In the Nov. 5. 1992 issue of

shares his annoyance about

offers spme Iaine excuses.
But apart from private perils. there are
public perils in our parking policy, Io whteh
I want to alert you.
The Union and SUNY don't see eye,toeye on the impoSition ol an annual parking
fee. An amount of $132/year would make
lhe parking operation (paving, painting.
snow removal) se~-sirlficienl, and SUNY
proposes !hat such a user-fee be levied.
freeing up funds for matters educational
The Union strenuously resists sUch a
leVy. It remains a contentious issue, and
by way of compromise the current contract
contains a discussion opener on this matter. I hope lhese discussions will be openminded. and ultimately open-pursed.
The reason is this: We lose miJch more
in goodwill from the community and understanding in the legislature than we save in
pockeL-money. When last I spoke to Bill
Hoyt, whose dealh we mourn. he stated
lhat lhis minor irritant was a major reason
why lhe university, though clearly heard.
was not heeded in Albany.
It would be a worthy testimonial to lhis
good man ff we listened to him.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

The convocation, e&lt;&gt;·Sponsorcd by Roche

on the use of DNA testing.
Advances in molecu lar biology and genetics on DNA testing are phenomenal and· the
new technologies being developed pose great
promise in health care and in the legal system,
where the courts are confronted with forensic
evidence and paternity cases. Boyer said.
These DNA techniques. Which are increasingly being used in the judicial process. have
great power in identifying defendants in both
crimi naJ and civi l proceedings.
·
However. these technologies are oot perfect. a series of speakers pointed out. and they
may posecthicaJ dilemmas when viewed in the

A panel of lawyers and an immunologist

convocation spcaker.alsofr.uncd DNA testing in
an historical context by citing how in the past
groups such as lhe Nazis and eugenicists have
used biological ttaits 10 define race and as justifi-,

Science could misuse biological testing.
Marcus said. citing ways that the knowledge

vocation was paren tage. panicularly paternity. which has been scrut inized by many
cultures for thousands of years. " History has
demonstrated often creative ways of dctenninin g who is father and who is not," said Scoll
Friedman. a partner in the Buffalo law finn of
Cohen· Swados Wright Hanifin Bradford &amp;
Brei I.
Friedman described some of the ways societies have handled questions of paternity. Many
societies have used physical resemblance between the child and father. Friedman said.

if the resemblance was not close enough. the
child was ki lled.

However. Reic h did caution that many of

Gary Stuhlmiller. an immunologist for

DNA "is lhe basis for all genetic diversity" and
that "less than one-tenth of one percent (of

Most labcmuories use highly stringent critena in their protocols and "don't rely on a

'Family offenses' on increase: law school

adds clinical program on domestic violence
By SUE WIIETCHER

News Bureau Staff

HE STATISTICS are stanling.
• 111e New York Slate Division

T

of Criminal Jus\ice Services re-

ceived 90,001 police repons of
"family offen~ s" in 1988. an increase of 130 percent 111 five y~ .
• The Buffalo Police Depanmenr logged
19.026 call.1. mvolvmg "domestic trouble" in
1990. an aver.tge of about 52 calb a day.
• Five of the 18 homicide C&lt;bes that occurred in Buffalo during rhc first three monrhs
of 1992 involved domestic disputes.
Statistics dealing with battered women will
continue to escalate until these survivors are
empowered to end the violence in r'neir live~
and the lives of their children, say Catherine
Cerulli and Su1.anne Tomkins. clinic instructors in the Legal Assistance Program in the UB
School of Law.
Family violence survivors have unique legal problems requiring attorneys with specialized Lraining.
"These women arc often at their lowest
point of self-esteem; they are incrisi~.-·Tomkin!-.
~ys . "They :tre in a dangerou!'. situation wilh
the battcrcr. They probably have inadequate
financial rcsourcc!'.,scveml children and would
be homeles!'. if they left the battercr.
"These factors. plu~ low self-esteem. make
11 difficult for these women to know what their
legal options arc:· she note~ .
Funhemmre. many of the not-for-profit
agencies that help victims of family vio lence
have experienced ma!o!oive cuts in ·fund;ng a~d
are severely understaffed. Cerulli add&gt;.
To hel pmeetthe legal needs of these women.
the UB School of Law h:~&gt; added a domestic
violence componem to it!'. clinical program.

The program, headed by Cerulli and Tomkins.
currently is operating pan-time with foyr stu- ·
denlS, but will expand to full-time status in
January. pending funding .
While most law school clinical programs
traditionally handle p~ings for clients in
such areas as legal and health issues for the
elderly. rights of the poor or disabled and
immigration law. the new UB clinic is tackling
an issue that Cerulli calls "a societal epidemic.··
"Thb violence · · a continuing cycle." she
says. ··umil the cycles and patterns are broken.
it never will change.

"Violence is a continuing .
cycle; until the cycles and
patterns are broken, it
never will change."
.C:AntERINE CERUW

"Weare ina posiuon to be proactive through
education and dissemination of material."
··A lot ofwomenarefalling through the cracks:·
1'omkins ad&lt;b. "They don·, qualify for free aid
!due to the int'Ome of the batterer). but they have
no money of their own for an anomey."
l11e ~ tudents in ihe cl1n1c are helping survtvon. of family violence 111 a variety of ways:
• Serving a!&gt; intern~ with Eric County
Family Coun to set up a supervised vi!-.it.ation
program for family member.;. Law students
also have held internships with the Erie County
District Attorney 's Office and with Haven
House. a shelter for battered women.
• Preparing a presentation on how the

precincts within the Buffalo Police Depanment handle domestic disputes and assisting in
the development of a pro-arrest policy.
• Working with the Erie County OiSirict
Al1Qmey's Victim Witness Assistance Program.
• Preparing a training manual on doplestic
violence for the staff of E,vewywoman Opportunity Center. a displaced homemakers' center
that provides training and suppon for women
emcring or re-entering the workforce.

.,.\e

clinic also will be assisting the Erie
I County Legal Community Domestic Violence Project. in which several legal groups are
attempting to provide a full-time attorney to
work in Family Coun for family offense pro&lt;.."CCdings. Students would panicipate in the
project as advocates and clerks.
The idea for the clinic-developed from a Jaw
school Domestic ViolenceTask.ForcelhatCerulli and Tol)lkins had helped set up while they were
''lUdents at the school. The task force. in its thinl
year. has several extracurricular projects wxler

of protectioo in family and criminal coons.
Setting up a clinical program to help survivors of domestic violence brings the issue into
the law school curriculum. with students receiving academic credit for their work. It gives
~tudc nts hands-on experience. while providing the communi ty an invaluable resource.
Cerulli and Tomkins say.
·
"Book knowledge can be dry without some·
thing to make it come alive."'{omkins says.
"Anything that provides the bigger picture
and a greater understanding of all the element!.
involved (in the issue) can't help but enhance
education."

INDING A major courre of study
has always been complicated for
undergraduates. But that may be
changing at UB because of a new
publication, The Rainbow Book, according to Peter Gold, assistant vice provost of
the Undergraduate College.
The book lists all of UB's undergraduate
majors. minor. and programs in every cour&gt;e
of study, he said. Each major has four pages to
outline itself as a courre of study ...It came
about because we began to rethink what we
were doing during freshman orientation. We
used to have faculty sit behind tables and talk
to srudents about their program offerings. But
the questions from students were often simple
ones. And it is these kinds of questions that ate
addressed in the book. ..
Gold explained that several groups had
been working separately to gather the same
kind of information about three years ago. " I
decided to do these simple infonnationalsheets
about three years ago. And the P.""Pie from
Advisemen~ Admissions, Student Life and
Academic Servi.;;,. were 1:9llecting similar
infonnation. ··he said. "So we combined forces
to collect the data and my office offered to put
it together:·
The book offer. detailed descriptions of all
the core cou=s offered by the Undergraduate
College, as well as infonnation on each major
and minor field of study offered for undergraduates at UB. Also included is infonnation
about various special programs an6 awaids
thatundelllfllduatesmight find interesting. The
books have been distributed to all academic
advisors. to staff in ~offices of Admissions.
Student Life and Undergraduate Academic
Services. as well as to all deans and department
chairs. said Gold.
"Students are offered single sheets from
this book to take with them. And we also pu1
copies of all the 1heets in UGL." he said. "Each
department was allowed four pages to outline
their programs. The srudents are given pages
one and two. Pages three and four are given to
advisors so that they may speak with students
about depanmental requirements an&lt;j.:thlngs

"My understanding ...is that

olit ofthe place."
interest in ihese shee~. And they've been very
useful in advising students," she said. ''They
have provided a greater variety of infol'llljltion
beyond that supplied in the college catalog."

CN!e noted that the book has also made life
ii/11 easier for advisors. '" It has made our advising mOre comprehensive because nOw the
adVisors have one soun:e that provides general
infonnation about what each major demands
of a studen~" said Noonan.
"And for students. who sometimes don ' t
understand the difference between a major and
an occopation. these sheets give specific examplesof jobs they could obtain after completing whatever course of study they choose to

pursue."
Gold said that The Rainbow Book was
possible only through • e~ormous cooperative
effon with various campus offices and numerous graduate assistants. ··And it seems as if it·s
working. My under.tanding from UGLand·the
abdemic advisors is that these pages are just
leaping out or the plai:e ...
He also noted that he was unaware of any
other college or university which listed all of
the special awards and programs that are offered within each undergraduate major.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

OON our differences. al least we
can help make the world safe for d iversity." The U~iversity at Buffalo, as a publte
research university serving all the people. seel&lt;s to help make the wor1d safe for
diversity. We also see!&lt;, not to end, but toembracethedifferencesamong us. for these
d'tfferences enrich us, enhance our mutual understandings, and off";' us a wealth of
possibilities for Cleating new unders~ings together in service to our people.
These fMinciples underlie UB's;lbn9:standing policy of equal access to all
educational and employment opr;btuM1es. We at UB are deeply comm1tted to
upholding the state and federal Ia~ that proJect any and all people-who see!&lt; such
access, regardless of age. religion or c reed . color. disability, nalional "'ig in, race.
ethnicity, sex, and marital or veteran status. UB al~ observes and embraces the
principles of Governot Cuomo's Executive Order Number 28, which p rohib its
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; in addition, we subscribe to the SUNY
Board of Trustees' policy which requires that no judgment concerning any member
of our ~niversity community shall be based on personal preferences, such as sexual
orientation and private expression, which- are unrelated to performance.
Our adherence to such policies and regulations is more than a matter of necessary
compliance. The diversity of perspective and experience we foster by welcoming any
and all to UB is indispensable to our fundan'lental academic enterprise. which is
predicated upon the exchange and exploration ·of ideas. In such an enterprise.
diversity is a source of vigor . The presence of faculty, staff, and students from all walks
and ways of Jije can only enrich us and stimulate us to learn and grow.
Insofar as service to our many and varied publics is primary 10 US's mission as a
public research university. openness to an array of cultures and concepts is 9Jsovital
to our pertonnance of this mission. We must actively promote diversity in our university
community in order that we may more fully reflect and respond to the needs of the
increasingly diverse society we serve. We at UB must prepare ourselves and our
people for the 21st century by continuing to educate ourselves about our d ifferences,
and by aggressively maintaining our long-standing commitment to recognizing and
rewarding the achievements of all members of our university community. In so doing,
we will promulgate !he human d ignity and tolerance which are so esSential lo our
national ideal and idel)lity.

harassment; the provosi and vice presidents have responsibility for ensuring compl~

responsibility to preserve and defend the rights and dignity of every member of the
UB community. Let us do so assidUOUsly. in our units and departments and in our own

Hqw do you warn ftiture

generations about t;he peril of poisoned land?

By ~ WATEJIIiousE

Reporter Staff

IN THE PREHISTORIC SALTBEDS of~ew Mexico. about25 miles from
Carlsbad. there is a massive. emp1y gravesite. one-&lt;juarter mile deep and
three-&lt;juaners of a mile square. surrounded by barbed wire and metal
outhouses.

Initiated in the 1950s as the innocuous-sounding Operation Salt Vault. the

SU billion site is intended by the Federal government to house 500,000
barrels of radioactive waste.

The contents sound relativelY beilign: laboratory gloves. old shoes.
lengths of tubing and piping. And .indeed some of it is merely "high-level''
waste. which is to say that it will remain highly dangerous for only a
companuively shon time.

But what Mike Brill calls "the probability of intrusion" also applies to
future generations. The Department of Energy has already estimated tbal)he
drums themselves will corrode in 20 years. leaving their contents to SJRa&lt;l

gases. This in itself is' a problem. one that the DOE has yet to resolve to its
satisfaction. After that. and only if all goe; well, they can guarantee control
of the waste for only another century.
The DOE has therefore attempted to conceive of a p\an to prevent future
cultuTes from disinterring the radioactive waste from its burial ground ui the
shifting sands of New Mexico.
"I spoke with some Europeans about this. and someone told me thai France ·
says it can guarantee protection of its waste for the next500 years," says Brill.
'That struck me as typical: the arrogance that assumes the continuance of the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

marl&lt;et dropped 508 points on that
date. lronically. the only other capital
campaign in the university's history
was launched on Oct 17. 1929. 12

Through a variety of activities that -build

Evitts. who joined UB in October 1991.
pointed out that as the needs of the university
increase. it is vital to tum to the UB family of
alumni for assistance. Alisistance doesn''t just

been during the la&gt;t few years that UB has
made an institutional commitment with reMJurces for the A-'isociation to encour.:ige more
alumni participation. Evitts said. This is particularly important today in light of economic
woes in the state and throughout the nation. he
noted.
During the mid- '80s resources were proVIded so that the Alumni Association could

Two other highly successful related programs involving Alumni Relations with the

arc the UB-Link Program and the Career Network ing Program.
UB-Link puts students in touch with Westem New York alumni so that students can get

said Debra Palka. assistant direCtor of lhe
Alumni Relations Office. While this program
began only in May 1991. it had linked up 75
students with alumni by the beginning of 1992.
The Career Networking Program staned as

NCEER to receive $14 million funding for highway studies

T

he National Center for Earthquake
·
Engineering Research (NCEER),
headquartered at UB. wdl receive more
than $14 mi Ilion from the Fedeml
Highway Administration to support studies on
the vu lnerability 'of federal-aid highways.
bridges and tunnels to earthquakes.
The funding. in the form of two grants. also
wi ll provide for the developme nt of retrofit
technologies for existing systems and design
requirement for future highway construclion.
"'These grants wille~ab NCEER to continue its expansion of i

tructure research

and todeveloppractical ulionstoournalion 's
trnnsportation needs." said George C. Lee,
directorofNCEER and dean of engineering at

tro.

"With
than 4 million miles of roads
and highways and approximately 575.000
bridges across the United SLates, this task is of
major importance. I am particularly proud that
this challenge has been placed in our hands."
A uniquefearureofthe proposed research is
the study of the highway network as an integrated system, rather than a collection of indi-

vidual roads, bridges. embankments or tunnels.
"Assessing a highway system composed of
many interconnected components is more effective lhan evaluating the separate compo-

nents on their own," said lanG. Buckle, deputy
director of NCEER and coordinator of the
proposal and research teams.
"Forexample,"he noted. "highways can be
closed after earthquakes for any number of
reasons- bridges may suffer damage or collapse. embankments may fail, or landslirs

may close access roads. A focus on only one
ortwoofthesecould leave the highway vulner-

able. However. by treating the highway as a
system of components. we are more likely to
ensure that whole highways wi ll be usable
after earthquakes."
h is expected that 15 different univer.;ities
and consultant.• will cooperate on the project.

'rite fma of the two grants. worth $12 mill lion, will fund a six-year comprehensive
study of the earthquake risk to the federal
highwaysystemandthedevelopmentofmethods for evaluating existing highway systems
and cost-effective retrofit technologies to upgradedefocientsystems. 1lie funds were made
available 10 NCEERasa result ofthe Intermodal
Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act
passed by Congress last year.

· The second granl worth $2.2 million, was
awarded to the center through a process that
involved competing proposals. This project
will study the seismic vulnerability of new
highways. tunnels and bridges.- and will devolop technical information from which national g-uidelines can be prepared for
eatthquake-resistant construction of future
highway systems. The project will take four
years to complete.

Study looks at seeds,
what makes them grow
What.,_

aeeda the go-ahead to germinate and grow into plants after
lyingdonnam for weeks or months? Oneofthefll'Slstudicsdirected toward
exploring this mysterious mechanism has lx:glUI at UB.
" How do plants know it's the right time to rone up?" asked Jan
Baldwin. assistant professor of biologicai ·sciences at the Wliversity and
principal investigator. " We know very little about the cues that seeds use
to break dormancy."
Funded by a five-year gr.mt from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation,
Baldwin's current worl&lt; focuses on panicularly dormant populations of
Nicotianaartt'nuaJa,a native tobaccoplanl found in the Great Basin Desert
in Nevada. These plants are of special interest because they will not
germinate even ~hen supplied with appropriate water and nutrients, but
remain donnant mtil after a fire.
The project seeks to W1der.;tand how seeds of this plant "know" when
a fire has occurred, and why germination of this species follows fires.
"All the oormal fire-related gennination cues aren't at worl&lt; in thL'
plant" Baldwin said. "The hope is that if the chemical tri&amp;!,&gt;erinsmoke that
causesgerminalioncantx:isolated,itwooldofferthetanlalinnglong-range
prospect ofallowing rangeland managers to stimulate genninalion without
lighting afire."
Although conrro~od fues tr.Jditionally have tx:en used to promoce
growth of cenain plant species. including Nic01iaJw a"tnuoJa, they are
becoming "diffiCUlt to justify" Baldwin said, pattly because of !he amount
of carbon dioxide such practices put into the atmosphere.

People in Mokhotlong are pnmanly 111 m subsistence agriculture and llve-.toc" . Crops !&lt;.uch as mai1..e. wheat. sorghum

l:k!a~ arc grown. Some households have
beautiful peach and apricot tree~ that provide
delicious fruit a~ well as pink and white
nowers bursting out every spring against lhe
bone dry brownish-red volcanic soils.
Mokhotlong is one of the few places left in
Le."'tho where livestock are . till highly pri7.cd
and represent a family's wealth. •~though this
custom is rnpidly changing. Cattle. sheep and
goats bond the people to the land. in a place
where there is no private owncr.;hip of property. Animals are seasonally moved from Win·
ter krnals near villages to Summer krnals along
steep-sided cliffs deep in the mountains. where
herd boys as young as eight or ten watch the
animaJs. sometimes 110( seeing another human
for months at a time.
The road leading to Mokhotfong Camp.
where we conducled our research. is paved
from the lowlands through Moteng Pass (a
spectacular climb up to over 2800 mete"
and in some places a 19 percent grndient in
the road) and up to the Oxbow ~ge. which
is the halfway point of the journey.
After that the pavement ends and the
"fUn" begins on a well-traveled din road that
is known as the Roof of Africa Road. While
lhis is. the major anery between the district
Cemer and the lowlands. it is a narrow.
stone-ridden road, which ciin be dangerous
during the rainy scasoo.
We knew that a 4-wheel diive vehicle
was mandatory to get through the mountains
during the year. so we bought an old Datsun
4 by 4 truck with balloon tires. an auxiliary
100 liter gas tank and leaking valves. This
truck had been run in the famous Roof of
Africa Rally, which croSses ti)!l'very same
road we were about to travel{so we knew
(prayed) it would survive another eight
months in the mountains.

We renamed the truck the Mokhotlong
Monster alias Tile Seas~ loaded our suppl ies
and with the help of people from the Food
and Nutrition Coordinaliny Office. we made
the 300 km trek in abo~! 10 houfli with a·fcw
bruises. frayed nerves and a lot of dust.
Mokhotlong Camp. a British QUtpost until
Lesotho gained its independcoce in 1966. is the
seat of government in the di&gt;trict. It i&gt; relatively
well developed with government offteeS. a hospital and clinic. two banks. severo!.l shops. amicrowave phone station. anny banjlck.&lt;. agri&lt;:ultural training center and airport.
We arrived at camp at the beginning of
August; it was very cold and lhe winds were
blowing fiercely . I remember how dry it
was: there was so much duM in the air that
on some days you could only see a few feet
in front of you. Ten minutes after a shower
you would be caked with dust. As in the old
We~tcm movies. Mokhotlony Camp wa.\ a
cowboy town with horse"'. tumbleweed and
!&lt;-aloons with hard-drinking men.
Two days after we arrived we began u-.uning

Nancy and I worked with the &lt;arne '""'PIC
of householdo;;, although our pro.JCCl' were independent. She was interested in health care decl~aon · making and what facto~ innuence
whether JX'Ople go to a Western-style hospital
or' clinic, traditional heakr. bible reader (who
uses blessed water and pmyer). homeopath or
usc some home remedy when they fall ill.
She was also interested in fX'Ople 's peiccption Of AIDS, which is slowly but sw-ely making its presence in Lesotho. and promises to be
a major health problem in the future.
From the stan we esmblishcd boood relations
with the nn!ical off""" at the Government
Hospital and among the traditional Ileal=.
Mokhotlong is the only district in Lesotho where
healers and hospital staff meet every three
months to exchange infoonation; where tradi tional healer.; arc etlCOIJr.lbocd to usc their skills
and 10 direct their JX!Iients IQ the hospital ..
The first village we worked in was
Thabang. a relatively large and bustling
place wth three distinct settlements built
aJongside the mountains at different altitudes. ln lllabang. as in all the villages. we
had to get permission to work from the vii·
!age chief. who sent along one of his assistants 10 make lhe proper introductions .
ix days a week we wou ld drive out to
lllabang and along the way, pile up to 10
people looking for lifis into the bock of the
Mokhotlong Monster. We would spend all day
coUecting data. visiting different households
and geuing a feel for how people lived As time
went on we leamcd more and our data became
richer as pOOple got to know us and our interviewing improved
We began to learn about illnesses caused by
the breaking of taboos. witchcraft and
Tol&lt;olosi--an evil spirit who comes in many

heard about the rare pmctice of ritual murd..'r for

apathy toward AIDS. While many
women knew about AIDS and iL\ mode~ of
trJnfiimi s~io n . many d1dn't outwardl y fear it
because they hadn't M!Cil it. It had not struck
home. Some did not l:x!lieve uexisted . Olhen, thought it wa~ the invention of Europeans.
In time. we began to give back a linle to
each corrununiry. We started distribuung
condom&gt; and providing some AIDS education.
We abo woutdpfi'ng sick people into the hospital and provided nutrition monitoring.
Occasionally. our roles a~ researchcTh
would bec0!11C blurred, ""-pecially in the beginning when many fX'Oplc assumed -we were physicians with pills and injections to treat all
maladies. We had to make it very clear that we
were not and !Ita! our worl&lt; would not direclly
benefit their lives.
This sometimes caUsed anger. panicularty
among people who wanted health care. Iremember one occasion when a man requested
medicine for chest pains. I told ~im I wasn't a
physician and !Ita! we were only worl&lt;ing with
women and children. but I did offer to take him
10 the hospital.
He did not like this response and insisted
that I give him something. even money. He had
been drinking and I was wcxried. Eventually.
he stomped away yelling insults. While this
confrontation was WlCOmfortable. it w&lt;is valuable. There would be other times someone
would see us as meddling foreigners who are
agents for a government !Ita! doesn't care.

Maseru to begin his fieldwork. We decided to
take a break after four months of nonstop worl&lt;
and headed down to Maseru. We were burnt oot
and in need of some com fOilS of tltC "big city"

During our last few months in Lesotho. we
anended a L-elebration marking the end of the

four month&gt; boys are i'oOiatcd in an out-o(-lhcway hut called a M1 phato and there they learn

The initiates were dressed in blankets !Ita!
were brightly colored in blues. reds and yellows; each blanket had patterns of com. hats or
airplanes. These blankets are a primary anicle
of clothing for al l Basotho and each initiate received a new one. The initiaJ:ioo teachers were
adorned in beautiful beadworl&lt;, loinslcins and .
some had dangling dried monkey or eagle feet
hanging from their waists.
Soon after our arrival. the·initiates began
singing. I could tell they were tired but tfteir
voices .were Slrong and clear. the songs were ex·
tn:mcly melodic bouncing between the mountains. An initiate stood in the ainter of this group
and led the song. He seemed so young yet so

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

CJENCE AND POLITICS walk
hand in hand.· and lhis is especially so in China. where there is

a long history of bolh embrace-

ment and a nimosity between
leaders. who want to reap the benefits of a

sc ience that builds economics and suppon.o;;

poli tical ideologies and scientists. who yearn

for lhe freedom of free-lhinking.
This tenuous relationship between politks

and science was brought to life by Fang Lizhi ,
internationally renowned astrophysicist and
activisL who spoke on ''Science and Politics in

China:· at lhe Buffalo Hilton on Oct 10.
Among the sponsors were UB's Depan~ts of History. Philosophy and Physics. a&gt;

w~ l as the UB Chinese Student Assoc iation.

lhc Buffalo Council on World Affairs and
Trinit y Church. The talk was co-sponsored by
tl1e June 4 MemOrial Fund, a Western New
York nonprofit educational foundation , and

Clement Chen

TO. of lhe Buffalo Hilton.

Fang's talk, which zeroed in on the ebb and
now of scie nce over the past scverJI hundred
years, paid panicular attention to the relation-

ship between M:ience and Communism in
China.
In many way!oio. Fang's own life mirrors that
up-and-down re l::nionship between polit'ics and
M:ience in his country. Coming from modest
root'i.. Fang rose through China's educational
syMcm to become a remarkable siUdent and
later a l c&lt;.~ ding researcher and educator. While
he rose through the system. however. Fang wa!-&gt;
still an outspoken critic of the government
clamp on freedom and free-thinking. Thiseventually led to his ouster from the Communist
Pany.
Bl-cause of his outspoken view!. and essay))
on freedom. Fang told lhe audience !hat during
1he 1950s. he was labeled a "quasi-rightist,"
and Jater.during the Cultural Revolution. forced
to do manual labor.
Fang gave a big boost to science in China
when he introduced lhe "Big Bang" Theory in

1972 and his Communist Pany membership
. was restored after he came out in strong su~
pon of Deng Xiaoping's reforms during lhe
early 1980s.
As time went on. however. Fang said he
saw just how much China's aged leaders, with
their hard -line views, were stymieing democra!ic reforms. He again became critical of the
government and .began to urge students to
speak OUL
After lhe Tiananmen Square upri si ng in
1989. police pot out a warrant for his arrest.
Fang and his wife. Ph)'&amp;icist Li Shuxian. had to
take refuge in lhe U.S. 'Embassy in Beijing.
AboUI a year later, Fang and his wife were
allowed to leave China and emigrated to lhe
U.S. Tf1ey now live in Arizona. where Fang is
professor of astrophysics at the University of
Arizona, Tucson.
hile he was in hiding. Fang said his love
for science propelled him to continue
his research.
Fang wrote a research paper on the T-3
Universe. which was to be published using the
Embassy address in Beijing. However. with
critical nego~iation s going on between the
Chinese and Americans over Fang's status. he
had to publish using the address of a colleague
in Rome. Ital y. So the Jlaperthat was written in
hiding in Asia was published a.~ if it were
written in Europe.
He describod a paper he wro1c in i9R5 on
quantum cosmology for a Chinese magaz ine.
It was read by a leader in charge of ideology
who wrote Fang a letter stating that while he
had never studied cosmic physics. he completel y d1~grccd wi th the anicle's tenets.
"This i~ a typical thing." Fang ex plaint-d.
'"Since the leader didn't understand what I was
saying. he felt he was losing control." In the
end, many of the leaders " like scierl\:e." but
they "don ' t like scien ti st~ ... Fang said.
Because many of the country's leaders arc
old. Fang said he sees a real possibility for
change and democratization in China in the
not-too-distant future.

fieldwork in Lesotho for hei dissertation.
The goal of my research was to examine
how rural women and children cope. both
biologically and behaviorally. with seasonal
changes in food availability and health.
Preliminary results suggest that there are
sea5onal sJ&gt;anges in the nutritional status of
mothers fmd children and these changes are
pronounced in households that are more

subjected to unfair and abusive labor
practices. which are rarely inspected by the

Basotho friend told me that workers at one

textile plant were allowed only rwo visits to
the toilet per day and that each visit could
not last longer than one minute.

All of these problems and the death of an
alleged shoplifter sparked off lesotho's wOO&gt;t
riots during the cold May of 1991. and unfonunawly. my wife Nancy and I were in the wrong
place a1 the wrong time when a mob exploded

The word of this event spread like wildfrre
and later that day an angty crowd a'&gt;SCTllbled
outside the shop calling for justice. They were
dispelled by the police with tear gas.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

UB campus in uncertai nty. But the program has blossomed
sirlce then and in the
process. has he lped
fas hion new major
courses of study
within the university
curriculum such as
med ia studies. accord-

ing to Allan Canfie h!, chair of the

special major committee. a senior
academic advisor and an adjunct faculty member in the Com munication

Department.

"The Faculty Senate created it on
Dec. 5. 1968." he said. "right at the
height of the Student unrest. Its aim
was to give studems. gi"eat7 say in
lheir education. We've graduated

well over 2000 student' from thi!!
program since then ."
The PTOb'Tam's aim I!! to allow
students to fashion a majorcoursc.of
study that is not offered by aJ)y Um-

versity department or cOmbine
courses of study from more than one
academic area. said Canfield. It al lows students to combi ne !lU&lt;:h diverse areas of study as language and
cognitive science or-health and hu man services.

Canfield. who's been cha1r of the
special major committee since 1983.
said that the program produces about
60 graduates per year. He'd like to
sec more st udents take adYamage of
the program. but said that a student
must clearly have need!l outside of
any establ ished department in order
to be considered. "We' re not here to
take the place of any depanment.
"ll's a trendy program. At any
one time. there arc more students
doi ng one kind of major than others,'' he said. "For example. in 1976.
labor studies wa.~ popul ar. ln 1978. it
was biomedical engineering. And
journal ism is very hot now. We have
a number of joumaJism majors and
they ' re all getting jobs."
bove all, a student needs to be
motivated, creative and responsible to make the special major a
worthwhile and useful experience.
said Canfield. " We look for-students
who are pretty clear on what they're
looking for but it can't be fo und in
the regular curriculum. 1be student
must have maturity in order to plan a
four-year career a.t the university.

For UB junior Ravi rivastava. the academk
freedom that the program offers is most enticing.
He is studying a curriculum of health altd hiJ!l13n
sciences and his objective is ~ school. "I
wanted to do a pre-med curriculum. which is not
offerejl tiS a major here. I thought studying biology alone was too one-sided.'' he said. "So I've
combined biology and anthropology COUI&gt;eS. It 's
given me a lot of freedom."
Srivastava has already been accep&lt;cd into
the Sehool of Medicine and Biornedical Sciences

Srivastava said that although the program
can be very rigorous. the resulls are more than

molecules literally ovemighL
Solution of the as-yet-unnamed
structures, each of which contains
more than I00 atoms, had eluded
crystallographers, who had worked
on their detennination for more than
10 years.
According to Nobel Laureate
Herben A. Hauptman, this laleSldevelopment will profoundly acceler·
ate scientific adv-ances in rational
drug design, the area of scientific
~h where chemical structures
of drug molecules are analyzed and
deliberately modified to improve
their biological activily to tteat specific medical disorders.
This new method of strucrure determination is based on a minimal
principle devised by Hauptman that
uses mathematical algorithms that
Russ Miller. the UB computerscientisl. had developed and adapled to
run on.a parallel supercomputer.
The breakthrough was announced
Aug. 10 in Pittsburgh at the annual
meeting of the American Cryslallo.graphic Association by a research
team headed by Hauptman, president of the Medical Foundation of
Buffalo and research professor of
biophysics and computer science at
the university.
"lbe fact that someone who i!t

not a crys1allographic expen could
jusrrun !biscomputerprogram like a
black box and get a correct solution
for these two unknown and admilledly difficult s1rucrures is really im pressive," said Hauptman.
Cryslallographers can detennine
the qualily of a potential solution
based on the amount of agreement
between the available elperimenlal
data and the data provided by the
·
i
proposed solulion.
In April , the Buffalo group re·
poned that its technique solved the
structure of {tamicidin-A. a molecule of more than 300 atoms.
But that structure, as well as the
other three previously solved by the
au1omated method , was already
known.
This is the first time the method
has been applied to an unknown
S1TUCture.
The Buffalo group's compuler·
intensive slJ'ategy generates large setS
of random molecules that are le8lM
through Haupunan · s minimal principle fonnula.
Miller explained that, using the
minimal function. the positions of
the atoms in a randomly generated
molecule are moved about until they
stabilize and produce a potential so-

lution.
Data is collecled by an X-ray
diffraction experiment. whereacryslal is bol1!barded with X-rays. As the
X-rays scaner off the crystal, they
create three-dimensional reflections.
which. if properly interpreled, yield
the locations of atoms. The
diffractometer measures the intensitiesofthousandsofthesereflections.
Bu1 the information is incomplete,
since it dOes 001 provide the locations
oftheatomsorequivalently ,the phases
of the diffracted inlerlSities.

D

avid Langs. seniorrese;v'Ch scientist at the Medical Foundation of Buffalo and adjunct associate
professor of biochemical phannarol~ a1 UB, had failed to obtain a
recognizable solution for the first
unknown structure afieTtesting more
than 500.000 random phase sets.
using traditional techniques.
Using the automate!! method,
Miller was successful afieT testing
only 64 sets of random molecules.
To demonstrate that this (inding was
not a fluke, Miller tested additional
random ~ true! ural starting points and
found an average of one correct soIL~:t:ion in approximately every 200
attemptS.

"'I

no way the secQnd one could be becausethedata weresoabysmallypoor,··
said Langs.
But Millerotxained the data fa the
serondunknownstru:tureandoblained
two equivalent ccm:ct solutions in his
first six hies. Furtha computations
showed. however, that an ;verage of
one ccm:ct solution can be found in
approximately eYf'lY 125 attempiS.
This most reCent development re.sulted from a casuaJ conversation
when Miller asked Langs for a Struc·
rure be could wori&lt; on .
" I told Dave I wouldn "ibespend·
ing much time on iL bt11 that I did

The solution of the flr.il molecule
took one and a half hours of
supercompu1ing time on a Connec·
tion Machine CM-5 at Thinking

The Buffalo scientists now believe
that if J!ley can opcimi2e their )XOI%dure, they will experience similar lev·

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

f?U· colleagues. lor joining us this afternoon.

The ceremony which will take place
tomorrow h.a.s been the focus of much of
the publicity surrounding this week's
events. For us in the academy, processions and regalia s ignaJ imporUnl and

time-honored riruals of community:.for
our neighbors and friends, they an: a recognizable.
-siglf of our academic identity. Bur mostoftheother
evettts. of this week-the concen.s. lectures, meetrngs. ex.hibits. festivals-have had far more to do
with who we arc. and Wha l we do as a university.
11115 gathering is one of those events.

l propose that this gathering should also mark an
maug urat1on of its own: the inauguration of a

pro.,teet which I ask that you and I and our colleagues. both faculty and ~ff. and our students
undenake together. That project is the develop-

mem of a new !&lt;.plru and praccice of collective,
creauve leadt:rship for the Umverstty at Buffalo, a
follTI of leadership which will make our university
a uul y innovat•ve leader of the academy in lhe 21st

So whar k.ind-.. of questions are these? Let's a..-.k

UB have 12schoolsand3 facu lries? Js 15 academic
div1s1ons the right number? Do we need more than
15. or fewer than 15? Do some schools or faculties
need lo become department-. or divisions of a

meniS need to be gathered up and clusrered into
theu own independent schools or faculties , or inro
larger units or divisions within existing schools or
fat:uhtes?
. Posing~ questions-nor as leading or rheroncal ~uesuons. bur as serious questions calling

Mon. But in pomr of fact such cent~f whtch
we alrtady have some 40--help us save lime and
resources. do better research. tram our graduarc
srudenls more adequately. and shape our under·
gradualc offerings. This k.ind of progress ofren is a
maner of working smaner. nor harder or in a mort
costly mode.
OurCenrer for Applied Molecular Biology and
lmmunol~gy (CAMS[) is llJl exciting and praisewonhy exampleofthi kind of endeavor within lhe
biological sciences. Through CAMBI, colleagues
synergisticaJiy and very effectively conjoin their
reaching. research. and service almost withoor ref·
erencelodisciplinaryanddeparrmemallimits. These
colleagues in veryclosely-relared bur separate ftelds
share resources and ins ighrs m order rO conducr
jomr research and eraduate uaming in molecular
biology and genetics. 11lesc colleagues publish
regularly and fruitfull y: they attrac1 excellenr stu·
dents; they have theanention of colleagues around
the world: they are helping to address some of our
nation ·s critiC&amp;] health needs: they ger powerhou.se
gJlUlts: and they an: augmenting the resources we
would be using to keep them going. pe::rha:ps less
pmlifocally and man: prosaically. were they resrrictod to working within their own departments.
CAMBJ is only one example of such activity at
UB, but it is a gobd model--all rhc more so.
perhaps, because its acftXlym sermdipitously suggests the Latin verb cambiar~. ro-exchange, which
is the root of our word "change." Similar exchanges
and changes are taking place in the chemicaJ sci-

T

�-~..-enc::es: m cogmt1vc science: and, with varying de~ of formalit y and specifiCity, in other na~uril
and social sciences and professional fields.
What about thC humanities and social sciences'!

Teny Anderson: dealing with life as free man

"I

IICieiJrr WA~

REMEMBER everything. Now I'm
having to go back and relive it all

.:mer

again."
Tl'IT)' Ander.;on, the Batavia journal- .

- ~who became the

nation's symbol of
coura&amp;el_d!Jrlng his seven-year incarcemion by
Shiite Muslim tenorists. talked to the R•port"
last week about the difficulties of recovering and
of adapting to freedcm in a changing world. His
ex~ will be chronicled in a book. D•n of
Lions. due out in Sepreml&gt;er. 1993.
Anderson. who will headline UB's Distinguished Speakers Series
14 in Alumni
Arena. said that Lhe process of writing such a
memoir is both nighunare and catharsis.
He spoi&lt;J: in a telephone inte!View from Or
lumbia University ·s Freedom Fonun. where he is
&gt;pending a sabbatical from the Associated Pless.
"It's noleasydealing with something like tha~
11 's noteasytorecover. lt takes.a long time. I was
locky. l had psychiatric counsel. I had my family.
I had the AP. but for some of the hostages it was
hard to deal with. It affec1fd all of us. some worse
than others. I had a lot of support that some of the
others didn'l" Anderson said.
Den of Lions is the second book written by
hostagesof Hezbollah in Lebanon: Brian Keenan
recently published An £1·il CradlinK. which recounts in honifJC detail 001 only the physical
tonncnt inflicted on him by his captors. but the
&lt;pectre of madness in a solitary cell.
Keenan eventually joined Anderson and his
fellow prisoners in captivity and spent four yean;
there before Shiite Muslims admitted that they
had mistakenly captured an Irishman and not an
Englishman. "Ijust &gt;aw Brian. in Mayo. and then
we went to Derry for an inLemalional conference
called 'Beyond Hate.' whichwao;hosted byProtC"!'&gt;tanis and Catholics. Tilcre were four hostag~

Oct.

cathar.;is. He sen~ me a copy, but I haven't read it
yet I don't want his words to come out of my
mouth."
Like Keenan, Ander.;on was subjected to brutal beatings: hewasinitiallykeptchained to a bare
wire bedstead so that his captors could jump up
and down on his naked.body. or caress his neck
with piStols while whispering !hi-eats. This treatmenl he later coojectured. was because he had
served in the Marines. Later. he was blindfolded.
and kept chained to a radiator.

Ue kept himself physically

strong by exern cising and mentally &gt;"table by reOeetlng on
himself and on his renewed interesl in Cath&lt;)U·

cism. Famously. when conversation wa~ impos·
sible. he initiated a form of sign language so _that
he and the four other hostages with whom he
eventually s hared a ce ll - Keenan. Tom

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Sara Lightfoot speaks for 'the invisible and the unheard'
BJ DAVID -MEUIIIEEII

Reporter StaN

W

E NEED MORE stories from
those many people who remain
''invisible and unheard." ' We

need their personal accounts
and the rich context of their words. '111e tre·
mendous power in the narrative'' is what will
shape a new public discour.;e that can properly
address "social justice and social change.··
This is the message of Sara Lawrence
Lightfoot. professor of education at Harvard
University. who gave the James Femon Lecture last week inSleeConccn Hall. Lighlfo01 's
lecture. " Balm in Gilead: On Love. Work, and
Storytelling in \Vomen's Lives." was based on
her 1988 Christopher Awaro-winning book,
Balm in Gilead: Journey of a Healer , a biogrJphical and historical narrJtive about her
moLher. Margaret Morgan Lawrence.
Lightfoot recalled th~ '"haunting and horrible'' questions mised by Alice Walker in her
essay. ··A Search of Onr Mother's Garoens:·
which discussed what it meant to be a black
woman and artist ·in the earlier part of this
century. Lightfoot related Walker's disc ussion
on the agonies of many would-be "poets. novelists. and essayists" who were ~tined t:M!cause
not too long ago it was ··a crime in America for
black people to read and write.··
However. Ughtfom al.o_,found triumph in

Margaret Morgan Lawrence. Lightfoot's
~ mother, grew up in Mississi ppi in a family full
i of strong women. At 14. her mother decided to
become a medical doclOr. partly in rcsJX&gt;nse to
the early death of a brother she never knew.
Margaret went on to New York City and
lived with re lative~. She attended one of the
two classical high schools for girls in the city.
Lightfoot said. In 1932. Margaret left to study
at Cornell. where she was theonlyblack undergmduate. She was barred from thedormitorie~.
and earned her keep as a live-i n maid. Despite
the fact that she maintained a superior academic record. she was rejected by the Cornell
Medical School. Lightfoot related.

outthal .. it was a feminist married to a feminist
Long before their time.''
''The story is more intef'!sting than the faclS
given." Lightfoot said. From this narrative. the
rich texture of her mother's life is felt. she
added. describing the process of creating the
narrative. How for two years. Lighrfoot traveled between Boston and New York to create
the namllive. How she and her mother would
shift between Lhe molher and daughter. between elder and middle-aged woman. and betw~n psychiarrist and _
sociologist.

n the end. Lightfoot revealed !hat she was
more inten.~ted in her mother's feelings about

way family. culture. society and religion influence the interpretation of facts. "lltis is OOl just a

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

proved that the university does an
excellent job of controlling how it
uses its external funds. according to
Dale Landi, vice president for SJXInsored programs at UB. The audit
was conducted by lhe Research Faundation .
Indirect costs are costs incurred
by a university to provide the means
forcomplelion of a gran! projecl and
are charged back 10 lhe granting in-

stitution. They are applicable to
contracts and other agreements taken on by UB.
Landi made hi s remark3 at la'\t
wt--ek's meeting of the Faculty Senate Executive Cominittee (FSEC).
"The audit of UB came out rc·
1
markably clean, ' he said. "We run a
very tight shi p here ...
He exp lained that the audtt

~'Tant'\,

showed UB had mcurred S 1.8 million in unallowable charge~ out of a

1oull operating bud gel or $320 mil lion. Approximately $.1.45 million
of those unallowable charge3 cou ld
be traced to costs incum-d
. at SUNY

lion resulted from expenditures in·
curred on campus.
Indirect Cost retrieval has become
more imJXInamto UB in recent years,
he said. because New York Sl;ue
was giving the university 5Q percent
of its budget five years ago but now

gives UB only 41 percent. "We are
much more dependent on indirect
budget money than we were i~ the
past," Landi said.

��UB's 1992
SEFA
campaign
urgently·
needs your
pers9nal
commitment,
to whatever
extent you
can make it.

Dear Col1~&gt;aP~1es:

\'?-

I

/

Usually presider(tial messages about our annual
aunpaign for the State Employees Federated Appeal
are smooth and gently persuasive. The importance of
this yearS aunpaign, however, requires that I skip the
kid-gloves approach and appeal bhmtly to your gocxl
sense and human kindness: UBs 1992 SEFA campaign
urgently needs yoilr personal cornmi11i1ent, to whatever
extent you can mahe it
At least in fiscal terms, last year was not a good year for UB-we all know that. Cuts to UBs state operating
budget really hun the university, and ~y every member of our university community felt the pinch of general
economic conditions in our personal affairs as well.
But if you think last year was tough on us, consider what it was like for our Vkstem New York neighbors
who lost jobs or homes. Consider what it was like for those w~o are raising families single-handedly; for those
whose children have special needs; for those who gave up educational opportunitit!s; or for those who are elderly
or in poor health and are living on fixed incomes.
Many such Western New Yorkers depend on the health and human service agencies which our SEFA
contributions support. But ihese agencies themselves are suffering. Their state and federal support has been even
more drastically cut than has ours, and the economic climate has rrufde it harder and harder for them 10 get the
pnvate donations which help keep them afloat. Some of them, no matter how much they are needed, have come
very near to closing their doors 10 our friends and n.eigh~rs.
And I do mean it when I say "friends and neighbors." Whether you realize it or not. someone you knowma)'be even you yourself or a member of your fami~-has probably looked 10 one of the nearly 300 SEFA-

'

supported agenCies for assiStance. You might also not reahze that some of these agenCies, like the·American Cancer
SoCiety and the Alzhetme r's Assoctation, support research programs at UB. In addition. many of your university
colleagues devote substan~ialume and energy to working with one of these agenctes: a community center, a
sutctde prevenuon hotline. a literacy program, a project for Western New York's young people.
As ught as things may be for us this year, we at UB are comparatively lucky Nobody here has been laid

oiT-we still have JObs, salanes, and benefits. And in 1993. when we pay thiS year's SEFA pledges, we will get
ratSes. Considering that one m every four Buffalonians hves below the poverty line, and that nearly 45,000 people
are currently unemployed m Ene and Niagarn Counties. we at UB are oumght pnvtleged. If our community is
going to get healthier. happier. and farther ahead , people hke us are going 10 have to help it along by sharing what
we have.
So please do something spectal for SEFA this year. If you've never gtven 10 SEFA before, stan now, with just
a dollar or two out of every paycheck. And if you are already a SEFA contributor, think about adding a. little extra
to your usual pledge.
Look through the list of participating agencies whtch will be in )'Our SEFA packet, and choose.an effort or
two that you want 10 support. Or, if you prefer, let the United Way direct your contribution to the agencies which
need it most. The choices are yours.
The SEFA-supponed agencies areni just there for somebody else-they have an impact on aUour lives.

We need them, and right now they need us very much In 1991 we let them down a little; for the first time in
many years, UB did not reach its SEFA goal. We have to do beuer in 1992. Unless we support our health and
human service agencies now, they may not be there when you and yours need them.
sjr(cerely,

)f~· ;;~
William R. Greiner, President

ErA is an acronym for the Slate
Employees Federated Appeal, a
fund-raising campaign directed at
UB faculty and staff and to em.
ployees of related university organizations that makes it possible for you to
contribute to a wide spectrum of non-profit
health and human service agencies or to
only a specific few of your choice.
Bcneficiariesoftheappealare 181 United
Way agencies, 33 national health agencies.
30 international service agencies and 55
independent, non-affiliated agencies.
SEFA provides an effective, convenient
procedurf"forsupportingnon-profit health,
welfare and recreauon services. Its purpose
is to reduce administrative costs associated
with charitable fund-raising, and to encourage generosity among people in State
institutions.
The advantage of the SEFA program
over the United Way alone is that you can
contribute to a broader spectrum of serVIces.
Your gift may be shared among h und reds of pamd patingagendesaccordingto

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

-from two points of vieW.
As a UB research associarc professor in
biological .sciences who has worked for nearly
20 years at'unraoeling the ··muscle puzzle" of
musculareystrophies. he has
received fundillg since 1975
from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). His
research has focused on the
musclemetabolismofchickens and mice with a form of

muscular dystrophy in ordef
to explore · therapeutic ap-

proaches to prevent muscle
dc terior.nion.
Hudecki was himself diagnosed as havlng a fonn of
musculardystrophy when he
was a teenager and has also
benefited from patient ser-

vices offered by the MDA.
In appreciation for the help
on both frO)lts. he appears
annually on the local broadcast of the MDA 's annual

Labor Day telethon.

muscular dystrophy who Iamen led the fact that
he"d never be a major league baseball player.
"'I asked him what he thought his chances
would have been if he didn"t have muscular
dystrophy and he admitted they probably
weren"t very good.""
The bonom line: Hudecki says. is that everyone should be aware of their individual
limitations. but focus on what they can do.
He realistically discarded the idea of becoming a physician, even though two universities-including UB-accepted him into their
medical program. Instead; he pun;ued a doctoral degree in biology. which he received

from UB in 1973.
Medicine· s loss has been medical research· s
gain. as Hudeck.i continues his work with the
suppon of his family and UB co-workers and

the help of the Muscular Dystrophy Associ alion.

Reporter ~taH

"W

e're great people over
here in parking."
That's Carol Murphy
·
talking. The same Carol
Murphy who serves as VB 's
parking enforcement supervisor.
A' the fall semester begins. the parking "dilcrhma·" resurfaces at UB. Murphy says. But the
problem iSn't the number of parking spots, she
msist it's people not knowing how to deal-

efficiently with parking. Many peopie don 't
know what parking and mass transit accommodatiOn~

arc available to them .

Murphy is teac hing a Life Workshop that
addresses Campus Parkinx Strategies during
the: fall semester.

"Every person who uses this campus is affe-cted by parking strategies," she says. "And I
fi nd th~t the most important thing that students
don't know about b the busing situation on

campus. Studems arc paying for the bus service
with the transportation fcc. so I try to encourJge
them to u~ the ~rvicc . They only pay $3.24 for
their parkmg tag. and it's included in the trJnsponation fee .
· ·Th~ real problem 1!. that everyone wan[!) to
park very ~close to where they're going. But
that·,.lu~l never going to happen." she said.
Dc&lt;tpllc the problem~ that stude nts and staff
&lt;II UB da.m to have w1th finding accessible
p&lt;.arkmg . the Parki ng Strategies workc;hop~ of·
fcn:d la-.t year oflcn were !oopar!»Ciy ;.mended.

/

"One time last year when we ran this class.
only one person showed up." laughed Murphy.
"Geilerally. with the small enrqllmcnts. I wa~
able to work on an individual basis with the
people. That was good. There was a student I
wOrked wtth last yearwhodidn 't know anything
about the sh uttle buse~. Hecouldn 't believe how
much easier his life was going to be after h$.
found out."
TI1e easieM way for students to get the park·
ing spaces they want. Murphy says. is to come
to campus early in the morning. especiall y at t:he
bcgtnning of a semester. "Outing the fi rst couple
of weeks. it·s more diOTcult to get a parking spot.
Part of the reason is that a lot of the dorm
students have their cats witt/them to bring their·
thing.;; to campu:-,. That let!&lt;. up after the fi~t

couple of weeks.'' she said. "But students should
get here early if they want to park close. 'They're
full-time students. so it's like a full-time job. So
get here early and treat it like one."
Another way to cut down on parking aggra·
vation is to take the bus if you're moving be·
tween ~ampuses. " If you dorm at the South
Campus. why would you want to bring your_car
to the Nonh Campus? You 'II end upsavmg ume
and gas in the long run:· said Murphy.
Another suggestion was directed at people
coming from the Getzville area. "If you come
here from Getzville. park in the Richmond lot
and get in the tunnel. You· re under cover. and
then you can hop on the bus and get to wherev~r
you're going. The buses run so often that It
won't take ypu any more tlran five or 10 min·
· ute~. which is a lot less time than waiting in a lot
for a half hour to get a spot. ..
Or (and this may be the best parking srrateg_y
of all) you can park in the Center for Tomorrow
lot. says Murphy. without even having to buy a
parking tag. '"There was a student last year who
claimed he couldn't afford the $3.24 for the
parking tag. So I told him to park in the Center
for Tomorrow.
"It's a free lot. You don't need anything to
park t~ere. And the shuttle bus runs through
every 15 minutes or so.
'"lllat lot has never been fiiJed up." she said
"I just don't understand why people keep driving around the other lots when that are~ has
p\enty of open spece:."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

After graduating in 1961. she relUmed 10 Buffalo and began working for her father. doing full-time

three children. During her tenure at
her father's firm she gai ned a great
deal of experience contributing to

lhe design of schools and working

Interested in architectural history
and lhe business aspeciS of archilcc·

master'sdegree in 1973 at what was
lhen UB's new School of Architec·

UFoit-Aiben is very much dedi·
cated to teaching and leading students into a more hand~-on approach
to architecture that involves getting
feedback on the needs of people who
use the facilities they design.
One n~:nable project involving
Foit·Aiben and UB gradua1e students was a study to examine the
revitalization ofBuffalo 's New York

great landmarks. The imponance of
lhis complex in lhe his1ory of Buffalo. its great architecture. and the

fact that it is vacant made it an ideal

ALener from Gov. Cuomo
An open Jetter to SUNY faculty:
The fiscal strictures of the last few years have yielded few opportunifies to offer

good news to the faculty of our state unwers1ty system-tlut today IS a memo&lt;able
'il'"'eptiOfl.
Work1ng together , the State and Umted UniverSity Profess1ons (UUP) recently
reached agreements on pay 1ncreases In additKlf1 , we have developed a retirement incentwe program for SUNY faculty and re1nforced the statutory protections
for faculty pens1on contributiOns. These actions reflect our commitment to rewardIng SUNY faculty for all they contribute to the Intellectual and economic vitality of
our State
Specifically, we have reached a four-year agreement that provi(ies a schedule
of salary increases for UUP staff . Together. Tim Reilly, president of UUP, and Joe
Bress. director of the Governor's Office of Employee Relations , have lauded the
arrangement as "balanced and responsible,- particularly in light of the State's fiscal

Circumstances
In addition to prov1d1ng for faculty ra1ses . we have also reached legislative
agreement on a retirement incentive program for eligible State University faculty
and professional staff who belong to either the Teachers Retirement System or the
OptiOflal Ret~rement Program run by TIAA-CREF.-1believe the program will avert
layoffs and help ensure the continUing vitality of SUNY's academic programs by
InJecting a diverse a rray of new teach1ng and research talent into the system.
Third and f1nally. we have resolved the mponant issue of pension cootributions
for members of SUNY's Opt1onal Ret~rement Program. Our solution both protects
the pens10n contributions of current faculty and staff and cooforms to the rig1d
contours ol the Stale's current budget·
These three 1n1t•iuves all grew from the good Will and ha!d work of a great many
people In panicular 1would hke to acknowledge the efforts of Cha~rman Fred
Salerno and Chancellor Bruce Johnstone of SUNY Their leadershiP oo these issues has been constant and Invaluable I also thank the members of the Legislature for their support. Most of all. I am grateful to you . SUNY's faculty , for your
understanding and cooperation. and lex the vital work you do every day
To maintain the strength of our State University, we must work to make sure that
three tough standards are met: real public accessibility. educational excellence,
and a lively relevance to the econooiic future of the Empire State Meeting these
standards will demand an exceptional facully , and we m_ust be prepared to pay for
such talent and commitment.
With these new enhancements. we have traveled a long way towards securing a
dynamic future for our State University. I look forward to sharing the rest of the
JOUrney with you in the rronths ahead.
Sincerely

six Americans and Britons who had been take n hoswge by Shiite
Muslims in a year-long kidnapping spree.
B lindfolded. chained to radiators and hidden from sunlight.
Anderson and hi s fellow captives knew only what little their
captors chose to tell them of the o utside world. Beatings were
common: one g uard even staged a mock execution. Defying such
crue lty, the journalist and ex-Marine quietly kept himself as
strong as possible-physically. mental ly and emotionatlydoinS, caJisthenics and Sit-ups as best he could in his cramped
quarters. He used Lhe long stretches of empty time to exerc ise hi s
mind , imagining with intricate detail . hi s life after he was freed .
Sc hlesinger, one of the nation' s most influential historians. began his \.1/Titing career as

a HarvW"d undergraduate. His The Age ofJackson was awW"ded the 1946 Puli!Zer Prize for
History. Throughout his career. Sch lesinger has blended the roles ~f sch.o lar and activist.

After World War n . he joined the HarvW"d icaching staff. assisted Averell Ha(riman with
Lhe deve lopment of lhe Marshall Plan. and he lped stan the Americans for Democrntic
Action .
i

ln the early 1960s. he served as special presidential assislan l to John F. Kennedy and won
a :oecond Pulitzer Prize for his best-seller.A Thousand Days: Jolin F. Kennedy in The White
Hou se . He is currently A lbert Sc hweitzer Professor of Humanities at Ciry University of
New Yo rk .
Ellen Goodman. who won the 1980 Pul i!Zer Prize for Distinguished Commentary. has
attracted a fervent national fo llowing and broug ht new readers to opinion pages around Lhe

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.

TRUCKS AND CRANES dot the campus as UB' s new "face" takes shape. Already, students, faculty and staff can

enjoy many of the facilities. Dining's a pleasure, with many more places to .s it down, chat and have a snack

or a meal. Whether you're using the refurbished Clark (&gt;ym on the South Campus or building up your sugar

quotient at the candy counter in the ·new Student Union on the North Campus, you'll appreciate the changes

that add fun and flavor to campus life.

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

OnSepL 1,1962,the 116-year-oldprivate

envisioned the University at Buffalo. now
one of SUNY's four university centers, competing ultimately with the nation's fin&lt;'St
public ~h universities.
By the late 1980s--despite unrest in lhe
late '60s and early '70s, coostant budget
probletns in the mid '70s and eatly '&amp;Os, and
the two decides of logistical contortions involved in moving most of a growing univer sity to a brand-new campus-US had risen
into a new league.
Students knew that UB was a good place:
demand for admission 10 UB rose steadily.
despite a general decline in lhe state 's pool of
graduating bigh school seniors. Faculty knew
it too: bolb young faculty and established
scholars with natiorlal and international repu tations decided that UB had something ' to

What ' s more, U B forged other new ties m
Western New York: panncrshtps with sev-

eral Buffalo public schools: stronger affiliations with area hospilals; projects for lhe
homeless. for older people, for children and
(atnilies in our urban neighborhoods; programs to encourage students from minority
groups.
These are just a few of UB 's advances
during its first three decades in SUNY. Such
developments garnered UB election as
'SUNY's only member of lhe Association of
American Universities, which includes the
top research universities in the U.S. and
Canada. In less than 30 years-including
some verr difficult years-Buffalo 's public
university became competitive with peer in stitutions four or five times its age as a public
institution.
1ben came the recent round of budget
reductions.

useful pwpose. Tile Senate Executive Comminee debaled the details of the case fO&lt;
many hour.; at several meetings. Finally it
voted. at my recommendation. 00( to pursue
the case. Professor Ralston . not having seen
the evidence. not having participated in lhe
discussions. not knowing the arguments.
feels free to write that the action of the Executive Committee was .. ludicrous.··
Profess:Jr RaJ ston complains that the

Orders of the Faculty Senate . the onl y

P

rofessor Ralston claims that " in effect ,
a tenured faculty member of thi s uni versity was fired in January by the Dean of
Arts and L.euers." He claims that ..thi s
facu lty member was dismissed on the flim siest of pretexts... I am convinced that there
were no extenuating circuinstances what.soever. This was an outrageous and indefensible act. perhaps more accurate! y ,
described as a vicious act.·· The prima facie
situation is that the faculty member Wl

what circumstances can a faculty member
who is deemed to have resigned withdraw

1ssues on which reasonable people may

Professor Ralston remarks thai "the sub

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

The program costs about $550 plus round trip airfare ($883 from Buffalo and $743
from New Vorl&lt;) and includes housi ng. three
meals a day and cultural excur.ions in and
around the city of Krakow. explained
Neisberg. He said the most fascinating aspect
of !be program is the diversity of participants
from around the world who descend on
Krakow for the program. He also noted that
people from around the country take advantage ofUB 's relationship with Poland· s most
famous university.
"This program joins people from all over
the world with different backgrounds and
interest&amp;. For example, one of the largest
contingents of people that participate in this
program rome from Korea." he said. "Our
program bas grown since we began it in 1990.
II is limply part of UB 's commitment to the
Jagiellonian University and their programs."
NeiJberg explained that becoming in-

volved in the Study Abroad program for one
summer is easier on the budget than going
away for a ~mester or a year while yielding
similar benefits to the student traveler. ''Financia ll y. people may be able to manago a
summer instead of a whole year . But it whets
their appetite for more. It ' sreaJiy an inexpensi ve and affordable way to~ Europe and ge t
credit in some cases.··
Another summer program that would take
stUdents to Latvia is on the horizon for next
summer, Neisberg said. The whole purpose of
the program is ID expand the intellectual and
cultural perspectives of all !hose who take part
in the programs. "Some people get language
and culture that they need ID succeed ;ocadernically. And for others. they get to see wbere they
came from. " he said.

F ures of Goven1ance at UB
(Is Tenure at Risk?)
II)'~~

HE FACULTY Senau. of this
university is generally held in
low esu.em by the faculty and
has little mfluence on anything
that happens here. The main
reason is because 11 lnSISL"i on spending

T

almost all its ume o n triviaJ issues or on
issue.!! about wh1c h 11 can ha e little influ ence and it refuses to become involved
with 1ssues of rea l imPJrtance where the

faculty of the umvcrsity need the influence
it might provide . In the past year the Senate
has done essc nuall y nothing of imponance
and. when given the opponunity to be
acti vc o n matters of reaJ concern. it has
cravenly ducked the 1ssues. Two examples
will suffice.

AU of you are aware of the festi vities in
the Department of Economics. On I March
five of the mosl senior professors in that
department wrote to the chair of the Sensu.
asking that the Senate look into the controversy in the department. This memorandum coll)ained allegations of a most
serious nat~ against the chair of the Department of Economics and against the
dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Senate did not refer this matter to the Gov ernance Committee because he believed.
no doutit correctly, that he would not like
wbat that collUll.inee might do with thi s
issue. Is that a reasonable excu._~ for not
referring? I leave it to you.
The second issue is perhaps most seriou.•
Some of you may not yet be aware that. in
eff&lt;et. a u.nurcd faculty member of this
university was fired in January by the dean
of Arts and l..eaeTs with. so far as I can u.ll.
the acquiescence and perhaps the support of
the administration with the chair of the Senate. taking the position that this is "'""'IY a

"This case raises not only

.
sehoJ.LS governance LSsues
but Profound issues of
tenure and due process.
That the Facuity Sent1te
has refused to consider this
matter is a travesty. "

then d1d and d1dn · t do 1:0.
notewonh y. What 11 did was to have the
chair of the Senate write a bland letter to
the chair of the departmenL the dean and
the acti ng provost about the need to be
concerned when a department unanimous ly
votes no con fidence m its chair. and sug gesu.d that all should wort to "restore a
proper professional aunosphere in the
department as soon as possible.··
The memorandum further noted that by
an overwhelming vote the FSEC accepted
the "'recommendation of its chair .. . not to
pur&lt;ue the present complaints from the
Department of Economics any further ... If
this were not so serious a matter. one could
laugh at such a ludicrous response. But just
as with the Department of Statistics some
years ago. the failure bf the Senau. to take
effective action earl y will make it far more
difficult to take useful action at any time.
What the FSEC did not do in response
to the memorandum from the Economics
professo~ was refer this maner to its Governance Co mmitt~ which 1 chair. Why
not ? That th1 s IS a governance i~ --and
a serious one - no one will doubt. Both the
current and past c hai rs of the Senate have
spoken out about the need to usc Senate
committees and refer matters to them. In
this case I suggest that the chair of the

refuge of scoundrels, so is the sub judice
excuse the last refuge of adminis~Qton fi&gt;r
whom a revelation of the facts would be .·
embarrassing.
I note also that the fiiCl that the ,_is ill.
grievaooe is no reason fur the faculty rdax ·
with """"IISSlii'IIDCe that juspce will bo dooe.
Justice will. I tbink. be dMe. But il is likdy to
take some months to be~ &lt;bing whidl · •

without salary and bendits. Mnover, as Ibis
rnatU:r becomes pttiic,\alowled in Americat
academic and inlellecluiJ cirdes, it will do the
Wli versity grcal harm. .
But the need for tlie grievance procedure
could be stopped today. if the administration
would act with humanity and decency.
But the point here is govemance. Is it a
governance issue when a department chair.
in full possession of the facts, does not
d iscuss a serious departmental matter with
his other colleagues in the department? Is it
a governance matter when a department
chair, rather than being supportive of his
departmental colleagues, aids in actions
inu.nded to harm the professiooal car= of
a colleague. in particular by withholding .
facts which he lmows would undennine the
case being made against his colleague?
h. ll a ~ovemancc matter when a dean

"petsonnel" matter and. therefore. 001 the
affair of the Sensu.. By so doing be empbasizes his role as a tool of the administration
rather than as the representative of the faculty be is supposed to be.
1 will DOl consider the details of this
case here because my focus is on governance. Suffice it to say that this faculty
member was dismissed from the univen;iry
on the flimsiest of pretexts and without a
semblance of due process. This may shock
and surprise you. Perhaps you may think
there were extenuating circumstances. But
1 have looked into this CfSC' ~y and I
am convinced there were DO eXI'elluating
circumstanceS whatsoever. This was an
outrageous and indefensible act, per!taps
more accurately described as a vicious act.
be administration likes to trumpet d!e
fact that it is achieving budget cuts
without rctrcnclunenL But if trying to fire
u.nurcd faculty without cause and without
a semblance of due process is not I'CII'CIIcb·
menL wbat would you call it? The principals now refuse to discuss this case
because this matter has. of course. been
grieved and is, therefore, sub judice. However. I note that just as patriotism is the last

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

A Message from the President
Y WORKING hard. meeting per·
sonal challenges. exploring differem
avenues of tbought. and incorporating new insights into your picture of
the world . you have earned a very imponant
cndenlial here al Lh&lt; Universicy al Buffalo .
Some of you will receive an a.s.sociate's degree
this weekend; some, a baccalau:ru.te: degree. or
two or even three such degrees~ some. a master'~ .
dOC1oral. or professional degree .
No matter at what level you matriculate th1s
year, no matter what degree you will now be
entitled to put after your name, your achievement also signifies a less tangible but more vital
accomplishment:: your graduation says to the
world. " I have sought." You have sought to
improve younelf and to bener your under standing of pusonal. professional. and soc aal
issues. and you have succeeded. For this ach1eve ·
ment. lhe members of our un iversaty commu nity congrat ulate each and every one of you
We ~ very proud of what you have done .•
However. one of the paradox icaJ things about
completing a universiry education is thal. if
you. and we. have done it correctly . your edu cation wi ll n~ vu be complete. The goal of self·
improvement which brought you to UB should
be a goal you pursue for Lh&lt; res! of your life , for
those who have ttuly soughi never cease to
seek.. We hope that. as you continue to seek out
new possibilities for yourself. what you have
learned during your time al UB will help you 10
unfold !hose possibilities.
A sense of possibility and an alertness 10
opportunities is all Lh&lt; more critical in umes like
lhese. when our world and our countty are chang.
ing.rapidly. For lhe f1TSllime in half acemury.lhe
United States is n:considering 1ts role in the
international commurriry and refocusing its at ·
tention on some serious domestic issues. People
who have llO{ had OJliX&gt;TlUOities to educate them selves. to step back and thml about lhe1r approach to the world. to develop a cnucal
understanding of the forces wh1ch act on the1r
lives , have a harder ume mal.ang a pi~ for
themselves in a SOCICI) tn the madst of trantHLmn

humanities. you might volunteer 10 a literacy
program or visit the classrooms of pub Iic schools
to help children understand our variegated

or engineer. you might help those same children
develop dreams about the SCientific and leChnical fie lds they may someday wi sh to enter.
Whatever your discipline may be. there is
M)mcone out there who can learn from you .
Such sharing of knowledge and ••perience
makes it possible for others to seek and succeed. You have had the benefi t of the accumulared know ledge of centuries and of the shared
experience of many teachers and friends. If
you, in tum , will share these gifts with others.
you will not only be extending their opponumties. you will also be extending yourself; you
will learn by teaching. and you will continue to
grow by encouraging growlh .

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

UB professor says deferred-salary leave programs can
avoid layoffs for teachers and other professionals
CHOOL DISTRICTS faced

popular IJid highly successful
Caodian program that allows
tadlers mel ocber scbool personnel to selfftmd a year Off witb ..y. according to an
edul:atioo reoean:ber at UB.
Slepben L.. ~. professor in the
Gnduale Scbool of Education, has spent
' yi:m examining the deferred-salary leave
programs or DSLPs, fml developed by a
school diiUict in Ontario more than a decade
1&amp;0 to ·~oid teacher layoffs in a time or
decreasing scbool enrollmenL
1be plans have-since become so popular
that they hav~ spread to school districts
throughout Canada and, Jacobson suggests.
they might work in the United StaleS not only
for teaChers, but in Olber professions as well.
Jacobson presented his study April 24 at the
umual meeting of the American Educational
Raearcb Association (AERA) in San Francisco. It was also published last week in the
spring issue' of &amp;blcatiDIIOI Evol~rion and
Policy Analysis, a journal of the AERA.

of their yearly salary for four yean in order 10
enjoy a fifth year off at 80 perce nt pay with
benefits and the guarantee of a posiuon upon
their rerum.
The plan originally received a cool reception from the Ontario Teacben' Federation,
but became so popular that by 1989. 120. or
89 .6percen~of all of Ontario 'ssc hool boards
offered similar defe&lt;fed-salary leave options
for teachers in pubUc, private and Catholic
schools. Most requests for these plans were
initialed by teachers. In some cases. participation has been extended to administrators

"Teachers talked to us of
professional rejuvenation
and have tended to view
the plan as something that
enhanced the quality of
their working life."

IChools of meuopolitan Toronto.
'"!be DSLPs offer important dividends
forle&amp;Chen, odminislraton and their respective ICbool boords," Jacobson says. "Today
90 pen:an of Ontario•• ocbool districts and
diJiricla in every province uae them to reduce
bunDil, enhance individuals' working Uves
and save ocbool districts more money than
they can save by laying off people."
1be origiDal Canadian plan--the "four
over five," or 415. plan-was devised by the
Lok.ehead School Board of Thunder Bay.
- ~ in 1978. It allowed teachen in the

and non msrru'-.: t1unal \tall

Jacobson analyzed I9 teacher conuact~
with deferred -salary leave plans that were
provided them by Ontario's Education Relation Commission. They also interViewed 35
teacben and administrators involved with
the plans.
Their Sllldy describes key elements found
in the conb'liCts' DSLPs. as well as common
variations in these provisions. Among the
facton assessed were the duration of the plan.
the timing of the leave year. distribution or
-=cumulated inten:st earnings, candidate eli gibiUty, application procedures and continuation ofbenefits and teachingstaiiiS upon return_

Jacobson found that while the duration of
the DSLPs ranged from two yean' salary
spread over three yean to si&lt; years' salary
spread over seven yean. the m ost common

was the -4 over 5 plan·· developed m the
original Thunder Bay model • Two boards
sampled have negoual.Cd what they caJI an

ts indivtduali7.ed to

another is on a 4/5 or a 6rl plan.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

NIVERSITY
and college fac ulty around
America are
finding that a
heavier undergraduate teaching workload
may well be pan of their
immediate fulure . according
to a recent anicle in the
Ch rumc/e of Highe r Educa tiOn

The effects of the heated debate
on the subject between faculty and
administrators are beginning to be
heard ai UB, according to Nicolas
Goodman. professor of mathemaltc&lt; and chairman of UB's Faculty
Senate.
Goodman says that what has

become k.nown as .. differential

and external~- "It seems to
me that there is a public relations
probk:m in that researc.b universiti es have not properly communicated the1r mi ssion to the general

budgetary constraints.·· he said.
''Socoodly. there are. in fact. a small
number offacuhy notdoingaday' s

have a good mechanism to approach
that issue ...
AdminedJy. the situation is more
complicated when discussed at research universities than at under-

graduate colleges. where teachin&amp;
has always been the main ectivity,
according to The Chrollick. The
public often fails to undcnland the
paybact&lt; to the coaununity thaucademic research provides.
A policy that would require certain fllcnlty to do more teachiDgllla

reward process favors research more
than teaching and service to the
msti tution. says Goodman. "lt is
c rucial that a heavier teaching load
not be perceived as a punishment
for poor research. Therefore. the
reward structure at the university
has to change so that there are more
rewards for outstanding teaching
and service ...
A

differential W&lt;lddoad can be

Although then: will be no retrenchment.

the reduction includes the lossof$184,386 in

"We· ve been wodcinl!ontbis for20 years."
said Granger. "We are puticularty swprised
by the international interest."
The effort to develop a Slandanl for measuring rehabilitation' s effectiveness was
spurred by Medicare· s move in 1983 to diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) as a basis for
reimbursemenL
Since patients admitted for rehabilitation
are 1101 treated by diagnosis. but by disabil ity.
there was no basis fO&lt; payment under tbe
DRG syS1em Lacldn1 ·a Slandanl to dorument the outcome of their services. rebabilitation facilities were left out of the normal
Medicare payment sySiem. ~- they were
reilllbuned based on an al!OWliJIOe per case

James PhillipS, UB clinical iftsrructor of
rehabilitation medicine and administrator of
UDS. aaid this sy&amp;lem bas an impoount role
to play in reforming the $800 miUion health
care industry. "With our aging population.
we are going to need more rehabilitation
care." he staled. "Rehabilitation is an effi cient use of medical dollars because it etr
abies most patien1s to go back into the
community. which costs mucb less tban caring for them in bospitals. We have been able
to show t1w rebabililalioo facilities provide
pertioen1. cost-&lt;:lfective care. This information is essential in figuring out how our
resouroes are going to be allocated...
In~ interest in tbe group 's assessment method has provided an unexpected
scientific bonus: The group envisions a wealth
of comparative srudies on disabilities and
their treaUnenllhal could lead to new brealtthroughs in care.
" Ultimalely. we ' ll have a wortdwidedata base that will allow u.s to com~ rehabilita·

"We can look to see if people in one country
with a ceruin disability come in needing
more or leas assistance. or go out at a higher
level. Maybe patienu from one facility have
made fantastic gains. We can find out what

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

HE FAC ULTY Senate Executive
Committee last week voted to approve a proposal to suspend admissions to lhc: Educational Psychology
Ed.D. and Ed.M. programs for 1992-93 and
1993-94.
Both prognuns are offered in the Graduate
School of Education.
Judith Adams . director of Lockwood LI brary and chan o f the senate· s academic
plannmg commntee. said Lhc move had lhe
suppon of lhc: faculty of lhc: educational
psychology progl'lll'l), lhc: Graduate School of
Education 's executive commince. and lhc
mterim dean of lhc: Graduate School.
llte measure, she explained. would essenl!ally eliminate lhc: Ed.D. and Ed.M. programs in educational psychology while
retaming lhc: 1'11.0 . and M.A. programs in

According to a repon lhc: FSEC reviewed
from S. David Fan. chair of lhc: executive
committee of lhc: Graduate School of Education, recent years bave seen few applK:ants to

lhc: Ed.D. and Ed.M. programs. Those students now enrolled (13 in Ed.M. and 10 in
Ed. D.) can complete lhc:irdegrees with coun;e
offerings in the remaining programs, she
said.

Further. Adams pointed ou~ "there are
presently no ·unique· courses offered to Ed.M.
or Ed. D. students in educational psychology.
Curricu1um revisions in this program specify

more required COUJ"SCS. essentially eroding
differences between the Ed.M/M .A. and
Ed.D/Pb.D. programs...
Tlte consensus view is lhat eliminating the
programs will"facilitate more effecti;e allocation of decreasing staff resources." Adams
said in her repon to lhc: FSEC.

One phenomenon which gives me opti mism about Otina' s future is the generation
gap existing within the families of many
conservative Communist leaders. While the
aged fathers are conservatives. their children
are unanimously liberal and receptive to
democnuic and modem ideal, and values .
Maoy children of the conservative lligh
ranking Pany cadres are in the U.S . and other
Western oouotries. When I visited some of
these families. the children. all college SUJdents and graduates. criticized the Pany and
its oooservative policies freely . Those poor

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

supporL Some writers on my wish liSI were
raideaa of J!eijing and a few lived
ouiSide my planned travel routes. They
phoned these writers (one even lived as far
away as Canton, the southernmost city on
the mainland) to come to Beijing to meet
me. Earlier, a friend had warned me: "Just

My impression of the writers and critics
in the milituy was extremely good. MOSI
of those I mt!t were young. in their thirties
or early forties. I was given an essay by a
ailic in the milituy, titled "Moral Oloices

rwo Olher papers oo American war litenl ~
tun: prq&gt;ared for tbe symposium.)
It would be a miSiake to believe that
writers and cities in the military were
conservatives. In fact. all of the ones I met
were open-minded. liberal and eager to
' learn about the West. ,And some wen: quite
radical! One young woman write&lt; was
extremely outspOken with SII'Orlg convictions about humanitarianism and justice.
and she has written very interesting and
innovatively constrUCted stories on death
and love in war. Her husband. also a writer.
was a colonel (many writers and critics

woB.ing in the armed f F have military
rank) who was the bi~t-ri'nking officer
in the army taking pan in the Tiananmen
demonstrations. But be wAs only grven a
.. serious warning .. by his superior for hr s
"undisci plined"' cooduct. He has resigned
from the army and is now working as
..chief reporter'' for a newspaper devoted to
environmcntaJ issues.
Anolher very prominent writer. with the
rank of gross colonel (the Chi~ military
has one additional rank abov~ colonel. a
w:yy of p!T'vt-nT!nf havmp IC\0 man ' ~c·nr-r
als), was an aclJve advocate of the 19H9
democracy movement. He was also effec ~
tively proteCted by his superior from persecution. At ftrSI I was surprised to be told by
those writers that they in the milituy had
not been affected much by poSI- Tiananmen
purges. lbeir experience seems to bear out
what I had learned earlier from different
sources. that the milituy WI!&gt; at odds with
the consctVatives in the Pany.
The writers and cities who had planned
to come to the 1989 UB symposium still
deeply regrened the loss of the oppo&lt;1unity
to meet American scholars and critics.
They told me that in the past. numerous
delegations of American writers had co!Tlt'
to Olina to meet Chinese writers, bUI these
gatherings had always been brief chats
without a focus. and. after a banquet. the
~g writers then went on to sightseeing.
1bese Olinese writers had expected a
"!rue exchange of ideas and ideals" with
their American counterparts at the UB
sy mposium. lbey had made extensiv~
preparations. including several lecture
sessions on modem American literature.
aCcompanied by heavy reading assign ments. Furthermore. the C hinese had ~ven
published an anthology of contempomry Chine~ war fiction in English translation
(They did the lr.lns lations expressly ror the
symposium ) and had intended to gi ve each
American sy mposium pantc 1pant a copy of
the anthology .
I was mid thai a number of volumes nf
American war literature had been tramJated inlO Chinese, and were very popu lar
with Chinese leade~ . In I 993. a 40-vnluml·
set of Chinese translations of W estern
literature on World War II will be publi shed. All the writers and critics I met
were look.ing fo rward to another c hance to
meet American scholars and writers.
One thing thai impressed me deeply m
China was 1~ abundance and large variety
of food and merchandise in the mari&lt;eJ and
department Slores. I was delighted to see
that fruits gmwn in the south were sold at
COWIIIess food stands along the streets, and

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Scientists shed light on melting process
NEW PHASE of liquid crystal
films created as they melt and
which is neither a solid nor a
liquid has bee2t discovered by a

"At the moment die findings are primarily
of scientific interest. but anytime you discover a new property of liquid crySials, it
very often has relevance to cornmcrcial applications." said John T . Ho, professor of
pbysics and astronomy at UB. and principal

" ln thts new pilas(:. called the hex.alJC

fixed as it wouJd be in a solid. but there as
some orientational order so it is not entirely

showed that the h&lt;xatic phase has many of
the theoretically predicted properties. and
analyzed bow it makes the transition 10 a
liquid phase."
The scientists alw discovered that the
films, described as "soap-IW: films suspended
across an aperture" and only a few mo lecul~
thick. melt in ways that an: the exact opposite

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

research project designed 10 determine the
probability of seismic activity along the

Previous data on fractures were obUlined
from well-log analyses, soil gas surveys. and
topogrnphical map analyses by Jacobi and
John Fountain. UB associate professor of
geology. who is also pnnc1paJ investigator on
the New Yort State project.
That wort confirmed that the ClarendonLinden faull sys~ conunues into Allegan y

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Accordmg to Roger DesForges of His-

no way to define the productivity of faculty
· Richard Shaw ofCiv1l Engineering stated
that there is no such thing L~ a magic fonnula

Schwartz was asked to bring a reworited
resolution on the question of diffcrenualllOaching loads to the nex t full senatt meeting. lbe
senate could adopl both re.~ Juti ons or choose
one over tbe Olher.

Al most one in six had c hanged the con lent of a course because of this perceived

done so. Overall. the most apprehensive

Our respondents were very much aware
that political correcrness is a hot-bunon
issue. They lrnew !hal supposed Marxists

groups like lhe National Association of

the feverish debate on campus and off: two-

thirds even believed that political correctness
had become a concern on their campuses.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

rying feminisl for a long time,"

laUghed UB Professor of Law
lsabbl Marcus. "And I don't
need to feel a pan of a hierarchy with regard
to status to feel self-realized."
To Marcus. social freedom and cultural
equality lite compelling issues. both JlCI&gt;Oil·
ally and legally. And it is such practices as
sexual harassment and hate s~. recently

"There is enormous
resistance in society to

dealing with the 1111lierlying

issues ofsexual harassnient
tmd hate speech "
given attention by the national media, that
present great social and· cultwal harriers to
women and minorities. according to Marcus.
"But people sl\oold unde:rswld that there is
enormous =istance in society to dealing with
the underlying issues of sexual harassment and
hate speech." said Marcus. who holds a law
degree and a Ph.D in political scienoe from the
University of California at BetUiey. "Both of
these practices are designed 10 deny people
some of their basic rights.··
Sexual harassment stems from a cultural
ideology that is continually a~tempting 10
restrict the social and professional enhancement of women. said Marcus. who delivered
a lecture entitled The Ruporuibility of /nul . kcrual Frudomand Frudom ofSpuch in a
colloquium held las! week .
She pointed out that "Sexual harassment

is a way o'f constantly reminding women that
they are their physical bodies. It' s a way of
forcing women to usc their bodies as currency." she said. "And the more non-lradi-

tional a female'• job is. such as that of a
stockbroker or a shipyard worter. the mor&lt;:
likely it is that harassment will happen ...
Marcus added that Jilhough women are
striving to gain a greater sense of economic
stability and professional recognition in the
w011&lt;place. their motiv., often are misread.
"Women operaiC in a sex-segregated job
market nght now . But women who want 10
make more money and gain more recognition
ar&lt;: not ideologues." she said. "I think it 's

easy for men to believe that women are doing
Lhis for iQeologicaJ reasons or to attract sexual
anention. That's just n01 the case:·
Marcus explained that sexual harassment
th~ job points to the imbalance of power
berween women and men in the workplace.
She called it the "hOSiile workplace," with
some reservation. '1"ha.l: t~rm doesn · t convey

ate speech has a broader sel of d1 stinc·
tions underlying its motives. but is as
difficult to distinguish and eliminate as is
sexuaJ ha..rassment. according to Marcus.
'"The problem with discussing hate speech
is that I don't believ~ the effective way of
dealing with it is to try to outlaw it," she said.
"That s1111tegy can gel very messy. very
quick.ly,'' Marcus explained. "'1be issue itself

that can become a very trying legal situation
for groups who find themselves uu-gets.
"I think that a targeted group needs to take

Because language J!&lt;t an extraordinarily

··1 hold people to thetr worth•. But our
understanding of the power of words and
1mages has been dulled and nanened by
television. That 's why thi s i~ue is so political in nature. We must hold the general population and public offictals 10 whal they say."
She maintaJns that the o nl y meaningful
response to hate speech JS through an undeniable collective social consc ience.

1be CWTCDI afflictions of the Umversity of
Massaclwsetts provide a chillifl3 case srudy
regarding massive withdrawal of stale funding
fromhighcreducatioo. Massachusetts is one of
only two staleS (the other being Rhode Wand)
which rank lower tban New York Swe in
terms of the percent of change in stale support
for public higher educatioo over the pest two
years; its support for its public syslemofhighcr
education hasdeclinedbyis'il&gt; since 1989-90.
In the Jan. 29 issue of 'T'he 'Chronick of
HigMr &amp;h.caJitm. University of Massachuseru Professor Johon Clayton describes the
dramatic effect this decrease in funding has
had at his borne institulion. ACCO&lt;ding to
Professor Clayton's figures. skyrocketing
tui ·on.'i and other resuJts -of Massachusetts '
cuts to its university system have led toa 40%
decrease in applications to the U niversity of

Study links social networking
with lower blood pressure
UB

reae•cll..,.._. tllllt COIItact with lo¥M - · • CllllninC

S1UDY OF social iniCrlletioo
and iiS relationship to blood
pressure cooducled at the university shows that people with
an extensive social networt.
have lower blood pressure than people with
little social contact.
And while connections with othen; in genenl were associated with lower blood pressure, certain aspects in particular--number
of siblings for women and household si:u:
and club participation for men-appeared to
affect blood pressure more than others.
1be SIUdy was conducted by researchers
in the Deparunent of Social and ""'.?'ntivv
Medicine, headed by Maurizio TreVls.an, us·
ing data from the 1960 Buffalo Blood f'lessure Study. ResuliS of the research wen:
published in Psychosomatic Medicine.
To assess the .rrect of social 4&gt;teraction
on blood pressure. researchers selected five
cat.egories of social encounters-llousebold
si:u:. number of siblings. panicit:lltioo in clubs
and moetings, religious service atteodance
and marilal status--and compared them with
Ul-=:--1.- '::r.::::.:::r-.,:,:".-:J: ~ • 1 . ., ... ! ) ' It ,~, , 1\ 1\ ~~ J· r,,/ 0111
- 656 men and 753 women in the study group.
Among women, the only category !bat
showed a significant relationship to blood
pressure was number of siblings. Those with
six or more siblings bad signifJCIJltly lower
blood pressure than those having five or less.
Among men. significant correlations with
blood pressure m owed up only with si:u: of
housebokl---&lt;he larger the better-and club
participatiol&gt;--the more active the hener
1be authon specula!&lt; that the connecuon

pressure in women stems from the fact !bat
women generally are more connected to kin
throughout their lives than men. " It is pos, d&gt;l\

NEW TECHNOLOGY that use&gt;

groundwater aquifers bas been developed by
a UB geologist.
Called surfactant flooding , the process is
the ftm that has been sbown to successfully
eliminate from ·a contaminated aquifer the
separate, insoluble phase of dense organic
chemicals responsible for the most severe

contaminldon.

"The process opens the
possibility for restoring. ..
aquifers to drinking waJer
quality."

"'We have shown we can extract thi s sepa rale phase." said John Fountain, associate

professor of geology at the university. who
developed the technique. " It is the first time
this has been demonstrated in a controlled
fteld test in an aquifer."
Fountain said the ultimate level of cleanup
surfaaam flooding will make possible. is
stiU unclear. but, he added, beeause the proceas eliminates this phase. it "opens the possibility forresroring these aquifers to drinking
water quality."
This separate phase of dense, nonaqueous
phase liquida (known as DNAPLs) is a ciass
of cbemK:als that includes 7 of the I0 most
common contaminants. It forms in aquifers
where signifu:ant volumes of organic liquids
have been spilled.
Based on recently completed fteld teSIS of

there is so much contarninauon. they anpresent as an actual organ1c liqu1d."' he ex -

plained. "It 's like oil and water, the DNAPI_,
don ' t di ssolve, but stay as a separate liqu1d."
According to Fountain. aquifers with th1s

cause because, usi ng c urrentl y available

Although the chemical plume can be phySI cally contained. the aquifer remai ns contanu naled and can never agam he tapped as a

At a recent geologists ' conference on

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

He pointed to the " increased awareness
of i!this year, predominantly because of
recent press reports having to do with

were reponed on by Shonnie Finnegan. uni versuy archivist Reg8rding the possibiliry of
c unailtng sabbaticals for professors with the
hope of saving money. FinnegUl said that
sa bbaticals are a necessary part of an
academic's commitment to the university .
"We are inclined to reaffirm the time-hon o red value of s abbaticals .'' she said .
f'mnegan poinu:d out that sabbaticals al low professors to pursue research or
o;rrengthen their own teaching and that both
of these pursuits are integral to their univer.
sit y service.
Regarding the question of differenuaJ
teaching loads. Finnegan referred to a um vers.1ry-wide policy that stated that a faculty
member who is not producing as much research as other colleagues should not be
rorced to teach more. "Over the loog hall. this
could create a casu: system for people and
could also lead to morale problems," she
said.
lllere was heated discussion of this topic,
with John Meacham. associate vice provost
for undergraduau: education. saying thai differential teaching loads need not be central
policy , but could be a usefuJ altem~tive to
fac ulty who are burned out on their own
research. "Differential teaching loads should
be at !he discretion of the fitculty member-"

abducted and lynched 19-year-old
M;chael Donald in Mobile, Ala-

hama. Their purpose

WIS

to maU

an example of him in retribution for
an Alabama black man having recently been cleared of criminal
charges in an unrelated case.
When the civil suit was fina.lly
broughtiO lrial by Dees in 1988, tbe
elderly Beulah May Donald barelY
had th&lt; strength 10 at1eDd tbe trial
that would decide th&lt; fate of ber
son's murderers.
James Knowles was Dees ' star
wimess. a 19-year-old member of
the Mobile branch of tbe Uniled
Klans. Knowles told how he bad
participated in th&lt; lynching. He told
how Donald bessed for his life as
th&lt;y dngged him to an isolaled
bayou and beat him wilb tree limbs.
When th&lt; trial reached its cooelusion, J~ Knowles stood up
and asked to addiess tbejury .
" I was 14 when my parents got
me 10 join tbe Junior Klan," be said.
" And l was 19 when I helped lyucb

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

aton said that students. slaff. faculty and
administration must work together to
·•retain our exceUencc and minimize our
losses. The problem is, we're decreasing
accessibility to undergradUale and graduau:
students. We , as students. do plan for increases in tuition, but not such large ones ...
He said lhat it was time for everyone at UB
to make a sacrifice. '"lbe student$' sacrifice
IS another tuition increase. W e lmow it's
goi ng to happen. Now my question is, what
can the staff. facu lty and administntiondo to
help us survive the budget reductions ?"
Samuel SchacL associau: professor of
mathematics, said that the students and administration should shift their focus from the
issue of a tuition increase and concentrate on
TA P . "TAP is the real argument here because
the students who nnost desperately need the

• The oldest union of grad employees in
the nation is the Teaching Assistants Association (I'AA. affiliated with the WfT. the
Wisconsin Federation of Teachers) at the
University of Wisconsin at Madison. The
TAA began negotiating informal agreements
with the university in the early "70s. and
continued to do so until the administrntion
withdrew recognition at the end of lhJu decade. T AA lost a semester-long suite in
19&amp;0. aod T As fouild themselves without
coUective bargaining rights until 1985. when
the state legislatllle passed legi!llation afftnning their right, and the univ... ty"s obligation. to bargain. Presently. TAA · s contract
gives T As the same health plan as faculty and
a grievonce procedure; it alsq provides for
job training aod salary increases based on
teaching experience. including experience
gained while a T A was at the university ..

Ulhat is it lhJu the T As and GAs here in

the local upper administrntions. It is therefore easy to imagine thai the GSEU would

unions elsewbere: beaJth insurance as a benefit. salary incteUeS and protections. f..,
waivers, job security, mutually agreed-upon
job deacriptions. a muwally agreed-upon
grievonce procedure. etc. ·
Of cowse. the present budget crisis may
defer for some time any economic-gains and
inslead force graduaJe employees to settle
tel11p&lt;nrily for procecting what little they

have-full tuition waivers. for example .
which already are being eroded. As the
movement's)eaden;pointout,however.even
Ibis is impossible without bargaining rights.

It would he wrong. bowever. to think that
SUNY's grad employ.., unionization movement is motivated purely. or even mostly. by
self-interest. Students involved believe that

that money in ways which will improve graduate education. By heingable to offer prospective graduate students a secure position with

top scbools across the nation.
Unionization will bring some less tan gible benefits to graduate education. as well.
say its proponents: relieve students of some
of the fmancial hardships presently entailed
by graduate school. and they will perform

We suggest that faculty begin a carefully considered discussion of the issue of graduate student employee union ization. It is
perhaps inevitable that this discussion will

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"We're trying to get away from that (st&lt; ·

The fact is, FSA has been changing from

"'The biggest tl)ing is tlryi ng to get tnput

Mention is often made of the breadlines
with the implication Lhar lhe people in those

Our friend Yuri Fomm of Ekaterinburg
(fonnerly Sve rdlovsk ) e xplamed to us that he
is a typical Russ1an m a ttachin g great importance to being a ble to buy fresh bread at least
every other day. A typ1cal American in the
current Rus..&lt;iia.n carc um stances would either
balr.e his or her bread (with the flour all our

We have become accustorneti m
n::cc nl decades 10 one-stop grocery shopptng

in supenharl&lt;ets. Wbeo Americans find that
in Russia it is necessary to shop in scattered.
specialized stores, they conclude that the
siruation is intolerable. However . an Ameri ·
cao finding ooly such specialized shops in
pans of Western Europe would wriU: glow ingly of the quaintnesS of this IIl'lllgement
and mention only in passing its extreme
inconvenience. Why should the lack of su perT1lllli&lt;ets in Russia be in~ differently?
It must also be pointed out that mucb of
their food Russians don't pun:hase at aiL
Often there is atleastoneramshaci&lt;Jeddacba
or vacant plot in an extended family where
Rus¥&gt; "-• e long been expert in growing

accuraU:, do journalists frequently print di rect quotations in which Russian citizens
describe the food situation as intolerable?
Art: these invented quotations? No . but again
a little under&gt;tanding o fRussiao psyc hology
1s needed. For centuries Russians have been
as fond of describing ''the glass " as " halfe mpty" as American s have been fond of
descri bm g it as .. half-full ." Thi s is not to say.
of co urse. that Russian htstory (aod the
present ) does not contain its shm: of ghastly
events and c ircumstances . Our point is sim ply tha i American journalists seem incapa bl e o f di s tinguis hing between these
genuine! y horrible e vents and inconveniences
of grocery shopping in Russia today.
The remains of the Cold War also play a
role 10 thts m1srepresem.ation. Allbough miJj.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

that understanding the material that wa'
stressed at a four-year institution helped h1m
make better choices of what 10 teach hi s
students.
"The whole philosophy of doin g that program was excellent.- he said. "We were shown
what new things were going on in the field,
though some of it did go over my head. The
diversity of topics was excellent and I was
able to s~ ideas with others. I also appreciated learning new classroom techniques."
1be number of topics covered was prob-lematic for some who attended the progrnrn.
according to Shames. "We covered a lot of
ground in two weeks. T'bere was a whole

battery of connected material. but I realized
that there was too wi~ a range of capabilities

police :ue able to intervene in off-&lt;alll(lU\.

executive director of !be Campus Violeoce

here at UB would be uncomfonahly close---to be blunt-«&gt; fid dling while Rome burns. Simply
puL UB is in the midst of a crisis.
Recently. we learned or a proposed S 150 million reduction in the
State University of New York · s
total state operating budget ror
1992-93 . The University at
Buffalo· s proponional share or thai
reduction would be $22.5 million.
It is possible that we will have to
take thai cut. Let me sket&lt;:h ror you
some possible or probable consequences of a reduction of this mag nitude:

instituu on ~.

and our natjonaJ and international

partners have increasingly confiiTJle:d-t.hat our university has the
stuff of a great public university .
We had much to be proud or
throughout the 1980s. and we have
had much to be proud or in 199091.1n keeping with tradition. I will
recount and recap some or the year's
accomplishments today .
But to offer you simply a rosy
picture of oor successes in.the past
year would be misleading, because
cwreot events 81 UB and plans for
tbit_university's fuwre are the crucUil issues we need 10 address right
now. This is a moment of ltuth for
the Uoiverllity at Buffalo, and for
the State University or New Yott..
and for the State of New Yark. In
fact, this is a moment or truth ror
bolh our oountty and our world.

Let l't1le note. too. that while a
significant increase in tuition may
paniaUy offset the expected reduc-

tioos, higher tuitiot,! can only b&lt;
part of the solulioo.'Each SlO mil lion neduction in stale 'fuoding for
the SUNY system would require a
S IOO~increase in SUNY tuition.
Since increased tuition would guarantee cen.ain decreases in enroll ment. we project that SUNY 's
c ~nt annual ruition would have
to be tU&gt;ubled in order to affect the
proposed S150 million budget re ·
duction.
Clearly. even with additional
tuition revenues. there will bave to
be extensi ve cuts to programs and
services at UB. including academic
and research programs and services.
These are the very components or
our university community we have
most sought 10 shield from recent
statereductioos. whiclt have already
tolaled 0-$20 million during the
past four yean. Now. in one year
alone, we face reductions of an
amount greater dian thai rour years.

If such a reduction in fact occurs. then the JrOO&lt;SSOfUB · selimination from the l'llllks or major

been building at UB over the last
decade will be destroyed: the uni -

ways in which the
current shifts in
our society will
critically and
crucially inflect
our mission."

versJty will be thrown into a downward spiral from which it will take
many years to recover. and important ground gained in recent years
will be lost ror the foreseeable fu ture , at least for the next gener.uion
of co llege students.
T1le S22.5 mimon reduCLwn for
UB in 1992-93 would also have a
devastating impaa on all sectors ur
the Western New York ~anom y.
in which UB is a S1.5-bt llion-a year partner. Losing a total of more
than 1.000 jobs on UB · s state and
non-state payroUs- and Lhat IS what
confronts us--&lt;:ould amount to as
much as aS I 00 million loss to local
business, with a concomitam loss
or some 2.500 UB-related jobs in
thecommuniry . lfthe proposed re duction occurs. the tax bases of
Erie County and local mun icipali ties will be eroded: UB suppon ror
local hospitals will be substantiall y
decreased. with some $3.5 milli on
inuniversity~ntal paymemsellml nated ; andaiiUB suppon for Westem New Yon cu ltural institutiom
will b&lt; eliminated.
In less than two weeks, UB will
enter 1992 as a well-recognized
university with outstanding facult y
and staff. internationally /'eCOgl\ized
academic and research pro~. a
bright and divene SIUdent body. a

thriving interaction with our home
community. and very seriously constrained resources. More than ever

befo~ . we will have 10 decide what
strengths we will proleCI and wlw
ground we will yield .
And it is time ror us to find
additional sources or support other
than the State or New Yott.. for the
era of abundant state support may
be closing . UB will always be a
state unJ versity Wederiveour fran .
chise from the state: its people han
generously endowed us with excel~
lent facilities: and service to our
state will always be a fundamental
principle underlying our mission as
a state university; but we caJlD()(
depend on the Slate ror all the suppan required 10 be a great public
university.
While I believe thai bener days
will come ror the state and n.ational
economies, they wrll be dijJere111
days. With the end or the superpower rivalry , the military -indus·
trial sector wall cease to be so
primary an underpinning of the
United States · econom y. and the
knowledge-serv~ec sector will become a l1lOff! central component of
our international competitiveness.
In addition, the workforce--the
people wbo serve and the people
who are served- will be a very
different woritforce with very different needs. The fiscal difficulties
we now face n ow in substantial
pan from th is process of economic
uans(ormation .
UB today has to recogmze and
prepare for the ways m wh1ch the
current shifts m our soc iety will
criticaJiy and crucaall y innect our
mission ; to preserve and strengthen
those of our initiative!! which will
allow w.. as a publit.: una versity. to
meet the needs of our community,
state, and nation w. w~ enter the
2 1st century : to develop new ways
in which our programs can be more
responsiv~ to those needs and more
productive for lhe constituencies
we serve: and to create broader and
stronger pannerships 1Nith various
of those constituencies as means of
defming our service and support·

T

hi s time of transition presents
the University at Buffalo with
a paradox . On the one tland. we
face grave threats Lo our distinctive
and distingut shmg mission as a
pubhc um versuy On lheother. Lhis
unprecede nted c hallenge to our
management and vasion can becol'l'le

One odtecchangc in administration is still pending: under the leadership of Dr. Joyce E. Sirianni.
Interim Dean of the Graduate
School and Chair of the Dcpan ment of Anthropology. a campuswide committee was convened in
Octobertoconduct a national search
for our new provost. Whoever fill s

A little over a year from no""' . tn
mlt.i - 1993. we will ce lchmle thl'
n pcnmg n l lht.&gt; new F;n(' Art s Cl•n
ter. which will bring together all
our fine and performing ans de ·
panments on this campus for the
first time . We expect that the Fine
Ans Center will not on ly add a new
dimension to cultural life here on
campus. but will also offer potential for exciting new pannersh1ps
with the Western New York community. We look forward to guidance in those effons from our new
Dean of Arts and l.euers. Dr. Kerry
S. Gran~ a talented scholar and
accompl ished arts admi nistrawr
who came lO us this year from the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln .
We arc aJso workmg toward
co mpletion of two other cu.rn:nt
capital projects. Phase I of the fac ·
ulty of Nanltal Sciences and Mathematics co mplex on the non.h
campus and a research building for
the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences on the south campus . The FNSM building. in
particular, will help enhance undergraduate life by bringing classroom and office space for the
Dcpanrnent of Chemistry and several other depanrnents to the north
campus. thereby reducing the num ber of trips between campuses
which many of our students make
every day.
lbere is a vast and bitter irony,
howeve r, in talking .about these
capital projects. They will do much
to ~ our campus seem more
like home to our students, faculty,
and staff-and yet. as previously
noted , we may have to reduce ow
student populat.ion drastically, and
our resources may allow for only
minimal programming, staffing.
and equipping of these new spaces
We 11\USl, wherever possible. seek
more community partners to suppon activities in these spaces in
onlerto make them fully functional

and fully available to the Sludents
they are intended primarily to serve
We also need new community
partners for another effort-&lt;&gt;ur
effort to ensure greater personal
safety for our students wbo live off
campus. We have been deeply
troubled in the past year by the
tragic death of lao Faigeobaum. a
UB student, in a bouse 1m in Uni·
versity Heights. Not long ago. a
young woman, one oflan · s friends .
went to that now boarded-up h~
to remember Ian before her own
imminent departure from Buffalo.
and an assailant allegcd.ly forced
her inside the bouse and raped her.
Even though these tragedies and
others like them arc not legally or
functionally within the university 's
jurisdiction. since they occurred off
campus. they arc very rrwch a part
of our concern for members of our
uni versity community. We are
proud of the impulse which has led
some students to form pauols in the
University Heights a.rea--dtough
we arc concerned about their safery
as well-and the university has
fonned an official task force to add= issues of pc=nal safety off
campos. S'\JI. wewiU seck increased
assiStance and commitment from

Here at home: , we are placing a
renewed paramount imponance on
the common needs, corrunon interests, and common concerns of the

stress here is on what we have in
common: our communities--campus. local. regional. state. nalional.
global . ln these uncommon times.
UB has uncommon intellectuaJ and
practicaJ resources toofferourcom~
munities. We must benet serve aJI
those communities by working with
them to identify their needs. by
refocusing and streamlining our
operations so that they meet those
needs. and by seeking support from
all sectors of our commun ities for
lhose needs. ThaL. I believe. is a
matter of common sense--the kind
of common sense that will keep UB
vital and viable in the m1dst ol

UB Black Heritage exhibit, on display in the
Undesgraduate Library during Black History Monlh,
highlights the history of the fltSI black graduates and
the earliest known nondiscriminatory policy of the
university.
Rev. J. Robert Love. M.D. graduated from UB
medical school in 188Qr A controversial figure,
Love has been called the inspire(ef Marcus Garvey, charismatic leader who organized tht' first imponant U.S . black
nationalist m Gvement .
The lives of both men are detailed in the exhibit
Mazy Talbert, a prollUDCnt Buffalonutn tor whom Talbert
Hall was named, was influential in the activist movement.
Talbert. along wilh Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois,
created lhe Niagara Movement in 1905. which isknownaslhe
precursor to the NAACP. Talbert also spoke across the
country under the banner... A Million Women United to
Suppress Lynching:·
Another landmark date in UB · s history was 1958. Willie
Evans and Mike Wilson were on the "best small college
football team in the east."' After having gone 8·1. beating
teams like Harvard and Columbia. UB's football team was
invited to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando. Florida. At that
time. the Bowl's policy specified "no intenningling of the
races in athletic contests."
Because of lhis policy, UB Chancellor Clifford Fwnas .
promptly declined the invitation. stating. " Willie Evans and
Mike Wilson are two of our finest men. It would be unthinkable that they would be subjected even to the possibility of
discrimination in any n\anner. way or form."
The histories of these and other men and women are
featured in original documents and photographs dating from
the 19lh century in the exhibit, whicb was prepared by
University Archives and the Undergraduate Library.

Now, Ill of this is~ by an

&lt;llowtb bas leveled off, caused by an

aging populaL1on and changing de~
graphic patterns but aJso due to declining
levels of federal government suppon for
loans and grants for college anendance.
"The federal government has also cut back
on funds provided for scientific research
and this bas 001 only wealr.ened basic research but bas also eliminated an important
element in tbe budgets of many prominent
resean:IHJriented univemties.
1be Slates ha\'e tnlditiooally carried the
financial tuden of higher education and
their problems increased as the federal government cut back in tbe 1980s. Now, with
tbe impact of tbe recessioo increasingly
severe. tbe Slates are cutting their financial
commit:menls to higher educltion drostically,
creating severe crises in many states.
Private institutions. which have been
raising tuition fees each yur for more than
a decade at rates higher than inflation. find
that rnaJtt:t fon:es are preventing thj!m
from ina-easing tuition lc:ve!S-as t~y have
become used to doing. They have had to
cut back on costs and have-al;:J;ad to limit
scholanltip assistance that tbey can offer.
lbese are a powerful and unprecedented
set of advene circurnstanCc.s which have
come together at tbe same time and the
results are creating grave crises.
It is possible to point to the inevitable
results of the unfolding siruation in Amen can higher education:
• Access is being limited. The e)(pccta
tion lhat anyone with a high school diploma and a strong desire for higher
education can attend college is being destroyed. Rising costs, deliberate reductions
in enrollments because of budget cutbacks
and increased competitiveness in admis·
sions all mean that many will be denied
access to higher education or will have to
settle for man: limited options.
The burdens will be felt especially
among minorities. who have only recently
been able to take advantage of higher education. However, lhe middle class is also
affected as entry to the best public um ver
sities is becoming highly competitive and

viduals is rising. Tuition in the public sec·
tor is dramatically increasing as the burden
is being shifted from public to private
resources . This means that a significant
segment of the middle class may ftnd
higher education more difficult to afford.
The poor will. for the most pan_ be able to
qualify for the reduced fmancial aid packages avai lable from both public and private

but because cutbacks att often made m ke y

• Research is being de-&lt;Omphasiz.ed.
Funds. facilities. tinx and suppon for research are being reduced everywhere and
m vtnually all f1elds . Th1s means thai

Whal IS 10 be done ·• The solutwns to
h1gher education 's problems are 001 eAtraordinarily difficult . even in the conte;{t
of America ' s current economic problems.
lbc: first step is to recognize that colleges
and universities are a major and 1ndeed
unique national resource---&lt;:ontributing to
the economy as well as to the well·being of
most Americans. Such a recognition wiJJ
prevent the wholesale damage to the higher
education system that is now occurring.

hose who benefit from higher education
must be prepared to pay ~tion
colliges and universities
should be significantly increased for those
who can afford to pay while ensuring that
sufficient scholanhip and loan funds are
available for the needy. Academic institutions must be prepared to malt:e difficult
c hoices about priorities. about lhc rnAlnk nance of programs of excellence and occasionally about tbe elimination of areas
which are below standard. Management in
higher education can no doubt be streamlined and improved.
American higher education has been
under severe pressure for several years. In
a few suues, such as Massachusetts, repeated budget crises have already p;rmanently damaged tbe universities and
restricted access. The fat, for the most pan.
has been eliminated. Continued cuts will

costs because the bulk of the budget consists of personnel costs-the teachers.

The prQpOSed 1992-93 SUNY State Opero·
tions budget mandates that SUNY increase
its oet tuition revenues by S60 million . and
suspends for one year the identical rates
requirement. Within the next 12 months,
legislation for pennanent chan ge will likely
be introduced. However. substantial oppo-sition is anticipated.
Budget issues weighed heavily on the
entiJe Senate meeting. In an opening briefing, SUNY Cenlnll staff member Craig
Connolly observed that in recent years. the
State has withdrawn massive suppon from
SUNY. In 1988-89. taJt dollars provided
87.4% of the SUNY operations budget.
This figure declined to 76.7% in 1989-90.
dropped further to 60.7% in 1990-91
"(helped by a massive infusion of S255
millioo in one-shot funds). then rebounded
slightly to 67 .4 .% i~ the revised 1991-92
Executive Budget. 1l1e proposed 1992-93
budget provides only 59.4% of the necessary budget, leaving the university to raJsc

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Regan 's decision totemJX&gt;runl y

The decision applies o nly to those in Tiers
II. til and IV and was effective with lhc Jan
15. 1992 paycheck .
The stop in contributions isn't evident tn
the paychecks of affected employees. however. since state con tributions do not come

the ir pensaons at rcurement.
"lf this deci sion stays in effect,·· said UB
Assoc iate Vice President for Human Resources C lifford B. Wilson. "there will be a
significant effect on the amount of money
ava ilable for individuals at retiremenl"
The university and UUP. the union that
represents faculty and prof~ional staff. are
protesti ng Lhe action. which springs from a
possible conflict becween the Retirement and
Social Security Law and the State Education
Law. as they concern the state's contribution
to the Optional Retirement Program (ORP).
avai lable 10 employees of SUNY. CUNY
and the State Education Deparunent.
Acconling 10 Wilson, the language in the
Education Law clearly states what the contribution rates should be. while the language in
the Retin:ment and Social Security Law says
that the rates for ORP should not exceed the
contributions that the state was making to
ERS(J'RS retirement plan members.

ecause of the conflicting language, said
Wilson. the comptroller asked the state's
attorney general for an interPretation. Ac·
cording to Wilson. the attorney general in
December wrote to Regan "in language that
apparently Regan found unclear. So he
stopped the state's contribution toTien; ll, ill
and IV.
" Employees in Tiers Jll and IV contribute
three perCent themselves. so that amounl was
forwarded to TIAA-CREF. No monies were
sent for Tier ll. since those individuals don ' t
have an employee contribution.••
Those in Tier I are unaffecled by the
decision. since they operate under tbe original-and Bppaiently much clearer--;;tatute.
"We understand that it's a significant
change," said Wilson, "and are worl&lt;ing 10
get this issue resolved. SUNY and the union
are working together to convince the comptroller that his actions are inappropriate." 0

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Agger likes intellectual oVerlap
SocioloO eMir, 8Uthor of new book, says aoul.., of depa'b-ml
boundaries at UB provides stimulation feN car-, writing

EN AGGER likes breaking down
boundaries-especially those
lhat involve UB 's community of
acbolars. Creating a sense of intellectual overlap is exciting and
stimulating 10 Agger, chainnan of UB 's Department of Sociology .
""UB is unique in that way.·· Agger says. ··1
like lhe fact that so many people ""' doing
critical social and culturallheory in a variety
of departments from Sociology to Comparative Literature and English ," explained the
author oflhe new book, A CriticaiThLory of
Public Ufe: Knowledge, Discourse and Po/i .
tics in an Agt of Dtclint .
"It's very special. Tbat aspect of th is um versity has been fantastic for me.··
Agger has had a busy and multi -faceted
career since became 10 UB from lhe Univer sity of Waterloo in Ontario in 1981 . Besides
publishing nine books and 30 articles in the
past I I years, Agger has been the associate
dean of lhe Graduate School, diTec10r of
undergraduate studies for Sociology. a mem ber of the Faculty Senate and its e.ecuuve
committee, a mentor for lhe Honor&gt; Program
and lhe C&lt;Hiirectorof lhe Graduate Group in
Feminist Studies. to name onl y a few .
But through it all. Agger most appreciates
what be calls the " intellectual connections"
that be has made here.
"When I arrived , for example. I didn ' t
know that lhe English Department was so
large and that so many people within it we"'
interested in critical theory and different way s
of approaching science and cul ture . It 's been
a very exciting time 10 be doing what I do

here," be said.
In his book. Agger contemplates what he
calls lhe "two major political and philosophical developments of our timo--peKStroik.a

and postmodemism.'' In his view. perestroika
represents the fail~ of communist social ism. and postmodemism marks a deadening
of popular faith in progress that has characterized capitalism from its earliest stages in
the United States.
.. Wt 're experiencing a crisis of Soviet
Marxism and a crisis of capitalist modemism. I view lhe Soviet experience not as a test
of Man 's principles but of tho~ pursued by

"UB is unique in that way.
/like the fact that so many

people are doing critical
social and cultural theory
in.a variety ofdepartments
from Sociology to
Comparative Literature
and English."

....

And w1th the degenerauon of capitalist
pnnciples very evident wi thi n tM present
econom y of the U.S .. according 10 Agger,
there could be a drastic upswing of belief in
populist ideo logies such as lhe environmenUll movement, the women's and minorities
movements and those groups that oppose
nuclear proliferation. 'These demotTBtic soctaJ movements represent augurs of change
m American culture. These movements are
all very opposed to h~erarch y and bureaucracy. •· he ex plai ned.

W

hile he believes that the time is now
for what he deems " the new social
reconsb'Uclion,' ' Agger also pointed out that
the neo-conservative po litics of politicians
such as Davod Duke and Pat Buchanan could
end up twning lhe tide in America. "It could
move that way. There· s reall y no way to
predict the o utcome of o ur present problems.
The destabilizing C&gt;f society cou ld move to
the left or the right." he said .
.. But I do feel that as the '90s wear on. if
we don't do our own restructuring in
west. any of these moveme ntS could gather
great momentum
He is also quick to poml out that he does
not consider capitalism to be a so und parme:
for democrac y . ''I'm for democracy, but I
believe tha t capitahsm 1s a hindrance to it."
Agger says ''That' s wh ) I say that we're
experienc mg a cn s1s m capltahsm. ln that
respect.. I don ' t thmk w e · r~ ) Imp ly tn another
recession but a vel) dee p uough . a second
great depress1on "
And yet there 1s ho ~ . accordmg to Agger.
'The re are wa y) m wh ~e h populism has deep

Agger ' s viston of Marxist ideology has
hltle 10 do with the commumsm pracuced by
the So v1et Uni on and Eastern Europe f-Jr
muc h of the 20th century . But he does con Sider htmself a Marxist.
"My versiOn of Marxism ts democrauc

"In the 20th century. lt's not an uncom mon phenomenon for a local team to draw an

tend to identify with

One ot these 2U 1s haJfway to eanung ht:r
private pilot's license. Nancy Scherer, preservationist for Lockwood Library aod panlime Millard Fillmore College student, has
logged 25 houn of flight time since staning
last summer. Sbe says she ' s wanted to team
bow to fly since childhood. but "the impetus
to actua..Uy start came when I discovered that
there was a flying club on campus."

Scherer describes flying as !be experience
of a lifetime. "It's more thao exhilarating,it'lla high."
fVe r most exciting aviation experience
occurred at a mini -air show called a 'ily-in"
al tbe Akron airfield. 'There was a Beaver
seaplane there, aod we got 10 fl y it dowo to
Dunlr.ir:t aod landed it on the water (Lake
Erie). We saw the Peace Bridge. Niagara

nearly catastrophic experience he once had.
"I was coming in for a landing when the
flight tower cleaned anotber plane to talr.e off
before I could land. As I came in_ his brakes
locked up, stalung him maybe 30 feet down
tbe ruoway." Schlosser acted quiclr.ly aod
resumed a circung air traffic pattern. "You
have to he careful-if I wasn ' t paying attention, in anotber 30 seconds I might have
laoded on him."
A minimum of only 20 hours dual (supervised) and 20 hour.; solo flight time is needed
to obtain private pilot certification. The next
higher classes come at 125 hours for an
Instrument Rating (IR). 250 hour.; for a commercial class license. and additionaJ training

after that to become a Certified Fl ying Instructor (CPI).
lbe Aying Association currently doesn't
offer IR or CA certification but hopes to do
so in tbe future, as do larger clubs at SUNY
Farm.iogdale aod Ohio State.
One of tbe club's advantages for would be pilots is the savings--Treichler estimates
a cost of roughly S 1.500 10 $2,000 tO obtain
privale pilot certification through the club,
whereas private lessons would run between
S3.500 and $4,000.

which the glider is lifted aloft-it may ~

Schlosser. It's affordable, aod tbe requirements are less stringent. he says.
The club has also offered tours of the

Budget crisis causes phase-out
of Fredonia nursing program

New Bureau Staff

U

B IS PHASING out it' satell ite
nursing program at the State Univer.;ity College of Fredonia due to
state budget cutbacks and declin ing enrollment
'"We deeply regret having 10 talr.e thi s
action. but the budget situation left us no
alternative," said MeccaS. Cranley. dean of
tbe.UB School of Nw.ing, in announcing the
phaseout
'"The program has operated at a defocit for
the past two years because of declining enrollment," she added ... We have been able to
malntain it only through significant subsidies
from UB and Fredonia. Unfonunatel y. that os
no longer an option.··
Designed 10 he self-supponing with an
enrollment of 30 students per class, tbe program has generated decreasing interest in
recent years, according to Cranley. Sbe said
that there are only 19 studeots in the class
who will graduate in May. and only 20 students are anticipaled for lhe new class enter·
ing this month.

The program will shutdown in May 1994.
when the class em.eri ng this month is scbed·
uled to complete lhe 2· 1/2 ·year curric ulum.
UB and Fredonia will continue to provide a
fu ll academic program during this period,
despite the state fiscal crisis, Cranley said.
The cooperative effon to provide nursing
training in the southern tier began in 1983.
When the program c loses Jts door.;, nearly
100 nurses will have graduated with a bacca·
laureate degree. The program is designed for
registered nur ses "'' ho hold either an
associate'sdegree from a two-year co ll ege or
a diploma fTom a nursing school.
Cranley said the door w1ll be left open for
restaning the program 1f needs c hange and
financial resources become a"' ai lable in the
community.
''The School of Nursmg ha.!. enjoyed 1ts
associstion w1th southern t1er agencies and
colleges. and especia~ y the very able students who have e11f0lled on the program."
Cran ley said "We· are very proud of thei r

we were very much a community
institution, fOUDded in I 846 by
community leaders and imbricated in the life of Western New

Y&lt;XL
While those who fust envisioned lbe Univenity of Buffalo
ultimately had in mind lbe devel opment of a comprehensive university. UB,-was. during its f u-st
half-cenl!!fy , al!ollection of professional scR_ools which trained
pr11Ctitiopcn&gt;-&lt;locto!l&gt;. lawyen;.

this region . From UB 's beginnings as a private institution, we
were sbiped by our community to
serve our community. Much of
our faculty came from lbe community. especially from the pro-fessions. and training for lhc

L' CIHCfJ)I C:'-.'1..' of l f8 ·.., rtll ~ \hln
Even from our earliest days.
however. research has been a
signifteant activity of lbe faculty .
The fonnation of a College of
Ans and Sciences. beginning in
1913 with lbe addition of lbe first
liberal arts and sciences courses
to lbe curriculum. positioned UB
to become a comprehensive research univer.;ity. But teaching.
training. and service--all at very
high levels----&lt;emained a special
focus at UB prior to its rne.-ger
with SUNY.
In 1962. when we joined
SUNY. all parts of our mission
were expanded in both scale and
intensity. We sought now to serve
our entire state (and ultimately
our nation), as well as to compete
on a level wilh lbe United States·
ftnest resean:b univen;ities. In our
expanded role. over lbe past 30
yean, I believe !bat we have
made our greatest progress in lbe
areas of research and graduate
education.

especially in lbe sciences. and
Albany and Binghamton have
developed excellence in their
resean:b and graduate education
missions by stnJegic cboices as
to empbasis and focus.
UB bas made its remarbble
progress as a public university,
partKularly in resean:b and
graduate education. while at the
same time bolding onto its traditions in undergraduate teaching
and public service. In my view, it
is our combination of srrengtbs in
teaching, in service, and in scbolarship. research. and creative
activity which positions UB to
make a further leap forward. and
to become and be recognized u a
great public research university.
Over tbe past decade we have
become inured to tbe president
and provost calling for us to
suive for recognition as one of
America ·s tdp ten public research
univen;iliesPftbink that this has
been a grut'and rhetorically
useful flttying cry. Some observe"' have argued that, under our
top ten rallying cry. we undul y
emphasized one word in the triad
tem1 " public res~arc h un iver,fi ty." I would argue that this was
a proper emphasis. In our tr.msition from a private to a large
public university. we expended
e normous energy in expanding
and relocatmg In the proces~. we

and we accomphshed much m
that regard. But we e ntered the
decade of tbe '80s somewhat
unfulfilled in terms of our resean:h and graduate training
missions. and particularl y in lhe
degree to whic h we secured ex ·
tema1 sponsorship for tho~ missions .
In the '80s, under tbe top ten
rallying cry. we built upon the
foundations for excellence in
research and gniluate educauon
thai were laid in our previous two
decades as the Univen;ity ai Buffalo. and we built upon lbe proud
traditions of the University of
Buffalo. And we learned better
than ever how to seek and secure
external sponso11&gt;hip. especially
pubqc sponsorship, from the
federal government and state
agencies other than SUNY. In
many important respects. we
matured u a public research
university during lbe '80s.
But we are stiU young as a
public univenity. We slill have
enormous potential to tap. So we
should up lbe ante. so to speak.
We should not settle for a relative
measure of excellence in a list of
ten . Rather, we should aspire to
stand and be recogniz.ed, in absolute ICI'mS. as a great instirution .
as a gre-at public re.se.arch univtrsity. In order to realize that vision. bowever, we will have to
give bolh grutet Gild more equal
empbasis to all three elerilents of
1be triad tenn public "search

unive.rsity .
Great universities excel in
graduate education and in lbe
resean:b, scbolanhip. and ere. ative activity which are lbe d istinctive and diltinguisbiog pans
of lbe univenity environment
Great univenilies a110 teach well

at lbe undergraduate level. And
great public universities serve
their societies. Their service
Oows from !heir resean:b and
teaching. Public service is also a
major motivation for both public
and private support of research
universities. In lbe rears ahead
we will all have to wort very
bard to genente such support for

our enterprise.
In lbe balance of these re-

matl&lt;s. I will talk most about our
public service mission. largel y
because 1 think it is that pan or
our portfolio about wbich we
have spoken lbe least. By so
doing. I mean to make us more
conscious of that service missioo.
but not less conscious or our
teaching and our research. Much
bas been said and done regasding
those subjects; mucb more will be
said and done with respect to
them; but we need to be more
conscious and precise about how
teaching.and research relate to
our special role ·as a publ ic university.
As a fu-st point. let' s observ&lt;
and celebnlte the fact that we
already are a major contributor in
lbe area of public service. Over
lbe past 30 years UB faculty ,
staff. and students have done
much to help alleviate tbe social
condition of our ci(y. our region.
and our state. Over lbe next de·
cade or more. we will focus and
expand our effons to help our
society aid large numhen of our
community who are increasingly
v1si blc . increasiitgly miserable .
and tncreasmgly m need.

our School of Medicine and Bi&lt;&gt;medical Sciences is a leader in

We h.ave aJso used our resources to assist in the economic

become more efficient and preserve jobs. Tile two UB incubators. managed through the UB
Foundatioo by the Western New

research programs are malting
great stride&gt;; in developing tech nologies which ·can be tnnsferred
to holh the pu~li c and private
sectors and put into widespread
use. Such is lhe work of the Center for Exce Uena: in Document

And. through lhe UB Conserve
program. our staff members are
leading ow uni versity community
in our efforts here on campus to
economize in our own use of
natural resources.
I should no te . also. that many
of our activities interact synergistically to expand our impact. For
e xample . our National Center for
Geographic Information and
Analysis collaborates both with
CEDAR and with the Great
Lakes Program. and the research
on AIDS conducted by the Center
for Advanced Molecular Biology
and Immunology resonates
deeply with lhar of lhe National
Research Institute on Oral Biology. And these are only two ex amples.
UB has also sought to apply its
energy to lhe protection and preservation of our greatest natural
resources-&lt;lur c hildren. our
people , and the great diversity of
our heritage. Our Graduate
School of Education has started
to establish panner.;hips with the
Buffalo Public Schools to assi st
in the professional development
of reacher.; and ro offer srudents a
glimpse of a university education.
a glimpse that will help them set
high gnals. Our Division of Srudent Affair.;· Special Programs
are making the pursuit of such
educational goals easier by providing students from
underrepresented groups with a
support network !hal assists them
in getting to UB and succeeding
here. Through the new American
History Academy. we are helping
prepare secondary teachers to
enric h their srudents ' understanding of our culrural and hisrorical

diversity.
And. through such endeavon

mono widespread appreciation of
lh8l rich and diverse cultural

be greatly enhanoed by the e xrraordinary facilities of our new

We are also belping to preserve Western New Yod:'s human resources through our annual

You Cked for
a computer that~ real

cOllege material.

We heard you.

The ideal computer for college needs certain things. Like a
lllOU8e, to make it easy to use. Preloaded software, that'll let
)0'1 aeate impressive papers with graphics and spreadsheets. And great tools, like a notepad, calendar and
canlfile. It shoU.I.d also be expandable, so it can grow with
)Qilr

needs.

The IBM Personal System/2• has all this at a special

student price and aHordahle loan payments. And on a
different note, you can get a great low price on the Roland•
Desktop Music System that transforms )Qilr IBM PS/2• with
Micro Channel• into an exciting comprehens~ music maker.
The PS/2 is perfect for college because you told us just
what you needed. And no one knows what it takes to be real
college material better than you.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Protect against flu with shot,
infectious disease expert says
.,~­

News S..eau Staft

HOMAS ll BEAM, Jr., chair of the
..FDA' s advisory committee on infectious diseases and editor-in-chief
of Infections in Medicine, advocates
nu shots for everyone this year, fortified by
the antiviral drug amantadine if necessary.
Type A influenza. the most serious kind of
nu and the one showing up in the u.s. this
season, can be deadly to the elderly and
others susceptible to respiratory infections.
'The elderly account fo_r 50 percent of the
Ou hospitalizations and 95 percent of the
pneumonia/influenza deaths. according to
Beam, associate professor of medicine and
microbiology at UB, and associate chief of
staffforeducation at the Buffalo VA Medical
Center.
And while influenza A generally isn ' tlifethreatening to younger people, it can cause
considerable pain and inconvenience. "If you
are a young, otherwise healthy person. it will
put you to bed for a week." stated Beam. "A
schootcbild will miss a week of school, an
adult a week ofworlc.duringwhicbtimethey
will feel awful."
A flu shot provides a good defense against
the flu, but it isn't perfect .
"Flu · vaccine is about 70 percent effec-

T

ti ve," Beam said. "'Thirty percent of those
who get a nu shot will still get the flu. And the
vaccine may not be given before flu statts to
appear in yourcommunity. lfthal's the case,
it's wonhwbile to prescribe amantadine to
high-risk individuals until they get their flu
shot and the immunity takes effect. which is

about two weeks."
If a1»tienr does have the flu. amantadine

said. because it specifically

he drug could substitute for anu shot if it
weren't for bothersome side effects.
Amantadine can cause sleeplessness and lack
of ability to concentrate amoog younger
people, and confusioo and disorientation
among older patients; according to Beam.
"'The drug worlls as well as flu shots in
preventing the flu. but for complete protcction you need to take it for six weeks," Beam
said. "Most people don't want to be confused
for six weeks."
Influenza vaccine is safe as well as effective, Beam stressed. 'The shot does not cause
Guillain-Barre syndrome or any other abnormalities, be said. For most people, side effects are limited to a sore ann.

LACING GREAT empbasis on

William
R. Gre ·
on Tuesday called
for
social awareness as
the Uni~ty
dramatic changes in
world. affam, the national economy, and
changmg demographics.
Speaking at The Commons before a joint
meeting of the Faculty and Professional Staff
Senates, Greiner e~izcd that his was n01
the traditional "Swe of the Univenity" offem! annually by former President Steven B.
Sample. He plans to give a State of the
University report to the University Council at
u.s Dec. 19 meeting, and may rein.stilllle a
formal address next year. But for now be
wishes to offer a "working paper," inviting
dtalogueon planning the Univ~ty' s future.
Greiner said the public university in coming years faces "a vast social
cultural, political. and CCX:.
nomic restructuring both at
home and in our international
community .

'

Greiner sees gr~r
public service role

forUB
President invites dialogue on- ·
planning University's future

.. More than any other
single institurion in our socjety, the public university ·offers an array of tools for that
process of reshaping; it will
be, ~ than ever. a liaison,
a proving ground, an agent of
change. I! will be the essential
educator of the new professionals and the new citizens
who will remake the world It
will be both the repository
and teacher of received learning, and, most significanUy,
tbe fount from which flows
n('w knowh..-dgc. new scienIJfh.

whtch will rest our future as a
nation and our leadership role
in the world community."
The economic truths of the times must be
faced squarely. said Greiner, adding: "UB no
longer ba.s the level of stale resources which
we had during the 1980s. UB,SUNY,andtbe
State of New Yorlt-and, indeed, most of our
COWl try' 5 public universities and theirstalt:Sare in serious economic difficuby.
"These diffiCUlties are partially cyclical;
there will be better times. But our CUITCDt
economic problems coincide with the end of
an era: a time in which the Cold War is past,
and national security conceived primarily in
rermsofthe superpowerrivalty is less central
as national policy. lt also appears that American economic influence and political dominance in the world com'l!unity will be less
exclusive."
He added: "'We must pay attention to our
social context. and we must make it clear that
what we do is relevantto our society's Mods.
If weare to continue to justify suppo&lt;1 for our
enterprise--&lt;eganlless of wbether that support is public, private, corpomle. or individual-we will have todemonstra.tt that we
teach, and teach very well; that we serve our
publics, and serve them well; and that our
research, scholarship, atld creative activity,
the distinguishing missions of a university,
buttress and support our teaching and service ...
Greioerpaiduibote to the distinctly American tradition of promoting liberal and practical education, a.s filS! evidenced by the
establ ishme~t of land-grant colleges with the
1862 Morrill Act.
One of these land-grant institutions, the
University ofWiacoosin, be DOled. sought to
combine the European model of higher education for an intellectual and social elite, with
tbe land-grant models of higher education.
Wiscoosin, Greiner said. "brol&lt;e new ground

Greiner aaid, university research was to have a special.

fteocribing the high level$ of community
~#service given by UB faculty before and
since the 1962 inerger with SI,/NY, Greiner
said "UB has made truly remarkable progress
as a public university, pulicularly in research and gradua~e education, while at the
same time holding onto its traditions in uodergradua~ teaching and public service."
Greiner admined that "some observers
hive argued that our top ten rallying ay ba.s
unduly emphasized one won! in the tNd
term 'publicreuarchunivemty.' IDourttansition from a private to a large public univez:sity, we expended enormous eDCIJY in

fiOLD RYBCZYNSKI
has a reputation for discussing cultwal issues in
lhe faeld of an:hitecture
and design with c:oosiderable lucidity. That reputation will certainly
survive lhe frowns and occasional coc:Ud
brow that greeted his Nov : 6lecture on "The
Seven Oi&lt;:Ms ofl'osi-Modern An:hiteclure."
The talk in Crosby Hall wasoneoflhelast
in lhe fall sqjes presented by lhe School of
Architecn1re and Planning and sponsored by
lhe Friends of lhe School . The audience was
made up of some 140studerus. faculty, Slaff
and members of lhe public.
The post-lecture grumbling arose in part
as a response to lhe speaker's use of lhe term
"clich&lt;!" to describe seven expressive devices common to postmodem architecture.
Although lhe word refers to that which is trite
or hackneyed, lhe buildings with which
Rybczynski illustrated his talk exemplified
both successful and unsuccessful useofthe&amp;e
devices. raising questions as to just where
clichl ended and "tasteful" began.
Rybczyoslci, who is, among other things,
on architectural critic, began with a leogihy
and lucid apologia on the oearly impossible
task of producing meaningful an:hitcciUral
criticism.
"Architecn1re. reviews are futile," be said.
" Buildings will be used or inhabited regardless of lhe prejudgment by critics,• be said.
"'Reviews' cannot assess beforehand whether
a building will perfonn as intended or he
comfonable and acceptable to its useo. ··
He oddod that a building may "worlt" on
one level and not on another and in any case
will be experienced differently by those who
use it for different reasons- a hospital that
is inconvenient to the medical staff. for in·
sance. may be very comfortable for patients
and visitoB or vice versa.
"'Critics must also realize that what is
exciting and avaot-garde today may look like
a misguided and inept attempt at novelty
tomonow," he said, and refen'ed to lhe sagging of Wrigh!' s dramatic cantilevers, the
yellowing of the plexiglass roofs on lhe
Pompidou Center's elevators, and the recent
discovery that I.e Corbusier's "climactically
appropriate" buildings appear to be less so
than their more traditional neighbors.

'
Isolated bits of molding form pan of lhe
postmodentisi an:hitcciUral package, too glued hither and thitherindisc:ootiouous fragments above, below and among cwtain walls
of windows. Another
clich6 is bow shape (as in
airp lane hangar roof),
which originated with lhe
bow-string !ross characteristic of Victorian industrial an:bitecn1re. F'lnally
we havetbe reintroduction

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

T

HE UB Off-Campus Safety Comlllittee booled an opea pond di!cussioa llthe University Heights
Community Cenler'l'uesday to add=s concerns about crime occur-

ring oo and around the UB South Campus.
UB Dean of Sludenta Dennis Blaclt and
Public Safety Dircctor L« Griffin organized
the conunittee WI month. lbe conunittee
was formed, in put. Blaclt said. because of
the dealh ofUB student Ian Faigenbawn in a
house lire this summer and the series of
anaclts on and around canjpUS early this
semester.
Blaclt said the conunittee sponsored the
forum to "give an opponunity for individuals
to speak ouL Since this is a community
problem_ we thought it was imperative to
solicit community opinion."
Members of the University Heights community were eager to air grievances. A group
of University women were concerned about
their own personal safety. A l..isboo Ave.
woman told of bet car being stolen. bet roommate assaulted oo bet doorstep, and what sbe
viewed as unwillingness of the Buffalo Police Department to react. " I think it's crazy
that I can't even wallr. out of my bouse," sbe
said.
A student living on Minnesota Ave ..
agreed. "I just feel that the police do not care
enough about the students living in this area,"
she said. "We do everything we can (to protect ourselves) but we're not getting therespect we deserve."

But although the MCA T has spotlighted
the need for beUer communications skills

"Medical schools." sbe said. "are encouraging studenta to take ocher courses so they
have a more brood foundalioo because once
they are in medical school, there is no space
to do that. They can major in whatever they
choose. If they major in acience, they can
pick up the Olbers (noo-scieDce courses) as
eleetivea. If they major in non-aciet&gt;ce. they
sbould malte sure they pick up the appropriate science courses as put of !heir electives."
Whether the revised MCAT will have a
poaitive effect on the bedside manner of
future physicians remains to be seen. According to Gunuao, "Siudiel have shown that
physicians should probably emphastZC a
broader realm. lbe thought was that perhaps
by making them rno&lt;e aware of ocher things.
they 'd be ~ balanced individuals and
more humanistic."
But Ounuso added, "lalting the humanities ~·t make you a rno&lt;e bumanistic

HE SUCCESS of expensive new
biolech drugs !hal are nearinggovemmeot approval will depend in
large part on identifying the patients most likely ,to benefit from
tbem, according to a UB professOr !Jf pharmacy.
Speaking Nov. l811 the annual~ of
the American Association ofi'banni.ceutica
Scieotisls, Jerome J. Scbem.g, wbo is also

"Tbecltallenge with these new products is

"'f ai- _indiocriminalely, the cost to the
bcal1beare l)'llem for the sepsis drug alone
would &amp;piiiOKil $1 billion. Wbeit you•re
talking about $4,000 to SS,OOO for a single
dose, you need to pick your patients car&amp;fully."
Each year. gmn negative sepsis infection
strikes 500,000 patients. most of whom are
already very ill with cancer, heart or liver
disease or wbo have just bad major 5111'8"'Y·
New trealnleiiiS for sepsis block the actioD ol

most of the injury . In some c:ues_ the aew
biOU:Cb tmumenl bas completely cund patientsoftheiraffliction with sepsis. a.. Oiber
patients have seen little or no improvemelll
following treatment
ccording to Scberuag. this discrepaDC)'
in bow the new drug affects patienls is
wblt mates vigorous prescreening of patients so necessary.
"These newtrealments will be SOQieofthe
fiiSI biou:ch products to be used fairly regularly in critically ill people." said Scbentog.
"But only certain patients will benefit from
them.
"If you look 11 all of the patients trealed in
these clinical trials." be said, "you can see
that there was no difference berween those
wbo got the drug and those who got tbe
placebo. It's only wben you look II certain
patient subgroups !hal you see a difference
between these products and placebos."
In the four years be bas been involved in
clinical trials of anli-endotoxin biotech drugs.
Scben1ag bas carefully tracked the course of
disease in each patient through clinical 00servations and laboratory testing.
He bas been instrumental in establishing
criteria for dett:nnining the patients most
likely to respood to the new drug.
"Patients wbo are closest to the criteria
we're evolving did the besl with il" said
Scbentag.
Those are patients who have nOI already
gone into irreversible shock. and who hav~
just begun to show signs of damage to viiJl!
organs. Scbentag _said it is "relatively easy"
10 identify these patients.
In fact. he. said, the success of expensive
new biotech drugs is going to depend to a
large exlent on an ability to establish such
specific criteria for their use.
Critics of drugs lik~ Centoxin hav~ said
that doctors will end up prescribing such
costly treatments indiscriminately. even
though relatively few patients will benefit.
"People are predidong IOIAI overuse and
thai can happen :· sa'id Schentag. - out that' s
not nece..~sarily the case if you learn to idenlify the righl patient "

In the eatliet study of 122 health can:

to pinpoint lhe biggest barriers to providing

members' attitudes about various groups

these pon:eptions:
• The working poor have more difficulty

• Homeless women and children ~

The Elmwood Strip, a design by Don

architecturally interesting neighborboods
of Buffalo. Chichester's design silhouettes
the Elmwood skyline when neon picks up

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

the University's overall reputation has improved.
According to the 1988 survey, released
last week by the Office of Institutional
Studies, most of those responding also
believe that professional competence in
their field has improved or stayed the
same. and that the quality of undergnlduates in higher education, and respect for the
academic profession. have worsened. Fifteen percent of the respondents indicated
that inten:lepanment.al cooperation had
worsened in recent years. but 14% claimed
it had improved.
When comparing responses from the
University with data from public research
universities as a whole, UB faculty are
generally not as satisfied with their situation as their national counterparts.
C...sponsoned by the National Center
for Education Statistics and the National
Endowment for the Humanities. the survey

Afncan A men can astronaut k.il led in the space
shuttle tragedy in 1986. with first -year fund ing in 1989.
As program director Michael Stokes ex plains. UB is one of 28 universities participating in the program designed to help
sludents develop the needed skills to pursue
graduate work .
'There were 14 sc hools funded in 1989.
the first year.·· he said. ''There were 14 more
in 1990, which was lhe first-year for UB.
They hope to add 14 more !his year to bring
the l,Otaf to 42 schools that will panicipate.
'The program is designed to help increase
the number of minorities in graduate school
with an emphasis on the doctoral level. ..
Stokes explained !hat lhe year-long program is centered on academic research . Sruden ts are paired with a faculty member to
receive practical guidance on research methodology .
"We have a lotoffaculty committed to the
program," he said. "We try to identify lhe
student ' s interest and capabilities and rn.ar.ch
them with a faculty member doing research

m that area. They are given assignments and
work te n hours a week doing research during
the school year.
"Then:: is also a research methods class
that we offer for credit so they'll get lhe
theory and practical application, "be added.
Students are also required to panicipate in
career ~planning seminar.; and other activi~
ties.
.. We have a Jot of graduate school preparation along with career planning. We teach

the m how to write an essay and what kinds of
recommendations !hey should look for. We
also have a si.x-week GRE preparation seminar. We have found that students who get
through !he seminar do very well on !he GRE
exam. lbeytendtodo 100.200pointsbetter."
Stokes said that students enrolled in lhe
program are involved in career-related field
trips when they meet wilh business leaders to
discuss degree requirements and job opponunities. After the academic year is complete,
lhe eight-week summer program begins.
'That's when the three-credit COW"9e is
offered. There an:: also afternoon seminars to
discuss issues peninent to graduate school."
he said.
UB senior Larry Williams, who completed
lhe program last year,"Mys he benefited from
the experience.

" I did research on what effect budgetary
retrenchment has on inner-city schools,..
said Williams. "We would meet three times
a week with Dr. Kevin Williams to discuss
research strategy. Most of my worl&lt; was
reading, writing and gathering infonnalioo
for publication which will preptUe me for
the future," said Williams, who has set his
sights on the UB Law Scltool, Harvard or

FACUUY SURVEY
Con!inued from page 1

respondents at UB were less satisfied with
the institution ' s mission or philosophy (52 %
were somewhat or \lery satisfied).
In bolh cases, the University ranked below lhe ratings given by faculty respondents
at other public research universities (where
the figures were 81% and 69%. respectively).
• Wben responding to items concerned
more specifically with personnel at the institution level, less satisfaction is evident. 1be
dissatisfaction is particularly notable wilh
respect to relationships from one unit or level
to the next (e.g .. between administration and
Faculty, or among academk dcparunents.
where less !han half o f lhe UB respondents
were at least somewhat satisfied).
• At the depanmental level. satisfaction
is slightly higher overall, particularly as it
relates to collegial relationships (71 % were
somewhat or very satisfied).
• Faculty respondents are more satisfied
with !he quality of their graduate students
than undergraduates-70% compared to

58,._. disparity higher than that for the
national sample where !he proportioo of respondents wbo were satisft..i with graduate
students and undelgraduates were 79% and
71%, respectively.
•
• Suppon for !he primary respol,lSibilities--leacbiog and research-is ~y less
satisfactory than otheraspecU of their professional environ men~ according to the SIUdy.
This assessment roughly approximates the
ratings of lhe public research univenities
overall, at least in terms of n:lative rankings
of satisfaction. allhough lhe public research
university group is more satisfied.
• Faculty respondents were, oo lhe whole,
very satisfied with lhe amount of lllthority/
independence !hey have in !heir professional
lives. They are satisfied wilh !heir contributions to decisions about course cootenl aod
other job aspects, and lhe mix of !heir responsibilities (84%, 7g% and 70%, respectively).

curriculum .
The proposal was in direct contrast with
tha t w hich fo ll owed. which proposed to
amend a prev ious amendment in the area of
the natural sc ie nces. The UGC is now re·
questing that the sc ience req uireme nt be re inSlated as a two+semester seq ue nce instead of

the eighHnember .team of sc tentists
was awarded a seed grant of S25,000
by the New York Great Lakes Research Consortium to investigate the
possible toxic effects of the cherrucal.
Olson is also associate director of the Toxicology Research Center in the UB School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
" Very linle is known about the toxicity of
these compounds," Olson said ... What we
know is that the structure is similar to PCBs
and that they are environmentally persistc:nl,
so they are a cause for concern.··
Scientists have isolated 209 isomers of
PCBs. with varying degreesoftoxic ity. Some
of the isomers of PCBs have ne urologicaJ
to~ic activity. othen h.ave activities simi lar
to dioxin, a contaminant found in the defoli~
ant Ageot Orange. Other isomers of PCBs
have lesser toxic effects.
Ralberthan using chemicals purified from
sediment and fish, scientists will synthesize
up to 10 isomers of trifluoromethyi-PCBs in
the labonlory. then test their toxic effects on
rats and on rat cells in vitro.
~Fractionaling each individual isomer in
an environmental sample is a lot more diffi cult than synthesizing the specific chemical
in the Jab. 1be exUBCtcd cherrucal will never
be completeiy clean. but the synthesized
cbenllcal will allow for studies on a pure
compound," Olson said

One use for thi s data may be m de velopmg

Olson hopes the ~ gran1 will lead to

HATB EGANa.s~h

for a book on T itf'e VI of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act
has led to a UB political
sc ientist' s active panicipation Wednesday in an historic case argued
before the U.S . Supreme Court that challenges t.he desegregation of higher ed ucation

in Mississi ppi.
Many have feared that a decision in favor
of the defenda nt could lead to the dismantlin g
of hi sto ric blac k colleges and universities in
20 southern and border states.
Stephen C Halpern. associate professor of
poli tical science at the University, has cowri uen an amtcu.s cu ria~. or '"friend of the
coun " bnef, in suppon of the plaintiff!i in
Ayus v. Mabus . 1lle brief was writtc:n on
be half of the National Bar Association. a
group of 20.000 blac k lawye rs; the Congressional Black Cauc us. and the National Associati on for Eq ual O pportun ity in Hi gher
Education. a group comprised of the prnsidents of more than I 00 histori c black co lleges
and universities.
At issue in the case , ori ginally brought as
a class acti on aga inst the statt by a group of
Mi ss issippi ci tizens in 1975, is whether the
State of Mississippi is requ ired by the Constitution or federaJ civil righ ts law to do more to
desegregate its public colleges and universities than si mply ending race-specific adm issions requ irements. Standardi zed test scores

The issue~ lfa47ern
adds, are "what is a
desegregated system of
higher education in
states with historically
black colleges, and what
financial obligation do
states have to remedy a
history of unequal

?"
J~.._.mg.

are the on ly criteria for admission to these
state instituti ons, but enrollment remains
mostly white in the five historically white
schools and black at tbe tbrce historically
black institutions.

The issues, Halpern adds~"wbat is a
desegregated system of hi
~on in
states with historically blac
lieges, and
what financial obligadon do
' have to
remedy a history of uneqUal funding?"
The plaintiffs
and amici concur.
that Mississippi has histprically engaged in
unequal treatment of students and faculty at

arg":"l

its black colleges and univeftities, specifically in the areas of f'tmding, proznm offerings, facilities and faculty aalaries. Tbe -.
cannot correct ila dual syst.em of higher education by " instituting good faith, race-neutral
policies and procedw-es," the tllfliau brief "

Slates.
Amici and plaintiffs argue that the state
must take special steps to atlniCI black studenls to historically white schools, and lll.lst
provide~ funding to the historically black ma;IU!ions to remedy the effecu
of past discrimination.
Halpern c:aiiJ the COUrt's decision in the
ca!C, whalever il may be, "Iandman:" bocause "it (the Supreme Court) has not touched
the topic in more than 30 yean;."
1 ulius Ownbers, the general counael of
olthe NAACP Legal Defense Fund, wbicli
.U.., submitted an amicru brief, calls the ·
Aye~~themostimportant Supreme Court
case since Brown v. Board a{ EductUimo of

Topekn.
"This wiU be the lint decision by the
Supreme CoUrt in _
37 yean !bar deals with
higher education," Halpern ..Y'In the aftermath of g,_, and
scbool districts took specific meuurea to
undo past discrimination. •
"What the court decides in t1t1a wea may
lffect elementary and secondary eduallion,"
Halpern says, noting the effect may be significant if the court sides with Mississippi.
M iss~..;ppi maintains that its race-neuinol

that they're continual ly open to all sorts of
influences.
"It's a world of ideas. and many points of
view. These stude nts won't just succeod;
they'll change the face of visual communica·
tion.
"'What we really teach is thinlting;· Howell
says. ''and we Slress ho w important it is to be
in a uni versity en vironmen t. What's really
lacking in the education syste m is a love of
learning: we're lucky to have here teachers
with a deep feel fo r knowledge."
An ex-an director from Hoffman Print·
ing, Howell came to the department in 1984
and took The Option up from there.
"What an:rncted me was the idea o f having
inherited a progr-41ll without someone else's
panems and problems. I came in, I set it up.
and in 1986 I had my fi rst graduating class.
and that cla.ss included Joel Johnson. whoh2

hen Ho well started she had three or
four majors ; by the time Cober had
been recruited, in 1987, there were 12; now
there are 60. The graduates and professionals
working on newspapers and magazines na·
tionwide no w include not onl y Joel Johnson
but al so Laura Rankin , who was signing her
book~ Handmodt Alphab&lt;tat the AlbrightKnox Art Gallery thi s week; Usa Haney .
who has produced wori&lt; for Tht Ntw York
Ti~s: and a sprinkling of young lllustrators
whose work has appeared in the R~portu,
Gt ntratinn and "J"M Buffalo N~ws as well as
the INtroit N~ ws. the Detroit Frtt Pr~n. Tht
Boston Globt, Postgroduou Medicint and
E.Jquirt .
"But it isn ' t j ust that we' re growing," says
Howell . "We' re very selective. What was
clear is that we wanted kids who wanted to be
illuslnnors and nothing else. and still. after
two semesters. we look at the students ' panfo lios and te ll th em whether or not they have
a prayer in illustration. So me don't : s~ me
will be better off painting or simply draw mg.
and some of those kids will thank us for
putting 1hem back on the right track.
'' But those wh o kno w that i ~ what they

want arc the one~ who n\i.t~c t.hc prognm l
work . And. of course, bringi ng Alan on in
"86: because o f where be is in his career. he
ha.s connections, and he"s willing to share
them."
Like Pinkney, Caber's major contribution
is the reality of his profession. After 35 yean;
in tbe field, Cober knows not only contacts
but the need to complement talent and hard
wori&lt; with business sense.
"'I think we get a lot of national recognition forUve Assigruneots," says Cober.1'hat
means real live assignments for real live
magazines. I'll bring in an assigruneot, and
the whole class will do iL Then the art director or !be editors will commentoo the sketches,
and send the slr.et&lt;:hes back with their critiques. Then they will pick the fmished piece.
And if they lilr.e it, they' ll use iL"
Today Cober is teaching Thematic Drawing. (""Traumatic drawing, they call it, which
1 take a.s a great compliment. We go to old
folks' homes, or the anthropology lab to draw
cadavers or dead monkeys, or the science
museum. or the zoo.")
A girl arri ves early for Cober"s class and
thankfully spn~wls herportfoliooverthe wide
table t op benea1lt the high windows. Cober
a.sks her to remind the Olher students to bang
their wotlt on the walls wben they arrive; sbe
responds by playfully beating him up.
""Look at this-a full professor, with an
outstanding reputation, and the students beat
me up."' But if be allows a margin for tomfoolery . Cober also has a reputation for being
tough with his students; be brings to his
teaching the degree of professionalism, the
realities of a tough marteL
"'My role is to make the students a.s good

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

And as expected, compuleriz.ation of library catalogs bas resulted in more worlt for
the staff because people use more libraries.
·lhere has been a big increase in circulation
of Lockwood material. It"s easier for underg:nldualeS to see that there's more."
Three imponaot additions have significantly improved the BISON system since it

UB res'earcher finds
_flaws in IQ test
tion of the test be used as a measure oflQ with

A11IER ntAN assessing their
intelligence. the verbal section
of the most commonly given
inteUigeooe test in the United
·States highlights the disabilities of hearing-impaired and language-delayed childml, a UB educator says.
Only the performance section of the
Wechsler lnteUigeoce Scale for Children.
Thin! Edition (WlSC-ID) should he used as
an indicator of IQ for these children, recommmds U:Adelle Pbelps. associate professor
of counseling and edi.ICI.Iional psychology at

UB.
Altbough the verbal section of the WISC-

m does not measure the intdligeoce oftbese
handicapped

children. it is effective in pre-

dictins ..:adcmic achievement. says Pbelps.
.wbo recently presented her research at the
annual meeting of the American Psychologi-

cal AslociMion.
Pbdpo admiitistered the WISC-m to 21
childrea ages 6 10 10, all of whom were

severely languaae-impaired.
AJtbousb nooe of the subjects was hear~in ikms of evaluatin the ICSl.

