as the Commission did . the premise th at it would be a poor use of sca rce State r,esources to try to make all four centers 'all things to all people. "The cen ters at Buffalo and Stony Brook already possess quantitative breadth beyond that of the centers at Albany and Binghamton. This fac tor. coupled with geoecondmic fac tors noted in the Commission's r'port made the Commission's •build strength on strength' conclusion almost inescapa ble. Please remember. - the Commission's recommendation did not suggest differentiating among the four ,university centers or between the centers and the other camp uses ib terms of program quality. The Commission r.eport support s what has long been the !!J>ard of Trustees policy: to strive for the highest possible pro· gram quali ty at all SUNY campuses." · This can be done. Blinken proposed. by contin uing. and perhaps selectively sharpening, budget-building tools commonly in use already.

This general relationship now is recognized through enriched faculty-stud ent ratios at the graduate levels._ in faculty staffing models and through similar weighting techniques for oth er categories of expenditure. The sensible way to implement the Commission's recommendations then is to reexamine and fine tune those techniques.

When our Council members first became advocates for increased flexibility. most of us were not sanguine about the outcome. At times. our frustration at our inability to respond to legitimate educational and economic needs has verged on despair. Howeve r, throughout the State people now are responding. We would not be here today if you did not see the problem and have a clear commitment to address it. The pace has quick- , ened. I am now optimistic that public higher education in the State has the best opportunity it has ever had to realize ils "full potential."'

Lawyer/nun specializes in human rights law By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO l._. athleen. Rimar decided to go to UB's law school to get the skills she neeOed fn l\er work. ow she's a full-time clinical instructor here. That doesn't seem unusual until you considerthe fact that Rimar is a Roman Catholic nun. Why is a nun teaching at UB's law school? • "May e the first question should be, why is a un a lawyer?" offc;_red Rimar. who is a mber of the Sisters of St. Francis, with e molb.erhouse at Stella Niagara. . Some assume he became a lawyer · beea~ the church needs legal representation. But Rimar, who specializes in human rights and immigration law, went to law school to get the skills she needed to help the powerless, she said. The j dea grew out of her involvement With the Center for Justice, 2278 Main St., 'Buffalo. The center, which she helped to start in the early 1970s, was set up to respond to social justite issues such as nuclear disarmament, hunger, corporate responsibility: and the refugee issue, she · said. K imar has had few pro.blcms as a nun teaching in a public institution. For R o ne thing. many don't realize she is a nun "The more .that --'priests & nuns are real people, the better." . - KATHLEEN RIMAR One way to respond to issues is to work on the kinds of systems that bring about problems, she noted. "One way to do that was to go to law . · school and get the skjlls to help people who are ·victimized by the structure," Rimar said. . She explained th at she wanted to get power so she could use it for lhe powerless. "J shealladmitted. sounds idealistic - and it is," Rimar said she feels a t responsibility to do this work, but realizes she is not going to change the whole world by herself. She does think she can make a difference, though. "I think we all can," Rimar said, " if we want to. Wlthin our own worlds, we can make a difference. Hopefully we can say at the end of our lives that the world is a different and beller place because I was in it." . In 1976, she started law school at UB. " Initially, I wasn' crazy about law school," she said . BUI once she got to human tights law, she began to see ways to use law in the future. When she graduated ·in 1980, Rimar never really thought about teaching at a Catholic institution. "Number one, I go t the job offer here.·· •he said: "When the opportunity arose to teach the human rights clinic, I jumped at the chance." The human rights clinic was the first such clinic in a law school in the country, she said . It gives st udents a chance for "hand~-<>n" experierice. Students have done research on migrant farm workers in the United States, sexual exploitation of cpildren in this country, and children who are incarcerated with adults in pris~ ons in other parts of the world. . She also runs immigration clinics. The refugee question is o ne in which she is personally involved, she said. Work with Salvadoran refugees is dif· ficul t because, in her opinion, the process for deciding their status isn't as objective as it should be. ... Ninety-nine point nine per cent of them will be denied legal statu; in the U.S.," Rimar said. "Once the legal avenues are used up. they have two alternatives: They can 'get lost ' in the United States and hope they're never found, or they can go to Canada and hope they get legal status." Canada's system, in her estimation, is more objective. "So we do a lot of work helping them get into Canada," she added. he noted that the sanctuary movement is becoming a real issue in· the U.S. There is no declared sanctuary in Buffalo; the nearest is in Rochester, she said. "I personally support the sanct uary movement.·· Ramar said. "It's a difficult position for a lawyer to be in because I'm supposed to be an officer of the court and uphold the laws of my covntry. " I basically agree with that, but there are times in a person's life when there are more important principles to stand up for. If there's a question of following my conscience or the law, there's no problem; the former would win out. "That's when it gets tough. I have commitments to the legal system, but I have overriding commitments to my integrity and to othec people's integrity." Her co nce rn on international human rights took her to Nicaragua for five weeks this spring. She stayed wi!h a fam· ily in ESteli. a little town in the northwest part of the country. ''I have to say it was one of the best · experiences of my life, b~t it was one of · S since she doesn't .wear a habit. · "( think it bothers some people that I don 't wea r a habit."she said. "But I think the more that men and women who are religious can be real peo ple. the more comfortable people are with us. " I think for a long time priests and nuns were seen as apart from the rest of the world: ' not as real people concerned with real issues. But we experience all the same emotions and feelings and have the same type of life-expe riences th at ot her peo ple do." • Titles arc no indication of her vocation. She said she feels most comfortable if her students just call her .i.' Kathy." The st udents in her _larger. firs1-year sections may not even know that she is a min, though word usually gets arouhd the smaller classes. Most are quite com(ortable. though some who have never met a nun before a re sometimes unsure of hoW to act. Some have actually asked her. " how should I treat you?" "Just like you would anybody else," she replies. Her vocation has affected her teaching, just as anyone's beliefs and background would affect his or her teaching, she said . " I hope my values are reflected in what I teach," she said. " I don't hide them: I don' apologi1.e for them. " I don 't expect the students to have the same values. It's important fort hem to be exposed to people with different values so they can choose their own." The word "Catholicism," how~ver. has never come up. "I don't think the ·religion' a perso n is, is as important as the 'person' a person is." she said ... It's more important that th ~y develop a set of values they live by, rather than bei ng any one particular kind of religion." 0 UBriefs Brunskill to head UBF's major gift program Philip J .

He read one letter from a fellow artist, a victim of child abuse, who loved the nme illustrations. ahurin .urged artists to use a hardease portfolio; employ effective record· keeping proced ures to ensure that interviews with prospective clients, etc., are d utifully recorded, and to precl ude sending a prospective client the same promotional tid bit twice. He also told the UB students to only 'keep items in the portfolio that truly represent the artist's best work; get an answering machine; and don) play "Joe Cool" if a beginner and ignorant of the going rate for a particular illustration job. He also to ld students to begin to keep notes on publications they find appealing, and compile a list of prospective clients. Mahurin kept such a "real world" notebook while still in school. "Keep lists of not just publications like nme and Esquire, but also other publications that you like, so that you understand what's happening in illustratiQn. Begin to know who the creative directors and art directors are," he advised ... and what they have done to shape particular pieces." Also, ·•on inteiviews let the art directo r know that you're aware of his or her work; if they can't hire you,.then ask for referrals. ever leave an appointment without getting a referral."' Mahurin said he has received as many as 20 referrals from a single call to an art director. Give tlients 30 days to pay the bil!, Mahurin suggested. Afte rt hat, " bug" the accounts payable department or similar entity without , however, ever pestering the art director who gave you thejob,'he said . Good art directol'li should be respected and cultivated as the frieads they often become. "Editors," he advised, "are the enemy. " They often fail to unde l'litand th e !lrtistic and producti on ramifications of a piece, he said. Mah urin noted that recently, he illustrated a story on actor William Hurt for Playboy, signing the original " M.M." The art director rather sheepishly told Mahurin that the ini tials would have to be excised. Why? Mahurin said he was told the editor feared the initials might be mistaken for those of Marilyn Monroe; the magazine was incl uding a piece on the late actress in the same issue. Those editors! Mah urin's work has also appeared in Mother Jones. Print. Texas Monthly. among other pub1ications, and o n the 0 covers of various record albums. M AHURIN elf-confidence and bravado flooded the room · as wunderkind illustrator Matt Mahurin addressed a packed gathering of UB student artist at Bethune Gallery March 13. He spoke fo r several hours, mixi ng wh at see med , at times, pure ego-tripping with numerous well-chosen tips fo r the beginning illustrator. S Mahurin is certainly in a position to give advice. At the age of 25. he has ill us- · trated both the cover and inside pages of a recent Time report on wife battering, rape, and child abuse - aS 10,000 job. In 1984. he had l40'ind ividual illustrat ion jobs. In 1985, he has done workfor Time. the Los Angeles Timts (for which he has done so me 200 iUustrations ove r the past four years), nme-l.ife Books. Playboy. the DuPont co rporation, two book covel'li, People magazine, Rolling Stone magazine, and the American Film Institute. His gross earnings for Janu ary alone were a cool $47,000. "This is more than most people make and not as much as some others make," he said. Advertisi ng is particularly lucrative, Mahurin continued. ''The sky's tta~ · limit. It's unbelievable bow much yo u can choke t~ose guys _for." Mahurin, speaking in the Art Department's Visiting Artist Lecture Series, accepts the fact that so me will view him as "conceited ," but is still ready to offer his advice. " I'm going to give you a lot of information," he told the crowd at the beginning of the lecture. '' Information that would have helped me at a similar point in my career ... Mahurin said it's a voyage into nowhere to .. start at the bottom and work up.• The serious illustrator directly approaches those publications, or other illustration markets, which he or she .. respects. " Movingamongsop,hi raicated , have a reputation for being fast. " ~'I knowledgeable art directors 11ls0'--))Rs its own rewards, he said. He believes acceptance by these individuals offers a ;nore valid assessment of one's skills than does starting with "Joe's Paste-Up S hop· in Queens." _ He added : " In terms of being in one place, there is no place like New York," although "75 per cent " of Mahurin's wo rk is done for out-of-town clients. He would have a much less d istinguished career, he said,.without access to Federal Express and its ove01ight delivery services. In fact, at the conclusion of the Bethune lecture, Mahurin began an illustration for the op-ed page of the Los Angeles Times. a bare hour' before the completed graphic (which concerned the lack of political directi on and structural cohesion in the Democratic Party) was due at Buffalo's Federal E)(press office. Mahurin fi nished in time, even signing the delivery slip before the students' eyes. Said Mahurin: .. I have a reputati on for being fast. . .. I generally tum in things as soon as possible . ... I know th is has helped me get jobs." But speed is only part of the picture. Talent, of coul'lie, is indispensible. "If your wo rk is good, and you- have a healthy attitude and you don' smell bad, you11 get the (illustration) job." The heal t hy attitude encompasses selfconfidence; effective and unpretentious marketing techniques; and firm adherence tb one's artistic ethos. Of course, getting in to see the appro- priate art director is no easy task : Mahurin described the admittedly "sneaky" tactics he used to see New York and Los Angeles art directol'li before his cu rrent demand in the graphics world . ••no anything to get in to see someone a lot of viable bullshit is needed . . . You've got to be sneaky, boy." He said lying to counteract the difficulties inhererlt in starting out, diffel'li drastically from lying to mask a fault y talent._He does not advocate the latter. Almost always, an aggressive, imaginative marketirig posture is required, said the New York illustrator, who now makes his home in Manhattan . In the case of the Time job, Mahurin was initially asked to provide illustrations for only one ofthre<; subject areas covered by the magazine's long piece on violence. " I knew Time killed a lot of art." So, he did ten pieces in a week, thereby providing illustrations for all three subject areas (other artists had been asked 10 provide graphics fo r the remaining two segments). Eventually, Mahurin's ideas prevailed . Needless to say, getting the job mvo lved opo rtun ism and moxie on Mahurin's part. Still, "I was really scared. Time. a very conservative magazine, had never done anything like this," Mahurin said, noting the grotesque, violent character of his images. Even so, Mahurin was on target. The work for Time, his first magiz.i ne cover ever, .. was the most piv.otalthing in my career."

He has earned 14 national awards for his work , including several for Bradbury stories he had already produced on his own . " I met Ray Bradbury when I was a teenager," McDonough notes , " so 1 was particularly pleased when he encouraged me to adapt h is stories for radio." Absent the visual effects or movies and TV , aud io drama must use very specific, but very simple sounds to induce a p icture in the mi nd of the listener. When it came time to beg1n work On Bredtiury 13 at Brigham Young University:.S Media Productions studio - where he is employed as an en"gineer - McDo· nough decided he iL¥>1 couldn't use "gunky old sound effects." He got his fi rst tape recorder at the age of eight, and began tapping into the speakers at drive-in movies with alligator clips in order to record the sounCUracks. He spenthours listening to the sound effects i n movies fike "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and the early James Bond films; he became so familiar with By QUINT B. RANDLE cenain effects tha t he could watch an old movie on Tv -and tell which Hollywood studio it came from JUSt by listening to a few sound effects. " It got to the po int where I thought if I heard onol! more Universal Studio's door slam I'd go crazy," he recalls. Another example of a well-worn sound- library 1tem is. a " thunderclap and roll " from the original ver· sion of " Frankenstein.'' recorded in 1931 and used over and over again since, 1n everything from "Star Trek It! " to Disneyland's Haunted. Mansion . It's a cfassic recording, says McDonough , but w1th today 's equipment it's possible to make much more effective sound cues. To illustrate. he plays a thunderclap and roll that blows the listener across the room . He made tape himself. w ith a Nagra 45 -(a mov1e induStry standard for most remOte recording situations) and a pair of Electro--Voice RE-20 microphones, whi le productng Bradbury 13.

Terry got her bachelor's degree· in education in 1972 and later her master's degree at the State Univer· sity of New York at Buffalo. Just after receiving her teachi ng certificate and before attending graduate school, she took a teaching position at one of Buffalo's tougher schools where the job lasted less than six weeks. " !left having no idea of what kind of work I was going to do after that ," she said . " I really d~spaired . I thought: I'm 21 and I'm already a failure at my chosen career! " She spent some time trying out various jobs in the Buffalo area until she heard about an opening at WBFO for a host of a show called Women Power wh ich Terry descri bed as "a magazine of women's issues rang ing from health to relat ionships to politics." That was followed by a show called Signet to Noise. "a program of interviews with artists who worked with electronic mediums:· Finally Terry worked on the magcizine show Th is Is R•dlo which she co-produced . Said Terry, "When I worked at WBFO I really thought it was an extrordinary station. And looking back at it , I S till think it was an extraord inary station .. .Another thing I'll always be thankful for is • that station really taught me high standards." Terry obviously continues in the tradition of hard work ..and a lot of effort , as the results will show. She has one of the most up-and-up shows on the Philadelph ia airwaves. and there seems to be no end in sight. Her plans for the future include a lot more of Fresh Air. "We want to produce a show that people will enjoy listening to!" Fresh Air, will air on WBFO Fridays at 12:30 p.m. beginning April 12.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A The group was addressed by Donald S. Kreger. a public safety officer representing University Police Local I 792. Thc>union represents officers and investi ators, he explained. There is a crime problem on campus, Kreger con- tended. Campus officers face the same kinds of incidents that face the Buffalo and Amherst po lice, he indicated. Campus officers are also required to take the same tests and go through the same training - including firearms training - as the municipal officers. he said. · But when it is~uspected that weapons are involved in a call, campus officers won' respond because they don' hav.e firearms and don' feel safe, Kreger said. They will call the Amherst or Buffalo police to respond. "Our officers don' feel safe anymore," Kreger contended. ·•tf we suspect th ere's a weapon involved. we're not going. Where does that leave the general public? "I want to be able to do my job. But I'm not going to risk my life if the University doesn't care about us. It doesn' really app,.ar as though th ey care about us." Earlier appeals by public safety officers for use of weapons both here and at Buffalo State drew no suppan from top campus administrators. · Kreger offered statistics in support of what he called UB's crime problem. There were more than 1,500 crimes on both campuses in 1984, accord ing to his figures. Numbers aren't as indicative as is a look at the type of incidents, he went on. These have included robbery, rape, weapons possession and homicide. Knives, a handgun and a sawed-off shotgun have been used , he said. ..

That suits some people just fine. he said. It goes along with what he calls the -New York Syndrome."" -That"s where Big Brother knows 11est,"' he explained. "'and authority up high is better than individual authority."' People will grouse when someone elst makes the decisions, but it saves them from taking responsi bility- it's safe, he said . In Barry'sylan, there would be a head of the undergraduate college who has the aulllority to bring the college together. The faculties would be eliminated, so departments would have to accept responsibi\jty, he-said. The ro~ of DUE is especially conf mg m both the ADCAS and present systems, he said. "If you try and describe what DUE does, I swear, no one could tell you,'"' he contended. he big problem with DUE is that it dido\ have a budget, he said. It was supposed to have power over all of undergraduate education., but it got its resources through the deans. When funds got tight and the deans didn't want to hand over the money, DUE had no power. Funding for the undergraduate college in Bunn's proposal is not clear, Barry said. Barry noted that it sounds a·s if the college wouldn ~ have its own budget, but when he asked that question, he didn't get a satisfactory answer. ''M-ake the animal sim ple and give it some teeth," is Barry's guideline on the undergraduate college. He thinks it's important for the college to have its own budget. · "Money is teeth," he said. Not everybody would be picked to teach in the undergraduate college, he maintains. Those chosen would be paid out of college funds. Barry's proposed structure doesn't conflict with U B's goal of becoming one T of the top research un iversities in the country he said. His structure is the same as thos~ used at the University of Arizona the University of Colorado, Cal/ Davi~. the University of Florida, the University of Georgia and Texas A&M- the institutions which are descnbed as our aspirational peers, he said. Some people are concerned that teaching will interfere with their research. Those kinds of attitudes are fine in the graduate schools, but not th e undergraduate college, .he indicated. " Resea rch for its own sake that's not linked to teaching is not a concern of the undergraduatecolleg~ ... he said. "It is not an issue if the goal ts student-centered undergraduate teaching." .. Other people s~e his structure as pos!ng problems when tt comes to promotion and tenure, but Barry disagrees. Instead of writing one letter, the department chair would simply write two. One on teaching would go to the head of the undergraduate college and one on research would go to the ~raduateschool. "At last, built into the System, is so mething that says teaching actually counts," he said. "When a good researcher who is a rotten teacher iS denied tenure, we 11 know it's working." said that more than restructuring is needed. B"I arry don't want to create just a new administrative structure, but a plan of action to respond to the community's needs for education,'" he said . This plan would iriclvde '"integrative education" where arts and sciences majors would be required to take a minor in a technical field. Likewise, those majoring in technical fields would have to minor in arts and sciences. Because of demographics, the University will probably be admitting students who need remedial education, Barry said . A remedial education office would be a function of the undergraduate college, not shunted off on the math or English deyartments. The changes he proposed have to be made to make the University attracti ve to undergraduates, Barry maintains. "We have to make it clear to the community that they can get the education they can't get elsewhere because we have more resources," he said, "and that we use those resources for their benefit, not our own"' 0 Arming From page 7 students.

Two unrelated sexual abuse incidents occurred on the Main Street and Amherst campuses during the same week in February, Kreger pointed out. The incident on the Amherst Camp us is believed to be related to a series of similar assaults that have occurred in the past year in the Ellicott Complex. At the beginning of March, a man wanted for the murder of a Westchester County police officer had been on the Main Street Campus visiting a student. The suspect allegedly stole the car of a Mount Vernon woman wh.o has been missing si nce Feb. 25 . It is theorized that the suspect may have worn a .. wig" made from her scalp to cross the border into Canada. He was captured in Toronto. Generally, the serious offenses are not committ.ed by students, but by career criminals, Kreger said. The criminals know UB is "an easy place to rip orr· where they can get expensive typewriters and com puler equi_pment, he said. because we are not armed and we wear brown uniforms," Kreger said. "They don't think of us as real police. People don't understand that we 're already trained."' reger said he can't promise that the crime rate on campus will go down if campus officers are armed. Three SUNY campuses have armed officers. At Oswego, there was a drastic reduction in the crime rate after the arming of officers; a.t Brockport, there was a reduction, but at Albany, the rate continued to rise, he said . Kreger asserts that the ca es campus officers face ·are the same type that Amherst or Buffalo police see. However, since campus officers aren 't 1lrmed, they must call in the municipal police, Kreger said. .. The Main Street Campus~s located in Precinct 16," he said. "That's the largest and busiest precinct in the city. The Buf(aJo Police aren't waiting around for us to call."' Kreger argued that the municipal police often don't know their way around the campuses. Campus officers have to go through the same tests and training as municipal officers, Kreger said. The campus officers must hav.e a college degree before tak ing the civil service test, while municipal officers (except in Nassau County) need only a high school diploma, he reported. · Then the campus officers take the same K enerally. comments at the meeting were sympathetic to Kreger's stand . It was suggested, however. that he get more figures to back up his case. It was also suggested that he work for some sort of compromise of his request for 24-houra~ay arming. John Ellison of the School of Information and Library Studies suggested that instead of having the officers carry firearms, it would be a better idea to have the weapons in the car. Kreger noted that would pose a problem of people breaki ng into the cars. It was also suggested that the weapons could be locked up in some central location and checked out when needed. The problem with that is that the officers never know when guns will be needed, Kreger,said. " Last week we confiscated five knives from people,"' he said. "Until we got there, we didn't know they were armed.'' Richard Siggelkow, professor of counseling and educational psychology, suggested the use of"'stun guns." Kreger said the problem with those devices is that the officer must be right next to the person to use it. It works well for somebody who is out of control because of drugs, but if the person is armed , it's not useful, Kreger said. Bill Barba, assistant dean of the Graduate School, said that he had been assistant to the president at _Canisius College . After several violen t crir:Qes, that college decided to arm its police. He is not aware of any misuse of the arms, Barba said . If a crime occurred in someone 's home, that person wouldn't expect the Amherst Police to arrive with a nightstick. Barba . noted. "We have this mystique of the ivory tower," he said . '"Because we don't want deviant behavior, we lhink it won't happen." • Michael Frisch; professor of history, said that more public safety cars, better communication equipment, _better lighting on campus, and more officers _would help fight crime, but he questioned G whether arms are needed . 'Tm not saying arms will do it all," Krege r answered . "But we can't deal with the violent crimes that do occ;._ur." He added that public safety was promised five more "lines" or employee positions, and now they've heard they may get only one or two. With the campus unrest of 1970 still fresh in several faculty members' minds, the question arose several times on whether arming campus officers might make the campus more dangerous. " I t's an emotional issue as well as a logical issue," noted Faculty Senate Chairman Dennis Malone. "A lot of people think it will build in a potential ·for a Kent State."' Kreger said that New York is the only state that doesn't routinely arm its campus police. There's never been an incident in the nation where a campus officer used a weapon improperly, he said . [The Kent State incident was attributed to national guard personnel.] The strongest criticism by far came from Benjamin Sanders of the Department of Biochemistry. He noted that private citizens, who have no training, will so metimes go into a dangerous situation to help someone in need. If the campus officers don 't answer these kind s of calls, "'you're not doing your job. "' he told Kreger. Calvin Ritchie of Chemistry said that the University must decide what son of a job it wants public safety to do. If UB wants the officers only to give out park- ing tickets, it 's fine to ask them to do that without arms. But if they want the offic· ers to protect people, they should have the tools to do that, Ritchie said . Questions arose on what sort of gun!!. the officers wou ld use and in what situations they would be permitted. Kreger explained that those rules are set out in SUNY -wide guidelines. In addition, the campus would establish its own, more restrictive rules, he said. He feels sure that those rules would not permit firing at "fleeing felons ," but otily to protect the life of the officer or someone else. Some of the SUNY rules are: • When written authorization is given to campus officers to carry firearms on duty, the weapon is to be a state-owned, not less than .38-caliber revolver. • A campus security officer may draw and fire the weapon when all reasonable means for protection of the officer and / or others in his presence have been exhausted and such action is necessary to defend the officer or another person from what is believed to be the use or imminent use of deadly fo rce. (The weapon may also be drawn for training and c lea ning. and another set of rules govern those uses). • · • Firearms are not to be worn while working with crowds, whether or not the gatherings are violent, unless specifically authorized by the chief admmistrati ve officer. • Campus officers may not fire warning shots. 0 REHSED LIBRARY SCHEDULE T he ~ollo~ing list indicates changes in University Libraries' hours in conjunct ton. with the revised academic calendar of Spring 1985.

T Geologists & engineers study how ice affects state's shorelines By MILT CARLl ver hear of an .. ice volcano?" That's one of the many aspects of "nearshore ice dynamics" being st ud ied by a team of research scientists and students at UB . The resea rch project is being conducted under a three-year. $165.000 contract from the New York Sea Grant Institute , which is operated by Sta te University of New York and Cornell University to st udy the state's coastal problems, both inland and along the Atlantic shoreline, and to aid in the development and management of marine and coastal resources.

Ice, of course, is one of the problems. that plague New York State's in land coastal areas, causing shoreline erosion, disruplion of shipping and fishing each winter, and destruction of docks and other shoreline structures in its path.

They svggest that the process might be initiated by a "standing edgewave," with growth of the mounds "maintained by ordinary onshore lake waves."

T he d isplay is in Lockwood Memorial Library , in the second floor reference section. The term ··end paper'' refe rs to the inside of the cover and the faci ng.page as o ne opens a b"'!k. During the ! 9th ce n- tury, it was commqn practice to o~corate these pages att hefro11t and Jw;k of books wit h colorful and qtricate l?atterns known as marbling. Tile marbhng was · o riginally da ne by ha nd, a nd it developed int o a skilled t rade. Each cou ntry created its own patterns, and each artist devised his own styles. T he marbled pa per was made by droppi ng colors onto a gel solution in a shallow vat a nd a rranging the colors into the desired pauem wit h a comb. Paper was gently laid onto the surface of t his solu- tion until the colors trans(erred to the pa per. Each style demanded its own lillie variation in the arrangement of dyes. oils, and che micals. The steps taken to make t he shell pat· tern give a ~ood exam ple of the int ricacies of the enure process. First t he ground colors were chosen and t hen made into rings of circles o n the gel in the vat. Next olive oil was added, then combed and swi rled into the desired finish . Paper was put on top of the gel until the pauern set m. Afte r drying. the paper was ready fo r use and given to the bookbinders. A style known as Stormont originated in Italy·, and is characterized by the impressio n it gives of le avi ng tiny holes in a pattern . The effect was achie ved by sprinkling turpentine on the gel before the paper was d ipped into th e vat. Myth has it that Sto rmont paper was discovered by a wo rker wh o was suffering from a terrible han gover, and with trembling hand s accidentally spilled the tur· pentine into a vat. The nonpareil or comb pattern was used in many countries si nce it was the base pattern for many different styles. A special comb was used to whirl colors in a vat from side to side. Then the full patterns were developed which suggested peacocks, curlicues, and shells. he Lockwood endpapers exhibit was assembled by Associate Librarian Marilyn Haas. Haas explained that each lib ranan is given the opponunity to plan a display for the lobby of Lockwood. Since old books have always been fascinating to her, she decided the marbled endpapers would be an ideal to pic to high light. She emphasized that these books are not of any great value. "All of the books for the ex hibit came right from the shelves of Lockwood. That's how 1 arrived at the title ' Everyday Elegance.' • According to Haas, it was relatively easy to find the boo ks o n the shelves beca use th e s pines of the I).Pol<s.Jt[e.usJl_· ally indicat ive of marOiinl!. ~ Th e demise of the decorat ive endp apers began when the switc.h was mad e from handmade to machine marbling. The mach ine marbling wasn't as attractive as the handcrafted · papers. Also. after the inve ntion of book binding machines, these endpapers became unpop:Jiar with printers. The papers with dyes and pat· terns were much more difficult to machine bind than regular rag or pulp, making it a ·more expensive process. So the changing tastes of the con umercombined with economic considerations led to the decline in the use o f marbled endpapers.

Hts remarks are pnnted below. By BR UCI~.JACKSON asked if I would speak about the Iandwas relationship between my own work Michel Foucaull's and if I would say something about the applicability of Foucault's wo rk to the fields l know. First the persona\ part. We met here in Buffa l o in the l ate 1960s. UB was an interesting place in those years: the faculty was yo ung and energetic and ambitious, th ere was enough money for interesting visitors who found here a kind of conversation that made many of them want to come back again and again. This was. then. one of Foucault's favorite places. II was for him what Rio de Janeiro became for him in the next decade: a place to get away from the clutter of Paris and talk to people he liked about things that mattered , a place that was real and important and full of energy and curiosity, a place to hang out. He was an important thinker whose work mattered to my own, but he was also a frie nd . On numerous occasio ns he provided on his own initiative wonderfu l professional generosi ty. Mi chel wrote the preface for one of my books in the Terre Humaine series and he invited Diane [Christian] and me to the College de France to screen Death Row and to discuss our worlc . He arranged for us to spend a day at Poissy, a French prison not far from from Pans. He accompanied us to and helped us survive a horribly bungled press conference in Place Bastille. The meeting I remember best was one June evening when he cooked d inner for us in his rue Garanciere flat and we talked about writing and teaching and about the difficulty of finding good • translators (Michel's I. Pierre Riviere. having the inside and as an occasion for d iscussing repressive politics from th e outside. My writing about the prison world was bifurcatesf in the American way: in academic pages I was objective and analytical: in public pages I was political and often polemicaL Michel, in a way that may be es pecially French , was able to combine a ll of those modes of discourse. Politics for him was so central an aspect of society it was never separable. Our discussions about our different takes on the sarne structure and process were. I think , mutually informing. Michel kne"" slaughtered my mother. my sister. and the .bistoricallogic of the world of represmy brother... had just been published ill' sio n and control far better than I, and I English and my Leurs prisons had just knew the practical aspects of that life in been published in French; both books : far more detail than he.

We conversations, th at things I considered talked about power in government and . idiosyncratic and specific were perhaps power in the university and power in the universal and paradigmatic. several institutions we knew directly. (We were all professors , su pported by governmen t institutions. Diane had spe nt e told us that he and some friends years in a convent, and she and I had only had been so successful in their work a few weeks earlier done field work in an with prisoners in one French prison that Arkansas prison farm . And Foucault 's the inmates had, shortly after one of their Survei/ler et punir had just been pubvisits, gone on strike and then had a riot. lished by Gallimard.) "A nd what happened to them next?" I In the 1960s and early 1970s we both asked him. were involved with prisons, though for " What?" he said . . differe nt reasons and in different ways. "What happened to them next?" I We both wrote about them. Michel saw asked again. prison as a manifestation of a pa~adig­ "They underswod.'" Michel said, in matic idea of social order and I saw ll as a English. way to examine operative c~l ture from My question had to do with practical H and co rporal mailers: What did the guard s do to the bodies of those prisoners after the famous intellectuals left and took with them their immediate access to the French press? Michel's answer had to do with the utility of discourse: for him next was a state of perception that broke radically with the state of ex perience preceding it. We both knew there was no point carrying this one further, though I doubt either of us knew why. At the time I ascribed Michel's abstract response to h_is naivete. But Foucault was surely not nai ve. Then, a year or two later, I ascribed it to his love of talk. Talk is, after all, as basic a French activity and product as the making or drinking of wine. If an American asks another American, .. What were you doing?" and gets for an answer ..Talking," the first American responds, " Talking about what?" I think few French in tellectuals would see that fo llowup question about to pic as at all . necessary. We Americans need a subject to justify or legitimize or ratify the encounter, but for the French intellectual, talk can be its owrtjustification and quality of discourse its own ratification; a subject is merely th e occasion. Then I decided that wasn ~ it either. I was still trivialiring. If Michel wanted conv~ersation , the cafes of Patjs offered a more convenient ambiance. and if he · ~anted_ merely.to utt.er without interrupuon , h1s salle 10 the College provided a more adoring and atten tive audience. Now I think it was his benign pessimism. He knew that few actS of any Kind and even fewer volitio nal acts change anything ve ry much . The radical discontinuities in human consciousness Fou· cault was so good at revealing were never the result of mere decisions and they were never apparent to the individuals affected by them most directly. The ideas that profoundly intersect our lives make sense later, not before. He wou ld argu.e that o ur individual triumphs are pred1· cated not on mastering the orders that surround and infuse our worlds, but r"ather on understanding them. We always lose the quoti dian baHles; all the manipulators of power in all the fields of power-Foucault examined were th emselves subject to other manipu lators of power; peace and absolute power existed nowhere, and Death, after all, closes all the conversations. But it isn 't the Silences, the denouements of the conversations, that being sensate and thinking_human being 1is all about. Those pnsoners. Michel felt , now beller understood the nature of what he perceived as the~r oppression, what he thought was th~IT condi t ion . Whatever the guards . d1d after the intellectuals went home, the conviets would petforee be happier. If the prisoners saw their condi tion mad~ better. they would understand the'trans!ence and irrelevance of that betterment: 1f the guards became more brutal, the prisoners a �March 14, 1985 Volume 16 No. 22 would better understand the transience ~nd irrel~vance of that marginal increase bru_tahty. Knowing, he said on another occ~wn, may not change what is going on; It. alw_ays changes the meaning of what ts gomg on. tn isto~y is ~n art based on d_iscoverY of H the mevttable, and in that regard , f~r me, Foucault is one of the greatest of htstonans. He provides a wonderful and grand logic for moments of inspiration that are otherwise anomalous o r flukey or idiosyncratic. It is Foucault. for example, more than any historian of nationalism or any scholar of folklore, who makes sense oft he Brothers Grimm . Foucault points out that it is the discovery of a linguistics of language as spoken rather than the reaniculation of a language as writlcn that ennobles the peasant voices the Grimms elected to record. Grimmsian Nationalism is an application of that transition and perception, not the cause of it. Foucault, in the same c,xt rao rd inary essay, likewise provides us cobtexts in which Compte and Marx and 'Freud beco=not only explainable, but probab and reasonable. Scholars in my two fields - criminology and folklore - have made lillie use of Foucault. The anthropologist Clifford Geertz has written intelligently of him, but I know of few other anthropologists who have been ,at all comfortable with or receptive to Foucault's imagination . Perhaps it is because most scholars in those fields are still very much in the Linnaean phase of development: they are so much mvol ved in rtie description of behavior and the discernment of categories th ey have not yet had t ime to examine the character of behavior or acknowledge th e parochialism of categories. The part of Foucault's work I like most and have found most useful is his insistence that we examine things for the o rder of which they are a pan rather than the anomalies they seem to be ... I tried , .. he wrote in the foreword to the English edition of Les Mots et /es chases [The Order of Things]. "to explore scientific discourse not from the point of view of the individ uals who are speaking. no r fro m the point of view of the formal structures of what th ey a re saying. but fro m the point of view o f the rules t hat co me into play in the very existence of such discourse. . . " In social scie nce, in all th e scie nces fo r that matter, limn ing the o dd o r exce ptional or beautiful is easy. Studies that describe murder o r perversio n o r war o r disease are plentiful and unamb iguo us and often boring. Seeing such things or momen ts as one with the o rd inary is no t easy at all. What Foucault did so well was look at things and say "What is the structure or o rd e r in which 1his makes se nse?" rather than "Here's something o dd o r peculiar: sit st ill wh ile I tell yo u ab out it. " oucault is one of th e few socia l an alysts whose wo rk regularly un fi ts readers to continue loo king a t things o r ideas or instituti o ns in the same way. His archaeologies uncove r sensible o rd er in what previously seemed slo ppiness o r incompetence or foolishness o r malevolence or randomness. Foucault insists that the present can never full y explain . itself: each moment necessarily inco rporates and responds to the detritus of the past , howeverdisco ntinJJOUS the relatio nship. If nothing else, as Geertz pointed out, the present mo ment occ upi es the F space carved and shaped and abandoned by the previous moment. ~II ou r instituti ons, however deplorable o r puzzling their current behavior, make sense, but the sec ret _oft he order is not foun d merely ~y watchmg and measuring the institutiOns as they perfonn their daily work. Rather. one must carefully un cover the fragments of thought that have made them _w hat they have become. It is hardly surpnsmg that many scho lars in the human sciences pretend Foucault is opaque but in fact find him in to lerable and dangerous. His subject was not the variou s ways in which we make · sense of the world , though he wrote well of those processes. but rather the processes by wh ich we made the world se nsible. Not what we thought , but how we thought. He is the historian of the architectonics of facts. not of facts themselves. The prison ma ttered for Foucault because o f what it revealed of the order that required us to have a priso n: the disco very o f madnes s mattered to Fo ucault because ~ of what that di sco very implied abo ut the nature oft he civilizat ion that need ed madness to define itself. .

The invest igation , conducted by Rodney L. Doran, Ph.D .• professor of science education at UB, and Willard J . Jacobson of Teachers College, Columbia University, found that boys consistently outscore girls in their knowledge of science, with the greatest discrepancy occurring in the physical sciences area. " It's disappointing, but whether we like it or not the gender gap is still there in science achievement,... Doran remarked. The study, pan of the Second International Science Study, involved tests of fifth and ninth grade students and twelfth graders enrolled in physics and those not studying science. Similar tests were administered by researchers to students in 24 other countries, incl ud ing China, .Japan. England. and Australia. An analysis of how students fared in science compared to peers in other countries should he completed next year. Doran and J acobson found that performance disparity between boys and girls widened as thrir grade level increased, except for twelfth grade physics st udents, who showed the smallest gender difference. One reason for this finding, Doran speculates, is that girls-generally begin to stop taking science courses "as soon as they can," often after biology. However, when girls do continue with their science education and receive the same classroom and lab experiences as boys, they do well. 3](~f··:9:. ·O·p . ·o. t is no coincidence that boys in the fifth grade performed better on questions Iconcerning familiar objects in their high, she will not he_ able to go on to advanced setence studtes Without doing a lot of basic catch-up work. environment. For instance, more fifth grade boys than girls knew about the correct placement of batteries in a flash tight, the reason why a thrown ball comes back to the ground, and how fish get oxygen. Girls, on the other hand, did better on questions concerning a balanced diet, knowledge of seeds, and why a rubbed comb can pick up small bits of paper. At the fifth grade level, boys outperformed girls on 53 items, and girls scored better on four. Ninth grade boys outscored girls on 65 items, versus three for females. Here again, ninth grade girls did better on biology-related questions, such as those dealing with seed germination, heredity, and t he location of human organs, while boys scored higher on all physical science items. Twelfth grade boys scored better o n all core test i tem ~ except one. The gender gap in the sciences worries Doran. He had hoped that since 1970, when the First International Science Study was conducted, girls would have made more headway in science achieve~ ment relative to boys. Instead, the researchers found that while science achievement, in general, is up since the first study, girls still sadly lag behind boys. "Whenever we lop off a portion of the population early on, we reduce their opportunities and we lose their talents,"' he commented. And the problem is not easily solved, .Doran adds, because science, like mathematics, is learned sequentially. This mea~s tha~ when !! youn11 w_o m.an stops taking scu:nce courses m JUntor ust why girl~ fare w~rs~ than boys in th~ hard sc1ences IS a complicated quesuon. It's probably not for a lack of models guesses Doran, since 65 per cent of ele: menta.ry school teachers are women and at least in the last decade, as many females are depicted in science texts as males. Moreover, ec;iucators as a group are str.ongly comrntttc:d to equality of educat1on and are not likely to mtemion· ally discriminate against females in their classrooms. . What may he the problem, he theonzes, IS that elementary school teachers are .not as strong. i~ the scien~es as they are 10 the humamues and soctal ciences areas. Because they are not ··science confident," Doran suspects, they rely on pa>siv~ .. book Iear:ning., in~ea~ of engaging t~eu ~tudents 10 .more acuve learning·• sttuauons such as demonstrations. where they can get hands on experience. A cti'~ learning can be panicularly helpful for gtrls, who frequently lack experience in handling or manipulating gadget and objects. To help elementary teachers become more science confident, Doran sugge!ILs. that schdol districts develop in-service programs that, for example. could show teachers "bow to integrate science into a reading or writing lesson. Instead of reading about Dic:Ic and Jane going to the store, it might he more l!eneficial for students to read about Dick and Jane conducting a simple experiment or doing something in their environment, Doran submits.

