The plan to cut back by about 7,000 dovetails. to a certain extent. with the ex pected drop in high school enrollment m the State.

S S U ' Y C han cello r U. Bruce J ohn· stone told the As~oc1ated Press in June that administrators are taking st,eps to prevent individual campuses from enrolling more students than they had planned .

Johnstone said his office is now' dis· cussing "slight adjustments" to campus plans with selected schools. He added : ..

As our admi ssio ns acceptances and retent ion rates have increased." J ohn stone told the Trustees. "the gap between actual and budgeted enroll me nts has "While working to reduce enrollment here long-term, UB will exceed its targets this fall. ... become a source of tension in campuses' ability to maintain the level of services for students. .. Yet the potential loss of resources that would n::sult from under-enrollment has led campuses to want to err on the high side rather than ri sk. serving fewer students than their budgeted goals." The present SUNY plan, he continued, is .. to achieve a clearer and more predictable understanding of how the relationship between enrollments and tuition reven ues will be handled in years when tuition revenues exceed expectations .. "Po licies are being put into place which will encourage over·enrolled campuses to bring ac tual and planned enrollment s into greate r concurrence, .. the chancellor stated . These would involve incen tives for campuses th3t achieve from 98 to I02 per cent of their enrollmen t goals. according to a SUNY policy st tement. "This planned reduction is designed to fit our enrollment levels more closely to an ti cipa ted demographic changes, and more importantly. to directly address resource problems ... t UB. Vice Preside nt for Universi ty Services Robert J . Wagner commented: .. When we know we're enrolled over budget, it is the result of many factors . These include a better yield of students we made offers to and the Universi ty's generally improved attractiveness to students - at both the graduate and undergraduate levels." Through "a careful and planned way," said Wagner, UB hopes to reduce its current actual enrollments and bring them in line with budgeted targets. " We will be again over-enrolled in the coming academic year. However. we expect that over-enrollment to be less than the overen rollment of I 988-89 ."

The laboratory function of the shuttle IS important to Rokitka because it gives researchers. suc h as herself. a means by which to stud y the effects of weightless· ness on humans, among other organisms. II T T he shuttle is not the first project in which NASA has st udied human reactio n to space. Rokitk a took her a udi ence back to the beginning of the Project Mercury. space program Before Mercury. it wasn 't a given that a human could survive any amount of time in space. ''Lots of questions. very basic science questions. were answe red during these one-man flights." In addition, data was take n through· out the Gemini and Apollo programs. ..These three projects, Mercury, Gemin i. and Apollo. showed that man could survive for extended periods of time in micro-gravity ... Skylab took the research several steps further - "to really be certain that long periods of night (in space) could be successfully endured. " Currently, the shuttle's Spacelab is used for studying life in space. Spacelab, which sits in the cargo bay of the shuttle, ..contains noor to ceiling racks jam-packed with the most sophisticated equipment available today," Rokitka explained. Rokitka is well acquainted with SpaceJab's racks. She is a member of a team the exhalations of the as tr o naut ~ . "We will not perform cardiac puncture . we will not catheterize the individual, but rather we will use a fairly so phis· ticated set of equations to take a look at how gases that are re-brea th ed at the mouth can be used to get a p ictu r~ or a profile of what happe ns in the lun gs" and the ca rdi ovascular system. she said. headed by Leon Farhi, chair of Physiology, which has an experiment flying on a n August 1990 sh uttle night. The equipment they are using is built into one of these racks. "The mission is called the SLS· I mission for 'Spacelab Life Sciences': it's the first but hopefully will be followed by at least two other missions of this sort that are on the drawing board right now," Rokitka said. The entire night, she noted, will be devoted to life sciences and "will have nothing to do with the growth of crystals, . . nothing to do with astronomy or measurements in space. ••Not to say that those are not important, but it will have everything to do with how living things cope with zero G." T he experiment that Rokitka is involved with concerns the cardia· vascular health of the astronauts. Four of the seve n astronauts - two mi ssion specialists and two payload specialists will take turn s on an exercise bike, working at various levels of maximum performance . Data taken on their exhalations will be used to compute the rate of blood now through the astronauts' hearts. "We hope to be up there a total of eight days. I say we, even though I am not one of the seven crew members. because I feel as if I, too, will be there at least in spirit," Rokitka said . The experiment looks at the blood now in comparison to both pre-flight and post-night standards. The technique is completely non-invasive; no needles are used or blood samples taken, only he problem of cardiova scular deconditioning. which th is experi· ment is looki ng at. involves the heart's adjustment to zero gravity and its subse· quent readjustment upon return to eanh. The effects of cardiovascular decondi· tioning are not f~lt until the astronaut return s. At th at point, blood tend s to pool in his / her legs because during the spacetrip, the body's methods of pulling blood back up out of the legs into the hurt ar~ " unlearned ." But ca rdiovascular deconditioning is not the only health problem that astro· nauts suffer as a resuh of space flight. Other maladies include space motion sickness. bone demineralization. nasal, si nus. and ear co ngestion . diuresis (fre· que nt urination). and distension of the veins in the head and neck . .. During the early flights , when astronauts were co ntained in space suits, (di uresis) was . a severe problem: we're now talking about major catheterization problems, major bag volume problems,.. Rokitka said. NASA has decided that a manned trip to Mars is a goal worth pursuing. However, it is yet unknown whether such a journey is survivable, given all of the physiological problems associated with space night, Rokitka said. " We still don' really know if man has what it takes to last through a one-and· a-half year night to Mars and then a one-and-a-half year return mission."' Rokitka noted that there are unlimited topics for research in space. "We're really at the covered wagon stage of space Qploration. We talk about space as if it were the final frontier, but all we know now is that it exists. We don't know a whole lot more." CD �August 3, 1989 Summer No.3 By ED KIEGLE GeHing ready for life at UB Repor1er StaH rcshman orientation is usually the ftnt n:al taste of the University that an incoming student gets. Although orienting a freshman to all of the nooks and crannies of U 8 is not easily done in three days. this year's orientation program seemed to run smoothly and successfully . Barbara Ricotta, coordinator of New Student Programs, described the various reasons for orientation at UB: .. We want to hc:lp freshmen feel comfortable in the new surroundings, and we want them to real ize the opportuniti~s here. both aca· demically and socially. .. It is a difficult transition from high F scho ol to the Unive~ity, and we want them to stan out on the right foot. and to feel welcome ... Ricotta added . This year, there were nine conferences of three days each, running from June 26 until the second of August. "ManY schools havt gont to a one-week program for everyone just before school starts, " Ricotta observed . "But we shied away from that idea because we wou ldn 't be able to give students the ind ividual atten tion the y need and deserve ... The largest of the nine conferences contained 295 students, and the smallest less than 200 . .. 1 prefer to have smaller groups, and admissions is accepti ng fewer students, .. Ricotta explained ... The nine conferences allow for more individual attention - we can address their fears and spend time talking in lounges eating pizza ... Overall, about 2200 students attended one of the conferences. T he Office of Student Life hired 16 student aides and 10 peer advisors to help organize activities for the orientation _program. Peer advisors were in charge of acade mic~riented activities, including registering the freshmen, and orientation aides were in charge of nonacademic and residential activities. ... became an orientation aide because I n:member all of the fun I had at my orientation, and 1 wanted to provide that 2200 fall freshmen came to campus this summer for a preview of how things work kind of fun for the students coming this year,.. said Jennifer Wozniak. ..The worse thing about the job is that it gets tiring after a few weeks, but I enjoyed talking to the students and bearing a sigh of n:lief when they lind out that it's not as bad as they may think - they can have fun at the University._:' I One of the less fulmling parts of an aide's job was rolling the students out of bed at 6:45 a.m. " I just went down the hall with my five-iron and knocked on the doors," said Den:k LaMarche. "No one wanted to get up tha\ early, but we had to be up to get them up - it works both ways." The aides stayed in the dorms and .. acted as a k.ind of security force ,.. according to Paul Crino, aide leader. "Peer advisors handled everything academic and acted as liaisons between the students and the advisors," said Marie Scinti, peer advisor leader . .. We got a lot of questions about what do do if a class is closed, and which are the best classes to take ... Ricotta was pleased with this year's staff. "There was a good rapport between the students and the staff," she said. "The aides '!nd peer advisors don' get paid very much, but it is one of the best growth experiences of their lives." The vast majority of the students, commuters included, resided in the Ellicott dorfns duriq,g orientation ... Ninety· eight per cent chose to stay in the dorms, in Fargo," said Ricotta. · T he activities that make up the busy orientation schedule are aimed at making the students feel comfortable both academically and socially. Among .. academic activities" are read- ing and math skills tests, which place each incoming student in the appropriate level of study in the required areas of English and math. There was also a faculty presentation for the students given by Charles Fourtner of Biological Sciences. According to Ricott a, th is is a change in format over past years, when diffen:nt facult\: members spoke to each group. conveying a different message . Fourtner "We want to help newcomers feel comfortable in their new setting." explained to students the responsibilities of faculty members, the responsibilities of students, and the difference between a high sc hool and college classroom. "Professors don' teach as much as the faculty do in high school," Fourtner told a group of freshmen and parents during his presentation July 26. "We do research, publish, teach no more than three classes per semester, and serve on various committees and in various functions in the University." Another activi.,, of primary importance to the students, is registration for the fall. For many students, it is the first try at an art that can probably never be perfected. "There were workshops on how to n:ad and fill out the schedule," Ricotta remarked ...This is the only time they wiJl get this kind of attention, so it's important." " I got most of my classes," said Leala Miskines. minutes after fi nis hin g her bout with the registrat ion computers in Alumni Arena. "All except for English and math . The best pan of the orien tation for me was the help with the schedule ." Students also meet with advisors. individ ually and in small groups of 15 to 20 . .. I met with my advisor, but I'm still a bit confused ... said one freshman from Queens. "I probably won' get all of the classes I've arranged to take. and I'm not sure about alternates." In addition, students sat thro ugh the American Council of Education survey of their attitudes and interests, watched presentations from Public Safety Officer Bill Brown and presentations by the aides on studenr life. and ~mended a student activities fair. Social activities during this year's orientation conferences included Alumni Arena night. Students had the chance to try va rio us athletic games. ··and to sec the facilities at the arena ... Ricotta said . Then there was the Monte Carlo night (or Las Vegas night, depending on the source) which Crino described as "basically dancing all night, gambling, not wi th real money, and a raffle at the end ... T here were very few problems at this summer's orientati on, according to Ricotta . .. More than eve r, students are taking it se riously ... she said . .. They have shopped around more for a college. They are more committed to coming to UB." According to Jerry Godwin. head resident , typical problems in the past have included consumption of alcohol despite the no~rinking rule, and disagreements between roommate~ "When freshmen come, they sign an agreement that says they will not co nsume alcohol," Godwin said. "We had only three or four incidents where students were bringing alcohol into the halls, and very few roommate problems." .. It is defin itely an improvement over last year," Ricotta n:marked happily. "Everyone seems to be working together. My one regn:t is that I don' have more time to spend with the freshmen , sitt ing in the lounges eating pizza...

I know if I would have stayed at home I would have never rowed a boat or toasted marshmallows over a bonfire on the heacb or made things in the shops." Quonset huts are at ground level to permit easy access for wheelchairs. These connect with an elaborate ramp system that leads to the beach, athletic field, and all activities. A tunnel under Old Lakeshore Road allows safe crossing, as the camp is located on both sides of the sticet. At the center of tbe camp is an inftrmary staffed by pan-time nurses. A doctor is always on call. kidding aro und . Some children in wheelchairs watch the goings~on . In a few moments, they, too, will swim. ... There is also time for counselors and campers to sit on the beach and watch the sun set. Longtime counselor Judy Anthony, the daughter of the director, says some children from the city have never seen a lake or the beach. Some children get a special kick out of the enchanting doll house near the heacb. C I n 1971, a large swimming pool, complete with an entrance ramp, slides, and diving board, was built near the basketball court. Swimming is an activity eagerly awaited by many of the handicapped children. 'The buoyancy of the water gives them a confidence and ease of movement they otherwise rarely experience. The woods and meadows, too, are never ofT limiu to thote with physical handicaps. These children take pan in bikes and nature studies. Mornings for all are wually spent in such activities as arts, crafts, pbotograpby, an:bery, and field games. A large part of the afternoon is spent at the pool or on the beach.

Biochemists seek clues to aging By STEVEN SCHOENHOLTZ News Bureau StaN pan ish explorer Ponce de Leon hoped to find it in 1513. Alchemists of the 17th century also searched, but to no avail. Even today, the mysteries of aging and the quest for eternal youth continue to challenge the world's top scientists and researchers. One of these is Morton Rot hstein, U B professor of biological sciences. His well established research involving the mech· an isms of aging. particularly cell enzyme acttvlty. has been going on for more than a decade . ··v ou can co mpare yourself to being o n a winding . country lane ,·· he says when making an analogy to gerontology research . " If you follow it, soo ner or S later 11 will cross the maJOr highwa y which leads to the secret .of aging. The q uestion is when you cross that point. will you recognize it?" Rothstein, who joined th e UB faculty m 1965, is still on that road . His work with nematodes, small round worms. has become an important element in the stud y of aging. This was evident whC:n he was rece ntly hon ored by tht American Aging Association. which presen ted him wi th its highest accolade. the 1988 Research Award for significant co ntri butions to biomedical aging research. This spring he panicipated in a joint international conference, the U.S.-Ital y Symposium on Protein Metabolism in Aging. which he co-organized wi th his long-time UB colleague Haro ld Segal. They were joined by Darrell Doyle. cha1rman of the Unive rsit y's Biological Sciences Department. and I0 other top scientists in aging research from around the country. The U.S. con tingent . supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation . met with Ettore Bergamini. M. D .. professor of general pathology at the University of Pisa. and several of Italy's top biochemists and scientists in Ital y during this trip. The Americans then discussed their work. with members of the Italian Gerontological Society. ··our country serves as the world leader in biological aging studies." notes Rothstein . .. This is due mostl y to the National Institute on Aging, which actively enco urages and provides funding fo r this type of research.Most other nat ions lack the su pport of suc h cen tral funding organization s. While the etherlands has an excellent inst it ute on aging, Britain, France. and Ge rmany are still missing a well organized gerontological resea rch program, Rothstein notes. Rothstein 's career began as a biochemist. From 1959-1965, he held a dual appointment teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, and working as an associate research scientist at the Kaiser Foundation Research Institute. It was there that he came into contact with free-living nematodes in a joint project with the institute's then director, Ellsworth Dougherty. In 1965, when UB offered him a full professorship, Rothstein _came east with his equipment and research grants to continue further studies with the nematodes. "We eventually succeeded in growing th~l]l in pure culture, and ,b egan taking them apart biochemically," he recalls. " Because of the nematodes' structural si mplicit y we were also able to uncover basic biochemical processes without the co mplicati o ns of using more typical experimental ani mals such as rats Or monkeys."

Rot hstein then went after this altered protein. pu rified it, studied it, a nd agreed that it was ahered, but not because of mistakes or errors. "We showed th at cenain things were th e sa me in the 'old' proteins and cenain th ings were different. We co ncluded th at changes were made in the protein after it was made in the old organism. That IS . errors were not in troduced when the protein was made. Inste ad. th e proteins became modified after th ey were synthesized," recalls Rothste in. This concep t. known as Post-Synthetic Modification , cont radicted Orgel's theory and set off debates among ge ron t ologists involved in biological research. is wo rk took on a new direction in 1971 following a co nversation with Dr. Rao Sanadi. then a research~r at the Na tio nal Institutes of Health (NI H) and now with the Boston Biomedical Research Institute. Sanadi suggested that the nematod es would be a great investiga tive tool to st ud y aging because they are si mple to work with, genetically pu re, and have shon life spans. After thinking it over, the UB professor agreed wi th Sanad i's sugges tion and approached the NIH with a project proposal.

Rothstein points out. ..The cellular machinery, as far as the evidence which we have available. is just as accurate in an old person as-it is in a young one. o one has yet dem.o nstrated true age~ related ·error' in DNA or in proteins. My challenge is th is: If someone believes in errors. let them show us o ne." S ince no o ne has yet met that challenge and retirement was j ust around the bend, Rothstei n felt the time was ripe for a popular book on aging research that he hopes will he read by the ge neral public. "The reader won't find any spectacular predictions in this book," Rothstein's preface states . ...1 have tried to show what we know and what we do Dot know and to indicate areas that live in the 'land of perhaps'." His previous effon in this arena. Biochemical Approaches 10 Aging (Academic Press, New York), was written during his 1980 sabbatical in E~gland . That book offered, for the first time. a co mprehensive and derailed review of biochemicaJ research on aging. Today it is used by researchers and academics thoughout tbe world . He also edits a biannual series of text books, RLvi~ws of Biological Res•arch in Aging, with Volume 4 to be out in the fall. Rothstein feels that though much aging research is beiiJ8 undertaken, tittle direct progress in understanding the process has been made. Wben he received tbe Amenean Aging Association 's Research Awanl, be put the difficulties of the work that he and other researchers "do into the proper context: "Progress in aging research is reflected in the story of the airline pilot who announced to his passengers that he had good news and bad news.

INFASURF is one of several surfactants granted investigational new drug ,(IN D) status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and being studied in medical centers across the U.S. The FDA on July 26 approved making one of these surfactants. a synthetic form manufactured by Burroughs Wellcome Co .. avail;tble for ,wide use prior to j ts rece iv ing appro val for marketing beca use of surfactant 's potential benefit to infants born with res piratory distress syndrome . INFASURF and o ther surfactant materials arc still classified as I NOs and their use is limited to specif1c study centers. However. their sponsors also are seeking appro val from the FDA for wider use. Egan and UB colleagues in the Div· is ion of Neonatology at Children 's Hospital of Buffalo and Goren Enhoring, M. D. and colleagues at Women 's Col· lege Hospital in Toronto first used calf lung surfactant extract in the early 1980s. Carefully co ntrolled studies, reported in medical journals. showed that injection of the calf lung surfactant extract protected tiny premature infa nts from respiratory failure. The 13-center study co nducted under the FDA's designation of INFASURF as an IND involves 2,506 infants to date. I NFASU RF is produced by ONY Inc., a Buffalo-based com pany of which Egan is president. It was incorpo rated in 1985 to seek FDA approval for calf lung surfactant extract for treatment of infants at risk for respiratory distress synd rome because, accord ing to Egan, major pharmaceutical companies were not willing to sponsor it because it was not patentable. ..The pharmaceutical industry basicall y has two issues iri its product development o r ~ election ... Egan said . "One is rhat a product or drug offer some benefit to people a nd the ot her is that it make mo ney for the company. ONY was created to make thi s surfactant extract avai lable to children, eve n if it isn't patentable, because we believe it's the most effective." ONY is a "graduate" of the University at Buffalo Foundation Inc. incubator. created to encourage development of s mall businesses in high-tech areas.

In the eyes of men and women a WEED is a plant out of place . On both campuses the most proficient WEED is of course the "dandelion." The next easily ide ntified WEEDS on cam pus include buttercup, crabgrass. nutgrass, sheepso rrel / plantain . chickory, ragweed (hayfever). The list goes on and on. At the University there are approximately 67 recognizable weeds. In order to control or eliminate the weeds. the product name we use is Trimec. Trimec is a selective. broad leaf herbicide. The chemical co mponents of Trimec a re 2.40-MCPP (meco prop) and DiCamba. 2.40 is a hormone co mpound that destroys plants by speedi ng growth so much that the plants wear t.hemselves out ; MCPP disrupts cell di¥isio n necessary for development : and DiCamba inhibits growth of broad leaf weeds and lasts longest in soil. The Grounds Department on the North Campus and the South Campus will app ly the product at the rate of 2 1/ 2 gallons Trimec to 400 ga llons of water. With the temperature above 60°. full su n, and no chance of rain the results will be evide nt wi th in 2-5 days.

G Th e appointment was formally ap pro ved by the National Science Foundation (NSF). which established the ce nter here in 1986 with a S25 milli o n. five-year gra nt. Lee 's appointment came followng the sudden death of NCEER Director Roben L. Ketter on April 18. Ian G . Buckle serves as the center's deputy director and is responsible for day-today management. In addition to his executive duties with NCEER , Lee will chair a search co mmittee to seek a new director for the center. An international search will begin this summer with the new director to be in place by Spring 1990. The search committee will include members of NCEER 's executive committee: Tsu T. Soong, UB professor of civil engineering; Peter Gergely, professor in the School of Civil Engineering at Cornell; Klaus Jacob, senior research scientist in seismology and iectonics at Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University, and Masanobu Shinozuka, Sollenberger Professor of Civil Engineering at Princeton. Other committee members are: Dr. Dale Meredith, chairman of the U B Dcpanment of Civil Engineering; Dr. Judith E. Albino. dean of the UB Graduate School: and Dr. Dale M. Landi. U B vice president for sponsored programs.

Ketter Hall. uB. ee. a struct ural engin~e r and an expen in earthquake engineering, has been dean of engineering here since 1978. He also serves as professo r of civil engineerng and associate director of the Calspan- UB Research Center. Lee received his graduate education in structural engineering at Lehigh. His groundbreaking theoretical research on stiffness matrix considerably generalized the application of the finite element method , work that facilitated for engi· neers the analysis and design of buildings. For more than 10 years, Lee conducted with federal and private funding most of the basic research on the behavior of tapered members, structural units that are larger at one end than the other. His work facilitated their ase in construction, fr=ing engineers from the need to use only structural units of uniform siu. Lee's research enabled the construction of lighter, less expensive buildings. Current design specifications of the L American Institute of Steel Construction on tapered members were formulated by Lee, who is chairman-<Oiect of the Engineering Mechanics Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers. During the 1970s, Lee applied structural mechanics principles to biological systems, working in the area of lung and soft tissue modeling. in research suppaned by the NSF and the National Institutes of Health. He is presently a member of the U.S. National Committee on Biomechanics. During the- last 10 years. he has stud- ied the inelas t ic and large deforma tional behavior of low-rise steel st ruc-tures under nonproponionally applied dynamic loading, work supponed by the NSF and industry. He also worked on an NSF-funded study o n the effect of freeze-thaw cycles on , tJlc"'..mechanical propen ies or concrete. Lee's current research activi ties are primari ly involved in earthquake engineering. In addition to steel structures. he is stud yi ng nonproponional damping problems, dam-reservoir·soil inte raction and other soil-s tructur e interac t ion problems with funding from the NSF and NCEER . NCEER is the first s uch national center established by the NSF. Its focus is minimizing damage, injury , and loss or life caused by earthquakes through a system of research , implementation of find· ings. public education, and technology transfer. Established in September 1986, it consists of more than 80 researchers throughout the U.S., including those at the center's core facilities here , at Cornell University, Lamont-Doheny Geologocal Observatory of Columbia U niversity, Lehigh University, Princeton University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. NCEER is funded by a five-year $25 million grant from the NSJi that is matched by $25 million in funds contributed by New York State and other so urces.

Students chosen for the prog ram are academically talented youths from low-inco me minority background s who o therwise would not have access to the educational bene- fils of such schools. The program traces its roots to a meeting of independent sc hool princi pa ls in the s pring of 1987. acco rd ing to a draft of the program's history. Murie l Moo re, assistant vice provost of st udent services and dean fo r student services at U B, was o ne of the co-founders. ..These kids wouldn't have this opponunity without the help of the program." M oore said . - For example. it costs $7500 for tuit ion at Nicho ls. And these ki ds deserve to go all the wa y." Buffalo Prep is modeled after an established and s uccessful program begu n in New York Ci ty in 1978 that curren tl y tnvolves over 600 stude nts.

Admissions personnel at the schools will work closely with the pro· gram to help students makt a choice. M any of the students, Hill said. are ••too quick to decide what field to concentrate in." Nearly all the studen ts in the first group, for exa mp le, plan to pursue law o r medicine. One exce ptio n is a gi rl who. though "a few po ints below the1 rest." was admitted into the co nt inge nt because s he is dedicated to becoming an astronaut. Krystal Kelley. who attends Campus West school, is o ne of the students in th e first group and pla ns to pu rsue a career as a crimi nal defense lawyer ... A counselor at school told me about the program . S he said it wo uld be a good challenge for me."

He plans to become " th e next Do nald Trump." a nd own at JeaS't one corpo ra ti o n. was called down to the office at school, and I thought I was in tro uble - but it was a bout Buffalo Prep, " Griggs joked . " M y fat her said it would be good to ge t a sc holarship, and it see med fun ." The students see med to be enjoyi ng themselves at lunch in any case. Griggs mention ed that his math class was li ke .. learnin g a new language. Before, it was just basic math." The teachers of the classes are local schoo l teachers hired by the prog ram on a co ntractu al basis. Hill said. .. S tud en ts learn history, science. mat h.

They have to play to win ." P a rents are a lso act ive pl ayers in the program _ ·•They must pro vi d e encouragement wh e n the program becomes demanding:· H ill said . "Also. they kte p in communication with the program, so th e child knows his parents a re taking a direct interes t in his or her progress."' Kelley re marked with a smile th at ··my parents enco urage me to get up in the morning and to do my homework , and they check it every night." After they graduate from the Buffalo Prep program, the students' progress will be monitored at their new scho ols. Fulltime counselors will follow th e adjustment process, main tai n co ntact with parents. visit with school administrators and teachers, and assist id resolving any problems.

Beth Anne Shelton. assistant professo r of socio logy. maintains that women's greater household res ponsibilities arc: a si gnificant contributor to the gender gap in earnings. In an article publ is hed in Gender & Socierv. Shehan and co-author Juanita FirestOne. assis tant professor of sociology at the Unive rsity of Texas at Sa n Antonio, determined that 8.2 per cent o f the ge nder ga p in ea rnings - $22.41 per week - i ~ due directly to women doing W more housewo rk than men . Although Shehan acknowled ges that most of the gap 1 ~ due to o ther facto rs. particularl y ~C n!. m , she ~ tn:~sc s th at a signflcant por· 11o n can he anr ibutcd 10 housework . !"he mo re t1 mc wo men s pend on hou:-.cwo rk . the lcs!<> ume thc v have to \ pend tt l thei r J O b~.

And with wo men doing the lion's sh are o f th e ho usewo rk, men have more time and emoti o na l commitment to devote to their jobs. allowing them more freed om to pursue careers, she says. The resea rchers found th at about 21 per cent of the earnings gap is auribut ablc to work history and the number of hours worked per week - a reflectiOn, th ey say. of women's primary res ponsibilit y for household labor. M arcover. of the earnings ga p that is du e to the d iffere nces in the characteristics of men and women. s uch as d ifferen t levels of ed ucati o n. different occupat ional locau ons, different housewo rk t ime. a nd differen t rates of un ion members hip, more than 90 per cent is due to ho use work. Shelton s~ys . "To think that there 's no relations hip between the pri vate s phere. o r the household , and the public sphere. or the paid labor for,ce, is a mistake. There's a very clear relationship,'"' she says ... It's different for men than for women. For women , household responsibilities have a direct and negative impact on both th eir time spent in paid labor and on their earnings. For men. that- rea ll y doesn 't appear to be the case. .. It's very clea r that you're not going to have equality in the paid labor force or a significan t reduction in the earnings gap between women and men unless you deal wi th the di visio n of household iabor. As lo ng as women are res ponsi ble for hou se hold lab o r. the y1 1 continue to earn less than men." Shelton concludes that hou se hold labo r must be more equally shared among men and wo men, a nd a lternati ves should be provided. such as restructured jobs that allow time for ho usewo rk a nd affordab le o r on-si te day ca re facilities. Paid ho use hold labor is not an acceptable ahcrn ative, Shelton says. Not only can few ho useholds afford it, but when a ho usekee pe r is hired. it's usually because the amo unt of housewo rk has increased. Paid house hold labor picks up th e housewo rk th at normally wouldn't get done . It d oes n't replace or reduce th e wo man's ho usework time, s he sayS. Shelton's conclusio ns are based on data gathered by the Survey Research Cent: r at the Univers ity of Michigan. The ce nter surveyed 920 people in 1975. then followed up with the same panici· pants in 1981. Six hundred twenty persons participated in the final 1981 study. Participants accounted for their time in 15-minute intervals, over 24 hours. This was done at four diffcr~nt times to get a represe ntat ive picture of how the partic ipants spe nt their time . A !though mo re women no w are working o ut side the home , Shelton found no dramatic sh ift in the divis ion o f house hold lab o r. While there has been so me modificat io n in tasks - wome n reducing their ho usewo rk time slightly, men d oi ng different chores - wo men co ntinue to d o the vast majo rit y of housework . And men's housework time does not change when th eir wives enter the work force . she says. In 1975. wo men averaged 34 ho urs of house wo rk a week . Men averaged 13.5 hours. In 198 1. women's housework time rem ained at 34 ho urs. Men averaged I6 hours, a n increase that Shelton finds insignificant . The term hou se work includes all work that is done in or for the household. such as cleaning. cooki ng, home repair, chi ld care. a nd runn ing errands. ··All the media ~ y pe about th is big chan ge (in ho usehold rout ine) is reall y in a se nse just th a t; the re hasn 't been that muc h change, " she says. no ting the cha nge that has occurred is due to the increased partici pati on of women in the paid la bo r force . "To say men and women arc the sa me is to make a se rious mistake: they are flot the same because wo men still do the housework ," Shelton says, noting th at hou sewo rk is not a cho ice for most house hold s. There is so me work that must be don e. such as grocery shopping and cooking, . W omen·s ""double day" also has an impact on their leisure time and quality of life. she adds. '-'....Men have significantly more leis ure time than women - between two and three more hours a week. And women have much.lcss time fo r active leisure activities, such as golf. tennis, sw imming, and mo vies. than for passive leisure activities , such as watching te lev isio n or reading. "With acti ve leis· u re. you have to be able to carve o ut a niche, a time when you can leave; it's ha rd to get two hours to go to the./ mo vies. two hours to play tennis. But watching televisio n yo u can do in five: minute snippets; you can fold clothes while you d o it."" she says. Wom e n sac rifice leis ur e time to hou sework and to paid labo r, wh ile men o nly sacrifice le is ure to paid work tim e .. This is pa rti all y due to the differences in the ty pes of ho use wo r k me.n and women d o. she says. Men tend to d o di sc retionary tasks - th ings th at can be put off - while women perfo rm the tas ks th at must be d o ne. "So we see inequ ali ty in earnings. we see inequality in paid labo r time, we sec in equalit y in ho usework time, and we see inequality in leisure ," she says. "In a seiiSe, I th ink we're reall y missing something when we exclude this private s ph ere of the household ." $ r \ I I I � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

The athletes will room at Ellicott and Governors, and , if necessary, on other nearby college campuses. Either way, Townsend pointed out,.....security, feeding, management, and transponation will be relatively easy. Competition in track and field , swimming, diving , water polo, basketball, volleyball, fencing, tennis, and soccer will be held at U B. But many other areas of Western New York would be involved as practice spaces. Townsend explained that .. every coun· t ry won't be sending a team for every sport. But you couJdn 't even have 40 _ baseball teams practicing on a single field. They11 be spread throughout the suburbs and the city." he Universiade also promises rewards for the UB athletic program once finished. "The one thing thi s does is provide what we couldn't buy if we wanted to - that is publicity, .. said Townsend . .. Any aspiring student athlete wiiJ have proof positive that UB must have great facilities . Hopefully, TV coverage of the I 99 I Games in Sheffield , England , will prepare American audiences so that our programs and facilities will be tied to a so mewhat familiar concept ... Recruit ing is made evtr easier by such exposyre. Townsend continued . .. Soon there will be noth ing in New York State to compare with the UB program. There JUSt aren't many other reasons for the rapid growth of an athletic program. When student athletes see th e equipment. they're convinced we're serious T "Much of what has been said so far about the games has focused on the athletics. But the educational and cultural parts, though relatively unpublicized, are equally exciting." about the program. When they ·sec 30,000 seats, they picture them full , not empty. "The upgrading of specific physical facilities will also help specific programs. If we have a stadium befitting the Division I AA ranking, we wouldn \ feel the slightest bit of hesitation inviting U. Mass. or Connecticut to play football here. But we can't do this without a locker room in the stadium. The games will generate the income for the locker room and other amenities, allowing us to host teams stronger than Division Ill." ccording to Townsend, people still haven\ comprehended the magnitude of the games, despite tbe recent bype. He hopes local people get involved and "prepare themselves mentally for the · event. "It's far bigger tban da_cribed. You could take the total number of volUD-teen. officials, repon.en, -orpaizas, confreres, and cuhural people - lbcoe people alone will fill tbc new stadium, before you p:t to tbc .u.lcla, before you get to tbc lpCClaton!. The '"Dr:w" stadium will be tbc ex pan- A sion of UB Stadium from 4,000 to about 35,000 seats. Other construction includes a renovation of the natatorium in the Recreation and Athletics Complex , mainly to expand the seating capacity. Thougb planned long before the World University Games were awarded to the area, the Fine Ans Center will probably receive impetus from the sporting event. UB President Steven B. Sample promised the FIS U that the center would be complete by I 993. Both the Fine Ans Center and the cultural center to be built in the city will provide modern arenas for the educational and cultural aspects of the University Games. Osear Smukler, president of the Buffalo School Board and occasional instructor in civil engineering at UB, will oversee the educational component of the games with the advantage of his previous experienCe in the field: Smukler was a basketball official · at games in Turin and Moscow in the early I 970s. He noted the caliber"Of athletic competition, but said he is most impressed by the fact that, unlike the Olympics, the World University Games sponsor a variety of educational and cultural events. "The only specific request I've recei ved so far is for a conference seminar on sports medicine, a growing field ," said Smukler. " It 's really too early to speak of other activities. In three: weeks I should know more - after I visit Edmonton and speak with the person who held a simi lar position. "' I can ,ay t!pt since so much of the games emphas1s will fall on UB, I plan to showcase so me of its more conspicuous educational features - the Earthquake Ce nter. the New York State Institute for Superconductivity. I'd also like to incorpcv-atc the different projects and programs th at other colleges have to offer."' inke Boot, wife of outgoing Faculty H Senate Chair J o hn Boot , plans likewise to use the resources of UB and also those of the International Institute, a United Way organization on Delaware Avenue. Boot is the executive director of the institute, which helps immigrants to assimilate and then helps them organize cultural events, using the center for their own purposes. In the near future, Boot will be speaking to comparable cultural officials in Edmonton, gathering recommendations and ideas for the cultural segment which begins one week before and continues throughout the games. As of now, an opening parade with national flags and national dress is being planned . So is an ethnic festival a.~ well as smaller events taking place across the city and across the county. Food and restaurants will probably be given emphasis. The arts will also be prominent. Finally, Boot is looking into the possibility of forming a group of host families willing to take in foreigners for a short time. "Much of what has been said so far about the games bas focused on the athletics, .. said Ronald Stein, vice president for university relations and us·s main liaison with tbe local organizing committee. "But the educational and cultural parts, thougb they have not really come out yet, tbcse are equally exciting tow." He added: "Currently, we bave three main tasks ahead of us. We lint bave to do some hiring - an executive director and a director of marketing. We bave to raise $75 million for construction and operating cxpensc:s. ADd, fmally ~ bave to bring off a mcilessful women's basketball championship of the World University Games wben it's held here in August of this year." 4D Welch will chair the PRB laude E. Welch, Jr .• Distinguished Service Professor of political science, has been named chair of the President's Review Board on Appointments, Promotion, and Tenure (PRB). Welch will assume the position Jul y 15, succeeding Jo se ph Masling, profes· so r of psychology, who had expressed a desire to resume full-t ime research and teaching duties. C President Steven B. Sample offered praise for the outgoing chair: "Under his leadership during the past three academic years, the PRB has played a centraJ role in assuring that our University continues to hold to the highest standards of academic excellence. His candor, diligence, and sound judgment have been essential to the effective functioning of the PRB." Welch has pursued a distinguished career in both research and teaching, and is the author of several books and numerous articles. He is also the recipient of severaJ research grants in support of his scholarly work. The recipient of a SU NY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, Welch was appointed Distinguished Service Professor this spring. • Additionally, Welch has served in many administrative roles, including chair of the Political Science Depanment, associate vice president for academic affairs, acting vice president for academic affairs, acting dean of the Colleges, and dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies. Welch has also served a!; chair of the Faculty Senate. and has been a member of the PRB for two separate three-year terms. Said Sample: "We at the University are very fonunate to be able to benefit once again from the services of such an outstanding scholar, excellent teacher. and distinguished senior professor. and 1 am confident that Dr. Welch will continue to make outstanding contributions to our University as chair of the President's Review Board on Appointments.

He was instrumental in establishi ng the house as a National Historic Landmark . His role as curato r enabled the University to acquire and install many of the assets in the house. He has also facilitated publ ic access t o th is major landmark ." Freschi added: ..

New hotel construction may be required , but not necessarily here . "There could be a hotel on Parcel B before the games" but that isn\ guaranteed, Sample said. With or without the hotel, though. Sample said there will be some construction on the tract ·o f land ncar the bookstore . .. What we assured the committee is that there would be commercial development on Parcel 8 prior to the games and that the Fine Ans Center would be open and completed . ..Whether or not there is a hotel right on the campus at that time is probably not essential to having the games sited at the campus." H ousing and cultural affairs aside, the University's athletic facilities will need to be expanded. "I think you will find that there will be major improvements in a number of venues and practice sites around Western New York, .. said Stein , vice president for University relations. The major improvements at UB will include expanding' UB Stadium tOleat a minimum of 27,000 people, building a track and flCid pl11Ctice stadium, and expanding tbc ~orium . The facility improvements will be permanent, a development that bodes well for UB's athletic future. "The upgraded facilities that will come about as a result ofthe World Universit y Games, I think , will be of great assistance to (Director of Athletics) Nelson Townsend as he triCs to move the whole athletic program at UB to the Division I level, and panicularly in football," Sample explained. In addition, Sample said the increased visibility of the University that will come as a result of the games• media coverage will help U B. "It will establish a name recognition for the University throughout the country. ... As we compete more and more in the world market for the very best scholars, not only nationally but internationally, I think the improved recognition for the University at Buffalo that will come from the World University Games will assist us in that effon," he said. T he drive ·toWard the games was not without its doubting Thomases . "Wfien we started on this crusade 18 months ago, there were a Jot of people who thought we were kind of nowhere guys going no place," Aick:inger said. All around, it was a team effon, committee members said. "What I think is so phenomenal about this event," Sample concluded, "is tbat it shows wbat we can accomplish here in Western New York, when JNe have tbe private sector, local government. the. city aovcmmcnt, the county government, the Univenity, the State government, and the federal government all working together.

Williams added th at most of those studying at lJ B are concentrated in research, engineering, education. and the scie nces. Wu said there arc no undergraduates here because the Chinese government doesn't allow students a t that level to leave the co untry. The initial reactions of the Chinese st udents we re quite complex, Wu con· tinued . Anger. confusion, dep ression, CHINA CRISIS , and anxiety over the futtJ.re a re wo rds that ''don 't begin to describe the strange mixture of feeling.

By PHILIP G. AL TBACH hina 's student mo vement has been defeated fo r the time being. but its goal s and co ncerns remain a powerful po litical force. Student activist movement s ha ve a ccnain d ynamic that often leads to the apparent defeat of the move ment but the lo ng-term vict o ry fo r the ideas expressed by the students. There is t ittle doubt that the concerns C raI CHINA CRISIS of the Tiananmcn Square demonstrators will be part of the Chinese political equation in the future . For the ume bcmg the movement has been defeated and a period of repression has set in. But ideas have power and st udent activists have expressed concerns that go far beyond the campus. Student movements tend to be somewhat utopian in orientation, demanding significantly more than is possible in most societies. As a result , what may seem a defeat is in reality a partial victory. In the United States. the anti- Vietnam War student movement of the 1960s seemed to end in defeat : the war did not end and the various student organizations ceased to exist. Yet. the movement had a profound im pact on American society. It created an an tiwar atmosphere that convinced Lyndon Johnson not to seek a second • presidential term and eventually forced the United Stat~ to abandon the war. The student movement also had a lasting impact on American values and att itudes. Liberal views regarding lifestyles. music, and drugs were pioneered by the student movement. The women's movement emerged from the social ferment of the 1960s. The student activists of the 1960s felt th at their moveme nt was a failure , but in reality it had an impact not only on the politics of the period but on the values and attitudes of society. Not even a decade of Reaganism was able to erase its influence. ther co untries show a similar partial and sometimes del ayed impact. In South Korea, massive student movements have arisen on several occasions. only to end in seeming defeat and sometimes. as at J( wangju. in massive repression. And at least once, the result of a student uprising was the installation of a government more rep~ive than the regime it replaced . Yet, 10 the long run student demands for democracy 0 eventually &ntributed to a political atmosphere in which the regime feh it necessary to accommodate. The students articula ted views held by a much wider segmen t of the population - and to some extent shaping public opinion. Last year's popular revolt in Burma provides a similar example. Demonstrations led by students rapidly expanded beyond the campus and became widespread. particularly among the urb an population. After a period of disarray, the Burmese gove rnment was able to end the demonstrations. in th is instance with significant loss of life. Stuftents retreated first to the co unt ryside. and later some fled to Thailand . Although Ne Win was forced from the presidency, he continu es to hold power. and there were few concessions to the students. The Burmese saga is. however, not yet complete and it is very likely that the delayed im pact of the student-led demonstrations of 1988 will be felt. In the Philippi nes. campus-led opposition to Marcos resulted in a wider protest movement which eventually toppled the regime . The list could go on. Students have the potential. particularly in the Third World . for precipitating political c risis. They are the nashpoint of revolt and often the first significant group to articulate ant iregime sentiment. In most cases, the students stand to the left of the established regime. although this is not always the case. Islamic st udent movements in Egypt and Malaysia criticize regimes from the right and arc able to mobilize segments of public opinion. n the current Chinese s"tuation. it is difficult to label student political ideology. In this situation, student rebellion is based less on ideology than on a series of specific complaints concerning the perfonnance of the I "Student movements ultimately collapse when faced with the power of the state. Yet, ideas do have power. In the end, the Chinese students may well be victorious . . .. History is on their side.. .. " regime . As in man y other cases. the Chinese sludcnts were motivated by a series of grievances based on their status as students - such as poor conditions on campus and concerns about employment - with broader issues th at attracted support among a much larger segment of the population. such as complaints about corruption. inflatio n and eco nomic mismanagement. Typically. students stim ulated the crisis and art iculated grievances. but they were unable to shape the political outcome directly. This is a common result of major st udent activist n1'0vement. Student idealis m is both a strength and a significant weakness of activist movements. On the one hand, stud~ts articulate "pure" goals and "pure" politics. This has a certain attraction and builds public support. On the other hand. this makes it difficult for the · students to shape a practical political program or to make the nea:ssary alliances and compromises to achieve power or even to significantl y innucnce a rap idl y changing poli ti cal scene. This ideali sm and purit y almost guarantee that student activists will not be able to ach ieve power in the aftermath of the political crisis that they were instrumental in creating. Student idealism may al so push the authorities to re sort to repression since the Iauer arc unable 1 0 reach an accommodation wi th the .. utopian .. and often escalating demands of the student movement. Idealism ma y also end up costing the students public suppo n when people realize that the radical goals of the moveme nt cannot be achieved . Student mo vements arc marked not only by a reluctance to compromise but al so by impati ence . Stu den t utop ia nism wan ts result s quick ly. Student generations last onl y a short time and the e mph as is 1s on o btai nin g 4uick res ult s. Student po lit ics a lmost neve r have a long-term pe rspecti ve.

S tu dent lead ers have a tendency toward factio nalism and confusion. wh ich cripples the movement and confuses th e issues. The rhythm of campus life also does not lend itself to sustained activism. Even on Tiananmen Square:. student s were concerned about impending examinations. tudent movements often do not recognize their power. In China. students were able to articulate the concerns and complaints of many Chinese. And they were able to mobilize the largest protest movement in a half-century. In the end . the students had to wi thdraw. When faced with the awesome power of the state, student movemen ts cannot achieve victory. The students si mply Jack the power or the infrastructu re to mainta in their movement against determined oppositio n. Students have the ad vantage of easy communication on campus and often have the skill to work with the mass media. But once access to the med1a is eliminated {or. as has happened in the West , the med ia lose interest). student activists cannot effecti vely communicate with the outside world. Sta lin once derisively asked how man y d ivisions the pope had . The same questi on might be asked about student movements. They are. on th e surface, paper tigers. Stimulated by idealism and a ut o pian consciousness. student movements inevitably co llapse when faced with the power of the state. Yet. ideas do have power and students. more perhaps than any ot her group in society. have the ability to articulate social discontent and to focus attention on socie ty's ills. The concerns of st udents in America, Korea, Burma. the Philippines. and many other countries have become part of the political fabric of society and have had a last ing impact. In the end, the Tiananmen students may well be victorious. History is on their side. S CD Philip G. Altbach i.J profrssor and director of th~ Comparatiw Education U ntrr at VB.

Sabres, or Bisons7 If you answered Y" to either question, there are team trainers, physicians, and physical therapists ready to care for you. For the res* of us, if we sprain an ankle or strain a muscle, all we're likely to get is a little ice pack, one or two aspiri n and, hopefully, a little sympathy. Wh ether we're weeknight softball players. weekend tennis players or golfers, early morning joggers, walkers. or j ust like to play an occasional game with our children, most of our injuries will be the result of .. overuse." An overuse injury means that a muscle or ligament has been consistently abused , resulting in repeated damage . (microtraumas). When the surrounding muscles can no longer compensate, the muscle or ligament pulls or tears. Overuse means a muscle is being used too much or in the wrong way. If so mething hurts, that usuall y means "back off.- If you back off, use a little ice and a little aspirin, and the problem persists, then there may be some thing se ri ously wrong with the way you exercise the inj ured area. Yo u might want to usc something else at this time - the teleph one - to co nt act your physician. Eve n when yo u have flaw less form, you may still have an accident. When an external force (a fall) exceeds the inherent strength of a bone or ligament, the body pan fails . This often results in a sp rain, strain, dislocation , fract ure, or tear. These injuries are often accompanied by a considerable amo un t of pain a nd swelling. How do you reduce the swelling, ease the pain , and make it easier to return to active life more quickly? The answer is easy, apply " RICE." RICE is an acronym for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. The following steps will take a bit longer than Uncle Ben's Minute Rice, but they are highly recommended by many sports specialists. I) REST the injury as soon as possible to relieve stress to the injured area. 2) ICE will reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. Wrap ice in a towel or plastic bag a nd ·apply for 30 minutes.

Lulat through the African-American Studies Department. Lulat explained that the importance of cartoo ns is often downplayed : " People think of cartoons as the comics and Mickey Mou se:. but seld om in a se rious sense. "Cartoo ns are a means of trying to pers uade, to ridicule something, and bri ng about change ... he added . "They go beyond just politics and address 1ssuc:s like sex. racism. and the environment. .. Lulat, whose interests in the a rt world include graphic arts. painting, and photography, felt that there was a need to explore the function and impact of cartoons in o ur society . ..They are a very serious form of communication." he said ... They are ubiquitous, and their message is very potent. It seemed obvio us that they should be th e focus of study." The class enrolled about 20 studen ts who learned to appreciate the role of the cartoon and of the cartoonist. "To be a cartoonist is not easy, .. Lulat co ntended. "it require s creativity and perseverance ... T om Toles. a 1973 al umnus of the UB English Department. affirmed this remark. .

The: ot her is a - local cartoon .. intended for circulation only in the Buffalo News. For him, the an is not the real challenge .

''A cartoon can be successful artistically and be funny with just a superficial idea, but it can't perform the ro le that the cartoon chould ... In Toles' opinion, the role of a polirical cartoonist is to .. read and analyz.e news and offer an indi,idual interpretation and opinion that is provocative enough to contribute to the public debate of the subject. ..

But the message in To les' cartoons is usually quite clear. His book Mr . Gazoo: A Cartoon Hist ory of the Rtagan Era is evide nce of his feelings about our former president. Lulat explained that Reagan was a particularly good target for political cartoonists. ''He has easily distinguishable feawres. and he quite often made blunders." Eno ugh for an entire book of ca rtoons. in any case. ccordi ng to Toles. h1s cart~on s may tend to focus more on cnv~ronmen tal issues in the future , because these topics arc .. under-reported ." He said future cartoons may comment o n such issues as toxic waste, forest preservati on. global climate change, and the po pulat ion probJem . He also plans to concen trate more on civil rights issues. Toles believes that his ability to suecessfully convey a message with a ca rtoon is due to the fact that his cartoons a re - in a nutshell - unique. "They are individualized and personalized. perhaps in the general vici nit y oflibe ral tradition. but not predictable or statically programmatic, .. he said. His drawing style is one of the trademark s of his work , and a distinctive factor in the effectiveness of his cartoons. ..One of the reasons that cart oons are effecti ve is that you don't have to be very literate to appreciate them," Lulat said. .. Also. they arc entertaining, and they speak to o ur desire for hum or. The images and pictures in a single cartoon can say what would require a book to say. On the other hand, Lulat said, car- toons require considerable input from the reader. "Cartoons are not like having a dictionary a nd a short story. where you can look up somethirig if you don't A understand it. They require a higher degree of input from the reader if the symbols are not familiar ... Cartoo ns create an exaggerated "local logic .. that is based on the symbolic images, and thus the humor depends upo n the recognition of the symbols' meanings. he said . T oles said that he directs hi s cartoons to the "nearly enlightened reader" more specifically. "people who read enough to know what's going on. but have n't put it all together. .. In a broad sense. that is the reason why cart oons. especially political cartoo ns. are so popular. They help us to put it all together by providing a so mewhat sac rilegi o us look at the issue. And according to Lulat, that role is quickly ex panding: ''There has been a proliferation of newspapers. Although th e natio na l papcrs are limited in number. th ere has been an explosion of local and co mmun ity newspapers." Toles expressed a hope that the repu tat ion of cartoonists in Ame rica will improve . .. Cartoonists have always been perceived as marginal and more than before are perceived as frivo lous." Toles remarked ... They have trivialized themselves over the past IS years." A nd yet. despite the decrease in the number of national newspapeB, the increased amount of ·syndication offers cartoonists a .. better chance to develop a national audience," Toles said . Indeed, the cartoon is a vi•al part of almost every newspaper. even the New York Timts slips a few into the Sunday .. Week in Review" section ... Some argue that cartoons go back to cave painting,.. quipped Lulat. "Mockery of those in power is natural. .. If that isn't a good enough excuse to skip the headl ines and fold back to the cartoons, what is? $ �July 6, 1989 Summer No. 2 Oren Lyons preparing for 1990 meeting in the USSR By STEPHEN GARMHAUSEN Lyons. a Native Amenca n elder and Onondaga Chtef IS a member ol lhe foru ms s1eenng comm111ee eponer t:;1nt, U H profcs!.or Oren Lyom.

D •I\ was at stake we should be grateful that ~s uch a prize was won with so little innocent b!ood ." At the heig ht of the conflicts with Great Britain and later during hi s power struggle with Hamilton and the Federalists. Jefferson had convmccd himself that France and th e U.S. fought' the same battle. But the developments of the revolution stressed over and over again the differences m the situations of the two co untries. In America a change of government turned out to be sufficient to implement a new foreign policy, dotng away with all political. military. religious. and co mmercial subordination to Great Britain . No basic resh uffling of the domestic socto· economic structure of society was required . "The monstrous abuses of power under which the (French) people were ground to powder" had no parallel on this side of the Atlantic. J effe rson realized that suc h "a people might justly press for•a thorough reformation and might even dismount their rough· shod riders.'" For. unlike in the U.S.. where .. every one may have land to labor for himse lf if he chooses; or. preferring the exercise of any other industry, may exact such compensation as not only to afford a comfortable subsistence. but wherewith to provide fo r a cessation from labor in old age." The bulk of the French population . who lived in a tyrannical, tightly stratified society, had no interest in sup porti ng Jaw and order and could nbt re Jy be trusted with "a wholes ome cont rol of their public affairs and a degree of freedom ... These, in the hands of the ..canaille of the cities of Eu rope, would be instantly perverted to the demolition and destruction of e"trything public and private." Apparently Jefferson did not realize at the time the d isturbing fact that the most cruel and bloodthirsty mobs perpetrating wanton massacres in Paris were not made up of characters from the underworld or of poor and illiterate workers. but of relatively afOuent and well ed ucated shop keepers. off-duty members of the legal professio ns and the police forces. all acting without mandate from higher authorities. Moreo ver, even th e more res ponsible and patriotic Frenchmen remained under the sway of a bsolutist and despotic principles of government. n quasi retirement at Monticell o after 1793. Jefferson w~ quite aware or the fragility of French political institutions. He witnessed the power struggle between Girondins and Jacobins, between reformer~ and radtcals. resu ltin g in th e gradual erosio n of th e po pular supp ort for what was left of the rcpublt c. In 1803. he was appalled by the popularity of apoleon Bonaparte and by seei ng ~o many of his liberal friends joining Napoleon's followers . He reluctant ly co nceded . m a leucr dated July 12. 1803. that perhaps. given the French lack of experience in the disc1pline of self·go ver nm ent and majority rule. Napoleon was the best they could hope for to save them from ·•a combination of enemies" and '"the means of giving . .. (them) . .. as great a ponion of libert y as the opinions. habits and characte r of the nation arc prepared for. " He added somewhat WIStfully : " Progressi ve preparation may fit yo u for progressive port ions of that first of blessings. (liberty) and you may in time attain what we erred ~ supposing co uld be hastily seized and maintained . I • in the prese nt state of political tnformation among yo ur citizens at large" Seeking explanations in 1811 for the failures of the French. Jefferso n, in anot her letter. noted that if .. The Republican Government of France was lost without a st ruggle," it was "because the part y of 'u nc e 1 indivisible' had prevailed ; no provi ncial organization existed to which the people might rall y under au thori ty of the laws ... . A small force sufficed to turn the legislature out of their chamber. and to salute its leader chief of the nati on ... That ts. !here wa~ no viable power able to mcdtate between the formidable power of the centrali1Cd state and the isolated tndtvidual ci ti zens. "The most cruel and bloodthirsty mobs in Paris were not made up of the poor and illiterate but of the relatively affluentand well educated." Jefferso n certainly nourished until the end of his life a real affection for the French people and a nostalgia for the charms of social life in their coun try. But tMil did not alleviate h1s doubts as to their political maturity and capacity for self·government. It •s perhaps in his correspondence with Lafayette that he voiced in the most unequivocal manner his mi sgivmgs ove• the prospects of democracy in France . In 18 15. shortly before tbe return or Napoleon from Elba. Jefferson wrote to Lafayene with remarkable foresight "A full measure of libeny is n m n ow per haps to be expected by yo ur nation, nor am I confident they arc prepared to preserve it. More than a generation wtl l be requisite. , .before they will be capable of estirnatmg the value of freedom. and I he necessity of sac rt'd adherence to the principles o n which tl rests for preservation. "Instead of that liberty whtch takes root a nd growth in the progress of rea.~on. tf recovered b~ mere force or acctdent. it becomes. with an unprepared pcopk. a tyrann~ ~ttll. or the man y. the few or the one.·· In short. a po pulation ridden with •gnorance. bigotry. and fanaticism is ,er~ susccpttblc to fall undc:r m1l1tary despotism. fo r progress. as Jefferso n pointed out to Lafayette in IH17. "depe nd !<r. not on the state of SCience. however exalted. 1n a ~elec t band of enlightened. men. but on the conditton of the general mind . " s earl) as 177 4. Jeffe rson had ~uggcsted to the V~tgtnia delegates to the Conti nent a l Co ngress that th e ktng of England "is no more than the ch 1ef officer o[ the people. appointed by the laws. and circumscribed with definite powe rs to assist in working the great machine of government. erected for the ir usc, and con~quently subject to their ~uperintendance . " An examination of the principles and of the institutions of the French Revol ution shows that thc.r.e arc no domains excluded from the jurisdiclio n of the government and no mechanism se t in place to control the constitutionality of its actions. The A .. .. ' . . .. . , · 16 French Declaration of the Rights of Man mentioned that they were .. n~tural a nd imprescriptible .. only to inform us in th e articles that followed that the Jaw can always abridge the said rights. In his book. Notes on Virginia , Jefferso n had clearly iden tified the root of all despotism. ''The error see ms not sufficiently eradicated." he wrote, ''th at the o perati o ns of the mind . as well as the acts of the bod y, arc subject to the coercio n of the laws. " But our rulers can have authority ove r such natural rights only as we ha ve sub mitted to them . The righls of conscience we neve r submitted. we could not subm it. The legitimate Powe rs of govern ment extend only to such acts as arc injurious to others ... Jefferson's political posi tio n regarding France is best summed up in a letter to Elbridge Gerry. a signer of the Declaration of Independence: "I was a since re well-wisher to the success of the French Revo lution , and still wish tt may end in the establishment of a free and well ordered republic. But the fi rst object of my hean is my own co untry. I have not one farthing of tnterest. nor one fibre of attachment out of it, nor a si ngle motive of preference of any one nation to another, but in proportion as the y arc more or less friend ly to us ... s S,.crc tary of State. Jefferson A doggedly worked to develop a fo reig n policy that would strengthen the nation's commercial independence and assert U.S. neutralit y in European wars. In a letter to George Washingt on. he wrote that his system. in his official rela tt o ns with France, was to give ~so me satisfactory distincti o ns" to the Frenc h - .. of little cost to us, in return for the solid advantages yielded <by t hem." This statement shows that Jefferso n. fo r all his praise for the culture and refmement of the French ruling classes. shared the contempl of ma ny of his con temp oraries for the ir imme nse vani ty that often obli terated whatever political acumen and busmess ~c n sc they might ha ve had . Yet Jefferso n, always a sta te-sman and philosopher. carefull y avoided falling tnto the trap of an all·tooco mmon manichaeism in hi s critictsm of European governments. In a Jan . 16. 17R7. letter from Pan ~. he noted that the governments of Europe " under the pretense of governing .. . have divid ed their nations in to two classes. wolves and sheep ." J efferson stressed at the same time that if th e American people have been saved this unfort unate situation they owe it only to th e v1gilance of public opinion and the conMant monitoring of the actions of thctr leaders. He added. " If once the y become inaltcntt vc to the public a r ·· you & I & Co n grcs~ & Assemblies Judges & Gove rnors shall all beco e wolves ." The 1789 French Revolution failed because it didn't really believe in th e republican form of government. For this reason it neglected to devise tnstltutions able to enforce the limitation of political power and to teach th e ci ttzenry how to effectively protect their inalienable natural rights. As one of the most astute critics of the French ways has writte n, it ~~onl y very recently that the republican S}Siem of government is no longer under dttack in France: " Wit h de Gaulle and Francois Mittcrand , the monarchic republic tied up with the rep ublican monarch y. and found itself, after 200 years of revolu tio nary turmoil. where it wished to go in its early days ... This is still a far cry from a truly J effersonian democracy.

That was one of the major points brought out during a day-long conference •on animal rights organized by the Office of the Vice President for Univer· si ty Relations, held June 20 in the Center for Tomorrow. The conference was attended by public relations staff. researchers, veterinarians, and administrators from several SUNY campuses, SUNY Central, Buffalo hospitals, and New York University. It was also announced that an animal rights activist was in the auditnce. The big news th at came out at the conference was that a new SUNY-wide co mmittee on animal research is being set up to advise SUNY Provost Jose ph C. Burke. He plans to convene it in late summer or early autumn. One mission of the cqmmittee will be to tell the researchers' side of the story - how aruma! research helps human welfare, Burke told the Reporter. .. We're all interested in animal welfare . but that 's different than animal rights," Burke explained. " Animal rights , if carried to an extreme, would make it difficuh or impossi ble to conduct resea rch on animals. Neither our societ y nor our Univers ity can accept that. " B ur ke's advisory commiitu will be co mposed of re presen tat ives of the four Universit y centers as well as arts a nd scie nce s co ll eges that co ndu ct research usi ng ani mals. Members will be culled from ca mpus experts - chairs of the campus laboratory animal care committees, pri ncipal investigators. and administrators. It will also include peo· pie from SUNY Central. The purpose of the committee is to share ideas on how to protect the welfare of animals and how to conform to va r· io us State and federal regulations, Burke said. It became clear at the conferen ce that researchers are very confused by the rapidly changing regulations. A maj or concern is a rece nt court ru l· ing that would foroe Stony Brook to allow the public to attend meetin gs of the campus• Institutional Animal Care a nd Use Committee. (The campus an imal care committees review applications for research invol ving animals and ass ure.. that the research is in line with institu· tional, State, and federal guidelines.) SUNY is appealing the ruling. It wants the meet ings to remain closed to protect trade sec ret s a nd other co nfiden tial information. If the ruling agai nst Stony Brook stands. parts of the meetings may be closed to the public, but it 's unclea r which parts, acco rding to Carolyn Pasley of the SUNY Counsel's office. t the UB conference, the speakers reiterated the theme of standing together. John Deats, director of public relations at New York University. said that when one researcher at NYU Was targeted in a protest by an animal rights group, the whole un iversity got involved with the ,matter. At NYU , "we developed a consensus among the faculty: no researcher can stand alone," he said. Deats also emphasized that universities must open their labs - not to animal rights activists, but ~o representatives of A the public. th at is, to the media. That suggestion was echoed by Charles (Bud) Middleton, director of the Divisio n of Lab Animal Resou rces at Stony Brook. It 's important to show that the animals are ex periencing no pain and that there is a compe:ll ing re aso n for the research. he explained. .. But yo u can't give a partial tour."' he warned. " It has to be all or none." The pro blem with ope ning all of the labs is that a number of investigat ors have received death threats, Middleton noted . They fe'a r for t heir safety and the safet y of their families, as well as for the animals and university property. Fred Quimby, d irector of the Center fo r Research Animals at Cornell, noted that after months of protests by animal rights activists, one researcher received a phone call at I a.m. in which an unidentified caller told her that if she didn' drop her research with cats, he would kill her children a nd kill her. The ne xt morning she dropped her work. Co rn ell wants to make sure that doesn't happen to one of its researchers again, Quimby said. It has de veloped a "proactive" fac ulty committee to st ress the point th at animal research has grea t ly be nefi ted bot h burna" and anim al health . It involves represe nt atives from resea rch . teaching, wildlife co nse rvation, and agricultu re. " I th ink tbis lies at the crux of what we all have to do ," he said . ··The time of looki ng at the issues as they relate to our use of animals. with a narrow focus on educa tion or research, is ove r. .. Standing alo ne is th e way that we're goi ng to be split up a nd the way th a t eve ntuall y we'll lose th is battle. I. for o ne, feel that we a ll have the sa me ves ted in terest and we're a ll going to approach this in B solidified ma nner ... Academic inves tigators sho uld a lso back researc hers who work in consumer pro d uct sa fet y t es tin g s in ce tho se researche rs use man y of the same kinds of tests used in academia, said Barbara Rich of the Natio nal Association for Biological Research. John Naughton, de an of the med ical school and vice president fo r clinical affairs at U B, noted that most people in medicine are indifferent to the iss ue of animal research. The scientific communit y must buiJd up support and form coalitions. 4D Letters "-EDITOR: .

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

Voice of America broadcasts may be gelling the word out to many people in China, Wu said, but there are many others, even in Beijing, who do not understand what is happening. What was not made immediately clear in the West, Alullo observed, is that the struggle involves issues of concern to the general population, not just the students. "ln contrast to what most of us .have seen here in the United States, the demonstrations are not just student demonstrations any longer; if they were just student demonstrations it would be easier for the. government to deal with them," said Alutto.

"All the citizens, all the people of China, they have the same thoughts, the same ideas, they don' like this government, they are against the government, .. agreed Lid a Zhen, a graduate student at Roswell Park. " I don' think the students will be crushed completely because the peoples' hearts are with the students. They know the students are standing for them ." T be amount of bloodshed last weekend came as a shock, Alullo said, considering the comparatively calm climate of China the preceding week. "I think that the general feeling was the military could come in. would come in. would essentially isolate the students, and through some negotiations that might take place at the national level, would come up with a solution that would at least return things to what had been normal," he said. In the days before the shooting began, "you saw groups of army vehicles lined up in the road with troops in them, interacting with .citizens surrounding the trucks and you didn' see any arguing. You saw what appeared to be confused troops who weren' sure why they were there or what they were expected to do. " If you got out of the Beijing area," Al utto continued, "what was most impressive was the extent to ~which the general population honestly believed , that the People's Liberation Army would never, ever turn on Chinese citizens . ...

" What we feel about this is that what the students are doing in China is 100 ptr cent right," Wu said. "It's a point in time when peOple are thinking differentl y. are no longer accepting what they are so used to. This is a trend that cannot bt reversed. "You can' say this is because of the influence of the United States or any other country - that's out' of the qu es· tion.

ID , 2 engineering students arrested for computer thefts pair of UB electrical engineering students was arrested for the theft of computer eq uipment from Baldy Hall over the Memorial Day weekend . A subseq uent search of the ir homes turned up over $70,000 wo rth of com puter hardware and software taken from the North Campus over the last ten months. Public Safety officials considered . the possibility that the two students may have been part of a larger crime ring. Days later. their suspicions were hardened as more stolen U 8 computer equipment was found abandoned and destroyed in a garbage dumpster behind University Plaza across from the South Campus. A he initial arrest occured shortly after mid night on May 28. The arresting officer, Inspector Daniel Jay, said the students broke into an office in Bald y Hall, stole the computer equipment, and walked out onto Putnam Way to survey the scene for escape. Jay said that he then saw Yuko Sato, 23, of Buffalo, open the trunk door of her hatchback, as Afshar Sadaghiany, 26, of Amherst, carried the computer eq uipment worth $8,500 toward the car. Once the stolen goods had been placed in the car, officers approached the ve hicle and arrested the students . Director of Public Safety Lee Griffin said they also found a crowbar. Trained police dogs soon discovered that the equipment had come from the Baldy Hall office of Professor David Farr. Sadagbiany and Sato were charged with burglary and grand larceny. Sadaghiany was also charged with possession of stolen property, possession of a burglary tool, and criminal mischief. The students were arraigned May 28 before Amherst Town Justice Edward L. Robinson and remanded to the Erie County Holding Centu. Bail was set at $100,000 for each, but later reduced to $5,000 for Sato, who is out on ~hat amount. As of Tuesday mormng, T Sadaghiany was still being held . On the evening of May 28, $70,000 of stolen UB computer equipment was found in the students' apartments and in a storage facility Sadaghiany had rented on Niagara Falls Boulevard. Technical journals and closed circuit televisions used for imaging were also found . T he case took anotherturn on June I. A security officer for the University Plaza on Main Street noticed computer equipment in a dumpster, damaged and defaced. He notified Amherst police, who in turn notified Public Safety. Senior Public Safety In ves tigator Frank Panek said the equipment was identified as having been taken from UB during the last school year. He said it was valued at $20,000 and guessed that the thieves had heard of the Sunday arrest, panicked , and unloaded the stolen material. Griffin said that over SIOO,OOO of computer equipment has been taken from various buildings near the Spine area of the North Campus. He added that Public Safety had six officers working on the case at the time of the arrest. .. h was a covert surveillance opcr"'at ion based on our suspicion that the thefts were committed by either a student or an employee. We thought this . simply because the criminals showed an intimate knowledge of the Universi ty." The thieves concentrated on areas w1th the · most expensive equipmen.t and carefully avoided areas with survetllanc<. he said. "We believe more students art involved in the thefts. More stolen compute"R will probably be found. The investigation is continuing. The~e arc going to be follow-ups," Panek s~td . Panek said that UB plans to eventually take the thefts to the district auofney and present them to a grand jury. ID �June 8,1989 Summer No.1 SUNY will intensify min~rity efforts By JEFFREY TREBB Reporter StaH UNY Central and local admin· istrators are using several new approaches and intensifying ·earlier ones in thei r attempts to increase the minority presence on State University of New York campuses. Announced during last month•s meeting of the SUNY board of trustees by Chancellor D . Bruce Johnstone, the plans include the creation of a fund 1 enabling campus departments to hire more minorit y facult y. Additional funding fo r the a lready existi ng minority fellowships is intended to aid minorities at the graduate level, while new recruitment offices placed throughout the State are designed to lift undergraduate minorit y enroll ment . The minority faculty hiring fund, included in the current SUNY budget, is contingent on fi nal reso lution of that budget (see se parate sto ry). Johnstone e. plai ned that the P.roposed hiring fund would provide aSs is t ance to those S camp us depa rtment s who have a particular minority ca ndidate in mind . but are unable to pay his or her salary beca use they lack the finances . Frank G. Pogue, SU NY vice chancellor for student affairs and s peciaJ programs, helped formulate the new plans and said the fund would provide for 30 new minority positio ns annually for the next three years, fo r a total of 90. The money co uld go anywhere in the SUNY system toward the hirin g of full . associate. or assistant professors . He said the new minority hiring initiative would add needed strength to the bargaining power of SUNY schools. Full-time minority teachers now comprise II per cent of the total SUNY faculty , or nearly 10,000 members. onald H . Stein, vice president for university relations at UB. said that the University at Buffalo has the "same R problem every school throughout the c ountr y has .. because man y major universities now compete for a small number of minority facult y, engendering "very fierce co mpetition." Still, "special effons" often end in s uccev . he said. mentioning tha t the lfB mec!ical sc hoo l added four mino rit y faculty last ye ar. But Stein also emphasized the relatedness of the fac ulty and graduate proposals. The obvious way to build a larger minority faculty is by recruit ing minorit y students in latler numbers and "getting them into the pipe line," he said . In fact , the two plans are being coord inated in Alban y by Pogue and Provost Joseph Burke. Stein said that UB is curre ntl y the " most successful i n the SUNY system in attract ing minority' graduate students"' and the most practiced in finding financial suppon for these students. Denise Krallman, of In stitutional Studies at UB, said ten per cent of graduate students at the University at Buffalo are minorities. This compares with a SUNY average of eight per cent, according to fall 1988 figures. S UNY administrators are also working on t a rget levels of undergraduate minority enrollment a nd retention ... 1 th ink if we can set some targets that are honest . that are achievable but challenging, it might be helpful ," said Johnstone, acknowled~ng that the issue of targets , goalS'. and quotas for minorities has in the past raised .. lots of concerns:' in education and ot her areas. According to Herbert Gordon. SUNY vice chancellor fo r gove rnment al a nd univers ity relatio ns. administration plans will establish a nd s tress a .. goal to wo rk toward s .. as o pposed to a quota o r a "set-aside ... Gordon said that an aggregate goal will be set by S U Y Central for the entire J 80.000-stude nt system. Those involved in Albany will then work individuall y with each SUNY campus to increase absolute and proportionate minority enrollment. In the fall of 1988, 14 per cent of UB undergraduates were minorities. while the SUNY average for the sa me period was 13 per cent, according to Krallman . R ecruitment offices h a ve been organized in New York City, in Albany, a nd across SUNY campuses in o rder to raise black and Hispanic enrollment. Accord ing to Pogue, the o ffice on Park Ave nue in Manh attan sponsors trips allowing disadva ntaged or underrepresented minority students from the city t o visit upstate schools. The recencl y c reated office in Alban y oversees st milar recruitme nt offices o n every State Unive rsi ty of New Yo rk campus. Pog ue con tinu ed . Robert Palmer. vice pro vost fo r student affairs at UB. said similar efforts have been successful in the past. " In 1988-89 enrollment for underreprese nted minorities, graduate and undergrad uate, reached an all time high for the ins titution . From 1982 to 198 8 , undergraduate minorit y enrollment increased by II per cent, graduate enrollment by 38 per cent. And in 1988, there was a 100 per cent leap in the enrollment of re~ularl v admitted minority freshmen. So I would say that such drive s have the power to suc- ceed ." G UB still awaiting final word on 1989-90 fiscal plan W By ANN WHITCHER ReP!'rter StaH he University is awaiting word on campus allocations before it can determine its financial plan for 1989-90, Vice President for Universi ty Services Roben Wagner said Monday. " We're still in the budget development process for '89-90, and we sho~ld obviously be in the budget execuuon process (now)," Wagner said. "We have not received - though we expect to shonly - the financial plan process, which is the s pecific campus allocations, including the distribution of a number of SUNY lump-sums." Last month, an agreement between Gov. Cuomo and SUNY Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone restored $28 million to the SUNY budget. This followed Gov. · Cuomo's veto of a $200 tuition increase that would have resulted in a $28 million funding gap for SUNY. According to the agreement, the gap will be filled by a combination of longterm bonds, use of SUNY reserves, and T various management initiatives. Wagner explained that le gis la ti ve action is needed for about $22 million of the $28 million in restored funding . He was optimistic a bo ut the outcome. howeve r. "My assumption is that th e Legislature would like to see the SUNY budget for 1989-90 resolved ." T hough the operating base for 198990 appears to be protected, UB administrators are concerned about the long-term effects of the agreement. At the May 16 Faculty Senate meeting, Provost William Gn:iner said much of the original SUNY budget allocation for 1989-90 was based on onetime revenues, such as the refinancing of long-term obligations, rather than on taxes. Last month's compromise, be said , only exacerbates the problem that SUNY will face in a year or two: a funding gap of from $150 to $180 million. , Speaking at the May 18 meeting of the University Council, Wagner said the 1989-90 budget, in light of the recent agreement, will provide: • restoration of the S47 million lumpsum reduction contained in the 1989-90 executi ve budget. • a SUNY S tate operating bud get of Sl.4 billion of which S337.4 million is to be generated by SUNY itself. This isa significant increase in the proportion of SUNY's budget that is s upported by the income SUNY produces, versus State tax suppon , Wagner explained . What are .the implications for UB? According to Wagner, the "two most significant remaining funding issues" for UB in 1989-90 are: • a projected shortfall in tuition scholarship funding that could be as much as S I million, Wagner said Monday. This is the result.of an increase in out-of-state tuition for 1988-419 and a projected funher increase for 1989-90. (The SUNY Trustees have okayed the second phase of this two-part increase.) Formal approval is anticipat~ . • a lack of funding in 1989-90. for teaching hospital su ppon. hile UB awaits word on its allocation fqr the coming year. it will continue "to monitor the filling of positions under the existing guidelines. We must e nsure that at no time the University has on the payroll more individuals than there are authorized FTEs (full-time equivalents)," he said. During the May 17 annual meeting of the voting faculty, President Steven Sample predicted that UB will have to produce more of its own income through increased fees of various kinds and through grants and contracts. There may be a tuition increase in the future, he said. Referring to the way the State found the $28 million, Sample said: "I'm not going to comment one way or another on the wUdom of the approach. I'm very glad our budget has been made whole. But to use the vernacular, it's not going to be 'fat city' next year." If there's not another mid-year budget cut, and UB gets its share of money that 's allocated through SUNY, then UB will have a good chance of moving abead rapidly, Sample predicted. 4D �June I, 11119 Summer No.1 the victim to the hospital.

"This ·walter Mitty mentality' is co unterproductive ." Boot sa id. "By pretending to be what we are not, we lose out on being good at what we are." We shouldn't be offended when a Harvard professo r assesses one of our faculty for promotion and comments that the candidate looks good enough for Buffalo. though perhaps not good enough for Harvard . "That is precisel y the way ~ ought to be." Boot said ...There is nothing in that to be annoyed about.

Tbe Silicon Valley's tremendous growth has brought with it aU of the ills of urban sprawl. Tbe beautiful fruit orchards that once dominated the Santa Oara valley are gone. All that H remains are streets named after prunes. There is incredible traffic congestion despite the fact that ther.,.are com puter-assisted traffic control systems everywhere, and all of the main streets seem to be at least six-lanes wide . The sunshine for which the valley is justly famous is almost constantly tinged with smog. On many days. one can hard ly see the surrounding hills. Soot from automobile emissions quickly covers the car and settles inside the houses as well, presumably, as one's lungs. The air in Buffalo is significantly cleaner! Prospe rity has brought congestion. consumerism, bad ai r, and vistas of shopping centers and computer factories . T he California lifestyle also leaves so mething to be desired . Television news is dominated by traffic reports. Pcople's .. lives are determined by rush hours and commuting routes. Public transpo rtation , except in San Francisco and in those few area served by the BART metrorail system. is poor and seldom used . Californians love the ir cars (I've never seen so many Mercedes-Benzes and J aguar> and there is even a Rolls Royce dealer down the street) and are willing to be controlled by them. People think nothing of driving the equivalent of a trip from Buffalo to Rochester or even Toronto for dinner. At rush hour. the s<K:alled freeways become parking lots. People are overly concerned with self-awareness, health, and leisure. Wh y are there so many tanning salons in an area where sunshine is abundant? Psychologist£ usually with Ph.D.'s hang their shingles fro m every strectcomer. Palm readers and fortune tellers compete with them for clients wanting to learn about themselves and their future . I counted a half-dozen palmistry salons in a two-mile stretch of El Camino Real. There are special shops that deal only with nails (unisex I assume). There are even animal eye "California living makes one reflect on the meaning of quality of life.

Peop le look disgustingly health y. They a re constantly jogging and bicycling on an extensive network of bike paths. They are going to diet workshops. They are consulting psychologists about their inner lives. They arc looki ng into a variety of cult religions. They are takin g up Zen Buddhism.

Are they happ1er and health1er for all this'' We have no evidence except that a great deal of time. energy and money is spe nt in the pursuit of the good life - both inner and outer. It might be that people become psyc hologically unhinged by earthquakes. I experienced my first a few weeks ago and although it was a minor one - a few shops suffered minor damage down in the epicenter in San Jose and our pictures swayed on the walls for a half-minute - it was pretty frightening, It makes you rea lize that there is a force out there that can shake up your house, and perhaps do considerably wor>e, any time. If people are so ~together," why an:nl they friendly? Even the kids, according to my son 'I first-hand research, are not panicularly fJ:1endly. They are slow to aa:ept newcomers and absorbed in their own activities. The adults are not much better. While day-to-day interaction has not re ached the depths of New York City - whm at least put-downs arc done with !rot~ k service is not generally given wu h ;t smile. L et's talk about the cost of living. Everything is expensive. As noted earlier. housing tops the list and is a constant topic or co nversation. Regional planners have said that the area is already hit by a shonage of "ffordable housing and local firms arc expa nding elsewhere. Million dollar houses arc common in Atherton . the Peninsula comm unity with the highest housing prices in the area. The average price of a house in Palo Alto is close to $500,000. An average two bedroom apanment rents for $1,000 per month and up. Everything in the supermarket seems to cost more than in Western New York. Milk is more expensive, as are canned goods. Even fresh fruits and vegetables, grown in. California and shipped nationwide, are no cheaper here. Despite a revolt against high auto insurance rates and one of those crazy and co nfusi ng California ballot initiatives. rates remain high. One could go on .

It is nice to go swimming outdoors in the winter and to play tennis year-rou nd . But there are costs involved . Congestion . high prices, and a culture that seems somehow rootless and a little unbalanced is part of California. There is little sense of neighborhood. Communities do not seem to be well organized as is the case in many of Buffalo's neighborhoods. People move in and out. Few take the time to learn who their neighbors are.

CAIRIIIA 011.11111 Puhlic Saf~ty's vveekly Rerort Public higher ed: a tale of two states 26 and May 26: By PHILIP G. ALTBACH N cws of Governor Cuomo's veto of the SUNY-CUNY tuit ion increase and of continuing struggle over the management and role of public higher education in New York has'reached California. As a New Yorker temporarily teaching at Stanford Unive rsity, the: contrast bc:twecn these two states in public higher ed ucation is striki ng. It may be worthwhile to focus on so me key issues fro m the perspective of the other coast. In Californi a, which also faces a serious fiscal shonfall. there has been no threat to the Unive rsit y of California system. Indeed . the re b co nse nsus tha t public higher ed ucatio n. a nd especially the presti gio us UC system. is an integral part of the state 's basic infrastructure and a key clemen t of its co nt inued economic growth. Berkeley. just across the Ba y from pri va te Stanford Uni vc rsi\Y. ranks at the very top of Am erica s universities. UC campuses in Los A ngc les a nd San Diego a re also nationally ranked . California has three public higher education systems - the prestigious UC system, the Califo rni a Stat e Un iversity system. and a vast network of community colleges. There arc inevitable turf battles among them a nd , for the past few years. the CSU campuses have faced some fiscal co nstraints. but in general there is agree ment th at each serves an import a nt funct ion . Overall. public higher education seems less politicized in California than it is in New York. The University of Cali ornia also has a long traditio n of excellence. Much of the state's elite are UC graduates a nd both UCLA and Berkeley have been from time to time, powers in big·time athletics. They arc also top research institutions. which bring millions of dollars in research funding to the state and which have played a role in the state 's impressive economic growth in recent years. The UC system is elitist. It admits only the top 10 per ce nt of the sta te's high sc hool grad uates. While there has bc:en so me criticism of uc·s admissions policies and charges th at it discriminates against Asian-Americans. there is acce ptance of the ~stem's highly selective nature. . The si tuati on in New York stand s 10 sharp cont rast. Public higher education faces a mult iplicit y of problems. For one th ing. SUNY has no sig nificant historical tradition . Indeed. it was th e last major public un iversity system to be established . Few of the S tate's elite are SUNY grads Columbia. Co rne ll and of course St. John 's (the Governor's a lma mater) have mo re poli tical clout. and these a re all private institut ions. cw York. provides more public mone y to pri vate higher educatio n th a n does any ot her state, and thu s higher education funding has become a contentious political iss ue. often with the private institutions struggling against SUNY and CUNY. significant part of the problem is that neither SUNY no r CU Y has esta~lis hed for itself a clear public image and missio n. In California . public higher education is d iv ided by A funct ion, a n arrangement th at was put in place after careful stud y. UC is the elite, research·based sys tem, which offers top quality graduate instruction. CSU provides a mass-based undergraduate education throughout • the state and some mast er's level programs. The co mmunit y colleges offer prac tical courses as well as access to higher educati on to virtually every high school gradu ate. There are o ppon un ities for students to tran sfer among th e va riou s institut ions. In New York, public higher ed ucat io n is defi ned by the accide nt of "What is needed in New York is a real commitment and understanding of how to build a university. Maybe Cuomo stlould visit California . ... " geography, with CUN Y opera t ing with in the fi ve boroughs of New York City and su'\o<Y in the rest of the state - that vast regio n derogatorily referred to by City residents (and media leaders such as the New York Times) as .. upstate ... Neither institut ion has a clear missio n or role. SUNY. now the largest slnglc un iversity syste m in the nati on, co nta ins within it everything from com mun ity colleges. maritime colleges, ceramics insti tutions. four·year unde rgradu ate colleges. and large and complex multiversities like the ca mpuses at Buffalo and Stony Brook. At least two of SUNY's campuses are poised to become " world class" universit ies. In 1989. Buffa lo was admitted to the prestigious Associati on of American Uni versi ties. the club of the elite instituti ons. Stony Brook is well rega rd ed in many of its field s. But these institutions are not give n either the resources or the mand a te to fulfill their potential. For a un iversi ty to develop into a mature and reall y effec tive instituti on . it mu~t be given bo th reso urces and auto nomy. lt must also be: giv-t n time. Again. the California situation is illustrative . Both UCLA and. more recentl y. San Diego were earma rked for development into " world class .. insti tution s. UCLA, after 40 years. has clearl y achieved th at status. San D iego is abo ut to . The state has inves ted hea vily in these campuses. not onl y in ph ysical facilities but, more importa nt. in high quality facult y. California has also recog nized th at these campuses must be given adequate resources and the freedom to develop. In New York. one can see stop-go funding. generally inadeq uate reso urces to support the deve lopment of top qualit y institut io ns. and constant interference from the Governor's office in the affai rs of the uni versi ties. It has tk:en said that faculty salaries are fairly good in SU Y but that support funding is te rri ble. Both ha ve to be provided . The following Incidents were reported to the Deportment of Publte Safely bo-n April • A man rcpon~d Apri l 27that while he \U.!i on the sidcwallc ouU1dc Fargo Quadrangle, he was hit on the shoulder with a water balloon. The point here is a very si mple one. IT the major SUNY centers. and especially Buffa lo and S tony Brook. a re to fulfill their potential. they mu st be given the funding, the stability. and the aut ono my to deve lo p. So far. none of these has bee n given with a ny co nsiste ncy! Top unive rsit ies ca nn ot be built overnight nor can they grow with constant interfe re nce and criti cism from Albany. U Y itself does not have a clearlv articulated missio n or role in the · state. It survi ves annual budget b a ttle ~ . It tries to save all of its ca mpu ses. It see ms to be unable to targe t in~ titut io n ~ for growth (or for retrenchmen t ) and to kee p to its plans. When fiscal problems ari se .. the typical response is to dole ou t cuts ··across the board .. without any prio rities being established . The SUNY Ce ntr al Administrat ion. located just a sto ne's throw from Alba ny's Vi ctorian stateho use, is in a particularly difficult situ ation. h has not developed a traditi on of ind ependence. It is under co nstant siege, both fiscal and politicaL In contrast. the Un i ve rsit~ of Califo rnia system headquarters is in '"Berkeley, ne xt to the syste m's flagship campus. The CSU headqua ncrs is in far·off Los Angeles. ei ther i in Sacra ment o. For New York to de velop a firstclass public uni ve rsi ty system . one that will cpntri bute to th e State's economic future and that will provide th e human reso urces needed for th e 21st ce ntury. it must proceed on several fro nts. It must permit its public universi ties to develop a clear se nse of mission. It must provide th e reso urces needed over a sustained period of time to permit uni versi ty develo pment. The tuition inc rease. at leas t for SU Y is. by the way. a nonissue. Studies have ind icated tha t the S200 increase will not deter access and th at lower income ew Yorkers ha ve access to State programs to make up fo r the increase. In California. where in-state tuition is Sl.670 per year. so mewhat higher than in New York. there is no se nt ime nt for making public higher ed ucat ion free o r for lowering tuiti on. ln ·New Yor k. the State and part icu larly the Governor. must provide sufficie nt breat hing room fo r SU Y to plan. develop. and fulfill its po tent ia l. In New York. there is too much accountability and too little au tonomy in higher education. SUNY itself must set careful priorities based on rat ional planning and a sense of the good of the e nt ire system. rather th an a ki nd of balance of power amo ng the contending acade mic ficfdoms . So far. the Empire State has not fulfilled its poten tial in public higher education. Governor Cuomo has agai n created a crisis that will inevitably harm both SUNY and CU Y. even if its is solved . What is needed is real co mmitment and understanding of how to build a university. Maybe Mario Cuomo should take a sabbatical in California to how it is done.

There were 12 separate ceremonies, including the most prominent, the University's 143rd General Commencement, held on a glorious Sunday morning in the fittingly named Alumni Arena. The near-capacity audience of friends, relatives, and parents watched quietly from . above, hoping to locate their favorite graduates in the sea of dark ceremonial gowns stirring on the floor below. Most of these spectators probably failed, at least until each attending member of the Class of \989 climbed the stage to receive the paper proof of his or her effort' anft achievement. Before that point, U B President Steven B. Sample delivered remarks in lieu of a featured speaker and presented honorary degrees to novelist John M. Coetzee and composer Philip Glass while M. Robert Koren presented UB professor and distinguished literary critic Leslie Fiedler with the 1989 Chancellor Norton Medal. M - S ample's remarks centered on the February election of UB into the 58-member again in 1986. Sample noted the interna- Association of American U ni- novels. which address the "intense social problems of versities (AAU) . a gro up limited to the upper two per cent of American universities. U 8 became the first public university in New York or New England to receive this honor, he said, despite its relative youth and despite the emphasis that New Yorkers traditionally place on private higher education. · AA U membership will help the University recruit students and faculty, secure funding from the State, and compete tional acclaim of the author's for grants and private dona- tions. Sample said . before reminding students that their degrees are now "wonh ·more. at least in the way they will be perceived in the competitive pecking order among institutions." He finally asked the graduates to join th e more than 100,000 alumni proud of their alm3 mater. Coetzee, a professor of general literature at the Unive rsity of Cape Town, South Africa, was awarded an Honorary Doctor of letters .degree. He served here as an assistant professor of Englis h from 1968 to 1971 and returned to UB as Butler Prt>fessor of English in 1984 and South African society." He also mentioned Coetzee's " brilliant use of symbolism and insightfu l perception of the motives which underlie the cruel treatment of one human being by another." Glass was presented with an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree and praised as "one of the most exciting and innovative composers of contemporary music in the world." Sample spoke of Glass' early interests, and training in classi.caJ music. his subsequent focus on contemporary music in the mid-1960s. and the breadth of his current interests, including an embrace of classical, rock, jazz, and fusion styles. Glass has been a visiting professor and guest artist at U 8 on several occasions. In 1987. he was a highlighted artist at the orth American cw M ~ic Festival held here and at downtown locations. T he ono n Medal was instituted in the 1920s by Chancellor Charles P. Nonon who served as chief executive officer of the Universi ty from 1909 to 1920. Since 1925. the Univer>ity Council has awarded it in recognition of great accomplishment in all fields of human endeavor. Fiedler, who was awarded this highest University honor for his .. preeminent contributions to literary criticism and American literature,n joined the UB faculty in 1964 as professor of English. Since 1973, he has served as the Samuel L. Clemens professor of literature. In 1986, he was named a distinguished professor by the State University of New York . Fiedler's commentaries on American culture and his cont,iilution to the scholarship of Joyce, Shakespeare, and Dante were mentioned as several of the professor's most conspicuous achievements. Koren went on to say that Fiedler has been called the father of modern-day, Amefican literary .criticism. that he has a bibliography of more than 800 publications, and that he is a superb teacher and the winner of numerous fellows ~ips including two Fulbrights and a Guggenheim. Fiedler now belongs to the_ American Academy and Institute of Arts and letters, Koren added. "His teaching and scholarship have distinguished our Universi ty as much as his originality and vi t ality have enriched our lives,_. said the Council chairman. P resident Sample then conferred 2,278 degrees on candidates from the Faculty of Ans and Letters, tbe Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the Faculty of Social Sciences, and selected fields of study at Roswell Park Memorial Institute . Degree candidates from the School of Health Related Professions joined the General Commencement for the first time this year. Only then, during the presentation of degrees, did the familiar graduation antics begin, the ostensible order of the proceedings .belied by the tossing of caps, by the popping of champagne corks, and by the sporadic shouts of varying intensity and enthusiasm. The cheers contrasu:d with the more solemn, personal congratulations given after the ceremony, much as the hclterskelter scrambles of parent photographers attempting to focus President Sample, a r - - - graduate, and a diploma in the same frame foreshadowed and counterpointed the more informal and relaxed pictures taken later in the lobby and outdoors in ihe early afternoon sun. MEDICAL SCHOOL F or the 143rd time, the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has brought new physicians in to the practice of medicine. On May ·21, during a ceremony held in Alumni Arena, 140 Doctor of Medicine degrees were conferred along with 26 new Doctors of Philosophy and six master's degrees. As proud parents and families looked on, the new Doctors of Medicine strolled down the aisle and received their hoods and diplomas in a ceremony that featured vocal music by the Dermatones, the U B medical school a cap pella �a, 1989 Sunvner No. 1 June . went into allowing you realize yo ur dream ... to He went on to ask the students to also re member and support their medical school.

While this act is ..something of a finan- cial burden," Curtin said it has proved to be worth the cost . "The children are no longer in a cloistered atmosphere they are o ut in the main- stream," said Curtin . Furthermore, he added. "it is also good for the other students. The discipline of the handicapped is an example lor us all." Curtin concluded by re iterating the basic message of his address to the graduates: .. Your investment in educatjoo is important to the future of this country." LAW SCHOOL T he Law School held its IOOth commencement ceremony May 21, with degrees being awarded to over 240 students. Judith S. 35 candidates for the master of science in nursing at the School of Nursing's graduation ceremonies. • Linda Bretz, director of the Rochester and Monroe County Library, gave · the principal 'address as 102 students received master of library science degrees at ceremonies for the School of Information and Library Studies. • The School of Pharmacy awarded 104 bachelor's degrees; three master's degrees, and 15 Ph.D's. • The School of Architecture and Planning awarded 68 bachelors of professional studies in architecture; 49 bache- Kaye, associate judge of the Court of Appeals, delivered by Associate Dean Lee Albert of the Law School, Dean David Filvaroff extended appreciative remarks to the families of the graduates,. and the graduates themselves for "the fulfillment of your ho~ and dreams." He congral\1lated the students and encouraged them to "give back your effort in a commii"./:ntto public service. As \'l'o/ IOOth class. go forth and dci"good well." Provost William Greiner also congratulated the graduates for "a job well done." and said the occasion was .. a day for remembering th e successes and failures of the law school experience." Greiner also said he hoped graduates " feel joy a nd sor- th~ row, success and failure . . and have the wisdom to distinguish between true success and the success that is really failure. Like success, failure is a relative thing. Failure may be the first step to success ... Greiner's remarks were fol - lowed by greetings from Stephen E. Cavanaugh, president of the Erie County Bar Association; Joseph G. Mako wski. president of the Law Alumni Association ; and Professor John Henry Schlegel. who delivered the faculty address. S chlegel, who confessed his bewilderment over hi s selection as faculty speaker, offered both conventional and unconventional advice . "I believe in being deadly serious or completely off the wall," he said. "The soggy midland is to be avoided. Things like this speech fall in that soggy midland." Schlegel commended parents for "being there when the work was too hard, too boring, lors of arts in environmental or too confusing. None have made it here alone. "We have taught you nothing - the question is what you have learned from us .... Take the tiger that is the law by the tail and give it an extra twist for me," he concluded. The student address was given by Emmanuel Nneji , a native of Nigeria who has won numerous awards throughout his academic career. "The only way to assure that our profession survives is to be ethical and to realize that the profession deals with human beings and the human condjtion,., he said . Nneji encouraged students to protect the rights of the people in the community and to keep in mind that "if something is wrong, we · should change it and make it better." K aye, who delivered the commencement address, has a long and prestigious law career that began with gra~ua­ tion, cum laude, from New design; 12 bachelors of arts with a special major in design studies; 45 master of architecture degrees, and II master of urban planning degrees. • Kenneth E.

SNYDERMAN Staff that they thought was too hot to handle," said Colin Chapman, ~axon 's communications director. _ Paxon was called by a friend of Chodrow's when it became apparent that Chodrow was in trouble. He' then notified the State Department. "Fortunately. things came together pretty quickly and he was able to take care of hi mself." ' chapman said, not ing that Chodrow did not need much help from the U.S. government. On Monday, May 8. Chodrow was driven to David. He spent the rest of the day secluded , as his hosts tried to deter· mine how to get hfm out of the country. It was important to the Human Rights Committee that he get away. Chodrow said. because " I had film , and other stuff. and fraudulent documents, and the whole bit. They said 'we gotta get this guy out.'" Repo~er unning through fields. jumping over barbed wire fences, wading through small rivers, and evading guards' searchlights were some of ihe things David Chodrow said he had to d o in order to sneak ou t of Panama. Chodrow. who studied history here until 1986 and plans to soon resume his UB studies. was acting as an observer to the Panamania n elections in the first and second weeks of May. This was until he found out that the government had issued a warrant for his arrest and he was forced to flee the country under cover of night. R A ftcr Chodrow ar rived in Panama on Ma y 4. he was se nt to the city of Boqucte by th e Pa naman ia n Committee for Human Right s to observe the elections th ere. He was driven there. after a night to th e nearby city of David , on May 6. Chodrow sa~d the election went bad at its sta n . .. From the very beginning, there were problem~ . There was not one polling area I went to I was the only observer in thi s area - that opened on time. Not one. Some ope ned several hours late. ·· Other problems soon cropped up. Chodrow ex plained that the way the Panamanian voting worked. the voter stepped behind a curtain and faced a table with ballots for each party sp read ou t along the top of the table. Because the cu rt ain did not reach the ground. observers co uld sec where the vo ters were standing and deduce which ballots they were choosing. "People complained about that." Chod row said. In addition. " at most of the polling areas. there were ei ther n ot enough bal· lots for the opposition parties or else none at all," he said . As a result. voters had to ask election officials for the ballots the y wanted. which meanj that. again. their votes were no longer sec ret. C hod row said another problem with the election was that so me people may ha ve voted several times. He pulled out a slip of paper printed in Spanish and explained that it gave the bearer permission to vote somewhere other than his or her home district. "They would come up and present this; they wouldn't need a voter ID card or anything. they'd just present this document, they 'd go ahead and vote, and then they'd leave - with this document - and go and vote so mewhe re e lse ... Chodrow reported. Because many votes were disallowed by the elections officials, "I was asked to actively intervene a number of times go into the rooms and say 'why are you throwing out these ballots'!' There were a lot of ballots at the tables that were annulled -as much as a third or a half," Chodrow said. "Which (his intervening) is one of the reasons why I got in trouble." Chodrow explained that the tally sheets for the voting were called Aetas. "[he way the election was supposed to be conducted was that votes would be counted up , the totals would be recorded on the Aetas, and then the ballots were supposed to be burned. Copies of the Aetas were supposed to be given to all of the parties' observers. "A lot of the Aetas were simply stolen. The voting would be stopped at a table for an innocuous reason; thcy•d run o ut and burn the ballots, and then they would ru n away with the Aetas. hod row said it was decid'ed that he would leave via Costa Rica. But since he couldn't use the highways, he was forced to find ·a more creative route and follow the road less traveled. "Some people took me over the moun· tains, avoiding the Pan-American Highway. and through banana plantations. I think I went through 30 miles of banana plantations," Chodrow said . When he was near the border, Cho· drow said he was forced to wait until dark . Then , he was driven through the town in a true ~ . and " when we were about five miles from the border, we (Chodrow and his guide for the next few hours) were dropped off in a sparsely wooded area and I was told two things before I got out of the truck . "One was, when t he uuck stops, jump out and run and follow this guide and don' say a word. The other thing was if a guard catches you, they will probably shoot you." Chodrow said. To get to the border, Chodrow was forced to wade through five small rivers , go through "countless" barbed wire fences . Then, he had to sneak past two "border guard sub-stations" that were equipped wi th searchlights. "If they had been looking in our direction, they would have seen us," Chodrow said. Finally, he had to run to Costa Rica. . "h was a very shon run, but it was run after we had trekked thro ugh all this water and stuff." Upon arriving in Costa R ica, they celebrated. "The first thing I saw was a bar, so we stopped and got a beer," Cho· drow said with an impish grin. C "I mean literally - run out to cars and take off. "A sa result of all the things I was doing, the photographs and the intervening in t he process, early Monday morning, I got a call from (the city of) David, from the peo ple who were run· ning the Panamanian Committee for Human Rights down there, and they told me there was a warrant out for my arrest." Chodrow said . -The accusation was 'attempting to act agatnstthe stability of the state,' which i> the sa me charge that the government levies against all the people who oppose it." explained Bosco Vallarino, press attache for the Panamanian Embassy in Washington . Vallarino said that in Panama, this is a dangerous , non·specific accusation . "You have to do something against the government, like ta lk. This cha rge has no bail - it carries a jail sen tence of 15-20 years." Vallarino wen t on to say that the Panamanian Embassy in Washington and he himself support the opposition and have denounced the Noriega government. The Panamanian missio11 to the United Nations, which is pro-Noriega, declined to comment. The United States' State Department could not be reached for comment. C hod row was targeted because of his d rive to safeguard the elections, said an aide to Rep. Bill Paxon. "I think it's more his taking photographs of burning ballots a nd people bei ng rougheil up, {At top) Choclrow with guides during escape - faces of eccompllces are blacked out for security reasons. {BoHom) The escape route meandered over mountains and through banana plantations.

SAC--Centor.IIAC Corooplu. �June 8, 111H Summer No.1 Financial disclosure statements now due June 15 T he deadline for filing financial disclosure statements under the State's new Ethies Act has been extended to June 15. The forms .were previously due May 15. Under the law, which was enacted in 1987, policymakers and State employees who make more than $30,000 a year are required to file the elaborate annual disclosure statement beginning with 1988. At U B, there are approximately 1,666 State-funded employees who earn more than $30,000 a year. Research Foundation and UB Foundation employees are not" affected . The statute authorizes the State Ethies Commission, established as pan of the law, to issue exemptions to the disclosure requirement. However, policymakers cannot under any circumstances receive an exemption. Also ineligible for an exemp tion are those making over $30,000 who negotiate or approve contracts or who obtain grants of money or loans as part of their duties. Still to be determined is whether or not faculty members are precluded from an exemption because they apply for researeh grants. Associate Vice President for Human Resources Clifford B. Wilson said the commission "did come out with a firstround list of exempted positions." A list of about 200 was received here; about 160 of these were appropriately identified, said Wilson. Wilson explained that hundreds of job titles have been exempted. These include both professional titles "and a whole bunctl, of CSEA- and PEF-represented titles." All faculty and librarian titles remain under review. however. Wilson said the commission continues to review individual appeals and has decided on some in the affirmative. Others were denied the exemption. Some whose job titles we"< eventually exempted, had earlier applied for an individual exemption and were turned' down. "Something in the job description apparently led the commission to make that decision ... Wilson said . On the other hand, some whose job titles were not exempted were still able to get an exemption based on their individual appeal. Wilson said he's heard that the commission will shortly issue another list of exempted titles. He concluded : "The most critical message fo~ campus readers is this: If they received the form from the commission, and know that their title, or they individually, must file, they must do so by June 15. "If they have received a letter saying that an individual request for an exemption has been denied, but they still haven' received a form, then my advice would be to sit tight until they receive the form." U nder the law, affected employees, their spouses, and unemancipated children are required to list such items as income producing property, stocks and bonds, corporate officerships and inter- ests, board members in assoctauons. partnerships, etc., arid gifts of more than $1,000, except those from relatives. Also reportable is income of more than S I,OOO from honorariums, speaking engagements, partnerships, consultant • fees, real estate rent, dividends, trust income, and the sale of real property, among other items. Employees will only have to list very broad categories of value, however. Also, certain items are excluded. These include ownership of real property, as in a primary or secondary residence. As for liabilities, these only have to be listed when they exceed $5,000. Debts that are excluded include educational loans, home mortgages, home improvement loans , furniture and appliance loans, and car loans. Nor are alimony and child support payments to be reported. Sanctions for failure to file or for falsifying items of information include S I0,000 in civil penalties, criminal prosecution , and / or employee discipline. 4D Five-year plan would reduce enrollment by 3,000 U B has started a five-year plan to reduce enrollment by about 3,000 students by 1993-94, according to Jeffrey E. Dut- ton, director of~ nstitutional studies. In the fall of 1988, there were 28,005 students, he noted , and the target for 1993-94 is about 25,000. (The lower number would include both full- and part-time students, so it would be a reduct ion of only a bout 2,000 full-time equivalents [FTEs].) The numbers of transfer students and freshmen will be reduced the most, though the number of graduate students would be curtailed as well. ... We 're seriously over.oenrolled in rela~ tion to funding levels," Dutton said. The reduction plan assumes that there will be no major change in funding - no vast amounts of new money nor dramatlc cuts, he added . At current enrollment levels, some students have a hard time getting into required classes, then: are long rcgistra- Lion lines, and it's difficult to find enough rooms to seat classes, administrators agreed. "Part of our problem is our success in attracting better and better students," Dutton explained . While the numtier of~tudents in the freshman class has been decreasing each year, it hasn't decreased as much as had been planned. UB bas been setting its targets lower, but overshooting those targets. UB accepts mo'-e students than it expects to actually enroll .• However, a greater pereentage of students than expected has been enrolling . In addition, these tend to be better qualilled students than in tbe past. The better the enter-ing student is; the more likely he or she is to suceeed and stay,' Dutton explained. That pushes retention up and U B ends up with larger classes. For the fall of 1989, the enrollment target is about 27,500. Area will host women's world basketball event this August reater Buffalo has been chosen to host the 1989 Women's World University In vitational Basketball Competition, Burt Flickinger, chairman of Buffalo's bid to host the 1993 World University Games, announced recently. The competition, set for Alumni Arena, will run from August 20 through 26. It is expected to attract more than 200 athletes from up to 12 countries. including Cuba, Poland, the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Australia, and the United States. The Soviet Union, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are considering atteoding. This year's World University Games were originally scheduled to be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, political and economic unrest in that country forced the International University Sports Federation to move the Games to West Germany. After it was concluded that West G Germany could only host a limited number of sports, including men's basketball, the International · university Sports Federation asked the U.S. Collegiate Sports Council if it would host women's basketball. That inquiry was then forwarded to tbe Buffalo Committee of the World University Games. Greater Buffalo is proposiag to host 13 sports in 1993, including both men's and women's basketball. The final decision on that will be made in Duisburg, West Germany, in mid-June. The Games began in 1923 and are held every other year. They are considered to be tbe second largest (to the Olympies) amateur athletic competition in the world, drawing about 7,000 athletes. UB President Steven B. Sample lauded the decision by USA Basketball to bold the event at the world-<:lass Alumni Arena and added that UB is ready to meet the challenge of hosting 4D the event. . .. ,.....,..._,_,........... _._.. _ _ _ ... 1_ --r--. ... --~ ,.-.-~--y er.--."""l!'"'- T.......... &a--. T he largest curtailment would be in the numbers of transfer students. Admission of transfer students may be restricted by as many as 400 full- and part-time students, Dutton said. Transfers as a group have a higher attrition rate than students who are admitted as freshmen, he noted,. so UB wants to look at transfers' erei!entials with a keener eye. "Not only are the numbers too large for our resources, but we may be bringing in students less likely to succeed than fi~t-time freshmen," Dutton said . The jury is still out on whether U B can meet that targeted reduction in transfer students. UB has been recruiting, especially at two-year colleges, and it can' go back on what it's been saying, be noted. "As we modify our admissions standards, we can send the proper signals to those people," he said. In addition to transfers, the number of freshmen students would be curtailed by about 200, and graduate students by 100. (These are very round numbers, Dutton emphasized .) T decrease of 100 in regular freshman admissions and 100 in special admissions he reduction in freshmen includes a 1 categories. t ach of those categories (such as EOP, individualized admissions, foreign students, and Millard Fillmore College matriculating students) will ad mit .. a few less students .... The reduction in graduate srudenl admissions - 100 - is small, Duuon noted. It's an attempt to bring enrollment in line with the goal set by the Graduate and Researeh Initiative (GRI ). .Under the GRl, UB wanted to increase the number of graduate students, but it exceeded its target, he explained. At the annual meeting of the voting faculty in May, President Steven Sample noted that U B is now ranked as a "highly selective" public university. That is, it accepts less than half of those who apply. Sample' added that it's not absolutely clear to him that rejection rates are a measure of quality. 4D To Your Benefit 0.

A romantic comedy and o ne of the greatest tragedies of all time .,;11 be played out this summe r on a hill in Delaware Park. It's the 14th annu al Sh akespeare in Delaware Park, a Theal.l:f and Dance Department extra~-tg-.an za and o ne of Buffa lo's most popular trdditions. On Tuesday throu gh Sunday eve nings, june 27:July 16, oheatregoers gathering be hind the Rose Garde n \\ill be oreaoed to a :~~~i~~:; variety of local music. and some of ohe be 1 performances o f th e year. Opening the festival June 27 is " Kin g lear," which has been called Shakespea re's most pessimistic p lay. h is a universal play as well. notes Kazimie rl Brau n, director of th e 8 production. Braun considers "Ki ng. Lear" "the best. the biggest the most diffi cuh Shakespearean oragedy." The tragedy of a fam ily and a kin gdo m ce nt ers on Lhe o ld king Lear, who divides his kingdom among his three daughters, the n spe nds the rcso of the play in increasing pain anil suffe rin g for his ill<onsidered actio n. In the meantime, all too aware of his a pproaching mad ness. the king begins to understand his faults and failures as a king and fath er. Loyal festival·goers "111 know thao a few liberties are taken in at least one of the productions each summer. Of "King i.Lar," Braun says " My interpretation \\ill be modem. but not from the poim of \dew of form." • Taking the tide role is local actor Chris O'Neill. Other cast members include jerry Finnegan. Victor Talmadge, Evan Parry, Rich ard Wesp, Richard Hummert, Thomas Martin, Thomas Laughlin, Meg Pantera. Eil~n Dugan, J oy D'Agostino Parry, Cashmere Ellis. Richard Lambert, and Thomas Higgins. .. King l...e-ar'' continues through July 16. Then, following a w~k's breathing time, the festival con tinues J uly 2!>-August 6 with "Much Ado About Nothing." directed by Saul Elkin. The reluclant lovers Beatrice and Benedick play out the baule of th e sexes through thei r \\iuy skirmishes in "Much Ado." The play's hero. is made to believe. through malicious villainy, that his mistress has been unfaithful 10 him. Full of multiple plots and misu nderstandings, amb iguity and idealism, "Much Ado" wraps up \\ioh the rwo main ch aracters tran sfonned from within by "Cupid, th e only maochmaker." Though ohe story will remain intact in th e UB production. says Elkin, "comempo;,ry classical romamic music - by Cole Po ne r. George Gers hwin" " i ll be incorporated and si ngers will ad as "a son of Greek chorus" commenting on the anion. Peter Palmisa no and Bonnie Gould star in "Much Ado," joined by Mich ael Russo, Joseph Natale, Evan Parry. Jerry Finnega n, Richard Hum men, Richard Wcsp, Jennifer Feagi,n, Thr mas Martin. Neil Garvey, Adele Leas, Donald Scime, Lawrence Ne rh in g, and Lorr.1ine O'Donnal. The festivaJ's music dirtttion is by Ray leslee. \\ith Gary Casarella as tec hnical director a nd Na ncy N.

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

BACKGROUND AND STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES 0 n September 16, 1988thefaculty of the University at Buffalo Law School adopted a resolution thai specificall y prohibits discrimina 1ion on the basis of sexual orientation by prospective employers who are seeking to recruit students at the Law School. The general purpose of this resolution is to establish a broadly-based policy of non-discrimination in all of the activities of the Law School, and specifically to prohibit discrimination on the basis of certain factors in on-campus recruiting of law students by prospective employers. The law faculty's resol ution would expressly prohibit discrimination by such employers against those classes of persons that are currently protected by federa l and state statutes, and would also extend the raoge of protected classes to include hom<>sexuals. The law faculty's resolution would require that each employer seeking to recruit at the Law School, or to utilize its facilities or resources to effect such recruitment. must ftrSt sign a statement indicati ng that it is in CQmpliance with the policy of the Law School, i.e., that it does not discriminau: in its employment practices on the ·'-is of raa:. gender, national origin, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation. age, or marital or parental stat us. The law faculty's resolution wouid deny the use of the Law School's facilities and resources to any employer not willing to sign such a statement. The immediate effect of the law faculty's resolution was to bar the Judge Advocates General (JAG) Corps of the several military services from conducting recruiting-'"activities in the Law School. This in tum led to complaints from representatives of the Marine Corps and from certain law students, all of whom felt that the resolution was unfair and i~appropriate. After a good deal of debate and discussion it was decided that enforcement of the law faculty's resolution should be suspended until various related issues could be resolved. These issues can be grouped into three broad categories: 1. What officers of the University at Buffalo have the authority to enact and enforce policy which woukl bar certain outside groups from using campus resources and facilities that would ordinarily he available for use by such groups? More specifically. who at U B has the authority to bar· certain prospective employers from using se rvices ordinarily provided to such employers by career development offices on the camlfus? 2. Is enforcement of the law faculty's resolution permissible under state and federal laws, i.e., statutes, applicable judicial decisions. and authoritative administrative regulations? 3. If the answer to question 2 is ...yes'", would enforcement of the law faculty's reso lution be in the best interests of the Universit y at Buffalo and its several constituencies? There is one point that must be made quite clear in order to esta blish the proper context in which to address these questions. I believe the vast majority of the members of our University community oppose invidious categorical discrim- r--------------, • See ROCNIImonl, page May 11, 1989 Volume 20, No. 21 ..·.

Question 1 Jurisdictional Issues Earl y in the campus debate on thi s mat ter a genera l co nsensus emerged a mo ng a ll parties tha t. within the pro fessio nal staff o f the Uni versit y at Buffalo. only the President has the authorit y to approve and sanction enforcement o f po licies which wo uld have the effect o f restricting access by certain outside groups to campus resources and facili ties, and more specificall y, which would ban certain prospective employers from using the services ordi naril y provided to such employers by camp us career development offices. SUNY Counsel strongl y concu rs with this co nsensus, as do the Provost and I . There is also a general consensus .th at before the President adopts or sanctions enforcement of such a policy, there shou ld be broad cons ult•· tion with various University constituencies. B. Question 2 Issue-s Legal As noted earlier, one effect of the law faculty's resolution would be to bar the armed services of the United States from recruiting in the Law School, since military regulations preclude the hiring of homosexuals or persons over the age of A Legal authority for the enforcement of the law faculty's resol ution has also been said to be supponed by SUNY Trustees· Resolution 83·216 and Governor Cuo· mo 's Exec uti ve Order No. 28 . The Gove rn o r's order prohibits state ags:ncies from discriminating on the Dasis c.ff sexual orientation . That prohibition exte nd s to the prov ision of services or benefits by state agencies, and to employment and advancement within state agencies. T he related Trustees' resolution adopts a simil a r policy for State UnivePsity. These po licies arc binding on administrators o f the executive branch and of the: State Universit y respectivel y. It does not fol low, however. that these administrative policies may be applied to the activi t ies o f third persons, or be used to deny third persons access to state facilities , services. or benefits. In point of fact. SUNY Counsel has consistently advised that the purpose of Trustees' Resolution 83-216 is to regulate S UNY 's own behavior as an employer and direct provider of services, and does not provide a basis for limiting access by outside emp loyers to Universi ty career devel o pment offices. SUNY Counsel ·also cites a recent decision by the New York State Court o f Appeals [Under ll er a/. v. City of New York 65 NY 2d 344 ( 1985)]that sharpl y limits t he: abi lity of a public executive to extend an agency 's internal governing pol icies to outside parties. In Undtr 2 I. the Coun of Appeal s of New York State found th at the Mayor and the Ci ty of New York lacked the authority to enforce the Mayor's Execut ive Order No. 50. This panicular order declared sexual orientation to be an eq ua l employment opportunity standard to be applied. not only with respect to employmen t by the City. but also with respect to third persons who entered into agreements with tht City. Three social service agencies who contracted with the City to recei ve support for their activities sued to restrain enforcement of the order against them. Each of the agencies objected on religious gro und s to the enforcement of Executive Order No. 50. The Coun of Appeals found that the Mayor and the City had no authority to enforce Executive Order No. 50 against _,_.,.-.od .--=.:; ~-:,-· o1 u-.ny A-.oi-Yo<ltol -~---ln131 <:.-Holl,T............ 131-21211. o btain from an official representat ive of "While official each such employer a signed statement assuring that the employer is in full comrestrictions . . . pliance with a ll applicable state and fed· eraJ laws relating to equal opportunity based on moral and afflrmati ve action.

" C. Question 3 - Issues of Principle third persons. In the C ourt's view, such an order, though perhaps effective a<; policy internal to the executive branch. exceeded exec utive auth o rit y vis-a-vis third persons. The Court noted that there is no federal or state statute o r co nstituti o nal provision proscribing disc rimination on the basis of sexual o rient ation. In the absence of such legal authority , the C ourt found that Order No. 50 constituted an inv alid ext ension of executive autho rity which encroac hed o n legislative and judicial prcro gataves in sett ing public policy and in the int erpretation of law. In light of the se veral o pini o ns of SUNY Counsel in this area. and the opinion of the Court o f Appeals in Under Zl eta/. v. City of New York. and based on my discussions with the Provost , I have concluded that enforcement of the Jaw faculty's resol uti on would exceed my legal authority as President o f the University at Buffalo . As SUNY Cou nsel makes clear. how· ever, the president oft he Universi ty does have the right , and indeed the affirmati ve duty , to require that each prospective employer who wishes to utilize U niversity recruiting facilities and services assure the University that the employer complies with all applicable federal a nd state laws relating to equal opportunity and affirmative action. Therefore, every un it of the University at Buffalo that permits prospective employers to use University facilities and services for recruiting purposes shall henccfonh Executive Editor . University Publications ROBERT T. MARLETT S ince I am persuaded that enforcement of the law faculty 's resolution would e xceed my legal authority , there is techmcall y n o need to address Question 3 at all. However. in light of the enormous a mo unt o f time and energy that has been ex pe nded in debating this matter. I believe it ts wo rthwhile to proceed with the co nsideration of Question 3, but in a somewhat broader context. Most. although cenainl y not all. of the a rgument s that have been presented to me in support of the law faculty's resolutio n have been predicated on moral and ethical, as opposed to legal, considerations. During discussions in which I have been involved , most proponents of the resolution have reluctantl y agreed that , within the curre nt framework of federal statutes and court decisions, the categorical refusal of the JAG Corps to hire homosexuals is perfectly legal. But these same proponents go on to argue that s uch categorical discrimination is morally wrong, gross ly offensive and unfair to homosexual law students, and inconsistent with the internal practices and policies of the University, and that therefore the JAG Corps should be barred from recruiting in the Law School. Quite frankly I have a good deal of sympathy with most elements of this argument. But I part company with those of the resol ution 's proponents who co nclude that. buause the JAG Co rps" lawful behavior is morally repugnant and personally offensive to man y members of our academic community, and because such lawful behavior is Editor ANN WHITCHER Weekly C.lendar Editor JEAN SHRADER Art Director REIIECCA BERNSTE• Aasoclate Art Director REBECCA FARNHAM �May 11, 1989 Volume 20, No. 29 Contmued from page 1 inconsiste nt wu h our ow n int e rnal practice s a~ an ms titut 10n . the JA G Co rp ~ sho uld be denied access to o n-ca mpus facilities a nd services no rm all y provided to oth er pros pective employers of law stud en ts . It is s pecificall y this difference between o ur co nclusions that I sho uld like to address in a broader context. Let me begin by stating a principle that I be lieve s hould guide us in matters like the one prese ntly before us: • As a general rule the University at Buffalo should no t bar a ny outside perso n or organization fr o m usi ng Univers ity facilities o r services simpl y beca use the lawful be havio r o r policies of that pc:rson or organization are morall y repugnant or personally offensive to me mbers of the Unive rsi ty commu nity. There are three basic reasons th at I would advance in suppon of this principle. First . we mus t always keep in mind that we arc a public institution. Our facil · ities a re ow ned by the people of New York. and o ur programs arc publicl y sup po rted . All of us who a re me mbers of the facu lt y and staff. whether o r not we ho ld administrative positions, a re stew· ards of a public t rust. We must manage o ur reso urces fairly a nd openl y, and not usc them as a means to make and e nfo rce publi c policy except as that res po nsibil ity is clearly and lawfull y de legated to us. After all. none of us was elected to legislat ive, e xecuti ve. o r j udi · cia I office by the pe ople or thi s state , and we must be careful not to intrude on th e authori ty rightl y reserved to such elected officia l ~ . Wh e re the acti o ns of outside part ies in the large r socie ty clearly violat e s tate or federal law . it ma y be a ppropria te fo r us to forecl ose o r . ~ ~ ~ i t access by such parties to o ur fac&hlles a nd services. But where the behavior of o utside panics in the larger socie ty is lawful , even if we fi nd it odious a nd inco nsiste nt with o ur o wn internal poli· cies a nd prac tices. we must resist the te mptat ion to use limitation of access to our facilities and se rvices as a means of inhibiting s uc h lawful behavi o r. I bel ieve that is exactly what the Co un of Appeals was sayi ng in its deci sio n in Undn l I t l a/. v. City of New Yo rk . Seco nd . among all of the institut ions in o ur society, un iversi ties have a special obligation to maint ai n an ext raordinary degree of open ness. ln~ee~ . . a strong commitment to openness ts so tmponant to the vit ality of academic institut ions in general, a nd o f resear~h universi ties i~ pa nicular . that it so meumcs must prevatl ove r the desi re of man y members of the academic com munit y to maintain the un iversity as a n island of purity wit~in wh a t th ey perceive to lx the corrupting sea of society at large. This commttment to openness o~ the pan of universi ties is closel y assoct~t e~ with the even mo re fund a mental pnnctple of academic freedom . To the best of my knowledge, none of the proponents of the law facult y's resolution has adv<r cated imposing any direct limitation on free speech in the public areas of the University. But in the passionate defense of the moral correctness of that resolution , some have come dangerously close to doing so. Indeed I have been amazed, and even a bit frightened, at the extra· ordinary lengths to which some. of my ~ol­ leagues would have me go 10 barnng from all but the most public areas of our campus those o utside perso ns and organ· izations whose behavior such .colleagu.es believe to be morally offensove. Whole official res trictions of access based on moral considerations might not technica lly vio la te the principle of academic freedom, I believe they would dearl y ha ve a c hilling effect o n th e o pe nness of debate a nd intellectu al inqu iry within th e un iversity. The th ird reaso n I wo uld ad va nce in suppon of my principle is closel y tied to the seco nd , a nd can best be sta ted in the form of a question: If we are going to excl ud e cenain o uts iders from our facilities a nd services on the basis of mo ral conside rations, whose moralit y s ho uld we use as a standard ? Histo ry provides a very clear answer to th is question ultimately, such exclusions will be based on the moral standards of th ose who have the legal power to do the excluding. B. Lyn Behrens e.g., president$, chancellors. a nd govern- ing boards. University officials and administrators are often accused of trying to increase their power and aut ho rit y. In th is instance I am trying to dim inish my own . and , by persuasion, that of the U B Council, the SUNY Chancellor. and the SUNY Board of Trustees. I am absolutely convinced that. o nce we begin to urge chief executives a nd governing boards of"universities to ban outs iders b ased on moral , as opposed to legal con· siderations. t here will be no end to it. We have t nl y to look back a t American higher education pri or to 1960, with its wide-ranging restrictions o n access by outside g roups to ca.mpus fac ilit ies based o n the moral prece pts of trustees and regents , to see what would surel y ensue if "e persist in att empts to reo pen this Pa ndora's box. Cenainly I am not suggesting th a t we in th e University lack the au th ority to regulate access by o utsiders to ou r fa cili· ties and serv ices. or to regu late the behavior of such o utsiders once they arc on our campus. We do indeed have such a uthority, a nd we exercise it every day. What I am suggesti ng is th a t we shou ld not exclude outside rs simply lxcaust their lawful behavior in soc iety a t large is moraJiy repugnant o r personally offensive to those of us inside the Universi ty. or fails to comport with our own inte rnal policies and practices. Nor am I s uggesting th at members of our academic community sho uld be morally neutral. I believe that facu lty, students, a nd staff sho uld advocate a nd defend their moral beliefs wi th vigor a nd passion. Each of us has the right to encourage our elected lawmakers to impose o ur o wn perso nal moral sta ndards on socie ry at large through ~he mec ha n ism of s tatutes and executive orders. Indeed, fo r better or worse , o ne of the traditi onal function s of a democratically..elected legislature is to impose by force o f law upon the whole o f ou r society the moral co nsensus of the majority. And each of us within the acade my has the right to vi goro usly, but peacefull y, protes t t~ prese nce o~ o ~r campus of ou tsiders wh ose behavtor 10 the larger soc iety we find to be morally offensive. Therefore. I wou ld hope th at in the future we will resist the temptation to ba r o utsiders from ou r facilities and services simply because we do not like what they sta nd for, or because we disagree with their lawful behavior in society a1 large. I firm ly believe that in so doing we will best serve the interests of aU the co n· stituencies of this great U niversity. 0 - STEVEN B.

And what the Pay hike approved for SUNY presidents T he SUNY Tru!> tecs have approved pay raises for 29 co llege presidents in the system. the Associated Press reported last week . The vote was unanimous at the April 26 meeting. All 29 presidents were given raises of at least five per ce nt , retroactive to June. The raises for seven of the presidents exceeded five per ce:nt, but these are retroactive to April I . According to SUNY Associate Vice Chancellor Thomas Manni!_. the higher raises for the seven presidents were awarded either because they work in the more expensive New York City metropolitan a(ea or because they are mak ing less than market rates for educators with their specialities. Presidents of the fou r un iversit y ccn· ters. including Steven Sample. e~ch received five per cent rai ses. incrcasm g the ir annual sala ries to Sl20.750. The five pc:r cent raises were consistent with pay hikes the Legislature approved last year for managers in other State agencies. Mannix told the Associated Press. The raises were given conditional approval by the Trustees in January. but formal action had to be delayed ror at least 60 days so the raises could be reviewed by the fiscal committees or the Legislature. Mannix added . He said no objections were raised by these committees. No raises were given to Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone or to any other central administrator or SUNY. $ �May 11 , 1989 Volume 20, No. 29 ® Are You Famffiar With The SIIIOking Poi"Ky At UB? 0 Yes O lo Accordi ng to Un iversi ty guideli nes.

D �May 11, 1989 Volume 20, No. 29 THE IIUQUR QUESnGI Time is right for disarmai'Dent, Chicago archbishop says By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN raised the old questions but with new intensity a nd complexity.·· Bernardin stated that, according to the standard ruld of military engagement, any " legitimate" use of force must be limited . According to the studies concerning a nuclear war. however, .. the notion of a,limited nuclear conflict i.s an exceedingly unlikely . and dubious notion."' Reponer StaH nox 20 reverberated with calls for a reevaluation of our nuclear policies last Friday. as Cardinal Joseph Bernard in delivered the ~eynote address at the Nuclear War Prevention Studies Group's annual confc""rcncc. "In the face of all the wonderFul and tragic events which have shaped the period from 1900 to 2000," Cardinal Bernardin said, "the nuclear challenge will be a defining characteristic of this cent ury." And. he added, the time is right for consideration of disarmament, of controls on all kinds of weaponry. The conference was titled "The Ethics of Nuclear Deterrence: Security Confro nts Morality" and continued on Saturday with speakers Pam Solo, the Rev. William Sloane Coffin Jr. . Henry Shue. and Jonathan Schell. Bernardin, who is the Roman Catholic archbishop of Chicago and a member of the College of Cardinals, headed a commince of Catholic bishops in the United States who wrote a letter condemning nuclear warfare as immoral. "When the Catholic bishops of the U.S. were preparing their pastoral letter (on) 'the challenge of peace' in 1983 , and when we~tumed to the topic in our re port on "'I be challenge of peace' in 1988. our primary purpose was to encourage ot her institutions and individuals in the U.S. to engage the nuclear reality in its K Nuclear weapons brought with them whole new categories of moral and philosophical questions, Bernardin continued . ..The new questions were not about nuclear war, but about nuclear peace. Does the strategy of deterrence. the way we keep the nuclear peace, pass the moral test?" According to Bernardin, the jury is still out on that question. ··some have been convinced that nuclear strategy fails both the test of use in warfare, and that of being a morally legitimate deterrent." There arc some people, Bernardin said. who look for ways to legitimize both the active use of nuclear weapons as well as their use as a deterrent. "Still other.; have c eluded that use of these is clearly a moral failure , but deterrence:, in a paradoxical way, should be maintained and justified as the onl y possible means known , thus far. to keep the nuclear peace ." here arc indications in the r~nt past th at the future holds hope, the cardinal told his audience . ... Indeed . at Re ykjavi k (w here supe rp ower arm s negotiations were held during the pre· viou~ admin istration). the two leaders (Reagan and GorbachevJ seemed eager to JUmp over arms control to disarmament. as the y discussed the possible elimination or ballistic missiles and / or all nuclear weapons. "A decade that began w1th superpower hostility ended with the prom1se of normalization or relations. A decade that started with no arms co ntrol produced a modest agreement and the basis of a significant tr ea t y. And the decade be · deviled by SDI is endi ng with the Congress and the executive branch both scaling back. 1ts scope and significance." Bernardin suggested new approaches in the future . "The primacy of the political over the strategic, the possibilities of seeking mental changes in the super· power relationship. these are the themes that should be stressed in the 1990s." Bernardin argued for .. deep cuts in offensive weapons .... and .. restraint of defensive systems." as well as beginning the -first serious initiatives on conven· tiona) arms control in the last 30 years. ..The time is right. the need is ur· gent." $ T many dimensions . ..

Travis, 87, a UB professor emeritus, died Saturday, May 6, in his home in Port Charlotte, Aorida. Travls was a member of the University faculty for 45 years and served as the fir>t chairman of the Department of Drama and Speech from 1947 to 1967. During his tenure here, he was ~nown through out the Western New York community as an accomplished actor and noted lecturer on aspects of contemporary drama". Travis was born in 1902 in Owatonna, Minn., and was a 1924 graduate of the University of Minnesota. He received his master's degree from the University of S Wisconsin in 1927 and joined the UB faculty in 1927 as an instructor in the Department of English. In 194 7 he was named by the late Chancellor Samuel P. Capen to head the newly formed Department of Drama and Speech, a position he held until his retirement . As chairman of that department, Travis initiated a University program for the diagnosis and treatment of speech disorders and helped to establish the U 8 Speech Clinic. which in its present form serves the needs of hundreds of speech and hearing disabled patients every year. Travis had a lifefon& interest in the theatre and in his youth played summer stock and toured the Midwest with the Chautauqua Circuit, a traveling theatre company of the day. During his Buffalo years, he taught drama and coached theatre perFormances at UB, and was active in the former Studio Theater and School as an actor, director, trustee, and board vice president. On a number of occasions. Travis performed as a narrator with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and . was noted in panicular for his memorable narra ~ tion of Tchaikovsky's "Peter and the Wolf." Tra vis was a member of the American National Collegiate Playe rs and the Scabbard and Blade; a trustee of the Western New York Educational Theater Association. and a member of the New Yor~ State Teacher> Conference Executive Board . He is survived by his wife. the former Louise Lownie. and three daughters: Jean Boccuti of Baltimore. Md ., Linda Tite of Tully, N.Y., and Martha Myer.; of Houston, Texas, and five grandchildren.

Chester Langway. Jr., chair of the Department of Geology, has gained international pro minence for his pioneering efforts in deep co re drilling and the study of glacial F ICC Langway, a vete ran of more than 30 research expeditions to Antarctica and Greenland, the only two locations on ea rth where ice sheets exist, is curator of the largest collection of glacial ice cores. Gathered from j ntemationaJ scientific tnps from polar, sub-polar, aod temper· ate glacier regions, the cores are stored and cataloged at 'a National Science Foundation (NSF}-sponsored Ice Core Laboratory located on the UB campus and at a larger icc storage facility in downtown Buffalo. As curator, Langway ove rsees the distribution of these ice "Ice cores contain detailed records of the earth for the last two to five million years. This informati()n is comparable or exceeds the records found in tree rings & ocean sediments. samples to researchers all over the world . "We've got about 30,000 feet of ice in cores. some are 120,000 years old , stored in aluminum foil~ovc:red cylinders at temperatures of minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit," says Langway, who has been a faculty member here since 1974 and a department chairman since 1975. " It 's probably the best equipped cold roo m and dust-free lab complex in existence to study ice cores for their phySical , chemical, and mechanical properties ... Langway and other cold region s researchers regard these cores as the: means of gaining greater knowledge and understanding about the earth's environmental history. He says the frozen wilderness of the Greenland Ice Sheet encompasses an area the size of land east of the Mississippi. Multiply that by 10 and you have Antarctica. Both contain 78 per cent of the world's fresh water supply. " Ice from these areas contain detailed records of the earth for the last two to five million years. This information is comparable or exceeds the short· and long-term records found in tree rings and ocean sediments, especially in terms of high frequency natural events." says Langway. For instance, on average, sea sediments aa:umulilte a centimeter (less tban half an inch) of material in a thousaod years while glaciers gather a foot and a half or more per year. I C 'lre sample studies are being analyzcd using techniques pioneered by'Langway and other scientiJts. Within the ice at UB are clues revealing the earth's climatic and environmental bistoiy going back beyond the most recent ice age which started some 70,000 years ago. By looking at ancient oxygen isoto!M.'S trapped in the ice, iesearcbers are ableio map out aloba! climatic changes . Records of volcanic· eruptions show up in high 'concentration leveis of nitric and sulfuric acids. More importantly, the .amounts of carbon dioxide and other Ice makes h1story crystal clear tor Chester Langway Jr "-"--- - - ' gases provide strong evidence of a recent warming trend on the earth. Langway believes ice sheets are formed essentiaJiy by atmospheric processes. and studying ice cores is the best way of gaining knowledge about mankind 's di stant past and uncertain future . The increasing importance of the caliber of these studies is becoming more apparent. Last March. 48 of the world's top glacial scientists including Langway, gathered at tire Dahlem Conference in West Berlin, Germany. to exchange ideas about their work . The conference, an annual forum , bringA togethe r researchers and policymakers from diverse fields to discuss pressing issues or research of globaJ concern. The 1988 meeting focused on "The Environmental Record in Glaciers," the proceedings of which were compiled in a book co~ited by Langway. Some of those attending were part of the first successful ice core drilling expedi· tion to penetrate an ice sheet. That was back in 1966 at Camp Century in Northwest Greenlaod. The project was coordinated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Langway, then a research geologist/ glaciologist with the U.S. Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover, New Hampshire, supervised a field research team of five people. S oon after joining U B to develop a glacial research program. in 1975 Langway was back in the field as part of the Greenland Ice Sheet Program (GISP). The ten-year NSF-sponsored project, which began in 1971, included resoun:es and expertise provided by teams of four principal research groups .from the' lfniversity at Buffalo; Univer· sity at Copenhagen. Denmark; Technical University of Denmark , and the University of Bern. Switzerland. GISP's major objective was to sys tem atically determine the geophysical and geochemical characteristics of the icc sheet. Langway served as se nior scientist and chief investigator of the U.S . operati on. The GISP ice core sa mples were retrieved from the second deepest hole ever drilled through the Greenland ice sheet. They were sen t back to the U B campus for further analysis and to become pan of a large collection of ice cores. The international effort also included resources and expertise provided by teams of Danish and Swiss scientisls led by Willi Dansgaard from the University of Copenhagen aod Hans Oeschger from the University of Bern. The Daoes de· veloped a tool which allowed the drilling to reach bedrock through more than 1.25 miles of ice. The drilling isn' an easy task. For instance, if a team drills about I ,200 feet , it usually talces one month with two crews of five people working seven days and seven nights in 12-hour shifts in bone-chilling cold. "For the GISP operation between 1979-ll I, we went up every year on this schedule and recovered cores raoging from the surface to 6,683 feet. Researchers have estima!ed that they're approximately 120,000 years old," says Langway, who has been collaborating with Dansgaard aod Oeschger for 25 years on a cost-sharing, scientific basis. Langway's future plaos are aimed at enhancing international cooperation for further ice research. He is working with Japan's National Institute of Polar Research (NIPIR) in advising aod plan· ning their glaciological program in Greenland and Antarctica. One of Langway's former postdoctoral scientists, Hitoshi Shoji, who did pioneering r~eldwork in GISP, is now professor of applied physics at Toyama Uni· versity and NIPIR. studying the mechanical properties of fresh ice. Langway believes that N I PI R will even· tually become involved with his European colleagues. Today there are approx· imately I 5 countries drilling for icc cores in both Greenland and Antarctica. A nether of Langway's projects is to return to Camp Century. G~n· land. in May, 23 year.; after his first visit with the Army Corps of Engineers. He wants to-drill down about 656 feet from the 1989 surface, tying it in with the original drill site core obtained in 1966. The same kind . of trip is also plaoned for Byrd Station on the mainlaod of West Antarctica. It was back in 1968 that researchers drilled down to bedrock in the Antarctic for the first time. Since the last substaotial deep drilling took place in 1981, few ice cores have been obtained from Antarctica aod Greenland . Langway hopes these trips will rectify that situation and provide a reference point to update previous studies done at these locations. A benefit of this seven•year lapse for researchers like Langway has been the enhancement of state-of-the-art analysis techniques allowing for a fuller treat· ment of their ice studies. Looking into the future, the glaciologist predicts that ice research will be expaoding. _:The importance of icc core studies is starting to blossom all over the world," he says. "Climatologists, geologists, chemists, and environ~ntalists are hungry for more knowledge ,!Vbich they can derive from visits to the Poles. I guess that's what bas kept me excited about my work over U..years."