"The verbal section ·of the test wasn't a

recommends that only the performance sec-

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Nobel Pri~e winner is fonner UB professor
ONALD H. COASE. the University of Chicago emeritus professor who won this year's Nobel Memorial
Prize in Economics, taught at UB from 1951 -58.
Coase, 81. is a British-born scholar whose wor\l.s
concerning the role of institutions in the economy~ considered
accessible yet profound.
"He is lhe most original thinker I· ve come across in economics," saidMichael E. Levine, dean of the Yale School of Management.
According to the N~w Yort Timn. the core of the work for
which Coase was cited by the Royal Swedish Academy is found
in two academic papers. '"The Theory of the Finn.·· published tn
1937. looks at the question of why companies cxtst tf production

can be organized as a chain of individuaJ market transactions. In
'"The Problem of Social Cost," published in 1960, Coase challenged the economic logic behind the common Jaw practice: of
enjoining behavior that damages others. His work . said William
Landes. an economist at the Universit-y of Chi cago Law School.
pushed legaJ scbolm to think more about how to dn ve conflict
toward negotiation rather than litigation.

NEW [)()Cf()RAL program m
spec ial education offered by UB
and Buffalo State College "is a
telling example of what SUNY's

siste r institutions can do together." President
William R . Greiner said rece ntly
" We hope it will serv~ as a m&lt;Xiel for other
institutions throughout the sta te and the- nation." Greiner told Th~ Buffalo Nt'tvs.~
According to Linda H. Scanon. SUNY'!!.
assistant provost for graduate programs. " II
is the first arrangement of its son in the

SUNY system-and is particularly appropriate in these times of budget constraints ...
The program will use faculty from UB and

Buffalo State and is made possible through
about S 1.6 million in grants to the two institutions. The program has been developing
for several years and 'has fmally found approval, explained Michael W. Kibby, UB
associate professor of learning and instruction. "It's the fmit in the state." be added.
Gov. Mario Cuomo authorized the l!lan
when approving an amendment to the SUNY
master plan in August.
Cuomo. in a letter to State Education
Commissioner Thomas Sobol, commented,
'This new program will provide doctoral
graduates for collegiate-level research and
teaching positions in speciaJ education as
well as produce indi viduals who possess the
expertise to lake leadership roles in educa-

tiona!, community and government agencies
dealing with special education issues."
"The significance of the new program is
twofold." Hugh G. Petrie, dean of UB's
Gradua!e School of Education, !Old the News.
"It is a model of how different units within
the SUNY sysrem can wort together and can
bring to bear their respective strengths to
complement one another. The doctorate is
needed in the area of special and/or exceptional education- where there is continuing
concern as the press for more mainstreaming
activities for special learners of all kinds goes
on. This'makes the need for le.tders in special
education, with the additional knowledge to
be gained from the research of this progmn.
very necessary." be said.

a nule -wtdc c rdter 1n the
ground in an wea of relllO(.C:
Siberia may have been caused by the same

mechanism that triggers deadly nuclear reactor meltdowns, according to Michael
Sheridan, a volcanologisl and chair of the
Geology Department at UB.
1bat conclusion. which Sheridan reached
this summer after a month -long U.S.-Soviet
expedition to Ksudach (pronounced sll-dash)
volcano. chal lenges the traditional model for
such ex.plosions held by Soviet volcanologisls.
'1'hc Russians weren't even aware of thi s
idea." said Sheridan. who led the American
team. one of the fLrSt in 75 years , to travel to
thisexlremely remole part of the So vie! Union.
" It was the ftrSI time some of them had com&lt;
into direa contac1 with Western ideas about
volcanic explosiOns."
His observation may have ignited controversy. but il also has opened a new level of

scientific communication between American and Russian volcanologists. To expand
the dialogue they began this summer. the two
teamJ are applying for funding from the
National Science Foundatlon to continue to
explore and share ideas about other volcanoes in the Soviet Union and the United

swea.
Sheridan was ~principal investigator on

the expedition, along with Igor Taganov. a
physicist with the Leningrad Technological Institute, and Alexander Zemtsov.
a volcanologisl with the Volcanological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the
U.S.S.R.
"Because there are relatively
few catastrophic volcanic eruptions. their mechanism has
been poorly st udied ."
.Sberidan said. "These investigations woold help in the
prediction of the most dangerous type of volcanic eruptions."
The 1907 explosion of Ksudach
blaslcd a gigantic mile-wide crater in the top
of the exisling volcano. Other catastrophic

and Kilauea m H.a wa u . an d lho!&lt;
formed by sliding, such as at Mount St.

Helen' s. are more common.
According to the volcanic-blast model
that many Soviet scientists have come to
accept. gases trapped in the dome of a vol cano build to the point where they are sufficient to cause an explosion that can product"
a mile-wide crater.
~n Sheridan arrived at K.sudach thi s
. . . summer and saw the lakes that surround the o ld volcano and filllhc hugecratt:r.
he immediately began thinkmg about an other model of c.alliStrophic volcanic eruption s. one that has gai ned s ignifi c ant
acceptance among Western vo lcanologists.
''That model. which I favor. envisions an
implosion of the lava reservoir deep in the
eanh. which causes the groundwater and
molten lava to come into contact, .. said

The model also could explain the huge
boulders. up to a meter in diameter. that were
thrown as far a.~ four miles from Ksudach.
In thi s type of reaction, Sheridan added.
water trdpped deep in the earth mixes with
molten lava and generates steam as a propellant for~ explosion.
'1lus is the same mechanism that is at
work in a nuclear power plant meltdown. like
what happened at Chemobyl," said Sheridan.
" In a meltdown . the radioactive rods melt and
come into co ntact with the cooling water
The water nashes to steam. creating a steam
blast explosion."
But the naturaJ version of a fuel&lt;rolant
reaction in a volcano can be orders of magnttude (factors of 10) more powerful.
"'The question is. were the trapped gases
in the dome sufficient to cause the explosion
or did it require an added boost of external
water ?" he asked .
By establishing ·a model of the volcano
that is "closer to reality, " he said. scientist'i
will be better equipped to improve warning
systems for future catastrophic eruptions.
The expedition to Kamchatka. a peninsula
lhat is home lO more than 30 actjve volcanoes. represented for many of the Soviets
their ftrst chance to share ideas with Western
scientists.
"What makes geology such an interesting
science is the level of personal debate in iL
usually carried out during field trips while
we are out there ma.king observations:·
noted Sheridan.
That debate. he continued.

OMETHING alloutthe w~y tile
universe: is eJ.panding is going
terribly awry, at least according
to theories constructed by physi·
cists.

To find out how to ..fix" those theories.
researchers. including UB's Gil Brink. are
trying to sim ulate in their laboratories some
of Lhe chem •cal phenomena that occur in
space
Bnnk. professor of physics and astronomy.

star - the largest type of known star - using
a devacc that c reates an arc between two

explained Brink . "'We know to 10"" of a
second wh.a.J. the conditions of the univen;c
were right after the Big Bang. and we can
calculate what the universe should he doing
now based on those conditions.
It turns out that the universe is expanding
too slow ly. Galaxies are coming apart. but
they're not comingapan fast enough. It means
we don ' t know something."' What we do
know about the universe , Brink added .
amounts to barel y '"a gnat's eyebrow."
ased on generally accepted assumptions
about how much matter is in the universe .
there isn't enough grdvity to slow the expan sion of the uni verst' a~ mu(-h a' 11 .... hem)!!
impeded, Brink noted Therefore. he added .
there must be more matter present to account
forthegravit y. onl y it can 't be seen or studied
directly using instruments available today .
In Brink · slab. the red giant star simulation
is actually a searc h for the origin of some of
thac excess maner. Known as ~dark. matter'"
because it doe~ not radiate. and so cannot be
seen or stud ied darectly . It is in studies of this
dart mauer that physicisL'\ believe an answer
lies to question~ about the fut~ of the uni verse.
1llere are three possibilities for whar will
bappen to the uni verse ... said Brink . "Either it
will expand forever . which means it is an
open universe. or e lse gnvity wins out and it
will stop and fall back in a big crunch . Or it
could expand asympwtically . where the rate
of its expansion will eventuall y slow down
and , infinitely far in the futurlC. will come to
zero expansaon and then co llapse in on itself.

-one of these three will happen , but which
o ne? To know the answer. we have to do a
very careful inventory of aJJ the matter in Lhe
umverse .
Brink · s work is aimed a1 uncovering one
tiny piece of thal cosmic inventory.
The device he and oome of llis studenlS
have rigged is &lt;IO..igned to produce orpnic
molecules in an environment lhal allempts to
simulate the conditions in the outer envelope
of a red giant star. one of the 1ut stages in the
death of a star. According to Brink, it is the
possible origin of large orpnic molecules,
such as lluc4eyballs. the soccer ball-shaped
moloculesof60carbonatomsandpolycyclic
aromatic bydrocartx&gt;os. some of the most
potent carcinogens ever identified.
Brink's device consists of two carbon

Who would have believed that a
major study on chairs would be sponsored by-bang onto your scats, for
this~ffiM?

For Manin Helander, chairs are
very importan l A leader in the fteld
of work station ergonomics ,
Helander was among the first to
develop standards for measuring the
various aspects of office chairs.
Now, a decade after he helped establish the standards, he is the author of a study for mM which
examines the characteristics that
make ooe offiCe chair better than
another.
"01ain have become quite importagl in the last few years," he
""-ves. "'t' sa SbiQion indusuy."

from the frame of each ·c hair and
prices ranging fmm $300 to $1200,
the serious implications of
Helander's worlr. are apparent, not
the least of which is the importance
of having a chair that promotes effic iency and health by providing comron for the individual worker and
the individual task .
"1lle purpose of the study is to
develop corporate chair standards
for ffiM ," Helander says. " IBM
needs to know what chairs they
should buy for their offices." He
adds that this makes the findings of
his study "potentially important" to
chair manufacturers, given the scope
of ffiM ' s purchases.
Helander, who conducted a similar study for ffiM five years ago,
noces that chairs have changed quite
a bit in the past five years. "Chairs

says. "Also, today's

One such example Helander pointed
out was a chair noted for its modem.
architectural design. "People like
this chair because it looks g&lt;XXi. But
if you sit on it. it feel s terrible," he
said .
According to Li Jian Zhang. a
doctoral student working with
He lander, com.fon is a major concern in the workplace." ComJonable chairs were described by office

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

UNIQUE educational a,gree·

1990. He conceded tbat universities around
the world are having financial difficulties

in the future.
-n.... kinds of programs are a way 10
improve the world. We are attempting 10
build new bridges between Poland and the
United States and lll=lgtben the bridges that
already exisL I'm sure the fllWICial prol&gt;lems that exist will be improving. I must be
optimistic.··
Pelczar said tbat Poland's transition to a
free-market economy and an open democratic syslem of government has allowed for
great changes educationally in the country.
"We are free now. Our University has full

ple tely different from what e:ust.ed before
the change."
He explained lhat his election as rector of
Jagiellonian University was conducted by
an electing body of I 00 people from the
school, ranging from professors and admin·
ismuors to students. 'This means that we
now function in a fully democratic manner.··
Jagiellonian University has agreements on
cooperation and ex.change programs with
m~ than 60 universities around the world.

"And UB . of course. is in the group of our
most imponant partners ... He added that by
eJ.changing scho lars and students, and work ·
ing jointly on research projects, lhe: two
schools can se1 an example for similar programs that ex.ist lhroughout the world.

fturing the first year of the program, 35
UUB students have attended special language and culture seminars at Jagiellonian
University. and 12 scbolars have boen ~ ­
chaoged between the two schools. Pelczar
emphasized that many friendships have re-

He mentioned that a deep sense of tradi·

prevent the 'horror stories' which you hear
about undergraduate advisi ng from happening." says Kenyana. who argues thai the role
of an advisor is more than just helping stu·
dents pick courses.
.. All of the activities of the University
contribute to a student 's education." sheaffirms. ··An advisor should play a role in a
student · s career goals and individual development, so when the student leaves he doesn 't
just have a list of courses, but has something
to think of."
KenyattB blames many of the current problems with undergraduate advising on the

As for transfer students. the University
has "a fairly dBmatic decrease this fall. But
that decrease was intentionally dooe--par1
of our enrollment plan.
"When you look at transfers. you oeed to
he a little careful. Any MFC student who has
had previous college experience is classified
as a transfer. yet they are nOI the traditional
tnm sfer student that one might think o(. The
reduction. in pan. reflects 11: reduction in
MFC enrollment. ..
He added: "Even though our total enrollment came: out dose to the target. we are
somewhat high in the number of new freshmen. transfers and new graduate students
who enroll ed. The reason it balances out,"
Dutton said, "is that we had slightly fewer
students continuing than.we had planned. " 0

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

has been awarded
an $8.3 mimon
contract by the
U.S. Air Force
that represents the largest
one-year grant ever received by UB researchers.
The contrdc t will bt used to modify and

upgrade an existing hy ~n;on ic facility at
Calspan Corp in Cheektowaga to a
new research fac ility 10 study hy·

The new Large Energy National
Shock 1\Jnnel (LENS). scheduled
to be up and running by next summer. will be the premier faciliry for
the study of hypersonic flow in the
United States.
Facul ty and g raduate students

from UB. as well as scienti sts from
Calspan. will participate in testing
at the facility . CUBRC has already
.
received partial funding for the LENS factlity, which. will be valued at more than SIO
million when completed. Officials said II IS
antic ipated that Lhe faci lity . ~u attract as

much as S5 million in addJUonal support

Areas of stUdy at the facility will include the
loss of communication signals, as well as
visual fJCids, through highly ionized plasmas
that result in communication blackouts expe-

rienced by space vehicles ~ tho:

addressed before the advent of a hypenooic
transport vehicle, or"spece plme," that would
take off from and land on a regular airstrip at
100 miles per boor and be able to reach
hypenonic speed. or five times the speed of
sound.

out that other studies have found that the

A

n alternative. Anas says. is to directl y
subsidize the building of low-income

is mort vi.able.
Anas has also recent! y completed a book
which examines the impacu ' of infrastructure deficiencies in Ni~eria. A World Bank

" My interest in economics evolved from

" Utban economics is the appticalioo of
economics to the understanding of bow cities arc organized. A city is a market. Urban
economics analyzes the supply and dcmaad

T

HE PROBLEM of diesel fumes

emissions from Blue Bird buses
leakin g into pans of the Ellicott
Complex through doors and vents
in the tunnel will be solved before
the spring semester. according to Clifford
Wilson. associ ~ vice president for human

resources at ~ · "'We are committed to get·

he said.

with the results.Louis Magnano Sr., president and chief
executive officer of Blue: Bird Coach Lines,
Inc., recently said that another option that
would eUminale diesel fumes is a "particuWe rnp" which is atliCbed to a diesel motor
and filters out the offeoding fumes. "We
don ' t have all the facts yet, but it seems like
these lnlps could solve the problem in the
tunnel,- he said.
Wilson said that he wasn't informed by
Blue Bird about the existence of the 1n1ps
until recently, but be would be willing to
adopl any system that would alleviate the
fumes problem. "If those filters can do the
job, we'll have no hesitancy in using them. I
know Blue Bird is searching for alternatives.
As long as those .dtematives work. that' s
fine ."

One measure that will not be taken, according to Wilson, is replacing the present air
intake system in the tunnel. " We can ' t change
that system. It wouldn ' t help the situation
because of the number of doors that ~
opened and closed in the tunnel. The fumes
would still get in there."
Magnano pointed oilJ that many of the
natural gas buses pr.:sently used around the
country switch over to a d iesel back-up lllDk
wben idling. "That would still presenta problem in the tunnel.- He admitted that altbough
there have been problems in the past with
natural ga.s engine.c;., '"the advantages out·

weigh the disadvantages." He added that&amp;
engme designed to run on natural gas would
initially cost Blue Bird between $50,000 and
$60,000.
Another option for eliminating the fumes
involves replacing the diesel buses presently
used on campus with older models that runoo
gasoline, said Wilson. "There is a conversion
kit avai lable for old gasoline models !pat
con verts them to na1ur.U gas. Wben they idle.
they still use natural gas. But that kit won't
work on the diesels.- Wilson said be wasn' t
sure whether Blue Bird could track down
some of the older model s.

W

ilson said University officials are concerned with the problem, but that the
fumes presented no severe health threat to
those exposed to them. "We know we don' t
have a health and safety problem with respect
to govemrncntal standards. We ' re not eval
anywberecloseto those limits," be explained.
"That's not to say that people don't dislike
the smell, because they do. The bottom line is
that we want to get rid of the fumes."

Jagiellonian rector visits campus

A

NDRZEIPELCZAR,rcctorofthe

Jagiellonian

Uni.versity

in

Kralcow, Poland, will be on campus today and tomorrow to meet
with University officials and-faculty and discuss the exchange agreement between UB
and the Polisb university.
Eslablisbed in 1989, the exchange program for faculty and students was UB 's first
in Eastern Europe and involves one of
Europe's most prestigious universities, which
will celebrate its 600th anniversary in the

year2000.
Pelczar, wbose position is equivalent to
that of the president of an American univer·
sity, will meet with UB President William R.
Greiner. as well as Dr. Stephen C. Dunnett
and staff of UB 's Office of International
Education and other UB staff involved in
components of the exchange.
At 10 a.m. on Friday, he will meet with

UB faculty interested in visiting Krakow or
wori&lt;ing on Polish research projects.
While many exchange programs between
American and Poli sh universities involve a
traditional exchange of students and faculty.
the UB program emphasizes instead the legal, economic and social aspects and irnplicatiotl's of the Polish political tnlnSirion to an
open, democratic. free-market country . Tile
exchange al so focus on the health sciences

and includes joint research into Poland's
environmental problems.
To date, some 35 UB students have attended special programs in Polish language

and culture at Jagiellonian University and 12
scholars have been exchanged since the
program ' S"i nception.
The fink between UB and Jagiellonian is
especially significant because Buffalo has
the largest concentration of Po lish-Ameri cans in the U.S outside of Chicago.

By suenglhening the quadriceps muscle

Dynamics research laboratory
w1ll prov1dc opponunities for
students and facuJty to work on
nationwide projects with both
the U. S. government and private industry,
and to help advance a growing field of technological science.
The laboratory was eStablished last semester by the
Department of Mechanical
and Aerospace Enginecling.
according to Peyman Givi,
assistant professor and director of the lab. " UB is one
of the first schools in the
---country to set up a CFD lab,"
Givi said. ''In a few yean.
computational fluid dynamics wjli probably be required
undergraduate programs in

igned to leave andreenter the earth's a

of booster rockets, according to Fraokel. Unlike the space shuttle, the NASP wiU be able
to take off with its own power, using Supersonic Combustion Ram-jet (SCRAMJEl)
engmes. "'This will haye nwncrous applica~ons m space exploration and ·miJiwy usage," Frankel says.
·
The design of the SCRAMJET engines is

some of the engineering
schools in the country.·· Givi
has a National Science Foundation Presidential Young
Investigator Award and a
Young Investigator Award
from the Office of Naval Research.
Computational fluid dynamics is a relatively new

uses numerical methods to
solve governing equations in volving fluid flow . heat and
mass tnnsfer. and combustion , accordi ng to Steve
fn rar,;; fn
Fr.mkel, a graduate student
who wod&lt;s'with Givi. "'This
has a wide range of applications, especially in aerodynamicdesign, from airplanes
to can tel spacecraft," Fraokel says. "Irs not
designed to replace other methods entirely.
but to complement them and help them expand."
Frankel is one of 15 graduate students
specificaiiy involved with CFD who woek in
the labonuory. "The purpose of the lab is to
provide facilities for faculty and gnduate
students to work with the computers and
discuss their research:· Frankel says.

"This has awide range of
applications, especially in
aerodynamic design, from airplanes

ndergraduate engineering students tak mg the 400-level elective in CFD also
have access to the labonstory. "'This gets
them interested in something that they might
not have seen," explains Francine Battaglia,
an undergraduate student working with Givi.
'There is a shortage of Ph.D. students in

one of many diverse projects under study at
the lab. "One of the main obstacles to developing this plane is the design of the airbreathing engines.~ Fraokel explains. "The
engines will supposedly woek by burning
liquid hydrogen and air, thereby' giving the
plane a thrust. One important pan is to understand the mixing of cbemical reactions in a
high speed turbulent flow.
·
"For this we usc direct numerical simulations. That is a class of methods wherein you
solve the governing equations of a flow field
using highly nUmeric mathematical methods
exactly. There arc no modeUing assumptions.
You simulate the flow ill real time on a
computer. That's why good visualization is
important"

something significantly wrong with the
price structure of many journals. lbere are,
of coun;e, many variables such as fluctuating currency rates, higher costs in Europe,
rapidly escalating postal rates in many
coun~. and Olhen;. Nonetheless, the
prices for many scholarly journals seem
quite unjustified even given rising costs
and declining cin:Diations.

1be following recommendations might be
in order. at least to begin discussions:
I . Librarians take a more active role in
setting the information policy agenda and
not simply implement policies made by

2. lbere must be a recognition that the

key element in the scholarly information
networlt. Elaborate &amp;Mail networlts, online data bases or other innovations wiU not
replace the journals ~th their gatekeeping
functions. Publisher.; must fmd ways of
reducing the cost of journals. Scholars
must be judicious in selecting joomals for
purchase by libraries. Ubraries must be
willing to maintain journal holdings and,
when making cuts, to fully involve dlC
uscn;. Ubraries must fmd effective means
of making joumals available to scholarly
readen through networlring and oCher innovations.
3. There should be more effons to involve those in the knqwledge network in
discussions of the future of the informalioo

the sySiem at the present time.
4. 1be publisher.; must stop seeing the
academic community simply as a "cash

5. Alternative ways of producing new

universities to produce and dis!ribute journals on a non-profit basis, especially in
new and interdisciplinary fields.

HE FACULTY Senate Executive
Committee last Wednesday endorsed a proposal aslting faculty
to voluntari ly submit the names of
students who appear to have ..unofficially" withdntwn from their coun;es.
Accordin g to Stude nt Finances and
Records , the pro posa l " repre sen ts the
University's response to an audit demand
that UB create and administer a -pol icy rt: garding ' unofficial' withdrawal."
1be audi ~ conducted by the U.S. Dept. of
Education, found that the University is not in
compliance with the terms of Title IV finan cial aid, which stipulate that a student may
nolm:t:ivemonies for any period in which be
or she has withdntwn from the University.
The proposal deals specificall y with "unofficial withdrnwal"-or those students who
simply stop attending al l their courses without formally notifyin g tbe Un iversity. The
University already has procedures in place
which deal with o fficial resignation.

A

ccording to tbe proposal, the Department of Education stated in its July ~.
1990 audit, that "if the student leaves without
giving notice. the institution must calculate a
refund [to Title IV program] based on the
' drop out date,' which is defined as the
student 's last recorded date of attendance, as
docu mcnrcd h y the inst itut io n Fo r instance.
If the m~t t iUiton d1scovers that a stude nt did
not take the final exam, and the last docu-

mented date of attendance was the date of the
mid-term exam_ the date of the mid-term
exam would be used to calculate tuition liability, refunds and overpayments."
Bu~ in reality, the Uni versity must only
demonstrate that the student attended the ftrst
three weeks of classes, since any student who
withdraws fromUBafter the third week is
held liable for I 00 percent of tuition.
Susan Eck, UB registrar, told the FSEC
that if the University does not find a way to
~~&amp;tisfy the Department of Education's request, UB may be penalized for monies given

Tztle N... stipulates that a
student may not receive
monies for any period in
which he or she has
withdrawnfromthe
University.
to srudents rece iving Title IV financial aid
who have uno fficially withdrawn in the past
Since the University acts as an agent by
distributing the aid checks, the Department
of Education is bolding it liable for any
monies distributed, not the students themselves. The Univen;ity must then approach
the students in order to get its money back.
1be criterion, at least initially, for suspecting
that a student withdrew unofficially is a semester GPA of 0.00. Under the proposed
system_ the names of students submitted by
faculty Will be cross-referenced to cull out
those students who actually "earned" all F' s
from those who unofficially withdrew. Ac ·
cording to a preliminary examination of the
issue mentioned ar lbe mepting, in a recent
semester 122 students recei ving $980,000 in
Title IV fmancial ai d leceived all failing
marks. lbeoreticall y, the University could
be beld liable for all thi s money.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

his oppo'eciatioo for die opportunity to do

"Being here offers a 'very good opportu·
nity for me to continue research in American
history.~ aid Freehling, who spent 18 years
at Johns Hopkins. "I have a chair in the
History Depa11ment, which means I have an
e&lt;tnl research ICCQUnt that enables me to fly
to any library to spend time doing research .
'That's what made this position so attractive

tome."
Freehling wasted little time begipning hi s
workandflewto Ireland this summer. where
he spent three weeks researching a book on
theoriginsof American culture, which traces
the roots of American architecture.
"American architects at first copied the
metropOlitan protO(ypes in England," he said.
.. But there comes a moment when Americans stan to deviate from those prototypes
and become a distinct American style .

.. we see it first not in poems or literature

or history but in decorative forms like archi·
leCture, silver and furniture. So before people
write in a different way, they see things in a
different way. What I'm tracing is the lint
moment when American craftsmen started
to deviate from the English craftsmen ...
Freehling says his detective work is com·
plicated by element£ of Irish culture, which
prompted his tnlvels to Ireland. "It was the
Irish craftsmen rather than the English who
fliSI influenced the Americans,.. he e&lt;plained.
"So I have to follow the culnjn1 descent
from LDndoo to Dublin to America.

·nu.!o uansfonna1 1un began an the 1760s
and by 1810 you can see a very distinctive
American style. Everythlngthat Ralph Waldo
Emerson wrote in the 1830s, you could already see in the works of silversmiths like
Paul Revere. But without the Lockwood
funds, this trip wouldn't have been possible
and writing this book would sti ll be a dream
of mine."
Freehling's worX as an historian also incl udes ex tensive research on the Civil WBI.
The author of two books on the subject.
Freehling says hi s ne&lt;t book will deal with
the political events leading up to that bloody
conflict.
" People think that slavery caused the
C ivil War," he said. "In a profound sense I
think that' s true. But what we don't know is
how slavery caused the war. It clear that
the North Was not an anti -slavery society in
1860 and Abraham Lincoln was nO&lt; elected
to abolish slavery.

'lhe North, in genernl. was

con-

cerned that if the slaves were freed and came
North to compete with Northqners, it would
upset the national commerce." hee.plained.
"So you couldn't lind an expl icitly anti ·
s lavery North or an e.plicitly pro-slaver}
South."
~rding to Freehling, many historian s
beheve the war was caused by polirical
leaders of that time who were "unscrupul ous
demagogues," and if the country had had
better politicians. the war could have been
avoided.
.. 1 want to show that thi s is not true ... he
sttid. "'The statesmen did everything they
could to prevent war. What I am researching
is how the hard-core Southerners were try ing to protect themselves against the So uth

history is more than just satisfying his intellectual curiosity: it's for the benefit of his
students.
"One of the things that stops you from
being a gond teacher is not having the~
rial available for the students to read. I am editing an edition of the Georgia secession
debate, which will, for the ftr.&lt;t rime, give
students the chance not just w read the Lincoln-Douglas debates about what was going
on in the Nonh but to understand what was
going on in the South at that time when
Georgia wanted to secede from the Union.
Writing this book ha&lt; also been a dream of
mine for many years."
ln discussing the future of public educa·
tion , he says school!&gt; like UB play an impor·
tant pan .
..It used to be that parents had to -spend
' between $1 O,()()()..S 15.000 to send their kids
10 Harvard, if they cou ld get accepted. and
S4-5.&lt;XX&gt; 111 go to a state university ... he said.
" But now 11' 'i S22.()(X) to go to Harvard and
st ill on ly about $5.000 to come here."
As a result, he say!!!. UB IS attracting
quality srudent!-.. " 1' vc JUSt corrected my first
batch of paper&gt; and I was enormous! y pleased.
I think the y're every bit as gond as the fust
batch of papers 1 got whe n I was at Harvard
or John s Hopkin s.
" It 's not j ust Buffal o:· he said. "It 's the
na uonal eco nomy that ·, ~h)nc this . It 's just
too expensive to go to many other schools.
And when you put together a faculty that is
starting to g"row in the Hi swry Department
and a central admini strati on that is raising
the needed funds. the possibilities in a place
like thi ~ arc great 1 almost thi nk that the
future of American htgher education is going to rest in the public schools like VB. U.
of Mich. and the Uni&lt;. of Calif.," he said.

''The First Amendment, of course, did surVIve lheG ulfWar. The Pentagon did succeed
tn controlling the coverage of thi s war. But

the era of more information is upon us."
Amen said that the pool coverage of the
war forced the media into a situation of
reporting o nly those events that the military
deemed acceptable. "Much of the war was
not Witnessed by lhe press, so it was not
reJX&gt;ned to you, .. he told the audience. '1lle

fon.."
Because: of h1s presence in Baghdad.
Amen was able to paint a picture of a nation
'"the midst of its desb'UCtion . He added that
he was determined to allow the world to
under.;tand that there were two sides fighting
this conflict. He said it was estimated that
between 100 ~nand one billion people
were watching his broadcasts during the
height of the war. "lthinlc I was able to chan
thedeterion~tion oflnqi society as the bombing of Baghdad continued."
men said that having his broadcasts
censored by the lnqi government was
toSed against him by hi s American critics as
"proof' that he was simply a pan of the lnqi
propaganda machine. "Censorship in this environment was pretty casual. I must say that
if I had agreed to all .their restrictions. those
charges againsl me may have been valid. But
we (CNN) did manage to compensate during

A

the long question- and-answer sessions that I

was allowed to do with CNN 's anchors."
He cited an example of an anchor asking
him about a road that reponedly had carried
a lot of Iraqi military traffi c the previous day.
Although he was not able to answer the
anchor 's question directly. Amen did manage a reply. "I said 'There was a lot of IJllffic
o n that road and not much of it civilian.' Not
subtle. but informative."
Amen. a veteran correspondent of 17
wars , said that the U.S. government was the
largest critic of his reponing from behind
enemy lines. "Basically. the U.S. s.ovemment did not want raw news coverage out of
Baghdad by a reputable American news organization. 'The White House tried to order us '

ou 1 a~ they d1d w1th all other AmericanJournahsb.'' he C'lplained. "Even President Bush
telephoned the president ofCNN. Tom John son, and talked to him about our coverage,
suggesting that we get out "
Neither Amen not CNN bowed to governmental pressure. He said that the press cannot
afford 10 be complacent in the face of criticism, whether it be public or official. "I
believe that the press is a partner in many
things that this country does. It's better to
have us there than not to have us there."
Amen returned to Baghdad in August and
reponed that the city is still ina state of chaos.
He admitted that he had mixed emotions
about reruming tbere.ln addition 10 the stn:ets
being inundated by garbage and raw sewage,
he said that then;_ is a serious shonage of

"Universal Human Rights in Theory and

1be main problem to be addtessed in tbe
seminar is tbe confrontation of tbe idea and
ideals of universal rights with varying cultural conditions and divergent po-eouppositions.
Onediffaculty lies.in seeing how tbe right

buman rights for OCher pcnons livi ng in tbe
says Welch, professor of political
Another problem, Welch adds, is that tbe
rights claimed by many groups in many cultures, such as physically handicapped persons and minorities in the United States,
seem to be ..speciaJ," rather than ··universal,''
rights.
/
The seminar will begin by considering the
problems created by rights claims, and then
look at tbe problems of rights in Africa and
Asia. The Univenutl Declaration of Human
Right' .tnd 1he ro le played 1n the enforcement

of human rights by such private groups as
Amnesty Internati onal and Human Rights
Watch also will be studied.
Preliminary efforts regarding the seminar
took place through Garver and Welch's participation in the Graduate Group on Human
Rights and U.w Policy.
Previous work of the graduate group bas
led to the creation of the Human Rights
Center in the UB U.w School, a summer
internship program for law students in
Geneva. Switzerland, and to several publications. 1bese include "Asian Penpectives on
Human Rights (Westview Press, 1990)." edited by Welch and Virginia Leary, professor
of law and co-director, with Welch, of the
Human Rig!lts Center, and "J~ Law and

total cost of accidents to the industry is a stag·

1be numbers look even worse in comparison to those for
other industrial ized countries. While the U.S. suSiains 25
wor1&lt;-related fatalities per I 00.000 construction wori&lt;en;, the
United Kingdom experiences only 15; Greece. 16. and Finland. 18.
Reducing the U.S . toll is the goal of the new Construction
Safety and Health Institute established 81 UB with a $445.000
three-year grant from the Na&lt;ional Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health of the Center&gt; for Disease Control.
" People say construction is just a hazardous business. but
1 disagree :· said Satich Mohan. associate professor of civil
engineering and principal investigator on the project.
.. Most accidents occur due to human error," he added.
·"They can be prevented through thoughtful design of the

A

constrUCtion environment. including aspects such as safety
training programs for new wori&lt;ers, use of personnel proleetion equipment and design of safe wori&lt; procedures and tools."
Co-principal investigator&gt; on the project are Martin
Helander, associate professor of industrial engineering, and
Paul Kostyniak_ associalc professor of pharmacology and
therapeutics and director of the UB Toxicology Research
Center.
Aceordi ~ to Mohan. Olher countries, including Canada.
Gennany , the United Kingdom and Sweden. have well-eslablished institutes in construction safety and health that suppon
the industry with training and research.

An aneurysm is a weak spot, or balloonIns. in lhe wall of an arterial blood vessel. A

Tile ttadilional lrealmenl of cerebral an-

Ewing asks 'fair tri~' for battered women
L THOUGH more and more
victims are being freed from
jail, lhe predicament of bat tered women convicted of killing lbeir abusers will not be
. reaolved tmlil more swes recognize lhe baltered woman syndrome as a legal defense. a
UB 'Jaw professor and forensic psychologist
says.
"1be courts are always behind; they're
never out front in any social movement ."
-says a.tes Patrick EwiJig, aulhor of the
book "Battered Women Who Kill."
"It makes sense 10
to governors and
Jeaialalarea for relief for lhese women and
gcil the momentum to change lhe laws. Clemency is pat, but il is an after-lhe-facl resolu tioaohbe problem."
Ewing. also a c linical a.'isociate professor
of psychology a! the University. advocates a
nadical change in the law that would allow
banered women who kill !heir abusers to
claim psychological self-&lt;lefense as a legal
jUJtiftcation for !heir actions.

tum

Current law narrowly defines se lf-defense
as a legal justification if the defendant act~
in fear of imminent death or serious bodily
injury.
The legal cri teria s hould be changed.
Ewieg proposes. to include psychological
self-defense as a legal justification in these
cases because the women killed lO prevent
their psychological se lves from being de stroyed.
Last year. Richard Celeste, lhen·govemor
of Ohio. released 26 battered women who
killed their abusers from state prisons. Since:
then. 17 women have been freed in Mary land. ntinois. New Hampshire. Louisiana.
New Jersey. Tennessee and Washington.
Ewing believes the women being freed
are those who were convicted before the:
battered woman syndrome was recognized
either clinically or legally. and !hose who
were convicted after the syndrome was recognized cl inicall y. but before some SIBies
recognized it legally.
'1'he defendants were bauered women.
but they had no opponunily to present evidence (of !he battered woman syndrome) at

their trial s." he says. " I think that is what a lot
of this movement is about : it recognizes that
many battered women were not provided
wuh fair trials
'The push to do thi s results from a failure
of the j uslice system to adequately deal with
these
continues Ewi ng. who received
a doctorate in child and family psychology
from Cornell University and a law degree
from Harvard . " If lhe cases had been deal t
with in a fa1r and equitable manner. there:
wo uld be no need for clemency or special
treatment now .··

cases:·

lemency and pardon~ have no pre cedental effect, Ewing poi nts out.
"Just because there were a number of
pardons this year. doesn · t mean lhat tht same
governor. or another governor two years down
the line will do the same lhing. • he says.
Intervention is needed now . Ewing add.s,
to preve91 abuse from occurring in the first
place. and to give j ustice to b&amp;ltered women
by changing lhe law in a!! swes to allow
battered women who kiU their abusers to
Cl
claim psycho logical self-defense.

during the 1920s was not a
fringe, terrorist organization.
as commOnly believed. but was rather a mainstream social and political organi.z.ation that
championed bener government and law en-

forcement and rarely resorted to violence. a
UB historian has found .
In fact. the Buffalo Klan member.;hip
included a number of lawyers. physicians.
businessmen and engineers, said Shawn Lay.
a visiting lecturer and research associate in
the UB Department of History.
..It was not marginal, il was not fanatical ,
it was not a fringe group. The most remarltable and horrifying thing about the Klan was
its broad appeal, its mainstream appeal across
the soc:iaJ and economic spectrum... added
Lay, who is writing hi s doctoral dissertation
on the Klan in Buffalo from I92 I -26.
While most portraits depict Klansmen as
depraved, iJJ-roucated "rednecks" at the bottom of the socioeconomic scale, that just
isn't true, he said, adding that Klan membershi p lists reveal "the backbone of middle-

pa!!"'•

class society.··
Lay emphasized that he is not apologizing
for the Klan when he maintains the group
was not a terrorist organization .
.. I'm saying it was racist and it was religiously bigoted. Whe n you continue to call it
marginal and lower-class and a bunch of
rednecks, you· re Jening all those middle-

class and upper-class Klansmen get away
with having been members. and so you're
denying the racism and bigoury that perme·
atedsociety in the 1920s."he said. "'The Klan
was speaki ng for many white Americans; it
reflected mainstream views ...
And while the Klan of the lall: I 860s and
I 870s was a violent, terrorist organ~za.tion,
the Klan that was refonned in 1915 rarely
engaged in violence in the Northern states, he
said. noting that its activities constinn:ed symbolic defiance. with membe~ donning white
sheets and burning crosses rother than anack ·
ing and lynching blacks.
Not one episode of violence by the Klan
was recorded against the 8,000 blacks who
lived in Buffalo during the early 1920s. he
added .
Lay compared a rare Klan member.;hip
list to census data and other local records to
get a Closer picture of Klan smen and why
they joined the organization.

··Making Cooperative Learning
Wort." is the s ubject of the tenth
annual Conference on Teaching Quality
sponsored by the Office of Teaching Effec·
riveness. Friday. Oc1. II . beginning at 8:30
a.m. in the Center for Tomorrow .
Cooperative learni ng is defined as a
structured. systematic instructional strategy
in which small groups work toward common goals. It is considered a powerful
approach for enhancing academic achieve ment., cross-cultural friendships. se lf-esteem and liking for subject matter.
Because cooperati ve learning sLrBtegies
supplement. but do not replace. more tradi tional approaches to teaching such as lecture or di scussion. they can be easily
introduced mto most classes without nece~ ­
sarily altering evaluation procedures. proponents say. It is said to work particularl y
well in multicultural classrooms where
faculty value the development of crirical
thinking sk.ills and respect for intercultural
and gender differences.
Speaker will be Barbara J. Mills. assis·
tant dean for faculty development at the
Univer.;ity of Maryland University Col·
lege. Mills. who received her Ph.D. in
English literature from Florida State Uni·
versity, has been involved in faculty devel opment since 19g I. Conference fee is $25.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Titled "Rights of Free Expression Without Limiuuion,.. the resolution asks, among
other demands. that the standards of "me

with these three patients, the problem started
insidiously. None had a stroke. When we

Characteristically. the first cognitive dysfunction evident with Alzheimer' s is the

he said it seems unlikely at th1s potnL "If
they had another diseasc. lhe y would be able
to function regularl y in other areas. You
don't need language to get dressed or balance your checkbook.." he said.
"These patients have det.enorated to such
an ex tent that there is mo~ pronounced
dysfunction in o ther areas ac; well as language ability ."
Edwards admits that the original research
grant of S 14.500 for the pilot project is small
by today 's standards. " It' s not the sort of
project that makes the evening news ... However. some valuable and imponant informa·

tell which side they're on."
A darker suggestion that opponents used
in lobbying against such courses, is that they
amount to a rewriting of history.
Professor Combleth, who recently served
on the state committee appointed to reassess
the social studies syllabi used in elementary
«:hoofs. often finds herself facing the equati on of multiculturalism with an Orwellian
approach to history.
'1lle committee 's job was to determine
the extent that syllabi reasonably represented
th e hi story and cu ltures of the U.S. in ways
that would help students to understand the
U.S. experience and the world more broadly."
said Combleth .
"Are we rewriting history ? History is rewritten continually. The idea that there 's
some: sacred hi story that is being violated by
malicious folks-that's nonsense. There is
no sacred history; and the debate is really
related to the son of larger issues that people
don't much like talking about. For ••ample:
whose hi story will we teac h in our schoo ls?
Critics of the multicuhural seem unwilling to
share the stage, perhaps because they've been
in the spotlight for so lon g. It's also a ques·
tion ofknowledgecontrol . lt 's not a question
of what is The Truth. what is History-that' s
not it at all . The question is what image of
Ollf"sel ves do we wish to show to fumre generaiions?"
Combleth is also insistent that one canon.
or at any rate, the choice traditionally used at
all levels of education, is not being supplanted by another.
..There was an outcry when English

These perspectives, Combleth stressed,
often conflict. '"There are two levels of reasoning. History by its n.at11re represents a
point of view. Students are led to expect that
~had
a question has one right answer, this distills a
security that has a number of consequences.
One is that there is one knowledge in school.
another in everyday life, and that's the one
most students will end up going for. When we

middle class history, many SI!Jdents will discount it because it has nothing io do with the

Just as most of us had a
favorite teacher in
school--«1e who makes
a lastilg impact on 011
intellectual Jives.----l had a fallorite ibrarian:
Manny Lopez. And now he is dead. I know
lhis is no1 sOnpiy my bss but also one
shared by the School and the rest oflhe
University.
I am lold !here are about 35.000 books
in the UbrQIY at the SchoOl of ArchitBcture
and Planning and anolher 1.3 millon at
Lockwood and Manny sesned to be able to open any one of them tor us. Li&lt;e no
Olher librarian I have known, he was a
living avenue 1o the objects of my leaming
and research . If anyone, and 1~any­
one, walked into ihe libra()' with even the
slighlest hint of hesitation Of confusion,
Manny would be !here to ask what they
needed and show them how ID gei1D it
For me. all I had 1o do was poeilion myself
loo long at the BISON temWlal and Manny
would appear-"whars wrr:nrfl" he would
ask, punching lr-NEtf at the computer,
"LBrs try this.· Invariably my research

Jake_bim few days, but-Qre ~
feW'days later my phone would ring and
Manny would have an idea about how 1o
~or otherwise find what I needed.
More than once t-Os adllice took fJ1b 1o
other libraries-often in New Yorl&lt; efty or at
another university. Some!i'nes it meant
using relerence-sources authored by
Mannv htmsetf Among the reference
btbhographtes I found useful lhts surrrnet
were two published by Manny titled New

Yorl&lt;, A Guide to lnfrxma!ion and Reference Sources and Specjaj,CollecOOns of
the University Libraries.
Manny brought the Lockwood collection 1o us and lhe Archilecttxe and PJan.ning Ubrary to 011 students. Jusi walt
about lhe School and you will find the
covers of newest bool&lt;s in our fields and
lists of new additions to 011 collectioris. He
p&lt;epared special exhibits ot the work ot
our colleag.JBS and went so far as ID e&lt;iJcate all of us on the world ot Tarot in a
splendid combination of exhibit and radio
interviews a few years back. If we invited a
guest to the School for a lecture, Manny ·
p&lt;OIIided us with a lisl ot the gueSt's publications. At lhe beginning ot
semester he was in our classes tftSCUSSing the
uses ot the library with 011 students and
then taking them inlo the ibrary to make
sure they could use the faciities comfortably. E1100 the squirrels outside Hayes Hall
and one golden retriever could count on
his daily attention.
·
•
The collections in Planning, Architeoture and Design also benefitted from
Manny's attention: begiming to grCNI in
wonderfully effiCient and knowiedg'eable
ways so that lhe library is now brim1ing
with bool&lt;s. To accornnodate lhis growth,
Manny had most recently argued forcefully
for the library's physical expansion. In lhis
spirit and in order lo accorrmodate our
needs and .those ot the collections 'to'hich
have beneftlled so much from Manny's
careful and ~lied attention, it would 8BBrTl
only fttting that the library be expanded as
a lasting rnern!lrial to lhis most gifted mem-

-r

ber of the School commun~.
Lastly and most importantly, Manny's
p&lt;esence in the School was cenlralto our
inlellectual spir~-to the scholarly practice
of architecture, planning and design in lhe
academy. We have lost a full par1ner in lhis
p&lt;actice. Bless you Manny; just as we are

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

The clearly " Amcncan"
amusement park derives from
the 1893 Chicago World' s
Columbian Exposition. h was
the,.. that technology met and
married tbc American dream.
In 1893, Adams recal ls, the
real city of Chicago "was
plagued by political conuption.
tbc horrol'll of tbc Slockyards, a
per capita yearly beer consumption of 49 gal lons, 7,000 saloons and 10,000 prostitutes."
The Chicago of the expoSItion was another thing entirel y

Adams heard comment that
''Disneyland is bener." whil e
standing in the shadow of
Switzerland's Matterhorn.
Although the author directl y
confronts America· s neurotic
claims to spirituaJ sp lendor. her
book is also an affectionate
biography of the United States
told in the language of roller

In its pages she tracks the
salad days, tragedies and eel ·

such as Co ney Island and Cedar

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

EDUCATION'S COICERII,.

HAT ARE his views, goals and expectations for
higher education at UB in the nineties? Professor
Greiner spelled out some of his views on scholarship and the University in an address delivered
Nov. 2, 1989 at the dedication of the Undergraduate _College.
Speaking of the fundamental premises of the
University's 1967 reorganization, Greiner said they were "both
wonderfully right and quixotically wrong." He said:
"We needed !ben as we need now, professional schools which ground their cduca·

tional mission in good theory, good
scholar.ihip. and good research. But the theory.
scholamup. and research of a professional
school should be directed to resoJving the
problems defmed by the clientele served by
the profession and by the institutions lhrougb
which that clientele is served. lf, for example,
a School of Law does only theoretical inquiry
it will not adequately serve its university, its
students, or its society. But if a School of Law
supports no theoretical inquiry, it also fails
university, students. and society. lbat was so
in 1932. in 1962. in 1972. and it is so today.
''Then as now, education in the disciplines, both undergrnduate and graduate. must
be concerned with social purpose and serviee. We do not now teach the Arts and
Sciences in a social vacuum , and we never
did . The differences hetwce.n professions and

Also. Japanese srudents don ' t study very

While the international program includes
students from approximately I 00 countries.
Williams explained that over the last I0 yean
a majority of the fon:ignen attending UB
have come from India. Taiwan. China. Japan
and Korea. Although that is still the case, he
sees some changes. "We are starting to see
more East European students than we've

The key to this program for Williams is
the sense of commitment shown by the staff
and the willingness of the new students to

The University of Kansas was paired with
UB because it has a well-developed program
in the areaofWestern Civilization. Woelfel' s
report coogratulaled all involved with preparing the proposal. I have almost nothing
but pnlise for the proposed CQre cuniculum."
wrote Woelfel, who called it "a remarltable
and highly unusual achievemenl in undergraduate education for a large public research university and a model for si mil ar
institutions."
For Thorpe. dean of the Undergrtlduate
College, who views the proposed changes to
the CUI'riculum as very beneficial. Woelfel' s
report came as a great reassunmce aod cornfort. " We have really worlted hard on thi s
program aod feel strongly about its quality.''
be said in a recent interview . .. But il's nice 10

have gotten !his kind of external support
from a man whose own program is held in
such high esteem."
Woelfel was notonly co mphrnentary about
the core proposal. but al so had l&lt;ind rernarlt s
for the procedure through wh1ch the program
was develo ped and lhe will 1ngnes.s offacuh·y
to teach within the proposed program. "( It )
was truly a faculty-created plan--with SIU·
dents also involved in the deliberations and
mandaled student evaluauons o f lh(' pilol
cou~s-and not an administTaUv(' impos1 ·
tion," he wrote . ··Somelhing like 50 facult y
have expressed imeresl in leaching World
Civi li zation al some poim . lt has been offered
o n a piloc. basis for two years by facult y from
a range of departments. and generaled con siderable faculty and student enthusiasm.··
Although he was most interested in the
Western Civilization cQUI"Se that is a part of
the new cuniculum proposal. Woelfel did

noc stop with praise for that area of the plan.
.. I believe lhe intellec:rual content of the proposed UB co~mn gi ng from World Civilinuion 10 Sc1entific lnqm ry - is substantial,
mherentl y 1nterestmg. and well sequenced.
and s how!&lt;o an e ffon to view the components
of the co~ a.'\ parts of a whole ...
suggesuon offered •n Woelfel' s re·
pon ce ntered on ho w best to achieve an
engagmg and useful mtellectual atmospherr
for the students. "(They) perhaps need to give
more anenrion in a corporate way ... to the
design of methods to o primize studen! imere..IOt and achieve lhe goal s of s1udentleaming
thai the core env1s1o ns ... H(' suggested that an
assessmenl poll could be administered to
graduating seniC&gt;n\ concerning the ..outcome··
of the program.
However. the mc;st 1mpor1ant factor with
regard to student learning and interest would
be ..faculty interaction described asoneofthe
guiding principles ... Thorpe agreed and
stressed th at the facuh y·s adjustment to the
program wa&lt; a htgh pnority within the proposal . " A real challenge facing us is ad·
equatel y preparing facuh y to teach these
cour.es." Thorpe said.
Woelfel also pointed out that the development of student writing and critical thinking
were clear goals of UB 's program but added
that no fonnaJ apparatus had been put in
place as yet to address these two issues.
However. Thorpe pointed out that a fonnaJ
stalemenl had been adopted by th(' curri culum committee tha1 d1rec tl y pertained to these:"
two component'i..
The widespread famihant y at UB with the
core proposaJ was an important factor in the
overall accept.ance of the program. according
to Woelfel. " I believe the committee has uied
very conscientiously to allow for max.imaJ
'input' at all stages along the way. and by the
time the v~ is taken the general education
proposals will have been thoroughly aired on
o
the UB campus...

The advantage of the SEFA
program over the United Way
alone is that you can choose
from a broader spectrum of
services to which to contribute.
Yo u may direa a gift any w.oy
you like: to one or more

agencies: to a group of agencies

You may no&lt; be using services
from SEFA-funded agencies
now, but you may have in the
past ( Boy Scouts o r Girl Scouts,
for example). You can consider
your contribution as insurance
for the future, too, when you
may need the services of local
agencies. And look around chances are, a friend, nelghboo;
or relative now relies on the

fortunate. Instead of conlinulng

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"Every insuuctionaJ dollar is spent and

For Kerry Grant, lhe Uni
ity'~ new
dean of arts and letteR. !lie
ipitous
position is an invig

rllher than CIWIC for~"" gloom.
Fn:lb from lhe Uni

lhe School of
Music, Gnn!, 45, is setiling into his Clemens
Hall office, sizing up lhe University's arts
scene and tha1 of lhe community.
'
"I was intelaled in this position ,primarily for the diversity it offered." said Grant.
a musicoJogist who is now in charge of. I I
humanities • and arts departments. "I've
'Mllted very intensively in lhe arts and value
lhe arts very highly. But lileriiUte and the
hwnanities in general an: very important to .
me. Coming hen: gives me the opportunity
to work more broadly and, mon: particularly, to educate myself about a wider range
of activities. This was a compelling reason to
llke'lhe job despite the budget difficulties."
In dealing with hard choices facing his
faculty. Grant believes tha1 "when programs
lose reaoun:es you either founder about and
wort piccemeal. putting them ~k together
again, or you strive to re-focus and develop
missions which an: smaller than those you

P

ertlaps the most visible pan of Gran!' s

.new job will be oversight of the new
FlOC AJU Center, due to open in early 1993

11 a construction cost of $42 million. In
Grant's view,lhe ceruer will likely n:-focus
c:ampus arts activities. improve town-gown
rapport and ensure gn:ater effoc:ienc:ies when
it comes to deploying artistic: forces.
Right now, Gmnt, who helped plan

performing arts as an Or-ganized activity.
An activist when it comes to forging
town-gown ties in lhe arts, Grant notes that
these interactions.,., most assuredly in the
University's best interests.

gained in worting with community
arts organizations in NebniSka. For instance.
he instituted a lhn:e-way partnership with
the Lincoln Symphony and the Nebmska

ForGrant,thecenter' s putential for showcasing the performing arts. underscores the
need for attention to literature and the
b.umanities.'1'he center represents a new
focus for the arts on campus and a new
opportunity for the University to serve the
community with ans pre:sentalions.
"You can mlher handily bring people's
attention to arts progr11ins by inviting them
to gallery openings, through conc:en promotions. etc. It's rather more difficult to make
the publ ic aware of the contributions of
American Studies, Classics or Modem Languages. because most of what those pro-

G

gramsdo, are very imponant but in ways that
are not very public.
'1llis is a very. very good faculty . But I
think it' s rather more of a secret than I'd like
ittobe.''

-----

In considering programming for the Fme
Arts Center. Grant says he "gOI some interesting perceptions" from members of the
center" s An.s Advisory Board.
" ( found that it is not easy and natuntl ror
many people in Buffalo to come out to the
new campus. And that is somethiog which I
think a variery of approaches can helppromotional is one ...
Grant would like to see the center find its
niche in the local aru community without
threatening lhe survival of ansorganizations
through progmmming overtill.
"We are nOI generally enhanced if we
simply tnlnsfer·t he support from the community in to the campus and watch our commu~
nity ans organizations falter. New activities
generate new dollars and c:ooperalive ventu~s with communit y ans~ do a
great deal."
Immediate plans call for worting -with
the Music Deparunent on a plan that it is .
hoped. will n:solve last spring'scontroversy
about the fate of the music education progmm; helping Modem Languages gmpple
with a proposal for an undergraduate foreign
language n:quirement. and planning for a
heightened pn:sence for the visual arts on
~am pus.
With all Ans and Letters departments
soon to be gathered on the Nonh Campus.
Grant foresees any number or creative interactions not previously possible. " Previously.
these were hindered by geography:· he said.
.. Many or the great ideas for interaction

HE USE of chemotherapeutic

. nand adolescents with cancer does not appear to increase the mquency of
congenital problems in theif offspring. according to researchen affiliated
with R oswell Park Cmlcer lostitute and UB.
They report in the July 18 New England
Journal of M•dicint that with the exception
of one agent. &lt;!actinomycin, a higher incidence of congenital anomalies was not found
in a follow-up study involving the birth of
I02 children to 60 former cancer patients.
iD the c... of dactinomycin, stru&lt;;tural
congenital cardiac defects were found ln 2 of
20 infants born to women wbo had been
treated with the drug. The 10 percent
rence of the defects. lhey noted. compared
with a rate of .6 P.rcent for infants in the
general population.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

ARAH DUAX loves a
challenge
The 22 -year -old
grnduate of Amherst
Central Hrgb School
gave up pursuing a career as a
ballel danc.er becaust " it wasn ' t
quite mental enough. I feel I need
a balance between ph ysical and
mental exercise," she says. Her
two primary passio ns. malhemat •cs and danc zng . she feel s provide
her with the intellectual and
phy~•cal c hallenges she craves:
A dancer "'ince the age of mnc.
Duu spent two years taking
lessons at the Pennsylvania
School of Bal let in Philadelph•• ·
··ttt11nk I li ke to dance because
tt' s a good way for me to have
conrrol over myse lf. and presents
me with a physical challenge,"
she says.
Looking for greater intellec·
tual stimulation. Duax entered
UB to study biophysics.
"But then. I liked math all of
the sudden ," sbe recalls. "I liked
my classes. and UB is pretty g~
in math. so I changed my ma)OI'.
OuaJl honestly feels math is
"fun ... Math. she says. "is a big

guess I lilr.e things that are chal·
lenging. I have this idea that
there 's always an answer, that
there is somethi ng to go after and
find_·'

Owu&lt; also has continued dane·
ing. Last year. sbe was a member
of UB's Zodiaque Dance Company. where sbe says sbe "met a
lot of nice people, and bad a lot of
fim doing i~ It was defioit.ely not
as streSSful as a ballet company."
She now worts at Mullen
Sisten School of Dance. instruct·
ing children ages 8-16. "It's fim .
and there · s no pressure." she
notes. " It's teaehing. but their

future is not in my hands. thank
God...
Owu&lt; is a student io the Uoi·
versity Honan Program and
maintains a near-perfect 8J1Ide
point avenge. She atlributes her
high level of achievement to
··eating a lot of cbocol&amp;Je. It has
nothing to do with me."
After graduation, 0uax plans
to srudy math at the gnoduate
level at UB and, a little fanher
down the road. hopeS to travel
througbou~the world. " I'd like to
go everywhere," sbe says. "I'd
like to try Otina again, and go
back. to Europe. I lilr.ed Italy a
lot."

ln Junc 1989, Duax was to

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

budget c ut ~ wh1ch we:rt 1mpm ell
unexpectedl y th1 s summer o n our
Umversny were extremel y harsh
The magnuude of these budget
reduct ions 1s roughl y equ1valent
10 the: level of state fundmg fo r
ou r School of Engmeenng, o r for
any one of ou r three Arts and
Sciences Faculties. or for both
our School of Dental Medicmc
and our School of Nursmg.
Faced with the necess1t y of
pa ring down our expenditures.
we have chosen to protect
academic programs against direct
c uts to tbe g~atest extent
possi ble . Thus, in order to
prevent reductions in faculty and
course offerings. wt have
adopted a two-pan strategy: we
arc reducing suppon services,
and 'we are inc~asing local
reve nues. For examp)e, we have
eliminated 35 non-academic staff
positions, reduced support for
set·up costs for new faculty,
distributed a $1 million across·
the-board cut in operating
budgeu. to all. academic and
administrative units, and reduced
funding for computer services,
libraries and the physical plant.
ln keeping witb the second
part of our strategy, wt: have
increased some existing user fees
and imp~mented several new

well as special serv1a: dunng
holidays, summer sess1ons and
exami nation penods. Their
distress has led us to evaluate
carefully other a lternatives to the
present system , including
arrangements with the N FT A
and private: bus companies.
P~liminary indications a~
that these alternatives would be
much more: costly to our
students. For example, monthly
NFTA bus passes wou ld cost
about SI SO per semester at
current rates. Moceover. the
NFTA alternative would
probably eliminate all routes
except those: di~ctl y connecting
the North and South Campuses.
Thus the: current University bus
system, with its extensive inter- ~
campus and intra&lt;ampw routes ,
is a real bargain at SSO per
semester or slightly more: than S3
per week .
It is worth noting that other

SUNY campuses - and indeed a
large number of major public
universities across the nation -

olreody charw&lt; students for
campw bus service. In fact , evc:ry
student at institutions such as
SUNY-Binghamton. Rutgen and
the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst pays a mandatory fee
to support campus bus systems ,

1

whether or not he or she chooses
to ride the buses. Therefore: the
bus fee being implemented this
semester at UB is neither
unpreceden ted nor unreasonable
tn terms of state and national
practices.
To make it as easy as poss ible
for students to buy a bus pass.
we have arranged for students to
c harge the cost of the pass to
thetr indtviduaJ student accounts
wit h the bill to be payable in the
spring term . Moreover , we have
mcluded the cost of the: bus pass
10 our financtal atd formulas .
a nd thu.!o man y students will be
eligib le for more fmancia.l aid to
help offset the cost of riding the

co mbmed charge will also be:
deferred. to the spnng semester
billing.
In tbls time of severe fiscal
constraints , both for New York
State as a whole and for the
Univenity at Bufflllo, one fact is
unfortunately clear: UB can no
longer afford to provide free bus
service. Either we wiU maintain
the current system with a modest
fee of $50 per semester, or we
will be forced to arrange for a
less convenient service at a
co nsiderably higher cost through
an agency like the NFTA . The
response o f our academic
community during the next two
weeks will determine whether our
current system wilJ continue to
exist. If we collectively decide:
not to pun:bue bus passes, the

current system will iJ&gt;evitably be
~placed by a more costly and
less flexible alternative.
Therefore l urge everyone students , faculty and staff- to
suppon the cum:nt busina
syttem by purchasing a bus pa.51.

tn so doing yqu will be belping

of iu most seve~ rlSCA.I crises.

Obtaining financial aid for fees
tudenl-' who arc
unable to pay the
trans ponauon fee
can get financiaJ
aid relief. John G .
Karrer, director of stud ent
finances and records. said last
week .
St udents wh o think the fees
wo uld present a financial
hard~h1p arc asked to VISit
Fmanc1al A1d Dff1ces in Hayes
Annex C. where they will be
advi~ o n a f•rst-come . first served basis. At this point .
Karrt:r explained. ~he y wou ld
file amended financial aid
10formation which would take
10to account the increased fet.-s
or other unanticipated cosb
that might be due to their
personal or family situations ~
All students have
trans portation costs figured

The bU&gt; fee . Kam:r sa~d . has
a/read\· l::l«n figured into the
stude nt budget used as the
bas1 ~ for determming flnan c1al

S

At the time new fees were
be1ng considered, an extra

S I00 was added to
transpo rtation costs in the
student budget. However.
students at UB don'
necessarily get awarded 100
percent of their total budget
through campus aid. Those
who don' receive the full
amount and who need
additi o nal money to pay the
bus fee can apply for outside
bank loans. such as the
Stafford Loan, an official in
Student Accounts explained .
A student's financial aid
package is determined on an
annuaJ basis. but adjustments
can take place throughout the
year. Karrer said ... Tbc
q uesti o n that remains open is
prcc1sely ~hen any adjusted
fmanciaJ aid would actually ~
avai lable to the student.
-s till. it should be
em ph asized that if the new
ci rcumstances warrant
add1t1o naJ financial aid. such
a•d would be fonhcoming
within this school year ...
As for how Karrer's office
determines financial need in
gcrle ral , ... we look at the

student's expenses for tuition,
books and fees. We deduct tbe
family contribution lim. Then
we assess the unmet need to
sec what might be available
through PeU or TAP. The
difference can be .Det in the
form of work study or a
Stafford Loan which used to
be the Guaranteed Student
Loan ...
Moreover. all students ~
eligible for an emergency loan
of up to $300 for any kind of
emergency from tbe Financial
Aid OffiCt, Karrer said. "This
loan is available to every
swdent - not just those who
arc receiving financial aid. It
can be obtained in about a
week and must be repaid
within the ~. Typically •
it is used for such things as an
emergency trip home because
of a death in the family, or if
money is expected from other
sources but has not yet
arrived , or in a case where
someone is -wai~for the
financial aid dollars to be
actually dispersed, etc."

had a more optimistic message to

1991 -92 we expect the State
budget to be at least as difficult
for us as has bcc:n the cxpcnencc
thus far m 1990-91

especially. is feeling the pinch:
New Yo rk State has a reaJ
budget cn sis!

1lus year New York raised
some taxes , raised some fees. and
cut some expenditures. In that
tough budget process SUNY was
required to raise its income ,
though not its tu1uon income .
and to reduce some expenditures
All things considered. however ,
SUNY has been treated fairly

In assessing the rok: of the
Lc:pslature or the Governor With
respect to the 1990-91 budgr:t, tt
LS 1m port ant to note t~at SUNY ,
as a system . amd UB . along w1th
othn S UNY campuses. will
spend mo n: State appropnated
do llarl m 1990-91 than they
spent tn 1989-90. Tlus foll ows. 1n
pan . fr o m the fact that the State
honon all collective barga.mmg
agreements. All State empl oyees
havt: received . or will soon
rea:ive , significant negotiated
salat)' increases . That is both
good news and bad news . Thc
good news for U B is that we can
..:onttnue to atlract and hold

T he bad news is that the State
has had to pay for the salary

Over the past four years. UB
has been sub¢ to this process
of rec:ciVtng additional St ate

-and other special Items. and then

unit s. 1.e .. the Facuhtes. Sc hools
and Departments. and of ce ntra l
academ1c support units , such as
the Libranes and Computing
Center. Our purpose has been to
protect the integrity and qualit y

of our academic programs: to
preserve access to instruction and
to support research; to allow
replacements of academic and
academic suppon staff: and to
acqu1n: essential equipment
ThtS budget strategy has
wo rked as a short term rt:sponsc.
but we have exhausted its
potential. The indirect o r
seco ndary effects of th1s strategy
arc already being felt by
academic units. For example .
over the past few years C%ntrall y
administered fund s have: been
used almost entm:l y to suppo rt
academiC units. e.g.. fo r maJ n t
equipment acq uisit ions and fo r
facilities rehabilitation and
devc:lopmcnt for both new and
alread y employed facult y Now
that we have lost most of those
fund s. we also have lost much o f
the capactt y to pro v1de that t ype
of support to academtc unns

We now have: to loo k
elsewhere to absorb fun her
reductions. Our cho1ces hert' an:
clear but not easy. We can cut
academic unit budgr:ts. or fun her
reduce services. or increase
revenues or some combmat10n o f
each. This year we chose to d o
some of each. We assigned a S I

has not had a tuition increase

Another option would have been
to have one mandatory

students. However, this approach
also was not pennitted at this

To date , an insuff.Oent
number of bus passes has been
sold. Over tbe next couple of
weeks, the Busing Service
Committee, compoted of
administrative orr.c:cn, faculty.
st&amp;IT and studenu, will be
yapplins with this issue . The
committee is attempting to
identify and recommend ways tn
which necc:ua.ry revenue might
be genen~ted . or to identify
allemativc bus service. But. as
matters now stand . it IS
tmperata\le that we charge user

At thtS critical umc , the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"Even if that position is filled. it would

The plan. he said, will give the University some flexibility as it prepares for the
expected redaction of its FTE (full-Tome
Equivalent) staff following agreement early
th is month on the 1991 -92 stale budget.
Though Wilson would have liked to see
more take advantage of the incentive, he is
pleased that UB had the largest number of
individuals who chose the plan of any SUNY
unit. Nearly 340 eligible employees chose
the plan SUNY-wide. Wilson explained.
""11t05e who were thinking of retiring
now or in the next year or two. probably
decided thanhis was enough of an incentiv~

to get them to retire early." said Wilson. "If

who will retire are faculty memben, Wtlsoo

"As people tnlveled toward Santiago,"

it should be allributed to the Italian Romaneaque oculp!Dr, Biduious.
Glua, a leading authority in Italian Ro~ sculpture, hopes to explain more

precisely why tbe portal bas certain themes
and features, and to account for what is a
unique mix of characteristics. She points to
the richness of sculpted deconition as seen in
the "Entry irno Jerusalem" on the linu:l.
reflecting a theme that can be seen in R&lt;&gt;manesquesculptureall along the Italian coast
of Tuscany and in Southern France.

G

wort in New Yort., where scholarly
resources in medieval art are abundantly

available.

Her fellowship year will likely include
six weeks in Italy to search out appropriau:
books and photographs. She plans 8 lengthy
article on the portal and a possible mon&lt;&gt;graph on the sculptor Biduinus.

AJthough there has been a steady increase
in the number of people taking advantage of
the program. Burke feels that many state
employees simply don't know the program
exists ...1 believe that there is not sufficient
understanding of our program and its services ... she: says.
EAP is designed to help employees and
their families cope with a wide range of
problems that they may not be able to solve
on an individual level, explained Burke.
There are pieseotly two coordinators who
may be Contacted by employees to seek help
with problems that include substAnce abuse,
health matten and legal assistance. 'fl!e coordinators bave lists of various communiry

resources o ut there that are genera.J iy free but
people don' t know about them."
Clinical Assistant Professor Wilma Watts,
who teaches undergraduate nurse education,
is one of two EAP coordinators ar. UB. Half
of her time is spent teaching and the other
half is spent working with·campus employees through EAP. She thinks that going to the
EAP for assistance is becoming easier because society in general has begun to accept
and encourage such action. "It is now more
socially acceptable to use EAP. People are
becoming more aware of the problems that
others across thC board are having in society."
Although the EAP offers refemls for a
great number of potential problems, Watts
identified specific problems that employees

great many of the employees ha ve
made use of the EAP at UB and have

sought out the help on their own initiative,
according to Burke. "The majority of contacts are self-referrals. About 75 percent. I'd
say." However, supervisoB. sensing a prol&gt;lem with one of !heir employees, can recommend the EAP as a way of tlddreasing that
issue.
"If a c&lt;&gt;-worka' or supetviso&lt; eeea an

to bolster their

" We have all
thi s wonderful tech no logy with which to
transfer genes.·· Baldwin
said. "The problem. is. what
genes do we move ? Once: we identify those traits and Lheir genetic basis in a nati ve plant, we'll know what to stick
into agricultural crops:·
Recent ad vances in the control of pests
have focused largely on genetically allering
c rops so they c an produce their own insecticides. But. according to Baldwin. such effons still do not solve the persistent proble m
of insects developing resistance to new pesticides. In fact, he said, there is evidence Lhat
insects have already developed resistance to
plants that have been altered to produce Lhe
insecticidal protein from Bacillus
rhuringi~nsis, commonly known as BT.
"Simply transferring genes into plants is
no more stable than using exogenous
pe s ticide s . "
Baldwin sa id.

" A plant 's generati on time IS longer than

explained Baldwin.
He n01ed !hal !h-. moSl wide ly accepled
theories about how plants protect themselves
from pests have concentrated primarily on
.. secondary .. melaboliles. which include !h-.
!oxic chemicals called alkaloids !hal planlS

B

ut . he said. that is onl y half the story . In
Lhe e ffort to protect themse lves. plants
a lso undergo accelerated ph ys io log ic al
c h a nge ~ th at may mclude the conversi on of
a lkal o id ~ bac k int o prote in metabo lite s.

Sberidin also thinks that with the successful application of chaos theory,. the
"sticky plate" idea could tum out to be useful
in helping scientists undentand why eruJ&gt;tions occur.
He said that the "stickiness" may be due

Under these conditions, a great deal of
strain can build up aloos the QOIIverJelll

uniWbed in the form of eartbquakcs or
volcanic eruptions.
"An aspect of chaos is that it produces ·
critically Unsta1&gt;1e cooditiOOJ, which result .
in sudden bunts of activity," said Sberidln.

The ~ned player ~ws wilh fluidity and grace, framing the perfonnance in a way that delights
and mstructs the aud1ence .
The young pianist. however. must learn how to bow, a process that brought about giggles and
awkward tries during a session for 15· and 16-year-olds led by Robert Jordan. a Juilliard and
Eastman School graduate who has performed with leading orchestras.
Shyly they made their way back and forth across the Baird Recital Hall stage at the request
. of Jordan. a Fredonia State College music professor with a mellifluous voice and gentle
manner.
"Walk briskly to the stage, but not so fast that you are racing," he said. " By walking briskly. you can
have a few more seconds before the audience, and can then establish eye contact. •• One must never
. walk so slowly as to arrive on stage after the applause has fmished.
•·· . Bow from the waist. he said. but save the deep bow for a truly spectacular
-performance.
''It's very important that you try to anticipate every aspect of performance."
Jordan said later. "Many teachers understandably focus on getting the piece
prepared. yet we know that people respond to the whole of the performance.
' "What has happened in recent years is that people have been gening away from going to live
events. Yet there is a magic and aura about live performance and a respect for the stage, that appropriate
stage componment helps to enhance.
"It's important to teach young people a respect for the stage. They have an obligation to be

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

I love uodergraduates." she says.
Having served the Undergraduatt: College as; a senior member. chair of ttle membership and governance comminoe and
memberofthecwriculum commiaee. Cipolla
was naturally delightt:d to see its curriculum
pass through the Faculty Senate. "It' s a great
stt:p forward for undergraduatt:s."' she says.
'1'he nexl step toward improving undergraduale education is to get advisement and
student life improved. I'll be watching-l'll
be interested, supportive. bul I won't be
directly involved this time."
Cipolla has been a vital link between the
undergraduate curriculum and the UGL.
working with both students and faculty .
..I think it's important to introduce stu dents to the !Blest in library tt:chnology . to
improve their ability to do their own re search and evaluate information." she says.
'"So much new is happening. there is so much
to learn. I've wod&lt;ed with faculty to know
wha1 their goals are with their courses, and
help them meet them. And to lead faculty.
too. by introducing them to multi -media and
helping them find new ways of tt:aching.
"I've tried to be an advocate for under-

graduatt:s. sotheycando well mtheirclasses_
1lle librarians here are all intt:rested in helping students as individuaJs. Undergraduates
always have a tough time. That's why the
UGL was established. so they would have
access to books they need for research. or for
reading. Before. they would look for something. and most likel y a graduate student had
beal them 10 11. ..
he adds thai "the average undergradu ate doesn"t use the entire two week.A
normall y given to write a paper. They wait
until the last minute. and the pressure to find
the books they need is greater. Thai 's why
we try to get the books back. on the shelves as

S

quickly as possible."
C ipolla expects that the new UGC cur·
ric ulum will have a signiftcanltmpacl on the
UGL. "As the curriculum changes, the collection, services, and emphasis will change.
There will be more non-science majors looking for science materials. Thai will require
the library to boy materials in general science, along with books and periodicals in
genetics, evolution. the environment.. etc. "
Working with the UGL and undergnldu ales "has been one of the most satisfying
things I've ever done. I'm proud to be associated with that kind of innovative act:iviry.''tl

The UB experiment. wh ich has received

on experiments by the four astronaut/researchers who were par1 of the seven-person

'The astronauts may then be in less than

this 'decooditioning' and the rate at which it

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

g lish major Kedra Small
Burgos' goal is to help people. especially the
underprivileged.
Like many students, Burgos. 22. has
worl&lt;ed her way through college. Determined
to avoid taking a job in a fast food restaurant
or grocery store, she took a position as a
psychiatric assistant at Bry-Lin Hospital.
The job. an&lt;! her dail y
interaction with psychiatric patients. have
become an integral
part of her pre-law
education.
"Being a psychiatric assistant is a very
people-associated job," explains Burgos. who
now works in the hospital' s admissions office with her husband. "! had to deal with
people in crisis on a daily basis. That kind of
experience is going to help me in the future ,
because that 's really what being a lawyer i!&gt;
all abouL''

A native of Buffalo, she lnlnsferred to UB
after an unhappy year ala small college. "UB
has an excellent English depanmem with a
great reputation," Burgos explains ... 1 went
into English for a lot of reasons. I have
always liked reading. and it was one of my
favorite subjects in high school. The courses
I took at UB were reall y interesting, and 11

was in those that I got my best grades. It 's
also good preparation for law schooL"
Her work in the English Department has
brought her national recognition. Burgos
was awarded fi rs t place in the 1990
Scribbler's Prize contest for a poem thai
reflects one of her political concerns .
"It was basically about how the media is
always so quick to choose a spokesperson
for Black America. someo~~t li ke Jesse Jacko;;.on . who is rea ll y out of touch and more
J~:f"'lltl.tl l} ambitious.·· Burgos explains 'The
mam point I S that we don't always have LO
have a leader. We just have to get organized
and work together.··
Burgos hopes to d&gt;mpile more poetry and
publish it for others to read, but she would
like to tx able to explain it to them as well.
"Law influences my poeuy, now and in
the future," she says. "So my subjects are
very political. and though I really shouldn 't
have to exp lain it. I fear that people might
misinterpret my meaning and not like me
afterwards ...

urgos describes the education she received at UB as ··excellent. " But her
most thrilling experience. she admits, is not
college-related. " My marriage is really the
most exciting thing that has happened to me
over the last four years ... she says. "That. and
the th ings my professon encouiaged me to
do.
"Balancmg sc hool . work.. and my marPiage laught me how to manage my lime.
Law sc hoo l demands a lot of attention, and
learn ing how to balance other things in your
life with it is imJX&gt;nant" Burgos says,
not interested in making a lot of moneyl ' m into making a lot of change. I' m not into
working for a large corporation . I want to be
a sman lawyer and help people o ut. and help
improve the righL'i and representation of
minorities."

Some 12,000 cases of cancer of the larynx are diagnosed annually in th&lt;&gt;U .S ., about
80 percent of them in ntates.
The UB study involved inltrviews with

equal number of healthy matched controls.
Interviews focused on usual intalc.e of 129
food items, as well as lifetime history of
smolcing cigareues, pipes and cigars. and
lifetime alcohol intalc.e.
Freudenbeim reported the follow ing
findings:
• Smoking: Among those who smoked
two packs of cigareues per day or more for
more than 20 years, the risk of laryngeal
cancer was 12 times greater, compared with
non-smolcers, and increased with increasing
intensity of smolcing.
'There was no association of ri sk with
either pipe or cigar smolting,'' Freudenheim
reported. " FUidings regarding cigars and
pipes are somewhat difficult to interpret in

filr to uy lbal BuffalO (IDd Western New
York)~uP.•c~~c in its labor

force. The community wentthrougbaperiod
of industrial shrinkage in the late 1970s," he
said. " Many worker.; were laid offbut stayed
in Western New York and are now underemployed or unemployed. These people are
kept on a national union Ust and can be hired
by their union at any time. This has ~
a soft market in Wesrern New York. Industry
has had an easy time finding skilled workers
wben they needed them."
However, Hunt believes that this closet
work fon:e will begin lj)diminish soon. ''The
probjem is that theae people are gelling older
and industry people are n01 planning ahead
to replace them. And even the people who
still have high slcilllevels often haven't used
skills for many years and are illequipped to re-auer the work force."
'The aboeJlce of concern shown by area

concentrates on bow Western New York can
develop a comprebensive.slrlltegy aimed at
genenting an integrated human resources
plan that will, enab~~ the region to enjoy
economic expansi9o and create new jobs.
Convincing area businesses that this
•lrlltegy is worthwhile and necessary is another story, according to Hunt
"It would certainly be prudent for Westem New York employers to be more

those

thoughtful toward theirhuman resources
policies. But it's as if they've made the
assumption that the soft labor market will
continue indefinite! y," he said. " And they're
also doing very little training within the
present work force - at least that' s what
they told us on the survey:"

W

estern New York employers hold the
belief that there will be little economic and industrial growth in the region in
the near future. No economic expansion
trans Ia~ into a continuing soft labor market
and a core of unemployed. "Western New
York employer.; also believe that tl)ere is no
rislc to them of new entries into the business
community, bringing new coinpetition,'' he
s8ld. "They think that New York is perceived as 001 a good place to do business.
"The national tren&lt;t suggests an increasingly ill-prepared work fon:e," said Hunt. "J
believe that ovet the long rerm, you're going
to find the labor market tightening quite
significantly."
Hunt would like to see a greater emphasis
placed on recruiting minorities into the
region's labor force. But there ~ to ·be a
sys tem of training. "I'm not faulting any of
the affirmative action policies,'' Hunt said.
"But you' re not going to hire a minority
worker to do a slcilled job when he doesn't
have the skills."

AIIJII&amp;

Herreid sees growing need
to hone TA teaching skills

A

GROWING EMPHASIS on
research has led to professon
spending fewer hours in the
classrOOm. according toOyde
Herreid, director of UB 's
Honors Program. This. in tum. he says, has
led to teaching assistants shouldering a burden they're not always equipped to carry.
And while graduate students are encouraged
ltl fe&lt;.•J lh;.~l [l''earl·h :wd wri tiO$! father than
teachmg are the emphases of the academy .
Herreid holds. the skills needed in the classroom become neglected.
''The amount of hours faculty members
spend in the classroom is dropping drastically, and the burden placed on graduate
students is a travesty." Herreid said. '1ltis is
a national trend that is not unique to UB. As
grants 10 professors become of major importance, as resea.n:h becomes a dominant pan
of professors· lives. graduate students are
left to shoulder major responsibilities within
depanments.
''Teaching used 10 he the cenln!.l part of
the Univer.;ity; now it is research and grant
money to do research. The faculty are finding that they ' re not rewarded for teaching, so
teaching falls increasingly on T As. We rely
more heavily than ever on their skills. Ut.len ~
and dedication; in some depanments they
become entirely responsible for courses," he
said.
Herreid is especially concerned that.. in
many departments, the performances of
teaching ass istants in the classroom go entirely unsupervised by faculty.
"You at least need a supervisor who meets
weekly to discuss the problems arising in the
cfassroom. For at least three hours a week I
meet 15 T As and discuss cases that range
from decorum. presentations, to distributiop
of materiaJ s and so on. But what you don't
see are the range of possibilities offered by a
supervisor in the classroom. It's a little stress·
ful on the teaching assistant. but without
some way to monitor you don ' t know what 's
going on in there ...
Herreid, and other professors like him .
feel that the problem must he mel head-on.
"What intelligent schools are doing,.is
saying. ' Let's face up to i~ let 's recognize
our teaching assistants, and let's train them. ·
There is a national need for training the skills
of TAs, and although UB made some attempts. there was no Universiry·wille program."
Such a program has now been insti tuted:
Herre id helps run the Office of Teaching
Effectiveness. and will be among the speakers at the Summer Teaching Assistant Workshop in Knox and Baldy Halls. Aug. 19-20.

"Some years ago, faculty on campus became concerned about a lack of teaching
skills and recognized that it was important
that teaching assistants get proper training.
Ultirn.alely a committee was formed by a
member from the Office of Teaching Effectiveness. Norma Henderson, by a member
from Social Sciences. Larry Schneider, by
J~ue Ludwig from Ans and Leners. and
my~ f.
"We organized a summer workshop last
year that wa..\ fma.nclall y

M~pponed

by the

three deans from Am and Sciences and John
Thorpe, vice provost for undergraduate education. We put together a four-day conference and we're doing it again this year---&lt;~
new and improved version.
"The focus is on helping sbldents learn
how 10 lecture, and we'realso going 10 have
a session on how to develop skills in discussion. reading and interaction in the classroom. There's a seminar on bow toconsttuct
tests-in the afternoon sludents will get together and present mini-lectures; these will
be videotaped so that students see their own
perforrnance."

T

he model for the workshop was a faculty
workshop set up by the senate, and
Herreid 's experienceislhatabout ISOgnduates sign up and become, as ihe sessions
move on. a solid core of SO dedicated studenrs.
''The core of about 50. who went through
all lh~ classes, were from all disciplines-engineering, arts and sciences. the professional sc!tools." Herreid would like to 1;ee
depanments institute teaching programs .;f
their own. Some do, be says, but not enough.
"Ideally, there should be a three-tier program: a University-wide program, departmenUt.l effons, and then faculty supervisor
efforts.
''There is no reason why a grant-research
institution can't be a teaching institution as
well. The two are not incompatible. With
creative thinking, we can do the training that
encourages excellence in the classroom. But
while we're put in a place where tile emphasis of a serious college is not in the classroom, the focus of faculty and graduates
won't be there. Hopefully, this will change.
but universities are very resistant tocllange,"
he said.
''The tradition of teaching goes back thousands of years, and we're no further, ,along
than throwing a student into a classroom and
sayi ng ' teach."' The public at large understands this and they· re really unhappy: that 's
why you see a national push for assessmenl
They see the standards failing and want to
document it; they want to make us accountable. And we should be."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

His Subject
Is Writing
.... Collills &amp;eta ........ ;

..... anc:Om..u-.~ method
EACHING CONVENTIONAL
writing in unconventional fashion
is UB Professor Jim Collins' approach lO preparing teachers lO
enter the classroom.
"The basic idea is that you learn to teach
from your own teaching experience," said
Collins. associaie professor of learning and
insiJUction in the Graduale School of Edu-

T

cation.
"We put teachers and wrilerS (students)
in the same classroom. 1lle teachers woll&lt;
with the kids ootheassignmentand when the
k:ids leave, the leaehers discuss the students'
written wort and the experience."
For Collins, the cballeoge of a writing
teacher is to preserve the child's voice while
teaching the conventions of the writleD language. His model of teaching wasadapled
from ~essor Cbarles Moran of the Universityoi'Massachusetts. who visiled Collins·
Springfield High School classroom.
"He would bring a station wagon load of
graduate sbldeots to woll&lt; witli my class and
lbrougbtthismodelwithmetoUB in 1979."
he said.

According to Colhn~. dc.alu.1g J.i..u.:t..Ll)
wrth the studen t helps th(' teacher understand

the ongm of lhe studenl' s writing problems.
"Tbe cooventiooal way wou1d be to give
writing assignments and then send the students home to siJUggle on their own. ll's a
much richer experience to view the entire
writing process. If you only look at the
wrillen woll&lt;. you're left guessing. at the
causes of the writing problem.
"Many problems an: sociological and not
psychological," Collins explained.
An example be mentioned would be instructing college srudents to write a paper on
Joseph Conrad's Hean of Darkness, explaining the use of symbols and images.
'
''1bis is fine for an English major," he
said. "But freshman writers whoaren 't trained
to do this suddenly find themselves in a
strange c.ulture where they don't spcn the
language. In thia case the problem resides in
the 1lituation~ not with the wriler."
1lle tutoring experi~ for teachers in-

eludes practical steps to help students learn
too'llanizeandexpress their thoughts. There
is the preWrlting stage where the student
may draw a rrecdiagrarn with one theme and
other ideas bnlnching from it. the O!llanizational stage to arrange ideas logically . the
drafting stage, revision and finally. editing.
But are these steps too cumbe=me for
children? Collins says no.
'*This is a way to make writing less cumbersome," he explains. " A 7-year-old left
alone to write might wony too much about
spelling and not produce a compll:'tC' -.c:ntcnce
-beef~ he ~.an ·t spell one ot lhe word ~
con vcnt•unall) Ur words rrught be substi,. tuted. One student I had wroteaboutascientisl
who dug up dinosaur bones. He wrote 'sctentisl' because he couldn't spell paleontologist. We wouldn't have known thi s if we
hadn't been there work;ng with him."
ccording l~ .....ollms. misspell.;d words
may not be a sign of a problem writer
but of a student confronting a challenging
writing task. "lbeoonveotional teacher m1ght
look at spelling errors and think there is
something wrong with the writer. That he is
careless or lazy. But if you're there working
with the smdent, many times you find him
woll&lt;ing very hard and even pushing himself
to a new level of language he is not yet
familiar with," he said.
'lhal's why students and teachers work
togelher. The workshop approach empha·
sizes,doing rather than lheorizing."
Collins sees writers on every level as
struggling with similar problems. Disserta·

EGOTIATIONS ARE under
way to develop a .. master
agreemen~ " detailing !he precise role the University Will
play in the World Umversny
Gariles of July 1993.
In an interView Tuesday. University offiCialS emphasized that Lhe Games a:re not
being run by the University. but are !he
domain of !he Grea!tt Buffalo Athletic
Corporation
(GBAC). the corp&lt;&gt;ra~ body responsible
for all !he fiscal and
man agemen t deci sions for the Games.
While the Games
bring tB.ngible benefits to the University-most notably
construction of a new
stadium. media atten tion. and an int.emational conference on the scientific study of
span--measures must be Utken to en!ure
that lbe Games won'! unduly interfere with
University operations and prognuns. officials said.
··One of ot.rr major conceras is to minimize lbe Games' impact on regular ongoing
summer activities of the University."' said
Ronald H. Stein. UB vice president for uni -

vcrsity relations and the Game~ · vtce chairman for educaoon. medical and village components.
'' We 've been working for a year to idenufy those programs scheduled for the sum·
mer of'93; tdentify the Games· space requests
for that summer, and reconcile the two ln a
way !hat minimizes conflict." S~in said.
S~in acknowledged that "it will be impossible to have an event of this size on
campus without making alternative arnngemeots for some of lbe events thal would
lllltUBIIy occur on campus."
For his part. Senior Vice President for
University Services Robert Wagner said,
"The World University Games are being
presented by GBAC-not the University.
We are one of !be main venues and we're
also going to be lbe village for lbe athletes.
So therefore. what we need to be cognizAnt
of. is the fact thal decisions on services to be
provided and lbe way in which the Gomes
will be cond~ and expentea to be incurred. are really undertbcconttolofGBAC."
This agency. be said. must raise tbe operating dollars needed to conduct the pmes.

SUNY participation in the Games:
• Panicipatioo must be "compatible in
all respects with the educational mission and
fiscal requirements...
• Participation "is conditioned upon lbe
University receivins satisfactory reimbur=nent for all expenses directly anribut'
able to lbe Gaines."
• Full liability coverqe for the prot=tioo of the Uni~ty and Stare, must be
extended. "includios all officers and
employees ... in tbe_course ofibeir panicipa.
lion in the Games and relaled' activities."

S

-rbe University is working with OBAC
to determine what f8cilitiesand services will
be required by them, in om.. tocooduct the
Games. We're in discussion with GBAC on
requirements !bey will impose on lbe University to conduct lbe Games: space. services. e~e&lt;." Wagner said.

ince all parties "have an agreement in
principle to put on lbe Games." Wagner
does not foresee any thorny problems arising
in lbe negotiations. Tile SUNY TrusteeS. he
noted. bave spelled out the limitations of
University involvemenL
According to a resolution authorizing

"One ofow: major

concerns is to minimize tjJe

banks to insen with their monthly financial

What make s Legal Aid attractive for

Those worlcing &amp;I Legal Aid find it give$

rate at Legal Aid, many. but not all. of its

Foster said.
This paaem is not uncommon in the legal

HEN LINDA Y ALEM was raped and
murdered on the ~ bike palb last
September. the Univeniry's attention
became more inlellsely focused on the
issues of campus safety as well as the
issues concerning violence against women. Tbese efforts
continue. and UB ~ 1101 alone in its efforts to resOlve the
problems of violence on campus.
A federal law will soon be in effect beginning with the
academic school year 1993, requiring all colleges and univer·
sities 1o publish and disoibute information regarding campus
crimes and statistics 1o prospective students. In New Yort
State, all coUeges and universities wiD be mandated to publish and provide incoming and prospective students with sucb
information regarding campus crimes beginning in Sepcem·
ber of 1991.
In an effort 1o address the crimes and violence against
women on campus. State Senator Suzy Oppenbeimer orga·
nized a task force on women· s issues which will hold public
bearings at various colleges in New Y ort State, at the Rochester Institute of Technology. SUNY at Purchase. and UB.
The UB bearing will take place tomorrow at 10 a.m. at 280
Park Hall. Among the panicipants are Tracey Seelinger of the
Graduate Group for Feminist Studies. Lee Griffin, director of
public safety. and Pat Shelley of the Department of Women's
Studies.
"'The pwpose of the task force on women's issues is to
travel across the state 1o investigate and assess the current
situation of safety on campus. and how it relates to women,"
saidCiaudiafri~.legisl.ativeaideloSemOppenbeimer.
According 1o Friedetzky. the senator has received complaints from her constituents concerning safety on college
campuses. and hopes that the upcoming hearings will provide
ideas for possible legislation that would improve the situation
in New Yort State. ··we want 1o draw on the experiences of
public safety officer,;, student and local women's groups.

too." FriedeLZky noled ~
Friedetzky added that the scnalor feels that "prospectiv~
students and their parents have a right to know" about crime
nues on coUege campuses when in the process of choosing
schools.
Forums on campus safely have also been held at UB. The
University· wide Perronal Safety Committee held forums to
address safety concems of UB students. faculty and staff on •
Monday and Wednesday. The comminee includes represen·
tatives of Public Safety. the University Counseling Center.
Housing and Residence Life. the Undergraduate Student
Association.the Graduate Studenl Association, and a host of
o~ campus organizations. groups and associations.
""This is where memben; of the committee can review
issues on personal safety, and allow people to express their
fears and coocerns about personal safety on campus," said

Volcano erupts on Sheridan's schedule
Collm8...,...,

·IN Colima,
Mellico, !hal bas been eruptiDa a lava dome since March
I and experienced a severe
explosion on April 16 probot avalancbes and brusb tires. appears IOclosely follow computer predictions
about itS coune tbat were made by a VB
volcanologist.
It is the firsl time the course and magni·
tude of pyroelutic avalanches. hot. dense
v~ flows of ash and gas, have been
prtdicted befan: an eruption, according to
Michael Sheridan, professor and chair of !he
Geology Depanment at UB.
Sheridan bas been developing the com·
puter sr-pbics systems and probability
models since 1982 under a series of grants
from the Nalional Science Foundation.
"Tbe volcano is now at its most dangerous point,"be noted. "Wedon'tlmownowif
it will quiet down or if it will be even more
explosive than it bas been. It will play itself
out in tbe next mootb and this next week is
really criti&lt;:al ...
~ one scenario, the volcano could
split in balf, produciDg tremendous avalattthes. He aid. tbouah. !hal colle88Ues in
Mexico at the Nalional Univenity of Mexico
and lbe 1nstilute of Volcanology in Colima.
wbo have been monitoring the volcano. beLieve it -does not pose a threat to villages
within I S miles of the summiL
'"The m ode l &lt;, ...cem 10 h:t''f" pn·d lllt'd the

1lle explosion occurred at 2 p.m. Central
Time April 16. "Tbe dome that had been
building up on top of the volcano bad growo
to such a size, more than I 00 meters wide
· and 30 meters bigh that, as we had expected.
it became unstable and collapsed to the
southwest" said Sheridan.
According 10 aocounts of eyewilnesses.
tbele were two loud explosions that were
bean! as far away as 5 ltilomet.ers (about 3
miles) followed by avalanches of incandescent blocks of the dome and ash. Brush and
forest tires were also reponed on the north
side of the volcano.
"Tbe matetial was apparently hot enough
to set the u.es.on fire," be said.
1lle avalanche was reponed to have traveledas far as IOitilometers from the volcano.
approaching villages that Sheridan's models
predicted had a 60 percent probability of
being buried.

larger avalanches. accompanied by explosions, in the futun: .
"It is possible that these crncks mdicate
new dome growth," said Sheridan. "The
magma is still intruding the volcano and
might have enough force to crack the volcano in half. producing a huge avalanche ...

beridan noted thalli is possible that the
April 16 explosion signaled the stan of
the final phase of the curtail eruptive cycle
and that after the action ceases. the volcano
will now be quiet for 8DOiber 60-75 yean.
However. just before the April 16 explosion, the number of earthquakes at the volcano, which had dropped to about 20 per
day. sbot back up to 100 per day. llley have
now fallen back to # low level.
'1'his pulse of earthquakes could mean
that new magma is coming to the surface

several of which he wrote, which look at
select issues and themes in higher education.
The British historian Harold Perldn, for instance. wrote on the ''History of Universities." while SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce
Johnstone contributed an anicle entitled,
''The Costs of Higher Education."
~I felt that there were a number of key
topics in the field that were wonb elucidating; extended essays, putting together reJ..
evant literature and really giving a critical
analysis of some of them. and they're reflected in articles on university reform . ac countability, academic freedom and so on."
Althacb tried to find a balance between
those issues of lasting interest, such as aca demic freedom, and those of concern now.
such as aocountability or new universities.
In particular, be sought 10 include topics that
would be relevant through this decade.

H

e noted that a similar encyclopedia of
bigller edllcalion had awe-d in the
1960a. 1bat worX. however, had I 0 volumes, aDd was "much more extensive and
expensive."Though this set did contain topical essays, they were not as long as those
appearing in Allbacb's wort. As a work
more than 20 years old. it was outdated.
At the outset, AJU.Cbhad to decide wbicb
individuala to approach to write a particular
section of texL Since all of the contributors
had to be able to write in English, regardless
of their bed:ground. the pool of available
al11bon was immediately narrowed. he noted.
··For the country essays. I wanted to get as
many of them by people who live and work

in thecol\lltry they're writingaboutandthal
too, was quite a challenge."
Still, these obstacles were not difficult to
overcome, he added. "One gets networked.
and knows wbo's out there."
In addition, Altbacb had to select 52
countries for inclusion out of more than 130
countries worldwide. "We tried to pick
countrieS wbicb I thouglit were fairly large
Qgnificant in terms of higher educatioo
imd ones which I thought would be of interest to a broad international audience."
In fmding authors from various countries, Althacb gave each anthor a considerable amount of freedom to develop themes
and penpectives appropriate to that particular
nation and individual. llle underlying belief.
he said, was that the individual author would
be better aware of bis own c:oncems than an
outsider. He stressed that the goel was to
provide a reasonable analysis of bigber education, not just facts. wbich he ooted, are
available elsewhere.
Once the contributon were selected.
Althach spent three yeara editing and trying
to put together all of the incoming material.
He commented, "It was ltind of coordinating
an invisible college of scholars around the
world with similar interests. That was very
stimulating, interesting, and very difficult"
1lle result was what be felt to be a truly
international compendium of higher education. "Particular practices. institutioos. innovation in other countries cannot usually bt
directly appliedfromcountrytocountry. but
the ideas. the failures, the successes. the
ideologies can be useful in thinking about
your own problems. They may not be di rectly applicable to your own country. but
they broaden your perlipecli ve. That' s lh&lt;
whole theme .. "

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

to give lhe

University a long-term prognun for environmental progress. In the wake of increasing
national sensitivity to man 's effect on the natural environment, the task force, which
includes 38 members of the UB community, has been meeting since Octobe~ 1990, to
evaluate the University 's standing with regard to various environmental issues. 1be task
force was called for by fonner VB President Steven Sample after sev.eral Universj.ty
members wrote him a letter in December 1989 expressing their

concern about

.

The task force is made up of seven sulx:omrnittees, according to Ronald Nayler,
chainnan of the task force and assistant vice president for facilities planning and design.
Each subcommittee has investigated a specific area (such as transportation

RADUATE ASSISTANTS
teaching assistants and research
assistants from the Divis ion of
Arts and Leuers at UB staged a
wort stoppage Monday and Tuesday to protest what they believe is an overwhelming
burden being placed upon them by the State's
proposed budgeL According to a position
paper released by the group, "SUNY is re- •
sponding to this crisis by abandoning its
responsibility io higher education. and by
laying siege to the standard of living of its
lowest paid workers: graduate st udent employees."
About 75 stude nt protestors marched at

entrances to Clemens and Baird Halls on
Monday. "Only six classes have been taught
in thi s building of the 80 or 100 that were
sc heduled for today:· said a protestor.
The specific problems that the graduate
employees would like to see addressed are
the proposed cuts in GAffA/RA stipends.
the proposed elimination of a numberofGN
T A/RA positions. the lack of provision of
tuition waivers to cover the cost of the proposed tuition inqease. the lack of job desc ript ion s a vailable for as s is tantship

positions. the inability of graduate students
to become unionized and \he "trivial" em·
ployment status placed upon them by the
SUNY system. according to a published
platform statemenL ·
The State is not prioritizing the health and
welfare of public higher education, according to Anna Geronimo, press officer for the
GA/fA/RA's of the Division of Arts and
Leuers. "The things we're asking for require
reprioritizing all of the graduate prognuns,"
she said.
'This is not about graduate students asking for more or to be shielded from budget
cuts. But we 're the least protected of all State
employees, and usually the grouptbatdoesn 't
carry any lobbying power are the people that
are hun the mosL"
Even though funded graduate students

often sign a four- or five-year contract to
assure funding when entering a graduate

mese

program. Geronimo said that
contracts
are not being honored with regard to tuition
waivers ... We've already received a lener
from the Associate Dean of Arts and Leuers
(dated Feb. 6, 1991) saying that there is no

provision for an increase in the tuition
scholarship budget to offset the projected
$800 tuition increase." she explained.

'11tat.means the State isn 'Leven ulcing
for an increase. But graduate studeDis teach
40 percent of the courses Offered tbrou&amp;boot

STADIUM
Continued from page 1
the stadium is being built with moni es un related to the University or SUNY budgets.
'1llis is a capital project. not a Sta.teopernting
budget item. nor is it a venture like The
Commons . which is being done with private
monies ... said Roben J. Wagner, senior vi~e
president for university services.
"In this case. we have a capital project in
which the Sl1lte of New Yorl&lt; is providing
direct debt service to the Dormitory Authority. which is the authority authorized by
the State to sell bonds for this particular
capital projecL"
Moniesdesigruued for the s13!1ium project
therefore cannot be used for any other purpose, including providing funds to help solve
the c:unent budget crisis, Wagner continued.
Nor will the stadium project in any way
interfere with other campus capital construction projects, such as the Fine Arts
Center, Student Activities Center addition.
NaturaiSciencesandMathematicsComplex.
and die planned new School of Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences building. or capital
projects elsewhere in SUNY. for that mauer.
He added: 'There wiU not be a dollar of
student tuition money ~tilized to provide the
debt service needs of the stadium."
The governor's bill authorizes the Dormitoty Authority to finance. through the sale
of taX exempt bonds, the design and construction of the facility. It also conutins
monies needed for repair of Rotary Field on

the South Campus, where the University' s
football program will ,be temporarily relocated.
After the Games. the stadium will serve
as a facility for amateur track and field
events and the University' s football program
Vice President for University Relations
Ronald H. Stein. who is the Games' vice
chairman for education, medical and village
components, said the stadium is being built
because of "a commitment made by the
governor to the Greater Buffalo Athletic
Co1p0ration (GBAC). the corporate body
resportsiblc for the 1993 summer Garnes in
Buffalo.
'They are now negotiating with the
Dormitoty Authority to build the facility. •
That facility is being built by the choice of all
concerned-the governor, the Legislature.
GBAC--&lt;&gt;n our campus. They could have
built it somewhere else. But it !JU!de a lot of
sense for a lot of reasons, particularly in
terms of post-Games use. "' build it here ...
ight now , Wagner said, the University
is wor!Ung closely with the GBAC to
"balance the needs of a one-time use for the
World University Game s. which have spme
very specific requirements, and the longerterm uses of the faci lity, largely by ille University.
"We clearly intend for community use .

ATA FROM A survey of
geologic fonnations in New
Yorlc Statemayhelpshedlighl
on the mysteries of the surface

of Mars, according to a

graduate student in the Department of Geology at UB .
By studying eskers. sinuous ridges of
gravel and sand left behind by melting glaciers, Stephen Metzger is trying to establish
"' soiDe ground rules" about where and how

eskers occur.
That information. he adds, could help
detennine whelhe.r or not Mars has eskers
and. therefore. evidence of ancient ice ages.
Metzger discussed his wo1&lt; March 15 in
a ~tation ala meeting.dt the Geological
Society of America in Baltimore. His project
is entiU,ed " A Survey of Esker Morphomeuies. the Connection to Ncu Ynrt.. &lt;;tat e
Glaciation and Critena tor Subglactal Mr"l l·
WaterOutnnel Deposits on the Planet Mars.··
According to Metzger. some researchers
believe that eskers also exist on Mars. based
oo Viking_ spacecraft photographs laken of
lhe.red planeL
"Eskers are good indicators of glaciation."
he said. "But the tdea that then: was glacial
activity on Mars is in conflict with the reaJ.i[y
of its very thin atmosphere."
Fieldworlc on a large number of eskers in
geologically diverse areas of New Yor1c State
has led Metzger to establish relationships
between the locations of eskers and other
land forms.
" Now we can look at suspected eskers on

Eanh," said Metzger.
He explained that atmospheric physicists
have long held that teneSirial-style glaciation
probably could not have occurred on Mars,
in pan because it has a thin atmoSphere in
which water rapidly converts directly to
vapor.
" If the ridges spotted by researchers who
looked at the Viking photographs are actu-

Video tools aid research in ceramics

HROUGH A UNIQUE combination of supercomputing. animation
and video recording. chemical engineers at the University have found
a way 10 probe the sect'elS of combustion
reactions that lead to production of ceramic
materials.
Described in Cuamk Bull~tin . the approach has allowed the researchers to develop the most complete picture so far of
combustion synthesis ofinorgank materials
(CSIM). the rapid chemical reactions that
produce ult.ra-srrong ceramics from metal
powders for use in automotive engines.
cutting tool s and aerospace applications.
The work includes the development of
new modeling software. which the researchers plan to eventually develop into a comprehensive package for use in industrial settings.
It is being done in the UB Laboratory for
Ceramic and Reaction Engineering. one of
the few univer.oity labs in the nation where
ceramic materials are manufactured on the
pilot-plant scaJe .
Ceram1c powders suitable for the manu·
facture of high-temperature ceramic parts
arc prepared from thin layers of loose: metaJ

powders that are converted \O cera.rilic pow ~
ders when placed in a high-pressure reactor
and ignited. Since the quality of the endproduct depends on the precise uniformity of
the powders.the UB researchers are trying to
undersland what happens when the system
ignites and Converts the metal particles into
a ceramic powder.
"In the pas~ detailed modeling studies
were abandoned mainly because of the lack
of. or high cost of. the computer resources
needed," said Vladimir Hlavacek, UB professor of chemical engineering and director
of the Jab. "With their high speed and large
memory capacity. supercomputers are enabling us for the first time to accurately
model these chemical reactions."
Combustion reactions. which researchers use ro synthesize: powders of high-performance ceramics. are difficult to study
because they happen in no more than a few
seconds.
By videotaping the process using a highspeed video camera, researchers are able to
play back the reactionf slowing it down to
study isolated moments of events of particular interest frame by frame.
But the films only show what is happenmg on the surface, explained Hemant

Dandekar, doctoral candidale in chemical
&gt;engineering and TesC~tCherin the UB ceramics lab. They do not reveal wllll: is"ocx:unlng
inside the ceramic powder lajers as they
undergo the combuStion reaction.
o do that. equations cooceming variables such as temper11Ure, pressure and
density must be sol~ed ataeveral lbousand

If such measunments'W&lt;I'Cm8de"m realtime. they would ~lin liaerally miltioos

Higher education can take

T

HE STATE University of New
Yorl&lt;. with just over 400.000
full- and pan-time students on
its 64 campuses. has been
called tbe nation's "largest
university system." The City Uoivenity of
New York, with its 200,000 full- and pantime students in 18 campuses. has been
called the nation's third largest.
It would seem not unreasonable. therefore, 10 conclude that New Yorl&lt; State has
made a very substantial commitment to
public higher education.
New York has made a good effon to
catch up with the rest of the nation, being
the last state 10 begin a public univers(ty,
in 1948. SUNY is a wonderful system 'In
its diversity of programs, respbnsiveness
.to state and community needs, superb
undergnlduate offerings and increasingly
excellent graduate mldies ind research.
CUNY, too, is a public higber education
jewel, combining a long history of academic excellence with a profound commitment 10 opportunity and access in tbe
nation 's largest urban complex.
But these two public systems together

• SUNY and CUNY look large relative
to California State University (that state's
19-&lt;:ampus four-year college system,
ranked second in size, behind SUNY) and
the University of Califontia (its Hi--campus
research university system, founh in size,
behind CUNY). only because SUNY and
CUNY inclUde community college enroll:
ments-244,000 or 42 percent of the total-whereas neither C81ifontia system
does.
California has.more than one million
community college studenll in some 107
loosely affiliated districts. If we were to
compare apples with apples and count
them all, California's public higber cc}uca·
lion sector would dwarf that of any other
state, and New Yorl&lt; 'swould be a distant
third, surpassed even by Texas by nearly

Yorl&lt;'s college and university students is ·
in either SUNY or CUNY. Tagelber these
public systems educate about 58 percent of
all New York college and university students. Only five states educate a smaller
percentage of students in their public systems.
• In keeping with the very modest size
of New York's public higher educatioil
sector relative 10 the state's population, the
per capita expenditure for SUNY and
CUNY combined is smaller than the-com·
pan~ble measure in all but seven states.
The share of state and local taX rev~ues
going 10 public higher education is less
than in all but five states.
• The relative richness or leanness of
SUNY and CUNY. of course. is indicated
not by expenditure per state residen~ but
per student or faculty member. Measured
thus, we flnd SUNY at or below the appro. 'priate national means. By our best measure
of resource inpu~ the number of faculty
and staff, SUNY is a little larger than it
was in the mid-1980s. reflectin&amp;enroll·

Sheridan's interest in birds began
a few yeaJS ago when his wife gave
him two lovebirds for Valentine's
Day&gt; "She also gave me a book
about raising birds." he recalls. "II
mentloned that one might be inkr ~
ested in breeding lhcm. So 1 put a
linJe nest box in for the birds to
mate. and soon enough we had a few

baby birds. I took them and fed
them. because. that way. they bond
more with 1.be person than with the...
other birds. lhey make such ni ce
pets."
Eventually. Sheridan 's lovebird

Sheridan is also interesiOd in
breeding birds that arc difficult to
find and/or are endangered by
poachers and by expanding human

Sheridan says. "Many hooked -bi ll s.

Sheridan. T o bring an exotic bird

into the United States. one must bave

as well as permission from that

isolate it for a month and test it for
various diseases." Sheridanexplains.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

When you have a damp, stiU day, a lot of

URING THIS WEEK'S observances of the "Week of the Young
Child.'' UB 's Early Childhood
Research Center ts pan.icipatmg

in this nationaJ event to draw public aware+
ness to quaJity programs that ex tsl for very

young children.
The Early Childhood Research Center
(ECRC) is a faci~ty with much to offer not only to the children who anend. but w
parents. professiOnals. and the communiry.
James L HooL director of the ECRC.
says it's impon.ant to ..deal with the mtei JecruaJ life of the child." but he aJ so wants
thecenterto be utilized by as many people ao;;

possible. ··we ' re here to be observed or used
for research projects - we want to be the
best-used facility on campus.··
Located in Baldy Hall. the center tS operated by the Department of Learntng and
Instruction, and offe~ graduate degrees in
early childhood education. The baste premtsc
of ECRC is quality child care m an educationaJ sening . As n is a laboratory center.
ECRC is also a site for child-related research_
The program conststs of 80 students. I0
of whom are developmentally delayed. Day
and afternoon programs an: offered to chi ldren from rwo to five years of age. providing
rich resources and carefully planned learning and play activities_
f
Endowed by Fisher-Price, the center is
one of only three: facilities 10 Western New
) u r~ lu tx ""-l..rcdllcd b)' the National Association for the Education of Young Olildren, distinguishing it as a facility of the
JUghest Standards of practi"' for maximal
growth and development of children.
The ECRC program is heing used as a
model of early childhood programming internationally. Hoot recently returned from
the Bahamas where he met with the Minister·
of Education, Dr. Bernard Nonage, and offered suggestions for improving the child
care system .

R

efening to the current financial crisis m
New Yor1t State, Hoot e.plained that
it's wise to "take a look at what you can do
with what you've goL" One aspect that the
Early Childhood Research Center is especially proud of is ill; Friday moetings during
which the staff di..:usses each child and his
or ber progress, as well u new ideas. Tamar
Meyer, assistan t dtrecto; of the center, says
.. it alJows. them to be reflective" and energizes them for the stan of each new week.
Hoot also feels that there is great potential
m the pr~ that ~ curTently being
considered for implementation.
One possibility is a program designed lO
provide a positive aunosphere: for super vised visitation, which allows supervised
interaction between an abusive parent and
his or her chi ld. Hoot believes that lmph~­
menting the program at ECRC would be a
great success. He feels 11' s impon.ant for the
parent and child 10 interact in several ways
- not just engage in act.Jvi tiessuch as playing
cards. ··we can work with the abusive parent. help them w1th parenting skills:· he said
Another program that Hoot hopes will be
explored is a minoriry scholarship. "Four
hundred and fifty dollar,; would fund a mi norit y c hild for a semester:· he said . He
encountges student groups and other organ1 ·
zations to consider this as a service event
Although a mulu~thnic group of stu ·
dents attends ECRC. Hoot feels Lhere ~~ a
need I? target minority students . He is eJ. ploring the possibi lity of fomung an ECR C
West Facility. a satell ite school in the c ity. 1n
conjunction with the Buffalo Public Schools.

11J- WUETCIID
New.; Bureau Staff

A

UB SCIENTIST studying
how b1rds regenerate their
hearing hopes that an understanding of this phenomenon
will help researchers apply the
same or similar techniques to humans who
have pennanently lost their hearing.
'Ochard Salvi. professor in the Depanment of Communicative Disorders and Sciences and dLrector of the Hearing Research
Laboratory a.l th e University. has been
srudying how regenerated sensory cells in
the cochlea, or sensory organ, of chickens
and paralteelS reslOre the birds ' he¥ing. Do
the cells reconnect to neurons that bring
sound infonnarion into the birds' brains?
And if these cells are "rewired." do they

respond to sound in the nonnal way , and are
the messages that are sent to the brain similar
to !hose in animals with normal hearing1

Salvi says preliminary data suggest that
the regenerated sensory cells do reconnect to

the neurons, but there may be some deficit&lt;
in the neurons' perfonnances and ca pahih
ties.
ScientislS have discovered during the past
few yean !hat binls and amphibians that
experience bearing loss due to excessive
noise or certain antibiotic drugs can regenerate the se!ISOI'}' cells in the cochlea_'There is
SJQl interest in this in the rese.an:h and
scientific community. SaJvi notes, because
this kind of regeneration does not occur in
manuntls. Once a mammal 's sensory cells
are destroyed, it goes deaf permanently.
Eri Hashin o. a profe ss or at Tokyo
Ouistian Women 's Un1vers1ty who has been
working wilh Salv i. has injected adult
parakeets
with
Kanamycin.
an
aminoglycoside antibiotic whose side effects in human s include hearing Joss. The
birds' sensory cells were completely destroyed after they received the drug , and they
experienced total hearing Joss.
Bw the birds· sensory cells began to
regeDetate as soon as one day after reco;ivillg
~drug, mel the cells were almost lotally
'regenerated 28 days after drug treatmenL
The regenerated cells differ in appearance from normal cells in that their surfaces
are not of unifonn shape. and tllecilia bundles
in the ce ll s are not aJI facing in the same
direction

H

ashino has tested parakeets ' hearing up
to ~0 da ys after drug injection, and
-found there is paniaJ recovery of hearing
once the sensory ce ll s grow back.. Hearing
seems to stabiliz.e after about 1.') days. with

injections to de termine whe n th ey heard a

Sensory cells arc designed to hear sounds
at different frequencieS. Salvi expla1ns. Wi th

FSEC discusses faculty use
---of
., 'detached seiVice'
Aepoll8&lt; Staff

.

ETACHEDSERVICE""wason
the agenda of last week's Fac·
uJty Senate Executive Commit·

te e session . Two motion s

cona:rned with possible improper usage by
some retiring facuity members of that certain
form of sa~ticalleave were considered by
the FSEC.
The first motion. presented by SUNY
Senator John Boot. dema(lds information
about the nwnber of ..detached servict''' re·
timnents that have been granted for each
year since the practice was fltSI used. Also.
Bool's motion ~s for mfonnation ''about

the number of cases currently in the negotiations stage; and about the administration· s
tntentions in continumg to use this con·
struction in the future ."'
The second motion. presented by Anthony

RalstOn. professor of computer science, was
similar to Boo!"s. adding only that the FSEC
should also be infonned about the nature of
the ..detached servitt'' assignments that were
granted.
Boot contended that "detached service"
is "iU--&lt;Icftned"' and seema similarto "terminal
l!abbalical." a practice that allowed retiring
faculty to take off from their last year of
service and still receive full payment. This
practice was criticiud by Stllte Comptroller
Ned Regan in 1985 and soon banned by a
sabbatical policy n:vis1on written by the
Faculty Senate's Tenure and Privileges
Committee. according to Boot. .. Detached
service."' however. is .. the same bea..'it with a
d1fferem name," Boot said.

1bis is mischief with a capitaJ · M' !'' he
added... We are either in compliance with
Ned Regan's guidelines or it is an empty
show. a no-show job. I want to know how
ohm it happens ...
Ralston feels that looking into the issue is
important. given the context of New Yort 's

budget crisis. Regan 's renewed pressure on
the SUNY system to revise faculty accountability policies, andcenain sandals of other
univezsities misappropriating fedr:nll funds.
11!is university does n01 fall into the same
traps of maleficence with taxpayers" money
as places like Stanford have," he sai&lt;C"lbaa
'detacbed service· might be a frequently-and
unethically occwring thing could undenniiJi;
the tax!"'¥en' trust in UB and the SUNY
system at large."
The FSEC ftrst considered Ralston •s
motion to discuss the practicality of determining specific ca.ses in which "delacbcd
service" was granted. Ralstoo explained that
this second pan of his proposal ~asl&lt;s the
adminiSiralion to summarizie in what cases
these proposala for 'detacbed service: lrise.
Will'9'll that, You&lt;:an 't undl:nllnd whal the
other statistics mean. "
· ·
icoias Gooilinan of Malbcmatio;ll con-.
sidered the~ pan of RalSIOD'S
to be pocentially damaging to the
faculty's sense of indepc:adence. :"The last
thing we want is a group of foculty, with !hal
inquisitorial tone, to looht-othen • research
proposals
tbtin say; 'Ob ""• ihll is not

they are given for would lead to misleading

Nonetheless. the second pan of Ralston ·s

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

construction to finish the field house would

Warfel considers the
ECC pool a "demon stration of the legacy
that this kind of event
will have on the Buffalo
community."
The Stale Legislarure
will soon be consider·
ing two bills for funding
of both projects. ac cording to Th&lt; N.ws. Both bills propose
having lhe State Bond Authority authorize

Buffalo stands to benefit from hosting the
World University Games . Stein believes.

··There Will be a facilities legacy to the

knew their negotiating team was not intent

during a phone inttrView. '1lle scenario set

by ~ state wa..o;; and has been to go 10
1mpasse all along:·
Massaroni is adamant that the stale neg o uating teams have worked hard toward sel·
tlmg each of the concract.o;; m question from
the OUL\e-:1 of negouarion.s.
-~nus office has !.he responsibility to oego uate contracto;. for the governor with the

··impa.o;;se 1sjus1 no1lha1unLL'i Ua l for any kind
or negotiation ~ . The bon om hoe is that these
negotiations can' t oct·ur m isolation of the
fisca l reality that New York finds itself in."
Sources from each of the three union s
said that the major stumbling block in !he
negotiations w date concerns increment and
longevity dues. The payment constitutes an
added sum of mo ney paid to an employee
abo¥e and beyond his or her normal salary
mcreast: for a gaven year .
l .ongev uy payments are essentially the
~ as increments but an: paid after an
employee has worked for the swe for I 0, 15
or 20 yean. The unions claim that the state
wants to eliminate these payments from future contracts. "1"'hey're ripping the guts out
of our contract, .. said Kreger (Council 82 ).
'"The first hurdle we must get past is making
sure we get longevity and increments....
Lou Rossi , unit chairman for !be&gt; 'UB
co ntingent of Local 1792, said recently that
the state was not being fair about pgyment of
previously promised increments. 1be pay ments were due April I. but they ' re not
g1vi ng them to us until a new contract is
Signed," h&lt; said. "So they ' re holding our
money host.age l! 's costing us all monl"y .'"

tryi ng to back the union into an unnegotiable
corner .. [f we had agreed to no pay raise. no

incentives, they would have ta.lk.ed to us.''
ad.anlsz is not only concerned about
fut= increment and longeyity pay·
ments. but with the ones that came due April
1. a day after the present contract ran ouL
" Our interpretation of tile law is that if we
don ' t have a new agreement by April I. !he
current contract stays in effect." he said.
"We would take the position that the upcom mg increments should be payable."
Although Massaroni would not refute the
umons · claim that increment.., are payable
under the present agreement with the state,
she poinled out that each of the three contracts
IS co mposed with different langu age .
Therefore. each contract would be interpreled
differently by !he state . ''The state 's obliga uon to pay increments ts subject to the in LeT'pT'et.ation of the contract' s language and
th&lt; legal obligau on that language calls for :·
However , Massaroni would go no further .
She explained tha t the state's policy of ne gotiauon would remain consistent. ..We

June 30. the timetab le for a sett..lement IS
quite: different from that of the other unions .
UUP President Jo hn Reilly said that the
meetings are in the early suoges. " In the early
meetings, both parties ut eacb ocber questions. 1ben we go tltrouglt a process called
justification, which is when eacb side explains
!he reasoning bebind what they're asking for
at the bargaining table," be said. " It' s going
very quickly up to this point."
Reilly pointed out that if UUP is at an
impasse with !he state, the procedure is differenl from that followed by the ocber three
unions. " In our case, there is no possibility of
mvolving !he legislature," be said. " It can go
to mediation and fact -finding . But if tlut
doesn ' t work.. we go back to the table ." r·

Tile key to higher retention rates lies in
positive experiences during the ftrst two
months of the !ypical freohman '&lt; career at
UB. Palmer said. 1be first six to seven
weeks is tbe most critical time for retention.
We've cenrunly done a number of things to
help make the student adjust. "TIIeSeplember
Welcome activities. among others, help make
the Unive!'lii ty more immediately appealing
l O entering students. he said.
Although the Division of Student Affairs
1s concerned with student retention. it was
not established with the specific goal of
improving ltle University 's track record in
thi s area. "h's not a coordinated plan as
such ."
Palmer acknowledged. moreover, the
limits to what any organization, either co-ordinated or uncoordinated. can do. Instead.
what fr&lt;quently dejjmnines whether a partic ular student will stay, is his orberpatticular
"fit " with the institution. "Stu&lt;lcpl$1#&lt;1 !O
be able to find their niche, so to speak."
In addition, financial reasons compel
many students to leave UB, although Ibis
situation exists at most institutions, Palmer
stated.
According to the study described in the
Chronicle of HiRh&lt;r Education, minority
students were at special risk. After six years,
the article stated. only 24 pen:ent of block
students and 20pen:ent of Hispanic students
had earned a degree. Similarly, 63 percent of
the black students and 54 percent of the
Hispanic students looked at by the study
dropped out "for good" within six yean.
At UB. the retention rates for minority
students appear to be signifteantly higher
than the national figures. Though little data
is available for minorily students as a whole
at UB, the trends in"retention for students in
the Educational OpportunitY Progtam have
followed similar plllm!S'lo'tbat of tbe Uniof flnlversity as a whole.

TILL WEARING AN eye
patch to stave off double vi·
sion, a Savannah. Ga. police
officer !banked God and " the
doctors in Buffalo" for saving
he was shot in the head pursuing
a shooting suspect in early March.
G . Slall F=man. 28. told reponer.~ at a
news conference held at Millard Fillmore
• Hospital March 21 that he and his partner.
were investigating repons of domestic vi~
lc:nce at a Savannah housing project when
the shooting occurred.
Fifteen days after that shooung. Freeman
was airlifted to Buffalo and underwent an
experimentaJ procedure in which .. microballoons·· were placed in his internal carotid
anery to keep him from bleedtng to death.
The procedure. performed by L. Nelson
Hopkins, M.D .. chair of the Department of
Neurosurgery and chief of neurosurgery at
Millard, is only performed at about a dozen
sites throughout the country. Hopkins and
his team used a micro-catheter to place the
silicone micro-balloom to pemw&gt;ently block
a bullet-damaged section of F=man 's left
carotid anery that ultimately would have
triggered 1 life-threatening hemorrhage.
"!be bullet ton: open the left carotid
anery, ooe of the major blood vessels that
feed the brain, and penetrated the upper pat1
of the nasal cavity. where it came to rest.''
Hopkins said. "It thus created a path for
blood to escape out of his nose and throav He
lost a gn:at deal of blood when it first happened and received several transfusions.··

Hopkins explained. "the clot will di sso lve
and the anery would again hegin hemor·

would have bled to death.·
1be pseudoaneurysm was "all that was
protecting him from bleeding our through
his nose. As the clot dissolved he was at very
high risk for a recurrent bleed. .. Hopkins
said.
One of F=man's Georgia phySicians
recalled that neurosurgeons at the UB medical
school were using ballooo catheten to pre·
vent and treat stroke. which results from
hemorrhaging or blockage of blood vessels
in the brain . The techn ique . called
eodovascular surgery, is an offshoot of
coronary angioplasty. in which balloon
catheters are used to open narrowed lll1enes
in the bean.

the fmer. more delicate vessels in the brain .

fter seeing Freeman "s X-ray s. Hopkins
agreed to use the new technique to
block the flow of blood at the Site of the
pseudoaneurysm.
.. Years ago," he saad. "the best we could
do for someone like lhis was to open the neck
surgically, find the carotid anery and ue It
off. llten we would have to do a craniotomy.
enteri ng his skull surgically . and find the
artery just above the gunshot wound and ue
that off. too.
'that means wt would have had to per
form two major surg1cal procedures w1th no
guarantee of sucxes.s."

T

surveys. We are cenam the
resu lt of these surveys will be
of interest to our co lleagues.
This information can affect the quality of
hfc for all our faculry. staff and admims·
r.ration members.
ln the fi~t survey . coordmated by
Karen Noonan , peer institutions were sent
a Jetter which inquired about the Faculty

survey was sent in November, 1990 to 53
AAU -member schools. By Jan . 25. 1'191.
29 of the schools responded . Tile rep lie.•
a.re very encouraging. and man y clubs
have sent a great deal of information about
their services.
We have leamc:d from th •s process that
there is an international association of
faculty clubs, with over I 00 members. The
University of Virginia. a member of the
Association. has also recently completed a
survey of the association members and
repons that 45 percent serve breal&lt;fast. 97
percent serve lunch and 85 percent serve
di nner.
Many clu bs have m addition. recepLJons. d ance~. banquets and/or Lailgate

A substantiaJ percent..age of the clubs

Some faculty clubs also have e ndow ments accord ing to a survey done by the
Universit y of M.innesota. W e have the
assembled materials and would be happy
to offer lhem to any interested members of
the Umversity community. On the basis of
thi s survey. a di si nterested observer might

(3 7-yes; 126--no). Tile issue of having a

Use of the Main Street Campus facility
in Goodyear I 0 was assessed In addition.
an anempt was made to assess what preferences would exist if a facility becomes
available 011 the hmhem Campus. The
primary usage would probably be for
lunch. Respondents indicated the following preferences: cin:ular tables (54); waitress/waiter service (53); reservation
availability (43); cafeteri" service (34);
and t~CCCS&lt;ible for brown-bag lunch (39).
1bere was a strong desine for an associated neading/coffee room (67) and/or
meeting room (64). but relatively little
desine for the can! room ( 12).
We believe that there are many intellectual advantiges to having a dedicated
meeting and eating space. Our present
faculty/staff arrangements are not even
equal to those of a com muter communi()'
college. Many faculty member.; bum&gt;w

Funhennore. a faculty-staff member on
the "new campus" who is willing to meel
and converse with others does not even
know where to go to find colleagues. because they could be d isper.ied over a1 least
eight possible eating places.
When colleagues do eat together , it 's
usually only by arrangement. by previous

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Such were the observations of best-sellin g Chilean author Isabel Allende, who delivered the lien ton Lecture to a packed Slee

Allende discussed the an of storytelling
and the ro le Latin American writers play in
thei r sociery. relating these themes to her
own personal experiences. Her persistent
sense of humor charmed the audience and
offset the tragic elements within her commentary on Latin American hi story.

"Two cultures collided" when European

for the greatest genocide in history," Allende
said. " Millions died for gold. Their lives
were shon. Meanwhile. people kept coming
to Latin America from different parts of the
world. Black slaves, Spanish adventurers.

Finally, as the cour&gt;e is shaped by the

mechanisms for evaluation of student (and

The University does not sell or rent its

the University is authorized to sell our direc tory." he notes.
According to Speller. third-class mail.
especially of the type delivered to large
organizations such as UB. represents big
profits for the U.S. Postal Service.
"We ' re a major station. They bring it to us
in those bundles just like we're a local station." leaving it up to the Campus Mail staff
to son and distribute it. he explained.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

change dramatically.
After 21kJdd years at the University,
Goodman feels be has "a pretty good ide&amp;" ·
about how UB works. He became involved
with the Faculty Senate early on in his career,
serving on various senate committees, including Admissions. and is in his third year
asamemberoftheFSEC. Add 10thatlisthis

as

Mathematics Depamnent.
Goodman believes the role of the senate
chair is to make the diverse layers of Uni versity government work together to ward a
~"P.::I!'i!~----------'""'--

"A certain balancing has
to be done. The chair must
.be vigorous buJ not so
confrontational as to
produce a deadlock.''

levels of running the University," Goodman
says. " The chainnaA sees a great deal of
what 's going on. He's Ill&lt; ex-&lt;&gt;fflcio. Various committees invite bim 10 !telp them with
their problems, and communicate the problems of other committees. So. essentially.
his job is bridging the government structure...
Pan of this role, Goodman feels, is 10 ac1
as a liaison between the faculty and the
administration. 10 maintain a diilogue between them. He wants to be neither appeasing
nor confrontational. .. A certain balancing
has to be done:· Goodman conte nds. 'The
chair must be vigorous, but not so confrontatioruil as to produce a deadlock . The administration has to be reminded that the
faculty have prerogatives. I have opposed
the administration on more than a few issues.
such as the whole bus fee move."
To encourage this dialogue. Goodman
plans to carry on the prac1ice of inviting the
president10 full senate and FSEC meetings.
.. But it will not be an open invitation," he
adds. ··You. want to have communication
between the 1wo. ye1 there is a tendency for
these meetings to becom~ show-and-tell
f;,.tbe presidenL You can' t really tell him to
' shut up,' but some allowances should be
made for the senate to get its work done .··
GoQdJnan expects that his style of leadership will be rather aggressive and directed.
Balancing the duties and activities of the
senate and the FSEC will be an important
part of his two-year term as chairman.
"I think there is a tendeocy of the senate
10 waste a lot of time," Goodman observes.
"In this period o{ tnnsition between presi dents, meetings are becoming too relaxed.
and little is getting done. I'm going to try to
give them meatier agendas , so that the
meetings will be more efficient and less
cetem011ial. And so that there will be a sense
of something being accomplished."

HE PROPOSED BUDGET cuts
and ruition incn:ase being imposed

upon the SUNY system because of
the Stare's financial crisis·are unavoidable, according to State Senator John
B. Sheffer II and State Assemblyman William B. Hoyt. Both men spoke to a group of
about 40 people last Thwmay in an Undergraduate College colloquium entitled "The
Future of Highcr Education in New York
State."lbe forum was held in the Talhen
Hall Senate Olamhers.
Sheffer. who rqnsents the 60th district
in the State legislature, is serving his second
term as a' state Senator. He also serves on a
senate committee that addresses aspects of
the higher education syslem in New York.
Hoyt rqnsertts !be-l 44th district as a State
Assemblyman and is in his ninth tenn of
OffiCe.

What differentiates this year's budget
from those of the pas~ according to Sheffer,
is that lhe proposed cuts are unavoidable.
·There will be no last-minute revenue packages to save SUNY agencies from penonal
~uctions and additio.W expenditw-es. "In
other words. you can do shifts (offunds). but
not ~tend that there's any pooJ of money
out there todoanythingotherlhan shifts," he
said. "It's bloody tough. 1be charge we've
been given is to solve those problems however we want. but within the same dollar
fiamework that's there right now (in the
Governor's budget proposal),"
•
Both agreed that the budget situation.
with regard to the SUNY system. is a hot

'

topic among lhe Albany legislaton. "Prom
an Albany perspective, SUNY is very much
on people's minds," said Hoyt "But you
can'tmakelheaisisgoawa)'. You've got to
accep1 it .We're in a national recession.
Two-thirds of the swcs are going diioogjl ·
valious degT&lt;:es of what New York is expe-

riencing." -~J,tbink it's absolutely true," expWned
Sheffer, "thatattbismomentand forlbencxt

opportUnities in the trade. Auncted by the

Vandalism, Zimpfer observes. is not as

frequent nor widespread as he saw it ten

years ago, although the EUicon Complex
• sriU ~the most damage. "No matter
how maoy people we have over there
cbeekiog things out. vandalism can' t be
IIIOititomllbcre," he says. ''Occasionally
we get a stall dOor ripped off its hinges, or

trade lban k was Wbcn 1started out."
Zimpfer says. "I just wod&lt;ed from the
boa.om -up, aod I've been a foreman bere
for six yean. Most contnctors are fortified
by unioo help.~ ·
Zimpfer advises anyone interested in
carpentry as a profession 10 get into an
apprenticeship program in a union or go to
Erie Community CoUege. "Get a good
builder's background, learn mechanical
drawing and how 10 read blueprints, and as
much as you can of anything else related
to the trade," he says.
Carpentry is self-satisfying for Zimpfer
because of the sense of accomplishment he
feels once a job is done. " If I build porch
steps for a house, after all the work is
through. I can see the finished product." he
explains. "A few years later, if I pass by
that house again , those steps will most
likely still be there. It's a very rewarding
profession."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

activities without which human relation ships are diminished and the quality of life
reduced." The Principles provide a frame wort. to guide the implel3lf!nlation of such
an integntted core at UB.
UB 's Principles emerged out of hundreds of hours of discussions in the Curriculum Committee and the General
Assembly of the College and in numerous
subcommittees. Althoush by disciplinary
training I habitually avoid such idealistic
abstraction in favor of empiricism and
pragmatism. I view the Principles as an
effon not to loft our discussions heaven ward but1nstead to ground difficult curricular choices by making explicit the
val ues and assumptions that were be ing
implied. assumed, and expressed by the
Senior Members of the College.

SSUES ARISING from the proposed
Undergraduate College curriculum.
which the UGC hopes to implement
during the coming fall semester, were
fOie!OOSton the minds of Faculty Senate
Executive Commiu.ee members at two meetings on Feb. 20 and 27.
At the Feb. 20 meeting, Professor of
English Myles Slatin, rep&lt;eSCnting the Faculty Senate Admissions and Retentioo O!m-

mittee . summarized the commiuee's
recommendations regarding admissions criteria for UB under the new UGC structure.
Slatin also expressed the AAR committee 's
concern for notifying applicants and their
high schools of what ltind of educational
background the UGC will require.
Criteria of admission to the University
and UGC's expectarions on educational background
should be differentiated. he said . "We
do not propose to

according to latin. To help these students
catch up. the University has numerous tutoring and developmental programs.
Coincldentaljy, Slatin noted. the minority make-up of the current freshman class is
also 20 percent " What this tells me is that a
significant portion of the minority student
bodyw~notproperlypreparedbytheirhigh

schools for the p&lt;eSCDt and ~ proposed
curriculi," Slatin said. "We do not want to
• alienate or 01&lt;clude this particullir group of
students, because they are part of what 1liis
University is bere for."
With these considerations in mind, the
A&amp;R cormnittee revised the original Slate·
ment of expectations '"to reflect our historical experience. to soften it. 10 say that these
expectations are not admissions requirements, and that we are williog to admit by
exception, even thosi who have not met
Regents requirements," Slatin said.
Slatin t1ten asked the FSEC for advice and
comments regarding the revision of the
original statement of UGC expectations.
Nick Goodman of Mathematics noted
that his department already has a problem of
teaclling a group of 200 to 300 swdents who
are ill-&lt;Oquipped by their high schools to deal
with freshman-level math. The proposed
UGC curriculum will require fresluneO 10
take a full year of math. Those without the
preparation will not be able to graduate on
time, or even at all , from UB.
"Let us send a message to the high schools.
telling them that we want students to take the
preparatory courses," Goodman said.

UGC's expectations. '' My concern is--don't
we want tligh school counselors to tell their
students to take math?," Rising said. '"Their
role is to advise them to take counes. That's
why I prefer the original statement because
it will put more pressure on the high schools
to better prepare their students.''
President Steven Sample. who was attending his last FSEC meeting. waived his
scheduled repon to enter into the discussion
of secondary school acadelnic preparation.
Sample felt·that the UGC proposal and the
content of Ute'FSEC's discussion~ important in the loog term for UB and bolh SUNY
and CUNY S)IStemS. ~What UB sets out10do
for itself has an influence on the other systems.'' ~ said.
Sample suggested that the statement of
UGC expectations sbould be '"tougher and
intimidating and elitist ,!!! some wa~." The
.statement should say that "these thin&amp;s u a

according to Slatin. High schools and applicants to UB must therefore be notified of
these expectations. Slatin fears that the
original statement describing the UGC 'sexpectations will be misread by guidance
counselors as absolute requirements for entering UB and thereby discourage swdents
lacking the correspoodiog background from
applying.
Slatin feels UB's ftighly diverse student
body lends the University an imponant, distinctive reputation and a lively ' academic
setting. "I asked the director of admissions

OLDIERS RE1lJRNING from the
Persian Gulf may not suffer as
serious psychological problems as
those who fought in Vietnam. yet
their family and friends, and the nation as a
whole, should be sensitive to the changes
war bas wrought upon them.
So advised Professor of Psychiatry
Norman Solkoff. an expert on the psychological effects of war, at an infonnaJ discussion seminar held March 1 in the Human
Resources Development Center. UB Healthy
spoosoned the seminar. which addressed the
stresS~IieQCed by those who have family
and friends fighting in the Gulf.
Solkoff_ began by expressing his relief
lhl1 the war did not last long. "When the
whole thing began, I was worried that the
nalioqwould have huge problems with people
satrerilts Post-Traumatic Stress

acc:onling lo Sollr.off. " An analogy I lilr.c to
use iJ the diffenmce between a bike riding
over a flower bed, where only a few flowers

where the whole flower bed is destroyed"

Solkoff said "WariJJite!haL WoriJOUISide

Other symp!OmS of PTSD affecting an

Stone sees 'delicate balance' as key to Mideast peat;e

11\'--A
Reporter StaH

S THEW AR in the Gulf comes
to a close. the region is faced
with various confusing and unresolved JX,llitical issues. ac•cording to UB Prnfessorof~iology Russell
Stone. He believes that a delicate balance
must be achieved within the region ir' a
lasting peace is 10 be realized.
Stone's remarks were made duling.a forum held last Wednesday in the Kiva on
"The Political and Social Impact of the WtJI
on Neighboring Coun!Jies in the Middle
East" Tbe forum was sponsored by the Div.
of S!Udent Affairs and the Undergraduate
C&lt;&gt;Jiege.
" We see a situation in great flux right
now. This si tuation unfolding is what we
anticipated but we are nonetheless uncomfortable ," said Stone .
In that the war was sanctioned by the
United Nations . the diplomacy that is now
talr.ing place at the war 's conclusion will be
complicated and multi -faceted according to
Stone. ''Tbe allies were justified in using the
bartle plan that !hey used. But in the post-war
situation. this creates a whole new problem."
he said. "Does the coalition formally hold
Iraqi territory? Will that force withdraw
eventually? Who will be left in control of
lnlq i territory? Are there neo-colonialist and
imperialist in terests here?"
These questions will not be easily answered and although negotiations are ongoing, the situation is sti ll very volatile, he
said.
At the center of thi s milieu lie the political
impacts !hal the conflict has had upon the

coun!Jies of the Persian Gulf region, Stone
said. " It's clear that there will be a period of
indeterminacy in the Gulf. It is true that in a
number of Arab countries such as Saudi
Arabia and Jordan. the split belween the
leadmbiplDd the population is pronounced."

lnJoolan. forexornple.lhe large Palestinian population forced
King Hussein 10 gradually spealr. QUI in favor
of Iraq's position durthe conflict, said
Stone. However, that
suppori
bliog po-

co'uld

litical and economic
ruin to the counuy _
-

" Jordan played what
will prove to be a disastrous role for their own counuy," be said.
" King Hussein burned many bridges and as
a resul~ aid from Egypt. Saudi Arabia and
the Uniled S!lltes is now in jeopardy."
he Palestine Liberation Organization is
also in trouble, Stone claimed, because
or'its public declaration of support for Iraq.
" Much of the suppon for the PLO formerly
carne from Saudi ArabiL That is now all cut
off. The PLO's siruati6n is tenuous."
The Israelis have found new political
unity because of the Gulf war, explained
Stone. Normally, there is a lot of political
dissent, but the Israeli government p-esenlly

bile her mother was ca=l for.., a fine
hospital, Ferraro uid, it was ov.,..
crowded and nones were few clue 10 cost
cuJS. The attentioa her motber needed, as
with many Olber elderly people in the bospiJal and around the country. was inadequate .
~u was nowbere near enough," she said. As
a !.:suit, Femoro cancellcd her ajlpoinJments
and stayed borne with her motber.
"President Bush should be ashamed of
IUs ve!O of the Family Leave Act," Ferraro
said. referring 10 the women who bad diffi-

culty keeping their)obs once they chose to
stay home to care for their parents.
She believes thai the plight of elderly
women deserves special ancntion because it
is the "fastest growiJl8 poverty segment in
this country." Sbe quoted an expert on gerontology as saying that "the problems of old
people are the problems of old women.·· ·
To prove her point, she poin!ed out that
elderly women are more likely !han men 10
be withoul sufficienl pension income. to be
widowed. divon:ed, 10 have been employed
in low-income jobs. and 10 lack aca:ss 10
affordable health care.
"Why do Jbesediffe&lt;moes oc::curr Femtro
said. She explained that. in addition 10 pay
inequity. women receive lower Social Security paymentS !han men. and that the Social Security system "does no&lt; =ognize the
years spenl by women who are at home
doing the tnlditional job of wife and mother
as a wort contribution ... She also no!ed that
wQmen work in jobs that don "1 provide
pensions. " When I was in C...,gress. we tried
to corn:ct that inequity:· she said. ~u nror­
tuna~ely. it stili exists."
To -prevent quality of life from s lipping
away as we get older;· Ferraro advised. is
to " be prepaml" and foUow three steps.
.. FlfSI." she said. "sit down and figure out
wha.I we have in assets and income now."
Second. Ferraro said. we should try 10
increase present assets and~ "Las an
advocale for women, do il on a daily buis,"
she said. "When I was a legislalor I changed
the law. But women tbroughoulthiscountry
should wriJe to their legisl.a!ors about malr.ing the Social Secun1y system and pension
la ws equi tabl e ."
The third step is to ..take a long hard look
at our health care plan and anticipa!e whether
or oot it would be sufficient to cover us if we
g01 ill... For 111051 womea. she noted. health
insurance COVerljle is highly dependent on
mari!al and employmentSWI!S.

In closing, Ferraro once &amp;pin spok.e of
her molber. "I've said more !han once tba1
God probably ·knew what He was doing
when we Jet Ronald Reagan win in 1984."
she quipped. ~If I were vice president, I
wouldn't have been able 10 take off one day

fact tba1 I was able to share some wooderful

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

success. '"!be desert environment does DOl

Sample's farewell hails UB 's spectacular achievem~

T

AKING STOCK of the last nine
year.;, President Steven B. Sample
said ...tbe achievements of thls Wli ·
ven;ity in the past decade h.ave been
nothing short of specllleular" despite the fact
that UB "has along way to go before we join
the ranks of the ten best public universities in
America."

Delivering his farewell address (see accompanying text) at Slee Hall on Tuesday,
Sample, who leaves March 31 to become
president of the University of Southern
CaJifomia. said the achievements of the '80s
w~ not his personally, but rather pointed to
the accomplishments of facully. studenL'I
and staff.
When he interviewed for the UB pres!·
dency in 1981. Sample said he found a uni versity that was "down on it.~ If.·· held in low
estoem by many of its own faculty, srudent.s.
administrators. townspeople and alumni.
'"The body pol itic of the Univenity seemed
lObe bruised all over- whenever we touched
il no matter how gently. it seemed to quiver
and shrink back a bit." Conversations he bad
with UB constituents often centered on the
negative and students he met were not proud

of attending UB .
Yet Sample and his wife. Kathryn. saw a
university .. in excoedingfy good health."
despite some problems. It was, after all ,
SUNY ' s flagship school. although "the vast
maJOrity of New Yort.ers. and indeed most
Buffalonians. would not have agreed with
that statement in 1982."
ln trying to achieve national prominence
a.&lt; a research school, Sample said the Uni versity had to overcome a recession and a
state bureaucracy that was then .. micromanaging everything ... from coffee c ups to
"' udc-nt c-om:tc-1 hnuro:.: ··
Helping to tum lhmg::. aro und was the:
introduction of fle:t ibiliry legis lallon in \985.
which gave SUNY units greater autonomy
in making finannal decision s. Sample
pomted OUl
Another tum-around came in eruollrnent
which had looked unpromising at besl The
University mounted a massive recruitment
campaign and the academic quality of both
applicants and matriculants rose slwply.
Especially gratifying, Sample said, has
been the University's ''dramatic'' inau.se in
enrollment of underrepresented minority
students. He attributed the increase to programs aimed at atlraCting and retaining minority students, and the University Honors

Program. -which is one of the very best m
the country."
Helpful to overall recruitment, Sample
said. was the Nobel Prize awarded to Habert
Haupunan. the awarding of the National
Center for Earthquake Engineering Research
to a consortium headquartered at UB. and
the election of the Univenity to the Association of American Universities (AAU).
Sample acknowledged that improving the
quality of undergraduate student life - one
of his top goals when he came here -"has
proven to be a tough nut to cnck." Despite
great strides ... we stiU have a very long way
togo.
"I doubt thai anyone realized in the '60s
the ex tent to which moving the main part of
the University out to Amherst would destroy
the spiritual and psychological infraslruc1llre
of the institution, and with it the quality of
student life. 1be fact that this move will U!.ke
more than 30 yean; to complete, rather than
the 12 years originally anticipated. has greatly
eucert&gt;ated the problem."
meliorating this condition to some
ex ten~ said Sample, has been the establishment of the Undergraduate College.
which " has done a greaJ deal to relrindle
faculty concern forundergradlliiiCeducation.
and to bring senior faculty into closer contact with freshmen and sophomores." 1be
pbysica.l environment is improving too.
Sample said. "Some of our more forbidding
and factory-like buildings are finally begin' 1g to be softened by human usage and
growing trees."
Sample said town-gown relations h.ave
also innproved dnmatically in the 1851 nine
years. and that the Universit y's initiatives in
eTo nomi c de velopm e nt have bec o me·
·· models for the entire state.·· But he regret~
the separation of the ans and sciences into
three distinct faculties, and the fact that he
has been unable to convince ""faculty members in these three camps that they would be
better off by joining forces."
Still, promise for intenlisciplinaty growth
lies in the Undergraduate College's building
of bridges among disciplines, and the new
Humanities Institute.
Turning to the question of private support
for the UniveT&gt;ity, Sample said he was "initially lulled to sleep by the belief that somehow , ~ state will provide.~ Yet be quickly
became aware that an effort had to be made

A

wh1ch in 1982 was far out of line with wb.al
other public univenities wem producing.
"Since then we h.ave made llelnelldous
strides in this area. primarily Ullder lhe auspices of the UB Foundation. We now produce over S I 0 million a year in private
support. and we ~ well on our way to
completing the fiTst major capital campaign
in the history of the SUNY system."
Also noteworthy , Sample said. are uB's
achievements in international programming,
especially in tbe Pacific Rim. llld lhe "tn:mendous amount of capital COIISirUCtion that
h.a3 tam! place on our campus over the-past nine years."

In Sample's view, tbe current budget crisis will not cause tbe University "to founder
on the shoals of financial exigency ." Still,
the University will face many challenges in
the '90s, as fierce competition lies ahead in
recruiting outstanding faculty.
"Buffalo 's ability ID compete effectively
in this arena will be lhe siDgle most important factor in ddennining wbetber or not UB
emerges as ooe. of tbe teo leading public
universities by tbe year :ZOOO.fl
Sample added that the Univenity's AAU

Sample asked Vice Presidc:ntRoben Wagner
10 lead an ambitious recruitment effort. together with the three Arts and Sciences Deans.
I think tlwourpresently swollen classrooms
testify 10 the success of this recruitment-and retention effon through the University.

Ca•~··--·~
AI the same time I was asked 10 coordina1e
our widespread comse offerings through the
"Bc:ncy of die newly created Office of the
ProvosL A new UncJerxraduale Council was
appointed 10 advise the Provost about reform. It inc I~ the Arts and Sciences Deans
and representativ es from units spanning the
University whose role to.uched upon ~dcr·
gnduale education. As I weot arouod the
campus aslring constituencies what should
be done. I heard lots of suggestions. some of
them uncynical. The Dean of the School of
Management even suggested. ooly half jokingly. that we should think about creating a
new undergraduale college. Since Joe AI uno
bad led the design of a successful UDder·
gndualr: prognm for managerneot studentS.
I admired his practicality. So 10 the Council
I took the idea for a four-year college progJ11111 that would be horne 10 students who did
not early identify with a professional pro-

gnun.
The Undergnduale Council liked the idea.
and it began 10 develop an outline for the
College. I began to test the waters. One of my
colleagues. Jonathan Reichert. said. ''That's
the craziest idea I've ever beard of. It will
never happen. Besides. why is an administrator like you trying io develop a new curriculum? Nobody trusts you guys. Why don ' t

you get together a buDcb of faculty members
10 design a really exciting couroe of study?"
So began the idea of Senior Members. Everything about this College hinges upon the
volunt8ry support of these faculty and staff
members.
Since then the idea of the College has
been built by and arouod and upon the possiooale commitment of a group of Senior
Mernben. tlw is. faculty and staff members
who are senior eoougll 10 bave a general
overview of the goals of their diJciplioesand

~II.programs around the country . Senior Mem·
bers debated inlegrative programs from
Harvard to Columbia to Stanford 10 Brooklyn College and Kansas. All agreed t1w our
present Gen Ed Program had no unity . The
main poinl of a geoeral education program is
10 learn something of different modes of
IOI.fUtry speciftc to each di sci pli~ I ..earning
a tool kit of disciplinary sk ills would suffice
for a student to return and oo re·srudy a
different skill as one · s interest or career
changed in the future. But our Gen Ed progJ11111 has no specific aims. no true coaJes.
ceoce of one course to another. no progress
10 a larger eod in time.
Although we knew that it would take a
long time to draw up our coordinated course
of study. we l8feed that we should start one
facet irrunediately. Freshman Seminars were
created first because we alll8feed that firstyear students spend most of their class time
in vast lecture halls taking required courses
in psychology. economics. physics. chemistry, sociology, communications and the
like. Tbese large courses are cost-efficient
for departments but was~eful of ftrst-year
students who drop by the wayside unaitcnded.
We learned that UB had attrition rates
during the first year mucb higher than national aveJ"'8es. Acadein;ic failure and/or

dissatisfaction were main reab.s_
But in order 10 offset the high attrition ra1es
and 10 achieve its assigned F'TE funded quo.
tas. the Admissions Office apparently
overemolled each entering class. thereby
institutiooalizing a fixed attrition rate. So
during any first year, class rooms. dorm
rooms, and advisement agencies could 001
contain the guaranteed overflow. (I lbink
some of this positive feedbaclt has ' - '
corrected oow tlw Admissions and Student
Affairs bave been transferred 10 die Provoot'a
Office.) An aim of the Freshman Seminars
was 10 reduce in pan this avoidable crowding. Senior Mernben wanted 10 k&lt;qlstudeniJ
by letting them learn in small groups..
During its first few years_ membership in
the College grew from 30 Senior Memben
10 about 60. Afler applying we are ljlpOinled
to three-year terms. so divemty continues
and circulates. In the beginrting. few people
knew each other well. And few had ever
experienced the u10pian headinessof galhering to design a new model of teaching aod
learning. There was so much to solve. t1w it
took a year to channel differeru visions into
specifiC resolutions. And each year we bave .
been called upon to restale , to justify. aod
sometimes to modify thi s c urriculum fur
new members. There have been shirt-sleeve
sessions and sbouting sessions. by day IDd
by night for these six yean. Harold Cohen
has expounded. Tom Headrick has a&gt;UDseled. Carm Privilml has prayed for us,
Barbara Bono has reasoned with us in
Ciceronian sentences. Tom Barry has never
attacked a pluralist ad homin•m. Tony
RalsiOn has joked ahout mathematical ignorance . Fred See has pers uaded with
bawdry, Wilma Cipolla has brought us bock
10 ._. main issue. Joe Tufariello has taught
us ahoutteaching chentistry. Each of us had
different goals when we joined together. but
all of us think that this curriculum will begin
to inlegrate teaching and learning here. No
c urriculum can substitute for a complete
academic environment. but I think this one is
a necessary beginning.