Basic attitudes towards science have to be modified, so any change will likely occur incrementally, over a period of years. Right or wrong, society has put science on the back burner, says Doran, and it will take some time before tbat trend is reversed. Meanwhile, parents may be able to belp tbeir dauabters in science achievement by paying more attention to tbe toys tbey buy tbem. Instead oftca sets, parents might consider a flashlight or an aqua- rium, which can serve as info.m I teaching aids. "Perhaps we haven l yet learned that girls can handle and play with the same material as boys, and vice versa,'' Doran asserted. While Doran believes students should be encouraged to take science courses, he isn l convinced that mandating students to take more oftbem will improve science achievement. "If all we do is offer the same kinds of science courses to students who aren't science prone, then it won't work," he ~H,OH fH~ c- - o c IJr H - OH I \ H/ I c----c i H secretarial lines. Rather than wait four months to get a manuscript typed, some professors are now typing the&r own." Other science departments have been able to blunt the effect of similar cutbacks by shifting federal money to underwrite support services. But until very recently the primary granting agency for mathematics research, the National Science Foundation, funded little more than summer salaries. and that only for tbe most distinguished scholars in the country. "The funding reductions hit math harder than any other science," says Coburn. Though NSF has responded positively to the David Report, federal money at U B currently supports the equivalent of only 2.5 math research assistants for a faculty of 41 members. By contrast, the Mechanical an d Aerospace Engineering Dep artm en t , with 25 members. has 15 research assistants. Given th e nature of mathematics and the present low level of fede ral support. Coburn is co ncerned about an ind ex of departmental success th ai' places too much weight on the ability to attract outside funds. Coburn agrees with the David Report that the peculiar nature of mathematics research an<j lack of foresight and political savvy in th'e mathematics community contributed to the problem. "For almost two "decades the attitudes of funding agencies and university administrators bad been 'they11 do it anyway,' meaning that because we don' rely on expensive hardware and student labo r like other sciences, we,l go on with our research With or without financial support," says Coburn. By and large that was true, he admits. Mathematicians remained strangely silent while teaching loads inc reased advises. Instead, Doran would like to see different kinds of science courses developed to attract students, courses that stress knowledge transfer and address the interface between science and technology and emphasize human and ecological concerns. "Educators once assumed that if you taught a student science, the- student would be able to apply the classroom experience to a real world situation. But transfer of learning is difficult. It must be taught and experienoed," he advises. 0 H, /~ -O-C H H I NAZI LEGACY: KLAUS BARBIE AND THE INTERNATIONAL FASCIST CONNECTION h) MagnuJo Lin l..l:uer, ! ~bel Hihun. :aod Neal Aschersnn ( Holt.

" We also were hurt by our aloofness from applications like computer science," Coburn observes. "The computer was invented by mathematicians. The computer age could've done for mathematics what the atomic age did for physics." Instead, mathematics and computer science went separate ways, the latter taking thousands of poteniial math majors with it. "The computer age .could have done for math what the atomic age did for physics." "R ecruitment is now very difficult," reports Coburn: "There aren l enough Americans with Ph.D.'s to fill the available assista nt professorship openings in the country." As a result, salaries have increased considerably in recent years. The job crisis likely will worse_n I H before it improves: a large number of senior mathematicians - including the brillia nt European emigres largely responsible for the post World War II renaissance in .U.S. mathematics will retire over the next decade or so. According to Gerald R. Rising, Ph.D., UB professor of learning and instruction and director of the University's Gifted Math Program, which provides special instruction to seventh to twelfth graders identified as being gifted in math, tbe classroom has been no less affected than research. "We've lost a generation of high quality mathematicians while the actual number of math st udents has increased,·· he contends. Undergraduate education is threatened. A teacher with a Ph.

Both men express hope that NSF will continue to implement the recommendations of tbe Davi\1 Report, that tbe Universit}• will recognize aod support the essential contribution of mathe111atics to all science and technol- · ogy. and that the mathematics community will remain vigilant to prevent the calamity of the last 15 years from happening agam. 0 LIFE AND DEATH tN PSYCHOANALYStS by Jean Laplanchc (Johns Hopkins University Press, S9.9S).

Michii leads an adventure in the learning of Japanese "I - By CONN I E O SWA L D STOF K O think it's kind of an adve nturous co ncept ," said D r.

The program in volves 13 seniors from the district's three high schools who meet from 12:30 to 2:45p.m. each weekday that "s t h ree class period s a day. The emphasis of the program is on culture. " It's a pretty structured way to approach culture, .. Michii said. For instance, students learn that in E nglish, ab out 85 per cent of the message is conveyed by bod y language, whi le only about 30 per cent is relayed that way in Japanese. They learn that the subtleties of a cui· ture can extend to such simple things as getting up from a chair.

She is assisted in teaching by Buffalo· born Patrick Santillo, a grad uate st udent in the economics depart ment at UB. He took Japanese at Georgetown University, traveled to Japan twice, and has degrees from the Asian Studies Program at American University, Michii said. .. American teache rs of Japanese are always scarce," she said. "You can get native speakers, but they're not trai ned to teach.'' Michii feels fortunate to have found Santillo. ·· He's·a superb teacher and the students like him," she said. "They like an American who has been through the same agony learning the language ... Santillo aJso teaches in Michii's Japanese language program at North Tonawanda High School, now in its sixth or seventh year, she said. ern cultures tend to keep the body and head in a straight line and rise more vertically than Westerners do, she said.

An American st udent wh o is taking Spanish, French, or German can transfer some of his or her English ideas to that language and even guess at the meanings of so me words. " But Japanese is totall y different," she said. "The lang uage uses Chinese characters. You need 2,000 to read a newspaper, $5,000 a year for four years for the pro· plus 50 phonetic signs ... JO:.=B:..::S;___ __ paper o n t he topic of t hei r choice. In additi on , each sign has a meaning which st udents are expected to learn. ichii said she made it clear to parents not to expect the kind of proficiency that comes wi th studyi ng other languages. "Japanese is painstaking." she said . .. It takes maybe four times as long to learn." Michii sees the high school program as a chance to wo rk with students when their yo un g minds are flexible and willing to examine another culture and way of thinking. " We want to ex pand the horizo n of consciousness - to have them see things another way," she said. " It 's like an Alice in Wonderland ex perience. You start from nothing. It's a total re-creation of self. " M The students learn lhrough films, gram . Right now the program is being funded by a grant that was originally secured by BOCES (The Board o f Cooperative Educat ional Services). BOCES turned the project over to the Williamsville School District when it became too much to adm inister on such a wide scale, Michii said. Michii commends the Williamsville School District for its part in the Japanese program . The PTA, faculty, and pare nts have all bee n very supportive, she said. "It"s a good advertiseme nt of the schoo l system itself, "'she added . "' It sacri- ficed a lot of things for the program." For instance. the district provides a bus so j ust two of the students can get from one high school over to Williamsvill e orth Higll School where the classes are held. And the school had to rework ti metables so student s co uld fit the class into their schedules. "It's a big commitment on the part of the school system, " she sai d . ··so I feel a heavy burden o n my shoulders."" In addition to helping them learn about Jaanese language and culture, Michii has other goals for her high school students. She would l ike t o make their speakers, and workshops in art, politics, eco no mics and labor st ructure. At the end of the year, they must submit a short education a positive, rewarding experie nce, rather than a discouraging one.

The title of the book renects Davis' tend to follow my dreams to the sweet or bitter end, "said James P. Davis, graduate of UB Law School and author of two oooks desire to reach rginortiy and disadvantaged stu9ents with his message. intended to help others realize the .dream of becoming a lawyer. How to Make it Through Law School: A Guide for Minority and Disadvantaged Students was published in 1982; How 10 Pass 1he Bar Exam is expected to be in print within the next three months. Davis, a native of South Carolina, has a B.A. in French literature from South Carolina State College and a master's in French from the University of Illinois. " I found out about UB's Law School when I came to Buffalo to visit my sister. I was able to find an evening joQ which made it possible for me to go to school in the daytime, and still work full-time," Davis explained. The ability to work full-tqne while attending school was critical fu Davis who has a wife and six children. Davis describes the-law school here as a positive and challenging experience. "Law school is made up of the creme de Ia creme; everyone is bright and the competition is keen from the very fir>t day," he said. · Davis found law school to be quite different from undergraduate study; it requires higher quality work and a greater commitment. "You need to be competent when you come out," Davis said. " You'll be handling the affairs of the people in society." The pressures on the law student are enormous, but Davis did find that help was available . .. Like most law schools UB puts you on yo ur own, but it is unique in the respect that it does give some help through the first year - professors are readily available and some of them will have 'brown bag meetings' where you eat your lunch and discuss law," Davis said. In general, Davis noted that UB professor> were very hel~ful and ded icated to their role in disciplinmg the lawyers of the future. "They want you to deve lop a love for the law and they want you above all to be competent," he said. Desptte the fact that as he puts it, a "disproportionate number of minority law students fail or. drop out," Davis completed UB's law program in 1981. "Law school gave me a tool that some people call a loaded cannon, but I've promised myself, my family, and my God that I will only use it for the benefit of o thers and not for detrimen t or gain," Davis said. intended to motivate the reader; to get the student to analyze his / her reason for being in law school and to make a commitment. The student is told "once you have made the decision, no matter how many slings and arrows try to break yo ur spirit, nothing will ever hurt you. " "Rarely do you have books and especially 'how to' manuals written by minorities for minorities," Davis explained. "The book was designed to fill that gap and. at the same time to show o ther minorities that it is possible to realize your dreams . .. _ It's possible to succeed in law school. .. . This book is designed to be their companion along the way." Davis defines a ..disadvantaged student" as one who lacks educational and social advan tages. This is the stud ent who has little or no.experience with a .. melting pot" atmosphere before coming to law school. "The realistic and practical point is that the disadvantagement has to end if you're going to be a competent lawyer in this kind of society," Davis said.

The book also advises against the indiscriminate · use of "horn books," manuals which are designed to help the student analyze statutes, cases, and legal opini ons. .. Once you become dependent on them it weakens your ability to anal~ze ; use them as an aid ,_ not a crutch , Davis counsels. ) Davis' work is dedicated to Professors Jacob Hyman, J oseph Laufer, Nils Olsen and Virginia Leary. He describes all these individuals as helpful and encouraging during his progression through law school. The book is published by Conch Magazi ne , Limited, and is available through the publisher or at the University Bookstore. The role of writer is o nly an avocation for Davis who has worked for the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) for II years. He currently serves as assistant director for career planning and placement. EOC is a non-degl"!e-, non-credit~ granting institution administered by UB. An average of 900 students arc served each semester. "The EOC was established in 1973 to provide vocational. technica l training and college prep courses for the educationally and financially disadvantaged," Davis explained. Davis practices law on a part-time basis. He specializes in night court - traf~ fie cases. misdemeanors - and limited family coun cases. Davis has accomplished the goals he set ror himself and is proud eno ugh of that fact to want to share his experience with the world. "If! can be successful with my kind of background and family responsibilities and I let others know this, hopefully it will encourage and motivate them to c~n~ tinue to strive, hope, pray . and work," Davis said .

"Ai f>S ," or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a disorder in which the body's natural immune system is damaged, red ucing its abi lity to fight off infect ions and disease. It is a frightening ill ness, leaving most AI DS patients dead within two years of diagnosis. '' As far as we can tell, AIDS first appeared in 1979," explained Hewitt. "Smce then, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of new cases - there were 4.000 new cases in 1984 alone." Hewi tt noted that there are several groups of peoJ!le who have demonstrated high risk of 'Con tracting the disease. "There are a few s~ ll grQiij>s - Haitian patients make up fi per cent of AIDS vict ims. hemophiliacs ake up o nl y one per cent ..while admitted users of intravenous drugs make up 15 to 20 per cent. The largest high-risk group is homosex· ual or bisexual men, who m~ke up 73 per cent of all AIDS victims." Hewitt warned , however, against viewing t he ill ness as purely a disease of homosexuals, isolated only in large cit ies with large gay populations such as New York , San Francisco or Miami . "AIDS is not merely a problem in these cities, it is a problem in the country, "' he warned. " It is here - it is part of Western New York. In the course of two or three yea rs, 17 cases have been diagnosed right here in Buf· falo. When A IDS cases fi rst started being reported i"n New Yo rk State in 1982, there we re 53 new cases per month . This baS rise n to 120 new cases in 1985. New York State has the highest number of AIDS cases in the country." While there is definite cause for alarm in the increased frequency and in the severity of the disease, there is no evidence that AIDS can be contracted through casual contact with an A IDS sufferer. All current medical information indicates that the syndrome is spread from pe rson an 'epidemic' in every sense to person through intimate sexual contact or through the use of shared needles forth ; injection of drugs. AI DS can not be spread through hands hakes, doorknobs, dishes, toilet seats, or showers. "There has been a lot of paranoia which really contributed to the isolation of the AIDS patient ," Hewitt pointed out. " It used to be, There's an AIDS patient here - time for the space suit s or whateve r.' AIDS is a n intimately spread disease- it simply cannot be spread just through casual contact. •• "But it can't be spread just through casual kinds of contact." he transmission of AIDS through blood transfusions has also been a subject of worry. Persons who need blood transfusions , howeve r. should not be unduly concerned about AIDS, Hewitt noted. The New York State Co uncil on Hum an Blood and Transfusion Services reviewed all of the availabl e facts and concluded th at there is no significant risk of contracting AIDS from blood transfusions. Hemophiliacs, though, have a special cause for concern. To get the clotting facto r they need , their transfusions are ob tained from several th ousand donors. thu s raising their chances of co ntracting AIDS. Alth ough only a few AIDS cases among hemophiliacs have been reported. scientists are working on a way to synthesize the clotting factor so as to totally eliminate this risk. Although numerous medical schools and research instjtmes in the United States a nd othe r countries have been carrying o ut studies ai med at conq uering AIDS, the cause is still not known. "It is suspected th at a virus is probably th e cause." explained Hewitt. "Viruses have T support system that they so badly need. There is also a tremendous drop in selfesteem. Many homosexual victims of the disease find themselves terminally ill and feel that God is punishing them because they're gay." In the absence of the su pport network of fami ly a nd friends, many AIDS sufferers have to look elsewhere for help. The New York State Department of Health has recently fund ed a program to help patients with the ill ness. The Western ew York A IDS Program is an all· vol unt eer grou p dedicated. not only to providing ed ucation about the syndrome. but a lso to helping AIDS victims and their families a nd friend s deal with th e disease. "The AIDS program offers not only supportive services for persons with A IDS but also su pport groups for what we call the 'wo rried well' - people in the high-risk groups who are concerned about gelling th e disease," He wi ll explained. " For AIDS patients them· selves, the program provides medical refe rrals and legal services and helps patients deal with the many fina ncial stresses of the illness. The Program a lso provides volun teer companions to help patients at home or to visit them in th e hospi tal. T here is a lso co unselling fo r pat ients with th e illness. "A lot of people with A IDS return to religion ," says Hewitt. "The program has professio nals from vario us fai th s to he lp. as well as regular co unselors. Finally." he concluded, ''the AIDS Program follows t hrough and hel ps fami lies make funeral arrangement s and deal with other post-monem arrangements when the perso n dies." hilc these same problems are faced by most terminally ill patients, lr is indeed srark ro hea r the all-coo Hewitt emphasized that AIDS sufferers face definite prognosis im plici t in this final unique set of problems in addition. service offered by the program .

Many patients are left wi th out th e 0 been known all along to affect the immune system ... As for a cure, researchers are working. among other things, on a method of immunological reconstitution - a way of building up the immune system in patients in whom it has been destroyed. At the present time, however, there is no known treatment that can restart the body's immune system to normal once it has been dam aged by AIDS . Beca use the AIDS patient's bod y is unable to fight off infection . perso ns with the syndrome may devel o p rare form s of ca ncer, pneumon ia, or other serious infec tions which ge nerally d on't affect healthy adults. Hewitt described the problems encountered in trea ting th ese infections. "While we try to treat each infection as it co mes. th e basic problem is that the ~nderlying th ing is still there. Treating diseases usua ll y dem and s an in tact immune sys tem - medici ne works hand in hand wi th th is system. When only one is working. treatment may not be effective." Hewitt pointed out that in addition to the devastating physical effects of the syndrome, AI DS also brings with it a tremendous psyc hological burden. "Psychologically. this is probably the most devastating illness around," he co mmented . ''There is a very real alteration in the quality of life. The patien t may be at th e h ight of hi s career and suddenl y becom termi nall y ill. There is a feeling of absolu te loss of control. With the drastic ~ change often come neurological problems.

Leder, who holds a joint appointment in American and Wome n's Studies. contends th at women are too often portrayed in limited and fragme nt ed ways as the sex object - portraYa ls which ultimately cause harm to the female, the male. and th e male-female relat ionshi p. "When yo u co nsider the ubiquitousness of the media , negati ve images of women arc everywhere.·· she laments .. What makes a bad ituation worse. Leder advises, is that few alternative images exi t that de pitt women a in telligent and thoughtful human beings.

The rub, says Leder, is that thi s type of subtle manipulation .. sets women up to be perpetually unfulfilled ," and allows men to perceive a woman as ··othe r." or an object. What Leder does in her course is to underscore the distinct difference bet~een the image Woman a.s seen in o! advertisements and in th e media and th e realit y of womanhood. She docs this so her st uden ts will never fall prey to th ose who unwittingly. or for profit. confuse the two. s far as Leder is concerned. the depiction of women as sex or fantasy objects is never a positive image a nd has no redeeming social val ue.

"Vanessa Williams was a victim, too- don't condemn her." s fa r as the. Vanessa Williams debacle , Leder is ca uti ous to not co ndem n a woman she perceives as "a victim." " I think it's im portant not to blame the victim because ictims often have the least avai.Jable access to change a situation.·· she relays.

Yet, as confounding and emotionevoki ng as the whole subject seems. it can be explai ned and cou ld have been avoided. believes UB Historian William Sheridan Allen, who uncovered azi correspondence previously thought destroyed, prompting him to write The Nazi Seizure of Power: T1ie Experience of a Single German Town. 1922-1945. The book is an update of one he wrote in 1965 which was translated into almost a dozen languages and remains the most widely assigned book in undergraduate modern German his1ory courses in 1he country. Though the basic tenets of his first volume remain unchanged. Allen says the eight large baskets of Nazj correspondence he unexpectedly found in 1979 have alfowed him both to ex pand the chronological scope of his study by 18 years and to get more detailed information about the inner workings and psyche of the Nazi Party in ' ortheim, a central German town of 10,000 that serves as the focus of his two books. The material. never catalogued or seen by other researchers. also contained about I ,000 forms which evaluated the political reliability of individuals in the town. Ironically, Allen says. the bundles bo re a note from a Hanover archivist who wrote , .. not very interesting." Nonheim. he advises, is typical of small communities in Germany in terms of how it helped finance the Nazi Party and how its local party leaders used propaganda and conlrol techn iques on its citizenry. A microscopic inspection of the municipality can thus help one to understand the larger picture of th e azi ri se to power, Allen suggests. Many theories, of varying degrees of abstraction, have tried to explain the why and how of azism, Allen related , but none has proved adequate. For instance, one popular theory submits that the depression created financial havoc in the German middle class, causing it to be more ieceptive to the Nazi Party. Through scrutinizing bank. statements and other fiscal records ·or Northeim, Allen found this was not the case. By contrast, he discovered the middle class was not all that negatively affected by the depressio n. .. It was the working class that was really hurt, but the middle class went Nazi, •• he points out. Another theory advances the n('tion that totalitarianism is encourageo when intermediate organizations, such as unions and fraternal groups, become weak . But Allen found the opposite to be true in. Nonheim. There, these groups were quite healthy umil Hitler took power. Once he did. however, they were either terminated or brought under Nazi control. ""And this goes right down to the local .. bowli!lgclub and ladies sewi ng circle, ., he observed. Their demise was a conseque nce rather than a cause of Nazism. Still another major theory posits that the German people had a psychological predisposition to Nazism. after hav.in~ suffered through traumat ic experiences related to World War I. Supposedly, this "submerged trauma .. was "reactivated" when the depression hit , making the populace easy prey for the Nazis. gain Allen demurs: "It sounds good. It sou nd s as if it should have happened. but it didn)."" When a trauma of such magnitude does occur, Allen noteQ . all segments of a society should presumably feel its effects. Yet this was not what happened in Nonheim. His investigation showed to the contrary - th at the acceptance or rejection of Nazism occurred along class and religious lin es. ''Only one-eleventh of the working class voted for Nazi leaders during free electi o ns held before Hitler took power. and Catholics consistently and overwhelmi ngl y rejected them."" he sa id . Perhaps the most significant of his findings co ncerns the way in which the Nazi propaganda effort was linked to the party's financial effort - both under control of local Nazi leaders. Despite po pular belief. the Naz.i machinery got its financial grease •·from the botto m up.'' Allen submits. "It was the little people at the bottom in town s like Northeim who built th e Third Reich . Hitl er was more or less a minor factor. He provided a national framework and the general political line. but the day-to-day running of the Party was done at the local level." he explains. "Appro ximately two-third s of all the votes cast in German free elections came from towns with a population of 25.000 or Jess," he adds. "This is where the Nazis got their \jOlts and where they got staned .'' Before Hitler assumed power in 1933, A HITLER? Allen discovered, local Nazi parties raised funds primarily by sponsori ng meetings that featured music, so ng, and patriotic decor. along with a Nazi speaker. The programs, which served as entertainment and quasi-religious experiences , were initially greeted with enthusiasm by ortheimers, who payed an admission fee and then doled ou t more money for a collec tio n taken after the guest speaker was fini shed. Since people's contributions renected their opinions of the speaker, Allen said , local Nazi leaders made certain the audience heard only ·w hat pleased them. Interestingly, Northeimers were ~ot receptive to anti-semitic oratio n so pany heads there rarely scheduled any. What the Nazis said in one town, then , could be radically different from what they said in another. The only commonality in these speeches was that they were against the current government and called for a change in the status quo. Here were all the mechanics of a good propaganda system , Allen observes: a utomatic feedback . local nexibility, and local initiati ve. ut as effective and efficient as the B propaganda was. the seeds of Nazism would never have taken root had there no t bee n _fertile ground. Allen notes. ationalism was high in Germany and. as far as some people were concerned, ••they were still fighting World War I. •· Then. too. there was an extreme class division. The middle class harbored g reat animosity toward the worR.ing class whose acceptance of socialistic principles evoked fear and hostility in those who were better off. Ironically. by the time Hitler was made chancellor. the propaganda system which had worked so well fort he azis up until then showed serious signs of disintegration. Local party officials who knew how to engender enthusiasm in the citizenry were replaced by Nazi bureaucrats who su pposedly had more financial savvy, but less understanding of the public psyche. Then. as part of an effon to bring consistency to the party line, propaganda began to be generated from Nazi headquaners in Berlin. Attendance at meetings became mandatory. and N~ block wardens. responsible for 40 families each. quickly reprimanded o r brought sanctions agai nst those who preferred to stay home. "Ultimately. th e Nazis had to give o ut con tro l tickets which the block warden monitored ," Allen related. "The consequence was that the meetings became like high school assemblies. People hated to go." Allen's thesis that the propaganda system crumbled when the Nazi gained full power is substantiated by records he found that detail the efforts of local party head s to stem the increasing apathy of Northeimers toward s the Third Reich . Eventually. to generate money, the Nazis turned most of their meetings into ... pure entertain ment," offering beer, films, and other amusements. But none of this was enough to keep the Nazi party solvent. By th e time Hit ler assumed power it was bankrupt. In Allen's research he discovered correspondence from o ne azi leader to another which und erscored the seriousness of their financial predicament. It read : ""They have taken ou t my phone. I can"t pay any of the bills. and I've spent my last change for postage due on a letter from you." With amusement, Allen reported he found the letter to which th e Nazi official had referred . It was a bill. li en insists that if the Weim ar Republic had squarely dealt with the problems caused by class division, nationalism, and the depression - the latter not hurting the middl e class as much as "scaring the hell out of th em" the Nazis never would have gained such a stranglehold on the cou nt ry. "The only prevention for such a movement. even a modern-day Nazi-like moveme nt , is for people to be on top of domestic problems and maintain a system of social justice before inju stices can be exploi ted ," he advises. Moreover, Allen maintains that if a coalition had evolved that "stood firm on a platform of decency," the Third Reich wollld have met its demise much soo ner. '" Hitler got into power by playing one group against another," he explains. " It may so uo9 banal, but there is enormous protection when a bottom line consensus can be reached about what is intolerable, and when those who cross that line are exposed."' This was Joe McCanhy·s nemesis, he submits. When the McCarthy trials were A ~~~~i~~~~e;~~~~ese1~;oh~~~~~~:~ ~:: lated basic codes of human decency. Unfortunately. the Germans had no mass media as we know it today, and the Weimar Republic had no newspape·rs people considered jrustworthy. Consequently, the Nazis failed to receive the exposu re and public condemrlation necessary to prevent them from committing their many si ns against humanity.

Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community.

By CON IE OSWALD STOFKO o pre-audit or not to pre-audit? That seemed to be the main question at Friday's public hearing on the proposal to change SUNY from a state agency to a public benefit corporation. The hearing, which lasted five and onehalf hours, was held at Buffalo Sta)e College. It was conducted by Mark Alan Siegel, chairman of the State Assembly Higher Education Committee, and Kenneth P. LaValle, chairman of the State Senate Higher Education Committee. The hearing discussed recommendations of the report of the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University, among other reports. Campus presidents assailed the idea of pre-audit, but State Comptroller Edward V. Regan indicated that they might be using the term pre-audit in a "generic~ way. The pre-audit Regan talked about is " part and parcel of check writing," he said. It's a purely technical kind qfreview where two questions are asked: does the law say the purchase can be made and is there money in the bank to cove r it? Pre-a udit "is not a problem in the way co of autonomy." Regan asserted . .Lit 's not a problem that's been cited by SUNY officials." SUNY actually relies on the comptroller's sophisticated pre-audit process with its speedy -computers. he said. Between April I and Dec. 31. 1984. S U Y sent in 73.186 vouchers under $100 that it could have processed on the ca mpus level. .. Our processes have apparently bee n so speedy and efficient that SUNY has not taken full advantage of the nexibility it now.has," Regan said. "When the bill popped up on my desk saying they want more, I was surprised .., The function of pre-audit protects the taxpayers and has to be done someplace, Regan said. And while he supports the idea of more autonomy for SUf\IY. more nexibility might mean there should be a T e nrik N. Dullea, director of state operations and policy managemenl on the staff of Gov. Mario Cuomo. stated that SUNY , and CU Y as well, already have far more flexibilily than other state agencies. "The concept that SUNY is treated by executive agencies in a manner that is indistinguishable from the regulations imposed on other departments of the state - for example, the Department of Motor Vehicles - is quite clearly not the case," Dullea contended. The University is free to hire faculty; set their salaries; and determine the mix of instructors, assistant professors and professors, all without approval by ei ther the Department of Budget (DOB) or the Department of Civil Service, he said. Lump sum appropriations are given now to the Board of Trustees for items such as student computer equipment and enhancement of engineering faculty. A lump sum is also given to the Trustees to a ppropriate for activities such as eve nin g division classes, summer sessions and contract co urses with private industry, he said . Both SUNY and CUNY can generate private support through campuS foundatio ns and usc of those funds is at the discretion of each campus. Pointing to what he called an ··unprecedented level of independence," Dullea noted that campuses can make purchases for under S 10~000. or cont ract for printing services under $2,500, without usin&the competitive bidding process required of oth..er agegcies. Prior review by the DOB orthe Office of General Services (OGS) is also not required in these cases. The governor endorses the goals of the Independen t Commission report. but he may not agree with the specific means to achieve those goals, Dullea said.

Foremost among these issues are the central findings and recommendations of the report. The Commission found that "SUNY is the most over-regulated university in the nation" and that our State Umversity does not rank among the very best public universities, especially in the area of research and graduate education. What is perhaps most significant is that the Commission believes there is a strong linkage between these two fmdings. In other words, the Commission believes that SUNY will never rank among the very best-public university systems unless and until the problem of over-regulation is addressed . The fmding that SUNY is overregulated does not represent any rush to judgment by the Commission. A similar statement was made a quarter of a cen- tury ago by The Heald Commission in a report which was the forerunner of SUNY's expansion as a public university system. The present Commission report cites numerous examples of over- regulation. ranging from the purely rudimentary to the absolutely ridiculous. Indeed, campus presidents throughout the system could regale these hearings for hours with their favorite anecdotes. However, discussions of over- regulation in the past have been very much like the old saw about the weather: "Everyone talks about it, but nobQdy does anything about it." The Independent Commission did not fall into this trap. Its members examined the condition, found t!Je effeets devastating for SUNY '!"d New York State, and recommended a very direct and relatively simple solution. Ironically, the Commission's recommendation would accomp- lish many of the goals that the present system of over-regulation is intended to accomplish, but fails to achieve. According to the CommissioJl, the key element in the solution is to restructure SUNY by statute as a public corporation. What would this accomplish? It would recognize that SUNY differs fundamentally from other State agencies, that the institutions which compose our system of public higher education have different missions, that higher education has different traditions of governance, and that the tasks of our State University can be carried out at the highest levels of quality only in a structure which provides a great deal of flexibility. The le~slation establishing the public corporatiOn would have to redefine some of the relationships and procedures wbich now exist between SUNY and State government agencies. Such cltanges might possibly create. concerns and even apprehensions among some of those agencies. However, the proposed bill that was drafted by Chancellor Wharton and his staff, and endorsed this week by the SUNY Board of Trustees, retains all of the constructive elements of the present structure. For instance, the proposed legislation ensures the continumg role of the Executive and Legislative branches in establishing SUNY's budget and setting educational goals. It keeps the system open to post-audit and retains the current collective bargaining procedures. Moreover, the legislation would continue to respect the authority held by the Board of Regents to establish educational policies and standards. he Chancellor and the Trustees did propose major changes, though, that would remove obstacles to SUNY's ability to compete educationally with the leading public univenities in this nation, and that would permit SUNY to fulftll T the important role it should have in the economic development of New York State. The draft bill proposes expanded authority for the Board of Trustees in fiscal and personnel matters, consolidating budgeting, and freedom from preaudit requirements . . . . - The Commission noted that "state government does not seem to trust SUNY's board of trustees, chancellor, or campus presidents with even the most elementary administrative decisions concerning the institutions they have been asked to manage." The Commission also drew upon a report submitted last fall by a national Study Group on the Condttions of Excellence in American Higher Education. This report points out that "it is a le~timate responsibility of states to audit mstitutiooal practices, to demand evidence of their effectiveness, and to correct abuses. It is quite another matter," the re~ort states, "for them to operate the insutution from a distance oD'Ihe assumption that faculty and administrators are either 'tttompetent or corrupt.'" No one is to blame for the present system of over-regulation of the State University of New York. It did not occur as the result of some diabolical schemes. We simply are laboring under the cumulative weight of years of regulation imposed by statute. The Chancellor and the Trustees have proposed removing the most onerous part of that weight and dispelling the sense of distrust that it has engendered. Their proposals would markedly reduce the cynicism that is bred when campus faculty and staff must devote excessive amounts of time and energy in seeking to cope with an oppressive bureaucratic system. On a different plane the Chancellor's and the Trustees' recommended legisla- would continue to be responsible for determining SUNY's annual appropriation, based · on a detailed analySts of SUNY's past expenditures and future budget requests. Second,the stewardship exhibited by the Trustees in the expenditure of these appropriated funds would continue to be judged rijlorously and publicly through post-audtts conducted by the State Comptroller's Office. The less obvious but more effective method for ensuring· accountability under the proposed legislation derives from the fact that, for the first time, both the authority and the responsibility for various decisions would be established at clearly-defined levels within the University. This would create true accountability, in contrast to the present system in which it is often difficult or impossible to pinpoint within the bureaucratic maze the person or persons actually responsible for a given decision. A SUNY that operates with greater efficiency and increased accou ntability will be able to respond much more effectively to the educational goals established by the Executive and Legislative branches and the State Board of Regents. One such goal has been that the State University should utilize its vast resources to play a major role in the economic development of New York State. One implication of this goal, as the Independent Commission has pointed out, is that greater emphasis will have to be ~laced on research and graduate educatton in the years immediately ahead. Both this goal and its corresponding implication have immense importance to the University at Buffalo and the Western New York community. UB is the most academically compre- tion would ensure that the appropriate hensive campus within the system, espe- goals of gov~rnmental regulation would be actually achteved. Those goals as 1see them are: efficiency; accountability; and cially at the graduate and professional levels. The full-time and afftltated faculty of this campus generate over S55 million per year in funding for organized research and sponsored programs, the largest amount attributable to any SUNY institution. We have more graduate, professional, and post-doctoral pro(!fams and students than any other unit m the system. In addition, we have the largest number of undergraduates of any SUNY campus. AU of these students benefit directly from the experience of working with eminent scholars in classrooms, laboratories, and seminars. ' UB also ha_ppens to be located in the most economtcally depressed area of the State. We are currently very involved in assisting in the economic revitalization of WesternNewYorlr.. Wehavemade major institutional commitments to a number of new entities such as the Western New York Technology Development Center, and the Healthcare Instrumentation and Deyices Institute. We are now planning an mdependent research that will provide incubator space adjacent to the campus for fledgling enterprises. -rytes_e initiatives.represent only a small begtnntng, one that has been achieved with considerable difficulty in the present regulatory climate. Those of us who are familiar with the leading university systems in the nation realize SUNY's potential for becorrung a truly major factor in economic development in this State. We also kno~ that achieving this potential Will requ1re the presence of university centers that excel in research alld graduate education. The Chancellor's and the Trustees' proposalS, especially those dcalmg wtth budget execution, purchasing and contracts, personnel, and selfgenerated revenues, would greatly facilitate the development of such centers to _ much higher levels of quality. 1o 1 understand, just as you do, that the emphasts g~vcn by the Commission to research and graduate education may true value received for the tax monies invested in public higher education. 1 know of no one who would argue that the present system is efficient. The time that frequently elapses between a campus decision and approval of that decision by another State agency or agencies can often render the initial decision meaningless. In such instances operational procedures can dictate policy, which represents a gross distortton of regulatory intent. This distortion is not at all uncommon in the present system; indeed, one can argue that is it required by statute in the existing structure because the statutes legally assign control and approval functions to inyriad bureaucratic agencies external to the University. The people in these agencies are not evil or Incompetent - they arc simply doing their jobs. They are being bureaucratically efficient in an inherently inefficient system. A much more efficient process is one that provides sufficient flexibility to ensure that decisions are made at the lowest practical level by accountable P.,rsons who have the appropriate expertise to make them. It is the intent of the Chancellor's and Trustees'proposed legislation to establish just such a decision-making process wuhin SUNY. !though all of us believe strongly that state universities require a great deal of management flexibiltty, none of us would advocate exempting the University from the demands of strict accountability. Indeed, the Chancellor's and the Trustees' proposals would cr~ate a degree of accountability withirl SUNY that would be much greater thav now exists. The proposed legislation provides two obvious means by which this strict accountability would be achieved. First, the Execu!ive and Legislative branches A generate anxiety among some legislators and their constituent institutions. Frankly, 1 do not believe there is ·any cause for alarm. The Trustees and the Chancellor are responsible for nurturing and maintaining quality throughout the system. This can only be achieved throullh an equitable system of funding, tn whtch the resources allocated to each campus are commensurate with that campus' individual mission. Then too the Chancellor has stated publicly and repeatedly that no campus would have its resources reduced from the current lev~ in order to supplement programs at other institutions. his week the Governor announced a T program that would increase SUNY's management responsibility and flexibility along the' lines recommended by the Independent Commission. This announcement represents a continuing interest and willingness on the Governor's part to create a strong State University. However, to my knowledge the actual legislation that would implement h,is proposals has not yet been released, and thus 1 would not be in a position at this time to comment on the Gover-nor's proposals. Nevertheless, in the context of an atmosphere that is conducive to change, and in which competing proposals may be advanced , I would like to indicate my agreement with a point made at an earlier hearing by my counterpart and colleague at Stony Brook, President John Marburger. He noted that "making SUNY a public corporation is the weakest step that can be taken to ensure the necessary' independence of action." Indeed, I can testify from first-hand experience that the legislation proposed by the Chancellor and the-Trustees would give SUNY much less flexibility than is currently enjoyed by leading public universities in other states. · The strongest and boldest step, of course, would be to enact a constitutional amendment establishing SUNY as a separate branch of government. This is the approach that has been followed in 1 many other states. As you know, the Independent Commisston considered this alternative, but concluded that the public corporation was the most expeditious and practicable route to follow in New York State. However, the key point is that the Commission completely rejected any incremental or piecemeal approach to (!fanting SUNY the managementllexibiltty it needs. The Commission recognized that SUNY 's legal status must be changed 10 a fund~mental way if it is to be able to compete effectively with other public systems and respond to the needs of the people of this State. 1 believe there is a great deal of good will in the Legislature and the Executive Office toward the State University of New York. 1 am convinced that you and your colleagues share our desire to create a system of public higher education that stands among the very best in the nation. We already have built the foundation of such a system. Indeed, the Legislature can take great and justifiable pride in all that it has done over the years to help build that foundation. Now we ask that you make it possible for SUNY to take full advantage of the investment that has been made by the people of New York in their State University. By your actions, and Wtth your help, we can be given the t?ols to complete a great public univerSity system. 1 therefore urge you to tmplement as quickly as possible the fundamental recommendatton of the Independent Commission by adopting the legIS!atton recommended by the Trustees and the Chancellor. 0 Tl1c Independent c :o1n1nission Hcport on Sl ':"\1's Future 1 �M~n:ti7, 1985 13 Volume 16 No. 21 (At left) ""' '-rltlflroom at Bult81o Prealdent Stille.

Hearings From page 1 bills the governor is submitting to the legislature includes an amendment that will permit unlimited interchange of funds within a campus. Approval will be submitted by SUNY (or CUNY) directly to the comptroller. This will, in effect, give each campus a lump sum it is free to manage, Dullea said. The DOB will retain the a bility to establish system-wide expendi ture and personnel ceilings. but the detailed Implementation of those ceilings will be vested in the board of trustees. he said. Dullea listed several other features of the governor's program for SUNY and CUN Y: • University employees, as appointees of the board s of trustees, may be reassigned on campus at the discretion ofthe trustees, subject to collect ive bargaining agreements. • The purchasing flexibility program would be established in permanent law with a three-year sunset provision. • Petty cash purchase authorizations would be increased from $100 to $250. • Development funds generated by the universities through their fo und ations and endowments may be spent without pre-audit and appropriation, subject only to submissio n of periodic reports and annual audits of such activities. • The trustees would be authorized to set the salaries of the chancellor, aU college preside nts and senior central offi<7 managers to make the systems competl- tive in recruiting and retaining talent. The boards of trustees would annually report to the legislatu re and the governor the salaries set -for these positions and the factors employed in their determination. • Presidential housing policy would be turned over to the boards of trustees along with ownership of the properties, where applicable, and rent setting powers. A state subsidy '(o r housing allow- · ance) would be provided to both un iversities to be distributed by the trustees. All state support for the ope rations, maintenance or debt service of such housing would flow from these funds. • The boards of trustees or their designees would be au th orized in law to set salary levels for faculty members within the limits established under the collective bargajning process. • The transfer of funds between campuses would be allowed. "There may be considerable merit in the public benefit corporation approach, but the governor believes that this is a fa r-reaching concept which should be given careful scrutiny prior to adoption," Dullea reported . fter delivering his prepared statement (see full text elsewhere on these A pages), UB President Steven Sample responded to questioning, and the issue of pre-audit came up again. .. The true locus of authority is now external to the board of trustees, in myriad agencies," Sample said, citing DOB and OGS. "Whatever authority the board of trustees exercises, it probably exercises at lhe day-to-<lay pleasure of these agencies." When asked for an example of J>roblems ca used by pre-audit, Sample brought up the ban on o ut-of-state travel imposed by the DOB several years ago. After that, the only thing that was clear on the issue was th at the term .. pre-audit" is fuzzy. Siegel complained that every example of prior approval thar has occurred is being lumped together under the banner of pre-audit. '' Prior co ntrol is not pre-audit," Siegel said. "We have ye t to he ar cases where pre-audit, not DOB or OGS . was the central cause," he said, adding that that kind of evidence is what is needed to make a case for a structural chan ge in SU Y. "To check and sec if there's money in the bank - nobody questions that," Sample replied. "But as soon as it expands beyond that, it moves to a question of judgement very, very rapidly." It opens the door to interminable delays, as has happened in the past, he added. Siegel pointed o"ut t hat Regan gave three examples where money would have been lost without the comptroller's preaudit (the examples saved $400,000, $30,000 and S 15,000, according to a prepared typescript of Regan's testimony. Since he hadn' seen the examples, he could n' prepare a rebutt al, Sample said. Assemblyman Joseph T . Pillittere of Niagara Falls came to Sample's defense . Pillittere said he disagreed with Regan "s examples because none of them. were cases where somebody wanted to spend money that was n' there - the purp os~ of pre-audi t. Instead , they were errors in JUdgement. · Later, whe n giving examples of how more autonomy would help UB, Sample cited a pnntingjob where the cost of staff time spent trying to satisfy myriad req uirements was greater th an the act ual cost of the job. " I suspect there are thousands of examples where staff time is lost ," Sample said. "The net Joss far exceeds the occasional savings of '8 multi-level bureaucracy." eca use of th e con troversy that was build ing over the issue of pre-audit. B Buffalo State College President Bruce Johnstone decided to forego his prepared remarks in an attempt to clear up the issue. The problem lies not wi th audi t and control, but wi th DOB and OGS, and occasionally, Civil Service, Johnstone said . ••The horror stories are real and the memories arc fresh." he stated .