According to Sean Sull ivan , assist ant to the provost at UB. the esse nce of the planned s ummer relocati on is th e "transfer of the Wilkeson Pub function to the Fargo Quad, a move from the back of the Ellicott Complex to th e front. " He added : "The main lounge area and cafeteria of Fargo will be renovated to include two main program spaces. An area for dining and dancing will feat ure both sit-<lown and fast food facilities . Another space will replicate the pub, offering entertainment, TV , and, once again, dining and dancing." As a result of this relocation, the recreation center and the University Outfitters headquarters will be moved from Fargo to the current Ellicott bookstore. In addition to the bookstore space, an adjoining classroom will be knocked dowo so that the new recreation center will clbuble io size to a total of 5,200 squan.fcet. -Tbe·P.Ianoed-rec:nMion cen- ter will includ e pool a nd ping-pong tables, game rooms . .and bank machines. T he bookstore, then , will share space wit h th e C reati ve Craft Ce nter.

Gary MacPhee of Design and Const ructio n and Jim Rozanski of Space Management will oversee the technical and physical aspects of the project. This group has also agreed to look at ways of developing student space in Ellicott. A first step is to ~renovat.e one of the plaza~ level lounges in the complex to better suit the needs and interests of the students who live there," said Sullivan. ~In addition, we have agreed to provide additional laundry facilities for the residents of the Spaulding Quadrangle." · Next year, a student·administrative group will meet regularly to plan for further- Ellioou development, . • News Bureau wins CASE, SUNY awards ........................

By this he can ~ taken to mean experiments which arc cruel. or undisciplined, or ungoverned. or lawless. A lawless experiment would M one whtch contravenes local. state or federaJ laws or regulations, An ungoverned experiment would ~ one which goes on without oversight by a higher authority. An undisciplined experiment would be one which..fioes not proceed using a clear methodology, or with a clear hypothesis being tested ; or it could mean an experiment that does not take place within the context of a discipline of knowledge, literature and methodology. And a cruel experiment is one which causes gre•t suffering or pain not controlled wing anesthetics or analgesics. The work of the 2Q..mc:mber Laboratory Animal Care Committee. as mandated by Congress, is to insure that the care and we of animals on campw for research and teaching purposes conJonru to local, state and federal laws covering everything from floor and wall coverings, to cage size, to the u.sc of anesthetics and analgesics. Proposed research is categorized for the committee's review into categories corresponding 10 the degree of discomfort and loss of function, if any, which the animal will experience. Proposed research i.s scrutinized by the committee; if it involves a sianificant potenti&l for pain, that pain must be controlled with appropriate medication or justirted by the intended practical results, where such justification involves a demonstration botb tbat the results are of compellin& importance and that they cannot be reached by alternative means. The most severe category of possible experiments is not permitted. The vast number of experiments involve no pain or no more than the brief discomfort of an injection or withdrawal of blood. JustifiCation of research involves placina it within abe wider context of research and knowlcdae within research does not repeat studies aJready conducted or. if it does, th at such repeated experiments arc necessary either 10 calibrate instrumentation and techniques for proceed ing to new investigations . or to demonstra te that effects reported elsewhere are gcnutncly replicable and not the results of fraud . Further. besides reviewing and p assi ng on proposed uses or animals. the committee is charged with insuring compliance with federal, state and locaJ laws. In pursuit of this duty . committee memben inspect every laboratory twice each year and cause depanures from regulations to be corrected; laboratories are also inspected annually by state heaJth department and federal USDA inspectors, as well as by site visitation teams !or major granting agencies and accreditation committees. The committee and the USDA aJso investigate charges of improper uses of animals that are brought to its attention . Any of these inspecting bodies may cause experiments to be stopped or aJtered , or labs to be closed or modified . Hence, expenments t.atmg place in U B's labor•tories are not lawless. are not ungoverned , and are nOt undisciplined . Experiments are not to be done in a cruel manner. There is to be no .. wanton" experimentation in UB's laboratories: this is the policy of the University , the State, and the federal government. If Scott Sackett or any other student , staff member, or faculty member or employee or the University believes he or she knows of uses of animals on campw which are in violation of federal, State or Univenity laws or regulations, he or s he should contact one of the foUo~ng : The Unafliliated Member.

Talbert, educator, feminist, civil rights activist, and the person for whom Talbert Hall is named. wrote that one of the most significant AfricanAmerican achievements since the abolition of slavery had been education. Talbert herself exemplified this achievement. In 1886, as the only black in her class, she received a bachelor's degree from Oberlin College. She also later took courses at what was then the University of Buffalo and is believed by some of her biographers to have obtained a doctoral degree. (This cannot be co nf finned since the Univenity did not award dOctoral degrees in arts and letters on a regular basis until 1935.) Her grand-grandnephews seem to have inherit~er commitment to education: Edward Hill will receive a master's degree in audiology and speech pathology, while his brother Daryl will obtain a bachelor's in industrial engineering. Both said they intend to pursue further study at the graduate level. E dward Hill said be first learned of his famous relative, who was vice president of the NAACP, president of the NACW (National Association of Colored Women) and campaigned for causes such as women's suffrage and antilynching legislation, from an uncle .at a family funeral a couple of years ago. "I knew that a building had been named after her, but I bad no knowledge of )ler other achievements, .. he admitted. Ever since be found out more about his aunt's achievements, however, Edward Hill said be bas had "a strong sense of pride• in the relationship. Hill transferred to UB as an undergraduate from Hampton lns\itute in Virginia, primarily for fiJiancial reaions. He decided to remain at UB for graduate work. in audiology since UB bas "a strong program • in tbat area and '"is known for its research in bearing science. • While studyiDg in the graduate program at UB, Hill bela an intemlhip at the Buffalo Veterans Hospital. This involved, among other things, testing veterans' bearing and fitting hearing aids. Currently, Edward HiU is looking .. into a position as a commissioned officer in the United States Army as an audiologist." Eventually, he hopes that tbe program in the service- will allow him to go back to school for a Ph. D. in clinical audiology. Hill said he would like to make the army his career, oven though be would only have to remain for three years to be eligible for Army fUI80cial aid for further graduate study. "I'm interested: be stated, "specifically in the area of bearing conservation, which the Army bas a strong emphasis on.'"

WBFO's Associate General Manager Bruce Al len Ko lesnick explained the rationale for a move toward shorter fundra.isers: ''The three or four days in the middle of the fundraiser are always very slow," said Kolesnick. "It depresses the staff to ask for money when the listeners do not respond, Pledges Drive Fundraiser More than $15,000 in "hush money." helps "'BFO reach FUNdrive and I anJ sure the listeners get r.ir·ed of hearing There are three lines open at 831-2555.' " ''The amount of money pledged expands to fill the vo lume of time you give people to pledge it in ," said General Manager Bill Davis. "I think we will raise as much or more in five days as we have in ten. Sure it is a risk. But I think it is worth it And I tl1ink our listeners wi ll agree." goal. WBFO's Spting FU drive was the most successful in the sLation's hiswry. Although we do not have the fina l tall y (it is on ly the Monday after the fundraiser as we go to press), this is the first time we have reached the $60,000 before the end of the FUNdrive. Panicularly encouraging was the tremendous response to the "silent" fundraiser. WBFO raised more than a quarter of its overall goal from "silent" p ledges with more than $15,000 contributed by listeners who wanted a kinder, gentler fundraiser. Unfortunately, it still took us the entire ten days to reach $60,000. Fortunately, since we did reach our goal, the University at Buffalo has committed an additional $20,000 to WBFO to offset the scheduled increases from National Public Radio . N K s Weekend programs received particularly strong support. The station 's 'Jazz Extensions" programs on Saturday d id very well particularly "Salsa!" and Darin Guest's "Blues." ''I'm very p leased with the support listeners gave 10 our Jazz Extensions' programs," said WBFO Program Director David Benders. "It proves that we can sen•e this community witl1 programs which supplemem the jazz programming we do Monday through Friday." So, once again, all of us at WBFO would like to thank all of you for supponing WBFO during its 30th Anniversary FUNdrive. We hope you enjoy the prospect of shorter fundraisers as much as we do. 0 �h ost T ed Howes. SUN. • Hour I. ., Midnight-1:00 am. THE IUUIWUI. IIMR Hosted by Charlie Keil and Mike Ehrenreich.

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

At the "higb select" universities, the ratio of males to females was about even. • A higher proportion of the students were minorities at the " higb 0 scicli" institutioj)S than at UB.

R Dahl wi ll not anend but his degree will be accepted by his daughter Ophelia. A native of Wales whose parents we re Norwegian, Dahl spent five yea rs with Shell Oil Compan y of East Africa after graduating from an English boarding school. He then joined the Royal Air Force to become a fighter pilot. In 1940, Dahl was seriously injured in a mission over Egypt but returned to the cockpit and continued to serve in the British military. Dahl subsequently received an assignment in Washington as an assistant air attache. There, quite by chance, his career as a writer began.·C.S. Forester, author of Captain Horatio Hornblow.,, contacted Dahl for an interview about his experiences as a nying ace. Dahl offe red to give Forester a n acco unt of o ne or his m o~ t terrifyi ng ex periences in note form. bu t end ed up writing the ent ire story himself. The manu sc ript , which Da hl called" A Piece of Cake, .. was eventuall y submitted to The Saturday Evening Post. and won h im immediat e acciaim . This was fo ll owed by a se ries or short sto ries about th e war th a t appeared in publicatio ns like Harper's and The New Yorker. D ahl began to write longe r, book· length manuscripts, and his children 's book, The Gremlins, beeame especially popular. Eleanor Roosevelt and her grandchildren liked the book so much that it led to a series of meetings between Dahl and Franklin Roosevelt at Hyde Park. "I would sit with him while he mixed the martinis before Sunday lunch, and he would say things like, 'I've just had an interesting cable from Mr. Churchill,' " Dahl once commented. "Then he would tell me what it said , som~thing perhaps about new plans for the bombing of Germany o r th e sinking of U-boats, and I wo uld do my best to a ppear ca lm and chan y. th ough actu ally I was trembling at the re alization that the most powerfu l man in the wo rld was telling me these might y sec rets." In 1960. Dahl's infant so n, Theo. was struck by a car a nd sust ained a head injury th at led to a severe case or hydrocephal y. Frustrated by the limited success or a conve ntional shunt to relieve his son's symptoms, Dahl contacted inventor Stanley Wade and together they developed the Dahl-Wade Valve, a less expensive, more s uccessful shunt that ultimately saved the li ves of man y hundreds of people worldwide. ahl is the author of Jam ~s and th~ Giant Peach, Cltarlit and tht Chocolatt Factory, and many other popular D children's books. He bas also written novels, a Brpadway play, and screen. plays for such ftlms as "You Only Live Twice" and "Chilly Chilly Bang Bang. " He also worked with Alfred Hitchcock on the televised version of one of his sto- ries. "Lamb to th e Slaughter." which was broadcast on "Alfred Hitchcock Pres· ents" in 1958. Among hi s collected works are Selee1ed Swries of Roald Dahl (Modern Library, 1968), The Best of Roald Dahl (Vi ntage, 1978), a nd More Tales of the Unexpected (Penguin , 1980). He has twice won the Mystery Writers of Ame rica Edgar Allan Poe Award, and has contributed articles and short stories to leading magazines. Also to his cred ~t a re re<:ordings and television specials. President Sample noted that the honorary degree is being awarded to Dahl in recognition of his contributions to literature and science. Dahl's career. he said, "has been richly varied and characterized by excellence." Further, his contributions .. have enhanced our lives, and his li!'thas been an inspiration to all those who hope to prevail over the difficulties they may face i~ their lives." .

We a~ primarily interested in improving the quality of life - hum an and a nimal,"' said Boris Albini, professo r of microbiology at UB a nd a member of the Lab Animal Care Committee (LACC), at an April25 press co nference. The press confercn~ was .conducted the afternoon before Animal Rights Advocates (ARA) of Western New York held a candlelight vigil a t Farber Hall to demonst(ate their concern for the humane treatment of laboratory animals. In addition to Albini, speakers at the conference included Richard Hull, an associate professor of philosophy and assistant professor of medicine who is chair of the LACC; Jorge Velasco, associa te director of ani mal facilities· and John M . Hicks, a veterinarian and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) official who happened to be in the Buffalo area on a routine inspection tour. Also speaking at the co nference was Dan Bukaty, who said his prematurely born daughter 's life was saved by a substance originally tested on animals at UB. ccording to Albini, the LACC does not believe th at the c ho ice whe ther or not to use a nimals in research involves a connict "between rational, scie ntific th inking, and emotional thinking. .. We are, .. he em phasized , .. primarily driven by emotion, as much as the animal rights activis ts, because we wan t to improve life for all animal species on th is earth, including our own ... In Vie w of th is shared ··emotionaJ " motivation, th e LACC would like to once again work in a spirit of cooperation with the Western New York Animal Rig hts Ad voca tes, said Albini. In past years, acco rding to Hull, "the Animal Right s Advocates had a ve ry coope rative relati onship with the commince. It has served basicaJiy as a clearing ho use for ex pressions of co ncern made by staff and students about th e uses of anima ls they perceive on th is campus." The ARA would rece ive a complaint and, keeping the so urce of com plaint anonymous. pass it on to the LACC. " We would then," Hull explained, .. investigate and re port back to the ARA which would then report back to the pe rson who had made the co mplaint. This worked very well." However, Hull continued , ·•for reasons we do not unde~tand, it appears th at that n ow of informati o n has been stopped ." A T he LACC is one of seve ral federal and State age ncies. including the USDA and the New York State Dcpartmcn l of Hea hh . which serve to ensure that U B co mplies with federal and State mandates co ncerning resea rch a nimal usc and ca re.

According to Hull. the committee's investigations of reported incidences of a nimal mistreatment at the University have in each case shown these reports to be based on a misperception. For example, said Hull. there was a report a while bacl:: sayi ng that there were primates in a lab whose " pink brain tissue was exposed." After noting that brain tissue is in fact gray, Hull said " th e alleged pink brain tissue was denta l cement that covered openings in the skulls of the primates holding electrodes that were permanently implanted ." Similarly, Hull added, a report that unanesthetized turtles and frogs were being decapitated with surgical scissors was also based on misperception. The animals, be explained, were in each case first immersed in cold water, an anesthetic procedure "as effective as gas," since they arc cold-blooded. According to AJbini, there are a number of alternatives to live animals which U B researchers try to usc, for both ethical and financial reasons, whenever possible. the R req uests, threatening the LACC if th ese were not granted . The Some of these include the use of mechan· ical and plastic models. compUter si mulation and modeling, and tissue a nd organ cultures .. Unfortunately. he con tinued . th ere are .. severe limitations to using these alternatives."' For instance, said Albini. "to program compute rs. yo u have to know a system very well. That means th at computer si mul ati o n is o nly avai lable where we already have a very good knowledge of a physiological sys tem. .. In the foreseeable future, .. he concluded . ·•it is not realistic to thin k th a t by using alternative methods alone we can obtain the same necessary scie ntifi c knowledge to improve the qualit y of life (at the ra te it has been improved) in pas t decades." an and Pat Bukaty a nd the ir threeyear-old daughter Caitlyn were asked to attend the press confere nce to provide a livi ng example of how such resea r~h has "improved the quality of life." Ca itlyn. two m o nths premature , weighed two pounds and one ounce at her birth at Children's Hospital. She was D "Caitlyn Bukaty was treated with a substance obtained from the lungs of slaughtered calves." treated, said Do n Bukaty, wi th a substance obtained from the lungs of slaughtered calves. This su bstance, which is called surfactant, was fi rst tested o n animals at UB. According to Bukaty, " it helps the lungs of premature babies to breathe. show resistance to infect io n. an d do all the things the lungs of a 28-week-old baby are not developed eno'!&h to d o. ••Animal research is very imponant to me," Bukaty claimed. " I don' know if we'd have our little girl today if it wasn' for what Children's Hospital was doing with animal research .... Hull no'ted that surfactant is also being used to treat premature foals. "Here is an 1v.o ~ uc first of these was to have an Anima l Righ ts Advocate se rve on the committee . Failing that. the A RA wants the LACC to hold open meetings. According to Hull, neither of th ese req uests can be granted due to the nature of the LACC. " We are und er fede ral mandate to maintai n confidentialit y about th e research protocols th at we re view. These pros pective protocols a re of vital interest to the perso ns who are proposi ng them and they have a propri· cta ry interest that needs to be protected ... Thus, il a member of the Ani ma l Rights Advocates were to be a llowed to have a seat on the comm ittee, he o r she wo uld not be allowed to report back to the gro up. (It should be poin ted out that the LACC is required by law to have o ne unaffiliated member. Patricia A. Ulrich, a regis te red nu rse and bio logy teac her at Amherst Hi gh School. currently fills th at role.) Open meetings. said Hull. pose a similar problem. Furthermore. in addition to the question of confide ntialit y " is the quest ion of precedent. If we were to provide a space o n our com mittee fo r the Anima l Rights Advocates. we wo uld be creating a precedent to create a space on o ur committee for any organization, pro v r con, tha t wan ted to sic on the committee. .. And as yo u sec, th e committee could beco me quite large and unwieldy - a battleground for the NRA. hunters. animal rights activists, a nd others. This would really be inconsistent wi th the ro le of the com mittee, which is to serve as a regulatory age ncy for anima l research o n campus," Hull stated. While Hull sees no place fo r the Animal Rights Advocates of Western New York on the LACC, he would like .. to invite" them to o nce agcyn take up their former mediating role, which in the past provided a "very useful service."

"We ha ve a lot of bodies with students si ttin g on th em who could have bee n contacted but were n't." This appare nt communication break dow n makes it clear that students have to be inVolved with administ rators and faculty as much as possi ble. Said Rogers: "It's really impo rt ant that students remain involved with th e Undergraduate College or else the facult y will start making all the decisions." S till, st udent leaders must depend on a sincere and lively concern among their constituents. Apathy can be a problem. Rogers was in charge of finding seven students fro m SA 's academic council to participate in th e UGC. He said it was difficult to find t he seven and that he worries about st ud ents not being involved.

But there are also many. man y decisi ons - perhaps most of o ur decisions - that benefit from student input. .. nan individual basis. several D f th e stud en ts said that it is important for administrato rs to be open to students' , suggestions. " I th ink it is unfortunate th at all students don't ha ve so me so n of access to admi ni&tra t ors.

He is always receptive to co mplaints th at st udents have. People feel co mfortable goi ng to talk to him." Kunz, dean of und ergraduate academic services, explained that. that is all part of a day"s work. " If students have complaints, panicularly on the academic side, I try to always be available to listen. to try to determine if it is legitimate. and then to solve it as quickly as possible."" He did suggest that st udents talk to the people involved before bringing problems to his atten ti on. ··whenever possi ble. try to start at the bottom." 0 Thorpe is another ad ministrator who has gone out of his way to seek st ude nt in put.

"'The Unde rgraduate College, is for undergraduates. I've never been put down for an idea. I think th ey have a genu ine concern for undergraduates. They wa nt students to get the best education possible." he Unde rgrad uate College is not the only University bod y that listens to students . The University Co un cil, charged with advising the president, also has a st uden t member. elected by the st udent body. Ken Gage, who is beginning his second year in that posi ti on, says he acts as a go-between fo r stud ents in their dealings with the administration .

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

" Bill would provide $14.9 million for SAC Br SUE WUETCHER News Bureau Staff •._ _ _,_2 tate Assemblyman William B. Hoyt (D-Buffalo), and State Sen. Joh n B. Sheffer, II (RAmhe rst), announced Mond ay they have introdueed a bill in the State Legislature that would provide $ 14.9 million in available bond funds to build a 50,000-square-foot addition to the Student Activities Center. Hoyt and Sheffer were joined by University officials and student leaders in making the announcement. The addition would triple tbe size of tbe existing 25,000-net-square-foot Student Activities Center (SAC). The 75,000-net-square-foot building would feature a theatre, additional food facilities, and stud~nt offiCeS. Offices for student organizations currently are located at various sites on both e&q~puses . ~students and administrators didn't have to do much to convince me that this was an excellent idea aod a wise budget choice," Hoyt said. "This is a real plus S for UB's 28.000 st udents. The ex pansion of the activities center into a true student union will enh ance the efforts of student organizations by encouraging more partici pation and increasi ng the fiVailable activities for the students.•• .. A student union is a vital part of the effort to make UB a complete campus." Sheffer added . ~we intend to address this matter as a separate bill and push for its passage at the earliest possible date · this session.... Construction of the addition would take from two and one-half to three years. Delaying the project by a year would increase total · cost by almost $800,000. The money for the project is available from bonds that were sold by the New York State Housing Fmance Agency. ' be project is important to the quality of student life on campus, noted T Robert L. Palmer, vice provost for stu- dent affain. " Experience and activities beyond the classroom are extremely important in overall student development." Palmer said. "Certainly to have a student union co ntributes very much to the quality of student life beyond the classroom." Derek LaMan:be, undergraduate Student Assoeilllion president. predicted the SAC addition will have a dramatic effect on the quality of student life. ~It 's symbolic; the whole idea of a student union and a place of our own will unify students on campus," he said. ~The Student Association and I are l!)lpreciative of the efforts of Bill Hoyt and John Sheffer to get the project through the Legislature.. ~This will go a long way toward improving student life•" said Kenneth Gage, student representati'!.C on the University Council. ~It will be a focal point and bring student O'llanizations uoder one roof." 4D �April 27, 11189 Volume 20, No. 27 ARTS. & SCIENCES p.m. in Slee with selected UB Arts and Sciences faculty.

CD Finally a student union for the North Campus? By JEFFREY TREBB Reporter Staff 0 n Mond ay, two New York State legislators announced a jo int proposal t o secure funding for the first comprehensive student union on the North Campus. (See accompanyi ng story.l, State Asse mblym an William B. Hoyt (D-Buffalo) a nd State Senato r J ohn B. ShetTer, lf ( R ~Amherst) rold the University community th at thei r bill would provide $14.9 million in available bond resources for tbe constructi on o f a 50,000-square-foot addition to the Student Act ivities Center. Hoyt said he is "hopeful;' the bill will be passed, though he cautioned t hat the State legislative process admits .. no gua ra ntees." Still, he added that the bill carjes .. no fi scal impl icatio ns." even in light of c urrent budget· diffic ult ies. since it ai ms to use onl y money left over fro m previous bo nd ing. "The State Housing Fi nance Age ncy sold bonds fo r the Cary-Farber-Sherman (reha bilitation project) in anticipation of a larger structu re," Hoyt said ... The eventual renovatio n was less costly th an ex pected , he nce th e S l4 .9 mill io n excess... He believes the abse nce of k.nown rivals fo r this money strengthens the prospect of the bill becoming law . befo re the current legislative sessio n ends in Jul y. bere has ne~er been a stud ent union on the Nort h Campus. No r has there been one on the ca mpus as a whole since 1982, the year in which administration plans to co nvert Squire Hall (formerly Nort on Uni on) into a dental school facility were effected against wides pread student oppositio n. Students at the time protested the closing of Squire Hall without reci procal plans for a student union o n the North Campus. They advanced instead a plan to make Capen, Norton, and Talbert Hojls ~he locus of student activi ty, a un1on 10 effect. This arrangement was rejected. Then, claiming that the adm inistration was hostile toward their attempts to remedy the absence, hundreds of students staged demonstrations and sit-ins in December 1981 , a nd February 1982, to prevent the closing of Squire. They were not successful. Squire Union was finally closed on February 26, 1982, cotnctdent with the last day of President Ketter's tenure and the eve of President Sample's. T During his first week in office, Sample lifted suspensions given to stude nts ~,~oho had refused to leave Squire Hall at "' closing a nd professed himself to ha\t a ··very open mind a bout student um on~ ..

Weddington, who argued in 1973 that a woman has the right to have an abortion based on the right to privacy, discussed Roe vs. Wade and the potential impac t on pri vacy of the upcoming Webster vs. Reproductive Services case befo re a Butler Auditorium audience last Friday. Her lecture was sponsored by the Speakers Bureau of the undergraduate Student Association . edd ing ton exp lained that she based her 1973 argument for abortion On the right to privacy, rather than on grou nds such as gender-based discrimination, because of the precedent set by earlier privacy cases. For the latter, there was no precedent. There had been, however, despite tbe fact that there is no mention of the word pri vacy in Lhe Constitution, .. a long line of cases talking about what tbe government had a rigbt to decide and what the individual had a right to 'decide." To illustrate her point, Weddington cited Supreme Court rulings that had. knocked down laws declaring that people couldn' se nd their children to private schools or marry someone of another W needed a genuine case. This was soon provided by Norma McCorvey, a pregnant high school drop-out who had bee n referred to the two women by another attorney. A t the time of the case, McCorvey claimed, mistakenly believing it would make obtaining an abonion easie r, that she had been raped. In 1987, however, she confessed th at she had actually become pregnant during a.o affai-r. The press, said Wedd ington, made much of McCorvey's adm ission. Yet in fact, she emphasized, how McCorvey became pregnan t had no bearing on the case. "We asked her if th ere were witnesses, a police report, anything like th at - she said ' no.' And so we made a decision to leave out of the case anything about how she had become pregnant. Frankly we were just not sure and we knew we couldn't prove it. .. Also without relevance was the fact that McCorvey was no longer pregnant when Roe vs . Wade reached the Supreme Court, although tbe state tried high school, who'd go llen pregnant, yo u were forced to drop out." The seco nd issue was. Weddington indicated , "is there a right of privacy?Wedd ington responded by discussing the long line of privacy cases she had discovered in her research and .. i\11 the things the gove rnment should not be doing." The final issue was "does the state have a compell ing reaso n to regulate?" The basic question here, Weddington explained, was ... what was the state's justification for passing the statute a nd co uld this be proven?" .. At the time," she went o n, "the state was arguing that the abortion statutes were passed to protect fetal life." Weddington and Coffee coun tered by poin ting out that the early state anti·abonion laws had actually been passed to protect the life of the mother, si nce before antise psis the operation was very da ngerous due to the risk of infection. "There was no indication," Wedd ington emphasized, ""that it was a moral or religious matter, it was more of a medical added, " tbe Court would be reiuctant to say there is no right of privacy in this issue because of the impact this could have on other cases ... A more worrisome possibility, said Wedpi ngton, is that Roe vs. Wade will be modified. In th is case, said Weddington, the justices could rule .. that there is a right of privacy (conce rn ing abortion). but that th e states have a right . to regulate more broadl y."' The Webster case involv~ a Missouri law that has four provisions. The one with t he greatest potential legal repercussio ns. which is stated in the preamble. says that life begi ns at conception. " If yo u believe that life and legal rights begin at conception, what would the ramifications of that belief be?" Weddington asked. Fo r instance, would the pill and I UD, which ca n prevent implantation of a fertilized ovum, become illegal? "Or what do you do about the 40 to 60 per cent of fertilized ova that are spontaneous ly aborted? " she continued . "Would those kinds of cases call for fun- race. " Where you educate your ehild •., or .. who you marry," according to these rulings, she said, .. is up to you ... The most direct precedent for her argument, Weddington went on, was a 1955 case in Connecticut. At that time, she said, Connecticut had a statute stating that it was a criminal offense for anyone in the state to use co ntraceptives. The Supreme Co urt ruled that the law violated the right of privacy. According to Weddington, this was !he firs t time "they had used the language 'a rig ht of privacy that extends to reproducti ve ma tters.· eddington a lso her Supreme W Co urt argument on medical opi nion stating th at the public health probbased lems resulting from illegal abortions were ove rwhelming . .. , had discove red in my research, .. she said ... that the American Medical Association and the American Public Health Association had adopted positions saying thar we needed to change the laws." In fact, Wedd ington added, if the a bortion law is changed, "one of the things we're going to be hearing is testimony from doctors and nurses who did emergency roo m treatment back before 1973." Wedd ington first became involved in the case tbat evolved into Roe vs. Wade after being told by a problem-pregnancy counseling group in Texas that many women were coming back from a particular clinic in Mexico with perforations, infections, and other complications. The group asked Weddington if it was legally permissible to refer the women to safer clinics. In tbe course of ber research on the subject, during wbich sbe discovered the long line.._of successfully argued privacy cases, Weddington decided to take the state of Texas to court on tbe abortion issue. Weddington, who was in her mid20s at the time, asked a former University of Texas Law School classmate, Linda Coffee, to aid her. To take tbe state of Texas to court, however; Weddington and Coffee to argue tha t the case was moot since " Roe" had had her baby. Said Weddington, "it was 21 to 27 months before we got to the Supreme Court (after the suit was filed). " Thus, she said , to the amusement of her audience, ... we argued that it would be unreasonable to expect any woman to stay pregnant for that long." She added that the Court ruled tha t the case was still relevant because "there were always pregnant, unmarried women in the state of Texas who did not want to be (pregnant). " T here were three key legal issues in Roe vs. Wade, Weddington continued. "The first was," she said, "is pregnancy fundamental? Essentially this means whether or not this is something so important that the Court should look at it." Weddington said that they were able to show that undue social, financial, and emotional burdens were placed on both single and married women wbo were made to carry unwanted children. For instance, ""if you were a young woman, in Sarah Weddington: She represenled Roe in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade landmark abortion case. T he S upreme Coun ruled seve n to two for a woman's right to have an abortion on the basis of the right to privacy in Roe vs. Wade. In the years since that decision, new justices have been appointed and the Supreme Court vote on abortion has changed. Said Weddington: .. First it was seven to two, then it became six to three, then five to fo ur , and now that Powell is not on the coun, we know that we have four ... we don't know if we have five. Furthermore, Weddington noted, three of the four justices who voted for Roe vs. Wade - Brennan, Black.mu.o, and Marshall, are over 80. She added, jokingly, th at she was "for mandatory life support systems" for these men. Yet despite tbe chllDB" in tbe ideological composition of tbe Court, Weddington does not expect Roe vs. Wade to be overturned in tbe Webster vs. Reproductive Health Services case, for whi,cb bearings began yesterday. "1l>e,Court seldom does a 180 degree tum," she explained . Furthermore, she erals, death ce rt ificates, and all the formalities?"' Or what a bout a case where the wellbeing of the fetus is in conflict with the well-being of the mother? Weddington cited a recent case where a Caesarean was performed on a woman with leukemia to save the life of her baby, against both the wishes of the woman and the testimony of her doctor that such an operation would shorten her life. The woman died the day of the operation; the fetus, two days later. T he struggle to preserve a woman's right to choose an abortion bas been long, arduous, and frequently discouraging, said Weddington at the conclusion of her1ccture . .. The issue is, however, worth our time and energy. There is no buman dignity in a back alley. "Human dignity comes with , choice, and the ability for people to mue tbeir own decisions about the things that are most important to them." 4D �Aprtl 27, 1989 Volume 20, No. ;f VieWQ----=:::::::...Oin~[S:______ __ ' and. th e Eth ICS informat!'o"n ' re voIutJOn By PHILIP G. AL TBACH T here has been mu ch discussion of the teaching of ethics in Ame rican hig her educa tion. There has also been co nsiderable debate conce rn ing the informati on revol uti o n and its challenges. There is. unfortunat ely. a rather co mplex and controversial relati o ns hip between these two elements that affects teachers and sc ho lars. This essay is intended as an exercise in con3cio us'ncss- raising. since most in th e academ ic co mmunit y see m to be un aware o f the issues. rather than a ddi nlli\'C di sc uss1on of the mult ifaceted legalitieS.

Rece nt negotiatio ns among producers and use rs have made some progress, but there is still 3 good deal of disagree ment concerning specific interpretations of copyright and about the bas ic conflict between access and protection. The Co pyrig ht Act has become someth ing like the Vol stead Act. which mandated .Prohibition in the 1920s. It is a law, but is widely viola ted and , in genera l. the sancti ons - bo th lega l and moral - a8ainst its vio lat ion are mild or nonexiste;;t: strict enforcement is i:-:-:possible wit hout th e imposition of "thought police." An ethical dilemma arises. How does the academic community in terpret copyright ? Are knowledge users willing to respect copyright? Do students and have seen unit sales dcd1nc a.!) knowledge has become more !!!pl'ciaii/C'd a nd the market place ever more crowded with books and JbUrnaJS. It IS fair to say th at there has been considerable acrimony be tween the publishers, the librarians. and the authors on many facc ts,of co pyright and distrib ut ion. I t may be u cful to illustrate some of these genera l pro blems with ~o rne co nc rete examples. Professor3. with the active colla boratio n of copysho p3 and sometimes with the acq uiescence of colleges a nd universi ti es. have gouen into the ha bit of prod ucing their own tail or-made books of readings for courses. Typically, th e professor selects readi ngs from jou rnals or books. puts "Strict enforcement of copyright law is a)most impOSSible. It is very difficult to monitor copy machines or to control library networking, without imposition of thought police." A co mbmat ion of fac to rs has placed unprecedented strai n on the knowledge disscmmation netwo rk. Prices for boo ks and journals have sky roc keted . fo rcmg both libraries and individual use rs to limi t purchases. At the sa me time. technology has introduced new , conve ment . and inexpensive means of reproducing and dist ribut ing knowledge. Photocopyi ng becomes ever mo re inexpe nsive, and with fax machines, it is possible to transmit phc tuco pies worldwide fairly chea pl y. Highspecd printing makes reprod uctio n easy. Library networking links computers to document reproduction techniques and permits furt her economies. While tech no logy inc reasi ngly permits users to get access to prin ted materials easily, the publishers are faced wi th the challe nge of publishing an increasing volume of material for a shrinking market in a highly competitive marketplace. At the hean of the dilemma is the co ncept of co pyright. Reduced to its essen tials. copyright reserves to the producer of knowledge basic rights over the dissemination of that knowledge - both in terms of intelJectual cont rol and commercial benefit. Few, in this enlightened age, argue against copy right. Even the pirates of Taiwan and Singapore have become believers. But many violate both the spirit and the letter of the copyright laws. A5 a legal matter in the United States, the eurr.,nt copyright law, revised in 1976 in order take into account """'nt technological changes, is binding. The problem arises in interpreting the law and in enforcing it. There is also a good deal of ambivalence among users concerning the precise meaning of copyright and also the appropriate trade-offs between access to, and use of, information and the protection of tbe copyright holder's legal rights. The fact is that strict enfon:ement of copyright laws is difficult if not impossible. It is very difficult to monitor photocopy macbines or to 1976 law defines ••'fair use" but un fort unately leaves considerab k 'l"Up!: for co nfusio n.

Are librarians committed to the basic protection of copyright , or do their commitments to their immediate constituency (patrons and unjversity administrators) and thei r worries about tight budgets make them willing manipulators of the law? Copyright owne rs seem to be pan of the problem, too. It is im portant to ka:p in mind that the actual producers of much of scholarly knowledge benefit very little directly from their wri tings. Journal articles earn no money for authors - royalties on scholarly books arc modest. The owners arc typieally the publishers and not the authors, and financial benefits accrue mainly to the publishers, although it is clear that scholarly publishing is not a l!igh-profit industry. The publisliers have typically taken a "bard line" on copyright issues, insisting on maintaining control and obtaining financial beoefit from all uses of their publications. The publishers them toget her and takes them to the copys ho p, indicating the likely course enroll ment. Copyshops so metimes ask profess?rs fo r .. release forms.

With the increasing co!lt l1f journ al subscriptions and the proliferating number of journals. libraries are under tremendous prc~surc to keep costs in line while at the same time providing access to basic scholars hip. One way to d o this is for libraries to s peciaJiz.e their journal subscriptions and to rely on network~ to obtain articles requested by userS '" journals to which the library does not subscribe. Cum:nt technology permits virtually instanteous access to articles at fairly low cost.

The budget does not solve, however, the fact that a significant budget reduction was inflicted on the SUNY system during the current fiscaJ year, after an already reduced budget was put in place." Citing recent press reports, Greiner told the council that Gov. Cuomo may veto or amend the $200 tuition increase plan added by the Legislature. Cuomo has long said that SUNY, the nation's largest public university system, should be tuition-free. '"If the tuition increase is not approved, then the SUNY system will• have a very major problem of about $26 million. I don' believe you can handle that size of a reduction without either seriously reducing the quality of programs, or closing down a unjt. .. Another reason for only "guarded optimism .. about the legislative action, said Greiner, is that "while the Legislature may have appropriated and authorized the State of New York to expend $47 billion or thereabouts for the Stale in this fiscal year. and to allow the SUNY system to expend somewhere in excess of S2 billion. it is not clear to an alysts whether or not the State really has $47 billion in revenue ~ll"SSru!,o rl th e expenditure... · n other business. Greiner crititized th.e actions of those students who on Apnl 18 blocked the doorway of a room in O'Brian Hall, where FBI officials had been invited to give an information session on caree r opportu nities with the bureau. After retracing what led to the co n ~ frontra tion, Greiner said "we can't have students or others close access to our facilities ... The actions of the students, believed to be undergraduates. he said . were ..egregiously wrong" and "' un acceptable behavior. " I Greiner said there is a se nse that faculty and . others on campus "would like the (law school recruitment) maner resolved before the semester's end. 1 believe peop le do not want this carried · over into the fall." Greiner also discussed with the council a plan to change the immed iate reponi ng relationship of Public Safety from 1he Office of Vice President for Unive rsity Services Robert Wagner to that of Associate Vice President for Human Resources Cliffo rd B. Wilson. The ' council opened ils meeting bv observing a moment of silenct i~ memory of the late Robert L. Ketter. h then approved unanimously a resolut ion comme nd ing the many contributions of the late former UB president and direc· to r of the National Center fo r Earth· quake Engineering_ Research. (!) Senate okays admitting 100 athletes under lAP By ANN WHITCHER Reponer Staff allowing a sometimes heated discussio n. the Faculty Senate on April 18 approved a mo tion that will all o w 100 athletes 10 be admitt ed under the Ind ividualiz ed Admi ssions Pre gram (lAP). Tl\e se nate also voted to cont inue ind ivid ualized adm issio ns und er resolu ti o ns it had previously passed . lt also reiterated th at the number of students adm iued unde r the progra m must not exceed 10 pe r ce nt of the tot al entering fres hm an class. Students wh o come 10 UB thro ugh th e lA P must have creden1i al1 that fall within ··one standard deviat io n below" th e acceptable T.,.score (a composite of high school average , percentile rank in class. and SAT or ACT scores) for regular admissiOn. The T -score for regular admi s~ion is usually about SO. The 100 spaces fo r athletes are " offers and not admits." Tht se will be .. divided equitably among the men 's and women 's sports through the offices of Director of Athletics Nelson Townsend , in consultation with the coaching staff and the Intercollegiate Athletics Board ," accord· ing to the motion. F A thletic talent assessment will be left entirely to the coaches and Townsend, the measure states. UB 's Individualized Admissions Commillee (lAC). which has faculty representatives serving on a rotating basis, will accept the .first 100 st udents who have completed the application, presented crede nt ials at or above the specified minimum, and .. been appropriately identified by the Division of Athletics l\S recruited st udent athletes." The policy, including the number I00, will be reviewed within three years, and will expire at the end of three ye'ITS unless extend~ by the Faculty Senate. By way of background, Faculty Senate Chair John Boot explained that the Fall 1988 freshman class profile aimed for 2,750 in total admissions, of which 220 were for EOP, 200 for MFC, and 135 for individualized admissio_ns. An.other 130 places were' designated "other." A tbletes are usually the largest component of individualized admissions, but have never been more than 50 per cent of the total admitted, and never more than 40.per cent of those actually registering, Boot said. Recently, a senate commillee chaired by Kenneth Kiser of Chemical Engineering recommended allowing acceptance of 100 student-athletes under the lAP. In a discussion that preceded last week's vote, Townsend said the measure will help his office to "clearly identify the students we should be recruiting . . . . I think it says to our coaches as they recruit , here are the limits. " Coaches, he said, will now know what the acceptable T-score is before recruiting begins. " We can then get some idea of the type of student s that we should recruit. and k ~p from having to disappoi nt people lifter having them o n the line for three or four month s - trying to decide whether someone is going to admit them on an indi vidual basis," as was done earlier. , eor~e Hochfield of English, an outspoken op ponent of the Unive rsity's move to upgrade its athletic program , ve hementl y objected to the motion. He said it Oew in the face of President Sample's published guara~tee th at upgrading athletics won't,.. mean a lowering of admissions standa'rds. .. What we 're talking about is a degradation of our admissions standards. It is not true, as has been said here seve ral times. that this is just a matter of offers. It is the easiest thing in the world for the· Athletics Department to make sure that the 100 offers will be accepted . They're not just going to throw them into the air. • "What's the 'p oint of giving out 100 places if you ca n\ use them all. The suggestion that somehow this is going to work by ·chance. that maybe they11 get some {potential recruits) a nd maybe they won't , is perfectly absurd . The idea is to get 100 places - that 's 400 altogether once you get going. At every point, we will have 400 substandard st udents in the University under this quota. ... It's a quota, that's whal it is. And wh8t a quota means is that the admissions standard for the University is degraded. There's no getting around it. .. _ That is the initial source of corruption when the goal becomes competition at a high level. You have to get the students G in." Contending that the Kiser committee had made its recommendations without sufficient research, Hocbfield requested that the senate postpone a vote until "a meaningful report" could be issued. In his view, the Kiser committee merely collected figures without an undergirding analysis. B ul Claude Welch of Political Science said he supported the motion', in pan' because s41tistics show that "students who have come in one standard deviation below are fully accep- table. These are young men and wo men who, in the criteria applied quite recently, would have co me in through regular admissions . .. Dennis Malone of Enginee rin g said senators were forgetting that no criteria can be developed that absolutely " tell us how to select stud ents who will in fac t succeed in our program .... The reaso n I think the special admission s criteri a shou ld be applied is th a t they enable us to bring some stude nts into the Universit y who , the data shew, do ...!' by and large - as well as our regularly adm itted students do." In any case , Malone said , " a great number of our students come into th is Universit y through processes th at don' have a damn thin g to do with ... regular admissions. They come in through other avenues, like Millard Fillmore College, and as transfers. "So in talking about the (admission ) of 100 athletes or even th e whole special admissions program, we're talking about a minor part of our whole admissions, and (these students) do just as well." schoo l class). ..

Cascio explained , "they would then be subject to abuses." human nght s ac ti vists h ow 10 better reco rd a nd arrange the mate rials in the ir collecti o ns dc ~cri bing the violations of hum an rig hts that occur in '' killing field s" all ove r the wo rld .

Said Cascio. who rece1vcd a sc holarshi p to a ttend. ''there we re peo ple from Latin Amenca, va rio us parts of As1a. Africa. there was even a woman from the West Bank ." The grou p was professio nall y d1vcrse as well. according to Cascio . "The re were law ye r~ . professors of law, sociology, and polillcal sc ience . librarians or documentalists. as well as peop le who work in human rights organi7..at ions. "But what everyone had m com mon. ". she noted. " was th at the y were in so me way res po nsible for orga nizing information in thei r institution havi ng to do wit h human rights." T he H U R IDOCS course lasted six weeks. The first two weeks were used "to familiarize everyone with the basic co ncepts of human rights... said Cascio . The four remai ning weeks were devoted " to the theory and practice of info rm ation handlin g... One thing the: group learned in the: latter part of th e course, Cascio stated . was .. how to arrange information according to the HURJDOCS format. This, she explained, .. is a uniform set of rules used to make jnformation accessible," rather like "a card catalog." Also discussed in the !alter part of the course was a standard format for record· log events (i.e., occurrences of human rights violations), which HURIDOCS is still in the process of developing. This. said Cascio, is a uniform language for recording events "so that they will be more easily interpreted and more easily shtmd." In addition to allowing events to be more easily interpreted, a standard format also enables one, Cascio added, "to record abuses in a uniform way, so that you have an account of who the perpe- "Complete records are vital to dealing with violators. " trator was. who the victim was, what the ci rc umstan ce was. and what action was taken ." Such "accurate and complete informa· tio n" is important, Cascio explained . "so that activities can be substantiated and quantified " when one is building a case against the vio lators of human rigbls. Some human righ ts organizations, according to Cascio. are already keeping detailed and un iform records of human rights abuses. In Argentina, for instance, human rights organizations have kept such records for .. a number of years,.. said Ca.~cin . In fact, she added, activists there have used these records to piece togethe r .. a graphic scheme showing the structure of the entire military," a structure "which was not public before." Also discussed in the last four weeks of the course was how the HURJDOCS format could be used with computers. Such knowledge is important since, according to Cascio, computers are revolutionizing human rights information handling. With the use of computers, said Cas· cio . " mfo rm at io n about VIOlations that used to tak e weeks and months to di sse min ate is now communicated almost insta nt aneously... T he result is that governments a rc associa ted with and therefore must take responsibility for thei r own misd eeds much soo ner. For instantt . Cascio noted. this new techno logy rece ntl y put Malaysia in the world spotl ight within hours after the government there impriso ned so me human rights activists . bviously. governments that arc the subjects of these new computerized information sys tems would be interested in finding and destroying them. In acknowledgement of this interest, hum an rights groups that use computers have developed elaborate security systems. said Cascio. For example, the organization AI haq of the West Bank. Cascio said , "every night down loads the contents of the data base on several d isks. Afterwards, they erase the hard disk." Individuals then take home these different parts of the data base that have been stored on disks. Another type of security system. according to Cascio, is what is called an .. encrypter' program ... This is a computer program which "scrambles information." However, Cascio noted, "the problem with encrypter programs is that if you 0 he location ol the cour~e . the Philippmes. 1~ a hotbed of human right~ violatio ns. According to Cascio. " in th e past year . six human rights att orneys have been killed . Co nseq uentl y. a lot of attorne ys no longe r represe nt people wh ose human rights have bern violated ." In ad dit io n. said Cascio. two human rights activists "disappeared " in Manila during the time she was there. Yet despite th e climate of viole nce and o ppressio n, the human rights movement in the Philippines nourishes. Said Cascio: "There is a lot of human rights activity in the Philippines: a lot of groups arc monitonng the a buses ... In fact , according to an information pamphl et Cascio receiv ed fr o m HURl DOCS . it was .. panl y due to the presence of a very active and strong human rights movement .. in the Philippines that it was still possi ble to hold such a course there. Another reason , Cascio stated, the co urse was held in a troubled , Third World country like the Philippines • rather than in a safer, more nonhero co untry, is "because it was for people in developing countries. " Right now," Cascio conti nued , "information generated about Third World countries is more accessible in the United States and Europe" than it is at its national sources ... People in developing countries would like to maintain more control over this information and have it become more accessible. "It was hoped," she concluded, " that through the efforts of organizations like HURJDOCS, this can become more of a reality." Cascio is currently writing an article on data bases that can be used for human rights research.

CD �April 27, 1989 Volume 20, No. 27 FIQrence Nightingale: the myth & the reality "0 By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reponer Staff n women we must depend. first and last, for personal and household hygiene for preventing the race from degen erating in as far as these things arc concerned," Florence Nightinga le wrote in 1859 in her book Notes on Nursing . N1ghtingalc will be the subject of a program tomorro w and Satu rd ay spon- so red by the School of Nursing . The purpo:,c: of the program. )ays Dean of Nursing Bon ntc Bullough. is to examine "the rcaluy behind the myth of Nightingalc,"m relation to the role and status of women 'in the 19th ce ntury and also to the nursing profession . Nightingale's implication in Notes on Nursing that women a re responsible for the ph ystcal comfort and health of others was qui te harmonious with the 19th century conception of the proper feminine role . Less in sync with Victorian ideology ab out women was the adca in the next se ntence of the passage: .. Would not the true way of infusing the an of preservang its own health into the race be to teach the female pan of it 1n schools and hosp ual s. " ccordmg to Jamce Coo ke Feigenbaum . a professor from D'Youville College who will be prcsentmg a paper at the confere nce, Nig ht ingale. in emph asiz.ing the need for the education of womeo. was .. coun tcnng a pervasive theme that has dominated Western thought from anc1cntto contempo rary umcs. This idea l !i that women shou ld not participate in h1gher education ." Like her book No les on Nu rsing. 1ghungale 's own hfe both reinforced and challenged 19th century notions of a woman's proper place. She chosr a traditionally feminine role. tendmg to the sick and dymg. yet performed tha s role outsade the domestic sphere And not only did Nightingale step out!<~idc the limits of proper Victorian female Jives. into what was most definitely a man's world. she boldly vent ured into the most dangcrou~ i realm of th at world the baulefield . Dunng the Crimean War. despite hostile male doctors and wretched conditions, ight mgale managed to greatly imp rove facilities and care for the wounded. She returned to England and national adoration in 1856. Ill with Crimean fever a nd apparently ex hausted by her adventures. the 36-year-old Night ingale took A "One theory about her 50year sojourn in bed is that she did it in order to manipulate men and get what she wanted, but she had to use feminine wiles to survive. ... " to her bed . She more or less remained there until her death at age 90. I n assuming the life of an inva lid . Nightingale a ppears to ha ve confirmed 19th century ideas about feminine fragilit y, Yet in fact she was as busy in her bed as any politician on the campaign trail. According to Bullough . Nightingale worked "20 hours a day from her bed." writing reports. commandeering her staff, and sending people out to do work in Parliament for her. Nightingale's bed-centered projects included the establishment of the Night ingale Schoo l for Nurses. the inaugu rati o n of a trai ning program fo r midwives. and the reformation of the workhouses. She a lso ass isted, according to Professo rs Eve lyn R . Barriu and Charles J . Bea uchamp. in the defea t of the British Contagious Disease Act. These laws and regulations pertaining to venereal discase. say Barritt and Beauchamp, are si milar in character to the o nes being proposed today to regulate A IDS . 0 ne of Nightingale's most active representatives in these vario us projects , said Bullough, was Sidney Herbert. the Secretary of Wa r and a major figure in th e Cabin,el. Alf>arenlly Nightingale. wh ose public image was of .. a selfsac ri fici ng . kindl y, lovi ng woman," worked Herbert to exhaustion . And whe n He rbert finally died of uremia. he was simp ly "rep laced by others." Bu llough stated . One theory co n ~erning Nightingale's 50-year sojourn in bed. according to S hirley Veith, an as ocia te professor of nursing from Kansas Universi ty, is that Nightingale was ··a psychoneurotic who deliberately took to her bed to manipu late men and get what she wanted ... Whether real or imagined. 01 a combi- ' nation of both, Nightingale's illness. in allowmg her to avoid public engagem e nt ~. enabled her to entirely devo te he rself to th e task a t hand . Bull ough described Nig ht ingale's illness as one of vario us " 19th cen tury coping mechanisms.·· She had to survive in a world where men we re all -powe rful. S he had to Use feminine wiles to accomplish her goals for her patients ... What clearly emerges in the sc ho larshi p th at will be presented tomorrow and Saturday is th at Nightingale, despite her sai ntl y public image. was, as Bullough put it.

In a sense, the birthday we celebrate is more than thaL It's the birthday of UB as a true university. For although a university charter was granted in 1846, the institution that developed was solely a medical school until 1886 a nd strictly an aaaociation of professional schools until the 191 3- 14 academic year. "O ur citizens called fur and obtain ed a university charter, '' Millard Fillmore, the institution's fi rst chancellor, said with more than a h int of reproach as early as1850. But, " where are your academ.ic branches?.... Reflect, and see if it will not be a Law, and Dentistry had become part of the University. TbeMe<tical School was thriving, boasting such accomplishments as the beginning of clinical obstetrics, the nation's first experiments on laboratory animals, and the awarding of the fust appropriation of funds ever made for the purpose of combatting cancer, to faculty member Dr. Roswell Park. • But active interest in a liberal arts college had waned. For one thing, there didn 't seem to be the necessary financial resources to pull it off; for another, the late 19th century had seen the founding of liberal arts colleges at Rochester, Cornell, and-Syracuse - did Western New York still need its own liberal arts institution? l,._.T•"- C harles P. Norton , who assumed the duties of University chancellor in 1905 (though his title would remain vice-chancellor for four years), bart nn answer for that. A re proach upon us.'' he W'tJed. th e community , " if we longer pennit our university to exist with but a single branch in operation." Fillmore was to return time and again to that theme of a Greater University "eminently usefnl" to its community. By the time of nlB death in 1874, however, still only a me<tical college existed. Yet it was a medical school 11 with a pecnliar vision," according to Samuel P. Capen, appointed chancellor in 1922. "The distinguished physiciana and laymen who were the prime movers in the establishment of this institution, while eager to proyide medical service for the rapidly growing popnlation of Western New York, saw from the first the larger educational needs ofthecommunity." The fust effort to meet thoee larger needs came with the short-lived- but neverthelesa "brilliant'' - Teachers College. in the late 19th century, several students bad studied me<ticine here with no intention of ever opening practice; they bad attended the Me<tical School becawoe it was the only form of non-eectarian higher education available in the area. These students, many of them school teachers, joined the founders of Buffalo's new Franklin School to establish the University's School .of Pedagogy in 1895. Four professorships in education, philosophy, p~~ychology, and science were founded, and temporary lecturers were brought in to lead discussions on a variety of issues. Unfortunately,lack of funding cloeed the School ofPedagugy in 1898. Many of thoee involved in the effort, though, wonld take part in the Artll and Sciences College, 15 yeara later. By the turn of the century, profesaional schools of Pharmacy, to " an outsta ndin g citi ze n of Buffalo." Norton a lso provided the building blocks for the liberal arts at UB. In his fust year in office, be proposed a million-dollar expansion program to develop a College of Arts and Sciences on a 10-acre tract between the Albright Art Gallery and the Buffalo Historical Museum. The reanlt would have been a complete cultural center, blending the facilities of all three. The site wonld have also afforded room for limited future developmenL For a ·university without endowment or general community support, the expansion proposal was rejected as being too ambitious and too farreaching. Those who felt that a liberal arts rollege was necessary favored two or three blocks in the immediate vicinity of the Medical-Dental buildings as a more appropriate site. Contemptuous of such a notion, Norton did however agree that his initial plan was not suitable. His reason : It was not fa r -re a ching enough. Learning from Council member Edward R. Michael that Erie County was to vacate the 150-acre s ite of its County almshouse and hospital on North Main Street, the chancellor proposed in 1909 th at the University I acquire at least 106 acres of the land for an arts college and other future needs.

In late 1907, The Express ran a front page article, ''For a Great College," pushing for the acquisition of the County property.

In addition, the mayor, comptroller, and corporation counsel of the City would receive ex-officio membership on the University Council. The aldermen, however, wanted greater representation and proposed that the mayor should be authoriud to nominate nin e others to the Council. Since the City would be providing only a portion of the s upport for th e University , the Council felt that the additional nine members would constitute a diapropor· ti onate municipal voice in the volunteered w teach liberal arts along with purely "pre-med" s ubjects; a group of vo lunteer high school teachers suggested they get started in temporary quarters in the Y.M.C.A. building.

Among these W88 a provision that medical schools must require of EM& E. DI1IIS entering students at leas.t one preliminary year of liberal art& work. Unless that year were provided by the University itself, the medical school at Buffalo would have to depend upon outside institutions. Norton and others who had worked unsuccessfully for a decade to establish such a libera l arts program within the University now had impressive moral support, but financing was still scant. Instead of actually founding the new college 88 a result of the AMA action, the Council of the University authorized only "courses in the art& and sciences,'' equivalent to the first year of college work. English, Latin, history, mathematics, and chemistry were the first programs offered, followed by psychology, education, physics, biology, and philosophy. Once students had completed the courses, they could either enter as sophomores at another college, or continue in one of UB's professional programs. In 1913, 35 students enrolled full time in tHe courses, which were set up in the building shared by Medicine a nd Pharmacy on High Street in downtown Buffalo. There were only two full -time teachers, with faculty from Medicine or Pharmacy filling in the gaps, along with a number of high schoo l teach ers who could make it to High Street for afternoon classes. Teachers were paid two dollars an hour. The college "offi ce" consisted of a cou ple of desks in the librarian's 1894-1985 From 1916 until her retirement in 1960, Emma Deten kept track of more than 100,000m.denta.

It ia no ex•11eration to aay that thia influence extended beyond the bounda of the University, even of the City, well into the reaches of the educational and profeuional life of the State and nation." Deters served u reliatrar of the CoUete of Arta an4 Science• !rom 1916to 1928. Altho4h a woman In a predominantly male profeaaion, she did not feel any di.crimination.

The Buffalo News in 1913 hailed the courses, ostensibly comprising a oneyear "pre-med" program, as a positive sign of things to come: "We should not give children the idea that everyone must have a university training, but the city is wise that maintains a school of the highest rank in order to have a standard toward which all may strive and all may go as far 88 their resources of mind will let them....

While professional schools might exist solely on student fees, it was clear that a full-fl edged academic department needed more.

The drive enlisted 24,000 subscribers and produced $5,000,000 in ten days in the fall of 1920. It was a campaign " unique in the annals of American ed ucation," UB histori an Julian Park claimed. " In ten days a compara· tively unknown and poverty·stricken un iversity acq uired funds , friends by the thousands , a nd internationa l fame. " Cooke repeated the performance in 1929, obtaining pledges for a somewhat larger s um from 33,000 s ubscribers. Under his leadership, the University was one o&-th.!'• filst in America to receive voluntary eontri· butions from large numbers of individuals outside its alumni body. "Those who labor for univeraitiea and give to them are torch-bearers as truly aa those who live and labor in the universities," a juhilantCookeaaid in announcing the campaign results~ " I see our city becoming a new city, transfigund by what you have done through your faith in a great idea." The campaign of 1920 enabled the University to begin developing the property purchased from lbe County in 1909. Under the initial agreement, the land, if not put to educational use within 10 years would refttt to the County. In !9l!i, when nothing ~ad yet been done, a one-year extenBlOD was granted.

And, with its first class newly graduated, and its enrollment and programs s piraling, the College of Arts and Sciences promised to play a vital role in th e Un iversity's future. T o help fulfill that promise, a n ew leader ha d some ideas. The College must be further defined and its curriculum unified and less ra n · dollily decided upon. There sh ould be independent study. And all graduates should master a particular field of knowledge. In this way, said Samuel P. Capen, the University's first full . time chancellor, the College of Arts a nd Sciences can become as serious a nd purposeful as the professional division s of th e University. The highl y respected scholar a nd former director of the Ameri can Council on Education would guid e the institu· tion's d"''tiny for 28 years. And his commitment to the arts and sciences would be profo und . flistorian John Horton remem bered years later: " Dr. 'Capen said a coll ege of arts and sciences is ... the nex us of a university . He devoted a great deal of time after 1922 to build· ing up the College. He was much more interested in recruiting the faculty than he was in building buildings. Wh ere yo u h ave professors a nd s tudents, he said , there you h ave a uni versity , even if it's in a n open field.." One o f Ca pen's firs t moves was to propose th a t the University adopt the British model for honors courses, bas ed on ind epende nt study a nd ultim a te m aste ry of a specifi c field , a nd a pply it across the curri culum . Such bold ideas were nol new to the University. In hi s ina ug ura l address, Capen h ad poi nted proudly to the fact th at 1!126 • CoUege baa an en· rollmentofoead,y 1,000 1L11dents.

In 1931. courses in education were brought together in a school and the School of Social Work 'became independent in 1936. TheGraduateSchool of Arts and Sciences (now si mply the Grad uate School) offered its first progTams a s an individ ual division in 1939. C a pen's far-reaching curricul um changes were maintained for the 25 years, although undergoing modi· fication with the rapidly increased enrollments of th e post-World War II period. But his influence extended beyond th e curriculum; his entire administration was a time of broadbaSed c h a ng e , g r o wth, a nd innovation. The loose amalgamation of independent sch ools existent at his inauguration was s killfully welded into a coordinated institution as Capen continually championed the unity in the term University. More and more full-time faculty were added to the h a ndful who greeted his arri· val. In less than 15 years, the patch of former-County land on Main Street developed into a real cam pus, starting with Foster Hall in 1922. Milla rd Fillmore College was insti· tuted in 1923, meeting the needs of ad ults in the ·COm mun ity th rough evening classes. Experiment and innovation were encouraged in the professions as well. Dental students from 1923 received the same basic medical science education as medical students; a program in nursing was added to the Medical School; th e hormone, cortin, a remedy for Add ison 's disease was di scovered in 1930 by Dr. Frank A. Ha rtm a n , and impor· t.ant work in blood factors was carri ed out by Dr. Ernest Witebsky. These days of educational devel· opment were not easy ones financially. While C ha ncello r Capen came to the University in the wake of a successful $5 million campaign , this represented th e entire amount of funds available. The second drive in 1929, successfull y subscribed, end ed the day of the stock market crash and much of the pledged money was never actua lly received. Capen went ahead to build and run the University, a former dean said, "on first class principles with almost no money." /fJ3!J • The Graduate School of Arta and Sciences offe ra ita fiut program• a1 an ind ependent divil:ion. 1941 •Immediately a ft er th e W orld War ll transformed th e University as it did all American society.

The Universi ty now looked a~d funct:J~ned lt~e that total institution envtstoned m th e 19th century.

The tutorial system , the core concept of the CoHege, co uld not remain unaf· fected by these dramatic changes. Capen's s uccessor T. Raymond McConnell , while concentrating on planning for the future of the Univer· sity , urged further evaluation of that system, already modified to allow for more fl exibility and other methods of instruction. But it would be another decade before the tutorials were replaced to meet the needs of a UniveTBity rapidly outgrowing its image as a "street-car college." That growtj> waa to be relenUesa through the '60s and early '70... Clif· ford C. Furnaa, a nationally !mown educator and ocientiat, on hio inauguration aa chanoellor in 1954, set the agenlla for hio term in office: "Grow in ototure and in quality ....Expand and grow without looa of quality. That ia the taak -now let's get on with it forthwith." Furnaa led UB through an extensive program of enrichment and building to meet the demando plaoed upon it aa the Jargeot inatiwtion of hiahor edut'llion in the weotem area of New York. By 1962, the University occupied 43 buildings accommodating 10,881 day stu_dento, most of whom were full -time. Full ·t•me faculty stood at 667. With the new Cbanoellor Furnas came a new look at the College of Arts and Sciences. Of particular concern . was the cloud of over·apecializat:ion , a situation which faculty had tned to curb aa early aa 1939 when they adopted a rule that students must complete at least 72 hours of work outside their fields of concentration. Nonetheless, national teat resull:' such as the Graduate Record Exa~•­ nations continued to make the pomt that UB studento, while demonstra· bly superior in their mlliors, were not as well versed in other areas generall~ regarded aa evidence of a broa education. The College muat take ·-~-bil­ ity for the problem of ovenpeciabm· lion, the new adminiatralion con· eluded. A1i a result, oopbomore compreber10ive ex&JDbuatiooa w"£ introduced, both to teoJt the decree o overall educationaLbreadth and to encourage il ln 1957;-the faculty approved a system of basic and di&tribution requiremento within the context of the 72-hour rule. Basic ~uiremento included Enaliah, a modem languajre, and mathematics. In 1962, the tutorial plan waa dia· �/ AN/II IY ERSARY AKTS & SCIENCES li NI \ 'USilY AT BUFfAlil , sciences and humanities). a nd a onesemester course in each of the two remaining areas. Most students with a major in th e Arts an d Sciences had to take a oneyear course in each of the areas, which included a year of foreign language, and a second social science. The College of Arts and Sciences . was further enriched by the 1957 merger of the Art Department and the well-known community institution, the Albright Art School, and the development of the poetry and manuscript collections at Lockwood Memorial Library. Beginning in the late '50s, out· standing American and international composers were brought to campus with funding provided by the Visiting Slee Professorship in Music; the first resident was Aaron Copland, whose lectures took place in the newly constructed Baird Hall. Aa a result of the Frederick C. and Alice Slee bequest, an annual series of concerts encompassing the complete cycle of Beethoven Quartets was established and is still performed today. In 1962, the renowned Budapest String Quartet took up residence in the Department of Mus ic. The presence here of the Budapest, remarked the then-dean of Arts and Sciences, " more than anything else became th e visible monument both to our present achievement of highest distinction in the Fine Arts and to our vision of greatne&s for the College and for the entire U ni versi ty. •• In the sciences, physics was provided with a new facil ity, a renovation and extension of Hochst.ett.er Hall, and in 1959 the first unit of the Acheson Hall for chemistry was dedicated. .. ,_._.,,II» ········~· Alldiw 1iGI.

Research programs were viewed both as educational pursuits and as spurs to com· munity industrial growth and economic health in the age of space and technology. During the decade of the '50s, sponsored research expenditures grew tenfold, reaching $4.2 million annually by 1962-63.

Immediately, UB came into the equation . Merger with an established , full-range institution would give a very substantial head start to the development of a major State University at Buffalo. And UB, with the resources of the State behind it, could realize its goals of greater service. After months of discussion, uncertainty, and complex negotiation, the University of Buffalo became the State University of New York at Buffalo on September I, 1962. AB PW.ident Furnas said of events immediately following the changeover, "it was clear that there were to be no real shifts in the basic tenets of freedom, integrity, and public service. What was emerging was a new confidence, a new hope for a future of even greater fulfillment of the needs of New York in higher education."

J. Jlc6ll11t / 902 As United States Education Commissioner from 1949-53 , Earl McGrath is counted among the University' s most famous alumni. It was his ye ars here uetudent, administrator, and teacher that prepared him for that rol ~. Most significant was his association with Chancellor Capen. In the late '20s, McGFath moved from associate director of personnel research to psychology instruotor to assistant dean ofthe evening divison when the chancellor approached him with another job offer. At $3,000 per year, McGrath would .. he lp around the office and do all kinds or odd jobs and make some atudies of teaching loads and soon." He took thejoba.sCapen's aaaiatant and stayed at Buffalo, with a few interruptions, for nearly 25 years. '"Could anything be more exciting than belpinJ to build an in.otitution from the ground up?" aaid McGrath in • 1977 article in CJuua6e maaa.zine.

On the chancellor's advice, McGrath took a break in 1933 to earn a doctorate in higher education at the University of Chicago. He returned to work for Capen from 1935-38 before accepting a position at the American Council on Education. uWbateve r I lmow about higher education . ..

New departments were created by separa t· ing government from history to form th e Department of Political Science an d geography from geology by esta blis h in g the Depa rtm ent of Geogra phy and the Department of Geological Sciences. Altogether th e College listed 20 departments. T he mid-'60s represented a significant period in the history of the College for reasons other than its sudden expansion. Talk of reorganization accompanied growth. A Committee on the Rrorganization of the College of Arts and Sciences (CORCAS) found that, rather than providing a liberal education, the College presided " over one or another form of vocational training, such as the preparation of high school teachers or the preprofessional preparation of candidates for Graduate or Medical School." General education had become primarily the responsibility of the University College, "implying that the liberal education should or may be completed during the first two yeara." CORCAS pointed to the "continuous erosion" of the idea of a liberal education at UB, along with overwhehiling pressures of " professionalism ...fundament8lly contrary to the ends of liberal education." The committee proposed creation of three di visions with executive offices under a sin gle Arts and Sciences administration . While th e College geared up for a big organ izati on al change, the Universi ty prepared for a major physical ch a nge. Plans to build a new $130 million camp us th ree miles n orth of the Main StTeet location in the Town of Amherst were unveiled in 1964 . Although the Uni vers ity expected a master plan to be in place sometime in 1965, t he pl!!fnin g was des tined to become embroiled in controversies, delays, restudi es, and changes for a s pa n of nearly two decades. As Furnas stepped d own as pres i· dent in 1966, th e University was in th e midst of a n era of unpreceden ted student Activis m. UB was instru cted by the State to take on one-thirteenth of SUNY's projecteq260,000 full ·time stud en ts by 1974. 1>rojected Buffalo en rollment for that fu ture year was set at 37.000; full-tim e graduate students were t.o increase from 4,200 to 6,900. To meet such demands , th e U n iversity proposed a significant increase in numbers of facul ty, including a con· centra ted recruitment of truly distin· guis hed scholars. New programs, n ew schoo ls, a nd n ew administrative mecha nisms would h ave to be deve-loped. Old ones would h ave to be improved.

And his goal to "provide a new path to liberal education through the methods, insigh ts, and research of transformed professional edlft:ation" would bring about the end of a formal College of Arts and Sciences. Meyerson reorganized the University into seven faculties, structuring the disciplines into clusters combin· ing the theoretical and the applied. As CORCAS had proposed, the College of Arts a nd Sciences was divided into the three faculties of Arts and Lette~ . Social Sciences and Administration, and Natural Sciences and Mathemat· ics. Social Sciences embraced the former Schools of Social Welfare and Business Administration. (Business Administration changed its name to the School of Management, breaking away from the faculty to establish independent status in 1972.) Arts and Letters took on administrative responsibility for a new School of Architecture and Environmental Design. Brought in to head the new Social Sciences and Administratio faculty was Warren G. Bennis, former chairman of Organizational Studies at MIT. Eric A. Larrabee, former editor of Horizon and American Heritage. was recruited to lead Arts and Letters, a nd Natural Sciences and Mathematics welcomed James F. flanielli , head of UB's Center for Theoretical Biology. To remove barriers between disciplines and to build bridges among faculties, the two-year University College was res tructured into an administrative divipion for all bacca· laureate degree programs, drawing upon all faculties for ita instructional programs. Another bridge was the college system under which faculty. and resident and non-resident undergraduate and graduate students were to be provided "intellectual" homes in campus units of no more than 1,000. Coordinating the University programs were the Division of Undergraduate Studies, the Graduate School , the Division of Continuing Education (i ncluding Summer Sessiops). 191 millioo iD aDd Erie Coou~Qo_ ---""' . • CoDMnoclioa boP>o ... tbe A.mha!ot c..- $650 milliooL ..............a..-. .

With Peter Regan as acting president in 1969-70, the University withstood the attack and burning of ROTC offices, minority clashes with the Medical School over admiasiona and health care in the core city commu.n ity, and, spurred by confrontations between students and campus police, a period of"nightmarish violence" with seores of injuries -------------,.__ •m·-1 -~ --IJ.~ -.--o.a.

Events on campus reflected a nation s imilarly disrupted, confused, and rebellious as the unpopular Vietnam War continued, the Civil Rights s truggle shifted into high gear, and the valuea and priorities of a whole nation were caBed into question. In the smaller arena of a newly expanding University , the violence and unrest threatened to halt a sleady march toward national prominence as an innovator in higher education . AB one faculty member put it, th e question was "whether the Univer· sity is going to 'die, or going to recover.'' It was the next president who man· sged to restore stability on campus and lift the University out of the "quagmire of hostility" that had come to characterize its relations with the community. But in a twelve-year term spanning the most important devel· oping years of the University as a public institution, Robert L Ketter did much more than maintain status QUO . A faculty member for more than a decade, as well as a former dean of the Graduate School and vice president for facilities planning, Ketter was named president at a time when the University had just about exhausted its post-merger financial honeymoon. · General economic difficulties com· bined with increased competition among a variety of social priorities to slow nearly to a standstill State fund ing of higher education. Diacriminate development replaced heady, acrossthe-board expansionism. It was an adjustment at times painful for the University. Despite early and repeated insist- - llliiiiYL ... - ence on the need for sound future planning, the campU3 community, in the President's wonls, learned only with difficulty towanl the ..,d of the decade that " the institution must allocate and reallocate its resources selectively and through careful planning rather than relying upon inter· nal politics and a random process of attrition." Several draft plans for reallocating resources were tldvanced, but none ever achieved the consensus Ketter hoped for. He called the slow and ineffective pace of planning the greatest disappointment of his administration . Arts and sciences units, faced with declining enrollments, sometimes felt neglected in these days of priority funding for so-called " high-demand" areas. Nonetheleas, the taler '70s saw the University finally move most of its academic division s to the Amherst site.. This achievement, which con· sumed much of Ketter's energies in his lengthy term, represented the greatest mark left by his administration.

Several A..rts and Letters departments were united in Samuel Clemens Hall in 1976; the adjacent Slee and Bainl Halls added the Music Department to the mix in 1981. But it was not until 1986 that the Social Sciences were brought into a centralized cluster with the opening of Park Hall, and it will be sometime in the early 1990s before the major building for the •Natural Sciences and Mathematics is in use. Arts and Letters will further benefit from the establishment of a Fine Arts Center on the North Campus by 1993. In 1981 , the opening of Slee Chamber Hall marked the new campus as the institution's cultural focus . A year later, the Alumni Arena added yet another resource for staging cultural-recreational activities where campus and community could mingle. Significant scholarly achievements continued to be regislered as well, in the arts and sciences and throughout th e University . The c umulative effects of such achievements were emphasized in a report submitted by a panel of outside evaluators who visiled the campus during the fall of 1979 to conduct a review of the institu · tion and the president mandated by the Board of Trustees. The evaluators · -college presidents all -concluded their aasessment with the thought that "to the extent that SUNY can be said to have 'stars' it seems clear UB is a star." _,,.... .. ..___ .-.-...- ·rm ____ _... •r--• --...-.... _..... . ___ ·---"m.-..m._._ .....,._ ..._ -- 6w~• .- .... _ ..,....___,., -. --"' ................ ...........-...-.. ~ ~­ ......,,..__._ ..... _ _ _ __ (L _.p_ ~ ... -~---­ _-~­ .. u _ . .. -- �ARTS &SCIENC£5 S ince the mid-'60s, the University had been striving toward devel- opment into a major graduate institu· tion. Some admi nistr ators and faculty worried that the undergradu ate program would suffer as a result. Here and on campuses across th e country, unde rgraduate ed ucation program s were. often narrowly defined , typically turning out overspecialized students. Other programs had been weakened by an opposite but equally serio us flaw: a random diversity or "virtually haphazard accumulation of co urses. with little or no curricu.J ar rationale.'' In 1971, th e dean of th e Division of Undergraduate Studies (the new name of th e University College) complained th at some departments had been treating undergradu ate programs " like a stepchild," that they were reluctant to give service courses, and that th ey were holding the number of majors down by uppin g entrance requirements.

In 1972, recognizing various problems related to undergraduate education and academic standards that had developed in the years since th e merger, President Ketter called upon the University "!<> clearly define th e expectations (it]... has in regard to co nt e mporar y undergraduat e education." Faculty Senate Chair Geo'lle Hocbfield in 1974 observed that UB'slower division program, essentially a group of unrelated introductory courses, bad provoked a " great deal of dissatisfaction in some quarters," and a cooferen.,., was promptly held to generate new ideas about bow to handle lower division education.

To William R. Greiner (who in 1980 was ILIIIOCiate vice prsident for academic affairs) the Faculties of Arts and Let-ten N~tural Sciences and Mathematics and Social Sciences were not effecti~ely handlinll undergraduate education, as the College of Arts and Sciencea had done- before the eeparation. "lt.wasn't quite clear to ua or to the deana ofthoee three faculti01 who had the reeponeibillty for ~era! edu~­ tion and general ove,..,..ht of qaality W devised in 1981. The College would reintegrate the disciplines and the departments of arts and sciences as well as handle the general functions of under graduate education in those disciplines. A broad·based task force, which included the three deans of the arts and sciences, the dean of the Gradu· ate School, and the dean of the Oiv· ision of Undergraduate Education, sat down to seriously consider the proposal. They aoon found that, "having knocked Humpty Dumpty off the wall, putting the pieces back together was going to be awfully difficult." ''The ecientiata and social ecientiata and humanists had all come to oee that they were to aome extent profes· eional and they wanted to protect their profeeaional authority," Greiner explained. ''The profeB~~ionala, on the other hand, were saying: what we want you to do ia serve our people, we want our .tudenta to be broadly edu· cated before they move into a profea· eional p..,..-.m, and why don't you do renewed emphasis on and commitment to recruiting the very best students in the State. A decade-long decline in freshmen majoring in arts and sciences was addressed through an effort to make students more fully aware of the University 's excellent degree programs in fields other than the "high demand" areas of engineering, management, and the health professions.

The Honors Program, whieb in its eatahliahment in 1981 demonstrated a renewed commitment to one ef the · University's major strengths from the Capen era, in just four years came to serve as a model both for campuses throughout SUNY andJor a growing number of public reaean:h univen~i· ties elsewhere.

T h ese and other efforts resulted in a 1985 entering class whoseSATcredentia]s were n early 30 poin\5 hi yer than in 1984. Nea rly half of them were in the top45 per cent of th ei r high school graduating classes. At the same time. UB enrolled more minority students th ~n any other State-operated unit of SUNY. It was the Undergraduate College, how~er. which represented the capstone of the undergraduate re nais· sance at UB. Sample charged the ove rseers of this " most important " initiative to design courses a ppropriate to Lhe ed ucation al needs of stu · dents who would live the greater portion of their li ves in the 21st century. In the lwo- and one-half yearS since its inception, the Undergrad uate Col· lege has made significant headway in th e a rea of curri culum revision. John Thorpe, vice provost for Undergraduate Education and dean of the Col· lege, likes to think of it as an improvement rather th a n replacement of the existing curriculum. '' What we see a re new courses bei ng worked into th e ex isting General Education req uireme nts even as we are thinking about what a new structure mi ght look like onr:e all of these courses have been eva_l uated and incorporated," Thorpe ex plained. The first course developed by the College was a freshman seminar program, adopted in fall 1987. About 40 seminars have been offered each semester since, providing s ma ll class environments in which beginning stud ents stud y with seni or fac ult y members. " World Civilization ," la un ched in faJI 1988, is an ambitious twosemester course aiming to provide studen ts with a n awareness of non· Western as well as Western cultures and traditions. Classes a.r e taught by faculty from disparate disciplin es suoh aa history , anthropology, clas· sics, and philosophy. The most controversial and hotly debated course to date is " American Pluralism," designed to raise stu· dents' sensitivity to the forces creating cultural disunity . To be piloted aa an elective in fall1989, the course will be taught by faculty from various disciplines and will feature readings ranging from landmark Supreme Court decisions on disuimination to cl888ic texts by Alice Walker and W.E.B. DuBois. As with World Civili· zation , the American Pluralism course incl udes readings common to all sections with others chosen by individ ual instructor..s. Among other coUTSes in th e works are a sequen ce of introductory co urses in science and ma t.hqpatics des igned for students not in tending to major io these areas, a nd a core course for sophom ores on ex pressive events and interpretive s trategies employed in Arts and Letters and Social Sciences. The efforts of th e Undergraduate College a re intended to improve the en tire General Education program , now grown too large a nd unwieldy to effectively provide the structun!: as well as the depth, breadth , and coher· ence essential to the undergraduate experi ence. Because of th e hu ge number of courses that now meet Ge neral Education requ i re me nts, students could easily choose courses that are tota lly unrel ated. " Any in tegration of the courses had to be done on the part of th e student," Thorpe said. "There was no effort on the part of the University to integrate that knowledge." The strides UB has made in rest'TUcturing general education has put th e University "at the cutti ng edge of what's happening at universities across the co untry," he said . needs to be affirmed and encouraged now is the reunification of the parts of that co re, a mong themselves, even within the rea lity of an explosive ex pa nsion of knowledge," Sample said. "There must be an integration not of th e arts and the sciences, but of the orts with the sciences. so th at th e whole becomes sy n ergistic and interconnected." Using the intellectual breadth of a Leonardo da Vinci aa a model, Sam· pie said, faculty should participate in research, creative activity, a nd teaching that is interdisciplinary in nature, and students should be enco uraged to concentrate in two widely separated fi elds. Bol s ter ed by th e University 's ren ewed commitment to th e arts and sciences, th e Undergraduate College may provide the final pus h toward th e truly "Greater University" that bas been evollring these 75 years. 0 Local phllanlhrtipioto.,., communlly-.booetedthe-oclenceo ot the um-.Hy before the COllege . . . -.

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

The appointment will bolster attempts . to secure contracts with foreign governments, international foundations, and others, along the lines of the successful Cooperative Educational Program in Malaysia. Stephen Dunnett, co-directo r of the Malaysian program , has been na med to the newly created post . According to Pro,vost William Greiner, the appointment formalizes the work Dunnett has been doing for so me "time . Dunnett will take a n ind efinite leave from his position as associate professo r of lea rnin g and inst ructi o n. He will continue, howe ver, as direc tor of th e Intensi ve English Language Institute (lEU). An offi ce in Bon ne r Hall now oversees the adm inistra tion of the Malaysia program . which is funded b y the Malays ian gove rnmen t. The same office is also administering a new Ind onesian progra m and is investigating several other overseas o pportunities. Timoth y J . Rutcnbcr , director of a dministrati on for th e Mal ays ian program, says his office .. does the dayto-day detail work in managing these overseas programs. We handle budget , contractual issues. personnel appointments, and tbe administrati on of fringe and overseas benefits. We also make travel arrange~ents, and provide all the logistical suppon needed to run a campus hal fway a round the world ... Rutcnber directs a staff of six ; a ll staff salaries arc pai d by the co ntracts ... We do n't use any State funds or any insti tutional monies of any so rt. We are fully reimbursed by the: contract, and this co ntinues as we go along, .. Rutcnber states. reiner explains that in the B on n ~r operation, .. we: have an office patd for with contract money, one that has done a first-dass job with the Malaysi an program , " which is co-directed by George C. l...e<, dean of Engineering. G By ANN WHITCHER Stall Reporter This office, he says, is capa ble of ..facilitating UB's overseas academic activities .... The big emphas is will be on programs th at su pport themselves ... .In times of (budget) trouble, I think internationaJ programs get looked at the hard est. Yet from the University's point of view. it 's a disaster not to ha ve a significant and strong international presence. ··so we have this vehicle: al ready in place as a way of doing overseas acade mic activity with o ut ·having to ask the State to pay for it in a time of a budget crisis. And in Stephen D unnett. we have a very effective co ntract negotiator a nd diplomat. His experience with the highly regarded I ELl is a special fac tor in this rega rd a nd makes him a very a ttra ctive partner for ove rseas govern ments to work with.·· U B does have the Co un cil on Intern ati ona l Studies and Programs to develop internati onal prog rams. But thi s group operates with volunteers and has o nl y a modest budget. Says Greiner: ... We didn't have an out Teach office that would help develop new inte rn ational programs. that would be a service office to help deans and facult y devel•p international program interests. and help with the expansion of faculty ouncil C hair J ohn Tho ma.."i. wh o is associate dean of international stu dies fo r the Management School. agrees: .. This brings in to the provost 's office a real foc us on internationa l stud ies, something the Universi ty really needs....

C The: new office, Thomas emphasizes. ··will facilitate: internatio nal activities on the part of depanments and sc hools. By no means is it an attempt to cent ralize international programs.'"' Rutc:nbcr explains that securing one of these con tracts requires some delicate foo twork. Staff members go abroad to make their presenta tions. Rapport with th e sponsoring organizatio n is very im portant , because a range of often subtle factors can affect a school's chances. Says Rutcnber: "Often these co ntracts are won on the basis of interpersonal relati ons. the rapport one has wi th the sponsor, how well one knows the language. and how sensitive one is to the cul tu ral co ntex t. The negotiations can take a long time. . You have to be patient - th at's th e key word ... Joseph Williams. director of Internatio nal Edu ca tion and Services. will conti nue to oversee .. what ha ppens to ou r stud ents when th ey go abroad and to international students when they come here."

I think it will be a very effect ive venture, one that has unlimited potential for the University ... f his appointment, Dunnett protests mod estly that "a number of people here co uld do this job well." He's just happy that U 8 " has reached a leve l of maturit y in the international area that makes this positio n via ble ... Some uni versities, says Dunnett, first gained renown as research schools, then developed their international proftle. UB, on th e other hand , has been slightly a head of the game as it forged successful programs in China and Malays ia. "'O ur progra ms in Asia are the en vy of the Californi a schools. They thought previously that Asia was their monopoly, their backyard . Now they accept us there, and in fact begrudgingly recognize th at in a way we have d o ne better than they have . The West Coast sc hools all bid on the trami ng programs in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur." U B has been successful , Dunnett says, because of its location. which is attractive to many fo reign natio nals, and the Unive rsit y's academ ic reputati on ... We cou ldn 't ha ve gone ove rseas if we hadn't bee n respectable in o ur home base. btcausc the co untries that have invited us to opera te branch cam puses have investi gated us very ca refully.

The 1982 US-Beijing agreement, he explai ns, was the first to be established between~an erican universi ty and the entire .. i Munjcipal System. The I ELI al as a braoch in Beijing. AdditiOnally , US's M a na gement School has a sc hoo l for management stud y in Dalian, China. This was es tablished unde r the auspices of the U.S. Department of Commerce and its governmental counterparts in China. Just rece ntl y. the Universi ty set up an English language profietency program in Indonesia. C lasses began in Jak.an a. the Indonesian capital. in late J a nu ary with about 50 stud ents. This program is being conducted by the I ELI . " Progra ms like th is really enhance the stature and reputation of UB," says Rutenber , wh o came here in 1986 from T ufts University, where he administered a $17 million progra m in West Africa. ..There is n o way we can become a topranked research university unless we have that international reputati on and flavor. " he adds. " Programs like this are a gia nt step in th at direction ... Competition for s uch overseas contracts is .. fierce," and the foreign governments involved often .. have their pick " of fine American sc hools to choose from , Dunnett says. Many of .. the majo r players" have soph isticated , well-funded front offices established to ''seck out. bid on, and deliver" overseas programs. he adds . For insta nce. the Midwestern University Consortium for Intern ati o nal Education. which bid o n the Mala ysi\n program. has about 30 profess\onai s taffc~. an d sent a team of about 15 to M alaysia. Dunnett points o ut. Although U B has done well in securing contracts. it now will be in a better position to compete. officials say . "The lead time (fo r bidd ing on) many o f th ese programs is very sha n ," says Dunnett ... The governme nt will ann o unce an initiative an Latm "Our programs in Asia are the envy of the California schools. They thought previously that Asia was their monopoly, 'their backyard.

George Lee aild I would write them in hotel rooms overseas and type them up th e next day ourselves." In secu ri ng overseas contracts, Uun • nett says he has been able to draw on foreign al umn i of the University, as well as some of the more than 12,000 students trai ned by the JELl over the last 18 years. "Most of them are sponsored by companies o r governments. Many of them now have moved on to posi tions of authority o r responsibility back hom e. So whe n I go overseas, I can use th at network of lEU alumni to help me get appoi ntments to see high government officials." Other alumni can provide s1m1lar en tree. "Our (foreign) alumn i have very stro ng attac hments to Buffalo . because 11 was a co mmunit y that welcomed them and a faculty th at cared about them ."

CD "TV news and 'adverts' seem lacking here, but the US has been mindopening." British group studies graphic design here By STEPHEN GARMHAUSEN Reporter Stall local drinking establishment was recentl y visi ted by a handful of curious exchange students from England 's Waiverhampton Polytechnic Institute . The rugby team from a nCarby I institu tion of higher learning had the sa me idea that night. and during the co urse of things they were inspired to exec ute a frenzied pile-on on the noor of the bar. T he nonplussed foreigners divined that this ritual was aime1i at Imp ressing the females presen t Odd. these Americans. A he five Wolverhampton stud en ts arc studying graphic design at UB's Art Depanmcnt this se mester . under an exc h ange program j ust esta'blis hed between the two schools. They are finding plent y of cultural adjustments to be made . In the process the y' re discoveri ng America's good points along with its - well - other points. For instan ce. they say, take the way U.S. supermarkets work. . What would ttppear to be a 50 ce nt item turns ou t to be a 54 cent item once the tax is figured in. In England, the price marked includ es taxes. On the positive side. that grocery item is availab le 24 holJrs a day. thank s to another American phenomenon. th e 24hour su permarket. It 's conve nie nt and the stude nt s have observed that Amr:ncans like conve ni ence. T Like the way they !ltcadfastl y gua rd thctr traditional svste m of measurement whtlc the rest of the globe ha!! long since co nverted to the metnc .,,·stem. And their din1ng habits the; freq uentl y avoid fixing dinner by havi ng it prepared for them a t fast-food re s taurant ~ . They can even pick up the phone and ha ve it brought to their fro nt door. Gads. he Wolve rhampt o n students, in their seco nd of a three-year co ll ege T program, decided that the exchange would be their best opportuni ty to see the States ... This is the las t chance wc11 have to travel really. We11 all be graduating next year," says Jim Pearso n. They chose to stud y abroad. say the students, because they felt the experience would provide some inspiration before they begin their final year of stud ies. The students. conserving resources. are ca r-less and phone·less at their offcampus apartment. But their spirits seem to be survivi ng both the ali'Stere liv ing conditions and the culture shock . The higher-education system in the U.S. is quite different th an England"s. the students found . Back home. only a small part of the population attends college, with most opting to move as soo n as possible into the job market. For those who go to college, there is an emphasis on individualism in one·s work. and practice is stressed more than rhcory . Scudcnts see lhc professors a.s th eir equals, excep t of co urse i n ex perience, and they address them by their first names. In the graphic design department at Wolverhampton, there arc no formal classes, a nd grading is done by "ex ternal assessors .. - representatives of busi nesses or ot her colleges. With the professors serving in aq advisory capacity. students are free to develop tbeir own styles. " Here ... says Maria Wheat ley. ··a lot of students work. to -plcast the lecturers.·· ut if U.S . st udents approach the1r work with less individualism. the visitors say they in turn have a qualit y English stud ent s lack . T hey"re mo re immedi ately friendly . When a st udent invited the group to visit him in New York, says Andy Gardiner. ··we didn 't know at fi rst whether he meant it or nol. In England you have to know so me o ne for years before he11 invite yo u to visi t a nd mee t hi s family ... B The students noted that they arc often received wi th enth usiasm o nce thc1r accents betray their nationality . The accent seems to be a novelt y, they report with amusement. Darren Crawforth remembers being told by an American that the group sounds ··sop hi sticated .·· Pearso n was tQJ.d..t.Qat they "speak like rock stars... '-- T he accents may not be a ny more .. so phisticated" than ou rs. but some aspects of English life arc. the y say. ThCsc are the "adverts .. - what we know as commercials. "We end up laughing after every (American) TV commercial," says Crawforth. "Absolute rubbish." Noting an excess of advertised treatments for hair loss, he marvels. ..everyone here see ms concerned with going bald." And with making a buck. "Commercial. ism is everywhere .... he says ... You can't turn away from it. " Government regulation in England forces advertise· ments there to be more subtle, explain the students. For instance. a person in a cigarette ad can't be depicted as macho or as ha vi ng superhuman powers due to smoki ng the cigarcnes. Usually . they say. the person isn't even shown smoking . And the Marlboro Man ~o uldn 't make it in Britain . Says Pearson: " feminism see ms to be bigger there and the 'macho man' idea is out. Men trying to ~t that way would be laughed at. ... The news end of the American media. they say. can also be disappointing short on news and heavy on sports ... We couldn't believe it when they showed on ly a couple of seconds on the (Alaska) oil spill." said Crawforth. Ad ded Pearson: "When we were in England, we knew more of what was going on in the States than we do now." hat do the students think of the Queen Ci ty? While they did find a few drawbacks like the lack of public transp o rtation and the infamo us weather. they rcpon !hat Lhey were pleasantly surprised with the live music sce ne and the local art galleries. And though 11 was at first difficult to meet American student s at UB. the gro up says they've managed to make some close friend ships. But the Wo lve rhampton students say th ey've hardly see n enough of America to make a fmal evaluation. Over winter break. the y traveled to New York. and we re quite impressed with Soho and the city's galleries. Crawforth calls it .. th e · best time I ever had ... At the end of the semes ter the stud ents . plan to spend three weeks seeing as much of th e rest of the country as they can . Bosto n is on th e agenda. and San Francisco. ·· Definitt!l\' San Francisco." says Crawfroth. W hat they've expe rienced so ~ar, all agree. has been mmd-opc nmg. A different culture has given them a counte rpoint to their own, and a different ed ucational style has forcea them to rethink. and defend their approaches to th eir work.. Says Crawforth< "As people and as graphic designers we've really matured." The students say they've been too busy working and figuring o ut the U.S. to miss England. But when Crawforth reveals that hi!-fllother has written him about the spring-like weather that arrived week..s ago back. home. there is a 1 hint of longing in his voice. Or maybe: j ust frustration with the fickle Buffalo climate ... But as soon as we get home,'"' says Pearson, .. we 're going to wish we were back here."

The- Buffalo Institute of Fetal Therapy ( BI FT). the first program of its type in New York State, is designed to meet the needs of th e pregnant woman and her abnormal fetus before. during and after birth. according to Philip L. Glick, M.D. He is co-di rect or of 81FT with Luther K. Robinson. M.D ., director of clinical ge netics at Children's and UB assistant professor of pedi atrics, and Amol S. Lelc, M .

"The fetu s is now a patient as the result of state:of-thc-art diagnostic and treatment methods:· said Glick, UB assistant professo r of surge ry and pediatric surgeon at Children's. Fetal therapy experts in recent years have demonstrated an ability to treat a fc iUS surgically and medically while it is ~ t i llm the womb. measures th at the Buffalo program will consider in appropriate cases. Glick stressed. however. that "in uaost ci rcumstance s. a fetus identified as havmg a co ngenital birth defect requires no In-utero therapy at all . "The prenatal recog mtion o_f the fetus' problem enables our ream 10 plan the time , mode, and place of delivery," he added. "Thi\ enables the ap propriate specialists and resou rces to be available at the delivery and optimizes postnata l management." T h e Buffalo Insti tut e of Fetal Therapy is a local and regio nal referral program. It is modeled on a handful of similar programs across the country, including the pio neering effort of Michael R . Harrison, M.D., at the University of California at San Francisco. where Glick did ~is general residency in !urgery and a fellowship in fetal su rge ry. The Buffalo program was founded in conjunction with the Dtpartments of Pediatrics, Gynecology / Obstetrics, Radiology, and Surgery at UB and Children's. Its work, Glick noted, is facilitated by th e fact that Children's Hosp ital of Buffalo is the only free-standing children's hospital in the continental U.S. with an in-house maternity division . ~ J .E. "Ted "Stibbards, Ph .D ., president of Children's, noted: " It's certainly a pleasure to see the Children's Hospital of Buffalo and the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences work as a team toward this new cutting-<:dge program in fetal therap y. "The multi-d isci plinary approach of the Buffalo In stitute of Fetal Therapy," he added , "enables physicians and fami lies to come to .rilmon understanding of the many problems that may arise in a fetus developing in utero." John P . Naughton, M .D ., UB vice president for clinical affairs and dean bf the School of Medicine and Biomed ical Sciences. said the new program .. reprc- sent s an important clinical addition to the Perinatal Center that has existed at Child ren's Hos pital for the past three years."

"the natural history of untreated ,.etuscs with a variety of conge nital birth defects has been documented and criccria for trealing those fetuses who will G benefit from in·utero intervention ha\ e been established .

C French AIDS researcher champions basic research c should put our research effor t s first on basic research, .. said Luc M ontag nie r, M.D., the noted French A IDS researcher, .. because we still don't know m any things a bou t the vi rus and how it causes disease. It 's very difficult tO design new treatments a nd also to design a . vaoci ne " without th is k nowledge. M ontagnier, a profess or at the Pasteur Institute in Paris who identified the H IV virus associated with AIDS, spoke April 12 a t th e 19th annual Ernest Witebsky Memorial Lecture in Bu tle r Auditori um . The lecture is sponso red by the Ernest Witebsk y Cen ter fo r Imm un ology and the Depanment of Microbiology. Accordi ng to Montagnier, A IDS is not ca used, but o nly triggered, by HIV (t he human immunodeficiency vi rus). He contends that it causes a utoimmunity, in which the body becomes immune to itself. The virus hides fro m the immune system by mi micking the configuration of a human cellular structure so that the immune system can't discriminate between itself and the virus. HIV alone , in sufficien t amounts, is enough to induce the disease in susce ptible humans, Mon tagnier says. However, when the virus dose is low , and thi s is probabl y the case in sex ual contact. th en so me co-factors may play a ro le. It 's imponant to understand the basic workings of the virus, but .. at the same time , of course, we have to deal with the disease in pa tie nts and we should try anything that works, even in an empirical way," Montagnier said, referring to treatments that sec:m to work but haven\ yet undergone thorough stud y. In all parts of the world the treatmenh are the sa me, he said , and the best we 've gol is an antiviral drug called AZT (azido thymidine). While it m ay be beneficial to a pa tie nt for months or even years, it ·s not a cure. Ma ny other co mpo un ds are un der Ph ase I tri als, Montagnier added .

" If indeed the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and not in the mixing, the cook ing, or the look ing, then I think the design of our Buffalo Place transit m all area has been an unqu ali fied success.

If the trend continues - and 9 · we have every right to think it will -this FUNdrive will be the most successful in .the station. This FUNdrive was a lot of fun. We had a great time bringing back some of the station's former employees. It reaffirmed our faith in the tradition WBFO has built over the y!ars. Hearing Bill Seimering, Marcia AJvar, Terri Gross, and others talk about how they developed the an of public radio at WBFO inspired us. We hope you were inspired as well. We also had a great time hearing IJ1e 1959 "year in review" pitches from the folks at NPR These spots reminded us of how much has happened in the last 30 years and how much WBFO has been involved in during that period. And, in a way, these 1959 "year in review" spots - and the FUNdrive as a whole - served to remind us that WBFO is involved in the making and recording of history. This is an enormously important task. So if there is one lesson to be learned from this fundraiser, it is this: Serving the community with outstanding informational and musical programming is an important undertaking, and a joyous one as well. Your conoibutions to this fundraiser are pan and parcel of that joy; a semi-annual ritual which reminds us there are people who are as committed to hearing outstanding radio programming as we are to producing it So thank you, once again, for making this 30th Anniversary FUNdrive even more special. We'll have all of the details on this FUNdrive in next month's edition of the the Program Guide: how much we raised, how many people became members for the first time, etc. But, until then, we'll keep reminding you of how much we appreciate your suppon by working as hard as we can to make WBFO serve you bener.

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

The board'') policies were recently revised by the provost's office. in consu ltat ion with t he Facu lt y Sena te. the presiden t. a nd the PRB chair. These revised po lic ies appear in the new Facul1y and Professional SIU/1 Handbook. In its o rganization . the PRB is si milar to promotion and tenure review committees at peer schoo ls . M as ling is a non -voting member and is appoin ted to the PRB at the ple as ure of the president. This is his third a nd last yea r on th e board : he will step down in Jun e:.

Says Masling: "They arc all d is tinguished in the ir own caree rs. vis ib le professio nall y, and a rc active in their own Joseph Masling have voted. .. We recommend to the provost. The provost has the right or privilege of ove rruling us, and he has done that in each direction recommending yes when we say no. recommending no when we say yes ." This is fai rly infreq uent, Masltng states. but "i t does happen ." In 1986-87. for instance , the PRB recommended negatively 14 times. or these 14 . the provost twice reve rsed the PRB in cases from the academic co re. In the health sc ie nces. th e PRB was reve rsed three times. The PRB, Masling noted. is concerned exclusively with merit. " We are not conce rned wi th marketplace, with rep laceability, or those kinds of issues. " We never concern ourse lves " 'ith such ramifications. But the provost is co nce rn ed with the se. In addi tion to all tbe issues we ra ise merit and all the rest the provost sees the larger picture. but we deliberately a rc concerned o nly with merit." • See PRB , Pag e 2 �Aprtl13, 1989 Volume 20, No. 25 r .

No lo nger is it good enough to be the promising yo ung man or young woman, it has to be promise fulfilled , national recognition, at least, and demonstrated productivity. Full professor is the highest academic rank higher than dean. One should not award that title to o ne who does noi deserve it. ..

Sometimes a vote is delayed because th e dossier has been "inappropriately prepared ... Says Masling: "There are frequently questions about the dossie r that we need to have a nswers to .

EDITOR: Your article, ~Making the Grade,"' which appeared in the April 6 issue of the Rtporll'r, provided an accurate report on the statement of admissions C:xpectations that was approved by the General Assembly of the Undergraduate College on March 16. The article failed, however, to explain the . status of this recommended statement. The article seems to imply that the statement is now Universit y policy. In fact. the statement is si mply a reco mmendat ion that the Undergrad uate College has drafted and approved for forwarding to the University community for consideration . Since the General Assembly action. the statement has been ci rculated to vic!! provosts and deans for com ment. The next step wi ll be to forwa rd the propos al to the f- ac ult y Senate. If the Senate approves the: sta tement, then it will be considered by the provost and the president . On ly after approval at all these levels will th e sta teme nt become University policy. The: procedun: j ust descri bed is standard proced ure. The U nderg raduate Co llege: cannot makt> Umvc:rsity pol icy. It can only n•commend policy .

Yale: ( 1986} re ports that they had reason to bc:lieve the Mari ne Corps did not comply with the: sexual orie ntation po rt ion of Yale 's a nti discrimination policy , a nd as a result thr Mari ne Corps did not recruit (and neither did at least one other. unspecified , organization).

No net he less, there a rc so me legal ambiguities fo r lack o f a clear and d efin itive judicial rulina.

In support of this action they can pomt to the Proposed Rules , stated in the Fe~c:ral Register ( 1982). which can be: qu01ed wtth economy of speech as follows: " Fund s appropriated to the militaf)' may no t be used at un iversities if military recrUitiRg personnel is barred fro m thei r prc:m ises." S tat e University Counsc:l ( 1987) also warns the: Law School.

CARBERRY Umvers1ty Student �d April 13, 1989 Volume 20, No. 25 ; Staff internship program offers chance to gain new skills By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporter Srall U 8 professional staff can gain new knowledge and skills in a Universi ty depart ment other than their own by panicipating in the Professional Staff Intern Productivi ty Program. The program is administered by the Human Reso urces Development Section of the Personnel Department. Academic Advisor Shelle y Frederick roo.k advantage of the program last s pn ng. Frederick had ~en working in advising fo r ten years when. s he said, "one of those memos th at passes over your desk caug ht my eye ... The memo was a bout the staff inRrnship program. Frederick, who " had been looking for so meth ing differen t to do:· was read y to pursue the o pponunit y. ""The first th ing I asked myself after I lea rned about the program , ... said FrederIck . " was what wou ld I like to Jearn abou t the Unive rsi ty? I also asked myself where I wou ld feel co mfonable." redcrick decided t hat th e office s he F would like to know more a bo ut was and S pecial Events. which is Con ferenc e~ part of University Relations . .. It was a new o peratio n and I th ought it so und ed in teresting. Also. I had met Ju dy Zuckerman (the director of Conferences and Special Events) before." 1 Fi rst Frede rick s poke to her boss in advisi ng. " I knew the internship wo uld take time o ut of my everyday work . I asked my boss (Doro thy Wynne) how s he would feel about this ... Wynne. said Frederick . was .. suppo ni ve ." The next step was to find o ut how Z ucker man would feel abo ut Frederick doi ng an intern sh ip in her offi ce. Frederic k se t up a meeting wi th Zuckerman who turned o ut to be .. q uit e recep tive ... Havi ng establis hed th at both sides were agreea ble to th e ideh of her interns hip, F rederick set up an appo intment wit h Ro nald H. Stein and Marilou Jarvis. vice president and associa te vice president , respecti vely. of Universit y Rel ati o ns. to di sc uss what her project would be. Said Frederick: - w e decided th at it wou ld be a project wi th a beginning a nd an end . A lso. it would not be go pher work . but rather someth ing meaningful to me a nd useful to the Uni versity."' One of her achievements was to set up a luncheon with the representative oft he U. S . O lymp ic Commillee , Sheila Walker. This lun c"eon. according to Frederick, was a ttended by membe rs of the Co unt y Legislature, represe ntat ives of Co unty Executive Dennis Gorski a nd Mayor J a mes Griffi n, and various other influential members of the co m~unit y. After .Junch , at a meeting held a1 UB, Wal ker di scussed "what amateui athletics was , what hosting an amateu r athletic event would req uire fro m th e comm unity in terms of dollars a nd cents. and how a co mmun ity would go a bout preparing to hos t such an eve nt ," said F rederi ck . The d ay with Walker .. educa ted us in the bidding procedure for hosting such a n even t a nd gave us a game plan." said Frederick. hen the Wo rl d Uni vers it y Games Co mm itte e bega n looking for a host fo r the 1993 games. Buffalo put in a successful bid . Having won the bid for the U.S. site, Buffalo will now be co mpeting against cit ies from a rou nd the world to host the games. W he project they ca me up wi th was " t6 fi nd info rmat io n a bou t ama teur athletics." said Frederick. Mo re specifica ll y. she ex plained. her job was "to look at co mmuni ~ and University facilities in relation to a large, multi-event game such as the Olympics and Pan-American Games - a nd ask how cou ld we best shoot for such an event in Buffa lo." Said Frederick : " It was very exciting to be at the beginning of all th is. especiall y now that it's almost a re ali ty." In general. Frederick said , her work consisted of fact-finding and informati ongat heri ~g. She gathered her informat ion '' th ere's no t much literature about the Frederick spe nt about two half-days a week on her in ter nship. " I wo uldn 't have bee n able to do it," s he said, "if my colleag ues hadn' picked up so me of the T work and if my s tudent~ hadn't been understanding... · II a lso helped thai the sc hed ule of her interns hip was fle xi ble. "There were times in the semester when I had a high demand in advisi ng. During these times I wouldn't go (to the other office) for a whole week ." Frederick called the staff internship program "a great opponunity for anyone looking fo r a cha nce to try so methin g new and different. With o ut the program yo u wouldn' be ab le 10 try ano ther job without giving up the one you have.·· In additio n to provid ing a refreshing change or scene, the internship program also gives the participan t insight int o ''the problem-solvi ng process" in o ther dcpanments and broadens his o r her view of UB, said Frede rick . " We si t here in ou r own little microcosms not knowing what's goi ng o n In any other department. My inlerns hip enabled me to see the University from a greate r perspective." Frederick co ncluded. cco rd ing Professiona l Staff A Senate Chai r Ruth Bryant . the Intern Productivity Program has been 10 arou nd for ..seve ral years. " In itia lly. she said , the employe< chose from a list of intern ship o pponu nities provided by the program. Three years ago, said Bryan t, it was dec ided that internships would be set up through ari agreement between the host office a nd the employee's home office. rather th a n by the program itself. The procedure, said, Bryant, is for the employee "to wri te a proposal which he gives to his supe rvisor. If the supervisor agrees. then he goes forward (to the office he wa nts to work in) ... Bryant , like Frederick. considers t he program to be .. a great o pportunity."' Unfortu nately, she said ... o nly three people have taken advantage of it since it was revamped three years ago. "U nit heads are reluctant to give up sta ff because they are afraid of the ·perception' it will crea te, " said Bryant. .. As the budget grows tigh ter. they ask them-selves wha t it says to peo ple if t e'f can do without staff one daY. a wcek. Wh at does this say to th e dean and to the prOV'lSl?" Ye t th e purpose of the prog ram is fo r the Universi ty employee to gai n skills a nd knowledge to benefit his or her home office, she noted. For instance. said Bryant , ..so meone in the de an's office might want to do an internship in the budget office. Here they would gain insight into how the bud ge t for th e~ r own office in terfaces with everything else ... Some unit head s also perceive the prog ram as an avenue for a n employee to lea ve his or her present job. This. h ow~ ever. is not the intention o f the program , emphasized Bryant. "The poi nt is for the employce .to come back with new knowledge and new insights and to see how these can be implemented in the job he already has."

Should You Participate In Weitht Or Resistance . Traiwing? LJ Yes u .. Resistan ce training. often referred to as weight or st rength training, has a definite place in a heahh·related fjtness program, according to Dr. Baker. Along with the natural development of fat deposits, the aging process also resuhs in the loss of muscle tissue. "Si nce p'roper exe rcise can impede this ti ss ue loss," Baker says, "resistance training is incl uded in the adlill. program." Baker believes it is important to differential~ between at hletic and health motivations when developing this pha.se of the program. The health-related resistance program does not employ heavy resistance ... Loads that can be comfortably lifted ten to 15 times are sufficie nt to impact upon the muscle mass si tu ation." Baker says circuit weight training is the procedure most often recommended . ..The individual performs one set of IS repetitions at each of eight to ten exercise stations. It is safest to use resistance machines rather than barbells in a program promoting heahh-relau:d goals.·· Sheuld You wa• For Fitness? LJ Yes i:J io " Recently," Baker says.

Fitness walking requires a certain dedication to fo rm and effort. Casual "strollin g through the mall " most likel y will no t produce the fitness effects you des ire. According to Baker.

The .research was funded as pa n of a S450,000 grant from the National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN).

""Kids a rc not as inaccu rate as we thtnk the y a rc if they are ta lki ng abou t so mething imponant to them." added Gail Goodman . In th e study. 15 children. ages 7 and 10, came to a lab and played games with a graduate stuocnt for about 20 minutes . They were in ten•1ewcd about the play session nearly four ye~ rs lateF. Defense attorne ys routmel y clatm that chi ldren's re ports of sexual abuse a rc false and that children arc led to make those statements by pa rents or by the way they arc in te rviewed by authorities. To add ress these c ritici sm~. the children 1n t he st udy . who had not been abu sed. were interviewed as if the y were part of a child abuse inves tiga t ion . The questioner suggested that actions relat ing to sexual abuse had occu rred durin o the play ses· sio n. Goodman said . The in te rvicf.cr asked the children such th irigs as " He kissed you. didn't he?" " H ow many times d id he hit yo u?" Or. ""Did yo u take you r clothes off'" If asked in coun or as part of an investigati o n. these questions would be seen as leading the child. she added . But , ··We fi nd the kids are just rema rkab ly resistant to th ose kind s or questions: they look at us like we're crazy." she said. While th< children could be led to make pe riphera l admissio ns. suc h as the co lo r of c urt aim in the playroom. the y wo u ld, not say they had been abused.

T hey ha ve more freedom to do what they wan t ( In th e re la ti onsh ip)," said Couarelli . T he more co mmitted partner was defined as having low I EIP. Cozza relli and Bylsma fo und that high E l P ind ividuals were more likely to have high se lf--estee m and a stro ng desire fo r control and to be secure in their ro mantic relationships. Those with low El P were more likely to have lo w self--esteem, less of a desi re for co ntrol and to be anxious , ambivalent , or jealous in their rel ationships. The study is imponant. Cozzan:lli noted, because it is pan of a larger model that examines .the consequences of imbalanced relationships.

One might think this would cause some embarrassment among miniature golf proprietors, .,ike two women wearing the same Dior gown to the same affair, .. said Margolies. Fortunately, he added, "then: an: very few people, other than myself, who tour the country looking at miniature golf courses ... I n addition to these pre- fa bricated structures, one can also find many original designs in miniature golf cou rses, according to Margoli.es. Showing slides of a giant, elaborately hood ed cobra by Dale Hudson and a blue whale with big, pouting n:d lips by T.J . Niel, Margolies said: "I lhink these an: really splendid creations.·· In addition to the animals, Margolies showed Slides of various castles - ranging from Old English fonresses to Arabian palaces in style along with windmills. Victorian houses (complete wit h porticos), statues of the Buddha, the Sphi nx and the heads al Easte r Island, a nd even count ry ch urc hes. " In miniature golf," Margolies noted, nothing is sacred ... All the great icons arc pressed into the service of artificiality." ' He also noted, showing slides of two ve£¥. simila r enchanted forests . that a lot of ··stealing" of ideas goes on in the creation of miniature golf courses. According to Ma·rgolies. "steali ng other people·s ideas is perfectly fine." In fact . he said (taking lhe opportunity to give the archit ecrnre students in the audience a bit of postmodern counsel), "my advice to all of you is 10 borrow liberally. Don~ try to be origi nal. Somebody already thought of the idea ages ago." Margolies concl uded the lectu re with a slide of a thatched hut at the exit of a jungle theme co urse and this "puzzling tho ught." "Where's the jungle?" Margolies asked. " Is it inside these gates - with controlled mountains, cement giraffes, lovely re-drculating waterfalls, an.d miniature golf holes th at look hard but ' aren't? Or is it out there, in tnt real world? "I think it's a jungle out there, folks."

By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Publications Staff W ill we have enough doctors in the future? That's a hard question to answer since no one has yet decided how many doctors we need, according to George F. Sheldon, professor a nd chairman of the Department of Surgery at the University of Nonh Carolina at Chapel Hill. And the kinds of doctors we11 need in the future change with every scientific breakthrough. Sheldon discussed "Health Manpower the Future Challenge" March 23 at the induction ce remony of the UB chapter of Alpha Omega Alpha: the national medical honor socie ty. He is a regent of the American College of Surgeons and chai rman ~ lect of the American Board of Surgery. "Nobody has ever decided how many doctors we need ," said Sheldon, a trauma surgeon. "There's no question we've got more than we did 25 years ago , but we didn't have enough then." There was a time when medical schools were turning out large numbers of doctors. Back at the turn of the century, standard s were so low that anybody who could pay the tuition could enter medical school. Then the Flexncr Rcpon , which urged reform in medical education, was published in 1910. Standard~ were raised. closing down so me schools and causing a shonage of doctors. Between 1920 and 1950. there were fewer th an 120 physi· cians for every 100.000 Americans. Sheldon said. Now there are 200 physicians per 100,000 Americans, but that 's only a few more than we had at the turn of the century , S held on pointed out. If we assume that we have enough doctors today, we're preny good at predicting the numbers we need, Sheldon said . But we don't fare as well in predicting • what specialties will be in demand. Sheldon described a 1978 study by the Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee, which was an extensive and expensive project that projeCted the kind s of doctors the country will need by 1990. he study was right on target in predicting the number of physlcians the country would have - about half a million , he noted . "But it was off by a mile on all the specialties." Sheldon said, because medicine is changing so rapidly. Back in 1978, no one predicted the importance that organ transplantation would have today because cyclosporine. the drug that greatly improved the success of transplantation, wasn't around yet, he said. And no one had heard of AIDS. AIDS is a problem ioday, but we have to keep it in perspective, Sheldon cautioned . More people die on the nation 's highways each year than have died from AIDS since it was identified . In the future, Sheldon noted, the aging population in this country will create T new demand s for cenain types of physicians. And there may be a greater demand for spans physicians. He also outlined other trends : • Before the 1970s, health care was a ••cottage indu stry." Doctors opera ted fee-for-service solo practices. This was coupled with voluntary hospitals. Now, the trend is toward group practices, Sheldon explained, and bospi· tals have become very fragile economic entities. During Tex.as' recent oil problems, for instance, hospitals closed because they were very dependent on the overall economy of the area. • Most doctors work 60 to 70 hours a week, though females tend to work fewer hours , he said. The number of women in the medical profession 'is increasing, which could mean that th e total number of hours worked by ph ysicia ns will decrease. " But I think th at women have kept the quality of health care up," Sheldon said. "As the number of applicants (to medical schools) dipped down, if we didn' have the interest of the women, quality would have gone down ... • The retirement age of physicians. driven by high malpractice ins ur ance rates, has dipped below 60 years old . • Medical Schojll enrollment has plateaued . No riew sdiools are being built . n imponant aspect of the ~edical manpower questi on is how much society is willing to spend for health care. The U.S now spends 12 per cent of its gross nationll product on health care. while Britain spends only six per ce nt , Sheldon noted . But he pointed out that 86 per ce nt of what Britain spends comes from the government , while less than half of what the U.S. spends co me s from the government. And i'n Britain , patients wait 28 Books • NEW ANO IMPORT ANT AMERICA'S GILDED AGE- Intimate Portraits From an ~ra ol E.rravagance and Change 1850·1890 b)· M1hon Ruaoff (Henry.

These are choices we make in society," Sheldon said'. "Health ca re is not going to get less expensive as technology increases. We have to decide how we11 spend our money.· Quoting Rashi Fein, a Harvard economist, Sheldon commented: .. If we become comfonable with a culture that tells us that health care is analogous to selling shoes, and that the level of health spending a nd major ,allocation decisions are to be determined by market forces. rather than by a political or social consensus, we will be comfonablc with rationing."

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

T hough Rzcwski's ·deeply political pteces were wntten more than a deci!de ago. social consciousness still infuses his work. For instance, " Mayn Yin Gclc" ( 1989), to be performed .here, is set to a Yiddish workers' so ng from the period of the sweatshops. Also. Rzewski is now -wo rking on a piece for the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players that 'will malcc usc of"Bread and Roses," another traditional labor song. Rz.ewski continues to turn his attentions outward, and is now reading a lot of feminist literature. He is particularly interested in what the French call ecriture feminine, that is, a peculiarly feminine, though not n=sarily exclusively female, approach to the act of writing. He explains: "Tben:'s hypothetically a characteristically female approach to the ut th is apparent hodgepot11.:~ ,, nut the detriment of modn n mu~K in Rzewski 's view.

But if he do<s so: it is with the kind of musicall iberucs common place in the l ~th century but anathema to 20th century purists. " If I feel that I can do something ong· ina l with an old piece of the claS)IC"al rcpen oirc , 111 do so. This. too. belongs to thC classical tradition. Virtuosos of the 19th ce ntury changed the music. they adapted it to suit their own c.:n:allH tastes. The idea of a note-perfect. au thentic rendition of some o ld da~~~c was a lien to them. " So Rzews~i m1ght insert an improvised cadenza in a p1Cl'"t by Schubert , for instance. Rzewski writes for mostly ~mall ensembles that arc, after all , most h~dy to commission and perfo( m his mu~1c. Orchestras tend, on the whole. to be rather conservative in this regard. he points out. Rzewski allows that "the structures fo r presenting this kind of work a rc j)Crhaps more developed in Europe th an th ey ar< here. There are certain institut ions that are conducive to the d issemination of this kind of music, notably the state· radio network ... .These-are imponant sources of subsidies. "But a gieat deal could be done her< that is not easy to do because of the nature of (American) culture - the "·ay the traditions are designed here. The audience here is potentially very large and could be dcV!oloped." The problem, says Rzcwski, is that " there are millions of people ou~ there , whose access to serious- music is llmttc:d. , because or the nature of the media in this country, whiclt arc mild! more under comaicn:ial pressure '~!Wan they arc '" Eu·rope. · -· 0 B "The people I feel close to came out in the mid-'60s.

" If there is such a thing as the female imagination; it would not necessarily have to be exclusively the work of women. There's no reason why male writers should not bave access to this phenomenon as well. After all, we're all pan male and part female. "So this is the kind of thing I'm concerned with. I'm trying, in a more or less systematic way, to explore such ideas in my own work. For instance, I've tried to find cenain techniques for a kind of spontaneous or uninhibited writing. There~ really nothing particularly new about this kind of thing. You find it io Stravinsky or sum:alist pOetry." Though Rzc ws ki is busy as a compose r. he .. would go nuts .. if his musical life " were limited to writing scores and waiting for o ther people to play them.

Helium-three h as two protons and one neutron in its nucleus. The water used in Pons' and Aeischmann 's apparatus is heavy water, which has a greater Concentration of deuterium than r,egular water. Water is two pans hydrogen to one pan oxygen; heavy water has more deuterium hydrogen than regular water. 0 ne large advan tage of fusion is that it is much safer than fission. There is less radioactive waste from fusion and the waste mate rial is lowlevel. with a shorter half-life than the waste material from fission reactions. It is unlikely that Three Mile Island could happen in the Pons ~ Aeischmann ap paratu s, sa id Robert Good , UB professor of chemi cal engineering. Pons and Fleischmann did have one extreme reaction, where the temperature got up to 5,000 degrees and, according to the Wall Street Journal, burned a four-inch deep crater in their floor. "'I'm not surprised that they had a runaway (reaction). I would have been surprised if th ey had not had a runaway,.. said Good. The melting temperat ure of th e palladium , Good explained, would prevent a more energetic - and potentialiy se rious reaction . ..

Janet Osteryoung, UB professor of chemistry, points to the New York Times anicle in March 28's science section to back. up Fleischmann's and Pons' fusion claims.

Because of that, very little concrete information has been given to other researchers. All of the known facts come from the lay press.

"Bu t th e trouble is. we don't know what to think . when we're reduced to pick.ing up crumbs of information from the popular press, rather than having a formal paper to eva luate."

Fleischmann and Pons have reportedly submitted a paper about their experiment to the British magazine, Natuu.

"The award we were given by th e New York State Institute on Superconductivity was to develop the methodology of characterization. composition, and microstructure: the grain size morphology (shape) of the film."

Gardella added that .. the materials arc: so· new that it's a challenge ·finding out what it is yo u've made ... The Wonders of Thin Filn1s David Shaw. who is also execut ive director of the institute. has worked in the past with Hoi Sing K wok of Electrical Engineering. who pioneered a method of making trun film superconductors. K wol's method uses excited oxygen gas, called an oxygen plasma; a rod of the 1,2,3 supcrconducting material (so called because there is one yttrium atom per two barium atoms per three copper atoms); a substrate, onto which the thin superco nducting film is deposited , and a laser. The laser is focused onto the 1,2,3 rod , causing it to evaporate into the plasma. While in the plasma. the 1.2.3 materiaJ is oxidized. That is, it combines with oxygen to form the superconducting material. The material clings to the substrate, forming a thin film. After a short annealing process, in which the film and substrate are baked at 450 degrees C, the film supercooducts. -n.at process is called the plasmaassisted laser deposition process," Shaw said. "Basically what we try to do is produa: a supen:ooducting fWD, thin film or thick, by usin3 a laser ablation tecbnique uoder a direet current oxygen plasma," Shaw "lid· Other resean:ben have also created tbin films. But they oced to anneal the Jilm at 800 C in order to allow oxygen to get into the lattice. Annealing at 800 C, however, causes so me substrates to diffuse into the film . The im pure film will then be unable to supercondu ct. One of these substrates is s1licon . That\ important.

"Everybody else is using laser ablati on techniques but the material always comes ou t as oxyge n deficient which is wh y you need to bake the material at high temperatu res to put eno ugh oxygen in ... Shaw said . 'B ut any time you bake the material at that temperature, yo u tend to introduce impurities from the substrate by in terdiffusion into the film . .. Ours has the lowest temperature so far , 450 C. That is within the thres hold temperature for silicon and other semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide." Shaw's future research will try to improve the process. G. Brink , in Ph ysics. is also looking_ _ at the plasma deposition technique. The plasma has many s peci~ of oxyge n present - atomic oxygen . - -- - . - (one oxygen atom). molecular oxygen (two atoms bound together!. ozone (three oxygen atoms), as well as diiTerent high energy ions of those three. But all of these may not be involved in assisting the deposition of the ftlm. Brink hopes that he can identify which species are invo lved and by doing that . be able to streamline the process. " Kwok and Shaw ha ve done so me ex periments in which th ey've been able to form a su pcrco nducting thin film on se veral su bst rates. They produce an electrical discharge in the oxygen and form a thin film . .. Once you introduce a plasma. particularly an oxyge n plas ma, there a re many different species present at the same time." Brink said .

To get over the stumbling block that the thin film must be annealed at a very high temperature (to put oxygen into the f~m) . we're doing the evaporation under a high pressure of oxygen. Hopefully, it will require annealing to a lesser degree so that eventually people can use this technique to generate the fiJm on a substrate like silicon ... Why They Do So Wei Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics Dean Thomas George, Physics Department Chair Bruce McCombe, and Physics Professor Bernard Weinstein, have combined effons in order to better formulate the .. .. .....,.,,, Chemical Engineering theory behind superconductors. From George's research team. two postdoctoral researchers are intimately involved in the work. They are Andrew Langner and Dcvaraj Sahu. According to Langner, the theorists in supe~onductivity ..who have achieved the highest level of success arc those who are coUaborating pretty intensivel y with experimental investigators. We figure that that is the best possible approach to tackling the problem." "One of the advantages," Sahu agreed, "is that when they get data, we get the first chance to see the data and look at it immediately... Langner said that it's also helpful to the experimentalists. "When they get data we can tell them right away if it fits into our model. if it makes sense. We can give them somC direction as to what experiments to perform. Science is always a bit easier if you can limit the oumber of possibilities you investigate ... Langner said the superconductors seem to be layers of mat~rial, like pieces of tissue paper laid on top of each other. Apparently. the superco nductio n occ urs along the sheets but not between them. "We work with a hypot hetical model that could be applied to a ny of the layered superconductors. All of these high temperature materials arc laye red structures ... Langner said . .. What Bernie and Bruce are capa ble of is making layered sandwiches with different laye r thicknesses. The spacing between the layers can be con trolled by pressure, .. l;angner ex plained ... O ur task is to understand the mecha nisms that couple the layers and cause the variability in the transition temperature and other propenies of the superconductors ... Bruce McCombe is trying to use radi ation to meas ure some of the pro penies of the supc rconducting films . "We are doing infrared ( IR ) and fa rinfrared (FIR) spectroscopy of thin fi lm materials. We are tryi ng to do transmission meas urements a nd absorption measurements. The t 1cal approach is to just do renectivit y." McCombe is looking at which wavelengths of the IR and FIR arc transmitted (as through a window) and absorbed (li ke a ca r seat) as well as renectcd (like a mirror), by the superconducting material. \ Each wavelength of the radiation has a .characteristic energy so McCombc is looki ng at how much energy the superconductors are absorbing. McCombc is interested in knowing the basic properties of superconductors. By knowing which wave lengths are absorbed and which just pass through the superconductors, he can determine the different energy states of the materials. This, in tum, may eventually lead to a better understanding of why these materials superconduct. Weinstein's expertise lies in applying large'"p' rcssure to various substances and then observing tbcir properties. His role in the team is to examine the • See nut p-oe �April 6, 1919 Volume 20, No. 24 SUPERCONDUCT VTY making scientific dreams come true?

Michael Naughton. in Physics. thinks that the sheets of superconducting materials a re what is most importan t to the properties of the substances. He commented : "The superconductors· are layered. qu asi-tw odimensional materials. The electrons that superconduct are predominantly on the sheets and they don' travel perpendicularly (from one sheet to the next), they are confined to two dimensions (on the sheets). The more they approach two dimensions, the h.igber the critical temperature: as the sheets become less coupled, the critical temperature increases . "What is the real correlation between dimensionality and critical temperature? That's what my proposal is looking at." Exciting llew Applications The goal of the thin fdm techniques is to marry semiconductOrs and superconducto rs to help increase the efficiency and power of co mputers. Another area in which UB researchers arc trying to adapt supercondu ctors · data transmissions. Pao Lo-Liu, in Electrical and Computer Engincerlng, is planning to usc superconducto rs to help increase the speed and efficiency of photonic devices. Photonic devices include such things as optical fibers . These strands transmit information in pulses of light, unlike traditional wires. which usc electricity to act as the information carrier. "Optical fibers carry information in the form of a stream of on and off bits." Li u said. "You can encode the information by using a photonic modulator to tum on and off the ~ght beam. "Or suppose ynu have a burR!Ie of fibers and you want to switch among them: You need a pbotonic switch network." Liu said the superconducting materials will increase the speed of the pbotonic switches. As a result, be will try to lay superconducting material on top of indium phosphate. "That material is widely lls.ed in photonic devices such as semiconductor lasers, semiconductor detectors, and semiconductor optical switches, .. Uu explained. " In this project, we will try to deposit high temperature s upcrconducto ~ on compound semico nductors and vice vena. ... Ralph Yang. of Chemical Engineering, is also interested in using superconductors to help carry data but without optical fibers . He is trying to grow supcrconducting strands. "Nobod y has succeeded in making filal]lents. If yo u could. yo u'd have it made because you could then make cables and wires. for elecu onic inst rumentation and power transmission." Yang had already been growing these filaments out of carbon. Now, he hopes to use the I .2.3 superconducting material to act as th e basis for growing th e fibers . .. We -stan with a metal panicle suppo rted on a substrate. The metal has to be catalyt ic, usually a transi tion metal. ''You stan with. say, iron. If you expose methane at 800 C. what happens is there is going to be a column of carbon formed and the metal particle is launched upwards ... Yang said . Yang's neo·, line of research will be to try to use a similar tech nique to create a 1.2.3 fiber. "We have to understand th~ ki netics of t he growt h and then · figure out the righ t ratio of vapors to grow a 1.2.3 alloy." Yang said this is a .. high nsk" procedure. " It 's risky beca use we still don~ know the mechanism ... There arc good odds that this method might not work . But if it doesn~. be has a nother prospect to try. Yang would try to form the filaments by starting .. with a carbon filament and the 1,2,3 (being) deposited around it. The carbon i.s a very stro ng core ... Yang said th is method is weU documented and is fairly sure it will work. ..The first one is more novel this one is pretty mundane. The first one is much more challenging, the second is a standard "way to make sc. mico nductor fibers."' UB's Advantage One of the fascinating links between the teams is that most of them are not seuing out on radically new paths of resea rch. Instead, they have taken their ongoing research and expanded it to include superconductivity. For instance. Gardella is co-director of the Surface Science Center, and it is a natural transition for h.im to apply the center's techniques to superconductors. Also. Brink's specialty is plasmas. He has taken his previous expertise and been able to apply it to suPerconductors. likewise with Yang, who has had a grant from the NSF to try to understand how the carbos,lihers grow. Since be is familiar with the filament growing method, be can apply it to superconductors. liu is another case in point. He has been working with pbotonic devices in his research specialty. To add superconductors to them in order to increase their efficiency is branching out. It is not embarking on an entirely new line of research. Thanks primarily to the diversity of the research ~ready being done here, U B has been able to enter the field of superconductivity research quite .,. easily. w �April 6, 1Q89 Volume 20, No. 24 Studying the homeless the children required "further o bservation .

Furthermore, on their way to school, the shelter children were often beaten up by neighborhood children. "On one par· licular day," said Eddins, "a boy wilh a congenital cardiac condition was severely beaten." Eddins, who was also teaching as an associale professor-in lhe School of Nursing atlhe University of the O islrict of Columbia, happe~ed to have some of her students with her down al the shelter at the time.

The numQer of moves a family had made ir, the past year from shelter to shelter ranged from -£our to 24, with a median number of 13, .. said Eddins. "Sometimes," she noted, .. children sleep in one sheller and then ge t up the next day to move to anoth er shelter because they don't have enough roo m to house (lhe families) for a ny lenglh of time." T T o assess the psychological da mage of the shelter lifestyle on the children of homeless famili es, a number of psychological tests were administered to them by Berkley Eddins and lhe Eddins' son, William.

Existing educational materials in state-of-the-an technologies for numerical control and computer numerical control used on college campuses are at least 15 yean old and need to be revised ." says Ben Wang, Ph.D., assiSiant professor of industrial engineering. His work is being funded by a twoyear, 160,000 seed grant from the Westinghouse Educational Foundation. Numerical control, the basic mechanism for industrial ro\)otics technology , operates machinery through a series of coded instructions made up of numbers. alphabetic leuers, and other symbols. These an: translated into pulses of electrical current or othcr_output signals that activate moton and other devices. According to Wang, numerical control technical systems combine with robotics to greatly enhance industrial productivily. For instance, • machine tool operated by numerical control can fabricate machine puts while robotic A arms are used t o load and unload these parts. W ang believes updat ing of numerical co ntrol and computer numerical co ntrol teaching materials has not been given a high priority until now .. because industry put more emphasis on the integration of numerical control, robotics, and various other manufacturing technologies." Another factor for renewed interest is the introduction of po werful, yet ine x-pensive microcomputers to the classroom. "These are now ideally suiled to instruct modern numerical confrol j co mputer numerical control technologies," notes Wang, who is already using some .of the material be bas developed for such UB courses as computer inlegraled manufacturing. The U 8 professor's instructional materials will be in the form of three computer softw&R numerical control programs, a wer'l manual, instructor's guide and lab UW,UCiion. He llopes to complete this work by the end of tbiJ summer. • �April&, 1989 Volume 20, No. a ·. By JEFFREY TREBB Reponer S1atf fter a long absence.

While admitting that Sefick 's si tuation differed from Serra's in that his wo rk was not a permanent installation . Hoffman also said that in Sefick.

However, she contin ued , "in terms of how the First Amendment impacts on public art , I think it is important to look at the values underlying free speech.

By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reponer Staff nc of the core issues in the controversy over public art is the alicntation of the majority of socie ty from the vocabulary of the c<futcmporary public anist." said Barbara Hoffman , acting honorary counsel of the College An Association of America, in a Sunday lecture at the Albright·t:.nox a rt gallery. Hoffman's lecture on public art and frccd.om of speech was sponsored by th e Albright-Knox , the Law Schdo l, and 1hc Depa rtment of Art Hi story. Before the modern period . arti St s "had a role in focusing. int erpretin g, a nd reinforcing social values.·· and thu~ created work s within .. th e narr o w confines of (their c ulture's) ico no · graphia ," said Hoffm an. wh o practices law 1n New Yo rk City. Twentieth century an. however, largely did away with such " iconographia" or conventional imagery. gi ving way to the .. private world of abst raction . .. accord ing to Hoffman . The loss of an accessible aesthetic vocabular y ha s become es pecially problematic in the case of what is called "publ ic an ," she said . In fact, in Hoffman's view, the very term ''public an .. has ~orne something of an oxymo ron in the 20th century. .. In this term ... she said , "two words are linked whose meanings are in some ways antithetical. Art, at least in the 20th cent ury, has often meant a personal. individual inquiry - it is the epitome of self-assertion. This is joined with the co ncept of public which refers to the col· lective, the social order, self-negation ... The controversy inhen::nt in the term has materialized in several cases, said Hoffmari, into conflicts between artists and the state that has commissioned their works. At issue in all of these cases is the artist's freedom· to express an aesthetic idea (which in recent U.S . judicial history has fallen under the protection of the First Amendment). versus the public 's rights as patron and sponsor. A good and recent example of such a case. said Hoffman, was the court ba ttle of the artist Richard Serra to prevent his sculpture "Tilted Arc" fro m being removed from the Federal Plaza in New Y ~rk Cit y. The wo rk was ori_ginall y co mm issi oned by the General Services Administrati o n \ Art and Architecture Program in 198 1. Co mplet ed . lhe 12-foo t·high , wall-like metal structure stret ched 40 yard s across 1hc plaza. Neither the go vernment no r the: people an the surrounding office buildings were pl e a sed · with "Tilted Arc . " The government said that the sculpture was too big, that it destroyed movement on the plaza and made it impossible to hold concens there , according to Hoffman. The: government also claimed that ""Tilted Arc" posed a potential terrorist threat , providing a cover from which bombs could be thrown. Hoffman added . Serra's lawyers. however,.argued that rem o val o f tht sculpture would constitute a violation of Serra's First Amendment rights, Hoffman noted. His lawyers' claim, sht explained, hinged on the idea that an is a form of speech . And in fact , said Hoffman, .. the Supreme Court has held th at ideas need not necessarily be spoken or written to qualify for First Amendment protection. This idea has developed under the name of 's ym bolic speech' or ' symbolic expression.· " Ser ra 's lawyers' claim that First Amendment rights had been violated was dismissed , first by the distriCLcourt and later by the appeUate court.