Protection Fund, will focus on the consumption of fish from Lakes Ontario and Erie by
residents of 16 counties, occording to Jolm
E. Vena, principal investigatOr and UB associate professor of social and preventive
medicine.
Vena said researchers wan I to determine
the characteristics of the population thai
consumes fish from the lakes, how their
perception of risk relates to their consumption and the health effects of that consumption.
"There is a long overdue need for a large
population-based survey of anglers to establish a cohort of fish eaters," Vena added.
The study will lfe funded by a one-year
S157,800 grant from the Great Lakes Protection fund. founded in 1989 by the governors
of the eight Great l.alr.es states. The fund is

KING FORWARD
Farewell Address
tq the ~cade,mic .Community
of ~he. University at Buffafo

FEBRUARY

you know . I have rt:eenlly ac cepted the presidency or the
University of Southern Califor nia. effective March 31 . Whlle it
will be very difficull for my wife
and me to leave the University at
Buffalo. we can at least tH.e
comfon in the fact that our going
west will give UB a splendtd
opportunity to review its past
progress and consider what
cour.;e it should !alee in the years
a.bead. After all, what bener time
could there be for a university to
lake stock of itself than during a
transition in its presidency?
II is in Ibis spirit of looking
back and loolting forward that I
should like 10 speak 10 you today
during this, my final address to
the academic community that has
been my home foc the past nine
Y""'· In particular I should like
to tell you what my impressions
were when I fLrSt came to UB .
and wllat m y dreams for the
university we~ at that time .
Then I shall try to assess how far
we ' ve come in fulfilling those
dreams . And finally.l'll descnb&lt;
some of the challenges and OJ&gt;portunities that I see on the bon .
zon for UB and its new
president.
To aS'\ ISI m thi s process . ea~:h
01 you shou ld have rece1ved a.\
you came in a listing by category
of selected developments at the
University at BuffaJo over the
past nine years. While it is far
from being an exhaustive list of
what this uni versity has accom plished in the last docade , il ts
nonetheless a very . very i'.'l1pressive litany of achievements.
Indeed , it is almost cenainly one
of the most impressive track
records of any American uni ver sity in the 1980s.
Now here' s an tmponant
point - the list you have in your
hands is not a ~tation of my
achievements as president of UB .
I do not deserve, noc would 1
accept the credit foc these deveJ .
opmcnts. Rather, what you see is
a listing of OW" collective
achievements as an academic
community.
As one would expect in a
university, most of the: items on
th is list were actua.Uy accomplished by fac ulty and students.
Bul in each and every case those
faculty and students were suppaned by professional sutff,
clerical and service staff. adnun istrators, donors, trustees and
council members, volunteen.
political and business leaders,
and thousands of otben.
So please do read over this list
with pride. But please do not
attribute these achievements to
any one person. or to any one
group of people. Rather . I hope
you will view the list as simply a

brief and necessaril y incomplete
collection of facts on whic h the
fo llow in g analysis is based.

AQ-•THE

now share with you a few of the
thoughts and impressions that I
had about Buffalo and its un•ve rsity in the early 1980s.
When my wife and I were
inu:rviewing for tbe ~idcnc y
of UB in 198 1 we saw a university witil great underlying
s1rengths and numerous superficial problems. Unfortunately the
problematic surface was all that
was perceived by most or ua· s
constituencies at that time.
Ne~ in our lives had we
encountered a university that was
so down on itself. or that was
held in such low esteem by so
man y of its own facu lty. stu dents. admini strators. townspeople . and alumni. 1be body
politic of the un iveriity seemed
to be bruised all over - whenever we: touched it. no matter
how gentJy. it seemed to quiver
and shrink back a bot.
For ex.ample . during the four
months prior to my offici y
assuming the presidency, and
dun ng my first few months in
office. J spoke direct1) with
hundreds of UB ' s constituents.
Almost invariabl y~ conversations began with the other
person saying something negative about the universiry . And
during this same period I never
met a single student who said
that he or she was proud to be
anending UB.
However , from m y wife 's and
my perspective the inner core,
the infrasuucture if you will , of
the University at Buffalo was in
eu:cedingly good health. We
saw a univers ity which had an
excellent {a.J.beit somewhat
dispirited) faculty; competitive
facul ty salarie s; good stude nts
who were willing to work hard ; a
loyal and supportive governing
Counc il; competenl and dedicated staff; an active university
foundation; a brand new physicaJ
plant: mostJy new scientific
equipment; an outstanding li brary: and a long and di stin gu tshed academic history .
We also recognized that UB
was in fact SUNY's flagship
campus. although the vast majority of New Yorkers, and indeed
most Buffalonians, would not
have agreed with that sr.arement
in 1982. It seemed clear tn us
that, as the flagship public insti ·
tution in a large and prosperous
state, UB had a shot at becoming
one of America's premier publ ic
univeni,ties by the end of the
century.
1bere were of course formi dable obstacles blocking UB 's
development In addition tn the
spiritual malaise cited earlier.
there loomed the fact that the city

�--.-.. ...... u

of Buffalo and its environs were
mired in a deep recession, witb
unemployment rmes running as
high as 15%. 1ben too. the entire
SUNY system was caught in the
suffocating embnce of a huge
state bureaucracy which was
trying its best to micro-manage
everythmg at lhe university from
coffee c ups to Sllldenl..contacl
hollf'5.

And finall y there was the fact
that most New Yort.ers seemed
to v1ew public higher education

a.s being inherently inferior to
private higher education. I recall
how shocked I was when. early
m my Lenure at UB, I heard a
SU NY trusltt say in open sessJOn that ~ sUNY is the college of
l a.~t reson ." Good grieP. I should
have thought that every trustee
would see SU NY as the college
of fi rst reson for all classes of
New Yorkers. as is the case with
the great public universities in
other states.
Nonetheless. in spite of these
difficulties and problems. my
wife and I were convinced that
UB 's future was potentially very
bright. Fonunately most mem bers of the UB Council and a
significant number of faculty and
staff a~ . I !IUnk the events of
the past nine years have proven
us right
ACHI~

OF GOALS

address to the facul ty in April of
1982. and in my inaugural address the following Septemher . I
identified five personal goals that
I had for the University at Buffalo:
I . Strengthen both the realny
and the perception of UB as a
major national research un iversity.

2. Rec nut to UB a higher
proponion of the state 's most
academical ly -talented students .
with special emphasi s on minority students.
3. Improve the quality of
undergrad uate srudent life at UB.
4 . Expand the public SCTVICe
ro l~ of UB . ~speciall y with
respect to economic d~vel op­
m~ nt in W~stem N~w York .
5. Reaffirm the centrality qf
th~ liberal arts and sciences in
the ac.adcm1c and intell ec tual life:
of thi s un iversity.
Great progress has boen made
to ward achieving aJI five of these
goals. However, as might be
expected . some have been more
full y achieved than others.
Pnlctically everyone would
agree that UB has made spectac ular gains over the past nine
yeMS in establishing itself as a
major national rcseart.h univer·
sity . The se lected developme nt!.
listed under Section C of the
appendix speak for themselves.
Most important among these. 10
overall tenns. has been tht elcc-

tioo of SUNY -Buffalo 10 member&amp;bip in tile AIMiciiJioo of
American Uruvenities in 1989.
It seemed 10·me in 1982dlal
the lack alan AAU ~was
the most glaring weakDcss of the
SUNY system. 1be sta1e colleges
and community colleges in
SUNY were competitive with the
best in tile nation, and seven~ of
SUNY's specialized colleges
wen: absolutely the best in their
clasa. But it was widely perceived dial SUNY bad done a
very poor job of developing its
researcb universities, a fact dial
was clearly recogniJ:al by the
1984 blue ribbon ~lltron
the f'unue of SUNY. Thusstrengthening UB as a ualional
research univenity was not only
imponant for the overall development of our own campus, but
for the development of tile
SUNY system as well.
Many facton contributed to
the achievement of goal I, in~luding especially the flexibility
legislation of 1985 and the
Gn!dUIIe Research Initiative. But
most important of all was a tremendous inenease in effort on the
pan of UB 's faculty. 1be size of
our faculiy has remained essentially COOSIIIII. and avenge
~g loads have remained the
same, and yet in just eight years
our faculty have tripled the
university 's annual rate of spon ·
wred program suppon and
greatly increased the number of
articles lhey · ve publisbc:d in
journals of the first Bnk.
Goal 2 relating to student
recruitment has been achieved to
a much higher deue&lt; !ban I
would have thought possible.
especially with respect to minority students. See appendu items
A- I through 5, B-7 through 9.
and D- 5 through 8.
I can recall sitting in numerous meetings in late 1982, and
feeling we were looking down
the barrel of a shotgun in the area
of enrollments. All of our projec tions indicated rhat UB would
attract fewer and fewer students
of lower and lower academic
quality during the balance of the
80s.
At that point we decided to
mount a massive recruitment
effort. the results of which have
exceeded our most optimistic
expec11ltions. Tile academic
quality of both applicants to and
maoiculants at UB has ri sen
sharply. Moreover, UB has
pulled ahead of both Alban y and
Binghamton as the: institution of
ftnt choice among all SUNY
applicants. 'The quality of graduate and professional students at
UB has also improved signifi cantl y.
Most gratifying of all has
been the dramatic increase wr ' ve
experienced in the number and
quality of underrcprcsented minority students enrolled at all
levels. UB is now SUNY 's most
ethnically diverse campus. and

"All cfWi have made
heroic efforts to
rebuild and
Tl!juvenate
undergraduate
student life at UB .
In my judgment the

centerpiece cfour
efforts in this area
has been the
establislunent cfthe
Undergraduate
College."
one of the most edtnically diveBe AAU universities in the
country.
To what can we attribute this
success in student recruitment?
Certainly to an outstanding set of
special programs aimed at atnacting and retaining minority
students. Cenainly to a tremendous amount of bani WOt1&lt; and
cotrunitmenl on the pan of faculty and staff. Cenainly to our
honors program, wbich is one of
the very best in the country, and
which has helped overcome the
inclination on the pan of so
many New Yortcers to view
public higher educatioo as being
somehow second class.
But we also owe this success
in recruiunent to the ~ingly
pervasive perception of UB as a
major national university. Professor Hauptman's Nobel Prize. the
National Earthquake Center,
Division I sports, election to the
AAU , Professor Holland's play
off BrOadway, the World University Games -all have helped
attracl to this campus a larger
and larger share of the stale· s
ablest students.

Buffalo 's ability to compek

in determining whether or not

delennine how successful !his
instirution wiJI be at increasing
its enrollment of minority stu denlS .

lbcn too !his univenicy,
aJong with all of America' s major ~h universities. will be
strongly challenged to improve
ilS programs of undergraduale
education. Here il seems 10 me
Lhe University 01 Buffalo has a
two-fold advantage over many of
tts competitors. first, UB appears
lo be ahead of mosl Olber AAU
universities in suengthening
undergraduate education. Second. because SUNY is so large
and diverse , the several institu tions within r.hc syslem can pursue highly differenti.aled
missions. In particular. UB can
lArge! ilS programs toward a very
special kind of undergraduale rwnely , ooe who will thrive in a
large and sophisticaled academic
community in which mosl of the
facull)' and many of !he studenlS
are heavily involved in originaJ
scholarship and research. The
key challenge for UB is to con·

�--"•----p
tinue its development of Wldcrgraduate progrm1S that bring
bright. self~dc:nt. and ambitious students into close cootact
witll senior foculty who ore at the
forefront of their disciplines.
A tough ciiallenge coofroot ing all of American higher education in the 90s wiU be the need
to become mocb man:: productive
and efficient in everything we
do.
cowsc: no one likes to be
asked to do more witll less. Indc:cd, there is a tendency in the
academic community to believe
that it is simply impossible to do
mort: with less without sacri{lcing quality . No doubl tllis maxim
has proven lO be correct in a
number of cases. And yet I suspect then: are many areas within
UB in which we could become
much more cost-effective if we
rea.Jiy put our mind to iL Moreover. in view of the grim budgetary outlook tllroughout the
country at botll tile st.ate and
federaJ levels, I believe that only
those universities whic h do in
fact become man:: productive and
effictent will be abiC to improve
their acadentic quality in the
decade ahead .
One of the most imponant
and least-noticed changes that
bas occurred at UB over tile past
nine years is that we are no

or

longer a state-suppntcd university. but have become: instead a
state-assisted university . Now
what do I mean by tllat? Simply
tllat UB and its related operating
companies now receive less than
half of tlleir total operating budget from state general -fund appropriations.
In other words. if we add up
our annual income from tuition
and fees. grants and -.::.onuacts.
dormitory rental s, sales of meals
and other services, private support. medical practice, federaJ
studen1 aid , and other such

sources. and compare that totaJ to
what we get each year in operat ing suppon from tht: state general fund (inc luding fringe
benefits ), we find that the state is
now providing only 43% of our
total operating budget During
the past decade tile percentage of
our operati ng budget which we
receivt: from the state has been
decreasing steadil y. And in tile
lt:xicon of American higher edu·
cation, once our le vel of state
openoting suppot1 fell below tile
50% poi nt we ceased to be statt: ·
supponed and became instead
onl y state-assisted .
There U; a fundamental difference between mstitutions tha t
rece1ve most of their o pen1ting
suppon from the state. and those
that art respons1blc: for generat ing most of lhear own income
themse lves . Qui etl y. a lmost
impen:eptibl y, UB ha&gt; slo pped
anto the second of these two
ca tegon es.
How shoul d we reac t 10 tha!i
momen tous and far-reachm g
change'! Should we co ll ecuvel~
gnash our teeth and wn ng our

bands and demand that tbe provide us wi1lt biJ8" increases in
geocral-fwtd lplliO!Iriatioo, so
that we will once again be comfortably ~Pu­
baps. But remember, tbe neuon
we &amp;lipped below tbe 50% line in
the lim place is that we bave
oecome so mucb moce adepc at
genenling our own resources.

On the OCher band. this academic commllliity may decide
that its oewfouod IWUS·as a
~ univenity

is.

beoefu.- !ban. ane. In
fact UB might be beaiorolfassuming even more responsibility
for its own fwtdiug, while at the
same time seeking tbe iDCJUSed
flexibility and local autonomy
whicb would appropriately accompany such an increase in
responsibility.
There is.ooe final point that
must be made witb respect to the
future of the University at Buffalo. UB is an integraJ pan of
SUNY, and proud of it! In my
judgment joirting the SUNY
system was tbe best thin&amp; tllat
ever happened to this univenity .
But there is a neality about tbe
SUNY system wbicb, if it were
more widely understood and
accep!ed, would greatly enhance
UB '~and every OCher SUNY
cam'f;us's) pursuit oracademic
excellence. "The fact is, the SLate
University of New York is not a
unaversi ty man y sense of tha t
word. RJtther, SUNY as a system
encompassing dozens of glori·
ously diverse academic institutions.
Indeed, SUNY is tile most
inhomogeneous university system in tile United St.ates, and the
various institutions of which it is
comprised pursue radically differen t models of excellence. As
Jamestown saives to become one
of tile best conununity colleges
in the nation, as Geneseo pursues
national prominence as a slate
college of tile ftm rank., ilnd as
UB seeks to become one of tile
premier research universities in
America. tl1ese tl1ree institutions
will perforce become man:: and
mort different from each other.
not mo~ and more alike. Thus as
time goes On the SUNY system
wi ll necessarily become even
more diverse and heterogeneous
than it is today .
In my judgment tl1ere is great
strength in tllis diversity. SUNY
is a pluralistic system . in the
same way that lhe United States
is a pluralistic socie ty. We
Americans do not portray ow selves as a single people, as
though we were ethnical ly and
ge netically homogeneous. And
by tile same token SUNY shoul d
no longer portray itself as a
single uni versity. as Lhough 11
were an academ1caJ iy homoge·
neous institution.
Rather. we in SUNY should
reJOICe in our plural istic diversi ty
and nunure it. That mean s thai
all o f us - trustees. central offleers. and campus administrators
alike - must come to under-

stand that we simply caDDO( a-aft
plans and policies and priorities
wbicb eon then be applied uniformly toa'OOS the syslt:m. In- . we must inaeasiugly take
into account tbe iliffereoces
llil'IOD8 inslitutiolls within
SUNY. so that eacb institutioo iD
tbe sySICDI will be able-Ill flourish and oompc:IC effectively witb
its peen IIRJUDII tbe COUDlry. In
that way, and only in that way.
will SUNY be able to .roieve the
level of excelleoce whiclt the
people of New y ark bodt expect
and deaerve.
Now let us apply this principle to tbe queslioll of tuitioo
rates, wbicb I believe is the
single most important issue confronting bodt UB and the SUNY
sySiem today. In light of the
increasing divenity and
inbomogeDeity of tbe sy51em. the
case for maintaining uniform

tuition ra1es across the~
bas become increasiDgly tenuous.
Alia all, SlaDdards of admissioo and SlaDdards ror pwluatioo

are DOl wiifonn tltrou&amp;bout tbe
system. nor should they be. We

"In view ofthe grim
budgetary outlook
througlwut the
country at both the
stale andfederal
levels, I believe thaJ
onlytlwse
universities which do
in fact become more
productive and
efficienJ will be able
to improve their
academic quality in
the decade ahead."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

ceramics that were turned up. the archae ologisl could quick ly date the site.
'1'he great virtue of this type: of archaeology is that you can build up a sample of 100 :l

been doing other projects like that in other ~
pans of Italy. "
~
Dyson's findings begin to casl doubts on
long~blished theories on the fate of the
small farmer in Ital y. According to tradJUOnal
int.erprew.ions . the small farmer. on whom
the Roman Republic was built. hegan to be

The problem with such an IOlet"pfetallon.

stressed that wh ile some teachers have
adopted her methods , it is merely one of a
large number of possibilities represented at
the conference.
" Mostly. it' s the interchange of ideas. It's
small enough that everybody lalows everybody from the very ftrstlectwe." Reaclioos

Desiderio stresses that the puzzle has to
present a symmetrical pattern of black and
empty spaces. ··vou don "t just put a black

it that way in France:· he says. "'The puzzle

history in the anned forces. "Fo ur ge nerations of my farml y have served in the mi litary-my gi1!Ildfather fought in the First
World War. my father in the Second World

War. my brother served in Vietnam. and I
now have a nephew in the reserves ," he

added.
Along with hi s nephew. there are aJso
many other Arab Americans fighting with
Allied troops in the Persian Gulf against
other Arabs. " Most Arab Americans are
extremely concerned about the outcome of

tllis war." he said. "Besides having loved
ones serving in the Gulf, the y also have
fBmll y members still living in the region."
Mok.hiber feels comparisons between
Saddam Hussein and Hitler can lead to very
damaging stereotypes. "Someone like Hitler
is not lO be reborn or recJUted," he said.
"Hussein is no angel , but he certainly is not
another Hitler----comparing Arabs to Nazis
is very dangerous."

Mokhiber also assens that many Middle
·Eastern Americans are not recent arrivals to
the country. but. like himself. are deeply
assimilated within American society. A third
generati on Lebanese-Christian , Mok.hiber is
a nati ve of Niagara Falls. the son of a postal ·
worker and a bookkeeper. Before studying
taw at UB. Mokhiber auended SUNY at

Binghamton.
Ue began his career with the ADC in 1984
legal counsel. just a few years after
gnduating from UB , and became president
of the organization last August. ""Our position is against all fonns of aggression, which
underscores the whole goal for peace,'" he
said. when asked about AOC"s position on
the war with Jnq.
However, Mokhiber feels that peace in
the Middle East cannot becorn&lt;l a reality
unless the issue of the West Sank is addressed. ''There are two IDIIjor occupations

nasa

taking place right now that have 10 be dealt
with." he said. '"In addition to the haqi occupation of Kuwait. the lsn~elis are curreally
occupying the West Sank. the Gaza strip,
and southern Lebanon.'"
If there is ever 10 be peace in lhe Middle
East. says Mokhiber. then it is incumbent
upon the United States 10 work towanl addressing these issues. "If the United States
does not address these issues soon. then it is
risking vital interests as well as its etedibility
in the region.''
While Mokhiber feels it may be difficult
for the U.S. 10 salvage some relations already damaged by the Gulf crisis, any oegotiatiOIIS toward peace could belp repair

I wish to clarity UUP's posr·
lions and actions regard ing
the ' lump salary reduction
plan· and the accompanying problem tor
21-day period employees The lump salary reduction was imposee unilaterally by
the State Legislature. While better. in
some sense. than the original furlough
plan, ~ is still unacceptable and strikes at
the heart of collective bargaining
During lhe implementation stage of thrs
legislation . both UUP and SUNY . in a rare
a lliance. both tried to convince lhe Department of Budget (OOB) of the well·
documented inequity to 21 pay periOd
employees 008 wasn't moved. and the
21 pay inequity was implemented as
scheduled
The larger q uestion of course. is the
total lack of negotiations with UUP regardrng the lump salary reduction. In order to
protect our conlract and the righls of our
members. UUP filed a gnevance. the
essence of which was : ( 1) nonpayment ot
salary. and (2) violation ol the ' zipper '
c lause (Artrcle 48). The tatter states that
'neither party shall unilaterally seek to
modify its (the Agreemeni'sJterms
through legislation.· In addition. an Improper Practice charge was filed with
PERB alleging that the State failed to
negotiate tn good faith with UUP.
Of course. while all of the legal wrangling continues, part of our paychecks are
berng held
by lhe State. And
that's the real inequity here. If we w ere to
~ correct• the 21 pay period unfairness by
scaltng the p roblem to 26 pay penods 1'
would rmply that wrthholdrng chec&gt;&lt;s
based on a 26 pay periOd rs fatr None ol
this is fair .
The bot\om line is this: the enlire sys·
tern of withholding our money involuntanly
rs where the focus must be. The correct
remedy . the return of our money with
accrued interest, would provide reliellor
all ag grieved emp loyees, regard less of
pay mode.

...a.o-

~My

son. Joel. is only II
basn 'i been playing that long," he said. ~ But he
likes the gliiiiO and is in the record
books for being the youngest
player to become a Life Master."
A player earns the rank of
Life Master only by reaching the
allott.ed point total at various
levels of c ompetition-including local, regional and national
events.
~Bridge is very complex,"
Wooldridge stated. "A good
player must visualize arrays and
estimate 'probabilities.
'1'he game becomes more
complicated by bidding," he
added. ~you bid oo how many
tricks you think you can win. By
bidding you also infonn your
panuer of the ' .rgth of your
band. Tile more that you play.

own bidding strategy."

Wooldridge ~ plained . " He had

wasn't happy abouL But for Joel.

It's not a Thursday night poker game but a few friendly hands of bridge.
And UB's Powhatan Wooldridge and his family have achieved what most
bridge players would be envious of-they are experts.
''My wife, son and I are all Life Masters," said Wooldridge, associate
professor of research methods and statistics.

Ooe ~ h1' dad thmk a ll the card
pla ymg deUl:lcl~o from h1 s stud-

became interested in the game
while they both auended the Uni versity of Aorida.
" I played some bridge in col·
lege," he said. " But! didn ' t play as
often as I liked because I was m=
coneemed with getting through
graduate school. But now I have a
little more time to play on the
weekends. although the Bills games
andjobJm:ssures sometimes interfere.
" I play rn about a dozen re·
gional toumameh ts a year and
during the summer I play in some
national tournaments as well." he
said.
Of the estimated 20 million
bridge players in the United States.
49,000 have the rank of Life Master. It may take a player 12 to 14
years to reach this plateau.
Discussing this coveted title.
Wooldridge points to his son

Joel. " It took me far longer to
achieve lhis because I didn ' t
play o n a regular bas is. "

Wooldridge ex plained. " I finall y

my wife became one the year hefore. But Joel has done it in onl y
I In years. And thar 's remark .
able."
" M y parents taught me how to
play.'' said Joel, a sixth grader at
Amherst Middle School. "My father taught me at first and my
mo ther pitched in with the fi ner
points on pl ay and defense ."
Joe l was teamed with his
mom when he reached the
required 300 points in the
North American Bridge
Championships in Sa n
Francisco last year to become the youngest player to
earn Life Master.
"It was grea~ " s.aidJoel. " I didn ' t
get a trophy or anything but I got
my name in the Guinness Book of
World Records."
Joel spends much of his time
di scussing bridge with hi s parents
and reading books on bridge. Like

the amount of time spent playing
bridge really is no different than
maybe a gymnast training tO
compete at the national level. And

he really enjoy s the game."
Wooldridge says there are
so me fundamental teac hing
methods he used to help Joel to
Jearn and improve hi s game. and
'" Stresses that when teaching any·
thing, you must be careful no t to
over-simplify .
''You ha ve to be careful to
avotd the 'alway s do this- neve r
do that ' type or advice." he e~­
plained. '"There are too many ex ceptions to these absolu tes at the
advanced level of play. If yo u
teach thi s way. you can avo id •
studen ts havi ng to unlearn
lhings later on."
•
Wh ar Woold ndge
lik e~ most abou t t
playi ng bridge is the
sense of camaraderie
he shares with hi s son.
"The thing that I
fi nd so wonderful and ex.c111ng
about Joel' s interest in bridge. ~ ~
that my wife and I can teac h him
and play as his panner. We pla y
as equals."
For the Wooldridges. bndgc
isn'tjust a card game but a fam1 ly
affair.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

W ecms said the show was
the fina of man y presenta·
tioos to celebrate Black History Month.
The EOC invited two
representatives from
Senegal, Coumba and
Seynabou Gaye. to "promote !heir culture and relate it to the Afri.
can-American experience
and identity," Weems said.
The two sisten; operate a
hail'lityling salon specializ·
ing in trllditional West African hail'lityles.
explained Terri Gaiter. EOC employee and
coordinator of !be show. Gaiter met the two
sisten; last year when
she was visiting their
country . She invited
them to visit the
United States and dis·
play !heir talents, and
presently houses them
at her mother's house.
Several members
of !be audience vol·
unteered to have
their hair braided by
the two specialists.
Depending on the length and type of
hair. Seynabou or Coumba selected a
particular method of braiding. For
one vo lunteer with shan hair.
Se ynabou connected a thin strand
o f braJded hair by weaving one
end of the strand into the
..;u hJect"s naturaJ hair
Scynabou then braided th&lt;·
synthetic hair so that it hun g
straight from the side of the
vol unteer's head.

Braided hair is worn by nearly all
Senegalese women, from !be youngest child
to the oldest adult, according to Gaiter, who
showed pictures of Senegalese women and
girls wearing various types of hairstyles.
" Braiding is such a natural thing for them to
!mow, because !heir ancestors have dooe it
for cenruries and !bey do it all !be time,"
Gaiter said, adding that a special talent in !be
art is well respected. "Coumba rc;cently won
a hair art contest in Senegal with a scarf she
made out of braided synthetic hair," she said.

�Prof says philosophy keeps
crank ideas under control
llriiAIIII. ......
Reporter Staff

H

AYE YOU BEEN reading John
Locke or Immanuel Kant in your
spare time? Probably noL But according to Barty Smith, a visiting
professor in UB •s Pltilosopby Department
this spring, the study of philosophy is very
relevant to life in the late 20th century. "One
of the direct uses that philosophy bas is to
warn people against silly crank ideas, silly
crank fashions, such as New Age ideas or
crank religions or aazy ewes for all sorts of
psycbological problems."
Smith was invited by the Philosophy
Depanment to give the annual Marvin Farber lectures,
in memory of the late UB
professor. However. philosophy is not simply textbooks and classrooms for
Smith. He feels that philo- ·
sophical treatises shed light
on everyday reality in a way
that other areas of srudy cannoL "I think that without
philosophy. those kinds of
crank ideologies would very
rapidly become WlCOntrollable," he explained in arecent interview. "And I think.
if anything. Americans need
mon: critical philosophy to

Liechtenstein, whose enr:ire population is
about 25 .000.
"I come to the United States every year.

said Smith . .. As far as life in America is

Wbereas. you could fit all of Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein as big as Baldy Hall"
Smith explained that the people of
Liechtenstein are very proud of their exclusivity. Claims of elitism are unfounded.
however, according to Smith. even though
the counuy is very well-to-&lt;lo. "It's really a

In hi s recently published book. Th•
Making of an American Pluralism: Buffalo.
New York: /815-60 . Gerber wrote about the
waves of lrish and Gennan immigrants that
contribull:d to the ethnicdivenity of Buffalo
and other northern cities.
" All ofthecities that are like Buffalo have
the common profile of absorbing large num ben of immignnts amidst the circumstances
of booming economies." Cities like Buffalo,
Oevelllnd and Detroit wen: oew enough that
they lacked fiXed patterns of social life.
Buffalo. he noted. didn't even have a status
as a city until the 1830s.
The presence of so many foreigncn in a
new city bad a profound impact on Buffalo's
social development. Gerber said. What
emeiJed was what he !enDed a pluralism. a
pecul.iM form of society formed by the interaction of such large, complex groups.
Above all, new patterns of life were
formed. "In spite of t!Jt vast cultural diversity they reprdent. people mingle 10gether
in the public spbere. by which we mean
politics, and government, the economy. and
the oortofinformal civil society of the streets.

In Buffalo, political. informal civil and
economic life cbanged to occommodate the
iJnmipD1s. Though America was already a
democncy. questions of culrure shaped
politics significaotly on the local level. Local politics thus dealt frequently with ques·
tionsoflanguage,entertainment and religion.
Politicians, for instance, wrangled over how
the Sabbath should he observed.
"Wben you get into national politics. there
are national issues that supersede these is·
sues that hinge around cultural diversity:
issues of foreign policy, issues of warfare .
issues of national tu..ation. issues of balancing the interesU of the vast regions of thc
country." He added. " From time to time ,
there are cultural issues which are discussed
in national politics, when parts of thc country which are culturally distinctive have dif·
ferent positiona on issues like abortion.
separation of church and state.''

The problem mannests itself in the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

.. New York State. along with the rest of

repon noted. "Our capacity to com~ effectivel y in an increasingly challenging gl&lt;&gt;bal economy is diminishing. In a rapidly

being left behind.
"The prospenty of our poople depends
upon their knowledge of science. matbematics and technology," it added. " Witbout

The repon contains 8 strategic plan to

In the mid- 1980's, the University at Buffalo
=umiocd the premises upon

whicb

thai a bold new approach was necessary. A new
Undergraduale College, built around a core of
mon: than SO senior faculty memben '"~&gt;"' ·
senting a brood diversity of acodemic disciplines, was formed in 1986 with a clwge 10
~the geoeBI education program for all
students. In the four years of its exiSieDCe, the
Uodelgraduale College has mode siptificant
headway towanl achieving this goal . Through
the intmse efforlli of fa&lt;:ulty. professional Slatf
and swdenlli, the College has developed a
comprehemive proposal for a new genenl
cducalioo prognun. based upon a c:ore of new
intadisciplinary courses. This proposal. intended initially for Ans and Sciences students.
is CW1'0tllly wo&lt;ting illi way through the review

munica!ion networts wilh other irwitutions
are being established, and external funding iS

To addreu the problem that first-year .stu denla freqllendy do 001 have an opportunity 10
study clooely witb senior facuhy memben in

(as revised September 27. 1990)

The Undergraduate College proposes-for
aU otudenls in Am and Sciouc6 BA and
BS procr1liii5-W replace the current Genom Education Program. which oonsislli of
basic stills in writing and mathematics (up
10 10 cnodits) and sevem courses (21 credilli )
cbosert from five of silt Knowledge Areas,
witlubc. sequential and integmed curriculum
outlined below. This new General Education
curriculum, whicb would be phased in beginning in fa1J 1991. is divided between Undergraduate College= (UGC}, for which
the Undergraduate College would take primary respomibility. and General enucatior.
Distribution courses (GED) for which departments would take primary responsibilit y.
(Studenlli transferring from other colleges
will be included eventually into these new
general education requirements. Until then
they would continue to be bound by the
current General Education Program .) The
interim Uterarun: and the Ans and Social
and Behavioral Sciences 12&lt;=1it distribu tion requirement described below would be
replaced in 1994 by a more stiUCtUred 9cred.lt Interdisciplinary UGC course rt:quircment. 'fht remaining 3 credits would at that

course. This curriculum is gmu..ndtd in sound

Reporte&lt; Staff
RECENT SUNY system-w•de
assessment of faculty account ·

Comptroller Ned Regan poses a
threat to not only faculty independence. but
also to the vitality of UB research. argued
Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics at the

Over the past few weeks. Goodman. with

Goodman explamed.
" It seems to me that the comptroller 's
office will come up with a rigid system that
we will wind up fighting in the next ten
years ," Goodman said. " My document tries
to prevent that."
The danger. Goodman be lieves. is that
SUNY Central will he forced to assume
areas of responsibility better handled by
depanment chairs and the indi vidual universitiesandcolleges. AccordingtoGoodman 's
repon. '1'he suggestions made in the draft

In the Wri ti ng Place, those who come in

··Eve n though we don "t teach anything above

these k.ids in calculus," he said.
""The Unive rsity Learning Center has
grown to offer a wide variery of services.··
Ja vier Bustill os, the assistant director of the
ce nte r. said . speaking of its W.year history
as a turoring service within the1Jniversity.
The Unive rsity Learning Center was firsl
conceived in 1969 as pan of the Educational
Opportunity Program. It was renamed the
Thomasl. Edwardsl..earning Centerin 1971 .
and became pan of the Graduate School of
Education in 1972, where students in the
Graduate School were allowed to gain
teaching experience as teaching assistants or
tutorS at the Learning Center.
11Je goals of the Educationai:Opportunity Program matched the interests of the
Graduate School of Education .'" said
Bustillos.

L

Office of the Vice Provost for Under·
graduate Education, John Thorpe.
"Th is shift re fl ecte d the Learnin g

The center now has a staff of over 60

Bustillos. in light of the Learning Center s

students of the undergraduate popul ation.
"'Today we can offer a lot of assistance to
our students. The center remains a wonder·

schools supported the students, though I
think they felt very badly about what happened. Many went down to their students to
plead with them to get them oul of there."
Alier vigorous disCussions, the Beijing
Exchange Committee vOied to lift both the
travel ban and the suspension. This took
place. however, just as the existing threeyear exchange agreement was expiring. The
decision to begin discussions with the Chi nese for a new e xchange agreement subseque ntl y sparked a heated debate whqn it
went before the UB Faculty Se nate.

w1th th e Ch inese for what were to be final
nego tiations, w as defeated .
The debate broke down into what could
be termed practicality versus principles. ac·
cording to Lee.
Added Dunnett: '"There'Weretboscpeople
who felt very sincerely that we should cut all
of o ur ties and links with China. and those
who felt that academic exchatiges should not
he politicized, that we should not blame our
co lleagues for what happened, that we should
no t deny our students and faculty access io
k.nowledge and information, and that we
should proceed with the exchanges.
" Personally , I did not want that door with
China to he slammed or loelr.ed. I thought
that we had made a very big investment in
Chi na and tha t we cannot ignore China.
Containment and isolation policies never
work , and they have never worked in the
past, and it' s not in our national interest orin
the interest of our universities to cut our links
with China. We wo uld damage training programs fo r our studenlS. we would hun many
areas of our uni versi ties; furthermore if we
arc going to apply some son of a human
ri ghts test. a litmu s test, the n we should
a ppl y it to a ll of o ur exchange programs ."

D

un nen insisted that politic s in this instance should not interfere with the quest
for academic gain ... We have stude nts who
would like to studyin Ch ina andwhowantto
go to China. lt "s the best place for them to go

He added that there ~ many facul ty
whose careers are linked to China. "To them
it would be very hurtful to their careers if
they didn "t have access to China. I don't
want to lose another whole generatioo of
schol ars and students to the largesl most

Over the last ten years, UB has trained
many Chinese students and faculty whose
careers are in some way link.ed to their study
here. Dunnett declared, "It would be unconscionable for 115 to wallr. away from those
people."

a deposit of about $15 on a typical refrigeration sySiem. Supponed by Sen. John B.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"EOP was created in the I 960s to meet
educational and social needs o f the black

Known for her mtellectual acuity . Hoyte
adds that " what has made me feel that I have
contributed. is that I have seen students re main in school and graduate. Even those
who have failed or dropped out can at last
realize that maybe this was not the place for
tbem. They now have that information and
can make decisions accordlngly .•·
Though tough when necessary. Hoytt
believes that a devoted commianent is paramown wben dealing with students who need
under&gt;tanding guidance in making the tran ·
sition to academic ach.ievemenL
.. Education for those who are disadvan taged cao be very frightening . Culturally.
it ' s a new world forsomeofthem. especially
in some fields-art. for insWK:e. You take a
blac~ sruden~ an mner city kid. and you tal.lt
about art. Unless you cao bring that an to
something he can associate with. and not feel
u's a white an world ... he won't succeed .
.. lt takes an a wareness of what disadvan taged. impovenshed students bring with
them , and what nurturing is needed. You 've
got to nu.nure . you've got to inspire. Above
all. you have to show that you care:."
Hoyte 's well-articulated concern ts ev erywhere evident. When she received the

professor may not see t.hc potcnLJal . or he or

" I have fou nd that not everybody wiiJ be

people who s uppon you . you hang onto

Thus. the~ ts little organizational sophistication. Indeed. the American campus

students in recent years. A majority of
students hold pan-time jobs and there are .
ever larger numbers of older ~oo-Olldi­

American student activism has always
been concentrated in a relatively small

SUNYbudgetfor 1990-91dealing with the reductions
The Jan. 25. 1990 issue of 1he Repotter
carried 1he foiiONing headline:'Budget·
It's a Good One.' foiiOioVed b y a story
beg1nnmg . 'Given 1he State of New
York 's economy and tax revenues. 1t 1S a
good budget.· said Robert J Wagner .
V1ce Presrdent for University SeiVlces •

ELL. BACK THEN. u was a
good budget It certainly was
muc h better than the 198990 Executive Budget. wh ich
contained significant lump-sum reduc tions.
The 1990-91 Executive Budget maintained
current staffing levels. funded salary in·
creases. provided price increase funding.
and maintained funding for NCEER. as we ll
as identifying reduc tions for parkin g, etc. I
don't recall an y other year (over the past

W

20+) in w hich an £ucutiv~ Budgt't has been

so sign ificantl y reduced as is the case this
year. By March 1990. the Exec uti ve Budget

recommended SUNY appropriati on levels
had already been reduced by over S20 mil lion. as a resuh of rapidly deterion!ting State
revenues. ln August. a funhct $ I 3.7 million
reduction in SUNY's appropri ation was as·
s1gned and disrribmed withi n SUNY . Now a
funhe r S50.9 m11l ion reduction has been
ass1gned to SUNY . These red uc tions. totallmg al most $85 milh on have been imposed
on SUN Y since the Executive Budget was
mtroduced m January 199().
Tll1' th 1rd reduction (\50.t;l m1111on . pl us

,, Ss nHI II.t ll u11 111 ~ ,hnrtfall. for a wtaJ o f
$)8.'1 nu lhon ) W J IJ be addressed m four
pans: ( 1) addJ nonaJ revenue thro ugh a tu Ition mcrease of S 150 in the spring semester:
(2) separati on lum p-sum (l ag payroll ) fo r
State e mployees; (3) use of Central Office
reserves, contingency funds and interest income; ( 4 ) further campus reducti ons. Our
share of the further campus reduction porti on is S2. 1 million, plus an additional 38
FrE ·s. Our campus plan is to deal with this
rtXiuction through a combination of incrcasod
income (transportation fee ), employment
freeze, reduction in planned rehabilitations
and a funh er TemJXlrary ServiceiOTPS reduction.
These steps have significant programmauc impact. particularly given the short
time period over wltich 10 realize these savings. Several examples of the impact of
lhese further reductions include:
• Continued employment meu on noninstructional positions lhat will reduce fur·
ther support in Physical Plant, wltich had
already been reduced in earlier cuts.
furtherS I million Temporary Services/OTPS neduction. wbile assigned by
the President on a diffe=1tial basis to all
areas, will funher reduce the abilil)l of units
to provide support to students. research programs and infrastructure needs.
•Imposition of the transportation fee for
Spring adds S50 to the cost of aoeodance at

•The

UB .
We will , however. address thi s reduction
without any rettenchmenl
While we all need 10 focus on managing
the remainder of fiscal 1990-91, the Executi ve Budge t for 1991-92 will be issued on
Feb. I, 199 1. The news is not expected 10 be
good. In fact. given CWTelll projections, the
size of the fmancia l proble m for the State is
now estimated beyond l.he S4 billion leve l.
Th at is over 10 percent ofl.he State 's general
re ven ue budgeL The t.xpu tation is that the
ex penditure reductions for this year (1 99091) will, in dollar terms, become permanent
m 1991-92, :md lhat significant additional
reduc tions will be assigned. Depending on
the solutions agreed 10 thi s year by the Leg-

islature and Governor, DCXt year's reiluctions will probably lake lbe fom1 of lilnificant reductions in the Executive Budget,
followed by further mid-year mluctioos.
SUNY and this campus willlikelyttytodeal
with these reductions through a Continuation
of the st:rategies employed this year, wbich
included raising additional iucome (taitioo,
fees and fines, otherrevenuee:nlla.-nents),
use of SUNY flexibility 10 e~peod lllavail.able State-appropria!M resources and inleT·
est earnings by SUNY, aeative use of
avai lable capital funds and f'wtber .-.ductions in campus budgets.
oth the financial strategies and policies
we put in place for dealing wilb this
year's fiSCal reductions as well as SUNY's
strategies will help us in J 991-92 to deal
with a growing State fiscal crisis. Specific
examples are:
• Use ofGRl capital funds forbolb ~
rehabilitations and selec!M equipmeat acquisitions in place of openling fuudL
• Annualizationoflbetransporlalionfee
will cover all COSIS of buSiJ!g and .,.mug
rela!M to student usage. Also Ill other fee
income will continue in 1991-92.. ,.
• Mandatory,inFaiii991,SlUdCntflealth
Fee will allow for income to pay for Sllldent
health service costs beyond tbose""""""'in
1990-9 1.
,
• Proposed mition•increpe of&gt;$ ISO for
Spring 1991 would continue ancUe'annualo•·
iu:d in 1991-92.- .. ' ""' ~"' " ' u· .. •- •-··- ••
• Vacancies geoemed by·c:Urii!oi!-·:
ployment meu would penni I t1!e ftdiiCtioo '
of selcc!M l&gt;OSitions without lbe· .-1 for
retrenchment
• Another early netirement oplioll for
eligible ERS/I'RS retirement plan employees is being offered. Employees elecling 10
lake advantage of this program.· if ldoded
by the qmpus, will retire before tbe1Cod of
March. These positions woold aJso'be used
10 meet dollar and positioo reduclioDL
Thus, while lbe SWe'a fi.:alllilllllion is
truly very serious, ourefforu this yew, bolb
at this campus and in SUNYCaltral.llioutd

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

plans for the preservation of the
i&gt;art'in Martin House in light of
lhe recent defeat of lhe state En-

VU'OrunentaJ Bond Act_

The house. designed by Franit Lloyd
Wngh~ IS considered one of the best exlal1t

examples of the "prairie style" of American
architecture. It is a National Historic Landmart and one of the few Wright residences
'" the public domain.
Bruno Freschi. dean of the UB School of
Architecture and Planning. said the Universi_ty will host a public forum in the spring to•
discuss the lpng-term future of the house.
The forum is expected to be held inconjWJCbon With a presentation by Chicago architect
William Hasbrouck, consullal1t to the University on the restoration.
Freschi also llllllOUIIced the formation of
a board of advisors. which he s8id will assist •
him in developing policies to ensure the .
pelJJCtuityofthe house in the best interests of •
the state and the comm unity. The board will
include, but is not restricted to, University
and state parks officials; the Buffalo Preservation Boanl . the Landmart Society and lhe
Preservauon Coalition; historians, community re~nlatives. architects and designers.
" Whar we Waft I tod o," he said. "is expand
mvo lvement m this project so that guidance
for the eventual conservation reflects a wide

communiry of interests. This can only enhance prospects for the building's future."
The University had expected to transfer title
to the house to the New York State OffiCI! of

actor Gerard Depaxdieu ar 8:00 p.m . at
Hallwal ls Gallery. 700 Main Street.
Manin Guern · s story began when he
married a beautiful woman from a village
high in the mountains of Southern France.
According to the narrative. Guerre proved to
be both a horrible husbaod and a tenible
lover. With no children on the way after
eight yean; of marriage. Guerre beCame the
laughingstock of the 16th century village.
A cbild fmally came. but shortly thereafter. Martin Guerre disappeared. For almost
nine years , nothing was heard of him. Those
in the village assumed be was dead, but hi s
wife remained faithful until one day , wben a
peROO calling himself Martin Guerre llnexpectodly appeared. He resembled the mi ssIng Guerre physicall y. seemed well-versed

A hapPy ending seemed in order. unlll
Martin decided to se ll SOfTl!' land which had

doubts about his i&lt;kntity began to arise. The
father dragged him into several protracted

about to proc laim him innoc:ent. the original

Guerre drnmatically entered the courtroom
looking much the same as before, except for
a mtssing leg. The Impostor was given a lift

to the gallows; the reunited couple hobbled
off into the sunset.
For Jonathan Dewald. chair of US' s
History Department. the Guerre story ,. a
fundamental case of identity and personal iry. which can reveaJ much about 16th L-en tury French peasant society. "We can ask.
what had to happen for this impostor 10 take
up a position not justm the village but in the
family and go on undetected?" Dewald wi ll

Jim Swan, associateprofessorof£nglish

In our own time , Einstein generalized
Galileo's principle so as 10 include tht
time measure aJong with the space measure in defining a frame of reference in
whic h we represen1 tht laws of nature. Bu1
the essence of the principle remains: it is
now ca lled " Einstein's principle of relativ ity ."
The motion aspect of the question about
!he plane!S and s~ has lo do with tht
facts of their tkscription , whiJe the law of
g111v ity. here. has 1o do with tht aplanarwn for th is manifestation of nature. For it
is the ex ~anation , that comes with lhe
th inking process. thai leads 10 an under·
Slanding O[ tht descriptions of the [ac(S Of
motion . To gain such understanding . the
students must use their thinking pr"O:CeSses
to deriYe an explanation for gravity: recognizing th at their aim is not to merely de scribe the effects of gravity! Newton
proceeded w an explanation a generation
after Galileo. in hi s derivation of the law
of um versal gravitation. It is also what
Einstein did, in our own time, in his d iscovery of tht thtory of general relativily.
thai supeneded Newton 's theory, as a
correct explanation for the grivitational
phenomeno n.
Thus , I was appalled thai our own NSF
was not aware of the correct answer to
their question. in which lhey were testing
the scientifiC li1eracy of tht U.S. public!
- thai both of their posed Slalemen!S were
true !
As I see it. it is the main purpose of our
ed ucational syslem 10 instill the capaci1y
to think in our future citizens. It could lead
to a society of mature individuals with an
awareness of higr.:e.:~alues 'that entaif ·

During the first half of the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Native American panel
sees inf9rmation gap
By KEVIN MOORE
Reporter StaN

B

road cultural and social gaps
tie between Native Americans
and the rest of American
society, posing problems not
only for Native American political
movements, but also for mainstream
media journalists who cover them,
according to speakers at a UB panel discussion Nov. 14.
How can journalists accurately and
objectively report Native American
views, when they have very tittle background? Can Native Americans prevent
media distortion of their history, culture
and philosophy? Ultimately, can both
sides, despite their differences. reach a
level of mutull\IDKierstanding?
These ~&gt;ere among the issues addressed
by the panelist&gt;, local Native American
leaders and 'scholars who made their
presentation to journalists from Western
New York. Sponsored by the Native
American Studies Program in the Amrrican Studies Department and the )\J B
News Bureau, the discussion,-rclling-thc

the Onondaga Nation. ... Hodenoshanee."'
Lyons said , .. is the proper name for
the six· nation Iroquois Confederacy.
The Enghsh called us Six Nations - Five
Nations, originally - which became the
designated name for us.
"Meantime, the French always called
us Iroquois. We an: all one and the same,
but then, of course, you bave tbe specific
nations: the Tuscaroras, the Mohawks,
the Onondagas, the Oneidas, the Cayugas and tbe Sen~ .
"So, with all of these names, there is a
lot of confusion," Lyons said. "lbe
proper name is Hodenosbanee, meaning
'People of the Long House.' That is bow
we speak of ourselves in our councils."

L

yons objects to American Indians
being called a "minority" because be:
feels this "pejorative term" is debumaniz-ing. "'It mean! that we are less. smaller.
When applied to any group, whether
Black, Hispanj~ or Native American. it
takes the form of a designation," be
explained. "We an: indigenous people,
we an: the original people. We're not a
minority. We an: a small group, but we
an: landowners, we bold titles to lands. If
you were to come into our territories,
you would be a 'minority'."
Addressing the journalists, Lyons
asked, "Why is it necessary for you to be
gathered here tnday to learn about us?
Why an: you so uninformed, or iUinfouned. or misinformed?" Such questions, Lyons feels, an: important because
they indicate that U.S. education systems
have been overlooking the preaenee of
Native Americans and their contributions to American history.
"When Columbus 'discovered' this
land, there were an estimated 14 to 21l
million 'Indians' across tile "continent,"
Lyons said. "By 1900, tbere were only
250,000 Indians left. Now the question
remains, 'Where did all the people goT
And that's a question that is not

addressed in any of the history books.
You're not informed, your children are
not informed, and suddenly a land claim
dispute arises, everybody is up in arms,
going, 'What happened, why is this a
problem?'"
Conveying a proper picture of Native
Americans is important because their
way of life will not go away, Lyons said.
"From 250,000 people in 1900, we have
risen to two million people living in this
country tnday, so it is obvious that we
are not disappearing," Lyons observed.
"We are not a people struggling for
recognition, but rather we are a people
trying to maintain what we already
have.•
The panel discussed what Lyons called
a "serious lack in the ed&lt;~cational proCess
in this country, in info~ng the people
of this country" about the ative IO.merioan side of American · ory. From the
Iroquois Confederacy's contribution to
the framework of the U.S. Constitution
(thus the government itself), to the his-

torical ~venu leading to the land usc dispute in Ob, Quebee lalt summer, Native
American issues are not well undentood

asserted.

announced plans to systemUically
reduce its totaJ enrollment over the next

Patricia Schroeder said during a talk
Nov. 29 in Alumni Arena.
Schroeder, the second speaker in the

A cco rdm~ to Schroeder, these 1ss ues
ha ve traditionally been considered
women's issues and not family issues.
.. Every other western industrialized country has coruidered them family wues,"
sbe noted . " I think we even have to staJ1

United States . .. It's going to be someth ing that businesses are going to look at
wben they think about whethe r or not to

Can ad~ Asia, or somewhere else:, .. she
said.
In a high tech global village, a business
can be operated anywhere in the world ,
but Schrocdersaid, "You're not going to
put your business somewhere where
yo u11 have to re-educate everyone you
hire - you do n't want to be a teacher,
you want to be a business man.... she
remarked .
According to Schroeder , you 're also
not going to want to put your business in
a place where you have to worry about
crime. high incidents of drug and alcohol
abuse. or. "where there's high employee

turbulence due to the lack of any kind of
an infrastructure helping the family
through child care or anything else,
because they cost 'yoll money."
A middle-class family from other
industrialized countries gets much more
for their taxc:a than an American middleclass family, Schroeder pointed OUL

"If .our families are
cri.Jmbling, our whole
society's crumbling.
Our society is No. 1 in

.. When you really want to compare tax

pared to what citizens of other countries
pay). "You have to look at what tbe
American docsn' get for his taxes."

can'

of going toward things such as
I nstead
health care premiums, additional child

care costs. and tax exemptions, Ameri·
ca 's tax dollars are going toward defense,
she maintained, "We're spending $1300
for every man, woman and child for
defense," sbe said, comparing that to the
$300 that Germany spends, as well as to
Canada's $200 and the $100 Japan
spends for each penon.
Meanwhile, "we're out there being the
911 number for the world ," she
remarked. "It made sense for us to ICI as
the 911 number for the world in 1945
while Europe and Japan were on its
knees, .. she said . Now, she contends,
"they're in great shape."
The current aOministration, according
to Schroeder. should also re&lt;xamine its
priorities. "The debate about when: we
should be going in the world should be a
priority debate, not a tax debate." she
said . "When you look at your budget.
you see your priorities. Are the things in
our budget really our priorities? I hope
noL" Schroeder also pointed out that.
each day, approximately $5.2 million of
our tax dollars goes toward building the
B-2 bomber while we spend about
$100,000 dqllars on the war apinst
drop and $400,000 on housina. "We
cannot 1ettbese sacred cows (such aa the
.fl-2 bomber) remain in our budget
because they're grazing on our ' tn.
money." she said.
Schroeder also sees federal subsidies
given to America~ fanners as more
"sacred cows" in our budget. "In the

1980s the futest.,rowing · federal pro-

gt'am was

airiculture;"

abe said. "We
could save billions by not havinl to aut&gt;sidize our farmers if we got them
markets. Our farmers would muduather
have a mArket than a subsidy.
· '&gt;
"We absolutely lllust hAve child care
and family medical · leave;" ~aid
Schroeder. "To say that American
women are going to able to go baCk
home is a joke. If women
acme
into the workplace, IIWIJ families woald
have falleo out of the mic!d~.. .
Sbe also pointed out t.bat we are the
only industrialized nation that doesn't
allow leave without pay to a parent after
the birth of a child. Sbe also noted that,
according to the national budget 'office,
parental leave would cost SS.SO a year
fo1 an ave rage employee.

ust wbat immediate budsetary
benefit does the enrollment action
bring, Council !"C'mller Mary Rudolph
wondered. "It would allow us to teach
fewer courses, and therefore have to
replace fewer faculty vacancies,~ Sample
said, "even with temporary people. Our
problem right now is that we're I ,300
over&lt;nrolled, beyond our nominal abiJ..
ity to teach those students.
"So tbe way you cover that, is you
have extra temporaries, and you have
some overload, and you do some this
and that. And those tbinp cost money.
By getting down as rapi&lt;ily•as possible to
the targeted or budgeted enrollment,
we 11 be able to-save dollars."

straints and still maintain

focus of discussions among Faculty
Senate Executive Committee members
and of an informal talk by Prcsiden1
Steven B. !)ample and Pro vost William
Grc:mer at tbe FSEC meeting on Wednes·
day. Nov. 28.
Sainp"le rep orted th&lt;H the ~.:urrent
shortfall in the state budget tS around a
bi!Uon dollars. "Since this figur&lt;: is little
different from previous figures, the
budget problem seenis to have stabilized
for a shon while, .. Sample observed .
"Everyone is co mpl ying - not happily,
but with a se nse of shared responsibility
- with the program to deal with the current crisis ... The locally imposed freeze
on Universi ty expenses a nd on tenure or
tenure-track a ppointments has met with
very few requests for exceptions. Sample
added .
"The curre nt budget cns1s I!&gt; only a
warm-up fo r next year, " when SUNY
will fact a .. S3 billion problcm." the pres-

ident warned. State assistance: to UB will
become "lc:ss and lc:ss." requiring a raise
in tuition ... The trustees arc already leaning toward a $150 tuition increase next
spring. a S300 increase over the whole
year." Sample said. "Fortunately. tbis
will be covered by TAP." Sample expects
that Tuition Assistance Payments will
provide "&amp;reater leverage" in long-tenn
planoingj'or future budget problems.
Other proposed solutions Sample
me nt ioned include the use of a furlough

uofonunate. Our problem was local. The
framework for committee deliberation
should have been the high moral and
ethical standards already pronounced and
embraced for this campus. The TFI also
indicated that the problems it found were:
just about aU covert but concerns about
an increase in overt acts of vile behavior
on our campus is what led to its creation.
The TF goes on to make recommendations
to promote tolerance, but Lbc basis for its
recommendatiorU were not revealed.
If the TFI took a stand, it did a good
job of disguising it. The repon told of
certain persons who ..perceived" that
there were some disturbing threats in the
air but the TFI does not state its
findings, even after more than a year of
investigations. In truth, the TFJ seemed
rather timid on the matter, not unlike the
Faculty Senate Executive Committee
(which-on other issues can be quite vocal)
when the issue was brought before them .
I agree with the TFI that this campus
is more tolerant to the diversity among us
than some, j\151 as I suspect there are
others better than we are. I also agree.
and never hesitate to acknowledge, that
we can point to some equal opportunity /
affmnative action achievements, worthy
of praise. But we are as good as we are
because of enlightened leadership, and
staunch men and women of principle,
who will not hesitate to make it clear that
hatred and bigoUy will not prevail here.
In truth, the seal victim of those mean
and ugly ex ~ions of hate, are more
the perpetratOrs than the intended
v1ctims. Indeed , the targeted grou ps are

hope, will be exemplars of brotherhood
and sisterhood both here and when they
go out to the country and world at large.

The real victims are those tortured ,
twisted souls, whose essence is being
destroyed by the toxins of their own hate.
But if we tip-toe on the issue, if we glaze
over tbe festering sore, hoping by doing
so the problem will go away, then the
most unfortunate victim of all could be
the very community in which we live.

Sponsored Programs
helped researchers
l!dltor.
The Reporter has recently carried some
discussion about the degree to which
President Sample's efforts have: improved
the ability of reseaTChers at this university
to secure extc:maJ research funding.
Personnel have: been added to t he Office
of Sponsored Programs, but what
difference can tb.i.s have made? Some
' have argued that the impact of these
efforts can be disputed .
Recently, in the pursuit of a NationaJ
Cancer Institute gr~~ my .coUeagues and
I required extensive support from the
Off= of Sponsored Programs; our
experience may be informative.

"We would not have
succeeded without the
excellent support of
the Office of Sponsored Programs. "
A proposal we: submitted to the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) in

January was found in• June to be
meritorious. We wert: invited to submit
what is known as a best and finaJ offer.
due approximately three weeks later in
Wao;;htngt on As as the wont of some
3 C':JcfrmiC'S . we de lt ve red the ru nrn .. it l ' "
the Offict of Spomurci.J Prugra m11 at th e:
very last mmute. the day before the due
date:. Sponsored Programs delivered the
proposal to an air freight company that
guarantees oc:xHiay delivery; the
company delivered it in Washington, two
days later.
As lhis couJd ha ve caused our proposal
to be disqualified , I sen t angry letters to
vinually every uppc:r-lc:vc:l administra tor 10
this university. I was surprised at the
~pon.se to my letters. E\lc:ry single
administrator answered . assu ring me th at
he / she would try to ensure that it would
not happen agai n. and offering to

suppon appeals to Washington.
U nivc:rsity rc:pzuentativa did contact the
grant.s office in Washingtotr to ensure: for
our proposal a nonprc:judiccd reading.
We: later needed .to rely even more
heavily on our Sponsored Programs
personnel in the pursuit of Ibis granL The
grant carried a reatric:tion of investigator
publication rights. Although
is
common in nlulticenter n:searclt. t.bc:
wording of this restriction was more:
specific and strict than is common: so
strict that it was in coollict with State
Universi ty policy. Negotiating with the
Nat..ionaJ Cancer Institute, and ultimately
securing a \faiver of State: Univc:nity
bylaws required extensive coordination
and effon fmm Sponsored Programs'
Ms. Eili:en Hassett worked extensively to
involve appropriate univenity personne~
Drs. Landi and Kaars of Sponsored
· Programs not only went to Wuhington
to negotiate on our bebalf, but they also
undc:nook laborious communication,
representing me: aod my coUeagues. wlth
both NCI and SUN-Y Central; they
orchestrated an impressive c:ffon to
secure needed Trustee approval, under
severe time: ConstnWn. of a waiver of
policy. They man.aged. as Ibis was going
on, to keep me away from the boundaries
of frenzy. Dr. Sample persuaded
Chancellor Johnstone to suppon our
request to the Trustees
These efforts were effective; the
Univc:~it y at Buffalo was selected as one
of ten ce nters for this collaborative study.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

when undergraduate pre-regis tration
begins, or they will be unable to reg;.ter
for the sprihg semester, Registrar Susan
Ed said lut week .
Ec k explained_that "an unusuall y large
number of students are no longer eligible
to enroll for the s pring semester because:
they have either a Bu rsar 'checks top ' or
an immunizat ion chcckstop." A "check sto p,' s he ex plained , .. is an indi ca tor

I ,000 cbeckstops co uld be expected , for
reasons that include Kny unpaid bdl.
such as an outstanding libra ry or parkmg
fine .
As of last week. however. th ere were
about 3,400 cbeckstops, which could
prevent registration of large numbers of
students, Eck said. Her office is attributing the big increase to confusion over the
student health fee and the new immunization regulations . The latter .. are a

thought " that because tb.ey did not ha ve

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

By KEVIN MOORE

A

handicapping condition should
not determine how a handicapped person rates his or her

capabilities. nor should it

affect how he or she is rated by others.
maintains Toby Bloom Sc hoellkopf.
director of UB's Office of Services for the
Handicapped (OSH).
Despite being wheelchair-bound ,
Schoellkopf does not let her disability
define her sense of self. '' It is irrelevant to

be objective of a sorting machine is
to determine tbc: fi~t Zip Code or
the nine-&lt;ligit "Zip plus four." But if tbe
zip code is absenl or illegible, tben the

be used.

Eve niUally, machines will be developed

based on eleven-&lt;ligit zip codes.
The lechnologies being deve loped at
the ce nter will have wide application

outside of the PoSial Service:.

they simply have to do something before
the medical school building comes on

Another dilemma is gelling parts for
these antiquated machines. "' Parts arc
my biggest problem.- says Metzger.
''Pans for these old boilers aren't manufacwred any more. We got lucky fo ur
years ago and got $100.000 worth of

pans from the old bmler system at
Au bum Correctional Facility.Aube echoes Metzger's sentiments.
.. I've been waiting seven months for a
pan or the 1952 boiler. lt'sjust going to
get to the point where repair is just not
feasible anymon: ... He also pointed to
the fact that the pair of 1931 boilers are
running at an efficiency rate of 63 percent. "That should speak for itself.""
quipped Aube.
Both Metzger and Aube say that if
the plant didn't shut down for the

mproving the McKay Plant is the number one priority for facilities management, accordi ng to Fredericks. But
his list of necessary repairs beyond

Fredericks a lso poimed to buildings

extensive repair or must be replaced.
These buildings include Hayes 8 , Diefend orf Annex. Parker Hall and Clark

Minorities must 'recreate'
family unit, Sconiers says
By DEBBIE JAKALA

trengthening famil y st ructure is
the key to ending the cycle of
drug use. unem ployment and
tee nage pregnancy, so me of the
problems mino rity communities face
today and will continue to tackle at the
stan of the new century. according to
BuQiUo City Court Judge Rose Sconiers.
Sconiers will discuss -The Role of the
Family,." Saturday in the third pan of a
four-part seminar series sponsored by
Project S-Team of Millard Fillmore College, "Preparing for the Year 2000: Will
Buffalo's Minority Communit!es Be
Ready?- The seminar, schedul-4' from 13 p.m. in 104 Parker Ha ll . is free and
open to the ~ublic .

.. As we prepare for the year 2000 we
need to reach back and recreate family
units, return to the basic fam ily struc·
ture, "' she continued, .. and its relat ion·
ship to the community. neighborhood .
ch urch - everything.The break· up of the family structure
res ult ing in the predominance of oneparent homes is one of the main reasons
why drugs and unemplo yment have
become the problem they are today.
Sconiers said in an interview .
" It all has influence o n yo un g people ...
she explained . .. The family unit. as a
structure. needs to sta y together
intact. The young. bl,ack male need s a
father figure . Traditionally (the mother
is most often the parent in a o ne-parent
home). our gir ls tend to be stronger than
o ur males. yet not as independent. "
Sconiers believes that it is ,not onl y
tmponant for the famil y to stay together.
but to do things together in the community, neighborhoods and churches as a
means of reinforcing values.
Of these .. suppon systems ... Sco me rs
emphasized the imponancc of .. getting
the family back into the church .- However, she streued that the basic core of
this syllc:m baa to start at home.
·A person needs a role model and the
mother and father need to get back to
buies," the UB Law School graduate
said.

S

T

his is not possible in many instances
and Sconiers discussed the value of
mentor programs and programs that
teach effective parenting skills as a wa y
of "getting all families as close as possible to that basic structure. "If this occurs,
the cyclical process turns in favor of the
minority family with a structure that
includes aunts, uncle s, mece s and
nephews , Sconiers explained .
.. Community concern" is another area
Sconiers emphasized as a factor that can
help rebuild family life . "The notion IS
that you turn your heads away ( when
problems arise) , .. Sconiers said . ..( In Buf·

falo) when thert: is a crisis, people tend to
band together
there is a senst: of
co mmunit y." Sconiers poi nted ou t . howeve r. that Buffal o is o nl v one Ci t \' and

Sc hlegel , wh o runs the s how. Concerts
this year have run the gam ut from
chamber music of the 20th century Czech
co mposer Bohuslav Martinu to songs
and cha nts from 12th cen tu ry Spain .
Unlike the ave rage concert. where
those auending typically arrive decked
out in th ei r finest. the a mbi ance at the
Alle n Hall recital hall is info rmal. .. You
don't have to get dressed up to come _
u 's a radi o show:· said Schlegel, noting
that even the musicians don'\ dress up.
S he added that th e 7 p.m. sta rtin g time is
ideal for t hose who don't wis h to see
their enti re eve nin g d1 sappear in o ne
swoop.
The series has come a lo ng way si nce
Sch legel took over the re ins a little less
than 10 years ago. As its reputation has
mc re~cd a mo ng musicians. Schlegel has
found it easter to locat e mus1cians willing
to perform . .. The y come to me ... she
affirmed . She now fi nds herself in the
pos 1t1o'n of hav ang to turn d own artists
Joo kmg for a cha nce to pl ay once all of
1hc co nce n s a rc boo ked up.
"The a n ginal pu rpose was strictl y fo r
loc al art1sh . and I neve r made any effo rt
to co ntact peo ple ·I ro m else where." she
~a1d . Nuw. howe ver . musicians from
f-rcd oma. Roc hester. New York C it y
and eve n Was hmgto n, D .C. regu lar ly

these music1a n!&gt; ha ve what she described
a~ " Buffa lo co nn ec ti ons. " hailing originall y from Buffalo o r ha ving friends
!ro m Bu ffal o.
For Schlegel, Opu~ C lass ics Live 1s a
la bo r o l lo ve . Havi ng previous ly
a ppeared o n the series as a performe r,
(whlc h she co nt inues to do). she took
charge at a po1H when the series
appeared to be dy1ng. She serves as the
director. the typtst. the proofreader. as
well ~ th e woman on the telepho ne,
pe nn ing 1n d a te s. musicians a nd
repert o ire.
Ne ither she no r t he mus1c1a ns are pa.id
for tak 1ng part 1n O pus Classics Live.
Sc hlegel co mmcnoed . .. The o nl y people

tun·er and the technician who act ually
sets up the microphone and the tapes.
For musicians to come in and do it without s upport is really quite remarkable.
That they11 d o it at all is remark:able!"
Why then do the musicians do it?
According to
mUSICWlS
simply need a plai:e to perform. "There
aren' enouah outl
afffllo, particularl y flH the Phi\h a'imonic membe rs there a r c: very few other opportunities for
them to play." Sbc !Jd!led, "This really
fills a need for them~ They want to play!

''There

arc~so many unique tb.i.ngs
here," she said. The cooccrts are
hroadcast Hve. she observed. but since an
audience: is present, the performer is not
placed in the often uncomfortable situstion of havi ng to play or si ng in an empty
room in front of an impersonal. cokl.
microphone-. During its first years, tbC
series was broadcast live, but with· no
immed iate a udience for the performers
to look at. ..The musicians hated it." she
reco llected .
Above a ll, Opus Classics Live gives i"
performers almost.conapJetc.~ frcedo m at a time in which nontraditional
re pertoi re is often frowned upon else- •
where. T he only restriction is the onset of
the 8 o'clock. news, .although even this
one-hour limit has been extended i~ certain cases.
.. What I intended first of aJI was to let
my performers d o whatever they wa nted
to do. There are no restrictions, and
what has happe ned, if yo u just leave it to
the performers, they come in with the
most incredi ble stuff including world
premieres! ..
Schlegel ad ded, .. I think a lot of them
loo k on this as an opport unity to do
things they wouldn't norma ll y have: the
opportunity to d o.'"'
Running such a series is not without
its challenges ...There are performers
who ca ncel out at the last minute,
because they have a chance for a paying
job," she said . ... What a.r t you going to
say? It's tough to earn a living as a musiciao. There are performers whom you
Jove dearly and who perform marvelo usly, but don't. give you the program
notes until the absolute last m inute ~ and
that"'s only after you've had to phone
them fo ur times."'
Des pite s uch challenges, Schlegel considcrs he rself to have ironed out the basic
kinks in the system . .. l ~m in ll. routine. 1

Frysztacki says that social work in the
U. S. is mo re professio nall y oriented, and
gea red toward big institutions. He is
"s hocked " by the wealth of course offerin gs and formal training available here.
There is a difference, too , in professional
co mportment: .. Social workers in the
U.S. are very careful to protect their
rig hts in terms of th e profession, 10 stress
1he spec ial possi bilities of social work.
" In Poland . on the other ha nd , social
workers are in a re lat ively low profes·
s10nal pos ition . They don't play an independe nt professional role. Our initiative
al
Jag1e:llonian Universi ty is partly
devo ted to changing this rather unfortunate position . We would like very much
to sec social workers become more independent, more united in their professional roles.
''This is my dream , which is also, I
think, the dream of my students ...

though scholars in Poland are somewhat
fearful tRat the econoolic''Crtlnch could ·

so mething that is good. " ·
Right now, Frysztacki, aa:ompanied
by his wife, Ewa, is settling into campus life. lie111ead a colloquium ne~c-ni'onth,

Noting that the agreement with Jagiellonian is ... a promising one.ft Frysztacki
hopes that it can be broadened and tbat
the "first people who go to Poland (from
U B) will be from the School of Social
Work ."
The University's Offioe of International Programs is now seeking faculty

Why teaching won't move to top of academic hierarchy
By PHILIP G. ALTBACH

n the past year o r so, there has
been a drumbeat of concern about
the state of teachin g in America's
colleges and un iversities.
Stanford 's President Do nald Kenned y .
has be&lt;:n joined by Ernest Boyer's
Carnegie Foundat ion, U.S. News and
Wo rld Rt*porl and the states of
Virginia and Colorado. am o ng many
oth ers. in criticizing the quality of
teac hing and the attentio n paid by
academi c ins ituti ons a nd th ei r fa:culties
to instructio n. Teaching. they say, is
the primary missio n of a college or
uni vers it y and it has bee n neglected .
Fac ult y members. they say. d o not pay
attenti on to their teachin g. There is
inadequate assessment of leaching and,
where it exists, it is not taken very
se ri ously. In large- un iversit ies, too
mu ch of the undergraduat e teaching is
done by teaching assistants and jun ior
staff a nd not by the se nio r faculty.

"Let us not
expect a
revolution.. oreven a major
change in the
orientation of
the American
academic .
system."
-PHILIP G. ALTBACH

~~"

There is more th an a little truth to
these comments. But the allegations arc
hardl y new and they a re exagger.;lled.
More imp orta nt , academe ove r the
years has cre ated a comple x hierarchy
of act&amp; vu&amp; es in wh ich teach ing falls
~o mc w herc m the middle. A professor
doc&gt; not beco me: nati ona ll y wc: ll known
because he: or she 1~ a l1nc.: lca'-·hcr, bu 1
f&gt;r.ca use of visibilit y in resea rch and
scholarsh ip. Des pite this, surv~ys show
that facult y spe nd mo re time on
teaching th a n o n other acti vities and
th at. overall, they enjoy teaching.
F unherm orc , when America's
student.s are asked about the qual ity of
teaching, they almost invariably rate
their professors as good teachers.
Student.s are, overall, satisfied with the
quality of their education. Student.s do
not choose the most prestigious
universities b&lt;icause of the quality of
teaching but be&lt;:ause of the reputation
of the institution and its presumed
cachet in the job market. And
reputation is achieved by. faculty
research productivity.
Perhaps the current wave of concern
will rxsult. in more stress on teaching in
faculty evaluation, better assessment
tools and greater attention to teaching
in the preparation of Ph.D.s. AU of this
would be highly positive and would
improve the quality of American higher
education. But let us not expect a
revolution, or even a major change, in
the orienta tiorr of the American
academic system. There are reasons his torical a nd contemporary - to
explain the place of te aching in the
academic hiera rchy. The leade rs of
American higher educati o n - the
Kenned ys, Bok.s and others - have fo r
yea rs pressed their own facult ies to
co mpete fo r ex ternal funds - researc h
gra nts. i hi s th e professors have do ne
- oft c:n at t he expc n~ of a
co mm itm ent to und ergrad uate
instructio n. These gra nts have added
luster to th e universi ty, 1mproved
gradua te ms truction and at th e ~amc:
time have greatl y be nefited th e
u n iver~ily budget.

,,
of both the university's reputation and
that of the individual scholar. Teaching
is notoriously difficult to accurately
and fairly measure - how do you
evaluate doctoral -level mentoring
versus verbal pyrotechnics to 200
undergraduates? Research and
publication are symbolic of the cuation
as wcJI as the disumiruJtion of
knowledge - since tbe 19th century a
key function of univc~ities . Teaching
involves he transmission of knowledge.
Creation is more valued and mon:
visible than transmission.
One of the most important reasons
why teocbing will not move to tbe top
of the hierarchy is thl: academic
mvketplace. 1be selltr's market of the
past few decades is ending and the
professors will have greater control
over the conditions of academic work
in the coming decade. It is a simple
matter of demograpliics. There will be
,
many more job opportunities in
academe because of massive retirements
and growing demand. There is already
a shortage of young Ph. D.s in many
fields and as a result sala ries will be
slowly bid up a nd the " bu yers" - the
professors - wi ll have more contro l
ove r the terms a nd condit io ns of
academic wo rk. With out a massive shift
in th e mind-se t of most Ph.D.s. ma ny
job a pplica nts wi ll dema nd mod est
teaching loads a nd op pon un ities for
researc h. Th is is exactly what ha ppened
in th e 1960s. when S(verc shonages of
professors r~su lt ed in l ow~ r teac hing
loads - t he ve ry cond itiOns th at arc
now decried by the critics.
If t here W3!'&gt; ever a time ror a shift in
academic pnoritics. it was dunng the

significant to note that today's
administrative reformers were
encouraging the faculty to get research
grant.s to help out with deficits in tbe
budget. lo the past few yeafS. there has
be&lt;:n a renewal in the undergraduate
curriculum - spearbeaded,
signifiCantly enough, by many of the
research-minded professors now under
attack.
Part of the current agenda is an
implied "speed-up" in academic work.
Administrators are faced with several
problems. There is now some "price
resistance" to the very substantial
annual tuition increases of the past
decade in tbe private sector and
treinendous pressure on state budgets
in publiC higher education.
Administrators are trying to solve a
part of the ftseal problem by getting
more teaching from the faculty. It is
not only improved quality that is called
for, but more time spent in the
class room - higher teaching loads.
This may reduce pressure on academic
budgets but it bears absolutely no
relationship to improvi ng the quality of
instruction. Few have suggested that
pro fessors should do less research and
co ntribute less to the ad vancement of
science a nd scholarship - and no one
has encouraged professors to stop
a ppl ying for research grants!

W

hat has madC' A merica n
uni ve rs ities the en vy of the world
and the destinatio n of one-thi rd of the
wo rl d's foreign stud ents is science,
research and schola rship - not high
q uality teachtng. It must be kept in
mind that Amenca's rise to academic
eminence in the past ce ntu ry has been
mar ked by the tra nsfo rm ation of
Amenca n un iversities fro m an

orientation to teaching exclusively to ·'
one which combines research, teaching,
and involvement with applied
technology and set'VU to the societ)'. •
Are tnday's refortlleiS advocatiJtc that
we return to· the placidity and perhaps
the in loco p&lt;Jrrntis of an earlier .,e7
l.n tnday's world, when uni......WCS ilL
such countries ~ Japan, Korea,. and
Taiwan have looted tb American
higber education as~ model for
combining research, tacbinc and the'
integration of the unioec:sity with
economic developtnent, WC' may be
moving back to the 19th centtuy. This
would it&gt;evitably ha~ negative
implicatio111 fo( the American
economy.
·
Teaching, without questioa, is ooe of
the key elements of any colle&amp;e or
university. And there is no doubt that
tbere is much room for improvement,
Students, who have not. vociferously
complained about the quality of their
instruction, should perhaps tate more
interest than they have in teaching. We
do need better means of IISSCSSing
teaching and we need to tate teaching
more seriously in evaluating academic
wort. And it might be a. very good idea.
to ask professors who are not especially
productive in research and scholarship
to teach more and to institute. as soPle
have suggested, differentiated academic
responsibilities based on individual
·
career patterns. We should aeither
expect nor demand a significant change
in the orientation and ethos of
American higher education. There are
ma ny reasons why this is unlikely to
happen and why it would be an error
to try to implement it, even if it c;_oukl
be d one.

ha,.cmcnt of Oidcndorf H all
~Dancing is the best fo rm

of social interaction. because
you can mc:ct people from so
many different age gro ups,
cultures and professions ...
observes Barbara Dintcheff.
volunteer coordinator of
.. Friday Night International
Folk Dance: Line Dances

well as those from the
Mediterranean~ but we're also
getting into dances from Asia
and North and South
America. As we learn
different international dances,
we incorporate them into the
program."

B

ague, who is st udying
the history of social
dancing. believes all cultures
can learn from each other.
especially in the area of
dancing. Dancing is a form of
comm unication . .. When
people rrom other cultures
come here, they just movl'
when they hear the music."
Bogue says . ...The European
form of dancing. which tends
to dominate our culture. is
very formal and rigid; people
arc locked into their own
ce nter. their own at mosphere .
So. it's very different for them
v.hcn stud cnb frum d1fh:n.: nt
backgrounds come in to reach
out and touch someone !"
Social dancing, as Bogue

As competitive dana:~.
Bogue and her daughter
Ahnita see social dancing as
more than something to do
on a date. Bogue notes.
"When a gentleman takes a
lady out. he wines her, dines
her. and takes her dancing.
But why limit it to just that7 I
like to think of dancing as a
body-&lt;:Ontact sport. It's great
exercise, and can be
tremendously strenuous. You
easily burn 50-{,() calories an
hour."
Comm uni catio n within line
da ncing is more co mmunityorient ed as it involves more
people. acco rding to
Dintcheff. - we want to
in vo lve the whole community,
in and o ut of the Univc:~ity."
she says. "My philosophy is
to keep folk dancing alive and
spread it by bringing in young
pcoRJc. This can best be done
at the University. And you
can learn a lot about the
language and culture behind
these dances."

workshop's panicipanb.
named Wilto, was inspired to
usc the class for a sociology

came: here to sec: how each of
these people dances in the ir
own culture and found that
these different fonns of
dancing reflect cultural
attitudes from all ovc:r the
world . Since then, I have
become a regular and never
miss a day."
Wilto is not the only
regular in the line dancing
program_ Nathan Neil began
attending the workshop in
I972,. when he was a law
student at UB. "I've been
coming here CYa}' year since
then to teach Israeli dana:s."
Neil says. • A lot of people
have bttn coming here for a
long time. We like worlting
together. Icaming from each
other. and teaching others all
fonns of dancing."
While attending the
workshop. Neil met K.anti
Pitc:l, an engineering student
who has since moved to
Rhode Island. but comes
back. every year to dance: with
people he considers "a
family ." Pi tel says. "Nathan
and I started as amateurs. as
rookies in intc:mational
dancing. Every time I have a
long weekend . I come back
here. When you arc " i't
working and sleeping, what
do you look forward to? I
look forward 10 co ming here:
to dance, because, sudd('nl).

from Around the World ,"

sponsored by Life Worksho ps
and the Depanment of
Theatre and Dance . .. Above
all." she maintains. -it should
be fun ."
Next door to the: line
dancing works hop is a social
dance workshop , also

sponsored li"y Life
Workshops, taught by Ninita
Bogue , whose own philosophy
on fun concurs wi th

Dintchclrs. Now a Ph.D in
research and education. •
Bogue was a pilot until she
suffered a heart attack in the
early 1980s. Although
treatments robbed the feeling
in ber legs, she says dance
therapy helped her regain it.
She found &amp;hat "stamping the
ground regenerated the nerves
in my legs, so that I can feel
pretty weD again."
"Hey, this is fun!" Bogue
says. "I want to share my
happiness and gratitude for
my life by holding these
workshops for free and for
everyone to c:ome and enjoy ....

Both workshops strive for
an international flavor to
expose participants to
traditions outside of popular
American culture ... We teach
dances from all over the
world, many of which arc not
very popular outside of their
own count~." Dintchcff
explains. "We tend to
concentrate on Western and
Eastern 'European di.nces, as

defines it, involves an
expressive interaction bet ween
two people. This interaction is
not necessarily sexual, but
can be completely individual.
"It docsn' have 1 0 be
boy /girl - if you want to be
happy. just get up and
dance." Bogue says. "Social
dance is not just patterns. it's
expression. Once you get ,
down the basic step patterns.
you can do it the way you
want. You create it for
yourself. How it is expressed
is different for each couple,
because each bas a different
type of relation:s'hip."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

unusual approac h Lhat encourages the
documentary 's subjects to take a n active
pan in the makmg of the film . The result ,
accord ing to Eld e r. is a documentary
that po nrays a c ulture from within .
.. Filmmaking is traditionally very
hierarchical. .. said Elder , an associate
professor in U s ·s Department of Media
Studies in an interview in he r home .
" The line of command flows down from
the director and the film 's subjects have
no say in that even though the film is

subject of t~c interview, and so on . Then

T

he prOCG5s has an effect that is as
aesthetic as it is rncaling.
.. In this film we don't explain how the

The approach. which for Elder avo1ds

Th&lt;: title ·Of · the · film ofiginates in
ceremonies that the Yup'ik Eski m os have
practiced for 3,000 years tn Southwest
Alaska.
" It 's about their music and their dancing." said Elder. -and how it re!ate.s to
their spiritual lives both in the past a nd
in the present. It looks at the supp ression
of their dance cere mo nies by the missio naries and it looks a t 100 years of m issio nafy suppression . So the film abo
goes into missionary d1anes and jo ur nab , wh1ch arc very prejudiced and

wo men must often wo rk nigh ts or weeken ds to co mpete with their male counterpans for jobs. " We 're not thinking of

University. for wo rke rs o r students . And
I'm ve ry pleased with student e nro llment

Howeve r. th~ 1986 conference served

a n even greater purpose according to
Schmidt. "A lot of creative tbinkinKaDd
energy was taken back to the campuses
from that confen:occ," she explained.
What that creative energy did , aecorilmg to Schmidt, was spread the word
a bout the issues for Affirmative Action
programs throughout the SUNY system.
Representat ives from the various campuses were educated abo ut concerns
voiced at the conference:. She believes
that ki nd of education was a t least partially responsible for the progress over
the last four years.
However, Schmidt still sees much
work ahead, especially in- the area of
high-ranking officials in the SUNY system. "We'n: socialized to think of menu
authority figures. Women, although
they're qualified, are not moving up as
rapidly as one would expect." She points
out that although four SUNY schools
(Binghamton, New Palu., Old WeStbury
and Geneseo) have hired women to be
their presidents since 1986, the other 60
schools are run by men.
Men, according to Schmidt, an: oftentime affected by various Affirmative
Action issues. " Things like pan:ntalleave
affect men and women equally. I feel,
with regard to many of these issues, that
unless men are willing to understand
them a nd su pport them , we're not going

Pendergast says, has been mspired
by his earlier projects with C raig, but
many of the current studies often suggest
new directions for research. In a recent

study, Pendergast and his colleagues
co nsidered what effect enhanced wetgbt
training would have upon a swi mmer 's
performance.
-we took 15 members of the men's

between high and low speed groups

~ays . The resu lts also indicated the need
fo r further research into the speed of
muscular co ntract ion. which Pendergast
expects to begin work on soo n.
T he research . of co urse , is not meant
to co ntinu a ll y reproduce itself. but .. the
results or studi es done in one year tend to
be incorporated in the tr&amp;ning program
of the ne xt year ... Pendergast says.
C ommitting swimmers to this kind of
program. he believes, is risky for a swim
coach. for it not o nly requires a great
mvestment of time and energy. but also
lacks a guarantee_that the effort will pay

orr. -Both Budd and the lids have been
very receptive tci' this pr!'&gt;gram, whicb I
am grateful for," Pendergast says.
Termin, in tum, fcc:ls grateful to Pendergast . "Sirice this program was implc·
mented a nd we started working with
'Doc.' we have become the only · new

finished ninth in the nation. won 12 AllAmericans and 12 Honorable Mention
AII · Arncricans . .,
A ke y to this success. Termin believes.
has been the uniqueness of the training.
.. What we're seeing here is the training of
tomorrow ," Termin says ... A lot of the .
programs we compete against have more
resources and more "first-pick recruits.
T he hallmark. of o ur program is
im provement. Our rate of improvement
is greater than the ir... We 're catching up
faster than they are pulling away, and all
because the kids arc being trained
correctly."
Pendergast agrees. -certainly the collabo rative venture be-tween Athletics.
Physiology, and Nutrition is going to
give the team a ccn.ain advantage over
others," Pendergast says. '"The intenlisc;iplinary research approach is good for.
the 5wimmers tbemselves, because they
can see the academic process in actio~
and see bow all tbeoc various fields relaU:
to each other. I think this is an ideal

Manes noted that he. too. was sur pnscd by the vancty or textures when he
first played the instrument. These differ
cnccs can lead to significant changes tn
the way Lhe mtLo;.icia n conceives of a p1ccr
of music. Manes said . ...Tbis is particularly true of the bass, which is more distinctive and dear It draws attention to
~If in a way which a mode rn inst ru
incnt doesn't .

T

his is especially true in performing
music of Mo7.art. Manes noted .
wants to be dramatic. but you're
really Jimilod by the modem piano
beca use if you do to the music what it
really calls for . you run into the possibiiHy of sounding vulgar o r rough. whereas

lJ B's fo rte-prano was built by R lchard

nb!SCrvcd that UB's instrument is some-what d1ffetc:ot from the norm in that it
can be. tuned to the standard 440 A.
~This way it could be used with more

Manes ex pressed the hope that more
studen ts would usc the instrument both
for practicr and recitals. -one of my

The art of strengthening collegiality
By GEORGE HOCHFIELD
n a previous article I asked if
co_llegiaJity in campus governance
mrght yet he preserved despite the
triumph of the "presidential "
model of management, and I said 1
would offer some proposals to that
end. But first it ~ou ld he helpful to say
wh y I thmk thiS 15 somet hing won.h
doing. Do we really need collegiality?
Should we trouble ourselves to recover
somethtng we're not sure we miss and
which may not have a serious fun,ction
any longer in the presidentiallymanaged universit y?
Collegiality is not an empty
sentiment. At bottom. it is an
expression of trust and willingness to
eooperate among faculty and between
facuJty and administration. When these
are absent. faculty members feel and
act like employees in an alien and
indifferent institut ion. They turn
inward to thelr own jobs and confine
themselves to their own concerns. Wh y
bother abo ut anything beyond the
limits of yo ur own classroom or
laboratory. when you do not feel a
genuine sharing of hopes and
obligations between yourself and your
colleagues and the leade rs of the
univenlty?
The lack of trust th at lfl!)ptrn
disaffection stems primarily from o ne
cause: the absence of any real
accountability on the part of
administration toward faculty . In the
presidential system the administration
is accountable to no one (except SUNY
Central on matters of overall
expenditure). The President appears
before the Faculty Senate, but only to
divulge carefuUy selected items intended
primarily for the press. Most of the
time be prefers to talk about "tbe truly
outstanding progress of the University."

I

"Collegiality needs
nourishment at the
grass roots in order to
work' at the universitywide level. "
The Provost, on the other hand,
lectures the Senate in the guise of
Supreme Expert. In their eyes, plainly,
the Senate i5 not really a consultative
body. Their decisions have already been
taken. They might he pleased to have
them ratified, but they are
fundamentally indifferent to Senate
actions. They are not accountable.
How, then , may accountability, and
its corollary, collegiality, he
strengthened?
I) First of all. the Faculty Senate
ought to get a thorough re~xamination
to see if new life may he breathed into
it. Many faculty are utterly cynical
abo ut at. It seem!. t o prese rve: the jurm
of co ll c: gaaht y but not the: !.Ubstancc
The attitude of the administration is. of
course. to blame for lhis, but so is the
cynicism (or indifference . or
demoralization) of faculty . Rc:lauvely
few vote in Senate elections; members
don't bother to report to thei r
constituencies; meetings are held
witbow notice to tbe faculty at large of

the time or topics to he discussed; and,
when a burning issue: is not o n the
agenda, it is sometimes hard even to
muster a quorum .

evert~eless. the: Sc:~atc remains the
most tmport a nt means available
for the articulation of faculty
perspectives on University affairs. Its
debates are sometimes impressive - as
for example, on the Faculty of Law's '
proposed n:gulation of recruitment. To
cope with some of its weakness the
Senate probably needs reform witb
res"""'! at least to: I) its elections, 2)
publictty and openness to faculty
partrctpauon, and '3) committee ef- ·
fectiveness. I think a special committee
of members and non-members ought to
he appotnted to study its organization
and functioning, and propose changes
for its improvement.
2) A new compact is needed between
· the UUP and the Senate. The UUP has
always hebaved irrationally with respect
to facult y participation in governance.
At this very moment, in fact, it is
charging SUNY with violating the
Taylor Law beeausc the University
Faculty Senate critipized it on
... management-supplied stationery,"' a
legalism typical of our uni on leade rs.
Interestingly, the question at issue
conce rn s Se natt' "uppn rt fo t f:.u: u ll ~
sena te representation o n the Board of
Trustees and tbe local Councils.
... Elevation of the senates to policymaking positions would he a
continuing threat to our bard-won
coUective bargaining rights."
Whatever one may tbin.lr: about this
particular issue, it is evident that the
UUP and Mr. Sample are on the same
side: neither wants the faculty to take
part in campus governance. Both want
a wboUy professio11al management
confronting a body of employees wbosc
interest in their univenity runs jl&amp;ll to
the limits of their contract, and no
further. But the idea that coUective.
bargaining n,hts are threatened by an'
actM: fiCUlty aenaU is nonscDJe. And
the idea ~ a healthy univenity is
secwul by a union contract is foUy . In
actuality, the union and the senates
have no sisnificant conflicts of intereSt.
On our campus {if not in Albany) !bat
oeems to be senerally uodentood. I
urge the leadership of II¥ local chapter
to sive serious thought to bow it might
cooperate with the F ICUlty Senate in
strengthening the fiCUlty role in
educational policy-making.
3) A!; a frnt step, the union , the
Senate, and the AAUP ought to
coUaborate-in devising a method for
the r:valu&amp;tion of administrators. (A
beginning has been made in the help
given by the UUP to distribute the
results of the recent AAUP faculty
suzyey.)"Sucb an evaluation is absolutely essential to making the administration accountable to faculty. Mr.
Samp&amp;e is a president who never has
to run for n:--election, and whose term
in office is open~ed . That's not
healthy for us or even for him. We
need a well-thought-out, institutionalized way of lelling the President
himself, and other interested parties
(like the Board of Trustees), know bow
well or ill he and his as.sociates are
do ing in the eyes of his peers.
4) Collegiality needs nourishment at
the grass roots in order to work at the
university-wide level. It is in the departllM!nts ·and •fia.eUI\lc:StJNhem..aca-.1. 1: \ .:

demic citizenship is cultivated ; I suspect
that the public discussion of isoues
within the FICUltic:s, aDd even within
many departments, bas been dying out
10 recent years. But if faculty really
want to play a part in llDivenity
governaooe, they have ID take ~&lt;:riously
their roles in local go'11a111Dtt. I urp:
my colleagues ID loot for ways of
reviving genuiDe consultatiw: prc&gt;eedures in their FICUlties and if
necessary, in their departmcnb also.
In this connection, one point is of

of deans, and insist that dea:,. be
persons of academic stature. Furthermo..:, deans, too, must be held acco untable to faculty. It is a travesty for
a de an to make himself visible: only on
cercmomal occasions an order lO band

Perhaps the most importan\ single sJep
the faculty can take to restore their ·
own dignity is to restore the dignity 'of
the office of dean.

Give public safety

a. ..h.~fJ.~ . p_~iority
EDITOR:
A year or so ago, my wallet was stolen
from my offttt, unfortunately DO( a rare
occum:nee. I called Public Safety, and
diSCOvered tbat the identifiCation of the
likely suspect (with his distiJictive stutter)
and his modus operandi were well known
10 them. u, he had obviously been
operating for a while: on campus. 1be
Public Safety offoccrs acted effrcicntly to
oppr&lt;:heod and arrest th is man; be was
tried. convicted, and jailed. and some of
the goods he.bad stolen, although not the
money. were returned to tbe owners.
On 22 October, l heard rumors that a
st uttering man with the same m.o. had
stolen a wallet from a neighboriqs
.
buildin&amp;- Next I heard a rumor that tbe
same _thief had stolen • wallet in my
butkhng not a prior. r was rathe{
upset tbat this ~ was again a tHreat,
and no offocdl Wanting had been given_
Immediately I bcpn informing my
colleagues. and was appalled to find that
many people had seen him in restricted
areas of my buildins in the last few
weeks. and dido' report it: not ruliring
that he was a convicted thief. The
n:asonabh: question arose as to why his
prcture wasn' posted all oW:r the
building. I then discovered that a request
to Public Safety fo r this man's piet ure
days pr&lt;:viously had not yet produeed
one. A scco~ request did elicit a prompt
response. and we are now in the pr~
of posti ng his photo to alert everyone fo
1hc lhrcal of his pn:!&gt;Cncc.
l.md01 YaJcm w&lt;c. lulled r unn1ng an an
a rc01. where prcva ou) ;!S.)auii.S had been

known to occur. yet no one had been
warned by Public Safety, even though
they knew of the dangers in the ~a.
Their explanation? It wasn't a campus
crime. This was no excuse. o( course.
And yet now here are crimes beinJ
commiltcd on campus. by a person whose
identity' and mode of operation are ""'II
known to our ·Public Safety ofroccrs. and ~.
.who has (I !lear by rilmor) been banned
from the campus. yet the people at risk
have to hear about it by rumor and
@OSSip. If the 'people who had spoued this
man in -previous weeks had been alerted
to immediatdy notify Public Safety.
perltaps he would be apPrehended apin
already: if his picture'had been up-on

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

The Kuwaiti government and people.
acco rd ing to AJ-Sabah, are grateful for
the q uick res ponse of the United States
" to en d and reverse this aggression on
the part of Saddam Hussein ." AI-Sabah
believes t hat the United Sta tes' .. swift"
action attracted the s uppo n fro m the 27
nat io ns who currently have troops statio ned in Saud i Ara bia . "'The whole
wo rld. " the ambassador mai ntained.
" has bro ught in th e verd ict of guill y
upo n Iraq ."
lraq1 leader Saddam Hussein 's claim
tha t Ku wai t was a pa n. of Iraq i territory
befo re imperialist co lo nizati o n has no

relevance to the prese nt, AI-Sabah
argljtti . "In 1932, when Iraq became
indePendent , we signed a trea ty with
Iraq, identifying our borders a nd our
nations,.. AI-S abah said . .. After we
became ind ependent in 1963, Lh1s same
Iraq signed a treaty with us, reco gnizing
o ur independence and o ur sovereignt y...
AI -Sab a h also defended Kuwait
against Hussein's charges that Kuwait
stopped financing Iraq's military after
the war with Iran ended. by claiming that
the runds were loans. "' During the IranIraq war , we stood behind Hussein
financial ly, spiritually. diplomatically.
and in many other ways ," AI-Sabab said .
.. This cos t us over S30 billion, but these
were never regarded as lo ans. They were
co ntributions. because we believed Iran
was a source of instabilit y fo r the balance
o r po wer in the Mideast. "

N

ow. the threat is co ming fro m the
Hussei n regime, AI -Saba h said. "If
such a brutal dictatorship is allowed to

continue, and ls allo wed to occupy lands
and displace people, we are going back
to the 1930s, where such aggress ions
were permitted and led to the even ts
creating World War II," AI-Sabab
warned.
"' You can not imagine how painful it is
fo r anyo ne to leave his homeland , .. AI Sabah said. "The situation inside the
co untry is as horrible as it can ever get.
Iraqi soldiers are raping women, killing
children, dismantling our hosp itals. One
can not get any medicaJ care there now ...
Nonetheless, Kuwait is committed to
finding a peaceful way of ruolving this
co nflict, Al-Sabah maintained. " We will
leave no stone untumcd in o~ r search, ..
AI-Sabah said. " Unfortunately, it is not
our decision. It is in the hands of Saddam Hussein to come to terms with the
situation, and accept withdrawal ...
During ' half-hour question and
answer period, A I-S a bah was questioned
on a variety or issues, mostly concerned
with deployment of U.S. troops in Sa ud i

Arabia, and the political nature of
K..uwait,s exiled governmeoL
One member of the audience u ked if
the presence of U.S. troops will contri~
ute to the recolonization or the Arab
world, aod if we can expect Huacin's
actions to afrect the "feudal status quo"
of Arab sovemments.
"U .S. troops are part of an international foa:c to counteract Iraq. We all
have common interests. values, and principles," AI-Sabah responded. "The U.N.
charter gives every nation right to selfgovernance. That won' chanae. Kuwait
itself is a democratic system. We have a
co nstitution, a Parliament, quite similar
to governments in Europe. Simply
beca use we a rc not a total republic d oes
not make us no n-democratic."'

A

not her member o f the audience
c ha llenged the a mbassador 's response by indicating that not only are
women and another 60 percent of the
population not given the right to vo te,
but also the Emir silences opposition in a
state-&lt;:ont rolled press and in the elections. "'U .S. troops are not going to solve
anyt hing," the spea ker said . "The people
wi ll solve the problems."
AI-Sa bah argued that the population
st ructure of J(uwait (before the invasion)
is divided between citizens and nonnationalized immigrants. " Our developmental programs are so ambitioUs, that
we bad to import our labor frOm other
co untries, which makes up that 60 percent," AJ-Sabah said.
" In your own count ~ , you don' have
the right to vote unless you are a citiz.cn, ..
he said . " Also, it took this country and
the rest of the world a long timer to
enfranchise women. So, before any of
these things can happen, things have to
be formulated ." ,
In a noon press conference at the
Jeanette Martin Room, AI-Sabah said
Saddam Hussein must either withdraw
from Kuwait under U.N. Security Council provisions, or face a "muli inational
force. " The recent failure of a Sovietpeace initiative i.s a maj.or sctblick, ~
Sabah said, thougb be cxprased hope
for a peaceful solution to the crisis.
Asked whether Hussein is a "madman,"
AI-Sabah said such a determination i.s up
to the psychological experts. Rather, the
Iraqi leader is, in the view of the Kuwaiti ·
diplomat, a man who i.s "crazy but calcuD
lated in his policies. ~

SUNY budget: $1.5 billion, no request for tuition hike
he SU NY Board of Trustees
last wee k a pproved a S 1.5
billio n bud&amp;et request for 1991 92. a 4.1 increase th at does not
11'\cl ude a tuition hike.
Go\ C uomo said recentl y that the
sta te's eco nomic woes may force him to
co ns1der raising tuitio n. so mething ho
has vigo ro usly o pposed in the p ast. In
1989 . he vetoed th e tuitio n increase
passed by the Legislature. S UNY tuiti on
has bee n Sl ,350 a year since 1983.
Co mmenting o n th e bud get request.
SU NY Chancello r D . Bruce J ohnstone
said , "'This is a responsible operating
budget reques t that recogn izes the fmancial d ifficulties facing the state. h comes
at a time when the University is reeling
inc reasing pressures as a result or record
enrollments." It is, additionally, a "chaJ..
lenging" and "aggressive" budget, be told
the Buffalo NtwJ. The SUNY request
essentially maintains this year's budget,
which wu S50 million less than the Trustees had sougbt originally.
" If we ask for more, we would begin
losing our credibility," Johnstone told
th e Nt ws. -Less and we would lo.e otrr

T

no lon ge r be a playe r in th e bud get
process ...
Johnst o ne add ed t hat t he pl a n
attempts to preserve ex istin g suppo n
levels, recognizing the impact of inflation
and contractual salary in creases. M o re
th an 75 perce nt of the increase wo uld

to offset a ponion of the S20 million in

said a SU N Y spokespe rso n. This is
re po rtedl y th e s ma lle st pe rce nt age
req uested increase in at least 15 years .
The S tate Unjvcrsity is seeking abo ut
$9.2 million more in undergraduate education and student services. Another S8
million is being sought to restore scheduled increases for the Graduate Research
Initiative, and to expand mino rity graduate rcUowships and graduate student
support.

nother S3 million is sought for
library automation and $2.69 miltion · more to cover the ·cost of opening-

new buildings. "In an effort to respond
to growing statewide needs , .. an additi onal SI. B million is being requested for
sa tellite broadca st bus iness courses,
ph ysical therapy programs, a mentally ill
chem ical abuse research and education
program and small business development ce nte rs .
SU NY is a large and co mplex system,
said Johnst one, but "it is relatively small
as measured by the proportion of New
Yo rk State colleae st ud ents attending its
campuses or by the percentage of state
bud get that it co nsumes or by its expend itures o r revenues per SI,OOO or state
personal income ... He said he was gratified that "national publications are shining a spotlight on some of the outstanding educational values available at
SU NY campuses."
The Trustees also approved a S332.4
million capital construction budget for
19111-92 at the 34 state--operatod/funded
cam puses.
More than 70 percent of the fnnds
requested would be met with long-term
bonding through the use of non~tate
_. 1\(lkl~ Irving H. FIU:dman, vice chancel-

lor for capital facilities, said last week.
These monies would allow continued
work on projects already under way and
provide planning money to begin daign
of remaining new projects identified in
the Trustees' master capital plan.
"The fiJUre does include planning and
construction funding for the School of
Medicine building," said Voldemar
lnnus, UB associate vice im:'#4,ent for
univenity services.
lnnus added that "there will be allocations that are projecHpecific as well as
lump sums to address priority issues
across SUNY, for example, needed
infrastructure repair
roofs ·and1 I'm
sure, health and safety issues u weu." .
Inn us said the Univenity's best indication "of wbether these requests will be
supportod in the 19111-92 fllcal year will
be the release of the Governor's Budaet

about the possible dange.-. posed by
earthquakes and the precautionary measures that can be taken.

inquiries from Western New York. And
we offer seminars on earthquakes here at
NCEEIL People from all over the world
speak in a forum that is free to the public," explained Goralski.
Educating the public about how to
rQICt in the event of an earthquake is
fundamental to Goralski. " I think we 'rc
starting to get to that kind of education.
When people pc ceive a risk.. that 's when
they do things."
Some suggestions to follow for earthquake. preparedness include learning
ftnt aid and CPR techniques, knowing
wbcrc the fuse box and the gas and water
shut-&lt;&gt;ff valves arc in your home, bolting
heavy appliances to the wall or floor and
bavin&amp; an emergency plan that is clear
and well thought out.
Goralski believes that people are
~ ;innins to take t.hcsc kinds of precautions in their homes and workplaces. "I
think it's clear that there is a greater
intaat in Western New York ud New
Yort State overall with regard to preparalioa aod aafcty," !&gt;e said.

In addition to the release of the laboratory animals, other areas of the medical

report that several cabinets were: broken

open "virtually 24 hou.-. a day," he said .
"It is diffiCUlt to keep it secure at all

P

involved. some animals released by the
vandals wen: infected with a human
pashosen. Because there is no way of
knowing which animals are so affected
the animals in question will probabl~
have to be destroyed, he said. Although
there is no way that the vandals could
ha_vc themselves been contaminated by
this particular pathogen, they did not
know that. Loverde emphasized , and so
could have put themselves and others at
serious risk.

he UB Laboratory Animal Facility is
operated under strict guidetioes of the
New York State Department of Health
and U.S . Dcpanment of Agriculture.
Regular unannounced inspections by

Service.
UB purchases mammals from reputable commercial animal breeding companies or deale.-. licensed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Currently, 85 research projects arc
under way at UB in which approximaldy
25,000 animals are used. The larJe
majority - 20,000, or approx.imatdy
per cent - of the animals are rats or
mice. Other animals commonly uaed in
research projects at U 8 arc: sea urc:hins,
snaili and fub, rabbits, hamst&lt;:n, piuea
pigs, fuh, and some dogs, cats, abcep,
goats, pigs and primates.

including Alzheimer's disease. many
fonos of cancer. drug dependency, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, tuthritia,
tooth and gum disease and disordcn of
the heart , lungs and other organ systems.
Animals have played a vital and
important role in many areas of research
at UB, including research which led to
the development of the implantable cardiac pacemaker; methods to harvest and
purify surfactant, which is used to save
the lives of babies born prematurely;
dental research to control oral diaeaae;

Tbe playwrights addressed thcir experiences as women in tradjtiooal Islamic
cultu~ through open dialogue and
through their plays. Tbey were part of a
series of theatre events sponsored by the

France , who began the first conference
held in UB and the Buffalo Theatre District in 19gg_
AI Mani 'A 's play, Only a Half, deals
with the rejection of Iraqi women in the
workplace and out of their homes, while
Go usheguir's play, Prqnant, depicts the
period of a young Iranian woman's
unwanted pregnancy, wh ich coincides
with the Iran-Iraq war.
Behi Henderson, publicity director for

shared their experience as writers struggling to be beard, to contribute their
knowledge to a society that often overlooks or does not recogniz.e the intellectual accomplishments of women.

S

amira AI-Mani'A , who has lived in
London for 25 years, feels that
women in her country have undergone
some dramatic changes in recent years,
and yet still face many stigmas.
.. While women are encouraged to go
to school and seek an education, a
woman is still confronted with the problem of 'acting like a man' if she is too
much of an intellectual or if she speaks
her, mind," she said.
According to Al-Mani'A, this comes
from the traditional idea that a woman
should always use her body and never
her mind.

Gomheguir wou1d like to sec the
wom.en...of Iran. =ognizcd..oot only as
mdividuals, but as writers, poets, and
novelists. '"There arc many women in my
co untry who have done great things.
have written many novels, short stories,
plays, and poems," she said. "But,
because of political reasons, we never sec
them."
Two of Gousheguir's plays, however,
were performed in Tehran before tbe
ascendancy of the present government.
She now resides in Iowa, where, along
with Al-Mani'A, she is currently serving
as playwright-in-residence at the Universi ty of Iowa's International Writing
Program.
In addition to her residency in Iowa.,
AI Mani 'A is a fiction writer and editor
of Al-lglrtirab a/ Adabi, an Arabic literary mqazine . .She bas also written two
0
novels which were banned in Iraq.

Council endorses $35 fee
$35 transportation fee that
would replace the bus, parking. computer,Iab and graduation fees could go into effect at
UB this spring, pending approval by
President Steven B. Sample.
The University Council at its most
recent meeting passed a resolution introduced by student member Kenneth
Gage. It endorses the University Bus
Service Committee~ recommendation to
charge faculty and staff a transportation
fee and to reconsider preferred parking
for these groups in the event that contractual arrangements prevent UB from
charging these groups a transportation
fee.
President Sample said that while he
can now support the measure, be must
reserve' the filbt to reject it in case of
financial exi&amp;encY.
"I am in suppon of it." be told the
council Oct. 18. "But I need to say.
1 cannot deleplc to this council the fiscal
respouibility for operatinl this campus
wblch · bu bees auipcd to me by tbe

A

State University Trustees. : . . Under the
conditions as I now know them, I can
support this resolution ... .I would intend
to good faitb to imp1c:ment a transportation fee for the spring se mester as an
experiment.
.. But if in the next month or two
months. something happens in terms of
our budget, something major. and if I
feel that because of that financial occurrence I cannot in good faith follow this
resolution, I will come back to the council and explain the si tuation."
p

Last week , tbe SUNY Trustees
approved a resolution amending the
Traffic &amp; Parking Regulations in a
manner that allows the transportation
fee to be introduced here.
In late SeptembeT, a special University
committee act up to stndy the busing
issue, recommended a transportation fee
for all wbo use the campus bus service or
park on campus. Thu could prove an
ahemative to tbe busing fee, the commit0
tee said in iu report.

THERE GOES
ANOTHER OF THOSE
THROBBING
HEADACHESWHAT CAN YOU DO
ABOUT IT?

By SUE LEE

Reporte&lt; Staff

E

""'Y day, millions of Americans

come down with one of the

most common ailments in the
Unita! States - a beadacbc:.
According to Kenneth Murray, assistant professor of neurology at UB. a bad
headache is one of tbc: most common
complaints people bave wben they visit
their doctor.
Tbc: most common of headaches is the
tension headache. which is brought on
by stress. "'Someone witb a tension beadacbe usually feels a tightness around tbe
scalp, as if there is a rubber band around
tbe bead," Murray said.
For tension bcadachc:s, Murray wiU
usually pracribe simple pain relievers
such as aspirin, Nuprin and Advil Other
less commonly used drugs such as mild
tranquilizen and anti-depressants an:
also effective in rc1ieviJ13 bead pain.
"Mikl tranquilW:n and anti-dcprcsADts ~ worlt wdl because of their antipain alia as anti~ properties," said
MWTlly.
"lf wo: .scc tbat tbe patient is involved
in a very strt::s:sful situation, we may n:fer
ttim or ber to a psychiatrist." Murray
corn..mentat
·
This usually bappens wben tbere an:
oo physical, or medical causes behind tbe
bcadachi:_
"Wben all medical causes for head-

aches an: ruled out, w.: tben try to look
at it as a ~ problem," said
Barbara Umikcr, a counsdin3 psychologist at the Uoivenity Counsdin3 Center.
"We initially try !o identify the "stresson, .. or the things that arc causing the
person stress, wbct.hcr it be from taking
on an overly bec:tic scbeduk, problems
with asscrtiveoc:ss, or pn:s.sun: to do well
m school, .. said Umikcr . ... From t.bc:re. ~
attempt to help the person deal more
effectively with their stress -related

problems."
Some methods used to alleviate stress
are relaxation techniques. meditation
and sometimes self-hypnosis.
Both Murray and Umiker agree that
most tension headaches are aUeviated
once stress is reduced or eliminated.
Another very common headache is
known as the migraine. "'Migraines are
most common among fcmalc:s, or those
who have a 'Type A penonality,'" Murray said . "A Type A penonality il usually a bigh-strung perfectionist and
work.a.bolic."
Murray also noted that tbe migraine
headacbe is tbe most painful. "A
migraine beadacbc prnduocs a throbbing
pain, and can affect one's speech or bring
on na~ vomiting.. or disturbances of
vWon." explained Murray. •A person
witb a DJ.iuainc may sec spots, jagged
lines, or even lose part of his I ber vision."

wbctbcr to pracribe ao abortive treatment, which is to wait for the bCadacbcs
to begin taking medication, or a prcventivt: treatmc:nt.., which requires that the
patient lake mc:dK.ation daily to prevent
th&lt; onset of tbe beadacbc:.
... Patients who have headaches cvt:ry
six months will tend to choose tbt: abortive method . while others, whose head aches arc more frequent , will choose the
prcvt:nti~ method, .. noted Murray.
The third calegory is the cluster head ache, which is usually triggered by alcohol or stress. They usually come in ...clusters, .. or a set pattern every few weeks. or
every few months . .. A person may have a
cluster headache, be: free of it for a whik.
and may encounter il again in a few
weeks or· months," said Murray.
The cluster hcadacbe tends to be very
common in midd~agcd males. and can
be identified by a "sharp, stabbing pain
behind tbc eyes that last anywhere from

"When all medical
causes for headaches
are ruled out, we then
try to look at it as a
psycho-social
problem."

T

be exact causes of the miuaioc
headacbc: ..., still not yet entirely
undcntood by doctors, according to
M WTllY _ '"Ibc nervous system responds
abDormally to certain things in tbe
bloodstream."
T rcatments for the DJ.iuain&lt; beadacbc:
varies with the individual. Th&lt;: doctor
usually determines what kind of treat mcnt is appropriate for each patient by
taking fact on into account, ~uch as ago:,

Another k:ss common cause of

· "Some: warning ~ of a bcain tumor
arc: a change in pcnonality, exa:ssivo;

and diffiCulty in walking.

Most headaches, instead, an: brought on
by stress or a poor diet. '"Ibc best way to
avoid common headaches. •• advises
Murray ... is to avoid putting too much
stress on yourself and to avoid eatin•
foods tbat can trigger headaches, like
alcohol caffeine and chocolate."
Paul Bluestein, a doctor of chiropractic, who led a recent UB L.if&lt; Workshop
on "Oh, My Aching Head ," agrees that
diet and environmental factors must be
taken into consideration..
"Then: arc millions of Americans
whose blood sugar wiU drop as tbeir caffeine level shoots up after baving their

"Inquiry" course boosts averages

--Stall

By PATRICIA DONOY_,AN

E

duc:ation rcsearcbcn at UB
have developed a counc in
critical tbiokin£ that has
dramatically improved the
academic perfonnanoc of 62 perceut of
the students who completed it over the
past three years.
The UB r=arcben n:pon that 769 of
the 1,2:50 non-first semester students who
completed the course. called Methods of
Inquiry, since its introduction in 1987
bavt: raised their grade point averages
from .2 to 3.2 points in only one
semester.
The greatest improvement was shown
among 401 students who were: at serious
academic risk. Eighty-four percent of
these students improved their academic
averages with a mean inc~ of 1. 1
grade points. Student grades in the
Methods of Inquiry course: wt:n: not used
in calculating comparisons.
The course, developed through a
$235,000 grant from the U.S. Department
of Education Fund for the Improvement
of Post Sccond.-ry Education, bas
proved so sucoessful that U B has been
asked by more than 100 colleges and
univenitics throughout Nonh America
to provide them with program deuils.
John Thorpe, UB's via: provost for
undergraduate education aod dean of the
University UndergTaduatc College, said
that even before the research report was
compiled, conventional campus wUdom
bdd that Methods of lnqniry "worked."
"In the five semester&gt; it\ been offered."
he added, .. every section in the course
bas been lillcd to capacity with studeou
representing a heterogeneous crosssection of the university uodergraduate
population. Participanu so far number
more than 1.800 freshmen to seniors,
with grade point averages ranging from
O.Oto4.0."
To determine specific outcome for
students, the University reviews the grade
point average: of all panicipants prior to
their enrollment in the coune and oocc
they have completed iL
Using the norms established by the
Learning aod Study Strategies Inventory,
U B researcbcn kept track of student
development and assessed course
efTcctiveoess. In addition to improvemenu in students' grade point averages,
n:searcben said participanu colllisteotly

Thorpe said another reason the U B

he reached into the

This SC%nario is played out
in over a million bomcs each

"lluu's why -n hen:,"
she said. "We want to teocb

"Child~= love to imiU1c,"
she continued. -n.cy see what
you do, so they try to be like

that ' If I set sick mommy will

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Financial squeeze 'seve~',
Sample tellS Council
By ANN WHITCHER
Aeponer ECSIIOr

he University 1s
requesting a
budget of $221.4
million for
1991-92, an increase of
$7.3 millon over the
current budget base.
In formulating its budget requesl, the
University finds i tself ac a crossroads,
P=ident Sample said in p=enting the
budget to the University Council last
Thursday. Its academic cxceUencc is
threatened by fiscal woes even as it
enjoys such heightened prestige, as came
from the: recent recognition from U.S
NeW. &amp; World Report.
... We're in a very tough situation, ..
Sample told the council. " We've done
better than the vast majority of SUNY
campuses. We've done better than an
awful lot of public universities that are
also in trouble. (But) the financial crunch
is very severe. The busing demonstrations, the (formation) of the bus service
committee, are manifestations of an
underlying budget crisis."
The budget crisis, said Sample, isn'
just at UB or in the state. "This country
bas lived way beyond its means and is
entering ~ period of very constrained
=ources
Sample also presented his annual
.. Report to the University Council," in
which be outlined the University 's
accomplishments, goals and areas of
concern (sce &lt;i noerb ·lot .fuUd.,x.t-j,

The University, said Sample, saw a
year of honors for its faculty, a record
amount of external fund.ing, and the
recruiting of several renowned facuh y to
its ranks.

H

e also praised the accomplishments
of the Undergraduate College
wh.icb is attempting to reinvigorate the
undergraduate curriculum through several new programs, and noted UB's ability to attract some of the state's finest
high school graduates even as that pool
declines statewide.
For the fall, 1990, UB remains the fmt
choice among SUNY I!Jiplications, said
Sample, with some 1,000 more applications in every entry category than any
other SUNY univenity or coUege.

among the top ten percent of the nation's
doctoral-granting institutions with
respect to postdoctoralenroUmeoU." the
president noted.
According to Sample, the Univenity is
"th.e most racially and ethnically diverse
of tbe SUNY campuses in terms of the
overall percentage of the student population comprising memben of underrepresented minorities." ThroQib various programs. be said, UB ia able to
offer some form of finaDcW aaillaace to
mo~ than SO percent of all iU uDderrepresented minority sr-iuatc lllldeats.
However, said Sample; .1919-90 was
also a year of great ~I:IDCDia.
-rbe &lt;;lllllUlative cffcr:IS of~~ ja ,
our state operating butiJI\et~ tJoi ~ .

fucal year, have jeopard~~~: ,
tum that we have worked s li1fd fa'Jld so I
long to build. We must therefore be creative and agressive in fmding ways to
sustain prog=s toward our gop! of
becoming one of the nation's top ten
public research universities."
iting the advantages of the 198S
flexibility legialation that allows the·
University.to mo~direc:tly lll&amp;Doii(IC more
of its resources, Sample noced lbe a !
for careful stcwardsbip of th- resources and anoounced the cieation of an
internal control pi'08JUI"In addition, • said Samp.le, "we have
relied increasingly on external funding
from grants and private funds administered through the University 81 Buffalo
Foundation, " addipa that the UBF bas
raised nearly half of its SS2 million aoal
in the "Pathways to Grcato!'n"

C

"In addition," said Sample, "demand
for admission to UB's ~uate programs has continued to grow, due in pan
to programs such as the Presidential Fellowships and the SUNY Underrepresented Minority Fellowships."
Too, the, number of postdoctoral students has increased by 34 percent since
1986, while the number of post-M.D.
- ; nterns and residents bas grown by more
than 29 percent during the same period.

Welbourn aims high for UB funding
By MARK E. RUFF
Reporte&lt; SlaH

n spearheading fund-raising efforts
at UB, David Welbourn aims bigh.
·we expect to have a substantial
effect upon life at U 8 in almost
every conceivable way," be' told the
~port~r in a recent interview_
As tbe new UBF vice prcsK!ent for development, Wclbourn fmds most of bis
time is devoted to bringing in the bucks

lAiccs prcadena:.
~In a nutsbell. it's our responsibility to
bring to tbe Uni~ity major new private sources of funds and get them
involved and get them to be generous. So
far, that's working."
Welboum explained that private funds
give the Univcnity greater flexibility
than regular appropriations or endowment income. Tbcsc funds can suppon
major new additions to financia.l packages as wcU as teaching and n:scan:h.
Welboum's acrivaJ from Tufts University comes at an opponune time for U 8 .
He noted that the University is in the
midst of a $52 million ~Pathways to
Greatness" campaign, wltlcb has just
reached the midway point. .. Another

hensive campa~gn like this ... Wei bourn
said . '"Some arc: ahead of us; most art:
way behind us."
As for a typical day in the life of a
development officer, Welboum observed
that the routine changes from day to day.
"The officer's life should be dominated
from the minute you walk in here with
contacts with people who are capable of
making gifts that will make a differentt
bere."
Welbourn spends time on the tele phone, exhorting prospective individuals
or companies to make a donation to the
Unive,..ity. And be makes house caUs as
weU as excursions to other cities and
He recounted a previous trip

to Spain which lasted less than 24 hours
hut .-.eucd Tufts Univei-sit y Sl million .
,, ..: spend an awful lot of time in airpons," Wei bourn quipped. explaining
that many prospective donors arc not
within driving distance of Buffalo.
For development officers. the trick is
to link the prospective donor with the
University . .. You shouldn't come here:
and say, 'Now what do I do?' You should
come berc saying, 'I sec pediatric oncoloc is good ben:. I k:now who supports
pediatric oncology. I wiU call him this
morning.'"
ensitivity to the interests of the
prospective donor is paramount.
Before Welboum left Tufts, be landed a
donation of $1,200,000 for a chair in
Medieval Armenian An and Architecture.
...That came about because of ongoing
wann, personal discussions with the
donor, .. be said ..It) more a personal
relationship in that way than a business
relationship, finding out what we were
~~ at that the donor was interested
on.
Development Officers have to be what
Wei bourn called ~wicked generalists,"
able to discuss athletics and Eliz.abethan
literature with equal agility. A knowledge of philanthropy is essential to
determine which individuals or compan ies arc capable of making the big gifts
UB needs.

renewing lost tics with U B. "I called up
one of these guys the other day and said.
'You haven't had much contact with UB
in the 28 years since you've graduated .
How would yo u lik.e a visit, with a report
of current events?' And he said , 'Great !
Where 've you been?' "
Welboum obse rved that m os t d onon
contribute out of a s1mple desire to ma ke
a difference:. While philanthro py ca n
fluctuate because of economic changes
or budgetary problems. such c hanges d o
not usually exen a long-term impact.
.. Donors sec an opportunity to ma ke
things better. II feels great to make a gift .
it (ec:ls even greater to make a bigger
gift."

The ke y to suett:SS in fund-raising ls a
gospel of optimism. We:lboum stated.
"The glass is half full , not baU empty.
Development officers arc inveterate
optimists ...
" It's like playing tennis," be explained.
"If you go to bit the ball and you think
it 's going over the net, the chances are
much better that it wiU go over the Od
than if you say, 'I'm going to Oub iL ·"

"W

ben I go sec this guy, if I go in
there saying, 'Gosh, I'm awfuUy
sorry we haven' seen you in aU tbis time.
How've you been?' that's very different
and the result wiU be nigbt and day from.
'We've missed a great opportunity berc
because your career bas gooc zoom and
tbe Uoivcnity b.as gooc zoom and we
sho uld've been doing tbis together. It will
be my job over the next several yean to
educate you about the great things that
are happening ben: at U B, ftnd ways for
you to be involved and bavc you loot for
UB in the sports page and the busiocss
page every day and expect to fmd it there
like Northwestern and Stanford."
StiU, Welboum acknowledged that
cfforu often go to naugbL He commented , "We are asking them for bardearned resources which are in limited
supply , and wt: are but one of many good

One of Wei bourn's primary goals is to
obtain the suppon of the students and
faculty at UB. "Psychologically, people
beco me aware that then: are resources
here for good ideas ... He is currently
loo king fo r money to improve: the qualIt y of teaching at UB. to extend scholarship oppon unitics and to equip UB's

When her father , Ho ward Neubecker.

concerned about his prospects for recov ery. -He thought he would just walk

it would have been impossi ble to move
him out of the ho use to get therapy. Vis-

iting Nurses has really been essential."
Sinoc his rt lcasc fro m the hospital,
Mr. Neubecker has been supplied with
Silly Putty for working the muscles in his
hands, an expandable band for working
hi.s arms and at the suggestion of Visiting
Nursi ng Association. a stati onary bike.
.. The bike is so mething new from the
family.- says Ms. Neubecker.
When her sister was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis II years ago, it was
another SEFA agency, the Multiple
Sclerosis Society, that camelo the aid of
the entire family , said Ms. Neubecker.
''They provided a caseworker for her,
brought in a counselor for her kids ~d
rece ntl y. provided her with a wheelchatr.
They a lso sent over another woman with
MS as well. to bt a friend . a co mrade ."
Ms. Neubecker now o rganizes the

hetwec:n fall 1990 and fall 1991 . "thereby
bringing actual enrollments doscr to our
enrollment lar&amp;dS-" Tbe oct effect will be
a small decline in overall enloUment, but
UB will increase the pcrocntagc of new
minority students enrolled in 1991-92.
Another bri8bt spot for the Univenity,
said Sample, are the big capital projects
planned or under way, includi~~&amp; the Fine
Arts Center. Here, too,1)amplc offered 8
budp ca'Oe&amp;l. "A tact of state operating
" - fUDds may mate it extnordinarily
diffiCillt or impossible for the departments wb.icb will be housed in the Fmc
Arts Center to utilize me.. enraordinary
faci.titiocs to tbeir fullest extent, Resources
for rdoc:alinll these departments, for
equippin&amp; tbeir DCW areas, uad fnr
desipin&amp; and mountin&amp; DCW Pro&amp;rammiul will litdy be- Curtailed abould the
c:urrent stale bud&amp;d clin)ale penis!. w
Also, the Univenity must pay heed to
its qin&amp; infrastructun: especially OD 1b.e
South. Campus. " In addition," Sample
said, "the combination iir Dew lalloratory
coDStructioll uad renovation of older
facilitia bas placed ~ preaun:
on the outdated McKay Power Plant,
uad this ocutral beating facility must he '
c:itber renovalcd or replaced on tbe
Nortb. Campus. It will · iiK:rWlni!Jy
require on1oing rebabilitatio'o and
repair."
Sample ended his repon on a note of
opti,mism. "Despite our bleak budgetary
situation, I am fumly convinced that
propcss will continue here at UB. We
have come too far uad pined too'much
momentum 1101 to k.cep moving toward
our goal of becoming one of the very best
public univenities in America."
In other business. the council
appro~ a resolution that would have
the University annually evaluate the
nature and occ::essity of revenue goner·
ated by student fees. It voted to table a
resolution that would have the council
support an amendment to the budget
request, asking for a bealth insurance
program for all SUNY graduate students
to be funded with new doUars added to
the SUNY budget.

to find out what actually happened to
them, ... Weis says . .. Their life hist o ri ~
can help unravel what has happened in
terms of gender construction and soc1aJ
movements under the new economy.
.. As educators, we tend to work on an
ass umed cc:ntrality of schooling, and
rarely look at what people arc doing

merican society is most likely
going to have to live with
much less,~ says Lois Wcis,
associate de&amp;~~ of UB's Graduate School of Education.
As the American economy becomes
less industrial-based and more service-

oriented, the working class generation
will find fewer wcU-payingjobs available
and may have to work longer hours at

lower wages than their parents and

..The issue is not simply a matter of
not finding work as it is what kind of
work is available to find,~ Weis explains.
"Many wiU fmd work to do, but will it
have the same benefits, high level of pay
and job-security as the passing industrial
society offered? Probably not, with the

way the economy is going."
Last April, Weis released Working
Class Without Work. a book based on
her study of white working class high
school students living in ... Freeway." a
pseudonym Weis chose for a town
undergoing dcindustrialization . ··1

bases was affecting young people's identity forms , bow the);(ook at themselves
and their future," Weis says. For thrtt

but also their parents. teachers and high

Weu describes the work...ing class as

.. the traditional proletariat, .. consisting
mainly of "highly skilled and generalized
wage labor." For most of this century,
the average member of the working class
"put in a good 40 hours a week, had long
term affiliations with unions, and led
fairly comfortable lives ... Weis says.
These conditions changed as American industries relocated So uth or out of
the country, where taxes were lower and
labor was not well o rgan ized . according
to Weis.
" T he majority of American workers
arc not involvc.d with production," Weis says . .. This economic shift is
hurting the, worling class. The service
sector demands a different form of labor
which pays less than most industrial
jobs. Typical middle-&lt;:lass jobs arc being
phased out, and micjdle-&lt;:lass money is

In her st ud y, Weis rOund that .. dislocation" has created a gender gap in terms
of how working class young people
regard their future . ..The males tended to
be quite traditional in what they thought
females were and o ught to be, .. We is
explains . ..Their views are quite patriarchal, in that they expect women to put
having a family ahead of having a
career
...The women were exactly the opposi te," Wcis says. "They talkc&lt;i about get ·
tingjobs , even starting careers, and when
t hey felt they were financially secure.
rhen would they talk of settling down
and havi ng a family .
..This is a big change from the attitudes of working class women in the
past . .. Wcis says . .. I think the two sexes
might be on a collision course. if things
don't get worked out. ...
Weis is now interested tn foUowing up

er concern with the ro le educatr o n
plays in shaping an indrvrdual's life
lc&lt;i Weis to establish the School 74 Pro·
ject at the University last summe r . .. We
adopted two six th grade classes from
Buffalo Public School 74. whose student
body is 99 percent African - American
living on tbe East Side, .. We is say s.
Fony-five children attended the program's six classes taught by UB facult y
and graduate students.
The project was built around " Voyage
of the Nimi, .. a 13-tape video series
chronicling the adventures of a gro u p of
children on a whale watch to gain scientific information. according to We is. Six
tapes were s hown, one per session. and
the other seven were sent to School 74
facult y to continue the program the r4: .
- The children worked with scientific
eq uipme nt, mathematical pr o hl c m ~. and
lt: &lt;t ll) COJ Oyt:d the cu mputel ~lnlUI.t
tt ons," Weis says . .. We also had a UB
Writing Day, in which the children wrote
about their experiences, with~the program, with school, or their whole lives ....
Their writings arc now collected in a
book . Schoo l Thoughts and Sweet Talk .
Programs like the School 74 Project
are imponant , Wci s feels , because they
help under-funded cit y sc hools get their
students exposed to and involved with a
wide range of k now led ge areas .
.. Ci ty schools arc in deep tro uble,
because a serious lack of money has
forced them to cut vaJuable programs. "
Weis observes . .. In terms -of resources.
there is an uneven distribution of educational opportunity in this co untry. The
abi lit y of students in the cit y is the same
as in the suburbs. Bul as hard as the ir
teachers and parents try , a nd they try
very hard and often swccccd , they can\
overco me all the odds of society."

very high level for entry into practioe,"
S harrow noted. "1llis year's note is
better than it has been in tbe past, but
we have traditionally bad a high pass
rate ...
Sharrow said tbe UB rat&lt;: was based
on the fact that 41 of 42 members of
the May 1990 graduating class who
took the national exam in New York
State for tbe first time received a
passing grade. The school, sbe -.!&lt;led,

At the risk of being labeled apiost
IIIOthat&gt;ood, apple pie and savin&amp; the
planet, I bavc serious CODCerDJ reprding
the "UB Recycles" program.
Some time ago, occupanu of certain
buildings were asked to participate in a
voluntary, pilot recyeting program. We
were told wbat was recyclable, what
could be gained by recyeting, and we
were provided with our Cboioe of
container which we were then reoponsible
for emptying into lugc mobile cootaioen
plao;ed on each floor. A couple times each
W&lt;Ck these: mobile cootaioen were
wbeeled to the loading dock by lludcot
volunteen and emptied into garbqe
trucb.
This accmed to work fairly wtll, and
from time to time lips would appear
letting us mow how many pound&amp; we
baw: m:yclcd and how many trees we
bad saved.
All of a Iudden, hUDdreds of immobile
bii white cans appcaRd everywhere on
......_ and our cleaniu&amp; llaff are now
the "volunteen" wbo pick up and deliver
the tons of paper we throw away. lbcac
tbe same eleanen who are only able
to collect regular offiOC traab every olher
nip.t, wbo can o P)y va:uum if .they don l
1
baw: thra: olher.'ll!&gt;&lt;&gt;n to cover, and who
buically are t.ryU!g to accomplish in an
eight-hour shift what a few yean
took about thra: times u many people to
do.
(dool mow the eJOCI weight, but if
you have ever moM a box of computer
printoui papci you mow it iso' light.
Can you imagine what a can ft.lled with
compul&lt;:r printout. paper weighs? Tbink
what you might feel lilr.e after emptying
abo ut one hundred of these cans during
your a:lllfl.
'
.
Give these people a break: U UB
recycles, it should be an all~ut effort and
we sbould all do our &amp;bare. For the
amount of money that wu spent to \
purchase all those cans, which are
•wrywMrr, couldol we liavc plaa:d a
mobile container on each floor instead? It
wouldo' kill any of us to bave to take
our own recyclable material into tbe
hallway and dump it into a movable
container which a cleaner could. then
easily push to the dock fO&lt; emptying. In
fact, most of us could benefit from
baviog to take our own trash to the
loading dock and tbeo w&amp;lkiog the sutirs
bad to our offices.
Weil all benefit in the long run from
recycliog no matter how we accomplish
it, but personally I bave no enthusiasm
for it at the expense of oUr already
overburdened cleaniu&amp; llaff.

These courses give new

Inve ntions resulting from

UB has made significant
so:ides in another area of
public service: improving our
community's health care
delivery system by
encouragini increased
cooperation among our
affiliated teaching hospitals.
These efforts wil~ if
SIJCtts.sful. result in
enhancement of the qualiry
of our programs in clinical
medical education, as well as
better medical care and
grea1tr rost dficiency.
One example of these
efforts and their benefits is a
demonsttation project
undertaken cooperatively by
UB, the New Vorl&lt; State
Depanment of Health, and
the Craduatt Medical-Dental
Education Consortium of
Buffalo (C MDECB). Members

Center. as ~u as the UB
School of Medicine and
Biomedica l Sciences and th tSch(j()l of Dent-&gt;1 Medicine.
The demonstration project
proposes the designation of
CMDECB as an academic

designation will help crt:att a
more centralized 5)'5ltt1l for
medical education with
sharpened focuses on
prir=ry care, geriatric care,

dramatically affect all our

exploration of new ave nues
for growth must and wi ll
continue. Thus, as I close this
report, I would like to share
with you ~ tJ:loughts about
whe~ ~~. when: we arc
goin111 and how we will get
there.
Perhaps the easiest way to
asses.5 our progrc:s.s and our
future directions is by
reviewi ng the live goals for
our university that I outlined
in my first Slate of the
Univenity adc:ire.ss in October.
1982. The first of those: goals
was to sm:ngthen our
institution as a center of
scholars hip, researeh, and
~ative

activity. Clearly, we

have done so. Our p f't&gt;gR'SS
toward this goal is evident in
the nationaJ rankings of a
number of our programs; in
the growing nun\ ber of
nationally and internationally
regarded faeulty members
whom we have anracted; in
the prestigious accolades
being accorded our ~terd.n
faculty, in the vast expansion
of our sponsored programs;
in the establishment of state
a nd nationaJ research ce mers
at UB; and. cenainly, in o ur
1989 election to the AAU.
These developments have led
to widespread recognition of
th e Buffalo Center's progres..
For ex.amp1c. in a survey of

undergraduate education and
life at o ur university by
actively pu.-.uing proposed

new ways to engage our
undergraduates in university

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Prof forms group to 'save' orchestra
By ROBERT WATERHOUSE
Reporter Staff

UB professor is forming a
support group to help ..save"
the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra.
Douglas Bunker. an associate professor in the School of Management, con·
ceived of the idea of a grass roots committee to aid the orchestra in its f1SC3.1
crisis.
"I thought, 'How frustrating to see
that need and be unable to impact on it
alone.' I knew, too, that then: were others who dido' feel completely immobilized by the problem but couldo' donate
the SIOO,OOO or so Deeded."
To help counter tbe BPO's current
S 1.5 million deficit, which bas delayed
the opening of tbe symphony's 1990-91
season, and which bas led to confrontations between the BPO's musicians and
its administration, Bunter is forming a
support group of 1,000 people donating

A

SI,OOO each.
The "Committee of One Thousand "
will operate along the principles of a
New England town meeting. Tbe funds
will be held in trust, but the thousand !be target number of people needed to
/ raise a total of S I million - will operate
- like Selectmen, attending meetings and
participating in decisions.
...The reaction I'm encountering is
'Count me in,' " says Bunker, who says
that about 90 percent of the people he
has contacted so far have added their

donations and their effons to the cause.
Bunker adds that wbere there are individuals unable to put up SI ,OOO, there are
groups or communities prepared to join
the committee with a communal pledge.
The point, says Bunker, is that there
are individuals and groups within the
area who would put up the money - if
only someone asked them . .. It's a matter
of tapping a community that recognitts
something of value and the Deed to preserve it. lbere's a latent concern that this
effort is tapping."
Not enough people take part in Philharmonic fund drives, be &amp;aid, or otherwise support the orchestra. "I've not
done my duty," Bunker said. "I never
contributed a thousand a year. Although
I've been a normal giver over the years,
no one bas ever stretched me beyond the
odd donation.
"But given the severity of the need , I
could spare the sacrifice. And tbere are
others who could give more - if they
were asked ."

2222.r-

Bunker bas targeted a number of business groups and other communities, and
his hope is that UB's faculty will respond
to the cause .... We have a small group
from tile Bar Association, a small group
of physicians, a small group of arcb.itects. U we can get into six figures this
month we can show people that ours is a
serious venture. So I'd like to have
$200,000 worth of pled ges within the
month ."'
.. Doug Bunker," says Edwin Wolf,
executive director of the BPO, .. is an
interested person who has stepped forward to do something. He 's a community
volunteer who is able to get to people
who , for whatever reason, are more
approachable by Bunker than others."
olf added that ne welcomed the
W
Committee's efforts
the
difficult nature of fund-raising.
and stressed

Bunker admits that the fund-raising
drive bas provided him with a good deal
of extra work, but be describes himself as
an "obsessive" personality who tends to
embraa: each of his activities with equal
relish. It is, however , ironic that his
loyalty to the BPO bas forced him to
take a leave of absence from the Buffalo
Schola Caotorum, the choral group that
occasionally joins the Philharmonic.
Bunker sings baritone.

"I raised a SIOO,OOO endowment to
sustain a music director for the Schola
Cantorum and that's the extent of my
fund-raising experience." said Bunker,

modestly.
Bunker spent a Nevada childhood listening to records before coUege exposed
him to his rdt symphony orchestra.
Now be sees a symphony as a vital asset
to any vibrant community .
"1 see this effort as a way to change
Buffalo's perception of itself. I know of a

banker who met with the BPO's musicians and,ried to teU tbem 'Tbe Buffalo
Story.' He told them, ' If you think there
are any angels out there, you 'rc mistaken.' That's the Buffalo story. I want to
be able to say, That's no1,the real story.'
It's foUy to treat this as a labormanagement problem; this is a community challenge. And the best WilY to meet
that challenge and to change that image
is to raise the money ...
Bunker adds that althoU&amp;h flllODCial
problems arc llotbing new to orcbeltru.
tbe gravity of the BPO's current crisis
belongs, in turn, to the excellence and
renown of the BPO itlelf. "Tbe Denver
and Oakland orcbestru have bad prol&gt;leiru. So bas tbe Baltimore. What we
need to recognize is, if the BPO were to
go down, it wouldo' be a local lou; it
would be a national one."
Can he flDd 1,000 people willing to
part with SI,OOO? Bunker says be's
optimistic. "Besides," he adds, "there
are all sorts of things we haven' dreamt
ofyet ."

Sample explained .
Philip Glick of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences asked if the University

that cover the cost of each student admitted beyoDd tbe SUNY approved limit.
"We get neither the capitation nor the
extra tuition from those students. All of

ity. If we can' keep pace with demand,
we should probably make our admissio ns po licy more selective. I have a feeling th is University will become more
exclusive rather than less in the future ...

Sample distributed copies of . his

and hei&amp;hten public awareness. Sample
said that knowing that Public Safety is

Other methods, such as increasing

"This is a big change. It won' be done in

F~---welch links Hussein to nuclear threat
By MARK HAMMER
Reporter Sta"

s armed conflict inevitable as a
result of the present tension in the
Mideast? According to Claude
Welch, distinguisbed service professor of political scieocc. "It is hi8hiY
likely. lraq is certainly capable at this
point." Welch gave a talk Oct. 10 in Park
Hall on the subject of Hussein aod the
bomb. The lecture was sponsored by
UB's Nuclear War Prevention Studies
Graduate Group.
"I'm very pessimistic about a peaa:ful
outcome, at least where the U.S is
involved," said Welch, who speaks frequently on topics involving world political conflict.
Discussing Saddam Hussein's role in
the ever-increasing nuclear proliferation
in the Third World, Welch explaiDed in
an interview that there are two classes of
nuclear proliferation . vertical and
horizontal.
"Vertical proliferation cona:rns the
increased number of nuclear warbeads
held by the two superpowers," said
Welch. "I don' see this as much of a,
problem in light of the breakdown of the
Cold War. Horizontal proliferation is
the spread of nuclear weapons from one
country to another. This bas become
very dangerous," he said.
Iraq has been attempting to gain the
capability of producing nudea.r warbeads since 1974 when it purebased the
Osirak. nuclear reactor from France. Ten
tons of uranium were then purchased by
the Iraqis from Germany and Italy.
However . they wen:. unable to obtain
nuclear pins which ~ essential for the
production of plutonium . Israel's
preemptive raid on the reactor in 1981 ,
destroying it, left Iraq years away from
nuclear capability, Welch said .
"This kind of build-up was part of the
ethos of the early 70s. There was oot
nearly as strong a sense of threat and
danger about nuclear devicc:s as the~ is
today," explained Welch.
"When Saddam Hussein came to

to gain as much power as possible in the
Third World. Welch points to the invasion of lran by lrwj in September of 1980

were shocking repo rts from
human rights groups such as Amnesty
International and Middle East Watch of
summary executions of hi s supposed
domc:stic opponents," Welch said. He
also pointed out Hussein's efforts to
d~p Islamic solidarity, eve n if this
power was used against other Moslem
oppooc:nts.
Despite the prese nce of a clearly
defined system of internatio nal protcc·
tion beaded by groups such as the Inter• national Atomic Energy Agency. which
was designed to deter the implcmenta·
tioo of nudear materials from peaceful
to military uses, Welch believes this
effort is fundamentally intffcctive in its
enforcement of guidelines. "These agencies are weak ," Welch says, "although

research about Mars that proves that life
was visi ble there so me four billion yean:
ago, in the form of rivers and volcanoes.

This same research also proves th.o.tlifc is
no longer sustainable on the swface of
Mars because it has no ozone layer and i.s
therefore too hot.
.. Mars has a planet-wide ozone hole.
That is, no ozone at aJI; nothing to pre?
teet its surface from the searing ultravi-

olet light of the sun," Sagan explained.
..This is a useful lesson to us, who art
destroying our ozone layer. It is useful to
be reminded, by examining anotber
world , what happens when the ozone
layer goes away ...
The result of an ever-decreasing ozone
layer is what Sagan termed ..global
warming ... Recent statis tics show that if
present trends remain constant. Sagan
said . that by the year 2.000 tbe Earth wiU

We forgot how thin our atmosphere is."

"It is useful to be

what happens when
the ozone layer goes
away. "
- CARL SAGAN

Saga n IS cynical a bo ut the reaction of
b1g business and po liuc•ans to the deteri ora tt o n of the Earth's cnv aro nment
-There is a tens1on between short -term
and lo ng-term objectives . One of the
problems is that while . by any geological
time frame, the pace of change is enormously swift, it is still slow compared to
the four- and six-year terms of office that
interest politicians. The disaster, which
will ta..ke decades to come abo ut , is of
minimal interest to many corporations
that are concc:med only with the corporate profitability in the next year or
two."'

T

he damage to the ozone layer is

being corrected by the industrial

nations , said Sagan. through various
regulations concc:ming the production of
fluorocarbons; their emission will be out-

lawed by the end of this century. "However, in my view, this is still too slow ... be

said.
The prime ca use of the destruction of
the ·ozone layer is the ca rbo n mono~ide
produs;:ed by fossil -fuel emissions, "

Sagan said . "'One thing we can do is use
I hem mon: efficiently. One-tbjrd of U.S.
carbo n dioxide is produced by autome?
biles. The big thing that bas to come is a
conversion from a fossil-fuel economy to
some other type of economy."

or t.bc aJternatiYCS to fossil-fuel, Sagan
favors solar energy. O.Sunli..ght is an inexhaustible source of power," Sagan said,

properly, could replace t.bc world's

'They really do

And they're

They feel
fulfilled when
they leave."

UB retirees really
get things done
By MARK E. RUFF
RepOrter Staff

F

rom was hing pot s in greenhouses to evaluat ing tex tbooks
in libraries. UB retirees are
vo lunteering to spice up life and
get things done on campus.
The focaJ point for their eiTons is the
J Rev-Up Program, more formally known
,as the Retired Employee Volunteerr
Univers it y Program. Under its new
director. Leila 8alcer, Rev -U p is seeking
to expand operations and draw more
people in.
Baker targets retired University
employees and their spouses. A dynamic,
people-oriented person, she aims to keep
retirees active in the life of the University. "It's not like there's this curtain
going down on their association with the
University," she declared .
Currently , about 25 retirees take part
in Rev-Up projects.
The sky's the limit when it comes to
finding areas in which volunteers can
help. The only limiting factor is a stipulation that volunteers cannot replace the
work. of current University employees.
As a res ult. Baker so~times suggests
to potentia) volunteers possibilities for
se rvice . .. , bring situations to their attention wberc volunteers wo uld be very useful . • At other times, retirees bring projec:u to her.
For th ose at the Dorsheimer Greenbouse, it has been help with weeding,
clipping, cleaning up plants and washing
pots.
"They really do a good job," commented Ted Bieniek, who runs the
G.....,bouse. • And they're really selfmotivated . They feel fulfiUed when they
leave. •
Bieniek noted that their assistance in
cleaning the p-eenbouse bas been invaluable to what bad previously been a one1man opention.
The Clifford Furnas Room bas
r=ntly seen action by volunteers. This
room on the fifth floor of Capen contains personal belongings and memora·
bilia of Furnas, former UB ChaneeUor.
The volunteers monitor the room on
special occasions. encourage visitors to
sign the guest books and explain its con-

tents to onlookers a bit befuddled by the
presence of Furnas' sneakers inside a
trophy case.
For others, volunteering means telephones. Ten volunteers answer phones
and record names, addresses and, most
importantly, pledge donations for
WBFO's fund drives.
Not all volunteer projects carry a great
deal of glamour, bo-.ever. In the "Per·
sonnel Services Special Projects," re·
tirees have taken on what Baker described as "monumental" wks in filing
and mailing.

T

he largest number of volunteer
hours bas been at Student Health.
In one of the projects there, volunteers
'c an be the hearers of bad news and help
notify certain incoming freshmen and

Baker added: "One retiree goes in
weekly into bookkeeping. Another ~
tiree goes in twiee a week at the referral
desk."
Other retirees carry on volunteer activities that existed before Rev-Up. Thn:e
individuals help out at the Network for
the Aging, while one helps coordinate
the SEFA campaign for the Emeritus
Center.
The challenge for Baker is to create the
right ...connection" between lhe volunteer
and the service project. Volunteers often
offer speciaJ skills. some of which were
acquired during years of university
employmenL
One volunteer dnows on his knowled£1'
of applied pbyaiology, gerontology and
health and fitness coDCCrns. He evalu.tes
new books which arrive at the Healtb
Sciences Library, to determine wbetber
they would be appropriate u textbooks
on either the srwJuate or undergraduate
level.

For Baker, it is a great feetina to aeate
these sua:eaful connections. "That just
makes my day," abe exclaimed.
"It's really a people-penon type or
openotioo," she added. "I've been caUed
for years a people-person - getlin&amp; to
know a lot of people throughout the university." She noted that she bu been
active in the UB Women's Oub for many
years.

Why do the volunteers do it?
Baker insisted that those involved

reparat ions for the 1993 World
University Games, including
the possible construction of a

The proposed sports facility would be

would contain two swimming pools specificaJiy designed for the Games, accord·

Chatov, chairman of the commiucc,
explained that tbc basic concern was "'to
ftnd out how other universities have
operated with Division I, so we sent out
a survey to the faculty of all the Division
I colleges and universities."
1be survey evoked 2S responses from .
such academic institutioiiS as tbe University of Oklahoma, Iowa State, Ohio,
Cornell, Harvard and Vanderbilt,
according to Cbatov . .. From their collective experience with Division I, we see a
pattern emerging among tbesc places,...
Chatov said. "We know what problems
to expect now ...
Chatov contended that a Division I
athletics program is so expensive that it
is "'a financially losing proposition ...
Although a great deal of money is generated from college football, most of the
benefit goes to local area businesses and
independent football related organizati o ns ... Very little, if any , or that income_

goes to fund departments of other fields
of study," Chatov said.
Financial gifts from alumni or booster
organizations to individual football
players and the need for opecial tutors
for student athleles who do not meet the
Univenity's academic standards were
also mentioned in the survey. "Should
we then set up programs to help tbem
compete with the other students? Do
they deserve this tutoring over other
non-athletic students? That's a problem
we have to consider," Chatov said.
Cbatov mentioned one possible solution for these problems. " Several
respondents to the survey stressed that
the facuity remain on the watch over the
Division I program at their schools,"
Chatov said. "The survey iodicates· tbat

" When I was in college.

how to be a comedian, and
there weren' any comedy

from Boston to New York

Reporter Slaff

edid not
ride in on a
motorcycle,
~ut Jay
Leno's
comedic
engine had over
5,000 people roaring
with laughter in
Alurimi Arena,
Saturday, Oct. 13.
Prior to his
performance, Leno
addressed a more
intimate crowd of
campus journalists
and students from
the Laughter 10 I
class concerning
comedy and his
experiences getting
into the professi-on.