This volume chronicles the growing constitut ional movement which led to the constitutio nal convention in Philadelph ia. and closes with the birth of 1he Consti tuti on and the election of George Washington. - - LaValle, Siegel urge harm· ny in higher ed By ANN WHITCHER rivate and public sectors of higher education must present a united front in their legislative proposals, Kenneth P. LaValle, Republican chairman of the State Senate's Standing Committee on Higher Education. an·d Mark Alan Siegel, his Democratic counterpart in the Assembly, said Friday. The two were speaking to a meeting of area higher education officials, public and private, sponsored by the UB Faculty of Educatio nal Studies and held at D1'ouville College. Until recently, said Siegel. the two higher education camps were almost always engaged in unseemly, even ugly, battle. " It was a personally unpleasant experience for both me and Sen. LaValle <o have to deal with people who had such twisting anger inside them that they expressed such hostility, derision and anger toward each other .. . . Everyone was trying to poison everyon .. else's well .... It really made higher education a subject to which we in Albany were almost unwilling to tum our attention." The two agreed that a mere cooperative approach has resulted in such recent successes as last spring's enactment of a loan program developed under the auspices of the state"s Dormitory Auth ority. In that effort, said Siegel, "we had fort he first time in many years a collaborative effort able to take into account all the (schools') needs, and able to serve the fina nciai needs of all the students." LaValle argued that across-the-board suppon for various financial aid programs, from both sectors of higher ed, "will always be received enthusiastically" among higher education's adherents in the Assembly and Senate. Added LaValle: "If we deal successfully in Albany with your fiscal concerns, (sending) more monies into your institutioos, hopefully you won"t be as uptight in dealing with one another.... Siegel argued: "The question should not be which school in someone else's sector should be for<:ell to close. . . . Instead, we need to have a collective plan to maintain not just the physical infrastructure, but the academic and inteUectual infrastructure as well. lfwe fail to do that, we will be asked to re~laceeach and every One of the educatiOnal supfort facihties at 2001 prices" as the tum o the century approaches. The Manhattan assemblyman added: "And that would most certamly break the back of the State of New York, even with P the tremendous wealth we have. What I look forward to in the relationship among the sectors of higher education, is a common understand ing that we have to work together to support each other to make su re that we are in a position to meet th e challenges that are just on the horizon." . LaValle said more effo rts are needed .. to rnake higher education a priority in the budget process." He implied that legislatorS as a whole need to have their consciousness raised on this subject. .. Let me give you an example. Last year, we increased state aid to elementary and secondary educatio n by $460 million without a blink . This year, we11 probably go to S400 mill ion." But selling fellow legislators on relatively non--tontroversial and less expensive higher ed programs (such as raising the dollar amount of Regents Scholarships at a cost of perhaps SIO or $12 million), would nevertheless " be a tough job" for LaValle and similarly minded legislators, the Long Island Republican contended. "It goes back to getting a mindset that higher education deserves a higher prior~ ity in the budget process." He reite rated that a unified message to Albany would go a long way toward creating that atmosphere of sup port. B oth Siegel and LaValle said New York State offers an impressive array of educational programs. "As far as I'm concerned," LaValle commented, " we have a nationally rated program in every discipline." Siegel agreed: "The system in New York State is un iq ue in that it has a b~ which is substantial in all the sectors. We offer the people who choose to stay in New York State the broadest possible range of academic and social experiences. There is virtually no experience that you cannot seek in higher educat ion - unless it 's tanning - that cannot be obtained in New York State." Both legislators have urged the state"s Commerce Department to develop an " I Love New York" campaign on behalf of the state's educational resources, so far to little avaiL They contended that more needs to be done to retain the many New York State students who go out of state for their college educations. According to the recent report issued by the lndependent Commission on the Future of SUN¥, New Yo rk is a net exporter, in any give n year, of some 64,000 students - a number equal to the total enrollment of 13 SUNY campuses. Siegel argued that '"the retention of even half the currently exported students 1 !.:~~~~r"'~; 7h:-=:: :t'b~:,~ s.. Affairs, te Unlnrsttr of New York •t Bufr.lo.

R eeducation of people whose skills have become irrelevant in job markets, by itself, would fill up the so-called empt y places. We must also st rive to give a n educa tio n t o people who early in their lives had to defend themselves in the economic marketplace and th erefo re lost the opportu nity to be educated irf't he great cultural, et hical, and histo rical traditions of our society. " We must se rve those people and give them the broad type of humanistic liberal arts ed ucation that 1 believe every perso n in this state deserves and from which I believe our culture will benefit. That, too, by itself, would fill up the s upp osed deficit." New York's college-gomg rate IS the highest in the nation, Siegel continued, adding that for several reasons, he believes that "the projections of college attendance as we head toward the third millennium are going to be sharply higher than was thought in the past." Remaining on the state's agenda, said Siegel, is a much needed re-tooling of New York's college graduates with the skills appropriate for today's job market, along with an improved academic preparation for students desiring to enter college in the first place. • Weeks Director of Public Affairs HARRY JACKSON Last On Week Us!

He called the Reagan government "the most antifamily administration in years,'' labeling the proposed cuts "frightening and destructive. Sometimes I think all these people know about education is 'Beach Blanket Bingo' or 'Animal House.'" Responding to another question, Siegel said the state"s lottery "does nothing to support education." For all intents and purposes, he said, lottery receipts go into the state's general operating fund. To say otherwise by way cif promoting the lottery "is garbage," he contended. La Valle offered mo re temperate comments on the administration's proposed financial aid cuts. Though a Republican, the se nator recently sent a letter to the President requesting modifications in the financial aid proposals. " I believe there will be modifications in what has been present~ , " he predicted. Asked about SUNY's future in the State's economic development, LaValle responded that "part of the problem in SUNY IS that you can) move with the sa'me del iberate speed as the independ ent tnstitutions."' 0 CAMP US BESTSELLER LIST 4 3 by Andrew M .

He added that he uses the fees he receives from the debates to invest in his business and .. for my own personal livelihood . A nd there's nothing wrong with that.

And Hoffman is condemning them. He's cut himself off. We as college students and Yuppies have to take responsibility for governing." "Tbe Yuppies are not a political movement," declared Hoffman. " They're a phenomenon. Like flappers, like punks. J don 't give a goddamn what your attitudes toward nuclear weapo ns or the poo r a rc. I'm interested in what you're doing about it.

" Yip/Yup From page 1 success of the university with some other yardsticks besides the size of its research budget and the extent of its contribution to the gross national product. . At least that's bow Hoffman sees it: "Two of the questions raised during the sixties were, what is the role oft he unive~­ sity in society and what is the role of the student in the university? Those two questions must be raised . again . If you stait to look behind the walls of the university you're going to get an education in how power really works. Should a university invest in South African businesses? Should a university be doing war research? Do CIA recruiters belong in an academic community? The administration wants you to believe you'te only here for a diploma, that,you're only here for yo ur career. CampuS!:s today are hotbeds · of social rest. I'm urg~ you to consider yo urselves as citizens, orld citizens. This is not the time to re eat i'mo the complace ncy of the universit anctu ary."' Hoffman's acl.fvism didn' end in the 1960s.

He is using some of his debate income to take Americans to Nicaragua each sum mer to see firs th and what is taking place there. The l ~t goes on and on. Hoffman is still active in grass roots organizing, civil disobed ience, and yes, a bit of guerilla theater now and then. By his own admission he hasn't changed. erry Rubin has. Once he and Hoffman created havoc by showering members •of the American Stock Exchange with one d ollar bills. Today he arranges meetings between businessmen at his networking salons. "You can be in business and not be a heartless Reagan Republican," Rubin began his argument. " A generation with a tremendous social conscience has gone in to the American system to be successful and to change that system ."

These groups do have control over their money M:caUse they can decid e whether they want to spend the money for interCollegiate lthletics. he use of student fee mooey for intercollegiate athletics is not mandated and the undergraduate Student Association is the Only one of the si x stu<Jent governments that chooses to spend its money this way, he said. It spent $205,000 this year, the President noted. Sample also po·inted out that the intercollegiate program is supported in great T part by the state. Direct aid fo r things like salaries is close to a half million dollars, he said. Indirect aid for things like physical plant brings the total up to S 1.5 or S2 million, he indicated. The athletic control board would be the same as, not in addition to, a task force, Sample noted. It would have three major tasks, he said. First, it would develop a Io·n g-range plan for interco~giate athletics at UB. Topics might include-post-season play, conferences, and academic requirements. Second, it would review and monitor recreation policy. Third, the board would review sources of income each year and . prepare and oversee a budget. Administrative control would be through the provost, Sample said. · D �M•rch 7, 1985 Volume 16 No. 21 SDI UB shares in unclassified defense research By EDWIN DOBB B is ·one of five universities sharing a fou r-yearS 19 millio n gra nt fro m the Defense Department's Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, (SD I), Senators Daniel M-oynihan, D-N.Y., and Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y., announced February· 28.

Black began work on the project a year ago.

SUNY lifted its ban on fraternities and sororities in 1976. but for UB the Greeks exactly how the Town Board will proceed," Taulbee said. She added that the proposal will probably be discuss.ed at the March 18 Town Board meeting. The land , located on the west side of Sweet Home Road and north of Chestnut Ridge Road , is properly zoned for the are a trend of th e last few years. .. Fraternities and sororities have been gaining a lot of momentum over the last five years and now they're at the point proposed housing but any co nstruction undesirable for .. political reasons .. so of off-<:ampus fraternity and sorority houses and dormitories in Amherst requires a special permit from the Town Board . The UB Foundation plans to buy the site from the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, if the project is okayed. "If the permit is approved, we will have to work out the specific plans in an ad hoc fashion; the Town does not have any specific design regulations for-fraternity and sorority-type housing," Taulbee sa1d. The UB Foundation is ibterested in buying the land at the.req~est·of the Divi- where they need housing," Black said.

Welch, Jr., as he looks ahead to his term as chairman of the Faculty Senate is revitaliza- T tion of committees . .. It may sound narrow or quaint , but that's the basis of the faculty government," he said of the committees. He's loo.king for faculty members who will volunteer their time and talents , especially people who haven' senied before . .. There 's a tende]lcy toward inbreeding," he explained. "We're bringing new faculty (on campus) all the time. We should be alert to new talent. " The normal term of committees is two years, Welch said. He hopes appointments can be m~e in the spnng so they're ready to go in the fall . Standing commi\lees "In: Academic Freedom and Respo115ibility, Academic PlanningJ/ Admissions and Retention, Affirmative Action, Athletics, By-laws, Computer Services, Continuing Educa- tion, Educational Programs and Policy, . Elections, Facilities Planninj!. Faculty Tenure and Privileges, Gradmg, Information and Library Resources, Research and Creative Activity, and Teaching Quality. Welch has been elected to a two-year term as chair of the Fac\llty Senate. His term will begin in September. Until then, he serves as chairman-elect. Another important task of the Faculty Senate is responding to issues. Welch listed several that might get al!ention from the Senate in the coming year. "The question is, how do we want to use our energy and talent?" Welch said. "The Senate has the right to examine a whole host of issues if it deems them relevant." One issue is that of the general education program, ·he said. The questions on that are: what do we want to do, how should it be done, and what are the existing obstacles? The very important marriage of academic affairs and the health sciences is another issue that needs ongoing evaluation, he noted. Thise areas have a long history of separate development and the Senate ought to be aware of the contrasts that exist, he said. Welch is careful not to use phrases that make it sound as if one is superior or as if health sciences is on the periphery of the University and needs to be pulled in. There should be mutual knowledge and enrichment, he explained. Part of that is clarifying the balance between teaching and research across the University, he said. Still another related, if less pressing problem, is the subject of names. Welch said he'd like to see somebody come up with something other than .. academic affairs" which sounds slightly risque, or "general academic core" which has the brusque-sounding acronymn of "GAC". T he Senate represents all of the full- time faculty. That's a simp le statement that leads to a complicated question. .. What do we do with the pal"t-time faculty?" Welch asked. "And we have a lot. Maybe 25 per cent of teaching is done by part-time people. It's an issue I'm aware of, but I don't know of a solution." large, barren , fragmented. and not especially welcoming to newcomers." How faculty members interact with their colleagues also deserves attention fl"om the facuhy, he said. The message that UB wants to send out is that this is a quality un iversi ty where people can leam a gTeat deal in a pleasant setting, he said. Student issues are another concern, he said. The Student Life Commillee, which Welch proposed in the fall, is just gelling underway and deserves counterparts in faculty are concemed about the need for periodic review of acaM any demic administrators, Welch went on. the Professional Staff Senate and student The faculty themselves are regularly government, he said. There has been some controversy in the Faculty Senate Executive Committee over which issues are student iss ues and reViewed . ... Administrators are our colleagues who, we're sure, would welcome review whether the Faculty Senate should even address them. "If it impacts upon the quality of our teaching and the general atmosphere on campus, it's relevant," Welch said. "Of course, there are degrees of relevance ... It's up to the Senate to decide which issues it chooses to tackle, he said. Demographics is tied to the student on a fair and open basis," he said. The use of support services such as the libraries, computers and the Educational Communications Center m&.k.e up another area the faculty can look into, to make sure the services effectively support the overall teaching effort, he said. The Faculty Development Workshop for new teachers will again be held in August. issue. The Senate has heard many times ''It arose from a Senate committee, that there will bt fewer high school ~rad­ captured the enthusiasm of the faculty and got well timed financial support," Welch said. "It enhanced the quality of campus life. It's the model I just love to uates in the next decade, Welch pomted out, and that there might be uncomfortable consequences for faculty. ... We don't have a large, semi-captive audience," Welch said. "We have to be much more concerned with student life see." Welch: commlltees are the first priority. public benefit corporation will have been srartc:d by rhc:n. Bur realistically, i t pl"ob- ably will still be under debate. It 's an issue that will involve a lot of faculty consideration, he said. Parking is one more topic that will be considered in the fall, Welch predicted. elch is a professor of political W science. He ts currently on sabbati- cal, working on a book to be called No Farewell lo Arms? Military Disengagement From Politics in the Third World. His publications have focused on Africa and the political roles of armed forces. His major administrative posts at UB have included dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, associate vice president fo,. academic affairs, and chairman of the Depanmenl of Political Science.

In short, a cradle of life as lifelike as possible. Among the inorganic materials that would be expected in the ancient environment, argues CairnsSmith, the best qualified candidate for this seminal role ts clar.. Clay is a widely distnbuted stable product of rock weathering, notes Costanzo. Clay minerals are complex structures composed of distinct layers reminiscent of the pages in a book. The reason for this sheet-like appearance, explains Giese, "is that th~ bonds between atoms within a A layer are cry much stronger than the bonds bet» n layers. In addition, many clay minerals are chemically impure and 1everal common elements in the Earth ·s crust easily substitute for one another. Thus, a typical layer in a clay mineral a solid-state information system roughly equivalent to an old-fashioned computer · punch card or a magneti~ tl!pe. "Many of these substitutions unbalance the local bonding in ways that can be sensed by an adjacent layer," Giese continues. "During growth of a new layer, the pattern of substituting atoms in the old layer, at least in principle, can be reproduced by a similar pattern of substitutions." Water and organic molecules fre- of maturity that allows them to replicate independently, the organics part with their clay scaffolds. This transfer of know-how is what Cairns-Smith calls genetic takeover, or "the gradual replacement of an old technology with a new. " Genetic takeover is the heart of his theory. Catrns-Smith reflects: "What has to be passed on between generations of organisms, to maintain the line, cannot in the canal. Costanzo reports that so far there is little direct experimental evidence to support the idea of genetic takeover. But in 1981 a German researcher, Armin Weiss, demonstrated the inheritance of certain chemical properties through 20 generations of smectite crystallites. Clays-first advocates have greeted his results with the same enthusiasm that chemical evolution P.roponents expressed long term be a material: it can only be upon hearing of Mtller's landmark elect- quently migrate into the spaces between information if it is to be transmissible clay layers, causing the layers to separate. indefinitely. And what evolves is not the ric spark experiment. But Cairns-Smith and Costanzo advise that any questions regard.ing specific genealogies - our own in particular - lf the separation is large enough a clay organism exactly, but rather the informa- crystaUite can be divided into two or tion '!'hich they transmit." By saying that early forms of life evolved from clay minerals Cairns-Smith suggests that organic more smaller crystallites. The daughter clays retain the special chemical properties of the parent and act as seeds that generate still further crystallites. In other words, clay is an inorganic system that stores, transfers and elaborates informa- tion while reproducing itself, properties it shares with the living organtsms it foreshadows. Moreover, clay is an inorganic system with strong affinities for organic molecules. A natural chemical symbiosis exists between clays and simple organics. The substitutions in the clay crystals act like templates or scaffolds that hold molecules in stable patterns long nough for orderly chemical reaction sequences to occur. In turn, the organics hel p shape an environment that favors accelerated lie well outside the ken of science. Singular, historical events are impossible to molecules imitated some properties of verify experimentally. Current debate clay crystals - most important, their proto-hereditary mechanism- and by so doing took over functions that had evolved under entirely different, that is, concerns only the more general issue of inorganic or prebiotic, conditions. with bioengineering re sea rch and development.

This means that the food canal might act as a bouyancy device and also as an alternative means of absorbing may have aluminum or magnesium in clay formation.

The heredity know-how that protein may have borrowed from clay and refined over the last 3.5 billion years is presently being annexed by 20th century scientists. Their labs are orderly, efficient, amply equipped. These chemists aren't working haphazardly. They're guided, for better or worse, by human intention. The work they do reminds us that the question of life's origin is now inseparable from the question of life's next destination. 0 Hearings judgement was superior to the president's.

Cairns-Smith of the University of Glasgow. His recipe for the creation of life, considered imaginative but highly speculative when first proposed in 1966, is now attracting serious attention. The theory is being debated in technical journals and dissected in college classn!>oms. People are starting to care about clay. 0 dd to the evidence for respectability a new geo logy course developed by A Patricia M. Costanzo, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow in the Depanment of Geological Sciences at UB. Costanzo taught th e course, called "Mineral Origins of Life, ··ror the first time in the fall of 1984. At first glance, the idea that clay minerals like kaolinite and smectite are our distant co usins seems, to put it kindly, far-fe tched. But our skepticism may be due in part to different views about what co nstitu tes life and to a Jack of appreciation for the similarities between the earliest organisms and complex species that wander the Eanh today. Like Augustine w;eslling with the subject of time, most of us are certain we know what life is unt il the day we 're asked to define it , at which point certainty yields to bewilderment. Go ing back to beginnings is never easy, and pinpointing the origin of plan ts and animals is no exception. Marking the moment when life appeared is especially difficult because it is a classic .. watched pot" problem: The transition from lifelessness to life is precisely the period when differences between the two states are most difficult to detect. This inescapable dilemma notwithstanding, biologists agree on a handful of basic properties held in common by all living things found well this side of that fugitive transition. The principal attributes of life, most would say, are organization, the ability to reproduce, information sto rage, and the fl,bilities to transmit information from one generation to another and to extend the amount and the complexity of stored information (through- mutation). . ·To elaborate: an organism is highly organ ized and its internal structure endures. An organism also grows. Though attended by changes in form and function, growth typically follows an orderly, repetitive pattern . However, in the genetic pool of an entire species there occur variations - mistakes or mutations - which under certain environmental conditions increase the odds that the individual organism bearing th ose mmations will survive. The inheritance of these favorable attributes - and thus the evolution of the species - depends on the organism's ability to retain the newlyacquired information (via mutation) ·and to pass that informatio n to the nex t generatio n. The geological record s u~­ gests that life forms meeting these crite na made their debut long before the appearance of any species we might publicl y acknowledge as kinfolk. anh is believed to have formed 4.5 billion years ago while the age of the earliest known fossils - bacterial microorganisms in layered, dome-lik.e st ructures called stromatolites - appears to be about 3.5 billion years. The mterveningd awn of one billion yea rs o r so has provoked a number of spec ulat ive creati on stories. The most popular version tod ay is that life percolated from a "hot dilute so up .. of chemicals that presumabl y co ndensed as the planet cooled. The chemical origi ns doctrine assumes that basic starting molecules packed with E "We all know what life is until the day we are asked to define it." the ingredients that make up more than 95 per cent of all living things today hydrogen , oxygen, carbon and ni trogen - were present in Earth's ancient atmosphere. Rain washed these molecules in to the oceans where in so me places they conce ntrated. Vigorously mixed and cooked with luckil y Limed jolts of energy - say, from lightning or intense solar radiation - the mole~ules- aggregated and congealed into the first replicating entities. C hemists and biologists admit there are grievous missing links in chemical evolution theory, but have offered tant alyz.ing evidence to suppon the early part o! their case. In 1953, for instance, Stanley Miller, then a graduate student at the Universit y of Chicago, arced an electric discharge through a mixt ure of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water va por. After one week some of the meth ane in his sim ula(ed ocean-atmosphere had been converted into several organic compounds, incl uding a few simple amino acids, the raw materials of pro teins. During the three decades since Miller's classic experiment other organic molecules have been synthesized unde r laboratory co nd itions. These include purines and sugars which are, respectively, constituents and essenti al structural elements of DNA a nd RNA . "' Here we have an exam ple, " co unters Cairns-Smi th in his b ook Genetic Takeover, "of a hypothesis that has become less plausible the more it has been 'confirmed.' .. What he means is that while these successes suggest a number of smaller molecular units co uld have for med in th e "primordial soup," they aJso show that formation of more complex molecules was improbable. Fabricating the simplest proteins, for exam ple, would reqmre a complicated workup comprised of hundreds of carefully orchestrated steps. Numerous types of molecules would have to be present in exact quantities at precise ttmes and under special conditiOns for such processes as purification, filtration, catalysis, and so on. Accordi ng to the clays-first theorY, explains Costanzo, these comple x pr o~edures could not have resulted from random mixing in a primordial ocean. '' Perhaps an even more difficult hurdle," explains Rossman F. Giese, Ph. D .. UB clay mineralogis t, " is the view that has developed in the past decade or so, that the early atmos phere on. Earth was not rich in methane, ammonia and hydrogen, as assume<! by the chemical evol uti onists, but probably was primarily carbon d ioxide and nitrogen, with oxygen following much later as a product of well-developed life forms."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Bunn. vice provost fo r und e rgraduate education. He noted in a memo on th e s ubject that the Faculty Senate endorsed the concept in 1-982 and President Steven Sample issued a directive that such reviews take place. A discussion about how to undertake systemic review of all the programs has occupied much of the time of the Undergraduate Council during the past year, he noted. There is no regular review of underg raduat e programs now , he said . The purpose oft he review is to evaluate specific objectives , to examine program coherence and in te rd ependence , to rethink the broad goals of undergraduate education , and to increase the appreciation of the diversity oft he undergraduate program in this institution where the tendency is toward specialization, Bunn wrote. A his is th e pro cess Bunn o utlined : · • Each und e rgraduate dcpanment is to undertake a self- tud y, preferably during the same se mester the graduate or professional revi ew is performed . The self-stud y is no t part of the graduate review process. but s hould t:re easier to accomplish if performed in conjunction with that rev iew. ' • The undergraduate director will perform the stud y with limited direction from the vice provost for undergraduate education regarding genera l objectives and priorities. • Once the self-study is completed, each department will nominate several UB undergraduate directors from adjacent disciplines who might serve as evaluators. The vice provost for undergraduate education, tn consultation wit h t he deans, will select two of the nominees, T plus one senior faculty member. to act as reviewers. • The evaluators will be requested to submit , to the appropriate dean. a repo rt with co mm ent s and recommend ation · ab o ut the pro gra m. The dean will. in turn . forward the report to the vice pro· vost fo r und e rgraduate educati o n with hi s/ her comments. • Once the vice provost has reviewed the evaluators· repon. he will disseminate it to the Undergraduate Council for their commen ts about appropriate action to be taken by the chairman, dean , or provost. • Once each year a forum will be held where all departments who have undergone review that year will present the resu lts of their self-study to interested facul ty in adjacent disciplines. uggested questions which each selfstudy might address includ e: • How might the department's overoll role and ·•fit" within University und ergraduate educatio n best be characterized'! • What are lhe specific objectives of the major a nd how arc they achieved? • \Vha t are the objectives oft he service and / o r general education courses? • What strategies are used in as igning facult y roles in undergraduate educatio n? • Are th e de partment's o bjectives closely relat ed to the actual needs of its student s? • Ho w has the department's ··fit " witHin the overall University undergrad· uate program changed in the last fi ve o r ten years? Bunn indicated that th e departments will be on· a seven-year schedule for program review. Departments that wish to deviate from the schedule can petition the vice provost for undtrgraduate education. Marilou Healey. assistant vice provos t. reiterated that the evaluation schedule will generally follow that for the graduate programs . A schedule should be ready in about a month, she indicated . 0 S Senate hears plans for evaluations, undergraduate college By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO caching evaluatio ns and the pro posed undergraduate college were two iss ues discussed by James H. Bunn , vice provost for undergraduate education, at a recent Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. · An evaluation process for both faculty members and teaching assistants is in place now, Bunn said . The deans have assured him that there will be total compliance by the end of this semester, he added. Afterthe Faculty Senate passed a resolution urging establishment of regular teaching evaluations. President Steven Sample, in December of 1983, approved guidelines. The guidelines mandated that each department should implement its own procedure by the fa ll of 1984 and stude nts should ~ave the opportunity to evaluate instruction in every course. Department c hairs should review, at leas! annually, the results of these student evaluations and other forms of assessment used by the department. the guidelines stated. The principal purpose of the reviews is to provide faculty members with the opportunit y to improve the quality of their teaching. Professional faculty from each department should directly monitor all teaching by graduate teaching assistants and each department should have in place, by the fall of 1984, a mandatory teaching effectiveness pro~ram forT A's, according to the same gutdelines. Raymond Hunt; professor in management, organization and human T resources, was concerned about the evaluations themselves. If the instrument is questionable and the feedback is misleading, that's worse than no evaluat ion at all , he said . acuity Senate Chairman Dennis Malone questioned whether the reviews are taking place. "I'm well aware of facul ty who have nevot heard of any evaluation of teaching - it simply does not occur,'" he said. ""I F another level of bureaucracy. The evaluations differ, ranging from SCATE (Stud'ent Course And Teacher Evaluation), to a question and answer fo rm , to a blank sheet of paper, Bunn said. Some departments limit publication of the evaluations while other compile booklets. " I'm going to encourage the deans to distribute the surveys so students can make an informed decision," he said. Bunn also suggested three ways to aid teaching assistants: courses in good teaching for all TA 's, acculturation prog rams for foreign students, and work in English language for foreign students. He recommended that deans and chairs put in place tbe first line of teach ing improvements. But help could also come from the proposed Office of Instructiona l Development as well as the Intensive Englis h Language Institu te. I ·think it's better to have. some feedback than none at all." Michael Frisch, professor of history, pointed out that the purpose of the evaluations is to get people to think about improving themse lves, not to add n a di scussion of the proposed undergrad uate college. Bunn said th at subcommittee reports will be requested after spring vacation and, hopefully. a model will be approved in the fall of this year. If everything's on schedule, the undergraduate c9llege will begin in the fall of 1986. 'There are three sub-committees, Bunn saiQ: curriculum, advisement and administ rat ive structure. ' The curriculum group is looking first at the Y'3Y the ..de facto core courses" are ta)lght, Bunn said. Those are the courses that are considered building blocks and have large enrollments, such as math economics, psychology and sociology.

The committee is also trying to figure out the ki nd s of cou rses that really constitute a general educatio n, he said . Th ere aren't enough new courses dCsigned for general ed ; instead a number of existing courses are used. " I have in mind aski ng senior faculty members to de sign first-principles courses, .. Bunn said. Bunn said his _persc;mal preference would be to deSign mterdtSctphnary · theme courses, such as a four-semester sequence in civiliz.ation. Malone asked whether Bunn thought the c urriculum co mm ittee could provide a focus now when the general education committeee has studied the issue for about eight years: "They're not desperate, they're in intellectual ferment ," Bunn said . ·"They're looking at parallel issues, but they're not going back to square o ne. " he job" of the adviseme nt sub· committee is to look at the way acaOt:mic ad visement and career counseling mesh, Bunn said . There is a good deal of slipp:!ge between the undergraduate program and the major. . Bunn is head of the th1rd subcommittee , administration. Thomas Barry, chairman of the Department of ~lassia;, questioned whether any changes had been made in the structure smce Bunn's December memo. None had , Bunn replied . The undergraduate college "would be administer~d by ADCAS" and fit mto 1ine under the provostal system, Bunn said.

Hammond, who is also a research assistant in UB's Department of Oral Biology. is refe rring to the status of the ongoing controversy between righi-to-life and pro-<:hoice • Sin'\:,: 1979 Hammo nd has been active in the Pf-q-choice movement. ''I n 1973~Supoeme Court said abo rtions shoul e safe and legal [Roe v. Wade]; my rna n thrust at this point is to ~intain that. I want to be sure that women - young women , minors , poor women - have access to safe and legal abortions," Hammond said. An indicator of escalating violence over the abortion issUe is the bombing of abortion and family planning clinics. "'There have been over 30 att ac ks this year," said Hammond. Clinics nationwide have been su bjected to fire bombings, arso n and the use of explosives. These crimes are the acts of a small faction of the anti-abortion movement, according to Hammo nd . grOill/S. ammond cited one group called the Army of God. ·•It 's a small radical group of the Ri gh t to Life Movement that has taken the law into its own hands," s he said . "Si nce they can't get the law changed they're go ing to sh ut down the clinics in their own way." All investigations in to criminal attacks on clinics have been handled by the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco. and Firearms. The groups th at Ha mm ond works wi th fi nd thi s unsatisfactory. .. We pro pose that these auacks a re ter- H should have the FBI investigate because that is the branch of the government that inves tigates terroris m," Hammond said. She added that Reagan claims to be slro ngl y opposed to all terrorism but seems to have neglected to act to stop the clinic bombings. " He is the most pro-life preside nt We've ever had ; we feel he's being very selective in hi s figh t agains t terrorism.'' Hammond said. Hammond has noted that even legitimate anti-abortion groups have increased their aggressf've ness. J "What they do is what we call'sidewalk harassment. ' They'll stand in fron t of an abortion clinic and try to talk the women o ut of having an abortion as th ey go in." Hamm o nd said. Hammond added that th ese groups feel that they have nothing to lose by being forceful.

A number of myt hs have been in ve nted to make th e co ntac.ts more difficult. say. th at visiting our semina rs by foreig n scientists may do harm to the institution s that host the visitor. or tlrat it may do harm for us etc.. up to direct slanders in our address .

"' We will be lob bying to mak e sure th at a ny j udges c hose n so lely on the basis of th eir anti-a bo rtio n positions will no t be a pproved," Hammond said . Th is possibility aside, anti-abortion grou ps have had little success trying to cha nge the law. "'The right-to-life groups have tried va rio us legislati ve maneuvers to pro hibit abortion but they have not been s uccess· ful. In fact th e Supreme Court reaffirmed Roe v. Wad e this past year by st ri king dow n very restricti ve local and State laws that would have d~mand e d a three.<Jay waiting period befo re havi ng an abortio n," Hammond said . In June of 1980 a Supreme Co urt rul ing gave Cong ress and th e state leg islatures the opt ion \O pay for medically necessa ry abortions. This rul ing gave each state the opti on to provide or deny Medicaid abortions. This is the o nl y legislative issue that Hammond credits to th e benefi t of the pro-life movement. "They're trying to whittle away little by litt le the abortio n rig hts of the yo ung and th e poor. t hose who really can 't s peak for themselves," she said. New York State is o ne of nine states which provide Medicaid ~ bortions. at a cost of $ 17.2 mi lli on per 500,000 a borti o ns. Compared to the $29.2 milli on spen t per 12.500 Medicaid births. this cost is not excessive. Regardless of thi s fac t Ham mond does not look a t th e abor· tion o ption as "cost effective.·· " R egardless of the cost of Medi caid abo rt ions. the point is that poor women should have the sa me access to safe a nd legal abortions as more affluent women. There shou ld not be a two-tiered health ca re system in th is co untry where the affluen t can have the bes t care possible and poor people have to fe nd for themselves." Hammond said. Abortion rights for minors is a battle· grou nd Hammond is preparing for. ''There will b.e a ve ry s trong m ove in Ne\\• York State to pass a law which will mandate parental consent for min ors," she said. Hammond strongly opposes thi s idea. " If you read case histo ries of min ors who have had abortions, you realize t hat their family si tuations are so hor rible th at if they wou ld ha ve had t o ge t parental consent it would have destroyed them.'' she said. .. I do no t think th at the State can legis· late good family relati onships: if we auempt to do that we will only make a bad si tua ti on worse," she said. Hamm ond added that mandatory parem a! consent would lead to more selfinduced and "'back alley" a bortio ns. greatly increasi ng the health risk to minoPS. Hammond will attempt to counteract th is and other actions of the pro-life advocates through th e heighfened awareness of all Americans. "It's basically a matter of counteracting them through education." H ammond said ~'From what I see that 's one of my major responsibilities." 0 Executive Editor University Publ iCations ROBERT T.

Sheila Puffer, of the School of Management plans to use her Individual Faculty Development Grant (IFDG) to study this phenomenon - when she gets around to it. ''Everyone is allowed two procrastina- ~ tion jokes, but that's it!, "said Puffer who is used to being the subject of such jokes. She defines procrastination as "putting off something you know in your heart you should be doing." She added that although it has not been extensively stud ted, IllS a phenomenon whtch has many innuences on organizational behavior. "In managerial journals there are billions of articles relating to time manage- ment , but they mostly deal with how-to methods which don1 ex plain the reasons lor improper time use and are not effec- tive in all situations," Puffer sa id . Puffer feels motivation is closely re lated to procrastination but on a different dimension than has been studied . .. The work on motivation looks at the strength of effon and not the direction of effort: I would like to look at the direction ," she said. Currentl y Puffer is determining what method she will use with the help of ljer research assistant James Brakefield , a doctoral student in the School of Management . "I would like to develop a "lab stud y to look at procrastination m a controlled situation and I would also like to look at the real world through questionnaires and interviews with actual business peo- ple," Puffer said.

Goumain explains that high tech industries , despite their tremendous growt h in the lasi2Qyears, still constitute only a small portion of the nation 's gross natiOna l product. "Neve rtheless. in direct terms. •• says Goumain, " high technology industries have become extremely influential. lndeed,lhey have had a ripple effect throughout the eco no my. and have set new standards for the workplace." Continues Goumain: .. A new building type has aciUally evolved as a sorl of hybrid between the earlier industrial and • office categories. Its characteristics are itill ill-<lefined , though there is much new knowledge which we will draw upon during our conference. This knowledge cenlers on present-<lay demand for high tech production environments and the technical requirements of building and suppl ying these production environments." The UB professor adds !hat high tech- _ nology workplaces. by their very nature, requ ire a close link with the .. brainpower" of a strong research university such as UB. Also, lhe designer musl co nsider the unu sual na ture of the high technology work place. o ne which links "people. process and place" in ways unkn own to traditional industry. Many of the high tech settings (science or resea rch parb and th e like) arc gove rned by strict building covenants intend ed to ensure a ce rtain aesthetic qualit y. Also. Goumain adds. "it is important to desig n these enviro nments so that the highl y skilled white collar and technical e mployees need ed will. indc.:d. be attracted to these work se ttings.

However, the Trus tees, chancellor. and ca m.. pus presidents would be given more authority, responsibility, and nexibility in managing reso urces. This would be accomplished by amending the State Education Law under which SUNY originally was created in 1948 as a conventional state agency. Unde r that law. Universi ty administrators are required to act under regulatory restraints which th e Ind ependent Commission and SU Y agree arc inappro priate to a major educa ti onal institution. In its "statemen t of intent and purpose" in restructuring SUNY as a public corporation, the draft bill said: ''Gove rning bodies of public universities in other states enjoy a greater level of manageme nt flexibility in the administration of their respective instituti o ns th an is available under cu rrent state law by the (SUNY Trustees). As a consequence. these institutions in other states have a greater competitive advantage ove r (SUJI!Y) in recruiting · students and faculty and attracting research and philanthropic s upport." It added that the Board "should be provid_ed greater management nexibility in governance in order to enhance the ability of the campuses of,the University to improve the quality of higher education." . Under the . corporation structure, no basic change is contempl~ted in the manner in which SUNY's annual budget is developed and appropriated.

The public corpo ration concept proposes that th e funds be gra.nted to SUNY as ·a "consolidated budget ," giving the Trustees, chancellor, and campus presidents greater freedom to allocate and reallocate the resources within the established appropriation limits and policy directives.

Currently, purchasing and contracting is subject to prior approval of other state agencies, s uch as the Comptroller and the Office ofQeneral Services. as well as extensive, mandatory competitive bidd ing requi rements. This lengthy process frequentl y preve nts the UniversitY from taking advantage of favorable pricing opportunities or securing the best equipment to meet the specialized needs of the campuses. Under the bill, the Trustees would have the authority to contract and to set bidd ing requirements. With respect to personnel, the Universi ty would continue its current collective bargaining relationships with employee unions, and personnel would continue to have State-employee status for purposes of all employment-related benefits. A Howeve r, in the profess ional se rvice levels, the Trustees would have authority to classify positions, make transfers of positi o ns between campuses, and establish compensation for managerial and confidential employees as well as for campus presidents and the chancellor. The draft legislation would not empower SU Y t o incur bonded indebtedness, nor would it alter the autho rit y of the Board of Regents to set policies and standards for education in New York State. The S U Y system's 30 community colleges would remain an integral part oft he University system under the public corporation structure. However, their operating procedures under which they also primarily are responsible to their local sponsors would be unchanged. 0 A Joint public hHrtng on " Public Education In New York Slate" being conducted by the N- York Stale Auembly Higher Education Committee end the New York Stete Senale HIGher Education Committee . wiH be held Frtday, Men:h 1, In Room 418 Cleveland Hall, Buffalo State College, beginning al 11 L m.

In the hi story Bach. performance practice, and to quicken the musical debate. Landow- ska 's was essentially a romantic interpretation, yet she, along with the organISt E. Power Biggs, did manage to "give back to the world something akin to Bach's original sound, .. says Rich. Since then. of course, musical scholarshi p ~as further illuminated the baroqu"- world, affording an unexpectedly ricft ·nsight into the so unds of Bach's time~For one thing. musicolo- gists have est lishl!l! that these were generally quiete sound s:, in some ways shar_,per and more colorful than today. In Harnoncourt's words, "the individual instruments were much more distinctive in their character than in the modern orchestra which has grown out of the requirements of the 19th century." Of course, as Richard Westonburg of New York's Opera Sacra notes, .. Most of our baroque concerts are in spaces out of proportion to Bach's church in Leipzig, which was not very big. Voices and instruments made an impact there that they can't in Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall." the present as a necessary improvement of art this alti tude has long been ou tdated; the present day is no longer regarded as the climax to which all "i mprovements' have led." Indeed, Harnoncourt continues, .. it was s hown that every •improvement' to an instrument has to be paid for with a deterioration. One s hou ld speak not so much of an improvement as of an alteration, by means of which the instruments were adapted to continually changing taste and continually new demands made by the composers ... But there is a broader question at bay in this thirst for authenticity. Contends Newsweek's Rich: "" In the end , the question ofthe'authentic' Bach can never be resolved: determining the genuine li -cle would require a time capsule containing an 'authentic' audience, one that had heard no Beethoven , no Wagner, no Beatles - nothing from the interven- . ingcenturies - and ready to react to the quotient of daring in Bach as his own listeners had . It is far easier nowadays, however, to locate newly made instruments that closely resemble th ose of Bach's time: vio lins with gut strings. end-blown nutes, high trumpets and the like. Does an orchestra using such instruments guarantee a greater prox- imity to Bach than an intelli~ent use of ' 'normal' instruments? On thts questiOn the musical world stands divided ." In an excellent 1976 article for Commentary. musician / writer Edw~rd Rothstein poin ts to what he perce1ves are dangers in an overzealous quest _for an unsullied "authenticity." "Mus1cal orthodoxy insists that the texts of the past a re primarily hi storical documents rather than artistic ones, and to the extent th at they speak to th e present they must do so with the voice of the past , to th e exten t that they are to be appropriated artistically they ca n be appropriated in only one mode .. ThiS thesis is as misapphed to mus1c as IllS to the exegesis of the Bible." Another danger: ''Thei r interpretations tend to be stylized and ove rdrawn , and so much attention is paid to detail that the drama gets lost." Still, as Rothstein makes clear, it is ridiculous to deny the great worth of the authentic renderings of Bach. ""These record ings (on baroque instruments) are important for the sc ho la rsh ip they reflect , for their resto ration of a "baroque' sound, for their debowdlerization of the text. After hearing therri and living in their world it is difficult to go back to the performances of Karl Richter. or Robert Shaw, witho ut missing the clarity of articulated phrase and audible score which Harnoncour.t and (Gustav) Leonhardt have achieved.·· ne recalls the wistful tone of Charles Sanford Terry. writing in his 1932 "It is a misfortune that Bach's o boe music is so sel<!.om rendered by the instruments for which he wrote it. The modern oboe accu- 0Bach's Orchestra: rately replaces neither his ordinary instrument nor the oboe d'amore, for which it is generally made to deputize." So, despite well-founded fears that the authenticity craze could become pompous, even self-i ndulgent , Lawless and others argue persuasively that so mething had to be done about the stylistic amplifications of the 19th century Bach revivalists. These "stylisms," Lawless argues , " had encrusted the insp iration s of an earlie r age ... Moreover, Lawless considers the concep t of performances using peri od in s trum en ts, .. a vita l, enlivening approach to 18t h century masterworks, rather than an esoteric pursuit." Founded in 1970, Ars Musica won High Fidelity "s "Critics' Choice" award for its 1980 recording, with the Early Music Choir, of Handel's Messiah. The o rchestra also performed the M essiah in a performance broadcast throughout the nation by National Publ ic Radio. Ars Musica has performed to a full house at Washington 's Smithsonian Instit ution a nd unites professional musicians of diverse talents, interests and experience. Several members were introduced to baroque instruments at an early age; one orchestra member has studied the acoustical properties of 18th cent ury performa nce halls in England, France and Ital y.