According to the appellate coun , sa id Hoffman, "Serra relinquished his free speech rights when he voluntarily sold the sculpture to the G .S.A." In addition. the court told Serra that il he had wished "'to retaiQ some control over the duration of the display, he had had the opportunity to bargain for such control in making the contract for the sale of the work," said Hoffman. As a consequence of the court's decision, Hoffman noted, "if anybody negotiates a public art contract these days , they automatically include the 'Serra clause' which gives the government the right to unconditionally remove the work. unless you bargain for something to the contrary. ··so if you want to be permanently installed ," she added , .. you benc:r say it very clearly. and then (the government) won~ buy (the work) from you ..

T he las t phr as e of the court's reasoning was '"the mos t trouble· some." said Hoffman. According to Serra, s he explained , the work was "site specific"' a nd "through its locat io n. height . ho rizo ntalit y. and tilt . ground u ne into th e ph ysical co nd itio n or the place."

The court, however, seemed .. to find it difficull to accept the idea that the work would be destroyed by its removal from the si te," Hoffm an said. "This," she added , "is a conceptual problem." Furthermore, Hoffman continued , ...one canno t help thinking that however well reasoned, the court adopted subliminally the argument that only art which conveys an articulated verbal message of political or social commentary is entitled to the rigid scrutiny usually applied to government infringement or first Amendement rights." • See Art. page 15 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

The measure. which "':~;;:;:===~ will go to the Faculty rSenate following exten- "-"iii.o-..;..---lJ sivc consultation with departments and other units, would apply to all students majoring in Arts and Sciences faculties. other than the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (FNSM). The UGC JCCOmme 0 ded that the new program be put in place beginning with the freshman class of Fall 1990. ,Vice Provost for Undergrad uate Education John Thorpe said the UGC action "is just the beginning of a process. Over the next month or two. there will be a lot of consultation with affected depanments and many others. So there will be lots of opponunity for people to make suggestions that could lead to modification of the committee proposal.

" Junior-senior courses (six credits) will be directed at "the implications and interconnections of scientific thought," developing critical scientific reasoning, encouraging lifelong habits of enjoyment in following scientific discoveries, etc. For students covered by the requirement, the proposed new program would replace the general education knowledge area requirements in "Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Technology" and "Life aod ~====~ the Health Sciences." and L Math Skills Program.

It must be strongly emphasized at the outset . that we are proposing the developing of a process as much as a program for the University. The committee does not envision this specific program to be 1lre scie nce curriculum for non-science majors for the next ten or more years. "Rather. it sees the proposal as an important beginning. with course proposals thai have been worked out in conside rable detail by our faculty. with faculty prepared to teach these new · courses. and a subset of our faculty look· ing ·forward to getting started in the enterprise .. .. "The process itself is new. possibly even 'revolutionary' at our University,q but it is one which has received the enthusiastic support of the faculty and the admin istration. h is one we believe can ensure a dynamic, innovative. up-t odate and even at times exciting program for our students ... The program is .. not an educationaJ smorgasbord" and "will be managed and modified holistically as it develops over time. It will be breaking some new ground at our institution. ""For example, we propose that the program have an oversight committee composed of faculty both from the Faculty of Natural Sci· ences and Mathematics as well as faculty from Arts and Letters, Social and Behavioral Sciences, as well as other tUUS of the University, that will monitor and revise the program." Eva luation will be built into the program from the onseL This will assess "not only the scie9tific know!· edge of the students who complete the course of stud y. but also their auitudes towa.rd scient:t' and how likely they are to continue their interest and education in science after graduation ... Freshman-sophomore courses will be offered and primarily administered by individual FNSM departments. "The mathematical and physical scie nce courses may be taken either in seq uence or concurrently and are expected to be completed in the students• first two years. Both should be completed in three 1•••••• No. 23 years." the report states. Students. will normally be advised to take the mathematics component before attempting the physical science component. In the latter. students will take one · of the following two-semester sequences: basic biOlogy, descriptive astro nomy. college physics. evolution of the earth. and introductory chemistry. Students majoring in programs in the Engineering School or in FNSM will be exempt from the requirement. Also. recognizing that many students who are not Engineering or FNSM majors, do take a substantial program of math and lab science here, the committee has established a se1 of minimum requirements for exemption. Transfer students will be allowed to use transfer credits to satisfy the math and the one-year lab science course requirements. But they must take both the "Methods" and the "Discovery" courses. While financial suppon is essential. the program will need "political su pport" from the provost. deans, department chairs, and othe~. the report points out. "Faculty teachin g in the program must not be viewed as 'traitors' to their depanmcnts. They must be rewarded in the same way for th is work as they would if they were producing just for their own depanment... . 1 .. The reward of summer salaries and designation of special endowed chairs. along with other resource additions, will go a long way to convince this faculty that the University is se rious in ; ts proclaimed · desi re to have a first-class undergraduate program at this public research university ... .

Albino will be in her new office April I. Albino, whose most recent assignment has been interim dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, will provide "full-time dedicated leadership" for the Graduate School. "something we haven) been able to do for the last five years," during which time UB"s research profile has changed dramatically. said Provost William Greiner. Albino will report to Greiner, but will work closely with Vice Provost for Re search and Graduate Education Donald Rennie. as she will still be on assignment as associate provost. In commenting on the appointment, Greiner noted that ""we baven 't worked on the relationships between the Graduate School, and the schools, faculties, deans and departments. at all effectively over the last 10 to 15 years. "During this time. the University .has changed radically. It has moved on to a whole new level of activity. Graduate education is a distinguishing mission of the University, and the Graduate School should be a central part of both tbe governance structure and University administ ration ... to take a real hard look at the graduate research side." J G reiner said Rennie's "big focus for the next couple of yean will be organized research development, which is a burgeoning activity here: He will still have an advisory =d oversight role when it comes to all issues of graduate education. But the organized research is an issue that has been just eating us up A ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' time to devote to the organized research side, and (said) it was time to look at the Graduate School itself. For instance, we need better Graduate School recruitment and beller Graduate School services. ' Jud_y's job will be to work out effective. close relationships with each of the academic deans." He added: "All of our graduate activities &Je in a process now of evolution and development. Judy and Don together wiU provide major leadership for that development. We have undergraduate education and student affairs prelly well together now. Now it's time over tbe last couple of years. It's one of the most difficult areas, yet it is one of the most important to the University." According to Greiner, Rennie will have under him tbe graduate groups, plus several organized research centers. Over tbe next few montlu, Greiner said , Rennie . will work "especially closely" with the Center for Advanced Te<:bnology, "which is still in the developmental stage." Greiner credited Rennie with pushing for the realignment. "He needed more s a health psychologist with special interests in oral health and the psy· chosocial aspects of facial disfigurement.

What is no t up for debate is tbt: fatu o us notion that oUr athletes are in any wa y, s hape. o r fo rm . inadequa te or burdensome. Quite the opposite. th ey are 1n many cases a source of pride. It 1 ~ good to get that on the record . 0 On the shift of the Pub T here is a serious shonage of space on this campus. which is in the main due to our success in landing research grant s. Many of these grants are in the physical sc iences, where so--called wetlaboratory space is essential. This is expensive space. which is clearly misallocated when used by functions not requiring wet-lab space. The Geography Depanment currently occupies such wet-lab space in Fro nczak , without needing th ose facilities. ~ t least not to the extent present. Thus, when supercond uctivity and other grants which absolutely require wet-lab facilities were obtained, it stood to reason to suggest a domino move. moving the research activities into Fronczak. and the Geography Depanment elsewhere. It is this elsewhere which poses problems. For while the Geography Department does not need all the wet labs. they need space. preferably contiguous space. magnitude. l"vc heard 80K sq . ft. being bandied about. but it d oes not mean much to me. for I am not an architect and I co unt in the metric system. Whether in sq . meters o r sq. ft.. a lot of space is needed . The provost"s office identified such space in the form of Wilkeson Pub. This is a st udent hangout in Ellicott. a popular place even afitr it stopped serving liquor, for big screen viewing. music, dancing, and chicken wings , a fine place to rela.x . The provost"s office then moved . with acknowledged over.;ight of due consultation and coordination, and with great haste, to confiscate the Pub. so that Geography can be housed in a dry bar rather than a wet lab. The st udenLS, with their student government functioning smoothly and led by utterly responsible officials. are understandably miffed at (angry about . furious about) being o.ut of the loop. a which J share, for even the faculty was not in any wa y. form . o r the reverse can be readily defended . Our University h as an unfortunate reputatio n. not fully borne o ut by the fa c t ~ . but perceptio ns rule, of slighttn g student activities. us urping student space, and. when push co mes to shove. disregarding "stud ent life." as the quaint phrase has it. An ex tremely important question is · where the new Pub .is to be. when it will be there. what it will look like. The provost intimates that it will be better than the present one, but I am frankly skeptical on that score. For space remains a problem. I want to si ngle out, in co nclusion. the courageous and appropriate stance of Madison Boyce, our director of Student Housi ng, Residential Life. He advises against the move. and suppons the student protests. He has been instrumental in channeling these protesl.S in such a fine way. that even the se n~iment administration applauds the form these shape consulted. and first I heard about studen t protests have taken , for which the students themselves deserve the the malaise was- during a student protest gathering on Capen 5. held Monday. March 6. after th e news had broken ove r the preceding weekend . T he administration is apo logetic on thi s sco re, profess ing it to be an honest oversight. as opposed to a deliberate action to enable fast deci sion-making. The students are also angry about the action itse lf, usurping the ir prime s pace for an academac depanment and. iqdirectly. research. They arc the angrier. because substi tute space has not been identified, and will in all probability be smaller. less conve nientl y located. and in turn domin o-o ut some other function currently in the space to be identified. It is a structural problem. lack of space. but it is a Universit y problem. not a provostal problem alone. and I have never noticed that thi s administration is the worse off by cons ulting with studen ts and facult y on a timely basis, as partners in enterprise. The real blunders, statistics, law schoo l recruiti ng, result from disregarding facult y input. Having said all that, let me state that in principle I am sympathetic to the notions th at prompted these d evelopments. Wet space is too expensive to be un-used as such , a student Pub is not necessarily only useful in o ne precise spot rather than one nearby, and on balance academic enterprise takes precedence over student recreation: of 'Some subs tantial alth o ugh it is a quite close balance. and si nce 1983 show that our un ifo rmed a thletes, that is those who compete co mpetitively under the UB colo rs, have an over-80 per cent timely graduati on and / o r retention record . That is above. well above. very well above the acrossthe-board ave rage. During the 1986-87 academic year, the faculty voted. 52 to 6, to upgrade athletics. Your chair sided with the 6 and spo ke against the upgrad e repeatedly and forcefully. But he was highest accolades. It is good, to see a University official publicly taki ng a stance which cannot do his own career much good . lt requires courage. The students and Mr. Boyce can be praud of thei~ well- judged arguments and firm commi tment to have their side, albeit ' belatedly. heard forcefully . 0 Letters Is anyone in charge here?

SNYDERMAN Reponer Slatl M embers of rhe Srare Lc:gisla· lure feel rhere 's a good chance that there will be a State Untvcrsity tuition increase n e~t year. Thar facr was discovered by UB alumni, students. faculty. and stafr who ven t ured t o Albany March 14 to encour- age members of the State Legislature to fight the gove rn or's proposed budget cuts. In Governor Cuomo's fiscal 1989-1990 budget , th ere IS a S47 million cut from whar SUNY had requested . The lobbytsts' hope was that all. or as much as possi ble. of rhe S47 million would be rcslD red . The U B f_roup of abour 2b was joined by o rher a rea SUNY lobbyists for ··s NY Day" rounds in the Sta te's capttal. Most of the legislators the group met were sy mpathcttc to SUNY'~. a nd espeCiall y U B's. need s. f- or mstance. when the delegataon began ro rcll Assemblyman (and Buffalo Mayoral Ca nd1dare) Will1am Ho yr about the importance of UB in the West ~rn New Yo rk communtty, the y found he was already pleading UB's case to other legi sla tor~ . H oyt 1s not alone. Other area legislators voiced the1r s uppon for the Univers ity. For insta nce. Assemblyman Richard Anderson said that last year. during his campaign for the assembly. "we did some poll ing (abour) favorable and unfavorable impressions of different things going on in Amherst. The University ar Buffalo was one of rhe rhings rhar we polled . "It was a 93 per cent favorable opinion .... Ninety- three per cen t of the residents in Amherst have a favorable impression of UB." He co ntinued: '' As far as the funding is co ncerned. nor only does rh ar S47 mil· lion that the governor has cut. .have to be resrored , bur I really rhink rh e S28 million that was cut this year (for fiscal year 1988-89) should also be resrored. " Anderson rold rhe lobt>yisrs. "Which would bring ir up ro abour S10-15 million rhar really needs robe restored to bring programs back to where rhey were rwo years ago. I've gor ro believe rhar SUNY is absolutely ar rhe top of anybody's list. as far as restoring funds ." There are several sources that the legis- lature could use in order to salvage the S47 million , legisl~rs informed rhe lobbyisrs. By delaying the planned reduction of the personal income tax. the State would have more revenues. Also, by raising or beginning other ta xes. like sin taxes. gasoline taxes. sales taxes. or by taxing bowling. more mone y would also be available. T he final tool rhal I he legis lature has 10 raise money for SUNY is ro raise tuition . Many legislators see this as the most viable option. ..To me. if the only alternative is to increase ruirion SfOO or S200 a year - if that's what it takes to provide the courses that are necessary and to maintain the level of FrEs - rhen rhar mighr have ro be done," Anderson said. If sraff lines are cut. Anderson said. students won't be able 'to finish their degrees on time due to a lack of classes. "All I'm saying is I'm nor ruling (a tuiron hike) our , depending upon rhe forces rhar co me ro play on all rhe legislators." Anderson was not the only legislator warning of a tuition increase. Assembl yman Richard Keane also did nor rule o ut the poss ibility of hikin~it io n . He commented : "We're meCting on a regular basis to discuss various options that a~rc available to us to produce mo re revenue . You've probabl y read about so me or the: things lhat have bcc:n thrown at us - tax on cable: TV . a tax on bowling. People with cable TV don't like it, bowlers don't like it. .. Keane went on to say that various proposals are favored by the as$embly , the sena te. and the governor. A compromise has yet to be reached. " What I am a ttempting to do is keep an open mind to all of these things." said Keane. But raising various taxes is not the only option Keane is considering. -My own personal position on tuition i~ that we can stand a tuition increase. If we are worried abour poor people which we are - we don't want to deny poor people the opportunity ro gel rheir education . Bur poor people would nor be affected by rhe ruirion increase. We all know rhar. I th ink rhat ir wouldn't begin to cosr anybody any money unril rhey have an $18,000 (ncr raxable) income. I don't consider them poor ... K cane said he doesn't agree with the governor's avowed goal of a tuitionfree SU Y system. "What's the tuition? Sl ,350? There's no reason why h could n't be a Jot more than that ," Keane said. compari ng SUNY tuition to higher tui tions being charged by private high sc hools in Buffalo. When asked by one of rhe lobbyisrs whethe r he would support a tuition increase. Keane answered simply. ..1 would. " Bur he did nor adwx:are rhar ir s hould become an annual budge! fixture . " In a very difficuh year, maybe we will . do rhings that we normally wouldn't do. I don't rh ink we should raise ruirion willynilly·over the next few years, just because we want to catch up to Canisius College . ... We have a very bad situaton this year. and we have to deal with it. .. If the tuition increase is part of the package, well, ir's nor a buller I like ro bile on, bur ir would be one I would ." Keane WaS quick ro defend himself and his colleagues on I he ruirion issue, by pointing out that tuition was increased moderately seve ral years ago. However. he doesn't rhink ir has kepr pace wirh inOarion. He said rhar he and fellow legislators are inte re s ted in helping education. "The record of the legis latur~ is very, very clear when it comes to education in rhis srare . We spe nd, today, for primary and seconda ry education, S8 billion dol· Iars per year. to educate students with State money. Six years ago, we were spending less rhan S6 billion - we are spending two billion more dollars. new dollars. "We have made an enormous commitment to funding education in this S tate, and to the State University sysrem." Keane explained ro rhe lobbyists.

"Not having a· hike in tuition is probably a luxury that we can't afford. I think that a modest increase will occur." - WILLIAM HOYT H oyt did not wish to go on record during the lobbying effort, concern· ing the possibility of a tu ition hike and the culling of SUNY's budger. But early this week. he said in a phone interview thai a tuition hike is Something srudenrs should probably expecl. " or having one is probably a luxury we can't afford . lrhink rhar a modesr increase will probably occur." During rhe lobbying effort. Hoyr rook a swipe at s tudent apathy co ncerning the hike. " In past years, when then:: have been budget problems. we have been in un dated wirh srudent lobbyisrs. They have all come down, and there have been rallies, and they really raised their voices. raised hell. . .I don't see rhe srudenrs (rhis year): I find rhar funny ." Hoyr said rhar he also hasn't received any leiters from students concerning tuition. ..In a year when there is an awful budget," Hoyr rold rhe UB lobbiers, ..polirically, you're in competition with others who are being heard . you've got ro be sq ueaky , thar's rhe way rhe wheel gelS greased .... " "The UB group was joined by other area SUNY lobbyists for SUNY Day at the capital. Most of tf7e legislators were sympathetic to UB's and SUNY's needs." 0 ne of rhe lobbyisrs rold Hoyr rhar students have been protesting in Buffalo against rhe hike. Hoyr answered rhar he hadn'r heard rhe proresrs and rhar 's whar really counrs. "Who are rhey dC'lllonslrating for? The people who hold their future in their hands are us and we 'II all be here. " A lobbyisr sugges ted that bus rrips ro Albany mighr be roo expensive for student s. Hoyt said if the various st udents couldn't afford buses ro I he Srate capital, there were other ways to protest the tuition hike. "We haven't gonen letters. h doesn't take much money to write leners." Hoyl also had some good news for the lobbyists. Due to federal lawsuirs againsr various oil companies, accusing them of overcharging the public, there is S66 m il· lion available for energy conservation projects. Hoyt said some of it may come here, to the Superconductivity Institute. "My goal is to get them S4 million dollars this. time," he said.

" - RICHARD ANDERSON �March 23, 1989 Volume 20, No. Dean's Corner HRP: an integrai part of the health sciences By G . ALAN STULL Dean. Health Relaled Profess•ons hen the School of Health Related Professions was established in 1966 at the University at Buffalo. it was the first school of allied health in the S tate University of New York W system and one of the first haJf..<fozen established in the country. Today th e School joins the Schools of Dental Medicine. Medicine, Pharmacy. and Nursing as an in tegral pan of UB's Healt h Sciences Center. The undergraduate mission of the School o f Health Related Professions is to provide high quality professional preparation so that aJii.cd health practitioners can function as vital :nembcrs of health ca re teams. At the graduate level. students are prepared for caree rs as researchers , admmistrators. and educators in the allied health field s. · The School incl udes four depanmcnt s - Health Behavioral Science. Medical Teehnology. Occupational Therapy. and Physical Therapy and Exercise Science plus the Programs of Nuclear Medicine Technology and Nut ril jon. Students arc currently being admitted to undergraduate. entry-level program~ 1n mcd1cal techno logy, occupational therapy. ph ysical therapy, spo n and exercise stud1es, and nuclear medicmc technology. V1able master ·~ degree programs are ava ilable 1n med1cal techno logy, occu pational therapy , exe rcise science. and nu triti on. Most of the facult y orfices are in Kimball T o wer with research and teaching laboratories also housed in Butler Annex and Hayes Don the South Camp us. However, all offices and laborato ri es for the Department of Medieal Tech no logy are housed at the Erie County Medical Ce nter cam pus. The allied health professions a re amo ng the fastest growing a reas in the workplace. The Ameriean Soeiety of Allied Health Professions estimates th at there are currently o~er three million health care professionals in the allied health workforce, and six out of every ten health care workers are in one of the allied health professions. Services are included in a wide range of settings, including the home, hospitals, clinies. hospices, extended care facilities, and schools. Allied health professionals share responsibility for the delivefy of health care services including those related to the identification, evaluation, and prevention of diseases and disorders; dietary and nutrition services; health promotion; rehabilitation; and health systems management. Employment Opportunities. Currently, in ,both Western New York and across tbe nation there are acute shortages of medical technologists, nuclear medicine technologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. By the year 2000 the shortages are projected to get even worse. A study eompleted in June 1988 by the Division of Health Care Service, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, projected that between 1986 and the year 2000 th~ number of clinical a nd medical laboratory positions for technologists and teehnicians will grow from 239.400 to 296,300, an increase of 24 per cent. The positions for occupat ional therapists will increase by 52 per cent. from 29.300 to 44.600. and 53.500 new jobs, representing an increase of over 87 per cent, are pred icted in physical therapy. The results of a 1988 report of the New York State Labor-Health Industry Task Force on Health Perso nnel also concluded that there will be significant shonages in a number of the all ie"'health professions through 2000. Medical Technology The Department of Medieal Technology first accepted studen ts in 1939. It has the largest medical teehnologyd'Wgram in the SUNY sys tem and 1lnl seventh largest in the coun try . Its graduate program is o ne of two such programs in the SUNY sys tem. The Department reeeived approval from the A merican Medical Associa tion Council on Education for the first integrated University-based program in medical teehnology. This program was also one of the first to teach electro nics and instrument al analysis as part of the core curriculum. The faculty are currently involved in a variety of research projects, includ ing: trace metal activation of human serum alkaline phosphatase and establishment of optimal assay co nditions; Doppler electro phoretic light scattering analysis of human hemoglobin mutdnts in conjunction with Coulter Electronics; the measurement of cholesterol esterase activity using a Ouo rcscencc a ttenuation enzymatic app r oach ~ a prospective stud y of factors related to nosocomial enterococal infections at Erie County Medical Ce nter. a nd a 20-year retrospective st ud y concerning aspe rgi ll osis infections at Roswell Park Memorial Institute; and standardization of an anti-phospholipid ELIZA. The Department of Medical Technology currently operates an elect ronic bulletin board ( Med TechNet) with worldwid e users for the exchange of information related to clinical laboratory sciences and health care delivery. Within the past month. Dr. Frank T. Riforgiato has presented a S5,000 endowment to the University at Buffalo Foundation to fund an annual award . for outstanding academic achievement to a graduating senior in the Department of Medical Technology . The gift honors Dr. Riforgiato's wife , Mary Cecina Riforgiato, who worked as a medical technologist at Buffalo General Hospital upon her graduation from the University at Buffalo. Dr. Riforgiato is ~ graduate of the class of 1929 of the UB S.:hool of Medicine. Nuclear Medicine Technology. In 1977 the Nuclear Medicine Tr;cbnology Program accepted its first class and bas graduated an average of ten students each year sir.a: that time. This program, jointly sponsored by the Departments of Med ical Technology and Nuclear Medicine , is one of two such programs in the SUNY system and supplies most of the nuclear medicine technologists for the Western New York area. Nutrltlo . The Nutrition Program 1s the only graduate program in Western New York to offer the M.S. in Nutrition . There are two track s available Clinical utrition and utriti o n Science - and s·t udents are required to conduct research that result s in a thesis or a project. Curren tl y, the program enrolls four full -titnc and II parttim e students. The program has graduated a total of seven students since it was transferred from Buffalo State College in 1984. The research interests of the facult y of the program include: nutritional assessment , obesity. dietary fat and cardiovascular disease , nutrie nt transport, and the role of dietary fat in the development of colon cancer. Occupational Therapy. The baccalaureate degree program leadi ng to certification as an · occupational therapist was cited in the 1987 Gourman Repon as o ne of the top three professional occupational therapy programs in the United S tates. Approximately 50 junior level students are admi tted to the Department each year. The Master of Science degree program, now in its six th year, offers speeialization tracks in: (I) developmental disabilities, (2) sc hoolbased practice. (3) pediatrics. and (4) ph ysical disa bilities. The program is recog nized nationall y for its leadership in assis tive technology and computers. C urrently, there are 19 full-time and 14 pan-time students in the graduate program. At present. the Department of Oecupational Therap y has in excess of $700.000 in external grants and projects. These include funding to prepare occupational therapists to sene the developmentally disabled in New York State, graduate training for school-based practice, a vocational rehabilitation traineeship program . a model training program for community-based rehabilitation personnel and families , and a model for interagency coordination of technology resources policy deve lopment. Since December I. 1988, the Department has submitted grant proposals totaling approllimately $2.500.000. These ran ge from a training grant designed to prepare personnel to provide earl y intervention services to infants and toddlers with handicaps. to training educators to service students with traumatic brain injury. to establishing a research and training center on accessible housing environments for individuals with disabilities. Physical Therapy and Exercise Science. The Department of Physical Therapy and Exercise Science is bolh unique and diverse. In 1983 when the members of the then two separate Depanments of Ph ysical Therapy and Phys ical Education had the visio n to recognize the unique educational and research advantages that could accrue from a merger, .many watched with skepticism since this combination was unu sual. The merger has since proven successful and has served "'i a model for other institutions. "The allied health professions are among the fastest growing areas in · the workplace. Estimates are that there are now over three million health care professionals in the allied health work force and six out of every ten are ih one of the allied health professions~ " -G. ALAN STULL The co mplex ion of the faculty has changed since 1983 with an emphasis on the reeruitment of faculty who can contri bute to the research mission of the Department. An effort has been made. howeve r, to maintain a balance between teaching and research needs since clinical education ls an es.scntjaJ part of the undergraduate programs. One major obstacle the Department is facing is in adequate space for research and teaching laboratocies. In order to oven:ome that problem, it has increased its eollaborative relationships to includ e other units on campus - i.e. P hysiology, Anatomical Sciences. Surgery, Family Medicine, Atbleties, aod Engineering. Off-<:ampus collaborative arrangements with several area hospitals and clinical settings have also been "strengthened. . Some unique resUrch and teaching opportunities exist within the Department. In the biomcc:hanies area a gait laboratory with the capability of performing kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographical analyses is nearing eompletion. A microcin:ulation laboratory will be the only such facility in the country housed in a Department of Physical Therapy and Exen:ise Science. Tbe main foeus of the rcsearcl and teachillll is on the structlln' and function of blood vessels in traumatized s keletal muscle. A third m"ajor area of research centers on pulmonary responses to exercise in patient and nonnal populations. •· Another area. which has received �M•n:h 23, 1919 Volume 20, No. 23 recent media attention, is functional electrical stimulation (FES) following muscle denervat io n. A prototype modified " Big Wheels" tricycle was designed collaboratively with the Departments of Anatomical Sciences and Electri cal and Computer Engineering to electrically induce con tractio ns in paralyzed muscles. Additional projects utilizing FES as well as high voltage gal vanic st im ulati o n are being conducted. Other fac ult y are pursuing research interests · 10 reh abilitation strategies for patients wi th neuromuscular problems, athletic mjurics, and efficacy of various physical therapy treatments. Gradu ate educatio n in exercise science has undergone a great de al of change over the past five yeafs with the elimination of the teacher preparation programs and the redirection toward a research-oriented degree. A thesis is now required. and the student body is co ntinuing to move 'toward more fullume students. In the current Master of Science degree program, students may co nce ntrate in applied physiology. biomec hanics. athletic training. or devel o pmental d isa bilities. A contract wi th the New York State Offiee of Mental Retardati o n and Deve lo pment al Disabilities in coo peration with the West Se neca Developmental Disa bilit ies Services Office provides stipe nd s for licensed physical therap ists pu rsuing the specializatio n in developmental disabilities. The graduate specialization in athletic trai ning is o ne of only I 3 graduate programs certified by the Natio nal Athletic Training Associa ti o n. Students enrolled in th is conce ntrati on a rc typtcally su ppo rted by assista ntships provided by o utside agencies with a need for athletic trai ners. The Department of Ph y ica l Therapy and Exe rcise Science coo perates with the Di visiOn of Athletics and the Department of Family Med ici ne in offe ring the ca mpus Health- Rel ated Fitness In it ia tive ( H F RI ). a program designed to enha nce the fitness leve ls of Uni ve rsi ty faculty and staff. A total of 62 ind ivi du als entered the program and began a six-week pilot exe rcise progra m on M o nday. April II . 1988. Two exercise sessions (7:00 a. m. and nocfn) were co nducted each Monday. Wednesday. and Friday. Walking a nd walk/jogging were the main exercise modalities: however, muscular stretching and strengthening exercises supplemented the ae robic phase ?f the workout. The D ivision of Athlettcs conducted a .. mainte nance .. exercise program through the summer of 1988. During the fall of 1988, 130 addtttonal individuals entered the HFRI. 1'c grant was obtained from CSEA to support 72 o f these (Jldividuals. Of the original 62 clients from spring 1988 . 32 cootinued info the fall . Resistance training was added to the program for the . continuing cllents. A 5: 15p.m. exercase session at Clark Hall was also added . In January. 1989, 35 new clients entered the program, and 120 from the previous sp(ing and fall groups continued in Spring 19g9. During the program's brief history. 18 undergraduate exerclSe s~1encc majors have participated as mtems. assisting with the tcsling and exerc1se phases of the programs. Testing of the participants has revealed enhanced fitness levels, and reactions to the program by the participants have been overwhelmingly positive. 4D • More tl1an 3,000 fans cheered the Puerto Rico men·s votleyball team Ill .a resounding victory over Pem State last Su1day.

Many child-abuse victims have dental injuries, too higher-than-e x pected in ci· dence of mo uth and fac ia l injun!:.> among child-abuse vic· tims underscores the need for dentists to be part of hospital teams evaluating and treating them. according to researchers at the School of Deni a l Medicine. Their stud y of patients seen in a hos pital emergency room also ide ntifies a pattern of injuries that I hey believe will help dentists in private practice pinpoint potential child abuse victims. Paul A . Weiss , D . D .S .. clinical instructor of pediatric dentistry. presented results of the study Salurday. March 18. at the annual meeting of the American Association for Dental Research (AADR). Weiss said U 8 researchers found orofacial inj uri es in 57 per cent of 112 abused patients examined at Children's Hospital of Buffalo. where he is a dental resident. Facial injuries were found in 95 per cen t of 44 physically a bused children , with injuries within the oral cavity ~curri n g in 14. or 32 per cent. Among 68 childre n who had been sex ually abused , facial inj uries were found in 32 per cent, with oral injuries in 8, or 12 per cent. Weiss said ... previous studies found an incidence of oro-facial injuries in from 40 to 65 per cent of physically abused children." Noling that he was not aware of pre· vious studies of oral injuries among sexually abused children. he said the incidence of 32 per cent found in the study "was higher than we expected to sec." While previous studies relied on retrospective analysis of medical chans, information for the UB study was obtained from dental exams conducted A at the time children were see n in the emergency room at C hildren 's Hospital of Buffalo. Subjects" ages ranged from six months 10 21 years. Weiss conducted the stud y with Joseph E. Bernat, D .p .S .. UB cjinical associate professo r o f pediatric dentistry and chair of pediatric dent ist ry at the School of Denial Medici ne and Child· ren 's Hospila l o f Buffalo. 0 ther research results repo rted at the AADR meeting by UB dental researchers included findings that : • Complica t ions of diabetes apparently increase the risk of develop· ing periodontal disease - the lead ing cause of tooth loss in American adults. Marc Shloss man. D.D.S., UB research associate in oral biology, said the results of his study und ersco re the need for people with diabetes to have regular dental examinations for periodontal d isease. Shlossman"s research involved 707 diabetic Pima Indians in southern Arizona. • Two antibiotics when used in combination may be the key to successful treatment of patients with otherwise unyielding periodontitis. Researchers here and in Amsterdam, The Nether· lands, collaborated on this stud y that showed th at after only seven days of the combined drug treatment, the causal bacteria were eliminated in all of 16 patients with a recalcitrant form of periodontitis and all showed dramatic clini· cal improvements. Lars A. Christersson, D.D.S., clinical associate professor of oral biology here, said he and fellow researchers at UB and the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam achieved the ,result< using a combination of metronidazole and amoxicillin, bolh of whlch are sometimes · used alone in the treatm~ of periodontal disease. 4D �Man:h 23, 1989 Volume 20, No. 23 The Cuban Missile Crisis: have we learned its lessons? • The conventional wisdom ~ about what happened is wrong, a Cornell prof says; and that affects us today cems. He was desperately trying to prevent loss ra th er tha n to achieve gain. He wanted to deter the U.S. from an .a cking Cuba agai n foll owing the Bay of Pigs fiasco. At th e sam e tim e, Kennedy was bei ng str o ng-a rm e d d o mes t ically to bring a bo ut a successful invasi on. Also. Khrushchev was res po nding to the U.S. de ploy ment of missiles in Turkey , an d th e real U.S. bu ildup o f nuclea r ar ms. By MARK MARABELLA "I Repon er Sratf f Kenned y had had to make a decision on the first day of the Cuban Missile Crisis, he would have launched an air strike, .. according to Richard Ned Lebow, professor of government and director of the Peace Studies Program at Cornell Uni vcrs ll y. Lebow noted that Kenn edy's ''cabinet members. whether hawks or doves, unan imo usly agreed that they , needed a week to wo rk out a policy and to settle on the blockade ... He said that those invo lve d 1n the crisis agree that " if a similar nu clea r cris is were to occur today , a president wo uld have no more than 24 hours to make a decision ... Le bow lectured on .. New Revelatioos on the C uban Missile Crisis: Implicatio ns for Cri sis Prevention," under sponso rship of th e U 8 Nuclear War Preventi on Studies Graduate Group. _His talk offe red insights int o the complexities of the co nfrontat io n, which lasled from Oct. 16-27, 1962. and thoughts on how the lesso ns learned can be applied 10 foreig n policy 1od ay. "Co nventi onal wisd o m." Lebow sa id , " " that the U.S . was eyeball-to-<:yeba ll with th e Soviet Uni on and the Soviets blinked; !h al !he U.S. had a n overall co nve nt io na l superiority in th e Ca ribbean a nd a n ove ra ll nuclea r superio rit y as well. So. th e Russia n!!. had no choice bu t to back down ... But that co m c nuo nal w1 sdom IS wro ng. he argued . It's impo rtant to undcrM!t nd that . he sa id. becau se American fo re ig n po licy pa rti cul a rl y th at as pec t of it related to crisis prevent io n and ma nagement - is based la rgel y o n lesso ns of the C uban crisis. If inte rpretation s of th e cri sis a re wro ng. th ose policies are wrong. too. In many cases, Lebow noted, new interpretati o ns suggest po licies almost in reverse of the existing ones. So the crisis is a matter of urgent contemporary political importance, he indicated , and provides lessons which policy makers in both oountries desperately need to learn . T he reason the crisis was resolved , he said, had nothing whatsoever to do with the military balance. It had to do with strong mutual fears of war and its consequences - quite independent of the military balance. It was the absolute damage that war would cause, not the relative damage. Through the U.S . Freedom of Information Act, a multitude of CIA reports and analyses written during the crisis have been made pubtic. And President John .F. Kennedy-had a tape recorder secret ly taking down the deliberations of his gro up of advisors. ..These are wonderful documents," Lebow commented, "because they tell you how policy was made, not the way people remembered it afterwards. .. Most exciting is the information that we have on the Soviet side because, until now, during every Cold War crisis there has been an asymmetry - .lots of information on the American side and almost nothing on the Soviet side, other than public statements, most of which were propagandist in nature. n The breakthrough on the Soviet side came at a conference in October 1987 in Cambridge , Mass ., which brought together a small group of former L Ke nnedy and Khrush c he v in Vienna 1n 1961 · Khru s hc hev d idn 'J like miSSile s up h•s bac kside Kenned y cabinet members and highranking Soviet officials . .. ''What struck all of us wh o have dealt with t)le'Soviets in the past and are used to their 'stonewall openness' was how unlike any previous meetings this session was, .. Lebow observed. · M ost of the information given by the Soviet officials was too deeply embarrassing to the Soviet Union and to its policies to be considered propaganda. he said. The Soviet officials also disagreed among themselves about the relative causes of the crisis, debatijlg publicly during the conference. Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev himself recommended that there be a united effort to provide information. "Gorbachev said that the world was almost blown up because two boys were fighting in the school yard over who had the bigger stick," Lebow pointed out. "He hoped the Cambridge meeting would shed light on tbe origin and course of the crisis in hopes that such a future trauma may be avoided . n ~bow gave this chronology of the background of the crisis: In August 1957 the first Soviet ICBM was launched, followed shortly by the first Sputniks. Khrushchev at the time made far-reaching claims of Soviet ICBM capabili ty, said that Soviet factories were L .. turning them o ut like sausages." and boasted that Soviet ICBMs could hit any target in Western Europe and later in the u.s. All of thi s gave rise in the U.S . to the perception of a missile gap. This had the Americans deeply worried . Kennedy came to power be)jeving in the gap and dramatically increased the scope and pace of the American strategic buildup. He quickly discovered. however, through satellite reconnaissance. whic h was just emerging, th at the missile gap was in the U.S .'s favor, not the Soviets'. He also discovered that the firstgeneration Soviet ICBM of which Khrushchev was so publicly proud was actually a disaster. It tended to blow up on the launching pad. The Russians had deployed only nine of them in Northern Russia. U.S. spy satellites found the nine, but the administration didn' believe there were no more unt il many other salellites were sent up. Also, every bomber in the U.S .S .R . was targeted by U.S. missiles. "So the U.S . had achieved first-strike capabilities, when at the same time Kennedy had put his foot to the Ooor accelerating the anns race," Lebow · noted. Khrushchev, Lebow said , was motivated by overwhelmingly defensive con- ebow offered th is behind -the-scenes gl impse of the Soviet leader: · " Wh y sho uld we have missiles sticking up ou r ass and the America ns no ne ( re~ ferring to the deployment of American missiles in T ur key)," Khrus hchev sa id in a co nve rsatio n with his minister of defense. '' I want to stick a few missiles up Kenned y's backside and see how he likes it. Maybe then he11 have some respect for our legit imate defense interests and take us seriously ... Khrushche v was emotionally committed to this idea of deploying missiles in C uba , Lebow contended - not merely to offset strategic superiorit y or to defend C uba , but because he was in s ulted by Kenned y 's audacious depl oy ment in the Russian backyard. The Soviets interpreted the U.S. buildup as an offensive move and looked upo n thei r send ing mi ssiles to C uba as defensive strategy. " However, the Americans interpreted the C uban missiles as an offensive thrust a nd our blockade of Cuba as a defensive re action. These tactics we re a bluff - a double bluff. Le bow said. Former Secreta ry o f Sta te Dea n Rusk a nd th e president knew th at the wa rh eads in Turkey wouldn 't wo rk. A nd tt was neve r co nfirm ed th at th ere we re nu clea r warheads in C uba. " Deterre nce. as practiced o n both sides. bro ught a bo ut the ve ry be hav ior th at th ey we re tryi ng to pre ve nt ." Le bow summ a riLed . " Eac h side tried to act tough a nd fi rm in ho pes of mode rati ng th e other, and iq.stead provo ked eve n more aggressive behavio r. There was a cycle o f actio n a nd react io n th at culm inated in the mos t se ri ous nuclear crisis to dat e. .. So the co ncept of using deterrence as a strategy of co nflict management as practiced by the superpowers proved to be deeply flawed ," he argued . "If there had been a war it would have arise n out of loss of con1rol. and the chance of loss of control would be a hundred times greater today,"' Lebow suggested . D eterrence as a self-regulating system is a superficial idea, he explained. Deterrence as a strategy - the deliberate manipulation of war, or the risk of war to intimidate an opponent - is what provoked the crisis. The prospect of mutually assured destruction (or significant damage) was sufficient to bring botb leaders back from the' brink once war was threatened, Lebow said. But it 's not a self-regulating system because of the propensity for loss or control. .. Americans are paying attention to the wrong sets of issues,.. in Lebow's view. Americans are looking for technical fiXe: to c.risis management. fixes of the organizational engineering kind - SOl and the "stealth" bomber - and that's not what it's about, Lebow concluded. "Crisis management is a political problem th at demands empathy, an understanding of what motivates the other side; and an understanding of your own inherent limitations of control and policy-making." liilOrmed by tbesc considerations. he said, you act a~cord­ ingly.

A gift of nea rl y SJ million from the estate of the late UB History Professor Milton . Plesur was prese nted to U B President Ste ven B. Sample. U B Foun· dat ion President J ose ph J . Mansfield. and Willi am Allen, chairman of the Department of H istory, Tuesday by A ndr ew Feldman, attor ne y for the Plesur estate. The gift will be used to establis h a scholarShip fund for students who have chosen his tory as their major course of stud y. Plesur, who died s uddenly November 14 , 1987, bequeathed his entire estate to the University at Buffalo Foundation. The M ilton Ples ur Scholarship Fund will provide sc ho larship assis tance to juniors and se nio rs majoring in his tory at UB. The sc holarsltips will be bas'e d on financial need and will range from full tuition plus fees to $6,000 per year. Due to the size of the e nd ow me nt , it is expected that rnuhiple awards will be made each year. The scholars hip recipIents will be honored eac h yea r a t a s peCial cerem o ny at grad ua li o n. Co ntributi o ns fr om frien ds of Milto n Plcsur to enhance this fund are e nco uraged . I... "This permanently endowed scholar· s hip fund will recognize Milton Plesur"s dedicat ion and accomplishments as a teacher and a scholar," Sample· commented . "It is fair to say that Milton Plesur was a faculty member who literally gave his life to UB. He gave unlimited ti me to his students, led a productive professional life. and, after his death, left his entire estate to tbe benefit of young people who will purSue the st ud y of his· tory that was his perSonal passion." "These scholarShips are more than double any ·undergraduate scholarsltips now available at UB, and are among the most generous awarded nationally. They are a fitting tribute to a mao whose guidance and counsel had such a lasting effect on the many st udents whom he taught and helped," William S . Allen, chairman of the Department of History, said . Plesur served UB from 1955 until his death in 1987. He is remembered as one of the most colorful professors on campus. always ready with amusing anecdotes and boisterous opinions. He was also a noted ~Jar of America n popu· Jar culture anchtte his to ry of U.S. presi· dents. He was frequently in demand as a lecturer and speaker on such subjects as "Eros in the While House" and "Greater and Lesser American Presidents." Other materials associated with Plesur"s estate also have been bequeathed to the UniverSity. These include his collection of books th at will beco me a part of the .U ndergraduate Library and his vast collection of research paperS and photo· graphs that will be housed in the Univer· sity Archives.

Ra nd Trust. has es lablished a new program in internal ional busi ness siUdies. Thi s ongo in g program includes symposia on issues in interna tional manageme nt . lectures by maj o r business executives. and a working pape~ series. The Rand progra m will provide mo re o pportunities for Master of Busi ness Administration students to learn the in tricacies of the inte rn ational business world. a particularly important endeavor in wh at has become a n increasingly g lob a l marketpla ce, sai d John M . Thomas. associa te dean for internation a l programs in Management. The program also will feature activities of interest to the community. Thomas said. no ting in particular th e symposia- events. Tw o sy mposia arc pJanned fo r lhe spring: A co nference foc using on U.S .China trade relations is sc heduled for mid-April a nd a conference devo ted to U.S.-Ca nada trade is set for ea rly May. Co-sponsored by UB's C hina Trade Center. the symposi um on U.S .-China trade will analyze major iss ues emergi ng from this important commercial relati OJl· ship. Thomas said . Th e C hina trade sym posi um will fea ture a keynote address by Roger Sullivan , a member of the U.S.-China Trade Co unci l. the leading organization prom o t ing U.S .·China co mmercial relations. Business leaders and consultants with ex tensive experie nce in China also will panicipate. The event dealing with U.S .-Canada trade, co-sponsored by U B's CanadaU. S . Trade Center, will feature an addres s by Alan Rugman of the University of Toronto o n ·corpo rate strategies and the U.S .-Canada trade agreement. Rugman has wri tten about international business and is president-elect of the Academy of International Business. T homas said the School o f Manage· ment hopes th is fall to begin the new Rand Exec uti ve Forum . in which chai rmen or chief execu tive officers of companies with extensive inte rn ational business operations will meet with students and address the UniverSity and local busi ness community. Currently, the Rand endowment is funding two o ngoing projects at the School, Thomas said. This fall saw the launchi ng of a project examini ng the merger of two o rganizational cultures: Dunlop Tire Corp. and Sumitomo Rubber Industries of Japan. The project was suggested by Randall L. Clark , chairman o( the board and CEO of Dunlop and a member of the School of Management 's advisory board . Directed by fac ult y members wh o arc assisted by student s. the project focuses on th e adaptation of U.S . management system s to Japanese techniques, the transfe r of knowledge a nd problemso lvi ng method s by Japanese techn ical advisors at the ope ra tio ns level, and the ge neral coo rdinat io n of different management philosophies and st rategies. Thomas noted that the project will provide a n internatic:tal case study for what has become a growing phenome non: acquisition nf and investment in U.S . firms by Jap a nese bu siness interests. Ma nage ment is al so developing th e Rand Series on Internatio nal M a nagement . a working paper se rie~ to be launc hed this sp ring. This series will publi s h facul t y research papers. presentations by o utside speakers. and pr~eedings from sym· posia on internatio nal management topics. " Without the long-standing support and commitment of the Rand famil y to the School of Management , thi s program would not have been possible. " Thomas said. "Their s ~pport will allow the school to signifitan tly increase its efforts in internationaJ business education for Americaru. In addition, the program will involve Western New York business leaderS and officials in a variety of projects related to the development of international business opportunities," he said . The George F . and Isabel W. Rand Trust was esta blished with the Buffalo Founda tion in 1951 to aid the then School of Business Adminis tration at the UniverSity. The fund originally was used to enric h facult y salaries, and more recently has been used to sponsor lectures, workshops, and research conferences.

CD �March 23, 1989 Volume 20, No. 23 Ancient sailors offer lessons for modern times By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Staff q or Charles 0 . Frake, a ruddy Californian enamored of the sea. the sailors of the past hold lessons for the modern world , tumultuous with technology and talk. Frake. professo r of anthropology at Stanford and a member of the National Academ y of Sciences, was on campus rece ntly to discuss his research on the cognit ive powers of medieval sailo rs, und C:r the auspices of the Ant ~ropology Depanment. Frakc 's main research interest has been the islands of the South Pacific. especially the Philippines. where he has conducted ex tensive ethnographic and linguistic studies. ''And that 's how I got interested in sailing," said Frak.e, who now sa ils in the Pacific near hi s home in Santa Cru z. " I became intrigued with the problems of navigation without charts and maps, which the Pacific Islanders were famous for ," Frakc: said in an interview . .. They sailed th e whole Pacific before Europea ns sai led anywhere. And how that has been don e has been of in terest not only to a nthropology, but a lso to cognitive psyc hology. And so I got interested in the history of navigation and staned teaching it. Meanwhile. I staned sailing myself. ··one of the things a sailor has to worry about in .man y pans of the world is tides . . .. I've found out that medieval sailors. before they had tide tables, knew what the tides were." These early sailors were able to do this, Frake said, because of the " co mpa ss rose. " a cognitive q:hema for calculming time and tide. F ··or course. th e books a nd sc holarship are great, and you ca n navigate a lot better now than you could then. But the price of it is that the actu al person out at sea ... doesn't know as much about (the life of the sea) as the medieval sailor did ." In his essay, Fra.ke poi nts out that C haucer could rely on his 14th century re aders . .. whatever their calling, to have a basic understand ing of the now of the tides and the co urse of the moon ... But one cannot expect even .. the vaguest knowledge of tidal phenomena" from the modern reader, however scholarly inclined, Frake writes. In fact, the modern seafare r performs his tasks in "a cognitively sim ple-minded manner ... med1eva1 compass was a cognitive schema lor calculating t1me and t1de N I n an essay on .. Cogni tive Maps of Time and Tide Among Medieval Seafarers'" that appeared in Man: The Journal of rhe Royal Anthropological lnstitwe. Frake writes: .. To predict the tides requires a theory of t he tid es, a method of determining, recording and correlating solar and lunar time, and a memory of the lunar tidal schedule (the establishment of the port) for every locality. ""Piaget himse lf could not have designed a better task for testing formal ope rational thinking. The medieval sail· or met this test ingeniously by appropriating a cognitive schema for spatial orientation - the compass rose - as an abstract device for fecording 'and calcula~ing lime and tide. n Thte compass rose , said Frake. came at the end of the midd le ages and represe nted .. what the sailors had in the ir heads. It was a mental way of imagining the information so they could chart it and organize it. In a sense, what they're doing is reproducing in their heads what a tide table has - all that information. The tide table comes out every year. But these medieval sailors had to have a system that would work all the time." T hese early sailors were able, then, to ferret out the secrets of the sea through their own mental powers, and also through their ability 10 Jearn from experience, Frake explained. "It wasn' repreSented in the form of the books, chans, or pictures that modem sBJiors have. "But toward the end of the middle ages, in the Renaissance, navigational . knowledge became more and more something that you oould put on paper. This was done professionally by other people who wei-en' sailors. "So it wasn' just a matter of improving people's a bility to navi8Jite. It was a different kind of institutionalization of the less than a Pacific Islander who did it all without anything at all. Because they bad to auend to the phenomena - the waves. and the sea swirls. and the birds - with any kind of informat ion they could get. Whereas nowadays, all you have to do is push a button on your console, and the latitude and the longitude appear. "Early sailors were able to ferret out the secrets of the sea using their own mental powers." whole enterprise until you had professio nal people making maps and cha rt s. and you had professional schools of naviga tion. h thus became more commercialized and professionalized. .. And much of the earl y o utput of books and charts dido' improve navigation that much. but it was a display of knowledge and a way of selling navigation in a commercialized sense. This was during the Renaissance when the Spanish and the Portuguese first began sailing overseas ... Sometimes the promoters of the new gadgetry grew impatient with thei r ~ari­ time brothers who beld on to the limeworn practice of unassisted navigation. Frake tells of a German sea captain of the early I SOOs who criticized the reluctance of Northern European sailors to use compasses and maps. by that time available. "They have all this knowledge in tb.eir beads," the captain was reported to say. Commented Frake: ".He's making this as a complaint, but I'm trying to point out that these people really did something that represents high-level cognitive perfo"!'ance." oting with a smile that medieval seafaring is not the usual stomping ground for an anthropologist. Fralr.e said lh3l the medie va l sea farer , though unequipped with modern ins truments of a ny kind , possessed nonetheless a ··superb understanding of the principles of boat-building and sailing." He was thus able to record and process "vast quantities of ever-<:hanging information." Frake's unusual navigation rtsearch relates to a larger question in cognitive st udies. ""People often try to say that in the modern world, we have a different kind of mind , that we're more logical because of literacy and schools and (thus more capa ble ot) abstract th ink ing. And I just think that 's wrong. In some ways, the technology, and the formal school· ing, and the books. rt:move us from the experiential wo rld. .. So a modern sailor like myself, in some ways knows less about the sea than the medieval (Eu ropean) sailor. and eve n Writes Frake: '' H e looks the information up in his tide and current ta bles. His mos t ment ally c hallenging task might be to apply a correction for his localit y to the lis ted datum for a nearby locali ty. ' Without tide tab les. most sailors today would be helpless. The medieval sailor had no such tables." F or Frake, stud y of cognition involves more than formalized psychological testing or computer analyses. Rather , the emphasis should be on scrutinizing the occurrences of everyday life - for instance, auempting to unearth all that transpires in an ordinary conversation . 'Tm tryi ng to study people's everday lives, rather than (exami ning cognitive issues) o n a comp uter or something like that. or wi th psycho.Jogical tests."" In Frake"s view. the world of the medieval sailor .. provides a nice context for examining a real-world cognitive task of some. but not forbidding, complexity 't a time when the impac t of technical de ~ vices - instruments, charts, and written directions - was just beginning to be: felt ." Frake notes that in the middle ages. "people. both at sea and on land. were really obsessed with time. I'm now working on the relati onship between the compass and the clock.· 4D SUNY names Farhi a Distinguished Professor eon E. Farhi. M.

''Local devastation . global revelation ... was the theme of geologist Richard Ftskr's satellite lecture on the famous I 883 eruption of the Krakatau volcano. Fiske, a volcanologist at the Smithsontan Insti tuti on. spoke via satellite to more than 2:\0 umvcrsaues Monday evening from the Californ ta ln!!! t itute of Techno logy and took questi o ns f rom audu: nces at fou r sc hool s. mcluding U B. The video co nferen ce was based on ''The lnfmite Voyage:· a sene~ of public television specials devote d to to pical iss ues in sc u;nce and techn o logy Located between Ja va and Sumatra in the S unda Strai t. Kraka tau is remem bered as a major ca tastr o phe because it er upt ed durin g the beginnings of the com munication age. " Peo ple we re able to correlate their perceptions with what the y read or heard had happened .·· Fiske said . hough he is a professional· geo logist and an authority o n ancient and active volcanos, Fiske descri bed the Krakatau volcano and its effects chronologically, mainly through the observa· Lions of eyewitnesses. "Like Mount Saint Helens, Krakatau started slowly. The volcanic ve11ts began opening in May 1883," he said . The captain of the German warship "Elizabeth" was passing by the volca no and noticed at the time an ...enormous shining vapor cloud" soon followed by an "ash rain which co\oc~ tb~ horizon." Again, on August 26< 1883, ash and dust were burled 17 miles into the sky. This continued for 22 hou rs until, on the morning of August 27, a blast caused by siJica explosions within the volcano was heard up to 3,000 miles away, Fiske said. "The dust and ash from the hot magma reservoir were this time thrown SO miles into the air, .. he co ntinu:ct, T "covering Indonesia in a blanket of darkness for days on e nd . In lhe waning stages of th e eruption. Krakatau imploded upon itself. its collapse quite si milar to the one which caused Crater Lake, Oregon." Tidal waves as high as 100 feet were caused whe n the disi ntegrated volcano fell into the ocean. Said Fiske: the catastr op he·s 36.000 deaths, 33.000 were due to tidal nooding on the coasts of Java and S umatra. Reef rocks weighing 16 tons were dragged as hore by the powerful current. .. Those aboard ships at sea were able to chronicle tha-,c ve nt in detail, si nce the waves from~ volcano's co lla pse were only a few feet in a mpl itude in deep water. One sailor told of " rumblings and nashings .. before his ship was pulled by a current toward the volcano. then pushed back by a developing tidal wave. Near the coast where the waves reached their fullest height , a steamship that was headi ng ou t of a S umatran port ·or usuall~ was saved only because it was in motion - statio nary ships around them were carried 10 miles inland . gases and volcamc ash would kill." The captain gave this account: .. T he wi nd s increased to the fo rce of pure horror. A rain of pumice sto ne covered the ship followed by a half-foot of mud . We then battled a huge wave. the same wave destroying coastal towns before our very eyes. Thousands died in that i n~i v i sib lc moment. .. ate r asked how the gases could tra\t l in a mass ove r open water. the gcol · ogist explained that the pumia: (sohd1 · fied volcanic foam) was so dense that 'aLl· ors were sa1d to have walked on tt lur miles . .. It was a bed of dry land atop the ocean... Fiske said. ..The gases wen.· never disturbed . ·• One year later, the pumice eventuaH) reached the eastern coast of Afnca "Creep ing things innumerabl e" and human sk ulls were both fo und amid the pumice washed ashore in Zanz.ibar.lead· ing many anth ro pologists to speculate about cul tural interact ion a nd the. spread of human motifs. Global effects were catalogued by the Royal Society in England . Fiske said . Their task was mad e easier by the new telegraph cables around the world. People were: aware of the catas trophe within days and registered any phenomena they thought to be re lated, he said . Abnormal tides were recorded in Californ ia. for instance. Strange sunsets and bl ue moo ns caused by the volcano·s dust traveling in the stratosphere were noted across the nort hern hemisphere. ..In fa<ot," Fiske said , " Krakatau·s marvelous aftereffects were the world's first conclusive proof I he high altitude circulation of wind ." In the op posi te directi on, and funher inland , a Dutch official's wife reported that tbe "area beca me pitch dark while ash cre pt in through the noorboards. All air inside was sucked away ... ~ th o ugh scales of skin were everywhere peeling off my body, my tired brain ' did not know that I had bee n burned .· She was lucky to live, Fiske said. si nce .. one breath of the heated air charged with A newspaper ol lhe day reports on the 1B83 e rupt1on al Krakalau. 01 Kraka loa L cientists also l~amcd much about the "dual penurbation of the air and sea" when tbey discove~ high pressure waves from Krakatau moving across (be earth. converging on Bogota, Colombia, and then echoing betw·ecn the antipodes. And Krakatau confirmed tbe existena: of caldera craters, those caused by the coUapse of volcanos. "Today, volcanologists arc poised for a repeat performana:," Fiske said . • An eruption the magnitude of Krakatau occurs roughly every hundred years."

Lynne Kurdziel-FOrmato is director a nd choreographer of the UB production and Michael Hake is music director.

Permi1No.311 IBUOIII PU-IIC RadiO lrDIIhe UDiRnib 81 BUUIIO • April 1989 M WBFO's 'real' birthday celebration begins on April 21 and runs through April 30 ' BFO turned 30 a couple of months ago, but the real celebration will begin Friday, April 21. and run for ten days until Sunday, April 30. Now, ten days is a long Lime t6 celebrate a binhday, but it's the perfect amoum of time to hold an on-air FUNdrive. Only this year, the FUN is even more special. At WBFO we're very proud of our 30 years of service to the Western New York and Southern Ontario communities. And we .:am you to share in this pride of accomplishmenL So, we've planned some very special programs for the week of the FUNd rive. FirsL, WBFO will "bring back" some of the outstanding people who have worked at the sllltion during the' ..-'.~~~~~~~!!'!'!!!'!'!~....-.. past three decades and let them tell yo u _ what a special place WBFO is. Those whom we can'1 bring in, we 'll ..... .....,,..... '' . ............. -30y..sef lew Jerk ••4 ... _,,.. .. S•••••re O•t•rie. '' contact by phone. You'll hear Terry Gross, Marcia Alvar, Bill Siemering, Jonathan "Smokey" Baer, Mike Waters, Ira Fla!Ow, and others talk about the experiences they had while working at WBFO. These interviews will give you a se nse of the proud tradition WBFO - Buffalo's first public radio station - has developed over the past 30 years. And hopefully, they will convey to you the joy all of us have shared in serving this area so long and so well. WBFO will also make it possible for you to participate in our 30th Anniversary celebration .in a more material way. For this FUNdrive, WBFO has ordered special, limited edition 30th Anniversary premiums, including 30th Anniversary T-shins and sweatshins, a 30th Anniversary autoshade for your car windshield, 30th Anniversary coffee mugs, and more. These premiums will allow you to help us put the fun in this FUN drive. BuL, on a less giddy and lljore imponant note, we must also ask you to help us put the "fund" in fundraiser. It is imperative that you suppon WBFO now more than ever before. Suppon for the station from the Federal government has never kept pace with inflation. Suppon from the State may actually decrease this year as New York struggles to deal with its fiscal crisis. Suppon from the University at Buffalo will either remain the same or decrease. At the same time, the cost of NPR programs is increasing dramatically ahd other station costs are increasing much faster than the rate of inflation. This puts the station in a bind WBFO either has to raise more of its own money through increased listener suppon and underwriting or it must scale back its ~rvice to the community. We -are reluctant to pursue the second option. So please, remember that your suppon of the station has been a vital pan of WBFO's success during the past three decades and your continued suppon will ensure 0 that WBFO will continue to be the best radio station it can be for the next 30 years. �WBFO program guide State University of New York at Buffalo April1989 immoru.lizrd 1hrough his r«ords "'ith l..~d)' Oa)' and the cxtr.lordin:ar)' ~xop h onist. l.tStc-r Young.

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

The legislative system is designed to institute controls, and not to prevent pol· lution, Commoner noted. "The law does not come into play until pollution is found and the EPA has determined it is harmful enough to regulate, but by tben it is too late," he remarked. L<:gislative efforts in his view arc .. a system of bandaids to treat the symptoms ..." Don't put it there & it won't be there C By ED KIEGLE Aeponer StaN arry Commoner introduced a "new physical law" here Monday night. If you don\ put something into the environment, it is n 't there. This law. he said, explains the failure of the efforts of the past 20 years to make substantial amprovement in envtronmcnta) proble ms. B Co mmoner. an internationally-known author and spokesman for the environ- mental movement . presented a lecture entitled "The Stale of the Environment. .. In n. he examined the successes arld fail ures of the effort to clean up the environment si nce 1970. when .. the country embarked on a huge, costly. well· organized effort " to do just that. 1 In general. the environmentalist assessed, these efforts were not very successful. .. There is a stra nge sense that despite the efforts we have made. we haven't made a dent in waste ... he said . For example. the Clean Air Act of 1970 was supposed to ca use a 90 per cent improvemen t in air pollution over seven years. " But if you look at the amount of !t landard air pollutant s in the atmos phe:~ the average reduction is 14 per ce nt ntcrcstmgly, there arc a few obvious exceptions to this trend , Commoner pointed out. Lead in the air was reduced by 90 per cent. Commoner described a similar trend for water pollution: In the case of phosphates in the Detroi t River , there has been a 70 to 80 per cent imp rovement . However, 90 per cent of the 250 site. monitored for pollutants by the U. S. Geological Survey have not I improved or have worsened. "There have been a handful of improvements, where we accompHshed what we set out to do," Commoner said. " And this handful has not just statisti· ca lly, but literally, led t o successful changes biologically." The problem is in the approach to the problem, according to Commoner. and hence the sarcas tic - new physical law." .. Environmental pollution is an incu rable disease - it can onl y be preve nted ." he said. "We have adopted the approac h of auacking the symptoms and not the ommoner then cited the improvement in lead pollution. "'It is not that we arc driving less. or have fewer cars - the answer was to take the lead out of gasoline. he said . "Lead is not produced by a natural process, it is produced in the process of making gasoline. The problem is in the system of production ... In what seemed like an ironic statement, Commoner said he opposes the inslitution of environmental standards. "The moral is that it's okay to pollute the environment . that pollution is 'the price we p ay for technology .' " he ex plai ned . ''The conseq uence of setttng standards is that you will never get fun her reductions." There as also a moral side to setting environmental standards, according to Co mmoner. Determining the cost of bringing pollutants down to the level required by the standards requires the estimation of the cost in dollars of a human life. The government required such an estimation in order to improve the cost-diectiveoess of these environmental standards. " What you are worth is based on your earning power. This value is greatest for a white: male. For women. it is less, and for blacks, even less. and so on." he sajd . "The equation gives the value of a human life and therefore the amount of money wonh spending to save it. which is less if you are poor.·· He pointed out that the majority of toxic dumps are near poor communities. ommoncr poi~ucd his finger at the production system as the origin of pollution problems. "If we all drove Model A Fords, there would be no smog," he claimed. "After W6rld War II. C • See Commoner, page 1• Greiner apologizes for oversight in Pub decision By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Slafl • rovost William Grein~r last week apologized to students for the apparent oversight in keep· ing them informed about the conversion of Wilkeson Pub to space for the Geography Department. Speaking before the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, Greiner cited the need for better imegration of students and the Office of Vice Provost for Stu· dent Affa irs in such planning. adding th at a task force, to involve students. will now look at the pub issue. But Greiner said it's now time to move forward in determining better use of El~­ cott's scattered and under-used spaces, in a project that will hopefully result in a much better pub elsewhere in El~cott, to be in place by the fall. Greiner said the Wilkeson Pub issue highlights the U nivcrs.i ty's overall space crunch. in Which lab space, especially, is at a premium .. Ellicott, Greiner said. is ... an asset ·an terms of space, but a liability in terms of the way the space is organized." He said the University will look at Ellicott "for increasingly intensive use" over the next 10 years. In the provost's view, many students have a "love-hate relationship" with Ellicott, which, he said, was built in "the days of megastructures where half· P thought-out plans got put in to stonc"'a nd before their implicalions could be fully considered. Ellicott is "over-<lesigned " and needs "'systematic attention•• to make its spaces more conducive to University needs, Greiner stated. For instance. there are more cafeterias than are needed . and 50,000 sq uare feet of activity space is scauered throughout the complex. This space is, for the most pan, not well-used , ndr is it sec ure and well~quipped, he said . "In the long-term, we'd like to regroup· the space to create the vibrant space I think the planners had in mind but couldn\ quite pull off." Greiner also said the planned student union building is UB's highest construction priority. conc~te" B ut Greiner's statement brought a rejoinder from Tom Rogers, resident advisor of Spaulding, a member of the Housing/ Residence Life Office staff, and academic council chair of SA. The pub is more than a restaurant, Rogers said. Rather, it <sa plaa: for dances, frequent appearances by comedians and the like, and a gathering place for persons of color. Rogers said students an: not dissatisfied with the design of the building. Rather, they are unhappy about what they see as ... the consistent loss of student space ... He detailed the co nversion of several Ellicott spaces to academic use. adding that only the pub and 170 Fill· more are sui table for Ellicott-wide sludent activities. Further. the lecture hall ambience of 170 Fillmore makes it unsuitable for the kind of entertainment now available in the pub. Vice Provost for Student Affairs Robert L. Palmer said his office is aware of student co ncerns about the pub and ··will involve them in examining the space issue." Having adequate space for stude nts is essential. he said. P,a.lmer said there was no conscious oversight in not involving students in the Wilkeson Pub plans. He said that at any given time. there are "'hundreds of projects going on. many of which never materialize ... Greiner and PaJmer agreed that st udents hadn\ been consulted in a timely manner. but said the proposal to mbve Geography into Wilkeson had come to ..near closure" more quickly than expected. But G. Scolt Danford of Architecture and Planning said he could not "imagine any other unit that would be displaced until we had another place (for them) ·in mind. When it comes to students. we treat them with arrogance." Victor Doyno of English asked about the apparent urgency for the Wilkeson Pub conversion. Greiner cited the need to free up the wet space in Fronczak. currently occupied by the Geography Department, which needs only dry labs. If act ion were taken immediately, the provost explained, the Geography Department could be relocated into larger and more adequate space and the wet labs could be freed for more appropriate use. C laude Welch of Political Science said "it's a damned good idea · to look at the re-use of Ellicolt." William Miller of Dental Medicine, the Faculty Senate chair-<lcct, urged Greiner to tour Ellicott. Robert Palmer pointed out that Dennis Black of his office does so regularly. Greiner said "this campus isn \ going to see any additional teaching/ research space for about ·four years. However, there will be additional student space in about two and a half years." The Geography Depanment, Greiner concluded, has needs that can\ be satisfied by Fronczak.

T R obhe-Grillet neatly divides his work into three stylis~ic periods, a grouping he considers reflective of French literacy movements of the · last four decades. The lirst period, the new novel, includes his award-winning books, The Voyeur( l955 ) and The Erasers(1953). in which critic;:,. Roland Barthes saw a revolutionary aspect comparable to the "surrealist atlack on rationalit~" A period of "generalized epiphanies," is how an Italian critic characterized the new novel, says Robbe-Grillet, intent on making himself understood . "He thought that the first period was in fact in some way a contin uation of the epiphany experiences of Joyce, and also of Camus and Sartre." In Jealousy. a first-person narrator/ husband jealously watches his wife and th e man he presumes to be her lover through the slits of a jalousie window: Agonizingly detailed and detached descriptions of the movements of a hand, a centipede on a wall, the rows of banana trees on a plantation', tell the ..story" of Jealousy, stripped of conventional dramatic progress, psychological analysis, and plot-furthering dialogue. · · "Jealousy is focused on one character, one consciousness; in this very specific sense, there are some links between Jealousy and L'Etranger by Camus," says Robbe-GriUet, winding a finger iri' his long grey-black hair. hair. then settles back contentedly, one leg slung over the arm of his chai r. Here he puzzles over a question before formulating a careful answer, there he bursts into an answer midway into Prof. LeHuene'}'s translation. • " In the second period, the nouveau nouveau roman, this unique conscious~ ness disappears and it is as if there is a fight between several ·coosciousnesses to take power in the text itself," he says. " The text as a place wher~ things happen becomes more and more important." The second period, to which his Project for a Revolution irt. New York ( 1970) belongs, is both more revolutionary and more interesting than the first, RobbeGtillet observes.

While his cogent and skillfully wriuen anicle produces a great deal of heat, it predictably emits liule light. In a co mmendable auempt to suppon Dan Majchrzak and members of the Law School's Federalist Society in the recent controversy over JAG Corps recruitment and the Law School's sexual orientation anti-discrimination policy, Mr. Miller falls victim to the very alleged ..ad hominl!m attacks .. of which he accuses 1ht Law School. Unforiunately for Mr. Miller, once this transparent vitriolic abuse is given the weight it deserves, his posilion reveals a pathelic shallowness and ignorance that undermine 1he whole.structure of his thesis . Evidently. Mr. Miller prefers the path of rhetorical excess over critical analysis of the interrelationship between' law, poli tics, and society. As the premise upon which he seeks to bui ld his argument. Mr. Miller adopts an analytical positivism which , like .. fundamentalists of every stripe. he assumes to be p rima facit evidence conclusive in his favor. But this question~begging hermeneutic is a premise which none of us should be prepared' to accept if. for no other reason, law and morality are not hermetic inqu iries. Perhaps Mr. Miller should be forgiven his naive legal positivism since hls j urisprudence is so fundamentally flawed . Legal positivism foists the delusion th.-.t legal principles represent a determinate system .under which we operate and to which we must appeal for final authoritative guidance. But th is is an i.llusion because law does not exist in a vacuum. It is simply not a tenable position to maintaJn that legal principles as they are currently articulated in statutes are the normative e~bodiment of social ideals and therefore require slavish assent and unquestioned promulgation. In a basic Wbitcheadian sense. law is process. tnfonned and formed in a crucible of political debate fired by conflicting societal values. There is nothing else. To believe otherwise is an abdication of social responsibility and to live in what Sanre termed .. mauvaise foi .. or .. bad faith " by an unquestioned acceptance of received wisdom from an alleged authoritative so u~.

Significantly, almost every major denomination hu repudiated this hideous legacy. I can hardly im8gine that this is whal Mr. Miller has in mind . While it ccnainly is the case that the greater pan of Western ecclesiastical history is rep,lete with instances of pogroms against hom~uab. those persecutionl were sporadic and jnvariably motivated by the extra~theological designs of ambitious clerics and secular potentates. Similar to the experiences of other historic scapegoats of Western Civiliz.ation. gays and lesbians · enjoyed periods of relative official indilTerence.

The charge of homosexuality was a convenient device in the hands of corrupt or fanatical prosecutors who were not in the least motivated by pious devotion or moral .. purity. Neither was the Church always hostile toward gays and lesbians. Homosexuality was not an issue for the early Church. Moreover, not only was it not an issue, but the Church assimilated gays and lesbians into its community in an affirmative and positive way. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, gays and lesbians lived a prcc:arious existence into the High Middle Ages. but were never prosecuted with any of the vigor one might have expected. This history has been lhoroughly resean:hed by Or.

EDITOR: U nder our legal system, these judicial decisions are a part of the law of the land and they cast doul)t on the lawfulness of the military's recent detenni.nation .that mili~ary service and homoscxuaJuy are mcompattble. To be sure, these decisions may be ~viewed. and rev.ised in higher couns. But the judicial rulings should give pause to those: wbo without hesitd'tion find the justifications and explanations for the military's ban on homosexuals to be venerable or compelli ng. Evtn judges · upholding the- exclusion un~er .t~e . Constitulio n do so because JUdi Cial rev1ew of military policy is exceedingly limited , not because the military's explanation is pers uasive. As a public university, we would be co nstitutionally (and morally) bound to refrain from cooperation with a military recruitment policy uflimately found to be in connict with Our fundamental law, 1he Constitution. These judicial decisions arc not binding upon us now, for they deal with discha~ge of long-term armed forces members with distinguished service records , not initial recruits, and they do not cover 1his ,geographical area. But they serve to remind us that the responsible identification and determination of .. law"' in the united States entails a more sensitive process than the unthinking. mechanical recitation of statutes or regulations. hether a universily, public ~r priva~e, is legally obliged to extend 1ts serv1ces and facilities to the military for recruitment purposes does n'ot depend on the constitutional validi ty of the military's discriminatory policy or the .. rhetorical invocations" of legal pundits. Co ngJUS and the Depanment ·of Defense have been unusually explicit on this matter. 37 USC §30/ (a) (2) (A), enacted before the military's banning of homosexual women and men~ requires denial of DOD funds to institutions that do not provide placement services to military recruiters. After the adoptlon of the military ban on homosexuals, tbe DOD in 1984 narrowed its regulations under this statute to target. the fund ing prohibition only at identifiable llnits or subdivisions of universities that restrict military recruiters J1 C.F.

I have always hated th e dicho tomy th at some people make bet ween research and teaching." he says. His publications bear th a t out. Along wi th journal reports, there are articles on better labs for undergraduates, suggestio ns for how to improve textbooks, and plans for making a college cam pus a more perso nal and warmer envi ronment. Reichert clajms he is by no means alo ne in his desire to improve the undergraduate ex perience . .. It's a rare faculty perso n, it see ms to me. who really doesn't tver want t o deal wi th und ergrad uat es. There are some. but ' they are pretty rare."

" I thin k the majority of the faculty care about undergraduate education. Some possi bl y put in more time and effort and are more visible." o Reichert, the possibilities and attractiveness of a univers ity are without limits. " A ' university is a really privileged place to be. I think faculty members at this school, or any major university, ought to say, once a month or once a week, ' we 're really lucky.' It's a real playfield. "Where else can you find a selection of the brightest people - students, facult y, staff and administration?" Although he's a scientist, Reichen 's love of the humanities brings him into buildings rarely frequented by members · T T He can be irreverent, but he's quite serious about teaching: "/ hate the dichotomy that" some make between research and teaching." of the Faculty of Natural Scie nces and Mathematics ... I've even gone to my colleagues' classes at times - !thought I knew so mething about Hamlet until I sat in on those lectures. Then I realized I knew noth ing about the play. Nothing. " I've thought to myself that when I reti re. maybe I 11 do nothing but go to the English Department and si t in on classes on literature, get a chance to read so me of the classics, and see them analyzed ." ight now, one of Reichert's major focuses is on developing the science for non-science majors section of the Undergraduate College curriculum. He has been working on a draft outlining so me of the classes and is also asking faculty members outside the sciences to give him a hand once the program is impleme nted. R " I would love to see so me of my colleagues from Arts and Letters and Social Sciences coming in - and I'm not talking necessarily about philosophers of science a nd historians of science, who probably have been exposed to a fair amo unt of scie nce - I'm talking about people in literature and fine arts. people who never were co ncerned about science in their lives who arc now kicking themselves in the butt . . . I think they wo uld be useful to the fac ult y teaching. We co uld unde rstand when and where we 're going way over their heads. "I want somt of them on the co mmittee, a nd I want some of them to sit in on my co urse. It wo uld sca re the hell out of me, but it would delight me. And I, of course, would say, 'let's go out and have a beer. How'd that lecture go?' And if they'd say. 'oh that's fine,' I'd say. ' uh-huh , tell me, what did you !cam?' " T he whole purpose of this curriculum, Re ichert said, is to de-mystify science for the non-scientists. ..There are lots of th ings we want to teach. We want to instill in those kids the feeling that A, the scientific enterprise is an exciting one, and B, that they are ... not barred from this dimension of life because they donl know mathematics, because they're not scientists .... Reichert feels it is basically unfair to students to allow them to graduate without this knowledge. It keeps them from participating fully in life in his VIeW . .. Here was this supernova explosion, for instance. I mean everybody in the world should have been just Oying higher than a kite. Here we have one of the · great cataclysmic events of the universe he athletics program is not the only thing Reichert would like to change. ..The engineering curriculum is severely overloaded, and (the engineering faculty) know it. Every faculty member in the engineering school, I think, honestly wo uld say that it sho uld be a five-year program. They all ad mit it. " But nobody wan ts to go first. If UB became the first five-year school, why would yo u s,pend five years here if you could go to another school a nd get the same degree in four?" Reic hert said the change will happen even tually. " My sen~ is that when it happens, it will happen all a t once." I f there is one program on campus that Reichert is most closely associated with, it is the Nuclear War Prevention St ud ies Group and its accompanying anti-SDI lectures. Reichen sees two problems with SDI. He doesn l think it will work. He is also afraid t he SDI program wi ll destabilize the current political and m ilitary situation. As far as he is conccnted, people who work on SDI just because th at's where the money is. deserve no respect. .. 1 get very angry at some of my colleagues who tell me privately that 'SD I is foolish, and it wonl work, and we al!):now that. but if they are going to give money, 111 take it. 'I guess the world has always had people without•scruples. ""If you take the money. that 1.n eans you support the program. You can l d o it both ways," Reichert said, shaking his head. As for people who really believe in S DI , "I only ask of them that they debate with me, that they expose themselves publicly for it." With respect to the charges that SOl research is ·classified and its findings restricted, Reichert says, Kthe faculty se nate should de bate it. I think it ought to be a public issue. I don l know why the senate has not debated it. If I wen: a member of the senate, I think, unless I were persuaded differently, I would vote against that research.

Brown charged. "Ten billion 'dollars," according to Brown, .. was cut from such programs .ove r a four-year period alone. In fact , all anti-poverty programs - I'm talking about housi ng. public assistance, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps were weakened ... And not only were these programs weakened , but it became harder and harder for families to qualify for them, Brown said. For instance, "federal policies require people to get rid of their assets before they can qualify for assistance." Brown said . He went on to quote a nurse at a medical clinic in Waterloo, Iowa: .. People are required to get poorer (for example, to get rid of their farm mach inery and even their land) before they can get help. We put them in a bollomless pit." A final factor contributing to the hunger epidemic, said Brown, are our tax policies. "The poor should not have to pay a higher . proportion of their income in taxes than the wealthy. uwe can end hunger in our country, .. Brown stated ... through a combination of decent paying jobs, federal nutrition programs, and tax policies that shift money back down Athe income scale. "And we don'·• he added, "need new bureaucracies to do this. We simply need to strengthen the programs we have and also to eliminate barriers - for instance, the rules that would bar a farm .Camily from gelling assistance because they own a tractor ...

M.D .. and hiS collc.igues in the Harvard based Physician Task Force on Hunger in America, while 1n vcst1ga ting hunger across the nation. Brown, a member of the facult y at the Harvard School of Public Health. spoke last Thursday at Buffalo State College about hunger in America. His lecture was supported by the World Hunger Interest Group (WHIG) of UB. According to Brown. author of Living Hungry in America, scenes like the ones described above are increasing in the United States , despite .. the picture of growing national prosperity.There are more hungry people in America right now· than "at any time from 1969 to 1980," he added. One popular explanation for this epidemic of hunger, said Brown, is the .. feminization" of poverty. However, the female-headed household "is not a principal cause of poverty, though it is a factor," Brown noted. In fact, since 1978, !be year when poverty began to increase so · dramatically, "the feminization of poverty has declined slightly," he said. "The real increase in poverty bas been among two parent families . Thus it is to nding hunger in America would also not require more wealth than the country possesses, according to Brown. .. We are not a poor nation, .. he declared . ''We do not have a resource problem but a priority problem. Too much of our wealth goes toward destruction, toward things that do not promote life, health, and well-being. .. There are real choices we have to make in this country," choices that were: covered up in the last presidential election, s.aid Brown, with its emphasis on "superfluous" issues such as ... prison furloughs, who salutes the Oag more, and ' o's a member of the ACLU ." He added : "We can decide whether a B-1 Bomber is more important than a child's lunch. A child asks only for enough to eat, yet we have more: weapons than we can ever usc ... Brown emphasized that Americans must begin to "demaod more (in terms of federal aid for the poor) from their senators, state legislators, and members of Congress. Public policy changes always co me about when pressure is put on from the grass roots." E the econom y and tax policies that we have to look to understand poverty .... We have to peel away the veneer of national prosperity." A ccording to Brown. one important cause of the hunger epidemic is the increase in the cost of living in proportion to the minimum wage, which has not been raised since 1981. The cost of living has risen by over 30 per cent since the beginning of the decade, while the minimum wage has remained fixed at $3.35 per hour, he said. Part of the rationale for the low minimum wage, Brown noted, is that it provides an entrance for young people into the job market. But 70 per cent of minimum wage earners are ad ults .... We are talking about breadwinners when we talk about minimum wage workers... said Brown. An adult "breadwinner" working 40 hours a week a t minimum wage earns a lillie less than $7,000 a year. which is over S2,00o less than the S9,000 poverty level income set by the government for a family of three. "No head of a household should receive poveny level wages for working 40 hours a week." Brown declared . Another significant factor contributing to the hunger epidemic, according to Brown. is the downscaling of wages in the U.S. economy during this decade . " By 1987, real wages were lower than in any year in the 70s,- Brown said. " In fact, the Joint Economics Committee of Congress has said that there has been a total slippage of real wages in the work ·force. "The number of people who work but remain in poverty has gone up by 50 per cent since the beginning of this decade," Brown continued . "Of the 13 million new jobs created between 1980 and 1986, for example. over eigh t million of them arc at wages less than $7,000 a year." 4D Ultrasound test can detect infant kidney problems outine ultrasound screeni ng of infants could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment significant yet .. silent" urinary tract problems in more than 47,000 infants born annually in the U.S., according to UB researchers.

The UB researcbeB sai<l'lhat if other studies show similar results, the medical profession should consider recommending that the use of ultrasound to check infants for urinary tract problems become a routine pediatric screening R or procedure. The cost of the test, which can be done in less than 10 minutes, ;., about $35. The researchers, led by Jacob M. Steinhart, M.D., UB clinical associate professor of pediatrics, turned to ultrasound to detect a group of problems that account for the highest incidence of human birth defects. An e:timated 10 per cent of all humans are born with some · form of genitourinary problem. Despite that prevalence, the researchers said that in private practice they coptinued to encounter ...significant numbers of children in whom renal disease had escaped diagnosis until an acute illness, perhaps unrelated, prompted invesliga·tion of the urinary tract." hey added, "We decided to underT take this study to determine whether it would be feasible and cost effective to screen apparently health y infants with ultrasound in an effon to diagnose renal abnormalities that might be helped by early treatment ... The researchers concl uded that ... there are a significant number of infants harboring silent urinary tract abnormalities that can be detected by ultrasound at a relatively low cost." Referring to the six infants in whom significant problems were identified , they added: "it seems likely that the monetary cost as well as the morbidity would have been greater had these infants' problems not been diagnosed until they had become infected and / or progressed 10 varying degrees of renal insufficiency .... Referring to the incidence of significant problems of one in 73 in their study, they said "one could extrapolate that, of the approximately 35 million babies born in the United Stales each year, more than 47,000 ~ould have significant urinary tract pathologic conditions."

He likens their experience to that of presentday Third-World peoples. During the years when the whole of Ireland was a part of the British empire. explains Thompson, the British suppressed formal culture. The Irish were forbidden to have books. for instance. until early in the 19th century. Eighteenth century penal laws prohibited everything from entering the learned professions, to 'tlWning a horse, to wearing certain kinds of clothes. Priests and teachers were put to death . .. It was punitive ethnic disenfranchistment." says Thompson. Through the early decades of the 19th century, he relates, Irish education was known as "hedge school," becau~ it literally took place outdoors in the fields. This suppression of formal culture, coupled with Irish poverty, precluded their having books and led therefore to a rich oral tradition. By STEPHEN GARMHAUSEN Reporter StaH ntil the beginning of this century, there used to be in almost every Irish village a storyteller, a person called a shanachie. He might be a clothmaktK: or a tailor in the village. The villagers would gather in somcone's kitchen and drink hot tea and third -rail whiskey and listen to his tales. The Jharwchi~ was supposed to be able 10 tell stories through the long winter nights, from Halloween until St. Patrick 's Day, without repeating. Professor Richard Thompson, a UB graduate now with tbe English Department at Canisius College. who leads summer tours through Ireland , says it's the pain of oppression. of centuries spent under the heel of the British, that produced institutions like the shanachie and which makes Ireland suclr a fertile land for talented writers. The period known as the Irish literary revival began in the last quarter of the 19th century as the Irish reasserted their cultural pride, and it produced celebrated literary figures in numbers extraord inary for such a small land. Some of the best plays of the 20th century come from the revival, works by J .M. Synge and Sean O'Casey. And W.B. Ytals is responsible for some of the century 's finest poetry. U I Sean O'Casey A cco rding to Thompson, Irish literary c ulture owes much to the ... feudal, repressed mentality" that arose from rish mastery of the word. explains Thompson, grows in part from the inclination to revenge themselves against the British. Since they were forced to learn English, he says, "there was a desire that they were really going to beat their masters at it." That desire and the feelings of suppression helped fuel the literary revival. By the late 19th century, the power of the privileged Anglo-Irish population was waning and figures like Yeats and dramatist Lady Isabella Augusta Gregory Books •NEW AND IMPORTANT SELF-cONSCIOUSNESS - Memotrs by John Updike (Knopf; SI8.9S).

The first Catholic university, the National University of Ireland, was established in 1908, and by then the movement, as Thompson says, "was really perking." II influenced or generated literary stars such as James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, J .M . Synge, and Sean O'Casey. Yeats and Lady Gregory also contributed to the 1902 founding of the Irish National Theatre Society, which was devoted to indigen.ous dra:ma, and in 1910, they acquired Dublin's Abbey Theatre. The acting company would tour the U.S. ~vera! times. This burst of brillianoc would last for just a few decades before Ireland's restrictive social climate. under leader Eamon De Valera. drove nearly all of the literary luminaries abroad by the 1920s. But the literary tradition remains ingrained in Irish culture. Modern Ireland. says Thompson, continues to chum out writers at a prolific rate. In this little land of some five million people, he says, it seems that every third one is a writer. The craft, he says, is still very much respect~ among the Irish . "This is ao agrari'an country, yet the people in the country always say, 'one of them writing fellas lives down the road.'

SASU rep resentative Jim Antonevich would like students who will be traveling so uth next week fo r sun , sand, and pos· si bly sex, to keep this statistic in mind . .. Spring Break in Florida is a melting pot,"' said Antonevich .... Students from a lot of differ<:nt geographical a reas come into sexual ~o n tact." The pro blem is com pounded, he ad ded, by the fact that many of these students will be drinking and ~ ngaging in activities that cloud good judgement. Worried about the possi ble conse- quenc:Cs of such injudicious sexual intermingling, Antonevich applied for a grant from Sub-Board I to finance an AIDS Awareness Day for the week befor<: spring break. The money will be used to set up AIDS information tables at various locations on campus on March 16. At these tables, student volunteers will be responding to questions about AIDS, in addition to distributing co ndoms and pamphJets containing information abo ut AIDS and guidelines for safe sex. · W bile a major purpose of AIDS Awareness Day is ...to ann students traveling south with koowledge (about safer sexual practices), we would also like them to think about their values, befor<: they get into a bot situation involving drugs, alcohol, or a persuasive partner," said Sarah Bibr, associate director of University Health Services. " And if stude nts do choose to have sex, " she said, "we hope that they will take the initiative in discussing safer sex. If the partner is not willing to discuss it, then they sho uld reconsider the r<:lationship." Furthermore, Bibr contin ued ...students need to keep in mind that they don' live in a vacuum - they're not only hurting themselves (by having unsafe sex), but also those who love them. They that they could be passing the virus along to others in their ignorance, they also have less control over their ability to combat the disease. Said Bihr: " AIDS should be looked at as a chronic illness that can be managed with proper care, rather than as a death sentence. The H IV positive person actually does have some control over the remaining yean of his or her life with the help of both traditional drug therapies and non-traditional therapies (such as biofeedback. vis ualization , music therapy, and massage.)" · The main point of AIDS Awareness Day, however, is to get people to th ink before they leap into a motel bed with a' tan and attractive stranger. Co ncluded Antonevich: " If we can get one person to think c&R:fuUy about what he or she is doing before having sex. th is will not have a ll been for naught." ~ must keep in mind the de vastation (A IDS) brings to family and friends ." Students should be sexually cautious not only out of r<:gard for "significant others," Bihr added, but also out of "regard for themselves. It's a matter of self-esteem." In addition to values, Bihr stR:Ssed "a well ness way of life." This includes not abusing alcohol and drugs, which weaken the immune system and diminish its power to combat the AIDS virus. B esides answering questions about AIDS and safe sex, the student volunteers at the tables will also provide information for students who are worried that they may have alr<:ady contracted AIDS, said Bihr.

Lerman is a visi ting professo r of creative writing at U B. and has established herself as one of the best novelists in the co untry. Her first novel, Call Me /shtar. is considered to be America's first comtemporary feminist novel.

I T he subject of her most recent work is the struggle of a rabbi 's son with the faith of his ancestors.

Louis and several ministers were opposed to ente r· ing the conflict on financial grounds. while the military nobility echoed the critics of Fleury and called such a policy ..timid ... After Louis informed the patriots th at France would withdraw support. his eabinet plunged into confusion. Murph y said the war ministers called the king 's decision .. shameful" and an .. act of co ward ice." They charged that lack of money had never hindered the Bourbons of the past; it was foolish distortion of priorities for Louis to sacrifice their opportunity to demonstrate noble character to such .. bourgeois values .... Despite his opponents' resignations from the cabinet, Louis defeoded his views that war would have sidetracked all plans fo r much needed financial security. that France was in no position to interfere with its neighbors. Murphy st~sed Louis' understandable fear of being " mousetrapped into a suicidal double war" arid his recognition of the possibility that the war could be long-lasting and exhaust France's means. "His decision was not fundamentally very signifi~." Murphy said. "The Dutch palriots returned to their earlier policy without French aid. But it was a blow to foreign p~tige. The French monarch had been bypassed as arbiter. " By JEFFREY TREBB Repor1er Stan quipped with the caveat, "I'm no monarchist," Orville Murphy is setting out to revise current interpretations of Louis XVI. .. Far from being the chronically incompetent sovereign of tradition, he was actually far more insightful than many of his contemporaries. respecting essentials in a time of troubles... E The UB history professor's Sunday lecture. " France's Commitment to Great Power Status: A Cause of the Revolutio n." was part o f a continuing celebration of the bicentennial of the French Revolutio n sponso red by the University at Buffalo Alumni Association and the Cnd~ Cullurel de Longue Francoise de Buffalo. Murph y placed his accent on Louis XVI's failed attempls to reconcile mitltary might with fmanciaJ means, his (soon to be published) theory an admitted challenge to textbook characterizati o ns of th e king as an uxorious puppet With mo re passion for the hunt than for government. T he profess or stress ed that the general I 8th century tendency toward increased military organization and power was particularly acute within France . .. The size of the arm y increased · fi ve limes from 1600 to 1760." Murphy said . .. by which time France had accumu· lated debt s and co mmitments beyond those of any other European power. " ading fast was one of the oldest and most respected traditi ons in French diplomacy. the country's role as "arbiter of Europe." The title was not only descriptive of the country's military and pol· itical aspirations but was actuall y one of several bestowed on Louis XVI. Murphy stated that the reason France was less able to play the exalted roles of "policeman and judge" as the century progressed was in pan due to the fact that she co uld no longer afford to play the role of .. treasurer . ... Direct and indirect taxes. loneries. annuities. domestic and foreign loans: the French military was becoming more dependent on these sources of funding even while it was bringing in increasingly less money. Then, in 1774, at a time when the government was finding it more and more difficult to use schemes such as repudiating the debt by declaring bankruptcy, Louis XVI came to the throne with What Murphy called a " notion of the public debt as a tQ_Jst. Past methods (of avoiding or hiding the debt) were disavowed ... Murphy said that Louis first sought to avoid higher taxes, which shifted the burden of debt to the next generation, and turned instead to the international money markets in Hamburg, Geneva, and Amsterdam. Despite the abundance of capital at the time favoring the borrower. France 's poor credit rating forced higher interest rates than even the Russians had to pay. Because the cost of financing such wars as the American Revolution were met exclusively through loans rather than tb.rough higher taxes, the servicing of these debts became a regular peacetime expenditure, according to Murphy. He said thilt in 1786 over 50 per cent of the French budget was devoted to the debt, undermining both the integrity and confidence of diplomatic efforts. In ~poose to the pending crisis, Louis attempted to make tax collecting more efficient, Murphy stated. Unfortunately, the money the government received from the General Fanners, the ftnanciers who paid the Crown an F ouis was again frustrated in his attempts to raise taxes. When the nobles finally consented, it was too late. said Murphy, since crop failu~ and the ensuing loss of tax revenue had already compounded the problems of the ailing treasury. Murphy said ·in conclusion that he would like to revise the conventional opinion of the revolutionaries who saw Louis as a tyrant and th judgment of historians who see him as inept and ineffectual. The professor believes that Louis was in fact quite realistic in his attempt to relate ends to means and his efforts to come to terms with crises France had never before faced . Conscious of his theory's contemporary implications, Murphy closed his disc ussion in agreement with Paul Kennedy's central thesis. "International power is not simply a ~ult of technology and size," Murphy said. "It's also based on less obvious factors such as a healthy economy and the maintenance of government credit. Economic perils were the Achilles' heel of France on the dawn of the Revolution. " $ L ad vance in exchange for the right to col· lect direct and indirect taxes, failed to keep pace with the economy. Murphy noted that the annual income th~ French government received from the Farmers was four years out of date. Some historians believe Louis could have saved himself had he raised iaxes. After all, England, too, financed its military on borrowed money. Yet Prime Minister William Pitt always raised existing taxes or initiated new ones to cover expenses. Murphy contended that Louis' inability to follow the same path was less an absence of subtle statesman· ship, and more a testament to France's dangerous economic situation. T he nobles and upper-middle classes, he explained, were powerful enough ~o resist new taxes which they k.new could only fall on them. The rural poor, by contrast, were not simply overbur· dened with taxes, but even ""persecuted"" with them. ..Increased taxes meant increased pauperization," Murphy said. "It was no longer possible to squeeze blood out of a turnip." Louis then moved to reduce commitments in the manner of Cardinal de Fleury. Murphy reminded the audience of the cardinal's peace-<lirected policies that provided France with a much needed ~pile "after the wars of Louis XIV. He added that Fleury maintained the modest prosperity by holding revenues and expenditures in near equilibrium. I n 1787, Louis reached a fragile detente and even a plan for naval disarmament with George Ill of England. But Murphy said England and France were still unable to break out of their rigid pattern of historical distrust. It fell apart when France mildly supported a patriotic movement in The Netherlands. The patriots at one point detained the wife of the reigning Dutch stadtholder. Unfortunately for their cause, she happened to be the sister of Frederick William II, king of Prussia. When the English ambassadors sided with Frederick and the stadtholder against the patriots, a........... COMMONER . . . . . . Detroit decided to build bigger cars, which need more powerful engines. They raised the compression ratio, and tlie engines produced nitrogen oxide. which is hit by sunlight and produces smog. "The locus of the problem was the meeting at General Motors when they decided to make bigger cars . .. because the return on the investment is bigger with bigger cars. The sole criteria that a corporation uses in deciding what to produce is the effect on the profits and the effect on the market. Decisions are made for private reasons that have enormous social effects .... He strongly warned that control will not work in trying to combat the greenhouse effect. He called for a "reorganiza- tion of energy production," adding that "the only way to prevent the greenhouse effect is to shift to renewable fuels, solar fuels, which means completely rebuilding the entire global energy system." Commoner said that "there are ways that we can (improve the environment), if we can break· the Reagan taboo of 'hands ofT tbe free market.· " He encouraged people to become actively involved in environmental issues: "What we must do is get out in larger numbe~ and say 'we want to solve the problems and we know bow.'

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

I'm not saying a nybod y in New York has ever played games with fees, but I know that sort of thing goes o n in other states." State-funded aid is also a factor, Sample to ld the co uncil. ..

One state stand s out from all the o th ers ... an the degree of state-funded financial aid provided to college students. That state is New York . "'New York taxpayers provide mo re State-funded student aid than the next three biggest states combined.

Speaki ng before Thursday's University Co uncil meeting, Sample said that of eigh t selected public univers ities surveyed for their in-S tate tuition and fees fo r undergradua tes, SUNY was the lowest. Penn S tate was the highest with SJ ,610 a yea r. M innesota and Ohio State were in the middle with about $2,000 in annual tu ition and fees . Annual in-State tuition for SUNY un,d ergraduates is $1,449. .. In so me states, such as California ... the tu ition ... is fixed in the constitution at a very low dollar amount. Another chart might look at tuiti on only in various states. And we might find in California that the tuiti on was ve ry low.

FSEC endorses opening 10 honors slots 'or transfers • Under the proposal, each transfer student admitted to the program would get $1,000 annually for two years By ANN WHITCHER Reponer Slalf ollowing a thoughtful debate last week , the Faculty Senate Executive Committee endorsed . a plan to extend the University Hono rs Program to ten transfer students a year, beginning in the fall . Under the proposal, each 1ransfer student admilled to the program would receive SI ,OOO annually for two years. The principal criterion for acceptance would be a student's college or un,iversity grade point average. Honors Program Director Clyde Herreid told the FSEC that UB is now anracting some excellent trans fer students. He acknowledged that some facult y have wondered if the proposal is fair to stodents already enrolled. · But Herreid explained that the current ho nors program is set up for recruitment only. "That's all we're in a position to do. The transfer component is only a very. very small pan of a much larger thing that we're trying to do, and that is to set up an honors program for the students who are currently here . ··sut that program is so large - in terms of the student body that would be potentially eligible - and would require so many changes - that we can't do it rapidly. But it is simple fo r us to set in place this small component of the transfer group right away." F enni s Malone of Engineering agreed that the honors program is now a recruitment device. and that immediate implementation of a Uoiversi ty·wide honors program isn't feasible. But these facts, he said , "do not out- · D v~ry weigh the bad message that we are in fact sending our own students. ~Frankly, that message boils down to, 'gee, you were kind of dumb to come here, because you could have gone to ~n easier place, done very well, and then not only would we accept you, well pay you. ' And that message is just bad." Malone has "no pro.blem" with students transferring here from the likes of Yale, Princeton, or Purdue. But be could not say tlie sam.e for transfers from community colleges, when speaking of · disciplines such as his own. ~I'm not saying there are no good students ·at community colleges, of course not. (But) my background in looking at data indicates to me that a 3.8 at some community college . . .is not equivalent to the engineering physics program at U B.

The Teotihuacan figurines that Barbour examined came from collections at the Buffalo Museum of Science, the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, tho American Museum of Natural History in New York, and a collection at Pennsylvania State University. In his analysis, Barbour found that before apartment compounds were established, women manufactured the figurines. But after the compounds were set up, men took over production. And in the last years of the city, women again began producing figurines. I Wh y did women regain dominance in production? .. You notice a lot more military symbolism in the iconography of that time, " Barbour says. "Maybe the males were lighting, or perhaps there was more equality in the crafts then. n arbour hopes to expand on the present Teotihuacan collection by excavating a large figurine workshOp that .has been found at the site of the former city. He plans in several years to apply for a grant to fund the work, which will include modern physical anthropology and cultural anthropological studies of figurine craftsmen and their social . organizations.. The excavation witt generate studies of the social organization of a craft bousehold that have never been done before, B production in a si ngle workshop. The work with the prints from Sarab and Jarmo ... has important impllcations outside Mexico, as shown by the interest of Braidwood and Morales," Barbour says. Braidwood 's interest in Barbour's research is so strong that he wrote a letter to Dale M. Landi, vice president for sponsored programs at UB, urging University support for Barbour"s research. .. I'm sure, · of course, that there are no absolute guarantees that Dr. Barbour will be able to distinguish the sex of the modelers of anci~ nt clay figurines throu gh fingerprint impressions on them, but the experiment is very fnuch worth trying," Braidwood wrote.

The edministration has a valid point in noting the possible lack of authority of the Facully of Law to enact such a policy. However. if the administration wants to ensure· some sense of policy direction, continuity, and consistency, crpccially in the face of past poltcy inconsistencies (i.e , the SOl racan:h question), they have no choice but to decide that the Law School policy is coosistent with lht UB Aatcment on diicriminatioo.

"It's only in lhe past 10-15 years thai we've come to the realization th at there are communicative changes (associated with dementia); nol jusl memory or psychological changes, but specific commurticative changes that have an impact on the individual," says conference coordinator Rosemary Lubinski, associate professor of c;.ommunicative disorders and sciences. These communicative changes affect not only the person with demen tia. but lhe persor!'s family and caregivers, Lubinski noles. The palienl has difficuhy communicating wilh and unders1anding family members and caregivers, who in lurn have trouble underslanding lhe patient, she says. "Tho pe rso n's (palienl's) whole communicative life breaks down. •• The UB symposium is a comprehensive conference that tries to address the basis for the co mmunicative changes associated with dementia and offer suggestions for improvements, Lubinski says, noling lhe emphasis is on family members a nd caregivers. The event is very clinically oriented and does not treat the subjecl solely as a research lopic. Day I - .. Basis for Communicative Changes in Dementia" - will examine the anatomical, cognitjve, and auditory changes associaled wilh dementia. ParlicipaniS will look al the normal aging process and determine what changes are normal a nd what are related to demenlia, Lubinski says. Day II - "Diagnostic and Rehabilitative Considerations" exami nes the impact of dementia o n fam· ily members and lhe members ' perspectives. The session also will look al audite ry lesting and rehabililalion, the nalure and efficacy of communication· treatment and environmental considerations for institutionalized patients.

"Many of lhe st udies lhat have looked allhe d ifficulties of a family caring for an Alzheimer's patienl have looked only al the pbysical difficulties. Communication difficull ies conlribute significanlly lo lhe burden of care for the family." . Orange suggeSied that people who see similar problems in their own relatives do sever~! things. One, is lo help the patienl when he is looking. for a specific word. Two, is to overlook grammatical mistakes lhal he or she mighl make. Three, is lo help the older perSon avoid large groups of people in strange locations with a lot of· background noise. Finally, Orange encourages people no1 to get exasperated and to t ry lo remain calm when dealing with elderly relalives. J .B.

CD �Ma"Cb 9, 1989 Volume :ZO, No. 21 D esign Professor Harold Cohen is in his cluttered first-floor studio , rummaging ~ethodically through huge manila attache cases and piles of documents. He has just a couple of minutes free , and he's chattering about how he can't figure out where the sketch could be. On a nearby work table there's a cardboard model of his u pcoming ex hibit at the Burchfield Art Center. Many of the items in this room will soon be on display . There is a large crimped aluminum sculpture, and expressionistic paintings lie here and there. Against the back wall is a blow-up photo oJ a Latin American child with insect bites around her eyes. And then he's found it - the logo for the Burchfield show. "You see ?" he says, holding it up. "It's a profile of me that's why it's called a 40-year profile. These are all ideas in my head. Not all of my ideas, just some." Inside the profile there's a van, a butterfly wing, a futuristiclooking chair, and numerous other objects. "And they're in my head, see?" He points to the logo. "You can tell it's me because I have a funny shape to my head . It's like an a·n thropoidal head." With that he peers at his guest for a reaction, the omnipresent Brooklyn street-kid grin · on his face .

He has spe nt hjs career trying to impan those values by example. It was during a long childhood illness that Cohen got a push toward his life •s calling.

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

We have to think about how we can meet the need s of people who arc pursuing a higher education later in life, people who are pursutng second careers or new ca.rec:rs .. . Another challe nge , faced by the SUNY system as a whole , is whether or not it can maintain its position as a • See Project 2000, - 2 �Marett 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 20 Conttnued From Page I leader among state-funded university systems. " We 're clearly second behind Califo rnia in terms of higher education, as measured by a whole variety of variables s uch as total number of pos t-baccalaureate degrees awarded, and we now face the prospect of falling back to third o r fourth place." said Greiner. "We don~ have quite the panache that Massachusetts has - which , of course, has a much higher investment by the privat e sector." Furthermore , Greiner added, Texas. Florida , and Arizona are all moving up .. in terms of the factors that indicate a high qualily education system. "If we are going to stay a solid second behind California, we've got to do better with both education and research. " G reiner stated . Unfortunately, he noted , .. this pressure comes at a time when the S tate's policies and economics make it a little fuzzy with regard to how th is is going to occur. The current budget crunch is an indication of that. " rc:iner said that U 8 will also have to determine how to .. seize " what he called .. an explosion of knowledge. There is a revolution happening every G day in just about every field . How are we going to capture that?" He elaborated: " We've got, for exam· pie, a tremendous base in the biological sciences here but we're not pulling it together as effectively as we should . We've got a very good department in the biological sciences, in the health sciences , a strong pharmacy school, and we've got our affiliated institution, Roswell Park . with all that , Buffalo s hould be a premier world class center." Another challenge the University faces , Greiner said , "as society becomes more technological and science continues to burgeon," is in helping people in the sciences to deal with the ethical iss ues they will inevitably encounter in their work. "They are not going to be able to deal with these issues on their own, .. Greiner exp lained. "It's going to take people in the law school and in the humanities to help grapple with those ethical, legal, and moral issues that are going to come o ut of the scien tific revolution ," he said . T be humanities may need help also , Greiner added. Right now "that area is a real hotbed of questions such as: 'What is our culture?' 'How do you define the culture?' 'What should be the cultures the University preserves and transmits?' "Everywhere you 166l:_in the University," Greiner emphasized, "there are jhese great challenges that flow out of the changes in the disciplines and the ;ociety around us." And these challenges are intensified, he said, by factors internal to the University ... Our organizational structure is not the best tool to deal with these changes. We need , for instance. to find ways fa foster more interdisciplinary work. to generate more research and stud y t hat cut across depanmental lines ... q nother mtemal factor that wtll exacerbate th e challenges facing th e Universi ty is what has been referred to as ~the graying of the fac ult y." Much of UB's faculty is middle-aged a nd imminently approaching retirement. Said Greiner: " We can already see that in some department s one-half of the faculty will be retiring in the nex t ten years." Funhermore. "the pipeline coming o ut of Ph .~. programs is no t as robust as it need s to be to deal with th is problem so how are we going to grapple with it?" Greiner asked . .. Will we be imaginative? Will we be able to continue to insist that the route into the academy can only be taken by spanking-new Ph .D .s? Or will we have to retread Ph. D.s from that socalled 'lost generation of scholars'?" All of these factors, both external and internal to U B. are going to make, said Greiner, "the last decade of the century a particularly challenging one. "While the previous decades have had their challenges also ," he continued , " I really think that there are some sea changes hapPening right now with regard to the world and the University. And this means we have to plan more effectively and more rigorously than ever before." A " W e must do this planning, " Greiner continued. ..in ways that originate in the faculty and in the schools. One thing we've learned is that / I . ce ntrally done p anmng d~n~ work Every time we've appointed a blue nb- bon commiuee or had a chief academ 1c adviso r devise a plan for this campw,, 11 fails . And the reason it fails is that 11\ not organic - it does n't grow out of 1hc institut ion." ~ The planning proc~ss .. has got to 10 • valve the faculty thinking about the future of their disciplines in an aggrCS\1\c fashion and then working with the dc::an'. whom I see as the key planning office":· said Greiner. Greiner said there are a numbe r ut "good central mechanisms to coordmJi c the planning process. such "" the Re search Adviso r y Committee . the Faculty Senate, the Graduate School Execu tive Committee , and the Count:d of Deans ... ·However, he reiterated . thl· " key planning has to be done at the unit and sc hool level." Greiner acknowledged that since Cdl·h bod y of facult y has its own priontte >. " may be d ifficult to coordinate so man~ different departmental agend as. H o ~ ­ ever. he sajd .. it's harder not to let pe ople into the planning process. If you don\ have a lot of different people at th e unit · level engaged in thinking ab out 11 . " won't work." Greiner would also like to go "outwards" and get SUNY Central in, ohed in Project 2000. "We're trying to engage them in a friendly dialogue, tryin g to gtt ' them to tell us what they think th tS l'ntversity should be , to make ~o rne choices." The point of Project 2000. Gremcr concluded, is 1r.0 .. use the tools we alread ~ have but to get everyone thinking hard about the future ." (l) Panel calls for admitting transfers to Honors group By ANN WHITCHER Reponer Staff n ad hoc committee is recommending that U B expand its ho nors program to include transfer students , beginning in · A the fall . In a report delivered Feb. IS before the Facult y Senate Executive Co mmittee . Committee Chair and Honors Program Director Clyde Herreid said UB is currently attracting outstanding transfer students. "According to the Admissions Office and the Office of Institutional Studies, about 45 per cent of our undergraduate student body are transfer students, many with excellent academic credentials." "Therefore, it \eems re·asonable to ~onsider expanding the honors pr~gram to include transfer students. Such a program is consistent with the original charge to the honors progr~ - recruitment of excellent students." Herreid pointed to evidence that transfers do well here. For instance, ftftysix per cent of the 1988 graduates with grade point averages of 3.5 or better, were transfers. Also, of 174 transfer students who entered UB in 1987 with a 3.5 average or better, about one-third maintained this average during tbeir first year here. Students with tbe hishest transfer averages have the bigbest "performance levels" at UB, he added. Unfortunately, Herreid reported, tbe current honors program bas to drop about 20 per cent of the f{elhmen and sophomores admitted to the program each year becaUJe they fail to maintain their grade point averages at the required 3.2 or 3.5 level . These students usually remain at UB, but not in the honors program. The attrition produces about ten vacancies a year , which could be filled by exceptional transfers, if the proposal is approved . H errcid added that many com munit y colleges with honors programs of their own .. have been clamoring for university honors programs in which to place their exceptional students. Un!il now, we at U 8 have not been able to accommodate them. " Indeed, many community colleges would wish to have their honors students guaranteed admission into our honors program. We, of course, are not propDsing such a plan, but we recogni.u: that our new proposal to admit some exceptional transfer students will beishten the community colleges' interest in UB." Under the proposal, each transfer student admitted to the honors program would receive SI,OOO annually for two yean. The ten transfer students would r=ive the same benefits accorded all ne'l' students in the honors program: a mentor, early registration, special library and dorm privileges, evenings in faculty homes, a r=ption with the president, special lectures and trips, etc. H erreid said the prime criterion for acceptance will be a student's college or university grade point average. "According to institutional studies, the most recent grades are tbe best single predictor of performana: in college." He added: "Bucci upon our analysis of tbe 19g7 tranafet lludents coming to UB, we sho~ have a very strong pool of transfer students applying each year. Last year, about 350 transfer students with over a 3.5 average applied to UB; 174 matriculated hen:. .. We expect to choose our honors students from candidates who have applied to U 8 with transfer averages well abovt 3.5 . For example, 18 people transferred to UB last year with a 3.9 or better average and eight came here with a 4.0. Most had no difficulty maintaining this performance level once they were here."

Most, if not all, of them can be taken for an S/ U grade. Surely . many flf them arc perceived -b~ studenu as not having difficult course materials and a heavy workload . He continued : ... Under these circumstances, why take World Civ.? (This is a) course that mwt be taken fot a letter grade, a course that early in the fall semester had earned a reputation as a 'serious' course with a heavy workload and 'difficult ' readings, and a course that now counts as only the second course in any (gen. ed.) knowledge area." StaH aced with dis~ppoioting enrollment in iu World Civilization pilot, the Undergraduate College sho uld reevaluate the course and find ways to make it more F appealing, Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Frederic J. Flcron , Jr. told the UGC general assembly Feb. 16. Fleron chairs the college's subcommit tee on world civilization. Part of the effort to improve under- graduate educa tion here, World Civ. is taught by a team of leading professors who represe nt diverse disciplines. The co urses 's textboo k, A Hislory of 1he Human Community, was written by William H. McNeill of the University of Chicago. Throughout the book . there is constant attention to developments in both cast and west. The text forms from a quarter to a half of the reading, however, as the rest is chosen by the professor. These readings vary, since each section has a different theme, aeeording to the intellectual overview chosen by the ccordingly, Fleron recommends: A • The college should permit S/ U grades in World Civ. and all UGC iru tructor. T he course, said Aeron, got off to a rousing start last fall , when 718 students took. part in six sections of World Civ. I. "Each section was Cl!Pped at 120; each instructor faced a fuU house. The advisors had cenainly done their job: demand for seau exceeded the supply. We had armed them with wonderful course descriptions and they knew how to use them to attract students to the course ... At the end of drop/ add two weeks later, the numbers had gone down by nearly 100, Fleron reponed . These students, however, were concentrated sn two sectjons ... Apparently, those studenu had been put off by the instructor, the syllabus, or both." Still, enrollment settled at 626 out of a possible 720. "Not bad , we thought for an initial pilot effon. " By the third week of the semester, there were student complaints about the heavy workload. "Ah ," said Fleron, "we thought with some sa~isfaction - st~­ dents have gotten the nght message: thiS is a strious course. And, indeed, we in the college who issued the charge wanted those students to view it as a serious course; that is why we did not want them to be able to take it S/ U." • · However, when it developed that students had not been adequately notified about the no S f U policy, college officials allowed S/ U for the fall semester only. In early December, Fleron he_ld lengthY meetings with all the World C1v. TAs to get their views. ..What an extraordinary group of young people," he said. "(They were) gifted , dedicated. and bubbling over with enthusiasm .~ But at semester's end , there were s1gns of trouble. " Prc-<:nrollment figures for the spring terms were rather disappointing. In fact, only 70 studenu had preregistered for the 600 seau in five sections of World Civ. 2; II for the 120 seau in one section of World Civ. I. In all, a meager 81 students for the 720 seau. "For several days, in stunned disbelie_f, the penultimate question, enshnned 10 . the title of Lenin's most famous work, echoed through the corridors of the UGC: Chto dtlat? (What is to be done?)." T he UGC then did everything it could to increase spring enrollment, includin!fDacing ads in The S~cJrum, putting posters at d'?p/add, and seeking help from acade1111c adviSors. But the resulu were marginal and the college was forced to ta.k.e action. Sajd Aeron: .. h was .. .clear that it would not require the services of seven faculty and a dozen T As to teach six sections totaling 80 to I00 studenu. Meet- · ings with the three Aru and Sciences dean~ and the World Civ. instructors in early January led to the decision to cancel several sections. In the end, three sec- "Why did the spring enrollments drop dramatically? It may be the result of poor feedback from instructors, heavy workload, and difficult materials. Maybe it's that World ·Civ. is not available on S I U while ·other gen. ed. courses are." tions of World Civ. 2 were cancelled, . leaving two sections of we 2 and one section of WC I, with a to!Denrollment, at last count, of 92 studenu. "Clearly, the World Civilization pilot program is in serious need of restructuring," said Fleroo. What, then, is the best way to proCeed? S tudent evaluations of the course offer some clues, Fleron said . Among the findings: • Instructors inspired excitement or interest in the subject matter about half the time. • In structors presented materials appropriate to students' level of experience and ability more than half the time. • Studenu rca: ived feedback about their progress less than usual. • Studenu found the workload much heavier, and the course materials more difficult, than in other courses. On the other hand, the elemenu of the course (activities, readings, assignmenu, etc.) worked well together, studenu found . • More students agreed than disagreed that the course goals and objectives as presented by the instructor had been met, Fleron reponed . And students felt that, overall, they learned as much or more than usual. Teaching effectiveness was rated at .. about average." The evaluations also reveal that most students felt their educational background furnished them with the skills and information needed to succeed m World Civ. In fact , only ten to 12 per cent said they were less than adequately prepared . Said Aeron: ..This is somewhat at variance with the instructors' perceptions of studeats' educational background for the course." which ranged from weak to poor. Yet, Fleron pointed out, the students' perceptions of themselves corresponded to their grades. "which were generally quite good." Nineteen per cent received an A; 41 per cent, a B; 26 per cent, a C. by did the spring enrollmenu drop so dramatically? It may be the result of poor feedback from instructors, heavy workJoad, and difficult course materials, Fleron stated. But these factors must be considered in context, he added. "A critically imponant part of that context is the structure of the gen. ed. curriculum at UB. There arc currently over 400 courses that count for gen. ed . credit. Many of them arc offered on a W courses untiJ all gen. ed. courses are changed to no S f U grading. or the UGC core curriculum is fully in place: as a requirement without S/ U grading. Without the S/ U option, Fleron concluded, ~his course cannot compete for students with the several hundred other gen. ed . courses, all of which may be taken Sj U. Studenu may not take the course seriously with S/ U, but they Will not take it at all without S/ U." In Fleron's view, the UGC should also: • Cllaoge the nature of gen. ed. credit for World Civ. so as to give studenu .. much greater choice or latitude" in counting World Civ. for gen. ed . credit. • Reduce the reading load. "One hundred pages per wtek in one of five courses is pushing the outer limits of what our freshmen can read and retain." • Retain the primary sour=, but reduce their amount. Says Fleron: "When two-th irds of the 100 pages of reading per week arc primary sources, that is beyond the limit of what our firstyear studenu can and should be required to read, understand, and retain." • Teach the text, instead of ignoring it or assuming that students can and do read and absorb it on their own. • "Do not overload the lectures, and lower the level of the lectures," instructors are urged. • Use colleagues as guest lecturers On occasion. "No one can be equally prepared, stimulating, and exciting in all aspects of a course that covers such a broad sweep." • Experiment with linking World Civ. and English 101 / 201. Commented Fleron: "The World Civ. instructors felt that studenu had poor writing skills and litt!~ or no experience in writing papers that would force them to grapple with abstract ideas .., • Incorporate Lear ning-to-Learn techniques into the World Civ. program. • Consider hiring new faculty wllh proven records as Outstanding lecturers in this subject, who would teach two sections of World Civ. a year. T hese ind ividuals, Fleron said. should be paid top salary. He added: "Lecture size could be increased to 250 or more." Prof. R. Polen berg at Cornell, he noted, "regularly lectures to classes of 1,200 students in 20th century American history. There arc 40-50 recitation sections. This is reponed to be one of the most exciting and popular courses at Cornell." Spelling later with the Rtport.r. Fleron said the UGC may have incorrcetly assumed that students who took the course io the fall would then talco it in the spring. His offioc is now sending questionnaires to all studenu who took World Civ. last fall to determine this and other additional information. Fie ron's recommendations will be reviewed by the UGC's curriculumcommittee and world civilization subcommittee. 0 �M•n::h 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 20 I VieWQOints (I mmediately below) Dav1d and !he Bell Cobra Diary of a volunteer 1n Israel By DAVID M.

I have been averaging five hours at the base but managed to get nine and a half here last night. I also did some reading. catching up on the Juwalem Pos/S from the past few days. It turns out that the. night we_s~nt in the bomb shelter, three Paleshmans were killed within 400 meters of Kibbutz , Menarah. which is close to our base.

The five of us had a feeling of pride at the realization that we were leaving the warehouse with a fres h coat of paint and more ordered than when we found it. General Davidi came to vi sit us. Davidi told us that our labor was much appreciated . He said our presence itself helps boost morale, by letting the Israelis know that people in America care. He said it also allows the army to put soldiers to work doing more skilled labor while we take care of the unskilled. ln addition. he said , it lets the miluim stay at home and means that they have to spend less time in the army every year. because we do some of the work . Since the program was founded in 1982. Davidi told us , 13.000 people have made a total of 17,000 trips. within 100 m of Menarah. · Menachem showed me where that kibbutz is on the map. It's located right on the Lebanese border. The interesting thing is that it is within pre- 1967 Israeli borders: it has been part of Israel smce its founding in 1948. 1/8/89 Sunday Back to the base again: but with a twist this' time. Thursday night, Shimon asked for five volunteers to go to a base two km from the border. Let's call it B base. Josh, Vic; Lisa, Jacqueline, and _I offered to go.

Sean has offered to put me up for the weekend, until I leave for home on Monday. I also met with my madrich frnm last year, Tzion. He works for the Ooar. the post office, in Jerusalem.

'VB has recently entered into defense contracts that are inconsistent with Board of Trustee guidelines." Shmulick drove us back toG base. After dinner. wt received our certificates and pins . We have also turned in our uni- here. Actually. we are about 50 feet away from the border. Outside of one end of Josh joked. you need a visa because the other side of the road is Lebanon. yoUr comments. most of these contracts specify very precise pre-publication review procedures which are freqtlently in violation of the research guidelines of particular academic institutions. On September 8, 1966. the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York acted to protect the integrity of the State's public university system by unanimously passing a resolution which mandated that '"University research shall be unrestricted as to the public dissemination of the conduct, progress. and resu lts of such research ... In the spring of 1969, the Faculty Senate at UB, responding 10 student initiative, endorsed the Trustees' resolution by resolving that '"all research results including sponsorship sh.U be publishable, as determined by the faculty membe~ involved, in open literature for public use .... These actions taken by the Univenity community 20 yean ago established the fundamen tal guidelines gOverning research at the University at Buffalo as a member of the SUN Y system. Today. the Research Foundauon of the State Universit y of Ne w Yo rk is Project Dir-ector's Handbook. continues to reiterate the word s of the Bo~rd of Trustees m 1966 when 11 states .. any research or research related programs co nducted by personnel of the University, carried out in state o~n.ted universities or colleges or on universlty controlled premises. shall be unrestricted as to the dtssemination publicly of the conduCt. pr-ogress, and results or such research or research related programs ... Thus, in 1989. UB remains pr-ohibittd by SUNY Guidelines from engagi ng tn research which 1s subJeCt to any publicati On restnct1ons by the spo nsonng agency or Institut ion. No netheless. the Uni vers1ty at BuffaJo has rece ntly entered mto defense contracts wh1ch are inconsistent with the Trustees' reso luuon concerning academic research. In May of 1985. the University s,igned a contract with the Defense Nuclear Agency to begin research on SOl Power Conditioning. Under- the terms of the contract , Dr. James Sarjeant, the project's dtrector, is required to submit to the contr-act technical manager .. six copies or any anicles, speeches, films. photographs. fact sheets, or other informational material prepared for public release as a result of work performed or to be performed under this contract, not less than 60 working days pnor to publication for review and comment.. ..[T]he CfM will review the draft and return it without unreasonable delay to tl:;. .:Ontractor with his commenl.S and recommendatipns including any Security Classifications and repon format changes... The above specifications are without question a restriction on the publication of Dr. Sarjeant's research and , in effect. a violation of SUNY guidelines governing research. Another- controversial contract, also specifically related to the Strategic Defense Initiative. was accepted from the U.S. Air Force by the Univenity on August I. 1987. This contract involving .. Molecular Engineering.. and presided over by Dr. Paras Prasad requires that .. if. in the conduct of the research , the contractor develops information which might have an adverse effect on National Security if it were disclosed, the contractor shall promptly provide written notif.cation to the Contracting Officer and Program Manager .• 1be Contractor will not disclose the information without prior written approval 9f the Contract Officer. A decision on tbe need to 'Classify such information will be made by the government within 30 days after recei pt of written notice by the Contractor... The vague usc of '"National Security'" in the word in& of this contract places the decision-making power concerning information di.sscmination directly in tbe U.S. Air Force~ hands whe~ u tbe guidelines state that "all raean:i>--mults ...shall be publishable as determined •See~ned- �Mlll'dl 2, 111ft Volume 20, No. 20 / Letters by the faculty member involved in open literature for public usc ... Again, the above cont.ract is an infringement upon academic freedom . The UB administration claims that the SD I Conrracts arc legitimate because they ..do not prohibit publication of results ... The possibility that SDI research being cond ucted at U 8 will eventually be classified is real, as concluded by the CongressionaJ Report mentioned earlier and as alluded to by the concerns with .. National Security .. expressed in the wording of the co ntracts . The point, however, is that the con tracts restrict publication of research results , which in and of iLSelf. is a violation of the Trustee Guidelines. This being established , the question must be asked: .. Where do we go from here?" Will we next sec chemical or biological ' weapons being developed 'at UB? And w:.dt about the free exchange of knowledge and 1deas wh1ch is essential to our intellectual development? Will the administration pc:rmu ou tside interests to place fun her restrictions on academic freedom? Or will we . the Un1versity co mmunity, act to protect the mtegnty of UB? In the end, the answers to these and related questions will be determined by our actions. In the end, moreover, we arc all n:sponsible . 0 - SARA BETH PARSONS TODD HOBLER Members of rhe Coal1110n to f ree Research He 's appalled by the Law faculty! EDITOR: ~ After readi ng the published amcles of Timothy Rei nig and Alexei Schacter m the 21 February issue of The Op;mon . I feel that an effon to clarify the posallons of Dan Majchruk and pcrhap~ lend so me suppon to his views is overdue. As a concerned individual and a student, I am appalled at the behavior of the UB Law faculty and the Student Bar Association in their dealings with Dan Majchrzak and his opposition to the Law Schoo l's ban of on-campw recruiting by the Military's Judge Advocate General Corps. Aside from the spurious and statutori ally unsubstantiated commentary on the .. moral rightness" of the law school's legally untenable discrimination policy, the published diatribes quickly sink into a spastic flurry of liberal knee-jerk react1ons and viciOua ad homWm attacks on M ajchrzalt and his views. First, the leg~ position. I was shocked to discover that the law faculty never consulted the relevant laws concerning their policy. For if they had. they would have realized that they could not realistically believe that they could win their case, for at least the following rea>Ons: I) 2{)()(H-2 note I U, stating ..sex discrimination applies only ... t9 the basis of gender and should not be judicially extended to include sexual preference;.. 2) 41 USC 11XX!<-1 No~< 115, stating that • ...discharge for homosexuality is not prohibited ... ;" 3) 10 USC 505, stati ng that • ... able-bodied men apl 17 to JS may be conside~ ... ;" 4)/0 USC 591 , stating that "the ~tuy concerned shall prescribe the physical, mental, moral, professional, and age qualiflCIItions for their respective scrvica;" S) 41 USC 11XX!<-1 (8), stating that • .. .it sball not be tmlawful. ..to fail or refuse to hire llDd employ any iudividual for any position"lllld that " ...OCCllputcy of . sucb positions is subject to any requirement imposed in the interest of national security... ;• 6) Dd~"Tbe Civil Rigbu Law iuelf exempli proudion of tbc Civil Righu Act on of national security."' In addition arc 41 USC 1IXXI<-1(/). 10 USC 1116 (bXI).(bX3), 10 USC /JJI , and numeroUJ and CODJiatent prpccdcnll of Congrcu and the Couru &ivina.the military ~ n usc Continued From Page 5 supremacy in the area of setting standards. e.g. O.Sontis v. Pacific Tel & Tel Co .• C. A. Cal. 1979. 608 F.1d )17; ,.d Blum v. Gulf Oil Corp .• CA . Tex. 1979. 597 F.1d 9)6; and many others. Also there is the supremacy clause giving Federal laws precininencc in cases of conflicting state laws or executive orden, such as the N.Y. Executive Order No . 28 that is often cited in this panicular instance. In shon~ the law faculty does not have a lep.J leg to stand on. I would like to point out that these are not merely .. rhetorical invocations of the law" but the law. It is the height of hypocrisy and the pinnacle of pomposity and arrogance for a law faculty and those studying jurisprudence to declare themselves above the Constitution, the Supreme Coun, the Congress._ and the laws of the land , because they believe that the school's ~moral and ethical vision" 'Shi nes a .. moral Light" upon their dubious cause, while claiming to have the spirit of the law on their side. This last contention is truly ridiculous; for like a spirit, it is a vaporous apParition when compared to the letter of the law and the overall will of the society behind the raw:::::_ B asicaJiy what Reinig, the law faculty , and their cohons (e.g. Kimi Lynn King) arc trying to do is force their societal agenda down the UB community 's th roat without giving it a chance to taste it, while thumbing their noses at the Constit ution. the U.S. Government, the UB administration, and the American public as a whole. They arc trying to set themselves up as the sole foun1ain of 1ru1h; a new Oracle a t Delphi for an uneducated , illinformed, and misguided society to emulate and follow according to their own (1he faculty's) rules and reslriclions . To do this , ·they arrogate powers that belong to the administration to themselves in an attempt to carry out their plans. Wheh so mebody calls them on their bluff, they continue 10 insist that rhey were right in doing so and will pursue the ratification of their Manifesto by any means possible. regardless of Federal laws, University regulations and policies, or other people 's civil and constitutional right to speak their own opinions and to suppon what they ind ividually feel is right. What these self-righteous. se lfproclaimed. social adjudicators want IS to be able to ideologically force-feed their views on the way things .. should" be to what they feel is a morally malnounshed populace, thereby tmposing their unelccted will upon the public at large and agai nst the public 's wishes. This is not a form of faculty advisement; it is the Reign of Terror Revisited! Ironically , it is the faculty and their indoctrinated associates who art anti democratic. not Dan Majchrzak. They shon<ircuit the democratic process so that it can only work for themselves and no one else. As a matter of fact, if anybody has .. moral courage, leadenhip , and jwtice" on their minds in O'Brian Hall, it is Majchruk and the FedCTalist Society not the facult y and the- SBA. The numerous and vicious ad homiMm attacks in tbC two Opinion articles on 21 February are indicative of the situation .tbcre. Here is someone wbo hu come out against a policy he believes is unjust a.nd illegal. He can, back his position with statutes, while setting very little suppon from his peers and also facing an KteologicalJy hostile faculty at tne same time. This sho ws me that he hu a lot more BUts than the faculty. SBA. NLG. and Gl.SA have combined. A aeemin&ly solituy Majchrzak is out on the poiDt politioa oo this intdlcctual mission while his opponenu maa toa<tbcr without bovina any other purp<»e than makina thenuelves look foolish in the eyes of John Q. Public. They act u intdlcctuallllld lcpl cowards, relyin& on surreptitious mechanizations and JCCret cloted-door meetinp to achieve their policy JOOb. Thev do this bc:causc they know that they cannot win in the open with their actions in full view of the public .... Using the excuse that other schools such as Harvard . Yale, and Columbia have pulled simi lar stunts is no defense or claim to credibility. UB should not make the same mistake the Ivy League has. As for the allegations that Majchn..ak. 1s morally atrophied, hypocritical, homophobic, myopic, bigoted, antidemocratic, and an agent of American Destruction, aJI one has to do is consider the sourcc(s) to see that he has nothing 10 worry about. Even if he did , he stiJI has the law and S,OOO years of Judea-Christian ethical and moral precepts on his side. If Majchrzak has a strong, visceral disgust for the acts homosexuaJity involves. like I do. he has a right to his opinion; just as he can have an opinion that pedophiles, bcstiphiles, and coprophiliacs arc repugnant and vile, with which I also concur. The difference between us and the UB law faculty is that we do not try to force our views on others. This is America., and I am sure that Dan Majchrzak would agrtt with me that even though we personally disagree with their sexual orientation, homosexuals have every right to engage in any activities that they feel fit their lifestyles within the privacy of their own domiciles. It is their right as Americans and it is their own personal business. However, I know· that we also ag-ree that homoscxuaJs absolutely do not have the .. right to try to force societal acceptance of what is generally and widely viewed as their aberrant, deviant way of life by shoving it into everybody's face wbeocver they do not set their way. Maybe it is time for homosexuals to stop blaming society for their self-inflicted ignominy and n:cogni.ze that the cause of their problems is what a psychoanalyst wou ld refer to as their "'fundamental poor object choice... This is not homophobia (an irrational fear of homosexuals). We, and it seems that a great majority of society agrees with us, jwt find the concept of homosexuality repulsive. It is about time for the law faculty to sto p acting like Robcspierre and the Committee for Public Safety and to start living up to its .. nationwide reputation for knowing how to act responsibly." Until the facul ty realizes that civil rights arc not the exclusive domain of special interest groups; until they realize that the policy-makins power of UB lies with the administration and not with them; until they recognize that we arc ... Nation of Laws and Not of Men;" they cannot possibly hope to teach the concepts of justice and equality for all to their st udents . 0 - DREW MILLER Engineering Student Technical stories cif:J.'!'C1()cf competence EDITOR: ~ This is in reference to the ~ recent anicle on "COM PUTERS" in your Feb. 16 issue.

DAHDEKAR Instructor EAS· 130 Statistics faculty G_(Cl_~[(Y. . an issue EDITOR: We write to clarify an issue raised in the letter to the Reporrer (Feb. 23) by Dr. Peter H. Staple, which was in response to a previous letter (R~porter, Feb. 16) from Dr. Anthony Ralston. Dr. Staple inferred from Or. Ralston 's letter that ';the Dcpanment of Statistics · may not accept the Trigglc Committee's proposal for additional joint appointments of biostatlsticians in FNSM and Health Sciences, because faculty rate biostatistics unimportant for their discipline. .. ... Dr. Ralston has advised w that be neither believes that to be the case, nor was it hls intention to imply that that was tbe position of memben of the Department of Statistics. More imponantly, in order to furthec clarify this Wue, we would like to emphatically state that that is NOT the position of the faculty of the Department of Statistics. On the contrary. we fully support the Triggle Committcc"s proposal that bioswisticians be hi~ by the Department of StatistiC$ and that joint appointments of biostatisticians in FNSM and Health Scien<%1 be made. Indeed , this type of cooperation is in accord with President Sample's oft-stated desire to iocreasc interdisciplinary activities in this University. Moreover. we also feel that the discipline of statistics -and the Depanment \ role: in providins service to the entire Univenity (includill8 Health Scicnca) would be illserved by rcmoviq the Department of Statistics from the ..core .. of the University and placina it in the Medical School (as hospitable a home as that may be).

He urged the Bush administration to "put back on the agenda the dream of Martin Luther lUng, Jr." King's legacy is strong, said Lewis.

King, be said, "gave us hope in a time of hopelessness," through his message of love and his philosophy of non-violence. ..