H

"Comedy is comedy," Leno
said. "I don\ think comedy
changes at alL" The things
/
that people find funny have:
remained constant over the
yean. Leno explained. "If you
show somebody a Charlie
C haplin film . or a Buster
KcalOn fllm, 1 thank he11
Jaugh as much now as he
would have: when those films
first came out. Mwic and
~terary forms may change,
but comedy is always
popular. A rich fat guy falling
on his faa: in the mud has
been getting laughs since tbe
beginning of time."
The key to any joke, Lcno
be~cves, is tbe element of
truth in iL "Then: arc no
jokes, n:ally," Lcno observed.
"If tben: .....,.. no truth behind
them, they wouldo\ be funny .
If people dido\ believe: that
Ronald Reagan was napping
and dido\ know wbat' was
going on tbe whole time be
wu in offace, tbey wouldo \
bavc: Iaupcd."
Not all jokea are funny to
all soru or people, Lcno
noted. '"Ibe more cynical
jokea are likdy to get a better
reaction iD tbe larJF cities
lite New York, Chicqo and
Loo Aqdea.• Leno said. "In
tbe Midwest, people ICCtD less
likely to appn:ciale thole
typea of joltea. Ptople will go,
'Ob, gee, donl pick on the
F"trst Lady lite that!'"
lthough comedy is useful
in relaying information,
Leno doea not find it
persuasive enough to affect a
person's politica. "You don\
n:ally change anybody'l mind
with comedy, u you tend to
reinforce what they already
believe," Leno said. "If people
think Dan Quayle is stupid,
then a Quayle joke will get a
big laugh. But if you think
be's doing a good job, youll
say, 'Wby are you saying that
about him?'"
Leno doea not take the
~nt move toward

A

A

s an emcee •n coffee

censorship seriously. "The
pendulum swings this way
and thai way; Lcno said . "I
mean. obviously, the
ce nsors hip iss ue: is just a tool
to get people like J esse Helms
,-e..,lected . I don' think many
people take it that seriously.
Like. when you watch
'Geraldo' or 'Donahue:'. they
have this debate when:, on
o ne side. everything this guy
says is totally filthy,
and on the other. these
people look like
they had just

+e~

to

them an: just neurotic. But
the rest of the people use
common sense: ...
When dealing with sensiti ve
issues, Lcno advised th a t a
comed ic hopeful ·use his
instincts' and do what is
funny to him. "When I go see
someone like Andrew Dice
Clay, I'm not offended , I'm
just bored ," Lcno said . "It's
like 'Shut up, tell a joke with
some originality.' Most people
have heard that type of
language before. Nobody is
really shocked by il anymore _"
Lc:oo admires comedians
~ke Carlin, Pryor and Foxx .
because "their use of fo ul

language was no t their on ly
fonn of rebe llio n_ When
Pryor would ponray a
homeless drunk . it wa.~ in the
se nse: o f the lilli e guy vcr'i u!&lt;.
the: establis hme nt. .. The
reverse is true for C lay, Len o
asscned . .. He's just anotherwhite gu y picking on
minorities ... Leno said . " He
should have a nice 18-month

career.
To make a career o ut
of co med y. o ne: must
be dedicated enough
to make the cffon
to get up on
stage: every
night.

t

houses, Lc: no says he
gained a fc::el for what
was funny and what was not.
.. At that time, in the early
70s, there wo uld be things
like poetry readings, guitar
playibg, some acid-induced
songs. Then I would go,
'Okay, that was so-and-so, big
round of applause' and then
plug a joke. If I got a laugh,

I hal didn \ get a laugh, I
would bring on the next

Leno carried bis emc:ee
talen ts to some of the strip
joints and burlesque houses in

One day, Lcno decided to
leave the East Coast and go
to Los Angeles. "I just packed
my clothes and left on the
next possible plane to LA,"
Lcno said.
Lcno fc::els that if be had
remained in one place for too
long, he wo"uld not bave been
as successful in comedy as he
is now. " I have friends who
want In do comedy, but they
arc committed to their other
jobs and their hometowns,"
Lena explained. "You can\
just do comedy once a month
at some talent show."
In California, Leno feU in
with a group of comics that
included Jimmy Walter,
Fn:ddi Prinz and David
Letterman. "They would wort
at all the clubs in tbe area
and give: each other advice on
their material. "Your parenu
arc not likely to give you an
objective: opinion on your
stuff. Theyll say, That's very
nice, dear,' but tbey won'
look upon it as a real job,"
Lcno said. "You need other
comics who an: at your level
to interact with and learn
from .
.. It 's great to live in a time
where comedians can mate
this kind of money; Leno
said . " It's not like back in the
time of Ghengis Kahn, wben I
would have been just another
soldier a nnoyi ng the !:&lt;St of

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Since then, Public Safety bas di5cussed
the problem with students at orientation.

their patrols more visible, according to
Griffin.

"We are trying to tal&lt;e advantage of a
bad situation to raise public awareness,"'
G riffin says . ..The most imponant message we have to communicate to people

is that you have to take respoosibilit.Y for

Two Greek organizations have also
joined the cause. According to Huber.

Kai Omega has joined the ARTF, volunteering two sorority members a week to

run one of the walk-escort stations. Phi
Delta Theat, a fraternity, is distributing
whistles to women in the dorms.
The ARTF is continuing its reaular
program of recruiting volunteers and
meeting with students in the residence

c:forc you toss this newspaper
in th e trash can, why not put it
in to one of the many recycling
cans rece ntl y installed on cam·
pus? As Charles Sonntag, supervisor of
University Scrv1ces' new ly implemented
paper recycling program, puts it, ..The
more paper we can save. the more trees
we can save. "
The cans, painted white with blue .. UB
Recycles" logos, have been installed in
approximately 80 percent of the build·
ings o n campus, according to David
Rhoads of Facilities Management.
Maintenance staff collects the paper and
transfers it to building loading doclc.s.
Then garbage packer trucks take t he II
paper to a local recycling plant. which
sons and ships different grades of was1c·
paper to paper mills.

Paper lS not the only material Univer·
sity Services plans to recycle. By 1992,
Rhoads believes, glass. metal, and plastic
will also be part of the program. "We're
starting with paper because that is where
the greatest amount of waste occurs ...
Rhoad s explatru.. "The Physical Plant
has always had a means of recycling
metal. but we: plan on expand1ng that
program to th e: wh o le universit y. A s for
plastic. Food Service has been most
cooperative in trying to reco ver some of
that waste."
While S tate Finance Law requires all
state facilities to esta blis h recycling programs by this year. Sonntag believes the
impetus for the new UB program 1s also
both practical and moral . .. Bureaucracy
tends to generate tons of paper waste ...
Sonn tag observes . ... If we could get paper
out of the waste stream. we could save
the University a great deal of money. It
costs us S50 for every ton of paper we
take to the landfill. With the current
budget problems UB is facing. that's too
much money."
Rhoads adds that with the new rc
cycling )&gt;rogTam, the Universit y can Tt: cover money previously lost to the cost
of dumping. ..Within the next six
months, I expect half of our paper waste
will be in the landfill, the other half in
recycling," Rhoads says. "The money we
spend on dumping will be offset by the
money we make by selling recycled paper
to the recycling industry. For every ton

1n sc1ence
literacy
By PATRICIA DONOVAN
News Bureau Staff

ducational researchers at U B
arc developing an extensive
science literacy program under
a $246,000 grant from the Fund
for the Improvement or Post Secondary
Education (FIPSE), U.S. Department of
Education.
The program will serve nearly 1,000
undergraduate students at U B annually
and has the potential to benefit thousands of students at other universities.
The aim is to improve not onJy students' knowledge of basic science, but
their comprehension of major concepts,
history, philosophy and ethica.J issues in
the sciences.
The science Literacy program is one of
severa l innovative programs under
development within the Undergraduate
College , acco rdin g to John Thorpe, -vice
provost for undergraduate education
and UGC dean. Thorpe says it is
e ~pected to be evaluated and fully integrated anto the underg raduate cumcul_um by 1993.
The new program is a response to the
shared observation among American
educators that science education in the
United States is in crisis. It is a cona:m
that has caused colleges and universities
across the nation to begin to address the
1ss ue of sci entific literacy among
undergraduates.
The FIPSE grant will fund the development, piloting and evaluation of two
unique upper division scierKX: counc:s for
non-science majors. The new counes will
he part or a 19-bour science and math
seq uence planned for tbe UB undergraduate curriculum.
" Most U.S. uodergraduate programs
require one year of science or sU to eight
credit houn for non-science majors, •
says Oyde Herreid, project director and
distinguished teaching professor or biologieal scienocs. "This one would r&lt;quire
these students to take at least 13 hours or
scie nce on different academic levels. The
American Association for the Advancement of Science would lik_e to see 14 or
15 credit hours required in uodergradu ate curricula. This program comes closest to satisfying the suggested r&lt;qu irement while allowing the completion of
other degree requirements ...

E

T

he scie nce literacy program is pan
of a new curriculum being developed by the UB Undergraduate College.
The curriculum invQ!.ves a broad range
of mtegrated courses m the aru and
SCiences that emphasitt science literacy
and humanities studies.
According to the proposed U B program sequence , non -science majors
would be required to take two semesters
of a basic introductory laboratory co urse
such as ph ys ics, chemistry. biology .
geology o r astronomy. Many university
curricula require non-scaencc majors to
acquire six general science credits in
either natural or sociaJ sciences.
The difference here is that non-scientt
majors would have to take ~ix or seven

ho urs in a natural science followed by
two additional upper-division science
courses: "'Great Discoveries in Scienct ..
and "Scientific Inquiry,• both to be de vel·
oped and piloted tbrough the FIPS E
grant.
• .. Great Discoveries in Science" will
focus on the history and deve lopment of
major scientific paradigms. The course
will have two versions, .. Microworld ..
a nd ... Macroworld ."' Students will take
the vers ion complementing th e1r experienct: in the introductory courses.
A student who takes an introductory
lab course in the: macro scie nces (geology, biology or astronom y), for instance: .
would follow it with the M icrowo rld
co urse focused on major iss ues in th e
fie lds o f physicz, chemistry or biochemistry
1ssues such as quantum mechanics.
atomic theory and molecular biology.
A student who bas taken introductory
co urses in physics or chemistry would
take the Macroworki course that attends
to major patterns influencing the sciences of astronomy or geology - issues
like cosmology, plate tectonics and evolutionary theory.
The program will allow students to
focus considerable attention on both the
micro and macro sciences over the
course of tbe three-semester sequence
and to assess scientifiC discoveries likely
to remain major influeoca throughout
their lifetimes.
• ln addition to the three-credit
~G reat Dlscoveries"' course. students will
tak e a three-credit .. Scientific Inquiry"
co urse designed to develop crilicaJ thinking, especially as applied to co ntemporary problem in science.
This course uses the case h1sto ry
ap proac h, a relatively rare form of teach mg in scie nce, to analyze con tempo rary
problems involving hard-core science.
public policy and ethics. Herre1d maintai ns that these: discussi ons wlll present a
valuable object lesson for students 1n
how to realistically assess the significa nce and applic ati o n of scie nce ge nerated change.
..There i.s nothing like th is sc1encr
literacy program in any American college I know of," says Herreid . -It's unique
m that it develops and integrates scientific knowledge and cri ti caJ think ing
across sc: veraJ levels of courses. It offe rs
what we think is tremendous depth and
breadth of understanding in students

and scie nce training, never strong to

Herreid says that the proposed curriculum is in keeping with tbe movement by
uni versities to reclaim their liberal arts
traditions and to re..establish more
rigorous requirements. He notes, however. th at the U B progra m is qualit ati vely and q uantitative ly different from

Improved research funding: has it changed UB's status?
By ANTHONY RALSTON

L

ast November after President
Sample had stated m hi s
Report to the Co uncil that th e

Uni versi ty had for the: first

time exceed ed $100 m ill ion in research
expe nditures in the previous year. I
wrote to h1m as f-o ll ows:
' The Provost was quo ted (in The

In respo nse President Sam ple agreed
th at .. an y presentation of d a ta o n U B's

This article is my ana lysis of that
dat a from the ~rspectivc of what it
seems to show about the progress of
UB as a research universit y in the
1980s.
Tab le I co nt a ins the raw data . The
second co lumn seems to support not
onl y the President's cla1m (s ince the
increase from 86-87 to 88-89 was 37 .8
percent) but aJso the Provost 's claim ,
sino: the increase from ·8 1-82 to 88-89
was fro m S26.0 m ill ion to ~100 . 3
mi ll ion . But Jet 's look a litt le furt he r.
The most remarkable aspect of the
second column of Table I is the 65
percent increase fro m 198 1-82 to 1982·
83 (the latter being the year President
Sample took office). The reason for the
increase was not a sudd en s urge in
research activ it y but rather the
inclus ion in the fig ures fo r th e firs t time
of research expend itu res at Roswell
Park (SI6.5 mill io n) and at two local
hos pitals ($1.5 milli o n ) by researchers
assoCiated with th e Unt vers it y.

But ca n the d ata in Tab le I be used
to assess the progress U 8 has made in
the 1980s, particularly progress toward
becoming .. one of the ten best public
research universities" in the U.S.? Not
directly . To make such an assess ment
we sho uld look at research
expe nditures compared to the budgets
of th e age ncies which grant the funds .
And we should focus on those agencies
which allow comparabilit y among
un iversi ties and from which, by and
large, grants have the greatest prestige.
Those agencies are surely the National
Science Fo undatio n and the National
In stitutes of Health .
want to emphasize th at this is no t
me an t to imply that research funded
b y other agencies is not of high quality.
1t ca n be and often is, but o n average
there is co nside rably more development

applied research sponsored by agencies

sources bring in valua b le fu nd s and
other reso urces to the Uni versi ty. In
particu lar. they allow so me

Pres id ent Sam pl e dese rves praise fo r
the initiatives he has tak en to o btam
suc h fund s. Ho wever, not onl y is it
very difficult to compare fu nd s from
such so urces with fundin g at ot her
un iversities but also it 1s not likely th at
o btai mng such fund s affects o ur stat ure

I

in the· academ ic com m unit y broad ly. So
to get a reaJ measure of o ur
performance, it is sens ibl e to foc us on
NSF and N IH .
Columns 2-&lt;&gt; of Table 2 co mpare UB
e&lt;penditurcs of NSF d o llars with total
NSF expenditures for basic and applied
research in the 1980s. This is done both
includ ing and excluding the NSF
ex penditures for the National Center
fo r Earthquake Engineering Research
(NCEER) which affects o nly the last
three years in the table. Getting
NCEER here was a n undoubted plum
for the University for which the
administration and associated faculty
deserve full credit. But when a single
item res ults in such a major increase of
funding, the data including it arc
bo und to be somewhat misleading.
The NSF data shows a creditable
performance. With NCEER included
o ur share of NSF grants has roughly
d o ubled , but without it, the Univer.;ity's
share of NSF funds has not quite kept
pace with the fund s available.
The last three columns are a similar
co mpariso n for NIH expenditures.
Here the UB performance is much less
impressive. However, after lagging
behind the NIH increases for most o f
the decad e, there bave been
co nsiderable increases in NIH funding
in the last two years.
U B is a good university, getting
better. However you may feel about
President Sample's emphasis on faculty
o btaini ng o utside suppo n , there can be
no d o ubt that this has affected faculty
att itudes and that the resuJt bas been
imp rove ment in overall research
funding, particularly over the past
co uple of year.;. But the data do not
make a case for significant
improvement of U B's position relative
to other research universi ties. Except
for the NCEER, the NSF and NIH
data do not suggest any real
improvement at all. And imponant
though the NCEER is, no one center of
this kind can change the stature of a
large university very much.
Of course, you can 'I really measure
the stature of a research university by
counting research dollars. What reall y
counts is the quatity of the research
and , therefo~ . the qualit y of the
facult y.
During the 1980s. UB hired some
excellent new se nior (and junior)
scholars. Perhaps the ove rall faculty
quality has increased . But I thin k it
wou ld be hard to demonst rate that the
qualit y has improved so much that we

have moved up significantly in the
pub~c research univer.;ity league table.

I

t also needs to be boted thai
counting research doUars as. a
measure of stature largely ignores the
humanities and much of the social
sciences. All that can be said in this
context is that, since the humanities a!
least have not been favored by the
ad ministration as much as the sciences
and engineering, it is unlikely that
qu~ty in this portion of the Univcr.;ity
has improved more tbao that in the
scienoes and engineering.
I have looked be~ at research dollan
h measure of stature because that is
what the administration does. Not to
tbe exclusiOn of all other measwa, to
be su~. but certainly 'as the one which
is emphasized by far the most. Notbi.DI
in the data I have presented here makes
a case that much progress was made
during the 1980s toward the goal of _
becoming "one of the ten best public
research univer.;ities" in the U.S.
Why, then, .all the rhetoric? This
administration ·bas sonie solid
accomplishments to its credi!- But the
incessant Coucism, the insisfenc:e that
every day in every way we an: getting
better and better, is, fmally, just
embarrassing,. To have the local
community flel proUd of UB, as it
should, is a "good thing." But it is not
a good thing for ,the, Rtfl':CP!io~. \'four,
stature to. be at.vatiap(:e wiffi tliC . : ·
reality. Who besides the admini5tration
itself is served by the continuaJ.,.. . ·.

Of Darwin

high-tech

A

By PATRICK BUCHNOWSKI
Reporter Staff

s a grad uate student~ Charles
Darwin was intrigued by insect
life, particularly beetles. One
day while holding a beetle in
each hand, Darwin sighted a third beetle
he wanted for his collection. He popped
one of the b.ugs iQio his mouth and with
his free hand. grabbed the third .
A hot sensation filled his mouth. He
spit out the bug, dropped the other two
and for the moment, Darwin's beetle
collection was none the richer.

A

-oarwin may have encountered thebombardier beetle," said biologi&lt;i
Thomas Eisner, who gave the 1990
Cowper Lecture . ·: Natural History :
Trivial Pursuits or Science ... at UB Oct .
4.
-The bombardier beetle does just what
thr- name implies ... Eisner told hi !~
audu:nce iU UB. ""II bOmbards its enemy
with a chemical compound to repel it. ..
Eisner, considered the father or
chemical ecology, is Cornell University's
Jacob Gould Shurman Professor of
Biology, and a member of the National
Academy of Sciences. He has spent a
lifetime studying the way biological
species use chemicals to defend
themselves, to communicate and to
adapt to their environment.
.. Some years ago I had the chance to
travel to London where Darwin had his
home, .. Eisner said . .. In th at house I had
access to his beetle collection and there
was, in fact, a little bombardier beetle
there. I would like to believe ~hat what
Darwin had put into his mouth was a
bombardier beetle."
The inch-long beetle can be found in
North America and can grow to two
inches in Africa Or South America. It
ejects a chemical spray (benzoquinone a skin irritant) from the tip of the
abdomen with a popping sound and a
visi ble cloud of smoke.
-It has a pair of glands situated at the
back of the abdomen . This is where the
beetle stores the chemical p~ursors . It
then brings together the two compounds
from each sack. The chemical ejected is
actually made a t th e moment of
discharge," Eisner said.
-Although we can' actually be sure
that Darwin put a bombardier beetle
into his mouth, I have done that, .. Eisne r
stated . "There definitely is a hot
sensation. In fact, if you were to pick up
the bombardier beetle from South
America, you could actually feel a hot
sensation . ..

ccording t o E isner . chemical
irritation can give a false sensation
of heat . In an attempt to find out if there
was really heal associated with 1he
insect's discharge. beetle mania turned
high tech. By using a tin y thermometer,
one of Eisner's grad uate students was
able to determine the temperature of the
discharge to be I00 degrees centigrade.
Usi ng a high speed camera, researchers
could sec that the insect ejected a
pulsating spray rather then a long burst
like a garden hose.
.. We were able to hold the insect in
place by using wire and dental wax,"' said
Eis ner , using slides and a movie
projector to illustrate his point . .. We
were then able to sec that the beetle is
ab le to shoot in any direction it chooses ..
- to fight off enemies like .. kamikaze
ants ...
Other species Eisner studies includes
the tiny vinegaroon (a scorpion of the
United States and Mexico tbat emits a
vinegary odor when disturbed) which
turns back its predator by sprayi ng 84
percent acetic acid, and an Australian
cockroach which sprays a form of
tear gas.
But what is the benefic of such
research?
" Forty to 60 percent of prescriptive drugs were not discovered in the laboratory but by
studying chemical compouods
extracted by such insects," said
Ian Baldwin. U 8 assistant
professor of biolog.ica.J sciences, who studied under Eisner
at Cornell.
.. This is the purpose of this
research and main point of
the lecture ... that if we want
to find a cure for a disease like
cancer we need to take a
closer look at the chemical
interaction of plants and
insects," Baldwin said .
Eisner's lecture was sponsored by the Faculty of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics. 0

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

general linguistics, deliver public lectures
and do some research consultatio n .
"What else I do will be determined on !he

visit, he will also be presented with !he

honorary del!J"C.
Garvin is most excited about the
opportunity to teach one of h.is courses
in Czech, his native Language. He sees
this u a way to reintegrate himself into
the cultun: of the country of his youth.
"There has been a grcal intellectual
upswing !.here and I wan! 10 participate

use the campus bus service or
park o n campus. could pro ve
an altemativt to the bus1ng
fee . a special Universit y comrn.iuee set up
t o study the busing issue, said last week .
The fee would be approximalely S35 a
se mester a nd wo uld be placed on stu den ts · acco unts with a waiver option
av ailable . under the committee proposa l.
S tu dents wa1 vang t he trans it fee would

Facult y and staff represented by bar galntng unats. the committee repo rt
read s, would .. be encouraged" to pur -

A

chase S30-S40 per semeSier bus passes.
.. In the event that contractual arrange ments allow for campus coruideration of
faculty l staff parking issues, a similar
transit fee should be negotiated with
those groups . ..
The Committee on University Bus
Servi ce , chaired by Vice Provost for
S tudent Affairs R o bert Palmer, met five
times since its formation early last month
a nd included facult y, staff and student
representatives.
Underpinning its work . said the com mlllee, was the realization th at UB needs
t o generate reve nu es if it is to continue to

pro v1de existing service.
Any .. significant reduc ti o n " m bus servtcc., it noted , would leave man y students
Without service . .. Tbe Umvers it y adjusts
bus .service -according to known hourl y

to less popular, but necessary. ro utes
such as Ridge Lea a nd Bet h une . If pOSS Ible . the e xisting serv1ce sc hedu le sho ul d
be maintained until user fee ndersh ap can
be pro perl y evaJuated. ··
Among the commiu.ce 's other recommend a ll o ns:
• The U n1vers1t y sho uld kee p the cur re nt Blue Bird system o perating at the

the campus well and sho uld not be elimi na ted o r reduced . unless ridership diCtates c hanges ."
•Inter-campus busmg has pno rit y
ov er intra-campus busing . " Tra vel
between the North and So uth C ampuses
should be retained , 1f poss ible, before
mtra-campus service is preserved.
• Increased mark.etmg ts necessary if
the busing system is t o be supported
through sales. " S tudents cannot be
ex pected to purc hase la rge numbers of
passes dunng a pe n od o f uncertaint y
over the future of campus busmg. S tudents need t o hear clearl y that the system
will continue to operate and that they

will need a pass to ride ...

SEFA funding helps in

nc out of every five adults
walking tbc street i.s func tionally illiterate.· accord ing to James T asa. executive director of Literacy Volunt~ of
Buffalo and Erie County, a SEFAf undcd agency.
-Depending on what figures you 'rc
using that translates into 31 million people in this country and 100,000 in Eric
County aJone,"Tasa said from his downtown office.
Providing illiterate adults with the
tuols they oec:d to function in society is
the purpose behind Li1cracy Volunteers,
a non-profit organiz.atjon. For Tasa the
demand for voluntccrs is ever-Increasing.
He welcomes help from UB facuhy, staff
and students. Some arc already serving
as volunteers.
.. It's an all- volunteer program w1th a
paid staff of six, .. he said . .. Last year we
helped about 1,200 people and right now
we have a wailing list of 300 people who
need our help, so we'n: aJways looking
for volunteers ...
Tbc: program, Tasa explained. is
divided into two schools- aduJr basic
English and English as a second language, which serves to help Lb;3c who
~ new to this country deal wit£ tbe language barrier. L..eaming to read not only
gives a person some control in hi~ life hut

hoping to find their plac:e in this country,
says Maureen Jameson. assistant UB
professor of modem languages and a
volunteer for three years.
-r first taught a Lebanese couple
whom I had read about in the ncwskttcr.
who were waiting for a volunteer ... she
said ...They were like so many other people who come to this cou ntry for a visit
but find that they can't return because of
the unrest in their own co untry .
.. It was an unusual situation ... she con tinued . -They knew how to speak French
because that is the second languagr
taught 10 Lebanon. and I knew some
Arabic after spending four years in the
Middle Eas1 . So between ou r J."rcnch and
our Arabic, I was able' to teach them ho w
to read English.·

-Adult non -readers arc not any less

.. It is just that they may have had an

the satisfaction in teachmg so meo ne to

.. Many UB studen ts Will take a lan ·

they're not always moti vated ... she said
.. lt's dillercnt when you're teachin g
someone: who's there for a specific purpose . You might teach so meone to read
so they can get their h1gh school diploma
or obtain a driver's license. They're mot ivated and hard -working. After the y
have achieved what they want. you can
help them move on to higher goals . ~ 0

"This fee is appealing because it ls far
less than the bus and parking fec:s."'

istratioo that they have chosen a poor
time and poor reasoru to press for this
action, and that we refuse to go along
with it ... said Antho ny Ralston of Computer Science .
No minations for the hearing comm ittee were also con..sidered unneces.s.ary
because, as Maureen Jameson of Arts
and Letters noted, .. We already have tht:
committee in place in acco rdance with
SUN Y Board of Trustees guidelines. I
see no urgency to worry about it now ...
Nonetheless, the FSEC re.olved to discuss the issue so metime in the: indefinite
future .
SUNY Senator Clau&lt;k Welch then
addressed th&lt; FSEC concerning the form
and function of the Budgetary Priorities
Committee beaded by Welch . Th&lt;
budget committee is com posed of facult y
who meet with the provost and vice president for universit y services to discuss
and advise on budgetary matters. accord·
ing to Welcb.
" T h e model of our involvement is on
th&lt; morally collegial side , wh&lt;~
by the provost and vice president a.re
participants in the committee's discussions," Welch explained. "Howrver,
some say the committee sbouJd be more
combative...
Tbe committee most reoently advised
the administration to loot. for non-st.atc
sourc:ea of revenue. such as recovery of

research overhead and grants not issued
by the state. Welch noted. A geoeral universit y fee was also recommended
because~ did not like too many minor
fees. " Weleh said. "SUNY Central did
no t accept the idea because it looked too
much like a tuition hike ...
One problem Welch perceived is ...
disparity of power. information and
co mmitment" between the administration and the members of the Budgetary
Priorities Commi ttee . " Unlike most
faculty , administrators live and breathe
budgets," Welch said . "The member.; of
th&lt; committee do not deal with budget
matters o n a regular basis. This disjunction creates a problem in which the
committee is dependent on infonnation
provided by those whom they an: supposed to advise."

"By hindsight, the fee
probably should have
been included on the
tuition bill so the
parents could pay for n_"

CLAUDE WELCH

Ralston said be was concerned that the
committee wos being used by the ...ministration but not by the FIICUity Senate.
"When we talked to the vice provost, b&lt;
seemed to imply that no criticilm opi.nst
the bus fee iJsue came from the budget
co mmittee,"' Ralston said.
Welch explained that the Budgetary
Priorities Committee luld limited opportunities to meet with either the adm.i.niJtration or the Fo.culty Senate over the
summer. "-It is true that tbcre wu a
thundering silence from tbe committee
after the vice provost made his presentation." Welch said. "Tbe committee disapproved of the bus fee, but could not
find a less worse alternative to tb&lt; prol&gt;lem. By nindsigbt, the fee probably
should have been included on tbe tuition
bill so the parents could pay for it."
Th&lt; committee, Welch feh, "bas
worked hard to fmd solutions to the
Univenity's budget problems. bit being
used? No , not by the ... ministration nor
by th&lt; Fo.culty Senate."

Photonics at technology's leading edge
By KEVIN MOORE
Reponer Stat!

P

hotonics is rapidly replacing
electronics in information

procusing. and may well
become the primary technology
of the next century, says U B Professor of
Chemistry Paras N. Prasad . Photonics is
the information processing counterpan
of c:lectronics that uses photons (light
energy) rather than electr ons. to process
information.
Prasad, named director of the Univer·
sity's Photooics Research Laboratory in
June, says: "Photo!ll travel faster. Thw
they on: able to perform several simultaneous proces.ses at great speeds.·
Photonics technology's speed and versatility have put it in high demand with
communications companies. The Pho-tonics Research Laboratory, Prasad
notes, ~as .. a strong interaction with
industries sucb as Eastman- Kodak , several polymer companies, and an engineering flnll specializing in the process·
ing of materials.·
The laboratory is heavily funded by
the Air Force Office of Scienufic
Research and the National Sctencc
Foundation . ..The Air Force is in terested
in basic research which co uld lead to the:
development of new technology. ~ Prasad
says .
Prasad, who joined the U B faculty in
1974, describes the laboratory's research
program as .. comprehensive and multidUciplinary:· Research is conducted on
practically all levels of developing tech·
nology , beginning with "theoretical
modeling," lhe basic physics of optical
processes, lhen proceeding to the design
and processing of photonics materials.
Laboratory researcben represenl ~veraJ
f10kb of expertise.
.. We have visiton from all over the:
world, including chemisu, pbysicisu.
electrical cngince~ material acientists !be list goes oo, • Prasad says.
• We start with tbeomical rnodelins so
we cao uodentaDd IIOID&lt; of !be n:lcvaot

processes wh1ch arc: Important to photonics technology, as well as the fu nda mental physics behind these processes.Prasad explains . .. With materials design .
we make: new kinds of materials suitable
for exhibiting these processes, what you
might call the media for various photonics applications. Here. the input of chemists is quite crucial.
..Thc:n. in the: area of matc:nals processing. we: experiment w1th d1fferent
shapes of these materials to see which is
mOlt usable for a particular purpose. We

and will most likely

the next century."

P\.!rpose of measurement 1s to ftnd the
ultimate time: resolution needed for the
fastest speed possible ...
The U 8 researcher1 recently developed
a composite of a polymer called poly·J&gt;phenylenevinylene (PPV). which Prasad
f1led for patenting earlier this year. This
composite material i.s equally composed
of inorganic glass and a non-linear
orgaoic polymer.
-It is a very unw:uaJ kind of composite
material. • Prasad says. "Traditionally,
plastic and glus were considered like oil
and water: they could not be mixed. • Yet
by uai.og the new "'ol-Jel" processing
method, Prasad wu able to combine lhe
twom.ota1ala.
"With the 'lol-gel' method. one can

process glass at room temperature. and
dry It at a shghtly higher temperature .
allowing you to mi:t 10 the polymer
without burning or 'melting 11 ."' Prasad
ex plams

M

ost ftber..opuc teleph one ltnes used
today arc: made of 1norgan1c glass.
which Prasad says is the best opticaJ
medium but has a vc:ry low non-linear
o ptical coefficient.
..The plastic polymer has a much
larger non-linear optical coefficient, but
as an optical medium it is very •tossy ,' as
most plastic materials can be,.. says
Prasad . -A large non-Unear optical coef·
ficient allows many functions needed for
photonics to be achieved at lower laser
powe r. The- 5(1-50 composite of the PPY
polymer with glass optimizes the clarity
of the glass and the large non-Linear optical coefficient of the polymer.'Prasad says that the market for the
composite is limited at present, because
it.s optical quahty needs to be improved .
''So far we have been succes.sful in that
area. and that has opened up new
avenues by which we: can funher enhance
the optical quality, .. Prasad says . .. We
may be able: to make: very high performance fibers and films .

As for the social views of UB facult y,

needed, that abortion should be legal
and that lhe wealthy should pay mon:
1axes. Most also favon:d abolishing the

Wh ile a fl!th of the faculty at pubtic

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

he future of tbe National Endowment for the Arts,
which has led to colorful confrontations in

Congress and elsewhere, is t.a.king on a local
resonance - one that the University community
should respond to quickly, says Tony Conrad, UB
professor of media study and a noted video artist.
UB currently receives two NEA awards, although
as one of the grants was issued last year, and the
other in the early days of 1990, neither has imposed a
restriction on the use of funds for ~obscene~ work. SUNY
at Binghamton. on the other hand, was, at press time, still
trying to decide how to respond to a $10,000 NEA grant
that came with an anti-obscenity pledge.

In addition, Goodman attacked

Provost William G reiner assured lhc

whatever system is in place at that time
will not be fnx: .
He referred to the possibility of the

that it would be a tragedy for the institution if we would have to substitute the

resolution passed unanimously .
The second resolution calling for co nti nued fnx: transportation generated
more intense discussion. h originall y
recommended that no-fee transportation
"should be given high priority in all ocation of resourca and budgeting." but the
se nate passed an amendment by Ton y
Ralst on, professor of comp uter sctencc.
changing that phrase to ..shall cont in ue ."Then: must be alternatives that an:
less damaging." Ralston said .
The resolution. originally proposed by
Victor Tburonyi. associate professor of
law, noted that a bus fee would disproportionatc:ly bun low-income students,
make bus services less efficient imd ca~
more students to drive to school thus

bringing about "attendant negative
environmental consequences ...
Geof!e Hocbf~eld. professor of English. maint.aincd that the consequences of
the financial crisis should not be felt just
by students. He argued that money could
be saved by eliminating highly-paid

administration positions.
Li.t.ewisc, Robert Pope, aaociaJe professor of history, said that f..:ulty abould
bclp carry the burden piKed on students.
Goodman aaid that a J&gt;&amp;dinl: fee would

The link between Jagidlonian University, one of Europe's okic:st unive:nitics,
and the U ni.-ersity at BuJTalo is especially signifiCant bceauoe the Buffalo
area bu the largest conceotntion of
Polisb-Americam in the United Slates

The U niveniry abo is home to the Polish Room Collcction, a c:ollr:ctioo of
more t1wt 7.000 volama focusing on
Poland-. U1l and bistory. In addition to
books and jouroah, the collcctioG contAins 1ettcn. diaries, maotmc:ripts. pbotograpbs. some films and llideo.
While many excbanse prosrams
between American and Polisb ~
ties involve a traditionaJ exd:t.anF of
studenu and faculty, the UB propmo
instead revolves around the lbemc of
Poland's lrllmition from a communist
centrally planned state to a democratic:

nine children in each of the preschool
classes; no more than six in the schoolage group. Also on the staff arc art ·and
music therapists, psyehologists and registered and licensed practical nuncs.
School board chairman is Ronald H.
Stein, UB's vice president for university
relations. LOP is funded through the
State; Education Department and Eric
County. Its teachers are "incredibly creative" in their approach. says Baiur.
"AUthe children have speech language
problems - that's the criterion for being
at LOP," Bailer says. "Jessica, in addition, bas motor problems, so she gets
occupational and physical therapy as
well. It's a very structURd program there's a 'free play' time, circle time,
snack. time. For eacb of those activities,
there's a real push on language
development."
Jessica is now talking but only in single words and "some phrases," her
mother says. "That's been gradually
increasing. She really dido l talk much at
all until she was two."
Mary-Elaine Birkman is Jessica 's
teacher. Each day she works closely with
the clw' speech pathologist Susan Kuhl,
and aide Sally Duquette. Theirs is a team
approach.
The SEFA campaign continues
through Oct. 26. Beneficiaries of the
appeal are the more than 142 agencies
that make up the several United Way
programs, 35 national health agencies.

• On . the other hand, tbey wrote,

risk, tbe researchers speculated, may be

beverage~ but some component unique to
beer. such as nitrosam.ines.
While the study found risk of

"Women can enter and exit f,rom

Reshaping of administration transforms UB
By GEORGE H0CHF1ELo

F

utu~ hutorians of

Lbe UniveJ suy will pmbably not. I think.
reprd the r=on.tioo of
fralernities and sororities and
ol Division I sports as the most
important accomplishments of Steven
Sample~ presidency. Sometbing else
bas taken plaa: during his tenure that
will have dttpe&lt; and mor&lt; fu-n:acbinB
effects. It is the reshapinB o( the
University's administration in ways that
haY&lt; transformed the character o(
un1vemty life. My purpose: bc:re is to
describe what seem to me the salient
features of Mr. Sample's new
administration. In doing so, I hope: to
stimulate di..scussion of an obviously
important subject .
The administration f ashioocd by Mr.
Sample is marked by at leas! tbJa:
fuodamenw characteristics: 1) it is
wbolly his own creation, and depcedent
on him alone; 2) it consists of a
separate, technocratic caste, unrelated
to faculty, and possessing a special
status; and 3) its purpose is no more
and oo less than to serve as the
instrument of pn::sidcntiaJ controL I
choose to call the sum of these:
chanctcristies a presidcltial model of
management; that is, it resembles the
cabmet organization associated with a
polJticaJ executive , like the Amc:n can
presidency or the British Prime
Ministry. Clearly, it has no resemblana:
at all to what used to he called the
"collegial" model. That model is dead
as a doo rknob. Its decease probably
began under Mr. Ketter, but Mr.
Sampk has once and for all killed it.
By saying that the Sample administration
is whoUy his cn:auon, I mean that
facuhy no longer participate
meaningfull y in its selection, and that
faculty •nte~ts have no serious part in
the selection decision. It is the
Prc:sKtent 's interests that matter . The

members of lbe adminisLTation work

for him, not for the faculty, and he
r&lt;quires loyalty above all, not the
capacity for intellectual leadership.
Siocc policy Oows from him, his
subordinates to a cons.idclllbk extent
bavc come to be intc:rchangeabtc.

favorite locution). Wb.levcr their titles,
they an baYe the ume fwll:tioGs: to
c:any out the President's policies. to
prol&lt;ct his reputation. to draw
attention away from bim in a time o(
&lt;mublc and leave bim alone in the
limclipt in a time of llliClCeaL From
their point of view, IIUCa:SI il Dl:'ver in
doubt, and certain formulaic
expressions of llaltery have become
obliptory among tbem. Wben Ms.
Judith Albino &amp;DI10UDCed ber
doeparture, for example, sbe said, "It's
heeo a special pleasure to note the truly
outstanding progress of tlill University
over the past few years uoder the
leadenhip of President Sample and
Provost Greiner." She bad reasons for
gratitude no doubt, but this style of
congratulation bas the effect of turning
every admi inrative mouth in the
institution 10mewhat mealy. Nor does
it suggest an atmosphere in which
candor and disagreement are likely to
thrive.

T

o bmd h1s team to himself, the
Prestdent bas conferred on its
members what amounts to caste status.
This bas been aa:omplished primarily

by one simple policy (never discussed in
public, however): be pays them
exceedingly weU. Any glimpse into tbe
past of the U aiversity will show thai
there never has been so wide a gap
between the salaries of administrators
and faculty as siocc Mr. Sample's
arrival. By u.sual academic standards
some of them are paid fabulously. This
one stroke is crucial to the presidcntiaJ
model of organization. It mal:es
administrators different, set apart and
above faculty; they belong to the
President who alone can bestow such
rewards .

In contrast, the collegial model was
based on the more or less temporary
service of faculty in administrative
positions. A ·person beca.me a dean or a
vice president, and usually, sooner or

Yes. tha~'s important. but in the

is whether one can ~ e nough

these ~loping lands is
z~nlling's excitement about
his new job. "C r.uu~ I wort.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Personali_ties
Bernstein:
poetry is for
the public
By MARK HAMMER
Reponer Staff

h&lt;a Olarles Bcmstein acceptt:d
the appointment to t~e
David Gray Chair of Poetry
and Letters in the English
Department this past year, he believed he
had found an atmosphere that would be
conducive to his wide·ranging interests
as poet, critic and teacher. However, he
remains cynical about bow American
society regards its poets. "There is no
refuge for poets, except in creative writing programs."
Bernstein was offered a job as chairman of a creative writing program on the
West Coast, but turned down that posi.tion to come to UB ... 1 Like the idea of
having literary artists teaching literature

Because Nanda and his family are citi&lt;e ns of India, they were allowed to cross

aintaining public o rder on
campus was debated at a
Sept. 5 ma:ting of t he
Faculty Senate Execuu ve
Committe&lt;:. The FSEC considened a
proposal by Vice Provost for Student
Affairs Raben Palmer to strengthen the
role of the Hearing Co mmittee for Matn·
tenancc of Public Order in ha ndling on·
camp us disciplinary problems.

Although the SUNY Board of Trust·
ees mandates t he o peration of the co mmille&lt;: at all SUNY schools, Palmer
,o bse rved that loon this particul ar ca m·
pus, we have not act ua ll y util i7..ed thi ~
provision
Palmer stat-.::d tha t part of his du ties as
vice provost were to keep this committee
functioning . .. When I came to th is pos1·
tio n. I developed an action plan to re activate th is co mmittee, .. he said . The
co mmittee is intended to hear i n cidence~
of apparent vio lations of campus rules
committed by students , facult y, or staff,
a nd then to reco mmend to the president

the us.e of reprimand , suspension _ or
ex pulsion.
"If an individual docs damage to per·
sons or propert y, o r disrupts the orderly
conduct of the school, o r invites others
to do so. these things have so far. been
hand led by Public Safety," Palmer said .
" We have had a drastic increase in the
number of cases handled in the Amherst
co urt system, cases that reall y co uld have
bee n dealt wi th on campus by th is _co mmittee. This is reall y. an unnecessary
burden o n that system ...
Palmer requested that t he FSEC
recom mend facult y to this co mmittee.
and that his office will then recomme nd
faculty to the President for appointment.
.. We are looking here to redesign, rc·
structure and rcvitaJize this commi ttee so
we can have a visi ble bod y in co mpliance
with the Board of Trustees, and upl ift the
b urden on Publ ic Safety , " Palm er
maintained.
Palmer's plan incl ude s in volving
fac ult y. staff and st uden ts in the com m it ~
tee 's disciplinary decisio ns. Six fac ult y
a nd si x staff members wou ld be chosen
by their peers, then thi s group would
p1ck six students no minated by each of

the st ud ent governmcnlS. ~They would
act as a si ngle body ." Faculty Scnat&lt;
Chai rm an Willia m A. Miller add ed .
icolas Goodman of Mathematics .
noted that the committee has not
met in the recent past and q uestioned th e
urgency of maki ng new appoi ntees.
.. We 're tal ki ng a bout a grievance committee that has not met at all. yet we have
to go through all of th is noise for a body
that doesn~ d o anything."" Goodman
contended .
Mau reen Jameson of Modern Languages a nd Literatures also questioned
the urgency, especially the timing. of
Palmer's request. .. The timing suggests a
mtJ tiva ti on for so mething else, and I
don 't believe we should touch this issue
until the busing issue is resolved and stu dent protests subside." Jameson said . " If
they (the FSEC) were to start st re ngthening th is co mm ittee at th is particular time.
it mi ght be see n as an aggressive move by
the students. Wo uldn't news abo ut thi s
look threatening?"

Good man said he was - disturbed " by
the implications of Jameso n's remar ks.

wtth my co lleag ues ... Palmer a lso stated
that h1.s o ffice perccwed no urgency and
that the co mmitt ee's presen t sta te of inertia weakened the fu ncuons of h1s office.
Moreover, Palm e r a rgued t hat the co mmitt ee has no po wer to d isco ur age

Albert S teeg mli n of Anthropology
recalled the 1969 arrest of the '"Facult y
45 " for panicipatmg in a su -m . .. It would

appear that their acuvltu:s would have
been a ppropriate for this co mmittee,"
Steegrn an co mmented . Good ma n noted
that the late President Robert L. Ketter
fo rmed a com m1ttee around that time.
and Claude Welch . professor of poli tical
sc1encc, recalled that the Heari ng Com·

In late Jul y, UB officials announced a

Studen ts circulated a pel,ition demandmg among other things, a moratorium

the rally, tbey sought unsuccessfully to ""
enter President Steven Sample's office

been shut off by Public Safety officers.
Students then pqunded o n the fire doors

Palmer Said . .. We want to get a clear

provide to stude nts so that we can

Palmer added: " We will look at costs

...There is not enough money in the
University budget now to allow us to

Pnmary goal of the program . accordmg to TA Workshop coo rdmat or a nd
Disting utshcd Teaching Professor C lyde
F. Herreid. was "to deal with the key
ISS ues which TAs must race when
Instructing a co urse ...
T As were taught ho w to lec ture and
lead a successful discussion . how to
design a good examination and grade it
fairly . how to deal with d ifferences in
students' learning styles, and how to
handle certain classroom problems such
as attendance and cheating.

"Most imponantly,a TA must be pre·
pared," Herrt:jd maintains . .. Man y TAs
who fail walk into a classroom without
having prepared for the class at all.

Wh ether 11 's a la b. a lecture, or g ro up
disc ussiOn. you mu.\t know whitt yo u're
talking about."
J-jcrreid no tes that the Un1 vc rslt ) has
had si milar tramin g programs o ver the
past few years . "The 1 A Wo rk s ho p IS. m

v 1 ce~ . "The program aams to cover a reas
the o ther programs may ove rl ook. as
we ll as bnng together graduate student s
fr o m va rio us departments ...
Jeannelte Ludwig. associate professo r
in modern languages a nd literatu.:es and

acting director of th e OTE, adds that
the "'uneven qual ity" of preparatory programs among the ' : · •us departments
necessitated a can ., - ~1s- wide training

program .
.. Some departments ha ve hi gh ly inten sive programs, while o thers just let them
loose ... Ludwig o bserves. "' I se~ graduate
students as professon-in-t rammg. Presi-

dent Sample said not long ago that you
wo uldn't let an inexperienced TA run a

million-dollar resea rc h laboratory, so
yo u s houl dn't let a TA with no trainjng
try to teac h in an y c lass roo m . Q uaJitatlvely, 1t 's the sam e thing."
he mc reasing reliance upon T As to
handle cou rses in practica ll y all
field s of learning has become a nationwide phenomenon. acco rding to Herreid.
.. Professors are depending more and
mo re o n the ir T As to do the ir teaching
ro r them." he says
Uni ve rsities are also rel ying more
heavi ly on international graduate st uden ts for teaching assignments . .. Many

T

of them not onl y lack teaching expe·
riencc . they must also confront language
and c ultural barriers... Herreid says.

" For the unprepared foreign T A, teaching a class full of American students is
horribly traumati c. The students them-

selves can be just as frustrated, and lose
interest quick.ly. These conditions create
a vicious cycle which must be broken ...
Ludwig compares the relationship
between an international T A and a
gro up of American students on the fa.rst

day of class to "going on a blind date."
The international studeilt feels a lot of
pressure because ~or one, the expectations for students in his or her country
are greater than they are in the U njted

Statt:ll," Ludwig expl4ins. "He or she has
most likely worlr.ed ..,.lith only the creme
de Ia cumt of their country ...
American students nonetheless have

their expectations, Ludwig believes.
"The typical student may be very bright,
but may also have very liftle experience
with internationals, " Ludwig says.
Both Ludwig and Herreid feel that
next year's T A Worlr.shop should make
greater provisions for preparing interna·

tional students for their first day of class.
The workshop turned out '"exceptionally well," Herreid said. "Everything we
planned went without a hitch, and we
had TAs from across ·the University
involved," be says. Roushly 55 TAs
attended the program, according to
Henderson.

Laurence SctmCider, professor and
associate dean of history, who Ludwig
says provided the inspiration for the
worlr.shop, said be is "quite satisfied with
the resu!U."
The TAa themsc:lvct~ expressed a certain degnc of satisfaction with the program, according to their respo111e1 on
evaluation forms. Replied one lfllduate
student: "I am excited about teaching in
a way I wasn't before. I am more
confident."

oesign assistance

By PATRICIA DONOVAN
News Bureau StaH

rchi tectur al stude nt s and
fac ult y of U B's Adaptive
Environment Laboratory arc
fast developing reputations for
their design assistance to the disabled .
It's a tall order for a little shop - ~uir·
ing complex solutions to stielcy design
problems at a low cost, while mecting
rigid federal building ~l!iremcnts.
The lab, directed by Edward Steinfeld,
professor of arcbitecture, conducts
research and designs "products" and
environments such as bathrooms for the
blind; a hoist for people witb severe mus·
cular weakness and quadriplegia; kitchens or bedrooms for use by persons
with spastic and crippling disabilities.
On a busy day in the lab, students can
be working on computer-aided design or
witb full-stted corrugated cardboard
models witb which .they construct moveable walls, adjustable doorways, coun·
ters .... tubs. n ' 'sinks, .... toilets'' and

They construct small model rooms
that indicate how .a stroke victim might
enter a bathtub ~ his or her own or how
someone in a .Wbeelcbair could easily
reach and use a sink at one height and
then raise it for use by someone else. A
blind client-&lt;:.Onsultant may describe to
an attentive student how he uses hi.s
sense of sound and touch to defme space.
All over the r&lt;&gt;&lt;?m, -product and housing
designs arc: in variow stages of two- and
thrce-dimensiooal construction.
Ideas for making tbc living space more
accessible to the disabled are developed
in conversations with and observations
of the disabled consultants. r&gt;esigns may
then be computer-modeled and g1ven

models and then 1n full -scale models.

Developmental Disabilities Service Offices, an agency o perating under the aus pices of the New York State Office of
Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities .
The center operates 20 group home ~

FDC recently gave the service facilities
and organi1.at.ioos permission to contract
locaJiy for renovation p'\"ojccts up to
S20,000.
Ted Juda. J .N . Adam's contract
administrator, said "'the state had been
contracting with large archite ctural
firms , and most weren't really mte rested
in these: little renovation projects. Even af
tbey were interested, we often ended up
with work that didn't meet federal stan·

"The students came out
here and really iistened
to us. They turned in
some excellent
suggestions."

Games foster exchange
between UB, Sheffield
By ROBERT T. WATERHOUSE
Reponer SlaH

W

bile J oseph Baldwin helps
his parents with the last of
the summer chores before
board ing a plane to Sheffield, England, Janet lnoe, a student
from Sheffield, is having her lint taste of
AmeriC8JI suburban life.
The two students switch places as part
of a new exchange agreement between
UB and the University of Sheffield . First
announced in early Man:h, the &amp;BRCment grew out of the choice of Shefflcld
and Buffalo as hosts for the World University Games: Sheffield will offer its
hospitality to the Games in 1991 , BuJialo
in 1993.
The agreement. which was signed February 21 by Presidenl Sample and John
Padley, regiJtrar and secretary of the
UDiversity of Shcfficld, commits each
university to ex:cbange a total of three
students a year for the next three years.
" We only have five exchange programs
with the U.S .," said Padley in a telephone interview with the &amp;portl!r. ...So
you can see that we're ta..kiog our relations with UB very seriously - ...., don\
sign agreements like this one every day."
"Tlje agreement stA:ms f rqm a shai-ed
interest in the World University Games,"
added Alan Barnes, provost of international education at Sheffield University.
" We were all at last year's games in West
Ge rm any. and I suggested t o SU NY Buffalo t h at

The Games are not the only thing the
1 wo un iversi ties h a ve in commo n .
Acco rding 10 Stephen D unnell, UB
associate pro vost fo r international programs a1 UB, one of the fringe benefits of
the exchange was the sisterhood of the
1wo cities: both built their heritage largely o u1 of steel; both have altempted to
shed the grainy background of an industri al his1ory for another, more developmenial image. " I think tbe implicit link
be1wee n t he 1wo places makes the
agreement all the mo re exciti ng. .. said
Dunnett.

said in a telephone interview. • weVe
exchanged a lot of expertise on bow universities can develop that role. "
lbe economic ramifiCIItions of the
agreement will be just one of the-topics
on the agenda of the World University
Congress, wbich will be held in Londoo
July 10-14. lbe Congress, wbich will
meet to discuss "Universities and their
Global Perspectives , " will hear an
address by President Sample.
" All the University presidents will be
there, and then, on the 14th, everyone
will travel to Sheff1tld for the official
opening of the Games," said Padley.
The exchi.JII'C is of especial intA:rest to
Joscpb Baldwin, who chose the sist&lt;:r~ ood of the two cities to form the core of
his mastA:r's thesls.
"I expect Sheffield to be a lot like lur' uo - a rust belt city that bounced

vrk on his degree m architecture in
1gland . He adds thai, a&lt;:cording to his
scareb into the redevelopment o(
dustrial sites, Sheffield is a f!w jumps
_ 1ead of the game. Ml'm intA:reoted in
.•1w they re~ their industrial buildinp
..nd how BuJialo and other American
mdustrial cities could do the same.•
Baldwin bad planned a trip ~o Sbcflleld before UB announced its exch&amp;Qge
•rogram. "SheffJeld was sujgest&lt;:d to me
because one professor did his master's of
architecture there....
But Janel lnce, a student of En&amp;Jish
lilerature at Sbef!ield University who
jumped at a chance to enroU in American
sludies in America, is stiU =9ilillll from
the differences between the two cultures.
Accustomed to the business of the comparatively •maller sister city, she found
the sprawling reaches of Amherst especially intimidating.
•
" I like it now," she said , • but at lint I
feh very isollfled . Witboul a car, you're
vinually a prisoner. But once all the stu·
dents starud arriving and the buses
started running. it was better."'

Editor.
On July 26, 1990 the: R~ponn had an
art1cle announctng the recipients of the
UU P I NYS Exa:llence Awards. This
antclc: omiued so me important facts.
wh1ch I will set forth now.
The ExcellentX A wards wert negotiated
as Article 21 of the currenl UUP
Agreeme nt. Eac h chapter of U UP had its
own co mmittee. 1ts own standards. and
Its own recipients. All of my remarks
apply to the Buffalo Center C hapter onlv.
Our JocaJ comm1ttec was composed of
s1x people, UB President Samp le assigned
Ellen McNamara (Perso nnel). Dean
Pruitt ( Psychology). and Scott Williams
( M athemallcs): U UP Pres1dent Reilly
appo anted Harvey Aderod (Co mputin g
Ce nter) , Barbara Bono (Enghsh) and
\.tary Cassa ta (Co mmunacat ions). This
local committee establis hed local
guidelines which mcluded mini mal years
of service
seven. as well as equal
emp.hasls~ on acad.e mic and co?Imun~t y
SCrvlOC. Co mmum ty scrv1oc m1ght
mclude. but was not lim1ted to,
Umvers1ty serv1ce, SUNY servtce. serv1ct
to professional organil.atio ns. public
co mmunit y service: or union service. A
sense of being well-rounded was so ught
Th ts committee i.s to be commended
for its hard work. 1ts good humor under
pressure. and Its determination to stick t o
1ts own guideljoes.
Bcc:ausc of tbe deadlines imposed by
the Statewide Joint Labor/ Mana~menl
Co mmittee: this co mmittee worked
f urlC!,usly and intensely for well over a
month. We deliberated through 56
ca ndid a tes in o rder to arrive a.t 12
rec1p.ients and ) alternates. The R~portn
an icle failed to dislingws h recipients by
Chapte r. Ow recipients were: Ben Agger

I take umbrage at the use of the world
.. prize ... The recipients wen: awarded a
S3.000 .ri~nd.

Finally. I wish to commept on the
unique joint decision-maki ng used in th 1s
selectio n process. It featured both peer
reView and management 10put. It avoided
the long bureaucratic gaun tlet tha t is part
of our discretionary award process. Thus.
you made your case and much of the
politics was removed . In my humble
optnio n. the decision-making model used
fo r Excellence Awards wou ld be a cleane r
and more succmct a pproach to

�Give Your Way
Support SEFA

for our community
.,._c ...... ..
I am pleased and honored to have been asked to chair the
University's 1990 SEFA Campaign. I have had the opportunity to
be involved in the University's SEFA Campaign for a number of
years and know firsthand of the generosity of University
community members such as you. Thanks to your generous
giving, we have raised record amounts of money to help support
a wide variety of pealth and human service agencies.
One of the advantages of the SEFA Campaign is the breadth of
the services provided by its member agencies. In addition to
agencies servicing Western New York, SEFA allows you to
designate dollars to support a wide variety of national and
international health and human service agencjes. I urge you to
look through the SEFA Dimtory of Community Stroicts that is
included in your SEFA packet to see for yourself the range of
critical services that can be supported through your gift. I believe
you will disc;over that you, your family, friends and neighbors
have benefitted from SEFA's family of agencies.
Despite our generous g) ving and the excellent work of SEFA
agencies, the need for more SEFA services continues to grow. If
you gave to last year'~ SEFA Campaign, I urge you to consider
increasing your gift this year. If you did not give, I hope that you
will make at least a small contribution tltis year. To make giving
easy, you can utilize. our payroll deduction plan. This option
allows you to designate an amount to be -laken out of each check,
and therefore spread your gift over the en tire year. You can also
make a cash or check contribution, or choose to be billed in the
futurt&gt; .
Regardless of how you choose to give , you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that your dollars are being used to help
other individuals in need and to provide important services in our
community. Thank you again for your gift to the 1990 SEFA
Campaign.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

new era of UB football was unveiled last weekend as the Bulls faced the Blue
Devils of Central Connecticut State. UB 's new coach, Sam Sanders, is the
man picked by the administration to lead the Bulls into the ranks of Division
I AA football, not an easy move by any stretch of the imagination.
When Sanders accepted the job as head coach of the Bulls last
January, he understood that he had his work cut out for him. His
outlook hasn't changed in the past eight months. "We' ve got our hands
full ," he said last week.

Personalities
Performing, writing: Harbach does it all
By MARK RUFF
Reporter Staff

"I'm very
much into
music being
expressive,
accessible,
and .
interesting."

B

arbara Harbach ;. a musical
go-getter of almost unbridled
energy. The UB lecturer and
SUNY Faculty Exchange
Scholar, named by Keyboard. magazine
as one of the top classical keyboard players of 1989, is a concert organist and
harpsichordist, composer, church o~. ist and choir director and mustc
publisher.
In achieving such eclecticiBm, Harbach
has not sacrificed depth. She currently
has seven compact discs oo the mark::et
that feature works for harpsichord and
organ. Last year, Gramophone labeled
her an .. aclcnowledged interpreter and, indeed, muse - of modern harpsichord music ...

- BARBARA
HARBACH

In a recent interview, Harbach drew
an analogy between her range of interests
a nd the current artistic climate . .. Our

lives are so hectic and chaotic·. I really
don think I have time to think about it
- and I don' sleep!"
This fast pace of life. however, is precisely what Harbach finds most exciting
in the contemporary musical scene .
.. There's so much that went on in the
20th century - changes 1n rhythm,
meter, harmony...
/
Not surprisingly, Harbach maintains
an acti ve involvement in contemporary
music. Sh~ ha,., given th~ world premiere
of more than a dozen p1eces for organ

Barbam Harbach

and harpsichord. These works were specifically written fur her by composers

does not neglect the past. A5 a scholar,
she has unearthed the works of hitherto
forgotten 18th century keyboard composers. Her di scoveries began in Britain.

such as Vincent Persichetti and Samuel

Adler .
Not conten t to be a performer of contemporary mustc. Harbach is also a pr olific co mposer. Characteristical ly, her
output is eclec ti c 1n both s tyl~ and fu nction. Sh~ wrote one work for harps•cho rd ... Spaind ai ngo ... in a S pams h vein;
she often produ ces an them s and what
she labels yo uth musicals for her church
choirs. One such musicaJ was entitled

"Daniel and the Beastly Knight. "
She explained that sbe has two ways of
writing music. ..Sometimes I have an
idea in mind, a structure, or a fuzzy picture. Other times, I just start and it
creates itself. It just flows out and there it
is."'
A key feature of the music Harbach
performs aod writes ~ aocessibility.

Although pieces like Stravinsky's "Rite
of Spring" caused riots arooi~&lt; concertgocn earlier in the century, sbc notes

that they now fall relatively easily oo
modern ears. While some music written
this century conscio usly aimed to disregard and even frighten the audience,
Harbach insists that the times are cnaoging. .. We need ~udiencest We're not into
frightening people. I'm very much into
music being expressive, ac:cess.ib le and
interesting ...
What int rigues Harbach most about
co ntemporary music is the putting
together of aJI of these diverse musical
ingredienu. In other disciplines, this

might be termed the essence of postmod ·
emily. "We're approaching the turn of
the century, whjch historically has been a
time of ferment and change in mus ic . It 's
a time of excitement and energy ...
Harbach focuses on the past, but she

where she h as since made many finds.
M ost of these composers, such as Eliza-

beth Tu rner , who had not been listed in
an y key board literature, were women

from upper middle and upper class
backgrounds. She commented: "Some of
them I'd never even heard of before ....

T

bat they were women did not mean

tbat they W&lt;:re poorly trained or

unversed in proper technique. On the
contrary, most had Jludied with the top
keyboardists aod composcn of the time
Because of their backgroi!Dds aod tbcir

gender, many simply did not ba"" to
conform to the rules of the day. AI; a
result, their compositions, according to
Harboch, are often more interesting than
thooc of the 1eac1iJ18 composen of the
day.
Though mOSt of her fmdJ have been

not discriminate on the basis of gender.

in point. "'Then:'• equal opportunity

In part to showcase her interests in
contemporary and 18th century music,
last August she co-founded Vivace Press,
a music publishing house. Jonathan

Yordy, a member of the EngliBh facult y
at Buffalo State College, collaborated
with her on ten sacred anthems for chorus and keyboard . He wrote the word s,

School of Music. "I'd love to sec Vivace
grow ... she commented .

"

H arbacb 's endeavors in scholarship
and publiBitiog should not obscure her
status as an eminent k.eyboardist. In
reviews. she is ro utinel y referred to as a
vutuoso harpsic hordist. She recounted
the story of her receiving one of the most

prestigious awards at the Musikhocbsc hulc in Frankfurt, Germany. After
playing before a panel of 12 judges, sbe
found that she was the ftnt woman and
the fint American to win the award.
Her recording career was launched

unexpectedly. The program director at a
classical radio station in Rochester asked
her if she would be interested in making
a recording at a little church io Lyons,
near

Rochester.

She agreed,

but

approached tbc matter "lightheartedlY."
noting that most engagemcnu did not

lead to much. The program director sent
out a sampling of ber work - what abc
labelled a "teaser" to Gaspard recorda. A
fc:w months later, she received an offer.
Sbe has oince produced seven compact
discs and more than seven records.
" It was like everything else in tbc
recording business: tbe rightJ&gt;COJ&gt;Ie, ~
right time, aod luck. Talent IS a g~veo .
Harbach spoke highly of Gaspard . As
a smaller company, she observed,

yas-

pard has offered her the nexibility.'!'nd

anistic freed om that a larger label m1ght
not. " Most of these larger labels are mak·
ing recordings of the same traditionaJ
repertoire . Do W&lt;: really need a .25~

r.:cordi ng of tbe (ll«thoven V) Ero1ca
Her current recordings with Gupard
th us run the gamut from co ntemporary
organ and harpsichord music to Amencan hymn preludes and J . S. Bach 's " Art

SANDERS
Con~~. fr()ITl P.age 1_
Staying competitive will be: a top goal
for Sanders as UB mates its way into
Division I AA , and the Bulli, though
t hey lost to the Division II Blue Devils
31&gt;-25 on Saturday, kept the score close
tn their fin:t game.
"You have to be: realistic and if I'm one
thing, I'D) realistic," said Sanders, wbose
1deo logy ltbward the game of foot ball
relies greatly upon this si mple maxim .
"' Wr. have s hon -term goals bere, .. be
sa1d Sande rs has used this day-by-&lt;lay
routtne {rom the stan and struct u~ a
football program at UB that rehes
etJuaJJy upon attitude and ability.

N

elson T ow nscnd , director of the
D1v ts1on of Athletics, says be has
bee n greatly impressed by Sanders' work
and hi s philosophy toward the game .
··sam has done curtly what we expected
h1m to do . He really has re newed the att 1 ~
t ude of the program."'
What Sanders has done is to mstall a
variety of new fonnauons on offense and
defense . Hr. e.-. plamed that although
there are o nl y a few specifi c moves a
coac h can change on defense , offense ts a
different story. '" I've taken all the best
parts of several o ffensive sc hemes I've
seen and put them together. ..
Townse nd reahz.es what a difficult Lasi

Sanders was an assLS tan t coach (or
Northern Illinois, Le high, and the Canadian Foot ball League's Toronto Arg&lt;r
na uts and was head coacb at Alfred University. He feels his experience in tbe
pros was an essential preparation toward
coaching in the college l'lUlkJ onoc: again.
.. With the pros, you have a lot more time
to prepare off the field . I'm great at eva·Juating fllm now." Sanden explained
that altbough his players woo' have the
time to watch game film. be will be: able
to pass along such information be feels
most oc:cessary to preparing them fo r
games.

Sanders understands the kind of dedication it wiU take to make tbe Bulls a contender in Division I. 11tis is the same
situation I was inls a player back in the
'50s. In 1956, UB decided it wanted to
upgrade the football program and every

team with the team be played on in 1956.
"This year's team is the foundation of the
whole program. They're the fust building
blocb toward ma.i&lt;.iog the jump to Division I. Although be doeso' want to restrict
his recruiting to the Buffalo 1lJQ, Sanden fceb that it is of the utm- importa.na: to keep abn:at of the various bi&amp;b
schools in and around Buffalo. "We bave

And with the expanoion of UB Statium
from its preocnt c:apa:ity of 4,000 to
30,000 for the 1993 World Univenity
Games, pte receipts could end up playing an important role in the financial
well-being of the football program.
"Gale receipts will bdp with recruiting
and if it goes well t:DOUBh, we'll be: able to
help out other athletic prop-ams within

Library searches ease, thanks to new BISON ·system
atroos of UB's extensive lit&gt;rary network are finding an
attractive new tool this scmesLer. one that makes searching
fo r book titles easier and more cond uctve
to creati vity in research and study .
BISON - o r Buffalo lnfonnauon
System ONline
re places the card
ca\alog with 125 terminals lin ked to a
database con taining about 1.5 million
babliographic reco rd s.
The system al lows the user to search
not o nly by subject. title and author, but
also by keyword . In this way , unusual
JUXtaposi tions of subject areas that art:
the focus of someone's studaes
will
show up in. say, the subtitle of a book .
Also , the new system allows use rs to
sea rch the book and journal co llections
of all the UB Libraries from a term inal 1n
any location. Beginning in January. one
w11l be able to search for act ual jo urn al
a n1cle titles. Additionall y, BISON lists
books on order and aut o matically
updates the database when th~ books
arc received and catalogued . Pnnters are
avai lable for lengthy search results.

P

Workshops are being held to familiarize
patrow with the new system (see RLpor·
'" calendar).
.. We're very excited about the new system,"' said Associate Vice President for
Universi..ty Libraries Barbara von
Wahlde. "The card catalogue has complicated filing rules tbat the ave rage
reader d oesn't always underst a nd . ··
Moreover, she added , the kind s of
searches available with BI SON allow one
to make many more combinations than
is possible with the card catalogue. Also ,
the system allows simuiLaneous use, so
there is no waiting around wbiJe so meo ne else has the card catalogue drawe r.
The keyword search feature is not just
fo r scholars, emphasized Beverly Feldman. bead of reference for the Undergr ad ua te Library. '" It may even be more
useful for the stud ent who may only ha ve
a vague notion of what he o r she IS
searching for ... The keyword feature is
especially helpful to th ose who do not
know an exact subject heading. or who
fmd irre levant or inadequate records
under the card catalogue subject head-

ing. A search for boob on Russian
ballet, for example, reveab a range of
provocative subtopK:s. any one of which
may point the student in an inten::sting
direction. "Often," added Feldman, "the
subjc:ct headings in tbe card catalogue
don' reflc:ct bow people actually express
topics ...
y November, the University Libraries expect to add another 22() ports
- or connectors for remote a.coess. In
this way, anyone who bas a personal
co mputer with a modem, or who has a
terminal or PC connc:cted with the Universi ty's mainframe will be able to use
the indexing system directly. What's
more. tbe Libraries plan to eventually
add more fea tures, sucb as the ability to
search periodical indexes including tbe
Human ities Index , Social Sciences
Index, General Science Index, Applied
Science and Technology Index and
Readers ' Guide With AbstracU.
Eventually, patrow will be: able to tell
from BISON wbether a book bas been
cbectal out md if ao, wbeD i1 is dae

B

bact. Anntber c:nhaDCCment will be lints
to the library cataloguea of the other
SUNY Centen.
Students, c::speciaUy, are enthuaiatic
about the new ~ 1q10rtod Feldman. "People are clamoring for diaHn
aa:eu. • Tbere wiD be contiDuaiiDOIIitoring for improvement as the syotcm
unfolds, abe added.
The system, explained von Wahlde, is
run on UB'I IBM mainframe computa"
using a powerfulaoftware oeucb IJilem
calk:d NOTIS. Tbe aoftware wu Clevdoped by Northwestern Uoivenity and is
designed for large academic JUearCh
libraries. Currently it is in use at more
than 100 sites in North America, iDduding the Univenity of Micbipn, Comell,
Yale, Vanderbilt, York and McMaster.
Tbe BISON system wu cootly to

Pacific Rim universities
challenge U.S., Altbach says
By PAlltiCIA DONOVAN

·A

News Bureau SlaH

sian nations have historica.Jiy
depended on the West for
bigber education and scientific
research, but a leading educational researcher says the balllll&lt;X is
cbanging and Americans can no longer
consider the PacifiC Rim universities
intellectual colonies of the United States.
Philip G . Altbaclt, professor of education and director of the ComparatiY&lt;:
Education Center at UB, notes that while
American universities, ideas, research
and scholars remain a powerful influena:
in Asia, that power is diminishing as universities in Japan and the oewJy industrialized countries of the Pacific Rim
become truly "'world class" institutions.
.. Not only can Pacific Rim universities
otTer sophisticated knowledge about
Asian societies, .. he says, ... but iocreasmgly thert: is much that Americans can
learn from scientific research and appli cat io n 1n Asian universities. Higher education (in tbc:sc nations) has emerged as a
wor ld fonx
American universities
must lake it seriously ...
Altbach maJntains that for the 11mc
beang, the -know ledge halan cc - IS 'itill 1n

"There is much that
Americans can learn
from scientific research
and application in
Asian universities."
PHILI P G AL TBACH
1hc: United States' favor. With o utstand mg umvcrsitic:s comtng into their own
along the Pacific Rim , however. tbc United States will face unprecedented competition io t.hc: production of knowledge
and knowledge products
one of the
few areas in which the U.S . retains a
favorable tnode balllll&lt;X.
"Such top-flight un iversities already
e&gt;&lt;ist in Japan and Australia,· be says,
.. and otben ~emerging in Korea., Taiwan, Hong Kong and other Pacific Rim
nations.
-For now, American resea..n:.h and
education expenditores remain domi nant . .. he: adds. '"Most major scientific
JOurnals an still edited ln tbc United
States; and the English language remains
Lbe sundard for scientific communication worldwide. Also, the U.S . i&gt; still the
major bost country for more: than onethird of all foreign scholars studying outside: their own nations. This is important
because foreign studenu often seek to
AmericaniK their own institutioos when
Lbcy return boa&gt;e."
1bc implications of this tnditional
imbalaDce in the knowled&amp;e tnde have
not been lost on the PacifiC Rim nations.
Nor have their goV'etlliDents failed to

them an advantage over their domestically educated peers," Altbacb points

out. "They often return as well with a
loyalty to the intellectual style and products of the host country - a prefen:uce
that enbanoes the economy of the bost
nation."'
He points to clear attempts by Pacifoc
Rim nations to alter that trend. They
include major pro~ undertaken by
several Asian countries to improve the
quality and scope of higher education in
their nations and to attnoct new students
from abroad.
-rop-ticr Japanese institutions like the
University of Tokyo and Kyoto University," Altbacb says, "have bend'ltal from
increased public and private funding
directed to graduate education and
rescarcb, aDd the Japanese are seeking to
dramatically increase the number of foreign students studying in Japan."
There i&gt;, in Altbach 's view, additional
evidence of advancing Pacific Rim educational development:
• Japanese scholars increasingly publish in major international scientific
Jo urnals and a significant number of
academic journals, including many in
Engl is h. ha ve been established in Japan.
• The Japanese have been very active
•n developtn g new compu ter -based

di s ~cm1 n a tt o n

systems

to

obtain 1nfo rrnat 10n from abroJ:t.d and to
ensure that Japanese scientific research is
recognized internationall y.
• Efforts are being made to ensure
that major research initiatives reflect the:
Japanese government's broader policy
and economic goals.
• Taiwan and Korea both haY&lt;: Americanized their academic systems.. which
were originally patterned after bienon:bic
Japanese models. The two nations have
rapidly expanded their higher education
systems. which aJ"e buill upon a base of
very high qualit y secondary school systems and a rigid exami nation system.
Both haY&lt;: also established scientifoc
journals.
• Taiwan and Korea baY&lt;: both
worked to cn::.atc elite: scic:ntifac institutions and have linked them to the international scientific system and to emerging high-tech industries.
• 1bc combination of fairly generous
resources for the elite sectors of bigber
education and an inaeasingly. welltrained professorate have allowed Taiwan and Korea to build up academic
instit utions that meet the highest inlenlational standanls.
• Evidenoe from Taiwan, Koru and
lodia suggests that the bnin drain of
Soutbc&amp;st Asian scbolan to the United
States may not be permanent and that
many scholars return bome after years of
U.S. living to become Kt.i&gt;e both ia their
native universities and in private
iudustry.
Altb.ach says his research supports the
idea that Asian scialtists trainiDc iD thoe
U.S. are the most importaat fiiClOncootriboting to thoe tcclmolosical llowaia&amp;
of the Pacifoc Rim.
He notes that thoe U.S. "'remaiDs thoe

mg theu 70th birthda y." Miller said.
~ But it 's not just a moraJ consideration.
Mandatory retirement creates a lot of
problems related to facult y losses. I've
read recently that roughly 55 percent of
teaching faculty will reach retirement age
m only 10 or 15 years. That raises con·
cc ms with recruitment. "
Reliance upon the "" bab y boom ..
generation to fill in ga ps left by retired
faculty could prove unstable, Miller contended . "It has been eco nomically tough
for members of that generation. Because
the~ are so many of them. they are consta ntly competing for a limited number
of positions. often having to move
around a lot to get the jobs they wanL
And the length of ti.tm it takes to get
tenure detcn many of them from entering or remai..niq in the academic world .
Hopefully those wbo have left will decide
to come back. ..

O n th at no te . William A. Miller, c h air
of the U B Faculty Senate. believes dismissal due to incompetence .. could well
be invoked more heaviJ y" as a consequenc::e of elim.inatillB mandatory retirement. .. Competence policies have always

existed on the books. but have rvely
been used ." Miller o bserved. "Many
stayed on until the last minute who
should have called it quits at 50 or 60.
Now, however, more attention may be
paid to yearly ~WCSSments of tenured
facult y than before Ithough Miller claimod U B bas no
official position on the revoking of
mandatory retirement, he pcnonally
finds tbe move to be a good idea . .. Many
universities expanded greatly in the '60s

A

Miller's final objection to mandatory
retirement stems from his belief that
.. one tends more to improve with age
than to dc:cline -althoup that ·might be
a personal bias of mine." Nonetbeless,
tbe professor in stomatology and interdisciplinarY sciences lrnows "many firstclass people in resean:h who an: in their
so-called 'twiliabt yean'."

they had prior to retirement. Now that's
exploitation!" Potter also mentioned
that the use of mandatory retirement to
weed o ut incompetents is unnecessary.
''The SUNY system aln::ady has provisions which call for the immediate dismiss.a.J of an yo ne proven to be inco mpetent," Potter said .

ogy professor at Arizona
Stat&lt; University, bring&gt; with
him yean of c:xpe:ric:oo: studying volcanoes and discusses
his rcsean;h .
"I didn\ always study vol canoes," be said . "I got my
Ph.D . in mioera.logy. But an
1970 I went on an expedition
to lcdand and witnessed Volcano Hckla cruptiD&amp;. That's
wbcD I realimd I waDL&lt;d to
study volcaDocs and began

Sheridan will be the U.S.
leader of a team of scientisu

going to the Soviet Uoion
next August uodcr the sponsoBhip of Earthwatcb to
study the active volcanoes of
KamcbatkL They will be tbe
first foreign group allowed
into tbe formerly restricted
area over wbicb the Ko~
jetliner 007 was sbot down.
Studying bot ash and lava
flows bas taken Sheridan to
remote COI'JICD of the &amp;lobe,
seeking to learn more about a
volcaoo'l " ' - of
developmeoL
·A volcaoo is like a buman'
bein&amp;• be explaiocd. "It has a
birth, periods or IICI.ivity and
tbcD it dioca. A volcaao will
have perioda of ioadivity durin&amp; wbicb it appears dead and
tbcD awakeD~. •
Aa:orclin3 to Sbesidao, this
period or awakeniD&amp; is eaJicd
"crisis" and bappelll suddenly
wbcD n&lt;&gt;lhiDI appears
imm.iocnt.
•
"Wbea El Chi Cbon
erupted. it was ooc of the
most violent cruptioos in
reccat doadea. • be said. "But
prior to that. it wun \ consid-

&lt;ted IICI.ive, even tbougb
there was steam coming o u t

of tbe grouod."
SheridaJJ 's definition of an
active vo&amp;cano is one whose
eruptions have bc:cn documented in history. AJthough
volcanic eruptions occurred m
every pan of the world during
geological time, historic
records have narrowed 1he
numbers. 1bc::sc histone
accounts. according to S hen dan. may differ from culture
to cuhu~ .
'""haJy or Greece can hav~
an active vo)ca.no without
activity for hundreds of yea~
bec.zfusc their civilization~
recorded things for a long
pcnod of time . It would he
diffcn:nt 1n South Amenca . A
volcano may not be consid ered active bc:causc their
reccrded bistory doesn' begtn
until the conquest. ..

Working with otber scientisu, Sheridan uses computer
images and satellite photo-

graphs to pinpoint boupots

there , a thrtt-dimensional
model LS made to t.racx" the
pro bable movement of Ia va

and what to do in time o f e n S IS, Shcndan believes li ves can

- A good example of th1s.he: suggested , "'was the truptaon of Volcano Ruiz in
C olombia. The government

bad actually ~ a st ud y of
the possibility of bot mud
affecting a:rtain areas around
tbe volcano . But tbis ioformation never reacbed tbt people
in time.
"People bad 15 minutes to
respond aft&lt;r bearing the
sounds of the mud flow comtog down tbe valley. Man y
people died trying to outrun
the scaJding hot mud . No o ne
to ld them they could be sa ved

Twenty- fi~ thous.a.nd peo ple
died , but a sljght d ifference 1n

Sheridan, ra:alhng his ad vt:n ture in the West Indies
.. 1 was traveling wllh a
"~&amp; roup from Los Alam os
National Laboratory. We
went to LaSoufriere, which
means tbe sulfur factory . We

went there to monitor the
volcano because 15.000 peo-

ple bad been evacuated and
wanted to know how serious
the volcanic activity was.
"We climbed to tbe top of
the mountain where it had
cracked open. Sulfuric fumes
were coming out and sulfur
crystals we~ forming on my
eyebrows. It was difficult to
breathe so we went to a
neighboring island and t he
next day LaSoufriere

exploded."
Sheridan says hls work o n
nsk mjtigahon will cobunue
at U B and says the Geology
Department will purchase a
new scanning electron microscope to help study vo lcame
debris But Sheridan sa ys
there 1s a more important rea son for com m g to U B.
.. I su ppose tbc principal
reason for choosing this
school is that I felt the faculty
in the Geology Department is
in tune for the 1990s. We
have faculty who have
obtained resean:h grants to
study earthquake risk . I also
sec the role of geology in
waste management as an
imponant issue in the I 990s.
"'We: have racult y mvo lved

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

His most important contributions are
Ch urch's Theorem, which establishes a
fundamental timitation of computers,
and Church's Thesis, a keystone axiom
in the way we look at mathematics
today.
When Church started working in the

IRA MICHAEL HEYMAN
DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS
Ira Michael Heyman, chancellor of th&lt;
University of California at Berkeley since
1980. has shown wisdom. vision . and
co urage in guiding b~ univers1ty through
a decade of extraor¢ .1ary change and
eno rmous growth.
Heyman has been 1n the forefro nt of
one of our nation's greatest social expenments in higher education . He has carried out pioneering efforts to develop a
social environment reflecting the needs
of a multicultural state and nation.
He recruited st udents and faculty from
diverse cultural background s while
maintaining Berkeley's preeminence in
sc holarly endeavors and improving
undergraduate education. His bold initial!ves have been controversial, but his
success has been ind isp utable. In the past
nine: years. the percentage of undergraduate students from ethnic minorities
has grown from 30 percent to
percent. witb African-Americans and Hispanics accounting for most of the
change.
Heyman has also enjoyed remarkable
success in developing Berkeley's physical
and financialresourccs. Donations to the
public university tripled during his
tenure as chancellor, enabling Berkeley
to continue its long tradition of academic
exccU"C.nct .
In April 1989 he promulgated a long·
range development plan• for Berkeley's
physical development projects through
the year 2005, with an accompanying
environmental impact report. This plan
not only addresses the needs for
Improvements in teaching and research
facilities and student housing, but aJso
takes up enVironment al concerns such as
reducing traffic and congestion and
increasing open and park-like space.
A lawyer by training and practice,
Heyman is the au thor of numerous a~~­
cles and papers in tbe areas of c1vtl
rights, constitutional law, land planrung,
metropolitan government, bousmg,
environmental law and management and
afflrmative action.
A highly respected leader in American
higher education, Heyman has served in
key positiom in major national organizations including the Association of American Universities and the National Association of State Universities and
Land-Grant Colleges. The French
government honored bim with the Chevalier de Ia Legion. d'Honneur in _1985.

that give today's
pacemakers their long lives.
A quiet and curious man, Greatbatch has pursued a wide range of
research interests.
Although be was trained as an electrical enginee11, receiving his master's
degree from UB in 1957, Greatbatch
has worked primarily in interdisciplinary areas combining engineering
with other areas, such as medical electronics, agricultural genetics, the elec-

trochemistry of pacemaker batteries.
and the electrochemical po larization

Greatbatch has established a se nes

Great batch Limited employs 400 people and manufactures most of the
world's pacemaker battenes .

I

n 1984. the National Society of
Professional Engineers chose the
pacemaker as one of the 10 major
engineering contributiOns 1n the last
50 years. Greatbatcb. an adjunct professor io UB's Department of Elec tri cal and Comp uter Enginee ring. also
received an honorary doctorate from
UB th at year.
In 1986, Greatbatch was inducted
into the National Inventors Hall of
Fame, joining the likes of Thomas

Louis Pasteur. He was eleeted to the
National Academy of Engineering in
1988.
The Norton Medal, previotl!ly the
Chancellor's Medal, was initiated by
Charles P. Norto!l..l"ho served u Vjce
Chancellor of UB from 1905 to 1909
and Cbancellor from 1909 to 1920. He
was a member of the Buffalo bac, one

of the founders of the law sc hool and
made t he University heir to his estate .
In addi tion. he left a fund to cover the
cos t of the medal given annually. The
award was first presented in 1925 to

co uncil. who has done "some great
th1ng that dignifies Buffalo 10 the eyes
of the world ."
··origmall y It was called the Cha ncellor's Meda l," said John Thurston
of Umvcrsi ty Relations . ~ But to av01d
any confusion. It should now be called
the Norton Medal . That's because the
University no longer has a chancellor
but a president. There is a chancellor
over the e nti re SUNY system. And
there are other chancellor's awards
but this one is solely for the
University ...
Originally the medal was awarded
each year on Washington ·s Binhday
according to Norton 's directive but
today it is given out during commcncemenL The first recipient was

�Sample tells·FSEC budget situation is 'grim'
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
ReportO&lt; Sto_H_ _ _ _ _ __,._ __

N

o budget has been delayed as
long as the one for 1990-91 ,
President Steven B. Sample
said at last week 's Faculty
Senate Executive Committee (FSEC)
meeting.
Sample added that the cu,.;.ent wrangling over budget politics in Albany has
been .. an extraordinary pflenomenon this
decade." The budget situa tion, aocording
to figures reported to the FSEC by the
president . is grim. "There will be very
substantial reductions in state revenues
fo r thi s budget year:· Sample said. The
projected cuts for the SUNY -wide
budget total $20.8 million.
Sample noted that .. the governor
recommended a pretty tight budget for
SUNY." adding that "if the SUNY
bud get is red uced , there is going to be a
sig nifican t reduction 1n access . ..
Access. as defined by Sample:. r..:ons1st s

budget burden . Sample replied , " I do n)
kno w wha t US's share of the S20.8 mil li o n cut will be ." He added th a t ..eve ryth mg hmges on getting the poli tical
acto rs to ide nt ify th at access has three
dt mensions. ··
Sample then urged the FSEC and

C hair William Miller to make phone
calls and lobby the politicians in Albany
to pwb UB's case in the capital. In
response to the question of implementing
either a tuition increase or asking SUNY
Central to consider closing down some
of the smaller campuses, Sample
responded that " these are important
questions in the current political
climate."
The possibility of a tuition increase
was raised in a reso lution presented 'to
the FSEC by SUNY Se nators Claude
Welch (Political Science) and Dennis
Malone (E lectri cal and Co mputer Engineering). Welch and Malone introduced
a resolut io n to be prese nted at the SUNY
Se nate that noted th at both access and
program breadth should not be impaired
a nd th at a modest tu ition increase shou1d
N: cons idered onl y if state app ropriations are not reduced by an equal margin . The reso lutio n was unanimousl y
endorsed by the Uni versity 's FSEC.
P resi d e nt Sampl e no ted th at an
tmp orta nt question surroundin g the
tss ue of a tuit ion increase is whether such
a n increase will benefit SUNY's budget
deficit. He ad ded t hat -t he politicians say
that tuition dollars sho uld not be used to
he lp SUNY but the sta te-w ide budget
defictt mstead ...

T

he pro posed parking fee was also
discussed at the meeting. The FSEC
was updated on the fee by Robert
Wagner, vice president for University
Services . Wagner poi nted out that the
proposed fee was a " user fee" in that only
people who use the parking facilities
would be required to pay. He added that
a University Parking Commi n ee has
been es ta blished ... to deal with a wide
range of im plementation issues ... The
co mmittee is co mposed of facu ll y, staff

and students.
Under the current formula provided
by SUNY Central, Wagner said that the
University has 10,000 park.ing spaces
that cost approximately SI. 75 million
per year to operate. This cost, be adde~ .
is currently paid out of the sUite operating budget and ttie amount docs no t
include maintenance ol" public safety

costs.

"The governor
recommended a pretty
tight budget for SUNY.
If the SUNY budget is
reduced, there is going
to be a significant
reduction in access. "
-

PRESIDENT SAMPLE

"' The act ual costs to users would be
based on the actual number of persons
purchasing parking hangtags," Wagner
said. He added that ..the Sl32 figure previo usly reported in the media is a SUNYwide average a nd no t the actual figure
th at would be imposed at the University .... C urren tly, there a re 20,000 perso ns
who .purchased the SJ parking hangtags
a nd Wagner expects thi s number to drop t
if the pro posed par ki ng fee is
implemented.
W agner noted that the parking fee
co uld not stan before June 13, 1990
because fee inc reases need to be
adq uately posted . He added th at ;U B
wou ld not begin to imp lement the fee
before January, 1991." In addit io n.
Wagner stated that th e Unive rsi ty Coun -

cil must approve action on the fee
" before authority to enact the fee can
take place."

A

number of controversial issues are
associated with the proposed fee.
What about students and non-unionized
employees who lack representation or
the right to collective bargaining? Provos t William Greiner noted that "there is
a great deal of reluctance .amqng SUN Y
campuses to impose the parking t_ee on
st udents and non-unionized empl~ees ...
Another sig nificant issue 'Vi be
enforcement hours. Currently, parking
lot enforce ment and ticketing stops at 3
p.m. What will happen when the fee is in
place? Wagner stated that ... iss ues of
equity and un ifo rmity will need to be
addressed by the University Parking
Committee ...
Anthony Ralston (Computer Science)
suggested that a graduated fee scale be
implemented so that a full professor
would not be charged the same fee as a
student. In response to Rals(on's suggestion , Wagner noted that "the parking fee
is a substitution item for the budget, not
an income-generating mechanism."
With reference to the faculty, Provost
Greiner noted that '"from a collective
bargaining position, the parking fee is a
giveback of a benelit." While some senators suggested that faculty and staff, as
sta te employees, should not be required
to pay to park at their place of wor k.
Dennis Malone stated that .. most state
em ployees must pay to park." He added
that "either we, as state employees. all
pay to park or no state employee should
have to pay to park. "
FSEC C hair Miller suggested th at
Wagner keep the senate informed conce rning the changing situation on the
pa rking fee .

president fo r Universi ty services, desc ribed the University's reaction .. to th e curren t budget
si tu ation in New Yo r k S tate .
It has been more tha n four weeks sinct
the state legislature was scheduled to
pass the budget. "We are frustrated at
the University because o f the budget
waiting game," lnnus said: A nd H arry
Jackso n, assistant vice president fo r
gove rnment relations , ad ded that .. we
hope the budget will be passed by the end
of this week."
Both Innus and J ackso n stated that it
is difficult to anticipate wh at kinds of
reductions will result for both the
Universi ty and SUNY as a whole once
the budget is actually passed . "Cuts will
take place on both the reven ue and
expenditure sides," Inn us noted. He
added that .. reductions that have been
identified in Governor C uomo's executive
budget total over S I million which is
separate from the projected overall
SU NY budget cut of S20.8 million."
Jackson said that lli.s office has been
focusing more on the po litical side of the
budget issue. " We have been writing
letters and making phone calls to state
legislators in the Western New York
delegation, to Governor C uomo, to
Majority Leader Marino, and Speaker

Gordon said at press time.
Gordon added that "nonetheless, we at
SUNY a.{C cautiously optimistic about
getting some program restorations back
that were cut in last year's budget." And
based on the limited amount of
imfonnation trickling out of the State
Legislature, Gordon added that "we are
hopeful ·that there won' be any more
cuts to the SUN¥-budget."
Nonetheless, Gordoo said that " I'm
more optimistic now tpan I was earlier in
the l&gt;udget process."
Where docs this sense of cautious
optimism come from? According to
Pordon, tbe $40 D!i)lion in savinga· that

that th ere will be approx imatel y S50-S55
mill io n in additional fun ds for the S U NY
budget. Gordo n s tre ssed t ha t thi s
informatio n is not yet comple te sinct" at
press time the budget has' not yet been
passed .
A number of members ' .. legislative
initiati ve s" have been propo sed t o
restore previo us budget cuts for SUNY
programs. Gordon said he is hopeful that
funds will be restored for the Hazardo us
Waste Management Center at th e
University. And in response to Governo r
Cuomo's views on members' legislati ve
items, Go rdon said that ..these are not all
just po rk ba rrel items - we feel that all
SUNY items arc meritorious." Gordon
co uld not provide information on the:
budget status of other University projects such as the l&gt;ET Imaging Center
a nd funding for the World Unive rsity
Games.
Wh at a bout the possibility of a tuition
increase? Gordon suggested that because
Cuomo is adamantly o pposed to any
increase in tuition, .. it seems highly
unlikel y there will be an increase this
yea r." Gordon ·added that "SUNY
should benefit from any tuition increase
and an increase may take place next
year."
..
.
Until a budget is-formally passed, the
University, said lnnus, has no power of
appropriation. He added that "the
University's payrolris being met by the
state." In addi~on.J nnw said that UB

When the budget is actually passed ,
" we will know fairly quickly the o verall
aggregate cuts in the budget," lnnus said .
He added that "the specifics of any
budget cuts will have to wait several
days." Given the lack of information
prior to passage of a budget, )nnw noted
"' there is no way to do an assessment at
U B in terms of where the cuts will
)
occ ur...
lnnus added that several ~i!Wities
are being explored at the UnivCii1!1Y in
terms of bow to deal with any cuts.:"One
possi bility is that of early retiretnenl for
faculty and staff," said Jnnw. On the
other hand , lnnus said, • beeause UB has
bee n farther below the benchmark
prncess for measuring need llll)'\ng
SUNY campuses, we canjmtify the nt#l
for more resources than do other SUNY
units." According to Gordon, the actual
benchmark figures camtot be assessed
until a budget is passed. Gordori expects
the budget will be passed by the end of

oodyear was also quick to. point
out that she had people in her life
who have served as role models and'
inspirations. She said that sbe keeps
clippings about a woman who climbtd a
mountain on her 90th birthday.
Her most recent form of inspiration
lies in a simple quote from a fellow
classmate. "Sometimes the highly
improbable is possible."
Goodyear serves as a lestament to that
statement. It is also a philosophy she has
attempted to instill in the patients she
has dealt with during the past several
years.
"Sometimes when a patient is
depressed I get them to talk a little about
what they want to do io life," Goodyear
said. "They say they don~ have this and

s she raised her arms and threw
herself back in the chair and
said, " I'm finished! " her sheer
joy and excitement were

evident.
This reaction was not so different from
any other student who had finished four
yean of intensive study at UB medical
school.
For Suzanna Goodyear, however, the
realization that she had completed medical school was especially significant.
Four yean ago at age 55 she held the
honor of being the oldest medical student in UB's history. In three weeks she
will have the distinction of being the oldest penon ever to have graduated from
the medical school.
In a 1986 Reporrer article, Goodyear
said that a lack of confidence: was one of
the things that held her back from
attending medical school after s~
received a masterS degree in cbemistfy
from the University of Illinois. She
worked as a researcher for the prescription drug division of Warner-Lambert,
the Albany Medical College's ·BioohO,mistry Department and the New York State
Department of Health before, she said.
"falling into a rut."
Goodyear is no longer a woman who
lacks confidence, nor is she in a rut.
Rather. she is now traveling on a wellpaved path.

I

U wish I had gone (to medical school) a
few years ago, but I don' think I
would have been accepted," she said. "I
wouldn' have done well in the (admissions) interview. I'm not so sure I would
have survived at 21.
"I finally realized that I still cared and
I finally did it. I was much more secure in
my commitment," she continued . ... , had
a lot of experience and · that helped me
better understand myself and' other people," Goodyear said. But she admitted, "I
wifh I,;d bad that understanding 10 or 20
yem ago."
·when Goodyear decided to pursue tbe
dream she had put on hold for nearly 30
years she knew she would face many ·
hurdles. While her age appeared to be
the biggest obstacle she would have to
clear, Goodyear said that the problems
she faced ran parallel with those of her
fellow students.

they don' have that... I tell them to get
up and do it . I love people who come to
me and express an interest in doing
more ...

T

59-year-old Goodyear said. "The amount
of material was .overwhelm.ing, tbut I'm
not the only one who felt that way. My
other classmates had the same reaction ...
Not that she had much time to react.
This past winter Goodye-ar worked at a
Presbyterian mission hospital outside of
Nairobi, Kenya. According to Goodyear
this is the hospital that is described in
lsak Dinesen 's Our of Africa.
.. 1 wanted to experience mission tife ,she said .
She ret urned to Buffalo in March after
spending five weeks at an 8()..bed hospital
in Dansville, N.Y.
U B medical students work at area
hospitals on a rotation basis. The hours
are long and there are all-night shifts. All
this dido' faze Goodyear, however.
. "Sure the long hours are hard, but
they weren' any harder on me than for
other people," Goodyear said. "(It was)
especially bard if I had to stay up without much to do, but if I was busy I had
no problems."

G

oodyear had no problems mainly
as a result of ber physical conditioning. She swims in the pool at Alumni
Arena, though she doesn' get there as
often as she would like, on a regular
basis. She also plans to go on a canoeing
trip prior to the graduation ceremonies.

Suzanna Goodyear worked in Africa
last year.
•

"For most of my life I've been able to
keep up with people who were younger.··
Goodyear explained. "It was hard," she
said, referring to the four years of
medical school, but her philosophy is "if
it 's What you want to do, go and do it .''
Over the past four ytars Goodyear has
been put in a position wheu she is turned
to, not only for advice, but as a role
model.
She explained that after the initial
story about her acceptance into the medical school appeared in the R~porr.r in
1986, Th~ · Buffalo NrwJ. '1M Buffalo
PhyJician and Medical World NrwJ did
stories as well. Goodyear received letters
and phone calls from as far away as
Washington and California, from
women whO' have told her that she has
been their inspiration to return to school.
"I never thought of myself as a role
model," Goodyear said. "Some of the
publicity bothered me. Many of my
classmates had life much harder. Some
went to school on student loans - which
I dido\ need - some classmates bad to
take time off to take care of parents who
were iU and had children to raise," she
explained. "These students should have
credit passed to them, too."

hough Goodyear has completed her
goal of going to medical school, she
is also interested in ..doing more ... While
working in Africa, Goodyear developed
an interest in delivering babies. She said
that whilh orlr.ing at Millard Fil)'l!ore
Hospital she helped with 'only one delivery as opposed to seven while she was in
Nairobi.
This interest shouJd prove to be vitaJ
during her residency and with her career.
Gootlyear will do her residency in
C larksburg, West Virginia. where she
said she is interested in eventually setting
up practice. Her degree is in family practice and she wou ldl like to eventually
practice medicine in 'ai-'rural situation.
Originally, Goodyear expressed an
interest in joining the Peace Corps, but
she said physicians in the Peace Corps
are not used in direct patient care. She
likes to work with people, and realizing
her career will be shorter than those of
her fellow st udents she .. wants it to count
for something. ..
While Goodyear thinks about how she
can best use the years that she will have
to practice, she said that many people
still concentrate on the number of years
she has been alive.
Goodyear said she is still selfconscious about her age and that during
one of her residency interviews she was
referred to as "one crazy lady."
.. I'm aware that there is a certain
amo unt of bias because I'm an older stu·
dent," she said, "but I had been told that
nobody would accept me (to medical
school) and I got through that hurdle." 0

how it led to tbe arrest and conviction of

Clifford Sloll speaks in Knox HaiL

The connections that the hacker made
wen: extensive a nd Stoll diagrammed

one in order to explain the complexity of
his break-ins. Stoll said because of his

belief that the hacker h~d to he a student
he overlooked several .. obvious clues ...
On average. the break -ins occurred at
I p.m. - coinciding with the nine-hour
time difTen:ncc in West German y. The
a German
password used wa.s jaeger
word .

""J didn't take Gennan
damn i1.
When I went to UB they allowed
FORTRAN to he a foreign language.·
Stoll said . -That went right by me - like
I p.m."
When it was finally disco vered that the
intruder was placing long-disLancc: calls
through the technology library at
Berkeley , an attempt to do a manu d..l
wire trace in Europe was set up. The
problem was that the hacker would have
to be: on the line for one to tw o hours fo r
the trace to be completed .
lbe question for Stoll was
how to
do this?
1bc answer was not immediate, but
the solution worked .
StoU explained that he and a friend .
Martha Mctbcws ck&gt;doped a -completely
phony military network" called SDINET
Tbey devised hundreds of phony
documents wbicb the hacker tbeQ.
aaxssr:d. The documents specified that
more information was available by
writing to Stoll
-rwo or three months went by and we
rr:a:iwd a lctkr from a Laszlo J _ Balogh
with a Pcomylvania address," StoU said .
"I called the FBI and the agent said. 'You

wblllr·

Wbal StoU bad done was break
Markus Hess' United States connection.
Balogh was a Hungarian refugee who
bad onmc to America in 1956, according
to Stoll • Appue~~Uy be was connected
witb shady things. I'm not sure if he 11 he
on trial or not."'
Hess stood trial last month in West
Germany and was convicted on charges
of espionage.
"He dido' ~ he was being
monitored until two weeks after be was
URSICd," Stoll said.
While Stoll maintained that be enjoys

of that era ... We d1d th is eve n as so me of

said U B vice presidents ".go regularly to

Board . She is also a liaison to SUNY's
cen tral administration on all campus
legal matters.
Sample often taps her knowledge. calling her .. teac her to the president." He
co mmented : .. I learn a lot fro m the people with whom I work and who repon to

I've learned more than Carole . She's an
mtellectual adviser, too. and man y academic ini tiat ives were started by her or
d~veloped under her tu telage.The job has its press ures, but these a r~
offse1 by the diversity it entails. Petro
stated . .. The energy level (in the Presi·
dent"s Office) is very high .· as Sample
tries to enhance UB's standin g as a major
research uni ve rsity, said Petro. "We 're
ridi ng the crest of a ve ry large wave.
Steve has given us a new way to think of
oursel ves as a university.-

P

etro's busy life includes a husband .
William and three daughters, Margarethe, a senior account executive at a
New York public relations firm : Caroline, an attorney in Washington, and
Alexa, a junior at the University of Michigan . She also cares for her elderly
mother, who has Alzheimer's disease.
Petro's co m and of University lore
recalls that of her friend and neighbor.
the late Bernice Poss. Provost William
Greiner's executive assistant who was
killed in a traffic accident in 1988. Like
Poss, Petro is fiercely committed to the
advancement of women in higher educa-

tion and in the professions generally.
.. Networking is a more natural prQC:eSli
for men. Women have to do it more selfconsciously," she said.
With Poss and other leaders in the
area, Petro helped establish the Western
New York Regional Committee of the
American Council on Education 's
National Identification Program for the
Advance ment of Women in Higher Educati on Administration ( ACE / NIP ).
which met' here last week.
ACE's national identifjcation P,fO·
gram, Petro explains, tries to~hC1piClen ­
tify taJented women administrators in
higher education, enhance their visibility
as educatiooilleaders, and improve their
chances for advancement into senior·
level. policymaking positions."
Over the years, Petro has given presc:ntatio ns on sex equity in higher ed administration, discussed ""the emerging adult
learner," and chaired ACE / NIP conferences on ethical dilemmas and legal
iss ues, and campus crises as they affect
the media. In 1981, she n:a:ived a grant
from SUNY Conferences in the Disciplines to presenl a series on gender differences in math achievement.
From 1984-88, Petro served on and
ultimately chaired State Education
Commissioner Gordon Ambach's Advisory Counil on Eqllal Opportunity for
Women in Education, and continues as a
member of the ACE/ NIP New York
State planning committee . ~

S

he's also a charter member of
"The Women's Group." in wbich

area prpfessional women meet to discuss
topics of common interest. In addition,
she is a member of the Erie County
Commission on the Status of Women's
appointments for women committee.
and the American Association of University Administrators' committee on
women •s concerns.
In general, Petro finds that "women
aren 'I present in large numbers in policy ma.king positions. This is true in education and elsewhere. For instance, of
the approximately J,OQO colleges and
universities in the 'United States, onJy
about 300 have women presidents. she
'(&gt;ointed out.
Said Petro : "Nearly aU of us face a
very complicated set of facto(S in the
workplace - on the one hand, what is
expected of us is aU too often less than
what we are capable of.
"On the other hand, we are expected
to be .. .competent, compassionate, complete. This situation is all too often complicated by what we expect of ourselves."
In Peuo's view, young· women face
tougher choices than those she confronted in 1960. ~1 feel for young women
who have so many stresses placed upon
them. I did my Ph.D. ·work when my
kids were very small and this gave me
some toughness that I needed for this
job.
.. Now young women face an extraordinarily complex balancingjob. And this
country has not been particularlyoc reative in finding institutional ways to help
women achieve their professionaJ potential and (still) have families."

Academe's climate for women 'chilly,' Sandler says
hus far, says Bernice Sandler.
women are defying the "Peter
Principle," that legendary
axiom said to accou nt for the
mys teries of some careers.
.. Women do not get promoted to the
level of t heir incompetence." She pointed
to a number of studies that show "that
women, no matter how qualified, simply
d o not move up the promotion ladder
with the same speed as their male
colleagues."
In academe, said Sandler, director of
the Association of American ColleBt's
project oo the status and education of
women, the climate for women is "chilly."

By ROBERT WATERHOUSE

Your Tu.rn,
Mr. Oates

Rep&lt;&gt;&lt;ler Staff

H

e's quite happy to be singled
out as the proud father of
Joyce Carol Oates, the
Lockport-born author of
nearly 50 volumes of fiction, poetry, criticism and · plays and the winner of among other honors - The National
Book Award and the 0. Henry Story
Award.
But now, at the age ~f 76, Fred Oates
has become something &amp;f a celebrity
himself. Tbe New York Times recently
published articles by botb Joyce Carol
Oat~s and FredericJ. Oates on his unusual ~boice of a way to spend retirement:
seven years ago, Fred Oates decid~ to
make up for the higher education be'bad
lost as a young man by signing up for
classes at UB.
The Depression meant that Fred Oates
had to leave school at an early age to go
to work, and be began a career in the tool
and die business 'With General Motors'
Harrison Radiat9rs. He was able, after a
[ew years, to find release in lWO UDUSU·
all y diverse bobbies: he learned violin
and piano as a child, and as a young man
took up flying. He still plays the piano ~well enough to please myself'" - but
rather misses his airborne days.
" In those day, flying wasn' what it is
now: then: was no traffic in the air, there
was none of this 'air control.' Back in
1937. when I first got my license to go up
solo, I would do aerob..,tics and all kinds
of stuff."
~
" Yes, we all suffered through that," his
wife. Carolina. reminded him during an
mtervicw last week in the couple's home.
" You always' used to have a passenger to
show orr to - until tbey got sick on yoll."
"Some people used to get sick on me,"
ad mitted Fred. "But it was fun . Joyce
used to love it. .. In fact. she loved it so
mu ch, and flew so often with Fred as a
li ttle girl, that a group of cameramen
asked to be shown the routes he used to
Oy with her; they wanted airborne footage for a German documentary about
~er work .

two books and the last two, it was tbe
second aJance that his counes at UB
gave him that t&lt;~ld bini what distinc ·
guished Jonathan Swift and Mart
Twain.
"Now, we're reading 'Tom Jones' that's by Fielding - and Hawthorne
'The Scarlet Letter,' and Shakespeare, in'
another class. I tate notes just like the
other students do, and then, in the
evening, Carolina and 1 will read
something and then well look up the
notes to see what's what:•
Predictably, Fred Oates finds it easier
to mingle with his professon than with
the oiher students. " As a rule I just get to
know the person sitting next to me. It's
amazing the amount of knowledge some
of the kids - well , I call them kids;
they're not, I guess - but it's amazing
the amount of knowledge some of them
have."
Some of his teachers. however, have
proved good friends; he especially loves
to talk socially about his reading. and he
a~d Joyce and Carolina have spent
ha ppy weekends walking and talking

about it. In 1987 he was able to take his
professors to Joyce Carol Oates W~k in
Buffalo during her visit here.
Curio usly, Fred can discuss with his
daughter any book.s except her own . .. We
don\ bother Joyce about her st uff. Like
most auth ors. J oyce doesn' like to talk
much about her own writing ... She is.
however. delighted with his new - and
safer - hobby. he says, and it appears
she 's had a little influence on his decision
to go back to sc hool.

A

erobatics are not tbe only bit of
local color Fred Oates has brought
to Western New York; seven years ago,
his other love - music - took him into
the classrooms of UB. Retiring afte·r 40
years in the tool and die business, Fred
Oates decided to go back to schooL
"I got a Oyer in the inail from Millard
Fillmore CoUege about classes for
adults. If it badn' been fo r tbat, I would
nev.cr have known about it. Mostly, the
flyev was about evening classes, but then
thOJe was this part about how people
over 60 could audit classe! for nothing at
U B. And there were no tests involved,"
he added witb a chuckle. "That interested me. Now, ! always symp'atbiu with
the students when the term papers are
due. They're sweating away and I'm high
and dry." •
Initially, be was shocked by the sbeer,
sprawling size of the UB campus,·but he
relied on hls airborne training and came
prepared with maps. Then there was the

furthe r cunosity of a white-haired gentleman mingling with students young
enough to be his grandchildren.
"It was rather odd at first. It was especially odd to be sitting in a room with so
many people. For one thing, I was th e
only person apart from the professor
wearing a tie, and, in fact, most people
assbmed I was the professor. And then
tbe professor was young enough to be
my son. "
Fred began by taking music classes in
which he was able to study his favorite
composers. He won himself a reputation
by daring to answer a question to which
no_ one else lc.new the answer: tbe
students would search the cafeteria for
"the guy who answered that question in
class.• The experience gave Fred !be confidence he needed to begin auditing

graduate se minars in a subject even
dearer to him - English literature.
" I've read all my life, but you don'
find the depth of what you're reading
until you have 5omeone to show you it 's
there," he sald : ... Now I have an even better sense of what I read in the past without thinking. You leam to read between
the lines. Now I'm rereading books I
read years ago and dido\ understand."

A

s a boy, he says, be cut his teeth on
adventure stories like "T om Swift ,"
"The Rover Boys," "Gulliver's Travels"
and "Tom Sawyer". He told the N&lt;w
York Times that although he sensed
there was a difference between the first

hat influence goes two ways. With a
little prodding, Fred can be made to
admit that he provided at least a tittle of
the inspiration for his daughter's career.
" I inO uenced her in the beginning in that
we always had reading matter around books. magazines, everything. And my
mother used to give her books. She read
her "Alice in Wonderland" and Joyce
always says she remembers the influence.
It certainly got her imagination moving."
It was also Fred who toot the nine-yearold Joyce to her first Golden Gloves
boxing match in Buffalo: her book "On
Boxing"' is an eloquent medltatjon on the
sport she bas followed ever since.
Meanwhile, Joyce Carol ,Alates has
introduced her father to a few rW;w things
as well. "She says so me famous professor
is coming next semester. Some poet - I
forget who. Anyway," Fred chuckled,
"I've got a class all picked out for me
next semester...

Shakespear~ in the Park . held
at th e Harnman Hall Studio
Theatre on Ap"ril 27.
The au was hea vy wnh
anticipation in the hall
outside the studio and all
the actors breathed it in a
different way. There was
Ken, who was trying
desperatc:ly to loosen up .
He paoed , he jumped. he did
stretching exercises, all the:
while his lips running in
a silent diatribe.
.. It would be nice if you
could go 'OK, I'm ready'said Kamala Bocek.. a
Syracuse University graduate
student and Niagara Falls
native, "'instead you stand out
here waiting and goi ng
bbbbbbbbbb (you know lhal
noise you make when you
exhaJe and move your finger
up and d o wn against your
lips.)"
Just loa :ng at those who
wert there r it was easy to tell
that the waiting was the worst
pan.
The auditioners wert: asked
to prc:pare contrasting tw~
minute monologues and each
had a diiTerent way of going
about it . .. I rehearse until it is
second nature." Boeck
explained . .. If tbert: ls even a
second"s hesitation at the
start, then I'm not ready. I
have to be able to pick it up
at any part and go with it."
.. You try to do monologues
that aren '1. done very often ...
said Joya: Stilson, a UB
graduate student and
professional actress.
~unfortunately, there aren'
many female monologues ....
She added, "you have to have
a..real sort of audition attitude

and mentality ... For
Stilson it i5
-a kick.-ass, I'm
the best ... attitude.
~ You try to be as
positive as
possible,- she
added, ~ but you
don't want to
be over-confident."

A

s the
auditioners
were called in for
their tum. their
concentration turned
only to what lay ahead of
them. The time for
preparation was over. it
was now do or die time.
No one can read the
minds of those doing the
casting at an audition.
although some actors
have their theories. "To
see somebody writing is
good," Stilson said. ~It
means they have an
opinion. but it can also
be very di5lraeling."
She said that there arc things
1h8l can be distracting during
the audition - a whisper
among those watching.,
someone going through a
purse or a bunch of papers.
so meone unwrapping a picoc
of candy. ~It ends up being a
double distraction," she
explained. "'noticing them
and trying not to notice
them."
As Peter Conrad exited tbc
studio he had a look of sheer
frustration on hi5 face . ~I died
lik.e a sick. dog,- be said. ~I
was prepaned but something
happened .- He took. one
wrong step. "You try to fmd
a physicalization for tbe
charaeler and I thought I
had.- he lamented, ~but
something just went wrong. I
blew the big banana.As everyone exited, no one
seemed or wanted to seem
over-confident on how it had
gone. ~I liked my fU'SI

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

he decanaJ review process and
the Triggle / Sarjeant co mmittee
repo rt headed the lis t of issues
debated last . week by the full
Uni versity Faculty Senate .
Other subj ects discussed at the April
17 meeting held in Room Il l Kimball
Tower, included the status of US's academic pro grams in C hina and the proposed Intercollegiate Athletic fee .
On the issue of th e decanal rcv1ew process. Senate C han Will iam M ille r no ted
that the Facult y Se nate Exec uti ve Committee (FSEC) .. was not going to
strongl y endorse the Tnggle / Sar.Jcant
Co mmittee repo rt until it sees how it is
wo rkin g in prac t1 cc . " Th e Triggle j
Sa rjeant report recommended th at a set
of pnnciples be implemented regarding
assess ments of decan aJ performance for
the various schools and fac ulties.
More specifically. the report notes tha t
~eva luati o n of r&gt;ecanal and Decanal
Unit performance mus t be rega rd ed as a
h1gh priority" a t th e tl niversi ty. Spec1fic
rec ommendation s co nt ained in the
re pon. include.
• Wri tten decanal unit performance
cnteria should bo'ut ilized by the pro vost
to "" pro vide a framework for such adv1·
so ry input on an annuaJ basis ...
• A framework for decanal um t
assess ment s hou ld include an actlvc
solicitation fro m all affected parties on a
regul ar. annual basis. with the provost
being the chief assess ment officer . In
·addiuon. the- report recomme-nds that
mput come from groups of facul ty as
well as se nior facuhy .
• All a dv iso r y in put procedures
should be subject to a full joint facult yadministrative reassessment at periodic
HttervaJs not to exceed fave years. The
report recommends that the provost be
charged with soliciting input from
faculty members in a given school or
decanal unit through individual letters to
e3cb facult y member.

T

A

ft.:r a brief discussion of the Triggle /
Sargeant report. Larry Sanden of
tbe School of Management introdua:d a
resolution stating that the Faculty
Senate encourage the provost lo share:
the resulu of decanal reviewa as widely
as possible. to addition. the Faculty
Senate ask.s that Provost William
Greiner repon back. r'b the senate no later
than Fall, 1993 oo the progress tbat has
been made in implementing the recommended review procedures.
A number of senaton expressed reservations wilh the resolution. Anthon y
Ralston of Computer Science argued
that the recommended decanaJ review
procedures would ..enshrine an industrial-management model for the Univer si ty where there would be a one-way flow
of information."'
He introduced an amendment to the
o riginal resolution that caJled for the
survey of faculty within a decanal unit
with survey instruments and results to be
made public.
Dennis Malone, SUN { Senate repre·
sentativc, noted tbat the Ralston
amendment would weaken the decanal
review prO"'!CSS. Malone said tbat .. it
makes no sense to set up a dean as a
moving target to be shot at." And Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics suggested

that "use or widely publicized survey
instruments would , in effect. be a referendum on a dean 's performance ...
Greiner. echoing the remarks of
Malone and Goodman, argued that
""there need s to be some sense of good
judgment and good taste in the review of
dean s by facu lt y." He added tha t"l doo\
think we want the press to repo rt o n
everything that goes on in terms of
decanal re view ...
The Ral ston amendment was defeated
31- 12 with 3 abstentions. The o rigina l
resolution as adopted by the FSEC
passed .

T

he iss ue co nce rn1n g the resumption
of UB 's academ ic programs in
C hina sparked lively debate. Speaking
agai nst resumption of the Universi ty's
programs was Anth o ny Ral$tOn. He
argued that .. UB would be very naive to
bc:lievc that th e climate of o pinion will
change back to the pre-Tiananmen
Sq uare massacre da ys 1f we resum e o ur
programs 1n C hina ...
Rill Geo rge of Engmcering argued th at
UB .. has the o ppo rlun it y to go forward
a nd do so meth ing rig ht on this issue ...
George introduced a friendly amend ment sayin g that the Facult y Senate
co ndemns the acti ons of the C hinese
govern ment w T1ananmen Square but
su pports the resumpti o n of UB's academic prog rams ... The revised amend me nt was passed 33-J with 9 abstentions.
l""hc proposal to introduce a mandatory Interco llegiate athletic fee also
spa r ked heated debate. Albert Stecgmann of Anthropo logy argued that .. the
Unive rsit y can 't play in the Division I
aren a without having sufficient funds to
pa y for it. .. Provost G reiner supported
Stcegmann 's a rgument by stating that
'"U 8 need s some institutional funding for
Division I AA ... He added that .. our
proposa l for a mandatory st udent
athletic fee would be much more benign
than that Laking place at other universities with Division I AA programs ...
Greiner noted that the annuaJ athletic fee
at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst is $140.

A

nthony Raison offered three suggcs·
Lions for implementing t.he mandatory fee . He argued that the undergraduate studenu have twice voted 60-40 to
defeat the proposed fee in referenda. He
added that students who do not use the
athletic facilities should not be forced to
pay the fee. Ralston 's final point concerned the use of endowment funds. He
argued that "the ground rules have
shifted and any shortfall in the funds will
be made up through the usc of endowment fund s ....
Shonnie Fi nnegan o f Univer si t y
Libraries supported Ralston when she
stated that "the proposed $35 fee could
go up all the way to the SUNY cap of
$60." She added that " money should
instead be spent on research programs ...
Nicolas Goodman argued that .. students
should not be mandatorily taJt.ed for
intercollegiate athletics because it is not a
vital pan of a student's education ...
Despite the controversy surrOunding
tbe athletic fee issue, a vote was not
taken on a resolution because there was
no quorum prcsenL The issue has been
referred to tbe agenda .. for the next

aw students with physical and

"a numbe r of surprisi ng and unseuling

Both large lecture halls and small
classrooms 1mpair a disabled student's

lect ure h alls . .. students in wheelchairs or

Engel and Konefsky's article not on ly
lists numerous architectural problems

Hall. but also suggests so lut iOns to each
prob lem lis ted . The frustration of a
wheelchair-bound student who .. cannot

W

hlle physical barriers can be: solved
for the general population of dts abled students. the educational barriers
fo r students with learning disa bilities

require more individualized attention.
Yet tbis approach is inhibited by the
reluctance of many learn ing disabled
students ~o come forward and identify
themselves, .. for fear of being ...viewed ~
unintelligent o r unable to function m
essentia lly intellectual acttvJties. . ... thc
aniclc says.
Koncfsky contends, "Of all the obstacles facing tbesc students, the most formidable arc those society create$." The
article reports that learning disabled students who talked to the committee .. frequently find il nwccssary to disguise their
disabitity and at\c mpllo 'pass' as part or
the 'normal' population without any
accommodations whatever ... Thus these
st udents settle for an education and a
grade average '"'far inferior to those that
they could achieve if their special needs
were reco8nized and addressed through
simple and widely-aca:pted adaptations ...
These students fear that their learn ing
disabilities (such as dyslex1a and dysgra phia) will stig.matiz.c them when they
enter the legal profession . -categories of
disability get created a nd treated as if
they arc naturally exclusave ... Konc:fsk y
observes. -u nfortunately. there 15 no
'a utomatic d oor ope ner· for these doors
or opport uni ty ."
Nonetheless, Kondsky mat ntams that
he and the other members of the commit tee .. believe pan of o ur job IS to butld up
trust with learning disabled students. Wc
have to assure them that they will not be
stigmatized, that they can develop theu
own abilities. We make strict preca uu ons
of con fidentiaJit y - nothin g is public ,
and nothing goes on Ci lc.-

Speaker links medical advances, animal research
By JEFFREY TREBB
Repor1er StaN

cientific research involvtng
animals has been at the: heart of
medicaJ advances in the United
States. acco rd ing to a Co rnel l
Universit y professor who spoke: last
Wednesday at UB. Fred W. Quimby.
associate professor of pathology at Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine,
delivered a lecture sponsored by the U 8
Animal Rcsean:h Public Relations Task
Force.

In bis talk, Quimby ack.nowledged the
growinJ national concern with animal
research, insistin,K the issues were
complex.
1be usc of animals for scientific
research, •• said Quimby, .. increased
dramatically after World War II and
pubtication of the Nw-emberg Code
which forbade the usc of humans in
much scientifiC investigation. The Code
included. .a . very . d~finitivc statement:
drugs . shoillcl ' iio't bC'~ ' (m humans

until proven in animal
research first. ..
This decision mitiate:d a great risc an
biomedical discoveries lasti ng up to the
1970s when it plateaued. Quimby said .
The same post -war
period has also shown
a co nsistent trend
toward decreasing usc of animals 10

Quimby listed some of tbis century's
medical advances , reminding hi s
_.a udience that they were all due, at least
in part. to the use of animals in research.
"We've scc:n a great f;.ll in deaths by
infectiow diseases so common through out history until recently. The last ep idemic to strike this country, paralytic
patio, was rapidly curtailed thanks to the
Sabin and Salt. vaccines tested on animals. A disease which used to take

Quimby mentioned scarlet and rheumatic fevers and their dramattc decre-ase
after antibiotics were developed . And
though more people die each year from
cancer. more arc also su rv1vi ng because
of chemotherapy dcvdopcd by u.s mg
non-human primates. he sa1d .
.. Artificial valves for hean s were tested
o n cows and the heart-lung machme so
cr ucial to open heart surgery was de veloped on dogs ," sard Quimby . "Thes&lt;:
made possible: the nearly 200,000 coronary bypass operations performed each
year in this country .
.. As a result of research performed on
animals, .. Quimby continued, ~he~ is
promise for AIDS victims. Thanks to the
st udy of animal systems. the med ical
community has a rich history in under standing bow retroviruses work . Drugs
have already come from diagnostic test ing on ani mals; hopefully vaccines to
prevent the disease will soon foUow."'

.. Science works through a complicated
sys tem of hypothesis testing. Expenments produce basic knowledge but they

"The research in wbicb we employ

applications. In fact, it rarely docs. But
we constantly test our k.nowledge about
what is physiologically normal and this
leads to more fact..finfling."
Quimby pointed out that the number
of pets abandoned~ year is nearly the
same as tbe number of animals used
annually by scicntisU for research. "We

Gill said, adding that ~olence erupts in

Task Force charts UB's calendar: holidays a problem
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON

olidays that - bunch up .. on
the calendar can be a pro blem.
As the frnaJ examination
perind approaches for thou sands of students aod facult y at the Uni versity, there is increasing concern with
both the number aod length of scheduled
holidays in the Unive~ity calendar.
According to Robert L. Palmer, vice
provost for student affai~ and chair of
the Unive~ity Calendar Task Force, "a
number of general concerns have been
expressed about the curn:nt calendar.·
The concern has stemmed, in part, from
the large number of holidays scheduled
in the ftnt part of the fall semester.
'The purpose of the task fo=. according to PtilmCr, is "not to restructun: the
calendar but to set down some principles
for clrawin&amp; up caJendan in the future. •
He added that "the liSSWIIption on which

and the timing of1he semester breaks.
The implementation of the task force
is something new on campWI. "1be

work prior to the taslt Co=." Palmer
said, adding that "'the tas1t force is composed of foculiy, staff and students who

Palmer noted that .. it is good for us at
the University to review the calendar
periodically." The task force committee
IS a lso rooki ng at bow other SUNY campuses have structured their calendars as
we ll as how so me private colleges a nd
un iversities have wrestled with this issue.
In o rd er to gauge campus reaction to
fu tu r~ changes in the calendar. Palmer
said that the task force has se nt out survey questionnaires to facult y and stude nts . .. We've sent out 2.000 qucst ionna tres to students and 500 to faculty ...
Palmer said . The deadline for submitting
th~ questio nnaires is April 27 . ""We are
hoping ... PaJmer noted, .. to receive at
least half the responses by the deadline
dat e."
. What an: •ome of the issues and quoslions add ressed by the survey? Several
questions ask people to rank in order of
pnofen:nu: those holidays they would
most like to see included in a fall semcster calendar. The current holidays
include Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur, Election Daf. C..lumb~

some' . '· D8Y.;•: P~WeT, ; M~ia

Birthday, Pn:sident's Day and Good
Friday. Other questions want reaction to
a shortened period between the fall and
spring semesters and the number of read ing da ys to he sched uled at the end or
each se mester.
n terms of faculty response, P alm ~ r
noted that the issue of greateSt concern is the break in "lab" days during
periods wheno tbere an: fn:quent holidays. In the fall 1988 semester, in particular, the number of holidays meant that
students aod faculty who had lab days
scheduled on_ Fridays or Mondays often
feU behind their colleagues because of
the large number of missed days. Also of
concern for the faculty is the current setup of the examination schedule. "'The
task force is- investigating the factor of
the examination schedule," Palmer said.
Ptilmer added · that the taslt force's
final n:port is due to be completed by the
end of May. In the meantime, be and bis
assistant Mary Gresham will be poring

or resume mating after the birth of the
infant. And the most powerful determ inant of that schedule is the matern al
style of the mother.
Monkeys that nurse th eir mfants mo re
lrequeotly resume mating later in the
season than mothers that .. reject .. their
infants more frequently . either by taking
the infant .. off the nipple "' or'by refusing
to let the infant suckle, Johnso n .says. Of
particular importance, he adds. is the
length of time between bo uts of nursing.

T

he work has so me implications fo r
humans. Humans become fertile
sooner, as do monkeys, when they expc ~
rience long period!t between nursing sessions. This may be imponant, Johnson
says. when studying natural forms of
birth co ntrol.
In the western world, parents try particularly bard to get their infants to sleep
through the night without nursing, Berman notes. This, she says, may make the
mother fertile sooner than if she let her
infant nunc at night.
In her research, Berman foctJfcCCI on
th...,. possible explanations for the similarity in mother-daughter maternal
styles: seoetics; infanta carrying on the
treatment they rc&lt;:eived when they were
youq; and .older infanu learning a maternal style by watching their mothcn.

younger br.otbers.and sisters and the Way
she subsequently treated her own infants.
The data did not support a genetic
ex planation. she add s.
While Berman does not discoum the
possibi lity that a mot he r's own ex pen e ncc affects her treatment of her
tnfa nts, she co ntends the primary innuence see ms to be what a moth er sees her
mother do wuh her yo unger siblings.
l he slmllant y between mot hen;; and
daug ht ers IS an age-old theme in lnc:rature, she notes.
.. But t he ev1dcnce fo r It amo ng

think "
Most stud1es as k grown daughters
abou t thc1r ex periences with the1T moth ers. rather th a n directl y observing the
moth er-&lt;l aughtcr relationship . And by
o bserving the: relationship , researchers
get a more o bjective rcpon , she says.
This technique is more easily applied
to monkeys. who grow up faster and
begin reproducing usuall y around 4
years of age.
Johnson's research expands on work
done with humans that found that frequent nurs ing bouts of short duration
inhibited the return of mens~ in women.
Preliminary analysis of data from
T ughlaqabad shows that mothers wh o
are more receptive to their infants and
nurse them more frequently arc more
likely to mate later during the next mat ing season. And mothers do regulate
their infants ' nur sing schedules b y
... rejecting., or being receptive to infa nts '
attempts to suckle, he says.
.. It appears these females arc actively
structuring the nursing schedules of their
infants , promoting longer interval s
between suckling bouts, .. he says . ..Those
thai do not. those who are more restrictive, who are more receptive to
approaches by their infants, they are the
ones that ~ less likely to enter estrus
early.•

W

amount of time mothers spend gathering
food, eating or keeping up with the
gro up affect the schedules?
1ohnson speculates that mothers who
spend a lot of time gathering food nurse
their infants less frequently than mothers
who spend less time .. making a Jiving."
His research is unique in that he and
hi s trackers devoted large blocks of ti01f
to following iodividuaJ monkeys during
mating seaso ns. This is crucial when trymg to relate infant nu rsi ng schedules to
the1r mothers' reproducti ve efforts, he
add s.
Intervals between suck ling sessions
ca n be ::J.S long as one-and-a-half or two
hours . Researchers must watch individual animals for three or four hours to
acc urately gauge the length of these
mtervals and the patterns of suck...liog.
" And that's essen ti ally why this has
never been done before ,.. he says. "It's

Johnson's research is funded by a fellowship from the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development
and a National Science Foundation
grant. he is collaborating with Iqbal
Malik, who is affiliated with the University of Delhi and is one of the few women
primatologists in India.
Berman's research is funded with
grants from the National Institute for
Mental Health.
Resean:h with monkeys can facilitat&lt;
human research in many ways. says
Berman.
Many of the methods she and Johnson
.are using with monkeys can be extrapolated and used with humans. "You can
then ask the same questions about
humans more easily," she says.
Berman says she also is looking at
human behavior with a biologieal perspective. "Very often we attribute our
behavior to cultural factors and to very
sophisticated cognitive abilities. And I
think if you can show broad parallels in
what other animals do and what humans
do, I think it really makes you think
about some of those explanations a bit
harder and say are they really necessary?
Is all our behavior really due to thes&lt;
complex cognitive abilities tbat we have ,
or are there other explanations for it? So
it broadens out the possibilities of explanations for humans."
Some of the basic ideas about attachment behavior between motbe~ and
infants originated )With human studies,
but many of the reftnements came
through the study of animals. Researchers
then worked to see if the refinemenu also
applied to humans.
"It's kind of an aid in thinking. You
work out the simpler - ~tuation, then
you 'n: better equipped to know how to
approach the more complicated situation."
But Berman warDed that it.ia dangerous to .mate simple comparisons
between humans and animals, noting
there are distinct differences between the
two.
"You have to look at it a little mon:

Sympooium,

When it came time for us to play
again, we were thankful to be in the mud
again. They bad moved us from our
home court to court number 5. That
wasn' so bad; we are an adaptable
bunch. Our opponents this time bad a
name that said they were not to be fooled
with-we were playing the War Pigs. Not
the dogs of war but the pigs of wiu . Kind
ominous.
We started the match and won the first
game. I continued to dive at any ball that
got near me , just because it felt good to
be back in the mud . By this time it was
dripping out of my hair and running
down the back of m y shirt and it felt
great. The War Pigs took the second
game. So it came down to do or die . We
died . We just weren't the same away
from our home mud . The War Pigs died ,
too. though . The tournament was wOn by
the NFC Jearn - they defeated the Slime
Dogs in the fin~l&gt; .
Would I do it all over again, next year?
Somehow I've agreed to it. Now that we
know Oodest has a permanent site
behind Alumni Arena. wc11 have to go
over and practice. Ne xt year's touma·
ment will be here before you know it. 0

SUCCESS

I

always hear people
saying "It's a dirty job,
but someone has to do

it. " Well, they should
have my job; then we 11
talk about dirt.
. Saturday, April 21 ,
was the sixth annual Oozfest
sponsored by the University
Student Alumni Board of UB
(USAB). So into the muck I
traveled to compete against all
the other people demeoted
enough to be up at 10 o'clock
on ·a Saturday momin!·pla"ying

volleyball in the mud .

..This year there were teams
from Michigan and Canada
playing," said Beryl Watts,
interim director of USAB.
Oozfest has bec o me a n
international event.
The tournament started in
1984 with 16 teams. Presenta,fio ns on its success were made
at various naiional student
alumni conferences. "Kids at
o ther schools showed an
interest, .. Watts said , ··so
invitations were sent out." The
response was good and the
sixth aonual roll in the mud
was 51 teams ~ro·n!. ···

Things were going to have to
change if I was to get the full
expe rience of Oozfes t. With
the next game they surely did.
Once again we were on court
10. We were feeling confident
because we were used to this
coun now. We had scouted its
terrain in the previous match
and we had begun calling th is
our home court . We were
playing The Flaming Envelopes
and they were a surly-looking
bunch, much dirtier than o ur
team. We wereo 't about to be
intimidated though; we were
on our home court and I was
loolcing to get really dirty. This

was war.

W

e sta rted to get into the
who le feel for the event.
Mo re than a few people on my te a m had gotten up that
morning with the intention of
losing in the firs( round and
goi ng home and going to sleep
again , myself included. But it
was o ur pride on the line now.
These Flaming Envelopes
tho ug ht they could come over
to court 10 and beat us on our
own patch of mud.
The game started and the
banlc was o n. About halfway
thro ugh the first game of the
bcst·of-three match , I dove fo r
a ba ll that had gone over my
head . I mi ssed . but more
Impo rta ntl y, I was no w face
down in the mud. I Stood up
and it fe lt as if someone had
se wn bricks into the lining of
my clothes. The mud that was
now on me felt like it weighed
60 pounds. but it was great.

We defeated the Envelopes
and much to our surprise. were
adva ncing very well through
the tournament fttld. We had a
break while another bracket
played and it was just then that
I realized bow much mud I bad
on me and to what extent it
had seeped through my two
layers of clothing. Every time I
moved I felt the mud setP. into
so me place that I hadn't
believed it could reaeh. I bad
mud everywhere and I mean
everywhere .
itting around waitin~ is
probably the worst thing
for an Oozfest participant
because the mud starts to
ha rden . My favorite · red
sweatshirt (which by this point
you couldn' tell was red} had
become a body cast. ~My
clothes had hardened "so that I

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

SAVE THE

�Apr1119, 1990
Volume 21, No. 25

ln spite of the fact that there is not
mucb of an academic program in environmental studies at the University,
which Simpson finds "appalling," students and faculty from the lntendisci p~ ­
nary Program in the SociaJ Sciences
have worked hand to strengthen the
existing program.
The multitude of events being presented at Earth Day '90 represent the collective cfTons of many locaj environmental groups, said Barbara&gt;_. Haney. an
undergraduate student in environmental
studies. She is co-founder of the: Envir·
onmentaJ Studies Group and an organ·
izer for Earth Day.

UBREACHES
OUT TO HELP

SAVET¥
ENVIRONMENT
By DAVID HllolloiELGREEN
Repor1er Slal1

It was 20 years ago this
week that people
throughout the U.S. stood
up and spoke out against
the abuses of the
environment that were
taking place all around
them.
On April 22, 1970,
thousands of schools and
communities all around the
country participated in the
first Earth Day. Their
objective was to bring to the
surface the issues of
pollution, over-pp"pulation,
and environmental
degradation.
Activities ranging from nature walks to
protests against major polluters were
arranged in order to drive home the fact
that unless people and governments
started to behave reponsibly toward the
Earth, then humankind was destined for
sclf-&lt;lcstruetion.
That day, the U.S. Congress was in
recess so that congressmen could attend
Earth Day events in their districts. New
York City's mayor banoed automobiles
from Ftftb Avenue, and the people of
Erie County man:hed and rallied · over
such issues as oil drilliD&amp; in Late Erie.
What have we doae about the environmental crisis~~ since'tbc
flnt Earth Day? ~ &amp;R '!'l' _beaded
environmentally .. ·the nexc' century
rapidly approaches?

ancy explained that while people
bave different social concerns
(such as racism or sexism). all of
humanjtind is now confronted with the
real.risk. of a ruined environment. Uoles.s
immediate action is taken, she said, thCse
other social woes will take on very little:
meaning.
The concern for the environment is
found not only on the UB cam pus but
throughout Eric County.
A county-wide coalition of about 40
environmental gro up s is working
together on the Earth Day cffon. The
county's Department of EnvironmCnt
and Planning took the lead in convenmg
this coalition , said Simpson.
U nl ikc Eanh Day 70. which was celc·
bratcd primarily in the U.S .. Eanh Day
'90 is now a worldwide event focusing on
the global nature of enviro nm ental
destruction.
More than 120 co untries and 1.500
o rganiza ti ons are participating in this
year's events.
With the: rapid political changes in
Eastern Europe has come the: public
ad mission of environmentaJ disasters
that have been going on for a long time
tn various Eastern bloc countries.
.. With increasing freedom in those
countries, people are beginning to organize environmental movements to address
these problems," said Simpson.

This weekend UB will be looking at
so me of these questions as it celebrates
F.anh Day. 1990. Included in the observance will be a series of eve nL~ incl uding
talks, workshops, and to cap it off, an
all-&lt;lay "Eco-Fcst."
n Satu rday a special workshop
will be held on "How to Make
Every Day Eanh Day· 101 Ways
to Save the Eanh ... It 's se t for 10 a.m.·
noon at Alumni Arena, room 97 . A tree·
planting ceremony is scheduled, begin·
ning at noo n with vo lunteers meeting in
the parking lot northeast of Alumni
Arena.
The Eeo- Fest will be held on Sunday
from noon..() p.m., rain or shine, at UB's
South Campus.
The rall y will feature speakcrl includ ·
tng Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist
Tom T olcs of T'l!. Buffalo Ntws; Kathleen Leighton, Channel 7 anchorperson;
Robert Creelcy. New York State poet
laureate and Samuel P. Capen Professor
of Poetry and the Humanities at UB.
Local politicians, activists and scientists
will also speak.
There will also be live music by
GamaJon, Outer Circle Orchestra, New
York to Paris. Funkyfokc. SonicGanlcn
and Devotion.
An environmental information fair,
workshops, and food will also be part of
the festival .
The goal is not only to remind people
that the environment is a major social
concern. but also that we have a long
way t go before environmental problems IIR solved, said Walt..- Simpson.
UB energy conservation officer and
director of the UB energy conservation
program.

The 70s saw a .number of key events
including the ~ng of landmark environmental legislation and the establish-

Waller Simpson and Barbara Haney
plant seedl1ngs ouls1de Alumn1 ,

ment of the: Environmental Protection
Agency. reflecting Americans ' increasing
awareness of environmental issues.
However. during the 1980s. progress
on environmental issues seemed to stall
and pollution became worse, Simpson
explained .
The 1980s and the Reagan era caused
a lot of frustration for environmentalists.
It was as though the country experienced
a period of "collective forgetfulness and
apathy." We went on an .. intellectual and
moral vacation" that permitted the problems to worsen, Simpson said .
vc:r the: last several years, with
disasters such as the washing up
of medicaJ waste along our shorelines, the Exxoh-Valdcz oil spill, the cutting down of the Amazon rain forest,
and the greenhouse effect, there iS once
again an heightened awareness over the
environment.
The issue became more personal when
Simpson and his wife, Nancy, adopted a
little boy who is now 15 months old.
"It's very difficult to contemplate his
future without thinking about what the
world will he like in 20 or 30 yean," said
Simpson. "And to me this has made the
whole Earth Day issue much more of an
emergency."
The rapid evolution of collective consciousness is absolutely incredible, said
Simpson.
He pointed out that one barometer
that be uses to measure the rejuvenated
concern for the environment is the
increasing number of UB students 10ho
&amp;R bccomins involved with local environmental sroups and the environmental
studies program at UB.

c added that within this country
ai least the environmentalists are
now thinking internationally .
Simpson noted that although the U.S .
government is not as progressive in its
thinking, it won't be too long before we
stan to lead not only by example but
also by providing assistance to developing countries with respect· to cleaning up
the environment.
"If you look at Third World countries
or even Second World countries, they
don't have the technological resources or
the capital to solve these problems.
Countries like the U.S., Japan and West
Germany need to take on a more active:
role in providing assistance and alterna·
tivcs, .. Simpson commented.
For example, industrialized countries
can help poorer countries escape from
the "debt trap" by buying off sop!c of
their debt in return for the establishment
of nature preserves within these countries. Simpson said.
Back at home, the government must
also take on more responsibility in curbing the ongoing environmental dcgrada·
lion, Simpson said.
For instance, he said that the U.S.
Forest Service is plundering the old
growth forests in the PacifiC Northwest
at • rate that is sreater than that occurring in the Amazon Basin.
"With this in mind we have to be careful not to point the fin,er atlbjnd Wo~ld
cou,n~ and say you shouldn't bechoping down the tropical rain · forest. We
have to begin at borne," said Haney. 0

I 'vc been doing it for 10 years now ever

" Once while I was crossi ng Shendan
Drive I was hit when a person went
thro~gh the red light. Once in 1988 twas
going down Sheridan and I hit some ice
and fell trying to avoid the traffic . I
broke my collarbone . It could have been
much more serious but I was wearing a
helmet. '"'
Des Forges shares a si milar expenence .
"You have to watch out for people pull·
mg out in fronl of you or o pening car
doors on the street, '"' he says . .. When I
was doing research in Japan in 1975 I
was riding my bike past a car when
so meone opened the door nght an front
of me. h wasn't anything serious but I
did end up lying on the street."
Despite the mishaps. both men rema in
enthusiastic riders and can often be seen
biking along the A-mherst can\pu s But
DcsForges points out th at t here are
o ther concern s such as r idmg 1n warm
temperature s and finding places to park
the bike .
"Some people ma y wonder what yo u

says . ··vou should always lea ve yo ursel f

wad. up a sweat. When I've arnved I
loc k up the bike outsid e of Baldy Hall
It 's safe there . In ten yean I 've never had
a b1k.e sto len .... except fro m my garage ."
Mountai n bikes with big tires are pre fe rred by some facult y especiall y when

the path to learning is laced w i th o bstacles like broken glass and potholes. But
when plan n ing a bike trip t o school.

•• Find a path th at is safe ," suggests
Reichert . ... You may need to map ou t tbe

his week is National Library
Week, which means that
between April 22 and 28.
libraries all over the country
will be celebrating reading and. in
particular. the ability of writers to
suddenly change the lives of young
readers.
"All of the public and academic
libraries in l,he .United Sl.lltes participate,"
said Judith Adams. director of Lockwood
Memorial Library. "It's generated by the
National Library Association. but New
York State is being especially active: it's
encouraging tbe participation of 7,000
libraries and is sponsoring some special
events ...
U B wiU have its own special event: on
April 26 The Poetry and Ran: Books
Library will host "Celebrities of the
Book,·· in which professo rs and
university personnel will read from their
own work or from books that had a
significant effect on their own reading.
President Sample will be one of the
celebrity readers.
It ls somewhat difficult to imagine
professors reading as children; does a
che mistry professor-to-be read about
hyd rqchloric acid under the bedclothes?
Do future philosophers creep downstairs
at night to read Hegel by Oashlillbt?
• Jacob Marinsky. professor emeritus
of chemistry, read books on making it
big by working very hard by Horatio
Alger. "They never failed)' I also liked
P.G. Wodehouse. a man named Small. I
th ink , who wrote mysteries, and Frank
Merriwell's sports stories. J also li~ed
fables and Greek myths and books about
the Civil War... So far, Professor
Maririsky bas not yet made a present of
Ho rati o Alger's books to his grandchildren . '' My wife and I used to read them all
the sta nd ard childre n's stories: the y
ptcked up by themsel ves fro m there ....
• Barbara Bo no. as~oc tate profes~vr
of Englis h. says:

Reading raises monsters and stills
them. It gets you through life."
• Barbara Howell , professor
physiology, immersed her childhood
romance and poetry. "The ftnl book that
made a difference to me was a
translation of 1M Song of Rolturd. I was
swept away by tbe heroism and romance
of it. Then in the eighth grade I
discovered the poetry boob of Edna St.

Vincent Millay, particularly the sonnets,
which I'm prepan:d to argue - in fact. I
often do argue - are as great as any in
the world, including Shaltespean:.
"I still read for pleasure, but I ran:ly
read novels any more because there's so
much history happening in the world. I
read the three major news magazines,
and 1M World Prt" Rtv~w. whicb
gives you quotes from all over the world
without the American bias, and tbe
English &amp;onomut. " Professor Howell
does, however, know a number of
children t o whom she gives books on a
regular basis. "To my little nieces, I make
presents of such things as the Robert
Louis Stevenson Iillk P~m books,
which an: simply delightful, and to my
nephews I give books about spons. I
don' try to influence their reading in any
way. although I rather hope that they
read what I give them. •
• Robert Daly, professor of English
at UB, remembers a childhood in which
books were something of a luxury. "We
were too poor to afford boob, but Edna
Hauserman, who was my grandmother's
sister-in-law, had some money and she

gave us an enormous book full of all
sons of things. I know it mtbt have been
an expensive· bOot he'causi it had color
illustrations OQ good paper. It Was full of
Mother Goose stories, bits of Lewis
Carroll, and unexpurgated versions of
the Brothers Grimm. What I liked about
it was the craziness, the violence, the
sense that anything could happen. I
thought it quite w,onderful and quite
natural that a wicked woman could build
a candy bouse to lure Hansel and Gretel
and then end up being stuffed into a pot
to be cooked alive."
Professor Daly owes the remainder of
his childhood education to a librarian in
Doylestown, Ohio (population 1,800)
where he grew up. "She was called Miss
Brouse, and sbe could get any books in
the state of Ohio."
Miss Brouse was able to satisfy the
young Robert Daiy's taste for violence
and suspense. "I remember reading 7h•
Iittlt EntiN: 1hDt Could.·· about a
small, female powder blue engine that
took toys to children on the other side of
a mountain, and experiencing reaJ
suspense as she chugged along the tracks

no idea about whether she would make it
or not; for some reason the title dido' tip
me off. What I enjoyed was the fact that
this engine was doing something
extraordinary for no apparent adult
reason. ...
.. Adult reasons, .. and, in particular,
adult c;ensorship, gave the young Daly
the perfectly logical opportunity to cut
his teeth on anything that was forbidden.
" My three brothers all got comic books
that I wasn' supposed to read, so, of
course. I read every one. They had these
wonderful action stories in which people
kept doing wildly impossible things like
jumping out of planes without parachutes.
"Then I read. by Oashlight, under the
bed covers, horror comics in which
everything was covered by Spanish moss.
There'd be Spanish moss on the trees.
whicb is where Spanish moss is supposed
to be, and also on the corpses !hat kept
strolling out of the cemetery ...
The appropriately named Miss Brouse
was able 10 satisfy the Daly hunger for
the imp&lt;obable. "The books were graded
by age, so that books o n such and such a
shelf would be for such and such an
age gro up , and I remember asking Miss
Brouse if I co uld read so mething for
older readers. She hauled a book off the ·
she lves, openeQ it , and sa id 'Start
reading there.' I zipped through it. And
after that. I read. everything I could by a
th oroughly forgettable dentist named
Za ne Grey. Zane Grey wrote Westerns
like 7he Spirit of t~ Border and 7he
Lo.s1 Train. She managed to get me every
Zane Grey book in Ohio. That co uldn't
I have been easy, because he wrote like a
demon: he wrote faster tl'an I could

·•Then, in high school. we were given a
prose translation of The Odys.sey. and

Beginning toda y and runn1n g

through Saturday, the School ol
Architecture and Plannmg 1s
celebrating its Co ming of Age
ann iversary. While the sc hool was
based upon unique and innovative
1deas, they were ideas ihat did not get
1m mediate aca:ptancc two decades ago.
The July 1971 issue of Progres.siw
A rchitecture stated that, .. questions.
fears and outright rejection are 'to be
expected to greet the Buffalo effort .
after all, it is proposing to change
totally a pattern of education with

wh 1ch the majority of practicing
arch itects have learned to cope, or at
least co-exist. ..
Due 10 the rapid growth UB was
und ergoi ng at that Lime. Buffalo's effort
to find classroom space: was as
Inno vative as the program itself. The
school's first home was in a bar o n the
co rner of Bailey and Winspear
Ave nues, rented by the Universit y. Its
next locati on was a step up - to a
roo m above a daycare cen ter on
Elmwood Avenue.
The school moved to what is now the
home of UB's Art Department in
Rcthunc. befo~ it finally settled in
Hayes and Crosby Halls on the South
Campus. In most cases. the students
built the furniture they used in these
-classrooms ... While these sites and
co nditions d o not sound conducive to
learning, ironically, they were ideal.
Putting an emphasis on how people
react , work and live in their
environment , the fir.a stud ents were
situated in envi ronrm:nts representative
of the real world

Today'

UB's Department of
Architecture functions in a standard
classroom setting. but it is still tbe only
architcctu~ department in the SUNY
system that offers a professional degree.
Its emphasis on behavior and the
environment rc.mains unique. The

importance of gaining experience by
working within the community rem ains
the back bone of the program .
Referred to as the .. research arm ,..
the Buffalo Organization for Social an d
Technological Innovation (BOSTI) was
established in 1969, but separated from
the undergraduate program after four
years. This non -profit research and
educational corporation , .. was for reaJ
world clients and also provided
education for students ... said Brill .
During that four-year period ,
however, students worked on such
projects as the lease renewal problem
between SaJamanca a nd the Seneca
Nation of Indians and the
establishment of mental health
institutions within the communit y.
In both cases, the goal was to come
up with new approacheS that could be
used in the -~al world ."

"Students
would go
into a great amount of depth
and

sometimes this was not of value to
n:search clients," Brill explained.
"Those two goals ... to provide good
n:search to clients and good education
to students... wen: not always
compatible."
Tbe department's aim is to .. develop
and educate architects who an: visuall y
sensitive, socially aware,
environmentally responsible . .. who
respect and can respond to cultural
roots and can identify human wants
and needs," according lo a description
in the coune catalog.
Though BOSTI no longer works

Dean Bruno Freschi plans to further
this aspect of the program as tbe schoo
enters its third decade and the next
centu ry.
" UB is right on the threshold," said
F rcschi, who has been dean of the
school for one year . .. It's exciting. (The
school ) is in for a ~al struct ural
reshaping for the next generation.
We're in the process of doing a
co mplete review of the existing
program.
.. Wc want to sustain tbe atmosphere
of experiment. .. work more intensively
with the local community," Freschi
continued. "For example, the
waterfront project and other sectors
within the city ...

Freschi

stressed that the
school is going to sustain what has
been the aim of the program from the
onset. Having been at UB for only a
year, F n:schi pointed out that the
founding dean John Eberhard and dean
crru:ritus Harold Cohen "embody" the
values that the sd!ool upholds.
Brill, in conjunction with associate
professor Ibrahim Jammal, compiled a
report commemorating 11:ae FllSt Few
Years," highlighting Eberhard as a
...visonary."
"In early 1968 UB president Martin
Meyerson aslr.ed Eberhard to design
and establish a loWly oew school of
architectwe and planning,• occording
to the report. • Eberhard was given free
rein to design tbe institution.. .it was a
thriUing chance to shape an educational
institution to serve a set of ideas.
.. Its founding and posture were
very much a part of this univemty's
broad questioning of what an education
should be."
The School of Architecture and
Planning continues to play an
important role in the Boffalo
community. Two of the focal points of

1h as weekend 's celebration are the re-

use of St. Mary of Sorrows Church
and the Buffalo River Project.
Clinieal Associate Professor Beverly
Albe rt is t.bc curator aod studio head of
the transformation of St. Mary of
So rrows, a local historical landmark,
mto the K.ing Urban ille Cc:ntcr.
Students nave helped to design feasible
ways to make the church that was once
n tcd for demolition, into a functional
n·n tcr.
f-- rom an environmental and cultural
pc:rspcctive, Associate ProfessQI Lynda
'chnccklotb and her graduate students
w1ll give tours of the Buffalo River ,
Investigating its reclamation potential.
Schneckloth explained that a
re medial action planning group
re viewed the Buffalo river area and
made recommendations for transitional
uses.