These units include Arts and Letters. Management, S IL S , Social Work, Health Related Professions, and Law. Priority goes to new faculty or to established faculty who wish to pursue a new direction or a new area of research.

The beeping sound changed little since the tip of the probe was still exposed and was stil l detecting back'ground radiat io n. · But when the tip of the p; obe was placed against the VDT scree n, the beeping actually became slower. The needle on the meter indicated less radiati o n. This was because any X-ray emission from the VDT was negligible. possi bly even non-exi stent. and the casing o n th e VDT actually helped shield the meter from background radiation .

Th e Food and D rug 1\"tlministra ti on"s Bureau of Radio logical Health. which meas ures rad ia tion in VDis. reported that " video display terminals sho uld not pose a-radiation risk to th ose who o pera te them." Hunt noted that there are no radioactive materials in a VDT: any X-rays in th e equ ipmen t are caused by high po wer electricity. Sherman added that the need for high power has been reduced because of the innovation 9f microcircuitry. A represe ntative of t he American College o f Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated that radiation from VDT's "is insufficie nt to cause spo ntaneous abortions. birth defects. or any other adverse effect on reproductive function. ·· acco rd ing to an article in the Occupational 'safety & Health Reporter.

Ars Mu sica, an acc laimed baroque chamber music o rchestra fro m Ann Arbor, Michigan, will play all six Bra ndenburg Co ncertos. using facsimiles of baroque instruments, plus o ne original viola. In addition to vio lins, vio las, nut~ and cellos built to replicate the instruments of Bach's t ime, the Slee audi ence will hear the gamba from the Italian viola do gamba or " knee fiddle ... By the 16th century, gam bas had become highly sensiti ve instruments a nd were built in various sizes (descant , alt o, tenor, small bass, large bass, and contra-bass). In the seco nd Brandenburg Conce rt o, Ars Musica founder and director Lyndon Lawless has indicated the use of the natura l ho rn rather tha n the usual trumpet. Other period instruments to be heard include the reco rder, the threekey o boe, I he five-key bassoon, a "harpsicho rd built by David Sutherland of Ann Arbor, and the viol in o piccolo. a s mall vio lin tu ned a mi no r third higher than a co nven ti onal violi n. Keith Hi ll of Gra nd Ra pids built the majority of the s tring instrum ents, working closely with Ars Musica mu icians in the process. Manha S10kely, th e orc hes tr a's three-key oboist , says facsimiles are used for several reasons. For one thing, originals in good sha pe are ex tremely diffi cult to obt ain, if not prohibitively expens ive. Also. man y technical changes have occ urred , especiall y in the case o f the string instruments. Explains Nikolaus Harno ncourt , founder of the Conce ntus Musicus Wien, a European group which records .. a uthentic" performances of Bach and others. using period inst ruments, origi nal instrumentation , and res tored scores: .. The bowed instruments, the core of every ensemble, look almost exactl y 1he sa me as tho e of 250 years ago, indeed instrumenls of 1his period are still freq uently played . But in the 19th ce ntury these instruments underwent profoun d structural cha nges 1n o rder to adapt them to the new requirements. panicularly with regard to vo lume and tone colour. (The Stradivari violin so unded qui1e differen t at t he time when it was made compared wi th how il ·ounds today. No beller or wo rse. tun fundamentally different.)" The differences in woodwind instruments are more apparent. Today's woodwinds have many more keys and o ther mechanical playing aids. Harnonco urt points out. -whereas the varying tone colours of the se mi-tones produced by cross fingerings on 1he keyless instrume nt s were particularly valued (during the baroque period) - the ' 'arious to nalities thus acquiring dis tinctive c haracters - si nce the 19th cenwry the aim has Deen as s mooth a chromatic )tale as possible and a maximum of dynamics ... As lor the horns a nd trumpets, they were .. purely natural instruments until well into the 19th ce ntu ry, i.e., on ly the C A upper harm o nics o f a fundame ntal note co uld be produced on them." Valves were la1er added , thu s enabling the inst rum en talist to play all the chromatic no tes lyi ng in between the natura l no tes. In playing all six Brandenburg Concenos, Ars Musica will repeat its 1983 concert befo re a sold-out audience at ew York 's Merki n Concert Hall. Writes director La wless in hi s program notes: "'The o rder of the pieces in thi s performance ... has been dete rmined by practical co nsiderations m usicians' e ndurance, va rious changt:s of instruments, and late '20 th ce ntury programming logic. Since I do nol believe that the Brandcnburgs were intended to be performed in one evening, Ch is does not, for me, a t least, destroy a ny logic of ove ra ll co nstruction. But j ust because they may not have been intend ed for a conti nu o us perform~nce, this does not mean we cannot have the happy experience of heari ng them this way." On March 24, 1721 , Bach dedicated the concertos to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenbu rg, whom he had met two years earlier in Be rlin . These concertos, copied out in complete score form by Bach fo r the dedicatory copy. were handed down from perso n to person fo r the next century and were first printed in 1850 in commemoration of the cente nary of Bach's dea th . The late 19th ceniUry Bach scholar, Spi n a. apparen1 ly coined the phrase. .. Brand enburg Concertos" and as such they ha ve bee n an established pan of 1he orchest ral pie). Sometimes the Branden burgs are mixtures of the concerto grosso and the solo co ncert; that is, there is o ne predomin ant soloist agai nst an orchestral selling. Says Horace Wo r k: "'The sco ring is pure evidence of Bach's genius and the six con.c ertos, despite thei r d ive rsity, clearly function together as a g ro up." The Branden burgs were forgotten afte r Bach's death , as was the case with his vast o utput as a whole . Even toward the end of hi s life- time, he was see n as an old-fas hioned compose r, whose baroque co mplexity was so mehow out of ste p with the linear tun efulness of the new classicism. Then came J ohan n Nichola us Forkel's 1802 essay, "On Johann Sebastian Bach's Life, Genius, and Wo rk s, "which stimulated renewed interest in Bach's music. New editio ns of Bach's works we re subseq uently published , and performances by Beeth ove n, Czerny, Zeiter, Schumann and Mendelsso hn led to a true rev ival. After a lapse of over 100 years , then, the Branden burg Concertos were first perfo rm ed for th e general public by Fritz Steinbach and his Mei ninge n Orchestra. 1n de bating the merits of playing Bac h o n period instrument s vs. modern o nes, the musical world stand s divided , wrote Alan Rich in a recent Newsweek cove r story o n the March 21 worldwide o bservance of the tricentenary of Bach's birth . There were lamentable, thpug h understandab le, devi ati ons in the 19th cen tury. Wrot e Ric h: "'The Bac h taken to hea n by the Ro mantics was. of cou rse, an impure product.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Wagner, vice president for university services. announced Tuesday. Naylor has been at the University for the past 17 years and has served in several administrative posts, including both associate dean and acting dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. He holds the M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard and did hisundergraduatework at Hamilton College. He was on the Harvard faculty for three years as an instructor before joining J U B as an assistant professor of history in 1967. He was associate dean of Social Sciences from 1978to 1981 and spent two terms in the dean's chair on an acting basis, the most recent being from January to August 1982. He is editor of Britain /919-1970 (1971), an anthology from the New York Times with an introduction. and of the Peerage Bill of 1719 an/J the British Aristocracy, one of seve volumes in an Oxford University P s series called Problems in European · tory: A Dorumentary Collection for hich he also State University of New York nee every four years our nation elects a president. Once every four years people from across the country cram into Washington, D.C. to witness the stan of this president's term in office, to participate in his weekend-long victory celebration. "The inauguration is pan historical and pan hysterical," says one Washington socialite. Dr. Gerald Goldhaber, chairman.of the Department of Communicatioa, would most likely agree with this description. As a political poUster for Congressman J aclc: K.emp and the Republican pany, Goldhaber attended both the 1981 and 1985 Preside~tiallnaug ural celebrations and considers himself a veteran inauguration guest. He sees aspects of the event _in the varying reasons people attend. Being an inaugural guest i.s no incxpenslve propo-sition, Goldhaber points out. He estimates that the average cost o( the inaugural weekend for one couple amounts to at least $3500, a sum which includes airfare, hotel accommodations and the rather pricey tickets for such activities as the Presidential balls and for seats at the inaugural parade. What, then, nlakes people throughout the nation fight for a chance to spend the money? One reason, Goldhaber suggests, is the opportunity to panicipate in an historical event. "It's part power - a chance to feel yourself a pan of history, to panicipate in a famous event, "' the pollster comments. "If you're a big contnbutor to the f>any, an invitation is sort of a reward. Some people attend o ut of pany loyalty or because the networking that takes place at the inaugural iS good for business you can make a lot of good contacts there." Many inaugural guests, though, look forward to the event for a rather different reason. They go for the social contacts, the inaugural parties, because the inaugural weekend is a star-studdl;il string of fast-paced -social events. ··The inauguration ceremony is only a few minutes •.., · says Goldhaber. "The rest is panics, and I like the parties!" he range of inaugural get-togethers provides something to fit just about any cosmopolitan taste. Goldhaber described various panics that he attended . Perhaps the ·most "taste-full" of these took place in the convenlion center outside the inaugural gala that the pollster also attended. Appropriately enutled "A Taste of the USA," this gathering featured the best chefs from America's most famous restaurants who cooked their specialties. It also gave guests a chance to T sample vintage f;...e from the 30 best wineries in the country. "The food was delicious," says Goldhaber. "For just $5 each, my wife and I ate the equivalent of two meals." A more exclusive though less gastronomically fulfilling pany was the one given by former New York gubernatorial candidate Lou Lehrman in honor of Edwin Meese and Jeane Kirkpatrick. Although the guests of honor did not appear until 4 a.m., many. other guests crowded into the house. "There was just oae staircase aod oae- elevator, •• reoaUs Goldhaber. "Getting one strawberry was a major accomplishment!" The pany did have some interesting guests, however. "'I met Estee Lauder - I introduced myself. She replied, 'My name is Lauder, as in Estee•, .. says Goldhaber, imitating the response of the cosmetic empress in the drawl of a society sophisticate. Despite wealth and glamour, many of the inaugural guests did one of the same things that weekend in Washington that the folks back home were doing - they watched the Super Bowl. Finding no other time open during the weekend in which to hold his get-together, N.Y. Senator Alfonse D'Amato held a "Super Bowl Pany.""lt was quite a good pany," remembers Goldhaber. "D'Amato held it in the Folger Shakespeare Library's mini Globe Theatre. At one end of this hall was a buffet and a string quanet. At the other - and most of the people were at this end - was the Super Bowl, projected on a giant TV screen.,. If football proved too tame and unexciting a sport, an inaugurai"'Toga Party'" was also on the weekend schedule. Looking undoubtedly more like characters from Animal House than dignified patricians of ancient Rome, party-goers threw dignity to the winds and donned bed sheets and laurel wreaths for yet another bash ... Everyone had a good time,, muses Goldhaber. "It was quite a sight - all those fat Republicans in togas! " The most famous inaugural paQies a.re, however, the Presidential balls. Nine balls are held, with those invited to attend assigned to them according to state affiliation. The Reagans made the rounds of the balls, staying only a shon time at each one. The President spoke at each and then danced a few dances with Nancy. · "An experienced ballgoer doesnl THE INAUGURAL Its half historical, half hysterical �February 21 , 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 Inaugural From page 1 expect to dance much - it"s j ust too crowded,"' explains Go ldh aber. ··vou get there as early as possi ble a nd ge t as close to the podium where the Preside nt is go ing to speak as you can, so you can get good pictures.

Eve n after the $250 per co up le price tag, though, you still have to pay fo r dri nk~." Goldhaber recourns an unusua l eptsode th at took place at t he ina ugural ball he attended . '' My wife an d I left soon after the President did so we d id n't actually see th is," he comments. " Most people waited until the Vice President Came, aro und II :30. After he left there was a rus h for coats. Of course there was a security check when you wen t to get your coat - they have to check I. D ."s and so );";;"'People so metimes had to wait up to ~o ur.

A lot of mink coats we re stolen.

"'The economic recovery was obvious. More mo ney was spent by those attend ing - and more must have been made by the organizers - because !he en rertai nment was absolute ly no good." Both of Reagan's inaugural celebrations stand out because of thei r elaborate price tags. With a more populist " We the People "theme. however, this year's eve nt was $4 mi llion less expensive than the ~ 1 6 mil lio n ex travaga nza th at launched the President's first term. Perhaps the thing that most distinguished the 1985 inaugural, though , was the temperature. " In 1981 it was 45 degrees," remembers Goldhaber. "This year it got down to 40 below with the wind chill factor. The actual temperature ranged from five degrees above to five below zero. The parade was cancelled and the actual inaugural ceremony was he ld indoors. It was so cold that the politicians actually had their hand s in their own pockets!·· Now that the inaugural pomp and parties are over for another four years, Goldhaber ha returned to the equally chilly climate of Buffalo. He doesn 't 1 expect this to be his last inauguration. however.

On May 18, he will speak at the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences· commencement at 2 p.m. in Alumni Arena and present the U B Oag which accompanied him on the mission. Jarvis, a native of Mohawk , N.Y ., and employee of Hughes Aircraft Company's Space and Communications Group, received the B.S. in electrical engineering from UB in 1967. A payload specialist on the mission, he is the first industry representative in space to participate in launching a privately owned satellite.

The program 's degree proposal has been approved by the State Department of Education. Up to now, students could take undergraduate courses in Women's Studies, but could receive only an undergrad uate degree with a major in American Studies and a concentration in Women's Studie~. she explained.

Jarvis was employed by Raytheon while completing theM .S. in electrical engineering at Nonheastern Universi ty. While wit h that company, he was involved in circuit design of the SA M-D missile. In 1969 , he joined the U.S. Air Force and was assigned to the Space Division in El Segundo, Calif. As a communications payload engineer in the satellite communications program offict, Jarvis worked on advanced tactical communications satellites as well as on form ul at io n. source selection and early design of the FLTSATCOM communications payload. After discharge from the service, he joined Hughes Aircraft Company's Space and Commu nications Group in 1973, first as a communications subsystem engineer on the MARISAT program. In 1975, he was nam ed spacecraft test a nd integration manager for MAR lSAT F-3 which was placed into geosynchrono us orbit in 1976. Jarvis was later a member of the System s Applications Laboratory, involved in the concept definition for advanced UHF and SHF communications for the strategic forces. In )978, he joined the Advanced Progra m Laboratory where he worked on form ulation a nd subsequent proposals for the SY COM / LEASAT program. Prior to his selection for the March mission. Jarvis worked on advanced satellite designs in the Systems Appli ca· tion Laboratory. The personable UB graduate who plays sq uash and racquetball enjoys wh ate water river rafting, cross country skiing, backpacki ng, and bicycling. Fo r relaxation. he plays classical guitar. He is married to- the former Marcia Jarboe. Dr. George Lee, dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences, says it's an honor that one ofUB"s engineering graduates has been selected as an astronaut. "We are pleased he s pecificall y requested a nag from here to tak~ on t.he mission and look forward to havmg ham deliver our commencement address ... he adds. D Women's Studies BA The und ergraduate program is a building block for the graduate program. Meyerowitz said. The underJlraduate degree program means ··public recognition that this is an important field for undergraduate student s," ~ h e said : .. It 's a fuller recognition of the ume and effort student s put in ." 0 ne of the things that makes UB's program unique is its ve ry strong Third World Women component, Meyerowitz saad. There are onl y about four (i"r five programs nationally with such an emphasis, Kennedy added . Ana Hidalgo, lecturer, is coordinator of that component. Studying the feminist movenle nt in othe r co~":tries gives a new perspect iv~ the f~mamst movement here, Hidalgo explamed: The movement in other countries is based more on economics and human rights than it is here, she said. In addition, the Th ird World Women component gives support to minority women at UB, Hidalgo said. When Women ] Studies wa~ started one or J. wo minority, women wou ld t ake~ course. th en disappear. she found . They came to Wom en' Studies look ing for support as women. But finding they ~ere the only minorities. they again felt aso· lated and left, she said. There is now a lot more retention of minorit y women in Women's Studies because of the component, she said. and it has had at least some impact on the Universi ty as a whole. Hidalgo said that minority women in the typically male areas of the sciences. management and architecture often get strength and support through the component. nother unique aspect of . UB's Women's Studies program IS 1ts practicum . Students can earn academic credit by working in commu-nity agencies, such as fhe battered wo men's shelter or Emma. rhe women 's bookstore.

"The co nstruction causes a problem of changing bo undaries; it's hard to kee p up adequate signs and lighting along the current path ... eve n during the day it's hard to find your way through," Gale said . This problem is o ne that Gale can see a solu tion to. "What is needed is reflecti ve "Sig ns th at point rhe way, and mo re of them than are up now," she said. Concerns were also voiced about the lighting of both campuses. " People don't seem to be conce rned about [installing] new lighting as much as they feel there should be more frequent checks to co rrect lights that ate there but aren 't working," Gale noted. Locking outside doo rs of the dormit ories at night has been proposed several times as a solution to safety proble ms. ••The atti t ude see ms to be that if we lock the do rm doors, everything will be okay. I don't think that 's the caoe. " Gale said .

R I T C H I E t its meeting of December II the Faculty Senate passed a resolution (see the Reporter, Dec. 13 pg. 5) concerning minodty hiring which is repugnant to my moral and rat ional beliefs and is counter to the best interests of the University and society. In the strong desire to dissociate myself from this resolution, and in the hope_that some of my colleagues will be Stimulated to examine their motives for _a~ opting the resolution , I state my 'pOSitiOn. . In an ideal university and society, no JUdgment of a person 's abilities or worth would be based , in any degree , on race· or sex . If this proposition be accepted , our present actions concern-ing discrimination - s h~ould be judged on whether or not they lead us toward th is ideal. The justification, as- I understand it. for favorable consideration of minorities and women as set forth in the resolutiori is that such consideration is necessary to correct the present situation of underrepiesentation of these groups in highly desirable and / or prestigious positions. There is no doubt that sUch underrepreseOtation exists, and that it resulted from racial and A sexual prejudices. In highly exceptional circumstances, even distasteful means might be just ified to achieve highly desirable goals. When such means are considered , however, one should be unusually careful that they will significantly further the goal without serious negative consequences. There are some hard fact s which indicate clearly that implementation of the resolution will no t significantl y advance the high goal and will have serious negative consequences. It is a well-documented fact that new minority and female candidates for University faculty positions are in short overcome by "aggressively" recruiting such people ftom positions already held at other institutions. Again, the supply is short and competition heavy. ven if we can overcome the E competition and hire from this group of people. what have we accomplished beyond a mere appearance of righteousness? Perhaps the proper function of this University will be aided by lhe presence of role models for our minority and female students? Is this_ "advance" worth the price? I thmk that one might legitimately question wheth er or not academicans are such highly desirable role models.· "There are some hard facts which indicate that implementation will not significantly advance the goaL" supply and highly competed for. This is particularly true in the "hard " sciences of chemist ry and physics. In chemistry, for example, there are fewer than 20 Ph.D. degrees awarded to blacks per year in the entire nation. The problem h~re cannot be solved by special recruiting among an already highly sought after group; the solution must be based on increasing the supply. It has been su!lllested that the difficulties which the sc1ence departments. particularly, will experience in successfully hiring minorities and women at the st~rting level might be A Cllmpus community .newspaper published each Thursday by the Division of Public Affairs, State University ol New York at Buffalo.

I ~ is" a fact that fore.ign students, parucularl.y Ja~anese. and Chinese, regard our U_mversny, and especially the · Chem1stry Department, as a desirable source of education. It seems that differences of cultural and racial factors of the students and faculty do not senously detract from the educational process. The Senate resolution , if followed , would reward those departments wh ich .are s~ccessful in hiring minorities. and females. In the zero-sum game, this must me_a n that le~s successful departments will be puniShed by having posi- Director of Public Affairs HARRY JACKSON • See Minority, page 9 tions taken away. Since there are significant differences in the pool of minority and female candidates in various fields, it is ine vitable that some fields will suffer. Unfor· tunately, it is precisely those fields which are needed to increase the supply which will suffer losses. • . Even this might be tolerated in a situation where the adversely affected fields have more than the number of faculty to serve th eir functions. In view of the recent arguments against retrenchment in the University, one must be hard-pressed to maintain that this is. the situation existing here. An extremely bothersome side effect of "aggressive .. minority hiring is the potential for refueling racial and sexual prejudices. The "reverse discrimination" legal actions, which have attracted considerable attention , ma y b e symptomatic of much deeper problems. In recent yea rs, I have talked with se veral young people in competition for highly desirable placements who have . expressed deep resentment at the "unfa1r competition .. of minorities and females. Although my evidence for the existence of this problem is purely anecdotal. the phenomenon is well known in vario us contexts. In summary, the Faculty Senate . resolutign proposes the odious pracuce of judging persons on the basis of ~ace and sex without adequate justification of significant goals or consideration of negative consequences. The ·problem _of racial and sexual inequality is deservmg o~ more rational approaches. D Ca/!tln D. Ritchie Is a Department of Clleinlotry Faculty Senate representative.

Beatrice is a large com~ pany you may never have heard of. yet its products, such as Wesso n Oil, are very familiar. .. We're like Beatrice we've jlrovided all these services for all these years and nobody knows what we are," Hoffman said. Movies, an ambulance service. medical lab tests, concerts. group legal ser- vices. an employment service and a feature magazine are justa few of Sub-Board's offerings. Officially called SubBoard I, Inc., the "company" is a not-for-profit corporation ow~ and operated by lhe SIX student governments, HolTman explained. It reports to a board of directors apj)ointed by the student oo;ver·nn,erus. Services are provided for, and in \many cases, by. students. The executive committee is composed of Bill Hooley, treasurer, who is studying for a · master's degree in comparative literature; Bill Kachioff, lhe Undergraduate Student Association representative who is planning to study accounting, and Hoffman, a law student. While it works closely with SA and the Division of Student Affairs, SubBoard is not pan of those groups. ··we are an entity unto ourselves!"said Gabrielle Miskell, executive director. Sub-Board offers a wide range of services in five divisions, including health care. UUAB, publications and Squire / Amhem. But first and foremos t, it is the accounting and dispersing agent for UB's mandatory fee, Hoffman explai ned. Sub-Board's bookkeepin~ IS . constantly audited, Hoffman satd. Miskell added that the University has the prerogative to perform audits. Sub-Board has a budget of about $2.5 million, Hoffman said. About $340,000 comes from the mandatory student fee and the rest comes from fees for services and sale of tickets. · . The SUNY Board of Trustees dictates that the student fee be spent for education. culture, recreation~ and service, Hoffman said. That doesn\ leave out much but political activities. a physical on-campus through the administration's University Health Service~ they were inconvenienced by havi ng to go off<ampus for accompanying lab tests. So the Sub-Board Clinical Lab was set up. Since the lab works closely with the University Health Service, most students don't re alize they're separate ventures. Hoffman pointed out. The Clinical Lab doubles as a teaching lab and works closely with the Medical Technology Department , providing internships. The same sort of arrangement exists with the Sub-Board Ph armacy. Working closely with University Health Service, it provides medication for students. But it's also a cooperative venture with the School of Pharmacy and provides a teaching ven.ue. Other health care services include the· AntiRape Task Force. which provides an escort service andeducation;theS.U.R.E (Students United for Real Emergencies) hottine, which provides peer counseling and crisis intervention; a health insurance plan: the Sexuality Education Center, which operates a birth control clinic and provides counseling, and the Baird Point Volunteer Ambul ance Corps, Inc. Some of the most visible and well known S~:~Vices of Sub-Board are provided through UUA B. They include films. cultural and performing art programs coffeehouses with folk mu sic. and other ~ncerts. A so und service provides equipment rental and public address systems for groups who have speakers, Hoffman said. Under the Publications Division come Generation. a weekly feature magaz.ine; the Innovative Publications Board , and WRUB. The Innovative Publications Board provides grants for handbooks and other publications. It bas worked with Rachel Carson College in the past and has worked on an art and writing contest with SUB-BOARD Now in its 14th year, Sub-Board I,Inc. - and its funny name - got its start with the Faculty Student Association. When U B became a public universfty in 1962. the FSA took over certain functions including the bookstore, food services, and handling of student fee~. explained Edward W. Doty, vtce preSIdent for finance and management. n the mid to late '60s, students got . more control over student fees, he said. In addition, the economic danger of lawsuits for student newspapers increased because of the material they were printing. Those papers were funded through FSA. "Charles Balkin, who was controller tb'en. and I thought it would be good to create a student group with fiSCal status," Doty said. "And the students wanted it, so there was a meeting of the minds lhat wasn \ very common in those days." FSA had several sub-boards with different purp<>Sd. 'The first one handled I fees. ·ne name was carried forward because the functions were the same," Doty said, hence, Sub-Board I. "By and large it's a very effective and very good thing," he satd, "and I'm not just saying lhat because I'm one of the Like Beatrice, this student ·company' bnngs you more familiar •products' than you ever realized founders. "It's a st udent-run, student-managed corporation. Since it is a corporation~ if they're goin$ to do something illegal or silly,(.hey thtnk twice. The student directors would be held liable, not a group of University administrators. "It's another step in their educationbringing responsibility closer to privilege or authority. It's a very constructive part of their general education." The administration doesn\ plan to limit Sub-Board's power, he said . "If it's not broke, don\ fix it," Doty • stated simply. No other four-year school in the SUNY system gives its students as much - independence as UB students enjoy wi.th Sub-Board, he said. reasurer Hooley would extend that T statement to include most schools in the country. Three or_four years ago, he ·anended a conference in Cliicago as film prop:ammer fort he University Union ActivIties Board, better known as UUAB. UUAB is a division of Sub-Board that providesentertainmeDl and art programs. At the conference, Hoole)' found that the entertainment boards of most of the otlier schools had full-time people to oversee them. "They couldn \ fathom how we could be student-run- not only the film program or UUAB, but the whole corporation," he said .... We're unique in that sense because of the responsibilities we have." -"Sub-Board was a creative risk," added Miskell. "It's flourished. We've proven ourselves." Sub-Board tends to provide services that the metropolitan Buffalo community can\ provide, she explained. For instance. even though students co uld get Ckneration. WRUB 640 AM is the student radio station which, it is hoped , will be upgraded to FM, Hoffman said. Currently, lhe signal is not broadcast, but carried over electrical wires because of the scarcity of broadcast frequencies available, he said. he final division •. Squire / Amherst. provides a number of servtces. The Ticket Office acts as a vendor for CTO Festival Ticket Rack and Ticketron for on- and off-campus events. Like Sub-Board's other servtces. the Ticket Office is not intended to make a profit. The Record Outlet is a service that Sub-Board took over from SA. B~cause -of Sub-Board's business orientatton, tl was better able to handle the outlet, Hoffman said. . The Student Employment Office tnes to locate short-term or part-time jobs and internships for students. It works closely with lhe administration's Career Ptanning Offtee which is geared to more longterm positions. . . The House Council is the coordmaung body lhlll is =ponsible fo~ n~dent acuvity space. It advises the DtvtSton of St_udent Affairs how the space should be used and its advice is usually followed , Hoffman said . . - Group Legal Services is a _counseling agency that gives initial direcuon tn legal problems. Its lawyers do not represent a T �February 21, 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 student: but will tell a studeJlt whether he or she needs to obtain an attorn~. Group Legal Services usually handles matters such as tenant / landlord disagreements. Other services include Off-campus ousing, Browsing Library, Music Room and Draft Education Center. The University administratiOn and Sub-Board often work together on proiects: Usually the University pro vides hys ical serv1ces. Miskell said. For instance, gas and maintenance are rovided to the ambulance corps through ublic Safety. she said . Sub-Board proides cash. insurance, supplies and !Taining. The ambulance corps is an example of ;orne of the odd relationships that form Sub-Board and other group ambullan<ce <:on~s is legally not a part aseparateeotity, HoffThat's because the is one where the risk Sub-Board funds amtbula•ICC"colrns. th,en contracts with For other groups, Sub-Board is the dispersing agent. It does the accounting fort he student newspaper. the Spettrum, and the Schussmeister. ski club, Hooley explained . hile student s are involved in SubBoard to keep an eye on their JllOney, it 's a lso a good place to get expenence. "They're youn g peo ple entering a profession," Miskell said. "Sub-Board offe r. them hands· on experie nce. ·• "The students get involved with some fairly responsible kind s of programs," Hoffman said . "They come out with at least a handfu) of skills." A student wh o works as a counselor in the Sex Education Center will probably W become a better communicator. he pointed o ut. '."If you work in legal services, you get a better idea if you want to be a lawyer when you grow up." he added facetiously. "UUAB was my rude awakening - it '\aught me how unfriendly the entertain- - ment business can be - really vicious." Whenever possible. students are in charge and fill the jobs. Positions are volurlteer~ stipended . pan-time or full-time. Outside people ,are hi red if a license or a time c o mmitment are required . explained Miskell. the highest ranking full-time paid employee. For example, licenses are requ ired for pharmac ists. But stude nt s also work in the pha rm acy thro ugh intern ships in their academic department s. Members o f the ambulance co rps a re all state-certified emergency medical techn icians. yet they're all vol unteers. Hoffm an sa id . The Sex Educa tion Ce nter has a fulltime d irector a nd relies heavily on voluntee r.. While they don' need certification, the vo lumeers· intensive training rivals that of the ambul ance per.onnel. he said: ln U UAB. the only full-time paid employee is a secretary. The director is a student who -rece ives a stipend , Hooley explained . About 15 or 20 people on th e office staff receiVe a student stipend and about 200 are volunteers or receive an hourly wage. ecause it pools students' money, SubB Boa rd can provide services th at no one st ude nt could affo rd, Hoffma n said. For inst ance. no single student could alTo rd to buy a mbu lance service th at's on campus 24 ho urs a day. Undergraduates pay $89 in student fees . That $89 wouldn ' last a day in a lawye r's office, be pointed o ut. and there wouldn ' be any money left for other ser- "Movies, ambulance service, concerts, legal services, a clinical lab, a magazine and employment help are jll;St a few of them." .

Hoffma n said. Unl ike clubs, which could j ust dro p an activity for a year, Sub- Board operates on the presumption that most of 1ts prograins will be funded year after year, be said. "We have a responsibility to o ur fulltime staff and outside contractOrs, •• Hoffman said. "If one program badlY overspends its budget, it could bring down the other programs or the whole thing.:'. Sub- Board is always o pen to new ideas for progra ms, Hoffma Ma id . A co up le of possibilities are a research or survey department run in cooperation with the Department of Communicatio n and a health maintenance organizatio n or HMO. Hoffman would like to see more pel ple become·involved with Sub-Board. " What is important is that students real i7.e that there is a corporation they ha ve an owners hip inte rest in with enormous possi bilities, .. he said ...T hey can get volunteer experience or jobs.

Wharton before e jolnl hei 'Hng of lhe Senate end Assembly Committees on Higher Educ• llon held Febru• ry 12, 1985, on the subject of lhe report of lhe Independent Commission on the Future of Stale Unl•e,.lly. A t the outset, J want to ex press my deep appreciation fo r prompt consideration by yo ur committees of the rep ort of the Indepen dent Commission o n the Future of ahe Saaae Universiay. Such speed is unu sual, given th e extensive and dramatic changes in the structure of th e State Unive rsi ty "that the ·commission recommends. However, I sha re the view expressed by you and your co lleagues tha t conditions addressed by th e report warrant such prompt acti on. Th&-4.1. idesp read positive response that the recommenda tio ns have received from he mcdi~ and the public also is most encou ragmg. The fou r hearings you have scheduled will. I am sure. elici t many helpful views on both the genera l and s pecific directions .outlined in the repo rt and g reatly assist your efforts to devise an appropriate legislative respo nse. Th e Ind epen de nt Commission did an excellent job in the yea r that it conducted its st ud y. Whatever hap pens. we owe a large debl of gratil ude lo I he men and women who gave so unselfishly of their time and talents in behalf of New York's state university. But the Commission's work esse nt ially is done. It has delivered its report to me and to the Trus tees. and now it is our responsibility to present to th e Execu tive and Legislative Branches our best judgment on the import of the recommendation s and how we believe they might most effecti-.ly be imp lemented. The report is remarkably complete in its desc riptions of the priority problems and issues. and succinct in its prescriptions for cures. so I will not take time reiterating the contents or elaborating on them . T o get right 10 the core issue. we fully agree\\ ith th e Commi::,sion that it is imperati\e to the succc::,::,ful future of public higher education in New York that th ere be structural changes of the magnitude recommended. Thi::, i!, not onl y essential to the well being of the State Unher::,itv. it also is crucial to the future heahh and vitali ty of the S tate and its people. SU:-IY must be permined 10 be a more forceful catalyst and asset if New York 's economy, society and culture are 10 prosper. Whaacver I he final shape t~i s new structu re may take. it should not be a piecemeal o r half-hearted measure. The situ<t tion demands no le::,s than bold strokes if we are to truly prove the merits of our case and hasten th e day that the rewards will begin to flow. In saying that, however. I want to stress that l .am not ad\ocating throwing away the current State University and building an entirely new one. That would be foolish and wasteful and unnecessary. Make no mistake abou1 il SUNY is a fine in tltution and it has greatness wi th in its grasp. The Lcgi::,lature and the people of New .York ha ve every reason to be proud of their University. as th e Commission's report made clear. This year, SUNY will produce ias onemillionth living graduate: "' colleges boast excellent undergraduate educat ion: and selected research and g raduate programs meet the highc!)t academic standards. We must be doing ~6mcthing right , and I share the recent observation by Senalor LaValle and Assembly man Siegel that , in comparing S NY .with.t.he accomplishments of swte unl\crs111es decades o lder. the amazing thing is that the d ispari ty is as small as it is. But we can. we must. do better. In achievin g this. objectiVe. howeve r. we must also heed I he philosophy of .. If it ain't broke, d o n't fix it" as we look to the posiaive cha nges ahat can and sho uld be made. Mechanisms th at a re effective should be retained and not be alte red just for the sake of change. Wh at is required, then , is change that will permit us 10 achieve SUNY's full potential, a potential that is now locked away, and that will remain locked away, unless and until we can institute a new generation of institutional responsiveness. This is a big order. a nd it is the thrust of the ce ntral , most crucial recommendation of th e Commission's report. a report which found SUNY to be th c''mos t overregu lated university in the nation." S incc a basic change is recommended in the long-establi hed procedures by which the State nh"Crsity is managed and regulated. I would like first to say what I belie\'e s uch change does 110 t mean. • It does 110t mean that we or the Commission believe any person , office or agency with regula tory a ut hori ty over SUNY has exercised th a t authority capriciously or unfairly. Officials at all levels in S tate government have pride in the State University and want to see it succeed. The problem is thai lhe procedures. accumulated over man y years. and for man y reason s not a lways remotely associated with educatio n. often make that success impossible to achieve. • Recommended changes do twr mean diminution in the authorit y of the Executive and Legislative Bra nches to establish SUNY 's budgel. as I will ex plain in a few mom ents. • • The changes do nOI mean any dilution of accountability on the part of SUNY 's managers, or of its exposure to post-audit or o th er reaso nable measures of determining th at th e syste m is meeting its responsibilities. • They do nur mean any modifica tions in the classification status of SUNY employees or in our collecti\'e bargaining relations hips. • The changes do not mean any lesse ning in setting cd.u cational goah. either by the Gm ern or or the Lcgi!,(ature. • Nor docs change me an any alteration in the authority of the State Briard of Regen ts with res pec t to ~c u ing the policies and !,tandard s of educatio n. • The proposed changes do not mean a radical experiment in dc-rcE-ulation. but allowing the university. as the Neu· York Timt•s headline said , to "get in· step wi th · other !)tate:," cw York will be catching up. I offer th ese reass urance~ because major change always stirs uneasiness and raises question s as 10 whether the public's legitimme interests are fully protected. Needles!) fears s hould be put to re::,t. Let me turn no w to what the changes h·ould do . I sec two essential element~ that are contained in the Commi s ::, io n ·~ chief recommendation to restructure SUNY and to eli minat e unncce~sary or unduly restr ictive regulat ion. The first is to remove SUNY from i's current statuli as a State agency and to restructure it as a public corporation. The second i the concept of what is popularly known as " lump·s um budgeting ... Each is subject to wide interpretation and se rious. misunderstanding. and I would lik~ to s pend a few minutes explaining how q,ur. Trustee::, and I and the SUNY presidents whom I ha\'C con~ulted \iew these t\\0 elemenb. P U BLIC CO RP O RATION The co ncept. of the public benefit corporation Or authori ty has a long and so metimes checkered hi slory in New York S1a1e, and I ha ve nei ther !he knowledge nor ahe desi re to d we ll on that hi story o r to try to find an ap prop ri a ae model for SUNY among those al ready in exis tence. I a m sure the re is no such model because the un ique role and structu re of a university req uires an ent irely different framework for governance, operations and acco unt a• bilily. Ind eed , it was the o riginal establi shmen! of SUNY in 1948 as a S tale agency and the initial failure to recogni ze the unus ual features of a universi ty th at have led, over the years, to the unintended but nevertheless over-restrictive environment in which SUNY exisas today. The objecaive of form ing a public cor· poration 1s clear: to vest the Unive rsi ty's Board of·Trustces with responsibi lity and authori ty more closely approaching th at of well-established public uni versi ties in ot her sta tes - universities that have far sur passed SUNY's ability to be at its most producti ve as a force for State educational. cultural. and economic development. funds would be a ppro priaae d and expended . As does public benefi t co rporat io n or auth ority, the term .. lump-s um budgeting" often carries a negative co nnotation, as iflo imply a lack of conlrol or respo nsi bili ly ove r lhe use of lax doll a rs. The inference is th at one is give n a sac k of money to spend , and when the sack is empay il is relurned lo be refi lled . This completely distorts the true picture, but beca use there is often misu nderstanding, we prefe r another term to lump·sum budgeling. We believe lhal a more accurate descript io n would be "consolidated bud geting" o r .. consolidated appropriations.•• What this means is that the developmem and amoum of SUNY's annual appropriations wou ld be determined in essentiall y the sa me manner. and und er t he same rigo ro us crite ri a. liS is presentl y ahe si au aaion. Through a deaailed budgea submi sian . SUN Y and its campuses would be required. as now. to make their best case to the Governo r and the Legi~la­ ture in each year's budget cycle. TQe major difference would arise in the method of appropriation and expendi· 1ure of lhcse funds by SUNY and ils State-operated campuses. That is whe re ahc concept of consolidated bud geaing comes int o play. I want to make very clea r that we fully endorse the need to account for such expenditures. Where the problem arises is that the leve l of control over t he execution of spending objectives is so pervasi ve and restrictive that the Trustees and administrators are unable to effectively serve as planners and man agers. Consolidated budgeting wou ld permit the Trustees to receive a single ope rat ions budget and to allocate and reallocate the funds , withtn the amoum appropriated, and within general guidelines. It would ly reduce the response time required in me · g emergencies or in making purchases a econom ica lly advanwgcous times. and t wo uld permit greater flexibilit y in ecting unanti ci pated edu cational. csearc h and public se rvice 1s requires a degree o · ,e_m;;e;;;n<:l--t~,.,.- · tunities . xibi lit y 1ha1 SUNY docs no l now pos· s ss. ~ uch as the ability to recruit and A question might be asked as to what r a in to p faculty and administrative would happen s hould economic dcteriolea crship by se tting compensation: to ration in the State requi re a mid-year allo te and expend resources for maxi, adjustment in spending. circumstance~ mum t: ciency: to expand management that ~vc occurred in the past.