And he· was a man , he said, with a message that was .. too right. too necessary. to be bur· ied with his bod y in Atlanta." dream lives Lewis says the legacy of Dr. King is a challenge By STEPHEN GARMHAUSEN Reponer Stat1 artm Luther King has been gone for 20 ~ears . But his challenge has survived him. Hi s dream is not dead. and it is up to us to see that it is realiud . So said Georgia Congressman John Lewis, who knew and worked with King. Lewis came to UB Thursday with a n inspiring message of responsibility and hope, delivered at the University's 13th annual tribute to the slain civil rights leader. The theme of the commemoration was "Sit Down a t the Table of Brotherhood ," a phrase taken from one of King's · speec hes. The 90-minute ceremony honoring King included the presentation of awards to students and community members who exemplify the spirit of the nonviolent leader. M ewi s is a prominent civil rights activist who endured beatings and was arrested 40 times while leading peaceful ~ demonstrations and marches in the civil ~ rights struggle. He is considered one of § th e "Big Six" leaders of the movement. 01 Elected to Congress· in 1987, Lewis IS A L previously served on the Atlanta City ~ Council and was named by President Carter to direct 250,000 volunteers for the federal volunteer agency ACTION. Lewis was a 15-year-old high school . student in segregated Alabama when he first heard of King. "As a black child in the heart of rural Alabama," he said, " I had tasted the bitter fruit of racism. "And as I watched the unfolding drama in Montgomery (the bus boycott) , i'!l't 50 mil~s away, the concept of nonviolent confrontation with the forces of segregation brought a ray of hope for me, just as it did for many people throughout this nation." During the stirring speech delivered to an audience of about 350, Lewis told of his role in the civil rights struggle, what it meant to know King, and what still needs to be done to fulfill King's dream. Not long after the successf.ul Montgomery bus boycott, Lewis applied to Alabama's Troy State College, a n allwhite institution . His application was ignored . "I wrote Dr. King. a letter," Lewis said, "and told him of my desire to study at Troy State. He wrote me back and sent me a round -trip Greyhound bus ticket, to travel from Troy to Montgomery. "I will never forget that Saturday morning iri 1958," he continued, _"when I met with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Reverend Ralph Abernathy in the pastor's study of the First Ba~tist Church in downtown Montgomery. He added: "This was the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship: Ou~ paths were to cross on many occas1o~. Lewis detailed his close involvement Wtth King through tbe years, at sil-ins in 1960; during the "freedom rides" 10 1?61 ; the March on Washington of 1963; and tbe L---------==~:==..::u::::. Selma-to-Montgomery march of 1965. Lewis told of being present in April 1967, when King spoke out agai nst the Vietnam War, and in 1968 during the "Poor People's Campaign. " L ewis then discus,.;d what King has taught America: the cou ntry can be transformed into ~ing's dream of "a truly interracial democracy ... And the struggle, he said, must be pursued. "A ll of us, black and white, young and old, rich and poor, must rededicate our lives to the mission and to the goals of Martin Luther King, Jr." Non-violence, Lewis said, must be a way of life and not merely a tactic for change. Further, our striving for change must take place non-violently. Lewis noted that there are those who hold that non-violence is dead and that King's dream of the "beloved cqmmunity" is an impossibilty. But Lewis offered a dissenting view . "The movement is not dead, and the philosophy. of non-violence is not oldfashioned . We must remember that the non-violent movement under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr. was like a bridge over troubled water." Were King alive today, said Lewis, he would be reminding the government that its first concern should be to provide housing for the homeless, food for the hungry, comprehensive health care, day .care and child care for worlcing families. " He would tell us to do what we could to put back on the American agenda the problems, the concerns, and the needs of those who have been left out and left behind, and to carry our struggle into the 21st century." "All of us, black and white, young and old, rich and poor, must rededicate our lives to the mission and to the goals of Martin Luther ' J r....

Cottrell has a 3.8 g rade point average and is listed in "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universi ties." He plans to earn an M.

This function is regularly perfonned by the nonnal miss:ons of teaching, resea rch , and publication within our various depanmcnts: African-American Studies, Amencan Studies. An. An History, Classics. Co mparative Literature, English. Media, Modern Lang uages and Literatures, Music. and Theatre and Dance. The Faculty of Ans and Letters fun her plays its role in the life of the Unive rsity at Buffalo by providi ng a wide range of artistic and academic even ts extending beyond these normal missiO ns. Supponing, organizing. and atte nd ing these events is one of the unique highlights of serving as dean . The sheer number of cultural eve nt s provided by the Faculty of Arts and Letters for University studen ts. staff. and faculty, and for a broad range of com munity members. is remarkable. The range and vitality of these activ111cs a rc particula rl y exccplional in light of the li mited facilities th at arc currently avai lable. Jus t last year, the Facult y produced and hos ted 538 different cultural and in tellectual events, all open to the public, which more than 80,000 people allended . Department The Music Depanment Activities offers the la rgest number and widest range of cultur al acti vities for the Unive rsity and community. It sponsors the annual Beethoven S tri ng Q ua rtet Co ncen Series. This year's Visiting Anist Series includ es: The Hilliard Ensem ble, the Genesee Baroque- Players with Dana Maiben (violinist), the Kahane / Shifrin / Swense n Trio. Michala Petri, I Musici De Montreal (Y uli Turovsky, conductor), and Lucy Shelton. The Department ·also hosts the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for four concerts in Slee Hall. In ad(Jition to these three "outside" professional music performance series, the Depa n ment offers hundreds of faculty and student recitals and concerts, including: the U / Buffalo Civic Symphony, the U B C hoir and Chorus, tbe UB Jazz Ensemble, the Wind Ensemble, and seve ral facully ensembles. Special events include the internationally known North American New Music Festival , which will talce Jllace this April, and "June- in Buff3fo." The Department of Theatre and Dance sponsors a season of plays and dance concerts which are performed in the Pfeifer Theatre in downtown Buffalo, the Harriman Studio Theatre in-Harriman Hall on the Main Street Campus, and the Katharine Cornell Thea tre in the Ellicott Dormitory Complex. Productions for the 1988-89 season include: "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour," "International Voices," "Warehouse 1: Beginnings" (Zodiaque Dance Company), "The Time of Your Life," "Endgame," "Warehouse II: Contact" (Zodiaque Dance Company), "Balm in Gilead," "Hair," and "Cinders." This su mmer. the founeenth season of "Shakespeare in the Park.'" will return to Delaware Park in July and A ugust. The Depanment of Art. housed in Bethune Hall on Main Street. supports a se ries of fine ans exhibitions in its Beth une Hall Gallery. This year's exhibitions include: The Alumni In vitational, The Society for Photographic Education, "Aash Nonheast Regional Photography Survey," a one-pe'rson faculty exhibition by David Schirm: The Brook lyn Storage Show Paintings. a Faculty Ex hibition. the Lawrence Kinney and Dana Ranke Exhibition. Rumsey Fellowship Winners, Works From the Collection of the BuscagliaCastellani An Gall~, a Graduate Show, the Rumsey ~larship Competition and The Senior / Undergraduate Exhibition. In addition th e Department of Art in cooperation with the Depanment of Theatre and Dance, offers a se ries of graduating M. F .A. st udent exh ibitions in th e lobby gallery of the Pfeif~r Theatre . Although the Department of Media Study docs no t yet have its own film a nd video exhibition space. it has managed to prese nt a number of special events this year. inclu ding Sarah Elder's documen tary fi lm on A laskan .cu ltu re, "The Drums of Winter," and a film ~ries on human rights that recently ran on campus: The Human Rights Film Festival. Fo r this se ries, a number of films were selected from the First Hum an Rights Watch Film Festival th at occurred in late 1988 at Josep h Papp's Publ ic Thea tre in New York City. All the o ther departments in the Faculty of Ans and Letters regularl y sponsor special lectures. scree nings. conferences. a nd performances on various aspects of the ans, literature. and creative writi ng. In panicular. the Depanment of English sponsors the Charles Olson Lect ures, and a number of poetry read ings, includ ing a reading by Allen Ginsberg last year. In November, the Depanment hosted a one-day mini-conference on Shakespeare's " Henry the Founh, Pan One," that invo lved fac ult y, graduate and undergraduate students, and visiting lecturer!:.. Many of these events take place in os.ber locations around the city, incl uding the Albright-Knox, Studio Arena Theatre, Hallwalls Gallery, Delaware Park, and various public sehools. For example, the An a nd the Law Lecture series, organized by Professor Alan Birnholz of Art History, is currently taking place at the Albright-Knox Auditcrium, 2 p.m. on Sundays during February and March. Within the next four yean we will combine our departments of An. Media, and Theatre and Dance under one magnificent new roof: the Fine Arts Center, due to open on the south s hore of Lake LaSalle in late 1992 o r early 1993. Arb & LeHers During the course of ln•lltule the 1988-89 academic year, several Arts and Letters Faculty Study Groups W'l{ked to develop proposals for the State-wide SUNY "Graduate Education and Research In itiative" (G RI), on topics ranging from Cognitive and Linguistic Science to New An. Out of this process emerged four proposals for Ans and Letters lnstilutes: New Arz, Cull ural Diversity, Critical Inquiry and Narrative Theory and Performance. The proposal for the Institute for New An focused on reinforcing relations between the UB Arts departments and th e cultural world and audience of Western New York. It shared its roots with such past projects as the Creative and Performing An s Institute, seeki ng to explore interdisciplinary works as well as the relations hips between production, performance, and modern technology. The proposed Institute for Cul tural Diversity planned to coordi nate the work of existing programs within Arts and Lette~ that co ntinue to explore issues in Wo men 's Studies. Native American St udies , Puerto-Rican Studies, African-American Studies, and U.S . Studies, often in tandem with othe r departments in Social Sciences or the schools of Law, Medicine. and Education. The Instit ute for Cri tical Inquiry determined to sustain a process of criticism as an interrogation of cultural custom: a practice of reading a cult ure through its productions - including literature. popular arts, journalism. advertisi ng. television, cinema. and o ther representations. The proposal for a Cen ter for Narrative Theory and Performa nce focused on the enactment and examination of a great variety of aesthetic and cultural creations. in literature and the arts, medi a, folklore , po litics, legal d is pute, and religious spectacle. A recent major conference on "Editing Realit y" emerged from ideas in this pro posal. Although the realization of these se parate Institutes has no t occ urred, the goals a nd sentiments of each of them survive within the reanimated entity of the Faculty ln.Jtitutt of Arts and Uuers. The Institute is empowered to be the Faculty instrument of organized research, including creative activities and artistic performance. This Institute's objectives are to help coordinate and support current and planned Arts and Letters interdisci plinary activities and to encourage, plan, and suppon future intellectual and cultural activities not o nl y among the Arts and Letters depa rtmen ts. but also in connection with o utside departments as well as with resources outside of the University. Reinstated thi s year, the Institute solicited proposals this fall. The respon..: has been encouraging. Although the Insti tute budget for 198889 is limited, we have been able so far to help sponso r such depanment and interdisciplinary projects as the An and the Law Lecture Series. the Human Rights Film Festival, the SinoAmerican Symposium on Chinese and American War Literatures (scheduled for Oct. 1989). "The Battle of the Nile: An Interarts Perforrriance Work.·· and the Seventh Annual orth Amencan New Music Festival. The lnslitute is also s upporttng an Interd iscip linary Conference on Panicularism. organi1.cd by Professor Irving Massey of English, taking place this month. Particulansm is a newly developing area in various fields . which emphasizes the specific individual case as opposed to more general theoretical approaches. The Conference. being held March 2-5 on our campus. will host a wide range of speakers from Professor Naomi Schor of Duke, speaking on Feminist Theory, to Dr. Rene Thorn of the French /nstitut des Haut Etudes Scitntifiques, speaking o n mathemat ics. Organizers say that the Conference .. follows from the conviction that the richness and irreducible impo n ance of the particular ex~riencc:. the detail. and the event. need to be reaffirmed ." Other speakers at this muhi-<fisciplinary event will include philosophers Lawrence Blum and Manha Nussbaum. literary theorist Roland Kany, and UB faculty Leslie Fiedler and Irving M assey (English). Lewis Coburn (Mat hemat ics}, Rodolphe Gasche (Comparative Literature), and Mendel Sachs (Physics and Astronomy). The Institute has also provided su ppon to a projected three-volume anthology of plays by African a nd African-American women, being edited by Dr. Zulu 'Sofola. currently visiting in the Theat re and Dance depanment. and Professor End esha Id a Mae Holland of American Studies. The anthology will include works by women who attended the highly success[ul First International Women Playwrights Confere nce at U B last October, as well as biographical information on the contributors, and an examination of the cultural context in whicb the plays were written. Another theatrical event pani;llly spo nso red by the Institute is a co-production of t he departments of Theatre and Dance and Media Studies o f Janusz Glowaki's play, "Cinders," as a multimedia event called "CINDER(ella)S ." The presentation is sched uled for April 27 through May 4 at the Pfeife r Theatre. On the horizon this coming May is another international conference, • .. Between Nation alism and Fascism," organized by Professor Andrew Hewitt of Comparative Literature. Speakers have been invited from Israel, Europe, and America to address the question of nationalism in its romantic origins as a liberalizing force, and its gradual degeneration into a singularly negative force that bas influenced twentieth· century .history.

She recently organiu:d a conference a nd compiled an extensive bibliography on the same su bject. Jenkins pref~ced her lecture by noting the difficult y in discovering black book publishers. "Publishing is a little known ~ nd little discussed aspect of the black experience a nd few historical, scholarly studi es have been devoted to it," she said, ad ding th at what little research there is tends to focus on the co ntemporary problems of black publishers. The subtitle of Jenkins' lecture, "'We w1sh to plead our ow n cause, .. was borrowed from the first editorial in the fi rst Black Amencan newspaper. Frttdom :S Journal. S he read an excerpt from th at first issue: B pronounce anathemas and denounce our whole body for the misconduct of this guilty one." Freedoms Journal typified ante bel· lum black publishing efforts, Jenkins said , and paralleled the larger movement by freemen and slaves to ~organize, "'We wish to plead o ur ow n cause. Too long have others spoken for us. Too long has the public been deceived by misrepresentations in things which concern us dearly .... With so rrow we corifess, there are (th ose:) who make it their busi ne ss to enlarge upo n the leas t trine. which tend s 10 disc redit any person or colo r: and create, and nurture their own ~t i tu­ tions." he influence of the newly formed T black .churches, for example, was especially large. Jenk.ins said that the African Episcopal Methodist Church published and distributed documentar· ies, biographies, and sermons through its A.M.E. Book Concern. Much of the material, she added, focused on slavery and emancipation ...... These same concerns gripped the black entrepreneurs who also made their first attem~ to publish in the antebellum peri . Commercial suceesses incl uded Tho as Hamilton's Anglo-African Magazint , and a book he published about first-hand travel experiences in Africa, written by Robert Campbell. Jenkins said that the abolitionist David Ruggles' Mirror of Uber1y periodical a lso found an audience interested in the moral, social, political, and intel· lectual advance of black Americans, as did David Walker's Apptalto tht Public Citiztns of tht World. This was a "sedi· tious" work that circulated widely, largely beeause Wa lker owned a riversid e clothing store and made sure all sailors left port with a copy of his work. Of these two major groups of publish· ers, the church and the businessman. Jenkins said th at the former was more oftlf successful due to an established au<!ience, aeteady soura: of support, and a ready distri bution system. After the Civil War, and after the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, the focus turned from slavery to equality of oppor· tunit y and efforts to uplift the race. Jenkins said. The second major wave of black publishing took place around the tum of the century as a black scholarly community developed alongside the growth of black uni versiti06. · Most prominent were the published sociological works of W . E.8 . Du Bois, but many involved the more practical applications of knowledge in fields such as agriculture. According to Jenkins. black cultural organizations, such as the American Negro Academy, established book publ is hing programs that promoted their aims in the arts and sciences at about the same time. J enkins mentioned Cruu Magazine, the official organ of the NAACP and the most widely read black journal in the early 20th century, and the Brownie's Book, published by Du Bois in hopes of educating young children. Langston Hughes waJ first published here, she said . Jenkins 'then spoke of publishing during the Harlem Renaissance and the • See B~ Art., Page 14 Black literary tradition started with Schomburg ccording t o UB graduate student a nd scholar of blacl hi stor y Mar ia Rosa -A llen. .. Puert o Ricans a nd blacks are frequent ly to ld that we have no literary tradition in America. But we d o have a literary tradition, and it stans with Art hur Alfonso Schomburg." Rosa-Allen. who is in the Department or Educational Organization, Administratio n, and Policy Studies, is currently the curato r of an exhibit on Schomburg at the Buffalo a nd Erie County Histori· cal Society. The exhibi t, which is sponsored by th e Blac k Student Union, the New York S tate Co uncil for the Hum ani ties, and El Musto Francisco Oller y Diego Rivera. wi ll run until March 15. Schomburg was a historian of black culture and collector of bl ack . art and literature. H is co llection. which included 5,000 books ,· 3,000 manuscri pts, 2.000 etc hings and pai ntings, and seve ral tho usa nd pamphlets by and about peo ple of African descent, beca me part of the New York Public Library's permanent collecti on in 1926. Born and educated in Pueno Rico. Schomburg init ially ca me to the U.S. in 189 1 to join nationalist Latin American gro ups. A ''the author of the black: national anthem ' Lift Up Your Voice,' James Weld on Johnson , wrote most of his book Black Manhauan in the Schomburg room." Rosa-Allen went on to speculate "that without Arth ur Schomburg and what he co ntributed ," the Harlem Renaissance of the '20s and the black arts move ment of the '60s "might not have occurred . "Many you ng black writers who were emerging then - such as James Weldon John so n and Claude McKay, used the books at 135 Lenox Avenue (t he N.Y. Public Library), books that Schomburg had amassed. Would the re have been a Harlem Renaissance if these books weren't available? And would the re have been a black art movement in th e '60s (without the previous accomplishments of the '20s and '30s)? And eve n if these movements had sti ll occurred , would they have occurred to the extent that they did?" asked Rosa-Allen . S chom burg was also important as "'an i nt ermedia r y" w ho co n vinced publishers to look at the work of " ·a.:·•'''" ,.. ,,,.. 1loU • l ' ccordi ng to Rosa- Allen , Schorn· burg later became disillusio ned wi th the Latin American pro-i nde j>cndencc move ment and shifted his energy and attention ·to African-American groups in New York City. By the tum of the century, Schomburg was actively engaged in collecting and studying black art and literature from all over the world . • The result of tbat activity, the huge collection which Schomburg later gave to the New York Public Library, became an important resource for black artists and intellectuals of the '20s and '30s, said Rosa-Allen. "A special reading and writing room was set up in the library for people who wanted to use the collection. And everybody who was somebody in Harlem in those days passed through that room. "For uample," Rosa-Allen elaborated, A hi § • 1'1''•" Mana Rosa-Allen: Some· trmes. in the academy. you 'swear you can see the whne robes.' .,, tl .... t; 'II· ..· II·. promising young writers like Claude McKay, Rosa-Allen added . In addition to being a collector and pat ron of art and literature Schomburg Was also the author of numerous articles a bout black history and culture in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. One of these articles was about his find ings in the Archives of the lnd ias in Seville, Spain. According to Rosa- Allen , Schomburg had been told by the Spanish teachers who had educated him in Puerto Rico th at al l blacks had co me to the new world as slaves. But in the Archives Schomburg discovered that ··we didn't just come to th e Americas in slave ships, tha..t in fact some of us ca me as conquerors Through the research that led him to the Archives of the lndias and also through hi s collecting.

"' His anicles and his co llectio n. in its very mass, showed black Americans that they had a hist ory and culture all over the world, that they were not beasts or animals." Y ct. Rosa-Alle n continued, despite the magni tu de of Schomburg's contribution to the black ans moveme nt in the 20th century and his scholarly achievements, people have only very recently begun to stud y him. '' Hi s achievements are certainly comparable to those of notable white hist orians of the period. Why is there this great omission?" she asked. According to Rosa-Allen, the lack of books on Schomburg renects an attitude in acade mia that " Pueno Rican and black culture are not worth invest igating." This attitude, said Rosa-Allen, has made her task as a Schomburg scholar more difficult. "Puerto Ricans especially are freque ntly . told in the sc holarly journals that we have no literary tradition in this country." Thus to write on Schom burg, who was both blac.k and Puerto Rican , "is to go against traditional notions of culture in academia. It is to refute long-held not io n s abou t people and their con tributio ns to American history," Rosa-Allen explained. " T h e academy, " she added, "is the hardest place to fight. There's no kicking or punching, no dogs or water hoses, although sometimes you swear you can see the white robes." And •lltimately, said Rosa-Aile~. both academia and the American people suffer from this kind of closed· minded ness. "I think it's very sad that we in this country will never get to know who we are as a whole, unless scholan begin to look at history from unbiased viewpoints. " We need to put all the pieces together if we are going to continue to move forward as a country,'' Rosa-A llen concluded. 4D �March 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 20 SUNY SAT System links all 64 campuses By ED KIEGLE Repor1er Stafl I nS1allat10nofSUNYSAT.aSUNY· w1dc )a tclhtc televisiO n commu n ica· tKJn!<i sys tem. has been completed at B.

Derek LaMarche, SA director of aeadcmic affairs, chaired the meeting. . Associate Registrar Raymond Orrange said the record ttigh enrollment has resulted in longer lines for drop/ add . More classes have been closed, he said , and there is less of a course selection because of the enrollment "c runch. Two speakers suggested reducing the number of hours (now 19} for which students can register. Dennis Malone of Engineering proposed charging a fee for dropping a course. But others noted that departments sometimes drop or re· schedule courses, thus forcing st udents to change their plans. SA Academic Council Chair Thomas T Rogers said the "' notion of a fcc presupposes that there is no legitimate reason for dropping a course." One possible solutioll to the course crun ch , LaMarche said , would be to add prerequisites to many upper level courses that now lack them. Under the present set-up, he explained, many advanced courses are filled by freshmen and other students who want to satisfy their gcncrjl( education requirements. This, in effect, locks out the upperclassmen who need these courses for their majors, he said. Ji>e Krakowiak, director of the Office of Student Life, called for fuller and more accurate course descriptions.' If complete course descriptions are lacking on any widespread ~asis, said Robert Chatov of Management, then "thert is no excuse for it." Stanley Bruckcnstein of Chemistry said there should be "very serious penalties" for student s who register for a lab and then drop out. A place is thus "wasted permanently." he said . 0 n the subject of campus cri me and violence. LaMarche asked Madiso n Boyce. director of the Housing / Residence Life Offia!, whether locking the dormitory doors is a feasible idea. Boyce responded that his office is experimenting with computerized locking on the Main Street Campus, and hopes to have the hardware in place there by the end of the semester. However, Ellicott, with its approximately 80 doors, still poses a problem, he said. Several speakers singled out the Ant iRape Task Force for praise. William Miller of Dental Medicine said the task force needs more volunteers. Anthony Lortnu:tti of the Provost's Office said U B has a "sterling history of being open" about campus crime statistics. D iscussion then turned to parking. AI Ryszka of Campus Services said that although pa rk ing lots on the spine arc 98 per cent mled between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m ., there is space in the shuttle lots. He said shuttle service now starts at 7:45 a.m. in lots P9 and P IO. Funhcr, the vans now have radio co mmunication, allnwing them to alcn headquarters to various probleou, Ryszka reported. Responding to claims that some students are unaware of the shuttle service, Victor Doyno of English suggested that signs be put up in the popular lots referring individuals to the shulllo lots. Ryszka said this was a good idea. Ryszka added that the parking lots will soon be given names; these will be based on the nearest buildirlg. Dorothy Wynne, director of advising, said that each adviser now has one hour of drop-in time a week to deal with students with special problems. Those students who have been told that they can' be given .appointments for several weeks should call and _get the needed information over the phone, or say the problem needs a quick solution and she will try to fit them in. ~ �March 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 20 Blinken, Cuomo clash over tuition hike issue UNY Trustees Chairman Donald Blinken and Gov . Cuomo clashed sharply this week over the issue of a tuition hike to ease SUNY budget woes. Following the Feb. 22 SUNY Trustees meeting. Blinken said tuition should be increased this year for State 'residents if the Legislature adopts Cuomo's proposed budget. Most students in SUNY could afford a mode st increase. sai d Blinken . If approved. it would be the first tuition S nor for a 8.4 per cent budget increase to $1.45 billion in State funding for the 1989-90 budget year, but Cuomo instead proposed a 2.7 per cent increase to $1.36 billion. The executive budget for 1989·90 would give SUNY $47 million less than it says it needs to maintain programs at their current level. S UNY officials have said that without a tuttton mcrease or more money from the State, SUNY would have to consider eliminating up to 1, 100 jobs and shutting down some programs. Cuomo has consistenlly opposed any incre3.se in tuition. Last week, following Blinken's commepts. he reinforced his position with a fie.rcc attack on SUNY's stance. .. It 's an outrage. h's wrong;· Cuomo said of a tuition increase. If SU Y offi· cials can't save money in other ways. he said. ""then they should get new manag· ers. ·· Indeed.

Cuomo told reporters that Blinken "s statement was .. a typical, predictable, political' response" to the State's hard financial times. Further. Cuomo said, Blinlcen 's statement does not fit in with his hope of some day making SUNY tuition-free. But Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone rebutted the criticism of SU Y man· agement. ''There is no magic thing called management that can absorb a cut of megamillions and have there some how be no consequences to things that matter to you and me .·· he ~aid Tuesday. Johnstone said SUNY has ··pa1d ext rao rd inary attention·· to good man - can' agement principles. It has "done more less," and borne its share of the State's financial problems. SUNY has cut back more than 3.000 jobs over the last decade , he said . ~ with V ice President for University Relations Ronald H. Stein offered this assessment: .. 1 believe that in the end , once the political process has played itself out, a reasonable solution to the $47 million reduction will have emerged . Part of the solution will be a modest tui· tion increase. That 's the only way to avoid drastic enrollment cuts - which would raise admission standards even higher and de ny access to many students who are academically qualified. "The other parts of the solution will be a cenain amount of legislative restorati o n, and finally , so me reductions by SUNY . This seems to me to be realistic; and I think the political process 10 the · end IS u s uall y realistiC "nd pragmatic 4D Rote exercises out-of-~ate, Math ed panel says By ED KIEGLE Reporter Stall nyonc who remember!:~ grade school can recall end less colu mns of problems intended to teach mathematic !:~, but more frequently interpreted as a form or cruel and unusual punishment. According to Anthony Ralston . professor of co mputer sc1ence and mathematiCS. such rote exercise!:~ may actually disadvantage elementary sc hool students. Ral ston served on a panel established by the National Research Council that recently investigated the problems facing mathematics education 1n America. In a report entitled ""Everybody Counts: A · Re port to the Nation on the Fu ture of Mathematics Education."the panel concluded th a t American students arc receiving a poor education in mathematICS 10 light of modern scie nce and technology. The 70-member panel questioned the method of secondary sc hool math education. suggesting that it was ou t-of-date in the "information age." 'The pattern in elementary school is not to lecture, but to assig n busywork. dmos full of prolflems.'" Ralston said. "The report was quite clear that this mode of presentation is not necessari ly ~ the best way. It is generally agreed that ~II'~ the amount of math drills and practice is 0 a vast overki ll. " A Also. instead of teachers simply talk· ing to the studen ts, Ralston suggested that group work could be assigned . "There are many things in mathematics that can be usefully done by groups of students." he said. " It may be the case that. in groups with students of various abilities. the weaker will learn from the stronger."ln Ralston's opinion, it is time to ""break the hold of pencil and paper a rithmetic" in teaching math . " It is probably true that most kids hated the rote work.'" he said. ··But until the last 15 or 20 years. they could go out of the sc hool and see peopie doing it - in the stores or a t home. Now·. kids go out and sec: everyone pushing buttons on a machine." Traditionally. calculators are taboo in the classroom, but in this respect Ralston is not traditional. .. Well-directed exercises using a calculator will teach kid s more about math than pencil and paper exercises." he said. Ralston added that there is a considerable body of research that suggests the learning of basic malhematical skills is not inhibited by i~ the use of calculators in early grades. " Arithmetic that can't be done men tally should be done on a calculator." he went on. "There is very little in between ." It would be unreasonable to pull out a calculator to add three and two , for example. but for more coniplex problems a calculator is more convenient. He added : "Because students have dif· ferent abilities. we have to ask ' what level of mental arithmetic can reasonably btlearned by most students?' Some students will be ab le to learn more . but beyond that level. almost everything can be done on a calculator." T he problems with mathemalics edu· cation are not isolated in lower level education, according to Ral ston. "Most university math teaching is quite poor, and this serves as a role model for lower level math teaching," he said. Anthony RalsJon Overlooking Ihe 1mpac1 of computers 1S a senous problem To Ralston , a significant problem IS the failure to appreciate the "revolutionary" 1mpact of co mput ers on mathematics and mathematics education. " lr. ffi) opmio n. there i!:l not a smglc classroom in the Umver!:IIIY that IS well-equipped to usc co mputers as part or the educational process." he rema rked . adding tha.t "there IS very httle in undergraduate math that co uld not be enhanced by the use of computers. " In the past Ralston said. computers were not a viable possibility due to the excessive cost, but that has changed . He suggested th at math teachers. on both the secondary and un iversity level. are · reluctant to change their teach ing methods, and are slow in accepting new teaching aids. alston's opinions differ mo st strongly from those expressed in the report on the subject or instituting changes that could improve math education. "I am in favor of tryi ng to develop a national curriculum . Not a determined. da y-by-da) routine. but a broad o utline of what math educauon sho uld be."" he said. "The problem is that a decentralized , locally controlled educational system makes instituting changes very difficult. " he added. " But this is part of the Ameri· can tradition ... Overall, Ralston is .. not optimistic" about the future of mathematics education in the United States. ··we are on the down side of a slippery slope." he remarked. "If we are weak in Q.Y!_educational system, we will be weak in science and technology. and weak economically." R 4D �Mardl2, 1118 .

Representatives of the cen ter's first sponsor and three industries negotiating membership are evaluating funding proposals from 17 U B researchers at tbe meeting in the University at Buffalo Foundation Incubator at Baird Research Park. The Center for Biosurfaces was desig· nated an Industry/ University Cooper•· live Research Center by the National Science Foundation last August. It anticipates annual federal funding of $75,000 for operational costs for five years under the designation, according to Robert E. Baier, Ph. D ., center co--<li=tor. Baier said the UB center is the only one of 40 such NSF-<Iesignated centers nationwide dedicated to the study of the interactions of biosystems with manmade materials. "A lot oft he_technological advances of the future will be based on controlling the interaction of man-made materials with living materials," said Baier. "That's the special regime in which the Center for Biosurfaces will operate." Baier, UB research professor of bi<>ph}'sical sciences, is co--<lirector of the center with Joseph A. Gardella, Jr .. Ph . D . , UB associate professor of chemistry_ The center will conduct basic research in areas of biological surface science that are of interest to its sponsoring industries, each of which will hold a seat on its advisory board. Research supported by the center wm be funded by annual contributions of $40,000 from each participating industry and an estimated $200,000 a year from the State-funded U B Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) in Healthcare Instruments and Devices. Baier said the 17 funding proposals will be reviewed by represent_atives of the U.S. Office of Naval Research , which has signed a three--year sponsorship contract with the center. and three industries with which it is negotiating membership. They are: Davis and Geck Division of American Cyanamid Co. of Danbury, Conn.; GIBCO Laboratories Division of Life Technologies Inc. of Grand Island; and Nobelpharma USA Inc. of Cbicqo.

Art and the Law .. se ries gi ven last Sunday at the Albrigh1-Kno x An Gallery by Gil ben Edelson. ad minis· tratt ve vtcc prcstdcnt of the Art Dealers Assoctation of America . Edelson said he came to his subject with a .. sense of regret .. at the emphasis on art as .. investment device to the det riment of aesthetic vaJues ." After noting some of the more conspicuous multimil- lion dollar sales in recent years. Edelson challenged the public notion that these few overinflated prices are representative of the an world in J!:tneral . "Price inflation is basically limited to important works by large, established artists," he .said. "It has little or no effect on lesser works or less known artists." Yet the conviction lingers, leading many into the added misconception of art as a "good investment,~ Edelson said. Guides such as Sotheby's Art Index perpetuate the myth, but Edelson locates its real cause in changing socioeconomic patterns. "T be riel) were on:ce content with a yacht and an estate," he insisted . "Now they lind that they alSo need the social cachet of art.~ Edelson believes that new opportunities for aspiring or genuine collectors to deal dircct.ly with auction houses, rather than through private dealers. have contributed to the "an as investme nt~ mentality, if only by lowering the inhibitions an unsophisticated buyer usually feels with a dealer. The "comfort level is enhanced," he said, and a sense of drama is created by the auction houses to attract those who see an as an investment. Thus, according to Edelson, the unsophisticated buyer no longer has to deal with his sense of foreignness in a dcalcr's gallery. Larger international trends also con04 ooN·T BELl THE HYPE! delson also believes that the breakup of the "art market" into smaller sub-E markets accompanied the postwar shift during which time New York replaced Paris as the art capital of the world. Several changes have taken place in the primary and secondary art markets as a result, he said. In the primary market, or the first sale of a work of an, dealers often no longer buy a piece outright from an artist. Instead, they act as agents for the artists and work on 50 per cent commissions. art as Edelson said dealers then become less investment" attitudes.

It also lessens artisHicalcr loyalty, be said. not- tribute to price inflation and patient, unloading works as soon as pos· ing that legal contracts have begun to replace the traditional oral agreements. The secondary market, in which a collector resells a work if possible, is also undergoing change, Edelson said . But he stressed that very few artists - less than one~fourth of one per cent - have a resale market for their work . "Most an actually declines in value, though this shocks the unknowing,~ said Edelson. He illustrated this point with an anec. dote: "At the turn of the century, there were appro>timatcly 20,000 artists working in Paris. Today no more than 20 of them have 'arrived,' no more than 20 have a secondary resale market. Oh, the newspapers arc full of stories about million-<lollar profits during resale at the auction houses. But they never report when Christie's or Sothcby's refuses a collector's attempt to put a work he owns up for resale. believe the hype. an D that arc offered for resale. Sen. Ted Kennedy recentl y proposed a bill that espite the limited number of works would have given artists or their estates a .. royalty" on resold works . "Actually, " said Edelson. "royalties are per piece payments; the word is a misnomer. (The Kennedy bill) was in rei.lity a provision for compulsory profitsharing. (It was) rejected because the surlax would be a disincentive to the an market, because it would make the work of less established artists even more diffi. cult to resell, 'and because it has never worked where it was introduced . They tried it in Ca lifornia and Sothehy's closed their branch there. ~ Edelson then spoke of recent legislation to keep works of art in their country of origin. "The U.S. has agreed to respect the prolllbitions of other countries on exports of art they deem important to their national cul~ure, ~ he said. "Actual laws differ from nation to nation and arc actually quite involved ," be noted. France, for example, has a prohibition on works looted by Napoleon from Italy. They also "notify" paintings, barring them forever from export. When an export license is sought in England for i work considered vital to the national culture, English museums are given the opportunity to acquire the work first. I t is these same countries, Edelson remarked, that often fail to respect the export prohibitions of other countries. A side effect of the export prohibitions. he said, is their tendency to drive up the prices of art works outside the nat ion. "That's why French Impressionist paintings will sell for ten times more in America than they would in France. They arc that much more difficult to come by .~ The lecture was co-sponsored by UB and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. 4D 'Oh, the news-papers are full of stories about million-dollar profits, but art as an investment is a risky enterprise.' - GILBERT EDELSON Don~ as investment is a risky enterprise ... � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

A The 73-page soft-<:over book replaces the 1983-85 version. ... About 90 per cent of the material is new or significantly revised , •• said Welch ... The reason for so much new material arose from our conception of what the handbook should do. There is first of all, a traditional conception of the handbook." Such traditional material, Welch said, includes an organizational chart. a Hst of administrative responsibilities. the bylaws of the voting faculty, the charter of the Faculty Senate, and so on. "An approach of this son says, •tel"s have the nuts and bolts of hGw we run ,' " said Welch. .. We dearly have that material. But there are man y other policies that are clearly imponant in the running of our academic lives. So we said that secondly we should try to define what are the basic policies that should be included ." For faculty , the most important of these, said Welch. are the Policies, Procedures and Criteria for Faculty Personnel Actions, having JO do with promotion and tenure.. These were revised, and clarified "in very significant ways and this process was completed (only) last year," Welch said. "So we needed to have this information in its newly clarified form." Also included is the 1986 statement on academic freedom. a clarified policy on sabbatical leaves, and other important new material. elch added that the committee wished to make the: handbook "a useful reference .- something that would be important and interesting to read about the services that are avai lable to faculty and staff. .. Accordingly.there are two sections that are ''totally new."' Those are " Re sea rch Services and POlicies" a nd "U niv e rsi ty Support Services." W In writing the new handbook the committee examined handbooks from .. a number of other universities," said Welch ...There was quite a variation. The University of Texas, for example, had what I would call an administrative manual, that was several hundred pages of procedures, very detailed, dealing with such things as how do you get travel reimbursements, I would say it was a lot of 'ad minis-trivia,' "said Welch. But the committee found an interest- ing example in an "excellent" facult y handbook published by Cornell University . .. It was just something that was really interesting to read, "' Welch said. The book. was presented in such a way as .. to malce an individual proud to be a member of the Cornell University faculty." In short, the co mmittee aimed for a readable, informative mix that would not quickly become outdated . "We also had to balance our goal with the time and staff resources that were available, .. said Welch. The book is published with holes cut in it, so that people who want to rip it a pan and put it in a three-ring binder, can then insert new material. Central funds were allocated for the project. These were then administered through the Office of · University Relations.

Kaufman said . As an exam pl e, he noted the Air Fo rce's view of close air s uppon . This US AF missi o n entails providing bombing suppon to front line troops , usi ng A· IO planes to deliver the -ordnance . 0 Kaufman said the Air Force has placed this at a low priorit y. "An A-10 th at co mes off the production lines goes immediately to the Air Force Reserve. (The A·IO's) missio n is to provide close a1r suppon to the American Army if it gets engaged in a conventional war. "If hostilities break o ut in Europe. basically what the Air Force is saying to the Army is. ·you guys hold "em off and we11 get th e planes th ere in abo ut JO da ys. as soo n as we can ge t the Air Natio nal Gua rd mo bilized .'" Although close air supp o rt is no t see n by the Air Force as an imponan t pan of ti s mlSsio n. the Ar my ,.., more acu tely affected by th e need for th at kmd of plane. "Tht A rm y says if that 's the case. it shou ld be ab le to supply its own air supp ort ." Howe ve r , the three branc he s divided up the jobs of the military in the Key West agreement of 1948, Kaufm an said. One of the things that the army can '1 d o is have fixed-winged aircraft. .. So we designed a plane that d oesn ~ look like a pl a n e . And it 's ca lled an attack helicopter." Kaufman said the cost of the helicopter is much higher than the cost of a corresponding, and more air-wo rthy, A·IO. .. From the Army 's perspective , is this a rational thing to do? Sure it is. F or those of you wh o are in the ranks of the beleaguered tax payer. is it a rational thing "for the natio n to do? Prob3bly not.

When you work out a logical o r mathematical pro blem. there is the joy of intellectual creation. but nothing tangible happens - you can't go o ut and build a better bndge . .. An yo ne who plays chess will agree that poor reasoning will lead to a quick loss.

Spangler sai d his co mmittee began its work. in earnest in 1985. Though it reviewed gradu a te bylaws a t other sc hoo ls, its interviews with deans , the execu ti ve committee of th e Graduate School, several graduate students. and others proved "the most use ful" in writ ing the document , Spangler sa id during an interview. He commented : "The [acuity had a great deal of frustration with the operations of the Graduate School, primarily at the intermediate leve l, th a t is in the divisi onal committees, where most of the substantive ~ark of graduate education is done . The divisional committees, Spangler explained, were established, in the existSchool as far as the mechanics of d oing things. The divisional co mmittees were also too much bogged d own in roucinc administrative task s, rather than think ing about more substa nt ive iss ues o f graduate education . .. The divisional co mm ittcs, Spangle r explained, we re established . in the existing bylaws . .. as an in te rmedia te: leve l o rga ni za tion in the G radua te Sc hool. being the mechani s m by which the fac ult y can exercise oversight into the qu"ality a nd progress of grad uate education. They were esta bl ished to co nform with the ad ministrative structure of the University at that time ... Apart from th e health sciences divisio nal committee, the di vis io nal committees arc csscnti ally analogous to faculties operating unHcr dea ns, Spangle r said . n writing the new bylaws , said Spangler, .. we're trying to promote the development of interdisci plinary activi" tics, to pro vide an atmosphere th at is optimal for graduate education. We want to emph asize the coo perative nature that has to be there between the traditional administra ti ve structure and the peo pl e who a rc involved in the trenches '"graduate education ." I The Spangler com mittee sees the proposed interdivisional ··area commi ttees" as .. not on ly a means fo r doing the business of graduate education. but also a very effective means for disseminating ideas in a broader area than in the i ns u ~ tar areas in which mo st Ph . D .s a rc prepared.'" Also. dean s are no t mcncioned in the earl ier document. Accordingly, Spangler sa id . the new bylaw s make "so me attempt to define the ro le of deans in graduate education ... In summary. the proposed new bylaws would : • enhance the fle xi bilit y or the Grad· uatc School st ructure , to better accommodate the .. changing complexio .. of graduate education .. in an increasingly interdisciplinary context." To do this, several interdivisional area committees an: proposed : • enable the divisional a nd area co mmittees to devote more attention to .. substantive academic issues by promoting the transfer of routine elements in the administration of graduate education to the offices of the academic deans: .. • define the role or the dea ns o r academic units invo lved in graduate educatio n, .. consiste nt with the reality that the graduate enterprise is a cooperat ive e ndeavo r or the [acuity supported by the administra tive structure;" • reemphasize the role of the graduate fac ult y i n gove rn i ng the Graduate School, with the executive co mmittee se r vi n g as the fac ult y's s teering committee. pangler said the present bylaws we re adopted ··early in the SUNY era:· before the big growth in graduate educatio n here. Ea rly on, Spangler sai d . "'we identifacd three primary objectives of the Graduate School: achievement of excellence , promotion of interdisciplinary activities, and improvement of the academ ic environment of graduate education . .. As our deliberations progressed , guided by these broad objectives, it became abundantly evident that line-byline amendment of the present bylaws would produce a document with little se nse of integrity and coherence~ For this reaso n , we have submitted a rewrittCJrset of byla ws , proposed in total substitution for the existing document. ... S CD �Febru•ry 23, 1989 Volume 20, No. 19 'Art Law:' could the term be an oxymoron? By JEFFREY TREBB Repor1er Statl tephen Weil, deputy dirc:ctor of the Hirs hhorn Mu seum and Sculpture Garden of the Smith· sonia n Institution. opened a fo ur-part .. Art and the Law " lecture series Sunday by detailing "Some Strange Intersections '" between the two fields . The discussion was held at the Albri ght-Knox An Gallery and cosponsored by the UB An History Departmen t a nd the UB La w School. A lawyer who received hi s degree from Columb ia Univers it y Law School and a S sc holar who has served as a director of the Whitney Museum , Weil claimed that ··an Jaw" would at first appear to be an oxymoron . "Art has always dealt with spon taneous feelings and emotional respo nses, Weil said . "Law, by co ntrast. typically co ncern s itse lf wi th conduct and obligation ... Despite any obvio us relat io n , he said. the present century has seen a growing en tan gleme nt between the two, leading to paradox. irony. a nd confusion . Law has been generally unable to deal with a work of art strictly as a work of an. Weil exp lained . Ci ting Duchamp's urinal, he noted th a t modern artists often take a mund a ne, eve ryday object and magica ll y turn it into a work o f art . The process is si m ilar with an and law. Much h kc: th e tr ansform ation of an object int o an . law usually charac teri7.es art as ~o mcthing else. s uch as speech . wri ting. or pro pert y. Weilth en me ntioned several less-thanreverent depictions of the U.S . flag by art ists in the late 1960s. If their depicti ons were to be challenged under local nag desecration statut es, the y would have to be conside red a form of speech , he said . One ruling said exactly this, calling art a .. sy mbolic fo rm of speech, understood by those who view it.·· I f an is a form of speech, is it also a form of writing? ls the creator of an an author? These seldom-explored questions arc relevant if artists wish to copyright their works, said Weil. The source of our copyright laws, Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. grants Congress the power to .. promote the progress of science and the uSeful arts by securing for limited times to ·authors' and inventors the exclusive right to their respect ive 'writings' and discoveries ... CQngress has taken for granted that pictorial and plastic arts are a form of writing and therdo"' worthy of protection under the Constitution . .. But the Supreme Court has never discussed the issue until recently," Weil added. "1111 come up in a case they're now reviewing between a Baltimore activist group and the artist commissioned to erect a sc ulpture." Time-Life Books and several leading Washingto n law firms have entered the di spute on the side of the organization that conceived the idea of the sculpture, developed an intended design, and commissioned it. Freelance writers, artists, and ph otographers, and their lawye rs. have like· wise joined with the anist in his attempt to win co pyright for the work he executed , We iI said . noting the trial's larger imp lications. The attorney said that , althoug h he can 't predict the outcome. the court will probably decide that one of the two parties is ind eed an au th or and that the sc ulpture is a writing. .. But eve n assuming that an is writing, that is still not enough for copyright protection. The work must also be original," Weil said, before mentioning several works in which artists incorporated ei ther co pyrighted products or the works of another artist in their paintings. Weit explained : .. The courts have already decided that it is not the constituti ve elements but ~he way the y are arranged that makes for originality. Just as a musician can usc a variety o f .notes and a nove list can use all words t it was decided that artists can use any images, even copyrighted images, if they are co mbined in an original statement. .. an an also be classified as property? In the case of certain artistic craftworks the answer is ob\tious, said Well. They were clearly created as a commodity intended for sale. But be then related a recent case in Englaod's High Coun of Justice that attempted to answer the same question. h involved an lith century Brahmin sculpture of the dance of Shivs, dedicated to the Hindu god. Unearthed by a landless laborer, it eventually ended up in the possession of a London an collector before the Indian go vernment claimed it as its exclusive property. During a long investigati on of Hindu custom and tradition , the court at one point considered declaring a Shiva lin gam (emblem) to be the owner. According to Weil, the court said it was no mo re inconceivable th at a lingam co uld be the owner of the sculpture than a-co rpo ra tion could be, since both arc legal fictions . Eventuall y th e court awarded owner· sh ip to a no longer existing temple , long since abandoned . Somewhat predictably. the ruling is und er a ppeal. But as Weil poi nted o ut , the fi nal o utco me will have a sharp impact o n current efforts to return " heterogeneo us works of an to their native soil" In addition to the se unfini shed attempts to define art, Wei l also exam- C ined the present legal interrelations between art, individuals, and the larger public. He noted "Louis Brandeis' 19th ce ntury invention of the right to privacy," deeply established in U.S. law. and protecting individuals from unwanted publicity in a wo rk of art. Corresponding to this right of privacy is the individual's right of exclusive publ icity , the freedom of the individual to exploit his name , voice, image, likeness, or signature. But Weil explained that , unlike the privacy law, the right to exclusive publicity continues past the grave, usually enforced by heirs. h was tested in an interesting court battle several years ago over a Warbol lithograph of John Wayne. The Wayne estate claimed that the value of the work was not in the artistry, but in its subject. The coun decided in Warhol's interest, claiming that if there were no restrictions on biograp hical words there should also be no restrictions on images. Yct it made clear that the exemption applied only to single and original works of art. ..The reverse of this protection of art as a form of speech, .. Weil said , .. was the questio n of libel. Various courts have si nce co ncluded that the anist should be held to the same libel standard s as if he used the printed word." We il finally consid ered public wrongs possi bl y caused by art. Fo r instance, he said , it is a crime to reprod uce curre ncy. But the co uns a rc having difficulty defining the disti nction betwc:t:n painti ng and co unterfeiti ng. T he artists' interests ca n also clash with th ose of the public over "moral rights ," the attorney said . The phrase refers to the artists' right to protect the integrity of his wor k from mutilati o n or des truction eve n after rel inquishin g ownership. Developed in 19th century France, the idea was s low to be established in the U.S . Laws heJt in America vary widely , Weil said , ranging from a California stat· ute that pro tects the integrity of a work of art, to New York laws that protect the reputation of the art ist. He used the last sc ulptur e of Duchamp-Villon as an example of conmeti ng interests. It was later enlarged with different materials to produce a piece qu ite different than the original. Said Weil: "Certai nl y the work was changed in scale and composition and the California moral rights laws would a ppl y. " But in reference to the New York laws, it cou ld be argued that his reputa tion was actually enhanced by th e change. Add to this the irony th at his own brothers. the traditional enfo rcer s of mo ral rights clauses. were the ones responsible for altering hi s work . Obviously. we have many tensions between the artists' interests, our interest in histori cal accuracy. and the occasional benefits of an ' im proved form' which arc st iU unresolved . " We il gave another exa mple of the in abi lity of sta tutes to make fine dis tincti o ns. A bill was passed in Massachusetts outlawi ng the depiction of full fro ntal nudity of children und er the age of 18. ··what th e child -pornograph y statute didn't consider, " he said, "was the fact .. th at it m ade illegal everything fro m pictures of toddlers in the wading pool to Ren aissance Nativity scenes ... Weil conc luded: .. These are o nl y some of the more conspicuous cases in today's art law, in which conflicts arise from the best of m ot ives - patriotis m , privacy, and the well-being of children. But as the co ntrovers y o ve r Salman Rushd ie 's Satanic Verses al so shows, the right to s peak is inseparable from the right to be spoken to . The artist's right to paint is inseparable from our right to view a work of art."

The letter abo implies that the Department of StatistM:s may not accept the Triggle Committee's proposal for additional joint appointments of biostatisticians in FNSM and Health Sciences, because faculty rate biostatistics unimponant for the ir discipline and, therefore , do not perceive the need for professionals in this field , nor an interest in it by good prospective Ph.D. studen ts outside Buflalo. (Surely th is last con tention should be supported by data?) Given the long history of th is depanmentaJ conflict and the unfavorable outlook for its resol ution by compromise. if Dr. Ralston is to be believed , I am not surprised that the University administration proposes to transfer the: Department of Statistics to the School of Med icine. Nevertheless, I remain convinced that the interests of the University would be better served by accep ting the proposals of the Triggle Committee, aHeast as regards joint appointments of bionatisticians in FNSM and Health Sciences. 0 - PETER H. STAPLE Professor Emeritus �February 23, 1989 Volume 20, No. 19 Language teacher is UB's new soccer coach By EO KIEGLE Reporter StaH I f good com mun ication is th e key to successful coachi ng. J o hn Astud illo is a perfect choice to coach th e men's socce r team. With his position as direct or of the modern languages dcpa{tme nt of Williamsvi lle North to co mplement his mo re th an 10 years of coaching, Astud ill o IS prepared to take o n the job o f upgrading the team to DivISIO n I standards. " I don) thmk 111 have any trou ble bala ncing the two Jobs ... Astudill o said ass uredly. "M y job at UB will start when my JOb at Williamsvi lle Nort h fi nishes." In .other words. respo nsibilities at the h1gh sc hool will not interfere with !l um mer trai ning. As a further precaution. Astudillo as ked th at away games be sc heduled on weeke nd s ... , will co nt inue to teach There is no reaso n th at o ne job has t ~ 1nterfere with the other," he remarked . Astudillo's career in teachin g arose out of his studies at Buffalo State and UB. He recel'ved a bachel o r of a rts from Buffal o State , then a master's degree in tt:ac hing from U B in 1974. " I have been tc ach mg for 16 or 17 years," he said . It was through Williamsville North tha t he became involved in coac hin g the , port. '' Beginning in 1973. I coached at the JUnior va rsit y level for fo ur years. th (' n the va rs ity team.· · Astu d illo c>.pta ined . " In 1980. I sta n ed coaching the Wes tern Regio n tea m at the: Empire State Games. a nd I have been doi ng that until now." Teams led by Astud1ll o ha ve been q uite: successful. At Williamsville North. his teams went to five divisio nal cham pio nsh ips and four Section VI titles. His teams in the Empire State Games have netted two gold, three silver, and four bronze medals. In 1982 and 1988, he was named Coach of the: Year by the Western New York Soeeer Officials. Despite his love for the game, teaching has remained his top priority, and an advantage on the soccer field . .. 1 have always thought of coach ing as teachi ng - yo u a re co nveying ideas, .. he said a midst the trophies and plaques in his office. ..You are communicating concepts you believe in strongly, and for a teacher, that comes as second nature . .. A not her advantage Astudillo brings to his coaching is sim ply the contact with young students for over 16 ')'ears. "Teaching gives you certain insights on the mood s of the kids," he said. " When you are in co nsta nt contact with kids, yo u are a ble_to recognize: certain things ... Until now, Astudillo has worked with ado lescents. The coach is not reluctant to "A s the schedule gets more difficult, there will be a need for better pia yers and ~tter recruitment, but th'e real challenge is molding the present players. " work with the UB team, however. He is anxio us to start the upgrade to Division I. " As the schedule &ets more difficult, there: will be a need for benc:r players, a nd that means better recruitment." he said . T he major changes will be in the qualit y demanded from the players and the intensity of the training . .. It 's not going to be II players out, and II new players in." he was quick to point out. ..The majority of the playe rs on the team now a"' good players. We might need to rec ruit a coupi'C of players for specific positio ns , but the real chaJiengc: of the job will be molding the present players." Astudillo is happy with the sports facilities UB has to offer. "The training room, locker room and support facilities arc idea l," he noted . "There is a night stadium and field s that can be played on after rain. .. Soccer was not made to be played on artificial turf." he added . "The fields here arc ideal - the y lend them selves to excellent play." Astudillo's greatest dilemma is not the team or the turf, but his teaching . .. , put so much time into teachj ng, but it never seems as rewarding as my coaching," he: co nfessed . .. When coaching soccer, the rewards are more immediate. But I love teaching. Soccer is just a passion. " Hopefully, it is a passion strong enough to make a name for UB in Divisio n I soccer. 6'f UB physician heads project to improve efforts of FDA By ARTHUR PAGE • News Bureau Staff UB expert in infecti o us d isea ses ha s been named director of a new project that will explore ways to improve the U.S. Food and Drug Administrati on's drug-approval process. The two-year project also will develop recommendations for enhancing the fed e ral age ncy's monitoring of drug s already on the market for early warnings of serious adverse reactions in patients . Thomas R . Beam, Jr. , M.D., associate professor of medicine and microbiology, will head the project, to be conducted under a $280,550 contract between the FDA and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). He also is associate chief of staff for education and former chief of infectious disease at Buffalo Veterans Administration Medical Center. Beam, who will work at the federal ageney in Rockville, Md ., for the next six months was selected from more than 30 membe,.;. of the 2,650-member professional society who applied to head the project. He will collaborate with FDA officials, l'<presentatives of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, national A leaders in academic medicine. and appro ximatel y 50 membe rs of the IDS A wh o will serve on project subcomm ittee s. bile the project will focus spccificillly on antibiotics, Beam said th e process potentially could be applied to drug groups across the board . "Chances of this program accomplishing its goals are excellent, beca use it is a cooperative effort betwee n the regulatory agency, the specialty physician community, and the pharmaceutical industry," Beam noted. He praised the IDS A for initi ating the project and the FDA for welcoming the cooperative effort between the professional society and federal agency. "To their credit, they recognize that the system is flawed ," Beam added . Problems have been highlighted in l'<eent years by complaints that the FDA drug-approval process delays unneeessarily the approval of new drugs , some of which alread y are available in other countries. Critics of the process calling for reforms have ranged from AIDS activists to officials at the National Cancer Institute. Despite the lengthy process designed to maximize the safety and efficacy of new drugs , Beam noted that some med i- W cati ons approved by the FDA still have been implicated in serious adverse reactions and patien t deaths. "The drug de ve lopment and regulatory process that now takes 10 to 12 years can not guara ntee safety. " according to Beam. ··At issue is whether th e com po und ing of regulati ons benefits anyo ne," he added . "It delays the entry of good drugs into the marketplace, creates tremendous costs for the pharmace utical indus try and is costly to the FDA. It can mean that the American public does not get access to drugs as quickly as those in Europe, Japan, and the rest of the world ." The classic example ci ted to defend the FDA's conservative approach on drug approval is that of thalidomide, which caused major birth defects in the children of pregnant women who used it in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The drug was not approved for clinical use in the U. S. when the birth defects appeal'<d in children born in West German y a nd Great Britain , where it was aJready available. hile the layers of regulations built into the review process since then have stretched out the drug-approval W protocol in the name of safety, Beam noted that "the reeent history of drug development has not been one of uni fo rmly successful protectio n of the American public . .. He cited the exa mple of benaxoprofen (Oraflex ). anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of arthritis that won the FDA 's stamp of approval, yet later was associated with serious complications and the deaths of several patients. Also of recent vi ntage, he added, were the cases of ticrynafen (Selacryn), a diuretic shown to be associated with irreversible liver damage and patient deaths after it was approved for marketing, and moxalactam (Moxam), an antibiotic that caused severe internal bleeding in some patients.

"One of the members suggested we try •cylinder chess,' " said Berry. "In that variation , you have to imagine that the edges of the board connect. ... One of the most common ways of playing is "speed chess" or "blitz chess" in which a timer is employed , giving a limited total amount of time for all a player's moves . "Usually. a player has a maximum of five minutes total in which Berry. ... And since a game takes at most ten to complete all the moves." said minutes, you can play 20 games per night."

Mar k Natanzon, a member of the club. will take on his fellow s tudents . To a devoted chess player, the game is very aesthetic. "'A beautiful chess game is a work of art," Lambros mused . "In truly great games, there is a clear theme running from the beginning to the middle to the end - like a symphony. Great games are immortalized and referred to again and again." But Lambros did reveal the downside of chess. "When I was just married. I used to play in a lot of tournaments . I forced my wife to stay in a motel room while I played in a tournament in Rochester one New Year's Eve. I got in at about I a.m ., and I won. but she still hasn\ forgiven me.

"'Except in the sex ual abuse cases," she went on _ In these si tuatio ns, the jurors were more likely to believe the children. "They seemed to think a five- o r sixyear-old was too young to make up an event like that. .. Prof. Goodman with Hanna Carter-Menn (left) in research settmg Goodman has also looked at the emotional effects of testifying in criminal coun on children who have been th e victims of sex ual assault. The st ud y was funded by prosecution process .. less harmful to children .... The most obvious solution I ) to videotape the child"s testimony for the co unroom. This, however, "is a violation of the dcfcndant"s Six th Amendment rights." Goodman said. According to the Sixth Amendment, the defendant has the right to confront his o r her accuse r. And , in fact , said Goodman. there was .. a recent Supreme Co un ruling sayi ng you can't have a ge neral law that would allow you to s how a videotape of the child instead of calling the child into the courtroom." Yet, in many cases, Goodman stated , .. the children have been threatened by the defendant that they will be killed. " if they tell anyone what happened. "It's a real dilemma." s he emphasized, "as to how to protect the child"s wcll·being and also preserve the defendant's rights." oodman came ~o UB from the U nivcrsity of Denver about a year ago, allractcd partly by financial .. bonuses that were hard to refuse, " but also by the Children in the Law Program at U B which "provided a good milieu for (~cr) work ." G Goodman·s main project at UB is a st udy of the effects of secrets on child· ren's reports. Involved in the project with Goodman arc graduate students B<:uc Bouoms. Cathy Carte r, and Beth Schwanz, and Mary Beth Wilson, a graduate of UB who is Goodman's full· time research assistant. As noted above, children who are sex· ually abused are sometimes threatened by the abuser with drastic consequences if they tell anyone what lias been done to them. Goodman•s study looks at how children respond in an interview when they're trying to keep a secret. "So far," ad milled Goodman, "they're not too good at it. But then no one's threatening to kill them either." Good· man also noted that this was another st udy when: ethical considerations did not allow for a complete simulacr~of the real life situation. • See CNidron. page 14 �J. ~,. ..... sculpture.

Prinunakers Andy Polk and Barbara Rowe visit> Bethune Gallery this month as guests of the V~it.ing Anist Lecture series. "Extruded, hothouse paintings.. like a MtxharW:> JUustmkd diagram for constructiug a tragedy," wrote one critic of worl<s by Polk. A painter as well as a prinunaker, Polk's zany scenarios have garnered praise - and giggles - from audiences and critics across the country. His work has been shown in New York City, Chicago, Texas, Arizona, and California. Currently on the faculty of the University of Arizona, Polk travels to UB for a lecture March 7 at 3 p.m. Barbara Rowe has been fascinated with the processes and mat<:rials of printmaking since she was an undergraduau: at Buffalo Slate, nearly 15 years ago. She has worked with lithography, silk screening, and etL:hing, often on handmade paper created specifically for a particular edition. In her work, she sees "the combinations and conD"aSlS of Robbe-Grillet Ill> One of the m~xciting and co ntroversial literary movements of the mid-20th century came onrilh the emergence of the nouvmu roman. o r new novel. Considered a son of "anti-novel," the movement represented a r.adical ovenhrow of the sryle and techniques of the conventional novel. In their search for new fonns of expression, the anti novelists tossed away the familiar elements of chardcter. cmenainment.., dramatic progress, and dialogue that revealed character or funhered the plot - along with any hint of subjectivity. Alain Robbe-Crillet is considered France's leadi ng spoktsman for the nouvtau roman . In Robbe-Crillet's first novel, The Err=rs ( 1953), critic Roland Banhes saw a revolutionary aspect comparable to the "surrealist auack on rationality." He won an award for his 1955 novel, ThL Voyror, and continued to break ground with such novels as jtalousy, In th. Labyrinlh, T<>f>oli>gy of a Phantom City, Proj<ct fur a Revolution in Nt:W Yor* , /.. 'lmm.otUI.le (a cine-novel}. and Djinn. He has also written screenplays for films including Alain Rcsnais' provocative "L.a.st Year at Marienbad." and has been a film director. His work has been lr.lnslated into 25 languages and has been the focus of innumerable critical analyses and studies. Robbe-Crillet visits UB for three days this month, counesy of the Melodia Jones Chair in Fn:nch, the English Depanment's Butler Chair, and the Media Study Depanmenl On March 14, he will n:ad from his 1985 novel, Le miroir qui rroimJ (soon to be published in English, as Ghosts in the MiTror). Anna Kay France of English will transla<e. The author will lecture in French on '"The French New Novel and Autobiography" on March 15.

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

The structure will be one of the most expensive the University has built, costing an estimated $75 million for Phase I alone. Wagner estimated that Phase I of the project will go to bid about April 1, 1990. A ''The architect is done with the sc he matics (and is) working on the design manual. The next step is the working drawings. which are the bid documents.·· He added : "'This is a building designed after so me buildings we visited around the col\ntry. h "s a vefy si mple interior format of replicated research spaces. as opposed to customized research spaces. The spaces are basically in modules th at repeat themselves ... Located at the west end of the spine. the complex will co nsist of three distinct buildings: a one-story lecture hall. an eight-level building for chemistry and organized research, and a building for geology, mathematics. and comp uter sciC nce. Wagner said the co mplex will be linked by covered connections to CookeHochst ellcr. Fronczak, and Talbert Halls. ·• The lecture hall and chemistry build· ing will be constructed in Phase I, Wagner told the council. The S28 million geology, math and computer science building is sla ted for Phase II . to be designed later. Tbe lecture building will have five Icc- ture halls and five classrooms. Wagner said .. it will be a one·floor version of the Knox Lecture Halls. where we would be holding instruction, not just for Chemistry. but for some of the units .. . that arc now teaching their classes in other spaces in the spine, including things like Wold· man Theatre and the Moot Court. "We will bring Moot Court back to its original purpose. . . .

Wagner said the upper three floors will · co nsist of wet research laboratories. He explained: "One of the new con.,.,pts that we·have worked into this particular facility is that the upper three floors arc not being assigned to (specific) programs, faculties, or to activities, but will be available as wet laboratory research spa.,.,_cithcr for the needs of Chemistry or other programs that the University is engaged in."

Forty will receive traditi onal ph ys ical therapy plus PQE three times a week for three months a nd 40 will serve as controls, receiving on ly traditional therapy thrice weekly for three months. Participants must be referred to the stud y by their physician. B researchers arc evaluating a new exercise program that has potential to improve the mobility of millions of Americans with arthritis of the knees. In earlier studi es, the researc hers showed that Progressive Quantitati ve Exe rcise (PQE) increased the strength of so me patie nts' leg muscles five-fold . dram atically improved fu nctioning of their knees and their mobilit y, and decreased pain. Subjects were able to walk beltcr. stand longer, and get out of a chair easier. One man, an avid fisherman who previously had to pay someone to carry his day's ca tch up a river bank, now boasts of being able to scale the slope while at the same time carryi ng his fish . U T he goal of PQE is to strengthen the quadriceps muscle by gradually a nd precisely increasing the amount of work it is required to perform ove r a threemonth pe riod . It involves iso metric exercise, focusing on contracting leg muscles wi th out moving the knee , and isotonic exe rcise, which includes extension of the knee.

The y have proved themse lves to be indispensa ble tools for man y researchers, and have inc re ased th e effective ness and range of teac hing in American universities. But along with the blessi ng comes th e curse. and with schools such as UB that rel y heavily on the power of computers. "there is a need for expert help in obtaining and ma int aini ng a co mputer sys1e: m . Tha t is wh ere th e Co mputing Ce nter co mes in. The un ass uming building lucked behind Fronczak Hall contains the heart a nd brai n of UB's computer network . In addition to providing access to the University's network to students a nd faculty .' th e center is able to link up wi th national network s suc h as BIT Net. ~ a nd NSF Net. According to Michael Shc r. director of academic com puting. there had been a move ment away fro m the larger system s. suc h as UB's VAX . to mo re ··personal " co mputers a nd small time-s haring networks. Howeve r. the power of larger systern s and the availability of nationwide ne tworking have lured many fac ult y back to the larger sys tem s that Sher calls '"the back bone network" of UB. A rece nt article published in the Chronicle of Higher Education described the move ment of university faculty members back to interaction with computing centers. Apparently, the individual des kt o p micros and small network s set up by many faculty have proved difficult to maintain as co mputers become more so phisticated . Still. some professors have chose n to set up th eir own small networks. called workstations. Accordi ng to Sher, there are between SO and 100 workstations on campus, a considerable increase from past years. ··workstations have become affordable." said Sher. "They cost about $5.000. an d the y have access t o networking." If the larger computer networks run on the same operating system as the work station (usually UN IX ). "you do C not ha ve to learn new commands to take advantage of the network s," Shc:r said . Alth ough workstations are affordable and can tap into powerful netwo rk s. there are oflen frustratillg problems for facult y members who use them ... You have to install them, support them. and keep them updated ," Sher commen ted. "'Workstation operating systems are getting too sophisti cated .

There has been a transi ti o n. but al so an expansion of the user community." said Sher, referring to the availability and convenience of smaller systems. These systems have drastically increased the number of co mputers on cam pus. '"There has been an increase in the number of users from aboul 10 10 20 per cent to approxi ma tely 70 or 80 per cent ... he added. The center helps facult y ins tall and obtain software and hardware for their systems and also helps in ... keeping them updated" in the rapidly advancing world of co mputer applications. F ew subjects have escaped the co m· puter. Sher offered a few examples. " In engineering. illustrations of complex ideas can be made more re alistic because the com puter takes out the mechanical calculations. In the human i· ties, there is the use of wo rd processo rs. In t he fine arts, computers can help in music co mposit io n." The wipespread use of computers in education is related to the avai lability of "There has been an increase in numbers of users from about 10 per cent of faculty to between 70 or 80 per cent. - MICHAEL SHEA the s maller or indi vidu a l sys tem s . according to Sher.

Their system ranges from an App leTalk netwo rk us ing App le Macintosh co mpu· ters to a SUN workstation and ties into the Uni versity mai nframe. "The Compu ting Center helped linked ET H ERnet ·to terminals in o ur labs and offices," said David Mark, professor of geogra phy. "We have had a lot of support and cooperation from the Comput· ing Ce nter.His depa rtment uses a program run o n the VAX to teach geography classes.

MacKINNON Dean, FaCulty of Social Sciences T he social sciences have a long history of prominence in the liberal arts. From their com mon intellect ual focus on human behavior. the various disci plines of social sciences have co ntributed to the understanding of such wide-ranging phenomena as the causes of war, the dynamics of group interaction. the fundamentals of cognitive processes, and the social co nsequences of technological change. Not surprisi ngly. man y of the most provocative think ers of the modern age - Marx. Freud, Durkheim. Lewin - have generated or utili zed theories of our collective disciplines. At base. the social sciences have attracted studen ts and scholars because th ei r co ncerns are intellectually sti mulating. socially sig nificant. an d operatio nally challenging. As the pace of tec hnological change quickens. we find o urselves at the center of imp on ant human adjustments: to the oppo rtunities and costs of a smaller world. to increasing demands on resources. to individual adaptation to a posHndustrial society. Our perspective on such questions is ce ntral. not only because they ask how peo ple can respond to environments that may be domina ted by new. scientifically defined challenges. but more fundamentall y because they hit at the core of human abilities and behaviors. In a very real sense, our most significant contributions derive from both our lo ng histo ry as students of the social world and our ability to extend basic knowledge to problems th at may well cross traditional borders between sociaJ sciences, natural scie nces, and the humanities. Social Science as Basic Knowledge Ha ppily, social sciences have never suffered more than temporary decreases in interest in their subj ect matter. To be.. sure, the fickleness of academic prefeiences, the reaJities of t he job market, and the emergence of promising fields have from time to time resulted in shifts to ot her a reas of study. Even such hard times, however. co uld not deval ue the essenti al intellectual appeal of rethinking Plato or Locke. analyzing evide nce from previous civilizations, conceptualizing the underlying causes of conflict and mechanisms for conflict resol ution . Howeve r great the tem ptation to emphasize the applied character of ou r fields, social science has never wavered in its commitment to the more basic study or the human condition. . The II departments within the Faculty of Social Sciences at UB illustrate this commitment rather vividly. Several faculty in social psychoiOI)', for example, are conductio& research on the nature of self-uteem, including not only the social correlates of this concept, but also the biological and cognit1ve dimensions that underlie it. In the course of such investigations, they have identified what may be basic human needs and tendencies to associate positively with larger groups, even when those groups provide no tangible or status benefits. In Anthropology. several fac ult y arc focusing their effons on archaeological research which provides clues to earlier cultures a nd civilizati ons. A substantial amo unt of their activi ty is located outside the United States: which mean5 that their work is by so me definiti ons remote and t heir results necessarily part of a knowledge whic h ex tends through decades of time and across universi ty and resea rch centers in various pans of the world. Such work is, nonetheless, vital to a comprehensive a nd basic liberal arts. The Marian B. White Research Museum has been deve loped to provide a n invaluable a nthropological collection for both students and faculty, and serves to link University research to th e interc~ted co mmunit y as well. Our Faculty also includes an impressive concentrat ion of historians whose work em braces much of the scope of American and European ri-,tijjJation. The prominence of this fo~s seen in the highly visible range of visiting schol ars and speakers who co me to the Depanment to share their research with faculty and stude nts across several faculties each year. Interest in the history of ideas, of sociaJ move ments. of war and political change has re mained vi brant throughout bad as well as good times at SUNY . Despite the vagaries of student preferences and eco nomic placement , the inteUect uaJ marketplace is amazingly resilient. This attests, I am sure, to the durability of a fundamental human q uest for knowledge that underlies all.of our disciplines. The cu rrent University effort to develop a comprehensive undergraduate core curriculum reflects the centrality of social sciences in a basic libe ral a n s education. World C ivilization , the gateway class through which all UB undergraduates may eve ntuall y pass, is taught by social scientists from Anthropology, H istory, and Philosophy whose training and interest span seve ral dimensio ns of this omni bus course. American Pluralism. a course • proposed to examine equality and d iversity in the American society, will clearly draw heavily on the expertise of fac ult y in Sociology, H istory, Political Science. We seek to establish such courses because they are integral to the liberal arts and to the goal of insuring a well-educated citizenry. Such grad ua tes will be ready to pu rsue advanced training which is se nsitive to th e array of human concerns and experie nces that are likely to accom pany the more specialized events and changes they encounter within their chosen field s of st ud y. Social Science as Extension and Integration of Basic Knowledge One of the most exciting dimensions of the social science enterprise deri ves from its intellectual proximity to both the natural sciences, humanities, and professions. That position invites crossdisciplinary sharing that iJ virtually unlimited m its potential for expansionist thinking and, ultimately, integrated knowledge. During the last six years, we have made a conscious effort to develop centers of. excellence, housed in FSS but extending to neighboring disciplines in other faculties and schools. In such centers we seek to combine the best of at least two worlds, in R lating research fundamental to the social scie nces to basic work in other fields. In many. our intent is positive invo lvement in a third world - the real world of a pplied knowledge - as we ll. A brief description of a selected number of our research centers and initiatives should illustrate not on ly t he inherent and interdisciplinary nalUrc of their work. but also the o pportunities they provide for utilizat ion in the sociopolitical enviro nment. Cognitive Science It is not surprisi ng that th is University h-as made a major commitment to the stud y of cognitive a,pd linguistic sciences; this field has been widely recognized as prese nt ing o ne of the most promising challe nges of the age to in terdisciplinary research. The term itself began being used in the mid· l970s to refer to a new approach group. "they offer an imp ressive potential for linking their d istinct ive specialties to the broader understand ing of the cogni tive process. Their num ber also includ es sc holars whose emphasis on problem-solving demands deve lopment of technologies with human-like capabilities. Consequently. they frequently are centrally involved with th e scient ists and enginee rs who act ually build the machinery appropriate for simulations, or perC!'ption analysis, or speech diagnosis a nd therapy. The work central to social sciences is thus trul y integrative as well as significant to the human envi ronment . Geographic Information and Analysis Geographers a t U B were amo ng the first to develop an academic program in Geogra phic Information Systems. "Ttre soCial sciences have attracted students because their concerns are at the core of human abilities and b~havior." · - ROSS MacKINNON to the old philoso phical problem of epistemology: where does knowledge come from. how is il S'lructured and applied, and und er what limilations docs it ope rate'! The a pproach came from sim ultaneous and largely independent movements in a number of innovative disci pUnes: st ud ies of internal processes involved in pe rception and memory in cognitive psyc holo~; sim ulat ions of tho u~ht processes on artificial intelligence work in com puter science; research on language processing and categorizati on in linguistics. In fact, the work involved in these disciplines bas been so interrelated that a number of universities have created departments or programs in COgnitive Science. The highly active UB Graduate Group in Cognitive Science bas extended its own boundaries to include the relevant work o( geograpbers who stud y human spatial behavior and spatial language, political scientiJis and co mmunication specialists who analyze decision-making processes, and speech scientists who examine the nexus between thought and speech. As a This program co mbines the subject matter of geography "with the methodology of computer science. the technology of engineering, and the social and policy concerns of public healtb, transportation, and other areas of service delivery. By developing systems that allow for the management and analysis of large, spatially oriented data, faculty in tbiJ area have opened up countless opportunities for the study of problems where human needs and spatially defined resoun:es intersect. In August of 1988, the National Science Foundation announced the decision to ·fund the esaabliabmc1lt of a -N ationa! Centes" for GeosraJ1bic lofonutioo IIDd ~ to a tlueeunivmicy consortium including the Univenity of Califomja at Santa Barbara, SUNY at Buffalo, IIDd the U nivenity of Maine. This is the fust NSF center in the Social and Economic Sciences Division, and we are excited at the prospect of worlrill8 with . nationally prominent aebolan to develop lhil' field of inquiry. · At this po.i nt, we have already • arranged for specialist meetings on �February 16, 1989 Volume 20, No. 18 spatial language, mult iple spatial representations, accuracy in spatial data, a nd the economic val ue of spatiaJ information. These and other conferences and research initiati ves will include computer scientists, psyc hologists, linguists, eco no mists, engineers, and anthropologists as well as geographers. Research on Children and Youth Cognitive Science and Geographic Info rmatio n and Analysis present challenges in pan because they arc well posi tio ned to utilize new deve lopments in science and technology to advance the study of traditional a nd basic social science concerns. The Organized Research Ce nter on Children and Youth. on the other hand , was established in recognit io n of the fact -..., that the work o rdinaril y carried on S"t: paratc:l y in relatively traditional discipli9es (Psyc holog y, Sociology, law. Sbcial Work. Medicine) would benefit from a sharing of projects, approaches, and results. Through the ORC a variety of projects are being undertaken that bring toget her the complementary perspectives of different areas of stud y. Faculty interested in Sociology and Law are invo lved in the..c:xamin ation of yo uthful offenders and how they view the judicial system and its rehabilltative facil it ies . Several scholars associated with the Ce nter are also interested in the o the r side of the process, with the psychological effects experienced by children who provide testimony in co un procecdmgs. · S till ot her work is exami ning how chi ldren with special educatio na l need s are bei ng treated und e r a state la w designed to guarantee an education a ppro pria te to their abilities. In e ach such project , a special aspect of child development or behavior is investiga ted fro m a number of perspectives in and outs ide of the social scte nces. It is both appropriate and challenging for the Universit y to encourage the development of this type of research, for its in trinsic importance substantively, its inclusion of the expertise of seve ral disci plines. and its significance to real-world problem solving. Canadian-U.S. Trade Following the success of the joint trade program in Geography and Management, the University established a Ce nter for Ca nad a-U .S. Trade in the spring of 1988. Once again, the impetus for an organil!cd. interdisciplinary, applied Center was the fundamen tal and long-standing interest a nd work of facult y whose interests have spanned the dynamics of Political Science. Economics. Management, Geography. Sociology, a nd Law. The natura l co nvergence of their basic research led them to develop a Graduate Group with visiting speakers and collabo rative projects_which . in . turn. inspired the Umverstty to co mmn resou rces for a Center with well established co nnections, a prove n research record , a nd a hi sto ry of att racting qualit y stude nts . With in such a framework , the faculty is well positioned to explore the multiple dimensio ns of binational trade within the context of the recently ratified Canada-U .S. Free Trade Agreement. Students of Geography and Management a re examining the impact of tra de changes on commerci~l concentrations and transportation networks, just as political scientists and lawyers stud y the costs ofJrcc trade ratification. Clearly, all levels of government as well as ind ustry arc better served when the comprehensive framework supplied by such cxpens is avai lable for them m making key shon- and l~ng-ter~ decisions. Although the unmedtatc Letters applications involved in th is a rea of st ud y are very evident , it should be remembered that they are ground ed in the basic a nd integra ted research missions a cross un its in soc ial scie nces as well as other schools and faculties in the Unive rsity . Fulfilling Academic and University _ Missions: Research , Teaching, and Service in Social Sciences As a core tradition in liberal arts, the soci al sciences benefit most fundame ntally from their attraction as intrinsically stimul ating subjects of inquiry; they draw bright and demanding st udents into their realm of knowledge a nd discovery in ways limited only by human imagination. At the sail!~ time, their proximity to many of the g reat iss ues o ur time and others' means th at this drawing power q.tLSXpand greatly in times of inten se sOtHil concern. Although we cann ot help but welcome increased in te rest a nd or demand for the guidance of our d isc iplines. we also recognize the strains which such increases place on our ability to respond effectively within the constrai nts of University resource s. I am al lud ing to, at least in pan, the ex ponential growth of knowledge: each year adds more to what we know, a nd to what our s tudents should know , so we expand. in tegrate, and appl y the fruits of our own researc h. It is no surprise that the current effort to restructure the undergr adua te c urriculum is producing a ..co re"' which is substantially large r. ric her. and m ore co mplex than that which we ou rselves experienced as students. Perhaps m o re important. however, is the corollary which accompanies that rather si mple fact. A s teachers and researchers. our responsi bility to o ur disciplines, to o ur students, to the intellectual growt h of the University itself, and to its social environment, is e normous. We cann ot and do not shrink from the challenge. But we must face it with a realism th at sees that noble attempts to undertake too many of the tasks included in these responsibilities are ultimately a disscrviceJo all those who expect high performance on lmy one. That realization suggests that we co nstantly evaluate our ability to deliver o n all the promises and challe nges inherent in the Universi t y's mandate to educate , undenake research . and provide service. S ocial Sc iences has experienced dramatic increases in each of these realms over the past five years: undergradu a te enrollments arc up by 17 per cent ; graduate enrollments by 30 per cent; spo nso red research has a lm ost trebled in this period . A t the sa me time, o u r majors want and d eserve mo re o pportunities for research a nd writi ng: o ur graduates need additional ex pos ure to new and inte rdisci plin ary a pproaches: and the community wants to share in the knowledge reso urce as well as the economic benefits of housing a major research uni versity. In this maze of increased expectations is an implicit assumption that uni versities. or at least very good un iversities, grow. They do so because they arc good; their success breeds demand for their products and their environments. That we at th is juncture are actually victims of our own excellent performance needs to be see n as a healthy circumstance which is not only welcomed but needed by those: who take pride in the University which has carved such a path. CD Statistics redux: Facts and opinion EDITOR: Admmistrators who do not learn from the past are condemned not only to repeat thelf m1stakes but to make worse ones The Facts I. Subsequent to the brouh aha about the Depanment of Statistics two years ago. a committee appointed by the provost and chaired by David Triggle. dean of the School of Pharmacy, recommended (in April 1988) that: • the then two empty lines in Stat istics should be filled by a chair who wou ld be jointly appointed in FNSM and the Health Sciences and by anot her appoin tee who might be joint between Statistics and some ot her department ; • a biostatistics un it should be establis hed in the Health· Scie nces which would also be chaired by the chai r of th e Department of Statistics: • two or three biosta tistics faculty shou ld be appointed in the Health Sciences wh o wo uld also have a ppointments in the: Department of Statistics. The Triggle Committe! considered but did not recommend a change of administrative ven ue for the Department of Statistics. 2. On 6 February 1989 the Dean of FNSM conve ned a meeting of FNSM chairs, directors of graduate and und ergrad uate studies and faculty senators to discus.s .. a proposal to transfer the Department of Statistics to the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ... This was the first time any of the auendces ot her than the Sta lis tics facult y had heard of th is proposa l. 3. The proposal wa5 to transfer all facult y and all resources of the Department of Sta tistics to the Department of Social and "The result of a shift to Medicine would be the disappearance eventually of a traditional statistics unit. " Preventive Medicine in the School of Medicine where it would be a division. This would entail a move to Main Stree t from where it would . admitted the dea n. be very difficult for the department to continue its undergraduate program . It was stated by the dean that th is proposal was generally acceptable to the Department of Statistics. Howe\'er, when the three (of five) members of the de partmen t present were asked their opinion. none supported it and at least one was strongly opposed . 4. It was stated by one= of the members of the Department of Statt sttcs (a nd denied by neither the dean nor the two associate deans prese nt) that a "re presentative of the: provost .. had told them that. if they acceded to t his move , the Ph. D. program in Sta tistics wo uld remain int act bu t that otherwise it would probably be deactivated. 5. When asked abo ut the proposal of the Triggle Commi ttc:c , the dean replied that an agrttment between the deans of FNSM and the School of Medicine was not possible. Wh y? Because the chool of Medicine would not provide the resources to build the biostatistics program as recommended by the Trigglc Com mincc. The dean also stated that, while there was no possibility in the foreseeable future for additional resources for Statistics from within FNSM. there would be a possi bility of growth if the move were made to the School of Medicine. 6. No one at the meeting on 6 February (10 . I2 people not counting Statistics facu lly and dean's office rcpraentatives) supported the dean 's proposal and about half a doze n spoke ou t, so me slrongly, against it. The meeting ended with the dean sayi ng he would have to go .. back to t he drawing board ... 7. On 17 J an ua ry 1989 the associate provost in a letter to the deans of the School of Medicine and FNSM not only out lined the proposal to tra nsfer the Department of Statistics to the School of Medicine with all its resources (effective I June 1989!) but also offered the School of Medicine: • another l / 2 line: • funds to su pport the hiring of new 12month faculty .. as attrition occun. among the five initial faculty members"': • .. additional OTPS" funds. Opinion I. The move to the School of Medicine would be tantamount to professio na l suicide for almost all if not all five fac ulty of the Departmen t of Statistics. All arc esse nt ially theoretical statisticians and only one has a significant interest in biostatistics. The Ph. D. program might be maintained but no good st ud en t interested in any part of slatistics other t ha n biostatistics could be recruhed from outside the Buffalo area. And even potential biostatistics students wou ld probabl y look askance at a program housed in a department of social and Preventive medicine. 2. It must be unprecedented for a dean to give away sill and one-half lines and all the ancillary rcsourCC'S that go with them in a time of general shortage of resources. (Of the two lines which were empty a year ago , one and one-half have been ftlled by temporary facuhy and the other one-half has. for the present, at least, disappeared.) Perhaps chis is bccau.se, as w us n:porlcd 10 me recently. the dean hns said he i.s .. no longer interested in stat istics.- But it is h1s job to be interested in Statistacs. And it is ha !> JOb to preserve, not squand er, faculty resources. There is no chance whatever that the faculty of FNSM would approve such a giveaway and , if the dean had taken the trouble to consult his uecutive committee or divisional co mmittee before t: ntcring into such negotiations. he would have found th is out. 3. The stc ggestion th at additional resources for Statistics might be fonhcomi ng from the Sc hool of Medicine is belied by the evide nce at hand . or course. once the seven lines (three or four vacant or likely soo n to be vacant) have been transferred, the School of Medicine. laughing all the way to the ba nk , will have no incent ive to provide additional resources . I don't doubt that the School of Medicine since rely desires to enhance its biostatistics capability and th at it would hire some biostatisticians into the empty lines. The result. however. would surely be the disappearance before many years of a traditional stat istics capabitity. This result wo uld , I guess. be uniq ue or almost so among all the members of the Association of American Universities. 4. Pretty tame stuff so far. Worth an article in the R~po rl tr - maybe - but hardly enough for anyone - outside of FNSM anyway - to get ellci ted about. But wait , it gets better. During the past t wo years the Department of Statistics has been subjected tc:. planned ad ministrative harassments of vario us kinds including the foisting on it of a n acting chair not of the faculty's choice and a refusal to lei the department fell open lines (which, it now appears , could be filled if only the move to the School of Medicine were made). The purpose of these ha rassments has been to sap the strength and wil l of the depanment so that it would not be able to resist the proposed final solution. Not surprising then that the dean was able to say at the 6 February meeting that the proposed move was generally acceptable to the faculty of the depanment. Better perhaps the devil you don' know to the one you do. But all of the five facult y believe that other things (like deans) being equal, the place of the Dcpartmen<-of Statistics should be in FNSM. The harassment of tbc depanmcnt • See Flnt Column, ..... - �February 16, 1989 Volume 20, No. 18 Letters would be beneath the dignity of an ad ministration wit h any sense of decency.

While psychological denial is a universal and generally unconsciously operative human defense mechanism, historians have not previously considered it when examining reactions to the Holocaust by its victims or those who could have aided them. Research by historjan William Sheridan Allen, Ph.D., and psychologist Norman Solkoff, Ph.D., suggests that although the Jews had, throughout history, been targets of prejudice and even selective murder, they generally failed to .accept genocide as a possibility under the Nazi regime. Findings of the two Holocaust researchers, who also teach a course on Nazi Germany, were presented last summer at the International Scholars Conference on the Holocaust in Oxford, England. Their research was conducted to explore the reasons why Jews in Europe fai.led to recognize and initially respond to the genocide plaqned by the Naz.is. "In retrospect/' said Allen and Solkoff, "it's easy to question why the Jews did not see what was coming in time to either escape, protest, or fight back." But at the beginning of Naz.l rule in Germany in the 1930s, the Jews found it unthinkable - and impractical - that they would be targeted for mass extermination, the researchen noted. · M were cynically lulled into denial by the Nazis' use of terms such as "resettleany Jews, as well as non-Jews, ment," which were in fact code words for extermination, they further observed. "Their varying degrees of denial of genocide as a possibility were based largely on the logic, reason, and experience which people typically use to evaluate new situations in their lives ," Solkoff pointed out. But their denial, he added, also was based on information that was incomplete and deliberately fed to them by the Naz.is via the Nazicontrolled media. "In shon," said Solkoff, "the Jews were taking something totally craz.y the concept of genocide - and trying to make sense of it , usi ng rational methods." '!'be Nazis were said to have fed the Jews' denial by cleverly and gradually increasing threats and restrictions on them rather than doing it all at once. This technique, referred to as "salami slicing," is designed to disarm potentiaJ victims into believing each threat may be the last. Using reason , logic, and experience, the Jews concluded that a Germany whose economy was in the process of being revitalized from the shambles following World War I would need them for labor. Therefore, genocide would be against the economic interests ·of the nation. Indeed, in retrospect, it appears that the Nazi regime's preoccupation with murdering the Jews may have sabotaged Germany's war eiTons, according to tbe researehen. be Jews, who bad endured torment, restrictions, and other penalues imposed upon them over the centuries by others, also tbeorized, since they were already convenient scapegoats, that their presence servid a continuing purpose for the Nazis. Allen and Solkoff found. And, depending upon their degree of assimilation, many Jews were said to T have reasoned they wquld not be killed simply because they contributed to the life and society of the countries in which they lived. This was seen as especially true of German Jews. For example, Jews who served with distinction in World War I especially believed their previous demonstration of patrioti sm would save them . the researchers reported. "After 1941 , when German borders were sea.led and escape from other European nations under the Nazi regime became impossible, the Jews used "!'Other form of psychoJogical denial of their fate in order to save their sanity in the face of the inevitable," said Allen and Solkoff. Some, they related, convinced themselves that growing rumors of death cam ps and gas chambers, spoken of in whispers, were exaggerated. After aU, had not the German soldiers been falsely accused auring World War I in Allied propaga nd a of massacring Belgian babies? Jews reasoned , the researchers noted, that a nation at war would not waste valuable resources of men and material on transporting Jews tO death camps. Therefore, the Naz.is' deceptive explanations of loading Jews into cattle cars to travel to .. resettlement" areas for labor purposes appeared believable. r \ rior to 1942, Allen and Solkoff funher disclosed, Jews who had been crammed into ftlthy cattle cars for wholesale slaughter were instructed upon arrival at some camps to write postcanls to relatives telling of the pleasant but simple con<litions tbey found there. The postcard writers were then killed and their cards later mailed to maintain the illusion they were alive in the labor camps, the researchers related. This obvious tactic to reinforce denial among Jews was said to have extended to the death camps wher;e victims entered under banners proclaiming "A rbeit macht Frei"or "Work makes (you) free," to suggest they had arrived at labor camps the Naz.is had promised . . Many of the Jews already knew their fate when they were directed to "shower" after their journey on the cattle cars in baths which released the deadly gas Zyklon 8 to make the extermination process more ••efficient," acco rd ing to the research findings. Although it could be argued that the Nazis' intention to commit genocide, or the "final solution," was not formalized until the Wannsee Conference in 1942, there is other evidence to suggest mass extermination of tbe J~ws had long been a logical goal of the Nazi hierarchy, Allen and Solkoff pointed out. If Jews den ied the possibility of genocide, they also pointed out, so did politicians in many nations who failed to perceive the gravity of the situation and failed to assist, using their nations' economic self-interest as the reason. Certainly some Jews, especially those who were younger. successfull y Oed while there was time. P B. ut many Jews who were wenestablished besitated to leave tbe lives they had built over time; others, too old or too poor, stayed because they hict nowhere to go and .oo way of paying tbe Nazis wbat amounted to ransom to per· mit them to leave, according to the • researchers. "Genocide," eJ<plained Allen, "is a very specific term which means systematic extermination of a racial or cultural group." The only other known instance of undisputed genocide of a sjngle Cthruc or racial group w~ the Turks' massacre of tbe Armenians during World War 1. G �FebNery 16, 1989 Volume 20, No. 18 _ Lithography Adele Henderson urges students in her workshop to develop & translate passions < Examples of student work from Henderson's Lithography Workshop: by Brian Hoover (at far left). Don CharleswMh (near left). and Lynene Hanuster (below). By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporter SlaH n a painting by Adele Henderson , a house tilts precariously on long spindly legs, lurching toward some ~esti!"lation of~ the canvas. Candles glow within its open ' mtenor, burnmg steadfastly despite the motion of the house. I Henderson. an assistant professor of an a! UB who teaches lithography, called this work " Walking House Burning." While the image is su rre al, Hender· son was hesitant to describe herself as a surrealist pairuer. "When I think of surrealism I think of work that uses stream of consciousness techniques. work where associated objects just kind of fall together," said Henderson ... But my work is very carefully composed. It's not arbitrary." It is. however, Henderson admits, "highly personal. " The visual metaphors in each work are carefully chosen "to symbolize forces at work in my mind and life, .. while the piece in its entirety "says something complex about my experience." It is, for this reason, perhaps, that Henderson is "drawn to other work that is personal. work where someone is saying something a bout his or her own life." Henderson said she tries to foster this sort of individual expression in the classroom: "I'm interested in seeing that every individual develops his or her own passion and then transla tes that passion into lithography." Howeve r, keeping that passion alive long enough to translate it into a lithographic print may be difficult. Henderson acknowledges. Lithography is a multi-step process that involves drawing on the surface of a piece of limestone with greasy materials that will attract ink from a roller. resulting ultimately in a print. The process becomes more or less involved depending on how man y colors the artist wishes to use. To get her students engaged with the an early on, Henderson said she " tries to introduce them to processes in lithography that are spontaneous. It seems Hke stude'nts today are a lways in a hurry and want immediate results. And that's one thing that lithography and printmaking in general is not known for." 0 ne of these more spontaneous processes is monotype. Monotype involves painting ink on a. non-porous surface that is then used to make a single print. "lt"s similar to the finger paintin you did when you were a kid, only the tools. are a bit more so ph isticated . It's not ve ry tl!chnical and no printn)aking experience is needed ... Hende rson explained. In addition to exposing US students to different lithographic techniques, Henderso n has helped to provioe a bcuer environment for that exposure. When she came to UB a yea r and a half ago from Arizona. the print workshop at Bethune was in a nearly unusa ble condition. She is largely responsi ble for renova tio ns, such as a new ventilation system, that have made it into a habitable working environment. The restoration of the print workshop was timely since, according to Hend erson, the an of lithography "has enjoyed a tremendous revival in recent years. A lot of big name anists in New York a re making prints these days." What auracts them to lithog~aphy , Henderson said, "is the look you get, the quality of the ink on the paper. Offset lithography, which is what you see in art store prints and in magazines and news- · papers, doesn't give you the same look." • See LJI!>ognlphr. page 13 �February 16, 1989 Volume 20, No. 18 Hindu Swami joins Campus Ministry "I By JEFFREY TREBB RepoMr Staff definitely hope to see more ·Eastern' religions represented on campus:· says Swami Li ngaye Pasupati. the newes t member of the UB Ca mpus Ministry. " I will. in fact. active ly campaign for them if the opportu nity arises." An ad he rent of the Pasupata sc hool of S•uvite Hinduism and a doctor of the· ology, Pasupati has served as a Sanny asi. or re nunciant monk , in Western New York si nce 1979. He officially joined the Ca mpus Ministry last September only after having been told by a U B studen t that the re were no Hindu clergy affi liated with the Universi ty. S urprised by this. Pasupati soo n discove red that Hindu campus ministers are qui te rare throughout the nation . One of o nl y five such monks in the country, Pasupati began to run hi s campus o ut· reach program so lei on don ati o ns. He now receives financial and organizational support fro m a Hindu mission in Hawaii. P as upat i is in esse nce a wo rldl y ascetic. Des pite strict vo ws of renunciation ("I can own literally and legally nothing·). obedience r·my first allegiance is to my conscience, eve n at the risk of breaking civil law"), and absolute celibacy , Pasupati professes an active interest in the larger world and in ca mpu s affairs in particular. Pasupati says that all of hi s activi ties at UB can be narrowed to a pair of ideals: .. I'm here to serve the need s of my co mmunit y and to serve as a ce nter of inform atio n.·· Claiming that co un seling is the most vital role in campus ministry. Pasupati adds: " l ·m available 24 hours a day regardless of religi o us affiliation." He a lso hold s Puja, the Hindu ce remo ny, weekly on campu s a nd in hi s home temple daily. In a culmination of ritu al late last semester. as Jews celebrated Hanukkah and Christians Christmas. campus Hindu s joined with Pasupati to celebrate Pancha Ganapati, a modern Hindu festival that evolved in response to the J udco-Christian celebrations. In addition to his religious duties, Pasupati involves himself with animal rights and environmental causes. (Pasupati means in Sanskrit "lord of the beasts.") He has seve ral "ecological irons in the fire ." among them a planned "day of purification " co-sponsored with student groups who share his concern. He e~plains that the Ganga Ma. or the Ga nges River. is regularly invoked in Hindu rite as a personification of the female Shakti•s cleansing power. A cup is first laid upon the a ltar. Then, with one hand lifted toward the heavens and the other pointed at the cup, Pasupati asks that all the world·s waters be symbolically present within it. In a similar ceremony later thi s year, Pasupati hopes to bring a vial of water from the actual Gan~to Weste rn New York. He notes: ·· 111 ~clean and pure place up in the (Himalayan) mountai ns · whe re the ·river· is only a trickle . .. The vial will then be emptied into the Niagara River. in hope that its " physical and spiritual purit y will get the point ac ross that we a re doing what we can to alert peo ple of th e perils facing all waters or th e earth ... g ~ i P a su pati 's as p irati ons include increasing membership of the Ca mpus Ministry to include more .. Eastern " reljgio ns. Already about 100 Hindus have taken part in activities since September, he says. Still, every week Pasupati meets Hindus who were previously unaware of hi s presence. Pasupati add s that. although he docsn' proselytize, Taoists a nd Buddhists often attend his ceremonies. lacking representatives of their own re ligions. ~ Swam1 Lingaye Pasupati: He hopes mOte Eastem religions w1!1 be tep tesent ed here He is also working to secure constructi on of a multi-faith religious ce nter on campus that would house small chapels in addition to offices. As a reflection of his inter-faith role, Pasupati the Hindu Swami will soon lead the largely Christian Campus Ministry in a retreat at Hillel House in early March. Pasupati echoes the maxim that no one can know his own religion until he underst a nd s other faiths as well. Pasupati is enthusiastic about a rare film on the Ramay ana epic he reeently acquired and plans to sc reen on campus. The devout. the curious, IWld those in want of counsel are invited to contact him at 833-2507. 4D Creeley named the official poet of New York State T he New York State Writ ers Institut e has announced the sclcctio'l of Robert Crcclcy to rece1ve the New York State Walt Whitm a n Citation of M~rit for poets.

The printmakcr serves as an interpreter, translating what the artist wants done into print." enderson. who has had c~pericncc herself collaborating with other artists to produce lithographic prints. said "this is a very fascinating thing to do. You meet a lot of different artists and have the opportunity to gain insight into how they think. Working t his intimately is frustrating "but also gratifying." H Her most" recent major solo exhibition was at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona. Right now her work can be seen in a group exhibition at the New Visions Gallery in Ithaca. Henderson has also received several awards and grants . tbe most recent of which was a 12-month fcllow.h ip from the Roswell Museum· and Art Center in New Me~ico. ne~t in photography and printmaking that would offer both photolithography and collotype. Henderso n described collotype, which will be taught by Georgiou. as "an o ld photographic process used to get a continuous tone. It is a lost art in the U.S .. although it's done quite a bit in Europe." Henderson. who has moved around a lot si nce receiving her M.F.A. from Arizona State University at Tempe in 1982 and hints that "Walking House Burning" may refer partially to this itinerant existence, plans to stay on in Buffalo .

Stanley Kunitz. the current S tate Poet . sa id of Creclcy: ··New York State is as rich in poets as it is in apples. and they are comparable in qualit y, flavor. and diversi ty.

What's more. he is his own uniqu e and precious variety." E.L. Doctorow is one of th e: most celebrated and co ntroversial noveli sts of the oast three decades. William Kennedy, dirc<:tor _oft he Writers Institute, said Doctorow .. is a won derful and appropriate choice as State Author, for New York State has been central to so much of his fiction - from the metropolis of Manhattan in works like 17rt Book of Danitl and World 's Fair. to suburban Westchester in Ragtimt. and the Ad irondacks in Loon Lakt.

In fact. he says that as a you th . hi s goal wasn't so much to gain commercial sue· cess as to get a message across to peo ple. " Black theatre was really happen ing. there were a lot of things goi ng on after Malcolm (X) had come; there was Leroy Jones: Amiri Baralca was writing stuff. It wasn't a matter of ·r want to be in movies' or any of that. It was a matter of doing plays for the black community: raisi ng consciousness and instillin g a sense of heritage. At that time. that 's what acting was. That's what theatre was '' lays that are about the capacity to be human; how much we can take, and how much we won't take. How much people mean to people." These are Stephen Henderson's criteria for a good play. - to me." H cndcr~on will appear in the upcomproductio n of " West Memphi s Mojo·· at the: Stud 1o Aren a Theatre.

"It's about the legacy that blues music and rh ythm and blues music gave to rock and roll , and some of the less-tha nhon o rable ways that songs made it int o the hand s of guys like Elvis."" says Hende rson , " as well as the musicia ns who made this co ntributi o n but really got no compensation ... Hend erson is a 39-ycar-old associate professor in the Theatre and Dance Drpartmcnt. He has been at UB fo r two years. I n preparing for the play. Henderso n has been delving into the 1950s: listening to legendary blues singers like Muddy Waters, and reading works by James Baldwin and Langston Hughes. To gel more of a feel for the era, he's a lso been doing a lot of reminis-cing about his youth spent in the era when rock and roll was still quite young. Henderson got an early start as a performer. He was raised in Kansas City, Kansas. by a woman who was a former va udevi lle dancer, who taught him numbers from the old black vaudeville circuit. Henderso n took the routines te talent shows. where, he says. the novelty of a lill ie boy si nging and doing old jokes made him a hit. "Bull wasn' a song-and-<lancc man. " Henderson clarifies, laughing ... The older you gel, the less people tolerate incompetence." By high school, Henderson had discove red drama and landed parts in the school productions of" A Raisin in the Sun" and "Death ·of a Salesman," in which he played Willy Loman. Henderson's high school was all-black, due to segregation. But that had the benefit of giving him the chance to play traditionally while roles like Loman. "· H is experience on stage led to more acting at Lincoln University in Missouri, and then lo a successful audition for the newly-fo rmed Juilliard School of Arts" After two years there, he dropped out to become involved in the emergent black consciousness movement. Even tually, he earned a B.F.A. from the North Carolina School of the Arts and an M.A. from Purdue University. co. From there. Henderson joined an acting company in St. Louis, where he met David F rank, now director ofthe Studio Arena Theatre. Five years later, Henderso n found himself at the Dublin Theatre Festival playing a pari in Atlu>l Fugard's "The Island,"' and getting rave: reviews. Recently , he appeared in the PBS production of" A Raisin in the Sun." which starred Danny Glover. H enderson says he is honored that the late John Houseman saw fat to mention him in hi s 1983 book . Final Dress. Houseman founded the drama wing of the Juilliard's School of the Ans. and Henderson exp lains the y met through the school. Though they didn"t see each other frequently in later- years. the two shared a special bond despit e their sometimes stormy relationship . "We had so me good arguments.'' says Henderson, smiling nostalgically . "Some good limes." One of his most exciting moments. Henderson continues, came when he appeared in the film "Marie, A True Story." He was in just one scene. but in that scene, he appeared with the two actors he respects the most - Morgan Freeman and Sissy Spacek. "I was so happy,"he beams. "You can' believe it." While Henderson admires these wellk.nown actors, he is quick to point out that some of the best acting takes place in regional theatre. "Most likely the best performance is tlu: one that most people How has black theatre evolved si nce Henderson began acting? .. Black thea tre is in wonderful shape." he says" Black playwrights, he continues. are writing an abundance of material. Of all the elements in black theatre, he says. th a t is the most important. .. Black theatre is in the r,ra of the playwright now. which is the best place for it to be . h means there 's going to be longevity."' There's work yet to be done. however , says Henderso n. For example, he says. " il"s still nol easy to have a (black play other than a musical) produced o n Broadway." enderson says he's encouraged with the success of blacks on televisi on and in movies. The success of Bill Cosby and Eddie Murphy, he says. "does help to some de&ree to get audiences cross· culturally motivated. " It's also reaching wider audiences, says Henderson. "t think' we 're nnding OUl that it's important for all America to know the country's identity full y. and limited way. "But I think it would be misleading lo say lhal, 'Oh, everything is great in black theatre.'" Besides a shortage of financial resources , Henderson states. "there still the need to have more artistic control over our own plays." When "West Memphis Mojo" opens on Feb. 24, theatergoers will have a chance to see Hepderson acting from what he calls the character's "center!' He explains: "I'm constantly working to be in the world of the play, instead of just on a stage in a theatre." Hence, the immersion in 1950s black culture. Of his role in "Mojo," Henderson relates: "What I'm trying to reveal abou t the character is h_is parental instinct that he cares about Elroy (the shoesh inc boy). There's friendship among these characters. even when they argue." H Stephen Henderson's philosophy of theatre is that it exists to make not in a a contribution to people. This is philosophy, he said, grows out of black theatre and his ·own desire to raise black consciousness. In fact, H as a youth, his goal wasn't so much to gain commercial success as to an4 g~t a message across.... enderson notes that there is profanity in the play, which he fears some could · find offensive . But it's nothin g more than a dialect, he stresses. " If you can get across the humanity of this person, that transcends the profanity. The profanity is just language. ~ At this point in his career, is theatre what Henderson expected it would be? "It's been better than I expected. The association with other artists, the friend· ships relationships arc precious." Henderson has found the rewards of theatre to be much m~han a paycheck and popularity. *There arc so many other ways you get paid." $ �...... ::,:t·:':.:.:l -erg. u.s.

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

"from my perspective, this is the most wonderful thing to happen in my seven years as president of the University at Buffalo. " "Generally speaki ng, " he said, "the ins titution s in the AAU arc research universities; in particular, the leading research universities are members. The performance of an institution as a research un iversity is the primary criter~ ion upon which the invitations to join are based . " I've believed for a long time that this is a g reat research university destined to become one of the best public research universities in th e country, and it's nice to have a little bit of confirmation by th e • ·~ • • .. , ~·.· ~i-..G!::. 1 most prestigious and the most exclusive association of universities in the United States &nd probably in the world."" • ample said thai members arc elected to the AAU "at a very slow pace. typically one or two every three years. and somelimes none for quite a period of time.

" In 1989, two un iversi ties have been asked to join, Rut gers University in New Jersey and the University at Buffalo he re in New York State. If I'm not mistaken . this is the first time in many decades that only. public universities were asked to join; there were no private institutions asked 10 join. So that's an important break with the AAU's owo traditions:· Sample explained that the AA U was initially weighted coward private institutions.

Sample said th e AAU loo ks at a number of factors in making its selection . These include the number of Ph .D .s gran ted each year , the amount of spo nsored research conducted annuall y, and the number of faculty who receive such award s as Guggenheim Fellowships. or who are members of the Nationaf Aca demies. Other factors include the judgment of UB in the 1980 Research Doctoral Assess ment Project . and library holdings. ··A final clement has co do wi th jud g- men!. The AAU is really an organizauon of the presidents bf tbe member un iversities, and so it is the presidents of th e current member institutions who make the: decision as to what universities should be ad milled. "I believe that beyond all of thc.c quantifiable data .. . there's a strong ekmenl of judgment: which unive rsitie>. seem 'to have emerged as leading cand l· ~­ dates . . .a mong all the acad em1 c institutions."

' al SUNY Provost calls for testing of student progress By JEFFREY TREBB Reponer Statl ~ mathematics, co~municat io n sk ills. eginning in the fall of 1990. SUNY st ud en ts will be tested first as fres hmen and again before graduation in an evaluation of their intellectual progress , SUNY Provost Joseph C. Burke told a gathering of SUNY Tru s tee s last Wednesd ay. Thi s assessment program would implicitly test teaching and administrati ve bodies as well . ··we just don't want to measure how much learning has ta ken place." Burke said . .. You have to take a look at all that information and say 'ho w s hould we change the curric ulum?' .. B academic majors. general ed ucat ion, and socia l growth . Current assessm e nt methods already reflect the diversity of SUNY institu tions, Burke explained. Some are highly sophisticated, whil e · others are just now being implemented. The letter to campos presidents stressed that the assessment programs s hould build on these a nd othe r reso urces already in place, such as data bases and sa mpling techniques. Burke cited admission, retention , and completion rates: surveys of students, alumni, and employers: and accreditation repons for J ust as SUNY's assessment program is being undertaken independent of State control, individual campuses are being encouraged to develop plans "tailored to the particular missions and goals of each SUNY unit and the oeeds of their present and prospective students." Assessment must consider the multiplicity of SUNY institutions, educational outcomes, and forms of academic exceUence, ratber than a "monolithic model mandate from Albany," said Burke. By June I, each SUNY campus must prepare a detailed report showing how it c:um:ntly measures student progress in The additional purpose of assembling current assessment methods is to show "external publics·· that SUN't already employs a variety of assessment activities, said Burke. Wary of hast y conclusion s sometimes drawn from assessment information. Burke promised campus presidents that any ..external use of this material will give special consideration to the complexity of educational outcomes and the limitations of assessment measures."

The guidelines proposed by Burke are rather broad. a ll o wing individual cam puses a s urpri si n g degree of latitude and d iscret io n. The planned assessment program was conceived in December 1987 by the SUNY Committee o n In s titutional Perform a nce . Burk e outlined th e princ iples and guidelines o f the upcoming program in a letter to SUNY presidents last December. The two complementary goals of assessment, Burke said , are to "'improve institutional performance: and ' t o demon strate instituti ona l effectiveness in undergraduat e education ." Burke al so drew a distinction between assessment programs mandated by legisla tion and the ne~ program initiated by SUNY . Because the SUNY program will take place without additional Stale money , Burke said, .. we can do it the way we think is best." Acknowledging the present budget problems for SUNY and the Stale, and the need for "accountability," Burke said that the primary purpose of assessment is to .. offer our stud ents a quality education ihat can help them become the best persons they are capable of being." benefit from each ot her's experience.

"All SUNY campuses do more assessment than they believe," Burke said in an interview with the &porter, "only they have neve r thought of it sys tematically, pulling the pieces together to look at the whole picture. Now it will be organized at department, university, and central levels." The SUNY provost hopes that by coUectiog this information on current assessment, SUNY institutions can Havi ng recourse to interviews, panfolios. and surveys, campuses need no t re ly sole ly on standardized tests.

The onl y firm constraints of the assessment program are annual reports indicating absol ute levels of student performance and relative trends over time. These will be reviewed by SUNY's central administrative staff to jud ge whether the campuses are meeting the academic goals they set for themselves. Still, the design is not one of"grading" ~ampu~ ... The appropriate comparison IS not With other institutions but with the campus' own past performance " Burke ~aid , reemphasizing the ultimat; goal of Improved instit ution al 1lnd st udent performance. "I can give speeches forever " be declared in the interview, .. but we' need faculty and student participation to reach our goals. They are the true eenter of our enterprise."

A sked about s tudent assessm en t. Thorpe explained that there were f<" specifics this early in the process. He d•d sa that placement exams for w'riting and mathematics given to freshmen "probabl) won't be repeated" in the later years ot their education, as· is sometimes done at other SUNY institutions. But Thorpe said he was sll ll considering a "value added" evaluation. Follow-up placement exams and standard· ized tests are both "value added" becau>< they simply measure how nluch a stud ent has learned. This is the theme of the ne" evaluation program. Thorpe suggested another, slightly different, area· of emphasis: "the comparison between students' all-around achievement and the goals the Universit y sets for its graduates." Thorpe warned against undue emphasis on .. accou ntability," which he said of~en tends to .. drive the curriculum.

Thorpe was also apprehensive. about the program's cost. "There are adm1n~tra· tive expenses in terms of money, ume. effort, and student costs in time away from instruction." He added: "There are the costs of developing the progrtUD and costs of instit uting it." Though not sure he could personally justify the assessment program during the current budget difficulties, Thorpe concluded tha~ the program "gives us a good opportumty 10 take a closer look at the Univers•IY and improve it wherever po5sible." $ �February 9, 1989 Volume 20, No. 17 a UB Myles Slatin delivers dissent the numbers of students admitted through this special second door create problems. Athletes Accept no more than I00 of them under lAP, Senate asks By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Staff A Faculty Senate committee has recommended that a maximum of 100 athlctes a year be admitted to UB under the individualized admissions program. Kenneth Kiser, professor of chemical engineering and chainnan of the Faculty Senate Committee on Admissions and Retention (FSCAR). delivered the rcpon to the senate's executive committee last week. But committee member Myles Slatin of English delivered a dissenting repon, in which he said the number of specially admitted students creates problems for the University. L ast May, the Kiser committee was asked to look at the number and distribution of " individualized admits" for athletes. This followed the se nate's acce ptance of FSCAR resolutions that renamed the former Special Talent Admissions Program, and established a more stringent reponing procedure for UB's Ind ividualized Admissions Committee (lAC), among other measures. The repon recommends that individualized admissions continue as a program under the Faculty Senate resolutions of 1974 a nd 1988. It also urges that the number of students admitted under th is program - not exceed more than ten per cent of the total entering freshman class ... Right now, "regularly ad m itted" freshmen arc judged solely on a numeri cal composite of their high sc hool grade point average, high school rank in class. and combined SAT or ACT scores. The co mmittee pointed out that man y univer'sities and colleges thro ughout th e Northeast take into account .. a wide var· iety of factors including participation in student government, athletics, artistic activities and clubs as well as letters of reference and personaJ statements of career goals, all of which are believed to show a leVel of maturity but arc not eas, ily quantified ." The repon maintains that U B "has an obligation to address the admission of students who may contribute in significant fashion to the quality of student life on the campus through participation and leadership in the various student activities ... T aking note of UB's commitment lo upgrade its intercollegiate athletic program to NCAA Divisio n I status, the Kiser committee recommends that a maximum of 100 alhletes be allowed in as special admits. These individuals, assuming they are inadmissible in the regular selection process, must possess an allowable "Tscore." Thin is, they must possess admtssions credentials that fall within "one stand ard deviation below the minimum set for regular admissions." To be admitted on this basis, athl etes musl also have completed a supplemental application. The Division of Athlelics must tell the Office: of Admissions tha\ these individuals are "recruited student alhletes." Assessment of athletic talent will be left• to the coaches and Director of Athletics Nelson Townsend. The 100 spaces will be divided, at Townsend's discretion, into .. appropriate quotas for each of the men's and women's sports." according to the committee recommendation. The Athletics Division will determine a thl etic suitability, but the lAC will con tinue to make the final determination on wh o is admitted this way. States the repon : "The lAC will accept the first 100 students who have completed the application process, have presented credentials at or above th e specified minima. and have been appropriately identified by the Division of Athletics as recruited st udent a thlet es." In add itio n to regular and individualized admissions. students may enter UB through the EOP program, as transfers, and through international admissions. The committee said it ... neither heard nor raised any sig nifi cant concerns for any admissions process (other th;.t.n individualized admissions) ... In a repon last spring, the FSCAR said I hat UB admits between 600 and 700 .. non-regular" applicants a year, and that 100-150 students admitted through individualized admissions are only a small part of the non -regulars. A bout 200 stu· dents a yea r are admitted through EOP. n his dissenting repon , Myles Slatin recommends that not more than 350 students be ad mitted to the freshman class under any ..exceptional process or program." In his view, 100 of these 350 places ought to be reserved for individualized admission (45 of these might be then rese rved for recruited athletes); 200 ought to be reserved for EOP admission . Another 50 places, "nol to include recruited ath letes" would be reserved for admissions to experimental or new programs, or at the d iscretion of the director of admissions. Slatin stated. Students, Slatin added, should not be admitted to UB on the basis of their participation and leadership in various student activities. Rather, he said, they "should be admitted to the University because they have demonstrated the intellectual ability to profit from the . experience. Any profit to lhe Universi ty is incidenlal." I Slatin added that the admission of between 470 and 700 students who d o not satisfy the normal requirements for regular fres hm an admission, creates severe problems for the University. "We do not have the human resources to adequately deal with the problems so large a proportion of the class creates. Those problems are exacerbated beca use admission to the Universit y does not guarantee admission to an academic program . .. It has not been made clear to me how ou r decision to upgrade a thlet ics, which a re not our center, will improve student learning in calculus or medieval history. which are. Much less has it been made clear to me how the admission of students whose non-academic pursuits have kept them from meeting our admissions sta ndards wiiJ benefit them. if they are admitted precisely on condition they con tinue the pursuits which have kept them from meeting our standards...

CD �February 9, 1989 Volume 20, No. 17 n late April, the Arts and Sciences at UB will get the recognition they've been waiting for for 25 years. And here to mark the occasion will be·one of the forerunners of modem science, paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. The 1988-89 academic year marks the 75th anniversary of the College of Art~ and Sciences. Founded in 1913, the College represents the University's first effort at providing a general education for its students, an effort noted with a great deal of fanfare on its 25th and 50th birthdays. Earlier birthdays may not hold a candle to the College's 75th, however. thanks to a special planning committee I Arts & ·Sciences Anniversary· Stephen Jay Gould will speak at convocation and chair of the planning committee. But the focal point of the anniversary will be an ail-day academic convocation o n April 28 in Slee Hall. The convocation will consists of au. address by Stephen Ja y Gou ld in the morning, followed by a reception , and an afternoon panel discussion with selected Arts and Sciences faculty on the changing nature of undergraduate liberal education. The event will be free and open to the entire University community. auld, a professo r at Harvard and recipient of a .. genius grant" from the MacArthur Foundation, is best known for his .. punctuated equilibrium .. theory of evolution. Overturning the long-accepted Darwinian theor y o f evolution as a process of gradu al transformation , Gould and colleague Niles Eldredge proposed in 1972 that eWiJl!tion is actually a series of abrupt fits and starts . ... In one sense Gould is just another enlisted man of science, pushing back by a few inches the frontiers of man's knowledge of snails," wrote Newsweek in a 1982 cover story on Gould, "but he is also a general who has helped transform the entire landscape: of evOlutionary theory." Noting his ability to ..communicate across specialties," Newsweek remarked on the scientist's .. uncanny knack for communicating ideas simply, elegantly, and persuasively." A monthly columnist for Natural History magazine, Gould is also regularly published in Discover. which named him Scientist of the Year in 1981. His essays have been collected in Ever Since Darwin; 7he PandaS Thumb (winner of an American Book Award); Hen 's Teeth and Horus Toes. and The G made up of representatives of faculty, staff, alumni, and the Emeritus Center. In the works are a variety of events including lectures, exhibits, and activities related to the Arts and Sciences disciplines, according to John Thorpe, vice provost for undergraduate education Flamingo :. Smile. "Gould is one of those people who's very broad, cross.-disciplinary," said Thorpe. "We wanted to get someone for the convocation who wouldn't be identified totally with one particular faculty, and Gould has an identification with each of the three Arts and Sciences faculties. He's most widely known as a paleontologist, but if he were teaching in this institution, it's very likely he wo uld be in Anthropology or in one of the social sciences. "He's the kind of broad person we wanted to represent us and a lso he ·s quite the role model of the interdisci plinary schol a r. We arc really excited about th e pros pect of having him come here." Gould's visit is being sponso red by th e Fenton Lecture Series, the deans of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences. and Natura l Sciences and Mathematics, the dean of tloe Undergraduate College, and the 1 President's Office. he Uni9ersity's College of Arts and Sciences as an _organization a l structure was actually dissolved in 196667, when it was divided into the three faculties of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences and Admini s tration , and Nat ural Sciences and Mathematics - a division still in existence. But if the College has not been a College for more than 20 years, then what are we celebrating? "What we're really trying to do is showcase the Arts and Sciences - the scholarship, the creative activities, the alumni, the students of these disciplines," Thorpe said. "We're not celebrating a structure, we're celebrating a concept. "Our many accomplishments in the last 75 years in those three faculties go well beyond liberal education." he added . "We ought to stop and take account of them, to let everyone know about them, and to celebrate them." Although the Arts and Science, College no longer exists as a formal un it . the responsibility for liberal, general education at UB has been shouldered recently by the Undergraduate College. noted Thorpe, who has steered the nc ~ College since he came to UB a year and a half ago. "The fact that the Undergrad uate College is now becoming a visible enuly and a force in general education in thb University at the same time that we're: celebrating 75th anniversary of the fim efforts liberal education is kind of a ANNIVERSAR Y T ARfS &SCIENCES UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO neat coincidence," Thorpe said . Tentatively scheduled is a form al dedication of the Undergraduate College the day before the Arts and Sciences convocation. Also honoring the Arts and Sciences birthday will be special issues of the Reporter, Source, and UB Today. Th iS year's general commencement will also be dedicated to the anniversary. More details of the convocation and other activi ties will be released in coming weeks. • C) Mickey Rats-WIVB controv_ersy aired at meeting By JEFFREY TREBB Reporter StaH A n informal forum concerning Mickey Rats City Bar and the WIVB documentary " Barred at" the Door" was held last Thursday at the University Heights Community Center. The documentary, which aired late last year, alleged that several Buffalo bars. including Mickey Rats, had explicit policies of excluding blacks. Soon after the week-long investigative series was broadcast, members of .the UB Black Student Union organized a meeting in response. Their decision to boycott all of the bars in vo lved was supported by the Int e r - Gree k Co uncil a nd o ther s. Universit y Distri ct Co uncilman Archie L Amos, Jr .. the organizer a nd moderator of the d iscussion, began by saying he was "surpri sed .. to learn of the charges. Because no one affili ated with the organized boycott was present, Amos asked Gene Grasso, part-owner of Mickey Rats, to reply to some of the charges leveled against his bar in the documentary. (According to Amos' office, WlVB was invited to the forum but did not attend.) Grasso claimed the charges had no validi ty and pointed out that ""efourth of those employed by Mickey Rats are minorities. He also quOted Richard Clark of the State Divis ion of Human Rights.

He ret ired from Berkeley in 1968. He received a number of awards and served on four Presidential commissions on public education. Fisk recalls that McConnell had a good sense of humor but was demanding, both of himself and of the people he worked with. During the time he was here, be replaci:d many deans. When Clifford C. Furnas became chancellor after bim, Fisk recalls, there was speculation that many heads would roll. Furnas, however, kept them all, Fisk said - a tribute to McConnell's acumen in administrative matter.;. McConnell also reorganized the faculty, Fisk noted, providing Furnas with a base on which be could move the Univer.;ity forward . McConnell was perhaps least popular among those alumni of the Univer.;ity who were interested in football, Fisk remembered. Yet, tbe chancellor always went to the games even though the Bulls endured losing seasons in his day. Perhaps, joked McConnell, we'd do better just to buy o urselves a professional team . M cConnell discussed his days at UB in an oral history tape made with the University Archives during a visit here in May 1979. His first goal, he said , was ~to put the bouse in financial order," the Univer.;ity being a struggling private institution in those days. . During his tenure, he Sllld, he also tried to lay the foundation for strengthening the intellectual life of t~e instit~­ tion and the faculty.

The lack of financial promotion over a long period of time was devastating to the institution and to make up the differ- worked , he said , to establis h interdisciplinary programs for doctoral degrees in order to alleviate pressures on si ngle departments. In addition to developing the fir.;t three campus dorms, the McConnell administration also oversaw co n s true ~ tion of Capen Hall (the present Main Street Farber Hall) and a new wing on Norton Hall. In his reminisce nce for the Archives, the former chancellor recalled the state of the Univer.;ity as he perceived it when he arrived: "I found some strong academic element.s in the University which exemplified Capen's conception of the institution .. . lt possessed a limited number of distinguished faculty members whose scholanhip was widely recognized; it also included a group of scholan whose academic reputation-was mainly local. "I sensed the existence on tbe campus, of a kind of informal, scholarly gellllemen's club, comprised of an intellectual aristocracy with a strong local orientation, drawn primarily from the faculty of the College of U:tter.; [Arts) and Sciences ... H e recalled those days as a time ~when there were all kinds of threats to academic freedom . " In various ways he -was "tested out on academic freedom" by the Univer.;ity. "I think that the facult y felt that nobody could be as responsible as Chancellor Capen with respect to the matter." Issues of freedom of speech extended beyond the Univer.;ity, and at times McConnell was pressured by the community. He told the story of the time Linus Pauling was invited to UB to give a lecture on chemistry. The American U:gion demaoded the invitation be withdrawn. McConnell retorted, ~oo you have to worry about cbemist.s... being made into Communists by a chemistry lecture?" • ... The only time Mn. McConnell or I ever asked for social publicity," be went on, was "when . .. we were having a dinner pany in honor of Linus Pauling." Certain peo ple in the community tried to manipulate the chancellor in other ways. Once a member of city government whose son had been refused admittance to the Medical School approached McConnell. "uffalo's sewer system extended only to the comer of the campus, beyond the Med School; it would soo n have to be extended, at a cost of $75,000. If the Medical School refused to accept his son, the official told McConnell, he would personally see to it that ence would have been extremely difficult . . .a State University probably bas more responsibility to a much wider area than a private urban university would have~ 1 don 'r mean co say that yo u can ignore Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier. but nonetheless this institution must have a wider reference than that, certainly. "While a univer.;ity needs to be sensitive to the research needs, to the devel- opmental needs of industry and commerce in its area, it has to be extremely careful to devise methods of doing th is without succumbing to undue control. ~(It is difficult) to maintain the integ- rity of the ins titution and yet to serve its community in appropriate ways," be During his tenure here, McConnell once said, he tried to put the financial house in order and to lay the foundation for strengthening UB's intellectual life. counseled. McConnell expressed his hopes for the future of the Univer.;ity, as well: "With the continued interest and support of this community, and the whole of Western New York, the University of Buffalo will grow into still greater stature and usefulness. No half-measures will assure this greatness, or enable the Univer.;ity to measure up to the needs and opportunities of this great region. "I sincerely hope that the Univer.;ity's future will always be sketched in bold lines and the entire community wiJI unite in whatever way may be necessary to give the city wouldn' provide the necessary funds . McConnell looked into the mittee of the University Council, said on admissions decision, found it fair and unbiased , and in the end the boy was not admitted and the sewer was built. cConnell recalled that he put a lot of effort into developing healthy, mutually beneficial relations between the Univenity and tbe community. When be M first came, there was .. no systematic community cultivation either of fmance or support," be said. ~rm afraid there was a kind of patronizing attitude toytard the Univenity in influential memben of tbe community." He established a ~liaison committee" to work on strengthening ties ~ween UB and tbe community.

He and Thomas D . O'Rourke of Cornell University, who followed, poi nted ou t that the type of soil unde rl yi ng the dest royed cities was a major cause of damage. Four cities were in the region closest to the quake's epicenter: S pitak. Lcninakan. Kirovakan. and Stepanavan. "Most of the severe earthq uake damage was co nfined to zones of alluvial soils in the valle ys surrounding Spitak a nd Leninakan," O'Rourke reported . ''There were wide varia ti ons in structural damage among the vi llages located in the va lleys and adjacent mountain areas. The pattern of damage see ms to correlate with' local soil condi tions ... For example. Si mpso n noted, .. Kirovakan and Leninaka n lie 10-20 km from o pposi te ends of the fault seg ment whic h broke in the December eart hquake. Although Leninakan is farther from the fault than Kirovakan. the damage in Leni nak.an was much more extensive and may be related to a mplificati on of grou nd motion due to th icker a nd softer sedi ments bc:neath that ci ty ... Also contributing to the almos t tota l destruction of Leninakan were the type a nd quality of construction of buildings . Wyllie exhibited many slides of damage of buildings in the Annenian cities, and attributed most of the deaths to people being crushed beneath massive slabs of precast concrete panels used in most of the modern constructi on. " In S pitak . a city of 20,000 nea r the epice nter. the re was not an und am aged build ing observed," Wyllie reported . " In Leninakan, a ci ty of over 250,000 peo ple. 80 per ce nt of more than 2 million sq uare meters of buildings were collapsed or heavily damaged .

Wyllie d isplayed examples of on-site improvisation in construction, where builders broke rules to ex tend walls or put together joints.

Many people died of crush syndro me three (o fi ve days after resc ue, provi ng th at survival odds are greatest when a perso n is unburied within an hour after a quake and when that pe rso n receives medical care within 24 hours after rescue. fter the presen tations, Sov ie t Amb assador Zvezdin spoke of his country's gratitude for American aid. .. American-Soviet relations became warmer," he said . He and his staff were moved , he related , by many "poor people" who came to the Soviet Mission in New York to give $5 or SIO and express their sympathy. Zve zdin was somewhat defeit sive about Soviet r8>ponse to the tragedy. The official death toll is 25,000, be said, and much of the aid came from the Soviet people themselves. Lessons were learned, he added , especially in regard to mistakes in construction. He stated ominously that where shoddy construction occurred, " the responsible people will answer for it. ... Zvezdin also predicted that in two years all the devastated cities wi ll be restored, " more beautiful than before." Ketter co ncluded the meeting by noting that Americans should not be smug.

He said that, contrary to media reports , the Soviet military set up emergency communications systems ve ry quickly after the quake hit , with power being restored to the area within four to seven days. He estimated that the economic loss to the region will total S 15 billion, as many of the industrial facili ties were heavil y damaged or completely destroyed . "The best-perfo rm ing facilities had steel framed s tru ctu r es with well anchored equipment," he noted. "The more common concrete precas t structures performed poorly." Even thou gh the Armenia Nuclear Power Plant in the region suffered no damage and the reactors o pe rated through the earthquake, the government has decided to shut down the plant permanently, Yane v said .

"At first , we thought that it was liquid and d ry waste that was coming into campus.

K oszuta desc ribed how her staff was assured of its safety in July by a New York State Health Department official. According to Koszuta, the official told the MFC group that " the Uni· versity's regulations for storage and disposal of radioactive wastes actually exceeded the Sta te regulations." Koszuta reiterated the difficulty her staffers felt, early on, in obtaini ng explanatory materials, suc h as blueprints, that would assuage employee fears . Koszuta described the grievance filed by the CSEA, and a late July meeting that feat ured a prese ntation by Mark Pierro of Radiat io n Protection Services.

Further. she added, a UU P health and safety official from Albany toured the facility in August "and found that it was, overall, quite safe. And frankly , we th ink the facility itself is probably as safe as could be made with in the context of what is known (to be) safe." Still, the planned cyclotron in P rker is worrisome to MFC staffers, said K.oszuta, who said the accelerator will be used in radioactive isotope production. In the meantime, Koszuta said she is worried about accidents or spills, the proximity to a parking lot "which is used by a wide cross-section of people," and leakage. "Right now, our concerns are that there might be something that we don 'I have knowledge of yet today. We don't know everything. . .The staff d oesn't feel safe. . .The staff can't trust th e operati on of Envi ro nment a l Health and Safety." D en nis Malone of Engineering, noting that he had 0 nce worked as a radiation safety officer at Cornell Lab, said " th ere is not an indi cat ion that the radiat ion level to whic h peo ple wi ll be ex p osed, wi ll be above wha t the Depanment or Energy conside rs the level for low-level radiat ion ... He added : " I can u-nd erstand yo ur worries th at so mething may develop later. that we don't now know. but that ho lds true for everything." Malo ne said t he MFC gro up should have bluep ri nt s and any other technical mate ri als it wishes, but pointed o ut that expertise is needed to properly interpret them . Co mm ented Senate Chair J ohn Boot: ''There comes a time when pas t.. si ns dep reciate ove r time. My se nse is tha t you 're still he a rke ning back to what was a ce rt ai n lack or informat io n. But as of this moment , my sense is that you have access to aU yo u want. .. Victor Dbyno o~glish comme nded Koszuta for hei,/Work in collecting the data. " You might wish to find out if the Department of Energy over time _h as changed its standards on safe a nd unsafe radiation .... You might also wish to find o ut if the University is getting paid for taking waste fro m all these other Units a ro und town." Student Derek LaMarche said "the easiest way to ease tensions" would be to have the R adiation Protection Office conduct extensive trai ning and information sessions for MFC staff. There have been such presen tat ions, Koszuta stated. A re there still classes in P a rker, LaMarche asked. Yes, said Koszut a, who added that a mechanical engineering professor said he preferred to have his class not scheduled in Parker. Also, she said, a pregnant architecture student has requested that her class be moved from Parker. The request was granted, according to Koszuta. Barbara Howell of Physiology said the matter has been "terribly mishandled from beginning to end" and called on the senate to establish a facilities management committee, a proposal that got support from Provost William Greiner. Greiner said he didn't think the Uni· ve rsity could ever entirely erase the unease felt by MFC employees in Parker. Pa rtly this is a question of the relative ease with which members of the scie ntific community deal with the is~uc . Greiner compared this sophistication on scie ntific matters with t.hc sometimes irrational fears experienced by nonscie ntists when it comes to radioactivity and the like. It may be better to segregate such scientific activities, Greiner said . "' He added : "Probably the best way to deal with the situation is to a<:celerate the planning to move the Millard Fillmore College administrative offiCeS to the (Amherst) campus .. . .I would hope we could move along faster than we have." Greiner said his understanding was that "the concern for technical safety had been well-bandied. 'But thoH>tber side of it, the one that helps people deal with it, we need to work on iL M 4D . �February 9 0 1989 Volume 20, No. 17 This Week THURSDAY•9 lllflfUNOlOGY CORE LfCTUREI • Nhtu..,.li< 1);,..,.... o ~ tr ~ir• .

In other words. SO l is extremely d angerous and is not cost effective. Estimates of the cost of th is hypothetical SDI system run well int o th e hundreds of billions of dollan . Given the present ftSCal crisis in Washington, and the many unmet budgetary needs still to be funded, such a priority as SDI makes no sense.

Rather than clarify the many important iss ues embod ied within the Law School ban o n m ilitary recruitment , the dea n has instead served to obfuscate them . We endeavor now to take the dean to task on these statements. First. the dean purpons that his decision is not anti-military nor does it impinge upon a student's right to obtain information from the military or FBI. He is wrong on both counts. Although the bl.n does not mention the military specifically, it has , in t!lful. an anti-military bias since any law student (and hopefully a dean) knows that according to Federal law the military is unable to admit k.nown homosex uals and so the ban effectively acu to selectively discriminate against the military.

The Governor's budget proposal cuts by -S47.000,000 the proposed SUNY budget for next year. We arc indeed being asked to pay ou r fatr share to get New York out of tts fiscal mess. Regardless of how this crisis developed , a few issues shou ld be addressed . The most obvious is t he priori ty of education in the Governor's eyes.

Meanwhile, there is a S 1,500,000 cui in the tuition waiver budget. This seems cont radict ory. When 1 appl ied to U B as a prospective graduate student, I was told the GRI would help me have a fu11tuition waiver and a co mpet itive stipend for fo ur years. as long as I maintained my GPA .

Anti-gay messages like .. All faggots must die" and ..