"They identified one area ealled I 00
Bailey Avenue .. .it's a wisp of land
(approximately 5 acres near Cazenovia
creek) that over 25 yean has revcgetated itself," Schneckloth said .
"This isn' Tifft Farm - it's different .
ThtS is about BufTBlo and cultural
hastory."
Schneckloth e.plaioed that she and
her st udents asked, .. what is the best
way to take action? .. They spent the
last year and a half using imagination to
create images of ways the area can be
n::stored and utilized. A building that
was once a supc:nnarket and bottling
plant is already on the land and can be
adapted for rc:-u.se as an k.nvironmental

Education ~nter .
Such projects as the Buffalo
Waterfront Studio Project and a lab
t\\at gives low-&lt;:ost design assistance to
the disabled while meeting federal
building requirements, epitomize the
versatililty and depth the school bas
achieved over just two decad es.

Depth

and versatility are
aspects of the program tllat Brill finds
to he one of the school's maio
strengths.
~This is not a school with one
particular ideology .. .it doesn' look at
design from one Yiewpoint," Brill said.
"It's very diverse and (within tile
school) is respectful of that diversity.
At a lot of places, when tllere are
different ideologies, tlley Iuiie each
other.
"Of any single thing I can say, tile
remarkable diversity (of t.bc students
and school) stands o.u t," he continued.
"There are a ve ry strong group of
radical economists wlio ine veroj
interested in the economics of the
environment in a social sense. Then
there are people who are essenually
futurists who look at trend s."
While diversity, depth and
environmental and behavioral conce rns
remain the groundwork upon which the
U B School of Architecture and
Planning has been established, it can
no longer he accused of following a
trend. Rather, the program can bo
viewed as havi ng set a trend .

Continued from Page 5
that here was a young person who
managed to tum the law around see med
to me to be tremendously significant.
..Then, through junior high, I read
everything I co uld lay my hand s on
about people escaping from World War
II prison camps, and I read Exodus,
about the formation of Israel. The thrust
was always people doing significant
things at great risk to themselves.
.. Now, since I'm an adult and d o
demanding things in my own life. I'm less
demanding in my reading. I read murder
mysteries and early theology. I'm still
interested in bistorieal biography, but I
can't stand stuff that manipulates the
facts ."
Professor "'udwig. who married a
widower aod found herself faced with tile
need to reach four motherless children,
considers reading aloud a powerful
source of communication . .. Really, it was
tbe primary, means of establishing
rapport. I used to read every night to
them - Pippi Longstocking, Treasure
lslmtd, Doctor Doliu/e and Brighty of
th~ Grand Canyon, which is about a
mule. That was the opener of a dialogue
between me and tllis family who had lost
their mother.

-Really, the act of reading aloud is a
performance:: you get to change yo ur
voice: around or stop and say, 'What do
you think is going to happen next?' It 's
very comforting to both parties."'
Adults, believes Professor Ludw1g,
ha ve a dut y to show children the world's
va lues; for that reason, she feels the
wonder of reading is that it can
illuminate a world wider than Des
Moines, Iowa, where she grew up.
"Books for a lot of young people arc a
way of realizing that there 's more to th e
world around us than what we see.
"I remember National Library Wee k's
slogan from years ago, " she said .
"'Reade11 are Leaders.' That's always
stayed with me - both as an observation
and as an obligation."
·~lebrities of the Book: will take
place at 3:30 p.m. on April 26 in The
Rare Books Room. The readers will
include President Sample, and Profes·
sors Judith Albino, Jonatban Reichert,
Mendel Sachs, Paul Garvin and Thomas
Avj,. Tnree real live librarians, Will
Prout, Loss Pequeno Gluier and
Deborah Hwted, will also read excerpts

he '90s may be the decade of
Liberal Ans.
Employers today are gammg
appreciation for th e man y
values of a liberal arts education and liberal arts grads can compete with s pecialized majors in the marketplace .
.. , have see n more students c hoos1ng a
liberal arts education in recent years."
said Dr. Allifn Canfield, senior academic
advisor . .. 1 think that th ere is a general
realization that a broad ed ucati on ma y
be beneficial in the long run, as opposed
to a specialized education, which , in th~
past, most people fell they needed '"
order to get jobs."
According to Janet Mather, a sc:mor
career development and placement as'ociate for the Office of Ca reer Planning
and Placement, a liberal ans maj or can
succeed in a variety of careers.
"Because the liberal ans educatio n 1s
not as specialized , the students are able
to branch out into man y different fields ."
s he pointed out. ..They tend to have a
s tronger understanding of different
people.
"Specialized maj ors have a set schedule of req uired courses. whereas liberal
ans students have more freedom to
choose their course of study," said
Mather. "They tend to take ~ urses that
make them think , analyze, and come up
with ahernative sol utions to problems,
which is highl y valued in the working
world ...
The skills acq uired from
the coursework of a libetal
arts education create more
adap table , nexible indivi duals in the work force,
Mather added .
-so metimes you hear
abou t liberal arts majors
who arc driving cabs, or
work..ing odd jobs, .. commented Mather. " It's reaUy
no t so true today. Those
who are like that have
aJiowed themselves to be
that way ...

M

ather, who recentl y
conducted a work shop for liberal arts stu dents, said that "one of the
first steps toward seeking a
caree r is to find out what
sk.ill.s ma.k.e you competitive.
" Competing with specialized majors in the job
market may prove difficult
in the beginning, .. she said .
"The key is to sell yourself
early on, while still in
sc hool ,.. she said . "and
make yourself as attractive
in the job market as possible - by maintaining high
grades, acquiring compu·
ter skills. getting involved
in campus activities and
taking on leadership roles,
o r getting part time jobs.

.. It is also important to
evaluate yourself, redefining your pent&gt;nal goals
and qualities 10 figure out
which ones are liesi suited
for each Career. • ·
Once you have '"targeted
yourself," Mather said, a
variety of occupations is
available. "Many people
with a liberal arts backgro'!lld -~e . 8~ man-

l

agcrs or excellent salespeople,.. she
added, st ressi ng the importanct of
acq uiring the necessary ski lls early on in
o ne's college ca reer _
Mather also hsted options for people
with experience in fund-raising . teaching. or co unseling, which i. . ~;udes working for non-profit o rgan ization s or social
welfare agencies. J o urnalism, public
relations. advenising, o r publishing, may
be SUi tab le for those with stro ng writing
sk ills. such as Eng lis h or communicatiOns majors.
Most majors agree that a liberal ans
education provides good writing and
co mmunicatton skills. useful to an y disci pline . .. Bemg able to expre:ss you rself
v~r bally and o n paper applies to any
occupatio n." sa td Juh~ Robinson . a juniO r wuh a double major m co mmunications and in tern attonaJ st udies a nd a
mmor in Spamsh . Robinson plans to
work in the fo reign service, o r possi bly as
a translator . "To get the most out of my
educa ti on here. I in tend to utilize the
school for as much as it has to offer, ..
Robinson said . .. I try to keep my grade
poi nt average as high as possib le, and I
get as many internships as I can."
LeAnn Bonnell, an English major
with a minor in Latin. plans to work in
publishing. She feels her background in
writing and literature will benefit her .
" I'd like to be in the forefront of what's
going on in literature today, .. she said ... I
think English majors can deal with people very well - English majors learn
how to talk to people and present themselves in the best light. ..

"Being able to
express yourself
verbally and on
paper applies to
any occupation"

A

n_ot her advantage .t hat
libera l arts maJor s
have is the freedom to
learn and develop o ther
skills. Many liberal ans
majors take courses in
writing, language, or com·
puters to make themselves
more competitive,.. commented Michael Rivera,
se nior career planning and
placement associate. ... A
worl&lt;ing knowledge of foreign languages or computers is very valuable in the
JOb market."
Douglas Rath, a senior
graduating with a B.A. in
communications, plans to
work in the field of computers. He has certificates
in systems analysis and
design and oomputa information systems.
Rath bas found persona] enjoyment in bo th
areas of study.
.. Good comm unicati o ns
sltills are definitely !acting
in many professions, and
the variety -of skills from
my communications course
work allows me to practice
them," said Rath.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Repone&lt; StaN

niversities around the
country have
eJrperienced an
increasing number of
bias-related incidents
involving issues of
discrimination and
intolerance on the basis
of race, ethnicity, or
sexual orientation.
UB has not escaped
this ugly fact of life.
A~yone who walks
through campus buildings or lives
in the dormitories has seen graffiticovered walls, defaced posters
· scrawled with messages of hate,
and has heard about threats of
physical abuse and death against
particular groups at the University.
This issue ofbiu wu raised at last wttk's Faculty Senate ExecutiwCommittce(FSEC) moc:tinJ by University President Steven B.
Sample. He came before !be FSEC to respond to the senate n:solutioa of Oct. 17, 1989 which called upon him "to talr.e aU actions
wilbiD bis authority to aifon:e Resolution 83-216 of the SUNY
Board of Tna&amp;oa. w

The raolutiou, da1od Oct. 26, 1983, stipulates that "it il. !be

opportunities within the Univenity illelf. •
Sample stressed that the Univenity'l
policy on discrimination '"starts off positively by stating tbe responsibility for
each individual to respocttbe ri&amp;hts and
dignity of others." He added t.ha1 "our
policy is often seen u being directed
toward homosexuals on campus_ h is.
however, actually mUch broader in
scope."
A number of faculty senators
expressed support for the Univenity's
policy. SUNY Senator Edward Jenkins
endorsed Sample's "clear and couragea us stand against intolerance ... and commended him for his statements.
Outside tbe FSEC, other members of
the University community abo expressed
support for Sample's leadership in this
area. Accordin£ to George Unger, associate director or the Office of Equal
Opportunity/ Affirmative Action
(EO / AA), ·ua bas bad very aggressive
leadership from President Sample in
terms of minority n:cruitment, changes
in the U niversitv work force, and
changes in student. demographics ...
Unger added that "tberc have been a
number of initiatives developed at U 8 to
address the broad spoctrum of equal
opportunity and afftrmative action concerns ... Workshops have been presented
on issues such 8.$ culturaJ diversiry,
reporting and ma..rbg;.ng seJtuaJ harassment, and rape prevention. ~our office
works with various units within the Uni-

versity on issues such as sexual harassment." Unger said. adding that, "the
University takes all cases of harassment
very serious! y ...

S

cxual harassment is a common form

of discrimination and intolerance
not just at UB t)ut on university campuses nationwide. Unger noted that it is
"'very easy to report incidents of sexual
harassment at U 8.. - cases can be
r&lt;:ported to the EO / AA, to Public Safety
or to department chairs. She added that
persons who repon cases of sexual
harassment can me a grievance with the
EO / AA and most cases can be resolved
through an "informal" process.
In addition, persons who repon such
cases arc protected by the Univ.:nity.
·There is no retaliation agaill!t any per-son who reports an incident involving
sexual harassment, • Unger said, adding
that ~those round guilty of harassment
arc disciplined."
The EO / AA recently distributed
copies of a pamphlet titled NonDiscrimiiUllion &amp;Md On &amp;Xlllll Or-iDttation. According to Unger, "the pamphlet has been very well received by botb
the student body and tbe Lesbian/Gay/
Bisexual Alliance (LGBA)." Sbe added
that "our office bas received botb positive feedback and further suggestions on
how to resolve discrimination based on
sexual orientation."
The EO/ AA-produced pampblct is
especially timely since tbc largest
increase in bias-related incidents or discrimination bave centered on the gay
community.
According to Robert L Palmer, Jr.,
vice provost for student affain and ciWr
of the University Tuk Force on Intolerance, "there bas been an increase in biasrelated incidents espccially witb respoct
to gays and lesbians." He added t.ha1 "it
has come to the attention of tbe task
force tbat there bas been an inaeue in
tbreateni.ug graffiti toward gay and lesbian studcnta, but not an iDcrcax in tbe

number ol pb:pic:al tdUcb oa tbia poup
ol people.- Pu-t IUIIrld that tbe task
force "ba been wortiQa with Uoiw:nity
majntm•!MT to re180ft any gaff'Jti as
lOOn a it is identified_"
Why bas tbe py IIDd loaiJtaD community been liDIIed out fc.- diocrimination on
campus? Palmo:r noted t.ha1 the "rise or
AIDS bas trigtred a focus on anti-gay
activity at tbe Uoiw:nity.• He added tbat
""it is ~ disturbing to anyone
on campus wben any one group is
sinaled out..
One J)VIJI08C or tbe Task Force,
aa:onli"8 to Palma, is to mote UB
"more open and n:ceptive to divcn;ity. •
He said tbat "all members or the UB

"In cases involving
threatening letters,
our officers use
forensic tools to

community should have their human
dignity respected .~

'
A
attention

ootbcr reason offered for the
increase in anti-gay activity is the
t.ha1 bas been focused on tbe
JAG (Judge Advocate Gcncr.ol) Corps
issue that developed in the spring of last
year. "Some of the anti-gay graffiti at the
Law School may be a result or heated
dlscussion on this issue. • Palmer said.
Because the task force report is currently in the draft stage, Palmer said he
was reluctant to mention any of its
specif"IC rccollllDI:Ddations "until my colleagues have reviewed the documcnL "
1l&gt;c report should be made public,
according to Palma, by the end or April
and it contains "input and broad representation from all groups on campus."
In terms of statistics, lnspoctor Dan
Jay or Public Safety noted that in 1989

(ihc fll'lt full year t.ha1 Public Safety kept
llatiJiica OD tbia iaue), five . , _ of &lt;fis..
crimiJWioa were teported, all involving
sexual orientation.
"11lree of the cases involved damaged
property in the form or graffiti while tbe
otber two concerned tbrcatening notes
sent to members or the gay community,·
Jay said. So far this year, three cases
have been reported, again involving
cases of sexual orientation. ""This year,
we ancsted a suspect accused of sending
a threatening letter to a member or the
gay community, • Jay said.
How does Public Safety investigate
cases of intolerance or discrimination?
According to Jay,· all r&lt;:ports of biasrelated discrimination arc followed up
and investigated. "In cases involving
threatening letters and notes, our officers
use forensic tools to determine fingerprints, handwriting analysis, and tbe
type or typewriter used to compose tbe
note," Jay stated. He added that "we will
prosecute suspocts involved in these
kinds or cases."
ln addition to investigating such cases,
Jay noted tbat all Public Safety officers
receive training in tbe areas or cultural
awareness and sensitivity .... Our officers
have a number of opportunities to attend
seminars on these issues," Jay said. He
added tbat all incidents involving intolerance or di.scrimination are investigated
in ua very confidential and non·
threatening manner."
A spokeswoman for the LGBA echoed
the earlier remarks concerning the
increase in the number or bias-r&lt;:lllled
incidents against members of the gay and
lesbian community. "The LGBA wants
the University administration to make a
statement concerqing anti·8BY violence
and we want Pub,lic Safety to take our
concerns seriously." the spo$.eswoman
said. She added that "there is a lot of
homophobia on this campus and the
LGBA receives threatening letters at
least every other week .

"T

her&lt;: is a gulf between what the
University administration says
and the reality of discrimination and
intolerance on this campus ... said the
LGBA spokeswoman. She added: "The
fact that the JAG Corps is allowed to
recruit on campus creates an atmosphere
for anti-gay incidents to take place."
In an attempt to combat anti-gay
activity, the LGBA · has initiated workshops to raise indivic!_uals' consciotuncss
toward members or the gay and lesbian
community. The LGBA recently held a

worbbop at Govemon for rcaident
adviJon to deal- with homophobia in tbe
dormitories.
Witb respoct to campJII dormitories,
an increase bas been noted in tbe amount
or graffiti targeting botb ethnic and gay
members or tbe UB c:Ommunity. According to San Cassell, residence ball director at the International Living &lt;:enter
(ILQ in Ellicott, ~graffiti is all over the
place and it is mostly against homosexuals ...
There is also graffiti tbat is anti-Asian
in orientation. In Spaui!Jing Hall, "there
is mutual ignorance among ethnic
groups," Cassell said, adding. "wben I
told my white friends tbat I was moving
to the ILC. tbey were surprised because
of the number or Asian students there.He said that there have not been many
incidents involving bias-related discrimination in tbc past few years and graffiti
round in any dormitory is usually
r&lt;:moved as soon as possible.
· Racism and iotok:r&amp;Dee are not always
openly manifested within the University
community. According to Henry Taylor,
director of the Center for Applied Public
Affain Studies, "a more invidiow form
of racism is institutional or what 1 call
'polite' racism."
This form or di.scrimination is often
subtle and invisible to the larger University community. ~It can be occn," Taylor
said, ~in departments tbat remain lilywhite or in inst.anocs where Af~
Americans arc passed over for p~
motion."
Taylor would like to sec the Univenity
administration bring more pressure to
bear on departments to hire more
African-American faculty and recruit
more minority graduate studc:Ms. In
addition, Taylor noted that "the University should pour more resources into
areas and strengthen departments that
have attempted to deal witb AfricanAmericans and other groups."
Taylor stressed tbat changes in tbe
curriculum at botb the uni"''rsity and
high school levels need to take place so
that white students have contact with
minority faculty and students.
"The diversity or Amcnca needs to be
addressed in this violence," Taylor
added. He added that· "institutional
structures, by their very nature, act as
barriers for groups or people to advance
themselves. These barriers need to be
taken down if minority members or the
University community arc to be able to
D
participate.•

FSEC debates University's involvement in China
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Repor1er StaN

T

he Universuy"s invo lvement in
C hina was among the issues
discu ssed at the March 28
Facult y Se nate Exec utive

Co mmiuee

(fSEC)

meeting

in

the

Jeanette Manin Room in Capen HaJJ.
The group also heard a repon on implementing the mandatory intercollegiate
athletic fee by Roben Palmer. vice presi·
dent for student affairs.
Speaking in suppon of U B's continued
mvolvernent 1n China in the wake of last
summer's Tiananmen Square massacre
was Stephen Dunnett. associate provost
for international programs, and three
representatives of the Chinese Student

Associate (CSA ).
The CSA represe ntatives noted that
the Chinese government is ..closing the
door to students who want to stud y
abroad ." They added that Chinese students in the United States have begun a
letter writing campaign to persuade their
government to change its policies regarding students who want to study abroad .
CSA representatives also made an
emotional appeal to the FSEC. One student said that "when we were in China.

we co uld o nly read about dem oc raq· 1n
textbooks or see tt in Amencan mov1es.
We had never ex perienced it. ... Another

student made a plea to both the FSEC
and tbe University admi nistration: .. Help
us turn the dream of democracy a nd
freedom into a good idea. Help us to
keep the dream alive ...
Dunnett noted that the current Situ ation in Chin a is similar to that when UB
first established its exchange programs in
that country in 1980. He added that
.. today, most of the regu latio ns governing the exchange program are considered
by the Chi nese to be a joke." Exchange
programs such as the University 's, Dunnett said, are exempt from the new rules
that bar Chinese students from studying
overseas.
FSEC member Anthony Ralston of
Computer Science maintained that U 8
"should not have official relation! with
the Chinese government." He added that
the most important argument is the
human rights issue!. "The single wo"t
message we can send is to do business
with the government of China."
Ralston told the FSEC that the sit uation in China is much the same as that in
the Soviet Union during the early 1980s.
He has had extensive communications

Ralston 's reso lution w&amp; defeated by a
vote of 10-5 with one abstention The
1ss ue will go before the full Facult )'
Senate later this month.

Roberl Palmer"s repor1 to the FSEC
focused on the issue of implementmg a
mandatory intercollegiate athletic fee for
all U 8 undergraduate st udents. He noted

that in 1988 the Board of Trustees
granted SUNY campuses the option of
imposing a mandatory fcc for athletic

progranu.
Palmer said that the policy mandated
that all campuses initiate a campus-wide
consul tation plan. UB 's plan was
approved in November, 1989. and the
consultation process included the FSEC.
the Professional Staff Senate, the Provost's Office and the Undergraduate
Student Association (SA).
What emerged from the consultation

process was a three-day student rderen·
dum on the proposed athJetic fcc . Palmer

re ported that out of 1.606 votes cast. 965
students voted "no"' to the fee while 640
; upported 11 . On the Friday before the
Monday vo te on the fee . the SA pulled
tts suppon for the fee even though they
had previously endorsed the plan.
Palmer said . He does not accept the
results of the referendum . he sa1d .
because of the pullout by th e SA
C urrent funds all ocated to athlet1c
programs (S375.000). said Nelson Townse nd , directo r of the Division of Athlet ICS , arc contrib uted vol untaril y by students . He added th at 90 percent of that
mone y goes toward "operating" costs
that include travel , equipment and the
refurbishing of o ld equipment. .. No stu·
dent mo ney goes to salaries or for
athle tic grants-in-aid ... Townse nd said .
Provost William Greiner noted that
..without a mandatQry st udent fee. there
will be no intercollegiate athletic program
Greiner noted that the Universi ty
..wanted to separate the issue or the
mandatory fee from student government." The amount of the proposed fee,
according to Townsend, is $35 for each
undergraduate st udent.

PET-scan possibilities·
By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO
Pulica1ions Staff

I

f a person has a heart attack and
there 's very lillie blood flowing
through the heart muscle, the
muscle may he in trouble.
Or it may already be dead.
Up to now, there basn\ been a good
way to teU the di!Ierenoe.
Now. a technique calkd PET scanning
(positron emission tomography) may dothe trick.
" It's alway• a surprise to laymen that
we don\ have a good way to say if part
of the body is truly alive or dead ," said
John Mazziotta, M.D., Ph. D., one of the
leading authorities on P ET.
A neurologist who is d irecto r of the
UCLA PET Clinical Center in Los
Angeles, Mazzioua discussed PET's
capabilities in lectures sponsored by the
Den1 Neurologic Institute at MiUard
Fillmore Hospital in conjunction with
the University at Buffalo.
LocaJ phys icians and researchers are
excited about PET's possibilities because
a S 12 miltion PET Imaging Center is
pla nned for Buffalo through the efforts
of UB and the VA Medical Center. It is
sla ted to be com plete by the end of 1991.
PF.T represents a whole new tool in
medicine. Mazziotta explained. It's a
way to cond uct - from outside the body
- a biochemical anal)'lis of e:vcnts
occurring in the body. It's a way to detect
disease earlier a nd presc r ibe more
individualized treatments.
PET is the latest in comp uter scanning
techniques. Trace amoun ts of radioactive
co mpo unds. which emit particles ca!Jed
positrons. are injected into the pa tient 's
body. Based on the pattem of X-rays
emitted by the positrons, a co mputer
generates three-dimensionaJ images.

T

hese images, often in neon colors.
show bow an organ is wo rk ing
rat her than what it looks like.
Mazziotta gave the example of the
blood flow in the heart muscle. If doctors
can get blood flowing through lhe
muscle after a heart attack. they may be
able to get the heart to function well
again. However, the tiss ue co uld be dead
and it would be a futile effort.
By looking at P ET. sca ns of glucose
metabolism in the muscle, doctors can
get a better idea of the damage to the
heart, he explained.
If the scan sbows dark arus, the tissue
is still using large amounts of glucose.
That means it's in jeopardy, but still
viable. If the scan shows tight areas. the
tissue is using little glucose and is dead .
Using this information, doctors can
determine whether bypass surgery would
be worthwhile or whether the more
drastic- heart transplant is necessary.
Showing a stide of a pointillist painting. M~otta explained that in the
research .,t UCLA, '"we're trying to step
back from looking at all of the details
and get the big picture of bow these
organs work, how they perform in the
healthy body, and bow they fail; and
when they fail, what we can do about it
that's relevant for individual patients."

This is one of the bette r funded

• Early detection of disease: P ET. can
spot biochemicaJ changes in the brain
that occur before the struct ure is altered,
even before symptoms begin. This would
be imponant in detecting inherited
diseases.
• Alzheimer's: P ET. is the only test for
Alzheimer's.
• Animal research: PET. is a painless,
non invasive test th at could replace some
tests that would require killing the
animal.
PET does have its limitations ,
MazziotLt noted. One limitation is that
lhe images an: blurry, though they have
greatly. improved over the last 10 years.
But since PET. imaging has reached a
practical level, Mazziotta said he 'd
rather give up some clarit y of image to
ma.lte the technology cheaper.

W

bile it is now one of the most
expensive technologies to enter
clinical medicine. recently major
corporations have entered tbe field of
commerical development, which has
already started to drive prices down , he
said.
T.be machines have been built as
prototypes, but as they're manufactured
on a production tine, the cost will
probably be less than that of the
common MRI (magnetic resonance
imaging), Mazzioua predicted.
He also pointed out that the major
expeuoe of a PET center is the eydotron,

by the Department of Chemical

principal organizer of the series, invited
F1ed ler because be "'"was impressed with
Dr. Fiedler's accomplishments and his
publL&lt;hed philosophy. Afler hearing his
lect ure. I don't think you will be:
surprised why I invited him ...
The seminar series includes lecturers

counter-culture\ effect on American
education. Bloom 's book "is a belated
response to the campus revolts" of that
era.. .. when he and 1... were on opposite
sides of the struggle." Fiedler said. The
changes wrought ~n higher learning
and .. the growing #power of stud e'nts to
determine their course of education
displeases Bloom. but I applaud them
heartily."
o expla1n exactly what Bloo~
deplores in American education,
FiedJer provided an anecdote from his
e a rly years at the University of
Wisconsin. In 1939, Fiedler attended his
fin! departmental "gathering of the
Englis h Department." At the mc;eting, "a
se nior member of the department, who was as old then, as I realize with a
shock., as J am now - rose to say, 'I
do n't know what's wrong with universities these days, but our students don't
read and write as weU as they used to.""
Fiedler claimed he has heard that
to mplaint for decades since then, .. but I
heaJ'II it first in 1939." Fiedler bad an
answer .. but I was a trt:mulous T.A. and
didn' dan: say it aloud."
However. his answer would have been;
.. , know what's wrong - I'm what's
wrong with the system. Once you begin
admitting people like me ... once you
have admitted the grandson of the
grandmother who could neither read nor
write, when you began to democratize
the university, to tum it from a minority
institution into a majority institution. a
part of mass culture... the damage is
done, and will continue to grow worse."
Fiedler nonetheless concluded !bat "it
will have been wonb it, since many who
were formally deprived academically, as
well u economically and socially in the
United States, will !bus be given a
chance to sbarc: in a cultural heritage
once preserved for !bose who wen:
already overprivileged in other regards."
The popularity of this notion is
"beginning to spread everyw~. to
every institution in our land, including
!bose elite universities founded on
European models oft whom Bloom
believes the future of academic
excellence depends," Fiedler observed.
MWbat then will he the fate of
e~ in the lcind of large, multiPW'()OS!'. publicly supported univeraity
systems .. . ?" Fiedler asked .
~Bow . can tJ.1c idea, of excellence

T

.

l_

.· -

The students and even the faculty of
such universities will be "to usc a most
pejorative term - mediocre," Fiedler
said, adding !bat "the term 'mediocre' is
a mean-spirited one, so let\ substitute
the word ·average'...

A

!though Fiedler sympathized with
"the misguided impulse" of students
.. who demand excellence,... achieving
that goal "is something different from
gelling higher grades at whateVer cost."
Fiedler said !bat "we must also explain
to our students that, altbough everyone
should strive for exceUence in tenD! of
intellectual pre.emineoce... by the very
definition of the word •excellence'. not
everyone is capable of attaining
excellence.
·After all, to excel means to be better
than most, and most cannot be better
than most!" Fiedler insisted.
Most students will be ..avenagc,"' in
" the bulging middle of the curve,"
Fiedler said. "11tis does not mean the
average, or the mediocre sbould be
excluded or despised."
The democratic university, ...lite the
larger democratic society,~ Fledlc:r said,
"exists for them, the majority, the
average majority." But such a univcnity
"exists also for the gifted minority, for
those more skillful in readin&amp; writing.
and arithmetic," FICdler contended.
• At the same moment we realize that
excellence is not available to all," Fiedler
said, "we must insist on the fact that a (' ·
respect for exceUence is available to all"
Instructors must teadi students to Mnot
only respect the excellence fo)lnd in their
books," Fiedler said, but "they must also
learn to respect it ,in-.. the handful of
their classmates who will w.rite the next
books that will endure and be tau&amp;bt. to
their children when they. come: ·to
school."

Early explorers, says Scol!,

records of its history, but
later visitors reponed that

Unlike most philosophies, Buddhism
docs not ad vocate a system of ethics as
such . .. Rather. it points o ut a wa y of life
that is pure , direct , harmo nious. that is
uninjured . n o n ~o bst r uct ed, .. fnad a
explained . ~A reaJizati on of Buddha 's
principles will automaticaJl y give o ne a
sense of compassion, but it is not a
formula. These principles come alive in
terms of practicing ...
American culture has been significantly
influenced by Buddhist thought. The
initiaJ impact came indirectly through
Europe, .. when missionaries brought
back. translations of Buddhist works to
America, during the early and mid~ 19th
century," lnada explained ... As Asians
began pouring into America during the
la tter part of the century , the y
maintained Buddhism as a kind of home

was to .. tell American society what
cultural elements they should be exposed
to .... The war in Vietnam generated a
widespread interest in Asian society. he
noted . .. 1 was happ y to see that people
were lookfn g at Asia ... lnada recalled .
.. The heyd ay of American interest lasted
from '63 to IS, when the war was
officially over. and interest petered o ut. "
The rise of Japanese capitaJjsm and
imperialis m tn the '80s and '90s has
plac&amp;t Japan as "the symboli c focus" of
American understanding of Asia, Inada
o bse rved . ..Th is ma y be the second round
of the Asian influence, as interest in
Asian Studies is co ming back ... lnada
sa 1d .
lnada contends that the growi ng
eco nomic tension between the U.S . and
Japan has created ethnocentricity in the
two countries . .. Japan has taken on an
aloof altitude, a 'we can tackle the world·
anitude ... Inada said . "'The problem is
that neither country reaJiy understands
the other's method of doing things.
American society is more open, while the
Japanese are very closed . The exposure
1s therefore unequaJ. and with the
language barrier. the - dialogue is
st rained ....
Nonetheless. lnada sees .. a great future
for relations between both countries. As
more Americans study Japanese culture
and language - "if you study the language , you 11 understand why the Japanese are the way they are" - lnad a
expects the .. spiritual contract" between
both cultures to improve.

clash between two warring
factions of the island's
inhabitants.
"After the battle. there was
a long period of strife and
cultural decline. It was
probably then that the statues
were overturned.
"Then this bird cult took
over. It reached its peale in
the 1860s, when there were
ceremonies and fel'lility rites.
There was a competition in
which people climbed down
tbe cliffs and swam ihrough
shark-iofested waters to fetch

the first egg laid by the
seabirds nesting in tiny islets
around the island . The winner
is said by some to have been
made into some sort of
incarnation of Make Make
for a year ... Another theory
holds that the winner was
made the favored servant of a
high prieSt to the birds oo the
lip of1bc volcano.
Some of the petroglyphs
recorded by Koll show eggs
in the hands of the enigmatic
figures; the vulva image, or
Komani, was probably at the

center of related feniht y
rituals.
Preparing the daubings for
exhibit was a task in itself.
Patricia Scott stretched them
over wooden frames, so that
they could be hung like
canvases. She was belped by
Elaine B. Herold, a professor
at Buffalo State College, who
planned the current exhibit
with Patricia Scott and
Kathryn Stan, a student in

Department. They were
assisted by Paul Nasca., Hugh

Khmer Rouge were taken out of control
by a Vietnamese-baclr.ed government.
"I saw my people go back to the city.
They have their own bicycles. They have
their own shoes now. It is better than
during the Khmer Rouge time ,... he said .
.. but it is still zero ...
Ngor believes that a change m th e

the country is to survive, but does not
want to see the Khmer Rouge reinstalled . " l never trust the Khme r

them what to do, ... be continued, "'Hke a

The two also expressed concern over
the events happening around Cambodia.

originally we tried to raise

"revival" of the original
exhibit which Patricia Scott
produced at UB in 1979 ll.Dd
which she dedicated to the
memory of Mulfoy and his
work on the Wand.
Jacques Cousteau, who was
working on Easter ls1and
with a camera crew while
Koll was there, was so
fascinated by the daubing

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

pros and cons of replacing pledge
periods. Jacqueline Burgos, president of
the city-wide chapter of Alpha l(appa
Alpha, says "we will follow the decision
of AKA National on the subject, but
we're not doing anything definite u of
yet. "
Burgos believes ending pledge periods
would be a "mistake." The original function of pledging, she maintains, was to
"give initiates the historical background
and knowledge of the sisterhood
system."
St. Rose, preiident of Zeta

a good idea to end hazing by

POLISHING
··:?3 U,PI .. ~
GREEK IMAGE
By KEVIN MOORE
Reporter Staff

n an effort to shake off a bad image
and improve relations with the
University Heights community,
several U B Greek organizations are
considering steps to eliminate
pledging, as well as the use of alcohol, from their recruiting programs.
Robert Henderson, University liaison
for the Greeks, believes~the decision to
end pledging arises from "cona:rns over
liability for hazing and alcohol abuse
which can unfortunately occur during
those events."
Leading tbe way in "making significant
changes" in Greek reCruiting programs,
according to Henderson, are Zeta Beta
Tau and Tau Kappa Epsilon. "Both ZBT
and TKE are working on experimental
programs to replace pledging," Bender·
son says. "Other groups are looking at
changes, ,but nothing definite so far. •
ZBT bas implemented a new "brotherhood program" based on guidelines set
by ZBT National to reform recruitment
policies, according to Kyle Roelofs, president of the local chapter. The new pro- ,
gram requires "two weeks of rushing,
which is less than the six weeks of pledging we usually run," Roelofs explains.
"ln the next three years," Roelofs says,
"you're going to see more fraternities and
sororities followioi our lead, due to hazing concerns and other minor incidents."
The UB TKE chapter "wiU most likely
follow suit with ZBT by not having any
pledp next semester," says TKE president Warren Hurt. The fraternity is
experimenting with a new program "specifically to prevc_nt tbe possibility of hazing," Hurt maintaips.

"Basically, we'll go through the regular
rush, but within two weeks, initiates wiU
become full-fledged brothers," Hurt
says.
TKE bas taken other steps to eliminate
hazing and alcohol abuse. "We have

Faculty Senate votes 'no'
on ~transfer of Statistics
By JEFFERY l. JACKSON
Repor1er StaH

T

he Facult y Senate , in a close

vote March 20, has decided not
to accept the transfer of the

Statistics Department to the
School of Medicine and Biomedical
Sciences.
The senate took two separate votes on
the Statistics issue: a .. negative .. vote
against accepting the transfer of the
department from the Faculty of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics to the medical
school (23-19) and a "positive" vote on
the issue of faculty governance.
According to Judith Hopkins, senate
secretary, "'the negative vote was more
important. ... The resolution on faculty
governance. proposed by Jeremy Noble
of Music. stated that "the Faculty Senate
lleplores the process by which the
proposed transfer of the .Statistics
Department from the FNSM to the
SMBS was handled." This was passed
33-3 witlr I abstention.
The vote on the proposed transfer of
the Statistics Department was introduced
in a resolution by Nicolas Goodman of
mathematics. Goodman's resolution rec~
ognized that faculty members in the Statistics Department had "voted in favor of
transferring the Department to the
. SMBS;'" and that the ·SMBS "has supported the proposed transfer." Goodman
wanted the Faculty Senate to approve
the transfer of the department because
members of Statistics had themselves
agreed to the move.
A number of senaton spoke against
the motion. ADthony Ralston of Computer Science held that "the senate wu not
being uked to give advice to the University adminiatration HI inatead to
acquieace in a fait accompli."
Ralston continued apeaking apinst
tbe resolution, ilatina that tbe tlanafer of
tbe department from tbe FNSM to tho
SMBS would. be "aal event unique in
American academe." He added that "\he

move (of the Statistics Department)
would amount to the death of mathematical statistics at this University with the
result that UB could end up as the only
Association of American Universities
( AA U) institution without a mathematical statistics presence."
Ralston added that there was one
merit to the proposed move. "The only
advantage of the move for the department would be to remove it from the
control of a dean (Thomas George) who
has treated the Statistics faculty like dirt
and has shown his contempt for them
because they did not have grants."
Interviewed early this week by the
Report.,, George said that any proposal
to change the structure of an academic
unit within the University is "going to
cause a lot of dlscornfnrt and a negative
response." George continued that
"nothing has been so thoroughly aired
and discussed as the move of the Statistics Department," adding that .. no matter how long this issue is discussed, no
one will ever. agne "
Ralston argued that "there is not one
iota of evidence that there will be resoun:es available to Statistics in the medical
school that were not available in the
FNSM ." He added that "the resoun:es
available to the department in the
FNSM had been systematically withheld
to sap the department's strength."
But Acting Chair of the Statistics
Department and Associate Provost Ken
levy said that "what we (the Faculty
Senate) are talking about is a department
reporting "to a new dean. •• levy added
that "there was no new or compelling
arguments presented at the FIICillty
Senate meeting to address the proposed
move of the Statistics Department."
And in direct response to the commeats made by Ralston. Levy said that
be bu been directly involved in nqotiations with the Statistics Department.
while Ralston wu not a participant.

"If a hazing situation arises. the University deals with it as soon as the facts

The definition of ".hazing" is somewhat less coherent. according to Rosachi .. It involves anything someone does
that"s not necessary for thl pledging process," Rosachi says. "Technically. wearing pledge pins and even playing football
with initiates constitutes hazing."

says. "Hazing is no longer the funny joke
of "Hey,look at the prank I played on the

Cindy Repicci. former vice president
of IGC, lists several Greek activities barring alcohol: "Sororities have instigated ·
a "Dry Rush' program, allowing no alcohol in recruiting pledges. 'We also held

Altbougb Greeks have not stopped
having house parties, "'they are defmitely
more controlled. because ·we've stopped
advertising them," Repicci explains.
"You don' see quite u many posters
in the hallways bragging about the
number of kegs as you used to."
IGC leaders have also attended meetings with the University Heigbts residents and owners~ who have become
more assertive in lodging complaints
about bouse parties. "John (Rosachi)

Rosachi says. "Now. we're talking like

Several Greek organizations put together a "Mile of Quarters" to raise
mon~y for the University Heigbts Community Center, whic:b suffered fire damage last month. "The entire Pan-Hellenic
panel (was) lined up between the South

Karen Devlin, president of Alpha Phi,
who helped organize the event.
Davis, whose sorority also participated in last Saturday's fundraiser. was
disappointed at the large number of
Greek clubs that did not show up. "We
were practically the only ones there."
Davis contends. "I dido' see a single fraternity there. I ran into a few of the guys
l.a ter at AKA's cultural event. and said,
"Where the heck wer:e you guys?" "
AK.A held their third annual cultural
program last Saturday night., "free and
open to the community," according to
Burgos. "The event featured lots of food
and non-alcoholic beverages, songs,
African dances and numerous shows."
Both Davis and Burgos maintain that
their sororities arc "non-hazing, strong
community service organizations ."
Saturday's cultural event "'was our way
of giving back something to the public,"
Burgos says. " All of our projects result in
proceeds that go to some important charity or other ...
ZPB is currently involved -wi.th three

are to make gains in leadership roles , speakers said at a symposium
held at UB last weekend .
Approximately 300 women gathered
in Knox Hall for the symposium on
Opportunities, Choiees and Strategies,
"'designed to examine the nature and
scope of leade,.hip issues affecting

careers

Looking to increase leade,.hip effectiveness and to stimulate future leadership. the day-long symposium was highlighted by'semina"' on achieving success.

.. Today is about changing tomorrow, ..
said Shirley Joseph, executive director of
the Erie County Commission on tbe Sta-

tus of Women, speaking to
future women leade~ from

and

tHe- Buffalo

area.
Under the t heme of mastering change.
a panel from SUNY College at Brockport presented a report on the campus
climate for women on the Brockpon
campus.
"The report is four years' worth of
extensive and expensive work.,.. said
Marion Schranl&lt;, assistant vice president
foe student affai"' at -Brockport. "The
findings are significant and have transference value on other campuses."
According to Schrank and Beth Vanfossen, associate dean of the School of
Lelte"' and Sciences al Brockport, the
research indicated that there is a lack of
women role models, leadership development and pressure to excel.
.. These m.icro inequities are more subtle (now) than in the past," Schrank said ,
"but they are still there."
The Standing CoiiUJ!illee on Women's
Issues at Brockport bas sought to alleviate:, if not eliminate, what they found
to be the greatest concerns of the students. In addition to a lack of women
role models, women 's safety an"d sexuaJ
harassment ranked among the top con-

cems, according to both speake"'.
Results of a student survey of the
campus climate showed that two and a
balf times as many freshman women as
freshman men indicaud that they had
never contributed to class discussions of

Also, twice as many males as females
gain leadenbip experience in campus
activities.

Pearson, who is president of Meristem, ilhisirated the role- of women as
leade"' in today's society by explaining
that each woman " holds a piece in the
world's great puzzle. Each one of us hi.$
onctpiece of that puzzle," she said. "The
second objective is to fmd our own identity. It is revealed in each one of uS: in the
journey we take or don' take."
While many aspects of the symposium
pu,.ued topics that represented future
, changes in leadership, "'Learning to Love

Provost Judith Albino, llighlighted the
achievements and examples of current
women lcade~ in the: Buffalo area.

nder the category of the social climate, the survey showed that 90

Soccer 'super bowl': '94 matches could be held at UB
By DEBBIE JAKALA
Reporter Staff

A

s the World University Games
near, Buffalo is eyeing yet
another international sporting
event to add to its resume of

.
"firsts."
The World Cup '94 Organizing Committee toured Buffalo earlier thia weelr.·to
view and inspect the feasibility of Buffalo
being one of the eight to ten locations
that will he chosen to host the World
Cup Soceer Tournament.
The World Cup·- SO&lt;X!Cr's ve,.ion of
the Super Bowl - will be ·held in the
United States for the . fi"t time-in the
tournament's history in 1994 and Buffalo
is one of 22 American cities vying to host
the event.
Other cities p=uing a venue selection
include Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
.Kansas City, Los Angeles and Dallas.

Buffalo is the 15th city the committee has
visited since it began inspecting the possible sites in late January.
· The venue selection proces3 requires
that each interested community submit
written bid documents by Dec. 14, 1990.
According to Rey Post, organizing
committee: comultant, the decision as to
whether or not Buffalo will be awarded a
venue will be made no earlier than June
1991.
The event will run from mid-June to
mid-July and will include 50 matches
and 24 national teams. UB officials say
the expansion of UB Stadium will be
completed by 1994, which put£ UB in
line ro host a minimum of1three and a
maximum of aix matchesJturing the preliminaries and the round of 16 competition, spread over a two-week period.
Responsible for the venue selection
process, the organizing committee said it
will take many aspecU into consideration

when making its decision. Buffalo's ability to host the World Unive,.ity Games
will weigh in the city's favor, according
to the committee's vice president, Ross

Berlin.
"The ability of a community to host
the World Cup depend s on the experience, the volunteerism .. . . For Buffalo,
the World Games are a dress rehearsal,"
Berlin said.
·"A number of things are taken into
consideration," added Post. "A city
needs a consolidated community and the
fact that (the Buffalo community) is
happy to have the World Games bodes
well for Buffalo."
Committee membe" said Los Angeles
- site of the 1984 Summer Olympics is representative of the waY. an event of
this swore should be handled.
Min L.A. there was a sense of community," committee consultant Tom .Kemp
explained.

The committee cited many examples
of the ..enormous economic impact" the
"largest single sports spectacle next to
the Olympics" could have on the Buffalo
area. Nearly 50 pe rcent of tbe people
who come to watch the games come from
more than 160 countries. The 1986
World Cup held in Mexico drew several
million people, the commillee said in a
prepared statement.
It i5 expected that the 1994 World Cup
will draw a record number of people.
Counting in Buffalo's favor is its proximity lO Canada.
Population and geography are the
fourth and ftfth of the top eigbt criteria
that the committee will base its final
decision on. The remaining items lilted
in order of importance are: the stadium,
civic and government aupport, IIOCCCr
interest, a&gt;mmun.ity inf~tructwe. ability to operate the national brolldc:lst-c:enter and miscellaneous lepl criteria. 0

Match Day:

T

hey streamed through the doors

ancient Hebrews making their
way through the parted waters
of the Red Sea.
Some bad bottles of champagne, others had babies and spouses. They were all
buddies who had just completed four
years of training in quest of becoming
fme physicians. And now they were
about to embark on another journey.
March 21 was Match Day, the annual
event held at medical schools across the
country where fourth-year students find
out where they11 spend their residencies.
The U B students bad to wait through
the announcements - yearbooks, graduation speaker. and instructions on bow
to sign the alumni scroll - before they
would get those coveted envelopes teUing
them where they would be going.
Then they waited some more as Dennis Nadler, associate dean for curricular
and academic affairs for the medical
school and director of the office of medical education, reported on the Match
Day statistics . The tension wa.s
mounting.
•
There were 141 students who participated in this year's match, said Nadler.
It was the best year since 1979, when
Nadler ftrst began keeping records. This
year 67 percent of the students got tbeir
first choice, up 2 percent from last year,
said Nadler. And another record was
broken with a whopping g9 perceat of
the students getting one of their top three
choices.
The applause thundered through the
auditorium as the students realilCd just
how good a class they were.

T

here are &amp;tudenta goinl to some of
the best and moot bigbJy competitive

But Nadler bad to make the students

the envelopes that would teU them of

· Then. one by one. they came up, some
with trepidation, but many with beaming
srrt1les splashed across their f!"'CS, to get
the sacred envelopes.
Cheers broke out and champagne
corks flew through the air. There were
plenty of hugs, smiles, and celebrations
this day.
"I got my first choice - Syracuse, "
said Anthony Navone, a medical stu·
dent, who added that "after five years

Heidi DeBiocl&lt;, another student, who

Nadler summed it up: "We have a

The current fandanso on the proposed
SUNY parking fee would be amusing if it d id
not reflect so much di.sboneaty on all sides.
Fint the state proposes to levy a '"parking f~ "
on all -users" of the campus, regardless of
whether or not they use a parking spot or evt:o
drive a cu. Thert is no apparent intention to
earmark this money for tbe improvement of
vehicular transponatioo on SUNY campuses ,
yet the state defends tbe proposal on tbe
pounds that parking lou must be built and
maintained , and $11 a month is a fair charge
for such facilities. One awaits breathlessly the
next implementation of this concept, probably
a rental charge for faculty and staff offiCeS.
This is of course a thinly disguised pay cut for
employees and a generaliz.cd f~ increase for
ltudents, but tbe state for obvious reasons
finds it politic to invent the fiction of a user
fee.
Not to be outdone in the an of Newspeak.
UUP assen.s tbat '"the union is under no
obligation to negoti.k with respect to parking
facilities presently provided without charge."
[The quotation is from the: March 1990 issue
of the UUP howe organ, 1M Voin. but it has
been repeated often , including by chapter
officen on this campus.) To help evaluate th is
claim, I present below pertinent language fr om
para.graph 38.3 of UUP 's Agreement with the
state. {Note that the mention to a
Memorartdum of Understanding is a reference
to certain parking facilities in Albany and is
not relevant here .)
The sta tus qu o will be maintained for
parking facilities presently pro vided
without charge: and np existing charge
(or park.ing facilities shall be increased

UUP, of course, has every right lo refuse to
agree to a new or incru.sed parking fee , and in
the present case should do so in terms less
than polite, but it chooses instead a .. no

the plainest languqe ever found in a collectlvt:

exaggeration to assert that the pro-democracy
movement last spring and summer in Chin a
was substantially inspired by American
idealism. Just look at the Goddess of
Democracy statue (the Chinese translatio n of
the Statue of Liberty is Goddess of Libeny or

The 1989 Tiananmen demonstration i.s very

the Gang of Fo ur. Without contacU with the
West 10 the past decade since Mao's death, the

been a pro-democracy one, and the students
may not have been inspired to build a goddess
of democracy. They might have been co ntent
with a communist government !ed by
enlightened and benevolent leaders .
Imagine . If all American universities,
because they are so moraJi y indignant with t he

Professor Ralston poinu out that '"if the:

EDITOR:
I read Professor Anthony Ralston 's
'"'viewpoint" on UB's China Program in the
March 22 R~porur. White I agree with
Professor Ralston that whether to suspend o r
to continue UB's China Program presently is a
moraJ issue for the university, I totally
disagree with hi.s very passive attitude and
approach for dealing with the moral issue.
Profeuor Ralston's tack is wmewtw. like that

not play with you. 'There is nothing wrong

approaches we shoukl take with reprd to

very moral policy (let's foCJC1 about academic

Librarian sees cautious kingdom waiting for progressive change
Dorothy Woodson. UB assoctate
librarian . is c urrently in Swaziland. the
recipient of an American library
Association / U.S. Information Agency
fellowshi p. In the following article.
Woodson describes the allure of that
far -oH land

spread - not much of this is dependable
and, for the most pan, these material gains,
unimportant though some of them may
be, elude the bulk of the population
which appean now, 20 yean after
independence, to be more impoverished,
and clearly more un· (or' under)
employed. And how tragic that in a
country which does not have to struggle
as so many other countries must, with
the vqaries of nature or war, that the life
expectancy for males is only 46 years,
and the infant mortality rate is in the
very highest category on the continent, if
not in the world.

By DOROTHY C. WOODSON

eturning to the tin y Kingdom
of Swaziland after a 16-year
absence bas been a bittersweet
experience. I had forgotten
bow beautiful and haunting this
mountainous country i.s. The now-fading
summer is turning tbe mountains and
steep river gorges from vibrant green to
deep blue and purple. These mountains,
which an: part of the Drakemburg,
continue on into South Africa .. and
lesotho, and are among the oldest in the
world . Mt. Ngwenya, near the Transvaal
border, is the site of the world's earliest
iron ore mine.
It was reassuring

R

L

ast week, a woman who bas been
married to her second husband for
ten yean, was ordered by a chief, under
customary law, to leave him and their
small children and t o to ber tint
husband's kraal (compound) for two
years, to mourn bis death. This. case
(which is relievedly now in civil court)
underscores the awful lot of many Swazi
women, particularly those who, out of
sbeer ignorance, lrwTy under customary
law, forfeiting their rights. The paradox
here is that in a cottntry where so many
women have so few opportunities, the
University bas as its chancellor, a highlyrespected scientist and educator, Dr.
Lydia Makhubu, who must be one of the
few, if not the only, female chancellor in
Africa.
Women farm workcn and office
workers routinely earn significantly less
than their male counterparts. It is truly a
sobering sight to sec these unskilled
women in the pineapple fields - covered
from head to foot in thick rubber
protective garments - laboring in 90
degree Cemperatures, for leu than $2 a
day. (Bread costs 40 centa; milk about

to return here and

ftnd locals still debating whether Swaziland was indeed the
setting for H. Rider
Haggard's King Sol~r
mon 's Mines. There's
no disputing that
Dorothy
Sheba's Breasts, a
Woodson
prominent feature on
the landscape, still
acts as a beacon to travellers. (Sitting
atop the world's oldest bedrock, the
University, curiously, has neither a ..

geology nor an archaeology department.)
The mountains are of great symbolic
importance to the nation as well, for they
are the burial place of the Swazi kings.
The present ICing, Mswati Ill, who
recently t~ 21, is. not c;arning k1Jdos
with his people. In a word, be's reactive.
But giving him the benefit of the doubt,
be bas bad a hard act to follow. His
father, the late Sobbuza
·WU king
from the age of I (1899) ttntil 1982 - a
remarkable reign, during a remarkable
period historically. He saw (or would '
have seen, had be been able to remember
things from birth) the loss of huge
portions of his lands to the British, to the
South Africans, and to the Portuguese,
mostly 'l'lithout consultation with the
Swazi' people.
He brought the country to indepen·
dence in 1968, while spending the better
part of 60 years fighting against repeated
threats of incorporation into South
Africa, which borden Swaziland on the
north, west aDd south. Under J ess able
leadership, Swaziland might euily have
become another South African homeland.
Though bleucd by an accident of
8"01J'aphy with some of Africa's most
fertile land, the rich qricultunll ~ in
the middle 'Vdd of the COUDtry,.wbile llill
quite proclucti\le, are now fri&amp;bl=ially

The British presence, bard not to

§ yet the lad lepcy of nearly a century of
~

occupation lives on. Given the choice of

dissected by severe erosion which has
turned portions of the landscape into
scenes of feanome beauty. This erosion,
barely noticeable 16 years ago, appears
to this ex-geographer anyway, to bode ill
for the future.

sections of the country now "protected"
u wildlife or nature preoervea, and one
of 1beoe in particular - Mkhaya, where
the rhino il beina protccted - b.u to be
o ne of the ftnest in Africa. While there
are many outward signs of ~progress"­
some more , roads . arc tarred, screens
(mercifully) ·are commonplace, tele·
pbones and electricity are more wido-

employeu, or their preaent South
African employers (whom the British
sold out to), few Swazis would opt to
change.
With all the current jubilation and
promise of progressive change in South
Africa, this cautious JUnadom under·
stand ably waitl with some trepidatioa to
sec the effect this will have at home. Even
now, comparable professional pocilions
for blacb in South Africa pay at leut
twice u much u in Swaziland; and the
alluriJII!y high aalariea in the South
African bomelaodl are nOUJb to teat
anyone's morala. It would fCCIIl that
should the long-hoped-for changes in
South Africa occur swiftly, that

�Dance 'Sculpture'
Choreographer molds the art of movement:
opera is Tressa Gorman's latest challenge

take m.ovemeot and try to sculpt it

into a living. breathing piece,

while working with space. time
and force to create a moving picture." said Tressa Gorman , describing
her job as a cho reographer ... It is so mething that I don '1. consider work ...

Go rman is currently choreographing
several dance numbers in The Grea ter

Buffal o Opera Com pany's productions
of Pietro Mascagni's tragedy .. Cavalleria
Rusticana .. an d Leoncavallo's .. 1 Pagliacci. .. The shows, su ng in Italian with

English subtitles will be performed on
Ap ril 7 and 8, bringing Opera Week in
Western -New York to a close.
Although she now spend s much of her
time in the dance studio , Gorm a n began
her ca.reer at U B ten years ago when she
was appoi nted to the Athletics Departmen t , then known as the Department of
Recrea t1 o n. S he became involved in th e
De partmen t of Theatre and Dance after
she ex pressed interest to Linda Swim·
uch . a da nce instructor a nd director of
the Zodi ~ uc , UB's dance co mpan y.

.. Aft c~ Linda an d I talked. I was
offe red a pos ition teaching and chorecr
graphi ng modem dan ce in the depart·
ment , as well as in Zodiaque ... Gorman
said . Gorman went o n to become ass1s·
ta nt director of the Zodiaque, in additi on
to teaching beginning dance in the

Department of Ath letics.
Growing up in West Virgi ni a, Gorman

says she had always been physically
active. Yet she calls herself a "late bloome r dance r"' because she didn't begin to
dance until she attended West Virginia
U niversity, where she obtained a bachelor 's and master 's degree in physical educatio n a nd dance.
She attributes her love fo r dance to her
parents. " I was lucky to have parents
with a great love for music," s he said .

.. That helped push me int o that field .
There was always so mething I wanted to
express, and it came out through dance."
· Despite her great love for dance .

Go rman has " hung up her dancing
shoes, .. devo ling most of her time to

teaching and choreographing. "I stopped
dancing when it became worrisome , sud -

denly beco'!'ing more like work." she

dancing myself."

G

orman sees choreography as the ,
creative side of d a nce . .. It involves
choosing the movements, steps, music,
and intent of the piece," Gorman

o bserved. " A choreographer is more like
a writer. You decide what goes into your
piece . When yo u'n: a dancer, you're
more like the secretary. You 're doing
what you've been assigned.

"What I enjoy most is the freedom I
have , .. she related . "From the creative

standpoint I have lots of options. Out of
the si x or seven of us who do the choreo-

graphing for Zodiaque, we have the freedom to c hoose a nd experiment with any
ki nd of mus ic a nd move ment we like,
which ma.kes it very enjoyable."
Sometimes. Gorman is confro nted
with so me c hallenges both as a teacher

a nd a choreographer. "The hardest th ing
to d o, .. Gorman pointed out, .. is to coach
the st udent s to incorporate some kind of
co mp assion. o r Perso nal emotio n into
th eir move ments .
"Some of the students I work with ,

though talented. arc still young. They
fi nd it easier to dance with their a rms
and legs , as opposed to their bodies and
mind s."

The dancer who "does the mental
wo rk " behi nd his or her movements,
acco rding to Gorman , is co nsidered to be
a good dancer . .. That's when it's neat ...
she remarked . "That's also o ne thing
c horeogra phe rs can't d o ...
In Gorman's view, dance, o r e motionalself~x press ion through moveme nt
is a very distinctive art that easily distin~
guis hes itself fr o m other forms of the
arts . ..Unlike paicting o r sculpture ,
dance has a constant movement, .. she

General Education curriculum passes in Assembly, 31-1
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Reporter Staff

T

be Undergraduate College
General Assembly formally
passed the new General Education curriculum last week, after
two lengthy meetings and much discussion and deliberation. The new G ED
program passed handily in the Assembly
31-1 with one abstention. The meetings
took place· in the Talbert Senate
Chamber.
Barbara Bono of English introduced
the formal resolution for passing the .new
curriculum. She noted that there had
peen "a process of extended Universitywide consultation with department
beads, faculty and students. •
As a result or this consuiWion process, Bono told the assembly that there
were three groups of key revisions. They
are:
• Additionallanpaae for future C?nlultation aJilbill':miemlien of the' Univer-

sity community.
• Provisions for students who are

pursuing double degrees, joint/ double
majors and minors. Through student
hearings on the proposal, "the UGC
became aware o f 1hese issues,"' Bono
said .

Students in the above programs will be
regarded by the UGC as "professional"
students and will be exempt from the
requirements of the new General Education curriculum. In addition, Bono said

that Arts and Sciences students will be
exempt from General Education (GED)
requirements in each "knowledge" area
in which they complete a major or a
minor degree;
• 'fhe UGC bu reduced the number
of~uired credit hours for the new curriculum. " Instead of 64 credit hours originally proposed, the load bu been lightened by 12 credit hours and now totals
52 credit hours," Bono said. The credit
load wu reduced, added Bono, because
it allows .for more flexiblity for the

students.
A significant revision to the original
proposal was to change the .. freshman

seminar" from "required " to "highly
recommended" status . Bo no noted that
.. any freshman seminar with credit will ,

de facto , also appl y for credit to fulfill a
GED requirement. " She added that the
.. senior integrative"' course will also be

Thomas Barry of Clas•ics argued that
"anything that is not required of students
will not be treated serioll!ly." He added
that "within a few yean, the freshman
seminar will whither away even though a
number of us think these seminars are a
vital and cri tical component of the new

G ED program." An amendment was
proposed to make the freshman seminar

"highly recommended" instead of being

a requirement. This was carried by the

required . Although the senior integrative
course is no t yet a requirement , Bono

assembly.

said that " the UGC very much values the
development of tbis course."'

T

be assembly also addressed the issue
of transfer students.

..They will

ultimately be included in the new G ED
requirements but for the time being will
only be subject to the present UGC
requirements," Bono said .
The UGC's proposal not to require the

freshman seminar sparked so me concern

from among a number of assembly
memben.

On the issue of the senior integrative
course, Frederic Fleron, associate vice:

provost for undergraduate education,
noted that the elimination of a "capstone" course "is a categoriCal decision

by the UGC curriculum committee
because it truncates and decapitates the
GED program. " Fleron added that~it's a
seriow blunder to eliminate this course
from the program."
Fleron 's motion to nialce the senior
integrative course a requirement wu
defeated 16-14.

How high should an individual's cho·
lesterol level be7
"For a typical UB student who goes to
a screening and finds his cholesterol level
is 220 or more, there is no need to panic
but he should see the physician to check
the HDL and LDL levels," Yeagle said .
.. Although initial screenings are not
always accurate , you know you have: a
big problem i.f your level is 300 or above.

nc quancr of the U.S . po pulation 1s at ri sk of heart
disease because of high
serum cholesterol, .. said Dr
Philip Yeagle, associate professor of
B•ochemistry . .. That 's wh y there is such
growing concern over cholesterol in th is
co untry toda y. Many people arc aware
o f the problem but few peo ple know
what t o do about it. ..
Yeagk hopes that his new book will
help to explain cholesterol •n term s that
the averare person can understand.
UntkTSiandmg Your CholtJterol. to be
published in the sp.ing b y Academic
Press, describes what cholesterol IS, how
11 affects the bod y and what the individ·
ual can do to prevent the ris k o f hean
d1sease .
"" As with man y med1caJ 1ssues today ,
the basic research that is done and the:
presentation of that info rmation to the
lay population is often inadequate and
very difficult to understand, " Yeagle
explained ... What I hope to do as to clarLf y some of the issues.
"Cholesterol is a type of fat that IS
basic for cell development, .. he said . .. It is
a greasy white substance that does not
d1ssolve in the btood. Most of the choles·
1erol found in the blood is what the bod y
has manufactured. But if additional
amounts arc consumed in the diet and if
the level is coruistently high, it can restnct the blood now which could lead to
atherosclerosis. hardening o f the
aneries...
.
In his book. Yeagle explains that cholesterol, which is manufactured by the
liver, is carried through the blood by velucles called serum lipoprotein. Two of the
more common vehicles arc HDL and
LDL which are often tenned "good" and
"bad " cholesterol. HDL (good) carries
mostly protein through the body while
LDL (bad) -carries mostly cho l ~terol.
An excessive build-up of LDL leads to
fatty deposits in an artery which sh uts off
blood now.
.. This is what happens when a person
has a heart attack: he explained. "The
coronary artery is cut off so the tissue
that the artery was feeding is starved. A
heart attack is the death of at least a portion of the heart m~Uele . If blood is cut
off from an artery that goes to the brain.
a stroke can occur ...

F

or lowering risk of heart disease and
stroke, Yeagle say., the National
Institutes of Health recommends diet
modification and cutting down on saturated fats which contribute to the LDL
level. But be warns that not all foods that
are advertised as cholesterol-free are

"When going shopping
you should look for
overall fat, especially
saturated fat. This has
the most profound
effect on serum cholesterol. Buy skim milk
instead of whole milk,
cut down on meat arilJ
stay away from tropical oils."
- PHILIP YEAGLE
healthy for you and no t all ..scientific"
studies about such food s are accurate.
.. There was a study done recently by
Harvard Universit y on oat bran . It sa.d
that oat bran had no effect o n serum cholesterol. Now all the people who buy oat
bran arc wondering what to do, because:
last year they were told that it was good
for them." he noted .
.. In fact , the study was rather poor.
The people or subjects used were not
only small in number but were people
whom you would least expect to benefit
from any dietary modification.
.. But the lay population isn't aware of
this. All they see is Tom Brokaw on the
evening news reading the press release
that came from Harvard, when. in fact ,
the conclusion that was drawn bas very
little applicability.·
For this reason Yeagle said he scrutinized all the medical literature on the
studies done and wrote an entire chapter
dealing with oat bran and its effect on
cholesterol as well as a chapter on how to
build a healthy diet.
How to choose the right food can be a
problem for most people. who have tittle
unde111tanding of product labeling. From
cooking oils to panca.kc mix. there is a
wide range of products that entice the
consumer with lAbels that say "no cholesterol." Even the Keebler elves boast of
low cholesterol peanut butter cookies.
"When going shopping you should
look for low overall fat, espcciaUy saturated fat," Yeagle oaid. "This has the
most profound effect on serum cholesterol. A label might say cholesterol-free.
This is easily ..:bieVed by eliminating all
animal products. But cutting down on
saturated fat is .more important. Buy
skim milk instead of ..-hole milk, cut
down on meat and stay away from tropical oils such u palm oil and coconut oil.

If it 1 ~. you need to sec a doctor nght
away
Yeagle's book whic h culm inates 12
years of research, wi ll be on book shelves
this spring and can be a helpful guide for
the: lay pe rso n to better unde~tand
cho lestero l.
.. There reall y is a cho lestero l problem
in the country today." he concludes ... It 's
not just med ia hype . High cholestero l
can kill. .. One-quarter o f th e population

" Knox 's enviable com mand of lan guage and his showmanship drew s tu ~

He was a tourist site for cultivated trav-

N uJand claimed tbe anatomist was

nntrary to Ralston's claim th ai 1hc
department will .. suffer-If tt 1S tr ans·
ferred to the SM BS . Levy stated that
.. the Depan.ment will have a much more
productive future in the S MBS." .. I have
no evide nce: that anyone in the Depanment is against the pr opos~ move ,..
Levy stated . Ralsto n argued that the Statistics faculty had approved the Depart·
ment 's move because .. har assment and
coe rcio n had taken their toll, because of
the lack of support from their colleagues
in the FNS M. a nd because the Universit y administration had swee tened the
offer to move to the SMBS."
Levy no ted that th ose pers o ns
o pposed to the Depanmcnt's move
"have not proposed to have a ny addi·
tiona! material means of support provided
for Statistics." He concluded that .. the
Faculty Senate did not recommend anythins positive in terms of the Statistics
issue." adding that "I do oot l&lt;now if the
Faculty Senate has tbe authority to allow
a department to move within the
Univer1ity."
What is to happeo next? "The Prc&gt;vost's Office is awaiting word from the
chair of the Faculty Senate on tbe vote."
said Levy. adding that "once we receive
the documenu from the Faculty Senate,
Provost William Greiner will then make
a recommendation to President Sample."
According to Williatn Miller, chair of
the Faculty Senate. Ihe vote on the Statistics issue wu close and ~ indicates

the Senate's co nce rn atJo ut thts •ss ue. ..
He added that the Faculty Senate docs
not have the a uth ori ty to a pprove
department transfers: it can only adv tse
the Un1verity ad mmistration on such
matter s.
Of equal co ncern to Miller ts the iss ue
of facu lt y governance, specificall y how
the Statis tics iss ue was handled by both
the administration and the facult y ... A
lot of people are upset over the way th e
Statistics iss ue was handled and man y of
them have long memories ... Miller said. He
added that the Statistics Department
"has had a lo ng and sad history with no
support from the administration and
that neglect of Statis tics has gone from
benign to malignant. ..
For his part. Ralston remains skeptt·
cal. .. Despite the provost 's frequent
state ments that be would like the
informed input of the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee (FSEC) and the
Senate, every effort was made to keep
the Statistics issue from ever co ming
before tbe senate."
AU parties involved believe that Statistics wiU be transferred.
"Ultimately the department will be
transferred." Miller said.
Levy added thai "I don' think a vole
by Ihe Faculty Senate would be grounds
for the provost to see the situation in anY
diffen:ot light."
And Ralston said that "the vote wu a
charade. There were two reasons to vote
against the departmeot"s move: ii's a
dumb idea and a number of senators are
sufficiently angry about the way the issue
wu handled."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

'gap' in 11~~~~~ insurance

By DAVID HIMMELGREEN and ROBERTO M. BENEDITO

UB international student gets the semester bill for
tuition and fees. He scans the list of charges and
·cringes when he comes to "health insurance." Talking
to friends, he discovers that international students
pay almost twice as much ($235 per year for domestic
students; $426 for international) for their
health insurance. He grits his teeth and
grudgingly pays the bill.

Parking fees:
unfair item
in budget?
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Reporter StaH 1

T

he $132 annual parking fee
proposed by SUNY Chancellor
D. Bruce Johnstone isnl winning any popularity contest on
campus. Students and union representatives ha.Je voc iferousl y stated their
opposition.
UB officials arc careful to poin t out,
however, that they didn't raise the notion
of the parking fee. "The Division of the
Budget (DOB) put this revenue item in
our budget and we're si mply reacting to
that fact," Clifford B. Wilson; associate
vice president for human resources, said
Tuesday.
Wilson explained that the 1989-90
SUNY budget contained a revenue item
of $3 million that must be specifically
raised from parking fees. Moreover, the
1990-91 proposed executive budget for
SUNY increases that amount to S4 mil.
lion, he said.
"It is my understanding that the Division of the Budget has told SUNY that
they intend to continue to raise that
revenue item annually until it approxi~
mates the cost of operating parking at
SUNY campuses," Wilson noted.
In Wil!on's view, SUNY hu three
choices: "One is to argue to the DOB that
that's an unfair item to have in the
budget. Some of that arguing has gone
on without much sucec:ss.
"The second option would be to
simply absorb the increasing amount
each year out of the operating budget.
That's obviously not a good eboice at a
time when we're very lightly budgeted.
"The third possibility is to take the
steps necessary to coUeet tbe parkiog fee
revenue, and that's really going on n.o w.
SUNY is now negotiating with the
unions, and that's something n:quin:d by
contract."
According to Tom Corigliano, vice
president for professionals for United
University Professio111 (UUP), "SUNYt'S
·proposed parkiog fee bas nothina to do
with parting." Instead, be said, "tJie.proposed fee is really a 1M or a · ~ue
seam' to raiJe.moncy." Corigliano added

Why is it that UB's foreign students
pay more fo r health insurance than do
domestic students? What an: they getting
for their money? And bow is the policy
for health insuranee formulated?
These questions an: being asked by
some of the 1,540 international UB students who an: covered by the SUNY
health insurance plan.
One major difference between UB's
domestic and international policy is that
the domestic policy is determined at the
University, while the international is a
SUNY-wide mandated policy generated
with SU~Y's 64 campuses in mind, said
Joseph Williams, director for international education services at UB.
Dennis Black, associate vice provost
for student.alfairs and a member of UB's
health advisory committee, added that in
1976 the policy at SUNY Central was tp
allow certain campuses, including UB. to
individually tailor their own insurance
plans to meet the needs of their students.
The individualization policy lasted for
abO!Jl 10 years. Then in !he mid-1980s
SUJ\IY decided to centraJi'le the international policy, said Bt.l:k.
Central~011-a116wed SUNY to enact
a se t of gt:udehnes that would ensun: that
all of its foreign studcnu wen: adequately insured for accident and sickness. This was especiall.l"important in
lighr of the rising costs orhealth can:.

A

nother benefit of centralization is
the creation of a larger insurance
pool, which according to Black, allows
smaller campuses with smaller international student populations to tak e
advantage of group rates.
I! 's much mon: difficulr for campuses
such as Potsdam or Oswego, when: then:
are few international students. to individualiu a plan at a reasonable rate. Williams added.
According to the Nation al Association
for Foreign Student Affairs, mon: than
340,000 international students attend
U.S. colleges and unive.-.ities.
The SUNY international insurance
poliey is one of the broadest programs in
the country, said Bill Scott Jr., servicing
broker for the program.
Scott, who works for Henry Holland
Inc., in Buffalo, and n:pn:sents the
insurer, Equitable Life Assurance
Society of the United States, said the

existing conditions, maintains a high lia, bility for claims and just r=ntly added a
n&lt;Hieductible feature (no matter wben:
the student goes for health can:) to the
polity.
Additionally, the SUNY international
policy covers medical evacuatioQ and
repatriation if anything should happen
to the student, explained Scott.
"Lots of other schooiJ are paying sij!nificantly mon: for Jess ·coverage," SBld
Scott.
But then: an: also some problems with
centralization, noted WilliaMs and
Black.
"When you fry to lump everything
together in one systematic program then
you create a lot of biireaueracy. Those
are tough programs to administer
equitably," said Williams . .
Black added that even when you have
the domestic plan localized and the
international plan eentraliud, problems
of communication and education can
arise.
Information about specifics of the
plans _and the types of forms to use can
be Cl&gt;nfusing. This makes it difficult for
the studen!J and the insurance advisors.
The work of the health insurance office is
doubled with two different plans that an:
administered in two different places,
Black commented .

U

nder the international health insurance plan, students from all the
SUNY campuses pay the same pn:lnium
per year. They can also opt to choose
another plan so long as it provides similar coverage. Most of the international
students who attend UB buy the SUNY
insurance policy.
Because UB has the greatest number
of foreign students in the SU,NY system
and because health can: costs an: generally lower in Western New York than in
places like New York City and Long
Island, some would argue that studenu
from U B an: footing the bill for the
SUNY-wide plan.
"I can't say that is so," said Black.
"Just because the costs an: perhaps less
here than they an: in New York City, it
doesn't mean that our international students don't go to New York City and get
sick. And it doesn't mean that they don't
get sick in expensive cities overseas ... he:
added.
He also explained that given the large
number of foreign students coming to
UB each year, the Unive.-.ity as a whole
may be making a disproportionate
number of claims compared to the n:st
of SUNY's international st udent

~It may be true that U B is being
charged disproportionately for the plan,
acknowledged Scott. But he added that
' all the studen!J benefit from a large insurance pool that reduces the overall cost
of insurance.

He added that UB could do it again

So, what an: some of the specific differences between UB's domestic insurance plan, at $235 per year, and SUNY's
international student plan, which costs

A feast of new music:

disclaimer in The New
Yorker's calendar of musical events, "'lead notor·

The administrative coup of the eighth
North American New Music-Festival is
that it has gathered musicians and composers from all over the world to participat~ in a week of new music that will

"The festival is

al ' number of pianos and a synthetic
forest (more about these later), at seven
different locations.
The coup is especially significant as
the festival, which UB wiU present in
coopeJI!fion with HaUwails for a week
begimng March 31 , may be the last of its
kind: rising travel expenses make it
increasingly difficult to maintain the festival's ~ in\em&amp;tional range. For ~ight

spring celebration of new music.
"This year, I did it by networking,"
said percussionist Jan Williams, the festival's c&lt;Hiirector and UB professor of
music. "You can't offer all these musicians much money, but what yotfcan do
is get them other dates through the music
network. Once they had our dates confirmed, they \¥trt able to get four or five
other dates." Williams "networks" by
spreading the word of his arrivals
throughout the United States and
Canad a.
The sheer range of the festival startles
even those for whom music is a way of
life. " People always ask, 'what's the focus
• this year?' " says Jan Williams.
"But altho,ugh we often focus on one
or two composers, we're not interested in

an overall focus on a certain school or
style." •
The festival is, says Williams, "a mirror of whatls going on in new music. We
define 'new music' very broadly. W,e try
to present a wide spectrum of what's
going on, rather than aligning ourselves
to a particular school If we had to call
this music anything, it would be 'serious'
rather than jazz or pop."
Do.nald Metz, the festival's administrative director, defines the music more
succinctly: "They don't play it on the
radio." This is not because the festival
will limit itself to the dissonant chords
too often identified with new music.
Featuring as it does over 130 works,
from Andre Previn to Prokofiev, the festival is, says Metz, "as diverse as any in
the world." Still, one has to admit that a
synthetic forest, like the one built for the
festival by the Canadian artist Laura
Kikauka as a venue for a cacophony of
the sighu and sounds of nature crickets, walelfalls, Jireflies - is not easily tranaf~ to r.dio. -Nor are radio
stations in the habit of broadcasting
silence.

three-&lt;:onoert recital of the work of La
Monte Young, the pioneer of minimalism and one of the most influential composers of the latter half of the century.
" Minimalism," says Metz, "is simply a
composition that's based on very simple
principles, and one of those principles is
a rest." A "rest* is that duration of
silence, traditionally brief until composers like La Monte Young and John Cage
began to pay more attention to it, in
which a musician pauses between notes.
"The hardest thing to get people to
understand is that you ploy a rest, you
don't simply rest," Metz says. La Monte
Young's work attempts to get · rid of
extraneous movements - the sound of
two ftogers sliding ocross the strings of a
guitar, for example." M.etz wiU perform

"The moral~. there's no such thing as
silence," added Metz. "John Cage has a

A similar collaboration is behind the
festival 's final concert, which in many
ways promises to be its climax . The versatile Aki Takahashi, a pianist whose
extraordinary gift for virtuoso interpretations has been applauded all over the
wo.rld, will give her rendering of"Beatles'

diverse and innovative as Cage, Mikhasholf and Walter Zimmerman.
" Aki is probably the world 's foremost
contemporary pianist," said Williams.
"All she plays is contemporary music.
She bad the idea that it might be interesting to have contemporary composers

tudents like American Pluralism, according to a report just
released by the American
Pluralism subcommittee. The
overwhelmingly positive student response
to the pilot course has pleased Jack
Meacham, ca&lt;hair of the subcommittee
and course instructor... I'm just thlilled
about the results," Meacham says.
Meacham co-author&lt;:d th e report with
subcommittee ca&lt;hair Elizabeth Kennedy
and member Jeannette Ludwig. The
report is based on two surveys given to
American Pluralism students at the end
of last semester, the End-of-Term
Te acher-Course Evaluation Project
(TCEP) Questionnaire, and · the Subcommittee Evaluation Questionnaire.
The TCEP Questionnaire was handed
out to all live sections during the last
week of the cour.;e. "One of the advantages of this 41-item questionnaire,"
according to the subcommittee repon,
.. is the existerlce of national norms
against which r~sults can be compared ...
The ma1ori!.Y of the questions ask stu dents how ctbsety they feel a panicular
sdltCJllcnt corresponds with one of the
following answers: "almost always, more
than half the time, about half the time.
less than half the time, or never," and
questions are rated on a scale 1 1 .. 5 .. to
" I."
According to the report, the mean
average of student responses to the
statement " What 1 am being asked to
lea rn is important" was a strong ..4.4." A
mean of "4.6" showed that a majority of
stud ents felt the y were ab le to ''bring up
ISS ues .. on Lhcir own. Most students considered the course material "relevant to
real life situa tions (mean=4.5) ... A mean
of "4.2"' evi nced that many students
believe their instructors inspired
"excitement or interest .. in the subj ect
matter.
The report indicated that "other
course-oriented questions yie ld ed re sponses that might s ugg~t some modificatio ns in the course .... Students found
the workload of the cour.;e "slightl y
heavier than most courses (mean=2.8)."
Student satisfaction with the te xts differed between individual classes ..from
2. 7 to 4.0," for an overall mean of "3.4. "

S

The two-page Subcommittee Evaluation Questionnaire was constructed by
the subcommittee to obtain .. more
detailed information than the TCEP was
able to provide, "the report explainc;,d. A
total of 100 students from four of the five
sections answered questions relating to
issues surrounding the course.
Seventy-six percent of the students
surveyed found little or no overlap with
other courses they had taken, according
to the survey results. Many students
·agreed "strongly" (70 percent) or "somewhat" (18 percent) .wben asked if their
instructors "'allowed them to -.. ex-press
their point of view and respected their
o pinion."
A full 83 percent of the students surveyed "would recommend American
Pluralism to feUow students· because of
course content'" or .. because of the
instructor." Little over half (56 percent)
of the students recommended that the
course should be required "of all UB

eath came very close to Randall Adams. The man who
spent ten yean on death row
for the murder of a Texas
police officer, came to UB this weelc to
describe his experiences and discuss the
movie about his life.
Adams, released last year after his
conviction was overturned, is the subject
of Errol Morris' fUm, "The Thin Blue
Line." Adams spoke after the fUm was
shown to a large crowd in O'Brian Hall's
Moot Court on Monday.
The Human Rights Center at the UB
School of !Jaw, through its Working
Group on fbe Death Penalty, invited
Ada'!?' tor weak during Human Rights
Week. AcCording to Craig Mokhibar, a
V~ assistant at the center, Adams'
appearance is part of "an ongoing campaign to show that the death penalty is a
violation of human rights and to prevent
its -use in New York State." /
Adams gave no set lecture, pRferring
to let the audience pry out his thoughts
with questions about his experiences and
"Tbe Thin Blue Line." Several questions
dealt with Adams' observations and
opinions of the American legal system
and tbe death penalty itself.
Greeting a predominantly law student crowd, Adams quipped, "For all of
you who want to be attorneys, I'm probably your ultimate dream in life - I find
a lot of attorneys come out of tbe woodwork to taJlt to me everywhere I go."
His experiences in tbe Texas prison
system, which be c&amp;lls "the worst system
in tbe country," especially in the Eastbam fi!Cility, "tbe wont prison in the
worst a)'ltem in tbe country," gave him
"emotional scan," Adams said.
"Tbe Te:ua prilon aystem, tbe old system, tbe way it wu before 198S when a

that if the fee is implemented, as is scheduled this summer, "SUNY wiU be the
only state liFDcy where employees and
students wiU have to pay to go to work."
Wilson pointed out· that many state
employees do indeed pay for parking,
especially in downtown Albany. These
include some employees of SUNY Central. ~Moreove r, it's pretty common to
have to pay for parking on coUege campuses across the country."
Ken GliF. Undergraduate Student
Association (SA) representative to the
Uoiversity Council, is among those arguing against the proposed parking fee.
"Students arc paying to come to UB and
the feeling among this group of people is
that tbe atate should pay for its fair

CurnoUy, the UUP is in a process of
neaotiation aud arbitration with the state

"Tbe plan for tbe parking fee," said
C::ori&amp;)iuo, "is one which must be

or coUege council." The UU P's plan of
attack, aa:ordin&amp; to CoriaJiaoo, is to get
faculty, staff and students to "persuade
their councils not to approve the parking
plan."
If a particular council does adopt the
proj&gt;oSed fee, CoriaJiaoo says, the issue
would then need to be aettled through a
process of oqotiatioDJ or grievances.
"Basically, tbe parkipg fee represents a
shift from a. normal employer expense
(maintenance) to its employees and studenlll." Corigliano maintained that tbe
fee "will not resnlt in an· increase in the
amount of parking apace on SUNY
campuses and 110 improvement in the
~nten.anCe and upgradina ·or parking
lots."
Tbe UUP likens the parkin&amp; fee to that
of paying for the usc of cerdin {acilities.
"The parkin&amp; fee is not veryrdifferent
from a aituation wbete. a ltuden~ soes
into a clusroom aud hu to pay to oae a
piece of lab equipment. ~
.. - ~~oos · ~ bein&amp; ~ u ~to. ~ow

SUNY will collect the proposed fee.
GliF sai&lt;! a number of students and even
some members of UB's University Council arc wondering whether dormitory
students will be charged to park their
can on the campus. Similar questions
arc being asked in connection with parttime students, staff and faculty.
"There is-something wrong with charging the same fee for all groups," said
Gage, "when one group (faculty) has
privileged parking."
Concerns have also been raised as to
bow some students wiU be able to pay tbe
proposed fee. ~uB is largely a commuter
campus," said Gage, adding that "most
of our students arc on ftoancial assistance and work jl&amp;rl-time to snpport
tbemlelvea tbfou1b. school. It is difficult
to study ;when you are al-ys WC?rried
about increuod ClOIII.~

.'

For their part, st udents at UB have
begun a petition drive to persuade the
administration not to impose a parking
fee at the University. Gage says that over
1,400 signatures have been collected. He
is also taking up the issue with the University Council.
Corigliano added that SUNY college
and university councils have been asked
to act on tbe proposed parking fee
between April 13 and May g_ They arc
not permitted to endorse the plan prior
to April 13. "The reason for this policy
- and it's only a guess on my part - Is
that there is a posting period for the colleetion of new fees and this is required to
make any collection legal," Corigliano
said.
GliF wu to have raised tbe parking
fee issue at tbe Faculty Senate Executive
Committee (FSEC) meeting yesterday
and plana to bring it lip at the next Uaivenity Council meeting on April

�NELSO.N TOWNSEND

Cultivating UB's
By DEBBIE JAKALA
Repu n er Slaff

At CJ a.m. si tting at a table )ltuatcd
onl y a few steps into his office.
Nelson Townsend is draft ing a
letter .
1-11 ~ location i) strategic The
hou r i~ decepti ve.
Several t im~~ a week , and on an
occasional weekend . U B's Director of Athletics is
already at work - as early as 7 a.m. On this
panicular day he used the early morning quiet to write
letters to the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
the Graduate Student Association, as well as to an
"outstanding professio nal" whom Townsend is
encouraging to apply for a position at the Uni versity.
Other mornings, when he's not work ing in his office.
by 7:30a.m. he is attending World Universit y Games
committee meetl ngs.
Though the reasons why Townsend comes to work
so early may vary, the necessity of doing so goes
without question. As 9 a.m. approaches, so do
interruptions.
Coaches and fellow admiqstrators come to his door
- a door which is virtually never closed while the
director is in - to drop ofT paper.; or to tell him
about scheduling changes. It's the
middle of spring recess and Townsend
explains that not as many students
have come in· this week.
However, wben a student or anyone

else approaches his office Townsend ls only an arm's
length away. Working from table close to the door,
Townsend explains that he stands at his desk more
than he sits at it.
As he works on yet another letter - this one asking
J im Bahiem, Syracuse Univer.;ity's head basketball
coach. to be the banquet speaker at UB's athletic
awa rd s ceremony - Townsend breaks between
sen tences and paragraphs to answer questions and
receive phone calls.
Some people might view these interruptions as
disturbing, but Townsend welcomes them.
" I like being able to see a coach and 10 minutes
later fall in synch with something totally different," he
explains . ... don't ever feel it's out of control, just
busy, busy, busy."
Townsend went on to explain that the day before he
had meetings scheduled from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Today's schedule he described as "light" - the day
would be like "watching grass grow," he said.
Considering that Townsend was brought to UB two
year.; ago to help the Division of Athleties grow from
a Division Ill program to Division I, his reference to
grass is appropriate-. In the eyes of many. Towflsend is
responsible for more than a lawn, however. Rather, he
is cultivating UB's field of dreams.
When the seeds to upgrade UB's athletic program

were planted in 1986. the Univer.;ity decided it _needed
a person experienced in cultivating an athletic program
from the roots up. As athletic director at Delaware
State College, Townsend brought a once struggling
Division 11 program to proril.inence in the Northeast,
helping to raise the program to the Division !·AA
level in seven years.
1
His history of bringing atble\ic pJOgr&amp;IIIS into full
bloom is evident. Memorabilia - plaqucs, certificates
and awards - from previous posts fiU his office
shelves. Most exp.U. appreciation for the enthusiasm,
cOoperation and accomplishments that .be brought to
tpose schools.

Committee, Townsend is asked to speak at a variety of
luncheons and events. He likes to say yes and manages
to find the time.
On this panicular day Townsend leaves the UB
North Campus by 11:15 for a luncheon sponsored by
the Society of American Military Engineers.

Before his speech, Townsend is approached by the
society's members who ask virtually the same question:
"What arc the World University Games?"
Because people ask this question so often, Townsend .
takes advantage of as many opportunities as possible
to talk. abOut the games and what they mean to UB
and Buffalo.

It is nearly 10:30 a.m. and
Townsend has finished his letters
and worked on one of 5everal
projects concerning UB's upgrade,
as well as making 5everal trips
between Bill Breene's office and the
second floor of Alumni Arena.
" We (DiU Breene and Tom Koller, sports
onfo rmation dilUtor) have mini-.:onfercnces four or
five times a day," Townsend explains.
Whether he's reading a letter asking him to speak ,at
a luncheon or working on the outline for a new fiveyear plan for the upgrade, he approaches each task.
with the same attention and concern. It is Townsend's
concern for those in the Buffalo community who
request his help that keeps liim so "biisy, busy, busy."
As • .member of the World University Games

The relationship of the games to U B is obvious.
.During his speech Townsend emphasizes tho "marriage
beiween Division I and the University Games" by
clasping his bands together. He sheds new light on the
importance of the games to Buffalo. According to
Townsend, once the games arc over. practice fields.
tennis courts and swimming facilities will be left
behind for all the Buffalo communi'ty to use.
Townsend 's emphasis upon the Buffalo community has
been evident since his arrival in Buffalo two years
ago. His involvement with activities beyond UB's
athletic upgrade are positive reinforcement for his
goals at UB.

Following the luncheon,
Townsend returns t.o his office and
is greeted by a pile of phone
m\'SS8ges. While be works his way
through each message, further
insight into his philosophy and
goals is revealed.
A sign on the wall behind his desk lists, "The Four
,Wal'-'fest for the things we think, say or do." The last
two items ask, MWill it build good will and better
friends? and Will it be beneficial to all concerned?"
Meeting witb ~ward P. Schneider, vice prisidern of

finance, UB Foundation, and William
K. George, professor of mechanical and
aerospace engineering, Townsend discusses bow the 19-foot sailboat that
was donated to the Univenity will be utilized . Liability
is a majority concern of all thee and they spend the
next ~our planning way$ to handle. this problem.
During the meeting, Townsend talks about the
formation of a sailing club at UB, as well as camping,
white water rafting and scuba clubs.
"We arcn' being original," Townsend says. "For
years (the Univenity oO Maryland has led campins
expeditions. We can take credit for diversifying and at
least making the opportunity available."
Mak.ing opportunities available for everyone is
something Townsend takes a step further during his
next meeting_ World Cup Soccer will be held in the
United States for the first time in 1994. ToWIIsend
work.s witb a member of the committee looking to
make Buffalo a pan of this event.
A site_committee wiU be in Buffalo early next month
to examine Buffalo's facilities and capabilities to be
one of the host cities.
'
" We really don' have time (to be involved with
this)," Townsend said. "but this is big time. It is all
interwoven from a development perspective."'
The coming of the World Games, as well as the
possibility of World Cup Soccer, would bring
recognition to UB, and establish UB's pride and
identity.
"That spirit that makes one wear a Georgetown
sweatshin... that is something that is felt when you feel
good about your own (institution)," he explained.

CD~

It is 5 p.m. and Townse!"'
prepares for another meeting at 6
p.m. Now sitting on a shelf behind
his desk. is the certificate he
· n:ceived at the luncheon earlier in
. the day. Given to him in
recognition for what be bas done
and is doing for Buffalo, it blends the success of
Townsend's past and the progress he is making for UB
and the-city of Buffalo's futw1:.

LOSS OF·CONTROL
ISKEYTO
RECOGNIZING
AN ADDICTION
By EMMA K. HARROD, M.D.
Clin•calrAssoclate Professor; Clintcal Assistant
Professor. rehabilitation medic ine. UniverSity

Heal1h Serke

any authorities now recognize an addiction to be any
behavior which one does
repeatedly despite its causing harm to oneself, as a result of a loss
of ability to control or limit the behavior.
The classic addiction is drug addictioli .. but there is an increasing awareness that virtually _any behavior, no matter how necessary or highly esteemed it
is. can develop into an addiction. The
person who works · ellcessively may be
rich and famous but if his or her health is
impaired, personal growth and family
neglected, many would recognize the
hard worker as being work-addicted or a
workaholic .
Even caring for other people may
become destructive if the caretaker needs
to provide the care so much that his or
her own needs are nqlected. There can
be a fine lille between nobility and this
disability and croaill&amp; the line is seldom
recognized by the individual.
In the Wlivenily arrironmeot many
different adclictiw bdia-rion can be aeen,
includina c1rua and alcoboi ·addiction

M

which impairs health and academic and
social performance. and causes acute and
long term disease and disa bility, addiction to sexual activi ty with much emotional distress and spread of disease, nicotine addiction with continued smoking
despite known health problems and
social sanctions. eating disorders with a
need to eat despite morbid obesity or a
need to limit food intake despite serious
malnutrition or problems secondary to
vomiting, and addiction to one's appearu.ncc or athletic powers with use of muscle building androgens and exercise:
addiction with a need to run despite
deteriorating bones and joints.

There are many social, biological and
psychological factors which predispose to
the development of addiction. Our culture has bad a standard of acceptable
social drinking which leads to addiction
in about 20 percent of all people who
drink at this " normal" leve l and certain
individuals are even more at risk.
We continue to subsidize and sell
tobacco despite the recognition that it is
highly addictive and harmful. Many well
meaning people encouraged the use of
very addictive but illegal drugs such as
cocaine.
qur society also allowt men:bants of
!9dictive substances to use mar~eting
methods which encourage potential
addictive use; i.e. advocating alcohol to
deal with ltless and anxiety, diltribution
of free c:iprettes to youths and otber
nonusen, the idealiz.ation of the very
thin female, and the use of sexual stimu-

real self or the "child within." As a result
we look outside of ourselves for personal
satisfaction and b~ppiness. If the inner
self is in enough pain,lhe drive for external sources of pleasure and relief of pain
can be intense and a/e nts or behavi.Qn _
which give intense pleasure and relief
from pain cause a rebound increase in
the user's sense of personaJ dissatisfaction and pain. A cycle of use and need
develops into a dependency on or addiction to the agen~ or behavior.
There are many potential resou"r ces to
prevent, limit and treat addictive behaviors but we need to ticognize the risks,
facilitate a nd encourage healthy behavior and Jearn to recognize and assist
those persoos with potential or act ual
addictive diseases. An addiction may be
mild and transient; many individuaJs can
escape their addictions with will power
and substitute behavior if they recognize
its danger but many persons have an
addictive disease with denial of their
problems and projection or blaming others for all the bad things which happen to
them. If these people are lucky they will
have friends or colleagues who recognize
their disease and are willing to ellpend
the care and effort to confront the person
and assist them in obtaining appropriate
care.
Treatment of addictive diseases
requires many different resources and
strategies. Medical intervention may be
needed in the acute phase or to facilitate
trea tment; psychologic treatment of
secondary or underlying dysfunction is
often needed as well as long term support
and peer counseling to change behaviors
and thought patterns.
Most . persons also require spiritual
healing and growth. Many self-herp
groups such as Alcobolics Anonymous,
Narcotics Anonymous, etc. provide support, counseling and spiritual renewal
and are very successful and helpful.
Information and referral can be obtained
by calling the offices of these groups, the
University CouoseJin&amp; or Health Services or commtulity agencies listed in the
yellow pages under Mental H~th.
Alcoholism or Drug Treatment. Campus
and community religious groups may
also be very helpful

�HELP .AVAILABLE
FOR OVERCOMING
ADDICTIVE
BEHAVIOR
By FREDERICK COOLEY, Ph.D.
Research Asst. Professor. Clinical Asst.
Professor. family medicine. Erie County Medi·

cal Center

ddictive behaviors are the top- •
ic of increased scrutiny by
researchers and clinicians. Not
so long ago, "addictive behaviors" was considered synonymous with

A

drinking too much. More recently, marijuana and other drugs such as cocaine
have been popularly considered to be
part of the addictive behaviors. However. overdoing anything became the
subject of investigatron as common

behaviors were: nottd in overdrinking,
overeating (and other food related disorders such as anorexia and bulimia),
oversmoking, and even hinging on emotions or exercise.
Similarities among addictive behaviors appeared as clinicians struggled to
treat tbeoe slllbborn problems. For
example, Lithium, used to control manic
depressive _disorders (bipolar affective
disorder) appeared to have some effu:acy
for those suffering from eating disorders
such as anorexia or bulimia. Either
group treated with Lithium tended.,.to
lose their appetite for excess alcobol&amp;lnsumption.

WhJ Do We Ovenlo It?
The reasons that we indulge in harmful qcess behavion are &lt;;omplex and
include both genetio and environmental
factors. Certainly one of the most common reasons is to feel better, i.e., we selfmedicate. People who are anxious,
depressed, lonely, or whatever may turn

to various substailccs or behaviors, hoping to feel better.
Some head for tbe liquor cabinet or
bar to reduce their pain; othen bead for
the refrigerator. Anxious people grab
another cup of coffee or a cigarette even
though both contain stimulants! Then,
of course, they can' sleep .. ..

Although most are aware of oversmok.ing, overeating and other excess
behaviors, tbere is a simple way to assess
the problem, even for drink.ing and
drugging:

• Try stopping for a month. See what
abstinence is like. If yon feel like you
have a terrible case of flu or any other
discomfort within tbe first~ to 48 bours
after you cease drinking, and. up to 7to
10 days in tbe case of drugs,~ medical
attention immediately. Stopping tbe
ingestion of substancest he
is used
to, can result in a dangerous condition ,
called withdrawal.

�THE. WORLD ACCORDING
TO_ . BUBLEY
By DEBBIE JAKALA
Reporter Slaff

naturc ... they don't seem
to be things people see. I
see the world as a whole
set of pictures."

E

oes this mean a
you?"
Albert Einstein posed
this question to a young
photographer from Lift
magazine in 1953.
.. Yes, sir - it does,"
answered Esther Bubley,
who photographed Ein·
stein on his 74th birthday
as one of her first
assignments.
The response was simple, yet her conviction
was obvious. ./
Einstein allmZed Bubley to stay with him that
day and the picture ,
"Albert Einstein returning home from work at
tbe Institute for Advanced
Study (Princeton. New
Jersey)" is one of approximately 90 photographs
on display at the Bethune
Gallery through April 12.
Each work holds it Iii
own story; its own meaning. The same conviction ~
with which sbe approached 15
Einstein is evident in 1_
each photograph on ~
dislay. ·
.
While the photograph ~
of Einstein is only one of ~
many examples in which
Bubley made an individual who did not
like being photographed feel at ease, it is
also a rare shot of an individual who is
known and recognized .

"E

sther Bublcy On Assign·
ment," whicb opened March 22,
features her work between 1940 and
1960. Described as a "photographer's
photographer," Bubley became one of
New York's top photographers, documenting " How America Lives" for Tht
l.Adia ' Homt Journal. She has also
done 'WOrk for 1imt, Fortllm!, Sports
11/wtrattd, Tht Saturday Evtning PoJt
and Tht Ntw York 1imtS.
Much of her work captured the life
and times of ordinacy, nameless people.
Yet, four decades later, they all hold
meAning and give value to a past era.
In some ways, Bubley believes her
style iJ from an era which is long past. In
an interview prior, to the opening of her
exhibition Bubley said that documentary
photojournalism · and her style are
"old-fashioned."
"!like to read about the new trends,"
she said, "but I don\ like them. Cindy
Sherman takes pictura ofbersclf dressed
as anything from a bai lady .to Marilyn
Monroe and · mates enormous six-byeight-foot glouy prints.

BUBLEY'S SEPTEMBER, 1M3 PHOTO IS ENTmED "PASSENGERS EXCHANGING
'MORON JOKES' BETWEEN PITTSBURGH AND S!. LOUIS-"

"I feel photos~ should be more of a
recording of what is going on in people's
lives," she continued. "I don't think they
should malce them up. They (Sherman
and other photographers with this style)
should be painters, except they probably
can't painL ~
hetber or not photography is an
art form is also something Bubley
challenges.
"I like to show bow things are made
- 1 try to make the composition as good
as I can - but I don't think I'm an

W

artist;• she said. '"You
should be able to. tell what
something is by looking at
it."
After searching for the
right wprds to describe ber
work, Bubley fmally settled

on one - ..simplistic."
It iJ ber yearning for simplicity that may have influ.
enoed an .asslpment editor
at Lif• to-tell ber that 1be
wu "not a Lift personality"
when sbe fiTSI punned a job
at tbe magazine.

Bubley is quiet by nature and
explaiocd that sbe "likes to watch and
listen to · people," something that probably led her to become a photographer in
the firSt place. Ironically, Life is what
actualty ~gavc birth to her first photographic desires.
"When I was in high school I became
interested in journalism and was editor
of our school's yearbook," she recalled.
"It was about the (Jme {the ftrst issue of)
Lift was coming out and instead of lines
of posed shots I wanted to show people
doing what they do. Our advisor put an
end to that idea. .. but it
started me off."
And she hasn't stopped .
Bubley continues to capture life, taking pictures in
New York City and of Cen·
tral Park. She said she
hopes someday to publish a
book on the park, highlighting tbe dogs, plants and
"different aspects."
"Central Park has a lot of
different areas - com- ·
pletely different areas," she

said . ..The scenes and

ven so, she never

knows just what she
will photograph "untif it
comes along.~ And wben
it · docs, she's prepared.
" U I don 't take a camera
along I feel guilty." Bubley explained that during
one of her early morning
walks through Central
Park she saw someone
sleeping in a~group of
chairs that was intended
to be an art display.
She did not have a
camera with her, however.
This highlights an
iniportant aspect of Bubley's mindscL "I "9,.uld
have (come back later
and) goi someone to sit
in one.of tbe chain, but it
wouldn't have been iht
same."
It wouldn't have been
real.
lt is ber quintessential
style that has propelled
her work into tbe liiDe:
light and into. permanent
collections over tbe years.
Her work appears in tbe
Museum of Modern Art,
the Library of Congress,
The National Portrait
Gallery and the Metropolitan M'uscum. It bas
also been shown in over
40 photographic exhibitions since 1960.
Even so, her work bas
not been seen on a wide scale, aa:ording
to U B Art Department Chair Tyrone
Georgiou.
"She spent her life as a photojournalist, but she's not really exhibited that
much, Georgiou said. "I saw her two
years ago at a conference (in Houston).
We've been working on (bringing her to
UB) since June.~
·

B

etlrune Gallery Director Cheryl St.
George has enjoy"&lt;~ all the work
that has gone into the project, knowing
the end result would malce it worthwhile.
" What I admire about her is the people
she involves ... they are so totally unaware
of her presence ,~ she said. "I enjoyed
doing it."
"Esther Bubley - On Assignment "is
the first exhibition the UB Art Depart·
ment has undertaken that will travel
after its appearance in Buffalo ends,
Georgiou explained. It is scheduled to
appear at the Minnesota College of Art
and Design.
The show was pr"!!uced with support
from the Dean's Office, Faculty of Arts
and Letters, and tbe Eastman Kodak
Corporation's Professional Products
Division.
The exhibition. runs through April 1'2
and is free and open to tbe public.

QUIET
DIM

�S~ _Goodloe will host.Evening jazz .pt'6~..
made its most
signifia,nt
program
change in
recent yean
by :idding National Public
Radio's "Heat" program to its
late night ~hedule from
11:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.
Monday through Thursday.
In additign, WBFO has
selected 'sam Goodloe to be
the host of the Slalion's
evening jazz program from
7:00 p.m. until II :00 p.m.
Monday through Friday.
"Heat" is NPR's foray into
the world of late night talk
radio. (See accompanying
article.) WBFO was one of
two stations lO

cany the week

of pilot "Heat" programs in
February live on ilie air, and
it was the only station to
request listener feedback. The
station received almost 150
calls with about 60% of the .
callers supporting the late
night presentation of the
program and about 40% of
~e callers requesting that

WBFO keep it&gt; late night jazz
programming.
According to Progr.un
Director David Bender'S, the
Slalion will monitor "Heat"
for the next year to see if the
program does, in faa,
sua:eed. "We didn't make this
program change
haphazardly," said Benders.
"We did the test run. We
talked with other Slations
about the program. We talked
'With the producen. And now
we are going to monitor the
progfam to make sure it is
serving the needs of the
audience."
The new host of the
evening jazz program will be
Sam Goodloe,' a voice Who is
familiar to WBFO li.sleners as
the host of the Thunday
7:00.10:00 p.m. program. Sam
is currently a student at UB's
Dental School "We are
excited about having Sam as
our evening host." said

Program Director Benders.
"Sam has a very relaxed
presentation. He will help us
achieve a consistency that we

have never had before in the
hiswry of this radio Slation.
Monday through Friday,
people will know whalto
expect when they rune to 88.7
FM." Bill Besecker wiD be the
designated subotiruae for Sam
during the evening progr.un.
ln oroer to preserve the
contributions that many of
the Slalion's volunteer jazz
program have made to the
Slalion, WBFO has changed
its Sunday programming to
accommodate several of these
program hosts. WBFO will
have exclusive jazz
programming from 10:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
(Ch«k the "Details" seaion
of the Progrrnro·Gvide for more
, infonnation.) "WBFO cannot
afford to lose touch with its
community programmers,"
said General Manager Davis.
"Some of these people were
simply too good to lose. We
had to make room for them."
"Womenspeak" and "Car
Talk" will now I.e heard on
Sunday mornings at 6:30 a.m.
and 7:00 a.m., respectively.

Material from "Womenspeak"
will be incorpon!Cd into
WBFO's regular local news
programming during "Local
Edition." "Celtic Music" has
been elimina!ed from the
achedule.
"lmprovinJ the consiJtency
of the schedule wiD improve
WBFO's ability to sene the
Western New Yori&lt;. and
Southern Ontario audience,"
. said Davis. "But many of the
deeisions we have made to
achieve this goal were qwte
difficuiL" Davis speci6cally
thanked Jack Loclthart, Rick
Kaye. Joe Lucas. Danny Hull,
Mike Wllder,, and Tony
Sachsenmaier for their
conuibutions to the station.
"We'll miss them and we wish

them well," said Davis. 'They
have been pan of an
esteemed tradition of
volunteer service to lhe

community al WBFO. We'll
continue that tradition, but

during the weekdays we will,
hopefully, be improving upon
lhe Lradition of servitt to lhe
community."

he "Quiet Drive"
makes an encore
appearance during
WBFO's Spring onair fundralser April
21-28. "People really
liked the 'Quiet Drive; " said
Bruce Allen Kolesni ck.
WBFO's Associate General
Manager. "Listener.; like it
because their favorite
programs aren't interrupted
and there is no hype. The
staff !ius the 'Quiet Drive· •
because it is focused, direct,
and to the point"
WBFO staned the 'Quiet
Drive' as an alternative
approach to on-air
fundraisers "out of necessity,"
according to WBFO General
Manager Bill Davis. "There
a re a lot of public
broadcasting entities in this
area," said Davis. "WBFO had
to do something to
differentiate itself from the
competiti o n and we knew th ar
listeners were losing patience
with t.r.aditional fundraisers.
so we decided to !)lake a ,
cflange. Fonunately, it seems
we made the right decision.
WBFO will be known as the
'Quiet Drive' station."

way- of determining how

successful we have been in
these effons. If we· have
enhanced the value of the
service we provi~. th_cn we
will reach our goal. lf we
have not enhanced the value
of our service, we will fall
short."
One other factor may

influence whether or not
WBFO reaehes its $65,000
· goal: a new telephone system.
The station has just installed

a new telephone system
which allows up to six
incoming pledges at a time.
"Hopefully, people will have

an easier time getting
through during this
fundraiser," said Associate
Ge neral Manager Kolesnick.
"In the past, we've only had
three lines available. so the
increase should help make it
easier for the listeners to
pledge. And when we give out
the super·secn:t number.
well. let's cross that bridge
when we get to it"

summer, she caprured th e
auention of the NPR
newsroom with her flair for
writing, and her ab ility to tell
a com pelling story.
Wang shies away from any
hint of praise. "I still think of
myself as a student." sh~ says,
"at ~v~ry point in my life I'm
having to learn a new level of
skills."
Fearlessness aside, Wang's
journalistic skills will blend
well with the knowledge of

from studying East Asian
history in college.
Born of Chinese parents.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Hello computer terminals, goodbye card catalog.
The University's libraries will have a "different"
look and service this fall. Instead of usi!lg the
card catalog to search
for library items, users
will be able to access
some 1.5 million
bibliographic records
through one of 130
computer terminals
located throughout the
system or through their
own
computers
by modem
hpokup.
•I

" T his

is one of the most
dramatic and usefu l accomplishments th at th( ' ibrary

has developed in the last
decade, · said Barbara von Wahlde,
associate vice president for University

Libraries . She added that " this
development is far reaching because it
will benefit the UB community as well as
atlract faculty and students used to using
aUtomated equipment (or research." "
According to Steven Roberts, a$Sdct'1ife.
director for University Ubraries, the
changes that will be in place next fall are
the result of UB's purchasing the online
catalog provided by BISON (Buffalo
Information System Online).
The basic features of the BISON
network. according to Roberts:
• Author, title, subject, and keyword
searches will replace the item-by-item

searches required by the card catalog
syste m . Keyword searches will be

especially useful for people who may not
know the a uthor or title of a panicular
book or journal / periodiccll article.
""Keyword searches arc not as literal as
th ose for the author. title. or subject.'"
Roberts noted.
• The system will allow users to
combine author and title searches.
11-Ysen will also be able to dial into
the • network directly through their
personal com puters via a modem hookup to the University's mainframe as weU
as access library items from terminals in
any UB library.
• Books will be stored on the network's data base. and journal and periodical indexes will also be available.
According to Nancy Fabrizio and Margie Wells. two members of the library's
... implementation team... U 8 has purchased these indexes from H. W. Wilson
Co. in New York and they will be on line
in the fall.

noted that th~ is a solid feature of the
system.
She added that the network will be

Two selected by
National Academy
of Engineering

T

wo UB scientists have been
elected to the prestigious
National Academy of Engineering, the highest professional
distinction an engineer c~ achieve in the

u.s.

The two arc Eli Ruckcnstcin distin1
guished professor of chemical engineering at the University at Buffalo, and
Charles E. Treanor, who recently retired
as vice presidcnt-&lt;:hief scientist for Calspan Corp. and is an adjunct professor at
UB.
Ruckenstcin is the first full-time
SUNY faculty member to be so honored .
Only one other Western New York
scie ntist Wilson Greatbatch, UB
adjunct professor of clcctricaJ engineering who inflented the cardiac pacemaker
and its lithium bauery - has ever been
admitted to the academ y.
Membership is reserved for those, who
have made important contributions to
the theory and practice of engineering, or
who have demonstrated a n unusual
accomplishment in a new technology.
The academy elected Ruckcnstcin for
his outstanding achievements in surface
scie nce. which range from applications in
separation science to catalysis. Treanor's

resc!H".Ch, has involycd various aspects of
fluid dynamics and the physical propertics of gases.
"This honor is not only a great credit
to Professor Ruckcostcin personally, but
also a source of pride for UB,the SUNY
system, and the State of New York,"said
UB President Steven B. Sample. "His
joining the National Academy of Engineering is a milestone for him, our university and our state ...

"This honor is not only

a great credit to
Professor Ruckenstein
but also a source of
pride for .UB, the
SUNY system and the
State of New York."
-

STEVEN B. SAMPLE

Sample also said that he is pleased that
the academy has recognized Professor
Treanor's many scientific and professional contributions, from which UB and
Calspan have long benefitted.
Eli Ruckcn5tein has published more
than SOO scientific papers, wbicb cover a
wide spectrum rarely seen in tbe work of
a single sctcotist, from applied mathematics to catalysis, to high-temperature
superconductors, to composite polymers, to enzyme catalysis, to surface
phenomena, to coUoidJ.
Rucltcostcin has made major contributions to tbe ltlldy of t~rt phenomena, includiD&amp; tbe ~ of
physical models to ~P ..Wyz;e lUCb
phenomena; to catalYsis. dcvelopiDa new '

theories about how catalysts behave, and
suggesting how to optimize tbat behavior; and to the area of colloids. He bas
developed theories for such diverse
phenomena as surfactant aggregation;
the thermodynamic stability of microemulsions; the stability of thin films,
foams and emulsions; the rate of deposition of colloidal particles, 1111d enzymatic
catalysis.
Ruckcnstein has also developed new _
prqtein sepCration methods , new
approaches for the design of biocompatiblc surfaces, new technologies for tbe
preparation of supen:onducting mat~
rials and new composite polymers.
Recently, Ruckcnstein devised several
new technologies that resulted in the
development of separation membranes
made out of composite polymers. The
new materials have the superior strength
of composites and are also selective, so
they separate out specific chemical components from liquid mixtures.

A

ccordin g to Ruckcn stein's colleagues, his abi lity to perceive the
essence of a physical or chemical phenomenon at its most basic, fundamental
level is what accounts for his creativity in
solving such a broad range of engineering problems.
Ruckenstein said that his experiences
as a chemical engineer in his native
Romania influenced him to pursue many
different directions in his research.
Ruckenstein and his wife, Velina, an
inOrganjc chemist, left Romania in 19159.
when the National Science Foundation
invited him to be a visiting professor at
Clarkson College of Technology (Potsdam). Two years later, their teen-age
children were able to join them in the
U.S.
From 1970 to 1973, Ruckcnstcin was a
professor of chemical engineering at the
University of Delaware. Since 1973, he
has been at UB and has held visiting professorships at the Catholic University in
Lcuvcn, Belgium; at Technion in Haifa.
Israel; at Bayreuth University in West
Germany_and at Carnegie-Mellon.
For hls scientific activity, Ruck.enstein
received three national awards in Romania, one of them presented by the
Romanian Academy of Sciences.
In the U.S., Ruckenstein has been
honored by the Pnncrican Institute of
Chemical Engineers with its most prestigious awards: the Alpha Chi Sigma
Award in 1977, and the Walker Award
for excellence in contributions to chemical engineering literature in 1988. He is
also the recipient of the 1986 Kendall
Award of the American Chemical
Society for "his creative theories and
experiments in numerous areas of colloid
and surface science." In 1985 he received
the Senior Humboldt Award of the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation
(West Germany) for his work related to
surfactants, and the Creativity Award
from the National Science Foundation.

events taking hold in the

the sciences and the arts, according to
three natives of Russia and Czechoslovakia, now working and studying at UB.
Igor Bronstein is affiliated with the

Eastern Europe to bring

"Soon institutes and
universities will compete
fiercely with industries
for the best scientists."
-

IGOR BRONSTEIN

Noting that Soviet work in genetics is
rapidly improving with these opportunities of foreign research, Bronstein listed
technical, and ultimately financial,
burdens among those· putting the greatest drag on scientifi c practice in his
homeland.
..There are so many proposals just not
feasib le for lack of equipment and technology," he insisted. "I don~ feel as if the
level of education or talent is any different - I'm speaking here of my Institute
compared to American universities.
Bronstein said his country lags noticeablY behind America in "speedy solving of problems. Here a sol ution comes
about ten times as fast , while in Russia it
takes d ays or weeks to repair a leaky
faucet. And with a planned eco nomy,
you have to order supplies a month or
even a year in advance, not knowing if
you're going lo need it. What money you
had is already tied up. So at least in the
realm of scientific investigation, private
interest works 10 the benefit of all."
The quality of experimental components and the access to infocmation
through databases will also likely
improve as a result of political and economic change in Eastern Europe, according to Bronstein . .. Our Institute in Mas·
cow has an advantage in that we receive
every important journal, but we gel them
very late. Work suffers from a lack of
information."
The problem is mon: pronounced at
other Rtissian universities, where discoveries often go unnoticed because of the
difficulty of being published in Western
journals, because of the lapse of months
between a query and a n:ply .."A reputation makes everything," Bronstein said.
" It's important that Soviets have the
chance to communicate, become known
and catch up with other rcsearc:bers."
Along with establisbed reputations,
one could also expect more soun:es of
funding to open !'P for Russian scientists. Said Bronstein: "The structure is
changing so that some brancbes of industo full.!l resean:h indetry are now
pendently. Soon institutes and uoiversilics will compete fl&amp;cely with industries

benefitting from political reform

.. I expect our pure science wiU turn out
many unc!xpected practical applications
and I also expect that the greater income
from applied research will in turn enable
more pure research to be carried out. At
any rale, the Soviet scientific communi·
ties will become much more competitive
in seeking funding and the best young
scientists."

cording to Czech sculptor Petr Sedivy, frenzied changes have begun
in Prague where be was a lecturer at the
Academy _of Fine Arts before coming to
the U B Department of Art in September.
· ·"F~rty pedagogues have already been
thrown out," he said_ "It's a bit strange,
really. I'm afraid the opposition coalition
might malr.e some of" the same mistakes
as the ir predeCessors, that we'll sec the
same situation only in reverse.
"I'm nqt a politician, I'm not an economist, and I'm not a lawyer, but ii seems ·
unjustified to ftrt so many excellent
arti•ts and fine personalities only
because they were Comtrlunisa lt
doesn' look well."
Sedivy hoped and Ullumed that the
most obvious changes for CzeCh artists
working under tbe auipices of the Minis-

try of Education and Culture will be ·
reforms of the-teaching syllabuses - new
emphases together with a new respect for
all kinds of art.
He explains thai the,olil, yllabus was
tailored to a system otfartistic education
quite unlike that in America, preparing
students for careers as professional
artists. concentrating on Realism while
nill drawing on Czech traditions in portrait and fugurative art "Wilh lbe native art, there's a special
kind of feeling and a special kind of poetry thai deals with soft things difficult to
express,"~ Sedivy_" After 300 years as
part of a monarchy, then: was bound to
be an intense turning toward the local
inherited traditions of folk art in
attempts to form a distinctly Czechoslovakian identity_"
Against artistic coDCCrns with national
feeling and often at odds with official
Communist Realism, is the prominent
dissident or .. upstart" art, which has continued to be more in!'emational in
character.
"Abstract art was a little aiscriminated
against until OorbKbev. Afterward conditioDI were changed and those artist}
found many oppol1unitcs to protest
hegemony," Sedivy said. Now abstract
art is flouriahing in Czechoslovakia

much like the avante·garde between the
World Wars. It's especially popular wi th
the younger generation more given to
self-&lt;:xpression, he added .
But it is not unknown to the older
generation, either . .. We learned the classics of modern art, .. said Sedivy . .. I came
here because it 's had an influence on my
own work . I understand the background
and feel very comfo rtable here . Yet it 's so
different.
·
.. All of American culture is so influenced by production - of cars, food ,
electronics, architecture and what not.
So advenising has a huge influence on
aesthetic feeling, one that it could never
have had in Czechoslovakia where each
industry is a monopoly industry."
Sedivy also anticipates that commissions and exhibition will beCome le.!!
subject to the taste of a few central
authorities. His work is curi-ently on
exhibit at Friendship House in Lackawanna and will soon be shown at the
Albright-Knox .
Valerii Kuvakin, a philosophy professor here at U B since January as part of
an exchange between SUNY and Moscow State University, said the new freedoms have touched all members of the
in telligentsia. affecti ng all with creative
or academic pursuits.
A free presS has arisen that includes
private publishers. Formerly banned
books are now easily acquired by some·
one in a library without first having 10
prove party loyalty. "Young people an:
quite excited - Sartn:, Heidegger, Berdyayev - it 's all so new to them," said
Kuvakin. He mentions that within the
university theu is a movement away
from historical philosophy and allempts
an: being made to establish normal relations with the world philosophical
community.
Ideological changes have also lesse ned
the rigid influence of officially supported
Marxist philosophy. "II was quite hard
for Marxist philosophers before," said
Kuvakin. "They had an artificial suppon
and fell guilty about the . purposes 10
which Marxism was put. The ideas
seemed Ia lose their credibility."
Although political reform bas been
good 10 philosophy, the gn:al future
changes are not really philosophy's to
make, according to Kuvakin. "The entire
economical and political structure needs
help; the n:al problems deal with production. The bureaucracy doesn' worry
wben you're only talking_ II does when
you're doing something very substantial
and then it resistS very strongly.
"But DOW,-!! least, phil0$0pby is seen
as a human value. That's what malr.es all
philosophical systems equal. A free
competiton of ideal is good for pbilo'sopby and it's good for j,eople_ How

UB, she adde(j, is one of the ftrst um versities to make both the data base and the

Funding for this project has come
primarily from monies a llocated through
the University's Grad uate Research
Initiative (GRl ). According to Roberts , a
total of S l. 9 million has been spent in
the past three years. "This amount does

China program: It's a moral issue for the Univers.ity
By ANTHONY RALSTON

T

bert: has been a lot in the
Rtporur and the Buffalo
Ntws in recent weeks about
the funding of the Management
School's program in China. With the
funding now seemingly in place, there
are plans to restart the program
shortly. In addition, on 27 February
the Provost lifted the ban on the usc of
University funds for travel to China
and he noted the desin: of the Beijing
Exchange Committee and the Council
on International Studies to reestablish
the Beijing Exchange program.
Last June tbe University's programs
in China were suspended for the
cxceDent reason that we could not
assure the "personal safety and
security" of faculty and students in
China. Now that, in the Provost's
words. "'there are no indications that
any American faculty member or
student would be unsafe in China"
nothing stands in tbe way of resuming
tbcse programs, certainly not " national
policy" whose "uncertainty" last June
was another reason for suspending the
programs.
The safety of faculty and students is

surely a necessary condition for
resuming the programs in China. And a
national policy which suppon. cozying
up to the current Chinese government
is surely no reason not to have
academic relations with China. But
neithef reason is sufficient to have such
relations. There should be some
positive reasons. moral as well as
academic, to nih programs in country
with a brutal and repressive government
and in wbicb there is no semblance of
academic freedom.
Here are three pertinent questions
about UB and China:
I. If we had had no programs in
China before Tiananmen Square,
should we consider starting any now?
2. What is our obligation to the
students currently pan way through the
program of the Management School?
3. How much should decisions about
the current programs be based on the
desires of colleagues in China who have
formed close, collegial relations with
UB faculty?
H ~re ase my answers:
I. Of course not. Whatever hopes we
may have had for liberalization and
progress in China were dashed by
Tiananmcn Squa~c. And there are no

a

signs that things will improve in China
in the forseeable future. In China and elsewhere - our participation in
programs in countries with repressive
governments and in which academic
freedom is unknown , far from
il)creasing our prestige, only makes us

"Inevitably when you
cooperate with
governments like that
in China today you
are being 'used' in the
worst sense of that
word."
-Anthony R8Won
look opponunistic in pursuit of the
&lt;Upposed prestige of international
programs.
2. A serious one. We should, I
believe, meet our obligations to these
students if we can.
3. Very lillie, unfortunately.
Although colleagues in China
undoubtedl/ wis'h to see programs
with other countries continue, the sad

fact is that, if the Chinese goverrlment
allows such programs to continue, it is
only because it ~ the prograsns
serving its aims which cannot also be
ours.
Inevitably when you cooperate with
governments like that in China today,
you ase being "used" in the worst sense
of that word. Therefore, after
completing our obligations to the
students in the Management School
program, we should discontinue all UB
programs in China until such time as
there is good reason to think that
China is on a road to liberalization and
decency.
At the Faculty Senate meeting on 27
February, the Provost warned us
against taking " political" stands such as
the one I espouse here. Indeed,
positions liken for reasons of morality
often have political consquenccs. But a
university administration unwilling to
take stands on moral grounds abdicates
its leadership role. In this instance as in
the Law School recruiting issue last
year. the administration seems ready to
avoid the moral issue if at all possible .

,.Mai~tenanc.~ is·,~ geartng::.: Up for ·~~eld·~~~yea·~ . sno~~~~~·:· "·: !~;E
By KEVIN MOORE
Reporl&lt;lf Staff

s spring wcatber arrives, and
summer is not so far away. the
last thing on anyone'• mind is
snow. Yet, for all the people at
Physical Facilities and the Physical Plant
of UB, as well as for Public Safety,
preparations for next winter are already
under way.
Among the problems winter creates
for UB,tlie most difficult are "wet heavy
snows in th&lt;: early morning before school
starts," according to Dean Fredericks,
assistant vice pr:esident for Physical
Facilities... As can start coming in for
morning classes,. we have a bard time
plowing. forcing us to wait until night
classes end to get the snow cleared
away," Fredericks said.
Icc storms compound the problems
created by morning snowfall, adds Jack
Eggert, assistant din:ctor of Public
Safety. "Icc storms pose a serious driving
hazard, reducing visibility and making
the roads dangerous to drive on," Eggen
said.
Last winter was "slightly below average," despite plowing difficulties, said
Chasles Sonntag, assistant to the director of the South Campus Physical Plant.
"We normally gear up for 100 inches of
snowfall - anything above that consti- ·
lutes a . problem, below that, we can
manage," Sonntag explaineD. "For the
last three or four years, we've bad
nothing more than that .kvel"
The snow removal policy requires that
"if the snow exceeds two to four inches,
then the plows are callcd out," Freder·
icks said. "For late-breaking storms, we
do mui:b until most of the can have
left the lots."
Handlin&amp; the p~oblcms resultin~ from
bcavy suow involves the coordinate_d
efforts of both Maintenance aad Public
Safety. In the mornina. a lieutenant from
Public Safety surveys the campus .and,
usin&amp; a Jist of supervisors whom. be ~
conlad, a1ert1 maintenance u to c:rucial

areas in need of plowing." Sonntag
explained.
...Then we send out a supervisor to
make a second survey of the campus, and
start gelling the plows on the road ."
Sonntag added .
be list Public Safety uses is "basically a notification list of wbo calls
who when the snow falls," Eggert said.
" We keep the list updated daily so we
won't run into any dela ys in gelling the
roads cleared ...
Public Safety also assists with enforcing the winter rules for parking, .. so
when someone's not where they're supposed to be, they won't be blocking a
plow," Eggert explained . Enforcement
esse ntially involves "'ticketing and tow-

T

ing." ~ut Public Safety also helps to facilitate the flow of "traffic off campus, so
the plows can get into the lots as soon as
possible," Eggert added .
In preparation for ne xt winter, both
Maintenance: and Public Safety arc making arrangements. On the drawing
boards, .. we have some ideas which still
~quire further review .... Frede ricks said .
The summer wiU nonethe!ess make the
same routine dem ands. According to
Sonntag, "we 11 need to survey th&lt;: damages the winter left behind - debris,
cracks and potholes. and other road
repairs. Well also look over the equipment to see what needs fixing."

Eggert believes "next year should be
better, because we bave some innovation s in our procedures ... He mentioned
a new on-&lt;ampus "impound area...
located on the North Campus behind the
service building. "This way, it11 be a lot
closer, therefore easier, for someone to
reclaim their car," Eggert explained.
Public Safety will also be using "minitows ... Eggert maintains that .. we use the
' mini-tows ' only as an emergency device
during a severe snow storm ... The .. minitows" move a parked car out or a snowplow's path, in Ca5ethat section of the lot
needs to be cleared out. Eggert says this
procedure is "an e.xtreme measure, and

he Univenity was at a
point where it could take
on larger responsibilities
in: terms of construction
and rehabiliiation projects," said Ron
Naylor, new assistant vice p~ident for
facilities . planniq and desi&amp;q. Naylor
came to UB in December from -the Univenity of Massachusetts, Ambent.
According to Voldemar IIIDUS, ~o­
ciate vice president ' for Univenity, ierviees, three offices were brought together
into a single organizational unit design and construction, 'architectural
services, and space management. Naylor
ovenees all three.
"U B needed to regather the office of
Facilities Planning, pven the tremendous construction under way on campUS:"
said Naylor. He added that "the IJniversity required some direction and this
provided me with a great career opportunity." lnnus was in charge of the operations
of facilities planning and design until
permanent star( could be named. He was
assisted on an interim basis by Frank
Bartscheck, acting assistant vice president for facilities pla!ming and design. In
1989 his office began a nationwide search
for a permanent replacement, lnnus
noted f
The search for a qualified candidate
wa.s .. intensive," lnnua said. '""We had a
large . .nwnbec of applicants from ac~ou
the country and we were absolutely
delighted that Ron Naylor wanted to
~me to UB." He added that "Naylor
brings a broad background of experience
to the position and has the qualifications
and expertise in terms of what the University wanted to achieve ....
Naylor was not just impressed about
U B but also about Buffalo, according to
lnnus. "I think Ron Naylor was pleasantly surprised abotit what Buffalo had
to offer," said Inn us.

aylor, who reports to lnnus at
University Services, has an undcrpaduate degree in architecture and a
muter's degree in public administration.
He served as·director of planning and
development at the University of Musachusett&amp;, Ambent for fi11e years before
coming to UB. He w.u not directly re-

cruited by the University.
" My colleagues at Mauachusetts
made me aware of UB and I applied for
the position," Naylor said. While at
Massachusetts, Naylor said be beeame
familiar with Buffalo and the Univenity.
"There was a person on my staff who had
lived in Buffalo for. eight or nine years.
As a result , l had lint-hand information
about what kind of city Buffi.lo was," be
said.
..For me, Buffalo is a city on the move
and everyone i my family is happy
about being here," Naylor said, adding
that ·u B provided me with a strong staff
to oversee construction projects under
way." His son is an ardent hockey fan
and now he "doesn' know which team to
cheer for - the Boston Bruins or the
Sabres."
In his role as assistant vice president,
Naylor is responsible for shon- and longrange planning for both new and renovated facilities, rehabilitation programs,
and space allocations across the
Un iVersity.
Naylor noted that major construction
projects flow through the SUNY Construction Fund in Albany while renovation projects, such as that currently
under way in Harriman Hall on the
South Campus, are campus-based.
"On large proJeCts, we partiCipate with
SUNY in selecting architects and engineers," Naylor said, adding that .. our
office provid• an oversight funct.iop for
the University."
' In addition to the Harriman Hall
~habilitation project, oibers planned or
under way include the removal of asbestos from tbe dorms on the South Campus , the renovation of laboratory space
for new faculty. as well as assisting in the
planning and design of the Geography
Department's move from the Ridge Lea
Campus to the Ellicott Complex. These
projects are funded by Albany and the
state has the right to review and monitor
such projects, Naylor said.
For the 1989-90 fiscal year, the small
"rehab" projects involved som&lt;f $3 million. According to Naylor, "these projects were designed and implemented by
the Unjversity and monies to finance
them came from campus resources."
Currently, there is S4 mill ion available
for campus rehabilitation projects on the
South Campus.

Based on all this, Hummen and Gail

Dr. ian Baldwin.

"I tapped maple

maple s ugar

said lan Baldwin,
"expert"
....;;;;;.:;.;::.:.._ _ _ _ _ assiStant professor
of biological sciences . ... I was working on

ICCJing sap using buckets hung from the

taps, but Baldwin's efforts soon turned it
into an elaborate plumbing network to

extract greater quantities of the glue y
s ubstance.
'' I ran hoses from all th e taps in the
trees to funnel the sap into a large hold ing tank . I used a wood-fired arch (oven)
to boil down the sap," Baldwin said .
"The old-fashioned method of waiting
for the sap to drip into a bucket is still
used in some places but only to collect
smal l quantities ....
Before you hang up that smock from
Arby's to start your own maple sugar
business, you should know what yo u're

yo u drink raw sap you can barely taste

boil ,it down to remove as much water as
yo u can to get as much sugar as possible.

That ) when things get sticlcy -

you tlave the highest concentration of
sugar."'
When is the best time to tap a tree?
" Maple trees begin their runs in what we

call mud season. during February and
March when there are cold nights, warm
days and the ground is soft," Baldwin

getting into, he sa

sy rup you may have to boil 35 to 40 gallons of sap. That's why it's a tough way
to earn a living," Baldwin said . .. You 're

two and a half to five percent sugar. If

much as five percent sugar. As the season

Yo u can produce more by diluting the

biology at Dartmouth when someone
asked me if I would help them do some

around in the woods so I said yes ...
Saymg yes not only gave him an

effects that tree tapping has on maples.
"Maple sugaring is a process by which

man exploits the ways in which maple

trees send nutrients fron;J the spores and
roots up to the buds," Baldwin
explained .
.. Maple trees have a natural plumbing
syste m to carry nutrients in the form of
starch through the tree. The starch is
stored at the roots and in the spring the
trees release a series of enzymes which
break down tbe stareh into sugar. The
sugar in tbe sap is tben carried upward to
the developing buds where it is used to

~dtng your

stronler-navored syrup and

n discussing maple sugaring Baldwin
is quick to point out that when remov·
ing tlie sa!' tben: is always tbe danger of
over-tapptng tbe tree, especially wben
usmg a vacuum pump to suck out tbe
contents rapidly for longer periods of
time. If a tree is over-tapped, it loses
much of its ability to fight dilcase aod
ward off hazardous insccu like tbe
"peacb thrip" which attacks tbe leaves to
suck out tbe sap. A mature maple 50 to
150 years old can be tapped safely on a
regular basis, be noted_
Baldwin, who earned his PILD_ at
Cornell before joining tbe UB faai!ty in
September, spent tbree yean working
With maple trees and admits it was more
work than be bad expected _
"It was a lot of work; that's for sure.
You have to chop 30 to 40 cords of wood
a season to fire the arch_ On a good run
yo u mtght have to boil down two or
tbree _thousand gallons of sap. You have
to "9 I the sap as quickly as possible so
you' can empty the tank for tbe next run
which might be the following day_ That
means you might be working around tbe
clock 16 or 24 hours straighL That's tbe
hard part_ But I guess it was that expenence that got me interested in studying
the physiological changes of the

NONDISCRIIIINATION
The Uni'tlality at BuiTalo is commit-

ted to rosterina a positive environment
for leamin&amp; and to c:asurina the
safety, ri&amp;bts. and dipity of every
member of the Univenity 1;0mmunity.
To that end the UnivcBity encourages
each and eYC.ry member of the: ~~ea­
demic community to assume individual responsibility for respcctina t.bc:
righu and dignity of othcn and for
hc:lpinato promote the free .ad open
exehanze of ideas in an 11mospbcre of
mutual rupc:cl.
Ccnain types of discrimination are
prohibited by law. For eu.mpk. discriminalioo on the buts of race: i:s
expressly prohibited by boeh federal
and 1tate constitutions and by a wide
ranee or federal and state statutes.
Other state and federal laWI: prohibit
particular forms or discrimination
based on such (acton u &amp;eoder. rc:li&amp;ion. national oriain. ace. disability,
marital status, or veteran st&amp;lus.
Funhermore, Go'tlernor Cuomo's
Exccut.\Ye Order No. 28 prohibits diJ..
crimination on the basis of sexual
orientation in employment aod provision or services by state qeacies. Sludenu should be a~ that anyooc
wbo violatc:s laws probibitina ..,ccif~e
forms of discrimin.ation may kad to
criminal prosecution or civil penalties.
Tbc State Univen.ity Trustees haYC
adopted a policy (Trustee .. Resolution
83-216) which dirc:cu that judFfDCnU
about and actions toward students and
employees wilhin tbc SUNY system be
based on1 t.beir qualif.catioM.. abilities
and performance. The Trustee' policy
aoes on to say that altitudes., prac:ticcs,
and prd'~ or individuals that art
essentially personal in nature, such as
prink expn:ssion or sexual orientation, an: unn:Latcd to performance and
provide no basis for judaement.
Finally, it is lbc policy of tbc Uni·
Yenity at Buffalo to prohibit invtdious
catt:JOricaJ discrimination based on
such charactcristia as race:. gender.

scx.ual orientation.. aae. national
ofi&amp;in, rd;,;oa. or disability in all matten afl'ectiaa employa:lad or educational opponunitia within tbc UniYUsity itself. u is. tbc: firm belief or the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Institutional Studies adm.i.niJten the survey to UB participants during the
summer orientation and then di.ltributes
and explains the result..
The survey found that students are
concerned about their fliWICCI. At UB,
nearly half of the freshmen cited the low
tuition here as "important or very important." In tact, tuition .wu the tl\inl most
important reason for choosing UB
among the 1989 freshmen surveyed.
High on the list were the University's
academic reputation (65.8 percent) and
the likely job prospects of graduates
(SO. I percent).
When asked what objectives were considered to be essential or very important,
the largest proportion of UB freshmen
said it wu to "be very well off financially." Becoming an authority in one's
field, raising a family, and obtaining
recognition from colleagiiCI were also
deemed important by enterin&amp; lludents.
Developing a philosophy of life, an
objective considered essential by a large
proportion of students in the early yean
of the survey, has diminished in popularity over the years; it was cited by only
41. 1 percent of UB's 1989 freshmen.
Relatively small percentages of students had as their objectives achiCV!'ment

to science, participating in community

The majority of the 1989 freshmen
plan to get graduate degrees; 41.8 per-

cept expect to cain a muter's and 18. 1
percent a doctorate. Most do not, however, expect to be working on these

degrees ai UB.

who were Ulldecidect about their career

group of respondents (10 peni:nt). Business, law and medicine also attracted
aignifteant numbers of students.
The ACE/ UCLA survey reveals the
diversity of UB's student population.

There arc more me..n than women in the
freshman class, an aspect of UB that
differs somewhat from other public uni-

vc"rsities, where the ratio is closer to

of the death penalty. More than a third
are in favor of raisin&amp; taxes to reduce the
federal defiCit.
.
Some of the items in the survey reflect
sharp differences ~ the attitudes
of men and women. As~ed about the
statement, "If two people !eally like each

In addition, 29.1 percent of the freshman men agreed that "the activities of

Students' estimates of their parents'
incomes were wide-ranging; most (43.6

ran from $40,000 to $75,000.
Politically, about half of the respondents consider themselves to be middle-ofthe-road; a third consider themselves liberal, and 13.2 percent call themselves

by the Bush .administration," said Stepben Dunnett, associate provost for
international programs.
Dunnett's remarks were made at last
week's University Council meeting where
the key item on the agenda was the UniveRity'\5 relationship with six Chinese
, universities in the wake of last summer's
massacre in Tiananmen Squan:.

Following Dunnett's report, several
Council meaiben questioned him on the
status of UB's programs in China. Dun- ·
nett noted that in June, 1989,.lhe Univer·

and suspended _all the rest.

not "a polit.iCal act but was done be&lt;:ause

that "UB's suspension of the agreement

understood that it was not intended to be

Department had put out a travel advi·
sory for China, and the University was
advised to get its people out.
s a result of last summer's government crackdown on the Chinese
pra.democracy movement, some people
wanted the UniveRity to terminate all of
its relationships with China, said Dun·
nett, -as a means of punishing them for
their activities." As Dunnett pointed out
to th.e Cooncil, UB was the first American univel'!ity to enter China in the last

UNDERGRADS
AT ELITE

By LIONEL S. LEWIS and
PAUL WILLIAM KINGSTON
he yearly avalanche of
appli~tions t~ the nation's most
p....UgJOus pnvate colleges and
universities attests to tbe
widespread belief that when: one attends
college matters academically and, later,
professionally. This belief seems grounded
in fact. In h.is study of those who in the
1980s occupied the "top positions in the
institutional structure of American
society" - what he calls •a national elite"
- Thomas Dye found that 54 percent
of corporate leaden !"'d 42 pera:nt of
governmental leaden had graduated from
12 "heavily tlldowed , prestigious, 'name'
private universities - Harvard, Yale,
Oticago, Stanford, Columbia, MIT,
Coroell, Northwestern, Princeton, Johns
Hopkins,' Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth.·
Those who make it through the highly
competitive admissions process of the
prestigious univenities are considered "the
best and the brightest, • those qualified,
perbaps even destined, to have the most

A child of a middle- or lower..:lass
·

family who went on to higher education
would, as a rule, enroll at a local
institution with ~!tie prestige. Indeed, the
e~te stature of institutions such as those
in the Ivy League largely reflcctcd their
connection to moneyed families rather
than the intellectual capacities of their
stude nts. As wags at the turn of the
century mocked, "College is a rich man's
bread - a four-year loaf."
Not until well into this a:ntul')' did the
admissions process at elite private
institutions become academically
competitive in any meaningful way. Even
then, cour.;c requirements most readily
met by affiuent students educated at
private schools, limited financial aid for
need y st udents, and favored treatment of
alumni children kept these institutions
quite socially exclusive. Research has
shown that between 1900 and 1940, at
least 40 pera:nt of the students at
Harvard, Yale, and Princeton were

private secondary school graduates.
Th&lt;: post-war yean have seen the
much-heralded democratization of
American higher education, as evideoa:d
by the huge growth of the relatively lowcost pub~c sector. In 1985, college and
university enrollments were about eight
times larger than they ~ in 1940.
Keeping in step with the increasing
opportunities in puboc higher education,
officials at elite private institutions have,
since the 1960s, repeatedly affu-mcd a
commitment both to more diverse student
bodies and to rneritocratic .admissions
policies. Yet, despite this new emphasis
on academic merit regardless of economic
status. the elite private institutions appear
to remain linked to an upper&lt;lass
constituency within this putative
meritocratic order.
As the costs of ancnding highly
selective private colleges and universities
have soarocl, the question of how far
these institutions have moved to reflect
the socioeconomic diversity of American
society has drawn increasing attention..

Middkxlass parents vociferously
complain about being "squeezed out"
because private education is simply far
too expensive. If working-class families
seldom complain, it is at least in part
because they do not see an education at
an elite private institution for their
children
a realistic possibility.

as

S

orne educators lament the re-

emergence of a ""twtrtier.. system in

higher education - one for the rich. and
one fo r all others. There is good reason
to take these cona:ms seriously.

private institutions appear
to remain linked to an
upper-class constituency."
According to an estimate by the College
Board, by academic year 1987-88 the
avettge annual charges (tuition and fees,
books and supp~es, room and board,
transportation, and miscellaneous costs)
for residential students in all private
institutions had reached $11,982. up 7.3
pera:nt from· the previous year. ·
Comparable costs for residential students
at puboc institutions were $5,189. Tuition
and fees at private colleges and
univenities more than doubled in the
decade from 1978 to 1987. (Although
sizable, the overall in=asc in tuition and
fees at puboc four-year institutions was
not as great.)
Every year between 1981 and 1987,
increases in costs at private institutions
exa:eded the rate of inflation. In 1981 .

the inflatioll rate as measured by the
Consumer Pria: Index was 8.9 pera:nt,
while tuition and fees for a student
entering a four-year priv'lte institution
had increased by 13 pera:nt over the
previous year. In 1986, when inflation
was 1.1 pera:nt, tuition at the average
private institution was up 8 pera:nt. Costs
at private collcge:s and univenities have
risen by not less than 8 pera:nt annually
in each of the six yean following 1981 (in
four consecutive yean the increase was 10
pera:nt or more), although during four of
these yean inflation was only 4 pera:nt
or less. Ffo m 1978 to 1987 disposable
penonal income in the United States rose
95 pera:nt while tuition at private colleges
and universities rose 160 pcra::nt.
According to a national survey, the
average tuition at I, J11 private
institutions increased 9 percent between
1987 and 19&amp;8; the College Board
rt:poned another 9 pera:nt increase at
four·year private colleges and universiucs
between 19&amp;8 and 1989.
Even mort staggering are the costs ol
an education at elite private institutions.
The most expensive colleges and
univenities in the United States in 1987gg were almost all e~te private
institutions: I) Bcnoington College,
$17,990; 2) Sarah Lawm1ct College,
$17,440; 3) Barnard College, $17,296; 4 )
Univenity of Chicago, $17,190; and 5)
Columbia ltoivenity (Columbia College!.
$17,120. Total costs at Prinoeton
Univenity were $16,918; at Stanford
Univenity, $16,835; and at Williams
College, $15,666. With the addition of
other expenses, the fmal cost of attending
an elite private institution for one year
actually totaled more than $20,000. In the
fall of 1989, 172 private institutions
charged tuition of at least $10,000; 30 of
those charged tuition of $14,000 or mort:

primarily by upper~me

Only one in I 2 students at these

incomes below $20,000.-(fo plaa: these

disproportionately from the top end of
the stnlification systein.
The social and economic divemty or
most elite private colk:ges and univemties
has, crSer the yean, clearly increased;
private preparatory school graduates no
longer fill their rolls. The greater
availalSility or fmancial aid in the last few
deca&amp;i bas brought these institutions
within reach of a more socially and
economically divene cohort of collegebound teenagers. At the same time,
however, rapidly escala1ing costs and cuts
in ~tanoe to moderate income families
may have actually increased their
exclusive economic Character in the 1980s.
To address this issue, flgllft I presents
the percenlllgl: of students at private
highly selective institutions with family
incomes above $100,000 for the years
1980 through 1986. The fogute ~ a
huge increase in the proportion of such
aftluent students at these institutions from OIIC-Imth to ooH"ourtb - in this
short time period.
A1tbougb the real value of a $100,000
income d&lt;dincd over these six years, the
dramatic change evident in figure I
undoubtedly points to some increase in
the economic exclusiveness of these
institutions. Modest inflation and some,
real growth in family income in parts of
the country diminished the relative
standing of families at this income level
Not surprisingly, theo, the proportion of
students from afilucnt families grew at all

they are not: the trend lines for the
private highly sclcctivc institutions are
much stccpcr than the one for all
undergraduate institutions.
From 19110 to 1986 the proportion of

�Plastics breakdownJ$ .
subje~t of research .study ~
By ELLEN GOLDBAUM
News Bureaij Staff
esearcbers at UB are trying to
determine llow biodegradable
plastics break down chemically
and bow long it takes them to
do so in the lab and in the environment.
Scientific studies published to .date
have not established the mechanisms and
specific byproducts of degradation in the
environment, according to Paul J.
Kostyniak , UB associate professor of
pharmacology and therapeutics and
principal investigator on the project.
The project is funded by, a grant from
Eco-Star International, a company that
manufactures a coated starch that speeds
up biodegradation when added to
plastic.
Preliminary studies with Eco-Star's
product have shown that plastic compost
bags made with it fall apart after several
months. "That's a physical disintegration1.. said Kostyniak . .. but we are
nov; studying what's happening at the
chemical level."
Concerns that the term "biodegradable .. may not be synonymous with
"ecologically-safe" have cen tered around
the additives that are put into plastics to
enhance their characteristics, such as
color, strength or pliability, Kostyniak
added.
Determining the mechanisms at work
behind degradation could• lead the
researchers to find ways to tmprovc the
materials.
F"onnulato·n make plastics biodegradable by adding ingredients - usually
starches - that initiate key cbemicaJ

Lack of teaching hospital
is 'equity -issue' for UB
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Reporter Staff '

T

he Univers ity's lac k of a
teaching hospital - UB is the
only SUNY center without one has become the subject of
intensive lobbying on the part of UB
officials . ·
According to Valdemar A. lnnus.
a...10sociate vice president for Universit y
se rvices , the lack of a teaching hospital
fo r the School of Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences is an issue of equity
between the University and other SUNY
centers .
.. The eq uity issue is a strong one in
terms of what is provided and what is
needed at the University, " Ionus stated .
adding that "Syracuse, Brooklyn and
Stony Brook all have their own teaching
hospitals, while UB's interns work at
affiliated hospitals." Currently, there is
s2g million in state support for teaching
hospitals, none of which is allocated to
UB, he said .
"We (at UB) put in a request for funds
to defray the costs for our interns, .. Inn us
said. In the 1990-91 budget, UB
requested Sl million for the School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences,
which was supported by SUNY in its
budget proposal sent to Governor
Cuomo. According to lnnus, UB's
request ...was not supponed in the

executive budget and we are now in
discussions with the state legislature on
this matter."
What about the possibility of seeking
outside funds to helpe efray the costs for
U B 's interns? In nus replied that " this is
not a model for the situation at the other
three health centers - the component
the Universiry is lacking is state
support ."
I nnus argued that under current state
support , UB should receive S5 million.
"This would be a good start as well as an
equitable level of support for our
interns." Inn us said . Of the S28 million
provided to Syracuse, Brooklyn and
Stony Brook, Sl4 million is for debt
service while tbe remainder is fo r d.irect
program support.
While the politicians wrangle over the
nuances of budgets, Jnnus noted that
many people are involved at the
University and at a variety of levels in
lobbying for state funds for the School of
Medicine. "Those involved include the
President's Office, the Provost's Office,
Univen ity Services and the Dean of the
School of Medicine," lnnus said.
The University has affiliation agreements with Erie County Medical Center,
Children's Hospital, Buffalo General
Hospital, Millard Fillmore Hospital,
Buffalo VA Medical Center, Mercy
Hospital, Roswell Park Cancer Institute
and Sisters Hospital.

reactions in polymen.
"The theory is tba.t the stareb forms an
initial point of attack: on the plastic and
is metabolized first by microorganisms,"
said Ko~tyniak, wbo is also the di=tor
of UB's Toxicology Research Center.
"Removal of the starch leaves holes in
the plastic which make it more
susceptible to degradation."
The chemical reactions then trigger the
formation of various types of ligands,
different chemical groups that form
along the backbone of a polymer, in
response to sunlight or interactions with
oxygen or chemicals.
"These chemical groups appear to be
critical in enabling microorganisms to
attac k plastics," said Kostyniak.
By studying the ligands, the researchers
hope to learn how much degradation is
accomplished through chemical reactio ns, and how much occurs through the
attack of microo rganisms.
In addition to examining chemical
changes. the researchers will examine
how the polymer changes physically, and
how long it takes to degrade.
They also hope to learn how to
improve the new plastics. So far.
biodegradable ingredients have been
added to plastics that are alread y on the
shelves, which, Kostyniak pointed out ,
"may not be the ideal plastics to use."
The project will involve looking at
other types of plastics that might be
better candidates for biodegradation.
.. We want to know what you have to
do to the plastic to make the bugs chew it
up faster ," said Kostyniak .

seeking apartments, they need help and

O•cts. slight ly ahead of traffic problems.
A semtnar addressing this issue has
been co ndu cted at UB every yea r. for the
past 12 years. This year, S ho nn will co nduct the se minar April 10 as a life workshop enti tled '' How to Su~vive Yo ur

Landlord ."
·· w e co nduct th is scmmar tn the spnng

" Many people ask, 'Is this a good
lease?' I tell them there aren't necessarily
any bad leases. only th at there arc good
and bad landlords," Shon n says. " I
advise students t o learn more about the ir
landlords."
An undergraduate who asked to
remain anonymous recalls his experiences with his current landlord. "Before I
moved into my apartment, I was warned
that the Jar dlord was sort of a slumlord,"
be said . " After I moved in, I found out
that he was, in fact, a bad landlord."
Some of the conditions the student
complained about include long delays in
repairs, and lack of insulation in the
apartment. "When I signed the lease in
May, the landlord promised to fix the
kitchen," he said. "Work did not begin
on the kitchen until October.
"He also refused to install storm windows, so the apartment was tot~ly uninsulated. He claimed that if he installed
storm windows they would be stolen."
A list of responsibilities of landlords
and tenants are included in a booklet
published by Group Legai Services, also
entitled "How to Survive Your Landlord," describing the Buffalo Housing
and Property Code. According to this
booklet, every landlord is responsible for
providing th~ tenant with a proper heating syste,m.
Other responsibilities of a landlord
include iu:ognizina the tenant's right to
have an appropriate number of-electrical
outletS, a window or skylight in every
habitable room. for proper ventilation, a
bathroom witli a toilet, sink, and either a
bathtub or a shower; and to live in clean,
safe premises.

break a lease or call a housing inspector." Counsel should be sought.
Ted Pelton, a graduate student, recalls
an experience with his former landlord.
"When my roommates and I signed the
lease, we dido 't realize that it was illegal
to have more than three bedrooms in the
specific area in which we lived," he said.
"The landlord knew about it, but did it
anyway, j~t to make more moneY."
roup Legal Services advises
students to check into the current
status of maximum occupancy laws for
each area; these restrictions have ...come
under fire" in the University Heights
area.
"Many people invest in property in
college areas to make money," 3l!dcd
Pelton. "Tbe·property is cheap, and there
is low upkeep and high return. .
Another side of this issue, Sbonn
points out, is the nature of landlordstudent problems. "The relationship
between student tenants and their landlords is not a long one," be noted.
"Sometimes the mobile (student) tenant
population is·-n~t the most responsible,
which· raises some problems for the
landlord." ,.·
lrmgard Malec, who bas been renting
aplll1IDCntS to ~udents in the university
area for the past 2!i yean, feels that experience-has taug!lt ber a greai'deal "I consider mySelf a good landlord, • she said .
"When something hu to be fixed in any
of my apartments, I malr.e sure it is fixed
immediately. I believe that it is neceuary
to malr.e sure your apartments are taken
care .or, otherwise the property value
goes down.