OTHER ISSUES In my testimony, I have focused thus far on the issue of management nexibility and the need to move the State University dramaticall y forward in its ability LO serve the need s of ew York State. This emphasis is directly related to the priority attention given to the issue by th.e Independent Commission in its report. We in SUNY share that concern and the sense of urgency. · However, I would like to point out that the reR,ort, in total, presented some 29 recommendations on subjects such as finance, enrollments, academic quality and research. These will receive careful study, and I will not attempt to discuss them in detail here. But because what I have been discussing relates almost entirely to the Stateoperated campuses, I would like to comment on the recommendations concerning community colleges. These 30 institutions , with more than 177.000 students, are an integral and important part of the State University system, and they should continue to be so under any new structure. The Commission spoke hi~hly of the performance of the commumty colleges and urged even stronger ti es between them and the State-operated campuses, a finding with which we fully concur. Two recommendations suggested the possibility of encouraging regional community colleges and establishing Stateoperated community colleges in areas with extremely limited tax bases. After preliminary discussions with Trustees and community college presidents, we cOnclude that these are interesting · options that might later be considered as circumstances warrant. As you know, we are now working out an alternative governance arrangement for Corning Community College, which could serve as a model for the futu re. A third recommendation, calling for clarification of responsibilities among county governments, community college governing boards and the colleges' leadership received strong support and war:rant s vigorous attention. CONCLUSIO N In co nclusion, let me say again how pleased we are at the attention you are giving th e Commission report and its recommendations and how encouraging il is to hear so many voices urging that changes be made to strengthen the State University. We do not ask for special concessions or untried solutions. What we ask for, and will propbse in the legislation we are now drafting, is the same o pportunity to create for New York State the kind of strong, supportive, effective public university that has done so much for other states. New York has too much to offer to willingly or needlessly sacrifice the tremendous competitive edge inherent in SUNY's potential. As Trustees and managers of the system and of the campuses, we ask for your confidence in our abilities to carry out the broad mandate given us by the State's leadership, and we stand ready to be judged on our errors as well as our accomplishments. Some years ago, the motto of the State University of ew York was "'Let each become all he is capable of being." It sUbsequently was changed to the current motto "To Learn - To Search - To Serve,~· as being more d~scri~tive of the brpad mission of the Umvers1ty.

Thank you. 0 future Good Teaching People will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth or a wig _ ... but how many will own up to bad teaching? EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is tho second 1,.. a series of articl es on teaching effectiveness which will appear periodically In tho Reporter In coopenJIIon with tho Faculty Senate CommlnH on Teaching Ettecflveness, headed by Prof. Claude Welch. By C HARL ES H. V. EBERT procedural point of view. Yet. it must be recognized th at certain elements of good teaching arc more ethereal and cannot be "learned" although they may evolve gradually as do maturity and wisdom. It is quite easy to point out so me basic truths that arc a prerequisite to quality teaching, and one of them is thorough preparation. This seems to be t6o redundant to mention; yet, it is amazing how quite a few ind ivid uals. so satisfied with their previously demonstrated knowledge, fai l to hone their intellect ua l blade, fail to ptepa re thoroughly for each class. and strid e into battle with a dulled sword! It may be appropriate, at thi s ve ry point. to stress that research and good teaching go hand in hand and shou ld not be artili· cially separated as two unrelated entities in academia. rank Moore Colby once said, "' Men will confess to treason, murder, arson , false teeth, or a wig. How man)\Dfthem will own up to a lack of humor?" Then, how many teachers will own up to bad teaching? It is difficult to assess the quality of good teaching, although it may be easier to identify bad teaching. One reason why teliching evaluation is so elusive is that it falls into two different , though· related, horough preparation does not only · components: contents and process. extend to the contents of the lecture The first one , contents, can be judged but should include, although obviously to rather easily, but difficulties arise with varyi ngd e~ rees, the preparation of visual process.

Just as the fluidity of speec h acts as a stimulant to the listener so does the ph ysical behavior and enthusiasm of the lecturer carry over to the students. The un inspiring spectacle of a tired-looking instructor. slumping at the lecte rn. easily sho rtens the attention span of a class. A controlled amount of pacing, supporting hand and body language will not only keep the lecturer alive but will stimulate the listeners and maintain their alertness. Yet, gesticulations can easi ly be overdone. Human wind mills tend to look funny! In the same vein. humor can be a great asset to a lecture, but hum or shou ld never be structured, or planned , but should evolve spontaneo usly within the material presented . Students shou ld laugh with you - not at you! he last aspects of gqod teaching to be mentioned here are more difficull to learn, if they can be learned at all. These aspects involve the personality, auitudes, and the human traitS of the mstructor. How can yo u train an instructor to genuinely like students, to enjoy teac hing, to share feelings, and to be sensitive to the moods and sentiments of the hundreds of young persons who <lepend on the total quality of the teaching effort? Moreover, these st udents are of different cultural background, of different age, of unequal intellectual ability, and of differ· en t emo tional fabric. What eve r you say, or do, will tosomedegreeaffect them. for better or for worse. Henry Brooks Adams put it in these words, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where hi s influence stops." Teaching, in the view of this educator, incorporates a range of qualities that can and must be learned by all who aim at good teaching. Yet, there are other, more tenu ous elements which must evolve over time and und er the watchful eye of selfscrutiny and with personal integrity. Above all, a good teacher must be (ully aware of the stupend ous responsibility he or she accepts when entering a classroom. It is here where we can make a mark on the future development of our students who will. in turn. leave their mark on our future civilization and on the pathwals of following-generations. o T �February 21 , 1985 141 ~IT Volume 16, No. 19 UBriefs 7 wrestlers qualify for national championship UB's wreslling team finished second to Brockpon Statr in the State University of New York Athlrt ic Conference (SU YAC) Championships at Alumni Arena last ....ttkend. but the Bulls qualified more: wrestlers. st\'t'n. for the NCAA Division Ill Championship Tournttme nt than any other 1eam. led b)' 177-pound titlist Tom Jobin. and Ed Michael was named the conferc:ntt Coach of the Year.

That's a cri t ical variable fha t the healt h profes- sions reall y haven't ~ d ressed, " advises Dr. David Pende rg~t-~ssociate professo r of physiology at U B. " People '11/ho chro nically exercise add life to years a n.d not yea rs to life," says Pende rgast. "There ·s no doubt that people who are tra ined physicall y live a more productive and less stressful life even if they don•t live longer:· · Pendergast says that th e ··has-been exerciser" often believes wholeheartedly th at he 's done his part in exercise beca use of the time an d energy he once invested .

Pendergast added, research shows that collegiate athletes wh o stop part icipatin g in s po rts whe n they"re 20-years o ld look no different when they're 35 than the individual who never participated in anything. That ad vice ends up httting home. Pendergast says. and the middle.ager (w ho is usually abou t 30 to 40 po und s overweigh t) begins to work ou t o n a reg ular bas is.

And if he misses a runa: ning sessio n. he can't deal with the guilt ~ho w much and what kind of exercismg s ho uld a n adult over 25 do on a regular basis? Pendergast believes th ree to four worko uts per week laSLi ng from 45 minutes to an hour are more than sufficient. "Anythi ng above and beyond that is just not cost-effective, " he ca ut ions. The exercise researcher is convinced that a con ti nu o us, aerobic-like activity is much more beneficial for the individual than we ight training. S ·•for the average person over 25," Pendergast says, .. weight lifting is irrelevant. Weightlifting is a very superficial t hing because you build musculature that yo u need~n(t• fo r weightlifting," he advises. "Yo don't need it for a nything else and it's so ething yo u have to wo r k very hard to mai t.ain and carry aro und like excess baggage. "'I'm not convinced at all that weightlifting is anything more th an amusing and a form of vanity." says Pendergast. "To maintain large. bul ky mu scles. a perso n mu st invest a lot of time and energy. If he doesn·l th e muscles will atrophy (shrink in si1e).'' For the person who insists on u ing weight .t raining as a means of co nditioning, Pendergast reco mmend a light weight with which you can do 12 to 20 repetitions comfortably (for a particular exe rcise) at a quick pace - one repctitioll after the o t her (with no pausing). He explains th e rat ionale behind this kind of training: "As you get older, your speed of muscle co ntractions (known as a fast twitch) deteriorates noticeably. The fast repetiti o ns help prevent this kind of dete rioratin g process from occurring and help tone the mUscle at the same time." On a rel ated matter, Pendergast is opposed to the u•age of steroids - a chemical sometimes used by weightlifters, body builders, and the like 10 stimulate the growth of muscle mass. Research. he points oui, indicates that steroid usage can ultimately lead to severe damage to the kidneys and liver. ..The pany lin-e on steroids i~ that. taken in safe quantities, they hiPVc absolutely no impact in t,>Uilding tnu ~cle m~ss. L Th e reality is that . takcn in un safe quantities. th ey do. in Pdct . st imulate muscle gro,.,h_-· said Pendergast. But " people who use steroids are playing wi t h a time bomb because they a rc trading immediate gains for long-time. disa~trous consequences.·· endergast advocates aerobic-like activities such as brisk walking, hiking, bicycling, running. and swimming for the ave rage perso n ove r 25. " AerObic activities are the best overall forms of conditioning for strengthening yo ur bean and your cardiovascular sys_tem . Weight lifling, on the o ther hand. just shapes a nd gives you very li u le cardiovascu lar wo rk , .. he notes. As is true in any other kind of endeavo r, Pendergast advises, the exerciser must ··know what his o r her limitations are. Overdoing it, whether in running or weight training, can lead ultimately to high blood pressu re. Moderation is the key:· Pendergast wan ts todispelthe old-time myth that if a "lillie is good , ~ lot is better .. in reference to exercisi ng. ·•That just isn't true when it comes to exercising ... it takes eight yc!ars to build an ~thlete, " hf said .

D �February 21, 1985 Volume 16, No. 19 ot too long ago near the Amherst Campus, a trained eye could spot red-tailed hawks swooping down with laser-like precision from telephone.lines to nab unsuspectjng mice scampering hrough fields beneath · them. Now, ho.wever, a fast food resta)irant o'ccuptes that tract of land , and that once common 'Sight is just a memory, laments Paul T. Schnell, a 25year-old fal;:oner who has studied birds of prey for over a dec11de. N ""The biggest threat to wildlife today is not the hunter, trapper, or sportsman," he contends, "but the uncontrolled growth of human population and the consequential decrease in habitation land for wildlife. " Schnell organized the Birds of Prey Exhibit at the Aquarium of Niagara Falls, and, until recently, demonstrated the ancient art of falconry there with "Thor,"" a red-tailed hawk. He is an assistant ani mal techn ician ar UB where he also studies environmental biology. Though kestrels, the smallest falcons in the U.S., and red-tails are the most prevalent of more than 50 native species of raptors (birds of prey), Schnell is concerned that if their habitation lands continue to be converted into parking lots and shopping malls, they may go the way of the black duck. a one-time common species of waterfowl whose salt marsh ho"!.e gn the New Jersey coastline was de_s.(f"OS1ed so condominiums could be developed. Evicted from their ~inter headquarters, the black ducks went back to their summer breeding grounds only to find themselve_s no match foF the more adaptable and aggressive mallards who bred with them, producing a sterile hybrid. Because of his concern for falcons, Schnell now maintains almost two dozen kestrel nesting boXes across a three township area in Niagara County. The boxes, funded by the Niagara County Federation of Conservation Clubs, serve as substitutes for older trees, now cut down. whose cavities previously housed the birds. "There is a great shortage of these microhabitats," Schnell observes, especially since older trees are the ones often felled for firewood. Luckily, he adds, the kestrels are adaptive to their surrogate homes, so "people can do something to help them." Other Jess adaptable birds, such as man.ins or bluebirds, face greater peril when their cavity-type homes are destroyed. are actually on the shy side when it comes to humans. They prefer to leave people alone. Perhaps, he submits, man projects his own predacious nature onto these other crtatures. Raptors and reptiles, chnell points out, provide a valuable service by keeping ·rodent populations down. The average red-tail eats three mice a day, he advises, and alsb an occasionaJ rabbit or pheasant. Kestrels eat large insects through the summer and fall and dine on sparrows during winter. Interestingly, there are ··rules of conduct " among birds of prey, Schnell reports. A pair of kestrels and a pair of red-tails, for instance, will occupy one> half mile square and one mile square, respectively, and will "defend their territory .. when intruders are detected . Even though kestrels are puny compared to the red-tails, they will "div~ · bomb" a red-tail should it encroach on their territory. The red-tail generally retreats when this happens since a 'Chase would be comparable to "a B-52 trying to chase down a fighter jet," Schnell relates. One way to appreciate these and other misunderstood creatures is to study them, Schnell insists. That is how he rid himself of a childhood fear of snakes. His incipient ophiopho bia was nothing that a few trips to the library bolstered by ... hands-on" experience couldn't cure, he reports. PartialJy for such educarional reasons, Schnell takes his boa constrictor and Mingo, his own hawk, on the road cind will do a "show and tell" of sorts for area 4-H clubs, Scout troops, and high school and college audi~ces. His repertoire of presentatigns includes such topics. as wildlife and conservation, hunting safety, trapping, forestry, and area flora and fauna, often highlighted by slide shows from his library of nearly 3,000 slides. An amateur photographer with a flair for capturing the understated beauty of wildlife, Schnell has had his photography published in Ducks Unlimired and local newspapers. He alSo writes a monthly conservation column for the Tonawanda News and, at age 16, published bis first article on New York's colorful wood duck in Conservation Mag~zine. Subsequently, he had articles published in the journal of the New York State Falconer's Association and The Prothonotary, a publication of the Buffalo Ornithological Society. his spring, Schnell will conclude a five-year study he started at SUNY's T Agricultural and Technical College at Morrisville, his alma mater. The study, also funded by the Federation of Conservation Clubs and administered by Cornell University, involves banding ringnecked pheasants given to 4-H members by state gaffie farms to determine mortal· ity rates for pheasants eight, ten, 12 and 14-weeks old and to shed more light on their nesting patterns. After the study is complete, Schnell will give the results to Niagara county and Cornell officials so mine if their pheasant is effective or if the by predators before by sportsmen. For little to do or trapping is necessary to man can continue to ..sustain a harvestable resource ... regardless of what the resource may be. He fears that too many peole are insensitive to the issue and may deplete the earth of its natural treasures without considering the consequences. "Natural resources are here for everyone to enjoy and use," he says, "but we have to be very careful about exploiting them to the loss or extinction of any particular one, be it mineral , wildlife, or Our air and water." 0 eptiles need auention, too, submits Schnell, who ·raised a pair of BurR mese pythons from 21 inches to II feetlong, chartmg their growth relative to th~ amount of food they consumed. Tlie snakes, unwitting participants in ·1 growth study, were double their normal size after the first year because of the feeding techniques he employed. Schnell thinks a bum rap has been laid on both raptors and reptiles. People usually perceive both to be dangerous and aggressive, he says, when, in truth, they By JOYCE BUCHNOWS KI �PUBLIC RA DIO FROM THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BUFFALO Allen Hall State Un iversity of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 142 14 (716) 831-2555 Non·Profit Org.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The· ~'firvey failed , however, to detect the great ti~~f.co nservatism which political pollsters re~rtedly found among college-age voters in last fall's Pre!\\,gential election. To the contrary, more students identified themselves as "far left" or "liberal" than said they were "conservative" or "far right." And higher petthan ever styled themselves as "middle of the road" an assessment borne Out by where the entering dents came down on the survey's so-called litmus-test issues (marijuana, abortion, etc.). On some the trend was to the right; on others, to the left. Among 182,370 freshmen at 345 colleges and universities who participated in the survey, 67.8 per cent (the most ever in the 19-year history of the sampling) said that "to be able to make more money" is a "very important" reason for attending college; 71 per cent said they "hope to be well off financially" whtle only 45 per cent attached importance to developing a philosophy of life. In 1970, at the height of "The Age of Aquarius," nearly 85 per cent of freshmen were in college to find meaning in life; a scant 40 per cent cared about being "well-off financially" in those days. Relative to 17 other percially"has sonal values, being "well-off finan- risen from ninth to second place among freshmen since 1970. "Becoming an authority in my field ," remains the No. I personal value. But then "authorities" are well known to be paid handsomely fo r their expertise. · A t UB (where freshmen tend to be more ethnically d iverse, from less well-off families, and more technically-oriented than those at comparable selective public universities), students have been reflecting higher levels of materialism than the norm for the past several years. But in 1984 the gap was closing. Among freshmen entering UB in the fa ll of 1984, 72 per cent identified being able "to make more money" as an important reason for college attendance; 79 per cent want to be " well-off financially ," and 46 per cent are concerned about developing a philosophy of life. Students at UB continue to be more liberal-to-left (26.6 per cent) than conservative-to-right ( 17.6 per cent) and so mewhat more liberal than in the nation as a whole where 22.1 percent of freshmen place themselves on the liberal-left edge of the political spectru m. A total of 2,642 incom ing U B freshmen participated in the UCLA-ACE survey which was administered during Summer Orient ation here by the Office of Insti tution al Studies (OIS). OIS director Jeffrey Dutto n, in announcing results of the survey this . week , provided co mpariso ns between UB freshmen and fres hm en both at Stony BrookBinghamton and at a wider peer group of highly-selective public institutions - in ..---::;;; �.· February 14, 1985 Volume 16, No. 18 Sample considering appointing athletic board By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS aying that he has been urged b~ many people, including faculty and alumni, to develop a plan to upgrade intercollegiate athletics at U B. President Steven B. Sample announced at last week's University Council meeting that he is ..giving serious thought". to appoin ting an athletics boa rd , wi thou t waiting for expected guidelines from the SUNY · Board of · Trustees. The formation of individual ca mpus athletics boards was proposed by 1he T rustees last October when the board made a controversial decision not to al low campuses to award scholarships to athletes and impose mandatory athletics .. fees on sfudents. At that time, Sample 'Said, the board anno~mced it would issue guidelines on the formation of campus ath e..tics boards .. wi thi n a few weeks ... No~g thauhe guidelines have yet to be rele ed, Sample a nnounced last Thursda that he plans to appoint a -' board that would provide three types of guidance: • The development of a five· or sixyea r p lan t hat wo uld suggest at what level (DtVISto n 1, II , or Ill) teams should play; what sports sh·ould be emphasized, and long-range funding proposals. • Pol k-y recommendations. He cited a need for revision and updating of University policies regarding intercollegiate athletics in the wake of the declaration S earlier this month that two basketball playe~ were ineligible to play, causing the forfeiture of games. This incident was "not the students'fault," Provost Wi lliam Greiner had told the Council earlier, but an "administrative error .. caused in large part because University rules foreligibil- · uy of athletes were created in the mid1970's and now must be administered by a proportionately smaller staff. Greiner said there is a need to simplify some of th e rules and procedures d ea lin g with transfer studen ts. • Guidance and recommendations in the formulation of each yea r's athletic budget. " I will try to structure the board based on what I think will be the directives of SUNY Central and in consonance with NCAA regulations and what 1 think should be the co nstituent groups," Sample said. The primary groups to be represented sho uld be faculty and students, he added, with the administration a smaller number, and alumni the smallest. Faculty and administratiou will constitute a majority of the boara . After asking for recommendations for members, Sample himself will make appointments to the board , which will report directly to him. "There should be a clear line of authority to the president in the area of intercollegiate athletics," Sample said, noting that the board will no1 involve itself with intramural or recreational sports. n other business, the Council passed a supporting the conclusions Iandresolution recommendations of the Independ ent Commission on t he Future of the State University, which called for more autonomy from state government for SUNY campuses. Sample and Af!irmative Action Director Malcolm Agostini reported on af!irmative action initiatives in recruiting fo r new vacancies. Sample said he is urging deans and department chairs to .. take advantage or· opport uniti es to recruit women and minorities and an nounced that additional funds will be provided to department s attempting to recruit members of protected groups. ··we wantto make competitive offers," he commented. A se ries of semi nars to explain how to .. aggressively recruit'' women and minorit ies, especially in areas in which they are not traditionally represented, will be given, he added. Agostini explained that he will work directly with the Provost"s of!ice on a -part-time basis for six mon ths to aid in developing affirmative action strategies. He is also work in~ with SUNY Central staff in a system-wtde recruitment effort. Sample presen ted a brief budget report to the Council, calling the Governor's proposed budget a "good news / bad news·· budget. The good news consists of 27 additional maintenance perso nnel to cover new buildings, a commitment to the North campus buildout, so me new engineering positions, an increase in operating funds, and no tuition or dormitory fee increases. The bad side is reflected in the fact that UB did not get as many new engineering positions as hoped for, or any new clinical faculty lines. A new budget policy has bee n added , in which money for new engineering equipment has been cut to $300,000, with any additional Slate funding to come in the form of matching funds to those raised by individual campuses from private sources. The repayments from the Research Foundation to the state for use of state facilities has also been increased dramatically. The worse piece of bad news, however, is a one per cent cut in every campus' budget for part-time and over-time employees. This cut could be very damaging to faculty in Millard Fillmore College, library staff, and snow removal staff. "We will work hard to get that reduction restored," Sample said. He also reviewed the delay in beginning the semester due to the Blizzard of 1985. " We could have opened on Wednesday of that week ," he explained, " but Mayor Grif!in asked me personally not to open the University as long as the travel ban was on. We try to cooperate with local authorities in situation like that. ·· 0 Reagan's science advisor speaks at research session r . George A . Keyworth , science advisor to Presiden t Reagan and director of the Of!ice of Science and Technology. and William Donohue, president of the newly-formed Western New York Economic Development Corporat ion, were the main speakers at an Industry/ University Cooperative Research Conference held recently at UB·s Center for Tomorrow. Sponsored by the Calspan-UB Research Center (CUBRC), the one-<lay session also included panels and workshops attended by local economic development, research and develo pment and industry leaders, and UB research faculty. Following President Steven Sample's opening comments affirnling UB's commitment to the local economy, Ke yworth delivered an address on the role of science and technology in maintaining the competitivene!'S of American industry. "We have only recently emerged from a period of painful but healthy introspection, during which we realized how directly our economy is linked to the health of technology-intensive industries, and how dangerous it was to take our industrial strengths for gra nted ." said D Keyworth. ··compared to many of our foreign competitors," he advised. "American industries operate at a competitive disadva ntage in many ways." These disadvantages include higher labor costs reflecting a higher standard of living, a strong dollar showing little si~n of weakening, and · higher costs of capatal to finance industrial expansion. On the positive side, stressed Keyworth, are technology and "highly skilled technical talent, factors that should give the U.S. the competitive edge if the research and development being paid for by the govern ment - roughly $55 billion per y"ear - is redirected to serve industry needs. According to Keyworth , the presen t administ ration has established five domestic policies that reflect this shift in focus . .. First, government must su pport the generation of knowledge:· sa td Keyworth. As examples he cited attempts to bridge the gaps between the biological sdences and the agricultural research community and between universities overall and the Department of Defense. Resarding the latter Keyworth said, "We beheve that both the universit ies and national security will be served by restorat ion of the bonds" that existed in the 1950s and 1960s, when "Defense was supporting much of the best university basic researc h and was responsible for the strength of so me of our major research universities. " Large increases in fu nd s for basic researc h and innovative schemes like the Presidential Young Investigator program are aspects of the government's commitment to its seco nd policy - helping create an environment for attracting and retaining high quality faculty , said Keywo rth. ther policies, according to Keyworth , include funding basic research that addresses the most urgent needs of industry; !inding better ways to stimulate the flow of ideas, expertise and people bet ween government research laboratories, universities and industry, and being more respon sive to emerging technological opportunities. "The same government programs that made possible the birth of today·s biotechnology industry, "argued Keyworth, "are eitherfailing to recognize its broad potential or choosing to ignore what they should be doing to help its develo pment. ... We're not yet 0 doing a good enou~hjob of making sure we have a strong scaence and engineering base to su pport this emerging industry." Keyworth summa.ized his remarks by saying that industry should identify pressing problems, the academic community should marshall its considerable resources to tackle those problems, and government should act as a passive facilitator of the entire process. During his luncheon address, Donohue, recently appointed to his position by Governor Cuomo, said that Western New York needs momentum to carry through with its plans for economic recovery. To gather momentum, he noted, the region needs a system for fostering new business; ways to att ract basic research funds to centers like CUBRC: mythologies and images that promote Buffalo as a high-tech area, and ··r.rstclass" features such as a Divisio n I football team that will add "color and emotion f.o the community.. and create financial support for the university. Bot h Keyworth and Donohue received commemorative plaques from Sample and Dr. Charles E. Treanor, director of CUBRC and chief scientist with Calspan, where the CUBRC facility is currently housed . 0 Senate urges Legislature to make SUNY a public benefit corporation ·he Faculty Senate Tuesday passed a resolution urging th State Legislature to mak e SUNY a public bene!it corpora-· tion as soon as possible. No one was opposed. . Givi ng SU Y that staTus was a recommendation of the recent Chancellor's commission report. Faculty Senate Chairman Dennis Malone and Chairman-<Oiect Claude Welch discussed the issue with other SUNY local governance leaders last week. " " My impression is that there seems to be an actual opportunity to impact on the structure right now," Malone said . He em phasized that il would be done only if state lawmakers are convinced of lhe importance. Malone urged faculty senators to discuss the iss ue with their constituents. He said he will write a letter to all of the voting faculty urging them to T - - - o- -· - - - - write to their state senators and representatives. Malone said he has the names and addresses of all of the Jegis l ato~ in the state. "It would be done only if state lawmakers are convinced of the importance" A publi~ hearing on the issue will be held at I I a.m. Friday, March 1, in Grover Cleveland Hall; Buffalo Stare College. Those wishing to speak at the hearing can get the necessary forms fro!Jl' Malone. UB Presiden t Steven Sample. when questioned on Governor Mario Cuol!J.o's slow action on the issue. said that he is actually gratified that the governor is not hostile to the proposi ti on of making SUNY a public bene!it corpo rati on. "Given the long tradition of the $late the heavy, heavy central control and layers of pre-approval - I wou ld not have expected the governor to co me ou t qutckly for it. no matter who was gOver'nor," he said . hat will the University be like if it "' become~ a public benefit corpo ration? One se nat or wanted to know. In his opinion. Sample said. SIJNY should try to be an amalgam of the ~ Y' ­ tems around it. without :1ping 1hem. ..

The University would ben plncc whcr·c decisions, cspcciu ll y -on hnw mnncy is W spent, is decided more at the campus and departmental levels, he said. But he couldn't be more speci!ic. " Maybe the answer is unclear because there has never been a board that's been responsi ble for the development of the Umversity." Sample said. No one - not the trustees, Division of Budget, governor, or legislature - has that responsibil· ity now. he said . Malone noted that there are about 100 public benefit corporations in the state, each structured in ''different flavors ... The struct ure of each is de!ined by the specific law that sets up each one. A broad dc!in ition calls them corporate entities created by special act of t he State Legislature for the purpose of performing :1 particular function in the public intere>t.

The first course will be offered this fall. Students interested in applying should see their DUE advisors well before the • deadline, said Dr. Robert Cerveny, asso'\iate professor of management informal! n systems and cha\rman of the lnstitut on Com puter and Computing Appli!ions._ The i titute is the group charged with developin the University-wide minor. At least initially, a formal a pplication procedure will be required to get into the computing minor, Cerveny said. The institute is looking for student s who will have eno ugh time to complete the minor and who probably won't drop out. Second-semester freshmen are targeted .

Cerveny said the institute is concentrating on de ve loping th e first-year courses now. If the dem and is there, the program will be expanded. he number of stud en ts allowed to take the minor is limited by the amount of equipment available. More equipment will be added for the new minor. said Dr. Hinrich Martens, direc- T tor of Compu ting Services, but if more than 200 students want to sign up, some will have to wait unt il spring. Computing Servjces is planning two more teaching labs for the fall , he said. UB already has three. Each lab will have 24 microcomputers, which will be IBM PC's. Martens said he is not sure where the labs will be located. Some teaching will probably be d one from terminals connected to the VAX or IBM computers, he said . A new VAX , which is a medium-size co mputer. is being purchased. By 1986, the University should also have a new main-frame computer to re place its current CYBER, Martens said. Cerveny said the new computing minor has received acceptance and backing from the various segments of UB. "The University is really willing to do this properly," he said. "It's giving all the support we could possibly need ." The institute will have to meet the constant changes of the computing field , whether it 's new hardware or the fact that more and more students receive training in grade schools and high sc hools. "It's an evolu tionary concept. " Cerveny noted. "Even if we get the program perfec~ for o ne point in time, it's constantly evolving." The prog ram ma y even attract tudents to UB, he said . " It will enhance the quality of educa. ti on and the reputation of th e Univer0 sit y,'' he ventured . seeks suspects in sexual abuse incidents niversity Public Safety investigators are searching for suspects in two unrelated sexual . abuse incidents that occurred on two UB campuses during the past week . The most recent incident occ urred Friday, Feb. 9. on the Mai n Street Campus when a man grabbed a 2 1-year-o ld female stud ent at about 4:30 p.m. on th e th ird n oor of Diefendorf Hall.

Administrative support comes through Marilou Healey, assistant vice provost. Office space will probably be located in the Music Department. The faculty involved are all on loan from their departments, Cerveny said. A number of faculty members have voiced interest in volunteering for the program, he said. They come fro m the diverse areas of music, psychology, biology, geography, computing. lea rning and instruction, counseling a d educational psychology, philosophy, art , sociology, and anthropology. Four secti o ns of the first course will be offered in the fall. They will be taught by instructors from art, geography, biology, and mathematics. The instructors will receive trai ning this su mmer so th ere is consistency in the material cove red, Cerveny said. About 50 ,stud ents will be allowed in each section, Cerveny said.

On view at Bet hun e Gallery, 2917 Mai n St. near Hertel, the Cxhibit is a collection of never-beforeseen studio photographs titled "Still-Life: Hollywood Tableaux Photographs." The star~studded collection has a speciaJ appeal, however - the photographs were compiled by a film star in th e true Ameri· can traditi on , actress Diane Keaton, along with photo critic and curator Marvin Heiferman. In additi on to representing a look at the off-stage in terests of one of Hollywood's current greats, the exhibit also offers a fascinating look at the aesthetic roots of contemporary pho· tography and gives a glimpse into a slice of Atfierican culture. . In the heyday of the movie industry, before TV and videota pes, movies were thought to have only one life. "Our pro· duct spoils like fresh fruit; you get no second chance,·· said one publicist. Elaborate publicity campaigns were undertaken, therefore, with each film being heralded by advertising, promotional novelt ies, gossip a nd always, lots and lots of pictures. Stars had special sessions with a studio-appointed portraitist, trained to capture and market a world of dreams and glamour. Huge quantities of transparencies were shipped around the world and movie stills fi lled the pages of fan maga· zines, newspapers• rotogravure sections,, and such publications as Ufe. Esquire and Vogue. In these publicity deluges, the still pho· togra pher played perhaps the most important part. Assigned to a particular production for the course of the filming, the still photographer was a hard· work ing and unappreciated soul. h was his responsibillty to rush in at the end of a •'take" to capture the act ion of the scene before the actors had time to relax_ Said one observer: "The place of the still photographer has been and still is that of a poor relation. No one wants him, includmg the directo~. electricians, players, makeup people and set dressers, whose relaxed moments between the nervous strain of 'ta.kes' must be interrupted to minister to his wants. He is easy to pick out on any set: He is the tim id soul on the extreme edge of the crowd who rushes busily after a shot is completed, only to meet the withering glances of the director and retire again in co nfusion to his hiding." With increased frequency after World A nother task force on WBFO is not need ed ; the reports of two previous task forces provide enough information to give the radio station direction, President Steven Sample told a recent meeting of the Faculty Senate Executive Co mmittee. The next ste p is to appoint an advisory board for the station, he indicated. " We ought to get an adviso ry board in place that's reflective of the academic commun ity, ... he said. The two task forces were formed after public cont roversy arose about ope rations of the FM station. An external evalua tion team with members from outside UB was es tablis hed by Harry J ackson. He is director of public affairs, the department in which the station is located . A se parate ad hoc committee on WBFO was set up by the Fac ult y Senate . The committee's chairman, Michael Frisch of History, noted th at the two task forces ca me to similar conclusions, wh ich surprised so me people. Both task forces had recommended that still another task force be appointed. But Sample com pared.lhat recommendation to the farmer who kept pulling his corn up to check the roots. then wonde red why it didn't grow. There is enough informat ion in the two existing reports to indicate the general direction the stat ion should t ake, Sample said . Wa r II , color transparencies. in ad d ition to black and wh ite photographs, were shot during filming. The stars' mythical glamour was marketed; not only through movie stills, but also through photos of "stars being just plain folks " in a n effo rt to heighten their appeal by narrowing the di st inction between the public and private lives of screen idols. thousands of these pro motional shots were taken for each film, A hhough only a few of them were ever seen by the public. The rest, rejected by the studio or stars granted picture a pproval in their contracts, were destroyed or stored away to be fo rgotte n. Heiferman and Keaton have resurrected so me of these pictures from the storage rooms of Hollywood studios, picture magazines and private collections and compiled a book titled Still Ufe(N.Y. Callaway Editions, 1983). The Hollywood Still-Life exhibit has been organized in conjunction ·with the publication of this book and has been show n in nationall y prominent museums and galleries, including the Instit ute of Co ntemporary Art in Philadelphia and the Whitney Museum in ew York Ci ty. Andy Grundbe rg, photography critic for the New York Times. observes that "Stiii-Life""manifests all the earmarks of con tem porary art photography. Besides their gestural stilted ness and obvious fabricatio n, but unlike most of today's photography, the pictures are often unintentiona lly hil ari ous." And hilarious they often are with fami lia r stars like Paul Newman, Jane Russell, and Ronald Reagan in often bizarrely posed and very contrived enviro nments. These stills re mind one strangely of a taxidermist's diorama in a natural history museu m. There is somet hing unnatural abo ut the scenes. The artificiality that goes unnoticed in movies is brought out all too clearly in the stills. Heife rm an, however, points to the appeal of these obviously dated pictures. Discussing the task of sort ing thro ugh tho usands and thousands of slides, he says: "Sifting through these pictorial remnants is like trying to reconstrl}Ct a culture from the shards of its artifacts and the associations th ey provoke. The overview from this waste heap of visuals is a lopsided history of American life, defined by images of trysts, ceremonies, fears , fights , love, kisses and death. It 's like a checklist of life's exaggerated mile· stones."' In conjunction with the exhibition, Heiferm an will give a gallery talk <ln Tuesd ay, February 19, at 3 p.m. in Bet hune Galle ry.

Yetttts also supposed to be a full, professional public rado o station. Balancing academia and listenership seems to be the problem. If the station ts just an academic window on th e Unive rsi ty, nobody listens, Sample said . But if it concentrates on listenership only, it no longer carries out its missio n to the University and loses its identity. When the task forces were set up , the fi rst question that had to be answered was whether the re sho uld be a radio stat ion at all Sample said. aAs I've said before. we're not in the dormitory, library or radio business: we're in the business of teaching," the president stated. ·'Are we getting the maxtmum bang per buck?"

LAPIANA hile the School of Management was packing up and making the three-mile journey north to Amherst, another, younger group of students was settling in on a n increasingly quiet Main Street Campus. And although parking remains at a premi um on the olde r campus, these new residents are worrying more about where to put their Big Wheels than where to park their Buicks. After years of planning a nd preparation , the UB Child Care Ce nter has opened its playpens, toyboxes, and classrooms to the offspring of University community members. Despite a bliuarddelayed start, the Center is, accordi ng to Dennis Black, assistant dean of Student • Affairs, "off to a successful start." arents have been th rilled wit h the er so far," ad ded Peg Griffith. Cenector. "The word-of-mouth from th"me involved in the program paren has be xtremely positive ... The path of the Cen ter from conceptions to fruition has not been smooth. For almost a decade, administrators fough t wit h stud ent leaders over the idea, while student leaders fought with other st uden t leaders over funding, th e scope of potential services, and ultimate control. Finally, a coordi nated effort, initiated a nd spearheaded by J im Long, a UB student, and eventually taken over by Black a nd Acting Personnel Director Clifford Wilson sec ured the necessary funding W ~. :E Parents ha .. been thrilled with the Cftnter so tar: servlcer olfered match those at more expensive and eliminated administrative obstacles. The Child Care Cente r is, Black noted, a project sponso red and maintained by faculty, st ud ents, and staff members, all of whtch are represented on its board of directors. Like the Faculty Student Association (FSA), the quasi-governmental litc/1/tles. organization which oversees Food Service and other related Unive rsi ty .functions, the Center is a not-for-profit "business" designed for use by all segments of the UB community. Original funding was s upplied , Black exp lained, through grants from SUNY and various campus bargaining units as well as through individual donations. The Center is located in Annex A, one of the original temporary "t in houses'" set-up on the Main Street Campus in the 1960s to house a quickly expanding University population. " We have spen t over $100,000 to renova te the inside of the building," Black said. Currently, the Center is handling about 65 pre-kindergarten children, but, Black notes, the rolls are expected to increase to 90 by fall. "Right now we have openiogs in the three- to four-yea r-old class,·· he said, adding that next semester the Center plans to expand its day-time, pre-school offe rings while adding a ge neral evening program for children under 12 ... We've even been looking into more expensive because infant care cos ts so much more," Black Said. ··At present, weekly rat es ho ve r around $40, comparable to rates at other ·quality' centers available off-campus." Even at th e "discount rates" offered by the Center, Black ackn owledged that some students may still believe the Center is too expensive. Currently, he said, directors are .. lobbying" various student governments to get them to consider subsidizing studen t child ·care fees through financial aid and scholarships. summer school day care,·· ex plained Black , who serves on the Cen ter's board . " It would be a camp-type operation." To ensure efficiency and stabi lity, the directors have shunned subsidies from the State, the University, and the various student governments. Instead , the Center is expetted to generate its own selfsupporting income through a fee to be-assessed on the basis"of parental income and a child's age. "Younger childre n are oth Black and Griffith stress, howB ever, that services offered at the UB Center match those at more well known and• expensive area child care centers: "Right now we have an excellen t staff of five full-time professionals, none of whom has anything less than a master's degree, and eight part-time assistants." "The staff is outstanding," Griffith ec hoed. "All of them have come from various ce nters, where some were even the directors. " We ex poet to be of higher quality due to our location on the Universi ty's campus," Griffith went on . "In addi tion to cari ng for children of University members, we hope to become a training center for area child care professionals and a resource for academic departments." We "differ from many care facilities primarily because we a re basically a convenience, "she said·. "We have to allow for a va riety of unexpected circumstances." For example, Griffith noted. rather th an instituting rigid scheduling for child enrollment, the Center's staff uses "'variable scheduling," allowing ·faculty and students with work or school commi tments at awkwa rd hours still to take advantage of the Genter's services. Even thouj:h most of the campus' populat ion stud1es and works at Aml)erst, Black said that the Main Street location was a conscious choice, not one fort;ted upon the directors by Amherst space considerations. "We choose Main Street to get a building of our own, since sharing a facility with another depart ment would make a poor teaching/ learning environment," Black said . "The location has qualities that Amhe rst could not offer such as ample window space, easy·access, parking, and nearby heahh services." Renecting the community it services, the Center's population is diverse, with a number of toddlers from a variety of nation s. whose parents either work or study at U Band whose home language is · not English. "Our programs have to be changed to accommodate the number of children wh o do not speak English ." Griffith said. "For them the adjustmen t (to child care) is a little more difficult." To assist the international toddlers. Griffith said language development exercises are geared to various levels of English mastery. "The children's attitudes towa rd one another are marvelous," she said . "They are experiencing people of all national backgrounds." ews of the Center's early success has travelled quickly, jllack said. Already queries have come from the nearby VA Hospital and the University Heights Community Cen ter concerning opening enrollment to those with out an official University co nnection. "This Ce nter was established for the UB co mmun ity," Black emphasized. "We would not co nsider opening it up to outsiders until the need for it on campus is first sati sfied."