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

SNYDERMAN Repor1er SlaH was an historic occasion . Welcoming Archbishop Desmond M . Tutu Sunday night at Alumni Arena was an overflow crowd of 11,000 spectators - the largest crowd ever convened in the history of UB. They wtre packed into the stands in the arena and chairs on the floor. They were sitting in the aisle and standing three deep on the jogging track above. They came early and applauded long and enthusiastically as the archbishop lashed out against apartheid. Tutu, who bas been instrumental in the fight against racial oppression in South Africa, was invited to Buffalo by the EpiscoQal Diocese of Western New York. Prior to his address at UB, be preached at St. Paul'~ Cathedral I t downtown. Tutu used his address both to thank Americans, especially students, for their help in fighting apartheid, and to urge that the fight be continued . He opposed the idea that sanctions are useless, pleading for whatever help the United States can give South Africans, bOth black and white, in their struggle against" apartheid. "I do know that I speak on behalf of millions of our people when we say, thank you for your concern, thank you for ;tour suppon, thank you fo_r your commitment to the struggle for JUStice, and peace, and freedom in our beautiful land," Tutu said. be archbishop went on to honor college students, whom he credited as being instrumental in turning American public · opinion against apartheid. Tutu said that it was tbcte students wbo convinced Congress to enact sanctions in 1984 against South Africa , overriding former President Reagan's veto. "I do want to pay a very warm tribute, especially to young people," Tutu said . T Ar~hbishop Tutu .. At that time . it seemed utterly inconceivable that so meth ing of that a better world .' And they gave: us a renewed faith in humankind ... kind could happen. And yet, young people Tutu called for a round of applause in at colleges and universities, throug h their co mmitment in campaigns and demonstrations, were able to do something that was quite: remarkable: change the: moral climate in this country ... Tutu said it was admirable that American youth would protest against thanks for the effons of these students. The audience answered with a thunderous ovation. Tutu then described what he sees as the evil basis for apartheid : the: racism underlyi ng the suppression. ..They used to go around with a apanheid with the same strength that their predecessors had protested the picture of a disheveled black man and they would say 'would you like yo ur daughter to marry this man?' And. of course, they knew that they would succeed in stampeding people to the Vietnam war. This is especially noteworthy, be said, because: what is happening in South Africa has no direct effect on many of the demonstrators, in contrast to the war in Indochina, literally election process to vote for those who ··b lack ho melands. ·· These pseud o-s tares have been crea ted by the: So uth Africa n government and declared independent by the sa me . However. no other country in the: world has recogni zed them as separate entities. Tutu said the homelands have hun South African black s because the government has forced them to move from their homes in other parts of the country. This process dehumanizes. the archbishop pointed out , because .. when you turn people into aliens, yo u are saying that they will have no rights, really in the land of their binh, cenainly not political rights. said 'black people are a peril, are a .. But even more ghastly than this was danger.' " Tutu said ... You know, of course, nowadays , black guys say, in a retort, 'show us your daughter first.' .. that black people were uprooted , era protesters . .. With the South African isSue, it was quite extraordinary that young people who ncedn \ have been concerned at all, because it is something that is miles and T a matter of life or death for many 1960s- miles away, actually got so committed .... This is an extraordinary occurrence that they have an idealism that says 'despite appearances to the contrary, this can be utu said that recently. the authorities have been trying to camouflage the wrongs of apanheid. One of the methods he said the government is us ing is the removed from where they used to live, where there was work, where there was food . They were uprooted and dumped. Now you don\ dump persons. You dump things or rubbish. "And our people were dumped as if they were rubbish - in poverty-stric,en homeland resettlement camps, where there was little food , little work." Tutu said that the result of this was to shatter the South African black nuclear family because the fathers were forced to mlgt-ate to the cities in order to find work. while the rest of the family was not allowed to travel. " And so black famil y life was being undermined - not accidentally - (it was) uodemtined by deliberate government policy. And you know, this happens in a count ry that says it is Christian! It ~appeos in a country that actually has a public holiday dedicated to the sanctity of family life!" these homelands, Tutu said, hunger Iof n poor is nutritional balance. "Black is rampant.

So children starve, not because there is no food, not because of an accident. .. Children starve because of a deliberate government policy." Tutu likened the actions of the South African government to the violent acts of the German NaziS in the period preceding and during World War II. .. Something that can allow such things to happen is evil. lt is as evil as Nazism. It is something that has got to be removed from the face of the earth. Too many people overseas are almost taken in, hoodwinked, by the South African government's suggestions that it is now refo rming apa rtheid , making it slightl y more comfortable. "Now, could yo u ever agree to anybody saying we want to reform Nazism, you know, let Hitler put children into gas chambers or J ews into concentration ca mps, humanely. Apartheid is a scourge, it is a Frankenstein .... you do not reform a Frankenstein, you destroy a Frankenstein .... In 1984, Tutu said, the government adopted a new constitution that deals with blacks only in passing. It is .. a new constitution that excl udes 73 per cent of the population. The vast majority of th e: country are mentioned in one sentence of that constitution ... Tutu said that singling out skin color as a method of discrimination makes no more sense than choosing any other characteristic ... Can you imagine, instead of saying, 'that the university is going to be set aside for white people,' we were to say, ' the attribute that is going to be the on that gives you privilege is the size: of your ose,' "Tutu said. .... "Supposing we said, 'the best places are going to be reserved for large noses only. If you have small noses, you must apply to the minister of small nose affairs for permission to attend the university set aside for large noses.' It is utterly ridiculous - the size of one's nose tells us nothing that is significant abo ut the person." A ccording to Tutu, the anti-apartheid movement cuts across racial lines. People of all races in South Africa, he said, are fighting the injustices. " When l - - -- - -- - - -- - - -- - say our people. I don~ mean only black people. for in South Afnca. there are many white people who oppose apartheid and that is important to recognize. .. It is.jmportant to recognize that th.ere is a large: and growing group of wh1tes who say 'we refuse to serve in the South African Defense Forces because to do so is t o defend some t hing absolutely indefensible.· " The archbishop noted that the government is crack.ing down on nonviolent opposition to apartheid a nd not j ust the viole nt actions sponso red by the African National Congress and other rebel groups. ..The South African government is increasi ngly crimina..liz.ing opposition to apartheid . It is becoming treasonable to oppose apartheid non-violently." Tutu mentioned some recently convicted anti-apartheid activists, the "Delmas Trialists . ·· He asked the aud ie nce to write their representatives in Congress. urging that pressure be placed on the South African government to grant a n early appeal and bail during the appeal process to these defenqants. " If they are guilty of treason, then I. and others who have opposed the system. am guilty of treason as well." Tut u proclaimed . "If to work for a more just. a more democratic, a no-racial South Africa is to be guilty of treason. the n " ' are guilty of treason, and we stand unashamed and we will repeat wh atever it is that the government says is a crime ~ T utu closed his SJ>t7Ch with an appeal for more sanctJons and act ions against South Africa. "For goodness sake, if you say you a bhor violence, if you say you want to sec the South African situation change reasonably, non-violently, then you can't say to us 'don't use violence' and 'don't ask for sanctions.' ... It doesn't make sense to say to w wh o do not have the vote that 'sanctions arc not effective, sanctions burt those you are trying to help.'" Tutu laughed at that sarcastically before continuing, "and then you apply sanctions to Nicaragua. yo u apply sanctions to Panama. " We appeal to you, we want to be free . we know we are going to be free. That ~~ not in question. We are going to be' free' And we want to be able to invite you. when we celebrate our liberation ... The crowd applauded loudly. Ql New tuition scholarship policy recommended to provost t' By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD . Reporter StaH he policy review commiu ec. a standing sub-committee of the Gradua t e: School Executive Committee. has recommended a new tui tion scholarship policy that should not impair the University's abili1y to recruit good students and will alleviate the current b ud get problem, said Committee Chair Joseph Tufarietlo. Tufarie llo said. however, that the new policy reduces tuition scholarships ..close to the bone." in o rd er to keep the money spent o n them wi thin the S4. 7 million allocated for tuition scholarships at UB by SUNY Central. "Further restrictions," he warned. "will affect programs and recruitment. .. T T he policy review com mittee began looking at the tuition sc holarship budget problem late last September. Several months earlier, administrators in the Graduate School had announ ced that the tuit io n sc holarship fund for 1988-89 was al ready overdrawn by S500,poo and that another $800,000 would be added to that by the end of the year. To balance tho-budget , they said, the Uni ve rsity's long-term policy for the distribution of tuition sc hol arships would have to be revised. Besides Tufariello, the members of the commi tte e include Jane DiSalvo , assistant to th e vice provost for grad uate education; Kenneth T. Edds, associate professor of anat omical sciences; Walter Hobbs, associate professor of educational studies; Mark Karwan , professor of industri al engineering; Erika Metzger, professor of modem languages and literatures; David Stowell, student repre se ntat ive from the Graduate Student Association, and Claude Welch, professor of political science. The committee studied two plans to solve the tuit ion scholarship budget problem. The first of these proposed that all tuition scholarships be limited to inState tuition. Limiting the 2,000 tuition scholarships awarded by UB to the inState tuition fee of $2,150 would take care of the financial problem. However, said Tufariello, the committee decided that the ac8demic cost of the plan would be too great since it would "seriously affect the Univenity's ability to recruit students." The committee's decisio n was partially based on a study of II graduate programs similar to UB's across the country conducted by Director of Institutional Studies Jeffrey Dutton. According to Dutton's stud y, all of these universities offer tuition scholarships or wa.J'vers aJong with graduate assistantships. T he other plan studied by the committee, w hich it eventually end orsed. was originall y pro posed by Donald Renni e. vice provos t for graduate education, late last summer. Rennie reco mmend ed that tuiti on sc holarships be restricted to the minimal number of credit hours required for an academic program, regardless of the recipient 's residency status. Thus, the tuition scholarships of st ud ents in doctoral programs would ge neraliy be limi ted to 72 credit hou rs. whiJe those of st udents in master's programs wou ld be limited to 36 hours. A cco rding to Rennie's calculations. th is plan would solve the budget problem without penalizing out-of~state students. Seventy-two credit hours averages out to nine credit hours per semester in a four-year d octoral program. But first· year graduate students usually need to take more than nine credit hours a se mester, while students who have been admitted to the ca ndid acy st age generally need to take less. According to Rennie, the proposed tuition policy, with a lillie mathematical ingenuity, can provide for aU students. Ea.:h graduate department would be allotted a certain number of tuition scholarships. It would then be the responsibility of the individual departments to see that the av~rag~ total number of credit hours taken by students with scholarships does not exceed nine credit hours per semester per student. Thus, ftrst-year graduate students could take more than nine credit hours if their schedules were averaged out by third- or fourth-year students taking less than nine. "This plan," said Tufariello, "allows flexibility within a 72-credithour limit." While the plan to restrict the number of credit hours covered by tuition scholarships limits the number of courses a student can take, Tufariello said that in graduate schools at the beginning of tht most cases st udents should be able to year. The rest (te n per cent) wtll be obtain .. adequate academic preparation " ret ai ned until late in the year for for their fields . Programs that need assistance ... In fact, he went on, a stud y done by In addition to reviewing the ca5e' ot Dutton of UB suggests that .. some students with special needs, the TU1t1on graduate students (with tuitio n scholarScholarship Implementation Com mllt ~ ships) may be taking more classes than will be charged with the broaJ:-t they need... responsibility of ensuring that Rtht According to Dutton's st ud y, 6 1 per integrity of the different acad emiC cent of doctoral students at the progra ms at UB is preserved.

Tufariello noted that th is could be "an option for students who want to ta._ c more courses."' ••II "It shouldn't impair recruitment, but is within the budget that SUNY allows. " specified by the proposed policy. Thus the policy review commiuee suggested in a memorandum sen t to Donald Rennie on Dec. 2 that a "Tuition Scholarship Implementation Committee .. be set up .. to consider special needs." According to that memorandum "st udent s in Anthropology, Art : Communacauve D1sorders and Sciences and Philoso phy, as well as program~ including the M.B.A., M.S.W., M . Arch., M:F.A., and M.U.P. may have difficulty tn conforming to the proposed policy." This committee. said Tufariello would decide "which of these sit u ati~ns are valid." Its membership, he continued, :-would be University-wide and would tnclude faculty, graduate students and administrative staff." ' T he money for these special cases would be obtained from funds reserved tn ~he tuition scholarship budget for thiS purpose. According to TufaneUo, "the bulk of the budget (90 per cent) will be releued to the different T he new tuition scholarship policy. which would go into effect next fall. bas been endorsed by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, as well aspy Vice Provost Rennie. It has also been presented to the deans of the vari ou)l schools. Currently, "it is before the provost," said TufarieUo. While the new policy will certainl y ameliorate the tuition scholarship budget problem, it may not completely solve it. According to Governor Cuom o's executive budget proposed Jan. 17, there will be a $1.5 million reduction in the SUNY-wide tuition scholarship budget of Sl7.5 million for next year. According to Rennie, this eight per cent reduction in the scholarship budget is the same as the amount originally added to the budget when out-of-state tuition increased last year. Basically, he said, "they backed out of the in itial increase." Rennie added lljat "it is going to . be very difficult to come in at (the tuttton scholanhip) budget. It's soing to requtre a lot of scrupulous attention on the part of the administration and selected faculty and grwlt181e atUdcnu. "It's notsoinsi<t'bc easy and we may not m8kc it.

'Td heard they danced in a linlc dance ho use made of sod and driftwood . I went in there one night and there were 50 peo- ple doing the most amazing dance with drums I'd ever seen... said Elder who was re ce ntly hired by UB as an associate professor of media study. Besides being ~unbelievably beautiful. " Elder went on, the dance "tics the wh o le village together. A lot of gift distribution goes on during the dancing. These gifts might mark a child's first dance, or hunt, a girl's first berry picking, a baby's birth, or some other 'first • in the Yupfu'livcs."Thc gift-giving strengthens the bonds between people and also " balances out the wealth." F ive years later Elder, who by then was teaching at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks , went back to Emmonak to make a film about the dancing. This film became .. Uks uum Cauyai: The Drums of Winter .... which premiered at the Margaret Mead Film Festival in New York City this past September. The film will be sho wn at U B o n Feb. 7. To ma.ke "The Drums o f Winter," Elder had to farst ask for permiss ion from the Yup'ik village council.

In view of her role as ••a member of a dominant culture filming a minority one, "the approval of Elder's subjects has always been important in her work With Alaskan natives. Thus when she went to Alaska in the early '70s after receiving an M.

"because the older people don 't like them." Yet it was the older people who then decided that the rule co uld be suspended for the project. "They saw more value in it (the film) ," said Elder. "They thc>ught it was impor- ~what the whole approach to the document ary - how yo u do your research . how you pick a subject , how you get acce$s to th at s ubject . how you interv iew peo ple, how you transcribe an interview, how you deal with massi ve amount s o f information. how you have community review and community input into the project. the nature of subjectivi1y ve rs us ferent backgrounds... they can look at those.

I'd like to look at a lot of people's work and discuss it with them and just see what comes up in terms of what subject I choose." The desire to be more exposed to the work of other filmmakers was a major factor in Elder's decision to accept the position in Buffalo. "I was in Alaska for 16 years and thought it was time to expand my horizons. Buffalo was closer to the East Coast and the film world.

AL TBACH or the past sex;ral y~aFS. incidents of racial prejudice in America's colleges and universities have become increasingly common . While it might be an exaggeratio n to say that racism is sweeping across the country, there has been a significant rise in overt prejudice. It is likely that for every nationally reported incident, a dozen more at lesser known coiJeges have taken place. These outbreaks have caught academic leaders, and the public. by sUrprise. The unive rsities, it was thoug~haps more than an y other sociaern:stitution, were free of racism and prejudice. Recent events have pro ved that academic institutions are not islands of enlightenment but rather reflect the social and political trends of societ y. Racial prejudice: in its man y forms is ali ve on campus. F h 1s important to examine the nature of rhesc incidenrs and ro undersrand some of the underl ying causes. Perhaps s uch an understanding will permit American higher education to deal wnh the scourge of the Eighties. One can argue that since only a minority of campuses have experie nced racial problems and that , by and large, race relations are fairly good, there is no cause for undue co ncern. But that obscures some key realities. The fact is that there is a significant degree of racial polariz.ation on campus, that the national posture during the Reagan years made racial prejudice somehow respectable, and that so me of the most affluent and best educated you ng people in America think in racial terms. It is as if several decades of struggle for racial equality and civil rights have been forgotten . In a..perversc way, effons to use education to compen sate for broader societal racial and class inequalities have come home to haunt the campuses. Racial groups frequently live rather separate social and intellectual lives. Minority stud ies programs are all too often programs for minorities to study a bout themselves. Black students frequently feel that i hey are not fully at home on predominantly white campuses. Academic policy makers are acutely aware of racial issues when they make decisions about staffing, student admissions, and the like. Recently announced Education Department investigations of alleged discrimination against Asian-Americans in admissions at Harvard and UCLA are also part of the equation. Last year's lengthy, widely publicized and at times acrimonious debates conc:crning including non-Western cultures in. the .. Western Civil.i.zat.ion" course at. Stanford University (and mirrored at other institutions) are also part of the equatjon. Racial and ethnic issues, for berter or worse. have intruded into all aspects of university life at the end of the 1980s - in admissions and hiring, in the curriculum, in st udent cultu re . It is. perhaps. not surprising that the inevitable tensions generated from time to time boil over. dramatic manifestations of T heracialmostpolarization on campus have been the various incidents of public prejudice. In a few instances, organized cam paigns were involved. At Dartmouth, fo r example, the right-wing Dartmouth Review fueled antiminority feelings on campus. Much more common have been fairly random public acts of prejudice that stimulated reaction and sometimes conflict. Among the campuses where such altercations have attracted national attention are Michigan, Columbia. Massachusetts, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Berkeley, and others. In most cases, anti-minority actions, ranging from racist banners hung from donn windows to racist posters and the like, have fueled campus controversy, reaction from the minority student com munity and their white supponers. and sometimes the involvement of campus administrators. At Columbia. protests against campus racism yie lded discip linary action against the protesters (but not the perpetrators) by the University administration. In a few cases, such as at the University of Michigan, racial incidents stimulated significant anti-racist demonstrations. In all cases, attitudes we"' polarized and feelings ran high. • A typical incident at Stanfo'"<! in the fall of 1988 is indicative.

The response of many un ivc rs111~ has been to pretend that the proble m did not exist - and often to av01d invoking disciplinary actions aga1 mt those involved. W hy have racial incidents rath er suddenly become an imponanl campus issue in the late 1980s? .I th m~ that there are a number of underly m ~ factors which have contributed. One of the legacies of the Reagan era is a lad of caring about racial issues in particular and social problems in general. Indeed, the "Willie Hon an ·· messages in Bush campaign advenisements are very much a part of the legacy. Racial p"'judice, subtly exhibited in high places, a tendenC) to trickle down. Just as imponant. th< lack of vigorous enforcement of civil rights laws, the taming of the U.S. C•v•l Rights Commissiob, and official opposition to new anti-bias initiatives are all part of the social fabric. Man y campus administrators, never terribly enthusiastic about affirmative action goals in any case, have put issues of racial equality on the back burner. In many ways, the direction of national poli~y has been away from the progressive goals of the Sixties. On campus, race bas become an important underlying tension. The numbers of minority students increased during the past two decades while there has been only timited recognition of 1he special need s of many minority students. Minorities have frequent ly formed informal networks, and social interaction hu been limited.

In many ways. the ed ucatio nal system has become a key point of con test abo ut race in America and it is possible th at campus racial tensions renect this co nflict. It has proved im possi ble to desegregate housing or to significantly improve the average income levels of blacks. Schools and co lleges are easier to change. They find u dofficult to fight back . and they are relatively easy to manipulate. Thus, urban public schools are under court supe rvision in desegregation cases.

T he ine vitable tensions arc so metimes expressed in locali1cd racaal inciden ts on cam pus. rc campus racial conflicts symbolic of widespread racism among studen ts o r isolated problems to be handled on an individual basis? Rea lit y probably lies somew here between th ese two poles. Campus o pinion polls consistent ly show that the very large majority of American studen ts are liberal to moderate in thei r political atti tudes and quite progressive on racial a nd eth nic iss ues. Students see themselves as tolerant of diversity a nd accepting of dive rse lifes tyles. Yet. there has also been a marked increase in .. me-ism'' among st ud ents. St uden ts are concerned with their own careers and well-being. They choose majors. such as pre-law and management, whi ch arc li kely oo yield high-sa la ry jobs. T here has been an increase of support for funda ment alist and conservative religious o rga nizatio ns. Overall, there has been a decline in student social activism and commitme nt. And the attitud e surveys show li ttle in teres t in public se rvice ca reers. alt ho ugh teaching has regained a bit of its earlier popularity. T hus. student attitud es indicate few signs of increasi ng racial prejudice although students (and the gene ral public) tend to be less ~ s upportive of affi rm a tive action programs than other issues of what migh t be labelled the liberal agenda. A Unive rsity fac ult y and administrators must recognize th at there is a racial problem in American higher education. It is. in co nsiderable: part , a problem which rcnects broader social problems and tensions in socie ty but whi ch is played o ut in an academic envi ro nment , where commUnication is easy and everyone is highly articul ate. The academic community must take racial iss ues serio usly. This docs not mean approvi ng every .. minority stud ies .. initiative or lowering acade mic standard s. It docs require un iversity administrators to do everything possible to ensure that minority students feel comfortable o n campus. It means that stud ent affa irs staffs mu st be sensitive to racial issues. It certainly requires universities to make it clear that racial into lerance will not be permitted o u campus - and that those responsible for racist incidents be quickly and publicly d isci pl ined . Most universities have tried to downplay the connicts until they reached crisis proportions. Many have refused to decisively deal with either the sy mptoms or the underlying issues. At least Stanford's president quickly brought racial iss ues to the center of university debate quick ly. The student community also has a key respo nsibility to ensure th at racial intolerance does not become an acce ptable form of behavior and th at racial incidents are no t condoned or laughed off. One has the impression that social rel ations between blacil;; and whstes are cool. a nd that there is surprisi ngly little close con tact. Racial and eth nic jokes are commonplace. and racist g raffiti abound . Neither con~~ious~~ of r~ciaJ problems nor possuve actton to tmprove things seems evident amo ng students. ampus_ rac~sm is not a problem that Will dtsappcar, nor has it become an overt crisis. Yet, there is C enough evidence of real problems and potential difficulties to warrant immediate action. Unfortunately, campus racis m reflects broader political and social forces in American society and may be an inevitable legacy of Rcaganism. For the present. th e academic community must first recognize the problem and then act to limit the damage. If the university. an institution devoted to inquiry, a diver· sity of opinio n, and the life of the mind , cannot eliminate racial intolera nce. we arc indeed in trouble.

Faculty Senate lot of information reaches me, up front o r on the sly, about faculty sho rtcomings. There is the presumption of innocence, of course, and there are forceful reasons to be especially wary or ano nymous commun ications, but on the other hand allegations arc no t aut omatically false sim pl y because they arc ano nymous. I am depressed about the vas t number of faculty no t meeting classes during the truncated Th anksgiving week. This is wholly unacceptable. and it creates an unfo rtun ate s nowball effect. A "It is not only pure malfeasance, this theft of services by not meeting classes at the designated times, it is purely illegal. " As many teachers decide not to meet classes on thr. Mon~ay an1 Tuesday of Thanksgiving week. thus earning some cheap applause. many stud ents arc left with but one or two cla~ses during those days. a nd they Becide to take an early Oighl o ut. The remaining faculty is left with only haJr the regular audience, making honest progress a bit difficult. Beyond that, they receive angry stares for not themselves having canceled class altogether. It is not o nly pure malfeasance, this theft of services by not meeting classes at the designated times, it is purely illegal, in that as a consequence the class fails to meet the minimum stipulated number of cont.act hours. imilarly pervasive and pcrvcrsivt. and similarly illegal. is the widely adopted custom of giving final exams during the last week in class. It may S surprise faculty engaging in these routines to hear th at, while they hea r the applause. my office gets a fair smatter· ing of protesting students who rightly feel cheated . Other deplo rable fac ulty fai lings include late grading, often by weeks. at substantial costs not only to the studcnu involved but also to ou r system, as grade reports are delayed or have to be se nt twice. and many telephone calls from complaining students and their parents have to be fielded by o ur hapless staff. And then we have colleagues whose grades, had they been given in the meat inspectio n industry. would be subject to cri minal charges: the all-A grade rs. On occasion, eve n, all- A without any tests and sight· unscen. Some defend this by arguing that grading is degrading. If you feel th at way, do n't become an instructor. And th en there are the exam· recyclers, in whose courses students stud y past exams rather than the subject matter. What o n earth moves these professors? Is it laz.iness, is it to show con tempt for the students a nd the University alike, is it to prove that they have , ahem. more important th ings to do? And then we have the idealists who hea r. see. and speak no evil as they administer exams in a setting virt ually gua ranteeing rampant cheating. It is part of the job to see to it that exams fairl y rep resent the st udent 's know ledge. not some o th er student's brillia nce. The accommodatio ns make this a t imc.consuming job, and it is an unappeali ng task. but it is necessary. e should meet classes, all the scheduled ones, give exams at their sched uled times, prevent cheating, grade fairly, and return grades promptly. That is what we are paid for. that is what we shou ld do , that is all of us. And to top it off. we might as well go the extra mile. Why not return grades on postcards provided by students, or even whole exams in envelopes provided by st udents? Surely that would help in making this a kind~r and gentler university. Students are o\jr most important product, and cuslorper satisfaction is an important component in the delivery of services. FIRE DOWN BELOW by W1lham Goldmg (Farrar, St raus & Giroux: SI7 .9S).

In the most se rious ly injured pati ents, the st ud y s ho wed . even a sh o rt delay of o nl y 24 hours increased the average length of hospital stay by nine days and the cos t of hos pitaliza tion by more than $13 .000. Lawrence B. Bo ne. M . D .. ass asta nt professor of o rtho paedi c and general ~ urgcry. said the stud y is the fi rst prospective exami nat ion o f the benefi ts o f earl y vers us delayed fracture stabilizati o n. The res ult s. to be repo rt ed in an upco ming iss ue of th e Journal of Bom• and Joini Surger.r. have bee n prese nted befo re the Amenca n Academ y of O r\h opt di C Surgery and Ame rican Orthopedic Assoc1a t10n. The stud y co mpared the medicaJ course of patients whose th igh - b o n ~ fractures were stabilized operatively within the fi rst 24 hours after injury with that of th ose whose fract ured femur was placed in lraction and not stabilized for more than 48 ho urs. Dr. Bone noted that in hospitals with out a trauma service the dela y in stabilizing fractures in traum a patients ma y st retch into days. He said the results confirm both the experience of major trauma centers where fractures in multipl y~injure d patients are stabilized as soon as possi ble and studies based on review of patient records from trauma ce nters. r. Bone said the study shows that immediate Stabilization of fractures. whether they be of the femur, pelvis, or other bones, should be a focus of medical effons to treat trauma patients. ..The patients are in the best shape they are going to be in when they first arrive," he added . "There is very little reason nOt to stabilize the fracture when they first co me in, reg,rdless of their other injuries, and that includes head injuries. " If a hospital doesn) have the facilities or capabilities to do this, the patient should be transferred to a trauma center that does this routinely because it not D (Above) Or Lawrence B Bone and Or Steven LaSS@<-Siudy X- rays of fra clu~.

By reducing the incidence of com plicatio ns. we were able to red uce hospitalizat io n costs by nearly half in our st ud y." Dr. Bone was principal investigat o r for the stud y, which invo lved patien ts at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. where he did his residency in orth o paedics in conjunction with the University of Texas Southwestern Med ical Center at Dallas. He is now directo r of the musculosk.eletaJ trauma se rvice in the Department of Onhopaedics at the Erie County Medical Center. Also involved in the stud y were Ken neth D . Johnson. M.D .. now of the Vanderbilt University Depanment of Onhopedics. and John Weigelt. M.D., and Roben Scheinberg. M .D ., both of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The st ud y was designed to evaluate the impact of early versus late stabilizat ion of leg fractures on the incidence and severity of pulmonary complications and the occurrence of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients. A pattern of progressive respiratory failure, the syndrome has a 50 per cent mo nalit y rate, according to Dr. Bone. he 177 patients in the stud y were randomly assigned to early and delayed stabilization groups. which were T "If a hospital doesn't have the facilities or the capabilities to do this, the patient should be sent to one that does." subdivided into two groups: the less severely injured and those with multiple inju ries. All emergent and urgent surgical procedures were performed on each patie nt according to his specific injuries. Onl y the fracture of the femur, the bone extending from the pelvis to the knee, was randomized to early or delayed treatment. Early stabilization had a positive impact among those with multiple injuries, with the syndrome developing in onl y I of 45 patient s whose fract ures we re sta bili zed early. compared to 5 of 37 of those in the late stabiliza tio n gro up. ARDS d id not develop in an y of the less-severely inj ured patients. Dr. Bone said significan t pulmonar y com~lication s de velo ped in 14 of the 37 patient s with multiple trau ma and delayed fracture sta bilization. On the other ha nd , only I of the 45 patients with multiple injuries and early fracture stabilization developed significant pulmonary complications. Among the most seriously injured patients, those in the early stabilization group hjld average hospital stays of 17.5 days at a total cost of$19,492, compared to an average 26.6 days at $32,915 for those whose fractures were stabilized after 48 hours. In those who were less severely inj ured , the average time of hospitalization was 7.3 days fo f the early stabilization group and 10.2 days for those whose fracture was stabilized after 48 ho urs. The cost of hospitalization averaged $5,235 fo r the early group and S6,929 for the late group. None of the less severely injured patients needed to be placed on a respirator or in an intensive care unit. Among those with multiple injuries, 18 of 42 stabilized early, and 24 of 37 stabilized late, required intubation and admis~ sia n to an in tensive care unit. The early group spent an average of 2.4 days-on a ventilator and·2. 7 days in the ICU , while in the late group there was an average 6.9 days on a ventilator and 7.6 days in an ICU .

Born the son of a sharecropper in Alabama, Lewis has devoted his life to protecting human rights to ensure personal dignity and building what he calls "the beloved community" of peace, justice. and brotherhood. A graduate of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, Lewis also holds B.S. degrees in religion alld philoso phy from Fisk University in Nashville. Prior to being elected to Congress in 1987, he served on the Atlanta City Counci l, where he was an advocate for human and neighborhood values.

In a few cases, stolen tags have been found . "" We check the numbers o n the co mputer and sec: if it's the right car," Griffin said . If the tag is found to be stolen, the cul prit faces a c ha rge of possession of stolen propeny, which is a C lass A misdemeanor and carries a maximum sentence of S I ,000 and one year in jail. In cases where the tag has been forged . Public Safety has referred the matter to the Student-Wide Judiciary. .. We're reluctant to go with the more serious charge." said Griffin.

CD �February 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 16 By ED KIEGLE Repone< Slaff oming to study in the United States from a foreign country is a difficult process. Amencan culture is very different from that of most foreign countries, and the language, for many, is difficult to master. Helping foreign students become assimilated into the academic and social life of the United States is the job of the Intensive English Language Institute, or JELl. The institute was established in June of 1971, and bas received students from 101 countries since its inception. Each summer JELl welcomes about 300 students into the country and helps them with the initial process of settling in to the academic and social life of Buffalo. According to Stephen Dunnett. director of the JELl program, there have been trends in the nationalities of students in English education programs: "At one time, the majority of foreign students were from Western Europe, · then it shifted to Latin America, then Africa. then the Middle East with the influx of OPEC dollars, and currently the majority, over 60 per cent, come from the Far East." He explained that Japan is currently undergoing an ..education boom .... and the number of Japanese students m the United States has tripled in less than five years to around 16,000. "It's the thing to do if you 're in the middle class to go and study abroad. in Eu rope, Canada. or the U.S.," Dunnett explained. C 0 ften . students come to JELl through sponsors or scholarship programs such as the Fu lbri ght Scholarship. U B"s program boasts more Fulbright Scholars than. any other intensive English program tn the nauon . Thus, JELl is often chosen/or the student, not by the student. One of the reasons that UB's program has a ..strong reputation overseas and a long waiting list" is its unorthodox approach to English education. . "We are not trying to teach English for integrative purposes,.. said Dunnett. "Developing nations can' afford to keep students here for years and years, and students in technical fields (engineering is the most common area of study of JELl students) may not have the interest or the ability to learn proficiency. "We teach English for academic purposes. We want to prep~ students to compete with n~tive-speaking ~tudents after the I 5 or 20 weeks. So JELl students' English may not sound as good as students from other English programs, but they can pass the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and more than that, they can compete very successfully with American students m the classroom." or course, the difficulties of studying in the United States go beyond learmng the language. America and her people are often radically different from what students fror,n abroad are used to. "Asian students have to adjust to the open, assertive interaction of Americans," said Dunnett. "They are overwhelmed by boisterous or sponlalleous behavior. "Africans tend to have a large extended family, and are shocked that we are so impersonal, and lack collective responsibility," be continued. "Latin Americans are accustomed to a warm, close circle of friends .' and relatives, and often feel that A~ncans are superficial, and not warm or welcoming. They often have to get used to toning down their behavior." So students who enroll in JELl accept a double challenge. First, to learn a language that, especially for Asians, is difficult to master. Second, to study the language in the context of its own culture, however alien that culture may seem. A nibal Farias came to the U.S. in the summer of 1988 from Guayaquil, Ecuador. His first memory is of an encounter in McDonald ·s .... went across Main Street to get some food after a very long trip to Buffalo. As soon as I ordered, the girl said 'hereatago,' whic~ I couldn' understand." Eventually, Fanas deduced that the question was "for here or to go, ... but, he said , "'it showed me the way American people experience time they are more stressed ." On the other haod, Japanese students tend to see Americans as more outgoing than the people in Japan. "People you don' lmow will say hello," remarked Naoko Ohwaki, who came to Buffalo from Nagoya in July, 1987. "Americans are more direct. For example, if you can' find something in the supermarket, you can just ask anyone around you." It seems that o~ the most difficult things to get used i"ais the temperament of the people. "{Americans] are very blunt and frank," said Nobu lgawa. a native of Kanazawa who bas been studying at UB for two and a half years. "We [Japanese] are very shy; we aren' used to seeing things like friends who 1r.iss each other in public." Farias, in contrast, found the lack of "group feeling" disturbing. "In the U.S., parties are more •individual oriented,· you come to a party a~d d~ "':hal you want. Jn South Amen~ 1t IS more important to be part of the group. ·.. One thing that surprised me was when people said, ' 1 hope you have a good time. "In South America, you don' say that , you go out and have a good time ... Khalid Tarkhan of Cairo echoes Farias' sentimenlS . .. In Egypt, you will get calls or visits at least once or twice a day. Here, it is possible to spend a week when nobody will drop by." Perhaps the most unusual thing for foreigners to get accustomed to is the individuality of Americans, especially American st udents. "In Japan, people try to follow fashion closely, people don' tilr.e to look different," Ohwalr.i said. "But here people wear whatever they want. After coming here, I felt that people 10 Japan are very •imilar to each other. I didn' realize that in Japan." "I ordered ·at McDonald's, and the girl asked me 'hereatago?' I couldn't understand at first. Americans are more stressed.... " - ANIBAL FARIAS "Some people don't try to understand when they know you are foreign. On the phone, sometimes they just· h ang up.... " - NAOKO OHWAK I "The most difficult thing for me was the individualism," agreed Tarkhan. "In the United States, everyone is on their own. It is difficult to fmd someone who can match your way of life." "In general, people are friendly," said Ohwaki, "but some people don' lry to understand you when they know you are a foreigner. Sometimes, on the telephone, people will just hang up - and I have to ask an American rriend to call If it's something imponant. .. S uch difficult ies can be traced back to the goals of JELl. The primary intention of the program is to prepare foreign students for academic life. At first glance, Japanese students would seem to have an advantage, since English is taught there as part of pre-university education. Yet in Japan, argued lgawa, "English education is only reading, writing, and grammar. We are not accustomed to listening and speaking." .. In one sense, language is culture, .. observed Farias. "So it is impossible to know English as weU as a native spealcer." The difficulty is compounded when foreign students associate frequently with people from their home country. "The only way to really learn a language is to speak it," said Ohwaki. "But I seldom get a chance to spealc to others. It is difficult to malce American friends." But, lgawa warned, "foreign students associate with each other too often. You must associate with American people to improve listening and speaking abitity." In fact, lgawa specifically asked to be placed in .;1 dormitory where there we re no other Japanese stud ents . .. 1 have many American friends who are ve.ry kind and correct me when 1 make a mLStake," he added . Even after leaving the lt:.LI program. students must get used to the way of American universities, which isn't always easy ... In a university in the l!nited States, there is more emphasas on individual production. and a closer relationship between student and professor, •• commented Farias . .. In South America, there is more group effort and interaction between you and your classmates... . . . . In Japan, university tiU IS considered less strenuous ·than primary educauon. "There are many famous all-girl colleges in Japan where students are more worried about fashion and restaurants than studying," said Ohwalci. F ood in fact , turned out to be the leas; popular aspect of the United States, and the dissatisfaction was invariably associated with fast food . "There are a lot of McDonald's, Burger King, and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in Japan, but I couldn' stand . to eat it every day. I don' understand how some people can eat fast food for dinner " said Ohwaki. Jga,;a cited the speed with which Americans cook their meaJs . .. Amencans can cook in 30 minutes! The food is not attractive. A good Japanese meal talces hours to cook. .. Farias made a similar distinction between "good food" and fast food . "If you don' have time to cook, then you have to eat fast food. But I do like American cooking when people give themselves time to prepare a good meal - on hotidays, for example. I like Thanksgiving pies." After all is said and done, are the problems and adjustments of studying English at UB. worthwhile? Farias ~ so. "I believe that you suffer 1~ if you are clear about what you want and what is in your future. It is important to know why you are suffering bore. "You un<!erstand your own culture more when you study here, but you also understand more about-GU!ture itself, that people thousands of miles away have the same problems, of love, and friends, and the future." 4D �February 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 16 Brain studies Research blends behavior & '?iology By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD "A Rep0f1er StaH nothcr brain stem experiment?.. asks the screen of the computer terminal in one of the electro-physiological labs of the Division of DevelopmcntaJ and Behi..tvioral Neurosciences. The division is pan of U B"s Dcpanmcnt of Neurology. Janet Shucard. a research instructor in neurology and graduate student in clinical psychology, decides to run another 1rial and types in ••yes. ··A diffuse ba nd of tiny green dots appears in a graph on the terminal screen . Out of thi s band a se ries of jagged peaks begins to appear. "Those peaks represent the different areas of the brain stem. as the response of the patient to the auditory stimulus moves up to the cortex ," explains Janet's husband David Sh ucard . Ph.D .. director of the division and professor of neurology and pediatrics at the School of Medic ine and Biomedical Sciences. A grainy. black and white image of the so urce of the peaks can be seen in the video monitor that rests on top of the terminal - a sleeping baby wearing a riny deer rode cap and headphones. The actual baby, who is being prese nted with the auditory stimulus (a rapid series of clicking noises) through the headphones. lies on hi s mother's lap in a darkened room adjacent to the lab. He has been "sedated" for the experiment with a bottle of milk . The brain stem recording is one of the more basic electrophysiological procedures used in the division's various research projects. All of these projects are co ncerned with the link between the developing physiology of the brain and cognitive behavior.

According to Schachter, the division ·s yoking together of behavioral concerns with biological ones in the study of cognitive development is rather unique. .. Neuropsychological research methods and EEG (elcctroencephaJography - a means of measuring the electrical activity of the brain through scalp recordings) are housed under the same roof. This makes it easy to draw comparisons that assess the same organ (the brain). Usually ncuropsychologists and ncurophysi,Qlo gists don ' t read each other's lite rature." The division has only been situ ated in Buffalo for about two years. Previously, it was located at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and National Jewish Hospital in Denver. ln Denver in the early 70s. David and Janet Shucard began the first of the studies linking brain physiology to behavior. "We starteo with adults, look ing at the lateralization (the assignment of a n intellectual function to the left or right hemisphere of the brain) of diffe[l:nt cognitive functions and the associated brain activity," said Janet Shucard . T he work took on a developmental slant, she went ~ on, when .. we decided to look at young (three-monthold) babies to sec whether or not these cognitive functions might eJlist at birth rather than developing later. "This yoking together of behavioral concerns with biological ones in the study of cognitive development is rather unique." "We had them listen to st ories and music over ear phones. What we found, rather than the lateraliz.ation that adults show (in whom language processing ge ne rally occ urs in the left hemisphere of the brain. the processing of music or pattern type stimuli in the right) were seJl differences. Females consistently had a left hemispheric response to any kind of stimuli - musical or verbal - while males consistently had a right hemispheric response. "At six months of age females sta rted to show more of an ad ult type (assymetric) pattern of brain response while males stayed the same. The fact that males appear .. to mature more slowly than females" could. said Janet Shucard. make them "more vulnerable to different insults." (An insuJt is any stress or injury that interferes with the development of the nervous system.) Such insults could disturb the development of the functional organization of the brain. It is theorized that disturbances in this development could be linked to learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Disturbances in the development of the functional organization of the brain could also explain why babies who are born prematurely and as a result have suffered such insults as asphyxia, hyperbilirubinemia, and intravenicuJar hemorrhaging, show a high incidence of language disorders. T he Shucards hypothesized that as a result of such disturbance. premature babies ~would show different pat-' terns than normal babies in development of (neurophysiological) responses to musical and verbal stimuli." This hypothesis generated a longitudinal • . Jll!dY pf .a,bq11~ 40 normal and prema!ure babies. According to David Shucard , "in terms of tracking these children (who arc at a high risk for developing learning disabilities). there"s been very little ofthis kind of work done. A lot of studies havt looked at the psycho-social aspect. but not at biological development." Although the study was interrupted by the move from Denver to Buffalo, Janet Sbucard said that they did ftnd ~a delay in expressive language (the term describes both the verbal and nonverbal attempts of the baby to communicate) as opposed to the normal babies who were used as a control group." M ore recently , the Shucards have begun to look at the effects of lead on the develop ment of the brain and its functions . According o a preliminary st ud y done for the project, about 60 per cent of the infants born at Childrcn"s Hospital showed measurable amounts of lead in their blood at birth. What happens. David Shucard explained , "is that lead stored in the mother"s bones (from paint chips she ate as a child· or other environmental sources) leaves during pregnancy and migrates to the fetus." which basically acts as ..a sink .... According to ~hucard, some of the lead which migrates to the developing fetus "is stored in areas of the brain responsible for memory." And in fact , he went on, studies .. have linked the exposure to lead in young children with lowered IQs and learning disabilities." Furthermore, the amount of lead that could precipitate such problems in infants could be very small, even within the range of what would be considered acceptable for older children and adults. According to David Shucard, the lead problem has "a lot of social and political implications." A major source of high blood lead levels is interior and exterior lead-based paint, which is found chiefly in older buildings in poorer areas. The children who grow up in these areas could get perhaps ~w points knocked off their IQs because they get exposed to lead. It looks like a genetic problem and it isn,." And because lead is stored in the bones, this talc of intellectual deprivation perpetuates itself. Said Shucard, ~even if the mothen get out of the ghetto, th;y transm.inDe lead to their olispnoa.• . . . • . • · �February 2, 1989 Volume 20, No. 16 R ight now David Shucard and his research group are writing grant applications to get funds for further research. "Using the measures we've been working on in the lab while trying to control for socio-economic status and all the other variables, we hope to get a finer description of the developmental problems of these kids." Other current research being conducted by the division involves the effects of hormone's on brain development. One of the projects looks at children who are Growth Hormone deficient. These children, said Richard Clopper, while "they have normal proportions, are below the flfth percentile in height and show a delay in reaching puberty. They tend to be retained in school and to need resource room help more often." The study being done on the children combines, he went on, .. previously estalr lisbed neuropsychological testing methods (such as the Wexler IQ test) with Dr. Shucard 's electrophysiological work . We're the first to put the two - neurophysiological indicators and behavioral (neuropsychological) indicators together." A nother study on the effect of hormones on brain development is being conducted on girls with Turner's yndrome. Girls born with Turner's Syndrome lack one X chromosorqe, a , deficiency which results in a lack of the :sex hormones necessary for normal development. While these girls generally possess normal intelligence or better, they often have "difficulties performing visualspatia! activities," said Mark Schachter. The stud y of the Turner girls, according to Schachter, involves extensive neurophysiological testing. Each s ubj ect will Several new programs focus on teaching imponant.

The extent of training varies from department to department, adds Henderson. Millard Fillmore College, the "night sc hool " at UB, offers a special training course for teaching assistants. And some academic departments. such as Philoso phy, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology and Communications, have specialized training. But other departments are without the facilities to sufficiently train teaching assistants, Schneider and Henderson say. "There are some things about teaching you can tackle on a University-wide basis." such as grading and exams, Henderson says, adding that is one reason her office produces the teaching assistant handbook . ocial Sciences took this approach in developing a pilot program to service all teaching assistants in the Faculty, says Schneider. who worked with Henderson in using the Faculty Development Workshop as a model. The result was a four-day workshop last August that dealt with generic problem areas ranging from lecture style to management of exams and grades. "I don\ pretend that one four-day workshop is sufficient" to train teaching assistants, he says. Lool<ing beyond the generic workshop, which he would like to offer at least once a year, Schneider said he wo uld like to see shoner modular workshops throughout the semester S G be given an extensive battery of behavioral tests assessing things like *IQ, memory in different modalities (verbal, visual, and tactile), personality, and reasoni ng and thinking skills. The data from the psyChological testing will be compared to the electrophysiological measures of the girls obtained as they perfor m visual-spatial tasks . "Already," said Schachter, "we've found interesting connections between cortical brain activity and the i ntelligence profiles." n addition to the various projects already under way, the Shucards and Brian Rogers will soon begin another study that will look at the development of babies born at Children's Hospital with documented brain damage. "Results of electrophysiological testing done on the babies at three months of age will be compared with their lesions," said David Shucard. The children's development will then be followed for two years, "at the end of which we11 do exteavve testing." While the Division's projects might seem numerous and diverse, Shucard emphasized that all the projects fit together "in terms of their theoretical basis. We're interested in the development of the brain and the relation of that development to cognitive behavior. Development is our main interest."

Superconductivity Institute approves 31 awards he New York State Institute on Superconduct ivity (NYSIS ), headquartered here, recently approved 3 1 awards fo r research projects. According to Robert S. Hamilton, Ph.D., associate director of the Institute, 63 applications for fund ing were received. Sixteen of the 31 awards will go to UB researchers. The remaining 15 will fund superconductivity research projects at the following New York un i· versities and businesses: Alfred Uni versity, CVC Products, Inc., Columbia T Uni versity, Cornell University, Inter- magnetics General Corp., Polytechnic University, Rensselaer Polytechnic lnsti· tute, SUNY-Albany, SUNY College at Oneonta, SUNY-Stony Brook, and the University of Rochester. Since being established in June 1987 through the efforts of State Assembly· man William Hoyt, the New York State Legislature, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the center's mandate has been to become "a- leader in apP..Iied research in superconductivity.'" "NYSIS has made significant progress in fulfilling this goa~" says Assembly· man Hoyt. "Those of us .involved with its initial appropriation envision NYSIS as playing an impoi'tant role in the technological and economic growth of the State and the nation." David Shaw, Ph.D., executive direc· tor of the Institute, commented on NYSIS's progress. "We have worked toward s init iating programs which address innovative techniques in the preparation of energy-conserving tech· nologies, the stud y of their ·properties, the development of the theory by which they operate, and their application to industrial a nd commercial processes, ... he said. To achieve these objectives, NYSIS bas established the Superconductivity Research Program which...is supporting the 31 selected projects from a portion of a S2.2 million grant allocated for research and development by the State Legislature. The Industrial Supe rconductivity Research Consortium is NYSIS's initia· tive to combine these research programs with active industrial panicipation. This · group of industry leaders will fund research as well as act as the technology transfer conduit to accelerate the commercialization of superconductivity in the State. This program is expected to begin in February. The final aspect of NYSIS's plan is to expand a Superconductivity Characterization and Fabrication Facility on the UB campus. This facility houses the speciali.u:d equipment necessary for analyzing, characterizing, and fabricating high temperature superconducting materials. It is open to researchen throughout the State and the country. The 16 projects at UB are: "Two Approaches for Fabricating Superconducting Fibers," Ralph T. Yang; "Piasma-Assjsted Laser Deposition of ~uperconducting Thin 'films and Applications," Hoi.Sing Kwok; "Tailoring of Grain Boundaries in High Temperature Oxide Superconductors," T .K.

This allowed for fixed days identified by a recurring date. The: celebration of anniversaries is also ancient, continuing in strength today. Stronger, in fact, th ere being more anniversaries. As proof. the Reporter spoke with se veral UB faculty about anniversaries to be celebrated in 1989 that they personally co nsider important. L unlikely in his time. He was also said to have given up his five wives and 800 concubines, opting for monogamous fidelity to his new Christian bride. A millennium later, the contrasts~ obvious enough. "Religio~opaganda " is Russ•an Chns JLanity - maybe 1001. 1,000 Years of Christianity in Russia Depending on your choice of historian. Christianity in the land of Russia is either 1,000 or 1,001 years old in 1989. According to Emily Tall, associate professor of Russian, the traditional date marking the adoption of Christianity is 988, thus last year's measured celebration of the millennium. Other scholars disagree with the date, though few contest the basic account given in the Primary important Chronicle medieval Russian historical text). It says there that Christianity wai established by Vladimir I, a Scandinavian prince of Kiev. Courted by Jewish Khazar.~, Muslim Bulgars, and Latin Christians, Vladimir embraced tbe latter after the return of his ambassadors from Constantinople. They reported that they thought themselves in heaven amid the splendor of the Hagia Sophia. Scholars are quick to un'derline the political, (an economic, and military advantages that came of Vladimir's conversion and marriage to the ilaugbter of the Byzantine Emperor, Tall says. Still, he appeared sincere in his new faith.._ destroying statues to the local gods and having his people baptized in the Dnieper lOver. Legend says Vladimir was induced to abolish capital punishment, extremely still forbidden. The Russian Orthodox Church still cooperates with the government in exchange for small freedoms . Nevertheless. Tall perceives a gradual change. She says that she witnessed small but surprising religious ad vances du ri ng her visi t to R uss ia last year. .. Concerts, exhibits, a nd lectu res in honor of the millennium, ren ovati on of the monasteries - they arc authorized because the I ,000 years of Christianity are closely tied to I ,000 years of Russian culture. In fact, that was the title of a specific exhibit," she recalled. Tall expectS the established pattern of concession and cooperation to continue, but also anticipates a rising interest in religion.

Orville T . Murph y. UB professor of history, plans to attend th is summer's bicentennial festivities co mmemorating the sack of the Basti lle ... Almost nothing approaches it as far as secular ceremony. ·· he ex plains. Murphy says much has changed in France since the ce ntennial anniversary of 1889, mai ntaining that "most citizens now accept the revolution and the political tendencies it represents. There is less opposition from the right and less from the left. Now both monarchists and communists see it as part of their own tradition ... Of course that doesn' mean that there is anything approaching agreement on the causes and consequenoes of the revolution. Opinion is sharply divided into two "not always compatible factions. " Some believe that the revolution was intended to free the individual from the arbitrariness of the state a nd society and from a rigid morality. Others believe it was a genuine attempt to tfnd~r social justice. '-'nie problem is especially acute within the historical field, leading scholars to reexamine their methods of research. Some take a different approach and question the relevance of the revolution to the politics of modern France. Still, Murph y concludes, ""whatever else separates the French, ceremony brings them together. They definitel y recognize its value in a way maAy countries do not. ..

If so , July 14, 1789 (Bastille Day), is probabl y the "hardest'' anniversary to be celebrated this year, while the classic film year of 1939 is relatively soft as ann iversaries go. U B Professor of Media Study Brian Henderson suggests several ""significant silver screen golden anniversaries: 'G.one with the Wind,' 'The Wizard of Oz,' 'Stagecoach,' 'The Rules of the Game': they can only be called classic." He adds: "Though I've never personally been a fan, 'Gone with the Wind' is one of the most enduring films of all time." Its ultimate significance? "David 0 . Mane AniOtnelle Bast1/le Day herakje(j her demLSe as well a nimation. wi th out direct progeny." ··oz .. met with universal praise for the individual achievement and the teamwork of all involved from the make-up artists to the director Victor Aeming. "Incidentally," Henderson goes Gn, .. Fleming won no awardS for 'The Wizard of Oz' but took best director for his work in 'Gone with the Wind.' Perhaps because they share a director, there are elements of endurance and nostalgia in both films. "In fact, not only are both films full of internal nostalgia, but their audienoes are nostalgic for the films themselves, for the pre-war moods of reco~ry and progress." The same holds for "Stagecoach," which reestablished the Western amid late 1930s national optimism. "It set up the postwar Western, providing a standard for the era. The genre was comparatively weak at the timC.. as it was in the '20s, as it is now in the '80s, but it always comes back. John Ford won the New York Film Critics award for best director that year and John Wayne became a star." Henderson adds " Rules of the Game" to the list of 1939 movie classics . .. A s Renoi r himself said, it's a 'war film' full of prophetic allusions to the coming connict. Unlike the American films, 'Rules of the Game' received neither popular nor critical approval. ltH>riginal audiences booed •See-page �.

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

Cuomo's budget provides some- good news-for the -t1ni¥'_-. ~. Sample is disappointed by overall cuts, but rl welcomes Governor's 'straightforward' approach SUNY's allocation is being reduced $47 million after being increased over the present year Trustees have the authority to determine where and how to distribute cuts around the. system · By ANN WHITCHER Repone< StaH ov. Cuomo's executive budget has some good news for UB. Most notably, there is $2.5 million for the Earthquake Center. And while President Sample voiced disappointment over the lai;k of requested funding for UB's teaching hospitals, a $1.5 million reduction in the tu~tion waiver budget, and other setbacks, he welcomed the stratghtforward approach of the budget announced by Cuomo Jan. 17. The 1989-90 budget contains $207.9 million for UB, up $12.4 million from 1988-89. G "I like the philosophy." Sample told the UB Council last week. "lbe budget document recognizes SUNY 's basic n.Ws. It says you have a contractual . obligation for negotiated salary increases. •And I as the governor am recommending that you have the money to pay for them.' "Then at the end of the budget, the governor said, 'look we have a problem, we have a shortfall, and SUNY's going to bave to take its share of the shortfall. And SUNY's share of the shortfall is $47 million.'" I n an in terview, Vice President for University Services Robert Wagner said the budget "provides to SUNY and UB funding that had been requested for ongoing costs. It fully funds salary inc~ases and it annualizes tbe cost of last year's inc~." He added: "It provides tbe additional OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) funding that the system had requested for supplies, library acquisitions, etc. It provides some programmatic funding, the largest being the SS million for third- • see Cuomo budget page 2 �J•nu•ry 26, 1989 Volume 20, No. 15 Cuomo's budget: some good news ~ year funding of the GRI (Graduate Research Initiative)." Other program requests, such as $1 million in teaching hospital support for UB, were not included. Said Sample: "There wasn' in this budget the kind of s moke and mirrors . .. to · make it look as though it was larger than it was. They (the governor and the Division of the Budget) are honest people: ' We recogn~. SUNY, what you need to conti nue in your basic operations, a nd we 're recommending that. But we're saying that at some point, you have to cut $47 million, not because you're fat, but because we have a budget shortfall. 'I think that 's very reasonable. .. Moreover. it gives the Trustees, the chancellor and the presidents complete flexibilit y in dealing (with the situation)." W agncr explai ned that the $47 million lump sum adjustment is to be made to the new base budget, th at is the budget for 1989-90. "So the total budget. in dolla r terms is significantly larger than the total budget is this year. This ($47 million cut) is a reduction alter the State has provided fo r the ongoing increases . ... The total budget after you take the $47 million o ut is still up appreciably in dollar terms from the current year's budget. What the y're providing as increases grea tty exceeds S47 million. ''The iss ue is th at most if not all of tha t add it io nal funding is either co ntractually req uired or needed to meet what we anticipate to be the increased costs of goods and ~c rv ic cs this year . -so hoW the sys tem addresses th e $47 milli o n reduction becomes a crucial question , as it moves through the executive budget process to the financial plan that we11 do in the spring," said Wagner. Not only is the pic larger for 1989-90, but the way the pic is produced has changed, too. SUNY's "income offset" portion of the SUNY budget (the State University's own income, achieved primarily through tuition and fees) was increased by $160.6 million, on the basis "It is expected that the trustees will distribute cuts in line with SUNY's priorities, not across-the-board." that SUNY would refinance some of its bonds and take other measures such as esta blishing a "consistent system-wide University parking fee policy." Correspondingly, Sta~ax support for the SUNY budget wlls-decreascd by $124.8 million. Wagner explained : "DOB (the Divisio n of the Budget) hai raised the amount of money we ourselves are going to provide to support the University. So the actual amount of S tate money being provided will ,be less. . .Now there is inco me from ourselves from this bond refi nancing that's helping to pay for the ope rat ion of the University."' Other budget highlights: 8 Capital funding for the design of the new Medic al• School building was included. " I'm just delighted about that," Sample told the Council. 8 The S5 million to fund the third year of the GRI SUNY-wide is "very good news," said Sample . No matter how tough the budget situa1ion. he said, "the GRI is receiving very high priori1y from the State of New York." Sample said his "enthusiasm about the governor's supporting G R I is for reaso ns tl!at go beyond self-interest. I real ly do think. it's crucial. . .. To cut that program off at the ground level would have been terrible."' • The executive budget also co ntains more mone y for the undergradu ate minorities honors sc holarships program . Sample said this is an "enormously successful program S tate-wide'' with UB the leading participant. 8 As for the $2.5 million recommendation for the Earthquake Center (contained in the Science and Technology budget), Sample said "words would no1 describe my happiness about this." 8 Also provided is $800,000 needed for a lease payment increase under the current agreement with Er ie Count y Medical Center. ' 8 The budget calls fo r S I million 10 support toxic waste research here. Thi~. too, is contained in the Science and Technology budget. Sample !Old th e Council he was "delig hted " by its inclusion. • The Science and T cchnology budget also co nta ins conrin ued funding for the Ce nter for Advanced Tech no logy Continued from Page 1 (CAT- HIDI). 8 There is also some SUST A (Sial< University Supplemental Tuition A;s 151 • ancc) for UB law students. A "tough " thing, Sample said. I> the further reduction by $1.5 million 10 the 1u 1• tion waiver appropriation Also problem. atic is the lack of a tuition tn c rca~c proposal. ..The govern or hru. mad e 11 clear he doesn't want a tuition mcrea!\c: said Sample. ow will the $47 mill ion cu1 be: assigned?

News Bureau StaH F or the first time in their histories, UB and the Studio Arena Theater have signed an aflilia· tion agreement that outlines specific ways in which both institutions intend to assist one another in the pursuit of their theatre performance and educational missions. UB President Steven B. Sample and Richard E. Heath. pr~ident of the Studio Arena Board of Trustees, signed the agreement Mond ay on the Nor th Campus. In signing the agreement, Sample said . that its stipulations are in keeping with the recently adop ted strategic plan for the Studi o Arena, which seeks to cultivate .. closer ties with Western New York. university/ college communities. " "for our pan." said Sample, "it should be noted that some of the finest uni versity theatre departments in the nation have close affiliation agreements with regional professional theatres." He named the Un iversity of Missouri, the University of North Carolina, and Yale as examples. "In each of these cases, the decision to cooperate in the accomplish ment of si milar goals has proven to be a rewarding experience for both the universi ty and the regional theatre." he said , .. and we have every reason to look forward to an enriching and satisfying a ffilia tion with the Studio Arena . Needless to say, Western New York audiences will benefit as much as will our faculty, staff and students ... B President Sample and Richard E. n accordance with the agreemen t, UB wiU: • help to market Studio Arena season tickets to faculty. staff and students: • help to advertise the Studio Arena season; • appoint Studi~ena's managing director, artisti c director. assistant artistic director. dramaturge and other personnel to the Universi t y's adjunct faculty; • offer University library, recreational, and other privileges to Studio Arena employees: • arrange for faculty from several departments to offer pre- or postproduction lectures and discussions of Studio Arena plays; and I Heath sign historic pact between campus and PfOiessional theatre company. • offer special assis tance to the Studio Arena in voice coaching._ choreography, production research. etc .• through the • Department of Theatre and Dance.

The agreement in no way alters the legal, fiSCal , or administrative independence of either party and creates no financial obligati on on the part of eithe r party, the tex t of the affiliation pact points out.

It would he better. Alutto proposed, to allow enterprises to bid for the services of underused labor by facilitating overall worker mobility, which is the position taken during the recently completed 13th Party Congress. In fact , he noted , such between-enterprise recruitment is now under way and several UB graduates have changed employing organizations. ne specific policy gives foreigninvested .enterprises the authority to 0 hire Chinese employees directly. and instructs Cbinese enterprises to sup)>on "The reintroduction of graduates to China and their old work units is a delicate process, politically & socially. " this type of worker/ manager mobility. "In the case of trained managers, including our program graduates, there is some evidence this policy is being actively implemented," Alutto said . He also said that Chinese M.B.A.s have noted that their superiors are not as supportive as they would wish. But this reaction is not uncommon among new American M.B.A.s, he noted . And in China, where senio rity traditionally bas been more imponant than ability in determining job status, "this lack of encouragement is to be expected ... Administrators of the UB program and other advanced training programs have cautioned returning managers that their success will not he determ ined simply by their new technical_skills. "Management in any culture is a political process in which the use of interpersonal skills leads to the establishment of Hong Hu, secrelary general.

"The experiences of the first two classes of Chinese M.B.A. graduates sho uld be considered within the context of a pioneering effon that suppons the self~etermined but revolutio nary economic and political changes within China. The objective is to have the new managers serve as change agents and facilitators of commercial cooperation between China and the United States," he said. " II is clear that the Wes t should expect China·s assimilation of new management technologies, including the use of M. B.A.s to be characterized by different rates of progress as resistance is encoun. tered and new strategies identified to accommodate China•s uniqu e social and political system." he US-China M.B.A. program was established under terms of an agreemcmt signed in 1984 by representatives of the U.S. and Chinese governments and witnessed by President Reagan. It is the only M.B.A. program in China sponsored on a government-togove rnment basis by the U.S. Commerce Department and the Chinese State Commission for Restructuring the Economic Systems, and the only program sanctioned by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Busin"ess, the major accrediting agency for business schools. The students, most of whom are middle managers in China, spend the first two-and-<>ne-balf years of the program studying at the National Center at Dalian. The final semester is •pent at Buffalo, with students taking course. and participating in full-time internships at a variety of companies in WeStern New York and across the country.

Doty. "It has to do with the eyebrows, I think." Ed Doty retires from UB That may ex plain the hard -as-nails reputation of Doty, who recentl y retired after 20 year.; as vice president for finance and management. Another explanation might be the unpopular tasks he's bad to field . Doty was in charge of the budget during the recession, campus police during the 1970 riots, and parking when commuters c~ained there was none. Doty's fir.ot big challenge at UB came soon after be started . He was attending a meeting in California when he got a call from one of the assistants of then· President Martin Meyer.;on asking who was in charge of the campus police. Doty said he didn't know. Ten minutes later. Doty got another call informing him that he was in charge . So Doty asked what prompted the q uesti on. ""' We've bc:en having so me classroom takeover.;," the assistant replied . "We just wond ered who was responsible." No body lmew a nything about college unrest or how the Univer.;ity should handle violence, Doiy said . A university is not like an industrial plant. You can't put a fe nce around it and post a guard at the gate. Even if yo u did. how would yo u know whom to let in? Many of the people creating the disruptions were not VB st udents, but a great many of them were. People called Dot y at all ho ur.; of the day and night to ~eep him informed of what was happening, but that didn't produce a n answer to what should be done, he pointed out. The Buffalo Police were called in - an action that many say exacerbated the si tuation. On the other hand, it could h~ve been worse without them , Doty SOld. After 20 years, he's shedding a hard-as-nails reputation as vice president for finance and management in order to give in to a heretofore 'repressed lazy streak.' The major problem wasn't property damage, although it measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, he sa1d . The problem was that the University simply wasn't conducting classes. .. The real cost was in the absence of teachers from classroo ms, and the absence of students "from classrooms " Doty said. "We were paying everybody\ salanes, but we were not getting much teaching done. Or learning. The Jtids were being short-changed in their educations. That was the real cost." With the Buffalo PoEoe on campus, and after they left, at least U B was conducting classes, he noted. Before the police arrived, there were a lot of disruptions and classes stopped for four five, or six dayS""at a time. ' "So I think that was a good decision " Doty said. ' His advice to administrators is to think over the situation carefully and avoid acting quickly. But once an action is taken, carry the action through to its logical conclusion. " I thin~ we learned that yo u should be very careful with what yo u say you're gomg to do," he noted. " But having said II, you should do it. "The greatest problem we faced was the indecision that was clearly evident to others, and saying th ings that we didn't mean." A less violent but equally controver.;ial ISSue Doty has handled is parking . "It's been my source of power " h~ 'JO~ed . "Par~ing is everybody's fa~orite subject to complain about. wherever you are." . F~strated commuters found no solace '"hiS claim that UB's parlting situation is m~ch better than at any other college or umvemty m the United States. A great number of unive rsities don't let freshmen park o n campus, he noted. Some woo 't even allow sophomores to park on campus. At Stony Brook everybody has to par k a mile away and get bused . "Knowing (th at parking a t U B is) relall~ely good made it easier to take the sometlmes. unflatte ring comments about how .!'ark1ng was being handled," he srud. but there· were a few times whe ' t got under my skin. .. nI p ro ba bl y the bigges t so urce of complaints directed to a business officer IS the budget. " I'm rather disappointed that over the many years that I've been here continue to think that I was the ~:~r~~ the money," Doty said, "because I really wasn't. The president is the one with the money. I was the one who kept the boo~s . · "I tried awfully hard over the years to empbasiu that budget decisions "started with the president and were vested in th e vice presidents and the other line managers." But many of those line managers were unwilling to say that they had mad e a budget decision that somebody didn\ like. . •"!he easy answer was, 'Ed Doty did It .· he said . " Or Albany, good old avaJiable Albany." "It was one of those things that seem to go with the job," Doty said. "Aim oSI all of the business officers 1 know around the country seem to get the same tag hu ng on them. It's the accepted black hat that goes with the job of business officer." While some people at UB have complained about tight budgets, Dot y says we've done well, even during the recession. "Ever since I've been at the Universit y. I've been amazed at bow well funded i1 was, and how well funded it continues to be," he said. "And even during th ose periods when we were all gnashing our teeth and beating our breasts and complaining about the starvation of the organizatiOii, it still was avery, very well funded organization." During the 70s, UB dido l get all of �January 26, 1989 Volume 20, No. 15 For the Record the (un<ting it asked for. But it dido\ lay off employees, even though almost every company in Buffalo had to, sometimes in groups of I00 or more. "So knowing what the rest of the world was like made it easier to accept whatever accusations came my way, ... he said. "We pay people very well. We don\ lay people off. We give them a lot of job security. " What we also do , I'm afraid, is give them so much job sec urit y and so much pay that they often get complacent. Many here are too co mpl acent and too co mfo rtable in their jobs. And that 's bad for people in the long run . "People should be challenged most of thei r lives and people should be reaching most of their lives . I think to o many of ou r people don\ reach." T be Univer.;ity is really a second career for Ooty. After having spent about 25 years working in the defense or weaponry field , he decid ed it was time fo r a change. He had started out with studies at Dartmouth, but couldn \ decide what he wanted to major in his tory, economics, English, or mathematics. These were the Depression years and be had to drop out of college between his junior and senior years and wort at an ordnance plant for a year. He finall y received his A.B. in business administrati on in 1942, along with Phi Beta Kappa key. In 1943, he went into the Army and was se nt to Rutger.; to study electrical engi neering. After nine months, the Army sent him to Los Alamos, where the atomic bomb was being developed . "That was re a ll y the best run organization I've ever been part of," Ooty said . The objective of the project was clear cut, and there was a very deep fear that Germany would de ve lop atomic weapons first. He defend s the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiros h1ma and Nagasaki. Almost 200,000 were killed, but probably millions more, Japanese and Americans, would have died if the war had Cl!ntinued, he said . Ooty tells an eerie tale of how be was informed of the project at Los Alamos. When be arrived, his boss sent him to the library to get a certain book on nuclear physics , wrillen by Pollard and Davidson. On its own, he claims, the book flopped open to the page that discussed the explosive potential of nuclear energy. .. 1" Everybody at Los Alamos who worked in the Technical Area knew what ''Doty was in charge of the budget during the recession, campus police during the 1970 riots, · and parking when commuters said , there was none. was going on there, Ooty said. "Or. Oppenheimer ran that laboratory, he said, ' without secrets in the perimeter of tbe Technical Area'," Ooty related . "I'm quite convinced thai the open communication gre3.tly contributed to the rapid develo pment of the weapon." The colloquia that were held at Los Alamos were open to everyone, not just the scientists, he related. Even Ooty, who was in charge of purchasing and warehousing for the cbemistry/ metallurgy divisio n, was allowed to attend, though the topics "were usually over my head." 'rhe people at Los Alamos couldn\ get off base much, but they had a little· theatre group and Ooty became president. It was a great way to meet the WAQ, and female scientists, he noted . The plays were pretty good, too. " O f course, we had ve ry little competition and that made it easy to <::t!?.ok good," he said with a laugh. He also remember.; getting extra use out of the heavy platinum crucibles he had to order for the scientists. " One of the greater enjoyments of life was to sit in my office - I bad an offi<;e - with my friends on a Saturday night and drink very cheap whiskey out of these very expensive crucibles," be remembers. "The whiskey was really cheap." ben Doty was se nt to Los Alam os. most of his unit from Rutgers was se nt to the 104th Infant ry Division. Every day, he would read about them in the Denver Post. "A nd I'd sit in my bun k and, say 'There but for the grace of God ,' " Ooty said quiet ly. The men in that divisi on landed at Normandy on 0-0ay plus one. They suffered 184 per cent casualties - they'd get wounded, get patched up , and get wounded again. "I was very, very fortunate," Ooty sa id . " Bein g a t Los Alamos was interesting and exciting, and not being shot at was a blessing. I don\ think I've ever been hypocritical enough to have said ' Gee, t wish I'd had combat experience,' because I'm glad I dido\." Ooty left the Army in 1946. He married the former Ruth VanNess in Santa Fe and stayed at Los Alamos as per.;onnel manager until 1951. He went to work as personnel manager for a company that made chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, such as Chlordane. AU have since been banned or are in the process of being banned. "We used to get glowing letters from Iran, Iraq, and India on bow !bey fmally had something tostop tiieTocusts-;-" he said. "The trouble was, it stopped other things, too." The long-lasiing-iiisecticides get into the water and plants, Ooty explained. W I n 1953, Ooty became personnel manager at Sylvania's Atomic Energy Division. He held that position with other military electronics divisions at Sylvania until 1960. He spent a year as manager of new products development, then was assistant general manager of Sylvania Electronics Systems' Eastern Division. In 1966, he had moved up to be vice president and general manager of the Central Division. In 1968, he accepted the vice presidency at UB after a chance meeting on an airplane with then-President Martin Meyer.;on, " I'd had a desire , really a plan, to get out of the armaments business, the military business , which I bad been in all of my life," Ooty said, "and get into something a little more peaceful. And a little more pro bono. " He figured he'd malke the job move as soon as he got his k.ids through college, but the opportunity at UB came about two years before that. Changing jobs dido\ re.quire as much financial sacrifice as he'd expected, and of cour.;e that made it a lot easier. Although he'd worked his way 'VB was really a second career for Doty. After having spent 25 .'years working in the defense field, he decided it was time for, a c h ange. .. .

" So they dido\. So there,'' he said, with a small laugh. f he had stayed with Sylvania, his options would have been limited, Ooty said. He was 48 years old a nd could have stayed in the sa me job until he retired . Eve n worse , he co uld have been fired . " But wor.;t of all, I could have been transferred to New York City!" he said. He likes Buffalo, a nice comfortable town th at's just big eno ugh to get your arms around, be said, borrowing a quote. It has everything he and his wife need in a big city, and you can get there in 20 minutes. And he prefers it to the west. ... We're native easterners," Doty said. " Our love for pastels couldn 't quite overcome our enjoyment of the deep green and the water that we have around here." Now that he's retired , Ooty plans to live in this area, though be and his wife want to travel - to Europe, South America, China. He also wants to do a lot of reading. He doesn \ expect to run out of things to do. His wife doesn\ believe him, but "I know I have a big lazy streak I've repressed all these years," Ooty said. He's certain he won't do any k.ind of consulting work. "If I wanted to do that, I could stay right here," be said: "I don\ want to do anything that looks like the work I've been doing. If I get too restless, there's always plenty of volunteer work to do." Looking back at his UB career, Ooty remembers the people. What he liked best was the interaction with the students, which he admits is peculiar for a business officer: "I've been blessed with the people I've been able to work with," be said.

COS's would not give material relief si nce. in G uneen 's thinkin g, .. the ind isc riminate givi ng" of material relief was the main cause of poverty. What the Charity Organizationists really meant to do. therefore, was to abolish material assistance. and in its stead, "coordinate, investigate. and counsel. '"' Intellect ua l leadership in the COS movement q uickly swung from Buffalo to New York as Gurteen left St. Paul"s for a pastorship in Toledo. Josephine movement (leading to the Family Services Association of America) and the Buffalo society became the Family Services Society; now, following a merger, Child and Family Services. The notion of federated fund-raisi ng was first put into act ion by the cos·s. including Buffalo"s Federation of Charities and Social Service Agencies. The United Ways of America trace thei r root\ to Denver and a group of four clergy. The co nnectio ns between the Unit ed Ways and these earlier federated fund-raising move ments need to be funher explored , but it is clear that the United Ways did not inve nt federated fund-raising. despite official agency claims to the contrary. The idea had certainly been implemented by the COS move ment prior to the meeting of th e Denver clergy. Beca use the Charity Organization Societies were a mai n sou rce in th e develo pment of social work. and Buffalo developed the first of these. social wo r k a re firmly set in Lond on.

I th o ught lookmg inw th1 s question was a wo ndnful o pportunit y to be an ama teur historian and, since I am relativel y new to Buffa lo . a chance to explore a bit o f local history. I hope you enjoy the rcsuh s of my snooping. The Charity Organization Societies II social welfare historians give Buffalo credit for having established th e first American Charity Organi1.ation Society. Following the depressio n of 1873, S. Humphreys Gurteen. assistant to the: pastor of St. Paul"s Episcopal Chun:h, preached a se ri es of sermons entitled .. Phases of Charity." Drawing on his expe riences as a participant in the London (England) COS (founded in 1869) and in a settlement with Edward Denniso n in London's West End, Gurteen went about frightening his parishioners by sermonizing that it was Ro[De's indiscriminate relief policies which became the .. fatal factor .. in the downfall of the empire. Unless America changed her ways, warned Gurteen, she. too. would fall. Gurteen said that pauperism has two roots: "a terrible chasm already existing between tbe rich and poor" and charity. Charity itself was the main cause of poverty. In 1877, Gurteen persuaded a group of Buffalo businessmen to start the first American Charity Organization Society. Gurteen wrote the Handbook o/ Charity Organization which helped to establish, in rapid succession, 18 additional COS's within five years of the founding of the Buffalo COS. In 25 years, 170 societies had been establisned . Gurteen's attitudes about poverty were transmitted along with his A Shaw Lowell. a brilliant reformer from an abolitionist family, who shared Gurteen's campaign against material assistance, took up the directorship of the N.,.. York society. Lowell thought her campaign against outdoor relief and for organized friendly visiting was a radical approach since "poverty was wrong, unnatural and evil,'"' the result of low wages. "Doles" would only retard ..energetic action .. necessary for poor people to extricate themselves from poverty. It was from lowell's COS that the first school of social work was formed, the New York School of Charities and Philanthropy, now the Columbia University School of Social Work. Mary Richmond , author of Social Diagnosis and What is Social Ca.r~work, the first major codification of social work practice, was a secretary (literally) of the New York Society in its early years. The Charity Organization movement gave rise to the family services there is credibility to the claim that Buffalo might well be the birthplace of American social work. Another major source was the social settlement movement . II The Social Settlements he story of Buffalo"s ftrst settlement, Westminster House, is very much the story of two unrelated Holmeses: Samuel Van Vranken Holmes, minister of Westminster P=byterian Church, and Emily S. Holmes, headworker. Samuel V. V. Holmes became pastor of that church around the time of tbe Panic of 1893 and the related depression. Rev. Dr. Holmes was an extraordinarily popular pastor under whose stewardship the membership of Westminster Church grew from 400 in 1893 to 1600 in 1932. T He would fill the Teck and Star Theaters between 1905 and 1927 with his -Theater Meetings. " Notables such as W.E.B. DuBois would speak at his church. Prior to arriving in Buffalo, Dr. Ho lmes had visi ted Toynbee Hall in London where he decided that should he have the opponu nity to establish such an institution in America, he would . J a ne Addams, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize ( 1931) for her work. preceded Holmes at Toynbee Ha ll a nd tra nsplanted the idea to Chicago. founding with Ellen Gates Star. the settlement known as Hull House. Toynbee Hall was the first of the university-based se ttlements. the residents being largely drawn from t.hc ranks of Oxford University graduates. The idea was that university people co uld learn from living among poor and immigrant people while at the same time. poor and immigrant people could learn from university people. Holmes' opportunity to implement the Toynbee Hall idea came when he arrived in Buffalo. Organizing the men of Westm inster Church int o the Westminster Club, Holmes then used the Club to fo und Westminster House in 1894. Under the: direction o f Emily Holmes, who sc:YVed Westminster House for so me 30 years, work was carried on by six resident associate co~ workers and by over 100 non-resident workers. Operating initially out of a rented cottage at 421 Monroe Street, Westminster House offered a choral society, classes in millinery. cooking. dressmaking. wood-<:atVing, clay molding, chair caning, and mechanical drawing. h later opened women's clubs. a branch of the public library. health services. and Westminster Camp in Fort Erie. By 1895 there were four cottages. But was it the second se ttlement? Sadly. for Buffalophiles. the answer is '"no ... The first American settlement patterned after T oynbee Ha ll was University Settlement in New York ( 1886), followed by Hull House in Chicago ( 1889). South End House in Boston (1892). and Lilinn Wald"s Henry Street Settlement ( 1893). Westminster House was founded at least a year later and since so man y settlements were being establis hed at the time, it is unlikely that it was even eighth . Andover House, in Boston, and Whittier House, in New Jersey, also predated Westminster House. Though it is difficult to claim " birthplace status" for the settlement movement, Buffalo was quick to get involved and to demonstrate leadership. Westmin.s.ter House received more than its share of national attention and held the =pect of important social observers. During the 1960s Westminister House merged with a settlement sponsored by tbe Buffalo Unitarians to form the Buffalo Federation of Neighborhood Centers. The Charity Organization Societies and the Settlements are tbe two major roots of social work. Since Buffalo bad the first Charity Organization Society and New York the second, and New York the first settlement and Buffalo a later one, l"d say that at thi< point the score was roughly tied with New York City. (The COS's are a far more important root of modern social work than are the settlements.) What tie breakers might there be? Let's lo61r' next at the development of child protective services, and the YMCA. �January 26, 1989 Volume 20, No. 15 Ill P rotcctivc se rvices for children have always been mainline social work . The protective services movement traces its roots to the dramatic case of Mary Ellen in 1875. involving a se verel y ab used child who was protected on the basis of a law protecting anima ls. This case led to the organi1ation of the New York (oops! ) Soc iety for the Prevention of C ruelt y to Ch1ldrcn 1n that same ye ar. Very soon . !>CYe ral Ci ties. including Buffalo, estab~ hed "child rescue" age ncies. so metimes as se parate voiuntary agcnc1cs. so metimes as subdivisio ns of agencie s which so ught to protect amma ls as well as children. So as in th e case of the settlements. Huffalo was in the first group , but New York developed the first genuine a ru clc Buffalo. however. was first to employ paid agent s si nce the New Yo rk Soe tety used unpatd vol unt eer!. for so me ttmc after its found ing. But what of the YMCA'! Katz, yo'tr-wtll remember. satd th at the first one wa~ 1n Buffalo. Th<· sto ry of the YMCA IS famtliar to us no w. smcc It parallels that of the COS's and the settlements. The first o ne. aga1n. was founded in London by young Geo rge Williams a nd his fnend J C hnst o phcr Smith in 1841. In resp('IO)t: to a mass mflux. of young men 1nto the cu y, Wt lhams and Smith ~o ught to counteract the influences of the cny , partic ularl y tn the factory are as where thC!)C mt grant s lived. thro ugh C hn suan prayer and meeung~ . These were bedroo m- prayer meetings fo r the clerk s with whom Williams and Smtth wo rked. held over the sto re where they were emp loyed . George M . Van Derlip. a New Yo rl student tn London , visi ted the first YMCA as it came to be called and publis hed a letter tn the Wauhman anJ RejleC'/or of Boston in 18 51. Three mo nths later, in the chapel of the Old South Meeting House in Boston. Captain Thomas V. Sullivan \ announced the formation of th e Boston Association. Some two weeks before the O ld South meeting. organizers in Montreal. working totally independently of the Boston group. organized the first North American YMCA . The truth i that Buffalo was third . and maybe not that. The Buffalo Association was organized in 1852. about four month s • after Boston. An association had been o rganized in Worcester, Mass .. but did not survive . Of course, in the succeedi ng years. the YMCA sustained substantial growth, developed affiliated colleges (George Williams College in "Plutarch once said, 'It is good to be well descended,' but th.e, glory belein,.Qs to our anceStors, not to the present.... " Ill inois a nd Springfield College in Sprtngfidd, Mass. - where they tnvcntcd basketball a nd volleyball), and rem ained throughou t those years very much 1b own agency .

Then again. group work w<l!) not full y rccognilcd as a social wo rk component until 1955. and by then it had become highly psyc hiatri c an orien tation of little use to the YM CA's. After a time , George Williams College moved to Downer's Grove , Illinois, and established a master's program tn social work . ngficld College on ly now is in ndidacy status for a school. Again. Buffalo was in the first group. ahead of New York City and behind Boston and Montreal. Our runnin g score might put New York City and Buffalo close again. and if no t a tte. Buffalo is a close second . I s uppose the Buffalo philc cou ld argue that the NAACP and the first Natio nal Confcrenct o n Women 's Rights (Seneca Falls, New York) would put Buffalo ahead of New York Cit y. I wouldn't . Social work's striving for professional status and the res ulting co nservatism has caused the professio n to eschew connections with reform and advocacy movements. at least historically. and there was little ove rlap in membership and no liaiso n between organized social work. represe nted primaril y by the COS's and ei ther the women's movement or the movement for African-American rights . While most modern social workers would be proud to embrace these movements. the COS roots of social work arc co nservative. indeed . ~ IV F irst, second o r third . it is clear that Buffalo and Western New York are ve ry impo rtant in American social welfare history. Our rich supply of voluntary social welfare agencies is a testimonial to that history. What has happened since? PIUiarch once .said . " II is good to be well descended. but the glo ry belongs to our ancestors ... Two figures stand out: E. Marguerite Gane and Cornelia Hopki ns Allen. Ganc was instrumental as executive secretary of the Children's Aid and S. P. of C. C. and as president of the Chi ld Welfare League of America tn shaping the American Child Welfare System as we know it today. Gane. a UB School of Social Work facultv member. was awarded the Nortor\ Medal and was funher honored through the naming of Ganc Terrace an the Ellico11 Co mplex. Co rneli a Allen , another faculty member. was a pi onee r in .. normal ized treatment" (bdore it was even called that) of the physica lly and ment ally handicapped through Cradle Beach Camp. which she directed for a number of ye ars. Allen Hall memoriali1es this pioneer . Beyond these two, it is difficult to poi nt to o ther great mnovators or innovations in human services that come from the area. It seems as if social welfare leadership was taken up primarily in the Midwest and West as America went tnt o and o ut of th e great depression of the 1930s. Wider ranging and more systematic responses to social welfare need were required : Workers· Com pensation. Unem ployment Compensation, Social Security and. mo re rece ntl y. the dein stitutionalization move ment in child welfare. men tal health. aging. and corrections. These ha ve their American roots west of Detroit. In fact. many ha ve argued that New York lags bchtnd other states in the deve lopment of services. having lo ng ago lost its leadership pos ition .

Thoma> Barry of Classics opened the debate wuh a revtew of his objections to the cou rse. whtch he has been vigorously fighttng. The course. he said , was developed -m a vac uum." He added that many othe r courses, including his own proposed ··Freedom and Res ponsibil ity·· course might serve students as welL Repeating his assertions that the course IS Marxist-driven.

Howard Foster of Management seemed to favor the motion, asking "what's wrong with a more detailed specification?" Albert B. Michaels of History. another opponent of the co urse, also urged that more material be: provided on the course. He desc ribed it as "a ve nture rhat has polarized large segments of faculty ... Raben Pa, mc:r. vice provost for student affajrs. spoke in favor of the course. noting that it is the duty of a public university to "understand and celebrate diversi ty.

He added: ""This is hardly a eroposal made in a vacuum . If you consult the education page of th e Sunday (New York) Times. the Chronicle of Higher Education ... you will see that the political currents (underpinning the course) are being discussed nationally." Michaels reiterated that hi s o bject io n was to making the course mandatory. not so much to the course itself. But Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education Fred Fleron said the debate was over whether or not to launch a pilot. For his part. William Fischer of English. chair of the committee that designed th e course. said it "is somewhat expe rimental. .. It is an "excitin g" venture. he said. "that will undergo constant eval uation ... He added: ··Let's do a pilot and as an Undergraduate College we can then judge it ... Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education John Thorpe said the Fischer committee "has worked diligently to develop some thing with an enormous amount o f academic integrity."' After the motion to delay discussion was defeated. Thorpe told the general assembly the y were voting on a pilot o nly. Michaels said that if he had understood th is point, he would not have opposed the course's tryout. It was only its being mandatory that bothered him . After some further discussion of UGC resources. the assembly approved the course for a two-year pilot.

Scientists are hard to define. Above all. they are individuals with strong personal motivations and precise goals. l,kewise, defining what a good scientist is may not be: as easy as you think . By ED KIEGLE Repofler Stall J.etitle "scientist" brings to mind stereotypes of bespectacled researchers in white coats bent over test tubes. But these images are far off the mark. Some scientists wear T-shirts. Some wear suits. The difference between doing so me· thin g new and finding something new is an important one. According to ·Hennes· sey. a s pecific question may require extensive explo tion, but the crea ti vity is in the research process itse lf. In Hennessey's o pinio n. a good scic n· ti st .. never believes a nythin g." "The best advances in scie ncL' are when things peo ple know to be 'true' arc proved fal se. A good sc ientist knows that things he or s he 's d o ne ma y be wro ng to m o rrow o r in ten years . ~ Hennessey distinguis hes betwee n bas ic researchers. who arc the "good scien· lis.&.s, .. and applied researchers suc h as Certain nam es come to mind: Einstein, Newton, Pasteur .... But what did tltey have in common? What are th e definiti ve qualities of a good scientist? There are no such qualities, according to Zc:no G. Swijtink. an assistant professor of philosophy whose specialt y is the philoso phy of science ... There are no ' ru!es' by which you can determine wh o is a good or bad scientist," Swijtink said. '' Whi ch is a problem for admin istrators who need so me objective method for pay raises and the like. "What is often used {as a ga uge of quality) is the Science Citation Index. which tell s how often a scientist is referred to hy other scientists, .. he added . .. But its value as an objective ga uge is questionable." · For exa mple, Swijtink said, a scientist wh o makes a mis take in a paper would poss ibly prove po pular in the index . There is another problem with such a n index, he co ntinued: A person does not have to publis ~ a great dealt6 be innuential in a fi eld . Furthermore, it<ti:<lifficult to measure how closely a scientist achi eves what may be called the intrinsic goal of science: understanding the universe .. To say how close a scientist is to describing how things ·really a re.· you wo uld have to know in adva nce how th ings 'really are,' .. Swijtink said . "And the work of scientists is th e closest appro xi mation we have to ho w things 'rea lly are. · This kind of reasoning would lead to a difficult philoso phy that questi o ns th e image that scien tists pu rs ue how th ings ·really arc." ·· he added . .. And eve n if we could say more a bo ut th e 'goals' o f scie nce. it d oes no t mean we ca n measure a scie ntist or say how 'good ' the y a rc. " So whe re docs that lea ve u!)? Surely there must be so me di stingu ishi ng fac· to rs. '' I don't belie ve there are quali ti es th at se para te sc ientis ts from o th er people," Swijtink said . "There a re qualities general to all sc ientists a nd so mewhat less gene r al outs id e th e scie ntific com munit y. "For example, a scientist must be able th ose who wo rk toward the cure of a to co mmunica te. He or she must have: di sease. They a rc the ones who take lan guage ski lls. math skills. imagination. advantage of the bas ic research. "Bas ic researchers ex pand the bas ic c uri osi ty abo ut why th ings arc the way they a re - but these are not ' o vlned' by k nowledge, such as the stud y o f evol u· tion.

"The da y I stop loo king forward to going int o work is the day I sto p doing it." he co nclud ed. K enn eth Take uchi , assis tant pro· fesso r of chemistry. got sta rt ed in~ his field in a roundabout way. · "Since grade school, I wanted to be a doctor," he said . .. , had gotten into a · good, acceler a ted medical program, and start ed d oi ng rounds. "Then, one day. while I was in th e cardiac unit. I was takin g down th e vital signs of an o ld man, and he asked me ' how lo n g d o I have to live?' To me. it was like a chemistry cxperi · ment where th e reagen t s star t to talk to you." The event marked a turning poi nt in Takeuchi's caree r. "I decided that I wanted to contri· butc to something bigger than m yself - to leave a legacy, a kind of immortal· it y. I wanted people 4 to look back at my writing." · So. he turn ed around and went to graduate school to study chemistry and do fundamental re· search. "I published •. five papers as a graduate s tudent and took a postdoc· tara e research posi· tion."' Takeuchi ex· plai ned his decision to pursue chemistry: " I see science a~ a linear relationship , with math on one end. then ph ys ics. then chemistry. a nd biology on the ot her. " Biology. he sa id , was too "organismrelated ... and phys ics too "'removed from rea lity. I was look ing for concrete ness and clarit y, but a certain degree of direct rela tion to nature ... Chemistry provided the happy medium . A good scientist , in Takeuchi 's opinion. mu st be .. curious, to have the motivation to pe rform experiments, and · observan t , to understand the experiment s. Yo u can get away with one or the o ther. but good scie ntists have both." "You can' learn curiosity." he added . ··so I think the aspect of intelligence is overrated . Disco vering a fundamental relationship must be so important that yo u will be driven to find it.

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

The city of Buffalo and the tri-<:ity area of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, N.C., both gave one-hour presentations to the USCSC Friday morning a! the U.S. Olympic Training Center.

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

It is an honor for the University at "In addition to material related to ! A and regional issues, many of Kemp's speeches and other forms of testimony will also be preserved," says Finnegan. "Because Kemp developed a national following early in his congressional career, he consistently addressed a large national audience outside o[ hi district." Finnegan noted that more and mo senators and members of the House of Representatives are giving their papers to archives and that a congressional historian DOW advises them on the types of materials to be preserved. The transfer or such materials is facilitated by conferences that educate both congressmen and archivists_as to the selection and preservation of appropriate materials in a manner thilt enhances their usefulness to scholarly researchers.

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

The universi ties ask: '' Where is the m·o ney and what do we do when we get it?" The answer, from many so urces: '' We're going to tell you how to use it."' When people are upset about society, they usually reach for a high school teacher and stan kicking first.

We don't want creationists in the geology department (although I might tolerate a course by Jimmy Swaggan on Advanced Photography). A ny public pressure to change education is us ually disastrous, but if I think of what confronts us. the familiar list of problems, the ozone layer, energy, loss of vegetation, the ocean, the growing volume of nuclear wastes and poisons for which no solution has been found , eanhquakes - all of these problems involve survival on a massive scale.

CD The senior statesman of. poetry ~isits UB • The grandfatherly Stanley Kunitz is not a commanding presence until he starts to read By ED KJEGLE Reporter Staff T he gray-haired poet who read to a receptive crowd in Baird Hall Nov. 16 could have easily been mistak.e n for a kindly grandfather. He was not a commanding presence until he began to read. Stanley Kunitz, who has been called America's "'senior statesman of poetry'" by Kirkus Reviews, was hom in I905 in Worcester, Mass., where he spent most of his childhood. He graduated as vaiedictorian of his high school class and went on to graduate from Harvard University, summa cum laude. with an A.B. in English in I926. The followi ng year he earned a master's degree in English, also at Harvard . After graduation, a t 22, Kunit z published his first volume of poems, lntellecrual ~· Since then, he has published severaibooks of poems and essays, along with translations of the Russian poets Andrei Voznesensky and Anna Akhmatova. Kunitz's reputation as a writer is well~ founded. H is awards include the Pulitzer Prize in 1959, the Brandeis Medal of Achievement in 1965, the National E ndowment for the Arts Senior · Fellowship in 1984, and the Bollingen Prize in 1987. · ut to the poet himself. these accolades are of secondary impor· tance . .. 1 don't think one can measure a career by prizes;• Kun itz said in an interview . ..The great moments arc when you feel you've written something that partly satisfies your desire to capture a complex of thoughts and feelings , that stands for yourself and the meaning of your life." For Kunitz, this "capturing" usually takes place after midnight. "I'm a night person," he admitted. "The [writing] process is essentially to try to get rid of the day's clutter as much as possible. "It's an act of meditation, really," he continued . "Trying to dig down tbrough the layers of the self to the 1CCret place where all human 'Cnergies now from ." When exploring these deepest levels of the self, the innuence of one's childhood plays a major role in steering the direction of a poem, according to Kunitz. · "Right in the middle and the hean of your psyche sits that child . That is where poems spring from, and it doesn' grow old. The body ages, but the imagination is forever young. Or else it die5." B K unitz, at 83, has produced a body of writing that is very diverse in style. His poems range from rhyming rhythmic verse to free verse. In his most recent book, Nexr-ro-I.Asr Thing•. his style is freerthan before, and the use of humor is abundant. "It would be a silly enterprise to spend one's whole life writing the same poem or the same kind of poetry," Kunit z remarked . "There ought to be changes in the an· corresponding to the changes in the life. "Humor is one of the ways of expanding tbe nature of tbe an itself, but there is also an effon to grow more and mol'C human as we arow older, and to incorporate that sense or humanity into the an." For Kunitz, this sense of humanity is tied to a lineage of mythmaken and storytellers that includes " the tellers of tales aroun!l the C"'i!P fire all the way back to the beginning of the race." According to Kunitz, the fundamental philosophical questions asked by all men are at the root of both poetry and mythology: "Poetry has its roots in the great myths that people build about why they're here on this planet, where they come from, where they are going. These are the same questions that all mythology contends with." But Kunitz's influences are diverse. He also draws from modem science in his poems, in "Science of the Night," for example ... Science is an exercise for the imagination in a different field that corresponds to the major effon of the imagination in the ans," he said. He added: " I think the findings. the investigations of modern science, are as exciting. as magnificent u anything that happens in the ans. There are many diJCiplines. but only one imagination." T he modem poet, however, faces obstacles that tbe scientist does not. " A poet has to have a sense of belonging to a world that wants those poems and values them, " Kunitz explained. A "fellows hip of poets" is therefore necessary, accordinato Kunitz. "Wherever one travels, poets arc in a kl nd of brotherhood and sis terhood that transcends nationhood and transcends all of the political and social differences, even the lanauage barrier." he said . "Wherever one aces in the world, the poets constitute, one feels, the phalanx of humanity iliCif. One of the problems of American poetry is that there is no sense of community within our society." The poet's role is an indispensable one, be nid, aod a society without poetry would be "aterile aod doomed." He blamed the conformist nature of society for what he feels is a Jack of passion in modern poetry. "All the pressures of society are toward crushing the nonconformist, or e t least eliminating the nonconformer from what Presidentelect Bush would call the 'mainstream' of American life. "The anist , and the poet in particular among the anists, is the last vestige of the free and self-reliant human being. and is therefore on the periphery of our society, not in the center of it." K unitz is doing his share to help young poets. Each summer, he resides in Cape Cod, working with writers at the Fine Ans Work Cent~r in Provi ncetown. " When I was young, and staning to publish my poems. the climate for poets was very different than it is now," he recalled. "When I began writing, there was nobody to tum to, no older poet that could be of any help to me, or that I would even think of turnin& to for critical help or suppon of any kind . " I made a vow to myself th 6t if I ,.ere ever in a position to be of help to you nger poets. I would do so." he added. " I've tried in my own way to fulfill that vow as best I can." Kunitz continues to write. and plans to publish a new and collected volume of poems in I990. the year of his 8Sth binhday. He seems to live the role of poet , as a storyteller, as a philosopher, u an anist. And u a pe non who is si multaneously hi' touch with the univeraal rhythms of humanity yet fiercely ind ividual and alone. "The areat German poet (Paul) Celan said 'Poems are ICilltary and on their way,' " Kuniu concluded. "1 think that nys a lot ahout the nature of poetry .. . �EXP0 -'86 PLANNER WILL HEAD UB UNIT Bruno Freschi is second architect to lead School of Architecture and Planning here By ANN WHITCHER Sratf Reporter • of architect Bruno Freschi IS one of curved spaces, sweeping lines, and attention to the smallest detail that will create beauty.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For Professon Fred See and Robert Daly, Tollden's novels arc the voice of his conscience of the worfd, and as • such arc worthy of carcf~l and involved study. • According·to See, Tollden was an immensely learned scholar "w)!o gathered so tr!UCh lore together that you coulll sort of TCView medieval and , English and Aoglo-Suon literature just by ~ing these novels. therefore, is Hitler, or an ancient Persian wizard gone bad, or any totalitarian dictator.

And how was 50mconc who w-..as t·omplctcl)' new to the area going to milke the needed changes ~ithout meeting the san~ f:uc as Savanorola, the archetypic.."ll "una nned prophd"? Fonunately, I w-.un't as much of a prophet as I thought I \\'aS. Many prople at the station. at thC' Uni,•ersity, and in the rommunity at large ~alized Lhat many of the changes needed to bt' made. Tl1ey offered t11eir suppon a nd a sistancc. So, in the past five months we havt' focusrd the st;u.ion's music and infom1ational programming. added progrnms which w~ feel will impro\'e WBFO's service to W underservrd audiences in this area. deleted some progro~m s. and bt-gan new fundraising initiati,·es. Along with hiring new staff members and nmning a successful fundmiscr. all of these changes made for a \'Cry turbulent final fi"e months of 1981! at WBFO. I can promise you thai. 1989 will not be as turbu lent. Changes and impro\'e{llenl will continue to be made. But the changes I fo resee are the "sweat the drtai1s" v-.uiet)', not the big changes v.oe made in the last ha lf of 1988. So. the changes that to ~ made now will be in the on· air presentation of music and information, with attention to pronunciation, delivery. and pacing. \ VBFO will improve the traruition from one program to anothc:r, so that they v.ill now c:ITonlessly from one to the other. At the same: time, l want to make bolh the station's mwsic and informational progr.~mming more compelling. All of these changes will be made to make · listening to WBFO a more e njoyal.rlc. informative, and rewarding. WBFO will also put marc dfon into its fundraising activities. Our funds from the state will be decreasing due to the budget crisis in Albany. Our funds from CPB will dther go down or remain the same, while our coslS for NPR program ~ I increa.K. So the station will have to r.:tisc more money on its ov.n. TI1is means more underwriting. morr corporate and foundation supon, and more oiT·air fundraising. Not 10 mention more .liSJ.ener support. · WBFO, Buffalo:s oldest public rndio station, will celebrate iLS SOI:h anniversary in 1989. We want this )'ear to lx th~ bcs1 in the smtion's history. But a staff of fony or 50 paid and unpaid workers can only do so much. So. if 1989 is going to be the best in the station's history. WBFO will need the support of the Universiry and community more than cvc:r. I guarantee you that we will work hard and pay attention to the demils to e:m1 that suppon. 0 r--------------------------------~ NAME _______________________ PHONE _ _ __ !JOIN THE !WBFO·FM FAMILY A contribution of just $15 or more will make you a member. and you'll receive a year's subscription to the WBFO Program Guide mailed directly to your home or oHice.

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

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

RUFF Aeponer Slafl D o fraternities and sororities serve as positive forces in the University as well as in the surrounding community? Or do these organizations harm more !han 1hcy help , violaling alcohol , noise, and ha z.i ng regulations, in addition to embarrassing the Univers it y? Th ese question s have been the focus of inten se d iscussion recently at UB, where a "dcbalc " was held las! monlh bel ween supporters and opponents of Greek o rgani zat ions before a standing-roomo nl y crowd o f more th an 800 at Woldman Theatre. Problems do exist within the G reek system at UB toda y. said alm ost all the fraternit y and sorority leaders. administrators. and s tudents who were inter- viewed by the Rep orler. ·-rm not here to say that Greeks are rah -rah wo nderful." commented Robert W . Henders o n, the Uni versity liaison for the Greek s. " I know that Greeks have pr o ble ms, and I want very much for· the Greeks to understand these pro blems a nd to work to impro ve them ... Mic hael f e rguso n o f Kappa Sigma addressed th ts 1ss uc in the debate. "We do n't need you (the anu-Greek s) to tell m what o ur pr o blems are . We know wh at they a rc We apolo gi 7C fo r th em. Th e t fratc:rnuu:~) have come a lo ng way .!l mcc th ey were ba ri-cd fro m the school. and wc11 co nt inue to dea l with the ~ Jtu a t1 o n " At th e de ba te. the Greeks were cha rged with pro m oting elitis m. Some mdi vt duals. fo r ex ample . might not be a bl e to successfull y pled ge a fraternit y or so ro rity , o ne pa nel ist co ntended . Currentl y. approx imately 1.250 students are members of 3 1 chapl e" a1 UB. Henderson did not see this issue as pro blemalic. He no1ed !hal he has heard from only " one or two" individuals who wanted to join a Greek organization and were turned down . .. Almost all of the individua ls who wan t to become a part of Greek society can do so ... A more serious issue, Henderson opined, is the homogeneous nature of many fraternilies and sororities at UB. In some organizations, the members all come from simi lar ethnic, socioeconomic, and academic backgrounds. Many fraternities or sororities are entirely whi le or en1irely black, for example. "I know from some students that they don'- want to join a group because it is too representative of a very specific slice of people," Henderson said . "I lhink !hal leads to som e cri ticism of the Greek s. Eli t is m is a word that some people speak aboul. I don) know how !he Greeks can be 1o1ally free of !hal . "I make a very strong pi tch for them to be more broadly based . Their organizations will be stronger if t hey're more inclusive, .. Henderson added . SA Presidenl and Theta Chi member Bob Tahara disagreed wilh lhis assess· me nl. "If you look carefully, you11 find the groups a li ttle more diverse than you might a1 fir>l lhink." T he issue of hazing has also tarnished the reputation of Greek organiza... tions throughout the country. Several hazing deaths have occurred nationwide during the last several years, including one notable case at Rutgers last year. No! surprisingly, l!azing is illegal in New York and al UB. Neverthe less. some problems have occurred here , Henderson said. "One of !he real difficulties ... is th at Greeks and non-Greek s de fi ne hazing differently."

"Hazing and some of the lhi ngs asso· cia ted with it have a function," Tahara said . "II ca n aclually make !he allegiance to an organization stronger." However, he added that m ost national fraternities have recognized that the dangers ou tweigh any benefils. One national fraternity has done away wilh !he pledge syslem emirely.

At times the proceedings reminded one ol Morton Downey, Jr. "These questions have been the focus of intense discussion recently at UB, ere a 'debate' was held month between and opponents of reek organizations before a standing-room-only crewd of more than BOO at Woldman Thea tre.

These problems have made the front page of the Buffalo News. a nd were the lead story for local television news. ""There will be more (arrests) if the Greek s sponsor the same kind of par- ties." Henderso n said. .. It 's a time bomb waiting to go off. .. Maintaining that fratern ities were not solely responsible for these complaints. Tahara nevertheless emphasized the need for better commu nity relations . .. But let me ask th is: Arc (fraternity members) the only ones th at throw ho use panics? Isn't this scapc:goating? Let ·s look to the entire problem of underage drinkil_lg ... Tahara reco mmend ed .. dry rushes.'' where no alcohol is served . .. Fraternities can survive without alcohol, .. he stressed. Similarly, Henderso n comme nted that so me fraternities are ''changing their behavior." So me: panics have been cancelled while o thers have been moved to other locatio ns in an effort to improve communi ty relations. To Henderso n. the question is: Will these be permanent changes? While students have short memorie~. long-time University Heights residents do not. Henderso n said . "The things that Greeks do toda y will be remembered for ye.ars to come by their neighbors ,·· affecting students of the fut ure . t last month 's debate. one individual charged fraternit y members with committing a large number of campus rapes. According to sta tistics from the Anti-Rape Task Force. two-th ird s of all rapes o n campuses nationwide involve fraternity members. Currently. at U B. no rapes have been reponed this se!l'es ter , according to Public Safety. Alcohol contributes to th e alleged rape problem. said R. ac hacl Goldberg. a member of the Anti-Greek panel at the debate. "When yo u get 15 fraternity guys in a ho use with 'sisters.' it makes it a heck o f a lot easier for the guys to try to get away with doing someth ing , and especially when they're under the innuence of alcohol." Henderson acknowledged .t hat this problem exists. ..Yes, some women become intoxicated and, yes, the individdual who has drunk too much may be subject to such violence. .. When you use your li vi ng quarters as the site for a very lasgc pany, and you have men and women there and have great quantities of alcohol, you are putting a noose around your neck .. . and setting yourself up for tremendous risk. ... he warned. Especially dangerous arc the so-<:allcd .. little-sister.. programs. which some fraternities still have at U B. Said Henderson: .. We do not encourage the little sister program ... A reek panelists at the debate were quick to point ou t their positive activities. Terry Lindsay. of Phi Beta Sigma. G em phasized th e fra ternit ies' blood drives an d canned goo ds collections for the need y. In addi tion. he ci ted Kappa Sig· rna's con tribut ion of the "Time Tracks" exhibit in the wa lkway between the SAC and Knox Lecture Hall. Funhcr. he said. so me _groups help at ncighbortmod libraries and community centers. Similarly. Hende rson ex tolled many of the Greeks" philanthropic and service activities. including the often-publicized Kids" Day news paper drive for Children 's Hospital. Yet. most s uch ac tivit ies are not publicized. "For the most part, they do not advenise for outsiders to come to the project. You don' do these projects in order to get a write-up. to get a gold star. You do these to help those who need it, .. said Henderson. There is criticism that fraternities perform these actions solely for public relation s appeal. But Henderson said such cri ticism is unjustified .... 1 see the Greeks doingQ:ttings that simil ar unorganized and umi!Tiliatcd groups of 20 to 30 don' see m to be doing ... reek organizations also impart man y social benefits to me mbers , said Tahara. " In a very large, major. almost top ten public research institution such as U 8 , the average person finds it very hard to have a place of his own." Small group identification, which Greek organizations provide, can greatly increase a perso n's sense of well-being, Tahara said . "It certainly opens a gateway to a social life." added Bill Slade. president of Tau Kappa Epsilon. In addition. small group iden tificati on aids in retention . Greeks are more likely to g radu ate than non-Greeks both at UB and else where . Tahara said. citing several studies. Both Tahara and Henderson stressed the leadersh ip development which Greek life can impart. Through work on committees fo r philanthropic and service projects, ind ividuals can assume leadership roles. He nderso n mentioned that so me studies showed that Greeks were more likel y to ass ume leadership roles in communities late r in life thun nonGreeks. G D espite the many complain ts against Greek life. the role of the University should be encouragement and education. according to some administrators. The granting and withdrawing of recognition is the o nl y other action that the University can take with fraternities. according to Robc:n Palmer, vice pro vost for student affairs. Henderson concurred . The University has no responsibility for what takes place off campus. des pite many perceptions to the"' contrary. But, said Palmer: .. 1 believe that we have responsibility to use whatever innuence and means we have at our disposal to rectify the situation .. .. We will continue to work with fraternities and sororities when incidents are brought to our attention ... To Tahara, cooperation and education seem to be the answers to solving so me of the problems in the Greek system. " I think they (the anti-Greets) arc bringing up points that have so mt validity, but their point that these problems justify the destruction of fraternities and so rorities is unwarranted ... Concluded Hend erso n: " I do se nse that the Greeks want to improve. It 's in the Greeks" hand s to improve and stay improved .'' CD Black maintained . however. that -no one ia denying that there is a problem ... For some time now. Black's office has been in viting members of the Buffalo Common Council and the University Heights Co mmunit y Associa tion. police office rs. students. and residents . to express their conce rns. This year , Black said . his office began a hoped-for se ries of meetings 1n a church basement in the University Heights district. also with councilmen. police, student s. and neighbors presen t . He explained: ''The leaders of the offcampus fraternities and so rorit ies were gathered together in a local church basement the night before classes began. to hear again of the Unive rsity's concerns with regard to neighborhood relations.·· The object here. Black said. was to alcn st udent s to the alcohol beverage co ntrol laws and to what Black calls ""the responsi bilities of good citizenship ... Similar mee tings ha ve taken place o n campus. a lso under the acsis of Black"s office. Additionally. Black and his team have met on three occasio ns with the Common Council's legislalion committee. during which time neig hbors. stud en ts. and police had a chance to ai r their views. Black said that when his office gets a complaint from a concerned resident. "we bring that (st udent) group in. ask them to respond. whether or not the law has been vio lated . It 's still a complaint. and it needs to be responded t o. .. This year"s program of Greek education. Black said, included a September sessio n on hazi ng. Upcoming sessions will deal with alcohol and substance abuse. and with discrimination. "Councilman Amos wants to establish better lines of communication between students and the neighbors." be it of a racial, sex ual. or religious ilk . Andy Moldovan. president of Sigma Phi Epsilon. three of whose members live at 391 Highga te. said the controversy "might pus h U B to build th e houses on Fraternity Row faster." Fraternity Row, a proposed development o n Sweet H o me Road for Greeks. is the ''only sol uti on" to the cu rrent problem, Moldovan stated . What Moldovan terms ap .. o ngoi ng war between University Heights students and residents" is due , in his view. to a clash between lifestyles . .. You have so me people who arc 80, compared to 20-ycarolds. This is a 60-ycar gap." Funher, he said, the panies have a ··reasonable cut-off (time)." and arc held much less frequently than some residents have charged ... We have panics on one night of the weekend, and it"s maybe every other weekend. Usually the pan y docsn' go past 2 a.m." The pattern. he said, is for students to frequent the fraternity house part y from 9 to 12 and then head to the bars from midnight to 4 a.m. M o ldova n said the reported brawl last month at 358 Minnesota " had nothing to do with the Greeks." He maintains that student s from an area high school were involved . Buffalo Police Officer Linda Manin is a liaison for commur;aity relati ons for the University Heights d b.trict. She emphasized that she does not answer calls, but rather fo ll ows up on specific neighborhood complaints. From Sept. I to Oct. 3 I. her resea rch revea ls that only one a rrest was made in University Heigh ts for this ki nd of disturba nce. It was a Halloween event. Martin said . Mo reover. "the officer didn't think it was a fraternity party. " In ge neral. Martin said. the fraternity panies generally were not loud. and if the y were . "officers were quickly able to quiet them down." A resident wh o has been the so urce of many of the complaints about 391 Highgate declined to be interviewed by telephone. Another re sident. who asked that her name not be used. lives across the street from o ne of the houses in question. According to this ind ividual, neighboring frat ernity members have volun teered to help elderly residents wit h thctr ya rd work . "They couldn't be more couneous o r helpful. I have nothing but the highest praise for th em ... Still. this resident could undersland that those living next door to fraternity houses might find "big parties .. a nuisance. Jose phine Patricola. 78. who lives next door to 88 Minneso ta , offered this view: .. As fa r as the boys who live next door. they arc good . really nice. boys. They have helped some of the elderly neighbors with cutting grass and washing the windows. They do a lot . This year. there were boys from ca mpu s who came to help. "A nd recentl y, a boy int rod uced himself from the fraternity and asked if there was anythi ng he co uld d o for me. He offered to clean th'e leaves in m' back ya rd . But I gave him the phon~ numbers of three (elderly) neighbors who needed so me "''ork done. Thev did a nice job."" . She added : "Of course. there arc the parttcs. They come by the hundreds. But if it's noisy. I call them. a nd they qu iet do wn ... The ig panics, she said. can cause a disturbance. "It's the big crowds tha t are bad fo r the neighborhood .

Mrs. Patricola points to one ins tance where a neighbor's driveway was blocked during a fraternity party. There have been .. nasty" stud c..nt s in the past . she concluded. ''bu t I have a lot of res pect for th e boys who li ve next door (now)." or his part. Buffalo Councilman Archie Amos is trying to establish better communication among those affec ted. ""There's an ·us a nd they· sy ndro me , .. he said. "in which everyone is developing their own ste reotype ... In so me 20 of th ese cases Amos has dealt with during his three years in office. "all but two of them have met with resolution. We 've even gotten students involved in the block clubs. And. for the first time in years. we have more students help ing with the University Heights Community Center than ever before." Amos doesn't deny. though. that there asc "pro blem houses." where 200 or 300 students may s how up f?r a pany. "'As a former fireman, I can tell you that is a dangerous situation ... Meetings in which landlords have been apprised of fire a nd sanitation issues have usually been fruitful. he said. Amos plans to write to the SU Y Trustees aski ng them ...to get more involved." Hc"d like them to ex tend the Univcrsity's-jutisdiction, as much as is possi ble. perhaps by imposing academic sancti o ns where appropriate.

We need independent. critical. and imaginative thinkers and doei'S to meet the challenges of tht 21st century. The ideals of a free and democratic people are given new urgency as one draws out the implications of the complicated and everchanging world into which we 3rt moving. Third. the tvolving world we arc seeing is an increasing1y technological world. It is a world dominattd by pacemakei'S and automated tcllen, by space shuttles and !asci'S, by computers and CAT-scans. In one sense the rapid advance of technology has cltarly resulted in the "dumbing down" of many occupations. Fast fond workers no longer need to know how to road or calculate. They just have to punch the appropriate picture on the a utomated cash register. ln another sense, the rapid rise of technology poses a mojor challenge to society, both in tcrrns of bow to undci'Slaod the uses and limits of technology and how to make certain that everyone benefits from the amazing power it brings.

Some have parole officers or are pan of the caseload of a social worker. Some need medical help and health and vocational counseling. All need to be known as whole persons rat he r than as isolated exa mples of different pathologies. Administrators, teachers, counselors, social workers, health care professionals, will all have to work together in new and as yet uncharted ways within sc hools to address such problems . S choo ls must become computer a nd te chn ology nch environments if we arc to meet the cha llenges o f the 21st ce ntury. Teachers must be familiar with and co mmmcd to usmg a wide variet y o f tec hn o logi es. Such techno logies ca n a~~~~t 1n traditi onal instruction . and provide ''d istance learning'' for iso lated rural dastncts. and sim ulated laboratories and "real ilfc" experiences fo r th e yo uth nf to mo rrow. Such technologies may also pro vide entirel y new ways of thtnking ab out teaching as when comp uters can show the res ults of ~ci entific expe riments as th ey arc occurring. leading to a much deeper understanding o f the conce pts in vo lved . There are. however. maj o r questio ns as to whet her the power of technology in lcarntng will be equitabl y distribu ted and available to the poor as well as the rich . If it is not. we run the risk of widening the alread y substan tial class. race , and gender gaps we often find tn ed ucation . Standardized tests as currently used in education arc of limited valu~ . yet they arc ubiquit ous in their usc. The evide nce is absolutel y conclusive that the current crop of paper and pencil tests bears no rel ation to whether or not someone will be a good teac her. yet we usc them a ll the time. Fortunately, there arc indications of significant changes . The Educational Testing Service has just announced a major project to redesign its teacher testing program. moving away from paper and pencil exams and toward more interactive and performance-based assessment procedures. Even more importantly, the Carnegie Forum has established a Ocdgling National Board for Professio nal Teaching Standards. This Board is working on a system of vol untary certification for experienced teachers to identify the very best professionals in the field . The assessmen t procedures being developed by the board give promise of revolutionizing ou r ideas of how to determine what teachers know and are a ble to do. In a se nse, the new assessment must be made to work because the link between assessmen t and accountabili ty is likely to be strengthened. As teaching is professionalized and schools arc restructured, politicians and policy makers will cast a wary eye on whether the public is gelling the value it deserves for the autonomy and resources it grants. Hard 'questions will be asked regarding the outcomes of all this change. Thi: danger is that these questions will be answered with tests and assessment procedures inappropriate to the questions. If we are unable to develop the promiSed new assessments, we will be like doctors who can only test the health of our patients with so mething like a thermometer. We will not have the Xrays and blood tests and other assessment techniques we need for the job. ~nail~ . a~l of th is ac tivity has major tmphcauon s for those of us in graduate schoo ls of education in research universities. Not only must we reexamine and refonn our preparation programs for the teachers, administrators, counselors. and schools of the 21st century, we must also provide the research , development, and evaluation which will undergird these changes. As a major doctoral granting institution we will also be preparing the professors who will staff the colleges of education across the co •.mtry. Here at UB we are focusing our efforts on two areas - school reform and improvement and learning and technology. These broad foci are being addressed in a number of mo re specific ways. In the area of school reform and improvement we arc tryi ng to define the notion of a rencctive practitioner. Teachers. administ rators. counselors, sc hoo l psyc hologists, all must have a grasp of their field arSa::the motivation t o rcnect upon and improve it . More specifically. we are atte mpting to reach out in two direction s to help us give substance to the idea of rcncctive practice. First. we are strengthening our relation s with the Arts and Sciences. UB is a member of Project JO. a Carnegie-sponsored netwo rk of 30 insti tut ions across the country dedicated to reexamining and changing the role of the arts and sciences in teacher preparation . At Buffalo o ur core thru st is to constantly questi o n and reexamine the tradi ti onal ways in which we think about the disci plines and ho w we teach them. In this way we hope to inculcate the kind of inquiring mind which is characteristi c of the rcnective practitioner. . such environments during most of their _ lives. We hope to find out how to improve their capacities in this respect. Second, we will focus research and programmatic effons on the use of technology within more traditional instructional areas. We will be asking such questions as: To what extent can the compu ter imp rove the writing process? How ca n compu ter-based geometries (e.g .. LOGO) be used in elementary mathematics instruction?

UNY State guidelines require the Student Governme nt to put the issue of mandatory student fees to a vo te by the student bod y every four years in a referendum. The undergraduate referendum was conducted on this campus No v. 15-17. This referendum requirement presupposes a democratic envi ronment which permits a rigorous. unrestrained, unfettered excha nge of opposing views on the issue of mandatory student fees. This presumption is based on the notion that UNINFORMED consent is NO consent at all. S Viewpoints opposing the mandatory student fees were censored completely during the November referendum. This can be easily verified . Nowhere in the student funded press (Spectrum or Generation) is there a n 8£.1icle to be found which expresses oPposi tion to these fees. The Spectrum 's Nov . 14 issu:: devoted the entire front page (partially in red ink - at extra cost) to a plea for a yes vote on the issue. That issue also contained a lopsided inside story touting the need for mandatory student fees. The Nov. 14 issue also co ntained a staff editorial urging a yes vote. The Nov. 16 iss ue co nt ained another staff edi torial urging a yes vote·. Also on Nov. 9 and Nov. II. The Nov . 18 issue YES full page article urging a yes vo te to mandatory student fees.

This was in reference to the UB administration's attempt to collect fees se parately and independentl y apart from the Student Association. This is a se parate issue entire!)' th at is totall y irrelevant to the referendum that was being presented to the student body. On Nov. 8 the Generation ran a staff edito rial urging a yes vote for th e mandatory student fee . N contai ned a .. Student View" section which presented to three stude nts the question ...

When I questioned the eth ics of his reasoning, he replied that he was not ethically obliged to point a loaded gun at his head and pull the trigger, i.e., he was not required to act against the interests of the newspaper (referring to its dependence on the student fees).

No one need s to ask why this is true. The hallmark of tyranny is its suffocation of free expression by contumacious editors who. oblivious to the ethical implications of contentscree ning. become imperious censors charged with the notion of sanit izing ideas by militating against .. incorrect" beliefs. Ironicall y, last spring the Speclrum editor engaged in a grandiloquent display with a pontificating diatribe about the vinues of free speech. as he criticized the UB Law School for a Faculty Statement which he admittedly NEVER read . The Spec1rum apparently has a very elastic notion of the concept of censorship. Disingenuous platitudes and hollow shibboleth s will never manifest themselves as vanguards of free speech. The student press on this campus has jeuisoned the ethical component of its responsibilities for the functional expediency of protecting its own perpetuity. Its Machiavellian convictions that the ends justify the means demonstrate that it is unworthy of the full faith and trust of this student body as recipients of mandatory student fees. I described this situation to K'iorl Weir, o ne of Tabara's henchmen and chair of the Elections and Credentials Committee. while he manned one of the referendum voting booths. His response was, "h"s HIS (Weiss) newspaper. H e can reject whatever he chooses. It's his discretion. " Cont rary to these cretin notions that the newspaper is the editor's personal property which he can manipulate as he sees lit, the Sputrum belongs to the student body of this school. It is funded in major pan by their mandatory student fees, as is evidenced by its overzealous effort to protect those fees .. The Supreme Court has been unequivocal in its repeated holdings that content-based saoctions of speech by the press violate the Equal Protection Clause and the Free Speech • Clause of our Constitution. The meretricious not.ioru harbored by Weiss and Weir represent flagrant , callous disregard for and indifference to the sanctity of those fundamental rights. I believe that the people we entrust with important political and journalistic decisions should be required to take a rudimentary course in Constituti onal law so they are not a this o blivious to the basic principles of human rights; so they are not so bereft of any ethical sensibilities about the value of these rights. They clearly need to realize that these rights are not expendable for so me expediency. no matter how worthy. Free Speech principles require the press to give free play to both sides of an iss ue.

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

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

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

"We've for years had an active energy conservation program. The primary thrust of the program has been to take building heating and lighting systems and make them more efficient. "The end f<'SUlt would be that we would save on utility costs, 'while the people using campus facilities would not detect any change in services provided ," Simpson said. "We did things be hind the scenes and with little impact on comfo rt .... He said these conservation measures will continue alongside the temperature cutbacks.

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

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

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

They should also be prompted "to seek out they must learn to work without applause" if they are going to be successful academics later on. Others, however, including Daly himDaly said this enoouragement should even extend beyond the dissertation.

By late 1977, said Ireland, "I was di vo rced , raising two daughters. teach- ing, and trying to fmish the program. The situation became untenable in a very practical, physical way." Yet perhaps, Ireland continued. while the situation seemed untenable at the time. the dissertation was doable. After working in the newspaper business for several years, he feels he could have been mbre .. practical-minded., about Writing the dissertation. His mistake was trying to be "brilliant," instead of realizing that the dissertation is .. nothing but a shon, bad book." Thinking that they have to be brilliant may be one of the most paralyzing reasons , according to Ireland , people fail to finish doctoral programs. He advised other graduate students who are still in school "to take ·a cold shower if you feel yourself being brilliant or clever." orals and dissertation committees much sooner." Rode! emphasized that good advise- h'"""''" ment will grow even more importa.nt should the University adopt the " Rennie proposal," a new budget balancing plan academic fields. some of the situations that may cause people to drop out are that would impose a 72-credit-hour limit on tuition waivers.

Ac~ording to Robert Daly, associate vice provost for graduate education and .associate dean in the Graduate School, "there are more jobs each year." Daly predicts that in the 1990s there will actually be "a teacher shortage." D.~- acknowledging that the job "demographics are changing," said that it will stiU be difficult for new Pb.D.s to obtain good jobs. The tenure-track positions will go to people who are "now employed at the lowest tiers of oolleges." These are I: situations suggested by Syverson that might cause students to drop out, Daly added a fourth : writing the dissertation. Or more specifically, the isol;ned, relatively unsupervised circumstances in which a student writes a dissertation.

While there "are people who work best undisturbed," others find ·that the dissertation phase in many gaduate programs "is so open and so free" that they "cannot stay on schedule." · Graduate student Moors concurs.

As Beachley put it, "there's something at the end . of the tunnel. Typically there are jobs available and these jobs are well · paying. A Ph.D. usually starts out at $35,000 to $40,000 a year." Graduate students in C~emistry also generally do not work on their thesis projects in solitude. Beachley, like other Chemistry professors, works very closely with the students whose projects he is supervising. - we have very close and extensive interaction every day of the week."

Senate debates ethics of free texts; courtesy cars By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Publications Staff thical issues surrounding the sale of complimentary copies of textbooks and the use of courtesy cars were discussed by the Faculty Senate.)ast wee)<. The group passed a resolution calling it unethical for faculty members to sell complimentary copies of textbook s supplied by publishers for evaluation. The vote was 27 for and 18 against, with nine abstentions. E Several faculty members asked what you or~ supposed to do with these books. Jerome B. Keister, associate professor of chemistry, said that his department eas· ily gets live freshman texts per faculty member every year, even when there are no plans to change the text. / Freshmen don't want a tex~s not used in class and the library·s slielves would,_ soon be full if the texts were donated, he noted. They could be sent back to the publisher if the publisher pays postage, bu1.Keister said he resents even having to pack up a book he didn "t ask fo r. "If I plan to adopt a text, I 11 wrile to them. ·· he said. William E. McGrath, associate professor of the School of Information and Library Studies, said not all copies are clearly identified as complimentary copies not intended for resale. Raymond Hunt, professor and chairman of Organization and Hum an Resources, said he heard that some book merchants want to petition the Faculty Senate for a hearing on the matter. T he iss ue of selling complimentary texts and the Athletics Department"s use of cars donated by dealerships are tied together, said George Hochfictd, professo r of English. Hoch!ield proposed a resolution that says that no faculty or staff should solicit or accept the usc of courtesy cars. There's a quid pro quo involved , Hochlield said. The dealer gets his name on the scoreboard and in the game pro- · gram and hopes that alumni might buy a car from him in the future. • Since U B started moving toward Division l athletics, "we've been told repeatedly that we11 follow the example of Ivy League schoOls," Hochfield said . But at Cornell, he explained . the athletic department leases cars and during the summer the individuals who use them pay th e leases themselves. Hoch!ield said he didn'l know if this was common practice at all Ivy League schools. The incentive for the dealer to donate the use of the cars is publicity, said Charles Stinger. professor of history. The dealer believes it will increase sales and the University is helping thai business. "I believe that"s sleazy, frankly," Stinger said. In medicine, there's a real ethical problem with drug companies that are trying to push a new drug, said Boris Albini, professor of microbiology.

"We're hen: to find the scholarly truth and we should try to liberate ourselves from the pressures that money and business bring," he said. "Pharmacy couldn l go on without donations from pharmaceutical companies."' said Frances Schneider, clinical associate professor of pharmacy. But the faculty members say up front that the donations wonl bias them. If not for th<se donations, UB would have to depend completely on State support, Schneider pointed out. Similar sentiments were expressed abou t dentistry and medicine. It seems foolish to single oul athletics for accepting donations when this practice goes on in other a reas of the Universi ty, noted one se nator. He pointed out that music sto res make donations to support concerts and get their names in programs, hoping to drum up business. The University should be more con· cerned about the appropriate use of donations, said Edward Jenkins, associate professor of learning and instruction.

Its movers noted that the document has been discussed thoroughly in the Faculty Senate Executive Committ'e<: and in the provost's office. and said the document stands on its own. Boot, however, took the opportunity to speak against what he sees as a mistake that has been escalated into a lie. Boot is an outspoken critic of the administration "s handling of the deactivation of the Statistics Department a nd bas helped keep the controversy on center stage for nearly two years. Boot argued that guidelines did exist in March, 1987, when the deactivation of 1he Statistics Department began, but thatlhc administration disregarded these rules. When confronted, the administrati on claimed there were no rules, he said. "And so a mistake of not foll~wing proper procedure has become a clear-<:ut tic. a Iota! fantasy talc, belied by all the evidence at hand," Boot said. "And that is the ultimate mistake of this sorry talc: That one fears to make a mistake and engages in di shonesty to avoid having to admit to a mistake is the worst mistake of all." • The Faculty Senate urged the SUNY chancellor and UB president to ensure that affirmative action gains will be protected during the current fiscal challenge facing the State. • President Steven Samp!c announced that details an: being worked out on an experiment wherein the SUNY Research Foundation will give the UB Foundation more authority to adminisier granu and contracts on the campus level.

Nominees for the post are Nicolas Goodman of Mathematics, Will iam Miller of Dentistry, and Marek Zaleski of Microbiology.

"It 's because I feel so intensely ambivalent abo ut th e way th at John has conducted himself. th at I am running.·· Boot ''has been very effective in making the senate more visi ble. and in making people more enthusiastic about the senate," said Goodman. ''He has vigorously made many excellent points and has conducted stimulating meetings. "'But I feel th at he has unnecessarily antagonized the administration. .He has not been sufficie ntly careful to maintain that cooperative relationship between the se nate and the administration wi1houl which our deliberalions become mere post uring ... Goodman also criticized Boot for not paying ""proper attention to the effectiveness of the senate committee structure. forgetting that that is where most of the work of the senate ought to be done." Immediate Past Chair Claude Welch. said Goodman. "did a fine job as a liaison with the administ ration and kep t the committees running smoothly. But he was a little too unwilling to criticize th e· administration. I'd like to see someont: run the senate in an intermediate way." F But Goodman, a native of Berlin who holds Ph.D . and M.S. degrees from Stanford. has other reasons for seeking the job. In his view, UB has developed impressively over the last few years, but shows "certain unfortunate imbalances." He explained :" "We have a splendid honors program and @re de veloping a marvelous world civilization course. Many of our undergraduates, however, must take required courses in huge impersonal lectures graded on the basis of com put er-scored multiple choice examinations. "'Many must even t ake required cou rses at nigh t in Millard Fillmore <;:ollege with instructors, who, with some exceptions, are not as well qualified as our regul ar faculty." Also problematic, said Goodman, are graduate programs in dep art ments, "which, despite their strength, are unable to offer large enough assistantships to attract the best graduate students. We have or are building research centers of national and international visi bility, but we are doing almost irremediable damage to our · fun.damental scholarl y resource - the library." What is happening to the libraries, Goodman contended, "is a disaster. Damage is being done that will" be extremely dangerpw to the University." Steven Sample is, "on balance, a fine president," Goodman slated. "But while the libraries arc really starved, we've put a great deal of money - NICOLAS GOODMAN A "One. facet of our search for greatness which is suffering is the library system. We and our students need these books and journals for study and research." - into the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research , the Center for Superconductivity, etc. It is really not clear what they are doing for the overall quality of the University. " It may be that these two developmen ts are connected, in that monies that could be used to maintain essential journal subscriptiOns are instead being used to fund so me of the scientific centers." In Goodman's view, there haS been too much emphasis on the dollar amount of outside sponsorship "almost to the exclusion of all other measures of research excellence." The University is, in effect, telling junior faculty that in order to get tenure, "the bigger the grant the better." This, said Goodman, "is not a worthy goal to put in front of our young scholars. •• Goodman would like lo see "a more subtle and sophisticated evalualion" of scholarly excellence here. ;--...... WILLIAM A. MILLER 1 graduate stand ards will have on attrition and what effect such attrition will have on the financial health of the University. " We have discussed the leadership and organization of the Graduate School, but not how and by whom our graduate students will be taught to teach. We have cheered on the development of great interdisciplinary centers, but have not discussed enough what effect the diversion of resources from the depa rtments to these centers will have on the longterm strength of the University." In seeking the chairmanship, Goodman cites his many years of administrative experience in the Math Department and his time in the senate. A member of the UB faculty si nce 1969. be has served often as a senator and served on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee in 1987-88. Goodman's writings have appeared in Other issues: "We have discussed the ~h periodicals as Journal of Symbolic details of the organization and program Logic and Th~ Notre DtJme Journal of of the Undergraduate College at great Formal Logic;. He was the recipient last year of a NSF research grant entitled length, but have not discussed at equal length what effect the raising of under- . "Semantics of Mathematical Language." William A. Miller s U B continues to strive for nat ion.al recognition, the role of faculty will be of " prime importance," says William A. Miller. professor of stomatology in the School of Dental Medicine and a candidate for senate chair. The genial native of Croydon, England , noted that the University is receiving increasing amou nts of research dollars. even as the State faces a fiscal crisis. "One facet of o ur search for 'greatness,' which is suffering from this si tuation, is the University library system. I will not expound o n the right or wrong of any philoso phy o ther than to say that co mputer cataloging (and even usage at the presen t time ) is an adjunct to journals and books. not a su bstitute. .. However. faculty input must be paramount. We and our stud ents use these books and journals for stud y and research - not the admi nistration. It is our research that will suffer from an inlldeq uatc library system." When one visi ts a great university and sees its library, Miller said , "it is the book and journal collection which impresses.... " If we wish to be a lTPR U (top ten public research universit y), we must have in put from a lTPRU library system. Without it we fail." Miller has proposed a University-wide library committee· that would have faculty, staff, and stud ent members. as does the .Public Safety Committee, on which he now serves. "Another iss ue that I would like to see coming to closure i that of how the Uni: versity handles allegations of scientific fraud. Recommendations have been made via a se nate committee, but so far no public policy has been announced . T he NIH and the NSF as well as the U.S. Congress all s how recent concern that nothing is really happening in our universities. · " If there is no visible action. (a) process will be imposed from above. We are told 'old boy damage control" is no longer to be tolerated." Miller described himself as an "active and involved' faculty member, with a wide range of inte rests. " I have taught not only in the School of Dental Medi'cine, my 'home,• at professional and graduate levels, but also in the Department of Anthropology, as adjunct pro- . · fessor, and in the Department of Geology." A Miller has also been active in the Environmental Studies Center, and served on the Council of the Organization of Principal Investigators for six years. Currently, he is the principal investigator of a $2.5 million NIH contract. Miller believes that "as a faculty involved in teaching and research at a lTPRU, we should expect excellent lecture halls, good audiovisual equipment, and excellent graphic facilities. These · need further improvement and accessibility, certainly on the Main Street Campus. This concern I also · intend to pursue." Adpitionally, Miller · would like to determine more "precisely the relationship between the .G..,.uate School and the Faculty Senate, the ties between the Undergraduate. College and tbe senate �o-ber1,1988 Volume 20, No. 13 Candidates having been well delineared . He added: "John Boor is probably co rrect in his assessment of the Graduate School issue, (bur) ir is perceived as a perso nal hosrility roward Don Rennie and this has clouded an importam issue rhar sri II has ro be disc ussed." In short , Miller finds Boor's sryle overly confronrarional, !hough he has "greal respecl" for rhe oulgoing chair. His own sryle would be milder, wilh I he se nale servi ng as "the focus of faculty discussion and concerns:' Miller also welco mes the willingness of President Sample and Provosl William Greiner to frankly d iscuss their views wirh the fac ulry.

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

In Zaleski's view, the se nate should co ncent ra te on issues th at are of prime importance. "What is th e missio n of the University? How do we accomplish it? Let's not waste tim e on things of minimal im porta nce. such as rh e smoking policy." Zaleski offe red prai.., for outgoing chai r John Boor. 'The reaso n he appears as a gad Oy or an obnoxious guy is because he has nor permiued himself 10 be cu r off (from discussions involving major issues of the Uni versiry)." Zaleski has never served on the se nate but was urged by colleagues to run for se nate chair. By way of qualifications, he cited his experience in running the Microbiology Departmenl's IFR account for four years. his administrative experience in Poland, and his service on the Faculty Council of the Medical Schoof. In summ ary, Zaleski said his "first loyalt y is wirh the faculty. " When push comes to shove, I will defend the faculty. nor rhe administratio n.