.. Once in a while. I run into some problems, such as tenants having loud dogs,
or people who are involved with drugs. If
it gets to a point where they disrupt my
other tenants and the neighbors, I will
· tell them to leave. " Pets, according to the
Group Legal Services, must be kept
..clean, sanitary, safe, quiet and under
control."
Due to problems that can be associated with the student tenant population, some landlords will nqt rent to students. Tom Brinkworth maintains that
he will not rent any of his apartments to
students, with the exception of graduate
students. " I don\ need that kind of hassic, " he said.
Brinkworth feels that graduate students arc a more responsible group of
tenants, who have ... much more respect
for property and better study habits."
"I expect my tenants to follow certain
rules," said Malec. "Early on, I let my
tenants know that I will not tolerate loud
partim:l,hat will disturb the whole neighborhood - and when I rent out a clean
apartment, I expect it to be clean when I
get it back. Otherwise the cost of having
it cl~aned will come out of tbc security
deposit.';
According to the booklet, tenants are
responsible for keeping the premises as
well as all supplied f.:CiUties "clean add
sanitary," and are obligated to dispose of
garbage ·in a ••clean and sanitary
manner."
"I have been lucky," said -Malec. "In
general, I liave.bad good tenants. Over

Yale's world is the world ·of the coalmining regions of Pennsylvania, to
which she emigrated from England at the
age of 18. "Johnny Bull" - the name
with which the Hungarian miners
pigeonholed the unwanted Britisber tells the story of a woman called Iris
who, like Yale, discovers that the United
States is not all Hollywood , that there is
poverty.
The film version of" Johnny Bull"won
both the IH5 ABC Theatre Award and
the Luminas Award for Excellence,
which is given annually by the Women 's
Committee of the Directors' Guild for
"Multi-Dimensional and Positive Depiction in Film and Television ... ·
... Since then, I've written a miniseries,
'Vivien Leigh,' and a pilot for a dramatic
series called ' Holding Ground,' which
was to be the U.S. version of 'Eastcndcrs,' Yale said.
Scripts, however, iare in television ~
they fare in Hollywood: Yale's version of
" Eastcndcn" has been requested several
times, but on each occasion--the project
bas been mysteriously cancelled.
"They don' want a lot of blue coU=
worming their way into the public hearts
- not when they're shoving the ~ of
'Dallas' down the public's throats," said
Yale. It was, she said , unusual that
-Johnny Bull" was aired at all: "You
don' normally see families on welfare on
American television," she said.
Yale is anxious that her screen writing
class understands censorship as well as
technique.
ale wants those considering the
work as a vocation to undentand
the other reality, too: "something in the
region of S500 million is spent annually
on ideas and scripts that never see the
light of day.• But because the coul'llC she
teaches is offered through a collaboration of the Departments of English and
Media Studies, and because it's so popular (4!) students showed up on the fint
day)(~ hopes that some members of
hcr'Ciass will be able to see their work on
screen some day.
And then? "Well, you never know,"
she says.
You never lr.now indeed. Rhoda Lerman is having her class work from news
clippings about Tony l'oto. Tony Toto's
wife, she explains, tried to kill him twice - and was jailed for it . .I But

Fitzgerald cn:ated to
personify the Hollywood

won when one of his scripts

spends his time goi ng from
studi o to studio, screenpla y to
scree nplay, prod ucing

yo u will need to pay attention
to the names as they're read

You will need to pay
auent io n because there is a
stro ng possibiljt y that yo u
will never hear of the writers
in the "adapted " category
again .
" Dick Richards, the
director of 'Tootsie,' told me
there were 28 writers on that
movie," U B English professor
Rhoda Lerman commented
during a rec:c:nt interview. ""He
said, 'They use up a writer the
way one would horses. When
be's no longer fn:sb , they get
another one.' "'
Lerman was in Hollywood
working on a screenplay
about a football player who
wanted to be a woman when
"Tootsit" came out Her idea
- to malte a movie about
transsexuals and transvestites
- "ffoated," as ideas in
Hollywood sometimes will.
Ltnnan is a novelist who is
currently tpocbing a course in
creative wruing for the U B
Department of English. Her
novel "Girl That He Married ,"
has been optioned for
screenplays six times.
"'Optioned' means they give
you ten or t,..,nty thousand
dollars to own your book for
six months so that the writers
can develop it," Lerman said.
"The options on my books
put the l&lt;ids through college. I
watch the struggles the writers
have and know it isn' for me.
They can make a load of

money producing nothing,
but it's still nothing. Most
writers in Hollywood never
get a script produoed ."

W

y didn' Lerman
write the screenplay
for her book herself? "I
thought writing a screenplay
from your own novel would
be like sleeping with your first
husband," she said. "The
thrill is gone."
Instead, because she had
books published and because
they'd been optioned, she was
bin:d as a coruultant. As
such, she works with the
wri ters to help them develop
a story line, and is then:fon:
one up from writer in the
Hollywood pecking order.
lt is a job no1 without its
tribuJations.
" I'd spend five days locked
in a hotel room with five
writers, the proA ncer, and the
director. All we ever did was
eat and fight. It was
horrible. "
What Lerma n did enj oy
about Hollywood was its
sheer vitality, its powerful
sense of endless possibilities.
"I loved tbe can-&lt;lo the
creative energy. To 'sit by a
pool and watch so meone
decide to spend a hundred
million because your idea is
good - I adore that."
. ~VIjlltually~ however, she
dccidtd-sbe b8d to return to

her vocation as a oo~list.
"There came a time when
I'd sold everything: all my
ideas, all my material. But I'd
shown something to a
produoer and be liked it, so
he toolr. me to his agents, the
William Morris Agency. I met
with the bead of the agency,
who sat in a big office with a
picture of General Omar
Bradley on his desk. He
caught mc: -~g at it, and
be told ole they wen: doing a
movie on World War JJ.
Because I W115 arrogant, and
bad sold all my material. I
told him 'World War II is not
when: it's at; World War I is
when: it's at.'
"He said 'What do you
mean?' and I gave him the
spiel we all learned in the
lith grade about World War
I being the watershed between
history and modernity and all
th at.
" He looked at me for a
long time. Then he said :
'that 's very interesting. •
"I had a meeting with the
vice president of the studio
the next week. A 'meeting'
actually means that you sit on
a tin y otool in a huge
amphitheater surrounded l;ly

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

UB, Sheffield

By DAVID HIMMELGREEN
Reporter Staff
Tt¥ positive effects of tbe
orla 11'nivenlt~~:aam;.:
hich will be beld at UB in
1993, are aln:ady being fell
at the University.
An agreement was signed last week by
officials from UB and the University of
Sheffield, England - the host of the
World University Games in 1991 - that
will initiate a student exchange program
to take place over the next three years.
Begi nn ing in the 199()..91 academic
year, eac h un iversi ty will exchange up to
three st udents per year for three years.
"This is o ne of the fi rst links between
the U.S. and Great Britain to be
developed through our joint involvement
in the World University Ga mes," said
Ronald Stein, vice president for
university relations at U 8 .
.. We arc very excited about the many
opportunities for international programs
that the games arc making possible," he
added .
John Padley, registrar and secretary at
the University of Sbeffie!P. and Allan
Barnes, the British university's chief
~&amp;lti ve for the World University
' Games. were present at the signing
, ceremony in .Capen Hall. .
Aside from sharing the World Games
association, the two universities have
much in common with respect to fheir '
histories, noted UB President Steven
Sample at the signing.
Both universiti es started out as
medical schools only to add the arts and
sciences much later on. and they arc
deeply involved in international educa~
tion, Sample said.
In additipn, "Sheffield is a center of an
industrial area, a city that is rather the
mirror image of Buffalo." said Stephen
· Dunnett, assocfate provost for international programs at UB.
"Tbe Univenity of Sheffield is similar
to UB, with a good national ranking and
a repJIIation for bavinl! good Jlll?,lf&amp;ms in
all the sciences and engi.neenng. ~ be
added.
.
Padley pointed out that the World

The year was 1970.
The U.S. was rent by
controversy over the
Vietnam War.
At the center of the
maelstrom were
: numerous U.S. collegeS,
whose campuses
erupted in protest.
During that spring, UB
became a community
rife with tension.

'70 protests

By JEFFREY TREBB
Repone' Staff

Twe nt y years ago thi s mo nth, the Uni·

pro tests, as its intellectuaJ and social
equilibrium was nearly shattered by
'i l rong pol itical pass ions.
Fac uh y. to o. though the y were not

Jnvo lved in the violence, felt keenly the
d t5ruptt o n of those times.

On March 15 . 1970 a gro up of 45 UB
!acuit y members . protesting the presence

of 400 n ot po lice billeted in Clark Gym
o n the So uth Campu s. were arrested
after staging a sit-in with in the office of

re all y should b&lt;: no surprise that what
then provoked strong emotions within
and without the University. today evokes
powerful memories and a variety of personal interpretations from those
involved.
Sixteen of the 45 are still on campw.
and many have moved into even more
responsible positions. Some who participated now find themselves without any
great affection for the times. Others,
pointing to the catharsis a score of years
can bring. find abiding .lessons in the
experience and agreed to speak with the

Reporter.
Michael Frisch. professor of history
and chair of the American Studies
Department. noted first of all how a set
of mythologies have obscured the situation to the point where the faculty protest he was a pan of has b&lt;:en totall y
encapsulated in the ''notion of riots in
the early 1970s.
"Contrary to media reports. the
impulse to involvement and the politicaJ
bean of the faculty protest was the occupation of the campus by police." Frisch
said . "The police had b&lt;:en invited by the
Regan administration to quell the sometimes violent student protest and to
enforce an injunction by the State
Supreme Courl prohibiting interference

But rather than furthering peace and
calm. Frisch contended, minor incidents
soon b&lt;:came political crises: "At the
time. civil rights and to a lesser degree
the presence of ROT€ ·on campus weh: ·
the major issues among students. Strikes
had b&lt;:en called but they were largely
winding down and dissipating in the eyes
of most observers. Most couldn' have
found a 'clear and present danger.· "
So bringing in riot police b&lt;:fore the
dawn on Sunday. March 8 was counterproductive and only awakened a spontaneollS nourish of new protest throughout the University. according to Frisch.
...The riot police were immediate. It
was a condition of martial law and a confession of bankruptcy on the pan of the
administration." Frisch said.
No\' only was it flamboyant. frightening and ill-considered to allow the campus to b&lt;: overrun by 400 riot police
brandishing shotguns, it was also. in the
opinion of Frisch. more or less unprecedented in America.

T

be ado{inistration was bunkere~ and
inaccessible despite a crying need for

communication. he said: ... Military rule
was treated as an appropriate response
to student protest. -making the interests
of the administration a priority over
those of the community at large. It
denied faculty and students any stake in
the University."
No longer answerable to its constituents and relying on police force as an
apology for dialogue, Frisch said the
administration unjntentionally raised the
question of American involvement in
Vietnam to higher visibility.
All .those interviewed emphasized the
maleficent air on a campus suddenly rife
with tension and constraint. a campus
that would close down b&lt;:fore the end of
the semester. Provost William Greiner.
then with the UB Faculty of Law and
Jurisprudence . headed a three-man
commission put together by Regan to
investigate a confrontation between
police and students late in February.
The report concluded that students
were full of distrust. that the faculty was
full of disarray. and that the administration was inaccessible, "'making it
extremely difficult so stan talking to one
another again." It also warned of the

sides - the students and the incompetent administration ...
"The administration found themselves
overwhelmed in a panic mode, pouring
gasoline on the fire." said Frisch.
"Things had b&lt;:en violent enough in February with a major confrontation in the
student un ion and firebombings in the
library."
"Then." he added, "the police b&lt;:gan to
magnify the problems they were intended
to solve. People got. scared. It was very

the words of Charles Haynie, lectun:r in

"The occupation was becoming a pn:·
scription to send things out of control
and rent the University fabric across its
bias," said Frisch. " As things began to
spiral out of control, especially at night.
we felt we had to break the spiral of
antagonism and further oppression holding sway. the escalation. to use a term

concilitory and didn't seek ·revenge. It
was lilY impression that lie contributed
to the eventual dropping of charges."
" In the long run, I guess it's been a
good thing that most people n:member
it ," Fleischer said. "Students still have a
lively inten:st in the affairs of the day, as
seen by the popularity of courses
throughout the country f9tusi ng on the
Vietnam era."

A

vain attempt to create a faculty
police patrol was soo n dropped,
lacking the support of either side. Tben.
on March 15, with students and police
re portedly near sword's point . 45
professors decided to hold a si t-in, hailed
as a third course for those not wanting to ·
wildly riot or men:ly be quiet.
The "Faculty 45" became a catchy allit·
era tive tag but it did not capture the
wide diversity of people fo rced by circumstances into campus politics. Said
Frisch: .. The interesting thing about us
was that we weren't for the most pan
from the organized political left. We
were much more like mathematicians
from the center."
He said he believed the group was
resurrecting and putting forward the idea
and the example of non·violence and
symbo lic act io n thought absent from the
campus.
T he ~sequent arrest of these facult y
(on cnminal contempt charges) for a
peaceful meeting was as unprecedented
as the q uanering of police on campus.
Frisch claimed.
..The sit-t n. was clearly no n-violent and
we ass umed that aistinctio n would be
noticed, but instead everything was done
to blur it , .. he continued, adding that the
local pn:ss equated the facult y's symbolic
protest with the wilder actions of some
students.
.
.. The faculty involvement was received
wi th a good deal of controversy and
actually became a most enraging sy mbol
in the local community, .. said Frisch. ~ It
was foreign to their experience. People
had no categories yet. But the y felt
'good old UB' was moribund and
disappearing.
"People like professors don) sit·in on
admi nistration offices. Good professors
wen: supposed to be rumpled guys in
J heir 50s, professing onl y inside the classroom. But we were assistant professors
in o ur 20s mistaken for grad uate students by th e arn:sti ng police." Frisch
recalled ..
It seemed wrong to man y for the 45 to
even "p rotest, a destruction-of standards
and a betrayal of generational authority,
said Frisch. "Obviously we hadn) perfectly succeeded when (after police had
been withdrawn on March 25), the University's only response to our protest
meeting was to send the group int o the
jaws of an angry political system."

A

ssociate Professor of English Stefan
Fleischer said it seemed incomprehensi ble at the time thal'the University
would n:spond in so peremptory a way.
...Jn that sense I was naive about it.
Knowing then what we learned polit i·
eally in the last 20 years, I think we
probably would have been less confro n·
tational. And I trust the University
administration is also more sophisticated
about handling civil protests. I don'
think their first instinct today would be
to Cllll the cops."
Frisch said that the 45 became in some
sense a pariah group, though tbey
received a lot of-faculty support from a
distance. He remembers some members
who 'were in a particularly precarious
situation without comfort of tenure,
n:ceivins threats,- facio&amp;, possibilitieS

The Faculty 45 played a major role
both in getting police off campus and
influenci ng the Faculty Senate in their
vote to phase out the ROTC. according
to Haynie.
"The absence of ~ 'maiof lli}t~f-l;l

State and Cambodia only pointed to the
contingency of history, disappointing the

Frisch.

.. It's a struggle to work th ings out with

He co nc lud es: " T here 's a twodimensio nal idea that you either agree

The University itself pressed charges
and a lawye r was sent from, Albany.
Words like conspiracy were used by prosec utors who attempted to tie the sit-in
to more violent expressions of the desire
to remove police from campus.
" It was one of the great lessons I
learned politically," •aid Frisch. "When
words like 'criminal' and 'felony' conspir·
acy are used , you really can' win."
Frisch conti nues: ''Going into the trial
we were sure of two things. One. there
was no way in hell we could be convicted . The prosecution lacked basic evidence and there's validity in the American court system. Tw011 WC :knew· we
would be convicted on account of the
community mood."
The group was convicted on April 17

$50,000 in legal defense costs was raised
through personal contributions and
fund·raisers such as poetry n:adings. The
criminal contem pt and additional civil
contempt and trespassing charges were
thrown out later that year by the State
Court of Appeals.
Frisch stated that the demonstrating
stud en ts were "taken by some to be
overprivileged rich kids. No, not on the
whole. Maybe the elite at a Harvard or a
Columbia could do anything and still
inherit the earth. But people just couldn't
accept tbe ·idea of tbe fint child in a

Aside from signing the student

T

be goal is to bring together the
presidents of tbe world's most

issues of higher education, said Padley.
Allhougb tbe details still need to be

The goal is to instill into students that

f'mally, the Congress will set out to
find new and more dl'ective ways of

toward Black people," DeVeaux said .
"We were tear gassed at the Grand
Parade rally in Cape Town the day of
Mandela's release from prison," De
Veaux said. There were a half·miUion
people in attendance at the rally and
some of them had waited up to seven and
one-half hours for Mandela's arrival.
Stewart said that the police "were

aftd used helicopters to shoot at the

crowd ." She added that "the people did
not retaliate against the police but
instead remained non-violent out of
respect for Mandela."
Will the. situation in South Africa
become more peaceful now that
Mandela has been released from prison?
DeVeaux argued that "change will come
if the government is sincere." She added
that "a complete change of the system
will take a long time." And :Stewart,
echoing her colleague's remarks, noted
that "the white goV.:mment perpetuates
the violence of apartheid, and peace will
come only when it ..tops the violence."
The changes in South Africa, said De
Veaux, are part of a global wave of
change. And in South Africa, Stewart
added, Mandela "represents the struggle"
for change as well aS the creation of a
multi-racial and demOcratic nation. 0

merican Pluralism, said Bon asks
students to consider wboW · we
respect America's cultural diversity
through constitutional law." Although
35 percent of the course content comes
from a common text of readings, each
instructor is free to design the remainder
based on his or her own interests. In
order to avoid cultural and racial bias by
instructors , Thorpe noted that all
faculty arc required to attend a one-week
workshop to .. sensitize"' them to all
points of view. Thorpe added that
.. American Pluralism is one of the most
bias·free courses on campus ...
Bono noted that some student s and
facult y on campus have expressed anx·
iety about the new geoeraJ education
proposal. "The proposal has been de·
scribed by some as being 'totalitarian ·
because it limi~ student choice," she
said , adding that the proposal "has been
designed to be as flexible as possible."
According figures supplied by Bono
and Thorpe, the new general education
program shoult!. occupy one-half (64 of
128 credit hours) of a student's undergraduate education.
Students attending the hearing raised
.co~~m~ about the lack of flel&lt;i.!&gt;illtY. of

to

the program. One student noted that
...there is too much structure in the
freshman year of the program," although
be s upported the overall aims of the
proposal. Others raised the ~ue of the
role of "independent studies" within the
new program. "There are plural tracks
within the proposal and it should not be
looked at monolithically," Bono.noplied.
Another student argued that the
apparent lack of flexibility within the
proposal means that "the most dynamic
students may not get involved in independent studies because of the general
education requirements."
This same student questioned the
validity of the UGC proposal by arguing
that students could not pursue a "double
major" under the new ·system. Thorpe
noted that the UGC Curriculum Commince is presently addressing this issue.
Thorpe's infoniial poll of studen\$ in
attendance. showed that only two out of
25 w..-e oppoSed, two viere' in favor, and.
"the rest were .. indifferent." As 1one stu·
dent remarked, "25 people out of t4,00o

This inspiration is part of the " tremendous legacy'" Martin Luth er King

Martin Lu th er King's birthda y "has

recalled a trip s he made tw o years ago to
J a pan .. where the main purpose was to
ce lebrate Mart in Luthe r's King's word

One ol Mart in Luthe r King 's most
1m po n ant cont ributions to civ il rights
was t o secure "our abi lit y to vo te without

King sa 1d . Rca th a King. who grew up in

Voting ga ve blacks "great political

to be elected to 'public office ," said King.
"Today. a black child knows he can

a mayor, or a congressman."
King cited the elections of Governor Walter of Virginia and Mayor Davi&lt;W Dinlc.ins in New York City as imponant
examples.
Although man y co ntend tliat th e Civil
Rig hts Act of 1964 did not constitute an y
real change in th e practice o f racism.
according to King, .. my rhais is th at it

" For thi s reason. it wi ll take yea rs a nd

This lagti mc between lega l change and

King said . "Yet I arg ue that we h ave

King believes that th1 s co m plex it y

The .. increasing expectations of minorities" has changed the focus of the ,
move ment. " We eventually wanted fair

wanted greater panicipation in decisionmaking in all kinds of organizations."
King explained.
For the 1990s. the movement is concerned with ~elected ofrice and political
empowerment,'"' King said . .. After we get
that. we still have one top-of-the-line
issue - economic empowerment. ...
King illustrated this concern ofloday's
minorities wi th an anecdote. King said,
"the other day. a young reporter called
me to ask me if I had been excluded from
membership in a predominantly white
country club .
" I told him that I reall y didn't think be

New security system set for Cary-Farber-Sherman
By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO
Publications Slalt
and security concerns
have prompted the installation
of a new system that limits "
after-hours access to the CaryFarber-Sherman Complex. The system
will go into effect March 6, said Anthony
Campanelli, assistant dean and director
of fiscal affairs for th e U B medtcal
school, which occupies the complex.

S

afety

Students, faculty and staff will wear
photo-I.D. badges with a computer bar
code on the back. To enter the complex
between 7:30p.m. and 6 a. m., or on weekends, people must use one of the four
entrances that have spectal card readers.
These readers are like the devices thallel
bank customer&gt; unlock the door lo use
the automatic teller.
Not only do the pholo-I.D. badges
unlock the door, they register the identity of the person who entered •. the ~oor

he used, and the time. People are asked
to swipe their ca.rds on the way o ut to
register that they've left.
The four doors with card readers are
at the Sherman hand icapped entrance,
the Cary entrance facing the Diefendorf
Annex. the atrium entrance to the CFS
Addition, and the Farber entrance near
Butler Auditorium, facing Baile y
Avenue.
In a few months, an additional card
...:ader will bC added to the Farber
entrance facing the Michael Lot because
lhal section of the building is being used
more, noted Stephen Barry, technical
specialist for electronic security systems
in the Public Safety Department.
For events held in the evening or on weekends, the school will advertise which
entrance the audience should use, Campanelli said.
..There were two reasons for the new
system," Campanelli explained. "First,
th~~ was. ~~ ~a!,ety of the ~ml'lo&gt;:~ .in

the building - so many faculty, staff a nd

instructed not to chall enge a suspicious

students work late at ni ght and on
weekends.
.. And the other reason is, there is a lot

officer. That's good advice for anyC?ne to

of high-tech equipment in this place."
Ca mpanelli noted that there have been
so me thefts a nd defacement of prope rt y.
and one Saturday morning he caught
neighborhood lcids skateboarding through
the corridors and down the shallow steps
of Buller Auditorium.
The Cary-Farber-Sherman Complex
is very large - it bas 82 gro und-level
entrances, noted Barry.
"Doors are continually propped open
.lly people so their buddies can get in, but
this compromises the security of the
whole building," he said.
ublic Safety aides now patrol the'
complex, looking fo r open doors or
suspicious activity. Barry emphasized

P

person, but to call a Public Safety
follow, he added .
There is a trend toward using this kind
of card access system, Barry said.
.. We 're pushing it, .. he said . .. From our
aspect (in Public Safety), it's ludicrous to
leave buildings open after hours."
The Computing Cen ter now has a card
access system.
ln the spring or the s ummer, the
dorms on the South Campus will get a
system simiJar to the medical scbool's,
Barry said . If it works there, systems
probably will be installed in the dorms
on the North Campus.
The new Nitural Sciences Complex.
to be constructed on the spine, will be
buil t with a card access system. -..
•we see it happening in other new
buildings, too," Barry said . "We'd like to
see it used more. It's a viable way of con-

Geri Vetter, another operator.

Most of the tele pho ne numbers in the

time when you handle bet ween 1200 a nd
1500 calls a day.
"The numbers we get asked for the
most are for the sex education dcpanment. Alumni Arena. tbe financial aid
office, and the admissions office," Vett.er
said. "We also get quite a few emergency
calls," Pasternak said. "With most of
them we patch them through imme·

fencing and crew, along with 16 other
sport club teams, arc keeping stride.
Badminton, bowling, cycling, gymnastics and "'ultimate frisbee" are just several
of th e club teams on campus. There arc

Though most of these clubs consist of
undergraduate and graduate students ,
UB faculty and staff members arc welcome to participate in another manner.

"It would help to have someone from
the faculty,~ he added, "who is willing to
give a couple hours of time."
Joe Krakowiak, director of residence

the UB crew teams. Krakowiak initiated
the crew as a club sport at UB six months

"It teaches people how to face challenges in life," said Krakowiak, who once
coached the U.S. national team, "and

challenges.
"For me (rowing) was not only an
enjoyable experience, but it taught me

VanEtten realizes the value of having people from .within the Universi ty

"In fencing, specifically, we have people from the community who come in (to
practice) and fence with us," he said.

Earlier this month a Sports Club Connection was held in Capen lobby. AU the
sport clubs had an opportunity to put on
demonstrations or show videotapes of
their sport. Havi ng all the teams located
in one place did a lot to heighten awarcq,css, said VanEtten.
Eventually, VanEtten would like to sec
such sports as archery, golf' arid horseback riding established as clubs at UB.
"Someone at the Sports Cl ub Connection came up to me and asked if there
was an archery club on campus, .. said
VanEuen. ..There is an archery range

Anyone interested in joinin·g , helping

Hull also is studying the mesolimbic

She cites an experiment in which a
male rat was placed in the middle of an
"X" maze and a female rat .was placed in
one arm of the "X . ~ The researchers
wondered if shutting down the male's
mesolimbic tract would slow his spec&lt;! or
keep him from iunning'1o tbdemi.le:·
They found tbat the male ran to the
female as much as ever, but his speed was
slower. In some cases he just sat in the

D

opamine usually is released from
an axon terminal in one cell, crosses
a gap, or sy napse. between cells, and
binds to one of two kind of receptors in
the post-syoaptic cell These dopamine
receptors - D l and D2 - facilitate or
inhibit a series of enzyme·mediated
changes in the recipient cell that either
increase or decrease the signalling power
of that cell.
"We're exploring which ones (of the
two different kinds of dopamine receptors) are doing what physiologically and
we're also interested where in the brain
dopamine works to promote sexual
activity, as opposed to nausea (a coniman side effect of dopamine agonists)
and motor activity," Hull says.
Altbough quinclorane, ·a specific D2
ag'onist, is now in the third stage of clinical trials as an aphrodisiac. scientists at
Lilly are unsure exactly b.ow it works,
Hull says. "Does the drug make it easier
for males to have an erection?" she asks.
.. Is it easier to have a seminal emission?

L

Under what circumstances is it easier to
have ~n erection or seminal emission? ..
Injections of qu inelorane into th e
medial preoptic area or male rats' brains
delayed the onset of copulation, but
decreased the number of intromissions
- insertion of the penis into the vagina
- required to trigger ejaculation. "It
appeared to impair sexual arousal but
enhance the ejaculatory mechanism,"
Hull says.

Hull does not view it as a con tradiction.
Injections of low doses oft he drug into
the paraventricular nucleus increased
erections: a high dose: in the paravcntricular nucleus o nJy increased seminaJ
emission, she notes.
Therefore, the effects of the drug
depend both on the si te and the dose.
" We think that low doses of quinelorane in the paraVentricularnucleus may
preferentially activate erection. ~hereas
high doses in both sites may shift the
balance towards sympathetically med~
se:~jpal emission,.. she says.
Quinelorane administered clinically to
humans is given in Very low doses.
"We don't have a good understanding
of what produces libido; we don't know
what that is," Hull-admits. "One of ·the
questions we are trying to address with

After 38 years of medical practice,
Buerger retired not long aso because of
long work hours, increasing "'!mpetition
for patients from tbe Millard Ftllmon:
Suburban H os pital, and changing
demographics in the Lockport area.
In addition, it dido' pay to practi"" on
a part-time basis because of. the high
malpractice premiums~ said Buerger.
" Wijen I first started out it cost me
$600 year for insuranl:e; when I left it
was $60,000," Buerger exclaimed.
"I retired and after six months of projects around the house, I bad enough. I
really wanted to do something else," he
said.
Buerger had a lways been interested in
archaeology and had visited the Mesa
Verde and Chaco Canyon archaeological
sites in the American southwest. He a lso had tlte o pportunity to work
on a summer dig with Stuart Scott, associate professo r in anthropology at U)3, at
Old Fort Niagara.

Buerge r's penchant for diverse careers.

in his so phomore class to deliver a bab y.
He was just 19 years old .
"I was booked on ob-gyn and began a
residency at Millard Fillmon: Hospital in
Buffalo," said Buerger. Sometime later
he was called back into service and
served a nine-month stint with the army's
second division in the Korean W&amp;I.
Buerger n:turned home and in 1952
continued his residency with four years
of training in pathology and ob-gyn at
the Meyer Memorial Hospital (now the
Erje County Medical Center) in Buffalo.
He opened a practice in Lockport
because, at that time. there was no practicing obstetrician and Lockport had the
highest maternal death rate in the Westem New York area.
"Maternal mortality was our big focus
at that time because it was still a sizeable
problem." said Buerger.

Funds for the S64.190 a mbOiance wen: raised through the panicipation of a

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

that, 'which is a bis help. Otberwille, the paper·
work would distract us from our central mission,
which is research."
Sponson:d Programs is very much involved
with technology transfer, Zablocki said. "lnVj:ntions from faculty and staff are being received by
our office at a rate of about one per week.
"Some inventions have started whole new
companies, while others have gn:atly expanded
smaller companies and fields of research."
Kaars added that "because of the high level of
activity at UB, which is now accounting for
approximately half of the inventions and licenses
in the entire SUNY system, our office will be hiring a senior technology transfer officer who will
be handling all aspects of the ttchnology transfer
process right ben: on campus."
"This is part of a decentralization program
SUNY is undertaking to enhance our ability to
serve the facult y," Zablocki says. Another facility
involved in technology transfer at UB is the UB
Foundation Incubator.
Ken Riches, director of business incubation for
the UBF. describes three main functions of the
incubator: " We aim to start up new technology
businesses. provide an interface for industry and
the University, and prepare in tellectual property
for commercialization ...
The incubator is home of the TechVenture
Group headed by Tricia Semmelhack. According
to Riches, a number of businesses have been
created from inventions through the

possible, by providing royalty incentives to both
the inventor and his department."

T

he relationship between UB and its inventors
is markedly different from n:lations in the
private sector, adds Semmelhack.
.. In the commercial setting, the inventor frequedlly signs over his rights to his invention to
the company, which is interested in maximizing
profits. When:as the university, inten:sted mon:
in technological development, owns the patent
rights to the invention, but, in return , the inventor receives substantial rewards ....
Among those benefits an inventor could
receive are career enhancement and visibility in
his or her fteld, Semmelhack mentions.
To get an invention patented , the inventor
must first disclose it in"writing to the University,
Semmelhack explains. "Then, if it is patentable, a
patent application may be filed in Washington.
This task should be attended to promptly,
because patent rights are fragile . There's only a
limited period of time within which the patent
application can be filed after the invention has
been disclosed ...
Sem melh ack notes that there is a distinction
bet ween patent rights and copyrighlS. "When an
inven tor gets his inve nti on patented through th e
university, he signs over his ownership in
exc hange for royalties. When copyrighting a
rcpon on the inventio n. the inventor owns the

turbulent waters of social and

Simply put, are black women's rights

U.S. Constitution and Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964?
Scales-Trent an Ulociate professor in

detail in an article published recently by
the Harvard Civil Righu - Civil U~r·

Titled "Black

article notes that,

UGC curriculum is a sound blueprint for the future
By BARBARA J. BONO
rofessor Nicolas Goodman's
characterization of the
proposed UGC curriculum is
si mply incorrect ( Reponer
"Viewpoints." 2/ 8/90). The UGC
curriculum is prospective, not
retrospective; it is a curriculum that
looks toward the next century, not
backwards to the 1950s. It is designed
to ed ucate a pluralistic student body,
not a cultural elite.
The passage he quotes on "the
history of ideas that have shaped the
Western world" is a quotation from an
earlier curricular refonn movement
hen: at UB. The UGC proposal then
goes on to describe its aln:ady·piloted
.. World Civilization" course as .. one
that can provide as broad a theater as

The history of the: evolution of th e
co urse proposal in the UGC is, as a
matter of fact, the history of its
evolution away from a potentially
narrower focus on the history of ideas
in western civilization, and toward
these broader cultural aims. Teaching
Plato. despite Professor Goodman's
repeated invocations of his name as
characterizing the&lt;eoursc, is never
mandated - although his worlui might
be taught, together with the Koran, the
Mayan Popul Vu. skiUs in map
reading, analysis of domestic
arc hitecture, and a host of other
cultural a nifacts a nd tools. (lbe course
is co mprised of a common textbook
which consti tutes approximately 35
percent of the reading materials, and a
variety of other materials broadly
representative of world culture and
selected by the individual instructors of
the course, constituting abo ut 65
percen t of its content.)

P

I

f the UGC course in "World
Civilization" acknowledges cultural
diffen:nces on a global scale, the newl y·
piloted UGC course in "American
Pluralism" is explicitly din:cted at
creating .. an intense intellectual
awareness of the enriching aspects of
cultural pluralism as [eSpec! for
diffen:nce as weJI as of the oegaLive
conseq uences of pn:judicial exclwion."
It sets as its central problem the
questio n of bow we tiie to n:spect Lbe
cultural diversity of·.tllis country within
a consti tutioohl 'fiM'iil!work of equal
rights. It explon:s this problem through
a rich array of primary documents the Constitution, court c:uea, n:cords of
cultural practices, autobiographies, ·
ftlms, etc. - without predetermining its

answer. Once again, an anthology
evolved by the instructors constitutes
35 percent of the course materials,
while 65 percent of the course materials
remain·- within the basic guidelines of
the course - at the teacher's discrct.ion.
In light of these foundational UGC

But what we're seeking here at UB is

"The UGC curriculum is prospective, not
retrospective; it is a curriculum that looks
toward the next century, not backwards to
the 1950s. It is designed to educate a
pluralistic student body, not a cultural elite.
It gives a blueprint, if not all the answers."
counes, which an: already under way
u pilots, it is difficult to see the
proposed UGC curriculum as nostalgic
and homogenizing. as Professor
Goodman slates - especially when
they are backed up by a piloted
freshman seminar program that stresses
critical thinking skills, and followed by
a prOposed science sequence whose aim
is the critical understand ing of scientific
practice and -its consequences, an Arts
and Letters / Social Science distribution
offering that st~ the diversity of '
th ese disciplines. and a senior
integrative course that aims to forward
a critical comparison of the humanities
and science or a critical understanding
of one's disciplinary major.
The UGC curriculum is coherent in
its view of the stages of students'
intellectual development with n:spect to
various disciplines and its self~nscious
focus on method. It also has various
internal coherencies of content and
method, as, say, the global diversity of
the " World Civilization" course is
focused in the national diversity of the

to redress this unbalance.
It is the n:sult of years of elfon at

for basic literacies, broad cultural
know ledge, and critical and integrative

piloted by many of the most concerned
and self-c ritical faculty and th~ finest
teache rs at this Uni versity. It and its
supponing documents (available at the
UGC. the UG L and the SEL) deserve a
careful reading. Where it is unclear or
confusing it deserves careful discussion
and modification - from Lbe general
framing to its specific parts - not
wholesale attack. Our experience with
the piloted ponions of the program
indicate th at it will be refined and
improved in practice.
We will never make general education here at UB better if we don\ work
at it; we will never gain the resources to

Team studies 'bugs' that may cause ear infections
By ED KIEGLE

Timothy Murphy
and his

Reporter StaN

colleagues are
using a $1 .4
million grant tor
basic research
that may
someday lead
to a vaccine
against inner
ear infections
and certain
iespiratory
infections.

T

imothy Murph y n:fer.; to the
subjec t of his re searcb as'
" bugs," somewhat surpruing
for a med ical scientist. The
" bugs" that Murphy studies are actually
bacteria that an: being implicated as a
significant cause of inner ear and certain
respiratory infections.
Murphy. an associate professor of
medicine and microbiology, directs a
team of researchers who were awarded a
S 1.4 millio n grant to stud y the bacterium
Branhamella catarrhatis. in an effort to
lea rn more about the proteins responsible for its virulence. The researchers
hotx that their work will lead to a vacc.:me to preve nt these infections.
"U nti l abo ut ten years ago, we didn't
th ink tha t Bra nhamella catarrhalis was
an important disease-ca usi ng organism."
Murph y said .
However, the organism is being isolated with increasing frequency in
patie nts with otitis media (OM), a form
of inner ear infection.
According to Murphy, tbe infection
strikes young childn:n. "About half of
childn:n before the age of six have bad
otitis media," be said.
The bacterium is also responsible for
some respirat9ry tract infections iit
adults with chronic bronchitis or empby5ema. "Normally, adult&amp; aren' susceptible to the infections," explained Murphy.
Tho!IC who suffer from the respiratory
infections cawed by the bacteria suffer
from a pre-existing respiratory prob~m.
or have a "weakened immune syste~ " as
are some people receiving chemotherapy
treatment.
The virus is the third most common
cause of otitis media, res ponsi ble for
a bout 20 percent of the cases . .. In studies
done in the '50s and '60s, they weren'
culturing the bug," Murphy said . "But in
the '70s and particularly in the '80s, when
middle ear fluid was cultured , about 20
pe rcent of th e cases were B. catarrhalis ...
He said th at th e bacteria may somehow have changed , increasing its potential as a cause of disease . .. 1 think we
should figure out wh at about the orga-

nism now causes infection, study the
molecules, and look at the virulence factor.; in the samples from the '50s and
'60s," Murphy said.

8

y comparing the two result&amp;, it may
be possible to find a change that has

occurnd over time in the bacterium's
ability to infect.
In a , number of pn:liminary experiments, the outer membrane of SO strains
of the ' bacterium fro it! diverse clini~
and geographic sources were isolated
and the proteins prese nt in them were
characterized .
'
" We looked and found that the patterns were almost identically different
from o ther ( n o n-i nfectious) gramnegative bacteria." Murphy said. The
job, then , was to discover which of the
protei ns ex posed on th e surface are
involved in the bacteri um's ability to
ca use infection .
The thrust of the current stud y is to do
j ust that. The team is using monoclonal
antibodies directed at the membrane:

proteins to try to deduce which proteins
are involved in infection. Monoclonal
antibodies an: molecules that will react
only with specific proteins on the mem~
brane, and the interactions enable the
team to find the exact proteins they are
looking for.
"We would use modem molecular
bi logy Jecbniques to identify the gene
that codes for the protein and predict the
exact amino acid sequence of )be protein," · he said. The techniques ..111ould
allow the researchers to discover the spe·
cific chemicaJ composition of the proteins responsible for the bacterium's abillity to ca use infection.
.. We can use the amino acid seq uence
to design a vacc ine," Murphy added.
" We may be able to design a protein to
interfere with the vi rulence factors
(disease-causing proteins). then dete rmine if it will p ~otect against infection ...
Murph y said that the de velopment of
a vaccine may be fi ve to te n years away.
'" First we have to stud y the organism in a
systematic way." he ex plai ned . Additional studies wou ld have to be con-

ducted to insure that the vaccine is
effective.
The other memben of the team an:
Howard Faden, professor of pedialrics and
Anthony Campagnari, n:Jearch assistant
professor. Michael Apicella, professor of
medicine and microbiology, and David
Rekosb, associate professor of biochemistry and microbiology are consuhants
on the pJ¥1ject.
Murphy remarked that Faden's
n:searcb in pediatrics played "a very
important role" in the study. Part of his
research involves the st udy of children
who suffer from otitis media., severaJ of
whom he is following successively over
th e ye ars to find what antigens they are

UB profs discuss scientific attitudes on math, sex··
By DAVID C. WEBB and
ARTHUR PAGE
News Bureau Staff

wo UB researchers this week
addressed the annual meeting
of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
in New Orleans.
Nicolas D . Goodman, professor of
mathematics, suggested that the tr~di­
tional distinction between matbematocal
theories and scientific theories should be
dropped , and Vern L. Bullough, UB clinical professor of nur.;ing and SUNY dtstinguisbed professor, warned of opmoon
that's masked as scientific fact in the
study of human sexuality.
Traditionally, mathematical theories
have been thought of as logical deductions from axioms obtained by n:flection
on concepts, while scientific theories
have been taken as empirical conclusions
from physical experiments or observations.
However tbiB traditional distinction
should be dropped, according to Goodman,.who spoke Tuesday ~n "M~~­
ing the Philosophy of MathematiCS.
the AAAS meeting in New Orleans.
"The tnditional distinction between
lop aod 1118thematica on the one band
aod the natural aciences on · --other

T

should be dropped."
Goodman says.
~ .. A mathematical theory is a
scientific theor y
like any other. no
more certain bu t
also no more devoid of content.
.. Mathematical
theories are constructions chosen
to solve so me collection of problems
while fitting smoothly into the other
theoretical commitments of the mathematician wh o formulates them," he says.
Th~ traditional view of the natun: of
mathematics is that mathematics is the
pun:ly rational study of immaterial
forms. This view goes back to Plato and
is still current in Some mathematics
department&amp; today.
However, mathematical computations
an: similar in principal to physical experiment&amp;, according to Goodman. In both
cases, the results are determined ahead of
time by the nature of reality, and the
results of both must be verified by other
researchers, in cue erroneous n:sults
were obtained.
"We must RCOgniu the ltrOJ18 emi&gt;iri.:..

A graduate of !faJVard Univer.;ity.
Goodman earned his master's degn:e and
doctorate in mathematics from Stanford
Un.iver.;ity. He became a faculty member
at UB in 1969 and was appointed a full
professor in 1989.
He 5erves as an at-large member of the
U.S . National Committee for the International Union of History and Philoso phy of Science .

T

he stud y of huma n sexuality and
gender is a .. mine field " waiting for
unwary scientists, a UB science historian
warned Monday. The major danger.;,
noted Bullougb, are a tendency to generalize new research findings and .. opinion
masked as scientific fact ."

Bullough, UB clinical professor of
nur.;ing and SUNY distinguished professor, focused on "The Uses and Abuses of
History in the Study of Sex and Gender"
in a symposium on human sexuality at
the AAAS meeting.
"What we most need to be awan: of,"
Bullough said, "is bow much we an: prisoners o( our own traditional assumptions when it comes to matters of social
policy.
~Ji is important for scientists to be
cautious about their generalizations
When it COIDOI to ICX and gender iuuea.

"Traditionally, science bas been a
male-&lt;lominated field and we have interpreted things to benefit the male," be
added. "One of the most disheartening
aspects of going tbrollsh some past writings which passed )fit,. oeience is how
opinion was mas l{e(l as scientific fact ,
usually to the detriment of the female ."
Bullough noted the example of
Edward H. Clarke "who in his eagerness
to prevent women from attending Harvard, wrote that women by the nature of
their physiological processes could not
develop their intellectual ability. as weU as men." While Clarke was a 19th century physician, BuUougb said similar
.. prejudices" were present in scientific
literature as recently as the mid-1950s. ·
He added: "Science may be 'value neutral,' but ~entis~~ not and it is up to
tbe skeptical histonan to lceep remin&lt;ling
us that the nature of society changes and
data can be n:interpn:ted in diffen:nt
ways."
BuUough also stressed-the need for &amp;

readi~ even textbooks with which I
pers~~ disagree. The parqraph, cited by
Profeabr Barry is a useful vehicle for
i ntrodu~ing a significant issue that deserves
discussion and opinion..
On several occuions during the past year
the American Pluralism Subcommittee has
considered Professor Barry's concerns about
the course. I take many of these to be:
thoughtful and well-intentioned , and I have
done my best to rapood to these in designing
my section of the coune. Indeed , although
Profeuor Barry has oot scrvc:d on the subcommittee, it m.iaht be &amp;~~propriate to give
credit to bil efforts alona with those of many.
many otber faculty in tbe desip aDd implementation of this coune.

AaWat

Feeling stressed out?
You've got lots of company
By WENDY BROWN
Reporter Staff

A

h the Ide of college students!

One must envy that sensation

of living on the edge, diving
from one exam into the next
paper, pumping up with gallons of coffee
in order to keep the bizarre hours of the
va mp ires with whom they cohabit,
survi ving until the weekend and bar

hopping until Sunday, getti!lg up to start
the cycle all over again. What could
harm these young folk, so full of life and
energy7

Stress. Its effects can be emotional or
physical, resulting from excessive pres-

sures and problems placed upon the
individ ual. What kinds of stressors affect
students?
Survey says: school.
"Tests," said Debbie Wilson, a senior.
Last semester she had .. three exams. two
papers, and two labs due all in four
days!"
Laughed one student (who declined to
be named in case his comments should
cause more stress), "Well, there's the
paper stress, and then there's girlfriend
stress, and then there's test stress. Yeah,
those are my top three - it's bell."
"Schoo~ work, men, bills," listed
senior Becky Forbes.
"Stress?" queried •• Ca!ey Appel, a
senior. "Other than having to band in my
project at midni&amp;ht, no."
Michael L. Rau1in, administrative
director of the Psydlological Services
Center, would like to take away the myth
that stress is bad. "Most people think of
stress u beiDa negative - that's anythin&amp; but true."
He points to the fact that very few stu. dcn!t.t or faculty, 'write papen at the
biliailin&amp; of tbe wben they .
brie' plenty of time. "MOlt people actu-

ally perform better under pressure."
.. When something makes me worry ...
says senior Jeff Butler, " I don' do anything. I avoid stud yi ng . .. put it off until
the night before so th at I have to stay up
all night. "

A

s for the physical impact of stress,
Raulin notes that the human body
is fully capable of handling stress, "if it's
not too long, toO constant, or too
severe." The negative effects in these
cases are stomach ulcers, tension headaches, and other kinds of psychosomatic
disorders. •
"The body will handle it just fine as
long as you get some relief - get away
from it periodica)ly." Raulin suggests
that for some people getting together
with friends, athletic activities, reading a
book or watching TV can help.
What Raulin emphasized is that time
to the self is important in relieving stress.
Another aid may be the stress management workshops offered through the
University. Life Workshops will present
another workshop on the subject, March
20, led by Mary H. Gresham.
So how do most students cope? Drinking, many students replied.
"You can go out and get drunk,"
agreed Dr. Raulin. "Y eab, that works
well - unfortunately, too well. " He
JX!inted out that there are negative side
effects to alcohol and drug we. Noting
that drugs are illegal, be added that ak:ohol is an addictina drug. "We know it
kills brain cells, it's bard on the liver."
"I get into (igbts with my bowemates,"
laughs Forbes. "It relieYoo the tension."
"At times I get irritated eaaily," admitted Appel. "I'll just - throw tlilngs
tll'OIIIId."

.

If you haven't foUDd a aood way to ·
cope, don't feel too bad. Survey says:
you're aot aloac.

i
Facial disflJW'CtneDt is only one oip.e
many "special inlereau" AlbiDo 1w
undertaken since coming to UB. She ltill
abides by the "I didn't want to IWt'ow
myself" philosophy abe held u an
unde_rgraduate.
•

Her many roles don't
clash, but keep her busy

When the dean of the School of Architecture and Planning left in 1987, Albino
agreed to oerve as interim dean until the
search for a replacement could be
completed.
"I welcomed the opportunity - I
gladly took that on and enjoyed that as
much as any administrative (position).
They're an extremely creative group of
people. I learnecl a lot about their discipline and attended as many oeminan and
lectures as possible while there."
Indeed, Albino values any opportunity
to interact with other disciplines. There
was one such opportunity she wu "particularly reluctant" about, however.
That was when she was asked to oversee UB's athletic upgrade when it was
fmt initilted. "I felt that I knew a lot less
about athletics than teaching and
research," she said, even though as a student at the Univenity of Texas she
looked forward to football games.

• By DEBBIE JAKAL.A
Reporter Staff

W

hen she was appointed
associate provost in 19&amp;4,
Judith Albino became "'the
highest ran king female
administrator at the University," accordin g to a Un ivers ity News Bureau press
release.
She is still the highest ranked woman
admin istrator at UB, and though she is
"ware of this, it is not something she
wan ts to be singled out for.
" I don' like the notion of being seen as
"the woman,' " Albino said in an interview . .. I'm very much aware I need to
represent the concerns and issues of
wo men when we have all male groups
working on issues. It's important to
remember that responsibility."
Albino, a professor of behavioral
sciences, was named dean of the Graduate School this past March. She bas
offices in Capen Hall and on the South
Campus. Though holding both positions
is timc ~o nsuming, Albino said she
cann ot see herself giving up either of
t hem .

"I'm no! (QO, both campuses) ""er.y
day .. . I average about seven days a week,"
she explained. " I spend some weekend
ti me (in the office) and an evening or
two. I go bac k and forth between the two
(jo bs). That is how I want to spend my
time. That is what I want.
"I like to teach and I also like to be an
administrator, .. she continued ... That
sbouldn' be seen as contradictory - just
busy."
Albino's latest appointment is to the
American Ps ychological Association
(APA) and there is no doubt in her mind
she is ready for it. She was elected treasurer of tbe APA for a fi ve-year term that
began last month. As treasurer Albino
will be responsible for an a nnual budget
of S40 million.
According to Alb in o, the federal
government turns to the 85,000-member
according to Albino, the federal
government turns to the 85,000-member
APA for advice on social as well as psychological issues. She explained that the
APA 's most recent undertaking was a
paper for the Surgeon General on the

psychological aide of abortion.
When the qut.ltion of her interest in
social issues iJ raised , Albino FU a alight
smile on her faa:. "I can' help that (my
interest)," she said. ·As a bealth psychologist my personal and professional
concerns overlap."
They may overlap, but Albino makes a
point of never narrowing her concerns she is always looking for more opportunit ies to broaden herself.
Univenity Provost William Greiner
could not stress strongly enough how
valuable Albino is to the Univenity.
" She is one of the best people I've ever
worked with, " Greiner said. •she is a
very deeply dedicated member of the
faculty and is sensitive to other people.
She is willing to put herself on the line

for faculty and students of this
Univenity."
·
Albino's ability to relate to and understand otben stems from an interest sbe
developed while in graduate school. A
journalism major at tbe Univenity of
Texas at Austin, she started her graduate
work in journalism but was interested in
learning the psychological variables in
readership and bow people get news.
" I started taking psychology courses, "
Albino said. "There was this one class I
wanted to take but you couldn' enrofu o
it unless you were a degree candidate."

A

lbino went on to earn her doctorate
in educational psychology. She is a
member of the faculty of the Department

U llookec! forward to football Saturdays liecause I bad the library to
myself," she said with the slight southern
drawl that siill marks her speech. After
undertaking tbe r;sponsibility of getting
UB's athletic upgrade into motion she
said she has "developed a healthy tolerance for sports."
"It was exciting ... ! looked at what
we 're doing and what is going on around
the country in athletics .. .! learned more
about sports." She still sits on the Intercollegiate Athletic Board and is delighted
to see the wa y the upgrade has
"blossomed."
The dean of the Graduate School bas
many Visions of graduate ecucation at
UB. She said graduate education is
changing in this country and a decline in
enrollment is expected over the next ten
years. Within the next year or - two
Albino hopes to have shaped a vision for
graduate education at this Univenity.
Her success in other areas leaves little
doubt she will not fail in this endeavor.
However, Albino stressed that any
acco mplishment made at this Univenity
is not an ind ividual endeavor.
"A job never gets done alone - you
never do anything by yourself," she said.
"The administration can shape a situation, but it is tbe faculty ~! does the

n addition to likely being detrimental

tbe epMimiology of pstric cancer.

~.and co~ is publiabed in

Based on extensive interviews with 293
patienu with gastric cancer and
carefuUy-matched controls, it showed
"substantial reductions in risk were
associated with ingestion of carotene ... as
well as with increased use of low
temperature food storage."
Vegetables, some of them rich in
carotene, identified by tbe UB researcbers
as decreasing risk were celery, cucumbers,
carrots, green peppers, tomatoes and
onions.
Noting that the incidence of gastric
cancer bu dropped Mdrastically" in
recent yean, tbe researchen said "'the
promulption of preventive medicine
recommendations is less urgent than
formerly.
•O,rtainJy, howevet, limiting caloric
especially fat, limiting sodium,

intake,

and increasing intake of vegetables,
particularly thooe containing carotene,
are suggested as steps in tbe direction of
inhibiting risk of stomach cancer. The
same may be said for use of refrigeration.
" A number of otber cance,., such as
cancer of tbe colon and lung, as weU as
cardiovascular pathologies, might also
be controlled by these dietary suggestions."
The UB researchen found a doseresponse increase in risk with increases in
ingestion of total number of calories, as
weU as total carbohydrates, fats and
protein.
"Consistent with our finding of
increased risk associated with fats and
protein, wu ait increase in risk
associated with increases in ingestion of
meats," tbey said.
The iUearcben also noted "a number
of high-ctarcb foods were auociated with

increased risk of gas!ric cancer, including
potatoes, polJito chips, french fries, peas,
rice and pasta."
Graham said improvements in the
refrigeration of food since tbe early
1900s may be a major factor in the drop
in gastric cancer.
"Both refrigeration and carotene could
inhibit oxidation products which could
act as carcinogens in tbe stomach," tbe
researcbers noted.

tamping and grooving arc
necessary nutrients, according
to Charlie Keil, professor in the
American Studies Depanment
and a specialist in ethnomusicology the study of music that is outside the
Eu ropean art tradition. His cxpertjsc in
the musics of the world has led him in
many directions - even to the creation
of a unique class and a popular AfroLatin band.
Since his chilghood, K.eil bad been
interested in the origin of musical styles,
which arc inextricably tied to the societies and cultures from which they
develop.
..1 grew up in an all-white
town with a population of about 20,000, ..
Keil said, recalling his teen-age years.
" My mom had records by Duke Ellington and Fats Waller, and I listened to the
music, but I couldn' find the people who
were the origi nators of it."

S

Polka to Afro-pop: Ke_
il
keeps stomping, grooving

"I came to Buffalo,
and I decided to stay
with African music,
but I got curious
why don't white
people have more
blues and soul?"
Then Keil discovered
polka music.
As a result , he studied the roots of
black American music. and even tuaiJy
wrote a boo k on the to pic, caJied Urban
Blues, in 1966.
" I wrote the book on blues, and that
got me interested in Africa," Keil
explained . He went on to write a book
on that subject, called nv Song, which
won the 1980 Chicago Folklore Prize. "I
came to Buffalo, and I decided to stay
with African music, but I got curious why don't white people have more blues
and soul?"
Then Keil discovered polka music:
" When I found polka I wu amazed at
the power and the vitality and the
groove, it bas a powerful push." He spent
the put IS yean studying polka music,
and the project expanded into two books
on the subject, which are in the process
of publication.
"There is no. music that doean 't repreaent a whole social history," Keil
remarked. "A musical style is the essence
or quin_tessenoe of a history of . ~
mteracuon. Studymg any mus1c mVItcs
you to UDderstand the culture, history,
and the process of its development "This

K

eil sat in with tbe baod Feb. 10 at
tile Lizzard Ball, a danc:e pany that
raises funds for Citizen's Action and the
Buffalo Greens, of which Keil is an active
member.
"The Lizzard Ball started as a parody
of the bigb-societ}"'Biizzard Ball,'" K.eil
said. " We wanted to give people an inexpensive alternative to dance and have
fun." The Blizzard Ball eventually faded
away but for the past 12 years, Keil
noted, "the Lizzard continued to crawl
on."
Keil's faith in the power of music is
embodied in his Afro-Latin Musical
Paraxis class. " In fact, everybody bu the
capability to be a musician and to make
inspiring music, but that bu been denied
the majority of people," Keil said.
"Music is phased out of us around the
tTme we are six tO nine years old , and
kids want to be out moving and grooving, we tell them to sit at their desks all
day and study the three R 's."
The class allows unique interaction
between the participants, who play various percussion instruments and learn
the nature of#rhytbms and drumming.
"Everybody listens to everybody else,
and they have to simultaneously respond
to each other," Keil remarked.
He said that his drumming classes
provided him with great satisfaction, and
that the classes often run beyp nd the
scheduled time because "students bate to
leave."
K.eil tied the success of blending politics, &amp;usic and scholarship to the importance of the " play principle." "You are
called a L11dclite if·you are a follower of
Ned Ludd, who threw monkey wrenches
into stocking machines to protest the
mechanization of labor," be said. " But
ludert is also Latin for 'play.' So I am a
Luddite in two ways."

T

Charlie' Keil, professor of American Studies, is at
home w~h many instn:Jrnents.
is what K.eil studies as an etlmomusicologist.
He is one of the founders of tbe local
band Outer Circle Orchestra, which bas
bad crowds bopping to an Afro-pop
groove since iu CteitiOd iii tile early 70s.
The band's .Mro-pop' repertoire
resulted from the feeling that "white
people have been ripping ofT black styles
for tbe put 200 yean forcing AfricanAmericans to dig furtber into their roots,

tudent academic achievement
in the University's lhne-yearold Malaysian Cooperative
Educational J&gt;rosram bas been
graded as "remarkable."
This useument,•bllied on cumulative
grade point averqa (CGPA) and other
statistical evidence, is contained in a report by Bruce S. Morp.n, the proaram's
associate director for academic affain.
The report IIOICd,
eUmplc, that

of atudy in Malaysia, iDc:ludina an Eqlisb lanBuale "bridF program," to qualify for a UB associate de.-, with
further study for advanced dqROS at
collqes and lllliwnities in the U.S.
Over the lhne-year Perlod covered by
the report, a total of 1,102 Malaysian
students have matriculated
"Given the fiaoroua iJB Curricula and
the expected problems the stude_nu
encountered in adjuating to a new educational acttin&amp; "the Morpn report noted,
"their academic performanoe in tbe past
three yean bas been remarkable."
The mean CGPA for the lhne-&gt;e'

going back to African-based styles. So
we toaid 'let's do Afro-pop.' The music is
more and more in o~~~~elves, there is
more rompin1 stomping music in the
traditions; tbe fanber back you go the
better it gets."
Keil played electric bass for the band,
as ·well as some percussion, but basn'
played with the band for the past year or
so, be said. "I have been playing comet a
little bit every day," Keil added. "I

be global environmental outlook of
tbe Greens also plays a pan in Keil's
attitude toward life and teaching. "These
are crucial times and the Greens haven't
c;ome along any too soon." be remarked.
"Part of the Green movement is inclusiveness - everything tonnecls to everything else. It is politics in termJ of ecology, balance, a ~olvinl ecosystem,
and no issue is unimportant politically."
"People can'). imqine ,')What . they
would do in tbeir free time ..,bea they are .•
not in front of tbe TV or I&gt;O:iid a car,"
be added. "People are afraid of their
leisure time, afraid of layin1 baclt:: and
banging out convening and telling stories to each other."
.
In a ve~ ~us wa~, bavinl fUll is
necessary f¥Aliealtby life: " Danl:cs are
as important as demonstntions," Keil
asserted. Hopefully, as long u Charlie
Keil is atill at the University, be can keep

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

.G811e but not forgotten

University's missing equipl)l.ent ~ay yet be found, Snyder says
By JEFFREY TREBB
Reponer Statf

UB's missing equipment
may simply ·be misplaced.
Although the latest audit of
University property by the
state controller's office
claimed that as much as $2
million was missing from
the campus, University
Controller Leonard Snyder
disputes that amount.
Snyder stresses that most
equipment still unaccounted
for may be on campus and
attributed the losses to
record keeping inaccuracies.
The audit completed in 1988 and
released late last year attempted to locate
100 sample items of equip ment worth
over $200.000. Of the 100. a total of 95
Items we~ finally found . ahhough 34
were said to be misplaced and not in
their ··reponed location ... Based on this
search. the state office warned that too
much equipment was missi ng and thereby vulnerable to undetected theft or loss.
Snyder said the perceived gravity of the
situation changes with the phrasing. "If
an item is not in the location marked. it
is suddenly transformed into ' missing',"
he said. "'That doesn't mean we have no
idea as to its whereabouts. It just means
the system isn' to.tally updated."
U 8 inventory =ords are fed into a
Property Control System database in
Albany, Snyder explained . "But beeause
the method is not interactive and is
updated in batch. it doesn' always
reflect what it's supposed to reflect."

H

e continued: "The University is ·a
dynamic enterprise attempting to
utilize equipment in an optimal fashion
and the movement makes it a struggle to
maintain the record system," he
continued.

Computer equipment is frequently moved. which plays havoc with record keeping, Leonard Snyder says.

"Even if a computer has been moved
two doors away, the record~ are already
out of date until papers -~ filled nut.and
the information loaded in o the Property
Control System," he said.
Snyder pointed .out 1tbat the s\ate

FSEC looks at drop/add woes,
proposed changes for UGC
By JEFFERY L JACKSON
Aepo&lt;ter Staff

C

ontinuing woes about registration drop / add, student
response to the Undergraduate College's proposed changes
in the general education curricblum for
students in the arts and sciences, and an
audio-visual presentation on the World
University Games (WUG) were among
the topics of last week's Faculty Senate
Executive Committee (FSEC) meeting.
To address these issues, FSEC chair William Miller invited representatives from
both the Undergraduate and Graduate
Student Associations to attend the
meeting.
According to Molly Ellen Brennan,
academic affairs director for the Undergraduate Student Association (SA), the
registration and drop/ add process continues to be a "problem." Many students
cannot get into classes of their choice
during the pre-registration period, she
said. "Students camping out in front of
Alumni Arena to get into line for drop /
add does not make UB look good,"
Brennan said.
Brennan proposed that the University
switch to separate drop and add lines to
..eliminate the waiting time and increase
the number of classes available." While
Brennan and others suggested that the
drop/ add process is one of "mechanics,"
Provost Williani Greiner argued that lhe
problem may be a result of "overenrollment in terms of classes and facilities
available."
The. FSEC also canvassed student
reaction to the proposed changes in the
general education curriculum put forth
by the Undergraduate College (UGC).
The proposal is currently on the table for
discussion. Miller noted that revisions
will take place over a four-week period.
- Onoe this process is completed, ·the
proposal will be aubmitted to the full
Faculty Senate for approval.
Discuaion.at lut week's meet.in&amp; centered on 'tbe need for cbangea to tbe
general education cwriculum. .Greiner,

leaves a lot of people queasy." And Pe1er
Gold, assistant vioe provost for undergraduate education, noted that "!he
UGC proposal is better able to monilor
the task of keeping track ~f the general
education curriculum."

tudent representatives and some
senators remained skeptical. Nicolas
Goodman of Mathematics retponded lo
Greiner's ugument, saying "'some faculty
are not made queasf about this issue."
And the students themselves expressed
conoem that they will no longer be able
to choose courses according to their
interests.
This argument was raised in connection with the UGC proposal to require
all students in the arts and scienoes to ·
enroll in two courses, World Civilization
and American Pluralism. Goodman
asked the Faculty Senate why these
courses should be required of all students. In reponse, Orville Murphy of
History said the World Civilization
course is necessary ... to give students a
sense abo~t different cultures and
societies."
He added that many students Mremain
ignorant about these topics." And ans~cring Goodman •s question on the
course requirements, Murphy stressed
that Mwe need to capture students long
enough to teach them some basic skills,
especially research and writing."
Some senators, notably Goodman,
said that the UGC proposal should not
be presented to the FSEC as a "!alee it or
leave it" proposition. John Thorpe, vioe
provost for undergraduate education,
wants "positive and informed input"
from the University community. It was
announced thai ·a bearing on the UGC
proposal will be held on Feb. 20 in tbe
Talbert Senate Chambers. Thorpe
reported that the bearing w,ill be of interest for ttudents.
Ronald Stein, vioe president for Univenity relationt, reported on tbe current
ttatut of tbe World· Univenity Games.
Stein taid that U 8 hu hired an international marlceting colltllltant to negOtiate
for television rights to tbe pmet, tcbeduled for 1993. Of interest to ttudents,
Stein added that tome 20,000 voluntcen

..The Unive rsi ty is n't a military camp. a
secret governme nt installation : an
atomic energy plant or even a pnvate
industry," Snyder concluded . " It's a
wide-open educational institution and
control is difficult to establish."
This seems borne out by two recent
well - publicized theft s. Mo re than

soft.;are was stolen by U B engineering
student Afshar Sadaghiany before his
arrest last May . And S4,000 of compu1er

used in conjunction with electronic monitoring and card access security have
been quite effective . allowing only four

Laura Mangan, admini·

UB Human Rights Center, described
Sunday's release of jailed African
National CoQgress leader Nelson
Mandela after 27 years of imprisonment.
Originally from England, Mangan
spent seven years in Soutb Africa before
coming to Buffalo in 1989. In England,
she was employed at tbe BBC where she
worked in the World Service Africa
division. After studying African history,
Mangan decided "to travel tbrough East
Africa and eventually ended up in South
Africa.
In South Africa, she landed a position
as assistant director for the Cent.:r for
Applied ugal. Studies at the University
of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.
That center's primary function was to
initiate test cases challenging South
Africa's system of apartheid. MAt. the

Kunz eltplained. "Now we have just the
opposite situation to which we still have
not fully adjusted."
As a result of this pattern shift. several

A

and economic proble!IIJ that
face its black community,
according to a U B study released this

IIDI1'0ib
I would like to call the l.ltentioa of ~
Univenity community to the opportusiity that
or belr)inJ oew euUa:ranu from the
Soviet Union set aoc1imated to life itt Buffalo.
One or the areat.est DeCd.t is for ooa.vcnation

week.
Unemployment, low wages and dectining participation in the labor force are
the basis of the serious situation that
affects the city's African-American citizens, the study maintains.
The study by UB's Center for Applied
Public Affairs St~dies , " AfricanAmericans and Rise of the PostIndustrial City: The Case of Buffalo,
1940 to Present," recommends the creation bf a ..developmental zone" on Buffalo's East Side where
1 a variety of pro; grams to taclcle these
I problems can be
' coordinated and ·implemented.
· The success of this
:zone will depend on
. a working partnership among business,
government and the
' black community ,
adds Henry Louis
'Taylor, Jr., director
of the Center for
Applied Pubtic Affairs
Studies, who beaded
the study. A coatilion of these community leaden would
raise money. lead
and coordinate these efforts.
The study was commissioned by the
Buffalo Urban League and the Buffalo
Common Council to try to determine
bow the structural changes in Buffalo's
economy and tht emergence of a metropolitan city have affected the economic,
social and political life of AfricanAmericans in the city, says Taylor, an
associate professor of American studies
at UB.
The multidisciplinary st udy is a collection of essays on the work, residence.
housing, education, crime and quest for
community among black Buffalonians.
It is the most comprehensive; investigation of a post-1940 black community
ever undertaken. While there have been
studies of the post-1 940 African American community in the U.S., there
have been no major multidisciplinary
studies of a single black community,
Taylor says.
The study is particularly important, be
adds, because it examines the black
community in a medium-size city. Most
studies of the post-1940 AfricanAmerican community bave focused
primarily on cities with black populations of 500,000 to more than I million.
"The problem with these studies is that
most African Americans do not live in
such cities; they tive in medium-size aild
small cities," be says. "Therefore, the
descriptions of black communities and
the public policy recommen,d ations
based on them can be very misleadiDg. ~
The UB study concludes-that Buffalo's
black community bas been devastated by
the city's transition from manufacturing.
·to a service and high-technology econ-.
omy, and Buffalo's emeraenc:e ~ a
"Post-Industrial City•- a metropolitan
city witb this kind of changing economy.
The study found that:
·• From 1940 to 1980, black BnfJalonians bad the highest unemployment
rate held the least desirable jobs and
_received the lowest wap in the city.
The black unemployment rate wu 26
· percent in 1940, 16 percent in 1960 and
. 21 percent in 1980. In each of these

decades, there was an average of eight
percent difference in the unemployment
rate of blacks and the citywide rate.
Meantime, blacks remained concentrated at the bollom of the economic
ladder. A recent poll of Buffalo corporations revealed that only a tiny fraction of
blacks held managerial positions in the
city's corporate structure. Few blacks
own and operate businesses, and only a
handful are pr&lt;&gt;fessionals, teachers and
university professors.
Moreover, the income gap between
blacks and whites widened considerably
between 1970 and 1980. The median
household income for the city -was 21.4
percent greater than that of blacks in
1970, while in 1980 the city's median
household income was 35.2 percent
greater.
• A growing number of blacks are
being locked out of the Buffalo labor
market.
In the 1960 census, there was. only one
census tract among tracts with 400 or
more blacks with a labor force participation rate (LFPR) below 40 percent and
three tracts with LFPRs below 50 percent. In 1980, there were six tractS with
LFPRs under 40 percent, one tract with
a LFPR of 23 percent and eight tracts
with LFPRs under 50 percent.
"Data show that a growing number of
African Americans are no longer looking
for work, " the otudy states. "N'or are they
participating in the Buffalo labor force .
1bls is a dangerous development."

M

any national studies of the black
community focus on the problems
of the poor and the underclass, rather
than on the unemployed and the lowwage workers - those with incomes
above the poverty line, but below the citywide meclian income level, Tay)or notes.
This latter group works, but doea not
make enousb money to improve its
lllaJidard of living.
"The key is to make a dent in unemploymeDt and raise the income level of
to..:waae workers; you are not soing to
rcdill:e poverty and stop the growth of
an uDdcrclas until you put_people who
are loolr.ins for employment to work and
raise the income of low-wage worken,"
be says.
Aa part of the "development woe," the
study recommelids:
• Preparins a manpower development and labor ' market strateBY to
increue the "adaptability of the labor
force to cbansinl employment oppol1)1Dities. · ·This can be done by developing a

jo~training program that emphasizes
preparing blacks for jobs in the private
sector.
• Establishing a job information center on the city's East Side.
• Creating a watchdog commi11ee to
ensuno that African Americans get an
equitable share of all jobs involving city
projects.
1 .
• Strengthening the black business
community by designing a program to
provide loans and technical ana managerial assistance to existing businesses and
help form new businesses.
111f Improving the housing stock and
transforming the physical environment
to try to stop the out migration of higherpaid workers and the middle class.
Contrary to the results of some Jlighly
influential national studies, the U B
researchers found no evideo(!C of a mass
exodus of higher-paid black workers and
the middle class to the suburbs. They
also did not find an inner city dominated
by a socially isolated poor and underclass population.
They instead found a protiferation of
organizations and clubs in the black
community. The more than 600 organizations, including churches, communitybased organizations, block clubs, cultural groups and social organizations
"represent tbe key link in the blac k
community's development," the study
says.

T

his national view of the black
community, which Taylor notes is
rapidly beeoming the dominant view,
may be due, in part, to the fact that many
of the studies looked at large cities such
as New York, Chicaso, Detroit and Los
Angeles. The generalizations that
researchers drew have tittle relevance for
the small or medium-size cities where
most blacks tive, be says.
"Black Buffalo stands at a crossroad,"
the study states. Although economic
problems have led to increased sOcial dis.locations and worsened conditions inside
the black commmunity, it adds, Black
Buffalo remains a vibrant, crosa-diSS
community. There are not the lr.inds of
dire social problems found in large cit/
ies such u New York, Chicago and
Detroit.
"Buffalo doea not look like tbese mepcities; but she is beginnins to reaemble
them," the study ujs, "Still, the city bas
a cbance. If Buffalo acts now, she can
avoid ,the social catastroplies that have
gripped the e&gt;egacitiea. H o - . if Buf• falo doea nothing, then the. city's wont
nightmara will come true.•

NCAA Division II swimming and d ivi ng championships are set for
March 7-10 at UB.

UB to host NCAA events

T

be Division of Athletics is

making history. The
University has once again been
selected to host the NCAA
Division II Men's and Women 's
Swimming and Diving Championships
March 7-10 at its world-&lt;:lass
Natatorium.
This marks the first time in the 26year history of the eve nt that it will be
held at the same site for th ree
consecutive years.
..There were a number of reasons for
the selection, .. noted William Leno x.
Athletic Director at Slippery Rock
University and chaif]!Crson of the
NCAA Divi5ion II Swimming and
Diving Championships. " U B has
outstanding facilities - possibly
unmatched by any Division II school in
the nation. Plus, the people there have
produced' a professional and efficientlyrun meet the last .two years."
UB Athletic Director Nelson E.
Townseod said the Unive~ity was both
happy and proud to host the event.
"This selection not only speal&lt;s
volumes for our focilities, but also the
work our Staff does in making this
event an oulstanding one," he said.

Last year. California State at
Bafersfield won the men 's title for the
fourth consecutive year while Cal.
State-Northridge won the women's titl~
[or the third straight year. The UB
women's team placed eighth and took
home 16 All-America certificates. The
U B men placed 181h.
Both U B teams. cuiT!'ntly ra nked
12th in the nation, have swi mmers and
di vers qualified for this year's event.

Anna Post was made to wear in
Auschwiu to feel some thing 'of the
horror she and other survivors recalled
Sunday at the Arthur and Lollist
Wasserman conferc:nct: .. Fifty Years
After the Holocaust: The Courage to
Remember ." The conference was
presented at U B by the Buffalo chapter
of Hillel, the Jewish student foundation .
The rough , blue and gray cap was one
of 5eVeraJ items transfonning the usually
innocuous surroundings of a classroom.
There were the photographs - left
profile, front , right profile - the Nazis
took of Anna Post at Auschwitz. There
was a yellow Star of David with the word
.. Jude" emblazoned across the center.
There were other photographs, too:
members of the Hitler Youth supervising
Jews old enough to be their parents as
they scrubbed the streets on their hands
and knees; members of the Hitler Youth
jeering as two terrified children join the
thousands of Jews being .. relocated ,.. the
burning of Jewish books in 1933: the
desecration of the CentraJ Synagogue in
Munich, November 1938.
When the priso ners of Auschwitz were
liberated by the Allies, the response of
most was to shred to pieces their caps
and uniforms. Anna Post who is 65 and
lives in Amherst, kept hers, and showed
them to her children. She didn' tell them
much, .. because I did not want to hurt
them and because the words stuck. in my
throat."' It was many years before she
was able to talk about any of it to
anyone. But she remembers everything.
She tells it now, she says, becaUst she
feels the need to persuade people that it
happened.
This was the fourth annual conference
hosted by the Buffalo Hillel, an
international foundation for Jewish
studenu founded 75 years ago and
named after a sage of the ftrst century.
This confcren~ however, initiates a
series of lectures and seminars that will
be held 11 UB over the next five years
and that will be fuoded, in part, by the

added, "have all our toes." The children
were taught to run barefoot through the
snow to keep the same silence as an
enemy who wore while and traveled on
skis.

Such silence also meant that the
expression of grief was impossible. "'We

children would steal food from nearby

back.According to Sophia Cbatov,.Partisan
groups like those which saved the
Zuck.ers were more feasible in the
countryside than in cities. In Amsterdam,
where Cbatov was born in 1936, the
Partisans who survived were those who
learned not to know the identity of more
than one or two who were sympathetic:
to know someone meant the possibility
of betrayal under torture. It was this,
says Chatov, that caused the destruction
of the Anne Frank hoUstbold, where a
relatively large number of Jews sought
refuge together. Chatov owes her life to
the sort of anonymous individuals who,
because of their Aryan looks, their
diplomatic skills. or access to a German
uniform. were able to smuggle children
out of the concentration camps.
There are still some who claim that
none of this ever happened. It is for those
who do not believe that Anna Post rolls
up her sleeve to -reveattbe number 3227
tattooed on her ftrm. But Anna
understands disbelief. She did not
believe the German occupation of
Poland would last when, in September
1939. she heard "the motorcycles and \he
jeeps. And the dogs."
She did not believe anything could
happen to her family nntil, on the second
noor of the apartment block she shared
with four or five Jewish families, she
began to hear the German sOldiers' boots
on the stairs, and wondered when they
wen: going to come for her. All she knew
was that "people daily went to the
unknown."'

E

ventuaUy, she left the city and met
two anonymous men-who told her,
"tell us your name. We are JOin&amp; to save
one penon today, andit might be you."

ccasionally, Anna would look at

nations of the world? Why don' they
bomb the place? But no plane flew over
Auschwit.z. And you never beard a bird

.

On Jan. 16 of 19&lt;45, the inhabilanlS of

liberation and..discovery by lbe Allies.
One night, the marchers were ordered
to shut all the windows and doors of

spoke at the Conference bad difficulty in

"I remember embracing a tree," she
said, "because I had not seen a t= in

For yean, Anna Post vowed to make a
German endure some of what she
endured in Awcbwit.z. This was the ftnl
difficulty: she could not forgive herself
when, repeatedly, she failed to achieve
revenge. Eventually, she and some of
those who survived with her came to
decide that it was up 10 them to make
room again for a thing called
"conscience." Because of this, she kept
the cap she'd been made to wear for three
years to show her children. She bad no
one else to show it to. Although she
found her brother after the war ended,
the memories destroyed him: he died of a
heart attack. Anna Post is the only one

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Though

turning to
new considerations
such as this

Crisis conference, many of the
nearly 400 Chinese studying
here at UB remain dismayed
and distressed about the
recent failure of Congress to
override a presidential veto
of the bill protecting them
against deportation.
"I think it's a pity because an upheld
veto pleases only the Chinese government," says Hui Lin, president of the
Chinese Student Club. "They're the ones
who can feel happy now."
Before being quashed by Bush,~~ year's

Wei·Hsung Lin. vice president of the
Chinese Student Club, wonders what
Bush meant by " more nexibility"_in Chinese policy, why he was unwilling to
grant protection to students until after
the Congressional bill was passed and
why the Chinese government pushed so
hard to prevent the override.
"If an executive directive provides the
same thing, it should mean the same
thing to the Cbinge government. But

the directive seems more easily reversed.

Johns1one's SUNY Senate talk accents academic issues
By JEFFERY L JACKSON
Reporter Staff
bancellor D. Bruce Johnstone
lce.yed in on the iss ues of
curriculum content, academic
standards, and the facult y in a
Feb. 3 address to the full SUNY Faculty
Senate Executive Co mmittee . The
SUNY sessio n was held in the Ce nter fo r
Tomorrow.
These important iss ues and difficult
questio ns. J ohnstone acknowledged , "d o
not read ily s ubmit to co nse nsu s. "
Speaking of curriculum. when it .. loses
integrit y, we a re a ll jeopardized,"
Johnstone said . The faculty needs to
acknowledge th at contemporary American education is ove rwhelmingl y
European in origi n. Johnstone sai~ .
adding th at more effort needs to bC
placed on encouraging SUNY schools to
deve lop courses focusing on nonEuropean cultures and foreign languages.

C

In the same vein, faculty should be
aware of mathematical illiteracy or what
Johnstone termc:d"innumeracy. " Courses
need to be developed, he said, to
overcome ianorance in the sciences and
math anxiety.
-Johnstone's other concerns focused on
academic standards and minority

admissions for SUNY campuses. He
asked delega1 es to consider minority
admiss ion s and how · the y can be
maintained , given the current strain on
resources. The chancellor raised an
equally troubles ome issue: how to
increase African-American, Latino. and
Nati ve American graduate admissions,
given th e lack of resources to carry out
this "social, moral. and legal imperati ve."
ln di sc us s ing faculty concerns.
Johnstone said, "'We need to find ways
to discuss such issues as the balance
between teaching and research, the
balance between junior and seni or
faculty, protection of yo ung minority
facult y, a nd what rights the students
have to the tim e and attention of the
facult y."
Re s ponses from SUNY senators
mirrored the contentiousness of issues
raised by Johnstone. Alix Robinson
(Syracuse), representing SUNY health
science centers, no~¢ that these schools•
infrastructures are ~crumbling" and that
they are suffering "from a lack of space
and modem equipment."
Robinson also expressed concern
about insufficient fund• for librariCl and
raised the poisibility that there may be a
"decline in the applicant poor for heal~

care professionals" if improvements are
not made.

J

ames Chen (Geneseo), speaking on
behalf of the arts and sciences
colleges, echoed Johnstone 's concerns
about resea rch and academic standards,
underrepresented faculty, and minority
enrollment. C hen argued that the ••hard
and fast division" of SUNY campuses
i nt o re search centers and teach i ng
colleges may create a situation where
bene r st udents will choose to enroll in
th e research centers rather th an in
teac hing colleges.
"Teaching colleges may suffer ." Chen
said , because of changes in reso urce
alJocation. He noted that the underrepresented faculty initiative sho uld be
applauded . "but it is only a start. "
He added that multicultural course
options have been added at some SUNY
campuses - at Oswego, for instance but not at others such as Geneseo. He
stressed the need for a consistent policy.
Beverly Biros (Stony Brook), representing the university centers, expressed
her appreciition ~or not raising tuition"
acrou the SUNY system. She praised the
availability of seholanhips for minority
students, and spoke of the future of
securing access to affordable health care

for SUNY graduate students.
"We need to take this issue seriously. "
Biros said . adding that if the SUNY
system wants to recruit better graduate
st udents, it must provide affordable
health care.
The issue of allowing international
graduate students to be declared as "in·
state" for funding and budget purposes.
Biros suggested, should also be tackled .
Johnstone noted that this policy is with in
the a uthority of the state legislature hut
that "the inclinations of the budget
process have been quite the contrary."'
The burden of cost! con tinues to be
placed on the backs of out-of-state and
international students. he said .
ohnstone also described students
who co me into the SUNY system
unprepared and the allocation of
resources for retaining minority students.
" We must try damn hard t.P graduate
students who come • into the SUNY
system unprepared," said Johnstone. He
added that "we want more l'esoun:es for
the system &amp;Dd one way to Ff the!!' is to
point out the increasing cost of what
we're beina asked I&lt;' d_o." JohnStone •
stressed, however, tbat "SUNY may not

UB researchers fmd olive oil may have
beneficial effect on cardiovascular )1ealth
By ARTHUR PAGE
News Bureau Staff

R

esearchers at UB have reponed
that consumption of o live oil
and butler correlates with
blood pressure and blood
glucose levels, as well as affecting
cholesterol levels.
The U 8 researchers and colleagues in
Italy found an inverse relationship
between consumption of olive oil and

measurements of cholesterol, blood
pressure and blood glucqse level!.
Increased consumption of butter and
margarine, on the other hand, resulted in
a higher reading for each of the three.
The st udy , reponed in the Feb. 2 issue
of the Journal of tk American Medical
A.uociation, was conducted in conjunction with Italian researchers affiliated
with the Italian Nine Communities
Study of risk factors for atherosclerosis.
The data, collected by the Italian study,
was analyzed by the UB researcherS.
Result s were based on analysis of d ata
derived from dietary interviews and
physical examinations conducted with
4,903 Italian adults ages 20 to 59. The
subjects incl ud ed 2,365 men and 2,538
wome n.
h is the first large population st ud y of
the associatio n of co ns umpti on of
monounsaturated fa t with coronary
hean disease risk factors , according to
Mau rizio Trevisan , M.D .. principal
author and associate professor of social

and preventive medicine in the School of
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Trevisan noted that while there has
been intensive investigation of the
beneficial effects of use of olive oil and
other monounsaturated oils in the diet
on cholesterol level!, data on the impact
on blo~ pressure · and glucose levels
have been limited .
"The strength of this st ud y," the
authors wrote, "lies in the available
measure of cardiovascular risk factors in
a large population sample exhibiting
considerable variation in intake of
monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and
sat urated fau . Because of this variation,
we were ' able to find relatively strong
associations despite a relatively crude
measurement of dietary intake:"

T

bey-added, bowever,that "the crosssectionBI nature of this study needs
to be taken into account in analysis of
these fmdings. While the results are
suggestive of a protective role for
unsaturated fats for cardiovascular risk
factors, other unmeasured confounders
may be the actual etiologic agents."
Trevisan said that in their analyoes, the
researchers took into consideration
confounding effecu of other risk factors
for cardiovascular disC:a.se, such as age.
body-mass index , alcohol intake ,
smoki ng and consumption of fatt y
foods.
The authors noted that "Italy is
particularly well suited to a n inquiry of
this kind because of the frequent
co nsumption of monounsaturated fat as
well as the high variability in type and
amo unt of fat consumption by Italians."
They found large regional variations
in the consumption of
butter and olive oil.
While a large percent age of the population
used olive oil, approximately 50 percent
reported no use of
butter.
The study fo und
that "in both sexes,
higher consumption of
butter and margarine
was associated with
increased systolic and
d iastolic blood pressures and increased
serum cholesterol
levels; these associations reached statistical significance only in men. In both
sexes, higher frequency of consumption
of butter and margarine was associated
with significantly higher levels of blood
-glucose."
Increased consumptien of olive oil,
they wrote, .. was associated with
significantly lower levels of systolic
blood pressure, blood glucose and blood
cholesterol in both sexes. In men but not
in women, diastolic pressure was
significantly negatively associated with
olive oil consumption. ft
• While the study fouod that consumption
o(.polyuosaturatcd .fats other than olive
oil correlated with consistent and
statistically sisnificaot lower cholesterol
and bl09tl glucose level!, the association
wu not coosi,stent for blood pressure.'

Black Student Union.
makes a naine for itself
By SHAWN MATTARO
Reporter StaH
"It used to be.
that if you said the
BSU, no one knew
what yo u were talking about. Now, if
you say BSU, they
know you mean the
UB Black Student
Union." It is this
high level of recog·
nition that ShaKing Alston, Presi·
dent of the BS U.
has been hoping to
achieve.
With thi s recognition. the Black
Student Union
hopes to educate as
well as uplift the
people it serves.
Alston said : "The aim of the Black
Student Union, as we a pproach the
1990s, is to unite ' aJI Afro-American
students o n campus, with the hope of
them understanding their role and
responsibility as a studen t of African
descent. ..
The Black Student Union has as its
principal aim education thr o ugh
understanding. This is seen. for instance,
in its community outreach program.

BSU takes groups of students to Wende
Correctional Facility for meetings with
so me of the inmates. where they listen to
tbe priso ners discuss their Ji ves and the
problems that led to their incarceration .

U

I

t gives them a purer sense of
knowledge.- Alston said ... Most
people consider the inmates the sc um of
th e earth: listening to their stor ies. you
realize that they are reaJ people with real
pro blems. They may just have been
overco me by the negatLve social forces in
their community ...
.. We also have a costume party for
some of the children in the com mun ity.BSU sec ratary Desiree Hopkinson adds.

.. where the children come dressed in
cultural costumes ....
The BS U is sponsoring seve ral
speakers and events on campus for Black
History Month. These include the Feb. I
talk given by Molefi Asante, a former
UB chairman of the Oepanment of
Communications, now at Temple
Univer1ity, who is the chairman of the
only African·AJ!lerican Studies doctorate
program in the country.
Asante spoke on .. AfrOcentricity,"
which is a major belief of the BSU .
.. Afrocentricity is being in touch with

"The aim of the Black
Student Union is to
unite all AfroAmerican students...
to understand their
role and
responsibility."
-SHA-KING ALSTON
where you came from. from your style of
c lothes to things like K waoza ...
Hopkinson said. Kwanza is the African
equivalent to Christmas and many of the
studeDts here celebrate it.

A

lso scheduled to speak are Neely
Fuller Jr. , Robert F . Williams
speaking on .. Experiences Living i9
C hin a" and a cultural show by UB
stud ents .
.. We would like to see more people at
the events; we don't discriminate against
anyone ... Alston said .
Outlining some of the goals of
minorit:t students on campus, Alston
says, "'" We need more minority representation" in the faculty and the administration."
Derek Presswood , a BSU member,
explains .. there would be a better

Study shows elderly
By JEFFREY TREBB
Fleponer StaH

T

he elderly black res idents of
New York. State receive far
fewer health and social services
than elderly white s. even
though the blacks' needs arc much
greater, according to a landmark st ud y
by UB's Multidisciplinary Cen ter on
Aging.
The study .. demonstrates the magnitude of the problem and co nfirms our
worst fears." said Arthur Eve, deputy
speaker of the New York State Assem·
bly, at a press conference last week that
announced the results of the study. He
added that he suspects that the condition
of other minority populations is similar
to that of the black elderly.
Conduc ted by Arthur Cryns , a
professor in the UB Sehool of Social
Work, and Kevin Gorey, the school's
assistant director, the study was the first
comprehensive attempt to examine the
health and social needs of blacks across
the state.
While lamenting the general deanh of
available empirical information on black
elderly, Cryns called the newly compiled
data .. some of the most extensiVe to
date."
The st udy was funded by the New

bl~cks'

York African-American Institute. a
component of SUNY established in 1986
to initiate, conduct and coordinate applied and historical research on blacks.
with special emphasis on New York
State residents.
Japhet Zwana. director of the institute.
termed the study .. very imponant"' and
hoped it would be applied to policy
decisions addressing the disparity in
services.
Eve didn' detail any new policy that
might evolve from the report , but
remarked that he would soon be "taking
this issue throughout the state by holding
several public hearings."
"'"The existing institutions are making a
concerted effort, but the minority community must develop our own suppon
network. We must be empowered," said
Eve. He acknowledged the need for man:
black doctors within the black commun·
ity, recommending more seholan;bip
money to this end.
"Above all, we need more resources
and stronger institutions." Eve said. ~tt·s
an unequal system."
The study was based on a lengthy
questionnaire sent to more than I ,500
elderly blacks in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and
Binghamton.

understanding of what the minority
student needs. The administration can't
help you if they don' under1tand you.
They say that you don 't need Black
Power and Black -Unity, but they don'
understand the hun ~bat we are trying to
overcome. It is like Malcolm X said,
'They stick a knife in you twelve inches
then pull it out thRe and say they are
helping you: it still hurts'."
The fact that there are so few African·
American students on campus is seen as

a problem . .. We need more students on
campus and in our classes so that there
arc people who understand us and o ur
culture, .. Hopkinson said .
··As far as eliminating racism on
campus, that is a serious question; it
affects not only minority students but aJI
students," Alston said. The need once
again is ed ucation and understanding.
.. We need a voice within the institut ion
that cares and think s about the
st udents,.. he said .
D

health, social needs unmet
T

he research found black elderly
people 4.5 times more "vulnerable"
than elderl y in the general population,
with vulnerability defined as having
three or more unmet health or social service needs. Gorey said needs were simply
the .. necessities of daily living, ranging
from transportation, housekeeping and
food preparation among tbe social services. to the health can: provided by a
physician. hospital or nursing home."'

"Above all, we need
more resources and
stronger institutions.
It's an unequal
system. "
-ARTHUR EVE

Elderly blacks were rq&gt;orted to have
only half their social service needs met
and the proportion considered self·
sufficient was only half that of the
general population. Vulnerability was
also affected by the comparatively large

number of black elderl y people who a re
widowed, divorced , separated, living
alone or below the poveny line.

The authors concluded that the disadvantages of old age visited upon elderly
blacks were far more severe than those of
their white counterparts and said their
work "carries the clear implication that
black elderly are underserved , not only
numerically at a rate proponional to
their representation within the general
New York State population, but al•o in
terms of the multiplicity and intensit y of
their needs."
.. We know the older population is not
homogeneous. so we need to turn to the
different needs of different groups,"
Gorey said.
Economic reasons were listed as the
most potent factors explaining the variation in services.
"Medicaid does essentially what it was
designed to do, but tbat means nothing
for the near-poor, those severely impov·
erished but unable to meet the criteria
for aid," be explained. "Forty-six pei-cent
of those surveyed lived under the U.S.
poverty line. Unfortunately, 26 percent
are very close to the poV&lt;:rty line and _
can't meet expenses from their
pocket."

be SUNY budget, reactor leak,
slatus of the Slatistics--Depart·
ment, and the review process of
deans were amOng the topics
discussed at las! week's Faculty Senate
Executive Committee (f'SEC) meeting.
From the outset, the agenda of the
meeting was modiftcd when President
Sample presented an overview of Governor Cuomo's recommended operating
budget for SUNY and UB during fiscal
year 1991.
" In all fairness the budget is quite
good in comparison to other years." said
Sample, referring to the governor's
recommendations.
However, Sample warned that the
SUNY system faces a $235 million hole
in the 1992 fiscal year due to the decreas·
i ng s tate tax su pp o rt base for
SUNY-wide.
In response to a question by G. La urence Sanders of Management, Sample
said that even if the state were to propose
a large increase in tuition that would not
fix a quaner billion dollar ga p.
The ''day of recko nin g.. may come
next year, ad ded Samp le .
Barbara Howell of Physio logy and a
SUNY senator. asked about 1 he econo mic impact on SUNY if the last yea r
of the New ¥ ork State income reductton
plan is not deferred .
"There is a chance that SUNY migh1
face a mid-year budget cut after the 1990
elec ti o ns . .. replied Sample .
Overall. the 1991 budget co nt ai ns
S84 .7 ~illion 1n recom mended increases
but is S30.3 million less than SUNY
requested . In additton . the budget
rcnect s S IH.4 million in b a~c reductions.
Sam ple stated .
O n the pos11i vc s1de of thts year\
budget is the recommendati o n fo r fourth
year fundmg of SIO milho n tn capital
expcnd 1tures fo r the G raduate Research
ln iliative (GR it.
In addition . full salary mcrcases
amounting to S67.5 mllhon and Sl0.5
milli on for adjusted innauon were also
included 10 the govern o r·~ budget. said
Sample .
Whtle the proposed mcrea.~c for inOa·
uon is only half the amount requested by
SUNY. Sample !bo ught 11 was still a
reasonable inc rease.
For the firs! time in a number o(.years.
I he budget included additions~ funding
for stud en t workload for 2_,56 freshmen
and 900 community col~( transfe rs.
And Sample pointed, ou t that the gov·
ern o r recommended a S 1.8 mill ion
increase for Graduate M10onty Fellowships.

n the downside, SUNY requests for

,&amp;5 million for tbe GRI operating

budget and S I million for academic med ·
ical support were not included in the
governor's proposed budget.
,' Turning to UB, Sample reported that
&lt;:apital funding for the Studenl Activity
Center (SAC) Addition and the Natural
Sciences and Math Complex were
recommended.
With the new Fine ·Arts Building and
proposed funding for pthers, UB will he
at the top of !be list oof universities
throughout the countr)&gt;'undergoing new
construction, Sample commented.
In spite ofthegQOd news, UBdoes feel
the ax in the new budget.
Funding for · the Hazardous Waste
Cen1er was cut by',~,OOO. And there is
no funding recommended for the Posi·

UGC program 'should be soundly rejected'
By NICOLAS D. GOODMAN
Professor

ot Malhematics

R

eading the proposed "New
Gener&lt;ll Education
Curriculum for Arts and
Sciences Students at UB"
made me nostalgic for my own
undergraduate general education at
Harvard College in the late 1950s. So
many of the underlying assumptions
are the same. In some respects this is a
stronger program than the one I took;
in some respects it is significantly
weaker. I think that as an
undergraduate program for the 1950s
this one is excellent. Unfortunately. we
are entering a decade with rather
different circumstances and
requirements.
The UGC document quotes with
approval the opinion that ... first and
foremost, students should be exposed
to the history of itkas that have shaped
the Western world." This was also the
central theme of the general education
that I had. Then as now, there was
some attention paid to the ideas of the
non·westem world. But the central
thrust was and is that a liberal
education consists above all in learning
the history of ideas.
When I entered Harvard College in
1957. both I and my teachers supposed
that I was being educated to join an
elite which shared a common cuhure
descending from Plato, and that my
ability to function as a member of that
elite would depend in large part on my
being aware of that common culture
and on my being able to integrate its
ideas and val ues into my own thinking
and acting. It was for that reason that
my teachers felt no hesitation in
requiring me to read 111~ Republic, and
that I felt no impulse to rebel against
undertaking the work involved in
mastering it. Indeed, much of my
intellectual life still derives from that
experience at the tender age of 17 of
having to come to terms with that
wonderful book - so deep and, to a
mid-20th century sensibility, so strange.
But there is no longer an elite
anywhere to be found which wears its
knowledge of the classics as an emblem
of membership. We arc governed by
politicians who are completely
uneducated except in media skills. We
are managed by executives who are
completely uneducated except in
financial accounting. We are told how
to tive by physicians completely
uneducated except in physiology and
anatomy. Our lives are dominated by
machines designed by engineers
completely uneducated excepl in
applied physics and built, increasingly.
by other machines tended by no one. If
we try to tell our students that they
must read Tht Republic in order to be
successful in their personal or
professional lives, they will think us
hypocrites or fools .

·o

f course, the authors of this
curriculum aTe not hypocrites or
fools. They are reactionaries. Let me
quote from the UGC document.

Tht history of W.sttm thought in
this ctntury ... has tugt14bly bten ont
of disintqrlllion, and in tht fact of
it, of ever-fUJTTowing specializat!on
in I~ st!orch of, if not certoipty,
t~n at 'kost a t~luricttl comptUnu
and pow~r. In t~ scknc~s

I

particularly, but in ot~r disciplines
as wt/1, Wt hear of a btwildering
proliftrotion of knowledge, but a
diminished powtr of knowing, of
int~grating that power into human
lift. Tht con.seq~nus of this narrow
com~tency and pow~r. and their
disregard for connection. have in
many instances been terrifying: the
ability to sonitizt gtnocide, tht
caswl datruction of the
en\lironment. the homogenization of
culturt, callous indifferenu to the
ravages of povtrty amliht o.ff1~nce.
As a matter of fact, the history of the
20th century has been one of liberation
from received dogmas and certainties,
one of increased plurallim and diversity,
one in which Mcoherent organization(s)
of knowledge whicb can rival in (their)
claims the specialized power and attractions of traditional disciplinary majors"
(to quote the UGC document again)
have been increasingly rejected.

"There is no longer
an eNte... which wears
its knowledge of the
classics as an
er(lblem of
membership."
-NICOLAS GOODMAN
Genocide was sanitized in Germany
and in Cambodia not by narrow
specialists but by generalists who
wished to impose their grand
conceptions even on those who would
rather not read 'tbe currently
fashionable great books. The casual
destruction of the environment is
caused by greed and by a failure to
think through the long-term
consequences of behavior. not by an
ignorance of Plato or of Confucius or
of Newton. We need more technical
expenise not more indoctrination in
humane values. The homogenization of
culture comes from the increased access
of millions of people to that culture
who had no access to any serious
cultural expression in the 19~h century
when the elite culture had not yet
"disintegrated." The callous indifference
to the ravages of poverty amidst
affluence comes from greed and from
the astonishing breakdown of our
ability to govern ourselves effectively
that we have seen in the last decade. It
comes from that all-encompassing
integrative ideology so. eloquently
expressed by our President when he
says, "No new taxes." I think it has
little to do with the fact that so few
people any longer read The Republic.
The fact is that buman capacities are
limited. As knowledge grows, one
individual can learn a 11haller and
smaller percentag~ of that knowledge.
Social power comes from the division
of labor. Tbeprogrcss of science comes
from sP,j'Cializ.ation. Liberation comes
from the nourishing of multitudes of
diyerse life-styles and diverse world. .viewS and diverse expertises. It is not
the role of the university to impose one
world·view or one ..coherent
organization of knowledge" on our
students. For those of our students who
want to learn Plato -we must provide
the best course in Plato that we can

muster. But there is no justification for
making all of our students read Plato
beyond a nostalgic longing for a more
homogeneous past. The 21st century
will not resemble the 19th century, no
matter how hard we work at forcing
our students into one mold.

B

ut surely the proposed new science
curriculum U; not reactionary. In
the next century, after all, science will
play an even greater role than it bas
played in this one. The surprising fact ,
however, is that it is precisely the
·science curriculum which is most
reactionary. I n:fer specifically to the
courses on "Scientific Inquiry" and
"Great Discoveries in Science" to be
required of most juniors. These courses
arc based on a theory of the nature of
science which was already shopworn
when I was in college. They assume a
unilinear model of scientific progress.
They assume the existence of a
monolithic scientific method which can
he taught. They dsume the existence of
an ideal unified science which can be
taught as a single conceptual scheme.
An intellectually honest and up-to-&lt;late
treatment would at the minimum
inform t!ie students that all of these
ideas J controversial, to say the least,
and long since abandoned by all serious
professionals in ~~'history and
philosophy of science, to say the most.
As a matter of fact, reading the
re~orts of the Reichert Committee from
whtch these courses emerged makes it
clear that much of purpose of these
courses is to fight belief in telepathy or
astrology. just as the course in
" American Pluralism and the Search
for Equality" is intended to _fight
bigotry. Now I am certainly opposed to
belief in telepathy, JIStro logy, or the
inferiority of particular racial groups. It
is perfectly legitimate fer the University
to offer courses whose goal is to
debunk these falsehoods . To require all
students to take these courses, however,
is to ma.ke it appear that the
University, as a corporate institution.
means to endorse a particular .. coherent
organization of knowledge" - that is
to say, a particular ideology.
The university is above all a liberal
institucution, devoted to the pursuit oT
knowledge and of ideas whatever their
sources or their consequences. Just as it
is dangerous for the university to
become too entangled in commercial
enterprises, lest it lose its independence
and objectivity, so it is equally
dangerous for the universit y to become
too entangled in the pursuit of
·
panicular social values. If we require
aJI of our students to take courses in
which they learn the superiority of
science over other. competing, ways of
thinking, then what happens to the
academic freedom and legitimacy of
some faculty member who wishes to
pursue and teach one of those
alternative ways of thinking? The
university as a whole must be neutral
and open to all, even as each of its
members is passionately committed to
particular ideas, methodoio&amp;ies, and ·
values.
The future belongs to diversity, to
specialization, to freedom. This
curricu.Jum looks_backward to a past of
uniformity, of homogeneous elites, of
required counes and a common
undergraduate experience. It should be
0
soundly rejected.

Eyewitness to history: Czech professor's own story
By JEFFERY L JACKSON
Reporter Sta ~

F

or 20 years Jan Havranek. one
of Czechoslovakia's most eminent historians. toiled away in a
mi,nor post in the university

archives. Following the Prague spring of
1968 when Czecboslovalcian liberalization was crushed by troops of five Warsaw Pact nations, Havranek, who was
involved in the liberation efforts, was
fi~ [rom his teaching position at Charles
Univer.;ity in Prague.
The h is torian and eyewitness to the
1968 and 1989 uprisings spoke to a
capacity audience here last week. His
presentation focused on the social and
historical background of the Czecboslovalcian n:volution of 1989.
Born in Bohemia iD 1928, Havranek
spent six months in a Nazi concentration
camp from 1944-45 and was an associate
professor of modem Cz.ecboslovakiao
hiltory at Charles University from 19SS
to 'r_iJ69. Following tbe firing, be was forb~n [rom auociating with' students.
~.(be events of November-December,
l!ti,' be was given his job back' and
p~ted to full profeuor.
. ·
~avranek said the "l'rque Autumn" ·

or 1989 differed [rom the events o[ 1968.
" In 1968, the movement was small and
demands for change were limited . The
most important issue about 1989 was
that (communist) part y officials were
op pressing the people and not leading
Czec hoslovak.ia into European affluence ." The 1989 uprisi ng, said Havranek,
was more far-reaching and broader in
scope than that or 1968.
In addition, said Havranek, the depth
of suppon for change in Czechoslovakia
was evident in the lack o[ bloodshed
associated with the 1989 events. "Not
one window in the whole of Prague was
damaged during the first week o[ the
revolutio~ .. be pointed out.
Havranek said .. it was curious that the
hard-line communist party leader.;hip
did not observe the 50th anniversary or
the Nazi shutdown of Czech univer.;ities
in November, 19 39 ." Rttther than
workers taking to the stn:ets to demand
change, it was students, organized in
both orricial and unofficial groups, who
launched the demonstrations, he told the
capacity crowd in Park Hall.
ln [act, the November 1939 Nazi closing of the universities was the catalyst for
student activism. Havranek recall"'l.:_

"Up to that time, universit y students
were relatively inactive because they
fear ed reprisals
from the commu-

nist pany [or their
act iv ities ." Havranek said .

Taking the lead
from student groups
who bad demonstrated against the
Nazi sh utdown of
the universities .
the 1989 stud ent
demonstrator s
adopted the slogan o[ 1939· "Wh o else
other than us?"

D

uri~g. the first weekend ? f the recent

upnsmg, Havranek sa1d st udents'
hom es and theatres were used as meeti ng
places for the stude nt demonstrators.
There was also constant support from
teachers for the st udent movement.
"The teachers formed strike committees to support student d emands, .. Hav-

ranek added. And the police did little to
stop the demonstrator.;.
At the outset of the Nov. 17 uprising,
the student groups demanded the n:sig-

nation of o ne-half of the communist

pany hard -liner.;. But Havranek criticized th is development.
"The students should have asked [or
smaller demands at first, and then
worked up to larger and broader
demands." Still the students won the
suppon or 80 percent or the worker.;,
Havranek said .

P

erhaps the most poignant sign that
the regime was in a state of disarray
was the reaction of the Czech army in

Prague. Havranek characterized the
army's attitude by saying "they would
not ta.ke up arms against their own
children."
Havranek reported that the current
Czech leader, playwright Vaclav Havel,
was no t well known in his own country.
"Even after be......,on the Frankfun
Bookseller.; Prize, Havel's best known
play was largely unknown by the
masses." Havranek said after Havel's
lir.;t appearance on Cz.ech television, lfavranek n:ported that the new leader lost
so me support among tbe ·people. "The
people said ' Oh, Havel's just a playwright - be's not a political leader'."
Havranek said.

Databases serve library's
changing needs, Adams says
News Bureau Staff

omputcr databases instead of
books? It's a pattern in today's
libraries. According to Judith
A. Adams, director of Lockwood Memorial Library, her primary
duty is "to make sure that the library
respo nds to the changing information
needs of faculty and students ...
And that involves a growing reliance
on co mputer databases in · addition to
direct access to books, journals and
microfiche , tltcc pt as stored material is
needed .
Adams, who assumed her post last
May. heads a staff of 17 librarians, 21
clerical workers and student assistants.
The library director. whose academic
in terests include the nation's amusement
parks, is currently writing a book on the
cultural history of parks in the United
States, from the initial impact of Coney
Island in the early days of the 20th century. to the present. The manuscript is in
the final editing stages, with coverage
through the opening of Disney's MGM
Studio Theme Park and a look at inteJnational ventures. (The Soviet Union is
presently involved in theme park
development.)

C

Interested in the re lationship between
technology and the humanities - academic subjects that stress human values
- Adams is frequently called upon as a
lecturer.
She comes to UB from Auburn Univenity in Alabama, where she was heal!
of the Humanities Department of the
Auburn Univenity Library.
Lockwood, one of a dozen U B libraries. stores some 1.3 million volumes.
about the same as the total Auburn system, according to Adams.
In the face of rising costs for books
and journals and the growing oe&lt;:d for
more storage SJ&gt;II!'C, Adams said Lockwood keeps its head above water
through "cooperative activities" with
other computer-oriented libraries. For
instance, it participates ill "link6d database systems" developed by s.ich organizations as the Association of Raean:b
Libraries aod the Research ubJllries
Group.
The cooperative approach cuts each
participating library's costs. As an

c.ample. Adams noted that the cost of
subscript io ns to some journals runs as
high as $3,000 a YF· .And that could be
for as few as four issues.
There are many computer databases in
the humanities, Adams related. As an
example ·of how specialized they are
becoming, she referred to development
of a " medi-val studies" database with
economic and demographic information .

I

n the realm of public service. Adams
said Lockwood has recently become a
state data center for U.S. Census computer tapes. As such, it would respond to
reque st s from individuals , business
organizations, and government Sge ncies
for census information.
But it 's not all computers. either, she
offered .
..The library remains responsible to
disciplines that arc book-oriented, .. she
assured.
A 1967 magna cum laude graduate of
Willces College, where she earned a
bachelor's in English, Adams subsequently earned two master's degrees. She
received a master's in library scie nce
from Syracuse in 1974 and a master's in
English from Lehigh in 19g1.
Prior to her three·year association
with Auburn, Adams served as a librarian at Oklahoma State University.
Before that, she spent five years as
se nior Jjbrarian at the National Reference Center for Bioethics Literature of
the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at
Georgetown. The center was created
through a S1.3 miUion grant from the
National Library of Medicine, which
based the award on a proposal coauthored by Adams.
She also gained experience as a reference librarian at the Library of Congress,
Lehigh Univenity Libraries, and at the
Learning Resources Center of the Syracuse University Scliool of Nursing,
mostly while punuing her advanced
degrees.
Adams is co-author of two books,
both published in 1980, and has written
numerous articles. The books are T~ch­

It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

that the number of older students is on
the rise. The total enrollment of undergraduate students in the SUNY system
rose I. 7 percent from the fall of J9g2 to
the fall of 1988. Over the same period,
the number of students 35 and older

Coming to a Univel1iity like UB is difficult enough for a young freshman. But
for a student who bas been away from

U.S. nt*!dS to prepare for
major quakes, Buckle says
By LINDA GRACE-KOBAS
News Bureau Director

T

be United S tates is not
prepared for future major
earthquakes, particularly if
they occur east of the Rocky
Mouatains, and should initiate immediate actio ns to reduce their human and
economic costs. a leading seismic
engineering e~pcrt has recommended .
lan Buckle , deputy director of the
National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) headquartered at
the University at Buffalo, made his
recommendations as part of an Atlantic
Forum held Jan. 24 at the National Press
Cl ub sponsored by The Atlantic
Magazin~ and American International
Group, Inc.
Also on the panel were Congressman
Geo rge E. Brown Jr. of California:
Senator Alben Gore Jr. of Tennessee:
Gra nt C. Peterson, associate director of
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, and James Fallows, Washington
editor of The A tlan tic , wh o was
moderator.
"One of the grut challenges of our
time facing engineers, social scientists
and political leaders is to reduce our
vul nerability to earthquake hazards,"
uckle said .
- .. We know from past seismic activity
that engineers do not bujld earthquakeproof stru ctures," he added . "Our
building code s specificall y cautio n
against that ex.pectation and st rive for
sa ving lives only, because arm wrestling
with a major earthquake is not a
winna ble proposition ...
Citing the more than 60 people dead
and S 10 billion cost of the recent Lo rn a
Prieta earthquake in California, Buckle
said .. we must d o better" in preparing for
eanhquakes. He made these specific
recommendations:
• Building codes with seismic
provisions must be adopted throughout
the United States without del ay.
• The nat ion's existing infrastructure
must be retrofitted to meet the
requirements or these new seismic codes.

This is even a larger problem than
adopting stricter codes for new
buildings, Buckle said, adding that
existing bridges, lifelines and other
structures must be made earthquake
resistant. h is a problem without a costeffective solution at this time, he added.
• Seismic risk east of the Rocky
Mountains must be quantified . While
scientists have a good understanding of
the tectonic plate activity that ca\UCS
earthquakes along the major faults on
the West Coast, they do not have a good
understanding or the intraplate earthquakes that occur in the eastern and
central U.S., Buckle said. A scientific
explanation for eastern earthquakes
would aid in assessing the actual risk for
people in the east and help in motivating
them to prepare for potential disasters.
• Better education on seismic risk and
survival rules must be given to the public
throughout the co untry. " People must be
prepared to protect themselves, .. Buclde
said, "'no matter where they live ....
• Emerge ncy response plans must be
implement ed. Even in California, which
is relativel y well prepared for earthquake
hazards, the Lorna Prieta earthquake left
more than 60 dead and SIO billion in
damage , Buckle noted . .. In other areas of
the co unt ry , we haven' even begun to
prepare," he sB!d .

"we

must take these actions to
pre vent the future loss of
human life and reduce the number of
cas ualties." Buckle said . .. Such actions
will also mitigate the damage to our
infrastructure, and minimize the impact
of a major earthquake on the economy
of the U.S. But all of these items cost
money. We need an accelerated funding
program for research and im plementation because the current level of funding
is grossly inadequate to get the job done
in a timely fashion ...
NCEER, a consortium of researchers
across the U.S., will play an important
ro le in performing research to reduce
earthquake hazards, Buckle added, as
well as in technology transfer and public
information.

Charlie Haynie.
..The goaJ was to design a statistics
course for minority students and older

years since high school math," be said.
Statistics is a requirement for the social
sciences, Haynie added, noting that
many older students have difficulty in
the more mainstream courses, often failing OUL
"Students will come up t o me after the
first day of class, and tell me that they
are terrified by mathematics. This course

University, but a problem that must be
overcome.
..In management and math classes, the
target was youJter · students," K.regg
recalled. " I struggled with calculus and
accounting, mostly because of penonaJ
problems. It was difficult to hear the professors say 'Of course yo u know this,' or
'This is ass umed ·...
Edmond 'tiancone, 37 , also found the
return to sc hool difficult. When he
started out in the M.Arch. program in
1985, it had been a decade si nce he
earned his B.A. in English from UB. He
had worked for Republic Steel and
bad seen his design firm founder in the
Buffalo economy of the early 1980s.
"Not only had I been out of school for
ten years, but I was going for an arts and
matbematics..::cntered degree when my
backgrouod was in English-journalism."
Ciancone has since earned his B.P.S.
degree in architecture and is now work ing on a master's in enginee ring in co nstruction management.
Like other older students, Ciancone
must balance work, stud y and family
o bligations. He now works fuiJ time for
Westi nghouse Electric and helps to care
for his 18-month-old son. He has started
his o wn firm and last year built an
..environmentally safe .. home for clients
in Concord, N.Y.
Sharon Green believes that teaching
older st udents is a different, and potentially more enlightening, experience than
a traditional class.

or some educators, teaching students
older than· themselves is intimidating," she said . "I was in my Jaie. 20s when
I started, but those Cedings an:·long forgotten. To bear tbe ·tbeones we discuss
conpect with our owti lives .is exciting. I
have lea.rned a lot from the students I

Joanna Drzcwieniecl&lt;i is cum:ntly
punuing a Ph.D. in political scieDce with
plans for a colleJe teaching career in
'South America and · admits that she is
..not representative"' of many older stu-

dents. Still, she agrees with Green's outlook about the benefit~ or having the
perspective or older students in the class.
"At different stages of your life, yolftend
to approach things differently. I ask different questions than a 24-year-old
would Mk."
.
To Dru:wienieck.i, who earned a B.A.
in English and an M.A. in library science
before leaving school in 1970, her age
and life experienCe is not a detriment but
an advantage. "Life experience is a factor. I am in comparative politics, and I
have lived in at least three parts of the
world. It brings a different perspective."
Paul Warms, 38, was an administrator
at Catholic Charities and bad a master's
degree from Canisius, when be decided
to quit his job and begin doctoral work
in the UB Department of Organization,
Administration and Policy.
"I had a strong commitment to lifelong learning and felt the need to further
my understanding and knowledge of
how adults learn," Wa.nns said . He
hopes the degree will allow him to contribute to h is field and advance
professionally.
Married and the father of a six-yearo ld daughter, Warms finds the age difference .. not si}nificant" in most of his
classes. Howeve r, in one class last semester. where most students were appreciably younger, one student did express
wonder at warms• .. old-timer .. status . .. I
told him that I had learned that you
never stop learning."
Kevin Durkin. director of admissions
for the University, points out that UB is
a member of the Western New York consortium of admissioll$ tJfficers ...There
are about 18 colleges and universities in
the consortium .... Durkin says.
"It is a good example of institutional
cooperation. Part of the aggressive outreach is aimed at older students. We
recruit in labor union halls, local banks,
and factories."

However, Durkin described the usual
freshman seeking admission as "an 18year-old facing graduation from high
school."

H

e pointed out that most of the literature, catalogs, guidebooks and so
on are directed at this age group, and
most recruiting for students is intended
to reach peopl~ of this age. Not surprisingl y, UB admissions policy is designed
to facilitate the evaluation of recent high
school graduates.
''The usual cri teria used are high
sc hool average, class rank, and SAT
sco res!' Durki n points out. But these
criteria are often insufficient to evaJuate
a potential student who graduated from
high school more than 20 years ago .
""We are very aware and interested in
the ptight of the older student," Durl&lt;in
remarked . "The vast majority of these
cases (older students seel&lt;ing freshman
admission) an: counseled into Millard
Fillmore College."
Though there are almost twice as
many students in regular undergraduate
courses as in MFC. as Camalleri pointed
out, .. m.any older students Come in as
transfer students. They may have. taken
classes at ECC (Erie Community College), or be returning to college."
As Helen Kregg recaJie&lt;t lier struggles,
she-concluded that ." I am really enjoying
school now. It seems my profcisson m.al&lt;e
an effort to recognize that you are an
older student and have livcil twice lU
long u the younger students, and make
an effort to get your opinion..

individuals committed to law enforce~
ment and student safety.
Ins pec tor Daniel Ja y, a 16-yea r
ve teran on the force is a prime example
of that experience and knowled ge . Jay
was a k.ey player on the community-wide
team that cracked the University Heights
ra pist case last year. The rapist had
spread a cloud of fear over the University
co mmunity for mo nths.
Jay began his career as a Public Safety
patrolman and was grad uated from the
Public Safety Academy in Buffalo in
1974 . He wo rked his way through the
rank s at Public Safety a nd is now an
tns pecto r and senio r staff assis tant in
charge of the In vestigatio n Division.
Ja y has studied at the FBI Academy in
Virgi nia and participated in a number of
training programs in New York. He
specializes in forensics with special
interest in fingerprint and ro')twear
identification. forensic photography and
crime sce ne examination.
This type of training is characteristic
of many of the officers who work at
Public Safety, said Jay.
"Our patrolmen go to specialized
traffic schools, accident investigation
schools, crash management schools and
Breathalyzer schools. We also do a lot of
in~rvice tiaining bere," Jay said.
He pointed out that among tbe
investigative staff there are people with
varied specialties they have developed
over the years.
Some, lib: James Britt, are sltilled at
interviewing certain types of suspects,
while others, like Charles Scripp, have
keen iMigbt into stolen credit ca:rd cases,
explained Jay. He added that one ofrteer,
James Siwula is a former accountant
who is "a whiz" at investigating white
collar crime. Senior Investigator Frank
Panek is especially skilled at coordinating
complex. investigations. Jerry Denny is
another investigator specializing 1n crime
prevention efforts.
.. All the officers complement one
another. I like to think we could put our
officers up against any other investigative
agency in the area as an equal or better,"
said J ay.

T

be lc.ey to success in law enforcement
is not only having a crack force, said
Jay, but there also must be cooperation
among law enforcement agencies locally
and statewide. In addition, the public or more specifically, the UDiversity must act as the eyes and tan for Public
Safety, be added.
"Cooperation has been excellent
lately. Students an: mucb more willing to
give us stalements and to get invotved in
the system. It's a good civics lesson." Jay
stated.
In one recent case - tbe Univenity
Heigbts rapes - Public Safety played a
CfliCial role along ·with· other law
enforcement ..,Oes and the public in
solvina thia crime.

her car on the South Campus by .a man
weariQg a stocki ng mask. FortUnately,
the professor was able to fight off the
attacker and was able to provide some
inform&amp;tion for investigators.
"In the norma l course of the
invcstigativ~ pr~ wecop.tacted other
agencies to see if they had an y similar
reports," said Jay.
Several officers from the Buffalo
Police Department and, 1ater, officers
from the Towns of Tonawanda and
Amherst reported a number of similar
attacks where the victims were not so
fortunate.
In these incidents, a masked man
entered houses througb windows and
committed rapes. •There were also
repol'tJ of women I&gt;Cing attacked on the
streets at night.
Inasmuch as most criminals arc
: creatures of habit, Jay remembered some
information be received in 1986 about a
subject who was being sougbt by
Montgomery County (New York)
sheriffs.
He recalled that a detective io
Montgomery County had told him a
man named Michael Drozic was a
suspect in a series or incidents
remarkably similar to the University
Heights cases: a masked man would
break into houses and perform lewd acts
in front of female occupants.

A

t that time, the subject, Dr&lt;&gt;zic, had
an outstandir\g warrant for failing

--------------~------------------------~----~
~
to show up for a weekend sentence that
resulted from his conviction for driving
while intoxicated (DWI).
It was believed that Drozic was living
with his brotfc: r,. a UB s tudent. Public
Safety spent some time trying to l~te
Drozic but could not find him because he '
W&amp;.j CC?nstan!IY mov,ing 11nd. also living
under an assumca name.
Working with bis investigate staff, in
particu~ Frank Panek, Jay put together
a package and presented it at a meeting
attended by representatives of Buffalo
law enforcement agencies.
It was agreed that Drozic was a viable
suspect and be was eventually picked up
on tbe DWI warrant and returned to
Montsomery County.
After Drozic was picked "up in early
February 1988, tbe assaults in Buffalo
stopped . Then the work neatly began in
order to build a case, althougb initially it
was based on scant evidence, said Jay.
"One of tbe biggest problems with the
Univenity Heights case was the inability
of the victims to identify anyone as a
· suspect," said Jay. Most victims could
not identify Drozic in police lineups.
"Still, we, as weU as a group of Buffalo
detectives, felt that Drozic was the rigbt
guy."
Jay worked very closely with Sheila
DiTullio, chief prosecutor, and Dick
Shanley, detective, from the District
Attomey•s Office to tic Drozic to the
crimes.

"DNA identification
· is based on
idea that

lnspectm Dan1el Jay has a special

1nterest 1n hngerpnnt Identification.

"We interviewed people that he lived
with . We w.erc a~le !o show that there
was a relahonshlp between persons he
knew a nd some of the victims," said Jay.
Lee Griffin, UB's director of public
safety, pointed out that a UB student had
moved into a house where Drozic had
formerly lived . One evening the female
student threw a housewarming party for
f ri ends and acqua intances. Drozic
attended the party. Later that night the
student awakened to the sound of Drozic
eokring her bedroom window. He
claimed to be pulling a prank and left.
This information was passed on to
!'ublic Safety after tbe student read
about Drozic and his possible connection
to the rapes, said Griffin.
"Everything started to point to bim,"
Jay said.
The big break came during tl!e early
summer of 1988 when the DA's office
was able to convince Drozic to give a
blood sample for DNA fingerprinting.
Jay explained that the DNA identification theory, like fingerprinting, is
based on the idea that no two people,
excluding identical twiDJ, have exactly
the same genetic makeup.
Because DNA reveals the code for
genetic malc.eup, forens-ic experts can
look at small bits of DNA found in
evidence such u blood, hair or semen
left at crime scenes to seC how well it
matches up to a suspect's DNA.
n the Drozic case, the DNA analysis
of his blood matched up against
semen stains found at the sce ne of five
rapes in Buffalo.
"When Frank (Panek) and I found out
$hat the results were positive we were
jumping out of our shoes. It was very
exciting. The work then began and
eventually the DA indicted Drozic," Jay
said .
The DA 's Office was able to negotiate
a guilty plea. Drozic is assured of serving
at least IS years in jail under his sen ten~
of 1g to S4 years," said Jay.
The success of the Univenity Hci,cbts
case is directly the result ol'ajointeffort,
Jay said emphati~ally . ':Everybody

around the capital buildings and then
go on 10 the theatre. By the time we

"They put us in the city Jail. in
se parate cells. There were 12 of us, and •
other black women prisoners in o ur
cell. The Jajls were seg regated at this
11me. and the other women in the cell
did not unde rstand why we were there.
We explajned that we hadn't killed or
ro bbed or hurt anyone, but that we
were dem onstrating. I remember that
they were very moved by this, and one
woman prostit ute had tears in her eyes.

T

here were no lights a t night, and
I remember a woman being
thrown into the cell, and sliding along
on the cement. She was drunk, and we
couldn' really help her.
• At live in the morning, we were led
to a row of showers, all open. Then we
were to have breakfast in an open
middle room. Coffee was in a bucket.
There was also huge biscuits with no
butter, and grits with what looked like
lard. The students all refused to eat.
"We spent most of the day playing
cards with the prisoners, whom we
were somewhat afraid of. They did take
advantage of us at first, but they
showed empathy for us also . The y only
took the cigarettes.
"Lunch was bologna on thick bread,
and coffee in the same bucket. By this
time, we were hungry, so we came off
our high horses, and ate. We told the
turnkey we needed fruit or we would
get scurvy. We didn ' get it. They ..
thought all college students were ehllst
anyway.
"We kept th inking that at a ny
minute we would leave and go to our
hearing. We sang and had talent shows,
recited poetry, and danced . We were
allowed to.make a phone call, but I did
riot call my father. I was sure I would
be out soon.
"The next day we were put on a bus,
and went to court. We (aced the same
judge. This time we had a New York
lawyer and a Miami lawyer, hmd by
CORE and the other organizations. We
were cbargOd again with contempt of ·
court, told we would be ll!'tified when •-•
to report for our trial, and {reed on our

U

own recognizance.
"We returned to campus and were
required to wash with Octagon soap
_
and flea soap. All our profeSso~ and ·. ·
advisori' emphatbif.ed witli us and were
- proud of us. They were very responsive

to us if we needed extra help. I never
saw a campus like this that came to cur
support.
"We had learned something now. For
our trial we pa&lt;:ked luggage. I pa&lt;:ked
two suitcases full of shampoo, giant
toothpaste, soap, roUers, pajamas,
robes, and if you smoked lilr.e I did,
three to four cartoM of cigarettes. We
decided that if we had to go bal:k to
that jail, we would have everything we
needed.

"T

be .trial lasted for a few days.
The defendants occupied the
whole courtroom. There was no jury,
just the judge. The sheriff had a long
list of women be remembered seeing at
the demonatration. They called my
name, and he said, 'Oh I remember

"I said, 'You don' remember me.'

was no reason for him to take notice of
me. The judge pounded his gavel and
yelled order in the court.
"It seemed the sheriff remembered all
of the striking women, the fair-skinned
blacks with Clairol tinted hair, many of
them dorm students from the north. H.e
remembered less. than half of the
women, and we felt this was an attempt
to get tbein to tell who the leaders of
the demonstration were. No attention
was paid to our lawyers' objections.
"When our lawyen brought up the
fact that all of the women could not be
held in contempt, because no one crosschecked to see if they had all beeo in
the first demonstration, the judge
seemed to be asleep.
" It was thought later that the worst
thing we could have don.!' was to get
lawyers from New York City, especially
Jewish lawyers who were not popular
in Aorida at the time.
"Most of us were sentenced to three
months in jail and a $500 ftne. Some of
those who were named by the sheriff,
got ..:nteneed to six months -in jail and
a $1,000 line.
"After the judge's sentence, I picked
up my suitcases and tried to leave, but
they locked the door. I became very
upset that I couldn' get ouL Then they
told us we were under arrdt.
"I was taken to the Bla&lt;:k ·women's
State Penitentiary. Once I entered, I
knew they were going to attempt to
teach us a lea5!'n. Air was ap~yed up
oar dresses, doora were locked, and
when we were proceued, we ,were told
not to m.a.ke funny foces, and we dido,.
Everyone wu stripped. naked, and
searched. We were trealed the aame as
the common criminal&amp;. ·
"We were put in cells with
murderers, women wbo had 1r.illed their
own babies. One bad lr.ilied ber mother.
There were eight prisoners to a cell It
:was scary. We did not know what
would happen.

"The first thing tbe prisoners did was
take our cigarettes. Then they crushed
aspirin and mixed it with the cigarettes
and smoked it. It smelled aw(ul, so the
guards took all tbe cigarettes away.
Then the prisonen blamed us for that.
We couldn' play cards with them
because if they lost, they would chop
your head ofT. We were like aliens.
They knew we were different, walking
around in hair rollera and pajamas.
"We got to see tbe other students
when we were tattn outside to the
exercise area. Here we beard about the
warden taking some of the younger
girls to the conference room early in
the morning.
"I had seen male guards, and men in
leadership positions milling around
when the women-toolr. showers. Many
of·us were atiJI in our teena. It was
always frightening.
" At live o'clock in the morning, the
warden came to our cell. Sbe asked for
me. I was taken to a room where seven
or eight big whjte men were sitting
around a table. I was in my bed
clothes. I was told to sit down. They
asked me my name, and if I was a
st udent at A and M. Then they asked if
I wanted to get out today. I said yes.
They asked if I did get o ut would I
demonstrate again. I said no sir. I
would never demonstrate again, that
judge !lid prove a point. But I also
asked, how I could get out since I had
been sentenced to three months and a
$500 line, and the tine had not been
paid yet?
"They said that if I told them who
the p~~rs were, they would let me out
by &lt;1 a.m. I asked how could I trust
them, since nothing was in writing.
They said I was to take them at their
word.
· ·
',
"I said I couldn' do that. To be
honest, I did not know who the leaders
weri. Even if I had, my ethnic pride
would not have let me teU them. Then
they mentioned that my father worlted
at the college. I felt lr.ind of guilty
about my father, but I dido' feel that I
could trust these men. t,fost of them
were at least 6' 4• tall, and their guns
seemed biger thaa usual. They wore
round sheriff bats, with chin straps.

They were stone cold.
."I know we were blessed that none of
us were raped or attacked . Six or aeven
of us bad made a pact to stay u a
aroup or unit for aurvival. If you bad
the fme money, you could gel out. My
father wanted to get me out, but we
decided to wait for all to be released. If
we left, we were afraid that some of the
women prisoners would overpower
those left behind.
" After four weeks, we returned to
school. We left all tbe clothes,
shampoo, and hair rollers for the
prisoners.
" It was almost time to leave school
for the holidays. We all met as a group.
Nobody was laughing. It was a serious
situ&amp;tion . The women had been sent all
over the state. We lieard many horror
stories. Many had been raped, by
priso nen and by guards. But in 1963,
you were uhamed to go public with
this lnfonnation. No one would preSs
charges. No one would sue . There was
too much sha me.
"That year had changed my entire
life . It changed me co mpletely. I
con tinued sc hool. and continued with
the demon strations. I primarily
demonstrated in my hometown of
Ann iston, Alabama; mostly during
school breaks and during the summer
mont hs. Ed ucation now meant yo u
must go to the co mmunity and help
people. Y ou must be an agent for
change .
"' After graduation. I was sent by
SCLC to Summerville, Georgia. I was
the first black teacher in a 99 .9 perccnl
white, agrarian sc hool.
"'From there 1 came to Buffalo as a
teacher for'the Buffalo Public School
system. I taught at School 32, which
was a 99.9 percent black school. I was
in for an educational and cultural
shock. \
"I then taught at the Urban Center
which merged with the Cooperative
CoUege Center and formed the SUNY
Educational Opportunity Center. It was
in 1985 that I moved from teaching to
my present pooition nf counselor."

grams. and Aleksander Koj. =tor (p=ident) of Jagiellonian, the two institu1ions
agreed to begin a cooperative exchange
program, hopefully next summer. with

intent .. to establish a rormal agreement
in the future ...
"The focus of this coo peration ," 1he
s1a1ement specifies. "will be on the legal.

economic and social aspects and implications of the Polish political transition

and scientiSt, began his studies at Jagiellonian in 1491. Pope John Paul II
served as an associate professor there
while =iding in Poland.

T

he university plans to observe its
600th anniversary in the year 2000.
Casimir the Great. lting of, Poland.
founded a university in Krakow in 1364.
It was the second such school in Central
Europe, the university in PragUe having
been founded in 1348 .
But the Krakow institution's activities
slackened following the death of King
Casimi r in 1370. After a 30-year lapse.
King Ladislaus Jagiell o revived the
school.
Dunnett expects that about 15 UB
students wi ll travel to Poland this
summer to launch the new exchange

through the excha~ge of sc ho lars. stu·
dents. books and periodicals. info rma-

tion , joint research projects and other
projects of mutuaJ inte rest. ..
Th e statemen t further notes th at -the

cooperation will be carried out in all
academic disciplines, but with emphasis
on the social sciences. law and
humanities ...
The agreement was put together d ur·
ing a visit to Poland by a four-member
UB delegation headed by Dunnell. With
him were Fredrick W . Seidl. dean of the
School of, Social Work; Thomas F .
George, dean of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, and Richard E. Mennen .
professor and former chairman ,of the
Depanment of Theatre and Dance.
George joined the group by traveling
fro"\ Russia . where he had been
lectunng.
The University is a lso involved in
developing a P~ Corps program to
send English language instructors to
Hungary. Dunnett disclosed . The pro·
gram, he advised. involves U B and
UCLA. and calls for se nding 40 instructors to Hungary next June a~ Peace
Co rp ~ volunteers.
Both Poland and Hungary. he added .
have a lready dropped Russian as a
rcqutrcd seco nd language in favor ol
English.
Addi ti o nall y. Dunnett noted. the Uni·
vcrstt y at Buffalo is ..exploripg options ..
tn the Sov tet Unio n for an exchange
program .
A key player in bringing abou1 the
agrccment with Jagiellonian University
was Alice Posluszny. who represents the
Buffalo area·s estimated 350,000 Poles as
o ne of Buffalo 's primary Polonia boosters. Posluszny. a long-time member of

program . Facult y from UB also Will
travel there to teach ror a minimum of
two weeks a nd a maximum of o ne year.
Polish participants are expected t o
remain at UB longer. Dunnett said .
He explained that both universities
will provide living accommodations and
meals for visiti ng students and faculty.
wi1h air fare to be provided by panicipal·
tng tndi vid ual s or by their respective
institutions.
Of special interest to U B's potential
exchange students will be Jagiellonian 's
Polooia Research Instit ute , designed
mainly to accommodate st udents from
ot her lands who are primarily interested
in the Polish language and Polish
-culture.
The exchange program also includes
1ccess to each other•s library collections.
The Jagiellonian Library has a collection of about three million books. includ·
ing many works of historical value. One
such item is a prayer book donated to the
university in 1582 by Queen Anna

'"Eqlaiid:

�By DAVID M. SN-YDERMAN
Reporter Staff

he semester that
began in January
of 1970, when
controversy raged
over the Vietnam
War, was tumultuous, to
say the least.
"Put it into context: the
context is the spring
semester in which we had

T

400 policemen on campus; the con text is
we had firebombs thrown into windows;
the context is that we had people pitchIng rocks int o win dows, precipitating a
near-riot on campus.... says William
Greiner, provost and co nte mpor ary
facu lt y member. Amid all that. on Jan .
22. 1970. the Reporter was born.
' ' That was the . most interesting
semester we ever had ,.. added Bob
Marlett, fanner director of publications
and fou nding editor of the paper ....That
was during the riot s an d police
occ upation. Nobody knew who was
doi ng what; they were throwing Molotov
cocktails in libraries ...
A newspaper was needed to get
mfonnation to the University community.
There was a publication calJed the
Gaulle but that .. was absolutel y the
most boring thing yo u've seen in your
life, " Marlen said .
o the Reporcer was fo unded ... ,, was
clear that thi s was to be a Universit y
newspaper and not an administrati on
paper," said A. Westley Rowland, who
wa s vice president for university
relations at the time ...The Gazette wasn't
a newspaper. It wasn't timely, it didn't
come out often enough."
In his original statement of the
Reporter's mission Marlett stated that
the paper would not be merely an
admi nistration tool.
.. It came out at the beginnmg of spnng
semester. Wh at I remember is an
editorial by Bob on how they would
welcome letters and try to be not just a
house organ, ·· explained Shonnie
Finnegan, University archivist.
Has the paper lived up to that goal' " I
sup pose it's always going to be a house
organ if it"s paid for by the bouse. but I
tried to make it more than j ust that."
Marlett said ... 1 was often in bot water
with the administration and yet people
always said th at we were just a house
o rga n."
In that policy statement , Marlett also
recognized th a t he couldn't make
everyo ne happy. "Studenu will often
suspect that top administration writes
every word and administration from
time to time will be sure it has created a
monster," he wrote .
..That's a reasonab le observation Bob understood precisely the tension
that would be there," Greiner commen·
ted .
... lmew what we were getting into;
what else is there to say?" said Marlen.
who retired Oct. I.
The turbulence at the time gave
impel,;; to the =ation of the RLportu
beealllt ~ Spectrum did not provide a
forum for the Pass&amp;&amp;" of information,
Marlett laid. ·It wu durina the "time

In addition, the University needed

•sometbilJI to represent more moderate
opinions.

The R~porter at.20:
eventful decades
UB's community newspaper was launched
during turmoil of Vietnam war protests
··one of the things that all of us as
facu lt y members look toward is a newspaper that represenu the culture and
interests of the faculty ," added now dean
of the School of Managemeri"t. but then
Assistant Professor, J oc Alutto.
The R~port t!r S strong start was due to
the convictions of the people involved,
according to Finnegan. ..They would
argue right up until the very end about
what to put in there. They were very
passionate about it. ..

"T

hro ugh the years, there have been
vario us complaints about the
Reporter's bala nce and coverage by. in
particular. Greiner . .. It's not comprehensive - it's not as comprehensive as the
Gaze/It! was. h doesn't reach everyone ...
ln addition, Greiner said th at he feels
the paper's headlines aim to be too
sensationalist . .. too N~w York Post."
rather than accurate , .. like the New York
Times. ·· He explained. "there are people
in cen tr al administration who get
annoyed because people do not realize
what kind of an impact a headline
makes ...
Still. Greiner is happy with the
Reporter.
-1 think in getting it right , in
unde rstand ing the nuances on campus,"
the Repqrter docs it better than anyone
else,.. Greiner continued. ..What do I
think of the Reporter? It ce rtainly has
been lively. It "s been professionally done
ove r the years."
And when co ntroversy does come up,
the Reporter has tended to print as many
letters as -possible on the Viewpoints
page . ...Sometimes, people are angry

(abo ut a story) but they can always write
a letter to the editor," explained Connie
Oswald Stofko, former associate editor
of the Reporter.
he paper has never s hied away from
trying to competently cover campus
controversy. From parking, to public
•afety arming. to grading policy. to
athletics, to Statistics, the Reporter has
written about it. .. Statistics was hot but
for different reasons. It was very
academic: It wasn' literally life or death
like lhe arming of public safety." Stofko
ex plained .
The Reporter has witnessed the rapid
growth and development of this sc hoo l:
the growing pains as the University has
become an AA U member and nationally
known institution. The development of
the North Ca mpus and the switch

T

northward have all been chronicled in iu
pages. But no time bu seen u much
sheer controveny as the period in which
lbe paper wu introduced.
"That was a bad time. There was a lot
of st~ between the U nivenity and the
community," commented Leslie Fiedler,
distinguished professor of English and
Samuel Clemens Cbairholder.
Rowland agreed. ""Students bad
ovenurned cars and ~orne people were
even sent to the hospital. .. . We felt that
(publishing the R•port&lt;r) might be one
wa y to heal the rift between the
University and the community" by
ope ning up avenues of communication.
The R•port&lt;r is also a source of pride
for Ron Stein, vice president for
University Relations, the division that
ovenees Uqivenity Publications beaded
by Nancy Tobin.
·· 1 Was in Los Angeles just - before
Christmas. The d irector of publications
for UCLA asked me if she could get on
the subscription list. She said she wished
they could have a publication at UCLA
as outstanding as the Reporter. I'm
flattered by th ose comments. It's not
unus ual for me to get those comments.
It's an award·winniog publication that
.this University is truly proud of."
The R•port&lt;r, which has been recognized for excellence with several awards
from CASE (Council on the Advancement and Support of Education), i.s now
well integrated into the University communit y . "It's hard to imagine th e
Unive rsity without a
Reporter. " mused
Finnegan . ... Isn't it?" 0

To act ive resea rchers on this ca mpus , the
almost month· lo ng semes1er breat is a golden
o pponumty to ca tch up o n thetr research . ThU
ts !he time when grad uate studenls and
professors can work full time o n !heir proJects

I he mtddle of wriung a paper or proposal. ro

(2} A lot of st udenlll rely on ihe bus service to
come to the North Campus. lbe:y an: forced

lack of transportation.
I hope something can be worked out in the
future 1o make UB more '"researeb~ricnted . "
As a mauer of (act, it is common for major
n::search universities to have some libraries
open 24 houn a day. In
1 think
Univenity Servlc::es thoukl realize tbat ror

is no such thing as a semester break. or 1pring

maintained throughout the entire year .
coune. it boih d own to tbe problem or

library open (and weD-stocked) U a top
priority.
I could have sent this k:tter as a memo to
Mr. R. Wqner. VP for University Services.
However, I hope an open letter like this ca.n give my colkq:UCI an opportunity to comment
o r elaborate on my concerns. Perhaps we can
stan a constructive dialogue between the

how to improve on our campus infrastructure.
Thank you for your attention.

Data bank_adds -resource
for research on Canada
By JEFFERY L JACKSON
Reponer S1aff

F

acuity, staff, and students doing
research on CAnada or Canadian-

related issues bave a new
resource at tbeir fingertips. UB
has become the third univenity in the
United States to have access to tbe
CANSIM (Canadian Socio-Economic
Information Management System) Uni·
versity base via the Canada-United
States Trade Center.
CANSIM is Statistic Canada's com·
puterized data bank and information
retrieval system that contains approximately 25,000 time~ries data items that
encompass entire historical records.
Access to the CANSIM data base is
provided to University faculty and
graduate students free of charge. There
an two exceptions. If someone is
receiving a research grant or other
funding, he or she is required to pay a fee
for the service. The second stipulation is
that the data can only be used for
research and academic purposes.
" No commen:ial purposes for tbe data
are allowed," said Bid han Chandra, a
graduate student in the Geography
Department wbo ovenees tbe implementation of the CANSIM Univenity base.
Anyone who uses data from the system is
required to acknowledge it. lf someone
wants access to the data set. Chandra
advised that he bring a 5.25-incb floppy
diskeue to the Trade Center where he or
another representative will "'download"
the data onto tbe disk.
According to Chandra, the Faculty of
Social Sciences was subscribing to the
CANSIM program but could not use it
because the University lacked the
software to access the data.
"The main problem was lack of
sufficient space on the Univenity's IBM
system," Chandra noted. The software
required to access the CANSIM
program would have taken up tbe entire
IBM system's space. To resolve this
problem. the U nivcrsity contacted
Statistics Canada and was told that the
software could be used through facilities
located at the Univenity of Guelph,
Ontario.
Another graduate student in the
Geography Department, Ted Eagan,

contacted Guelph and asked tbem to
borrow the tapes needed for UB faculty
and students to gain access to tbe data
bank. "The Univenity of Guelph was
very cooperative -we can\ thank tbem
enough,~ said Chandra, adding that UB
is connected to the computer facilities at
Guelph through tbe Telnet computer
network.
·
The CANSIM data base at Guelph is
managed by the Economics Department.
Chandra negotiated with Bo Wand·
schneider, data base manager at Guelph,
to provide UB witb the software for
manipulating the data base.

T

here is a rich array of data available
to n:searcben. Some of the topics
and areas of time-series data for
interested parties include:

• population
• system of national accounts
• capital and fmance
• domestic and external trade pauerns
• manufacturing and construction
• food and agricultu"'
• selected U.S. statistics
Data available is current up to 1987 .
" It will take a year or more to update the
data base according to Statistics
Canada," Chandra said. What this
means is that information pertaining to
the Canada-United States Free Trade
Agreement that took effect in January,
1989 is not included in the data base
program.
If researchers want data on a specific
topic. such as steel production in Canada
from 1947 to 1980, they must first
consult the data base di=tory. Whan a
subject area has been .located, Chandra
types into the computer an identification
number that accesses tbe data. The data
is kept in a computer account at the
University of Guelph and is tben
transferred to a user's VAX or IBM
account at the Unive'rsity.

The Trade Center will hold an open
house IOJIIOrrow from II a.m. to 3 p.m.
in 352 Fronczak Hall to introduce tbe
CANS I M data base to the U B
community . All faculty, staff, and
students doing research on Canadian·
related issues or who desire generaJ

information about Canada are invited to
auend . Refn:shments·will be served. 0

"Access to
the data
base is
provided to
University
faculty and
graduate
students
free of
··c harge."

�A New General Education Curriculu
FROM THE DEAN OF THE UNDERGRADUATE

COU.EGE ...
Over the past three years. the Underwaduate C.ollege
has been developing a proposal for revising the UB
general education program - a revision designed to
introduce into the program more structure, coherence,
and integration of knowledge. The proposal is now ready
for widespread review and discussion prior 10 fmal
revision and submission to the Faculty Senate. This
rcpon contains an overview and selections from the:
course descriptions.
The text of the full proposal is available from the
Underwaduate College. It contains detailed descriptions
and intellectual rationales for the course initiatives.
together with summaries of several pilot progr.um and
their eval uations. DocumC:ntary histories of the
d&lt;:velopment of these initiatives ~ also also availablefor review in the Underwaduate College, the
Undergraduate Library. and Lhe Chemisuy-Mathematics
librdry.
We encouragt- all interested persons throughout th'e
Unive nity to study the proposal and to sharc with us
their comments. To this end, ~ will be holding a series
of infonnational meetings wilh imercsted depanmems

and commiuees &lt;U well as two public hearings c~
accompanying box) to discuss th• proposal. We hope
Lhat everyone in~n:Sled in Lhe future of generdl
education at UB will take advantage of this opponunity
10 pan..icipatc in the review and discussion.

Summary:
The Unde~ Colleg&lt;
curriculum focuses ccntralty on a
variety of literacies and a fund of
commonality - ~ading and writing lkills. language: arts.. KientifK
lite=!· and. in the "World Civilization and ..American Pluralism"
coun.es, a measure of hi.slorica.l
and cultural lileney. However, it
abo presumes at C'VC1'f lcve1 of the
curriculum suges of methodological integration, from th~ critial
thinking stressed in the F~hman
Seminar p~. to the critical
examinanon of American culrure
in thf:' "American Pluralism "
course, to the · paradigmatic and

mrthodological concerns of the
junior-leve-l scienc~ courses, to the
creati~ goals of the writing and

requirement
Thus although in one sense t.h~
Collcgr curriculum branches out
in the counc of the student's
career, gnduallr making cOnlaet
with the student s evolving 5pCcial
imen:sts, in anothCf' it is constantly bound back together
through a widening circle of
meth_o~ological inquiry ~ from
c:-ummmg the pn:suppo.•uuons of
individual disciplines and faculties, to a conlront.ation of the:
methods of the ans and the- social

scienca. to. 6na.lly, in the senior
intqJrative COlU'5C, a confrontation of the methods of the humanities and the nawraJ Kiences
across a broad span ofhistory. lt iJ
the existence of an exnaDepanmental acade.mic institution like: the .Undergnduau: College that makes such a atrriculum
a possibility; we now seek the

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

noted. Even though the SUNY budget is

covenants had required. The bottom

problem that could develqp into a

ne issue that remains a concern for
Wagner is the dramatic amount of

added, noting that student offices currently housed in Talbert Hau will be relocated to the SAC. The total cost for the
additions to SAC will be SIB million.
The estimated construction start for the
project is Spring 1990.
Another project slated to begin construction this year is the Fine Ans Center, located on the North Campus behind
Alumni An:na. The stage in the main
auditorium will be 3,SOO square feet more than enough room to stage any
theatrical production. The center will
also bouse the Departments of An,
Theatre and Dance, and Media Study. A
construction contract has been awarded
to Bhandari (general contractor), with
construction overseen by consLrUctioo
architects Scaffidi &amp; Moore.

A committee made up of various

February in celebration of Black History
Month.

a: "Beyond the Dream U" videoconference and end with a speech by former
Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young on Feb.

Other events scheduled include: a coll&lt;&gt;quium on American pluralism, sponsored by the Undergraduate College, a
speech by former U.S. Representative
Shirley Chisholm, sponsored by Campus
Ministries for Black and Minority Students as well as the Martin Luther King
Day Commemoration with speaker Dr.
Reatba Clark King.
In addition, the Black Student Union
is planning a series of events, which will
include at least ·three speakers and one
cultural show. A photographic exhibit,
relating to BHM, in Capen Lobby is also
a poosibility.
The organization of activities is to
everyone's benefit, according to
Zuckerman.

"We all: trying to sensitize the history
and reinforce it in professors' curricula

Zuckerman said . "We want to have
professors sensitized to the .multicultural world."
This, Zuckerman believes, will lead to
a more widely accepted understanding of

ow can I help?" Sam Sand~rs asked Bill Brecne,
associate director of athletic development.
"How do I go about calling a -team
meeting?" Sanders asked former captain
Kevin Deakin minutes after being named
the Bulls' new head football coach.
Last week's press conference announcing his appointment had bar&lt;:ly ended
and the former UB grid standout was
ready to get started. At that moment
Sanders did not even have the keys to his
office.
His desire to get down to work was
understandable - the U B 1972 Athletic
Hall of Fame ind uctee had waited nearly
30 years for the opportunity. "I've
wanted to coach at UB for a very long
time - since 1961 ," the 1960 UB
graduate said.
The opportunity to fulfill his dream
came when Bill Dando retired last
November after 13 years as the ·Bulls'
head coach. "The se&amp;n:h committee
received 70 applications from candidates
from every comer of the country," said
U B Director of Athletics Nelson
Townsend.
The search resulted in a candidate who
was not even in this country. Sanders
had been working as the defensive line
and linebackers coach of the Canadian
Football League's Toronto Argonauts
since 1985.
'
A native of Kenmore, Sanders is glad
to be home.
"I enjoyed Canada, but I'm happy to
be back at UB. It's a dream of mine. It's a
fine academic school." Recruiting
athletes who will uphold this ima&amp;e is a
priority for Sanders as he begins his
search for a "freshman class."
"The first task is the issue of
recruiting. U B, itself, bas a high
academic standing and an outstanding
faculty," said Sanders, who earned a
master's in physical education from UB
in 1968.
"Our goal is to find the best studentathlete to represent this University the
way it should be represented.
" It's important to get a good freshman
class," be continued. "It's late (to be
recruiting), but we11 get the best class we
can geL"
Townsend confttrned that Sanders'
determination was a major factor in his
hiring. "Sam Sanders has coaching
experience at every level... a key element
in the decision was that he is quiet, yet
forceful.Sanders has had coaching stints at
high school and college levels, including
Silver Creek . Central, Lehigh -and
Northern Illinois. In 19n, he accepted
the head co.aching position at Alfred
University, establishing a 49-27-2 career
record.

signaled by Towmend'l annC&gt;lllii:Cment
that Bob Rich Sr. bad hoped to atleDd
the press conference, but wu unalilc to
cancel a business meeting.
Sanden' visibility is an auct that he
hopes to use in fund-raising for athletic
scholarships. "Fund raising is the most
important thing that has to be done and r-'
would like to take part," he said. "My

"The flnt question he asked me was,
'How are we doing? How can I help?'
said Breene. "I said, 'unpack and then
we'll unmap a strategy and go from
there."

A

Sam Sanders, new head football coach, says he'll aim for "the best student
athletes."

D

· uring this time, Sanders has
establisbcd not only what offensive
and defensive scbemel he likes to use,
but the types of priorities he wants to
instill in his albletes.
"My football philosophy has been
developed over many years, n be
explained. "M a defensive coach I've
seen every type of offense." For Sanders,
the Delaware Wing T is a possible
addition to the Bulls' game plan. He's
also considering a drop back passing
attack and the run-and.flloot offense
used by the Argonauts.