Astin, director of the national survey, ""is consistent with changes in students' career plans. The percentage of freshmen aspiring to careers in busi ness reached a recor:d high in the current survey: 22.2 per cent compared to 20.4 per cent last year and only 11.6 percent in the 1966 survey." At UB, just 14 perl:enl of freshmen are attracted to busi ness, but 28.4 per cent list engineering - another lucrative field - as their proba ble professiona l choice. Nationally, only 10 per cent of freshmen project careers in engineering; at Stony Brook-Binghamton, II per cent of frosh want to be engineers while at our peer public institutions, the figure is 14.8 per cent. This is not to say that high-pay, non-arts fields don't predominate also at our sister SUNY centers. Just the focus is di(ferent; at those units, 16.9 per cent of freshmen intend to be physilii~s! In terms of intended majors (as differentiated from career interests), 29 per cent of UB freshmen respondents elected engineering; 16.3 per cent, Health Sciences; 14.4 per ce nt, Manage men t; and 13.3 per cent, Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Social Sciences majors were selectod by 9.5 per cent of the 1984 UB frosh; Architecture, by 4.8 per·cent; and Arts and Letters fields by 4.1 per cent. Ariother 8.5 per cent were undecided about a concentration. Forty-two per cent of all freshmen men have engineering as i n intended major; and, at the other extreme, only 2.8 per cent of men want an Arts and Letters field. Management claims the largest number of freshmen women ( 16.35 per cent) and Architecture, the fewest (2.8 per cent). Almost 10 percent of women listed engineering as their intended major. UCLA ·s Astin said the increasing materialism of students proves th ey're ··no different from the rest of the public.·· Polls fQIIowing last fall's Presidential election revealed that voters had chosen Candidates on .. pocketbook issues," he said. Yet. he sees the trend as posing a challenge for liberal arts faculties: .. Are we going to recognize this and do so mething about it, or just pander to the students' career interests?" More than one campus across America is wrestling with this concern. At U B, recruitment efforts for the 1984 class put T major emphasis on clrts . and sciences fields, but the percentage of freshmen electing arts and sciences majors actually declined - from 31.8 per ce nt in 1983to 26.9 per cent in 1984. At the same time, though , 72.5 per cent of the incoming freshmen judged that UB is equally stiong, if not stronger, in liberal arts and sciences t han in the professionalvocational fields which they c hose. Apparently, one admi nistrator said, The trends pose a challenge for liberal arts faculties: "Are we going to recognize this and do something about it, or are we just going to pander to students' career interests?" "We got our message across, but the students aren' interested."The pool of New York State high school graduates interested in arts and sciences careers is rapidly diminishing. he 1984 UBclassconti nued to be well above national norms in terms of high school grades, but didn 't maintai n anywhere near the grade averages reported by Stony Brook-Binghamton freshmen. Only about 33 per cent of the UB group identified themselves as A st udents, compa red to 52.5 per cent of the freshmen en tering the ot her two SUNY centers and about 40 per cent of those entering selective public universities as a whole. S imilarly, only 56.2 percent ofUB freshmen were in the top 20 per cent of t heir graduating classes while approximately 75 per cent of those at Stony Brook-Binghamton were in that select ci rcle (and 66.8 per cent of freshmen at the peer group set of institutions). Admittedly, the 1984 UBclass is not as good academically as its recent predecessors, according to Lawrence Kojaku, assistant vice president for university serivces, but the class was also somewhat larger than recent entering groups for a variety of reasons (including enrollment shortfalls in several other areas of the University). Kojaku expects much highe r academic quality for 1985 entrants, he said, based on the credentials of fresh men being se nt admission offers this week. 1984 is definitely just a "blip, " Kojaku said. The quality level for next fall 's entrants should be more like that achieved in 1982 and 1983, he noted. National results for 1984 show a general decline in high school averages reported by freshmen - !. dip which experts feel won 't be stabilized . UCLA 's Astin assesses that ..grade inflation that occurred in the public schools during most of the 1970s has ended and may even be start ing to reverse itself. " The perce ntage of freshmen reporting A averages from high school dropped slightly, for the fourth year, while the percentage reporting C averages rose to 21.8 per cent from 17.6percentin 1978. At UB,just4.2 per cent of freshmen reported averages below B(only .5 percent at Stony BrookBinghamton did so). T T oday's students are highly selective in thear a ttatudes on social issues the suryey found. While being more co~ser­ vatlve on matters of taxes, crime and drug use, they are more liberal than ever ~n matt~rs of equality for women, school mtegrallon, and stud ents' right s. UB freshmen generally reOect the same trends. Nearly two-thirds of th is years college ~reshmen ?eliev~ "the federal government IS not domg enough to promote di sarmament.~· As a corol~a'1'•. the percentage who beheve that m1htary spend ing should be increased" dropped to its lowest point since that question has been asked. At UB, 71 percent of thcfri"hmen beheve more should be don e about disarmament and only 27 per cent feel military spending should be increased. These trends appear to suggest that most students reject the Reagan th eon that progress in disarmam ent can be ~ch ieved through a stronger defense. Other survey resu lts show a strong mix1ure of attitud es. On the libera l side. support for busing as a means of aGhiev_.. ing racial balance in the schools reached an . all-time high of 53.6 per cent nalt onally (50.4 per cent here). Similarl1. student supp ort for a national health cail· plan "to cover everybody's medical cm b ·· also reached a zenith of 61.4 per ce nt (61.1 per cen t here). At th e sam e time support for the notion that "the activitic., of married women are best &o nfined to the home and family"reached an all-ti m< low of '{nly 22.4 per ce nt (22 per ce nt here).

Support for abolishing the death penalty dropped to 26.0 per cent nationally (27.2 per cent here), down from a high of57.8 per cent in 1971. The majority of freshmen still support higher taxes for the wealthy (69. 7 per cent nationally and 74.9 per cent here) and champion energy conservation and control of environmental pollution. However, support for such governmental activities is at or near its lowest point in the 19-year history of the survey. [See chan on this page for more data on political auitudes.] The fall 1984 survey also revealed a mixed picture with respCct to computers. While the data show continuing dramatic increases in percentages of freshmen who can program computers (50 per cent nationally and 67 per cent among UB freshmen), student interest in computer careers declined. Only 5.2 per cent of UB frosh, for example. want to pursue computer technologyt "Apparently," concludes the UCLA report on the findings, .. as students develop more first-hand knowledge of computer technology, it loses some of its appeal as a primary career field ." he current classoffreshmen filled out more college applications than any previous class. Nearly two-thirds of freshmen nationally applied to more than one college. Nearly one in six applied to four or more colleges. The largest number of multiple applications occurred among students enrolling at the most selective private colleges and universities, with 57 percent applying to four or more co Ueges. "These trends," the UCLA analysis suggests, " may renect increasing anxiety· among students and parents about gaining adm issio n to the •best 'college or university" - yet another T sign of creepihg materialism . UB had higher percentages of freshmen applying only here or to one other institution than did Stony BrookBinghamton - 11.6 per cent of our frosh applied only here, and 16 per cent to only one other institution. At the other two SUNY units, only 5 per cent applied solely to the camp us where they enrolled; just8.8 percent applied to only one other. At the other end of the con tinuum, over 20 per cent of Stony Brook-Bingham!lln frosh applied to more than 6 instituti ons, compared to 11.8 per cent of UB frosh and just 4.4 per cent of freshmen nationall y. UB ts increasing its percentage of freshmen who apply only here, accordi ng to preliminary readings of 1985 applications. We were the first choice of only 59.6 percent of 1984 freshmen. however. While the Stony BrookBinghamton first choice percentages are relatively he same, the norm for selective public universities generally is slightly more than 7JJ per cent. his ye3r's freshman survey provides evidence of declining participation rates in governmental financial aid programs. The percentage of freshmen rectiving Pell Grants was 19.8 per cent nationally, down from a high of 31.5 per cent in 1980. Participation in the SEOG and College Wo rk-Stud y programs also fell, as did participation in state aid programs. Among all government aid programs, only the Federal Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) registered any gain in 1984, up to 23.4 per cen t from 21.8 per cent in fall 1983 (but still below the peak participati on of26.3 per cent in 198 1). By contrast., this yea r's freshmen appear to be relying more on savi ngs, summer jobs, and part-ti me employment while a tt end- T ing college. T hirty-eight per cent of UB freshmen . for example, expect to get a job to pay college expenses - just about equal to the national norm - but four percentage points higher than at Stony BrookBinghamton. Approximately 75 per cent of our entering class expect to receive some financial aid from parents. a nd about 26 percent plan to dip into savings. Some 20 per cent receive Pell Grants; 4.2 per cent. SEOGs; 36 per ce nt, a state scholarship or grant: and 5.5 per cent, a college work -study stipend. Almost 30 percent of UB frosh have a Federal Guaranteed Student Loan: 7.2 per cent, an NDSL; 5. 1 pe r cent, another type of college loan. and 3.4 per cent. another type of loan. Thirty per cent express .. no concern" about financing college. Nationally. inco me levels of the students' parents continued to show the effects of innation. The perce ntage of families earning $40,000 or more per year increased from 26.9to 29.9 between 1983 and 1984. Over half of the freshmen in the nation come from families with incomes over $25,000. About one-third of UB fres hmen come from families with incomes over $40,000. but st ude nts at our peer public institutions are wealthier (46.4 per ce nt come from fajllilies with incomes over S40,000). About 40 per cent of Stony Brook-Binghamton freshmen report family incomes of more than $40.000. Correspondingly, 36 per cent of U B freshmen come fro m families where the father has not auended college: a high er perce ntage than at either Stony BrookBingha mt on or the selective public institution peer group. A ma rkedly higher percentage of UB frosh also co me from blue collar homes (2 1 per cent) than is true in the two companson groups. he 1984 UB freshman survey reT spo ndents was 86.4 per cen t white. 6.4 percent Black, and 4.9 percent Asian- 86.4 NA 81 .9 74.1 27.0 27.2 81.1 63.7 55.9 22.0 54.5 60.3 92.8 74.9 32.0 50.4 43.610.0 75.1 13.7 17.8 21.5 35.0 64.4 62.8 58.3 21 .8 52.1 61 .1 962 76.7 47.1 46.1 41 .2 , 1.3 77.5 1;!.1 19.0 '33.0 95.0 83.11 NA NA 77.2 2.0 24.9 59.8 12.1 1.3 24.1 55.1 11.5 1.1 u 2.5 81.1 73.8 26.1 25.3 60.4 52.9 56.8 21.4 48.4 52.7 92.5 74.0 28.1 48.3 47.3 8.0 75.2 11.9 17.9 27.0 94.0 85.7 74.5 28.1 27.8 65.8 74.1 562 25.9 59.6 642 90.6 79.5 37.5 50.5 41 .2 16.6 70.5 21.9 21.6 40.3 90.8 82.1 76.3 29.1 26.0 64.3 74.5 56.7 20.9 63.7 72.7 92.6 70.7 36.2 512 40.8 12.2 71.3 16.3 15.3 30.0 93.4 7.8 76.9 9.6 63.0 12.1 81.3 2.9 22.7 57.5 15.6 1.3 22 25.9 52.7 18.3 0.9 2.0 24.1 56.6 16.5 0.9 ... 80.2 75.6 24.9 28.4 55.4 65.8 58.2 182 49.0 52.1 94.5 67.4 , 27 2 49.2 35.6 10.7 74.7 13.5 16.7 29.9 94.0 . 6.4 74.6 1.8 24.1 52.3 20.6 12 American. Stony-Brook and Binghamton had higher percentages of Asia nAmericans (9.2) and fewer whites (82.3). Over half the UB freshmen res ponding are Catholic (53.0 per cent). Nationally, Catholics account for just39.3 percent of all freshmen; at Stony Brook-Binghamton, 42.5 per cent. Jewish students make up 11.6percentofthe UBfreshmanclass (compared to 3.1 per cent nationally and 26.8 per cent at Stony BrookBinghamton). Approximately 45 per cent of o ur freshmen come from Western New York, 12.6 percent from New York City. 18.2 per cent from suburban New York, 21.7 from the rest of New York State, and 2.9 per cent from outside New York. Almost half (48.6 per cent) come from more than 100 miles away; 16.7 per cent from more than 500 miles away. Sixty-five per cent of students entering here picked this University for its "good academic reputation." That's a full 10 points higher than the national norm but less than among freshmen at Stony Brook-Binghamt on where 76.6 per cent cited academic reputation . Approximately 4J per cent of UB freshmen reported that low cost was important to their choice co mpared to only 20.0 per cent of freshmen nationally and 36.6 per cent vf those at Stony Brack . Some 47 per cent noted they came to UB because graduates get good jobs. but only 28 per cent chose us because graduates go to top grad schools. Forty-one per cent picked Stony Brook- Binghamton beca use of their perceived grad sc ho ol connections. UB's size was "attractive"' to 16.5 per cent of freshmen. was co nsidered to have .. so me advantages" by 32.6 per cent. and was of .. no importance"to 11.5 percent. Twelve per cent find the instituti on "overw helmingly huge" and 27.4 percent are of th e opi ni on that its large saz.e •·can have so me disadvantages ... Almost lS per ce nt agree that priva te schools are better than public institutions (but only 10 per cent feel the difference in qua lity is worth the difference in price). Ninety perce nt of thl! entering class assessed UB's recruitment publications and co rresponde nce to be as good as o r beuer th a n those produced by other cdlleges and un ~ve rsi tie s. Finally. this mat erialistic, upwa rdly stri ving crop of freshmen both here and nationally is easi ly wearied. Over 90 per cent of th em report having been bored in class during their last year in high sc hool; 70 per cent hadn 't completed homework on time. a nd one third missed appointments because they overslept. 0 �· February 14, 1985 Volume 16, No. 18 Center. 8 a.m. WRESTLING" • SUNVAC Championships.

Sponsored by the Departmenl of Theatre and Dance, the show will continue at 10:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, through Feb. 23. The student troupe does mostly sa tire, said David G.

I lry not to get too bogged down on social happenings or fads. J"d be happy if just one person in the audience said, "Oh, I remember when I used to do that.'·· Some people may view that as an unsettling lack of social conscience. But what the performance lacks a's a morality play, it makes up in laughs. he material is slightly irreverent, but TOnenot abrasive or offensive. in novative ski t is a cross between Rosemary s Baby and the Dick Van Dyke Show. Another skit presents scenes of American fi lms being shown in China, wit h outrageous accompanying dialogue. Still another ski I is set at a procrastinators' meeting, a situation that is old hat in comedy. But Oral Hyjinx is a ble to avoid the cliche cind bring something inn ovative to the stage. Even the lroupe's name is oddball. It was chosen two years ago when members were searching for a name that would reflect its style, Robinson explain d. No, it has nothing to d o with lhe dental school. • '"When we put this togelher.

'"Somelimes we make a Jist of things people would be interested in; things like, maybe, Trivial Pursuit. Then we expand on those ideas. Some1imes they turn out totally different. ... We do a lot of improvs - improvisational work - a nd build out of that." There are a bou t I 5 skelches in I he show. including one that in volves audience participation. The actors stpp in the middle of a sentence and ask the audience to suggest a word . "The aud ience, in effect , builds the scene," Robinsoo said. At fi rst, everyone in the audience is reluctant to say anyth ing, Robinson noted , but by the end of I he ro ut ine, th e whole audience is shouting out. "'The audience loves it," he said . .. It makes it personal. I like the atmosphere to be very personal; I want them to feel comfortable and glad they're here. "This is the perfect spot for it," he added, glanci ng around the cozy Cabaret of the Center Theatre. "It's a perfect spot timewise, too , performing after the Zodi~ aque Dance Co mpany.

In April, he's scheduled to perform a one-man show at the Cabaret that will feature characters he has created. ··some are dramalic, but lhey":ill have comic touches," he said.

He was at the John so n Spacecraft Ce nt er in Ho uston , January 18-20. to examine current models of the planned permanently manned s pace station. residen t Reagan, in his 1984 State of th e Unio n address, made the permanent manned space stat ion the cornerstone of his com mercial space policy. The President •(lain called for the space station in thas year's S ta te of the Union address, citir:.g its long-term research benefits to human kind. P .. M y task," said Cohen ... is to examine the enviro nm ental design variables that deal with space, behavior. personal comfort , layout. all those thi ngs that make the human being happy. I'll also look at the relation ships among humans a nd . also, between equipment and hum ans." He added th at the unchanging e nviro nment. weightl essness, lack of sou nd . and the need to recycle the urine and feces for growing food in "a completely sealed environment," are only a few of the problems likel y to be enco untered . Cohen explained that NASA has long had its own grou p of space station consult an ts. but recently deemed it necessa ry to get a n ou tside po int of vie w o n a variety of considera ti o ns. Hence the decision of the ational Research Counci l. National Associatio n of Science, to engage the varied teams for their views on physiological and psychological issues. Co hen ex plained ' that he retofore NASA has paid lillie heed to the tremendou s psychological considerations of long-term space travel by individuals who will be. for the most part, civilians. On this sco re , Cohen said. <ASA could take a cue from the Soviet Union , which has long paid ane nt ion to the psychological well-being of its cosmonauts. permitting s uch items as homewo rk help to ea rth-bou nd offspring and other measures designed to mitigate the isolati on inheren t in thi s setting. By A N WHITC HER arold L. Cohen, U B professor of des ign studies and a desig ner ' with extensive training in behavioral psychol· ogy, is one of eight scie ntists advising NASA on space biology, medicine, and psychology ,as they would be affected by life on a space station. Additional panels of consu ltants are advising AS~ on: general strategies. cardiovascular and pulmonary function. gravitropism, developmental biology, metabolism and endocrinology, senso rimotor skills, and bone and mineral metabolism. Co hen is the only designer in the field of 47 scientists from such leading institutions as the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Mt. Sinai Medical School, the Labora· tory of Sensory Motor Resea rch of the National Institu tes of Health , Cornell Medical College, the University of Chi· cago, MIT, Brandeis, t~ e University of Nonh Carolina, The J ohns Hopki ns The iso lation of the space sta tion can be compared to that of sailors at sea for long periods of time , co·hen added . Moreover, the sense of losing the cheris hed mementos of one's past·, so often seen in elderly persons who give up their personal possessio ns to enter a nursing ho me , could easily occ ur in the space stati on, he said . ohen has had much experience recording human behavior over long periods of time; he believes this enhances h·is NASA cons uhancy. In the late 1960s, for example, he directed an experi mental fehabilitatron program at the National Training School of Boys in Washington , D.C. The ex perimen t involved a total, 24-ho ur living and learning environ ment in which initial motivation was provided v!a paymerlts of money for co rrect answers and other academic achievement. Gradually, o ther reinforcements were added, and the immediate payments we re deferred until - the schedule of payment s-reinforcements matched conditions in the out~ide world . Cohen ali.o C developed a method for recording and evaluating the behavior in th at yo uth priso n. In 197 1, the experiment was published , wi th James Filipczak, in book form (A New Learning En vironment), and featuring a foreword by Co hen's perso na l friend. the late R. Buckminster Fuller. and a preface by B. F. Skinner. While he was executi\e d irector of the Instit ut e for Behavioral Researc h. Inc.. in Silver Sp~ing. Maryland , Co hen "did the first major experi ment for envi ronmental con tro l of the hum a n o rganism s ponso red by NASA , in which a yo ung man wen t vo luntari ly into a space where we monitored him for long periods of time in iso lation." And he was associate professor at th e Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. While there. he developed a behavioral clinic for teen-age drug ab use rs. In preparing for his Ho uston trip , Cohen read both U.S. and Soviet reports on various space missions, includ ing those which discuss previous ly unreponed incidents of disorientation, nausea. and the like. Co hen wou ld like to apply so me of his newfound space knowledge to life o n earth . The space station's need to re-cycle hum an wastes cou ld conceiva bl y lead to li be ration fro m plumbing and sewage lines. he believes. .. In terms of human waste disposal," he con tin ued , " we haven't made any progress since the Roma ns, who devel oped the method of flushing wastes wit h water. " He added: " I'd like to make it possible for human beings to move wherever they wish, without having to be tied to plumbing and sewage lines." That is, the necessary techn o logy co uld eventuall y be discovered through space stati on resea rch . he space station is cu rrently perceived as an o rbital base fo r commercial activity, scie ntific resea rch. and th e servicing and repair of unmanned platfo rm s and satellites. The station could also be used for military purposes. NASA has stated that "the national securit y co mmunity" co uld use the facility "should such uses be identified . ''"The station will provide living and workingquaners for a six-to-eig ht-person crew, which will be rotated every three to six months," the New York Times reported last June. S pace stat ion sojou rns, however, could eve ntu ally be as lo ng as .. three to five years,." said Co hen. T The space station would likely involve a numbet of profit-making enterprises, as the whole commercial dimension of space travel and ex ploratio n becomes more pronounced. Already on the horizon is the cheape r, more effective, in-space manufacture of drugs, indust rial materials. high-strength metals and plastics, new a ll ~s. etc. After a period of some doubt, most scte ntists have now warmed to the scientific worth of the space station, the total cost of which could be $12 billion in 1985 dollars, reponed Science maga1ine in September.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The report also warns that waste and inefficiency in the use of educational tax dollars will persist unless major changes occur, the Chancellor explained. The following quotation was among those singled out by Dr. Wharton to underline the need for immediate action: ''The state can decide that New York is not going to get a public university of high quality. Or it can change the rules." He also observed that the Commission carefully avoided ide~tifying any "villains" as the cause of SUNY's arrested development in a managerial environ- ment with so many checks and balances "that true accountability has often been difficult to ascertain.·· T he change in structure, the Chancellor predicted, would make it easier to identify more accurately those individuals who are administratively accountable. This is in present contrast to not knowing who is responsible, .. because so many people are dealing with an issue that we don~ know who did it." Dr. Wharton also discussed the recommendation. "'about which there is considerable confusion and lack of understanding,·· that state funds for SUNY should be provided in a "lump sum" to the Central Administration. That body, in tum. would then be free to distribute money in a similar fashion to each campus unit. "A 'lump sum ' allocation is not just an automatic gift of dollars, "the Chancellor explained. Always involved is justification. including a "need analysis." as to why the operational funds are necessary. The new public benefit corporation formal also clearly retains the policy prerogatives of the governor and th e legislature in defining the amount oft ax monies to be made available for SUNY's educational purposes, Dr. Wharton added. It would also grant lhe Trustees the necesc sary authority and responsibility for allocatmg funds to carry out these purposes. · This would satisfy the requirement for greater nexibility in moving and reallocating resources to meet unanticipated changes, the Chancellor said, "eliminating the need to go through 15 appeals to do something that was already approved." The Commission also recommends that the University Centers at Buffalo and Stony Brook should be built up as comprehensive research centers to improve the quality of research and graduate education ... As the Commission looked at the totality of the system," Dr. Wharton said, .. there was concern over the national image of SUNY's competence in graduate areas ... While acknowledging the "reality of differences" between other institutions and such comprehensive units as Stony Brook and Buffalo, the Chancellor reassured campus representatives that he would not, and does not, su bscribe to a "two tier sy$tem." . He pledged that resources would not be taken from other SUNY units to support graduate / ~earch ce nters. This would be " inappropriate," especially since "the system is already underfunded as a whole." He dismissed " major resource shifts," as .. not desirable or feasible. " · In fact , the Chancellor pointed out , the Commission did not - .. as might have been expected" - recommend any campus closings as part of the splution. Such changes were not considered "in light of political and access issues." They recognized, instead, New York's " willingness to maintain dispersed units" on a statewide basis. or the Chancellor, it is not "busi ness as usual," and he is devoting 90 per cent of his time, he said, to take advantage of this ·•window of apport unity" that could result in significant future changes for SUNY. It is "very rare historically" when one has a chance to make a fund a- F at the Feb. 2 business session were the following: • that the University Faculty Senate requests that the Board of Trustees adopt the following policy: To express ns unconditional rejection of the policy of apartheid in South Africa, State UniverSity of New York shall no longer invest in companies doing busi ness in South Africa. • that the State University Senate urges the Chancellor to request a substantial increase in fellowshipS for doctoral stude nts ("from about $600,000 to well over $1 million1 so that the fellowships finally become comparable in value and in number to those given to graduate st ud ents by peer institutions. •that the University Faculty Senate requests the Chancellor to urge College Councils to include local governance leaders in the formal deliberations of Presidential Search Committees. • that the University Faculty Senate requests the Senate President to communicate to local campus governance leaders the Senate's recommendation that local search comminees should discuss the questions of campus governance and bylaws with prospective presidential candidates Juring the search process; that the Senate strongly endorrts the Chancellor's intention to include the topic of governance in the orientation of new presidents and requests that a representative of the University Faculty Senate be included in the discussion of this topic: that the University Faculty Senate urges the Chancellor, in concert with the University faculty, to institute a procedure for the timely resolution of campus bylaws in those cases where a new campus president and the local faculty senate have been unable to agree on rhose portions of existing campus faculty bylaws involving consultation , between the faculty and the president within one year: and , that at all tim es during a period of disagreement between the campus president and local faculty senate o er those portions of existing campus faculty bylaws involving consultation , the remaining articles of the local bylaws remain in effect. D mental impact, he concluded. Dr. Wharton is seeking to insure that the report receives wide review and co~­ ment from internal and external constituencies including campus councils, fac ult y, students, and alumni. He has already asked individual unit pres1dents to involve and utilize campus governance machinery to obtain faculty input and comment, ··as soon as possible." The Chancellor also commended the Commission for its .. unprecedeJ?-ted" action in not disbanding itself officially. All of the members have indicated their willingness to remain available for COf!tinued discussions. They expect to momtor the implementation ofthe report, and review the extent of progress made during the coming year. .. They want to see something happen," Dr. Wharton said . The Commission was headed by Ralph P. Davidson, chairman of Time, Inc .• and Harold L. Enarson, president emeritus of Ohio State University. n informal meeting with four members of the SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman Donald M. Blinken, Vice Chairman Judith Moyers. Ms. Nan Johnson, and Ms. Judy Duken - concluded the first day's session at the weekend SUNY Senate gathering. The trustees uniformly expressed th eir satisfaction over the sta tewad e coverage and support given the report by the news media, and each promised to continue working for the implementation of the findings. Chairman Blinken also emphasized "the importan~ of keeping the issue alive," because "there will be a tendency for the recommendations to slide if something does not happen this year." In response to a questio n about potential reactions to the report from the private education sector, Blinken said. "What is good for higher education in the state is good for all of us. We are not in a threatening mode, but considering a priority that New York has not addressed. ·· Included among the resolutions passed A Libraries to introduce automated circulation n mid February. the B libraries will introduce an automated circulation system which officials vo w will '"tak e the drudgery o ut of borrowing materials." The system. run by a GEAC minicomputer. will allow students. faculty. and staff to take out books without spending time filling out loan cards. lnstea(i . a library employee holding a laser-driven light pen will merely sca n a barcode label on the inside back cover of each item and on student and fac ult y/ staff ID cards. The hassle-free transaction can be completed in a few seconds. explains Steve Roberts, assistant director for systems at the University Libraries. The sys tem. already used by institutions such as Yale. Princeton. Rochester, Michigan, and the SmithsQ.Dian. has other appealing features. Roberts advises. For one thing, 1t can automatically put a book on hold or recall one. and n produces correspondence slips that, when mailed, ask a borrower to return an item o.r. tell a prospective one that his or her desired item is ready for pick-up. The system also can generate a list of on-hold books for library staff. Moreover. library personnel need only glance at computer monitors to find if a patron is ineligible to borrow books because of loss of student or faculty / staff status, or unpaid fines . The syst~m will even indicate the amount of the dehnquent fines. Beca use library staff will no longer have to spend countless hours manually sh ufning through reams of cards to track down a book. Robert says. energies can now be redirected to other work, such tion. In other words, when libra ry staff scan an I D, only basic information about the borrower is given. Selected staff have access to additional informauon. but even th en Roberts assures that .. nothing listed as confide ntial" by an employee on his or her personnel file. such as an unlisted phone number. was entered in the data base. The Libraries have already purchased software (or production of an on-line catalog that will give a run-down ~f library boldings to those usi ng public access terminals located in various umts. The on-line catalog, which should be ready within the· next year or so, wtll essentially replace the Libraries' card catalog. Once the public access terminals are installed, getting information on library materials will be as simple as typmg _a title, author or subject. The computer Will then instantaneously bring up information on all copies the Librarie~ own of a ~ - given title, give their locau~:m, note ~ whether they are in or not, and tf not, tell ~ when they are expected to be returned .

' as geuing the stacks in better shape and enhancing the data base. So far. approximately 900.000 out of a possible 1.1 to 1.2 million bibliogr~phic records have been incorporated into the data base. This represents most of the Health Sciences, Science and Engineering, and UGL collections and the most heavily used materials in Lockwood and the Law Library. Personnel last week sent out new I D cards to faculty and staff that contain a barcode for library use. Students have barcodes on their IDs. All tha! ~-\mains is forth~ user_to be "linked'" into the systetn - Wh1ch Will be done by library staff the first time the card is used . Currently, 5.000 students have already been linked. Until all patrons and items have been lin~ed , Robert s asks that patrons be a bit pat tent because the check-out time will be slower. The new system, Roberts notes. also allows for differential access to informa- "Eventually we hope to have ports available so people can access the catalog through terminals in their offices or homes;· Roberts said. . . "The days of actually having to v1sll a library to investigate a topic o~ to see 1f a particular book is available w1ll soon b~ over," according to a recent L~branes information sheet. .. By dialing mto th e Libraries' data base, you. will be able to conduct a specific item search or a general subject search: you will be able t? locate the items you need and find out 1f they are presently available."..

The anthropology major received a most unusual gift on her binhday in ovember- ~he was notified b) Music Television (MTV) Network> that ~he had \\On the grand pri7c in their latest promotion. a customized hot rod once dr\ven by Paul McCartney. The 1955 Ford; driven by the ex- Beatie in his recent movie ...

The vehicle sports a black fini~h with hand-painted names on the outside and palm tree scenes in the interior. It also features two phones and a computer, all props from McCartnefs movie. Smith was delighted with the prospect of owning a car that McCanney drove. Although just a baby when the Beatles stormed America in the ''Liverpool Invasion," she collected their albums. made Be a ties scrapbooks, and was a member of a Paul McCartney fan club. ~·1 had seen ;Give My Regard s to Broadstreet' twice and was planning to see it again the weekend of my birthday." recalls Smith. The surprise was twice as potent, then, when MTV called, told Smith that she was the contest's grand prize winner. and added an official MTV UHappy Birthday.;; After the excitement came a period of waiting. ··1 had to fill out the necessary papers, 11 says Smith ~ )IMTV received them on a Monday and said that rd get the car the following Thursday - it was su ll in New York City being modified with pollution controls.

"There are some scratches and the radio is missing it might have been stolen when the car was being modified. MTV says it will repair the damage but I'm not sure what will happen with N Smith with her 1955 Fotrl - It hes • telephone, too. car was not ready and the presentation would have to be postponed ; I) The prize was finally delivered just before Christmas vacation. "I was relieved to finally get the car," says Smith. who took delivery at her home in Kenmore. "There wasn't really a formal presentation. A mechanic drove it up from New York. An official from MTV was there with a photographer. There it."' Although Smith posed for pictures in the car. she hasn't actually driven it and is not sure she ever will. "I'd love to drive the car," says Smith. ;;but I don 't think 111 be able to afford insurance and this isn't a car that's really meant to be driven .

Smith intends to keep the car for a while , storing it at least through the win- tcr. and then plans to sell it. ;)It depends on what offers I get; she explained. "I wish J could keep it but I really can't take ca re of a car like that . It 11 need attention." While she doesn't pldn to get collision insurance in order to drive, mith does "ant to insure the car agamst damage while in storage.

This has become another of the all-toopractical complications which have made her view her grand prize as a mixed blessing. Meanwhile. until Smith decides what to do. the car is in storage. '"I really want to see it but I can't keep going back and forth to visit it." says Smith.

But U B personnel arc optimistic. Proposals include a SO per cent cut in the Tno Program as well a!tan inc1case in the amount of time taken to build the :,pace s.tation. '"'hich could affect re!tearch money. While concerned about propo:,ed cuts in Trio, he's not warned. said Roben L. Palmer, associate provost for special program~. Every year since the beginning of the Reagan administration, cutbacks have been proposed but were; fought off by Congres . •·1 try not to get in too much of a panic over the things I hear because of the history of this administration," said Palmer, who is also executive director of Trio. ··congress has not only mai~ed _it, but has made modest increaod:" hi!-srud. "rve been here since 1975 and I can) recall a year there hasn't been some rumbling about cuts. I'm concerned, but there is such broad bipartisan support the administration can't get the cuts W through~~~ One year, it was suggested that the program be abolished, but it survived, he said. Last year, a 25 per cent cut was suggested, but Congress instead gave the program a five per cent increase. The budget now under review is for 1986-87. In past years. parent groups and school system!t have conducted letter writing campaigns demonstrating the grass roots support f1>r the program; Palmer said. For 1984-85, UB has about $350,000 for the Trio Program which includes Upward Bound , Talent Search and Special Sen ices. All three are aimed at lowincome. fir:,t-generation college students. Palmer sa1d. Cuts in Talent Search and Upward Bound especially would have a devastating effect on the Buffalo areal Palmer said. Talent Search. which tries to interest high school students in attending college, serves about 1.200 students and places about 300 students in college each year; he said. Upward Bound works on development of skills uch as writing, math; and reading to help students complete high school and go to college. That serves about 110 students. Special Services is designed to retain students at UB and gives special instruction, advisement, and cultural enrichment. It serves about 375. hen it comes to proposed cuts with the space station, Palmer's attitude is echoed by Daniel Inman, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. "I'm very optimistic," Inman said. "I don't anticipate problems, but there W could be problems. II While stretching the time for building the ~pace station wouldn't take away grants resea rchers already have. it could make money harder to get because the pot of money available would be smaller; he explained . ot only would Univer!tity researchers be competing for less money, but companics. would have less work to do and in turn would have less money to spend on research grants. he said. Since most gran ts are renewable yearly or every few years. researchers arc always taking the chance that the grant might not be renewed, Inman said. " If you do rc!tcarch on ·:,oft' money rather than state money. you play that game all the time." he: pointed out. The propo:,cd cut assoc1ated with the space stat1on "has great potential to impact on our operation In a negati\'C way." he said ... But we survived other things and we'll s.un·ivc thi!t. too." 0 To Your Benefit Question: As a Stele employee, Is II necessary to contact the University regarding changes In my persona/life?

She decided to take an intensive language seminar through the Uni·1ersity of Texas, El Paso. during May and June.

The only limiting factor in this pilot plan was that all personnel and purchasing regulifions imposed through the State's Civil Sen·ice. General Services. and Audit & Control divisions would remain in effect. If th is is, indeed, the legislation the Governor has in mind to reintroduce, it w~mld serve as a sort of halfway step toward the total autonomv the Commission's report recommends: The Commission would have all of SUNY receive a lump sum budget to be spent as it sees fit , but a~ a public bqtefit corporation. its officers could presumably spe nd that money with fewer restrictions. he Governor also introduced and the legislature backed last year another pilot effon to provide a degree of purchasing flexibility to SUNY. Under this program, any unit of SUNY may purchase sup plies, equipment, and printing anP consulting servu::es up to a limit of $10.000 wi thout the restrictions of central T bidding requirements and purchasing limits, if a~ an educational insti tution it is able to secu re a better price for a given commodity than is available through regu lar state channels. Obviously, additional paperwork is entailed in proving that such a price break can be effected. In his budget message for 1985-86 develo ped prior to the release of the Commission report - the Governor takes credit for assisting SUNY "in rapidly responding to emerging technological, economic and academic advances" by affording its mana~ers "opportunities to administer the1r programs · with a high degree of flexibility." He pointed to the 1984-85 purchasing flexibility program as an exa mple of that effort. Although still in the pilot pha~e . the Governor said ... this purchasing flex,ibility program appears to have benefitted individual campuses in terms of both lower prices and indirect savings from reductions in paperwork. This program is recommended for continuation in 198586, and for expansion to include purchase of motor vehacles. Should the early indications of success be borne out overtiml", consideration will be given 10 permanent edactment of the program .~ In the current budget message the Governor also points to management tern, shut off from the outer world. ..They don't have consumer goods and services.

She had hidden addresses and a message from her Russian · friends in a · money bag hooked onto her bra. At the border. Russian inspectors began taking the passengers, one at a time, into compartments where both their luggage and their persons were checked. Goldstein took the money bag off her bra and put it in her bag. hoping no o ne would question what looked like sanitary napkins. Just as her name was called, the compartment doors were thrown open and the inspection was over. Half the passe ngers had been inspected: she was in the other half.

Although his broader lump sum program was rejected last year, Cuomo noted. a number of small SUNY-wide appropriations are available which SUNY can direct wherever the funds are most needed. As examples of these. he pointed to lump sum appropriations for building repairs, equi pment replacement, and studen t computing access. In the coming year he is recommending similar authority for distribution of funds to augment engineering programs and for implementation of SU Y computi ng upgrade programs. uomo cited still anoiher area in which he is championing SU Y discretionary action: .. Additional flexibility in reallocation of faculty and support resources will become available in 1985-86 as the retirement incentive program establi!,ed by Cba(1ter 665 of the Laws of 1985 is implemented," he noted. "Completely self-funded through savings generated by replacement of highly paid senior faculty with more modestly salaried teaching staff, this program will result in a pool of some 620 positions available for distribution to the campuses. Through careful distribution of these positions, the University should be able to bolster academic C 'This was very free of that," she said of her recent experience. There was more emphasis on the love of the Russian language and culture shared by the teacher exchange participants and their Russian instructors. "There were good collegial feelings and friendliness." said Kiedrowski "sad feelings all around when it was time to go. "Family feelings had developed between us ," she said. "You could tell they had gotten kind of close to us." While in Moscow. Kiedrowski met Russians who were friends of her A~er­ ican friends. They would visit irv\he Ru ssians' homes and enjoy food and hours of conversation. joking. and singing. They grew quite clo~e. which is not unusual , she said. Forming immediate, strong friendships is typical of Slavic peoples. With her Polish heritage, she is quite comfonable with it. "For a lot of students. that"s what impresses them most. what they miss most and what they go back for - those very close friendships they develop with people, .. she said. "When you take tours with official meetings. you don't have the chance to get the whole impression of what it"s like." She realizes that her experiences. too. have been limited. She has met with just one seg ment of the population. And even two months didn't give her a complete picture of Moscow, much less all of Russia. er gaze was distant and she stopped talking for a moment. H" I miss it. "she said. rousing herself.

When she went to Russia as a student. she was apolitical and interested only in literature. But people would constantly a~k her about the United States. focusing her attention on why she chose to live here.

SU:-.lY officials have been contending for years that they have been unable to compete v. ith similar public institutions in attracting t~e best administrators. This program wtll cost the state nothing, Cuomo said, and .. will result in levels of compensation that more closely reflect national salary trends for public un·iversity executives.·· The Governor also commented in his budget message that "further flexibility" has been achieved through handling of Income Funds Reim bursable (IFRs) although here again the freedom is ~O! as great as th e Independent C_ommassaon thinks it should be.

An even more difficult task is to try to get a complete picture of a large. com- ' plex country such as the U.S.S. R. UB faculty and staff who have visited there recently have returned wit~ impressions that are often surprisingly different from each other. Their backgrounds, expectations, contacts, and purposes see m to have colored their vtewpoints. Their proficiency in the language or the l~ck thereof is another important fac'tor that affected their opinions. While they realize their visits were limited, five recent visitors to Russia have agreed to share some of their expe riences with our readers. he way th e society handles informati on is one thing that impressed Irving Massey during his May trip to Russia. · The professor of English and comparative literature spent II days in Moscow and Leningrad as part of his sabbatical. He tried to do some research on the English poet Shelley, but was denied access by a number of libraries in both cities not only to any manuscripts there might have been, but to the manuscript cata logs as well. "It seems to be a society that centers on control of information," he said , speculating on why his request was refu sed . "No distinction is mad e between political and other kinds of information." He found he'd have to go to the top for the most trivial request. ••The bureaucratic control , over everything was astonishing, ... he said . Massey.had expected somet hing different. The so n of Russian immigrants, he was raised among Communists -=poor people who held the idea of th e 1920s and '30s that there was hope in Russia. .. , was disappointed," he said. Massey's revision of his concept of Russia began right at the border. He had brought his correspondence, personal work and photocopies of manuscripts from other European libraries he had visi ted . An ex planation was demanded for each and f!"lery piece bf paper. ..They hate paper," Massey commented. Massey was also physically sea rched. "We tend to respect a perso n's body sp;tce," he said .... For them , there's no hesit3tion to lay a. hand on you. That readiness for physical intrusion was striking." because the old people are not watched as closely. The refusenik is a physicist. After being refused exit from the country, he was demoted to electrician. "I heard end less stories of antiSemitism," Massey said ... The minute they know yo u're a Jew, things are more difficult." Jews are discriminated against for jobs and promotions, and things are even worse for refuseniks, he said. "The Russians are caught between wanting to get rid of the Jews and not letting them out at all, .. he noted. Massey found the nation's large military presence disturbing ... It's as if they're at war not only with Afghanistan , but vtith the whole world." Massey caught him self unconsciously block ing out th e military personnel he saw on the streets. ••At first , I was eager to practice my Russia n," he said. "i!ut at the end, I pretended not to know a word . I was so angry and hostile." Massey thinks it's a good op portunity for an American to visit Russia, but is suspicious of the Ru ssians' motives for sending people here . .. 1 can't imagine the Russians doing anythin g without a purpose." Massey said. "If they se nd a librarian here, th ey've go t to have an ulterior motive.'' The angry feelings about the country rem ain with him. "I don't think I'd go back ," he said . "I'm afraid I'd get into a fight." T hen Wendy and Ed Katkin visi ted Russia for tw o weeks this summeJ, they had little contact with the people. "Everything we did was clearly set up for tourists, "said Wendy, special assistant to the vice president for research. Her husband, Ed , professor and chairman of Psychology. attended a conference on behavioral medicine and health psychology in Moscow. He was invited by the Collegium lnternationale Activitas Nervosae Superioris through the auspices of the Soviet Academy of Medicine. He rep rese nted the Society for Psychophysiological Researc h, of which he was president. The Kat kins traveled with a small group of psychologists, a Soviet guide who was '4_ssigned to th em. and an American guide fluent in Russian ... 1 !Vink we agree," Ed aid , "the Soviet government goes out of its way to make it difficult to interact with the people. ot knowing the language put us at a real disadvantage.