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

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

" What I have found working on Lhe comm unit y, local, state, and federal levels is that our water quality is really govd," she said. We've established standards for safe water and are meeting, if not exceeding, th ose standards. Homes usi ng municipal water generally don~ need added filtration systems. You may even be beuer ofT without some that are on the market, Highsmith noted. Many systems that fit on the faucet use carbon, which actually provides a breeding ground for bacteria. I t's the job of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate .. drinking water while the CDC is interested in disease . Water-borne diseases arc on the decline, she said. When there is an outbreak of disease in a public swimming pool or whirlpool, it's usually due to poor maintenance. such as using too liule chlorine. Once there is a problem. it's up to Highsmi th's office to find o ut everything they can about the offending organism in case another outbreak occurs. For instance, they know that you're more likely to become ill from pseudomonas aeruginosa, a disease-causing organism that can grow in whir[pools, if you s~ay in longer Lhan 30 minutes. Women are at higher risk than men (possibly because women wear Lightly-filling bathing suits), and women who wear one-piece bathing suits are at higher risk than those who wear two-piece suits. They also know that pseudomonas aeruginosa likes the cool environment in and around ice makers, so on the flight to Buffalo, Highsmith declined to drink a beverage that was chilled with an ice cube. "I chose not to ingest water that probably wasn~ contaminated, but could be," she said. T bough lap water is clean enough for drinking, (\athing, and laundry, Wdler for some special purposes must be purer, Highsmith said. High-purit y water is required in some research labs and in some areas of hospitals, such as eritical..:are areas or dialysis units. How the water is used determines Lhe kinds of impuritie$, such as microorganisms· or minerals, that m~ removed. It's important to recognize Lhal water technology has advanced tremendously over the last five to seven years, she said. The type of treatment used to purify water. the materials used in that treatment, and our understanding of how to monitor water quality have all impro ved. There's new technology to measure impurities th at we we ren't able to measure a few years ago, and new equipmenc is coming out to remove those impurities. These advances are allowing national committees, such as th e National CommiHec for Clinical Laboratory Standards, to continually raise standards on water quality, Highsmith said . CD T~ree men spending 14 days in UB 'dry dive' By ARTHUR PAGE News Bureau StaH hree men are spending 14 days in a pressu ri zed chamber sim ulating condi tions found 50 feet underwater as part of a UB study aimed at developi ng guidelines to help diver> avoid decomJlression sickness, also known as "the bends." The three entered the chamber at the School of Medici ne and Biomedical Sciences Monday, Nov. 28, and will remain there until Monday, Dec. 12, as part of the second phase of a study funded by the New York Sea Grant Inst itute. Claes E.G. Lundgren, M.D., Ph.D., professor of physiology, who is directing the study, noted that three other researchers spent eight days in Lhe chamber in April during the school's first ...saturation dive," conducted as the initial phase of the project. The three taking part in the current 14-day "d ive" are Glen Nagasawa, M .D., postgraduate research fellow in physiology; Kevin Smith, and Michael Stinson. The dala gathered during the two weeks hopefully will . help develop guideli nes for faster, yet safe, decompression of d ivers who work or play deep below the water's surface, Lundgren explained. Decompression sickness occurs when divers surface too quickly, trapping in their bodies higber-than-normallevels of nitrogen that occur under increased pressure. Depending on the length and T depth of a dive, decompression may take from many hours to several days. Lundgren said bei ng able to cut the time it · takes for safe decompression would be particularly he lp ful for companies employing divers working in oil and gas fields at sea boUo m. The divers now must live under pressurized conditions for days on end because of the length of time it takes for safe decompression. The current procedure is ti me~onsuming and costly in terms of man·hours for the companies. The study participants are enjoying th e comforts of home during their time in the chamber, which is 20-feet long and 6as a seven-fool diameter. h is equipped with bunk beds and has a bath and toilet facilities . Meals are being delivered via air locks. A dozen "crew" members from the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences are monitoring the panicipants and the equipment around-the..:lock. Dan Anderson, M.D., postgraduate resea rch fellow in physiology who panicipated in the earlier ..dive," is coordinating the current project. The th ree. p ar ti cipants are also !'Onducting studies aimed at improvin~ understanding of the process that slows the loss of b<><!y water through the skin of divers at great depths. That work is being done in conjunction with a grant fro m the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to Suk-IG Hong, M.D., Ph. D., professo r of physiology. CD James P. Nolan. M.D., has been reappointed to a three-year term as chair of the Ocpanment of Medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. A profeuor of medicine, Nolan is director of the Department of Medicine at the Eric County Medical Center. A member of the school's faculty since 1963, he has been depanmc:nt chair since 1979.

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

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

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

Wagner says the hiring freeze and any further red uction in the Unive rs ity's number of filled posilions " may lead to a further reducti o n in ou r autho rized FTE (Full Time Equivalcnl), beyond the FfE imposed in Seplember." He added: "Depend ing on the ex1en1 of red uc1ion. th e campus may nol be a ble to meet I he reduction thro ugh vacancies and projec1ed turnover." Further, he said, the one per cent OTPS reduclion will likely become permanent. Moreover. he foresees a further reduction in UB's PSR (Personal Services Regular) a ppropriation, less campus ne xibilit y 10 transfe r funds belween budget categories, and fewer resources to support new or expanded activitil;S. "The maximum number o r people that U B (can now) have on the payroU, based on our revised autboriz~sition total, is equal to the number we currently )lave on the payroll, which is 3,934." 4D �November 17, 1988 Volume 20, No. 12 Richard Shaw His work on boundary integral equation methods won him this recognition from a British-based research center. Receives Eminent Scientist Award By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Slatf Reporter " I nstead of doing a three-dimensional problem . yo u ' re doing· a twodimensional problem , or instead of doing a two-dimensional problem . yo u do a o ne dimensional one. '"I get rid of a dimension when I go from a volume to a surface or an area to a line." said Richard P. Shaw. professor of civil engineering. He was explaining the method of computing integrals th at he has devi sed . Shaw was recently recogn ized with the ··co mputational Mechan ics Ins titut e Eminent Scientist Award" for his work in the field of boundary integral equati on method s. That British-based institute is o ne of the leading research-educati o nal centers m this and other areas of engt neering analysis. It is pan of a rargcr co mplex tncludi ng Comp ut ational Mechanics Publications an d an affiliated universi ty, the Wessex Institute of Technology. "The work I was (spcctfically) recognttcd for was the 'pionee ring work· (I did) for my Ph . D. I suspect tt"s reall y a recog nition for the work I've done over I he ye~ r~ . Aboul ha lf of my papers arc in that field . ·· Prof. Sha\.1. \ angina l resea rch in the area of aco usuc shock loading o n struc ture!'~ fo rmed ht !l Ph. D. thests at Columbia whe re he w;.1~ a National Science f- ounda ti on Fcllo" in the Guggenheim lnstllute of Flight Structures. Shaw cx pla1ned how his .. boundary in tegral cqu~uon method s .. save time in calculating certain integrals. What these methods do for mathematicians is the equivalent of allowi ng them to clean a ho use by washing the windows and painting the siding without having to also vacuum the rooms inside. H owever. I he house gets just as clean . An integral is a sum of an infinite number of terms that are almost zero. When so many of these next-to-nothing • numbers are added together. the result is a finite quantit,y. This may represe nt the area between two curves in a plane, the volume of an object in space, the length of an arc. or some other physical property. Integrals can be calculated in one of two primary ways. An anti-derivative can be found which will give an exact value fo r the integral of the function, or else mathematicians can approximate the~ ue of the function at a large number of points and add those values toge ther in a predetermined fashion . T he more points that the mathemat ician uses, in the second method , the more precise the approximation becomes. Given a certain level of precisio n, Shaw's method allows mathematicans. enginee rs. and ph ysicists to usc fewer points Ia achieve that amount of precision than would normally be necessary. "Think about a box ," Shaw said . ··Suppose I break it into a ten by ten grid. That means I have 100 points where I'm solving a differential equation for tempe rature o r st ress or some thin g. If I just count the points on the boundary. I have four sides with ten poi nts. I'm now only solving for 40. but it"s the sa me acc uracy,'' Shaw said. " When you take a 100 by 100 grid. that would have been 10.000 points (at which you would need to evaluate the equation) by area methods but only 40 by boundary methods. If I have a 50 by 50 (grid). on the boundary I have 200 points and in the interior I've got 2.500. Hey. 111 take 200 over 2.500 any day." Eve n though there are fewer points at which mathematitians need to calculate the values of the equation in an actual applicati on, th ere are still enough points to make the ca lculations too ungainly to be done by hand . As a result. most of these calculations are done on com puters. "This is a numerical technique that aJiows you to use the Compu ters more efficiently. lt "s cheaper and faster in many applications," Shaw said. Because of its applicability to computers. this method allows students to begin solving these equations earlier in their academic careers ... Whe,h I was a graduate student, we11idn't have digital computers. A problem that I can give a sop homore today. would have been beyond - not in thinking but in calculating power - a full professor when 1 waS a grad student. .. E ven though Shaw·s method does not require a math ematician to evaluate functions at the interior. once the function ha s been calculated. inside values can be determined . .. If I want interior values afterward, I can get them ... Shaw said . BUl. in man y cases, an engineer won 't need interior values. "Very often, yo u are o nl y interested in the s urface." Shaw said , '"usually what yo u arc interested in is what 's going in and what 's going out. In a lot of engineering pro blems. engineers are content just getting the soluti on on the surface because that's where what you're dealing with is. " Whether it's fluid mechanics, solid mechanics. electromagnetic theory, or heat conduction. th e interesting stuff is happening on the boundary.·· 8 ut like all other generali7..ations. this one docs not hold true in every case. Shaw said. ""There are a Jot of exceptions, int ernal so urces and things like that. " The method has many different applications. '' It's like arithmetic: you can use it for a wide variety of things. " Shaw said . ·· 1 was talking to someone who u..~cd this method to model the human ear as a nuid ; st ructure interaction problem. 1\·c u ~cd it I? model water waves interacti ng with an asland . Other people have used it for electromagnetic problem s. solid mechanics. a nd seis mo logy.·· Shaw said that he got interested in tsu na mi s. Japanese for what we call tidal wa ves . and realized that thi s method can be used to model these killer water n ows. "The tsunamis were something I got interested in when I was in Hawaii. 1 took a sa bbatica l to work at the joint tsunami resea rch effort. "I 've used th is method on water wa\'c problems but I've also done water w ave~ without this method ." Tsunamis are usually staned by an earthquake on the sea noor. As such. Shaw has done so me work with the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research. "The eanhquake center su pponed some of my work on sloshing liquids in tanks in the pas t. They're interested in ts unamis but the first couple years of th e cen ter were aimed at East Coast problems not (those of the) West Coast. ''Tsunamis are more of a Pacific problem than an Atlantic problem because the rim of the Pacific basin has more earthq uakes than the rim of the Atlantic. They happen (in the Atlantic). but the y're very rare." Shaw said the Navy is ano ther group which has shown interest in the boun dary integral element method because the method is useful in modeling many different types of wave, . .. The Novy-ill big on the method of boundary elements because it all relates to underwater sound." · Shaw joined the UB Division of Interdisci plinary Studies and Research in 1962 as an associa te professor. as part of a .group that came here from Pratt Institute under the chairmanship of Professor Irving H. Shames. He is author or editor of more t~an 90 publicatio ns and is .a member of a number of professional societies as well as a registered profes· sio nal engineer in New York State. The award he has received was p;cviously given to such researchers as Prof. Eric Reiss ner of MIT and UCSD. an internation ally known researcher and developer of the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. and Prof. Jerome Connor of MIT. an established researcher in several areas of numerical a nal ysis, among G m~L Feminist film celebration scheduled for December 2-7 film festival titled --screen Play: A Feminist Celebration of Women in Film" will be held Friday.

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

Establ ished in the summe r of 1987. the grant program serves UB faculty and staff members at affiliated health care instituti o ns whose research interests are related to the behavioral a nd social aspects of health . The purpose of the program . according to Center Director James Blascovich, is to insp ire University facult y to seek exte rnal fundin g for int e rdi sciplinar y research in this area. In o rde r to encourage gra nt recipients to seek external fu ndin g. the S3.000 grants are awarded in three parts.

The gra nt reci pient co llects the final portio n of the BASAH award only when h is or her proposal is funded by an external age ncy.

DiMinni said , pointing to all the different traditions listed on the blackboard .); and Solitary (witches. many of whom arc self-initiated. who practice alone). There are a number of holidays assoc iated with witchcraft . DiMinni said. The more po pular include Samhain, Oct. ) I , which celebrates the wi tches' new year. and Yule, Dec. 21. which celebrates the sy mbolic death and rebirth of I he moon goddess. "Bcllane (May I) is a very popular one because il is a celebration of rc:binh .... Dancing around the maypole is the one tradition that has come down and they still practice . ~ "Every group . or coven, will ha ve certain tools th at belong to the whole coven," DiMinni said . They have different symbols inscribed on th e blade. engraved by members of the coven. and mak ing th e tool unique to that group. Tools that have masculine o r feminine attribution arc sy mbolicall y united in rituals. T 0 here also arc a number of tools used in the praclicc of witchcraft. DiMinni said . The circle is an integral part of the practice of witchcraft . and is used to draw down and contain power, and send it out. Its radius. consecrated by salt and water. quite literally is carved in the eanh . Less commonly used as a place of observance is the temple. a permanent sacred place. The altar is a semi-permanent sacred place. where Wiccans place their tools. The 3thom~ is a dagger-shaped knife that, DiMinni said . is never to be used for evil purposes. Traditionally a blackhilled knife. its blade is dull and engraved with symbols of the coven. It's a phallic symbol. DiMinni sa id . Some of the other main tools include the sword, also a masculine symbol that is .. very sacred to them, .. he said: the cauldron, a feminine symbol; the cup, also a feminine: symbol; the wand, another symbol of the male that is used for blessi ng and for directing magical operations, a nd the bell, which is engraved and used to summon and d is miss spirits. DiMinni pointed out that ahhough it is a common mispcrcep tion. ritual sex is not a part of the Wiccan tradition. In part, this misconce ption stems from the Wiccan practice of working "skyclad . .. "They believe that working nude prevents people from pretending to be anything they're not. It's not a sexual thing at aij," DiMinni said . ther important tools and !!.ymbols include the pentacle, an upright five-sided star in a circle. that is the Wiccan symbol of life, and the Book of Shadow. "which is sort of lik e a book of spells." DiMinni said. Crystals and crystal balls also arc importan t tools in witchcraft. he said . "I have a big collection of crystals. but I don '1 ge t a lot oul of them:· he said . "They a rc used as a medium between you a nd energy." He added that different stones have different magical powers attribu ted to them. So how much stock docs DiMinni put in the subject of hi s master's project? ·-rm ske ptical by nature. h a! ways comes down to coincidence. If there is no logical explanation . then it's mystical." he said . "But I think I hey have a pn:uy good cause. A lot of people have very serious beliefs about thi s stuff, but they 're not getting a fatr shake from academia. "Ignorance is the main reason witchcraft has a bad name .... My own perso nal drive is to be their friend and help them." 4D Kenneth A.

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

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

The world hunger problem By KRISTA HUGHES and ALLAN CANFIELD World Hunger n an ave rage American household . a typical family might sit down to cdlnner at six o'clock in the evening, enjoy a pleasant meal, and be clearing away diny dishes within a half-hour's time. Within that span of time over 700 people on this earth will die of hunger. many of them children under the age of five . Over the course of a single day 40.000 people will die of hunger; in a week , over a quarter of a million . Some estimates indicate that as many as one billion people in the world arc cu....,ntly hungry, perhaps 20 million of them in the United States alone. Statistics like these an: staggering in their own right. However, it is even more disturbing to discover that the food which is currently produced worldwide ia enough to provide everyone in the waQILlolith about 3.000 calories a day - rouahly the average daily intake ·for an American - and sufncient protein to survive and nourish. The problem of world hunger. then, doea not hllv~ to cxlat, and yet thousand• are dyina in the Sudan riaht now becauoe they do not have enouah to eat. t lnfortunately. the solut ion to th e I state comes to be seen as normaJ, and the very gradual deterioration is not noticeable from one day to the next. However, the effects of chronic hunger are noticeable from one generation to the nexL Undernutrition can be seen as cyclical, as UNICEF explained in 1982. Babies are born to uodemourished motbers and rely on inadequate breast milk as their sole and how you can help It would be easy to say that in order to stop the hunger cycle's spinning, it is only necessary to control the population, the n:asoning being that the fewer people there are, the more everyone else will have to eat. However, overpopulation does not cause poverty and hunger. Poverty causes overpopulation. Large families make gOO<l economic sense in poor lowered birth rate docs not cause the standard or living to soar. In the above example, the requirement that each son work to put his brother through school results in men marrying later and having fewer children, but also having the ability to support a family of their own more adequately than the men of the previous generation. order to achieve this elevated Ito nargue that wealthier nations should standard of living, it would be simple "The effects of chronic hunger are noticeable from one generation to the next.

The governments of these countries loo k to the M NCs as a means of max imi zi ng the ir o wn profits.

THE WORLD HUNGER INTEREST GROUP (WHIG) unger, ig norance, and powerlessness go hand-inhand . Kn o wledge, on the other hand , is associated with empowerment and effective actio n. It is iro ni c that the resources that are needed to help solve the problems of wo rld hunger are so far removed fro m th ose who experience hunger the most. Conversely. it ma y be that th ose wh o possess the skills. kno wled ge. and understand ing to help solve the pro blems o f world hunge r have th e least re ason to do so - they may have little personal experience with the problem. H Fo nunately. more than 200 co lleges and uni versities throughout the United S tates are beginning to focus o n the A- By SUE WUETCHER News Bureau Staff S problems of world hunger. Brown, Swarthmo~. Colgate, Cornell, California Polyte<:hnic State University, Purdue. and scores of others have programs designed to educate youth, faculty , and staff about world hunger. Recently a conference at Colgate dealt with the issues behind International Food Security . At UB. in lhc summer of 1987, a small group of faculty, students, and staff members met to form the World Hunger Interest Group (WHIG). The goals of WHIG were to include the following: To help raise consciousness about the problem of world hunger; to conduct activities and promote understanding and solutions to the problem of hunger; to attempt to develop courses and programs of study to focus on world hunger. and . to network between colleges and universities where there are similar programs. WHIG is not a gloom and d oom group. Rather. we believe that positi ve steps can and should be taken to focus on understanding and alleviating the problems of world hunger. There are. after all, many success stories to be told . In WHIG we want these success stories to increase as futu.n: generations come to grips with a shrinking world , an interdependent global society, and a burgeoning population. The alternative, of course, is to become psychically numbed by the complexity of the problems behiod world hunger. At UB we have technical and cultural resources to be found in few universities. We need to focus more upon tbe critical problem of world hunger, to help find solutions, and to help launch a more enlightened generation of students, some of whom will be our next political leaders. The members of WHIG invite you to take part in our organization. If you are a faculty member, you might offer a workshop. teach a course, or present a talk. If you are a student, you might generate activities to raise consciousness and get a first·hand glimpse of hunger problems right in Buffalo. If you are a professional or suppo rt staff member, why not take pan by organizing activities and sharing your skills with us? Letters £3.a.ta.n.c_e_ .tacking? I!DITOR: On October 20. 1988. I spoke at a seminar at the University on the subject of Human Rights of Ptoplt with AIDS. One of your -reporters wu there and covered the story (or your publication. It appeared in the October 27 edition and my lcllcr is in response to that anicle. Firs&, I would like to mention that your reporter djd not make his praence known to me before the stan of the dbawion.

Doctorates in· Business are lagging, study shows There was only one instance when a priest did not respond immediately when as ked 10 bring Communion to a n AIDS patient. no1 several. And as I mentioned during the discuss ion, th is was over three years ago. when due to a lack of information many professionals. su&:h as docton . lawyers. and even un ive rsity profess ors. were understandably fearful. When I ment ioned the example of the priest, it was not to suggest another category of discrimination. but to point out that all people, despite their basic goodwill. must confront the irratjonal fean that might ca~ them to act inappropriately in the instance of AIDS. I abo want to point out that when your reporter wrote ""1'be Roman Catholic Church wu init.ially not receptive to the idea, • be did not say eoouaJ> because be left the reader with the imprcuion that Lhil wu another example of discrimination on the part of the Church. That wu miJieldina. There OR other facto11 that need to be lakcn into consideration before one can judae the respo'noe or tbe Chun:h in this iDJtance. In aeneraJ, your reporter~ article lacked balance. h ICemcd to report only thOle thinp that reinforced the notions of opposition lllld dlacriminatioo. I, howeV<:r, lllllde It elcat that I bad no horror llory to tell but rather am proud of the way the community in BufraJo has been trying. more or less successfully. to deal with iu fears . I also respect the way our new neighborh ood has been dealing with the great challenge we have put before them. If we wam to help eliminate the fear and prejudice th at surrounds AIDS and persons (not vict irus) with AIDS. then we have to be very careful to publish only accurate and well balanced information and not succumb to the kind of overgeneralization and sensationalism that sells newspapeD. I hope: you will give my comments some consideration and allow them to temper some of the weU-intcntioned, but nevertheless. misleading statements that appeared in tbe October 27 llticle. 0 SiocereJy youn, (REV.)

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

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

He was the only president to se rve two nonconsecutive terms. On June 2, 1886, President Cleveland married Frances Folsom, 22, of Buffalo, the daughter of his law panner. The wedding took place in the White House and was followed by a 21-gun salute from the navy yard and the chiming of the city's church bells. The couple had ·•· four children. The presidential campaign of 1988, with li ts tone of sanctimony and revelations of questionable personal behavior on the pan of one-undidate after another, might have a familiar ring to Grover Cleveland and James GiUespie Blaine.

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

This clinical effort to assist in creating ..and maintaining jobs is expected to become full y operational by the fall of 1989. Pitegoff plans to teach a variety of courses to co mplement the clinical program including a seminar on sim ulated worker-ownership transactio ns. Between his stint of teaching schoo; and his e ntry into law school, Pitegoff served from 1975 to 1976 as community organizer for the National Association for the Southern Poor in eastern North Carplina , a grassroo ts program for economic and civil rights in rural black communities, and from 1976to 1978 as community organizer for the Citizens Action League at Oakland, California, an inner city neighborhood organization seeking better municipal services and state-wide tax reform. 4D COIBCIIOII Lasl week's profile of art professor William Kinser misslales lwo poinls.

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

A hot line th at has one con nectio n: straight to the Kremlin. Actually. these phones are more of an intercom. to be used only in case of an emergency.

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

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

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

Finally, those afkcted are ad vtSed to kee p records, get a witness. and wnte a letter to the harasser, to be deli vered tn person or by cenified mail. •• Jn th e unlikely event the letter fails to stop th< harassme nt, .. the brochure states. "it can later be used to document retal iation or in support of a formal complaint or .. lawsuit." The brochure adds: " If the haras>< r persists in repeating verbal or phystcal acts of a sexual nature, or if the initial in cident is highly disturbin g o r humiliating, request a meeting with the approp riate department chair o r untt head .

INTRODUCTION In my State of the Uni versi ty Address last yea r I focused on the fact that 1987 marked the silver anniversary of the merger of the private Unive rsi ty of Buffalo with the State Unive rsity of New Yo rk System. On that occasio n I was particularly inte res ted in highligh ting the pectacular gains we have made ove r the past 25 years as we have grown from a med ium-sized pri va te university to a comprehensive public resea rch universit y the dramatic ex pansio n of o ur faculty and stud en t body. of ou r physical plant and ope rating budget . and of our degree program s and resea rc h effons. But 1 also ho ped at that tim e to draw attention to the special tasks imposed on us by the change to a l.~rger. more complex institution, to an institution more strongly oriented than ever before to graduate education and research , and more conscious of its role as an emerging nati onal center of academic excellence. In particul ar. I stressed at that time the need to reshape the academic environment for our undergraduates so as to place the tremendous intellectual and cu ltural wealth of the Universi ty more immediately and more manageably at their disposal. and I ci ted the first year's work of the Undergraduate College as a significa nt beginni ng of that task. This year I sho uld li ke once again to celebrate a special anniversary. and to expand so mewh at on las t yea r's them e. In d oin g so I shall depart fro m the aims and form at of State of the Uni vers ity Addresses in years past, all of which have been la rgely devoted to reporting o n the preceding year's acco mplishments. ~r this month I gave just such an accounting of the past year in the form of the President's Annua l Report to the Universit y Council. which was printed in the October 13 edition of the Reporter. Whence Come her & Wh zt Go the Liberal Arts & Sciences? e Thus today's address to the acade mic community will not be a report at all, but rather an attempt to raise some fundamemal questions about the liberal arts and sciences. both in the historical context of these disciplines here at UB. as well as in the la rger co nte xt of the American academy. An Address to the Academic Co mmunity of the State University of New York at Buffalo by Steven B. Sample President of the University October 31 , 1988 II. THE ARTS AND SCIENCES AND THE MAKING OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO This year marks the Diamond Jubilee of the founding of the Art s and Sciences at the University of Buffalo . Seventy-fa ve years ago this fall, in September of 1913 , so me 67 years after the founding of the University as a medical school, UB offered its first program of stud y in the liberal arts. Though the College of Arts and Sciences was not formally established until seve n years later. the offeri ng of the first arts and sciences courses in 1913 has traditionall y bee n celebrated as the birthdate of the College itself. One could not imagine a less spectacular beginning - in fact as well as in nam e - than the beginning of the Ans and Sciences at UB. Not only was the..new curriculum offered under the modest and cautious title of .. Co urses in Arts and Sciences." but the courses were taught entirely by racult y bo rrowed from UB's alread y existing Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy and from the local high schools. The high school teachers were paid the princely sum of two doll ars an hour for their time in the class room! Furthermore, these courses were taught only in the afternoon s, because that was when the borrowed facult y were free from their other duties, and when classroom space (another borrowed resource) happened to be available in the building of the . Medical and O.:ntal Schools. The first arts and sciences office likewise consisted of no more than two desks in the librarian's room of the medical building - borrowed furniture in yet another borrowed spaCe:. When the Buffalo Everring News marked the occasion by cheering, somewhat optimistically, for "small things rightly planted ," the "small things" were the indisputably factual part of that statement. Not only was this beginning small and makeshift, and in so me quite literal se nse marginal - which is to say , simply tucked in around the edges of everything which then constituted the University - it was also quite remarkably accidental. These first courses in English, history, languages, mathematics, biology. physics, and chemistry came into being not because the members of the Universit y communit y chose them, not because the City of Buffalo had finally voted or private citizens had finall y pledged fund s for a college of liberal arts, and not because the found ing vision of UB's first Chancellor, Millard Fillmore, had finall y prevailed. No, they came into being simply because, of all things, the Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association had recently issued new guidelines. According to the AMA 's new rules. if U8's medical school were to retain its Class A standing it would have to re~uirc at least one preliminary year of college stud y of all of its entering st ud en ts. Since such liberal arts st ud y v.•as not readil y avai lable to medical students in th e local area, and since the local area was the so urce of most of the medical school's stude nts at that time, it followed th at UB would have to provide its ow n liberal a rts co urses. For that reaso n, and non e ot her. were th e co urses in a rts a nd sciences begun : they were the ironic child of the very professions whose narrow ness it was th eir fu ncti o n a nd destin y to co rrect. In th is chan cy and provisio nal way the o rigi nal drea m of Millard Fillmore for the Universi ty of Buffalo was finally reali zed so me 67 years after its co ncepti on. For Fillmore's d rea m in 1846 was that the o riginal instituti on. chartered as a universi ty but o nly a medical school in fact. would q uickly add a d ivision of li be ral arts, another of the ology. and anot her of law, and thus become a real uni versi ty. By th is evolution the Uni ve rsi ty of Buffalo wo uld grow int o its nam e and its charter. For the entire 28 years of hi s Chancello rship. howeve r, Fillmore failed to bring about the establishment of the Arts and Sciences at U 8 , and the failure continued beyond his time.

Dentistry. and Pharmacy came int o being in the late ninetee nth ce ntury, but it seemed that a College of Arts and Sciences co uld come into ex istence only with its own endowment. si nce. unlike th e professio nal sc hools. it could not be supported by student fees a lone. Fund · appeal after fund appeal failed to produce such an endowment - that is. until afler the AMA fo rced the first liberal arts courses into ex istence. In spite of a ll th is history. it was in fact the establishment of the Arts and Sciences here that allowed UB to become a real universit y. That develo pment was completed over the seve n years follo~ing the offering of the first liberal arts co urses in 191 3.' A one-year program became a two-yea r program, then three, then four. The course offerings grew into a department, and the department grew into a Coll ege with depanments of its own. Tllc operation moved from borrowed space to a building of its own. and it acq uired the beginnings of a permanent endowment. The endowment. in turn , allowed for th e hiring of full-time faculty . In 1920 the seve n-year gestation period was completed, and the College of Arts a nd Sciences assumed full , distinct, and official existence, and was authorized to grant its own degrees. It was with th is event that U 8 became a true university, because it was the establishment of th e College of Arts and Scie nces that gave an academic a nd intellectual center . to what had been otherwise little more than a confederallon of professional sc hools. The names most closely associated with the founding of the College of Arts and Sciences arc hou se hold word s for us today. It was M~s- Grace Knox wh o in 1916 pledged a half College m mill ion dollars to establish an endowment for the 1 honor of her recently deceased husband , Seymo ur Knox. Sr. Seymour S r.'s son , Seymour ll. who was a member of the University Council from 1920 to 1969 and chairman from 1949 to 1969, guided UB through its merger with the SUNY System: he conti nues to se rve the University as Chairman Emeritus of the Council to this very day. Seymour Sr.'s grandso n, Nonhrup. now se rves as the nation al chairman _of UB 's first ca pital campaign as a public university. Just tha s past month the Kno x famil y pledged one million dolla rs to the campaign to endow programming in the University's new Fine Arts Center. The Arts and Sciences College's first building, in downtow n Buffalo. was the gift of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, and it bore the name of ~he Union 's founder. Mrs. Harriet Townsend . the present Townsend Hall on the South Campus continues her memory, just as the more recently qpencd Park Hall on the North Campus memorializes the remarkable fort y-year academic career of the College's first Dean, the historian Julian Park. Professo r Park was a member of the original arts and sciences faculty in 1913. and went on to lead the College through its first 34 years. In his later years he was the College's chronicler as well. Even to this day our best sense of the College's early and middle years comes from its history as Julian Park lovingly and devotedly wrote it. Nor should we forget those who shaped and made possible the development of the College of Arts and Sciences in the crucial years beginning in 1920. We arc especially indebted to the trio of Walter P. Cooke, A. Glcnni Bartholomew, and James H. McNulty, who organized the 1920 fund drive which raised live million dollars, thereby allowing UB to begin in earnest the development of an academic campus at Main Street and Bailey Avenue. We should also remember especially C hancellor Samuel Capen, who inspired a nd guided UB's development after 1922. As we approach the end of our own move to still another new campus following our entry into the SUNY System, we may lind an uncanny anticipation of ourselves in the comments of a cenain R . L. Duffus, who observed of the Main and Bailey Cllrfi pus in 1936: "The campus, with its new buildings, several miles �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 from the _c~ nte~ of the city, still had a pioneer air about it Ma ny of the arts and sciences disci plines see m determined to imitate the professions, cloaking themselves in their ow n special languages and methodo'!ogies as prete nses to selfsufficiency. But in thi s way they rl.Wl the risk of being relegated to the status of second-class com.petitors on the playing field defined by the professions. In a n in tellect ua l world in which knowledge is no t O ne. and in whic h the Emersonian ideal of the Who le Man has linle power to att ract o r eXci te. it is understandable that the liberal arts and scie nces should increasingly follow what see ms to be the most viable alternative mod el - that of the professio nal sc hools. But in so doing they forsake their catholic o rigins and perspective for the relative security of introspection and self-validation. Thus in our cenliJIY the professio ns have achieved a when I VIS_lle d 11 l~st year: and o ne though t rather of growth and expenme nt auon than of traditions." The College of Arts and Sciences affirmed the liberal arts as thc _core of the University and the agent of its coherence ali an ante! l ect~al enterprise. From th at point on the history of the Umversn y has been close ly intertwined wi th th at of the Arts a nd Sciences: the developme nt under Chancell or Cape n of a un iq ue undergraduate curricu lum th at became nationally recognized: growth in the number of liberal arts programs from ten ~n 1920 to sixteen in 1932; the creation of a Graduate Sc hool of Ans and Sciences in 1939· the forma ti on within Arts and Sciences in 1958 of a' Unive rsi ty ~allege for first and second-year students: a nd , not msignifican tl y. the ge neration of still mo re professional sc hools. now by a process of se paration from the academic core.

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

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

Rather . o ur pnn c1pal ObJeCt should be the unpredi cta ble release of intellectual energy whic h occurs by co nnec ting within o ne mind two widely se parated field s of tho ught. To find the heroes of this process of intellectual ~ntcgrat~on, we must look to the Grea t S traddlers: to Darwm the mneteenth centu ry. who hrought Malthusian economic t~eory. to bear on the puule of evolutionary change in the btologtcal world; and to co ntemporaries like Norben Wiener! the founder_of the field of cybernetics, who worked deeply 10 mathemattcs and thermodynamics and co~mu?i~tion thea~; and _lllya Prigogine. whose Nobel Pnze-wmna~g w~rk t~ chemistry led him to exp lore even larger quest tons tn phtlosophy and literature. 10 At the boundaries, at the pomts of interconnection between separated field s of knowledge . anything can happen .

About five yea rs ago we were privileged to ha ve on th t!! campus a special exhibit of some of the works of Leonard o da Vinci .

A ~ a consequence he is remembered tnd.l\ '1' u ne of the world's most important artists - not JUSt 11 ' ' 1nt· 1 who created beautiful things. but as an artistic pi onet'r "h' had a maJ Or influence on subsequent generatio ns of art 1' 1' for hundred s of years. I spe nt many enjoyable hours looking at the wo rh ''' Leo nardo in this exhibit. Again and again I was l"_lprc ,,~.:d by the breadth of his mind . His was not a superfictal breadth . Leonardo was not a superficial engineer .. no r :t superficial anatomist. He didn't possess a superficaal . 1 knowledge ofyigmentation and color. He certainly wa!-.n 1 ' superficial antst. On the contrary, he was able to com prehend a wide range of ideas in gn:at depth. and bnn g them together in a way that serves as a paradigm for th e Ans and Sciences to this day. We in our time would do well to take Leonardo as our model. We should of course: continue to value academiC specialization, and the special intellectual contribution!o. of the professional schools. But all of us in the academy. irr~spective of profession or discipline, must work . ass tduously for the re-integration of the Anrand Science!~ . and for the re~tablis hment of the liberal arts as the coherent intellectual core of the University. 4D �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 Major face-lift planned for Harriman Hall cafeteria • Total cost of the project will be $240,000 with FSA and the University each paying half for the upgrade n-· By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN Reporter Stal1 A major face-lift is about to occur on the Main Street Campus. but no physician will be opera ting. Harr iman Hall's cafeteria is about to be remodeled. ""We looked at the Main Street Campus and determined that the greatest need was in Harriman since the Diefendorf Annex (food service facility) will be closing ... said Kevin Seitz. director of financial and auxiliary services and al so secretary of th e Faculty Student Association (FSA). The annex facilities are not expected to close until the end of next semester . .. We looked at Harriman to see what would be th e best way to use the facility with the understanding that, in the future, Theatre and Dance will be moving to Am Kerst. The thought is th at Harriman will become the 'Main Street Student Union .' .. Already, Harriman houses several student clubs. especially in the basement. Down there is a recreation room , the Off-Campus Housing Office, and offices for Generation, the student week ly magazine. These are just a few of the student organizations centered around Harriman. " It makes sense to put money into this now, " Seitz said ... It 's solving an immediate problem and planning for the future ."' D iefendorf Annex used to be a major food service facility bu t its size has been scaled back because of space demands. Space there has been reduced because of the needs of the University for academic space. And Harriman had not had work done on it for quite a while. "We're gomg ahead on a renovation as a joint project with the University, the result of which will be to cast a totally new look in Harriman." said Leonard Snyder:-associate vice president and controller and also treasurer of FSA. Usually, FSA fina nces renovations to existing food service facilities by itself, but Harriman is a different matter. "We're really remodeling an old facility but since we're being moved out of Diefendorf Annex~ it's a larger project I han we normally budget for," Seitz noted. Total cost of the project will be $240,000 with UB and FSA each paying halL 2222' Floor plan shows proposed renovations for Harriman Hall. I I r _j - :. je,c_, -- l:'-. '' '" v~ ,...

We're going to redo the whole dining area," Seitz said - ''new floors, new fixtures, gene rally fix it up. We're going to take the current serving area and make it dining ... In the main dining area, the wall will be moved back in order to make room for a new serving area. In addition, "what is now a ticket office. an office, and a bathroom, will be opened up for more seating." Seitz said . P art of the impetus to redo Harriman comes from a need for more upscale dining facilities ... Two other reasons for doing something are student programming and, also, the fact that the health scie nces have catered events. and there is no facility to accommodate them on the Main Street Campus," Seitz said. Good· year X is too small to hold so me of the functions, he reported. TO ON...G I FOOD 5enV:C:: "When Theatre and Dance move to the Fine Arts Center at Amherst, Harriman will become the Main Street Student Union .. . ." After this phase of renovation, catered events will probably be centered in the new dining area to be constructed where the serving is done now. Once the Theatre and Dance Department is moved to the Fine Arts Center. Food Service will inherit that space also. ""The plan is that the theatre wing of Harriman will eventually be turned over to FSA and will be turned into the catering area on the Main Street Campus ... Seitz indicated. T he renovation process has already begun. "The bids have gone out ." said Valdemar lnnus, associate vice president for University services. Seitz said that a contract will probabl y be signed soon. ..The contractor has done work for us before: the Rathskell er and the Student Club," Seiu said. • "The contractor will like ly begin (work) during Christmas break,'" according to Snyder. The project will probably take several months ... We: would anticipate it being finished in the spring semester. " added Seitz.

The question will be debated lomorrow by Canadian and American speakers in a Law School colloquium on "Language as V'tOience vs. Freedom of Speech: Canadian and American Perspectives on Group Defamation." The program will take place from t :30 10 5:30 p.m. in 106 O'Brian. Jewish Holocausl survivors living in Skokie, 111 .. thought there were Indeed limits to free speech when neo~Nazis wanled lo march through their lown. Bul· in lhe Uniled States, there are no criminal provisions to stop such. groups from spreading lheir message ol hale. Thai is not the case in Canada. however. where the approach I? the issue differs from our own. The question of what cons!1tutes tree speech is currentty being debated in the Canad1an press and is being challenged in Canadian courts. In a recent case. for instance, Ernst Zundel was convicted in Ontario for a second time for spreading false news aboullhe Holocaust - he said it never happened and was sentenced to nine months in )ail. In Augusl. in a separale case. lhe Onlario Court of Appeals upheld the criminal conviction of two members of lhe wMe supremac1s1 Nalionalist Party ol Canada lor willfully promoling haired againsl an identifiable group. Two monlhs earlier. lhe Alberta Court ol Appeals decided differenlly, asserting lhal such hale-propaganda laws were an unconstitutional infring_ement on tree speech. That decision tnvolved a successful appeal by high school leacher James Keegslra who had wi!Hully promoted haired against Jews in the classroom. Fealured speakers will include: • Kalhleen Mahoney. professor ol law allhe Umversily of Calgary 1n Alberta. whe approaches lhe issue from a feminist perspective. She believes t~me restrict1ons are juslniable - especially when lhe !lfoup being mahgned is women and the concern is pornography. • Alan Borovoy. longlime general counsel 10 lhe Canadian Civil Uberties Associa110n and the author ol When Freedoms Collide: The Case lor Our Civil Liberties. • David Goldberger. professor of law at Oh10 Stale Unrversity and the lead counsel in the American Civil Uberties Umon case defending the right of the neo-Nazis in Skokie. • Barry Brown. a syndicaled journalist who wr~es lor lhe Toronlo bureau of I he Buffalo News, among other media. • Jamie Cameron. professor of law al Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronlo and an authority on both U.S. and Canadian constilutional law. • Mari Malsuda. professor ol law at lhe Universily o1 Hawan.

He adds: "The basic appeal ollhe play moves beyond lhe various crilical conlroversies (which by now have enveloped almosl every aspecl). " Ralher, lhe appeal comes from ~s capacily 10 freshly and peskily quesllon our usual assumptions about political order and disorder. aboul whallhe leader of a counlry musl do. or can do, lo gel away from lhe ~kes of Falstatl; and about our own doubls as lo whether we desire lo put FalstaH in his place al all.

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

" In Frana:, women failed to gain any righu for political participation. While most males gained what was termed "passive citizenship," women (and slaves) were deliberately · denied these righu. Likewise, they could not own their own property, and they "couldn't take up work in their own right." These discriminatory practices and philosophies soon became codified in the Jaw establis hed during the period between 1789 and 1815. The Code Napoleon. which Vogel described as a summary of Enlightenment ideas and a framework for the emerging bourgeois society, granted the right of contract. Abolishing feudalism, this code eliminated all fundamental distinctions based on birth and rank. The Code's section on marriage Jaw, however, contradieu all or these funda· mental ideals, Vogel asscned. The relationship between husband and wife was to be on<: of "dominance and subjection," sinee the "husband was to be the bead and master of !be marriage. She added: This law entitled the husband tel&<>mpletely have control over the wife's freedom of mo't"ment. The result, she affirmed, was the "incapacily of the wife to act as her own person in public." A rguments were raised to justify these: actions. The "a:nainty of paternity" argumenl maintained that "only if a woman is kept under control can the husband be sure that the children she bean will be his own. " Underlying these repressive actions was a belief in the imponaoa: of some traditional structures. Vogel summarized the view this way: ..It is1 •• , in a sense, fundamental to the public order that !be marriage is based on lhe husband 's power over the wife." Men feared the destructive effect on society that equal rights and freedoms - irrespective of gender - would bring. abe ldded. Similarly, this unfair treatment was molivated by a fear of women's sexuality. Rouueau, for example, said that women could destroy men because of their "iDJ&tiable sexual appetites." Con· sequently, men and women were punished differently for the crime of adultery. The wife's ldultery entailed higher penalties in ternu of both fines and imprisonment than !be husband's. Other Enlightenment philosophers attempted to jwtify these policies. Defining marriage as ~a contract for lhe mu· 1ual use of the other person's sexual organa," Kant argued lhat one person in the marriage relationship must have sov· ereignty in the marriage relalionship to maintain iu unity. Naturally, that one person was the man. The failure or the Enlightenme nt th inkers to seriously question this issue, Vogel said , contra· dieu tbeir "critical drive" and their attacks on institutions that failed to meel !be standards of reason. that libeny, equality, and fraternity applied equally to men and women.

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

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

These images can be typography, illustration, or "photographics" {photography as used by graphic designers). According to Kinser, "they serve the same purpose; that is. persuasion and explanation." Kinser recentJy examined this mixture of visual and verbal communication in his book, Th~ El~m~nts of W~st.rn Typographic Style.

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

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

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

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

H eroin for, • codeine, a sometimes is potentially tricky to test Lubowsk. i said, because legal prescription drug, can test positive in tests that attempt to dete<:t heroin . ... Heroin is rapidJy converted to morphine. Mor· phine itself is a metabol ite of both heroin and codeine. "If you find just morphine. the person was probably taking it illicitly. If you lind morph1ne and codeine. the person was probably taking a prescription drug." Since morphine is refined from poppies, then: has been concern that people who eat poppy seeds may be fingered as heroin abusers. She cited a test that found that after eating 25 grams of poppy seeds, all voluntceB tested positive for heroin after three hours. This raised some concern about baked goods containing poppy seeds. But she n:assun:d her audience. "Twenty-five grams could easily be in a third of a cup but the person would have to eat a whole poppy cake" to ingest that much. S everal sticky legal questions, in addition to false positives, surround drug testing, Lubowski said. "The first issue is that of witnessed collection. You have to weigh the right tel privacy versus the integrity of the tests. " Lubowski said it is possible to add substances to urine samples that will make them appear drug free in the tests. "Sodium chloride (table salt) was found to produce false negatives in tests. Common bathroom soap has also been indicated to cause false negatives." However, tbe chromatographic assays won' be fooled , even iftbe screening tests are. "Once you have the confirming tests, they would pick it (dtllg use) up" because these are more sensitive. ...The next issue is · making sure you know who handled tbe sample through every step," said Lubowski. She said this knowledge is crucial to make sun: nothing is added to the sample and that the urine doesn' get switched. As a result, each sample must be accompanied by a sheet, which everyone who touches the sample is required to sign. Sbe concluded that tbere is nor much risk of false positives.

Instead , participants were treated to fresh fruits and vegetables with low-fa t dip, sod a pop, and a tasty, tangy punch called Red Satin made from apple and cranberry juice. In addition to the foods suggested by Kohn (see box o n page 16), fish oils are fine if you use them instead of saturated fats in your e;tiet. If you supplement your diet with these oils. he emphasized, it's only goi ng to make you fat. Shellfish have some cholesterol, but they also have a lot of unsaturated fat. So they're li ne, but watch the drawn butter. he added. Kohn suggested that two drinj<s a day can elevate the levels o f H DL, the beneficial cholesterol. But more than two dri nks a day ca n pose other problems. " I don't know if (it helps reduce the risk of heart di sease) because it increases HDL or because it's a sociall y accepted tra nquilizer th a t makes you feel better," Kohn said . " If some bod y enjoys drinking, I might allow him two drinks a night. But I • . 16 wouldn\ recommend it as therapy for a teetotaler.... here's a whole list of drugs that can lower cholesterol, but all have drawbacks, Kohn said. Each drug has its own set of possible side effects. For instance, Nicotinic Acid can cause flushing, gastritis, nausea and malaise. You11 feel lousy for a week , Kobn promised , then these side effects generally disappear. Nicotinic Acid can also cause abnormal results on tests of liver function. T The cost can be another drawback . Prescriptions may run SIOO a month. And after a while, a single drug may be no longer effective and the doctor may turn to a combination of drugs. " But when you consider what th is costs, the patient may be taking S200 or $300 worth of drugs," Kohn noted. • If the patient also happens to have hypertension or something else, be has $200 more of that medication. The patient must be very rich indeed. "When you're dealing with real patients, you've got to be aware of the "Two drinks a day can elevate the levels of HGL, the beneficial type of cholesterol, but more than two drinks a day can pose other kinds of problems . . . ." costs of all these medicatio ns yo u're ordering or you won\ have a very big practice very long. " Kobn says he hopes that new cholesterol drugs will spark enough competition among drug companies to bring the price down. •u the patient is concerned about the price of drugs, the only alternative we can offer them is diet and they will have to modify their behavior and stick to that diet the rest of their life," he noted. But this diet is not well accepted by Americans, he added. HiJ point '\'IS illustrated by a 27-year-old woman in the audience. Her mother had had a stroke, she explained, and she was concerned about her own cholesterol levels. At what point would Kohn prescribe medication, she asked, ad ding that she's not go ing to give up pizza and chicken wings for the rest of her life. "That 's one of your choices," Kohn said . " You know the risks, and you've got to be willing to accept them." When to prescri be drugs is a very indivi duali zed thing , Kohn said , and strongly recommended a rigid diet for the woman. He pointed out that if she planned to get pregnant, she should avoid med ication si nce we don't know the effects on the deve loping fetus. Physicians tend to overlook the contributions of co-professio nals such as nutritionists to get somebody to alter their diet. Kohn remarked in answer to a question . Yeagle also pointed out that there is a whole family of risk facto rs for heart di sease, including family hiltory, age, sex . smoking, and exercise. Cholesterol levels can't be: considered in isolation. (D A guide to 'Drum' "It had a distinct style & flavor due to its creative and gifted staff. It is no longer the same." South African magazine was unique . I By ED KIEGLE Reponer Stall twas a unique scene to see in South Africa in the 1950s. A ne wspaper office where charismatic. spontaneous black wri ters mixed with their white co-workers despite the tightening of apartheid by the new government. Described by UB's Dorothy Woodson as " th e best black African newspaper I magazi ne in history," Drum served as a means of expression for writers in South Africa during some of the most turbulent years of its history. Woodson. an associate librarian at Lockwood tibrkry, has recently pul>ilhed a book entitled Drum: an Index to Africa's uading Magazine, /95/-1965. The project was a natural outgrowth of ber extensive work in African studies, which focuses on the speeches and writings of Alben J . Luthuli, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1960 and one-time president of the African National Conference. The years covered by the index were, in Woodson 's words, "an extremely important decade in coniemporary South African hiJtory." Following the election of the National Party in 1948, there was a dramatic increase in the amount and severity of apartheid legiJiation. "During tbe 'SOs, there was a tremendous blossoming of the opposition press in South Africa," she added. '"The writings of the time included more radical rhetoric Shan anything seen in the West about Africa. • One of Drum's diJtinctions was lbe fact that ill writioa staff consiJted solely of black authors. •Most of the authors grew up in the townships," said Woodson. ·It was very dangerous living in the townships, which YICn: black ghettos when: non-whites wen: fon:cd to live," she continued. ·11 gave tbe magazine a certain appeal, because the writers drew from township life." T he magazine sometimes included exposes that examined "official abuses" in South Africa. Henry Nxumalo was a notable expose writer whose report , •Mr. Drum Goes to Jail," caused the government considerable embarrassment by expoci111 conditions at Johannesburg Central Prison. "He was later killed in the course of biJ work," Woodson remarked. "It wasn\ a political magazine , ~r u," she said. Actually, it was originally intended to be a monthly, non-political forum for black writen. • Drum had a diJtinctive style and flavor due to ill lifted aod creative staff of writen," added Woodson. In the early yean of Drum, about 150 short stories wen: published, many of which dealt with township life or lbe effect on blacks of tbe increasing restrictions imposed by lbe govemmenL • A number of lbe fiction writers went on to areat success," Woodson sajd , The list includes Ezekiel Mpbahlele, Can Tbemba, Lewis Nkosi, Todd Matsltikiza, and Nat N akasL In 1964, Drum faced increasing pressure from the gove111ment, Woodson stated . • After the Rivonia trial of 1964, free and honest reponing became diffi· cult if not dangerous. In 1965, Drum ceased being independently published. • Drum does continue, she admitted . "But it's a different Drum, controlled by the governmenL Jim Bailey, who was editor, was fon:ed out of business. • During the three yean Woodson worked on the book, she found it challenging to track down copies of Drum. "The original copies 011 microfilm were less than perfect - much of it was unrudable, "she said of the copies in the Scbombers Collection at the New York Public Library. The problem was that these were the only holdings of Drum in the United States. '"Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for lbe Humanities, I was able to travel lplook atlbe paper copies at tbe Rhodes House in Oxford, lbe School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, aod tbe Royal Commonwealth Society Library in London," Woodson said. There was only one olber big problem: "Use of pseudonyms." Woodson explained ; "Drum was a pioneer in the use of exposes to boost aales and expose official abuses. Many authon - such u Henry Nxumalo - put their lives at stake. • Another reason ror pseudonyms was the variable quality oftbe fiction . •Some of it was awful," Woodson confided. D eciding what to put in the index was not a problem, accordina to the author. •1 included virtually everythina. With the exception of advice to the lovelorn aod gardening tips. for example." The book · will appeal primarily to those interested in South African history aod to South Africans themselves. It will also be of use to scholan in the United Kingdom, which bas well-developed African studies programs. In lbe futun:, Woodson sajd, she will continue to research tbe opposition preu of South-Africa, aod is applyina for anolber grant in order to talce advantase of lbe collections in Great Britain. 4D �November 3, 1988 Volume 20, No. 10 UBriefs UB's own teaching hospital I_~ .~. ~..1~ .~?~. ~.~~ce Jen reappointed to M&T Chair A Buffalo NrwJ article: that hinted UB mi&ht get its own teaching hospital c:ruted interest on campus laJt week, but the upshot i.s that there is almost no chance of that happenina. according to Aodrew Rudnick, president of the Greatc:T Buffalo Dcvt:lopment Foundation and executive ~eeretary ofthe Western New York Health Sciences Co nsortium.

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

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

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

All data, he added, will be gathered through penonal interviews. The year-loag State study will be used by the Legislature to determine what 1 additiooal resources are nccdcdN ~ improve the !ivins standard of ~ York's African-American elders.

"I think that I have experienced the fact of discrimination from the very beginninx of this project. I have fought discrimination at every level, often not knowing what it was. Even as a profes.. sional, one is still susceptible to basic human fean and passions." Benedict House originated when Crosby realized. that individuals with AIDS were not having their basic needs fulfilled, a realization that began when several Catholic prieau refused to administer communion to an AIDS patient.

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

ANN WKTatE11 Weetcly ~ Editor -WARREN BUTTON �October '0, 11118 Volume 20, No. II Sexism -in class "Racial bias is evil. We know that, but what about bias on the basis of sex? It happens in most class settings." Girls suffer from unequal treatment By CHRIS VIDAL PubHcations Stall iris are treated differenlly than boys In the clusroom, and their education suffel'l u a ""ult. But teacher awareness, combined with some trainina, can combat the problem. This is the meuaae relayed by David Sadker, profeuor of education at the American Univel'lity In Wuhinaton, D.C. Sadker spoke here Oct. 21 u pan of the Office or Teachin1 Effectiveness' fall conference, "Sexism in the Clus· room ... Gender blu In clusroom interaction• is an "invisible problem " that beain• In elemenllry school and contlnuu throuah all levels of post-~econdary education, Sadker uid . G T o prove his point, he set up a "clusroom" In the front. of the Katharine Cornell Theatre audience . " I'm going to demonstrate the research and I'm going to make it blatant," he sa id. •eat ing hi s four volunteer "lludents." Collecting an imaalnary homework auianment from the tirat of hla four "puplla," Sadkcr complimented "Rachel" on her line penmanship and the neatnesa of the uslanment. "Leah" wu told she answered two quellions Incorrectly and her usianment wu handed back. "Dan" wu told that he had three Incorrect answel'l and Sadker suaaelled where he could look for correct answel'l in future usianmenta, addina"l know you can do better." "Bob" said the doa ate his homework, and after a brid dilcussion, Sadker told "Bob"to sec him after clUJ. A hlatory leuon followed . "Did you notice any biu7" Sadker uked hil audience after about 10 minutes of role playina. he fll'lt comment cona:rned the way Rachel was treated - or i111ored. By complimenting Rachel on her handwritina, Sadker uid, and then ignonna her, "I wu creating a profile" of the female lludent ~bo il rewarded for her pel'lonal appearance and for the appearance of her work, but not for its content. These students teod to become silent, pUiive non-participants, Sadker said. Sadker noted that approximately 25 per cent of any elementary classroom can be ciUJilied as "silent." In the college classroom, that figure iJ closer tcf 45 per cent, and at any level these students are "twice as likely to be female." More importantly, because these students are docile and cooperative, teachers tend to feel that "I don't have to worry about them and I don't have to spend as much time with them," Sadker T said. Another member of the audience noted that In the role playlna, while the male "pupil s " received constructive criticism aJter answerina Incorrectly, female students were told simply that their answera were wrona. Sadker said that his research hu shown that not only do boys receive more feedback on how to avoid mistakes in the future, they alto receive more positive affirmation of their abilities. • 'I know you can do better' is · said more often to boys than to airls," Sadker said. "This leaves girls with the notion that they just can't get it riaht." Overall, he added, male lludenu receive more attention both positive and neaative, from their teachel'l than female studeniJ do, in pan because of the way clusrooms tend to set themselves up. alf of all elementary school clusrooms are "sex segregated," with boys sittina on one side of the room and girls on the other. "In most cases, the students do it themtelves." In fact, Sadker added, crou-race interaction iJ more prevalent than cross-gender interaction. H To compound the problem, teachers tend to gravitate toward the male side of the room, and consequently, male st udenu receive more attention. He added that at the college level,Abe ratio of sex segregated clusrooms iJ one out of three. "And we're not even talking about nursing, education, or engineering," disciplines that traditionally attract more students of one sex than the other. A not her panicipant in the conference told Sadker that be asked "Leah" more limited questions than those be posed to the male students, and suuested that he looked at his female students differently, too. "Patronldnaly," Sadker confirmed . There also Is the tendency in the elusroom to have male students validate answers made by female students . Sadker demon1trated this point In hls "clusroom" by maklna a statement, and ukina Leah whether she •arced with him. As soon as she aareed, he moved the discuulon back to the male students. Teachers tend not only to focus more on their male students, they also are more likely to help them to succeed by leadina them to the riaht answel'l. He demonstrated this tendency by promptina Bob, who bepn clus with a mwina homework Uli&nment, tO &ive I series of correct amwen. "In 10 minutes I can take him from 'bad boy'to the star of the clus. Imagine what a real teacher can do in 10 minutes," Sadker said. Sadker, who hu spent 15 years researchin1 gender biu in clusroom interaction, noted that these patterns bold true regard leu of the sex or race of the instructor. "If I were a black female EngliJh teacher, you would see the same pattern. If I were a white male math teacher, you would see the same pattern," he said. The problem iJ only complicated by the nature of classroom make-up. "There iJn't a class in the classroom. There are three classes," Sadker said. irst, there is the class of kids with green arms - tbe active panicipants whose bands are up in the air so frequently that gangrene begins to set in, Sadker quipped. "That's a few kids," perhaps live per cent of the class. At the next level are about 70 per cent of the students, the nominal group, who F a.re allahtly anxious when !hey answer a question, and breathe a visible slah of feller when the teacher moves on to the next student. "What's left?" Sadker uked . "The silent ones, the spectators.• And who do you think, he uked , by race and sex are the most active students in the clusroom7 White males, then black and minority males, white females, and black and minority females . "That 'I the salary and Income levels in our society. You may think It's some kind of coincidence, but I don't," Sadker said. "We know intrinsically that biu is evil and it'l' bad ... .We know all that about race, but we do it with sex." He noted tha while airls score more hi&hly on achievement tests in tint grade, 12 yean later they are a year behind boys in math and saenc:e. "No other group comes into school scoring ahead and leaves 12 or 16 years later scorina behind. Until recently, we haven't seen it, and to some it still iln't a problem." Sadker added that research bas shown that girls who attend single sex schools show leu of thil tendency than girls who attend co-educational schools; with boys it makes no difference. S o what iJ the answer'l To charge students according to bow much of the teacher's time each pupil takes up? ... You meter your water~ you meter your electricity. Why not meter your education?" Sadker asked. It iJ up to teachers to work to prevent gender bias in their classrooms. "Teachers don't want to be unfair. You have to be more pr<>-active," be said. "Teachers who don't let their students disappear are more effective and their st udents do better. CD Attempts at hang tag forgeries unsuccessful, Griffin reports ttempts by students to circumvent the new bang tag parking system have been unsuccessful, according to Publi& Safety Director Lee Griffin. RecenUy some students have tried to duplicate the white faculty/starr tags by photocopying the blue student tags. "We have already apprehended some people," said Griffin. "1bcy (the fraudulent hang tags) are A very easy to detect if you look closely," he said. "And we will take appropriate action." "The only other problem with tbe tags is tbattbe process turned out to be much more labor-intensive than expected," he continued. Apparently, many people mailed in their applications, which caused added difficulty. He blamed tbe majority o( the kinks in the system on human error. ..Some people forgot to puttbeir ZIP code down, or forgot to sign their checks, or forgot their license plate numbers," Griffin remarked. A number of students bad complained that they bad not received their permits. "I applied at the end of August, and I received my tag last week," said Nobu lgawa, a UB student. Public Safely, whose original intention was to begin enforcement of the bang tag program on Oct. I, extended the date for student lots to Oct. 24. In the future, Public Safety intends to cut down on the handling involved in processing the tags, Griffm said.

Howell, a self-<lesc:ribed "lover of cities." says, "Unlike their European counterparll, picture boob for American children frequently reinforce a neaative imaae of city life." The result, she says, iJ that children the future auardiaru of our cities- take them for aranted and fail to develop a sense of deliah!_ in the richness and divcrtity of urban livina. F S ince picture boob are one of the f1t1t means of •nallina a child's lntelllaence throuah hla lmaaJnatlon , Howell'l aeries will be deslaned to lmpreu the cblld at a very early aae.

The cblld·adventurer will explore the parks, nelahborboods, mus trarult, cultural institutions, recreational re sources, a nd commercial center of the city in question. Reader lntemt wiU be enhanced by the use of imaalnatlve paae folds to offer the element of vilual surprise. Howell's illustrations wiU offer environmental observation from many eye level• and pertpectlvcs to create drama. Upon completion of the NEA project, Howell expccll to have the books publilhed by a trade publilher and distributed to librarians, book stores, and sc:hools acrou the United States. She also plans to extend the series beyond the lint four. "Most American picture books reinforce a negative image of cities, posing a threat to the future health of urban areas.... " Howell maintain s that American picture books have inadequately reflected themes and scenes of urban vitality a nd the commonweal of city life although man y European authors have done so in ..a dynamic and exciting manner.

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

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

In this, the fint opportunity of this acope for women playwriahts to cxchanac idcu, many spoke of their own beginninp in writing. These beginninp - and the common uphill strugales for many ever since - often were rooted in reactions against social, political, historical, theatrical, or sexual traditions. T E xtcnding greetinp to the audience at the opening scssion in the Maori languaac of her mother, Renee of New Zealand talked about growing up with a theatre lraclition heavily influenced by Britain, where she learned sonp about uh groves she'd never seen and read plays where women all were "nap, hap, and bap," or spenllhcir time languishing in English drawing rooms. AllcmpiS to express in writing her own vision of reality came relatively late in life. "It seemed to me, as I looked at myself and my life, and my country and the dramas in it, that 50 would be a good lime to stan writing plays," Renee said. "They bad had SO yean to provide me with a taste of my own reality and they had failed . The next 50 yean would be mine." In such plays as her hit musical comedy, Born to Cl~an, the radical feminist play· wright aims ""to put women center--stage; to record women's lives."' "I write with a sense of uracncy," she said. "\here are so many women who wait impatiently fortbcirstoriesto be told, forthcir sense of fun to make us laugh, forthcir pain to move us to tears, for their lives to hold us spellbound as we selllc back in our seats in a darkened auditorium ... o Subasinghe, playwriting is a way to articulate the female point of view in a country overwhelmingly male-dominated.

It is · essential that her voice be beard. A prominent stage and SCJ;CCn actress in Sri Lanka as weU as a writer and producer, Subasinghe also struggles against clements of her country's Buddhist-influenced way of thinking. "In my life, I've been used to taking everything as reality," she said, -and to relaxing and being compassionate when facing a problem. But in Sri Lanka. it is a reality of turmoil.

The Ove panelisu here had found humor to be the moat efrcctive meant of e~prculon In their writlna. "There arc juat aome people who are humor-Impaired," accordina to American avant-aarde playwrlaht H oily Huahes. "I tend to hate humor. But as a woman and u a political person, I think lt'l the most important form women ha\IC.ft Huahcs moved to playwriting from vis · ual art. or, more accu· ratcly, from Tht Sound of Music. During a performance of the musical , for which she had designed the set , the Alps collapsed. -The set crashed and the audience could sec the Nazis and the nuns were the same people," she said. -And I thought, this is what I want to do - make thinp fall apart." Her fint attempt was the popular lesbian pornographic play. n.~ W~l/ of Hornin~s.s.· in which, in one scene, the characters make love in an Italian restauranc "People were horrified because of counc women donl gel horny," Hughes said.

"We have to deal with so much abuse and garbage in our daily lives, the only way to deal with it is to make a joke about iL There is a way we as women can learn bow to usc humor, and show they don l have power over us." ike Hughes, a denizen of -about ten blocks in the lower East Side of Manhattan where everyone is between 2S and 45, imported from the suburbs and from the Midwest, ft Margaret Hollinpworth considers humor lo be cultllr'C-5peciriC. Although lauptcr may be laughter in any language, humor is acnerally not c:ross-<:u~turat: A Canadian citizen for 20 years, Hollinpwortb was born in Britain. She L compared the d ifferen t approach•• to humor In thoae two countrlea and In the u.s. "In Canada, we export all our funn y people to the U.S. where they feel much freer to be funny," abe aald. Selfdenlaratlon characterllCI the humor of those funny people who do atay. "Women writen In Canada arc enjoined to be uhra-tentltlvc to each other." Holllnpwort h added. "We have to be very careful about aendlna each other up. Women'• jokca arc about mukina (problema) - jokes like 'never wear white on the aecond day of your period If you donl want to look like the naa of Japan.' • American humor focWICS on cllalinct characte11 and is more humane and more mundane than Britiab humor, she observed. "In Britain, nobody and nothina is above a litter. And it'll the institutiont not the individuals we tend to send up. British humor is often downriaht nasty; it is also more truthful than American humor, therefore bas much more scope." HoUinpwortb's plays, which 1be dcacribcd u "slightly skcwccl and odd,ft often contain Canadian characten but are unmistakably influenced by a British penpective, she said. *There's a common consensus amon& my characters, as you would have in a British pub, that nothing is as it seems and at any moment there can be cbaos." omen playwrights resort to comedy as an instinct of self· preservation, aa:ording to Czccbc>s lovakian playwright and novelist Natasa Tanska. Tanska, who laughingly told of tbe very serious international conference on mermaids she recently attended, observed that comedy is still primarily the domain of men. Most books. she added , have been written by men and for men. However. she pointed out, on one thing "both men and women agree: to her and him alike, the other appears ridkulous.• Some women playwrights battle not only the barrier of misundentanding. but also that of repression. The short stories and plays of Liudmilla Petrushevskaya. regarded as one ot the most promising pla)'Wrigbts in the U.S.S.R., were prohibited in her country for many years. Over a 20-ycar period, sbc said, "my whole life was conducted under pro.hibition." · Once an editor sugested sbc bill one of her plays as a comedy, so it would get by the c:eason. •r said. of coune, itll paa more easily.

If it's a long play. tbc fint 20 minutes nothing should be undcrttood. "When the audience final!• under· stands, they will bum into lauihter and their souls will be opened." ike Pctrulhcvskaya. Diana Raznovich of Argentina expresses in her plays a reality somewhat contrary to the "official" one. "I come from a country which from my standpoint is very funny, but people who live there think it's very, very serious." she said . "This difference in opinion bas brought me very serious problems sina: I was very young. I thought I had to change my glasses so I could appreciate reality the way they wanted me to." Raznovich, wbo has been living in Spain for more than a decade, was fltSt exposed to humor in her physicianfather's waiting room. "J thought my father's waiting room was a very funny plaa:; everyone was always laughing making fun of Peron and his wife, Evita. It was a bidden anti-Pcronist political humor that I would never have found in any newspaper. "In any dictatorship, the flfSI thing · prohibited is humor, regardless of political color," she continued. "They try to he serious in a very uniform manner. For example, they have very serious por· traits, very serious medals. very serious chauffeurs taking the military men to their mectiQgs wllcre they decide very · seriously how to till us, or in which subtle way they're goin& to'make us disap. pear. In those mectiQgs, humor is not very well accepted.· . To Ramovich, one must laugh if only to avoid eryin&. "Somethin& lite life emerJCS" from laughter, which is produced by humor and by pleasure.

There are conOicta between the costt of creatina drama an4 the economic hardohip faoed by many countries. In Jamaica, for instance, the economy declined abarply after the violent election of 1981. "We are the second moot indebted country in the world, and 60 cents of every dollar it spent on payina tbat debt," she uid. 0 Ford-Smith said it cosu more to produce a play than to create low-income housing or feed a family.

" Many social issues keep cropping up and so we keep running from one issue to the other." she said, adding that the confusion spills over even into art. That is. there is pressure from one side to stick to trad itional art forms and an equal demand for realistic theatre. Sharma argued that the artilt must give up the former and embrace the latter. Traditional art forms empbuiz.e fixed concepts that leave no room• for addressing the here and now, Sharma said. "The emphasil on form in Indian theatre doesn\ represent the people. Tbe argument for the traditional theatre il that it goes back to our roots. Yet in doing so," she maintained, "we are negating what il happening today .... We prevent the problems and issues from being presented." A politically and socially ellective play, according to Sharma, il one that forces audiences to be aware of the contradictions prevalent not just in their nation but in themselves, thereby provolcing deeper investigation. • Just raising questions iJ not enough," Sharma advised .

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

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

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

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

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

"The idea of reunification was tainted by the Cold War. We must work from the assumption that there are two German states trying to co-exist." Their reunification is a topic that most younger Germans don't discuss originally published in German and translated by him the day before . In it, he described the events leading up to the division of German y into two se parate states. "'The Cold War allowed only an either/ or decision to be made ... Klessmann said . "After the Marshall Plan (which stabilized the West German economy in I ~48), the division of Germany appeared unavoidable ... He listed several "points of deep upheaval" in Germany that led to the division in 1949. Among these were terri~ torial changes (Germany lost 23 per cent of its original area in 1945), economic interventions in theSoviet Zone , and the Allied program designed to eliminate the traces of the Nazi regime. Further tension re s ult ed from the isolation of East Germany that began in 1952 with the establishment of a three-mile wide strip of guarded land between the two countries and ended in 1961 with the constrtlction of the Berlin Wall. According to Klessmann, the 1960s saw a change in the West German view of East Germany. "There was a new discussion regarding the past," he said . "West Germans decided to give up ignoring the second German state. "In my opinion there can and should A GERMANY DMDED I be a possibility for coexistence and peaceful competition between the two countries." he added. "Hopeful signs of change can be noticed. That Germans from the East and West are in Buffalo discussing German history belongs to those hoper ul signs." M einicke spoke nex t, and, since he has had only an introductory education in English, his speech was translated to the audience by Iggers. .. There have been attempts at unification from both sides, ... he commented. " But opposition of the various political parties preven ted an exchange of opinions. .. Both GermanieS becaine increasingly different in economic and political development, .. he continued ...The idea of reunification was tainted by the Cold War." He concluded: .. In the future, we must work from the assu mption th at there are two German states trying to clarify their relationship ... T urner spoke from a more theoretical angle, noting that there is a "quest for legitimacy" occurring in the minds of scholars in the .two countries. He said the problem was complicated by the fact that East Germans have access to West German television and radio stations: ..They can see the West in all of its material prosperity on TV every day." Lately, changes have occurred in East German society, according to Turner. He cited the increasing number of people allowed to travel to the West. "Pre- viously, westward travel was almosL always denied unless you were past age of retirement,... he said. "Lately there has been a di vision in West Germany ... the polar positions of which are those who believe that the primary task is reunification, and a growing sector of 'thoughtful West Germans,' who do not believe that will happen - who believe it is counterproductive to talk about reun ification," he stated. Whe~ asked which positi on is ~ost realistic, Turner responded that the latter one is. KJessmann commented that members of the older generation, "which bas a more intensive identification with the old Germany," are more likely to suggest reunification. He added that "most older people see that reunification is not acceptable for Germany or its European neighbors." • Meinicke remarked that the younger generation at his university does not discuss the issue of reunification. "The main discussion deals with ..recent changes in the Soviet Union - democratization," he said . ..There is much less discussion about reunification than about how the relationship between the two Germanies can be improved . I n the ensuing discussion, the speakers for the afternoon session, Jorn Rusen of West Germany and Wolfgang Kuttler, East Germany, voiced their opinions. Rusen remarked: " We shouldn't look at old conflicts instead of lookjng forward to new chances, although the new ways may involve risks." lggers concluded the discussion on a positive note ... We are at the point where there is an increasing community of minds," he said. "We should think not in terms of two different political camps. but in terms of people of a common culture."

The two-year tec hno logy programs may be called train ing programs because they offer technology with out a breadth or educat ion in the basic sciences. Engineering techn ology program s fall somewhere betwee n the two and vary q uite a bit from school to school. At the heart o f an engineering edu cati o n is the creative ability to solve pro blems and a co nce rn fo r the develo pment of new o r imp roved analysis o r the design of processes and new products.

Enginee ring educati o n contains five basic co mpo nents: science. mathematics, humanities and social sciences, modeling a nd analysis, and design. En gineering design is perhaps most important. It is where the creative use of scientific knowledge is integrated with trade-off analyses and decisionmaking under constraints which include insufficient information. Design is the overall umbrella for processes and 1or end products, embracing the other [our components.

Beca use of the glo bal competitiveness of industry. there is every reaso n to believe th at the demand fo r e ngi neers will co ntinue to increase. Th e challenge to engineering schools then is to prepare the right k_ind of engi nee r and to a nticipate future needs for engineering manpower. UB, with a comprehensive campus and its status as a maj o r graduate and research ce nter , is in an excellent pos itio n to devel o p inn ovative educatio nal program s fo r the next ro und o f en gi neers. bo th undergraduate and graduate, who wi ll have the abitity to partici pate in what we now regard to be cross --d isci plinary act ivi ties. The pl uralis m in the programs of U.S. engi neeri ng schools is co nsidered to be a stre ngth. So me programs are limited to practical engi neerin g applica tions while o thers are heavily involved in providing a bas ic scientific education. It is the co mprehensive un iversit y with its multiple gradu ate and und ergraduate programs t hat must ta ke the lead in prepari ng inn ovative engineering ed ucat io nal programs. A public university such as UB must provide educat io n, research, and se rvice more or less equally. In the following paragraphs so me ideas are advanced as impo n ant agenda items fo r U B's Facult y or Engineering and Applied Sciences ( F EAS) to pu rsue [or the next several yea rs. Undergraduate Education B ecause o f the rapid expansion o f knowledge, undergraduate education has faced a maj or dilemma in recent years. Educato rs have had to decide what important 4nd relevant ingredient s a student mus t absorb in a program limited to four years. To address this problem, several universities have implemented five·year B.S. programs but most of such efforts have failed . In the next several years engineering educators will have to reth ink the contents or their four-year engineering curricula. Researchoriented universities most likely will deemphasize specific applications at the undergrad uate level, leaving them to m~ter-level engineering practioeonent~ programs in a ftfth ye~r. Laboratory instruction will be modified ~ mod~m information processing and s1mulatton techniques are developed . There will be massive use of computers and workstations, not only for .problem-solving, but also as an intrinsic part of the education process. Today's en8io~n are well prep&Rd to make rational and logical techoi<:al decisions and to obtain o pt imal solutions to problems under con~tratms and uncertain conditions. Yet fcv. are involved in the political process or 10 the making of policy in organ11at1on 1 O ne major reason may be that the\ lack the ability to co mmunicate v.~n l t r~ so. tak ing a course o r two proba bh will not help.

The stitm ng salary of ll'B's B:S. engineers has been consistently higher than the nation al average. Therefore, the stud ents w1 ll be able to meet the challenge or innovation and demand o f the curricula. r' Graduate Education ince undergraduate educatio n at U B emphasizes , must be creat ive and imaginacive planning a dual-track graduate educational system for engl neers. track must be a traditional one emphasizi ng research and teaching (M.S. and Ph.D.); the other must target practicing enginee rs . Our of engineering (M.E.) degree does this. It is quite probable that a doctor of enginee ri ng degree will be added to the practice track. The M.S. .and Ph.D . track has had a lo ng and successful trad ition in engineerin g education. However. because of a desperate"need for engineerin g [acuity in the U.S. - and indeed . wo rld-wide - the Ph .D . program must pay more attention to developing teachmg sk1lls (again, communication !). The new and exciting challe nge to graduate engineering educatio n at UB lies in the imaginative deve lopment of the M .E. programs. I put th is goal o n my agenda for the ne xt seve ral years. Basically, the M .E. is similar '" scope to the M.B.A. offered by the School of Management: the teaching engineering practice or the a pplication of knowledge is the primary objecti\'c. Because engineering practice invo lves solving interdisciplinary proble ms. curricula associated with the various cona:ntrations of study must be designtll to satisfy different industrial and even pedagogical needs. Some examples of cross-<lisciplinary already developed include software engineering, manufacturing system s engineering, production engineering management, and construction engineeiing management. Several ot her new ideas are under consideration either wholly within FEAS or as joint efforts with other faculties and schools at UB. The latter efforts are an illustration of how tbe FEAS can take advantage of UB's comprehensiveness to develop new and innovative programs for the education of future engineers, Another relatively ~w.coDCCpt in grldua~e ecl~qp fP.r·,\wr, ~ool to constder iJ .~ blleak '!~Y. Jrqll!l Ill!: S �October 20, 1988 Volume 20, No. 7 • traditional approach and accept graduate students with B.S. / B.A. degrees in fields other than engineering. In such new programs we would not seck accreditation, artd the graduates would not qualify for licensing. However. they could become pan of the workforce for society. For example, in the environmental engineering area we could admit students with biology or chemistry degrees to a new master's program with a concentration in the environmental sciences. The learning experience could include existing courses from engineering and natural sciences and newly-<levelopcd nonengineering, non-science-based courses tailored to the program. Another example: the globalization of industry requires that engineers be knowledgeable of the history, language, and culture of different pans of the world. FEAS could offer a master-level degree program addressing this industrial need . We must seck the assistance of the Faculties of ArtS and Letters and Social Sciences to develop such a "minor" for engineering students. We also must try to dev~ programs which provide technological understanding for the non-technically educated. This will be far more difficult to do, and there are few ideas on how it can be done. Life-Long Learning A !though undergraduate engineering education emphasizes the ability for self-learning, rapid changes in technology make it extremely difficult for most engineers to keep upd ated without some assistance. As a pan of a public university, the engineering sc hool has a responsibility to serve the needs of the engineering profession by providing courses (either for credit or credit-free) to practicing engineers. As dean, I strongly support the offering of workshops and short courses as well as graduate for<redit courses at industrial sites. Loolr.ing to the future, I believe we will have to devote a major effort to the development of videotaped courses coupled with tutoring effortS for practicing engineers. In fact, there is every reason to believe that future learning, even on campus. will rely more heavily on this approach. A small group of studen ts would review the t~pes, sto p them at criti cal momen~ for dtscussions among themselves or wuh a tutor: a more-or-less self-paced method of study. We are pleased that SUNY is establishing a satellite information system. Our engineering school plans to panicipate fully in televised courses aimed at individuals working in industry. Basic Research y all measures the faculty in this engineering school perform . exceptionally well in carrying out baste research. Their efforts compare well with those of faculty in engineering schools of major public un iversities. Many of our faculty serve as journal editors and/or associate editors. Collectively, they publish ft large number of refereed articles in . mainstream journals, and a very htgh ~tage of them ~ive grants from the National_ Science Foundation and other agencies which usc rigorous peer review processes. Five of ~ur young faculty have ~ived Prestdenllal Young Investigator Awar~s from the National Science Foundauon. All of these activities are most important because !bey contribute to the B advancement of eqgineering knowledge and are the basis for our Ph.D . education programs. I believe that ex:ccUence in basic, discipline~riented research is the platform for the development of significant interdisciplinary research. Applied Research I n..the last few years. FEAS has substantially increased research sponsored by federal and state agencies and industry . However. this effort needs further strength ening. Mi ssiono riented research often requires team efforts. The engineering school gradu ally is moving in the direction of a matrix-type o rganization containing traditional academic disciplines, departments o r academic programs, and team-oriented efforts and research laboratories o r centers which represent the second dimension . Expansion of the capaci ty"for applied research also is necessary if the engineering school is to offer significant service to the federal and state governments and to industry. In some areas of applied research the engineering school should team with other professional schools, such as Management. Law, and Health Related Professions to be more effective. An excellent example is the cooperation between the School of Management and our Department of Industrial Engineering to form The Center for Industrial Effectiveness. Compared with other engineering schools in major public research universities, UB's engineering scbooJ is rather small in size, one-quarter the size 9f the University of Illinois' engineering school. Although size is an im portant factor in striving for excellence (reputation and "numbers " arc interrelated), I am optimistic about ou r school's chance to achieve eminence among peers in a relatively sho rt time. We have a special characteristic that many other engineering schools lack: the attitude of our faculty . Because we do not have a long tradition, depanmental walls are not ..cast in concrete." Cooperation amo ng faculty in different disciplines is very high. Further. this engineering schoo l does not believe in measuring fac ulty success by a single criterion. By and large. faculty respect one another's contributions to the school , whether it he through excellence in teaching, fundamental or applied research. publication, or service. Faculty fun her recognize that the different talents of their colleagues contribute to the overall strength of the school. When the situation calls for it I can always count on the faculty to rise to the occasion and to deliver for the school. This special spirit is rare, but it is an important key to sua:ess. Educating engineers for the 21st century requires the imagination, cooperation, and dedication of the entire engineering faculty and staff. Recent successes (summer minority engineering programs, the National Center for Eartbqualr.e Engineering Research, the State Institute on Superconductivity, the State Center for Toxic Waste, the NASA award for hypersonic graduate education and research, summer programs for community college engineering facllllY members, the Power Institute, succ:cssful intc:rn1otional and national .c onferences, etc.) have shown that this engineering school can do it! The strategy for FEAS for the next several years may be summarized as follows: Within the school, targeted effortS will be directed to developing programs in aerospace engineering and computer communication and control engineering, where challenging and exciting opportunities are plent iful. Further, effortS will be mounted in minority student recFUitment and in the reexamination of our undergraduate curricula with a view to reducing the co ntent of specific applications and increasing f~ndamental principles and design~ emphasizing communications skills and relevant humanities and social science courses. We also wish to pursue joint effortS with the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. This will present a powerful combination to address human and public health issues that are definitely a high ~riority on the national agenda. In terms of a new, exciting area of materials science and engineering, FEAS already bas and will ·continue to strengthen its joint effort with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. For innovative educational programs, FEAS will team with faculty from the basic core of ArtS and Sciences. On pre-college educational effortS it is important to worlr. with the Faculty of Educational Studies so that high school teachers, counselors, and students understand careers and challenges in engineering. Furtber, FEAS will talr.e the lead in cooperating with Siate University colleges and community colleges in engineering education, particularly concerning minority education.

Alber-t said th at eve n the most see min gly natural foo d s ffiust be processed by the bod y because they are foreign (x.eno) substances. For instance, a baby needs .. protein. fat s. and carbohydrates. Mother's milk contains all of these and yet although the mother prese nts the child with human fat s, human proteins, and hum an carbohy~ drates. he breaks all th is down to small fragments , small molecular fragments. by digestion . "So even food is !reated by the human body as being quite foreign ." The majority of food is never aCUlally in the body, Albert noted . The entire digestive system ...from the mouth right thc~ e ~a 1 d . through to the anus is exterior to the body, like a hole in the doughnut is exterior to the doughnut. When fragments of food pass the semipermeable, gastric membranes into the bloodstream and directly to the liver, only then have we got something in the body." If something is a food , more of it can be eaten than of something that is a poison. Humankind has been able to label some plants and animals as edible only through hit and miss, Albert said .

"What keeps people from overdosing on caffeine are the telltale sig ns of an overd o se . thumping hearts and shaking hands." It's easy to take too much of even more benign su bstances than ethanol and caffeine, Albert said. " Food is such delicious stuff that we feel we can never get too much of it." He said th at there are three primary malnutrition problems· too much food, too little, and the wrong mix. lbert put forward oxygen, alcohol, and caffeine as examples of substances that are used daily in the three different modes. ..

He explained that oxygen in 0 high pressure doses has been known to ~ cause blindness. ~ - '--------' Alcohol is generally looked on as a recreational ingestible, but it too can take on all three qualities, Albert said . "Although ethanol is quite a calorific food . coming halfway between carbohydra tes and fats . it is not a very practical one. It was a very important medicine in th ose days before anaestheti cs. "Ethanol has disappeared from the pharmacopeia but it has not disap peared from the domestic medicine chest. It is mu ch in use as a nightcap. it is valuable as a n appet ize r. and it's a thing people ofte n take during a common cold so that they don't feel too bad . There is a gray area. somewhere between ethanol as a medicine and ethanol as a poiscn. and this is called social drinking." Albert e•plained that alcohol poisoning is one form of alcohol's toxic effects. Other ways in which a lcohol can be Albert said that the pattern of lethal are due more to its impairing the drinking coffee in the morning and ce ntral nervous system than actually throughout the day is an e<ample of a poiso ning people . ..

Obesity is a proble m because it causes a shortening of life span ard an early onslaught of problems associated with old age.

There is hardly an yo ne wh u doesn' eat a member of this famil y:· which includes such plants as cabbage. turnips, and mustard, all members of the cruciferae fam.ily. However, the poisons are not present in dangerous levels. Albert said that the human body itself produces toxic chemicals in minute doses to carry out different purposes. "We keep getting rid of our hematin by breaking it down regularly. Of the four bridging carbons, the fourth one comes out as carbon monoxide, so we are producing carbon monoxide day and night." Another poison we make ourselves is hydrogen cyanide, Albert said. In muc h the same way, plant poisons are usuall y the end pr~uct of a normal (for th e plant) metabolic pathway. Albert noted that, luckily for us, plant poisons were evolved to stave off insects. As a result, in the doses present in most plants, they are relatively benign to humans. "How is it that foods have so many poisons? I suppose it's because plants have no feet and couldn' run from their predators but had to stay and fight." 4D Books • NEW AND IMPORTANT STORIES IN AN ALMOST CLASSICAL MODE by Harold Brodkcy ( Knopf; $24.95).

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

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

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

Bruce Johnstone has asked me lo call to your allenlion lhe existing s(ate policy regarding lhe separation of polili· cal activities from the conduct of official state business. State policy requires that lacully and stall in the SUNY system maintain a c lear separation between their political activities and the performance of their duties as state employees. This means !hat lacully and stall cannot conduct political activities on paid state time. In addition. state equipment. vehicles. and office space are to be used only lor official staterelated business and not lor any type of political activity. New York Stale law also speci· ties a series of prohibited polilical activilies that apply to faculty and sial! as slate employees. The provisions prohibit lhe use of improper influence or lhe corrupt use of one's posilion or authority lo influ· ence a political eleclion. Those who wish lo inquire inlo lhese pro· vis ions further should exam ine New York State Civil Service Law. Section 107 and New York Stale Elect ion La'w. Sect ion 17- 158. Our participation in lhe political processes of our country lhrough federal. stale. and local elections is one of the mosl cherished rights of c itizenship. As we anticipate the upcoming election, I hope lhat we will keep in mind lhe importance ol separating our role as citizens from our duties as slale em· • ployees. Sincerely, - Stnen B.

The last ISO years have been relatively peaceful, be states, but tbe people of Saint Pierre et Miquelon have often chafed under the "'tentacular workings of a colonial administration." The islands became a French overseas territory in 1946 and then an overxu dqHulitmml in 1976. · be offiCial discovery of the islands was made by a PortliJUCSC navigator in IS21. In IS36, JoO:ques Cartier daimcd them in the name of Francia I of France. 'Ibruupout the I 7th century, ' Saiat Pierre et Miquelon Frcacb. But in 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht ceded Acadia, Newfoundland, and the Islands of Saint Pierre et Miquelon to England. The islanders were resettled to what is DOW Cape Breton Island an eviction that lasted SO years. Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), France lost almost all its Canadian posxaions, but repined the blands of Saint Pierre ct Miqoclon as a buc for its f11bermeo. LcHuenen writes: • A new period of settlement bepD with Miquelon as the main population center, with immip"ants from France as weD as many Acacliaos."

"I wanted it to be a kind of memory - · a way to preserve the popula.r memory of the local culture. I tbinlt the people of Saint Pierre et Miquelon recognize themselves in the book. In that way, it bas been very positive." LcHuencn, who holds both Fiencb and Canadian citizenship, visits his homeland about once a yea.r. The Jones Professor wu educated in France and holds the doctoral cJesrcc from the Univenity of St.rasbourg. He "is a specialist in the 19th ccotury French novel, especially the worb of Balz.ac.

There are a lso sa tiri ca l pieces, proverbs, poems. ancc· dotes, and expressions of reli- gious holidays and the seasons. Most of the stories were told to LeHuenen and his father by islanders .. who were willing to open up thtir memories to us ... of the l eHuenen and his father were .. interested in preserving these simple. humble stories - which are at times dramatic, at times face- tious. sometimes strange and even fantastic, and at times realistic, serious or light, naive or astute - as instances of a collective cuhural identity, of the specific geni us of the rocks and earth and surrounding ocean which is Saint Pierre ct Miquelon." "The Magic Slate"is set during the great era of the sailing ships. The captain of an American ship, the "Columbia," discover.; that the wrong course has been marked on his slate. He is angry and puzzled and gives the order to change the s hip'~ course, correcting the slate accordingly. But when the strange directions continue to appear on the slate , and no reasonable explanation can be found , the captain finally bows to the ., .. ....:~~.

" Marti Galland" is the story of a French fisherman who, after his soul is sold to the devil, is transformed each midnight into an enormous dog. One night, Marti is at a ball where the d ancer.; make graceful panems, and the music invites sweet thoughts. At midnight, Marti is seized by an irresistible compulsion and leaves the ballroom in a hurry. One of the hunter.; follows him into the cold night air. He sees Marti turning into a ferocious dog with powerful fangs. The huntr r is terrified, goes to get his ,guo, and pulls the trigger. There is a death cry that breaks the silence of the night and covers, with its lugubrious echoes, the joyful SO!lDds of the dance music inside. By dawn, the body of the giant dog has vanished. Only a pool of blood touches the great mantle of snow. From that time on, ... no one ever saw Marti Galland story concludes.

"One alternative was to publish the stories the way they were narrated. 8tH most of the time, the sto ry had been reduced to its thematic center. So the description of the characte rs was very short. almost non~xis tent. "If you publish the stories that way, you keep the authenticity of the popular narrative. And that may satisfy a handful of eth nographers or scientists who love to find these stories (i n their original form) . But you don' have ac:cCss to a large public. "The alternative is to keep all the iogred~nts of the narrative - the theme, the character.;, the atmosphere, but rewrite them in such a way that the story becomes more attractive to the public, the readers. So we decided to go along this path, because we felt, first of all, that we wanted these stories to be known." For LcHuenen, these tales are more than colorful impressions of a maritime life .

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

State University of New York An Ambitious Goal UB aims to double research sponsorship in 5 years Other By ANN WHITCHER Reporter Sl:aff n five years. U B hopes to double the amount of its external sponsorship for research, Dale M . Landi, vice president for sponsored programs , told the UB Council last week . This goal was set by President Sample, Landi said, and is ''an ambitious one." To accomplish this, the University will have to widen its base of support , Landi stated. Spec ifically . it hopes to increase research support from private foundations and industrial concerns. to ten a nd eight per cent, respectively. of the total sponsors hip base . "These figure s are the averages at public research universities about our size." Total expenditures are up . to $87.5 million this year. 20 per cent from 1986-87. This figure includes research done by affiliated faculty at Roswell Park , affiliated hospitals , and research centers. These latter catego ries of expenditures are not reported through the SUN¥ Research Foundation. Landi added : "SpoQsorship from private foundations accounts for only a fraction of one per cent of our gross sponsorship. whereas the average for universities our size is ten per cent.. .. We can do much better by being a little more aggressive." I Colleges Binghamton Albany Slony Brook Buffalo • See AtnbUious, Page 2 • Ac tual • Est1mat ed 80 61 "We will have to attract more private & industrial support." 82 83 84 . 85 86 Fiscal Years - Ending June 30th 87 88 89 -DALE LANDI �October 13, 1.988 Volume 20, No. 7 e AMBITION As for industrial sponsors hip, ··we're a little over o ne per cent. We can do a lot better and are taking so me initiatives to mcrease our spo nsors hip in this a rea ... cfore takin g his prese nt pos iti on in Dece mber . 1986. Landi said he .. no ticca th e re were many areas where the Universi ty had strong capabi lities. but there was no external sponsorship at aiL Yet th ere were external funds a\allable for ( th1 s kmd. of) resea rch ." Land1 also announced a pilot project to decentralize local ope r a t ion~ of the SUNY Research Fou ndati o n. These would mvolve app lica ti ons processing. accoun t estab lis hment and maintenance. billmgs. and con tract negotiation a nd awa rd acceptance, a mon g other items. B The project would also decentralize mos t techn ology tra nsfer functions. such as process in g 1n vc nti o n di sc losures. marketing inventions , filing patent decisi ons, and the like. (The University is now recruiting a technol ogy transfer officer, acco rding to Charles J . Kaars. assis tant vice president for program adm inistration.) The Research Foundation's cen tral opera t io ns are .. generall y effective.·· Landi said . However, they are overly ce ntral ized . rem ote (located in Albany), create redundancies in procedure. and add to the cost of U B operations. " We think that if more of the re sponsi bility is here on our campus. we can provide a better se rvice to our princi pal investigato rs -- o ur faculty and we can do it at a lowe r cost. " I •,. '. • I ••'- . • • • .• 1 straint s. " For o ne thing, lab and equipmen t have become .. precious commodities ... especially in the biomedical and natural sciences, and in engineering, he said . This is one reason why UB will try to expand o perat io ns at Baird Resea rch Pa rk . "We ca n build a building on private land for a bo ut half the price. and in abou t one· third the tim e. than if we depend on th e Sta t e Un ive rsi t y Co nstructi on Fund.Perhaps the bigges t co nstraint, said Landi, is the University's difficulty in recovering its ove rhead cosls ... These are legi timate ove rhead costs incurred in any busi ness: the University is no exception. The federal government, as our main sponsor, reimburses us for our overhead costs. But the Stale of New York ends up co nfiscating most of it. We onJy get about 40 per cent of it back here. .. Almost all those costs are incurred here on campus. As our research establishment grows, our costs grow. Unless we're able to recover those costs, we're eventually going - to be very seriously constrained ... Still , it had only 27 per cent of th e U.S. patents issued to SUNY campuses. However, the Universi ty had 56 per cent of th e lice nses obtained in SUNY, which is a truer test of progress, Landi stated . Additionally, UB generated 49 per cent of the royalty income for all SUNY campuses. 8 uses these returned overhead funds .. as soc::._6.. money so that faculty can develop ~eas to the point where we can seek external sponsorship, .. Landi told the Cou ncil.

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

Review of deans should be annual, he said . Also the assessmem of deans should be based mostly on the ..provost's observations, informed in part by his direct interaction wi th the unit. The provost would gather this informat ion at an annual meeting with facult y at which the dean would be present.

"After six years, it is felt to be entirely appropriate to conduct a more thorough evaluation of the dean. in order to avoid a ci rcumstance in which a seated dean remains as chief executive officer of his or her facult y by sheer dint of inenia."

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

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

The Buffalo PET scanner wiU be a vital component of our biomedical engineering program, and will support both research and clinieaJ care in aU of our affiliated hospitals. Acquisition of Buffalo's PET scanner system will be supported by a S4 million federal grant to both the Buffalo Veterans that many of these facult y require. U B ran ks very high among the nation's major public universities in the recruitment of women and members of underrepresented minorities to our the percentage of female faculty Veterans Administration Hospital, where twenty heart transplants have been performed over the past few years. Rutgers University comparing twenty major public universities, UB ranked sixth among all universities studied in members, sixth in the percentage of faculty members representing all racial or ethnic minorities. and second in the percentage of black faculty members. We are pleased to report that a large portion of the faculty hired this year are women or members of underrepresented minorit y groups. Since August of 1987. 10 per cent of recognized by the scholarly and artistic the full-time faculty whom we have hired are members of underrepresented minori ty groups. and 26 per cent arc women . Within the rank s of the communities, and in some instances professional staff. 15 per cent of our Several of our programs in the humanities have also been widely have attracted special financial support . For example, this fall SUNY-Buffalo is sponsoring the first International Women Playwrights Conference. Professor Anna Kay France of the Department of English has played a central role in organizing this event which is attracting world-wide attention and promises to be of historic significance in advancing the role of women in tbe theatre. This conference will bn"hg together, for the first time in the history of the ttM:atre, hundreds of notebooks, and manuscripts of twentieth-century English-language poets and authors, including those of James Joyce and William Butler Yeats. During the last six years the poetry collection alone ha.s received over SI million in gifts and grants, including grants from the U.S. Department of Ed ucation and the National (radioisotope camera) which wiU • perform real-time imaging of patients who have received small doses of radioisotopes. The initial uses of this new facility will be in the field of cardiovascular diagnostics, which is a key element of our heart transplant program. PET teehnology is truly at the cutting edge of medieal science, and is essential for any major health science meet the salary requirements of several first-dass scholars but also to provide the laboratory space and equipment involved the University's other five affiliated hospitals (including Roswell Park · I Institute), and that received strong on from the Western New Y r munity at large . A key factor in o taining approval for the center was our faculty's experience in heart transplantation at the Buffalo nation. radio-chemistry, nuclear medicine, and greatly aided by the availability of GRJ funds , which enabled us not only to faculty .

Our recruitment efforts this past year were the Buffalo General Hospital (BGH), another of our major affiliated teaching hospitals, in establishing the State's 'Second heart transplant center. The establishment of this center at BG H was the result of an effort that also in terms of the amount of support for research awarded by tbe National Institute for Dental Research, recently received yet another major grant $3.3 million over the next five years to study the role of salivary constituents in the formation of dental plaque. This award went to Dr. Michael Levine, Professor of Periodontics. The ~rant , combined with tbe S8 million awarded last year to establish the National Center for Oral Biology at SUNYBuffalo, places the School in the very first ranks of all dental schools in the SUNY -Buffalo, in conj unction with the Buffalo Veterans Administration Hospital (which is one of our-major affiliated teaching hospitals), is now in the process of developing a plan to build and operate a Positron Emission Tomography (PEl) scanner.

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

This co mple x will enable SUNY- Buffalo to provide needed space for : research init iatives in the areas of superconductivity and hazardous waste management; the Center for Industrial Effectiveness; and cooperative research activities with New York industries. The number of invention disclosures filed by our facult y during this past year more than doubled. SUNYBuffalo's faculty now account for 60 per cent of the total number of inventions d isc losed within the entire SUN Y system. Moreover, invention s made at SUNY-Buffalo accounted for nearly half of all the royal ty income gene rated during the past year with in the SUNY system. Annual royalty inco me attri buta ble: to inventions made by SUNY-Buffalo faculty has increased by more than 350 per ce nt over the la;1 two years alone. XsuDGET SUNY-Buffalo suffered a maj o r setb•ck thi s past summer when o ur bud get for FY 1988-89 was unexpectedly red uce d by S 1.2 million.

Only in this way can the Univers it y maint a in the stabilit y o f its base bud ge t when the State itself faces severe budgetary co nstraints. In fisca l 1989-90 SUN Y- Buffa lo will be exa mining various mea ns of ge nera ting addit io naJ re venue thr o ug h special charges and fees.

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

There, abe worked on the assembly line in tutile milia and lived in a houaina project. t 29, Bellko became a freahman at the Unive11ity of New Hampahire. After briefly conaiderin& a career as a social worker, she turned to creative writina and finally to thea~. She won leadlna rolea in campua procluctiona and graduated aumma cum laude. After a aecond divorce, Betako went to New York and worked u a profeuioD&I actreao before becomiaa a playwriaht. She wu the Nurse in "Equua• at tbe Plymouth Theater in 1975 and Wlderotudled two laraer rolea in tbe aame play durin& the national road tour. While on A She writes from life One of Kathleen Betsko 's powerful dramas will be featured during playwrights event tour in Detroit in 1977,ahe be&an writin& her fi11t play, "Beaar'l Choice." In 1978, the Euaene O'Neill National i'laywri&hll Conference apeed to produce it. Her second play, "Stitche11 and Star· li&ht Talke11." wu wriuen "for the women who sew aweatc:11 in Mancheater, New Hampahlre. • This, too, wu produced by the Euaene O'Neill National Playwri&hll Conference, u was • Johnny Bull." which~u &lao been adapted and · produced by National Public Radio. Meanwhile, Betako wu explorina. with othe11, the meanlna of dramatic art wriuen by women. In 1987, William Morrow and Company publilbed her lnttrvltWI with Con11mpor11ry Womtn Plt~ywr,hll, co-written and edited with Rachel Koenia. The book contains lenllhY interviewnrntb 30 playwriahll, includin& Bellko alld Pulitzer Prize winne11 Manha. Norman and Beth Henley. I nan interview, Betako said playa writ· ten by women account for only seven per cent ol the contemporary atage. "Rialn now, we have no play by a woman on Broadway, and very little ofTBroadway. Where we pick up a little is ofT-ofT Broadway. But it IIIII woru out at about seven per cent. And tbat fiaure holds true for moat Weatem countriea." In Britain, for Instance, half of the playa writtc:n by women that reach the atage are Aaatha C~riatie myoteries, Betako aaya, quotina the playwriaht Mlchelene Wandor. Such plays have their place, uya Betoko. "but&R unlikely to offend anyone." And there liea the crux of Betsko'l araument. Women playwri&hll face a complex network of cenao11hip, aome of it blatant, aoine ao aubtle It nearly escapes detection. Much of It, she oaya, iJ "self~oo11hlp. • That ia, women on en aoften their characte11, both male and female, In anticipation of a likely critical reaponae. "Cenao11hlp hu to do with the fact that women'l material hu been seen to be trivial, but It simply lin\ true." She add1 that criticl can be eapeclally hard on playwri&hll like BmUy Mann, Caryl ChurebJJI, Ntouke Shanae, Allee Chlldi'CII, and live Merriam, all of whom uae touah political material. In Bellko'l view, the critlcllm Implies a belief that women &R not aulted to the hanher aubject mattc:r. Also, women playwriahu who make their male ch111'11Clell unappealina, or their female charactel1 uncivil to each other, are frequently judaecJ on tbe buiJ of their perceived adherence or lndlfrer- tions, and intentions of women playwrighll are, for the most part, woefull y lost on the majority of our critica." Why is the position of the women playwrighu ao problematic? "We're the public voice of women. And it'a never nice for women to make rude noi.Jca in public. Yet how can women avoid it if they are to write raw, vital playa?" Indeed, women playwriaJIU seem to structure their dramu differently than do men . "Women playwri&hll tend to write in a more cireulll fashion," Betoko oaya. "They tend to be more aeneroua with the text, spread ina it around on the otaae more evenly amona the charac1e11. "Aceordlna to Ariatotle'l old rulea,the protaaonill and the antaaoniat &R the moll important charactel1. ff women were len to their own devicea and were not cenaored, and didn\ cenaor them· selva, the very notion of a protaaoniJt and an antaaonlst mlaht dlaappear altoaether. . "Those women who write In a more realistic vein tend to write shorter scenea. Instead of havlna one cllmu, as per Ariatotle, they tend to Include many amaller cllmuea. Because they've been so aeneroua lpreadlnatheir text around, at the end of the play they act Into trouble llructurally. Thl1 iJ because they don\ only have the protaaoniJt and the antaaoniJt. to wrap up, they've aot ev· erybody to wrap up. A lot of women, includlna myself, tend to have more than one endlnato their playa." She adda: "One of tbe m011 lmponant dlfTerencea II that in men's playa, the Individual Olnat himlelf aplnst unbeat· able Corea.

Editor CD Art Di..ctor --- ANN WHITCHER IIDIECCA IIDINSTDI Weekly Calender Editor Associate Art Director REBECCA FARNtiAII JEAN SHRADER �October 13, 11188 Voh.ime 20, No. 7 Dr. George Hatem, public health r. George Hatem, the Buffaloborn physician who became a leader in public health in China, died in Beijing, Sunday, Oct. 2. Hatem, known in China as Ma Haide, was 78. He had fough t a long battle against inflammation of the pancreas and then succumbed to cancer and diabetes. He had spent more th a n half a century in China leading a campaign to rid that nati on of leprosy and venereal disease. According to the New York Times. Hatem had gone in 1936 "with the writer Edgar Snow to the Communist stronghold in Yenan, deep in northern China. For the next decade he served the medical needs of the Communists' Eighth Route Army. Then , as the Communists took control in 1949, he helped organize the country's public health effort. His contributions were hailed in the United States by a number of awards, including D in 1986, the prestigious Albert Lasker " Public Service Award. Before going to Yenan, Hatem had practiced medicine in Shanghai, mainly serving people with venereal disease. He became disillusioned, however, with the government's efforts to attack1be disease at its sociological roots, according to auth or Snow. Although he was not a Communist and spoke no Chinese at that time, he resolved to go to Yenan to see what those opposing the government were like. ... Hatem was awarded Chinese citizenship in the 1950s. Hatem too k a premedical course at the University of North Carolina, completed clinical training at the American University in Beirut, and earned a doctorate at the University of Geneva in Switzerland . UB President Steven B. Sample issued this statement on Hatem's death: "Few people in history can equal the medical successes of Dr. George Hatem, Hochfield asks end to sports courtesy car use Reporter Statf resolution to d isco ntinue the co urtesy car program in the Division of Athletics was offered last week by George Hochficld of English to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee. The resol ulion , offered for the senate's considerati on. read : ''The Facully Senate believes that no member of the faculty or staff of SUNY should solicit or accept gifts or services from private individuals or businesses which are not directl y related to the educational needs or mission of the University. We recommend that t he president put an immediate halt to any such practices." To say that .. everyone docs it .. is .. morally queasy," Hochfield said. Provost William Greiner said the courtesy car program .. is up for discussio n in my office ... The ethical issues involved are ..very real," he said . ...Just because: others do it, isn't enough. Still, it doesn' mean that we sbouldn' do it." Those connected with Division I institutions, he said, ... may have notions .. .that may or may not be appropriate to this campus, or to SUNY ." Interviewed on Tuesday. Director of Athletics Nelson Townsend said the . courtesy car program now involves only one car from a local dealer. "The courtesy car program is designed here or at any other institution for the purpose of increasing the funding of the Athletic Department budget by reducing travel costs. Coaches and athletic administrators are required to recruit, tOo do public relatioru, to attend meetings, and to go to various and sundry places in support of the program and in representing the University." He added: "If these charges were assessed to the division's travel budget, in no way could the budget support these costs. The Athletic Department is simply operating by established procedures familiar to the field of intercoUegiate athletics. Howev~r. we are prepared to abide by any rule or regulation that the University might establish that's contrary to the program." A I n the case of out-of-town trips to sco ut players and conduct other business, travel expenses are reimbursed., said T ownsend. But UB coaches and athletic idministraton log a lot oC milca&e travel- dies in China who throughout his long and distinguished career bas played a leading role in the development of Chinese health care. Over the past half century, he led the fight agairut dreadful diseases like cholera, venereal disease and leprosy in China, and in the process saved the lives of many millions of Chinese. "We in Buffalo have been very proud that Dr. Hatem, the son of Lebanese immigrants, is also a native son of our city. In 1987, I bad the pl~asure of presenting to Dr. Hatem, in Beijing. an honorary doctor of science degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo. The presence of many of China's top leaders at that ceremony demonstrated the very high esteem in which Dr. Hatem is held in that country. "Dr. Hatem's Chinese name, Ma Haide, is translated as "virtue from overseas.• In this time of sorrow, we join with his family and aU of the people of China in remembering his great accomplishments, his love of humanity, and his devoted efforts to promote world peace. We at the University at Buffalo will always honor his memory." G Books • NEW AND IMPORT ANT <::::::.. By ANN WHITCHER le~der, ing locally to see players and otherwise make the athletic program more visible. "We do not generally get a mileage reimbursement, because it's generally understood that you go where you have to go." It is not unusual to have speaking engagements ... three or four times a week ... Townsend said .... In the academic arena, that is different. I don't know how many times a chemistry professor. for instance, goes on speaking engagements to recruit students. .. AI the same time. we're incurring costs and putting wear and tear on our cars. We're in an upgrade mode. we want to be more visi ble. We have to travel "Town send is proud of the program; it's a competitive edge. " more, we're going to be exposed more. We want this exposure, it's the only way to develop an athletic program." The nature of intercollegiate athletics is competitive, said Townsend. "If my competition is at point x~ and I'm not, then I'm not competing. It's not a question of doing something simply because someo ne else is doing it. But we have to maintlin a competitive edge. If you don' you're- not in this business very long. That's not the case for all the areas of any university ... He added: "Either we are going to increase our travel budget, or we find alternative ways. The courtesy car prcr gram is one such method. It is one dealer's way of contributing to the Univenity's athletic program, and his or her gift is the same as a $4,000 gift from any alumnus who says. •use it for coaches and administrative travel.' That's all it is." He added: "We will abide by the University's policy. If a decision is made not to travel, then we won' travel. If a decision is made to travel on one's own funds, then it will be left up to the individual coach or administrator whether or not to do so." He concluded: "If it is the University's decision that the courtesy car program is not in keeping with the University's standards and philosophy, then we will discontinue it. But we're very proud of the program, as it shows that we are attaining a competitive edge." 4D AREFUES by David Mom:U (Duuoa; St6.9S).

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

Nicorette abuse? Inventor dismisses accusations by 'Newsweek· about his nocotine gum By ED KIEGLE Repofter Staf1 B Professor of Physiology Claes Lundgren calmly dismisses accusations that the nicotine-containing gum he helped invent is being widely abused . "The information I am aware of indicates that only a very small fraction of people get hooked on Nicorette," he said of an Aug. 22 article in Newsweek, which referred to the gum as having achieved "maximum hip ness." · U Since March of 1984, Americans have been using Nicorettc: gum to help in the difficult task of quitting smoking. The gum is based on the concept that, in Lundgren's words, "smoking is a drug addiction." To overcome the addiction, be conceived of a method of taking in nicoaine, the addictive agent, without the harmful tobacco smoke. And the idea for Nicorette was born. T he gum works by dispensing a small amount of nicotine into tbe bloodstream of the patient while it is chewed: The longer it is chewed, the more nicotine that is released, up to 2 mg. Used properly, it bas helped millions kick the smoking habit. '"There are a large number of aniclc:s publ is hed by now, and more arc appear ing reg ularly, the majority of which indicale th a t Nicorette definitely has an important role: in smoking cessation, .. Lundgren explained . .. And it is wonh noting that eve n though there may be some 'black. market ' as this (Newswuk) article s uggests. in all countries whe re Nicorene is sold , except one, it is d is pensed as a prescriptio n drug, .. he co ntinued. The o ne exception is Switzerland . where, Lund gren s:1ys, .. they have the att itude that it is less harmful than smoking, and if cigarettes are honprescription, Nicorette s hould also be nonprescription ... He emphasized that, in general. the g um's use is controlled . .. Even in lhe worst cas~. when a smo ker switches to Nicoretr& but does no t give up Nicorette, both he o r s he and the persons around are infinitely bener off." he added. "So I think the abuse o r non-authorized use is a mino r th ing, although the person who wro te the arti cle chose to emphasize that. .. M ost of Lundgren 's time is spent as a professor of physiology and as director of UB's Hyperbaric Researc h Laboratory, which studies physiological effects at extreme depths. He also co nsiders himself .. a spare-time inventor. .. Indeed, he is a spare-time im;entor with over 100 patents and numerous inventions, eight of which are related to underwater breathing apparatuses. He said the borderline between his work in diving physiology and his inventions is ... a maner of definition. .... am working on a large number of projects which , depending on your definition of "invention,· may or may not be patented when I find time to work on them," he continued. "One of the ideas has to do with a new type of building, another has to do with the conversion of salt water into fresh water ... W here docs his inventor's inspiration come from? According to Lund- gren. it's ..just suddenl y seeing things that need to be d o ne - it's very hard to ex plai n the process. It just happens that all the time o ne sto ps and wonders wh y a th ing is not done in a different way, o r why something has no t been done at alL .. To an ex tent , the sa me creative process is at wo rk in his scie nt ifi c research .

" In addit io n to th e research that suppo rts it, there is a ve ry fo rceful statement by th e public. sho wn by th e increasing demand fo r it," Lundgren sa id . According to a repo rt in the Jan. I 8 issue of Business Week , Merrell Dow Pharmace uticals In c. sold S70 million worth of Ni co rettc last year. " I think nothing can s pea k mo re stro ngly of the effective ness of Nicorctte th an the fact th at sales are increasing worldwid e." said Lund- 8 ut he a lso warns that Nicorettc is not a panacea. " It has to be administr red m conjunction with counseling, careful ins truct ions about howJ.t should be used , and follow-up of the progress o f the patients ... he instructed . " What this g um docs not contain is a substitute fo r po or mo ti vat ion. When the gum is not effect ive. it can always be traced back to lack o f pro per guidance o f the patie nts - it is not a stand-al o ne. cure-all remed y for Sl]lOking cessation. .. All studies I am aware of where the gum is distributed in co nj unction with s uch s uppo rtive help sho w that it has far outperformed any other method that has been publis hed serio usly and tested scientilically, and th at runs lhe whole ga mut from Russian therapy, hypnosis, and acupuncture. to psychological treatments of various kind s.

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

Scientists estimated that the quakes ran ged in intensi ty from 8.4 to 8. 7 on the Richter Scale, sending shocks throughout the entire eastern U.S . and causing damage as far a way as Indiana. the Carolinas and Southern Mississippi.

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

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

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

Gochr03 said . They need sex ·.. to feel 3Ccn. perceived. to feel an attach ment with Social va lues about sex . Gochros went on, change over time. In the 1960s, he said, " the climate of o pinion" a bout sex was "if it feels go od. do it. Thai was 1hc era of Masters and Johnson where everyo ne was striving for bigger and better orgasms." st udent s are fully subsidized by the host co untry. The economic costs to the ~se nding- co untries can be considerable . For a nation like Malaysia. which has more students studying ou tside the cou ntry than in it. the costs of sending studen ts abroad are considerable, and must be paid in foreign exchange. Added to th e direct costs of sponso red students are the mdirrct costs of expenditures on the educatio n of students within Malaysia (ofte n through the bachelor's degree) who may not return. A broader issue is whether it is more cost effective to invest in building very costly academic institutions versus sending students abroad to st udy. Thus, the macroeconomics of foreign stud y is a highl y complex and controversial matter. T here has been very little attention given to the microeco nomics of foreign stud y - the impact on student s and their families. Financing stud y abroad is very difficult for Third World families. yet a majority of foreign students are not funded by government or university so urces. Most privatel y funded students come from well-to-d o urban families. Yet, there are often difficulties ~ith foreign exchange. problems with unanticipated expenses and the like. Students from Iran after the downfall of the Shah and from Nigeria after the collapse of oil prices faced seven: difficulties - and these two countries moved from among the largest .. sending" countries to a much more modest place. Related to economic problems are the inevitable problems of individual adjustment that foreign students have. The change is dramatic. Third World students typically leave a close fam1ly fo r the individualized role of a student in the West. Norms. values, and in the Uni ted States and other major host countries. Foreign student advisors. visa specialists, and evaluators of foreign academic credentials are now part of the staff of many large universi ties. In the U.S ., the National Association for Foreign Students Affairs has a membership of 20.000. An ancillary, and sometimes a bit shady. foreign study industry has appeared as well. Recruitment firms promise Asian st udents a place in an American university, sometimes not telling them that an unknown college in the wilds of Oklaho ma is not equivalen t to Harvard . Such recruiters help to fill the seats of struggling American colleges th atl:annot compete for domestic students. English language coaching sc hools are widespread and promise to help students pass the all-important TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) test. Indeed. the Educational Testing Service. which administers the TOEFL. earns a sig nificant income from the tests. Fo reign study has become a major international phenomenon. While the tremendous increase in the numbers of foreign students which characterized the 1970s has ended, the numbers of students from Asia going to the industrialized nations to study continues to grow. Foreign study is an important economic, po1itica1, and, of course. intellectual and academic matter. It behooves everyone co ncerned - policy makers in government and universities. the academic community and st udents and their families - to understand its full ramifications. Internationalism in higher education is here to stay. $ Ph1lip G . Altbach. a UB faculty member. 1s cu rrently a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution and visiting prolessor at Stanlord. Graduall y ye t drastically ... due to a whole set of unfortunate coincidences. from the incidence of Reagan to the inci dence of AIDS." the climate of opinio n has altered . Today. Goch ros said. we: see .. an emphasis on the dark side of sex. What people think about today when they think abo ut sex. is ··rape. incest . child sex abuse. and AIDS." In thi s gloomy social climate. he added. the parents of the developmen· tally disabled . already "preoccupied with their children's vulnerability," become even less inclined to encourage them to be sexually active. But even in more clement times. parents and even sociaJ workers have been reluctant to encourage the sexual activity of the developmentally disabled . This is because. according to Gochros. one fun damental belief underlies all our changing attitudes about sex: th at all sexual activity should eve ntuall y lead to ··a socially approved pregnancy.·· Gochros called thi.s belief "the reproductive bias.·· enerally, sexual activit y among the develo'pmentally disabled d oes not lead to "socially approved pregnancy ." To be approved by society. pregnancy must be the result of intercourse between members of what Gochros called "the sexual elite:" those who are .. married . heterosexual. health y. able-bodied. intelligent, economicaJiy so und , and young.·· G TV and the movies. he con tinued, reflect this reproductive bias. Romantic relationships in these media almost always invo lve those who belong to the "sex ual elite ... We rarely see exceptions to this standard , GOchros said. even in a movie like Tim, .. where the answer to the burning question, 'can a white, intelligen t, attractive, and relatively young woman fall in love with and have sex with a retarded man?' is ' yes, if he's Mel Gibson.' " "These people have the right to know as much about sex as they can integrate at their level of intelligence . . .. - HARVEY GOCHROS another human being.·· These needs are demonstrated by the fact that the developmentally disabled "arc just as capable and just as frequently fall in love as other people." They also need sex simply as a so urce of st imulation in an often mon otonous existent(. And in the case of the seve re ly retarded , sexual aclivity such as masturbation provides not only stimulation, but a health y alternalive to " banging their heads against the wall" and other selfdestructive behavior. Gochros think s that the developmentally disabled have the right to know as much about sex .. as they can integrate at their level of intelligence," and should be provided with the "right to marry if they are capable of enjoying it." However, he is not, in most cases, advocating sexual intercourse for them. "There's a lot," he said, mod ifying the wo rd s of Gail Sheehy, "between intercourse and a handshake." Keeping this range of possibility in mind. nurses and social workers can "facilitate people enjoying wha t nature has given them." $ �October 6, 1988 Volume 20, No. 6 Ads for birth control prove effective • UB study finds that media campaign can lead young women to be more aware & change their attitudes By SUE WUETCHER IMUSIC THROUGHOUT) SONG : Longer than there' ve been fishes in the ocean, htgher than any bird ever flew, longer than .. pages. the sam ple.

In fact , says Sherlic k. the offender m1ght not even know o r ca re that he or she has hun the other. It is irrelevant for true forgiving, which to her mind is "'.a rational decision to hel p yo urself. ... It s a coming back to the self. It"~ very freeing." If people can forgive , can they also forget? Sherlick offers this advice:" After we have forgiven so meo ne, we: a~e not obligated to li ke that person agam , or feel the same way." The benefits of forgiving, she says. "are the feelings of freedom and se lf-co mpa ssiO n that accompany it."

By ED KIEGLE Reporte1 Stat! he Umversuy of Vienna was profoundly affected by the annexation of Austria by Hitler on March 12. 1938. Edith Sau rer, an associate professo r and social historfln there. was in Bu ffa lo Monday to desc ribe the extent of that effect on T the: fac ult y and student s at the untvc rslly. ''Professors dtd not resist the Nazis," Saurer expla1ncd to the crov.d crammed int o 532 Park Hal l. "On the da y of the annexation. the vice cha ncello r and representatives from the universi ty se nt their co ngratulati ons. On March 22. most Austrian professors swo re an oath of allegia nce to Hitler." Sa urer's research focuses on the social htst ory of Italy and Austria tn th e 18th and 19th cent unes. However. she IS also Interested in the hastory of women's reli · giOslly. Two years ago she considered start ing an mslltute of wome n's studies at the Unive rsity of Vienna. ''Then I became ante: rcsted m the hastory of the uni ve rsity . especially the tim e aro und the Ar~sc hlu ss (annexation).·· sa1d Saurer. She and her colleague s are wor\ong on a collect ion of essays she dcsc nbed a..\ "the f1rst comp rchensave work o n the Naza rule 1n Austria.·· 0 nc of the first cha nges at the univer si ty was the rem oval of Jewish lecturers and students. " Even before th e A nschluss. student s had anti-Se mitic demonstrations and showed support for the Socialists ... Saurer said . " By May 2, Jcwash students needed a special pass to e nt er the umversi ty. . .On Nov. II . they were no longer allowed to stud y. "Jewish fac ult y and other faculty consad ered ' politically unreliable ' received letters 1n April of 1938 ... she added . "The letters saad they were not allowed to teach . By Ap ril 10. a ll Jewish lec tur ers I ~ :; had been re moved ." In the medicaJ school, for example. 132 of the 197 facult y members left . according to Saurer. Some of the faculty were se nt to conce ntration camps. so me emigrated, but onl y eight returned after the Nazis had been defeat ed . " Postwar Austria made no effort to call therri back," said Saurer. T he removal of half of the facult y caught the atte ntion of the power hungry professors wh o remained . .. Suddenly. party membership and political co nnection s could determine an academic career ... Saurer said . She added : ''A nother consequence of lhe emigration was lhat Sociology and Social Medicine (departments) were replaced by an institute caJled ' racial biology·.-- ln fact , eleven new .. institutes" were established . Among these were the Institute for Drama, the Institute for J o urnalism, the Institute of Sport, the Institute of Women's Domestic Work , and the Institute of the History of the Postal Service. -The Institute of the History of the Postal Service was fo unded by the Ministry of the Paste.·· said Saurer. "The Edilh Saurer: On !he day of annexalion, !he vice chancellor sen! congralulations to the Germans. University of Vienna had never experienced such government control. It always used to have autonomy." ~ She continued : ..The Institute of Journali sm was moved to the Philosophy Depanment, but the negotiations had been worked out by the Ministry of Propaganda before the university was notified of the move." Saurer suggested that the institute could have been easily subjugated to produce Nazi propaganda. "The initiative for the institutes came from outside the university, and they all focused on the practical aspects of the subject, .. she said. Perhaps the most blatant example is the Institute of Women's Domes tic Work, which instructed women in how to teach cleaning, sewing, cooking, and child-raising at girls' schools. .. The University of Vienna's role as a link to Southern Europe was never realized by the Nazis primarily because financial constraints prevented the systematic development of the SociaJist programs," Saurer concluded . First. 1988 marks the 50th anniversary of the An.schlws. Second. Saurer noted, 1988 is the year of Austrian acceptance of the eve nt. "There was very little resistance to the Nazis in 1938, and Austrians canno t say 'the past is gone, we should not keep thinking, about it'." she said . Saurer's lecture was part of a series of discussions on · German history. On Tuesday. Ursula Vogel of the University of Manchester. England, spoke on the legaJ history and rights of ,women throughout 18th century Europe. On Oct. 10. there will be a day long colloquium on .. The Two Germanies Since 1945." Speakers will include Prof. C hristian Klessman and Prof. Jorn Rusen from We st Germany, Prof. Wolfgang Ko!ller , and Dr. Wolfgang Meinicke from East Germany, and Prof. Henry Turner from Yale University. On Oct. 12, Walter Schmidt, director of the Central Institute for History of the Academy of Sciences in East Berlin, will discuss the Jewish past in East Germany. Georg lgge rs of the UB History Department calls this lecture the "iirst open discussion of the subject outside East Germany."

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

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

If a sy nthelic form :of hemoglobin can be developed . it would have a tremendou.s impact on the treatment of patients and disease." N oble and colleagues working al Veterans Administration Medical Center will have a dual responsibilitY. They will work with human proteins manufactured in bacteria, converting them into synthet ic hemoglobins to be used by researchers at all five centers. They also will study propenies of these synthetic hemoglobins, panicularly the kinetic prol"'nies of their reactions with oxygen. Pan of 1he challenge will be overcoming drawbacl<.s displayed by natural hemoalobin that limit its usefulneu u an OX)lltn carrter when it is removed from red blood cells.

By this procedure, hemoglobin will be mod ified in an attempt to overcome two drawbacks in the propenies of the natu· ral protein. "The problem is that when you take hemoglob in outside of bood cells, it has a number of propenies that make it a poor oxygen trans porter." Noble noted. "The molecule dissociates into smaller uniu that pass through the kidneys and are lost in urine. It also has too high of an affinity for oxygen on its own, binding so tightly with oxygen that it will nol release it 10 the tiss ues in the body. " N oble, whose researc h has focused on hemoglobin for 24 years, said it is hoped that the appropriately a hered hemoglobin produced by him and his colleagues in the project can then. in turn , be manufactured in large quantilies in£. coli. "It's imponanl to s treu that applies· tions are a long way dt>wn the road.'" he added. " At the moment, we are trying to learn how to produce a molecule that would work ouuide red blood celiJ. But given such a molecule, one would have to learn how to manufacture it in large enough quantities. I'm sure that's solvable, bul that's not whal we're working on." Noble is chief of .t he Laboratory of Protein Chemistry at Veterans Admin istration Medical Center. Working with him on tbe project are two research chemists at the medical center, Laura Kwiatkowski, research assisl.ant professor of medicine at UB; and Alice Wile, research assistant instructor in medicine. CD �September 29, 1988 Volume 20, No. 5 SMOIIIG AT WORK Sample, unions sign guidelines • Starting Oct . 1, smoking will be prohibited in work areas unless all employees agreE)QtO allow it By MARK E. RUFF Aeponer Slall Culminating two years of union and management negotiations, President Steven B. Sample Monday signed a set of guidelines for smoking in the workplace. The guidelines, which go into effect, Mon<iay, Oct. 3, prohibit smoking in all bathrooms and locker rooms. Smoking is also prohibited in any regularly assigned work space - unless all of the employees agree to allow it, the guidelines state. Copies of the new policy will soon be distributed to all offices on campus. cuing thi s proccu 1n moti o n S Gove rnor's Orricc: of Employee was u memorandum from the Relaliona. iuucd a bout two years ogo. It urged all State agencies to develop these guidelines jointly with union officials . Consequen tl y, a.._Aommittce was formed at U 0 led by 18111ciate Vice President for Human Resources Clifford Wilson . The committee included management and union representatives. Wilson commented: " I think it i• important to note that labor and manaacmcnt agreed to this policy. This isn~ something the compus administrators arc ohovina down our throou. Politi· cally. this Is a criticol thing in thot un ion• helped cooperate ond really believe atronaly in what we've done." Sample alJo cmphuizcd the importance of thio joint effort. "I think this policy ~p~senll a aood step forwtird for the University in terms of havina a policy which will be a buis for molvina disputes ... the union leaders and the management leaders have worked together and reached a unallimous decision. I think if we take that approach more often. we11 all be a lillie bellcr off." T he new auidclinea arc intended to uphold the righu of both smokers and non-smoke,... According to Sample, the 8081 was to reach .. some sort of an accommodation." He added : "One of the thing• that I liked is that it dldn~ take sidcA. It rccogoiJCJ thAI p<!oplc have a right to u s mokc·free environment and thut people huvc the right to •mokc." Similarly. Harvey Axlcrod . the rcprc•cntativc or the lluffalo Center chapter of the United Unlvc,..lty Profession• tuliP). maintained that "'the trick wu• fi nding a balunce that both cou ld coexist with . .. We were definite that we were not going to be punitive toward smoking and we were not goina to ~ inac nsitivc toward non-smokero." Axlcrod stated . " ) think that this is the firll attempt to codIfy it ." Consequently, no amokl ng is allowed In any campus ~a that constitutes the regularly aulancd work space unless all of the employees usigoed to that space agree to allow amok ina. Similarly, smoking is pro!Ubited in conference and meet ina rooms unlcJJ all panics aarec that It should be otherwise. If a smoker, however, is usigncd tp a non-smokina a~a. he or she should~ allowed to leave the workplace for occac:cional breaks. Likewise. such "smoking llh:aks" a~ permiued durina meetings. Flexibility l1thc key word for this policy, Wilson said, st~ssina that employees and bosses should try to molvc any disputes on their own. "We're sUJU!Citing a representative of the CSEA. "ultimately. the non-smoker will p~vail in such a connict." Similarly. Wilso~ mentioned that the SUNY College at Ocncsco has adopted a policy or banning smoking altogether in the workplace. encath the controversy is a ~calt h iuuc, Wilson maintained. The Unithat smok.ina con tltutcs a serious health haurd. he said. "If smokers want to ru in their own lunp. it 's 8versity rccoaniz.cs "Flexibility is the key word.

"Some employee have been very creati ve. " I think there"• enough ncxibility there so that it (the guideline•) will fit every situation. I'm optimistic that people arc pretty much of aoodwill ... Wilson added . If the "aoodwill of the University community members"' is not sufficient to resolve all dlsputcs. then union• or the committee can be notified. he said . However, the rights of the non-smoker will prevail if the situation cannot be resolved . According to Kathy Bcrchou. Sample. the lengthy debate over the guidelines will sc-rvr as an auct. " In a Univcni ty. when yo u have a policy that wa• ac hieved through a lot of diJCUIIlon and in time people adop t that policy ... it becomes part of the majority policy." The policy •hould further help people to quit smoking. Berchou said . ""You can make It caller for them (to quit smoking) if you offer them the opponunity to do so in the work sclling." The majority of those allendina the signing ceremony then admitted to being ex-smokers themselves. Concl uded Wilson : " lm not so naive to think that we won~ have some problem•. but I think that when we do. wc11 be able to resolve them in a succeJSful manner... G Quit Clinic offers the chance to kick Jhe habit By MARK E. RUFF Stall Reporter Smoking traditionally conjures up images of vile air, lung cancer, and emphysema. Yet addressing individual behavior, thoughts, and feelings is most effective at weeding out the habit, said public health educator Jim Powers. Research by the American Cancer Society shows that this approach is the most successful one. commented Powers. who plana to lead a Life Workshop entitled "Fmh Stan - Smoker's Quit ., Clinic .. next month. . \J Consequently. Powers· workshop~ plaa: a heavy emphasis on group Interaction. "Although the~ is an element or !«:turing," he noted.

This set of procedures is designed to establish a welldefined but flexible structure including in its purview the issues unique to graduate edu'*'tion as well as academic areas common to all facultyfudent or administration-student relationships. The grievance procedures constitute a framework for the orderly and expeditious resolution of disputes. Effectiveness and efficiency, therefore. are key elements of such a framework . However. the concern of the G·raduate School goes well beyond an administrative interest in providing steps to be taken when one of its members haSJI quarrel with another. While recognizing and affirming the established principle that academic determinations are to be reached solely by academic professionals. it is the School's intention that to the mzximum extent feasible its procedures secure equitable treatment to every party to a dispute. To that end. those who oversee the grievance process are charged to pay heed not only to issues of procedural integrity but also to considerations of substantive fa irn ess. I Procedures 1. Definition and Jurladlctlon A. A grievance shall include but not be restricted to a complaint by a graduate student: 1 . that there had been to one's self a violation. misinterpretation or inequitable application of any of the regula!~ of the University, Graduate School; Faculty or Departmm.t. or 2. that there has been unfair or inequitable treatment by reason of any act or condition contrary to established policy or practice governing or affecting gradua!e students. B. A grievance must be tiled within one year from the date of the alleged olfense. This time limit may be extended by the Graduate Dean upon good cause. 11. Grievance Resolution Proc_. ad;';;i~~;;'a~Z/~~~1: The department or comparable 1. Informal discussion: Virtually all disputes originate at the department or comparable administrative unit and should. if feasi ble. be resol ved informally by the disputants. These part1es should attempt to resolve amicably the dispute rnvolved. It may be useful for the stud ent to seek the assistance first of h1s I her advisor and then of the department chairperson or director of graduate studies as a mediator to resolve the issue even-handedly. 2. Formal review: The student who feels the grievance is severe should request a hearing with the departmental gnevance committee. Th e chairperson shall rule on the case with1n 30 days of rece1ving the grievance or stipulate in writing the reason(s) why this is impossible. If the department chairperson is the party against whom the grievance is brought. either as a teaching faculty member or as chairperson. an associate charr or director of graduate studies shall convene and chair the gnevance committee. B Divisional Level . If the student wishes to appeal the departmental ruling. the written statement of the grievance shall be filed (within 30 days) with the Divisional Dean . If the Dean finds the statement of grievance prov1des reasonable grounds to grieve or raises doubt of prior appropriate review. he/ she; shall convene a Grievance Committee to review the dispute. The committee shall issue a written statement (within 60 days of its receipt of grievance) indicating 1ts findings . recommendations and the reason s for the recommendations to the pertinent parties to the dispute, the departmental chairperson. the Divisional Dean and the Office tor Graduate Education. 1. Composition of the Committee. The Divisional Grievance Commillee shall include a minimum of three faculty "members and one graduate student. but shall not include repre sentatives from the department involved in the grievance. . The Divisional Dean shall select the commntee members from the Divisional Panel which consists of at least one faculty and one student representative of each department. At the beginning of each new academic year. the composition of the Divisional Panel will be forwarded to the Office for Graduate Education. The process lor selecting Divisional Panel members will be determined by each Division. The members of these committees shall be selected so that no panel member is involved in a disproportionate number of grievances. Each principal to the dispute shall have the option of requesting, without stipulating the reason, the replacement of one member of the commillee hearing the grievance. If any principals find other members or replacements inappropriate. the party shall transmit. within ten days of the naming of the committee, a written statement of the grounds of this "challenge tor cause" to the Divisional Dean who shall rule on its merits and either retain or replace the committee member so challenged. Each panel member selected shall have the option of disqualifying himself or herself from the commillee by stipulating reason s why this panel member feels unable to deal unbiasedly on the grievance. 2. Operating Procedures The Divisional Dean shall give the Divisional Grievance Committee copies of the written grievance. all documentation and recommendat ions from the departmental proceedings, as well as a copy of the Grievance Procedures for Graduate Students. The principals shall also receive a copy of this tile. Each principal shall receive copies of all information presented to the committee. The committee shall convene review(s ) necessary to allow both principals the opportunity to present their positions and shall allow each principal the right to question the presentation (written or verbal) of those who contribute information to the committee. Each principal shall have the right to be present' and to have one or two advisors present at all reviews. In no case shall the advisor be an attorney unless he/she is a member of the faculty not acting in the capacity of a member of the bar. Such review shall be conducted in confidence. A record of each meeting of the committee shall be kept and transmitted to the principals. The committee shall issue a written statement (within 60 days of rece ipt of grievance) indicating its findings . recommendatrons and the reasons for the recommendation s to the pertinent part1es to the dispute. the departmental chairperson. the Divisional Dean and the Office for Graduate Education. Notice will be. by certified mail. The grievant will be allewed 30 days from receipt of notice to appeal. C. Graduate School Level On rare occasions. when all established procedures within a division have been exhausted. it may be appropriate for the Graduate Dean to consider a final University appeal. · .1&.,-ladlctlonal Guldelinea ,Appeal to the Graduate Dean will be allowed upon satisfaction of the following req uirements: 1. The student grievant must submit three (3) copies of a written statement to the Graduate Dean describing the specific reason(s) tor the requested appeal. 2. The Dean of the division in question must certify that the student grievant has exhausted all procedures provided within the division and that the Dean's decision is a final decision at the division. In general. the Graduate Dean will consider only those appeals in which there is good cause to believe that prior proceedings have resulted in a decision contrary to law, the Policies of the Trustees. or policies of SUNY at Buffalo. In general. the Graduate Dean will not consider appeals which merely challenge the appropriateness of a judgment reached alter a full and fa ir review and disposition of a matter by th e department and the dea!' of the division. Procedure The initial appeal petition mus be submitted by the grievant within 30 days of receipt of the final decision at the division level. The Grad uate Dean (or a designee) will review the petition submitted by the grievant and make a preliminary deterrniRation regarding the jurisdiction of the Graduate Dean. If it is determined that the Graduate Dean should not exercise jurisdiction, the grievant will be so informed, and given leave to file an amended statement of grievance. Notice will be by certified mail, and the grievant will be allowed 30 days from receipt of the notice to fi le an amended statement. If no amended statement is filed , or if an amended statement 1S still judged deficient on jurisdictional grounds, the appeal will be dismissed. and notice of dismissal of the appeal will be sent to the grievant by certified mail. If it is determined that the Graduate Dean should exercise jurisdiction, the Graduate Dean or designee. within 30 days of rece ipt of the appeal petition, shall: 1. Forward a copy of the student's statement of grievance to the divisional Dean. 2. Give the Divisional Dean an opportunity to respond to the student's statement of grievance. · 3.