But some of Sanden' plans for the
team won't be found in the playbook.
"Priority . number one is education.
Number two is football involvement and
number th= is their social life," he
stressed . "Our job as coaches is to keep
those priorities in order - academically
and socially.
"Nelson Townsend is dedicated to a
mission. With his plan and approach (the
upgrade) is going to be successful. His
enthusiasm for the task he bas ahead
impressed me."
Sanders' prominence in Buffalo vhs

t last week's press conference,
Townsend also announced plans for
up8J"tding the football program. By
1993, football will otTer grants-in-aid and
play at the Division 1-AA levelln order
for this to happen, a 5420,000 baae for
scholanhipo will bave to be ·raised by
1991, said Town~end . · ·
A sketch of UB Stadium as it will
appear after renovations are completed
in 1993 was placed next to the table
where Sanders was seated.
"The bigger stadium brings interest up
- it's conducive to fans," Sanders $8id.
"Because the Univenity went from
private to state and then dropped
football for 10 yean, it set a precedent
for the students now. Division 1-AA is
the thing that will ctwrge that."
Though the Univenity is nearly ten
times as large as it was when Sanden
played on the 1958 Lambert Cup team,
be says he "would like to have (the spirit
aod championship team) here again - to
have that feeling."
UB's athletic department is moving up
and Sanders plans on making tbc climb
as well. That feeling has returned, and he
plans on spreading that feeling around
the UB community.
• 'The run to Division I.' I beard that
and I was excited. Anyone not excited
yet is going to get excited."

Graduate instruction hindered by new copyright regulation
rials on reserte. It is, [or example, never
possible to place more than a si ngle copy
of an article or chapter on reserve. And
there are byzantine guidelines concerning bow many anicles from a singJe
journ al can be placed on reserve at any
one time. If a professor or group of professors uses too many articles; restrictions are applied .
The copyshops are now much con• cemed with copyright. They assist the
professor in seeking to olitain permission
to reprint material. Unfortunately, the
system does not work well and teaching
is being seriously hampered.
The expertise of the copyshops in
obtaining permissions is in its infancy.
Some larger firms, such as Kinko's, have
a centralized copyrisbt office and agreements with some pubtisben. But the
agreements seem to be quite limited in
scope and local store managers know lit·
tie of the nuances of the system. And if a
professor wishes to use material from a
relatively obscure publieation or a journal or book published overseas, there are
real problems. Addresses eannot be
found and overseas publishers are even
less attuned to the new permission system than domestic firms.

specter is haunting unive rsity
teachi ng - overregulatio n by
the new lords of copyright.
The situa tion wi th regard to
the use of photoco pied material has gone
from anarchy. where vi rtually anything
was copied for a ny reaso n in the name of
.. fair usc ... to an era of ove rregulation.
Librarians who once had a ... what, me
worry?" attitud e toward photocopying
now try to be more Catholic th an the
pope when it comes to the enforcement
of the letter of the copyright regulations.
Copy shops. once willing to copy virtu·
ally anything for sale to students, now
enforce the copyright regulations with, a
vengeance, spurred to rectitude by law·
suits. Clearl y. the copyright establishment, mainly the publis hers, have won
all of the recent battles and the aeademic
system see ms to have come into complianct with a rather narrow view of
copyright.
All. however. is not well. Knowledge
distribution is being restricted and teaching, especially at the graduate level, is
hindered . The problem is not with large
undergradu ate courses, where professors
have a wide choice of textbooks and the
academic system is organized around the
use of textbooks and supplementary
materials. Here. the traditional system
worb: reasonably well.
Grad uate instruction is another story.
There are relatively fell! textbooks
because the markets are often small and
courses specialized . Indeed. it is likely
that the number of texts published [or
specialized subfields of graduate st udy
have declined because of the economics
of the publishing industry - texts for
limited markets do not pay. With the
ex traordinarily high prices of scholarly
books. it is si mply not possible for a pn&gt;fesso r to ask graduate st udents to purchase a number of hardcover volumes
for a co urse.
In the pas t seve ral decades, it has
become the norm in graduate courses for
a selection of journal anicles and some
book chapters to be assigned to students.
The professor, by judiciously choosing
among the most current scholarship in a
field , ean develop a r.oherent, relevant
and up-t&lt;Hiate set o[ readings. With current scholarship reflected more and more
in specialized (and increasingly expensive) scholarly journals, reliance on "tai·
lored" selections of readings has become
even more necessary.

refer all permissions requests to individual autbon wbo are virtually impossible

generous and ask for no fees for reprinting articles for small-&lt;:orollment gradu·

on to the student purchaser.
My own experience in trying to put
together a "tailored" book of readings
for a course enrolling 20 students at the
doctoral level has been a nisbtmare.
Starting more than four months prior to
the beginning of classes, I found that I

copyright holders myself (with mixed success), another quarter never responded

Statistics in new home:
fate n~t yet dec_
ided
By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN
Reporter Staff

T

o move or not to move is no
longer the question: As of Jan.
17, the Statistics Department is
physically, if not y~t hierarchically, in the School of Medicine and
Biomedical Sciences.
And the hierarchy change may come
soon as weU.
"I am pleased to see that this is coming
to a conclusion,"' said Peter Enis, a statistics faculty member.
The final decision on the department's
fate will soon be banded down by President Steven B. Sample. The issue in
question is whether or not the Department of Statistics will report to John
N augbton, dean of the medical school, in
place of Facility of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics (FNSM) Dean Tom George,
who currently oversees Statistics.
While these deliberations continued,
the department was physically moved
last week to the Cary-Farber-Sherman
medical school complex.
Several green lights preceded the
move. The flr;st was a vote by the
department to move. More recently, the
FNSM, in a mail b&amp;Uot, voted 48-40 with
10 abstentions to auow the move. Of the
140 FNSM faculty members, 70 pc;rcent
returned their b&amp;Uots .
.. That is a good vote return - it's over

two-thirds;· said John Ho, associate
FNSM dean. The vote came after last
semester's meeting with George and Provost William Greiner in which faculty
were invited to seck information about
the ramifications of the move.
"I think it speaks well for Natural
Sciences that as many of the facult y
attended the meeting as did - a lot of
members have taken the time to inform
themselves and took the time to vote ....
said Ken Levy, associate provost.
"My interpretation of that vote is that,
in an ideal world, a sizable percentage of
the faculty would like Statistics to stay
when: it is but given that we don\ have
an ideal situation, more of them thought
Statistics would have a brighter future in
the medical school than when: they an:,"
Levy said.
Anthony Ralston of Com puter
Science, who has led the fight against the
move, said he interprets the vote somewhat differently than a carte blanche
okay for the move.
"The majority is the majority," Ralston said, "although I guess it's fair to
say that if you get 48 out of 98 ballots

cast for something endoned by the dean
and five .out of six chairs, it's not exactly
a ringing endorsement."

T

be vote has partially cleared the way
for the move. "As a result of his own
decision and this vote, the dean has forwarded a formal recommendation to the
provost," Ho eXplained. "This is the first
time that the dean has fonnauy n:commendt;Ot the move."
"The dean of natural sciences wrote a
letter lo the provost informing him of the
vote and endorsing ihe recommendation
of the faculty that Statistics be transferred to the dean of the school of medicine," Levy conftrmed.

"In an ideal world, · a
sizeable percentage of
the faculty would like
Statistics to stay where
it is but. . .more thought
it would have a brighter
future in the
medical school:"
The next step is for GreineT tli'Glllke
recommendation to the president, who has final say in' the matter. ..Provost~
Greiner will prepare a draft letter to the
president which he will shan: with the
Faculty Senate Executive Committee at
the earliest opportunity," Levy said.
But Ralston vowed that the fight will
continue ... 1 think we should have an
interesting debate in the Faculty Senllte.
I think, depending on how the vote in t he
senate goes, it will be very important in
influencing the decision," he said.
"It's an issue with very important
University-wide ramifications. I think if
the senate votes against the move, that
will have to be taken into account."
However, Levy said that the senate has
traditionauy not played a big role in such
situations ... It's unprecedented when a
department and a faculty have a wish to
do something, for the Faculty Senate to
· get involved at all."
According to Faculty Senate Chair
William Miller. the senate cannot forc::e
the president to keep Statistics in
FNSM . "The se nate is only an advisory
body." he said .

Not only bas the FNSM cleared the
way for Statistics to leave, but in a Dec.
2 J meeting, the medical school executive
committee voted to acct:Qt Statistics if it
chose to move.
Saxon Graham, chair of Social and
Preventive Medicine, told the committee
that if the department moved, it would
still be a department of statistics and will
not be_ changed to a department of
biostatistics.
The medical school has not pursued
the Department •of Statistics, John

Naughton, dean of the scbo.ol, told the
executive committee.
In a phone interview, Naughton
emphasized that the medical school has
not played an active role in the matter.
" We would never make an attempt to
seek another school's department."
By pllyai!'8lly placing statistics in the
medical school, Naughton said be hopes
a synergistic reaction with social and
pn:veiuive medicine'will develop. "If you
bring two groups closer together, you
will further the interactions which wil\
lead to enrichment of both programs." a

Johnstone to be here Feb. 3 for SUNY .Senate ·session
By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN
Reporter StaH

ang on to your hats; the
SUNY eq u ivalent to the
Faculty Senate is roaring into
town. On Feb. I, the executive
committee meets, and on Feb. 2 and 3,
the en tin: SUNY senate, officially known
as the University-Wide Faculty Senate,
will meet in the Center for Tomorrow.
Chancellor D . Bruce Johnstone will be
hen: for the Feb. 3 session.
The senate is comprised of "representatives from all the SUNY campuses,
except the community colleges ,"
explained Ed Jenkins, one of UB's four
SUNY senators and chair of the
operations committee. Je~ is an
associate professor of learnmg and

H

instruction. The other three UB
representatives an: Barbara Howell of
Physiology, Dennis Malone of Electrical
Engineering, and Claude Welch of
Political Science.
In addition, "the president of the
faculty council, which is the senate for
the community colleges, will alw attend,"
Jenkins said.
Then: will be roughly 50 senators, said
Karen Markoe, president of_ the
University-Wide Faculty Senate. Markoe
is also a professor of humanities at the
State University Maritime College.
The senate is the "official governance
of SUNY," Markoe explained. "We mo:ct
three times a year. At every meetina, the
chancellor comes and apprises us·or University concerns."
· . , . ,.,
"It's the sta!c-wide faculty senate that

presents the 'official opinion' (of the
faculty) to the trustees and the
chancellor," Malone said.
arkoe said that at this ~tina. she
el&lt;JICCl&amp; the cbanoellor to. address
some questions that abe has brought to
his attention concerning: program

M

assesamcnt, research and academic
fn:edom, ,ac:ademic standards and access,
~tatua of faculty and staff brought in
under affirmative aciion propams, and
the problems·with findinJ replacements
for retiring professora.
Because the go.vemo(s l!udget comes
out in January, the FebruatX meeting is
• the senate's fint cbancc to discjUs
•budgetary issues for the coming year. To ·
help. the aeoa'tc. .ip its diseuuions of
budgetary issues, Markoe · bas invited

William H. Anslow, the SUNY vice
chancellor for business and finance.
The meetings on Friday (from 9 until
about S) and Saturday (from 8:30 to
about I) an: open to the public. Markoe
urged those interested to take advantage
of this opportunity to see the senate in
action.

... encourage students to come."'
Markoe said . "I particularly want
studenls to see J.hat they 1m: pari of a
UrUyeQity."

The meetings are primarily business
but so,metilnes there's fun. At tbejr last
meetin&amp; "roib supplied us with aT-tbirl
and eyerybody WorcJoit to the goeeting the

W ..smoking

ilson said that the establishmcttt of

an. I brought in lftOre than new
calendan, at least for smoken in
New y ork State. Strict tegulations on the plal:cs that11 penon
caa smoke have been instituted, and the
Uni~ity, u a public space, is tightenina its pre..:xisting ~ policy toward

restaurants or food service areas
provided that at least 70 percent of the

space is reserved for non..moken. Selfenclosed Mamoking rooms" are also
permiuible, us~ they are sealed off
from any public area.
·
According , to Clifford Wilson ,
Usoc:iate vice p~cnt for human
rcsowcea, the UniVenity bas had a
smoking pillicy in cff~ for ODe and a
half yean that complied With pre. existing Eric County laws regarding
smoking in public areas. "1be county
laws prohibited smol5ng in clusrooms,
auditoriums and elevators, and this has
been the county code for many yean,"
Wilson said.
UB's pre-existing smoking policy also
instituted codes tQtri&lt;:tin8 smoking in
the workplace, prohibiting smoking in
areas ~at were the primary location of
employees, accordiJ18 to Wilson. "1be
new state law is all~compassing," he
said. MTbere is no smoking in any public
-area..
Wbat this means is that the "relief
'lvalve" for emplcyees who could not
smoke in the office bas been closed off,
and they will have to go farther to find a
place to have a cigarette. U nJess they
work with smokers.
The UB policy and the new law allow
SJru)~g in a worlcplace if all of the
employees in the space "8ff"' to define
the area as a smoking area. However, if
there is any dissent, the area cannot be
defined as such.
· ..In many offices, the workspace is
defined as 'non .. moking'," Wilson said.
"So people who wanJ,ed to smoke would
go to a nearby lounge or smoking area.
The new law removes the nearby area."
The new law aiJo bas implications for
students who smoke. Since the law
allows smoking areas only in selfcontained rooms -or cafeterias-; some
popular smoking areas on i:ampils will become smoke-free.
MTbc Baldy walkway is a corridor,
even tliough · food · is served·" thcre,"
Wilson said. "It mUst ·be non.m&lt;Jking."
Similar locations, such ,as the. ""nding
. machine area on the. _second floor · of
~pt;n, .~ .~o~ de~n~ as-non-smokipg.

1

rooms" would be

Mproblcmatic" because of the lack of free
space on campw.
One · of the difficult questions that
remains is that of enforcemcllt of the new
law. An organization that fails to
institute the regulations or an individual
smoker who violates them could receive
a ftne of $1000.
Ml have no idea oftbe role, if any, that
Public Safety will play in the enforcement

"In many offices, the
workspace is defined ·
as 'non-smoking,' so
people who wanted to
smoke would go to a
nearby area. The new
law removes the
nearby area."

of the new law," said Lee Griffin,
Public Safety director. "Use of our
enforcement personnel would be only a
very last resort.
..There arc more atudenta who smoke
tbao (loCUlly or Jtaf{,"
added. And l
think that the students respect each

Clues to health
in prehistoric sites
By SUE WUETCHER

T

he large mounds. conspicuous
earthworks scattered through out the Lower Ill inois River
Valley, have been biological
anthropologist Jane Buikstra's domain
for more than 20 years.
For Buikstra. a professor of anthropo logy at the Univer.;it y of Chicago and
a member of the National Academy of
Sciences. these and other prehistoric burial sites are the keys to constructing a
"human biology of the past."
Buikstra, considered by man y of her
colleagues to be one of the world's foremost authorities on prehistoric human
remains, is panicularly interested in
issues relating to long-term changes in
health and disease. She excavates burial
sites and analyzes the sk:elctaJ remains to
Jearn about diet, disease and cullure.
.. What we're trying to do is uso their
remains as son of autopsies to make
inferences about how they lived and who '
they were, .. said Builcstra, who was on
campus recently to deliver a lecture.

2,000 year; ago
She also has pl~nned projects in Peru
and Spain.
Whi le most archaeo logists interested
1n burial sites tend to focus on th e
mo und s them selves, Buikstra has
widened her scope to include the area
surrounding the earthworks.
..The sites are much larger than that
(the mounds)," she said. "There is a lot of
information from related activities (such
as villages) that should be investigated,"

added, notins that these people were particularly vulnerable to the Western diseases, especially influenza, that were
brought to the New World via Spanish
explorers:
Buikstra said her research bas helped
settle the issue of whether there was a
tilbereulosis-lilr.e pathogen in the New
World. "We established the fact that in
terms of tbe skeletal remains, it does
look very tubereulosis-lilr.e," sbe said.
Her work in Peru and Spain will continue alona these lines.
The arid environment in Peru helps to
preserve skeletons, sOft tiuues and, frequently, pathOJCns in desiccated forms.
Examining these remains may give
researcben "a real reading of the history
and nature of New World disease," she
said.
ln the two-year f~eldwork and laboratory pro~ in Spain, which sbe hopes to
fund with a National Science Foundation grant, Builtstra will be looking at
late pre-Columbian or medieval remains
to build a "skeletal documentation" of
the Iberian Peninsula.

Rather than simply working with
remains that are brought into her lab,
Builtstra wqrks in the field to recover tbe
remains. She is one of tbe few biological
anthropologists who excavate their o~
sites. This allows her to control any
biases by desigtiing the actual field structure, she said.
Buikstra said her devotion to the fielil

New York's science education 'inadequate,' Sample says
By ANN WHITCHER
Reporter Editor
espitc improvements in science
education. New York State is
glaringly inadequate when
compared to economic competitors in Western Europe and the
Pacific Rim , President Sample told the
Univer.;ity Council recently.
It is a failure of preparation, he said.
that th reatens the competitive stance of
the entire nation.
Sample was reporting on Gov. Cuomo 's Conference on Science and Engineering Education, Research and Development , wbicb be- chaired. The
December event began an extended
analysis of science" and engineering education and its tics to the competitiveness
of New York industries.
Sample is also heading a policy steering committee charged with developing
~a blueprint to make sure New York
State remains competitive in this area.
"We have gotten better. But other.; are
going forward, and not juSt other countries but probably other states."
Sample tben.cited New York's modest
progress compared to th.e sciencetechnology education featS of other
nations, especialiy in the Pacific Rim and

D

in Western Europe.
.. We've lost dramatic &amp;round relative
to certain ot.ber nations ... The problem is
-most seve re, .. Sample said, at the elementary and secondaiy levels.
.. We have become so accustomed aS
Americans to being on top of everything.
that we tend . to compare our progress
relative to :.vhere we were a decade or
two ago. And that's a mistake. The only
comparison that counts today is how are
we doing relative to other states, and
how the United States is doing compared
to other nations.""
The answer, Sample said , .. is very,
very poorly.
"The other nations have established a
standard of excellence that is far beyond
anything that we as Americans can even
conceive of, at the elementary and
secondary levels."
When looking at elementary and
secondary education "1"or our best onethird," Sample said, "we're significantly
behind some of our competitors. But
when you look at elemen!My and secondary education for the academically
weakest one-third of our population, vs.
the l¥eakest one-;tbird of theJapanese,
Germans, Taiwanese, and the Russians,
we are just off the chart. We aren l even

close."
The best Japanese secondary students,
he said , are fluent in mathema tics far
beyond the best American seco ndary
students. And the weakest Japanese students have a rudimentary knowledge of
calculus and po~ facility in algebra
and geometry.
But, said Sample, "the weakest third
of our secondary st udents. especial ly in
the State of New York , canl read or
write . . . . Many of them are functional
illiterates."

A

s a consequence, Sample remarked ,
"when we try to apply modern production techniques in the United States,
we don't have the workers who can do it
who can work with the machines, at tb~
level of excellence and the standards of
quality" that exist elsewhere.
One bright spot, Sample said, is the
American system of college and universi ties, whkh, he s~ated , .. are by almost any
measure, the best in the world.
... Particulariy at the graduate level. we
have a lock. . But that gap is narrowing
very quickly.
""We have a lot more intercourse
between our research universities and
industry than any other nation in the

L

.

world. There's a much better rate of
technology transfer between our university researeh labs and industry. But that
can be a little misleading in that most
nations concentrate their research not i"
universities, but in national research
institutes ....
New York 's challenge goes beyond the
national need "to double the percentage
of young people who are prepared and
motivated for technological and scientific careers, if we want to remain even
remotely competitive with these other
nations in a united Europe and the
Pacific Rim," Sample told the council.
"The challenge in New York State is
much tougher, because our school-&lt;~ge
population is quickly becoming a majority of minorities. U you look at the rate
at which minorities enter scientific .:Od
technological occupations, ifs much
lower than the rate at which majorities
enter.
"So for many of our sub-populations,
we're going to have quadruple or even
quintuple tbe rate at which say, blacks,
· in New York are l!repared and motivated
for scientific and technological careers.
"lf we fail to do that, we wiU not
remain economically competitive with
our sister states:"

nrough rain, sleet, hail or snow,
the Campus Mail Department
is dedicated to delivering your
frogs, snakes, gas cylinders and
whatnot to their appointed destinations.
- If it bas a stamp on it, we arc obligated
to deliver it," said Joseph Sicurella, bead
mail and supply clerk. The department
handles all campus and federal mail that
needs delivery.
Though, the department handles little
creatures and gas cylinders, there are, of
co urse. some restrictions. The mail must
weigh less than 70 pounds and measure
less than 108 inches in length and girth.
Also, the department "can only accept
mai l that is for official university business: we are not supposed~o deliver mail
fo r private use," SicureUa pointed out.
Thus, even if it is appropriate, it may be
bes t to avoid puttinl!, "Conebead" next to
the name of a well-read friend on' the
other side of the campus. At least, if you
want the letter to get there.
Despite the fact that silly nicknames
may cast doubt on the Iegitimacyqfyour
letters, the Campus Mail Department
handles an enormous amount of mail. ln
November, for example, they delivered
the following:
• 6 7,000 pieces of return business mail
• 560,000 pieces of campus mail
• 55,000 pieces of metered mail
• 623,000 pieces of first class mail
• 5,000 parcel post deliveries
• I040 special deliveries
• 52,000 newspapers (mostly the
Reporter)
• 20,000 UPS deliveries
• 672 gas cylinders
That boils down to about 50,000 pieces
of mail per day. With business like that,
one might expect a proportionally large
staff. But the department has a total staff
of 2 I people. Twelve of those arc
em ployed to deliver the moun!Jiins of
mail, and eight others do all of the sorting. So you might expect about a week
before your friend Conebead sees your
letter, right?
Actually, no. AI Ryszka, associate for
campus services, who oversees the mail
department, asserts that the mail service
provides next day delivery. In fact, be
extended an invitation to the community
to come in at five o'clock on a workday to
see the proof. "All of the first class mail
and campus mail we receive during the
day is sorted and ready to deliver for the
next day."

A

em~ably, the mail sorting is done

entirely by band.
"We receive it from the post office,
first of all," said sicuiella, describing the
pathway of the averqe letter. "1ben it
goes to the aorting tables and is put illto
the appropriate rack. At the eDd of the
day, the letter is put in uac:k .o ra buJI9le

Naturally, Ryszka pointed out, "the
mail department grew steadily in proportion to the growth of the university. We
deliv_!'r more mail than many branches of
the post office." The campus mail
department is not actually a federal post
office.
The post offices in the bookstores on
the South and North campuses, on the
other band, are called "contract stations," SicureUa said. "They arc actual
post office stations, though the bookstore runs them - they have a contract."

In general, Sicurella said, the most
important thing to have on your letter is
the department and the building. "This is
how we sort thC mail,'' Sicurclla
explained. "For example there are several possible places to deliver a letter that
is just marked ·nuclear medicine'."
If the address of a letter is unclear,
Ryszka said, the staff will research its
proper destination as time allows, and
send it off. If this fails, the letter will be
returned to the sender.
Even though Campus Mail picks up
mail from departments once per day,
there are red mailboxes io strategic locations on campus to allow pickup of the
mail after the departmental pickup. "A
person with a nine o'clock pickup might
generate mail all day. lbey can deposit

Hrstoric structure report is prelude to needed restoration of the Martin House.

Chicago firm to prepare
report on Martin House
By JEFFREY TREBB
Reponer Staff

he prestigious 'chicago architectural firm of Hasbrouck
Peterson Associates has been
commissioned to prepare an
historic structure report on the DaJV(in
D . Martin House, the University has
announced.

T

Located at \25 Jewett Parkway, the
Martin House, a nationaJ historic landmark. was designed by Frank Lloyd
Wright and is an outsta nding exam ple of
his .. prairie" style. h was purchased by
the Universi ty in 1967 as a residence for
then UB President Martin Meyerson.
In mak-ing the anno uncement Dec. 19,
Bruno Fre$chi. dean of the School of
Architecture and Planning. spoke of the
histori c st ructure report as a prelude to
eventual restoration of the property.
"This is a very important day," he said.
"The University is committed to helping
restore this place. It's symbolic of the
recognition by all involved of the impo.-tance of the Martin House to Buffalo
and the nation - it is, after all. a
national landmark."
Freschi then alluded to tbe possible
future role of the State Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation in
the building's future by introducing Julia
Stokcs, the office's deputy commissioner.
The state office is also interetted in the
house 's restoration and is, as Stokes
explained , "very anxious to add tbis
property to our system of 34 historic
si tes." The Martin House could then be
run as an historic site, an open house
museum and perhaps as a center for the
state's historic preservation activities in
the area, she said.
If, as many hope, t~e Martin House is
eventually acquired and operated by the
State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation , the property
would become the fust bistoric site in
Western New York outside of Old Fort
Niagara. It would also be the fmt Wright
structure or 20th century residence
amons the department's holdings.
Yet Stokes noted that any f~
acquisition by her offiCe would be continseDt .on ill ability, in a time of decli.nins capilal resources, to secure the
flUids n:mmnrMcd by the Hasbrouck
report for repair and reitoration as well
as operatina ~ to staff the bouse.

un~que

'"sitting devices" 1n Parker Hall

a. dazzling variety of individual seating pieces -

For the second year in a row. the students produced

everything from rope-strung designs that hung from the ceiling to sit-or-recline canvas
concoctions. The devices were built over a period of months in the Parl&lt;er Hall workshop for
the Dec. 18 demonstration which was open to press and public.
Students paid for their own materials, which ranged in cost from $90-$150. Among the materials used

were beodable plywood, maple, poplar. cheny, walnut. oaJ&lt;

erod

scrapgoods, as well as leather. steel, Plexiglas and metal netting.
Among the novel exhibits were:

• Joe Cohen's "mobile" sitting device. a massive weighted visual
whimsey in steel, rope and wood that balances the sitter on one
1 ·

end of a giant Calderesque mobile.

• TCldd&gt; Marsh's ·hanging wooden bowl that embraces the sitter

as he gently ~.two feet off the,g~nd. A study in textural
contrast, ifs madle from sq1t birch veneer slats laced together with
thick, rough coils of hemp.

• Kim Ribando"s wire tension hanvnock.

an ~t-foot-long arc

of wood strung with guy wires to form a massive device
reminiscent of a delicate medieval bowed instrument
• Tim Leary's "electric chair," complete with

ear~

stereo

speakers and an CMlltlead light, similar in size and shape to the headpiece of SingSing prison's electric chair.
• lllya Lasting's dual purpose canvas sling chair that lets a user srt on one side or
lie clown on the other at a 45-degree angle.

were all undergraduate or graduate students in the UB School

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

a fault
Discovery may change
site of nuclear .d ump
By DAVID SNYDERMAN
Reporter Staff

A

fter last month's eanbquake in
California, most people would
be uneasy to ftnd that there's a
fault running through their
comm unity. In Allegany County, bowever, some residents gre~:ted the recent
discovery of a· tocaJ fault as good news.
When UB geologists Robert Jacobi
and John Fountain unearthed the fact
that the Clarendon-Linden fault continues into Allegany County, it brought
chee,. because it could mean that New
York State will choose riot to pick their
county as a nuclear waste dump.
By federal law, all states must begin
storing low level radioactive waste by
1993. In its quest for a place to keep its
waste, New York identified five potential
sites. Three of them were in Allegany
County.
But the discoV&lt;:ry by Jacobi and Fountain may fon:e NCiiio York to rethink
Allegany as a viable site. Before they
began enminin&amp; the fault closely, "the
published data indicated that the
Clarendol&gt;-LindtD Fault stopped .at the
Allegany County line," explained Fountain. "No one had done the necessary
work to determine if it went down any
further."
Fountain said that there was no proof
that the fault stopped at the QOunty line,
it was just that no one bad shown it to
continue. "If you haY&lt;: something that
goes for 500 miles and the last piece of
data that you baY&lt;: says it's ·still a major
fault, most geolopts would say il might
rontinuc. lbcre was very little evidence
one way or the other."
Fountain and Jacobi haY&lt;: added the
fault to the map .. "We baY&lt;: shOwn that
the fault system extends into Allegany
County. We tbinlc we've demorislrated
that the fault rontinues through each of
the three proposed sites," Fountain said.
If the discovery of the fault means that
the state ,.m choose not to place the low
leV&lt;:! radioactive waste storage site i'n the
rounty, Allegany residents will haY&lt;: reason to be happy. But discovery of the
fault is not enough, Fountain said. •· .

seismic hazard associated with the fault .
You must show that the fault is seismically actiV&lt;:."
.
At this point, there are no records to
ind~te that the fault might ea~~~e earthquakes. But "inactivity for 2tl yean does
not .m ean that there will not .be activitx in
the 21st year. This is -classical negative
evidence."
The two geoloaists recently proposed
to the commission char&amp;ed }vith picking

They plan to do this by looking at
records ~ored in the rqc:k around tlie
fault goin&amp; bacJ&lt; to the last ice age. Much
of this rock was laid down by retreating
glacien. "One of the objectives of our
proposal to the siting commission is to
determine if there are histotical records
of earthquake activity," Fountain said.
"The glacial sediments that we .wish to
study con.tain a record of 10,000 years. If

"Our interpretation of that was that

"We were interested in fmding out

Jacobi and Fountain traced the fault
by • following the gas seeps and looking
at well log data," Fountain explained.
"This technique is the basic information of petroleum geology so it is a rompletely established fteld : . . using this, we
were able to locate the fault at two locatjons,"' Fountain said.

�All must speak out in the struggle against intolerance
By STEVEN B. ·SAMPI.E
n his famous letter from the:
Birmingham jail, Dr. Martin
Luther King. Jr. wrote that
"injustice anywhere is a threat-to
justice everywhere." Today, over 25

I

years later, we ha_ve made some
signifiC81tt progress toward securing the
civil rights and pet'1onal freedoms of
every American; yet we must continue
to be vigilant in protecting the human
dignity of each member of our society.
And we must struggle against injustice

and intolerance at all levels, from the
national to the local. Unfortunately,
evidence of such intolerance is still
common in our everyday lives, whether
that evidence is an offensive remark
sc rawled on a wall or a slur overheard

in a hallway. These injustices remain a
threat to justice everywhere, and we
must take an active stance against
them.
Man y people may find it threatening

/ · to encounter a lifestyle, ani tude, or set
_

of cultural assumptions different from

their own. Some of us respond to this
sense of being threatened by making
cruel and degrading remarks or
gestures which belillle the per30n who
is different. What's more, even if we

ourselves are not the offenders. we may
stand idly by while othen demonstrate
hostility toward people whose religion,

race. ethnicity, sex, or sexual preference
di1Tet'1 from our own. Yet it ;. precisely
that indifference, that willingness to let
cruelty and intoleranoe pass
unrema.rk.ed, that we must combat.

How much easier life would be if
each of us were responsible only for
himself or hei1Clf.' But io fact each of
us·i&gt; conncc:ted to the: fate of everyone
else ill very iinpon'ant ways. Some 350
yean ago the: poet John Doone wrote:

No man i.r 1111 i.rland, mtln of

th.r~fon nrwr send to know for

thu.
Donne reminds us that tbe
investment each of us bas in the fate of
other .people is not entirely altntistic.
He is saying, "l need to defend my
neighbors' rights agzressively - if not
for thtir sakes, thc:n for mine. ~ In the:
context of developing reapect fdi'
human differences, thi. principle
requires us to do moril than just refrain
from speaking or p g in a hateful
manner. l believe it also requires us to
speak out apinst hatred and biaotry,
no matter wben or where we find them.
Each of us must actively encourage that
respect for human rights and diBJ1ity
which lies at the heart of our American
ethic.

F

ortunately only a very smaU
fraction of our academic ·

community perpetrates coward ly acts of
intimidation and narassment, whetner
written, spoken. or physical, and
usually these acu are directed toward a
relatively small group of people. Thus
the majority of us are often left in tne
position of witnesses. But if we are to
create hen: at UB a learning
environment which welcomes everyone

An ecMelnlc plan
for the Unrvaralty
Early in the Summer of 1966,

Praident Meyenon appointed an
advimry commiuo: to devise an
academic plan for the UnivtrJity.
R.L Kencr, Oe.an of the Graduate
School chain that committee.
September 6, 1966, the Comminec
~ports out a prospec:tus for an
academic plan cxpJUSinJ reservations
about the shan time available to it to
complete iu work .
lbc proposed academic: plan
ruggats orpnizing the Univtnity on
a eoUcae or collegiate model. Two
types of collegiate units were
envisioned :
(I) Academic/ programmatic i.~.
such as our Sehoob and Faculties:
(2) RcstdcntiaJ - but
cncompu.sins wmc curricular

"The authors of the
report were
struggling with two
issues.:. how to
develop UB into a
major University
and how to
preserve the
intimacy and
values of a college
experience. "

elements.

/

U B, to its history and
context?
And bow 1fi4. it relale to the soc:ial
context of lbe tt.:?
N to Lhc former, il appean to me
that the oew loodenbip oC UB paid
too little attention. It wu al.most 11 if
the 116 yoan ieo&lt;fin1 up to 1962 and
the SUNY meraef'~ best
fofJOitcD. AAd u to t:YeDta ocxu.rriq
in the 1arJer loc:iety, no1 much more
wu beina said, at least overtly, in the
plaa.nina proccues of tbc: day.
Lyndon Johnson would soon be
aone, and, more trqically, so would
Robert F. K.e.nnedy, and Martin
Luther Kina. The civil ri&amp;hta
revolution would continue in hiab
gear, Mi.uissippi could bum, Vietnam
could rqe on. bUt academic rdonn
at UB would oo:ur on a paDd scak
in terms or an ahltrac:t.ly formulated
collegiate ideal, all gencrowly
supported by the Albany Medici on
behalf of tbc: peopk or New Yorlr..

Read again some n yean later , the
prospectus is hardly a cryslaJ clear
pracription, but it appcan to this
~&amp;Ocr that the autbon of the n:pon
wtn: stnaglioa with two iuuQ. The
one was bow to de..-elop UB into a
major Uniw:nity; the other was bow
to preserve in a major univenity the:
mtimacy and the values of a collei'C
u,pcrienec, an eastc:m eoUcsc
uperiencc.espcciaJJyfor
u.ndcrarachwe lludents. but abo for
Jfaduate studentt and faculty. The
path to m.jor Uniw:mty slatus was
probably reasonably dc:ar emptw.izr researc.b and vaduate
education, and nxruit a faculty aood
at tbOK thinp. This wu the counc:
followed or bcina foDowed at major
univoen.itics, botb public and private ,
in t.be post-war )'UI'IPraervina coUtce values in a
university, c:s:pccial1y in a larJe: public
un.ivenity, wu noc. JO euy a task.
Elite priVate uni"t'eflitics - such as
Yak and Harvard - bad mona
u.ndcrJrlduate collqes at their ~re.
but it was not t.bm, nor il it now,
easy to fincf a similar tradition in the
public univenity ac:c:tor. UB ift 1962
luld sueh a tradition, but that was in

Taking care
of .your

ag1ng
parents
!I is well known that one mother can
take care often children, but ten children
cannot take care of one molher. Ancient Proverb
(FROM PAREfffCAR£ - JARVIK &amp; SMALL
PUB. 1988)

According to the authorll of the
above book, iocruscs in medical
technology and economic changes have
combined to crute the phenomenon of
the "sandwich scncration•- those
born·in the 40s and SOs who find
themselves cauaht between the needs of
their own cbildren and those of their
p~ts.
.
As a population, we an: living looser
- statistics abow tlw those over 65
have inc:reuCd from 4 percent to II
perc:ent of our population aiDce 1900.
PflCDts who an: liviD&amp; ...,ll intq their
70. and 80t are "inc:roaaiaaiY d~t ·

upon their chilciren for varying levels of
emotional, economic. and social
support.
At the same time, our .children who
have been born later may stiU be
dependent upon us and living a1 home.
We an: cauaht between two generations
and in a reverial of roles with our
parents for which we are .unprepared.
Iroruc.uy, as our children ~me more .independent and eatablish tbeU: own .
lives, our pan:nts' dependeDC:e and
involvement in our lives increaaea. 'The
· drain on families can be emotionally
and financially overwbelminJ.
Experu in the f~eld or'aging ~
that there are many upecU of care and
suppon needed by aging parents which
111ust be examined in determining what
the family can do and what outside
. resources or assistance may be needed.
For example, Car~ving: H~lping An
Ag~d Lo~d One· Jo Home (AARPpub. 1985) suggests that the following
topics be considered:
FINANCE
• Parents' needs and resourc:es.
• Ability of children to uaist in
managing resources, defining and
mCFting needs.
• Availability of outside assistance.
• Legal,considerations.
HOUSING
• Can parents maintain their own
home.
,
• Moving in with children.
• Adult residences.
• Adult day care.
• Respite care.
• Nursing homes.
HEALTH CARE
• General state of pan:nts' health.
• IUness or disability.
• Medication.
• Doctor visits.
• Nursing or otlltr assistance needed.
• Hospitalization.
NUTRinON
• ·c:bangins diet&amp;ry needs of the aging.
• Ability of parents to plan and
prepare needs.
• AasistaDce provided by family.
• Community resources. ·

SOCIAL

.

• Ability of parents to coniuiue social •
.
actiyjt\es.

• Clubs and community sroups.
• Transportation.
• Family gatherings.
~mong the community resources in the
Western New York area for those
providing care to elderly family
members an: the following:
• Coordinated Care Manascment

The Faculty of Natural
Sciences and M athemalics
(FNSM ) met Dec. I , 1989, to

d iscuss the: proposal to transfer the

-Depanmc:nt of Statistics, in toto, to the
School of Med lti ne and Biomedical

Sciences (SMBS).
The: Provost presided in an informal style
ove r most of the meeting, which lasted a
little over two hours. A handful of
interested faculty from outside FN S M al.so

attended. including Dean Trigglc:, but
excluding anyone fr om SMBS.
Right at the outset it was decided that the
proposal wo uld be voted on by FNSM·
facuhy via a mail ballot. The FNSM·facult y
takes a rather parochial view of th is maHer.
con.s idcring it only their concern.
Rigbt before the end of the meeting it
was decided th at the ballot wouJd contain a

simple one·liner. to

be

voted up or down, to

the effect .. that the Department of Statistics
be transferred lo SMBS." It

Wa.5

underscored that this is an advisory vote
o nly. so the outcome does not bind the
Dean. a slightly ominous prospect.
The Provost expressed the wish that it be
an informed vote, and since only a smaU
subset of those eligible to vote, perhaps 30
all told , were present at the meeting.. thi!
Viewpoint may help that wish come true.
I will advise a negative vote, a vote
against the Jiove, and hope that one of
those reacfting a different conclusion will
argue the case in favor.
ln concrete terms the move would entail
a whoiC:~ale transfer of all current (IO.S)
FTE lines, plus one or two additional tines
thrown in counesy of the Prov01t's Office,
plus about SIOOK in funds from a variety of
so urces. The move would free up some
offices in Ellicott. SMBS would provide for
several thousand square feet of space. as
we ll as, one may hope , a hearty welcome.
The departmental faculty is lopsidedly m
favor of the move. This is a drastic
turnaround from their unamimou.s
objections against such a move, forcefull y
expressed in writing in February of 1989:
..that moving the Department of Statistics
would NOT be in the best interest of
FNSM , the Univenity , or its students."
I will try to explain how this volt~foc~
might have come about.
There aR. currently five filled faculty
lines, and two vacant faculty lines in
statistics. The Triggle committee's main
recommendation , which they calJ ""critical ..
anll ..crucial .. is that these two lines be
filled , one by a Chair to be appointed
joi ntly with SMBS, on a shared line.
This recommendation dates from April of
1988, but ever since both the Dean and the
Provost, si ngly and jointly, have adamantly
refused to have either of these lines filled.

n May of 1989 the faculty in.statistics
met with Dean Naupton of SMBS, and
he offered to aoccpt them under his wing, as
a newly-to-be-foi"1Jl&lt;d independent unit. He
!]lode the faculty feelloV&lt;d and wanted, a

I

novel expcrieooe for them.
In July Auociate Provost and (so I
believe) ACtina Chair of Stalistics Levy
wrote to DcaDs George and Nauahton that
if the tnmlei co.uld be aareed upon by aU
involved. tJom permission to recruit into the
two VICIJlt liDa would be annt&lt;d.
Many faculty, iDclutlina myaelf, fail to
undentiDd wby such 1 permiaion to recruit

(into .a pooition liJifled out 01 pivotal in the
Trigle coltltllitUe rq&gt;&lt;&gt;rt) is loold bootqe to '
this Lraalfer.
.
At the moetina Dean TriaJe alated that
bis rq&gt;&lt;&gt;rt does - predudo; IIUdl a move,
but in fact the report exjilicitly, ll&amp;ta: "We
have aa:ordinaJy CODiidorod ae;rioasly

.

states that depanmental and faculty
structures aR. of dwindling' importance, and
yet it appean the decisive issue here. One
wonders why.

Why will the statistics depanment be
allowed to hire into vacant lines after
transfer to SMBS. but not into these same

lines. while they stay in FNSM? ~only;_
answer 1 can think of (but others _may be
more imaginative than I) is that it forces the
hand of the depanment to accede to such a
transfer, and I will be the last to blame
them for in fact making that choice, given
the cin::umstarK:es.
Yet, I believe it is unwarranted, and
indeed flatly .a t variance with the historical
ev idence on reco rd over many, many years,
to view this vote as an expression of the
true preferences of the faculty under ultris
{XIribus conditions.
Other things being the same, they would
clearly prefer to stay in FNSM. Aod the
only reason why other things are not-the
same is Dean Geprge's incomprehensible
approach to nurturing the departments
under his stewardship.
s to ihe merits of the move, I invite
you to ponder on the following points:
• What on eanh prompts one to think
that the search for a Chair in statislics Will
be facilitated by a move to SMBS?-hi any

A

medical school a person with "just a Ph.D."
(rather than an M.IJ,) is a second· ratc:
citizen.
• What on eanh prompts one lo thi nk
that students will flock to a statistics
department housed in a medical school,

geographically separated from pro&gt;Y_mate
f1elds of study7 h is true that statist1Cs is
not uniquely hotued here or there
throughout the industry, but it is fa.lsc to
maintain that there is even one instance of a
mathematical statistics depanment housed
in medicine. and t.he move would be
completely without precedent.
• What on earth makes one trust that
Dean Naughton would be a loyal team
player with the needs of tbe core: campus'?
All the available evidence gainsays that,
including his recent summary refusal o
even entertain the not ion of a shared line
between FNSM and SMBS for Chair. At
the meeting it was pointed out that Dean
Naughton reports to the Provost nowadays.
That may be true o n an organization chart,
but jn all other respects it must be news to
Dean Naughton.
• What resources will be available, a year
or two down (he line, to meet the needs of
undergraduate students' statiJtics instruction
on the core campus? My guess is the

depleted ruources of the FNSM faculty,
complemented by extra effort elsewhei! in
the core campus. One of the truly curious
aspects of the proposal, as it stands, is that
there is nothing resembling a black-on-white
memorandum of understanding between the
core and SMBS to spell out in some detail ·
tbc: lona run commitments.
• FinAuy, it is worth ponderinc that
neither the Dean nor anyone else has ever
stated what the probkm "'with statistics" is.
The Dean proclaims up front tbat by
paning with the resourca
the statistics

or

department they pan with nothios, rully,
for these rcsourc:es could not be otherwise
encased anyway. Appan:oUy, as looa u it
is only statistics, it counu for nought.
With such a de&lt;:anal mentality to cope
with I understand the statistics depanman~
desin: to co elsewhere (anywben:!) - bl!l ,
what needs chanjpoa is not the loeation of
the statistics department: but the attitUde of
the Dean.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

T

be collapse of two bridges in the
California earthquake in October may be due 'to failure of
joints in the bridges, according
to Jan G. Buckle, deputy dirt;Ctor of the
National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research at UB.
During a briefing for Univeroity stall
on Tuesday, Buckle aaid that the collapse
of the highway ggo overpau in Oakland ,
known as the CypreSI Street overpass,
may have been caused by the failure of
joints at the base of the top level of the
two-tiered highway. A total of 42 people
were reponed to have died in the Cy press
Street collapse.
The second bridge to collapse, the
Oakland Bay Bridge, may have expenenccd failure of a joint, causi ng the top
dnving surface to fall down to the lower
driving surface.
.. Connections arc important... Buckle
satd .
In the Cypress Street overpass, joints,
called "Oexual" joints, are held together
by reinforcing' rods imbedded into concrete, but they are not strongly pinned to
the column below. Buckle said the joints
could have been pinned with .. confining"
steel jolnts Or have seismic isolation
joints ,ailed, making the ove'Pass
more a
to withstand eanhquakes.
Buck e showed slides of the Cypress
Street overpass, demonstrating that
many of the columnJ of the top level
were intact. but the joints at the base of
the columns have pulled away from the
column below, ex.po$ing reinforcing steel
rods that bad pulled out of the joints.
When the bottom joints pulled awa y
from the top of the lower level, the top
level fell on the lower level, like a table
that has its legs pulled out from under it.
Once the connections arc lost, "'the gravi·
tationalload takes over." Buckle said .
In some cases. joints on the overpass
were reinforeed with steel cables installed
several yean after it was completed .
These joints withstood the force of the
recent earthquake.
According to Buckle. some of the
issues that must be addressed to understand the collapse are:
• The two-level elevated structure
itself.
• The, fact that the bridge was
designed in I 951 and completed by I 957.
before eahhquake-re.sistant codes we re
put into effect.
• The steel girder structure that
undergird s driving surfaces of the
highway.
• The nexual joints that wen: not
reinforeed.
• The loose "bay mud " soil that is
under the part of the bridge that failed,
but not under a section of the highway
that withstood the earthquake.

n the Bay Bridge, the joint that
failed wu located on the lower
level, on the eastern end of an abutment
that supported .two adjoining spans. All
40 of the bolts holding the joint together
snapped. "Tbe bold-&lt;lown bolts in the
eastern joint failed," Buclde said.
The failure of this joint pulled two
spans of thl: bridae apart, causi113 the top

above the abutment.
Buclcle recommeuded that bridges in
California be reinforced or retrofitted to
witbataod sbalcing from earthquakes. He
showed a slide of a bridge built with
seismic isolation that withstood the 7.I
magnitude tremor that struck California. Seismic isolation involves wing flex·
ible joints that are designed to withstand
seismic forces with the use of frictionplates that move during earthquakes.
Overall, an estimated 1,500 bridges
were damaged during the quake. Of that
total, 73 suffered relatively minor darnage, 10 required temporary supports, I 0
were closed, and three collapsed , according to Buclde. Other bridges similar to
the Cypress Street overpass were damaged in the earthquake.
Most of the damage occurred to
bridges constructed prior to 1973. when
earthquake resistance codes wert put
into effect.
George Lee, dean of the School of
Engineering and Applied Sciences and
acting director of NCEER, said that

ENROLLMENT . . . . . . . . . .a.....

Buckle and other panel membero at
Tuesday's review session were part of a
reconnaissantt team sent under the
sponsorohip . of the National Science
Foundation, the National Academ)' of
Sciences and other groups.
Paul Friberg, resean:b stall associote
from Lamont-Doherty Geological
Observatory of Columbia Univeroity.
said that the earthqualce may have been
amplified up to eight times ip the Oakland Bay area by the loose "bay mud,"
explaining why the damage was so severe
in the area, even though the epicenter of
the earthquake was about60 miles away.
Harry E. Stewart, assistant professor
from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at ComeU University, said that at least 100 pipeline repairs
were performed in the marina area of
Oakland. Several water hydrants were
broken in the earthquake, resulting in
low water pressure, making it difficult to
ftght fires.
Ahmet E. Aktan, associate professor
of civil engioeering at the Univeroity of
Cincinnati, showed damage to large steelframed masonry buildings in downtown
Oalcland. Buildings that were constructed in' the 1950s or earlier generally
suffered the most under earthquake conditions, but buildings built in the 1960s
or later generally fared- better.
According to Alctan, the Pacific Telesis building is an example of an older
building that was seriously damaged in
the earthquake. Although no larger
buildings collapsed in downtown Oakland duri113 the quake, many were structurally damaged aod many windows
were shattered, requiring' exten~ive
repairo.

Durl&gt;in expects UB's enrollment to be
"'relatively stable .. over the next few
yean. Meanwhile, the pool is changing.
• A greater proportion of the pool will be
made up of African Anlepc:&amp;Ja, Native
Americans, aod Hispanic Americans. In
New York State, it is realistically
projected that the number of bigb achool
araduatea will have declined by 17.6
percent between 1988 aod 1994. This is
due to lower birthrates and other
demographic trends in the state, said
Durlcin.
.. If our intent is to remain stable, we
have to look at ~ make-up of that
declining pool. Youll find that there will
be an increasingly larger proportion of
that pool that is made of what we now
refer to as underrepresented minority
st udents. It behooves us to take a bard
look at what activities we have to attract

T

t-or the past several years. much to
the surpnse of most on ca~qp us . there
ha.\ been a nsang tide of oven racism
and scx1sm This has been unexpected
fo r several reasons. For o ne thmg.
student opm10 n as measured by pubhc
o pm10n po lls remams tolerant on
matters of race rela tions and liberaJ on
1 ss ue~ relating to life-styles. It has been
ass umed that the liberal legacy of the
'60s remains a force on campus. In
generaJ, well educated peo ple express
more toleranl opinions than people
wich lowe r educationaJ levels. For these
reaso ns. the campuses might ~
expected to ha ve good race relations.
Yet, there IS much evidence to the
co ntrary. Incidents of prejudice against
racial minorities - mainly AfroAmericans but to so me extent AsiaAmericans as well - have become
widespread . The National Institute
Against Prejudice and Violence
recorded hund~ s of incidents. so me
.of which have exploded into major
campus crises. In the past several years.
racial incidents have caused major
campus demonstrations. sometimes
leading to vio lence and arrests. at such
universities as Stanford. Michigan. and
Massachusetu. to name but a few . The
specific causes are varied but the
underlying factor is racial bia.s. A
resurgence of anti-Semitism 5eems to be:
the latest expression of prejudice.
Twenty percent of Jewish college
st uden.ts reported having been insulted
or demeaned in tbe past year. In
October, anti-Semitic insults yelled at
Jewish students at the U nivenity of
Illinois resulted in several arrests and
two Jewish students at Brooklyn
College were beaten badly enough to

campuses, demanded and often
obtained separate dormitory and other
facilities, further bifurcating the races.
The idealism that wa.s engendered by
tbe student movements of the 'Ws
stressed, amon1 other things. a concern
for good race and ethnic relations. Th&lt;
emergence of the feminist movement
brought consciousness about sexism to
campus and improved gender relations.
Now, the impact of both of these social
movements has declined and it seems
that old habits have reasserted
themselves.

"Academic institutions
should be places where
all ideas can be
expressed and where
there is a sense of
•
civility in social as
well as intellectual
relations."

n general. colleges and universities
have not been sensitive to the
deteriorating situation. As in loco
parmlis was abandoned in the 'Ws.
univenitics no longer took much .
interest in the extracurricular activities
or social attitudes of students. Now.
academic institutions have not taken an
active role in efforts to improve race
and ethnic relations on campus. ll
seems that the main institutional
response to expressions of prejudice bas
been to ban the expression ratber thm
to seek the cau.ses and ameliorate the
sit uation. A number of institutions
have put into place new regulations
limiting the expression of prejudicial
sentiments. The University of
California System. in the most
prominent move in this direction. has
imPlemented new rules which are aimed
at banning the expression of prejudice.

require hospitaJization in another
incident of anti-Semitism. So far this
academic ¥e&amp;r, large scale anti-black
incidenu seem to be down , although
minor problems continue.
t th&lt; State Uni\oersity of New York
at Buffalo, a campus so far spared
major incidenu and with good
interracial and interethnic relations,
there is nonetheless an undercurrent of
intolerance. IUcist and sexist graffiti
have dramatically incn:a.sed and have
moved from the rest roonil to the walls
- and sometimes even the floon - of
dorms and academic buildings. Not
long ago, women and gay students held

'
to protest what they fell was
tnstitutional lack of concern about
vtolence against women and gays as
well as increasingly ope n expressions of
prejudice.
The causes for the current situat ion
are complex and go far beyond the
campus. The legacy of the Reagan era
1s no doubt a key factor - the rise of
the .. me--generation"' on campus and an
atmosphere of unconcern about social
inequalities in the broader society.
Enforcement of anti-bias regulations
was weakened . GovernmentaJ ignoring
of social problems to;ickled down to th&lt;
campuses. At tbe sam&lt; tim&lt;, higher
education became more competitive.
Admissions to prestigious colleges
tightened 1111d students felt more
pressure to do well in vocationally
oriented fields that would lead to a
good job in a tough economy.
StudenU began to resent what man y
saw to be special advantages given to
minority students in achnissioru and in
programs. Such resentment, seldom
expressed openly, ha.s come out in
rcccpt interview studies of
undergraduate students. At the same
time. Afro-American students. never
quite at home on predominantly white

'I

Other universities have put Si milar
policies into place. At Stanford
University, in the aftermath of la.st
year's racially-motivated unrest, the
campus administration tried to expand
disciplinary codes to include the
expression of bia.s that would harm
otben. Many on campus argued that
this wa.s an infringement of th&lt; freedom
of expression. Critics have pointed out
that univenities. of alJ institutions. must
protect the right to free expression even
when such expression may be
unpleasant to bear. Rather, effo rts
should be mad&lt; to provide both the
educational experiences and the
facilities to improve racial, ethni.c and
gender relations on campus. Simply
banning the expression of prejudice will
not solve the problem.
Academic institutions should be
places wbere all idea.s can be expiJCSSed
and where tbere is a sense of civility in
social a.s well a.s inteUectual relations.
Perhaps such sentiments are artifaeu of
an era when the .. ivory tower ... meant
5omething positive in American society.
Let's hope not. For if we have 10!1
civility in aca 1eme. the entire society

has much to worry abouL It is time to
n:&lt;:ogniz.e the problem and becin to
deal constructively with iL Civility in
h1gher education is not only a virtue. it
lies at the heart of what the university
is about.

Hospital. Servia:s _ , held T~ay in

Associate Professor of Economics
Thomas Roman s called Manning
" irreplaceable. Then: i.s no quation
about it. • He noted that Manning's
appointment to the choir in 1987 was the
result of an international search.
Manning came to UB with an
impn:asive background and an international reputation, Romans explained.
He bad just 1pent a year as the din:ctor
of the Reserve Bank of New Zealaad, the
equivalent of the U.S. Federal RcaerVe
Board. Manning was also a profeuor of
economics at the University of C4nterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
"He did an excelleot job reotructuriog
the department, settling it down, doing
some excellent recruiting, and initiating
the annual Economic lbeory Conference
with Cornell and Roc:heater. And he was
successful at tbi.s because he was so weUkeyed, because of hi.s great international
reputation, .. said Roman.
Manning's close friend and fellow New
Zealander, Peter Morgan, deocribcd
other talent1, callina his Ph. D ,
supervisor an .. 'economist's economist. •
one who deeply impressed others with
his skill and one who cared very much
about the teaching aspects of his
profession.
"Instead of n:aarding students as
necessary evils, be cared for and about
them as people,· said Morgan. "He was
alwayo working to help them obtain their
potential. He was quite a remarkable
man. .
Associate Professor of Economics
MitcbeU Harwitt echoed theoe sentimenu, adding that Mannina was "largeminded and lar~ed . He turned a
department in great intellectual and
organizational difficulty around in the

· Credit cards and Christmas:
an unholy alliance for some

!Books
• NEW AND IMPORT ANT

By JESS.ICA GREENMAN
Repo&lt;ter Staff

pplying for a credit card?
Don' nub into it, because
there are many pitfalls. Many
people over1pend and then
face financial difficulty, says John Y.
Pax, executive director of Consumer
Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo,
Inc., who led a recent workshop here on
the topic . It 's especially easy to
ovcBpend at the holiday season.
College students o r new users
so metimes have trouble controlling the

A

amount of money they spend each

month. Most of these problems occur,
says Pa x, when the user docs not make a
budget to keep track of has or her
mcome.
Overspending can stem frorri ignorance
or negligence, says Pax. Negligent
&gt;pender1 know they don' have the
money for all tho se credit card
purchases, but use the card indi.scrim·
matcly to buy things they cannot afford.
Others arc si mply not aware of the
danger of charging i1ems that go beyond
the budget limit. PBJ&lt; says.
Pax hu some advice for fi~t-time
credit card users:
• Do not use the credit card as a
mo ne y substitute - the cred1t card is not
ano ther ~o ur&lt;:c o f 1ncome C redit
\ hould only he used when there 1s mcomc
available to suppon the purchases made .
• The user should know h1 s or her
~pcndmg lamJt Setting up a budget helps
dcte rmmc how much money 1s available
10 spend each month.
• The credit card should be treated as
a J&lt;klay card , Pax recommends. If the
user chaiges with the knowledge that ht:
wi ll be pay1ng the bill within JO days, he
will be more aware of the mo ney he is
spe nding.
Many credit crises can be: avoided by
following these simple rules, Pllll points
out. However. if a problem does arise,
help is available. Consumer Credit
Counseling Services (854-17 10) can assist
credit card user1 who have problenu
with over1pending. Experts will explain
how to create a budget. They can also
teac h ways of dealing effectively with
creditors. In severe situations, Credit
Co unseling Services wiU try to negotiate
smaller payments to crediton~. This

method, called pro-rating, has helped
many people out of a sticky situation by
readjusting the payment schedule.

B

y being there to assist with credit
troubles, Credit Counseling Services
bas given many students another chance
at a good credit rating.
"Starting a career with a bad credit
rat ing is perhaps the wor1t thing a
student can do ," says !'OJ&lt;. "By using
pro-rating and giving financial advice.
we create a fresh start for studenu who
have gotten themselves into financial
trouble. We 're here to help."
Can a student with no previous credit
experience obtain a credit card?
Absolutely, says Tom Cran&lt;Jall, '(ice
president in consumer lending ill
· Go ldome Bank. A student may apply
wi th his parents if he has no steady
income. By co-sisning with parents, his
credit rating is then trBJUferred to both
the parents' and the student's account.
oldome also offen~ services for
students who have credit problenu.
"When a problem ariJcs, we often sit
down with a student or help h.im or her
rcb ud get," says Crandall. For further
assistance, he refers people to the
Consumer Credi t Counseling Service.
Pat McCarron, assistant vice president
of product management at Marine
Midland Bank, specializes in credit card
management. He says that Marine is
Interested in college students applying
for credit because they are .. good
customers ... Marine has a student-parent
Mastercard or VISA program for &amp;ose
who have not established a credit rating.
It " helps a student establish credit in his
own name," McCarron says.
McCarron pointed out that creditors
need to be told if a student is having a
proplem with a credit payment .. "Talk to
the bank - teU them the problenu
you're having," be says. If no payment
plans are made, the bank will ass ume the
student refuses to pay. This can result in
permanent damage to a credit rating.
A credit card can be convenient, but
before applying for a credit line, students
should make sure to have enough funds to
meet the payments. According to Crandall , "Look for the long-term consequences. Planning and budgeting arc the
best ways to keep your10lf safe."

'openness'·
of campus
By JEFFERY l . JACKSON

''T

Reporter Stalt

·

he relationship between
students and faculty
reminds me of the
· nostalgia of Berkeley in
the 1960s," said Peter Ekeh, a Woodrow
Wilson fellow and a new faculty member
at the University.
Ekeh was recruited as part of the University's commitment to expandina the
number of minority faculty appointed on
campus. He was recently cited by President Steven B. Sample in hi&gt; Annual
Report to the Council (Oct. 19) and hu
been given a three-year appointment to
the rank of fuil professor in the African
AmAel nh·can hSthuddicsd Dephartment.
.
t aug e t not ave strong VJCWS
about coming to Buffalo. Ekeh was nonetheless impressed after he vilited UB. He
especially admires the openness of the
cam pus. "I noticed that the collegial
atmosphere was strong and this is quite
remarl&gt;!'ble," Ekeh added. He noted,
too, .lll"at the friendly atmospbere makes
the University a good place to do
research and to teach.
Ekeh draws a parallel between U B
today and the collegiality of Berkeley in
the 1960's. "There i.s a lot of commitment
by students here . They are not
indifferen t; they are more sensitive to
societal problems here than elsewhere,...
Ekeh said.
Ekeh received his bachelor of science
degree in economks from the University
of lba"dan in his native Nigeria. He then
traveled to the United States, receiving a
master's in sociology from Stanford and
a Ph .D. from the University of Califor·
nia at Berkeley.
In addition to being a Woodrow Wil so n fellow, Ekch was a Cadbury visiting
fe llow at the University of Birmingham .
England, in 1978 and a visiting research
fe!low at the Institute of Development
Studies. University of Sussex in England
in 1986 . He also held a Rockefeller
Foundation felloW!Ibip from 1985to 1986.

E

keh went into academic research
and teaching "by accident," he says.

''There is a lot of
commitment by
students here.
They are not
indifferent; they are
more sensitive to
societal problems
here."
-PETER EKEH

In Nigeria, "If you did well academicall y,
yo u wer e automatically given a
sc holarship." Ek.eh said . There .. it was
quite prestigious to do graduate work.
given the difficult y of doing an
undergraduate degree in Nigeria ...
University life in Nigeria is modelled
on the British syste m. Ekeh characterized
the University of lbadan as "tough, but
with very high standards." He notes that
he has the advantage of having an
English/ European style of undergraduate
education combi ned with an American

graduate education.
Although he says comparisons a.re
difficult to make, Ekeh feels that the
American 5ystem of higher education
.. has adapted better to a changing world.
American students are'betCer trained to
adapt to different circumstances." In
addition. the American system, accord ·
ing to Ekch, is more individualistic.
...There are so many universities of
different types, traditions, and concerns
here that it is dif'ficult to compare them
to sc hoo ls abroad ."
Ek.eh's teaching interests are foc used
1n the a.rea of political sociology. At the
University, he teaches seve ral undergrad ·
uate co urses in the department of
African American Studies . Ekeh sa1d
also that he may teach graduate level
co urses if a proposed joi nt graduate
degree program between the departmen~ s
of African American and American
Studies is ratified in the future .
There is mterest in Africa at the
Universit y. However. Ek.eh said .. there
has been an overal l dro p in the number
of peopLe interested in Africa as a field of
study." One reason he cited was the:
decline in federal government resources
for research projects focusing on Africa.

Peter Ekeh's leaching interests are
locused in the area o1 po1iticaJ sociology.
The: situation could be reversed given
that a new generation of black American
students is becoming academically in·
valved in African studies, Ekeh noted .
"There is still a substantial American
presence in studying Africa . The
sit uation has changed in terms of who is
involved, .. he staled .

E

keh 1s "disappointed that there are
so few white atudentJ ·enrolled in
courses in African American studies.
However, he said , .. I expect the situation
to change over time: with different counc
offerings." Interest in Africa should be
universal and not confined to one partic ular student or faculty community,
Heh said .
Curre ntl y, Ekeh is doing research on
the weaknesses of the African r;tate with
partic ular attention to the presence of
kinsh1p structures, that is the way famil y
an d cu lture intera c t. He is als o
co mparing the nation s of black Africa
with pre-feudal Europe, with special
emphasis on Celtic culture in England
and Ireland in terms of kiitship
structures.

�UB's 'healthy' wheelchairs

are the goal of researchers at the University.
Incorporating a patented system they
devised that enabled a yo ung paraplegic

between Mendel and his accountant,

confmed to a wheelchair after her legs
wer~ paralyzed at age 3.
With hopes that she someday wiU walk
again, her parents wanted to maintain
the integrity of the girl's leg muscles.

While wheelchair
users may derive
such benefits from
costly devices, usually
limited to hospitals,
the system proposed by
UB researchers would
provide them in the

E-mail technology changing the art of communication
By JEFFERY L:. .!ACKSON
Flepo&lt;ter Staff

E

-mail is chaogiog the way
organizations communicate ,
internally as well as with each
other.
Electronic mail, or E-mail for short,
ofTen tremendow opportunities for
scholan, researchers, aod administrators
to communicate among themselves
throu&amp;hout the world.
According to James Gerland, manager
of UB'a user S!!J&gt;port services, uaing Email "ii just u easy as writing a letter."
This aervicc allows two or more people
to cuily communicate with each other
by lettina them compose, aeod, aod
receive electronic messages or documents
at their computer stations.
One of the more inte~ting featurca of
E-mail ;, that the aender aod ~picot
need not be available at the same time
wbcD oae PartY waoll to commuoicatc.Unlib"tbe telephone, messages do oot go
IIIWII1ICted but ioatead arc placed in the
uaer'l mailbox until be or she decides to

read them.
Another advant&amp;Je, accordins to
GeriaDd, iJ spcccl. E-mail iJ futer than

conventional mail in transmitting inter·
office memoranda, letters to outside
organizations. and international correspondence.
Gerland pointed out othe r features
that make E-mail efficient:
• The service red uccs the cost of
communication. E-mail is free to faculty,
staff, aod students. The cost of sending
an E-mail message is significantly less
than wiog the pool office.
• E-mail helps to centralize and unify
business and administrative operations
because it brings people closer together
even when they arc separated by
geography.
• It enbaoces communication between
all. levels of a department or office,
speeding up the decision-making
proceu. E-mail alSo allows many
individuals to participate quickly wheo
working oo a project or assignment.
• The aervice assists io ""A\!bR~on,
00 multiple-author d~ou, wbich is
especially useful for resean:hen. For
example, Gerlaod poin~ out that one
author may write the o'rijuw draft of a
document aod ibcn aend it to another ·
author who reviaea it. The process
continue• · until the document is
·complete.
\....

• E-mfil is accessible. Messages can
be read from any computer terminal
either on campus or through dial-ins at
home or on the road.

T

he accessibility of E-mail raises
some questions about privac y .
"There is no guaranteed privacy," says
Gerlaod, because all messag&lt;J trnel as
normal files. Most people do not have
access to messages scot or received.
However, Gerland notes that some
individuals have privileges that allow
them to read E-mi.il messages. " Anyone
in charge of a computer site or the
computing center staff can read mail.
However, staff nonnaUy would do this
only wheo they arc trying to track down
a mail delivery problem," Gerlaod said.

Anyone On CBIJIPW can get acccsa to
use E-mail. Gerl&amp;q&lt;l points out that all
yoll oecd'to do is set up an a.:count with
the UniNers1ty's Computins Center.
·Aceouilll arc based oo your Social
Security number. Once xou have an
a.:count, you will be given a uaer name
aod a password. "Your password muat
be lr.eptsccret because non-users can do a
lot of damaae," aays Gerlaod.
•Two networks arc available at the

University where E-mail messages can be
used. The BITNET nctworiC ;, used
primarily by educational, academic, aod
research ins~tutiona, according to
Gerlaod, wh1le loteroel is used
principally by government, researi:b. aod
commercial institutions. E-mail can be
used by persons communicating on the
same oetworlr. or from two different
networks. "The user doesn' need- to
know the difference bet ween the
networks," says Gerland, because the
messages are automatically proc:e:ssed )&gt;1
the computer system.

If you arc interested in wins E-mail,
the University .computing center offers
monthly. worbhopo on system applicatiooa. Tbc compoting center ltaff aod
thooe penooa auocia~ with user
services also offer support aod usiJtance
for persona wantina to get on the E-mail
oetworlr..
The number of networks, as weU as
wen, arc proliferatizla. "There arc ten
million wen that you can reach worldwide throUJh !be E-mail.. says Gerlud:Tbia tccb.DoloiY offen t.RmeDdoUJ

sa1d . ..There are a number of

have been brought to Europe
by gypSies. Some of the
earliest printing was of

the most significant

So what exactl y as the

"There are 78 cards in a

or Maji, which have
emblematic or symbolic
fiaures on them, and lour

suits of lesser arcana for a
total of 78." Each card has a
plctoriaJ representation
printed on it, often involving
a complex symbolism related
to tbe meaning of the card .
Some of the cards in the
greater arcana include the
Fool, the Hanged Man,
Death. and the Hierophant.
The suits of the lesser
arcana are usually represented
as batons, cups, swords. and
money, or some pictorial
equivalent of these ideas.

Italy, called tarocchi," Lopez
pointed out. The game uses
}2 cards from the standard
deck of playing cards (eight

greater arcana of the Tarot
deck.

E

Others, Lopez said. believe
that the Tarot represenl5 tbe
keys to an ancient body of

this idea, but the Tarot

Since the Tarot lint
appeared in Europe in the
15th century, interpretations
of the pictorial

representations on the cards
have been many and varied.

ach of the cards can
be interpreted as
having a designated

or future. And altbouah the
UJe of the Tarot as a
divination tool has e&gt;&lt;isted
until the present day, its

Tarot images on

"The Visconti deck is a
good example of what you
cao learn from the drawinp
on a Tarot deck.~ Lopez said .
*Look at the style and tbe
costumes."
The Tarot. as Lopez
explained, has been
incorporated into numerous
works of an and literature. A
1ignificant example is the use
of the symbolism of the Tarot
cards in T .S. Eliot's -the
Waste Land. " Sylvia Plath,

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

State University of New York

Milestone for
'pioneer' field
alk into the
American
Studies
Department
and you'll
find a dizzying blend of
interests and investigations.
Some scholars are
exploring the exotic world
of ethnomusicology. Others
delve into the issues facing
Native Ameriqms, or study
the role of alternative media
in American society. The
list seems endless.
Tomorrow nilbt. American Studies,
which seeki an undentandins of American life in tbe full context of the modem
world, will celebrate the r=nt approval
of its Ph.D. prosram with a party in the
International Institute, Buffalo.
The joy foUows a struglc of more
than· 20 years and a sruelins administrative process u approval neared. The long
,._ait bad its frustrations, but is also
ironic, says Chair Michael Frisch.
"We're getting it approved at just the
right moment, because the idea of weaving together race, gender, ethoicity, and
class - seeing them as part of a whole
approach - is bccomins the dominant
di.rcc:t.ion" of the field .
Indeed, this wu the theme of last
year's meeting of the American Studies .
Association in Miami, says Frisch.
In many schools, Frisch explains,
American Studies "did not move very far
beyond the notion that 'history plus
literature equals culture,' and offered little more than an umbreUa of coursea and
approaches within these diSciplines."
h_ell the founders o( American
Studies established a prnsram here
in 1968 (it was later made a department),
they decided tha.t .it was pointless ton-

W

prod'!"" the pen~ve on American
culture ·a filablc tbr011sb the History
and EnaJish Departmenu. so·tbcy opted
for an alternative.
Says Frisch: "Our mandate was to
develop a unique Ph.D.-level program,
placing American culture and civilization in a critical world perspective."
During the 1970s, American Studies
had to postpone development of the
Ph.D. "for budgetary aod political rea,.
sons." But the department tunied the
disappointmerit into creative improvisation. During this time, the Women's
Studies component became one of the
nation's earliest.
A Native American Studies prosram
grew out of the concerns of some that
their traditional culture was being threatened . And a group of scholars developed the Pucno Rican Studies component, the ftrst such program in the
U.S. and Pueno Rico to offer a sraduate
desree.
Today, there is also a component pro-

'Tomorrow night,
American Studies
will celebrate
the recent approval
of its Ph.D. program."

here are now about 20 Ph.D. students who were admitted in anticipation of the Ph.D. approval. "We are
looking for very well-&lt;lirccted, wellmotivated students with independent
ideas," says Frisch. In addition to the
normal Ph.D. requirements, Ph.D . can·
didates in American Studies must do
fieldwork in a ,second culture "outside of
mainline American culture. " Non Western fieldwork is especially encour·
aged. At tbe doctoral level, students
must integrate knowledge from all the
component areas into their Ph.D. work.
Doctoral students are well-served by
the divergent interests of the faculty, says
Frisch. Though trained in' traditional
disciplines such as history,literature, and
anthropology, "we recognize the insufficie ncy of our several disciplines to deal
effectively with many urgent questions
about our lives in common, at home and
abroad. We are joined by the questions
we ask rather than by the tools of a particuJar discipline."
As t.heir pioneering stance becomes theprevailing direction of the field, Ameri-

can Studies' faculty have gained national
standing for their scholarship and creative forays, says Frisch. This, too, helps
attract the best and most promising
students.
Frisch has served o n the executive
board of the American StudieS Associa·
tion. Hester Eisenstein, a feminist theorist who worked as a civil servant in Australia, is the author of two widely used
texts in women 's studies, and is currently
writing a book on bureaucracy and

For 21 years now, the erophasis at UB
has been on "taking things that are lUllally at the margins and putting them at
the center," thereby avo!ding a fragmentary approach, says Frisch.
Now comes the opportl!.nity to go
further as the department helps to define
this still-emerging field.
"For yearo, we bad a proposal, a set of
goals. Now we'tt at the exciting point of
translating the ideal ~nto reality."

Tearing down
The Wall
East German graduate student
says "there's no going back"
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Repor1er Sraff

T

hey all have personal stones

about the Berlin Wall hundreds of thousands of East
Germans who witnessed the
tearing d own of the wall and the opening
of their bo rder to West Germany. Here
at the University, Ralf Possekcl , a grad uate srudent in the H istory Departme nt
and an East Ge rm an exchange student ,
v1cws th e events in Berlin as bot h "excitmg and very significa nt ."
''It was e m oti onall y uplifting to see the
wa ll co ming down . More importantly.
th1s eve nt was significant for the East
Ge rm a n refo rm movement because ir
was achieved through non-violen~ by a
mass movement, .. Possckel said .
For Possekel. change in Eas t Ge rm any
also has an impact on a more perso nal
level. '"These changes are im portant for
me beca use now I ca n visi t all of Berlin ...
he said . William Allen, professor and
chair of the History Department, noted
t ha t the East Ge rm an graduate st ud en ts
"couldn't take the changes in. There was
a tremendous se nse of shock. numbness.
a nd disbelief ...
Reforms will also lead to liberalizing
student exchange progra ms between
East Germany and other countries.
" Prio r to these reforms. mos t stud ents
were forbidden to study in the West."'
Possek.el added. In addition. the re is now
greater mutual interest in financing
exchanges, given the events of the recent
past. However, Possckel noted that it
will "be very difficult for the Eas t Ger·
man gove rnment to fund Western
exc hange stud ents because of the lack of
hard curre ncy ... Nonetheless, Possekcl is
optimistic . .. There will be great chances
for exchanges for short 'periods of time."
From" the University's perspective.
there is also an opportunity for more
exchanges behind the Iron Curtain.
Allen noted that an exchange program
with the University of Leipzig is being
investigated . '"The impulse is there and
the hunger for knowledge on both sides
of the Iron C urt ain is the re," said Allen.
Posse kel does not envision a C hinesestyle crackdown on the. democracy
move ment in East Germany ... Events
have moved too far - there will be no
turning back ." However, he said that the
success of the changes swee'p ing East
Germany will depe nd on the communist

party reformi ng itself.
Possekcl noted that
"a great number of
ordinary pany members wanted reform ...
Many people, includ·
ing Possekel's friends.
wo rked on reform
projects searching
for new theories of
soci alism for East
Ge rmany. " Many of
us want a modernized form of social. ism for Germany .
We will now have the
cha nce to make these
1deas popular through
the communist party
co nference."'

ing of the wall repre· right.
se nts a guarantee to
the East Germi'n people. "If people are
dissatisfied, they can vote with their
feet." Because their own people did not
trust them. the East German regime !bad
no choice but to open tbe border to the
West to make itself credible. added
Allen.

T

o .understand the remarkable
changes that have take n place in
East Germany, Allen said that we need to
remember that : East Germany was one
of the most rigid and stultifying of the
co mmunist dictato rships."' In addition,
because of their location. East Germans
had full access to West German televiSIO n and could see, on a daily basis.
images of material consumption in the
West. ..The favorite television program
in East Germany is 'Dallas·,• Allen said .
Access to the media provides a constant
co mparison between Soviet-style sociatism and Western capi talism for the people of East Germany. according to Allen .
Will the two Gennanies be united?
Both Allen and Possekel expn:ssed conce rn regarding .. the German question ...
"The German people do not have the
same kind of structure or chauvinism
that they had under Bismarck and
. Hitler," noted Allen. "For me. German
unification is an unhappy idea. If both

sides solve their problems through
' border changes, this will be a revival of
poo r German policy," Possekcl said .
.. The German adva ntage is its di versi ty
a nd this should be preserved in central
Europe."
If unification does occur, ·•it will be
done very ca utiously and over a long
period of time," according to Allen. He
added that the Germans are aware of th e
co mplexities of th e sit ua ti on and will
exercise restraint.
The newfound freedom in East Germany, exhilarating as it is. will not spur
Possekel to leave his count ry. When he
completes his studi es, he says he will "go
back to East Germany to help reform the
communist pa rty and other organizations." Possekeladded that if t he reforms
fail and the co untry becomes gripped by
a deep. long crisis and a failing economy.

many people ·will leave.
Allen echoed .a similar theme. "If
reforms do not come, the country will
lose its population." He noted that there
already exists a critical shonage of medical personnel, people employed in nigh·
technology field s, and bus drivers in East
Germany. If more people leave, the
economy of East Germany will be
plunged further into chaos. according to
Allen.
For Allen, the unprecedented events in
Berlin suggest th at .. there is no permanence in history." The images of Germans
se parated by a wall for 28 years is "an
ex perience t hat will live in peoples ·
minds." Some of the personal stories
have already been told and many more
will be told as people around the world
celebrate another nllll in the coffin of the

Search for water leak continues at UB nuclear reactor
By DAVID HIMMELGREEN
Reperter StaH
he search goes on to locate and
repair a water let!k in the Uni·
v.:rsity at Buf)alo nuclear reactor, located near Rotary Road
on the South Campus.
Although the leak is small, the reactor
has been shut down since Nov. S when
staff from the nuclear facility noticed
that the lev.:l or water in the ~foot-deep
reactor tank wu three inches lower than
normal.
As of lut week, the react'!r tank was
losin&amp; about two pllons of water per
hour. According to an article· in The
Spectrum, all of the lcalta&amp;c bu been collected in another holdina taol&lt; in the
basement of the nuclear facility.

T

The radioactivity of the water is only
70 percent of the lev.:l which can legally
be released into the public sewer system.
While stringent rbeasu= have been put
into place to contain the leakage within
the facility, the very low level of radioac·
tivity poses little risk , according to U ni·
versity official's.
OITICials from the University and
experts in nuclear science have made it
clear that ·the leak poses no danger to
public health nor to the integrity of the
&lt;1Uclear system itself.
Nonethcleas, the reactor has temporarily been shut down as a precaution to
ens we •an additional margin of safety,"
said Louis Henry, general manager fo.r
the UB reactor.
Aaenciea such u the Nuclear RegUlatory Commission (NRq and the New

York State Health Department have also
been notified about the si tu ation.

I

n addition, NRC officials, including
Neil Perry, senior resident inspector of
the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in
Wayne County, New York were in Buffalo last week to evaluate the condition
of the UB reactor. Perry also concurttd
with the determination that the leAk was
neither a health or safety risk to tbe
public.
· Locating the ·leak ·is a difficult and
arduous task in the maze of pipes that
make up the reaCtor. In fact, when the
news ftnt broke, photographers were not
permitted entrance into tbe taol&lt; area
because the sounds of moving feet, flash
units, and camera shutters could drown
out the faint sound of escaping water.

L

As to th e progress of the effort to.
repair the reactor. Henry said : .. We are
still investigating the situation and it's
too early to sayjust when the facilit y will
be in operation again."
The UB reactor was opened in 1961
and is the only research nuclear reactor
in Western New York. · The facility is
managed by Buffalo Materials Research
Inc., a private company. The University
owns and holds licenses for the facility.
The reactor operates on a low-grad~
six percent enriched fuel which IS contained in channels of zirconium tubes. It
produces short-lived radioisotopes for
medical , uni•ersity, and industry
research. For example, geologic:al and
archacolosjcal samples arc studied in the
reactor to determine their elemental

by the General Assembl y of
the U ndcrgraduate College at
its Nov. 9 meeting, and will now be
transmitted to the greater University
community for discussion. The proposal
seeks to reform UB's current general
e.Q ucatio n guidel ines, ad ding coherence
and depth to stud ies o utside a stud ent 's
major by creating a core, urriculu m and
revising distribution requirements.
Vice Pro vos t for U nderg radu ate

the vote is preliminary to official
sanction by thc. Faculty Senate. " It's just
one part of a process that began with the

said . ··Now we're looki ng ror feedback

Barbara Bo no. associate proressor or
English a nd the chair of the curriculum
co mmittee, sought to counter impressions
that the new proposal would apply to all
undergraduates uniformly. She pointed
out that only those in the Arts and
Sciences B.A. and B.S . programs would
be affected (approximately }400 graduating seniors in 1988-89). For students in
the pn:-professionll programs, including
students in Fine Arts and Music, the
existing general education framework
will continue to apply owing to the
higher' credit requiremenu for these
majors.
The Undclgraduatc College hopes to
implement the new, general education
initiatives as early as Fall 1991.
Following is the proposal in very broad
outline:
• Writing and language skills, which
add an intermediate· level second
language proficienc y t o the c urrent
requirement.
• The core curriculum, consisting of

Pluralism. a science and mathematics
sequence . a nd a senior integrative

EDITOR:
Th ree yea rs ago, the:
Und ergraduate College w as
given a mandate to desagn an
•mproved generaJ educauon program for
-undergraduate students at UB. The goal
was to design a gencraJ ed ucat io n program
that would provide more coherence. depth
or study. and integration of knowledge than
the current program. During these three
years, a 20-member Curriculum Commiuec
of the College. with the help or several
subeomminees. has designed 8 variety or
courses and programs, including a freshman
~eminar program, a eou.rsc in World
Civilization, a course in American
Pluralism, a proposed sequence of courses
ln science and mathematics for studenu not
majoring in the scienca, and a propo~
senior integrative coune experience.
l.ut Thunday, the Gcner~ AJ!cmbly of
the Undergrlduate College approved in
principle, and is forwanlin&amp; to the
Univenity community for review, discussion
and comment. a proposal for a revised
general education proaram tbat would be
applicable initiaUy .to all BA and BS
.
studenu majoring in academic programs an

major requirements.

T

he General Assem bl y endorsed this
proposal with near unanimou s
approval. with Thomas Barry o(Ciassics
casting the lone vote of dissent. Barry felt
that the American Pluralism course was
"dcconstructing itselr and should not be
included in the core curriculum, thus
giving the illusion tha\ the course was
already a stable entity, in his view.
Other members of the assembly took
iss ue with such a deocription. Jobn
Meacham of Psychology and Willi&amp;JD
Fisc her of English claimed Barry"s
rem arks were based on hearsay and
attributed any divergences rrom the
original intention of the course to a
natural process of development inherent
in any piJot.
Several very imp o rtant que stio ns
remained, however, Howard Foster of
Management played the critic, urging his
colleagues not to be clumsy in their
presentation of the proposal to the
Uni versity, and to prepare forthe real or
anticipated objections that might arise.
"Some aspects have elaborate prospectuses, while others are rather vague."'
Aside from the obv~ous questions
concerning the availability and allocation
of resources, the curriculum committee is
still attempting to figure double majors,
transfer students, and those who change
their field of study into the proposed
scheme.
Those mo s t familiar with the
curriculum proposal, three years in tbe
malting. acknowledged these issues are
as yet unresolved. But they also insisted
there was little to gain from temporiz.inz.
Fred Flcron of Potitical Science, Thorpe,
and Bono all noted that the proposal
allows for refinements, refinements best
made in a dialogue wlth the responsible
members of the University community.
Their arguments carried the proposal,
which is scheduled to be debated again
by the General Assembl y next spring
befo re being sent to the Facult y
Senate.

reflected on the history of these
disciplines at UB and the role
they might play in the future. 1
noted that during the last
seventy-five yean the universe of
knowledge hi.s expanded at an
ever increasing ra.t e. This rapid
increuc in knowledge has led to
an incre.Uc in specialization
within the arts and sciences, and
to the creation or strong artificiaJ
barriers between scbolan and
taacben in different disciplines. 1
proposed that we find ways to
re-integrate the liberaJ aru and
the: sciences in an effon to
encouraae our students - our
suooe•s&lt;&gt;rs - to develop the kind
or intellectual brudth they will
surely need in the comin&amp;oentury.

ove r what constitutes the
humanities bU Oared up from
time to time over the past two
millennia:, ever since Cicero firs t
used the term to describe the
education of aa ideal orator. By
the fifth century the humanities
were essentially synonymous w11h
the liberal arts, which at that
Lime comprised the mathematical
and linguistic aru as well as
some science, history, and
philosophy. Late in the
Renaissance tl\e term studio
huttrr11titatis was contrasted Wtth
.11udia divinitatis, the fanner
comprising instruction in
grammar, rhetoric. poetry.
history, and moral philosophy
conducted in the ancient
languages of Gra:k and latin.
During the lut century the
humanities became contrasted
not so mucb with divine studies
as with tbe natural sciences. In
the context of uinetccnth~ntu ry
utilitarianiun, the growing
uscfulneaa of science and
technology in everyday life

threatened to push the
humanities Uuo the realm or the

technology .
The most spirited pan of the
modem debate over the
humanities deals not so much
with what subj~cu s hould be
included , but rather with
questions of specific content ,
cmphuis, and method in
humanistic teaching and
scholanhip. Thus , for example,
all would agree that philosophy
ts a humanistic su bject, but sharp
differences arise ove r whether a
required course in philosop hy
shou ld concentrate almost
exclusively o n philosophers
drawn from the traditional
Western canon , o r should g1vc
equal weight to philosophcn
from other cultures and
perspectives.
According to some participan ts
10 the curn:nt national debate,
American students are now
specializing in profeuional and
"'ocational preparation to such
an extent that they are losing lhe
sense of cultural context which
.
the humanities can provide.
Indeed , while the proportion of
st udenu: majoring in economics,
bu~incs.s, and engineering has
mu~hroomed over the past 20
years , the proportion majori ng in
the: humanities has plummeted by
almost a factor of three.
Recc:ntly , critics like E. D .
H1 rsch and Allan Bloom have
contended that, despite (or
perhaps because o r) the general
curricular reforms of the 1970s
and '80s, American students a«:
less informed than ever about the
historicaJ , moral, and artistic
traditions of the world in which
they live. Both men attribute this
lack of cultural literacy, to usc
Hirsch 's now-famous phrase, in
large: pan to a failure of
education in the humanities
Thes.r: criLJcs contend that
students today k.now so little of
the philosophical tradition from
Plato to Rousseau that they have
neither the context nor the
vocabulary for serious
intellectual discussio n.
Lynne V. Cheney, Chairman
of the National Endowment for
the Humanities. delivered just
last year a report on the
humanities in America in which
she notes that today it is possible
to earn a bachelor's degree from
thirty-seven percent of the
co lleges and univenities in
America without taking a single
course in history, from fort y-rive
percent without a coune in
American or English literature:
from sixty-tw~ pc:~nt with no
course in philosophy; and from
seventy-seven percent without
any study of a foreign language.
Both Cheney and Bloom argue
that current humanities progra.nu
have themselves helped to create
this crisis in humanistic
education by downplaying the
use of traditional texu:, and
respondi ng more to the concerns
of contemporary sociopolilical
groups. They believe that the
humanities in America today
have become fragmented,
disordered . aJld diffused.
Several of their oppooc:nu
have replied that Hirsch , Bloom,
and Cheney are merely lamenting
the decline of the Western
hegemony, the inevitable erosion
over time of a culture that was
itself narrow and provincial This

Siao!ford we~ rcceotly chanting,
"Hey. hey. ho, ho. Western Civ
has got to go ... And KVUal
senior scholars have agreed with
them.
Though the intensity of th i.s
debate bcspealu the importance
or the humanities, its terms may
be too starkly dichotomoua-, may
beg the more important question
of whether American students
will be given an opponunity to
learn any tradition , male or
femak , Africa.n or European.
Surely the content of courses in
the humanities mwt be
pennancntly valuable, not merely
fL'Ihionabk: or transitory. Texts
used in humanities courses must
move w with eloquent depictions
of what it means to be human;
they must~ in Matthew Arnold 's

puts it, they must afford us
..truths that pau beyond time
and circumstance: trUths that ,
transcending accidents of class.
race, and gender, speak to w
all. " On the other band. if we
attempt to preserve the
humanities by immuring them
from change, we may
inadvertently desiccate them and
end up with only the dead htnk.&amp;
of earlier inspi rations;.
The answer to this dilemma
may lie in a paper entitled
.. Speaking for tbe Humanities ..
that was recently published by
the American Council of Learned
Societies. One of this paper 's
recommendatioru is that
humanitiestprograms 1hould
continue to teach primarily the
great worb of the traditional
canon~ but 1hould also include
some texts representing other
voices and cultures. The ACL.S
paper goes on to suggest that the
best contemporary scholanhip
should be used to help students
approach traditional texts from a
modem penpective.
Another c~ ticism leveled
recently at profeuon in the
humanities is that their research
has become so specialized and
abstruse u to obscure both the
significance and the centrality of
the humanities in creative
thinking. Of course such criticism
isn' new - similar charges have
been made throughout this
century by numerous people ,
including Upton Sinclair, H.L.
Mencken, and Chark:s Beard.
Thi! last is quoted by Carl E.
Shonke as having given the
followi ng cynicaJ advice when
Shonkc: was an aspiring young
hislorian :

Choosr a commodity, likr tin.
in some African colony. Writ~
your first seminar {Xl/Hf on it.
Wri, your th~sis on it.
Broad~n it to anothu country
or two and writr a book on it.
As you sink your mental/if~
into it, yoU/' liwllhood and an
~stumrd placr in tM halls of
learning wi/1/w assured
As \larious apologists have
pointed out in response to such
criticism~ a certain amount of
specialization is CSKntial to
meaningful scholanhip in the
humanities. u it is in all otber
fields of nudy. The ACLS paper
mentioncd ·earlier goes so far as
to conteod that results of gener-al
signifiCODOC ue produced only
lhrouJ)J biahJy specialized
research. But whatever their
differences, botb crit.ica and
apolopns agree tbat the
humanities would beadit from a
great deal more iotenliocipli.iary
and c:rosa-dilcipliiW)' ocholanhip
in the future. I shaJJ have more
to say on this point lalcr in ·this
add rea.
In lhe final analysis I do ·not

believe Lbe humanities in the
American univenity arc in a
state of crisis. Yes. enrollmcnu in
the humanities have decreased
s harply over tbc past twenty
yean. but there is every reason
to bcl&amp;eve that this decline has
now abated, and that modest
increases in enrollment may be
expected in the future. Yes. there
has been some stinging criticism
of teachina and scholanhip an
the humanitic:l over the put few
years. But thi.s very criticis m hill
precipitated tbc most wideranging and intense debate in our
history over tbe significance of
the humanities in American
culture. The popular preu is full
or anides on the subject, books
decrying the state of tbe
humanities arc sokt by the:
carload, and experts regularly
appear on television to teiJ w
what must be done to revive
humanistic iearnin&amp; in America.
The good news is thai millions
of AmericanS' - parents,
studenu , school teac.hen ~
business people, professors.
workers, politicians, and
homemakers - arc now engaged
in this debate, and practicaJiy aJI
of them stan from the premise
that the humanities are of central
1mponanci to our society.
Viewed from this perspect!n tfie
humanitiC$ are not merely the
object of the debate - they
mclude the debate it.sclf. The
humanities ~ the enormous
convenation that human beings
have with each other on s uch
questions as wblt it'means 10 be
human , and what we ought to do
witb our lives. Thus I do no1
belie'oe the present controveny is
a threat lo the: humanitiea;
rather-, I view it as an indication
of their continuing vita1ty and
importan&amp;.

�US-designed lift.device
is Jeff's liberation
By PATRICIA DONOVAN
News Bureau Staff

or many years, Jeff Mikulski. a
JG-year-old mwieian disabled
by. muscular dystrophy, was
almMt completely dependent on
his pan:nts and other caregivers for
usistance in. performing some of life's
most basic functions - getting out of
bed, going to the bathroom, putting on a
shirt, pants, socks .. ..
"Frustrating?" Mikulski smiles. "Ahh-h, yeah, you could call it frustrating.
"People say 'OK , you have a dis~bility
but you can do anything you want'; he
says. "But when you wake up and literally .have tD be lifted out of bed, that's
pretty bard to believe. I felt almost
totally helpless. The effect on my mental
state wasn' great. As a matter of fact, it
was terrible."
As it turned out, Jeff MikuiJir.i waso'
as helpless as he thought. His assistance
in the design of a low..:ost, in-home personal lifting device bas, in his words,
"absolutely, totally restructured my life
from top to bdttom." It has not only profoundly increased his independence and
altered his outlook on life, but may eventually change the lives of thowands of
other seriowly disabled persons.
The device in question ls a personal
hoist, or ...transfer S)'1ttm," now in the
final stages of development by Roger
Schroeder, research assistant professor
in the School of Architecture and Planning and by engineers at Buffalo's
Columbus McKinnon Corp., whose
$250,000 in research grants made the
project possible. Mikulski, a long-time
friend of Schroeder, was instrumental in
initiating the J!roject and has been
involved as a design consultint from its
inception.
The personal transfer system is essentially a device that all&lt;iws persons incapacitated by paralysis, neurologic disorders and muscular weakness to
perform basic physical transfer operations made difficult or impossible by
their iUnesses.
Hoists of all descriptions an: standard
equipment in hospitals and nursing
homes. The cost of such institutional
equipment bas made in-home use prohibitive, however.
Mikulski led a fairly independent life
outside his home with the help of a specially designed van, ramps and an electric wheelchair. His independence, however, ended at his doorstep.
"Like thousands of others," says
Schroeder, "Jeff became almost totally
dependent the minute he stepped into his
home. He became 'handicapped' unable to perform many functions without assistance because be wasn' able to
lift his legs or to sit up by himself."

F

M

ilr.ulski decided that what be
..-led was a hoist to allow him to
tranafer from lied to wheelchair and so
on. The cost ofs"ucb a device was - pre, dictably - way out o( his financial

.......

He tlU1Ied to his friend Sc:broeder, an
indUitrial cqiDeer by tninina. who
-.reed to belp bim out. Schroeder conductccl (Jdd ~ on hoists of all
desipa ad thea worked in his fatliCr'l
wortahop to dnile a home-made
tralllfer dcYice out ol bameaes, bent

He a&amp;JI die

Milr.llllti

MFortuDIIIely,• ..,. Scllroeder, "it

._awkward

comfort wasn 'I a major issue. Jeff was a
great help. He offered many suggestions
to improve ill utility and throughout the
design prooess continued to contribute
many practical suggestions from the
user's point of view."
Schroeder noted during his research
that poor design seemed to contribute to
the h1gh cost of co111mercial modeiJ,
making them ioaccasible to the home
market. Later, when he applied to the
design program in UB's School of Architecture and Planning, he decided to ·
design an improved personal transfer
system. The work was done in the UB
Adaptive Environme nts Laboratory ,
which conducts hands-on resellf(:h in the
development of a wide range of products
and environments for use by both the
disabled and able-bodied.
Faculty Research Professor and Dean
Emeritw Harold Cohen encouraged
Schroeder to seek research funding
tl!rough private iodwtry. Cohen put
Schroeder in touch with Columbtis
McJ(jonon, which bad expressed.interest
in developing such a system. and was
looking for someone with experience in
the field.
As a result of the collaboration, manufacturing costs have bl.o tut by up to 40
percent. Functions heretofore unavailable in most such devices have been
added and_ the product has been reftned to
allow independent use by persons disabled by spinal cord injury, severe spasticity and musctWar weakiless.
Milr.ulsJti.bas been wing the SchroederMcJCionoo prototype for several months
now and ftnds it reliable and convenient.
"There's a hoist in my bedroom and in
the bathroom," be says. "I carry the portable harness on my chair from one room
to the olber when I want to use it anal
jwt attach it to the hoist. There an: nlany
safety features built right into the device,
so I feel very confident about wing it
alone, although we're not recommending
it at this stage in the testing."
Schroeder and Mikulski are the first to
point out that the system is nola brand
new product. "There an: other hoists
made "by other companies,~ Mikulski
says. "But this one combines design elements in a way that makes it ml!ch easier
to use and saves considerable wear and
tear on both user and caregivers. ?I

'There are other
hoists made by
other companies
but this one combines
desigrr elements in ·
a way that makes it
much easier to use."

T

he only cost for all the added value
is what Schroeder calls "a little time
spent in the design." He says that most
manufacturers are interested in institutional sales and are less concerned with
unit cost, "so they make decisions at the
design stage that raise unit cost and eliminate options outside that institutional
market.
"Of course, cost per unit bas a tremeodow impact on the independent
user," Schroeder continues. "Even if the .
iodivi\lual can afford one, a hoist
designed for institutional we is inclined
to rely heavily on the involvement of
nurses, aides and orderlies who are on
staff. P.atieoll an: not encouraged to haul
themselves in and out of bed. Independent use is often decmpbuiJltd . in that
setting. So manufacturen baven'l conceolrlled on tbede&gt;dopuent ofpdieut~ated hoists.
·
~1 doo 'I blame the manuflli:tUren for
that," Schroeder aays. Mit's more oost
effec:tne ·r01: them to produce what tbe
market w&amp;Dll. f!ut you - . I dido 'I have
to do that. I know what the company
wants - a more effecti...e, COJm:Oient

it. The peat tbiol"ii that 1\'e been able

Jeft Mikuiski, top, uses his personal lilting device. Above, Roger Schroeder,
who designed the transfer. sv.slem.
to keep my options open and satisfy the
needs of the in-home user as well." ·

The hoist is ~y uodf?l"loiog f~t:ld
testio&amp; in Western New Yorlr. hospitals
and Scliroeder expects to test it with disabled peno111 in their bomea.
As a Uoivenity-bued deaiao colllllltant, Schroeder- himldf as part of a
"social iervice desian team M able to work
with industry in tbe intcljelll of both .
compaay and community.

'Detective' Woodson
tracks Swazi history
By MILT CARUN
News Bureau Staff

D

orothy C . Woodson is a
librarian with the instincts of a
detective.
Thus en&lt;!owe.d, the UB
associate librarian plans to delve as
deeply as possi~le into the hazy history
of the small, independent kingdom of
Swaziland in southeastern Africa, to
establish· a national arnbive.
Woodson, a reference librarian and
social sciences subject specialist at
Lockwood Memorial Library, is the
recipient of a prestigious American
Libniry Association fellowship, funded
by the United States Information
Agency, to track down Swazilandrelated historical information and
materials scattered -throughout the
world. These tidbits, when assembled,
will become the • foundation for an
expanded Spcci81 Collections Department
at the University of Swaziland.
Woodson, who is on leave from the
UniVersity fnr an 11-mopth period coding

It's carpeted, comfortable and a refreshing change
from cafeteria service
Editor's note: With the
opening of the Fargo Pub, a
new ambiance and new food
have appearlld on campus.
How is the Pub doing - and
how good is the 'food? To get
answers to these quesfions,
we sent our roving reporter
Ed Kiegle and a taste test
panel of four students ·o n a
critic's mission. Their reports
follow.

Vtew of the spacious new
Fargo Pub. It's handsomely
carpetlld and the "large
room " can accommodate
400 persons.

penpective on the cuisine, in
addition to interesting stories
about ber pet kangaroo.
"CbicUo wings are a good enough reuon to come to
Buffalo," she confesaed.
lodeed, the wings were
jumbo. Tbe nice non-jumbo
aspect of tbe Pub is its prices.
Five of us consumed an
unfinishable meal for less
than teo dollars each, and
that included two rounds of
Dr. Brown's soda.

arpeting!
This is
perhaps
the most
striking
first impression of
the new Fargo Pub.
Carpeting and
waitresses wearing'
tuxedo shirts and
bow ties. These are
things rarely seen on
campus by students,
unless they are
curiousfy peering
into the Tiffin
Room.

C

But the new pub is hardly a
forbidding place. It faces the
hallway on both sides with
wide walls of windows. On
the ri&amp;ht, there was a 1940s
dence being set up by the
History Council, and on the
left,·a menu-toting
hostess asking us not "do
you 'want fries?" but "how
many in your pan~" A nice
stan.
Tbe "large room" can hold
about 400 people, said Rob
Chubbuck, assistent manager
of tbe pub. Tbe small room,
wbere we ate, can bold about
ISO.
We Urlved at quaner to
seven. In the pleasantly dim
dining room, there were
musical instruments on a
raised platform. Chubbuck
explaiDed that "there will be a
blues baDd playing. One of
the good thioga about tbe
new deai&amp;n is that we can put
on simultaneoUs events ...
Student IJ'Oups, as weU u
other IJ'OUpa, can ·reserve
space in the oeparate rooms
for ~nts. After 9 p.m.,
space is reserved for student
use on.ly• .
Cbubbcct said modestly
that "buoioess is picking up,"
but there were people waiting
for tab'"' during the duration
of our llay. ChubbuCk aaid
that the pub micbt open for
lunch. at IOJIIIC point in the
future. "llilht now, we only
cater lunches during the day."

T

be wide' variety of fare
on tbe menu will soon
be wider. "We now

bough we were not
treated to the sounds of
tbe forthcoming blues
band, the pub tactfully avoids
the e~crutiatiDgly loud music
that ·is a risk at some student
hang.Puts. The atlnospbere is
very comfortable:'
The staff provides service
from six until nine on
weekdays and five to nine on
weekends, so those are the
tioies to .JO.
oi ia most
impressi'¥'1! """"""Piilliments
of the pub is to ri&amp;htfuUy
earn the title "restaurant" on
a campuS bannted by
crowded cafeterias. From nine
to one seven days a weelc,
waiters are not provided, end
the pub "is lilr.e a pizza shop,"
according to one employee.
The pub is eqlripped with a
OJ booth behind the stage in
the diDiDg room. •we can
broadcaif music in one room
or the other, or both," said
Chubbuck. A satellite dish is
on tbe way.
.
"We should have the
satellite dish in a couple of
weeb, • Cliubbuck laushed.
"Well be able to provide
movies, sports events, aod
dowa the road, cducatiODal
proarammiog for Uoe
departmenu.. The clilh i's
being-acquired tllnluib the
EdUCIItional Communications
Center.
Our meall:ODiialcd of
tacos, pizza, a hamlilqtt (u
an experimental control' of
IOIU), chiclen winp, aod
shrimp eg rolls. E\Jell tbe .
hamburger deserves 111ention:
it wu accompanied by real
steak fries, which any
connoisseur bows are .
superior to the llring bean
McDonald's variety.
· The pub is a refreshing
change from the uaual
cafeteria-tray llfl'allltllleDl .
that seems to prevail at lJll.
And though fhc Tdl"m Room
remains t~H) coct.ly for most
studcnll, be it tllowD thai
there ia a plat:e to at a llearty ·
enjoyable meal in a plaqe
that J6:oloiz,es that ~Is
are people too.
At. Rob£11ubbuck said of
the pub •u people Ft to
kDow llbaat it, the Ollly w.y

T

have the opponuniiy to offer
oriental food all weelc, instead
of only Saturday and
Sunday," Chubbuck
remarked. He pointed out the
six pizza ovens, wbere pub
cheO produce a "true New
York style IbiD pizza."
In addition to the standard
fare (i.e., h••k p:u,: freecb
fries, pizza) there are aections
labeled wFar East," "The

It&amp;lian Connection, • end
"South of the Border. • The
supreme nachos have been a
good seUer, according to
Chubbld. But the serious
non-vegetarien diner has the
option of a real New York
strip steak - "seasoned to
your!taste,~ of course - or
Mexic:ao style rice or. beans.
Shrimp l!gg Fu Yung,
perhaps?

It seems that the Pub is
makins every effon to tempt
the palate and destroy the
common myth that one cen
tive for four years on Nonon
muffins and coffee.
Not to be intimidated by
the specious JIIICDUS, we
ordered IOJIIICIIIiq from every
aectioo and shared Vikinsotyle. Our Allllralian visitor,
. Kau:IYD, provided a llllique

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

will requirt extensive recruitment
efforts over the next ten years . .. lnd~ .
in some departments we wiU need to find
replacements for nearly half of our current professorial staff. Looking ahead to
what will surely be a fiercely competitive
market in the mid to late '90s. the foc us
group fell that we should consider stock piling excellent humanities facult y now ,
and in so doing mortgage some of the
vacancies that will occur later m the
decade."
UB has traditionally done well in
attracting outstanding young Ph. D.s in
the humanities to entry-level facult y
positjoos. But now it may have to balance these efforts "with greater emphasis
on recruiting persons who are already
well established at the associate professor leYeL •
In addition, humanities scholars will
have to seek more support from external
sources to-do their research and accomplish their creative endeavor:a"Research fellowships enable scbolan

in the: humanities to add significantly to
the store of human knowledge ," Sample
said . ..Training grants enable them to
share that knowledge with college or
high school teacbe" who usually have
neither the time nor the support for full time research _ And other grants enable
humanities facuhy to share their work
with the public at large."
Humanities research at UB is vigor·
ous. the president said, with a facult y
that relishes unusual investigations and
nees from the notion of scholarship as an
antiquarian's preservation of the past.
The: attempt .. to preserve the old by
generating the new ," Sample said , is evident in such projects as the creation of an
anthology of plays by African and
African-American women, a lecture on
art and law, a conference on computer
aesthetics, and an inter-arts performance
week.
Also notable, Sample said, is the University's ability ""to assemble an extraordinary constellation of outstanding
African-American faculty across a wide
range of humanities departments, from
Theatre to Art History to AfricanAmerican studies."
Sample iuso pointed to the recent

These-include Rockefeller and Guggenheim fellowohips, two elections to tbe

ut .. all is not sweetness and light" in
the humanities departments, Sample acknowledged . -our facult y have
been sub.rcctc:d to tbe stress and stram of
the national debate o ve r the human Ities . .
.. And wh ile enro llments an the humanIties at UB may have increased over the
past five yean, they have not come close
to the levels achieved in the late 1960s.
Then, too, ever since the College of Arts
and Sciences was disbanded in 1967, the
humanities at U 8 have been separated in
two different decanal units
th&lt;
Faculty of Arts and Letters and the
Faculty of Social Sciences."
Sample reiterated bis desire to foster
research "that is truly interdisciplinary in
nature;" encourage professors to teamteach undergraduate councs with colleagues from other disciplines; and urge
tbe best students to pu,..ue dual majon

in "two widely disparate fields."
The humanities, said Sample, "lie at
the very heart of our enterprise." The
content of courses in the humanities
must be "permanently_ valuable, not
merely fuhionable or transitory."
As for the proper balance of a canon
of classic works and the need to represent diverse cu.Jtures and voices, Sample
cited a recommendation contained in a
paper published by the American Council of Learned Societies (AC LS). Humanities programs should continue to teach
primarily the great works of the traditional canon, the ACLS papc;r opined,
but they should also include some texts
representing otber voices and cultures.
Perhaps ironically, the often stinging
criticism of some humanities scholanhip
has -precipitated the most wide-ranging
and intense debate in our history over
the signliciana: of humanities in American culture,· Sample said_ Central to this
debate are the humanities tbemJdves:
"what it means to be buman and what we
ought to do with our lives. •

Nuclear reactor is shut down after leak is discovered
" T h e Umversi ty at BuffaJo nuclear
reactor has been temporarily
shut down after a leak was
d iscovered on Sunday from the
main reactor tank into the nucfear facility's radioactive waste sto~ system.
University and nuclear facility offiCials
state that the~ is no threat to public
health or safety from the facility, near
Rotary Road on the South Campus. The
reactor 's main function is to produce
short-lived radioisotopes for medical
research facilities uouod the country, u
weU as for university laboratories and
industry.
The leakaae wu discovered by nuclear
facility staff on Sunday, Nov. 5, at4 p.m.
when a.aew arrived for the routine lltartr • .

up of the reactor after its weekend shutdown. At that time, they saw that the
level of water in !be 3(}-feeHieep reacto r
lank was three inches lower than normal.
The leak poses no danger to the reac·
lor sy~tem. Nevertbcless, University officiah ens.ured "an additional margin of
safety" by keepina the reactor shu\
down, said Louis H.eruy, general man"1"• of the nuclear facility.
Tbe reactor will remain shut down
until the cauoe of the leakage is identiflOd
and ~paired, Heruy said. Outside counsultina fmDI will he brou&amp;ht in to aid in
this effort, he added.

Other Universi ty Improvements Sample sees as increasing the qualit y of stu dent life include the upgrade of U B's
athletic program to Division 1 and the
Fine Arts Ce nter (FAC), which "has
been a crucial missing pan of our undergraduate life," Sample said. He said that
the bids a~ back for the FAC and that
I he contraCt should be awarded soo n.
Parcel B, Sample said, should help to
overcome the ..sense of isolation .. on the
North Ca mpus. " !think it will gi"" us the
sense of a campus town that might tate
25 years to build any other way."
Sample said he was disappointed with
progress on Greek Row. Although UB
has purchased the land and set up terms
for the fraternities and sororities to take
possession of housing there, Sample
said, "frankly, we have not been so successful. Out of our 22 fraternities and
sororities, only one or two could come
up with the down payment."

n one major area of importance, campus safety, Sample said UB bas done
well. "This is, by national standards, a
relatively safe campus. We ha"" the blue
light telephone system, we ha"" beller
lighting, and we have dramatically
expanded our student services," Sample
said.

Another enhancement to undergraduate s tudent life . the Dis tins;uisbed
Speaker Series, SampiC staled, "was
bro ught about primarily with undergraduates in mind ... It bas been more
!&lt;~ U cccss fullatcly , he explained, attracting
larger numbers of undergraduates than
al first .
Progress has .also been made in
rec ruitme nt and retention of minority
'tudent s. Sam ple said . "'I sec that as an
1mportant part of improving the quaJ ity
o f hfc for all students. I sec the international programs in the same wa y"
because it is beneficial for undergradu ate!~ to be ex posed to different cultures.
So me of the advancemen ts Sample

1he South Campus will play in the life of

l&gt;pace on that campus.
.. A basac question for the University is
do we sec those dormitories being occupied 10 the long term by undergradu ates?" Sam ple asked. If not. then most of
the peo ple on that campus wiU be facult y

Tra ns tt Authority might benefit students . .. It would seem to me that o ne
thmg th a t wo uld hdp student life on th is
cam pus IS if we co uld get the subway
ex pans1o n built .. to the North Campus
Sample said that the cost of such an
ex pansio n .. would be in the vicinity of

S350 million and that the federal
government is less willing to pay for
these projects today than back when the
first part of tbe subway was built.
Molly EUen B~nnan, Student Association representative, noted that there
arc communication problems among
undergraduates, due i.n part to Lht:
.. spread-out .. nature of student government.
These problems are also due to the
shift to Amherst. Sample said. " I think
what happens wben you move a university is you fractun: the informal lines of
comm unication. lDe good oews is that
the informal communication network regrows, but it takes on the order of a
quarter to a half of a century.
"The question is., can we accelerate the
process?" be asked.
FSEC Chair William Miller pointed
out that the North Campus doesn' have
an easily identiftablc: center, lo which the
president replied that be believes "the
center is shifting very rtpidly to the east,
by a few hundred feet.
"My guess is that in a few yean, with
the completion of Parcel 8 and tbe Student Union, it will be in that area," Sample said.

According lo Pubhc Safely lnspec1or

.. There arc many pressures that studcnls an: under ," Gale said .. Many students take oul loans, and are worned

f-amil y problems may also contribute
to the pressures a student faces . For

losses lake a death of so meo ne close. or

pmnt of desperation at which a person
co uld consider death as I he only option ...
According 10 Gale, the common belief
that a suicidal person is not doing well.

statistics suggest something different. ..
She made reference to the Edwin Arlington Robinson poem ·· Richard Cory, ..
which describes a successful man who
suddenly kills himself.
She also recalled a statistic to suppon
this . .. Eight percent of suic1dal students

.&lt;
in this study were failing, but the res1
were superior students ...
AIL six of the suicides thai have
occurred at U 8 in recent years have

1. Bill has been employed
at the University for nine
years. He's begun to have problems with
colleagues and his graduate students
bccaust of his drinking. 8iU fears hiS
drink.ing may cost him his career.
2. Mary is under a lot of pressure at
work. She's been with the University for 21
years. There have recc:ntly been a number
of departmental and policy changes. She
says she's not sleeping welt, is nervous, and
finds coming to work in ttJc: morning
difficult.
3. Sam's marriage seems to be falling
apart . He's r=ntly moved back to his
mother's home. He 'li irritable . with c&lt;&gt;workers and his work has become erratic.
4. Cynthia and her husband always
thought they had a pretty intact family.
then the twins, Jodi and John, becam&lt;
adolescents and living with them has
strained everybody\; nerves.
These: a.n: not real cases, but they represent the types of problems dealt with by
the Employee Assistance Prpgram (EAP)
at the University. EAP is a joint tabormanagement program supported by the
campus unions, Reseateb Foundation,
and the University. It is designed to bdp
an employee handle a problem before it
seriously ·impacts his or b:r job performance. Such problema may include alcoholism. cbcmicaJ clepeodcpcy, marital, family, lcpl., or ftnancing

ccording to Barbara Christy, chair of the Employee
Assistarace Program (EAP)
Committee, "The use of
EAP by University employees· bas risen dramatically over the
years. This is illustrated by the statistics
which show usage each year. In 1987, 290
individuals used the program. In 1988, the
figure rose to 397. Through September of
this year, EAP has provided service for 309
persons.
"'h is interesting. but somewhat alarming, to view the statistics on the kinds of
problems presented to EAP. Approximately 32 percent of the total cases are
substance abuse and / or aloobol related.
That f.gure does not include an additional
I I percent of cases which are referred to
self-help groups such as Al-Teen and AtAnon. These are individuals who are concerned with a family member's substarace
or aloohol abuse. Other problems encountered by' our employees include outpatient, mental health (19%). family counseling ( 17%). legal (5%). and financial
(3%)."
Christy has high praise for the three
EAP coordinators who have served the
program since 1985. "The coordinators are
regular University employees who are giving of themselves to help fellow employees.
Arthur Burke may be reached at636-31 16,
Richard SiJigel.kow at 636-3166, and
Wilma Watts at 831-2155.
"They spend a tremendous amount of
time identifying community services which
are available to handle employee prol&gt;lems, listening carefully, and matching the
employee with the proper resource. And ,
of course, they are all bound by the EAP
policy of total confidentiality. •

Interviewed in the GBO's

explains, resulted from the

Western New Yodt Opera
Theatre and bis own Buffalo
Lyric Opc:ra. The lalter was

students fully into the world
of opera.
"I got some parents (of UB
singers) together and said it
would be nice to have a real
company, so that the kids
would not only have their
education but a reaJ
professionaJ outlet, which we
didn' have. So the first board
members of the Buffalo Lyric
Opera Theatre met in Slcx

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

UGC dean for tbn:e-year terms. Also
memben of tht general assembly are 16
students and 16 mem'ben of the professional ataJT whose work involvn lludenu. An executive committee, chaired
by Thorpe, includes the deana of the
Faculties of Aria and Lett~n, Natural
Sciencea and Mathematic~, and Social
Sciences, along with &amp;eneral assembly
chair Carmelo Privitera of biology, two
senior members of the general assembly,
and a student representati:ve.
Jeannette Ludwig of Mcidem Languages and Literatures is the current
secretary of the general assembly. She
believes that recent developments have
"caused us to begin to think oT the
Undergraduate Colle&amp;e as a · whole, in
terins of students rather than departments. Working as a team, the faculty
can have a greater impact on student
lives."
Thomaa Headrick of La'¥ is anothtr
supporter. "The Undergraduate College
brought together a group of dedicated
fa&lt;:u!Jy Trom throughout the University
to focus attention on how to make
undergrad uate education a stronger,
more challenging experience for every·
one involved."
Student contributions are also
encouraged by the UGC administrators.
..The student perspective is like a breath
of fresh air coming into so me of tbesc
discussions... says Thorpe.
Marie Cinta. student representative to
\he general assembly 1n 1988-89 and a
former member of the executive committee, comments: .. In a broad sense, they 've
really established a framework for a
good sense of what really needs to be
improved in education - such as that
students shouldn' jll!t take classes in
their majors but should have as broad a
curriculum as possible ...
Weaknesses1 Cinti thinks advtsement
needs to be beefed up. "The (college's)
advisement co mmittee hasn't really ~n
active in the past , and I'd like to sec 11
become more active in the future. I think
advisement will beco me mo re imponan t

to students as this new curriculum
becomes implemented .·
Thorpe agrees. "It's the long-term goal
of the college to be concerned with aca·
demic student life much more broadl y
than simply general education curriculum matters. In particular, the college

· needJ to be cooccrncd about quality of
acad.e mie advilemeot and the quality of

program is more ambitious in aco~than
the current general education pR{gram, ·
"as it moves us away from a grab bag of
courses available to students.
"Ill' ttre existing program, we relied on
students to bring Sl1\lcture to their program, and we know that many of them
did not. In the (core curriculum) proP.,
osal now before the general assembly,
ihe f!'Culty have again taken responsibility for the structure of the general education curriculum. And students should
receive a stronger undergraduate education because of it."
Adds Thorpe: " We're not tall&lt;ing
about a general ed~cation program that
will be static and unchanging but rather
a ~neral education program that will be
dynamic and responsive to changing
needs."
In five years, says Peter Gold, "it's
likely to have transformed the way we
deliver undergraduate education and to
do it for the better."

Brokaw says·winds of Change
to make next decade notable ·

Reporter S1aff

T

be wmds of change. will make
the last decade in the 20th
century notable, said Tom
.
Brolcaw, anchor and man"Biog
editor for the NBC Nightly NeWL
Brokaw brought his cosmQpolitan view
of the world and his rural hometown
honesty to UB's Alumni Arena this past
Sunday evening.
Brokaw was the second speaker in the
1989-90 UB Distinguished Speaken Series, "The State of Our Nation,- sponsored by the University and the Don
Davis Auto World Lectureship Fund.
1"hese are exceptional times in our
lives as we prepare for the countdown
into a new century," said Brokaw. He
pointed to the Soviet Union where
change is "breathtaking" and occuting at
a poa: that n.Ver could have been
imagined just a few yean ago.
Rebellion by ethnic groups in the
Soviet Union, the difficult process of
democratization, the movement toward
a market economy, and acknowledgement of these pro!!kms by Soviet leader
Gorb!l"bev are events that are important
to all of llJ, said Brokaw.
The changes in the Soviet Unioo m'ter
down and spread to other countries, he
said. The most immediate impact can be
felt in Eastern Europe. "East Germany is
proclaiming itself a democratic nation
and in Poland the people are talting a
stand tp FAfVC: out a niche: for their country'- be Odded.
Brokaw cautioned, though, that the
progressive changes emanating from the
Soviet Union are not assured for the
future. "We can\ count on him (Gorbacbev) succeeding; some Soviet officials
are telling us that he will fall from
power."
In Western Europe, "new economic
relationships are being established,"
while in South Korea an "ambitious and
effiCient economic monster" is rearing its
bead and slowly grabbing world
. markets, said Brokaw.

M

eanwhile, he noted, that although
Japan is suffering from political
turmoil and . struggling with social
reform, especially with regard to
women's right., the Japanese- economy
still pnoclices "samurai" tactics to achieve
economic dominance throughout the
world.
In the Middle East, ·a stalenia!C still
exists between Israel and the Palestinians
but with .Egypt playin&amp; a greater role in
brin8ing the two sides together ~time
is ricbt for ciJan&amp;e," Brolcaw stated.

ln spite or the blondy massacre in
China'a liananmen Square and the
craclcdown by the Cbi.- aoveTJLIIICDt
on studenu foUbwina the inc:idtnl,
Brokaw reported that tbe battle for ademocratic China goes on. ~tly. be

People from other countries . are
intrigued and fucinatcd with the
aaid Brokaw. However, be ~ ' that
dUring his trips a~road many poop~ tell
him that the U.S. is not the powerful
nation that it 011100 - ·
In order for this country to regain its
stature, ~ to Brokaw, government mui't talce a more active role in
formulating a vision for the future. T!&gt;e
American people also w.ant a clear definition or our goals from the . executive .
branch, be added.
For now, President Bush is doing well,
especially with regard to his penolllli
stvle. which unlilce former President
Reagan, is relaxed, Brolcaw stated. "Bush
is a prpsperous president but not a showoff," be said.
The White House believes in "temperament," Brokaw stated. "The president
bas no grand schemes. lllere is no talk
about the war on poverty or the malais!
in government," be added. ln the longterm, this may hurt Bush because both
Congress and the country want.a more
vigorous and well-&lt;lefincd administration with an executive who will show his
leadership qualities.
.
Bush bas this capacity, and with his
high popularity rating "the time is ripe,"
but the president must begin to act now,

Brolcaw also spolce about the scourge
of drugs and bow all segments of American society are being 'a ffected by its ravages. "We must end the demand for
drugs in America through education,
treatment, incarcecation, and community commitment," be said.

Members of the audience aslced

areas totally devastated l!X. the qualce.
" Each night (on the NBC Nightly

Brolcaw. "I thinlc the press and electronic media did pretty well with this atory. • He
added that tragedies lilce the earthquake
create a ~certain amount of hysteria"
which hopefully does not transcend OYer

However, with the state of electronic

Examining

Reporte&lt; lialf

e shouJ41oolr. at comervation as the moral equivalent of war,~ aays Walter
Simpson. Univenity energy
co~~~ervation officer and one of the
organizen of a conference, MGreenhouse ·
Effect and Global Warming" to be held
Nov. 6-12 as part of a National Week of
Education.
The cOnference, sponsored nationwide
by the Union of Concerned Scientists,
represents the lint time that an environ,
mental wue will be addressed in terms of
its global ramifications through this
forum . The University is one of over 200
universities and colleges to participate in
this project.
The overall purpose of the six-day
event is to ..come up with a plan of action
for dealing with global warming," Simpson said . The irony, he added , is that
.. there has been a massive amount of
media attention focused on thu problem
but very little in the way of government
initiatives has occurred ." There is also an
increuing awareness among scientists
and environmentalists that the greenhouse effect is becoming more pronoUnced and action needs to be taken to
avoid an Mecological Armageddon."
The main culprit in the increase in
global warming is carbon dioxide. Carboo dioxide accounts for 50 percent of
the greenhouse effect and comes primarily from the burning of fossil fuels (coal,
oil, and natural gas) as well as from deforestation . Scienti sts fear that an
increase in carbon dioxide emissions will
lead to climate changes greater than anyth.ing ever experienced in human history.

Such changes include an increase in the
planet's temperature, rising ocean and
lake levels, low lying and coastal lands
being nooded, and interior portions of
continents becoming deserts. This could
lead to conflicts over food and land as
well as a massive migration of people
from regions most affected by the greenhouse effect.
"People wont to deny the danger
posed by the greenhouse effect and just
live for today," Simpson said . "People
don' want to think about the greenhouse
effect and will therefore cling to any

E~~rgy

Six-day conference to deal with global warming

doubts given by those who claim there iJ
no threat to the environment." Unfortunately, scientific evidence points in the
opposite direction.
The threat posed by the greenhouse
effect has also been ignored by the federal government, Simpson said. He
argues that ...the government needs to
encoura'e a moral climate to educate the
public about environmental issues ...
However, go)'ernments at aU levels have .
been reluctant to get on board the environmental bandwagon because ... Americans do not want to hear about the need
to sacrifice in order to reduce the greenhouse effect ," said Simpson.

Capen Lobby.

How can people find out.:1more about
the greenhouse effect and global warm~g? "Show up at the events," says Simpson. The conference will feature a
number of lectures, discussions and
exhibits by faculty, industry, and other
concerned individuals.

Fuel will be held on both campuses.
These clinics are of particular interest to
homeowners and renters who want to
save energy and money while reducing
their contributions to the greenhouse
effect.
The conference will also highlight a
collection of Tom Toles' editorial cartoons from the Buffalo N~: focusing 'On
the environment. The 20 Cartoons will he
on display in,. Capen Lobby until Nov.
12.
Finally, there will be a number of poster exhibits, artwork, vidcot1, and literal urc tables set up throughout 'the week.
Artwork done by UB art students as weU
as elementary school children showing
the effects of an environmental crisis will
be shown.
All of these events, according to Simpson, should remind us that ~ need to
think about the environment for future
generations ... . More information about
the conference and environmental issues
in general. can be obtained from the Conserve UB Energy Conservation Program,

UB could have major role in fighting greenhouse effect
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Reporter Staff

be University could he a major
player in fighting the greenhouse effect : according to
Walter Simpson, UB conservation officer. "UB could lead the way in
conservation for homeowners and
industries, " Simpson said.
The University has had an ongoing
conservation effon since the first energy
crisis hit in 1973-74, he said, adding that
"the University has done a good job in
terms of conservation, but there are now
some interesting opportunities for even
greater action."
Such efforts include shifting from coal
to natural gas to genel1\le heat in Alumni
and O'Brian Halls within a year as well
as converting hnt water beatiilg in
Ellicott and Governor's to natural gas
from coal. On the South Campus, plans
are under way to study the pouibility of
genet;atiog steam heat through natural
us aod then usin&amp; the waste beat ·from
natural p1 t.o generate electricity.
RecyclinJ paper products is another·
way that the Uni,.;,mty can reduce its
contribution to the gRICDhouae effect.

Simpson ~ that "for every ton of

T

paper recycled, 17 trees are saved as well
as 50 percent of the ene rgy needed to
manufacture paper."
Simpson is now drawin'k up a master
plan to determine what is recyclable in
terms of solid waste collection. He is also
investigating the most cost-dfective way
to recycle.
Once the study is completed, Simpson
argues that the University "should be

greenhouse effect? According to Fred
Snell, professor of biophysical acicnces,
the Univetsit~nerated 71,648 tons of
carbon in the fllcal year 1988-89. This
amount is broken down as follows:
electricity, 60,500tons/year; natural gas,
1,797; coal, 8,746; g.aoline_(diesel), 425;
gasoline (mowing the grass), 13.6; and
fuel required ·for&gt; tbe Bluebird shuttle
buses, 166 tons per year. ln addition,
Snell has computed that carbon
emiuions from faculty, staff, and student
commuter use ia equal to 13,986 tons per
year.
.
SneU added that the total amount of
carbon generated "represents a faidy
significant chunk for one institution. • ln
addition, he calculated that to -trap the
total amount of carbon generated by the
University tb.rough photosynthesis
would require 73 square miles of young
growth forest b"ued on a tree diameter of
g inches with an a'Verage hei&amp;ht of 34
feet.
The motto for those concerned about
conservation ab.ould be to "ttlinn: about

'

That's the challenge of
emergency medicine - it 'I the front lines
in the fight against the trauma of major
injury. And because the emergency room
is l·he first stop for many kinds of cases,
emergency medicine physicians need
skills that cut across many disciplines surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychilltry, and community relatiolll. ·
Braen, a pioneer in this relatively new
speciality area. has been named chair of
UB's newly created Deparuneftt of
Emergency Medicine.
"I've been practicing since 1976, and I
don 'l know of a day that's gonel&gt;y when

before," said Braen. "I like the variety."
Braen remembers the time he was
working an evening shift in Lexington,
Kentucky. A call came in over the radio
to expect five people burned in a car
accident. It turned out that all five wen:
deaf and unable to speak. Because their

hands were burned, communication

was

a challenge - they couldn't speak,
couldn't write, and couldn't use sign
language.
"We had to do the best we could, •

WitbUt the school, the new department
will work with medical students at various levels. It will expand the offeringsfor emergency medicine roLations and
offer services to existi.na courses that
want to include emergency medicine
·topics.
The three-year ,residency program will
train 10 emergency medicine residents a
year. EmerJCncy medicine is one of the
most competitive reaidencies, be added.
p_rogram will be bued at two
main OO.pitals, Buffalo General and the
Eric County Medical Center, with MilJan! Fillmore aod Children's hospitals
rupplementing the program. Most emer·
gency medicine residency programs use
more than one hospital, Braen noted.
He hopes to have the residency program in place by July 1991.

As lhe technology of ca~for
patients becomes more so isticated,
more people with serio
njuries can
now be saved.

said. "In the great01: Buffalo area. I can
count all of them on 'two hands, maybe

Nation-wide, there are only about
7,000 certified emergency medicine phy·
sicians available to m1 30,000 available
positions, be noted. Since most of the
lrainioa programs are in the Midwest
and West, they can\ keep up with the
need in the EasL ·
Because UB's training program ia
located in tbe Eas! and is at a univenity,
"we 'II be very competitive and in very
high demand, and we'll get very good,
qualified residents in the program,"
Brae!} predicted.
The residents in tum can teach the
students.
"The key is the people," be said.
Ten years down the road, Braen hopes
Ute department will have a fully credentialed residency program that will be
supplying residency graduates to area
hospitals, that there's an appropriate
interest in emergency medicioC from
m~cal students, and that there's a weUestablished research component in areas

such as shock and trauma.

Saran received a B.A. in psychology
as well as a master's degree in community health from the University of Rochester. Her research irr the area of health

"As more children

By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Reporter Staff

M

elinda Saran has pac ked in
some hefty experience as an
advocate for the rights of the
handicapped since her graduation from UB Law School in 1986.
Saran, now a visiting clinician at the.
School, began working at UB in August
in the Education Law Clinic.
Saran is poised to pursue a career in
special education law. After graduation
from the Law School, she was hired by
Neighborhood Legal Services of Buffalo
where her main area of expertise was in
rights of the handicapped. "Half my time
was spent on cases involving Social
Security. while the other half was spent
on cases dealing with vocational
re habilitati o n thr o ugh the client
ass istance: program, .. she noted .
Saran's .. claim to fame" was her role
m a case invo lvi ng a lJ B student paralyzed from tht neck d own who was
dependent o n ~~t ventilator 10 s urvive.
Tht s tudent req uired cons tant care from
a nurse and funds were provided for that
purpose through the Medicaid program.
Because the individual wanted to leave
home to attend a university, Medicaid
would not provide for a nurse to see to
has ca re while he was in class. The case

lost a Social Senica fair llelrins ·but
&gt;won in tbe State Supreme Court.
However, the State appealed to the
Appellate Division of State Supreme
Court which reversed the deci!ion. The
student could not attend the university.
An appeal has been launched in the
Co urt of Appeals, Saran said.
Saran noted that there is an interest in
the area of education law beyond tha t of
the legal community. "There is great
interest in Buffalo because of Children's
Hospital and special education programs developed at Buffalo State College and D'Youville College,"she added.
The issue is also attracting greater

law students. ·
national attention. As more chi\&lt;fren

becoml dtpendent on technologies to
save and sustain life, cases involving their
right to access for federal funds will
become more relevan,t, she notes.

' opponunity to
aran welcomes the
pursue these iss ues at UB because
she can deal with the rights of the handicapped rather than administrative issues
in health care law and-policy.
"I wanted to be more of an advocate
rather than an admin istrator,"' says

S

said. Her interest in UB was also stimulated by the Education Law Oinic
din:cted by Ronald Hager of the Law
School and Mary Lang, technical
assislant.
Saran was appointed to a one-year
contract beginning in August of this
year. At the Education Law Clinic, ber
primary responsibility is "to supervise
third-year law students working on edu·
cation cases."
There are currently eight students
associated with the clinic and Saran describes them as "very good and enthusiastic." The eppointmedl allows for
" hands-on experience because of the
supervision required for interviews and
cases involving the students," she added .
More "importantly, Saran's appoint·
ment provides "an invaluable opportunity for me t9 focus on one area of law in
depth. I can develop more expertise in
one particular area - special education
law - to belter assist individuals in
asserting their rights."

UB tuition payments late, state comptroUer claims
By DAVID HIMMELGREEN
Reporter Staff

tudents at UB do not pay thei r
tuition and fees in a timely
manner, according to New
York State Com~troller Edward
Regan. And this is one of the several
problems related to the financial
management practices at the Univenity.
In a report by tbe Office of the Staie
Comptroller on "Financial Management
Practices" at UB, covering a period from
April , 1987 through March , 198g,
auditors cite lax policies in several areas
that affect the ftnancial integrity of the
Univenity.
Criticisms and recommendations have
been made over the collection of tuition,
payroll expenditures, inventory controls,
an"d audits of miscellaneous cash
collections.
However, the criticis.m over tuition..
and fees is of• particular concern to
Regan beeause UB will Criticized for the
same problem" in 1984 and 1987.
UB is tbe only sebool in tbe SUNY
system that does not comply with SUNY
guidelincl that requiJe that all tuition
and fees be paid O( properly deferred by
tbe lint day of cluaes each - . .
Despite previous recommendati0111 by
Regan'a off~ee and reuaurance of
compllaace by UB, · the Com~II!lr's
audit rnaiDd that atudCDta oWed more
thaD $6.9 million iD tuition and fees after
four ..U followiaa tbe bqiDDina of •
the .Fall, 1917 _.._
•~~a~ec~ upop SUNY's
tuition
.n.Je of S67S per IOIIIIIler, ~ (the $6.9

S

m-

million) is the equivalent of more thaD
10,000 students attebding classes without
paying their tuition," said Regan on Oct.
18, in Albany.
Furthermore, he adds that the balance
of owed money bad not been deferred in
accordaoce with the general policies
established by SUNY central
"1be failure to collect all tuition and
fees prior to the ftnt day of classes
increases the possibility of bad debts," said
Regan.

"The policy at UB is
if you don't pay you
must be deferred
with an appropriate
hardship."
Leonard Sny"der, aaaociate vice
president and comptroller at UB,
os!imates that bet....en $2 and 2.S million
of owed tuition and fees would be
appropriately defemd due to student

banbbip.
He adds that during the I 988-89 academic year UB collected 99 percent of all
tuition and fees and the names of the
remaining one percent of students wlio
did not pay were turned over to the
Attorney General's office for prosecution.
· 1o the put, UB ltUdatu
not

were

weeki if!to cedi -

- - At the

recommeodation of the Comptroller's
office, the Univenity changed this policy
at the beginning of the Spring 1987
semester. Bills are now sent to students
3S days prior to the start of classes and
payment is due by the fmt day of the
semester.
ln addition, UB bas instituted a $20
penalty fee for students who do not pay
their bills on time. Additional- $20
penalties are aueued with each new
invoice that is leD! out and not paid.
Those students who do oot preregister
are also aueued this penalty fee because
their cbarges will not be paid for by the
fmt day of classes. Students who do oot
pay on time are permitted -to attend
classes and receive grades but they will
oot get transcripts or be allowed to
register for subsequent aemesten until
payments
made, said Snyder.

are

S

nyder notes that the poticy at UB is
that "if you don' pay then you must
be deferred with an appropriate
hardship."
Despite these changes in poticy, the
University, according to the State
Comptroller's report, is being negligent
in assurin&amp; that tuition and fees are
promptly collected.
The contention between SUNY and
the auditor's offtee may well center
around · proper)y documented deferrals
and interpmation of SUNY flD&amp;llcial
guidcllnel, said Snyder.
The audit report contends that the
Uniw:nity is too lax when it comes to
doc:umentiJia a:udenl .banbbip. Instead,
ueiii" :·automatiC?ally excnu the

· payment of tuition and fees.- on the
unsupported assumption that failure to
pay is equivalent to inability to pay."
Normally, SUNY campuses are
oblipted to defer student payment if
tuition and fees are supported by a New
York State Regerits scholarship, fellowship, or grant, a Tuition Assistance
Program a-nrd (TAP), Office of
Vocational Rehabilitation apon10rabip
or Veteran's benefit payments. ~
tionary defernls are also allowed for
students who have received support from
otber State or fedeJal programs.
'
While UB recognizes tbe deferral
problems as outUned -by tht audit,
Snyder points out that tbe Uoiw:nity is
aggressively addressini the criticiam.
For example, while many other SUNY
schools extend deferrals for other types
of financial aid such u Guaranteed
Student Loans (GSL). UB will not
accept this form of ai4 as a Iesitimate
hardship exciue for deferment.
It is the responsibility of the student to
secure these types of aid in time for
prompt payment of tuition, aaid Snyder.
Therefore, "tb!: policy of the Um-sity
is to aueu the penalty fee in~ where
GSL cbec:ks ba~ not becD ~
unless the U.nivenity is aomebow
responsible for t'be delay of ~ •

Olftciall at UB are lakia&amp; to heart U..

Marinsky was invol\led in
the research that ol&gt;as being
conducted at Oak Ridge, Tennesoee, in 1944. "I was in the
Anoy, in, the special training
program at Purdue . I had one
semester left before I got my
bachelors in chemical engineering when they transferred 18 of
us to the Manbactan Projeer in
Oak Ridge," be recalled.
The Manhattan Project
involved several laboratories
across the nation, each concentrating on a specific area of the
development of the weapons.
The most famous is Robert
Oppenheimer's laboratory ,
located in Los Alamos, New
Mcx.ico, where the design and
assembly took place with the
combined input of some of the
greatest engineers, chemists,
and physicists at the time.
The Clinton Laboratories in
Oak Ridge were involved in
several tasks, including the
production of tbe uranium 235
used in the bomb called "little
boy." Uranium in its natural
state contains mostly uranium
238, and only 0.7 per cent uranium 235.
"Til&lt;! Y12 lab . was involved
in separating uranium I!Y centrifugation," Marinsky explained, referring to the code
names t bat were used. "'The
K.25 lab was involved in separation by tlie diffusion process." It was this process that
pro\led to be .t he most effective
method for isolating the fissionable material.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"Basically, the type of structures that
were dama~ were llhose tharwere built
prior to the time that building codes
required" them to be protected in ,case of
an earthquake, Mander explained.
"Generally you will find that these
bridges built prior to 1973 probably will
not perform too well." Maoder said that
the building code was changed in 1973 in.

what we call a soft story. Buildinp like
that do not peoorm very well," Pantelic
said. In tbe future, sbe· predicted that
"more attention will be paid in making
the first story as rigid as the other

stories."

· Damage u as bad as the' TV came1'as

reports do justice to the situation in San

of the pictures of fallen down apartment

"Those buildings that you have seen
are usually corner buildings," she said.
The shear resistance of such buildings is
much leas than if they are in the middle
of the block."
At the same time, Pantelic offers hope
for futllr!' earthquakes. If buildings were
bupt properly, she-said, tbey did survive.
~, have taken pictures of buildinjs on

aod tl\e other in~
"It shows that buildings can be built in
such a way that they resist earthquakes."
Because current code seems adequate
to protect buil(lings, old buildings must
be brought . up to today's standards,
Buckle explained. ~1 think it must be
done," he said. "That's a personal observation - it's going to be mandatory but
how do you pay for it? Does the owner
pay for it? Does the taxpayer?"

ut Cahlornia is not the only place
that needs retrofitting. Had that
quake bit Western New York, "with a
magnitude 6.9 earthquake, we y;&lt;OUid be
in very, very sad shape," Buckle said.
"Our bridges would be down, our
houses IJIOU!d be damaged, pipelines
would be ruptured and there would be a
lot of masonry on the streets of downtown Buffalo," he continued.
Mander agreed. ~The duration would
probably not be quite as long and it
probably would not have been quite as
strong but it potentially could' have been
very damaging.
~It is quite tikely that you would get
the superstructure of a house moving off
of its foundations and it is lik~y that you
would get spans of bridges falling down
on to tbe. ro~," Maoder said.
However, a 6.9 would have been

B

unlikely here. "'t 'I pouible- it~ . more
likely to be 5.9 - but even that would
wreak havoc in Western New Y orl&lt;
because the structures haven l been
designed to withstaod quakes,~ Buckle
said.
AU three called for ad.ditions' to local
building codes. ~I think building codes
- in New York State aod in tbe resi of .
tbe United States - should definitely
take earthquakes into account, • Pantelic
said.

M

ander said that in most buildings,
the costa would be negtigible to
earthquake-proof them. He said that
~earthquake hazard mitiption ineasures" (u Bucltle termed tltem), would
add perhapo one percent to the "structural costs of the buildings," which in tum
is only 30-40 percent of the total cost of a
building. ·
"The knee-jerk reaction," to strengthening the building code, M~ said,
~ould ·be qainst it because (people)
think it would cost a lot qfmoney, But it
wonl at all. It will require tying things
together morcin a bbuse, such as strapping floor joists to tbe foundation .
~For masonry structures, it's probably .
desirable that one. side be coated with a
reinforcing mesh aod plastered. For
bridges, it's desirable that you. use
something like 1- rubber bearina (instead
of steel) and make sure tiRt spans are all
tied together."
Long term, flantetic sees some real
problems d~ping .from this quake.
"A certain category of buildings is ~uite
vulnerable - the resideotial hotel" She
said that occupants of these hotels are
mostly lower inComo etaerfy people."
These people are oow with"'!' bOI!J,CS,
Pantelic said. lftbe iesideniial hotels are
rebuilt, "it could be that the cost of
repairing and retrofitting these buildings
will be sufficiently high so as to exclude
those residents," and leave them without
homes. In other words, the-earthquake's
damage remains long .ifter the shaking
stops.

down, you let it float and isolate it from
the ground. This te&lt;:bnique . is caUed
seismic isolation," Buckle explained to
the Reporter last spring. ~Buildings are
supported on a number of Kinnie isolators which act primarily as shock
absorbers."
Made from rubber reinforced with
horizontal steel plates (the plates make
sure that the isolators keep their shape
under the weight of a building), these
black and grey sandwiches also have lead
cores running through them vertically.
"TQese rubber bearings permit the
ground to move independently of the
building, but rubber alone is not a good
absorber and will not dampen this
motion quiclcly. What is also'Tequired is
a me&lt;:hanical device to absorb energy. To
date, the .most s_uccessful one uses a lead
eore." Buckle saki.

relative to their peer groups. Increasing

improving the quality of campus life, and
developing a unified UB medical center

The ongoing JAG controversy was
then debated. Professor of Ps)'l:hiatry
Norman Solkoff claimed th~ple's
decision not to uphold the Law School
ban was incongruous with a position of
morality since it encourages gay students
to lie about their. orientation." It's untenable for a significant

�It's big, re~earch-oriented
and student pride runs deep
By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN
Reporter Staff

ichigan St~te University
(MSU) 1s b1g. In fact, big
doesn~ even begin to describe a campus with some
42,695 students.
Think about that number: that .. equiv·
alent to one and a half UBs. And of the
almost 43,000, a whopping 34,830 were
undergrads (figures from faU of 1988).
However, despite its size, or perhaps
because of it, MSU manages to maintain
high levels of student morale and school
spirit.
In many respects, MSU iJ where UB
wants to be. It has prestige, an active
research program, a much vaunted
underpaduate curriculum, and a top
athletiC program. It iJ a highly respected
public institution with an academic history that includes membership in the
Association of American Universities
(AAU).
"We've got all the advantages of a
large institution without being overwhelming," said Ed Zabrusky, media
projects director for MSU's News
Bureau.
Like UB, MSU receives a large chunk
of state funds. "We don\ say statesupported, we say statc-assisted ,u
Zabrusliy explained. Unlike UB, MSU
and the other public schools in Michigan
have to lobby the state of Michigan individually for funds.
Also unlike UB, MSU is located on
one 5,239 acre campus, with over 3, 100
undeveloped acres, near Lansing, Michigan's capital. ln contrast. UB bas
approximately 1.350 acres total between
the Notth and South campuses.

M

.

Rcsean:b is a prime function of MSU.
Located on campus are .tbc. MSU.Department of Energy Plant Research

"We do qtiite a. bit of engineerio&amp; and
pbysi\'1 resc81'Cb,• Hawes aaid. "This ia a
research univenity. We do place an
emphasis on research here."
~S U also lays claim to havini the firSt
superconducti01 cyclotron, the "K500,"
.which began operation in 19g2: TbU
machine, and its newer and larger cousin, the "K1200," are being used by physicists to_better undentllJI!I basic panicles
and atomic-nuclei.

owever, rese&amp;J&lt;:h C. not the only
function of MSU. Many students
said thattbey chose MSU ovedts tradi"
tio!W rival, tbe Univenity of Michigan,
because they fell that MSU had tbe better undergraduate proaram.
Scbdol spirit is llroog at MSU. Ori!tn
and white, tbe school colon; prcdomi- ·
nate the&gt; landscape, bannen, and clothes.
A large part of MSU social life revolves
around athletics, with the campus erupting in parties and festivities centered
around home games.
Pride in the football team runs deep.
Usually, all the 76,000 seals in Spartan
Stadium, home of tbe Trojans, are fllled
by fanatic fans. In contrast, UB stadium
seats about 4,000 and Rich Stadium
(home of the BiUs) can hold just over
80,000.
,
TbU is the level of enthusiasm that UB
is striving for with its athletic program
upgrajle.
Student life is not necessarily perfcc:t
at MSU. Although they· have one thing
that UB C. hoping to acquire, a student
union, 5cveral students aaid that tb!:ir
union is not !S highly trafficked as it
•
should be.
Real ellate agents say there are only

�'On course' fqr excellence: Sample ou,lines progress
By ANN WHITCHER
Reporter Staff

T

he University's election to the
AAU (American Association of
Univeraities) and a $100 million
increase in sponsored grants
and contracu are among highlights of
the year, President StevCQ B. Sample
told the UB Council last week in his
· annual report.
Sample said he does not want undue
focus on ..external measures" such as the
AAU pick. Still these are reliable
signposts of quality and should be
"celebrated" accordingly.
"Election to the AAU is but one of
many indicators that we are on course in
our quest to ~orne one of this country's
r.nest public universities. These indicators
are not , in and of themselves,
academically substantive. Being uked to
JOin AAU does not mak~ UB a great
university; rather, our election to AAU is
t ndic ati v~

of our progress 'toward

academic exceUence," Sample said. "So
with other indicaton."
Sam ple spoke pridefully of the many

R ubm of the Depan ment of Phannaro logy and Therapeutics. Stephanie H.
f-'mcus, the medical school's first woman
~.: hair . will head the Depanment of
Ocrmatology .
In recruitment generally, UB was able
to bring in some of "the best and the
brightest" during the last year. Among
them are Charles 0 . Frake, formerly of
Stanford and a member of the National
Academ y of Sciences; Linda Hall, an
•nternationally-renowned scientist who
will head UB's Department of Biochemical Pharmacology; and Michael S.
Rozeff. an ouiSianding scholar from tbe

Uni versity of Iowa, also an AAU school.
The Uni versity also has made
··excellent progress" in attracting
minority faculty at both the juilior and
senior levels, Sample said .... For example,
Dr. Peter P. Ekeh from the Woodrow
Wilson Center for International Scholars
was appointed to professio nal rank in
Afriean-American Studies."
UB fa.:es a "tremendow; challenge" in
recruiting faculty over the next few
years, Sample said, as 'it will need to
replace t~mendous numbers of faculty
who will be retiring in the next decade.
Competition with other schools for topnotch prospecll will be tou&amp;!l 'and could
even get .. ruthless" in Some instances,
Sample told the council in his
extemporaneous remarks.

T

uming to undergraduate education,
Sample said the Underaraduate
College is the "living legacy" of the old
College of Arts and · Scien&lt;;,ea. Counes
like the UGC's "AmeriCill Pluralism,"
now bein11 piloted, have emefFd from "a
dynamic and intelkctually stimulating
dialogue," be said.
·
Sample reported that demand for
UB is up sharply, despite the decline in
the pool of 18- and 19-year-olds - the
sCH:alled traditional age students. Applica tions from transfer students, he said ,
have remained at the record ,...,, established last year.
As a result , Sample said, the
University has kept its status "as one of
the most academically competitive
public research universities in the United
S tates." Most of the regularly-&lt;:nrolled
st udents matriculating at UB in the fall
of 1989 had a composite score of well
over 1110 on the SAT, and most ranked
'"the top 13 percent oftheir high school
graduating classes.
Additionally , UB has expanded
enrollment and improved retention ' of
minority students, Sample said. "During
the 1988-l!9 academic year, enrollments
of both undergraduate and graduate
students who are members of underrepresented minorities reached an all-time
high.
"This ·ill!'rease was reflected b &gt;th in
the actual number of minority students
enrolled and in the percentage of these
students within the overall student
population. Nearly 200 underrepreoented
minority students have enrolled as
freshmen this fall through our regnlar

ad missions program, in addition to the
ap prox imately 120 underrepresented
minority students admitted through our
Education Opportunity Program (EOP)."
Total revenue expend.ed in 1988-89
through externally sponsored grants and
co ntracts awarded to full-time and aiTiliated facult y was over SIOO million,
Sample said, an increase of 35 percent
. over tbe last two r.sca1 years.
The dollar amount is particularly
impressive when viewed against the

"UB is well known
throughout many
parts of the world
as one of the finest
research universities
in the U.S."
backdrop of decreasing federal funds
available to researchers and escalating
competition among research universities
for such fund s."

A

mon11 the -big research coups this
year is a S3.4 million competitive
grant from the Veterans Administration
central office in Wuhiogton to establish
a Positron Emission Tomography (PEll
!milling Center. PET, Sample told tb[
~ouncil. "is the most sophisticated noninvuive imaging technology available to
the medical profession and represents a
major breakthrough in diagnosti c
medicine."
Sample singled out for spccial.Jention
UB's new $600,000 handcrafted Fisk
tracker action organ, recently installed in
Slee and awaiting its April inaugural
concert. He also said the Physician's
Offices on the South Campus have
nroved the University ·~c lo ser to
achieving another of our goals - that of
providing hig!Hjuality on..:ampus ca~
for patients of our medical faculty ."
The signing of a clinical affiliation
agreement between Roswell Park and
the medical school, Sample said , is an
efficient move for both institulions. It
promises to ""improve;_ patient care,
enhance our training ·programs. and
make Buffalo mo~ attractive to those

high-&lt;:aliber staff whom both UB and
Roswell Park wish to recruiL •
U B hu also distinguished itself in the
international arena, Sample said. During
his recent trip to South Asia, he was
reminded that "U B is well known and
very highly regarded throughou,t many
parts of the world, especially in Asia, as
one of the fmcst research universities in
the United States."
It s international programs ha ve
permitted UB "to maintain existing
programs and, indeed, to broaden our
international horiwns in an era of severe
budgetary constraints here at home."
Sample pointed to the SSOO,OOO grant
from the Indonesian Foundation for
Education Development to eatabiish an
English languige and pre-MBA training
center in Jakarta, and also cited the
plans to establish an educational center
in Taiwan.
The 1993 World University Games.
Sample said, will bring some 7,000
athletes to Buffalo, as well as tens of
thousands of spectators and gamesrelated personnel
_
"The outstanding athl~tic facilities on
our North Campus, as well as the ability
to h9use a majority of the athletes in the
Ellicott Complex, were key to Buffalo's
successful bid." .
Capital projects, Sample said, "will
enhance what is already one of the
nation's most modem campuses." These
. include the $40 million •Fioe Ans Center
and the $18 million Student Activities
Center, which will triple the size of the
current facility.
In addition, Phase I of the Natural
Sciences and Mathematics Complex will
be re~y for construction bid early next
year. This will provide office, laborato ry.
and research facilities for the Department
of Chemistry u weU u additional lecture
hall and classroom facilities .
By the end of the year, Sample said, an
architect will be selected to design a $54
million ~ch facility for the medical
school . It will be SO percent larger than
the newly-completed Cary-Farbe rS herman Addition. And the $6 million
retail complex being planned by the U B
Foundation will offer "a much-needed
campus town whe~ members of the
University community can shop, dine ,
and socialize." Groundbreaking for th is
facility will occur by Jan. I, Sample
said.