"By and large, they don't have access to information;'' he Said. "That's what makes it so val uable to them.

Assembled by actress Diane Keaton and an historian Marvin Heiferman and originally collected into a book, the ph01ographs are now touring galleries in the United States. Their creators would be surprised. The still photographer, according to Mr. He iferman, was. "the poor relation" on the movie set ''the timid soul on the extreme edge ~f the execution. The mathematical principles and design concepts behind this work have brought it to intemational attention.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

M ... It's the most enco uraging thing 1\.e seen since coming to ew York State;· Sample said of the 78-page report , called "The Challenge and the Chotce," issued last week by the Independent Commission on the Future of the State University. The commission "'as appointed about a year ago by Chancellor Clifton R. Wh arton Jr. , with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The commission is co-chaired by Ralph P. Davidson, chairman of the board of Time. Inc., and Dr. Harold Enarson , president emeritus of Ohio Stale University. The 15-member panel is composed of peo ple from various sectors of the economy. The report supports UB's own goals, Sample said. " I satd we should become o ne of the 10 best public unive rsi ties in the nation in the next decade ... the president stated. ...Thi report is \try sup portive of that goal. The commi.!tsion repon. citing the leadership they have demonstrated in the past. recommended that B and Stony Brook be built into centers competi ti\'e with o th er public umversities in the country. · .. The emphasis on research and graduate education comes out loudlY-and clearl y, .. Sample.continued . "wit h respect to greater dece ntral iz.ation a nd more autonomy, the report gives the ~tro nges t possi ble impetus. And econom1c development pervades every cha pter." If implemented , th e repon·s recommendat io ns would have several effect on B, Sample said. The emphasis on research and graduate education at B v.ould mean .. moving into the \try fi':5 t ranks of resea rch nation ally,'' he said. ccording to the report. SU \'is not considered to be a •·world class" Uni versity or even a leader among the states· public universities, although it ha~ the potent ialto become one oft he greatest of the public uni,er::,it) systems. The present sta.tu!l ot S ~).:..hurts in term s of auractinggrants and contracts and the \Cr) best A s.mp1e IIndo encouraging ,.... In the ,.porl. student • ample a1d . New Yorl State is a net exporter of students.. he noted . What S :-IV doesn·l have IS one ortwo camp uses that rank with the very best in the coun try. he sa1d . That's what makes u different from systems in states such as Wisconsin. CaJifornia or Tex.as. If the re:pon writers are heeded , that co u ld c h ange. Ma rginal additional resources would no longer be allocated across the board. but would be given to B and Stony Brook. Sample said. The New York Times mentioned Berkeley and C hapel Hill as potential models for excellence that S ' Y might look to in developing its two ·nagship" cam· puses. T he second mam proposal of the report calls for NY to be rest rue~ ture:d a.s a .. public benefit corporation ... in an attempt to cut red tape. As a public benefit corporation. SUNY would be subject to governmental O\ersight but empowered to manage its budget, academic and personnel affairs free of many of the restrictions cu rrently 1mposed by state law. S Y would get lump-sum appropriations rather than the minutely dela ile:d, exte rnal determinat ions that now restrict the system's expe nd itures and its ability to allocate and manage its resources . The plan calls for the same lump-sum fund ing to be extended to individual campuses. This would affect budgeting proce· dures. the way in which decisions are made and the way time is spent. Sample said tding that ind ivid uals on campus spen, n inorrnnate amount of ume .. v.orkw~ v.ith - and sometimes around the m~ riad requiremen ts Lhat exist now. The proposed change " ould "gl\c 11> lot more ume to \\Orry ahout c\ccller.cc • in tea hing and research , not about the bureaucra~!c si tua tio n;· Sample S<iid . a The proposed change ~<ould al o allow campuses that generate mcome to keep the funds , he satd .

Sample ~aid . .., thmk 1he report ~~ sa)'ing it should be bottom-up." It could mean a larger role fort he niversit) Council. and v. o uld ttrtainly mearr a larger role for 1he deans and faculty. he said . Decisio ns should be made by indi, idual faculty members whenever pos ible and go up the ladder only when necessa ry. he report call> SU Y the .. most ovc,. regulated university in the nation.·· SUNY i treated like any ot her state agency. causing 1he state to run .. its universi t ies like its prisons.·· as one committee member put it. The corollary ts that unless the siittation is changed . 11 will be impossible to compete with olhe r universities, Sample noted. An example of the bureacracy is the fact that at one time. e\ery travel request by a SUNY faculty member had to be apprt)\·ed by a bureaucrat in Albany. he T ~aid . ..

Regan visited the campus last Friday(Jan. 25) to release results of an audit conducted by his department which found Univc.-sity fiscal S practices- after a few improvements are instituted - to be generally sound . At a press conference called to release his report. he declared his support for the reco mmendations of the Independent CommisSion on the Future of the State University (see separate article) which called for md"re fiscal autonomy for SUNY campuses. ' Major criticisms-regarding US cited by the State audi tors in their sys tem-wide investigati on regard ed student billing _ procedures, uncollected accounts. inventory procedures and cash collections. U B is not billing studcni.S and collecting tuition fees in a .. timel y" manner consisten t with SUNY po licies. the report said . Instead of billing students o n the first day of classes. UB does not bill until three we"eks in to the semester. with payments · Jue fo ur weeks later. State taxpaye rs lost $121.000 in potential in terest during a recent semester as a resuh of the lagged tuition payment plan. Regan said. In his response , also given at the press conference President Sample said the Universi ty will comply with all the recommendations of th e auditors. This September, students will receive thti r tuition bills o n the first day of classes. Sample pointed out, however, that the late fees imposed on laggard feepayers (U B is the only SUNY unit which has them) generate more than $200.000 in revenue each semeSter. whieh more than offsets the lost interest income. He added , "Our delayed billing has had a good effect fo r certain fami lies hit hard by the area economic recession. but we need to get in compliance. with SUNY policy." An01her issue identified in the audit is the "write off' of$536.700 in tuition and fees as uncollectable during an 18-month period ending in September, 1983. Sample said that this amount is less than one per cen t of the $60 million in tuiti on and fees collected d uring th at period ,,a collecti on rate of better th an 99 percent. which "may be o ne of the best in th e country." he audit also noted that a total of S 118.000 in equipment was lost or sto len from campus during a recent ISmonth period and st ressed the need for better inventory procedures. record keeping. and physical securit y. Sample co mmented that in view of the fact that US's inventory includes more than 185.000 items \alued at S210 million. this loss is "astoundingly low.''le ·s than o ne- half of one-tenth .ol one per cent of its equipment.

"\Ve agree with th e Comp troller' tfaat there is still roo m for improvement.·· Sample also sa id o th er recom me ndations for improvement in accounting for cas h collections will be fo llowed. "This Uni ve rsit y is in preuy competent hands." Regan stated . noting that his auditors could fi nd no major s hortcomings in campus financial practices. In explaining the pu rpose of th e audit. he pointed out. "This is no t th e type of state interference that th e Independent Commissio n was talking a bout. This audit and our relati ons hip to the university sys tem through post audits illustrates why the university co uld and should have more autonomy - we're always going to co me in right behind them." Sample concurred: "Thi~ sc:,sio n is demonstrative of how a healthy post audit :,ystcm ope rat es.

Tra veling away from the river the wate rs gro w increasing ly mo re sal ine. shading into salt nats. This natural sal ine gradient is typica l of an estuary where marine life is subject to •frequent, harsh enviro np1ental shifts.

By co ntrast, the ce lls o f estuarine al g ae c o nt ai n vigoro us " pumps" that transport salts back and forth throug h cell membra nes in respo nseto changes in external ma rin e condi tio ns. This salt exchange constitutes a kind of c h e~i cal dia lo gue between o rga nis m and cnv1ro nme nt that Bisso n is tryinl! to decipher. - · . "The first alga I studied ," recoun ts Bisso n, .. was a weed y, strictly mar ine spec1es kno wn fo r its dark s hape as 'dead man 's ha nd ' that grew near th£ Duke Ma rine A �January 31, 1985 Volume 16, Nos. 15-16 AND STONEWORT Labo rat ory on the coast of North Carolina where I worked in the mid-70s." She was interested in how the alga responds to changes in salinity. "But what really intrigued me was the similarity of salt pumps in fres hwater and marine species. If the salt pumps are the same, what accounts for the vast differe nces in the kinds an.d quantities of salt these algae can tolerate?" The answer. Bi s~o n and other researchers believe. is t~e mechanism that regulates salt pumps. The focu s of her research . therefore, has bee n on physiological co ntrol processes -in ·a lgal ce lls. In particUlar, she has exa mined the ·regulation of osmotic prOcesses, an o bjei:t of widespread scientific inquiry si nce Nollet perfor~ h.is crude bladder ex periments 40 ea rs before the French Revolutio n. "In o species do we fully ·understand the mechanisms of information transfer or the way in which the in~onpatio~ alters the cont rolled processes m Q.Smouc regulation, .. notes Bisso n. smosis is one of those delightful natural processes that refuses to be tamed by desc ription. Nevertheless. an attempt at a more precise acco unt will be helpful in grasping what is mea nt by the governance of that process. · Most living membranes permit the 0 passage of wat er (called the solvent) while being less permeable to the passage of dissolved materials (called the solutes) in water. During os mosis - all. other factorS re maining equal - wate r moves from a region of lesser solute co nce ntrati on through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of greater solute co ncentration . Beca use plant cells usually have a higher os motic co ncentration than their environment, water tend s to migrate into th em. This constant movement creates press ure against the interi or of the cell wall , the rigid nonliving strucrure that surrounds pla nt cell membranes but is absent in a nimal cells. lntrace llular water press u-re is called · turgo r and it explains wh y lettuce stored in water stays crisp. Bisso n expands: "When the ex ternal os moti c pressu re varies. cells suffe r a change in turgo r 011- h .1mc. or both. The abi lity of a lgae to regulate turgo r is clea rl y a n advantage in th e marine e[wironmen t where ex terrla i os motic pressure is large and va riatio ns ofte n occur, especiall y in near -s hore: sJlallow regions. An acute decrease o r increase in ex ternal os motic press ure co ul d cause a plan t cell to fat all y shrivel or rupture. if it did not compensate by tak ing up or ex pelling salts." To com pound matters. a number of I ,. /'/ transport mechanisms unrelated to turgor regulation draw materi al into the cell. When this movement occurs agai nst th e e lectroc hemi ca l g radient it requir es e nergy a nd ca rrier molecules a nd is therefo re called active tra nsport. (Osmosis per se is a passive process that needs onl y a co ncen trat io n grarl ient and a se mipermeable me mbrane to tr ans pire.) Many solutes tend to coilcentrate in the sap of th e vac uole. an enclosed space th at clajms most of the volume of th e gia nt a lga l cell and dominates osmoti c re latio ns. These solutes include sa lts like potassi um a nd chloride. which pri ncipally assist osmosis. a nd materials whi ch arc required fo r. or arc the products of. metabolic act ivi t ieS. An y di ssolved substance in the vac uole. howeve r. alters solute concen tra tion, thereby innuencing os motic pressure wit hin the cell. Bisson found that Lamprolhamnium adjusts interna l osmo tic pressu re and thereby maintains relatively consta nt turgor press ure th ough ex posed to sa linities varyi ng from nearl y fresh wmer to twice that of sea water. "Several species of giant-cel led mari ne algae regulat e th eir turgor by controlling the ionic conce ntration of the vacuolar sa p," reports Bisso n. .. A key feature of the regulat io n is a negati\'e feedback of turgor press ure on th e rate of active uptal<e of ions. prese rving a roughly equivalent osmotic gradient dCspite variations in external salinit y." Frc~hwateT species. on the other hand . usuall y respond 10 external salinit y variations by maintaining a cons tan t internal os motic press ure. The res ult ant Joss of turgor is minor since externa l os mo tic pressure in fresh water is low - due to the relative lack of di ssolved •salts and min erals . Bi s~o n explains tha t " th e ions of potassi um ( K +)and chloride (Cn urc the: main ~olute~ in the l...li mprothamnium vac uol e. and are mo~t important in cQntrolling internal o:-.mo ti c press ure." She found that other minerals. salts, sugars and en zy mes. though present in appreciab le amounts. arc inconsequential for turgor regulation. ..The differcnct.• between pl;.mts which regula te turgor directl y. like Lamprothamnium. and t hose freshwa te r spefies that do not. ma y be the presence or ab~cncc of a mechanism to meas ure tu rgor and translate that measurement int o a signa l to alter membrane transpo rt propert ies,'' renccts Bisson. Her searc h for tha t mechanism led her in rece nt years • to a tiny lake o ut side Saskatoon where a sa h-t okra nt Charophyte called Chara burke/Iii clings to th e mud dy bo tt om. joini ng U B as an ass istan t professor in 1980, Bisson has been S ince co nducting com pa ra tive studies of Chara burke/Iii - nicknamed sto newort fo r its motley limesto ne cOat - a nd its fres hwater coUsin, Chara coral/ina.

The cuts, if approved, wouldn't be fell until the 1986-87 academic year si nce the ndingfor 198~6 is al ready in place, he P ~··T of t'-nain proposals are: one, to place ,000 cap on total student aid from all ederal sources, and two, to deny eligibility for Guaranteed Student Loans to any applicant with family income over $30,000 regardless of need . The $4,000 cap would hit grad uate and professiona l.· students the hardest , Conner said. Students living on campus would also feel the crunch. The maxi mum amount of student aid now allowed each person depends on that person's t'Uition a nd fees, room a nd boaFd , books and supplies. perso nal expenses. and transportation. he explained. A B undergraduate who commutes is allowed $4,730 now. If the cap were in effect. a commuter receiving full financial aid wou ld be on ly $730 short. But an undergraduat e li ving on cam pus or who is independen t is allowed $6.130 now. The cap watlld mean .thal a stud em in thi s ca tegory now receiving full financial aid would co me up $2.130 short. (Ma rried stud ent s are a llowed even more - 59.090.) " It co uld be devastating to a student living on campus." Conner said ... And it wbuld really hurt the graduate student." Graduate stud ents who live with th eir parents are now allowed up to $5,820. Campus reside nt s and independent students are allowed $7.220. Married grad st udents may receive up to $ 10.180.

The prese nt system a ll ows studen ts with a family income of up to about $40,000 to receive so me aid if they meet a need s test.

(AT FAR RIGHT) John Grimes (James Bond 111) on the floor of the.Temple of the Fire Baptized in 'Go Tell Jt on the Mountain.' January 31, 1985 Volume 16, No. 15 n January 14, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, WNED-Channell7 presented a powerful adaptation of James Baldwin's first novel, Go Tel/It On The Mountain. King is the first American hero to have a national holiday declared in honor of his birthday since the advent of television. His is the only birthday which is commemorated each year with a television special. Back in 1979, long before Congress had declared King's birthday a national holiday, this effort was initiated by WNED-Channel 17 in Buffalo. Wiley Hance produced A Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. in which opera stars Marian Anderson and Clamma Dale joined with guest conductor Henry Lewis a nd the Buffalo Philharmo nic Orchestra at the Concert / Theatre Hall of Buffalo 's new Convention Center, and in 1980, Hance produced a second Tribute which featured actress Cicely Tyson a nd tenor George Shirley with Julius Rudel and t'he Buffalo P.hilharmonic Orchestra. In 1982, the special was produced by Howard University's WHMM-TV, Channel 32 in Washington, D.C., the only Blackowned PBS stati on in th e country. Martin Luther King: We Shall No t Forget featured interviews with Stevie Wonder and Coretta Scott Kin g, the widow. Other local stat ions played a rol e in other yea rs. All of these programs were broadcast natio nall y to the 300 oth er public stati ons, and helped to gai n recognition for King's birthday. 0 HE ROTHKO CHAPEL. Another institu ti on which has consistently T honored King is The Rothko Chapel in By GERALD O'G RADY Houston , Texas. Last year, it showed The March, a film which my late UB colleague James Blue had made for distributio n abroad by the United States Information Agency. It features · King's speech, "I Have a Dream," made at The March on Washington on Augu st 28 , 1963 when 200 ,0 00 Americans engaged · in the largest peaceful protest in our history. According . to noted film critic Richar<! Dyer McCann, it is the best government "s ponsored . film ever made in this . country. The Roth ko -.Chapel was consecrated for meditation in 1971. In 1964, John and Dominig.ue de Menil, Houston and inter- national art benefactors, had asked Mark Rothko to create a religious environment, a sacred place. Rothko proposed the octagonal plan of th&-Chapel, designed by P.hilip· Johnson, and created the fo urteen paint ings which adorn it in 1965-66, just before his own suicide. The Chapel began the celebration of King's birthday in 1972. According to its Executive D irector, Dr. Thompson L. Shannon, the purpose is "to understand Kin g's li fe and how it came about." Every year, he has invited African am bassadors from the United Nations, U.S . Senators, and other distinguished guests to share their views of King and his mission. This yea r, former President Jimmy Cartertalked on human rights ;md the Harlem Boys Choir performed . Last year, James Blue's film was so po pular that it had to be shown three times , and after each screening, all of those in attendance surro unded the refl eccing pool which contai ns Barnett Newman's "Broken Obelisk," joi ned han ds, a nd sang "We Shall Overcome" an d ot her songs, as is done eac year, no matt er what the event. "The Broke n Obelisk," its tip resting on th e tip of a pyramid, stands 26 feet high and is dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. Wh en ewman made it in 1967, he was thinking of primal creati on and infini ty. In a letter to J oh n de Menil, he wrote: " It is concerned wi th life. and I hope I ha ve transformed its tragic content into a glimpse of the su blime ... The de Menils acquired it Q.ecause it reminded them of King's life which was ab ruptl y cut off. like the obelisk. by death , but transcended itse lf. It s connection with King has always reminded me of the obelisk, designed by Robe rt Mills and dedicated a cen tu ry ago (1885) to George Was hingt on, which stands in our Capitol Gro unds, 555 feet tall, 1800 miles to the nort h of Houston, the site of King's own famous speech. The Rothk o Chapel was erected just ac ross the stree t from the small white house in which I fo unded th e Med ia Center in 1968 and invited James Blue to be it s first faculty member. Memories lin ger there: on the night of King's assassinati on, April 4, 1968, one of my new colleagues at the UniverSity of Buffalo, the late Professor C.L. "Joe" Ba,rber, was lecturing at th e Medi ~ Center on the fi lm versions of Shakespeare's plays. James Blue and the de Menils were in the audience, and we suspended the screening of Olivier· Hamlet to keep a Vigil at th eir home. When I· last visi ted The Rothk o Chapel. on the twentieth anni· versary of John Ke nnedy's assassination on November 22, 1983, "The Broken Obelisk" had been vandalized. and ret urned to the Lippincott Brothers in Connecticut for refabriquion. BLUE. James Blue's fi lm on Martin Luther King was influenced by J ames Bald win's The Fire JNextAMES Time. In 1963, Blue had just returned from France where he had lived for many years, and he had al ready made the firs t of his three filmsset in Africa. He brought a uniquely global perspective of inte rnati o nal brotherho od to his task that yea r, which was to make a film about America's racial problems which could be presented to foreign audiences. Our racism was a black mark against democ racy all over the world. What could be said? While Blue was researching the film, James Baldwin, who had again moved back to France, published The Fire Next Time in March, 1963. Its second part was called "My Dungeon Shook: Lett er to My Nephew James oo the One Hundred Anniversary of the Emancipation," and it co ncluded: .. You know, and I know, that the co untry is celebrating one hundred years of freedom one hundred years too soon. We cann ot be free until they are free. God Bless Yo u, James." , , In April, 1963, Martin Luther King wrote abou t a real du ngeon, and published his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail," addressed to eight fell ow clergy men from Alabama. He quoted Thomas Aquinas, Martin Buher. and Paul Tillich, and said : "Just as the Apostle Paul left his vi llage of Tarsus and carried the gos pel of Jes us Christ to the four corners of the Graeco-Roman world , so I am compelled to carry this gospel of freedom beyond my own home town .... We will re ach th e goal of freed o m in Birming h:\m and all over the natio n, because the goal of Ame rica is freedom. We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.·• l men ti on these writings of Baldwin and King because James Blue bo th wrote and narrated the soundtrack for The March. and the word freedom echoes through every section. He consciously reca lls Baldwin when he says: "If I am not free, yo u are not free." In May, 1963 . the late Ro bert Kenned y held a meeting with Blacks in th e ew York City apartment of Kenne th Clark . James Baldwin was there as were Harry ' Belafont e. Lena Ho rne, and Lorrai ne Hansberry. The exchanges were sharp, and word spread through the country that whites could simply no t grasp the nation's pressing problems. Clark would later write, after Robert Ken nedy's assassi natio n: "The fact that Robert Kennedy sat through such an ordeal for three hours proved that he was ~mo n g the best the white power �.· January. 31, 1985 Volume 16, Nos. 15-16 out to do. As it ·was being completed in the editing room in late Nove mber, President Kenn edy was shot in Dallas. Despite oppositio n from the Prcsadential Advisory Commissio n o n Information Policy, hi s film was s hown all over the world and carried Martin Luther King Jr.'s message (a nd his own) to th e four co rners of what had become known as the American Empire. A M ES BALDWIN . James Bald win's firs t novel wa ~ a se miau to bi og raph y of a 14year o ld Harlem boy's conversion to Jesus. Its setting. th e Temple of th e Fire Bapti zed. is the Harlem sto refro nt coro llary of The Rothk o C hapel. The whole J sto ry take ~ place within 24 hours. from when th e author's surrocatc. J ohn Grimes. ariseS o n Saturday morn ing to when he "rise!<. from th e dead'' o n Sunday morni ng. It s style is remi ni sce nt of Faulkner beca use each of its fir!'lt four sections is based o n th e mc mon of a character whO offers an ove rl ap ping recollectio n oft he eve nt s from a diffe rent point of view. "I HAVE A DREAM" - . - Martin "GO TELL IT ON T·HE MOUNTAIN" structure had to offer. There were no villains in the room - only the past of our societ y." On June 15, 1963, President Jo hn Kenned y wro te a lenerto President Dacko of the Ce ntral African Repubhc , who had questio ned his resolve o n the racial issue, and James Blue received a copy, as he. did of all such co rrespondence at the time. The lale President co ncluded his epistle: .. I wis h to ass ure yo u and the nati o ns of the world , both free and unfree, that the United States Government has made nd" attempt, no r will it make any attempt, to conceal in any way its problems in the a rea of race relations ... W e have met other challenges in o ur nati o nal existence, and we will ove rco me this one.·· On August 28, 1963, James Blue translated all of th is ex perience in to The March and the even Is of that one day, along with his carefully co nstructed narration, which took mo nth s to write, _beca me the film he had se t a nd 1hc evc nl s include th e hi story of the relati o ns h ips between blac ks a nd white!'! i n Ha rlem and th e So uth going back to 1830. th e sex ual struggl~ of th e ncsh again st the s pirit, a nd the singu lar Black religio n wh ich co mbined the Blue s wi th the Old Testament images of wandering in th e wilderness and bei ng impr iso ned in exile.

J o hn experiences hi s co nve rsion thrashing a bout o n th e Threshin g Floor (th e t itl e of th e last secti o n) of the storefront church. Like the boy in the novel , Baldwin himself was training to be a preacher at that age and James Baldwin had undergone a religi o us ex pe rience at Mount Calvary of the Pentacos tal Faith Church, where his father was the preacher, just as Gabriel is in the novel·. The film remains faithful to the novel but has to prese nt t he past histories of the characters in brief flashbacks as they move thro ugh th e action, rather than as sustained co nfessional reveries which all take place o n Saturday night. In some ways, these flujd transitions fro m past to prese nt furth er intensifY the novel's fores had owings and echoings of. eve nts,. a Solyle whi ch Baldwin inherited from the C hristian tradition of inte rpreting the Old and New Testament s as signs of each other, usually called typo logy. We are presented with a moving exposi tion ef a cen tu ry of ex lernal and internal Black history,.ending in 1935. • " When history is what it should be, "said th e Spanish philos opher, humani~t Onega y Gassct , "it is an elaboration of cine ma .... the true historical realit y is not the thing, but the evolu tion formed datum , the fact , t when these mate a It and fluidify." It has gone ~If/ 13 unnoticed tha t all of Baldwi n's wrilings are unus ually cinematic. His scnings in Blues fo r Mister Charley. for exampl e, are superimposilions. Early o n. in hi s ''Autobiogr~ p hi cal Preface" to Notes of a Native Son (1955). he acknowledged his .. mo rbid desi re to ow n a six teen millimeter camera and make experimental movies.·· The best descr ipt io n of his conver ion experience at the end of Go Tel/It On The Mowuain comes at the end of his book o n film criticis m, The Devil Finds Work ( 1976). which is at once a stra nge a utob iogra ph y based on the film s which he has see n ove r his lifetime. a nd a history of th e treatme nt of th e image of Black people.

Training: it's no jolie at UB By Ann Whitcher "T eacher training is perhaps the biggest running joke in higher education ," wrote Newsweek's Jonathan Alter in a recent art icle describing the numero us shortcomings of teacher education in the United States . The article pointed to shoddy programs which , to one degree or another, share a va riet y of negative characteristics. They inc lu d e overemphasis on education courses to the detrimen t of sound training in an academic subject; poor overall student quality, and ineffectual .training for the classro.om itself. . Dean Hugh (Petrie (above) notes that student teachers · here major in their academic discipline while minoring in teacher tducation. PHOTOS: PHYLLIS. CHRISTOPHER how and where to get good I ndced, teach ers is a hot topic in ed ucational circles today. following the nurry of national reports decrying the state of American elementary and secondary education. Educators are now examining the state of teacher training at a time when, according to a report issued by the Rand Corporat·ion , the s uP'PIY of teachers will meet only 80 per cent of th~ demand in just four years. Critics rightly castigate the state of many teacher training programs. Hugh G. Petrie. dean oflJ B's Faculty of Educa.tional Studies. s.aid r~cently. But . they ought also to recogmze that many se r-· vicea ble. even excellent, teacher training programs do exist. There is no o ne form of teacher training, but rather a ··vast· variation of quality of program and in the stude nts ' ability to deal with so me of the problems and professional concerns," said Petrie. In UB's small teacher training program, th e FES dean poi nted ou t. students train as teachers, while thoroughly immersing themselves in a traditi o nal liberal arts di scipline. He explained that student s must maj or in th e humanities: sciences. or social sciences with teacher education servi ng as a minor only. There a re now 40 undergraduate and 20 graduate stud ent s enrolled in th e UB teacher education program. (Graduate students hold the baccalaureate in a traditional academic subject . but have not yet received any teacher training.) The•UB program (which leads to New York State certification) requi res only 24 hours in education and is taken during a two-semester period which includes student teaching. The teacher education minor co nstitutes less than one-fifth of a student's total baccalaureate degree program. In thi s way. Petrie indica ted, st udents don't become education course dro nes, as has happened at so me of th e lesser sc hools described by Neu-.nveek. Even so. Petrie makes no apology for responsible education courses. noting that. here again. a distinction must be made between the good and the bad . H'C elaboraied: "Our co urses a re intended to acQuaint students with the latest in educational research. The professors teaching the cour es are specialists in such areas as educational psychology. and many arc active con tributors to the leading journals of their field s. "Moreover. the courses in education that we offer continuall y reinforce th e relationship between theory and..p ractice. In thi s way. students learn that the theory is not meaningless and the practice is not uninformed." he noted . For example. added Dr. Rod ney Doran. director of teacher education at UB and a fellow of the Science Teachers Associa tion of New York State. in the required field work. students must spend fi ve hours a week in area classrooms, meeting with teachers, student s. and guidance counselors, in addition to th e student teaching they do at a later time. "They are doing more than observing since they are given specific tasks to do, .. Doran said. ''For instahcc. they might be . asked to observe an individual's learni ng style. perhaps illustrating a topic they are studying in a class in educational psychology. They would probably then have to write a report on what they have observed vis-a-vis their readings'. and prepare for classroom discussion on the same." ~ A" other example: "the science teaching methods cou rse is taught by a person who has taught science and has the degree in science education." said Doran. who was named " Out stand ing Science 'reacher" in 1980 by the Association of Teactiers of Science. The combined 1983 Scholastic Apti- tude Test {SAT) score of college-bou nd high school seniors intending to major in January 31 , 1985 Y'!lume ~ 6, .Nos .-1S.1 6 education, Newsweek reported , is only 812 compared with 987 for intended engineering majors and 893 for all senio rs taking the test that year'. But at UB. Petrie said , a number of reasonably good st udents - a few of them very good - have been applying for the teacher education minor program in recent years. The combined SAT score for studen ts entering UB as fres hmen in 1979 - who four years later graduated with th e teacher education minor - was actually sligh tl y higher (1068) than the combined sco re for all freshmen students who entered UB in 1979( 1048).the FES dean added. Un like some of the teacher education programs under attack. UB's teache r education program has respectable admissions requirements and presumes a reasonable level of intellectual rigor on the part of its st udents. Teacher education admission requirements here include a minimum of 2. 7 ove rall grade point average. and a minimum of 2.7 in the academic major. In addition. FES also administers a mandatory writing exam for all applicants (beyond the general ed ucati on one administered earlier by the University). and a con ten t exam for prospective math teachers. Also. all applicants must ha,·e three personal interviews with an admissions committee comprised of FES faculty and local school officials. The interview. said Associate FES Dean Leroy Callahan. "he lps us to determine if the applicant has th e potential for and interest in teaching and. of course, to see if he o r she has a semblance of working well with people ... Once admitted , the academic program of each student is reviewed at the conclusio n of each semester. Students must maintain a B average in teacher ed courses in order to continue in the program, the FES officials said . n the national scene. FES has been active in trying to effec t beiter teacher preparation ·gene{ally. Petrie now serves on a national committee which is examining the role of the liberal art s in teacher preparation. The committee is spo nsored by th e Association of Schools and Colleges of Education in State Uni· versities and Land-Grant Colleges and Affiliated Private Universities. Quite a mouthful. but an important body, comprised of about 100 schools including several outstanding private universities having programs in teacher education. They include Columbia. Stanford. and Syracuse universities. The same commi ttee is assisting in efforts to re-design the accredi tati on procedures of the National Co uncil for Accredita ti on of Teacher Education. the national accreditation body for teacher education programs. Also. B has been mentioned as a po.:,sible new member of t he so-called "H olmes gro up.'' a collection of 20 education deans who take their name from the late dean of the Harvard education school. Henry W. Holmes. This group. too. i!!l in vestiga ting new ways of improving teacher training. In addition. Petrie is a member of S Y Chancclfor Clifton R. Wharton Jr .'~ Task Force on Teacher Education. The group last year asked SUNY units to submi t proposals designed to drastically improve cooperative programs between SUNY and local school district s and to upgrade teacher com petency in these districts. The task force chose 20 plans from 33 submilled . They range fro m a ment orf master teacher progra m at SUNY 1AI· bany. to a com puter training network for scbool systems (t hrough SUNY I Binghamton). to the organizing of education resource teams at UB. Last September, Chancellor Wharton asked the Board of Trustees to approve a total of$827 J75 in its 1985-86 budget request in order to supportthc 20 projects at 17 campuses. ~der the plan, participating campuses would pr'bvide a total of approximately $330.000 in support from their own budgets. The $48,875 in total funds requested fo rthe UB program W!'uld pay resource persons from both th e Universi ty and local schools in addition to funding o ther personnel and administrative costs. The 548,875 would 0 �JllnWiry 31' 1985 Volume 18, Hoi. 15-16 ~Ifl15 be supplemented by a UB in-kind contribution of $2,750. Petrie explained that UR, in formulating its own proposal, wished to help schools meet some of the requirements of the recently-Cnacted Regent's Action Plan. The plan, he explained, mandates that school districts g1ve mort: structure to what has hitherto been a somewhat haphazard approach to in-service education for teache.rs, and also improve foreign language education in elementary and secondary schools. "We thought we could make an especially significant contribution in these two areas ," he said. Discussing other issues in teacher training, Petrie, Doran, and Callahan said they endorse the Educational Testing Service's National Teacher Examination Core Battery Tests, now required in 18 states. In New York, they noted, entering teachers must now successfully complete the core battery tests before they can be provhionally certified. An achievement test in the teacher's field has also been proposed in New York State, and is likely to be in effect in the next two years, said Petrie. Butllie FES faculty members dismiss the uggestion that such competency tests .. predict the master teacher," in Doran's words. Simply put, they are loath to · object to a minimum test of a prospective teacher's competence. Said Petrie: .. 1 think such exams are a good idea. People ought. to have a minimum level of knowledge." Asked how teacher unions have greeted such plans in other states, Petrie said. new teac~ers have been generally receptive to the tests. But veteran teachers have vociferously objected to the use of the tests as a means of reliccnsure in states where this is required. It is · unlikely that competency tests for ve teran teachers will ever be required in New York State, however. "The unions are too strong, .. Petrie opined. In any case, the FES dean reported , the core battery exams test-: I) general knowledge. 2) communication skills, and 3) professional knowledge. The latter is 1he only knowledge 1hat relates 10 traditional education courses. In other words, Petrie said. whether students do well or poorly on the competency tCsts is largely a measure of their preparation in non-education, or academic, courses. Many plans have been advanced throughout the country to revivify teacher preparation . Some are illadvised, 10 the view of Petrie and his colleagues. For example, an open admissions plan at City University of New York ( ew York City needs 4,000 new teachers according to the Newsweek anicle) brought an as10undi ng 3,000. applications. Los Angeles had a similar experience with such an alternative proposal. In all, 32 states are considering similar measures. But the FES faculty members are skeptical. As Petrie put jt, "it's a long way from 3,000 inquiries 10 turning out (thai many) teachers." He explained that many good teachers may in fact emerge from these programs, but this would be largely a coincidental development in his view. s for 'desirable plans, Petrie and · his colleagues said they favor scholarships to attract talented newcomers to .the teaching profession. New York State now offers scholarships for math and science teacher training, they noted . "At UB, we'regetting a relative lot of people who are interested in math and science teaching," Callahan added. There are, said the associate dean, l300 institutions in the country that train teachers. Many are the size and character of UB, he said, basing his comments on a recent survey of 100 comparable schools, all having re(atively high standards. These include a.n appropriate number of required education courses and respectable admission requirements. Petrie noted that "it has been estimated that only one-fourth of all the teachers in the couqtry have attended the. wort~ier schools." He listed three poSSible solutions: enlarge small pr~a~s such A !) as UB's, 2) close down the diploma mills or otherwi se poor schools where graduation comes easy and standards are nil, 3) enact strict approval means for all existing teacher education programs. Petrie appears to favor the latter. On a more optimistic note, the FES faculty members contend that , based on their own surveys of school senior vocational preference. the all-round academic suitability of high school seniors favoring a teaching career. is comparable to that of high school seniors (aboUI 85 per cent) who say "no way to a teaching career, .. Callahan said . "They are just as qualified as the rest," he elaborated . "They are a 'bit idealistic perhaps. They don' talk of money but, rather of the enjoymenlthey expect to get from working with kid s... Added Petrie: "Their attitude is that they will go into teaching despiie the lousy pay." The appeal to ideali ~m.may be one way to an improved state-ofaffairs. Frances Bolin, a professor at Teachers College of Columbia Uniwersity, has stated that students training to be . teachers must "recognize thal most people will not understand their desire to teach ." At the same time, other factors , such as low teacher salaries and the realization that even• the best ' teacher education program cannot .. -.- -:.. ensure a lifetime commitment to the teaching profession. must be considered. Co mmenled Pet rie: "It's probably unrealistic to believe that we could ensure this 40-50-year (occupational} commitment from a four-year program. It doesn '1 apply elsewhere . . .. There definitely needs to be more and beuer inservice education for· teachers, however." FES will continue its soft sell teacher ed recruitment effort. "We're not interested In becoming a Buffalo State (State Unive rsily College at Buffalo has long had a large teacher training program). Rather. we beliCve that we can make our own contribution through a high quality program for a small number of liberal arts majors." -· Pe1rie added : "Eighly per cent of teachers in Western New York are trained locally. In fact , 25 per cent of Western New York teachers are teaching in the same district in which they attended, according to a recent s1udy by Dr. Callahan ... . Western New Yf>rk wil ~ not need excessive numbers of teachers in the near future ; nor does UB seek to train lalge numbers. That gives us the opportunity to choose the very best students who feel they have a calling and who also have the intellectuiol and personal skills to make a contribution to 0 the field." _ __ .Right topAssociate FES Dean Leroy Callahan; immediately above- Rodney Doran, . director of teacher education.

Surprisingly, given iLS size, SUNY is aJso the nation's youngest system of public higher education: the statewide system was ~ated in 1948. While there is much to be done, this Commissio n believes that in just 36 years New York a nd SUNY have accompli shed more than has any o ther state in a cornpar.tble time. Funher, this Commission belie,,es th at SUNY's positive impact upon New York Slate is already greater than New Yorkers gene rnlly recognize. We expect that SUNY will in the fu ture receive greater public recognition as perceptions in the state catch up to the reality o f SUNYs accomplishment In undergr.lduate education. SUNY has managed to aurdct an impressive number of the state's best students. For example: • The average combin ed SAT .scores for freshmen at SUl\'Y·Binghamton, 1.1 23. is nearly identical to the average at the' University of California at Berkeley, 1.1 24. • At the Alban y university center. the average combined SAT score of t.he e nte ri ilg class is 1,108. • Aver.1ge combin ed SAT .scores for enteri ng classes at fiVe additio nal SUNY campuses exceed 1,050. a score highe r than that achieved at a great many of New Yo rk's middle·size private colleges. The fi ve: SUNY's university centers at Buffalo and Sto ny Brook. th e Maritime College. and Lh e ans and scie nre colleges at Purchase and ~neseo. SUl\'Y a lso o perat.e s st au~wide remedial progr.1ms for educationally and economicall )' disadvantaged students: about 30.000 students an nually panicipatc i11 these programs. There is less breadth and depth of accompli shment in SUNY's graduate progrnms. The scale of SUNY's resea rch e nterprise is well behi nd that of other public universi ty systems. Since research capaci ty and grdduate progr.:Uns arc the most common ly used measures of uni\·ersity quality. educators generdlly do not )'CI cpnsider SUNY to be :.t "world class" univ.ersity. Nor is SUNY recognized as a national leader a mong the states' public universities. SUl\'Y has the potential to become one of the greatest of public un iversity systems. but in t~e judgment of thi s Comm issio n. SUNY iJ not ?I good m ough. We hase thi s co nclusion on : I) assessmelll of post·baccalaureate educatjo n and research at SUNY compared with that of le:1d· ing pub lic ut!i"crsity systems in other states: 2) th e fan th at SUNY has not yet become the equal of other leading public universities in auracting industry and enha ncing the tax base of its state: and 3) o ur judgment that the future wi ll demand even more from a ll institutio ns of higher education . More that~ e"er before in its history, the US. is becoming a "knowledge-based" society. Rapid change has become a constant feature o( social and personal deve l· opmenL The ability to learn, and to continue learning throughout life, has today become as imponant as the right to vote in defining citizenship and Lhe pursuit of happiness. In the words of sociologist Danie l Bell, the un iversity has become "the paramount institution" in "post·i ndustrial sociery." - The very well·being of the state - as measured by th e capacities of its f;itizens. the state's prospeas for car nomic growth. and the deve lopme nt of knowledge abow the environment and other state issues and needs depe nds upon th e well·being ofthe state's insti tutions of h igher ed ucation, in cluding SUNY. Given the stakes. it is the clear responsibility of the university's leaders. and the elected leaders of Ne'!'-' York state, to seek quality fo r SUNY commensurate wi th the university's great size and potential for service to the state.