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

I Graduate_Student Association he 6000 member Graduate St~ dent Association. second largest student constituency on campus. represents a potent political force dedicated to the role of .advocacy in matters pertaining to graduate students. Every graduate student is encouraged to participate. whether focally within his or her departmental club. working on one of the many special GSA projects and committees, or Participating in th e deliberation of the GSA Senate. Similar to other student governments, GSA administers the student activity fee and-serves as the representative of the graduate student population. It is the way in which these duties are handled, however, which gives GSA its unique and •esponsible character. GSA also provides a financial assistance program to those ,tudents nearing completion of their degree work but who are unable to secure the necessary research assistance through T departmental means. The Mark D1amond Research Fund program offe rs up to $300 for master's degree students and up to $500 for doctoral candidates. The GSA also provides students who feel th ey have a justifiable grievance against a faculty member or administrat or with a Graduate Student Advocate. The Advocate will assist and guide students through the grievance process, ensuring that all paperwork is properly filed and the proper procedures are followed. . GSA has led th e fight for improving graduate student life at UB. but in order to maintain their high level of activity. GSA needs involvement' For further information on any GSA program or activities. stop in the GSA-office in t03 Talbert Hall or call 636-2960.

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

CHANCEllOR JOHNSTONE UNY Chancellor Bruce Johnstone appears to seek a new - and wiser - way of determining the SUNY budget, Provost William Greiner said Friday in an interview. Greiner added that if the present budget difficulties persist, it would be better to eliminate a unit or units, rather than to continue spreading cuts across the University. He also described a relatively new effort to gather faculty input on the budget. S rcincr ~hnstonc's cxpcncncc .., a SUNY college prestdent has allowed him to get a different vantage ' poi nt on how the SUNY budget ts formula ted . He adds: "I think it IS ht s WISh that ttte level of request we make be more finely attuned to a shared understanding of th e fiscal condition of the State . And that it be realistically tuned to SUNY's needs . That is , we (should) try to give as clear and honest a picture u we can of SUNY's real needs and where we would hope we would get some additional help.

And that it be realistically tuned to SUNY's need: �v~22,1988 20, No.4 BUDGET Thcy'r< not villains. On the other hand , they do an awful lot of things to help us. "They are not opposed to the SUNY system . But they do have a job to try every year to take al l the incredible collective desi res of the people of the State. as they are expressed through thei r elected officials. and package them in such a way that also meets the much less, but still very gene ro us. expectations of the people of the State about how much they shou ld pay in taxes. And we as citizens want more services than we want to pay for as taxpayers. " Thert is a cenain )'in and yang"' quality to the relationsR'ip, Greiner pointed out. " I think Bruce recognizes th is aspecl. He 's got to challenge the DOB a nd they've go t to challenge him. But J think it can be done from a basts of mutual understaRding and respect .·· He added : "The DOB must not let the SUNY system bankrupt th e State of New York .

Ne 11her want s to do bankruptcy to the othe r And yel. m the past, I th ink eac h \1. ~ approachmg it as if that was what we had to prevent against. .. In any case, the present system needs review, the provost indicated. ..Last spring, given the (issue of fully funding the) Earthquake Center on this campus, plus all the problems the system had, we exhausted a lot of goodwill in the lcgisla· ture. The State executive branch and its foibles and the executive branch within SUNY exhausted the legislature last spring. I think the legis lature would be right to, at so me point, say, 'go away, '" both of you. A s for the effects of the budget on U B's acade m ic quality , Gre ine r said : ··we had a budget redu ction this year that was very severe. It has created some major problems in the ability of th is campus to get so me things done. On the other hand , we enter th e fall wi th more stud ents than we've ever had before . "Now the simplistic, unsophisticated analysis by a bureaucrat might be, 'hey, this is a great deal for the State. They cut their budget and took more students .' But I would say ou r capacity to con tinue to present a quality program for all these students has been severely r<duced ." He continued: ''It's not that the credit hours of instruction are less. There are probably roore of them in order to accommodate all the students. But in "Greiner welcomes the continuing involvement of a Senate committee." order to do that, we've had to do less of other things. Certainly in the r<Search enterprise, the progress has been slowed by this kind of thing. The maintenance of our essential infrastructure is also very badly affected by this. "The damnable tbing is that the impact on academic quality is not so mething you can sec immediately. It's a slow process of erosion. The real cost is the opponunities lost, the things that we might dl;::that we can't do . . . .The real effect of this year's reduction in terms of what's going to be permanently reduced is probably not going to be felt until next year." Greiner said the University took a budget reduction "of well over S2 million when you add it all up , in terms of reso urces that we can deploy. Collectively, the officers of the campus have to find $2 million wonh of activi ty that we stop doing. We can do it by spreading it out across the board. And that helps conceal the depth of the injury. Or, alternatively, we could go and nail some major activities that add up to ($2 million). .. Quite frankly , if we were to continue in that d irection that's where I would lean very strongly. For every Sl million worth of reduction that the State (man· dates), I feel we ought to go in and elimi- nate S I million worth of singular activ ies. "If we take another $2 million reduction, 1 will try and find a S2 million unit to cut back. The last thing we would end up closing, because of the pain (involved ) and the obligations we have to students. would be academic units. Yet we can't keep spreading it th inner and thinner all the time:." An alternative, he added, is to consider charging fees for materials or services that are now free . .. We've expanded our notion of gifts and contracts, but we haven' thought much a bout fees . The idea that the State will pay for everything is a pipe dream." G reiner added that he welcomes the continuing involvement of th e Faculty Senate 's budget priorities committee, chaired by Claude Welch of Pol· itical Science. Th is is a ..dedicated, experienced group," he said, who have taken the time to learn more about the yearlong budget process. "Budget making and budget execution is a 12 month-a-year process. with certain key times and key events where certain crucial decisions have to be made. ... think we 're far enough along in the game to be able to bring in the budget priorities committee at some of the key decision times, on the one hand to get guidance. and on the other hand to get a critique ... The committee helped the University grapple with the recent mid-year budget r<duction. Said Greiner: "1 think fr<· quent and regular interaction with the budget priorities committee on the whol& subject of budget formation and budget execution is going to be very beneficial to this campus." Others on the budget priorities committee, arc Stanley H. Cramer, Thomas Davis, Robert J . Genco, Thomas E. Headrick, Dennis P. Malone, George H . Nancollas, Charles V. Paganelli, William J . Rae , Powhatan J. Wooldridge, Anthony L. Campanelli, Rita G. Lipsitz.. and Sharon M. Schiffbauer. 4D FSEC looks once more at four-year-ahead calendar By ANN WHITCHER Reponer S!aH T he tricky iss ue of devisi ng a four- year-ahead academic calendar came under another review by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee last week . The calendar, prepared in consultation with a co mmiuee chaired by Mitchell Harwitz of Economics and the Provost 's Office, extends through 1993-1994. Following a discussion of seve ral technical problems with the proposed calendar, Senate Chair John Boot commented: .. There was a reason for the madness." There is little nexibility for the planners, he explained , because of the number of obligatory holidays and other days on which classes can' be held . As for integration with caJendars at other sc hools - Buffalo State College in panicular - Boot said that .. if we work fast. we ca n send it out and others can accommodate (their calendars) to us. We can't reaJly consult others, since there is no Oc>tibility." William Miller of Dentistry again sug· gcsted that the inclusion of religious holidays may violate the principle of separation of church and state. Why not have several penonal days that could be used as one wiJhed, he wondered. The iJsuc of teligiow holidays will become "more complex," he stated, "as the Uni· venity becomes more international ... He added : " Yes, Christmas holidays arc being accommodated , but I'm not asking that it be so." Dennis Malone of Engineering said the calendar problems began when the University decided to finish its fall semester before Christmas. .. We then began to have problems because we staned the se mester so early." Barbara Howell of Physiology wondered wh y Washington's Birthday is observed as a class holiday. The matter hadn' come up, said Boot, who asked the calendar committee to look into it. Claude Welch suggested th"t the calendar committee review calendars of other large New York State universities. T he senate also heard from new WBFO General Manager Bill Davis, who said he hopes to make the station more of a vehicle for the .. University's mission .. than has been the case in recent years. He then described budding projects involving UB faculty and promised that listeners will find changes in the sta· lion's line-up .. in the next three to four months." Davis also discussed new efforu to originate National Public Radio programming here. He added that two N PR programs arc sending correspondents to cover next month's International Women Playwrights Conference. "We need more national feeds," said Victor Doyno of English, who welcomed DaviJ ••to this intellectual community ... Boot noted that the station is .. an extrao rdinarily expensive program to run. Faculty support has ~n disa ppointing to some extent. We hope we can do better in the furore ... I n other business, the executive commince passed unanimousl y a resolu tion noting that the FSEC had reviewed the pro posal to reorgan ize the Sch_ool of Management , " think s it received appropriate review in the school, and has no objections to its implementation ... The senate also heard a repon from Eugene Martell, director of Career Plan· ning and Placement, and bricOy dis· cussed what some faculty feel is a "crisis" in the libraries' ability to order needed journals. Peter Nickerson of Pathology said facult y input is needed in these discussions. Boot and Raymond Hunt, both of Management, said faculty in their school have been adequately consulted on the matter. Associate Librarian Wilma Cipolla said the libraries are anxious to respond to these faculty concerns. CD Nuclear War Prevention group slates first meeting of the year onathan Reichen, director of UB's Nuclear War Prevention Studies graduate group, is inviting interested faculty and students to the group's first meeting of the year, Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Reichert's home, 191 Darwin Drive, Snyder. Among the items for discussion: • An upcoming conference on "the moral and ethical dimensions of the arms race and their policy implications;" • A proposed undergraduate major and minor program in nuclear war prevention; and J • A hoped-for summer inllitute for high school teachers on nuclear war issues. The National Science: Foundation is inter<Sted in the project, h.e said. Reichert said the group iJ looking for new faculty, especially in aru and !etten and in the sciences.

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

" We arc try ing to determine if mothe rs with pre ~nancy complications are likely to have babies that suffer fet al distress or birth asphyxia and then to determine if these babies are more likely to die of SIDS." SIDS was defined by the Second International Conferencx: on the Causes of SIDS to be "the sudden death of an y infant or 'young child which is unexpected by hiJtory and in which a thor· ough postmortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death." SIDS kil ls one out of every 350 children born in the U.S. It iJ characterized by the death of a seeminaJy healthy baby. Altbou&h the infant may have had a cold at the time, the condition is aenerally not a life threatening one. ln fact , there iJ notbioato indicate imminent death. Buek said that sbe iJ sean:hing for some son of pattern in these deaths. She said that "a lot of reaearchen have looked to see if there an: any environmental facton, and nothing bu shown up." So instead sbe iJ trying to look dCCP,ef into tbe baby's history to find a cause. "What I 'vc attempted to do is usume that the risk facton bepn durin& preanancy. I attempt to see if there an: any preiJiancy related -..u causin& SlDS." "She is trying to find possible indicators of S/OS as a preventive." smaller than ..normal in their weight, length , and head circumferencx:. This suggests that somehow these babiea are bei ng co mprom ised wh ile they 're growi na." Buck said that although there is nu known cause of death, the S IDS babies are not completely healthy. " When they do autopsies on theoc kida, some of the organa renect that they have had long ot and ing o xygen de privatio n be fore death ." She is loo ki ng to see if there arc uny indications that cen ain babies are more likely to become victims of SIDS. " We look to see if the mother had ·1.11)' prcg· nancy complication• or problems J uring labor, or whether at any time in the preanancy the babieo had auffered any fetal diJtreu." Fetal distreu is characterized by such conditions as an abnormal heart rate. be evidence for this usumption deals laraely with the physical condition of tbe baby at the times of both birth and death. "SIDS babies an: blood acid osis (acid ic condition!~. in the blood). anoxia/ hypoxia (oxygen dcpn· vation). and meco nium liqu or (prcma· tu re feca l emission). Buck said that there is al most defi nitely a relation between such distress and S IDS. " Infants with known fetal distress were almost six times more likel y to succumb to S IDS.

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

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

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

Said Jackson: "Which is what the Nazis did when they held their book b.umings. Anytime the public or the government gets rid of ideas, we're the losers." Jackson summed up his feelings about censorship with the statement: "The First Amendment - the right to present your case - is the heart of democracy." picked up and bandied about by the press and soon "people like Nat Hentoff were writing columns saying we bad Ounked the First Amendment." Alben acknowledged the danger of his position. "One of the standard problems in defining any category of speech that is unwelcome is in defining the category you want excluded without intruding on ideas . .. you want to prevent the spilling over effect." Harassing speech is panicularly diffi· ee Alben would agree that the freecult to define. For instance, in sexist and dom of speech guaranteed by the racist language, while "we can n:cognize First Amendment is a valuable right in a hard insult, pure epithet - bow do we free society. However ....to maintain the recognize when they've gone slightly First Amendment position that people beyond (tliat point)?" may say whatever they wish regardless of Prohibiting or sanctioning categories consequences takes a great deal of conof speech is always, Alben said, "a slippery slope.'"

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

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

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

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

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

For men's basketball it was harder. But UB was able to get Brian Goodman, a six-foot. nine-inch player from Michigan. "We haven' had anybody that size in a long time, .. Townsend commented. UB also got Robert Middlebrooks, a six-foot~ six-inch player from Binghamton. who, .. in sports jargon, is a ·real player'," Townsend said . T he UB teams face some tough contenders. In football, the Bulls will play three highly ranked Division Ill Championship contenders Ithaca, Hofstra. and Alfred - and two highly regarded National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics contenders - Findlay and Westminster. They will also play Division II Slippery Rock. In basketball, the men's team will play a full Division II schedule, including a road trip to California during the winter break.

T The budget we received isn't what we asked tor By CONNIE OSWALD STOFKO Reporter StaH be 1988-89 budget that UB got doesn' bear much resemblance to what we asked for, Robert J. Wagner, vice president for University Services, told the UB Council Thursday. Because the State is looking at a S I billion shortfall in its budget, UB suffered a S 1.2 million reduction in its base budget, Wagner explained. To deal with the cuts, Wagner said , people will find buildings colder this winter because U B faces an estimated $500,000 shortfall for utilities. ""- UB will review all purchases over S 10,000 to decide whether they're really necessary or if there's some way to save money. UB has also imposed a hiring freeze . T CD Johnst0ne fears very, very bad fiscal year lies ahead bough it probably won' come to that, it is possible that SUNY might have to close campuses and raise tUition next year to meet State budget cuts, Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone said Friday. Johnstone•s comments were made during an interview with public television's /nsid~ Albany and were picked up by the Associated Press. Johnstone is lect uring in England until next Monday and.couldn' be reached for further comment. Harry K. Spindler, Senior vice chancellor issued the following statement Monda;: "Just as in past years, our budget request (for next year) is under develo!" ment at this moment and the pr~~!' involve the usual consultatoon wtth tbl: campuses. There will be an initial discussion of the budget request by the (SUNY) trustees at their Sept. 28 meeting with formal action on the request not' slated until October." ~ BeCause the State is facing a S I billion deficit this yea.-; Governor Mario Cuomo asked all State agencies to keep their spending requests for the next fiscal year to this year's level. But because SUNY's costs will be higher next year (inflation and salaries are increasing), that wo uld mean a S90 million cut for SUNY. However, accordi ng to the AP story, a spokeswoman for the Division of Budget noted that the actual cuts recomme nded by C~ln January could be smaller. A SUNY spokesman pointed out that during the television intervie-w, Johnstone was asked to discuss the worst..:ase scenario and the chancellor emphasized that be doubted the situat ion would get that bad. But it d ocsn' look good. "Even the best scenario that I can envision is going to be a very bard budget year for the State University," Johnstone told AP. 4D ut people need to keep a couple of B Sample noted . Even with the cutbacks, points in mind, President Steven B. UB still will spend more tax dollars this year than iqlid last year. However, costs for things like wages (which are negotiated outside of SUNY) and equipment are going up while UB's . budget isn' keeping pace. This results in cuts to the base budget. The other point people must remember is th at UB wasn' prepared for these cuts. ... For the firs t time in my administration, we had a mid-year budget cut," Sample added. "That was a dramatic surprise. It had a very unsettling effect." In April, UB was given a budget which it started to spend. Then came a $2.4 million cut during the summer, Wagner explained. Half of the cut was restored by the State Legislature, which left aS 1.2 million cut to the base budget. "So next year our base budget will start with $1.2 million less," be pointed out. At least the flexibility legislation passed a few years ago gives UB the opponunity to make decisions for itself, Sample noted. "What we have here is a severe ch.iU, but not a hiring freeze, " he explained . "Under the old rules, there would have been a bureaucratic freeze and a bureaucrat in Albany would decide if we could "At least flexif?ility legislation gives UB the opportunity to make its own choice on how to cutback. " hire someone." Instead, UB itself now decides if It can afford to make an appointment. Each campus is now managing its own utilities budget, Wagner added. If UB can save money there, it can use that money for other things. (This was a son: spot for UB officials in the past. UB launched an energy-saving campaign in 1982 that saves tens of thousands of doll ars a year. But UB wasn' allowed to keep the money it saved and was saddled with a smaller utilit!;s budget to boot.) 0 n tb,e topic of construetion, Sample noted that UB is now "bursting at the seams" and has installed I0 trailers on• the .Amherst Campus to provide I 8,000 net square feet of research space. " But they're, temporary," UB Council Chairman M. Robert Koren noted, reminding Sample of his vow that the wheels wouldn' be removed from the trailers.

Perhaps 8:40 or 8:45 a. m. rau Seemingly, this would give the shuttle syst~m a .m?re effective means for carrying ou t '.ts mwton of alleviating campus parkmg problems. Ex~utive Ed itor.

Those interested in the details of the case may consult the books mcnl!oned and (in the University Archi\'eS) an unpublished essay which Ed~·a rd , Madden and I wrote on the occaston of Parry's retirement. It suffices hm to say that, although the then Depanm<nt Chairman Marvin Farber displayed courage and integrity, the UB Chancellor the UB Council and the Ex~tive Committee of the College of Ans and Sciences lacked the moral fibre needed to defend academic freedom in the face of political pressure. Perhaps things would ha'< happened differently if Samuel Capen. a person renowned for his defense of academic freedom, had still been Chancellor. l..et us not forget the shimeful way Professor Parry was treated . and let us resolve never to allow such violations of academic freedom to occur h e~ again.

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

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

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

Additionally, a special efion bas been made to involve students in this year's campaign. Student fund· raisers include a volleyball marathon the first week in October. Comments Stein: "There ~ absolute commitment by all segments of the Univenity to make it a highly su~ful drive." • Y13arly drive offers a chance to bring hope to the dispossessed and the disheartened By ANN WHITCHER "This Reporter Staff S isn't a ·campaign about organizations. It's not even a · campaign about universities. It's about essential services in our community." Ron Stein, vice president for University relations and chairman of the SEFA administrative group, finds in the yearly drive a chance to bring hope to the dis· possessed and the disheanened. The administrative group, be adds, has been meeting biweekly since January, determining ways to meet the University's goal and to alen the campus com· munity to SEFA 's imponance. "Our goal this year is to raise $462,500, an increase of 12.5 per cent over last year. This is the second highest dollar increase in the history of SEFA at UB. To reach it, we will have to get more people to increase their pledges from last year, and will also have to increase the number of people giving." The depanment average for giving to SEFA is about 66 per cent, Stein says. In some depanments, it is much higher. But the challenge this year will be to raise UB's goal when there are fewer people on the payroll than in 1987-88, because of the hiring freeze imposed in June. "We've bad a special request from the United Way to really stretch our contribution. There are agencies that are not getting their needs met. We aren 'l talking about fluff here, but about essential agencies that will not be served unless people dig a little deeper. I know people at the University will come forward. "SEFA is ~g kids, it's combating drug abuse and ho~lessness, it's helping troubled adolescents."

He adds: "A lot of very imponant work is done here, in the medical school, in the ans, and in education, for instance, that helps people throughout ~ world. It is only appropriate that we try to also improve the lives of those who reside in our community." that it remaini strong and effective ui Western New Yorlc." Stein says that ~ retired faculty and olunteeu from thoouahout tbe University are now at work. A recent training session in Stein'l offiCe drew 100 penons who will conduct the campaign in their respective offoces. Stein says opponunities remain for those who wo.uld still like to voluflteer. "Since SEFA allows one t.o designate the agency or qencies, our goal is 100 per cent participation." . Stein-explains that the campaign goal was based "on interaction with the deans based on payroll and employment fig· ures provided by the Office of Human Resow=." In addition to Stein, memben of the SEFA administrative group are John G. K.arrer, Terry J . McGuire, Richard A. Jones; Clifford B. Wtbon, Barbara D. Mierzwa, Tbomu D. Flanapn, Arthur W.

"Traditionally, those in the labor movement have taken care of their own; in addition, we also take care of those in tbe community at large," the letter states. "We have a long and excellent record of tein announced that the corporation that operates F oijett Bookstore bas instituted a doUar-for-doUar matching campaign. "For each $1 their UB employees contribute to SEFA, the corporation will match it with another $-1 ." Adds Stein: "We're cenainly the driving force in SEFA locally. UB contributed more than $423,000 last year. So the University was responsible for more than half of the pledges made during the 198788 'SEFA of the Niagara Frontier' campaign." • School of Management Dean Joseph A. Alutto chairs this year's United Way drive, Stein nmes. This fact, along with the key roles played by othe£UB employees in the United Way and S A, shows the imponaoce of the Unive · in the annual campaign. "People in the community look to the University for leadership. The Univenrity is seen by the community as very impOrtant to the success of tbe campaign. ln fact, it is , pan of our public service generous contributions to SEFA.

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

Jbarruri, a Spanish communist leader, also was known as L.aPasionaria, or Passion Flower. An impassioned orator, she is credited with coining the battle ery: "They shall not pass." Kramer, wbo returned to Spain in 1986 for a 50tb anniversary reunion of surviving veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, bas since paid educational visits to Cuba and the Soviet Union. In his early years, Kramer became a maritime union organizer, and from I 939 to I 943 be served as an able-bodied seaman with the U.S. Merchant Marine.

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

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

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

We can c~mpare hardware in several different ways. CPU speed IS a conyement re(erence point, since the time-a single stel? or lnstruct1on of a program takes provides a reasonable baSis of companson for two computers that will run the same kind ot programs. We_can also compare computers by the size or potential s1ze of pnmary memory.

Faculty, researchers, and staff new to our comput1ng enVIronment may want to ask staff consultants and oth;er faculty and staff members for advice in determining wh1ch system I.S best for their needs. Individual instructors usually determme the computing environment for classes. j Ac~essing thtLlar_ge___ . . ! Computer Systems : Having determined what kind of systems are available how • can you get access to a particular system? A computer account (usemame and password) is required to access each system. All registered students, faculty, and stSff can obtain a username (account) on the VAXcluster, where an on-Une use!'"ame ass1gnment program creates usemames based on soc1al secl!nty number (SSN) or student number for those students without a SSN. To facitute the creation of usemames at the start of each (when demand is the heaviest), we set aside one terminal at each of our Computing sites solely for th1s purpose. It is usually located close to the consultant's office; look for the signs marked VAX USERNAME~.

ETHERNET he ETHERNET ne1w0rk is a high speed (1OM bps) backbone network that connects all of the major hosts on campus as welt as various workstations and o1her departmental local area networks. This ne1w0rk is ideal for doing large file transfers hom host to host ~ The University at BuHalo Campus ETHERNET has a gateway to the rest of the world through the NYSERNet network which is a subset of the Internet ne1w0rk. These networks are based on the TCP /IP protocol and have connections to most of the major universities and research centers around the wortd. Our ne1w0rk connection to NYSERNet has been recently upgraded to 1.544 Mbps. Local Area Networks A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of PC's connected together in order Jo provid!! communocatrons between statoons and access to shared resources such as printers and disk . storage. Software can be shareQ. and files passed from statron to station within a LAN. The Cornpu1ing Center provides both sollware and hardware support for I:THERNET. IBM Token Ring, and PHONET networks. We are currently working on gateways from the various LANs to the campus backbone ETHERNET. Sperry .. The Sperry Synchronous Network is a network of PC s woth PEP boards that communicate directly with the Sperry mainframe for aominlstrative purpose.

These sHes are equipped with term1nats and printers, and are staffed by trained consultants. A list of our public sites with a brief summary of the equipment, services, and hours at each site follows. We hope that th1s information will help you jdentify the facilities most suitable for your computing needs. • Access to the mainframe and minicomputers is provided by a Digital Communications Associates multiplexing system (DCA) which allows many terminals and microcomputers on our campuses to access virtually all of the University's computin~ resources. Users can access not only the University s local computers, but also computers and networks that span the world. With appropriate knowledge and permissions, a user on the DCA network In Buffalo could communicate with a VAX at SUNY Binghamton, the send some electronic mail supercomputer at Cornell, and or a small file to a colleague at a university in England.

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

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

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

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

Anna Kay France, conference director and associate professor of English here, estimates that more than 2,000 theatre professionals, scholars , critics, and members of the public are expected to attend performa_nces and olher events associated with the conference. The conference wi ll showcase the work of women ,playwrights fro m six continents, most of whom have bad little opportunity to meet and discuss thei r work. A series of workshops, staged readinss. theatre demot"U"tions, and d iscussions will comprisNhe "Playwfights' Sessions" to be held Oct. 18-20 at Amherst. Registration for these sessions is limited, and 200 to 300 playwrights are expected to attend. On Oct. 21 -23, "Public Sessions" will be held in the downtown Theatre District during which playwrishts will again stage readinss and explore the diversity of form and content in women's drama with schOlars. critics, and general aud iences through a series of panels. Among issues to be discussed a.re the question of whether women·s aesthetic sense d iffers from that defined by men: the use made of myth, folklore , and rituai; how women writers ""censor" themselves and why; the use of humor and comedy; whether lesbian writers speak with a ...different" vo ice; and how women perceive and articulate the use of power. Issues related to role definition by ge nder and family · dynamics, women UB is U Playwrig~ event Ieven of Buf lo's professional theatre companies will produce plays written by women which will run during the eveninss of Oct. 14-23 in co njunction with the conference. " Humanities Sessions" will be held in Buffalo's His panic, Black and P.olish communities, Oct. 18-20, from 8 to 10 p.m. These sessions are free and open to the public. Participants will explore plays by Polish, Hispanic, African and African-American women and examine how their cultural perceptions and se nsibilities inform their work. France-says the confe~Cnce was developed in respo:tse to a srowing interest in the work of women playwrishts among producers, critics, and the public and in response to requests by the playwright!; themselves. Today, in major English-speaking countries.. plays by women account for only about seven per cent of the professional theatre season. At the same time, however, nearly a third of the members of the Dramatists Guild are women. Women playwrights in the United States have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, hundreds of Obie and Dramatists Circle awards, .significant srants and other important honors, and France says that the invited playwrights from abroad have· all achieved comparable prominence in their countries. Participating playwrisbts will come from rhe U.S .. the Republic of China~ Argenti n~ New Zealand~ Sweden, Finland. M·exico, Norway, Japan, Pueno Rico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Sri Lanka, Poland, Israel, Australia, England, Nigeria, South Africa, and Jamaica. T he conference is multi-cultural, says France, "because we seek responses to basic questions from the diverse vantage points of women from various coun- ; tries, races, dasses, and cultural backgrounds. We expect the event to lead to new collaborations and theatrical experiments ... Members of the conference planning committee include: France, Kathleen Jletskn, New Yorlc City-based p.laywri'g ht and co-editor of lnttrviews wiih Con,.mporary Women Playwrights (W. Morrow and Co., 1987); Emmy and Obie Award-winning playwright Rosalind Drexler; and Endesha Mae Holland, assistant UB professor ancl author of "From the Mississippi Delta," a critically acclaimed play curre ntl y on tour throughout the U.S., which was nominated for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize by the New Federal Theater of New York City.

In addition, UB bas contributed more than $100,000 in in-kind production and planning services and salaftes for con erence staff. CD ·n dental institute funding 8 received more funding last year from the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR) than any other instituion in the nation, according to N IDR sources. The University received $5,586,228 last year from the agency for srants, awards, and research contracts. This figure represents a dramatic jump of 69.8 per cent, or $2.3 million, over monies received from NIDR in 1986. • The bulk of NIDR suppon went to faculty and staff involved in research in the School of Dental Medicine. Some . fundins was awarded to scientists and · educators elsewhere on the faculty who are conduct.ing dental-related research projects. William M. Feagans, D.D.S., Ph. D., dean of the School of Dental Medicine, said the substantial increase in fundins from NIDR is a milestone in the school's history. It is the first time UB has been first . nationally in total awards from NIDR for a one-year period, Feagans said. He - credits tbe accomplishment to team efforts of facUlty and staff and administrative support from President Steven B. S~ple and his associates. "Without this combination of support and bard work, we could not have been Number One, • Feasans emphasizes. Among areas of research on campus that benefitted from NIDR support last ear are- the microbiology and immunolIIY of oral diseases, hone metabolism nd connective tissue problems, etioloSY ~ and tre-atment of periodontal disease, salivary function and dysfunction, neuromechanics associated with dysfunction of the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, and stud ies foc using on oral health and disease in the geriatric population. ast September, NIDR funding estal>lished a nat ional Dental Research Institute in oral bioloiiY at· the School of Dental Medicine. Researchers involved in the Dental Research Institute will focus over the next five years on three areas of study: protective effectiveness of sativary molecules asainst bacterial destruction .of tissues; virulence factors of certain species of microorganisms implicated in periodontal (Bum) disease, and natural mechanisms of host response to bacteria.

L �... .../ ---t:JSRecyclers are out to ease fossil fuel po~lution • It takes 64 per cent less energy to recycle paper than t<l produce it anew from wood pulp By ELISABETH SHEFFIELD Reporter Staff ontrary to what you may have heard from Ronald Reagan, trees don' cause pollution. What does cause pollution, however, is the burning of fossil fuel to produce the energy required to manufacture paper from wood pulp. C In fact, the paper industry is the largest si ngle industrial user of fuel oil in the United S tates. UB Energy Officer Walter Simpson says recycling paper takes 64 per ce nt less fossil fuel-produced ene rgy than th e production of paper from wood pulp. For this and other reasons, Simpso n and a number of UB students are · involved in· a new campus recycling group called the UB Recyclers. The group formed early last spring, a semester after Simpson had. at the urging of the UB Greens. resurrected a previous campus recycling program. ~ recycli ng o n campus had been abandoned about two years earlier for cconomk-teasons. But the Greens' co nce rn promp ~d Simpso n " to take another look ... For vanous reasons, cam pus recycling turned out to be economically more feasible than it had been two years earlier. ( Simpson first located a CanadiaA..fulo't called Domtar Fiber Produ.cts thar)l'ilys a fai r price for each ton of paper and also picks up frequently. Then he reestablished the recycling program at U B on limited scale in the Fall of 1987. Hopi ng to expand the p;ogram with student volunteerS, Simpson co ntacted the Student Associatio n early the following spring. T he Stud ent Association advertised in the Spectrum for volunteers for'the program and soon, according to Simpson, "The phone was ringing off the hoo k. We received 30 calls in three days." a The end result was that 20 people became, in Simpson 's words, ..quite committed." The newly formed group named themselves the "UB Recyclers." With their help Simpson was able to greatly expand tbe limited new recycling operation. ' In one semester, the UB Recyclers increued the number of paper pick-up sites on both campuses from two to 14 buildings. In addition, they helped to more than double the amount of paper collected - from 10'/z tons in the Fall of '87 to 24'/z tons in the Spring of 1988. Si.nce it takes about 17 u~s.to make one ton of paper, this means 41f'troes were saved last spring, compared to 178 '/z the preceding fall. T he program s ummer by Simpson and two st udents from the UB Recyclers, Scott Sackett and Glynnis Collins. They collected roughly two tons of paper a week, or abour20 tons over the course of three months. Since less paper waste is generated in the summer than during the school year, this number reflects bolh the dedication of the UB J!.ecyclers, who continued emptying the bins over the summer and the zeal of the maintet.ance crews and office workers who cont inued to fill them. This fall, the Recyclers hope to further ex pand the program by putting bins in more campus buildings. With more pickup sites, Simpson believes his group can increase the volume of B"per collected weekly from two tons 't6' three or four tons. To expand the program, the Recyclers will continue to need the support· of the UB community. Office workers, maintenance people, professors, and studenis can make the Recyclers' task easier by putting their different kinds of scrap paper in bags according to type before dropping the paper in the collection bins. The paper from the bins is normally sorted by the Recylers into seven different categories: regular computer printout, groundwood computer printout, newsprint , magazines, white ledger, colored ledger, and h«hh-white ledger (blank sheets of good qual ity white paper). Sorting allows the compani~ that buy the paper to manufacture more and better kinds of paper. · Randolph Marks named andolpb A. Marla, chairman of tbe board of American Brass Co., bas been named ~Niapra Frontier Executive of the Year" by the School · of Management. · The award will be pi'CICIIteil Wednesday, Sept. 28, at tbe 39ib annual School of Management Awards Banquet at the Hyatt Regency-Buffalo. The banquet begins at 6 p.m. Established in 1949, tbe award recos-llzes a resident of the Niapra Frontier ~ career bas been marked by "exec- R "The group wants 'to increase the amount of paper it collects, but would prefer to see less wasted in the first place. . . . " However, sort ing is also timeconsum ing and seems to be growing more so. As well-meaning people save more and more of their paper for recycling. the mixture of paper in the bins is becoming increasingly heterogeneous, while the task of sorting grows proportionately more difficult. Another way the U B community can help the Recyclers is by not not throwing garbage and other unacceptable material into the collection bins. In addition to food , food wrappers, styrofoam, and other plastics, the Recycleti have been ftnd.ing envelopes and paper with tape or non-water-wluble glue address labels, phone book•, catalogs, and other bound materials. The group hopes to eventually acquire a binding cutter. Until then, materials with . glue bindings remain unacceptable. B ut while the Recyclers hope to double the amount of paper collected each week, they would prefer to see ~WNY utivc success, a proven willingness to assume a leadership role in civic activities and demonstration of high personal integrity. ~ Tbe winner is chosen through balloting by officen and directors of the school's Alumni .\Mo<:iation, past winnen, the president of the University at Buffalo Foundauon, Inc., the UB president, and tbe dean of the School of Management. Put recipients include Robert E. Rich Sr., Henry Coords, Franz Stone, Paul L Snyder, Ross B. JC.enzie, Paul A. Wdlax, Robert E. Rich Jr., and Jeremy M. Jac- · less paper wasted in the first place. Group members Glynnis Collins and Paul Cocca describe recent finds in the bins. They included, says Collins, "tbousancb of unused student health insurance envelopes~ and "four or five boxes of extra promotion pamphlets for a speakers series ... " And it's very common," Coccli adds, holding thumb and index finger about an inch and a half apart, "to sec a computer printout this thick that looks like it wasn l even touched." Collins concludes: " We'd rather the~ it again op the otber sfde instead of giving it to us as scrap." This kind of needless waste of solid materials may be what disturbs the Recyclers more than anything else. The energy sq uandered and tbe air polluted by manufacturing more paper than society needs are not as visible as a twoinch-thick computer printout or d iscarded newspapers blowini across Founders Plaza. As Recycler Scott Sackett puts it: "For me, garbage is tangible - you can' see the effecu of energy wastefulness. I'd see garbage - glass, cans, paper - and wonder where does this all so? That's what really got me.~ . Those with questions about recycling or becoming a member of the UB Recyclers may call Simpson at 636-3636.

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

In this respect, the Genualion is rather typical. O'Sullivan said he has been out, look· ing for new people interested in writing for the magazine'. "We aggressively recruited at orientation.

One or the methods or recruiting that the Gen<rarion hll.$ used is ads in the magazine. O'Sullivan said those are effective but that sometimes it takes more. "The ads never really had an impact on me even though I saw them all the time. It took an editorial at the end oft he year to make me say 'hey. I could be writing this!

Two, because SA took office, there wasn\ enough money allocated in the SA budget for a contract that Md already been negotiated with the SpeC(;um, and none whatso.ever for any advertising in the Gtnl!ration.

Niagara By ERIC SANDS News Bureau Stat1 rchaeology at Old Fort Niagara recently went undc:rw~ter. The Old Fort Niagara Archaeology in Progress Project. which began land excavations nine years ago through the collaboration of .the Old Fort Niagara Association, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation. and Historic Preservation and UB's Anth ropology Department, has extended its digs inlo the w8tcr. Stuart D . Scott, Ph.D .. director of archaeology at the fort and associate professor of anthropology here. notes, .. This is a first attempt to extend land archaeology into the water in a systematic way. We are not going out there with divers and sporadically Starching the water. We are exerting some kind of control in the process ... The first couple of days of the ten-day underwater surveying expedition, which began August 26. was spent .. staking out .. a 100-foot grid square with cable. 1 he strong current and heavy grass in the wate r caused some problems in laying down the cable. The fenced-in area was systematically surveyed in 4-foot by 4-fool units with every box of the 100-foot grid drawn on a main archaeology map. According to Scott. "The underwater surveying was conducted as though the excavation were being done on land - with the same precision. caution. and exactness ... Because of the human tendency to throw things in the water. the underwater archaeology te am . headed by Wit- A liam Utley, had a lot of work to do. The team had to clear the area of modern junk before they could begin to comb for artifacts beneath the river muck with a gasoline powered suction sand lift. The fort. originally established as a French trading post in 1726, was taken by the British after the French and Indian War in 1758. The United .States, after the Revolution. took control of the fon from Britain. During the War of 1812, the Britis h maintained brief control of the fortificatipp , only to have it fall back into American hands. The United States used the fort as both a military and training estAblishment until finally relinquishing it as a historical site. Building 42, a deteriorated building by the mid-1980s. was. through the leader· Archaeologist Pat Scott a nd assistant plot excavat1on are a at historic fort D1vers are 1n the background. leadership of Brian Dunnigan. executive director of Old Fort Niagara. an!l Scott. restored and renovated to become the . main information and storage base for all the an:baeological projects at the fort . The Archaeology and Collections Care Center, the official name of the renovated building, presently s t and~ as one of the must spacious and best furnished research facilites in the state for historical archaeologieal research. The underwater ponion being surveyed was once used as a wharf and dock area by both the French and British from 1726 until around 1825 . .. However." states Scott , "we did not know that submergence would be present in the lake. even though we expected to find something." The <livers assisting Utley in the underwater excavation included John Chamberlain of England. who has a license to work on the 7().gun warship "Sterling Castle." wrecked on Goodwin Sands near the channel port of Dover in 1703: Kurt Knocrl of Cheektowaga and Roddrick Mather of Leeds. England, both working on masler's degrees in underwater archaeology at -Eastern Carolina University in Greensboro, N.C.: Joseph Green. assistant head of maintenance at the fort ; Paul Buerger; and Edward and Mary Tomes. members of the fort's summer archaeology crew. 4) Theatre season opens with music play by Tom Stoppard '' E very Good Boy Deserves Favour." a musical play by Britain's Tom Stoppard will open the Thea· tre and Dance· Department season Sept. 16. • It will continue through Sept. 18 in the Pfeifer Theatre. 681 Main Street.

Vol. 20 No.2 - Dean's Corner FNSM Whet her the research is cente red on science. teaching methods or so m~ related activity, the resources provided by the University and the State are not sufficient to suppon most of our re· search programs. The same is true for other universities in this country. The University provides a healthy. vigorous enviro nment cond ucive to inn ovative thinking and the advancement of new ideas, and it can provide seed money to help a new project blossom. However. the bulk of the resources for a firstclass research effon must come from outside sources. Th is is especially true. for programs requiring the purchase of equipment and supplies and / or the payment of salaries or stipends, which is usually the case in the physical sciences.

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

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

Tl!iJ is · a very important function for two rea· sons: (I) cholesterol is necessary as a building .block for the lipids of the hepatocyte membrane, and (2) if cholesterol is not removed from the blood, it builds up and can cause atherosclerosis. The region or domain of the plasma mtmbrane involved in the transport of bile salts contains proteins that can carry these "cellular detergents" across the plasma membrane and out of the hepatocyte. These proteins are impor· tant because, if the bile salts are not bound to the plasma membrane protein, they can destroy the plasma mem· brane of the cell and the bile duets that carry the bile salts from tho. liver. In .fact, the primary cause of liver diseases tn children, such as primary biliary atresia and cirrhosis, is damage to the membrane domain of the liver involved in transpOrt of bile salts. The only treatment for this disease at present is liver transplantation. The research being done in the laboratory of Profeuor Doyle is con· corned with the identification, purilica· tion, and chl.riiCitrization of the proteins present in the different regions or domaiou of the plasma membrane of the liver hepatocyte.

For both rodents and humans he is studying the structure and regulation of the genes that eiiCOde these proteiou, and is also studyina the structure and · ita relatioouhip to tile funetion of these proteins in the liver· cell. Further, Profesaor Doy" is euminina the structure of both the domaln .. peciflc proteiou and the genes for these proteins in dileucs of the liver (particularly liver cancer and primary biliary atresia and cirrhosil) in the hope that he can pin· polnl the primary cause of each disease at the aenetlc/ biochemicalf molecular level.

"ancient" ice masses store a wealth of paleoenvironmental information on the history of the Earth. They provide an exciting and fascinating source of study for a variety of imponant scientific qui'Stions. Although of entirely d ifferent origins, at least three natural materials at or near the Earth's surface reveal much information about past climate, Earth h.istory, and the environment. They are tree-lings, sea-sediments, and glacier deposits. The glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica are a particularly important research subject in th< Department of Geology located at the Ridge Lea Campus.

To ao about estimating the expected lifetime of an indilliduai afflicted with a terminal disease, for example. one would generally turn to one of two schools of llatisties: classical (i.e., frequentist) or Baye~ian. A clu ical statillician regard ' the expected lifetime u a lixed yet unknown quantity which can be estimated by, say, the averaae lifetime of such individuals. In contrut. a Bayesian opl:raiCI under the uaumplion that the expected lifetime is a random quantit y having its own probability d istribution . The as umption of a seemlnaJy lixed yet unknown value as beina random is not unusual. This i con i ll:nl with a view of the universe In which reality is not lixed, yet is inherently probabilistic. This probability distribution •wnmarizes a Bayesian 'a prior knowledp of the unknown value before co~ data and is called, appropriately, a prior diltribution. Such prior knowledae is abundant. For e.umple, It is "obviotU" that the expected lifetime of the infected Individual is much leu than tha~ of a healthy individual.

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

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

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

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

The compound has shown activity in laboratory test s in vo lving solid tum ors. including colon cancer. breas t cancer. a nd melanoma. the most se rious form of s kin cancer . The s tudies have mvolved mouse tumors and human tumors implanted in mice .

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

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

I have held these fantasies, along with a rag~tag set of other associations elustered around things Oriental, since the 1940s: my mother crying during the radio announcement of Pearl Harbor; my mother playing Mah Jong "with the girls:" having Sunday dinner at the House Of Chan on Broadway with more consistency and, perhaps. pleasure than any other event in my childhood; watchmg Charlie Chan movies. wondering if the:: restaurant was named after the sage detective. and being called "No. 2 son" by my fathe< with a mixture of pride and resentment. I treasured being called "Wings." the only true nickname I ever had, by my uncle Jack Arnold. in honor of alf those pilots, those "airmen" I idolized "A traveler is an old, if not closed, book who would like to bring out a new edition of himself. .. He learns through difference and contrast."

I still see those flames with an admixture of awe and apprehension. These young men, hardly neatness. For these reasons, I gravitated towards the Chinese sections of Kuala Lumpur when I fir.;t arrived and felt relattvely safe eating Chinese food. I spent a good part of IQY first week in this part of the world trying to find the nearest Chinese merchants; and I was determined to have a small Buddha Jilte one my mother had always prized during my childhoOd. It's not bard ftoding a Chinese merchant in this country which is 40 per cent Chinese; and Buddhas are for sale everywhere. But I couldn't hide out in the Chinese world within Malaysia forever. One evening, an Indian gentleman, "Winny." whom I had met dll{ing a stroll one of my first evenings to my K.L. suburb (Petaling Jaya, P.J., "Happy Wood"). stopped by for a chat. He had something on his mind, and be felt he could talk with me freely. "These are dark days for my country." he said.

The State has rented time on a commercial satellite, and programs are broadcast to it from the uplinks. Each campus can tunc in to the satellite to receive transmissions.

Signals from the downlink dish will travel rrom the rooftop of C lemens to sc reens or video monitors in the viewing room. For tel eco nferences. the sys tem must bt interactive, so the room will also be eq uipped with telecommunicati o ns eq uipment, Lcsntak said . According to Cic hock i.

Cichock1 said. That kind of expansion seems a likely possibility. The medical, law, and management schools have expressed interest in w;ing the system for both receiving and transmitting programs. With that in mind, SUNYSAT may eventually tic in with the overall upgrade or UB's telecommunications system, said Frederick Wood, manager of u s·s telecommunications office. The proposed new system will include a video distribution backbone (a series of interconnected telephone and video cables) that could deliver satellite transmissions University-wide. 0 �August 4, 1988 Summer No. 3 New UB program to coordinate care for people with MS By ARTHUR PAGE T he Western New York C hapter of the Na tional Multiple Sclerosi s Society and two major Buffa lo hos pitals have launched a new U B program to coordinate and improve care of peop le with multiple scle r osi s 1n Wes tern New Yo rk .

Specialized com puter programs S •Soollll.-12 �International Hu1 H I \,_) " ~· -. ~ ~ \._<4,_ Ethics and religion, science and psuedoscience, global war and global peace. Humanists from around the world gathered to discuss and debate these and other issues at the UB-hosted Tenth Humanist World Congress, July 31-Aug. 4. Even Billy _Graham, crusading at ~alo's Pilot Field this week, couldn't quite steal the spotlight. Not with an all-star humanist guest list including feminist Betty Friedan, humorist Steve Allen, Canadian physician Henry Morgentaler, Nobel Laureate Herbert Hauptman , and prominent AIDS researcher Mathilde Krim. Not to mention the many other humanist scientists, philosophers, and delegates frorn the U . S., Soviet Union, Canada India and ot~er na~ions , plus an estimated I ,000 participants. Buildmg A World Community: Humanism in the . 21st Century" was the focus of the congress: sponsored by the International Humanist and Ethical Union ~IHEU). UB philosophy professor Paul Kurtz, co-president of IHEU and an internationally known humanist scholar, was an organizer of the event. The five-day congress, held at U B, the Buffalo Marriott Hotel, and the Sheraton Brock Hotel, included panel discussions, debates, workshops, and vignettes of famous humanists. In addition, the IHEU inducted candidates into the Humanist Hall of Fame and presented its 1988 International Humanist Prize to Andrei Sakharov (in absentia). Inside the Sheraton Brock Hotel Monday, Canadian physician Henry Morgentaler received the Distinguished Humanist Award for 1988 from his colleagues in the IHEU. Outside, protestors chanted "Stop the Killing" and carried aign5 that read "God Docs Not Make Rubbish, Give Life a Chance" and "Humanists Rewatd Baby Killers." The humanists honored Morgentaler for his 20-ycar battle for abonion rights for Canadian women, said IHEU Co-president Paul Kw1L. Morgentaler sees himself as a libctator of women, not as a baby k.iUer. Canadian humanist groups took a stand in 1967 in favor of women's access to safe medical abonions. Morgentaler found that women sought him out for abonions because of his involvement in humanist organizations. To protect women from "back-aUey, dangerous operations." Morgentaler provided the s<:rvioe. That led to training other physicians in safe abonion techmques and opening several clinics. He has been tried and acquitted four times for providing abonion servioes illegaUy, and be spent 10 months in jail when a higher coun ovenumed one of those acquittals. orgentaler achieved victory whenM the Canadian Supreme Coun struck down Canada's abortion law on ~an. 28 of th~ rear. The law required a woman to pelluon a three--member hospital board to end a pregnancy that threatened her physical or mental health. Other abonions were forbidden . The coun found the law to be a constitutional infringement, because it imposed arbitrary delar.s and inequalities on the availability of abonions, Morgentaler said. Although Canadian lawmakers are trying to draft a new law, there is no abonion law now. That's as it should be, Morgentalcr said. "Abonion should be a personal choioe between a woman and her doctor, baaed on personal conscience," be said. But still, many Canadian women don l have oa:css to safe, Betty Friedan Contributing to this article were Clare ·O'Shea. Jifl],.'

Canadian physician and abortion rights advocate Henry Morgentaler addresses fellow humanists. clinical abonions, he said. Some physicians are not aware of new, safe abonion techniques and oppose the creation of clinics, Morgentalcr said . The Canadian Supreme Coun decision is part of a "growing movement toward women "s emancipation," Morgentalcr stated . "Women's human poletltial is rmall y being rec:opiu:d and accepted as valuable. That equality is not possible witbout freedom from reproductive bood~ . · Anll-abonionists, he said, are traditionaUy opposed to women's righu. It comes as no surprise, he said. that they should oppose reproductive freedom. 1bcse groups, generally Protestant fuodamcotalists and members of the Roman Catholic C.nurch, are bouod by doJ'Da instead of rational thought, he wd . "We (bu11140ists) base our ethics on morality and on real scientific knowledge accumulated over three centuries. For some reason, they (antiaboJtionists) believe that from the moment of conception a fetus is human. That's completely absurd and unscientific ... The ""lunatic fringe" of these groups make up picket lines and protests, Morgentalcr said. hat's not so, according to Cindi T LoFoni, a Niagara Falls, Ontario, resident who was among the picketers outside the hotel. She belongs to the group "Campaign Life." ·we don' sec it as a religious issue ... LoForti said. "It's a human rights issue." The human rights in question are those of the child, she said. She sees a need for an abortion law in Canada. "Some-t• mo'ra,ls are going to be leBJ;S"'!_cd· If It~ DOl mine, it'll be theirs.

"Globalism requires us 1o imagine such a world ." Speaking at Sunday's plenary .cssio n. Schulz said "humanism has been more prone to science and its ,earch for truth" tban to retigion. But he also remarked on tbe close ties be t ween his ch urch and the humanist dilf~eulties <novcment. .. F. very time I have something to do \4tth the humanists, I get into trouble," JO l <d fe minist leader Betty Friedan at founder of tbe birth control movement in the United States, and Charles Darwin. Sanger had a "freethinking father," noted Bette Chambers, assistant to the prt5ident of the American Humanist Association. Sanger was a rebel even among fellow reformers. "Feminists encou~i her to change the laws prohibittng tbe dispensing of birth control information through the slow legislative process, but she would have nothing of it." Instead, Sanger put out magazines and pamphlets, confronting the issue head on. She also chose to work for the underprivileged. "Trained as a nurse, Margaret decided to nurse only for the poor in New York City's Lower ~tSide." <::::::' 08 biology professor Clyae Herreid became Charles Darwin in a one-man show that delighted the audience of human ists. "You of the 20th century can appreciate the impact that science has wrought on society. Each idea becomes a foundation for another," said this Darwin come alive. the Sunday session. She said her <u~oc iatio n with the humanists was U><d against her when she campaigned to r femi nist rights during the 1950s. During that era, she said, mothers used the fact that she bad signed the '' Humanist Manifesto" to discredit her m the eyes of their daughters. Friedan co mplained that people are "C? lo~ger willing to identify themselves wtrh liberal and feminist groups . .. 1 am uring his legendary trip on the H.M.S. Beagle, " Darwin" went on, .. Captain Fiuroy tried to convince me here tonight to say that yea, f am a that my fossil bones were those of humanist, yes I am a feminist, yes I am a liberal. animals who bad not made it onto "I do not conform to the idea tbat all of the values for which we stand have beco me dirty words," added the autbor <>f The F~minine My3t~. "Labor and unions should DOl be dirty words. Poverty and homelessness: tbose should h< dirty words." According to Friedan, feminism and humanism are intertwined. Fem.inism os simply part of the ongoing humanist revolution." 06 unday's events also included a slide S show on the history of humaniststyle thinl<ing throughout the ages. Described were early Greek phtlosophers, Renaissance thinkers, the Deists, and modem humanists. A Humanist Hall pf Fame ceremony prud special tribute to two leading humanists, Marpret Sanger, tbe D Noah's Ark. But I became more convinoed that plants and animals had evolved - but how was the question. I became convinoed tbat nature might choose: certain animals for breeding. just like livestock breeders." According to Darwin/ Herreid, "my wife asked, 'isn l this anti-Christian?' I answered, 'no, just anti-<logma. • " The father of evolutionary theory congratulated tbe audience on society's scientific progrt55. "We have reached a stage in our own development that we can actually st udy our own evolution. " Following Darwin's appearance, UB Professor of Biophysical Sciences Herbert Hauptman and Betty Friedan were honored for lifetime achievement and inducted into the Humanist Hall of Fame. God, religion. aod tbe Bible need not be rejected, according to humanists. But tbey must be redefined for tbe 21st century. "Religions of the Future" was the topic of a Monday session of tbe World Congrt5s. "Humanists should have no quarrel with religion, only with stifling belief structures," said Frank Miosi, professor of Egyptology at the University of Toronto and supervisor of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities . "We must stop attacking religions and start attacking intolerant, outdated belief systems." Miosi pointed to traditional monotheiStic belief in an all-good, allpowerful, omnipn:sent, and omniscient God who nonetheless does not pn:vent tragedies such as Hiroshima. If a human being had it in his powe r to stop famine or pain or natural d isasters and didnl, Miosi said, he would immediately be rejected by society. "Yet we have a God just like that one who does not measure up to our moral standards," Miosi said . "Monotheism d oes not need a de vil when it has such a God." · the future, according to Miosi, man will reject any system I ..nreligious man to a n wherein God holds ethica l standard which that very God is not also bound to follow. "Belief structures are the tools of expressions and of understand ing for religious faith, and, as tools, they can be discarded wben outdated or worn. without danscr to tbe 'faith.' " Miosi predicts betievers will become more tolerant of otbers' retigions and wm· also accept greater responsibilit y for tbe state of the world. "Humanistic value systems will become the norm for the well-lived religious life, and secular human ists will Scholars and believers alike must change their methods of approach to the Bible and other religious documents, several speakers argued. "The Bible is a collection of religious literature that is very much tbe product of real people," said Gerald Larue, chairman of tbe Center for Scientific Examination of Religion. "It is an outdated book - it does not conform to notions of freedom or justice. "It is a literary product that contains materials borrowed from otlier cultures," he added. The story of the flood, the lint book of Genesis, ahd Psalm 104, for example, all borrow materials from other culturt!. · "Humanists must claim the Bible as their book because it is a human document. The Bible is human because it reflects the work of human hands and minds. It is humanist when its writers rise above narrow parochialism and nationalism and focus on human rights and decency." T he Bible is a literary text that can be read with the same skills applied to any other literary text, said Randel Helms, professor of English at Arizon a State University. Helms focused on the Gospels, which he said the majority of serious Biblical scholars regard as mythical and legendary - at least to some extent. "Once the role of the Gospel critic ceased having to be that of protector and enforcer of tbe creed . once the Gospels could be recognized for wh at the y are. fictional narratives about Jesus, they could be seen as the legitimate objects or the interest or secular and humanistic students of literature ... J ohn Priest , profcs.so r of religion ar Florida State Universi ty, agreed that schola rs will increasingly employ new literary methods in interpreting the Bible." But what I think will be most important is the application or social scientific methods on Biblical and other documents," Priest said . "More attention will be paid to the total society,"' in recreating a social hi~ t ory of the Biblical community. In order to accept or rejcc1 someone's religious beliefs, we must first understand his world view. according to William Jones, director or the black studies program at Florida State University. ..Underneath every religious practice, there is a world view," Jones said . ... We need to re-focus our attention to world view, and sec if we can resolve the di/Terenccs (at that level)." Then, he added, the most effective method or criticism is internal. .., have to use your norms, your values, if I want to prove my point." Suppose one betieves homosexuality is wrong and homosexuals should not hold public office, Jones offered by way of example. Suppose, too, that one considers the Bible infaltible . .. On the same basis, we should raise questions about whetber RonaJd Reagan should be president. Jesus said nothing about homosexuality but he is very specific about divorce.

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

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

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

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

For instance, there are many faculty who return papers by dumping them outside their office. But if they just spent a moment, and thought about how many people would fmd that offensive, I don l think they would do it that way."

On the other band, if you take the right steps, these won l seem to be complexities at all, but logical steps leading toward underslallding." surprisingly, Hem:id is "totally N otopposed to" the teacbinl! philosophy that says "winging it" ohy. IS "You can l just take your lecture notes that you've written a year ago and walk in and expect to give that lecture weU. "Spontaneity is not something that you rule out by being prep~. You can cenainly be spontaneous if a new idea occurs to you in class. But, in general, I think it's absolute lazioeas or something bas captured that teacb~r's time." Then there's the Hem:id commaodment about avoiding the somnolent. "Student& wi)l for&ive you for almost everything, except being borin&-" He adch: "You must convey enthusiaSm. You eaol be bored with your ·aubject matter or it comes through immediately. The student will dislike not only the material, but dislik:e you for it. Even thou&h such eothuaium may not oec:euarily mak:e you a great tcacb~r, at leut you will not have turned students off on the subject. They wiU enjoy the experience." . · ~ has a ready bag of H em:id techniques to keep things snappy. These include usi ng personal experience whenever appropriate. MStudents don't want to see you as some kind of a utomaton. They want to see you as a human being. ' They want to see if you have kids or not." Such an approach, says Hem:id , must exclude the selfindulgent or using the classroom as therapy. ... Also, you have to avoid reading written material . You are often cboos~ ing formal language when we donl speak that way. Some people actually read their notes, and it sounds like they're reading their notes. And that is dreadful. I work very hard to, make my lectures sound hke onc-ta-:bne conversation. " In general, Hem:id likes to bring some theatre. into the classroom. "The larger the group, the more theatre that is possible," he states. " When you're a tiny little figure before hundreds of people, you have to make your movements broider." Another Hem:id commandment is "thou shall not pace." He comments: " You should move with plllpOie &DC! grace. Basically, it's about body language - what places in the room one should move to, what ~lures one ought to consider." Herretd's own lifelong involvement with sleight of h&DCI has helped him learn "how to control an audience." Hem:id offers another dictum: "Thou shall use example, demonstration, &DC! analogy." He ex.plains: "You should use tb~ . after you 'lie given the general pnnctple. Sometimes you need all three to make a point. "The principle is often framed in general, vague terminology. Often the most bu.am: example - the ooe that grabs you - is the best. Something that makes your stomach reteb or you think: IS absurd. Thoac are the thtngs you ~member . " H em:id's Hochstetler Hall office conlalns the models and other props he uses '" class. These include a colorful model of the ON A molecule ' human and dog skulls, and corals. ~A prop gtves you something. interest_lng to do with your body. li' may nail the pnnctple down in the student's mmd. And it's more interesting and excnmg." Another Herreid commandmen t 1). "thou shall be creative and wilhng to try out new ideas. Even if the y don't work out, students will forgive you lor a great deal if you're willing tu b< creative." Hem:id, academic director of the Honors Program, says be is "thn lledby the success of former studen ts hle Daphne Ayn Bascom, who wil~ sh on l~ begin graduate work in physiol og~ " Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. Another former student, Rand • Weiost~in, will shonly enter the Ph ll program in environmental pb y s10 l og~ at Berkeley. Hem:id also helped other honors students successfully appl y ior National Science Foundation fel lo•· ships in engineering and science. But Herreid is mindful cif the m•n' studen~ are not · science m aJor~ "You have an obligation to make them understand scie nce in the broadl''l sense, so they will be willing to "'d articles about science, listen to SCi COI 11tr arguments in political debates. etc.Hem:id also works bard at teachm g his principles to a coterie of assistan l!

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

Hina Jilani. women . arnett Rubin o f Yale Universi ty defined human rights as claims that individuals make against the state . This definition. said Rubin . sets up two categories for discussion: the individual and the state. The definition poses a problem, as the question of group rights is excluded from discussion . The problem. he continued . is that individuals are. by and large. subsu med in to larger ethnic and cultural groups. Ethnic boundaries do not necessarily match up with stat e or nationa l bou nd aries. This forces a number of different ethn ic groups to exist under one government, something ma ny are not willing to do . Rubin said . D.J . Ravindran of the Internatio nal Comm ission of Jurists explained the historical roo ts of the problem in South and Southeast Asia. When Britam de· co lo ni alized A~ ia. se parate government s and nations were fonncd .

As such. the agencies d o not intervene to stop the violatio ns. Ravindran said . B Panelists pointed to violent clashes in Sri Lanka, India.

Paktstani cou rts have validated various regimes under a doctrine of necessity, legitimizing limita ti ons of human rights and the power of the courts as well as weakening the rule of law in Pakistan.

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

I think it is one of the best faculties we have had - they come from so many different backgrounds and bring a world of experience. The o ther two counselors-are themselves alumni of the Summer Program and of o ur own department. Matt Dimakos came to the high school program seve n years ago and is a former varsi ty base ball player here - he coordinates all s umm er a thletic activi ties. The women 's counselor, Donna Simpso n. did the best wo r k in video when s he came here fro m high school. She has since been a student in o ur department and is no w at Sy racuse University. JM: What about the students? GOG: T he studen ts a lso look to be as talent ed as any we've had . a nd you will remember so me of the very best ones from earlier years. About 500 showed work in the 12 regio nal co mpetitions across the State. and the final 60 are the very best of that group . We had very few women students in the earlier year.;. but now they are a bout 35 per ce nt , which is a little better than the. average in college and un iversity med ia programs; that will co ntinue to mcrease. The women generally come in photography and video and now in d igital arts. I visited about 30 high school s in Central New York, Long Island , and New York City a year ago. and there j$ now a room of computers in almos l every school . shared by Marhematics.

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

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

Survival depends on building a subscri ption base. which the Daybreak Slaff is doing by mailing each new . issue to nearly 100,000 people from various lists. 0 f the hundreds of magazines that are launched every year, only a dozen or so survive. That's a scary prospect, said Mohawk. Daybr~alc is likely to survive because it's unique. It identifies an audience to which no one else is specifically speaking, he said. Because the magazine is published quarterly, though, the numbec of topics it can address is limited . The next step is to increase the frequency of publication. The staff hopes eventually to see Daybreak as a monthly. John Mohawk Daybr.ak is printed in C harlottesville, Virginia, where there is design space and a press. The prodoction staff, based mainly al UB, is linked to Virginia by a computer network. Along with Lyons and Mohawk, art director Richard Hill is a lecturer in Nativ< American Studies. Senior wrin:r Jost Barreiro is a graduate st udent in the department. "We've asked the University to be more subSiantially involved, and it would like lo be," said Mohawk. "Aru and Letters has been supportive of our fund·raising efforts. But the special type of production space thai a magazine needs isn' available here. "Magazine editors aod publishers an: generally idealistic people," be said. "We fall into that category. We're trying to present authentic Indian thought to the general public without exploiting or offending Indians, to present straight Indian cullure with dignity.

The program, which has been in exis tence for nearly three years, is geared tO)IIard small companies that do not have in-bouse libraries or access to in ter-library networks such as the Western New York Library Resource Co uncil or the Library Access Program, KCOn' . , - to Stephen Roberts , ass ociate di. ector of University Libraries. Tbe idea is to foster better relations between the University and community, Roberts says. Corporate borrowers have access to anything that circulates in moSI libraries on campus, although the Undergraduate Library is exempt from the program, be says. Most participants usc the Lockwood, Science and Engineering, Health Sciences, and Law libraries to obtain research materials that arc not available through othe r local sources, he says. Approximately 600 people at 75 companies have eards thai allow them to come to campus and borrow up to I 0 items a month. There is no charge for these "in-person" borrowing privileges, in keeping with the "open-<loor stance of the (University) administra- tion," Roberts says. The borrowers are mostly from s mall scie nce- based companies . although .. quite a few" law firms also panicipate. he notes. Although large companies are not restricted from participating in the program, it is set up specifically for small companies that do not have their own libraries, be stressed. Victor Alter. a senior engineer at Comptek Research, Inc., says the Corporate Borrowers Program is a valuable service to his company. "The U B library is one of the largest in the area; with technical books there is no comparison," Alter says. "The program is extremely helpful to anybody who needs access to technical books." In addition to Comptek, some frequent users of the program are Andco Environmental Processes, Inc.; Frontier Technical Associates, Inc. ; and the law offices of Eugene C. Tenney. The University i.s considering expanding the program to provide delivery of information through facsimile machines. photocopies. and electronic ma.il , Roberts indicates. Any such system would be fee-based, with the money earned being used to.pay for the system and to provide extra jobs for students, he says. D �July 7, 1988 Summer No. 2 " .

As an aside, Ellis reports that "90 per cent of the early conventions aJmost up to the Civil War were held in Baltimore." In 1836, the Democrats held another convention and nominated Ma.nin Van ..Buren, a co nsummate poHtician who was known as .. the little magician ...

When you go to a national convention today, what shows up is an incredible variety of people.

Yeracari s with an embar- rassed laugh, after doing just that for more than an hour. Now 70 and retiring from the Sociology Department after nearly 40 years, Yeracaris has plenty to talk about. U:aning forward in his chair, he lowers his voice to recreate a conversation be bad last year. Moments later, his eyes burn with the memory of His role in the an event now half a century his hands as active as his WWII Greek old, words in its retelling. From unde~rouncl childhood to imprisonment, landed hi111 in violinist to sociologist, stu- a concentration dent riots to union organization to the last book be read CGIIIp. • • • - Yeracaris has about Cowlifetimes of stories to tell. ~ Born on the Isle of Crete, Yeracaris was attending . the law school at the University of Athlens when World War II broke out. His activities as a leader of the underground movement landed him in prison. where for two · months he was tortured and held in complete isolation. H e was th en moved to a concen- tr atio n camp ou tside Athens. Somehow Yeracaris managed to get permission to bring in a vio lin. Since laking up the instrument at age 12, he had been regarded as a prodigy, he said : by his mid-teens. he was performing with the Natio nal Orchestra in Athe ns. Playing the violin fo r his fellow political prisoners provided some relief from the co ncentrati on cam p routin e. "One evening I was playing the 'Ave Maria' by Schu bert ," Yeracaris reme m- bers . .. All of a sudden the door opens and the lieutenant in charge of the ca mp co mes in and orders every body o ut. " 'You stay here , · he said to me . And he locks the door. ' Yo u play tha t for me again .· "So I played . All of a sudde n this man, an o ld er man in his 40s. starts crying like a baby . .. 'Thank you very much,' he said. 'You've brought memories of my childhood and my upbringing in Austria. I have. not been 10 my hometown sinct before the war.' " The next morning the lieutenant told Yeracaris he would . be released on a certain day. Prisoners were often told that, then taken somewhere and shot, Yeracaris said , but the lieutenant assured him he need not worry. And when that day arrived, be was n:leased. usomeone somewhere had done something with my papers," Yeracaris said. MThat's all I ever knew." fter receiving a bachelor's degree and practicing law for two years, Yeracaris moved to the U.S. to study criminal law at the University of Chicago. Required to take courses in sociology, be became so involved with the new field that he abandoned criminology. He earned both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology from the University of Chicago. Then: he also met his wife, a doctoral student in psychology. Once again, the violin figured in his fate . In a job interview at UB in 1949 he discovered that Nathaniel Cantor: then-<:haJrman of the Department of Anthropology and Sociology. was also A a violinist. It was one o f the things that made him attractive to Cant o r. Yeracaris said. He was hired and invi (ed to join Cantor's quartet. He also became involved with the Amhe rs t Symphony Orchestr~ as a first violin and as a concertmaster. In the next couple of decades. Yeracaris witnessed th e transiti on of the University from a private to a public insti tut ion, bringi ng on its hee ls what he considers one of the most exciting periods for the Sociology Department (which had split from Anthropology in the mid -"50s). From a 10- member faculty in 1960, the department gn:w lo 36. Graduate enrollment and n:search fun_ds skyrocketed . He re members, too. the student riots of the late '60s, when he and other members of the faculty and staff formed a .. buffer .. organization to ease tension on campus. They could be found . white arm bands in place, breaking up fights involving students and Buffalo police. Once, Yeracaris grabbed a student about to throw a rock at a policeman. M ' For God's sake, what He was a are you doing?,' I said. .. 'I am a revolutionary!,' he facuhy buHer, said. 'A Marxist revolutionary.' easing tensions " ' Do you know what Ul you 'n: talking about?

'My father is a member of the Communist party.' " The denial of disciplineq thinking and disciplined action waa a common fault of many student organizations of the time, Yeracaris pointed out.

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

"Comparing application activity in these categories in 1988 to last year, applications have increased 8.9 per cent , acceptances are up 65.5 per cent. and enrollments are expected to increase I00 per cent." Durkin said the increases would not have been possible without the recent action taken by UB's enrollment management committee. Its members are Assistant Provost Myron Thompson, Vice Provost John Thorpe, and Vice Provost Robert L. Palmer. u By JOE MARREN B is becoming the first choice for many minority students looking for a college. "I've heard it said that we've now become a. mecca for minority students because of the support systems that we have here," said Robert L. Palmer, Ph.D., vice provost for student affairs. Palmer said there is a 100 per cent increase in freshman minority student enrollment without benefit of special programs; a stable percentage· rate of minority undergraduate enrollment despite declining overall enrollment; and an increase in special programs graduates. There have also been increases in m·inority graduate enrollment and a doubling of minority students earning bachelor's degrees in the last decade. oSee-..ylfooh,page2 ' .-; ·•. ~ �June 9, 19aa Summer No. 1 FIRST CHOICE The figures. from the Office of Institutional Srudies. show a trend among local and regio nal minority students. That trend is si mply to make UB th e first choice when picking a coll ege, so mething that was n't true even less than a decade ago. ''Our sense was U 8 was an afterthought ," said Provost William R. G reiner . ..The SUNY sys tem has a pr o blem attractin~ minorit y stud ents. But one of the thmgs we: felt was that th is institution hadn't seemed as attractive to ce nain minorit y student s." So o ne of the remedies was to aggressively recruit those who. in the past, went elsewhere . The last seven ye ars it seems to have worked . For instance, preliminary figures from the Ofricc of Institutional Stu dies s how total undergraduate enrollment has been declining the last seven years. from 19 .304 in 1981-82 to 18.7 14 in '87-88 . "Yet minority undergraduate en rollment during the sa me period remained constant at slightl y mo re than seven per cent , up from 1.396 in '8 1-8 2 to 1,440 in '84-85 and bac k to 1.396 in '87-88. Ho wever. the real goal is not so much to ge t into college but to graduate. U 8 gra nted 77 bachelor's degrees. or 2.9 per ce nt of the 2,677 granted, to min o rity students in 78-79. In '86-87 th e number just about doubled to ) 40 degrees granted. o r 4.8 per ce nt of 2.868 . Bo th minorit y and total graduate en ro llme nt has also been increasing during the sa me period . Min ori ty stu- dents now represent more than five per ce nt of graduate en rollmen t. or 497 studentS of 8.763 . recruitin ~ 8 has been aggressivel y black and other mino rit y stud ent s U for a while.

This is the range in which students may curre ntly a~ply th rough the Special Talent Admassions Program. In regular adm issions, a T-score of SO is now requ ired . The T-score reflects UB's quantitative meas ures for determining re gu la r ad mission. Eq ual , weight is give n to ra nk in class, SAT or ACT sco re, and high school average. Durkin said UB developed a mino rity recruitment plan in 1984, by way of directive.

As a result. said Durkin, there were indications that " we were den ying admission to minority applicants who were being offered admassion at peer institutions ... In 1987, U B added an "affirmative actio n component" to the Special Talent Admissions Program . T his ad d iti on was recomme nd ed by the vice provost for special program s a nd approved by the enrollment management co mm ittee . Afte r thi s ac tion , the number of applicants in the allowa ble increased slightly. However. Durkin said , minority enro llment remained a conce rn. By April 1987 , U B had appointed a coordi nato r of minority admissions and put in place a revised recru itment plan for minorities. The plan called for recruit ing minorities in areas .. where we had no t prev iously recruited .

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

Dean H. Fredericks, as~ts t a~t vtcc president for facilities, C satd thts week . The project invol ves extensive work. o n the wes t sid e of both bridges which span Bizer C reek and Sweet Home Road between the campus and the 1-990. The ramps are expected to be: closed until early in December, but the D.O.T . contract is wri tten in s uch aJ way that wo r k co uld be co mplered late in October. Wh ile the ramps are closed. motorists eastbound on the Youngmann who take the 1-990 will be routed past the present State Universi ty exit to the Audubo n ParJtway exit. From there. they _will proceed so uth o n Aud ubon, crosstng ont o t he ca mpus at Ellicott Creek just SOUl h or No nh Forest Road.

According to Fredericks, the contractor must resupport the so uth end of the bridges and remove the co ncrete reinfo rcement and all the back fill material in the area. It is the existi ng back fill th a t has c rea ted th e problem, he explained - a cinder back fill material has res ulted in a corrosive co ndition th at has caused co rrugated metal attachmen ts to disintegrate. 0 Trustees okay athletic fee, guidelines for boards T he SUN Y Boa rd of Trustees has made two recent decisio ns •rr<:cting ath le tics 111 SU NY •nStJ.lutlons. On May 24, the board approved g u i dc:f inr ~ for the establ is hment of interco llegiate a thlet ics boards a t SUNY"s 29 state-operated institutions. Along with tha t decis io n. the board au thorized a campus option to charge a n athletics fee in supp ort of intercolle giate progra ms. The board passed a resolution requ iring campuses to establish athletics boards made up of fac ult y and administrative representatives. The policies of these boards must be consistent with the policies of the National Collegiate Ath le tic Association or the NationaJ Junior College Athletic Association. These organizations will gove rn the intercollegiate partici patio n of SUNY teams. The resolution stemmed from recommendations of the Chancellor's Task Force on the Quality of Stud ent Life. The establishment of campus boards will ~s ure that the University's sta teoperated campuses are in NCAA compliance, said Frank G. Pogue , Jr. . vice chancellor for student affai rs and special programs. UB·s Intercollegia te Athletics Board alread y performs th is function . said Ne lso n Townsend. d irector of ath letics here. T he existence of the lAB places the Univers ity a step a head of its sister institutions. he said . .. An intercollegiate athlet ics board is a necessi ty in any un iversity. The boa rd ens ures th at the athletics program not only is run well, but ope rates within the academ ic missio n of the universi ty... Townsend noted . A n at hletics fee wo uld rep lace the curre nt funding system for intercollegiate athletics. Currently, programs are funded by student activity fees . Intercollegiate at hlet ics shares the fee with numerous st udent clubs, 8ctiVit ies, and organizati ons. as well as in tramuraJ and recrea tio nal sports programs. The new fee wo ul d enable campuses to fund athletics separately from oth er student programs. lntrainUrals and recreational spons would still be fu nded by studen t activity fees. The athletics fee would have a ca p of S30 per full-time stud ent per semester. The fee wou ld guarantee a consistent so urce of revenu e to help ensure a co nsistent, quality program. Initiation of the fcc would also remove the necessit y for raising the cap o n student aCtivity fees. That cap is currently S I 20 per year. an amount which several cam- puses have urged the trustees to raise . At th is point, no decision has been made regarding implementation of an athletics fee at UB, Townsend said. In fact, the fee has not been considered by the Unive rsity. Approval of the fee, though, is a .. progressive step'" taken by th e trustees, he said . It a ntic ipa tes the need for the type of funding th at a q ualit y athletics progra m requires and indicates SUN Y's desire to have such a program. .. Approval of the fee ensures - the fi nancial resources to ca rry out a uni versity's co mmitment to an athletics progriml:· Townsend said . .. It does not say to an athletics department, ·w e want a great program , now you go find the money to ope rate it.' .. In his view. the latter approach encourages the ki nds of .. creative funding .. th at often get colleges int o trouble. 0 $2 million for UB in House-approved DOE authorization he effon to obtain S2 millio n ift federal fund s to assist th e development of a Manufacturing Techn o log ies Re sea rch C omp lex in Bai rd Re search Pa rk moved another step forwa rd th is week as th e: H o use of Repr ese nt atives a pproved a FY '89 Dep a rtment of Energy auth orization bill.

"O ur se n se is it's n ot time .... We have made a very, ve ry big commitment in energy and ourselves at the University. Being out here has allowed us to realize that's how we feel abo ut Buffalo." Accordingly, Sample told the N•ws that he had called Michigan officials involved in the presidential search. He told them funber discussions about the job "would not be fruitful." At . las~ -- ~ont~ ~s facul_t_r . m.e~ti~~: ... Sample said d uring his years here, he has been a pproached several times with what he consders very 'ood job offers.

Sample said he bad been approached several times about the position as SUNY chancellor, but declined. It's so far remov~ }_rom _the academy t~~t it loses the att ractiveness of jobs th a t are campus-based, he explained. D. Bruce Johnstone, president of Buffalo State College, will do a good job as the new chancellor, Sample said. adding that "it's a t o ugh job." Johnstone takes over Aug. I. One of our difficulties at UB is to familiarize SUNY officials with this campus, which is more complicated than other SUNY campuses, Sample noted. But Johnstooe "taught on this campus, supervised doctoral students here, and has an appreciation for UB," Sample said.

I've never known a nyo ne who was more dedicated to the we lfare or this place .- ernice found in UB a place where her intellect could thri ve, where her need to accomplish could be fulfilled . Beginning as assistant to the chair of Sociology, she adva nced quickly to assistant to the provost (dean) of the Faculty of Social Sciences and from there to assistant to the vice president for academic development. Later. she was again assistaot to the chair. this time in History. From there s he became assistant to the provost (later dean) of the Faculty of Arts and Letters. Subsequently , she served several years as assistan t dean of Arts a nd Letters. In 1983, she joined the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. which was soop expanded into the Office: of the: Provost, the University's chief academic officer. Said Greiner: .. Her empl oy ment took her into the broadest range of Universi ty activities that non -te aching pro fes sio nals can ge t into. She worked everywhere from th e department level, to th e faculty level. to the vice preside nti al level. In a se nse. she saw it all. in terms of faculty de velop ment. faculty personnel work. budget. She really had a tremend o us range of experience ... In 1978. Bernice received the SUNY C hancellor 's Award for Excellence in Professional Service. the not-unexpected result . of a flurry of letter.; from colleagues and associates. Wrote Evelyn Smithson o f Classics: .. From the start , I have been impressed by her sc rupulous fairness.

"She attended lectures, plays. and conce rts and participated in volunteer groups within the University and in the comm un ity ... She could also talk easi ly about compu ters, the law, Spinoza. and the Talmud . ..She was sensitive. always concerned about ho w other people felt ," Greiner added. "And yet without being a Milquetoast. Sometimes people could even get upset with Bernice but she would call it as she saw it. "She loved to laugh. She could sec the humor in things. One of the reasons I think she got on so well here, is that this is an office in which you'd best . have a se nse _of humor. We uocd I.Q.!ij her a bout belOg our •co ncerned humanist.' This was Bernice 's special role in the office with all us tough , gruff. managerial types. ernice's love of her job helped her through the loss in 1985 of her husband , Gi lbert, an optometrist who shared her interests in the arts and the environment. The couple had a summer cabin in the Colde n woods where guests were treated to informed co m· mentary about butterflies, sun-dappled trees, and the rich sce nt of pines. She was devo ted to her children. Katherine. a lawye r, Ellen. a psychiatrist.

Roberta Gaick 's paper, ••Effects of Bioaugmentati o n Under St ud y and Non-Study State in Fluent Conditions, .. examines the dual nature or treating hazardous waste. In her paper Gaick says that so mctim~s. when trying to degrade hazardous waste, the bacteria selected to do the job arc not enough a nd a supplemeet is needed. Those supplement s arc usually other bacteria non-indigenous to the waste, said Scott Weber, UB assistant professor of civil engineering. By adding them to the waste, the process can., be speeded up. However, most of the literature on A th e to pic s hows th at suppleme nts tested under laboratory experiments have no effect o n degrading the wast e while field experiments show just the opposi te effect. Gaick's paper reinforces th at dua lit y. She says that experiments done under field conditions, which are everchanging, benefit from the supplement s. Controlled laboratory experiments. because of the constancy, show no benefit from the freeze-<lricd and commercially sold su pplements. Gaiek, a fir.;t-year graduate student in the Civil Engineering Department, is st udying for her M.S. degree with a concentration in environmental engineering. The Buffalo resident won S 1,000 and will read her paper at the ASCE nat ional, conference in Vancouver this July.

It is diffi cult to bel ieve that someone teaching in an African-American Studies Department could write an anicle filled with so many factu al errors a nd diston ions.

Finally, Mr. KaJu-Nwiwu 's view th at ..They (African · Americans) now want President Reagan to nuke Iran and Libya .. is ridiculo us. African· Americans are for peace not war.

Further. most black scholars including Allen Counter, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Manning Marable, William J . Wilson.

As late as 1985, the median income of black families was onl y about $17,000. In that same year, thert wen: less than 5,000 blacks making over $15,000 a year, and only four per cent of the black population earned more than $50,000 a year, and almost a third still lived in poveny. Most signiflCantly, over the past eight years, blacks have actually lost income relative to whites.

Last year, the duck flew over a two· stor y-high enclosed terrace at the: school to nest and raise a fami ly of II ducklings. She's back again this yea r with another II . It was a surprise in 1987 when Law Professor Alan Freeman and his wife and colleague Betty Mensch discovered the female mallard on the fifth Ooor terrace of O'Brian. They and other faculty and staff were even more surprised when she emeried from the thick ivy which covers the area, parading her family. Then: everyone p1tched in to make the guests feel at home . Joined by staff members Anne Mis· sert and Amy Hypnarowski and other faculty, Freeman and Mensch lugged colorful child-sized wading pools to the terrace so the little family could learn to swim. Feeding schedules and pool cleaning chores were divided so even on weekends and holidays. the ducks would be fed and could enjoy the clean swimming environment they learned to prefer. As May stretched into July last year, membe.-. of the "duck patrol" began "' worry that the II babies, which were growing rapidly, might not be able to Oy to freedom over the high walls. But in August, after apparently several weeks of practice, mother and youngsters left for greener pastures. bout six weeks ago this year. a female mallard was spotted wanA dering around on the fifth Ooor terrace. " But she new off, and we didnl see her again," said Missen, a secretary at the law school. On May 16, however, the duck wadd led from underneath the ivy with her latest family . Word spread quickly as the "duck patrol" mobilized for another summer of duty. Missert emphasizes that while there 's no way to know whether it's the same mallard mother, there's a good chance that it is. Or it might be one of the ducks hatched on the flfth-Ooor terrace last year. It's unlikely that the mallard mother knew t hat Freeman and Mensch, along with Barry Boyer, teach a course in the law school entitled "Nature, Ecology and the Law" which includes such issues as protecting endangered species. But she certainly came to the right place. 0 �June 9, 1988 Summer No.1 '- Commencement 1988 saw over 5,000 graduates join the ranks of Universi ty alumni in 13 separate ceremonies. Proud parents and spouses clogged aisles to snare glimpses of the1r graduates. Graduates carried signs or wore messages on their hats so th ey could be gl~mpsed by spec tat ors in Alumni Arena where many of the ceremonies were held before larg~ , no1sy audiences. Champagne corks popped; proud grads pumped their fists in the a1r m tnumph. hugged and kissed, and began to move on to the next stage 1n the1r lives. To gUide them on that passage , speakers exhorted them to choose life, to foster freedom, to champiOn fa1rne ss. to face truth , to work together for a better world for aiL Some student , already at work on th ose tasks . quiety leaneted commencement-goers with pamphlets protesting Star Wars-related research on campus . It seemed to match the spirit of Governor Mario Cuomo's General Commencement rhetoric: "The future is beyond our vision, but not beyond our inOuence ." GENERAL is name wasn't on the list of those _receiving degrees, but UB\ 142nd General Commencement was nonetheless Maria Cuomo's commencement. From the time he strode into Alumni Arena bareheaded amid a sea of mortarboard caps until he shook the hand of the I ,400th graduate, the Governor was the star o f the show, May 22. Cheers broke like a football .. wave" across the jammed arena as various pans of the audience spotted Cuomo in the o pening line of march. " Mario! Mario!" rang the shouts as graduates and parents waved and reached out to touch the man many believe will one day occupy H the White House . Graduates roared like basketball fans at the Final Four when Cuomo was introduced from the podium. shouted their assent as he crowdpleasingly lashed ou t against Star Wars in his Commencement address. and fi nally jumped to their feet as he concluded his patently inspirational ... We are the World " address. The C lass of 1988 "has all the choices to do or not to do, to try or not to try" to achieve a grand new world. he submitted . " I think I know what your choice will be ... he said with infectious feeling. Later, like some favorite uncle. the governor hugged , and mugged with , graduates as he personally congratulated everyone wh o received a diploma. Those who expected a polite, formal handshake got just that. Those inte rested in exuberant arm-pumping found Cuomo to be equally accommodating. High-rives were reciprocated. and huggers got hugged back . Every so ofteh the entire procession of graduates halted as an irrepressibly expansive student threw his arm around the go vernor's shoulder and waited for mo m or dad to rush up and snap a picture. Cuomo grinned as broadly as each of those st udents who one day will show the grandchildren that treas ured snapshot of .. me and Mario."

As graduates, Noah advised, ..you must choose to be professional. It does not happen on its own. Choose to put your client's needs above your own .... Choose not to talce advantage of your specialized knowledge at the expense of those whom you would serve. And , above all. choose to work hard at keeping yourself up to date in a world where knowledge is changing fast.. .. In the political sphere. graduates face a .. mom~tous "' choice, Noah said ...That choice governs when and how we can coexist with the technoiogy of nuclear weapons."

"(Now) unless we are exceedingly careful and wise to make the right choices, we may be the last ge nerat io n to inhabit the planet that we would recognize as our earth." Noah repeated the advice given him by his matern a l grandm other. who emigrated to England fro m the city of Odessa in the Ukraine. " Harold. the most important thing in life is to know how to choose between being patient and when to say. enough already." He concluded: "I believe we are long past the point when we human beings can continue being patient with the existence of nuclear weaponry. It is, in my grandmother's words, time to choose to say. enough alre ady. Nothing is perhaps more heartening to me at this moment. . . than the fact that the governments of the Soviet Uni o n and the United States are also making that choice and see m to be sayi ng , enough already."'

II MEDICINE & BIOMEDICAL SCIaCES volutionary geneticist Rebecca Cann told graduates of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences they should .. read , travel widely, and talk. not just to your colleagues but to communi ty organizations, school boards, politicians, and lawyers about your informed opinions. " During the May 22 exercises in Alumni Arena, 140 medical degrees were conferred along with 25 doctor of philosophy degrees in various biomedical science fields. Cann was part of a research team which last year reponed that all mankind shares a common female ancestor who lived in Africa abo ut 200.000 years ago. E might mean that people will have their careers chosen for them "before they have completed grade school. • The U.S. government would likely control the use of such tests she said, but other countries' might abuse them. As an examrle, s~e cited ~he present use o ammocenteslS to identify and abon female fetuses in some societies. ·As physicians, you will order a riumber of tests.

The student, too, enlarges his or her repertoire and enjoys the break in the otherwise solitary regimen of practicing. All those who panicipate, including non-performing auditors, will gain extensive knowledge of the concerto repertoire, says Boldt. Two hours of undergraduate or graduate credit are available for festival panicipants. In preparation for the event, the young pianists have rigorously prepared their poeces and will play the concenos or concerto movements from memory. Composers represented include Bee· thoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Poulenc, Rachmaninoff, Rubinste in , Saint Saeils, Schumann, Shostakovich, and Tchaikovsky. Among the pianists who will play during the master classes are Lorraine Abbou, K,yeong Won Jin, Jennifer Dillmar, Paul Mastalinsld, Stephen Rcen, Maxine Berens Bommer, Joshua Got- .. ben, Michael Musial, Theresa Quinn, Stephen Benino, Yoko Hirota, Luli Smith, Mark Vona, and Barbara Borkowski. By ANN WHITCHER D uring the master class, young pianists mull over the nuances of the repenoire, as they play under the watchful eyes of seasoned pros. On July 5-17, UB music professor Frina Arschanska Boldt will bring her second summer piano festival to UB, complete with visiting faculty , master classes, and lectures. Again, the concerto , in which the instrument is set off against an orchestra, will be the focus for st udent performances and master classes. In addition, the festival's resident faculty will play solo piano works in a series of Slee Hall concerts. This year's festival is entitled ... Piano Conceno from Dillersdorf to Cage." In all, there will be five faculty concens and another two ..concerto concerts" in Slee. All but o ne are at 8 p.m. Baird Hall will be th e site of 19 m aster classes featuring about 20 concerto perfo rmances. In addition , a four- part lecture series on the art of the master class will be held in Baird Hall. Faculty membe rs include: Boldt, her pianist husba nd Kenwyn Boldt, who is a membe r or the Buffa lo State College music fac ult y, and Stephen Drury, faculty member at the New England Conservatory and nrst prize winner in the 1983 Co ncert Artists Guild lnternarional Compctitiron. Also. Tong- 11 H an. who has performed with rh e New York Philharmonic. Chicago Symphony, and other ensembles; Albeno Reyes , past pri>e· winner in the Lc:ventritt and Tchaikovsky competitions; Roben Jordan who has appeared at Lincoln Cen ter and the Kenned y Center,. and U B alum nus Randall Kramer, co-artistic director of the Island Park Summer Repenory Com pan y. Other faculty are Elyane Laussade, Juilllard graduate who studi ed with Abbey Simon; J oseph Dechario, associate professor at Geneseo State; Phyl· lis East, associate professo r at Fredonia State, and Carol Wade, U B teac hing assistant in piano and theory. Also joining this year's faculty will be (:harles Peltz, music director of the UBuffalo Civic Symphony a nd conduc· tor of the Mozart Society Orchestra at Harvard . Peltz has performed a special chamber orchestra for the festival that will perform in one faculty concert and one master class. Faculty concerts will showcase piano works by Mozan, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Ravel, and Cage, among others. Randall Kramer will play Four Frina Arsch~nska Boldt Dances from leonard Bc;,.r nste in's .. West Side Story ... arranged ,.or piano solo by retired UB music prOfessor Leo Smit. "The festival is a wonderful opportunity for students to stud y with a very diverse faculty ," says Boldt. She adds that there are few opport unit ies for the young piano student to thorough ly delve into the repertoire , beyond the major conservatories or in the form of private lessons, all to the tune of thousands of dollars. " It 's a lonely professio n. You don\ really get the chance to socialize and exchange ideas. I think the master class is a wonderful way to exchange musical th oughts , even for young children." Boldt adds that the master class, increasingly popular in the United States, has long been a staple of the European method of advanced piano training. Through it. stude nts learn a great deal about various pedagogical approaches. Also, the master class helps a student learn other essentials of performance. L ocal piano teachers Sue Vasquez and Steven Bianchi are among those sending their students tc the festival. Vasquez will be present when her student, 11 -year-old Beth-Quimby, plays a Mozart piano concert during one of the master classes. Bianchi says many of his you nger students are auditing the course. " It's something I wouldn't want the'm to miss. This is a wondc:rf ul chance to hear a great deal of reper· toire over a two-week period." Boldt secured a grant from SUNY Conferences in the Disciplines to arrange the four lectures on the master class. One sessio n will look at how the conductor, so loi st and orchestra coo perate in performing a concerto.

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

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

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

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

"There are no jokes or the 'why did the chicken cross the road" variety in Russia, .. he said, "perhaps because for the average Russian, it is hard to imagine that a much sought after food item would wander unattended."" humor It has a lot in common with ours ussian humor is heavily politicized because Russian life is heavily politicized, said Draitser. But this should not be taken to mean that the Soviet people desire to overthrow the regime. "Today as always," said Draitser, "Russian people tell state-unapproved jokes in the privacy or their own homes, but continue to be members of the communist party, to go to May Day parades, and to look up to new leaders who promise to improve their lives and to undo the wrongdoings or their predecessors." The popularity of joke-telling in the Soviet Union can perhaps be attributed R By ANTHONY CHASE W by did the Russian cross the road?. The average American will tell you that it couldn' possibly have been to tell a joke. A recent poll indicates that only three per cent of Americans think Russians are fun-loving, cheerful, or have a sense or humor. Yet, Emil Draitser argues, when it comes to humor, Americans have even more in common with the Russians to a shortage of entertainment, said than they do with the British. Here's an example. The joke is Russian, but the humor is easy for an Draitser. This might also explain the popularity of alcohol. Draitser explained that the Russian attitude toward the drunkard is more positive than the American attitude. This is reflected in countless jokes about drinking. Citing an American joke that Russians could certainly appreciate, Draitser remarked that "the success of a party is measured in inverse ptoponion to what you can remember about it the next day." Russians don' have any of those insulting Polish jokes. When Russians look at Poland, said Draitser, they see a country with a higher staodard of living than their own. 'Where open demonstrations are possible, and where literature is more innovative and daring than in Russia. Armenia takes the place of Poland as American to appreciate.

His work: appeared in the Soviet humor magazme, Krokodil, and on Soviet television and radio, but today he's an assistant professor at Hunter College in New York City. f by did this Russian cross the road? It seems he published a satire on a play in Krokodil just as the playwright was promoted to a highranking editorship. Whoops. Draitser left for the United States in 1974. Far from being the cold and humorless robots depicted in James Bond W movies, Russians enjoy a long and lively tradition or folk-humor . said Draitser. Sometim::s Russian jokes suffer when transported to the American environment, he added. "To understand Russian jokes, takes exposure to repetitious propaganda ad nauseam," he said. Top this off with the fact that nobody can complain out loud, and then you can Emil Draitser Draitser observed that under Gorbachev, government is beginning to take begin to understand the Russian comic impulse, he said . "All this," opined Draitser. "makes Russians perhaps, if not the best creators, certainly the best consumers of humor in the world. ·Jokes are the means to compensate pride in Russian humor for the first time. It seems that Gorbachev, when launching a campaign against drunkenness, recommended that Russian citi~ zens drink mineral water instead. Later he remarked .

The senate's executive committee heard a report last week from a senate committee char~ed with evaluating the program's effectiveness. The Faculty Senate Committee on Admissions and Retention (FSCAR), chaired by Kenneth M. Kiser of Chemical Engineering, has recommended limiting the registration "of any identifiable group" in the special admissions program to a maximum or 30 per .cent. Two issues emerged at the meellnj!: • The senate's current information is that enrollment or underrepresented minorities is now being counted in the special talents category. President Sample, stating that be was speaking as a tenured full professor and nt9t as University president, said he "would be deeply concerned about any ~r~gram that would even appear to set lliDlU on enrollment or underrepresented minor- ities."' • Senate Chair John Boot said tbe '!.Ynority componef!t. .9L s~,adll\ik SIOns was adde<;l qwte reccrilly. There's • tee's actual conclusions. The Kiser committee believes that the number of athletes (or members of any "definable group," for that matter) should be limited to 30 per cent or the allowable ten per cent or special talent admits in any one freshman class. The original report gives the impression that the cap is 30 per cent or the actual number of special admits in a given year. Accordingly, Kiser and members or the PsEC agreed, the number of athletes admitted in a given year could be significantly higher than m the Fall or 1987, when 68 athletes (or SO per cent of all special admits) were admitted through the program. • There was a general agreement that, as Nick Goodman or Math put it, the language or "any identifiable group" needs to be "cleaned up."

Social Work 'connects' with SEFA and United Way drives T By JIM McMULLEN T here is a natural connection between UB's School of Social Work. and local human services agencies. The school works with these agencies to train students and conduct research. Man y of these agencies also benefit from the annual SEFA campaign, operated in conjunction with local division s of the United Way. A natural connection also exists between the School of Social Work arftl the division of the United Way of which it is part, which is the University itself. Fredrick Seidl, dean of the school, sits on the board of the UB division of the United Way. Other board members are University President Steven Sample and Joseph Alutto, dean of the Sehool of Management. The University is the only organization that can claim the distinction of being a separate division of the United Way, according to Seidl. As a unit unto itself, UB raised more than S400,000 through last year's SEFA campaign. Of that amount, a "tiny percenUlge" goes out of the county. The rest goes to local agencies. In recent years, the total UB donation has gone up an average of $40,000 annually. Included among the hundreds of assil;Ulnce programs represented by the United Way are drug and alcohol counseling, help with energy costs, and programs for the elderly and for the physically and mentally handicapped. Individual organizations receive small portions of the total, ,The money each agency recei'(es generally makes up only a small percentage of its operating budget, Seidl said. Funds are generally leveraged. This means the funds are provided as seed money for securing larger funding, usually from the government, for individual programs. That approach is highly successful, Seidl sai<l. bicause it's a lot easier to get government funding wben there is evidence of local commitment to...,......... ........ _. - ..__.,.. _._ his evidence is found in the strong support of the SEFA campaign by the University's faculty and staff. The amount of money raised annually reflects several kinds of UB commitment to the Western New York community, Seidl said . Among these are time, effort, and dollars . Among advances to be ann ounced are the results of animal stud ies condu cted by seve ral pharmaceutical companies o n new dru gs which show pro mise in treatment o f cance r. accordmg to UB professor of medicin a l chemi stry, Wayne K. Anderson. Ph .D . "These drugs are not yet avai lable to the public but are expected to under~o evaluation in human pauents wnhm t hree years because of the result s o f the animal stud ies," Anderson says. He emphasizes that with in Lbe past decade , even within th e past fi ve years. new ant\~ancer drugs have been entering the fight against dreaded malignancies each year. "There will probabl y never be a si n·gle 'cure' for cancer, but rather many drugs with different kinds of act io n> which will be used singly and - more often - in combination, to treat different types and stages of cancer," the U B scientist explains. Anderson, himself the developer of promising new anti~ancer agents now 10 the evaluation stage in animals, points out that design imd develo pment of the drugs are Jhe end product of a variety of scientific approaches. "As we learn more about the nature of the mechanisms which cause or contribute to a nonnal cell becoming malignant, we are bener able as scient- ists to specifically tail or drugs • h~eh will halt the malignant proceS> at "r· 1o us stages of development ," Ander\on po ints out.

However, they spend most of their time reviewing organiz.ations that have applied for United Way funding . "That way the individual contributor can be certain that the organization to which he is making a donation is a 'sound one," said Seidl. ~support for the SEFA campaign is a strong statement on the part of the faculty and staff here, that we care about the quality of life in the community and want to imprcv: that quality," Seidl alftrmed. We are saying that we are a part of the community, and that is part and parcel of what makes this a decent place to live. "Our response to the · annual campaign is a major symbol of the commitment of the University to Western New York. And it's interpreted that way by the community. We're around and we care about the place. Agencies and businesses are more likely to be helpful, knowing that we've made some investment in their future, and maybe they should make some in ours." The University's response to the SEFA campaign helps the people of Western New York understand the University !" a public university with local comrrutments, be added . "The kind of aooeptance :nd respect that we enjoy in be community IS a direc:t result of the SEFA program among other things.

In fact. professors were sometimes hauled before committees and fired because of alleged associations, however tenuous, with communism and communist·froot organizations. In his new book, Cold War on Campus: A Study of the Politics of Organizational Control, UB sociologist Lionel S. Lewis argues that many college and university administrators bowed to what they perceived to be outside pressures. Too often, he states, public relations considerations took precedence over tbe desire to preserve genuine acadeniic freedom. In this sober and detailed analysis, Lewis looks· closely at controversies at 58 colleges and universities during tbe periOcl-'1947-1956. Political considerations may have determined who was intitially picked and labeled, but after that, such considerations had barely any role in how the matter was resolved on campus. Lewis writes: "Although nearly all academic administrators pursued the Cold War on campus, a number frankly stated that it bad never occurred to them that the political beliefs or behavior of any faculty member might be dangerous. In fact , oniV... small minority saw the spread of worldlcommunism as being a direct or major threat to the · integrity of academic programs on their campus." Over 60 per cent of the 126 cases in Lewis' book resulted from the individual having been called to testify before some governmental body about bis or ber knowledge, connections, or contributions to communist influence on education. Most often the ~rilling took place during formal heanngs of the House committee on Un-Amcrican Activities or one of iu sub-committees. smaller number of individuals were called before investigators from other Congressional committees, state legislative committees, commissions on A on-American activities, or state boards of education. Finally, Lewis writes, it didn' matter whether a person took the Ftfth Amendment to aven the danger of prosecution for perjury, or beca~ be or she believed such heanngs vtolated due process~ "The decision to ~fuse to answer these sorts of questtons . IS precisely what led to tbetr beconung (targets)." Others chose not to answer questions they thought irrelevant, although they did not seek the protection of the Fifth Amendment. "A few would n~ produce records; a half dozen were cited for contempt of - Congress. Some may have lied, some may have forgotten, some may have been too high-minded, some may have been frightened, some may have had something to hide. Very few were eager to discuss events often ten, fifteen, or twenty years in the past. All caught the attention of academ1c authorities." Faculty were frequently suspect, too, if they participated in the 1948 Progressive Party candidacy of Henry Wallace, or if they had refused to sign a loyalty oath. Only a handful of accused faculty were members of the communist party, Lewis writes. More often, they bad been associated with communist-front organizations, as defined by the Attorney General's office, or they were active in left-wing causes like the Wallace campaign.

In the early years of the Cold War, the Joint Legislative Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities in the State of Washington decided to prestigious investigate subversive activities at the schools were the most courageous in resisting the storm_.. Public universities often felt the pressures stemming from their ·obligation to the sensibilities of taxpayers, who were greatly concerned about the perceived communist threat. But there were too many exceptions to this general trend, says LeWIS, for there to be a pattern. "In large schools and small schools, in public institutions and private University of Washington. The hearings were based on one senator's claim that, in all likelihood, "not less than 150" faculty members were ..communists or sympathizers." The hearing was welcomed by both the university's administration and the board of regenu. Perhaps the most courageous example of resistance to outside pressure was set by Sarah Lawrence College, then facing institutions, in distinguished universities intense criticism from the American and provincial colleges, administrative responses were more often anticipatory than reactive. The habit of acquiescence appeared to be well developed among academic administrators .... Lewis' research reveals that once the charges were made, presidents and administrative boards were not aU that mterested in whether a professor had continue<!. to adequately discharge his Legion, tbe Hearst press, and the publication Counterattack. • Lewis explains: "The pressure on Sarah Lawrence was so intense that it was even asked by community leaders or her duties in research and teaching. answer to questions about communist Funhermore, in the cases outlined , pany members or sympathizers on the ftculty." Sarah Lawrence's president, Harold Taylor, responded this way: "Teachers who meet the test of candor, honesty, and scholarly integrity may pot be deprived of any rights they hold as cittzt:ns of this country, including the right to belong to any legal political organization of their choosing ... . " Reed College, on the other hand, dismissed philosophy professor Stanley Moore after be refwed to discuss with campus authorities questions concerning bis possible commynist associations or . communist party m-e-mbership. But the Reed College board did not dismiss two other faculty members who there was no evidence that a professor had tried to indoctrinate his students. .. Individuals were more commonly judged by what they were presumably thinking (or what they may have at one time thought) or by their associations than by their actions," writes Lewis. "It was common to bear a university president argue that it was possible to determine the quality of a faculty member's academic work examining it." writes authorities L ewis without that some academic ••went well beyond to justify its reaJ estate tax exemption. The commander of tbe local Legion post wrote the school and demanded, under threat of the 'fullest publicity,' that the president give an 'official' admiued past membership and denied present membership in the communist party .. The difference was that these Jndtvtduals fully cooperaied wtth authorities. I n general, Lewis states. professors who explained their past associations as youthful error and showed the requisite amount of contrition, were often forgiven by administrators. This caused a wide inconsistency in how cases were handled , even within the same school. Lewis states that Antioch College and MIT "were perhaps most successful , in withstanding a succession of charges from politicians, civic organizations, and the media. "It is obvious that it was not common sociological characteristics of the institutions that determined bow they responded - Antioc~ is smal!, rural, and midwestern, while MIT IS large, urban, and eastern. What was common to both, however, was an uncompromisin$ commitment on the part of adminiStrative authorities to JOstitutional autonomy." Academic freedom, Lewis concludes, means "that no faculty member may be dismissed for belonging to organizations or for holding opinions tint" are contrary to the orthodox, provided that he does not allow bis associations or opinions to distort what be teaches stuaents or how he conducts his research." • But, Lewis states, the cases in his book make clear "the limits of academic freedom in a time of national insecurity.

Greiner announced Tuesday on behalf of President Sample. Stull, 55, was identified in what Greiner described as "a superbly run search" headed by Dean Fredrick Seidl -of the School of Social Work. The se'!rch process began last spring. Prior to that, the H RP school underwent a year of evaluation during which the school itself and a visiting committee of faculty and community professionals looked at its future role and direction. The search panel, Greiner said , brought in "superb candidates" and Stull, who had been a member of the visiting committee, was endorsed by a consensus of all concerned. At both Wisconsin and at the University of Minnesota (where the deanelect served previously), Greiner said, officials gave Stull the strongest possible recommendations for his leadership, his judgement of faculty quality, and his skills as a ftrm, but diplomatic representative of the educational units which be headed on those campuses.

At comparable universities. the report notes , "modes of organization range from highly -centralized departments of staHltics that control and coordinate aU statistics offerings to associations of individuals from diverse departments who collectively practice and define the field of statistics. . . . . "It is not the organizational pattern that determines the quality of the program but, not surprisingly, the qualilicallons and personalities of the individuals." • To meet UB's future needs in statistics, enhanced and coordinated statistics research and consulting activities should be implemented . The report states : "The existing organizational pattern of statistics is not, in our opinton, adequate to meet current or future needs. ... "We recommend a series of changes that, whilst conservative of resources, are designed to strengthen simultaneously our statistics prqence and activities, to coordinate statistics offerings, to initiate a consulting service and to foster collaborative research. If these recommendations are accepted, in whole or in ·part, some erganizational changes will be neccssary.

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

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

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

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

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

This is the view of UB law professor Marjorie Ginh. She says that many pressing domestic issues affect women disproportionately. Take welfare reform, for example. ·welfare recipients really can l afford to move into the job marlr.et because they lose the benefits that make it possible for them to function, such as day care, medical care, and to some extent job· training. And they can l afford {these benefits) out of their own paychecks. This is predominantly a female problem." She adds: • Another issue affecting not only welfare recipients but all employed mothers of children up to age 15, is the absence of affordable, quality day care. ln many cases, husbands are either unemployed from heavy industry or re-cnployed at much lower wage levels than originally. So the wives must work and in fact their salaries may be the predominant salaries in the households."

In reviewing position pa{'Crs from the three candidates, Ginh S81d she was •,struck" by the fact that •everybody seems to be on the same themes reforming welfare, stopping drug use, improving education, etc. The approaches vary. But at least they're not talking about things which women would find irrelevant. " I anticipate that these issues could become important in the fall election. Candidates and their reprtsentatives will need to he visited by groups that represent women's concerns. And their attention has to he brought to hear on these topics and bow imponant they are to many female voters." s the media to blame for relative Ireally, inattention to women's issues? Not says Ginh. ·ne large fields that the were competing initially allowed' the candidates to he more general rather than specific. So far, we have really learned more about their personalities than we have about their positions on substantive issues. "Jackson's and Dukakis' position papers have been created so far in the context of a primary, where the differences among the candidates are not so great. It looks to me as if Bush's papers were prepared for the general election. "My expectations wo~ld be that once there is a Democratic candidate, that candidate would become more specific In other words, I expect the vice presidential candidate to be a white middleaged male. She elaborates: "This race is predicted to he close. And they won l know at the time the selection is made whether that prediction is correct or not. So I assume that they will he operating on that assumption, and therefore will be less inclined to take a chance with the identity of the vice president." Ginh ex~ that orpnizal women's groups will be lobbyina bard for women's issues as the camp~ beats up. The National Orgaruzat10n for Women (NOW) holds its national convention in Bu.ftaJo late: next month .... , am sure tbey11 take advantage of the timing (just before the Democratic and Republican Conventions)." She adds: ·1 think the president has a difficult assignment in terms of translating goals into programs. I'd like to see someone who does not respond in a kind of automatic fashion to the desires of his constituency. •This is a very diverse country. I think that a president who respects the rights of all people to make choices about the ways their families function, would bave a healing effect on the nation's divisions." In .the final analysis, says, Ginh, "it is cruc1al that women vote. If they haven l registered, they should do so immediately. It's easy to say that tbe problems are so large that other people control the solutions and therefore one's vote doesnl matter. But that is very shortsighted." Ginb is a specialist in bankruptcy and consumer tssucs and also teaches courses in non~mpl.oyment genderbased discrimination. She and her students are currently reviewing a range of issues including health care, teen pregnancy, and •strategies" to create coalitions that advance wom,.sg:.s_ concerns. 0 Books in& in MOICOw's intciSeetual and anistk center, the Arbat.

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

Ehrlich says. • The relationship between economic growth and po pul at io n growth.

The conference is the fi rst major undertaking of the institute. whic h was establ ished last yea r with a S I mill ion . five-yea r grant from th e U.S. Agency for International Dc:velopment. 0 major themes: • The rate of productivity growth and tec hn o logical progress is influe nced by the domestic economy. Give n that technological change is the chief source of long-term improvements in labor productivity and o utput per capita, effective studies of growth a nd de vel· o pment would have to treat technological c hange and productivity growth as endogenous, not just external. to the eco nomy, Ehrlich says. "We bring together stud ies th at explo re an explanation of the diversity of growth rates between low- and highincome countries as a result of facto rs and ci rcumstances under which induced te c hn ical in nov ation , in either its embodied or disembod ied form , may be encou raged," he says. • The relation ship between the level and rate of productivity growth in lowincome countries and government policies co ncern ing international trade, fore.isn private investment. tax policies. cent ral planning, regulation of business, and property right s. ..

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

"The major issue is that in the our book budget is insuffiformula cient ," said von Wahlde .

The fo ur university centers must sup- T port expensive Ph.D. and professional programs that suffer a much higher rate of inflation. The other universit Y centers are in an ide ntical crunch . Albert Dekin. Jr., act- mg director of libraries at SUNY Binghamton. mirrored von Wahlde's sentiments in a letter to that university's rresident. ..

Last month the Michigan library newslener, Update. reponed the results of a study that revealed that a small group of European publishers was respons ible fo r a huge percentage of the increase in the library's serials budget.

D I �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Sit In Group protests SDI research policy By ANN WHITCHER F allowing an hour-long meeting on Monday with Vice President for Sponsored Programs Dale M. Landi , about 35 students staged a "Star Wars" sit-in protest on the fifth floor of Capen Hall. About 18 of the students remained until 11:15 p.m. when the protest broke up peacefully. Public Safety officers were present throughout the demonstration but no arrests were made. The students were protesting the University's response to five of their demands having to do with Professor Walter J. Sarjeant"s research project on power conditioning, research that applies to Strategic Defense Initiative (or .. Star Wars} Systems . The students told Landi that "signed , spo nsored research contracts and agreements should be made openly and readily available to the public." They also demanded a September public hearing here on the SDI issue to be allended by Landi, President Sample, SUNY Chancellor-designate Bruce Johnstone, and John Buckhoff, executive director of the Research Foundation. In the protestors' view, the Research Foundation should bold hearings on any pending or existing research upon the request of 100 petitioning SUNY facuJty, students, or staff. ~ ~ § _ ~ o ~ Landi added that "we are committed to academic freedom. We accept a contract on bebaiJ of the faculty member. We make sure that it doesn' violate SUNY policies. Beyond that we believe a faculty member should be free to choose what research be or she wishes to do, without intimidation. No freedom is total. But to violate it, there must be a very compelling reason ... The s-tudents also conrended rhar the B violate the freedom of inquiry that contract on .. SDI Power Conditioning'" is in violation of Section 42 of the exists at a university. Landi said that SUNY guidelines . In their view . once his office ascertains that a contract is legal and in compliance with the policies of the SUNY Board of Trustees, it is up to the faculty member and the granting agency whether or not to discuss it publicly. -clauses on pages five and six of the contract allow for Pentagon prepublication review of any information related to the research . The co ntract ut Landi said such a hearing would also allows the Defense Department to classify any of the research results. The Aaron Lercher describes his apprehensions about research on campus. SUNY guidelines state that all research must be fully unrestricted." Landi said that counsel has determined that the contract is not a violation of the SUNY guidelines. Moreover , as the s1udents agreed, the govem~nt can classify the research if it s-o chooses . However , Landi disagreed with student Eric Goldhagen that the w o rding s hows the gOvernment's attempt .. to generate classified results ." andi said the power conditioning research was ongoing before the L contract was awarded in May. 1985. and has non-military applications. So far nothing has been classified. If th' government were to classify th~ research , the University would regard i1 as a violation of the contract. When the meeting ended , the stu· dents began to chant .. runaround runaround." Speaking with reporters after tb meeting, Landi said ""we were not in position to accept the student~ demands. Ir was a good exchan$e ... We don't believe there is any violation. · Students felt otherwise. To the strains of a '60s Janis Joplin tune. the} sang: "Oh, Lord, won' you build me a laser defense. .Let 's do som' research and hide the evidence." The students said they had gathered about 1050 names on a petition calling for the public hearing. 0 Baccalaureate Service slated for May 20 at Ellicott By JIM McMULLEN S tudents and their families are invited to participate in UB's third annual Baccalaureate Prayer Service on Friday, May 20. The ecumenical service will be held at 2 p.m. in the Jane Keeler Room in the Ellicott Complex. The brief ceremony will be sponsored by the Campus Ministries Association, a coaJition of 16 ministries represented at the University. The ceremony will precede a number of other awards and honors ceremonies that day. The non-denominational service will include music, prayer, scripture read- ings, and a brief address from the Rev. Karen Lipinczyk of the· Campus / Church Coalition. "The message will take the form of a commission "to the graduating seniors. They have been in the Universit y world and now they are going out into another one. What they do in that world is less important than how the y do it," said Lipinczyk. " As members of a global village, we must all .be as conscious as we can about how our actions affect our neighbors. Our ethics and values are a part .o f all other aspects of our lives, and we must work hard to bring values and ethics into our worlds." she said . "We want to greet students and parents and begin the weekend with a service that is both meaningful and symbolic of the role of the ministries at the University, to bring a blessing upon all those who are graduating," said the Rev. John Zeitler, convener of the Campus Ministries Association.

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

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

Panel asks 30°/o cap on any one type of special admits By ANN WHITCHER faculty senate commiuee has recommended limiting the registration "of any identifiable group" in the special admissions program to a maximum of 30 per cent. The report from the so-<:alled "Kiser Commiuee," was reviewed yesterday by the senate's executive committee. The Faculty Senate Commillee on Admissions and Retention (FSCAR), chaired by Kenneth M. Kiser of Chemical Engineering, also recommends that the senate "continue to support the policy of admitting freshmen through the Special Talents Program· pending a study of the full admissions program." This study should be developed by the FSCAR in conjunction with Institutional Studies and Admissions, the report states. After the study is completed, "the Faculty Senate should reconsider continuance of the program." The commitee "was unable to develop any evidence that the Special Talents program works ~ither to the good or to the detriment of the University.

Metz of Telecommunica· tions International , Inc .. the University's consultant, and James 0 . Whit· lock, UB 's manager of network systems and the project director. The figure includes S3.5 million for service to dormitories. According to the repon . ''the project will affect every employee and resident student. . .and will have major influences on the institution for at least the next seven years ... The repon lists problems with the current system. For one thing. UB has never competitively procured telephone service. Also, the current split campus service makes it difficult to .. realize cost savings possible from the use of private and public long distance networks . ''In addition , because the system (analog Ce ntrex) and the eq uipment that we use with it (primarily rotarydial sets) are archaic, there are few useful time and cost savi ng features available and access to them is cumbersome enough to discourage the average user. .. Also. the current system .. offers virtually no high performance data carry· ing capabilities. .There are no electronic video distribution systems. satellite based interconnections. or teleconferencing facilities to serve the University. " In addition. while demand among resident students is extremely high. there is no provision for adequate reception of even local commercial television channels in the dormitories - let alone for reception of supplemental edu· cational programming ... he repon says a cohesive plan is T needed to address UB's present and future communication needs . These include modern telephone services, high speed data communications networks, fire alarm and energy management signaling systems, and sophisticated video communications with other parts of the world . As the demands have grown in all areas of telecommunications, the technologies available to meet them have advanced dramatically. Analog tech· nologies for transmission and switching of voice telephony are being replaced by disJtal techniques. "Dtgital .e lectronic Private Branch Exchanges (P BXs) and modem digital cent ral office systems economically provide myriad features, functions, and services virtually unknown a decade ago. It is now possible to transmit data over twisted pairs of copper wire at speeds far in excess of what was only rece ntl y thought to be the practical limit of this med ium. "Applications of fiber-optic techno!· ogy permit the transmissiOn of huge amounts of information through tiny strands of glass at speeds thought to be imP.ossible only a (ew years ago. The ability to transmit voice, data, and video signals simultaneously over the same medium is becoming commonplace." he report states that the "telecom· T munications revolution bas made a significant impact on higher education throughout tbe country.

Hechinger, who writes the week.ly New York Times column • About Education," spoke in O'Brian Hall last week in the Educational Forum series, sponsored by the Faculty of Educational Studies. Hechinger said past school reform movements were based on efforts by federal and state education agencies to upgrade the whole educational system. These efforts failed to Lake into account the importance of the individual teacher, he said. The current school reform movement emphasizes the empowerment of teachers. Key to that empowerment is the notion that teaching is a profession, not just a job. School environments and teacher ed ucation must change. Also , teachers must be allowed to advance in their profession, Hechinger said. Many teachers are "locked into a box " from the moment they enter their first classroom, Hechinger contended . They lack the opportunity to interact with their collea~ues to develop meaningful changes 10 their teachmg and curricula. Hechinger proposed creation of a "teacher-intern.. program that would allow new teachers to work together with veteran, mentor teachers in devel- capacities of the professionals and the students in that school. Teachers, as the individuals most instructi on in schoo ls. are the most qual ified to make judgments and develop changes in education. Hechinge r argued . The job of admi nis trators should be to set broad goals and allow the schools to work gradually toward them. "Inevitably , teacher empowerment means a shift ing of power, so that school boards and superintendents stay out of the way of day-Lo-da y inst ruction in the schools. "I'm willing to predict that unless this adjustment is made. unless the hierarchical arrangement of power in schools changes, there is verv little hope for the future of school reform ... Hechinger said . long with that change. he went on, schools must be more willing to study modeJs that are successful and put these models imo practice in their o wn area. .. When and if the profession focuses on the 'islands of excellence' that exist. the reform movement will be in much A better shape," he said . Many of the successful models adupt a holistic approach to individual discipli nes. linkmg the humanities with the social and natural sciences. In order to adopt those models successfull y, teachers must be well prepared , not on ly in their own fields , but in general knowledge and planning. oping teaching style and professio nal- Colleges and universities must respond ism. Mentors. or "lead teachers.·· would provide the new teacher's link to a net- oro us work of colleagues. R estructuring of schoo ls is another key ingredient of school reform, he said. This restructuring should not follow a "master plan" for creating a new system. Rather, each school should be allowed to adapt Lo the needs and Fred Hechinger d irectl y invo lved with day-to -day to this demand by providing more rigte ac her-traini ng program s, Hechinger stated . .. T he publ ic is ready for these changes now, Hechinger said. The greatest amount of hostility toward the current reform movemen t, he co ncluded. has come from admi nistrators. who are comfortable with the control the current system offers them . 0 Phi Beta Kappa will induct 92 in ceremony on May 20 inety-two students will become members of Phi Beta Kappa at the scholastic honor society's annual induetion ceremony Friday, May 20, at 3 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre, Ellicott.

The impact of fluoridation in reducing dental caries is only one of the far-reaching advances \ in technology and treatment that have oompletely changed the practice of dentistry. Future advancements in the management of o ral disease include the control of the infective organisms responsible for caries and periodontal disease, and the utiliz.ation of biologic response modifiers for the management of oral malignancies. These new modalities of care, once perfected, will have an even more far-reachi ng impact on the profession. Ind eed. the very word "dentistry" with its technical connota lion is almost an anachronism. Today. and increasingly in the future. .. dental medicine .. more accurately reflects the discipline. The fact that these ad vancements arc accelerating so quickly, and will have such a significant im pact on professional practice, is a direct consequence of the emerging role of professional schools in major uni versi ties as centers of research and specialty training. This School of Dental Medicine has been a pathfinder in the evolution of the profession and is now internationally recognized as one of the leaders in research , in clinical excellence. and in the integration of many university disciplines into the academic training of highly-<jualified dental practit ioners and clinical scholars. Unlike most schools of dentistry in the country which began as private and often .. for-profit" institutions with no university affiliation, the School in Buffalo has had a unique relationship with the University from the very beginning. While compiling the histo ry of the School for our forthcoming Centennial Celebration in 1992. Dr. Richard A. Powell, associate dean (retired), found these critically important notes: "O n May 3, 1892 at the annual meeting of the Council of the University, ... Dr. Roswell Park moved that a Dental Department be established upon the same terms and conditions that apply to other departments of the University." The motion was carried ...The depanment will belong to the University and every dollar contributed to its equipment will be vested in the Council - hence there will be no private proprietorship. nor can the policy of the school be so controlled by the Dental Faculty as to put it out of harmony with the other depanments of the Uni versity ... So from the very beginning, th is School was establ ished as a department of the University .. upon the same tenns and conditions that apply to other departments of the University." To comply with this charge has not been an easy task for the facult y of the School since the organization and appropriation of funds has not followed the typical University departmental structure. The early clinical teachings were pro vided by a dedicated cadre of regional practitioners who shared freely of their time and knowledge. In the early years, there was no full-time faculty. It was through the efforts of Dr. Daniel H. Squire, the third dean and one of the fust graduates of the School, that there came about a major reformation of the educational • program. Dean Squire insisted that dental st udents needed a strong background in the basic medical sciences and "failure to provide this foundation would be a dereliction." Gradually, the School began to teach its st udents on a more scientific leveL By the middle 20s, students were required to take two baccalaureate years before admission to the School. The first two years of the professional program consisted of .. medicine .. and the last years. of "'dentistry." The dental faculty , Dean Squire, and othe r members of the administration were still part-time academicians. According to the Gies Report ""this School in 1924 became the second in the United States to base its curriculum on two years of study in an a~ademic college. the Columbia Sch ool having been the first. "1 Dean Squire's vis io n of the School was so ins trumental in selling the standards for dental education that the new building dedicated 1n September 1986 was named Daniel H. Squire Hall to honor his memory . he merger of the Umvc rSH) of Buffalo with the State Universitv of Ne" York in 1962 brought new · resources and challe nges to all departments of the University. At that time. the School of Dental Medicine w as fonunate to have a dean who bro ught a new dimension and vision to T the programs of the School. During his tenure. 1960-70. Dr. James A. English deve loped a facult y to whom the challenge of scientific research was balanced against the need for continued clinical excellence. and it was through his leadership that preventive dentistry became the focus of this faculty . The first key to prevention is understanding the disease process: 1n oth er words, research . In 1962. Dr. Solon A. Ellison was appointed the first chairman of the newly-developed Department af Oral Biology which was destined to have a major impact on this School and the profeosion. Originally. this department was to serve as a research bridge between the strong basic medical scie nces in the School of Medicine and the School of Dentist ry. The advancements generated by research and the focus on prevention could never have reached their fullest potential without education in the · broadest sense at all levels from the professional practitioner to the family. "It was necessary to chanjle human behavioral patterns relat1ve to dental caries and periodontal diseases. Students had to be taught to cope with patients' apathy, long standing habits, and lack of knowledge in preventing the prevalent diseases of the oral cavit y. In 1965, Dean English appointed Dr. Grant T. Phipps as chair of the Department of Behavioral Sciences to address this critical component. hese two new concepts were just the begin ning of the vision of tomorrow in dental education. The establishment of oral biology and behavioral sciences as academic disciplines within dentistry obviously required graduate programs which would educate academic clinicians with majors in these new fields. Several years ago. the faculty in the Department of Oral Biology celebrated their ~Oth yea r by having the ir Ph .D . graduates return for a two-day scientific program. There were 20 graduates in attendance and all were members of a university or a scientific ins titute staff in major o ral health initlltz tions worldwide. l u lhe late 60s, the faculty made dramatic changes in the educational program for the professional student. One of the major objectives of the program was to coordinate the basic medical sciences. behavioral sciences, and oral biology with the on-going programs. stressi ng clinical excellence . The D .D .S. program was designed to provide a mastery of clinical skills with emphasis on preventive dentistry. It was also expected that the student would develop behavioral patterns which would encourage critical analysis T "With all the advancements in health care in the last 25 years, no other field has changed more dramatically than dentistry. It has truly become 'dental medicine.' " and problem-solving based on proven scientific merit. As the professional educational program broadened its horizons. so did the expectations of the graduates. Upon graduation, the new dental professionals so ught o ut specialty programs and advanced 8,eneral residencies. Approximately 60 per cent of each graduating class entered programs for additional dental training for periods of from one to three years. With renewed e mph asis on the development of research, graduate opport un ities were created for an M.S. degree with majors in dental matenals. oral sciences or orthodontics, and a Ph.D. with a major in oral biology. The Ph .D. program is the first graduat; program sponsored by any umversuy 10 No rth America and has a gene ral o bjective of educating and training individua~ in-the "biological and molecu lar processes of the oral cavity. The particular goal being to provide the dental academic community with well-trained investigators in biomedical research ... his investment in building a strong T research component has paid handsome dividends. During the 70s and '80s, funding for the faculty grew steadily. One of the first clinical research programs was the NIDRfunded Periodoatal D isease Clinical Research Center under the directorship of Dr. Robert Genco. By !986, the School achieved the seventh position in the nation in total funds distributed by the National Institute of Dental �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Research th rough grants, awards, and research contracts. Then came the biggest breakthrough of all. In 1987, Dr. Michael Levine and his colleagues in the Depanment of Oral Biology received the "dental re~earch institute" award . Recei pt of th iS grant places our School in the number one position nationally in the rank order of institutions receiving extramural funds from the National Institute of Dental Research. This award is a great tribute to Dr. Levine and his research associates and brings a ne':"" dlsUnctlon to our University as we stnve to become one of the top public research universities in the country. This major research effon represents the successful multidisciplinary ant~rac~oos of many members of the Umvers1ty community. I in t~e various armed o r publ ic health serv1ces. The performance of o ur st udents on the National Board of Dental Examinations is usually in the upper quint ile. As new treat ment modali ties and technologies emerge. it is incumbent that our. School pro vide well-planned co urses 10 conunumg dental educatio n for area practitioners. During the past year, over 30 co urses were offered for dentists in Western New York . M ost dental schools now offer advanced dental education prog_rams in the vario us specialti es of denustry. Our faculty provide advanced clinical training in endodontics. oral and maxillofacial -surgery, o nhod o ntics, pedtatnc denustry, penodontics, and prosthodontics. In recent years. the thrust of man y of these cen ificate programs has been to prepa re future t is obvious that the strength of any umversuy umt IS dependent primarily on the quality of the faculty . This School has a rich tradition of providi ng outstanding clinical leaching and academicians in the va rio us specialties by providing expos ure to research service to its students and patients. There are over 50,000 patient visits to was a~arded a train ing grant for couphng the cenificate training in our clinics each year. The strong commitment of our faculty to clinical excellence comes at a nigh price heeause of their heavily scheduled teaching load , which is approximatel y 20 hours/week for an academic year. The concern of our clinical faculty for the teaching programs can best be summed up by statements made by outside reviewers: ...The committee was impressed with the facult y's commitment, the pride in doing a ~ood jOb of teaching, dedication, enthustasm, mterest, and responsiveness to fulfilling tbe educational needs of students. Many clinical science faculty must be commended for their sincere dedication to teaching which, in many instances , bas been achieved at the expense of individual aCademic achievement. In fact , a number of faculty extend themselves beyond that which is generally expected of full-time faculty members by any measure." 2 We are fonunate also to have 2 diverse faculty, many of whom received their training in other schools and some with training in Europe, the Middle East, and Far East who bring added depth and dimension to our academic programs. entral to every facet of the School's program is the recognition that the primary mission is the education and training of the professional dentiSt. Students apply to this Scliool heeause of its reputation and / or its favorable tuition. In the mid 70s, there were over 2000 applicants for an entering class size of 87 students. The entering class proflle during these years indicated a GPA range of 3.03 to 3.34, a science GPA range of 2.97 to 3.30, and OATs of 6 and 6. For the entering class of 1988, there were over 400 applicants for an entering class of 80 students. The entering class profile for the class of '88 is a G PA of 3.0, a science GPA of 2.81 , and OATs of 5 and 5. In recent years, there has been a significant drop nationally in the number of baocalaureate graduates applying for admission to all of the bealth professional schools heeause of the extremely high cost of these pro~, the long time required to attam a degree, and fears of an oversupply of health professionals. Fortunately, our applicant status is somewhat better than· that occurring at the national level. After receiving the D. D.S . degree, about 40 per cent of our tr"aduates go immediately into private practice, most -in association with established practitioners in New York State. The remainder receive advanced dental education, either in specialty areas, in general practice residency p~ogra'!15, or C methodology. In the early 70s. Dr. Roben Genco periodontics with a Ph.

Specialty students in endodontics, fi xed prosthodontics, removable prosthodontics, oral and maxiJiofaci.al surgery are suppo rted by the institut ionaJ dentist / scientist award or by their own physician j scientist awards. In addition to the specialty ccnificate programs. many of our faculty have reside ncy training programs in affiliated hospitals. These include pediatric dentistry chaired by Dr. Joseph Bernat at The Children 's Hospital, general practice residencies by Dr. Alan Drinnan at The Buffalo General Hospital, Erie County Medical Center, Dr. Stuan Fischman, director, and maxillofacial prosthodontics at Roswell Park Memorial Institute headed by Dr. Norman Schaaf. not her pioneering program developed in Buffalo has proved to be an impon ant step in bwlding the School's tnternational reputatio n. By the early 1960s, many highly qualified dentists had fled their native lands in A response to various forms of economic, religious or governmental oppression and relocated in the United States. Because they were not graduates of a Nonh American dental school, they found no opponunities to practice. Dr. Ernest Hausmann formulated a plan for admitting qualified foreign graduates after completing a stringen t evaluat ion process that included passing Pan I of the National Board of Dental Examiners. This program. now administered by Dr. Sait Seyrek , continues to provide many dentists with the opponumty for a fresh stan in the country of their choice. Funher enhancin11the School's traditi on of international cooperation are the "sister school ... relationships we maintain with several foreign institutions for the purpose· of exchanging facult y, students, and knowledge of dental education and research. These schools include the School of Dentistry, Asahi University, Japan; The Institute of Stomatology in Warsaw, Poland ; The School of Dental Medicine, Tel-Aviv, Israel; The Faculties of Dentistry, Universities of Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile: The School of Dentistry, Panama, ll)ld the School. of Dentistry, P!'raguay. A . Each year the School of Dental Med icine receives millions of dollars in externally sponsored research funding, representing multidisciplinary interactions of many members of the University community. stand ing committee of the School, the Cultural Exchange Committee, chaired by Dr. Paul Mashimo, monitors our involvement with these and other instituti o ns. specialty treatment modalities and for treatment of patients with special conditions, chronic illnesses, and highly conta~ous diseases." The goals of this Jrut!aUve are to: ..establis h a site fo r qualified regio nal practitioners to provide th eir patients with more advanced treatment proced ures at substantially lower cost compared to hos pital ambulatory care centers; provide realistic clinical learning experiences fo r pre- and postdoctoral st udents by observing and assisting private practitioners in the tertiary dental care centers~ train practitioners in non~specialty areas, and provide a regional site to treat patients with With ahe move in t o the new Squirr hi&hl~ ~o nta.sious dise&.SeS. e .g. HaJJ in 1986. the School has sla te-of- the-an facili ties offering a centralized instrument sterilization operation. new radiologic imaging systems, and a center for laser utiJization. In spacious operatories designed to closely <luplicate the equipment of a modem den tal office, our founh year st udents are taught in a practice simulation environment . 0 nee the move into Squire H aJJ was completed, faculty attention turned to th e key academic issues evolving from the advancements in o ral health care. The "Strategic Planning and Policy Committee" of the School reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of the School and developed a strategic plan for future changes.> After lengthy discussions with every department, the faculty agreed to proceed with a threetrack program that will und oubtedly bri ng major changes in dental education . The first ini tiative will be l he Special Major Option (SMO), creating an eight-year predoctoral program combining B.S. and D.D.S. degrees with the added benefit of a year of advanced general den tistry experience. This program is designed to identify and recruit students ear ly and to provide trai nin~ in a well ~balan ced program of baste and clinicaJ research and practice. The D.D.S. degree will be conferred upon the completion ·or the advanced general dentistry program. The second initiative of the strategic plan will "establ ish a program fo r fac ult y and student enrichment wi th a strong emphasis on plinical research and technology transfer." The · objectives of this i ~t ia tive are to herpes. hepauus and AIDS ."' These proposals recognize that the fut ure need for more broadly competent practitio ners and a cadre of clinician-scientists will require a more focused, multidimensional educational experience than current dental curricula provide. While allowing for a high degree of flexibility, all three initiatives complement each other effectively to achieve our School's staled mission of educating broad-based practitioners and clinician-scientists who will be at the leading edge of our profession. Many of these initiatives will also involve members of other schools and depanments within the University, just as the Council planned it in 1892. A s the University moves ahead with its plan to be one of the top public research universities, the faculty of the School of Dental Medicine is ready to play its role. The faculty's ability to attract significant funding for major research projects will, in tum, bring new opponunities for all of us in the University and .the community. With a long tnd distinguished history as a pioneer inJ iental education, the School of Dental Medicine is IH!iquely positioned to set new standards of excellence in academic, clinical, and rese~ch programs that will anticipate til!: needs of the next century. AU of the ingredients of excellence are in place: a dedicated faculty and staff of recognized quality, high caliber students, an ade<juate patient pool, outstanding facilities, supponive alumni, and the total commitment of the University administration to helping the School be, qwte simply, the best. o "expose predoctoral students to resear_ch and train ing in the scientific method and use of computer information systems; increase sponsored research funding for clinical research st udies, and increase the number of D.D.S./ Ph.D. graduates with clin ical research expenise .:'~ The third initiative will "create an adjunct regional oral healtll care center for continuing de.nlal education in non - 'G~es.