Soviet
studen
Mall trip gives
taste of America
By JEFFERY
Reporter Slalf

i. JACKSON

hat's the best way to introduce foreign visitors to the
United States? Take 'em to
Pizza Hut.
When IS Soviet students came to Buffalo through a program sponsored by the
U B Russiao Oub, instead of being
escorted to such landmarks as the ·
Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the
do wntown Theater District, the excbaoge
&gt;tudents were treated to a tour of Wegman's, the W.alden Galleria mall, ChiChi's, Pizza Hut restaurants, aod Niagara Falls.
What emerged from this hectic tour of
the city was a portrait of America that is ·
both positive aod upbeat, the Soviet students said.
'
Emily Tall, associate profe511or of Rus"an at the University, noted that the
1tinerary was designed" to emphasize
those tbillto about American life that
college stUdents experience on a weekly
or monthly basis. The American hosts
waoted the Soviet students to experience
ttrsthand such Ameiicao puti-., as
eating tacos and pizza and teaming bow
t o use coupon.s when shopping for
groceries.
·
The Soviets especially liked Wegman's. They were woverwhelmed and
co nfused" at the selection of consumer
goods offered, according to UB student
Denis Symington. Some aspects of
Wegman's were particularly alien to the
Soviet guests.
..They were amazed at the automatic
doors. were confused about what coupons and sales were, were impressed by
the selcetion of condoms and most of all
with "silly string'." said Symington.
.. Even the tank of tiye lobsters attracted
their attention. Some of the Russian students tried to touch and pick them up
and I had to tell them that they could be
bitten ." Symington added .

W

"What emerged from
this hectic tour · of the city was
portrait of America
that is both positive
and upbeat."

a

"You can lind anything you want
here," said Alexander Stcpurrin, an
excha nge st udent. He was most
impressed with the scenic beauty of
Western New York . .. There art no vivid
colors in the USSR and America is more
beautiful and ' picturesque." he added .

For Yuri Kutuzov. his most memorable experience of the weekend was with
the people of Buffalo. " Buffalo is a
friendly place and I will miss the good

friends I have made here," he said .

.N

early a11 of the s!viei students
expressed their appreciation for
their American hosts. Helen Morley, one
of the acting hosts, said the experience
was positive and beneficial. wwe rented
some movies to show the stud.e nts. They
really liked the mo~ie 'Twins " but not
Eddie Murphy's movie "Raw· - I don'
lhink they understood American slang."
Morley said.
"Our American hosts made us feel at
ease." added Danya Cberevko. She
pointed out tha.t. the experience shows
that "young people are the same every·.
where and that Americans and Russians
have more in common than we might
think ... Even before coming to America
as part of the exchange program, Alexei
Chekanov said that because of peres·
troika and glasnost "the perception of
America in the Soviet media is positive
and upbeat, "

Russian students look over an array ol
stereo equipment at a local mall .

•

The Soviet students are enrolled at the
Maurice Thorez Moscow State Institute
of F6reign Langu.agues and those
selected for the exchange program are
the best in their class. Of the IS st udents
currentl y involved. one-half .of them
have English as their first foreign lan·
guage while the remainder speak Porto·
guese. Other languages spoken include
Spanish and French .
The tour provided an opportunity for
the Soviet students to practice thei r English as well as make friends wit h American students their own age. Their Ameri·
can hosts have also benefitted and the
expe rience has bro ught the two groups ·
much closer together.
According to Tall. the exchange program has bee n in operation since the
mid - 1970s.

On Friday, Nov. 3 from 3 to S p.m.,

The UGC was conceived · by a 20member curriculum committee in 1986'
and is chatged with improving the
general education program for all
undergraduates, wilh particular attention
to the ftrst two years of instruction.
Since 1986, lhe UGC faculty, which
- includes some of the most dedicated aod
enthusiastic members of UB's senior
faculty, has made ·significant headway
toward achieving its goal of creating a
broad, well-balanced general ed~tion
core curriculum that provides for an indepth study oullicle of the academic
major. It inalsts on• coherence in lhe
selection of aeneraJ education courses by
undC&lt;Jnlduate student&amp;.
To date, the UGC faculty has
developed:
• A freshman seminar program that
prOvida amall, class/ seminar environments hf Which beginning stodents study

"The UGC is
charged with
improving the
general education
program for all
undergraduates with
particular attention
to the first two years
of instruction."
with senior faculty members . The
program has proved successful in helping
to ease. students' adjustment to the
University and to explore possibl~ major
disciplines. The course was instituted in .
1987.
• A comprehensive two-semester
course in world (not simply "Western")
civilizations offered from ~e perspective
of various disdpuoes such as anthrojx&gt;logy, archaeology, English, classics,

... 1

political science. and philosopll)'. The
course was· begun in 1988.
• A coune focusing on American
c ultu're and pluralism designed to
develop an intense intelleetual awareneu
of race, gender, ethnic, clau, . and•
religious experiences in the United
States. The course is being piloted this
semester.
Two other co urses are in the placining
stage:
• A six-course sequence of science
and mathematics for students D.ot
majorins in the sciences lhat will offer
them a meaningful encounter wit.ll and
analysis of, advanced scientific dcvelopmenll and methodology. It will feature
integrative courses including one ' that
will examine historical shifts in soieotific
paradi&amp;JDS and lhe critical efperimeDts
and debates that paved !he way for those
shifts.
·
• A collection of courses in the arts
and letters and the IOCiaJ
l.bal
will introduce students to tile _ .
and metb.odologies of tbele clilcipliaes
and wiD complement the con o1feria1r
in wodd civilization, Americ:8D plunlilm.
and the tciences.

Replacing animals fo·r research studies
is 'still in the developmental stage'
By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO
Publieauons Staff

lthougb alternatives to the we
·of live animals for research are
sometimes feasible, Jcientisu
.
overwhelmingly think that
animal use is essential for the aa:uracy of
much scientific research.
.
That was the consensus of speaken at
a work shop sponsored by the Laborato ry An imal Care Committee (which
ensures tha t research in vol viqg animaJs
meets fede ral and other gu idelines) and
the Animal Research Public Relations
Task Fo rce at UB.
The program. held Oc t. 18 in Butler
Aud itori um on the Sout h Campus, was
11.Hendcd by about 40 persons. many of
who m a re am mal rights activists. Most of

A

the a ud ie nce stayed until the discussion
ended at II p. m.

"The take-home message is we're still
m the developmental su ge with many of
the alternatives tha t we 're loo king at."
said Paul Kostynia k, associate professor
of pha rmacology and thera peutics.
An example of an experiment that
replaces the use of animals is one that
looks at the effects of the parathyroid
hormone on bones, said Rosemary
Dziak . associate professor of oral
biology.
When animals were used , the experimenll were ioconclwive. It seemed that
in the rtnt 30 minutes or so after animals
were given R,antthyroid hormone, there
was an initial decrease in calcium in the
blood , probably because the hormone
causes the bone to take in more calcium.
But the results were more pronounced in
some animals than in· others.
Using a cell culture rather than a
whole animal, the effect was more
pronounced .
"Look bow fast this blip occun,"
Dziak said, pointing out a dip in a graph.
" It occun within seconds. Trying to get
this kind of data from an animal is virtually impossible."
There are still problems using cells, she
noted. The researcher mwt make sure
be's usina cells that are appropriate to
tbe experiment and are free of
contamiilants.
On the Oip' aide, some studies can't he
performed without animals, according to
Stefan Colltn, research usociate profes-

sor or Diedic:ine.
For tn.lancc, cyclopbospbamiclc is an
important anti-&lt;:ancet'drug which bu no

a

effect on tumon in test tube. That's
becaule the drua mqat be convened by
liver enzymca to be dfcctive.
"So here you bave an example· where
in vilro ~ing
you . nowhere,"
Cohen aaid.
MJ thinlt that wbole animal studies.are
still _,- valid and at tbia point 1 don't
believe lhat we can entirely fqllace these

aeu

atudiea."

tion, but you must alread y know a system before you can build a model 'of it,
cmpbuiz.ed Anthony Auerbach. assistant profesaor in biophysical sciences.
"You have to lr.now a tremendous
am'ount about the sysUm before you
even begin to think about making a
mode ~ • Auerbach said. The researcher
· must be fairly cenain he knows aU of the
variables and not only how they interact,
but how quickly they interact.

A

good model should spawn research,
not replace it, he sajd. It's a tool
that can be used as an adjunct rather
than a replacement.

,

"There are still problems using cells.
The researcher ,
must make sure
he's using cells that
are free of
contaminants."
Elaine Hull, professor of psychology,
discwsed "Darwin IU," a computer
model of the human brain designed by
Get-aid Edelman of Roclr.efeUer University.
This model is a robot-lilr.e "creature"
that has one eye and a (our-jointed arm.
It can track objects with its eye, decide if
the object is bad, and , if it is, swat it
away. It makes these decisions based on
three main values: seeing is better than
not seeing, touching is better than not
touching, and bumpy, striped objects are
bad.
It is a computer that can "learn;" its
experiences allow connections to be
strengthened selectively, much a s
happens in the human brain, Hull
explained.
However, Darwin Ul, which is a
model of 700 neurons, uses one of the
largest computen on the cut coast, she
pointed out. Human brains have 30 billion to 100 billion neurons. Even a rat
bu several billion neurons in iiJ brain.
"It's mind-boglina to try to imagine
what it would take to simulate • more
complex sort of brain,• Hull aaid.
"We have to aak -wbctbcr uy computer mbdel that"' baaed on silicon chips
and wires and diJital Oip-Oop son of
information can ever model a brain that
consisiJ of so many biochemical ~
tions, which are largely analog rather
than diJital. The system in the brain is
very , very different than in the
computec."
John Krasney, profesaor of physiology, abo~ a computer simulalion of
the ·heart and' c:Uadation 1YJ1Cm tliat's

ier, quicker, and cheaper.
Still, computer modeling has drawbacks, be said. It's dry and non-liviPg.
"It doesn 'I bleed," he said. "It's devoid
of a se~ of reality." ·

A

notbcr drawback is that co mputer
models are invariant, while -the
response of humans and aniinals is quite
variable. "They don\ alway$ respond the
way the book says theY should, • Krasney
pqinte4 out.
Wbclhcr animals or hlliiWl&amp; are used
in physioiOJY, -.iDee M're tal1r.ing about
the study of living orpnisms, we must
study living orJanisma,• K.ruocy said.
" Physiology is learned in the laboratory,
not in lectures. .
•physiology ill the ahaence of a laboratory becomes an intellectually stupefying, dull and boring experience."
Ln the discuosion that followed the
talks, one member of the audience noted
that the resean:hen dido l mention the ·
animals' .welfare when discussing their
experime nts. He also charged that we
alread y know everything about the
huma n body from swdying cadaven, a
point that was refuted by the scientists.
He also suggested that U B should
become a leader in refusing to conduct
a nimaJ research until alternat ives can be
fo und.
If the price for that stance was the halting of progress in fighting disease, you 'd
be uking researchers to be derelict in
their duty, said Richard Hull, associate
professor of philoso phy, who was one of
the moderators.
One woman in the audience said that
animals haven 'I been used to teach surgeons in England since the turn of the
century, and that Tufts and Michigan
State don't use animals.
Kruney, who rea:ntly rett~rned from a
symposium in England, responded that
the English do indeed we animala. And,
be added, even if other American schools
don't we animals, it doesn't mean that
it's good teachina:
The wo~QD also said that she wu disappointed that, in his closing remarb,
Boris Albini, 'Professor of microbiology,
mentioned the rare inatances of viole11cc
that have been a~mmitted by 10111e
animal rights activisits.
Albini replied that animal rigbiJ activisiJ bring up lhF \Dfrequcnt and
extremely unusual instances of .W..
treatment of aDimab by scientista.

hospital, a morgue, and other
health related establishments.

By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN
Reponllf S1a«

here are skeletons on campus
and not just in anatomy
classes. Some frightening finds
have turned· up on the South
Campus over the years. Bones from no
less than four human beings have been
discovered.

T

here

and a concentration of

human beings, there are alao

people who die. Most people
get buried in a cemetary; poor

people, at that time, w.:re buried in a potter's fiel~ , a coUection of unmarked graves. Just
such a traet of land apparently
ellisted on part of what is now
the So~th Campus. This is the.
other part of UB's inheritance
from the county: land with
graves and no markers to
locate them.
It's unclear now where the
remains are. They may have
been sent to the Anthropology
Department, or maybe they
walked off unassisted.
Although maps of the origjnal poorhouse do not mention
a potter's fteld, its ellistence
may have been covered up.
Many people died at tbe poorhovse durin&amp; the cholera epidemica of the mid-nineteenth
centwy.

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

asbestos abatement program, for
instance, will cost about $50 million.
• SUNY needs an additional $2 millio n a year for graduate tuition waivers
during the next four years. "'Tuitio n
waivers are no t financia l aids, they arc
ind ucemen ts to draw the best 'brains to

• More full-time faculty will be
needed to teach upper~ivis ion co urses in

popular fields, so that graduates of twoyear schools can get their baccala ureate

degrees . Also apparent is the need to
replace up to 40 percent of the facult y by
2000, as these individuals age and retire .

• Salary and innat ionary increases for
the ge neral operations of state-operated

onccrn over six reported cases
of Hodgk.m 's d1sease , a rare
cancer of the immune s y s tem~
among U B psychology staffers
who worked in Building 4230 of the
Ridge Lea Campus from 1969 to 1983
has sparked an investigation by the New
York State Department of Health and
the Erie County Health Department.
Representatives from the State Hea lth
Department were at the U niversit y last
F riday to explain the prog ress o f their

...The number of cases 1s h1gher th a n

However. there were .. some: co mm onah+

Melius added.
The American Medica! AssOCI&amp;tl on
Encyclopedia of Medicine repons that
the annual incidence of Hodgkin 's di sease for tbc general U.S . population IS
only three eases per 100,000 people.
The number of cases reported at U H
IS proportionately much higher than
the U.S. statUtics. Melius said. cautionmg that the cluster of Hodgkin's disease
cases found in the Psychology Dcpanment may he attributed to coincidence .
In addition, he said, more: research is
needed before any flrm conclusions can

One survey that was conducted
between 1959 and 1973 suggests that
individuals who have siblinp affected by
Rod&amp;kin's disease have a sevenfold risk
or contracting the cancer.
However. this kind of research must
be interpreted with caution because of
methodological problems and inconsistent fiodinp, Melius emphasized .

One attendee, who had wo rked m the

Hodgkin's disease i.s more prevalent
among maJes than in females . However.
Melius pointed out that the ..disease is

in tbe UB cluster of cases. He: would not
elaborate for reasoM of confidentiality.
Adult whites are at a greater risk for
the disease than arc black adults, he said .
And it is more common in higher socioeconomic groups. Finally, Hodgkin 's
teods to be a malady of youth, with most
ca.sc:s occurring tn individuals between
the ages of 15 and 34 years.
Tbc lack of understanding about the

Report recommends policy on scientific misconduct
By JEFFERY L. JACKSON
Repon er Statt

nc1dents of SCientific masco nduct are
rare at UB . accordin g to a report
presented to the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee ( FSEC). But,
the report 'states, "the primary responsibility for preventing and dealing with
research misconduct rests with the

I

researchers themselves ....
The issue of academic miscondoct in
research bas invited debate at tbe

urn.

versity with the Faculty Senate, United
University Professions (UUP) and the
administration aU scrambling to put in
place a policy that conforms to congressional guidelines.
Federal policy on misconduct was outlined in a report issued by the Department of Health and Human Services in
Auguil. William Miller, chair "'f the
Fticulty Senate, said the Uniyenity iJ
"bound -by these federal statements."
lbe guidelines, he explained, serve as
a foundation for universities acrou the
country to put in place their owo policy
statements on misconduct and academic
diJbonesty.
Most recently, the repol1 entitled
"Stale University of New York at Buffalo Policy on Misconduct in Science"
was .put forth before the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee.
Written by Donald Rennie, vice provost for- research and graduate education, the report represents "the seventh
or eiJbtb 'draft over a five-year period."
Rennie added that the report '"was the
first draft after the final federal rule was
published."
He noted that the report iJ the result
"of many Constructive comments" from
the FSEC, the UUP, professional
groups, the Professional Staff Senate,

deans, and interested individuals .
"Hundreds of peo9le in the University
community have made contributions to
it," he said.
Briefly, the report, in addition to noting that incidents of scientifiC misconduct are rare, contains the f~owing policy statements: lbe U nivenity will
assume reaponsibility for "pn:ventibg,
detecting, and dealing witb misconduct;"
and privacY of those individuals who
report incidents br misconduct in good
faith will be protecled.
Also, the report states, those accused
of misconduct will be treated with due
.process and with ICIISitivity to both their
repU\&amp;Lions and vulnerabilities; and
investigations should avoid real or
apparent conflict&gt; of interest.

I

n cases of academic misconduct, it iJ
the responsibility of !be vice provost
for research and ,...eluate education to
CAI1}' an inquUy to COPtpleliOD, the
report states. Tbc vice provost rea:i&gt;U
in:itial reporU, either orally or in writing,
and then proceeda to review any allegations of misconduct with at ·least one
senior administrator or dean as weU as
any member of the University community relevant tAl the inquiry.
In cases when: alleged actions of misconduct are not verified by the evidence
submitted, the vice provost mnst notify
the provost in writlila of any initial
reports made and tbC reasons for reaching such a decision.
The inquiry is intended to "determine
as expeditiously as possible if an allegation deserves further formal investigation." All types of information can be
requested by the vice provost and
respondents (those alleged to bave
englgCC! in misconduct) are obliged to
cooperate by turning over any ioforma-

Lion and documents requested .
puce documents have bee)l reviewed,
the vice provost for gradua'te education
and resean:h has 60 days to submit a
written report to the provost and the
respondenta staling that an inquiry has
been launched.
The responsibility for determining
whether allegations require a formal
investigation rests with tbe provost's
office. U an investigation is deemed war-

"The report is the
result of many
constructive comments. Hundreds jn
the University have
made contributions."
ranted, it must be undertaken within 30
days after the inquiry is completed.
Throqhout the inquiry and i~~Ve.tiga­
tion, lbe respondents have the right to
comment on any allegations or findings
reached. AU penons involved have ' the
right to legal CO!'nsel.
Tbe investigation normally will last
120 days. If this deadline cannot he met,
a request for an extension must be submitted to the vice prbvost with a progress
report and the estimated time of
completion.
If no aUegations of misconduct are
substantiated, the provost must ensure.
that efforu are made to restore any damaged reputations and to protect those
persons who alleged misconduct in good
faith.

L

H

owever, if misconduct has occurred,
the president bas the responsibility
to notify aU sponsoring agencies and
research foundations of the findings of
the investigation and to determine an
"appropriate course of action n:gard_!ng
the diJposition of research funds," notify
any editors of journals and books in
which. the research results bave been published, and bring disciplinary pro.-1ings against tbe respondent following the
criteria tct out under Article 19 of the
United University Professions (UUP)
agreement.
Disciplinary action may inelude termination or alteration of employment.
However, Research Foundation employees, as Miller pointed out, are "not
covered by any bargaining agent," and
are therefore not part of the UUP.
OnCe the policy on mlsconduct is put
in place, the University must proVide ·
annual assurallllOI tbat it is complying
with the federal' guidelines. Tbe -earliest
po~ble date that Ultcan submit its policy for approval is Nov. 8; the latest iJ
Jan. I, '1990.
However, Rennie said the federal
government bas not yet provided the
Univenity with the necessary forms for
submit!ing its policy on academic misconduct. .He added that "without a form,
no assurance can he ftled."
lbe report n:p.....;,ts, aa:oniing to
Rennie, a "biJbly definite policy and not
just a Set of guidelines.• However, tbc
report bas yet to be tborouJbly investigated by either the FSEC or the UUP.
But .Robert Newman, an English professor who is also vice president of academic affairs for the UUP, said tbe union
has "not been included in the formulation process ..The FSEC has set up an ad hoc committee to study the report.

ducational services a.re especially
emph85iz.ed, says Parkinson. These
incl ude child sexual abuse prevention for
parents, preschoolen, and elementary-age
children, and workshops on menopause .
Adds Par kinson: "Not only are you
educating people, you're allowing them
(what ma y be) their firSt access to th e
health care system . For some of our
clients. u·s the1r only access. We're the
only health care providers that they see
.. For some of them. it allows them an
an onymi ty and a low-&lt;ost clinic to come
to and taJk abo ut what their plans arc for
pare nth ood and sex uality . It allows them
medical professionals to talk to and 1t '!&lt;l
afforda ble for them."
While there tS an aura of controversy
that surrounds Planned Parenthood .
Parkinson believes it's misplaced. "People do see Planned Parenthood u a C&lt;lDtroversial agency because we are prochoice, but we always emph85ize that if
we were able to prevent unwanted pregnancies ... then we could avoid much of
this (abortion) turmoil.
"Unfortunately, a Jot of attention is
being given to the abortion issue and
very little attention is-given to research of
better contraception methods. We see
abortion as a very private, very penooal
issue, not something to be controUcd by
government, or by the church, or any
legislative body.... It is private medical
history. It should never become public
knowledge."
This reveteiiClC for penooal choice and
privacy is characteristic of board
memben, itatea Parlrinaon. MWe on our
board have about 2S actnoe memben. I
guess that everyone on the board bas
their own penooal viewpoint oo the
issue of abortion. But all of them believe
that it's a very penooal choice. It is np to
a woman and her physician to malr.e that
decision. The decison part of it ahouldn'
be subject to government regulation."
Planned Parenthood is staffed by physicians, nurses, and nurse practitionen.

contents of the desk include "teaching materials.

conspicuous baseball, thrown by its owner as the

The "fuzzy pencil" on this desk was di;missed by
its owner as a relic of the seventies. The answer to
whether or not this is a typical scene is a curt
"yes." The red phone (which appears grey here)
"is tor calling George Bush in ~se of a nuclear

confessed that it was tor portable radios.

"Organized clutter," is the catch phrase employed
by this person to describe this desk. The owner
confidently adds that "I know where everything is."
The spider plant's name is Tim. "He's dying right
now," confessed Tim 's master "There's too much
smoke in the office."

This desk owner "files by piles." Each stack
represents a differeflt level of immediacy. from
"things to be done" to "things to throw away."
There are also stacks for things to re-ad in leisure
time and a stack of recent journals to be read. A
modest desk. An ashtra y was a somewhat
surprising element of th1s desktop

Nothi-;Jg short of a small miracle could render a
desk as clean as this one. Its owner confesses to
coming in on weekends to clean it. "There are no
drawers," added this neat person. ''That forces me
to deal with the ·papers." The painted soup can
pencil holder was a gift from a six-year-old
daughter.

At the moment of the photograph, this desk owner
contends that its entropic state was "D&amp;tter than
normal. This -is only two days accumulatipn." It
usually gets cleaned every week (or two). This ,
desk ·includes a section of the noor for items ..of _
very low importance." There are usu.ally two J)llirs

ease, inactivity and obesity are indisputa-ble risks. Type A behavior and psychosocial stress are risks that interact with
the overall risk profile. Elevated triglyccridcs, another form of circulating fat,
may be another risk -factor.
All of these risks can be reduced
except for the family history and the
inevitable addition of years. A major
o bjective of national health policy is to
reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease
and diminish the suffering and cost to
the American population.

rc you at risk of dew:loping cardiovascular .
diseaK? lfso, can you
do anything to attenuate/ reduce that risk?
Do you know that the
level of risk is evaluated according to SCK:alled risk £-.:ton
such as a high fat diet, sedentary lifestyle,
and obesity which may mate an individuaJ more prone to developing cardiovascular discaJe? Do you lr.now that .-.eo the
fact that wt: tive in a Western industrialIZed society makes us all at risk?
Your general individual risk for heart
d isease might be evaluated by completing
the rating scale at )eft to determine your
score. Use the score as a guide to ways of
changing your behavior.
As stated by tbe Surgeon General's
1988 Report on Nutrition &gt;.nd Health.
"Good health docs not alway&gt; come easily. It is the prod~ of complex interactions among tllvjiODIDCJital, behavioral
and genetic facton, some of which are
beyond personal control. However, therc
arc many way&gt; in wbicb cacb of us can
positively influence our health by the
choices ~ mate...
WHAT CAN I DO TO REDUCE
MY RISK?
Fran.t Cerny, Ph.D., a physiologist in
tbe Department of Pbyrical Therapy and
Exercise Sc:imce, provides the following
comments. Of the top ten cardiovaxular
rist f-.:ton, regular "Ppropr;.ae eun:Ue
can positively affect at lclllt llix. Adivity
a minimum of three dayo a -..oct for
approximately 30 miaulca adl day will
strengthen and deidop a pcall:r networlr. of- blood w:uek. "Thc8e r.:ton,
which many not redDce the riot of a
heart at18Ct, can deaeue the ICftrity of
an atta&lt;:k and minim.ize the damqc done
to the heart mUJCic. ·Replar curcise
al&amp;o moderates inczeuei in blood pressure or even reduc:a hypertension in
certain iodividnak.
Cerny further writes that
obesity and related f-.:ton
such as bigb cholesterol are
toown to be reduced by

exercise. "Creepin&amp;"
obesity, tbe slow

weight; can be reversed by increasing
energy O!'tput through ellen:ise. In addition, regular exercise promotes a healtb
men~ity that encourages changes to
health-promoting 'dietary habits. Regular exercise can mult-in direct increases
in tbe level oftbe blood High-Density Lipoprotein (HOJ..) which appears to offer a
protective effect against cardiovascular

disease.
Another potential positive effect of a
renewed interest in health is the possible
reduction or cessation of smolring which
is a primary cardiovascular disease risk
factor. And finally, ·Cerny reports that
research shows that exercise, either
directly or through the social aspect,
reduces stress in selected people.

CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND DIET
One of the most important steps in
taking charge and reducing your cardiovascular risk is to KNOW YOUR
NUMBERS! That is , know your
WEIGHT, BL00D CHOLESTEROL
and BLOOD PRESSURE. This, of
course. means a getting a medical examination before you embark on a rigorous diet or exercise regimen.
According to the Syrgeon General,
many of the health problems and leading
causes of death and disability in the U.S.
can be prevented or delayed by lifestyle
changes (personal ~avior). Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes
of death for which scientific evidence
exists associating its development with
diet .
The Surgeon General's Report on
Nutrition and Health co ncludes that
.. Overconsumption of certain dietary
components is now a major concern for

certain Americans. While many food factors are involved, chief among tbem is
tbe disproportionate consumption of
foods high in fats, often at tbe expense of
foods high in complex carbohydrates
and fiber that may be more conducive to
bealtb."
Soluble fiber in the diet is useful to
keep cholesterol levels down. Oat bran is
rec:eivina much attention now, but is not
the only form of soluble fiber available.
Fruits and vegetables are very good
sources.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
REDI,ICING RISK

•

Fats and cholesterol: Reduce consumption ofjat (especially saturated fat)
and cholesterol. Choose foods relatively
low in these substances, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grain foods, fish, poultry, lean meats, and· low-fat dairy products. Use food preparation methods
that add little or no fat .
• Enerv and weipt control: Achieve
and maintain a desirable body weight.,To
do so, choose a dietary pattern in which
energy (caloric) intake is consistent with
energy expenditure. To reduce energy
intake, limit consumption of foods relati vely high in calories, fats, and sugars,
and minimize alcohol consumption.
Increase energy expenditure tbrough
regular and sustai ned physical activity.
• Complex carbohydrates and fiber:
Increase consumption of whole grain
foods and cereal products. vegetables
(incl uding dried beans and peas), and
fruits.
• Sodium: Reduce intake oltsodium by
choosing foods relatively low in sodi um
and limiting the amount of salt added in
food preparation and at the table.
• Alcohol: To reduce the risk for chronic

disease, take alcohol only in moderation
(no more than two drinb a day), if at all.
Avoid driolring any alcohol before or
while driving, operating machinery, taking medications, or eogagina in any
other activity requiring judiment. Avoid
drinking alcohol while pregnant.
Many Americans seem aware that
sodium and cholesterol are dietary components with potentially adverse effects
relating to cardiovascular health. On tbe
other hand, fewer seem aware of the
problem of fat and, in particular, saturated fat (ani.mal and some tropical oils).
Nor do they seem aware of the many
sources of fat in our diet. Excess saturated fat contributes directly to increased
blood lipids as well as to •~cess calories.
What about your diet? How does it
rate compared to heart-healthy suggestions for fat and cholestero17 Use the following quiz formulati::d at the Northwest
Lipid Research Clinic to rate your diet.
Answer the questions and then add up
the numbers of your responses. Higher
scores indicate more fat and cholesterol. A score of 18 or 19 is a low fat, low
cholesterol diet.

WHERE CAN I GET HEtP?
The following resources are available
to assist you in malting heart-healthy
changes: Materials on diet and exercise
from the local American Heart Association; The American Heart Association
Cook Book from local book stores;
heart-healthy cooling classes offered
by various health care institutions in the
area; registered dietitians; and commercial weight groups which include ~ng
term change in eating habits, bChavior
modification and exercise as a part of
their programs.

A' l"oo rdanator of the proc rastination
workshop offe red Oct. 17 by the
Dt vts ton of Student Affatrs Umversity
Counseling Service. Umikcr exp lai ned
that this type of thinki ng ts ··a myth ...
" Human nat ure is to avoid th reatening
situ atio ns, .. she added . .. If we th ink everything rides on getti ng straight As, we wi ll
put off stud ying."
T he wo rkshop is designed to hel p st udents ide ntify the ir problems in gett ing
thm gs do ne, a nd to loo k closel y at how
and when they prosc rastinate.
'' It is devBSiating to your self-esteem if
you proc rastinate a nd you don't pull it
off," Umik.er remarked . .. Yo u criticizt
yourself in two ways: you feel that yo u
should have done beller and you realize
the fact that yb u nunked your exam."
U miler added that students often need
objective and solid evidence to be
inspired 10 change their habits. " When
poor grades 1.&lt;U us th at we have n\ got it
all together, the evidence is hard to
deny. "

G keepand mind arc ..
is

ood proverbs for proc rastinators to

in
He who hesitates
lost,"
"'He wb o hesitates lives to
hesitate again," said Umikcr. The Iauer
is particularly applicable to students.
" You have to learn self-management,"
she explained. The underlying principle
is to push y our work instead of letting it
push you; to be pro-active instead of
reactive."
TbiJ means organizing a realiitic schedule that fita your individual penonality
and study habita. Jn the workshop, student&amp; organize an "ideal schedule,"
whic h involves all faa:ta of the student's
life, including wort, study, and play.
"The ideal schedule iJ a bit naive; you
can't really work eight straight hours
then play your head off," Umiler noted.
" If you try to live by this, you will begin
to feellilce CindereUa, watching everyone

play wh1le yo u are working. You wil l feel I
deprived :·
Jhe idea here is to tailor the idea1
sc hedu le to confor m to reality. Taking
an to acco unt his o r her study ha bits and
in te rests, a stude nt can produce a sched·
ulc that allows for maximum pr~ u c­
tivi ty.
As an example, Umiker described a
hypothet ical student who co uld st udy
effectively for one hour befo re the effon
becomes cou nter productive. In the schedule, t he stude nt co ul d arrange to study
fo r unc ho ur. then stop ...even if \ hey were
on a roll," and give t hemselves so me kind
of reward .
.. It should be a reward t hat nunures as
many parts of you as possi ble," Umiker
said . .. Someth ing like exercise, music to
nunure t he spirit, or some ki nd of food
treat." Bubble baths are a n a ppealing
altern ative.

B

y re info rci ng a proC uctive stud y
sc hedule with heal thy rewards the
process will become a routine and maintain itself, according to Umiler. " You
have to stick to it, and quit even if you
are studying productively. There iJ an
idea from gestalt paychology that
incomplete tasks are motivating. •
Controlling the tendency to procrastinai.C iJ important not just for success in
college, Umiker said. "Students are not
here just to study in classes, they are
developing habita for the world of work.
Knowing ielf-managemenl will make it
more likely that you will move up the
career ladder."
The world of work, she pointed out ,
also bas deadlines. To put it bluntly,
there is no escape. Whether we like it or
not it's a sink or swim world. But have
hope. it iJ apparently not impossible to
overcome the urge to put things off.
14
WbeQ project JCCJDS lOQ intimidating and overwbelming, we will put off
doing it," Umiler pointed out. "But if we
look at a project as a oeries of steps and
focus on the part we are on, it feels much
more manageable."
Workshops sponsored by the University Counseling Service are led by d octoral studenta in counseling psychology
taught -by Umik~r . The co-faci litators of
the procrastination workshop were Jim
Catalano and Mike Friend.

'It is devastating to your self-esteem if
you procrastinate and you do(J_'t pull it
off. You feel that you shouk:j have done
better and you realize the· fact
that you flunked.'

the workshop, which is offered

said. If blowing the fmt set of tests

nothing is.

" People who go to the fmt workshop,
if they util ize the techniques of oelf-

later at finals; • abe added. "People-who
come to the ICCOod wortshop are -wly
paniclced by their performance on midterms, and are tryina to catch u~ and
clean up. •
So next time you put off some uraen!

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

A summary of the report

�Thil is a problem, especially becauae this

building will be "the

location of a ple.thon of special evenll," the report awes.
Further, the tuk fon:e urges "those
resPonsible for the decision to consider
the parkin&amp; requiremenll usociated with
this structure u an integral part of the
plan, and to accept personal responsibility for the debacle which will result if
that is not done. •

• The expamion of the Student A.ctivites Center will shift partina 'pressure
from the west to the east of the campw,
rather than =ating new need for parking. It is possible;' the report states, that
this could lead to a "perct!ived" problem.
One caveat tbe report mentions: construction aews and equipnxnt "'must not
be pennitted to impact any of the existing parking space or access thereto" during the expansion process.
• The new Faculty of Natural Sciences
and Mathematics building "will have a
serious impact on space requind for
parking. • However, the report notes that
there will be a new parking facility "to
the west of Hadley Road." It wu also
noted that construction of this parking
lot may be accelerated in order to service
the World University Games.
• Planning for the new Fine Arts Center, on rbe other band, bas shown .. an
incredible lack of common sense, .. with
no new parking facilities planned near it.

• ·The report says that any system of
identification and access control will be
aocompanied by difficulties. Complainu
about the difficulty of remembering to
switch lAgs from car to car are invalid,
the report states, because there are many
things in "modem life which require one
to remember to do something."
• Forging and duplication of ta&amp;S
should be penalized severely.
• Dormitory studenll should be issued
. color-coded hangta&amp;S allowing them to
park only in designated dorm lots.
• Hanj!tag fund• have been'IISed'responsibly. It is possi ble that the state may
eventually impose a park ing fee, the
report notes. If that happens. total fees
should not exceed $25 per person, the
report reco mmends.

problems. pnmarily when more than one

• Notices should be posted three days to
a week before the speciaJ events in lou

dedicated to the event. Furthermore,
there is ~no reason in principle"why fees

iWOiGiiill:

• •No regulations are effective if they
are not cuforeed."
• The report recommends that five public safety off~ttn be added for ticketing
purposes. TICketing should concentrate
ftnt on those who park in spaces
reserved for the handicapped and in fi re
lanes.
• The report nolel that then: are difficulties with NFTA parken on the South
Campus who spill out of the N FTA
"part and ride"lot on to Univenity-&lt;&gt;nly
loU.
• Enforcement should begin in the first
week of the semester with warnin&amp;S,
rather than tickets. in order to let studenll know when: !bey can and caonot
pact. This year, enfon:eincnt did not
begin until Sept_ 18.

_ _ . _ - S1511Mi1:
• A ono-pqe mmrnary of the regulationa should be distributed to the Univenity community.
• Signs should be large enough to read ,
located at tbe entrance to each lot,
placed lower and closer to the curbs for
easiC:r rcadin&amp; and be color..:oded to the

ban&amp;~&amp;~ coC.r. ·
• Ellicott should have a faculty~taff lot.
• Metered spaces and service vehicle
spaces ahould have the time of enfon:ement noted on a nearby sign. Driven of

T

he Law School faculty bas
President Sample's respect for ,
its intentions in bailning the JAG
Corps from campus, but the
University president says he ' cannot
legally uphold their view.
Sam.ple wu· respondlog to the report
of the t?arver committee, set up to study
hiS deciSIOD to permit·the JAG (Jud&amp;e
Advocate General) _Corps, the- leaal
branch of the military,- and the FBI to ·
recruit at the Law School despite the
school's contention that the two bodies
discriminate against prospective employ~
ees on the ~uis of sexual orientation;
handicap, and aae.
The committee is headed by Newton
Garver of Philosophy. The other committee members are Normali SolkoiT..of
Psychiatry and Carol Zemel of Art
History.
At the beginning qf this year, the Uw
School faculty aonouoc:ed that the JAG
Corps and the FBI would no longer be
allowed to recruit at the Law School.
The school eventually suspended its ban
against the FBI, pending further investigation. As for its position on the JAG
Corps, ~he school said it was not antimilitary, and that students who were
interested in the JAG could seek out ,
information on their own~
In May, President Sample issued a
statement in which he asked and answered three questions: The lint was,
who bad jurisdiction to bar outside
groups from using Univenity resources?
Secondly, is enforcement of- the law
faculty's resolution in compliance with
law? Finally, would enforcement be in
the best interests of the University?
Sample detennined that only be bad
the authority, that be could not legally
enforce the Law School faculty's resolution, and that it is wrong to exclude outsiders from using' campus facilities based
on a sense of pet'1onal morality. He
based his decision that be could not
legally restrict recruitment on opinion of
SUNY counsel.
Sample did encourage those who supported the law faculty resolution to
lobby their representatives, stating that
"each of us bas the right to encourage
our elected lawmaken to impose our
own penooal moral standards on society
at lar&amp;e through the mechanism of statutes and executive ordcn."
Finally, be no~ that "each of us

within the academy bas the right to
vigorously, but peacefully, protest the
presence on our campus of outsiders
whose behavior in the laraer society we
find to be morally offensive."

n OcL 4, Garver and Sample met
with the FIICulty Senate Executive
Committee(FSEC) to discuss the Garver
committee report.
"The report eDC!orses the president's
statement on a number of issiiCI," Garver
$Aid, The committee, he said, found that
the pJ:Ciident did have the authority in
this matter, that the committee aJlProved
of the president'l endonement of free
speech and clemoDIIratlons concerning
his decision, and that Sample-was correct
in sayini that penOnal views should not ·
be the basis for Univenity policy . .

"For7ne to reject
Levine's legal
advice, I would ha.ve
to be convinced
beyond any doubt
he was incorrect."
- STEVEN B. SAMPLE
However, Garver said "the committee
is critical of tbe president in a number of
places wl!ere the document shows disdain for fiiCulty mcml!en. The committee is not implying that it was the intention of the president to show disdain for
the faculty but the document does so in a
number of ways."
The report says in essence, that the
president disregarded the opinions of
Law School faculty memben, especially
a committee made up of law professors
Thomas Headrick, Barry Boyer, and
Isabel Mareus. The three had compiled a
dossier that reaches conclusions opposite
tbose .of the president.
The report states that although the
president does have the legal power to
enforce or not enforce the Law School's
ban, traditionally, that power has been
delegated to the fiiCulty.
The Law School fiiCulty have tra4itionally "under well-established and highly
democratic procedures, made the decisions without interference from the fifth
floor of Capen. The na~ow legalism of

Nancy Tobin assumes post

the President 'I statement is a v ote of 'no
confidence' in his colleagues," the report
goes on.
The report concedes that although the
policy of the JAG is not illegal, the Law
School resolution is al~o not illegal. But
it does note that the Law School's resolution is in line with a recent American Bar
Association (ABA) policy statement that
lawyers should oppose discrimination
against homosexuals.

His opinion was shaped in larF part
by legal experts outside the Law School,
Saoiple said. "When you are clealiog with
a legal question as president of the University, there is a penon you m.ul tum

Sanford Levine.
"What that means is, that if l 'uueeking legal advice I must sed: his first and I

be report then notes that law schools
at 21 private and public institutions
in this country, "among them Columbia,
Harvard, Yale, Stanford, the Uoivenity
of Minnesota, (and) Ohio State University have (enacted a similar antidiscrimination policy), with no ensuing
litigation or withdrawal -of mil itary fund ing support."
The report praises Sample for stating
that students have the right to peacefully
express their \'iewt ":n.i&amp; is an.imwrt!"'t
principle of long standing, and we welcome President Sample 's vigorous
reaiflflllatibn."
The report closes with one recommendation. "We believe that while continuing to protect free access and free speech,
the president .must make clear that no
acts of prejudicial discrimination by
anyone will ever have a legitimate place
on li!is campus."
Sample addressed the FSEC, stating
that "the part of the report that caused
the !Jeatest concern on my part was the
impression that the committee had that
the report conveyed 'a sense of disdain
for faculty colleagues. Let_ me tell you
what I was trying -to convey in !bat

He said that the decision "from my
perspective , was the most timeconsuming issue, the most researched
political issue that I have been involved
in in my 18 years as a full-time administrator." He said he wrote his statement
only after meeting .wiih all of the people
who wished to voice an opinion and
reading ail of the involved documents.
Sample then noted that "the vast
majority of people )Who spoke to me on
this issue who are proponents wantt:&lt;l me
to enforce i~ (the ban) on moral and ethical grounds, rather than legal grounds.
• A person in my position niight very

ample said he and · Levine spent a
amount of time clisc:usainJ the
issue. " If I tum to Levine rather than
faculty in the Law School, it does not
demonstrate disdain for faculty colleagues at the Law School
" For mer to reject Levine's legal adyice,
I would have to be convinced beyond
any doubt that be was incorrect."
Levine's final advice was to suspend the
Law School's resolution , Sample
explained.
Sample wu asked by Dennis Malooe
of Electrical and Computer Engineering
to address the issue of other law schools
banning the JAG.
"The majority of law schoob in this
country do not prohibit recruiten on the
basis of their discriminating qainst sexual orientation," Sample responded.

si:a

The Univenity of Califo(llia law
schools did at one point bave a
recruitment restriction, but they, t ,
have removed their restriction, the p •dent pointed out. "Having written my
opinion, I have sublequenUy learned
that the

resc:iss.ion . bave been for many of the
same reasons as l 'lisled."
Furthennore, Sample said ·UB is
bound by New York State Law and judicial opinions and that as a pubtic iriStitution, it could not restrict the JAG. Sample cited a decision in Undn 11 el a/. v.
City of New Yorlc that said the mayor of
New York could not apply internal
"governing policies" concerning this kind
of discrimination to outside bodies.
Sample concluded that "the law faculty

questions I had to answer were what

�Conference putS .sPotlight

on biases · in· U.S. 'teaChing
By ED KIEGLE
Reporter StaH

ias in teacbing. How do you
spot it, how do you see it?
Participadts in the 8th
annual Conference on teacbing
quality eumined book lists and course
tis\J as they addressed these questions.
"Dialogizing U.S. culture" was the central theme of the Conference held Oct. 6
at the Center for Tomorrow.
The keynote ~peaker, Juan BruceNovoa of the Univenity of California at
Irvine, alerted participants to the conscio us and unco nscious biases that may
be present in their teaching, specifically
those reflected by the selection of course
materials.
In his introduction, University Provost William Greiner mentioned the
Undergraduate College's recently created
course in American Pluralism, saying
that an appreciation of the pluralism in
American society is ""a matter of national
survival."
"There has been debate in recent years
over what comprises the •American
ca non,' .. Novoa said .... It is not just literature , it is the entire culcuraJ production
of the country. And the guideposts of
(that) production arc literature and
history."
Novoa stressed the importance of
defining this "canon." "The sad fact is
that the majority of U.S. citizens have
had one survey of American history," he
said .
An example of a possible book tist for
a class in American culture Wu passed
out, and Novoa asked the audience to
critique it and to contribute to the
attempt to find the biases that might be
present_ This "Outline History of the
United States" covered events from 1492
to the beginning of the 20th century.
At first glance, the list appeared to be

B

run-of-the-mill. But participan~ quickly
notioed a tendency to stress bisJorical
events in tbe northeastern part of the
country, and to present minority or ethnic
history from an Aoglo-Saxon point of

vlcw.
"This is what is in anthologies as a
table of contents," Novoa explained. "A
table of contents must include certain
author1 before a professor will even
tbink of.ordering it for a class."
"Emily Diclcinson is not included on
this list," a participant from SUNY at
Brockport observed . "When she is
included, we seem to remember 'I am
nobody! Who are you,' but forget 'My
Life Has Stood - a Loaded Gun_' "

"The sad fact is that
the majority of
citizens have
had one survey
of American history."

u.s_

-JUAN BRUCE-NOVOA

N

ovoa observed that mos;t teachers
surveyed said' "there wasn' enough
time to cover Dickinson after covering
Walt Whitman."
The most obvious failure of the book
list, participants observed, was the

absence of ..an economic or demographic
perspective." Novoa called this "an occurate criticisJD of bow history is taught in

this country."
The importance of clarifying the biases

present in the accepted canon is stressed
by the fact that Te&gt;tu and California
have the policy of "state adoption,"

Novoa ' not&amp;&lt;!. This me.,.; that biatory
texts must be approved by the state
government before t~y are accepted for
use in tbe.classroom.
" In Texas, a history book cannot mention religion, unmarried pregnant
women, or witchcraft," he said ... In CaJj.
fomia, they may allow these things in,
but in literature they are almost of the
same mind."
To underscore the unconscious nature
of bias in choosing a cumculum, Novoa
passed out a second c:Ount tist, this time
from a "Hispanic point of view."
Stressing the significance of exploration and dls9&gt;vory on the part of the
Spanish explorers and d~mphuizing
those of the English provided a very different image of American biatory. Novoa
went so far u to suuest that the phrase
"discovery of the New World" was
biased ip two ways:'it was only a "oew
world" to the European colonists, and it
was not discovered but encountered."

Moreover, be contended, a more accurate title for "Christopher Columbus"
would be "Cbristdbal Coldn_" Subtle
changes in the presentation of biatorieal
facts question the "angl.icizinK' of hiatorical events, occording to Novoa_

ntroducing alternative perspeetives to
accepted.hiatorieal events creates what
.Novoa refers to as "dialogue." Thus the
'dialogizing' of American culture would
involve "a change in paradigms," be said,
"an appreciaiion of the development of
ot~ groups besides the Aogll&gt;-SaxOJU."

of the Faculty . Senate committee on

of the conference, observed that the conference was stimulati~ and provocative.

David Lytle, senior
offiCer for
Environmental Health and-Safety at UB,
says the syndrome ariaea as a reauh of
lhC presence of various nalllral and manmade pollutanu in the workplace.·

What can you do
when the workplace makes you ill?

trainin&amp;

"Some people bear the word asbeatoo
and they become very fearful But they
should know the difference between the
terms friable asbestos and bound
asbestos.
"Friable asbestos is easily crumbled by
the pressure of one band. This 1tiod of
asbestos releases ita fiben into the air
and it is then dangeyoua because these
fiben can enter the lungs," aaid Lytle.
On the otber band, bound asbestos is not
usually threatening because it ·docs not
generally release iu fiben into the air, be
added.
The Office of Environmental Health
and Safety also cites new furniture
and othtt wood products as potential
sources of formaldehyde in tbe workplace and at home. The release of this
colorless au decreases .. the wood ages.
Exposure to formaldehyde can be
reduced through good ventilation and by
us ina an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
Another contaminant tbat l many
people are currently concemed7.bout is
radon gas. As a product of the
radi~ive decay of radium, this au
riKa to the eanh's surface and enten
homes and buildings through cracked or
opened foundations. Bi&amp;h exposure to
radon gas increases the riU: of luna

Exposure to these contaminants
relates to the efficiency of tbe ventilation
system in the building, types of
furnishings and construction materials,
and handling procedures of equipment
and chemicals, be noted.
Lytle and industrial hygienist Leonard
Borzynski will be i:ondu,ting a
workshop on •Health Concerns in the
Office" on Oet. 16, from 6 to 7 p.m., in
room 211A Student Activities CenteT.
Their presentation is pan of the "Life
Workshop" series sponsored by tbe
Division of Student Affairs, the
Undergraduate Student Association, the
Millard Fillmore College Student
Association, and the Alumni Association.
"
In the workshop Lytle will focus on
indoor air quality, ventilation, aDd
counes of action. In addition, be will
briefly discuss problems associated with
video display terminals (VDTs}, injury
prevention exercises. and home radon
detection.
In spite of increased concern over
indoor air quality in the office over the
last few years, a precise definition of
"sick building syndrome" is not easily
appUed in all situations, said Lytle.
"There are no rules or regulations that
say if you have so much of a
contaminant in tbe air it is bad for you."
However, the general rule that is used
as a warning bell for the possible
existence of the syndrome, said Lytle, is
when ~0 percent of the occupanu of a
building experience acute discomfort
that disappears when they leave the
premises."
-sick building syndrome" is usually
found in buildings that were built with
enet:K)I conservation in mind. In many
cues, the deaigna of theoe buildings do not
take into account the unique ventilation
needs that go along with sealing
windows, aaid Lytle. He polnu out that
this type of conatruction was prevalent
during the 1970..
FJ.Jlding the cause of "sick building
syndrome" can be costly and it can take
a long time. "Every building ~different
and there are sometimes multiple causes,
as well as tile fact that individuals
diffeTCntially perceive the effects of
various contaminants," he said.
Contaminants that have the potential
to affect indoor air quality and bealth
include J!OIIutants frwn natural sources

radon.
Products of combustion aucb as
carbon monoxide may also contribute to
the syndrome. Carbon monoxide
emitted from car exhausts, tobacco
smoke, and improperly functioning
furnaces and atovea impairs the body's
ability to utiliz.e oxygen.

tber contaminanu such as formaldehyde, asbestos, paints, cleaners,
and inaecticidea also are of great
concern.

In order to remedy "sick building
syndrome," people must be aware of
their work environmenu, said Lytle.
Additionally, the public must be given
accurate .information about the dangeys
of various sources of pollution.
Lytle points to the case of asbestos as
a classic example where individuals do
not always get the facts right.because the
reports are not always clear with regard to
the kind of material and iu threat to
public bealth.

.. Radon concentrations can be
m~nitored'with home detecton . But care
must be taken in order to get accurate
measures," said Lytle. "In the workshop
1 try to inform people about the steps
in volved in using radon detectors. Just
buying a detector and placing it
anywhere is not a good idea."
Although there are no clear guidelines
on how to reduce the concentration of
radol). Lytle states tharcareful planning
with the help of experts can reduce one's ·
exposure to the gas.
What can people do to reduce the risk
of "Jick building syndrome" In the office
and bow can they enhance the quality of
air within their homes?
Lytle believes that people need to be in
ton&lt;:h with both their senses and their
responses. In addition, in the offu,
there must be open lines of commonication among employees, and managemmt
must take an activr-role in implementing
preventive measures to enhance indoor
air quality.
If enough people continually feel
better · when tbey leave a particular
environment, then there is good reason
to believe that there may be a problem
that is related to air quality.
"Talk to your colleagues, tell your
supervisors, and give our ofiWe a call
if you suspect a problem," aaid Lytle. 0

'Glass ceiling' restricts women phy$iCians, Wallis says
By WENDY BROWN
Reporter S1aft

" I t is time to make medici.Q.e a "bigeoder" profession -. not o~ly in
·
body count, but also '" sptnt."
The woman detivering this message was Ula Amdu.-.ka Wallis, M.D.,
F.A.C.P., president of the American
Medical Women's Association (AMWA),
founder of the National Council of
Women in Medicine, and c111sader for
the rights of women physicians and
patienu.
Wallis was here Oct. 6 to speak at a
dinner meeting of the Women Physicians'
Association, the local chapter of the
AMWA. She also spoke to medical students and physicians on osteoporosis in a
lecture sponsored by the UB student
chapter of the AMWA.
She discussed the "glass ceiling" phenomenon. where women are able to see
men being promoted while 11\0re competent women are left behind. "We only
become aware of it when we bump our
heads against it," Wallis said.
Wallis' convictions on the changing
face of medicine were emphasized
throughout the evening. Noting that for
centuries medicine has been dominated
by men, she pointed to the progress
made . Yet Wallis feels that women in
medicine must still struggle, saytng they
still have a long way to go if only four
out of J I medical st udents are women
and it takes them twice as long to climb
each step of the academic ladder, or if
women physicians still only earn 60 per ~
cent of what their male counterparts
cam.
Wallis \s clinical professor of medicine
a.t CorneJJ UniVCI'Iily MedicaJ CoUese
and a fellow of the American College of
Physicians. Born in Poland, she served in
the Polish underground before emigrafing to the U.S., where she graduated
from Barnard College and the Col umbia
University College of Physicians and
Surgeons.
Her prestigious career has centered on
her involvement in the AMWA. In 1974,
Wallis was elected president of Branch
14 of AMWA, New York City. She says
the turning point came for her in 19TI
when AMW A organized a leade.-.hip
workshop in Denver. There, under the
tutelage of the tites of Dr. Marlys Witte,
Dr. Eva Schindler Reiman, and Dr.
Mary Roth Walsh, Wallis learned the

history of women in medicine.
" We were so pro'!'~ to. be the inherito.-.
of the banda of Eliubeth and Emily
Blaclcwell, of Mary Putnam Jacoby, and
of Bertha Van Hoosen. AMWA taught
us to be proud of our heritage," she aaid.

Waltia returned toNewYori&lt;City and
presented the concept of putting togetlJCr
a workshop. The result wu the New
York State, New Jersey, and Connecticut
branches of AM W A consolidating to
bold the fmt fe8ional conference, a bu~
SUCCCS$.

B

ut the Denver workshop was not
only a history lesaon. The main
interest was in developing leadership
·skills in women physicians, and they
were taught bow to baadle put-downs,
bow to dress, bow to participate in medical decisions, and bow to be assertive
without being aggressh;,.
"Prior to this," said Wallis, "women
were complainina that they were being
abused and unappreciated (u professionals). They taught women how to
handle it."

"It was obvious that these were issues
that lay heavily on people's hearts and
minds," she commented.
·
In 1979, u a result of the success oft he
conference, Wallis formed the National
Council on Wo~n in Medicine. This is
an educational group whose goal is to
improve the trcument of women
patients, and to achieve the overall
improvement of women's health through
the education of both doctors· and
patients, sbe noted. Having assuined the
role of advocate, the National Council

"There is no reason
to listen nervously
to the ticking of
your biological clock.
You should be.ible.to

creation of day .care facilities attached to
teaching hospitals.
"There is no reason to listen DCf'ioualy
to the ticl&lt;.ing of your biological clock,"
she told ber audience. "You should I!"
able to have it all and enjoy i1 all"
Wallis looks forward to a day when
medicine "will not be biased," but will
,accurately reflect a women's bcalth
needs. She feels that developing committees. on women's concerns is one path.
Another is the presence of AMW A in
_Washington, where the group lobbies as
the only representative of wo~n physicians in the capital ""Still, Wallis maintains that tbey are not in competition
with the American Medical Aasoc:iation,
saying that their purposes are diffesent.
"We want to destroy tbe glus ceiling,
let the freab air in, aod the sky will be the
timit."

.the secret
·of insu.linWillsky irivestigating
vanadium; .compound
is insulin imitator .
By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN
Repon"'Sta"

oaulin can be used to ueat diabetes,
but how does it work? UB scientists
are trying to unloclr. that secret by
studying a compound called
vanadate.
To many researchers' surprise, vana·
date, an oxygen-vanadium anion, has
been shown to mimic insulin's actiob.s
both in cell5 and in diabetic rats. Insulin
" a hormone that causes body cell5 to
talr.e in glucose (a sugar) for energy production and storage.
"When you have something that everyone describes as insulin mimetic, it naturally leads you to eumine diabetes,"
explained Gail Willslr.y, usociate pro~
sor of biochemistry at UB.
Willsky recently received a grant fro m
the American Diabetes Association to
invesli&amp;ate vanadium's properties as an
insulin imitator, yet her field of research
iS' rlo't lfi~beti:S.'
.. I'm a vanadium person, ·· she
explained. "I'm using the diabetes, in a
sense, to understand bow the vanadium
compounds alTect metabolism."
The similarity between vanadium's
aetiooa and insulin 'I came as a surprise
to medical researchers.
"They noticed in ceU culture systems
that vanadate had an insulin mimetic
activity, such as stimulating glucose
transport," WiU.ky said.
EventuaUy, vanadate was tried· in
animal systems. "It wasnl until it was
.realized that it had a lot of multiple hor-

monc effects that it wu tried in diabetic
rats."
· Insulin must be injected, while vanadium can he ingested orally. Will vanadate ever supplant insulin? Not likely,
Willslr.y aid.
"I don l envision this in any way
n:placing insulin. Since insulin is the
body'l natucal answer to diabetes, it is
the drug of choice."
Vanadate might be used to treat dia-

belies who don' respond to insulin ·
tn:atments, but· that would be many
yean down the road.
"My effortS are focused on this very
basic science, the result of which could
be used In a clinical setting," Wi!Jslr.y
said.

T

he vanadium compounds may cause
stomach problema and may malr.e
people who are hypertensive (prone to
high blood _prenure) even more
hypertensive. 4 •
"We're a long way from being able to
predict how a diabetic would react to this
drug," Willsky said. "1 think its higher
potential is, if you can n:aUy undentaod
how insulin works, you might be able to
eliminate diabetes some other way."
Willsky said that she is looking closely
at bow vanadium alleviates cardiac
symptoms of~ in rats.
"The heart, life kidney, and the eye are
the - ·or ~ tissues of diabetes,"
Willsky said. "I'm working in the heart
with Robert J. Mentzer ·(professor of
surgery and physiology).

Gail Willsky is studying vanadium with
an American Diabeles Association grant
"With James Lohr (assistant professor
of medicine) and Margaret Acara (usociatc professor of pharmacology and therapeutics), we're al5o studying how Vlna·
dium treatment alleviates .ud ney
symptoms associated with diabetes."
Currently, no drug company is inveatigatins "anadium as an 1osutin substitute "due to the fact that it is so expensive" to meet Federal Drua Administration (FDA) guidelines for drug appro~
Willslr.y said.
The vanadium structun: is so simple
that they don\ see how they can maintain their rights to it after they've gone
for FDA approval. That's what I was
told by research and development people
in the drug companies." As a result,
Willslr.y said the drug companies are
afraid they would not be able to n:coup
their research and development expetl!li·
tures: However, there are companies that
are looking at vanadium--as a tool to '
investigate insulin's activity, she said. a

Innovative
projects win
$8,000 awards
By WENDY BROWN
Reporter StaH

T

he results are in .
Will the nine recipients of this. year's
Lilly fellowships
please step forward?
The Lilly Endowment
Teaching Fellows Program is
"designed to encourage
teaching innovations made
by non-tenured faculty , "
according to Norman Solkoff, professor of psychiatry
and director of the Office of
Teaching Effectiveness
(OTE). The prize is an $8,000
award that enables the
winners to develop new
courses, revise existing ones,
and create or collect new
teaching materials.
UB joins the University of
Alabama, the University of
Pennsylvania, the University
of Illinois, the University of
Maryland, Johns Hopkins
Universily, Ohio State University, and RIT as this
year's participants. This
year's fellowships are the last
of a three-year series funded
by the Lilly Foundation,
headquartered in Indianapolis. The OTE will seek. University funding for next
year's series.
Each -year, said Solkoff,
there . are about 30 to 35
applicants for the fellowships. Their proposals are
reviewed by a co~ttee that
is as diverse as the; discipline
the candidates represent, and
the projeas they submit.
The 1989 winners arid their
projects are:.

Michelle Bunn
Ph.D, University of North
Carolina
·
Assistant Professor
Marketing
Bunn will develop the "CourSe
Module for Business Research
Skills," a self-paced learning
program designed to teach
students basic business research. Bunn contrasted the
program with common market
research that uses surveys
and polls. "It involves using
secondary sources - library
research for business - and
finding data sources that
exist. The problem is that no
one teaches students how to
do that."
Bunn·s solution is a selfpaced booklet that guides the
student through the library
on an assigned industry analysis. The program in research
strategy is beins implemented
by Bunn in an industrial
marketing counc. "It's learning the library with a purposc,"said Bunn. "My MBAs
love it. I'm pretty excited
about it."'

to prepare computer software

rather than in workbooks,
the advanta&amp;e being tbal the
computer corrects tbc bornewort as the student docs it,

Sociology
The revision of Sociology
321 , "Race and Ethnic Relations," is the project being
undertaken by Moore. Students learn about current
racial and ethnic issues by
separating into small problem-solving groups, afterward discussing student solutions and "theoretical concepts
and congressional bills that
add..,.. !be same problems."
Moore has also compiled a
reader on recent demographic and political trends of
racial and ethnic minorities.
and a coUection of video-,taped documc~taries on
racial issues that are used as
part of a visual aid packet.

The · models that will be
used are those that Taute is

buililing for the demonstration of color principles, and
the color theory educational
software that sbc is developing for the Macintosh computer.

"This," she noted, "is so

The·Mystery· of

Old Fort Niagara

Computer mapping uncovers the past,
revealing sites of 80 buildings

enlarged or reduced 31 historical maps of the ron from 1726
to 1958 to a standard size of II
x 17 ·The maps varied from 2
mchcs to 4 feet, Scott adds.
Usmg a computer, McClay
then co nverted into a digital
format. certain features, such
as the cornen of buildings and
walls. of the 3 1 historical maps
and a 1988 map of thi fort
produced by Stuan Scott.
Beginning with the l 988
map and the most recent historical map from 1958, the
geographers used the co mputer
to overlay the maps. Although
the maps-bad been brought to
the same scale, they still were
slightly skewed, Patricia Scott
says. McClay correl~ted all the
existing buildings on the 1958·
map l"i~ those on the 1988
map. Once all tbes&lt;: items weno
co rrelated, tbe computer adjusted the buildings into their
exact loactions on the 1988
map.

Using a complicated statistical methodology, tbe computer
also adjusted buildingsJhat no
longer exist and whose locations researchen were unsure
of, into logical positions based
on the existing buildings.

were written by solotlie3 at the
fort. Patricia Scott's ai-cbaeological koowled&amp;C of the fort
was invaluablci in pinpointing

sing a computer to manipulate historical maps, UB geographers have located more than 80 buildings that were
within the walls of Old Fort Niagara during its 263-year
history.
Working with archaeologists at the fort, the geographers
have used a technique called computer mapping to pinpoint
help them analyze
the buildings. Archaeologists say this
artifacts that already have been unearthed at the fort, design
future research projects, interpret land use, and build
models of the fort.
·
Old Fort Niagara is located north of Niagara Falls, N.Y.,
at the point where the Niagara River flows into Lake
Ontario.

Patricia Kay Scott. assistant
director of an:luoeology·for Old
Fort Niopra, stresses that the
project was _a auccaa because
an:luoeologiatl provided vital
historical and an:luoeologil:al
data to help the geognpben as
they tued the computer to
work with the historical maps.

Although the to1&gt;9grapby of
tbe fort is weU-documented,
the archaeologists had been

unable to use the hundreds of
available maps to trace the
evolution of the site over time
because of the varying accnnocy and scale of the maps,
explains Patricia Scott.

his own Gossamer, no, Gabardine, Albatross from the Bowery to
Washington Heights, if he could soar, wheel, and swoop from the
Lower East Side to the Cloisters, he might be able to mili some
sense of this city of dreams which his grandfather had chosen for
himself and his children and his children's children as his
homeland.
He could go to the top of the Empire State Building and WatCh
the ships. bearing new immigrants, steaming into .New Vorl&lt;
Harl&gt;or, and, when he felt empathetic he could raise his pinioned,
Polyester wings and fly down to circle above their ships. He could
circle aboye them until they docked. and then he rould rise and

He could'head down the column of heavy air into-the swirling
currents of Houston and Chty!tie Stnets and, when he saw a
phalarut of~ and Chinese pennants, he could rise again
and bead North, the inevitable progress of those Ellis Island
families. Larry Mann, n~Viuuvius, liljbltnuda in Synthetics. could
recreate the past and rise abOve it if only. . .if only . . .if only he

If he didn't have such a fear of the venical, be could relive ,the

JOURNEYING
We entrred the tunnel without knowing.
We were passengers,
it was where the train was he.ading.
For three years now we have been travelling in the dark,
listening to the sounds the wheds make on the iron rails.

In writing therr's tension - or.r~g degrees of tension. I (&lt;e,p
a jour1\al and what I write in il'Frather loose. rve written some
6aion (and have, inevitably, somr ambition for a novel), but it
_ . thr important thing is to ketp the prost moving and not lrt
it knO( up. And of course I write critical rssays which dtmand a
certain concentration. Only in poetry do I frrl the tension which
is mint (emocionally, physiologically), and frrl it put to positive
UJt. I write pottry btcausr I find it the most expressive of my
dcmtanor.
·A friend of mine, with whom I used to play pid-up baslttthall,
broke a ·finger one afternoon and bad to ait out for a few weeks.
(Frank is as good a forwanl as most scholan of 18th C. British
literature get_) NO( long afterward I saw him jogging, and he
stopptd tD talk. "You know," be said, "the problem with this is that
you can't keep score." Pottry tDO is measure, and for me thafs
what the body demands. Everything else is just jogging.

BRICKWORK

with the light burnt out, we trace fonns

darlr. against dark, that become more familiar
than once were faces, nosrs, lol\g and careful hands
marked with old scars. Occasionally we comment
on the weight of the mountains. wonder whrre

Perhaps when we leave the tunnel I will know
this stranger beu.er than I ever knew you.

The textile mills turned inside
out for shopping malls.
There is only the hue of the

the thick perfume of yeast
and hops alone would stan
a thirst; or a Methodist church

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

work called SUNYSAT. When the signal
is received in Albany, it is .transmiued
through a "turn around" process to all
campuses linked to SUNYSAT. A telephone number iJ provided so that "participanu can interact directly with the
conference panel," Lesniak said.
uckerman and Lesniak have worked
to get the word out so that people will
take advantage of teleconferencing.
While Lesniak handles the more technical details such as providi~g equipment
and checking whether the SUNYSA T

Zuckerman's main interest iJ in planning. "l am e&gt;&gt;&lt;cited about these new
opportunities because I want·to bring the
University into the 21st century," she
added.

These conferences are not just restricted to faculty. Zuckerman said "we
want to bring conferences to a wider
audience within the University and to the
local community."
Zuckerman said she appreciated Lesniak's efforts to bring this technology to
UB: "His efforts benefit all of us at the

University."
Lesni&amp;k says the teleconferences not
only allow for participation but are also
cost effective. Because UB is a member
of the NF,WTON network , the cost of
the faculty rights conference is only $400,
considerably cheaper than sending t:e'presentatives to the conference site in
Maryland.
Zuckerman adds that the technology
will be used as part of the University's
recognition of Black HiJtory Month in
February. A program and confen:nce
entitled "Beyond the Dream II: A Celebration of Black History," is scheduled
for broadcast.
The faculty rights teleconference will,
in the words of WiUiam Miller, chairman
of the Faculty Senate, offer ~debate on
mauers critical to faculty governance as
we move into the '90s and prepare for
university life."
• The airing or the debate is cosponsored by the American Council of
Education, the American Association of

The S&amp;l failures, supply side economics, the hundred-odd Cabinet investigations, the newfound notoriety as the

The potential to relieve such anxiety

According to Kurt Koenig, vice president and trademark counsel for the

According to the proposal from
Follet, the new copy service will be a
cooperative effort with Ginn Press,
which will secure copyright clearance for
the copying projects in advance. " We
have been securing copyright permissions for almost 20 years," said Don Kilburn, president of Ginn Press, "We wiU
contact publishers and ask for permission. We have a number of agreements
already in place."
In addition to securing copyright
clearance for the works, Ginn Press will
handle the 'production work involved.
Production work wiU be done at tbe

To ltad a s uccessful ca ree r. I'm sure

difficulties as mmorit ics. In every walk
of life there arc unpleasant and 1 o r
stupid fellow workers and bosses.
H owcver. m1norities must play the
'' Jackie Robinson, first black in

baseball" game daily. For me, an
international reputation in topology
(the name of my fteld of research) is
•rrelevant in day-to-day living. Here: is
a small sampling of my experiences
with racism, conscious and
unconscio us.
The Civil Rights Act was stgned in
I%4. In 1971 I was not allowed to ea1
in the William Penn Hotel restaurant
across from Pennsylvania's state capitol
building. This hotel was the location of
an academic conference in which I
participated, and this hotel once
employed my grandfather as a bell hop
nights and week.ends off from teaching
in the Harrisburg public schools.
Most of my life, even today, I am
carefully scrutinized in stores. I suppose
they th ink , no matter how I'm dressed ,
I am a 46-year-old potential shoplifter.
In 1973, I suffered, not for the !irst or
last time, a traditional indignity
experienced by many Amerinds, blacks,
and Hispanics. I was stopped by
suburban Buffalo police, frisked , and
had my auto illegally searched. Wbat
motive? I had brok.en no laws, nothing
was wrong with my car.
After a 1975 lecture, one
mathematician confided that no black
could bave studied with bis l!dvisor,
former president of the American
Mathematical Society. llr 1977, at a
University of O.icqo mathematics
department's "tea time, w I was ,

International Airpon, I received

officials. At ibe beginning of my 1984trip
to Warsaw, I wu pulled out of the line
of people boarding the Pan American
night, and I wu told to put my bands
against the wall and to spread my legs.
Evide ntally, the guards wanted to reascertain .whether I was carrying
weapons. Prior to five of the I 5 nights
I made out of Buffalo in 1988, I, unlike
the whites, was subjected to the hand
metal detectors at the airport even
thou&amp;h the wall&lt;-through's buzzer had
not gone off.

n 1987, I was refuacd admission to a
University area bar where I was to

What was the reason? Aged 44, b"ding
and greying. I needed a sheriff's I D to
prove: I was '} I . I have had great
difficulty fandmg a decent place to live
1hc past 25 years. In March of 1989.
w1th checkbook and University ID card
m hand , I wa.s refused the opportunit y
t o re nt the first 13 apartments I visited .
In spite of my Ph .D . I needed a
!ri.pecial beginning, and I know very well
the excuses for my uns uitability the
University would have made had it not
been for the monies earmarked for
h1ring minorities. As these special
programs no longer exist, the
t
univers ities ..duck" affirmative achon in
their hiring policies. Firsthand I have
seen job descriptions altered after
publication, in order to get .. the right
guy ... In the cases I write of. there was
no racism involved, yet there were
excellent black and Hispanic candidates
ignored in the process. On the other
hand, I have seen minorities, including
myself, ofTen:d insulting salaries,

"Minorities must
play the 'Jackie
Robinson, first
black in baseball'
game daily"
and / or positions. In the early 1980s,
Howard University became the first
traditionally black school to offer a
Ph.D. in mathematics.
- The calmness of mind necessary
do mathematics, requires that I
"for&amp;e~w such instances ·as
described above. A:&amp; additional
incentive, speak.in&amp; out on racism .
could brand me as a troublc-mal&lt;er to
universities, and perhaps l&lt;illing the
opportunities for the anonymous peerreviewed sranu netessary for my
research.
For my parents tbcR was no equal
opportunity. llo(y motller-. 1936

Ph.D. ~rl&lt; at otller illltitutiODI and

was only lit for high school ~aching (at
a time when white male bachelor
degree holders were endemic in colleges
throughout our nation). Similarly, my
father's Penn State Ph.D. in
psychology and high interest in
research was only good enough for
work as a. Coast Guard cook in World
Wiar II , and for IS to 24 hour/ week
teaching positions in black. colleges the
next 35 years. For my pan:nts, then:
was no time, money, or opportunity to
do anything but teach. For black
persons just one generation before me.
analogous stories arc trl.:!e. not only for
my parents' two brothers and two
sisters, all of whom earned their •
master's degrees by 1957. but for blacks
all over our country.

T

he rules which worked in the past
for the Chinese, Irish, Poles. and
Jews, etc., and which work in the
Vietnamese _
present for Cuban
immigrants, cannot sensibly be applied
to Amerinds and blacks. Many groups
came to the U.S. to escape persecution
at borne. Afro-Americans are the oitly
minority to arrive as slaves and with a
decimated culture. The Na;ve ·
Americans are the only minority to
have faced genocide here . and to have
their culture: systematically attacked by
o ur government. Thus, both groups
have become the perpetual immigrant
to th eir own country, Witho ut extreme
efforts on a nati onal level . these two
minorities will be forced to rebel
agains t the continuing oppression of
the past and present. Do we want
home-grown terrorism?
Have the minorit y firemen ,
policemen. and teachers. hired
affirmative action the past ten
years. performed . on
average, less well th a n
their ..far more
qualified" co-wo rkers?

and

Unconscious racism perceives a
minority of equal or greater ability at a
lower rank than a majority job
applicant. Unconscious racism fails to
sec: that tbe minority applicant with less
than adequate qualilications on paper,
might, due to personal struggles, be the
more than adequate candidate. The
reason for Affinnative Action is to
counter-balance racism , of the past and
the present.
I do not believe in ..crying ovCr spilt
milk ." I do believe in cleaniotit up
before the heat of the sum mer makes
the mess stink up my house. For you
who have forgotten the message of th e
1960s learned in the major cities of the
U.S .. remember Miami earlier th is year.
~Miami" can happen anywhere.
In 1986. I was invited to
Washington, D .C .. as a member of a
large and diverse committee of
scientists. We were: charged with
finding ways to slow or to reverse
America's declining position in the
world of technology. The meeting was
sponsored by the National Science
Found3tion, and it was a director of
that government organization who said
that it was clear that by tbe year 2000.
our country's position would be tM!_Iow
that of all Western Europe, as welT as
Japan, unless immediate action were
taken, especially to encourage
minorities into basic research. He
ended· his keynote address this way: -A
more aggressive affirmative action
policy is necessary at all levels, from
grade schools to universities, and we
hope you will tell us what to do."
Needless to say, my quip, "make all

"Joe was committed to social justice
in Buffalo, moving
from one inner city
parish to another."
- DR. RAYMOND BISSONETTE
inner city parish to anotbcr," explains
Raymond Bissonette, the victim 's
brother, a trustee of tbc foundation and
associate professor of family medicine at
UB.
"But he was just as involved with the
larger problems of world peace. The
foundation seeU to continue the social
work Joe was so prominent in by altering
barriers to justice, particularly interracial
justice." Bissonette says.
In fact, Father Bisso nette was so
committed to social justice that he ..spent
more time at City Hall than he did at th e
altar," his brother states.
... And, yes, he was criticized for it. He
was considered an activist and philosophica.l liberal, at least in the minds of
those who consider peace-seeking 'liberal.' His activism was his lack of
patience with institutional incompetence
or institutional iJI.iustia:."

In addition to his many efforts on
behalf of tbe Buffalo disadvantaged,
Father Bissonette was known for raisi ng
the visi bility of world peace issues.
According to his bro~cr , he was dedicated to the refugee resettlement movemen t, helping th ose who had escaped
CcntraJ American oppression.
He also organized a program to provide medical aid to El SaJvador and
inaugurated a memorial mass for Archbishop Oscar Ro mero of El Salvador.
who was killed in 1980 by a supposedl y
right ist gun man.
The foundation itself, which became
eligible fo r SEFA coot ributions last
yea r. has focused on raising public
awareness of these issues, si nce, as Raymond Bisso nette says, .. so up kitchens
never have a lasting impact unless you
address the structural aspect. Concurrent
with services you must address allitudes."
Last year, Barber B. Conable Jr., the
former area congressman who now
heads the World Bank, was invited to
speak in Buffalo on anti-poverty programs in developing countries.
Additionally, a non4raditional scholanhip program for inner-city child~n
bas bceD dc:vdopcd. Tbe most ·recent
recipient is a young girl from tbc Perry
Street projects WhOK mother is raising
four other children, aloDe, without any
outside belp. The girl is now atudying at
Nazareth College and hopes to become a
speceh tbcrapist.
Among other activities, support is
offered through the foundation t,o VIVE,
an organization committed to Central
American refugees, and to St. Adalbert's
community outreach program for refugee families. Grants are made to the St.
Vincent de Paul dining room and a permanent scholarship for inncr-&lt;:ity youth
has been established at Canisius High
School.
As mimy ·who donate know, the Bissonette Foundation is 100 per oent
volunteer, with next to nothing in operating costa or overbcad. "'f every contributed doUar," Biaonette points out.
"over 99 _oentl go directly to services."

nc night in February, 1987, a
pair of yo uths knocked at the
door of the rectory of St.
Bartholomew 's pa rish on
Grider Street in Buffalo, asking for help.
The priest, Rev. A. Joseph Bissonette,
invited them to entC:r, promisi ng his aid
and suppo rt . Moments later he was tied
to a chair, robbed and killed by the
kni fe-wie lding intruders.
T he Rev. A . Joseph Bisso nette Foundation. a SEFA-funded agency, was later
set up to .. ass ure perpetuation of the
work and co mmitment s of J oe

Amherst IDA gives $~00,000
to UB Foundation Incubator

T

be Amhent Industrial Development AtFncy (IDA) bas donated

$200,000 to tbe UB Foundation

Incubator to create a revolving
loan fund intended to belp support new
businesses, according to Kenneth F.
Riches, din:ctor of business incubation.
The creation of tbe revolving loan
fund is the realization of an idea
.. conceived of a few years ago?... said
Riches.
The UB Foundation Incubator is a
place when: businesses getting started
can obtain support at a difficult stage of
their growth, be added.
It is particularly difficult for new
compan ies to obtain loans because ""their
seed capital is usually very informal
capital - from friends , relatives, or
business associates," Riches remarked.
..The idea is to leyerage whatever seed
capital they have."
Development agencies will lend fairly
large sums to established companies, but
there are several reasons they hesitate to
lend to flc:dgling companies. "The loans
are small and difftcUltto administer, and
(development agmcies) want to be aure
that the tcchnolol)' they are in~ in

----

~~~

J

is worth putting money behind."
According to Riches, tbe idea was to
put a ceiling on the loans instead _of a
minimum, to provide a means for tbe
new businesses to obtain tbe smaller
loans that tbcy need to get stutcd . "The
ceiling is SSO,OOO, and the loans are in tbe
$10,800 to SSO,OOO range;" be said.
The Western New York Technology
Development Center, which manages tbc
facility, will play a role in tho screening
process to decide who should receive the
loans by making recommendations to
the IDA, which will determine the
recipients through a loan approval
committee.
·
An effort will be made to prevent the
fund from being depleted. "These are
high-risk ventures because they may-not
be colatcralized ,' Ri ches said. He
mentioned the possibility that there will
be "a warrant included fo r the purchase
of stock. We must take what is in effect a
future equity proposition process."
The Eric County Industrial Developmen~ Agency plans to match the
$200,000 donation at some point,
foDowing the concluaion of a federal
audit oC iu loan aclivitics.

BUI George\ recent lcuer about
parl&lt;in1 and the "exile" of •

faculty member strikes some
responsive chords! (Sec /Uport&lt;r. 9/1(89.)
Two
questions
·immediately arise - one
practica.l and one more philosophical: .. Ho_w
many parkin&amp; places are reserved for Publtc
Safety?" and "Arc othcT people - staiT,
faculty , or students - exiled by the parking
problcmsr
1hc next time you a.R prowling the
parkin&amp; lot, hoping for OM (I) parking
place, it may amuse or provoke your
emotions to know that at leasl 61 (count
them!) spaca ~ devoted to our Public
Safety. Let us imagine that 10 spaces would
be neceasary for viaiton who can park there
on ly while on Public Safety bwiness,
leading one 10 believe that perhaps S I

ignore e.xile as long as some administraton

and Public Safety can park at will?

What is the total number of employees?
HOw many op an averqc shift? Wh o

In a well-ordered Univef'4ity with severe
financial limitations. it mi&amp;ht seem sensible
to arranac parkin&amp; so that librarians (who
preserve knowkdac). faculty (who preserve,
ex1end , and distribute knowk:dge) and
s1udents (who pin and sometimes extend
knowledge) coukl get to their necessary
parkmg places. They shouJd not be exiled !
People who mmister to the University (tid
muu.st~r in Latin) of course also need places
10 park .
Drillianlly, but with topsy-turvy priority,
dus campus hu solved the problem for
ac.Jnunistraton by arranging paid parking,
w1th easy access right by Capen H&amp;ll , and.
ot co une, plenty of parking for Public
Safety . With a mere 61 places, we need not
fret about their being unable to get to class
no. not class or the library , but work such as giving tickets. Would Public Safet y
oHicxrs give fewer tickets if they sometimes
had to compete with the rest o f U!'i for
parking spaces?
Although it is terrible for a handicapped
person to be unable to park. it is also
dispiriting, infuriating. and ultimately crazy
for non-handicapped peopk 10 be shul out
from the Univenity. After all , the state
wants the Univcnity to run , wants us to
preserve, c:.~tend, and distribute knowledge.

The state will cvca spend almost $300 a
square foot for one building.. But not a
d ime more for park.iaa?

Slee organ project
EDITOR:
We were delighted to see that
there were t·wo stories on the
Slcc Hall organ in your Sept.
21 issue. There we~ however, some crron
-in the article dcal.ing with the flfl&amp;DCel and
history which I am lUre you will want to
cotTeCt for your n:aden, u they coocern
such an imponant and costly addition to
our Univc.nity - errors arising. I am sun:.

ftom tbc fact that noac of the people you
talked to bu li&gt;'cd witb the project from tbe
bcpru.in&amp;. f'IBI of all, I should cor=:t tbe
title you confer on me. as it is DOl qu.ilc fair
to my collcqucl_ I am not "head oT tbe
orpa pfOit&amp;ID" - we have no one actio&amp;
in exactly that capacity_ Dr. Barbara

and our principal orpn tacbcr, thouab
1\fr. Michael Burke, head of student
propams, and I also uadl orpn. I have
been named c:urator of tbe Slec Hall orpn.
The history of .tbc orpi&gt; project is bridly
as follows. Around 1967, when plannina for
a music: buildin&amp; for tbc Am'berat Campus
bcpn and the music dcpartmcat was asked
to generate a program for its facilities,
S2SO,OOO (not S22S,OOO) was bt&gt;di&lt;~ed for
two orpns. one to be a large one for a
concert ball oc.atina 1,200 and the other for
a teaching studio. At the. time, that sum
woukl have been ample for two substantial
inst.ru..JJlents. No orpn wu plumed for the
10IHea1 "chamber music ball" I do not

rcmcmbct that we bad any partic:ular

the present buildings got under way toward
the end of the 1970s, our $250,000, wbicb
had never changed over 1hc 20 yean slnct it
had been enshrined in the capital equipment
budget. sufficed only ror a modest
instrument for what now became Slcc HaiL
The dream of I second organ for tcacbiog
had to be abandoned and one of our okl
organs wu renovated for this purpose.
.
Conversations with Charles F'JSk began 1n
1978, and in late summer of 1980 a
Jpc:cifw:ation was sent to Albany for
approval. It described an orpa wh?K true
prioc was about S 190,000, the mnamder

bcia1 rcactvcd for cacalation due to
inllation over tbe five-year delivery time.
We received notice of approval in June,
1982, at which time an additional SSO,OOO
wO. autboriml to help witb tbe cacalatiotL
Futile attcmpll were made in 1981 , 198-1,
and 1986 to raise (or to obtain permission
to raitc) further fundi to ~ugment our now
·minimaJ-instrumcnL Finally, in June of
1988. some months after design work. had
bcpn (the builder bein&amp; providentially two
yean ~~chine~ achcdule, oocordin&amp; to which
cklivery was to have taken place in Ju~.
1987), authorization for a total expenditure
of something more than $600,000 wu
issued. This fiBUrt: included the orilinal
S2S0,000 and all esc:alation, ,but not tbe
acoustical work on the hall nor certain costs
connected with the initallation. which is still
continui.n&amp;- Tbe instrument that is flOW
t.alr.ina ahape is as larp: as will fit in tbe loft
provided foNt and poucucs a number of
bilhJy desirable technical features tbat
could riot have been considered earlier.
Bcaicles tF fiBUrc of "abo~t sru,ooo,"
which is not very imponant m nself, this
account corrects and clarifiCS the erroneous
statement that "1'rom the beginning.. .l had
wanted a F'11k orpn." That desire look.
about 20 yean to rorln, and the decision to
deal with Flsk wu of course only taken
after 1nuch consultation with my cotJeagucs.
It was also not quite corTCCt for your source:
to have said that '"by the time the organ
was paid for, the cost had gone up to over
S600.000." The increase was authorized
early in the payment schedule to pay for
additions to the origitW specifications. The
rot of the article wal"1nten:sting to me, u
it e~ p laincd mauers about fUndi ng that I
did not know and thus have no grounds to
qucstioD..

·ua opens national ·lab

to test radar ·traffic units
By MARY BETH SPINA
News Bureau Staff

national comprehensive laboratory to ~t and calibrate traffic radar units for manl!factur.
, en and 'law enforcement
agencies was officially opened Tuesday by
1he Univenity at Buffalo.
The laboratory is ooe of' only two in
the nation certified by the National lnttilute of Standards and Technology to test
' and ensure accuracy of products on. its
Consumer Products List of Police Traf- fie and Radar Devices.
.
Located in the UB Foundation's Baird
Research . Park ob Sweet Home Road
adjacent to the North Campus, the new
1facility is also certified to test police:
radar traf(ic dCilices by the Highway
Safely Committee of the International
ociation of Chiefs of Police (IACP)
and the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
U B President Steven B. Sample and
Thomas A. ConJtantine, superintendent
of the New York State Police, jointly
a nnounced the opening ofthe laboratory
at a press conference.
The selection of UB resulted from
membe..,hip of the New York State
Police in the IACP. Its highway safely
committee had the responsibility of identifying a strategically located, high lechnology laboralory capable or passing the
stringent certification process. Superin]endent Constantine's reCo mmendation
to the committee resulted in the selection
of U B based on its credentials.
"I would like to acknowledge Superintendenl Constantine and the New York
State Police for the hard work and perseverance they asserted in the selection or
U B as the sile of this state-of-lhe-art
fac ility," Sample said.
Constantine, a long-standing member
of the IACP, said the unique facility
dramatically demonstrates what can be
accomplished when government and
education combine their talents toward
furthering highway safety.
"The laboratory here will add a new
dimension to nationwide highway safety
efforts by ensuring thai state-of-the-art
equi pmenl used by police agencies will

he emplwized.
"'The tests condUCted at this new
laboratory ·will (live motorisu and law ·
enfon:ement aaencies oontinued coof'.dence in the accuracy and performance
of speecl-measurina devices," Sample
said. "We are pleued that UB will be
able to aid in tbe state's accideDtrCduction program through its speed

T

he laboratory was made possible in
pan through coOperative funding
from the National Hiah-Y Traffte
Safety Administration, the IACP, Gov.
Cuomo's Traffic Safety Committee and
the UB School of En(lineering and Applied Sciences.
Darold Wobschall, director of the SOOsq uare-foot laboratory and an expert on
electronic instrument design, sensors and
measurement, said most radar units will
be lested using simulated signals at the
Baird Research Park location. Other key
tests using a moving vehicle equipped
with radar . will be conducted on area
highways in cooperation with lhe New
York State Police:.
.. Some testing with moving patrol can
may also be performed al Arvin/Calspan's Vehicle Experimental Research
Facility in nearby Cheektowaga," he
said .
Two IYpeS of tests will be available to
police radar manufacturers and law
enforcement agencies. They, will be done
for a fixed fee per unit.
"The "full' test, which can require several weeks of study and is conducted on a'
si ngle sam ple of a radar device. is the
type requesled by manufacturers," Wobschall e&lt;plained .
This comprehensi ve test includes
measuring effects of temperature, display
co ntras t,and a range of electromagnetic
in terference on a new device that is being
introduced into the marketplace.
The shorter. half-hour "mini" test
emphasizes accuracy and can be conducted on existi~g units foe a panicular
law enforcement agency.
" We anticipate thai perhaps 1,000
units annually will be tested at our facil-

Talking over the grim situalioo in Colombia are lhese UB graduate studenls, from
IE:ft: Olga Arbelaez. Jaime Ramos. Alfonso Abondano. Claudia Abondano, and
Nancy Romero.

A

lfonso Abondano is worried that
the Colombian people, in tbeir fervor to rid the country of drug traffickers,
do not realize that sacrifices will have to
be made.
"Who is going to die, whose children
are going to die?" one st udent asked.
They agree that the government must
succeed soon or else the killings, the
bombings, and the general fear among
th e people will bring down the
government.
This sit uation is especiaJiy true among
the lower classes in Colombia because
they haye always felt helpless, the students sll.id. "The common people can~ do
anything because they don \ have money.
and without money they leel they lack
the power to act, .. said Tulia Jimenez, a
doctoral student in Spanish.
Military aid in terms of equipme nt is
welcomed by the interviewees. However.
they are wary of mititary advisors, and
they a re com pletel y opposed to military
intervention. ·If anything, the sending in
of troops would jeopardize the survival
of the present government, they feel.
Already. students at the Natio nal University in Bogota haYe violently pro,:

The best way for the U.S. to help
Colo mbi a fight the drug war, Ram os
said , is by not undermining the Colombian economy a nd by helping to generate

fee agreement to benelitl from more
competitive prices offen:d"by other producers," he said. "Since Colombia is a
major coffee p_roducer, th is treaty
•ensured that we would get a fair price."
"Coffee prices have already dropped,"
said Arbelaez, referring to the eventual
expiration of the ~ty.
While the &lt;;olombian economy is relatively strong, there is concern OVC{ a possi ble recession. Bolla the uncertainty of
the coffee market aod other exports such
as Oowe11 threaten Colombia's economic
stability, the students conteoded.

M

oreover, if the government does
succeed in destroying the drug cartel, the economy wiU suffer because then:
are a fair number of businesses in
Colombia that are in the bands of the
drug dealers.
"Now what Colombia faa:s is not just
violence, but also the possible collapse of
its economy," said Ramos.
While there is some debate over the
degree of racism felt by these Colombian
st udents at the University and in the
co mmun ity, they reel that the events in
Colombia will help to break down old
stereotypes.
"The idea that I have is that before,
people tended to generalize and thinlc
that i~ you're Colombian, then you must
so mehow be assoc;iatt&lt;! with drugs. Now
they are beginning to differentiate
between the Colombian people, there
and here, versus the Colombian drug
dei.lers."
The st udents agreed that the situation
could worsen if the drug cartel bnngs its
war to the U.S. "If an important Ameri·
can judge or politician were killed by a
Colombian, that might contribUte to an
increase in anti-Colombian feelings,"
said Ramos.
In spite of wony for their families and
country, the studentJ believe ' that the
people and covemment of Colombia
must come down hard on the dN&amp; lords.
Then: is no room for (ear. As Ramos
stated: "We have iii cb001e between fear

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

Sample says UB achievements promise bright future
By DAVID 11. SNYDERMAN
Repor1er S!atf

his summe r has been an especially good one for UB. President Sample told the Faculty
Senate Execu ti ve Committee
last week. . Predicting a bright future for
the University, he listed four major
achievements.
Sample fir.ll noted the World University Games, which will be played in the
Buffalo area during the summer of 1993 .
UB will be tbe principal site for the
games ...1 am a strong believer in .the
value of the World Games," Sample told
the senate.
The primary value of the UnMrsiad•.
as the World U Diversity Games are also
called, will be in the allention - and not
the money - paid to tbe Buffalo area.
'the president said. ':"$150 million one way
or .the other is not important to a city
with an economy as large as oun;.
"I think having the World University
Games means that for a period of two
weeks, then: will be a couple -hundred
million people worldwide who will have
their auention focused on tbe games,"
and as a result, the Buffalo an:a and the
University, he said.
Sample then noted an important addition to the U niver.ity's medical research
effort, the soon-to-be-built Positron
Emission Tomography (PEl) Imaging
Center.
PET scanners are a non·invasive imaging technique like CT (Computerized
Tomography) scannen or NMR (Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance) imaging equipment. However, "PET imagery is mon:
on the forefront of imaging technology,"
Sample said.
The Plff Center is a joint venture with
the Buffalo VA Medical Center, located

T

on Bailey near the South campus. UIJ
will bouse a cyclotron in Parker Hall
that will produce short-lived radioisotopes for usc in the actual PET scanner.
located at the VA.
The radioisotopes will be available for
use by qther PET scanner. in the !'"'a.
Sample said. In addition, he noted. the
VA has said it will allow physicians who
are not affiliated with the hospital to
refer patients to the clinic.
The PET scanner will cost $12 million,
Sample said. Of this amount, approximately half hu already been raised: $3 .4
million from a VA grant, $1 million from
the Cummings Foundation, and $1.5
million to be provided by the dean of the
medical school.

T

he third accomplishment of tbe
summer was sign1ng a contract with
Bernard Obletz., an alumnus of botb the
Unive,..ity and the Law School, to
develop a retail complex on Parcel B.
This complex, located on the sbores of
Lake LaSalle near the bookstore, will
include shops and office space. The final
item Sample mentioned was the new
organ, recently installed in Slec Hall.
..This is quite an asset, quite a special
asset for the University," he said. He
added that he was loobng forward to the
first concert on the new organ. Built and
installed by C. B. Fisk Inc. of Gloucester,
Mw., the organ is expected to be ~Y
for a concert in April, after the installation, and tuning work is completed.
In S&gt;ther business, tbe FSEC was
informed of a mectin&amp; between Tom
George, dean of the Faculty of Natural
Science and Mathematics, and the
FNSM faculty concerning the future of
the Statistics Department (see accompanying article).
Senate Chair William Miller noted

that the committee had been asked to
comment on a change in student rules,
clarifying them on the subject of academic dishonesty. The primary change
will be to make it illegal for it student to
solicit or receive information on assignments and exams ~Miller said he favo~
making it clear .that these actions would
have to evidence: "'intent to deceive ....

The FSEC voted unanimously to
reco mmend adoption of the proposed
fCVIS IOO .

Also at the meeting, Nicolas Good man. associate professor of mathematics,
questioned the use of Millard Fillmore
College for the teaching of n:gular day
division undergraduate students (see
accom panying article).

G

AluHo offers resignation as
dean of School of Management
fter 13 years as dean of the
School of Management, Joseph
A. Alutto has announced his
resignation, effective August
1990. He will return to being a full-time
member of the faculty of tbe school.
In a letter to UB President Steven B.
Sample, Alutto wrote: "I believe tbe time
is right for a transition in deans and
intend to botb initiate and participate in
a process that achieves such an objective
in as effective a manner as possible. I
have very high regard for the future of
the University and the School of Management. To whatever extent possible, in
the years ahead I intend to continue Contributing to the: ever more exciting scholar ly climate of both institutions ...
Sample, in his response to Aluuo,
stated : "Certainly no one could fault you
for deciding to step down after what will
be 14 years of absolutely outslaDding
service u dean. You bave brought to this
position an unpn:cedented levd of
energy, talent, and dedication, and you
can be justly proud of the development
of the School under your stewardabip.
Everyone hu been impressed with your
constant emphasis on quality in both
teaching and n:sean:h, with the entreprc-

A

neurial spirit you have engendered
among students and faculty, and with the
way in which you've n:acbed out to the
local, national, and international business communities...
_
Sample added that during Alullo's
tenure u dean the UB School of Management "hu emerged for the lint time
as a serious competito,r among management sct.ools nationally."
Alutto notcil in his letter to Sample
several accomplisbments whicb will
..ensure that transitjon between deans is
seen as part of continous institutional
development": m:ruitment of senior level
faculty·members, successful capital campaign activities, effective new planning
statements. and a new development plan
for curriculum.
Aluuo serves u director of UB's Ma.oter of Business Administration (MBA)
Program at the National Center for
Industrial Science and Technology
Management Development in Dalian,
China, which was established in 1984.
Bcfon: being named dean in I9n,
Alutto oerved . as a profesior in the
School of Manaaemcnt 's.Departmcnt of

Statistics: hoine,.sweet home in the medical school?_.

Report8f Stall

hither goetb statistica?
"Sometime in September
of 1988, it was proposed
that the Statistia Depart·
ment should go to the medical school"
from its present location in the Faculty
of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
(FNSM}, ·e xplained Peter En;., associate
professor of statistics and former

W

"In the survey
we did, it was
very clear that
statistics did not
have to be housed
in natural
sciences."
- DAVID J. TRIGGLE

depanment chair.
Enis was responding to recent
discussions about the future of tbe
discipline here.
·At first, the department did not agree
with that. We felt that the best interests
of the University would be served if the
department stayed as a core discipline in
the FNSM," En;. said.
"After long, careful, and thorough
deliberation within the Department of
Statistics, it was decided that moving to
the medical school was the best
alternative ....
This proposaJ is tbe latest in a series of
d;..cussions dealing with the future of the
Statistics Department. On Aug. 30, Tom
George, dean of FNSM, met with h;.
faculty members to d;..cuss this proposal.
At that meeting, Anthony Ralston ,
professor of computer science, objected

strenuously to the mcm:. "It would be, I
believe, unprecedented for a research
uniYeflitx - top .50, mocb leu top 10 to have no mathematical statistics
,capability w~r in its arts and
sciences depart.ments."
Pbapnacy dean David J . Triggle, chair
of a 1987-U committee cbarJed with
recommeodina to the provost a coune of
action for statistics, said that it was not
uncommon to ftnd statistica departments
housed outside of FNSM-&lt;:&lt;&gt;unterpart
divisions at other univenities.
"In the survey we did," Trigglc said
Monday, "it was very clear that statistics
did not bavc to he housed uniquely in
natural scicnccs.
"Natural sciences and mathematics
may bave almoll been the lesser
pe=ntqe (among the 5cbools surveyed}.
You lind as many instances where
atatistics were housed in schools other
than natural sdences and mathematics,"
be said.

H

owever. Ralston , in a prepared
statement, forecast dire occuJTCooes
from the move.
"There can be no question that
transfer to the academic Siberia (for
statistica) of the School of Medicine will
mean the rapid death of mathematical

statistics as a discipline at this
Univeroity," Ralston cbarJed.
Triggle disapecd. "I see it as a gain to
the Univenity u a whole to have a
strong statistics department in medicine
tban to have a weak statistics department
in FNSM," be said .
"I would flU' rather see the opportunity
- and I tbinlr. that that's what it is - for
statistics to prosper somewhere else, tban
to fail in natural sciences and
mathematica, • Trigglc continued .
Ralston predicted that a move to
medicine could speU trouble for tbe
department's teachina efforts. "Perhaps I
am also wrong in thinking that this move
would inevitably have negative consc-

qucnccs for both underJradtiate and
graduate tcacbinc of statistia on this
cainpus, although it can hardly be
argued that that is not a reasonable
worry."
Enis docsn' share this view. II the
department moves to the foedical school,
he said, "'we would be allowed to
continue the full spectrum of activities,
including teaching undergraduates, nonmajor service courses, and our current
graduate program." En;.• comments
were also made in an interview that
followed the FNSM meeting.
John Naughton, dean of the School of
Medicine aod Bionic.dical Sciences ,
agreed. "Undergraduate education ;, not
foreign to us," Naughton said. He
pointed out that biochemistry, biophysics, and other medical school departments teach undcrgrads.
Furthermore, Naughton said he would
welcome the arrival of the departmenL "I
met with ~ faculty several times and
they feel that they're better off over here
than where they are. I think the medical
school and the statistica department
both could benefit from such a move.
"I tbinlr. they can have a very stable
program here and it would be mutually
beneficial to them as well as to the
medical school.·

I

n addition, current faculty members
would be free to purouc their research
in pure atatistics, if they so chose.
"Nobody expects us to mate a auddeo
changep the direction of our research,"
Enis wd.
In any case, it seems likely that the
department will be affected by the
propokd new location. "It ;, anticipated
that the new faculty to be hired will be
t~ose who have indicated an interest in
btostat;,tica," said Enis. He added that
pure statisticians wbo have shown an
interest in biostatistics will be consKtered
for positions along with biostatisticians.
Ralston also assailed George, saying

that be baa kept delails ol the proposal
bicldcn'ftom tbe FNSM. "This is tbe very
first iime that any atlallpt bar been
made by the administration of this
faculty to communicate with you about
tM problem."
Gcor~ admitted tM was tile fiJ'St time
he had gone before tbe entire FNSM, bot
said he bad been meeting With relevant
FNSM groups all along. "We've bad

and sciences."

out the University, including variou.s
bodies within the FNSM , ouch u tbe
executive committee, the faculty council,
and others."
Ralston claimed that the move could
hurt the University's prestige. "Many of
you do lr.now bow ridiculous the
proposed move will mate the Univcnity
loolr., indeed, how ridiculous it bt,s
already made us look among statisticians
nationally."
George diJalrced. "III thought that, I
wouldn' be doina this. •
The outcome of the meeting was to
pass a slightly modif!Cd , venit&gt;n of
Ralston's motion asking for more
information from the administration on
tbe proposed move, including justifle&amp;·
lions of the move, alternative solutions,
and agreements about the transfer of
resources with the department.

NCEER project protects
buildings against quakes
A fully automated active control
system to protect structures from strong
earthquakes wiU be installed and tested
on a six..story building being constructed
in Tokyo.
The system was developed by
researchers at the National Center for
Earthquake Engineering Research
(NCEER), headquartered here.
It ;, designed to enable buildings to
behave more like machines, aircraft or
human beings, nexing thei[ structural
muscles to adapt or respond to extreme
environmental conditions ranging from
earthquakes to heavy winds.
wPassive: structures such as buildings,
bridges, and offshore drilling platforms
that now rely on their mass and solidity
to resist outside forces, could be made
more adaptive or responsive to external
forces," explained Tsu T. Soong, head of
the project and a principal investigator
at NCEER.
"Successful tes~ of the system bas
included its usc in a six-ttory, 20-ton
model structure that was subject to conditions similar to several U.S. and Japanese cartbqualr.es," added Soong, U B
profeuor of civil CDJinecring.
"The data from tbcac quakes were fed
into a computer, "!hidl ra:ali~ ~

acilmic simulation. table that shook the
ecaled down structwe. Results show 'that
an acti-ve CODtrol system is capable of
lr.ecpina the .mndd operatina safely
which, without it, may not be able to

survive, .. he noted .
Scheduled to be operational next
month in an area of high seismic activity
in Tokyo, the building will be tcsied
under actual earthquake conditions for a
three-year period.
The project, also beaded by Andrei M.
Rbeinborn, UB associate professor of
civil engineering, ;, funded by the
National Science Foundation and the
State of New York.
The system makes use of an active
tendon control concept. Sensing devices,
strategicaiJy placed throughout a building, measure the vibration of a structure
and relay that infonnation to a computer that instantly decides what control
fnrccs are needed to prevent structural
damage.
The control forces are then transmit·
ted to the structure through a series of
]lre-stressed cables or tendons that
adjust to the slightest movement. The
tendons are stretcbc:d di.qonally across
the building's supporting columns.
The system will be installed and tested
in conjunetion with an active mass

the proximity of the area to the Canadian border, and d&gt;st ·especially local

Eagles states. He is also more comfonahle in Buffalo now because of the access
to Canadian ~ws that was difficult to

Although hi&gt; research interests do not
touch directly on the Free Trade Agree ment (FT A). Eagles expressed a "qualified yes" to the deal. He says that A meri cans should remember that .. it's a fact of
life that as a country Canada is oneo~ tenth

The issue of free trade was very con-

tentious in the last gen,e~ Canadian

difficult to assess the deal 's impact on
both sides of the border.
Eagles says that it ;. surprisingly easy

fo r a Canadian to obtain a professional
position in the United States. The ease
with which professionals on both sides of

the border can enter one another's country has been stimulated by theFT A. Buffalo is becooting "home" for a larger

The eno rmous sales of his books in German y. Po land . and Romama have esLab-hshed ham a\ a major figure in the Europea n literary and cultural world .
" In October 1986. the German pubh!&lt;o hcr Gren o Vn/ag came out with a

th1 ck. p1ie of ~views from German newspapers and magazmes. - It won t wo
priz.es, one was for the best foreign book
" It was o n the German best books list ,

the lkstenli.ste, in December of 1986, at
seventh place . The following mo nth 11
moved up to founh place ...
in addition, the German magazine DiP
A nckre 8ibli01hek devoted an entire

The immedaate success of h1s first

of offers and consequent successes
throughout the continent.
Federman expressed his surprise at the
enthusiastic response to h1s book : .. It 1s
very typographical and experimental.

"The immediate
success of his first
book in German
started a domino
effect of offers."
and the response was incredible - 75
reviews. some full pqe reviews - it was
considered a great discovery."
In 1987. Federman sent hi! publisher
Th• Twofold Vibration, which was
released in the United States in 1982. The
book's German tranSlation came out in
October of 198 8. and made the
&amp;stmluu.
The success of has first two German
translations netted Federman, among
other things, an invitation to speak at the
Frankfun Fair last October. where he
was intervlewed by foreign editors.
"I was approached by a publisher from
Poland who was interested in publishing

Incredibly, the dual edition surptwed

- how does a survivor deal with the
questions of survival ...
Federman has just returned from an

most profound experience of my life. I
spoke to people trying to come to terms

I went to
make my presence felt. "
Federman said , .. in Poland and Germany, once the Jews disappeared , something ful!damental was missing, r.he
Jewish mind and the Jewish humor.
.. 1 think that is what appeals to them:
yo u have to be able to deal with your
obsessions with playfulness, seriou.sness.
and humor To be a survivor is a happy
occasion

that calls on artists from all genres to
come and practice their crafts. The group
invited the likes of Carlos Fuentes and

maJOr papers and on radio, and was
acclaimed as .. one of the most originaJ

conclusion of the performance. "It was
exciting to work in another medium, .. he
added.
Federman also finished a manuscript he had brou&amp;(lt. entitled To Whom it

child care to senior cttizcns' ca re and
everything in between. "
One wou ld expect Marvin Bloom to
know that of which he speaks. The U B
associate professor of social work has
been associated with Friendship House
for .. many years ... lately as an involved
president of the board. The Lackawanna
agency ls one of the many community
services supported by the United WaySEFA Campaign that began last week .
Bloom is not the only one from UB to
have served Friendship House. Other
fac ulty and staff have served on tbc
board . Also. Lee Griffin, UB's director
of public safety, "has been very active."
And many graduate studenu in the
School of Social Work train there as
interns.
Even the executive director is a UB
graduate with a master's desrce in social
work. Bloom said the efforts of Ralph
Hernandez .are directly responsible for
turning Friendsliip· Rouse from a "tyt&gt;ical JII!ODCY with a $300,000 budget" into a
" very prestigio~n organization, a
dynamic agency, one of-the IUF&gt;t in
Western New York, with a $2 million
budget that is still growing."

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"The so1md system and stage will
allow large acts to perform in the space."
he added .
Across the hall is an area designed to
provide a more relaxed atmosphere fOr
socialization. '"There will be tables and
chairs, but less formal, with a tiled
floor," Sullivan said. ~ And there will be
cable TV installed eventually."
The two an:as are separated by the
central corridor, but glass walls and sliding glass doors have been installed to
give .a comfortable contiiiiiity, according
to Sullivan. "The two an:as could potentially be opened up into one anothel(:
providiog space for "-""TY large activity,
he remarked.
The an:as will bave new furniture purchased by the FSA.

�CONS-r:RUCTION--IIilllilllilillllllill•
A series of mova and .construction
projects preceded the finaltoucbeo to the
ne w pub, Sullivan said . The final plan
ste mmed from cooperative meetings
o f a committee of representatives from
various organizations.
" We were looking for a way to open

up lab space on the spi ne. and we talked
with the Geography De partment and
.worked out a plan to move them into
Wilkeso n. 10 the spa~ occu pied by the
pub,.. explained Sulhvan.

T

he ann ouncemenl of the plan caused
so me co ntrovers y la s t se me s ter
when student groups co mplaaned that
they had no mput 1n the decasion to relocate the p ub .. II was always in o ur

mind to replace and . •f possible, enhance
the pub facility," S ullivan said .
"The plan was announced at a FSA
board meeting and released to tpe Uni-

versity community u a decision made,
but tlae majority of negotiations bad not
been made," Sullivan explained.
~ a result of the students' displeasure,
a committee was established with representatives from the provost's office. the
Division of Student Affairs, the FSA .
and the student government.
... We formed a comm ittee to loo k at
ways in which we could relocate the
Geography Department but provide
rep lacement for the student activity
space that was lost." Sullivan said.
The co mmittee developed a plan for
space relocation and the details of the
plan for eac h of the spaces, according to
Su lli van. According to Derek LaMarche.
one of the student representatives on the
comm ittee , " the administrat ion was
receptive to almost everything we proposed . The meetings were basically discussions about the most practicaJ a nd

usable ideas for the space."
'Sullivan .,....S. •The students arc
mainly responsible for the way · the
facilities now look and tbcir locations.
For example, the bookstore and the rcc
center now open d irectly into the srudent
club, providins a hub of activity in the
center of Ellicott," he said.
The committee will be a standin g
committee .. to deal with si milar situatio ns that may arise in the future ... Sullivan said .

T

here were several stages to the move
of tbe pub from its origi nal location.
First , the Ellicott bookstore was
moved into space previously occ upied by
the Creative C raft Center, and a new
opening was created into the stud ent
cl ub. The craft ce nter now occup1es a
smal ler area. and a new loom room was
built to accommoda te the changes in lhe
space.
Second. a wall was removed between
space occupied by the old bookstore and

a classroom. and t(le new rcc center was
put illto the rcsultins space.
The new pub wu put into space previously occupied by the rec center and
University Outfitte,.., SuUivan said. The
Geography Department wiU be located
in the space previously occupied by the
pub.
"Between. July 5, when construction
began on the pub and Sept. I, 95,. per cent
of the work was done," he added. The
construction effon required the coordination of SO workers in various field s.
?ften working on different projects in the
same are.L
The kitchen facilities in the new pub
existed before construction began. Sulliva n said . .. Originally. there were kitchen
racilities in all seven quads. and so me
were never operational. We reopened the
kitchen arU. • •
.. I have never seen m·are coordination
and cooperation," Sullivan said . " It was
~- great job."

Greatbatch study puts AIDS incubation at 18 years
By ARTHUR PAGE
News Bureau Stat1

T

he mean incubation period for
developing AIDS may be as
long as 18 yean, t.be lon8"5t
estimated incubation period to

date for the disease, according to a

mathematical analysis by a U B
rc:sc:arcbet.
Wilson .Greatbatch, P.E., said his
analysis tends to refute studia that bave
estimated t.be mean incubation period to
be 8-10 yean. which apio are longer
incubation periods than originally esti·
mated for the period from iofedion to
onset of AIDS.
~tcb's analysis, presented in a
poster session at the Ftftla Lntcmational
Confer=cc on AIDS in Monllcal, ntilizal data from the Cemcn for Dilease
Control OD 1,604 traDsfusio!Hdated
AIDS caJ&lt;S di.apOS&lt;d between 1976 and

1988.
Based on it, Great batch estima(ed that
a minimum of 20.000 to a maximum of

50,000 mo~ transfusion-related cases of
AIDS wiU be detected during the next40
yean.
Greatbatch, UB adjunct professor of
electrical enginecrin&amp; did the aoalyois
with William S. Holmes of the Department of Engineering Technology at Buf·
falo State.
He noted that the study involved the
largest number of AIDS patienu of any
to date on the disease's incubation
period.
By focusing on transfusio!H'Clated
cas&lt;S, Greatbatcb lidded, it deals with
"probably the only c::t.s of AIDS
paticuu for wbolll the pruioe time of
infection is reasoubly ~
"Past altallptiiO estiame the incubation time of AIDS haft been bampered
by the availability of only small dma

sam ples and by a scnoU5 uncenaJnl y &amp;
to the date of mfection ." noted
Greatbatch, inventor of tbc implantable
cardiac pacemaker and developer of tbe

long·life lithium-iodine battery.
"This bas resulted in estimates of mean
incubation time which have increased,
year by year, from four yean in 1984 to
nine yean in 1989, an avuap: increase of
one year per year. An exception was a
study ~ported in 1987 that estinWed tbe
mean incubation time to be IS yean."
Mean incubation period rden to the
time it tai.es for half of infected individuals to progress lO onset of AIDS.
reatbatcb'l mathematical analysis
of traDsfusio....-elated .AIDS c:asa
involved applyin&amp; a Weibull curve to
points plotted on a papb usia&amp; data on
year of blood ~usion and year of
diaposis of AIDS usin&amp; CDC criteria.
The WeibuU curve is a method to

G

L

stud y matbematica.J distribution used
extensively in engineering ~ statistica.

Applation of the method to the CDC
data suggested a mean incubation time
approximating I g yean. Greatbatcb
said . How close to 18 yean will be
determined by future analytea.
Referrin&amp; to the estimale, Greatbatcb
added: "We ru:ogniu that Ibis
a
mucb lonp:r iocubatiOD time than previo.us estimates but may be explainable,
in part, from wort of Wolinsky reported
at the. Fourth lntematioaal Coafercoce
on AI OS in Stockholm. This JUII)Cited a
dormant period belweea infection and
expression of antibodia of as much as
four yean."
"From our cuna, Greatbatdl aOcc.l,.

and pataap. a ..W... of 50,1100
traDJfusioo-rdated c:ua of AIDS

Prof in exile
IDITOR:
I am writina this Jeucr from
umvenity exile - away from
.
the excitement of the firn day
of classes, the exuberance of tbc returning
-Jtudent&amp;, and the greetirlp of colleques
Jon&amp; hidden by the: diverse activities of the
summer. How. yo u may ask, can one be

exiled from the Univenity'l

Euil~ .

I simply

wu not sup plied with a parking taa. nor the
fonns to acquire one, and am too proud to
park in a visitor lot . Better a faculty
member in exile than disarace myself. as a
visitor in disguise! Therefore no triPs will be:
made to campus durin&amp; hours when parking
restrictions arc in force.
Who i.s respon!ible then for my exile?
Well , it probably depends on your point of
view. The Park ing Bureau wiU tell you that
I haven' paid my fine for parlcios once
without a tag last year (it was in my other
car), and that they are merely enforcin&amp;

policy. After all. they litteoed lo lily appeat..
before ruling negatively, they doubled my

fine. and disturbed my family by sendin&amp;
some 20 or so dirt warnings of the
consequences of non-acqulesccnce 10 my
home. Why am I complaining, and who do
I think I am, anyway?
My position LS quite clear cut abo. I am a
faculty member , I paid for and received a
tag. and I am therefore entitled to park in a
facuhy lot. By purchasing a tag and Cy
appc:aJjng the ticket for not displaying it. I
clearly rccogmzcd and accepted the
Univenity'l right 10 make and enforce
parking policy. The surface level di!pute
then is over what should be the
consequc:oces or foracttina my taa,. I simply
refuse to pay the: SLO fine. oo mat.tc.r bow
many Lim.e5 it is doubled nor how Ions I
remain ofT campus. 1bc: issue is not the
money, since I contribute many times that
amount to the variotl! activities of the
University. Rather, the issue, to my mmd at
~ Ls what kind of univenity we are
going tQ be. The hangtag and the evergrowing list of regulations and staff which
try to mate it work has become a symbol
to me of what we do not want to become,
lll\d my exik: (self-imposed or not) is my
protest agairist it.
A bit of painful history iJ necessary to
understand this !tandoff. For years facult y
and student senate committees wrestled and

wafficd on parkin&amp; policy for lbe Amhent
Campus. In spite of an ever-worsening
sit uation. their most creative sugestion was
to buikl a parkingaaragc. Finally, in the
abscnoe of consensus, the administralion
acted. Faculty loLs were designated &amp;nd
bumper sticken were required to separate:
studenu and faculty. There were numerous
1nafus, of course; e.&amp;.. most graduate
st udcnu ended up with faculty stickers.
even when these were sorted out, however ,
faculty memben could stiU not show up at
II Lm. and be assURd of a spot near..the

door to their. buildina. Clearly the system
wu Oawod and the outcry 10 end this
intolerable situation was peat. The system
-did have some advan._ lboup. If
percha.oc:e, you ·were dlivina a borrowed or
re.nted car without a sticker, or had a visitor
from off campus, you limply called Campus
Security to inform them and gjve them your
lic:e~~~e number, and lbe problem vanished.
With the addition of new programs to thtAmbenl Campus several yean ago. and the
fact that the number of can increased faster
lhan lbe number of parkin&amp; places. il
beca.me almost impossible 10 find a place
ncar the offtOC door after even 10 a.m . and
the clamor for changes incn:ued. President
Sample responded, as is his admirable
custom, by forming an advisory committee
of staff, faculty. and studenLs. Why such a
committee could be expected to succeed 10
view of the history of such efforts is hard to
imagine, but given the risk of unpo pular
so lutions to impossible problerm. who can
fault the decision to try?
The committee's recommendations were
many, ·and most if not all have been
impkmenled. One or the problems
ad._dresscd u primary appean to have been
the rampant abuse of facUlty sticken by our
colkques, some. of whom were cvc.n allowing their children to arab up all the
places near the door. The comittee solution:
Hangt.ap l One per customer. Remcm~r it
or else! Apparently no one remembered
how suc:ceufully hangtags worked for the

BuiTalo Bills. (Remember Bill Polian tryins
to direct traffiC.) Or perhaps the company
who used to make them for the Bills offered
a great price in a last ditch au.cmpt to stay
in business.
only a committee could have come: up
with such an ingenious solution. Never
mind that you practically have: to be

Now you miJht uk: lJ thi.J any way 10
run a univenity? Certainly not one where I
would like to be employed. What then
should b;.c tbe guidelines for a aood parking
policy? A good policy must nol encourage
or require people to cheat or stay home. A
good policy should i01pire compliance by
iu rcasonablencu and iLs sensitivity to
needs of the community it aovems. A good
policy must not unduly burden those who
aca:pt it while trying to contain the amall
amount of abuse which wi11 occ.ur because
or the unavoidable presence or irresponsible
members of the community. And finally, a
good policy should not forget its objectives:
m this case, to ensure equal and fair ac:c:ess
to the available parking places, not to
ensure the display of the UB logo.
In conclwion, I will remain hl -"exile until

President Wqncr. Perhaps together we can
convince them that they can hide behind the
recommendations of their faculty
committees (u opposed to our elected
bodies) only wben those recommendations
are good ones. And in the process we can
make a smaJJ contribution toward rcstorina
the honest. con,enial~ and non-adverurial

Dangerous jobs: a case. of 'like father, like son'?

T

he mo re hazardous a n occ up ati o n , the more likely sons are to

Paul Leigh, an economist at San J ose
State University, who determined the

follow their fathers in that
occup ation . a UB resea rch er
has found .

a nnual probability of death in 347 blueand white~ollar occupations based on
the Bureau of Labor Statistics workers

But, while ihere are a dis proportionate
number of nonwhites in hazardous

co mpensation cases.

occupations, they are less likely to follow
in their fat ben' footsteps than an: whites,
notes Joan D. Mahoney, a doctoral stu~ent in the UB School of Management.
This finding may indicate that minority
hiring practices are not ensuring permanent gains, Mahoney says.
In a paper, "Dangerous Footsteps: An
Examination of lotergcneratiooal Occupational Inheritance," which won Mahoney the Lyman Porter Award from the
Academy of ·Management, she looks at
the risks of varioua occupations and the
tendency. of sons to take the same jo!&gt;
paths u their fathen.
Mahoney presented the paper Aug_ 14
at the annual meeting of the Academy of

Muqement. .
The occupational risks tbat Mahoney
used in her study were. calc:ulated by J.

She also used data from the General
Social Survey conducted for the
National Data Program for the Social
Sciences, which is part of the National
Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicaao. The data covered the
yean 1974-Jm, 1980, and 1982-1987.
examiniog .the tendency of so.ns to
Istudy
follow fathen into the workplace, the
looked at a number of factors in
0

addition to probability ,of death on the
job, including income, marital status,
education, aod race.
~ahoney found that the more dan-

gerous an occupation, the more likely a
sop is to follow his father in that oCcupation. She surniiscs that the familial connection - what· she calls the jobpenooality...oc:ialization liokqe - may
explain this phenomenon. Men who do

hazardous wo rk talk abo ut their jobs
and how to control dangerous job sltua.tio ns at home, so their so ns do not per-

ceive the jobs as being life-threatening.
..Their aversion to risk is reduced ," she
says.

Mahoney adds that the theory of
compensating wages - individuals who
choose risky jobs tend to have little aversion to risk or view the wage u sufficient
to comP.,nsate them for taking the risk
- must not be discounted when discussing why men enter hazardous occupa- '
lions. But she believes it is not as important a factor as the job-personality.;socialization linkage.
Other findings of the study indicate
that:
.
• The higher the income associated
with the occupation, the more likely a
son will follow his father in a job.
• Martied men have a greater tendency to join their fathers in their
occupations.
• The more education a son has, ~he
less likely be Will be to follow in his
father's occupational footsteps.

• Whites are more likely to follow in
their fathers ' occupations than nonwhites.
While some minorities.may be making
social and o&lt;:cupa{iooal gains due to
equal employmeoi opportunity legiSlation and minority hiring regulations,
their. sons are not tatirig the same route,
Mahoney notes. She outlines a likely
scenario in which a father holds a job
·that his son bas little chance of getting,
thereby stifling any occupational
following_
Thus, "The battles woii and benefits
reaped by fathen may not be passed
alooa to sons. Each new' generation of
nonwhites may be caught in a revolving
door, gaining acceu to IQIDC occupations

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>

"There were some slijdcnis' who caaipcd outiide ..
Being summer, they chose t&lt;&gt;, but we don\ encourqe it."
said Susan Eck, registrar in the Ofli~ of Records and
Registration . Even though early qucuitlg for courses is
not encouraged, "if I were an undergraduate, and I ·
needed a course, I would" wait in such lines, Eck said.
Last Thursday, the drop/ add lines were running two,
three, and four hours, students at the RAC said.
However, no amount of waiting wiiJ get students into
some courses.

Up rc-u:gistration pretty much took all of the high-

demand seats," Eclc. said . ..There are some
courses open now but they are generally not the courses .
everyone is looking for. ••

Eck said the drop/ add lines have been reduced since
the first day. "We had a very busy Thursday, but Sun~ay
was light traffic and today (Monday) is very manageable
traffic."
As of Monday, the lines were running about 30 inin-

utes at the RAC and 18 to 20 minules at Hayes. "The
lines arc looking just like fall of '88 on the first day of
class, which means it's going to be light but constant ."
Credit-wise, Eck seemed to think that there might still
be a run on drop / add. "The freshmen and sophomores
have the same average credit hours as last year bUt jun- _

iors and seniors are down a liule bit."' On Thursday, she·
had predicted longer drop / add lines as a result.
.. Our fears did not come true (with respect to the
decreased credit hours causing longer lines), but the
courses arc still not there , although they're catching up,"

Eck said . She added that this credit gap could cause
Increased drop / add waits.

Las t Thursday. the lines were up to four-and-a-half
ho urs. "This is the biggest pain," commented one
soph /
rc: from Queens.

A

riOt her girl proclaimed that .. There is light at the .
end of the tunnel ," as she rounded t.he comer' into
the room where drop / add was situated.
Some day. these lines may be only a memory, Eck
said . .. People on campus know that I am the first one on

campus who wants touch-tone drop / add ." This system,
she explained . has been employed by several other universities . It consists of using a touch-tone phone to enter
the student's name and course information .
"It would allow students to drop / add from their
homes, probably during the intersession ," Eck said .

Of course. touch-tone drop /add could as easily be
done from a student's dorm room. Madison Boyce,
director of housing, said that although the dorms are

overbooked by 300 spaces at this poin\, "that's in anticipation of a similar number of no-shows.
"Our plan is to be at 100 per cent occupancy after we
count the number of no-shows," he said.

occupied by other undergrac!uates, and there arc 200
gradu.ate students with on~pus housing. There .are
also 167 resident advisors, or approximately 33 students

per R.A.
That means that almost three-fourths of the freshmen
are dorm students. Jeffrey Dutton . director of institutional studies, said the University is ..expecting to enroll ..

approximately 2,700 freshmen and 2,400 transfer students, down from 2,872 and 2,807. respectively, last year.

LaMarche warned students that "nothing goes by faster
than yo ur four years of college." He urged them to
become involved in the 11\Yriad of student activities.

Pro~ William Greiner told the new students tliat
not only are they shaped by the University, but the

he S~bool of Medicine and

Medical Center have received a
S3.4 miltion federal grant to establish a
Positron Emission Tomography (PEl)

The PET Imaging Center - which

of the most advanced in tilt world.

The balance of the S 12 million cost of

Because of its unique ability to
visualize and quantify complex physiological processes occurring in the human
body, PET imaging has potential for
important advance~ in the understanding
and treatment of major ailments ,
including heart disease, stroke, cancer,
epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease.
"We will be offering an imaging

Budget. crunch hits graduate student tuition scholarships
hree new policies will be
implemented by the Graduate
School this semester in order to
. minimize the continuing deficit
in the UB tu ition scholarship fund .
Administrators say these important
changes, affecting the deadline for application, amount of reimbursement, and
New York Stale residency, are necessary
and urgent, the result of a reduction in
the University's scholarship allocation
from SUNY Central.
"It is important to understand thai
every schol81'1hip represents an actual
cost to the University that must be paid,"
said Judith Albino, associate "provoSt
and dean of the Graduate School.
~we arc expected to generate a certain
amount of revenue from tuition, yet at
the same time the number of supported
students on grants has increased dtamaticaUy," Albino explained.
wThough we have traditionaUy given
fuU tuition scbol81'1hips to tea&lt;:bing.
graduate, and research assistants with
grants, the current budget situation
raises questions as to what we can now

T

afford. It is a matter of using tuition
schol81'1hips as wisely as we should ."
The first change is really only a stricter
enforcement of an existing deadline: No
tuition scholarship verifteation forms
will be accepted in the Graduate Scbool
office after Sept. 8, 1989, the last day of
drop/ add for tbe faU semester.
· Those appointed as assistants after
Sept. 8 cannot receive tuition scholarships for the semester in progress,
though schol81'1bips can be transferred
from one ·student to another in the case
of a resignation. Because of the need to
plan a reliable budget, there will be no
~xc~plions to this policy, Albino
emphasized.
The second modification was developed by lbe Graduate School policy
review committee to meet last year's
deficit: Mit iJ the policy of the University
al Buffalo to provide a fuU tuition scholarship for _each graduate assistant
and/ or fellpw as recommended by his or
her appropriate dean,' up to the, total
required credits specified by the student's
registered degree pr"'J'8m.

.. These maxi ma for doctoral and master's programs shall be reduced by any
transfer credits that are applied to a st udent 's graduate program."

T

his means tuition scholarships for
doctoral students would be typically
limited to 72 credit hours, and those for
master's students to 36 hours. Mit abo
means students will need better advising
to make the most of a streamlined degree
program," Albino said.
Finally, it iJ being recommended thai
out-of-state students apply for New York
State residency. Albino claimed the
second· major out-of-state tu.itioo
increase in as many years will make those
scholarships nearly three times u expensive as those awarded at Ihe in-stale rate.
"This is uodel'1taDdably di.ffteult 10
comm"unicate . to graduate st'udents,"
Albino continued. "They don\ nece.sarily care'if tht State is paying in or out-ofstate tuition. But ""idency IJI&amp;kes a large
difference in terms of bow many 's tudents
c'an be supported. We hope to oa-.e the
equivalent of 8S scbolanhips by uraing

students to apply for stale ""idency;
otherwise we will have to begin granting
these students no more than one or two
se mesters at the out-of:.state rate, as
other SUNY centers 'IJ'C now doing."
Those students who have resided in
New York State for 12 months and those
who caD demonstrate an intention to
reside here for the foreseeable future will
meet the usual requirements for residency. Applications mailed to students
over the summer can be delivered lO the
Oflice of Student Aceounts, Hayes B:
ln the future, UB will wort with
SUNY so that aU gradUate studenb pay
in-stiuc tuition....We expect to bave a
dericil of $300,000 to SSOO,OOO, hopefully
on, the lower end u a result of the residency issue," said Albino. She added that
one day, students on grants will probably
pay a portion of their iiiltion u 'is done
at comparable univeniticl.

In UB's Publications Office, the pace

But this year, the Office is missing its
longtime chief, Bob Marlell, who just
retired as executive editor after 29 years
of pruning copy, overseeing budgets, and
beating deadlines.

After taking early retirement, Marlett

Legendary for his long hours on the

brought to his work intellectual curiosuy. urbanity, and a sensi tivity often hidden beneath the gruff ex ter.ior. He could
spot good writing, knew well the world
of prinl and production, and could pinpoint what made a piece visually strong.
.. Bob is really the consummate professional, .. said University Archivist Shonnie Finnegan... He understood everything about the publications business
from a management and a hands-on
perspective. Not only is he a terrific writer - . ab le to combine accurlcy with a
lively style - be also knew everything
about layout, printing, and quite a bit

Marlett oversaw a vast array of publications at UB, but his favorite was the

di verse of audiences anywhere," Finnegan noted . ... think it's a real tribute to
his professionalism and his dedication to
a very high standard of excellence ' that
the Reporter achieved such credibility."
" In working with Bob and the Reporler. we all felt a certain degree of enthusiasm. largely due to his example and
dedication," said Jean Shrader, Marlell's
secretary and the Reporter :r calendar
editor who retired in July. "When tbe
Reponer received one of its recognition
awards, we felt so proud and Bob always
arranged for dinners to celellratelhe
occasion.'"

A

ssociate Art Director Rebecca
Farnham added: "I n:member the
first time I laid out the Reporter witb
him. I was· so n·e rvous, my hinds were

fter sraduat.ina from Southorn Misaiaippi, Marlett worked oa a dally
ncw~paper in Bristol, VA., and then wu
drafted into the army, when: be ocrved
thn:e years in tbc counterintelliaaa:
corps.
.
Arriving at·.U B in 1960, Marlett wu
first auistantto the then director of University relations, Leo Muller, who bad
been his professor at Southern MiNis. 5ippi. .. A ·year or two later, when it
beeaine evident that they were going to
merge with the State, most of the guys
from PR and fund-raising leTt and they
gave me the title of director of University
relations," Marlett said in an interview.
In 1964, Mllrlellleft UB to work on a
~ master's degree in history at St. Louis
University, returning to UB the next
year. "Then I did the alumni publications
for awhile. Then the director of Univer·
sity relations left again and they put me
back in that job. Then (President Martin) Meyerso n came, and they split tbe
director of University relations (position)
into two jobs: Publications and News
Bureau. and gave me Publications .
" In 1969, I decided I'd go back to
school, and left for about a semester. I
came back to do the Reporter in 1970
and did that until 1982, when I bec8me
director of publications."
When Marlell joined the University, it
was a small, private schooJ with only
about 8,500 students. "Tbv"hole t&gt;ud_get
fo r University Relations was $2,700 for
the whole year. Now it is about $700,000
f'l&gt;r Pulilications alone."
Asked to assess his years here, Marlell
responded: .. There was always some
. :cball•nge. It was always so timeconsuming that I dido~ think about what
was coming beyond the deadline.
"TI)e Reporter made that 18 years go
by like the bunt of an eye. Then: was
something new and fresh every week.
You could bold it together in your band
at week's end."
In June, Marlell was honot:ed by the
president and later was saluted at an
office party when: he was presented with
· a book of 60 tribut .. from colleagues,
former and current-students, printers, an
directors, writers, faculty, and office personnel. Some notes were formal , others
were wry - even outlandish .- .mlssives
displaying affection and humor.- Many
drew pictures or inserted their favorite
photos gathered over tbc years.
It was beller than any gift be could
have received, Marlett said quietly. Then
he left for his new home amid the sweet .
magnolias, the memories of UB still vivid
0
in his mind.

A

-• n·.editOr's
fine legacy
Bgb Marlett of PUblications retires;
leaves ~einopes of warmth, diligence
shaking. He could be very intimidating if
he wanted to, but at that same time, be
could be a real pussy cat. I've always
admired and respected him.
, Faculty, too, apprtj:iated the liveliness
of his publications and !Us acknowledgement of their scholarship and
research efforts. He bad a reverence for
the University's past and this, too, came
across in his work.
Said ·Emeritus Professor of Sociology
Constantine Yeracaris: "I was really
impressed by•his wo!'derful, warm receptivity to all the membc'l' of the academic
community, establi•bing excellent -relations, being patient, and in many
respects providing the best possible help
in communi..cating wbatev:er those
members wanted to have p1,1blished in
the Rt!porter."

.. He was one of the most creative people I've ever worked with at UB," said
Stei!ben Dunnett, associate provost for
international-programs. "He also had a
very high standard and I respected him
for that. ~othing in that area ever went
off his desk without being perfect. He
would ,drive me crazy with his fastidiousness, with respect to gelling things
right.
_.. He was very sensitive and understanding about people of other cultures
even though I don~ think he traveled
much himself. As a result, the articles
that the R~porter carried in the international area were on target. I think they
were also verY diplomatic and tactful,
because we dealt witb racial problems,
cultural conflicts, very sad stories like
China and Iran. The foreign T A issue
was another topic.

in cliques or c0nfror;ttation.
The new o.QJirman of the
Faculty · sena~ approves a
style of leadership that stresses consensus
and cooperation among the UB faculty
and administration.
Miller notes that the Faculty Senate
performs an important function in that
"we have an administration that docs
listen to the opinions and comments (o£.
the faculty)." Faculty government is, in
Miller's view, necessary Co carry out the
mponsibilities of the University because
mcmben .. are here for a lifetime- and an
academic leader cannot simply be an
admiliistrator.
The consensus approach is, accordin&amp;
to Miller, more fruitful than the gritty
aod confrontational style employed by
h.is predecessor, John Boot.
''I 'm not a believer in . . personality
cults," Miller states, emphasizing that
the advice given to the University administration is only as good as the work that
goes into the process. Miller would like·
to sec a greater role for committee work •
in t!&gt;c;:Faculty Senate. He findtthe-.consensus approach useful in that it allows
for full discussion and input from the
faculty while avoiding the problem of
having committee work dominated by a
few j&gt;eople "with an ax to grind . ~
As Miller sees it, discussion and participation would take place through series
of thought and review levels where fmh
ideas would be welcomed with overall
direction maintained.
However, be recognius that the consensus approach cannot work as weJI
without faculty inp ut. "If the faculty
don't come forward to serve on committees aod as senators, then the whole thing
(the senate) is run by a group of people
who keep coming around," be says.
The old ideas and established participants still serve a useful purpose, Miller
says, but he wants to encourage new
input and discussion. He would like to
t"" ~ore faculty members come'forward
to serve on the senate because without
new bloOd, the senate remains "an old
boys and old jprls club."
The prospects for new recruitment
look promilina. In addition, Miller is

here are two gen&lt;ral issues f"§ina
UB that require action, in Miller's
view: academic dishonesty in tbe scienoes
and the generational turnover in faculty
appointments.
Miller notes that there is now
nationwide concern over
i.uue of
data falsification in scientific research.
He argues that the problenr stems primarily from the "publish or perish" philosophy in which accuracy and verification
become secondary to academic promotion. In an attempt to remedy this grave
concern, a "position paper" has been
developed by both the Faculty Senate
and Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Research Donald Rennie.
The response to the position paper
from members of the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee has ranged,
according to Miller, "from total approval to outright fury" given that the
administration is ·~ng as judge, jury.
and accuser ... in Miller's view.
Conversely, tbe position of the UUP
(United University Professions) is that
dishonesty j.o a management matter only.
From Miller's perspective, there is a clear
desire to work from the position paper,
while sAtisfying both tbe UUP and the
faculty at large. Indeed, academic dis-

honesty is ... not onJy a management issu ~
but also-an academic/ faculty issue," said
Miller.
To tacldethe problem of generational
turnover among the UB faculty, Miller
believes -that plans must be put in place
before the crisis hits sometime during the
next decade. The stress, he states, should
be on fostering a balance between
mearch and teaching whereby good
teachen - who do not necessarily bring
in large amounts of research dollars will still hav'e a place to baog their hats in
the university environment.
his is important, in Miller's words,

Miller admits in a genial manner that
his two "weaknesses" are gardenina and
Scottish country dancing. At bis
Parkside area borne Miller has ao
" intensively" modeled and designed
garden that keeps him busy throuah the
spring and summer.
However, his real passion is Scottish
country dancing. Miller recently
completed a two-year term as chair of .
the Teachers Association of Canada
which is associated with the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society based in
Edinburgh, Seotland. MUier teaches
dance locally anci participates in folk and
ethnic dances held throughout North
America.
Scottish country dancing, as Miller
acknowledges , " keeps me out of
mischief, keeps me fit, and keeps me
slim.... He is also involved with the
Niagara Frontier Folk Arts Council and
teaches Scottish dancing primarily to
adults. Scottish country dancing is a
global phenomenon and Miller's spare
time is spent traveling throughout
Western New York. and Southern
Ontario as a participant.

�Pluralisl]l: facing up to
4

By JEFFREY TREBB
Repor18&lt; SlaH

he new American Pluralism
course designed to alert students to forces creating cultural
disunity begins a four-semester
pilot program this fall . If successful , the
course would join World Civilization u
pilots likely to be incorporated into a
core curriCulum.
.. World Civilization is in essence a
study of global diversity . American Pluralism has a more national flavor, but we
see both as mtegrated parts of the cur·
riculum, not as isolated pieces ... said William Fischer. UB professor of English
and the new chair of the English
Department .
Fischer is also the outgoing chair of
th e committee responsible for styling the
American Pluralism co urse. " It really
began with the founding of the Undergraduate COllege three yea rs ago," he
expls.ined.
.. At the time. some of us. many of us
now teaching the course. were interested

T

in aspects that would add to the ' nontraditional.' We foc:wcd then on feminists and minority lJsues, our efforts
evolving into l. subcommittee of the curriculum committee.
"Eventually, after a great deal of output from outside, the course became
broadened to the point . whe"' it will
examine what we consider to be the five
basic components of pluralistic society:
r"ace , gender, ethnicity", class , and
religion ...
As scores of curriculum debates acro5.5
the country attest; higher ed ucation
alread y is movi ng with some urgency in
this direction. Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education John Thorpe called
pluraJism the "major challenge facing
ed ucation today.
"It 's a fact of life that demographics
are changing, that the proportion of
min orities is steadilYincreasing. Roughl y
one-t hird of school age citizens are

and academi c opponunities available
here .
This year. special effons will be made
to anvolve commuter. internationaJ and
non- traditional students.

The fourth annual September Welcome began last Friday in Slee Hall with
President Steven B. Sample's convoca·
ti oo and Provost Wllliam Greiner's
address to new students and their parents. Afterward, Playfair, a traveling
troupe of actors, helped students meet
each other during the chicken barbecue.
Other activities also serve to introduce
students to one another. Friendship 101
and Wellness tables were held this week
in Alumni Arena. An adult student and
veterans' reception will be held on Sept.
~

'

"This is a new part of September Welcome," said Clarence Dye, UB coordinator of veterans affairs. " We,l have brochures and people on hand to answer
questions on topics such as veterans
benefiu. It's also a chance for us to meet
with the large group of adult studenu,
find out what their needs are and what
we can do to help them. "
Sept. 7 is Commuter Day. Student
Life Associate Ed l!rodka insisted it is
important to ..get commuter ..etudents
linked up to the University. We'll have a
b"'akfast and later, tables with information on off-campua bo!JSing, parking,
and commuter affain in general. Then:'s
a free car wash for commuter students
across from the Center for Tomorrow
intended as . a recognition of their
significance. •
ntematiooal Day, Sept. 12, will feature a panel discuuion, moderated by
Philip Altbacb, on student activism
around the w.o rld. Representatives from
mo"' than :70 c&lt;iuatrlea will be present.
A three-&lt;lay -JI!'Oil'IID be~ Sept.

Kennedy will del iver the keynote
presentation.
Of course, academic life will be
emphasized. Departmental open houses
wiU be coordinated with September
Welcome Bnd tours of the professional
sc hools will be offered. There will be two
career exploration days , Sept. 19 and 20.
as welt as workshops on study motiva ~
tion, note taking, and exams.
Peter Gold, associa\te vice_provost for
undergraduate education, s&amp;Id that tours
of the medical school, Earthquake Center, Music and Art Departments were
"set up to get students to ex'plo"' the
campus with some academic focus, to
build on their interest, and offer them a
chance to gather career infoi-mation. The
open house allows students, faculty, and
staff to meet in an informal setting. In
each case someone from Career Planning will be present with a display on the
particular field .•
In addition to meeting one another
and becoming more familiar with campus resources, students can become
acquainted with Buffalo and Western
New York. Sept. 6 is Community Day.
Several bus tours of downtown Buffalo
and an exhibit on the local area are
scheduled.
There will also be a wide variety of
traditional September Welcome events.
Sporting events and movies are
included. Music lovers can attend a Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concert
Sept. 27 or catch the Coffee and Classics
performances in the Lockwood foyer.
The UB Jazz and Wind Ensembles and
th~ Woodwind Quintet will hold open
rehearsals. Mid-&lt;lay concerts at Founders Plaza will feature pop, folk, and jazz.
The abundance of activity may seem
confusing to the new student, but the
heavy schedule is really a testament to
the diversity of ·entertainment and
information ben:. Still, to help orient
students, the office of student life wiU
have trained representatives wallcing the
campus "'ady to answer any inquiries
students may bave. The student life
representatives can be identified by a pin
bearing the September Welcome logo.
Weekly calendars showing the times
and !!)Cations of all events will be distributed tbroupioutlbe lfnivenity. Students can also check the Rtporter for

and technology pipeline and see that
white males alone won' be able to meet

"But even in terms of general relations
and the health of our society, a better
understanding of the constituent parts is
needed. The country cannot afford col· lege graduates uninformed about major
issues or unawire of pluralism's potential benefits. •
ischer agreed that !lemographics
offer the most convincing argument
for th•e course, claiming that .. minority

American Piuralism , he said , thus has
a practical and functional rat ionale in
addre ssi ng a socia l reality . " In a
busines s~riven republic. leaders will
have to understand th ose they serve,

cultural fluency. •
Five sec:tions of the course will be
offered each of the next four semesters.
This fall Jeannelle Ludwig and Jorge

John Mohawk of American Studies, and
Fred See of English will teach UGC 211 .
American Pluralism. (Sec inset.)
Because it was importan t that those
teaching the course be se nsitive to a variety of issues and because " th is couldn'
happen just by wishing it would
happen,· these faculty ~nt the su mmer
in workshops ftnalizing ·structural facets
of the course and methods of presenta_tion , accor!lj.na to Thorpe.
"Each PrOfesSdr will be covering an
enormous amount of ground in a relatively short perio3 of time so the workshops aimed at pulling the ultimate
mandate for the class into a coherent
format ," said Fischer.
As it stands, one·third of the course
will co nsist of common readings covering the five ch!lsen components of pluralism. The remainder is left to the disc Fe~
tion of the instructor who most likely
will treat several of the basic components
in g"'ater depth from the perspective of
his or her discipline.
Those involved praised the interdisci plinary nature of the course. ..It's
pragmatic in that ultimately we11 need
many instructors . The arrangement
allows us· to depend on their expertise ....
said Fischer.

F

M

cacham pointed out that ... almost
every other course at the University is 'owned' by some department that
establishes the legitimate questions and
the framework . With contributors in
fields from Law to English, American
Pluralism is unusual.
.. It's open ended, experimental , even
chaotic in not having a si ngular framework . As yet , there are no correct
answers, since this is the first time American· Pluralism is being offered at U B,
and, with one or two exceptions, the first
time throughout the nation ."
Other universities have instituted pluralism requirements by creating a list of

CHANDELIER
from unfel!!Ored condition and finish it.
It was pitch black. It was not talcen
care of because of how high it was; no
one could keep it up, and it was heavily
coated with lacquer and varnish
(applied) in hopes tbatlhis wou)d
p.--rve it. I would say that 40 of the
hours wen: spent just stripping the
lacquer ofT the 20 arms.•
·
The refurbished cbande!ien already
are collectina ra"" reviews. "The very
next day after tbe'iint chandelier was
installed," ulii History of Medicine
Librari.m Lilli sCntz., "one of the

L

courses, Thorpe said, UB differt in creating a single cou...., covering all five areas,
providing studenu with a common experience and facititatina the monitori~g of
the course.
Thorpe added that . American Pluralism would receive continual and significant evaJ uation in the form of student
surveys and written assessments by the
fac ulty. " We,l have frequent discusaions
with the teachers. We maY even make
mid~ourse corrections on the basis of
this anecdotal evidence,· he said .
Quite similarly, the anthology of base

"'adings being developed in conjunction
with the course is expected to expand
and undergo revision as a res ult of classroom experience.
Thorpe suggested that "we,l soon discover what literature is most approprJate
and accessible, a critical ste~ for the
replication of this course on other camPI!."''· S jnce we've already been _contacted by other institutions and asked for
advice, I think the anthology could make
a wonderful model.·

T

he list of course faculty for next
semester is already complete. Many
others have volunteered to teach Ame rican Pluralism in a future semester.
For Meacham, who will soo~ replace
Fischer as head of the American Pluralism subcommittee, the chiss offers a learning experience. "In my panlcular case, as
a white maJe, the course is about selfdiscovery,· he said.
.. In order to know who you are, you
have to know who you are not. I'm having my students learn as much as possible about each other to enrich their own
lives ...
Meacham mentions a Miami newspaper anicle wondering bow the voting
of "non-Latin whites" would affect an
election. He said he found the phrase
curious, having considered his English
background as the standard against
which others differ.
" Yet England is a rather small island
compared to the enormous Latin population across the world. To victims of

..Our concern wu to preserve as much as we could,
and the chandeliers were a

they were originally in."
In a charming coincidence,
the mother of Edwanf
Marlette's wife, Norma, was
' the longtime-uaistant to
Cbarlca D. Abbott, director
of Univenity Libraries from
1934 ~o 1960. .Her name was
lvah P. Swccncy.
The restoration work was

Kiener. He noted, too, that
the chandelien have been

music-making in a fabled

shine above .students and
rcsoarchen poring over books
in the Health Sciences
Library.
By rnid..SCptember, visitors
to the HSL's main reading
room will be able to sec resto red twin antique chandeliers
believed to date from the
1840s. Robert L. Brown,
M.D., associate professor of
medicine emeritus and a
member of the medical
school's class of 1944, made
the restoration pouible
through a donation to the UB
Foundation.
The silver-plated flXIurcs
came to the HSL as part of
the original furnishings of the
old Lockwood Library, which
opened in 1935 and W85
designed by Edward B.
Green, also the architect for
the John J . Albri~ht house, a
huge Tudor mansiOn on West
Ferry Street.
These chandeliers once
dominated the Albrights'
music room. but were moved
in the 1930s when the Albright
estate was broken up, after
the family suffered ftnan&lt;:ial
reversals. Originally candle
chandeliers, they were electrified when brought to the old
Lockwood. The mansion,
built at the turn of the century, was torn down in the
1930s.
Albright, a pioncc'r in the
development of electric power
and automobile manufacture,
gave more than a million dollars for the construction of
the Albright An Gallery.
While hardly a Morgan, he

grandson, "symbolic of the

"We assume that Gn:en,

was.respoillible for moving

Brown. He added that when
the old Loclcwood Library

Health Science~
A computer sc:arch, which
generally takes leu than liO
minutes, can provide, for
instance, ioumal. book or
repon rd'erences on a
i&gt;anicular subject that might
have taken hours to locate in
printed indexes. ID a maner
of min~~~e~ a list of articles on
a topic such as "AIDS in
women" can be printed out
from the computer. The same
search, done manually, might
have inYDlved scanning
thousands of articles in a
printed index. Besides lhe
speed of computer searching.
there are other advantages.
Many computer sean;hes
proVJde shan summaries of
anicles. The information
retrieved is often more
current than printed index
sources. ComputeT searches
can look for works by a
specific author, search Jar
government documeru., find
facts., and even retrieve
information on research in
progress.

A computer search is the
answer to many questions but not all. In cases where
only a few items arc needed
or the material sought is on a
more curTent than very broad
topic, the printed indexes,
card catalog, or standard
reference sources are as
effici ent and effective as a
computer search.
For an searches, some time
must be spent deciding on a
" str.~~egy" with a reference
librarian - preparif1!' for the
search by carefully designing
the search question. In some
cases, a.s.si.stance and/ or
instruction will be given so
that you can conduct your
own search, or the search
may be completed by a
librarian. Fees may be
charged and will vary

:~~~gAuGm~~ea::o~~
of free searching is avai labl&lt;
in some UB Libraries.
Becawe eligibility vari'es.
consult a reference librarian
who can direct you to the
most appropriate sources and
explain requirements and
costs.

other itenu published on a
~lar basis (i.e., monthly.

in one or more of Lhe UB

There .,.., about 65,000
titles in the Ubl'2ries; it's
easier to use the Union l.i5t
of Serials than to browse
throul!h II libraries and
65,000" titles looking for the
one journal that you need for
your wont!
The Union Ust of Serials is
available in all UB Ubraries,
wually located near the card
cataiOjf. One notice3&gt;1e
dilfe,..,nce beTween the card
catalog and the Union Ust is
that the Union Ust is printed
on microfiche. Enuies an'
listed alphabetically in
columns on the microfiche
cards. The information
included in the Union List of
Serials will answer some basic
questions:
• Which library h as th e
journal needed?
• Which library has the
particular volume o f the
JOUrnal?

•Is the journal available
on paper, microfiche o r
microfilm?

If the UB Ubraries do not
have the item you are loolting
for, there is still aQ.~er
Union List that can~
checked - the Western New

                  <text>The UB &lt;em&gt;Reporter&lt;/em&gt; began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, &lt;em&gt;Colleague&lt;/em&gt;, 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: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;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.</text>