Research Funding. In 1982, the most recent year for which comparative data aR' a\'ailable, federal ~arch and devdopment funding receil.•ed by all four of SUNY's university centers combined totalled $52.7.million, about 64 percent· of the amount recdved, say, by the much older University of Wisconsin at Madison. • No SUNY uni\·ersity center n ·ceived as much federal ~arch suppon as did 59 other public and private campuses. including. for example, Colorado State University, the Uni\·ersir:y of Utah, and OR'gon State University. • In 29 other states. theR' was at least one campus rttei~ng more federal research fundin g th an Stony Brook. SU1\1Y's top campus_. In recent years, dforu by SUNYs Research Fo undation to stimulate research funding for the university have produced encouraging results. Nati onally, Lhe grov.th of fede ral research fun ding has slowed to _roughly 4 percent annually since 1981, but SUNY has shown an a\·erage annual rate of increase in such aid of 8 percent during the last th ree )'ears. At!!!cting Students. Man )' lead ing publiC uni\'ersities attract large numbers of out..of-state stude nts. who pay higher IUition than residents. But New York st:uc loses more students to public in titutions in other states than it attracts from out of state. For example, the most recent!)· 3\>ai lable data show thai 21.000 new students from New York chose to attend public colleges outside th e state in 198 1. while New York public colleges that year am-acted only 4.500 new st udents from elsewh ere in the U.S. In comr.ast. New York's indepe nde nt colleges almost hold their own in border crossings: in 1981, 30,400 New Yorkers became new studentS at independent colleges outside the state, wh ile New Yo rk's independent colleges ~ auraeted 25,700 new students from e lsewhere in the U.S. Out..of-state auendance at all of New York's public colleges is onl y one-fourth the national average. The overall result is that, in any given year, New York is a net exporte r of some 64,000 students--;-a number equal to the total enrollment at I3 SUNY campuses. Minority EnroUmenL One special dime nsion is the need to increase the accessibility a nd utilization of SUNY by me mberS of mino rity groups. Minority enroll ment at SUNYs ..state..operated campuses is presentl y about 10 perce nL There is some controversy about the proper interpretation of this figure. When comparison is made with the state~ide population's minoriry percentage of 25 percent, SUNY's percentage appears woefull y inadequate. Wh en comparison is made with the 9.4 percent minority popul4ltion oulsU:U Nt:w Yor* City (the city is sen •ed primarily by CUNY campuses rnth er than by SUNY), SUNY's minority e nrollme nt appears to be more representative. The Commission believes that far more is at stake in improving minority utilization of SUNY than the numeric question of the represc ntativiry of SUNY's total minority e nroll ment Blacks and Hi spanics constilute the fastest gro~i n g segment of th e state's population. As the New York State Board of Regents has observed, members of minoriry groups presently enroll in higher education in proportion to their numbers in the state's high school graduating classes. But retentio n thro ugh graduatiOn is lower for min ority students. Lower too is the rdte of minoril enro llm ent in graduate and professio na l n. And further. at both graduate and edu undergraduate levels, minorities (and also women) are much less likely to selea scientific and technical courses of study. Strong efforts are required by SU1\1Y t.o reverse these tre nds. which presently amount to a loss in "hum3.n capital" for the society as a whole. Along with such efforts, SUNY must more inte nsely recru it minority students at the high school level in Ne ~· York City and throughout the state. a.s well as nationally. 1982 FEDERAL OBUGATIONS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO THE 100 UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES RECEIVING THE LARGEST AMOUNTS (DOLLARS IN MILUONS) RA NK 6 '8 ' " "" 10 II ll 16 17 18 " ",, 20 21 22 " 26 27 2B " " " " lO ll B l6 l7 ,,'' Jll Jl J' ~' ,, .""' ,."

This Commission believes that New York state has already suffered from its historic delay in beginning to build and maintain a statewide public university system. With regard to the future, the Commission offers a warning: New York state cannot a fford the future costs of fai ling to develop a toP.,rnnked public unive rsity system. Spe<:ificallyo • ew York state cannot afford 1.0 continue exporting So many srudents to schools and subsequent careers in other states. Instead. New York's public university should be a magnet for top students nationwide. • New York state can no longer ignore the attraction to industry of quality research and professional centers elsewhere in public highe r education. Instead. the facu lty and the research achievement of New York's public universities should be magnets for industries in many fie lds. • New York state cannot afford to assume that the high ski ll level of the state's labor force, long o ne ofthe state's ch ie f assets, is a resource that v.ill perpetuate itself. ln st.ead. New York must lead in consta ntly upgrading the skills of its citizens, as is required by the knowledge-based sociery in which we live. Tite record does not show a commitment by New York state to bui lding a leading publi c university system of high quality as a primary duty of government. No such dear commiunent is incl uded in the founding legislation. whi ch makes refere nce mere ly to th e creation of "a university." T his Commission has been unable to detect so basic a nd essential 'l. commitme nt in present pr.tctice or results. Instead, among some offi cials in adm inistrative agencies who exercise controls over SUNY's budget, personnel, purchasing, and auditing. we encountered the view that, for the purposes of these controls, SUNY is 'Just another agency." We detected considerable pride in SUNY an d gener.tl satisfaction with its perfonnance, but little understa nding of how unusual a re the constrnin ts under which SUNY operates, or of SUNY's potential for much greater quality and service to the state. lltese are critical issues for New York's future. not empty generalities. The impact of education is not limited tQ the srudents. As a number of sr.udies h ave shown, advancing levels of educatio n are a key cause of productivity increases throughout th e eco nom)' and a key contributor to the growth of national in come.

In September 1984, the Business Counci l of New York State, a pri\>ate association of business a nd chambers of commerce. released a study of e migration from t11e state. which found that the state was experiencing a "brain drain." As Walter Fa llon, chainn an of the Council's Public Policy Institute and a fonner chainnan of the E.asunan Kodak Company, said when the study was released: "llte state cannot go on losing its trained work • forct·. the life blood of its econo m)'. to the rest of the nation." More than one-quarter of New York's net population loss (650.000 people) between 1975 a nd 1980 consisted of adults aged 20 to 34, according 10 the study. More than 30 percent of those New York lost had auended college. _and more than o ne-sixth were in managerial or professional occupations. The states benefiting most from New York's losses were Florida. New Jersey. and Ca lifomia. An it'lstructivt· example. of altemative possibilities is provided by orth Carolina's "research triangle.'' a 6.300· acre industrial development area. which has auracted $1 ~5 bi ll ion o f capital irwesunent from nationall y rt.-cogni zcd corporntions a nd Lhe federa l govemment since it began in 1959. The Research Triangle Foundation. owned jointly by Duke Uni\·ersi t)', the niv~ity or onh Carolina. and Nbrt.h Caroli na State University, has created a partnership among business, state and local gO\•e mmenl, and both public and priv·.tte universities.

The community colleges cooperate closely with local govern ments and indusuy in providing vocational programs that arc attuned to local needs. Technical assistance centers provide guidance o n exporting and lending programs. SUNY courses are offered to employees on a contraa basis (173 companies and mo re tha n 5,000 e mployees panicipated in this program in 1983). There are 32 business development cente.rs that provide management consulting to small a nd stan-up compa nies. In addjtio n, the fesferal Small Busi ness Administration selected SUNY last year to develop a n upstate netwo rk small business developinent ce nters. TI1 ese e fforts are commendable initia l steps. Btu for SUNY to make the major and highly visible contribution to the state's economy thai it is capable of making will require selective and well-planned enhancemem of the university's academic quality. It " i ll require specific attention to graduate and postgraduate research programs. especially in the sciences and engi neering. but also in economics, business. the professions. a nd the broader array of graduate offerings. includi ng the humanities.

In the imerests of faimess. as well as in tht· econo tic interest of 'ew York and it.s people. it is un acceptable to view the public educational instiauion that serves :~ percent of New York's stude nt.s as a "supple rnemal" or "second best" system. As Mun-ar Finley. president of the Amalbr.mtatcd C.'1othing and Texti le Workers Union, observes: "SUl\l\' is probably tlu..· greatest door of oppol1lm ity for children of the members of Ill)' union-and for other children-in New York state."

To encourage broader understanding throughout New York state of SUNY's mission, the legislation under which SUNY operates Should ~ amended to include a description of SUNY's purpose comparable in nature a nd scope to the official mission swements provided for other leading public universities.

In the Com mi ssion's view. th e re is a clear choice before New Yo rk: the state C..'l n decide that New York is not going to get a public uni\'ersity of high quali ty. Or it can c han~e the rules.

At SUNY, even budgeted purchases must be individually approved - in ad\-ancc - by the state's comptroller a nd Office of Ccner.tl Services, a process tem1ed "pre-a udiL" (Traditi onal audits also take place in the state system: the)' are krlOYm as "post-audits.") The medical ce nter submined a ru·e-audit fonn indicating a cost of approximat~l)' $5.000 Cor operati ng on the kidne)' • donor. But an official in the state's Oepanment of Audit and Control 1·efust>d to autho rize the medical procedure. 1l1e reason : there had bee n no competiti,•e bidding to set a fair market price for the kidney that the Stale proposed to aa:tuil-e. Fonunately. a telephone ca ll to another o ffi cial cleared up this misunderstanding: nevenheless. the episode il lustrates the administrative minutia~' v.ith which SUJ\'Y must contend. Computers Come To Stony Brook New interest in computers led to high enrollm ent in the computer science de!panment at SUJ\tV·Stony Brook in the autumn of 198 1. Enro llrnc nt in the introductory course (a required prerequisi1e for more adva nced courses) was unusually strong. BUL, due to a sho11age of compmer u~ m1inals. man y students had t.o v.-ait in line for as long as rwo hours to complete their coursework: when the tem1 was O\'Cr, roughly half of the -100 st ud ents took in completes or fail ed. -Anxious to prt"vent a recurrence of that disaster in 1he follov.ing a utumn. the department sought. througho ut the winter. to purchase 30 additional compu-ter tenninals. In addition . an emergency schedule was devised thai included keeping t11e computer cemer open until 2 a .m. (later changed to 4 a.m.) and adding a summe r sessio n of the introdudory course. Unfon un a1ely. wh en the Pext school year began, the urgentl)'· needed tem1inals, whose deli"ery had seemed a reasonabl e expectation six months earlier. remained Lied up in the state's purchasing bureaucracy, where the)' were subject to rcvicv.• b)' the central admini st rmion of SUJ\'Y. then hy ""the Division of the Budget (DOB). and then hy the Office of Gcneldl Sel"iccs. TI1 e result: an even worse crisis in th e fall of 1982. During that tenn, two--third s of the students "'·ho signed up for the introductory compUier course either failed. withdrew, or requested incompletes. The te m1inals finall y arri\·cd- in the ~p ring of 19R~\. 4 For Wan t of a R oof. ..

A bid for roof repairs. tota ling $152,000. was appro\'Cd b)' the Division of the Bt;dget in 1976. But., by then. the neglected leaks had caused o ther damage. So in 19i9, the g)'nmasium floor was replaced- at a cost of $53,000. A year later. the ceiling in the auditoriu m and sv.imming pool areas was also replaced - at a cost o f $33.000. In sum , the initial failu re 10 approve roof replacement increased the tOt<d repair bill by SR6.000. SUJ\1\~s That spring. some campuses took no steps to fill vacancies in V""ctrious academic lie lds. in accordance with the hiring freeze. Others made tentative offers. Ob.sel"ring that a campus could not re-assign, say, a specialist in Victorian literature 10 teach electrical engineering, SUNY-CentTal sought to modify the fre eze, and finall y succeeded in July 198.'i- too late to prevent the disruption of summer school staffing. When the new tenn began in the fall , campuses t.hat had made info m1al commitmems to faculty and graduate assista ntS - · in tcchnic-.il violation of the freeze - fared much better than did those that had diligently complied. Cenain l)•. SU IY must accept its fair share of the burden in stalC li scal emergencies like those of 1983. But. in this case, as in the case of statewide tr.tvel bans. it would ha"e l>ecn far less disruptive had SUNY been given an overall finan cial goal to meet a nd then allowed to implement its own finan cia l plan in pursuit of the required fiscal t.arget. Self-help On The Campus Titroughout the U.S.. both public a nd p1ivate in stitutions of higher education have lately sOught to generate supplemcnt.al revenues by deve loping inno\'ative progrdrns, including non credit offerings for adults a nd new uses of the campus. ·n1is is in response to a nationwide cost and revenue squeeze that continues thro ughout highe r education. Elsewh ere in the U.S., vario us campuses are renting domlitories during the summer. selling timber, even co nducting classes in shopping cemers on weekends for working adu lts. Yet at SU state\\ride governmental poli cies actively, if un~""it t~gl)•, discourage such effons. Man y SUI\'Y campuses have o pponunit.ics to generate income from such activities as selling publications at campus ex hibitions, rental of re hearsal and conference spac;e to co mmunity groups, a nd, chieOy, offering noncredit and experime ntal courses to adults in the com muni!)'· Not lo ng ago, for exam pl e, SUNY·Purchase ge nerated $250,000 from such acti\ri tics. The cam pus inte nded to usc a ponion of this revenue to offer mo re pan -time eve ·ng courses sought by area residents in subjects such • s environmental scien ce. th e atu. ~111 d managemcm. Other ponions of 1his reve nue wot~cH>e used to CO\"e r more general ca mpus costs, such as the purchase of cafete ri a food. But in 1983. the Division of the Budget took the positi on, traditional!)' applied to revenues produced hy state agencies. that suc h r~venucs were surplus balances that sho uld l>e retumcd to the slate. They could no t be spc nr at the· di scr~ rio n of rhc c.unpu s. Under sra te policies. the revenues from ongoing campus progrdms. C\'en those th at appear to be self-supJ>Oning or e ntreprcnemial, must be included in the state"'ridc budgeting prOt·ess. TI1ey ca nnot simpl)• rem;1 in eannarkcd fo r the program or the ca mpus that produced them. C\"Cil though that is th e campus' goal. Given the lead times. u ncen ai nty, a nd rigidity of the statewide budgetary process, the upshot throughout SU s syste m has bee n discouragement of inn ovatio n. ine nia in respondin g to com munity interests, and a weakening of mora le a mo ng those who seek (like the ir counte q >a n s elsewhere in hi ghe r education) to help the ir ca mpus soi\"C its own fin a ncial problems. Going Places llmmghout academia, faculty members rely on profe~sional meetings to broaden their kn owledge and to recru•t facuhy members and grnduatc students. During 1982 and 198~. stri ct limits on expense reimbursemcms for OUl-of-state travel were imposed o n all sta te employees.

SUNY'S TRUSTEES: RFSPONSIBILITY NOT MATCHEDBYAUTHORnY By law, and in theory, the state legislature put the trustees in charge of SUNY. For examp l e~ the law gr.tnts them the power to "distribute, expend and administer for SUNY insti tutions such pro1>eny a nd funds as the Stat.e may appropriate there~or." Ime rpreting the law, judicial opinions, including a St:Ue Coun of Appeals ru ling in 1978, have confirmed that tl1 e tn.lstees are responsible. TI1e state lcb,-lslature. said the court, ''vested in tl1 c Board of Trustees of the State Uni\·ersity the same power to admi ni ster the da)'·to-day operations of the State University as trustees of private in stitutions of higher education had been granted." But in praaice the power of S NYs lrustees does not come dose to that of trustees a1 o t11e r universities. public or pri\'3te. It is a common assumption, for example, that in any given year. once the govem o r and the state legislature have dctem1ined th e extent of fundin g fo r SUNY. responsibility for the operation of t.h e universit)'. within its budget, falls to the university itself, under the trustees. In fact. that is not the case. The trustees may bear legal responsibility for SUNY's expenditure of appropriated sums, but, by the mselves. they lack power over how the fund s will be spent once they are appropriated. And if budgetary cutbacks arc required as tl1e yea r unfo lds. the lrustees lack power o ver how and where t11ese will l>e mildc as well. Similarly, because they arc considered pan of a state age ncy, the lrustces of SUJ\tV ilso lack ultimate power over creation of tlll i\'CI_'"Sit)' positions, salaries, educational programs, equipmem purchasing, fellowships. and even the size of their own staff. This situation is "'ri1hou1 parall el in the other 49 stmes. TI1e Commission was shocked to learn how little practical, day·by-day authority can be exercised by llw I>Oard of trustees. an appointive body thought b)' the public to possess authority that it lacks in faCL Va1ious pro\ision s of th e state Finance Law. the state Edut·atio n Law, and reguJ:ujons of the Di visi o n of the Budget, all crafted for im1xmam publi c purposes. nevenh eless product' a result that is at)pical and inappropriaae ''rithin public higher educati o n, name ly. preve nting the lrustccs from exercising final authority over the inst.itutjoil of which they arc lrustees. And. in a classic double-bind. none of these laws a nd procedures e mpower any o thc:r group besides the trustees to take the U1Jstees· place. TI1 e sys1em o ften fun ctio ns adequately on a day-to-day basis, t.hanks to valiant efforts h those iriside SUNY ar1d those througho UI state govemmem wh~ must cope "rith the present stnrau re. But at present. it often appears that no .one has the ultimate responsibili1y for SUNY. At present, for example, once mone}' has been appropriated by the legislature, SUNY. as a state agenq •. is not allowed to spe nd it - unless and until t.he university receives approval of its schedule of f>e rsoml d positions and salaries, and its planned expenditures for maintenance a nd other Of>erations, from the Division of the Budget Nor can SUNY spend money received in tuition receipts, lab fees, o r revenues from the sa le of tickets to campus theauicals unl ess and until the sa me kind of approval is received - in advance, for each particular category- from DOB. To shift a secretarial positjon a1 one campus, say, from the deanJs office to the admissio ns office, is beyond th e power of the campus president., the chancellor of the university, and the university's board of trustees - unless any o r all of thesc: officials have first received the approval of DOB, a process tha"t !ypically requires 30 days and numerous pieces of paper. Other regulations apply to a benumbing number of items: hiring above the minimum salary, addin~ staff, making promotions, printing course listings, plan mng for graduate fellowships, defining .geographic pay differentials, etc. W. Clarke Wescoe, chai nnan of Sterling Drug Inc. a nd former dtancellor of tl1c University of Kansas, offered the following reaction after leami ng of the detailed control exercised O\'er all aspec:ts of the managcnwnt of SUNY: "New York state runs its university like it run~ its prisons." h may be painful for New Yorkers to acknowledge it., but, "'rith only limited exceptions. thai statement is literall y true.

Recently, the campus at Stony Brook and SUl\"}~""s cemral admini stration began an cxtraordinal)' round of consultatio ns with the Oi\ision of the Budget TI1c aim of this trilateral consulmtio n was finding funds for rese;~rc h equipment that was needed to retain the services of o nt• Stony Brook facuh y member who was tempted by o ffers of access to modem equipment from three other in stiiUtions. In that negotiation, a shifl of funds was arranged. But at about the same Lim e, Sto ny Brook lost the chairman of•its depanmem of microb iology and three other faculty members. a lo n g Y.rith their research grants, experime nts, technician s, and. it is like ly. ma n )' o f their graduatt students and postdoctoral fell ows.

The predictable result is that SUNY is weake ned in the NY's competitio n for faculty ta le nt. 1n gen eral. all of unh•e rsiry centers are exposed to a n unusual!)' high ri sk of acade mic .. raids," beca use deans a nd camp us presidents have strict limits pl aced o n the ir negoti at ing fl exibility. It can take 10 or 15 yea rs to build a to p de panment; faculty .depanures can undo much of th e achie\•emcnt in a single year. It is not reason abl e, workable, o r in the interest of SUNY a nd Ne w Yo rk statC to require a trilateral negotiation througho ut a statewide system CVC I)' time a valued faculty member receives a competiti\'e o ffer.

RECOMMENDA'FIONS ON MANAGEMENT FLEXIBiliTY l. Legislation should be adopted to reslrUcturt: SUNY as a public benefit corporation . We are aWare that undertakings of this magnitude can easily be neglected by leaders under the pressures of day to day affairs. In the hope of reminding all concerned of the priority this Commissio·n attaches to the need for a fundamental cha,nge in's.UNY's structure, members of this Commission 9;1~ expressed their readi ness to reconvene as event.s warrant to review steps takeh toward the restructuring o f SUNY. 2 • ~ tests to be met by any new suucture d ~·el oped for SUNY, the Comm ission sets out below four criteria. which a re based on the concepts o f lump-sum budgeting. Lhe priority of educational goals in the ma nagement o f SUNY, local variatio n, a nd management decentralization. A.. The state share of oper.uing suppon for SUNY should be provided in a lump sum, by which is meant that the trust~ should have discretion as to ahe aJlocation of these funds, as well as the discretion to shift funds among budget categories. Upon the recommendation of the chancellor, SUNY's trustees should in tum provide lump-sum funding to the campuses. by which it is meant that each campus should retJUn th<o ability 10 shift funds within a levd of total funding and to expend those funds in accordanc~ with the policies of the trustees. B. The concepl of the lump sum should apply "" well 10 any budget cud>acks that may be required from time to time by shortfalls in state revenues. That is, in the case of such ahortCO:lls, the trusl~s should have discretion to apponion any re.::w.-.<1 cutbacks among budget catqories and among campuses. and, within the D'liStces• apportionment, each campus should have diSC~"etion as to which areas to reduce. C. In accordance with policies established by the trust~es. campuses shall have the ability to generareo their own supplemental revenues and to gen~rate periodic "surpluses" that can be spent on e nnchmem and other operations. so thai rt'ductions in suppbn are not W inevitable. and deadening. consequence of succnsful innovation.

In gene ral, it sho uld be recogn ized that the education , research, and public service provided b); SUNY does not ti\ke place from me top down, but from the bouom up. These acti"ities take place in Lhe individual classroom. in the lab.. and in Lhe community, due to individual effons by faculty members. students, and citizens. Significant benefits often result from viewing the syste m as a whole. and sound manage me nt of scarce public resources requires that resources and needs be balanced throughout the system: Nevertheless, what justifies the entire ap~1ftt41 of SUNY is what happens in ind.i\.idual classrooms, , labs. libraries. and communities. Where choices 1 · must be made. the maximum possible deference should be paid, in ascending order of im_portance,J " to the indi\'idual campus, the single acadeqtic depanmeo~ tho individual faculty 01ember, and, whe re appropriaie.~ the indivi'duai' studenL The ' primary reason this Coaunission has called for the creation of a new SblJcture under the SUNY t.mstees, a nd greater Oex.ibility for the administrators of SUNY, is that we ~li eve that only . by this means will there be continued improveme nt in S~s teaching, research, and community sci'VI.ce. SUNY'S CONFIGURATION: THE UNPLANNED SYSTEM I . r - Dmtald M. Blinltm, ~ SUNY's booni af ,._ t~s ~thin t he; di;enity of campus SUNY·is unique, reflecti ng hi sto rical circumstances more than deliberate, consistent institutional plan ni ng. It is rare to include in the same adrninistrati"e structure cornmunit)' colleges, f~u r-yea r colle,ges, uni\'ers.ity centers, and health scie nces centers. Also un usual is New York's reliance upon fi"e specialized a nd di stinguished "statuiOry" colleges �9 contraaed to i~dependent u ni\·ersities (at Corne ll, colleges of Agnculture a nd Life Science. Veterinary Medici ne, and Huma n Ecology, and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations; at Alfred, Ce-ramics). Alth?u~h su~ began as a dive rse amalgam, the Commassaon beheves that the exiSlencc of the system represents poweliul advantages for New York and SUNY At least potentially, the system provides an opponuniry · for Sl)NY to mo nitor a nd real locate resources based on a statewide assessme nt of needs and strengths in the public sector. l~t provides a much-needed opponunity for SUNY to exerosc educational leadership, to integrate, to balance, and t? make distinctions as required We rejea any effon to dzsmamle SUNY, and we wish to affinn the potential for SUNY, as a system, to play a vital leadership role. SHOULD CAMPUSFS BE CLOSED? Since at least the mid-1970s, as planners have predictc.od striking ~nro llm em declin es, the re ha\'e been persistent concerns over whether SUNY is "overbuih" or has "excess capacity." The college at Purchase, for example. has classrooms and laboratories for 6,000 st udenLS, but enrolls only about half that number. Simi larly. the university's rural residemial campuses han· fo und it harder to meet enrollment Largets than the urban and suburban campuses, which h3\'C a-~any commuting and older students. Several faas suggest that the main issue is less o ne of total r.apacily than an issue of distrilmtion of faci lities. For example: • New York state is a net expon er of college stude nts, as noted earlie r. Were SUNY to reco\'er just one-half of the present net loss of New York students to other states' public uni\'ersities, the number of additio nal students could offset even extre mely pessimistic forecasts of futu re declin e at th e state-operated campuses. • So far, at least, the prediaed e nrollment declin es have been reassuringly small and well within SUNY's capacity to hahdle. In pan. this is due to increasing panicipation by o lder adults a nd part-ti me stude nts. as wel l as an increase in college anendance .among women. • Some individual campuses have see n application s decl ine, bin, for the system as a who le, aggregate demand remains ncar its historic high poinL • While the pool of New York high sc11ool graduates wi ll continue to shrink through the 1980s. demograph y indicates that du ring the; 1990s. the f>OOI of high school gradu a~cs will ag-..tin begin to grow. lim ited. gai n_s could result from closing a small number of SUNY's smaller and less efficient unitsassuming that SUNY could retain and redirect the financia l resources t.o strengthen the rest But a1 present le\'els of e nro llme nt. the Commissi011 considers closing o ne o r more SUl\fY ca mpuses to be a solution whose rosts--;in reduced smdent access, as we ll as in political divisiveness- OUiweigh the benefits !hat could be reali zed. Moreover. to implemem such a solution with v.isdom in Lhe fut ure, New York state will require a decision-making mechanism that gives greater weight to SUNY's Statev.ride needs and agenda tha n is prcsent.ly pro\rided. Nevcnh eless. and entirely apan from the demograph y of the corning decade, the Commission is comrinced that New York state has paid a h igh price for its e xcessive dispersal of small SUNY n mpuses throughout th e state, which creates disecono mi es of sca le. l11e dispersio n imo many sma ll ullits has made SUNY costly tc operJ te in the paSL, and it will make SUl\TY costly to openue in the future. Reconsideration of the issue of campus closi ngs will be appropriate in the future. At present. we believe that the priority need is to impro\'C the q uality, and the e ffi cie nq . of what happe ns wit hin th e buildinbrs. rather than to reduce their number. COMMuNITY COLLEGFS At SUNY. community colleges..a re part of the same statewide system that includes senior campuses. a situatio n unique to New York. State fund s presently average about one-t.hird of the community college budgets; a similar amount is paid by local sponsors, which an: typically county govemme nlS, a nd me balance is provided by student tuition . Responsibility for o ngo ing college management rests prim arily with local boards. under broad SUNY poli c i ~s. More than o nce in rece nt years it has been suggested that it would be "tidier" to reorganize the community colleges as a separate system. Yet. the Commission found t.hat comm unity college admini strators, facu lty, and studen ts all are strongly in favor of remaining under the SUNY umbrella. Both un iversity policy and state law have give n great flexibility to the community colleges. The ~a lleges see a num ~>rr of key advantages in the present struaure, including: 1) bener coordinatio n ofindi\idual cam pu s interests: 2) sharing of resources. facilities. and information \\rit.h SUNY senior campuses; and 3) SUN\r s guarantee that gr.tduates of community college academic programs ca n transfe r (with appropriate credit) to fouryea r SUNY ca mpuses. Most of the community co ll ege students see k vocational, two-rear degrees, but roughly 14 perce nt of the graduates tra nsfer to SUNY fo ur·yea r institutions (and more than :tooo others annuall )' transfer to SUNY senior institmio ns before recei\ing an associate degree). The Commi ssio n bel ie\'es that ties between SU 1Y and the community coll eges shou ld be stre ngthe ned. At prese nt. for example, agreements for the tr.m sfer of community coll ege students to S NY se ni o r ra mpusc:·s a rc negOLiated on a campus-by-ca mpus basis. rather than mo re broadly. The statewide system provides additio na l opportunities for SUNY's academ ic and administrati\'C leaders hi p. a sourc(· of potential benefit to the community colleges in addition to SUl\"Jrs more passi \'e role as the co nduit of state funds. Some loca l community colleges report persiste nt problem s in securin g loca l sponsor finan cial support. In some cases. an appropriate solution ma )' be rtgional commun ity colleges. with spo nsors dmwn from two or more local areas, and with a stre ngtht•ned role fo r a regional board of trustees. ln addition , study should be made of the possibi lity of state-sponsored commUnity colleges in areas with unusually small Lax bases; such colleges would receive an increased proponion of state finan cial suppon. coupled \\ith an ii1creased number of trustees i.tpJ>Ointed by the govemor.

The Commission makes this recommendation because we believe that it is in the interests of the state as a whole for SUNY to maintain a statewide pe.rspecti\·e and comprehensive ~nSlbiJiry for the stat~ 's efforts in public higher education. 2. As e nrollment!, required facilities. and resources change in the future, the mix of SUNY's programs will demand continuing scrutiny. SUNY's board of trustees should have the dear responsibility for achieving ·c ooperation amo ng programs at different campuses and integration of programs as required. 3. The central administration should review campus protedures for the justificatkm of all classes with low enrollments. Such justifications should also ~ revi~ periOdically by appropriate campO! deans in consultation with vice presidents for academic affia.in. 4. To assist the board of trustees' ongoing review of SUNY's con6gur.ation, top-level, professional studies should be made to propose plans for a) more efficient use of existing resourtts; b) downsizing of programs or amp~ whe n: n~ry and eflkienr; and c) ~ng additional practical ways for much greater sharing of specialized facilities among SUNY campuses, incl uding, for example, joinl3ppointments.joint registration, multicampus program sponsorship, and shon ..(et111 exchanges of faculty mem~rs. 5. Where IOC3l suppon or local facilities arr inadequate, SUNY should take the lead in e ncouraging consolidation of oommuni1y colleges imo regional community co lleges. 6. The possibility of state-sponsored community colleges as an approadl for uae in areas with e~mely limited _tax bases should receive continued study. 7. SUNY should worlc. with Slate government. community college tnlStee:s, and representatives of local campus sponson to clarify the differences in responsibility among community college governing boards, county governments, and the colleges· executive and fap1lcy leadership.

This Commission does not believe that the solution to the \'Cry reaJ concerns of ·Cornell lies in creation of yet another state mechanism for dealing with the statutory colleges. Rathe r, the solution lies in an adequate response to the needs of public higher education throughout the 5UJ\rv system. The statutory colleges at Cornell, operated by an indepe ndent institution, are examples that lend added weight to the repeated requests made in recent years by SUNY's board of trustees for additio nal modernization of facilities, recovery of deferred funds for plant mai nte nance, and program en han cement at SUNY's • state-<)perated campuses: • Faculty workloads merit con cern . Bec:\o\·een 1974 and 1983, enrollmem at SUNY"s state-supported campuses grew by 2,800 students (measurro by a full-time equivalen t average).

In the years since 1974, state tax suppon for SUNY has not kept pace with inflation. By 1983-84, th e Higher Education Price index, prepared by Research Associates of Washington , had more than doubled. Yet tax suppon for SUt\'Y's state-operated :lnd statutory campuses had ri se n on l)' 60 percent, and some of those funds were not available to offset inflation since ·they were eannarked for n ew programs. ~ The most reliable state-by-state com parisons of the finan cing of higher ed ucation are published ann uall)' by Kent Ha lstead o f the National In stitute of Education.• Ha lstead's data provide a mixed picture of New York's present level of funding for current operati ons of public higher education. TIH~ average New York taxpayer pa)'S less fo r public higher ed ucation th a n do taxpayers in rough I)• ha lf of the states. In 1983-84, New York's state and local funding-for public higher education a\'er.Jged $ 11 6 per citizen.u a figure that places 1cw York below Texas. California. and Wisconsin (and New Mexico. Mi ssissippi, and Kansas). among Olher states. New York would place C\'en lower if the above ranking were adjusted for cost-of-living differences among states. Yet , New York's rate of e nroll mem in the publi c sector {students prr capita) is about 18 percent below the national nonn. \Vh en scudenc load is taken into account, it is clear that New York spends substantially more than • a\'erage ptT studn'il on public higher education.

Significamly. a comparison of SU 1Y with the respected institutions in the American Association of Universities (AAU) shows that the workload at SUNY's university centers is a great deal higher than the 3\'erage workload in the AAU.

SUNY'S REHABILITATIONIREPAIRPROGRAM 1974-75 THROUGlf 1984-85 (NEED VS. APPROPRIATIONS) Millions 97.8 $100 - r- - - 90 It ---!! NEED APPRC PRIAT D I 80 I 7 f8 Debt Service In compari son with other states, New York's state and local appropriatio ns are not as high as they appear. Th e reason is that SUNY has less tuition reven ue available to cover educational operating costs than does a ny other state system in lhe US. SUNY does collect greater-thana\'erage tuition re\'e nues; net tuition at SUNY's stateoperated campuses averaged $1 ,175 per Sludent in 198384. u But most of these reven ues are used, as required by law, to repay co nstruction debts incurred in the construction of SUNY's academ ic buildings. According to the National Center fo r Education Statistics, New York slate owes 22 percent of the tola.l indebtedness in the nation incurred for the construction of public university buildin~. Curre ntly, the debt sen~ce SUNY must pay averages $1.050 per stude m at SUNY's state-operated campuses. That leaves SUNY only $125 in net tuition revenue per student to cover current operati ng costs-a n a mount lower than th at available in Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia, and every other state S)'Ste m in the U.S. At SUNY. the tuition revenue avai lable for operations is S923 be l o ~o~.• the nationa l average. Including debt sen •icc on academic constmction, the total state and local tax appropriation for public higher education is above th e national average for opemtions that Hal stead computes by $1,324. But at SUNY. much of the incremem-$923 per studem-merel)' offsets the fact that there are atypica l prior claims on tuition receipts. Vinually no other state pays for the constmction of academ ic buildings out of uni\'ersity-gcnerated revenues as d~ New York.*** Scattering the Sites Another unusual cost fact.o r at SUl\1)' is the multitude of small campuses built throughout tl1e state, primaril)• in response to popular and political pressures. Small campuses ha\'e some inherent educational advantages, but they are financially less efficient on a per-student basis. This Commission's review of enrollments in ten large state systems indicates that, in comparable states. the a\'erage enrollment per campus is 9,094; at SUNY's state-operated campuses, the average is 4.710, or just 52 percent of the average for other large states. TI1is helps to explain why SUNY's operational expenditurrs per student are considerably above national averages for public education (al though ~low those of the independent seaor in New York). Both the debt service and SUNY's multitude of small campuses are continuing costs of decisions made by the state as SUNY de\'eloped. While wr recognize the impact of these unusual costs on public education in New York, this Com mission believes it is poor policy to deb it toda)•'s research and educational aaivities to pay for New York's historic delay in creati ng SUNY, and to pay for dispersing SUNY in to many small units. These Y.'Cre decisions of the state as a whole. Therefore, this Comm ission believes that these costs should be home by the stat.e as a whole, not by the present and futu re generations of students and scholars. The path to the future is not traversed merely by paying past debts. Today. th e priority need is upgrading the research and educational programs that take place within SliNY's buildings. These e fforu a re the reason that the high debt senice a nd tl1c dispersed campus stmcture were created in the fi rst place. / 70 6 9· . r--.!.\9-' 60 50 I 40 21 1.9 30 20 84, New York's slate and local appropriations per stude nt for public educationaJ operations, including CUNY, were the sixth highest in the nation, $4,764 per full-time stude nt This is $914 more than the national average. Academic construction costs at SUNY increase New York's tola.lto $5, 164 per student One question that naturally occurred to this Commission is Why is SUNY so obviously in need of additional suppon when New York's per-srudent appropriation is so much gre:ater than the national average?

This cost is at)'l>ical, and the Commission judges it to be substantial j ohn Whitehead, senior panner at Goldman, Sachs & Co .. makes the point as follows: 'The ki nd of restraints that exist now lead to wasteful expendiwres a nd tenible inefficiencies. If these are e liminated, it wi ll save money as well as improve the education" that SUNY provides. Fonunately, the enrollment decl ines anticipated in the next ten years mean that it will be possible to enhance SUNY without the pain of adding a ful l dollar ol appropriations above today's level for each dollar spent on enhanceme nt As long as appropriations do not decline in lockstep with enrollment. SUNY and New York state will have ·a much-needed opponunity to spend more fJt'r studenl without dollar-for-dollar increases in toLal funding levels. academic and support. faci lities, and 5.55 million for residential facilities), enhancement of research, recruitment of o utstanding faculty members, recruitment of outstanding students both in state and out of st.ate, reduction of faruhy workJoads, and en hancement of educational programs. 2. Nationally. the average percentage of state and· l~al tax reven ues devoted to public higher education opera- tions was 10.2 perce nt in 1 ~3-84 . In New York, it was 6.-7 percent. Although use of any single benchmark can be misleading, New York state should seek. as a goal. to equal or exceed the national average in the percentage of state and local tax revenues provided to public higher education for current operations. with appropriate adjustments. The adjusunents we suggest are the fo llowing: a) a reduaion to account for New York's lower than average pan.icipatio n per capita in public highe r edlU:ation ; b) an increase to reflea SUf\'Ys youth and need 10 catc.h up; and c) an inci-ease to reflect the increased costs SUNY ENROLLMENT 6. A "cap" on co nsu-uction debt currently limits SUNY's indebtedness to $3 billion. Outstanding debt now totals $2.2 billion, down from a high of $2.6 bill ion. Sho uld the current prdctice of funding capital investment continue, language defining the "'cap" should be amended to limit SUNYs "outstanding" obligations, rather than its "issued" obligations: the point is to allow SUNY to incur new debt as old debt is retired, up to the limit of the "cap." 7. Projections sho uld be made of funds to be freed over time as academic construction debts are retired. In t11e future. suppo11 levels for SUNY shou ld be defi ned explic. id)' 10 allow such "freed" amounts, or funds that fonne rl )' went to retire <~ C<~dcmic constructio n debts, to be used as additional , supplcmc rual suppon fo r SUNY operations. in excess of preS<' Ill funding le\'cls. 8.

NPR's news staff covers the globe-erage of world events is prov ided by rs a ~mall world - these words are a cliche for most people, but for news organizat io ns , they represent a mandate that is both costly and complicated . For National Pub· lie Radio and its member stations throughout the country, covering news from around the world can be · even more awesome due to restricted budgets and limited personnel. But they have devised a successful and effective system to bring the highest quality coverage from London . Moscow. w Delhi, Johannesburg. or any oth.er point on the globe , into America's homes. offices, and cars. Central to NPA 's foreign news coverage is a team of journalists. headed by Foreign De'sk Editor Paul Allen . wh ich mon itors events around the world from Washington , D.C.. headquarters. Allen. along with Associate Producer Cadi Simon and Assistant Producer Peg Shea (currently filling in tor Simon who is on maternity leave), coord inates all reports about developments abroad tor NPR's two awardwin ni ng newsmagazines All Things Considered and Morning Edition. For the U.S. view. they call upon their Washington - based colleagues. Diplomatic Correspondent B ill Buzenberg and State Department reporter Katharine Ferguson. For overseas coverage , Allen and Simon are in constant touch with Neal Conan. chief of NPR 's London Bureau. which is headquartered in the British Broadcasting Corporation's External Services facilities. In addition to rece ivi ng Conan 's reports about the United Kingdom and events in Europe, NPR maintains a contractual relationship with the BBC wh tch provides information services . technical support and rebroadcast rights for BBC reports. Much of NPR 's on-the-spot cov- agroup of "stringers," professional I free-lance reporters, in most strategic areas overseas. " We have every im portant part of the world covered by our stringers e,.cept for India and the U.S.S.R.. and we are working on that," says Allen . He adds that NPR plans to send Conan and Producer Deborah Amos to the U.S.S.R. soon to prepare reports on the 40th anniversary of the Yalta Conference. the historic event attended by Winston Churchill , Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin. who decided the post-war fate of Europe. The spe- cial segments will air the week of February 4 on All Things Considered and Morning Edlllon. Allen hopes that this visit will lead to a greater NPR presence there so ..we can help public radio listeners better understand Russia. " Our system for covering foreign news has matured considerably in the past two or three years." says Allen . " We are very fortunate to have a talented group of fu ll-time reporters and free- lancers who love and understand radio . and are able to use the medium to capture the immediacy and flavor of world events."

BU~fAlO � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.