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

The group sponsors lectures, graduate courses. and dissertations in the field , and will host the annual meeting of the Semiotics Society of America in 1989. This will be t he second time Buffalo has served as host city for the c\ I!Ot, which was a ..great success " hen: '" 1982.

It is something like communication. but it encompasses far more . Garvin said . -se miotics covers a multitude of si ns." he said . .. It's more than just mass media and rh eto ric. It also involves literary systems and codes of understanding. In fact , there arc four subdivisions of tht field : theoretical and philosophical semiot K:s. lltcrar)' semiotics. visual semiotics. 3Hd behavioral semiotics. "We represent a field of learning, rather than a program. institute, or center ... There are research centers in semiotics at Indiana, Brown, and the University of Colorado, but UB only has a graduate group in this fteld. Semiotics is far from being a new field , said Garvin . Even St. Augustine had a "theory of the sign." H is interest is carried on today through the work of such modem philosophers as Jacqu es Derrida and through the graduate group here. Members' research is financed mainly through individual Guggenheim fellowships and individual grants, rather than through group research projects. Garvin said. In the humanities, he explai ned . individual research is more common than group research . In addition, funding for humanities research is usually "hard to come by." When money is available, semiotics research yields some interesting results. For example . Garvin recently did a st udy on "Language as an Identity Symbol." People throughout the world identify strongly with their national language. he said. French-speaking Canadians, he found, are no exception. They identify themselves with the French language and culture. Yet in interviews with residents of St Catherines and Buffalo, Garvin determined that Americans and Englishspeaking Canadians don\ view English as a symbol of their identity. This has important implications for advertisers, politicians, and others concerned with appealing to a se nse of national identity. n addition to discu ssing the research of individual members, the g roup spo n sors student exchanges .

It was less than two year.; ago that Weiss walked into then-Spectrum editor Brad Pick's office and asked for a job as a reporter. It was less than a year ago that Weiss was named assistant sports editor. And it was less than six months ago that he became the SpectrumS sports editor. Now the native of Manhattan has come full circle and is the editor of the thrice-weekly, student-run newspaper. Forget the fact that Weiss. a sophomore, is the youngest to ever reach the position or that he has only had one full year of writing . and editing experience. The bollom bne IS that WeiSS IS a confident, mature. and enthusiastic person who is looiUng forward to his new duties. - U eiss, who is working on a special W major in ·journalism, said be has always loved to write.

"That really helped me learn a lot of things about both writing and editing." Weiss readily admits that he may not have all the experience necessary for taking on his new job.

"The paper has ba:n on tbe upswing for tbe past two yr:ars." said Weiss. "Brad Pick aod (current editor) Ken Lovett did a great job. 1be paper has a good reputation now aod an excellent quality of writing." . .

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

Bingham ton, o ne of o ur sister campuses, made a big point of saying they have more of these awards than any ot ber SUNY campus . I think that kind of claim comes from th e number of nominations the y put forward rather than th at they have more outstanding fac ult y." Some campuses are more diligent in their nominations , Rising said, even to the point wbere theyll subm it a nomination for the same professor year after year in the hopes th at the professor will even tu ally be named to a distinguished professorship. ... We turned down a nominati on last year that was the fourth from o ne department at a college and it was clearly an "it's your tum ' kind of nomination," he said. "The message is that these things are being awarded to the people who put fort b the nominations." Risi ng said (..,t year bis committee received about 10 nominations for the distinguisbed teaching professorships; abo ut half were chosen for the award. He also took issue with the SUNY stipulation that potential distinguished teaching professors spend at least half of their time teaching undergraduates. Teachong, os teachmg, he said, whether the faculty member teaches graduates o r undergraduates. T Mllgrom Kelter here are visiblity problems with the awards as well , Rising added which may stem in part from the fact that winners announoed often after scbool lets out for the summer. "There are a great mtU.y faculty who _ never bear about the awards. I had a • little feeling that they waited until everybody was gone, then sneaked it in " Rising said, joking about his ow'n award. o are Rlalng �May 5, 1988 Volume 19, No. 27 Three divers emerge from 8-day test Distinguished Professor ~ 1n recognize ~·tn: m m the achievement of fame and field as a result of origin"'! co nt ributions.

Agee returned to promote his latest book, On the Run, which chronicles his life si nce leaving the C IA. Agee, who raised the ire of many C IA people with his first book Inside the Agency: CIA Diary ( 1974), detailing his personal participa ti o n in CIA o per atio ns in Ecuador , sa id those words from Bush must mean he is d oi ng so meth ing right. uring his two hour-pius lecture and question-and-answer period. Agee, who served as an agent from 19571969, described his career in the CIA, the agency's history, and its methods of undermining foreign governments. He a lso talked about his problems gelling back int o the Uni ted States. " I stayed away from here because I thought there was a secret indictment against me," said Agee. ··sut no action has been take n so far ... That's not to say it's been easy for him to come back to the S tates, though . Agee was forced to get a passport from his .. fri end s in the Nicaraguan government" and then en ter the coun try through Canada in order to sidestep American restrictions on his travel here. That aside, Agee began chronicling "We've all heard Reagan say how he wan ts to restore democracy in Nicaragua," he said . "W hat democracy does he want to restore? The o ne with the military dictatorship of (Anastasio) Somo<a? Or t he o ne when U .S. Marines controlled the country'? " I say God save Nicaraguc from restoration of democracy by the Uni ted States." Agee then said that si nce the C IA is not r~ally involved in restoring democracy, it must conduct covert activities in order to maintain the U.S. Constitution - a document Agee claims discriminates agai nst 90 per cen t of the population. , .. The Consti tution wrote out over 90 per cent of the population,- claimed Agee. "It excluded women, non-land own ing men, Nat ive A mericans. blacks - o nl y those who owned the country were allowed to participate in the political process . " I tbink th e govern men t is still controlled by t he eli tists who wrote the Constituti on 200 years ago, " he added . "It st ill protects the interests of th ose who own the country.

"That 's Washington Ja rgon for covert action. "Some of these covert actions incl uded paramilitary activities, which is what is g~ing on right now with the Con t ra.s in Nicaragua.... said Agee . .. Others were called liaison activities ... Liaison activities are when the C IA sets up ano ther country 's intelligence agency and then uses it to get the information that the CIA needs. .. We've done this sort of thing in a number of places, like Iran, South Korea, and Greece," said Agee. "'I'm sure the CIA has been wor king wi th (EI Salvador's President) Duarte's security forces - which are the sa me th ing, and have the sa me members. as the death sq uads. The CIA has probably trained and eq uipped them." He added that he feels the liaison activities are the .. nastiest" ones th e C IA employs as they involve assassinations. A D political murders. and tortures . ... So, we have to ask ourselves, 'Why does the U.S . do this?,'" said Agee. both his history in and the overall development of the CIA. "The C IA was formed because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor," said Agee. "The government .needed . an agency which could gat her mformatton so the possibility of another sneak attack co uld be avoided. "The U.S. needs a professio nal inte lligence gat hering agency," added the Notre Dame graduate . "But 11 should be used to kee p peace, not launch terrorist wars like it has done under the Reagan Administration ... As he told about his years in the Agency, Agee described how widespread CIA activities were in Central America. whe re he was based . ..

Agee added that journalists _in foreign co untri es were also substd1zed by the CIA, as well as \ario us. TV and radio stations and their employees. "Money makes it all work." he said. .. Our job was to maint ain stabili~y in those countries so that trans national American companies could come in... Once stability was bro ught to an area, th e C IA would then compile an ...enemies list" of leading op position members to the government. Agee charged. The list , which was constant ly updated . p rovided the agency with information such as home addresses. famil y data, phone numbers, and places the person co uld be found at certain times. so the governmen t 's intelligence agenc y could keep tabs o n its opposiuon . ~ gee then lit into the Reagan Adm iniStration for purposely not correcting the drug problem .

Agee said he suppons the Russian occ upation of Afghan istan beca use without the Russians there would be a terrible "blood-leu ing" a mong rival rebel factions. When asked why he thinks the A merican public, as a whole, doesn) support Soviet actions in Afghanistan. Agee res ponded, "The United States is ta ught to like a nyo ne who kills a Russian ... He also said he believes the recent flak surrou nding Panamanian stro ngman Manuel Noriega revolves not arou nd drugs - as has been claimed in the med ia - but aro und the U.S.'s a!lempts to get the Panama Canal Treaty revoked before it goes into effect in 1999. " If the Republicans a re able to do that, it will be the worst thing to happen to our Ce ntral American po licy this century," predicted Agee.

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

Page2 State University of New York Budget puzzle almost complete Outlook mixed as 1988-89 spending plan takes shape By ANN WH ITCHER nder the State budget for fiscal 1988-89, passed by the Legislature this week, UB scores some wins and some notable losses. The University had requested a total of $6.5 million for the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research, President Sample told the University Council Thursday. "We were seeking matching funds for year two and year three of the contract. Four million dollars would come from the deficiency budget for 1987-88. Another $2.5 million would come from the 1988-89 executive budget." U At this point, Sample said, it looks as if "we will gel $1.5 million from the deficiency budget and $2.5 million from the executive budget." Sample is "optimistic" that the $2.5 million shortfall will be restored . He ts also pleased that the $2.5 million already provided is apparently bemg included in the Science and Technology budget, rather than being lumped together with SUNY monies. The Umversity had lobbied hard for lhts inclusion. • Though he is "deeply concerned" about the center's future, Sample wd ..everyone in the State underst~s that this is not a SUNY -Buffalo project. It is a State of New York project. Certainly, we've had a lot of encouragement that we will get the (extra) $2.5 million either in this budget, when the full numbers are revealed . or as part of a supplemental budget that ma y be adopted in June. I'm just saying that somewhere along the line . we. have to get that S2.5 million. "It would be a terrible, terrible mistake for the State to back away from this project. This is the State's only big win in big science"' in recent years. Sample said. The budget provides no funding for teaching hospital support, something U B had identified as its second biggest goal in the recent lobbying effort . According to SUNY, there were million in needed funds that were not addressed by the Governor's original executive budget proposal. This figure included a S6 million restoration for personal services (PSR) fund~36 . 5 ing. It also included monies for OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) , general equipment replacement. a technology mostly computer upgrade, and utilities. Utilities, said Sample, are SUNY's " black hole." Requested were $2.5 million for 1987-88 utilities and $14 million for the 1988-89 budget. The legislature provided only S8 million of the $36 million left out of the governor's initial proposal. "If that whole S8 million goes into utilities, then we have a big problem," said Sample. " If, on the other hand , SUNY spreads the money around for PSR and • See Buclgol, page 2 �Aprtl 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 UBF ends its agreement with Parcel B developer By SUE WUETCHER T he UBF Corporation has terminated its agreement with W.

Barberg, chief executive officer of Barberg & Associates, failed to acquire financing for the project under terms of the agreement, and also failed to obtain a franchise for the hotel, said Joseph J .

At that time the corporatton dropped the requirement that Barbcrg acquarc an Embassy Suites franchise . The agreement called for construetion to begin no later than May I. 1988 and be completed no later than Dec. 31, 1989.

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

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

IHIIfl$1 his is a persC!nal stateme~t. made solely m my capac11y as a member of the 8 La" T School facuhy . No other member of the facultv was asked or permitted tO join m the statement. and no other person is responsible fo r its con tent s or opinions. I did not seek the permission of anyone to distribute it. Recent newspaper items about a ''Statement" by the UB Law School faculty have not been long on facts. Facts. of course. would only hamper some of those who have been issuing "condemnations- of the faculty Statement. And headlines and editorials are hampered if a situation calls for more than two or three catchy sentences. But fhe disrortions, deliberate and other- wise, can be identified only by setting forth the details of events occurring sin~ January of 1987. Summary statements. referrring to .. ugly incidents ... sanitize matters too much and permit those who desire to distort to create whole cloth from patches ripped from the whole. During February through April 1987 , anonymous , written note" were placed in the mailboxes of at least four female law students. Such notes were reported to have bec:n placed in several other female student mailboxes, but I had no verification in the form of copies of the statements. (I was dean of the Law School at the time. but have not been sin~ De~mber 3/ , 1987.) There are more than 700 open boxes on a wall. in an unsecured room. which serves as student mailboxes. A list of st udents is on the wall by the boxes, with each student's box identified by a numtxr. One such anonymous note began (capitals, spelling and underlining as in the note): "you're voted, and U B's choi~ for FRUIT of the Month ," "it's official," and included further slurs, saying, for example, the person .. is an absolute 'sucker' for blond wrestlers (cum clean, what were you two really doing that night)," the person "looks like Charles Laughton m drag," and much more similar slime. Another of the notes stated that a woman's place is .. work.in' for her man," and that .. Feminists cannot accept this reality because they have not been able to achieve it yet feminism is a sou r grapes attitude, or more likely a crutch for not being able to achieve th is reality." And another statement included the observation that .. if's about time feminists ove rcome their hangups and accept it, .. i.e., that their place is .. under" a man . Another add ressed the target as "bitch" and advised her to stop talking in class. Keep in mind that these were not anonymous bandbiUs, stating general "principles," handed out in the hallways; these were not anonymous statements posted on a wall. They were not anonymous slingers stuffed in all open boxes. They were anonymous, wntten notes placed in less than a halfdozen mailboxes of more than 700 o pen mailboxes. and directed to the specific students. By mid-April one of the female students fou nd such a written, anonymous note in her mailbox. along with a small teddy bear. approximately 7 inches long, with the head ripped ofT and red nail polish dabbed in the nee~ area of the toy. At this point I authorized a request that Universi ty security offi~rs be called in to investigate the matter. Security was unable to get any fingerprints or discover any other leads as to the identity of the perpetrator. Also. in mid-April, one of the female students found one of the written anonnymous notes in her mailbox. along with pieces of dog excre ment wrapped in foil. That was not the first appearance of such a statement in that student 's mailbox . Indeed, since that time. that same female student has had the tire on her car slashed in a school parking lot. That, too. was reported to Public Safety. eep in mind the facts: these anonymous, written notes were placed K in the open mailboxes of less than a half-<lozen of more than 700 students. Most of the female students receiving these "communications"' were in the first-year class. Toward the end of the spring /987 semester, after we had notified Public Safety, I went before a meeting of the three first-year sections. in a classroom, and was very specific in describing what had been happening; and I stated, in no uncertain terms. that it was unacceptable cond uct and investigation was under way. I did not hesitate to say tbat if I could successfully iden tify any student responsible for such cond uct , I would see that the character committee of whatever bar they sought admission to would be informed. Shortly after that, I was informed of graffiti on a toilet stall in the men's toilet, on the second floor of O'Brian. This example of "free speec h" had been scrawled : .. To many niggers in the law school." It was appropriate that the word "too" was misspelled by the ignorant dolt who ..communicated"' the .. message ... I immediately notified maintenance so that the slur could be removed . During that spring semester of 1987 , si milar racially derogatory statements were written on the desk area and rolldown movie screen hanging from the ~iling in classroom 107. When informed, I immediately requested mamtenance to remove the graffiti from the desk and render the scree n inoperable. Later, wo rd s attributing lesbian tendencies to a named female student were written on the wall, next to a pay telephone in the Law School bookstore area in O'Brian. The wot'ds were painted over. The next day , the words were written again, in the same spot. Again. the words were painted over There was a regular. monthly facult} meeting of the Law School facult v on May I 5, 1987 . The Minutes of thill meeting state: Tht> Dean reponed on a number of incidents of anti-gay and anti-feminist harassm~nt which haw occurred since January and of his atensi\Je effons to investigate these anonymous acts. as well as to discourage their recurrence. A recommendation was then made from tM floor tluzt t~ firstyear orientation committu s~cif­ ica/ly focus on this is.na. A committ« of volunteers• • •was then formed to draft a faculty statement c:ondrmnin& tbis harassment and the attitudes givto it. and making clear LoKI School's intention to purs~ all appropriate sanctions against studencs found to be responsible for such acts in the fwure. I have ad ded the emphasis in the above quotation from the Minutes . in'c rise the A t the beginning of the fall semester 1988, at a faculty meeting, the faculty die adopt a "Faculty Statemen t Regardi ng Intellectual Freedom, Toleran~. and Prohibited Harassment. " There are five paragraphs in the Statement, consisting of more than 50 lines. It was not a short, punchy, glib statement, readily adaptable to headlines and one-liner throw-aways. The first paragraph of that statement observes: "Every intellectual communlly worthy of the name thrives on sha rp "Media reports on a Statement by the Law faculty,tlave not been long on facts. Facts, of course, would only hamper some of these critics . ... " and heated controversy - on the free and full expression of opposing ideas and values; on impassioned arguments for, and equally passionate argument5 against." The fourth paragraph of that Statement begins: "We <Jote wtth dtsmay recent acts ofluuassmtnt, intimidation. and assault against persons of color and other groups wbicb have taken �April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 The op1n10ns expressed 1n "Vtewpotnts " p1eces are those of the writers and not necessarily those of the Reporter We welcome your comments. 1 place on campuses around the country, National Lawyers Guild and of the Federalists (Mr. Jipping·s organization. representing his political views). Both share offices with other student o rganiz.ations. The range of organizations includes a legal fraternity and a group of law students as Parents. Indeed . last yea r, when, because of the space crunch, it was necessary to reduce the number of offices allocated to student organiz.ations and further consolidate them, I had a meeting with representatives from all of the organizations and offered my suggestions for new pairing. includi ng the possibilit y that the National La\lorytrs G uild and the Federalists might share an office. Neither group appreciated my h11moc. and opted for other co-tenant:a. Professor Michaels decries that ·~there is not one conservative on the Law School faculty." My. my. does he really believe in .. quotas"'? He should and which have often gone far beyond the bounds of constitutionally protected speech .... It continues: Concern regarding such inappropriate and often outrageous behavior compels the faculty to add a clear and specific warning concerninx any such acts 1hat may occur in this school. It is the pol· iC}• of this LAw School t' rake strong and immediatt steps . against any and all such "!ha\11or. 1he means of doing so wr/1 always be informed by the facul· tyS strong commitment to the requi"ments of d~ procen but will not be limited solely to the use of ordinary UniYusity disciplinary procedures. There follows immediately, a reference to character and fitness committees which stand as a bar to admission to practice. I have added the emphasis in the above quotes. It war in th~ pr~ceding paragraph, the third paragraph. before the reference to "acts" and sanctions, that one finds the statement about .. remarks .. and the faculty readiness to "openly condemn n ... racist , sexist. homophobic and anti-lesbian, ageist and ethnically derogatory statements, as well as other remarks based on prejudice and groups stereotype." Following the adoption of that Statement by the facult y. it was posted at the Law School and circulated to the Law School community. Shortly after· wards, I was interviewed by the · tw student newspaper, The Opinion. and emphasized that the specter of "sane· tions" was directed to acts of the type which had been widely publicized tn the Law School community since the spring of 1987. No one in the Law School community could have been reasonably unaware of the type of incidents which had occurred during the spring. and which I specifically described to the first-year class in a general meeting held for that purpose. I stress that the faculty of the Law School did not issue a two-sente nce statement of abstract policy, a manifesto for distribution generally to th e world. The Statement of the faculty was part and parcel of specific developments within the Law School community: it was a message to the members of that community, all of whom should . have been aware of the incidents; and 11 was a message directed specifically to those specific developments. That is the conrext of the adoptton by the Law School faculty of a "Statement Regardtng Intellectual Freedom, Tolerance. and Prohibited Harassment." '· N ow comes Thomas L. Jipping and his campaign to save the Ftnt .Amendment from Law School destruc· tion. Mr. J ipping was a student in the Law School during the time of these events. He is too smart a lawyer not to know better, but he rips parts of the faculty Statement out of context and submits an extended argument cast in terms of "content" regulation and "chill· ingn of exP.ression. But I will not dignify Mr. Jipping's extended argument with analysis and response, because I do not believe it is made in good faith as a First Amendment concern. Mr. Jipping's agenda is mon: accurately suggested, 1 believe, in the quote attributed to him by the Buf· falo News. 4 11 7/ 88. page 81 : "While I've been here [i.e .. the Law School]. I've encountered a number of things called racist and sexist that normal people would nol have labeled as rac1 st or sexist."' There you have it. Who are "normal" people? Why, people who agree with Mr. Jipping. This was apparent when he came to my office to raise the issue. early in December of 1987, and talked of bemg ··chilled·· tn his expression while a student. I submit that the appearance of the Statement did not increase Mr. lip· ping's imagined oppressior:t. ~nd ~ts deletion would not dent h1s 1mag1ned .. chill ... Debating the Statement as a First Amendment issue is a smoke screen. Mr. Jipping appears to resent the fact that his political views were not shared by a majority of students or faculty at the Law School. Now he wants to create the impression that persons with his political views risk being -chilled "' into not expressing such views, or being punished in grades for a course because of expressing such views. Mr. Jipping·s agenda has been made clear in the follow-up on his argument by hi s cohorts in later issues of 1he Opinion. . . . It is no accident that Mr. J1ppmg 1s quickly joined in his assa ult by Profes· sor Michaels. The Buffalo News. 4/ 19/ 88, presents us with Professor Michaels giving his vin tage perfor· mance as the hovering ghost of the late Senator J oe McCarthy. He is referred to as a professor of .. hi~tory. and communications" at the Umverslty. More accurately, that should be .. miscommunications ... In his best McCarthyite style, he refers to "an office of the National Lawyers Gutld at the UB Law School." which "taxpayers should know .. about . He doesn't know if it is a .. Communist front, .. but .. some say that it is ... Facts are not Professor Michaels' strong suit. (And it is not likely anyone would mistake him for a professor of ethics.) ore than a dozen law student organizations in the Law School share several offices, two or three to an office, mostly three. Two of those student organizations are chapters of the M "It is mindless sophistry to suggest that the anonymous letters were not intended to intimidate ... intended to harass ... intended to do harm. clear that \lollh Mr l1pping. lest he not be ··normal." More 1mponamly. Professor Michaels Simply docs not knov. v.hat he is talking about. Or v.orse. he doesn't care \It hat the facts arc and "'11rully says what serves his purposes . I won't bmher to mention the rest of h1s fiction. but s1mply recall thai dramatic moment at the Army-McCarth) hearIngs. when Senator McCarthy was asked. ''have you no honor. s1r?"' \'or arc l1pp1ng and M~ehacls helped by be1ng JOmcd on their brooms11ck by Secrctarv Benne tt. nu• Buffalo Ne.,..·s. 4 17 page B I. Secretary 8ennell. as he ha!l repeatedly demonstrated, Simply has a big mouth and small regard for truth. It is a bald-fac:td . outright lie to characterize t his law faculty as a mon olithic. politicized group. As I empha· sized in several statements to alumni, when I was dean. this law faculty is a diverse group. representing a range of vi ewpoints both in their political views and their views about legal education . But the point of all this is that the so-called protest about violation of First Amendment principles is only a cove r for a desire to attack and suppress the political views some Jaw faculty a nd some law SlUdents may have expressed. and which Mr. lipping, Mr. Michaels. and Secretary Bennett strongly disagree with. gs: B ut . then, putting aside the lippingMichaels-Be nnett attacks designed to promote politicaJ viewpoints. what of David Jay. who is quoted by the Spectrum, 4/ 15 / 88. page 8. as sayi ng "I speak on behalf of the NYCLU." and quoted in The Buffalo News, 4/ 17 / 88 , page 81, as saying: "The faculty of the Law School went overboard. Anyone has a right to be a fool and be nasty, sexist, or racist. Free speech means we have to put up with these things."" Simple-minded sophistry. I repeat, simple-minded sophistry. Anonymous notes directed to specific individuals. and placed in less than a half~oz.en student mailboxes out of more than 700? Dog excrement'? Is it that. after aJI, dog excrement, at least when neatly wrapped in foil , is j ust a form of symbolic speech. like armbands and the like? It is mindless sophistry to suggest that the anonymous letters which triggered the faculty Statement were not intended to intimidate .. .intended to harass .. .intended to do harm . As I have stated, these were not anonymous statements of perspectives. however vile, in handbills or posters directed to all the world . This was no discourse. And it docs not take much knowledge of First Amendment law to know that context is critical in judging whether there is ··contc.~nt·· regulation. David Jay asserts the law faculty .. went overboard." as quoted above, and in the Spectrum he IS quoted as saying: .. 'swift condemnation' to my mind means academic sancti on." He was not unaware of the contex t, he had the entire statement for examinati on; a nd in drawing that conclusion - in spite of the next paragraph of the statement which is explicity directed to sanctions - David Jay "'went overboard "' with his knee-jerk reaction. My dictionary provides two options for ...condemn": to express strong disapproval of.- and .. to pronounce guilty . to convict." But, of course. Mr. Jay needed the second o ption. in disregard of the context of the Statement and the structure of the paragraphs, in order to bolster his knee-jerk reaction . M r. Jay may "speak for the: ' ' YCI l ·.··but he does not speak for me.· ( l h•n·e been teachmg constJ IUIJona/ Ia " fur 35 \ears). and I will not be dcpri\Cd of m~ First Amendment•nght.. 10 .. i.:undcmn·· ("exprcs~ ~t r ong dJsap· pro \ aJ of"") 1he 1gnorant and 'de graf· fill ··To(o J many m~r~ 1n the Ia" ~chou!.·· C\'en when it ·~ ··po<ited'" in the todct. for all the world to sec as a pan of Mr Ja\ \ F1 rst Amendment .. discour~c .. (Change that to approximately fift) per cent oi the world: the toilet is not a unasex toilet.) Alongside David Jay, stands Nat Hen toff. who has pronounced for the nation. in The Washington Post . 4 9 88. page A25 . that "The First Amendment has been suspended by .. the UB Law School faculty. When Mr. Hent off spoke to me on the telephone, I referred him to the current administrati o n for comme nts, excep t that I was willing 10 describe for him, the eve nts of the spring of 1987 which triggered the faculty Statement. His response? He cou ld see no difference between the parade in Skokie and the several anonymous notes. directed specifically to several female students, and placed on ly in those several mailboxes: I emphasize. again, this was not an instance of a pamphlet being put in all open boxes. or even randomly in some. Any person who cannot see the difference in First Amendment law between those two things, is simply not competent to make a judgment about -whether the First Amendment has been suspended. Finally, I rnight add that by the fall of 1987, there was no repetition of the events of the spri ng of 1987. I will not be so bold as to assert that there was a causal connection between my action as dean and the faculty Statement. However. I am confident that it will now be more likely that such despicable events will occur again , given the encouragement from the cheering section of . Jipping-Michaels·Jay-Hentoff. I do not include Mr. Bennett in the cheering section, because he will be long gone, down the road a .piece. sha.king his pom-poms at his next .. discovered .. fictional threat to the safety of our society. 0 �April 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 THURSDAY. 28 NEUROLOGY PROFESSOR ROUNDStl • Dent L•brarv.

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

Right wing blamed for stigmatizing AIDS victims "H By DAVID M. SNYDERMAN ow a disease is used metaphoricall y can imply a moral or social judgment about the individual with lh at disease," said UB Professor Norman Solkoff in a talk Tuesday. ~The AIDS patient is said to be suffenng from the wages of sin and moral pollution." Such statements can have detr imental effect on the patient's morale and self~teem , Solkoff said . . Solkoff, a psychologist who teaches •n the Depanment of Psychiatry. was prese nting a lecture on "AIDS as Metaphor. .. He applied concepts originally developed by Susan Sontag in her book Illness as M~laphor. Sontag examined the effect of stereotypes of cancer and tuberculosis on the course of the diseases. According to Sontag. society places a sug ma on victims of certain diseaseS, such as cancer. In her view, society places a burden of guilt on the patient by making disease a metaphor for evil. Solkoff said certain stigmas associated with AIDS are due to alti tudes loward the two groups most likely lo co ntact it: homosexual male s and in travenous drug users. According to a definit io n Solkoff uses, a stigma is a " bodil y si n destgncd lo expose something unusual and . bad about the moral status of an mdtv•d-' ual. ·· Solkoff sees th e right wing as pro p aga t ing th is stig ma i n AIDS patients, its focus being "s in or 1mmorality. ·· He continued : "The si n of the homosexual (is) a stale of being, the si nfulness o f hom osexual behavior, the immorality of sexual overindulgence or promiscuity, or the sin of one's inability to control addictive beha viors . .. Because of the anti-gay nature of the "straight" societ y, aggravated by the A IDS epidemic. said Solkoff. man y gay people choose to pass as heterosexuals. "It may very well be a stratel!y for survival ," Solkoff sa1d , noting antihomosex ual actio ns in recent years. Sometimes these actions are cloaked in such a way as to appear medicall y or politically valid. as in the refusal of hospitals to treat AI OS patients by claiming a lack of hospital beds. Solkoff also pointed to the eviction from their apartments of homosexuals and ph ysicians who treat AIDS . All of these are claimed to be means of preventing disease infection, but to 'r.he homosexual community they are .. homophobic" attempts at persecuting gay people. he stig mas that AI OS patients experience hinder the treatment of the disease . Solkoff said he agreed "with Sontag's concern with the unfair- .. ness to a person already burdened by T the ph ysical sufferi ng of a disease to have t he added load o f the socie ty's myths, fears, and delu sio ns abo ut the d isease .... Also . the diseas( is no lo nger mere ly a malle r of health . "A IDS has polar- "AIDS has polarized people into politiaal camps, rather than fostering discussion of ho w to cure it & heir: its victims." ized individuals into cam ps related to political, social, and religious orientations:· rather than fostering d iscussions of ways to cure the disease and help its victims . "Because A IDS has become so politi cized. it may very well be that it took us a longer time to recognize the S(riousness of the disease, ... ..said Solkoff. He compared the ignorance of the general public about AIDS with the ignorance that once surrounded sy philis. In short. the fact that AIDS is a political issue has impeded the treatment of and research int o the d isease. The st igmas, stereotypes, and images associated with AIDS als o end up huning the victims' morale. .. Escalation in the use of unsavory imagery has been reinforced by the anitude s of Christian fundamentalists . conservative Catholics, and onhodox Je ws toward the high risk groups, especially homosexuals who are viewed by the assemblages as engaging in unnaturaL si nful activities ... uberculosis is a diseast: that was T often glorified in the literature, poetry. a nd social outlooks of the last century. according to Sontag. Tuberculosis is a disease of the lungs, whereas cancer can be anywhere in the body. Even so. "lung cancer is fell to be less shameful than rectal cancer, " in Sontag 's view. Likewise with AIDS. said Solkoff. Because of the way it is con t racted and its association with other sexually lransmil!ed diseases, AIDS is a disease that people are ashamed to have, he stated . The lack of co ncern for AIDS victims disheanens Solkoff. He said: "The AI OS epidemic is telling us some im portant things about ourselves. (O ur) co mp assion is reserved for those who are stgnificantly like we are and not for those who have become pan of the margins of society." 0 �April 28, 1988 Volume 19, No. 26 Political issues may block NIH funding, Knox says By CONNIE OSWAL D STOFKO T he National Heal!h ( l IH ) m o nev in Institutes of ne ed more "to take advaniage of the new op poro rder tunities that mcdJcal scie nce is making po ssi bl e ." but iss ues such as fetal resea rc h may beco me stumbling blocks for getting that funding. said Franklyn G. Knox believes. Kn ox, dean of the Ma yo Medical School and a graduate of both the pharmacy and medical schools at UB, made the co mments last week during his Bristol Myers lecture series here. As presiden t of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Kn ox was scheduled to testify yesterda y during Congressional hear· ings on the National Institutes of Health ( I H) budget. sing fetal tissue for research and therapy is a difficult poli t ical issue that may hamper the fund ing quest. Kno x explained . .. People who ha ve str o ng views in those areas may ti e up the larger picture, .. he noted . ''The use of fetal tissue has so me ve rv important researc h and therapeut iC im pl ica tions at th is poi nt in time. The political difficult y has to do with tissue that might be th e product of an abor· tion. Peo ple wh o a re not in favor of abort1on are not 1n fa\'o r of fetal resea rch . "Certain controls are important. but a complete ban o n fetal research is not in the public's interes t. " Fetal ti ss ue has traditionall v been used m the general area of tox[cology. he exp la ined : studying how the things that mothers might ingest or come in contact with will affect the fetus . "h's vital to con tinue the toxicologic studies for the health of future generations."' he said . Fetal tissue can also be used therapeutically. he noted . For example . fetal tissue imp lanted into people suffer ing from Parkinson's disease seems to be more effective than mature ti ss ue in treating that illness. Another poli tical 1ssue involves the very few but highl y publicized incidents of fraud in biomedical researc h. Kn ox said . .. The a lleged misconduct in research casts a cloud over the research commun ity as a whole ... he said . ··unfortunat ely. it need s to be addressed . It is a fact on the current scene, eve n though we wish it weren't ." U K nox said that Congress s ho uld specify the number of research grants it wants to fund rather than giving scientists a lump sum . Specifying th e number of gran" would provide stabil ity to research. he sajd. That , in turn . wo uld enco urage young people t o choose re sea rch careers . It would also give Congress a sense of what is being funded . Co ngress would have a target to s hoo t for and therefore a commitment to a certain level of activity. Researchers would also probabl y end up getting more money. he noted . But the drawback to s pecifyi ng n um be rs of grants 1s that Congress tends to dictate to the NIH how mone y shou ld be used . he added . he proposed NIH budget IS $7. 1 billion. but $7 .6 btllio n is needed JUSt to maintain th e c urre nt level of research . Kno x believes the budget for th e 1989 fiscal vear should be S8.2 billt o n. " I don't lightly bnng th1s recommendation. co nsidering the budget ailemma.he sa1d . "There will be restramts 1n s pend ing o n every federal front. mcluding biomedicme.. ·· Fund ing for research 1 ~ important beca use "in the past . It ha.s re sulted in ext ra o rdinar y advances 1n human health . which suggest s that the money hasn 't been spent . but 1nves ted ." Kn ox said . Fo r eve ry do llar spent o n health research , S 13 is returned to the econo my. he no ted . And basic as well as a pplied resea rc h mu st be funded. he co ntended . The classic example is the broadbased poho resea rch that allowed people to avoid the iron lung. he said . Rather than stud yi ng only the devel o pment of better iron lungs. the answer lay in virology a nd developing a vaccme to prevent individuals from contracting the ill ness . T "The mone y saved on that disease alone ill ustrates the point." Kn ox said . The very su bstant ial progress m AIDS research that has been made in a s hort time wouldn't have been possible "Research funding in the past has resulted in extraordinary advances in human health, which suggests that the money hasn 't been spent but invested." either withou t a bro ad research base that had bee n built years befo re. he pointed out. Research training 1s a long process. Knox added . If we waited until a s pecific problem like A IDS arose before we trained researchers there would be an intolerabl y long wait fo r a solution. nox received hi s training at UB . K He chose the field of pharmacy in part because his father was a pharmacist. "My father was m y first role model." he noted .

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

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

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

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

This study is sponsored by the American Council on Education (ACE) and UCLA's Graduate School of Education . Surprisingly, interest in engineering and technology continues to decline nationally. The 1987 study shows that freshman interest in engineering has fallen by more than a fourth since 1982, while preference fo r computing careers has declined by more thao twothirds during the same period . This is one of the few areas where U B differs widely from the national norm s : Twenty-nine per cent of UB freshmen will likely choose engineering as a career. compared with 13.3 per cxnt at all public universities. Business, say the stud y authors. continues to attract more students . ..The risi ng popularity of business among college freshmen is in part attributable to the growing number of women wh o plan to pursue business careers: this year 22.0 per cent of freshman women plan to enter business careers .... lndeed, women now outnumber men in some business fields : for e xample mor e freshman women than men plan to enter accounting ... The 1987 national survey is based on questionnaires completed by 289,875 freshmen entering 562 two- and fouryear institutions. Survey officials used 209,627 of the questionnaires from 390 institutions to compute the 1987 freshmen norms. At UB, 1829 entering students participated. The CIRP stud y also compares UB with other public unive rsities and with so-called "high select" public universities, such as the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the University of Illinois. In the latter category, the mean combined SAT score for entering fresh men was above 1100. Questions on the survey involve a wide variety of student opinion on social and personal issues, in addition to purely educational concerns. US's Office of Institutional Studies administered the survey last summer during freshman orientation. UB was able to attach eigbt questions on topics of local concern. The CIRP survey found that teacbing is of growing interest to American freshmen, up by more than two-thirds as a career choice since 1982. "The rising interest reflects the overall climate in education; the public is ooce again interested in education, salaries are up, the jobs are there, and the demographics point to cootinuiog stroag demand," the report DOtes. The same caonot be said for interest in the bcalth care professions. For instance, the proport>oo of freslunao womeo interested m oursin& careen bas fallen by more than half since 1983. Also, interest in medical careen amoag all freshmen bas dropped to 3.S per ceot in 1987, down from 3.7 per cent last year and the peak of 4.0 per cent in 1984. • The study also lbows that more women woulcl prefer to become dcx:tors than nurxa. Additioully, the 1987 survey reveal~ that "Dearry equl proportions of men and womeD hope to become physici.us. In tm, the fJ3W1'1 A record number of freshme n nation ally (75.6 per cent) identify "being very well off financially " as a top goal. Also amportant are .. being an auth ority in my chosen field " (77.2 per cent). For 71.3 per cent of freshmen, "to make more money" was a key reason for attending college. By contrast, less than two-ftfths of this year's freshmen identify "developmg a mearungful phtlosophy of life" as ao essential or very importaot life goal dowo from 40.6 per cent in 1986 and 82.9 per cent in 1967. Just under ooe-ftfth of freshmen oatiooally described themselves as politically conservative in 1987 (18.3 per cent actually, dowo from 18.7 per cent last year and 19.6 io 1981.) The study authors add: -rhe proportion of those ideotif;ri;ng tbemselves as liberal bas . beeo riling slowly in recent years, up to 22.2 per ceot of the 1987 freshmen . .. However, the proportion of 'liberal' freshmen is "llill weU below the peak of 3S.3 per cent posted in 1971." The political category of "middle of the road" bas experienced the most I!I"QWI.h in recent ye&J:S, O<:COuolinB for S6 per cent in 1987. This year's crop of freshmen endorses several traditionally liberal positions. More thao balf support legal abortion ; three-fourths oppose increased defense spending, and almost half agree that colleges should not invest endowment funds in companies that do business in South Africa. 0 n the other hand , ' freshman s upport for "'laws prohibiting homosexual relations" has increased again this year, to 53 . 1 per cent, up from 52.2 per cent last year and 47.9 per cent in 1985. The stud y authors theorize that this may have something to do with concern over A IDS. . Yet freshmen are apparently illmformed about the ways AIDS is transmuted. The authors point to the record high number of freshmen (5 1.9 "Here, 76.6 per cent of freshmen can do 'at least' 15 pushups; and 20.5 per cent claim to speak a second language." per cent) who agree that "if two people really hke each other it 's all right for them to have sex even if they have ~:.W-n each other for only a short Another aU-time high is the n~ber of f'"!bmen (52. 1 per ceot) who agree a couple should live together f ohmeore marriage." Also, 59.9 per ceot of . res say "getting roamed" iJ an uoporumt life goal. The study also found that ci tte smoking continues to decline = n eotenog freshmen .

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

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

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

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

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

Each story depended on JUSt where along the equator the person had been and on the traveller 's personality.

In the end, I didn' know "·hat. to expect, except that it would be wase to take as many J 00 per cent cotton. or silk things as possible. This quest for couon clothing became something of a small obsession in the weeks before I was to leave BuffaJo. I was convi nced that I00 per cent cotton, wha.t ever dse was true, wou ld be my salvauon. I felt this, in part, because the couple who exhorted me "to go cotton all the way .. were people of established social standing who had been around the world a fe w times and were always l dressed correctly in the eyes of rhosc who know about these th ings. These same people had for years given me suuestions a bout decor and home fum ish tngs. Their basic message had been always "ge\ rid of everything ...

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

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

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

Nationally synd icated columnist Nat Hentoff claJmed in the April 9 issue of The Washington Post that the "Facult y Statement Regatding Intellectual Freedom , Tolerance, and Prohibited Harassment violates First Amendment guarantees of the free speech of law students here. Hentofl's claim, said Law School Dean David Filvatoff, is incorrect. Neither he nor Associate Dean Lee Albert thinks th at the sta tement . endorsed by the Student Bat Association , is unconstitutional. "The conflict is n' that large," said Lee. "The issue has really grown in importance because of the attention it has gotten in the media" .. Tf students are concerned and read into it somethin·g that was never intended, then in that sense we have a "Fools have a right to be fools and bad ideas will die of their own exposure," objectors to faculty statement argue. ment authorities. There is general agreement on the point that the acts cited have no place m the school. The current controversy centers on a section of the statement regarding student speech. The statement•s third paragraph explains that racist or sexist remark$ "will be ill-received" and that such statements . .. as well as other remarks based on prejudice and group stereotype. will generate critical responses and swift, open condemnation by the faculty , wherever and however they occur." What that means is that faculty will re.~pond to inappropriate comments with verbal condemnation. not formal sanction, said Filvaroff, who took over as dean of the school after the statement's adoption. "I expect that in the process of settling this issue it will be made clear that we never intended more than that. .. F ilvaroff is cenain that the FS RB will make a recommendation for faculty action that will .. eliminate what seem unwarranted concerns ... .. Rewording the statement is a possible solution, but not the only possible solution," said Alben. He did not rule out the possibilit y of eliminating the third paragraph from the statement. He added that the nature of the objections is well understood by the faculty. Those objections are most clearly stated by Thomas Jipping, a 1987 graduate of the Law School. Jipping was among 12 students who expressed opposition to the statement at a meeting of the FSRB on Friday. problem, ... said Filvaroff. To address Jipping's concern with the statemenl that issue, he has asked the school's Faculty-Student Relations Board (FSRB) to look into the matter. The FSRB will make its recommendation to the faculty sometime in the coming week, according to chairman Nils Olsen. is twofold . He feels that the faculty are proscribing speech solely on the basis of content , in violation of the Constitution, and that the labels given lO speech, subject to such sanctions. are overly broad and political. Jipping contends that the paragraph would remain unconstit utional even if the language were more spec ific . because .. open condemnation" of speech is in itself a sanction against such speech. he statement was adopted on Oct. in response to a series of harassing, in timidating events directed at women, blacks, and homosexuals in the Law School during the 1986-87 school yeat.

The sanctions include notifying the character and fitness committee of .. any bar to which the student applies, " as well as state and federal law enforce- T2 ondemnat ion coming from an authority figure such as a professor will have a "chilling effect" on speech in Jipping 's view. It will make st udents unwilling to freely express themselves verbally. he said. The fact that University professors are S1ate representatives makes this a Constitutional matter, he stated . Buffalo attorney Davi d Ja y. a represen tative of the New York Civil Liber- C ties Union, agrees. "You couldn' find a clearer example of an anti-free speech statement, " said Jay. He added : "Fools have a right to be fools and bad ideas will die of their own exposure. Content-based prohibitions on the expression of those ideas should not be tolerated." "The oven intention of the faculty is to chill undesirable speech. They have created a mechanism whereby they can eliminate that speech altogether." Jipping said. Filvaroff said the faculty does not want to produce a chilling effect on pure speech. At the same time, the school bas an obligation to ensure that it is hospitable toward people with the broadest ran$< of ideas and also to all groups, he saJd. The faculty statement was intended to ensure that those groups are not discriminated against by word or deed . he said. Jipping funher contended that the statement reads as if the labels given to prohibited speech have self-evident definitions. These definitions are political and subject to interpretation, he said. "The faculty justify this statement on the grounds th at it promotes- justice and equality. I want to know whose version of equaJity and justice I now have to promote. The language is very political. " T he solution. according to Jipping, is to remove the third paragraph from the statement. That would leave a strong policy statement dealing with harassing conduct, stated in clear and uncenain terms, he said. He added that he can' understand why the faculty feels it must address the issue of speech. "When you supp ress speech. you suppress debate, " said Jipping. Filvaroff said there was never any desire to stifle the expression of ideas in or out of the classroom . "The free expression of ideas and open. vigorous argument is what educa0 tion is all about , .. Filvaroff said. Bennett says UB Law is 'leftist haven' - like Berkeley & Harvard B officials were not in the least dismayed Monday in the wake of Secretary of Education William Bennett's criticism tha the law school here is a haven for liberals. .. As far as I'm concerned, this is flattering," Vice President for University Relations Ronald H . Stein told the U tion. Filvaroff had neither seen nor read what the secretary had lo say. Bennett has never visited the UB law school as far as Vice President Stein knows. Filvaroff, too, was at a loss to explain wby the secretary had singled out UB . Robert W. Keller, a pattner in the firm of Hodgson , Russ . Andrews. .. The secrerary is paying Woods and Goodyear and presidenr of attention to leading U.S. universities. " Bennett had lumped UB with Berkeley, Harvard Law, Danmouth , Smith College. the University of Massachusetts. Colby and Stanford as being a mong the worst offenders for what he termed "left wi ng intolerance to conservati ve viewpoints."' At Stanford aitd on othe r campuses. Bennett said. liberals are far too ready to use charges of racism and sexism as "'trump cards to stop the debate'' on important issues. U B Law Dean David B. Fil varoff told th e News. "l would not back away from being called a liberal law school at all. •Liberar implies freedom of exchange of ideas. which is what education is all about. .. Filvaroff said that in juxtaposing UB with Harvard and Berkeley. Bennett had done nothing to upset him. " I think we should be nattered:· the dean told the News by way of an initial reac- the Law Alumni. told the NeK'S, he is not aware of any basis whatsoever for any claim of any stilling of conservative views at the law school.

Bennett made his remarks at a New Orleans confe rence of the National Writers Association on Sunday. ..The thing that worries me most, .. Bennett said of his perception of the si tuation at the schools he mentioned, .. is not the explicit shouting down .. but a rather a more subtle, quiet kind of intolerance that suggests that all so phisticated and intelligent people are of one view.

No one wants to criticize him for fear of being called a racist.'" Those statements brought a heated exchange between Ferraro and a Jackson support er in the audience. "You're telling non-blacks not to vote for Jackson, .. said the quest ioner . ..That's a dangerous remark ... " I won't let you get awa y with saying ~ that," Ferraro ret oned.

The U.N . disputes the legality of South Africa 's administration of her country, which is a former German colony. In 1948, said Nashandi, South Africa extended its apanheid laws to Namibia. In 1966, the U.N. general assembly passed a resolution terminatin$ South Africa's mandate in Namibla. But South Africa continues to maintain that the U.N. has no authority over Namibia. Nashandi called the South African presence in Namibia one of .. brutal repression...

'88 Next president will have to heed call of ·Latin America By ANN WHITCHER atin America probably won\ play a bij! role an the presidential electiOn, but the nation's next leader should heed the call of this important neighbor. This is the view o( Gary Hoskin, UB associate professor of political science L and an expert on Latin American poli tics. .. Traditionally Americans have not bee n interested in Latin America, e'<ct pt for crisis situations, .. said Hos''" - This attitude, be said, is reflected '" the candidates' lack of emphasis on Latin America in their campaigning. Still. Hoskin hetieves that the cand idate~· positions on latin America will ha' c some impact in states with large H1spanic populations, such as Califorma. Florida, Texas, Arizona; and New \1cxico. r ,e n the Iran-Contra affair is "fadtm! as an election issue," Hoskin b<lJcves. " If the Sandinistas are still there when Reagan is ready to exit, and ,r l '. S. diplomacy fails to to)'ple the Sand mistas, there is the possibtlity of a I \ invasio n, but I view that as un li .cly... Ht: co ntinued: the sit uation in \ tt·aragua changes to the point that it (Jn be dubbed a new addition to the '"'' ll' t-Cu ban block. this is a different m..t ll t'r But that's not going to happen b ~ t'ln.:uo n time ... regard to our Latin American policy than they have differed. I think that's reflected in the (presidential) candidates as well." For instance, Democratic Sen. Albert Gore supported the Contra movement in Nicaragua and also the invasion of Grenada, Hoskin said. "Duk.alr.is is more liberal toward Latin America in the Kennedy variety. Gore is more in the Johnson mold." Dukak.is is a strong supporter of the Arias Peace Plan and bas met with President Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica on several occasions. In 1986, Dukakis refused to send National Guardsmen from his state to Honduras. He is characterized as being "antiContra" and speaks Spanish fluently. Jackson, said Hoskin, falls outside the consensus with respect to U.S. pol- icy toward Latin America. ··He's much more supportive of popular mo·v emeots and Third World, revolutionary processes than any of the other candidates." But a President Jackson would be more centrist. ...That's inevitable, .. Hoskin stated. I n Hoskin's view ... the Democrats, since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, have enjoyed better relations with Latin American countries. There was the Good Neighbor Policy of FOR and the Alliance for Progress of John F. Kenned y. But Johnson sort of abandoned the Alliance for Progress and supported military gover nments in Latin America. "Formally, the Democrats rely to a much greater extent than the Republicans on the formal institutions of the inter-American system, such as the OAS. "My general feeling is that the United States is at a rather crucial point in its relations with Latin America." The new president, says Hoskin, must realize that "the U.S. doesn \ pay enough atte ntion to Latin Amenca. Because of this, there are staunch alties that we are not cultivating, such as Brazi l, Colo mb ia, Argentina, and Mexico.- Hoskin holds his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and his M.A. from Johns Hopkins. In 1986-87, be held a fellowshtp from the National Endowment for Democracy to study democracy in Colombia. In 1986, he was a consultant to the Universidad de Los Andes through a U.S. Information Agency Program. 0 ··1r o• do the candidates feel about H Ho-.\..m. a firm supporter of the ConI Jtm America?

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

This malces it cheaper to use nurses to fiU in here and there than to hire other workers. For example, if a large number of patients need physical therapy, a thera· pist is hired.

When a real short age develops, the wage in creases w~ll outstrip the cost of living increases. There may, however, be a real s h o rt ~ age develo ping. Data gathered by the American Associati o n of Co ll eges of ursing indicates a 28 per cent dro p in enrollments in baccalaureate nu rsi n g programs in the last iive ' years. In the 1983-84 acade mic year. there were 68,000 nursi ng students enrolled in baccalaureate nursing p rogr ams; in the 198 7-1!8 academic year, there are 49,000. This decline cannot be attributed to the overall decline in collegeage st ud e nts . Rather , wome n are selecting careers from a broader me nu o f choices, including all of the fields th at were once stereotypically male. The lost women students have not yet been replaced by men. Only 6 per cent of the current st udent body are men. The salaries in nursing will need to come up to a more reasonable level befon: men can be counted on to replace tbe lost cadre of women. I antictpate th is will happen within five years. The nursing role will be pared down to t he tasks that need tbe expertise of a nurse; the salaries will increase to the level of other professions requiring comparable skills, and the nursi"8 student body will become more integrated with a larger con~nt of men students.

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

Follett defends its quality as some profs complain "'H By ANN WHITCHER ow good is the Fol- . lett Bookstore? The answer depends on whom you're talking to. At last week's faculty senate meeting, several senators complained about the quality of the general (or trade book) section. But there was disagreement on how well the bookstore is handling textbook orders. Follett officials defended the quality of their stock, saying they "are willing to bend . over backwards" to satisfy faculty .demands. The discussion was prompted by a letter to Senate Chair John Boot from Karen Miller-Allen, associate health sciences librarian . who finds the bookstore "appalling" in quality. She said "a university bookstore should be a bibliophile's delight, a place for the mind. Academics love to browse in bookstores. Hardly. anyone I know browses at the University Bookstore. "It may be that although there are good managers in tbe bookstore, that such people are not necessarily aware of the scope of books academics would purchase if such books were made available." Exemplary in her view are bookstores at the University of Minnesota, McMaster University in Hamilton, and the Harvard Co-op. "Here one could go in looking for seemingly esoteric books and find them." She added that when out-of-town scholars visit her and express a desire to see t&e bookstore, she lies . "I tell them it's being renova~ because I'm too embarrassed to take them there."

"Then, in Madison, I walked into the university bool<store and found not only the linguistics book I was looking for, but also three others by the same author.'"

Reic hert posed these opening questions at a weekend campus conferenCe on ... Alternatives to the Nuclear Balance of Terror." Three views were presented at F riday's keynote plenary: We must Jearn to live with nuclear arms while reducing their number to a min imum. We must eliminate nuclear arms entirely. We must work toward arms reduction in tandem with accurate verification procedures and SDI research. P au! Warnke, former chief arms negotiator under President Carter for the SALT II treaty, asserted that there is no alternative to the nuclear balance of terror. "Nuclear weapons are with us to stay," be said. The question now is how to live with them. But that question is clouded by two fallacies, he said : One is that nuclear weapons can be eradicated and the other ts that governments can find some sensible or practical military or political use for them. Eradication is impossible because too many countries have nuclear capability, he said. If the United "states and the Soviet Union were to eliminate nuclear stockpiles, they would do so at the cost of militaty advantage over smaller, less stable countries. We can live with nuclear weapons by placing controls and limitations on them and by eliminating the reasons for any . nation to start a nuclear war Warnke continued. That means elimi~ nating the reasons for fear and desperation on the part of nations with nuclear capability. If either of the major powers has first-strike capability, nuclear war is more likely to occur, he said. To eliminate that capability, we must eliminate weapons most adaptable to first-strike use. Those include intermediate range nuclear weapons housed in bunke rs in Western · Europe . The Intermediat e Range Nuclear Arms Treaty currently before Congress addresses those weapons, seeking their eventual elimination , Warnke stated. The INF treaty is definitely a step in the right direction, Warnke maintained . This should be followed by the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START), which be described as a "breaking out of reason."

These are weapons of genocide. he said , and their production is a ve ry costly business. Since 1962, for cxarn6 pie, the United States has spent Sl. billion to conduct tests on improvtng the performance of its nuclear stock· pile, said Khripunov. What the Sovtcts have spent, he did not reveal. . In addition , he noted , accide nts occur, costing lives and mone y, and the two nations· set a poo r example for others by stoclr.piling nuclear and con· ventional arms. By threatenin g each other we do not assure world secuntY: instead, we assure· mutual insecurit y. New approaches to tbe question of ar ms reduction and elimination arc required, Khripunov suggested approaches based on four pnnc1ple> agreed on at the Reagan-Gorbachcv summit in 1987. They are: nuclear war �t April 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 do? should not be waged; there can be no winner in such a war; both sides should be determined to prevent th is or a con~ ventional war. and neither side should try to seek superiori1y. he said. The Soviets. he said. have decided there is no alternative to a nuclear·free world. Their response to these princi~ pies has been to draft a program whose goal is such a world without nuclear weapons. he noted . "There is a saying which goes: You cannot be slightly pregnant," Khri· punov said. "This applies to nuclear weapons. Either you are with them or you are withopt them." No matter how few nuclear weapons exist. said the vis~ iting speaker. all the current dangers posed by them will be the same. !(e pointed to the recent Chernobyl disas· ter as an example of the dangers of the nuclear age. Arms reduction. both nuclear and conventional, is the key to making the world a safer place. he said. Along with that reduction should be a focus on worldwide economic secu rity. humanitarian considerations. and environmental issues. "We are open-minded and we are inviting all other states to come together at the United Nations and think together of.... ways of ensuring security in our world,"' he concluded . W illiam Shepard , congressional director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. had no argument with the idea of arms reduction. However. he stressed the need for accurate ve rification procedures. The Jack of sophisticated verification technology was among reasons for failure of the SALT II talks of the Carter Administration. Shepard said. The cu rren t INF treat y proposal out· lines intrusive verification measures "Arms reduction, both nuclear and conventional, is the key to a safer world. A long with that reduction should come economic security and humanistic considerations. That makes it a much more serious proposal for arms control than the earlier SALT II talks. he said. Shepard lost favor with the audience when he added that the Strategic Defense In itiative is essential to the possibility of moving away from the prospec t of MAD. In Shepard"s view, the system would allow us to move beyond MAD to the possibility for defense. Even if it didn't work with 100 per cent efficiency . he said. the knowledge that a first stike is useless would deter any nation from engaging in such a strike. But Warnke and Khripunov labeled .. Star Wars·· a destablizing factor in arms negotiations. A debate ensued during the question· and-answer period . A few minor battles of wit and Ideology broke out among the speakers as each vied for clari.fica· .tion of his point. prompltng moderator Claude Welch to note that he was glad to be between Shepard and Warnke. The conference was orga nized by the Nuclear War Prevention Studies Grad· uate Group, which Reichert directs. 0 Nuclear weapons in Europe termed 'wrong' By DAVID M SNYDERMAN uclear arms are wrong for even We st ern Europe from a military point of view. Lieutenant Colonel John Buchannan. retired from the United States Marine Corp s and presemly working in the Center for Defense Informati on. said at the Saturday morning session of the conference on nuclear alternatives. Our current political and military si tuation in Western Europe stems from Western European fears of a Soviet invasion after World War II. the 22· year veteran of the Marines said. The European allies desired a "coupling" of the futures of Europe and the United States - a guarantee that any Soviet aggression would lead to a response by the U.S. The coupling concept also implied .. extended deterrence. " Just as the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction has been the basis for deterrence in the past four decades. the European allies wished for a similar concept of nuclear retaliation in the event of a Soviet invasion. The U.S. solution. Buchannan said. was a policy of .. flexible response" under which ··we would gradually escalate the war step-by-step·by· step. always being one nuclear bomb ahead of the Soviets.·· The Russians knew that if they launched a conventional war to conquer Western Europe. they would end up being destroyed in a nuclear connict. Buchannan, however. doesn't think the Soviet Union is really posing any kind of threat to Europe. Despite press reports of a 2.5 to I tank rat io in favor of the Warsaw Pact, he contends that NATO conventional forces are stro nger than Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces in Europe. This is because NATO has more combat helicopters and war planes. More importantly, he noted, NATO ha s the advantage in "such non· quantitative factors as weapon technology. troo·p quality. and weapon reliabili ty. ••Judging by how much the alliance spends each year on milita ry· forces. it would be surprising if NATO did not feel its conventional forces are at least as strong as those of !he Warsaw Pact ... Buchannan said. According to the Pentagon's own reports, he claimed , NATO has always outspe nt the Warsaw Pact - by a sum total of about N S!.7 trillion in the past 20 years. Also. Buchannan thinks that if there were a war. it would not be limited to Europe - the Soviets would have to fight on many fronts. including Chma. Japan. Kore a. and Australia. War ~a\\ Pact and U.S .S .

Minl.(nal deterrence. the threat of nuclear weapons to discourage a conventional war. would require substantially fewer weapons than are currently in our nuclear arsenal. according to Victor TtlUryoni. Thuryoni. a member of the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence and one of the panel responding to Buchannan. said that if the purpose of American nuclear weapons is really minimal deterrence. we can well afford to do away with tactical. first·strike weapons in Europe . We could also cease testing new nuclear weapons because our current supply is more than adequate for that purpose. In fact. Thuryoni noted. "we could reduce our nuclear force. not by 50 per cent. but at least by 95 per cent or more and still have that survivable force that will _serve as a very important deterrent to any country contemplating use of nuclear weapons." S Igor Khripunov. first secreta ry of the Soviet Embassy in charge of arms control negotiations. believes "we arc becoming prisoners of our own technology. because we hear statements that these weapons cannot be eliminated, that these weapons cannot be reduced, because it is not verifia ble ... {tleaning that a treaty would be difficult to enforce. He blames the attitude that treaties are .. not verifiable" on a general • sense of mis trust between America and the Soviet Union. He faults for this lack of trust a stereot ype in the U.S. that portrays the Russians as ..cheaters." II three speakers agreed that nuclear war must be avoided . The INF trea ty is seen as a step in that direction, but more effons along these lines arc required, th ey cpncurred. Concern over the po ssi bility of a conventional war was also sounded. A Buchannan doubted that a nuclear war would be started intcntionall v. Instead. he feels that a conventional \\ ar would escalate as soon as a field commande r saw h1 s men dying and decided t o use nuclear battlefield weapons. such as artillery shells. short range /and-based rn1 s~ lles and a1rcraft delivered bombs. to tn to save them. All these weapons arc. left untoochcd by the 1:-IF treat y currently being debated in Congress. "We could reduce our nuclear force not by 50 per cent, but by 95 per cent or more and still have a survivable force to serve as a deterrent to any country thinking of attacking us. " Thuryoni agreed : ""Ultimately, it is the avoidance of any threat of conventional war which is the best way of reducing the threat of nuclear war. .. In a conventional war. he fears, "somehow or other. nuclea capons may get launched through panic." Buchannan suggested that in order to s\jlve.. off nuclear war, a firebreak sho uld be created in Central Europe. ··A pullback on each side of the German border of 100 or 120 kilometers" would allow for a reduction of tensions in the area. This would help keep even a conventional war from breaking out in Europe. Although correct first steps have been made in treat ies such as INF, there is much yet to .be taken care of in reducing the nuclear threat, the panelists agreed . Both sides also have to be willing tO trust each other. for withouf trust , even verifica tion will not offer mutual reassurance. Much time and negotiations are needed before we are no longer in this "'insane race" (as Buchan nan put it) for nuclear supremacy. 0 �• Aprtl 14, 1988 Volume 19, No. 24 , I . lA ~._>lit• (~~-~) • ~·-~ II SIA CAIPAIGII '88 Barbara Mierzwa: one of the best SEFA volunteers I like knowing that people in need ma y be getting assistance ... ~aid MJcriwa.

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

We welcome your comments. cal slogans were exhausted. Mam writes that there was an implicit distrust of the people, an unforgivable "propensity for veiled threats, brutality and murder, .. rather than persuasion (Criddle and Mam, p. 84). Sometb May wrote that "The weird thing about this peasant revolution was that none of the accumulated wisdom of~ peasants went into iL" (pp. 186-187). By simple seeding. Cambodia's natural fecundity would bave fed the nation's population abuildantly. But Angka forbade private crop production and demanded that all food gathered from the countryside be given over to the community. Angka decreed three rice crops per year, a mad-batter idea tbat violated nature. Zones failed to meet harvest quotas. "Enemies" were blamed, not policy. Enemies meant executions, en~ng ever-widening waves of indiVIduals. families, communities, zooes. July became synonymous with "1be K.illing Season." (Criddle and Mam, p. 147, Bec.k.er, pp. 248-250). Angka tighteacd tbe screws. tree and left for ants to swarm over him. Ngor saw Khmer Rouge guards suffocate, disembowel, and dismember a pregnant woman, ripping the fetus OUt of her and nailing II to a tree. The guards sliced up her breasts and ate them, while joking about her genitals, which had been gouged with a bayonet {Ngor, pp. 216, 247-248)'. Haing Ngor survived three such imprisonments and torture and later won an academy award for bis role as Dith Pran in "The Killing Fields." Embittered Cambodians, forbidden to mourn their dead, saw the corpses of tbeir kin tossed aside like so much meat, buried in shaUow graves, stuffed down empty wells, cast into ponds and streams, left for wolves to devour. The horrifying scene in "The Killing Fields" when Dith Pran stumbles into a .grisly pit 'of corpses was not atypical. Cambodian executions were graphic, immediate, and casuaUy public. Szymusiak recounts ~.big bizarre scene: 1M yotl!tlT took m~ with her to tM ana w/u,r~ th~y tkcapitated ~pk. "Dehumanization followed official depersonalization. Sjck, starving, brutalized people became disposable units of labor with no intrinsic value." Food rations were reduced, work increased to an inhuman level. Overworked and malnourished, the population became vulnerable to disease. Oedema, a bloating of the limbs from malnutrition, became a common disease. The cure was adequate diet, but food was witbbeld by policy. Another disease resulting from malnutrition was night-blindness. When Szymusiak developed night-blindness, the Khmer Rouge abandoned her in a graveyard, to test wbetber she was shirking. After being foroed to acknowledge that she was in fact sick. the K.bmer Rouge led Seymusiak by the hand to a work site where she was set to coUecting dirt in baskets. (Szymusiak, pp. 152-153). Epidemics were widespread tbe fmt year, 1975, including malaria &Del typhoid fever. Lacking staple food,- tbe ~ forapl .for wild food.

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

While s he was doing this , another volunteer from the audience held a calendar up for all to see. Then, while he did this. another person turned the pages of the calendar. Much to the delight of the audience. the page turner couldn) even keep up wi t h Devi. Many in the audience believed that Devi had some kind of system for doing all of her work. But she insisted that all her calculations are simply done - with aston ishing quickness in her head . "I don't have any meth ods," s he said . ... The answers just come to me." By FRANK BAKER S hakuntala Devi. billed as the ··world famous human co mputer,"' paid a visit to U B last week and astounded her audi- ence by doing intricate mathematical calculations in her head . Devi. from India. took questions from her standing room only audience in O'Brian Hall's Moot Court and answered them all correctly. much to the chagrin of many of the questioners who had hoped to stump her. Beginning with some "easy" problems. such as the cube root of 19.815.528 (the answe r is 583), Devi gradually worked her way up to more difficult problems - ones that took her a little over five seconds to calculate. six," she said withOut hesitation ... Is that correct?" With a sligh tl y bafned loo k and nod of approval. the sheepish questioner acknowledged that her an swer was right. What Devi did in O'Bnan Hall mav have astonished her audi ence. but i"t was slim picki ngs compared to a few of the o ther things she has done. For example. she has gained wo rld- wide auenti on by beating a Uni\'aC computer in a calculat ions race. She can also determine the 23rd root o f a 20 I digit number in less than 50 seco nd s. D cvi answered all her UB quest io ne rs by first stating the numbers in her an s wer. minus comma s. and t hen ha\'ing a volunteer fro m the audience write lhe numbers o n a blackboard so all could see. After astounding th ose asse mbled with her mathematical wizardry. Devi challenged anyone in the auditonum to give her a year. month. and day. She would then tell them what da y of the week it was. She was correct every time. even a nswering one questioner who asked her the day of the week of 1493. To end her performance. some numerical work with calendar.

(Criddle and Mam. pp. 246260. esp. 255) The first waves, mostly Chams. became human mine detonat ors, strewn· esc, supported by the U.S.S.R., and the Khmer resistance forces, of which .t he la rgest and best equipped are the Khmer Rouge. The resistance is supported by ASEAN , China, and the U.S. Some 200.000 Cambodians have settled in the West. An estimated 350,000 live in the interstices of the Ca mbodja-Thai border, among the opposing armies, wit h little hope of resettlement . Among the survivor accounts reviewed here , Ngor's and Sheehy's story of Mohm Phat contain the best accounts of adjustment to life in America. Survivo rs such as Leng and Dihni and the students at UB live today with their own emotional conOicts, physical di sabilities, and practical problems. One is education. As a recent Buffalo News arttcle (March 30, 1988) pointed out, the 4-6 years of lost time in Cambodia (there was no real educa\io n under the Khmer Rouge) and Thailand have left many with educatio nal deficits that are difficult if not impossi ble to surmount. Perhaps the most difficult emotional issue for survivors is ... why did I survi ve while others did not?" Some choose to deal with the question by " psychic numbing, " a kmd of emotional sabotage. One freezes out the sorrow of irretrievable loss in order to get on with one's life _II Like the authors of the survivo r stories reviewed here, most of the Cambodians I have spo ken with. rat her than wanting to bury their past , wish to bear witness to it.

"Perhaps these eloquent memoirs will help us not to forg et the trauma." T he people corrupted Khm er Rouge _ soldiers, who coveted statu s symbols hke ball point pens and automatic watches a nd were willing to trade rice rauons for them. In Yalhay's vi llage, dea th rates were consistently underreported . The rice surplus was used by the Khmer Rouge to b(\rter with the . people, little luxury items for rice. A co rrupted system was more malleable, establishing a margin of difference for so me to eke through. _ After the Vietnamese invasion, disarmed Khmer Rouge soldiers were hunted down by the people. The murderous rage that had grown in the hearts of the people during their captivIty, led to frenzied soenes of slaughter. Ca ptured Khmer Rouge were beheaded and tom apan, limb from limb (Ngor, 354-355, 362-363). . In the confosion that followed the Vietnamese invasion, Teeda Butt Ma~'s family escaped to Thailand, arnvmg June 1979, about the same . t1me as Leng and Dihni Ung, with their daughter Leap. y tben, hundreds of thousands had poured into Thailand , to the alarm of Thai officials who beca me increasingly frustrated by the Inattention or the west to its new refugee problems. Thaiiaild took drastic action. On June 8 Thai soldiers carrie to the camps and began loading frightened Cambodians onto buses. The in the path of those that followed . Leng calculates it took a day to inch down the cliffs and another week to cross the mine field . Leng felt a terrible fear that the Vietnamese would kill his family for having escaped from Cambodia. Instead, Leng was met at the end of the mine field by friendl y Vietnamese guards wh o gave him fo od rations.' 0 Western reporters wit nessed Preah Vihear and soon th e world knew about the plight of Cambodian refugees. Refugee relief for post Khmer Rouge Cambodia is the subject of William Shawcross' masterful treatise, The Quali1y of Mere~. Shawcross shows a tragic delay of a1d whtle reitef agenc1es like the Red Cross a nd UN ICEF struggled to reach a modus vivendi between the dictates of the respect ive governments, their officially apolitical missions and the multitudes of suffering starving Cambodians. In order to maintain a facade of neutrality, Thailand insisted upon aid for Khmer Rouge strongholds, a demand that relief agencies could not ignore, because many innocent civilians were . mingled among the Khmer Rouge. Atd to the Cambodian interior was extremely difficult because the Vietnamese first denied there was any need for aid. Later, the Vietnamese reversed themselves, claiming as many as two million would die if unprecedented famine relief v;ere not immediately forthcoming. The famine threat turned out to be a hoax, foisted by the Vietnamese western relief agencies who feared to err on the side of caution. Cambodian relief in 1979-1980 was a story of good intentions that failed . uPbn T oday, the war for-Cambodia continues, fought between ~he Vietnam- h~ left behind/ . bw also for rhose who died - for my parenrs. for A ny/ his wife h·ho disappeared in 1he jungles during I heir escape/ . fo r 1i1e olher children.

(p. 216) Thus, the survivor stories and those yet untold. on o ne leve l are personall y therapeutic, enabling the survivors to bring o rder and reaso n into the mad· ness of their own past. At a level that will last far beyond their own lives, they have brought a valuabl e and permanent testament to the historical record. The y have enriched the lives of all of us. Our attention was swiftl y diverted fro m Cambodia by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Iran hostage crisis. Cambodia has remained an epi· sodic blip in our collective mem ory.

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

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

A geologist can use infrared photography to describe terrain." Geology can provide important info.rmation to nutritionists, said Costanzo. For example, the soil is largely depleted of selenium, an important mineral. Even with a balanced diet, it's not possible to get enough. Then there's the issue of radon accumulation. "Radon has always been with us," said Costanzo. "It's a natural product of the deterioration of uranium." It's also a geological issue. G T he image of the contemporary geologist is diffacult to pin down. Is it tbe technocrat at a computer terminal, or is it tbe rugged outdoorsman with a pick and a knapsack?

"Just five years ago," said Charles Clemency, professor of geology, "we had a class with 70 majors. Now, just five years later, there are only I 2 or 13." What's changed? The bottom fell out of the oil industry. Five years ago, undergraduates eager to land high paying jobs were attracted by the guarantee of JObS as petroleum geologists, exelained Clemency. When the price of oil went down, companies Jet these people go, and enrollments declined . Clemency added that these things go in cycles. In a few yean, he said, when there is another inevitable oil shortage, companies will ooee again be banging on the doors of geology departments trying to snatch up senior majors. When that happens, there won' be enough petroleum geologists to go around. T o add to the woes of the Geology Department, it's the last department remaining on the Ridge Lea Campus. • ~we're the only department that people can' just wander through on their way to someplace else,~ laments Costanzo. ~ we don' have a cafeteria or even a lounge for our students.

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

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

This renects a higher-level of recruitment on the pan of coaches and the publicity the new athk:tic facilities have received. ''I'm especially bothered by the assumption that we're dealing wj~ / dumb jocks. These students have q~ ties that would admit them to a lot of universities. I have a feelin& that their credentials are as strolll! as tb_ose speciaJ admissions studenu in lbe other categories," Durkin noted . Taken as a whole, students accepted into the special admissions program · in 1987 bad a high school average of 82.5, compared with 90 for regular freshmen. Their combined SAT scores were 952.8 compared with 1114 for regular freshmen. However, their percentile rank in class was only 59.9, compared with 86 for regularly acoepted freshmen. But Hocbf~eld countered that the original program was intended to admit students with relatively low grades who showed literary, musical, or artistic talent. "Almost immediately it was corrupted and it remains corrupted,"' in his view. �April 7, 1988 Volume 19, No. 23 Chemistry prof has $340,000 superconductivity grant arvey said the UB Institute on Superconductivity is essential to G his research. " Without the institute, my By DAVID C. WEBB technique for making hij!h· temperature superconductmg thin films is being investigated by Assistant Professor of Chemistry James F. .Garvey. With a $340,000 three-year grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Garvey is studying the use of a technique of depositing a single beam of superconducttng material on another material. Garvey calls (he technique laserassisted molecular beam epitaxy (LAMBE). The superconducting material will actually be produced in the molecular beam, elinunating the need for further processing. The technique involves the use of a powerful laser that vaporizes a rod of metals at an extremely high temperature (up to 27 ,ooo• Fahrenheit). The rod will be made of materials that can produce a high-temperature superconductor. The metal vapor is then forced with a gas in a single stream of molecules to be deposited on another material. A revious methods of making thin films of superconductors have entailed depositing separate streams of pure metal, 'Using molecular beam epi· taxy. The layers of material must be processed by heating and cooling (annealed) after being deposited to produce the film. "With this technique, we hope to generate the thin film of superconducting material without doing the anneal- . ing," Garvey said. "The beam would be lil\e a paint spray that can deposit the ,_gm on any substrate.'" Garvey says the technique enables lbe scientist to change the chemistry of the material by adjustinj! the amount of laser light, or by pushtng the rod of material farther into the laser beam. The rod would be a specially made group of materials that make up the high-temperature superconductor, such as yttrium, barium, and copper for producing yttrium-barium-ropper oxide. research could not take place," be said. Researchers associated with the institute will test the thin films on special equipment for superconducting properties. Established with a $5 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the statewide institute is sponsoring workshops and awarding grants in superconductivity. The executive director is !;>avid T. ~'Garvey - is no stranger to lf3.Serassisted molecular beam chemistry. At Caltech, he · observed the discovery of the molecule· H 3·" P G assisted molecular beam chemistry. As a doctoral student under Aron arvey is no stranger to laser- . Kupperman at th'e California Institute of Technology, he observed and studied the discovery of the molecule H3 through a laser device. One unique property of a laserassisted molecular beam is that it can contain large groups or clusters of atoms of the material, rather than sin- Shaw, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UB. The institute is sponsoring a workshop from April 18 to 20 at the Hyatt Hotel. Superconductivity is the ability of cc rtam materials to carry current wnh- gle atoms or small groups of atoms. The grouping property of the laserassisted molecular beam enabled Garvey to observe the exotic molecule H1 and may enable him to produce superconducting thin films in one step. The high-temperature ceramic superconductors are frequently produced by grinding the metals , then heating and cooling them to specific temperatures. Using this "shake and bake" technique, almost anyone with the proper equipment can produce a pellet of the material. James F. Garvey One advantage to this technique may be that various formulas of superconductors will be produced relatively quickly, enabling scientists to investigate new materials in the form of thin films. Most semiconductor devices are pro- duced with thin film techniques, so reliable thin film production is important for producing semiconductors out of superconducting materials. out resistance. Before 1986, scientim believed that superconductivity could not be reached above 23 Kelvin (-41&• Farenheit). In that year; the Nobel laureates Karl A. Muller and Johannes G. Bednorz published the discovery of a copper oxide superconductor mad e with lanthanum and barium that lost all resistance to electrical current at 35 Kelvin. That work was followed in 1987 b) a discovery by Paul C. W. Cbu of the University of Houston, who subsututed yttrium for lanthanum and produced superconductivity at 93 Kelvm (-292° Farenheit). Thin films, tapes, filaments or fibe rs. dense monoliths, composites, and sin· gle crystals have all been formed from the new high temperature superconductors. Researchers at the University of Arkansas recently discoveretl a material that superconducts at -27~ Farenheit. more than 20 degrees hotter than the last discovery. 0 Senate reviews_changes in policies of .the PRB By ANN WHITCHER banges in the policies of the President's ' Review Board made since 1982 were reviewed recently by the Faculty Senate. Those determining promotion and tenure at UB are now asked to apply th~ standards for promotion used at the "most distinguished public universities in the country." According to Senator Claude Welch, who bas bad two terms on the PRB, criteria for promotion and tenure include teaching load, evaluation of teaching, efforts t,o secure outside grants, the record of publishin& student evaluation of a profeaor's ~ room Performance, and community service.

According to Reichert, the group, which bas been sponsoring monthly seminars and publishing a newsletter and working papers, plans to expand its horizons. Alread y, it has developed a catalog that serves as a guide to nuclear War prevention studies at the University. , ln futu re years. co nferences such as the one this weekend will be regular events, Reichert said: " We are planning to work with secondary school teachers to introduce nuclear war alternatives into their classrooms. In addition, we plan to establish an interdisciplinary major and minor program at the Universit y so students cin obtain academic degrees in this area of study.

In most cases, Durkin explained, the students in the program had formally applied to the University through the regular admissions process. When it looked as if they would be denied admission, they were invited to re-apply under the special admissions rubric. Of 502 applications to special admissions in 1987, 190 were accepted. A group of rotating faculty members carfully reviews each special talent application, Durkin stated ., "These faculty members aa: appointed by the senate so that tbe faculty is directly involved. The faculty senate appoints these' committee memJ>ers, yet some membens of this senate are now asking what the committee members are doing. It's nonsensical.

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

Warren Barber~ of Barberg & Associates, Eau Clatre, Wis. In a phone interview with the Repor'"· Barberg said the project has bad "'many challenges and unexpected developments." Originally, the hotel was to have been built in 14phase one," with the retail space and office building following in phase two. Now, said Barberg, the project will be done in one phase. Part of the holdup, he said, is waiting to hear whether or not the University will occupy part of the spaCe in the office building. S11id Barberg : "'We are seeking financing for the entire P.roject. We need a commitment from the University. If they cannot commit, we would have to scale down the office building from the present 200,000 gross square feet to 100,000 gross square feeL" The project will proceed even if SUNY doesn \ come through, Barberg indicated . Barberg & Associates bas secured the necessary bonds, he added. Robert .L Wagner, vice president for University services, said "'the University is interested in leasing 80,000 net square feet of space at Parcel B. We are currently in discussions with SUNY officials on this issue." · C onstruction of the hotel is first on the agenda, but aU parts of the projecU are expected to be completed at the same time near the end of 1989, Joseph Mansfield, president of the UB Foundation, told the Buffalo News. It is anticipated that more than 1,100 people will worlr. in the hotel, offices, and stores if the project is built as planned. .

Each meeting room in the conference center will have separate heat4t$ and lighting controls and aU events mside the center will be monitored by closedcircuit video. Also, conference organizers will be able to videotape talks and lectures through equipment installed at the center. As for the 12-story office building, Barberg says be hopes to lease a little over half of it to the UnivefSity. "The rest would be leased to regular commercial tenants." be retail space will consist of T 72,900 gross square feet. Inside the mall, there will be a food court where ethnic and fast food will be served. Barberg expects the retail outlets to be a combination of convenience stores and speciality shops. "Already we've bad lots of interest (from ' prospective tenants)." Barberg expects the hotel and conference center to attract conferences from all over the world. "We really won't be geared to the normal business trade. Typically, guests will be coming for two to four days." Mansfield has said the academic conference center will "showcase the University for visitors nationally and internationally." Barbcrg already has developed a similar mixed-use project in Green Bay with Regency Center, a development composed of the Embassy Suites Hotel, Regency Convention Center and Regency Office Center; and with the 307 S. Barstow Street Office and Retail Building in Eau Claire. Other Barberg projects include the State Theatre Rehabilitation Project, J. C. Penney Retail Building, and Park Tower Apartments for the Elderly, all in Eau Claire . The University has been trying to develop Parcel B for more than ten years. UB will lease the J>arcel to the UB Foundation, which will sublease it to Barberg & AssoCiates. 0 �April 7, 1988 Volume 19, No. 23 (Top) Greek Council reps gather for meeting; (immediately above) The sisters of Alpha Epsilon Phi, the sorority that sold the most papers on Kids' Day; (right) Kappa Sigma members hawking papers; they sold the most overall. Greeks By JIM McMULLEN embership in a fraternity or sor.trity brings with it more than just a social opportunity. The Greek experience offers recreational, service, and philanthropic opportunities, too, said Robert M Henderson, associate director for the Student Activities Center. Henderson, tbe administrative liaison for Greek organizations at UB, mentioned the arinual Kids' Day newspaper sale to benefit Children's Hospital, the Community Action Corps' annual "Pride in Buffalo~ cleanup campaign, and the playground construction project at the Early Childhood Research Center (ECRC). Those activities are major events for the Greeks, said Russell Dir~, presi• dent of the Inter-Greek Council (IGC). Greeks arc also active in a host of smaller events. Those· include Red Cross blood drives, local telethons, Heart Association benefits, and more. ~We get involved in .almost evcrythmg people ask for," said Diragi. vNot everything is on as large a scale as Kids' Day, so th'ere arcn' 1,000 Greeks at every activity, but there's usually some involvement."' That involvement provides a boost for these activities. This year, the IGC was the second-biggest contributor to Kids' Day. UB Greeks raised over S15,000 during the event, placing just after Mc!tT Bank in the amount of funds raised. That amount, added to the money raised during Greek Week and other events, will bring UB Greeks' total contributions to charity to almost $30,000 thiS year. Money isn' the only contribution Greeks make to the community, bowever. IGC docs not require community service, but a lot of it gets done by fra- ternities and sororities nonetheless Diragi said. ' ~ addition to tbe E!=R!= playground proJCCl, several orgaruzat10ns have set up vsafe houses" in the University Hei~ts area in conjunction with the Ann-Rape Task Force. These groups have also provided free ride and escortservices for night-time travelers in the area. All of these activities contribute to the quality of campus ' life, Henderson said. Yet a lot of this activiry takes place quietly. For example, there weren' thousands· of stingers oo campus adve"~ lt.ids' Day. That's the · norm with many commUDity servi<:c and dwitable activities the Greeu are Membership means more than social opportunity, leaders say involved in. "You don' have to advertise to reach your own members,"' Henderson said . bat contrasts with the heavy adverT tising of fraternity parties, which arc: the most obvious contributions of Greeks to campus life. Those parties and events related to them are also what brings these groups the most nak. "Some of the less conscientious fraternity members think a good program is an acre of clear land with a keg of beer in the middle," Henderson said. vsome members don' rcalizc bow negative their actions are. We hope that the good student voices will be beard, and that mcssqes and events with difficult emotional baggase will be curtailed within each cilapteT. "These problems are oot limited to fraternity members, thouglL There is a strong message in America that equates being an American man with drinking. American society basn' faced up to the problem.

A 11ood number of campus social activiues arc Greek_,;poosored_ Those include parties, intramural sports, and dance marathons. Without Greek in'tolvemeot, social life here would be ~ore boring," Diragi said. "People focus on our social aspect because that's what they · see," said Scott M_iranda, president of Alpha Delta Phi.

Uofortuoately most people doo' notice tbe work," said Dou&W Barth, president of Alpha Cbi Rho. . ... What we need to work on now IS encojlraging Greek spirit at the Univer-sity , ~ he noted. "Sometimes the only things encouraged arc the differences and rivalries between fraternities. That's unfortunate, because the groups have a lot of similarities. Nearly I ,000 Greeks working together can produce some really positive results." Tbe projected construction of Greek Row next to the Amherst Campus sboold help bring that about, Barth said. Greek Row, still in tbe planning stages, will be open for occupancy in August of 1989, according to Associate Vice Provost Dennis Black. At .present, eight groups are fmnly comrrutted to the project, which involves construction of stx 44-persoo dwellings. The number of groups Will have to come down to six before plans arc fonalized. vWe're still working out questions about · fonanciog, governance, and the tenns and conditions of University and organization participation in project," said Black. The design of shell for the buildings has been upon, as has the site on Road, but not the specifics of design. "Greek Row won' be a panacea the naws that Greek have, but policies and goals and worked oo to correct Henderson said. The IGC will also promote Greek lif~ during Greek Week, scbeduled for Apr:il 28-May I. That week, Greeks will participate in a series of competitions, fund-raisers and parties to celebrate Greek life, said Greek Week-coordinator Bret Gelber. P romotion of Greek life means promotion of student life in general, said Henderso11. Fraternities and sororities provide a small social group students can feel accepted in.

Of the eight million registered voten; in New York, only about one-founb will likely show up for the April 19 primary, he states. "How do I make sure that I'm reaching that one-founh?" Goldhaber believes the Republican turnout for the New York primary will be ·~inuscule , " now that Bush is assured of the nomination. "If you get a half million who show up, it will be a big number, but who cares. Why would you vote in the Republican primary, when there 's no election? ublic polls, Goldhaber explains, P usually commissioned by news organizations. "Usually they're interested are in knowing one thing: who's ahead. Public polls are usually cheaper to do than private polling, smce only a few questions are asked and they don' take as long to do. And, of coun;e, the data are released." On occasion public polling is done by non-media organizations. such as Goldhaber Research Associates. "We pay for it ou....lves for the publicity it gives us." Goldhaber finds that only a tiny portion of his work is political in nature. "It (the political work) is very high- p.-ofile. But actually it accounts for less than five per cent of our work. We'n: a full-service market and opinion research firm. This is the same with any of them - Bob Teeter, the Wirtblin Group, etc. Primarily they work .with commercial ' corporations." Well-known polling companies like Gallup and Harris usually restrict their political work to public polling, supplementing it with a wtremendous amount" of non-political market research, said Goldhaber. Many of "It's hard· to poll for. a primary," says Goldhaber, because· relatively few will turn out to vote; "How do I make sure I'm reaching those who will. . . ?" 1bese firms are linked in the public mind with specific news organizations. "Now you see news organizations doing it themselves . For example, then: an: polls conducted jointly by the Los Ang~l~s T'unes and Cable News Network, and CBS and the Ntw York Timts. What happens is that these media organizations get so involved with polling, they bin: their own per- "If Jackson does well in New York and Pennsylvania, then you pave to consider him a candidate who will be a thn:at to be nominated, and he should be nominated if he's the leader in delegates." He adds: "In national polling, the majority of voten; don' believe trust or like Jackson. At the same time, he's got a message that'~ being communicated, and be's doing it in an exciting way. That's a perfect example of the ability of the medium to communicate beyond the message or the messenger." New York Daily News poll on March 24, says Goldhaber, shows A Dulcalcis at 45 per cent in New York State, Jackson at 29 and Gore at five . ·•But when Cuomo was included it was Cuomo, 57 per cent, Jackson, 16 per cent and Dukakis, 13. So if Cuomo comes in, Dukakis' campaign (in New York State) eventually evaporates." Cuomo, says Goldhllber, bas "excitement, stature, and a message. He probably would be the strongest Democratic candidate. I think his running is mon: and mon: a possibility. He bas failed to endorse a candidate, which is . a -clear signal of his availability and interest. I think he's waiting for the (Democratic) field to self-destruct and it is." 0 Symposium on 'radical poetries' will run April11-14 By PATRICIA DONOVAN ike tbe abstract anists with whom they an: frequently compared, "radical poets" pose difficult, if intriguing problems for the reader. One, for instance, calls birn.elf a "PCOET" because, regardless of what he writes, what you "C" determines wb&t you get. Also "CO" implies a joint effort by writer and reader and he probably works on a "PC". ln an attempt to .assess the position of the "radical" poetries, the PoetryI Rare Book Collection and Department of English will offer a symposium on "Radical Poetries/Critical Address," April 11-14 on the Amben;t Campus. . Radical poets frequently deconstruct laJiiuage, explore it, restructure it, and so, re-present not only the frame, but the -eontenl and meaning of the "picture" we have come to see in a limned way. ·Tbe effect · ~y be ~tartling,. st~­ ning, profoundly diSturbt~g, but tt Will al-ys involw the reader 10 tbe p~ocess as something other than s1mple observer. For the language poet, tbe experience · brought to the poem by the reader is considered to alter the poem in ways the poet is unable to predict. These poets do not seek to· "structure" the reader's experience of the material, but (o offer access to a new means of perception that changes the reader's sense L of the world. The radical or "posHtructuralist" poetry has no consistent mode of expression, may appear to have no rules, and seems to deliberately frustrate comprehension. With its peculiar syntax (or lack thereof), love of pun and refusal to sit still on the page like good little poetry, it defies analysis while luring the n:ader into another linguistic dimension. The early "radicals" include Genrude Stein, Laura Riding, Louis Zulcofslcy and Charles Olson, with a genuflection in the direction of William C.irlos Williams. Their ranks also include contemporary language poets like Ron Silliman, Don Byrd, Charles Bernstein and Susan Howe, who both admin: and depan from the . work of writen; like Wallace Stevens, Jack Kerouac, Ted Berrigan and Robert Creeley. They have nearly all tended to work outside academia and even to distrust it. · these poets may successfully resist interpretation. But most of them would insist that their work is accessible to the reader who fends off the urge to seek "deeper metni11g" anc! who enjoys the play of the iangua8e. mong the panieipants who will diacusa various aspects of the development of radical poetries an: Matjorie Perloff, well known critic from Stanford (Pottiu o_f lnd~t~r- A minacy); poet and critic Charles Bernstein (Content 's [}rea~. L=A=N=G= U=A=G=E), and poet, painter and critic Susan Howe (Dtftntslration of Pragw, Articulation of Sound Poems. My Emily Dick~nson). Literary scholars from UB, Temple Univen;ity, SUNY-Albany and Rutgen; Univen;ity' will complete the roster of panelists. They include Bruce Comens, professor of English at Temple; UB faculty Henry Sussman, Jack Clarice, Joseph Conte and Stacy Hubbard, and UB graduate student Linda Reinfeld. Other panelists an: poet Rosemary Waldrop (Rtproduction of Proftlt), who is also the publisher of Bunting Deck Pn:ss · and a highly respected Fn:nch/ English translator; Stein critic Marianne O.Koven of Rutgen; University, and poet Don Byrd, professor of English, SUNY-Albany. , Perloff will open the symposium with a lecture on "Artifice. Once More: PostStructuralism in the Age of Donahue" (April II, 3 p.m., 112 O'Brian Hall). use of repetitive statements, presents an uninterrupted series of instantaneous visions in an attempt to give the reader a moment in what she called "the complete actual present." ike Stein, Charles Olson, whose L work also will be addressed by the symposium (Apn1 12, 2 p.m., 608 Cle- mens), exalted the pal!" - itself as a "place to enact a liVIDg moment." Through various means, says Bernstein, Olson breaks down cas)' distinctions between saga, chronicle, JOurnal, essay, myth, narrative and other modes of address. ...-, A fourth panel (April 13, 2 p.m., 608 Clemens) Will consider I~ poetry in the context of its assum.r.llons and essentially discuss what it is abOut." Bernstein will close the symposium on April 14 (II a.m., 608 Clemens) with a lecture on bow tbe reader mipt approach the radical poetries. According to Bernstein, ""The value of the conference is that it presents an unusual opt>Ortunity to bear the poets The work of "objeetivist" poets Louis themselves m performance. Barrin& ~ Zulcofsky and Lorine Niedecker will be opportunity to bear it, I'd sugest rca~~: addn:ssCd in a panel on April 12 at 10 ing the work out loud. That alone will - a.m. in 608 Clemens Hall.

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

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

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

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

" When you're running in Alumni Arena, and it's a little cool, you can thank...or blame Ed Doty," Simpson noted .

With an eye to the future, Simpson went on, " Doty has pushed for more energy efficient new buildings and set 18.

The tension in Butler Auditorium was almost palpable. Even casual observers were biting their nails. This was. the day when the senior med ical students found out where they would spend tbcir ·hospital residencies. Students bad listed their choices and were matched throush computer with programs acrou the country. The students waited nervously for thei r names to be called. To mak.e the anticipation more c:rue1, the envelopes wtren\ in alpbabetical order. A group of atudeots toward the front of the auditorium opened a bottle of cbampagoe eva~ belore • their names wtre called, pedlaps out of confidence that they were there to celebrate. As students were summoned, they Walked hurriedly to the stqe, a couple balancios babies on their hips. Then came soUDda of rippias paper, ~allowed by squeals and abouts; hUJBIDg ~d clappins, horvh!uokea and baclc-c~ptng. In a few cases, there was disappointed silence. "We're within a percentage point of last year, which was a particularly good match year," noted Denrus Nadler, M.D. assistant dean of student aiTatrs in the' School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Of the 131 participants, about 60 per cent got their first choice. About 14 per cent were matched with their second choice and about 8 per cent, with their third . Only about 7 per cent w_ere matched below their fourth chOice, according to Nadler. , Cameras flashed and champagne corks popped like fll'tcrockers on the Fourth of July. The Jrilup near th~ front of the auditonum opened a second bottle. There was an announcement about a party to be held that evening at Paddy O's. Then the shouts subsided and the noise fell to an excited babble as students compared notes with friends on the pros and cons of the~r destinations. For the most part, this was a subdued class, remarked oru: veteran obse("lltr. · Subdued, but happy. 0 of our existing electrically heated North Campus buildings to much less expensive natural gas heat.

One dream has Niagara Mohawk and National Fuel Gas competing feverishly with 'l:ach other to supply UB's North Campus with energy at absolutely the lowest possible price." Noting that Doty has always been accessible to him and that the two have enjoyed discussions of such global concerns as over-population and resource shortages, Stmpson said that, " Before I took this job I heard people say some prett y outrageous things about Ed Doty; it never occurred to me that I'd end up thinking we had so much in common... 0 ----~~ Standards, according to archival material.

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

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

Few other schools give students the opportunity to acquire these skills with live clients." As for areas needing improvement, Filvaroff says ~ do not have the .resources to meet fully the demands of a law school of this size and quality. We also lack the advantages of time and money to support faculty research." He expl81DS that some disciplines are better suited to seeking outside grants, dean Filvaroff's agenda is created for him By ANN WHITCHER D avid Filvaroff settles into his O"Brian office and draws on a cigarette. The new dean of the law school bas been on the job for less than three months. He freely admits it's a big change from teaching law to administering SUNY's only law school. The 56-year-old Filvaroff came here from the University of Texas at Austin, where be taught for 15 years. ~Essentially, my agenda is created for me. There is the responding to crises and problems and the day-to-day flow of business. The pace is different. There is less time to reflect, read, and spend time talking to students and faculty. " The new dean expects this to change as he beeomes more familiar with the school's operation. Filvaroff says he's especially concerned about the threatened loss of State University Supplemental Tuition Assistance (SUSTA) to about 200 law students. ~Governor Cuomo's proposed budget would eliminate funding for SUSTA and work compensatory adjustments in the TAP (Tuition Assistance Program). Both TAP and SUSTA are needs-based programs." He continued : "The total amount of money involved currently about $325,000 - is small in terms of the overall Stale and SUNY budgets, but it is a substantial and crucial part of the law school's financial aid resources." Filvaroff says more than 20 per cent of the law students who are receiving SUSTA are economically disadvantaged black and Hispanic individuals. They have overcome "formidable barriers" in order to study law at SUNY. WeU over a third of the students, be says, are women. Four are handicapped, and 26 per cent are over 30. The latter .represent "the growing number of people who seek a career in law while raising a family and coping with other responsibilities." c "UB is considered special among law schools; Filvaroff will foster that." Fllvaroff is also busy recrwtmg an unspecified number of new faculty for the faU of 1988. "We're very attractive to prospective faculty. We're fortunate in having such an unusually rich group of candidates." F ilvaroff finds the UB law school "a very exciting place." He comments: "The faculty here are especially diverse . They represent a broad range of legal philosophies and include an unusuall y large number of individuals who do interdisciplinary work. Among them are a sizable group who hold graduate degrees iq other field s. There is a richness here, and th is is a justifiable source of envy by other law schools, including some of the most prominent in the country." Fllvaroff IS also pleased with the diversity and commitment of students. "I am pleased that so many come here with the purpose of engaging in public interest law and public service, including government. We seek to not only teach students how to do law, but to teach them about the law. That is, the extent to wliicb legal form and substance represent political and value choices." This, says Filvaroff, is what is called "the Buffalo Model," the law school's undergirding of its curriculum with a strong philosophical base. "We are .recognized for our continuing reevaluation of the curriculum and our rethinking of legal education." Such a broader understanding of the law, Filvaroff says, "will make our graduates better practitioners no matter what field of law they choose to go into. Sometimes it is sussested that focusing on broader aspects is irrelevant or not practical. ~ But this is not the case. It helps make an effective lawyer. Whether our students go on to represent commercial interests, or the government or the disadvantaged , the y must be able to understand , anticipate, and help shape the changes occurring in the legal system." also finds U B advanced in its creation of non-litigating clinics. F ilvaroff such as the sciences and engineering. The law library's holdings, too, could be improved . On the plus side, UB is indisputably a national law school, Filvaroff says. His associates at Austin and elsewhere, when asked to name the country's leading law schools, would rattle off Stanford , the University of Michigan, and Harvard, among others. But these same individuals would often cite the "specialness" of UB, a quality Filvaroff is happy to help foster. joining the University of 8roff efore Texas Law School faculty , Filvapracticed law in Cleveland for about four ·years before entering federal service.

Creeley, Jackson, and Christian are all members of the UB English faculty. Greeley is the Gray Professor of English. Jackson and Christian direct the Ph.D. Program in Folklore, Mythology, and Film Studies here. u . Creeley is one of America's most highly regarded poets. He is the author of more than two dozen volumes of poetry, essays, and fiction , and his work bas been translated into all the worl\l's major languages. Additionally, his work is part of all maj or antholo- • gies of mid-<::entury American literature. In 1982, the University of California Press published The Collect~d Poems of Robert Creeley 1945-1975 and in 1988 The Co/lecud Prou of Robert Crul~y. "Creeley" includes scenes from the · poet's performances at Har'Vard Univer- sity, the Modem Language Association of America in Washington, and the Naropa Institute in Boulder. It also includes a scene in the kitchen of poet Ed Dorn that has been described by one critic as "the most hilarious conversation between two poets ever to make it to film. " The film also includes conversations about Creeley's work and life fUmed at his summer home in Maine and in his apartment in Buffalo. There is also an evaluation qf Creeley's poetry by AUen Ginsberg. "Creeley" was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Jackson and Christian are noted documentary filmmakers. Two of their films, "Death Row" and "Out of Order," were broadcast by public television stations in the United States, France, and Germany. These fllms were also selected for many international film festivals and screened by the , -Museum of Modem Art in New York and the Arsenal in Berlin, among other major museums and film centers.

Last week's lecture focused on what Ginsberg considers one of the c_h1ef characteristics of Amencan soc1ety today, "a universal sense of inadequacy and bewilderment." uMost folks have a very \ow self~teem, a feeling of powerlessn~," he said. • And underneath 11 all IS a larger fear that slowly the whole wo~ld is moving inexorably toward a pohce state, that a shadow government slowly will rise and have more we1ght than the so~led democratic one 1 read about in grammar school. 0 -ls this a solipsistic fantasy or have others bad this anxiety?" he aslr.ed. looking for a show of hands. uHow many have bad this anxiety? How many have not'? How many would like a police state? ... Along with the overwhelming sense of inadequacy that characterizes individuals, Ginsberg added, is a general distrust and an isolation of individuals from each other and from society. The first step in overcoming this condition is recognition of it, he said, rather than blindly assuming "that God's in His heaven, all is well, a'!d democracy is as it was when we were m grammar school." hat 's where poetry came in.

A renewed appreciation of the natural world, of our senses, and ~f our own feelings were among the anudotes offered. h is important to recognize what is of real value to us, Ginsberg emphasized . He told of a week-long therap y session he participated in last falL "There were people there who had achieved a great deal of material wealth, like a Dallas housewife with lots of houses and lots of white furni· ture," he said . "'But they were there because their !rids were into coke or were smashing up cars or commiuing suicide.

The lack- of trust and o( oommurnca- tion extends beyond interpersonal relationships to society and to the natural world, he said. .

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

Kaja Silverman, noted fLim theorist and semiotician, tbinlcs not. Silverman came to UB last week to present two lectures. In the first she took a psychoanalytic look at Hollywood moVIes of the late 1940s, focusing on William Wyler's post-World War II classic, "Best Years of Our Lives." In the other she gave a bold analysis of the Statue of Liberty. Miss Liberty's missing female anatomy was a deliberate choice on the part of the French sculptor Fn!dc!ricAuguste Bartboldi, said Silverman . The anist departed from his original conception of t.he statue, as well as from traditional French depictions of Liberty which showed her bare-bosomed and passionate, to create a kind of colossus without sexual parts. Both of Silverman's lectures focused on the search for an American identity, sex roles, and missing body parts. "Best Years of Our Lives~ provided her with fuel for an analysis of America after World War 11. Here we find a character who returns from the war without arms, played by an actor who bad himself lost his arms in the war. He interacts with a crowd of characters who, for various reasons, have sulTered a kind of loss of self. "Best Years of Our Lives," Silverman observed, does not, like Miss Liberty, try to present a view of America triumphant, but a post-war America plagued by missing limbs, flimsy marriages, and unemployment. Taken separately or together, Silverman's lectures added up to some surprising insights into American culture. iven tbe semiotic treatment, Liberty took on a whole new meaning . (or meanings). In a lecture, entitled "Liberty, Maternity, and Commodification," Silverman' examined the relationship of the American public to Lady Liberty, taking tbe opportunity to pose the 9uestion, is the Lady a tramp? Given her sexless quality, prostitution and our Miss Liberty hardly seem to go in band. It is argued that Baitboldi either used a whore or his mother as a model for the statue, said G x ~ "' ~ ~ ~ t Silverman, but this anecdote is only a minor part of the history of Lady Liberty as a commodity for exchange. Besides, Americans were never aware of the French debate over the statue's passion or lack of iL In France, where representations of Liberty had a long history, whether or not Liberty would have bared breasts meant a great deal. What did the Americans think of it? .. , would go so far as to s uggest that Bartholdi's statue failed at first to signify much of anything to the American public," Silverman said. This presented a problem to the statue's sponsors, she noted. If Americans were expected to cough up the money to erect the statue, someone would have to make them care about her. Enter Joseph Pulitzer of newspaper fame, and thus begins the "commodification" of Liberty. Silvermlll) was quick to point out that the statue's very history is one of casb exchanges, .. commodification," and one might infer, a kind of symbolic prostitution. In just five months, Pulitzer managed to inspire the American public, raise the money necessary to erect the statue, and dramaticaiJy increase sales of his newspaper, the World, to boot, said Silverman. Whether or not the statue's "original~ was for sale, Liberty herself has Kaja Silverman always been an expensive companion. Unlike other gifts this one was mixed up in what Silverman termed "an onerous fmancial obligation.~ She cost the American public $400,000 to install. S ilverman noted that Pulitzer printed the names of •contributors in his paper along with letters from these immigrants, children, widows, and pensioners - letters that may have been fakes, designed to get publicity. "The American public,~ she argued, . "was sold the image of the United States in which 'they dreamed of seeing themselves,~ an America that speaks to the common people, and which welcomes "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." We have continued to pay for that dream ever since, observed Silverman, "underwriting in the process countless subsidiary products and political schemes, from World War I bonds to Sure deodorant (which used Liberty to promote their product) .~ The statue represents such a valuable commodity, s&Jd Silverman, precisely because she provides the image through which America recognizes itself as a society. "It is thus our national identity which is being traded upon," she concluded. Known as a collector of antique cloth- tures, "Make Believe: Hollywood , World War II, and Male Subjectivity.~ As in her discussion of the Statue of Liberty, here Silverman was also concerned with America's self-image. Rather than the idealized Liberty which serves to reinforce the American ideal here Silverman discussed the Americ;u; ideal in trouble. An abundance of Hollywood films in the late '40s, Sltverman said, featured what she described, in psychoanalytic terms, as "castrated male subjectivity.~ Films like "Spellbound ," "Gilda,~ and "It's a Wonderful Life~ feature men who, unlike the typical Hollywood hero, are weak, unstable, or incapable. Silverman wondered how it could happen that Hollywood would produce so many films of this type, and so suddenly. Hollywood bas always been an important supplier of the paternal images through which we all learn the pro{'CT roles in our culture, she noted. Silverman argued that the motivation for the cultural turn away from this pattern was the trauma of war. These filin.s mark the divide l:etween pre- and post-war Americ&, she said. "We all invest in the dominant fiction of our cuJture," she said - an investment which, as sbe observed in her other lecture, inspired Americans to donate money for Lady Liberty's recent centennial. This fiction of America would include the notion of total egalitarianism - an idea that Silverman noted was hedged by the keynote speaker at the Statue of Liberty's centennial celebration. We don't really want the wretched refuse of anyone's teeming shore do we? Other parts of the mytb of America would include the rules of the patriarchy complete with \ he infallibility of men and the sanctity of our family institutions. Such fantasies, Silverman noted , are never quite true. And history, she said , is the mechanism able to expose that fact. Silverman is the author of The Subjtcl of Semiorics and the recently published The Acousric Mirror. Her next book, Mak Subjtcriviry at the Mar~ns. isforthcomin~ 0 - Montague to read here as UB adds archive of his work By PATRICIA DONOVAN ohn Montague, one of the most distinguished Irish poets of his generation, will read from h.is work on March 30, at 8 p.m. m tbe Poetry/ Rare Book Room, 420 Capen. . Tbe reading is in conjunciion with Montague's residency with the UB Poetry Collection, March 22-April 6, and the acquisition of a John Montague archive by the collection. Montague, a native of Brooklyn, '":as raised in Ireland and carne to matunty as a poet in the period that followed the grand lyric expression and mytbologi~ intensity of William Butler Yeats. With Richard M'!!J'hy, Seamus Heaney, and Thomas Kinsella, Montague forQled a aroup of poets wbo bad experienced the economic depression of the 1930& and the trauma of Worid War II. deB!oJied their ~ture poetic J voices in the 1950s. During the past 20 years, Montague has written, ed1ted, or translated more th·an 24 books of Irish poetry. He has distinguished himself as a modem Irish poet who deals with painfully rediscovered Irish traditions including the Celtic myth (A Slow Dance, 1975); the conflict between the m(/dern literary voice and th~ obligations of ancient tradition (Forms of Exile, 1958; Rough Fttld, 1972); and the failure of love relationships as an analogue to the failed relationshlp between inflamed religious factions in the North and South of Ireland (The Grear CIOQ/c, 1978). In his latest major work, The Dead Kingdom (1984), Montague works out a correspondence between the greaf black bog of Ireland, the country's rugged and beautiful landscapes, his stron11 feelings of love, and his fearful inheritance his Irish past. In a series of rich lyric ~. be a~ as a con- ·or temporary prophet of the Irish condition. T anhe Poetry Collection has acquired archive of MontagUe's work that consists of notebooks containing drafts and early versions of poems and stories, and corrected typescripts of all of his ~ublished work, except for Fprms o Exik. In ad ilion, the archive conta.lns origina! illustrations by Barrie Cooke for Montague's book All UgouJ.ary Obstacles; proof copies; correspondence with editon and publishers for each of Mootague's books; journals; diaries; and letters to Montague. According to ~obert Bertholf, curator of the Poetry/ Rare Books Collection, the archive ~provides a record in letters of Montague's relationships to British, American and Freoch poets. . . . (It is) a record of the development of a generation of poets who matured between the wars." Montague is a graduate of Univenity College, Dublin, where he received a B.A. (1949) and an M.A. (1952). He was a Fulbright Scholar at Yale University and earned a master's of fine arts degree from the Poetry Workshop at the 't.Jniversity of Iowa in 1955. He has taught at the University of California, Berkeley; University College, Dublin; the Experimental University of Vincennes and is currently on the faculty of University College, Cork. The Poetry Collccton owns what is considered the finest manuscrip collection of James Joyce materials in the world as well as books by "all the principallrisb writers, including Yeats: Tbe· Mon~e archive extends the Irish manuscnpt collection into con· temporary literature and, according to Bertholf, "brings literary and cultural docUments into tbe Poetry Collection that permit a penetrating view into the heart and soul of one writer who personifies the turmoil and terrible beauty of the country of Ireland." · 0 �rffUHP/J/ rf~~ ~~ b Melissa Banta & Gscar Silverman ed1t a p By ylvia Beach made no bones about it. "I worshipped James Joyce," she proclaimed , and while it is clear that Joyce, like most gods, did not return her love, a new book of his correspondence underscores the reliance of o ne of the century's preeminent writers on the woman who launched, sustained, and protected h1s career for more than a decade.

Silverman (Indiana University Press, December 1987) is a selection of the author's letters, excerpted from the outstanding Joyce Collection at UB. It is called by Banta a "sparse, unbeautiful message .. . between two people whose understanding was implicit and perhaps privote as well." Howev~r banal the subject matter of his notes to her, however terse and decidedly unpoetic the language, the material included clarifies the ·remarkable relationship between Beach and her "Melancholy Jesus." It contributes to the assertion that without her, his major worl< would not exist as we know it and puts to rest , along the way, a few controversies regarding the affiliation between novelist and publisher. The two met in 1920, at the home pf French poet Andre Spire. The next day, Beach spied Joyce "drooping in a corner" of her bookstore, Shakes~are and Company, in Paris' Rue de I'Odeon. "Is this the great James Joyce?" she asked. "James Joyce," he replied. An inauspicious beginning, but within a few months, tbe young bookseUer, with absolutely no publishing experience, · offered to publish Ulyssu, Joyce's satirically brilliant epic, in spite of an intemaliooal furor over obscenity issues. • Their correspoodeoce begins in 1921 with a note on Jo.)oe's caDing card in which be blames the current flare-up of his chronic eye disease on the Greek soroereu, Circe, whom be sugests is punishing bim for havin& wriucn Mber" section .of UlyueJ. It ends in 1940 when the German occupation of faris precipitated Joyce's flight to Zurich, where be died in 1941. In keeping with Joyce's d.e sire to maintain a public image as a degage genius, Beach served for 12 years as his public persona, working fiercely to peddle his controversial masterpiece, while Joyce plotted each move from backstage. Says her biographer, Noel Riley Fitch, "They were the most successful clandestine promotional team in the history of high art." material ·b f James yu 's Leuers, which among other things verifies be extent of this team work, was meticulously preserved by Beach for more than 30 years. It includes scores of !etten; related specificaUy to the publication ofUlysses and, according to Robert Bertholf, curator of tbe UB Poetry1Rare Book CoUection, Mis particularly valuable in substantiating the mclhod by which J oyoe wrote and edited Finnegan's Wah, "considered his most arcane work. For this reason, Bertholf says that its publication will be of special interest to Joyce scholars. He notes as well that the correspondence verifies the extent to which Beach was responsible for the production of Ulysses in its final form. " His continual and extensive corrections and additions to the typeset proofs increased the book's length by mor< than one-third," Bertholf says. "If it wasn' for Beach's constant intervention on his behalf with the , printer, her willingness to incur debt and sustain considerable pressure in order to comply with his editorial demands, we would not have the Ulysses we know. " Joyce 's propensity for Jl.rofoundly alterine typeproofs (be added 10,000 words tn his ofteo indecipherable handwriting) was nearly the bane of Beach-the-publisher. In transcribing .his letters, Banta says she confronted the same stoney silence from printers when The UB·-Sylvia ' he relationship between the materials coUected in James Joyu's Leiters to Sylvill &ach, 1921-1940, edited by Melissa Banta aod Oscas A.

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

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

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

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

While driving home from work, your car skids on a patch of ice and crashes into a pole. Your head smashes into the windshield . You awake. Three months have passed. You've been in a coma. As a result of the violent impact, your brain has swelled, causing severe damage to the frontal lobe. You can no longer think quite right. You can' remember what street you live on or who th ose people arc who keep visiting yo u. Planning events and activities is no longer possi ble. I T hese are among the typical problems faced by persons with Traumatic Brain Injury (T BI), said Barry Willer, UB professor of psychiatry. Because of these and other losses. persons with TBI face a nUIJ!ber of difficulties in re-integrating into the community, their families, and their jobs. said Willer. Willer and John Noble, professor of social work and rehabilitative medicine, are directors of the newly announced National Rehabilitation Research Center (RRTC) at UB. The center will provide training and research to help persons with TBI. These are typically young males who have suffered serious head injury from auto accidents. Others are victims of falls and assaults. Some often Jack the ability to control their impulses. "You or I might be sitting at a meet· ing, bored, and have thoughts about doing something odd," Willer illustrated. "We have the ability to think about it first and refrain frqp1 acting.' The "person with TBI often docs it first, then thinks about it." Such behavior is often considered an emotional problem, he said, when it really isn \. The person understands that the behavior tS wrong, but lacks the ability to control it. Many with TBI are no longer able to make good decisions . Nor are they able to return to a job that requires a lot of me_mory use. That doesn't leave them many options. 0 ptions for these formerl y inde· pendent persons include psychiatric or nursing facilities . These are ··restrictive facilities, .. said Willer. However. the majority of those with TBI go directly home. There. disabled and dependent. they are a financial and emoti o nal burden on their famlilies. They also require constant supervision .' .. Not much is a"ailable in term s of monetary support other than minimal su bsis ten ce fund in g."' Willer added . That does little to offset the enorm o us cost of mo nths of hospital care and permanent in·home care. Some o f th ose with TBI have been helped by se rvices fo r th e mentall y ill or the developmentally disabled. he said. But these services are inappropriate for their condition .

For one thing, said Willer, the problem is relatively new. Not long ago. most of them would have died from their injuries. For that reason. there are no accurate statistics on the number or condition of those with TBI. Of those with TBI. not all are seve rely impaired. But even those discharged with mild TBI may have residual im pairments in speech. language, social and motor skills, memory. and judgment, said Willer. Medical advances have made it possible for these individuals to survive. but the new technologies have not yet dealt with the quality of their lives. Those with TBI need a new approach to their care and treatment, Willer said . Through training, they may acquire the skills needed to become productive family and community members. The National Head Injured Foundation, the cw York State and Ontario Head Injured Associations and other advocacy groups will provide that care nd training. The R R TC will provide training and technical assistance to the advocacy groups ""3?1d other service organizations dealing with TBI persons, Willer said. The R R TC will be one of only five centers for TBI research nationally. Of that number, it will be the only one dealing with community aspects of the problem. The others deal strictly with in-patient care. For Willer and Noble. the goal is to , establish UB as a national leader in research on training people wi th disabilities. The University will provid"e the computer equipment for the research and funding for a visiting professor internationally acclaimed in neuropsychology. Thert is a shortage in that field, said Willer, because training hasn' kept up with the current demand . Another goal is to see U B provide that kind of training. D �March 17, 1988 Volume 19, No. 21 You think it was flu? You're probably right By ANTHONY CHASE Y Principals at press conference: (seated, 1-r) Wilier, Bums, Noble, Switzer, Rempel (at mike), Provost Greiner, Naughton, Seidl. Standing near. banner: President Sample. BRAIN INJURY--.:. ._ _ _. . Co-di rector Noble said it is estimated by the National Head Injury Foundation that from 177 to 295 persons per 100,000 population annually s uffer from TBI. Of th is number, approximately 4.3 per cent are left with residual deficits which make community reentry after hospitalization difficult. " Funding of the RRTC," he noted, "is a response to the 1986 amendments to the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which recognized that many disabled persons could not be gainfully employed without benefit of intensive, ongoing suppon services." These amendments, he sai~ funher recognized there were various supportive employment opti ons which could help a substantial number of persons with severe disabilities. These persons had not previously been considered eligible for tr aditional time-limited vocatio nal services that could help them gain employment. ...This project on community integralion of persons with TBI is critical for several reasons," said Fredrick Seidl. Ph.D., dean of the School of Social Work . He emphasized that the scope of the national problem concerning TBl continues to increase at a breathtaking pace . About half the persons affected are between a(leS 15 and 24 . .. Because thas is a relatively new problem, very little appropriate service i~ provided ; there are great gaps in needed services confounding the problems faced by these people and their families." Seidl said the project, which involves many people, agencies, and services in the U.S. and Canada, represents a major effon to bring science, reason, and scholarship to bear on the problem of TBI. .. We are excited to have the center here because we know in the hands of this fine grouP. of faculty, results will emerge that Will help guide government and private sector policy decisions for years to come," Seidl said. J ohn Naughton, M.D ., dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said his school is very pleased with the successful outcome of Noble's and Willer's effons. Over the past 12 years, Naughton noted, U B bas recruited an outstanding faculty in rehabilitation mediCine whose 1effons toward developing an environment that could suppon and nunure such a program as the RRTC have obviously been fruitful. "This new program is the first multi• disciplinary program developed between the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the School of Social Work and complements the effons of the Western New York Health Science Consonium. The latter agency includes an acute head injury unit at Erie Country Medical Center and has supponed Our Lady of Victory Hospital's cenificate of need for a 26-bed chronic head injury treatment unit," be said. Naugbton said the program's emphasis-on community care and suppon ser- vices represents an innovative and timely approach to dealing with this imponant public health problem . Having the RRTC located in New York State is a milestone in providing better services for those with traumatic brain injury, said Richard Switzer, deputy commissioner of the New York State Education Depanment's Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. Switzer said a large number of persons w1th TBI have been ·injured in automobile accidents. Primar ily, he noted, these victims are young people who can be rehabilitated to re-<:nter their community as productive members of society. "The overall goal is for each person who has TBI to reach his or her potentia! in the community, .. Switzer added . He emphasized that the project is a cost effective one, for ... whatever we spenll toward rchabilitaling any person who is disabled , there is a great return." Pamela Burns, founder and executive director of the New York State Head Injury Association, said that community integration and community services for persons with head injuries and their families are the most needed components of the rehabilitative system . Burns, who is also vice president of state association affairs for the National Head Injury Foundation. said 85 per cent of those admitted to hospitals w1th diagnosis of head injury are da~charged to home and community wathout specific head injury resources to serve them. ou •ay you had a fever. chills. you ached all ove r, and you felt too weak to get out of bed?

"Their lives will have been saved but a lifeti~e of ~justment will have· just begun, he pomted out. Rempel, who is also treasurer of the relatively young Head Injury Association of Canada said the info rmation and research gathered through the RRTC will mark one of t~t; first concrete steps in giving commumues across the U.S. and Canada t~he i~formation and opportunity to provtde tmproved programs and services for those with TBI once they return home. Co-direftor Willer also cited the fact that government interest in individual s with TBI has also been spurred by intensive effons of advocacy groups. Most notable of these is the National Head Injury Foundation and their affiliates, primarily composed of family, fnends and care providers for those withTBI. . "An important concept in dealing with disabled persons is to remember that they are ~opk first," Willer emphasized. This concept, be added, is ingrained in the underlying philosophy or the RRTC and all its associated projects. 0 Cuo·mo will speak at commencement G ov. Mario M .

Hi s topics range from cancer to AIDS, covering anything of general public concern. A recent segment examined the death of Canisius basketball player Jeff Taggan. On Super Tuesday, Ostrow discussed the death of U.S. President William McKinley. How does all of this relate to his job at the University?

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

ALTBACH cademic freedom is a many splendored, and often illdefined , thing. For the purposes of this essay, academic freedom means the freedom to do research and publication in the area of one's speciality and to speak and write publicl y on broader subjects that are related to one's scholarly expertise without fea r of job loss, legal problems, o r admiilis trativc harassment. This is a rather traditional definition that stems from the emergence of the research-based university in 19th century Germany and is somewhat less broad than th e currently held Anglo-American notions of academic freedom. Our co nce rn here is with academic freedom in th e Third World, a nd specifically with th e si tuation in the highly successful newly industrializing nations of Singapore A of creating a political and social culture out of a historical tradition of coiOniaJism, ethnic connict. and other divisions.

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

Taiwan, in a sense, has the worst of both appointment systems.

In Singapore, there is a tenure system for most academics, although the majority of expatriate staff (who constitute about half of the faculty at the National Univenity of Singapore. the country's only university) are on renewable term appointments.

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

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

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

It was in 1887 that Melvil Dewey (of Dewey Decimal classification fame) established the first school of librarianship at what is now Columbia University. But he immediately ran into problems with the Columbia Trustees because be admitted women to a men's institution, so he moved the school with him to Albany where he became director of the New York State Library. By 1926 Columbia was repentant and welcomed the school back to its family where it still resides as the School of Library Service. The purpose of this essay is not only to give a brief survey of the development of education for librarianship but also to present an overview of the rapid growth of libraries and their current status in our society. Few people outside the library profession are fully aware of the wide 1mpaq of libraries or of the challenges faced by those of us involved in educating professionals for this field . F rst, a ~uick historical survey of libraries. Libraries are almost 5,000 years old , having been traced to 28002700 B.C. in ancient Mesopotamia. There is much historical literature which records their growth and development through ancient Egypt, into classical Greece and Rome, through the dark period of the Middle Ages, into the great intellectual awakening during the Renaissance, and throuP' the modern period wben libranes bave had their greatest expansion. Throughout this long period libraries have survived fires, floods, tyrants, vandals, inquisitions,_ revolutions, wars, book-burnings, and budget cnses. At the same time it should be noted that the information formats in library collections have constantly changed from clay tablets, to wood, papyrus seroUs, leather, parchment, silk, printed books on paper (beginning in the 15th century), journals, newspapers, and, in recent times, photographs, film, microform, audio recordings on disk or cassette, videotape, videocassette, and, of course, computer-generated information formats . Indeed, the creation of so many new information formats in the last 100 years has been astounding. Future historians will probably look back on this period similarly to the way we look back on the invention of pnnting and its wide impact. 1 L ibrary locations have also changed over the last 5,000 years. At first, libraries were located in temples, churches, and then monasteries. It was not until after the Renaissance that libraries began to be found in their own buildings to any large extent. The last 100 YCIIJS have seen the proliferation of thousands of library buildings in the United States. The role of the librarian bas also changed and evolved over centuries from high priest, slave librarian, civic official, scholar librarian to . professionally trained librarian. Up to the eod of the 19th century most librarians ltamed their work through on-the-job training or entered tbe field from other professions (journalism, law, aDd the ministry being the most frequent sources). The lut 100 years, aod particularly the last 40 years, have seen a tremendous inCQPK in number aod variety of libraries as well as in collection sizes. :rbere bas also been a concomitant incruse in the number of librarians an4 other information professionals. tlie The first true, tax-supported public library was established in Boston in 1848. By 1896 there were 970 public libraries in the U.S. Their number then jumped to 3,873 in 1925 and to 8,865 (plus 6,350 branches) in 1987. There were barely 450 academic libraries some 100 years ago. Now there are 3,400. There were practically no school libraries (in elementary, junior, and senior high schools) 100 years ago. Now there are almost 93,000 school library media centers in both public and private schools. At most there were a few do~n special libraries serving business, scientific, and other .,encies I00 years ago. Now there are at least 12,000 and perhaps as many as 18,000 special libranes located at museums, research institutes, banks, advertising and marketing agencies, newspapers, hospitals, government offices, law firms. cotporations, etc. • Indeed, this rapid growth of libraries bas been concentrated in the last 40 years during which the total number of libraries in the U.S. has grown from some 31,000 in 1947 to about 120,000 in 1987. Our own University Libraries are a good ~xample of the rapid growth of coUecuon SIZC. Thirty years ago they contained about 250,000 volumes and subscribed to 2,400 journals. Last year, our libraries contained over 2.4 million volumes and subscribed to almost 12,000 journals. The number of librarians has grown equall y rapidl y. U.S. census data show 52,000 in 1950; 85,000 in 1960; 124,000 in 1970; and 187,000 in 1980. Th1s 1s the second m a seues of papers by the Umversity's academ1c robe pub!rshed penodiCally during !he academic year. Each dean 1nwted to dtscuss issues of concern for his 01 her school undergraduate major in library science. We accept undergraduate degrees from almost any field . In this sense we are. like law medicine or the M.B.A. which do not ;.quire undergraduate majors. But the M.L.S. is usually a one-year, 36-<:redit-hour program. Within the M.L.S. we must not only proVIde introductory survey courses which provide a core of basic knowledge, but also advanced elective courses for specialization by type of library or type of work in a library. Curricula refl ect the wid e va riety of tas ks and responsi bilities perfo rmed by librarians. First, it should be noted that librarians do not check out books. We have a serious image problem because library users cannot identify who is a librarian and who is support staff. In most larger libraries a small proportion of the staff is made up of professional librarians. In any case. as managers of information resources, librarians are specialists in: identifying information needs; knowing where and how to find various types of information; collecting, T E ducation for librariansbip has also grown and developed sioce the establishment of the first school at Columbia. Other schools were quickl y founded, though it was not until 1924 that the American Library Association established a national accreditation agency to brini order out of the confusion of a wide variety of education programs that were being offered. In 1926 the Camegi_e Corporation provided funds for the establishment of the first Ph.D. program at the University of Chicago. Most of the library profession looked at this with suspicion, because the great majorii y of hbranans at that time had at best a bachelor's degree in library science, and there were no master's programs. But the Chicago doctorate had a positive 1mpact on the beginning of research in the profession and in the preparation of facult y .members for schools of libra ry sctence. Shortly after World War II the master of library science ~e the standard professional degree, and undergraduate programs began to be phased out in favor of a liberal arts background. There are now over 100 institutions offering M.L.S. degrees, but only 54 are accredited. It was not until 1948 that the second Ph.D. program was established at the University of Illinois. This was quickly followed by tbe establishment of doctoral pro~ at other' leading universities, mcluding Michigan, Columbia, _Wisconsin, Berkeley, UCLA, Texas, Indiana, and Olapel Hill. There are now 20 doctoral programs in library aDd information science in the U.S. At UB, SILS is in tbe process of establishin& a doctoral program with the !;all of 1989 as tbe target for first enrollments. Education for librarianship has some uniq~ features which are not common to most gradu~ programs. There is no have inco~rated the name as well as the discipline in their titles and curricula.. Most schools of library SCience have become schools of library and information science. SILS was established in 1966 as the Graduate School of Library Science but by 1968 was one of the first to encompass a broader approach when its name was changed to the School of Informatio n and Library Studies. Information scie~ce pla.ccs a great emphasis on the apphcall?n of modem technologies to Information storage and retrieval. It also concerns. itself with the stud y of the charactenstacs of mform ation. espe· £!.ally how it is transferred a nd handled. The information explosio n wh ich began after World War II res ulted n01 o nl y in the growth and creation ol many libraries, but also in the establishment of many other information agencies arrd information handling positions. Schools of librarv and information science began to also prepare graduates for these inform ation management positions outside of th e library environment. And so, we n oV~ find master's graduates who are obtaining positions with titles as 1 a ned as information analyst, informati on specialist, information counselor. information resource manager. database manager, indexer, sys(em; analyst, etc., in business and government fields.

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

M asses of humanity assail t he Metro (su bway, electric tandem streetcars . and buses). But for five kopecks (approximate ly I 0 cents), you can get almost anywhere within the city. I hear on ly mufned sounds of quick movement. 0 ut and about in Moscow and Le ningrad, I imagine that I am back nome - except for those st reet signs and bill- or culture . Yet , here I am winging my way to "Zhivagoland.• If I harbor any preconceived expectatjons of this Y!l$1 co u ntf)'.p1~ they are based on Dr. Zhivago, recent coverage of Mikhail and Raaisa Gorbachev's visit to the U.S., and the disarmament negotiations. I arrive late on January 1 I. Because of the northern latitude, the daylight is brief and there are heavy snow clo-...1ds. The weighty feeli ng of low light levels is extended by the use of low wattage lighting in most apartments. stores. and public buildings. . All vehicles use only parking hghts or extremely low lumen output headlights. I notice the sturdy and enduring appearance of the Russian people. They are shorter than most Americans but are powerfully built. The predominance of black, grey, and other muted dark shades of outerwear, autos , an d buildings anchors my feeling of envelo ping somberness.

Never mind that a train is already over capacity. A little battering ram tactics and there is always room for one more. boards. Everything is written in the characters of the Cyrillic alphabet. There are no shouted greetings or child re n calling to o ne another. Actually, t here are very few youngsters to be seen in the daytime. Occasionally, I see a grandmother clu tching a toddler bundled in fur, or a grandfather pushin~ a baby about in the many ltttle park areas. The teenage boys seem to be merchant tradesmen. I am continually, but always politely , approached with offers to trade "gifts" such as Jordache jeans for a lovely, warm "Elmer Fudd"-type hat. Or perhaps I'd like a lacquer box? No? Well , then how about our popular, unique· ly Russian Matryuschka dolls or a flag? Maybe you have Reeboks or electronics to trade? PHOTOS: MARLENE ANDRUSZ �March 17, 1988 Volume 19, No. 21 'ZHIVAGOLAND' years of age. Some of the children are studying English. Nineyear-old Katya .is an animated conversationalist. She is especially interested in the activities of American children. A journey through the countryside takes us away from all the hustle and bustle to the ancient capital of Vladimir and then to Suzdal, once the site of a large women's labor and internment camp. A light dusting of snow sets off the fabled golden onion domes of the many churches. Russia is officially a nonreligious state with only a handful Of active churches and synagogues. Most of these glorious - buildings are now museums that house the timeless relics , and golden tcons · of the Orthodox Church. The exteriors are mostly whitewashed brick. They are capped with arches, statues and carvings. All these are complemented by genuine gold leaf filigree or bas relief surfaces. Inside we notice a Jack of seating . Worshippers would stand throughout the services. How~er, the czar, his family, and odJer dignitaries enjoyed a vantage from _a gold and jewelembellished , semi~nclosed dais. Preserved robes and crowns of the prelates echo the breathtaking lavishness and elegance of a bygone era. "M ot her Russia" is enjoying an unusually ..warm., winte r in the areas we visit eight degrees centigrade by day. The crunch of frozen snow underfoot , black starless heavens, an occasional scurrying pedestrian silhouetted in the pale light, smoke curling skyward from wood-burning stoves, the distant howling of some thickcoa ted dog. This is my assessment of a Soviet night. R eturning to Moscow, we board a night train to Leningrad. Ensconced in our works by the old masters gathered in one place. Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Degas, Michelangelo. All are displayed without glass. Nor are there great distances from object to viewer. There are also beautiful inlaid parquet floors . To protect them , we are asked to put on felt slippers provided in huge wooden crates as we enter. tiny compartment, we try to get comfortable. Soon we are served piping hot tea in silver filigree holders and glass mugs. We are now warm and cozy, so it seems reasona ble to retire early. We speed along smoothly through the black night, but sleep eludes us. At one point, our compartment door flies open. From my top bunk, I see a uniformed and "Soviet Crested" male peer in. I never do find out the purpose of his unannounced intrusion. S oon we are in Leningrad . Here we see many shopkeepers and residents sweeping away the light overnight snowfall and litter with their twig brooms. The streets and walkways arl7all pristinely clean compared to Moscow. Our new quarters, "The Prybaltiskaya," offer a marvelous view of lhe Baltic Sea. Nearby is a large "Beriozka" (foreign currency) shop. This is abundantly stocked with the merchandise most desired by foq:ign visitors. It is not normally open to Soviet nationals. We are told that it is a punishable crime for any Russian citizen to possess the equivalent of S30 or more in American currency. So we firmly decline offers to change our currency for rubles, although we receive offers far in excess of the going exchange rate. I n W e visit a memorial to the thousands of Russians , both military and civilian, who perished during the 900-day siege of Leningrad. '~:My are interred in aisles of mass graves. This is an emotional moment for all and especially for our guide, Tanya, who expres~es her strong hopes for an endunng peace. W e are at the famous "Hermitage." Never before have I seen so many Russia~ everyone is em- ployed, we an: lold. H owever, unless the family can afford to finance one's maintenance. there is no welfare. Elderly women. who are pensioned veterans . proudly wear their campaign ribbons. Many of them are employed as "watchers" or guards in the museums or palaces. Or they are coatroom atten d ants.

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

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

Law honors the late Manly Fleischmann T he Law School's celcbralion of its firsl century continued Salurday, March 5, at a Centennial Law Convocation held in the Center for Tomorrow. Following lunch , President . Steven B. Sample presented the School's 1988 Edwin F. J accklc Award posttwmously to Manly Fleischmann. Fleisc3mann was a renowned law graduate of lhc Class of 1933 who passed away lasl March af1er a distinguished career ·in legal service and education. "The man whom we honor here today symbolized the tradition of excellence which has characterized legal education and}he legal profession here in Buffalo," :Sample srud . " While we recognize the enormous contribution which Mr. Fleischmann has made to State. national, and in ternational law and relations, we also recall his close association wilh lhc University and the importanl influence he had on its early development. " Sample recalled lhal Fleischmann once taughl on ·thc law facully and was one of lhc original trustees of the UB Foundation. In 1965, Gov. Rockefeller appointed him to the SUNY Board of Trustees, a position he held until 1979. "Fortunalcly, Manly Fleischmann had the satisfaction of seeing many of his ideas transformed into realities, said Sample, noting that the late attorney had participaled in the important dcci· sions to merge UB inlo the SUNY system, and to build the campus in Amherst. Professor Albert R. Mugcl, who has taugh!iii the Law School for almost 50 years, also spoke movingly .of his laic friend and partner in the Buffalo law finn of Jaccldc, Fleischmann, and Mugcl. Also participating in the program was Dean DaVId B. Filvaroff and Law Alumni Association Prcsidenl Robert W. Keller. II was the first time thai the Jaecldc award - the highest honor the Law School can bestow - was givJ:rt posthumously since it was established in 1976. Felischmann had previously received the Chancellor Charles P. Norlon Medal, which is UB's hi~cst honor, and the SUNY Distin~gutshed "Citizen Award. Flciscbmti.nn's widow, Lois etsehmann, accepted the Jaeclde Award and said: "If Manly were here today, I am siue he would wish all the attorneys in the audience enticing ·vistas of endless litigation." More than 200 people also attended a morning symposium on the topic, "Hiring and F'lrtJll!: Views from Both Sides."

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